I Will Live As An Actor - Chapter 107

I will live as an actor Episode 107

Lee Yong (李).

The childhood of Yeonsangun, the 10th king of Joseon, was often filled with the ups and downs of being a child of wealthy families. Some say he had the potential to become a tyrant from a young age, while others say he was more merciful to others than anyone else and had a more upright disposition, so he was destined to become a tyrant.

The reason why opinions are so divided may be because there is a lack of historical records recording Yeonsangun’s activities when he was young.

Even in Yeonsangun’s diary, his childhood is expressed vaguely. He simply expressed that he had a sensitive nature when he was young, but did not do anything notable. Even in the stories recorded in historical records, where he was a psychopath and where he was an intelligent boy, the gap was so large that it was difficult to know what was the truth.

However, there was one thing in common between what was recorded in the Annals and Yasa. It is said that Yeonsangun Lee Yung enjoyed hunting and horseback riding since he was young.

Heeeeeeee!

Horses with light red manes roughen their touregil. As if to show off that his entire body is muscular, the muscles on his thighs shake mercilessly every time he does a tourejil. The famous producer reprimanded AD Kim Young-min for seeing that.

“Kim Young-min, I told you to borrow a horse for filming. Did you ask me to recruit a racing horse? Look at those thighs and chest muscles. Are we filming some kind of war scene? If you get kicked once, you won’t have any bones left! ”

“Director, it’s not that, it’s a horse that the main character will ride. So I contacted the equestrian association and asked them to send me a handsome guy who could be used for filming a historical drama. I guess they knew that such an ignorant and big guy would come. When I listened to the manager who came with me, the president of the association said: England sent this guy to me as a really nice guy because he’s a huge fan. I was surprised to see it this morning too. I’m not saying anything, I thought there was a rhino there. But filming is right around the corner so I can’t send that guy back… .”

“Ugh… what should I do with this?”

The famous PD sighs. The animal that appears most often in historical dramas is none other than horses. Although it is an animal that is closely related to historical dramas, ironically, the animal that directors (producers) hate the most is also a horse.

‘It would be a big problem if there was an accident.’

Due to the nature of historical dramas, filming is often done in narrow mountain paths or rough terrain. Because of this, accidents involving falling horses also occurred frequently. There is a joke among drama actors that if they play a horse riding role in a historical drama, they will either suffer a herniated disc or break a bone.

Therefore, in the filming of historical dramas, a famous horse is not a horse with an excellent pedigree and excellent physical condition, but a horse that adapts well to the filming site and is timid.

“Oh my gosh, stop complaining. Why are you getting so angry? I’m the guy who was so docile even until the morning. If I say this in front of the producer, how can I save my face? Mongeul, I’m asking you to calm down. huh.”

An old horse caretaker is hurriedly taking care of the horses. Didn’t they do a thorough job of grinding and trimming the hooves for filming the drama last night? He looked carefully to see if there were any ticks in his mane.

I’m sure it was because of the many people at the filming site that he was so docile until he arrived at the filming site. He bulges his muscles and snorts. In the end, the famous producer swallows his sigh and asks:

“Is it because a lot of people are so angry about what the teacher said?”

“It’s not like he doesn’t have that side to him. This guy, Sundol, is someone who is cherished by the association. He grew up only in the hands of managers, and even though he has a shy tongue, he is inherently gentle with people, so he’s not the kind of guy who runs around like this. Even though his mind is twisted today. “It’s kind of annoying.”

“Could you please contact the association right now and change it to something else? I don’t think it would be suitable for filming as it is too big and intimidating.”

“The nearest branch of the association is located six hours away from the filming location in the mountains, so it is difficult to make a hasty one right away. Besides, Inoma, the pure dog, is just looking around because it is winter.

‘It’s not Sundol, it’s Pookdol.’

Contrary to the name Sundol, which appears to be gentle and gentle, the horse’s condition appears dangerous enough that even a stranger can immediately tell that it is angry. There are two horses prepared at the mountain filming location. One will be ridden by Lee Yong, and the other will be ridden by Lee Yong’s bodyguards. However, if we change words, the spirit is not alive. It was then.

“Producer Yu.”

England, who has finished preparing for filming, approaches with her silk hem fluttering. It is safe to say that wearing a topknot and a hat on one’s head is the refrain of a noble family from the nobility.

“Is this the horse I’m riding today?”

Before the famous PD can say anything, England approaches Sundol. It was in England that I learned horseback riding for the filming of a historical drama. Even in your past life, didn’t you occasionally ride a horse while filming a historical drama? This was before the horse manager hurriedly blocked England’s path.

Heeeeeeee.

Sundol raises his head towards England’s face, letting out a different tone of voice than before. AD Kim Young-min closes his eyes tightly at that sight. But what happened? Instead of the screams I expected to hear next.

“Hey, it tickles.”

I hear laughter from England. For some reason, the horse that was snorting angrily just a moment ago, as soon as it saw England, raised its head and bumped into his face like a gentle puppy. The way he acted cutely as if he had just met his owner.

“I said it was itchy and I was going to get crumpled like this. Manager, what is this guy’s name?”

“Be pure and pure.”

“He’s a very gentle friend, just like his name. So gentle, woojjujju.”

Everyone on set, including the horse trainer, opens their mouths.

“Scene No. 57 The reason for the hunt—!”

Cinematographer Kim Deuk-hyeong is sweating while carrying his camera on a narrow mountain path where the first snow has fallen and melted. On the sloping, unpaved mountain road, the melted snow was frozen, making it impossible to even install tracks.

Moreover, it is impossible to use a jimmy jib due to the numerous tree branches rising into the sky. Therefore, sometimes when I wanted to take a full shot (F/S), I would use a ladder to take pictures close to the hill.

‘Please don’t get NG.’

Not only the filming team, but all other staff members have the same thoughts. Even though it is winter, the lighting director is also sweating hard as he adjusts the positions of the youngest members holding reflectors.

This is because the natural light shining through the thick tree branches changes its direction every moment according to the clouds, and if you look away even a little from the light reflecting off the melted snow, the actors’ faces will be cast in shadow.

“Sir, why do you want to come out here to hunt? This place is so barren that even mountain animals stop coming.”

Crown Prince Lee Yung goes hunting with only his bodyguards. In the first place, no one thinks that he is the crown prince who will inherit the throne, as his attire is a hunting outfit that is commonly seen in aristocratic families. Moreover, isn’t it a deep mountain valley?

“Gwaksan, do you know why I like hunting? It’s because I can escape from the cage-like palace and enjoy this wide freedom. I can also avoid the eyes of the ministers, who are as blue as the day. Why are they like that to me, who has not yet been bestowed the throne? “Do you know if I come here often?”

“I’m just thinking about it, but I’m telling you, isn’t it because you want to impress the crown prince?”

“Well, they come every time to check my intentions. They must be judging whether the crown prince in front of them will be a scarecrow who will follow their words even after he sits on the throne, or whether he will point the sword at them. This is what is said in the Great King’s Secret Hall. “Halma-mama, it’s the same. Didn’t you change all the court ladies by my side into people from the Great War?”

The crown prince’s life may seem glamorous on the outside, but if you look inside, it is as lonely as a bare tree branch at dusk.

“Kwak-san, it’s been a few years since you helped me.”

“It has been ten years since you were installed.”

“When Abama first appointed you as my guard, I did not trust you. Even if anyone were to die at the foot of this deep mountain, no one would know. The guard warrior who went hunting with the crown prince found the crown prince among a group of bandits. “It would be okay to say that he died protecting me. Would you be willing to die here today?”

At that moment, Lee Yong grabs the reins and turns his horse. The pale red mane shakes and snarls violently

.

Lee Yung immediately takes out the sword from the sheath at his side and slashes the guard’s neck.

chin.

However, the tip of the sword stops leaving only a small wound on the guard’s neck. On the other hand, the guard warrior looks at his master with a determined gaze, as if he has decided to die without making any counterattack.

“Why don’t you avoid or fight back?”

“My life already belongs to the Crown Prince. I have been the Crown Prince’s person ever since your Majesty gave me to the Crown Prince. How could someone who is a subject disobey my lord’s orders? Whatever the reason, I “If you tell me to die, I will swear my loyalty right here and there by committing suicide!”

“Okay, the excitement has worn off.”

Guard warrior Kwak San, does he know? The fact that today’s oath will later become an official’s attire and assist King Yeonsangun for the rest of his life. The sound of horseshoes stepping on a field of snow filled with cow shoes awakens my thoughts. A small village can be seen where the horse’s head with its light red mane is facing.

“That place is called Geolsangol. It is the place where the person you need to protect as carefully as me lives from now on.”

Who on earth would a person as important as the crown prince be living in such a shabby village in the middle of the mountains?

“Sir, may I ask who he is?”

“What would a person living in a butcher village be if he were not a butcher? However, you must not be fooled by his external appearance. The name of the person you must protect from now on is Gil-sam (吉三).”

Crown Prince Yi Yong raises his hat and faces Gwak San with his bright eyes.

“This is my only younger brother, Lee Gyeol.”

After filming in the mountains, England is giving carrots to Sundol, who worked hard with him all day. On the outside, it looks like a very sturdy warhorse, but its cuteness, with its head bumping, tongue sticking out, and licking its face, is no different from that of a puppy.

“Soondol, stop licking. I’ll see you often at filming locations from now on, so I want to keep licking like this.”

“How did you tame him so gently? England, it turns out you were born with a talent for riding, didn’t you?”

Around the time I was giving carrots to Sundol. A famous producer approaches. He still looks in disbelief. Don’t you think that the guy who was angry until morning becomes such a docile sheep when England touches him? Thanks to this, I was able to feel at ease during the entire day of filming.

“Sundoli is very charming, but when filming, he is so perceptive that he doesn’t even show any cuteness and just follows along when I pick up the reins, so I don’t have any luck. By the way, this is the first time I’ve ever spoken to someone like this on set.”

“How can you make it sound like this isn’t your first time riding a horse on set?”

‘Oops.’

Just as England was thinking about how to change the topic, Sundol gave an angry look as if reading his thoughts. Then Yoo Myung is startled and takes a step back. However, when it was touched by England again, it became as gentle as a lie, making it truly a great horse. After all, you are so good at reading people’s minds.

“By the way, PD Yu. You know that I have to go up to Seoul right now, right?”

“I heard from Manager Bong-chun, but they said it was because of the university oral interview? Where on earth did you want to go so that you even had to go through the interview? If you got a perfect score, you would most likely get a free pass.”

“Producer Yu, you are from the generation that takes academic achievement tests. What is the difference between the entrance exam then and now?”

“Look at this, are you already treating me like an old man in the back room? To a bachelor who hasn’t even gotten married yet.”

“I’ll let you know later after I pass. It would be embarrassing if I told you in advance and then got rejected. I said hello to the other directors, staff, and actors in advance. I was just about to say hello to producer Yoo. Thank you for taking time out of my schedule. .”

“It’s nothing else, it’s for England to take your college entrance exam, so of course we have to skip it, so don’t worry and go. It’s not like England won’t go to the filming set because you don’t have a day. If anything, other actors would have worked harder. I can’t lose to you.”

It was a unique atmosphere that was circulating at the filming site. Veteran actors with a long experience in dramas were all impressed by England and were accelerating their acting. After all, they had only seen England act in a scene once. If they had seen it, they had no choice but to do so. After all, they had become a smoke hole.

Not long after England left the filming set.

“Director Yoo, do you know where England is? There’s no filming in England tomorrow. Let’s have a drink of makgeolli together with our child. Kalani has disappeared somewhere.” ”

Hey, what kind of makgeolli is that to a friend who just got kicked out of a minor’s ticket? And now you’re in Seoul. When I asked you earlier, you said you already told Senior Kim?”

“What? I thought you meant going into the dorm first. But are you suddenly coming to Seoul in the middle of the night?”

“I have an oral interview at a university tomorrow.”

“University?”

At the mention of university, cinematographer Kim Deuk-hyeong elaborates, as if he is puzzled.

“Didn’t you say that England has perfect scores on the college entrance exam? But they even ask for interviews? ? Where on earth did you apply?”

“They’ll tell you after you’re accepted.”

In the UK, entrance exams are conducted in secret. It has received a lot of media attention since the college entrance exam score was perfect. That’s why university entrance exam results are not announced until after you are accepted. The agency had asked the media to cooperate.

Not only students but also parents were having a hard time due to the war of applications for college entrance exams. So, even the media companies were maintaining the embargo considering the repercussions of college entrance exam students. However, cinematographer Kim Deuk-hyeong The sense of humor is better than expected.

“Is it true that you applied to Korea University’s law department? It’s because only the brightest students from all over the country gather there!”
