Chapter Eleven Auditions, Performances
When he entered the set, Chen Haoyu was very curious about everything. The venue was so big and there were so many shots that it was not comparable to the advertisement he shot.
Bae Doona brought Chen Haoyu to director Bong Joon-ho. The most impressive thing about the uncle in front of her was the hair that looked like a lion dog. Chen Haoyu tried his best to hold back his smile. In my impression, the director was not serious and majestic. This uncle looked very gentle, with a smile on his face, and a loose casual suit on his body.
"You are Chen Haoyu. You look gentle and gentle. I didn't expect that you would be so brave. This role should be very suitable for you. Otherwise, even if Doona recommends me, I wouldn't consider it. Go to the back and change your clothes and come to audition." Bong Joon-ho's speech was gradually overlapping with the directors in Haoyu's impression. It seemed that the Knight video was added. Although the director seemed to be very disrespectful to Doona, the director wouldn't have asked him to audition if he didn't recommend Doona.
Chen Haoyu had no idea what this movie meant to Bong Joon-ho. This was Bong Joon-ho's 18-year dream. He had been preparing for this for three years. An audition opportunity was something that many seniors in the film industry could not even get the chance. Chen Haoyu was very lucky because of the video of the knight on the Internet, and because of the senior Bae Doon-na. Haoyu bowed to the director and went to the back to change his clothes.
This is not the first time Chen Haoyu has faced the camera. He is quite relaxed in front of the camera. He said a few lines according to the script given by the director. Bong Joon-ho was not satisfied after seeing Haoyu's performance.
"I can't feel your feelings at all. This is not that you are memorizing texts when you read and memorize the text. Don't speak in such a cold tone. Think about the girl you were going to protect at that time!" Haoyu was choked by what director Bong Joon-ho said. This is the first time someone accused him of speaking coldly. Bong Joon-ho actually admired Chen Haoyu's fearlessness and a rather than bend personality in the video. He felt that the character in the play was Haoyu. Haoyu was the most suitable candidate he had not found for three years. Otherwise, how could the screenwriter change the script? Other actors could not get guidance from Bong Joon-ho during audition. It was not suitable to leave directly. Bong Joon-ho was able to point out Haoyu's shortcomings in his performance just now. This behavior surprised everyone on the scene. He tried hundreds of people in this role. No one could make Bong Joon-ho speak, and it was even more impossible to give guidance.
Pei Douna walked to Chen Haoyu and said to him: "Haoyu, try to think about it, if you couldn't protect that girl at that time..."
"No, never!" Bae Doona was interrupted by Chen Haoyu before she finished speaking. Doona did not feel any displeasure because Haoyu interrupted her. Chen Haoyu seemed to have completely entered the imaginary scene that Doona gave him. Haoyu clasped his hands tightly and bit his lips. His eyes were sometimes empty and sometimes sharp. Tears fell silently from his face. Doona looked at the big boy who was crying silently in front of him, and his heart was completely moved. At this moment, Chen Haoyu's mind flashed with lovely smiles, protecting his life - this is his promise to them...
"I will use my life to protect them, and I will never let them suffer any harm!" Chen Haoyu wiped his face covered with tears and said in a hoarse voice.
"Okay, Kim Min-seok, you give him the original script. Haoyu, you can study hard on the set these three days, and start shooting your part in three days." After seeing Haoyu showing his sad side completely, Bong Joon-ho immediately decided on the role.
"Director Bong, our adapted content is almost halfway through, and it's too late to reshoot it." Associate Director Kim Min-seok wanted to persuade Bong Joon-ho to give up.
"Don't worry about this. I just saw Haoyu, so I decided to edit two versions of this movie. I didn't have to move the film before. Now I just need to reshoot Haoyu's part. I know you are worried about Haoyu's acting skills. If Haoyu's part is not good, our original shooting has not been affected." Bong Joon-ho paused and continued, "I am very confident in my videos. I am full of expectations for Haoyu's performance. Think about it, the two films we filmed in Korea will be the craziest chapter in the history of the Republic of Korea." The staff at the scene were really looking forward to that scene after listening to Bong Joon-ho's temporary speech. They will all become characters who create Korean film history.
Bong Junhao got up and walked to Haoyu, patted his shoulder and said, "Haoyu, don't let me down, give everyone a surprise!" Haoyu said nothing but nodded heavily.
In the next three days, Haoyu watched the acting skills of his predecessors on the spot and was familiar with his script. The difference between this version of Haoyu and the previous version was the change of one of the characters. In the adapted script, Haoyu's character was set as a 7-8-year-old boy named Shizhong. The story developed in this way. Hyun-soo, who was trapped in the sewer, and Sezhong, who was also caught by a monster but survived, were looking for a way to escape. She connected her clothes together and twisted them into a rope, trying to use the rope to escape from the sewer, but was discovered by the monster. The monster swallowed Hyun-soo and Sezhong into their mouths and returned to the water surface... At the same time, Park Kang-dou escaped from the hospital again and came to the Han River. He always felt that his daughter was still saved.
.Nanzhu also crawled out of the gap and continued to search for Hyun-soo, while Namri was awakened by a beggar. The two made homemade incendiary bombs with wine bottles and rushed to the Han River. The government has issued an order to release a potion called "Orange Storm" on the Han River. This potion can kill the bacteria on the monster and has great lethality to the human body. Park Kang-do's family is desperate and united. Even if Hyun-soo is dead, they will find her body and kill the monster to avenge her. The monster swam to the shore. Nanzhu's arrows, Nan-ri's moor bottles and the steel pipes picked up by Kang-do took turns to fight, giving the monster a fatal blow. The "Orange Storm" also began to start, and the monster was finally killed. The monster spit out Hyun-soo and Shi-clock from his mouth. At this moment, Hyun-soo had stopped breathing.
In the original script, Haoyu's character is a 16-year-old boy named Yujun. He met Hyun-soo in the sewer. The two actively looked for ways to escape. Yujun protected Hyun-soo and used all the items they could use in the sewer to protect Hyun-soo again and again. Hyun-soo, who had no brother, developed a vague relationship between brother and sister and man and woman for Yujun. Because of fatigue, he was afraid that Hyun-soo was becoming less and less confident. Yujun, who was experiencing all this, showed the wisdom, courage and confidence that a man burst out when he encountered life threats when he was guarding himself. When there was no way out, Yujun did not hesitate to block the crazy
Monster, made the final effort for Hyun-soo's escape. The two looked at each other for the last time, Yu-jun used all their strength to shout at Hyun-soo who escaped: "In order to love you and the one you love, you must survive!" Yu-joon was swallowed by the monster, Hyun-soo ran away, Park Kang-do's family reunited by the Han River, the whole family united, Hyun-soo wanted to avenge You-joon and find his body. The whole family took turns to fight. With the investment of government forces, the monster was finally killed. Hyun-soo cut open the monster's belly and found Yu-joon's body and cried bitterly. Hyun-soo grew up and became an environmental scientist. Every year, Yu-joon's death day, Hyun-soo would go to Yu-joon's grave to meet Yu-joon...
During the filming, Doona would not leave the set even if she didn't have her own scenes. She always used the break to guide Haoyu's acting skills. Song Kang-ho, who is the Korean actor, is also very approachable. He told Haoyu about his many years of acting experience and also told him about the drama. "Haoyu, when you are filming, don't think about how you should play this role. Once you think of this, you will fall into a bad mood. If you want to completely integrate yourself with the role, what happens to the role is like your own experience, you must empathize. Take the parting scene between you and Yaxing, as an example, you must understand that it is reality. How do you think you should feel in your heart at that time?"
"It may be in pain, but there may be happiness. It is painful because she cannot continue to protect her, so that she can live and be happy!" Haoyu's expression was very complicated and he was quite entangled inside.
"That's right. Human feelings are very complicated. The expression just now is very good. You can think carefully." Song Kanghao patted Haoyu on the shoulder. This kid is really good and spiritual. It seems that the director did not choose the wrong person.
After the guidance of Sister Doona and her senior Song Kanghao, Chen Haoyu slowly integrated what he learned and what he understood into his filming. He did not have many scenes, which also gave him more time to ponder his acting skills in his first trial. Chen Haoyu's performance in every face of the camera is getting better and better after this. Bong Junhao is very satisfied with Chen Haoyu's progress in this regard. Gao Yaxing, who plays opposite Chen Haoyu, has also performed better and better because of Chen Haoyu's rapid progress. He has to face two different versions of Hyun-soo, one is strong and the other is fragile. Gao Yaxing is very good at grasping it.
After the filming of the movie was completed, everyone gathered together. Director Bong Joon-ho said to all the cast and crew: "Everyone has worked hard during this period, and the newcomers have performed very well, especially the two different Hyun-soos played by Yaxing left a deep impression on me. Think about Haoyu's performance in the first audition, and Haoyu who has been constantly improving during the filming. He gave us a huge surprise and everyone applauded them!"
After the filming of the movie, Chen Haoyu returned home, took a shower, poured himself on the bed and fell asleep.
Ji-eun lay on the bed, fiddling with his cell phone. Half a month passed, and Brother Haoyu had not contacted him.
S.m company practice room, several girls sat on the ground against the wall.
"What do you think Haoyu has been doing during this period? Yoona, have you met him at school? I called him and kept turning on the computer?" Yuri asked Yoona beside her about Chen Haoyu's whereabouts.
"He is busier than me. He is not here when I went to school twice. I asked Han Junnan and didn't know what he was doing." Yuna was also wondering.
Soo-yeon listened quietly to the conversation between the two girls and recalled the scene of playing the piano with Chen Haoyu that day.
"I'll go out for a walk." Soo-yeon got up and left the practice room.
The night is like a black curtain covering Seoul. In the night sky, there is no moon visible. Occasionally, sparse stars are slightly exposed. The colorful neon lights are shining with confusing light, which is fascinating and confusing people's eyes...
