I Only Play Villains

A large group of women (3)

The experience of sitting in the judges’ seat alongside producers and writers is awkward.

Even in the last drama, I was in a position to be evaluated as a rookie, but in just a few months, I sat in a position to evaluate someone.

Jeong Seo-hoon was aware that it was not simply because of the good grades and acting in the last two works.

That Kim Sang-hee treats herself as an already completed actress.

Professor Sejong Lee is watching from behind as an investor.

Thanks to this fact, the rookie himself is now sitting in this seat.

Without either of those two things, he would never have been able to sit in this position in the conservative media scene.

As the PD and the writer told me, I would calmly capture my emotions, practice my acting, and act like a doll in front of the camera.

‘You know that the riper the rice, the more it bends down, right? The better you go, the more careful you have to be. This floor is not so smooth. They cringe in front of you, but when you turn around, they spit and curse at you for making a fortune, and that’s common.’

These were the words Jeong Su-ryun had been talking about in the van since this morning.

After repeating it for several days, it seems that it is not boring.

Manager Ha Tae-soo also emphasized that he would not be conceited while driving.

‘You can’t take this for granted just because you’re sitting in the judges’ seat this time. Now, producers, writers, investors, these three combinations are working together and you are being treated like this. There is no guarantee that you will be treated like this in your next project, so treat the audition takers with respect as if you had a good experience.’

‘Yes, Seo Hoon. Candidates should never feel arrogant. You know how old sergeants forcibly take new recruits and put them in their seats and joke around like that? You have to think and act like you’re in that situation.’

‘You know we haven’t found the person who spilled information to the paparazzi while talking suspiciously when we went home from the Illy Girl party, right? There’s a good chance that he’s hiding among the staff of the lower class now.’

‘Maybe not one or two. Training is right 100 times.’

Both of them must have said it out of old age, but from Jeong Seo-hun’s point of view, it was a meaningless and annoying echo.

I’m not acting for money or fame.

I started acting because I was intoxicated with the scenery and sensations of a special experience in front of the camera, and now I have become accustomed to that exhilarating experience.

It is to act as a reason to satisfy the need for self-actualization.

Maintaining humility for the sake of image management, getting drunk with popularity and becoming arrogant are all useless worldly affairs for him.

“Yes. Nice to see you. Just go in. Who’s next?”

“Finally, it’s the turn of our main character, Grand Prince Nari’s favorite and one pick, Serubia Lina.”

“Oh, you are an active high school girl. However, since he is not in the military, it is questionable whether he will be able to properly demonstrate his combat power.”

“The couple is one in heart, but since Seo Hoon is a military pilot, why don’t Rina also be considered a military high school girl?”

The PD and the writer giggled at each other and playfully teased Jeong Seo-hoon.

However, Jeong Seo-hoon did not change his expression and was only focusing on the candidate’s profile.

Kim Sang-hee grumbled as if it wasn’t funny.

“I like all of Seo Hoon, but it’s a pity that he’s always so serious.”

“Why, I like that it has weight and depth. Sometimes I forget that Seo Hoon is 21 years old. Just by looking at his attitude, he seems to be in his 40s.”

“But don’t you think it would be fun to play a green 21-year-old Daegun and then change into a Daegun in his late 30s with makeup?”

“Just imagining it makes my pupils tremble. You must be well-dressed.”

“That’s why you should never save money on the makeup team, producer.”

“Absolutely.”

Before long, the girl group Serubia Center, Lina, entered.

With a slender height of 168 cm, a slim waist that can be wrapped around one arm, and a beautiful leg that stretches down the pelvis, which shows off its presence on the left and right, it immediately catches the attention of the room.

The calmness that does not fit the age of 18 leaves a trace with every step.

A being standing somewhere between the girl and the woman calmly stands right in front of the judges.

Since he is an idol, Jang Seung-won, who said to watch with a light heart, changed his posture and sat down.

Kim Sang-hee also erased the smile.

She was flowing all over her body with the suction power that only natural actors can have.

The PD and the writer shared the same sentiment at this moment.

‘Why is that agency making actors and talents dance singers?’

“This is Han Seo-hee, the 62nd contestant. i look forward to.”

His clear voice mixed with a light husky sound was clean without the slightest flaw.

A tone that strangely resonates in the ear, and a clear pronunciation that clearly sticks in the nerves.

It was not a conscious vocalization and pronunciation, but a routine that was already hardened naturally in the lungs and vocal cords.

“Oh, good. Then… would you like to act out scene 32?”

“Yes.”

It’s a short one-word answer, but it’s a voice you want to hear over and over again.

Lina and Han Seo-hee, who were conscious of the camera for a moment, closed their eyes for a moment and then woke up.

The moment you lift your fingertips to start acting.

‘······!’

Jeong Seo-hoon felt it.

The scenery all around is gradually being erased without a sound.

I’m not even standing in front of a camera, so why? He didn’t even have time to harbor the doubt that he was deprived of all eyes on the subject in front of him.

Now, the subject of the trance-like camera is not herself.

It was Han Seo-hee, who was acting right in front of her eyes.

The audition hall had disappeared before anyone knew it, and he and she were back in the streets of the noisy past.

Daegun, who was sitting on a wooden chair, was looking up at his wife, who had come looking for him.

Wearing a light purple hanbok, black hair twisted up, and a hairpin, a childish face looks at herself as if crying.

A beautiful voice that goes against time resonates faintly as if it had just arrived from a faraway place.

‘Awesome. Yakju is too much these days. Please go in now.’

There is no trace of Han Seo-hee anywhere.

The woman who stood in front of me, looking, talking, and weeping, was a virtuous and young wise mother who only looked at the great army.

The moment Daegun unwittingly stretched out his hand, the scenery shattered like the surface of the water on which heavy teardrops had fallen.

In an instant, Jeong Seo-hoon returned to the original audition site, and Han Seo-hee, who had finished acting, was standing in front of him, slightly agitated with tension.

“Well······. I’m fine.”

Jang Seung-won’s calm and calm voice reminds us that he has returned to reality. I didn’t have to do that.

Looking at his eyes, Kim Sang-hee’s expression was also okay.

Those two were not as inspired by Han Seo-hee’s acting as they were.

The cinematographer and other staff members were equally calm.

‘I see.’

Jeong Seo-hun realized in an instant.

Just now, he alone saw and experienced a different scene from them.

What the camera showed him was not the same as Han Seo-hee’s current acting.

It was a glimpse of the improvement in her that he could bring out when standing in front of the camera and working together with him.

Wearing the clothes of the Daegun’s wife, covering her mind, and putting on her facial expressions and words and actions.

And when he breathes the past with a large army, he maximizes his acting ability.

It transcended time and space a while ago, and gave me a glimpse of a great possibility for a while.

‘Han Seo-hee.’

The king’s heart has already decided on a wife to spend his youth with.

***

The first day of long auditions is over.

The test takers all went back, and the staff went back and forth to clean up the leftovers in the hallway where people were missing.

The audition isn’t over today, it’s just the beginning.

Because it is not just one or two roles to be selected.

Jang Seung-won kept rubbing the back of his neck with his eyes closed, probably tired.

Kim Sang-hee also read the memo that she organized while doing the stretching eye massage.

“No one catches my eye.”

“I didn’t expect it to be a jackpot from day one, but there really aren’t that many talented people.”

“Rather than individual casting, I still want some audition stars to come out. That way, it becomes a hot topic and the ratings come out well.”

“How was Rina?”

“Ms. Han Seo-hee? Well, the acting wasn’t bad. The basics are pretty good, right?”

“I had a similar thought. To the extent that the agency still gave me acting lessons, to the extent that I did so.”

“How was Seo-hoon?”

Jang Seung-won turned the arrow of the question to Jeong Seo-hoon.

Jeong Seo-hoon replied calmly without delay as if he had waited.

“I liked the visuals.”

“They say it’s pretty. There is also an atmosphere. I also wondered why a girl like that was in a girl group.”

“Iknow, right. His voice and vocalization are calm, so he was just learning from heaven. I turned a child who should have been raised as an actor into a girl group.”

“But aren’t you appealing to us too strongly just because it’s your taste? Did you like the visual? It’s the first time I’ve seen Seo Hoon talk like that to an actress.”

“Since our Grand Prince Nari fell for his first love as soon as he saw it, as a PD, I have no choice but to seriously think about it. Partnership chemistry can’t be ignored either.”

Jang Seung-won said teasingly, but Jeong Seo-hun smiled leisurely without blushing once.

“It meant that the painting would look good if I put on a hanbok and put it next to the Daegun. There is no selfishness.”

“Because you speak so smartly, we actually lose heart. We know it’s not like that. you were kidding Anyway, you’re saying it’s okay to play the young wife of a young lord?”

“Yes.”

Jang Seung-won thought for a moment and then asked.

“Writer. How many episodes of The Little Wife?”

“Because Daegun was in his 20s, except for his childhood days… about 3 episodes at most? After that, there is nothing to come out other than flashbacks.”

“Not that many.”

The role of Daegun’s wife in her 30s preparing for treason was highly likely to be selected from among famous actresses.

Since it is a role that requires beauty, acting skills, and experience, the possibility of being selected at the audition was very low. It was also a role that producers and writers were very picky about.

“Because a fresh feeling is more important to a young wife. If you only support basic acting skills, Lina-san is like the best player.”

“It would be nice if what I showed you earlier wasn’t just barely squeezed out acting. I want it to be average. Otherwise, the risk is too great.”

“Um, let’s turn the camera separately, shall we? It seems that the agency is also anxious to have them appear in our drama, but if we ask them to do a separate camera test, they might say they like it.”

“Since they said it was a separate camera test, it reminded me of Illy Girl. At that time, everyone was turned upside down when they saw Seo Hoon’s acting.”

Kim Sang-hee laughed thinking about that time, and Jang Seung-won smiled as if he thought it would be fun.

“hit. I heard you were appearing in a CF together with Chae Ji-hyun?”

“Yes. Coffee CF. I saw the concept and it looked good.”

“I don’t know if I’m going to have a scandal with Chae Ji-hyun again this time while doing CF activities together.”

“After that, I am. I don’t care.”

“Who would look at Seo Hoon now and think you’re a rookie who debuted less than half a year ago? He’s a complete idiot.”

***

Lina and Han Seo-hee’s agency readily accepted the camera test proposal.

I thought that since the PD looked at it positively, he asked me to see him one more time separately. Anyone would accept that.

Jang Seung-won held a private audition with only Kim Sang-hee, Jung Seo-hoon, cinematographer, and a handful of staff members.

Han Seo-hee’s manager also watched the audition performance with bated breath in the corner.

And Seohee Han’s 20-minute performance was over.

“Thanks for your work.”

Jang Seung-won and Kim Sang-hee didn’t seem to like it very much.

Because the visuals were so good, it was regrettable that I couldn’t get over the basic hurdles.

‘Still, if you think about the visual chemistry, it’s not something you can’t do.’

Jang Seung-won thought that he should respect Jeong Seo-hun’s choice as much as possible, and was about to end the test.

I didn’t like Kim Sang-hee too much, but ‘this is enough.’ It was a look.

“then······.”

“Wait.”

Just then, Jeong Seo-hun woke up and everyone’s eyes were on him.

“PD-nim, can we try to match the sum together? I think you were too nervous because you were acting alone.”
