Top Star: Journey To Become A Global Star 4 Chapter 4. Preparing For The Role

Chapter 4. Preparing for the role

10:50 AM

Both Ren and White bear reached the set just 10 minutes before their schedule. They could see the staff moving busily around the set.

"It looks like they are preparing for a scene."

White bear said while looking at the staff moving around.

"Yeah, let me message Brother Chu that we have reached the set."

Ren said the words as he pulled out his phone to message Chu Min but before he could do that, he saw Chu Min coming towards him with hurried steps.

His steps were quick and his expression was of panic and sorrow. It looks like he was really worried about something.

"Brother Chu, good to see you."

Ren enthusiastically greeted Chu Min as he reached them. He was meeting him after quite a while.

He smiled seeing the youthful face of Chu Min. His brown hair and handsome face really attracted attention.

"Brother Chu, what happened? You are looking distressed."

White bear asked as he saw through Chu Min's worried expression. He was good at seeing other people's expression.

"Actually, Ren the role you are going to play had somewhat changed."

Chu Min said as he started telling Ren, how the writer had changed the script and how the director wanted an experienced actor for this role.

Ren wasn't seriously listening to it as he had already heard it in his previous life. He knew all about what had happened.

He was instead seeing the expressions of White bear. His expressions were rather unique and he was giving various expressions.

As he continued to listen to Chu Min's words, White bear expressions started crumbling.

He looked like he was both angry and depressed. He was also sneaking glances at Ren to see his expression.

"I tried my hardest and I pleaded the director for a chance and he said that he will give you a chance but I don't think he will wait much long.....I am really sorry….."

After Chu Min finished his words, he lowered his head. He was really blaming himself.

"You don't have to worry about it, Brother Chu. It isn't your fault. I should instead say thank you for your efforts."

White bear also chimed in as he said.

"Yeah, Brother Chu, it isn't your fault. It was the fault of the director and the writer. How can they change the role in the last minute. I will go have a talk with them."

"Don't go anywhere. I don't think we could do anything about it."

Ren hurriedly stopped White bear as he calmed him down. He was afraid that the director and the writer will get frightened if he really went and have a talk with them.

Although he didn't have any bad intentions, only Ren knew that. Others will definitely think that he is there to threaten them.

"So, what should we do. Isn't it just unfair to you."

"Think about it positively. Although my role had changed, it also became a much bigger role and I also got a chance to act. I just have to impressed the director now."

"Even if you say that, you don't have much time to prepare for the role. It had completely changed and you don't have much experience in acting in negative roles."

Ren shook his head at Chu Min words and said.

"We will gain nothing if we keep talking. As you say, we don't have much time, so I should use that time to remember the lines instead."

Chu Min wanted to say more to Ren but he knew that they didn't have enough time. Time was the key here.

That's why he didn't said anything else and led Ren and White bear to the dressing room.

He gave the script to Ren as he started wearing his costume for his role.

"You would have some scenes with me. Don't worry today shoot would not be that long. If you pull through it, then the role will be yours."

Ren didn't answer his question as his mind was fully focused on the script. He knew about his role as he had watched the movie but he was still remembering the script as not to forget his lines.

His role was of a enemy spy whose name is Jay. The main character will encounter him when he was searching for a clue to a ma.s.sacre incident.

The role of Jay was quite intense and Ren had quite liked his role when he had watched the movie. He also had felt pity that he was not able to play that character.

Although the role was great, Ren had also felt that the actor who had played the role of Jay in his previous life hadn't given much effort.

He didn't knew if it was because he had less time to prepare for that role or it was some other reason but the actor who had played the role of Jay often didn't give it his all.

Ren felt that the actor who had played the role of Jay was only doing it for money. There were not many expressions in his acting and his acting lacked the feeling a villain should have. It was just tasteless watching him play the role of Jay.

Many critics had also criticised the actor who had played that role. Some had even said that the actor who had played the role of Jay had lowered the quality of the movie by doing this role.

'Don't be nervous!'

Ren was constantly calming himself down in his mind. He looked calm on the outside but he was pretty nervous.

Their was constant fear in his heart. He was afraid that he will fail again like his previous life.

He knew that if he failed now then he have to work really hard to get another role. If that happened, then he will have to take the same path as his previous life.

He didn't want that. If he didn't change the future now, then he will just waste his second chance.

"Are you okay?"

White bear said with concern as he saw Ren's troubled face.

"I am okay. Just slightly nervous."

"You don't have to be nervous. Just treat it as we are doing rehearsals for our play."

Chu Min said as he was doing his make up.

"Rehearsals? What if I failed?"

Ren asked Chu Min with a confused expression but Chu Min just smiled and said.

"You remember when we used to do theatre, we always used to make mistakes but we always learned something new. Just treat it as you are getting experience. It doesn't matter if you failed once or twice."

"It doesn't matter if I failed."

"Yeah, I will just introduce you to another role. I am still feeling sorry about what happened today."

"Yeah, Ren, it didn't matter if you fail once or twice. Look at me, I have failed several time and I am still in the industry."

White bear said while laughing. He looked silly and cute laughing like that.

'It didn't matter if I failed once or twice.'

Ren thought as he smiled. He knew he had failed several times in his previous life but now it had changed.

He was back in the past. He had more chances now. He was sure that if he gave his all, he will surely make it big in the entertainment industry.

He not only had his experience but he also had the knowledge of future. If he didn't become a actor, he can at least earn a living by using his future knowledge.

He just have to give his best no matter what the result is.

As he was thinking about that, the door opened and a staff member entered the room.

"We will starting the shoot in 5 minutes."

Hearing his words, Ren stood up as he walked towards the set.

"Don't be nervous."

Chu Min said with a smile but Ren just shrugged and said.

"Don't worry, I am okay now."
