I Will Live As An Actor Chapter 45

I will live as an actor Episode 45

live broadcast.

SBC Broadcasting Station’s special drama Youth (靑春) has finally begun. From being scheduled in prime time to reporters’ debates even before the broadcast. The first broadcast of Youth, which everyone was looking forward to, was not enough to create a syndrome. As proof of this, isn’t there an uproar over the departure of England’s alma mater?

“Jang Young-guk!”

The rooftop is the sunniest place on campus. Moreover, it is also the most peaceful space. However, at the sudden sound, the pigeons sitting on the rooftop railing quickly flap their wings.

“The class leader is noisy.”

“This is real! Does it make sense to turn a noisy classroom into a market place and let the parties get away like this? Do you know how much of a fuss there is right now, just to see you all? Can I shout loudly here? Jang Young-guk is hiding on the rooftop.”

England, who was basking in the warm sunlight, wakes up. The reason why I rushed to the rooftop as soon as it was lunch time was simple. This is because everyone, both senior and junior, flocked to class to see the face of England.

“When do you think things will calm down, class leader?”

“I’m not a fortune teller, so how do I know that? If the response was this much on the first broadcast, it’s probably going to increase as time goes by. I heard that a group from Seonhwa Girls’ High School across the street came during lunchtime to see you, but they got caught by the janitor and got kicked out.”

It was more than I thought. It was only the first broadcast, but I had no idea it would receive this much response. Anyway, in your last life, didn’t you only act as licorice (supporting actor)? I have never experienced such a passionate response. Even when using public transportation, most people were unrecognizable. However, the current situation when I appeared as the lead role was different.

So many people recognized me on the way to school that it would be true to say that my life changed overnight. That’s how well the character ‘Kim Do-jin’ fits the public’s tastes. Thanks to this, there was no time to sit in the classroom except during class time. It’s a moment when I feel grateful for Kim Jin the Giant Snake, but also hate him.

‘The video was chosen very well.’

Episode 1 of the drama ‘Youth’ was almost like a solo performance in England. Although there was a female protagonist, the main character of the story was the male protagonist, Dojin. In addition, as the title of the drama “Youth” suggests, the directing worked to create a feeling of freshness and refreshingness at the same time.

It was clearly confirmed that Director Kim Jin’s famous saying, ‘I risked my life for this work’, was not just bravado.

“Have you seen the drama, class leader?”

“Of course I saw it.”

“How was it?”

“It was okay. There were some lines that I personally liked.”

If the picky class president is this satisfied, viewership ratings are practically guaranteed. Anyway, I like the line, but there wasn’t a line in episode 1 that was memorable enough to be called a famous scene. At that time, the class leader elaborates, pretending to take a bite of something in the air.

“Handsome men like apples.”

20.7%

This is the viewership rating for the first episode of the SBC drama ‘Youth’. Considering that the viewership rating for the first episode of the epic drama, which was a hit in viewership ratings on MBS last year, was 19.8%, this score is astounding. It can be said that the meaning is even more special because the result was achieved only with new actors, without using any top actors.

“Go PD, are you running away again?”

Go Man-seok, producer of the entertainment department, glances at the drama department partition and turns around in surprise.

“He’s a big guy, but he’s very scared. What brought you here today? Did the youngest get into an accident again?”

“Hey, I think our youngest is always causing trouble! I wonder if something must happen between classmates to come here. I was curious about how high the drama’s viewership ratings were yesterday, so I came here. When I heard the rumor, they said it had already surpassed two figures.”

“If it only exceeded two digits, you’re lucky. Do you remember the historical drama ‘Daesangin’ that aired on MBS last year? Choi Jong-min starred in it. It easily surpassed the viewership ratings of the first episode.”

“Really?”

“If you’re here to recruit England again, wake up from your dream and I’ll be satisfied with this one time.”

“Producer Kim really can’t do that. In fact, when Actor Jang appeared before, the response should have been better. The director also likes it. This time, I’m having a headache because everyone is asking me to cast him again. “If you let me go…”

“I don’t have time to film. No more variety shows. Especially your program. It’s a shame because Young-Kook has a great personality. If it were another actor, I would be double-bad.”

Kim Jin refuses with a sharp refusal. It was obvious that from now on, there would be a flood of entertainment requests similar to personnel requests. The impact of youth was that great. Sharp-eyed producers and reporters have already predicted that this year’s dramas will be dominated by young people. It was then.

“Director Kim is looking for you!”

“Oh ya.”

The scenery in the drama director’s office is extremely peaceful. The color of the drama director’s (CP) tie is darker blue than ever. The drama director, who was tending the orchids, hears a knock and quickly opens the door as if running out in socks.

“Has our treasure arrived!”

“Why are you like this? You usually treat me like a bastard. Just do what you do.”

“Hmm, when did I ever treat you like that again? Did you see the viewership ratings yesterday? As soon as the record was posted, the CEO called me directly. Even in his opinion, the picture was killer. My son-in-law directed it.”

I wonder if this is what a fisherman looks like when his boat is full. A happy smile never leaves the drama director’s face. Wasn’t that also the case for the SBC drama department, which has been falling behind dramas from other terrestrial broadcasting stations for several years?

SBC was criticized for not making dramas, but only entertainment shows. However, it is the drama ‘Youth’ that reverses this trend at once.

“Director, when are you going to hand down the daily gold medal? No, there is a moral principle even in hard work, and the construction period is short, but it is natural that if you create such an outstanding work, you will receive a corresponding reward. Please increase all of the programming time and production pie. “Even if it kills you, if you cut out all the pictures that are a waste of time, who loses in the end? The cause that the director spoke about has now been established.”

“Anyway. I heard you’re so good at taking care of your own food! I wondered why I didn’t say that. I knew that would happen, so I already prepared a golden meal, and I didn’t even have permission to pay additional production costs.”

“What is the programming time?”

The head of the drama department raises a white flag in response to Kim Jin’s harsh words.

“That too was approved by the boss. We are increasing it at the risk of being criticized by other producers. If we increase the programming time, will it only end up talking about reducing the time for other works?”

“Don’t you remember three years ago? When I canceled the drama, I shortened the time and added advertisements. You were the one who made me swallow the bitter taste of ending the drama early.”

“Why do you bring up that story? The hair that fell out from the stress I had back then still hasn’t grown!”

The broadcasting station is a jungle. No one can predict the rise and fall. A program that doesn’t get enough viewership ratings ends early and doesn’t even have a finale, but if it gets good viewership ratings, it gets extended broadcasts and even rewards vacations abroad. It’s natural, but in a way, very ironic.

“Kim Jin, you really have to put your life on the line for this project. You made such a big splash from the first episode, but if you lose strength as the second half goes on, you know what? You die and I live. The boss is pushing me this far, but if it goes wrong, it won’t end well for either of us.”

“Old story! But why am I dead and only the director lives? Isn’t this going too far? “I was like

, “Is this really real?” I was shocked!!”

Before the director could say anything, Kim Jin had already escaped from the director’s office like jumping over a wall. Contrary to his actions, his face was relaxed. It’s full.

Today, I had to finish my exercise by walking around the front yard a few times. No matter how much England ran with his hat tightly pressed down, he recognized me like a ghost and attacked me, so jogging along the Han River was difficult. The ripple effect of the drama was incredible.

It is said that there is literally no war as various scenarios and scripts have already been flooding in to the agency, and advertisers are pouring in with inquiries.

“Handsome men like apples. Giggling.”

“Ah bro!”

“England, I was waiting for the first broadcast and was surprised to see your appearance in the commercial. How refreshing it is to eat an apple. Also, does a red suit suit you? It was very much like the apple and everything, and it was done very well. “I’m not making fun of you, I’m sincere.”

“You know that’s the most obnoxious thing to say, right?”

The assistant director (AD)’s mischievous joke caused an uproar at the filming site. The drama wasn’t the only one that had a huge ripple effect. The apple drink commercial was filmed. That’s the root of the problem. The class locker was full of apple drinks, just like when we were bombarded with chocolate when we filmed August Man three years ago. What’s more, there’s even a rare famous line. Before long, the filming site becomes busy with standbys.

“Senior emotions . For catching scenes, hit it with Jupiter (tungsten) and even consider diffusing it with a Jemball like natural light. When lighting, you need to properly bring out the texture and outline of the subject. If you overdo it, it might feel like a stage play, so keep it subtle and natural, you know?”

“Director Kim! Do you do business once or twice? I knew I would, so I already borrowed the HMI. Even if it doesn’t work out, I’ll try to make it somehow, so let’s do it!”

“Everyone admits that the more I talk about it, the better the work comes out, right? Senior Park! When I do DI, I will create a sense of tension like an insert shot and put Do-jin (Jang Young-guk) on the back side to create a bird’s-eye view, and then go for an elevation angle at the end. I’m going to turn into Inside Walk (IW) while keeping the main character’s emotions alive…”

“Okay, everything, including the track, is already ready! This is the first time I’ve ever had such difficult orders while filming on a set. first! Now that I think about it, why don’t I listen

to the nagging about the sound?” “I asked the sound director right away. And the director himself gave us a gold medal! There’s a company dinner after today’s filming, so let’s fight a little more!”

“Beef?”

“Please check that later. I’m going to Actor Jang now!”

“How can you not even tell me the dinner menu? Is it beef?”

Kim Jin walks away, leaving the cinematographer’s echoing question behind. If he wants to serve beef to the entire filming team, he doesn’t even have the luxury of a gold bar. He has to compromise with reality to some extent.

“Are preparations going well for England?”

Director A smooth exchange of opinions between actors and actors is very important. If the director draws the overall sketch, the detailed brush strokes are the actor’s domain. In that sense, actor Jang Young-guk is a perfect painter. He draws the outline of

the world in the script as if he were the director. And on top of that, he even did the coloring perfectly. During the last filming period, Producer Kim Jin sometimes couldn’t hide his surprise when he saw England’s detailed acting expression.

“The last line of the commercial, England, said you came up with it? I heard that my eyes when looking at people are accurate. The advertising director even called me separately. I heard that the advertiser said we should produce a second part instead of just finishing it as a one-off?”

“I won’t do it. I’ll just focus on the drama.”

“Kiya also recited the model answer I thought of. After all, it’s England! The costume captain is calling you. Hurry up and go. I’ll tell you the shooting order once I’m done with the costumes and makeup.”

Producer Kim Jin, who was left alone when England left, was basking in the scenery. The director of photography quietly approached and asked,

“Don’t put too much pressure on Director Kim. It’s good if it comes out well from the beginning. To be honest, I didn’t expect to see two characters from the first broadcast.”

“How about the pressure? “I don’t even have a chance to feel that.”

Kim Jin smiles at the director’s question. But the look in his eyes is alive. Didn’t they not only increase the production cost, but also increase the programming time? As if he was convinced when he saw England coming out of the dressing room. I elaborate.

I have to do my best. I have the nation’s first love.”
