I Will Live As An Actor

I will live as an actor Episode 168

Legend.

Legends, which are listed as a type of tale, are passed down orally in each region.

For example, examples include the Manpasikjeok of the East Sea and the Muyeongtap of Bulguksa Temple.

Along with the cries of seagulls, you can hear the strong dialect of the Busan ladies.

“Oh my, what a pretty day! I guess you came with your partner? I’ll give you what I caught this morning at a low price! Go ahead and grab a plate! “The sea squirts are amazing!”

“How much is it?”

“I’ll give you the sea squirts at a cheap price no matter what!”

Even bargaining becomes salty like salty sea waves.

It is a flat surface with a clear view of the sea in front of Taejongdae. As befits its reputation as a haenyeo village, a variety of fresh seafood are laid out on the tables.

The saying that they were freshly caught in the morning is not a lie, and they are so lively that they seem to be wriggling in the water at any moment.

The only food on the table is freshly prepared sea squirts, sea cucumbers, abalone, and vinegared vegetables.

The salty and sweet flavor along with the scent of the sea spreads in your mouth so much that you don’t need a separate side dish.

“Kiya, this is what it tastes like!”

PD Kim Woo-hyung, who was sitting across from us, clicked his tongue when he saw Min Su-jin pouring soju into a sea squirt shell and drinking it.

“Writer Min, we’re not here to have fun, are we already drinking soju?”

“Producer Kim. They say Mt. Geumgang is also an after-meal view. And I wouldn’t be able to drink even a glass of soju as a snack with this vast ocean. That’s not polite to soju! “Come on, PD Kim, drink this sea squirt shell and drink a glass of soju.”

“What I’m saying is that I’m leaving the water in the clearing in case someone doesn’t think I’m a writer.”

Writer Min Soo-jin was a writer who was well known by S Company’s entertainment department. The reason she changed broadcasting stations was simple. It was because I wanted to master drama, not entertainment anymore.

“Honestly, I am very grateful to PD Kim.”

“Writer Min, are you drunk already?”

“It’s okay to be this drunk. I just wanted to reveal it when I saw the open sea. Do you know what our writer Wang said when he said he wanted to do a drama at SBC? When I say I’m doing well, I’m doing well, so I don’t think I’m scared of a one-day puppy tiger. No, you must have been a royal writer since birth. And the amazing CP of our SBC drama department laughed so hard when he saw my synopsis. “If you feel like it, shove honey chestnuts in your face!”

“Writer Min’s synopsis talks nonsense.”

“No, PD Kim!”

At that moment, an ajimae from Busan serves boiled conches on a table.

“My wife, even if you hate men, you are my boy. Don’t fight too much. You should use your energy elsewhere. “This is the Ssabi I was talking about earlier!”

The topic changes in an instant. Min Su-jin is in a hurry to say that this is not the case, but the Busan ajimae ignores it and turns to the tourists coming down from Taejongdae to the seaside rock.

Min Su-jin pours soju into the sea squirt shell again and drinks it.

“Producer Kim, do you think my synopsis is nonsense?”

“huh.”

“What, then why did you contact me? I thought of it like a lifesaver. “I threw away all the connections and experience I had built at SBC and followed PD Kim to MBS.”

“Writer Min’s synopsis makes no sense from the perspective of a terrestrial producer, and even though writer Min is unknown to the entertainment department, he is no different from a beginner when it comes to the drama department.”

Terrestrial drama stations are quite conservative. The reason why one-size-fits-all narratives and new factions dominate is not very special. This was because viewer ratings were guaranteed.

Therefore, it is difficult to welcome a synopsis with a narrative structure that deviates even slightly from the fixed framework. Moreover, if it is a work by a writer with no drama experience, the programming itself is likely to be a camel through the eye of a needle in the first place.

“Then why…?”

“Like writer Min said, it was a ridiculous synopsis.”

“yes?”

“I liked that.”

Producer Kim Woo-hyung poured soju into a sea squirt shell, drank it, and put it down loudly.

“Because I was confident that it would change the landscape of Korean dramas.”

Waves crash down the low cliff. This is a place where the water is not very deep. It was a place where I often went to play after skipping school when I was young, and it was also a filming location for ‘August Man’ when I was a child actor.

side.

The sound of white crashing waves feels like the sound of a kiss. England felt his face heating up. Because it reminded me of something that happened at the dock a few days ago.

My heart is pounding.

When I think about that time, my heart suddenly starts pounding as if I were sick.

This was a child who always thought of me as a younger sister. After all, wasn’t it when we first met when we were very young?

No matter how much I spent my past life having the image of a representative innocent and pretty actress, what would have been the use? The image of Yeonsu, who was a snobbery, is stuck in my mind.

“Whoa.”

Even if others don’t know, don’t you know it yourself? If you add in your past life experiences, you are already past middle age.

But I don’t know why my heart is beating so fast. There was no way to know whether his current feelings were towards her or out of embarrassment.

It may be because I was basically ignorant about dating in the first place.

“by the way.”

They say they are going to America, but I don’t know if rice will suit their taste. These days, there are Korean restaurants in the U.S., but you probably can’t go to Koreatown every time.

Also, I did not specifically ask which school I was going to. Are you renting an officetel or moving into a dormitory?

If possible, it would be better to go into the dormitory.

“No, what am I thinking! “Come to your senses, Jang Young-guk!”

He shook his head vigorously, as if trying to shake off the thoughts that were filling his mind. Only then does the beach appear in front of you.

“I guess I’ll be able to see Chupungsa (秋風詞) sometime next year.”

This is the working title of a movie filmed in Hong Kong. It was a work that directly quoted the title of a classic poem by Tang Dynasty poet Li Baek.

As you can see from the title, it was a movie with a deep longing for a past love.

Because it was the return film of director Wang Jinyang, who once dominated the Hong Kong film industry, there was a lot of interest not only in China but also in Korea. I can assure you that the movie will be a box office success.

As I look at the sea for the first time in a while, I am reminded of the night I had drinks with director Jinyang Wang.

It’s been so long since we’ve had such a deep discussion and debate about movies together, and I never imagined that anyone would feel this way except director Baek Jang-hoon.

After all, it was not easy in the movie world to treat each other as equal filmmakers regardless of their experience and age.

Actually, it’s not that there were no problems while filming the movie. It was because of the difference in personality with the director. It didn’t matter if only one person had a perfectionistic personality, but since both people were like that, the staff and other actors died.

Because of this, there was a time when the Hong Kong actress who played the female lead refused to leave the vehicle while filming. My father is the leader of a triad or something.

If you think about that, our country is still pretty good. You can’t be that forceful on set.

“I think it would be okay to work with Yeonsu again.”

I turned around and Yeonsu’s face appeared in my mind again. No matter how hard I tried to change the subject, I kept thinking about the kiss from a few days ago.

It’s not that I didn’t like it, but while filming the movie in Hong Kong, I thought that Yeonsu would be a good fit for the other role. I thought it would be perfect for the image to be innocent and pretty.

“ah! “It won’t work!”

I jumped up from my seat to avoid thinking about training anymore. Then he took off his jacket to cool his head. It didn’t matter because it was a place where not only tourists but also locals came and went.

Looking at the blue sea overlooking the low cliffs, I feel like I have returned to my childhood.

The preliminary field trip for filming has significant implications in many ways.

Usually, preliminary field trips to drama filming locations are conducted when the programming itself becomes visible. Because of this, writer Min Su-jin is more motivated than ever.

Isn’t he like being abandoned by his parents, where he had been working all along?

If MBS had not reached out to me, I might not have set foot in the broadcasting station again out of pride.

“Producer Kim is here!”

“Let’s go slowly. Slowly.” Why is writer Min so fast? Were you on the sports team by any chance?”

PD Kim Woo-hyung was dying as he climbed the steep slope. In the hot May sun, beads of sweat run down my back.

It had been a long time since I had been on a business trip, so I was excited, and since this was near the beach, I even imagined going on a cruise ship.

However, if I had known how to climb a mountain like this, I would have sent an assistant director instead of myself.

“This is where the filming took place!”

“What filming location?”

“There’s a famous PD who returns to CP this time. This is where he filmed his debut film, Man in August.”

“here?”

Kim Woo-hyung wiped the sweat that was forming on his forehead with his sleeve and looked around curiously. When it comes to drama filming locations, there’s usually at least one sign posted there. It may not be because there are many tourist attractions nearby.

As if reading Kim Woo-hyung’s thoughts, Min Soo-jin continues.

“It’s a location that doesn’t have much space for filming. I think it was removed from the list of tourist attractions in the first place because it wasn’t a road that people often visit. Rather, Jagalchi, which depicts the protagonist’s life as a child, received more attention.”

“okay? “But why here?”

“Actually, this was the place that impressed me the most when I was thinking about this work. One day, there was a rerun of an old drama on TV, and the man from August appeared. “This synopsis came to mind when I saw the child actor jumping off this low cliff.”

The scenery unfolding below the low cliff is truly spectacular.

The blue sea shines like a jewel and seagulls circle as if painting a picture in the sky. The approaching wind seems to carry the scent of the sea with it.

“Writer Min’s synopsis comes to mind.”

“That’s right. No matter how I look at it, I wonder how on earth they chose and found a place like this. I also had a hard time finding this place. “I met CP Yu in person and was told the exact location.”

“CP?”

The famous producer is the one who has already established a legendary status in the MBS drama department. The youngest CP with the most home runs, he was truly a role model for junior producers.

But for some reason, it is difficult to approach quickly.

“I told you about the synopsis I had written and the sea legends I had researched. You listened with interest and immediately taught me.”

“No matter how you look at it, writer Min seems to have good courage. I can’t even speak properly in front of CP. By the way, according to writer Min’s synopsis, a handsome man should pop out from the middle of the beach.”

“Oh, that’s possible because it’s a drama. Is this possible in reality? How common is a prince appearing from the sea? It’s a story that only appears in legends, isn’t it? When I came here, there was no one around… … .”

with a splash!

It was then.

With a sudden splash, the two people’s eyes naturally turned to the bottom of the shallow cliff. Soon, the eyes of writer Min Su-jin and producer Kim Woo-hyung simultaneously became the size of flower lamps.

At the sight of a person appearing between the blue waves. Bright sunlight shines on the wet hair of a man leisurely swimming in the sea.

I am mesmerized by the exceptionally blue waves that contrast with the chiseled lean upper body, broad shoulders, and white skin.

Min Su-jin, who was looking at the scene, rubs her eyes and speaks as if she is fascinated.

“The Mermaid Prince?”
