Chapter 325:

Milan Chellen smiled slightly as he watched the waiter leave the private room with a bit of excitement.

I bet the news that were here will spread like wildfire.

I know, right?

The actors and the director exchanged various stories as they ate.

They admired how Andrew handled his fork and knife with grace (his dad was proud) and asked Seo-jun how the filming in Korea was.

Seo-jun answered with ease, as it was a question he got every time in both Korea and America.

Davis Garret took a sip of red wine and said.

Evan and Rachel did a cameo, right? Let me know if you have a good script next time. I think it would be a good experience to film abroad.

Haha. Sure.

The Korean directors would have been shocked to hear such a conversation.

They talked happily about their past or recent works, and time flew by.

What do you want for dessert?

At his dads question, Andrew hesitated between chocolate and ice cream. Seo-jun noticed and smiled.

Andy, do you want to split half and half?

Can I?

Sure.

Andrew smiled brightly and nodded vigorously.

Andrews dad smiled at the close relationship between his son and Seo-jun.

When the dessert came out and Seo-jun and Andrew split the chocolate and ice cream, Davis Garret opened his mouth.

You all probably know this, but Im going to do a lot of ad-libs when I film.

Milan Chellen, who had worked with him before, just smiled, and Seo-jun and Vanessa looked at Davis Garret with a bit of nervousness.

Andrew didnt know what it meant and blinked.

The director gave me permission, so I hope you all can go along with me.

Jeffrey Rodek nodded his head. He was curious.

What kind of improvisation Davis Garret was talking about.

Um. Does that mean we can also say lines that are not in the script?

At Seo-juns question, Davis Garret nodded his head without hesitation.

Of course. Im going to ad-lib, but if the other characters stick to the script, it wont make sense. Of course, Im not going to act recklessly. Ill cover you if youre having trouble.

Davis Garret smiled meaningfully.

Just try to act your character as freely as you can. Youll see what its like to not be bound by the script. Its rare to have such an opportunity where the production company and the director both allow it.

Freely.

Everyone in the room felt their hearts pounding.

***

Seo-jun had a good time and returned to his accommodation, where Kim Jong-ho and manager Kim Sang-woo had arrived.

Did you have fun?

At Kim Jong-hos question, Seo-jun smiled broadly and nodded his head.

Yes. Did you enjoy sightseeing?

I think I walked around too much. Sang-woo already passed out. Thats why I told him to exercise more. Hes younger than me

Seo-jun chuckled at Kim Jong-hos shaking his head.

Kim Jong-ho had been traveling around LA during the day and practicing with the script of [Survivors] at night.

He had so few lines and scenes that he should already know them by heart, but he read them until the script was worn out.

Take it easy.

I am taking it easy. I only look at it at night, what are you talking about.

Kim Jong-ho flipped a page of the script and opened his mouth.

When I first got a role with lines, I was really looking at it all day long. I still remember that line. It reminds me of those days. Back then, coming here was my dream

The middle-aged actor who was about to fulfill his dream closed his mouth for a moment and looked at the young actor who made it possible.

What kind of luck did he have to meet such a good actor?

He remembered the boy who was fidgeting next to him when he filmed My Royal Physician.

Im glad I switched seats then.

Kim Jong-ho smiled softly and opened his mouth.

Seo-jun. Im going to SEA SAVER Center tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?

Yes. Sure.

Seo-jun readily agreed to Kim Jong-hos offer.

He was planning to go there anyway to infuse mana into the symbols he engraved on SEA SAVER Center and SEA SAVER.

I didnt think Id come here so soon.

He hoped everyone was doing well.

***

It was December, and [Survivors] began filming.

But Seo-jun and Kim Jong-ho didnt start filming right away.

Since there were five main actors, they had to film their stories first.

First of all,

They filmed the story of Raymond Wish, played by Davis Garret.

Wish family, were starting filming!

At the assistant directors shout, the director and the planning team leader swallowed their saliva.

They didnt know when and where Davis Garrets improvisation would pop up, as they had written in the contract and told him at the dinner a few days ago.

Ready Action!

The director, Jeffrey Rodek, shouted action with a heart that seemed to thump.

And fortunately, although some of the lines were different, they were able to film the overall atmosphere similar to the script.

Next, they filmed the story of Jackson Miller, played by Milan Chellen.

Miller family, were getting ready for filming!

Milan Chellen and his family of actors appeared in the bustling shopping mall.

Unlike Davis Garrets filming, which was tense, Milan Chellens part was exactly as the script, so the director and the planning team leader were able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Hm?

Whats wrong?

No, nothing.

The director tilted his head with a strange feeling, even though it was a neat filming.

The next filming was the story of Cynthia Lindberg, played by Vanessa Olsen.

Shopping mall staff! Gather up!

They filmed Cynthia Lindberg, who worked as a guide at [Galleria Mall], which was the background of the movie, and then they filmed the story of Ian Weaver, played by Andrew Walker.

Weaver family! Were starting rehearsal!

At the staffs call, Andrew Walker, who was sitting with his mom and dad, jumped out of his chair.

He put down his crumpled script on the chair and turned around.

Ill be back!

He ran off without looking back, as if he wasnt scared of his first filming.

The Walker couple sighed and smiled wryly.

Isnt our son too brave?

Its so cute how he shrinks in front of Jun.

I wish I could see it!

Just like Seo Eun-hye and Lee Min-jun did before, they took pictures of Andrew Walker rehearsing.

And finally, they were going to film the story of Lee Hyun-woo, played by Seo-jun Lee.

Acting as the father of Lee Hyun-woo, Kim Jong-ho only had a brief appearance in the story of Lee Hyun-woo that was being filmed at that time.

From then on, it was entirely the stage of the five lead actors.

Time flew by,

and the day of Seo-juns filming came.

The setting of [Survivors] was a shopping mall called Galleria Mall, which did not exist in the real California, with a movie theater, a restaurant, a small amusement facility, and hundreds of stores from the basement level 2 to the 5th floor above ground.

Seo-jun got out of the car and looked around the filming site.

The staff who were running around with costumes or props and the staff who were busy moving equipment for filming such as lighting machines looked similar, but it felt unfamiliar and new just because it was not a Marina Studio but a Bearound filming site.

This way, please.

When Kim Jong-ho, manager Lee Sang-woo, and Seo-jun were looking around with a new feeling, a staff member came out to guide them inside after contacting Ahn Da Ho.

Jeffrey, the director, and the planning team leader, who seemed to be waiting at the door, greeted Seo-jun and Kim Jong-ho with their camera lenses.

The two actors smiled when they saw the camera.

This camera must be filming the making film for Korea promotion that they heard at the accommodation.

They are all smart.

Thats right.

The two actors exchanged glances and shook hands with Jeffrey.

Thank you for your hard work today. Jun. Kim.

Thank you for having us.

Well do our best!

Seo-jun and Kim Jong-ho greeted Jeffrey and the planning team leader and looked around the set.

Manager Lee Sang-woo also followed behind them with curious eyes.

The camera followed them.

There was nothing but surprises inside the studio. Lee Sang-woo exclaimed with his mouth wide open.

/Hyung. This is really amazing./

/I know./

They couldnt help but admire the set that looked like a part of a huge shopping mall that had been cut out with a knife.

And it wasnt just one or two stores, but a fairly large set.

/Are these products on display real?/

/Probably not./

/But they look like real products./

Not only the background of the set, but also the products inside seemed to shine brightly.

It felt like they were in a real shopping mall wherever they looked.

/So theyre going to destroy this place?/

/Hollywood scale is no joke./

Seo-jun also felt sorry for destroying such a nice set as Kim Jong-ho and Lee Sang-woo said.

It looks like they worked really hard on it.

/Uncle. Are we really going to break this? We can do it with CG, right?/

/Or maybe they have prepared another set./

Seo-jun and Lee Sang-woo nodded at Kim Jong-hos opinion. That seemed more likely.

Kim. Can you spare me a moment?

Ah, yes.

As they were looking around the set, one of the staff called Kim Jong-ho.

Im from the costume team. Can you try this on? We got it according to your size, but some of the others said it was too small. If theres nothing that fits among the spare costumes, we have to get it right away.

Okay.

Kim Jong-ho nodded his head as if he understood some of what he heard thanks to his studies.

/Uncle. Should I go with you?/

/Its okay. I just have to say if it fits or not. Sang-woo, you stay here too./

/Yes./

Kim Jong-ho headed to the dressing room with the costume team staff.

They must have seen enough of the set, so Seo-jun and the two managers sat down on the prepared chairs and waited for Kim Jong-ho.

/But what kind of clothes are they?/

/Hmm. Should I go and see?/

Manager Lee Sang-woo, who was a little anxious about leaving his actor alone, quickly headed to the dressing room.

And then he came back shortly after with a chuckle.

Seo-jun and Ahn Da Ho tilted their heads at Lee Sang-woos unexpected reaction.

/Uncle Sang-woo. What kind of clothes are they that make you laugh like that?/

/No, I just thought that the filming crew did a great job of reproducing them./

Seo-jun and Ahn Da Ho blinked their eyes.

Unless it was a really important prop, there was not much mention of it in the script, so Seo-jun couldnt guess what kind of clothes Kim Jong-ho would come out wearing either.

After waiting a little longer, Kim Jong-ho came out wearing the clothes.

/Seo-jun! Look at this!/

He appeared laughing loudly, and Seo-jun and Ahn Da Ho were speechless.

There he was, Kim Jong-ho, wearing a fluorescent orange hiking outfit that looked like a school uniform from his parents generation.
