Chapter 9 - The Filming Will Continue

In the morning of the following day, Atlas sat in the director's chair, contemplating. Everyone around him was silent and did not dare to come forward to talk to make enquiries.

Even Son Youngsoo, who had worked with Atlas on a movie before and knew Atlas's character very well, had a gloomy face and did not dare to respond.

Except for Atlas, everyone in the entire crew looked unhappy.

Just yesterday, while filming the scene where Sa Kwang organized a fighting competition, Heo Jiwoo fell to the ground and suffered a bleeding head injury.

The props team's preparations were comprehensive, the protective measures were in compliance with the regulations, and there were no problems with them whatsoever.

Accidents were inevitable. During the filming process, the crew would eventually encounter various problems that they had to solve.

Heo Jiwoo's injury was not too serious, but as the leading actor, his injury would definitely affect the filming progress and lead to delays.

They could choose a stand-in, or shoot other people's parts first, but the problem was that Heo Jiwoo was the lead actor.

Towards the middle and later stages of the filming, Heo Jiwoo and Cho Mi-Cha had more scenes left. Without Heo Jiwoo, there were really not many scenes left.

The biggest reason why everyone looked unhappy was because someone was taking advantage of the situation to sell the information to the media.

It was clearly stated on the hot search that an accident occurred on the set of "Only You" and the leading actor Heo Jiwoo was injured.

As a new movie that was currently in the limelight, this matter had already caused a sensation. The reputation of the entire crew suffered because of this.

"Cheer up, guys. We'll skip Heo Jiwoo's scenes for now. and arrange a stand-in for the shots where his face isn't shown. Even without Heo Jiwoo, the filming will continue." Atlas spoke sympathetically with confidence.

He wasn't affected too much. The temporary absence of the leading actor due to injury was not uncommon in movies with action scenes.

He had encountered more complicated problems than this in his previous life, so there was no need to panic. If they could use a substitute, rhen they would use one. If not, they would just delay some progress.

Soon, the filming resumed.

The stuntman's role was simple, but he was not a professional actor after all. So he made frequent mistakes due to nervousness, resulting in slow progress. However, Atlas continued to correct and direct him patiently.

Three days later.

Heo Jiwoo suddenly appeared in front of Atlas, covering his head and smiling. "Mr. Sang, I'm fine now. It's just a minor injury, no problem."

He spread his hands, trying to appear relaxed, However, the scar on his head showed he needed rest. 

"Will it leave a scar?" Atlas asked with concern.

"Not at all. I was told by the doctor that since it's nothing serious, it won't leave a scar. So, don't worry, Mr. Sang." Heo Jiwoo waved his hands quickly.

He was very clear about his own situation in his mind. He was able to leap from a third-tier TV actor to where he was today, all thanks to Mr. Sang in front of him. So, he don't dare to put on arrogant airs at all. 

Although he was really injured, and had reasons to rest, he did not forget that Sang Young and Han Suk still had a wager. When there was a stake, the sooner the shooting was completed the better.

Whoever could finish filming first and take advantage of the first mover advantage to start promoting had already won half the battle. 

Although Heo Jiwoo was extremely confident about the script, director and actors of this movie, but having worked in the entertainment industry for a while now, he certainly knew how important publicity was.

The filming had been postponed for a week due to his injury, and the shooting had almost come to a standstill during this week.

If it was delayed any further, the progress of the film would be greatly affected.
