A Genius Actor Who Brings Misfortune - Chapter 508

The genius actor who brings misfortune (508)

The final cut of the movie ‘Spider’.

I didn’t say a word during the nearly two-hour video.

He remained silent until the ending credits had finished rolling, and only opened his mouth when the lights in the room came back on.

“Well… it’s okay.”

After muttering blankly, I gasped belatedly. Oh my.

‘I made a mistake.’

Since I had just met Sergio yesterday, I couldn’t think too deeply about what I was saying.

‘You spoke too lukewarmly.’

This is the first time I’m showing the final version, and what’s the reaction?

It was a moment when I was trying to quickly resolve the situation for fear that the other person would be disappointed.

“Really?! Oh yeah!!!”

“…?”

I turned my head at the tremendous cheering.

Director Yoon clenched his fists with a face full of joy.

“It was worth it to stay in the studio for a few months. I’m so glad. Ah~! I can let go of my worries.”

“… … If someone saw me, they would think I had a violent reaction.”

What came back as a response to the absurd words I threw out was laughter.

“Don’t I know you? Isn’t the picky Lee Yeon-jae okay? If it’s not ‘not bad’ but ‘okay,’ then the game is already over. I’ll take this year’s Golden Palm Award.”

Director Yoon was excited, saying he had to prepare his acceptance speech in advance.

It was ridiculous.

‘Oh, me.’

My brother-in-law is talking.

‘Much more picky than me.’

But I didn’t contradict what the other person said, and asked if he could repeat it.

After watching it twice in a row, I was able to see the film’s intentions better.

‘It came out really well.’

Honestly, I was a little surprised.

It turned out much better than I expected.

The characters that Director Yoon and I had been constantly thinking about for months were alive and breathing in the movie.

The best part was that there was no trace of Lee Yeon-jae in the play.

‘At this point, I think I can really look forward to it.’

Until ‘Twins’, many people reacted to director Yoon Kang-yeon’s works by saying they didn’t know what message the film was trying to convey.

That’s why it received even more praise from artists, such as the Cannes International Film Festival.

On the other hand, ‘Twins’ received favorable reviews for having a clear flow and development of the film, even though it has an open ending.

But the ‘Spider’ I just saw had a more definitive message than Twins.

This meant that even the general public could watch it without getting a headache.

‘We’ll even capture popularity.’

Of course, movies shouldn’t be used only to convey messages.

After all, a work must be a work.

Even taking that into account, it was a beautiful piece of work.

‘I hope it opens soon.’

The dark and mysterious atmosphere characteristic of Director Yoon’s works and the intention that the scenario was trying to convey were well blended together overall.

Then Director Yoon asked cautiously.

“what do you think about it?”

“What is it?”

“There’s a scene where he’s strangling someone. Don’t you think it was edited well?”

I chuckled at the hesitant voice.

“Yes, it’s much better.”

“Phew, thank goodness.”

Director Yoon cleared his throat with a relieved expression.

The scene where I get strangled by Nam In-hu.

That is, it was a few months ago that there was talk of a scene where Spider-Man was strangled by the villain Choi Sung-in.

While filming the movie ‘Ilya’, Director Yoon received a phone call.

-Bokdeungi, can you call me now?

‘Yes. What’s going on?’

―I’m editing it right now, but there’s something I want to discuss with you. It’s a bit embarrassing, but… .

No matter how good the acting is, there are areas that cannot be covered without editing.

The hand that is strangling the neck is so strong that the skin is pushed away or the skin turns red, etc.

To capture these physical changes so clearly, I had to literally strangle myself.

Normally, this would be supplemented by scene transitions, additional recording, etc., but at the time of filming, Director Yoon wanted to air this unedited for more than 30 seconds.

A realistic scene without any angle changes, scene transitions, or background noise.

However, director Yoon later changed his words, saying, “I want to continue without changing scenes, but cover it up with a sound similar to tinnitus.”

-I’m sorry. I know how hard it was for you and Inhu to film.

Director Yoon apologized in an embarrassed voice.

As it was a scene that was filmed under the director’s strong insistence, it was said that there was nothing to say even if there were ten mouths.

When I was choking, I had to cover up my moans with other sounds to make it less realistic.

Considering that they intentionally filmed her choking her up to the neck to increase the realism, it didn’t make sense.

‘I wouldn’t have understood it in the past… .’

It’s different now.

So I answered without hesitation:

‘I think I should do that too.’

There is a level that can be surpassed by the word art.

Director Yoon and I at the time were unable to keep this promise.

‘Professional.’

A word used with the same meaning as professionalism and responsibility.

How far can I put myself to be professional?

‘You have to set clear standards.’

There is a limit to being greedy under the pretext of improving quality.

If your desire to act leads to acting addiction, it can cause health problems or mental exhaustion.

Contrary to the intention of wanting to act for a long time, it ends up reaching the worst ending.

‘We need to take control from now on.’

I thought about this while watching Lily Sweetie prepare the album.

How workaholism can eat away at a person.

She was much more workaholic than I thought.

As someone who was in the same position as Lily, I could understand her feelings, but when I actually saw her from the side, she seemed anxious.

‘I understand why people around me are so worried about me.’

Even though she had a career that spanned over 10 years, it was human and pitiful to see her fear that her next album might be bad.

It was certainly a good thing to not settle for the present and to move forward, but not feeling satisfied with the current state was a problem of a different level.

The effort she put into her album seemed like a kind of obsession.

I had a lot of thoughts as I watched Lily become more obsessed with her work whenever she felt anxious.

‘Can I really control my greed?’

It’s not that Lily was bad.

But it’s not like she had an ideal appearance either.

‘I want to be a good actor.’

I want to make sure that I don’t cause any inconvenience to those who work with me on the piece, and that those who view the piece don’t feel like they wasted their time watching it.

To do that, I had to practice harder and take on more daring challenges.

but….

‘I can’t let my daily life fall apart.’

This was a matter of my life.

No matter how important the work is, you must not forget that in the end, the most important thing is you.

When filming the scene of the strangulation, both Director Yoon and Nana were crazy because they had been preparing for the film for a long time.

It was only after I came to my senses that I realized I had gone too far.

Fortunately, the two reached an agreement and Nam In-hu’s consent was later obtained.

I decided to edit the scene down to tone down the intensity by covering it with artificial sounds, and looking back now, it was definitely a good choice.

‘It’s much easier to see.’

The sound was covered, so the realistic agony was slightly weakened, but the build-up was so well done that the agony was sufficiently conveyed.

My anticipation naturally grew when I saw the finished version, which was better than the first edit.

‘I hope it opens soon.’

Would Biyeon like it?

‘eww.’

I held back the urge to stomp my feet and asked quietly.

“Is this the first time you’re showing this at the Cannes Film Festival?”

“Yeah. And it’s going to be released in Korea right away.”

Spider was accepted into competition and was scheduled to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in February.

When I was with Twins, it was just Coach Yoon and I who went, but this time, Nam In-hu and In-jun had to go too.

‘I can already see that the schedule is tight.’

After the Cannes Film Festival ended and I returned to Korea, I had to work on promoting the movie.

Since the name Yoon Kang-yeon alone was enough to guarantee box office success, basic activities like stage greetings were essential, although not necessarily urgent.

Especially since this is Director Yoon’s first film in a long time, there were a lot of interviews scheduled.

‘Besides, I have to work on a collaboration song with Lily.’

The goal was to release a collaboration song with Lily around April.

It’s the busy end-of-year season for everyone, so all we can communicate with each other is email.

After all the Spider schedules were over, I had to rush back to LA to record and shoot a music video with Mia.

And then what?

‘Ilya will open it.’

The musical film Ilya will be released next summer.

Because the film cost so much to produce, the pre-promotion period alone lasted over a month.

The premiere event was very tightly scheduled, and as a solo lead role, I had to participate in several talk shows overseas.

Not only did they have to visit various overseas locations and appear on various broadcasts, they also had to produce separate content to promote Korea.

‘hmm.’

I suddenly felt anxious.

‘… … Will we be able to film this year?’

The schedule for the first half of next year is already full.

Will I be able to film a new piece during this time?

‘Hey, I don’t know.’

If we somehow manage to find some time, it might be possible. Let’s think about that when the time comes.

But there were some things that could not be put off for later.

‘This year will soon be over.’

In a few days, I will be a senior in high school.

It’s just one year until I become an adult.

But more importantly… January is just around the corner.

January is the month in which I was born.

What does this mean?

The last fan meeting of my teenage years was about to take place.

‘under.’

His eyes sparkled.

Promotion and new work, what’s important now?

The most important thing to me was that I would soon see Biyeon.

* * *

I ran straight to the company.

Team Leader Woo, whom I hadn’t seen in a long time, looked haggard.

“Team Leader, did you get some sleep?”

“Uh. Just a little while ago in the sleeping room.”

It’s already a busy year-end season, but my birthday happens to be in January, so I was even busier preparing for the fan meeting.

‘I’m sorry.’

I tried to bring as many nutritional supplements and snacks as possible.

Team Leader Woo looked too tired to be dismissed like this.

“I didn’t know raising a big star would be this hard. But what can I do? He’s my star, so I have to take care of him.”

“Don’t push yourself too hard.”

“Don’t overdo it. You worry about yourself.”

Team Leader Woo responded lightly and sat me down on the sofa.

“Did you receive the schedule from Jinbae?”

“Yes. My schedule for the first half of the year was full.”

“Right. Let’s tackle them one by one. For now, let’s start with your fan meeting.”

Last time, we planned a pop-up store and fan meeting together.

This time, instead of just holding a fan meeting, we decided to make it much bigger in scale.

“I have to work hard on my promotional work. I have to brag about this being the best domestic fan meeting ever among actors…”

Team Leader Woo muttered in front of me, but I couldn’t hear anything properly.

There was only one thought in my head.

‘I want to see you soon.’

Is it because I had the experience of standing on stage at Lily’s concert a few days ago?

My heart started pounding like crazy at the thought of my eyes filling up with smoke.

“Yeonjae, are you listening?”

“Huh? What did you say?”

“You must be the first to hold an actor fan meeting of this scale. I think many people will be surprised when they hear the location. It’s not easy to hold a fan meeting in Jamsil.”

So, I just ignored the advice to have pride.

Oh, I don’t know. Does that matter now?

‘I wish tomorrow was my birthday.’

I laughed heartily as I thought about the rain.

Hi. I miss you.
