Superstar From Age 0

Chapter 733

[(Good) Shadow of the Dark Elf (Intermediate) is activated.]

[(Good) Shadow of the Dark Elf (Intermediate)]’s rank is temporarily lowered.]

[(Good) Shadow of the Dark Elf (Low-Intermediate) is activated.]

And then, the weakly activated ability returned to its original state.

[(Good) Shadow of the Dark Elf (Intermediate) is activated.]

Gradually more intensely.

As if playing the climax of a majestic song, the energy of goodness that flowed from Seo-jun became stronger and stronger, imprinting an impact on the awakening of ‘Night Jin’.

Moreover, although he was not flustered, the quality of the current situation, where the rank fluctuated according to Seo-jun’s will, was better than the full shot cut, where the rank had risen regardless of Seo-jun’s will.

“Cut! Okay!”

Director Jonathan’s voice was bright.

Actor Seo-jun Lee turned coincidence into inevitability, and while taking a bust shot, he gave the same, no, bigger impact as the full shot, making cheers and applause flow from the staff and actors.

Seo-jun, who greeted him lightly, also smiled happily.

‘I could use it like this!’

Until now, he had only reduced the ranks of the evil abilities that used ‘magic’ for fear of affecting the actors and staff who were filming together, and the audience who would watch the work, but he didn’t know that he could use it for good abilities as well.

He thought it would be nice to use this method in the future.

‘Of course, to leave this kind of impact on the work, I need a scene that suits the main character role.’

It would break the balance of the work if he used it in a scene that was not very intense, let alone the main character.

Seo-jun, who thought that the balance of the whole work was more important than his own presence, thought so.

‘But it’s good.’

He smiled broadly at the thought of finding a new way to help his acting.

“We’ll prepare for the close-up shot!”

At Matthew’s assistant director’s shout, the camera and lights moved above the set. It was to shoot the last shot of the day, the close-up shot.

In the meantime, Seo-jun, who had previously worn ‘Night Jin’s hero suit’ and filmed a full shot and a bust shot, sat down on the actor’s waiting chair, lowered the black mask that covered his lower jaw from his nose to his neck, and moistened his throat with water.

Choi Tae-woo, who handed Seo-jun a cool water, filmed him with a camera. Seo-jun, who was sitting there, burst into laughter at the sight.

“Did Da-ho hyung tell you to film?”

“Yeah. He said it might be useful later.”

The ‘Night Jin’ (now Seo-jun) who wore a sharp uniform and a cloak was sitting on a chair and resting comfortably.

It would be a sight that the future fans of Night Jin would really want to see.

“Then please take a cool shot. Manager.”

“Okay. Actor.”

Seo-jun, who smiled and spoke, Choi Tae-woo also smiled and replied.

And then, as if he was not a manager but a fan, he pressed the shutter with a clatter!

After a short preparation time, the close-up shot filming began.

Seo-jun, who raised his mask to his nose again, headed to the set above.

The long and wide cloak seemed to interfere with the movement, but since he had acted wearing ‘Jin Natra’s uniform’, Seo-jun walked very naturally, waving his black cloak.

The staff, who had prepared large and small fans to make the cloak flutter (they hadn’t used it once today), scratched their foreheads.

“He hasn’t even started filming yet… He’s even helping with the wind.”

“That’s right.”

The close-up shot filming, which was helped by the weather, began.

“Ready, action!”

At Director Jonathan’s voice, the ‘Night Jin’ wearing the hero suit was captured in the camera lens held by James Landon, the director of photography, and other cameramen.

Thump- Thump-

Two feet walking forward without hesitation. Sharp uniform pants.

A right hand holding a sword. A shoulder badge that fixed the fluttering cloak.

A mask that stretched from the long neck to the nose. A sculptural appearance, even though the lower jaw was hidden.

“Let’s go, Jay. Partner.”

And the black eyes shining with conviction and the black hair that fluttered slightly in the wind.

They were familiar scenes that they had filmed several times, but they still looked at Seo-jun Lee on the set with admiring expressions.

How much so that the actors who had finished filming, the staff and stuntmen who had finished their work, were still watching Seo-jun Lee’s acting.

Among them was actor Kirk Lawrence, who thought ‘work is just work.’, who came to work just in time for his filming time and left as soon as the filming was over.

Kirk Lawrence, who should have left before Seo-jun’s solo filming, had been watching Seo-jun’s acting until now. Not only that, but he was watching the filming of the same scene that was repeated several times.

‘…Why?’

It was a situation that he didn’t understand himself.

He didn’t like acting enough to watch other actors’ acting with interest, and he wasn’t a fan of Shadowman or Jin Natra enough to watch the filming scene like this.

Kirk Lawrence wondered about himself, and when someone blocked his view, he moved a few steps to secure his view. Seo-jun Lee finished filming in one take without NG, so it was over if he missed it.

‘…Hmm.’

Kirk Lawrence, who felt unfamiliar with his own thoughts, scratched his chin awkwardly.

‘Is it because of the cookie?’

Yeah.

It might have been because of the almond cookie he had given him before filming.

‘I received a cookie, so I should watch the filming end. It’s polite.’

He didn’t know when Hollywood had such a courtesy.

Kirk Lawrence thought so and looked at Seo-jun Lee.

No, Jin Natra, who looked more villainous than a villain.

William, who was ordinary but bright.

And Night Jin, who was heroic.

He felt restless in his heart at the sight of the actor who perfectly played the characters of various personalities.

“Ah! It’s over!”

“Do you want some orange juice?”

“Yes. Thank you. Tae-woo hyung.”

Seo-jun, who took the midterm exam online and finished the report, raised his arms as if he was cheering and sprawled on the table. He was whining like a slimy slime.

Choi Tae-woo smiled and put a glass of cool orange juice on the table. He looked like an ordinary college student at times like this.

“Are you okay with the final exam?”

“It’ll be fine then. The filming will be over.”

According to the [Shadow and Knight] filming schedule, all filming was scheduled to end at the end of May. Judging by the current filming speed, it would end sooner rather than later.

It’s May now.

Seo-jun, who was drinking orange juice, frowned.

“It’s only a month left for filming. It was so much fun. I’m sad.”

“But if the filming doesn’t end, the movie won’t come out.”

“That’s true.”

Seo-jun, who was frowning, brightened up in an instant at Choi Tae-woo’s words, who had a very good grasp of Seo-jun.

He enjoyed filming, but he also enjoyed watching the movie that was edited by the director and finished with CG work, and seeing the audience marvel, be moved, and be shocked by the movie.

“This time, the reaction will be huge, right?”

“It will be huge in many ways.”

The actor, who had contributed to the synopsis full of chaos, destruction, and despair, laughed at the manager who shook his head.

“Oh, the props team sent something. They want you to evaluate it by tomorrow morning.”

“Really?”

Seo-jun’s eyes sparkled as he gulped down the orange juice and jumped up from his seat. Choi Tae-woo, who was looking at him as if he was going to collapse…! smiled and brought a box.

The box placed on the table.

Seo-jun opened the box that Choi Tae-woo had already torn open. There was a black sword wrapped in paper cushioning.

It was the sword that would be Night Jin’s main weapon.

After the movie came out, it was planned to be sold as a toy or a figure, so the design was good.

‘The problem is…’

Choi Tae-woo looked at Seo-jun who reached out his hand to the sword handle.

Seo-jun took out the sword from the box and examined it with a sharp look.

He flipped it back and forth, checking the surface, and lifted it up to his eyes to check the balance. Then he moved to an empty place and swung the sword up and down, left and right.

Every movement was as skillful and meticulous as a blacksmith with decades of experience.

“…How is it, Seo-jun?”

Choi Tae-woo felt as if he was more nervous.

“Hmm.”

[(Good) The Teachings of the Old Egosword] engraved on Seo-jun’s body said. Seo-jun agreed.

Seo-jun shook his head.

“The weight center is a little off.”

It was the seventh rejection.

***

“Another rejection…!”

At the seventh rejection, the props team leader banged his head on the workbench. It was loud enough to make a thud.

“But this time, he said it was a little off. Compared to when he first said ‘I can’t use this.’, it’s much better.”

Grrr…!

There were groans as if they had been hit by a critical attack from all over.

The day when the props team brought the ‘Night Jin’s main weapon’ with a bright smile.

Actor Seo-jun Lee swung it a few times and said with a very sorry expression,

‘I’m sorry. I can’t use this.’

And then, he talked about the shortcomings as if he was a blacksmith or a person who had used a sword for decades.

The props team had a blank expression and could only say ‘Yes, yes. That’s right.’

“He said it with a really sorry expression.”

“But he was firm.”

“Right. It was more shocking because he was sincere.”

That’s how they got their first rejection.

And the props team’s hard work began.

“Maybe we should have just used the fourth one?”

When they got the fourth rejection, Seo-jun seemed to have felt sorry and said ‘But I think this is okay. I’ll use this.’ But his expression was full of regret. The props team leader boldly shouted that he would make it again.

“No way! It’s Night Jin’s weapon!”

“It’s our William’s weapon!”

“It’s Jin Natra’s weapon!!”

The team members jumped up at the team leader’s words. Their eyes were burning.

How could they give up in the middle.

Of course, the team leader, who was a fan of Seo-jun Lee, agreed.

“Then…”

The props team leader got up from his seat.

“Shall we start again!”

“He said the weight center was a little problem, right?”

“He said everything else was fine…”

They started a meeting with a touched expression, eating the snacks and drinks that Seo-jun had sent.

***

After filming the awakening scene of Night Jin, the filming of the battle scenes of [Shadow and Knight] began in earnest.

Since there were a lot of action scenes that required mechanical devices such as wire filming and aerial action scenes, most of the scenes were planned to be filmed indoors for safety and flashy action.

The filming set mixed with green chroma key, with the cathedral and scenery made by the large screen ‘The Volume’ as the background.

As Seo-jun, who changed into Night Jin’s hero suit, entered, Director Jonathan ran excitedly and looked at the black sword in Seo-jun’s hand.

“Is it finished?”

“Yes. Do you want to see it?”

Director Jonathan nodded his head repeatedly and received the ‘Night Jin’s sword’ from Seo-jun.

“This is the sword that was chosen by Seo-jun after seven rejections…”

At the time of synopsis production, Director Jonathan, who had been torn apart by Seo-jun, looked at the sword with watery eyes, understanding the props team’s feelings.

“It makes me sound like a very strict person.”

“You are, a very strict person.”

He said firmly,

“The props team must know how much I was torn apart now…”

As Director Jonathan started to complain, Seo-jun laughed.
