Peninsula: I can steal the luck of disgraced celebrities

Eun-jung smiled at Lim Ji-hoon, but did not respond to his nonsense.

After the schedule was cleared up, the afternoon's reshoots in Hongdae went smoothly, with adequate security and no further mishaps.

The filming of the sixth episode officially began the following day.

The crew was busy early in the morning. The dressing room was packed with people, and stylists were using hair dryers and curling irons in turn.

Lin Chih-hsun sat in the makeup chair as the stylist touched up his makeup. He looked down at the storyboard of today's key scene.

The storyline of this scene is as follows—

Out of jealousy for Hye-mi, Baek-hee deliberately pushed a potted plant out of a second-floor window of the teaching building, intending to hit Hye-mi as she walked by below.

When Mori saw the flowerpot fall, he rushed over and pushed Emi away, but was hit on the head and fainted on the spot. He was then sent to the emergency room.

Huimei stayed by the hospital bedside all night.

Lin Zhixun closed the storyboard.

The difficulty of this scene lies not in acting skills.

And in that flowerpot.

The props team has already told him that the flowerpot is specially made, made of foam with a layer of paint on the outside, so it has almost no impact when falling from a height.

The problem is that he has to react as if he's been hit the moment the flowerpot falls, while simultaneously pushing Suzy away.

The time window is only a fraction of a second.

After finishing his makeup, Lin Chih-hsun walked to the filming location.

The open space outside the teaching building has been fenced off. The camera crew has set up three cameras: one fixed in position to shoot a panoramic view, one to follow Lin Zhixun and Suzy, and one upstairs to shoot close-ups of flower pots falling.

The director stood next to the monitor with a walkie-talkie in hand. When he saw Lin Chih-hsun coming over, he waved.

"Shihoon, come and walk over here."

Lin Chih-hsun walked over, and the director pointed upstairs.

"We pushed the flowerpot down from that window, and we adjusted the angle so it would land in this spot."

A cross was drawn on the ground.

"Stand here." The director led him to a spot two meters away from the cross, and then told Suzy to stand near the cross.

"Suzy walked past the X mark, you rushed over from this side and pushed her, and then the flower pot landed near where you were standing."

"Do I really need to get hit?"

"No need, just let the flowerpot fall next to you. Just make a reaction as if you've been hit, and we'll edit it in later." The director paused. "But Ji-hoon, be careful with your strength when you push Suzy. Don't actually make her fall."

Those who overheard this laughed.

"Don't worry, Director, I won't push Suzy into the Somali waters. There are pirates there, it's very dangerous," Lim Ji-hoon patted his chest.

Director Lee Eung-bok laughed and said, "If you can do that, South Korea can start the Super Soldier program."

After Lin Zhixun and Suzy went through the positions twice, filming officially began.

"Episode 6, Scene 14, Scenario A, Take 1!"

The stage manager claps the clapperboard.

Xiuzhi walked out of the teaching building with her head down. After walking to her usual spot, her shoelaces came undone, so she squatted down to tie them.

Lin Chih-hsun was standing not far away when the director signaled him to rush over.

Upstairs, the props crew was holding the flowerpot, waiting for the director's signal.

"Now!"

A flowerpot was thrown from the second floor.

Lin Zhixun charged out according to the positioning.

Then he discovered a problem.

wind.

It's windy today.

The flowerpot's trajectory was deflected by the crosswind.

The flowerpot, which should have been placed at the cross mark, was tilted nearly half a meter towards Suzy.

Lin Zhixun's calculations were instantly overturned and restarted.

According to the original plan, after he pushed Suzy, the flowerpot would fall to the side.

But now the flowerpot is tilted.

If he had continued running along the original route, the flowerpot would have hit Suzy directly.

Lin Zhixun didn't think much of it.

He quickened his pace, pulling Suzy tightly into his arms, his body filling the spot where the flowerpot would have hit her.

The flowerpot hit him right on the back of the head.

Although it was made of foam, falling from a height of two stories, combined with the wind changing the angle, resulted in the impact point being the left side of the back of the head, where the scalp is very thin.

Lin Chih-hsun felt a buzzing in his head.

Then he felt something warm flowing down his hair roots.

bleeding.

The rim of the foam flowerpot has a decorative ring of hard plastic; that's what cut open the scalp.

Suzy, who was originally being held in Lin Zhixun's arms, revealed a smug expression on her face when the camera couldn't see her.

Following the script, she looked up at Lin Chih-hsun.

Then she saw blood.

There is a red mark on the left side of Lin Chih-hsun's hair, which is slowly widening.

Suzy's expression changed.

The script says, "The two ask each other if they are alright, and after Suzy says she is fine, Lim Ji-hoon collapses."

But Suzy didn't follow the script.

She practically bounced up.

Her knees hit the concrete floor, and she hugged Lin Zhixun tightly, her hands trembling as she reached out to touch his head.

"ah--"

That sound wasn't a line from a script; it was Suzy herself squeezing it out of her throat.

The director behind the monitor stood up, his hand already raised in mid-air, ready to call "cut".

With his head buried in his bun, Lin Zhixun, using the side that Suzy was blocking, stretched out his right hand towards the director, making a gesture of stopping him.

The director was stunned.

The assistant director leaned over and whispered, "Should we stop?"

The director stared at the monitor screen. Suzy was kneeling next to Lim Ji-hoon, holding his face in her hands, her fingers stained with blood, and she was trembling violently.

That kind of panic can't be faked.

Her fingertips touched the wound but then withdrew, wanting to touch it but not daring to, her eyes gradually reddening in front of the camera.

The director slowly lowered his hand.

"……continue."

The cameraman wasn't stupid either; the camera he was using had already zoomed in, capturing every subtle change in Suzy's face.

Lin Chih-hsun cooperated by closing his eyes and "fainting".

He could feel that Suzy's hands were trembling.

"Ah Dong! Hey! Song Sen Dong!"

This is a line from the script.

But when Suzy read it out, her voice was distorted.

"How could you be so foolish..."

This line wasn't in the script.

The director didn't call "cut".

About ten seconds later, the director finally spoke.

"Card!"

The entire room was silent for a full two seconds.

Then everyone started moving at the same time.

The props crew ran downstairs apologizing repeatedly, the stagehands jogged to get a first-aid kit, and the assistant director called for medical personnel.

Lin Zhixun opened his eyes and sat up.

Blood had already flowed down his neck to his collar, making the wound look much more serious than it actually was. That's how scalp injuries are; there's a lot of bleeding, but the wound isn't deep.

Suzy remained kneeling beside him, not moving.

Lin Zhixun turned to look at her and noticed that Suzy's hands were still trembling.

"I'm fine." Lin Zhixun wiped the blood from his neck with the back of his hand. "It's just a little cut."

Suzy didn't say anything, stared at the wound on his head for three seconds, then stood up and left.

They walked very fast.

Lin Zhixun watched her retreating figure, wanting to call out to her, but the medical staff had already squatted down in front of him.

"Mr. Lin, don't move, let me check the wound first."

The medical staff parted his hair and examined him.

"It's a superficial wound, not deep. A simple disinfection and bandage will suffice. No stitches are needed."
