I Will Live As An Actor

I will live as an actor Episode 174

Extra.

“That’s because they said it wouldn’t work!”

The assistant cast leader raises his voice. The reason he was so angry was simple. It was because the supporting actor in front of me was making ridiculous demands.

“If the lines are missing, you can just assume that’s the case. I know you’re the only supporting actor who wants to appear right now. They kept calling me because they thought I was good at acting. Do you think you have become a main character of some kind?”

Other staff members pretend not to notice and pass by. At the filming site, the supporting actors were as necessary as the main actors.

These are commonly referred to as extra minor characters. Although there were occasional minor workers belonging to the agency, most of them were freelance workers, like daily workers.

“Is this a bastard with a brain or a bastard without one? You should pack your bags and go back now. “What is this, because the PD is really good at it?”

Therefore, the assistant cast leader was expected to resolve any noise arising from the auxiliary actors.

From the producer’s perspective, it was better than being inconvenient, so he would tolerate most things. The supporting actor is in tears after hearing what the class leader said.

It was then.

“What’s going on?”

The head of the assistant cast jerked his head at the sudden voice. Then his nervous expression quickly calmed down.

“Actress Jang Jang! “It’s nothing!”

“It’s nothing. I heard it from afar and thought there was a fight. And why is this person’s expression like this?”

“Oh that… … .”

The assistant cast leader wiped his dry lips. However, he eventually confessed when he saw England’s gaze on him.

The outline of the incident was simple. Most extras do not have any lines. But sometimes there were lines. That was the case just now.

A supporting actor who caught the eye of producer Kim Woo-hyung was given the opportunity to speak his lines, but the lines were not actually written in the script.

“Why do you judge that, class president?”

“yes?”

“Have you checked to see if the lines were really removed or if they just didn’t have time to write them into the script? “I heard PD Kim came up with the idea spontaneously.”

“I thought it had disappeared because it wasn’t in the script.”

“You didn’t ask PD Kim, right?”

The assistant cast leader finally nodded.

In fact, there were only a handful of cases where assistant actors communicated directly with the producer at the filming site. In most cases, the FD or AD would deliver the producer’s instructions to the assistant cast leader, and the assistant cast leader would then give instructions to the assistant cast leader.

“Or is it because of Fay?”

The assistant cast leader’s face turned red. It hit the nail on the head. The appearance fees of supporting actors are mostly similar.

However, if lines are added, the appearance fee also varies. Britain has often seen such cases in the past. Obviously, the broadcasting station would have paid additional appearance fees to the assistant cast leader for assistant actors who had lines.

‘I’ve been ripped off a lot in the past too.’

Didn’t he also play minor roles in his past life? I couldn’t understand why the head of the assistant cast was scolding the assistant cast.

If he stays quiet, he may be able to get away with it, but he is afraid that the supporting cast may raise questions and the broadcasting station will demand a refund of the additional appearance fee.

It was like crushing my dream of becoming a supporting actor just for a few thousand won.

“You’re Songmi Han, right?”

England no longer said anything to the assistant cast leader, but instead looked at the assistant cast leader who was crying.

The supporting actor nodded with rabbit eyes as if he was very surprised that England knew his name.

The assistant cast leader’s face turned blue at the subsequent afterword.

“Let’s go to PD Kim with me.”

* * *

Producer Kim Woo-hyung scratched his head.

“England, if you step out like this.”

“i know. “The atmosphere is getting weird.”

There was a subtle tension at the filming site because England brought a supporting actor to visit Kim Woo-hyung.

But Britain had no choice but to do so. Didn’t he also move around as an extra in his past life?

“Still, I couldn’t just ignore it. Among the supporting actors, there may be people who just work part-time, but there are also many people who dream of becoming real actors and work hard.”

“If anyone were to look at it, they would think that England came up step by step, starting from the extras.”

“Oh my PD. How about changing the assistant cast leader? If you turn a blind eye to me once, I’m the type of person who will prank you twice. The assistant cast leader is the person who looks at the assistant cast members from the closest distance, so you can’t trample on even that dream. And that friend from earlier will act well.”

“How does England know about you?”

“It’s there when I’m practicing acting at the filming site. At that time, the friend I pay the most attention to is that friend. “Wouldn’t it be okay to give a friend like that one chance?”

Soon, an assistant director approaches the two. It was a signal that standby preparations were complete.

As Kim Woo-hyung watched the back of England moving away, he felt that he had the aura of a great actor.

“Scene number 47, Lee Soo becomes Mia!”

The filming location was a crowded department store. The camera was capturing Lee Soo (England) walking around the department store.

It was definitely a department store that I had visited with Myojeong Han (Yeonsu) before, but I couldn’t figure out where it was.

“Myojeong will be worried.”

The reason I went to the department store without telling Myojeong was simple. It was because I wanted to repay her. Isn’t this the woman who always feeds and takes care of her?

I wanted to bring him a pearl from a giant clam sleeping in the sea, but I couldn’t even go back to the Dragon Palace because I couldn’t find the rabbit’s liver yet.

“It’s here!”

Lee Soo walked towards a store that happened to be visible. As soon as Lee Soo enters the store, an employee of a luxury jewelry shop (Han Song-mi) approaches him with a bright smile.

“Are you looking for a customer?”

“I’m looking for something very flashy and shiny.”

“Are you talking about something flashy and shiny? … ?”

It was an abstract answer, but the employee didn’t mind. After all, he is a man who not only looks like a celebrity, but also wears luxury goods all over his body.

To put it bluntly, I thought it could not have been a big deal. Soon, an employee brought in numerous luxury jewelry necklaces. They are all expensive items.

“Are you going to give it to your girlfriend as a gift?”

“Girlfriend? what is that?”

“Ah, to your married wife… … ?”

Lee Soo looked like he didn’t know what he was talking about. It was natural. Because I haven’t fully adapted to the land language yet.

The employee was momentarily taken aback by Lee Soo’s expression, but soon began to respond professionally. Starting with the characteristics of each necklace and even what kind of gems they were made of.

“I want this!”

“As expected, customer! “Your vision is excellent!”

What Lee Soo chose was the most expensive necklace among the lineup of products the employee brought out.

The employee naturally brought a calculator and explained how much the price was. Of course, since it was a luxury store, there was no cash discount, unfortunately.

At that time, Lee Soo tilted his head and answered.

“Can’t I do this?”

Lee Soo took out the things he had prepared in advance from his pocket. It was the currency used in the Dragon Palace. The employee narrowed his eyes as he looked at the colorful seashells placed on the table.

I looked at the other person, wondering if he was playing a joke on me, but his expression was extremely serious.

“Hmm, isn’t this enough? Do we need more?”

The employee thought as he looked at the colorful seashells coming out of Isu’s pocket.

‘Is he crazy…? … ?’

Cinematographer Park Seong-jin made a strange expression. When I first took on the role of director of photography for ‘The Little Mermaid,’ I was more disappointed than I expected.

That’s because the director in charge of directing is a rookie producer. It was said that the writer who wrote the script for his debut film was also a novice writer from the entertainment industry.

‘what? Jang Young-guk decided to play the lead role?’

At first, I thought I heard something wrong. That’s because, unless Jang Young-guk was crazy, there was no reason for him to appear in the debut film of a new producer.

But as time passed, I realized that his choice was not wrong.

“Is there really such a thing as talent?”

It was Park Seong-jin, who experienced many hardships during his 20 years in the broadcasting industry. In the field of cinematographers, there are so few veterans with more experience than him that he can now be counted within five fingers.

What I felt during those years was that there were no natural ‘geniuses’ in broadcasting stations from the beginning. However.

“No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem like a debut film.”

Of course, during my AD days, I could have served as an assistant director on the filming set of another senior producer.

However, secondary and main have different concepts. Beyond the camera, the direction of movement and direction of production, and even an understanding of the light quality of natural and artificial light.

Kim Woo-hyung did not miss those meticulous details. Of course, it was not perfect in every aspect. But there was someone who filled the void. as soon as.

“This guy, Jang Young-guk, is a real idiot.”

Actor Jang Young-guk had a very high level of understanding of directing despite his young age. I had heard rumors about it, but I had no idea it was to this extent.

It was like the skill of an old master to occasionally give advice to Kim Woo-hyung, who was thinking about directing at the filming site.

He is even more adept at resolving problems that arise among supporting actors.

As a joke, it is said that although class society has disappeared since the Joseon Dynasty, class still exists on set.

It was as if there was an invisible wall between the lead and supporting actors.

However, England seems to be able to cross that barrier without any problems and gets along well with the supporting actors.

“It’s fascinating.”

“Director, what’s so interesting?”

“omg… … !”

This was when cinematographer Park Seong-jin was touching the tip of his chin and muttering to himself. Isn’t England right in front of us, without knowing when it’s coming?

“It’s a surprise, Actor Jang. “Let’s make some noise.”

“I said hello to you several times, but the director didn’t hear you. You seemed lost in your thoughts as you stared into the distant sky. What are you thinking so hard about? Maybe a woman… “

“No, what…” … !”

“Director, you should get married quickly too. If you continue like this, you will become an old man instead of an old bachelor. Or should I just let Ojakgyo go? “The owner of the beauty salon I often go to in Seoul.”

“This guy is real!”

When Park Seong-jin makes a loud noise, England appears to run away, waving his hands.

How did this happen? Park Seong-jin was famous for his charisma on set.

Not only the actors but also the PDs found it so difficult to talk to themselves that people even called him cold-blooded within the broadcasting station.

But somehow, in the filming of this drama, no one is afraid of him. From the new producer who constantly talks back to the young actor who makes fun of him.

But for some reason, I don’t hate those things.
