Chapter 337

Let's take a look at TeSTAR's planned cameo in the film again.

When the main character leads a large-scale battle, they will appear as supporting secondary characters and then disappear.

'It's a perfect composition for an homage or a parody.'

Looking at the scene in the script more or less, it looks like not only us would appear, but also some characters from the game as if they were passing by.

'I have a feeling it would probably be right before the climax in the middle or second half of the movie.'

However, what if we suddenly appear as a game character without being established actors or CG?

Even if we do it right, we will get bad results.

If we do it a little clumsily, it will be seen solemnly.

'If we try to go further, we will be mocked on the Internet.'

Understandably, the director and filming staff don't like it. This is clearly a choice made by a production company.

And the producer sitting in front of us is the head of the staff that sits between the production company and the production team.

Although he has authority, it is a position where he can sympathize with the staff on the film set.

But even now, we have taken the justification out of our side. That person is ready to listen.

'Seon AhHyun created a good atmosphere.'

Now, if they offer me a red skirt, I will accept it if it looks good.

TL/N: "다홍치마" literally means "red colored skirt", but it is a phrase used in any field when you are offered very poor choices (flat skirts, no eye-catching design), but you choose the option that looks better (bright red color attracts more attention).

So I slowly opened my mouth.

I'll wave a carrot first.

"We don't intend to violate the schedule on the set either. It's impossible because of the tour schedule in the first place."

We are also busy, man.

When he heard the interpretation, the producer nodded quite seriously. I continued speaking.

"Then why don't we do something simple enough for it to be discovered that TeSTAR will appear in the movie? Our contract must be honored"

The translator relayed the producer's words.

"He wants them to check the script to see if there are any scenes as similar as possible and proceed to secure a time slot."

He asked quickly, thinking we would accept because we are leaning.

I knew he would, but it won't be like that.

I laughed inwardly.

We can't show up in a bitchy bitchy scene which causes a shitty cosplay feel.

We'll come out with a different image.

"It will be awkward for both you and us to try to do something difficult by force, so it would be nice to do something simpler."

I'm inducing.

I remembered the scenes I had noticed while looking at the draft script on the plane.

And I picked up one of them.

"How about doing something in this scene instead?"

That's because I asked our staff, who had been wandering around the film set, as soon as I arrived at the hotel.

I asked if they had heard the production team staff mention anything about the scenes they had filmed.

And I got a tip.

"Ah, that..."

"Please tell me."

"Yes. Hmm, they said that another actor was going to use the same set that you were going to use a few days later."

I was talking about that scene.

It's a final plan that fits our schedule perfectly.

I handed the corresponding page of the script to the producer.

"It's more fun for a singer to play the role of a singer. Since we are singers, big battle scenes can seem awkward."

It's about filming a cut that doesn't interfere with the shooting schedule, and at the same time, we can use it as an image.

I'll go with this.

"There's nothing specific we have to do, but I think you'll feel comfortable using it because it's just one line and you'll have to insert the background."

The producer listened to the interpreter. I looked around slightly.

As we had agreed earlier at the hotel, no one was showing signs of agitation.

However, Cha YooJin, who was sitting closer to the producer, raised his eyebrows humorously.

He seemed to have heard something.

'Oh.'

YooJin smiled. I get an idea of what's going on.

Soon after.

"He wants to hear more in detail about your proposal."

Actually, it was a sign of approval.

'Okay.'

I shrugged.

And three days later, in the afternoon, the cameo shoot proceeded as planned.

* * *

On a late winter morning.

As usual on Hollywood sets, the workers know exactly what to do.

Although only a series of low wages, neglect and unwillingness to work awaited them, nothing was different. If they were making a living at that job, they wouldn't be here, but would have gone to a law firm.

The same was true of the assistant, who was like the foot of the production team. The youngest of the PAs, she barely listened to the briefing as she checked the coffee on set.

"Would there be extra people?"

Although there would be a brief cameo, they were rarely added suddenly on the same day.

When she asked who the "exception" was, the crew member briefly replied.

"KPOP stars."

"Ah."

It was the foreigners who gave up their set seats on a whim a few days ago.

She didn't know how much recognition that group had in her country, but even she, who knows what KPOP is, didn't know.

'Is it VTIC? It's the only KPOP boy group I know.'

She frowned slightly when she remembered her sister being crazy about KPOP, but soon relaxed.

"Certainly Joan was rude..."

At that moment, the attitude taken by the assistant director and half of the production crew was too much.

It was a common thing they would do to an unknown actor. However, whether it's okay to do such a thing because he's unknown is another discussion.

"Still, they had the courage to leave."

The words of the production crew member were ironic.

If you don't stick it out and leave the trailer, you have to give up on making it in Hollywood.

'It's going to be a tough day.'

She sighed after a brief estimate of how much of a mess the group would make after leaving the set in a day.

"How long will the shoot be extended?"

"30 minutes."

"Oh...I'll have to pray Steve doesn't fuck anyone up."

"You should pray it's a short one."

The talk was soon over. She was called and started running around the set again.

The set and effects were extremely realistic thanks to director Lee refraining from using CG as much as possible and applying it to the cost of the set.

It was a rare environment for acting in this film series, where people often act wearing only tight green suits.

"But...what the hell are they trying to film here?"

This scenario was the beginning of a variety of scenarios based on the film's worldview, in which the protagonist, who first appeared on the space station, walked into a bar and met an assistant.

There was no room for eccentrically dressed KPOP stars anywhere.

'Well, the assistant director, Joan, would know.'

Because she was in charge of managing the details of the filming site. She held back a sigh and moved the desk.

And just as she was trying to stack some chairs...

Her foot twisted.

"Aaah."

She took a bad step.

'Oh, no!'

The assistant closed her eyes for a moment, but she didn't collapse to the floor with the chair.

Instead, someone took the chair she was holding from her.

"Are you all right?"

"...! O-oh...yes."

"My God, why are you carrying so much? I see people with nothing to do over there."

It was an animated, relaxed voice.

'Who is it?'

She was puzzled for a moment, but got up from the floor.

And she was surprised.

"Every one of us has a job to do.....!"

"Well, that's true."

When she looked up, more than ten people were standing in front of her. All Asians, mostly men.

And the man who had pulled up his chair, a tall guy, smiled.

"I'll be working on a cameo. Nice to meet you. I'm from TeSTAR."

"Good morning!"

The boys her age who greeted her behind him were quite polite. They all had good skin and good looks, but some were too pretty in her eyes.

'Still, they all have good attitudes.'

The worry she had a few minutes ago disappeared as if it had been a joke.

"Good morning. Yes, thank you very much."

She suddenly thought words like "You speak good English," but restrained herself and gave a normal response.

As if he had noticed, the pink-haired boy behind him opened his mouth with a mysterious look.

"This guy is from here. California."

"Oh, yeah."

On second thought, no matter who heard it, it was the accent of this state, so she was more surprised when she looked up.

She looked again at the boy who helped her.

He has a good body, is quiet, and has the unique drive of a successful person.

"You can call me Eugene."

"Hmm, okay."

"Even if I don't eat that delicious sandwich in the trailer today, it would be okay, right?"

That way of talking...it was definitely from California. It was usual to say negative things in a positive way. She laughed loudly this time.

"Maybe. For now...I'll lead you to the assistant director, Joan."

"Thank you very much!"

As she moved to hand them over to the assistant principal, she heard a foreign language from behind her.

"Iyaa, YooJinie is very good at speaking, isn't he?"

"I know!"

She didn't know what it meant, but it was a bright tone. It doesn't sound too bad.

'Would they have increased the amount of cameos?'

The truth was that the assistant director's attitude had also changed. Joan suddenly began to treat them with excessive politeness.

'What's going on?'

Anyway, they quickly occupied the set before the main actors who were to film today arrived.

She also moved quickly.

First, snacks and drinks.

"Where should I take them to film after they finish eating?"

Instead of her staff, the pink-haired boy looked at her and raised his hand as a brief reply.

Upstairs?

"Thank you very much. Upstairs."

"...?"

She followed his hand and looked up.

The boy continued in a firm tone.

"We're going to act."

Good heavens.

The hand pointed...to a corner of the bar, a place done to perfection.

It was a set of a small bar.

They had arrived as extras who would act in the background of this scene!

It was ridiculously simple.

'But...why are they doing this?'

No matter how much they would dress up, the question was whether this crazy atmosphere would fit them.

In the meantime, the preparation for the filming was constant and the guys actually stood backstage at the bar after a camera test.

'I'll take care of the sound anyway, so they just have to pretend it's okay.'

They controlled the mics and one of them sat at the keyboard. There was also a guy who asked about using a strange space instrument.

And the filming really started on a quiet set, without having a lot of expectations.

Uuung–

The bar set darkened, amidst mirror balls and bright lights.

Black hole

A rich sound echoed from the microphone, although it was not from singing.

"...!"

The startling tone harmonized with the musical accompaniment, and poured out like laser light or starlight.

But it was not elegant. The sound of a texture similar to when you draw with a random crayon splashed out.

An addictive song with a fast beat fit for a kitschy space opera.

And a band that sings quite defiantly on a cramped stage.

Let me swallow it

It all melded together with the atmosphere of a bizarre bar that faithfully depicted the look of the sci-fi back alley.

It was an impressive talent.

"....."

She came to understand why the boy had to leave his birthplace and go to a distant country.

'It's hard to turn down a group like that.'

In light of the fact that it had not been a pre-planned group in the first place, but was just a temporary group formed from survivors of a survival program, they intended to fight.

Anyway, the presentation of the OST, which took only two minutes, left not only her but also quite a few workers blank.

In the rising part and the climax, there were even staff members who watched without noticing and slightly shook their bodies.

Tuk.

"Thank you very much."

The calm composure of those who thanked at the end of their performance raised their status. It was a very popular celebrity posture.

'...It was unexpectedly cool.'

Moreover, they didn't look at the cameras as if they weren't there. It was a skillful preparation for the film.

So it was even more pitiful.

'It's going to be edited anyway...!'

There was no chance to save all the acting in the film. It's because it was an unexpected and external factor.

At best, this will be taken as a candidate for behind-the-scenes release!

Somehow she felt that fact was so unfair.

She could understand why they chose this scene for a cameo, but it was unfortunate that she made a mistake because she didn't know much about the scene.

'Hyuu.'

It was just a useless worry.

This is because the parties involved didn't even have such expectations in the first place.

What they were looking for was not simply for the acting to look good and appear in the movie.

It was a connection to what was to be filmed next.

"Hmmm."

"We're not filming any more performances, are we?"

"Looking at the atmosphere, I think not."

Park MoonDae, who moved away from the microphone, opened his mouth towards Bae SeJin among the members waiting for the next cut.

"Hyung, show us your acting skills as a genius child actor, please."

"Fighting!"

"There's no need to feel pressured, we just want you to know our deep faith and trust!"

And Bae SeJin nodded earnestly, forgetting the reaction he had in the past after being told "It's just one line, but it needs someone who knows how to capture the moment well and control the camera."

"...Okay!"

"Ooooh!"

'He's immersed.'

Park MoonDae judged Bae SeJin's condition.

After refusing the water offered by the staff, Bae SeJin simply changed his attire with a calm look.

And after a while, there was the "real" cameo session that took place after the main actors joined.

"...!"

The younger assistant completely understood why the KPOP group chose this scene.

And at the same time, she was confused.

'Why is he...in an idol group?'

* * *

Two months later.

The preview of the tentative edition of this film was shown first, and the amount of TeSTAR editing did not decrease despite the feedback from the presentation.

TL/N: Preview or "avant-première" is a private pre-release presentation intended for special guests, including people from the general public such as the media.

However, rumors spread and speculative articles began to appear in Korea.

["The Worldview of a Korean Game" In the new Limestone movie...will a KPOP idol group appear?]

The lit match was about to fall on the well-dried kindling.
