Superstar From Age 0

Chapter 151

[The public service video One Step from the Fire Department that makes you think a lot!]

[Why didnt the sprinklers work?]

[The reason why the fire trucks couldnt arrive early! Prank calls!]

[Unlike the public service ads, the children who couldnt escape through the emergency exit.]

[I thought it would be only Lee Seo-jun (Na Jin), but this was a public service video.]

[Fire Department Everyone is coming to save you now.]

[Monday evening MBS One Step broadcast!]

-I liked this.

-Yeah, it was good that they showed not only the children evacuating, but also the firefighters.

-Stop making prank calls. They cant get to the places that really need them fast.

-I think they didnt put sprinklers for the worst-case scenario.

=22 There are many old buildings without sprinklers, and many places where they are broken.

=Well, thats true, and also the fact that the children didnt have cell phones, and there was not a single adult.

-But do they need to assume such a worst-case scenario?

=It could happen, right? The accidents that we thought would never happen.

-Emergency exit!!

=Emergency exit!! I was stupid to laugh at them for trying to escape through the window!!

=The emergency exit seems to be a big deal. If its blocked, you cant escape or go to rescue.

=Damn. There are a lot of stuff in front of the emergency exit where I work.

=22 Were locked in.

-Haha, I have to watch it again on MBS.

=Me too. I was so stunned that I dont even remember what I saw haha.

There were stories about the public service video One Step everywhere.

[Title: What I felt after watching One Step]

Honestly, I thought it would be some cartoon characters since it was for children. Since Na Jin was Cheongryong-nim, I thought Cheongryong-nim would appear and teach them emergency tips one by one haha.

I thought I would feel Cheongryong-nims sternness after a long time haha.

But it wasnt.

The ones who were trembling with fear from the fire were ordinary children that you could see anywhere.

It was so realistic that my heart clenched haha.

Anyway, so I naturally thought what if it was me.

It wasnt a huge disaster in a movie, or something with superheroes.

If there was a fire where I went to play, would I be able to try to evacuate like those children?

Could I stay calm?

I thought a lot.

I dont think I would know until I experience it myself.

I roughly understood why the title was One Step.

No one might report it because they think someone else will.

I might miss the golden time because I think I dont have to move aside.

It might be dangerous if I dont do anything because I think someone else will.

Thats what theyre saying.

I have to take one step ahead and report it, I have to take one step ahead and move aside, I have to take one step ahead and avoid the fire and move.

Na Jin took courage first with just one step.

He felt 99 fears but he took courage once.

Even if Na Jin stepped back two steps in front of room 3, he took one step forward again with the courage given by the children.

That one step saves me and saves others.

Maybe everyone in Everyone is coming to save you now is not just firefighters.

The citizens who reported to 119, the police officers who controlled the situation so that no more accidents would happen.

The cars that moved aside on the congested road.

The firefighters who ran hard.

And yourself who tried to survive.

They really all came to save me haha.

After watching this, I felt like I should move aside quickly for fire trucks and ambulances.

- Yeah, it seems like there are no separate heroes. Everyone is a hero haha.

-It was an evacuation video that I will never forget lol

=I totally agree. Unforgettable 22

-I reflected from the moment I saw the smoke at the end of the hallway. Because I think I would have just kept singing, wondering what that was haha

=I agree. I think I wouldnt have run away even if the emergency bell rang, thinking someone pressed it by mistake (Im sorry)

=There was an experiment too Even if smoke rises, the subjects dont move if other people dont move. Its because of crowd psychology.

=444 Desensitization to safety. I reflected.

As expected of Lee Seo-jun.

The senior reporter who was writing the article smiled contentedly.

It was Monday, but Na Jin and Lee Seo-juns names were still on the real-time search.

Occasionally, the names of the child actors who appeared with them, Kim Su-han, the assistant director, and Park Jung-woo, the director, were also mentioned.

Senior! We got a reply from Cloud!

It must be chaos over there.

The phone connection is bad too.

The senior reporter looked at the reply from Cloud, the ad production company, and continued writing the article.

[Actor Lee Seo-jun applied for audition as Na Jin!]

[One Step production company, We didnt propose to Cocoa Entertainment because of budget.]

[Among the actors who used their real names, only Na Jin used a stage name!]

[One Step set moved to Baekho Fire Safety Experience Center.]

[Firefighter Lee Young-tae, I empathized with the childrens footage.]

A.I cant act. I really cant. I kept making NGs during filming. The camera lens was too big. And it was my first time saying such lines with my mouth.(laughs)

Q.Then how did that scene come out?

A.When I thought we had to bring in another firefighter, Director Park Jung-woo showed me a video he had filmed earlier. It was a video of Na Jin, Kim Joo-kyung, and Kim Han-seok actors trying hard to evacuate.

When I watched that video, I thought that those childrens faces would be the ones who were waiting for us firefighters at the fire scene. From then on, I thought it was not filming, but a real dispatch. After that, I didnt care about the camera and I was happy that a cool video came out better than I thought.>

[(Exclusive) Plus+, shows interest in Fire Department video One Step!]

-Plus lol Isnt this too fast?

=Seriously lol Its been only 14 hours since it aired lol

=But it was good enough to be called a short disaster movie.

=22 Im just waiting for MBS today

[Title: Lee Seo-jun applying for audition as Na Jin is funny haha]

Main character Lee Seo-jun is (Shadowman123), Evil Spirit, My Doctor, Over The Rainbow, WTV Film Festival, Golden Globe, Academy, KBC Rookie Award winner) Glamorous

Sub character Na Jin is (Childrens play Spring) Modest

You can see the huge difference in their careers at a glance. And there would be a big difference in their appearance fees if they were different actors. So I guess he applied as Na Jin.

-Maybe he wanted to raise his sub character a bit since his main character is already max level haha

-Lee Seo-jun is already beyond reach, and his sub character Na Jin is gaining experience as an ordinary child actor But thats Childrens play, Spring.

=Just look at the number of comments on Plus lol Thats not ordinary at all lol

=Right haha I can hear the cries of parents who have seen it dozens of times

-But why did he do it as Na Jin? He could have done it as charity

=If he does it once, they will ask him to do charity everywhere. Im a public servant, and thats whats happening now haha

=22 Were an animal-related association, and we sent a lot of documents to Cocoa Entertainment and were still sending them

=333 If Lee Seo-jun does charity, everyone will rush to him. He did it for them but why not for us. Cocoa Entertainment will block them, but it will still be noisy. If he gets paid as Na Jin, that small amount of money will be a first filter to weed out people who are stingy.

=Wow.

-And if Lee Seo-jun does charity, it might be hard for other child actors.

=Why?

=Even the great Lee Seo-jun is donating his talent, and you want to get paid for it? I bet theyll say that to you.

=True

=Its so cruel that even Satan would cry.

***

Park Jung-woo?

Yeah! The director who made One Step is Park Jung-woo!

The film production company, Chugye, was in an uproar. Director Park Jung-woo, who had been kicked out after losing his script, had become a huge star.

No way.

The nephew of the president, who had planned everything from start to finish, looked at the phone that the president had thrown at him with a pale face.

One Step was a public service video that featured actor Lee Seo-jun. It had been broadcasted on KBC two days ago and on MBS yesterday, and its ratings had not dropped.

How could Park Jung-woo, who barely won a few film festival awards, make that?

The nephew looked at the phone again. He had no film festival awards at all.

[An interview with Park Jung-woo, the director of One Step!]

[An interview with Kim Su-han, the assistant director of One Step!]

The president shouted.

Do you know how many calls I got from investors after that article came out!? They said they would pull out their money if Park Jung-woo was not the director! Damn it! Those bastards who were quiet when I gave them the script.

Sir Uncle.

The nephew backed away from the president, who was furious.

Go and kneel down, beg, do whatever you have to do to bring Park Jung-woo back! Right now!

The president watched the nephew rush out of his office and gasped for breath.

If I had Park Jung-woo, everything would be taken care of, from investment to promotion Maybe even Lee Seo-jun.

He felt like he had lost a huge profit in an instant. He forgot that he had agreed to kick out Park Jung-woo. He couldnt contain his anger and yelled.

The nephew trembled as he heard the loud noise from the presidents office. He tried to contact Park Jung-woo, but his phone was turned off.

***

I didnt expect this.

Me neither. I thought we would be drinking and bragging for a day or two if we succeeded like this.

Park Jung-woo and Kim Su-han sighed as they sat in front of their laptops.

But their hands did not leave the keyboards.

Lee Seo-juns acting gave them a lot of inspiration and they did not want to miss any of it.

Kim Su-han stretched his stiff shoulders and opened his mouth.

Hyung. What are you going to do with the Chugye script?

That I dont think its good now. It wasnt what I had in mind in the first place.

Kim Su-han laughed at Park Jung-woos words. He liked how he seemed to have let go of everything.

Life is strange.

They were lamenting over drinks just a while ago, but now they didnt care at all. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Not that I forgive Chugye or anything.

They would never work with Chugye again in their lives.

Park Jung-woo and Kim Su-han focused on their own scripts again.

They expected that the investment for their next work would be plentiful thanks to this buzz. And since they were the directors who worked with Lee Seo-jun, actors would be interested too.

They had time, money, and actors. And the reporters would write articles for them, so promotion would be easy too.

It all depends on the directors skill after that.

It was both the biggest opportunity and the biggest crisis.

Park Jung-woo and Kim Su-hans eyes settled calmly. Only the sound of keyboards echoed in the quiet studio.

***

A week had passed since Lee Seo-juns public service advertisement was released.

The world seemed quiet, but something was changing little by little.

[(Exclusive) Prank calls to fire stations stopped!]

The time and manpower wasted by prank calls are indescribable.

But a surprising news came.

The prank calls that used to come several times a day started to decrease from a week ago, and today, not a single one came in(omitted)It is said that the public service advertisement by the fire department had a big impact>

-?? Really?

-Yeah, Im a firefighter and there are no prank calls

=22 There are also fewer minor reports.

-But is it because of Lee Seo-juns advertisement?

-I get it. I saw how the kids were struggling because of prank calls Who would do that if they had a conscience?

-I hope it lasts long.

[Title: Lets write down what changed because of Lee Seo-juns public service advertisement!]

First, me!

I work at a PC room and I cleared the stuff from the emergency exit lol I always wondered if it was okay to leave it like that, but the day after One Step came out, the boss cleared it all.

(A picture of an empty emergency exit)

He also made the emergency exit sign bigger. He marked the place where you press the emergency bell very clearly lol

-My company checked the sprinklers.

-I bought fire extinguishers for my part-time job lol Several lol

-I move my car right away when I hear a siren

-I look at the emergency exit first when I enter somewhere. I check if its blocked or open.

=22 I avoid places where the emergency exit is blocked lol

-I think about the escape route when I go to a new place lol lol

=Me too. If theres a fire, I have to go this way lol I have to cover my mouth with this lol I have plans from route A to route D lol lol

-Cell phones are selling well

=???

=Cell phones for kids are selling well. The ones that make 119 112 emergency calls fast lol

=lol lol lol Last time on TVM One Step, they even put a cell phone advertisement after it lol Emergency call that tells your location lol lol

=It was an existing product, but it wasnt very popular. Its starting to sell now lol

=It was broadcasted on Sunday, so they made it by Wednesday evening? Condolences to the staff

Thank you.

Kim Ji-hyun, who was reading the comments, said in a dying voice. She saw the staff lying around her.

This was Cloud, the advertising company that made the cell phone advertisement.

Team leader.

Huh?

The team leader, who was also lying down, lifted his head with difficulty.

Our company name is just Cloud from rolling. They think everything will work out if they roll people over.

They said they would pay a lot of money. I couldnt refuse.

Yeah. I understand.

She sounded like she didnt understand at all. It wasnt her money anyway.

The planning team leader smiled.

They said well get a bonus.

Woohoo!!

It was her money!
