I Will Live As An Actor - Chapter 105

I will live as an actor Episode 105

“Let’s take a break for ten minutes!”

A famous PD stands up. It is rare to have such a break time from the first filming. Following this, the atmosphere among the staff becomes turbulent.

This is because the atmosphere of the remaining filming will be determined by how the first shovel is opened. AD Kim Young-min also approaches with a look of worry on his face. The famous producer who saw this narrowed his eyes and asked.

“Have you been to a funeral home somewhere? Why are you so dead? Relax your facial expressions, the actors are much more sensitive than we think. Even the directing staff says it comes out in their acting. Watch the director of photography and learn. He’s smiling even in this atmosphere. That’s right. That and the experience that comes from age.”

“That’s because the director of photography is a person who likes to be funny.”

“Well, it’s because you’ve never seen senior Kim angry. That guy is the kind of person who can’t see anything when the top of his head turns. Even now, when you see him joking around with the assistant directors like that, it’s as if someone took a picture 10 times. “Do you think I’m filming?”

AD Kim Young-min only then noticed the atmosphere of the filming site. The other staff members’ faces may be full of concern, but there are only two people. There is not the slightest trace of concern on the face of famous producer and cinematographer Kim Deuk-hyung. And actor Park Sang-cheol, who became the culprit of all these incidents, is sitting with a despondent expression.

“Will senior actor Park be okay?”

“Even if senior Kim and I give acting instructions to correct the unnaturalness seen on screen, it doesn’t work properly. How can it be okay? And this is Actor Park’s first drama shooting. Of course, it’s a burden, but since he made so many NGs, he must have felt that way. “The burden will double.”

“Then should I come and console you right now to help you relax?”

“Well, if the production team approached me now and said one word, it would only have the opposite effect. My pride would have already been scratched.”

“Then how?”

“Don’t worry, the relief pitcher will be on the mound soon.”

A relief pitcher.

What on earth does that mean?

Soon after, as the famous producer said, someone approaches actor Park Sang-cheol, who is sitting alone. It is none other than actor Jang Young-guk.

The famous producer looks at the scene and smiles faintly. It was like that many years ago too. A person who always shows unbelievable miracles on set. It was like that when we had to stop filming at Jagalchi Market in Haeundae due to the backlash from merchants.

-Everyone, please be generous! Since when have people in Busan been so mean!

He had such a young body and a cannonball-like grape juice that his voice from back then still resonates in my ears. The reason why the now-famous producer and cinematographer Kim Deuk-hyeong felt a sense of relief was none other than the presence of England. For some reason, it seemed like it would be something that should not be done if Britain took action.

“Senior Park.”

Actors on stage always make mistakes. Wasn’t that also the case with you in your past life? When you act at close range to the audience, you will always end up acting with confidence and exaggeration. Since the actor’s performance has to be clearly conveyed to the audience far away, there is an exaggeration that I am unaware of.

This is not something that can be fixed overnight. Moreover, if the other person is an actor who has been active in theater for more than a dozen years, there is a high probability that the person will already be deeply engraved in his or her bones. England suddenly snatches the script book that actor Park Sang-cheol was reading.

“What are you doing!”

A situation that may seem rude. But Britain knows this is the only way. Thinking about the times in the past when he couldn’t adapt to the drama version, he resorts to his last resort.

* * *

“Cut—!”

The famous producer’s face is in full bloom as if announcing that filming has ended safely. The same goes for other staff. Although there was only a short break, the subsequent filming continued smoothly enough to be considered non-stop.

“Director Yoo, you’re having a company dinner after today, right? It’s been a while since I’ve had a crooked nose, so I’ll tell you to drink it!”

“Senior Kim always eats like that and even emphasizes that it’s been a while. Just hold on today. There’s filming tomorrow too. Moreover, tomorrow is the first day of filming as a lead actor. What should I do if my hand holding the camera shakes after drinking?”

“What can I say? Director Yoo has gone too far, child. No matter what, I’m still old enough to have a leprosy. Don’t worry, England!”

Actor Park Sang-cheol swallows his admiration as he looks at the young actor laughing with the cinematographer. Actually, I tried to rework the script during the short break. But then a hand suddenly sticks out and snatches the script book.

-Senior, why are you so arrogant?

I was angry at first.

what?

Even though I made a name for myself in dramas, is it okay for me to be this rude? But I realized it when I heard England’s voice that followed.

-Senior now thinks of filming a drama as a play. There’s nothing wrong with the lines, so why are you looking at the script book again? Viewers look at the actors in the frame and cannot see the actors outside the frame. This isn’t a play. Nevertheless, there is too much force in the senior’s acting. It’s good to show off your cool side from the first shoot. However, this is your first time acting in a drama. Relax your shoulders and put away the stubbornness you showed in the theater. Look at the other actors, who acts like a senior with a light in their eyes even outside of the filming camera. Just today, there are a few scenes that need to be filmed.

Only then did I feel like I knew something. This is the reason why famous producers kept giving NGs. It was a mistake to be confident that I would win over the audience with just one performance.

After all, he is a veteran who has experienced many hardships in the theater version, but in the drama version, his career is shorter than a passing minor role. If the problem was not knowing the difference and just being motivated, that was the problem.

After the first filming is over.

“Aww, it stings.”

The minor characters who wore beard makeup are removing their beards after filming is over. However, the beard and mustache stuck to the makeup adhesive do not seem to come off easily.

Moreover, perhaps because it was the middle of winter, the makeup adhesive froze, and all the minor characters who finished filming in the morning complained of pain. This is because the number of people on the makeup team is limited, so it is not possible to remove the makeup of even minor characters individually. It was then.

“Everyone, please gather around for a moment!”

Suddenly, England appeared at the place where the small actors were gathered, holding a large kettle.

In addition, manager Lee Bong-chun handed out iron bowls one by one as if he had been waiting for them, and the minor characters seemed to be dumbfounded as they accepted the iron bowls. Then, England approached the people holding the iron bowl and poured lukewarm water from the kettle.

“Soak your chin in lukewarm water for a minute and it will come off easily. Don’t rush to take it off, just wait a little while and think of it as slowly peeling off the adhesive like peeling off an eggshell.”

Someone followed the British advice and immediately soaked the mustache and beard in lukewarm water. And soon enough, the beards that seemed like they would come off easily fall off from the back of the head like a lie. Seeing that, all the minor characters quickly follow suit.

The water brought by England is not ordinary lukewarm water. Because a small amount of olive oil is added, the strong makeup adhesive falls off easily.

“When undoing your topknot, don’t remove the hairpin right away. It’s easier to gently touch the sides with your hands to loosen it and then remove it. If you don’t do it because your head hurts, it may become more tangled and you may end up having to cut your hair with scissors!”

You may think it’s too scary to just solve one platitude, but this is all wisdom that comes from past life experiences. In the case of supporting actors (extras), it is better to have a supporting cast leader. However, people who work in small jobs are literally freelancers.

Most people don’t even have an agency, let alone a manager. At the filming site, we only occasionally move under the direction of the FD, but no one provides proper help. This is because the make-up team and filming team do not have the capacity to cover only Jo Joo-yeon’s actors.

“Hey, I told you just now. It’s even more difficult if you pull it out right away. Let’s see. How are you going to untangle me if I’m already so tangled? I’ll do it for you, so just stay still for a moment.”

In England, we tend to be quite honest with our minor characters. I can’t help but feel sad because, like them, there was a time when I played small roles praying to get at least one shot in the frame.

“her.”

Actor Park Sang-cheol exclaims as he looks at the scene.

“It’s really amazing, isn’t it?”

At that time, a famous producer approached actor Park Sang-cheol and asked. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t surprised. Most stars live up to their name.

In severe cases, there were numerous instances where workers refused to eat lunch with their subordinates or did not get out of the vehicle if they did not like the schedule. In that sense, there is not a single trace of arrogance in England as a leading actor.

“Just now, the head of the makeup team came to me and asked. I wonder if this isn’t Actor Jang’s first time in a historical drama. In fact, I think the same thing. How on earth does he know how to do that? Just looking at the way he takes care of minor characters is like that. Most actors are like that. “It’s behavior that can’t even be imitated.”

“Director Yoo, you said you filmed with Actor Jang before, right? Was it like that back then?”

“It hasn’t changed. I was even more surprised back then than I am now. A boy with raven hair that was almost waist-length came early in the morning with an armful of boiled potatoes to keep the minor characters from starving. Yang, who was upset by the empty stomachs of the filming team, poured honey water into a kettle and took a bowl each. “It’s amazing that I turned it around.”

While listening to the famous producer’s words, actor Park Sang-cheol realized that he had really misunderstood the actor Jang Young-guk. Didn’t you scoff when you saw the article saying it was a signal announcing the birth of a great actor? However, at the filming site, the praise he receives from the media seems rather weak.

Who would look at that actor and think he’s just a fluff who hasn’t even become an adult yet? The sight of him wandering around the filming set is like a seasoned Noh Ik-jang in a drama.

* * *

“Just take a step back.”

Director Baek Jang-hoon and actor Ahn Jung-hyun are sitting across from each other and playing baduk. In a fierce battle of numbers, Baekdol is finally taking the lead and consolidating his victory. The wrinkles of director Baek Jang-hoon, who picked up a black stone, are deepening. If things continue like this, won’t this lead to being cornered by a foreigner? Moreover, it is a match where bets are placed.

“Hey, brother. This isn’t a construction site, so there’s no need to buy anything. Do you think I’m doing this because I want to drink wild ginseng wine that you made 20 years ago? Every time I lose to you by two houses, my competitive spirit boils over. What do you think? My improved skills. ”

“Where did you get any private lessons?”

Actor Ahn Joong-hyun smiles triumphantly. Isn’t there a famous saying from a certain nationalist? One house is land and two houses are sky. How much effort have you made so far to bridge that gap?

He said he developed his skills by receiving private tutoring from a professional engineer. Perhaps thanks to that, Ahn Jung-hyun’s mouth is relaxed even while a battle of moves is taking place on the checkerboard.

“By the way, did you hear that England played the role of king this time?”

“I only heard about cancer.”

“Oh my gosh. My first time playing a king in a historical drama was after over ten years of acting experience. I can’t believe I’ve already taken on the role of a king. In historical dramas, they usually don’t ask beginners to play the king.”

“Junghyeon, what kind of king was it that you were in charge of?”

“You were Grand Prince Suyang. Because of your role, you went out to the hunting grounds every time and took pictures while riding on horseback, and you heard all kinds of troubles. By the way, since you keep wasting time, I feel like I should shout out to you. Where is the baduk player?”

“Hmm.”

It was when coach Baek Jang-hoon’s cheek twitched.

“Eat your meal, Grandpa.”

England came to visit the two people. He had been there for so long that he showed no sign of leaving the study even in the evening, so he came here. In this way, the stew that the housekeeper cooked turned into a stew.

“Do you want to play baduk?”

England looks at the checkerboard and narrows his eyes. Actor Ahn Joong-hyun shows his composure by raising his hand as if to not disturb him.

“Yeong-guk, I guess I’ll have to wait. I already won the fight, but you didn’t give in. You won’t be able to eat. Oh my, I guess it’s true that you get stubborn when you get older. Hahahaha.”

“Hmm.”

Director Baek Jang-hoon just seems to clear his throat one after another. At that moment, England looks down at the checkerboard and reads the mysterious battle of moves. Actor Ahn Joong-hyun looks puzzled at the sight.

“England, do you know how to play baduk?”

“little bit.”

“Really? Well then, why don’t you sit down and finish it instead of my brother? It looks like he’s been playing baduk and gone somewhere. He’s been clearing his throat for ten minutes now. By the way, my brother, I’m going to bring out the 20-year-old mountain ginseng as accompaniment today. “I will write it.”

England’s eyes widen at the mention of 20-year-old wild ginseng liquor. This is because I know very well that it is my grandfather’s favorite drink.

Even though he enjoys Yakju every time, he never drinks as much as he drinks. Wasn’t it a liquor that I saved to open when the baseball team I was rooting for won? At that time, England sits down next to the grandfather and explains further.

“Then can I really leave it there? Is your grandfather okay with it too?”

“huh?”

“Now, I see that you and Youngguk are trying to team up and beat me. That’s good. I’ll use my generosity and allow Youngguk to step in as a pinch hitter. Instead, if England loses, you’ll have to grant your uncle’s wish later.”

“Then, if I win, please grant me a wish too. Tomorrow is my first scene. If you lose, you will be my reading partner all night long. How about that?”

“okay!”

Director Baek Jang-hoon tries to stop him, but when he sees England’s expression, he tilts his head. Aren’t the usually humble England’s eyes shining as if they are asking us to leave it to them? Only actor Ahn Joong-hyun, who could not see the scene, was smiling leisurely.

“Then I will leave it to you from now on.”

I wonder where in the world there is a person who practices national actors for their roles while reading the script. This is an opportunity that cannot be missed. England looks down at the checkerboard in concentration. And then he smiles softly. Actor Ahn Joong-hyun probably doesn’t know. In England’s past life, his hobby as much as golf was playing baduk.

“It’s finally your first day of filming as a lead actor. How do you feel?”

It’s the first day of filming for the drama. Excitement and tension flow at the same time. The famous producer also seems to have read the emotions, and after a brief conversation, he stands up in the waiting room. The image of England wearing a dragon robe fills the waiting room mirror. Eventually, the assistant director’s voice is heard saying that standby is complete.

“Scene number 11: Transformed King Yeonsangun—!”

The drama begins with the future. It first shows why Yeonsangun became a tyrant.

In Sajeongjeon (思政殿), which means thinking and politics, ministers stand on either side. In order to take care of political affairs, various issues taking place in the eight provinces of Joseon are listed through the mouths of ministers. However, Yeonsangun, who is sitting at the head table, still shows no change in his expression.

“Your Majesty, is there a problem with your body?”

Eunuch Kim Cheo-seon asks carefully. However, Yeonsangun answers by briefly shaking his head. The cold gaze is scanning the heads of the ministers. Every time Yeonsangun’s sharp gaze touches his subjects, they swallow their saliva without even realizing it.

‘It feels good.’

The famous producer holding the megaphone raises two fingers up in the atmosphere of the filming site. This means doing two scenes at once. This is because we decided that there was no need to stop the current atmosphere and cut off the tape. The actors are unperturbed because they have already heard what they have to say.

However, Yeonsangun’s expression as he sat at the head of the table was so scary that it was hard to tell whether he was acting or if he was actually angry.

‘It would be nice to use it as a trailer.’

The person sitting on the throne now is not Yeonsangun Lee Yong. He was Lee Gyeol, the twin abandoned by the royal family and the king’s only younger brother. However, none of the government officials are aware of this fact. It was then.

“The late King thought too lightly of you.”

Yeonsangun Lee Gyeol, who was sitting on the throne, opens his mouth. It is unclear whether he is referring to King Seongjong or his older brother, Yi Yong. However, what they have in common is their criticism of the ministers.

“I thought they would follow me if I consoled them. However, as time passed, the gods’ ambitions became deeper and deeper, and in the end, last night, an unknown assassin broke into Gangnyeongjeon. Perhaps the person who ordered me to be killed must be here. It must be in.”

A look of surprise is evident on the faces of the ministers upon hearing the word assassin. How safe would it be for anyone to set foot in the king’s quarters?

Eunuch Kim Cheo-seon was equally surprised. Because he knows nothing about it. However, looking at the appearance of the official uniform and Naegeum camouflage assisting Yeonsangun, it seems that they already knew that fact.

“Your Majesty, I must quickly find that assassin…”

“Stop!”

Yeonsangun Lee Gyeol raises his hand. The ministers felt as if their hearts were still racing due to the series of events that had taken place without their knowledge. It was then.

Yeonsangun Lee Gyeol stands up from the throne and walks towards the ministers standing on either side. Every time he takes a step from the head of the table, the hem of his red robe flutters as if he is giving a creepy smile.

“There is someone here trying to kill me. But you held a banquet last night without knowing that fact, right?”

“”Your Majesty, please kill the small people!”

It was that moment.

“Yes, if that is the will of the ministers, then I will gladly follow it.”

Suddenly, Yeonsangun Lee Gyeol took out the Unsword from the scabbard of his military uniform. The faces of the government ministers were bewildered and surprised. It is full of bays. Since no one has ever drawn a sword in Sajeongjeon since the founding of the Joseon Dynasty, everyone is unable to raise their heads due to Yeonsangun’s shining eyes. It was then. Slurp. The ministers glance up at the

sound

of swords suddenly heard. And I can’t keep my mouth shut at the sight I see. Someone’s eyes are wide open as if they are going to faint. The king himself has carved a long scar on his palm.

“This blood flowing today is like your past mistakes. “Isn’t this what happened because, as a lord, he failed to look after his subjects?”

Not only the eunuch Kim Cheo-seon, but also the ministers of the royal court are so scared that they don’t know what to do. They can’t believe that the lord will leave a scar on his body. Because I never knew in my dreams.

“Look carefully.”

A drop of blood flows down the hem of the Gonryongpo and wets the floor of Sajeongjeon. It must be a pledge for his brother Lee Yung, who died on his behalf. Yeonsangun Lee Gyeol scans the crowd with his shining eyes

. This blood flowing from my body.’

For Lee Yung, who gave up the throne for his blood relatives and died.

‘When will the capital be covered?’

This becomes Yeonsangun.
