138 – Challenge (3)
I think speaking honestly was the right answer.
Thanks to that, the misunderstanding seems to have been resolved successfully.
Of course, in return, I received a lot of embarrassing care(?) From both sides, but if it was for the sake of family peace…….
“That… how was it?”
“It’s pretty good, isn’t it? “I think you underestimate yourself too much.”
“That’s right. “If you learn properly, you will improve quickly.”
And somehow I tried to act in front of them, but the response wasn’t good.
Of course, they are saying it in good words, but looking at their slightly ambiguous expressions, I can get a rough idea of what it was like.
“To be completely honest?”
“It was just like that.”
“It was normal.”
…… Also.
I roughly expected it because Park Ha-jun reacted strangely when he saw my acting.
The good news is that words like “Bad” And “Worst” Were not used.
“It seems like you are too conscious of your acting. Should I say that overall strength was put into my body and facial expressions…….”
To put it simply, we play separately.
“Huh… “I think we have a long way to go.”
“But I have one question.”
Seol So-young, who was reading the acting practice script I gave her, tilted her head as if she was a little puzzled.
“The writer just played the role of Kim Soo-hong in the work Mafia.”
“…… Yes?”
“Why are you practicing in this role? Is it because this is a role that beginners often practice during practice?”
“Exactly.”
Isn’t it natural to start with something easy?
In that sense, the script for the role of Kim Soo-hong consists of a dialogue structure that is not difficult to memorize even for beginners and minimal gestures.
That’s why I was practicing as a test.
“Why? “Is there a problem?”
“Um… Author. Do you remember the scene where Ha-on and Winter meet for the first time in episode 1 of Welcome to Cafe Violet? To be exact, Haon’s line from that time.”
I nodded to her question.
Of course I remember it.
In the first place, I am the one who wrote the script for Hello Cafe Violet, and I remember all the contents of the script I wrote.
“Then would you like to try it? From Ha-on’s accidental visit to the cafe to the scene where Gyeol-ri drinks her coffee.”
…… It’s Haon.
The Haon I first envisioned was close to the image of a pure young man. She does, of course, but only later does she realize her past through a shaman and becomes a strong young man.
Anyway, in the beginning, Ha-on likes to take pictures of purely natural scenes, and she is free to go wherever she feels like.
It must feel completely opposite to the winter when I was stranded at a cafe called Violet and waited endlessly for someone. I designed it that way from the beginning because I wanted to create such a contrasting feeling.
However, as Seol So-young wishes, it is a very difficult request for me to play the role of Ha-on now.
Can I really express Haon’s unique pure and bright feeling through acting?
Anyone can see that he seems to be far from me…….
I turned my head and glanced at Seol So-young.
For some reason, she was smiling meaningfully while looking at me.
I don’t know the intention, but at least I know that Seol So-young is not the kind of person who would do this to me without thinking.
So, I sighed and smiled bitterly.
Okay, well….
Isn’t it worth it for me to lose money now?
“Then, I will ask you to act opposite Soyoung. As for the cup containing the coffee, use a paper cup for now. “Dahye, just like before, please take a look at how my acting was.”
In no time, a simple set for the first scene of Welcome to Cafe Violet was created, and I took a deep breath and started acting Haon.
First of all, the first line I have to say is to ask Seol So-young, or rather Gyeoreum, who is standing in front of me for coffee.
─Think about this before you start acting.
─What?
─When I wrote the script. How did Haon move at that time, how did she speak, and what did she look like?
As I suddenly stood in front of Seol Soyoung, I remembered the advice she gave me before she started acting.
Just think back to when you wrote the script… Is it.
In fact, it is not that difficult to imagine what Haon was like at that time even without having to think about it.
Perhaps from beginning to end……
The person who understands Haon better than anyone else may be me, the one who created him.
Clearly, Haon would not have had any particular feelings or thoughts as he looked at the winter before his eyes.
It’s just that I look at the woman’s face and admire her a little, as if she’s pretty.
That is why it is not revealed through facial expressions. Rather, the bewildered reaction of the person on the receiving end of the card makes them look a little puzzled.
Tak-
And not long after, the warm espresso made by Winter himself was carefully placed on the table, and I seriously savored the taste and aroma of the coffee.
Haon loves coffee so much that he drinks a cup of coffee a day, and visiting numerous cafes and tasting coffee can be considered a small hobby.
In that sense, I thought that the coffee I was holding right now was extremely ordinary.
Here, it is in the good sense of being ordinary. This means that the original taste of coffee is maintained well.
“Is it good?”
For this reason, when I first put it on, I said quite positive things and smiled faintly.
But the more he drank coffee, the more he felt inexplicable.
It was because the woman’s voice I had just heard kept vaguely in my mind.
So the more coffee he drank, the more his expression hardened, and the teacup was emptied in an instant.
And when I saw that all the teacups were empty, this thought immediately occurred to me.
Rather than being ordinary, it’s something so nostalgic that it brings tears to your eyes…….
Suddenly my mind became strangely confused.
Even though she drank all the coffee, for some reason her ass didn’t move.
“Did it taste good?”
Then, the person who was causing confusion in his head spoke to him cautiously.
I could only nod my head in approval.
I wanted to express it in words as much as possible, but my mind was so confused that I had no choice but to express it further.
And there was only one way to resolve the confusion I was feeling now.
“Maybe…… Haven’t we met somewhere before?”
Asking. Asking questions.
Who the hell are you to shake me up like this?
However, the woman who received this question simply smiled meaningfully. Then he shakes his head vigorously in denial.
But I instinctively realized the negative answer by seeing it with my own eyes.
That is a blatant lie…….
And.
“…… ?”
At some point, the woman’s cold hand was gently caressing my cheek.
If you look closely, he was smiling brightly at me, unlike his previous expression that looked like he was in some kind of pain.
“It was perfect.”
And with those words, the thought returns.
Clap clap clap-
“Wow, you’re a completely different person than before?”
If you listen closely, you can see Da-hye Lee clapping next to her, making exclamations of exclamation.
Honestly, I had to do the admiration.
From noble mtl dot com
I was clearly a beginner who was in a hurry to act out the lines and actions, but when I came to my senses, the acting was already finished.
I looked at Seol So-young with a blank face.
Because I was truly curious as to what kind of magic had been cast upon me.
Soyoung Seol slowly opened her mouth as if it was no big deal.
“This is a very personal opinion, but I think the important thing when acting is not to ‘memorize’ lines or gestures, but to ‘understand’ the character itself. In some ways, acting is similar to studying.”
What kind of personality or past does the character have, how does he or she usually speak and act, what are his or her habits, etc.
It is said that the difference between when the character understands her characteristics one by one and when she does not is completely different.
If you have a complete understanding of the character, you can go one step further.
Go straight to the stage called ‘immersion’.
“I think this is why the writer’s acting has been awkward so far. “I probably vaguely memorized the lines and gestures and started acting.”
“…… After listening to it, it seems like that. “Is that why you asked me to play a character in my work?”
Seol Soyoung nodded her head.
Now I understand a little bit about her intentions.
Because I wrote the book myself, I had a perfect understanding of what kind of person ‘Haon’ was from the beginning.
On the other hand, I don’t know much about the character Kim Soo-hong who appears in the movie Mafia.
Perhaps she wanted to let me know the difference that comes from that gap.
“Of course!”
It was then.
Seol So-young shouted at me as if she still had something important to say.
“Of course… ?”
“That is also possible only with a certain level of talent. “It’s a bit hard for me to say this, but the most important thing in acting is talent.”
This is something that most people, including me, acknowledge.
Talent is important in any job.
Of course, effort is important, but…… If a genius puts in the effort, how are you going to catch up?
Of course, there is no answer.
So, as she said, it makes perfect sense to say that talent is important in acting.
And to paraphrase… ….
“That’s right. What I’m saying is that the writer is very talented at acting. So, my child’s career path is now almost certain to be acting.”
“Now, wait a minute, what?”
“He must be a great genius, right? “Maybe it’s more than that.”
Seeing Seol So-young’s kind smile, which said she would not listen to any objections, she was at a loss for words.
Uh… hmm.
Suddenly, I step on the full accelerator.
“Eunwoo!”
And then Lee Da-hye, who had been eavesdropping on our conversation with interest, nervously called my name.
“If I had a daughter, I would like an idol like me, and if I had a son, I think I would like a writer like you.”
“hahahaha…….”
I could only show a faint smile while listening to their small(?) Wishes.
I guess future me… ….
I probably need to put in a lot of effort.
Anyway, cheer up.
