When I Opened My Eyes I Was a Superstar - Chapter 120
# 120
Identity (3)
Dowook once again spoke the first line.
“What are you looking at, you bird?”
Do-wook, stumbling a little, pushed away Park Hyo-won, who was grabbing him.
It was a movement that was neither too strong nor too effortless.
It was as if he could push someone like you away without using his proper strength, but he seemed to have the power to control it, even though he was half-hearted.
No signal came out of Director Yoon Seong-ah’s mouth. It meant to keep going. Park Hyo-won continued the speech.
“… what? “What did you say to me just now?”
“What are you looking at? “Fuck you.”
“hey. Jeonghwan. “You’re out of your mind right now.”
“no. “Am I fucking sane?”
The gazes of the two anxious people crossed. The camera angle was shaking.
“Fuck you. Hey Kim Jeong-hwan!”
“why! why! why!”
Do-wook, who plays Jeong-hwan, went crazy and screamed. He waved his arm as if he was going to strike Park Hyowon. It was a threatening arm movement.
It was a scene where Jeong-hwan, who was the leader of a violent circle but was just an ordinary friend to Hyo-won, revealed his violence even to Hyo-won.
It was due to subtle jealousy and inferiority complex.
“You asked. Why are you calling me? “You eighteen bastard.”
Do-wook, who was shouting, soon hardened his expression and asked calmly.
Do-wook calmly asked, revealing the whites of his eyes, and a cold feeling overflowed.
Director Yoon Seong-ah’s expression became serious as he looked at the monitor. There was no cut sound for a long time, so Do-wook and Park Hyo-won had to stare at each other for a long time.
Do-wook, who played the role of Jeong-hwan, had a harsh look in his eyes. It felt like a wind of sand was blowing over the desolate dirt road.
Park Hyo-won’s eyes, which contained a bit of embarrassment and a sense of betrayal toward her friend, were also formidable. When those eyes met, a spark seemed to ignite.
The deepening colors of the sunset further conveyed the emotions of the two people.
〈Blue Whale〉 expresses desperate and anxious youth. From the first scene, the acting of the two actors was very intense.
“Cut! okay!”
The two actors, who had not even blinked at the sound of director Yoon Seong-ah’s cut, let out a sigh. Even his breathing was adjusted to suit his acting.
Although it was said that things had eased slightly, there was still tension between the two. Park Hyo-won was the first to relax her shoulders and step out of her role.
“Huh……”
Park Hyo-won let out a long sigh.
Although Park Hyo-won had acted with many prominent actors while filming several independent films, Do-wook had his own energy.
‘Is it because I was young? No, eighteen. ‘I couldn’t do that when I was young.’
Because her opponent acted with such strong energy, Park Hyo-won was able to momentarily become immersed and perform well.
Of course, it was true that Dowook was lacking in skill compared to his senior actors.
There was definitely a lack of experience. If I had a little more experience, the NG that continued yesterday and today wouldn’t have dragged on for this long.
However, Director Yoon Seong-ah did not directly point out the problem to Do-wook. Park Hyo-won was also instructed not to tell anyone what the problem was.
‘I guess you wanted to realize it yourself. And I actually realized it myself. ‘I am a bastard.’
In the scene where the OK was given, Do-wook gave the impression that he was actually playing the role of Jeong-hwan.
Even on the day of the reading, I thought it was perfect, but when we started filming, a problem was revealed. Looking at his movements together, it was revealed that Dowook was ‘acting’ very well.
Jeong-hwan, played by Do-wook, only looked ‘like’ Jeong-hwan and was not ‘Jeong-hwan himself’.
Director Yoon Seong-ah wanted Do-wook to be Jeong-hwan himself, from head to toe, from his eyes to his fingertips.
At some point, Dowook seemed to realize that.
After that, Park Hyo-won no longer thought that the Do-wook standing looking at her was Do-wook. He appeared to be Jeong-hwan, who had no trouble in the world.
Do-wook also came out of the acting and said thank you to the staff for their hard work.
“Now then, let’s quickly move to the next location!”
Director Yoon Seong-ah shouted.
In fact, although director Yoon Seong-ah was greedy, the filming schedule for “Blue Whale” was tighter than other films.
The production cost was also production cost, but it was none other than Dowook’s schedule.
At least 2 weeks and no matter how extended it is, 3 weeks. The position of Hit Entertainment, Do-wook’s agency, was that Do-wook could no longer film after three weeks. It was a condition of filming a movie that did not receive any special guarantees.
Director Yoon Seong-ah fully understood Hit Entertainment’s position. Currently, Do-wook is in a position where he can receive film appearance fees by attending just one or two events at the same time.
The good news is that once director Yoon Seong-ah’s style was established, filming proceeded quickly from then on.
Director Yoon Seong-ah was the first to say that it would take two weeks.
Following Director Yoon Seong-ah’s call, the filming crew, including Do-wook and Park Hyo-won, began to move. The scouting team that had scouted the location was heading to the next filming location one step ahead while organizing the filming equipment.
The next scene was filmed in a dark alley.
“That swing is waiting, right?”
“yes. “Hyeong-cheol, please come to the alley.”
“yep.”
Director Yoon Seong-ah gave instructions to the filming assistant. Hyeong-cheol was a supporting actor in the next scene.
Even as he walked, Dowook was a little dazed.
Since it was an outdoor shoot, there were often people who recognized Do-wook even when walking down the alley next to the filming location.
“It’s Kang Do-wook! Kang Do-wook!”
“Oppa Dowook!”
Once people recognized Do-wook, they began to flock to him.
The filming staff stopped him from getting closer, but they couldn’t stop him from calling Dowook. Even though he could hear a loud voice calling him, Dowook was walking blankly as if he couldn’t hear him.
As if he came to his senses, Dowook belatedly raised his head and looked at the female fans calling out to him.
When Do-wook turned his gaze towards them, the female fans shouted even louder.
“Please just wave your hand!”
“Wow, you’re so handsome!”
Normally, Do-wook would have waved and smiled at his fans without any hesitation.
That level of fan service wasn’t difficult for Dowook. However, for some reason, Dowook found it difficult to smile at his fans.
It was because I was too immersed in my role.
The next filming was scheduled right away. As much as I was immersed, I didn’t want to break the immersion.
No, actually, it wasn’t that I didn’t want to break the immersion.
Do-wook had already become Jeong-hwan himself. I didn’t have enough space in my heart to make someone smile.
Dowook bowed his head and greeted the fans who called out to him.
Dowook’s expression as he greeted him was very blunt.
If you were a fan who was well aware of Dowook’s treatment of his fans, it was a response that would have immediately noticed something abnormal.
But fortunately, they were just people passing by. I thought he might not answer because he was filming.
Therefore, rather than feeling cold, they were just satisfied that Do-wook, a star, looked at them and nodded, and they waved at Do-wook and liked it.
***
“hello.”
“Oh yeah, I’m here. Kang actor! “I’ll drink well today.”
“Hello, hello!”
“Welcome, Actor Yeo Kang!”
The sound of Do-wook greeting the staff upon arriving at the filming location echoed here and there.
It was the first thing Do-wook did when he arrived on set. Of course, other actors also said hello, but the reality was that the entire greeting was done loudly to announce that they had arrived.
However, Do-wook visited every corner of the filming set and bowed to the staff members who were working as hard as him.
Since there were only one or two staff members, it took quite a while just to say hello. Nevertheless, Dowook came earlier than scheduled and did not forget to say hello even though it was already his fourth time filming.
“They said I had a good personality, but it’s true… I thought it would be a rip-off because I succeeded early.”
“I heard it’s famous over there.”
“It could be a pretense.”
“If the youngest’s pretense is that bad, he’s just being honest. Why are you complaining again!”
The lighting staff greeted them and nodded as they watched Do-wook talking to Director Yoon.
“Let’s install it quickly. The actor also came!”
“yep.”
The remaining two people responded to the lighting director’s shout and started moving in unison.
The reason the staff paid attention to Dowook today was no different.
Dowook’s fans rented a coffee truck for Dowook and the filming team and placed it at the filming site. It was only a coffee truck, not a food truck, but it was an extremely unfamiliar culture to the staff who worked on art films.
It was a sight that would make your eyes widen.
A large banner of Dowook was hung on the truck, and a hired barista, coffee machine, beverage refrigerator, etc. were always on standby to provide drinks at any time throughout the day while filming was taking place in a rented school.
‘Please take good care of actor Kang Do-wook!’
‘Praying for Blue Whale’s success’
‘Our Jeonghwan… is actually a good kid. Please look at it kindly ㅠㅠ’
‘Junghwan! ‘Gently, gently!’
Everything from cliché comments to clever phrases from fans who heard about Do-wook’s role were hanging here and there on the truck.
Dowook couldn’t help but feel proud when he saw the coffee truck that arrived at the filming site.
It’s been a while since I’ve left a message on the cafe as I haven’t been active in KK these days and I’ve been busy filming, but today I thought I should post a thank you note along with a proof shot.
“Thanks to you, I don’t have to worry about drinking today.”
Director Yoon Seong-ah said with a bright smile.
“haha. “It’s all thanks to the fans.”
“I didn’t even know he was popular since he always wears his school uniform like this… After all, it’s Kang Do-wook.”
When Do-wook scratched his head and answered humbly, the cinematographer patted his shoulder and gave Do-wook a thumbs up.
“Such a kind and gentle person. “As soon as you start filming, your eyes change…”
Do-wook pricked up his ears as the cinematographer spoke about his acting.
Recently, Do-wook only thought about ‘movie’ movies. How can I act better? That was all I could think.
It was thanks to meeting a good script, director, and actors. Dowook’s passion was burning brightly like an unquenched campfire.
“You were really surprised. These days, I’m worried that Park Hyo-won will stab me if I start filming like this.”
“I’m surprised to hear Park Hyo-won. thing.”
When Park Hyo-won, who suddenly appeared from behind, answered, the cinematographer clutched his chest as if he was surprised.
“Haha no. Then, let’s get ready for that photoshoot.”
Dowook said hello and approached the makeup team.
Park Hyo-won, who was frowning as Do-wook went to the makeup team, said to director Yoon Seong-ah.
“But isn’t that really how you catch a child?”
“Hmm…”
Director Yoon Seong-ah also seemed to have a lot to think about after hearing Park Hyo-won’s words.
“It’s definitely a bit excessive, right?”
“yes. It’s too much. Can’t you tell by the way my expression has changed? “I’m sure the color of your eyes will improve soon.”
“He’s still a rookie….”
“Even established actors sometimes make mistakes, so how can he endure it? The bigger your nature is, the bigger it will be. “The fall.”
“That’s right. “It looks like he’s thinking about it too… Let’s wait and see.”
“what.”
Park Hyo-won nodded for now. What Park Hyo-won was worried about was nothing else. Dowook was currently experiencing confusion due to excessive immersion.
Filming began soon.
Today was the day to film the scene where Jung-hwan, who exploded, inflicts violence on Hyo-won, who was left alone in the classroom.
As the slate was laid down and the scene of violence began, Dowook’s mood became scary. And then he started kicking Park Hyowon.
Of course, because it was a coordinated scene, it did not inflict pain on Park Hyo-won like real violence would. But it was very real. Park Hyo-won felt like he was actually sick because of Do-wook’s expression and atmosphere.
“evil!”
Park Hyo-won screamed loudly and the filming ended.
Dowook, who finished the scene without a single NG, took a deep breath.
“Director.”
Do-wook, who had been walking hurriedly, called out to director Yoon Seong-ah.
