Anyone who heard George’s faint voice could tell that the person he called ‘Mr Ad’ was the owner of the tombstone that Hanna Wise was looking at.
“He said he wanted to hear Gray’s performance in person, if he ever got better and was discharged from the hospital.”
Seo-jun quietly looked at the filming set.
Even though it was a story in the movie, he felt his heart stirring.
He wondered if the other staff felt the same, as the atmosphere on the set seemed a bit solemn.
The assistant director asked another question.
It was probably something that the future viewers would be curious about.
“Was everything in the filming scripted?”
Reba shook her head.“No. All we nned was to let people y music for Gray. In parks or streets, not formal stages. Infortable clothes, not suits that fit perfectly. And not ying strictly by the score, but it was okay to make mistakes.”
Reba smiled brightly, remembering the time when she taught Gray violin in the park and yed with him.
“We hoped that Gray would remember his happy self, who yed music without any burden, by seeing them enjoy ying.”
“Of course, we asked them to y at the public cemetery. But whether he would y or not, that was up to Gray.”
Well, they expected it, knowing Gray’s personality.
“But we didn’t expect him to y two songs. And such amazing ones, too.”
Reba chuckled at George’s remark.
“Composing, too. Who would have thought that he would create new songs while listening to other people’s music… I was relieved to know that Gray still loved music, even if he was in a slump.”
The assistant director asked.
“Was the scene in Downlock scripted, too? The graffiti and the hospitality of the residents, I mean.”
“…”
Reba and George closed their mouths.
There was a saying that silence meant affirmation, but their expressions did not look like they were agreeing.
The emotion and the impression that welled up in their hearts were clearly visible on their faces.
“…No.”
Reba opened her mouth with a slightly damp voice.
“That was all real.”
“What we wanted to show Gray was the changed scenery of Downlock. Downlock filled with music and instruments. But we didn’t know how the people of Downlock would react. So we went there early in the morning.”
They wanted to show Gray the changed scenery of Downlock, but they didn’t know how the residents would react.
Reba and George remembered the people of Downlock as rough and prickly. If the atmosphere was still the same as ten years ago, it would have been rather harmful to the current Gray.
“So we thought we would just show him the old house where he could recall his old memories and the changed scenery of Downlock with fewer people in the early morning and then leave…”
It was a heartwarming scene, even now.
Reba and George, who knew the darkness and gloom of Downlock, were moved as much as Gray.
“It was a coincidence, but I think it helped Gray a lot.”
They smiled brightly, recalling Gray’s shining figure ying violin among the people of Downlock.
“And now, only thest n remains.”
“Originally, this was the most important n.”
This was what Reba and George had nned.
During the tour, they would let people y music for Gray and make good memories, and then explode them at the end. But Gray’s love for music was so great that he seemed to have ovee his slump already.
How admirable and splendid.
Our Gray.
But to ovee his slumppletely, the n was still going on.
They really wanted to show him.
“Thest n?”
The reason why they had to film a documentary. The reason why they had to borrow the power of the broadcasting station.
“There’s a charity concert left. To be exact,”
George said with a smile.
“A concert for Gray Vainy.”

-Is there no more Gray concert? Where’s the extra recruitment post for the concert?
=Nope. There’s nothing on SNS either.
=Maybe they’re not doing a big concert anymore because of the Johnny Struck incident?
-They’re still filming, right???
=Yeah. There was an article. They’re still filming. It’s just that studio filming doesn’t stand out much.
=Thank goodness?
-Then the concert scene filming must be over.
=The filming order and the story order of the movie are different, so I’m really curious what it’s about.
-I hope there are a lot of good songs this time too? I want to hear them soon??
=222 I want to hear thetter part of Good Morning too??
=333 If his other original songs are like this, Seo-jun could just walk the path of music…
=No way (serious)
=Seo-jun’s calling is acting (calligraphy)
=Newbies, reply faster??
The promotional articles for [Over the Rainbow 2], which had flooded the entertainment section since the filming started in LA, were gradually decreasing.
It wasn’t that the Johnny Struck incident had no effect, but the fact that thest performance venue was the Brad Hall of LA Music Academy was more important.
It was also the performance venue of [Over the Rainbow 1], after all. It was a kind of spoiler prevention.
“So they’re not going to promote it anymore?”
Seo-jun asked, looking at various sites in Korea and the US and checking the expectations of the people about [Over the Rainbow 2].
Tae-woo shook his head.
“No. They said they’ll start again when the filming ispletely over. They have to release Universe in November anyway, so they’re nning to promote it together.”
Ahn Da Ho stepped back and looked at him.
As the time to return to Korea approached, Ahn Da Ho was gradually increasing Tae-woo’s work.
He felt sorry, but also relieved.
Judging from his appearance so far, Tae-woo seemed to be a good manager, except for being a bit excessive.
But he was still Seo-jun’s manager now.
“Seo-jun. Today is the course registration, right?”
“Yes. I made n C yesterday.”
Seo-jun nodded seriously at Ahn Da Ho’s question.
Since it was a course registration in the US, the inte situation in Korea was quite different.
Some schools even went to PC rooms to register for courses, but Han Ye University was not like that, but the number of popr courses filled up in an instant.
So Seo-jun made a timetable from the best n A to the somewhat eptable n C.
“Isn’t it better to start from the first semester next year than to attend from the second semester?”
Seo-jun’s eyes sparkled at Tae-woo’s words.
“I have to graduate quickly and focus on my work!”
“And if I have a filming schedule, I might have to take a leave of absence. But I’m trying to avoid filming during the semester.”
Tae-woo nodded, thinking that it was not easy to do both acting and studying at the same time. He remembered that Seo-jun also had good grades at school.
And a littleter.
At 10 a.m. in Korean time. At 5 p.m. in LA time.@@novelbin@@
The course registration site of Han Ye University of Arts opened.
-Yang Ju Hee: I’m done!
-Yang Ju-hee: How did you guys do?
-Kim Joo-kyung: I registered for everything!
-Park Si-young: Ah, I missed one?
Since all the boys were in the army, only the girls’ messages were posted.
“Come to think of it, you’re all juniors now.”
Seo-jun was the only sophomore, and he was taking the second semester courses.
“I wonder if I know anyone.”
There would be many students who knew him.
-Yang Ju-hee: How about you, Seo-jun?
<I got everything I wanted.
-Park Si-young: Wow, you’re amazing! Isn’t the inte slow in the US?
-Kim Joo-kyung: You’re good at everything, even course registration???
Yang Ju-hee: ????
<?????
As he chatted with his friends, he felt like he was really going back to school.
-Yang Ju-hee: How’s the filming? Is it going well?
<There are only a few scenes left to film.
-Kim Joo-kyung: Eee. I can’t wait!
-Park Si-young: I’ll buy it as soon as ites out. Universe!
-Yang Ju-hee: They said they’re renting a theater at Saessakbuteo.
<That’s what they’re talking about at thepany, too.
-Kim Joo-kyung: Is it better to watch it in a theater?
<Yeah, watch it in a ce with good speakers???
<(A bear emoticon watching a movie on a home theater)
-Yang Ju-hee: Oh…!
-Park Si-young: You make me more excited when you say that??
-Kim Joo-kyung: Right!
As he yed with his friends for a while, he heard Tae-woo calling him.
“Seo-jun! Let’s have dinner!”
“Okay!”
***
From August 1st, thest filming of [Over the Rainbow 2], which had been going on for almost a month across the US, took ce at the Brad Hall of LA Music Academy.
“It’s been 10 years since we came here.”
Catherine and Paul looked around the unchanged Brad Hall with a curious expression.
They felt nostalgic, as it was the ce where they filmed thest concert scene of [Over the Rainbow 1].
“Let’s go get ready.”
“Okay.”
They passed by the busy staff, and Seo-jun, Catherine, and Paul headed to the dressing room. Seo-jun put on a wig as usual, and Catherine and Paul changed their clothes.
When Seo-jun finished changing his clothes and putting on makeup, Emily, the assistant director, came in with a knock.
“Do you want to greet the people who will y for you today, if you’re ready?”
“Yes. Sure.”
Seo-jun and the two actors nodded willingly.
The performers who would go on stage and film the ying scene today were waiting in a ce a little away from the dressing room, and they were chatting with each other, smiling. They were of different ages and genders.
“Hello.”
“Nice to meet you!”
They all opened their mouths wide, seeing Seo-jun, Catherine, and Paul entering through the door. They also let out a scream-like cheer. And then they rushed to the three actors.
“Paul! Nice to see you!”
“Catherine. I’m a fan!”
“Seo-jun! Can you sign for me?”
“Lee. I’m a real fan.”
“I listen to your violin ying every day.”
The atmosphere was like they were at a fan meeting.
Especially, Seo-jun was the most popr. He felt a deep affection from the performers who looked at him.
“Thank you.”
He felt embarrassed and his face turned a little red, seeing them show their feelings without any distinction of age or gender. The adults smiled at his expression.
“We’ll do our best not to interfere with the filming!”
“We practiced hard!”
“Please listen well! Seo-jun!”
The children who looked like elementary school students clenched their fists and spoke with sparkling eyes. Seo-jun smiled and nodded.
“Thank you. I’ll listen carefully without missing a single note.”
“Wow!”
After exchanging a brief and noisy greeting, the three actors returned to the waiting room.
“Seo-jun is really popr.”
“Yeah.”
“Haha.”
Seo-jun scratched his cheek at his friends’ughter-filled words.
He felt embarrassed, but also happy.
***
The extras who signed the confidentiality agreement took their seats in the audience of the Brad Hall.
Among them were Choi Yoo-seung, Natalie, and their friends. Just like the filming of [Over the Rainbow 1] ten years ago.
“I didn’t expect Whale Studio to contact us.”
“Me neither.”
Unlike the SNS reviews that said they attended ‘Gray’s concert’ in formal attire, Choi Yoo-seung, Natalie, their friends, and the surrounding audience were all dressed casually.
On one side of the audience, there were people in hospital gowns (probably patients) and people in worn-out clothes (probably residents of Downlock).
Natalie opened her mouth as she looked around the audience.
“It was like this ten years ago, right?”
“Yeah. It feels like…”
It seemed like they recreated thest scene of [Over the Rainbow 1].
As that thought crossed his mind, Choi Yoo-seung sighed.
“Ah, I feel like I’ve been spoiled…”
