Like flowing river, time flew by.
The filming of Han Suk's new movie had been launched over a week now, and the pictures taken at the opening ceremony of the movie's set had been very popular on the Internet.
Many big stars in the circle had gone to congratulate him and some have even made guest appearances on it.
Whereas, the opening ceremony to the beginning of the filming of "Only You" on the other side was quite uneventful.
"Brother Heo, the opening ceremony to the filming of Han Suk's "Once Upon A Time" was so popular, why doesn't Mr. Sang hold one here as well?" Cho Mi-Cha asked Heo Jiwoo who was standing beside her like a curious baby.
"What's the point of a launch ceremony? When we began shooting Atlantis Princess the last time, Mr. Sang didn't have any launch ceremony for it, but it still broke the record for youth romance films, didn't it? Mr. Sang doesn't like those kind of fake things." Heo Jiwoo frowned disdainfully. "Han Suk boasted so much, who knows how much the box office will be in the end."
The two chatted idly.
Han Suk had held a grand opening ceremony a week ago.
Atlas finally arranged everything and started filming today. Everything was going on in an orderly manner. The filming location was still the Seoul Academy of Arts. With the foundation laid by "Atlantis Princess", all preparations here were complete.
"Okay, stop gossiping and get ready to film." Atlas's voice sounded behind Heo Jiwoo and Cho Mi-Cha.
Through the corner of her eyes, Cho Mi-Cha saw Heo Jiwoo shuddering subconsciously. She couldn't help but wondered in curiosity. Was he that scary?
If she was asked about her impression of him, although Mr. Sang was young and talented, she would say he never took advantage of his talent and was completely capable of being joked with.
"All departments ready? Camera, check the camera position. Camera No. 2, turn over here. Turn on the lights for testing, and the recording team should get ready to pick up the sound..." Atlas pointed out every detail. He knew every detail on the set may affect the quality of the final film.
"Mr. Sang, the camera position has been adjusted!"
"Mr. Sang, do you think the lighting needs to be brighter?"
"There's no problem with the radio, Mr. Sang, don't worry!"
All departments were preparing in an orderly manner. All the teams in this crew were poached by Madam Chang from Joseon company. They were not the best, but they were definitely not the worst either.
All departments were ready, and the filming officially began with Atlas's announcement.
"Seok Hoon, what do you want to perform?" Cho Mi-Cha smiled faintly and looked at the actor who played Seok Hoon sliding down from the handrail.
"Bin Min-Hee, I just invented a new magic trick. I'll show it to you first."
"Jin Eui, do you want to take a look too?"
"Is it funny?"
"Yeah, that's amazing."
"Look carefully..."
The actor who played Seok Hoon moved his hands mysteriously.
Cho Mi-Cha always had a faint smile on her face, which looked just perfect in the sunlight.
A light breeze blew.
Cho Mi-Cha's hair and long skirt were blown up by the wind.
Atlas sat on a chair, called a stop, and called Cho Mi-Cha and the actor who played Seok Hoon over. "When performing this particular magic, you should look at Cho Mi-Cha, and you can laugh a little more. Don't be too reserved. As you know, this character is meant to be funny and exaggerated."
"Okay, okay, I understand, Mr. Sang." He was obviously a little nervous.
"Cho Mi-Cha, this isn't the first time this character has used such a boring trick to please you. So, don't pay too much attention to him, understand?"
Cho Mi-Cha nodded her head and thought about it, then said that she had no problem. At the beginning of the filming, she was obviously a little nervous. The transformation she experienced from casting supporting roles to being the leading actress was so fast that she had no time to react.
In the early stages, the shots Atlas chose were relatively simple. However, she also made some low-level mistakes, causing many people to privately have some opinions about her.
Cho Mi-Cha finally understood why Heo Jiwoo was afraid of Atlas. The young man could joke around casually in his daily life. However, once on the set, his authority was unquestionable.
Fortunately, after a few days of adjustment, Cho Mi-Cha gradually adapted to the rhythm of the film's shooting. Her talent was finally revealed and her acting became better and better. The people who had been complaining before also kept quiet.
The entertainment industry was indeed so realistic.
As the shooting progress was accelerating, Chang Mi-Sun walked up to Atlas. She had already sorted out all the materials and registered a new studio for Atlas under the name: Bright Light.
This was the name of Atlas's studio in his previous life. Immediately after this new studio was successfully registered, Cho Mi-Cha was the first artist they successfully signed. They were now making some progress.
"I've been looking at a few photographers recently, but none of the ones I've seen have the skills you require. Those with skills have basically been signed by big companies, or have created their own companies and studios. There are a few whose contracts are about to expire, but when they heard about our studio, they all said they were not interested."
"Do you know why?"
"Well, I figured it has nothing to do with money. Even when I offered a higher price, they didn't take it. I believe it's about your company's reputation. After all, you've only made one movie, and no one knows if your next one will be as successful." Chang Mi-Sun replied, feeling somewhat helpless.
She know how much the young man wanted to form his own crew so he would no longer be controlled by others. Unfortunately, she couldn't find a suitable candidate for him.
"It's okay. We have plenty of time. You can try to pay attention to singers and young actors. We just need to introduce one person to the world first. I have enough capital to cover this. And if it's about the crew, we can still borrow them your mum."
Chang Mi-Sun nodded in agreement. Everything in the studio was just starting up right now, and there was still a lot to do. "By the way, some media contacted me and wanted to visit the crew while filming, and maybe interview you as well. Would you like them to come?"
"No." Atlas shook his head. "I'll reject all requests like this. I don't like the media watching me when I'm filming."
"Okay."
***
The crew's filming was still proceeding in an orderly manner, but the shots gradually became more difficult, and the actors also started to be stuck in their scenes one after another, and the progress began to be delayed.
But fortunately, after his knowledge from the previous movie, Son Youngsoo was now able to stand on his own.
Atlas gave him the role of the supporting casts and asked him to finesse it. As for himself, he focused on the roles of the main leads.
The crew became increasingly busy, but fortunately not many people complained as everyone was used to this situation.
However, just when the crew was nearing the end of the filming, Heo Jiwoo was accidentally injured on the head.
