Chapter 46: Season Opening (2)

“So you don’t even do basic makeup??”

“No, I don’t feel the need yet.”

“It seems like there’s something to it, since it’s Para saying it, not just anyone.”

In the LoL Park makeup room, the woman who was styling my hair from behind kept talking.

‘Of all people, it had to be the team leader.’

I knew from my past life that the makeup team leader was talkative.

But this was more severe than I thought…

‘Is she always like this on game days?’

Today, I received a more intense styling because it was for profile pictures and opening filming.

But usually, LCK players and casters receive simple makeup before the game starts.

I wondered if she was like this every time, and then the makeup team leader said with a smile.

“I’m not usually like this, but since I have a chance to style a girl after a long time, I’m talking a lot.”

“Don’t the announcers do it here?”

“The announcers do it at home or at a salon, and they just touch it up here?”

“That’s the first time I’ve heard that.”

“And the players all just cover up their blemishes and don’t try to do any other makeup, and they don’t want to do their hair, saying it’s meaningless if they wear headsets.”

I understand what she means.

In my past life, even though I had quite long hair, I didn’t get a perm or styling because it was annoying, and I just parted it.

But what can I do if that’s comfortable?

It was more beneficial to watch replays in the time it took to style.

“Maybe because the original is so pretty, it’s better to just do a little basic makeup and just style the hair.”

I didn’t know what was going on because I wasn’t interested in makeup even though I was born as a woman.

“Her eyelashes are already long, and let’s not just let her bangs down, let’s just give them a little wave.”

“…Wow.”

Kim Dojin couldn’t close his mouth when he saw me after I finished my makeup.

‘Is it that much of a difference?’

I was satisfied with my original face, so I don’t know if there’s that much difference because of the makeup.

From my perspective, who likes natural things, this kind of makeup was close to a dislike.

The team leader said she did it as lightly as possible, but first of all, the fact that my hair was set made me feel like my actions were restricted.

I was curious about other people’s opinions, so I asked Kim Dojin, who still couldn’t close his mouth.

“Is it that different?”

“Uh..yeah. How should I say it.”

“You can speak comfortably.”

“It’s like looking at a real celebrity because you’re so dressed up? Honestly, I don’t think I could approach you if I didn’t know you.”

“What about usual?”

“Usually, I can approach you, but I can’t talk to you?”

I didn’t know what he was talking about, so I let it go in one ear and out the other.

I was Worried about what to do while waiting because the other teams’ filming hadn’t finished yet.

‘Ah.’

I suddenly remembered that I had created an SNS ID.

I hadn’t posted anything since I first created it.

When I logged into SNS after a long time, the number of followers had already reached nearly 60,000.

I felt a little sorry that I had left it untouched without posting anything when people liked it so much.

I asked the manager to take a few pictures, and I chose the one that came out well among them and uploaded it.

‘This should satisfy everyone.’

“The profile shooting is all done.”

Lee Taejin, the video director and camera director of the LCK, rotated his stiff wrist.

This completed the profile shooting of each player’s POG pose.

What remained was the opening title shoot.

“Uh, don’t put the lenses in your glasses yet.”

Lee Taejin, who was taking a short break, saw a player putting in the lenses he had taken out.

To prevent reflection from the lighting, the lenses are removed in advance, but it seemed that he thought the shooting was over.

‘That uniform is…ARK, right? It’s their first time, so it could be like that.’

The profile shoot alone took over 5 hours, so the players must be tired.

Still, since this opening was filmed at LoL Park, it would be comfortable for both sides to finish everything while we were here today.

“Everyone’s rested, right? Let’s start the title shoot.”

It’s more difficult than the profile, but most of it will be processed with CG, so the opening shoot wasn’t that difficult either.

If you match well with the players, you can finish quickly.

‘The composition…’

Since LCK couldn’t bring any trophies in this year’s international competition, we’re going to film an opening from the challenger’s position.

“First, YK and WDM players, please come this way. We’ll film a scene where you face each other 5v5 inside the stadium.”

YK and WDM were strong teams that faced each other in the finals of both Spring and Summer, so they were going to be filmed as the main ones.

The team to be added to that.

“And we’ll take a cut with RG inside too.”

Although they didn’t achieve good results in the league, RG reached the Worlds finals and showed a desperate fight.

After finishing the top teams like that, the filming of the lower-ranked teams began.

‘It would be okay to give AX, who went to the promotion match and came out alive, a little bit of screen time.’

Due to the nature of the opening, which has to be made within 1 minute, the entire roster of the lower-ranked teams rarely appears.

Most of them were 1 to 2 people, at most 3 people.

‘ARK is a concern.’

The biggest concern was ARK.

It was clear that they caused a big storm in CK, but would it be okay to give them a lot of screen time?

From Lee Taejin’s experience, it was clear that even if they were lower-ranked teams, a slight mistake would cause controversy in the LCK, where the fandom was solid.

He had to draw the line properly and give them screen time.

‘Let’s do just 2.’

After all, ARK’s main is Yoon Seoha, the female player Para.

Even when I filmed him during the last promotion match, I thought he was pretty, but with that styling, he’s an idol.

He was competitive enough with just his face.

“We’ll start filming with Para and…Resher.”

“Yes?”

At Lee Taejin’s words, the other players except for the two named showed a reaction of “really?”.

Since it was their first time debuting in the LCK, they probably thought they would have some screen time.

But the pro world is all about skill and popularity.

It was unfortunate for the rookies, but there was nothing to be done.

Still, Yoon Seoha blocked Lee Taejin, who was about to explain.

“It can’t be helped for lower-ranked teams.”

“Even so, I carried the promotion match with the ADC difference.”

“Then what about QG? They beat YK, the Summer champions, in the regular season, but only 2 people are filming?”

“That’s true, but…”

“There’s no need to be so upset. If we do well, we’ll be the main characters next season.”

Yoon Seoha comforted the team like that and walked towards Lee Taejin.

“Are we also filming inside the stadium?”

“First, we’ll film a scene with Para and Resher together, and then we’ll film Para alone inside once more.”

ARK’s team shoot began like that.

Lee Taejin was wondering, looking at Yoon Seoha, who was not only too proficient but also flawless.

‘Everyone finds profile shoots easy, but he’s able to create this kind of atmosphere right away even in the opening shoot?’

This kind of shoot improves with practice.

For that reason, star players who often go to the finals show overall proficiency, but that wasn’t something a rookie player who debuted less than a year ago could show.

After finishing the team shoot, Lee Taejin proceeded with Yoon Seoha’s personal shoot to express the LCK from the challenger’s position, which he had personally conceived.

“You can open the door here and walk in.”

As if they had been working together for a long time, Yoon Seoha accurately understood and executed Lee Taejin’s words.

There are few veteran LCK players who do this well.

The more I looked, the more amazing this girl was.

“Isn’t Para also talented in acting?”

How long has it been since I filmed so enjoyably?

When Yoon Seoha’s shoot was all over, Lee Taejin smiled and spoke.

“It’s all because the director filmed it well.”

“I’ve seen a lot of players. Para is on the very good side.”

“Is that so?”

At that, Yoon Seoha thanked him.

“But, the team members are all good too.”

“Yes? Suddenly what…”

“Next Summer’s opening. No, it’ll be the finals title shoot before that.”

Only then did Lee Taejin know what he was talking about.

“You have to film all 5 people at that time.”

This girl, who hasn’t even played her LCK debut match yet, was saying that she would go to the finals as if it were natural.
