Rebirth: King To Superstar Chapter 118

As both of them made their way towards the rooms at the end of the same building, Joon-won asked Hea-Jung, "What kind of person is this director?" It was best to know more about the man who is the captain of the movie better so that he knows what to expect.
Hea-Jung paused for a second and thought about how she should answer the question. After all, he was the boss in the film. All the thinking messed with her as she just whipped her hair and said, "He is a complete Jerk. A complete jerk. I'm so unlucky to have him as my first director, well now the same goes for you too, so it's good I guess. That guy never admits his mistake. Now see if you act well, it means I won the bet, but he won't agree and just tries to change the topic. Just try to pull through his bullshit boasting and keep a smile when he does it. You are lucky that you have a small role and don't need to keep up with him for long. By the current pace of shooting, it looks like I need to keep up with him for at least 2 more months." And sighed like an old lady continuously while massaging her forehead.
Joon-won nodded and didn't reply to her long monologue. He just decided to remain silent on set and nod like a robot for this one week. He didn't want his first film experience to go wrong just because of a bad director. He'll do his work and go away quietly. After walking for a while they finally made it to the rest rooms of the crew and actors.
They stopped before the room which had the director tapped on the door. Hea-Jung looked at Joon-won and said, "You ready? We must attain victory over him. Do your best."
Joon-won's face changed a little when he heard her and replied, "Why are you making this seem like some war? We are only meeting one person. Let's just go and get done with it." Hea-Jung just nodded with a determined face and knocked on the door. After a while, they heard a rough voice asking them to come in.
Hea-Jung was the first to enter and as soon as she did the middle-aged guy in the middle who looked more like a caveman than a normal civilian said with the same rough voice they heard earlier, "Ah! Hea-Jung, I heard your little friend is here. Did you bring him? I can't wait to cut your pay. Don't go back on your words, alright?" And laughed after that.

Joon-won soon entered and got a clear view of the man. He really looked like a caveman with his huge beard and mustache. It seemed like he hadn't trimmed or even paid any attention to it for years. Joon-won almost frowned upon seeing the state of the person in charge of the place. He preferred people who paid at least some minimal attention to themselves and looked a bit presentable. He also saw a few people sitting along with the director.
"Ah! Director, I should be saying that to you. You will be so stunned that you would regret not auditioning my junior for the hero role." And Hea-Jung wasn't someone who held back at all. Joon-won, who was right behind her, wanted to smack her right on the head. He just told her to not be reckless and think before she spoke, but that girl is indirectly taking shots at the main lead behind his back. So many misunderstandings could sprout from that one sentence.
But he can't just hit her in front of all these people and so he just tugged her dress at the back, giving her a signal to hold back a little. Sensing his action, Hea-Jung quickly changed the subject, too. She didn't want to face the angry Joon-won as Han Ju did too.
"Anyway, director. This is my junior. The same guy I showed you in those dramas yesterday. His name is Kim Joon-won. I came to introduce him." Moving aside and presenting Joon-won like he was a product.
Joon-won smiled and introduced himself once again with a small bow. The director looked at him from top to bottom and nodded.
"His looks are alright. Well, let's see if this junior of yours can make a debut in this film like you are tonight. I'll ask one of the staff members to show him the location of tonight's shoot so he has a feel for it since it's his first time." Joon-won's lips twitched a little when he heard the first sentence. Since the day he came into the body, he knew his looks were rather on the downside but he can't do much about that.
Hea-Jung nodded and said, "Alright then Director. Seems like you guys are a little busy right now. We both will get going. You can ask the staff member to come to my rest room, he will be staying with me till then. Alright then, I'll take my leave, I also need to prepare for my next shoot." She bowed a little and went out of the room. Joon-won did the same and followed her out.

As soon as they got out and walked a few steps, Joon-won knocked her head from the back. Hea-Jung immediately turned around while holding her head like a wronged puppy.
"Why are you so impulsive? I just asked you to tone it down a little and there you go again, being reckless in front of the man who is the leader of this entire film." He shook his head while sighing.
Hea-Jung just popped her tongue out and said, "It's alright. That guy is too much if I remain silent and there is no way he can do anything to me, either. I mean, we are already halfway done with the film and so he can't fire me. And he is too small of a director in the circle for anyone to listen to him speak badly about me. So don't worry, I know who to be careful with and this guy isn't one of them."
Joon-won just shook his head and followed her to her rest room. All the main actors had their own rooms and Hea-Jung's character was right behind the two main leads when it came to importance. The room was simple. There was one bed, a couch, a TV, and a coffee table. There was also a bathroom if the actor wanted to take a bath before or after the shoot. It was a small and comfortable place to rest, with even an AC for them in the hot summer. Overall, it was a standard room the reception hall gives the families.
"So, how is the room? This is what you get if you are playing an important character in the film. Impressive right?" once again feeling proud for the role she managed to snag. Joon-won just nodded and took a seat on the couch. He noticed the script scattered on the coffee table and turned towards Hea-Jung, who fell flat on the bed with a smile.
"So, when is your shoot now? Don't you have to prepare or revise your dialogues? You are just wasting your time right now. Prepare a bit. I never saw you act before." He looked like a devil to Hea-Jung as she slowly stood up and grumbled a little.
"Can I deny? I mean, I already know all the dialogues and practiced a little too. I'm sure I am fine. I wanted to get some sleep before I needed to get ready for the shoot. My shoot is not going to start for another 2 hours or maybe even more. There is another shoot before mine between the two leads. They'll come and inform me."
Joon-won shook his head and said she had to do it. He would not have forced her if he knew how she would act, but he didn't. He only knew the idiotic side of her, the side which was reckless and free. He wanted to know if she was able to keep up with her words through her acting. If she only knew how to talk, then he would slowly distance himself without a question. He didn't want brainless people who only knew how to talk around him at all.
Hea-Jung cursed under her breath a little before she went to the coffee table and flipped her script a little before handing it to him while pointing at one of the scenes. It was the scene she had to perform in a little while. Joon-won looked at the detailed script and was impressed once again. A film script looked completely different from a drama one, it was more detailed and easier to understand. He looked at Hea-Jung and asked her to start.
Hea-Jung took a deep breath and started to act out her character. Joon-won kept silent the entire time and as she was done, he had an eyebrow raised.
"You are actually quite good. No wonder you can talk big." This compliment made her get horns once again as she laughed with pride.
