Chapter 185 – God of Actors

Filming finally started.
It was probably the most nervous time for people involved in filming. Why? Usually, the middle and highlights of a movie are also very important now.
More important than that was the ‘beginning’ part.

It is because it is difficult to change the perception of people who have already been stuck, even if the first half is eaten like shit, no matter how well the second half is made as the world’s top 3 masterpieces.

That’s why it’s not necessarily a movie, but it gives so much strength in the beginning of most works.
Why did the main character use a special move in the beginning?
But why can’t I use a special move on the enemies behind me?

…… It was not for nothing that carcinogenic developments such as
After showing such a wonderful image in the beginning, it instills anticipation that the main character will eventually show something in the second half.
It is a psychology that viewers have no choice but to watch until the end.

“Come on, let’s all relax and eat comfortably,” I can’t say. Everyone here knows as they are experts. How important the first half is, let alone! How important is the beginning of a live-action film?”

That’s right.
In fact, the CG tips, the editing team, and even a single line of dialogue require a great deal of attention in the early stages.
Eat here?
Unless you are an idiot, there is no way you don’t know the words that will come out in a movie theater.

‘That’s right.’
‘The level of a live-action film is exactly this level.’
‘It’s just a present for the fans.’

In fact, the people who watch the live-action film are die-hard fans of the original work, or they don’t have anything to see in a real movie theater.
Most of the couples were fooled by the plausible posters and cursed at them.

And now, when a real masterpiece is created, many people see it through word of mouth.
I tend to start running backwards late.

However, it was not necessary to ride such a thrilling roller coaster route.
That’s right…… Even if you don’t cheat, you can do it well.

“Whoa!”

To do so, Kobayashi personally contacted an unknown Korean actor, spending a large amount of money.
In other words, I’m not the lead in this movie for nothing.
The percentage of responsibility occupied is different.

There are so many attractive characters in Yokai’s Blade, but the live-action film I filmed this time was mostly developed by myself.

“As everyone knows about the beginning of the story, the main character, Jiro, alone receives orders, smells a monster while moving, and runs to save a weak girl in danger. Here, in order to show that the main character has grown unlike in the past, he cuts the monster in two at once with a splendid technique.”

The main character who uses a special technique to cut down a monster had to be able to move incomparably with ordinary people.
However, this was the case with most live-action films.

As I said before, the main characters of the live-action films, which cost a lot of money, were absolutely not the specs of ordinary people.
Because it is the content of a world where humans can run 100 meters in 4 seconds and easily jump 10 meters in place.
But what is the reason why live action is ruined?
An otaku like me still wants something like that to some extent, but in reality, it was all about matching the actors’ mediocre run and running with camera and editing in a plausible way somehow.

“Whoa…….”

The live-action film I wanted wasn’t like that.
I wanted an action that made me admire while watching it while being cool. It’s just that I don’t want to see cosplay action.

“As you may know, the main character always carries a huge load on his back. Can you do it, Donghyun?”
“Yes, no problem.”
“With makeup on, it’s to the point where I don’t feel a sense of incongruity with the real protagonist.”
“Haha… I’ll do my best.”

Makeup close to special makeup.
Furthermore, my face completely changed by the Elixir of the Incubus is no wonder that people often call me a man out of a comic book.
Even that was digested naturally.

To be honest, no matter how synchronized a live-action film is, it’s hard to follow the characters in the cartoon perfectly.
However, I do it.
Like a person who jumped out of a real cartoon.

“I will tie the wire.”
“Ah, that’s fine.”
“No. In case of an accident, you must wear safety equipment, including wires. If an accident occurs during filming, it will be a big blow to the movie, but above all, the actor’s own life could be in trouble.”

Mmm, no matter how many times I refuse.
I had no choice but to tie a wire to my back at the attitude of the security guards, who said the same thing several times and pushed me because they were stubborn.

Uncomfortable…….
However, this is also unavoidable. As the security guards said, the live-action filming is like a special film, so there are various over-actions.
Because there are still risks.
You have to do it even in this state to be a pro.

“Okay then, let’s start filming.”

Kobayashi looked at me with infinite anticipation. The action is important, but the acting in the beginning was also important, so it was more trembling eyes.
Because the charm he saw in me was a face that matched so well with a cartoon, and ridiculous physical abilities.
To be honest, it’s a bit of a long-winded situation to know how good your acting skills are.
But, you don’t have to worry about that, Kobayashi.

“Widely!”

In an extremely tense situation, the plate sags, and my first shoot finally begins. If it was me before I had skills, I would have made a big mistake from the start.
It’s different now.

[Your acting level is 4.]

Skill level 4 is definitely an expert, because it shows the power beyond that.
In an instant, I started to become ‘Jiro’ itself, the character I was supposed to play.

* * *

Kurishita managed to hold back a laugh that was about to burst out as he watched the film shoot go smoothly.
I was so happy to think that that damn Korean would soon be rolling on the ground and being taken to the hospital.

‘If the yakuza can’t do it, I’ll do it.’

Originally, before filming began, in order not to interfere with the film as much as possible.
I was thinking of taking care of Kim Dong-hyun quietly outside.
Even if it means giving the yakuza in the underworld a huge amount of money.

But somehow, the yakuza seemed to be tempted by the amount at first. Upon hearing the other person’s name, they quickly became terrified and expressed their intention to refuse all of them.

‘Sick bastards. Bad brains, dirty bastards, can’t even do that? This is why the yakuza are all going to ruin these days.’

Kurishita, who never admits that the times have changed, saw the wire hanging from Kim Dong-hyun’s back her, and she clapped, thinking it was right. The moment that idiot believed that and jumped down with all his might even from a high place, the wires he had set up in advance would break, and it was certain that he would break one place or get seriously injured.

‘I definitely did my best to save this movie. Bad rumors spread about this incident, and it’s all your fault that you hit the candle before it even started. Kobayashi.’

Kurishita never thought it was her fault. So, I watched the accident that happened soon with more anticipation.
By the way…….

“Are you saying there are ghosts in this town? It doesn’t look like that from the outside.”
“…….”

For an instant, Kurishita was unconsciously stunned.
She was told that she had already beaten Okui, who was originally supposed to play the lead role, in a showdown of her acting skills of her, but to be honest, this was beyond her imagination of her.

I did it because I am Kurishita, who knows movies well.
She is the head of the investment team, so she works at a company called SBC, so there is no way she doesn’t know about movies.
He hates to admit it, but it was real.

“Ah, it’s okay. If any monsters appear, I will definitely defeat them all.”

Before the speech.
It was a scene of walking in the middle of a quiet countryside, and that guy was already drawing out a scene from a cartoon.

Facial expression, voice, tone.
Most of all, a bit of a frustrating yet ridiculously ‘goodness’ unique to the protagonist of the monster’s blade was coming out of him.
This is not something that can be shown only through acting skills.
His innate personality itself is closer to that.

‘I think I know a little bit why Okui said that.’

I can understand why, when he forced himself to play the lead role again, Okui said with a bitter expression that he wished Kim Dong-hyun would film the movie.

Exactly…… Really, sure…….
If that guy shoots this movie, it will be a pretty decent movie. Even if the other characters break the immersion a little, at least you won’t hear the mess.
It was that kind of acting.

However…….

‘…… Do you think you can come this far and quit?’

Since he had already committed it, Kurishita had no choice but to watch. Now, with the sound of a woman’s scream, ‘Jiro’ runs towards her full power her.
In that scene, Jiro climbs the trees using his tremendous speed and jumping power, and finally descends from a height of over 10 meters in front of the youkai. There, the wire that guarantees his safety he will break.

“Quaaaaa!”

It was then.
The actress who played the role of the girl screamed as hard as she could, and as everyone expected, Jiro ran…….

“Uh?”

In an instant, not only Kurishita, but everyone else’s voice came out. Because, even if it is a filming equipment, the weight of the box currently slung on Donghyun Kim’s back is approximately 3 kg.

You can say what’s wrong with only 3 kg.
Carrying a huge bag before 3kg in itself hinders people’s movement, and the person who even hangs a wire on top of it.

“Scream of a girl! And the smell of youkai!”

Pod, papa papa pat…… !
How can you move like that? It was such an enormous movement that even a slight afterimage remained. Every time you hit the ground, the dust splatters strongly, and you can already guess that someone inserted CG into it.
Furthermore.

“Bang!”

A scene where he kicks off the ground and jumps up a tree.
The ground really vibrates.
Furthermore, he didn’t even climb a tree, he climbed a tree that was over 10 meters tall with just one stomp?

‘Is that guy really human?’

Kurishita looked at Kim Dong-hyun in awe while thinking of the characters in the manga without even realizing it.
Even the wires were already broken.
From the moment he started running, he couldn’t overcome his speed.

“…… Wire, it’s not hanging.”

However, Kim Dong-hyun, who goes to and from the trees randomly and runs between the cameras at an incredible speed, moves forward without hesitation, as if he is attaching a device that is safer than anyone else. Even so, he shows the perfect movement and expression so that he can be captured in the cameras placed here and there.

What is that child? Are you a new actor?

“Haaaaa!”

There was no sense of incongruity in jumping from that high tree and swinging the sword at the same time. Did that kid ever wield a sword in real life?

“Cheer, cuter…… !”

Watching Kobayashi fumble her cut several times in embarrassment, Kurishita quietly left the place.
Somehow, it seemed to be her own defeat her.
