When I Opened My Eyes I Was A Superstar

Chapter 119

119. Identity (2)

Director Yoon Seong-ah worked hard to build the best film team she knew and possible. Starting with the cinematographer, who can be said to be the most important next to the director, to the lighting director and even one scripter, she carefully considered and selected people.

Although she received investment, it is her first project. Besides, since she had not been away from the movie version for a while, it is not easy to build a team because there are many disconnected ties.

However, director Yoon Seong-ah did not care much. Hyowon and Junghwan. It is because the casting of the two most important actors is perfect as Director Yoon Seong-ah had envisioned.

'It's already half done with only the actors. I just need to do well.'

That is the mindset of Director Yoon Seong-ah. Park Hyo-won, who plays Hyo-won, is the name director Yoon Seong-ah had in mind when she first wrote the scenario for <Blue Whale>. It is for that reason that the station name was derived from Park Hyo-won's real name.

The role of Jeong-hwan is not something she thought of Do-wook from the beginning. However, when he saw Do-wook acting in 'Back to the Eighteen', director Yoon Seong-ah thought that the role of Jung-hwan would suit Do-wook.

The casting that director Yoon Seong-ah dreamed of is not casting as it was in the image. She wanted to aim for a proper reversal. In fact, Park Hyo-won's nickname as an undergraduate was 'garbage truck'. He was a junior they met at a drinking party, but the first impression is not good.

All that came out of Park Hyo-won's mouth was swearing. He seemed to play quite a bit during his school days. If we are to compare ugly and handsome, Park Hyo-won is on the handsome side, but she couldn't say he is handsome. It is because he is too sharp and ferocious.

Fortunately, however, he is not a real bully. His behavior and tone were rough, but he wasn't the one wielding actual violence. When he was in high school, he was an ordinary nerd who had no interest in studying. Still, the image is scary, and all the acting Park Hyo-won has done so far has been like that. It was like a back alley thug.

In the process, he left an impressive performance, but that was it. So director Yoon Seong-ah wanted to bring out a different character from Park Hyo-won.

Do-wook is the same. Do-wook reflected in the media is an upright, healthy boy and young man. In fact, it was so, so there was no stomach upset. However, after seeing that he took on such a role, he got a little bit of a challenge spirit.

'When I see an actor wearing clothes that fit too well, I somehow want to wear completely new clothes. Director Yoon Seong-ah believed that Do-wook would have a sharp part. When they actually met, Do-wook, who comforted him, was of course warm... … … … .'

There is a cold corner for some reason. Like an uncovered glacier... . If I help you bring out that nature and let him walk the path of a full-fledged actor, he'll be a really great actor.'

It was director Yoon Seong-ah who thought so. When Do-wook decided to appear in <Blue Whale> and had the opportunity to do this for himself, he felt some kind of joy.

It is not common for casting to come first and then forming a filming team. But there were pros and cons. In particular, because of Do-wook, a small happening occurred.

When Do-wook's appearance was confirmed, the investment company was frightened and did not hide its joy. Naturally, the evaluation of <Blue Whale> seemed to be higher.

It had to be. I decided to invest, but it was only part of the art film support policy, and I did not expect a big profit.

However, when Do-wook came in, the story changed. With the appearance of Do-wook, who is already popular with the public, it is possible to enjoy a much greater publicity effect than originally. It was the first time for a movie, so I couldn't predict how much Do-wook's ticket power would be.
