Seo Eun-hye and Lee Min-jun compared the seats on the ticket and sat down. Seo Jun, who had been following his parents, also took off the scarf and hat that he had tightly wrapped around himself.
To watch the assembly, Seo Jun and his parents chose a less crowded but slightly more expensive cinema.
Unlike the regular cinema where seats are close together, the premium screening room had seats that were far apart and even had partitions, making it hard to see the faces of the people next to them.
Last year, they also watched Green Wing 2 here.
"The world has really improved."
In the softer and wider seats compared to regular cinemas, Lee Min-jun smiled and said. Seo Eun-hye nodded while munching on popcorn.
"The seats are wide, and there's no one in front or beside, so there's no chance of our son being exposed."
"If it were a movie I starred in, I'd prefer a place with more people, but this is fine."
Still, he couldn't give up the big screen, so they came to the cinema. While chatting during the ads, the lights in the cinema soon went out.
Dun dun-
A new OST played. It was the OST of the assembly. Seo Jun looked at the glowing screen with sparkling eyes.
The movie was humorous, as befitting a Redbone film, and serious, as befitting a Shadowman film. Director George Roberts' skills were impressive.
Even with a group of strong heroes, none of them died and each displayed their charm.
The enemies were defeated by the heroes' efforts, and the end was approaching. Just when everyone thought it would end smoothly and cheerfully,
Redbone.
Fell.
"Whoa?!"
The center of the assembly, Redbone, lost consciousness and fell.
[Redbone!?]
The heroes were shocked and called out to him as he fell into the sea from the airship. They dove in to save Redbone.
The unexpected turn of events left Seo Jun and his parents with their mouths open. They had long forgotten about the popcorn they were enjoying.
When Shadowman's desperate finger touched the back of Redbone's neck, the movie ended.
Dun dun-
The assembly's OST played.
The cinema lights came on. Director George Roberts' name appeared on the screen, followed by the names of the actors and staff.
It seemed everyone was now familiar with Marine's cookie scenes, as they all sat in their seats and discussed the end of the movie.
"Wow. Why did he suddenly fall?"
"Maybe he was caught off guard while fighting the enemy?"
"That could be."
Seo Jun and his parents also discussed it. However, the exact reason was not revealed. It might depend on what was in the cookie scene. Seo Jun looked at the screen.
Dun dun-
It was the assembly's OST.
On the screen, a pale Redbone lying on a bed appeared. Then the door opened. It was Shadowman and Mac. And,
"Oh?"
Bell Natora.
Richele Hill!
Seo Jun, his parents, and the audience had a stunned look on their faces.
Why are you here? Are you on Shadowman's side or Jin Natora's side? Bell Natora, a character whose alignment was unclear, appeared at the assembly's base.
Bell Natora laughed cheerfully and spoke.
[Great. Then we're allies for now.]
[You get what you want, and I get what I want.]
Mac, with a reluctant but resigned expression, extended his hand.
Just like in Shadowman 2's cookie scene, where Shadowman and Redbone shook hands, Mac and Bell Natora shook hands.
"What is this?"
Everyone was speechless.
* * *
A moviegoer turned on a live stream with a serious expression.
"It's a mess, right?"
The first words were intense.
- ㅇㅇㅇㅇkkkk
- I didn't expect Bell Natora to appear there! kkk
- So is this Shadowman 3? Or Assembly 2?
It was clear that Shadowman and Bell Natora would appear. If they appeared, would it be Shadowman 3?
Or would it be Assembly 2, where other heroes also appeared, even though they didn't in the cookie scene?
It was just the movie title, but it was important.
"Yes, that's important. If it's Shadowman 3, actor Lee Seo-jun will appear, and if it's Assembly 2, well, he might not. If you go to Marine's homepage, it looks like this."
[Assembly 2]
"Yes, it's Assembly 2."
- kkk disappointing kkk
"Still, after Assembly 2, Shadowman 3 will definitely come out! There must be a reason Bell Natora appeared!"
- Why did Redbone fall?
"That's a bit controversial, but it seems he was caught off guard while fighting the enemy, without the assembly members or Redbone himself realizing it."
- Is that possible?
"Marine's heroes are not perfect. They make mistakes and can't save everyone. They get hurt by the enemy and win in the end. It's a movie, so we can laugh and watch it, but if it were real, it would be a disaster. There would be many victims like William."
- That's true.
"So, Redbone is not always strong. If Shadowman grew in Assembly 1, Assembly 2 will be about Redbone's rest and growth."
- When Redbone fell, I was shocked.
- I didn't think Redbone would fall.
- Why did Bell Natora appear?
"Perhaps, the clue is that the cure for Redbone is an alien substance. As the dialogue in the cookie scene suggests, Shadowman and Bell Natora each have something they need to find. Shadowman needs the cure for Redbone, and Bell Natora probably needs something related to Jin Natora. I can't even imagine what it could be."
The moviegoer, who had been thinking deeply, said.
"Still, one thing is certain."
- What's certain?
"Since Bell Natora and Shadowman met, I think the past will be revealed. We, as all-knowing viewers, can guess that they are family with our trained intuition from melodramas, but Shadowman doesn't know yet. I think it will be revealed in Assembly 2."
- All-knowing viewers kkk
- Melodramas kkk What if you're my sister?!
- Last time it was multiple personalities, and this time it's siblings? kkk
"Assembly 2 will be about Redbone's rest and growth, and a clue for Shadowman 3."
Bell Natora's appearance and the preview of Assembly 2 gave a big shock to those waiting for Lee Seo-jun's next work.
[Where is Shadowman 3?!]
[Cookie scene previewing Assembly 2!]
[Bell Natora is there, but Jin Natora is not!]
[Find the missing Jin Natora!]
- Anyone going to storm Marine?
- I was waiting for Shadowman 3 after Assembly, but now Assembly 2?!
- Seo-jun isn't in this one either. :(
- I wish he would at least use a stage name and act. I want to see Seo-jun's acting, even on VOD. :(
- I've watched it so many times recently...
While everyone was reeling from the shock of Assembly 2, the drama production company 'Wave' was in chaos for a different reason.
PD Choi Min-sung and writer So Eun-jin, who rushed to the scene upon hearing the news, were speechless.
Really? Really? The question was clear from their eyes, and the head of the planning team, who was in charge of the production and planning of this drama, nodded.
"Really?"
"Yes!"
"Really, really?!"
"Yes! Yes!"
The head of the planning team's answer made So Eun-jin and Choi Min-sung cheer.
How many dramas and movies have been criticized by Lee Seo-jun in the past year! Among them, some were successful, and everyone was curious about the standards for the scripts that caught Lee Seo-jun's eye.
Everyone would try to meet those standards for their next work, and Lee Seo-jun's next work would definitely set
