I Will Live As An Actor

I Will Live as an Actor Episode 163

The atmosphere of South Port always puts my mind at ease.

When I look at the quiet waves singing the night sea, the thoughts that have been stuck in my head are erased like lies.

I thought it was a good idea to come down and leave behind the complicated life in Seoul. At that moment, the face of a tomboyish girl is pushed in front of my nose.

“Oppa, what are you thinking about?”

It was Jisoo. Since I was a child, I have always grown up as an only child, so I do not know the bond between siblings. However, looking at Jisoo, I naturally feel that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have a younger sister.

“I’m thinking about what to do about Jisoo’s fight with your friend today. Jisoo, I heard you even had a nosebleed.”

“When did I have a nosebleed?” !”

“Jisoo, all your friends told me that you got into trouble with a boy.”

“Gyeong-seon, that bitch made a fuss! And I only had a nosebleed, but the guy who hit me turned from a nun-taeng to a night-taeng.”

“You’re the kid who ran away as soon as he saw me at the school gate today, right? “Shouldn’t you have caught me and scolded me?”

“It’s okay, I can solve it on my own. That kind of bastard is going to be knocked out with just one punch from me! Let’s take a look at the form! Shoo shoo shoo shoo!”

Jisoo was making noises with his mouth and throwing his fists in the air. At times like this, it feels like I’ve gained a younger brother rather than a younger sister.

But I don’t hate that look. On the contrary, it just looks infinitely cute.

“Why did you fight?”

“Why did you fight? That bastard is making fun of me. “It’s no big deal, so don’t worry about it.”

Although he has a chatty appearance, he is a child with deeper feelings than his peers. I don’t talk about the male student who badmouthed me for fear that I might get hurt.

Rather, to change the subject, he flares his nostrils and smiles comically.

“Oppa, I think the meat is all cooked. “Let’s go quickly!”

It is a place used as a simple stomach pantry. It faces the dock, and sometimes locals would come here and eat grilled fish or meat. It was like a camping spot for locals only, with no tourists knowing anything about it.

The rays of light from the lighthouse shining alone against the sea and the feast of fish lanterns filling the horizon make you feel as if you are eating fish in the middle of the sea.

“England, the meat is cooked so well! Come quickly and sit down.”

Mr. Kim is grilling meat with charcoal soot on his face. They took into consideration the possibility that if they went to a restaurant, people would recognize them and flock to them.

His mother is next to Mr. Kim, wiping the sweat from his forehead with a happy smile.

“Sleep, brother. Ah~”

Jisoo wraps the wrap by hand and puts it in my mouth. Without refusing, I ate it in one bite and wrapped the wrap.

Jisoo is preparing to open her mouth with an expectant look in her eyes. But my hand goes towards Mr. Kim, who grilled the meat.

“Mister, please take a bite too. You probably couldn’t eat it properly because you were grilling the meat. Here you go.”

“Uh uh. okay… !”

Jisoo made a pouting expression as if she was dissatisfied, but soon she smiled when she saw my father and I looking at each other and smiling.

After grilling and eating all the meat and cleaning up, I walked away with Mr. Kim. It was a men-only time.

The sound of crashing waves crashing against the breakwater is always refreshing. My uncle and I both continued walking without saying a word. After seeing it today, I was convinced.

I also felt this in Seoul, but the fact that my mother is living a happy life. So much so that I can’t even compare it to my past life.

“mister.”

I looked at the rolling waves, then turned my head and looked at Mr. Kim. There was still charcoal soot on the man’s face. And he also seemed nervous. I hugged the man and elaborated.

“Thank you day.”

The man was taken aback by the sudden hug, but then he patted my back as if he had read my mind.

interview.

After resting in Namhang and returning to Seoul, the first schedule I had was none other than a media interview.

In any case, the agency has withstood pressure from the media and prevented it. Even the excuse of adjusting to jet lag was meaningless, so now it was time to tackle the interview.

“It is truly an honor to meet actor Jang Young-guk!”

He was a reporter who was so kind that it seemed excessive. She was looking at me with bright eyes, similar to the way she looks at an object of admiration and envy.

“My name is Kim Seung-ah, a reporter for the Kooksun Ilbo.”

ah.

I remembered that he was someone who always wrote articles that were friendly to me. This has been the case since his debut, so there were rumors that he may have received money from Songwon Entertainment.

However, considering CEO Kim Seong-hwan’s upright nature, this makes no sense.

“This is a side note, but I am a really big fan of Jang Young-guk. I’m really happy to have this interview opportunity. Broadcasters and the Chungmuro area are evaluating that we have built global recognition through filming this Desiderio commercial. How do you feel?”

It’s global recognition.

“I think this is an undeserved assessment. I haven’t achieved any decent results yet, but people around me are praising me so much, so I feel really embarrassed about myself. “I want to be evaluated by the public not through Desiderio’s advertisements, but simply through my quiet work as an actor.”

It was still absurd. Of course, it was true that Desiderio’s advertisement and Giovanni Sponza’s exhibition had raised remarkable awareness, but it had never entered the overseas market.

Rather than raising awareness through advertisements, I wanted to expand my status as an actor.

“I understand that ‘The Outlaw’, which was filmed with director Baek Jang-hoon, has also begun the latter half of the film, scheduled to be released in the first half of next year. In Chungmuro, it is believed that The Outlaw may break Confessions of a Priest, which is a record-breaking film for both films, and I am curious about the thoughts of actor Jang Young-guk, who participated in both films.”

The measure of a commercial film’s success is the number of audiences. However, Confessions of a Priest was not a very successful film in the past, and Outlaw was an unknown work that was never released in the first place.

No matter how much I know the future, it is difficult to judge the butterfly effect caused by me.

“There is no doubt that both works are good works. “Before judging the measure of box office success, I am truly grateful that as an actor I was able to appear in two works, Confessions of a Priest and Outlaw.”

Seungah Kim smiled with satisfaction. I don’t know if it’s because he likes my attitude of humility or because he’s my biggest fan.

“In the case of actor Jang Young-guk, he is also famous for his broad acting spectrum compared to his relatively young age. Even if you look at the works you have actually appeared in, you have played a wide variety of roles that cannot be found among actors of the same age. “Is there an image of the role you are considering for your next project?”

“I don’t have a specific image in mind. And when deciding on an image and choosing a script, there are many times when you get stuck in a certain framework and can’t make good decisions. “Once I pick a script, I just take on that role and do my best.”

If I were to compare it to a novel, it would be similar to starting to write without thinking about the genre in the first place.

After finishing writing, the genre is decided. The same goes for roles. Even if you are given the same script, the image will vary greatly depending on who is acting.

From then on, questions continued to come back and forth. How much time has passed?

“Then let me ask you the last question.”

Kim Seung-ah elaborated with an expression full of tension and excitement.

“Are you confident that you will win the grand prize at this year’s MBS Broadcasting Year-End Drama Awards?”

* * *

People’s eyes gathered together for the acting grand prize.

Not only at Namhang but also at Baek Jang-Hoon Productions, which is working on the latter half of Songwon Entertainment’s editing, everyone is looking intently into the cathode ray tube.

It’s not about seeing the gorgeous red carpet and the faces of actors.

“What happened to Actor Park all of a sudden?”

CEO Kim Seong-hwan stood up happily upon seeing actress Park Soo-young visiting the representative office.

“Mr. Representative, I came here because I thought you were suffering alone. “Other employees were already watching in the conference room.”

“Who said they were complaining?”

“Just looking at your pale face, I can tell you’re suffering.”

CEO Seonghwan Kim could no longer deny it.

It was like a chronic disease that arose after the drama Youth. Although the drama Youth recorded amazing viewership ratings, it ultimately did not receive the honor of the grand prize.

The frustration that CEO Seonghwan Kim felt at the time was enormous. Even though he did not vote in front of the United Kingdom, which was the party involved, didn’t he feel guilty that everything happened because he had no power?

“Stop it, get up now, let’s go to the conference room and watch it together. The grand prize will be announced in a little while. It’s okay because the CEO has such a small liver. “Britain won’t support you?”

Hearing Park Soo-young’s advice, Kim Seong-hwan felt like cold water was being poured on his head. No matter what anyone says, England was an actor who was like his own child.

Regardless of teaching, haven’t you been watching it since you were young? I wanted to see with my own eyes the history he was writing in the future.

Meanwhile,

“Oh, the director is here!”

Everyone was gathered in the common conference room of Baek Jang-Hoon Productions. Wouldn’t the staff be out in full force late in the evening so that strangers would think it was a year-end party?

It was none other than to support England. The lead actor who filmed with them was nominated for the grand prize.

Director Baek Jang-hoon also nods briefly and sits down.

Director Baek Jang-hoon was looking directly at the TV with a kind smile, like a grandfather.

The relationship we first met at the Busan International Film Festival continues to this day.

I’ve met many actors so far, but I’ve never met one who gave off the same British vibe.

So, unlike others who were nervous, I was confident.

‘Just watch.’

The fact that this child will leave history in the Korean acting world in the future.

At that time,

people were gathered again at the Namhang Merchants’ Association building. As the acting awards progress, everyone is moving forward as if they will be sucked into the cathode ray tube.

At the center was none other than England’s mother. Is it really possible not to tremble? No matter how grown up my son was, he was still very young.

At that moment, a live camera shows the faces of the actors nominated for the grand prize. The faces of some of the best actors in Korea are passing by.

Finally, Britain is shown. As if aware of Lee Hye-sook’s feelings, England in the picture tube is also smiling.

Seeing Desiderio smiling brightly while wearing his suit, the general public who were observing the acting awards gave out scream-like cheers.

“Our UK is the best!”

“This kid kills the stains on Amman’s clothes. Look, how easy it is to stand out among so many actors.”

“The target this time is definitely the UK. “If you give it to someone who loves it, I’ll take the fish truck and go to the broadcasting station tomorrow!”

Even amidst the noisy laughter of Namhang merchants,

‘Kuk-ah, Guk-ah.’

Hye-sook Lee, a mother from England, is just praying without even paying attention to the upcoming grand prize announcement.

Kim Seong-hoon, who was watching from the side, held her hand. As soon as the warmth arrived, Hye-sook Lee’s trembling subsided.

Soon, the grand prize award announcement follows beyond the cathode ray tube.
