Chapter 32
Kang Hoshin’s emotions, actions, and memories were embedded in his body, but for some reason, I felt that it was not enough.
I’m sure there’s no problem with the connotation…’.
I acted under the guise of Kang Hoshin during the audition and the reading, but I didn’t feel enough at that time. Rather, it was a satisfactory performance.
But when I tried to act on the set, I felt a little awkward.
Even now, Kang Hoshin’s eyes, gestures, actions, and speech were able to convey everything, but I didn’t think it was his true self.
“What’s the problem?”
I didn’t feel this way when I was possessed by Minsu before. I could be proud that I really showed ‘Minsoo’ himself.
“Why?”
Even if you start acting like this, you will definitely be able to give a satisfactory and admirable performance.
But I didn’t think I could be satisfied.
That was it.
——
“Stand up!”
“Drag him! “If you rebel, you can kill him!
“Koreans, act like Koreans!”
“Don’t let go because you’re a baby!”
——
At that time, some Japanese imperial troops who could speak Joseon could be heard shouting.
Obviously, “meaning” was being conveyed, but it sounded silly to me, who knew both Korean and Japanese perfectly.
“Wait, you know Japanese?”
Looking back, most of Kang Hoshin’s memories were in Japanese.
Not only words but also writing.
When I got Yeonmi’s memory before, I could copy everything about Yeonmi. Then, of course, Kang Hoshin can also speak Japanese.
It was a fact that I had forgotten before because I didn’t have to use Japanese.
But now that I remembered it, my problems were solved.
Yes, it was the language that was missing.
Language is really remarkable. This is because even if you say the same “meaning,” the feeling is different depending on the language.
For example, which of the two expressions can move the Korean heart more, “I love you” or “I love you”?
Unless you have lived in the English-speaking world for a long time, it will be difficult for you to feel more in the words “I love you” than “I love you.
This is because the language contains the history of the people of that country.
Just as the weight and echo of words formed by decades and hundreds of years of exchanging words of love move the heart.
To complete Nakamura, to move the hearts of the viewers.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The moment I realized, my vision came back to the set.
***
“Stay still!”
“Can’t you stand up straight?”
“You can kill anyone who resists!”
Supporting actors playing Japanese soldiers are running wild in the marketplace. They beat the Koreans mercilessly as they had practiced and prepared in advance.
Producer Na Jinho, sitting across from me, gestured to me.
“I have a good feeling right now!” It seemed to mean, “Get in line!
He started acting right after producer Na Jinho signed him on.
「佐藤。中を片付けろ。整理されたら報告するように。(사토. 안을 정리해라. “Clean up the inside. I’ll report back once it’s sorted..)
Kang Hoshin’s unique voice makes his surroundings freeze. Unlike before, this time it was Japanese.
Yes, yes, yes. As expected, it was.
There was a clear difference between speaking Korean and Japanese. This is the real “Japanese martyr without blood and tears.
After reciting the lines, I waited for Sato’s next line.
“Ha, hi!”
Sato pronounced the line with a slightly different feeling from the script, which seemed a little surprised.
Is that why? Producer Na Jinho shouted.
“Cut!”
***
“Okay! Then let’s call again and go!”
“I’ll go again, number 14!”
“I’m getting ready for number 14!”
“Oh, man, there! Please come out! Why are you eating rice cakes again?”
Producer Na Jinho’s words kept the crew and actors busy. Among them was Jinseok.
Looking at Jinseok, Na Jinho was constantly admiring him.
“I can’t believe you can even speak Japanese…”
After casting Jinseok, Na Jinho and Jo Seokwon wanted to do Jinseok’s lines in Japanese.
This was because they wanted to express Nakamura more realistically.
But he couldn’t speak because he was afraid it would interfere with the actor’s performance.
“So I was really disappointed…
However, Jinseok scratched the itch himself. Even with a fluent pronunciation that was recognized by the Japanese as “Sato.
He wouldn’t have learned Japanese separately. “Did you prepare it alone for this drama?”
Nowadays, actors are looking for overseas expansion, so most of them study foreign languages from an early age.
However, Jinseok was not an actor who grew up under the care of his agency from an early age like those actors.
Yes, I think I studied Japanese for this job.
When this thought came to mind, Na Jinho looked at Jinseok with more loving eyes.
“You’re good at acting too.” He’s strong-willed. He’s handsome, too. His personality is also good. I can’t believe I’m trying this little thing on top of it.
He’s the best actor that all producers and directors want to take.
Jinseok was a perfect actor who could hardly be seen in novels.
Jinseok’s acting began in earnest when Na Jinho admired him alone.
“I am Nakamura. You will live your life looking at me, so remember me well.”
“Joseon, where you will live in the future, is different from the past.
“You must obey His Majesty the Emperor absolutely and obey us who carry out his orders.
“You are the best.
I’ve been making dramas for 20 years, but I’ve never seen such a performance. It was smoke as if my eyes were being washed clean.
After a while, the climax of the scene began.
Jinseok slowly approached Lee Hyunah who was staring at him from the corner of the marketplace.
Some extras and supporting actors tried to block such a real stone.
However, when Jinseok approached Lee Hyunah, she hesitated and stepped back as if someone was pushing her away.
Their expressions on screen seemed to be really afraid of Jinseok.
It was a scripted scene, but Na Jinho didn’t think it was a scene made by extras who acted well.
“There’s no way the extras can act so naturally.” They were probably attracted by actor Jinseok’s acting.
Then Jinseok stopped. In front of her, Lee Hyunah was staring at Jin-seok with a double wick in her eyes.
“—.”
Jinseok stared at Lee Hyunah without saying a word.
Then Jinseok’s face appeared for the first time.
“Gyejip. I won’t let Koreans see me with those eyes.”
If he had been perfectly expressive before, he was now clearly angry and stunned.
“Good for you at last. I will use your years as an example and teach you manners.”
Jinseok grabbed Lee Hyunah’s hair as if he wanted to pull it out after he finished speaking.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
“I don’t think this is acting either…”
Even if it’s a shooting, it’s hard to hold a woman’s hair in a bad way with a normal mindset.
However, as if Jinseok didn’t care at all, he grabbed Lee Hyunah’s hair and dragged her out.
Oh my God.
While Na Jinho hesitated whether to stop or just watch, Han Jehoon ran up to Jinseok with a voice that forced him to be brave.
“Hey, hey, you punk!”
a rather dangerous-looking radical move. I was surprised and tried to stop it, but it was unfortunate to miss the picturesque scenes on the screen.
It still goes according to script. No, if this friend gets hurt at this rate…”.
Contrary to fears, however, it was Han Jehoon who fell down, not Jinseok.
Whoo!
“Oh, my!”
Jinseok kicked Han Jehoon in the stomach without hesitation. No, the correct expression would be to kick him with his feet.
Han Jehoon’s face was distorted by the pain he felt for the first time. It must have been difficult to breathe, so he opened his mouth wide and breathed heavily.
But that was not the end of Han Jehoon’s pain.
Bang! Jinseok kicked Han Jehoon’s leg while still holding Lee Hyunah’s head.
It didn’t even seem like he kicked that hard. But he lost balance and fell badly.
It was like a professional action actor, but not only Han Jehoon but also Jinseok are not professional action actors.
Then it wasn’t acting, it was “real”.
Jinseok threw Lee Hyunah as if he were throwing garbage at the Japanese soldiers.
“Argh!”
Not only the actors who saw it but also the production crew flinched. Na Jinho did the same.
But as the filming continued, no one could go inside.
“Take all the guys who were with that guy.”
The Japanese actors, who were watching Jinseok in a daze, were surprised.
They saluted with discipline as if they had actually become military police.
“Ha, hi!”
Jinseok looked at the scene. In a room full of yelling and screaming, Jinseok looked very calm.
Even though he was the one who created this situation, he didn’t seem to feel any emotions.
If you have to feel something.
I feel satisfied because I did what I had to do.
Jinseok looked at Han Jehoon who was lying on the ground. Then he said to him with a cheeky smile.
“Not only this woman but all the men here have been killed by you. You’re going to die now that you’ve turned against me, okay? Let’s live our lives regretting today’s decision. Like a Korean.”
A mocking smile.
The smile contained the meaning of looking forward to a gray future in which “Han Jehoon” will live in the future.
Han Jehoon shed tears when he heard this.
“—- LOL.”
Originally, Jinseok’s last line was “Take all the guys who were with that guy.
However, Jinseok added a meaningful line.
With this line, Han Jehoon had a reason to make a desperate effort to save Lee Hyunah and other Koreans from the second inning.
Na Jinho, who was watching the scene on the monitor, remembered the conversation between Jinseok and Han Jehoon that he overheard just before filming.
If you want to ad-lib, go ahead. I like ad-libs when I act.
Oh, and he just acts relentlessly. Don’t let it go because you’re a senior. I’m really going to do it.
Maybe it was an ad-lib to pull Lee Hyunah’s head mercilessly and kick Han Jehoon.
“This is the acting of a new actor?”
When all the acting in scene 14 was over, Na Jinho said, swallowing his dry saliva.
“Cut! Cut!”
As Na Jinho shouted, the crew and managers ran onto the set.
“Hey, are you okay? Didn’t you break a bone?!”
“Are you okay?!”
Contrary to the managers’ concerns, Han Jehoon and Lee Hyunah were smiling.
“—-Haha.”
“It’s okay. It’s okay.”
A smile of confidence that a scene he was happy with himself came out. Na Jinho breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
Thus, the first filming of “In Spring Without Flowers” ended perfectly with everyone satisfied.
