Chapter 11

‘Oh, what ought to I do? Ought to I cease them?’

From the second Lee Homin began an argument with Jinseok, Kang Heeyeon turned stressed.

‘For no purpose did I say that I used to be auditioning for a similar position… I’m such an fool.’

It was Kang Heeyeon who knowledgeable Lee Homin of Jinseok’s existence, however she couldn’t assist it both.

It is because Lee Homin, a well known actor, requested about his opponents. And really high-handedly. As Kang Heeyeon, a junior workers member, I had no alternative however to inform him.

‘Initially, I must say that I can not inform him in precept… I don’t have that braveness but…’

Nonetheless, if Lee Homin had talked that method to Jinseok, Kang Heeyeon would by no means have advised him.

In the meantime, Homin Lee put extra stress on Jinseok.

“···How did you audition for this position? Did your company help you?”

Lee Homin even says issues that ought to by no means be stated amongst actors.

Because the environment turned more and more critical, Kang Heeyeon turned stressed.

‘What do I do···? Ought to I inform different seniors? ‘I’m in large hassle?’

Nonetheless, as a result of at this time was the weekend, there have been solely the minimal variety of folks within the audition room. So everybody was busy strolling round with out even a second’s discover.

Nonetheless, such a giant downside couldn’t be left unattended, so Kang Heeyeon reported the state of affairs within the group chat room.

Nobody learn it.

It appeared like everybody was so busy that they didn’t have time to test the messenger.

Lee Homin continued to complain.

“To harm my delight, why are you tying me with Nameless? It’s absurd.”

Kang Heeyeon, who may not watch, stood up.

‘I’ve to step ahead. As a result of it occurred due to my mistake…!’

Kang Heeyeon squeezed her barely trembling hand and approached Lee Homin and Jinseok. And simply as she was about to say one thing, Jinseok responded coldly.

“Senior Lee Homin. You retain saying it’s absurd, however I’m the one who’s absurd.”

Kang Heeyeon was shocked that Jinseok may converse with such a voice.

She stated, ‘After I noticed you earlier than, you appeared very light… and type. Was that simply an phantasm?’

Kang Heeyeon determined to quietly observe first.

***

“···What?”

“An audition is a really valuable and determined alternative for somebody. It’s impolite so that you can behave like this.”

Jinseok spoke clearly whereas trying into Homin Lee’s eyes, as if a junior have been throwing cider on a senior in a drama.

Homin Lee, maybe pushed again by Jinseok’s daring spirit, saved his mouth shut. Then he spoke in a questioning tone with a barely pink face.

“What, unhealthy luck? Are you saying I’m being impolite now?!”

“Then what else is it apart from unhealthy luck? It’s distracting different candidates from concentrating on their performing.”

“What, what? Are you making an attempt to show your senior now? You stated every part?!”

It was straightforward to cringe on the phrase ‘senior,’ however Jinseok pushed again more durable as if he didn’t care about that in any respect.

“No. There’s nonetheless rather a lot to say. To place it bluntly, isn’t the rationale Lee Homin is right here now as a result of he’s in the identical class as us? If something was a bit higher…”

“If you wish to be handled like a senior, first act like a senior.”

Kang Heeyeon checked out Jinseok with shocked eyes.

‘After I noticed you earlier than, you have been extraordinarily thoughtful to your seniors…. You may have the persona to say what you need to say…’

But it surely didn’t appear extreme. Perhaps it’s as a result of I’m no less than well mannered and don’t converse emotionally.

‘It’s cool…’

The rationale I can say that’s as a result of I’m assured.

An performing talent that PD Kim Mansoo acknowledges and recommends to different shut PDs. And a persona worthy of recognition from senior actors within the trade.

The actor who has all of it is Kang Jinseok, whom Kang Heeyeon has seen thus far.

The argument between the 2 continued for a very long time, nevertheless it was too one-sided to be known as a struggle.

After some time, Jinseok’s decisive phrases stuffed the audition ready room.

“In case you are that assured in your performing abilities, go for an audition. If you happen to get the position, I’ll deal with you want a senior.”

This was an ideal provocation, an invite for many who have been assured.

Lee Homin, who couldn’t have identified that, trembled and shouted.

“A shameless bastard… hey! How a lot performing have you ever completed thus far? You have been fortunate sufficient to get an opportunity to audition, however is there something you are able to do? This bastard is de facto…”

At that second, Homin Lee tried to push Jinseok’s shoulder.

“Mr. Lee Homin. Why is it so loud?”

I knew it nicely as a result of I had auditioned numerous occasions.

The audition room arrived shortly after.

Kang Heeyeon fastidiously knocked on the door.

Hi there.

“Lee Homin and Kang Jinseok are coming in.”

“Come on in.”

***

A middle-aged man’s voice was heard. As I entered the audition room, I noticed two males.

One is author Jo Seokwon, whom I noticed some time in the past. The opposite is PD Na Jinho, who produced this work.

As I sat down on the chair, PD Na Jinho spoke quietly.

“Hmm… To begin with, we shall be auditioning two folks on the similar time at this time. In order that we will test one another’s abilities and settle for whoever will get the position.”

As quickly as PD Na Jinho completed talking, author Jo Seokwon continued.

“I don’t care about buyers or businesses. I’m only a one that makes use of the actors I need to use in my work. You already know it nicely, proper?”

Author Jo Seokwon stated in a stern voice. Then Lee Homin nodded his head with a nervous face.

An audition room filled with rigidity.

Okay!

Producer Na Jinho and Lee Homin checked out my profile and slammed it down on the desk.

“I received’t have a look at what I’ve filmed thus far and what roles I’ve performed. What’s necessary is your abilities ‘now’. And…”

“···.”

“Earlier than the precise audition, let me let you know why I introduced you two right here.”

PD Na Jinho stated as he poured water right into a cup.

“For this work, we would have liked a brand new face that isn’t well-known to the general public. Nonetheless, you needed to have abilities. So, I obtained suggestions from varied locations.”

“···.”

“KL Leisure ‘strongly’ beneficial Mr. Lee Homin. He doesn’t seem in dramas usually lately, so he looks like a brand new face, and his performing abilities are excellent.”

PD Na Jinho notably emphasizes ‘strongly.’ The tone didn’t appear to imply something good, however Lee Homin didn’t appear to note that.

“Thanks!”

PD Na Jinho shook his head in disapproval at Lee Homin’s shiny voice.

“…You possibly can thank the company. And that individual, Jinseok Kang, was chosen as my junior’s debut movie, so I invited him right here. I obtained suggestions from about 40 folks apart from these two, however I filtered all of them out.”

‘Forty folks.’

Auditions have a contest charge of 100 to 1 for one position, and as much as 2,000 to 1 at most. Contemplating that, if there are round 40 folks, it’s possible you’ll not assume that the competitors charge is excessive.

‘But when there have been 40 actors who obtained suggestions, the story can be fully completely different…’

Advice means placing your title and abilities on the road to introduce somebody to another person.

In different phrases, these 40 individuals are actors who can simply go most auditions.

‘What sort of position was it that they needed to skip all these actors?’

Whereas I used to be desirous about that, author Jo Seokwon gave me a chunk of A4 paper and stated,

“At this time’s audition is free performing. As a substitute, please hold this in thoughts.”

I fastidiously handed over the paper given by author Jo Seokwon.

‘This…’

This was written on the piece of paper given by author Jo Seokwon:

——

Casting: Japanese police officer and 1 different

Ambassador: Freedom

Position 1: Japanese police officer loyal to Japan (police in the course of the Japanese colonial interval)

Position 2: A Japanese police officer who realized Japan’s true nature and determined to assist the Korean folks (police in the course of the Japanese colonial interval)

Vital 1. Realism of characters

Vital 2. Realism of dialogue

——

After I learn this, I all of a sudden remembered my dialog with Kang Hoshin.

“I used to be shamefully a stooge of the Japanese Empire who pointed weapons and swords at my compatriots. Later, I spotted my mistake and tried to be liberated…”

‘···May it’s that Kang Hosin was a police officer who was loyal to Japan however then turned to Joseon?’

TN: Joseon – earlier than Korea, it was known as Joseon or Joseon Dynasty.
