Chapter 230
Chapter 230
They looked at the clock and saw that they had finished earlier than scheduled. Jonathan exclaimed excitedly at the early wrap-up.
Good job, everyone! Lets pack up quickly!
No matter what job it was, leaving work was a happy thing.
The staff quickly gathered the filming equipment that had been installed in the Geunjeongjeon Hall and organized the long wires that had been stretched out.
Seo-jun, who was about to change his clothes, burst into laughter at the sight of the staff moving as if they were about to fly.
Rachel Hill and Evan Block also laughed.
When they came out after changing their clothes, most of the things were already cleaned up.
The staff were meticulous enough to clean up everywhere without any complaints from the Cultural Heritage Administration staff.
Seo-jun smiled at the sight of them picking up everything from the paper with the most important continuity drawn on it to the candy wrappers they ate as snacks.
It seemed that the people who came to Gyeongbokgung Palace today would not be able to find any traces of the Shadowman team.
A little away, director Ryan and Jonathan were talking.
Director Ryan nodded his head and Jonathan ran towards the staff who were finishing up with a bright face.
Seo-jun asked director Ryan.
Whats going on?
He said he wanted to take a picture together. Well, I thought it would be nice to have a souvenir, so I told him to come over if he wanted to take a picture. What do you want to do, Jun?
Sure!
Seo-jun quickly nodded his head at director Ryans question.
It was rare to have a chance to take a picture with the movie staff, especially foreign crew members, with Geunjeongjeon Hall as the background.
It would be a picture that would be mentioned at least once whenever Hollywood movies were filmed in Korea.
I cant miss it as an actor!
There seemed to be many staff who had the same idea as Seo-jun, and the staff who had finished cleaning up gathered in front of Geunjeongjeon Hall one by one.
Evan Block and Rachel Hill, who had changed their clothes and came out, also joined in.
When the actors managers and Korean staff joined in, Geunjeongjeon Hall became crowded.
One of the Cultural Heritage Administration staff who had been watching the Shadowman team from a distance ran outside with his phone in his hand as if he had realized something.
The director should be here for this!
Director Ryan gestured to Jonathan who was operating the camera at that sight.
Then lets take it quickly before the government officials come.
Everyone chuckled at director Ryans words.
It was easier than expected for such a meaningless commemorative photo to become someones great achievement.
Jonathan, holding the camera, shouted loudly.
Then Ill take a picture!
Seo-jun smiled brightly next to director Ryan.
Click!
The bright smile of the Shadowman team was captured on camera.
The shooting of Shadowman 3 in Korea ended today.
***
Seo-jun, Evan Block, and Rachel Hill got into Seo-juns car after leaving Gyeongbokgung Palace.
The other cars that had filled the parking lot of Gyeongbokgung Palace left one by one. The car with the three actors also headed to the hotel.
We have free time until we leave, right?
Its not like were leaving tomorrow afternoon.
The Shadowman team, who had finished everything in Korea, was scheduled to leave Korea by plane tomorrow afternoon and head to LA.
What are you going to do, Evan and Rachel?
Were going to Escape Theme Park.
Rachel Hills eyes sparkled at Seo-juns question.
She handed Seo-jun an A4 paper she had brought with her.
It seemed like she had printed it at the hotel.
[(Recommended) How to Experience Escape Theme Park]
This is supposed to be the most popular experience method in Korea. So Evan and I decided to go see it like this. Director Ryan and Jonathan are also coming.
Isnt Theme Park reservation-only?
Hehehe.
Rachel Hill laughed like a villain. Evan Block scratched his cheek.
Movie Dreams representative invited us. He said he wanted us to stop by Theme Park at least once as a reward for appearing as a cameo.
Thats nice. They made it really well.
I have to see Bird Nest Go Ju Won too!
Hahaha.
Seo-jun laughed at Rachel Hills words.
The model of Go Ju Won where all kinds of birds flocked was now called Bird Nest Go Ju Won.
What are you going to do, Jun?
Im going home for a while.
Subin and Eunsu were coming.
The two babies who were giggling when they met Seo-jun seemed like yesterday, but Subin, who was six years old, and Eunsu, who was five years old, didnt know how much their activity level had increased. But they were still cute siblings, so Seo-jun couldnt help but smile and adore them.
Thats good too.
Oh, Evan. Rachel. Do you want to go see a play tomorrow morning?
A play?
Yes. A theater group I know put up a new work. The plot is quite interesting.
Evan Blocks eyes sparkled at Seo-juns words.
He seemed to be more attracted by the idea of seeing a Korean play performed by Koreans in Korea.
Okay. Lets go.
He looked like he was ready to leave right away, so Seo-jun and Rachel Hill stopped Evan Block.
Tomorrow. Tomorrow.
Now we have to go to Theme Park!
And that evening.
Seo-juns house.
And so, Bom went to Cheongryong-nim
Squeak- squeak-
Seo-jun stopped reading the fairy tale book.
Subin and Eunsu, who had been excited since they met Seo-jun, finally calmed down.
Seo-jun got off the bed and tried to cover the two kids with a blanket, when the door of his room opened slightly.
It was Seo Eun Chan, Seo Eun Sus dad, Seo-juns uncle.
Are they asleep?
Yes.
Phew.
The sigh of relief that came out without knowing was quite big, so Seo Eun Chan quickly covered his mouth.
Seo-jun smiled and covered the two kids with a blanket.
The spacious bed was big enough for the 6-year-old and 4-year-old kids to sleep comfortably.
When he came out with Uncle Chan, the adults were looking only at Seo-juns room.
Seo Eun Chan said.
Sleep well.
Good job, Seo-jun.
You worked hard.
Seo-jun burst into laughter at the sincere words of the adults.
The adults who gathered in the living room after the kids fell asleep talked to each other.
Most of the stories were about Kim Subin and Seo Eunsu. From kindergarten stories to their close friends, and everyday stories.
Seo-jun also enjoyed listening to the stories of his cute siblings.
Subin is going to learn violin from next week.
Kim Hee Sangs words made Seo-jun and his parents, Seo Eun Chan and Kim Su Ryeon, marvel.
Is it her mothers bloodline?
I guess so.
Kim Subins mother, pianist Choi Su Hee, shook her head modestly.
Its because of Seo-jun.
Seo-jun?
Seo-jun blinked his eyes as he was suddenly called out while eating a tangerine.
I showed him Over the Rainbow.
Oh.
Everyone nodded their heads unknowingly at Kim Hee Sangs words.
No one knew how many kids had picked up violin bows after Over the Rainbow was released.
The music academies were filled with kids, and there were even articles about it. It was really amazing.
But didnt Over the Rainbow come out a while ago?
He watched it often before. But this time it was different. He didnt move from his seat until the movie ended.
Kim Subin, who was watching Gray Viney playing on the screen, was mesmerized.
I was worried if he was even breathing.
At Choi Su Hees words, Seo Eun Hye and Lee Min Jun simultaneously thought of a kid who often did the same thing as Kim Subin.
Their son, Lee Seo-jun.
When mom and dad looked at him, Seo-jun, who was peeling a tangerine, tilted his head.
No way. It cant be.
Would a 6-year-old kid decide his future already?
Isnt it okay? He wants to learn.
Kids usually want to imitate something cool they see. Subin might be like that too.
Seo Eun Chan and Kim Su Ryeons words made Seo-jun nod his head as he put a tangerine in his mouth.
Thats right. He might change his mind when he grows up.
At Seo-juns words, the adults looked at Seo-jun. And then they realized.
Right here.
A 6-year-old kid who filmed Shadowman 1 and has been digging only one well of acting ever since, actor Lee Seo-jun.
Subin and Seo-jun are not even siblings How
Will Eun Su be like this too?
Seo Eun Su, who was now 4 years old.
Seo Eun Chan and Kim Su Ryeon were afraid of what would happen two years later when he turned 6.
As bedtime approached, Kim Hee Sangs couple and Seo Eun Chans couple went home. Subin and Eun Su, who were sleeping well, were going to take them home tomorrow morning.
Seo-jun spread a blanket under the bed where Subin and Eun Su were sleeping. He searched for articles about Shadowman 3 on his phone and read the comments.
-Today I went there too. There was not a single piece left. Do they always clean up so well after filming a movie?
=It depends. Some places are messy and some are neat.
=Shadowman 3 probably cleaned up well because of security reasons.
=There were Korean staff too. Who will spoil it for us?
=Welcome to the country of lawsuits, America
=Sorry;;;
Then he received a message from the Shadowman team about Escape Theme Park.
Rachel: Bird Nest Go Ju Won! (A picture of Go Ju Won with a crow on his head)
Evan: I signed in the padded lounge.
The two actors who had seen Seo-juns acting directly were more interested in other things than the zombie experience,
Ryan: You did well.
Jonathan: Scary!! Why is it so scary!?!!
The two directors who had only seen the movie were speechless at the unexpectedly intense zombie experience.
Seo-jun chuckled softly at the reaction of the two directors.
As he sent a message to their impressions, Kim Subin, who was sleeping in Seo-juns bed, was having fun with someone in her dream.
***
Seven years ago, Wind Theater Group, which started to gain fame with the recommendation of Lee Seo-jun and Lee Ji Suk, put up many works on stage starting with Our Neighborhood. The theater group that had only seven members grew so much that there were quite a few actors who appeared in dramas and movies from Wind Theater Group.
Among them, the most famous ones were director Kim Sun Gon, Han Ji Ah, who was the heroine at that time, and Kim Sung Woo, who was the youngest member of the group.
Its nice not to sell tickets outside anymore.
Youve lost your original intention. Youve lost it.
Isnt it a bit too much to call that original intention?
Han Ji Ah and Kim Sung Woo bickered. The members who were preparing for the performance laughed at their usual sight.
Director Kim Sun Gon also thought of the old days suddenly.
If it wasnt for Seo-jun back then, we might have gone bankrupt.
He opened his mouth to say that and the members started to distance themselves from him.
Director is fine and all. But when that story comes up
When that story came up, he would talk endlessly from breakfast that morning to the moment when Lee Seo-jun and Lee Ji Suk left. Han Ji Ah, who saw the members shaking their heads, opened her mouth.
Director. We have to prepare for the performance.
Thats right.
Kim Sun Gon checked the clock and scratched his cheek.
Then
Kim Sun Gon stretched his hand forward.
Han Ji Ah and Kim Sung Woo put their hands on Kim Sun Gons hand familiarly.
The members who had finished preparing also gathered and put their hands on top.
A ritual that had become a jinx for Wind Theater Group since some point.
Our Neighborhood people!!
Fighting!!
***
To watch Wind Theater Groups work Our Neighborhood People, Seo-jun, An Da Ho, Evan Block, and Rachel Hill headed to Eunha Su Center.
Cheongryong-nim!
Rachel Hill, who was wearing a black wig and a hat, ran to the Cheongryong-nim model, spitting out fluent Korean. Seo-jun and Evan Block, who were wearing masks and hats, followed her.
You can line up here.
Thank you.
There was a separate line for taking pictures, which showed how popular the Cheongryong-nim model was.
They also took pictures with Cheongryong-nim and looked around Eunha Su Center and sat in their seats just before the play started.
A moment later.
A beep sound signaled the start of the play and the curtain rose.
Gold bars! Gold bars!!
The play Our Neighborhood People started with Han Ji Ahs scream. It was a story of people in a mansion called Our Mansion who got tangled up with each other trying to get the gold bars that were found in the basement of the mansion.
Evan Block and Rachel Hill, who could understand well even without an interpreter, were immersed in the play. Seo-jun also watched the stage with sparkling eyes.
***
Excuse me. Director Kim Sun Gon. Can I talk to you for a moment?
Oh. Yes.
The members of the Wind Theater Group, who were taking a break for the afternoon performance after the play ended, opened their mouths as they watched Kim Sun Gon, who left the dressing room at the call of the Eunha Su Center staff.
Did you see the audience today? There were some people who were watching very hard, right?
I saw them too. They were very noticeable from the stage.
Right? Maybe they are actors?
They wore masks and hats. They looked like actors.
Maybe they are aspiring actors. Maybe they came to see us because they want to join our theater group.
Maybe! I also watched Winds works very hard because I wanted to join here!
Everyone smiled warmly at the cute new members words.
Then, the door of the dressing room opened. It was Kim Sun Gon.
Director?
Kim Sun Gon, who looked dazed, slowly stepped aside, and a boy wearing a hat and mask appeared. Oh, he was in the audience earlier
The boy slowly took off his hat and mask.
Huh?
Han Ji Ah and Kim Sung Woo felt like they had seen this scene before.
It was seven years ago, the day that changed the fate of Wind Theater Group and the two of them.
Huh, huh?
As the two of them couldnt even utter a word, the members were puzzled when their attention shifted to the back.
Seo-jun smiled and introduced the two people behind him.
Hello. Im Evan Block.
Nice to meet you. Im Rachel Hill!
The appearance of two Hollywood actors made Wind Theater Groups dressing room explode.
