Chapter 493
It was definitely a big help to have Moon Chang-sik standing there.
“How was the acting?”
“You did well, you know?”
“If I had to give feedback?”
“Ah, then during the acting earlier…”
Being my acting teacher, he pointed out a lot of things.
He particularly highlighted the habits I had while acting.
As expected of a great actor, he sees things differently.
“Oh, I see… Oh…”
Moreover, I hadn’t heard any criticism about my acting these days.
Moon Chang-sik’s feedback was truly helpful.
“Well, in the next scene, as you mentioned…”
Honestly, I wondered if it was okay to have outsiders watching while we were filming like this…
But since it was Moon Chang-sik, no one said anything.
Rather…
“It’s nice to see everyone here!”
“Oh, Yun-sung! It’s been a while.”
Unlike Kang Yun-sung, who carefully approached and started talking.
Anyway.
Throughout the filming afterward, I received a lot of help from Moon Chang-sik.
Receiving this kind of teaching made me nostalgic.
Back in the day when we filmed Lady Soo-yeon, I learned so much.
“It’s been a while since I’ve had guidance like this.”
“Yeah.”
Thinking back, it seems I haven’t filmed that much with Moon Chang-sik.
Didn’t we only work together for the first two projects and then separated for the rest?
Now that I’ve independently gained some experience.
“I hope you’ll take good care of me again in season 2.”
“Yeah, it’ll be nice to film together after a long time.”
Since we’ll be filming together from the start in the credits for season 2.
I’ll need a lot of help in various ways.
Being his student, he should be obliged to do this, right?
In return, I’ll give him the right to brag that his student is Kim Soo-hyun.
Having a student like Buhwang must be quite an honor.
Anyway.
As a result of receiving such feedback while continuing the filming.
“Cut! That was great!”
With the director’s satisfied shout, we successfully wrapped the scene.
“Wow, I wish you could come every day!”
“Haha.”
“Your acting is really improving, Soo-hyun.”
Since it was the last episode of Yeon-ah, our filming times had been getting longer lately.
Thanks to Moon Chang-sik’s feedback, we finished remarkably quickly.
“Now, there aren’t many scenes left, right?”
“Yep, I think we’ll probably wrap it up by next week.”
“Sigh, that’s a shame. I enjoyed filming.”
“I feel the same. I hope there’s another opportunity someday.”
“I’ll wish for that opportunity to come soon.”
If possible, hopefully not another project.
I hope this drama does well so that we can have a season 2.
Then, Yeon-ah’s background would also step beyond school, allowing for various filming locations.
Just imagining it sounds fun.
“Well then, we’ll head inside now.”
“Yes! Take care.”
After finishing the filming like that.
I changed back from Yeon-ah into Kim Soo-hyun and got into the car.
“Next is the advertising shoot, right?”
“Yes, this should finish quickly.”
Just like Moon Chang-sik shot an advertisement yesterday, I have an ad schedule booked as well.
This time, it’s for a cosmetics-related advertisement, and I remember receiving a lot of samples.
“Well then, let’s go.”
After that, I took Moon Chang-sik with me to the shoot location, turning the filming set upside down.
Successfully finishing the advertisement shoot, we came to Sangshik Entertainment’s gym.
“Second day in a row, huh?”
“You haven’t been coming often lately.”
“Hahaha… It’s been cold.”
Thinking about it, it seemed like I was having a day too similar to yesterday with Moon Chang-sik.
But since we both attend the same gym, what can I say?
The patterns of actors are pretty much the same.
I guess it feels that way because the car and the gym are the same.
Anyway….
“Shall we get started?”
“Yes.”
Since I had changed into workout clothes, it was time to exercise.
By the way, both my clothes and Moon Chang-sik’s from yesterday are the same brand.
I received so many of them that I’ve given out a bunch.
So, it seems like Moon Chang-sik wears them frequently too, just like me.
This will surely impress Madam.
“As my manager, you must help me with my workout.”
“…Kang-seok, you’ve been working hard, huh?”
“Hey, what are you talking about?”
Our manager, Park Kang-seok, has a high level of job satisfaction.
With my level, I’m quite a good actor, right?
Besides, isn’t it common sense for a manager to give a personal trainer to an actor??
At least, that’s how it’s been in my acting career.
“Let’s start with the treadmill.”
So, taking my manager and PT teacher Moon Chang-sik along, I began to work out earnestly.
“After running, let’s start with the machines here…”
Despite looking a bit wary, Moon Chang-sik faithfully carried out his role as a PT teacher.
Not surprising for a dedicated trainer; he seemed genuinely into it.
“I can’t do this anymore…”
“Let’s do two more sets.”
“I’m already doing more than usual…”
“That’s probably the standard when you do it alone.”
…Did he get a bit emotional there?
It’s hard to tell with his poker face.
What’s certain is…
“I’m dying here.”
“Then let’s do one more and die together.”
He’s seriously pushing me hard.
“What am I going to do about tomorrow’s schedule…?”
“You don’t have a schedule tomorrow, do you?”
“How did you know?”
“I received everything during the handover meeting.”
Darn you, Park Kang-seok… You’re so thorough.
No wonder he was being unyielding.
“Okay, take a 30-second rest, and let’s move to the next machine.”
“…You’re not holding a grudge about yesterday and today, are you?”
“Me? How could I do that?”
“….”
Right, would Moon Chang-sik even do that?
Currently, he’s the hottest actor in South Korea, globally famous and all that.
“Okay, if everyone’s rested, let’s move to the next machine.”
…There’s a lot of enthusiasm, but I doubt there’s no emotion.
Anyway, once we finished our workout.
“I have no energy left to move.”
“You need to go eat something.”
Next, we had to have dinner…
How long has it been since I worked out like this?
My legs are wobbling.
“Could you help me up?”
“Is this manager or servant duty?”
“…There isn’t much difference, right?”
Aren’t they pretty much the same?
Checking the schedule, helping out a bit, and so on.
True, there’s no superiority among jobs, but…
Being a servant feels a bit more high-status, right?
“Well, there honestly isn’t a huge difference.”
Anyway.
Moon Chang-sik grabbed my arm and helped me up.
“Whoa.”
I was laying comfortably relaxed, but being pulled up suddenly surprised me a bit.
“You’re strong, huh?”
“Well, I am a PT teacher now.”
“True, I must be light, right?”
“It was a predetermined conclusion.”
Anyway, now that I’m up, I headed to the gym’s shower room to take a shower.
After changing clothes, I got back into the car.
“Did you find a good restaurant?”
“Yes, there are many good places nearby.”
“Did you get the list from Kang-seok?”
“Yes, I did during the handover meeting.”
Ah, Park Kang-seok, as expected.
He conveyed all the crucial information well.
Since there are some good restaurants around Sangshik Entertainment, I looked forward to it.
So, bringing the cameraman along, we went to a barbecue restaurant.
“I’ll pay here.”
Normally, I would pay with the company card, but since it’s filming today, I decided to treat them as the actor.
“That’s nice. I’ll enjoy it.”
“Yes, yes. Since you taught me how to work out, eat up!”
Things like this are what actors should be doing for their colleagues.
“Do you grill meat well?”
“Yes, just leave it to me.”
Moon Chang-sik grilled the meat.
I’m not good at grilling it myself.
When I usually come out to eat meat like this, I let others do the grilling.
As long as I pay, that’s all that matters.
I don’t know if Moon Chang-sik thinks meat is an expensive food or not.
Anyway, after enjoying the delicious barbecue.
“Thank you for the meal.”
“Yes, let’s head home now.”
Moon Chang-sik drove me back home.
“Well, I’ll be going inside now.”
“Yes! Rest well, actor.”
“Hm, you’re still my manager, though.”
“I’ll still be your manager until today is over.”
His career consciousness is pretty solid.
Is being a manager his destiny?
Though judging from his academy experiences, he seems fit for anything.
“Staff, thanks for your hard work too.”
“Oh, yes….”
While greeting, I also acknowledged the cameraman who had helped me throughout the day.
“Well, I don’t think I had that fun of a day.”
Honestly, I feel a bit disappointed.
Having used Moon Chang-sik as my manager, I feel like I passed through a rather ordinary day, didn’t I?
“Excuse me? What do you mean by that…?”
“I mean, it’s entertainment, but it felt way too much like documentary footage.”
With it feeling this way, won’t there be any standout scenes?
Since I was carrying around Moon Chang-sik as my manager, I should have roamed around freely.
“A documentary?”
However, upon my commentary, the cameraman tilted his head as if to say, “What are you talking about?”
Hmm, could it be that what was filmed actually turned out alright?
“As long as it doesn’t seem wrong, that’s fine.”
Well, as long as the filming team is satisfied, that’s good enough.
Besides, we filmed two days’ worth of content anyway, so they’ll edit it to find the scenes they want.
The details can be checked in the studio once the editing is done.
And so, like that.
“Then, everyone, please go home safely.”
“Yes, take care.”
I sent off Moon Chang-sik and the cameraman.
Dragging my tired body from the workout, I returned home.
“I’m back.”
“What about dinner?”
“I ate.”
Returning home, Mrs. Jang was watching TV.
Just as I entered, Moon Chang-sik was appearing in the drama she was watching.
“Is that Chang-sik?”
“Wow, he’s so handsome.”
“Yeah, I guess so.”
“You filmed together, right?”
“Yeah, just wrapped one shoot a moment ago.”
“What?”
Seeing Moon Chang-sik in the drama feels oddly different.
Just a moment ago, I was in the car he was driving, finishing up a schedule.
Moreover, he even served coffee, taught me how to work out, and grilled meat for me.
…Thinking about it, I feel like I had it pretty good today?
Now I understand why the staff were in good spirits.
“I’ll head to my room now.”
“Don’t go in; come talk about the filming.”
“It’s going to broadcast, so don’t come in.”
Well, I used Moon Chang-sik where I could, but I have things to do.
Today’s schedule is technically over, but…
The real last part of my day.
The broadcast is still ahead.
And so, that night, I wrapped up a fruitful day with the broadcast.
