Chapter 347

A few days after Sasha Rian and Hasha, Melon Soda Horizon, and even Kim Ijin had all gathered in one place.

Finally, the filming crew arrived from the United States.

“Doctor Han, I’ve heard a lot about you. You really do raise a magnificent falcon.”

“Nice to meet you. Well, I wouldn’t exactly say I raise it… Thank you.”

An elderly director with a strangely tired face extended his hand for a handshake.

Behind him were dozens of staff members.

‘Is it because Sasha kept asking to change this and that?’

There really were so many incidents during the preparation process.

She tried to befriend the spirit animals by drawing formations with all kinds of food, and when she played instruments, crowds gathered in the residential area.

Anyway, after all the twists and turns, we finished everything from the arrangement adapted for the band to the storyline and scene modifications due to concept changes.

Finally, today we came to Taejongdae for filming.

“It would be best to try the scenes with animals first.”

“Yes!”

This music video of Sasha’s is structured with alternating drama scenes that have a story and require acting, and performance scenes with playing and singing.

And among the drama scenes, the ones with animals were said to be high in difficulty.

Animals are sensitive to noise and lighting, and when there are many people around causing stress, they often refuse to film when in a bad mood.

In such cases, they have to film other scenes first and try filming again later.

As the staff finished setting up the lighting, the director approached me and Kim Ijin.

“Sasha is demanding rather complex acting, so I’m not sure if it’ll work out.”

He handed us a script marked with highlighter while pressing his forehead.

Cheongsori, Songgol, and Vanilla weren’t animals that regularly appeared on broadcasts, and we weren’t professional trainers either.

Since she insisted on filming with animals raised by her friend and put all sorts of elaborate scenes in the script, his worries seemed endless.

“Don’t worry.”

Of course, Kim Ijin and I weren’t concerned at all.

We had already checked the final script and practiced before the filming crew arrived.

Kim Ijin spoke to Vanilla first.

“Watch Sasha intently from behind this tree, and when Sasha approaches here, run to that tree over there. I’ll mark the trees with dog treats, so just move in order.”

– Woof!

Even after pressing the record button, the staff’s gazes remained quite doubtful.

– Arrruff!

Vanilla moved perfectly according to Kim Ijin’s instructions without the slightest mistake.

“Perfect! We could go with this right away, couldn’t we?”

“Still, we should film it three or four more times. Here, please capture my expression in this part.”

Even with repeated filming, Vanilla was rather excited.

She even added some ad-libs.

“Huh, how can a dog act this perfectly?”

“Did it receive special training?”

“Uhaha! I told you I was confident! Vanilla personally applied to appear in my music video, so of course she has to do well!”

Sasha became very triumphant.

The staff were amazed by Vanilla’s performance.

But this was only the beginning.

“Drop the acorn at the moment Sasha gains enlightenment, acknowledging her.”

– Squeak!

Cheongsori handled much more complex acting.

“This time it’s a martial arts training scene. I’ll do it in front, so follow the movements and make them big and exaggerated.”

Since there was a brief scene of Sasha learning martial arts from Cheongsori, I demonstrated in front of Cheongsori for this part.

– Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!

Cheongsori’s hind paws swept the ground, and her front paws swirled as if moving through water.

She performed her acting while looking at the camera with the clearest gaze.

“Wait, wasn’t this part supposed to be made with CG?”

“Jesus! I haven’t seen anything like this even in Hollywood!”

Cheongsori followed my techniques, showing movements as soft as Taekkyeon.

She also sat in a lotus-like position, mimicking breathing exercises.

“Don’t tell me the acrobatic flight from the cliff too…?”

And indeed, Songgol didn’t disappoint expectations either.

The entire filming crew covered their mouths in awe as they watched Songgol’s spectacular scenes.

“…!”

Just when we thought Songgol’s part was finished in one take.

“Huh?”

“No!”

Songgol flew toward the staff and kidnapped one of the cameras.

The staff member who had it taken was startled and tried to chase Songgol, but ahead was a cliff.

“Are you okay? The footage on that camera…”

The staff looked devastated, and the director turned pale thinking about the parts they’d have to reshoot.

But Songgol didn’t drop the camera.

He performed another acrobatic flight while still holding the camera.

He had directly secured first-person perspective footage for them.

“…!”

The director and staff couldn’t continue speaking.

“Gorgeous!”

Sasha let out a cheer that was almost a scream.

She was delighted that her choice had been right after all.

Contrary to the director’s concerns, they secured all the scenes with animals in less than an hour.

“Everyone did great work.”

I held Cheongsori in my arms while Kim Ijin held Vanilla, praising them.

“You were absolutely amazing!”

And Hasha and the filming staff enthusiastically gave thumbs up to Songgol flying in the sky.

Still, that guy should have said something before moving!

Anyway, is my part roughly finished now?

I scratched my head and moved to a different spot with Kim Ijin.

“That’s truly an amazing ability.”

“The animals just follow me well for some reason.”

Kim Ijin and I retreated to one side with the spirit animals.

It was the place where the Melon Soda Horizon members had been waiting while we were filming.

“I don’t know if I can do as well as Cheongsori.”

Kim Taeyun, wearing flowing fusion hanbok, stood up with a tense expression.

While the other members only appeared in the band session, Kim Taeyun was also scheduled to briefly appear in the drama scene.

“Good luck. Be careful since the cliff is dangerous.”

“Yes.”

“Taeyun hyung! Fighting!”

“…I’ll do well and come back.”

Sigh.

The director had worried about the scenes with spirit animals, but for me, this part was much more concerning.

The reason they specifically chose Taejongdae as the filming location was obviously to shoot martial arts scenes using lightness skills on the cliff.

Songgol was originally a creature that roamed cliffs, so whether he performed acrobatic flights there or whatever, there was no danger at all.

But Sasha and Kim Taeyun having a sword fight while suspended on wires was a different story.

‘It’ll be okay… right?’

I anxiously watched Sasha and Kim Taeyun putting on their wire harnesses.

Even while talking with Kim Ijin and Hasha, I couldn’t take my eyes off them.

Whoooosh-!

Kim Taeyun’s body flew up into the air.

‘If he falls from there, ugh.’

Could I catch him from where I’m sitting now?

If I get closer, I’ll be caught on camera.

I kept fidgeting restlessly while watching them.

“Wow, Sasha is amazing.”

Unlike me, Hasha and Kim Ijin were purely amazed.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The practice swords clashed with crisp sounds.

As expected, Sasha had excellent athletic ability.

Not only were her footwork techniques decent, but her Plum Blossom Sword technique’s sword paths were quite accurate.

‘She is good though, hmm.’

When I first started training, I had struggled tremendously with footwork, so I was almost jealous.

Thaaaaat!

Kim Taeyun’s posture jumping down from the tree was also very cool.

If you have stage presence, are you good at this kind of thing too?

“This is Taeyun’s first time using wires, right?”

“Right? He’s only done performances with us the whole time, when would hyung have tried something like that!”

“I was worried he was taking on too big a role… but he looks pretty cool.”

Kang Jaekyung, Park Haru, and Jeong Siwoo also had their mouths hanging open.

“Let’s try it one more time!”

Unlike how he quickly gave the okay sign to the spirit animals, the director reshot the same scene several times.

Even while Kim Taeyun was resting, Sasha performed sword dances alone.

Imagining a foreign person entering Hwasan Sect felt somehow strange.

If they add sword energy with graphics and edit it well, the scene of them fighting should come out quite convincing.

Though the close combat scene in the middle was very over-the-top.

The martial arts scenes I was involved in and Sasha’s sword dance were definitely good.

“Can I try copying that later too?”

Kim Ijin, who had been staring intently at them, suddenly asked.

“What?”

I was startled and turned my gaze.

What are you talking about all of a sudden?

Even now it’s excessive, what would happen if you learned external martial arts too?

Of course, Sasha’s sword dance wasn’t proper martial arts, but whenever Kim Ijin showed greed for martial arts training, I got goosebumps.

“Ahem, copying it is fine, but it won’t have effects like the meditation I taught you before.”

“Really?”

Kim Ijin lowered her head with a slightly disappointed expression.

I can’t let this slide easily.

Even when I taught her just a bit of internal energy cultivation, I never thought Kim Ijin would become this strong!

I swallowed hard and turned my head.

‘Would it be okay to teach her external martial arts later…?’

Right now it’s difficult since she’s at her peak as an athlete.

Maybe, someday when she retires, it might be okay to confess the truth and pass on martial arts?

Of course, realistically there’s a very high chance she wouldn’t believe it, so I wouldn’t do that, but such thoughts briefly crossed my mind.

“Cut!”

While I was briefly looking elsewhere, the Director shouted loudly.

Making my anxious waiting seem pointless, the scene I had considered dangerous ended safely.

“Fortunately, there was no need for the Clinic Director to step in.”

“What?”

…How did she know I was preparing to step in for emergency situations?

While shrugging my shoulders as if I didn’t know what she meant, my cheek twitched slightly.

“Let’s take a short break and then film the performance scene.”

Since all the drama scene filming was finished, the crew organized their equipment.

Unlike the scenes filmed in the forest and on the cliff so far, the performance scene requiring instruments was scheduled to be filmed in an open space, so they seemed to be setting up new lighting.

Kim Taeyun and Sasha approached our side to take a rest.

“Clinic Director!”

Unlike Kim Taeyun who looked slightly tired, Sasha waved her right arm with a bright smile.

“Don’t run!”

It wasn’t a cliff, but what if she runs like that on the rocks and tree stairs?

I was startled and shouted loudly to stop Sasha.

“Hing, okay!”

Fortunately, she understood my words and stopped running.

How can she have so much overflowing energy?

The waiting group took out sandwiches and made space to provide snacks for them.

“You worked hard.”

“Were you okay?”

“That was amazing, wasn’t it?”

“But it’s harder than I thought. I’m not sure if I’ll have full power when performing later.”

“The recording is done separately anyway…”

And the moment Kim Taeyun received a sandwich and put it in his mouth.

The upper body of one of the Melon Soda Horizon members who was talking with him fell straight back.

Swoosh!

I stretched out one foot to move behind Jeong Siwoo and.

Grabbed his waist.

“Ueoook!”

Since I grabbed Jeong Siwoo’s waist faster than he could scream, fortunately we could avoid the situation of him sliding on the rocks.

“A-are you okay?”

“Uh… the Clinic Director caught me.”

Jeong Siwoo brushed off his waist and legs with a bewildered expression.

Phew, I wondered why the drama scene ended so quietly.

If I had completely relaxed just because all the wire scenes were finished, I might not have been able to respond immediately.

“My goodness, you need to be careful.”

Still, who would have thought he’d slip on a perfectly flat rock.

“Ah, there happens to be moss on the rock.”

Jeong Siwoo scratched his head awkwardly.

The ground wasn’t slippery, and he didn’t trip on a stone either.

“It would have been terrible if you had twisted your wrist.”

“Yes, phew. Thanks to you, I survived.”

I let out a sigh of relief.

Jeong Siwoo gave a simple bow and stood up.

“Hm?”

But… her walking form was slightly off.

“Did you perhaps twist your knee slightly when you slipped?”
