Superstar From Age 0

Chapter 254

By the way, Jun. How is the play preparation going?

At Rachel Hills question, Evan Block, Director Ryan, and Swallen Annum also perked up their ears.

All four of them had heard about the play from Seo-jun. 

Two weeks ago, they had read the script of Mirror, which Seo-jun had translated himself. 

The translation was not that hard, since he planned to add English subtitles when he uploaded the video on YouTube.

Yes. But I have an exam in October. The kids who are practicing with me are also worried about the exam, so were only doing readings for now.

Exam?

Its a high school entrance exam. Its an art school, so they have to take an acting test too.

Oh, right. The role started from the audition video, right?

Seo-jun nodded at Evan Blocks words.

Yes. But from November, Ill be able to focus only on the play.

I wish it was December already!

All four of them looked forward to Seo-juns second play.

As they waited while talking, a loud bang went off. A cheer came from the audience and the WTV Film Festival began.

The WTV Film Festival started with a performance by the most famous band of the year.

The drums pounded hard, the vocals were heavy, the guitars were flashy, and the bass was solid. 

Along with them, colorful fireworks burst from all sides and firecrackers exploded. 

Seo-jun watched the performance with enthusiasm, just like he did eight years ago.

The amazing performance ended and the MC grabbed the microphone. 

Surprisingly, it was the same MC as eight years ago.

As he waited for the audience to calm down, he looked around and turned his gaze to the Shadowman team. 

As his eyes met Seo-juns, he smiled brightly.

He didnt know if WTV had deliberately called him, but he clearly remembered the first start of Superstar eight years ago.

As if he sensed the MCs friendly feelings, Seo-jun waved his hand and the MC continued with a grin. 

The two of them were broadcasted live.

-He aimed for it. He aimed for it lol

-WTV is awesome lol

-Seo-jun looks like he hasnt changed at all since eight years ago haha

The MC briefly introduced the WTV Film Festival and announced the names of the winners one by one.

The most charming actress award of this year!

Behind the stage, a screen showed Rachel Hill and other actresses faces. The audience shouted out their roles. The loudest name was Bel Natra.

Rachel Hill!

Seo-jun and the others clapped as Rachel Hill got up from her seat.

Congratulations!

Thank you, Jun!

Rachel Hill went up to the stage with a smile and received a popcorn-shaped trophy and a bouquet of flowers. 

She opened her mouth to say her acceptance speech in front of the microphone.

Its really nice to be called the most charming actress of this year. I hope I can be the most charming actress not only this year but also next year and beyond. It was a fun and happy shooting with the Shadowman team. I want to thank all the fans who voted for me.

Rachel Hills speech ended and a voice came from the audience.

Princess!

Princess Bel!

Rachel Hill smiled and went back to the microphone at that voice. 

She knew that people were speculating that Bel Natra would be Natras next king.

Earthlings. Please take good care of my brother William and Shadowman!

Wow!

Laughter erupted everywhere. 

The WTV Film Festival was light and fun, just like its various and interesting awards.

The Shadowman team greeted Rachel Hill with a smile as she returned with her trophy.

Then what should I say?

I should think about it too.

Evan Block and Seo-jun thought with a smile on their faces.

The laughter died down and the MC opened his mouth.

Dont worry, Princess Bel. William and Muel Natra have become very famous actors. There is no earthling who doesnt like them.

Laughter erupted again.

Next, we will present the best hero award!

The MC took out a card from an envelope and smiled meaningfully.

Well, I thought he was an actor, but his real identity was a superhero! The best hero award!

Evan Block!

The people burst out laughing. Seo-jun, Rachel Hill, and Evan Block also laughed.

-Is he an actor or a superhero lol

-By day an actor, by night a hero?

-He must be busy lol

Evan Block received his trophy and bouquet with a smile on his face that didnt go away.

Everyone. Please dont worry about Bel Natra. Im very happy.

Evan Block smiled and continued.

Its been 10 years since Shadowman Part 1. Im really happy to be able to greet you like this. 10 years. Its a long or short time. I feel the same as then, but our William has grown up.

The camera lens pointed at Seo-jun.

Surprised by being caught on the screen, Seo-jun opened his eyes wide and then smiled brightly and waved his hand.

I dont know what kind of 10 years it was for you, but I was really happy while filming Shadowman. I sincerely hope you enjoyed watching Shadowman too.

Evan Block bowed and applause erupted.

-Ah. It really feels like the end.

-Right. No one is saying to look forward to it.

-But Shadowman and Bel Natra will probably appear in the Assemble series, right?

=22 The one who probably wont appear is William.

-William

Next is the best villain award.

At the MCs words, the audience and the viewers also raised their hands as if they were expecting the award.

Behind the stage, a screen showed five candidates.

Among them, one actors face stood out for being young even after 10 years. 

Maybe it was because the other actors had thick facial features, as befitting the best villain award, that the still young face stood out more.

The MC smiled and opened his mouth.

He was like that eight years ago, but his voting rate is still no joke. Everyone, please give him a round of applause. Eight years ago, at this place, he received the most notable actor award. The young actor has returned. He became an amazing actor as you all paid attention to him, just like the name of the award. The best villain award winner is!

Even before the MC spoke, applause erupted. 

Seo-juns name and Jin Natras name popped up everywhere.

The terrifying villain who tried to destroy both Earth and Natra, Jin Natra played by Seo-jun Lee!

Seo-juns name was called and cheers erupted.

Jin Natra, William, Seo-jun Lee.

People shouted out the names they liked.

Seo Eun Hye and Lee Min Joon, who were sitting in the audience, also clapped with a wide smile and Ahn Da Ho also smiled brightly and took a picture of Seo-juns close-up on the screen and sent it to Cocoa Entertainments president and staff.

Seo-jun went up to the stage with a bright smile.

He was dazed and stunned back then, almost satisfied with one award. But now he was different. 

He was a greedy person who wanted more works, more awards, and more love. 

He hugged the popcorn-shaped trophy and the bouquet of flowers that bloomed brightly.

Hello. Im Seo-jun Lee.

Seo-juns first greeting was in Korean, as his trademark.

Its been eight years since I came up on this stage. The place and the MC are the same, so I feel like Ive gone back to that time. But time has passed and Ive grown a lot. I want to tell you how much I love you, who have loved Shadowman without a break for such a long time.

Cheers and applause rang out.

He was about to turn around and leave after finishing his speech, but he went back to the microphone.

The camera lens captured Seo-jun. 

The audience and the viewers held their breath. 

It seemed like Seo-jun had a message for the earthlings, just like Rachel Hill and Evan Block did.

Seo-jun, no, William smiled brightly.

It was a pure and gentle smile. 

A smile full of happiness. 

A sincere voice.

Please tell my beloved father and Bel. Im happy now. Please tell the reliable Shadowman. Im not lonely anymore.

The award hall was silent for a moment, as if time had stopped.

Ryan Will, the director, Swallen Annum, Evan Block, and Rachel Hill looked surprised and then smiled softly.

This was Williams words.

The young William, who had grown up, was delivering his message.

They thought they would never see it again, but they saw a very short behind-the-scenes of Shadowman, just like a special cookie video. 

The audience who saw it directly and the people who watched the WTV Film Festival exclaimed in awe.

-I didnt expect to see it here.

-He grew up so well.

-This is the real happy ending!

-Seo-juns sense.

-But his acting skills are still amazing;;

-222 He changes in an instant;;

-But isnt this a setting error? Williams memory(nope)

-Lets say its a parallel world.

Seo-jun went down from the stage and the winners of other categories were announced. 

Seo-jun and the Shadowman team also congratulated the actors with applause. 

And finally, the last order came.

The MC took out a card from an envelope and straightened his shoulders.

A little while ago, I didnt expect to see this actors acting with my own eyes. It was a very impressive acting skill that silenced this large award hall in an instant. The Golden Globe and the Academy also praised his acting skills and gave him trophies. We cant miss out on that! The best acting award winner is!

Even before the name was called, applause erupted. Seo-jun Lees name was shouted from the audience. 

The MC shouted loudly with the loud voices.

Seo-jun Lee!

Seo-jun received his second award and headed to the stage. Cheers and applause came from the audience.

Hello. Im Seo-jun Lee.

He opened his mouth to say his second acceptance speech after looking around the award hall for a moment.

I felt it when I entered the award hall today. I cant say please look forward to Shadowman series anymore. When the shooting ended, I might have thought in the back of my mind that we would shoot again in a few years.

The people listened to Seo-juns voice attentively.

My first movie appearance was Shadowman and my first challenge of villain acting was also Shadowman.

It was also because of Shadowman that he opened two libraries that he had never opened at the same time in his long previous lives.

My first award was also Shadowman. It was the most notable actor award that I received here at WTV Film Festival. No one would know how happy and grateful I was.

Really.

It was an award that he finally received after going through many previous lives. 

The people who didnt know his long story would never know how happy Seo-jun and the first life were.

I was really happy while filming Shadowman. It was the most enjoyable movie, a very important movie in my life, and a movie that I will never forget.

The actor, Seo-jun Lee smiled brightly.

I sincerely thank you for loving my most beloved Shadowman.

Seo-jun bowed and applause erupted.

They felt how much he loved Shadowman, loved it, and would love it.

Thats nice. Director.

Yes. Thats nice.

Swallen Annum said and Ryan Will smiled broadly.

They couldnt hate it when the actor they worked with loved the movie so much.
