I Will Live As An Actor - Chapter 12

I Will Live as an Actor Episode 12:

Shivering.

Yumyeong didn’t want to miss the feeling of the moment. The picture I had drawn in my head was unfolding before my eyes as if it had been tallied. Filming for a child actor is close to hardship. This is because it was the director’s job to give instructions and improve on inexperienced acting.

But what about now? Not only was the young Kim Ha-jin portrayed exactly as in the script, but even the unscheduled ad-libs were perfect. There were a lot of things I wanted to ask, but I wanted to incorporate my current emotions into the shoot as much as possible.

“Scene number 14: Hajin and Yerin walking around campus—!”

For the filming of scene number 14, instructions were given to Yeonsu through FD, but no elaboration was given to England. It was because of my desire to see his acting.

“Mundi Gasna, why don’t you come quickly? It’ll go away slowly and it’ll cost you a thousand dollars!”

“You’re going too fast.”

“All the children in Seoul are so weak that I have to go to school on a busy night!”

The girl exhaled. Even his complexion was pale, as if he was not feeling well to begin with.

“I’m a little unwell.”

“Then why are you asking me to go out and take a look when I’m stuck in class? I can’t even walk!”

“I think you’ll be fine if you just rest a little.”

At that sight, the boy approached, wiping the bridge of his nose in humility.

“Get on your back.”

“uh?”

“Don’t you know Korean? How long will you keep pushing me like a slug to make me ride on your back? Even if I go around all day, I’ll still drive everyone!”

When the girl seemed to hesitate for a moment, the boy urged her in frustration.

“Flop!”

The kneeling boy’s back was stained with sweat and sand, and it felt like he was facing a blank wilderness. As the pure white one-piece was carefully placed on top, it felt as fresh as if a mountain wind flower had bloomed in a deserted wilderness. The flower language of windflower means secret love. It was intended to act as a foreshadowing foreshadowing the future of the two. It was then.

“uh!”

Everyone was startled by the sudden raindrops. Yoo Myung’s eyes were full of regret, but he had no choice but to take off his headphones and jump up from his seat. This was because the equipment had to be withdrawn. Still, it did not mean there was no harvest. Even though it was cut off during filming, it was a picture that didn’t require any editing.

However, the two child actors seemed unaware that filming had yet to be halted.

“Seoul son only eats dew. It’s so light, so why should he eat it?”

The girl seemed to be embarrassed and had her head down on the boy’s shoulder. The filming crew watched the two child actors walking for a long time in silence. What a beautiful picture it is, to the point where I regret not being able to capture it on video. As raindrops caught in his long hair flowed down the boy’s cheeks.

“When did filming end?”

The boy asked as he carefully put the girl down.

* * *

The filming team was in a hurry to withdraw due to the unexpected rain, wondering if the tiger was about to get married. All filming equipment is sensitive to water and is expensive. She was just as picky as my wife, so I always had to handle her with care. The staff was busy gathering filming equipment, including cameras, lights, and sound.

“Oh my gosh, my whole body is sore. The day I go is a market day, so why can’t the meteorologists at the Meteorological Administration predict the weather right away? It’s a rainy day, so they set up outdoor filming, but Uyano. If Ikada gets a puncture, it’s hard to keep up with Director Yu’s schedule. .”

“It’s harder for you than me.”

“I have some Jjambap, kid! I can’t believe I’ve experienced something like this once or twice before. By the way, even the hem of my pants got wet trying to pack the equipment. My wife must have been nagging me when she saw this. Are you taking pictures while lying down on the camera?”

Cinematographer Kim Deuk-hyung burst into laughter and shook off the remaining moisture from his clothes. By the time all the water had been shaken off, a cup of warm coffee was naturally handed to me.

“Director Kiya Yoo also has good sense! I just drank this mixed coffee on a rainy day. It’s a good tonic for the body, but it feels good to drink the hot coffee soup down my throat. Oh, do you like the outdoor scenes today?”

“Just listen.”

“That’s right! I got the same feeling when I saw it! I thought there was no need to find an editing store for this! I really like the sound there too. The original vocals are so good that there is no need to filter anything out. There is no need to insert separate sound effects either. There’s no noise to that extent. It’s been a while since I’ve done a one-shot like this while filming. But did Director Yoo tell you to say the shoelace-goo line?”

Yoo Myung shook his head briefly. Wasn’t he also embarrassed? When I saw the child actor’s (Yeonsu) eyes shaking, it felt like I had swallowed bitter water. It feels like a drop of water has fallen on a well-drawn watercolor painting. The moment I closed my eyes and wiped my face, I heard the boy’s voice.

“Huh. I knew the situation after reading the script, but I thought about it just in case. Of course, I thought Director Yoo would have told me, but that wasn’t the case, Kai. Hey, Choi was right.”

“Lighting director?”

“The Choi family doesn’t know! When shooting outdoors, you have to consider the quality of natural light and reflected light equipment. Outdoors are often more difficult than indoors. But strangely, the UK’s Jumma uses not only natural light but also reflected light so well that the equipment illumination is also good. There was no need to adjust it! Isn’t it true that Jumma does what only actors with extensive field experience do? Is this really a coincidence?”

Born to be.

Famous thought so. Not only is the boy’s insight felt during the conversation, but he also understands the scene situation by just reading the script, and even ad-libs naturally without being embarrassed. This was the conclusion drawn from all of this. As the number of filming increased, the boy was surprising the audience with his new appearance, like peeling off an onion.

“Director Yoo, Algiers? We decided to shoot a Daepot restaurant today! It’s Actor Park’s day off too, so let’s have a drink together!”

“Sir, I’m really sorry, but can I skip today? Let’s go to Daepot Restaurant next time.”

“Wow? Is something going on all of a sudden? The filming has been extended a little bit, and there are only a few scenes, so the deadline is not so tight, right?”

“I need to have a quick chat with author Choi in Seoul.”

“Oh, has writer Choi finally caught Director Yu’s eye?”

“That’s not it. I just have a question about the script.”

“Kkeke, I’m Director Yoo again. I’m taking it easy. Just because it’s cliché doesn’t mean I don’t know how hard you’re trying. It’s hard to see your surroundings when you’re running at full speed. If the guy in the vanguard runs first, the son behind him goes. “Aren’t you tired? You’re getting old, so you’re just nagging me like my wife. By the way, Director Yoo needs to learn some skills from Young-gi Jum-ma. Otherwise, he’ll be an old bachelor and a ghost at a broadcasting station for the rest of his life!”

“yes?”

In response to Yoo Myung’s question, Kim Deuk-hyung smiled happily and pointed somewhere with his chin.

“I’m a bastard. I’m a bastard. When will I get away with it?”

“Are you flirting?”

“Look at me, there’s absolutely no picture!”

The two child actors were sitting in order under the low eaves, facing the scene of the campus with rain falling.

* * *

Why is he like this?

“Aren’t you cold?”

It was a sudden torrential downpour, as if a water sprinkler had spilled water. To enjoy contemplation, I sat on the eaves of a shabby building where exercise equipment was stored. But didn’t Yeonsu come suddenly? She blinked her big eyes like a kitten caught in the rain.

“What about your mother?”

“He’s talking to other ladies.”

“Then why are you here?”

Yeonsu was unable to continue speaking, her small lips trembling. Anyway, does it matter what the reason is? I am with an innocent and beautiful actress whom I have never met in my past life.

Even if he later became a local government official, he could be seen as having at least one snack. Every time Yeonsu appears on TV, people say,

‘I heard that I filmed a drama with Yeonsu when I was young! ‘That training that’s on TV now!’

Isn’t that enough to brag about?

“How can you act so well?”

“you?”

“Aren’t you the same age as me…?”

There was no certainty in Yeonsu’s trembling voice. She was two years younger than me. But I don’t know what he ate to grow so big, but he was roughly the same height as me. Still, he’s such a small guy.

“Did you learn acting separately?”

“Why do you think you learned it?”

“Oh no. She was a little better than me. It seems similar…” In her

last life, Yeonsu started out as a child actor and established herself as an actress. She was not an actress who was forced to act by being surrounded by a wide skirt like other child actors. Isn’t it because he loves and likes acting that he has been exploring and longing for it from a young age? But that’s still true. Now, how much of a difference is there between me and you?

“Actually, I want to act well, but I’m not satisfied… You speak Seoul and Busan well. And the directors really like it. I memorized the script and did the same, but it didn’t work out. I learn from the teachers every day… ”

He says it’s you until the end, but I still look at him because he’s cute. In my past life, I would have been a sky-high senior, but now it’s a different story. If you add in my past life experience, I’m already at a level where most middle-aged actors can’t even hand out a business card.

“Look over there, you see the pine tree.”

“pine tree?”

“Each pine tree has a different appearance. They grow big due to wind and rain and are sensitive to their surroundings, so each branch has a different way of spreading out. Some pine trees grow upright, while others grow crookedly to avoid surrounding branches. Still, look. “Whether it grows straight or has crooked branches, it always extends toward the sky. Smoke is the same.”

A pine tree that is green all year round and is sensitive to change as if it upholds fidelity and integrity. Even if the branches grow crookedly, who can say anything? To become such a beautiful old pine tree.

“You don’t have to be tied down to the script. Do the acting you want. That’s all you need. Then one day, the script will be yours too. All you have to do is not go down a side road and look in one direction. Just like the pine tree standing tall over there.”

After speaking, I thought he sounded like an old man. Was it too difficult to say? Yeonsu was blinking without answering. Eventually, her lips seemed to move, and a clear voice that I had never heard before came out.

“Oppa, is that really true?”

“uh?”

“Like a pine tree standing tall, I have to act the way I want!”

“yes.”

“Who told you that? Your acting teacher?”

If I could find an acting teacher, it would be middle-aged Jang Young-guk, who was crazy about acting in his past life. Nodding briefly, she looked happier than anything in the world. By the way, didn’t you just call me oppa?

“Where did you go to acting school, Oppa? Cheongsol Mir Jisung?”

It was a training session at one of the best acting schools in Seoul that specializes in child actors. You might be curious, but no matter how you look at it, acting is in his nature. A child with such a passion for acting. But it’s no use saying that you went to something you didn’t go to. This is where I learned acting. of course.

“South Port.”

Isn’t it a place filled with the joys and sorrows of life?
