Chapter 71: Shall We Do This?
༺ Lets do that? ༻
“Let’s begin?”
Yoomyeong nodded in response to Seunghyo’s query.
Seunghyo counted down silently from three, two, one, and immersed himself in his character.
To Eunseong, a lord who lamented a bygone period.
“Your Majesty, please order a deployment to the border with Sumyeong Kingdom. The longer we delay, the higher the hazard to our harmless individuals shall be. I, Eunsong, will personally lead the combat and elevate our kingdom’s dignity!”
Baek Seunghyo hesitated.
Was his method incorrect?
He had tried his greatest to painting Kwon Do-jun, and he had additionally performed Eunseong to the most effective of his potential.
Because it was clear that his personal colours as Baek Seunghyo have been already imprinted within the character, he hadn’t considered performing as Eunseong on high of performing as Kwon Do-jun.
However on that day, he grew to become stressed after witnessing Shin Yoomyeong’s performing.
If it was judged solely by Wolgong’s performing, then it was undoubtedly inferior. Nevertheless, it was so firmly imbued with Tak Gyu-min’s character that he couldn’t assist however marvel how Yoomyeong might act like that.
So he requested for Shin Yoomyeong’s ‘Wolgong,’ questioning how totally different it will be.
And Yoomyeong spoke his strains, which have been highly effective from the start, in a tender and calm method.
“Your Majesty. Our kingdom is barely recovering from the aftermath of the warfare with Geoncheok Kingdom that led to June. Our lovely territory, with harvest simply across the nook, shall be stained with blood once more.”
Every phrase of criticism was fastidiously worded, and harsh however persuasive.
Then, there was a small sigh between the sentences.
With that sigh, his tone of speech modified.This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.
“Now isn’t the time to play warfare video games, Your Majesty. I beseech your sensible judgment.”
A shallow trace of mockery was current within the phrase ‘warfare video games.’
It was undoubtedly a provocation, a refined rhetorical transfer aimed toward stimulating Eunseong’s feelings by belittling his enthusiasm and manipulating the younger monarch’s thoughts.
Although Eunseong knew it was a provocation, anger welled up inside him.
“Sumyeong Kingdom has all the time been like this, pretending to be a brotherly kingdom whereas stabbing us within the again at our most weak level. How dare you counsel making peace with such treacherous individuals, Wolgong? Furthermore, the area they’ve invaded this time is wealthy in mines. Do you actually not perceive what they’ll demand as the value for peace?”
Finally, he couldn’t maintain again his feelings and directed his phrases in the direction of his rival within the reverse aspect and never the throne.
The elders within the courtroom would disapprove of his reckless habits contained in the palace.
Although he knew that the slightest mistake in a tense confrontation would tip the stability of energy, Eunseong, a fiery and fierce warrior, couldn’t assist himself.
Why couldn’t Wolgong see all of it so clearly when he was that clever? Why couldn’t he see that they may lose greater than they may ever save for the sake of a momentary peace?
“Our individuals will go to warfare on flimsy ships and fall simply to the sword, and the border commerce that’s slowly revitalizing will stop for not less than a yr. Repeated tribulations will deliver bark to their tables as an alternative of rice, and younger kids will cry for his or her dad and mom.”
As befitting a high diplomat, he easily spoke as if his mouth was oiled.
Every phrase painted a vivid image that the viewers imagined the conditions of their minds as they listened.
The sight of a skeletal warrior shifting stones to construct a defensive wall solely to be pierced by arrows flying from a distance, soaking the ramparts with blood,
The aged sucking bitter water from tree bark earlier than soaking it once more for the subsequent day,
And a younger child who misplaced his dad and mom in a single day and cried for days on finish earlier than ravenous to loss of life.
“I’m no much less offended at Sumyeong Kingdom than anybody else, however there’s a proper time for warfare.”
Wolgong’s phrases have been stuffed with remorse, and a single tear fell from considered one of his eyes.
From Eunseong’s perspective, who knew his persuasion ways all too properly, even that tear was a calculated abomination.
Nevertheless, it was a tear stuffed with sincerity from the angle of everybody else.
That was Shin Yoomyeong’s Wolgong.
A superb strategist whose sharp thoughts was hid beneath a easy tongue, making it not possible to discern his true intentions.
In distinction to ‘Tak Gyu-min’s Wolgong’ from the earlier efficiency, there was no hint of it in Shin Yoomyeong’s portrayal, and Baek Seunghyo grew to become uneasy.
He paused for a second, not persevering with with the dialogue.
After which,
“Wol.”
He known as him by his nickname.
It was an unscripted ad-lib.
*
“Sure, Lord Eunseong.”
“Effectively… I must work on my subsequent undertaking.”
Yu-seok shook his head at Yoomyeong’s phrases.
“You must take a break.”
“I don’t thoughts. I can’t wait to do my subsequent work.”
“You possibly can’t be positive after working for months with no break. I don’t need to flip you right into a workaholic actor. Relaxation for a few months after which search for your subsequent undertaking. There are many scripts ready anyway.”
“A lot? The place are the scripts that got here in?”
“No, you may’t see them. It is advisable take a trip first.”
It was a wierd dialog.
The roles have been reversed, with the actor eager to work and the administration advising him to relaxation.
“Director Moon, I actually don’t thoughts…”
Yoomyeong felt anxious.
He wasn’t certain how a lot time he had left.
Miho had been unusually quiet lately, which made him much more uneasy. He needed to behave in good productions shortly.
“Nonetheless, it’s not a good suggestion. How about simply taking a month off? It’s not that lengthy. You possibly can spend time with your loved ones and watch some films you’ve missed. Do not forget that having some free time can really enhance your performing.”
Yoomyeong reluctantly nodded in response to Yu-seok’s cussed insistence.
“I do know you’re smitten by work, however what about cash? If you wish to become profitable, we have now loads of provides for commercials.”
Yu-seok put a stack of A4 papers on the desk. The paperwork have been titled “Proposals.”
“Ought to I do… all of those?”
“Are you loopy? It’s not like your picture as a rising star would immediately vanish. That is simply bragging rights. It’s a solution to showcase how in style you’re.”
Yoomyeong checked out Yu-seok with a puzzled expression.
It appeared like Director Moon’s perspective towards him had modified a bit because the final time they met. Maybe he was being extra sincere now.
“As for cash… properly, it’s good to have, however my final look charge alone is already some huge cash I by no means even thought of having.”
Yoomyeong had acquired his closing look charge simply the day earlier than.
Due to Yu-seok’s wonderful negotiation abilities, it was already a considerable quantity.
For somebody who used to obtain a couple of tens of hundreds of gained as cost for ready on set as an additional for 14 hours a day, it was an unimaginable sum.
Additionally, the looks charge that Director Ki instructed him can be low as a consequence of Ballerina Excessive being a ardour undertaking had unexpectedly changed into a considerable sum of money.
Because it was an impartial movie, the manufacturing price range wasn’t too excessive. The break-even level was 220,000 viewers or one thing comparable… but it surely had already surpassed a million views.
“Oh, by the best way, Director Ki stated that there could be some abroad screening rights and that he’d additionally calculate your share.”
“He doesn’t have to try this…”
Yu-seok chuckled.
“Did you change your want for cash with a want for performing? Why don’t different individuals have wishes like this? Anyway, that’s my opinion. Since doing commercials may also enhance your recognition, let’s do one or two with excessive model worth and look charges. Nevertheless, I’ll decide ones which can be often known as ’15 seconds of artwork,’ those that require good performing.”
Commercials have been sometimes called ‘15 seconds of artwork.’
In fact, there have been solely a restricted variety of commercials that might really be known as that.
It was a time period used to explain ads that had a storyline and required performing, moderately than these with a powerful ‘product advert’ nature.
Yoomyeong had no intention of rejecting such a suggestion as an actor.
“Please deal with it as you see match. Thanks.”
Smiling at Yoomyeong’s well mannered response, Yu-seok immediately made an surprising supply.
“Is there something you need?”
“…?”
“I by no means had the intention of making a living via this pastime, however I’m now. Additionally, seeing you develop quicker than I anticipated makes me really feel proud as your sponsor. If you need one thing, simply inform me. I’ll do it if it’s inside my capabilities.”
Yu-seok added an evidence as Yoomyeong tilted his head.
“Whether or not it’s one thing you need to have, one thing you need to attempt, and even somebody who’s been bothering you and somebody need to eliminate… I can deal with it.”
He chuckled mischievously.
Yoomyeong was about to shake his head when he immediately considered one thing.
“Can I… deliver somebody in?”
