Superstar From Age 0

Chapter 436:

-Lol, Moviegoer is summoned!

-Moviegoer!

-I never thought I would see him like this…

Moviegoer was as nervous as the viewers who were surprised by the sudden review broadcast.

He scratched his chin and nodded.

“Yes, I didn\'t expect to start a broadcast so suddenly either, but I thought this movie was worth reviewing. It\'s also very popular right now.”

-There were a lot of articles about it.

-It rose up in the 22 Plus ranking.

-It\'s also climbing up in the foreign ranking.

-When you see this, you realize how much influence Lee Seo-jun has on the public.

-22 It\'s amazing that it\'s not just in Korea.

-As expected of Lee Seo-jun…!

Moviegoer nodded.

“That\'s right. If I were to compare it to music, it would be like a cover song? A famous singer covering a song often makes the original song popular too, but it\'s very rare for actors to do that.”

-If actors cover something… isn\'t it just a remake?

-Lol

-It\'s definitely harder to make a video than to sing a song. You need a lot of money and time.

-But even if they remake something, they don\'t look for the original, do they?

-22 I just watch the remake with better quality.

-But what if the remake version is a flop?

-The original fans will curse them lol

“Cases where people look for the original are… maybe when they remake a foreign work or export our work to a foreign country and remake it there. It\'s rare to shoot a video that\'s only two minutes long and make the original so popular with that video.”

-I never thought I would watch an American indie film;;;

-22 Me too.

“I\'ve reviewed some indie films that were popular at film festivals, but this is the first time I\'ve seen this movie. I don\'t know how Lee Seo-jun found this kind of movie. I should reflect on myself. I thought I looked for a lot of works.”

The viewers laughed as they mentioned a fact that was well known from the articles.

-The director is Jonathan Will!

-Ryan Will\'s nephew!

-The talent for directing runs in their blood.

“Yes, it turned out that the director knew Lee Seo-jun. The director of the Shadowman series, ryan Will, is his uncle. Jonathan Will directed the indie film ‘In the Name of God’. He was also a staff member since Shadowman 1. He was in middle school then.”

-Wow.

-What did I do when I was in middle school (far away)

-Then he must have seen Seo-jun since his debut!

Moviegoer showed some articles in English on the monitor. Some parts were highlighted in fluorescent colors.

“I looked up some related materials and found out that Jonathan was the youngest staff member and did odd jobs. One of them was taking care of child actors. He probably not only saw Lee Seo-jun, but also cared for him.”

-Wow!

-It must be amazing. An extra/staff you met when you were young became a top actor/director like this.

-But the article is from 14 years ago;;;

-Wow… It\'s been that long?? Why is time so fast?

-Now what you think of as 10 years ago is not 10 years ago, but 20 years ago.

-Lol, hit by reality lol

-It hurts so much lol

Moviegoer and the viewers felt the speed of time with their whole bodies as they said, ‘No, that was 20 years ago!?’. Moviegoer opened his mouth.

“Before I start the review, I’ll talk about how I came to watch this movie.”

-Seo-jun\'s Korea National University audition video!

-I was surprised by the sudden notification lol

-I thought it wouldn\'t be uploaded, but it was!

“That\'s right. It felt like I got a surprise gift. And unlike the previous videos, this one had better quality and editing, so I was more immersed in watching it. His acting skills are beyond words.”

-Cool, agreed with Moviegoer.

-I don\'t know how many times I watched it over and over.

-I can\'t watch it at night lol

“You all know this, right? Lee Seo-jun edited the audition video himself.”

-?! Really?

-Yep, it was written in the description.

-Cast: Lee Seo-jun / Editing: Lee Seo-jun lol So funny lol

-Lol But doesn\'t it seem like he didn\'t edit well? It\'s not even the same as the original editing.

Moviegoer nodded.

“It\'s true that it\'s easier to edit a video that only contains one actor\'s performance than other videos, but it was a very cool video. He has a lot of experience, so he knows which part to emphasize and how, and maybe it matched well with what he wanted to highlight in his acting, such as his face, hands, eyes, etc.”

-Yeah, it\'s like actor=director.

-(In Seo-jun\'s head)

Director Seo-jun: Let\'s do it like this here. (Gives complex emotional expression instructions)

Actor Seo-jun: Ah, okay. (Acts in one go)

Director Seo-jun: Okay, cut! (Satisfied)

-Or

Director Seo-jun: Can you do this? (Something that normal actors can\'t do.)

Actor Seo-jun: Yeah, easy. (Piece of cake)

Director Seo-jun: Okay, cut! (Satisfied)

Moviegoer and the viewers laughed.

-Lol If he does this, it won\'t take long to shoot.

“I think he can bring out his acting skills to the fullest because he knows best what kind of role he can play and how.”

-If he can edit too… He said this play was original too, right? Maybe he’ll make a movie in a snap lol

-Cast: Lee Seo-jun / Director: Lee Seo-jun

-(Why did you leave this out?) Investment: Lee Seo-jun

-(This too) Investment company: Plus+

-Lol Plus+ is also working hard these days lol

-A fish that met water lol

-Plus that met Seo-jun lol lol

-That\'s why they can\'t help but invest in Seo-jun.

After laughing for a while, Moviegoer started the review of [In the Name of God].

“In the Name of God is an American indie film that was released four years ago. Jonathan Will won an award at a film festival with this movie and then joined the shooting of Shadowman 3.”

-Oh, I didn\'t know they were connected lol

-It\'s amazing lol

“Unlike commercial movies that can create all kinds of backgrounds and props with a lot of manpower and budget, indie movies are bound to lack everything. Especially if it\'s a rookie director who just debuted. So Jonathan limited the background of the movie to ‘inside a building’ and unfolded the story.”

-We just need a set and a staircase, then.

-I felt like I was trapped too.

-22 So suffocating.

“And the direction is also like that. Unlike other thriller movies, ‘In the Name of God’ doesn\'t show the criminals dying in much detail. Because, if such scenes are shown on the screen, they have to do post-processing to make it look as natural as possible.”

-It costs money.

“If blood splashes on the set, clothes, or props, they have to restore them…”

-It costs money x2

“Yes. It costs money.”

Moviegoer nodded.

“So they tried to avoid depicting it directly as much as possible. I could see that.”

-I thought they were aiming for 15+ rating;;;

-I thought so too lol but it was money issue lol

“Maybe that\'s one of the reasons too. The lack of everything in the production situation and the need to secure the audience led to this brilliant direction.”

-I can feel that the director thought a lot.

Moviegoer opened his mouth in agreement.

“I think so too. Then let\'s look at the content now. The movie starts with 13 people who wake up in an unfamiliar place. Wait a minute. Why 13?”

-Friday the 13th?

-Unlucky number in America?

-The Last Supper, I guess.

“Yes. As you can see from the title, ‘In the Name of God’, this movie has to be interpreted along with the existence of ‘God’. You must have seen the painting of The Last Supper at least once. You must have heard some stories related to it too.”

Moviegoer displayed the painting of The Last Supper on the screen.

There were 13 people sitting around a large table that crossed the picture, with Jesus in the center.

“The Last Supper depicts Jesus and his 11 disciples, and one traitor, Judas, who sold Jesus out. Doesn\'t it seem quite similar to this movie?”

-The culprit is Judas, I guess.

-Wow. Then is the last man who died Jesus? He said he didn\'t commit any sin.

-22 And he threw his clothes alone and interfered with the culprit. So kind.

-That was foreshadowing?!

-Then are the criminals the 11 disciples?

-I thought about it… but there\'s no evidence that they are criminals, right?

-ㅇㅇ I think so too. The culprit just said so, but there was never a statement that it was true.

-…ㅇㅁㅇ!!(shocked)

“Yes. That\'s right. It\'s not clear whether the other 11 people committed crimes or not. Except for the young man who died at the end. Maybe Jake Doble was just an ordinary person with a hasty personality.”

The chat room was stirred by Moviegoer\'s words.

-True. I would be clueless if I was trapped in a place like that.

-Trapped in a strange building, watching people die from traps, and the culprit says ‘I\'m the culprit.’

I would attack him too.

-Wow… then Judas who sold God judged them ‘in the name of God’???

-How ironic.

“And the culprit says this line when he kills the young man.

‘Where is God in this world?’”

-Suddenly his jobㅋㅋ

-Judas(??? years old, job traitor)

“Before this movie was made, America was in an uproar over the crimes of the church. People who claimed to convey God\'s will on the outside committed crimes behind their backs. Just like how the culprit who judged them In the Name of God revealed his true self at the end.”

-I just watched it for fun and the twist… but it\'s profound;;;

-It seems like he was influenced by his uncle.

-22 I think so too. Ryan Will, the director, also made movies related to social issues.

Moviegoer nodded as if he agreed.

“I think he must have been influenced a lot by Ryan Will, the director, since he spent time with him since middle school, or even before that. In terms of skills and the meaning he puts into his works.”

Moviegoer, who was talking about the movie, brought up a new topic.

“We’ve looked at the content of Jonathan Will\'s independent movie, ‘In the Name of God’, which is expected to make more works in the future. Now, let\'s look at the actors. The actor who played the role of ‘the culprit’ that Lee Seo-jun acted with. It\'s Lucas Turner.”

Two pictures of Lucas Turner appeared on the screen. The two pictures had different outfits, but most of the viewers who were watching Moviegoer\'s live knew them.

-I was totally surprised lol

-What, why are you here??

-Phantom is here!

Moviegoer smiled and said.

“Yes. This is how Lucas Turner looked like when he was a rookie. He was good at acting even then.”

-He was a bit different from Seo-jun, but he acted well.

-ㅇㅇ He suited the role.

-But Phantom is…

-22 It\'s fun but a bit disappointing?

-That\'s more of a script problem than an actor problem.

-It broke even. Well, it wasn\'t a hit.

-Will season 2 fail?

Moviegoer tilted his head slightly and frowned.

“It\'s hard to predict the success of a movie, unless it\'s a series work. Even if it costs a lot of money, it doesn\'t always do well. We’ll see what happens when the new hero movie of Marina Studio Season 2 comes out in mid-November.”

-If they\'re planning something like Assemble, there are still many heroes to come out.

-It would be nice to build up slowly and then explode at once.

-But if they only build up, they’ll fail lol

“And at the end of November. One of the most anticipated works of this year will be released. It has a lot of publicity, so you must have seen it once or twice on TV ads or internet ads. I\'m looking forward to it too, since I enjoyed reading the novel.”

-I liked the book too!

-Please stick to the original…!

“I\'m praying too.”

Moviegoer said with a sincere expression and then said his closing remarks. He remembered something.

“Oh, by the way, it\'s college entrance exam in two weeks.”

-Already? Is that so?

-College entrance exam… I don\'t even remember lol

-Are there any high school seniors here??

-Aren\'t they studying?

-…(gasp)

-Hey!?!?

-What are you doing here!? Go study!

-You have 14 days miracle!!

Some viewers cheered for those who hadn\'t given up yet. Moviegoer and other viewers laughed.

“Yes. It\'s not time to give up yet. If you open your book and read even a little bit, that part might come out as a question. Then I hope you all have good results in two weeks.”

-Some comments after watching the behind-the-scenes video:

=It was funny in a strange way lol

=222 Knowing that there was a culprit but not knowing who it was, and Jake Doble who was the only one who knew but thought he would be fine even if he fell into a trap lol

=33 Right lol I thought ‘He\'s not going to die yet…’ lol

-Wow. It was Lucas Turner.

=If you’re not a fan, you wouldn\'t look for his previous works. And it\'s an independent film too.

=But he\'s good at acting.

-But Seo-jun is much better at acting, isn\'t he?

=22 Even without props or clothes or background, he was more impressive.

=I definitely felt more drawn to Seo-jun… but Lucas Turner seemed a bit weak?

=It\'s different in immersion.

-I always feel this way but behind-the-scenes videos are too short and frustrating.

=22 After reading the original work, I want to see Seo-jun acting it.
