Peninsula: I can steal the luck of disgraced celebrities

Suzy's fingers touched the edge of the gauze, even more gently than last night.

She peeled the tape off bit by bit.

When the old gauze was removed, it brought with it some dried blood scabs. Lin Zhixun took a breath.

"Bear with it."

"Why is it that line again? I'm not a ninja."

"If you're not happy about it, just bear with it."

Lim Ji-hoon: "..."

Are humans essentially just repeaters?

He didn't say anything more, and obediently lowered his head to let her change the dressing.

The iodine solution felt a little cool when it was applied. The cotton swab circled the wound twice, and Xiuzhi's breath was very close to the top of his head.

"It's scabbed over, and it's healing quite quickly."

Suzy applied the new gauze and pressed the tape firmly.

"alright."

Lin Zhixun looked up and saw that Suzy was already standing up straight, packing her things.

"Suzy".

"Um?"

"Could you please not come at 6:40? It's too early."

"It's not early, I usually get up around this time too."

Lin Chih-hsun chuckled.

At this time of day, I usually don't hear you washing up in your room.

Suzy picked up the plastic bag and walked to the entrance of the cave.

"Wait a minute," Lin Zhixun called out to her.

Suzy turned her head.

Do you know what scenes we're filming today?

"The scenes between me and Eun-jung unnie in the second half of episode six."

"Okay, then don't let her overpower you."

Suzy tilted her head slightly.

"When did you start worrying about my acting skills?"

"I'm not worried about your acting skills." Lin Zhixun lay back on the bed. "I'm worried that you were overshadowed by Eun Jung-yeon, after all, you had such heavy dark circles under your eyes today."

Lin Zhixun wanted her to stop getting up so early.

Suzy didn't reply, and crawled through the hole back.

Lin Zhixun suspected that she went back to touch up her makeup.

The wardrobe was pushed back into its original position.

Lin Chih-hsun lay there for ten minutes, then completely lost his sleepiness and got up to wash up.

After washing her face, she looked in the mirror and saw that the gauze on her head was neatly applied, proving that Suzy's hands were indeed steady.

At 7:30, Lin Zhixun arrived at the film crew's temporary canteen.

The canteen was converted from a large room on the first floor of the camp, with four long tables pushed together. Breakfast consisted of seaweed rice rolls and miso soup.

Eun-jung was already sitting in the corner, with a plate of seaweed rice rolls in front of her.

When she saw Lim Ji-hoon come in, Eun-jung raised her chin.

"How's your head?"

"Still that sharp mind that got into Yonsei University."

Upon hearing this, Ham Eun-jung placed her hand on Lim Ji-hoon's forehead and said with concern, "It seems you really were hurt by the flowerpot. You're talking nonsense first thing in the morning."

Yonsei University is part of the "SKY" top university alliance, consistently ranking second in South Korea. Getting into that university basically opens the door to South Korea's elite circle.

In addition to talent, those who can get into Yonsei University need to be from wealthy families who can afford expensive tutoring and medication. Some with poor mental health may even need to see a psychologist regularly.

Anyway, Ham Eun-jung doesn't believe that Lim Ji-hoon has the family background and brains to become an actor.

Lin Zhixun didn't explain, but sat down opposite her with the tray in his hand.

Eun-jung stared at the gauze on his head for two seconds.

"It's been changed?"

"Yes, I changed it early this morning."

"Who changed it? Are the infirmary staff at work this early?"

Lin Zhixun picked up a piece of seaweed rice roll and stuffed it into his mouth, mumbling a reply: "Mmm."

Eun-jung didn't press the matter.

After finishing breakfast, Lin Zhixun ran into the assistant director in the corridor.

"Ji-hoon XI, the director asked me to tell you that your scenes this morning have been moved up. We'll be filming Eun-jung and Suzy's scenes together first."

"Okay, what's the reason?"

"The director said you can rest for half a day and go on set again in the afternoon."

Lin Chih-hsun nodded and was about to leave when the assistant director called him back.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

"What?"

"SBS called and said they wanted to invite the actors from our drama to appear on the show 'Running Man'."

Lin Zhixun raised an eyebrow.

Running Man.

Lin Chih-hsun was already very familiar with this variety show in his previous life. Of course, he was more familiar with the version that was later introduced to China, "Running Man," rather than the Korean version.

The current "Running Man" is not yet a huge hit; it's still in its growth phase.

Song Joong-ki is also a regular guest on the show.

When will it be recorded?

"It's not decided yet. Maybe next week, the director will have you guys discuss it. If you're interested, then reply."

"I'm fine."

Lin Zhixun figured he had nothing to do back in his room, so he decided to go watch Suzy and Eunjung filming.

When he arrived at the studio, he found that the film crew was not shooting.

Instead, a group of people were gathered together, arguing about something.

Lin Zhixun curiously walked over to the assistant director and asked:

"Director, what are you doing...?"

The assistant director, upon seeing Lin Zhixun, seemed startled as if he had seen a ghost. "Zhixun-xi, what brings you here? Didn't I tell you to rest? You don't have any scenes to film this morning."

Lin Zhixun scratched his head, "I was just bored staying in my room."

He looked at the group of strangers who didn't seem to be from the film crew and asked, "Who are they...?"

The assistant director sighed, "I didn't want you to overthink things, that's why I told you not to come."

"They are from the Safety Inspection Committee under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of South Korea."

"They received a report that a safety incident had occurred on our film set."

According to Article 17 of the "Safety and Health in the Production of Imaging Products Act", if a personal injury accident occurs during filming, filming must be stopped for a safety assessment, and filming can only resume after the assessment is passed.

Lin Chih-hsun was taken aback. "I'm not going to pursue this myself, and this injury won't affect filming."

"The law does not depend on whether the parties involved pursue legal action."

One of the strangers appeared in front of Lin Zhixun and the assistant director at some point.

"We need to conduct a comprehensive inspection of your production crew's safety facilities, prop management procedures, and emergency plans. During the inspection, the production crew must suspend filming."

Director Lee Eung-bok also came over. "Ji-hoon-ssi, go back and rest. This has nothing to do with you. We'll handle this."

"My head is fine now, director. I'm also a member of the crew, and I want to know the result too."

Director Lee Eung-bok sighed, "Alright."

The director negotiated with Chief Kim for ten minutes, but made no progress.

Section Chief Jin had documents, legal provisions, and whistleblower record numbers in his hands; everything was compliant and legal. The two people he brought had already begun to look around the studio; one was taking pictures of the props area, and the other was recording the location of the safety exits.

"How long will it take at the very least?" Director Li Yingfu asked.

"The evaluation period is five to seven working days."

"Five to seven—" Director Lee Eung-bok took a deep breath. "Chief Kim, this drama is a key project for KBS, and the broadcast schedule has already been set. Five to seven days..."

"Director Li, I understand your difficulties." Chief Jin's expression remained completely calm. "But security cannot be compromised."

The director glanced back at the producer, whose face darkened.

Five to seven days.

The fifth episode has just finished filming, and the sixth episode is currently being filmed. If filming is halted for five to seven days, all subsequent filming plans will have to be postponed, and editing, dubbing, and post-production will all be affected.

More importantly, others won't wait.

The broadcast schedule isn't something your production team can just change on their own. The TV station's contracts and time slots have already been arranged. If you stop production for a week, the subsequent episodes won't be able to keep up, and that means the show will be discontinued.

The implications of a hiatus for a currently airing TV series are self-evident.

Lin Zhixun sighed.

The Na-young case, the Park Yoo-chun and Hwang Ha-na case, the Busan Chinese tourist case...

How the law is enforced is ultimately up to them.
