I Will Live As An Actor - Chapter 98

I will live as an actor Episode 98

: South Port.

A cruise ship creates undulating waves under the drawbridge. The scattered white waves are as pleasing to the eye as snowflakes. Like waves rolling over the winter sea, Namhang Market is also rocking with untimely good news.

“It’s a little crooked. Don’t do that, just move it to the right. No, not in writing, just to the right! Just raise it to the right!”

“Mr. Choi, even if you fall into the sea, your mouth will float. This banner may look light, but it is extremely heavy. In my opinion, it is perfectly aligned with the pavilion, but something doesn’t suit you, so you keep changing the location. What you are doing now is a piece of shit. “I’m training a child!”

“Training a mutt has to be done well. My hands and feet don’t work well, so I’ll give it a try. Don’t hesitate and come down. I didn’t even eat breakfast, so why am I so weak? I’ll give it a try!”

Merchants at Namhang Market are working hard to put up banners starting early in the morning. The banner is placed in a convenient spot, similar to a signboard at the entrance to the market. The faces of the merchants are infinitely red as they look at the banners fluttering in the winter wind. Rather than my face turning red due to the cold wave, my heart probably got hot because of the words written on the banner.

-Jang Young-guk, the son of Namhang! Received a perfect score on the math proficiency test!

This is a child who grew up constantly exposed to the strong accents of sailors and the sea breeze. In the maze-like maze of the market, he pulled the ice maker’s wheelbarrow with fern-like hands to move ice, and he and his mother even sold fish while setting up a stall.

In a way, isn’t he a child whom all the merchants of Namhang cherished and cared for as if they were their own children?

“I’m literally in tears. It’s heartbreaking to think that that little guy must have been different and different among people in Seoul when he came to Seoul. But he’s still good at studying, so I’m glad he did.”

“Mr. Choi, if the fruit vendor cries like that, all the sweet juice from the fruit will be lost. Isn’t that just you? It’s the same for us. No matter what, it’s going well, so it can’t be this good. Isn’t it?”

All the merchants have tears in their eyes as they look at the waving banners. The Namhang market is experiencing an untimely boom. Even though it is not a holiday season, tourists from far away are flocking here. The reason was simple.

“Is this the fish shop that Jang Young-guk’s mother runs?”

Even at first glance, she is a young woman with a Seoul accent. Lady Yang narrows her eyes and looks at the woman. How many people came and went in the morning. There were numerous tourists as well as broadcasters. It all started when a rumor began to circulate that the secret to England’s CSAT scores was thanks to the marine products from South Port.

Because of this, the fish delivered from the fish market has already sold out. Marine products, including seasonal seaweed, were running out. The rumor is that even parents from Gangnam School District 8 are chartering buses to come down as a group to get some energy. At that time, England’s mother greets her young wife with a puzzled look.

“How did you get here?”

At that moment, the young wife and daughter handed me a business card from their coat. It is a business card with the name of a media company written on it. Ms. Yang and her mother take turns looking at the business card.

“My name is Kim Sun-ah, the editor-in-chief of Dongseon Magazine. I was just wondering if I could interview Jang Young-guk’s mother.”

Haven’t so many reporters already visited that you can’t even count on your fingers? But this time it’s a magazine company. Lady Yang steps forward on behalf of England’s troubled mother.

“Are you coming from the magazine?”

In response to that question, editor-in-chief Kim Seon-a smiles and elaborates.

“Our magazine theme this month is Great Mothers.”

The repercussions of getting a perfect score on the Scholastic Ability Test were greater than expected. How amazing is it that he was the only one to score a perfect score in the entrance exam, which is known to be impossible. Moreover, the person in question is a new actor called a teen star. Not only the public’s attention, but also the media’s interest is bound to be strong.

Wasn’t it like that when I went to school in the morning? Even though it was school start time, there seemed to be more reporters than students. Judging from the fact that there were ENG cameras rolling, it seemed like filming was also done on terrestrial television.

-This is Jang Young-guk!

If someone who didn’t know them saw it, they would have suspected it was an end-of-year awards ceremony. That’s how many reporters rushed to England. Manager Lee Bong-chun tried to protect England somehow, but even that was not easy. It was then.

‘I survived thanks to the principal.’

Had he not been careful, he would have been crushed to death by reporters’ questions. At that moment, the principal blocked the reporters’ path. It was the first time I had seen the principal, who usually smiled like a kind-hearted grandfather, get so angry.

-Everyone, please calm down for a moment. If you would like to interview Youngguk, the pride of our Sehwa High School, please follow the correct procedures. It is now time for students to go to school. How can you put such a burden on other students?

Did you watch a historical drama last night? Didn’t he surprise reporters with his loud vocalizations? Thanks to the ENG camera rolling, it didn’t feel awkward even if it was a scene from a drama shoot.

“England, are you ready?”

Since I received a perfect score on the academic ability test, the interview was also a courtesy. After all, every year after the college entrance exam, doesn’t an interview with the highest scorer appear on the front page of the media? The principal willingly offered up his office for a convenient interview. Soon, a young reporter comes in along with the homeroom teacher.

“Hello, I’m Kim Seung-ah, a reporter at Kooksun Ilbo. It’s a real honor to meet Jang Young-guk. In fact, I’m a huge fan of Jang Young-guk. Originally, I asked the director that I wanted to be on the current affairs team.”

Know.

In fact, the reason why Britain chose Kim Seung-ah as the interviewer was simple. Ever since the name became known, England’s name has been frequently mentioned in the media. Among them, there were some articles that disparaged Britain.

From being said to have chosen to undergo an excessive acting transformation in the name of arrogance, to a reporter spreading ridiculous and scandalous rumors. Of course, after the movie was successful and the scandal was denied, the articles disappeared like lies. Among them, Kim Seung-ah was one of the reporters famous for writing articles favorable to Britain.

“Mr. England, is it true that you have never received a private education?”

This is a known fact. Of course, there were some people who did not believe it. Getting a perfect score on the CSAT itself would have been like a miracle without receiving private education.

“What are your usual study habits?”

This is England, where many people with perfect scores on the Scholastic Ability Test will later create famous sayings.

“I studied mainly from textbooks and school classes.”

“Did you run out of time while taking the test?”

“It wasn’t really lacking. In fact, I had time left over to the point where I was wondering if I had solved it correctly.”

There are also many questions about the day of the Scholastic Ability Test. Starting with whether you really thought you would get a perfect score while taking the test, how did you feel after the provisional score?

To be honest, all I could say was that I was dumbfounded. I didn’t expect to get a perfect score when taking the test, and even after scoring the provisional score, I wasn’t sure. Many questions keep coming back and forth. Among them, the question about career path is the most important.

“Didn’t you get a perfect score on the Scholastic Ability Test? Thanks to this, you can get into any university as it is called a free ticket in the Korean entrance exam. I’m curious about which university and which department you will decide on. Can you tell me about this?”

A few days later.

MBS Drama Department.

A long time. How many times have you been to the three major broadcasting stations in your past life? As I moved from supporting role to role, the number of roles I played was countless. In the case of publicly recruited talent, there was a clause preventing them from appearing on other broadcasting stations if they were tied to one broadcasting company, but the case in the UK was different.

After all, I failed the public talent test every time. However, thanks to you, I was able to experience all three world wars, so it may have been a good thing in the end.

“Isn’t it Jang Young-guk..?”

As one of the youngest producers said to himself, the eyes of the producers in the drama department suddenly widened. After all, isn’t he the hottest star in Korea right now? What’s worse is that his face even appeared on the 9 o’clock news. At that moment, there is a person who welcomes England. This is a famous producer.

“England!”

Mid-level PDs cast sharp glances at the famous PD who calls England’s name in a friendly manner. Even though their careers were different from theirs, in some ways, they were the strongest candidates for CP. But do they know? Among them, the first person to hold the position of Director of Drama is none other than Famous.

“Would you like some orange juice like in the old days?”

“Yes please.”

As I sit in the meeting room, old memories come flooding back. When you were filming Man in August, didn’t you visit the Prince Hotel for a script reading? Not long after, writer Choi Eun-sook enters the meeting room. As soon as she sees England, she exclaims with pride.

“Perfect score on the college entrance exam! Jang Young-guk!”

“You look unfamiliar, author.”

“What’s there to be shy about? How amazing is it? There’s something about England surprising people just by looking at you because you got a perfect score. You’re going to surprise me at the script reading today too, right?”

It’s the same as a solo script reading. From MBS broadcasting station’s perspective, it was necessary to conduct a preliminary investigation as it was produced with a huge amount of funds. Moreover, wasn’t the appearance fee calculated to be the highest ever for all three broadcasting companies? As proof, there is a camera running in the meeting room. As if recording this entire situation and showing it to someone.

“How much time will it take?”

This is a collection of scripts that I have already read once.

“Let’s get started right away. However, I need someone to receive the lines, so can Writer Choi accept them like before?”

“It’s an honor for me. Now, there are so many actors in England who would like to receive a line. I’ll get the line well this time too.”

“Writer Choi used to say that before, and he still calls me his older sister. If you look at the face value, he’s my aunt.”

“What are you talking about? Instead, quickly choose the beginning. Where do you want me to start in the script?”

Yoo Myung is slightly worried about Choi Eun-sook’s support. The script was already halfway through. Since this was a video that I had to show directly to the CEO, I was worried about which scene to choose. It was then. Britain, leaving behind its worries, is the first to get lucky.

“Don’t do that, writer Choi, recite the lines first. I think my lines will come out more naturally that way.”

That’s great confidence. Isn’t it an exaggeration to say that I have memorized every line in the script book? I knew right away how great Britain’s memorization ability was, but I wondered if it was possible. Choi Eun-sook also has the same expression. She recites the line with a hint of doubt.

“Your Majesty, why are you interested in such a lowly creature? If you want to reach Gyeonghoeru by Sulsi, you will have to hurry up now.”

Yeonsangun went out to observe the lives of the people. Aren’t you inspecting a private house while taking off your royal clothes? Next to him, his guard is walking with him. At that moment, what caught Yeonsangun’s eyes was none other than a sick and dying dog. And next to the stray dog, a small puppy that appears to be a pup can be seen.

“Do you know how my mother died? Everyone told me that, and I’ve been hearing it all over my ears since I was little. My mother, Queen Yun, died after suffering from an illness.”

At that moment, Yeonsangun strokes the bedside of the dying dog. Then, the cub who was watching from the side bites Yeonsangun’s hand. Seeing this, the military officer immediately tried to take the knife out of the scabbard.

“The Ungeom has become such a weak beast. How can it do anything when it makes all the effort to protect its mother? When the queen was kicked out and everyone was silent, did you, who also serves as a private, remain silent about my mother’s death? Probably so. . I was like that too. Even though I knew about my mother’s death, I pretended not to know. I had to pretend not to know that my mother died while vomiting blood. Isn’t that natural? “Because back then, when I was the crown prince, I was worse than this little beast that was trying to protect my mother.”

“Your Highness.”

“Don’t worry, I’m

not this weak anymore.” At that moment, Yeonsangun, no, England, with reddened eyes. He raises his head and smiles faintly as the wind blows in.

“A wind of blood is blowing.”
