The day of Blue Moon's music video shoot.
Since a few days ago, the set for the music video shoot had been built one by one at the studio, which was bustling with staff mbers who were finishing their work.
Except for the scenes that were fild outside, everything was planned to be done on the set, so the art team staff were busy creating different spaces, and the 1st team staff were also working hard to check them.
At a table a little away from the set, the director Jang who was in charge of the music video today and the 1st team manager of Cocoa Entertainnt were talking while looking at a paper with the music video storyboard drawn on it.
“Like this, right?”
“Yes.”
Director Jang scratched his chin as he looked at the storyboard.
He had had several etings with Cocoa Entertainnt before for today's shoot, but he found it a bit strange that the 1st team manager kept checking and rechecking until the day of the shoot.
‘Well, as long as I do a good job.’
There were different types of directors who mainly did music videos, such as those who put their own aesthetic sense into it and made music videos that had a strong director's vibe, and those who just followed the concept and storyboard that the agency had decided.
Director Jang, who was in charge of Blue Moon's music video, was the latter.
He wanted to film exactly what was on the storyboard that had been completed after many revisions, so the 1st team of Cocoa Entertainnt deliberately chose Director Jang, who was of the latter type and also fairly well-known.
“Oh, by the way, who is the actor who plays Blue Moon?”
Even though he was a director who obediently followed the storyboard, he still had a sense of responsibility for the music video he was filming.
For the quality of Blue Moon's music video, which would be one of his works, Director Jang pointed out a potential problem.
“Even if you edit it later, the mbers have black hair, but if he has blue hair alone, won't the actor stand out too much?”
The idea of ‘personifying Blue Moon’ was good.
It was sothing that no other idol group's music video had done, or could do.
‘It's not easy to express.’
‘Blue Moon’ had ‘blue’ in its na, so it would be easier for the viewers to accept if they emphasized the actor with blue color. But what about idol groups with nas like ‘Nine’ or ‘ST’? How could they personify them?
That's why Director Jang also thought that this attempt was novel and fitting for the group's na.
‘But isn't the actor too noticeable?’
If ‘Blue Moon’ appeared only once, it might be okay. But since he appeared with the mbers as much as he did, his blue hair was bound to catch attention.
“He has to act well, of course… And there's also a dance part. Is that okay?”
It would be obvious if an actor and an idol danced together who was good and who was bad. It was not enough to just emphasize the idol with directing.
He had ntioned this before in a previous eting, but the 1st team manager and staff who attended just smiled faintly and said it was fine.
Director Jang saw that they had no anxiety or worry in their smiles, and he was genuinely curious who this actor was who gave them such confidence and trust.
‘They’ll tell who he is today since it's filming day.’
The 1st team manager, who had kept his mouth shut until filming day for security reasons, also thought it was ti to tell him.
He had just received a ssage that he had arrived.
“Yes. It's fine. He's an actor who doesn't need to say anything about his acting skills, and he also practiced dancing with the mbers. Oh, please keep it a secret about the actor until the music video is released.”
“I’ll keep it secure, of course.”
It was a place where security had to be well maintained for things like songs or concepts, as much as dramas or movies.
“He’ll be here soon.”
The 1st team manager smiled brightly and turned his head toward the entrance of the studio. Director Jang also looked at where his gaze was heading with interest.
Soon, the door of the studio opened.
The staff who were walking around the set or working on their tasks also briefly looked at where the door opened.
“Hello! We are Blue Moon!”
Blue Moon, who had been debuting for almost a year now, greeted them with a cheerful smile that suited their rookie status.
Director Jang and the staff smiled faintly and thought ‘Those days were good.’
while recalling so idols who beca rude after a few years.
They wondered if their personalities disappeared as their careers got longer.
The staff who saw Blue Moon, the main characters of today, turned their attention back to the set, but Director Jang was interested in the boy who followed Blue Moon wearing a black beanie hat.
The boy took off his black beanie hat with one hand, and his blue hair waved like a wave. The blue hair that was not usually seen caught the eyes of so staff.
“Thank you for your hard work today.”
He didn't have the sa cheerfulness as Blue Moon, but it was a polite and sincere greeting.
The blue hair was the first thing that caught Director Jang's eye, and the clear and clean voice that could be a singer's voice reached Director Jang's ears. And his whole body felt drawn to the aura that shone more than anyone else.
“…?”
Director Jang blinked his eyes.
His face was familiar, but his hair color was unfamiliar.
His hair color was unfamiliar, but his face was familiar.
He felt a cognitive dissonance that made him forget to breathe for a mont because of the combination he had never imagined.
“…Wow. Crazy…”
A groan-like exclamation ca from sowhere.
Following that exclamation, Director Jang's brain started to work. His mouth and eyes opened so wide that he couldn't open them any more. He was stunned for a few seconds, and then he finally uttered a word that sounded like a sigh from deep in his stomach.
“Actor Lee Seo-jun…!”
With that word, the studio exploded.
***
Top actor Lee Seo-jun moved to his place with Blue Moon for the preparation of the shoot, but the studio was still noisy.
The Cocoa Entertainnt staff who understood their feelings decided to take a break for a while.
Of course, they also needed ti to warn the staff about security.
Such a commotion, such an excitent, they thought it would be the reaction of the public who would watch Blue Moon's music video, and they couldn't help but feel pleased.
The 1st team manager looked around the studio with a satisfied face and turned his eyes to Director Jang, who had been silent since earlier.
Director Jang was looking at the storyboard.
Now that he knew that Actor Lee Seo-jun was acting, the music video storyboard that he had seen so many tis that he was sick of it felt different.
He looked at the scenes where ‘Blue Moon’ appeared, and he wondered what kind of acting Lee Seo-jun would show.
“So that's why you weren't worried at all.”
“Hahaha. Yes. Why would I need to worry about Lee Seo-jun's acting?”
Director Jang nodded in agreent with the 1st team manager's words and then realized that he had been tense all along.
He then suddenly thought that he had to film Lee Seo-jun.
He broke out in a cold sweat.
A little later.
Lee Seo-jun and Blue Moon, who had changed into their shooting outfits and finished their makeup, appeared in the studio.
The 1st team manager and Ahn Da Ho looked around the studio.
There was a strange silence in the studio. The set was ready, and the lights and caras were installed, but the number of staff remained the sa.
It seed that security was being maintained.
“They’re all looking at Seo-jun's hair.”
“I think I would too.”
Kim Si-hoon said in response to Choi Jae-won's words.
It was surprising enough to see Lee Seo-jun in person, but if he showed up with blue hair, they would have no choice but to stare blankly.
The others nodded in agreent, and Lee Seo-jun scratched his cheek.
Then the 1st team manager gestured with his hand.
Lee Seo-jun and Blue Moon headed toward the 1st team manager and Ahn Da Ho, and a man who looked like a director.
“This is the director who will be filming this music video.”
“Nice to et you.”
“Hello! We are Blue Moon!”
Lee Seo-jun and Blue Moon greeted him with a slightly awkward smile.
He was still sweating from his palms.
***
The official music video shoot began.
The first shoot was also planned to be the first scene in the music video, and the characters were Lee Seo-jun and Choi Jae-won.
The set was a stage, but it was narrower than a normal stage, and the color was bright pastel tones that suited the music video.
There was a stand microphone in the center of the stage.
“We’re starting the shoot!”
At the staff's words, choi Jae-won headed toward the stand microphone on the stage.
“Ready, action.”
At Director Jang's signal, music flowed out in the studio.
Choi Jae-won opened his mouth to match it.
[When I dread alone]
Choi Jae-won thought of when he sang at the school auditorium.
In the cheers of his friends and teachers, choi Jae-won had his first thought of becoming a singer.
[When I didn't know you yet]
“Cut! Okay. Let's go right to the next one.”
At the mont when the staff were about to listen to his sweet lody and voice, Director Jang's voice was heard.
The staff who were disappointed went up to install another stand microphone next to Choi Jae-won's stand microphone and ca down.
Lee Seo-jun took his place in front of it.
‘Why here?’
Everyone was puzzled but also excited by Lee Seo-jun's appearance.
Lee Seo-jun smiled faintly as he t Choi Jae-won's eyes.
The 1st team manager, Ahn Da Ho, and Blue Moon mbers who were monitoring sparkled their eyes.
Director Jang, who hadn't seen Lee Seo-jun's acting yet, also shouted action with anticipation.
Everyone in the studio looked at the stage with interest when the music that had stopped flowed out again.
[When I dread alone]
[When I didn't know you yet]
The part that had just played ca out again and was about to cut off where it had been cut off before, but the cara that had only focused on Choi Jae-won spun around and showed Lee Seo-jun, who seed to have suddenly appeared next to Choi Jae-won.
Choi Jae-won held the stand microphone with his hand.
Lee Seo-jun held the stand microphone with his hand.
[I- stood alone]
Choi Jae-won sang with his voice ringing as if expressing loneliness.
At the sa ti, Lee Seo-jun also looked down as if smiling faintly.
The two who were shown together on the monitor made not only Director Jang, who knew the storyboard in advance, but also the staff who were watching the stage open their mouths in astonishnt.
Choi Jae-won snapped his index finger to the beat.
Lee Seo-jun snapped his index finger to the beat.
[I sang-]
Choi Jae-won sang with his voice ringing.
Lee Seo-jun sang with his voice ringing.
The two who stood on the stage looked like twins.
Director Jang was so surprised that he forgot to shout cut.
Lee Seo-jun, who didn't hear the cut sound even after his part was over, looked down with a slightly puzzled face.
Lee Seo-jun acted exactly the sa as Choi Jae-won at the sa ti.
At that sight, even the 1st team manager and Blue Moon opened their mouths.
Of course, Ahn Da Ho smiled contentedly.
“Cu, cut! Okay!”
Director Jang raised his voice belatedly.
At the sa ti, Lee Seo-jun and Choi Jae-won, who had been moving as if they were one, moved differently.
To be precise, Lee Seo-jun's acting, which had captured everything about Choi Jae-won, ended.
Lee Seo-jun and Choi Jae-won ca down from the stage to monitor.
They thought their younger siblings would chatter about their impressions, but they were quiet, so Choi Jae-won tilted his head.
“Why are you so quiet?”
“Jae-won hyung… Seo-jun's acting is no joke…”
“Huh?”
Choi Jae-won tilted his head at Kim Si-hoon's words, full of astonishnt.
Park Ee-deun, whose face was flushed, kept exclaiming and tapping Lee Seo-jun's shoulder.
“I got goosebumps! You even followed Jae-won hyung's confusion!”
“I practiced a few tis for the first part…”
Even Jung Eun-sung, who was calm about everything, looked quite surprised.
While Blue Moon and the 1st team manager were belatedly talking about their impressions, Director Jang couldn't take his eyes off the short repeating screen.
It seed like even the mont they blinked was the sa.
Choi Jae-won, who hadn't seen Lee Seo-jun's acting because he was looking at the cara, went next to Director Jang and looked at the monitor screen.
Then he opened his mouth wide at Lee Seo-jun's acting.
“…No… Seo-jun. Why did you follow even on this?”
“I didn't hear the cut sound.”
Whether it was NG or OK.
Unless it was a special situation, they had to continue filming until they heard the cut sound.
He said it as if it was natural, like a pro.
The rookie idols sincerely admired him.
