Chapter 428 – Crank-in
July 25th. It is a bright sunny summer day.
The movie 〈 Stalker 〉 cranked in in a sweltering heat wave.
Lee Chae-hee, who had just finished filming S#4, was getting her makeup done by a dedicated makeup artist.
Song Hye-ran tapped the cushion on her face and said.
“Sister, have you changed to a different product lately?”
“No? Why?”
“I feel like my skin has improved in a few days. Did you change your dermatology if not the product? If you find a good one, please share.”
“Put. It’s not like that. Just what…….”
Lee Chae-hee blurted out the end of her words and only slightly rolled her eyes. She saw Seo Joo-hwan not far away. He was in the middle of politely greeting her senior actors and other people on set.
‘He was so polite to me at first.’
It was like that for the first moment only. She told me to treat her like a local sister, but now she treats her like her real sister her. No, the recently entered Ayeji is the boss. It was embarrassing, but it was only like that on the bed, so I decided to watch it.
She somehow turned her taste and licked her lips. Song Hye-ran looked at Lee Chae-hee curiously.
“Sister?”
“Ah, yes. I guess it’s because I’ve been sleeping well and eating well lately. Sleep is the best medicine for your skin. Oh, I didn’t even drink to manage it.”
“Aha. If unnie did n’t drink, her skin would have improved. Seong-geun must have been watching you again?”
Song Hye-ran giggled as if it were obvious.
Lee Chae-hee’s love of alcohol is very famous. In proportion to him, she is also famous for the grievances of her manager her, Bae Seong-geun. It has been 7 years since Bae Seong-geun joined the company, but it has been over 10 years since he has been monitoring Lee Chae-hee.
Lee Chae-hee said with a smile.
“No. This time, someone else was watching, not Seong-geun.”
“Yes? Who?”
“Here, him. Seo Joo-hwan.”
“Ah, a new actor who came in this time. He said he was originally a novel writer?”
“It is. Where the hell did that come from…….”
“Why?”
“That’s a very unlucky guy.”
Song Hye-ran looked at Seo Joo-hwan with her eyes wide open. He’s a bad guy. His greetings her seemed very good, but it was an unexpected evaluation.
Meanwhile, Lee Chae-hee recalled the image of Seo Joo-hwan, whom she had been watching for the past two weeks. He was unquestionably a genius. And he was also a great hard worker. When those two things came together, her skills rose at an inexplicable rate. He was apt to say that he was the unlucky man in the world.
When the makeup was finished, Lee Chae-hee said.
“Hyeran-ah, go and do Joo-hwan’s makeup in advance. I will go into the next scene.”
“Okay.”
“Be nice to me.”
“Yes?”
“Make sure you put on good makeup to look good on the screen.”
“Ah yes. I understand, sister.”
Song Hye-ran tilted her head while answering reflexively.
‘I thought he didn’t like it, but it was just a joke.’
Come to think of it, Lee Chae-hee also had a scandal with that rookie actress. It means that there is a certain degree of personal friendship. She even said that she supervised Bae Seong-geun instead, so it seemed like they were close friends.
“Actress Seo Joo-hwan~.”
Song Hye-ran called him with a tender voice. It was a natural law to be kind to a handsome and pretty person, whether male or female.
“I will do my makeup. Would you like to sit here?”
“Ah, yes. This is new actor Seo Joo-hwan. Take good care of me.”
Song Hye-ran laughed a little when she saw Seo Joo-hwan bowing her head. He is also a good person.
“Hoho, please take care of me too. We will see each other often.”
“Yes?”
“Because I’m a member of React.”
“Ah. You were in the same company.”
“Yes, my name is Song Hye-ran. Oh, I have to make up, so could you take off your glasses?”
Seo Joo-hwan took off his glasses and put them on the dressing table.
Song Hye-ran made a surprised expression when she saw Seo Joo-hwan, who had become her bare face her.
‘I have a sharper impression than I thought?’
The difference in impression between wearing glasses and not wearing them was stark. His docile and friendly face His quickly changed into a manly and sharp image. Somehow, it felt like there was an atmosphere that made it difficult to treat them comfortably like before.
Seo Joo-hwan looked at her and blinked her eyes as if asking why. Then, the pressure that suddenly arose in an instant subsided. It was still the innocent look of a new actor.
Song Hye-ran quickly came to her senses her and said.
“Our actor Seo, your skin is so good. Have you been taking good care of it?”
“Haha, I’m just putting on skin and lotion.”
“But is it this good? Can you tell me what the toner and lotion are?”
“Oh, sorry. I didn’t know the name of the product because I bought something from ‘Everything’…….”
“Okay? After all, it’s true that skin is born.”
Seo Joo-hwan laughed awkwardly.
In fact, I used a skin and lotion set from an item random draw. In addition, it was a honey skin made of various items that are effective in skin regeneration and waste removal, such as cleansing, bath salts, and mist.
“Anyway, my face is so bright, so I have to tone it down a bit. I’ll make a dark circle here and mess up my hair a little. Oh, but don’t worry, I’ll make sure to look good on camera!”
“Yes, thank you.”
“Just trust me. Instead, will you tell Chaehee unnie that I did a good job for you? Because her older sister asked Seo to make it look cool.”
Seo Ju-hwan blinked at the familiar name.
“Sister… No, senior?”
“Put. It’s okay to just call her older sister in front of me.”
“Oh yeah? My older sister told me to act like a rookie on set.”
“Okay? Originally, I don’t really care about Chaehee unnie, but… Ah, it must be because there are many other actors.”
“Haha. I guess so. But what about me, um, teacher?”
“Ah, what kind of teacher are you? Just call me by name.”
“Ah, can I? Then, please call Hyeran by that name as well. It was so awkward because she said she was an actress.”
Seo Joo-hwan smiled as if embarrassed and scratched the corners of his eyes. Seeing that, Song Hye-ran widened her eyes.
‘Oh, he’s kind of cute, isn’t he?’
I am surprised by the stupid expression. There was a strange gap between the sharp impression he took off his glasses of her.
‘I just want to act as much as I look like. No, isn’t that too conscienceless?’
She was originally told that she was a web novelist and We Tuber, not an actress. Strangely, from the first meeting, she hoped that the man she had a crush on would be excellent.
Contrary to his thoughts of her, however, the words that came out of his mouth of her were scolding.
“Oh, don’t scratch your eyes!”
“Ugh. Sorry. It’s a habit.”
“It is forbidden to touch the face except for the eyes. Got it?”
“Yep. I will be careful.”
Seo Joo-hwan quickly lowered his hand and apologized.
There were several people looking at it with disapproving expressions from not far away. They are manpower from various fields put into the filming site.
‘Look at the stupid thing. It’s going to be long from the first day of filming.’
‘I can see Director Min shouting.’
‘Ehh. From drug distribution to casting misses in case someone is not a half-half director, this work is a mess even before it starts.’
‘It’s been a while since I heard Chaehee Lee’s shouting live.’
Naturally, they did not have any expectations from Seo Joo-hwan. It was because it was absurd that he was a rookie with nothing proven, and that he was born as a writer and YouTuber. The only comfort was that Seo Joo-hwan’s filming would be over within 15 days, even if it was long.
After a while.
Director Min Seon-ha’s voice rang through the set.
“Seo Joo-hwan! I’m going into scene 6!”
“Yes!”
Seo Joo-hwan, who had been waiting after finishing his makeup beforehand, entered the set. He was wearing glasses again before he knew it.
[Activate the special ability ‘Method Acting’.]
[I assimilate the thoughts and feelings of the person I want to act.]
[Character understanding is very high.]
[Immersion – 80%]
[Blessing, Blessing of Concentration is activated.]
[Immersion – 90%]
When he opened his eyes again, Seo Ju-hwan was no longer there.
A handsome young man from the neighborhood. A pleasure killer who hides his true heart his.
Kim Jung-min smiled.
*
Seo Joo-hwan finished S#6 and S#7 without a single NG.
The other actors were also veterans with good skills, so the shoot that day ended two hours earlier than expected.
The good thing that all workers have in common is to work less and earn more. In particular, actors who do not pay NG are the best for occupational groups whose work hours vary widely depending on the progress of filming.
Thanks to that, when the filming was over that day, people’s eyes looking at Seo Joo-hwan were remarkably soft.
“Joo-hwan, you worked hard.”
“Are you really a rookie?”
“When I was acting Joo-hwan, I thought I was a different person. Wasn’t I a bit chilly earlier? It’s because I’m crazy, so you can’t misunderstand.”
“Ask any time if you have any questions. In the future, please continue like today.”
The staff’s words were softer than before, but they were strangely polite. It seemed like he was dealing with a superior.
Seo Joo-hwan smiled inwardly as he greeted them politely.
‘The charisma effect is good.’
The ‘charisma’ obtained from Lee Chae-hee is a talent related to the energy of oneself, like the ‘fascination’ obtained from Gabriela one day. If the latter is an energy that captivates people, the former can be said to be a charm that seizes with dignity.
This was the reason why people became respectful at the same time they took off the glasses that made their impression docile. There was a feeling that it was difficult to treat Seo Joo-hwan now.
‘It’s nice, but it’s not my taste.’
Seo Joo-hwan consciously relaxed his expression and gestures. It’s good that he doesn’t look down on him, but he doesn’t want his opponent to be too hard on him. It was a law that he had to show some loopholes in order to get along easily with people.
After saying hello to his staff, he quickly went to visit the senior actors. I saw Lee Chae-hee talking with the other actors on the other side.
“Chaehee noona, you worked hard today.”
Lee Chae-hee looked back at him and frowned.
“Seo Joo-hwan, didn’t I tell you not to call me sister on set?”
“Oh, sorry. Hello seniors!”
As he bowed to his waist, an actor who was a little older quickly stood him up.
It is Kim Soo-hwan who plays the lead role, Jo Young-woo (stalker).
He is a famous actor not only for his acting but also for his good personality. Maybe it’s because he turned from being a visual member of a boy group to an actor, so despite his age of 35, he was a handsome boy.
“Ugh, Mr. Joo-hwan, you don’t have to say hello like that. Every time we see each other, it’s embarrassing, really.”
Kim Soo-hwan said with a burdened expression.
“What about you? It’s been a while since I’ve seen a newcomer with passion, so it’s nice to see him.”
At first glance, an old man who seemed to have a personality interrupted with a touchy tone.
This is Ma Young-soo, who plays the supporting role, Kang Seon-woo (Detective).
At 44 this year, he quit his job at a large company ten years ago. Since then, he has entered the Chungmuro theater board at a late age and has reached this position. Contrary to his rather aggressive accent his, he was also a friendly uncle who was famous for taking good care of his juniors.
Ma Young-soo wrapped his arms around Seo Joo-hwan in a friendly manner and said.
“Joo-hwan, your acting is really good today. Even during the reading, I thought it was this guy’s thing, but it’s different now that I’m in the real world.”
“Thank you, senior.”
“Oh, that. What is the senior Call him big brother.”
“Haha, I see, brother.”
Ma Young-soo smirked in satisfaction. He immediately glanced sideways at Lee Chae-hee and said.
“By the way, did Chae-hee make that 90-degree greeting?”
“Ah yes.”
“Chaehee, what did you teach me? Seeing as a sister and a younger sister, they seem like close friends, but you can introduce them to us. Ah, come to think of it, wasn’t there a scandal with your boy?”
Lee Chae-hee frowned. She was just trying to make fun of Seo Joo-hwan, but she caught Ma Young-soo by the pod as if it went well. A topic that I liked a little while ago because it seemed to be passionate.
“Never mind, mister.”
“Gossip, you’re being picky. Look at what you say to an older brother who is ten years older.”
Ma Young-soo clicked her tongue and said, but Lee Chae-hee snorted at her as if she did n’t respond to her prayers.
“Patience. What did this brother eat wrong today? Why are you screaming?”
“Zaaau. It was the most fun in the world to tease you.”
“How are you? Oppa, if you keep doing that, I might end up being mean.”
“Despicably? How are you going to kill me?”
Youngsoo Ma asked with a curious expression as if he was curious. In response, Lee Chae-hee raised the corner of her mouth and sucked in her breath.
“Where is the fresh blue junior getting away with the sky-like senior? Huh? Our Young-soo is going to get scolded!”
Lee Chae-hee, who puts her hand on her waist and works.
Ma Young-soo blinked in embarrassment.
“What, what?”
“Youngsoo oppa is 10 years old, including the theater version. I’m only twenty years old in the movie version. If you add all the dramas together, he’s 29 years old. I am a big senior. Yu Garit?”
“Ah, Ai Garit. Wrong I didn’t give a damn to the president…….”
“It’s enough if you know, if you know. Let’s do it, brother. Yes?”
Lee Chae-hee exclaimed in satisfaction and patted Ma Young-soo on the shoulder as she let out her snort.
Ma Young-soo ignored Lee Chae-hee and whispered in Seo Ju-hwan’s ear her.
“He will never marry. Joo-hwan, don’t you think so too?”
“Haha…….”
“By the way, I am married. Is my wife much prettier than her?”
After saying that, Ma Young-soo took out a picture of her from her wallet and showed it. In the picture, a young woman, Ma Young-soo, was affectionately holding her arms to her. Although she had a likable appearance for women, she was honestly very sorry to compare her to Lee Chae-hee.
However, Seo Ju-hwan actively nodded his head.
“Your wife is a beauty. If she had been an actress, Chae-hee noona would have been pushed aside, right?”
“Really?HahaIt’s a feeling. Today’s filming was over quickly, but I’m shooting for the evening. Let’s go, Soo-hwan will follow.”
“Yes, brother.”
Kim Soo-hwan, who had been quietly listening to the story, followed Ma Young-soo with a grin.
Ma Young-soo sighed and shouted once more in a loud voice.
“Others, come along for dinner! I’ll go first and set you up!”
“Wow! As expected, Young-soo!”
“Where are we going to the restaurant?!”
“Ah, I always go around here, but there you are! Come on!”
In the midst of people cheering, Lee Chae-hee, who became an outcast, shouted out loud.
“Go with me! Buy me some food too!”
Her Ma Yeongsoo teased her, moving her feet with her quick steps.
“My great senior gets it from her junior and uses it. I can’t afford to buy it!”
“Puhahahahaha!”
Seo Joo-hwan could not hold back and burst into laughter.
Lee Chae-hee turned on her double wick and ran quickly.
“Joo-hwan laughed at you! I’m behind you!”
“Ugh! Brother, I’ll go first and get a seat! Where is the restaurant?”
When Seo Joo-hwan heard the name of the restaurant, he immediately jumped out.
The first day of filming went smoothly like that.
