The genius actor is also acting this time, Episode 131

GV, which stands for Guest Visit, is a program also called ‘conversation with the audience’, and is a time when directors, actors, film critics, etc. come out after a movie screening and tell stories or commentary about the movie.

In short, it can be seen as a time for the audience who watched the movie and the people who made the movie to talk about various things about the movie.

GV was planned with a focus on another nickname for GV, which is ‘conversation with the audience.’

The reason for not starting the GV immediately after screening the movie but leaving a 30-minute gap was also to give the audience time to sort out their own questions.

In addition, ticket reservations for the international screening of were very competitive, partly because was released on Netflix, but the event organized by GV also saw fierce ticket sales.

So, it was perhaps natural that audience participation felt close to overheating.

At first glance, in a situation like this, you would think that the people being questioned would be quite tired, but in reality, they were not at all like that.

Just as this is the only opportunity for the audience to see on the big screen and talk about with the director, writer, and actors.

This was also the only opportunity for the director, writer, and actors to see such vivid and direct audience reactions.

In other words.

This GV was an event that not only the movie viewers but also the people who made the movie were eagerly waiting for with great anticipation.

Therefore, I was able to see that they responded with a willing and sincere attitude not only to the questions they received in advance but also to the questions that arose on site.

-GV I guess it’s because it’s been such a long time that I’m excited… … I couldn’t sleep last night.

When I was worried about the dark circles around my eyes, Jaeyoung Kwon smiled shyly and said this.

Then, director Ham Jun-sik, who was next to him, asked if the writer had trouble sleeping, and nodded, saying that he did too.

Now that I think about it, Director Ham Jun-sik’s face also looked somewhat pale.

but.

Nevertheless, the eyes of the two people were shining.

That was the affection the two people had for .

Writer Kwon Jae-young and director Ham Jun-sik’s affection probably stems from a slightly different area than that of actors like Hong Min-ha and me.

Perhaps that affection was partly due to the regret of having to give up the movie theater.

So, I wanted even more to completely protect their affection, that excitement and expectation.

As the GV began and the questions and answers for continued, I thought I would be able to keep everyone’s affection and excitement.

Until it was a certain audience member’s turn.

“Yes, first of all, I enjoyed the movie. As a fan of director Ham Jun-sik and writer Kwon Jae-young, I had high expectations for this work. I felt quite happy to be able to see director Ham Jun-sik’s unique directing style in this work. Also, writer Jaeyoung Kwon used a different genre than before, and it would be a lie if he honestly said he wasn’t a bit concerned… … I’m the type of person who doesn’t even look at romance like this. But I enjoyed this movie. Thank you for your hard work.”

ah.

The audience holding the microphone was not asking questions, but making evaluations.

There was also quite a bit of self-consciousness mixed in there.

Sure enough, the audience also started whispering.

“However, I question whether the main characters should have been set as high school students. Since he was a minor wearing a school uniform, I think it was a mistake in terms of setting to perfectly express the youth romance that the author had in mind. “It was a bit uncomfortable for a student wearing a school uniform to express love.”

You speak as if you are peering into the mind of author Jaeyoung Kwon.

I have realized again and again, both in Ian Palin’s life and in this life, that wherever you go, there are bound to be rude and ignorant people.

Whether or not people frowned, the audience member continued to speak.

“Honestly, Hong Min-ha is not in a situation where she can fully focus on being an actor, so I wondered how much she would act… … .”

Should I keep listening to that bullshit?

I wanted to turn off the microphone if I could remotely control it, but that wouldn’t be possible.

In any case, for whatever reason, it was better to avoid ‘external noise’ in the work.

I glanced at Hong Min-ha sitting next to me.

Perfect poker face.

Just a professional, a professional.

I’m in my second life, and I’m good at hiding my expression because I went through all the hardships and hardships during Ian Palin’s time, but isn’t Hong Min-ha the same?

Director Ham Jun-sik and even writer Kwon Jae-young were barely managing their facial expressions by furrowing their brows or pressing down on their mouths, but Hong Min-ha was just listening to the bullshit without even the slightest agitation.

“I am responding to what you just said.”

Then he calmly refutes it.

Never angry, very nice.

When I see this side of me, I feel truly respected.

‘Look at that. There is no need to step up and give it to them. ‘You take care of it.’

Then, I suddenly remembered what Director So-Jun Lee said in the car on the way to Busan.

-Most of the audiences who come to GV are people who have a lot of affection for the work or the people involved in the work, but there are some types that it is better to filter out and listen to.

Lee So-jun listed the types that would be good to listen to one by one.

In essence, it is a crime (?) to hurt my feelings, but he is a professional inconveniencer who pretends not to do so.

A self-proclaimed critic says this movie should have been made this way.

People asking questions about things outside of movies on GV, etc.

-Wouldn’t it be better to just take the mic at that level?

Doareum was very impressed.

-It would be better not only for the people asking the question, but also for the rest of the audience, I think. It’s a complete nuisance.

Lee So-jun nodded.

-Actually, there are already precedents in some places. However, since the meaning of the event itself is mainly ‘communication with the audience’, I try not to do that, but there are often people who cross the line.

Lee So-jun talked about several cases that actually occurred at GV.

Among the examples, there was one that was the most absurd, and it seemed like Do Ah-reum had the same thoughts as me.

-Are you really asking the actor in English? Korean? Are you trying to get attention from the actor?

-There’s that, and there also seems to be a kind of superiority mentality that other audience members won’t understand.

-Wow, you really are a piece of shit. He’s a complete villain. Don’t those kids realize how strange they look? No, those kids really need to take the mic away.

I completely sympathized with Do Areum’s last words.

Now that I think about it, that audience member is a professional discomforter and self-proclaimed critic who even asks unpleasant questions that have nothing to do with the movie… … It was a collection of the types that Lee So-jun said that it is good to listen to through filters.

Well, it was a time when I thought, at least he didn’t reach the level of a villain.

What is that person doing now? … ?

I was embarrassed at first and then absurd.

That’s right too.

This is because the audience member suddenly started speaking English.

Strictly speaking, it was English with slightly incorrect grammar and pronunciation.

Anyway, not long after the audience member started speaking in English, I immediately understood his intention.

That’s what I’m telling you to listen to now.

I see you speak some English? So, you understand this basically, right? Hey, you think only you use English?

The audience looked at me intently and raised the corners of their mouths.

Not knowing that the base emotions that he couldn’t hide were pouring out.

Why on earth is he doing that?

What good is that?

With a triumphant look on his face, the audience member continued to speak.

Spouting broken English.

I was completely fed up from here.

It is incomprehensible that they are showing off their English, and even the English they are trying to show off is a mess.

It’s annoying to be clumsy, but even if the audience in question has excellent English skills, it doesn’t change anything.

The reason I don’t want to listen to that audience member is not because their English is poor, but because of their rude and dismissive attitude.

That’s not showing off, it’s rude.

When communicating with the audience, are you thinking of answering or reacting to that ridiculous rudeness that comes from a ridiculous superiority mentality so that other audience members don’t understand?

Not at all.

I quietly turned my head and looked at the interpreter in the theater.

The interpreter, who must have experienced this a few times, shook his head with a bored expression.

I nodded slightly toward the interpreter and held the microphone.

The audience’s broken English stopped for a moment.

But the words that came out of my mouth were not the English he was waiting for.

“I’m sorry, but could you please ask the question I just asked again? Oh, in Korean.”

You looked at the audience with an expression that said you had no idea what they were saying.

* * *

The story of the villain that appeared in the GV was quite a hot topic.

Seo Yi-an’s attitude in dealing with it also.

[Take a look at that clean-cut face haha]

[My friend went there and was near the villain’s spot. When Seo Yi-an asked him to ask the question again, he was elated at first, but soon realized that he couldn’t understand because his English was bad, and his face turned red.]

[He didn’t even listen to the answer properly and ran out hahahaha]

[Oh my goodness, how can I be so embarrassed?]

[Anyway, there are villains like that wherever you go]

And the story about the GV villain of posted on the Internet or SNS took the topic in another direction.

[Why are all the reactions like this?]

[Just refuting what the villain said, point by point, and grinding it down to dust haha. Hey, why do you think will be fun just by reading this?]

[Honestly, the reactions posted right after the screening were all so well-received that I felt a bit of resistance, but after reading the comments about the villain’s withdrawal, I couldn’t wait for the release date of hahaha]

“Looking at the reactions now, it doesn’t seem like there’s anything else we can do?”

“It seems so.”

When Han Joo-hee asked, Lee So-jun answered yes.

Only then does the tension disappear from Han Joo-hee’s face.

Team Seo Ian was on the radar as much as possible after the GV, fully prepared for any unexpected situation, in case Ian had a breakdown.

“Then now we can enjoy the closing ceremony in peace.”

A surprise with Seo Ian participating in the closing ceremony of the Busan International Film Festival.

It was a time when I thought all I had to do was wait.

Jiiiing- Jiiiing-

Han Joo-hee’s cell phone vibrated loudly.

However, this was not a work cell phone.

A personal cell phone that only those close to Han Joo-hee know about.

The sender was my father.
