I Will Live as an Actor Episode 142

: Great Success.

There are many types of actors. There are people who stand out from the beginning of their debut and demonstrate their talent as actors, while there are cases where they are recognized as actors after hard work, like a farmer farming.

The latter is called the hypertrophy type, and the number of such people in a broadcasting industry that is no different from the worst is so small that it can be counted on one hand.

“Brother, what you’re saying is that Young-Kuk is currently in the advanced stage of plastic surgery?”

Director Baek Jang-hoon briefly nods his head in response to a question from cinematographer Do Wook Do. A hollow laugh bursts out from above his rough beard.

“Don’t talk nonsense. Where do you see that Yeongguk has the most common type of plastic surgery?”

In the past, Do Wook Jeong encountered England for the first time at a filming site. Director Baek Jang-hoon, who was usually very thorough in selecting child actors, suddenly showed up one day with a child in tow. Well, it would be correct to say that the first impression was dull.

Just looking at his appearance, he looked like a hillbilly who had just come to Seoul from the countryside, with tanned skin and chestnut-like hair. but.

-Brother, where did you get a child like that?

The acting of the child actor he encountered at the filming site was enough to surprise Do Wook Do. Although it was only a brief cameo, it left a vivid impression on my mind. Not only was his ability to learn the script, but his understanding of shooting composition was also exceptional. Like an old veteran who has been on set for a long time. As proof of that.

-Director Do In my lifetime, this is the first time I have seen a child like that on a filming set without looking for their parents and not shaking. Moreover, what about acting? He creates pictures like a fish out of water. Why doesn’t that guy seem like a better actor than me?

The elderly actor who was filming with me burst into empty laughter. As a child, England was so different from other child actors that he was unrivaled. It would be absurd for an actor like that to have a chronic condition.

“I still see it now. Is there anyone who can easily approach Youngkuk at a filming location? We, who have been seeing each other since we were young, approach him easily, but newbies who have just joined the filming team tremble even when Youngkuk gives them a look. That’s why his acting skills are so great. “Because it’s so outstanding, people get the illusion that it’s not what it actually looks like.”

“I’ve decided on a bowl.”

“Huh? What do you mean by that?”

Do-wook Do can’t hold back his curiosity and moves forward.

“I’m talking about the fact that I act like an actor who has set his own standards. That’s what I meant when I said I was very chronic. It felt like I already knew my own limitations. That’s why I was better than others when I was acting from a young age. Maybe.”

“I don’t understand at all. I admit that my brother’s eye is better than anyone else’s in Chungmuro, but how did that young guy know my skills and set limits? I heard back then that it had only been a few months since he started acting properly. ?”

“After being together for a while, I felt it. I don’t know how a child so young knew his own limitations…”

If England had heard the conversation between the two, he would have felt heartbroken. will be. Director Baek Jang-hoon was vaguely feeling the experience of his past life.

“You said it was a large-scale plastic surgery. So if you say what you said, isn’t England already full?”

“You could say the starting point is different.”

“What do you mean by that?”

At that moment, director Baek Jang-hoon raises his head and looks at the filming site. One actor can be seen among the busy staff. I’ve seen this kid for a long time, but there are still a lot of mysteries about him. But something is clear.

“It will start after you break the shell.”

Lunch on set is busy. This is because not only the staff but also the actors have to feed a large number of people.

When filming in a remote area, it is difficult to airlift not only a hamba restaurant but also a lunch box. In contrast, the city center is more relaxed. Moreover, Baek Jang-hoon’s division was the first in Chungmuro to have a filming site where a food truck was introduced.

“Auntie, is it samgyetang today?”

“Because today is the first day of the year. I made plenty, so everyone can eat a lot.”

The milky Samgye, along with the smile of a kind-hearted aunt, whet your appetite. The variety of side dishes made with seasonal vegetables are all overflowing with luster. When you bite into a handful of chicken legs, it melts in your mouth. This is truly excellent workmanship from my aunt. It wasn’t for nothing that he was nicknamed the best nutritionist in Chungmuro. It was then.

widely.

Someone sits in the seat across from me. England raises his head and checks on the other person.

“Hyung, there’s no filming today, right?”

Son Hwa-won holds up a spoon and smiles.

“It’s Chobok. The lunch you eat at the filming location tastes better than at most restaurants. Your aunt’s skills are so good that I think about her even on days when I’m not filming. Why would I come? England came to see you.”

what?

While filming, this thought came to me occasionally. I wonder if Son Hwa-won likes women, but of course, since he is still a young actor, there have never been any scandals like this. However, looking back on her past life memories, middle-aged Son Hwa-won was not married.

“I’ll stop there. If you go any further, I won’t be able to stand it.”

“What is it that makes you so unbearable that you came because you wanted to see your close friend?”

My heart sinks. If I were not careful, I would even drop my spoon. There is a saying that actors’ personalities change depending on the role they play. As the saying goes, Son Hwa-won’s personality also became more sly as the filming period continued. Just like Lee Howon in the script.

“Don’t worry. I like women very much.”

Son Hwa-won elaborates as if reading England’s thoughts.

“As a goal, it means that England likes you. When you act as an actor, there are bound to be actors you want to be like. Now, England is you.”

“Not as a colleague or even as a rival, but what a goal. Anyone who sees me would think I have decades of acting experience. My older brother started acting as a child a long time before me.”

“Confucius said that in teaching, you are a child or an old man, and age is nothing but an inconvenience. There is only one way to learn. As an actor, I feel like I have learned a little about the path that was blocked until now when I met you. That’s why I came out like this even on days when I wasn’t filming. A role model. Because you can enjoy the performance right in front of your eyes.”

her.

It’s overrated. While the filming of Outlaw continued, Son Hwa-won would sometimes ask England questions. If you were curious about the directing aspect, you would have asked director Baek Jang-hoon, but about the acting, you only asked England.

Each time, England responded with sincerity based on past life experiences. That series of processes may have led to this blind faith.

“Hyung, then, please finish lunch and then listen to my lines while I practice.”

“practice?”

“Let’s rehearse in advance for the scene we’ll be shooting in the afternoon.”

In the case of film shooting, rehearsals are conducted differently from broadcasting. While dramas focus on the psychology of the characters and the script, movies tend to focus on directing techniques.

Therefore, we only rehearse with a focus on the shooting composition and lighting and the actor’s movements, but the scope does not extend to the script itself as a whole. This is because, unlike broadcasting stations that produce their own studios, Chungmuro, which hires filming locations, does not have time constraints.

Son Hwa-won’s expression brightens at England’s sudden request.

“okay!”

“Scene number 41 Jeong Hae-seok’s runaway!”

The room is already filled with the smell of alcohol, so much so that you can see the floor of the glass. Amidst a cloud of cigarette smoke, men wearing expensive suits are sitting with a woman each in their arms. Their stories are always about money and women.

“What happens if you get caught fooling around with unlisted liquor? It’s not like you’re going to vomit up as much as you ate, but the only thing you can do is stay in a detention center for a while and then get out. That’s how the law in Korea is, it’s infinitely kind to those who have it, and it’s extremely harsh to those who don’t have it. That’s why I run this country. “I can’t leave, can I?”

“I’m not interested in that little money.”

Jeong Hae-seok (UK) leans against the backrest and raises his glass. It is a gathering of second generation chaebols. They are all descendants of large conglomerates that are considered to be Korea’s leading companies, and they are the same figures who will lead the Korean corporate world in the future, but their personalities are unsatisfactory.

Not only do they waste an ordinary office worker’s salary on one night of entertainment, but they sometimes get together and enjoy drugs. It was when I was about to drink the liquor that was glistening on the top of my glass.

“You bastard’s poop form is so dirty.”

At that moment, Jeong Hae-seok puts down his drink loudly. With an unknown tension swirling around, Jeong Hae-seok speaks while stroking his face with his long fingers.

“Say it again.”

There is a coldness in the air among the friends who were just hanging out and drinking with each other. Aren’t they all envious of money? Even their dispositions are similar. As the saying goes, hard work is hard work. Someone steps in and tries to alleviate the situation, but it is not easy.

“Hey, why do friends do this to each other just because I made a mistake?”

“friend?”

Jeong Hae-seok stands up with a bitter sneer. Son Hwa-won, who was watching this from a corner of the filming site, swallows his saliva.

‘Wow, you must have lost all your strength during rehearsal.’

It was Son Hwa-won who helped England with rehearsals after lunch. Even back then, I tried to act the same script as I did now, but the sense of intimidation I felt was different. He even bursts out laughing, shaking his head from side to side with trembling eyes.

He looks like he’s smiling, but he looks like he’s about to burst out in anger at any moment. As evidence, the women sitting next to him hesitated and took a step back.

“Friend is a great word, isn’t it?”

Jeong Hae-seok raises the glass of alcohol he was drinking just moments ago. The liquor that I have not yet drunk falls from the air. He asks while looking at the Yangju that is constantly falling on the hair of the person who insulted him.

“Do you still think I’m your friend?”

“This bastard really wants to see you!”

As his fine hair became tangled with the liquor, the man raised his eyes and tried to get up. But he can’t stand up completely.

Crack.

This is because Jeong Hae-seok grabbed the man’s hair with one hand and bent his head as he stood up. Jeong Hae-seok’s face rises above the face of the man who was forced to sit down. Others are unable to think of stepping forward in this atmosphere.

After all, if you knew Jeong Hae-seok’s temperament, the very act of stepping forward in this place was an act of urging Myung. Eventually, the two people’s eyes meet. The man holding his hair tightens his eyes as if he doesn’t want to lose. However, Jeong Hae-seok speaks with a rather bitter smile.

“Not all people sitting in the same place are the same.”

Sigh!

At that moment, Jeong Hae-seok slams his drink down on the table. The broken glass scatters beyond the palm that was holding the drink, and red blood drips down.

Director Baek Jang-hoon, who was watching the scene, suddenly got up from his seat. It was clearly a prop drinking glass made of sugar. But I guess my hand got cut by something unexpectedly sharp. As soon as filming is about to stop, England’s acting continues.
