Chapter 6

Filming a drama largely goes by three phases.

Pre-production, which prepares for video manufacturing, Manufacturing, which entails precise filming, and Submit-production, which carries out post-production work on the video.

Amongst them, I got here to the broadcasting station to do a ‘studying’, which could be stated to be the ultimate preparation earlier than beginning full-scale manufacturing.

“It’s so huge…”

That is my first time visiting a BDD broadcasting station.

I didn’t comprehend it was this huge after I noticed it on TV, however after I really obtained right here, it was enormous.

What’s a BDD broadcasting station? It’s a broadcasting station that presents Korea’s greatest dramas to the general public yearly.

A spot the place not solely the PD and manufacturing crew are extremely expert, but in addition actors who win roles by fierce competitors.

I nonetheless couldn’t imagine that I used to be making my drama debut right here.

“Hehe… let’s do effectively.”

There isn’t a lot for me to do at immediately’s script studying.

Actually, it could be true that there’s nothing.

My traces are on the stage of a brief position, so if it was initially a special work, I wouldn’t have been invited to this place. Nevertheless, maybe as a result of that is Producer Kim Mansoo’s debut work, he invited as many actors as potential to the studying.

Because of him, I additionally had the chance to come back right here.

Anyway.

‘You requested me to name you after I arrived, proper?’

I picked up my cellular phone and known as AD Kang Heeyeon.

The telephone obtained related after some time.

[Hello?]

A loud feminine voice was heard.

That is my first time listening to her voice on the telephone, as we’ve solely communicated together with her by textual content messages to this point.

“Whats up, AD! “That is Kang Jinseok!”

[Ah yes! Have you arrived?]

“Sure. I’m on the entrance of the broadcasting station. “The place ought to I’m going?”

[It’s the 14th floor… You probably won’t be able to get in or out. I will go to the entrance. wait a minute!]

After hanging up the telephone and ready for some time, somebody got here operating in from afar, panting.

A girl with shoulder-length brief hair tied tightly. The worker ID card hanging round her neck was shaking backwards and forwards.

Though it was my first time seeing her, for some cause she gave the impression to be Kang Heeyeon AD.

As I anticipated, the lady checked out me and waved her hand.

“Jinseok Kang!”

“Oh, sure, hiya. good to see you. “I’m Kang Jinseok.”

Nod.

I bowed greater than 90 levels, however nearer to 100 levels. It was ‘ make first impression’ that the fellows at my part-time job taught me.

‘They stated that even when they’ve a scary face like outdated males should you greet them like this, everybody will take a look at you kindly.’

The knowledge of life gained whereas residing on this peaceable society with these menacing faces was credible sufficient.

Nevertheless, AD Kang Heeyeon, who noticed me greeting, spoke urgently with a fairly embarrassed expression.

“Go on, Jinseok Kang, you don’t must greet me like that. “I’m additionally the youngest member who simply joined the corporate.”

“?”

“And nowadays, producers and administrators don’t obtain such harsh greetings.”

The entire time she was talking, Kang Heeyeon was observing her environment.

“Let’s go inside first!”

***

I adopted Kang Heeyeon, who was main the best way and entered the broadcasting station.

Kang Heeyeon, who had been strolling in silence, out of the blue spoke.

“Oh, by the best way, I watched the actor’s audition video earlier. “You’re actually good at performing.”

“Sure? Ah sure. thanks.”

‘Audition video… ‘I assume everybody has seen it.’

Possibly it’s pure. As a result of we have to know the extent of ability of the ‘newcomer’ who will seem within the work.

Kang Heeyeon continued talking.

“Sure. And I additionally watched all the online dramas you appeared in earlier than. You acted effectively there too, proper? The story is enjoyable too.”

It isn’t uncommon for the manufacturing staff to look into different works of actors.

Nevertheless, it’s troublesome to observe a video of a rookie, even one which has solely about 60,000 views, with out some stage of ardour.

As I stated, Kang Heeyeon, the ‘youngest’, you should have numerous work to do.

“Thanks to your exhausting work.”

“Oh my! You don’t must be too well mannered. “I’m actually the youngest.”

Though Kang Heeyeon spoke as if she felt burdened, her voice sounded fairly nice.

A short time later we arrived on the convention room.

There was an indication on the door that stated, “Dream of the Solar Rising.”

“Come on in!”

“Sure!”

Once I opened the door and entered, a number of folks had been sitting inside. Somebody was trying on the script, somebody was twiddling with the digicam.

“Sure. And you’ll simply ignore this man’s nonsense. “I’m excited to fulfill a brand new particular person after a very long time…”

“Take a look at what he’s saying. Mr. Jinseok, simply ignore that man. A senior who’s just like the sky is doing effectively nowadays…”

The 2 spoke with out hesitation, questioning if their relationship was good. Lee Narin, who was quietly listening to the dialog between the 2, sighed and shook her head as if she felt pathetic.

“Aren’t you embarrassed, seniors? How are you going to each act like that in entrance of a rookie?”

She complained to me.

“I’d recognize it should you didn’t deal with me like the identical particular person as these idiots as a result of I got here with them. I’m Lee Narin. Please take excellent care of me.”

Lee Narin.

She is an actress who debuted about 5 years in the past. She has a novel aristocratic air, and her dry however smooth voice is enticing.

That’s why she is the primary alternative for commercials… Now that I’ve really heard it, you actually have a pleasant voice…

“I’m Kang Jin-seok! I’ll do my greatest!”

Assembly the actors I had solely seen on display screen in actual life made me notice that filming was about to start.

After some time, extra actors got here in and the studying room began to get crowded.

I went as much as every of them and stated hiya. The primary time it was troublesome to say hiya, however the second time it was straightforward.

Fortuitously, all of them appear to be good folks.

At the moment, producer Kim Mansoo took the microphone on the entrance of the convention room.

“Ahh, mic check hut two three 4. “That sounds good.”

Then he regarded round on the folks and continued talking.

“As you all know, I wish to formally welcome you. “That is PD Kim Mansoo.”

Clap clap clap.

“To begin with, I wish to thank everybody for willingly collaborating on this work. “It’s only my debut work, however I’m each excited and burdened by the gathering of such nice folks.”

Producer Kim Mansoo first launched the crew. From cinematographer Eom Hyeryeong, who left the convention room earlier, to the youngest AD, Kang Heeyeon.

Producer Mansoo Kim continued.

“This time, when casting the actors and forming the manufacturing staff, there was one situation.”

“—.”

“Talent is pure. However on the identical time, I noticed ardour for the work. And we recruited folks with good character as a lot as potential.”

A number of folks nodded at PD Kim Mansoo’s phrases.

I don’t know, however perhaps folks within the business acknowledge and deal with one another effectively.

“Creating good work is like operating a machine. Even when only one half breaks, the entire thing stops. “I’m positive you all know that, however I hope you all the time hold that in thoughts and do your greatest.”

After a fairly lengthy introduction, this time the actors had been launched.

“Whats up. “I’m Min Kyungsoo.

“I’m Park Woohyun. I will likely be wonderful.”

“That is Lee Narin. I’ll do my greatest.”

“Whats up. Kim Seong…”

Quickly it was my flip to sit down on the finish.

“Whats up! I’m the brand new actor Kang Jinseok. I’ll work exhausting and do effectively. I’m trying ahead to it!”

As I bowed loudly, the opposite actors clapped their arms.

Amongst them, Min Kyungsoo and Park Woohyun, whom I had met earlier, clapped particularly loudly.

After some time, the studying started with Lee Narin’s narration.

“The driving drive that makes folks transfer. I don’t know what it’s, however…”

She was additionally knowledgeable.

Regardless that it was solely a studying, Lee Narin and the opposite actors had been accountable for their feelings.

Everybody had an perspective as in the event that they wouldn’t make the slightest mistake and as in the event that they knew all the pieces.

As producer Kim Mansoo stated, it appeared that solely actors with each expertise and character had been gathered for this work.

Whereas I used to be concentrating on the opposite actors’ performing, it was my flip earlier than I knew it.

“Minho… I’m sorry, Mother. I’m actually sorry…”

Proper earlier than my line, the unhappy line from the actor enjoying the position of ‘Mother’ got here out.

Regardless that it was only a studying, the performing was excellent.

Whoa… That is no joke.

I used to be actually intimidated by the extent of performing, which was larger than that of every other actor I had met earlier than.

Nevertheless, I couldn’t give a sloppy efficiency simply because I used to be intimidated.

Now is a vital second the place I can present all the pieces, together with my performing, my perspective, and my ardour.

Possibly this one line can change my future life as an actor. So… I’ve to do effectively it doesn’t matter what.

It wasn’t a query of whether or not I might do it or not.

I needed to do it effectively.

After organizing my ideas, I captured my feelings for about 5 seconds, as written within the script.

Then I slowly opened my mouth.

Simply as I had stated to Minsu’s brother earlier than in Minsu’s identify, and simply as I had stated to Minsu’s mom.

“Mother… “I’m actually wonderful.”

“… .”

“I hope my brother will likely be wholesome. Even when I die.”

Tuk.

The sound of somebody dropping a script stuffed the studying room.
