224. Supporting role
It took Lee Jun Hyuk to make a small name in Chungmuro, although this reputation is actually nothing in the actor's circle, but for Lee Jun Hyuk, his reputation can help him get the role all the time. That's enough.
After more than a month of training, Lee Jun-hyuk has also slowly begun to transform into a qualified actor from a film and television newcomer with no theory and no practical foundation, and now he can easily interpret a variety of roles.
Needless to say, soldiers and cooks, because that's a skill he would have had, in addition, he has also played many different roles such as doctors, teachers, hooligans, priests, thugs, boxers, fools, etc., although these roles are basically flashing on the big screen, and even some of them may not be released after filming, but for Lee Jun-hyuk, as long as he experiences the feeling of filming and makes himself grow, it is enough.
In each crew, Lee Jun-hyuk didn't stay very long, and at the beginning, he played an average role in a group for about three days. These three days, it doesn't mean that he needs to shoot three days of scenes, but as a supporting role in the supporting role, he will not need him to go up and follow the supporting role until the crew's scenes are filmed there.
Generally, he waits for about 10 hours a day and can then participate in one to two hour shoots. Although it would be very tiring and time-consuming to spend every day waiting, it was a good opportunity for Lee Jun-hyuk to learn.
On set, if Lee Jun-hyuk comes across something that he feels he can learn, then he will immediately get into a learning mode. If you get acquainted with other people. Then take a chance to ask. If he learns some acting skills or advantages from those leading actors, then he uses notes to record them as usual, and then slowly ponders them himself when no one is around.
As a trick, Lee Jun-hyuk doesn't have much communication with those actors who are the leading actors, after all, the identity is there, and it's normal for people to ignore you. Also, in the process of filming. We don't have a lot of time to chat and talk together. Don't look at many actors who say that a lot of time is spent waiting for scenes and the like when filming.
In fact, for actors, waiting for the scene does not mean that they can leisurely stand aside and wait for others to finish filming and then come to their own role.
On set, every actor is under a lot of pressure, and these pressures often put the actors in a tense state. This pressure comes from all sides, both external and internal. The most intuitive performance is the NG number of an actor when filming.
When the film was promoted, there were always actors who smiled and said, ah. Once, NG a dozen times or something. But actually, don't say it a dozen times. It's NG 7 times and 8 times. If there are no special circumstances, the director will not accept it, because when shooting a movie, the film used is very expensive, during the shooting, if the actor's performance has not been in place, then the director will stop, and then adjust it and continue, if it encounters a short-tempered one, then the actor will be said or even scolded, in short, it is impossible for a director to shoot there repeatedly after NG so many times.
In addition, before the official shooting, there is also the part of the audition, that is, without film recording, try to act again, generally speaking, after the successful trial, the professional actors are not very good at NG, because they are familiar with the rhythm of this scene.
And in the same way, for actors, NG number is also something they care about very much, although it is a bit one-sided to say this, but NG number is the most intuitive thing to show their actor quality, just like NBA players care about data. If an actor has very few NGs when filming a play, it means that he can understand the director's intentions very well, and can perform the things that the director needs well, and such actors will become more and more popular.
Therefore, in such a situation, whether it is the leading actor or the supporting role, when they are resting and waiting for the scene, they are generally preparing for the next scene, and they don't have much experience to chat with other people and make trouble, even if there is, it is only the subdivision of this day, or the actor's role on this day is relatively small.
Of course, the kind of old drama bones that have been acting for many, many years are not included in this range, because these people, their plays are all natural, it can be said that they are handy, and many times even the lines will be played on the spot, but the effect will make the director unable to say anything, of course, this only happens to a few people. There are not many such people in the whole world.
And Lee Jun-hyuk will not have such a thing as having no time to study because of the preparation for the scene. This can be regarded as a trick benefit, because his roles are too few, and the director's requirements for such a role will not be particularly high, so even if Lee Jun-hyuk prepares very carefully every time, it won't take long.
As time went by, Lee Jun-hyuk began to become somewhat famous in the small circle of Chungmuro, and the roles and roles he received began to slowly increase.
In fact, in the Korean film industry, there is a very interesting phenomenon, that is, the main actor, or the main actor is very easy to find, but it is difficult to find a small role like Lee Jun-hyuk participated, or a small role that is not much better than the dragon suit.
This is also due to the current situation of the Korean entertainment industry, in South Korea, whether it is a big-name artist or a small artist, they will join a variety of brokerage companies of different sizes, and these brokerage companies, in order to maximize their interests, generally arrange small actors to participate in some commercial activities, or to take on some TV series performances, and for movies, they are not enthusiastic, as for the reason, it is very simple, because these companies are very clear that they can only play some roles The acting skills of these actors, It doesn't work in the film industry. Therefore, in their opinion, even if they participate in movie performances, there is no future, it is better to mix in the TV circle, shoot if there is a scene, and record some entertainment programs or something when there is no drama, only in this way will the company's interests be maximized, and for these low-level artists, it is also a kind of life guarantee.
And when these actors began to switch to TV series, there were very few people in the film industry who could participate in these performances like dragon sets. After all, everyone will look to Lu, and with a little strength, they can play some good roles, who is willing to play a trick. What's more, in the case of South Korea's economic recession, the little money from the role is not enough to support oneself, even a full meal.
Therefore, in Chungmuro, some tricks, or small roles with few scenes, slowly become cold, and many times they rely on the director's personal relationship to find some people to make cameos, or the investor of this movie is a certain brokerage company, and then let the company designate actors to star.
The appearance of Lee Jun-hyuk has alleviated this kind of thing all of a sudden, although he is only one person, but he can play many different types of roles, and his acting skills are not bad at all, and he often surprises the director. This is much better than those young actors sent by the company who have no acting skills. This is also the fundamental reason why Lee Jun Hyuk was able to become a little famous in Chungmuro in a short period of time.
In addition, Lee Jun-hyuk is usually enthusiastic and often helps the crew with lighting and scenery, and over time, he has become a real hot commodity.
From the scene that could only be filmed for three days at the beginning, to now being able to play against the protagonist, it took Lee Jun-hyuk three months to achieve this.
In other words, from a dragon set to a supporting role, this change of identity took Lee Jun Hyuk nearly 100 days.
This supporting role is not the supporting role that is much better than the dragon set as mentioned at the beginning, but the kind of character that is dignified and has a close relationship with the plot of the movie. In layman's terms, it is the kind that has a name and a surname on the screen, and there are many lines. (To be continued......)
