unexpected departure (3)
Oh Tae-woo took a year off and joined the filming.
As soon as he went to work on the first day of filming, he immediately caught people’s attention.
“Wow, that is really big. How tall are you?”
“Isn’t it more than 2 meters?”
“I think my forearms are as big as my thighs?”
“Has there ever been an actor like that? If that’s enough, I think rumors would have spread just because of the physical?”
“I think you’re better suited for the role of captain of the bodyguard than Choi Hak-soon?”
Oh Tae-woo stood upright in a secluded place with his arms crossed.
Usually, the minor roles are busy greeting the film crew and stamping their faces, but they didn’t seem to be interested in that at all.
“It definitely reminds me of Jeong Seo-hoon’s debut. Jeong Seo-hoon was also strong in My Way, unlike a rookie.”
“They said he was an actor who came in through Jeong Seo-hoon.”
“Ah, somehow.”
“Oh, it’s Yoo Jung-ah.”
“They said they were appearing in friendship, so it’s true.”
When Yoo Jung-ah entered, people’s eyes were drawn to her. As a filming staff, we learn and get along well without discrimination.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen Yoo Jung-ah in person, and she’s a real goddess herself. The face is very small.”
“The proportions are really good. How tall are you? It looks like 170?”
“Around 168? But the hair is small and the limbs are long, so it looks bigger.”
“uh? Are you going to a minor role?”
Standing in front of Oh Tae-woo, Yoo Jung-ah smiled and said hello.
“Here you are, Detective.”
“Ah, Mr. Jeonga.”
The sharp atmosphere in the interrogation room disappeared in an instant, replaced by a gentle smile of a bear cub.
It was a quick and unsuitable change to the point that those who were instinctively wary of him were taken aback.
“hit. How much do you pay for your performance?”
“They say it’s 30 per episode, but since I’m only in 2 episodes, it’s 60 in total.”
“Wow, that is really salty. Detective Oh, how much is the ransom? I guess I should take care of it instead.”
“Oh, making good memories with Yoo Jung-ah is already an appearance fee. I don’t envy even one of the S-class actor fees.”
“I am very grateful that you think so.”
“Isn’t Yoo Jung-ah really appearing without pay? It’s a friendship show.”
“Take a bit of paralysis. I have to go to the hairdresser, and there are gas prices.”
It is definitely noticeable that Yoo Jung-ah approaches the completely unknown rookie first, and the two naturally talk as if they are friendly.
Yoo Jeong-ah is also taller than average and even wears heels, but the difference in weight class is clear, as if seeing an adult and a kindergartener.
Jeong Seo-hoon, who appeared at the right time, approached the two and exchanged greetings.
“Are you here, Detective?”
“Nice to meet you.”
That’s what he said, but he didn’t look very happy.
I’m having a fun conversation with Yoo Jung-ah, but I’m a fan who hates being interrupted.
Suddenly, Yoo Jeong-ah lightly clapped her hands.
“Two minutes, quickly stand side by side. Come on.”
“Like this?”
Before Jeong Seo-hoon could say anything, Oh Tae-woo hurriedly came and stood next to him.
Yoo Jung-ah took a few steps back and looked at the two of them.
“Seohun, you said your height was 183, right?”
“Yes.”
“Then, Detective Oh, how tall are you? One head seems to be different.”
“I am 199.6 cm tall.”
“Then rounding up to 2 meters?”
“No, two meters. I am in my 190s.”
“But don’t people who are usually around 2 meters tall say 199 points? If you say 199.9 or 8, it’s obvious that you deliberately lowered it, so did you say 199.6?”
“… … .”
“Oh my, is it real?”
“Anyway, I’m in my 190s.”
Jeong Seo-hoon could faintly feel the trembling breathing. It seems that I touched a part that I wanted to hide.
Even director Choi Hong-rae appeared and the atmosphere on the set became busy.
Director Oh Tae-woo, a rookie short-timer, continued to cringe.
“Oh Tae-woo. come this way I will give you a rehearsal briefing.”
It was a low profile that came out naturally because it was in front of a large incumbent homicide detective, but the people on the scene interpreted it in a different way.
‘Doesn’t that rookie bit role have a huge back-up behind it?’
‘Where do you belong to a famous theater company?’
‘If you came in through the introduction of Jeong Seo-hoon… … .’
Choi Hong-rae explained, pointing here and there with his finger from the hallway under the stairs.
“I have to carry Yoo Jung-ah on my back from up there. It’s too dangerous to go in one long take, so I’ll cut it several times.”
“I’m carrying Yoo Jung-ah on my back?”
Her eyes, which had been extremely cold in front of anyone other than Yoo Jung-ah, suddenly brightened.
“Yes. This is the scene where Yoo Jeong-ah meets Jeong Seo-hoon and goes home and is attacked by the main character’s gang. There is nothing to say, just take a look at the movement.”
Choi Hong-rae unfolded the storyboard and showed it, pointing out each scene by hand.
“You just have to run all the way down from the top like this.”
“Five. When you shoot a movie, do you usually miss cartoons like this?”
Choi Hong-rae nodded quickly, unable to correct himself, saying that it was a drama, not a movie.
“Yes yes. I can’t explain the scenes I have in my head to the actors or staff in words. By drawing all the scenes like this, I’m conveying that I’m going to do a rough production like this.”
“You draw well. I think the director would have done great even if he was a painter.”
“I didn’t draw it.”
“what?”
The director was heartbroken.
Why does it sound like interrogation?
“I heard that the scene in the director’s head was transferred to a picture?”
“I only rough it, and the storyboard writers complete it again according to my explanation. What I drew is at the level of a stickman.”
“Ah, too. You don’t give it all to one person. Because God is fair.”
At those words, Choi Hong-rae burst into laughter.
“Sometimes it’s all in one person. Like over there.”
In the direction Choi Hong-rae pointed out, Jeong Seo-hun and Yoo Jeong-ah were talking face-to-face.
“What makes our Yoo Jeong-ah so happy? It’s rare to see such a genuinely happy face.”
“Actresses say that. Just looking at Jeong Seo-hoon’s face makes me smile.”
“It’s not a very funny face. Didn’t I look a little more funny?”
Oh Tae-woo patted his chin while talking to himself, and Choi Hong-rae quietly swallowed a laugh inwardly.
* * *
Choi Ye-joo (Yoo Jeong-ah) was Yoon Se-hyun’s (Jeong Seo-hun) lover.
But not to be married. It’s just an enjoyment for Yoon Se-hyun to enjoy her youth.
Of course, Choi Ye-joo had no complaints at all and was satisfied with the current relationship.
-Brother, the new Hermès is pretty this time.
– Buy yourself.
-Ai, if you go alone and scratch, you’ll think you’re a bar girl.
-You sell alcohol.
-Is it the same as running Yangju Bar? Totally different!
-I am busy today. Did you take the manager with you?
– Chet.
Choi Ye-ju wakes up in a nightgown and disappears to change clothes.
The place changes to a corridor with colorful interiors on the left and right.
Behind Choi Ye-joo, who takes the lead, the big bodyguard captain quietly follows.
Suddenly, Choi Ye-joo hit an ad-lib.
-Oh Chief, how tall are you? 2 meters long?
“No, I’m in my 190s, Mr. Jeonga.”
“Cut! NG!”
“Poop!”
“cook… … !”
“Kick.”
The NG sign came out, and the sound of suppressing laughter leaked out here and there.
Director Choi Hong-rae also said with a gentle face without frowning at all.
“Yoo Jeong-ah, I liked ad-libbing. Oh Tae-woo, you can just accept that kind of thing naturally.”
“Sorry for my mistake. But don’t I have any lines?”
“It means that even if you don’t say anything, it will be an ad-lib response. Choi Ye-joo will not grab Chief Oh by the collar if he doesn’t answer.”
“Uh, then if you answer, will you grab me by the collar?”
“… … .”
“… … .”
“It’s a joke, but why are you taking it as a documentary?”
Judging from how he said it naturally, it must have been a joke. It’s hard not to misunderstand the one who accepts because the expression is so sharp, but… … .
“Okay, let’s go again.”
Yoo Jung-ah and Oh Tae-woo took their places again.
The door opens, and Choi Ye-joo comes forward first.
-Oh Chief, how tall are you? 2 meters long?
Director Oh, who had been looking left and right, for a moment, threw Choi Ye-joo’s handbag and returned it instead of answering.
– He’s really quiet. My brother deserves to be next to me.
Choi Ye-joo naturally went over to herself.
Excited with the anticipation of shopping soon, the face is full of joy.
“Cut.”
Choi Hong-rae called the two actors in front of the monitor again.
“Oh Tae-woo. This expression here, it was very good. All you have to do is feel like this all the time. Because the character concept is not going to change.”
“Is this me?”
Oh Tae-woo opened his eyes wide in disbelief and looked at the monitor as if he were going to eat it.
“no. You’re holding on to your form in a suit that doesn’t even make you a national gangster. No matter how you look at it, this doesn’t look like me.”
Choi Hong-rae, the cinematographer, and Yoo Jung-ah all had the same thought.
The expression reflected on the monitor and the expression in real life are completely the same?
“Because I set the camera to give that feeling. This is what acting is originally about. It creates an artificial appearance that does not exist. Both actors and directors.”
“Um… … .”
“I’ll go to the same scene one more time. Please respond in moderation this time. Compared to the no-answer scene, I will choose a better scene when editing.”
“No, even though I said there were no lines at all, now I’m here… … I got it anyway.”
If it’s a normal minor role, he’ll be happy if you give him even one more line, and he’ll have to bow his head to be normal, but instead, he grumbles in front of the director, asking why he gave a line that wasn’t there.
Favor was treated badly, but Choi Hong-rae struggled to laugh, and the other staff members also knew that Oh Tae-woo was definitely not Eul.
Same scene again.
-Oh Chief, how tall are you?
It’s -2 meters, but it says 199.8 and goes around.
-Then, Tina deliberately lowered it. From now on, they say 199.6.
-All right.
Yoo Jeong-ah, recalling the conversation earlier, smiled calmly.
The short, impromptu lines exchanged gave a quiet, comfortable laugh.
Choi Hong-rae shook his head while looking at the monitor. Which scene should be included in the main story?
‘I like the silent atmosphere of the scene where I just stare at you without answering, and I like it because it seems to ease the tension of the viewers.’
Which of the two good scenes will I write? Concerns like this are always fun.
-there! That b*tch is the female president of S1!
-catch! Soak the bulk!
Suddenly, the main character (Oh Jun-ho) and his gang appeared and rushed at her, and Choi Ye-joo’s expression was stained with contemplation.
Director Oh lifted Choi Ye-joo forward and sprinted without any change in expression.
Choi Hong-rae clenched his fists and fixed his eyes on the monitor.
Some will imagine a faithful dog calmly protecting its owner’s woman, while others will imagine a brown bear running away with a deer in its mouth while shaking off its rivals.
Assistant director Kim Dae-gil watched nervously from the side.
‘You said you were going to cut this off?’
Since there was no cut sign, the cameras continued to follow Chief Oh’s movements. It seemed that the director was deeply immersed in it.
Oh came down the stairs in an instant and ran nonstop through the wide open door.
As soon as they got out of the building, the filming team had an unexpected accident.
One of the sidewalk blocks that Director Oh stepped on had sunk.
It was enough of a distraction to lose my balance while sprinting with an adult woman in front of me.
All the staff froze, but no screams came out. The posture of a van pro sticking to the body.
“Kyaaah!”
It was Choi Ye-joo’s scream.
Chief Oh, who suddenly fell forward, turned his body in the air and slid to the floor with his back. Thanks to that, Choi Ye-joo was not hurt at all.
“… … .”
“… … .”
While everyone watched with bated breath, Choi Ye-joo, who was safely held on top of Chief Oh’s stomach, became annoyed.
-Oh Chief, aren’t you doing it right?
-sorry.
Oh Tae-woo, who got up again expressionless, opened the back door of the car and pushed Choi Ye-joo in. He slammed the passenger’s window and the car hurried away, leaving him behind.
Towards the main character and his gang, who had escaped from the building belatedly, Chief Oh ambled along, lightly relaxing his shoulder and neck muscles.
The still expressionless gaze calmly glanced over was the silent roar of a bear about to hunt.
“Cut!”
Only then did Choi Hong-rae, who shouted “cut,” run after a month.
“Aren’t you hurt? sorry. Even if Oh Tae-woo fell, he didn’t break the flow, so I just kept following him.”
“What are you doing with this much?”
“I really liked the look on his face as he approached the main characters at the end. How did you get that look?”
“They’re drug addicts, thinking that way makes me a bit more focused.”
“… … ah.”
