I Will Live As An Actor - Chapter 15

I Will Live as an Actor Episode 15

The more delicate the makeup team’s hand movements were, the more lifeless Park Soo-young’s face gradually became. The area under the eyes was puffy, as if representing a withering flower, and the lips were swollen as if there had been a drought. In reality, Park Soo-young was controlling her weight by controlling her diet. Her plump cheeks show how much effort she put into blending into the role.

“Sister, is this enough?”

“Sohee, the area under your eyes is so dark. Do you think I’m going to die today? I mean, go in a subtle way, like the paint spreading. Also, please take a picture of me today. Next time we film, I’ll go a little darker than this. Please do me a favor.”

German screenwriter Herman.

J.

Manberts said: It is said that it depends on harmony for an actor to assimilate into a character in a script. No matter how good the ingredients are, if the taste doesn’t match, it’s not good to eat. The same goes for roles. Only when the scriptwriter’s intention, the director’s intuition, and the actor’s imagination come together harmoniously can the completeness of the role change. In that respect, Park Soo-young really seemed to be dying day by day. Like Kim Ha-jin’s mother. But there was one problem.

‘I don’t have any emotions.’

In a way, it was natural. Although I learned acting at a theater company for a long time, there was a clear difference between theater acting and broadcast acting. The direction of pursuing mise-en-scène was different, and immersion in the frame and role also had to change accordingly. Rather than repeating a character’s life for about two hours, it should show changes over time. Moreover, because this was her first time playing a dying role, Park Soo-young also had many concerns.

In order to convince not only the viewers but also myself, I had to really live as the character in the script. Maybe that’s why even actors who had a reputation for acting in plays had a hard time breaking down this wall. In that sense, Jang Young-guk was amazing. Although he plays a character completely different from his real life, when the camera turns on, the boy becomes Kim Ha-jin. Finally, Park Soo-young seemed to have made up her mind, picked up the receiver, and pressed the button.

“CEO Kim, I need to come down to Yeongdo for a moment.”

-leading? Could it be because of the CF that got punctured last time? You said that it couldn’t be helped because Son So-min lowered the unit price. If you dump it, you will ruin your morals. Crucially, the company also thought about the product image and decided that Son So-min, who is younger than you, is better.

“When will I talk about that!”

-then? Did you smoke something crazy on set? Didn’t they fight over the director and script like last time? Actor Park I am not ignoring your acting experience, but a director is still a director. I’ve said several times that the sense of calling one must have as a director is different from that of an actor!

“No! I know what kind of Ssamdak I get hit with all the time!”

Park Soo-young’s eyebrows twitched. The makeup team had already left the waiting room. The manager and stylist also left early due to the growing noise.

“That’s not it, the CEO says there’s an actor you need to meet!”

-actor? There are no other adult actors on the Yeongdo filming set right now, right? Could it be that you found someone useful among the minor roles?

“Come down now.”

-right now? I can’t come down this month because I have a busy schedule. Instead, tell Myeongseon to give you a business card. If it’s a short station, I’ll still have plenty of time, so I’ll come up to Seoul and come right away.

“Oh really! Don’t talk nonsense, but somehow make time to come down before the filming ends in Yeongdo!”

Park Soo-young hung up the phone nervously. They said they would bring me a whole pumpkin, but I didn’t even know that. Still, CEO Kim was trustworthy. As an actor, he not only said things that were nice to hear, but he also said harsh things without hesitation. On the other hand, I was also curious. Will he be able to recognize the gemstone among the countless piles of stones?

“Why do you keep following me?”

This was before filming started. However, Yeonsu continued to chase after her. It’s like a duckling chasing its mother. As an only child, I felt like I had a younger sister that I never had before, which was cute but also annoying. Also, the child doesn’t know where to go. Even when going to the bathroom, he sticks his head out and asks where I’m going. At this point, I began to wonder if Yeonsu was the actress I knew in her past life.

“You’re acting like a kite!”

“performance?”

“That’s right, my brother said that. Just look at one side and act like a pine tree standing tall! That’s why you want to become Son Ye-rin! Son Ye-rin likes Kim Ha-jin….” “

Huh.”

Dangdolta.

I didn’t advise him to do this, but he was a child with a superior ability to absorb anything. As Yeonsu does not leave my side, the film crew even smiles as they pass by. Isn’t Yeonsu’s mother also looking at this with satisfaction? This is it.

“Aren’t you hungry?”

“I ate breakfast, but…”

“If you eat this and your stomach is empty, you won’t be able to act properly.”

Isn’t this the age when you’re in your prime? A child is hungry even if he or she eats three meals a day. He took out a boiled potato that he had brought for the minor characters and handed it to him. Yeonsu took a bite of the boiled potato and opened her eyes brightly.

“delicious?”

“My first time eating such delicious potatoes!”

I can’t believe you take what others give you so eagerly. I thought there was a lack of vigilance, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. I asked him if he could, and he said,

‘I’m just eating what my brother gave me. I don’t normally eat anything outside!’

I even answered that. by the way.

“It’s a hit.”

I don’t know if the boiled potatoes were really delicious or because he kept looking at me while eating them, but there were a lot of potato crumbs around his mouth. As I carefully brushed it off with my fingers, Yeonsu’s eyes grew as big as a flower lantern. At that moment, Park Soo-young appeared at the filming site.

‘The water has risen.’

I was able to recognize Park Soo-young immediately when I saw him. Didn’t your past life run all over the place, regardless of whether it was a drama or a movie? Acting is a profession that is always exploratory. You have to put your spirit into your art, and your soul is put into every action and voice. This doesn’t matter whether it’s a minor role, a supporting role, or a lead role.

Just like a sponge absorbs water, you have to attract the role and persuade the viewers beyond the picture tube. I am this person. The more your desire for acting grows, the more you grow into an experienced actor. In that respect, Park Soo-young was polishing himself both externally and internally. He will grow so much that he will become the Park Soo-young I knew in his past life.

‘What you looking at?’

It seemed like he was saying that when he made eye contact with Park Soo-young. I was still picky, but I didn’t hate it. Because I know that she is also an actress with a thirst for acting. Moreover, perhaps because of what happened at Jeoksan House last time, Park Soo-young sometimes even gave me an apologetic look. It was then.

Park Soo-young came closer and looked at me and Yeon-soo and snorted.

“Are you guys dating?”

* * *

The filming site is a series of communication. The director and the people in charge of each part were in a position where they could not help but clash with each other, and this was especially true in the case of the cinematographer. Moreover, if there was a difference in experience, there were often cases where voices became louder, like now.

“Senior! Please listen to what I say! I agree with using a double. But if you do that, the mise-en-scène won’t work. In a way, it’s a scene that needs to contain emotion, but if it goes on like this, it becomes nothing.”

“Director Yoo! Are you the only artist? I’ve been working with an ENG (camera) for several years already. It’s not that I don’t know your feelings, but there’s no other way. I’ll just put in a child actor instead of using a double. It’ll be a shame if that camera accident happens! In times like this, the only option is to correct it!”

“Can’t we think about it a little more? Or should we consider changing the filming location to a safer location?”

“Oh my! That’s right! Ikada is going to threaten me before we even start filming! It’s true that as a director, you have to do as you want, but as the old saying goes, you have to knock on a stone bridge before you can cross it. There is no way to do this scene even if you knock in all directions. Otherwise. Let’s not go with one bar (1SB/S) and go with full shot (F/S)!”

“That’s not possible!”

It may have felt like an officer and a non-commissioned officer, but from the perspective of a cinematographer who had experienced many hardships in the field, the director’s (producer’s) words must have felt like stubbornness. Due to the commotion at the filming site, Yeonsu hides behind me and pulls on my clothes.

“Don’t worry, we’re not fighting.”

Anyway, even if we fight and fight on set, the moment the filming ends, there is no end to it. They both know it. It’s because we were both so absorbed in filming. The reason the two people raised their voices was simple.

‘It’s a scene where you jump into the sea.’

This is the scene where young Kim Ha-jin jumps into the sea under a low cliff. Since it was a time when it was difficult to make a living, wouldn’t we have gone out to play in the sea and mountains? In the mountains, they gather honey from azalea flowers and eat it, and in the sea, they catch minnows. by the way.

‘I’ve been here often.’

In my past life, it was a place I often went to play after skipping school. I never would have guessed that this was chosen as the filming location. Although there were cliffs, it was so shallow that the name was meaningless, so it wasn’t that dangerous. In fact, it would have been better to say it was a hill. In fact, I often jumped in and played.

Because I was born as the child of a sailor, the sea was like a father who was sometimes strict but always kind. It’s the same here too. Because of the geographical features, the depth of the water is good and the current is weak, as if being embraced by my father’s thick arms. That’s probably why I visited it so often in my past life. This place was the time when I soothed my longing for my father.

“It’s a substitute role.”

Famous didn’t know why he was worried. When a stuntman is used in place of a child actor, a female adult is usually used as a stand-in, taking into account body type. However, just as distortion occurs in a painting, slight deformation was bound to occur. Sharp-eyed viewers will immediately notice that it is a double, and the visual beauty will not be appreciated. Moreover, isn’t this an old system that hasn’t yet been fully corrected? It was natural for a famous person to be so worried.

“Oppa, what are you doing?”

When I took off my shoes and shirt, Yeonsu was startled and covered her eyes. If you’re going to cover it up, you can cover it up. You can’t see it while shining your bright eyes between your fingers. Yoo Myeong and the cinematographer were still raising their voices. There was nothing we could do. In this case, there was only one way to end their conflict. With full breath.

“Look at me!”

As I shouted, the attention of the filming site was focused. Yoo Myung looked at me in confusion, and the experienced cinematographer opened his eyes wide, wondering if it could be possible. I tried to stop him, but it was already too late.

Pot!

I kicked my feet and ran towards the low cliff. Rather than being scary because it was as high as a hill, it was even fun because it brought back memories of my childhood. As the body floats in the air, the blue sea water is visible.

Finally, plop!

As I fell into the water with a sound, I heard startled voices from people on the hill. However, the water was as peaceful as the memories of a past life. Fish swimming in the sea are startled by the sudden appearance of an object and run away, making a shortcut. It reminded me of my childhood. At that time, I really liked splashing in the water.

“Pooh—!”

When I put my face above the water and sprayed water, I saw people gesticulating on the hill. Not only the famous person, but even the cinematographer was embarrassed but could not hide his sigh of relief. She looks like young Kim Ha-jin.

“The water tastes really good! I don’t think I should give it a try on a hot day like today!”

He answered in an angry voice. Why did you jump into the sea water? Isn’t it natural? It was the director’s job to manage the noise at the filming site, but it was the actor’s job to create the atmosphere. I especially liked the slightly salty taste of the water. Just like back in my childhood.
