"...Who the fucking idiot that cast the original person as a stunt double?" Yuuki muttered in great annoyance. He actually was there because he heard that his adventure in Digital World is going to be turned into a live action adaptation. He's here not because he want to. In fact, he's here just because a certain someone is curious of how they rendered his original work. Yeah, a certain Dorumon that is.
"Well you can't help it, they're oblivious to who you are~" Hikaru commented.
"Then how about when they're also oblivious to who YOU are?" Yuuki shot back.
"Ah, then I just need to be popular~~" Hikaru answered back with a cheesy pose that made Yuuki want to face palm himself hard...
"Hahaha! That's very in-character for Hikaru there, Dorumon!" a young man came. Apparently he's an indie film director who wanted to make a story about human and Digimon adventure for Digital World. It's unknown how, but he ended up with copy of one of Hikaru's journal about his adventure with Yuuki. Guess who liked the way he told the story? Of course the Director Masakado. Masakado was impressed with the story and thus gathered funds upon funds and he managed to move something on level of Hollywood to make the movie. Even Yuuki was rendered speechless from this all...
...Well, he doesn't mind and just want to look honestly, but apparently the actor and the Dorumon that scheduled to play this movie as stunt double suddenly become sick...
...And he now have to deal with a really snotty teenager that looks NOTHING like him. Standing behind the director is a boy that looks like a bad boy... He doesn't even remember his name... Uh... Trash-kun? Oh, wait, his name is Motoyasu, yes, Motoyasu... Kusoyasu more like it. A boy that partnered with really edgy Dorumon. For fuck's sake, even Blake ain't this edgy. Someone please save him
"Well, then, I'll be counting on you, Stuntman-kun!"
"...Haa... yes."
When Masakado-kantoku left the site where Yuuki is, the actor stayed... From his 16 years of life, he know exactly what this guy want.
"...What is it, star?"
"Oh, did you think that you're some hot shit for just playing stunt double? Listen here, nobody cares about you. I'm the star of this movie and without me, you won't even be playing this movie. Do you understand that?"
To be fair, without MY partner's journal you won't be playing any of this shit either, Yuuki thought. "Eh, I don't really care about it to be honest. I'm contracted, so here I am."
"...You think you can land any other job in entertainment industry with that sort of attitude?" It wasn't Yuuki's mean to make a scene, but it's seem this guy took his word as a challenge. "Lame and basically just landed the role because your arm is on cast just like the source material?"
"Well, you're here. I honestly can't think of worse actor that would depict the young archeologist," honestly, it's getting his nerves, so his replies become more and more venomous. "...So I wonder how good people's opinion on you again."
"You wanna go at it, punk?" the actor's Dorumon suddenly step forward. "With that kind of arm, I can easily beat you."
"Only a coward would attack a human with cast, but like he can't slam you headfirst with just one arm anyway," suddenly Hikaru joined the conversation. "That's just how lame you are, like your acting too. Seriously, who casted you? You played like the Terminator that suddenly landed in Scooby Doo universe."
Of course both stars' face turned red with fury.
"...I'll crush you," the Dorumon declared, grasping Hikaru's fur with his paw.
Hikaru slapped his arm away and stared with a stare that could freeze hell. "...Try me, amateur."
"Scene 23, Take 12!"
It's the scene where Yuuki have to do a little trick to the trap wall. By pressing a certain button, he would trigger a trap or an entrance. Unfortunately, because he's a stunt, he got no speaking line. Even if he's speaking, the audio is going to be cut anyway. So, he does what he's ordered to do. Acting and do a scene where he need to trigger some---
Suddenly, what he expected to be a safe tile from the script instead shot out a dangerous flame at him that he quickly avoided. Hikaru's eyes widened in shock, but he decided to suddenly ad-lib it.
"Whoa, that map must be oudated!" he commented. Even Yuuki was trying hard to not roll his eyes at him. "What about this one?"
More trap sprung, enough to make the Doru bewilderedly stare at the trap. Seriously!? This is totally not scripted! It forced Yuuki and him to do more than they should have when he suddenly find the right switch but it activated all traps in that set.
"That was fabulous! You guys are so awesome!" the Director suddenly said.
"...Hey, we need explanation. Clearly the set isn't bugged?"
"Huh? Bugged? What do you mean? I thought you guys are given the map? You guys pressed traps by yourself you know!"
....Yuuki's face cramped so hard that he swore if someone ate a really sour lemon, it would be far less petrified then his.
"...Let me just continue with this please."
Obviously the culprit is as obvious as daylight. They kept doing their stunt, yet every single time it felt like someone deliberately tried to harm them in any way. The star's action is getting worse and worse every scene until finally, it happened.
"I HAD ENOUGH OF THIS!" the lead actor tossed his costume to the floor.
"...Oh boy," Hikaru cannot help but to mutter.
"I'M THE LEAD STAR, WHY ARE YOU PRAISING THE STUNTMAN INSTEAD OF THE REAL ACTOR, ME!? IS HE THAT GOOD!?"
"Probably it's you just got bad work ethic."
"SCREW YOU!"
"OK, OK, stop it!" suddenly the director get in between two of them. "Look, Motoyasu-kun, this is not acceptable for a main actor to act like this. If you're truly professional, then this kind of behavior is inexcusable. Motoyasu-kun, you're indeed the main actor, but if both you and your partner doesn't act like a professional then we need to recast you."
"Recasting me!?"
"Indeed. I mean these two can do the stunts flawlessly, almost as if they're meant to be the lead actor. I'll be frank, but while I hired you because you're a real life celebrity, I'm honestly very disappointed with your ethic."
"That's just because you--"
Masakado's eyes glared dangerously at Kusoya--Motoyasu. "It's seem that in your fame, you forgot that the director's words is higher than the actor's, Motoyasu-kun. Remember, even if I'm just a new director, that still means that your career is also up to my review of your work ethic. I can just tell the other directors that your work ethic is questionable, you know?"
"T-that's..."
"A fair threat. There's a lot of people in here that can testify against you. However, Motoyasu-kun... exactly because I'm a new, low class director that I can't really recast you. I don't have money to pay another person, and I don't have money to look for another guy with Dorumon. It's not an exaggeration to say that this movie is riding on your fame."
"T-then!"
"However, I'm not a director that would be happily pushed around. I'm a director with a certain taste and love it that this movie goes without much hitch see. Hitch and stress for that matter. We're stressed as it is, and I'm sure you are too. However, that's not a reason to make more headache for us."
"Ku--"
"So I have two proposal. One: Behave and I'll keep using you for this movie... Two: Quit, and I'm going to hire those two as the main actor."
"What---! You can't be serious!"
"Why I can't?"
"I-I'm the sta--"
"That's once again, not a solid excuse, Motoyasu-kun. Try better?"
"...Then how about this? We'll challenge those two to battle!"
"Seriously!?" Yuuki cannot help but to exclaim. "OK, NO, NO, ENOUGH, NO!"
Surprised by sudden answer, both Masakado-kantoku and Kuzuyasu quickly turned around to him. "I'M HERE ONLY BECAUSE I'M CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT SORT OF WORK THAT HIKARU'S JOURNAL WILL BE TURNED INTO! I'M NOT HERE FOR YOUR FUCKING DRAMA! LOOK, UNKOYASU, I'M NOT HERE TO BE YOUR RIVAL OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. I'M HERE FOR PROFESSIONAL STUFF! IF YOU WANT TO FIGHT WITH ORIGINAL AUTHOR AND KEEP MANGLING MY PARTNER'S WORK, COME HERE AND I'LL KICK YOU ON THE NUTS!"
"W-what did you said!?"
Probably fight was completely unavoidable. Both boys brandished their Digivice. Light enveloped both Dorumon.. but while the latter was only a Dorugamon, the former was an Alphamon. Motoyasu's jaw hit the floor with that display.
"...Scram, fool," Yuuki hissed.
Without even needing to be told twice, the actor ran with his tail between his leg.
"Alright Kantoku, enough of this, I'm going to---wait, why is it recording?"
"See, Itou-kun, it's called backstage bloopers. Generally it's just taken for fun, but... somehow when I saw this I thought it could be more entertaining than the main movie! So can we please have your permission to bundle it with the movie?"
"...Oh boy..." and thus that was the start of a really looong day for the movie making. Hey, at least it's great and Hikaru totally had a blast with his autograph session.
