Chapter 113
A possible cao appearance?
After changing their makeup, hair, and clothes in the powder room, Awi headed to the waiting room that was prepared for them on one side of the filming set.
“Wow, what is this?”
“We prepared this for you in case you get hungry while filming.”
“Thank you. This is our first ti experiencing sothing like this.”
A soft sofa and catering from the advertiser were emitting a presence under the dim light.
“There are drinks in the fridge too, so help yourselves.”
“Aweso. Thank you.”
And on the table, there were costics that they were going to advertise, along with flowers and plants that were placed cutely.
Awi, who was doing a big company’s advertisent for the first ti, stared at the waiting room with their mouth open. Ian picked up his phone.
“Can I take a picture of this?”
“Yes, but you can’t post it anywhere until the advertisent is released.”
“Got it.”
There was also a behind-the-scenes cara that took pictures of the mbers taking pictures.
The employees from the costics company smiled contentedly.
They didn’t expect them to be so happy about it.
“As expected, big companies are different.”
“I asked my sister and she said it’s a famous brand.”
Park Jin-hyuk stuffed a canape into his mouth.
On the wall, there were large pouches with each mber’s na on them.
They were gifts for the mbers.
“We have to work hard.”
“So how do we make a moist and refreshing expression?”
“Like this?”
Ian and Jo Tae-woong, Awi’s representative acting mbers, changed their expressions right away.
The other mbers exclaid in admiration.
“As expected, those who have done acting are different.”
“Just do it like we do on stage. It’s not hard. We’ve done a lot of photo shoots too.”
Ian skimd through the advertisent script from beginning to end.
The products that they had to advertise were basic skincare items, such as foam cleansing and lotion.
They had no choice but to wear masks because of the situation, so they decided to focus on the basic skincare line rather than color costics.
“We’re wearing masks these days, right? It’s stuffy and sweaty, but we can’t take them off.”
“Right. And when we co ho and take off our masks and wash our faces, it’ll feel refreshing, right?”
“I heard that so people get sothing on their face from wearing masks too often. Maybe that’s why we’re doing this product?”
“Right. If we think about that and empathize with it, it’ll be easy.”
Jo Tae-woong chid in from the side. Park Seo-dam and Kim Hyun had a srized look in their eyes as they listened to his captivating speech.
“I think those guys can sell anything well.”
“What if they weren’t idols? Would they have beco scamrs?”
“Hey, scamrs are too much.”
While the other mbers nodded as if they understood, Park Jin-hyuk looked confused. Ian and Jo Tae-woong gave him so extra lessons on his side.
“You know we spray hairspray, right? Imagine how it feels to wash it off.”
“Oh, I think I get it.”
Park Jin-hyuk had done many photo shoots, but he was far from being fresh.
“We’ll start filming soon.”
“Okay.”
“You’ve all seen the script, right? Just film comfortably as if you’re at your dorm.”
The first thing was a group photo.
The Awi mbers took the products from the staff and went up to the stage to pose.
“They’re all handso people. It’ll be fun to shoot them.”
The photographer lifted his cara. As he pressed the shutter, the mbers changed their poses here and there.
“They’re all good-looking.”
“Look at Choi Ian’s skin. There won’t be much to edit.”
“That’s natural talent, right? Even if he got special care, it wouldn’t be like this.”
The costics company officials who ca to watch Awi’s advertisent filming looked at the photos on the monitor with satisfaction.
“I don’t think there’s anything to throw away. What do you think?”
“Great! Let’s take individual photos!”
They started taking individual photos of the mbers.
The first one was Park Seo-dam.
He followed Ian’s advice and made a V-line by pressing the product against his cheek with both hands.
The photographer praised him and clicked away.
“Our maknae is doing well.”
“Is Seo-dam a sponge these days? He absorbs everything so quickly.”
The mbers gave him a thumbs up as they watched his filming. Park Seo-dam laughed out loud at that sight. The photographer didn’t miss that expression.
“That expression was very good!”
Park Seo-dam’s individual filming ended, and it was finally Park Jin-hyuk’s turn. He posed with the foam cleansing in his hand. Lee Ju-hyuk opened his mouth.
“Wow…”
Park Jin-hyuk’s expression looked more suitable for a beer advertisent than a costic one. Ian tilted his head.
“That hyung looks too cheerful.”
“Ah, I like it!”
…Good? Ian and Kim Joo-young looked at the photographer. He was pressing the shutter continuously with a satisfied face.
“Isn’t he just saying that everything we do is good?”
“Maybe.”
Lee Joo-hyuk and Kim Hyun smiled awkwardly. Then, the shooting of the other mbers continued, and the last one was Ian.
The costic company staffs were watching their shooting scene from a distance. When Ian’s photos filled the monitor, they exclaid.
“Choi Ian, the cara can’t capture his real beauty. He asked
if he could take a picture earlier, and I was so nervous that I don’t even rember what I said.”
“Isn’t his attitude good too?”
“They are all rumored to have good personalities.”
“They look close to each other too… They are different from other models.”
As the atmosphere slowly turned into gossip, the staff with the highest seniority among them shushed, putting his index finger on his mouth.
“This is not sothing to talk about here.”
“But, it’s true. They beco famous and act rude. The agency interferes too much. They say this ad is not allowed. That ad is not allowed.”
“They are in a position where they can get star disease.”
At that remark, all the staffs nodded in agreent. After finishing their individual photos, Awi rushed to the monitor.
“Wow, Jin-hyuk hyung looked like he was shooting a beer ad earlier, but now he looks pretty good.”
“It’s the photographer’s skill.”
The photographer who was flipping through the photos with them raised his eyebrows.
He looked secretly pleased.
“Look at Ian and Tae-woong. They are amazing.”
“Which one?”
“This one.”
The photographer clicked the mouse. On the large monitor, Ian’s photo appeared, with bubbles on his nose and a wrinkled nose and a smile.
“Wow.”
The mbers gasped in admiration. The cara that was shooting the behind-the-scenes captured them busy.
Looking at Awi mbers who were staring at the photos seriously, one of the company staffs muttered.
“…I hope they don’t get star disease.”
***
Awi finished their YouTube ad video in no ti and finished their shooting earlier than usual.
They took selfies with the company staffs, photographer, and crew mbers and headed to the van.
“Did we get too many costics?”
“I’ll use them until next year.”
Awi checked the items in their pouches as they boarded the van. Ian fastened his seat belt and turned on his phone to check the piled-up ssages.
“Huh?”
As he scrolled down a bit, a familiar person contacted him after a long ti.
(Kim Young-hyun) Ian – 15:04
(Kim Young-hyun) Can you do a cao appearance? – 15:06
****
Kim Young-hyun finished a scene and went to monitor his acting next to the director.
The role he played was a young and passionate detective.
“Good job. Let’s end this scene here. You worked hard.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
With a short nod from the director, today’s shooting was over.
As the staffs cleaned up the scene, Kim Young-hyun bowed to the director and staffs and headed to the van.
“Excuse , Young-hyun.”
“Yes!”
The director stopped him. He rubbed his nose awkwardly with his index finger and asked Kim Young-hyun.
“You know there’s a scene next week where you go to a mansion, right? The part where the spoiled chaebol third generation appears.”
“Yes.”
“Do you have any friends who can do a cao appearance for this chaebol third generation?”
“A cao appearance?”
“Yeah, I had already casted soone but he said he couldn’t do it. Do you have any idol friends?”
“Just a mont.”
Kim Young-hyun took out his phone and looked through his contacts. The director looked at Kim Young-hyun’s phone screen with an expectant expression.
“How about him?”
Kim Young-hyun showed him a talk profile of soone. He was an idol-turned-actor with a similar career as him.
“Oh him, I know him. He’s okay but…”
“Don’t you like him?”
The director frowned slightly on one side of his eyes. The person Kim Young-hyun recomnded looked too old to play the role of a spoiled chaebol third generation.
“How about soone younger? They must have more free ti these days because of COVID-19.”
“That’s true.”
Kim Young-hyun nodded listlessly and scrolled down.
A familiar na caught the director’s eye.
He asked casually with a sparkle in his eyes.
“Young-hyun, are you close with Awi too?”
“We’re close. We were in the sa agency.”
“What about Choi Ian? How is he?”
“Ian? He should be fine. I’ll ask him.”
“You have good connections, Young-hyun.”
The director had a hidden intention behind his words.
Ian’s stock was quite high among the acting-related people, thanks to his short cao and one-act play appearances.
He was one of the rare actors in his twenties who had a good personality and acting skills.
He was also ntioned as ‘a promising rookie actor to watch out for in his twenties’.
As Awi’s popularity increased, he received many offers for lead roles.
‘He? He’s polite, kind, and good at acting.’
‘He has a unique interpretation of his roles and a strong presence in his short scenes.’
‘I sent him many scripts, but he turned
down because of his world tour. He was perfect for the role, what a sha.’
The favorable reviews from the directors and writers who worked with Ian also helped.
And when Eiwon’s Yeon-joon Seo, who was from the sa idol group and of similar age as Ian, took the lead role and beca a hot topic for his terrible acting, Ian beca a comparison point.
‘It would have been perfect if Choi Ian did it instead of Yeon-joon Seo. He refused because he wanted to focus on his group activities.’
‘Isn’t it ti for him to do so solo activities?’
Ian had received many casting offers until then. But his agency had politely declined them.
It might sound like a spoiled complaint, but they were worried that Ian would stand out too much in the group activities that were going well.
‘Ian, do you want to act? You got a lot of roles.’
‘I want to prioritize group activities for now. I can do it later when I have so ti off.’
And just in case, they asked Ian’s opinion, but he also refused the offers, saying that he wanted to focus on his group activities.
‘Do you know what Young-hyun is doing now?’
[I don’t rember well, but I think he was in a TVM drama or sothing?]
Ian asked Park Dong-soo, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
“Dong-soo hyung, I got an offer to do a cao in Young-hyun hyung’s drama. Can I do it?”
“Of course you should if it’s Young-hyun hyung.”
“Don’t forget the beef.”
The mbers cheered. Kim Joo-young, who was sitting behind Ian, also patted his back.
Park Dong-soo turned around with his ears plugged from the loud noise.
“Do you want to do it too?”
“Of course, it’s Young-hyun hyung.”
“Um, can you ask them to send
the schedule first?”
(Ian4) Possible possible – 15:14
(Ian4) Hyung Dong-soo hyung asked
to send him the schedule – 15:14
“He said he can do it. He asked
to tell him the schedule. Should I give him Awi’s manager hyung’s contact?”
“Wow, great.”
Yes! The director clenched his fist secretly.
