Chapter 12
Kang Sora, who introduced herself as the marketing team leader, asked. Seo Eun-hye looked at the clock while holding Seo-jun, who was lying on the baby bed. -Oh, Seo-jun!-
Yes. He can eat in about 10 minutes.
Thats good. Then, shall we wait at the set?
Seo Eun-hye carried Seo-jun and Lee Min-joon held a teddy bear.
They followed Kang Sora out of the waiting room and saw the living room that was being set up.
It was similar to their home living room, but it had a warmer and cozier atmosphere.
Its pretty.
Thank you.
A man walked over from afar. He kept touching his clean-shaven chin with his hand, as if he was not used to it. Kang Sora introduced the man.
This is Choi Dae-man, the director who will be in charge of the CF shooting today.
Nice to meet you.
Hello.
Choi Dae-man, who had a deep voice, nodded and met Seo-juns eyes. He was the one who made him shave his beard, which he always kept scruffy because of his short film shooting.
Seo-jun also looked at the man in front of him. He seemed like a good person, judging by his clear and bright eyes. He laughed out loud.
Thats nice. The baby is not shy at all.
Choi Dae-man, who had a rather fierce-looking face, was not very popular with children. They would cry whenever he got close to them. He did not hate children, but he felt reluctant to approach them when they cried like that.
Fortunately, Seo-jun did not shy away from him, but smiled brightly.
The shooting preparation is done. You can feed him anytime. We will use five cameras: one in front, two on the sides, one behind, and one above. We will try to get it done in one take as much as possible.
Choi Dae-man explained the shooting content.
First, we will film Seo-jun drinking formula. Then, after he finishes, we will film him hugging the Elephant formula case like a doll and smiling brightly.
Seo Eun-hye thought for a moment. Drinking formula was fine. But hugging the Elephant case, and smiling brightly at that
Seo-jun is smart, but I dont think he can do it in one go Is that okay?
Its okay. Everyone came prepared.
The staff members at the set sighed inwardly. Thats how it was when shooting with children. Especially when they were babies who could not even do what their parents told them.
Choi Dae-man also braced himself for a long shooting time. He came here to earn money for his independent film that he was producing with his own funds.
At this age He cant hold the bottle by himself, right?
No. They usually can hold it by themselves when they are 7 or 8 months old.
Oh, really? Well, then, I was going to use a model, but if he can hold it by himself, that would be fine too. It might be uncomfortable for him to be in a strangers arms.
Then, do you have something like a baby chair
Here it is!
Kang Sora, who had run to the waiting room, came back with a soft baby sofa that was tilted at about 45 degrees. Seo Eun-hye and Lee Min-joon smiled awkwardly at her enthusiastic attitude.
You have it.
Yes. Then, please make some formula for Seo-jun, and team leader, please bring the chair over here.
Seo Eun-hye went into the waiting room to make some formula, following Choi Dae-mans words. Kang Sora and Choi Dae-man placed the chair in the center of the living room and turned it around. They moved it slightly depending on where it was reflected on the camera screen.
As Seo Eun-hye prepared the formula, Choi Dae-man led Lee Min-joon, who was holding Seo Joon, to the living room. Lee Min-joon carefully placed Seo Joon on the baby sofa. He also put down the teddy bear he was holding next to him. He arranged the teddy bears arm so that Seo Joon could grab it.
Seo Joon, lets eat.
Seo Eun-hye handed the bottle to Seo Joon. Seo Joon grabbed the bottle with his tiny hand.
The warm and delicious formula. Seo Joon felt the warmth of the bottle on his palm and smiled brightly. He was just hungry.
Ready! Action!
Director Choi Dae-man whispered. The set became quiet in an instant. The eyes of Director Choi Dae-man, Team Leader Kang So-ra, Team Leader Choi Hyun-ji, who appeared out of nowhere, and the couple were fixed on the large screen.
Seo Joon, who was holding the bottle, was captured by the camera. Seo Joon bit the nipple.
Slurp slurp-
The only sound in the set was Seo Joon drinking the formula. Fortunately, he didnt cry and seemed comfortable on the sofa. He ate very well.
Is that the mukbang?
One of the staff members who hadnt seen Seo Joons YouTube video asked his senior. The senior nodded.
Yes.
The baby is very cute and eats well, but Its ordinary, isnt it? The way he eats.
Kids his age cant take their eyes off him.
Like the music video review video, the review videos of the babies who watched Seo Joons mukbang started to appear. They all looked mesmerized as they ate.
But the baby is really cute. He doesnt seem to be aware of the camera.
Do you think he knows what a camera is at that age?
But isnt the set a scary atmosphere? The lights are bright, theres no one around, and its quiet. There are a lot of strange things
The staff member was right. Any other baby would have burst into tears.
Im eating right now.
Thats true.
The next scene is more important than this one. Please pass it in one go.
The staff nodded at the seniors words.
Burp-
Seo-jun finished his formula. He burped in Seo-eun-hyes arms. Lee Min-joon, who was shaking Seo-juns hand next to him, chuckled.
Huh?
Whats wrong?
Seo-jun didnt shake his arm.
Arm? Now that you mention it
Seo-eun-hye racked her brain. She realized that Seo-jun didnt shake his arm even though there was a camera. He just drank his formula quietly.
Hmm. Maybe its because he was holding the bottle?
Maybe. Well, as long as it was filmed well.
Seo-jun smiled smugly in his mothers arms.
Seo-jun, who still had a babys body, had limited skills.
He had returned the [Fairys Sparkle-Lowest Grade] that made Seo-jun shake his arm to the library because of a new secret weapon. It was probably back in the book by now.
Seo-jun thought of the skill I had found.
[Small Mimics Tempting Package-Highest Grade]
It makes any being covet a wrapped item.
You can specify a target.
Limitations: The user must be of a certain size or smaller.
The user must be held in someones arms.
There were many limitations, but thanks to them, even a baby with a lack of mana could use a top-notch skill.
This skill was something that could not be used as an adult. First of all, it could be seen from the name Little Mimic. Only small things could use this skill.
Then, lets shoot the next scene.
At the director Choi Dae-mans words, Lee Min-joon and Seo Eun-hye put Seo-joon down in the living room again. The baby sofa had disappeared, and elephant milk bottles were stacked up to the third floor. In front of them, Seo-joon was holding an elephant milk bottle.
Seo-joon, how about this?
There, there. What a pretty elephant.
The couple shook the milk bottle. Snuggled in his mothers arms, Seo-joon had heard the directors words and already knew that he had to hold the milk bottle and smile brightly.
Im glad. If there was no content about me holding the milk bottle, I would have had to cry until they hugged me.
[Little Mimics Tempting Packaging] only had an effect when the user was holding something. Seo-joon had to hug the milk bottle tightly to make people want to buy the milk.
Kyaaak!
Seo-joon smiled widely and hugged the milk bottle. The couple quickly moved out of the camera screen as the director said.
[Little Mimics Tempting Packaging-Highest Grade-wraps the target.]
Seo-joon hugged his belly, which had a small wooden box pattern, and the milk bottle as close as possible.
It was not visible to the peoples eyes, but Seo-joon could see it. The elephant milk bottle he was holding shone in a very beautiful color.
[Little Mimics Tempting Packaging-Highest Grade] was well activated.
Target. Parents with babies of my age.
If he did not set a target, the whole world would go crazy to buy the milk after seeing the CF.
Well there are not many parents with babies, but it would not make sense if this CF with me did not sell out!
Seo-joon laughed gleefully, dreaming of a sell-out.
Director Choi Dae-man zoomed in on the camera screen.
The baby was cute and handsome, but he also looked great on the camera screen. There were people who looked good in real life but not on the screen, but the baby looked satisfying in both ways.
And he doesnt even care about the camera, he would be a great actor when he grows up.
Seo-joons chubby cheek pressed the lid of the milk bottle. Kang So-ra, the team leader, clenched her heart at the slightly protruding cheek fat.
Ugh.
Whats wrong?
Hes too cute.
Team leader Choi Hyun-ji sighed. She did not express it, but she also wanted to smash two or three apartments.
Really, I think this is the first time Ive seen such a cute baby.
I know. If he grows up like this, hell be a huge star, wont he?
If he was my son, I would really push him to be a celebrity.
Not only the team leaders, but also the other staff whispered.
Seo-joon did not stay still for a moment. He changed his posture constantly, as if he was thinking of how to look cuter.
He never forgot to smile and hug the milk bottle.
Seo Eun-hye and Lee Min-joon, who alternately looked at Seo-joon and the people in the shooting set, were lost in thought. Should they really make him a celebrity?
Seo-joon! Can you look this way?
Director Choi Dae-man said. The eight-month-old baby did so well. The director, who was immersed in the shooting, unknowingly gave instructions.
Whether it was by chance or fate, Seo-jun turned his head and saw the camera that Director Choi Dae-man was holding.
Smile wide!
Kyaaak!
The shooting ended with Seo-juns laughter.
****
Great job.
Director Choi Dae-man said with a serious face. Seo Eun-hye and Lee Min-joon nodded as if they expected it. Seo-jun was lying on a baby bed with a teddy bear and taking a nap.
Only 20 minutes. The CF shooting was over.
This child must become an actor. He knows what he has to do instinctively, even though he cant understand anything.
Director Choi Dae-man didnt think Seo-jun understood his words.
Destiny, constitution, instinct.
He thought Seo-jun had the qualities to be an actor.
Im not saying you have to appear on TV or movies right now. There are no directors who would send out such a young baby unless its a very minor role. I just thought it would be very good if you think about it from now on and send him to an academy when he can talk or understand.
Yes.
Im still a newbie in this world, but please contact me anytime if you need my help.
Director Choi Dae-man wrote his contact information and name on a note and handed it to Lee Min-joon.
Director Choi Dae-man left his seat and Team Leader Choi Hyun-ji and Team Leader Kang So-ra came in. Team Leader Kang So-ra dragged a big box on a cart.
Thank you for your hard work. You did really well, Seo-jun.
Thank you. You worked hard too. Both of you.
Hahaha. Seo-jun worked hard. Oh. This is Elephant milk and the baby sofa he sat on earlier. Its a gift for Seo-jun.
Thank you.
The schedule ended in a friendly atmosphere.
The staff who had prepared for the milk commercial shooting and expected to be tormented by the baby all day long were also impressed by the shooting that ended in less than an hour.
Seo-jun, bye!
Ill buy milk for my nephew.
Elephant sold out! Fighting!
The family returned home with the cheers of the staff.
***
Sons meal time.
Eric turned on the YouTube video. It was [JUN]s video that he seemed to watch five times a day.
He watched it so much that he now knew when Seo-jun would laugh, what angle he would wave his arm, and how much he would chew his baby food.
Here, Jack. Its JUN, your favorite.
Like! Like!
Maria, who had returned from a business trip to Paris, also sat at the table to feed Jack.
She also soon praised JUNs video. Maria pressed the video hard.
A calm music flowed. It was the timing when JUNs dads voice would usually be heard.
Oh, theres an ad?
Well, how many views are there
Eric and Maria were also subscribers who contributed to the views, but they were sick of seeing the views and subscribers that were still going up.
Whats that ad?
Oh, isnt that Elephant milk formula?
A yellow elephant appeared on the screen. The image of the yellow elephant lifting its trunk turned into a picture and was attached to the milk bottle. And then.
Oh! Is that JUN?
Right! He must have filmed an ad! Hes so cute!
Seo-jun smiled brightly and sipped the milk. And then Seo-jun hugged the Elephant milk bottle and laughed heartily. That was the end of the ad.
It was silent.
Eric and Maria didnt say a word and picked up their phones. They went to an overseas delivery site and searched for Elephant.
Damn! Its sold out!
No way! I really want to buy this right now!
The effect of [Small Mimics Tempting Packaging Top Grade -] was amazing.
