Debut or Die

Chapter 337

If you can’t debut, you’ll get a fatal disease Episode 337

Let’s look at Testa’s previous movie cameo appearances again.

-A role that backs up a supporting character when the main character leads a large-scale battle and then disappears.

‘It’s a perfect composition for homage or parody.’

Looking at the scenario scene roughly, it seems that not only us but also a lot of game characters will appear as if passing by.

‘If I’m guessing, it’s probably right before the climax in the mid-to-late half of the movie.’

However, what would happen if we were the only ones who suddenly jumped out as game characters, neither established actors nor CGs?

Even if you do well, you won’t be able to do it.

If you’re a little clumsy, you’ll become sober.

‘If I go further, I will become a ridicule on the Internet.’

It’s understandable that the director and the field don’t like it. This is clearly a choice made by the production company as a company to company.

And the producer sitting in front of us right now is the head of a working staff located between the production company and the production team.

I have authority, but maybe I am in a position where I can sympathize with the field.

But even now, we have pulled the justification from our side. That person is ready to listen.

‘Seon Ah-hyun set the mood well.’

Now, if it’s possible, I’ll accept the opinion that it’s okay if it’s a red skirt.

So I slowly opened my mouth.

Carrots first.

“We also have no intention of infringing on the set schedule. In the first place, it is impossible because of the tour schedule.”

We’re busy too, kid.

When the interpretation was delivered, the producer nodded quite seriously. I continued talking.

“So, why don’t we proceed simply enough to find out that the testa is out. Our contract has to be fulfilled.”

An interpreter relayed the words of the producer.

“He said let’s proceed to secure the schedule by checking scenes that are as similar as possible.”

Thinking that we are also bowing down, I asked coldly.

I knew it would be, but it wouldn’t be like that.

I laughed heartily.

You can’t appear in a fight scene with that X-like cosplay feeling.

It will come out with a different image.

“It’s okay to make it a little more comfortable because it’s uncomfortable to match it that hard.”

induce

I recalled the scenes I had noticed while reading the summary of the scenario on the plane.

And I picked up one of them.

“How about something like this scene instead?”

It’s because I asked our staff, who wandered around the filming set, as soon as I got home from the hotel.

Among the scenes I filmed, did you hear the staff mention it?

and got one

-Oh this…

-Did you tell me?

-yes. Um, I think after a while this actor said he was using this set?

That’s what this scene is.

A final draft that fits the schedule perfectly.

I held out that page of the summary to the producer.

“It’s more fun for a singer to play the role of a singer. Since we are singers, large-scale battle scenes might look awkward.”

Cuts that can be hit and run with little disruption to the shooting schedule, and at the same time we can use them as images.

go with this

“I don’t have anything specific for you to do, just a few words and inserting the background is all it takes, so I thought you’d feel comfortable using it.”

The producer listened to the interpreter. I looked around a bit.

Since it had been agreed upon at the hotel, there was no particular agitation.

However, Cha Yoo-jin, who was sitting closer to the producer, raised her eyebrows humorously. I felt like I heard something.

‘oh.’

Cha Yoo-jin smiled. I know roughly what you’re talking about.

after a while

“You say you want to hear the story in more detail.”

It was actually an OK sign.

‘yes.’

I shrugged.

And three days later, the afternoon cameo shoot went ahead as planned.

* * *

Late winter morning.

As always on a Hollywood set, the workers know exactly what they are doing.

Even if waiting for them was just a series of things I didn’t want to do with low pay, nothing was different. If it was only for a living, I would have gone to law school, but I wouldn’t be here.

The same goes for the assistant, who is like the feet of the production team. The youngest of the PAs, she barely listened to the briefing while checking coffee on set.

“Do you have extra people?”

It’s a short cameo appearance, but it’s rare that it’s suddenly added on the same day.

When she asked who the ‘exception’ was, the team member answered briefly.

“KPOP star.”

“ah.”

They were foreigners who had left their seats without permission a few days ago.

They don’t know how well known they were in their country, but even she, who knows what KPOP is, didn’t know.

‘VTIC? That’s the only KPOP boy band name I know.’

Thinking of her sister who is crazy about KPOP, she slightly frowned, but soon straightened it.

“Certainly Joan was rude.”

The attitude taken by the assistant director and half of the production team at the time was too much.

It was something you would do to an unknown actor. It’s a different discussion on whether it’s okay to do such a thing because you’re unknown.

“Still, it’s nice to have the guts to leave.”

The words of the team members were ironic.

If you can’t stand it and leave the trailer, you have to give up on being successful in Hollywood.

‘It’s going to be a rough day.’

She sighed after briefly assessing how much of a mess the band would make for her today after leaving the set in one day.

“Is this an extended shoot?”

“30 minutes.”

“uh… We should pray that Steve doesn’t kill anyone.”

“You should pray that it will be short.”

The chat ended quickly. She got a call and started running around the scene again.

The set and effect were extremely realistic thanks to the director this time refraining from CG as much as possible and applying it to the set cost.

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

‘still… What the hell are you going to do here?’

This scene was the beginning of a huge range of worldviews, in which the protagonist, who first arrived on the space station, entered a bar and met a helper.

There was no place for KPOP stars wearing eccentric clothes anywhere.

‘Well, Joan, the assistant director, would know.’

Because he was in charge of managing trivial matters at the filming site. She held back a sigh and moved the desk.

And it was the moment when I was trying to lift a few chairs.

Her feet twisted.

“Ugh.”

It is the wrong step on the floor.

‘oh my god!’

The assistant closed her eyes for a moment, but did not collapse to the floor with the chair.

Instead, someone snatched the chair she was holding.

“Are you okay?”

“… ! iced coffee… yes.”

“My God, what did you carry so much on your back? I see people playing over there.”

It was a lively and relaxed voice.

‘Who is it?’

She was puzzled for a moment, but she stood up from her collapsed body.

And I was surprised.

“Each of us has a job to do… … !”

“Well, that might be right.”

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

And the tall boy, the man carrying her luggage, grinned.

“My job is cameos. nice to meet you. This is Testa.”

“hello!”

The boys of my age who greeted me from behind were quite polite. All had good skin and good looks, but some were too pretty in her eyes.

‘Still, he has a good attitude.’

The concerns I had a few minutes ago disappeared like a joke.

“hello. yes. thank you.”

She thought of something like ‘You speak English well’, swallowed it, and gave a normal answer.

As if he had noticed it, the pink-haired boy behind him opened his mouth with strange eyes.

“This guy is from here. California.”

“Oh yeah.”

Come to think of it, no matter who heard it, it was the accent of this state, so they were more surprised when they looked up.

She looked at the boy who helped her once again.

He has a good body, is relaxed, and has the unique momentum of a well-rounded person.

“You can call me Eugene.”

“Um, that’s right.”

“Wouldn’t it be okay not to eat that delicious sandwich in the trailer today?”

that way of speaking… Definitely from California. Say negative words first and blur them with positive ones. She laughed hard once.

“Maybe. Right now, Joan… I will guide you to the assistant director.”

“thank you!”

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

[Hey, Yujin is so good at talking?]

[I know!]

I don’t know what it means, but it was a bright tone. It doesn’t sound too bad.

‘Did they even increase the amount of cameos?’

What is certain is that the attitude of the assistant director has also changed. Joan suddenly began to treat them with excessive courtesy.

‘What is it?’

In any case, they quickly pre-occupied the set before the main actors who were filming today arrived.

She also moved quickly.

First of all snacks and drinks.

“Where can I take it when it’s all over?”

Instead of their staff, a pink-haired boy glanced back at himself and raised his hand in a short reply.

up?

“thank you. Up there.”

“… ?”

She followed her hand and raised her gaze.

The boy continued with a hard tone.

“We are going to perform.”

oh my god.

Where the hand points… It was a place made for perfection in a corner of the bar.

A small stage in a bar.

They came as performance extras in the background in this scene!

It was absurdly humble.

‘This… Why are you doing this?’

No matter how much they dressed up, the question was whether this crazy set atmosphere would really go well with them.

In the meantime, the filming preparations were steadily progressing, and the boys actually stood on the backstage of the bar after a camera test.

‘I’ll deal with the sound in hindsight anyway, so I’ll just have to pretend.’

They adjusted the mics and even had one actually sit down at the keyboard. There was also a boy who asked about the use of the bizarre space instrument.

And the moment when filming actually started in a quiet scene with no expectations.

Ugh~

The pub set is dark and mirror balls and luminous lights are flashing. -A

rich sound echoes from the microphone, not for singing

black hole songs.

“… !”

The amazing tones formed a harmony, and the accompaniment poured in like lasers or starlight.

But it wasn’t elegant. A textured sound like randomly drawn crayons jumped out.

An addictive song with a fast beat suitable for a kitschy space opera. And a band that sings in a rather rebellious manner on a narrow stage.

-Let me swallow it

All of that melted into the atmosphere of a grotesque pub faithfully showing off the face of a sci-fi back alley.

A talent for seizing the moment.

“… … .”

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

‘It’s hard to reject a team like that.’

They were meant to be flagships in light of the fact that they weren’t formed as a team in the first place, just an ad-hoc group of survival survivors.

Anyway, the OST performance, which was arranged in just two minutes, made not only her, but also quite a few workers in a daze.

In the heightening parts and climax, there were even staff members who were watching and slightly shaking their bodies without realizing it.

Took.

“thank you.”

It added its own status to the leisure of those who say hello after the end. It was a really popular celebrity-like posture.

‘… It was unexpectedly great.’

Besides, they didn’t look at the camera until the end. It was a skillful preparation for the film.

So it was even more pitiful.

‘Everything will be edited anyway… !’

The odds of reviving this performance in a movie were nil. It’s because it’s so out of the blue and it’s an external factor. o

This was taken as a candidate to be revealed behind the scenes at best!

She somehow felt that it was the most unfair.

I can understand why they chose this as a cameo scene, but it was unfortunate that they made a mistake because they didn’t know much about this field.

“phew.”

It was just a futile worry.

It’s because the parties didn’t even have such expectations in the first place.

What they were aiming for wasn’t simply because the performance looked great and was featured in a movie.

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

“Mmm.”

“You’re not filming any more shows, are you?”

“Looking at the atmosphere, I think so.”

Park Moon-dae, who fell off the microphone, opened his mouth to Bae Se-jin among the members waiting for the next cut.

“Hyung, now show off your acting skills as a genius child actor.”

“go for it!”

“There is no need to feel burdened, but we want you to know our deep faith and trust!”

And Bae Se-jin nodded earnestly, putting the past days when he reacted with something like, “It’s a single line of dialogue, but it sounds like some guy’s ability to control the camera.”

“… okay!”

“Oh oh!”

‘I was immersed.’

Park Moon-dae judged Bae Se-jin’s condition.

While refusing the water provided by the staff, Bae Se-jin just changed her gown with calm eyes.

And after a while, the ‘real’ cameo shoot that took place after the actors joined.

“… !”

The youngest assistant completely understands why the KPOP band chose this on the spot.

confused at the same time.

‘That person… Why are you in a boy band?’

* * *

Two months after that.

The tentatively edited internal blind preview of this film was first shown, and Testa’s editing volume did not diminish despite the feedback from this preview.

However, rumors spread and speculation articles began to appear in Korea as well.

[“The worldview of Korean games” Limestone’s new movie… A KPOP idol appeared]

The match was about to run out on the well-dried firewood.
