I Will Live As An Actor

I will live as an actor Episode 182

I went to Yeouido for the first time in a while because I had a commercial shoot. As with most advertisements, it is an unwritten rule to refrain from filming dramas.

This was because leisurely filming an advertisement in a drama scene filled with side scripts and vigils could cause discomfort to the staff.

But there was nothing I could do about this advertisement. Wasn’t it planned long before I was cast for the drama? It was a photo shoot with Desiderio.

“Mr. Jang—!”

As you enter the studio in Yeouido, a familiar person greets you.

“Monica?”

It was Monica Rossellini, Desiderio’s chief designer. Her appearance was unexpected. It wasn’t a local filming, so I didn’t know I would be visiting in person this time. Before starting the commercial shoot, we enjoyed a brief tea time in one corner of the studio.

Is it because of her gorgeous silver hair or because of her beautiful appearance that is a strange mixture of Eastern and Western beauty? Korean staff passing by the studio glanced in this direction.

She always seemed to have a knack for attracting the attention of those around her.

“How did you get to Korea?”

“I came by plane.”

“Aren’t you busy preparing for the F/W season? “Honestly, I never thought I’d be able to meet Monica in the studio today.”

“It’s our first start in Asia. Of course, we had offers from China and Japan, but ultimately we chose Korea.”

Actually, it was surprising. Desiderio was originally only sold in European countries. Therefore, wealthy Asians often traveled to Europe to purchase Desiderio’s products.

Therefore, it was expected that if Desiderio first took root in Asia, it would be China or Japan.

“Mr. Sponza sometimes talks about Mr. Jang. I would like to film again someday. But the rumor I heard is that Wang Wei of China is in contact. Is that true?”

“Not at all. “I only met him a while back at a movie preview in Hong Kong.”

“thank god. By the way, is the scandal with a beautiful actress real?”

her.

I felt it from the moment she brought up the story of meeting Wang Wei in Hong Kong, but the fact that she knew about scandals taking place in Korea while in Italy made me feel that her intelligence was amazing.

“It’s true.”

I didn’t really want to lie in front of Monica. It wasn’t because he was close to her, but it was true that he didn’t want to hide his feelings for Yeonsu any longer.

Monica said with a look of regret at England’s answer.

“It was true. It’s a shame. I saw this visit to Korea as an opportunity… I had failed once in Italy, but I thought that a man of Mr. Jang’s caliber would not regret trying twice. She must be so great that Mr. Jang falls in love with her, right? “Do you like him a lot?”

After all, Western people are bold when it comes to relationships with people. I was a bit embarrassed to be asked so bluntly, but I continued the conversation with Monica.

“I didn’t know that before. But I liked it a lot. “Once I realized that, I think that feeling became even bigger.”

“Mr. Jang is unique. When working, he has no hesitation, but when dating, he becomes so innocent like a boy. He probably fell in love with Mr. Jang after seeing this.”

Monica licked her lips with regret and changed the topic.

“By the way, if Wang Wei comes to Korea, don’t meet him even if you make another excuse.”

“why?”

“In fact, it seems like Mr. Sponza is thinking of flying to Korea right now because of that. I’m telling you not to take pictures with Wang Wei. That person is a famous photographer in Asia, but the quality is not good. There was always a rumor that I was having an affair with the model I was photographing. “It’s also very salty.”

“is it so? Well, it probably doesn’t have anything to do with me.”

“That guy is gay.”

The filming location is a series of company dinners. This is especially true for dramas with good viewership ratings. In that sense, it would not be an exaggeration to say that ‘The Little Mermaid’ was a company dinner feast.

Starting from the first episode’s viewer rating of 23%, the viewership rating has continued to rise.

“Director Kim, haven’t you heard from broadcasting stations these days?”

“I’m not coming. I’m frying all the futile days. Stir-fry. It started with instructions to make every effort to ensure perfection because the production pie will be expanded further, and now it comes down to discussions regarding extensions. “I’m not even thinking about who I’m going to give rice cake to, but I’m just drinking kimchi soup.”

“Who wants to give me rice cake?”

“It is writer Min’s and mine’s debut work, so I hope it ends safely as planned. Most importantly, isn’t England famous for not liking extended broadcasts?”

Producer Kim Woo-hyung and the cinematographer are chatting while tipping glasses of soju to each other. On the outside, it looked like he was under pressure from the broadcasting station, but if you look inside, it could only be said to be bragging.

After all, it wasn’t enough that the viewership rating for the first episode was in the double digits, and discussions were already going on about extending the broadcast.

It was truly a jackpot. As proof of this, isn’t it true that Geumilbong, which is meant to be added to company dinners, comes down every day?

“Yeonsu, what’s wrong?”

The art class leader headed to the table where the training was located with a worried expression.

“No, I’m just a little tired.”

“If you’re not feeling well, you can rest today. It’s just that these immature people like to have company dinners, but it’s best if we just go to a cafe and have a cup of coffee each. right?”

Yeonsu smiled faintly. In fact, there was no particular reason why her expression was so sullen. This was because England, who was always with us at the filming site, was not there.

England was unable to attend due to filming an advertisement.

“Is that because there is no actor Jang?”

Hiccup.

I hiccuped involuntarily at the voice of the art class leader who spoke as if reading my thoughts.

Yeonsu looked around to see if anyone else had heard, but everyone was already drinking and making a lot of noise, so no one was paying attention.

“Did you know?”

“You may not know, but everyone knows except for insensitive people like PD Kim and the cinematographer, right? Everyone pretends not to know. And it’s pretty.”

“yes?”

“What’s wrong with a young man and woman dating? I’m just pretty and nice to look at. “I thought you didn’t know that the two of you secretly hold hands once in a while at a sweet photo shoot, right?”

Yeonsu felt like her heart was sinking.

“When the dating rumor first broke out, I secretly hoped it was true. They are both so good on set, so polite and kind to all the other staff members. I’ve never met actors like Yeonsu and Yeonsu in all the time I’ve been touring filming locations. So, I hoped that good people would do well together, but I was disappointed to see an article saying that it was unfounded.”

“It really wasn’t like that back then.”

“I thought so too. If it’s Actor Jang’s personality that I saw at the filming site, he’s not the type of person to lie because he’s afraid of the media. That’s why it was even more disappointing. But one day, I saw the two of you secretly holding hands.”

The art class leader spoke like a scolded woman and then elaborated.

“Our staff is all on the side of the two actors. So don’t worry. This means don’t worry about being caught secretly dating at the filming site. “Who can say anything about such a pretty couple?”

Yeonsu’s heart was touched by the sudden support. Afterwards, the director of photography’s song is heard. It seems like he was a bit drunk.

“Oh my, that guy must have been very drunk. I have to go stop him. “I can’t hear it anymore.”

The art class leader winks and stands up. The art team leader who goes to stop the tone-deaf cinematographer is caught by the cinematographer and ends up singing a trot duet. Yeonsu, who was looking at that scene, felt her heart sink again.

“miss you.”

It was after the dinner party was over. Yeonsu was immersed in sentiment while looking at the beach. Of course, there was no problem because the manager was watching her from the parked car.

Sitting under the light of the street trees at a time when there are few people around, you are bound to think of the person you miss.

The beach on a summer day is cool. As Yeonsu looked at the splashing waves, the face of England came to mind.

England, which she met while filming ‘August Man’, became an indispensable place for Yeonsu at some point.

After all, it was my first love that comes only once in a lifetime.

My heart is pounding.

When England confessed to him, he almost wondered if this was all a dream.

It was the same when I woke up the next day. I was filled with agony until I went to the filming site, wondering if I had dreamed.

However, I was able to know for sure after feeling the warmth of him holding my hand secretly at the filming site. All of this is not a dream but reality.

“Hitch.”

They say it’s hard to catch a cold in the middle of summer, but Yeonsu made a puzzled expression and wiped the bridge of her nose.

Is it because of the cool weather or the atmosphere of the sea at night? It felt like I had been watching the sea for a long time without even realizing it. It was then.

warmth.

Yeonsu was startled by the coat suddenly being lifted onto her shoulders. When Yeonsu turns her head, a brightness that I have never seen before blooms at the corner of her mouth.

“brother?”

I rubbed my eyes with my sleeve several times, wondering if I had seen something wrong. At that time, England sat down next to Yeonsu and said.

“It’s cold. What are you doing here?”

“How did you get here? “Wasn’t it in Yeouido?”

“I finished filming the commercial early and came down right away. I was planning to come tomorrow morning, but no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t bear it. “I miss you Yeonsu.”

A man and a woman are sitting under the light of a streetlamp. The sound of the waves of the night sea and the feast of folding lanterns seem to be singing to them.

Yeonsoo felt as if her heart was pounding as if it was going to explode at England’s words. Then he saw the coat wrapped around his shoulders.

“Oppa, it must be cold. Now take it.”

“No, I’m wearing it.”

England shook his head at Yeonsu, who was trying to take off his coat. He then pats his head and elaborates.

“If I catch a cold because it’s cold, I’ll make it hard for someone else.”

“I don’t have a mood.”

Even though she says that, Yeonsoo leans on England’s shoulder. The warmth of the two people spreads warmly, putting even the wind of the night sea to shame.

Yeonsu looked up at England with bright eyes. From the mesmerizing eyes to the sharp bridge of the nose and plump lips, there isn’t a single defect in her.

Yeon-soo, who has been secretly peeking at England’s face for a long time, is startled. Because England lowered his head and made eye contact with her.

“Why are you looking so intently?”

“Because I like it.”

How could it not be good? I thought I wish this time would last forever. England lowered his head towards Yeonsu’s forehead, who was hugging him. and.

side.

“I like it too.”

Confess your feelings openly.
