Chapter 61
“….”
The first day of filming the movie.
Seo-yeon was shocked to see the large pig’s head in front of her.
“Now Seoyeon. “It’s the order.”
“Oh yes.”
Seoyeon along with several other actors bowed deeply to the pig’s head.
She often holds a ceremony before filming a movie or drama.
A type of event to pray for the success of a movie or drama.
Since he had never experienced this before when he appeared in Taesumdal Seo-yeon felt fresh to the core.
‘Pig’s head…’
Seo-yeon felt an indescribable feeling as she saw the pig’s head looking at her with a smiling face.
He also reminds me of the creature I saw previously in <If You Turn It On Even the King>.
‘Am I really scared?’
Seo-yeon had never once thought of herself as mentally weak but the fear she felt for the first time in her life was so shocking that it remained in her mind for some reason.
It will recover over time but for now anyway.
“Seoyeon are you feeling okay?”
“yes.”
At Manager Park Eun-ha’s words Seoyeon nodded her head.
Of course to others Seoyeon had a calm face with no change in expression.
Even though he was appalled by the pig’s head all he did was make his eyes shake slightly.
‘surely….’
Park Eun-ha stared at Seo-yeon.
There is definitely something different about the actor family.
Especially if it’s a special actor.
The same was true for Hwang Min-hwa who played her previous role.
She had a different vibe from Seoyeon.
Luxurious aura.
There was a presence that overwhelmed the opponent.
So it may have been difficult for her to even speak up in front of her and had no choice but to be crushed.
What about Seoyeon?
“The filming may be long so please rest in the van.”
Despite her cold appearance she had a very friendly personality.
She is the exact opposite of Hwang Min-hwa.
No isn’t it the opposite?
Because her image as Hwang Min-hwa is not particularly kind.
She said ‘She thought Seoyeon would be similar.’
When Park Eun-ha first saw Seo-yeon she froze.
Her face has little facial expression and it is difficult to show emotion.
She is like a doll.
Just like Hwang Min-hwa did there.
no.
She had an aura that went beyond that.
Child genius.
As if to prove that the title is definitely not a bluff.
Seo-yeon had a presence that was different from Hwang Min-hwa’s luxurious aura.
Something so overwhelming that it took her attention.
Perhaps this is the greatest quality an actor must have.
When she acted there the atmosphere changed in an instant.
Her surprise when she first saw Hwang Min-hwa up close.
But there was more to Seoyeon than that.
‘That’s why she couldn’t even mess with Hwang Min-hwa before.’
As is the case with actors who reach the top.
Hwang Min-hwa had good eyes.
People who will come out.
She distinguished people who could not rise like ghosts.
In her eyes Seoyeon was definitely a passing grade.
So she just acted like she was the sweet older sister.
Hiding her other side.
“It’s okay I’ll watch from here. “Where is the manager going?”
“Hmm I guess it doesn’t matter.”
“Just do your best while filming.”
Eunha Park said that and smiled.
<The Chaser> Seoyeon’s first film.
And the release date overlaps with the movie starring Hwang Min-hwa.
<Utopia>.
Just like the GH group sharpened their knives in <The Chaser>.
Utopia was also a film funded by a large group.
No if you look at capital alone it will be at the top.
That’s because overseas capital was involved.
In terms of the name value of the director <The Chaser> had the upper hand but just looking at the actors Utopia had more top actors.
<The Chaser> was by no means small in its weight class but <Utopia> was a huge blockbuster that was even bigger than it.
‘still.’
Park Eun-ha desperately wanted to see Seo-yeon relaxing her body.
Please make sure to follow Hwang Min-hwa.
She believed so.
***
“Today’s filming is a scene where Detective Lim Seung-cheol chases Cha Seo-ah after accidentally seeing the murderer running away.”
This scene is scene number 30.
This is a scene where Cha Seo-ah and the detectives run into each other at a bus stop and then coincidentally run into each other while on patrol at night.
This is the scene where we meet the criminal Cha Seo-ah for the first time.
‘You’re not the type to take pictures in order.’
When Seoyeon was told that scene number was 30 she checked her physical condition.
From her first shoot she never thought she would be a runner.
Basically each director has a different filming style.
Previously director Jeong-tae Jeong of <Taesumdal> had the style of shooting scenes in order.
However Bae Jin-hwan of <The Chaser> had the style of shooting appropriate scenes depending on the condition that day.
Or if possible film the difficult scenes first.
In today’s case it’s probably the latter.
“Seoyeon are you okay? “Is it really okay if I don’t use a double?”
“are you okay.”
In general actresses often used doubles for scenes where they used their bodies.
Not just for action scenes but also for taking beautiful pictures of the scenes themselves.
This was especially true in chase scenes where speed was important.
Cha Seo-ah in <The Chaser> often wore clothes that easily concealed her identity such as a hood or raincoat so it was easy to use her as a stand-in.
“Well I understand. “If you’re having a hard time change at any time.”
“yes.”
Actually even if I were to run today it wasn’t that great of a run.
The fourth murder case committed by Cha Seo-ah.
Detective Lim Seung-cheol who has been pursuing it encounters Cha Seo-ah who was just leaving the scene.
“Oh my you filmed something intense from the first time.”
“It’s hard at first but it gets easier the later you go.”
I could hear some staff speaking in dialect.
‘It’s going to be hard.’
The staff who knew director Bae Jin-hwan’s style well looked at Seo-yeon and clicked his tongue.
He was what we call a perfectionist.
Since he had a picture of the scene he wanted the scene had to come out accordingly as much as possible.
Because of this when scenes involving physical exertion were included the actors who initially offered to do them gradually fell behind.
If the acting using your body is sloppy it will end up being a scene that is as bad as nothing.
A criminal who can’t even run properly?
Of course there was no way Bae Jin-hwan could understand it.
Even late night shooting.
It was a nice filming time for Seoyeon because she had school but it was a terrible time for the other filming crew.
‘If I do something wrong today I’ll stay up all night.’
This is not a question of acting ability.
I think it would be better to just leave it to the stunt double.
I felt that way but what can I do if I want to become an actor?
“Bring your slate.”
The youngest director held in his hand a slate marking scenes from the movie.
This means filming will start soon.
Director Cho shouted standby.
sound camera.
It was announced that the order was ready.
Director Bae Jin-hwan’s eyes looked at the alley where the filming location was.
There are two actors appearing in this scene.
Joo Seo-yeon as Cha Seo-ah.
And Kim Dae-heon as Detective Lim Seung-cheol.
‘at las.’
Director Bae Jin-hwan swallowed his saliva as he looked at the two actors.
Just because he’s a director doesn’t mean he’s not nervous.
Even this time the GH group literally gave full power to the director.
A better actor.
It allowed the members to be made up of actors selected by Bae Jin-hwan rather than actors with good careers and high prices.
Kim Dae-heon is a talented actor but he does not have much experience as a lead actor.
He was even an actor who was mostly a villain and often appeared as a general in historical dramas.
However Bae Jin-hwan believed that his acting skills were not everything.
He was an actor with plenty of potential.
It was his job to save it.
‘And Joo Seo-yeon.’
My career is all about child roles.
To be honest he was an actor that was talked about by the production team who were free to cast actors.
However it seems that the role is too important for an actor with only two careers.
Even if your acting skills are recognized high-ranking people always talk in numbers.
Even in the hit drama he only appeared in three episodes.
The play was a huge hit but those in high positions only scoffed at it.
sales.
All the higher-ups look at is how much money you can make.
Funny enough I only passed on it because of the ripple effect that <Looking Back at Past Memories> had.
After all it’s over the airwaves.
To them Seoyeon who hasn’t shot a single CF is just a lottery ticket that hasn’t been scratched.
‘Okay lottery ticket.’
It sounds good but winning the lottery is rare.
It would be nice if it hit the jackpot but there is a high probability that it will end up being a disaster.
‘I trust my eyes.’
Hong Jeong-hee’s acting in <Close Your Eyes>.
And Seoyeon’s acting that I saw at the script reading.
That flash.
“Action!!”
S#30.
The first chase scene.
<The Chaser>.
A scene that represents that name more powerfully than anything else.
Filming began late at night under the moonlight.
Shake!!
I heard the sound of a pile of trash lying next to a telephone pole collapsing.
Detective Lim Seung-cheol who was chasing a recent murder case urgently looked around.
“where are you. “Where on earth are you?”
He looked down at his old cell phone.
He checked the time the report came in.
It was a call made to the police station late at night.
A frightened voice saying it seemed like someone had entered the house.
I couldn’t even say the entire address and a scream rang out.
Lim Seung-cheol ran out alone without any time to wake his sleeping colleague.
dark alley.
Clearly the address the victim mentioned on the phone was nearby.
Mangwon-ro 49beon-gil.
Lim Seung-cheol ran aimlessly through the countless rows of residential streets.
It has already been more than 10 minutes since the report came in.
It may be too late.
He tried to shake those thoughts away by shaking his head.
And he didn’t know how many times it would have happened when he turned the alley.
「…」
He encountered someone wearing a yellow raincoat.
Someone wearing a raincoat even though it is not raining.
Small body.
It was difficult to know the gender.
A presence that seems to swallow up the darkness.
Lim Seung-cheol’s eyes widened.
This was because he could see the red blood soaking his yellow raincoat.
Whose blood is it?
It went without saying.
“You bastard!!”
With the roar echoing in the alley Lim Seung-cheol ran towards the criminal.
The criminal turned to see him running over the trash scattered on the floor.
After the weapon has already been disposed of.
As the size difference was clearly evident the criminal chose to run away rather than fight.
and.
“…?”
disappeared in an instant
Instead of Detective Lim Seung-cheol who was running vigorously Kim Dae-heon’s feet stopped.
‘Why is it so fast?’
Oh I haven’t been able to catch it yet because my feet are that fast.
It was a run that made me think like that.
“Cut cut cut cut!!”
Director Bae Jin-hwan hurriedly shouted.
He called Seoyeon who had already disappeared into the alley.
“Mr. Seoyeon.”
“yes.”
“Well… please run a little slower.”
Since he is a criminal it makes sense to run away quickly.
But to a certain extent.
“Seoyeon did you run track and field?”
“Oh no.”
Seoyeon denied it but it was enough to make her think that way.
There’s a reason he didn’t hire a stunt double.
Each staff member had that thought.
“Then let’s do it together this time!”
Bae Jin-hwan clapped his hands and shouted loudly.
And then the re-shooting began.
Everyone was nervous about the shocking run that had just happened.
“Wow this scene was chosen well.”
“This is it. “It’s really tight.”
S#30.
Filming was completed with everyone’s favorable reviews.
In an instant without even staying up all night.
The first chase scene that symbolizes <The Chaser>.
The successful start brought a smile to Jinhwan Bae’s face.
