I Will Live As An Actor - Chapter 111

I Will Live as an Actor Episode 111

The filming period for historical dramas usually exceeds a year. Therefore, from the broadcasting station’s perspective, historical dramas have no choice but to become more popular as the days go by. The miniseries is becoming more and more powerful. Just as people’s tastes change, viewers also tend to increasingly prefer short episodes and tense storylines.

In that sense, it is no exaggeration to say that ‘The Secret of King Yeonsan’, which was named a fusion historical drama, accurately identified the needs of viewers.

“I will quickly upload the tape of Team B, Senior Yu. And Team C has now set off for the Yongin Folk Village. For the scene where the upper body was inserted, I passed on the VFX to make the hem of the dragon robe more vivid according to the director of photography’s idea. “But what are you worrying so hard about?”

There is a musty air in the editing room. How dare you say that the editing room is always full of the white night phenomenon?

Basically, you have to attach jump cuts and tie together scenes that were previously filmed through a montage. Moreover, there are countless tasks waiting to be done, including retouching and gently cutting out unnecessary pictures, so much that it is difficult to mention them.

Of course, the professional skills are provided by the editing room staff, including the editing team leader, but it is natural that the director holding the megaphone must also sit next to him.

“Scene 47, I was originally going to skip it with a swish pan, but no matter how much I look at it, it’s a waste to just skip it.”

“You mean the scene where England does push-ups with his shirt off?”

“Yes, Team Leader Kim in the editing room also said the same thing. It was too much of a waste to just capture it as a full shot. At the time, I was in a hurry because the costume team burned my clothes, so I filmed the storyboard as is, but in hindsight, it was such a waste. After checking the edited video today, I felt sad. Even more so.”

A scene from Scene 47 appears beyond the screen of the editing room equipment. A full shot of the crown prince doing push-ups in the Donggung Palace is captured. Only then was AD Kim Young-min able to properly check the video.

At the time of filming, I had to prepare for the next scene right away, so I was so busy discussing cooperation with the assistant cast leader that I didn’t even get to see the filming at the Donggung Palace. Rumor has it that he was so amazing that the female staff members covered their mouths at the filming site.

“Hey, Mi-jeong is right.”

“TBC?”

“I’m talking about the head of the costume team. He was so worried that England burned his clothes. Even before shooting, he came to me and asked me how I was feeling, but after talking to the head of the assistant cast, Mi-jeong’s face was completely different. She had the best costume of her life. “Did you see it? I was wondering what he was talking about… Wow, look at how his forearm and chest muscles are torn apart.”

AD It was when Kim Young-min opened his mouth wide when he saw the man’s body.

“Kim Young-min, how can you call the head of the costume team ‘noona’ when she is much older than me?”

“Before I joined A Crankin, we got together and had drinks a few times. I was probably more comfortable with the costume and art make-up team than the PD. At that time, I decided to just call her sister. Even though she seemed strict, I was secretly soft on the inside. Even that day. Yes, after filming was over, with tears in my eyes, I said,

‘Our youngest survived.’

“But my heart aches so much.”

“Huh, at least one Neoksal.”

“Anyway, if this scene is aired, the instantaneous viewership ratings will be huge. Instead of doing that, let’s film it again in medium format with a different angle instead of a full shot. Anyway, the director even supported the C team, so it’s okay to have such a crazy schedule. By the way, in the UK, this is a law department. “Are you preparing for the entrance exam to a physical education college? Or is this because kids are developing well these days? Didn’t you say it was orientation today?”

“He’s probably in attendance by now. And, at best, Youngmin is only nine years older than you. He’s an adult. An adult. Of course, if you look at it at face value, Youngmin looks much more like you than me.”

“Wow, I never thought Senior Yoo would think of me like that. Then he would call me older brother.”

“This is it!”

Even as they bicker, their eyes are still focused on Crown Prince Lee Yong’s cleft muscles beyond the screen of the editing room equipment. Soon, they simultaneously exclaim in exclamation at the scene that follows. The sweat rays shining with the dawn created a picture like a pictorial.

* * * With the orientation for new students

at

O.T

University, the campus is already buzzing with energy as if spring has arrived. It was a time when the ink on the resident registration card had not yet dried, but everyone seemed to be trying to look like an adult, perhaps out of pride in getting rid of the underage label. Not only has her hair already been dyed, but her teeth are also curly. It’s a good time.

“It’s a good time.”

As my inner thoughts come out of my mouth without me realizing it, manager Lee Bong-chun, who is behind the wheel, glances at the rearview mirror.

“England, you sometimes say that you look like an old child. All the students walking around in that class are the same age as you. You can just look at them on their foreheads and say, ‘I’m a new student.’ But you, England, are like that.”

“Why me?”

“It’s like a graduating student preparing for a job. I can’t see the excitement on my face. Maybe it’s because I have short backpack straps, but when I go to college, I get so excited and excited. It was like that even when I was selling eel at Jagalchi. My younger sister insisted so much that we go to Pusan National University together. “I went there once, and the college kids cracking soju and playing guitar on the lawn looked so romantic.”

“Isn’t it because of CC?”

“What is CC? This car is a 2000 CC.”

Korea University’s campus boasts a large site, one of the three largest in the country. Therefore, there is quite a distance from the main gate to the law school building. Before I knew it, I could see the law department building beyond the car window. If you look at its appearance alone, it is a Danwa building with clear traces of time. You enter the door with ivy covering the dark exterior wall.

Moreover, the names of those who passed last year’s bar exam are written on the fluttering placards, as if to prove its deep history. The number is so great that it fills the entire placard. After all, it must be strange since it is a place where only the brightest minds from all over the country gather.

“I’ll be back.”

“Okay, England. Have fun!”

Manager Lee Bong-chun waves his hand vigorously as if he is sending his younger brother away on a school field trip. It was so strong that the van shook. In fact, although England looks like an old child, isn’t he a child who has just become an adult?

However, because I would not have been able to feel as relaxed as other students my age due to the filming schedule, I hoped to put aside all thoughts of drama for today and enjoy the atmosphere of being a freshman.

“Room 107.”

I repeat the name of the classroom where orientation is held. There is no longer a single person in sight in the first floor hallway. Didn’t you arrive right on time when the orientation started to avoid attracting people’s attention? Eventually, England stops in front of room 107, opens the door, and enters.

“Korea University Law Department Orientation Begins…!”

However, Britain’s idea received even more attention. With the sound of the back door of the classroom opening, the freshmen filling the classroom and the undergraduate students standing at the podium all looked towards England. Moreover, everyone’s eyes widen when they see England’s face. It was then.

“Why are you so slow when you’re late? Hurry up and sit down.”

“yes?”

“You’re a freshman in the law department, right? What have you all seen? No matter how good-looking your classmate is, how can you stare at him with your mouth open like that? How sad the current students here must be. Now, everyone, focus!”

A female student with short hair standing in the podium catches the attention. The voice was so strong that the freshmen, who were surprised to see England’s face, quickly turned their heads back to their original state. Soon, the identity of the short-haired female student was naturally revealed.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Jaehee Shin, a third-year student at Hankuk University’s Department of Law who serves as the 51st president.”

* * *

Like all freshmen in college, seniors are like heaven. In fact, when they go out into society, they are only three or four years apart at most, but to freshmen who are still novices, within the walls of college, they seem as big as Mount Tai.

“Hello, I’m Kim Man-seok, a freshman law major!”

One by one, new students go up to the podium and introduce themselves. Seniors, including the president of the society, are greeted in the front row with their heads crossed. On the other hand, the faces of the new students who climbed onto the podium were all tense.

“Aren’t you going to tell me what year you’re in? And you’re not going to do a talent show? Even if you tell me your name, it won’t get into our heads anyway. And why are your voices so quiet? Why is this new student’s spirit so low? I’ve been making noises since the first day of OT. Should I do it again?”

In the end, clumsy dance moves and singing that cannot overcome the coercion follow. Therefore, the faces of freshmen waiting for their turn are full of pressure. In the end, when the president of the academy decided to end the talent show at this point, the mischievous senior tried to argue otherwise.

“Hey Shin Jae-hee. Are you ignoring what your senior said just because you’re the president of the society?”

“I’m telling you this because it’s time for the department head to come in a little while, so I think it would be a good idea to get this sorted out. Also, if you want to see a talent show, senior, please lead by example. Among the freshmen here right now, does any of you know your name? ”

“what!”

At that moment, it was England’s turn. As England moves up the ranks, attention is drawn once again. Aren’t you an actor by name? Moreover, he was the top student entering the law department this year. This was after England bowed and greeted his seniors and classmates. The senior who had an argument with the president of the institute just now speaks with a sarcastic expression.

“They don’t show talent here because they say they are celebrities.”

‘It’s not a kid’s joke.’

Oops, they’re kidding. As England gasped and suppressed laughter without realizing it, the senior sitting in the front seat rolled his eyes. England remembers in his mind the sight of a person with a nose as big as Hallabong and cheeks full of greed. It was then.

“Have all the freshmen gathered this year?”

An old professor with white hair enters the classroom. He was one of the interviewers I faced during the oral interview. As soon as he enters the classroom, he smiles happily when he sees England standing at the podium.

When England finally returned to his seat after nodding to the professor, the senior narrowed his eyes as if telling him he was lucky. The old professor, standing at the podium, looks at the freshmen and current students and feels lucky.

“Nice to meet you. I am Shin Jeong-gil, Dean of the Department of Law at Hankuk University. You may think that this old man is doing something wrong by coming on a happy day like today, but I hope you will understand with an open mind. I can’t wait to meet the students who will lead the Department of Law at Hankuk University in the future.”

As soon as Professor Noh starts speaking, everyone concentrates.

“The students who applied on a regular basis all met me face to face at least once in the oral interview room. As an interviewer, I wanted to know what kind of values the upcoming new students had. There were several interview questions, but among them was judicial justice. ), most gave similar answers to the interview questions, except for one student.”

At that moment, Professor Noh’s eyes turn to one person.

“There is no solution because there is a lack of self-reflection. Those words have been lingering in my heart ever since. Student Jang Young-guk, do you still think that way?”

For an instant, the eyes of everyone in the classroom follow Professor Roh to England. Shin Jae-hee, the president of the society, is also looking at England with surprising eyes. England may feel burdened by the attention suddenly focused on him, but he answers in a relaxed manner.

“After coming today, I knew for sure.”

“What?”

“One loach muddies the river.”

“Then isn’t all we have to do is catch that loach?”

“That’s not what I’m worried about.”

“then?”

Britain looks to the left and right. And then, as if ignoring the face of the senior who had just recently criticized the president’s words, he passes by. Eventually, Professor Noh’s eyes become bright as he responds.

“Fish growing in river water that is already muddy grow under the illusion that they are loaches.”
