Reading (3)
Since arriving at the condo, Kang Woo-jin’s heart has been pounding non-stop. The tension soared to an extreme. Is this where I should be? I also wanted to. I was thrown into an unfamiliar place so quickly that I had no time to get used to it.
Woojin tried to keep a straight face, but inside he was in a war zone.
‘calm down. Don’t be scared, are we all the same? I am confident, I am strong.’
Because they were using mind control like crazy to cover up their small-citizen nature.
The good news is that
“Hong Hye-yeon, when was this project confirmed for you??”
All the actors who recognize top actress Hong Hye-yeon and approach her don’t even care about Kang Woo-jin. It was strange to recognize it.
Thanks to.
‘I have to hide behind Hong Hye-yeon.’
I bought time. Kang Woo-jin used Hong Hye-yeon as a shield and quietly concentrated on deep breathing. In a way, this condo was a key location in Woojin’s concept. Hundreds of eyes can see.
‘It’s all a bit difficult when it comes to acting.’
Because a group of veterans gathered together. We’ve maintained the concept well so far, but if it falls apart, everything literally goes back to square one.
So I had to be more agile than usual.
‘Aww- Mr. ‘Facial expression management, facial expression management.’
To be honest, at this moment, with the script reading just around the corner, Kang Woo-jin was betting his life on ‘concept’ rather than ‘acting’. It was around this time.
“Hong Hye-yeon, are you going to have a party after reading today?”
At the entrance of the large hall, a tall and handsome actor approached Hong Hye-yeon. As soon as she saw him, she recognized Woojin immediately.
‘Ah, Ryu Jeong-min. ‘You look so handsome.’
It’s Ryu Jeong-min, the male lead from ‘Profiler Hanryang’ who I only saw in articles. I saw many actors along the way, but Ryu Jung-min’s force was truly unique. It was at this time that Ryu Jung-min brought up a story about Kang Woo-jin, who was right next to him.
“Hey, have you seen the actor who plays Assistant Manager Park?”
Woojin almost raised his hand without realizing it. I barely tolerated it.
‘The actor is here, right in front of you.’
the problem is.
“Oh, this manager seems to like the mask, doesn’t he? “You look handsome.”
Ryu Jeong-min suddenly became interested in Kang Woo-jin. Woojin immediately tells him that he is Hong Hye-yeon’s manager. What is it? Why are you mistaking it? However, Woojin focused on the compliment that came from Ryu Jung-min’s mouth: ‘You’re handsome.’
‘crazy. ‘I almost laughed.’
People’s boyfriend Ryu Jung-min is said to be handsome, so even if it’s just empty words, he should dance on his shoulders. But it doesn’t end there, Ryu Jung-min takes a step closer to Woojin and talks to him.
“Try being a real actor. “It’s because I miss her face.”
Ah, but this guy is really handsome. It was even more so when I saw it up close. A face that can easily handle long hair. Even if a man looks at it, it looks neat, but if a woman looks at it, it goes crazy. Kang Woo-jin silently admired Ryu Jeong-min’s face without realizing it. No, I fell into it.
“······”
Then Ryu Jeong-min arbitrarily recited to Hong Hye-yeon.
“This person is chic. There’s an atmosphere. No, are you nervous? “Are you new?”
It was a misunderstanding. Wow, this was really unintentional. At this time, familiar people appeared at the entrance of the hall. It was producer Song Man-woo and writer Park Eun-mi, and Ryu Jeong-min walks away while saying hello to Hong Hye-yeon.
Following.
“Mr. Woojin.”
Hong Hye-yeon slapped Kang Woo-jin on the shoulder and pointed to the middle of the M-shaped desk.
“That’s popular star Assistant Manager Park’s seat. Well, I’m not nervous, but don’t be scared.”
no? I’m so nervous as hell. Woojin let out a long, inconspicuous breath. And then I checked the middle seat she told me about. The role chart for the role of ‘Daeri Park’ can be seen among the actors who are said to be great.
-Sigh.
Eventually, Woojin moved on. To permeate among hundreds of people. His heart, which had calmed down, is beating again. My heart feels like it will explode.
‘Wow, it’s going to spin.’
Woojin felt his fingertips tremble slightly as he experienced this for the first time in his life. But now there is no going back. And what needs to be done is decided.
Mind control for bravado.
Kang Woo-jin walked while reciting a spell one step at a time. Fortunately, no one in the hall cared about Woojin. When Woojin arrived at Assistant Manager Park Station with such difficulty.
“PD, ah-what on earth is this? There is no actor named Park Dae-ri. “Are you sure you’re not coming?”
“You came?”
Producer Song Man-woo smiled and nodded while looking at Woojin. This moment.
-Sigh.
The eyes of over a hundred people in the hall were focused on Kang Woo-jin. Wow, wait a minute. Woojin froze. The eyes of dozens of actors, the actors’ managers whispering, reporters tilting their heads, etc.
More than 100 people are looking for an answer from Kang Woo-jin.
Who are you?
Kang Woo-jin’s body and mind turned as white as a sheet of paper. The funny thing is, in this situation where reason was lost, there was one clear command from the brain.
‘I don’t fucking know.’
Concept quality. Go straight. Without any details, one thing was clear. It’s scary because his habits are like this. So Woojin was able to purely pursue that and make a ruthless expression as he glanced at everyone who saw him.
That’s a few seconds.
Woojin gradually regains his senses.
‘Ah, introduce yourself.’
He spoke in a low voice.
“Hello, this is Kang Woo-jin, who plays the role of ‘Deputy Park’.”
Soon, the gigantic hall, which had been filled with mugwort, became quiet. The atmosphere is somewhat strange. First of all, Kang Woo-jin felt like he needed to sit down, so he pulled out a chair.
-Drop.
In this huge reading room, the only sound was the sound of Woojin pulling out his chair.
“······”
“······”
That increased concentration. Famous veteran actors with bright eyes, female actors who are popular in entertainment shows, male actors whose recent movies were successful, actors whose faces you know but whose names you do not know, etc.
‘Oh, stop looking. ‘I’m nervous.’
Woojin glanced at one of the actors and muttered to himself.
‘Oh, I bought padding after seeing the advertisement filmed by that actor.’
Hong Hye-yeon, who was in the front seat, twitched the corner of her mouth. She seems to be holding back laughter. Male lead Ryu Jeong-min’s eyes are still wide as he looks at Woo-jin. A very absurd expression.
Anyway, the hundred or so people in the hall were shocked in a different way.
Because an actor I had never heard of sat in for the highly anticipated role of ‘Deputy Park’. In fact, to everyone, Kang Woo-jin was no different from an ordinary person. So, it was natural for everyone in the cast to have a face that they couldn’t understand.
This also applies to reporters and managers who came to the script reading.
About that time.
“now.”
Producer Song Man-woo broke the silence in the hall.
“The actor who plays Assistant Manager Park, whom everyone was so curious about, Mr. Kang Woo-jin. “Did you say hello?”
It was only at this time that everyone’s attention, which had been focused on Kang Woo-jin, was taken away. Woojin let out a subtle sigh of relief, and producer Song Manwoo continued the script reading.
“A detailed introduction will be given in the reading. “Let’s all open the first part of the script.”
-Palak, palak.
Soon, the embarrassed actors unfolded the script in a blur. At the same time, he glanced at Woojin and made a fuss.
“Who is he? know?”
“No, this is my first time seeing it. cotton?”
“It’s too obscure for an unknown person. “I know a bit about theater, but I’m completely unfamiliar with it?”
Everyone is the same no matter who they are.
“Producer Song, aren’t you good at casting unknowns or newcomers?”
“So, isn’t the role of ‘Deputy Park’ a semi-supporting role? Did you do it anonymously? “That’s awesome.”
Of course, the actors sitting around Kang Woo-jin also said hello.
“Nice to meet you, Kang Woo-jin? “Did you do a play?”
“Hello, I didn’t play.”
“You have a nice voice, is this your first work?”
“yes. “This is my first work.”
Kang Woo-jin pretended to be solemn. Since he knew nothing, his answer had to be as short as possible. However, this was evaluated differently by the actors around him.
“What, why is your reaction so stiff? “Aren’t you already suffering from star disease?”
“The mask is pretty good, but isn’t that kind of personality?”
“To be honest, I had some expectations from ‘Director Park’, but I think the acting itself will be a bit dull.”
“Still, PD Song has you sit down, so why don’t you do the basics?”
“As long as you do the basics, it doesn’t matter.”
At this point, in the words of producer Song Man-woo.
“Let’s start with an introduction.”
Script reading began in earnest.
After a while.
From the introduction of the director to the introduction of the actors, it went around in a circle. Although there was a lot of chatter during Kang Woo-jin’s introduction, the introduction time ended without difficulty.
The reading started with producer Song Man-woo’s fingerprint.
“S#1. In the mountains, morning. “The police are lined up in the mountains.”
‘Profiler Hanryang’ was a story from 2010.
Although the writing has not yet been completed, the plan was to compile a total of four episodes into four episodes each and run up to Part 16. Among them, ‘Deputy Park’ was the main character in the first episode. He was also a character who penetrated the theme of the entire play and opened the lid properly.
In the first scene, the body of a man in his 50s is found in the mountain.
Here, the male lead, Ryu Jeong-min, appears. His role was profiler ‘Yoo Ji-hyung’. According to the setting, he has the brains of a genius, but his nature is limited, so he is called Yu Han-ryang.
Yu Han-ryang appears and speaks.
“Ah, the condition of the body is not very good. “I came after eating breakfast.”
Hong Hye-yeon appears next. She played the role of Jeong Yeon-hee, a passionate detective. By default, she was an evil detective who chased after someone to death once they were bitten.
As soon as Jeong Hyun-hee sees Yu Ji-hyung, she frowns.
“Why did Yu Hanryang come out? “Is there anyone else?”
“Because there aren’t many profilers across the country? What would Detective Jeong do? “I’ll go and have some dessert.”
“H-that’s ridiculous.”
The two bicker as if they already knew each other. Other actors join in, leaving the male corpse behind. The reading atmosphere becomes boring immediately. Actors who claim to be good at acting exchange lines that they have analyzed in their own way.
“What is the estimated time of death?”
“It feels like last night.”
“What are those red things on your fingernails?”
“It’s nail polish.”
“manicure? “What is this guy’s hobby?”
All of the actors continue their acting in a trance. Although it is reading, the concentration is thick. but.
‘hmm-‘
Kang Woo-jin was tilting his head inconspicuously while watching the actors’ acting.
‘That actor. I think I just said some lines roughly.’
From his perspective, this was not a reading room, but the world of Part 1 of ‘Profiler Hanryang’ was unfolding. He was Kang Woo-jin, who had already experienced the life of each role firsthand. The role I spoke to just before, the role I am reciting now, and the role I am preparing to speak.
In fact, he was capable of the most explicit acting of any actor in this reading.
‘No, I have to emphasize it there. Are you anxious? ‘Why do you say your lines so boringly?’
just as expected.
“Taesan, your lines just now were dull. “Let’s put some emphasis on it.”
Just as Kang Woo-jin was secretly disappointed, producer Song Man-woo calmly pointed out to the actor. Woojin internally reacted to this.
‘Look at this. ‘That actor’s expressions were a bit strange from the beginning.’
At the same time, writer Park Eun-mi of Hair Band Chan scolded Jang Tae-san, who played the sub-lead role.
“Taesan, you analyzed the character properly, right? “I don’t know why I feel so weak.”
“…Sorry, I analyzed it a little differently. “I will do it right.”
Everything was as Kang Woo-jin thought. Of course, the female role is unknown. However, the role of Assistant Manager Park did not have much to do with being played with a large male role. Kang Woo-jin, who maintains a poker face, is full of tension, but he has learned to secretly enjoy reading.
Comparing the acting performed by actors with your own experience. Sometimes I wanted to jump in and show off.
‘That’s not how you do it. ‘I almost said that.’
What can I say, it feels like quietly hiding and playing in the dirt during the playground assembly? Here, Woojin suddenly felt something. Oh, does this mean greed for roles? Meanwhile, about halfway through the first part of ‘Profiler Hanryang’, a twist that shakes the play unfolds.
It started with profiler Yoo Ji-hyung’s line.
“Let’s look at this, shall we? Red nail polish, clothes only removed from the upper body, a weapon, and a somewhat awkward posture before the murder hardens. Was there a similar method in the past? “In the middle of an unsolved case.”
It turned out that the method and method of this murder was the same as that of the serial killer who killed five bodies in the past, which is still an unsolved case. Because of this, the whole country is turned upside down. Here is the line from Yeoju Jeong Yeon-hee.
“He disappeared in 2004. But you came back after 6 years?”
“I’m not sure yet, but his skills are just right, right? “Do you feel like you made a grand comeback?”
“It sounds like a comeback. No, but why all of a sudden now?”
As we get past the middle part of Part 1, the tension in the play gradually soars. Of course, the air in the reading room is hot, perhaps because of the chemistry between the actors performing their roles.
It was at this time.
“Fade out.”
Producer Song Man-woo flipped through a page of the script and pointed to the next character.
“A quiet park. Ah, Mr. Woojin.”
Mid to late part 1. Assistant Manager Park appears.
“Assistant Manager Park’s first appearance is a solo act without an opponent, so just do it with the appropriate amount of emotion. “Just adjust the tone of the play.”
“Yes, I understand. “I will do it in moderation.”
However, Kang Woo-jin, who lacked knowledge, did not understand ‘moderately’. What kind of moderation is that guy talking about? Are you saying I should reduce my expressions by half? Or are you just doing it roughly? I don’t know, I don’t know, but Woojin came to a rough conclusion.
‘Phew – I’m nervous. Oh, I don’t know. Since you’re sitting down anyway, you should keep your movements to a minimum and express yourself properly.’
It was Woojin’s first time acting in front of more than 100 people and in a place full of actors. My heart felt like it was going to burst, but I didn’t want it to show. Pretend to be as resolute and relaxed as possible. Since I didn’t know much, it became simple. Let’s just think about the heavy Deputy Park.
I focus solely on the experiences of Assistant Manager Park that I personally saw and felt. Reduce your movements ‘moderately’.
Kang Woo-jin, who attracted everyone’s attention and attention, became Assistant Manager Park. It wasn’t that I gradually gained control of my emotions. In an instant, Kang Woo-jin’s smell changed. This wasn’t a very difficult process for Woojin.
I have read it dozens of times, experienced it, understood it, and digested it.
Suddenly, the scene before Woojin’s eyes had changed. About a hundred people disappeared, leaving a quiet park in the daytime. The hot temperature in the reading room turns into sunlight and touches your skin. The temperature was warm.
Manager Park’s expression was gentle now.
It’s not at the level of being overflowing with vitality. Kang Woo-jin was simply Assistant Manager Park. No, it doesn’t matter either way. Because there is nothing else.
-Sigh.
Assistant Manager Park raised his head. A smile spread across Assistant Manager Park’s gentle yet dry face. It was a strange expression. Her eyes were dark yet faintly bright.
It was enough to cause discomfort.
At this moment, Assistant Manager Park, who was staring somewhere into space, suddenly lost his expression. The strange smile from just before was gone. It was stiff without a single wrinkle. Why? It was a change that made you tilt your head. Assistant Manager Park laughed again. It’s a bit different from before. Just enough to show a little bit of teeth.
There is a slight gap in the visible smile.
The gap was subtle, but the meaning was hidden. There was no way the veteran actors did not know this. The actors watching Assistant Manager Park gradually opened their mouths. Because I’ve never seen an expression like that anywhere.
Hong Hye-yeon stares at Assistant Manager Park, not wanting to miss even a single thing.
‘I’m not nervous at all, I’m very relaxed. Isn’t it actually darker than before? Something seems deeper. How was part 2 put together? H-I want to see you soon.’
Writer Park Eun-mi, who created Assistant Manager Park.
‘As if to show off to all these top actors… it’s even several times clearer than before. Crazy, he really is. Are you continuing to improve??
Producer Song Man-woo, who is the general director, also has a beard.
‘I guess he doesn’t care about the stares of over a hundred people. Because my self-esteem is in the sky. Whatever it is, ah-monitor, I want to see it on the monitor right now, that’s it.’
At this time, Deputy Park lowered his head and then raised it again. Then I look at the actors. To the right, to the left. The movements are smooth yet eye-catching. The emotions that had built up made it impossible to take my eyes off him.
soon.
-Sigh.
Assistant Manager Park’s deep eyes arrived at a certain point. It was Namjoo Ryu Jeong-min, whose eyes were full of shock. No, around there to be exact. Next, Assistant Manager Park slightly tilted his head and raised the corners of his mouth in an odd way on his stiff face.
He smiles, but his eyes are static.
Killing intent and pleasure. The expectations surrounding those two things.
After staring at Ryu Jeong-min for a few seconds, Assistant Manager Park’s mouth opened slightly.
“Oh, there it is. pup.”
At this moment, Namjoo Ryu Jeong-min became the target of Assistant Manager Park.
“···Sociopath.”
When he experienced Kang Woo-jin for the first time, he muttered to himself without realizing it.
“That acting is just right?”
