Top Star: Journey To Become A Global Star

Chapter 20. X factor

The ending scene was an indoor scene.

Several monitors reflected Ren and Chu Min as they waited for the camera to roll.

Various people were closely looking at the monitors intently. There all had curious expressions on their faces.

'I just had to do my best.'

Ren thought as he remembered the things he had done to perfectly fit in the role of Jay.

He had continuously thought of his previous life, he was thinking of the phase he was depressed beyond belief.

It was the time when his mother had died and he was getting continuous failures in his career. That was the time when he was the most depressed.

He was thinking about that because it was the most important thing binding him and Jay.

'Depression!!'

The thing most common in both of them. Ren had been depressed for a long time in his previous life and Jay was a character which is always depressed.

It was his depression that pushes him to the brink of his craziness.

He was always calm on outside but his insides are filled with madness.

Although there were various things common in between Ren and Jay, depression was the most important factor.

'I am ready, now.'

Ren thought as he put up his hoodie which perfectly hided his face and expression.

At that moment, Director Zhu shouted over his lungs.

"Standby. Action!!"

A staff member shut the slate and the scene started.

*Ddak!*

"Your plan is over now, I don't know who are you but now, you and your accomplices identity will be shown to the world."

Kai (Chu Min) said as he looked at the phone in his hand. One click and the identities of all the people related to the massacre incident will be uploaded on the internet.

"What happened, now? Will you not even show me your face at this last moment?"

Kai said to the man who was standing with a hoodie on his head. Kai was not even able to see his face as the lights were dim.

"You are really persistent, Agent Kai? Even going on as far as killing your own agents to find me."

The man's voice was hoarse like he had cold but it just added more suspense to the situation.

"So what? Capturing you was my life's goal. It will be fine even if I got arrested for it."

"Oh really! Hehe, you are really funny, you know. You think that you are the cat when you are just a rat trapped in a cage. Hehe"

"Huh?? What do you mean?"

Kai said with a confused expression. He was disturbed by the man's crazy laugh.

"You will soon understand after you saw this."

The man said as he lifted off his hoodie.

"Yoou, you, aree, JAY?!"

Kai voiced shuttered when he saw that face. It was a face filled with madness and craziness to the brink.

"You, how are you alive?"

He had clearly seen him dying in the accident. He was confused as to how he was alive.

"Hehe, you are confused, right. Scared even, hahaha. I really wanted to take a picture of that expression. You looked really wonderful!!"

"Don't joke with me!! Why the hell are you here? Are you the one who initiated that massacre incident?"

"Why don't you make a guess about that? You are good at guessing, right."

Jay said as he started to come close to Kai with a crazy laughing expression on her face which seems to be mocking Kai.

"Oh yes, why don't you try cl.i.c.k.i.n.g that button and uploading the file on the internet."

'Click!' 'Click!'

"This, why isn't this working? You, what did you do?"

"Me? Hahaha. I did nothing, I just placed traps. You were the one to trigger them. Why do you think that you got a massacre incident clue in a place like Afghanistan."

"You bartard!!"

Kai said as he suddenly punched towards Jay but he easily dodged the punch and started laughing hysterically.

"Haha, you are still so short tempered but it suits you. It really suits you. Hehehe."

"Why did you do this? Why??"

When Kai shouted towards him with a anguished expression, Jay stopped his laugh and smiled towards him with the most craziest smile.

"It was you who had started this."

"...…Cut!!"

Director Zhu took some time to say cut as he engrossed in the scene. It was the same for everyone in the set, they were all stunned because of Ren.

* * *

Shi Shang took a step back when he heard the Director's shout.

'Gulp!'

He heard somebody's gulping sound and slowly looked at her surroundings.

Director Zhu was looking at the monitor with sparkles eyes. The actors who were watching behind him were also silent.

Some were even rubbing their eyes and pinching themselves on the cheek.

Jiang Wan was continuously slapping his cheek and Zhang Yufeng was rubbing his eyes. Although both of them were in disbelief, they both had beaming smiles on their faces.

He turned to look at the other side. There was Li Xinru sitting there with a scared expression. She had a scared expression but she was still looking cute.

At her side, Su Ling was also staring at both Chu Min and specially, Ren.

Of all the people, only White bear was running around the set trying to find a towel for Ren.

Although he was running around, he also had a frightened expression on his face.

They all looked entranced as they stared at the monitor like an audience watching a hit movie.

They all had smile on their faces and Shi Shang felt that they were fully convinced by the acting.

"Hey, you, quickly come here."

"Huh!! CEO?"

Shi Shang turned around when heard that voice and noticed CEO Shin coming towards him.

His worried expression was now all gone and he had smiles all over his face. He looked like someone who had just finished a billion dollar deal.

"CEO, Do you see that scene. I was frightened by that for a second. Even the investors were stunned."

"I know that but first tell me something? Have you finished the poster of the film."

"Ha, we are working on it. We had decided to go with a photo of Chu Min with a face full of injuries and a gun in his hand."

"Immediately stop that. Do as I instruct. I want a picture of Chu Min with blood dripping out of his mouth and make that picture overshadowed with the character of Jay. Don't show much of his face, just a smile is enough."

"Hah??"

Shi Shang let a confused voice as he heard the CEO plans. Just yesterday, he looked like someone attending a funeral but now, he was full with vitality.

"Hey, are you listening to me?"

"Ha, Yes, but did something happened, CEO?"

CEO Shin smiled when he heard that and said with a delightful face.

"Yeah, I found the X factor."
