A Genius Writer Loved by an Actress

A Genius Writer Loved by an Actress 57

Jeon Sang-soo’s personal acting practice studio in Daehak-ro.

In the corner of the hallway, in front of the door to practice room 1, manager Jo Geun-young was sitting. He flinched at the heartbreaking voice of Lee Dong-min from inside.

“Help me. My head… I think my head is going to break. Here···here···medicine and injections were given here, please···please please··· medicine···Here must be the medicine. please give me some medicine!! It’s like scraping the skull bone with a knife. ahhhh The head is split… it’s split. You bastards!!!!… uhhhh.”

Lee Dong-min is playing a scene in which ‘Jeong Joo-hak’, suffering from the aftereffects of a faulty clinical trial, visits a pharmaceutical company and begs for help.

He was on his knees, banging his head on the floor. Jeon Sang-soo laid out the books in advance, so it was a shame.

‘Dongmin is this guy. What has happened in the meantime? How does smoke develop to this extent?’

He was dubious until his disciple Lee Dong-min, who had not been seen for a while, appeared haggard and presented the script for Opal.

“A villain, and you’re going to take on a three-dimensional villain like this, Lee Dong-min?”

“yes. Teacher. Please help.”

“Of course I can help you… But can you still play ‘Jung Joo-hak’? Being greedy can make your career worse.”

At that time, when he asked to be careful, Lee Dong-min’s eerie eyes were shining.

Jeon Sang-soo did not vomit any more in those eyes that contained a message that was more intense than a hundred words that he could do it.

By the way

When practice actually started, I was worried. Because Lee Dong-min’s acting was to the point of giving me goosebumps.

There was no lie in this acting. I don’t spare myself, but I roll, hit, and break where it says in the script…

You should be able to calm yourself down.

Even now, I thought I would bang my head on the floor according to the script’s fingerprint, so putting the book was a hit. Otherwise, I would not have seen real blood.

Lee Dong-min was really working on acting with the determination that he could die.

like the last one. No, maybe it’s the first time.

“Dongmin-ah. It’s practice, practice. Don’t hit it too hard. Knowing how to take care of yourself before filming starts is also an actor’s job.”

“yes. Teacher. I’ll keep that in mind.”

There was not much advice to give about acting. Other than just conditioning or adjusting my body so that it doesn’t hurt.

Lee Dong-min brought up his dark inner self and matched it with ‘Jeongjuhak’. While Jeon Sang-soo expressed things he hadn’t even thought of.

“help me!!! hehehehe!!”

Jo Geun-young trembles outside the door at the desperate voice of Lee Dong-min.

I even thought that I should go in and dry it off, but I put up with it because I believed him.

In fact, Lee Dong-min’s life these days was that of a man with an upright life.

It was because I only thought about finding health and the role of ‘Jeong Joo-hak’. There was no room for trivial thoughts or useless things to intervene at all.

I wake up early every morning, eat half a bowl of rice, go hiking, take a warm shower, and open the script.

And until Cho Geun-young comes to eat dinner together and take a walk in the park, ‘Jung Ju-hak’ continues. Even after she goes back, he becomes ‘Jung Ju-hak’.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been so exhausted all day,

At 10 p.m., you fall asleep as if you were falling asleep, and the next day, the same life is repeated.

In this way, Lee Dong-min was gradually transforming into Jeong Ju-hak.

***

Oh Sang-sik decided to do what he had been storing in a corner of his heart.

It is to discuss casting with Song Seon-ah, who has been marked for the role of ‘Lee Eun-joo’.

When I saw writer Jaeho Yoon instinctively running to save Yuri Min, I thought there was no reason to hesitate any longer.

‘cancer. If it’s to protect one’s own actor, that’s what it should be.’

I will build a fence right away.

Whether it be porridge or rice.

‘Huh~ I can do it.’

Standing in front of Blanco, I took a deep breath,

With solemn determination, I vigorously opened the cafe door.

uh

However, a different atmosphere.

noisily

crowded

Classics that flow softly in a calm and quiet interior,

I expected the fragrant coffee scent and Song Seon-ah’s refreshing smile, but

noisily

crowded

There was no such thing. It was just like a dottegi market.

The seats were very crowded and crowded, with customers who wanted to take out even when they were full, wandering around the counter.

Besides, there are no part-timers. Song Seon-ah runs here and there by herself.

“Add a shot of caffe latte, please.”

“yes. All right.”

“Where are the straws?”

“Oh, it’s on the shelf over there.”

“There is no piece of cake in the showcase. Boss, have all the pieces of cake been sold?”

“yes. It ran out early. sorry.”

“Hey, wipe the table, please.”

“Oh, wait.”

Song Seon-ah was really busy without even opening her eyes. I didn’t even know that Oh Sang-sik had arrived,

I glanced towards the kitchen and saw empty cups and trays forming a mountain.

‘this. It’s only because Seon-ah is so busy. What do you do when you get sick? Then the acting story will be even more difficult to bring out. If Seon-ah is sick…’

‘I think my heart hurts too.’

I couldn’t even say the words to myself.

‘Let’s help. You have to get out of this situation.’

Oh Sang-sik went into the counter without thinking twice and put on his apron. When I was in school, I also worked part-time at a cafe, and since I have a long track record, this is a breeze.

“Oh, Director. Are you here?…but what are you doing?”

Song Seon-ah was startled by Oh Sang-sik’s sudden jump.

“First, the fire must be put out. I will wash the cup first.”

“Oh, no.”

Song Seon-ah shook her head, but

Even at that moment, there was no time to stop him because the demands of the guests were pouring in.

“president. Leave this to me and do the work.”

“No, though…”

“I’m fine.”

Sang-sik Oh washed the dishes in the sink and then cleaned up the cups and trash on the collection shelf.

Then, he wiped the place where the guests left with a clean towel, picked up the tissue that had fallen on the floor, and even pushed it with a wet wipe once.

Seeing this, Song Seon-ah is restless.

“Director. I’m so sorry. What do you do with this?”

Every time I had a chance, I stopped Oh Sang-sik,

In fact, I was looking for peace of mind while watching the stores normalizing.

“I came here today because I have something to say to Seon-ah. But before I can even say a word, Mr. Seon-ah is about to collapse. Then you can’t. After all, I’m doing this because I like it for my own benefit, so don’t feel burdened.”

Oh Sang-sik skillfully reassures her.

Song Seon-ah was just curious about what she meant.

“What do you mean?”

“Oh, that’s it. I’m not saying this now… I’ll tell you when all the guests leave.”

“yes. Then I will listen.”

“So until then, let’s work together.”

“good.”

So Song Seon-ah and Oh Sang-sik became a team and looked at the store.

Taking orders, making drinks, cleaning, cleaning, greetings…

But were these things fun in the first place?

Oh Sang-sik was surprised at how energetic and excited he was.

Is it similar to the excitement of when I was making my first drama? But I think it’s a little sweeter than that.

Eventually, as time passed, the number of guests gradually decreased, and at some point, it was enough to take a breather.

“Seon-ah, are there usually this many guests? If I do this every day, I will get sick.”

“no. It’s pretty steady though. It’s the first time I’ve come this way. Plus, I suddenly quit working part-time.”

Song Seon-ah, whose cheeks were blushing from how hard she moved, took a deep breath.

“Wait.”

Oh Sang-sik took out a clean handkerchief from his pocket. Because I saw sweat dripping down her forehead.

“Sweat on my forehead.”

“ah. Thank you. Director.”

Song Seon-ah took the handkerchief he gave her and wiped it with sweat.

Then the last two male guests got up. while whispering in a small voice.

-This is where Ji So-young worked part-time.

-Ah, I should have come back then… If that was the case, I would have been drinking the coffee Ji So-young brewed.

-I know. It’s completely crazy. too bad.

– Still, isn’t the boss here so pretty?

-yes. Actually, more than Ji So-young.

So the guests leave

Now, only Oh Sang-sik and Song Seon-ah remain in Blanc Noir.

“I wondered why so many guests came.”

“Iknow, right. Soyoung worked.”

“No.”

“yes?”

“Didn’t you hear the man’s last word? It’s because the boss is pretty.”

Oh Sang-sik’s face turns red after saying it.

Song Seon-ah, whose face turns red when I listen to it.

“Yeah, from the sign…”

Song Seon-ah stood up to clear the awkward air.

I walked to the front door, turned the sign that said OPEN to CLOSED, and drew the curtains. Then I turned off the lights and turned off some lights.

I have nothing to do now…

‘After~.’

Song Seon-ah takes a short deep breath and looks at Oh Sang-sik again.

“If it wasn’t for the director today, it would have been really difficult for me. thank you so much. I will take care of a small part-time job.”

“Oh, no. It’s been a long time since I’ve moved my body, and I just felt refreshed. He is a neat man who has lived on his own for a long time.”

“Ho Ho. He is a coveted part-timer.”

Fortunately, the atmosphere returned to its original place with a light joke.

“By the way, did you have something to say?”

“yes. What to say…”

If you are an aspiring actor, you would be grateful for the director to give you a script, but Song Seon-ah is a non-celebrity, so the case is different.

It was an Oh Sang-sik that I would not readily say.

‘not. If it was writer Jaeho Yoon, I would have been bold. I’ll do it too!’

Oh Sang-shik is equipped with courage by thinking of writer Jae-ho Yoon.

I opened my mouth.

“Here, Sun-ah.”

“yes. Director.”

“My next work is ＜Right Arm Co., Ltd.＞ by Yoon Jae-ho.”

“yes. I know. I heard a conversation with the writer last time.”

“But there.”

“yes.”

“There are places and characters that cannot be missed throughout this drama. Maybe it’s the most important thing in the whole drama.”

“Oh yeah?”

Song Seon-ah shows interest with her eyes wide open.

But at that moment,

thud!

Oh Sang-sik’s heart is pounding again.

‘no. heart! Now we’re talking about work.’

Oh Sang-sik continued with difficult mind control.

“It’s just like here. It’s a cafe. A comfortable cafe with friendly staff like Seon-ah.”

“ah.”

“But more important is the cafe employee ‘Lee Eun-joo’. It plays a decisive role in transforming ‘Jung Joo-hak’ into a demon.”

“Five.”

“A key character who is as pretty and fragile as a single petal, and will drive viewers’ hearts to sorrow in an instant.”

“You’re pretty, but why are you sad?”

“Jung Joo-hak is killing me. Either because I love you so much, or because I hate it so much. ‘Jung Ju-hak’, who has mixed feelings for ‘Eun-ju Lee’, becomes a true villain by killing her.”

“Oh my goodness!”

Song Seon-ah was startled and covered her mouth with both hands.

Thinking that the introduction was a success, Sangsik Oh continued.

“But it’s not easy to find an actress who can take on the important role of ‘Lee Eun-joo’.”

“I think so. I don’t think it’s easy to just listen to. First of all, you have to look pretty. Because you said petals.”

“you’re right. You have to be kind and friendly. A style that always has a smile on his lips.”

“It is.”

“You also have to have sad eyes.”

“Why is that again?”

“In the end, we will meet a tragic fate.”

“Aha. Do you think you have to look for a lead role in order to meet that level of condition? It would be difficult to find such an actor in a minor role…”

‘Lee Eun-joo’ flashed in front of Song Seon-ah.

Strangely, the more I listen to her narrative, the more I feel as I become one with her.

Oops,

The moment I want to do this,

“I need Mr. Seon-ah.”

“···yes?”

“I need Song Seon-ah.”

Oh Sang-sik looked into Song Seon-ah’s eyes and said again and again.

“yes? Need a Blanc Noir? Will you be filming here? . . . You helped me with today’s work, and I can do that much for you.”

“no. We need Song Seon-ah, not a cafe.”

“Ah… no… what does that mean…”

“Please take on the role of ‘Lee Eun-joo’.”

“Ah… Director… I used to be an actor… I was an aspiring actor… but even then I hadn’t heard that I was talented…”

Song Seon-ah’s pupils couldn’t figure out where to go.

Even during my time in Leeds, I couldn’t take on a proper role and ended my life as an aspiring student after auditioning or snooping.

Now come and take on that big role in that big drama!

“Seon-ah. So I did some thinking.”

Even director Oh Sang-shik knows that if her acting is too strong, it will not be included in the drama. So there were conditions.

Will Song Seon-ah accept it?

“Why don’t you just take two lessons from me?”

“A lesson? to the director?”

“yes. Let’s see if there’s a possibility or not. You’ll get to know each other in two lessons. I wonder if Seon-ah will be able to take on the role of ‘Lee Eun-joo’…”

“Ah, Director.”

Song Seon-ah, who was in tears, bowed her head.

“It’s really an honor. Thank you very much.”

Her blood was getting hot.

a forgotten dream.

The excitement of becoming an actor.

I thought it was all over

Will you come again like this?

life, indeed.
