I Will Live As An Actor

I will live as an actor Episode 176

‘Uh… … !’

Yeonsu felt her body tilting. I tried to raise myself somehow, but it was already too late. In an instant, I plummeted down the steep cliff, and soon the surface of the water began to swell violently, accompanied by foam.

with a splash-!

The fish are confused and split to the left and right. Yeonsu tried to breathe, but couldn’t. As water enters your nose and mouth, all you can see is the sun’s rays flowing gently over the blue waves.

I wanted to somehow get back to the surface. But my body gradually becomes heavier.

The same was true for consciousness. My eyelids close as I feel someone grabbing my foot and pulling me. From childhood to now as an adult, every moment began to pass by like a flash of light.

-Mom, can I not act?

It was a prescription she came up with herself after suffering from the grueling schedule and pressure of being an actress during her time as a child actor.

Naturally, her mother did not force her to become an actress. Rather, it was her mother who did everything she wanted.

The same goes for acting.

-Can you tell me why you suddenly quit acting, which you had always wanted to do?

I was curious as to why my daughter, who had always dreamed of becoming a child actor, said she wanted to quit acting overnight.

-Isn’t it fun?

-… … .

-Is it very difficult?

-… … .

-then?

Actually, it was because I had no friends. As a child actor, I naturally became distant from school life and had little chance of making friends my age. It was also difficult to become close to the child actors I met on set. Everyone only saw her as competition and did not give up her side.

Moreover, my acting skills did not improve, so I wanted to do well, but it was not easy because desire and talent are inversely proportional to each other.

As this situation continued, acting felt like a noose that was increasingly entangling her, and on the day she spoke honestly about her feelings to her mother, Yeonsu had to see her mother crying in secret for the first time.

-The script will be broken.

It was around that time that I met him for the first time. A child actor of the same age as you met at the filming site. He said he had never studied acting, but he was much better than me. I’m sure he learned it somewhere, so I asked him how on earth he was good at acting.

-Look over there. You can see the pine tree. Each pine tree has a different appearance. They grow up in wind and rain and are sensitive to their surroundings, so the way their branches grow out is different. Some pine trees grow straight, while others grow crookedly, avoiding surrounding branches. But look at it, whether it grows straight or has crooked branches, it always stretches towards the sky. Acting is the same.

There was an unknown scent coming from that person. To be precise, it would be like attraction.

It was he who revitalized my life as an actor, which had fallen into despair. Why is it that the only thing that comes to mind is that person’s face as he sinks into the sea?

At the edge of the faintly receding gaze.

uh… … ?

You see someone coming towards you with a splashing sound. He swims gracefully in the water like the mermaid prince in the script.

The coral reef shimmers with blue light as if the fish are making way for him and cheering him on.

Who is it? Could it be that I am still seeing a fantasy?

Before you know it, you feel him approaching and hugging you. Only then did I realize that all of this was not an illusion. Even though I was in cold sea water, I could feel it. His warm scent.

brother.

England jumped off the cliff without even the slightest hesitation. It would be fair to say that I didn’t even have time to think about it.

No matter how clear the sea water is, it is difficult to secure the view ahead due to the foam that forms when a person’s heavy weight falls.

‘Where is it?’

England cut through the water and went deeper. I jumped off the cliff, but I didn’t even have time to feel the impact.

When I couldn’t see Yeonsu in the hazy vision, I felt my heart sink. Eventually, I found a place where fish were gathered.

England moved quickly and headed there. There was soft water among the fish. Fish were circling around as if to protect Yeonsu from falling helplessly into the sea.

‘thanks.’

England expressed his gratitude to the fish in his heart and headed straight to Yeonsu.

I picked up the unconscious Yeonsu with both hands. Originally, when rescuing someone who lost consciousness in the water, it was correct to go behind their back, but I couldn’t care about that now.

The good news is that Yeonsu was quietly held in his arms, as if being hugged.

with a splash!

It rose to the surface and placed Yeonsu on land.

“Soft water!”

No matter how calm the waves are, the current in the sea is so fast that it cannot be compared to an ordinary river current. Worse yet, didn’t he fall from a cliff that seemed to be sheer?

The shock probably caused him to lose consciousness, and salty sea water rushed into his nose and mouth. England put his hands on his chest.

“Soft water!”

He continued to cry out her name and performed CPR. Artificial respiration did not stop, with her nose plugged and the tip of her chin lifted.

He also jumped off the cliff and got soaked all over, but he didn’t care. How much time has passed?

“please!”

It was then.

With a ‘coughing’ sound, Yeonsu’s upper body shakes and old sea water comes out of her mouth.

England was finally able to let go of his worries at the voice that followed.

“brother… … ?”

* * *

Puck!

It was an incident that almost turned into a major accident. It’s a shame that there were no casualties, but the situation was so dangerous that it wouldn’t be surprising if someone got hurt. Kim Woo-hyung’s face turned red and blue, as if he was about to explode.

“Hey, you idiot, you didn’t check the safety equipment properly!”

FD, who had been hit by a pinch, had his head down and was unable to continue speaking. The driver who drove the mini crane was also seen trembling next to him.

This was not a matter that would end with a simple report. Isn’t it true that he wasn’t seriously injured, but fell off a cliff?

‘I’m going to have to bow down and bow to England.’

If Yeon-soo had fallen off a cliff and England hadn’t come to rescue her, what would have happened would have been dizzying. by the way.

‘How on earth did you jump out of here?’

Kim Woo-hyung looked at the bottom of the cliff and was astonished. Even if you are a fearless person, if you tell him to jump right out of here, he will flinch. Even if you die right now and wake up, you won’t be able to jump. At that time, the assistant director hurriedly approaches.

“Director, I received a call from the hospital. Fortunately, there are no signs of concussion and both of them are physically healthy.”

‘Phew… … .’

I felt like the worries that were stuck in a corner of my heart were being swept away. FD and the mini crane operator were also heartbroken by the news. but.

“Choi Jin-woo’s case may not end with this statement.”

“Yes, Director.”

“And the driver who installed the safety equipment may face legal action. “It is true that the actors were not seriously injured, but they fell off the cliff due to neglect of safety equipment.”

In fact, the person who bore the most responsibility was none other than Kim Woo-hyung himself. After all, the overall responsibility for what happens at the filming site lies with the producer in charge. It was then.

“Producer.”

Kim Woo-hyung’s head turns at the sudden voice. And my eyes opened as wide as a flower lantern.

“Mr. Yeonsu?”

This was because Yeonsu, who should have been resting in the hospital, reappeared at the filming site.

* * *

The night in Namhang (南港) is beautiful. Constellations are embroidered in the night sky, and the sound of waves crashing against the breakwater resonates like a song.

The sound of soju glasses clinking can be heard from a large pot restaurant under an old signboard that shows signs of age.

“I’m really sorry, Yeonsu.”

Kim Woo-hyung bowed his head again toward Yeon-soo. Yeon-soo glances at Kim Woo-hyung and looks at the surrounding atmosphere.

“Producer, you’re going to keep saying you’re so sorry. “I said it was okay.”

The filming site where the accident occurred quickly becomes cold. Especially in the case of a large-scale accident like this one, there can be a dispute over legal responsibility, not just moral responsibility.

However, thanks to Yeon-soo’s help, the incident was not able to spread that far.

“Come on, everyone, let’s have a drink!”

It was when Yeonsu raised her glass of soju to change the mood.

“Yeonsu has grown a lot?”

Britain entered the pot house. The UK felt proud of Yeonsu, who had now taken off her child actor attire.

This was evident from the fact that as soon as treatment was completed at the hospital, he headed straight to the filming location. Perhaps he struck the player first out of fear that the atmosphere at the filming site would become cold.

He showed up late because he was worried that the atmosphere would become even thinner if he was followed.

As time passed, the atmosphere inside the large pot house also began to become lively again.

There was already an uproar among the staff. In particular, the costume and art teams, which are mainly comprised of female staff, constantly talk about England.

Anyway, for the sake of training, no one could have imagined that England would jump straight off a cliff.

“Now that things are going well, I’ll say something.”

The attention of the left was focused on Britain’s voice.

“As everyone knows, this accident was caused by negligence and lack of safety awareness. Fortunately, there were no major casualties, but it was an accident so dangerous that it would not be surprising if it spread that way.”

FD and everyone, including Kim Woo-hyung, bow their heads.

“However, actor Yeon-soo, who was involved in the accident, does not want the incident to become a big deal, so we just need to prevent accidents like this from happening again. “Once again, there is no second time.”

Everyone swallows their saliva at the emphasis that there will never be a second time. This is because we do not know why Britain says that. This meant that everyone should be prepared if a similar accident occurs again at the filming site.

Yeonsu tried to lighten the mood, but I thought it would be better to instil awareness one last time.

But this was not what Britain wanted to ask. His gaze slowly returns to the petite woman sitting on one side of the bamboo hut.

At that moment,

“And lastly, I would like to ask producer Jang Woo-yeon, who shot the making film.”

Jang Woo-yeon, who was suddenly singled out, opened her eyes round. In a tense atmosphere, he had no idea his name would be called. England looked at producer Jang Woo-yeon and elaborated.

“Did you film the entire accident?”

While Jang Woo-yeon was in charge of the making film, she never let go of the camera. It was the same at the time the accident occurred. Even the cinematographer was so shocked that he ran out.

However, he was capturing the entire situation from start to finish.

“I included everything, but… … .”

The corner of England’s mouth rises at that answer.
