The Presence of an Additional
Director, Im not fairly certain what you have been involved about.

Throughout the studying, his focus and stress by no means wavered. I perceive that appearing on set is totally different, however whats there to fret about when he has such focus and ability?
Youre proper. After seeing him in the present day, I feel I might need been overly cautious. Its uncommon to seek out somebody so becoming for the position, and I suppose I acquired a bit carried away because it was my final movie.
Are you actually planning to retire after this challenge?
Haha, so that you knew about my retirement and nonetheless accepted the position. Properly, its time to step again and make room for the youthful era.
However Director, no person could make movies such as you do

Knock knock
There was a mild knock on the door.
Are available, Director Son referred to as out.
The door opened, revealing the face of the very actor they have been discussing.
Rookie actor? You havent left but? What can I do for you?
Director, I’ve a request
What’s it?
I heard I wont have a lot filming within the first month. Is that proper?
Sure, thats proper. Throughout Jeong Mong-jus youthful years, Lee Bang-won will likely be performed by a toddler actor. The scenes the place Jeong Mong-ju and Lee Bang-won share tea and have a dialog are unfold all through the runtime, however most will likely be shot in the direction of the top.

You dont should if youre busy. After todays studying, I feel I might need been overly delicate.
No, its not that. I used to be questioning in case you might rent me as an additional within the meantime.
An additional?
Each Director Son and the veteran actor have been greatly surprised.
A lead actor working as an additional was an uncommon request.
I imply, not an additional whose face is recognizable, however extra like a passerby in crowd scenes. Historic dramas typically want many extras, so I believed it could be okay.
Why would you wish to try this?
I believed it would assist me get a greater really feel for the non-verbal points of appearing, like what you instructed me about.
Director Son checked out him, amazed by his ardour and unconventional method to apply.
Hmm will being an additional actually make it easier to apply?
Im unsure both, however I wish to attempt practising exuding my presence inside restricted reactions.
Hmm thats an fascinating concept.
However Im anxious that standing out as an additional may trigger a disturbance
Haha
Director Son burst into laughter.
Youre not planning on doing any exaggerated actions, are you?This chapter is up to date by nov(e)(l)biin.com
No, its nothing like that. I simply wish to focus and observe alongside the scenes.
Should you handle to face out in crowd scenes simply by your presence and with none exaggerated actions, then thats not a nuisance. Its one thing commendable.
Thats true.
Alright, lets do it!
Director Son couldnt refuse the actors request, who was crammed with such ardour for appearing. After he left, the veteran actor smiled.
What a formidable man. I want my Hun-Seong might be taught a bit from him
His son had additionally just lately debuted as an actor. He wished that his considerably lackadaisical son would take after Yoomyeong.
It appears now we have somebody much more formidable about appearing than me.
Director Son smiled warmly.
However Director, do you actually suppose this technique will work?
Actually, Im unsure However as you recognize, Bae, if he doesnt attempt what he needs to do, then hell at all times remorse it.
Yeah I perceive how important your accomplishment was.
Miho squinted her eyes in a smug smile, then playfully tugged the extras costume that Yoomyeong was carrying.
{However are you actually going to do that? It looks like a pointless wrestle.}
There are individuals who acknowledge my lack of presence. Now that Im conscious of it, I’ve to at the very least attempt to overcome it.
{Hmm However keep in mind, theres a neater means referred to as making a take care of me. Struggling like this wont essentially improve your presence.}
I do know. However I wish to apply projecting the presence I do have.
{Projecting, kyung?}
Sure, its one thing I continually did in my earlier life.
Throughout the instances when he felt overshadowed by others and when even transferring his limbs whereas appearing felt heavy, he considered projecting his then-limited vitality.
Again then, he had hoped to challenge his present vitality extra firmly to claim his existence.
This was the course of the apply Yoomyeong had in thoughts.
{Hmm. Will it work, although? If it doesnt, simply keep in mind that there’s one other means, kyung~}
Miho habitually recommended an alternate, then blurred and disappeared.

Yoomyeong, wearing a standard gown, sat within the educational corridor.
The primary scene to be shot was set within the Sungkyunkwan Academy in 1367, when Jeong Mong-ju was a famend professor there.
In that 12 months, the 12 months Lee Bang-won was born, Jeong Mong-ju was already famend because the countrys main Confucian scholar. Yoomyeongs position was a pupil listening to Jeong Mong-jus lecture, positioned in order that solely his again can be captured by the entrance and facet cameras.
Sitting there, Yoomyeong visualized his character.
I’m presently a passionate younger Confucian scholar of about 20 years outdated and somebody who significantly admires Jeong Mong-ju.
Yoomyeong sat upright in his seat and gazed intently on the historic scripture written in an unfamiliar script, doing his greatest to exude a robust presence.
{Hoo}
Miho, watching the waves of presence and vitality rippling round Yoomyeong, was fairly impressed.
Although it wasnt corresponding to his precise appearing, his presence was rather more seen than earlier than.
How a lot of his vitality can he actually management? Its an fascinating try for a human.
Miho chuckled as she pulled out popcorn, watching with amusement.

Even the kid actors carried out properly.
Due to the impeccable appearing of the forged, the taking pictures progressed easily below the meticulous course of Director Son.
And Yoomyeong was gaining expertise in portraying probably the most numerous roles in a brief interval:
A member of the group of officers prostrating within the palace.
One of many younger Confucian students submitting a proposal for diplomatic relations with Ming.
An onlooker lining up when Jeong Mong-ju visited Ming.
As one of many monks who requested a poem from Jeong Mong-ju in Japan.
The vitality within the crowd scenes was intense.
Being within the midst of densely packed folks introduced again recollections of his previous life when his actions felt heavy, oppressed by the vitality of others.
Throughout scenes with massive, highly effective teams, Yoomyeong practiced projecting his presence, pushing in opposition to the dense vitality round him.
After focusing and ending his appearing, he would typically be drenched in sweat.
Yoomyeong, come right here.
Even amidst this, his one-on-one classes with Director Son continued every day.
Throughout breaks, the director would name Yoomyeong for passionate appearing steerage.
Whereas Director Son was usually glad together with his appearing, he typically urged him to be extra intense in photographs the place Lee Bang-won was on the periphery of the display.
A month handed like that.
Miho watched the rising ripples of Yoomyeongs presence, considerably astonished.
After all, the spirit foxs astonishment was extra much like watching an amusing trick.
That was, till that day arrived.
