HE RETURNED AS A HIGH SCHOOL GIRL (PART ll)

Chapter 262: Job Matching Hobby (4)

A multitude of people were gathered at the Steel Man 3 set location with the Han River as the background. Lotier was also extremely famous in Korea due to the Steel Man series’s massive success. He waved to his fans after changing into the suit, to which they screamed with joy in response.

Camera shutters could be heard all around them. Lotier smiled while looking at the passionate Korean fans.

“I’ve felt this every time I’ve come to Korea, but I love how energetic the fans are here.”

Kang Ra-Eun nodded in agreement. There were many occasions of foreign singers being moved by how Korean fans sang along with them during their concerts. Not just singers, but actors also felt the same way. Lotier had been in a great mood ever since a plethora of fans had come to the airport to see him. He was honestly a little envious of Ra-Eun.

“I’m sure it’s fun to be an actor in such a passionate country,” he remarked.

“I guess it is.”

However, it wasn’t only fun. Such passion was also occasionally used in a negative way, in the form of hate comments. Ra-Eun did not pay much mind to hate comments; even when seeing highly vulgar ones, she was not offended much because she had yet to fully perceive herself as a woman. Due to that, she became known as an actress with an unbreakable mentality, which was one of the reasons why Director Geneve had cast her as Black Cat.

Lotier stood in front of the camera first to shoot scene #15-2.

“Take 1! Ready, action!”

Lotier’s expression changed as soon as the cameras began to roll. Ra-Eun was impressed by how quickly he had switched from being playful to serious.

‘That’s a Hollywood actor for you. He’s completely different in front of the cameras.’

It had been as if he had flipped a switch to turn on his actor mode. The spectators also silently watched Lotier’s performance. Despite wearing a heavy suit, Lotier enacted his action performance against imaginary enemies just like it was written in the script.

Steel Man’s main weapon was his mechanical suit itself. He defeated his enemies with weapons built into the suit.

‘Stuff like beams and missiles will be CG’ed in later.’

Although there wasn’t much to see on the set, Steel Man’s action scenes on the screen were flashier and more intense than those of any other hero. That was the power of CG. On the other hand, Black Cat did not require as much CG as Steel Man. To put it simply, the scenes were highly physical.

“Okay! Let’s move on to Black Cat’s action scene.”

Ra-Eun’s turn had arrived after Lotier’s. She held one last rehearsal with the extras playing the villain’s underlings before getting into the real thing. She was all ready now.

“Scene #17. Take 1. Ready... Action!”

Ra-Eun’s Hollywood debut had finally begun.

Ra-Eun had more or less been able to perform the action scenes that she had wanted during shoots of the drama Reaper. She then starred in productions like Waitress, One of a Kind of Girl, Shuttered, and the recent Spokesperson, which all managed to become massive hits. However, they couldn’t have been further from the action productions that she had desperately wanted.

However, the Black Cat role had finally given her the opportunity to unleash her desire for action scenes that had been stuffed into the corners of her mind. The extras wearing special makeup ran toward Ra-Eun as soon as they were given the signal. Ra-Eun took out a stun gun, one of the many weapons on her belt, and aimed it at the frontmost extra.
