Life, Once Again!

A road surrounded by mountains. The bus was forcefully cutting through the greenery of the center of the mountain. The floor opens a little window. A clear forest breeze crashes through the breach. It's a cool breeze with a smile on its face.

‘I didn't expect to be in this mountain. ’

When I was contacted by Suyeon to come to the filming site in Namyangju, I remembered the plains a little outside the city centre. I imagined a giant container placed on such a land that was not uncommon, but not so much, but in reality it was something completely different.

When we landed at Ungil Mountain Station, the first thing we saw was the North Korean River on the right. The intense sunlight hits the river surface and breaks into countless grains. It looks like golden powder floating on the river. In front of it is a rice field, a vinylhouse, and a factory that emits white smoke. You can only see the mall around the subway and you can only see it from a distance. The floor anticipated that there would be a shooting site nearby, but I asked the passerby, and he told me I had to go in here for a long time.

I got on a shuttle bus to Namyangju shooting site, which was announced by a passerby. Only after about five couples boarded the bus did the bus start slowly. A relaxed bus runs along the North Korean River to the right, turning toward the mountains through several tunnels. The concrete building was out of sight and all I could see was trees.

The thinking floor turns its head forward. I see buildings. The bus starts to slow down, then pulls over. The floor closes the window, feeling sorry for the frequent winds. I informed them that the article had arrived at the ticket office.

I got off the bus and walked a little bit, and I saw the shooting range. Namyangju Comprehensive Photography Station. A giant slate sculpture at the entrance is creating a long shadow. Kids sit in the shadows. Maybe it's a group event.

The floor followed the couples on the bus to the ticket office. I was going to look around slowly because the appointment time was about two hours away.

“How many people are there? ”

“A high school student. ”

“1500 won.”

I paid for the tickets.

“Do you have a brochure or something? ”

“It's on the left. ”

A brochure was placed underneath the signboard to the left of the ticket office. I started walking with a book in my hand. There have been quite a few people since it became a tourist attraction. I watched the family holding their hands and walking on the floor for a while. The smile of a sunny child catches my attention. It was only after the family disappeared from sight that I could take a step. The first place I saw him was the theater. It is written in the brochure as a place to show movies to visitors for free.

As you move a little further along the slope, you see four massive buildings lined up. This is the meeting place. The brochure is described as a comprehensive shooting area for films, dramas and broadcasts. Of course, it is a place that is not open to the public. They're shooting inside.

I took four studios in my sights as I moved. I can see someone rushing into the building. You are holding a dry wire on one shoulder. I wonder what he's filming. It's probably the biggest film studio in the world.

“Two o'clock.”

It was 1: 00, but I just got a text from Su-yeon saying we should be there by 2: 00. Looks like the shoot was delayed. It was not great because it was experienced by everyday multireflections while performing assistive appearances.

I bought a cup of coffee from the break room and came out. I went to Panmun-do's set with bitter coffee in my mouth. Many people were reenacting a scene in the movie there. The floor was also lined up with a set of planchettes in a picture of the phone. The film was filmed a long time ago, but the sentiment of the film remains here to impress people. The greatness of art.

The next place I found was the video support. The exhibition hall, costumes, and art room had all the equipment or props needed to make the film.

There, I met the happy face of the floor. A black and white poster appeared in front of the public at a Korean cinematic historical theater in line. I could see how much he had contributed to Korean films, just by looking at the posters hanging.

“You're a handsome man.”

I folded my arms and looked at the posters of films by time. As the sun changed, the face of the gateway continued to be found in the poster. There was an actor's introduction at the edge of the historical theater, and there was also a face of the public. Along with the introduction that she was the best actor of her time, she also wrote a anecdote about the heroes who had sent love calls to the public to make a film. At the end of the year, he retired from the film industry and is trying to revive the theater. You realize how great the actor was. I was on the same set as that actor for a while. That's something to be proud of.

After going around the inside and looking around the shooting site, the clock was going toward 2 o'clock one day. Time to get to the studio. I swung my brochure as a fan and headed to the second studio. I went inside looking at the banned sign outside the photographer. Through the glass door, I stood on a clear marble porch. There is an open entrance on the right and people are rushing inward with materials.

Some people noticed that one high school student was worried about snooping, but no one came to talk to him.

Where should I go? I took out my phone and called Su-yeon.

- Uh, hi.

“Yes, where do I go when I get here? It's the porch.”

- So you see the way in on the right?

“Yes.”

- Just get in there. You'll see the stash room just around the corner.

I hung up and moved. You enter through a thick door, like a soundproof wall. The first thing that caught my eye were the ropes dangling from the ceiling. When you look closely, it's all light. You see a wooden wall underneath. Outside, it's ugly, but inside, it can be a luxurious apartment.

“Line it up! Reinforce the floor of this set! ”

The set, which remained 300 square feet, was crowded with supplies and people. The floor did not enter the set line, but walked around the corner following Suyeon's words. There are several visits to the right of the long corridor, with signs above them. Staff room, dressing room, Yeon Jo's dressing room. At the end of the hall is Jo's powder room. The floor knocks on the staffroom door and goes inside.

“There you are.”

Suyeon is inside. I hold a cup of coffee in my hand and talk to people. And a happy face. Director Jangsoo Kim.

“Hello."

“Oh, yeah. Are you here?”

The longevity stood up and said, "That's the guy he was talking about. I heard it say.” What did he say? Seeing that the faces of the gathered people are not bad, there doesn't seem to be any problem.

“I had no idea they were the same company. ”

“He's my favorite. Good behavior, good manners, good acting. ”

Suyeon said, shoulder to shoulder. The floor raises its right hand and pulls out the hand wrapped around its neck. Suyeon smiles and tells the staff.

“But he's so shy. Look at this.You have no idea how hard it has been to get along. ”

A hand that wraps around your neck again. The staff sitting on Suyeon's furry behavior smiles. I tried to get out and quit. Now let's play with a fox with nine tails.

“Chungho said. I'm in a movie with you. ”

Longevity asked while throwing the bottle drink. The floor said, grabbing the bottle.

“Yes, I had the opportunity to join them. ”

“You said action? I can see that you're good at digestion.Try harder. I'm a friend who pushes people when Chongho pushes them. ”

“I'll try my best. ”

“It just snapped. See, I told you. I can see the bud. Oh, say hello to him. From here on out, the car director. And Director Choi. You guys are great in the industry, so if you stamp your face, something good will happen later. ”

From the late forties to the mid-fifties. They were all field supervisors, wanting to feel a connection. I simply exchanged greetings. People who might encounter you somewhere if you keep doing this. If you stamp your face as the longevity says, you might benefit.

“Then we should leave now. ”

The three directors said they were filming in the studio next door. I came to play for a little while during lunch. Suyeon went after them after the supervisors left. It is natural to talk and smile. You look pretty close.

“Have you ever been here? ”

“No, it's my first time. ”

“What do you think? Seeing the set. ”

“I was more surprised than I ever imagined. I was reminded of these dry-cleaning containers, and they were kind of like theme parks. ”

“It's all business. It's a waste of money if you break it once. If you leave it in the sightseeing area, you'll get the price. Oh, that's your job today. ”

The Longevity Monk gave me a script.

“Are you good with a knife? ”

“Knife?”

“Haven't you seen this drama? ”

“Yes.”

“Oh, this is upsetting. I'm pulling out my inner screen and listening to some compliments. ”

“I'm sorry."

“Well, there's nothing to be sorry about. But don't you monitor the drama of people like you in your company? ”

“He'll take care of himself. ”

“It's cool to talk. Anyway, this drama is a culinary drama. Well, as romantic as the Korean drama is, early evolution focused on the cooking contest. It'll be convenient to think of it as a story that takes place inside a top notch restaurant. ”

“So I cut my knife……. ”

“I don't want you to look cool like a top chef. It's just not awkward when you're on camera. Are you gonna be okay? ”

“Yes, I'm making a side dish at home, so you'll be fine with a knife. I'm not very good at it. ”

“There you go. Look at that. It's a group of young cooks competing to attract talent. If you go inside the set, you'll see, but the table will be set in a row. All you have to do is cut the pumpkin hard and say a few lines. You see the dropout one? ”

The floor finds the role name in the script and nods. One of the young aspiring chefs in the arena. A bridesmaid who will make the protagonist shine.

“PD will rehearse when you eat. Greetings then, and if you leave the room and walk to the end of the hall, there is an assistants waiting room. Don't even look in the other room. I stumbled around the makeup room of Jo for no reason, and then I ate like a pig. There are a lot of strong actors, so stay in front of them and walk. Okay?"

“I'll do that. ”

“What's going on after the shoot today? ”

“Nothing.”

“Then let's just eat. I'm not the one who told you to buy me food. ”

I remembered what the longest man said at the last shoot of the show. You said you'd buy me a meal. He must have remembered. The floor nods, smiling. It's an opportunity to thicken the lines, but I can't miss it.

“I'll be going.”

“Yeah, I'll see you later. ”

I said hello and left the room. I looked at the entrance to the rear set and walked towards the end of the hall. On the right, there was a dressing room with constant spacing, and the door had the phrase "Actor's Waiting Room." Is there a strong actor in this? I looked at the name. I was an unknown actor.

The floor stood in front of the "cast waiting room" at the end of the hall. I opened a slightly open door and went inside. Inside, there were a lot of men and women who looked like they were in their early 20s. His gaze was concentrated, but soon he scattered. Everyone is reading a script or a small dialogue. Not many people pay attention to the people next to them.

Since there were more than ten people in the narrow space, some were leaning against the wall. The floor also sits next to the cabinet. I opened the script and read it from start to finish. Given the situation, I think I will meet you in the arena. I don't think there's a line. It will be captured once or twice on the same screen.

I closed the script early because I don't think there's any smoke digging deep. Other people are getting bored with the atmosphere for a long time and are starting to take their eyes off the script and open their mouths. It was a moment when the tension that was spreading gently disappeared. Comfortable smiles surround each other and tell each other stories.

At that moment, the floor stares at the man who approached it. A man with a long, relaxed expression smiles awkwardly.

“Hey, haven't you seen the audition chapter before? ”

“Audition hall?”

“Uh. When the twilight strikes.... ”

The man said cautiously.

“Ah.”

I remember the floor.

“Is that number four? ”

“That's right! Twenty-seven, right? ”

“Yes, 27 times. ”

The floor nods.

It looks like we're going to have to remove the electric field.

It's freezing. Ugh.

If you catch a cold like this, I'll give you a nose...
