Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 52: Turn on.

"Fight for My Way" is finally about to start filming.

There were three rounds of script reading sessions. Mingyan also provided screenwriter Lin Shangchun with a lot of his own insights about the characters, and the communication between them was quite smooth.

He is preparing very seriously for his first drama as the male lead, and has not relaxed at all because of his past experience.

Director Kim Na-jeong had previously said that filming would start at the end of the year, but the notice was sent as soon as December arrived.

It fits just right.

As for Kim Ji-won...

Mingyan met her twice more, but each time the sister was lukewarm, as if they had never had that experience.

He tried to call privately, and that was when he realized he had been blocked.

Krystal Jung: How can it be considered a breakup if I don’t block you?
Tsk, things are starting to get interesting.

Mingyan couldn't figure out what Kim Ji-won was thinking, but if everyone could live in peace like this, it would be a good result.

He has no plans to rekindle the old flame, and Kim Ji-won is not like some of his ex-girlfriends who can still have some friendly sex after breaking up.

"Director Nim, please take good care of our Xiaoyan."

Zheng Yuanlong was greeting the crew members. The actors are responsible for performing well, while the agents have the task of maintaining interpersonal relationships, from the director and writers to the staff who distribute lunch boxes.

You must not offend either big or small people, otherwise it will be easy for people to talk about you.

"I believe he will be fine." After three rounds of script readings, director Jin Najing is now confident about the selection of the male and female protagonists.

She couldn't wait to get down to work.

Because South Korea adopts the mode of filming and broadcasting at the same time, the shooting order is generally not disrupted. Usually, the shooting is carried out according to the content of the script, which facilitates post-production.

Mingyan’s first scene is about his middle school days.

"Brother Zaihong, please give me your guidance later."

The second male lead in the drama, Ahn Jae-hong, was born in 1986 and is now 30 years old. It is indeed a bit difficult for him to play a high school student.

However, when I think about the fact that Yoo Jun-yeol was also 1988 years old when he filmed "Reply ", it seems completely understandable.

If that doesn't work, you can always use makeup. She explicitly said that she used makeup to make herself look older when filming "Descendants of the Sun". Kim Eun-sook put a lot of thought into changing Seo Dayong's age to his late twenties.

"Xiaoyan, you are too polite." The chubby Ahn Jae-hong smiled very kindly. The two knew each other during the script reading session.

Although the relationship at this time is not very familiar, at least there will be no problem with the working atmosphere.

"Okay, first scene, get ready."

With director Kim Na-jeong's call, "Fight for My Way" officially began filming.

……

Kim Ji-won's first scene is in another room.

The male and female protagonists in the drama did not attend the same high school.

She has been strictly following the plan set by Krystal recently and has been speaking coldly to that guy. Gotta say, it feels really good.

The only problem is that Mingyan doesn't seem to have much enthusiasm, and the contact between the two people during this period has always remained within a reasonable work scope.

That guy had no intention of crossing the line.

Is this the wrong direction?

"Jiyuan XI, please get ready."

The scene here is managed by Deputy Director Jin Donghui.

"Okay." Kim Ji-won temporarily put aside those messy thoughts and concentrated on preparing for filming.

Her first role as the female lead cannot be treated casually.

...In the first episode, there is a content about the male protagonist participating in a Taekwondo competition.

Mingyan changed into a Taoist uniform after finishing filming the scenes in the classroom. The props prepared by the crew were a bit too big and not as comfortable as the clothes in the dojo.

He stretched his body before filming and recalled the movements taught by Liu Zhimin in his mind.

"Xiaoyan, have you ever practiced Taekwondo before?"

Jin Shengwu, who plays the male protagonist's coach in the play, saw Mingyan's actions and asked curiously.

How can I describe this guy's appearance... Maybe it would be more appropriate to say that he looks like Korean Louis Koo, and a bit like Jam Hsiao. In short, he looks a bit like a crowd of people.

"Director Nim said we needed to practice, so I practiced for a few days at the last minute." Ming Yan didn't even dare to say that his coach was actually a sixteen-year-old girl.

Liu Zhimin is a black belt after all.

Jin Shengwu gave a thumbs up.

He inquired about Ming Yan's background. This young man has had a very smooth journey since his debut. He is a student of the famous screenwriter Kim Eun-sook. It can be said that he has achieved success at a young age, but he has a very good reputation in the circle.

The entertainment industry is full of drama. Many famous artists have two different faces on and off the stage. Only inside information can give us a glimpse of their true character.

Fortunately, Ming Yan is not the kind of male lead who is difficult to work with.

Kim Ji-won will also be present in this scene.

She was putting on makeup and secretly watching Ming Yan warming up out of the corner of her eye. When did this guy learn Taekwondo?

"Okay, actors, get ready."

Director Jin Najing directed the filming in an orderly manner.

Mingyan went on stage and nodded to the director.

"OK, start." With Jin Najing's order, the scene immediately got into shape.

Kim Ji-won and other actors sat in their assigned seats, staring intently at the "game" below.

In this scene, all the heroine needs to do is cheer Mingyan on, but only as a good friend.

Jin Shengwu was shouting frantically from the audience: "Dong Wan, use your legs, use your legs!"

Ming Yan on the stage was dodging in a hesitant manner at first, which made Kim Ji Won a little nervous. Injuries during filming are not uncommon, and no one can guarantee 100% safety.

Jin Najing nodded secretly. Jin Zhiyuan was worthy of being the heroine she chose. Her micro-expressions were very vivid.

There is also Ming Yan, whose Taekwondo moves are also very good, and the effects he performs show that he has practiced well.

Professional, so professional.

"Use your feet, Gao Dongwan, come on."

Kim Ji-won stood up suddenly and shouted loudly.

Mingyan was thinking about the moves he had practiced recently with Liu Zhimin. After hearing Jin Zhiyuan's call, he decisively turned around and kicked, ending the shot neatly.

Song Yiyun looked at Kim Ji-won. She always felt that her performance just now did not seem like acting. No wonder she could be the heroine.

You still have to learn it yourself.

"Cut, very good." Jin Najing was very satisfied with the shooting results.

Mingyan and Kim Ji-won both added a lot of their own understanding in shaping the characters, which is the basic quality of an excellent actor.

Good, it couldn't be better.

Mingyan seized an opportunity and quietly came to Jin Zhiyuan's side: "Zhiyuan Nuna..."

"Why? I told you to keep your distance."

"I just want to remind you that the wig is crooked and this bowl cut doesn't suit you."
