Entertainment Life With A Camera-Chapter 170:

Chapter 170

Z-Day. (5)

Director Park had a desire for a one-take shot ever since he received Ian’s footage from the action director.

“Ian, how about doing this in one take?”

He proposed it, but he didn’t have much hope. There were many actors who would use stunt doubles or protect their bodies. And since he was an idol, he would have many dance performances in the future, so he thought he would refuse because of the risk of injury.

“One take? I want to try it.”

Contrary to his worries, Ian showed enthusiasm and excitement. But the problem was his agency.

“Without a double? I can’t allow that.”

“Dongsoo hyung, I want to do it.”

Fortunately, he persuaded his agency by insisting that he wanted to do it, and it was barely settled.

Director Park was spending a lot of money on production costs, and he was meeting all the demands of BHL Entertainment. Ian was practicing his moves in the center of the set, and the medical staff were waiting in the corner.

But when he saw him rehearsing, he felt a slight regret that he might have pushed him too hard.

“Isn’t this too difficult?”

Director Park’s words made the action director, Jung Dongjun, chuckle. He was already protecting his kid.

“Director Park, you were happy when you received the practice footage.”

“That’s true, but…”

Director Park was half excited to film the scene he wanted, and half worried about what if Ian got hurt.

“Did you teach him properly? Like how to fall.”

“I taught him the basics well. He followed well too. He’s different because he’s done some exercise. He’s a sponge, a sponge.”

Director Park felt a little relieved after hearing Jung Dongjun’s words.

“Ian, are you ready?”

“Yes!”

“Then, let’s start filming.”

As the smoke spread around, the director shouted the cue sign.

Ian, who had turned into Kim Junhee, put on the mask that was tied to his waist and fixed the gun in his hand.

The smoke hadn’t cleared yet, but Kim Junhee detected the soldiers and shot at them. His shoulder was pushed back by the recoil.

“Team leader, it’s K!”

“I know! Shoot!”

The smoke cleared, and the soldiers fired their guns at Kim Junhee’s mask.

Kim Junhee bent his body to avoid the bullets and shot his pistol. One of the soldiers who was hit by his bullet fell down.

“Argh!”

“Team leader!”

“Keep shooting!”

The soldiers wasted their bullets at the sudden appearance of the wanted criminal, and when they changed their magazines, Kim Junhee quickly jumped over the desk and kicked another soldier.

“Argh!”

The soldier flew away from his kick. Of course, Kim Junhee also hit the floor.

It seemed like he hit hard, but Kim Junhee, who wore a half-mask that only covered his eyes and nose, had a playful smile on his face as if he was winning a game.

‘He doesn’t hesitate to throw his body.’

He exaggerated the recoil when he shot the gun, and he also fell when he kicked, considering the movements of the zombies in the work.

He got up with a groan and kicked the desk and jumped on another soldier’s shoulder and slammed him to the ground.

‘Good, this is it.’

There was not a single hesitation in Ian’s light and agile movements. Director Park clenched his fist.

“This bastard!”

Kim Junhee faced the soldier who was called the team leader. The team leader, who had used up his magazine, took out a knife and ran towards Kim Junhee.

Ian dodged it by leaning his upper body back and threw a punch, engaging in a fierce fight.

They exchanged blows, and the team leader stabbed Kim Junhee’s shoulder. It was a fake knife for filming, but the actor pushed it with force, and Ian’s shoulder was pushed back so realistically that the Awi members who were watching flinched.

‘Ouch… It hurts. It’s going to bruise.’

It was a model knife, but it didn’t mean that there was no shock at all. He lost his immersion for a moment because of the pain, but he couldn’t stop acting in the middle.

Kim Junhee, who deliberately gave his shoulder, grabbed the team leader’s wrist tightly.

“Ugh…”

The team leader groaned. Kim Junhee pushed him to the wall.

“Hello? I’ll take Na Woo-shin.”

Kim Junhee greeted the camera attached to the team leader’s helmet. Then he punched the team leader’s face. The helmet was supposed to be distorted by CG work.

Kim Junhee looked around the quiet office and smirked.

“Cut!”

The director’s cut sign rang, and Ian exhaled his rough breath and took off his mask.

Director Park spoke to Ian, who came to see the monitor.

“Ian, can you do more?”

“Yes.”

Ian felt a sting in several parts of his body, but he answered without hesitation.

“Did I make a mistake?”

“No, you were perfect. I just thought it would be better to shoot more.”

It wasn’t enough for one person to do well. The coordination with the stuntmen was also important. Especially for a long take scene like this, it was rare to finish it in one shot.

“Hey, water.”

“Thanks.”

Kim Joo-young handed Ian a bottle of water instead of his manager. Ian almost emptied the bottle and wiped his sweat with a towel that Park Seo-dam gave him.

“Thank you.”

“Are you okay? It looked like you hit hard earlier.”

Kim Hyun squinted his eyes and examined Ian’s expression. The other members gathered around Ian.

“Take care of yourself. Don’t say you can’t if you’re hurt.”

“That’s right, hyung. You know our group is the priority, right?”

The director felt awkwardly stabbed by the members’ sharp words and smiled nervously.

“No, I’m fine. I can do it.”

In fact, he wasn’t fine. He felt pain where he had collided, as if bruises had formed already.

[Did it come out well?]

‘Yeah?’

If the picky Jin said it came out well, then it really did. Ian watched the monitor with the stuntmen who had just shot the scene with him.

“Wow. It really came out well.”

“Ian is good.”

“It’s because the director choreographed the action well.”

Even without any screen effects and sound effects, the action had a sense of speed.

‘It’s good, right?’

He didn’t care about the pain in his body when he saw the result. Just like the director, Ian also felt a desire to do better.

After a brief discussion, the stunt team leader decided to do the scene himself.

“Action!”

Ian shot the same long take scene three more times and took off his mask, slightly frowning. His whole body felt sore from throwing himself around.

“Doesn’t Ian-hyung look hurt?”

Ian grimaced slightly from the pain, and the members noticed his expression change. The director called the medical staff after hearing Park Seo-dam’s words.

“Ian, if you feel uncomfortable, tell me right away.”

“Yes, I’m fine for now.”

While Ian sat next to the director and watched the monitor, the medical staff checked his upper body. As expected, there were bruises all over, but Ian showed no sign of pain and stared at his image on the screen with a serious expression.

“He’s working hard.”

Kim Joo-young muttered. The other members nodded blankly.

“Doesn’t the atmosphere look amazing?”

“Ian-hyung doesn’t seem like himself.”

The Awi members felt unfamiliar with Ian, who was immersed in the shooting. Ian was not a member of the same group, but a single actor.

‘I don’t want to fall behind.’

The members felt a sense of improvement rather than jealousy as they watched Ian. freewe bnovel.com

After finishing the long take scene perfectly, it was time for the wire scene. Ian wore a wire around his waist and practiced again.

There was tension in the set. The staff moved back a bit. The Awi members, who sensed the change, followed the staff and moved away from the set.

“Please move back more, we’re going to shoot an explosion scene.”

“Explosion?”

“Yes, all of that.”

“You’re not going to use CG?”

“No.”

The members backed away quickly after hearing the staff’s words.

“Isn’t that dangerous?”

The members prepared for the upcoming explosion scene by covering their ears.

“Let’s go. Ready, action!”

Under the watchful eyes of the safety officers, the shooting began in a tense atmosphere.

Kim Jun-hee installed bombs all over the office and jumped out of the window without hesitation.

‘I have to keep my balance.’

The building that was Naushin’s office exploded with a loud noise, and Ian, who had a wire around his waist, landed on the ground. Contrary to his worries, it was a perfect landing.

Dust flew everywhere. At that moment, one of the flying debris grazed Ian’s cheek.

‘Oh, damn.’

The director raised his hands and touched his head.

It was only a harmless piece of styrofoam, but the problem was that it grazed near his eye.

‘This can’t be.’

Director Park almost let out a loud sigh.

It was a scene where they had to blow up the set they had worked hard on. That’s why they had to redo the whole thing if there was even a second of a glitch, but it was unrealistic.

“Good.”

Director Park swallowed his regret, but contrary to his worry, Ian stared straight ahead without blinking.

He smiled broadly as he confirmed that through the screen.

Kim Jun-hee walks away with the collapsing building behind him. His movements were sluggish, but he had a presence.

“Cut!”

“Wow, he’s amazing.”

“He nailed it. Really.”

The members who were watching him exclaimed quietly. Park Dong-soo quietly approached them.

“Guys, let’s go. It’s not good to stay here for too long.”

“Yes.”

The members followed Park Dong-soo out of the set without a word. Lee Joo-hyuk left a message in the chat room that he would go first and got in the van.

“Ian was cool.”

Lee Joo-hyuk spoke softly after a long silence in the car.

“Hyung, teach me how to make a music cloud account.”

“Music cloud? It’s easy, you just need an email, right?”

Park Jin-hyuk answered Kim Joo-young’s question.

“Oh, wait.”

There were netizens who searched for music cloud IDs on search engines and dug up the past, so Lee Joo-hyuk added.

“Use a new email, not the one you use. There are people who dig up your ID.”

“Wow, right. I got my old post exposed, remember?”

“Really?”

Park Jin-hyuk was a witness. He had created a music cloud account with his old ID without thinking, and someone had found the posts he had uploaded in the past with that ID.

“I found it!”

“What is it, let me see.”

“No, don’t look!”

Park Jin-hyuk tried to snatch Park Seo-dam’s phone, but they had already seen his dark history. In the photo, young Park Jin-hyuk was taking a selfie in the bathroom mirror with a crooked pose.

“Crazy. Rap my Soul, he says.”

“Rap my soul~”

“Hey, stop it!”

Park Seo-dam and Kim Hyun teased Park Jin-hyuk and giggled. Park Jin-hyuk felt ashamed as his past history was exposed and his face turned red.

“Why do you want a music cloud account all of a sudden?”

In the midst of the noise, Lee Joo-hyuk asked Kim Joo-young.

“Just, it’s time to make one, right?”

“That’s true.”

“I have to work hard. Ian is working hard too.”

Kim Hyun, who was listening, snorted.

“From what I see, you’re working harder than Ian.”

“True.” fr eeweb novel

Kim Joo-young nodded. He had been trying to do something since the team’s hiatus, but he realized that being an idol was all about dancing and singing well.

“I think it’s better to do my main job well when I see Ian acting.”

“That’s true.”

“We haven’t done our study lately, right? Shall we start from today?”

“Call.”

As they ignited the members’ enthusiasm, Park Jin-hyuk slumped his shoulders. He had been in the business for a few years, but still like this?

“Hey, I want to slack off.”

Wouldn’t it be nice to live a life of ease when he had accumulated some years?

Of course, Park Jin-hyuk knew that he was being dragged by the members and working hard, so Park Dong-soo, who was listening, smiled deeply.
