Go Eun-hye, who plays the mother, is a top-notch supporting actress.

Because she has a face that shows both good and evil, she can easily portray anyone from an innocent country woman to a vicious mother-in-law who oppresses her daughter-in-law.

[Director Kim. Is there something that upsets you about me these days? Even though you know I like kids.]

Although the role of a cruel mother was a challenge, what Director Kim asked for was a role that abused her young son.

If it were an adult actor, I would have hit and hit him all I wanted, but I felt uncomfortable touching a child, no matter how much I was acting.

But I changed my mind after seeing the audition video that Director Kim showed me.

[I told him to just give me the lines and do it without any direction. It’s not a common opportunity to act with a kid like this.]

As an actor, I was curious.

I wonder what it would be like to work with a child actor who exudes such emotions.

‘How should I explain it? It was clearly a conference room…’

I didn’t do emotional acting well because I knew what would happen if I got lost in the role I was given.

With his level of experience and acting skills, it was enough to just imitate the role.

But while acting with the child in front of me, the surrounding scenery changed so much.

‘image…?’

A dark room with a shabby decoration and a chilly feeling.

A child who trembles with his hands on the piano keys instead of the script,

I bit my lips hard as I looked at that sight.

‘Why am I so annoyed?’

Eunhye Ko, who loved children and only said nice things, disappears.

The image of a cruel mother who somehow tries to squeeze out her child’s talent is added.

Since I didn’t fulfill my practice quota, I shouldn’t let him sleep, right?

If this happens again, should I starve you?

Would it be more effective to slap someone on the cheek instead of using a stick?

‘Oh, I’m crazy! Why am I thinking like this…?’

When I came to my senses, the child was looking at me with indifferent eyes.

Cold sweat is running down my face.

I can’t look my child in the eye properly.

‘Why did I… do something so bad…?’

.

.

.

I knew it when I saw the look in actress Ko Eun-hye’s eyes.

That’s sorry.

It might be regret.

‘If it’s acting, there’s no way you can feel those kinds of emotions.’

I’m in the exact same situation right now.

Going into the script I was abused and she was abusive.

That’s why I’m sorry and regretful.

The future prediction dragged not only me but also my opponent into the script.

The two of us showed perfect acting synergy while pouring our emotions into it.

The price is sharing the aftereffects.

*****

‘This is how it’s solved.’

I was worried about what would happen if I went into the script with my partner, but we went in together and matched the synergy.

Since both of them become the characters themselves and act together, it is inevitable that a perfect scene will emerge.

Director Kim Si-woon has his mouth hanging from his ears, and the cinematographer has a blank expression.

“The actor is scary. I thought he was going to eat the child.”

“I’m strangely immersed. I guess I should take a break from playing villains for a while.”

That was the reason why director Han Jae-ryong emphasized age and experience.

I’m still having a hard time, but actress Ko Eun-hye has returned to her original emotions.

That’s not something that can be covered up with acting skills.

It is a realm that can only be reached after going through a maturing process that takes time.

‘It’s clear now. I need a gap year.’

After this shoot is over, I plan to tell my parents what I’ve decided.

Perhaps the aftereffects could also be a signal of the future foretelling a hiatus.

It’s a signal to cower for a while for the grandeur that will come later.

“I guess today wasn’t too hard. Did what you learned help you?”

As soon as the script reading was over, the teacher came to me and asked, wondering if I was worried.

“Yes. It’s definitely better than last time. It still feels like the thread is tangled though.”

“Just standing up properly is a lot better. It’s good to see you adapting well.”

He smiles and pats my head.

“I’m more worried about senior Go Eun-hye than I am. I thought she was having a hard time.”

“He looks fine now. That guy is also a person who acts outwardly like me, but he got really emotional after a long time. I see you lit the fire.”

“Me?”

“Yeah. You can tell right away when you see the other actor acting. You shouldn’t be inferior to them, you have to receive and bounce back properly, but it seems like you keep getting pushed back… I guess he must have thought that after seeing your emotional acting.”

What I mean is that I brought out actress Ko Eun-hye’s emotional acting.

That’s not entirely wrong.

That’s what we did when we got into the script.

‘That means I can bring out not only my own emotions but also the emotions and acting skills of my partner.’

It was an unexpected ability.

Isn’t this guy really good at body, no, acting?

If used well, it can be a cheat comparable to predicting the future.

“Hey, Director Kim. I’m hungry. Let’s go quickly.”

Although it was the first company dinner, I returned home without attending.

It was Director Kim’s consideration that he knew the party would turn into a drinking party because there were so many shareholders.

“I’m sorry about today. Instead, I’ll buy you something delicious later with your senior.”

“Okay, Director. Then I’ll go in.”

I sat in the car, looking out at the scenery, lost in thought.

‘Why did it change?’

It’s a horror film with a genius pianist as the main character.

The story is about a protagonist who learns through a ghost that he is going to be killed and becomes a murderer to avoid his fate.

This is because the setting is that death must be covered with death.

The protagonist, who initially kills others to survive, becomes addicted to killing and loses his humanity.

The film ends with him killing himself, that is, committing suicide, after killing everyone he was destined to kill.

Although he avoided the fate of being murdered, it was an unsettling ending that ended in death.

Since it is a paid movie, there are often brutal scenes.

The acting was great, but the lines were confusing and the editing wasn’t smooth.

In short, it was a movie that the director put too much effort into.

The result was director Kim Si-woon’s first box office flop, despite his reputation for cost-effectiveness.

… This is the ‘Confession of a Pianist’ that I know.

I just saw the full synopsis for the first time today, not long after the final script came out.

But the movie changed a little, no, a lot.

The rating was downgraded from Age 15 to Age 15.

Thanks to the lower rating, a lot of the brutality has been toned down.

The protagonist changes from a murderer to a pursuer trying to find out why he is dying.

The genre changed from horror to an occult thriller due to the change in protagonist.

The ending was also changed to leave a lingering impression with the main character surviving until the end.

‘This is half a different movie, was there something wrong with it?’

Since I didn’t know the internal circumstances, I couldn’t even guess.

I was thinking of asking Director Kim directly, but then I thought of a suitable person.

I’m going there tomorrow, so I decided to ask after class.

The next day, Jeong Dong-ho Acting Academy —

“Teacher, I have a question.”

“Yeah, Hajin. What is it?”

“About the movie you’re filming this time. Is it true that Director Kim Si-woon wrote the screenplay?”

“That’s true, but why are you curious about that?”

“My dad is a fan of director Kim Si-woon. He said he’s seen all of his works since his debut, but he says they’re all very cruel and there’s a lot of swearing.”

“That’s true. But I don’t think it’s the case this time?”

“Yes. I saw the script and reading yesterday, and there wasn’t much cursing and I didn’t see any fighting scenes.”

The teacher looked at me without saying a word.

It’s a look of wonder.

“Did I…say something wrong?”

“No, it’s because you have good observation skills. Children your age are not good at following orders. But Hajin noticed something strange just by listening to her father.”

There’s something.

“At first, this was a paid movie. Oh, paid means… .”

“Not suitable for minors. This movie is not suitable for those under 19, right? All of Director Kim Si-woon’s movies are like that.”

“I can’t say this in front of Hajin. Why do you know so much?”

It’s because I’m 6 years old and 22 years old.

“The main character was a murderer who killed people. He was much more brutal than he is now, and there was a lot of cursing. He also gets help from a priest in the middle. There was no priest in the original scenario.”

Added while changing to occult water.

“The rating couldn’t be helped because of the production company, and the script changed a lot after Hajin saw your audition. If not, we would have started filming last month.”

“The scenario changed because of me?”

“He said he changed his mind after seeing your acting while being abused. He said the feeling of misery was so well-brought to life that he couldn’t picture changing his fate to murder.”

I talked a lot with my teacher from the time I first wrote the scenario.

Maybe it was an advisory position.

“Since I changed the main character and genre, I told them to cut out all the heavy lines. The first script they showed me was, how superficial it was… .”

Now all the questions are answered.

My audition had a huge butterfly effect that changed the movie itself.

The foresight of the future pushed me to give it a try because it wouldn’t be a box office hit.

I don’t know how successful it will be, but it won’t be the failure ending I saw in my past life.

“The child actor’s role also increased a lot. There were no flashback scenes in the middle at all.”

I got a chance to be in the spotlight even though I wasn’t the main character.

It’s more than enough as the last work before the hiatus.

*****

A few days before filming began, I had a conversation with my dad in the living room.

“Eugene, I talked to your dad more, and it definitely seems like you need an agency. Your mom is burdened with you constantly being carried around, so how about finding an agency now?”

Dad and Mom don’t know about my decision yet.

Now is the time to talk.

“Dad.”

“Yeah.”

“After I finish filming this movie… I don’t plan on acting.”
