Chapter 224
Wire! Wire!
Where should I put the chroma key?!
Are all the stuntmen here?
The set of Shadowman 3 was bustling since morning.
The staff were busy preparing for the shooting.
The staff with walkie-talkies gestured here and there.
They saw two people in their sight.
Oh, Seo-jun! Welcome!
Hello.
Good luck with the shooting today!
Thank you. for new novels
The staff who were familiar with Seo-jun greeted him as he headed to the set.
Seo-jun also smiled brightly and did not hide his happy mood.
He and Anh Da Ho widened their eyes as they passed through the open door of the studio, which was not yet ready for shooting.
The place where they stepped was an ancient temple.
There were rows of straight pillars, and colorful patterns were engraved on the ceiling and floor.
Unlike the white marble of the temples in Greece, it was a sand-colored pillar, but it suited better. If you followed the path, there was a huge door at the end.
There were modern things like wires, lights, cranes, etc., but the ancient temple that filled the studio occupied Seo-jun and Anh Da Hos sight.
The staff who passed by smiled at the two who were looking around with blank faces.
The staff also gazed at the completed set when they first saw it.
Seo-jun and Anh Da Ho finally exclaimed at the huge set.
Wow. Its amazing, isnt it?
Yeah.
The Hollywood set seemed to break its own record every time they saw it.
They were about to look around the set more, but Jonathan greeted them as usual.
Come on. Seo-jun. You came early?
I wanted to come early. Jonathan. The set is really cool.
Jonathan shrugged at Seo-juns words.
You dont know how much effort I put into making this from concept art to production. I was more picky than usual because of Ryans director, who checked everything carefully.
Ive heard that before.
Jonathan chuckled at Seo-juns words. Jonathan also remembered saying something similar when he filmed Shadowman 2.
Well, but its cooler than the memorial hall.
Right?
Seo-jun turned his head and looked at the set.
It reminded him of the Library of Life, and he wanted to look around more, but the staff were covering the set with a bright green cloth.
The chroma key was installed on the ancient temple that looked mysterious.
Jonathan smiled and said at Seo-juns regretful expression.
It was supposed to be installed before you came, but the chroma key installation is not done yet. The wire line got tangled up.
Thats why they looked busy.
Im glad I came early. I almost missed this amazing set.
Haha. Thats good. Ill have to tell the chroma key team and wire team.
Seo-jun nodded his head, and Jonathan continued.
Theyre really sorry. They worked hard to prepare, but they delayed the work because of them. Well, no matter how perfectly you prepare, theres always something wrong with this job, so you dont have to be sorry. But if you say that you could see this amazing set thanks to them, they might feel a little better.
As he spoke, Jonathan looked at the chroma key team and wire team.
Seo-jun blinked his eyes at Jonathans quick eyes.
When he filmed with Jonathan before, he was just doing errands or helping out here and there, but now he was different.
He even cared about the feelings of the staff who made mistakes.
He looked like a real director. It seemed that Jack Smith was not the only one who grew up fast.
-Jonathan.
He heard someone calling Jonathan on the walkie-talkie.
Yes. Wait a minute. It wont take long. You can finish it by the time Seo-jun is ready. Ill go check it out.
Okay.
Jonathan waved his hand and disappeared. He looked more mature than usual. Seo-jun felt strange but proud of him.
Lets get ready too.
Yes. Anh Da Ho hyung.
***
Seo-jun came out after changing into Jin Natras clothes and finishing his makeup.
As Jonathan promised, the chroma key installation was done.
The green-covered ancient temple looked completely different from before, and Seo-jun and Anh Da Ho paused for a moment without thinking.
Youre lucky you saw it earlier, right?
Yeah. I didnt know it would change so much.
!
He didnt have time to react.
Jin Natras shadow grabbed his ankle and swung him like catching prey.
The knight who hit the wall didnt move, as if he had lost consciousness.
The wire team staff trembled.
He had told them not to make mistakes, but he almost missed the timing while watching Seo-juns acting.
But
The wire team staff looked at Seo-juns feet.
He looked at it again, which had made him regain his senses.
Didnt the shadow move?
The knights showed clear hostility and made swords and spears out of shadows. The sharp black blades flew towards Jin Natra.
His expression didnt change even when the blades were pushed in front of his neck.
A heavy tension settled in the ancient temple.
Get out of my way.
Jin Natras shadow swept over the knights like a wave.
The staff outside the set held their breath.
There was nothing.
There was nothing, but the stuntmen who showed the planned action looked like they were really attacked.
They knew it was just being pulled by wires and hitting the chroma key on the wall, door, and floor, but they couldnt erase that thought.
A stuntman hit the soft green chroma key mat with a thud! It looked like the soft green chroma key cushioned the stuntman safely, but for some reason, it seemed like they heard a loud bang! in their ears.
Some of them exchanged glances among many staff members.
Why does it look like theres a shadow?
Seo-jun Lee, no, Jin Natras shadow grew bigger and attacked all the temple knights.
Jin Natra opened the huge door in front of him.
Cut, OK!
Ryan directors voice rang out loudly.
A warm wind blew with the OK sound.
The stuntmen who were awkwardly rolling on the floor after being attacked by Jin Natra got up one by one.
The stuntmen who were pulled by wires and hit the wall also came down slowly to the ground.
The stuntmen who stepped on the floor felt some aftereffects from being pulled by wires, even though they expected it.
They stretched lightly.
The first one who hit the green chroma key wall twisted his ankle a few times.
Are you okay? Did you get hurt?
Ah, no
What?! You got hurt?
The stuntman team leader who was checking this and that for the next shooting reacted to his words.
Everyone lowered their heads at his sharp ears.
The stuntman waved his hand.
Im not hurt. Im fine!
Be careful. You cant get hurt.
Yes!
The team leader pointed at his own eyes with his index and middle fingers and then pointed at him. It was a gesture that meant he was watching.
The stuntmen smiled awkwardly.
But why?
Well, I thought someone really grabbed my ankle. But I guess not.
He felt something lightly wrapping and squeezing his ankle, but it seemed like it was just his imagination.
Seo-jun, who heard the stuntmens story, scratched his cheek.
[The Shadow Art of the (Evil) Mashad Intermediate Low level]
It is the shadow art of the parasitic demon race, Mashad.
You can manipulate shadows freely.
[Caution] It consumes magic power if you use it for a long time.
[The level of The Shadow Art of the (Evil) Mashad Intermediate Low level is temporarily lowered.]
[The Shadow Art of the (Evil) Mashad Low level]
It is the shadow art of the parasitic demon race, Mashad.
You can manipulate shadows freely.
Mashad is a demon race that parasitizes on living creatures shadows.
The longer they stay in the shadow, the more they slowly erode the creature from the toes.
They eventually devour them up to their hair.
Hmm. It seems like some people have seen it, right?
Seo-jun looked at Ryan director who was monitoring.
With [The Prayer of the (Good) Orc Priest], Ryan directors concentration was high.
Maybe he would make a better CG than Evil Spirit if he saw the shadow.
