Chapter 174

I will live as an actor Episode 174

Extra.

“That’s because they said it wouldn’t work!”

The assistant cast leader raises his voice. The reason he was so angry was simple. It was because the supporting actor in front of me was making ridiculous demands.

“If the lines are missing, you can just assume that’s the case. I know you’re the only supporting actor who wants to appear right now. They kept calling me because they thought I was good at acting. Do you think you have become a main character of some kind?”

Other staff members pretend not to notice and pass by. At the filming site, the supporting actors were as necessary as the main actors.

These are commonly referred to as extra minor characters. Although there were occasional minor workers belonging to the agency, most of them were freelance workers, like daily workers.

“Is this a bastard with a brain or a bastard without one? You should pack your bags and go back now. “What is this, because the PD is really good at it?”

Therefore, the assistant cast leader was expected to resolve any noise arising from the auxiliary actors.

From the producer’s perspective, it was better than being inconvenient, so he would tolerate most things. The supporting actor is in tears after hearing what the class leader said.

It was then.

“What’s going on?”

The head of the assistant cast jerked his head at the sudden voice. Then his nervous expression quickly calmed down.

“Actress Jang Jang! “It’s nothing!”

“It’s nothing. I heard it from afar and thought there was a fight. And why is this person’s expression like this?”

“Oh that... ... .”

The assistant cast leader wiped his dry lips. However, he eventually confessed when he saw England’s gaze on him.

The outline of the incident was simple. Most extras do not have any lines. But sometimes there were lines. That was the case just now.

A supporting actor who caught the eye of producer Kim Woo-hyung was given the opportunity to speak his lines, but the lines were not actually written in the script.

“Why do you judge that, class president?”

“yes?”

“Have you checked to see if the lines were really removed or if they just didn’t have time to write them into the script? “I heard PD Kim came up with the idea spontaneously.”

“I thought it had disappeared because it wasn’t in the script.”

“You didn’t ask PD Kim, right?”

The assistant cast leader finally nodded.

In fact, there were only a handful of cases where assistant actors communicated directly with the producer at the filming site. In most cases, the FD or AD would deliver the producer’s instructions to the assistant cast leader, and the assistant cast leader would then give instructions to the assistant cast leader.

“Or is it because of Fay?”

The assistant cast leader’s face turned red. It hit the nail on the head. The appearance fees of supporting actors are mostly similar.

However, if lines are added, the appearance fee also varies. Britain has often seen such cases in the past. Obviously, the broadcasting station would have paid additional appearance fees to the assistant cast leader for assistant actors who had lines.

‘I’ve been ripped off a lot in the past too.’

Didn’t he also play minor roles in his past life? I couldn’t understand why the head of the assistant cast was scolding the assistant cast.

If he stays quiet, he may be able to get away with it, but he is afraid that the supporting cast may raise questions and the broadcasting station will demand a refund of the additional appearance fee.

It was like crushing my dream of becoming a supporting actor just for a few thousand won.

“You’re Songmi Han, right?”

England no longer said anything to the assistant cast leader, but instead looked at the assistant cast leader who was crying.

The supporting actor nodded with rabbit eyes as if he was very surprised that England knew his name.

The assistant cast leader’s face turned blue at the subsequent afterword.

“Let’s go to PD Kim with me.”

I looked at the other person, wondering if he was playing a joke on me, but his expression was extremely serious.

“Hmm, isn’t this enough? Do we need more?”

The employee thought as he looked at the colorful seashells coming out of Isu’s pocket.

‘Is he crazy...? ... ?’

* * *

Cinematographer Park Seong-jin made a strange expression. When I first took on the role of director of photography for ‘The Little Mermaid,’ I was more disappointed than I expected.

That’s because the director in charge of directing is a rookie producer. It was said that the writer who wrote the script for his debut film was also a novice writer from the entertainment industry.

‘what? Jang Young-guk decided to play the lead role?’

At first, I thought I heard something wrong. That’s because, unless Jang Young-guk was crazy, there was no reason for him to appear in the debut film of a new producer.

But as time passed, I realized that his choice was not wrong.

“Is there really such a thing as talent?”

It was Park Seong-jin, who experienced many hardships during his 20 years in the broadcasting industry. In the field of cinematographers, there are so few veterans with more experience than him that he can now be counted within five fingers.

What I felt during those years was that there were no natural ‘geniuses’ in broadcasting stations from the beginning. However.

“No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem like a debut film.”

Of course, during my AD days, I could have served as an assistant director on the filming set of another senior producer.

However, secondary and main have different concepts. Beyond the camera, the direction of movement and direction of production, and even an understanding of the light quality of natural and artificial light.

Kim Woo-hyung did not miss those meticulous details. Of course, it was not perfect in every aspect. But there was someone who filled the void. as soon as.

“This guy, Jang Young-guk, is a real idiot.”

Actor Jang Young-guk had a very high level of understanding of directing despite his young age. I had heard rumors about it, but I had no idea it was to this extent.

It was like the skill of an old master to occasionally give advice to Kim Woo-hyung, who was thinking about directing at the filming site.

He is even more adept at resolving problems that arise among supporting actors.

As a joke, it is said that although class society has disappeared since the Joseon Dynasty, class still exists on set.

It was as if there was an invisible wall between the lead and supporting actors.

However, England seems to be able to cross that barrier without any problems and gets along well with the supporting actors.

“It’s fascinating.”

“Director, what’s so interesting?”

“omg... ... !”

This was when cinematographer Park Seong-jin was touching the tip of his chin and muttering to himself. Isn’t England right in front of us, without knowing when it’s coming?

“It’s a surprise, Actor Jang. “Let’s make some noise.”

“I said hello to you several times, but the director didn’t hear you. You seemed lost in your thoughts as you stared into the distant sky. What are you thinking so hard about? Maybe a woman... “

“No, what...” ... !”

“Director, you should get married quickly too. If you continue like this, you will become an old man instead of an old bachelor. Or should I just let Ojakgyo go? “The owner of the beauty salon I often go to in Seoul.”

“This guy is real!”

When Park Seong-jin makes a loud noise, England appears to run away, waving his hands.

How did this happen? Park Seong-jin was famous for his charisma on set.

Not only the actors but also the PDs found it so difficult to talk to themselves that people even called him cold-blooded within the broadcasting station.

But somehow, in the filming of this drama, no one is afraid of him. From the new producer who constantly talks back to the young actor who makes fun of him.

But for some reason, I don’t hate those things.
