A Genius Writer Loved by an Actress 46
With my daughter~ With my daughter~
A good sound to listen to anytime.
When the beautiful bell of Blancne rang, the cafe owner Song Seon-ah looked at me and smiled. It was always a sweet smile.
“Writer. welcome. I was waiting for you to answer the phone.”
On the last day of the holiday, the cafe may have been open, so I called ahead of time.
It was closed until yesterday, but today it is wide open, so I immediately ran to Song Seon-ah’s answer to come and play.
“Everyone is resting. Isn’t it just the boss who broke his uniform?”
“It’s good to have a uniform. Ho Ho. what do you want to eat? The writer and the person who came with you…”
After the welcome greeting, Song Seon-ah’s eyes turned to Oh Sang-sik next to me. But the moment I saw him, Song Seon-ah’s eyes widened even more.
He seemed to recognize director Oh Sang-sik.
“Ooh! No wonder… Director Oh Sang-sik!”
“Oh, it’s an honor to recognize you. You know the original drama, but you don’t know the director. hahaha.”
Oh Sang-sik had a modest smile, but he didn’t like Song Seon-ah, who recognized him.
“Of course I do. I auditioned for ＜I’m going without hesitation＞ in 2016.”
“Oh, is it like that? What was the result?”
“It went down nicely. So now you are the boss of Blancène.”
“Oh, I guess. hahaha.”
Oh Sang-sik was a little perplexed.
At the cafe I followed without much thought, the young and pretty female president recognizes me at a glance.
But I don’t think that relationship will be a very pleasant memory for the other person.
“I don’t think the director remembers me at all.”
“Oh, I’m sorry I met so many people.”
“no. It is natural.”
Song Seon-ah smiles while looking at Oh Sang-shik.
thud!
At that time, Oh Sang-sik’s heart suddenly fell.
It is an iron-walled heart that has never been in a proper relationship until the age of 40, no, no one has ever entered the heart.
I felt like I was disarmed by Song Seon-ah’s smile.
Is it because of an unexpected meeting in an unexpected place?
“Ah, me. When it comes to auditioning for ＜Going Without Hesitation＞, it’s when I’m the most arrogant. I must have said something rude, but I’m taking this opportunity to apologize.”
It was Oh Sang-sik who was even spitting out the wrong words.
Song Seon-ah smiled even wider as she waved her hands.
The Indian dimples that fit snugly above the cheekbones looked more attractive.
“no. no. How bad was my acting back then? You never said anything rude. What can I give you anyway? Order it and we will make it delicious for you.”
Song Seon-ah straightened her posture and turned her gaze to the force machine.
Greetings are here.
I asked director Oh Sang-sik first.
“Director, what would you like to eat?”
“yes. It’s still a little hot. I’ll have an iced Americano.”
“I am the same. Cookies and cake, please.”
“all right.”
I had a bit of an argument with director Oh Sang-sik that we would do the calculations with each other, and in the end, I paid with my card. Because I brought you here.
Then, we took a seat in a nook where we could have a quiet conversation.
Director Oh Sang-sik looked around the inside of the cafe and opened his mouth.
“It’s the first time I met Ji So-young here.”
“yes. I opened the door over there and came in, and at first glance I recognized that it was ‘Chaerin’.”
“Yeah, it looks like a black-and-white atmosphere to me. The coffee smells good and the interior is comfortable.”
Director Oh Sang-sik turned his eyes to the counter in the middle of the conversation even with me. It seems that he was deeply impressed by Song Seon-ah.
“Then, after visiting Blancnois, did you name the cafe where ‘Chae-rin’ works ‘Black and White’?”
“Oh, not that. ‘Black and White’ is a name I’ve been thinking about for a long time. I liked the simplicity and simplicity of the word black and white, so I named it that way from the beginning.”
“Oh, is it such a coincidence?”
He stroked his chin with his thumb and forefinger as if in thought.
“why? Is there any secret in the name of black and white?”
“Rather than a secret, blancnois means white and black in French.”
“Oh yeah?”
“So I thought the writer saw Blancnois and named it black and white.”
“Oh, not at all.”
I was surprised too.
‘Black and White’ and Blancnois were the same name.
“Well, what does it matter? I got inspiration from a cafe I stopped by by chance, and I write good articles… After all, people who succeed will still pick up money even if they fall backwards. hahaha.”
Oh Sang-shik laughs out loud,
Song Seon-ah brought drinks and desserts on a tray.
“The coffee and dessert you ordered came out.”
“Gosh. Bring it yourself.”
I got up quickly and took the tray.
“no. You came to me during the Chuseok holiday… And honestly, I didn’t know that the writer and I would come again.”
“yes?”
What else does this mean?
“Since Soyoung is no longer working here, I thought that the writer would never come. But I can’t tell you how grateful I am and how happy I am to have found you like this.”
“It’s unbelievable. How good is Blancne and coffee, but I don’t come here.”
Did you have such a misunderstanding?
“is that so? Ho Ho. Oh, this is a freshly made vanilla cannoli. Try it once.”
“thank you. Hmmm, the soft scent vibrates at the tip of my nose. I will eat well.”
“yes. Then talk.”
Song Seon-ah turns back after saying hello.
Director Oh Sang-sik’s eyes did not fall from her.
‘uh? This is a scene I saw somewhere… Last time Hankyul was like that, maybe.’
“Um, huh, huh.”
After coughing a couple of times, I was able to draw the attention of director Oh Sang-sik again.
“Ahh. Author. Well, we should talk about our opal.”
“Ah yes.”
“It’s easy if the director and the writer talk a little bit first.”
“Yes.”
After thirsting with an iced Americano and tasting some dessert,
“Director. What do you think of Episode 7 Jeong Joo-hak Part?”
I asked first.
“Wait.”
Director Oh took out the script and started reading it down. I read it during the meeting earlier, but just to be clear, I’m only going through the Jeongjuhak part quickly.
The soft eyes that looked at Song Seon-ah disappeared,
All of a sudden, only cold thoughts and analysis enveloped him.
“Ha, this.”
“What do you think?”
“It is a significant challenge in many ways. In some ways, it can be called the extreme.”
“Also. You saw it right.”
Pretend if you pretend.
Director Oh seemed to come up with the calculations for ‘Jung Joo-hak’ with just the script. Of course, I think the same.
“It seems that the success of Opal Juice will depend on how it embodies Jeongju and the Five Mountain Gods.”
“Yes. The main characters seemingly are Gil Byeong-soo and Han Ji-hyun, but in the end, Jeong Joo-hak is the most important. It’s all about how you deal with this… it’s a lot bigger than it was at first.”
Director Oh said, looking at the script over and over again with an infinitely serious expression.
“First of all, I will be in charge of Team A until episode 6, and from episode 7 onward, I will have to switch with Team B.”
Team A refers to the filming team of Gil Byeong-soo and Han Ji-hyun, and team B refers to the filming team of Jeong Ju-hak. It is customary for coaches to take charge of Team A all the time, but Coach Oh declared that he would switch to Team B midway through.
“If the director does that, I’m relieved as well.”
“Considering the importance of Jeongjuhak, it is natural. By the way… Who’s in charge of Jung Joo-hak?”
Director Oh Sang-shik paused for a moment before asking. It’s like saying it once.
I know.
Who is in charge of this important ‘Jeongjuhak’?
‘Gil Byung-soo’ and ‘Han Ji-hyun’ both watched Gam Woo-hyuk and Min Yu-ri, and the narrative came out together. The fact that I didn’t put any time or effort into capturing and writing the character.
But ‘Jung Joo-hak’ was different.
I wrote the characters with a lot of effort, starting with whether to solve the characters as a genre or a three-dimensional one,
Then, I completely overturned the script I had written and even re-written it.
In the process, ‘Jung Joo-hak’, who was in his 40s, turned into his 20s.
ha~
Thinking back on that process brings tears to my eyes.
What kind of actor can bear the weight of ‘Jung Joo-hak’ that was born like that?
“It’s not that I didn’t think of actors who could play the role of Joo-hak Jeong… well, something like Baek Hak-hak or Seol Hyeong-gyu. By the way···”
“…By the way?”
I also seriously thought about Baek Hak Hak and Seol Hyeong-gyu. One had smoke and the other had looks.
“Maybe the writer has the same thoughts as me. The point is that the two actors are already imprinted as villains by the public, which is rather negative. From my point of view, Joo-hak Jeong is a character whose two opposite narratives intertwine, so a new character is needed. Otherwise, it will be difficult.”
“You saw it right. My thoughts are the same. Jung Joo-hak when he’s not yet a monster is infinitely ordinary, but when he becomes a monster, it becomes intense.”
“Right. Are there any Korean actors in their 20s who can play this?”
“I do not know.”
“Still, if I had to guess… who would it be?”
“Um… If it’s Forrest, there’s probably Se-jin Park.”
Having said that, he smiled bloodily without saying who came first.
Park Se-jin is an actress who insists on only appearing in movies, saying that the drama system never gives proper acting.
At one time, there were protests from the drama producers, and I got a haircut, but I thought I would do it now because I was stubborn.
There was also a lot of smoke.
It was difficult to get him to appear in a drama, but he was an actor I didn’t want to do.
“See you again, well, Choi Won-jae is fine, but… He won’t let his agency play a villain. And since I bulked up my body, I’d rather be closer to Gil Byung-soo.”
I nodded as if in acknowledgment. The more we talked, the more ‘Jung Joo-hak’ was being exhausted.
sigh deepened.
“Jung Joo-hak is in his twenties with a skinny body and some kind of pain…
Are you dry and sore?
An image that suddenly came to mind!!
‘okay! I have! I’m skinny, anxious, sick, and learning in my twenties.’
Ah~~~
right. That’s it!
Actor Lee. dong. min.
Lee Dong-min rushed in uncontrollably.
The same Lee Dong-min who delivered the panic disorder medication during the sudden mission!
“Director. There is one person… there is one person.”
I held my breath and opened my mouth.
Because I couldn’t bear to say his name out loud.
“Is there one person? Who?”
“I’m Lee Dong-min, an actor! You also filmed ＜Summer of Twenty-one with the director last year.”
“Oh, Lee Dong-min.”
However, unlike me, who was engulfed in excitement, director Oh Sang-sik was calm.
“Um… Dongmin doesn’t have a very nice mask, is he? Also, the acting isn’t bad, but she’s good at things like Umchina… To take on ‘Jung Joo-hak’.”
Director Oh did not like Lee Dong-min.
Well, it has to be. Because you wouldn’t have seen Lee Dong-min now.
its gloomy.
its gloomy.
that sickly.
of that deep despair.
You might think so because you haven’t seen Lee Dong-min now.
“Writer… let’s think about it some more. The character Jung Joo-hak is the most difficult character ever…”
Director Oh tried to divert my attention, but all I could think of was Lee Dong-min.
“Director. Lee Dong-min, by any chance, how was the filming last year?”
“Well… I lost my concentration a little bit later on.”
“Perhaps, mentally?”
“Well… I was obviously very motivated at first, but then I got really tired. I thought it was because I was from an idol.”
“What else?”
“Um… I paid a lot of NG. When working with an actress… I think it was especially true in the scenes of hugging or holding hands. At first, he was very friendly with Yoo Jung-an, so the atmosphere on set was good, but it got harder and harder.”
The nine-tailed Yoo Jeong-an?
I smell something.
