Rebirth: King to Superstar

Chapter 151 - Last Scene

Note- 

Guys, the chapters would be late and so probably be a little unedited because I am not at home and am back at residential school only with my phone until December. So bear with the quality a little. Thank you for your cooperation

The improvisation Joon-won was speaking of was her using excessive strength and kicking him down during the shoot. When she dragged him out of the interrogation room, she clutched his arm as if her aim was to completely crush it. Luckily he was able to not make an expression throughout the scene and continue to act. He was shocked and knew she was taking a slight revenge.

But even after that in the other room, there was no part in the script about him getting kicked by her and he knew that came as a surprise to everyone in that room as luckily the actor who played the police chief was able to improvise along by changing his own dialogue a bit to continue. Joon-won knew why she was doing this. He didn't think the girl would be so revengeful for a simple car ride.

Hearing his words and seeing his dark expression, Hea-Jung had no intention of accepting as she just tilted her head and murmured, "I have no clue what you are talking about.. I just thought it would be good at that moment and went along with it. Those actions fit my role very well too. You know, a fiery cop." Shrugging her shoulder as if it was nothing. Joon-won knew he couldn't do anything about it and just decided to remember the moment to take his own revenge on a later day. 

The shooting continued for another few minutes before the director shouted the blissful words for everyone. Joon-won and Hea-Jung made their way towards the director and after a simple talk he sent them away. After changing his clothes, Joon-won went straight to the hotel to rest a bit before preparing for the next scene.

Time passed by and it was already Friday, the day of his last shooting. During the week, Joon-won shot another very insignificant scene on Wednesday. But other than shooting a scene, something else happened on Wednesday. It was the day Yun-hee got her acceptance letter and she finally revealed her University of choice to him and Min-Seok. 

It was a pleasant surprise for both of them as it was actually in Arios City and even more of a surprise was that she was joining the same University Gah Soo goes to, the Arios University Of Commerce. So, it was decided that both of them were going to come on Sunday to Arios city and they were going to stay at the flat. 

Finally it was Friday and was his final day on the set. The film crew already booked him a ticket back to Arios city, early in the morning as he asked them to. He couldn't wait to go back to his home and rest a bit before he had to receive both of them. He woke up early as he had to be at the set very early. The shoot was going to be very long and special. The scene was actually one of the last scenes in the movie, the court scene and he had to stand as a witness.

He quickly got ready before going down to wait for Hea-Jung's car. It didn't take long for the car to arrive as they made their way towards the set. The crew built a small court set inside an empty warehouse and so the shooting was going to happen there. 

Hea-Jung looked at Joon-won and asked, "So, do you want to eat something? It's still early." 

Joon-won glanced at her and replied, "Didn't the crew members tell us that they will provide even breakfast because of the early shooting schedule? Why do you still want to eat outside? Let's just eat there." When he had the option of free food, why would he choose to spend extra money? He already tasted the food there once and knew it was ok, so he had no problem with it.

Hea-Jung just remained silent after hearing him. They soon reached the set and walked inside the warehouse. Joon-won looked around and noticed it really looked like a court. He once again felt the film set designer did a wonderful job before he walked towards the food area. He wanted to quickly get the breakfast done and out of the way. 

After having a quick breakfast with Hea-Jung, they quickly changed into their costumes and got ready with the makeup done. Joon-won noticed his costume was actually a bit more formal than the regular costume he had before. 

Joon-won sat down and went through his script as there was still over an hour till the given time for the shooting to start. Eventually the rest of the actors came and got ready for the shoot. Joon-won looked around and saw how there were many people hired to act in the background. As the scene could be considered the finale he even noticed how meticulous everyone was, especially the director as he was constantly giving out directions to various people at once.

The other 4 main actors came and sat near him and Hea-Jung as U-Hyun asked him, "Joon-won, this is going to be your last day on set right?" Everyone was also looking at him for an answer. Over the week, they became a bit closer as the seniors even called him on a first-name basis. 

Joon-won looked at all of them and said while nodding his head, "Yes, Hyun-Sunbae. This is my last scene in this film so, I'm going back to Arios tomorrow early morning. It was nice meeting all of you. Thank you for guiding me during this time." While bowing a little. He was happy that the people involved in his first film were all kind and that the shooting went without any problem for him. They actually took care of him quite well and so everything was fine and they were at acquaintance level from stranger level.

Chea-Young, "You are leaving tomorrow early morning? Why that early? You should at least stay until monday. We can go out for lunch or dinner. Treat it as a gift from us." And the rest also nodded agreeing to his idea. 

But Joon-won could only shake his head and say, "I can't do that Sunbae. My father and sister are coming to the city on Sunday and they can only stay at my flat. So, I need to go tomorrow. But I'm very thankful for the thought." Hearing him everyone sighed as Chea-Young patted his shoulder. 

Ham Mun-hee also sighed and said, "Well then, it was a pleasure to work with you, Joon-won. I wish you much more success in your journey in this industry. Let's hope we get another chance to act again in the future." 

"Yes, Let's act again in the future."

"When I come to Arios city, you should treat me, Joon-won." 

"Best of luck for you, Joon-won." 

The rest also gave their comments before everyone in the group returned to their script. It was a long scene and so the director hoped for less takes to get it done before lunch. 

The scene was simple. It was the government trying to prove the villain was the main culprit. Together with evidence and witnesses like him. Joon-won only had a handful of dialogues and he had to act mostly scared during the scene. So it was pretty simple for him.

Soon the director called for them and as Joon-won went he noticed there were actually a few other actors and by looking at their costumes it seemed like they were the lawyers in the film. 

"Alright everyone, let's get this done. Let's not take too many takes and be done with it quickly. This is the major scene in the movie and so do it carefully. Got it guys?" And everyone just nodded as he also nodded back before saying, "Alright then, go to your places we'll start in a minute." 

Joon-won took his seat in the audience. It was not his turn until the middle of the scene and so he had to act as the audience looking at the trail until then. The main actors in the scene such as the lawyers, villains and others would also not appear immediately and would rather come in one by one in the scene. So he went and took a seat next to one of the middle-aged background actors. 

He greeted the middle-aged actor before just looking around the set once again. As he was doing that he heard the director's loud shout, alerting everyone on the set.

"ALRIGHT GUYS, LET'S GET OVER THIS AND GO TO AN EARLY LUNCH. NOW, READY! SET! AND ACTION." As the entire set went into silence after that.
