Let’s go to mysticism.
＜The Garden of Evil＞ is a six-episode drama produced by Seowon Lee’s new company, Astra, and invested by the global OTT platform Nflix.
-Have you seen Nflix’s lineup next year?
What are you most looking forward to? I’m a bad boy
└Garden of Evil ㅇㅇ Isn’t it Moon Chang-min’s first drama?
└ But can it be considered a drama? It was too long to make it into a movie, so it seemed like a drama.
Unlike TV dramas, all episodes are released on a set date, so filming is done in advance.
Most of the staff are in the film industry, and the director was the same, probably because Astra was strong in the film industry.
‘Yoonjay? Are you a rookie?’
It is not the director who has the power in casting, but the production company and the investment company.
A year ago, thanks to the global success of Korean dramas, Nflix willingly invested a huge amount of money, and Astra was in charge of casting.
And the production company decides on traffic control in advance and starts filming, but since the top actor named Moon Chang-min is the lead actor, the rest of the actors were slightly lower than him.
‘I thought I’d put Kwon Min-jae in. Because I’m close with Lee Seo-won.’
What is surprising to the director is that a completely new actor has entered the role of ‘Baek Jin-ri’. Since it was a role to be played in the second half, I thought that a well-known actor would make a special appearance.
‘Hmm, maybe it’s better?’
If it is a completely new face, the effect is maximized. If you are good at acting, even better.
‘I don’t know if I have the skills yet.’
Lee Seo-won wouldn’t have put it in without thinking. The director looked at Yoon-Ji with his eyes while drinking coffee.
The attitude is upright and upright. Not too stooped, but not too cocky.
In ＜Garden of Evil＞, pseudo-religious cult leader ‘Baek Jin-ri’ first appears as a handsome face and ardent gathering of followers using his speech skills.
First of all, the role and image fit perfectly. He is handsome without feeling similar to other celebrities, and the atmosphere he exudes is good.
“The reason I asked to see Jay separately was to just casually talk about the scenario, so there’s no need to be too nervous.”
Even though Jay Yoon was a rookie, the coach’s attitude was polite. Because the industry is narrow, you don’t know when and where you will meet again.
In addition, Yoon Jae-yi’s agency is Lee Seo-won’s company, the producer of ＜The Garden of Evil＞, and even before his debut, the director had heard rumors that Cho Yoo-kyung had been spotted.
“Anyway, the role of Baek Jin-ri is an important key point in the second half…”
“Thank you for inviting me.”
Yunjae bowed his head. Park Hyeon-seung, who was in charge of directing ＜The Garden of Evil＞, removed himself from the backrest and narrowed the distance with Jay.
‘First of all, the first impression must have been good.’
It is an obvious gesture of liking, favor, or interest. Yoongi raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
“How did you see the scenario?”
“It was fun. The narrative of the main character coming up step by step from the bottom, or the part where all the rice cakes are unraveled in the second half and driven.”
“Is the second half the part where the white truth comes out?”
“There are things like that.”
“It’s good to be honest.”
＜The Garden of Evil＞ begins when the main character, Kim Yeon-seok, who was sentenced to a limited life sentence, receives a questionable offer.
Proposal to give a huge amount of money if you become the boss of the pants. I agreed for the sake of my body, which will die anyway, and the family that will be left behind, but it turns out that I have been handed over to a group of scammers.
Kim Yeon-seok, who was imprisoned for something he did not do, waited every day for the day he would die.
‘But the death sentence was also false.’
The doctor was also bought by a group of swindlers. After learning the whole truth, he vows to take revenge on those who made him this way when he returns to society.
In order to get revenge, he makes connections in prison, and as Kim Yeon-seok finds out, the secret that he is a former agent is revealed, and a cool revenge is expected from a group of swindlers.
‘Baek Jin-ri’, played by Yoon Jae-yi, is the head of the Jeon Chong-gyo, a group of fraudsters that Kim Yeon-seok slowly steps up, a new religion that is gaining power, and an entrepreneur who dabbles in all sorts of dirty businesses behind the scenes.
“This is your debut, what do you plan on doing?”
It’s not the first time, but I nodded and said my thoughts. There are no other schedules while filming anyway, so even if it’s not my call time, I want to attend the whole time and learn the realism.
“Were you really going to see all the shoots?”
“Shouldn’t that be?”
“Would you like to come on a day when there are no footage of Mr. Jay?”
Yoongi blinked his eyes. Do you have any problem?
The director looked at him as if he was surprised. It’s a role that gives a strong impression, but it’s a role that will only appear in less than 30 minutes.
Some senior actors insist that the sound of watching young actors should not only come out when they are filming themselves, but that they should watch the entire work…
‘The passion is great. These days, everyone only thinks about making money and becoming famous.’
Is this Lee Seo-won’s idea or the actor’s own values? Anyway, I like his sincere personality rather than simply trusting his back and acting out.
But in fact, that’s not what the director wants.
“By the way, Mr. Jay, how about going to mysticism?”
“yes?”
“Oh, I’m not excluding it. It’s for the work.”
I called you separately to say this in the first place. The director continued to explain.
The fact that Baek Jin-ri has a twist in the second half is that only the production company, the director, and Yoon-J know, and the lead actor, Moon Chang-min, does not.
“Actually, if an established actor took on the role of Baek Jin-ri, I think Chang-min would notice, but isn’t Jay a completely new face? I think it would be good to use this.”
The second half reversal elements are also tricked into the main actors. Fortunately, Changmin Moon has a good personality. Even if it turns out, I won’t be angry.
And since he is serious about acting, he would think it would be better if he could somehow bring out his acting ability.
“There must be a lot to be gained from watching other actors acting, but I ask for this. I heard from CEO Lee that he is good at acting.”
“Um, yes. All right.”
The director makes a separate request for the work, can I refuse it? It’s just that there are things I need to know because I’m always present at the filming set.
‘I’m anxious.’
***
As requested by the director, Yoonjay, who didn’t go into the reading and didn’t even poke his nose at the filming set, showed up at the filming set of ＜The Garden of Evil＞ only when it was time for his call.
“Brother Jay. It’s your first shoot today, aren’t you nervous?”
Han Jin-woo, who was in charge of Yoon-jae’s manager at Astra, raised his head and looked at Yoon-jae.
‘Oh, really.’
The day will come when I admire a man’s face.
Besides, he knew how to pay for his face and was nervous, but he wasn’t picky, and he was rather considerate of himself as a manager.
“I think I will die.”
“Doesn’t it look like that?”
Unlike the horse, his face remained calm, probably because he had been trained before. Yoonjae gulped and looked at the set.
Today was a short shoot. Although it is a scene of giving a speech in front of believers, there is finally a filming camera.
‘Can I do well?’
Because of the director’s request, I couldn’t even test my fear of cameras. Still, I thought it would be okay because I remembered that I wasn’t scared at all when I was forced by Jo Yoo-gyeong, but when I came, my heart was beating fast.
“Hello, Director.”
“Is Jay here?”
Yunjae’s behavior became stiffer than usual. However, in the eyes of others, is it just slow movement? was about
“Let’s start with rehearsal.”
Eventually, following the guidance of the staff, we checked the movement and went into rehearsal.
‘Where are you sick?’
The closest staff captured Yoonjay’s mouth as he continued to open and close his hands and swallow.
‘They say I’m a rookie, so I guess this isn’t something I can’t do.’
The staff let out a small sigh, but Yoonjae had no time to care about it. From all sides, many ‘eyes’ are after him.
[Is that him?]
[Oh, that disabled person? Hey are you real?]
[Why are you saying that!]
From noble mtl dot com.
[Ha ha ha ha ha!]
The voices of children who bullied them. And the creepy, unpleasant laugh tickles your ears.
Yunjae turned his head to the side. I’m getting short of breath
“Me, are you okay?”
“yes. it’s okay.”
The staff couldn’t take their eyes off of suspicion. Ah, why does the production company insert such a newcomer so that he can’t leave work quickly?
[Children of Yoon Jae-hee! Can you answer my question?]
[Are you Yoon Je-hee? Would you like to see me for a second? I’ll buy you something delicious.]
[hey! you can’t do that?! Just like ＜Children＞!]
[He said he was a genius, but it’s not a big deal, right?]
[If you’re going to keep using the child, we get divorced!]
Through the camera, I was able to catch a glimpse of Yoonjae, who was suddenly confused. Some staff noticed the difference.
“Let’s start shooting slowly. ready······.”
Everyone was like, ‘Oh, today’s filming mood has turned up. Director Park hates people who can’t act. The moment I thought, “This isn’t going to be delayed, right?”
[Son, you shouldn’t just keep avoiding it because you’re scared.]
It can’t be like this forever.
Yoonjay raised his head slowly while holding the microphone. If you haven’t overcome your fear yet, you can use it.
“cue!”
“We are all conceived and born from the same mother.”
A voice that is filled with emotions boiling over with fear sounds like a voice that trembles with excitement in front of a crowd.
‘Huh?’
‘Hey, was it because of immersion earlier?’
‘It feels good. If I do well, it will end in one queue.’
Childhood trauma lasts longer than you think. Even though he has saved comrades in the middle of enemy lines and rescued hostages from terrorist dens and escaped alone, I am still afraid of those ‘eyes’.
However, when I let go of my mind and used fear and fear head-on, a new look came out. Eyes, nose, mouth, facial expressions such as fine wrinkles are strangely mismatched, and the eyes…
‘Did my eyes… really turn?’
It’s like a real pseudo-religious leader.
The staff member who guided Yunjay along the way swallowed his saliva. Director Park Hyun-seung was the same.
‘Is this okay too?’
Originally, this speech scene was just a normal speech.
Originally, it was intended that Baek Jin-ri become more and more psychotic whenever Kim Yeon-seok gradually learns the outline of the revenge target.
However, everyone knows Baek Jin-ri is a pseudo cult leader and the amount is small, so wouldn’t it be okay to eat up the screen like that from the beginning? It was an act that automatically changed the direction of directing.
***
(I) How was your first shoot?
(YoonJ) I think it didn’t come out better than I thought
However, Yunjae was not satisfied. I overcame it with my mental strength, and the filming was over before I knew it. this is not smoke just, just did it.
Lee Seo-won received a meaningful call from Yoon Jae-i and immediately called the director of ＜The Garden of Evil＞.
“hello? Director Park Hyeon-seung.”
(Why did CEO Lee call me on my shabby number?)
Asking knowing everything. When Lee Seo-won only laughed, Park Hyeon-seung laughed along.
(Did you call because you were curious about Baek Jin-ri?)
“Well, that’s right.”
(Are you doing well? Are you really a rookie? Anyway, you should know CEO Lee’s discernment. He changed the direction of directing after seeing his acting?)
“Hmm, is that so?”
Park Hyeon-seung’s praise continued, but Lee Seo-won felt something was missing.
‘Did I just hit the average?’
After hanging up the phone, Lee Seo-won narrowed her eyes. hmm what It’s good that you did well, but it’s good…
And a few days later, a reaction that exceeded Lee Seo-won’s expectations came back.
(Director Park Hyeon-seung) CEO Lee, Jay Yoon. How many years did this guy sign?
(B) 3 years
(Director Park Hyeon-seung) 3 years? did you do that only?
Park Hyun-seung made a call right away, perhaps feeling frustrated with the message.
(CEO Lee······ We have to hold on to her for a long time. Let’s revise the contract even now.)
“What the hell happened?”
(He killed the whole scene today. He.)
“really? how?”
Lee Seo-won asked again, but Park Hyeon-seung, perhaps because he was excited, kept talking to himself while admiring it.
(Wow I still get goosebumps .)
