Chapter 195
The last shooting for today was with Lee Da-jin, Rachel Hill, and Evan Block.
Lee Da-jin took a deep breath with a pale face.
She had taken a herbal pill in the morning, but it seemed to have no effect as her heart was pounding. She had to act with two Hollywood actors from the first shooting.
Da-jin, fighting!
You can do it!
Yes!
Lee Da-jin nodded her head in response to Seo-jun and Park Do-hoons cheers.
She changed her clothes and went to the set.
Fortunately, she didnt have to curse at the two actors like Park Do-hoon did, so she sighed in relief.
Good luck, Da-jin.
Yes! Thank you!
Lee Da-jin answered with a lot of spirit.
The Korean lab was made by removing all the American items from the American lab set and moving the positions of the desk, computer, and other items.
The skilled art team staff moved things around and soon, a similar but different lab of Professor Maria appeared.
Director Choi Dae-man looked at the screen and nodded his head.
He shouted loudly.
Ready, action!
Jae-hee. Over here.
The people who were watching the shooting bit their lips at Rachel Hills line.
Seo-jun also smiled widely.
The original line was in English, but Rachel Hill spoke Korean well and had a good pronunciation, so they changed it to Korean.
Maybe, when Escape is released, everyone will be surprised.
Like a Russian doll, like an onion that never ends no matter how much you peel it.
Escape was a movie full of surprises from beginning to end.
Yes!
Jae-hee, the graduate student, rolled her eyes and moved the papers to where Professor Maria pointed. She had been working as an assistant for Professor Maria for two months already, and she was amazed by her.
Does a genius learn a language in two months?
Jae-hee. Can you find me the analysis data?
Yes!
Jae-hee had been working part-time at the O.W.C.
Foundations lab since two months ago.
She didnt know why she was here when she had nothing to do with this field but she had no choice but to do what her supervisor told her to do as a graduate student.
At least they pay well.
It was better than being under that stingy supervisor. Otherwise, she would have been writing papers for someone else.
They paid well, and Professor Maria was kind too. The work was easy, although she didnt know what it was. It was just,
/Im here, Professor./
Tsk.
She didnt like that slimy man who called himself a secretary. Professor Maria clicked her tongue. As always, he opened the door without knocking or calling on the intercom.
Why did they install a door lock then?
Jae-hee put down the paper she was holding and headed out of the lab. She closed the thick door that was installed for security and waited until the secretary came out.
When the secretary came, Jae-hee had a break time.
Then she went back in and rearranged the papers that the secretary had messed up.
Today was worse than usual. He threw something and broke the monitor. Professor Maria was sitting on a chair with her head down.Ree?ad latest novels at novelhall.com
Professor
Professor Maria was mumbling something. No. Zombie. Virus. Infection. Jae-hee blinked her eyes at the incomprehensible words and quietly cleaned up the lab.
Cut!
Haaah.
Lee Da-jin collapsed as the tension was released. Rachel Hill smiled and said.
You did well, Da-jin.
It wasnt an okay cut.
Well, its strange to get an okay in one take. You can do better in the next shooting. Shall we go and see what was lacking?
Yes!

The next day.
The second day of unofficial shooting.
Unlike yesterday, the indoor studio was busy.
The art team and the makeup team were moving around and working hard.
Blood! Blood!
/Here!/
Thank you, John!
Jenna Trade and the makeup team had a lot of interactions with the art team of Escape while working with the Korean makeup team after arriving in Korea.
It was because the zombie makeup and the background had to match.
They compared the blood prepared by the art team and the blood prepared by the makeup team with the help of an interpreter and discussed which one was better.
They talked about the stickiness, hardness, color, and amount of blood on the wall, floor, and zombies.
They also exchanged many other stories and learned to communicate with short words.
Todays shooting was the time to realize their previous meetings.
The art team and the makeup team moved with full spirit.
Especially, the art team was determined to make a set that would impress even Hollywood actors.
Do we spray it? Really spray it all?
The youngest staff of the art team asked, holding a barrel full of red liquid. The art team staff gathered their heads and shared their opinions.
Grrrrr.
He stopped talking at the strange sound.
/Professor?/
Samuel had seen the test subject before. But at that time, the test subjects eyes were covered with a blindfold and his mouth was gagged.
If Samuel had ever seen the test subject without the control device, he would have run out of the lab right away.
[O.W.C.s management is perfect.]
That thought created a flaw.
Click.
Samuel turned on the light, trying to figure out the situation.
!!
How did he not notice it when it was so close?
Right in front of Samuels eyes, there was something covered in blood.
Under the bright light.
It was the doctor who stood there.
A monster wearing a white coat that was stained with blood and flesh.
Could a human joint move like that?
Its arms and legs moved in directions that seemed impossible.
It was a strange movement.
Something inhuman was in front of Samuels eyes.
Grrrrr.
Fear filled Samuels face.
/No, no!/
The zombie rushed toward the prey with hot blood flowing.
Cut! Okay!
The leader, who was about to attack Evan Block, stopped.
Evan Blocks face, which was full of fear, quickly returned to normal.
He seemed to have gotten used to it, but the zombie that appeared right in front of him was still scary.
Rachel Hill smiled at him.
/Were you scared?/
/Um. A little?/
/How can you be scared by such makeup? Youve done all the zombie movies./
Evan laughed at Rachels teasing.
Then lets shoot the close-up shot.
A large camera was set up in front of the leader.
Wow. The leader, who had never seen such a big camera before, scratched his cheek and realized that he was wearing makeup and put his hand down.
Park Jaemin, the assistant director, said to him.
Just relax. Youre very scary even if you just stand still.
Really?
Very!
Park Jaemin raised his thumb and the leader loosened up.
Yeah. They would edit it well anyway.
The shooting started, and Park Jaemin turned off and on the light.
The zombie that appeared in the darkness was definitely impressive,
/Scary! Evan! Is that a little?! Thats super scary?!/
Rachel Hill said.
Evan Block laughed. Eun Dajin and Park Dohoon also shivered. Kim Jongho and Lee Jiseok pretended not to and wiped their sweaty hands.
The staff also swallowed their saliva.
Hollywood special makeup was amazing.
Wow.
In the shooting set full of surprised people, Seo-jun was watching the scene he just shot with sparkling eyes.
The face of the zombie that suddenly appeared was spine-chilling.
Dad wouldnt be able to watch this.
Seo-jun suddenly thought that.
***
Director Choi Daeman had one last scene to shoot today and he asked Seo-jun.
I have a favor to ask you for the next scene Is that okay?
Me?
Seo-jun tilted his head at Director Choi Daemans words. The next scene was something that the staff could do as well.
You know the last scene of the role? The one that came out in the trailer.
Yes.
You were there then. I want you to create that atmosphere Is that okay?
Yes!
Seo-jun understood Director Choi Daemans idea and his eyes sparkled.
That sounds fun.
At the news of Seo-juns shooting, not only the dance team leader, but also Jenna Tread and the mirror team, and the staff prepared for the shooting quickly with shining eyes.
Seo-jun smiled with blood-stained shoes on. They were a bit big, but not enough to interfere with his acting.
The shooting preparation was done in no time.
All they needed was a hallway and a door.
Seo-jun stood behind the door.
Ready, action!
Director Choi Daemans voice echoed loudly.
