Chapter 450: Speed of Light (2)

Translator: NovelBin

Woo-jin as the Beast—or rather, Woo-jin the “Diver”—stood in a head-to-toe skintight bodysuit during the first shoot of *Beauty and the Beast*. The reason was simple.@@novelbin@@

‘Damn it! Even though it’s for CGI, how is anyone supposed to stay in character wearing something like this?’

Like his inner complaint, the bulk of the Beast's appearance would be generated through special effects, meaning Woo-jin had to wear this suit for most of the scenes. Only a few shots throughout the schedule would allow him to appear fully made up as the Beast. For the rest, he’d be in this bodysuit.

‘Hey! Behind-the-scenes team! Don’t film me in this!’

His gray, dotted, tight-fitting suit might look ridiculous, but it was essential for the CGI. There was even padding inside to bulk him up to Beast’s size, making it both uncomfortable and laughable, but there was no choice if the final product was to be as perfect as they intended.

Woo-jin had mentally prepared himself for this situation.

He’d tried on this special outfit in advance and had spent time in a strange booth fitted with cameras in all directions, capturing his every movement and expression to achieve a near-perfect Beast in CGI. When the simulation ran, it was astonishing—his facial expressions and subtle motions appeared on the CGI Beast on the monitor, following his every move with precision.

For this level of realism, Woo-jin would need to act through more than half of *Beauty and the Beast*—perhaps even more—in the bodysuit. Although it didn’t suit his usual style, he was willing to bear the indignity for the sake of his performance.

‘I didn’t expect Cara to laugh that hard, though. Well…’

Foreign crew members rushed into the set to reset after the NG. Woo-jin awkwardly descended from the central staircase.

Meanwhile, Cara, playing Bella, tried desperately to suppress her laughter as she looked at Woo-jin in his ridiculous suit.
