Superstar From Age 0 - Chapter 751
Chapter 751
-Q. How do you feel when your child, who was supposed to be a hero, becomes a villain? Describe your feelings in 100 words or less.
=A. I feel so sad, heartbroken, choked, and miserable to see him fight against Shadowman again. When will our William (a.k.a Jin Natra) be happy without any worries or troubles? Marinza, who said he was the new hero, should apologize to the fans all over the world…(rambling).
=A2. I can’t see anything through my tears. I was so happy to hear that ‘William Lee’ was a hero and thought that our Seo-jun would appear in [Shadow and Knight] and the series that would follow. But a villain? A villain? Is this the end for him in this movie!? What was Marinza thinking…(rambling).
=A3. I envy my past self who imagined our child (Jin Natra), who had no friends, having fun and building friendship with the season 2 heroes and saving the Earth. If I could go back, I would tell myself not to watch the trailer…(rambling).
-;;;Everyone is in a bad state;;;
=They are losing their minds after watching the Shadow and Knight trailer(not funny)
=I can see why. It looks like he is going against Shadowman.
=He was supposed to be a hero, right? A hero, right!?(going crazy)
=If Jin Natra is not a hero but a villain, does that mean he is out in this movie?
=Well, he might continue to be the final villain of season 2 like the Shadowman series.
=……That’s not too bad. We can see Jin Natra’s villain power (adult version), right?(dangerously excited!)
=22 I’m glad I’m not the only one who is thrilled to see Jin Natra (villain)
=333 Villain Jin Natra is so good.
-But what made Jin Natra a villain? It ended with a happy ending when he went home, right?
=As a fan who read all the hero movies, comics, novels, etc., I can tell you for sure that someone died. [Death of a precious person → Awakening] is the pattern of becoming a hero.
=22 It’s cliché, but there is no more certain reason than that.
=33 If you watch other movies, someone always dies. Whether it’s a mother, father, sibling, relative, lover, or friend.
=Don’t tell me his mother, father, or friend died?
=But why did he have to awaken as a villain
=It’s Jin Natra.
=……I accepted it.
=Jin Natra (destroyer of Earth & Natra planet)
-Today, I felt the power of punctuation. I didn’t expect the exclamation mark (!) and the ellipsis (……) to be so impressive.
=Me too. When it said <He’s coming!>, I thought ‘Hero!!(excited!!)’, but when it said <He’s coming…….>, I thought ‘……Villain?(crazy…….)’.
=222 Punctuation is amazing. But I didn’t want to feel this way.
-But it’s just a trailer, right? Trailer baiting is a common thing in the movie industry, so don’t give up hope yet.
=There’s a saying ‘The trailer is everything.’
=Isn’t that for a different situation?
=22 If they say ‘The trailer is all there is’ now, Marinza will be on fire.
=33 Shadow and Knight trailer summary: Shadowman VS Jin Natra Is that all
=SNS is already burning. It seems like all the curses in the world are gathered
=Korean curses are so satisfying
-I’m glad there’s no viewer board on Marinza’s website. Otherwise, the site would have exploded.
=It already exploded.
=It exploded even without a board
Everyone thought it was the emergence of a new hero in [Shadow and Knight].
But they all turned upside down with just one trailer.
-I feel like I missed something, so I’m watching it for the 1,066th time.
=It’s a scary number that seems possible.
=22 It feels like you really watched it 1,066 times;;;
I didn’t want to hear any spoilers, and I didn’t even watch the trailer, but I reached out with my mouse without knowing it. And then I watched the problematic trailer.
-??What, what is this??
=Wasn’t he cast as a hero? This is casting fraud!?
-Let’s calm down, everyone. The trailer is just a trailer.
=22 It’s edited. They just edited the impressive parts from the movie.
=But the fact that Jin Natra (villain) appears in the movie;;;
He’s a villain!
It’s a trailer bait!
As people were buzzing, YouTube channels that didn’t miss the opportunity to get views also joined the topic.
[Shadow and Knight, Jin Natra: Villain? Hero?]
[An unfolding that couldn’t be seen in the original! What is William’s future?]
There were channels that analyzed the cookie videos and trailers along with the [Shadowman Series], but there were also channels that copied and pasted them.
That’s how YouTube videos attracted people’s attention, people’s attention left comments, and comments (foreign reactions, etc.) aroused people’s interest.
The world was in an uproar with the sentence [HE’S COMING!] and one trailer.
The Marinza employees who were happy about it, whether the company’s website exploded or not.
And the actors, director, and staff of [Shadow and Knight].
“/You did a great job with the trailer. I would go see it from the first day./”
Seo-jun, who was looking at the internet reaction, spoke to the phone across.
-/Hehe. Right?/
Jonathan’s voice, which seemed to be worn out from the editing, came through. But his eyes must have been sparkling.
“/Are you still editing?/”
-/Yeah. There’s still some time left until the release date./
The release date was less than a month away and the promotion had started, but Jonathan was still working hard on editing because of the tight schedule.
-/I have to make it perfect./
Of course, since they had to put subtitles for each country, they couldn’t touch it much after the subtitles were completed, but they planned to check the CG and the fine parts of the video until the end.
-/But everyone is working hard, so I think it will end sooner than expected./
Seo-jun listened with a smile as Jonathan talked about his team members who were working with him.
-/Oh, the second trailer is scheduled to come out in a few days./
“/How many did you make?/”
-/Three./
Wow……
The first trailer left such an impact, and there are still two more left.
Seo-jun laughed, imagining the reactions of the people who would be in a mess.
-/I hope everyone likes it, since we worked hard on it./
“/Me too./”
Well, anyway, that would all lead to interest in the movie.
Hehehe.
It was the laughter of the director and the actor that would have been annoying if people heard it.

While the world was buzzing about [Shadow and Knight].
Seo-jun was finishing up the preparations for the Han University festival, which was not far away.
“It feels like the scale has gotten bigger…”
It’s not a feeling.
The scale had gotten bigger.
Seo-jun flipped through the plans he received from each team (including the actors’ team) and shrugged his shoulders.
“Well, as long as it’s fun, it doesn’t matter how big the scale is.”
After all, festivals are meant to be enjoyed.
Seo-jun, who finished his class first, waited for the members of the [Shrine Project] in the school practice room.
They were going to have a meeting to check the progress of each team for the upcoming festival.
Soon, the members started to enter the practice room one by one.
“Jin Natra!”
“William!”
It was a scream, or a call, or something.
It was a cry mixed with indescribable emotions.
For the record, it was the first time they met the art team and the props team after the first trailer of [Shadow & Knight] was released, so it was understandable that they had such a fierce reaction.
-Geo: A villain?! He was a villain?!
-Mina: Oh my god…
-Ji-yoon: I thought he was a hero for sure…
-Ji-hoo: You never know. It could be a bait.
<lololol
He also received a lot of messages from his friends, full of surprise and shock, so it was not a strange thing.
“I was really shocked when I saw the trailer.”
The members who arrived first waited for the others while eating the snacks that Seo-jun brought and talked.
“Our William… or, William oppa?”
One of the art team members was momentarily confused.
The actor himself was older, but the character he liked was younger.
‘How should I call him?’
Seo-jun read what she was thinking from her shaking eyes and said with a smile.
“Think of them separately.”
“Then I’ll call him our William! Aah! Our William is a villain…!”
That was fast.
Seeing her comfortable attitude, Seo-jun smiled, feeling that they had become close over time.
Even after that, the practice room was noisy with the talk about [Shadow & Knight] until everyone arrived, but no one asked Seo-jun about the movie.
They were really good members.
The meeting time came.
Everyone arrived without fail, and the meeting began.
They checked everything without missing anything: the stage to be installed on the lawn the day before the festival, the costumes for the actors, the paint for the body, the props and the background for decoration, etc.
“Now that the festival is only a few days away, let’s all do our best until the end.”
“Yes!”
“Oh, and the background music has been decided.”
“Wow!”
“Really?”
The members’ eyes sparkled.
Seo-jun had not mentioned the background music at all while preparing for the [Shrine Project], so they thought, ‘Is he going to do it without music?’
“It’s a classical piece.”
“Classical! It goes well with the shrine!”
“Right.”
Seo-jun smiled brightly at the enthusiastic response of the members and opened his mouth.
“It’s ‘Break’ composed by violinist Jason Moore.”
The background music for the [Shrine Project] was [BREAK], a piece composed by Jason Moore, who was inspired by the encore stage of Bluemoon.
***
Time passed.
Two days before the festival of Korea National University of Arts.
The second trailer of [Shadow & Knight] was released.
-…It looks scary.
=No, the second one might be different!
It was definitely different.
A warm music flowed.
There was William, sitting at a table with his mom and dad, having a meal.
There was William, catching a flying football lightly and playing with his friends.
There was William, listening to the class with a serious expression, no different from other kids.
And there was William, looking somewhere with a bright smile, happy and cheerful, without a trace of shadow.
There was such a William.
[SHADOW & KNIGHT]
A short happiness that looked like a painting unfolded before people’s eyes and disappeared.
And the internet soon became a sea of tears.
-WTF why are they showing us this
=22 The first trailer was enough I was going to watch the movie anyway!
-The first trailer was shocking, but the second one was also insanely shocking…
=If I saw this first, I would have thought ‘Our William has a lot of friends(touching)’, but after seeing the first trailer, I just cry
=I know What happened to our William to make him like that
-Now that I think about it, it seems too late, but we should have studied the works of Jonathan Will.(serious)
=In the Name of God: Everyone dies except one.
=lololol(not funny.)
=The works that Seo-jun appears in are similar lol(not laughing.)
=That’s what happens when such a director and an actor meet???
=It’s a disaster…
-Why do I have to feel sadness from such a happy trailer
=I know
-I’m going to watch the movie. I’m going to watch Shad&Kn
=22 I was going to watch it even without this trailer
-I think I’ll be devastated until I watch Shad&KnOur WilliamOur Jin
=I have a feeling that I’ll be devastated even after watching the movie…?
=Maybe.
=I’m scared to see what happened.
=…I need to bring one more tissue.(resigned)
=Will one be enough?(buying tissues)
