Episode 27
“You… … are always like that.”
“What kind of diet is that?”
“Isn’t asking how it is wrong to have a conversation? If you keep doing this… … I won’t be able to see you anymore.”
“… … What kind of math is love? What have you been muttering about since earlier! Ha, enough. Let’s stop.”
“Again, it’s like that again.”
“So what on earth is that kind of thing!”
Geonhoo bursts out in frustration with a frustrated expression on his face.
I was about to add a few more words, but for a moment.
Knock knock.
Soon, he gets up from the table with a heavy face and turns away from Yuseol.
“Just take one more step from there!”
“… … If we go further?”
“Then… … it’s really over!”
Geon-hoo reluctantly turns back due to Yuseol’s threats.
What Gunhoo, with his expression of injustice, is holding in his hand is none other than… … a vibrating bell.
“No, it’s just that the food came out! Are you hungry?”
“… … .”
“Aren’t you hungry?”
“… … I’m hungry.”
“Okay, even if we fight, let’s eat and fight.”
Some of the guests who had been watching the bloody battle(?) between the two with excited expressions the whole time couldn’t hold back and started giggling.
Yuseol blinks her eyes with an embarrassed face.
“Oh, I understand. Then go first.”
“Okay, let’s go and see. Eat something delicious and fill your stomach a little, then you’ll really… … .”
“… … ?”
“I will do everything I know how… … .”
“By mobilizing them?”
“I’ll let you go, you piece of shit.”
Wheeeeeeee!
A whistling sound coming from somewhere.
Yuseol, whose face had suddenly turned pale, seemed to feel a little more relaxed even before eating.
… … Cut, okay!
“Okay!”
Today, too, the okay sign fell without fail in one cue.
The restaurant’s extras burst into laughter one by one as they watch Hyun-soo’s witty comic acting.
“Senior! How was my acting just now?”
As soon as the acting was over, Lee Seo ran over with the script.
Unlike when he was acting, this time Hyun-soo’s face showed a look of confusion.
‘How many times today is this being asked?’
I don’t know what happened over the weekend, but Seo was like this the whole time we were filming this week.
He looks to the surrounding staff and director for help, but they all just smile with a pleased expression(?) and no one even thinks of saving Hyun-soo.
“Senior, I was so nervous while receiving your lines that I thought it was amazing that you didn’t make any mistakes in your lines. Anyway, would it be better to raise the tension of your lines a little more? How was your breathing? How was it? Was it okay?”
Seo Lee, who was chattering like a little sparrow, immediately opened the script and started reading the lines of the god.
As Lee Seo read the script, which was messy with various symbols and footnotes, her eyes sparkled like an innocent child.
“It’s been like this since day one, but my acting hasn’t kept up with my senior’s, right? That’s why I practiced hard over the weekend… … Of course, I know that things won’t work out in just a few days, but whatever!”
“… … ?”
“… … Anyway, wouldn’t the second one be a little bit better?”
Hyunsoo was a fan of Suho Girl.
The Silver Carnival still has her old albums carefully displayed, which she brought in every now and then to get signed.
But strangely enough, over the past few days, Hyunsoo has been looking at Leeseo for a little while… … .
‘I never thought of myself as an idol.’
Transfer is learning.
And she is so… … as an actress.
‘It looks fun.’
The joy of acting.
Looking at Lee Seo’s appearance, Hyun Soo felt like he understood a little bit about the joy of acting that Do Seok had been talking about.
It is the desire to act better.
The next god after the one I just took.
The next scene this time.
Today is the past tomorrow.
To show better acting.
“Lee Seo.”
“yes?”
“How was my acting?”
‘I don’t think I can overcome it right away.’
In fact, the very premise of overcoming the dream seems to have been wrong in the first place.
Dreams are not something to be overcome, but something to be pursued.
It is like taking a step forward like this in front of your eyes.
“Huh? Senior, acting? Well… … .”
“… … ?”
“It was a total hit!”
Hyunsoo burst into laughter like a child.
* * *
I didn’t expect much from the beginning.
Even though he is said to possess extraordinary acting skills, Hyun-soo is still a rookie actor who has just appeared in a movie for the first time.
There, Jeon I-seo is a true rookie whose only acting experience is in small-scale plays.
‘It’s greed to expect more than a certain amount from two people.’
From the moment we cast the two people, we expected that the scene would turn out differently than intended.
So, strictly speaking, it would be okay to see the scene itself, which was different from the intention, as the director’s intention.
From the beginning, I wanted to capture the two people’s true growth on screen.
‘But… … I think something is different about both of you than last time?’
Before we knew it, all the staff members around us were holding their breath as they watched the two people acting.
The same was true for director Maeng Jong-ho.
‘I don’t know exactly which part, but… … .’
Clearly something has changed.
Even as Maeng Jong-ho sensed the changes in the two people, Geon-hoo and Yoo-seol’s summer continued.
It’s a series of dates.
#40.
Gun-hoo and Yoo-seol burst into laughter and refreshing screams while riding crude rides at a small local amusement park.
#43.
Gun-hoo drinks until he gets drunk at an antique folk tavern, and ends up being carried away by Yuseol, passed out.
#46.
While both of them were busy going to work since morning, Yuseol suddenly smiled mischievously. Soon, the two of them were taking four funny pictures of their lives in an empty booth.
#44.
Two people fight like they’re going to have a life-or-death battle over something trivial. Geon-hoo pretends not to win and gives in.
#45.
As if they had never fought before, they greeted the morning with fresh smiles in Gunhoo’s studio… (Unfortunately, since the film was aimed at a 15+ audience rating, there was no scene that everyone was expecting(?).)
“Senior! We’re doing something… … Rather than filming a movie, doesn’t it feel like we’re on a real date?”
Hyunsoo nodded at Leeseo’s words.
If Jeon Yi-seo, who was acting, felt that way, then the director’s intention was somewhat correct.
The original plan for the Summer Gods was to create an atmosphere similar to that of ordinary lovers.
The souls of the two professional actors were in the salty marinade(?), and the numerous staff members felt like their sides were about to itch even in the midsummer heat.
The same goes for the director of photography, who was filming the two with a flushed face and sweat dripping down his face.
… … Cut!
“… … In my life, this is the first time in my life that my side, rather than my arm, has been touched during a handheld(*) action. But are those two really acting? Are we going to make eye contact at this rate, man?”
It’s more common than you might think for lead actors to fall in love in real life.
What promotional tool could be more dramatic than the male and female leads in a melodrama developing a real-life romantic relationship?
Maeng Jong-ho responded with a sly smile to the words of his college classmate and photographer, Bang, with whom he had shot numerous works.
“Well, if that’s the case, I couldn’t ask for anything more as a director… … Okay, okay! Next time, let’s go to the track (*)―!”
“Okay! Next up is the track! Grip Team, please get ready quickly!”
“Team Leader Grip! I’ll ask you to do four things on the spot we saw earlier! When you’re ready, I’ll run over and grab the moving! So, what more could you ask for? What?”
Maeng Jong-ho, who was smiling incomprehensibly while looking at the master monitor, soon continued answering.
“Unfortunately, that’s not the case. Those two are total pros.”
“Pro… … ?”
“Yeah, to put it nicely, it’s professional. To put it even better… … .”
“Not bad, but better?”
“People who are crazy about acting.”
Bang Chamgam nodded with a face that seemed to understand what Maeng Jong-ho said.
“Well, who would think that was acting after seeing that? Even a veteran director like me would be mistaken, so that says it all.”
Leaving the room shots of moving and focusing on the track behind, Maeng Jong-ho’s gaze turned to Hyun-soo and Lee-seo, who were rehearsing before filming.
‘I’m learning… … I’m sure I’ll grow tremendously.’
It’s just as Maeng Jong-ho thought.
Lee Seo made the crisis her own.
No, to be more precise, there was no crisis for her in the first place.
‘He’s definitely brought the atmosphere to his side.’
A camera mounted on a track follows a man and a woman running barefoot in the rain.
Strangely enough, Yuseol is positioned at the center of the frame.
To be more precise, it is ‘pulling’.
It’s been almost a month since summer filming began.
It goes without saying that Jeon I-seo’s acting skills did not show any remarkable growth in the meantime.
Nothing special.
It was just the special presence that radiated from her that made it happen naturally.
Jeon I-seo is that kind of actor.
If you show it as it is, you are an actor who creates a scene as it is shown.
The pure charm that she possesses is a natural talent that Hyun-soo does not have.
‘No, has it already grown?’
I would like to say that it was all thanks to the director, but it was clear at a glance who was responsible for her growth.
‘The more I look at that guy, Kim Hyun-soo, the more I realize how valuable he is.’
I just thought he was a friend with a talent that shined on its own.
That is why I cast Jeon I-seo, who has an equally great ‘aura’, as my counterpart… … .
‘I think I overdid it.’
This is only his second work.
In his second work, Maeng Jong-ho couldn’t help but be surprised at the fact that he was acting while calculating the director’s intentions in just the first shoot.
But what really surprised me was what happened next.
‘I was just throwing out some words of advice… … .’
In just a few days, the fate of the smoke changed.
‘Growth, no… should I say ‘evolution’ level.’
Vivid and intense emotions tend to be transmitted to others standing nearby.
The emotional line of Geon-hoo, which has swelled as if it will swallow him up, covers Yoo-seol’s aura like a tidal wave.
Hyunsoo’s detailed acting fully fills up Yuseol’s emotions.
He didn’t swallow it, he embraced it.
‘Transfer of emotions. Are you already using that at that age?’
That’s not a level where you can call it genius or anything.
‘It came from an instinctive sense… … a true monster.’
The camera now moved in an arc(*) with the man and woman at the center.
Towards Yuseol, who was smiling as if she could suck up everything in the room.
Gunhoo got down on one knee and let out all the emotions inside him.
“Let’s get married, Yuseol.”
Yuseol answered, accepting the jewel that shone as brightly as her eyes.
“……huh!”
Summer filming is over.
It was also the last for Geon-hoo and Yuseol.
