by adminBefore we knew it, the rain near the food stall had stopped.
“….”
However, the silence surrounding the entire filming location hadn’t lifted. Actors, staff, related personnel… despite the large number of people gathered, no one carelessly made a sound.
That was the kind of impact the food stall scene shoot had.
How long had the silence lasted?
Although there was no sound on the surface, their minds were racing faster than ever. To say it was noisy would be an understatement. It was complete chaos.
The supporting actors replayed the scene they had just witnessed. They had seen Sua’s performance up close.
‘…Come to think of it, I didn’t feel any awkwardness at all while she was acting. A gang leader? It suited her perfectly! If anything, I felt a sense of spirit from her throughout the performance.’
The thoughts of the related personnel weren’t much different.
‘She definitely understood the role of Im Su-hee properly. Doesn’t this mean we don’t have to worry?’
‘It seemed like a bluff, but in the end, there was a good reason for it. This is definitely going to work. I understand why we’re filming the climax scene right away, too. She’s finished preparing.’
Just like the current of a river flowing in a fixed direction, their thoughts flowed in a consistent direction as well.
It was a direction of admiring and having expectations for Sua.
Also, all doubts about “Can a woman, Sua, play a gang leader?” were completely resolved. Not a single person among them felt any discomfort.
Hope began to sprout in the minds of the related personnel.
‘Maybe we can pull off a *’Lie, Lie, Lie’* climax scene on the level of Special Task Force 808? Then how huge of a hit would it be?’
Meanwhile.
“Wow…”
The actors who played the main roles in *’Lie, Lie, Lie’*, not the related personnel, began to speak up one by one. The feeling was unique.
“Her emotional acting is no joke.”
Their admiration was bound to be much greater than that of the related personnel or staff. Why? Because they, too, were humans who made a living as actors.
Thanks to having risked their lives for acting, they could feel it deeply. That’s not something you can easily do. To the point where you feel like you couldn’t do it even after years of trying.
“Were the soju glasses made by hardening sugar?”
“That’s right. Of course, they weren’t real glass.”
“She didn’t actually chew on real glass, but how does she do that kind of acting? My mouth hurt just watching. Wow, and that expression of suppressing anger with her veins popping out…”
“It’s crazy. She wasn’t even a cast member who signed on from the beginning.”
Strictly speaking, Sua is a *’rolling stone’*. That was why they were shocked. It was a performance that was hard to believe she had prepared in such a hurry. To the point where they felt a sense of crisis.
“…If this goes on the screen as it is, will the audience even remember our faces? That’s how I feel right now. I can’t remember anyone but Sua.”
“And her chemistry with Yeon-joo is so good. I heard it’s been good since the short film, and it’s true. It doesn’t make sense.”
The filming location was finally starting to become noisy.
But Sua, of all people…
“….”
…was still only looking at Yeon-joo.
The fact that Yeon-joo’s fingers had trembled was only for a fleeting moment, but Sua couldn’t forget it. Now that she thought about it, she thought Yeon-joo *unnie* was similar to Park Si-yeon.
‘…She doesn’t look relaxed at all.’
Seo Yeon-joo has a smile that makes her eyes crinkle.
She’s pretty and elegant. In the past, that’s all she would have thought. Even others didn’t see Yeon-joo’s expression as a problem. Because it would only look good.
But Sua was different now.
‘After experiencing Im Su-hee, I can feel it for sure. Yeon-joo *unnie* is… she’s not smiling because she has a reason to smile. She’s just smiling because she has to smile. What should I do?’
Looking at it now, she was similar to the character of Im Su-hee.
She had been watching Yeon-joo closely with familiarity, so she could feel all the subtle differences, but nothing came to mind on how to solve it. It was driving her crazy with frustration.
Im Su-hee, who recognized the problem but couldn’t do anything because all she knew how to do was act like a gangster, Sua was the same. All she knew how to do was act with her special forces training.
So, the current situation was an important task for Sua as well. How and what to do for her precious person.
Sua’s expression naturally became serious.
And those who saw that expression began to misunderstand as they pleased. It was true that she had a face with a story, after all.
The assistant director stared intently at Sua.
‘She’s a rising star, a rising star indeed! She’s a monster!’
He was the director of photography, the person who had checked Sua’s appearance on camera the fastest. Sua’s appearance on screen was none other than Im Su-hee.
‘She didn’t have much time to prepare, did she? But it’s like she’s been in organized crime for 20 years. Her eyes, habits, tact… everything is ingrained in her body. Does she have a gangster in her family or among her acquaintances? How is that possible?’
Sua’s acting skills had already been confirmed through the short film and Special Task Force 808, but the director of photography was very surprised by the ‘details’. He thought she was a real gangster.
‘Was there a detailed explanation in the script? I don’t think so? The only description was a vague explanation that her identity was a gangster. How could she study that so deeply….’
Usually, new actors constantly visit the staff with the script. To confirm whether their interpretation of the role is correct.
Does this character have any habits, will they act like this in this situation, do they often make this expression…?
Sua doesn’t have that.
She comes to a conclusion on her own without asking anyone for their opinion, and even that answer is so excellent that it convinces everyone. The more you look at it piece by piece, the more surprising parts there are.
Why, even just looking at her serious expression now.
‘Everyone is admiring and in a festive mood, but she’s the only one who’s serious. Is this nothing to her? She really has the perfect climax in her head.’
He became afraid. What kind of scene will come out?
Sua, of all people, felt like her head was about to explode.
‘What can I do for the rating of the work, and what can I do for Yeon-joo *unnie*? I need a way to save both at once. Otherwise….’
*Pajik─! Pajik─!*
At that moment when her brain was being overloaded like crazy.
“Okay! The food stall scene is a cut! It couldn’t be better!”
Director Park Moo-ryong belatedly shouted the cut sign and jumped up from his seat. His destination, moving almost as if he were running, was right in front of Sua.
“Sua-ssi! Sua-ssi!”
Soon, Director Park Moo-ryong came right up to Sua and shouted loudly. Sua, who was already overloaded, was shocked. An octopus is talking! Sua-kkiaaaak!
“…!”
Sua shook her head vigorously and came to her senses.
Whew, now her brain is cooling down a bit. What’s in front of her is not an octopus monster, but Director Park Moo-ryong. She thought she should be careful of overload. She was seeing hallucinations.
Director Park Moo-ryong shouted excitedly.
“Sua-ssi, how did you study the role of Im Su-hee to that extent? Your understanding is no joke! There wasn’t even a detailed explanation in the script!”
I experienced it once! Sua *dangdang*!
But in fact, Sua wasn’t confident. Yeah. It’s not right to say this honestly. She glossed over it appropriately.
“I just did my best.”
“All actors do their best! But Sua-ssi’s best is different! I really like it!”
Sua could feel with her whole body that Director Park Moo-ryong was very excited. The octopus, which had been white until just now, was now red and huffing and puffing.
All kinds of expectations bloomed in Park Moo-ryong’s heart.
‘If she shows this level of understanding in the food stall scene, what will she show in the climax scene? Special Task Force 808 is no longer someone else’s story. I can get such a climax too!’
He was struggling to keep the rising feelings buried in his heart. The urge to blurt it out right away was great.
‘I heard she only participates in works she loves, so she must love my work. So she can study it deeply in a short time…. I’m very touched.’
Park Moo-ryong opened his mouth gladly.
“Sua-ssi, if you’re ready, let’s go to the next scene right away. This time, it’s the scene with Im Su-hee and the gang members.”
“Yes. Of course, I’m ready.”
Sua nodded and thought.
‘If I show a half-hearted side, Yeon-joo *unnie*’s motivation will be further dampened. Let’s do our best for now.’
And one more thing.
‘…My head has been tingling since a while ago. I feel like I’ll see the answer if I play Im Su-hee a little more.’
For this reason, Sua’s body was even more fired up.
She had to play Im Su-hee right away. That way, she wouldn’t miss the inspiration that was flickering now. She had to take one step further to solve the current situation.
Sua urged the director.
“Director-nim, hurry up.”
“Ah, of course! Hey! Everyone, get ready!”
Director Park Moo-ryong and the staff didn’t know Sua’s situation, so they were impressed as they pleased. Their morale also soared. It just seemed like Sua loved the work and was impatient.
It was up to the actors who would be filming together to be shocked.
“Huh? The next scene right away? We haven’t rested enough?”
“Ah, I’m still not relaxed enough….”
“You better just follow along quietly? That’s what Sua-ssi, who just filmed the food stall scene, said. We’re better off because we rested for a while.”
“She’s not human. She’s a monster, a monster….”
The actors clicked their tongues and began to head to their respective places. Sua also quickly caught her emotions. The place to film this time is a junkyard with a shredder.
Director Park Moo-ryong shouted loudly.
“Ready! Action!”
.
.
.
.
.
That dawn.
Having filmed all the previous scenes and now only the climax scene left, Director Park Moo-ryong was not alone.
Sitting across from him was Seo Yeon-joo.
“I have something to tell you.”
Seo Yeon-joo parted her lips first.
Director Park Moo-ryong sensed an ominous aura. This wasn’t because he was quick-witted. It was just that the answer was written all over Seo Yeon-joo’s face.
Seo Yeon-joo’s expression was not good.
“…It doesn’t sound like good news.”
“Yes. That’s right. I came to say something I’m sorry about.”
“If it’s something you’re sorry about, wouldn’t it be better not to say it?”
“No.”
Seo Yeon-joo slowly shook her head.
“It’s least sorry thing to say now. Every minute and every second that passes, it becomes more and more something to be sorry about. So, I’ll tell you now.”
She said after a moment of silence.
“…I don’t think I can act this scene after all.”
