Rebirth: King To Superstar Chapter 98

Joon-won, Dokgo Ki, and Kar Jung entered the changing room. All three of them quickly changed into their costumes. Joon-won picked the blue suit like he was told to by the manager of the company when he entered. After he got into the suit, he looked back and saw Dokgo ki was already gone out of the room while Kar Jung was still changing into his. His dress seemed more complex than his at was a butler uniform. The dress suited Kar Jung's thin figure and old face.
"Your dress suits you, old man," he commented with a smirk. Kar Jung nodded and replied while he continued to wear it, "Of course it suits me. Any dress will look good on me, and even though I am old, I still look better than you. So let's get going now." making Joon-won snort at his narcissism once again.
Both of them got out, and a guy was waiting for both of them outside, showed him the way to the set they prepared for the photoshoot. The set was a few rooms ahead and when they entered the assistant nodded while looking at them and pointed to the corner where there were a few make-up artists waiting for them. Joon-won noticed both Dokgo Ki and the girl were already done with their makeup and their photoshoot started.
Joon-won and Kar Jung quickly went towards the make-up artists and sat in the chairs they pointed at in front of the mirror. Joon-won noticed the entire shelf next to the mirrors was full of cosmetics, and the two artists looked at them before taking out a few of them.
The artist took a brush and started dabbing his face. Joon-won felt uncomfortable by it, it felt like there were too many layers on his face with the make-up. In his old world, there were no makeup artists, but there were spells people used to look good and so their group had a small magician to use the spell on the actors.
After that artist, another woman came behind him with a smile on her face as she touched his hair. She used wax and styled his hair. Joon-won couldn't help but wryly smile at how different he looked after the stylist was done. He looked a lot more mature and handsome. He never styled his hair, and now the stylist did some heavy work on it. It looked proper, and he lifted his hand to touch, but it got smacked away by the stylist as she waved her finger and walked away.

Joon-won just shrugged, looked at himself in the mirror once again before flashing a smile. He didn't feel too bad about all the make-up stuff in the end. It made him look better, after all. His looks were on the weaker side after he transmigrated, and so a bit of makeup was good.
As he was checking his looks, he heard his name from behind. He turned around and saw it was the assistant calling for him. He walked over to her side and she said, "Alright Joon-won, this will be your first photoshoot. In a sense, this is a way it will introduce you to the people for the first time on a stage. So the boss wants you to have some pleasant pictures taken."
Joon-won nodded and both of them looked at the present shoot. It was almost done as both Dokgo Ki and the female lead were sitting on a bench looking at each other in the eyes with a smile on their faces.
After their shoot was done, they called him and Kar Jung, who looked like a bonafide butler after the makeup. They slicked his hair to the back, and there were wrinkles on his face after the magic they did. The manager asked them to stand in front of a white backdrop while the members brought in a nice-looking chair to the middle. Joon-won had to block his eyes a little after standing there because of the lights focused on them.
"Alright, Joon-won take a seat and Kar Jung, stand behind him." the manager gave out the orders. Both of them followed as Joon-won sat in the comfy looking chair while Kar Jung stood behind him.
The manager nodded and said, "Alright, Joon-won sit with one leg over another, as if you are a king. Like you have everything under your control. I need that expression which tells how powerful you are. Look straight into the camera here. Be as dominant as you can be."
"Kar Jung, I need you to stand a bit to my right, like behind his left shoulder. Have both of your hands on your back and don't have any expression on your face. Stand like a shoulder." He continued to instruct both of them.
Both of them nodded and Joon-won adjusted his seating a little to face directly at the camera. Kar Jung moved to the side a little and kept both his hands at his back with no expression as the manager asked him to. Joon-won closed his eyes with a smile on his face as he thought how easy the Manager's request was. He asked him to act like a king. He didn't need to act. He was a king for decades and just had to pull that person out.

He closely crossed his legs as asked and looked straight into the camera with the same smile on his face as his whole body gave out a feeling of oppression. The people in the room could feel the atmosphere become heavy and the manager, who was looking at Joon-won, stopped breathing for a second. He felt as if he needed to bow to the new kid who sat there and looked at them like they were ants. This was what he asked for but did not know he would get it with the intensity Joon-won gave out.
It caught Kar Jung a little off guard with how everything changed in a split second. He felt his hair stand up and looked at Joon-won from the corner of his eyes. He saw the same easy going smile on the kid's face but he looked completely different. It was as if Joon-won was on the top of the world and was looking down on everyone from above with amusement.
Seeing everyone freeze, Joon-won turned to the manager with the same smile and said, "Manager, time is running out, shall we get our pictures done?" and the Manager finally snapped out. He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead before nodding.
He looked to the side and saw the photographer was standing like a statue with the camera in his hand and shook him a little. He pointed at Joon-won and Kar Jung before asking him to take pictures.
The camera man quickly got to work as he took photos from different angles and gave a thumbs up after he found the photos were good. The manager nodded at Joon-won, who closed his eyes and stood up. He opened the eyes and the oppression everyone was feeling vanished. Joon-won tanked the manager for the photos.
The manager asked Joon-won to change his clothes into the casual one for the next photo shoot and so Joon-won walked back into the changing room. Kar Jung, who had nothing else to do, just stood to the side. He thought about how Joon-won looked and felt the kid was very interesting. He gave off a completely distinct feeling than when both of them practiced.
As he was in his own thoughts, the manager came next to him and asked, "Kar Jung, who was that kid. He completely changed when I asked him to act. It was as if he was a completely different person. Is he some experienced child actor who is famous that I don't know about?"
Kar Jung shook his head and replied, "No, he is completely new. He didn't act even in a movie and came to the drama house after he was rejected in an audition. This weekend drama will be his first time the outside world will know of him."
It visibly shook the manager when he heard that. He gulped a mouthful of saliva and said, "He is a newbie? How does it seem like he isn't one? If his acting is on the same level as we just saw now, the entertainment industry should be ready to welcome another superstar."
Kar Jung nodded and said, "He has immense talent and will go very far in the industry."
Joon-won came out in casual wear and saw Dokgo Ki and the heroine also changed their clothes. The manager called them and it was a photo of all three of them. It was a simple photo with the two leads on one side of the frame, holding their hands with a smile while Joon-won on the opposite side looking at them with an expressionless face.
This time it went smoothly and all of them changed back to their normal clothes. Joon-won washed his face and removed all the makeup he had. He didn't touch the hair and let it be, as it looked better.

All Stats Random
Un-reality, the greatest game in the century just launched and Chris starts to play it. He wants to change his circumstances, which are through no fault of his own. But fate doesn't let it be that simple. He gets a hidden unique class, but that class has a special ability, one that randomizes all his stats whenever it wants? What? The world truly can't be fair to him. Not even in a game. Now he has to figure out a way to make this odd quirk of his class work. When he smiles, the world loves him.When he laughs, the world fears him. (and that was my stab at trying to imitate those chinese synopses) Regular chapters, once or twice per week. On the weekends usually. I will finish this novel, be it takes 1 year or 2. It will get a proper ending. Afterall, the ending is paramount. Also, the readers might feel rewarded if they look closely while reading. I try to be quite mindful and put in interesting details or things that would come into play later. And, personally i think that reviews on this site might as well be pointless. Unless you know the reviewer and think that you share his views. Your thoughts on a particular thing (like a novel) can differ from others. So, do give it a try before arbitrarily deciding. This is my try to perfect the 'master of all/everything' type of MC, inside a proper, realistic VR world, from a game design perspective and immersion and no convenient 'convert gold to irl currency' button. It is going to be a game first of all. Not a fantasy world overloaden with status screens and skills you can't possibly keep track of. A game with all of the real world aspects to it. Not a cheap fantasy world with shoehorned in stats.
