Chapter 71 – Extra Shooting Ⅰ⑥
^-^
“We’ll start filming soon!”
“Oh, yes!”
I was chatting with my sister for a while when a staff member approached me and told me that filming would start soon.
“I’ll come back!”
“Do well.”
“Yes!”
I waved my hand above her head and said hello to my sister, then turned and walked towards the filming set.
When I arrived at the filming site, Jo Jin-seong, who came before me, was looking at me with meaningful eyes.
I looked at him because I felt like I was losing if I avoided eye contact, but Jo Jin-seong suddenly chuckled to himself.
‘What?’
Are you really starting a fight?
Since the first time we met, we’ve been arguing… Wow. This can’t be…
‘Are you jealous of me…?!’
He’s jealous of me because he feels like he’s being pushed out by acting!
Not only did the staff praise me for being good at it, but I might actually be good at acting?!
Yes, Jo Jin-seong was clearly thinking, ‘I can’t believe I lost to a kid like that! Hehe!’ I’m thinking to myself like this!
I think I said something to myself in the middle… Anyway…!
Otherwise, you won’t suddenly start an argument with me.
‘I see. That’s what it was.’
If that’s the reason, it’s right for me to be generous and understanding.
With that thought in mind, I looked at Jo Jin-seong again, and it seemed that he now seemed more like a petty man who was jealous of me, rather than someone who would get angry by picking fights with me.
At that time.
“We are starting to film! Please stand by!”
When I heard the director’s sign to start filming, I shook my head, erased all my thoughts, and started to get my bearings.
I closed my eyes and caught most of my emotions, and just as I opened my eyes, I heard the sign to start filming at just the right time.
“Standby! Cue!”
* * *
The scene we filmed this time wasn’t very difficult.
It was just a normal scene where I stabbed the crown prince and tried to kill him.
If you’re asking if we weren’t on the same side last time, that’s true.
This scene was just a sparring scene, not a scene where I, the assassin, actually killed the crown prince.
Anyway, so it was a scene where the crown prince pulled out his sword and struck back the flying sword and stopped it right in front of my eyes, and I had to just watch.
It wasn’t a real sword flying, of course it was CG.
It was a scene like that where I just pretended to fly, and the crown prince pretended to flip, but the conclusion was that I just had to make the gesture of throwing the sword and after that, all I had to do was stay still.
It was such a simple scene… But here, a problem arose.
“It’s okay, right? My wrist just hurts…”
“It’s really okay… But my wrist feels a little sore…?”
“Then we have to go to the hospital quickly…!!”
“Oh, no, it’s not that bad…?”
It was good until the crown prince moved his sword and struck away the sword I had thrown.
After that, the problem started right there when the crown prince came towards me and struck down his sword.
I was still looking at the crown prince who came towards me, or more precisely, at his sword. I thought, ‘Isn’t this going too far?’ And unconsciously pulled out the dagger from my waist.
Then, Chang! I saw the crown prince looking at me with embarrassed eyes and asked, ‘Is this an ad-lib or something…?!’ All I did was spit out the line once with that thought in mind.
There was silence for a while, and filming ended only after the director, who seemed embarrassed, gave a cut sign.
After that… Well, right in front of my eyes, Jo Jin-seong, who was worried about me, was shouting the word hospital dozens of times.
“It’s really okay…”
“Hospital… Hospital… Hospital…”
I think I said dozens of times that it was his hospital and that it was okay, but Jo Jin-seong was still listening to me with one ear and ignoring me with the other.
‘I’ve never made a mistake like this…’
Jo Jin-seong was almost in a state of panic over the fact that he had hurt his co-star.
There have been many times when I’ve pushed my partner mentally through my acting, but this is the first time I’ve made a mistake like this and hurt myself.
* * *
‘I think the ground is too slippery.’
As filming began, Cho Jin-seong thought about this for a moment.
Looking at the shoes he was wearing and the muddy condition of the ground, he could have slipped and crashed if he had done it wrong.
‘As long as you don’t make mistakes, you’ll be fine.’
Jo Jin-seong, who was thinking about this and rubbing his shoes on the ground, ignored it.
I started acting while looking at that little girl, and when I was almost at the end of the sparring scene, the problem I was worried about arose.
Chang-!
In reality, there was nothing visible, but Jo Jin-seong pretended to see a flying knife and swung the knife to deflect it. Then he walked up to the little girl and swung the knife.
Since he had to stop right in front of the little girl, Jo Jin-seong applied his strength as carefully as possible to avoid making a single mistake.
But at that time, he moved his legs to strike his sword, but his feet slipped on the ground.
‘···!, No!’
Jo Jin-seong’s sword, which slipped after stepping on the ground, began to go further than where he had originally intended to hit it.
If the knife goes down any further like this, it will really hit that little girl.
If that happens, that little girl will definitely get hurt.
Even though it was a prop knife made of plastic, the damage was the same.
“!!, I think I slipped…?!”
“What should I do…!!”
The staff could be heard sounding surprised from afar.
However… The path of the gliding sword could not be changed.
Because the tip of Jo Jin-seong’s sword was already falling towards Seohyun.
The little girl didn’t move, as if she thought I would stop the sword right before her eyes.
Looking at Seohyun like that, Jo Jin-seong relaxed his grip on the sword as much as possible to avoid being seriously injured if hit.
If you happen to get hurt, make sure you get hurt less.
Jo Jin-seong’s sword, which was coming down so gently, fell on Seohyun, and some staff members at the scene closed their eyes tightly to avoid seeing Seohyun get hurt.
However, the situation turned out differently than everyone expected.
Chang-!
“···!!”
The little girl quickly raised a dagger and blocked the sword I struck.
Seohyun, who thought she would be hurt by the sword being thrown down, broke everyone’s expectations.
Jo Jin-seong looked at Seohyun, who blocked his sword, with embarrassed eyes.
Seohyun, who received that gaze, grabbed her wrist with an expression that seemed like she was in pain and said.
“You said you wouldn’t kill me, but then you changed your mind?”
Jo Jin-seong began to feel a little joy.
It was a situation where he almost made a big NG by mistake, but he avoided it and even continued with his acting!
However, since I couldn’t show those feelings, I looked at the little girl with embarrassed eyes.
“Big, big!! Okay!!!”
Fortunately, the director gave the OK sign, so I was able to suppress my embarrassed expression.
* * *
Jo Jin-seong did not move from his spot despite the director’s cut sign.
And after that, hospital, hospital, hospital…
As I continued to listen to it like that, I felt like I was going to get neurosis at the word hospital.
At that time, I heard someone calling me.
“Seohyun!!”
“Seohyun!”
I turned my head in that direction to see someone, but my older sister and her manager were running towards me with an urgent voice.
In this large filming location, I only heard that it was Jo Jin-seong’s hospital, and when I heard my sister’s voice, I felt like I could live a little.
I was looking at the two people blankly, wondering why they were running, but as soon as they came towards me, they grabbed my body and turned it around.
“Uhhhhh, wait a minute …”
“Are you okay?!”
“Are you okay?”
I have to answer what the two said, but saying it’s okay now isn’t the problem…
“I, I…”
“Yeah, why me?”
“I’m dizzy…”
“Ah.”
They only relieved me when I said I was dizzy.
I was shaken so hard that my eyes were still spinning.
Barely coming to my senses, I waved my hand and said.
“I’m fine.”
“Jin…”
“It’s really, really okay so stop…”
“It’s really true…”
“Really, really, really, multiply by 1 million, 10 million is okay, so stop…!”
I don’t know how many times I’ve been asked if I’m okay, but if I had said this much, I would have understood.
“Did you just see me? It was so cool!”
“······You really are.”
“Huh? Did I do something wrong?”
“No…”
When I was looking at the two people in confusion.
“Seohyun, are you okay?”
Before I knew it, the director came up to me and asked if I was okay.
I said clearly.
“It’s okay!”
No, I don’t know why everyone is asking me if I’m okay from now on?
Even the staff on set were looking at me with worried eyes.
I’m not the type to be oblivious, so I know that the reason you’re asking me if I’m okay is because of the scene I just filmed.
But why?
Did it seem that dangerous that the main actor was swinging a knife at me, and I was blocking it…?
As soon as filming was over, Jo Jin-seong asked me if I was okay, my sister or manager who quickly approached me and asked if I was okay… And even the director who came to me again and asked me if I was okay.
I think it was because I blocked the knife because it seemed dangerous.
But wasn’t that an ad-lib?
When you say something like that in a situation that isn’t in the script, I know it’s an ad-lib.
So I asked.
“But how did I just do? I think I came out really cool!”
“···Yes? Huh, it seems like Seohyun is a natural actress.”
“Are you a natural actor?”
“There is something like that. More than that, if you’re curious, can I show you?”
“Oh, can you see it?”
“Of course.”
The director motioned for me to follow him, then turned around and started walking somewhere.
The place he arrived was where a certain monitor was placed.
“You can check it here.”
“Aha.”
The director quickly manipulated the monitor and displayed the footage he had just taken on the screen.
The screen swirled past and then my face started to appear.
“Wow…”
I felt embarrassed as my face filled the screen.
On the one hand, I started to feel hopeful.
Anticipation of what I would look like on camera.
