Debut or Die - Chapter 336
If you can’t debut, you’ll die of a disease. Episode 336 The
film production company called Testa to the United States ten days after accepting the offer.
It seems that filming was already in full swing.
‘I think we intervened when the schedule was quite advanced.’
But you even offered a cameo?
I thought this was a gesture of reconciliation and ambition, but I guess I should keep my eyes open for other possibilities.
‘It could be used to feed water.’
I was going to mention that I should prepare my mind, but I didn’t have to.
“Even if it’s just one scene you pass by, you can wait for hours because you don’t know what the order will be. It’s not like I skipped the whole day for nothing.”
“Oh oh.”
“Of course, Hollywood may have a different system, but we will definitely fall behind in our priorities, so consider it… .”
This is because Bae Se-jin is pouring out on-site problems like bombing.
Thanks to that, the atmosphere of ‘I even went out for a movie cameo to refresh myself in the middle of the tour’ was gone. Everyone has an angle of welcoming a new job like a newcomer going out to a meeting.
In the meantime, Bae Se-jin is now trying to fix it.
“… But it could be good! Film acting is definitely attractive!”
The effect was minimal.
“I guess so.”
“I think it’s a different matter than whether we can perform well.”
“… I was an idol too! You can too!”
“It’s hard to generalize because it’s not the case of the same person… .”
“That’s right~ Let’s do our best!”
“… ??”
Kim Rae-bin was blocked and the big Se-jin settled the atmosphere.
‘Well blocked.’
Bae Se-jin seemed to want to convince the end, but that’s it.
I spent some time on the plane looking through the OST materials they sent me.
Of course it’s English.
‘I knew you wouldn’t translate. Because time is running out.’
The agency provided a summary translation, but the quality was not very good. As soon as the label independence ends, I will start by finding a full-time professional interpreter.
Fortunately, Cha Yoo-jin and Seon Ah-hyun gave a briefing, so everyone was familiar with the contents of the movie.
To sum it up, this is it.
[The story of a courier who goes out into space through a naturally occurring warp gate after the earth is half ruined and goes on a dangerous and exciting adventure!] It
only borrowed the sci-fi format, but the actual style seems to be a mix of a western and a hero movie.
‘And the universe system in this earth ruined story is the world view of the < Abandoned Factory > style game series.’
While monitoring < 127 Section >, I checked the words I had seen a few times and the titles that appeared in the new game.
‘I’m a little confused because it’s in English… .’
“If you need a word explanation, I can tell you… .”
“Then thank you.”
“Yes!”
I listened to Seon Ah-hyun’s explanation in the seat next to the plane and matched the structure.
With a cameo, we confirm once more what role we will play.
‘hmm… I want you to pay homage to the game starting characters you collaborated with before.’
It seems to appear briefly in a fight scene.
There is nothing to be prepared for. There was only one ambassador.
I knew it would be like this because the film company bought the copyright for the world view and there is no copyright problem. Because it was an expected draft, I was able to easily organize the effects and side effects in my head.
“… hmm.”
and predict
‘I think I’ll be ridiculed if I’m aloof.’
Isn’t it an overly one-dimensional interpretation and intervention? And makeup is also a concern.
‘There are no Northeast Asians among the main characters.’
It would be difficult to make a good impact even if the 7 of us appeared on the stage at once, but it would be difficult to avoid a sense of incongruity.
“Hmm.”
“Are you dumb?”
“Oh, I want to look at the scenario book.”
I put our entry papers behind and pulled out the screenplay summary again.
The brain went tight.
It was 12 hours before arriving in the US.
* * *
And the United States finally arrived.
We quietly entered and moved privately. Fortunately, nothing special happened as if T1 hadn’t hit Unplea while drinking kimchi soup already.
After that, the first place I entered was… It’s a dajja gojja movie set.
That’s funny.
“uh… Aren’t you going to start with the OST meeting?”
“They said they couldn’t change the set schedule. It is said that the schedule is completely divided into hourly units.”
Certainly, apart from the scale, the scene was quietly and smoothly run by people who took care of their own business.
“… … .”
“… I thought it would be noisy.”
Even Bae Se-jin seemed a little flustered. The person who was attached as a site guide for a while smiled and spoke in Korean.
“This division of labor is unique to Hollywood.”
“Ah yes.”
And after hearing a few words of explanation and saying hello to the assistant director… I started waiting in the trailer.
“… … .”
“Mmm.”
At this point, everyone seemed to have noticed the atmosphere, and even the members laughed bitterly.
“I neglect.”
“I know.”
They take care of blankets and food pretty well, but at least I haven’t even started dressing up yet.
It seems that only our manager and officials are running hard.
‘Does it go as expected.’
It looked like it wasn’t checked properly. It’s a bonus treatment that I’ve never received in Korea since I became a member of the first team. this is fun too
“The manager must be having a hard time~”
“It seems that communication is not going well. Shall I go out and come back?”
It was a time when I was making my own plans while listening to the conversations of some guys.
Cha Yoo-jin, sitting next to her, stabs her in the waist.
“… ?”
What.
When I looked at him, he muttered in an awkward way.
“This is not normal!”
“then?”
“It is bad.”
Cha Yoo-jin continued to speak only in the form of mouth.
‘Pretend not to hear.’
“… !”
[It’s a pretty classic method.]
Oh… therefore.
‘Are you ignoring our staff as if it were unintentional?’
This crossed the fun line.
I crossed my arms.
“The grounds?”
[In Hollywood, actors are basically the best. But look at this treatment. Because that side treats us completely as extras or props, not as actors.]
“… … .”
It’s worth it.
Looking back, I was so concerned about the time schedule, but since we didn’t have a special contract in the contract and we set aside enough time, it’s okay to neglect this much.
“Why, what happened to Eugene?”
“hmm.”
Cha Yu-jin shrugged and looked at me. What is this, translate it to me?
I only briefly talked about reality.
“They seem to be deliberately delaying until the last minute of our last minute before letting us shoot.”
“… ah.”
“Ugh.”
Everyone breathes a sigh, as if they guessed it based on the atmosphere.
Ryu Cheng-wu smiled bitterly.
“It is as Bae Se-jin said.”
“… no. I said this while thinking about the filming in Korea, but here… Things look different.”
Bae Se-jin continued with a firm expression.
“If you’re doing this on purpose… It’s bullying.”
And Kim Rae-bin was astonished.
“… ! Is this racism?”
okay. That’s it.
“Something rushed in… Race or reputation must have played a part in foreigners.”
Because it originally depends on how you treat the work that suddenly pops up in the yard where the schedule is already set.
And in their perception, we don’t seem to have much power.
“… … .”
I snapped my neck and checked the others.
No one is outraged.
Heck, until we sold 1 million copies, it wasn’t like we weren’t treated like this at all.
“It reminds me of < Azusa >.”
“That’s right.”
Crucially, it is because the experience is weaker than the debut program.
He is calm like those who have been through a mess since before his debut. I shrugged.
“It’s a meeting in the evening anyway, so let’s start with the meeting and then talk again.”
I asked the guy who spoke up.
“how is it.”
[If I fall out of here, I couldn’t film it because you guys refused to do it because I skipped the schedule. Would it end up like this in violation of the contract?]
“I guess so.”
“yes!”
Seon Ah-hyun immediately convinced me. Then, the two guys who ate foreign food came to the same conclusion.
“Hmm.”
“Ah, that’s embarrassing.”
Aside from being pissed off, you have an allergic reaction to punk like a guy who likes to work.
“What do you think of Moondaemundae?”
what am i
I crossed my arms.
“I am… I don’t think it’s okay to break the contract.”
“… !”
“It’s not like I’m going crazy because I want to do a cameo.”
I saw Sejin Bae with a hard face.
“Hyung, it would be very sad if his entry into Hollywood was canceled, but… .”
“hey!”
Bae Se-jin was hot. The atmosphere lightened for a moment, but he soon calmed down.
“Even though I don’t want to film in this situation. It’s not even my own name, it’s because I’m using the group name.”
“brother… .”
The past few days, reactions automatically explode from those who know that he has been excited by pretending not to give advice.
“that’s right. It’s a role too small for Sejin to appear.”
“Not like that!”
I chuckled.
“It was a joke. In fact, I don’t think it will go as far as breaking the contract.”
“… ?”
“Why why?”
“These guys will never give up on OSTs.”
“I don’t want to fight that out, so I think I’ll come out quite amicably at the dinner meeting.”
“… !”
If you hear the finished version and say you want to take it out, those bastards are X-scenes.
Even if the people who work in the field and the people who work there are completely divided, even if the treatment here is like this, now the OST people in charge can never joke.
I got bitten once… .
“Rabin Kim made it so well.”
No matter what kind of politics I did with the explanation, it actually worked because I liked the finished version.
“Oh… .”
“As expected, Rabin is a genius.”
“This is an undeserved compliment. I will do my best.”
okay. Take a deep breath and speak. The atmosphere was so organized. In fact, it was as if a conclusion had been drawn.
Big Sejin shrugged.
“then… Are we leaving?”
The members looked back at each other a few times, and soon even Sun Ah-hyun nodded.
“Let’s go.”
“OK~”
At that moment, as if Cha Yu-jin had been waiting, he kicked off the trailer and went out.
“… !?”
Ignore those who look back at what this is all about.
“Let’s start with the manager.”
“yes.”
And we blocked it by saying that we would talk about anything again after the meeting, and we really left the set with the company staff.
The staff just pretended to stop me and followed me.
‘I must have suffered a bit.’
“They say that we will also sue for damages because the tour schedule was disrupted because of the trauma.”
“good.”
Thanks to that, everyone’s fighting power has risen.
Even Bae Se-jin was furious as he entered the hotel.
“We are like that… You don’t have to put up with rudeness. is not it?”
“Yes.”
Besides that.
Actually, from the moment I first guided them to the filming set until the meeting, I planned to persuade them to drag on without filming.
‘On the contrary, it helps.’
I shrugged.
I didn’t even execute the plan, but it’s going smoothly on my own.
‘Thank you, territorial.’
That’s how we escaped the first day’s cameo shoot.
It was the first schedule punk in the Testa group.
* * *
And the meeting spot that night.
Surprisingly, the executive producer of the film production side came out.
‘It’s rare.’
I thought Gaga, the top working staff, would barely come out to work on the OST.
“When the director comes out… Isn’t that right?”
“I heard that the supervisory authority is not that great in this town. You can see that everything is divided.”
“I see.”
It’s a relief that the interpreter didn’t translate even when we were silent.
Afterwards, there was a short exchange of conventional greetings and introductions accompanied by staff dispatched from T1.
The interpreter carefully conveyed the producer’s words.
“They ask if there was a problem with the filming or why you didn’t film it.”
Oh, did the producer come out because of this?
After leaving the filming set, it seems that the report went into T1, and again, it seems that there was something between the people at the top.
I nodded.
“I waited indefinitely without hearing any explanation. The trailer is cold, but if you hurt your neck and can’t go on tour, you can’t do it.”
If you use English here, your vocabulary will be limited, and it will feel like you are adjusting. I don’t think so.
As the interpreter translates these words, the producer nods as if he understands.
And this is what came out
“hmm… He said he was very sorry that things had turned out like this, but it would be nice if they were more respectful of their time as it is almost impossible to reschedule the set… .”
“… !”
what
I was hot from Bae Se-jin.
“No, we are not… .”
“Brother, wait a minute.”
okay. It seems that we misunderstood that we were taking our anger out on a cameo shoot because we were pissed off because we were fooled around with a few keywords during the request.
It was when the atmosphere cooled down.
Suddenly polite English rained down.
[It is absolutely not normal to stand by without any instructions. Also, the words of our staff were not conveyed properly to the assistant director, shouldn’t respect be a mutual relationship?]
“… !”
Seon Ah-hyun spat out a long sentence in English.
His face was pale, but his gaze was determined.
And there was no agreement with anyone.
Big Sejin was amazed.
‘Ahyeon must have been really pissed off.’
‘I know.’
I closed my mouth. The producer seemed a little taken aback, but he didn’t seem angry at Sun Ah-hyun’s words.
On the contrary, it seemed that only then did his head begin to turn toward a proper grasp of the situation.
And after a while, the interpreter opened his mouth again.
“You say that there seems to have been a mutual misunderstanding. He says he will respect your time more on site.”
“… yes.”
Sun Ah-hyun kept her mouth shut. It didn’t look very satisfied, but I slapped him on the back.
‘Good job.’
This is enough to set the mood. Seon Ah-hyun smiled faintly.
And I opened my mouth again.
“Then, let’s do the cameo again on another day and in another scene.”
“… !”
I’ll eat you up to the point where you’re pretending to yield.
