The Haunted Monster Actor - Chapter 64
Only Krnovel
Episode 64
Due to Jeong Ee-shin’s late attendance, the incident of not attending the reading ended up as a minor incident of tardiness.
Of course, even though it was said to be late, it was actually close to being absent.
“Actor Jeong-i Shin, I hope this kind of thing doesn’t happen again. After all, you don’t film a drama alone.”
In response to PD Jeong Geun-ho’s sharp reprimand, Jeong Yi-shin bowed her waist at a sharp angle as if measured with a ruler.
And then he turned around and bowed repeatedly to the other actors and staff.
“I am truly sorry. I will make sure that this never happens again.”
Several of the actors narrowed their eyes at the calm, polite tone of the apology.
Everyone here is a PD, a writer, and actors.
I could tell whether Jeong Ee-shin’s apology was sincere or not just by listening to her voice, even if it was a bit exaggerated.
“… … Huh, you’re really good at acting like you’re apologizing, but you’re not good at acting like you’re apologizing?”
In the end, the other actors frowned at Song Ah-jin’s whining that she couldn’t stand.
However, the actors’ frowning eyes are directed at Jeong In-shin.
Even to Hyunsoo, the way Jeong-in bent her waist and the pitch of her voice were movements that were truly robotic.
like.
‘It’s like I’m following what someone else typed… … .’
Jo In-soo, who judged that if things continued as they were, there might be a real ‘discord’ rather than just a rumor of discord, opened his mouth to Jeong I-shin.
“Okay, if you really weren’t going to attend, you wouldn’t have come in the middle of the meeting. I don’t know what personal matters you had, but we’ll talk about them later. For now, please take a seat.”
When Jo In-soo, who could be said to be the most senior actor aside from the veteran actors, personally took care of the situation, the other actors also turned their attention back to the script as if they had no choice.
Because it was the timing when Oh Yul was really starting to appear, the second half of the script reading was able to proceed normally.
And… …Jeong I-shin was indeed Jeong I-shin.
“Thank you for your hard work. And let me say this again. I sincerely apologize to everyone for what happened today.”
“… … Tsk.”
Jeong Ee-shin’s absence. No, his acting was so bad that even Song Ah-jin, who was the most excited about being late, couldn’t say anything.
“That’s cheating. How can someone of similar age have such feelings?”
After finishing the script reading and coming out, Song Ah-jin started muttering, and Kang Ji-hoon awkwardly smiled and responded.
“So even if you act so brazenly, the industry will still look out for you… …? I thought I was watching a movie in front of my eyes.”
“Wake up, Kang Ji-hoon! You’re learning too!”
Kang Ji-hoon, who noticed that Song Ah-jin was feeling uneasy, quickly changed the topic.
“Ha, but wasn’t actor Kim Hyun-soo also great?”
“What? Kim Hyun-soo is amazing?”
“Yes, that’s what I felt… … .”
“Are you saying that now? Didn’t you see it just now? Standing up to a monster like Jeong-i-shin without being pushed back at all?”
“Yes, that’s right… … . I wasn’t doubting the writer. There was a reason why actor Kim Hyun-soo was chosen for the audition.”
It was at that moment that Song Ah-jin’s cute face, which had been listening to Kang Ji-hoon’s slow speech, crumpled up fiercely.
“Ugh, this is really annoying!”
“Why are you suddenly so irritated… … Uh, where are you going, hyung?”
“Where are you going? Where are you going? You have to go practice your script!”
“Okay, then goodbye… … .”
Song Ah-jin spoke to Kang Ji-hoon with a dumbfounded expression.
“What are you doing not following me? Have you already forgotten that line you cut out during the reading? You did the same thing when you were talking to Jeong-in?”
“That, that’s it. Senior Jeong-in is so handsome… … .”
“Wake up, Kang Ji-hoon! You became an actor because you’re handsome, right? So, are you going to end up hearing fans call you a face genius again? Huh? Are you going to be pushed aside by those monsters with that handsome face and end up being a loser?”
“Let’s go… Let’s go now.”

The tea time appointment with Lee Jin-soo was postponed to sort out the chaotic atmosphere caused by Jeong Ee-shin’s almost punk-like lateness.
And in fact, Hyunsoo didn’t have time to even drink tea.
On the way out after the script reading, Hyun-soo’s head was filled with thoughts of ‘Oh Yul’s acting.’
I’m talking about Oh Yul, played by Hyun-soo himself, not Jeong-in.
‘The moment when I was reading Oh Yul’s lines.’
The presence of a musician appeared in Hyunsoo’s mind.
Of course, when acting as Ji Yu-han, he makes good use of the presence of musicians.
But it’s definitely different from that time.
‘Something was different.’
The presence of the musician felt when acting as Oh Yul was different from that felt when acting as Ji Yu-han.
‘A large, black hole. The being curled up inside was definitely… … .’
“He was a musician.”
Ji Yu-han, played by Hyun-soo, is based on the image of a musician standing on a splendidly shining stage.
Until now, I thought that was all there was to the dream of becoming a musician.
‘That wasn’t all?’
“It’s clear that I’m missing something… … .”
As he was leaving the studio, thinking about the existence of musicians, someone called out to Hyun-soo.
“Actor Kim Hyun-soo.”
“Ah, senior.”
The person who called Hyun-soo was none other than actor Jung Yi-shin, the one who had thrown the entire studio into chaos since this morning.
“You haven’t left yet?”
Jeong Eui-shin nodded and answered.
“I’m the latest to arrive. I’m on my way here to apologize to the production staff.”
“okay.”
‘… … If it’s the same kind of apology as before, it would be worse than not apologizing at all.’
“And, I was waiting because I wanted to apologize to actor Kim Hyun-soo.”
“Huh? If it’s an apology, then at the script reading earlier… … .”
“I heard you reading Oh Yul’s lines in front of the reading room earlier.”
“Yes. Somehow, I ended up filling in for you for a while… … .”
“The tone is very interesting. If you don’t mind, may I ask how you interpret the character ‘Oh Yul’?”
In Jeong-i-shin’s face as he spoke like that, Hyun-soo saw for the first time something that could be called an ‘expression’.
There was a sense of obsession in the eyes that stared at me intently.
That’s right, it’s the obsession with ‘acting’.
‘Not an apology… … This was the goal.’
Hyunsoo swallowed a bitter smile inside.
I think I’m starting to get a feel for what kind of person actor Jeong In-shin is.
Anyway, if it’s a discussion about acting, Hyunsoo is more than welcome.
This was especially true for Jeong Yi-shin, who played the role of Oh Yul, the polar opposite of the character Ji Yu-han.
Just now, Hyunsoo was thinking about the character Oh Yul.
Hyunsoo talked about what he usually thought about the character Oh Yul.
“I think Oh Yul is a character with a dual personality.”
Jeong-in Shin’s eyes lit up when she heard the word ‘dual’ and waited for Hyun-soo’s next words.
“I think he is both Jiyuhan and Rising Dive’s biggest supporter and antagonist. Therefore, he is the biggest mountain that Jiyuhan has to overcome, and also the most important device that gives him a three-dimensional feel… … .”
For a moment, disappointment appeared in Jeong-i Shin’s eyes.
“So, Oh Yul is Ji Yu-han’s mentor and antagonist at the same time?”
And then he bit his lip slightly as he continued.
“Do you think that Oh Yul… is Ji Yu-han’s enemy?”
“To be more precise, from an adversary to an ally… … .”
“But how can you act like that?”
That was when.
Jeong-in suddenly started muttering to himself like a different person.
“It wasn’t properly established until the audition. But the acting earlier was clearly an ‘interpretation’ of mine. Mentor? Antagonist? How can you use such expressions? Isn’t that an interpretation, but a superficial understanding? Haven’t you figured out yet that it’s ‘dual’ and not ‘duality’? I really can’t understand it.”
“… … ?”
A muttering that was almost half-incomprehensible.
Hyunsoo stared blankly at Jeong-i-shin’s muttering that would not end easily, and then suddenly realized one thing.
The Jeong-in in front of us is… … an actor who has never once been excluded from the description of a ‘genius’ since he first started acting as a child actor.
And some of those ‘geniuses’ are the owners of eccentricities that are difficult for ordinary people to understand.
‘I guess I understand why Jeong In-shin is always under the spotlight of the media.’
Rumors of discord with the production staff that follows Jeong Ee-shin around and top star disease.
The fact that he sat down in the empty seat in front of me at the first audition, the fact that he showed no sign of apology for being late for an important script reading, and even the fact that he stood in front of me like this and muttered to himself for quite some time.
Yes, that’s right.
In a word, Jeong Eui-shin was a person who lacked a bit of ‘sociality’ compared to ordinary people.
‘… Was this the reason why he didn’t have many works compared to his outstanding looks, long career, and acting skills?’
Jeong-i-shin, who had been muttering to herself for a while, opened her mouth to Hyun-soo.
“Actor Kim Hyun-soo.”
“Yes, go ahead, senior.”
“Is that acting from earlier really done by actor Kim Hyun-soo himself?”
“… … .”
Strictly speaking, Hyun-soo did not act as Oh-yul.
It was just that, while lightly reading the lines, the existence of a ‘musician’ suddenly popped out.
Surprisingly, Jeong-in Shin was able to see through Hyun-soo’s condition simply by ‘interpreting’ his acting tone.
“By any chance, did you show the script to someone and get some lessons from them… … .”
“That has never happened.”
“then.”
“… … ?”
Soon, Jeong-i Shin took something out of her bosom and held out Hyun-soo.
“Please tell me your phone number.”
… … I feel like I’ve experienced this situation somewhere recently?

Although the first script reading of “Nineties Dive” was quite eventful, the results were a huge success.
From the day the reading ended, the main articles of Internet entertainment journals were filled with news about the script reading.
[Kim Hyun-soo vs. Jeong Yi-shin, Nineties Dive script reading scene revealed for the first time.]
[Kim Hyun-soo and Jeong Yi-shin. And Song Ah-jin and Kang Ji-hoon? Nineties Dive, super luxurious casting!]
[Jung Ee-shin shows passion for the work by participating in the late script reading despite scheduling issues.]
And, Woo Ji-yoon’s plan(?) hit the mark.
At the very top of the main page of the Internet entertainment news, where numerous articles were listed, was a picture of none other than Kim Hyun-soo, as big as a door.
[Kim Hyun-soo, who was invited by Khan, gets wings called Choi Ui-jeong.]
The effect of promoting “Torso on the Blue” and “Nineties Dive” at the same time is basic.
As soon as the news spread that Hyunsoo had been invited to Khan, the public naturally began to pay attention to Kim Hyunsoo’s next move.
“Yes, this is now—!”
In the approximately one month between the end of the script reading and the start of full-scale filming, a world-class film festival is held in a small town in the south of France.
“This is France, where one of the three most prestigious international film festivals in the world, the ‘Cannes Film Festival’, is held—! As you can see, film lovers from all over the world have gathered here, and the atmosphere is very hot! And I, Yeongrang, the honorary correspondent for ‘Good Movies’, couldn’t be left out… … Oh, actor Kim Hyun-soo? Actor Kim Hyun-soo! Over here, look over here!”
France in May, when the red carpet is laid out.
Hyunsoo was there too.
