ALL NOVEL Chapter 532
“What’s that, Soo-hyun?”
Right after arriving at the filming location.
The laptop I was holding seemed to attract a lot of attention because of its appearance. It looked super high-tech, so of course, it caught people’s eyes.
“Ah, this is something I just bought.”
“Oh… looks nice. Are you using it for work-related stuff?”
“Huh? Ah… well, you could say that, I guess.”
In a way, I might take on a medieval fantasy role later, so you could broadly say it’s work-related. Hmm.
“Then I’ll go get ready for makeup…”
“Ah, yes, go ahead.”
Anyway, since I was at the filming location, I headed straight to the makeup room.
I put on a wig to match today’s scene and got makeup that made it look like I had scars on my face.
On top of that, I intentionally got a bit of a messy look and changed into my costume.
“Hmm.”
In front of the mirror, Jisoo, who had been grinding through survival games, was now fully transformed.
Every time I see this kind of makeup, it feels so fascinating. It’s a bit uncomfortable for me, but from the outside, it even looks painful.
Well, anyway.
“Excuse me for a moment.”
Since the makeup was done, I glanced around and then said, “I’ll head to the waiting room for a bit.”
“Ah, sure~ Take a rest until the rehearsal.”
After a quick greeting, I hurried into the waiting room.
And then.
“Phew…”
I let out a sigh of relief and immediately plugged my laptop charger into the outlet in the waiting room.
Since it’s a high-performance gaming laptop, the battery life is limited. I forgot to buy a laptop power bank.
I ordered one earlier, so it should probably arrive tomorrow.
After plugging in the charger and turning on the laptop, the games I had installed appeared.
It took forever to install using a hotspot, but at least there’s no lag when playing.
With that in mind, I logged into the game and connected to the server.
Then, the server mods started loading.
Ah, there are no mods on this laptop, huh?
Still, I waited patiently, and after a while, a message popped up saying I was connected to the server.
And then.
“Oh…”
In one corner of the studio waiting room, I successfully logged into The Six’s massive server.
“Huh.”
It’s been a while since I last logged in yesterday evening.
How much time do I have until the next shoot?
Since they said the preparation would take a while, I might be able to grind the hunting grounds more than I thought.
So.
After waking up in the hunting ground where I last logged in yesterday, I started hunting again with full enthusiasm.
After dedicating myself to the game on the first and second days, I now had a pretty satisfying spec.
With the spear I made from materials obtained by defeating the Goblin King and the armor I got from killing an Orc Warrior at a very low drop rate, I was practically invincible on this server.
[??]
[Miro, what’s this lol]
As I logged into the server and started hunting, all sorts of chats popped up about me.
I guess everyone thought I wouldn’t be able to log in because of my schedule.
[Hey hey]
I casually typed in the chat and looked around.
Although the raid boss was tough, forcing everyone in the hunting ground to sync their tempo, even within the same hunting ground, the levels varied.
I casually helped those who were struggling while showing off my strength.
While hunting and collecting small quest item materials, someone knocked on the waiting room door.
“Who, who is it?”
Normally, I would’ve just told them to come in, but I felt a bit guilty, so I asked.
-It’s Moon Chang-sik.
“Ah, yes, come in.”
Fortunately, it was Moon Chang-sik, so I answered with relief, and the door opened as the great actor walked in.
“What are you doing? Stuck in the waiting room like this.”
“Hmm, leisure activities?”
As I said that, I subtly covered the laptop, and Moon Chang-sik looked puzzled.
“Did you buy a new one? I haven’t seen this before.”
“Yeah, I bought it this morning.”
I answered casually and turned my attention back to the game. Moon Chang-sik probably wouldn’t mind.
“Are you playing a game?”
“Hmm, I’ve been feeling a lack of rest lately.”
Zing.
I could feel Moon Chang-sik’s gaze from behind.
For a moment, I felt the unspoken pressure of why I wasn’t practicing acting in the waiting room but playing a game instead.
“…What game is it?”
“It’s a new hit game that’s trending these days.”
Maybe because he realized how much effort I’d put into it, he didn’t say much and turned his interest to the game.
“Want to watch me play for a bit?”
“Sure, there’s still some time before filming.”
“Then sit here next to me.”
And so.
I sat Moon Chang-sik next to me and continued hunting enthusiastically.
[Heh- Hah!]
I pressed the shortcut keys, and a series of flashy skills flew toward the Orc Warrior in front of me.
These were the skills of my new class, the Spear Master. After much deliberation, I chose this class, and its skills were satisfyingly powerful.
“It’s an RPG game, huh?”
“Yeah, it’s a server made to be similar.”
“A server?”
“It’s a high-freedom simulation game tweaked to play like an RPG.”
“Hmm, I see.”
I answered his questions, and he said he understood, but judging by his tone, it didn’t seem like he fully got it.
Well, he’s not the type to understand this kind of thing anyway.
Park Kang-seok is the same. Why is it that everyone around me doesn’t know about games?
Well, anyway.
As I was busy hunting, the members in the same hunting ground kept talking to me.
[Miro, what about the broadcast?]
[Ah, I’m outside right now.]
[…You’re doing it outside?]
[Well, I’m just out and doing it.]
The other members are probably turning on the broadcast, handling the flood of question marks from viewers.
From the viewers’ perspective, is this blatantly a behind-the-scenes game?
But what can I do? I can’t turn on the broadcast here in the waiting room.
“It looks fun. Should I download it and try?”
“Ah, yes, go ahead. But you probably won’t be able to do it like this.”
Even if you download the game, it’s hard to play like I do.
Because this is a special server that The Six and the game company put their heart and soul into.
“Isn’t that a public server?”
“Huh? Ah, it’s a server for friends.”
“I see. Can I not join?”
“Um, no.”
“That’s a shame.”
If Moon Chang-sik comes in, The Six will be thrilled and jump around.
Am I crazy? I won’t take him.
“There are plenty of other fun servers out there.”
After all, this game isn’t just limited to this server.
Originally, it’s a fun single-player game too.
When I tried it briefly last time to get used to the controls, it was fun.
Anyway, like that.
I played the game until the filming preparations were done.
-Rehearsal, please!
Only after hearing the staff’s shout did I snap out of it.
“Ah, filming.”
“…You’re really into it, huh?”
“Were you watching the whole time?”
“Well, I was looking at the script while watching.”
Moon Chang-sik, who said that, pointed to the script he had been holding.
“That’s my script, isn’t it?”
To my disbelief, it wasn’t his script but mine.
Well, he came into the waiting room empty-handed earlier, so he must have been looking at my script.
“It’s all pretty similar anyway.”
“Well… that’s true.”
Today, we’re filming the last part of the flashback for Credit Season 2.
So, Moon Chang-sik and I have pretty similar scripts.
“Here, take it. Still, take a look before filming.”
“I’ve already memorized it, but I will.”
Actually, both Moon Chang-sik and I.
We’re the type who don’t need to carry scripts around.
But still, carrying it around and looking at it can be surprisingly helpful.
Anyway.
I closed the laptop and went out to film.
Playing games is fun, but when it comes to work, I have to do it properly.
In that sense, I have no intention of playing games outside the waiting room.
Well, actually, it’s also because of the staff’s watchful eyes around the set.
If a lead actor is busy playing games on a laptop, they’d probably want to smack the back of my head.
So, when I came out to the set, I saw more people gathered than usual.
Did they bring the studio filming team over here too?
Looks like they’re putting a lot of effort into the final flashback filming.
“Soo-hyun.”
“Ah? Long time no see, Senior Jeong-cheon.”
“Yeah, we haven’t had a chance to meet.”
On top of that, Senior Jeong-cheon, who was at a different filming location throughout the season, was here too.
Looking around, other actors who weren’t filming were also here.
…Looks like they all came to watch while I was playing games in the waiting room.
Did Moon Chang-sik know about this and just watch from the side without telling me?
Well, first…
“Soo-hyun, are you ready?”
“Ah, yes, yes.”
“Then we’ll do a few rehearsals and start filming right away.”
“Got it.”
We went into a light rehearsal before filming.
Around me were Moon Chang-sik and other actors who would be in the final flashback scene.
They’re familiar faces I’ve been filming with for the past few months.
When we first filmed the first cut at this location, it felt overwhelming, but now it’s already the final scene.
But since we’ll continue filming at another studio after this, there’s no regret.
“Let’s start the rehearsal.”
After that, we did a simple rehearsal.
“Ah, this is good.”
“We can go with this.”
Since the actors have already synced well, it went smoothly without any hiccups.
It’s not for nothing that I was playing games in the waiting room.
I feel almost no pressure about the final filming.
Well, there’s one problem…
“Soo-hyun, during the actual filming, let’s make it more dynamic.”
“Ah, yes, yes.”
The action scene with Moon Chang-sik is a bit tricky.
There’s an action scene where I have to carry Moon Chang-sik and throw him down.
I’ve practiced a lot and I’m confident, but.
Sometimes I fail once or twice.
It’s probably because of the difference in physique.
“Alright, let’s start the actual filming.”
Well, even if we get a few NGs, it’s fine.
So, I went into the actual filming without pressure.
Today, I finished filming perfectly.
After work, I should head to the next hunting ground.
