I Will Live As An Actor - Chapter 178

I Will Live as an Actor Episode 178

“Reporter Park, is he already home from work?”

Although my job as a reporter allowed me to commute freely, it was still too early to leave work. Seongbae Park shook his head as he packed his bags.

“I’m going on a business trip.”

“What business trip? “Where did you get the source from?”

A fellow reporter pricks up his ears.

Not surprisingly, the entertainment weekly magazine they belonged to was popular for its so-called private lives of celebrities.

From behind-the-scenes stories at filming sites to celebrity scandals.

“There are cases where chefs reveal their recipes. If there are any cases after returning from a business trip, I will take care of them separately. Senior Kim speaks kindly to the editor-in-chief. “I’ve been on a lot of business trips these days, so the editor-in-chief wouldn’t approve if I told him.”

“Are you hitting on me now that you have a bit of experience?”

“I’ll ask you something separately. This one is pretty big too.”

“Really?”

Park Seong-bae nodded briefly and quickly left the editorial office. He hurriedly started the car and headed toward the highway. The destination he was heading to was none other than Busan.

-Are you really sure about this?

-That’s right. Well. Reporter Park. When was my information wrong? This is 99% certain. I heard that Jang Young-guk and Yeon-soo are in a relationship like that. If Reporter Park moves slowly and snatches it from the other side first, I don’t know.

He couldn’t decide if the information he heard from his informant was still solid. After all, weren’t Jang Young-guk and Yeon-soo two of the best young stars in Korea?

In particular, Jang Young-guk was a person who received many love calls from the overseas film industry. If the scandal between the two was true, it was the scoop of scoops.

‘First of all, we are going to Busan, but how are we going to capture him..?’

I had to take a picture that I couldn’t remove or remove. Because it was near the filming site, there was a high probability that scenes of holding hands or talking to each other would not be recognized.

Of course, all these conditions were only possible if the information was truthful.

If the two people were not in a relationship but just a normal colleague relationship, all of this would have been in vain.

Park Seong-bae looked at his camera located in the passenger seat and spoke as if praying.

“Please marry me!”

The Mermaid Prince.

It is no exaggeration to say that the formula for a drama’s success lies in the response from the first episode.

This is especially true for works that attracted public attention even before the main broadcast began, such as The Little Mermaid.

If the viewers’ needs are not met from the first episode, the disappointment will be as great as the high expectations.

“Let’s get started soon!”

Everyone from the filming site gathered at the meat restaurant. For today, I wanted to watch the live broadcast without staying up all night.

The assistant director’s voice draws everyone’s attention to the large screen set up in the restaurant.

Eventually, as the commercial ends, a pure white light emerges.

Episode 1 started with training. In addition to her extravagant attire, the intellectual appearance she displayed when conversing with others truly reflected the style of a woman from a wealthy family.

It was a story about the only daughter of a chaebol family becoming the president of a hotel in Busan, one of its affiliates.

-Thank you for your teachings, Executive Director Park. But don’t you think it’s presumptuous?

When you think of Yeonsu’s usual appearance, he seemed like a completely different person than you can imagine, as he harshly scolded the executive director who was trying to teach him, who was relatively young.

In the drama, Yeonsu was perfectly portraying the role of Han Myo-jeong.

Among them, the line spoken while touching the shoulder of a guest who was sexually harassing a female hotel employee was the highlight.

-Is it okay for a customer to massage a female employee’s butt like that in broad daylight? Don’t you know that you can be punished for sexual harassment?

-What punishment!? When did I sexually harass you? Is it okay to just compliment someone like a daughter when the customer is king? yes?

-I see you are massaging your daughter’s butt like that too, right? And crucially, if you are the king, I am the emperor. Director Park: Call the police and a lawyer right away! And don’t let this old pervert get away!

Yeonsu, who was sitting on one side of the restaurant, looked embarrassed, as if she didn’t have the confidence to look at her own performance.

However, due to Han Myo-jeong’s exhilarating performance on screen, there is no sign of the exclamation and laughter at the restaurant ending.

* * *

It was after the main broadcast ended. It would be no exaggeration to say that the beginning of episode 1 was truly Yeonsu’s solo performance.

It served as a symbol of the character by showing Myojeong’s honest, confident personality and unique charm.

Also, the sight of the mermaid prince Lee Soo (England) washed up on the shore at the end of episode 1 inevitably made viewers long for the next episode.

with a splash.

The sound of waves can be heard softly. The two people left the noisy restaurant and walked to the quiet dockside.

Because it was already late and dusk had fallen, no one was visible to recognize the faces of the two people. It was none other than Yeonsu who spoke first.

“Oppa, how was today’s broadcast?”

As an actor who appeared with him, he seemed curious. After all, the feeling of the video watched through monitoring and the live broadcast watched through a cathode ray tube are completely different.

“It was good. I thought you did a good job recommending Yeonsu.”

“Okay, thank you for recommending it. “But you do know that I am older than you in terms of acting experience, right?”

Since he couldn’t tell him about his past life experiences, England only laughed briefly.

Several years have passed since I first met Yeonsu. It made me realize how much time had passed since the little girl who was a snivellary had grown so much taller.

“To be honest, I think I was able to continue my career as an actor because of the advice my brother gave me back then.”

“advice?”

“The pine tree, that’s what my brother said back then. They say that there is no need to be tied down to the script, and if you keep acting like a sturdy pine tree, one day the script will become yours. “How come you don’t remember?”

I think he said something like that.

When you live as an actor, you are bound to encounter various turning points. From the feeling of emptiness from friendships to skepticism about acting.

Haven’t I already experienced everything about England in my past life? So, while working as an actor, I gave advice to many people. Training was one of them.

“Are you going to Hong Kong next week?”

“I guess it’s going to be released in theaters first in Hong Kong, so even though I’m the lead, I have to at least show my face. That’s it. I feel so sorry to the filming team and you for no reason. “You’ve been staying up all night because of me.”

“What is there to be sorry about? It can’t be helped. And the producer was hoping that he would benefit from your brother in relation to exporting copyrights?”

It was the UK that started the Korean Wave in Japan thanks to the past drama Youth. As this is a drama that returns after a long time, there was great interest from overseas as well.

In particular, it is said that in Japan they are already in contact with the MBS drama department. If ‘Chupungsa’, which is released in Hong Kong, is a box office success, it will be possible to export it to China.

Two people were sitting on a bench under the light of a street lamp, holding beer cans. The cool sea breeze and the feast of fishing lanterns used to catch squid are a feast for the eyes. It was then.

“Kya!”

Isn’t it the Gaetbanggu that was crawling on the breakwater that crawled up to Yeonsu’s leg? Because of this, Yeonsu was startled, dropped the beer can and clung to England. The UK quickly cleared away the mudflats. It was then.

Rather.

“uh?”

England tilted his head and looked around. I definitely thought I heard something, but I couldn’t see anything around me.

* * *

“I really have to go this time, but since I became the manager, the work has doubled… Ugh.”

Lee Bong-chun, who was behind the wheel, licked his lips with regret. It seems to remind me of Hong Kong dim sum.

“Jeongbong, you should go to Hong Kong and not be distracted. Britain should protect you well. Okay!”

“Yes, Chief!”

In the passenger seat was the road manager with whom I would be staying in Hong Kong. Fortunately, he was a talented person who could speak Cantonese and English freely.

Lee Bong-chun, who was behind the wheel, was already giving a long speech.

From what food Britain likes to the values a road manager should have.

At the same time, the road manager sitting in the passenger seat is taking out a notebook and taking notes.

Looking at the scenery unfolding outside the car window, England recalled the conversation he had with Yeonsu last night.

-What kind of actor do you want to be in the future?

I couldn’t easily answer the question of what kind of actor I wanted to be. In my past life, I would have said without a moment of hesitation that I wanted to become an actor who sees the end of his acting.

But isn’t life so happy now?

After much thought, England said just one word.

-Someday, when I look at my life, I hope I have no regrets, either professionally or personally.

-so?

-So I’m going to try everything I want to do. I want to become an actor with no regrets.

I wanted to minimize the possibility that the word regret could not exist in life. Because I never wanted to hurt or make things difficult for the people around me again.

The same goes for acting. Didn’t you promise yourself that you would do your best no matter what role you took on?

“uh? Manager? Are there usually this many people at the airport?”

At that moment, the van was approaching the airport. The road manager sitting in the passenger seat was wide-eyed at the scenery outside. The same goes for Lee Bong-chun, who is sitting in the driver’s seat.

Usually, when England was leaving the country, many fans and reporters came to visit, but not to this extent. Aren’t there a lot of reporters lining up in a long line as if they are going to play for the national team in the World Cup?

“Actually, as I received the call yesterday, they said it would only come out as much as usual.”

It was then.

Lee Bong-chun’s thick cell phone began to ring. Lee Bong-chun’s expression changes colorfully every moment after receiving the phone call. Then, it immediately took a U-turn, leaving the UK and the road manager dumbfounded.

After hanging up the phone, Bongchun Lee glanced at the rearview mirror and said with a serious expression.

“England, there is still time before departure. “Let’s talk for a moment and then go in.”

“Hyung, what’s going on?”

After leaving the airport, Lee Bong-chun parked his car on the shoulder of a quiet road.

Then he turns his head to look at England, and his eyes are quite unusual.

“England, are you really dating these days?”

What kind of ghost-forgetting noise is this?

“It’s not entertainment, it’s dating? Where do I have time for dating? “I was on my way to my schedule again today for the vigil to meet.”

Lee Bong-chun scratches his head and makes a puzzled expression.

“right? Ah, I think so too. this… … .”

“What’s going on?”

“The picture was taken Ancana. It seems like all the reporters have already gathered after hearing the news. “I was offered an initial agreement with my agency, but it was so ridiculous that the CEO told me to check the facts first.”

Most scandals are like that. Before revealing to the public any scandalous photos taken by paparazzi in entertainment magazines or weekly magazines, an agreement is first reached with the agency.

If the terms of the agreement are not met, the process of making it known to the public will be taken.

But what photo are you talking about?

At that moment, Lee Bong-chun looks at England and elaborates.

“It’s a picture of you and Yeonsu hugging each other.”
