Rebirth: King to Superstar

"The whole drama was so bad I wanted to puke."

The single sentence from his mouth made the temperature in the auditorium drop by tens of degrees. Everyone was silent at how blunt the ban was as his eyes swept through each person on the stage. His eyes briefly stopped at only two places. One was on Jung-hwa and the other was on Joon-won.

"You call this acting? It's garbage. You call this a drama? It's an insult to all the dramas out there. Do you call that a story? You better die than write another story." He kept hammering one nail after another as some of the students' bodies went weak and had to take the support of their friends.

The Vice-dean turned his head and looked at the young man beside him with a tinge of appreciation. He was telling words he couldn't tell because of his position as the Vice-dean. He couldn't demoralize the students directly and hoped these words would be a wake-up call for them.

"When I came here, I didn't have high expectations because of your age and this being many of your first time on stage, performing. But after seeing this horror it seems like even the normal standard I was expecting was too much to ask from you guys."

As he talked, they all heard a giggle in the silent auditorium. The people on the stage didn't need to turn their heads to know who was laughing at their misery. Joon-won looked at Hea-jung, holding her stomach with one hand and mouth with the other, trying to stop herself.

'This idiot must find this part of the whole thing funnier and more entertaining than the actual drama she was supposed to enjoy. She really doesn't care about what others think.' he thought and let out a sigh.

He noticed the Vice-dean sigh as she laughed and the producer's mouth twitched. But he still maintained a straight face and continued, "Now the story was very bad. It had the worst ending ever. You completely forgot about the villain which suddenly popped up when you needed a convenient way to bring the hero and heroine together, but he never came back after two scenes. You gave the villain two scenes? The villain was better than the hero himself. His acting was better than this idiot."

"It looks like you never really cared about the whole exam and the drama while writing the story. You only cared about that guy and how good you wanted to make him look good as the hero." He spits out every thought he had, and everything was the truth. Roh Ji made the drama to maximize Hyeong Myung's role even though he was the hero, making the whole drama a complete mess.

Roh Ji was slowly wobbling as almost every single drop of blood vanished from her face. The drama she was confident it was completely disregarded as trash.

"I will tell you this at the end. Do not write another story in your entire life. If possible, do not step into the industry itself. If you ever write a story, I can guarantee you that any human who values his or her money wouldn't ever produce it. Even if you somehow find an idiot or self-produce a movie. No actor who wants to keep his career would agree to act in it. No audience with their right mind would buy a ticket with their hard-earned cash for the film. So end your dreams here and go do work for your parents who probably are already rich." With that, she took the support of her friend who was standing back of her to continue standing.

"Now the hero of the drama. That was your acting skills? With how you are now, people wouldn't look at your face one more time. Did you think you could cover your bad acting with your looks? No matter how much you try to cover it, it will always be visible and the smell would be obvious for people who have at least a bit of experience in the industry."

Hyeong Myung was now gritting his teeth at the humiliation he was receiving. He never felt so shameful to show his face in his entire life. He couldn't look into the guy's eyes anymore and just looked down like most of the students.

"There was obviously a better actor than you in this group who could take that role but it seems like the director was that bad and conceited." This made people raise an eyebrow. Especially Hyeong Myung, who was shocked and wanted to know who acted better than him in this shitty class full of idiots.

"Now even though the so-called Star Batch of this place was also bad, at least their drama was ok. Now this one was worse and the only reason I didn't stand up from this seat and walk out if it wasn't because of two people in this group. Even in a place where there was no good acting from both groups, two people stood out."

He glanced at the Vice-dean and said, "Vice-dean, I heard you are giving a monetary prize for the student who acts the best in this group. Can I pick who will receive it?" Now everyone's eyes were on the Vice-dean. Most of the people did not care about the money, but receiving it meant that the person was the best actor among all of them.

The Vice-dean looked at all the students and said, "I think both you and I have the same person in mind. So go ahead Mr.Hwan." permitting him.

Do Hwan nodded and pointed out at Jung-hwa and said, "Hey you. Come forward. Only you deserve this monetary prize. You were one of the two reasons this drama is even getting evaluated. Even though you are still rough around the edges, if you continue like this and improve in your 2nd year, I can tell that you will be able to land a few roles by the end of 2nd year. So do a good job."
