Chapter 868: Fallin' (Part II)
In the afternoon, the golden light shines through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, filling the beauty room on the entire floor.
While the warm tones bring visual brightness, it seems to fill the surrounding air with a quiet and beautiful atmosphere, and even the quietly and neatly arranged tables and chairs seem to be extremely harmonious.
In a corner far away from the two figures sitting at the glass coffee table, everyone in the crew was watching with bated breath at the center of the camera's focus, that is, Han Yu and Han Yu, who were performing in the middle of the shooting venue.
Keeping a distance from everyone else, Kim Peter crossed his arms and squinted at Han Woo in the distance, who was performing with Kim Min-ho in the distance.
No one could guess what was going on in his heart at the moment.
Or rather, no one knows what he wants to do next.
But one fact that is now accessible to most of you is ...... They could clearly feel that Han Woo's state during the performance was different from the previous two days.
The word came to my fingertips to describe an extremely relaxed state, and in the eyes of Bai Meijing and others, it was appropriate to use this Chinese idiom to describe the situation they were seeing right now.
The agent Gao Dongkui, played by Kim Min-ho, doesn't need to be mentioned, although he debuted for a few years and played some inconsequential supporting roles, but as someone once said, acting skills have nothing to do with the size of the role.
As a relatively young generation of new actors in the Korean entertainment industry, Kim Min-ho can be selected by the crew of "Eundong", which naturally has his advantages.
What's more, in today's scene, Gao Dongkui played by Kim Min-ho only plays a driving role, and the real protagonist is naturally Ji Eun-ho played by Han Woo, the male protagonist in the play.
Even if it is just a short clip that may be less than five minutes and a few dozen lines that may be edited in the end, it still tests the basic quality of the actor.
A subtle expression on the face, a flash in the eyes, or even a slight change in tone when speaking a line can lead to the failure of the entire performance.
Since this scene is not particularly important, director Lee Tae-kun did not plan to shoot it in a tangential way at the beginning, which is a bit of a waste of time.
Regarding this, after agreeing to Bai Meijing's persuasion to him, he also explained it clearly to Han Yu in advance.
Han Yu knew that this was the middle-aged male director who had not been in contact with him for too long to vent his dissatisfaction with himself, and even there was a bit of school entrance examination in it.
I heard that although Kim Jae-hong, another director of the crew, decided to join the crew after being invited by JTBC TV, the main director Lee Tae-kun was not.
really moved this middle-aged director, who is also well-known in the industry, and made him willing to accept the invitation to direct under the premise that the future of the entire TV series was not clear, according to Bai Meijing's previous disclosure, it was precisely because of the scripts and settings left by Han Yishi.
So like Baek Mi-kyung, director Lee Tae-kun, who also has great expectations for the drama "Dear Eun-dong", naturally did not look forward to Han Woo playing the lead in the drama Ji Eun-ho at the beginning.
Even if it's ...... This is the legacy of someone's mother.
This is generally the case with real directors.
If the screenwriter is responsible for the emotional part of a play, then the director who is in charge of the affairs of the entire crew and is responsible for controlling all the shots of the whole drama should be responsible for the rational part.
is different from Baek Mi-kyung's thinking in terms of feelings and popularity, hoping that Han Woo will play the actor Ji Eun-ho, as the director of "Dear Eun-dong", in Lee Tae-kun's thoughts, Han Woo, a rookie actor who is still too young in comparison, is obviously not a good candidate to play Ji Eun-ho.
It's not just a matter of age, but also the qualifications and acting skills.
As a director who has been in the industry for many years, it is difficult for Lee Tae-kun to believe the talent of any actor, and in his opinion, those experiences that have really been tested over the years and accumulated little by little are obviously more trustworthy.
It is said that this is also the biggest contradiction between Lee Tae-kun, JTBC and Baek Mi-kyung before the filming of the whole drama started.
From the perspective of JTBC and Baek Mi-kyung, Han Woo is an excellent candidate, or rather, in the situation that "Dear Eundong" has become a hot potato in a certain sense in the entertainment industry at that time, Han Woo is their only choice.
However, Lee Tae-kun's opinion is different, compared to Han Yu, he is more willing to use some young and middle-aged actors who are not well-known and may not be particularly outstanding in appearance, but have enough experience.
It's just that in the end, such opinions were resolutely suppressed by JTBC TV and Bai Meijing, a young female screenwriter who is a fan of Han Yishi, with a huge advantage of two to one.
This is also the reason why Han Woo's matter as the leading actor has been finalized for so long, and the relationship between Lee Tae-kun, the director, and Han Woo, the male lead, is still quite cold.
Of course, the same problem exists in Kwon Yoo-ri.
It's just that as an actress, she naturally has to take advantage of male actors, and Li Taekun usually doesn't look at other young female artists for no reason.
So in the end, all the problems came down to one place, and Han Yu alone took on most of the pressure and attention.
Lee Tae-kun is not optimistic about Han Yu, and this concept has not changed much after Han Yu's performance in the first two days.
In the final analysis, Han Yu's performance in the first two days was decent, and there was nothing bad about it, but his performance did not reach the point where it was enough to make people shine.
Although he didn't say much on the surface, Li Tae-kun has not been enthusiastic in the past two days, and under the influence of the vaguely weird atmosphere between him and Han Yu, the rest of the crew seems to have felt something, and they all wisely chose to keep silent and just concentrate on their work.
Whether it is from the position of Han Yu accepting the invitation to play the leading role, or the position of Lee Tae-kun not wanting Han Yu to appear, there is nothing wrong with both of them, and in the final analysis, everyone's common purpose is to make the production of the whole drama better, and it is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong.
For this kind of thing that is not clear at all, even the screenwriter Baek Mi-kyung, who is caught in it, does not try to ease the relationship between Lee Tae-kun and Han Woo.
Whether it was right to choose Han Yu or not, everything still has to be proved by time.
However, what everyone in the crew, including Bai Meijing, didn't expect was that such a stalemate seemed to be at a very unexpected speed, and just today, it seemed that something was finally going to change-
Sitting behind the monitor, director Lee Tae-kun's thick eyebrows were furrowed, his eyes were fixed on the screen on the monitor in front of him, and the expression on his face looked a little as solemn as before, and it seemed to be mixed with a lot of surprise and joy that was difficult to hide.
As I said before, the entanglement between Li Taekun and Han Yu is still based on the same purpose after all, and there is no misunderstanding between them that cannot be solved, and there is no contradiction that cannot be alleviated.
If you want to unravel Lee Tae-kun and unravel those prejudices about Han Yu, in fact, you only need Han Yu to show something that he should have.
It's like ...... It's the same now.
As an actor with several years of rich acting experience, even if he has performed supporting roles in the past, Kim Min-ho's acting skills are still enough to deal with this kind of short clips that are not difficult for him, and what really surprised Lee Tae-kun was Han Woo's performance.
It's not that Lee Tae-kun hasn't watched Han Yu's acting skills in the past, even if he is unhappy in his heart, but his arms can't twist his thighs, as the producer, JTBC has already decided on things, just as the director of the crew, Lee Tae-kun naturally has no ability to turn the situation around, out of the idea of understanding it, he still took a look at Han Yu's past two works.
However, it is not accurate to say that it is two works, it is actually one and a half - although Han Yu has completed the filming of the scene of "The Producer", he has not yet been released after all, so all that Lee Tae-kun can see is the performances that Han Yu presents in front of the audience.
In all fairness, Lee Tae-kun's evaluation of Han Yu's performance is not bad, or rather, as a newcomer, Han Yu's acting skills are quite surprising.
In "Kill Me, Heal Me", the jerky who just debuted is not to mention for the time being, but the performance presented by Han Yu in "The Producer" in which Han Yu played the leading role, Lee Tae-kun has been able to give a score of about 8 points.
Han Yu's progress is very fast, and this eyesight, as a director who has been in the industry for many years, Li Taikun still has it.
But despite Han Woo's good performance, and although he also has a little recognition of Han Woo, Lee Tae-kun still opposes Han Woo's role as Ji Eun-ho.
Potential is one thing, you know, Han Yu's role in "The Producer" is the same age as his own, but in "Dear Eundong", he has to challenge a young and middle-aged character who is 9 years older than himself.
Even in the script, the character of Ji Eun-ho still retains a lot of his innocence when he was 17 years old, but in Lee Tae-kun's opinion, this is unlikely to be interpreted by Han Yu.
The reason why a man is most attractive is when he is thirty or forty years old is precisely because that is the time when they move from their once reckless youth to real maturity.
Han Yu himself is less than thirty years old, how can he show the kind of maturity and vicissitudes that have been precipitated over time?
This notion is ingrained in Lee Tae-kun's mind.
However, what he saw today greatly changed his previous thoughts.
Han Woo's performance is not inferior to Kim Min-ho, who has more acting experience, and the aura that can catch the audience's attention more in front of the camera compared to others is fully displayed in him from the beginning of shooting.
This was expected in advance, and if he couldn't even do this, Li Taekun felt that he should really think about changing the actor.
But here's the problem...... Han Yu's performance today is far more than completely suppressing Kim Min-ho's light.
