The second take was smoother than before because Max already had an idea of how much speed he needed to move. He matched Brian's and was always two steps slower than the young actor.
Holding back was the right choice. While he or his acting partner still made some mistakes, it didn't take long until Director Hugo was satisfied with the result and moved to the second scene.
The scene was about Max looking at Brian training before fading in. The friend left the Tag House and left him because he had training in the VR world.
It was an easy scene, and both of them only needed 3 takes to finish it. And after that was Max's solo scene. Brian had no more role, so he and his manager left the shooting area.
"We're going for a 30-minute break!" Director Hugo announced loudly, "Breeze, come here. There is something we need to talk about. Mark too, come here!"
Having been called, Max approached Director Hugo. The man called Mark, who wore a cap, also approached. He was the main cameraman and the one responsible for directing the others in the director's place.
When they got close, the director suddenly opened two screens in front of them.
"I am changing the third and last scene. Read them."
That was what he said before closing his eyes. The bearded man didn't seem to be willing to listen to anything.
"Haa... You're always like this, director." The cameraman, Mark, sighed and downloaded the new script.
Then, he looked at Max.
"Breeze, is it? Can you remember the new script while resting? Please do forgive our director. He probably saw potential in you and changed the script. The new one is probably the better script. Ask me anything if you don't understand something."
"Hahaha... Thank you." Max laughed dryly and downloaded the new script.
He glanced at the director for a second. The bearded man looked as if he was sleeping and would get angry if he was disturbed.
So, he quietly went to his resting area where Michael had been waiting while holding a bottle of energy drink and a towel.
"Are there any problems?" The temporary manager asked as he handed the towel to him.
So he just concentrated on his part, the parkour, and enjoyed it. Running across the ground, he vaulted over the obstacle and rolled.
Then, he looked for another obstacle to climb and followed a certain routine while occasionally looking back for the sake of the concept he had in mind.
'It's fun!'
On the side, the main cameraman, Mark, saw what Max did and was amazed. He instinctively took the camera and pointed it at him, who ran across the obstacle and jumped around to clear them easily. He took some kind of path, and sometimes, he looked back as if he was chased by something. chapter-source-MvLeMpYr
His run was not without any goal.
When Mark was mesmerized and could see the illusion of Max being chased by someone, he felt a touch on his shoulder.
"What is he doing?"
A rough voice belonging to Director Hugo rang. The bearded man suddenly stood beside the camera and looked at the streamer running across the obstacles like a free bird.
"My apologies, director. But I thought it would be a waste not to record this." Mark quickly made an excuse and prepared to get yelled at.
However, unexpectedly, Director Hugo didn't do that.
"No, it's okay. Keep recording. That boy asked whether he could record his part for a personal video, so give this record to him later. I will allow it."
"Is that okay, sir?"
"Yeah. It will also serve as a free promotion for the brand. Look at him. He properly wore the shoes because he knew about that, too. Just stop him right before we continue shooting. Also, we can use this footage if there is something missing.
Just keep recording."
"Yes, sir."
With that, Director Hugo patted Mark's shoulder again and returned to his seat. He looked at the streamer he looked down at for once and smirked.
'This will be a good ad video.'
