144 – Movie (2)
“Use…” “I think your tone of voice was a little off just now.”
Seo Eun-woo starts giving feedback on what part of her acting she didn’t like.
Seol So-young watched the scene closely.
She just continued to watch.
She thought that was all she could do.
In fact, the main reason she did not want to interfere with Seo Eun-woo’s acting was a big reason.
And before she could find out the reason why she did that, there was something she had to point out first.
Seo Eun-woo doesn’t know objectively what his acting skills are currently like.
In the words of Seol So-young, who just kept watching her acting by her side, he knew to some extent that he had talent in acting.
Of course, even that comes with the limitation that he must act out the role of the work he created.
But Seol So-young thought that was enough.
First of all, Seo Eun-woo has never studied acting professionally.
So, it was normal to feel awkward in some way while acting.
But ironically, Seol So-young had never felt that way except for her first time.
I think it’s probably because he perfectly understands the role he will play.
The roles he practiced from the beginning were all characters created in his head.
In that sense, rather than having someone nearby to give advice or advice, it is much more suitable for the current Seo Eun-woo to think of the image of the role he has in mind and act freely based on that image.
Of course, since this was a trick based solely on understanding and not entirely on the basics, there were clearly limitations.
So Seol So-young asked him.
He asked if he wanted to act like himself or Park Ha-joon.
If so, he just needs to take the time to learn the basics and learn how to handle his emotions.
But he knew that no one knew how long it would take, and that he did not want it.
927 Author… No, because Seo Eun-woo is a person who enjoys writing scripts dozens of times more than acting.
You can roughly tell this just by looking at the facial expressions when practicing acting and writing the script.
Anyway.
Seol So-young thought that there would be no particular problems filming the work with only Seo Eun-woo’s acting.
Anyway, ‘Summer Without You’ has quite a few scenes where you get along with yourself.
If he leads with all his might, he will be able to create scenes that will satisfy him.
Still, when filming, you have to act in an environment that is relatively unfamiliar to the practice, so there will definitely be times when you make mistakes.
For example, the kissing scene, um… A kissing scene, or just a kissing scene?
However, unlike Seol So-young’s selflessness, there didn’t seem to be many opportunities to do so in the movie ‘Summer Without You.’
Honestly, even Seol So-young of the world was very surprised when Seo Eun-woo played the role of Kang Ha-neul, the male protagonist of ‘Summer Without You’ during the rehearsal stage.
That’s because the acting and depth of emotion shown earlier were on a different level.
As if he had experienced such experiences and emotions even once.
…… Know.
The negative emotions that Seo Eun-woo is showing right now, such as deep sadness, futility, and anger, are not created by him, but solely by Da-hye Lee.
He probably thought of the worst outcome of the stalker incident that day, and created a script called ‘Summer Without You’ based on that thought.
So, how deeply is Lee Da-hye imprinted in his mind right now?
If you assume that a person who always shines brightly and gives positive energy suddenly dies, the feeling of emptiness cannot be expressed in words.
Maybe Seol So-young is more than she thinks.
But there was another truth here.
If it is Lee Da-hye who created his dark feelings, then the person who relieves those dark feelings will probably be himself…….
Soyoung Seol thought so as she recalled the last scene of the script.
Anyway, if the ability to handle such deep emotions were added to the person he is now, the result was obvious.
“… ….”
After Seol So-young finished Seo Eun-woo’s performance, she immediately turned her head to look at other people’s reactions.
As expected, everyone in the room looked quite surprised when they saw his performance.
“Did you call us because you wanted to show off your acting skills?”
“Yes?”
And the first to speak was Yeo Yeon-jeong, who was sitting in the center.
As Yoo Yeon-jeong spoke with her mischievous smile, others also began to chime in one by one.
“Or maybe I did it because I wanted to show Soyoung a good image.”
“No?”
“Oh, then please explain this part. “I just looked at the script and it seemed like there was a kissing scene. Isn’t this too selfish?”
“… ….”
Seo Eun-woo was silent.
It was because I wanted to quickly leave the room where this chaotic conversation was taking place.
***
After the verification of my acting skills, it was unanimously approved that I would play the male lead.
After a brief incident, we returned to the conference room.
“Now, if you are good at acting, what do actors do for a living?”
Director Park Yong-oh said with a cheerful smile.
Write… ….
At first, everyone, including Director Park Yong-oh, looked a little suspicious of me, but as soon as it was over, their attitude changed.
Of course I understand.
Even if it’s like me, what kind of acting does the writer even do? I guess I told him to do just one thing well.
“Tell me not to worry too much. “I thought about it carefully, but I can’t do this twice.”
“hahahaha. “You are humble.”
They seem to think it’s a joke, but I’m serious.
From noble mtl dot com
Acting seems to be more tiring than I thought, both mentally and physically.
But here, NG is added because of my fault?
Oh… I suddenly feel a little respect for Seol So-young sitting next to me.
How on earth did he confidently overcome the Wuhan NG incident that occurred two years ago?
Out of curiosity, I asked the question exactly as it occurred to me, and Seol So-young’s answer was as follows.
“The power of love?”
Uh… hmm.
Let’s stop and find out.
“Now that the positions of the main characters have been decided, it is the turn of the supporting actors.”
I nodded at what PD said.
Actually, there are not many people appearing in this work.
Usually, the development method of a drama is to introduce many surrounding characters and intersect their episodes in a fragmentary and sequential manner so that they can be easily understood at any time.
In other words, because there is time to spare, the characters’ personalities are revealed through small episodes and daily routines rather than elaborate arrangements or rhythms, allowing the viewer to naturally assimilate them.
However, as explained earlier, a movie must place characters elaborately and give them legitimacy in a short period of time.
Then, of course, this question arises.
Is there a need to break the tension of the story by having many supporting actors in a movie that requires you not to look away even for a moment?
The answer is of course NO.
So, there are not as many roles to cast as you might think.
Moreover… ….
“You’re an expert in this area anyway, right?”
“What you’re saying is that they are asking us to cast them well. In addition, we only use actors who fit the feel of the movie.”
“Hmm. After all, if you pretend, you pretend. “Is the conclusion possible?”
“Yes… what. “The lead role has already been decided anyway, so 5 days is enough.”
Producer Na answered my question quite positively.
The casting stage for the lead role takes the longest.
That’s because it’s a role that becomes the main character of a certain work.
That’s why we don’t usually use new actors, but rather actors who are popular, popular, or have a reputation for acting skills.
If it’s just me and Seol So-young, there won’t be any problem with topicality or popularity.
“Now then, shall we talk about the filming location?”
The main setting of ‘Summer Without You’ is school.
In addition, there is a travel scene where the main characters go to Jeju Island, but the main setting is usually school.
It may sound a bit obvious, but most scenes set in schools in movies and dramas are filmed in real schools, not on sets.
Well, there are almost no people at school on weekends anyway…….
Even the school had no reason to refuse since it had the effect of promoting the school.
“First, I need to find out if it will become Hanbit Arts High School.”
If possible, I wanted to film at Hanbit Arts High School.
This is because it was a place where I built relationships with various people.
Other than that, I thought it was quite suitable just considering the structure and appearance of the school.
And for that, it was necessary to receive the cooperation of Song Ha-yul, the chairman of Hanbit Arts High School.
So immediately the next day, during lunch time, PD I visited the office of the director of Hanbit Arts High School with a contract.
Of course, I went along because I was curious about roughly what kind of flow the conversation would lead to.
“It is certainly an offer that we have no reason to refuse.”
Chairman Song Ha-yul smiles with great satisfaction at the news that a movie will be made based on this school.
In a way, it was a natural reaction. Because there is no reason to refuse it.
But one small variable arose.
“Student Eunwoo Seo… No, I guess I should call you Author 927 now. Do you have any intention of using students from our school in this work?”
Chairman Song Ha-yul suddenly looked at me and suddenly said something like that.
