Chapter 65
“If I had to choose one person…”
The moment I was about to say a person’s name after much thought.
“By the way, PD!”
Writer Kang Hyunjin hesitated and said.
“What?”
“I’m going to shoot soon, and I’m very sorry to say this, but…” “Can’t we do ‘The Boss’s Daughter’ in two?”
The writer’s suggestion that no one in the audition had anticipated. Ha Sarang, who heard the proposal, said embarrassingly.
“If it’s two…··. Will the weight increase a lot? Then there might be a problem with the overall filming schedule.”
“Oh, no! I think the weight will be similar to when one actor takes the role. Instead, I think I can draw out more scenes.”
“Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…”
Ha Sarang asked Kang Hyunjin, smoothing her chin as if she was in trouble.
“If you have one more role, you’ll have to change the script a lot, is that okay?”
“Yes. Seeing the two acting right now reminded me of the lines in my head. I think I can use more diverse scenes. Can’t I?”
“Well, I think it’ll be okay because the production cost is enough anyway. However, as far as the role is concerned, I can’t decide on my own, no matter how much I am in charge. I’ll talk to the staff separately.”
Ha Sarang asked Min Kyungsoo this time.
“What do you think, actor Min Kyungsoo?” About having two ‘Daughters of the Boss’.”
“It doesn’t matter if the script comes out before the shooting. I hope the schedule goes as planned as possible
Min Kyungsoo looked at me and asked in a playful voice.
“But actor Kang Jinseok.”
“What?”
“You haven’t told me who did better yet.···. Please tell me. I think those two are very curious, too.”
“··This guy is really…”
Min Kyungsoo with an unknown smile.
It was an embarrassing question that came in at a time when I was relieved that I wouldn’t have to make a difficult decision.
I looked up slightly and saw Yeonsoo and Park Hayeon.
The gaze was too intense.
To the point where it feels like a laser is coming out of their eyes.
‘I think it’ll be a mess if I say it’s hard to distinguish between the best and the best.’’
Everyone’s focus was on me.
“Both of you may come into the work, but don’t argue about who did well and who didn’t.”
As soon as I had no choice but to say what I thought earlier, the Sergeant and PD laughed and said.
“If we shoot together, we’re all in the same team. We don’t have to argue about it, right?”
Min Kyungsoo hit the desk as if he was disappointed.
“Oh, PD. It was a very important moment just now.”
“If you’re really curious, please ask me personally when we’re not here. Well, thank you all for your hard work. Let’s proceed with the remaining auditions.”
“Thank you, right?” said Ha Sarang with her eyes. She smiled slightly and bowed her head in appreciation.
Park Yihan, who stood by the door throughout the audition, said.
“Then, please follow me, the two applicants.”
“···.”
“···Yes.”
Seo Yeonsoo and Park Hayeon got up from their seats with a slightly disapproving look on their faces.
“Thank you. ···”
“Thank you for your hard work.”

Time flew by and the script reading date approached.
In the meantime, after discussions with internal staff, Seo Yeonsoo and Park Hayeon were in charge of “The Boss’s Daughter,” as Kang Hyunjin hoped.
The script was revised a little, but it was completed quickly, so there was no change in the overall schedule.
“···.”
“······”
A bigger problem than that was the two actors who played the role of Oh Minyoung, the younger brother of Oh Manho, sitting opposite the reading room.
It was in 1979 that “Omanho” in the play became a gangster. And the drama began in earnest in 1985.
There is a six-year gap between them, so “Oh Minyoung” was played by two actors.
Only adult actors can cover the difference of 5-6 years with makeup, but not child roles.
“Why are you staring at me like that?”
Lee Nayeon talked to me calmly, as if she didn’t care about the cold atmosphere of the two.
“Oh, you’re here, sir. I’m sorry. I was thinking about something else.”
“You’re here, sir,” is too hard. I’m not as old as you are. Actor Kang and I are a year apart, so you don’t have to be so polite.”
“Ha ha, ha, ha. Yes.”
“So, what were you taking so seriously?”
He spoke quietly, pointing to the two actors in the role of Oh Minyoung.
“They don’t seem to get along very well. It’s my first reading, but if it’s like that
“Oh, the friends who played the role of Oh Minyoung?” The little one is Mo Hyein and the other one is Han Sora.”
“Do you know them?”
“Yes, we’ve worked together before.”
Lee Narin, who drew attention from Mo Hyein and Han Sora, said.
“Well, there are quite a few cases where they have such a war of nerves when they are playing one role. It’s because I think, “What if he acts better than me?”
“Oh, yes.”
“And it’s perfect for viewers to compare. “Like a child vs. an adult.” Well, they’re both children after all.”
Lee Nayeon shrugged, explaining the relationship between the two.
“Don’t worry. But those two are good at acting. Rather, if you have a rival like that, your acting skills will increase, so it’s good. By the way, “··”
This time, Lee Nayeon asked, pointing to one side.
“They’re both unusual. Do you know why?”
“···.”
“···.”
There were Seo Yeonsoo and Park Hayeon.
“I’m sure those two are also like ‘Rival’ as you just said.”
“Oh, I see. The role in “The Boss’s Daughter” has increased to two Gil-Rae, I thought the two actors who were on good terms shared the role.”
When we’re talking about such trivial things.
Drop it!
The door inside the reading room opened, and Staff Sergeant, PD, and several staff walked out.
“The producer is even more haggard than the last time I saw her.”
When all the staff came in, Ha Sarang looked around and said.
“I think everyone’s here, so…” Shall we get started? It’s a little early, but we’d better start quickly and finish quickly.”
Ha Sarang bowed her head as the actors nodded.
“I’ll officially say hello. I’m Ha Sarang, who is in charge of this work. It’s been a while since I’ve been in charge of production at the front line. I will work harder than anyone else so that I don’t hear that it’s a retreat, and for those who believed in me and participated in the work. Thank you.”
a short and bold greeting.
Since then, staff members such as photography directors, art directors, director team leaders, and makeup team leaders have constantly introduced themselves.
It seems that only the leadership level in each field was greeted, but that alone has taken a long time and a lot of manpower has been put into this work.
“Hmm. ‘What should I say?’
And when the staff finished greeting, the actors’ turn came.
I was thinking of an impactful comment that wasn’t as long as the Sergeant and PD did a while ago.
“Kang Jinseok. This….”
A staff member who appeared to be the youngest handed over the microphone to me.
“Come to think of it, Juyeon always said hello first.”’
When I got up from my seat, I felt their eyes focused.
From Min Kyungsoo, who is smiling and smiling, to the unknown staff standing at the edge of the reading room.
I took a big breath and said.
“Hello! It’s Kang, Jin, and Seok! I was very lucky, and thankfully, I got a big part that wasn’t right for me. I’ll act so that I don’t become someone else to other senior actors. Thank you!”
So, starting with my greeting, all the actors’ greetings ended, and the reading began in earnest.
“Shall we get started?”
***
“Studio 139” in Paju City, Gyeonggi Province.
The staff could not hide their nervous expressions in the huge studio, which was nearly 300 pyeong.
“Phew.···. How is the first shooting an action scene?”
A staff member murmured. The staff next to him also sighed and nodded.
“I know. I’m sure there will be NGs for all sorts of reasons, whoo.···”
“If you take a break in the middle to recover your stamina, you can’t go home today.”
“I’ll have to change with Team 2.”
then.
“Dongsik, should I make a bet with you?”
An action actor who was warming up next to the staff said. The eyes of the staff who were complaining were naturally drawn to it.
“Bet? What kind of bet?”
“Today’s scene will be over within three times, so I’ll bet all my appearance fees today.” What do you think?”
“Oh, paying the appearance fee?” Is it a bit strong? Then four times for me.”
“Oh, you’re insured. You’re trying to stretch it out because you made a mistake in part of what could be done in three times.”
“Oh, I’m not that rubbish. Then I thought I’d be scolded by the director. I don’t want to live that long.”
When the action actors were talking.
“Hey, guys. Stop talking nonsense and go in and get ready.”
“Yes. I’m sorry!”
Action actors scattered over martial arts director Choi Songrok’s push.
“Tsk,···. Children. Just try to make an NG.”
The staff asked in a curious voice when they heard the story.
“Am I a martial arts director?”
“What? Oh, I’m sorry. The kids talked without any tension, and said, “···.”
“No, it’s not. I’m glad that the actors are in good condition. More than that….”
“?”
“I think everyone’s confident in filming today…” Are you guys so well prepared?”
A little while ago, I saw a glimmer of hope in the eyes of the staff who were worried about today’s shooting.
Choi Songrok breathed long and said.
“Sup, yes, yes, yes. I don’t know. They’re probably doing that because of actor Kang Jinseok. Kang Jinseok is good at “a lot.”
When the staff heard that, they tilted their heads.
“Kang Jinseok, is really that good at action?”
“You’ll know when you see it. I was born with that friend.”
