Godsent Top Star [EN]: Chapter 157

157. Can’t We Do More? (2)

2022.04.06.

“Aish. People should date and live their lives. Hmm, a mission? Just tell me what to do? Then, should I introduce you to my niece’s granddaughter?”

Come to think of it, I’ve heard of people who remember actors by their roles after watching a drama or movie and being impressed.

The elder, who was very concerned about Yeon-woo’s love life until the end, patted Yeon-woo’s shoulder after repeated rejections.

And.

“Fate can’t be forced. Just take care of yourself. Okay? Cheer up!”

She left with a warm but ambiguous mission and a stamp of completion.

It was a misunderstanding that equated Yeon-woo with his role, but her thoughtfulness was definitely heartwarming.

Although, there was an awkward feeling because of the staff’s barely concealed laughter…

‘Anyway, let’s think positively, positively… it’s proof that they were that immersed in the movie.’

I’ve never dated anyone before.

I became someone who experienced heartbreak before even dating anyone.

The people who approached Yeon-woo with goodwill continued to come.

A middle-aged couple cautiously approached and said:

“We really enjoyed the movie. Everyone around us is praising it.”

People who live as members of a family rather than as individuals.

People who became mothers and fathers for their families rather than themselves.

It is said that the movie properly awakened the faint memories that had been sleeping deep within them.

“Thanks to that movie, everyone’s relationship has improved. We don’t even need to mention ourselves.”

The husband laughed heartily.

“It was so much fun. It reminded me of my younger days… My husband was jealous, asking if I liked that guy more than him. It’s been a while since I saw him jealous.”

“So, did you hate it?”

“No, I liked it.”

She even said that her husband bought her a hundred roses, thanking her for living with a guy like him.

Behind the wife, who showed the picture as proof, the husband coughed, his face red.

“What can we do about a touching first love that has already passed? The current love is more important. Being faithful to reality is also a way.”

Then, thanks to that, their relationship became so good.

She subtly hinted that they were thinking of having another baby.

Yeon-woo, who suddenly heard about someone’s baby plans, was given a mission by the couple.

“Tell them to grow up well.”

“They will definitely grow up healthy and be born healthy. The mother will also be healthy.”

Yeon-woo ended up wishing for the health of a child who wasn’t even born yet.

[Wow. People are really hitting the jackpot today. Since you spoke with the power of words, that kid will be born really strong.]

As similar incidents continued, the staff watching burst into laughter.

“We keep getting very unique missions in our program’s history.”

“Um… is that a problem?”

“No. It’s actually too good for the story, that’s the problem. If it goes out like this, Yeon-woo’s image will probably improve a lot.”

“I’m not particularly trying to do that, but…”

“I know. That’s why the picture is even better. But how about moving the location a bit? I think it would be good to mix in some general missions too.”

Since everyone was only giving words of blessing and heartwarming missions, they needed a bit of MSG [a Korean slang term for adding something extra or a little spice].

“There are a lot of appealing aspects. Missions like push-ups or squats while carrying someone can appeal to physicality. Missions like buying things, finding things, or running errands can appeal to intelligence. Brainy guys are trending these days.”

As a result of the writers’ observation.

Yeon-woo was not the type to pretend to be someone he wasn’t to look good.

They didn’t have a system like Yeon-woo, but they had been in the broadcasting industry for a long time and had a knack for seeing people.

They could tell whether the person in front of them was putting on an act for the broadcast or not with just a glance.

Perhaps that’s why.

‘I was worried about him abusing his power because he was deliberately inserted, but he’s surprisingly docile. No. He’s too docile…? Compared to the idol who came last time, this is heaven, heaven.’

‘A pretty kid doing pretty things makes me want to take care of him more.’

‘He’s the real deal. The real deal. It’s been a while since a new unicorn [a rare and valuable talent] has appeared.’

He’s just a toddler taking his first steps, yet he bravely keeps his promise to a senior who has been in this industry for a long time.

Every word he says is softer and kinder than expected.

He seems indifferent at first glance, but you can feel that he is more attentive and delicately cares for people than he appears.

This program was a real variety show without a script, so all sorts of people gathered to launder their image.

-Ah, damn it. They’re giving me such crappy missions.

-Are you crazy? Why are you making me do that?

-Give me more stylish missions instead of that childish stuff.

There were more than a few who came to do this and spewed out such nonsense.

There were countless people who were different when the camera was rolling and when it wasn’t.

There were also many who unleashed their true colors before the citizens who had recognized them and approached them could even leave.

But.

‘He’s natural.’

‘We have to protect the natural ones.’

‘It’s been a while since we filmed something heartwarming, so my heart is also warm.’

The writers felt genuine joy for the first time in a long time.

They had always separated their personal feelings from their work, but this time they were of one mind.

Let’s carefully refine and nurture this precious natural monument!

“Should we? Do you have a place in mind?”

Look at this.

-Ah, let’s go wherever I want to go.

-I have a place that I’ve already scouted. Let’s go there.

How different is he from the guys who spewed out such nonsense!

He’s not asking because he doesn’t know where to go.

He was asking out of consideration for where this large group could go with relatively less fatigue and difficulty.

“I think it would be okay to go to a more crowded place.”

“Then wouldn’t it be difficult for you to proceed? I’m fine with the way it is now.”

No.

We’re not okay.

We can’t make you stand out more!

“It’s okay. It’s what I always do. Let’s keep doing missions while going to the main street. Diversity is important too.”

“Yes. I understand.”

How can he listen so well?

The staff’s eyes were increasingly filled with affection.

Such a considerate, kind, and attentive performer!

How many people in this industry don’t know anything and just act out when things don’t go their way?

He’s clearly more of a veteran than they are.

There are always celebrities who think their pride is hurt if they listen to the staff.

The lack of a script was an advantage, but it was also a disadvantage in these situations.

Because there were quite a few guys who tried to take control and do whatever they wanted since there was no script.

“Ah. Would it be okay to take a break?”

“Huh? Are you tired, Yeon-woo?”

Of course, there were also stars who ordered all sorts of coffee and drinks, saying they were tired after moving just a little bit.

I didn’t think the pretty boy in front of me would be like that, but I cautiously asked back.

“I thought the person in charge of the camera might be tired.”

One close-up camera and one sub-camera closely following Yeon-woo.

And up to one main camera.

It was a very small number for a variety show, but it was reduced to the bare minimum for the sake of the realism that the program was pursuing.

That way, the sense of reality would come out realistically.

They said that it would feel threatening enough to the general public if microphones, reflectors, and lights followed them, so they reduced it to a minimum.

Anyway, additional support is sometimes provided when needed, but there are currently three cameras here.

“Cameras are very heavy, aren’t they?”

Of course, the cameras used for filming are not compact and cute sizes.

The weight varies depending on the model used, but you can assume that it easily exceeds at least a few kilograms.

Weight is one thing, but how difficult is the posture?

A posture where the body moves like a chicken’s head, but the camera is fixed.

It can’t be easy.

“Um… I’m okay…?”

“He hasn’t been able to rest since earlier.”

At least Yeon-woo and the other staff were able to rest in comfortable positions while keeping their promise with Yeon Do-hee.

However, the camera was working hard as if it would capture every single scene.

As more and more people recognized them, there was even less time to rest.

“Yeon-woo. It’s okay, so you don’t have to worry about those people.”

The writer smiled and swallowed those words.

There were, of course, people who diligently rolled the staff until they got the picture they wanted if they didn’t like it because it was so real.

Even ordinary people get tired if they work straight for several hours outside.

How much more would someone who is carrying heavy things and running around?

The warm words that considered them made the already warm atmosphere even softer.

‘This episode will really turn out well.’

I heard that the atmosphere on the other team was also very good.

They are truly a harmless couple.

‘I’m going to have fun editing for the first time in a long time.’

If you get weird stars, filming is painful, but editing is also painful.

Even though it’s a variety show that pursues extreme reality, there is a maximum limit.

‘If this goes out, we’re screwed!’

At least a lawsuit.

At most, media play followed by burial.

-Thank you for your hard work. Um… I hope there won’t be anything that will make things difficult for each other. You know S from our company, right? He’s playing the lead role in the Q3 drama produced by your company this time. We’ll keep seeing each other… please take good care of him.

Even if they say it with a smile, the content is a threat when you open it up.

There are so many intertwined interests that you can’t stand alone.

What can I do?

It’s unfair, but I can’t let the program be canceled and cut off my livelihood.

If content that damages the image is released, it’s the broadcasting station, or rather, the staff, who get a headache, so they package it as much as possible.

Of course, if there are really nasty guys, they put their resentment into the subtitles and feed them back without being obvious.

If you’re quick-witted,

-Huh? Does he seem a bit off?

Only to the extent that you can notice it very timidly and carefully.

Well, those guys usually self-destruct before long.

Compared to those guys, the pretty boy who worries about the staff is an angel, an angel.

“First of all, there’s a main street over there, so shall we move in that direction?”

The move started again.

As they headed towards the main street as the staff said, there were more and more people.

“Huh…?”

“Crazy. Isn’t that him?”

“Hey, hey. Call Hye-sun quickly! She likes him so much!”

As more and more people recognized him, the staff’s mood seemed to rise more and more.

Come on, recognize this young man who is so handsome and thoughtful!

As more and more people approached, a sense of inexplicable pride filled their hearts.

However.

Yeon-woo was a little different.

‘Is it because it’s an intersection? It’s so crowded.’

It wasn’t just people who were approaching.

The dead, unaware that they were dead, were also passing by Yeon-woo as they circled the intersection.

Most of them were harmless dead, but.

[Huh? Yeon-woo, there’s a pretty big one over there?]

There was also a demon among them.

Just let me catch one.

One demon was glaring around with black eyes, looking for such an opportunity.

At its feet, a coin was shining.
