Creak—

The door opened and his mother and father arrived dwelling collectively.

“Mother! Brother acquired me this!”

{The challenge is named <Late Goryeo Dynasty & the Early Joseon Dynasty>, a historic drama depicting the turbulent instances from the late Goryeo to the founding of Joseon. The lead roles are Jeong Mong-ju and Lee Bang-won, and the story revolves round them. The function I advisable you for is Lee Bang-won.}

“Wow. Despite the fact that I didn’t hear what it was about, it feels nice that you just advisable me.”

{That’s proper. It appears to be like such as you’re fairly fortunate, haha.}

“What’s your function, senior?”

{Jeong Mong-ju.}

“I see.”

Jeong Mong-ju and Lee Bang-won—how distinctive.

Sometimes, Korean historic dramas targeted on figures like Yi Seong-gye, Jeong Do-jeon, and Lee Bang-won. Whereas Jeong Mong-ju was certainly a major historic determine, Yoomyeong had by no means seen a narrative the place he was portrayed as the primary character.

What sort of story was it?

{To be exact, it’s extra concerning the story of Jeong Mong-ju and Lee Bang-won’s relationship fairly than the historical past of the founding of Joseon. They’ve a climax.}

“Ah… the poems ‘What if’ and ‘Trustworthy Coronary heart,’ proper?”

{That’s proper.}

“However judging from what you’re saying, it looks as if the function of Lee Bang-won is kind of vital. May I actually match into that function? I’m nonetheless a rookie…”

{To be trustworthy, the director can be anxious about that.}

“…”

{Persuade him. He’s somebody with a eager eye, so he’ll combat with the manufacturing firm to make a spot for you for those who meet his expectations or even when he sees potential in you.}

“Senior, you appear to have a substantial amount of respect for him.”

{In my coronary heart, I contemplate him as my mentor.}

“I see.”

{It’s not a proper audition with a script however extra like only a face-to-face assembly and discussing the main points. When are you obtainable?}

Thus, a gathering with Director Son Chi-wook and Hansung was scheduled.

And on the day of the assembly, on the convention room of the manufacturing firm, Movie Maru.

“Hi there, haha. You’re rather more good-looking than on TV.”

“Hi there, Director! I’m the rookie actor Shin Yoomyeong.”

Yoomyeong bowed deeply.

“Please have a seat. I’m not a troublesome particular person.”

The director chuckled, however his delicate eyes held a sharpness inside them.

Whereas shaking palms, he rapidly scanned Yoomyeong from head to toe.

“I’ve loved watching your dramas and flicks.”

“Sure, thanks.”

Yoomyeong felt a bit awkward and lowered his gaze.

“The impression you give off in particular person and on digital camera is kind of totally different. I don’t really feel the persistence I anticipated from you simply by wanting, haha.”

“His performing switches on and off, Director.”

“I see.”

The director, who was sipping the chrysanthemum tea positioned in entrance of him, spoke to Yoomyeong.

“To be trustworthy, I’m a movie fanatic, so I don’t know a lot about performing, haha. Appearing is the specialty of actors, and overseeing that’s the director’s specialty, proper?”

The director intentionally displayed apparent humility.

How may one separate performing from filmmaking?

Furthermore, an individual whom Yoon Hansung described as a benefactor will need to have some performing expertise.

Like a foreshadowed twist, the director shifted the dialog.

“However I understand how to guage whether or not the world past the digital camera is actual or pretend. It may be a made-up world, however isn’t it our job to make it really feel actual and immersive, as if there’s a world like that behind the glass?”

Yoomyeong nodded.

“I used to be fairly impressed with the way you have been in a position to create a way of ‘may very well be’ despite the fact that your characters have been very a lot on the sting of actuality and unreality. However possibly I’m simply previous, or possibly I simply don’t perceive how a lot of a stake the actors and the digital camera have in it.”

The director’s phrases have been seasoned with pointless humility, which may very well be seen as a little bit of a provocation.

Alongside along with his light laughter, the director revealed a touch of mischief and spoke.

“Nonetheless, that is simply an previous man’s curiosity fairly than a check, however may you present me briefly by performing what sort of actor ‘Shin Yoomyeong’ is?”

It was a entice within the guise of a cushty setting.

Yoomyeong realized that Hansung didn’t have a hand on this after seeing his shocked and barely embarrassed expression. Both manner, Yoomyeong was unfazed.

Being an actor was at all times a sequence of assessments.

A check to safe a task,

A check to get an ‘OK’ lower,

And essentially the most fearsome check of all: the check known as the viewers.

Yoomyeong silently contemplated for a second after which pulled a pen and paper from the facet, rapidly writing a brief script.

The director noticed his actions with curiosity.

After finishing a spontaneous script in simply 5 minutes, Yoomyeong learn the script just a few extra instances, making an attempt to type a picture. After some time, he raised his head.
