I Will Live As An Actor - Chapter 149
I will live as an actor Episode 149
: Black Ice.
This means that the road becomes icy. You would be careful if you could see it, but as the name suggests, it is indistinguishable from the asphalt color of the road, so it catches drivers off guard. Black ice on a midsummer day may be something to talk about, but the season is not important when it comes to filming.
Kwaang-!
The sports car that was running with a roar lost direction and skidded like a mad cow. It would have been fortunate if he had crashed into the guardrail alone, but wouldn’t he have completely crushed the small car ahead of him?
Oil mixed with blood was leaking from the driver’s and passenger’s seats of the small car. A sports car that crashes into a small car travels for a long time before stopping.
“Cut!”
As soon as Director Baek Jang-hoon finishes shouting, martial arts director Jae-hong Kwon runs out. The stuntman who was driving the sports car stood up and barely walked out through the narrow gap.
A stunt of that level is not something you can do carelessly, no matter how much experience you have in life. This is only possible with advanced training and many years of experience. Even if Britain had come forward, permission would never have been granted.
The expressway was temporarily rented for filming. To create a raw production without using CG, an actual car accident was created.
“It’s as good as your brother’s blockbuster.”
Cinematographer Do Wook Do is monitoring the video that was just filmed together with director Jang Hoon Baek. This was a scene that showed the true character of Jeong Hae-seok, the villain of Outlaw, and was a moment that triggered the protagonist Lee Howon’s sense of justice.
Soon, director Baek Jang-hoon raises his hand and draws a large circle. It was a standby signal to prepare for the next scene.
“Scene number 89 Jeong Hae-seok’s cigarette!”
Because the filming location was limited in time and space, there was not even a moment of rest. As soon as the stuntman’s double scene was over, it was England’s turn. At the same time as the sound of slate being lifted, he walks out of the sports car, brushing off his thick coat from his shoulders.
“Tsk.”
The sound of clicking one’s tongue echoes on the empty road. It was clear that he had caused an accident, but there was no trace of guilt or fear on his face. Rather, it has an extremely unpleasant face, as if it has been hit by bird droppings while passing by.
“Please help me…”
Then a faint voice is heard. This is the sound heard from a compact car that was in an accident. Its shape is almost unrecognizable, like tofu that has already been crushed. Whether or not he can hear a sound, Jeong Hae-seok takes out his cell phone and makes a call.
“There was an accident, so take care of it and get rid of the CCTV…”
Jeong Hae-seok, who had been giving instructions in a command tone, narrowed his brows. ‘Are there any survivors?’
over the phone .
This is because a question was asked.
Jeong Hae-seok stops answering and takes out a cigarette pack from his coat. A high-quality lighter lights a fire at the end of the year, making a clear sound that is sharply different from the sight of the accident. By the time smoke filled the sky.
“doesn’t exist.”
Jeong Hae-seok shakes the cigarette ashes toward the oil filling the road. OK.
Kwaang-!
The fire spreads quickly along the oil line. Soon, the car at the end of the fuse explodes upward as if on a trampoline. It was a dizzying moment to think that there was actually a person riding inside the compact car. Sparks and black ash scatter in the winter sky, when white snow should be falling.
And the camera zooms in on Jeong Hae-seok, who has already disappeared. It’s like chasing a criminal who is leisurely leaving the scene of an accident in a sports car.

There are about 150 scenes in Outlaw. If you know that the screenplay for a contemporary feature film covers about 120 scenes, it is a bit longer than that. Of course, not all scenes filmed end up on the screen.
Unnecessary scenes are boldly deleted through editing and correction. However, in today’s climax scenes, the atmosphere is more solemn than ever.
“Mr. Hwa-won, let’s try again.”
Martial arts director Kwon Jae-hong is watching Son Hwa-won’s posture. Haven’t you already signed up for work by going back and forth to action school over the past few weeks?
Compared to the UK, where the original life experience was, Son Hwa-won’s Tachimawa (action) was bound to be somewhat lacking. However, for Son Hwa-won, who could not have known that fact, the sight must have been even more whiplashing.
“Very good.”
A smile appears on Jaehong Kwon’s lips. Even if you look at it, I felt proud when the results of my hard work, which I had worked hard at night for the past few weeks, were revealed before my eyes. There are several types of actions. Rough and rough action as well as elegant action that is elaborately put together.
The action that Son Hwa-won would show was even more difficult because it was a clever mix of the former and the latter.
“Hyung, even if I get really hit while filming today, don’t stop and just keep going.”
“what?”
Son Hwa-won’s eyes suddenly widen at the unexpected request. When it comes to putting things together, it happens all the time. In fact, even if rehearsals are repeated and combined, it is difficult to reproduce the breathing exactly at the actual filming site. When Son Hwa-won hesitated, she asked in a stronger tone.
“No, if he stops, I’ll have to hit him again. So, let’s finish it in one shot.”
Normally, when filming an action scene like this, it would be better for the right actor to lighten the mood first.
“If I make a mistake while filming with Tachima, I will continue to do so, okay?”
“Why is it a little scary?”
From the perspective of Son Hwa-won, who had guessed the sum several times at Action School, I had no choice but to look like a monster. Even though I obviously have no experience shooting action scenes, I learned it quickly. It wouldn’t be a lie to say that it’s scary. Soon, the assistant director’s voice is heard saying that standby is complete.

“Scene number 111 Court Kwon Geun (法遠拳近)—!”
Lee Howon, who was serving as deputy chief prosecutor of the Central District Prosecutors’ Office, was promoted much faster than his classmates at the Judicial Research and Training Institute.
Although he was assigned to the Western District Prosecutors’ Office and handled a large number of cases over the past five years, there were many who said that his promotion was too fast. What’s more, he went straight to the central government without even being transferred to a regional area, which an ordinary prosecutor would have had to do at least once.
‘Jeongil Group.’
Of course, there was no one who could talk to him in front of him. This is because it was publicly known that Jeongil Group was behind it. The rapid progression of promotions and a high-end residential-commercial complex with a clear view of the Han River were things that could not have been achieved with the discretion and salary of an ordinary prosecutor.
He was confident that he would live his entire life as a servant at the Jeongil Group, but one day something happened that shook his values. It was a car accident that occurred on the highway. At first, I thought it was a simple traffic accident, but the more I looked into the traces, the clearer the silhouette became.
Not only was all the CCTV out of order, but there was pressure from higher-ups to conclude the internal investigation as soon as possible. But one word from the autopsy doctor made Howon Lee’s eyes tremble.
-You can see that this pro’s esophagus is burnt on the inside. Even the wrinkles went away. This is proof that both of you were alive after the car accident. It appears that he was unable to escape from the driver’s seat and passenger seat and died after being covered in flames.
It was an old couple. They went out early in the morning in a small car to find their son’s house. However, his fate changed due to an unknown traffic accident.
Lee Howon dug into the truth of the incident and found out that the cause of the fire was cigarette ash, and that some of the vehicle parts found around the accident site at the time were sports cars. In the end, the place where his gaze was directed was the Jeongil Group, which he treated like his master.
“President Jeong Hae-seok, were you the real culprit in this incident?”
Howon Lee conducted a reference survey. The person he requested to attend was President Jeong Hae-seok, who is in charge of the Jeongil Group on behalf of Chairman Wang, who is still bedridden.
“so?”
The answer was surprising. In fact, I never even thought that Jeong Hae-seok would respond to the witness interview. However, he probably appeared at the prosecution with a feeling of wanting to see how ants do tricks.
“Prosecutor Lee, I told you that if a dog raised at home tries to bite its owner, it has no choice but to beat it to death. But it’s strange. A dog that has been obediently eating its food and being well-behaved all of a sudden turns out to be like this overnight. It could be rabies. Did you get caught?”
“No time for jokes.”
“Do I look like someone who would joke with you?”
Even the defense attorney was in a situation where he was reluctant. In the interrogation room, only Lee Ho-won and Jeong Hae-seok are facing each other. Howon Lee takes out the materials he had acquired in advance and shows them.
From car parts found at the accident site to CCTV footage showing that it was incinerated. However, despite looking at them, Jeong Hae-seok’s expression does not change.
“Are you trying to put me in this much?”
“Not only that. Embezzlement, drugs, multiple attempted murders, threats of assault.”
Transgressions are recited one after another like Vienna sausages. Jeong Hae-seok’s brow furrowed as he watched the ants to see how they performed tricks. After all, wouldn’t you feel bad if an ant suddenly showed its teeth at you and bit you?
It was at the moment when Jeong Hae-seok took out a cigarette from his coat, as was his habit, and was about to smoke. Lee Howon grabs the tobacco that was burning at the end and breaks it horizontally.
“No smoking.”
Without hesitation, he takes out a cigarette again. Without fail, it was time for Lee Howon’s finger to point.
Crack.
Jeong Hae-seok’s eyes shine and he holds Lee Howon’s finger. Then, he immediately stands up and hits his cheek harshly with his left palm.
“I feel like I want to punch him, but the place is a place, so it would be better for the prosecutor if it hurts his face. Why are you barking like this when you say you want to smoke a cigarette?”
It was then.
Uddangtangtang.
When Lee Howon pushes the table where he was writing the report and stands up, Jeong Hae-seok accidentally falls backwards. A look of absurdity appears on the face that was smoking a cigarette. I guess I didn’t know that Howon Lee would come out so strongly.
“Right now, all recordings and video recordings have been stopped here. Do whatever you want, President Jeong Hae-seok. However, I will not just sit by and watch any longer.”
“Huh, you bastard.”
This was when Jeong Hae-seok got up from his seat and immediately grabbed Lee Howon’s shoulders. Just as he was about to make a fist with his left hand and throw it at Howon Lee’s abs, Howon Lee’s forehead quickly collided with him first. They are tangled like threads and share fists.
Eventually, the investigator and defense attorney, who heard the commotion outside, hurriedly opened the door and entered. They can’t hide their surprised eyes as they support each other.
“Prosecutor, what the hell is this!”
“Boss, what’s going on!”
Howon Lee thought this was enough. Jeong Hae-seok also doesn’t say anything, as if he has no intention of fighting anymore.
“You better be careful next time.”
As if it were a fun prank, Jeong Hae-seok wipes the blood from the corner of his mouth and leaves. The investigator looks restlessly at prosecutor Howon Lee, but he nods his head briefly as if he is okay.
Today’s provocation was just a prelude to how to capture the person named Jeong Hae-seok. There was only one way for the prosecution to stop the author, who would not stop punching.
Howon Lee himself has no choice but to become bait.
