Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 13 Acting

With the script reading session over, we immediately joined the crew to shoot posters and prepare for filming.

The Korean film and television industry usually likes to shoot according to the general plot development, rather than shooting all the scenes in one place directly like in China. This is actually related to the model of shooting and broadcasting at the same time.

However, this is also good for the actors, as they can show their acting skills as the plot develops.

Otherwise, it is very likely that they are in love in one scene and become enemies and curse at each other in the next scene, which is quite a challenge for the actors.

Act one.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk wore a tailor-made school uniform and his hair was trimmed according to the character setting. He sat under the character sculpture on campus with his hair styled to be neither too long nor too short.

He slowly raised his head with headphones on and looked at Kim Hye-yoon who was walking towards him, frowning slightly, his tone filled with dissatisfaction and a little doubt.

"Why don't you answer the phone?"

Kim Hye-yoon, who was standing next to him, looked at him, ruffled her hair with a slightly narcissistic expression, and then strode away without looking back.

"cut!"

"do it again!"

The scene and lines were the same, but the camera angle was changed and the scene was repeated.

"continue."

Again.

"Yes, one more."

Here it comes again.

Real filming is so boring. A scene has to be performed over and over again because multiple angles are needed for post-production editing. It is not enough to just shoot from one angle.

"Next scene."

Kim Sang-seop, who was sitting in front of the monitor, nodded, and was very satisfied to see that Kwon Hyun-hyuk did not make any mistakes in his first acting role.

Actors and idols are different. One has to ignore the camera all the time, while the other has to look for the camera all the time.

It can be seen that Quan Xuanhe changes his habits very quickly.

The next scene was shot by splicing together a luxuriously decorated hotel and a school exterior. It was filmed with the trio in the play making a dazzling appearance in front of a crowd of passersby, with the passersby on both sides cheering wildly.

"cut!"

The script supervisor called a halt to the filming, and the actors, who were surrounded by cameras and other film and television equipment, relaxed and then changed the angle and did it again.

Then, the second female lead bumped into the third male lead in this situation, and the two fell to the ground and had an accident. At this moment, Quan Xuanhe mainly served as a background board, expressing the emotions that the characters should reflect when seeing this scene.

The camera took a close-up shot in front of Quan Xuanhe.

His facial features were shown in front of the camera, and the people watching the surveillance camera couldn't help but nod or praise.

They are all veterans in the entertainment industry who have been in the industry for many years. They have seen all kinds of handsome guys, but there are always more outstanding handsome guys who come out to refresh people's impression.

Just like Cha Eun-woo who became famous in the past two years, he established a firm foothold in the entertainment industry with just his face without any effort and received countless acting and advertising invitations.

This is not a deliberate exaggeration, but it is foreseeable that after the show is broadcast, Quan Xuanhe's role will greatly threaten the position of the male lead.

The character is more likable and the appearance is particularly outstanding, and the combined effect is really strong.

The birth of the next big star in the entertainment industry is already evident.

Some crew members couldn't wait and picked up their phones to take pictures, especially some newcomers who had just entered the circle, ready to take them back and become topics of conversation among their friends.

In South Korea, the pursuit of appearance is a social trend, especially in the entertainment industry, so plastic surgery is considered normal.

Even among actors who make a living by their acting skills, plastic surgery is quite prevalent.

For idols, it’s okay if they can’t make some big or micro expressions, but it’s different for actors. The naturalness of their face is very important to the long-term development of their future career.

Minor repairs are acceptable, but if you have major surgery, the aftereffects will appear and the face will break down when you make a big expression. It is difficult to show the so-called acting skills on a broken face.

Therefore, it is difficult to achieve significant results in awards. This is the price of beauty.

The male lead of the same group, Kim Ro-woon, is an idol who has undergone a lot of plastic surgery. But then again, if you don't have good conditions and can't get ahead without plastic surgery, then you have no choice but to go through plastic surgery.

"Director, do I need to do it again?"

Quan Xuanhe was very diligent. After he had no more scenes to shoot, he approached the director and asked.

"No, this face is already performing very well."

Director Kim Sang-seop nodded and praised him.

"Okay, just be strict with me. I have no problem with that."

Quan Xuanhe had a strong desire to learn. After asking, he did not leave, but watched and learned quietly. Seeing the director talking for a long time, he turned on the water and handed it to him with great attentiveness.

This is not the end yet. The screenwriter was seen arriving at the scene, and he took the initiative to approach and greet people, saying nice things and saying them without blushing or getting nervous.

The two female screenwriters were in a good mood and laughing as they chatted.

Why did Park Jung-jung say that he deserves this job? First, he does have a talent for acting and appearance, and second, he is suitable for mixing with people from all walks of life. He can speak the right words to people from all walks of life and is good at dealing with people and talking.

Many actors and idols are polite and formal, neither lively nor wooden. There's nothing wrong with that, but the key is that if everyone is like that, it becomes very bland.

Resources in the entertainment industry sometimes rely not only on the company, but also on one's own personal connections. After all, everyone likes to work with people they admire.

After this came to an end, Quan Xuanhe was not idle either. He bought some things and sent them to the people behind the scenes one by one.

Especially some behind-the-scenes staff whose positions are not obvious but actually affect the actors' performance on camera, such as photography, lighting, post-production editing, etc.

How can official business be handled in a fair and impartial manner and be made more beautiful by leaving in some favors?

When he was free, he didn't go back to rest, but stayed on site to observe and learn.

His behavior will naturally attract the attention of others.

"Don't you have an assistant? Aren't you busy on your own?"

Lee Na-eun had no scenes today, and seeing him busying around on the set, she came over and asked.

"I don't need an assistant for now. I can handle it on my own."

"Hey, why are you acting so positive?"

Kwon Hyun Hyuk turned his head to look at Lee Na Eun, who looked curious and said such words without thinking, and made up an excuse.

"I was new."

"Okay, I just saw you chatting with the screenwriter and it was fun. What were you talking about?"

Lee Na Eun asked tentatively.

"Nothing, I'm just a newbie asking some questions. Why didn't you come over and join us just now?"

Quan Xuanhe felt that her question was a bit strange, but he just regarded it as a difference in personality.

"Don't dare."

Lee Na Eun smiled a little awkwardly.

Quan Xuanhe gave her an encouraging smile, "You are the second female lead, so it won't be troublesome to communicate more with the director and screenwriter."

"Then can you take me with you when you chat with the director and screenwriter?"

Lee Na Eun asked proactively.

"If the timing is right."

Quan Xuanhe felt that this request was a bit strange.

Lee Na Eun thanked him with a smile on her face.

He didn't have any thoughts about the girl in front of him, and didn't feel that there was anything attractive about her, and he could feel that her conversation was not very sincere.
