Chapter 418:
“Enjoy your meal!”
The staff members said to Blue Moon as they took ice cream or drinks from the makeshift table.
The lighting was being repaired and they were finishing up, so they only had time to eat ice cream before resuming filming.
“Wow... I almost said my name.”
Park Ee-deun said as he sat on a chair with an ice cream.
Seo-jun and the other members also took an ice cream each and sat down.
“Wouldn''t they not know even if you said my name?”
Seo-jun''s name was quite common, after all.
The others nodded at Seo-jun''s words with regretful faces.
“They seemed to not know us either... They wouldn''t have known even if we told them.”
They were still rookies who hadn''t even debuted for a year, so they didn''t expect to have much recognition, but it was still a pity.
The Blue Moon members also made regretful expressions at Choi Jae-won''s words and then said with determined faces.
“Let''s work hard.”
“Yeah. Let''s do our best!”
Seo-jun smiled brightly at their appearance.
***
The filming resumed from Baek Yi-hyun''s part.
“If taxis like this were on the streets, they would stand out a lot.”
Everyone nodded in agreement with Kim Si-hoon''s words.
Unlike the usual taxis on the street, the set had a toy-like taxi in pastel tones that looked like it came out of a music video.
The wall of the set was made of green chroma key for later CG work.
“Sit down. Mr. Yi-hyun. It''s more spacious than a normal taxi, so it won''t be too cramped.”
At the staff''s words, baek Yi-hyun sat in the back seat of the taxi and looked around the inside with a slightly excited face.
It was definitely more spacious than a normal taxi, and the color of the seats was different too.
“Seo-jun. You sit here too.”
At Baek Yi-hyun''s words, seo-jun opened the opposite door and got into the taxi, sitting a little apart from Baek Yi-hyun as if there was a transparent wall between them as before.
He then moved his body slightly to check if there was anything uncomfortable.
“It''s fine?”
“Yeah?”
The staff smiled broadly at Seo-jun and Baek Yi-hyun''s words.
It was fortunate that it was spacious, but it would have been a problem if it was too narrow.
Seo-jun and Blue Moon came down from the set, and the filming began at Director Jang''s signal.
Blue Moon''s song played.
Baek Yi-hyun, who was standing on the street, opened the door of the taxi and got into the back seat.
Baek Yi-hyun''s father was a taxi driver, and he used to go on short drives with his parents in a taxi from time to time.
He would always hold a toy microphone in the back seat and sing along to the songs on the radio.
He thought he should go on a drive with his parents again after a long time and looked out the window with a bored expression as instructed by the script.
“There''s nothing special about fate.”
Choi Jae-won nodded at Seo-jun''s words.
There must have been people who sang at school besides Choi Jae-won, and people who thought idols were cool while watching TV besides Park Ee-deun.
“Some people don''t even sing along to the songs on the radio.”
Some of them wanted to be singers and dreamed of it, and some of them just thought about it.
But Blue Moon didn''t stop there and worked hard to achieve their dreams, and eventually debuted and made a comeback like this.
“Why did you become an actor?”
Seo-jun pondered over Kim Si-hoon''s question.
He wanted to be an actor because he saw his first life book in the library of life when he was a baby who couldn''t even speak, but he couldn''t tell them honestly because it was a special fate that no one else had experienced.
“Maybe Seo-jun has been doing what he has been doing since he was young, acting.”
“But there must be something that keeps him going. He wouldn''t have worked so hard like Seo-jun if he wasn''t interested.”
Choi Jae-won answered Park Ee-deun''s words.
Seo-jun, who had been thinking for a while, opened his mouth as soon as he did, blue Moon and Ahn Da Ho, who were nearby, and Team Leader 1 leaned their ears in.
They knew that Seo-jun loved acting, but they didn''t seem to have heard anything about his motivation.
“I saw an actor who really loved acting on TV when I was young. I thought, how can he love something so much? What is acting that makes him love it so much? And as I thought about it, I became interested in acting. And as I became interested, I came to love acting too.”
I want to be a superstar.
The vow he made as a joke became stronger as he saw the dazzling Brown Black, and grew bigger as he watched various works and documentaries about acting and actors in America.
‘I''m still growing.’
He still loved acting in the past, present, and future.
Seo-jun smiled brightly at his words.
Blue Moon''s eyes widened.
“I wonder who that actor is.”
“Yeah. He would be so happy to hear that Seo-jun became an actor because of him!”
Park Ee-deun''s words made Seo-jun scratch his cheek with a strange expression and opened his mouth.
“Um. I don''t think he would be very happy...”
“Why?”
“He''s unknown.”
As soon as the modified choreography started, the trainer''s eyes lit up.
Seo-jun, who had blue hair, moved alone along the predetermined path.
Seo-jun stood diagonally across from Choi Jae-won, who was at the front right of the M shape, and danced three moves overlapping with him.
Then Choi Jae-won stopped moving.
Seo-jun moved more energetically.
[...I know I''m not enough alone]
Next was Park Ee-deun, who was behind him.
Seo-jun took his place in front of Park Ee-deun, who was dancing the same moves as Blue Moon.
[I want to be with you]
Three moves. As soon as he overlapped with Seo-jun, Park Ee-deun stopped moving.
Seo-jun''s footsteps became more lively.
[You too]
Next was Jung Eun-sung, who was behind him on the left, then Baek Yi-hyun, who was in front of him on the left.
Seo-jun moved around the edge of the M shape as if he was circling it, and the two of them stopped moving one after another.
Now only Kim Si-hoon and Seo-jun were moving in the spacious set. It could have looked empty compared to before, but Seo-jun and Kim Si-hoon''s intense dance with bigger moves did not let go of people''s eyes.
Kim Si-hoon danced with Seo-jun for longer than three moves and stopped moving when there was not much left of B part.
‘Blue Moon’, who had blue hair, stood in the center and smiled softly as if he was happy and excited.
[I started to shine too]
Bang!
Kim Si-hoon, who was in the center, moved back.
That alone changed the M shape to an S shape with Seo-jun in the center.
Bang!
Blue Moon members who had been frozen like ice broke into motion at once.
Seo-jun and Blue Moon danced together until the end of the dance part.
“Cut!”
Director Jang shouted.
It didn''t take one shot to get an okay.
They had agreed beforehand to film several times to get better scenes.
Besides, they needed other people''s eyes for the dance part.
They were sweating from the short but intense movement.
Seo-jun and Blue Moon wiped their sweat and headed to the monitor in front of which Director Jang was watching.
The screens shot from different angles were playing on several monitors.
The trainer and Kim Si-hoon, the main dancer, moved their eyes quickly.
They had practiced enough in the practice room, but there were some flaws when they filmed for real.
“Eun-sung, stretch your arm a little more here.”
“Yes.”
“Jae-won, come forward more.”
“Got it.”
The others nodded at the trainer''s words.
Kim Si-hoon also opened his mouth.
“Yi-hyun, you can move bigger too.”
“Got it.”
There were more feedbacks. Seo-jun also watched the monitor while thinking about the modified dance moves of Blue Moon members.
“Let''s go again!”
Everyone moved for filming at Director Jang''s words.
After a few more shots, seo-jun and Blue Moon took a break because of the continuous physical exhaustion.
They drank water and filled their stomachs with snacks.
Even then, seo-jun and Blue Moon''s eyes didn''t leave the monitor.
“But...”
In the quiet moment, Jung Eun-sung opened his mouth and everyone perked up their ears.
“Don''t you think we’re like having our souls taken away by Seo-jun?”
Just then, on the monitor, baek Yi-hyun stopped moving and Seo-jun moved more vigorously.
Pfft!
Park Ee-deun and Kim Si-hoon spat out the water they were drinking and laughed out loud.
Seo-jun and Baek Yi-hyun, who were eating sandwiches, also burst out laughing.
It was a similar intention.
Unlike A part where they were scattered, b part had a meaning that ‘Blue Moon’ acted by Seo-jun passed by the five members and collected their dance moves to complete them.
‘Blue Moon’ was one when they were five, after all.
But having their souls taken away...
At the sound of laughter, choi Jae-won, the eldest and leader of Blue Moon, touched his forehead.
“...Eun-sung. Can''t you say that he breathes life into us instead?”
Hahaha.
Another round of laughter erupted.
