I Will Live As An Actor

I Will Live as an Actor Episode 145

[The shooting scene is hot. The Outlaw, directed by director Baek Jang-hoon, known as the master of Chungmuro, tells the story of court power in the city. In particular, it became a hot topic recently when it was announced that actor Jang Young-guk, who played the two Yeonsanguns, would play the villain. Let’s take a look at the scene!]

The reporter’s voice echoes through the cathode ray tube. As her excited voice speaks for itself, the filming site goes by in a hurry. The staff is busy moving around and the actors are checking their movements again while receiving instructions from the director. When a brief break was given, the reporter quickly turned to the two outlaw actors as if he had been waiting.

[Actress Son Hwa-won and Jang Young-guk!]

They are two completely different actors, as if they are black and white. Compared to Son Hwa-won, who is dressed plainly, Jang Young-guk looks as if his entire body is draped in luxury goods. But it never looks exaggerated. The luxurious feel is as natural as the original. The sight of him briefly smiling at the camera really shows why the public wants him.

“Wow.”

Jisoo Kim, who was looking at the cathode ray tube, clenched her fists. Jisoo’s father, the owner of a side dish store, and England’s mother are also staring at the cathode ray tube instead of eating dinner. Since when did it start? It became a daily routine for the three of us to gather together for dinner.

“Oppa, you’re really cool.”

Jisoo looks at England in the picture tube with admiration. What can I say, the atmosphere is somewhat different from usual. If England usually gave off a friendly impression, it is now overflowing with cuteness. It’s not for nothing that they say clothes are wings.

“When England looks at me like that, I feel like a different person. Really.”

Mr. Kim also swallowed his saliva and said. I knew he was a famous actor through awards ceremonies, but seeing him like this made me feel special. I felt like I was living in another world. England’s mother also slowly opens her eyes as she watches the scene.

‘Is this the Guk I knew?’

Isn’t the atmosphere sharply different from usual? The sketch video of the filming site that followed soon made it impossible to keep my mouth shut. Although it was a short video, it showed the filming site as it was, and the acting of England, who played the role of Jeong Hae-seok, was so captivating that it made my mouth burn. Finally, when the scene changes, Jisoo lets out the breath she had been holding and exclaims in admiration.

“Ma’am, I think this movie will be a hit.”

Although it was only a short trailer, Jisoo’s heart already seemed excited. On the other hand, the British mother is more concerned about her son’s thin face. How difficult was the filming to get so skinny? Even if others didn’t know, my mother knew. It was then.

“Why don’t we go up to Seoul instead?”

Mr. Kim speaks as if he could read his mother’s thoughts.

“Are you filming a commercial?”

England, who visited Songwon Entertainment, looked puzzled by the unexpected news. That’s right, it’s been a really long time since I’ve seen an ad.

“You haven’t come in for a while, have you?”

CEO Seonghwan Kim shook his head and answered.

“It’s not that you didn’t come in, it was cut out of my line. Because England knew that you were reluctant to film advertisements while filming. Moreover, after filming the Yeonsan drama the other day, the stock price went up even more. Advertisers were very upset.”

“Because of the image of the role I played this time, I didn’t even think about advertisements…”

“If there weren’t going to be advertisements just because I was a villain, they wouldn’t have been in advertisements since Confession of a Priest.”

“is it.”

The character Kim Moo-jin, who played in Confession of a Priest, was a murderer, but he still had faith. Therefore, many advertisers took it as a positive signal. However, the role of Jeong Hae-seok, an outlaw played this time, was quite unexpected as it was literally Ahn Ha-muin’s typical second-generation chaebol character.

“There’s no fuss right now because of the entertainment program that aired yesterday.”

Ah, that interview.

“It’s only been a short sketch of the filming location, but I’ve already been contacted by more than one or two people. And the luxury goods you wore when filming the interview in England are already sold out not only in stores but also in editorial shops.”

her.

This cannot be surprising. I just went to the interview wearing the same outfit that Jeong Hae-seok was wearing in the script, and it was sold out.

“Since the filming period is long enough and there are days off in between, I thought it would be a good idea to take some time and film a commercial. It’s been quite a while since the UK hasn’t filmed a commercial for you. But that doesn’t mean you have to appear on a variety show. How about that? ?”

Hmm.

It was a life far removed from advertising. The same goes for entertainment. Wasn’t he reluctant to appear on the show because he didn’t have the ability to speak or speak well? At that time, CEO Seonghwan Kim took a forward stance and continued speaking.

“England, if it were me, I wouldn’t have even mentioned it to you, but this time the conditions are so good. And there doesn’t seem to be any embarrassing settings like last time.”

“What advertisement is this?”

I thought that all actors had to compete with their acting skills. However, from the perspective of Kim Seong-hwan, the CEO of the agency, it is different. Pumpkins are rolling in on vines all year round, so I can’t just kick them away. Moreover, the advertising items offered this time are quite desirable.

“suit.”

Suits are a theme that has been advertised several times. It was an advertisement that any actor would crave. It was a theme that did not strain the image at all and actually added to the sense of luxury. However, I don’t know why CEO Kim Seong-hwan is so persuasive. How many times has this happened so far? At that moment, CEO Seonghwan Kim swallows his saliva and elaborates.

“It’s not a national ad.”

Desiderio.

‘Desiderio’, called the luxury of luxury goods, means desire in Italian. Desiderio’s main customer base, which has developed a reputation for a long time based on clothing, is the upper class among the upper class. The children of prestigious European families were the same type as HiSo in Thailand. That’s because one suit costs tens of millions of won.

“Bello (beautiful).”

Desiderio’s chief designer, Monica, cannot take her eyes off the figure of a man shown in the large beam projector. She was a movie buff who watched numerous genres of movies. Starting from classics to Europe and Asia.

“Looking at it again, it’s still so beautiful.”

It was a few months ago that Monica fell in love with an unknown male actor from Asia. Have you ever visited the Cannes Film Festival at the invitation of a film director you happened to be friends with? One of the invited works shown there deeply fascinated her.

Priest’s confession.

At first, just looking at the poster, I thought it was simply an Asian religious film or an occult horror genre similar to The Exorcist. However, when I looked into the inside, I realized that it was a work that deals with the seven deadly sins of humans.

-The wicked give birth to iniquity, they instill disaster and give birth to lies. He dug a pit and fell into a trap he had made. His disaster returns to his own head. His violence will come down on the top of his head. Lord.

-Punish him.

It’s a movie I’ve already seen several times, but the sight of a male actor dressed in a priest’s uniform reciting the death-jong sutra in a pious yet cruel manner was enough to send shivers through my body. Even more so in the finale, where he calmly accepts his own death.

-Just as the idea of a wicked person is forgotten, the world will forget it with the word oblivion and will once again turn a blind eye to the wicked. That’s why I will remain arrogant until the end.

It was enough to leave a deep lingering feeling in Monica’s heart, like his gaze sinking into the pitch-black darkness beneath the cloth.

-Lord, punish me.

It must have been from then on. Monica became crazy interested in a new Asian actor named Jang Young-guk. While leading Desiderio as the chief designer, the image of an actor called Jang Young-guk continued to linger in my mind. The same goes when designing clothes. At some point, didn’t you think of him when you started cutting? She speaks faintly as she looks at the last image of England on the beam projector screen.

“What would it be like to see it in person?”

There isn’t much left. Until I met him.

“Desiderio…”

England pondered over the story he heard from CEO Kim Seong-hwan a few days ago. It is said that Desiderio, an Italian high-end luxury fashion brand, contacted me several times saying they would like to hold a meeting with the UK. It couldn’t have been something unusual. In the first place, Desiderio was such a famous place that there was no need for advertising. Moreover, it was questionable that his name was even known in Italy.

“Oh England? What’s going on?”

Ahn Jung-hyun narrows his eyes when he sees England’s outfit. He asks me again if I’m going on a date. When I told him I was leaving for an advertising meeting, he even asked me again if it was true. That was because British clothing was different from usual.

‘I feel like I’ve come to the right interpretation.’

Didn’t CEO Seonghwan Kim even prepare the costume himself? Since it was a meeting with a Western luxury brand, they must have been careful. Moreover, it was an overseas advertisement, not a domestic advertisement. If you think about it, how many domestic actors in this era have filmed commercials targeting overseas?

In the case of director Baek Jang-hoon’s work, he was able to make time like this because he tended to maximize the filming period. Dressed up like Jeong Hae-seok in the script, England got into the car driven by manager Lee Bong-chun and headed to the meeting place. It is a Korean restaurant in a Hanok building that is well known in Seoul. It is also said that it is a place that politicians often visit because each room is individually divided.

“England!”

CEO Seonghwan Kim arrived first. In some ways, he looked more nervous than England.

“CEO, why are you sweating so much?”

“Because it’s my first time meeting a foreigner. Moreover, he’s Desiderio.”

“Anyway, they kept contacting me asking me to meet them there. They said they were coming with an interpreter.”

It was Desiderio, not England, who was anxious. In fact, England still couldn’t understand why Desiderio wanted to meet him so much. It was then.

Grumble.

The sliding door opens and two men enter the room. They had stylish mustaches, like typical Italians. However, they do not sit down right away and wait for the next person to come in. Soon, a woman with silver hair enters. She was so beautiful that CEO Kim Seong-hwan’s eyes widened and his mouth dropped even more than most actresses. As soon as she walks in, she looks at England and says:

“It’s even more fantastic when you see it in person, right?”
