Superstar From Age 0

Chapter 57

“Wow. I guess they are shooting a movie here.”

“I know. I wonder which movie is it?”

Tourists, looking around Central Park, looked up and saw a place where many people gathered.

Central Park, a park in the heart of Manhattan, New York, USA, is also one of the most popular places for filming movies.

The locals are accustomed to seeing a movie being filmed here, turned back to the voices they heard while passing by without thinking much.

“Evan Block?! Are they going to shoot Shadowman 2?!”

In front of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir, the largest area in Central Park, the cameramen of Shadowman 2 are gathered.

The staff installed several tents to block the sunlight while waiting for the shooting to start. In comparison, the electrical staff installed the large cameras and lights.

There were two people sitting on the first installed tent.

Tourists who came to New York from various countries unknowingly lowered their voices to let the two people read the script in peace.

They were Evan Block and William.

“William, he had grown up a lot.”

“The Shadowman film was released a year ago, and also kids grow up in the blink of an eye.”

“Wow! The first movie was really heartbreaking becak then. I’m looking forward to how it will turn out on Shadowman 2.”

Some staff ran toward the tent where the two people were sitting. Soon, the two people got up from their seats.

“They’re starting to shoot now.”

Filming for Shadowman 2 has finally begun.

Seojun, who just changed his clothes and finished his makeup, appeared. Evan Block was already finished readying himself and was already reading a book while sitting on the chair.

“Jun. I think you’re taller than before.”

When asked by Evan Block, Seojun sat in a chair and showed him his shoes off. They were slightly bigger than regular sneakers.

“My arms and legs are long, and my proportion is good, but they still wanted me to be a little taller. The insoles of these shoes are 4cm. It’s soft and comfortable to wear. Because I grew taller and had my bangs back, my young self from the first film isn’t noticeable anymore.”

Back then, William was a cute and lovely boy with light blue clothes. But now he was wearing black clothes and makeup, making him a little pale. It was very different from the first William.

“What about your father?”

“He is working.”

Lee Min-Joon was sitting next to Evan Block’s manager, talking on the phone. He didn’t forget to wave when he made eye contact with Seojun from time to time.

“Evan! Jun!”

Jonathan, who is now a high school student, was still helping Ryan Will to film.

‘Is Jonathan not studying at all?’ Seojun wondered when he saw Jonathan running towards them.

“We’re going to start the rehearsals soon.”

“Really?”

“Okay.”

Evan Block and Seojun stood up from their seats. At the same time, cheers came from the mouths of the people watching.

Unlike when they were sitting down, they could see the two actors standing up in just one glance.

In particular, their whole attention was focused on Seojun.

-Shadowman and William are here at Central Park. I look forward to the release of Shadowman 2!

-William has really grown up! How many years has it been?

-William grew up a lot. What did he eat to grow that big?

News from the United States is also trending in Korea. There was even News written by the Local Media.

[Shadowman 2 in Central Park]

[Shadowman 2 shooting begins!]

[How tall is actor Lee Seojun?]

[Is this the average height of the kids nowadays? Or is it less than that? How to grow taller!]

-Wow, I guess they are filming now.

-If you look at the angel picture, he seemed to be a hero rather than a villain.

JH: He really grew up a lot! But just looking at the baby’s mukbang, I thought, ‘If he eats that well, It’s no wonder he grew up that tall.’

The main shooting has begun.

Seojun searched the library. There were many lives in the library.

He needed to find an appropriate ability for this shooting.

They are many terrifying abilities. Even so, Seojun didn’t take any bead at random.

‘But I’m glad I found the right one.’

In this shoot, he was going to use [(First) Baron Cat’s Elegant Step – Lower level]

Elegant steps and posture will be ingrained in his body.

By using this ability, he can do the right posture without even thinking.

The baron cat was the first baron born as a cat.

It was a pet of a noblewoman who taught etiquette, and she taught her cat as a joke. But the queen applauded the cat for its elegant appearance, better than anyone else.

As a result, the cat became a baron due to the queen.

“Let’s start filming!”

Seojun breathed in and out.

William’s life in the script appeared in his mind. He was a nice and kind kid.

He needed to appear good like what Ryan Will said.

[E.L.F’s basic breathing starts]

Light Mana, which was at the source of Seojun, moved vigorously as if he had finally met the world. While the Black Mana snorted and remained still.

“Ready!”

Seojun heard Director Ryan Will’s voice.

[(First) Baron Cat’s Elegant Step – Lower level]

And waiting for the director’s signal,

“Action!”

He immersed himself in the role.

The child is lost.

The child didn’t know where he was right now. For the first time in his life, he was in an unknown place. He looked at the Onassis Reservoir and its surroundings with a puzzled face.

Someone was looking at the child. It was Mac. He was working as a guide for a part-time job at Central Park.

Mac was wearing a guide vest and headed toward the child.

“Little boy.”

The child raised his head to see who was the one talking.

Mac recalled the team leader’s words of bringing lost children to the center if he found. He kneeled, made eye contact with the child, and smiled. He must not let him cry!

“Where are your parents?”

“At home.”

“Do you have a house in Manhattan?”

“No.”

Mac scratched his cheek at the child’s short answer. The child noticed that the adult in front of him showed no sign of leaving. He moved his mouth. A small smile appeared on the pale face of the little boy.

“My family is coming. You can leave now.”

“When will they come here?”

The child looked through his memories. ‘I’ll pick you up when the sun goes down.’

He remembered the voice of the only woman he relied on.

Looking at the child’s behavior lost in his thoughts, he could see that each of the child’s gestures was elegant.

“When the sun goes down…”

“Oh!”

Mac turned on his cell phone and looked at the weather.

Here, in September, the sun did not set until 7 p.m., and the time now is 1 p.m., where the sun was floating right above their heads.

“You have to wait for another 6 hours”.

He could see the anxiousness over the child’s face. 6 hours. That’s too long.

Mac smiled and turned on the walkie-talkie and contacted his team leader. He spoke quietly so that the child would not hear him.

“There’s a lost child here.”

-Lost child? Bring him to the center.

“Rather than the center…Can I play with him? He didn’t seem to want to leave Central Park.”

-You? Why?

“His family says they’ll pick him up at 7 o’clock, but it would be frustrating to stay at the center for six hours.”

-Okay… your part-time job hours will end in just a few minutes anyway.

-Till 7 o’clock? Okay? Send the vest and walkie-talkie back to the center after your shift.

“Thank you!”

Mac ran toward the child with a smile.

“Do you want to hang out with me until 7?”

The child, who was lost in thought for a while, nodded gently.

“Cut! Okay!”

They heard Ryan Will’s voice.

When the camera stopped rolling, Seojun quickly jumped twice with his feet to shake off his excitement.

The good atmosphere quickly became normal.

Evan Block, who saw the difference right in front of him, opened his eyes wide. It was Evan Block who believed that small actions and habits created the person’s atmosphere. So I used to analyze people more and add details to the acting.

But Seojun Lee was different. Even though he looked like standing in the same place, the atmosphere around him quickly changed as if he had turned on and off the switch.

‘Is this his talent?’ Now, there is another thing he could use for his notebook to analyzed Seojun. Evan Block grinned.

One of the tourists watching the shooting between the two actors whispered to his friend to not disturb the filming.

“I think I’ve seen him somewhere.”

“I know…”

The face of the child smiling brightly passed by Emma’s head, who was having difficulties recalling her memory.

“The picture you sent me!”

“What?”

Emma’s friend searched through her memory to which she was referring. It was a picture floating on the Internet, so she didn’t know who the child was in the picture. Her friend, who was looking at Seojun, soon noticed it.

He is kind and sweet, just like the picture.

“I think it’s really him.”

“Wow.”

Emma held her hands tightly. She wanted to say thank you if they could meet someday.

Now it was time to film scenes where the child and Mac became close as they walked around inside Central Park.

“Do you want to play?”

“I like it!”

When Mac threw the ball at the baseball stadium in Central Park, the child hit a light hit it with a baseball bat.

Mac, no, Evan Block admired him sincerely. Baseball enthusiasts applauded sincerely after the shoot and said, “It was a perfect hit. It would have been a home run if he had more strength.”
