God-Given Top Star 206. The Atmosphere Has Changed (1)

206. The Atmosphere Has Changed (1)

2022.05.25.

“Let’s stop here for today. The time is…….”

“Ah, right. It would be a problem if Yeonwoo doesn’t eat dinner, so let’s stop for today.”

The reason why Yeonwoo, who usually found eating subtly annoying, was taking care of his meals was this.

Not long ago.

PD [Production Director] Gil Sang-jun had contacted him.

“Yeonwoo, how have you been?! It’s nothing much, but the audition schedule has been confirmed, so I’m contacting you to let you know…….”

It is very rare for a general PD to contact an individual actor directly.

But it wasn’t a rare occurrence for Yeonwoo.

“Why can’t this guy give up…….”

The very first thought that came to mind after hanging up the phone was this.

The PD, who was informing Yeonwoo of the audition date, subtly informed him of the lead role audition date as well.

In words,

“Haha! After announcing that we were holding auditions for the lead role, so many people flocked to it that we had to set a separate date. Ah, so perhaps that’s why many actors are challenging themselves for both roles. So, we spaced out the dates a bit for that reason. That way, the actors will be able to concentrate more easily, right……?”

But if you look at the reality, it’s like this.

‘I deliberately set a separate date, so please participate……!’

It just sounds like they’re telling you to participate for the experience, but it’s no different from fishing.

If he goes to the lead role audition, it was obvious that they would immediately accept him there and make it impossible for him to back out.

PD Gil’s unwavering hope was professional.

It was a pity that Yeonwoo didn’t feel anything about it.

‘Now, a week later.’

It wasn’t sudden because there had already been talk that the date would be set around when.

Rather, it felt like what was coming had come.

“Are you going to exercise after dinner?”

“I have to.”

Now, with the audition just a week away.

Acting is important, but something more important remained for Yeonwoo.

That is.

“There’s only a week left, so time is tight.”

It was exercise.

To be precise, it was like trimming the lines one last time.

‘This character needs to be in good shape.’

That was the conclusion Yeonwoo came to while researching the character.

He could vaguely read it even in the short script given.

This serial killer character was not only brilliant but also physically fit enough to commit murder at will, regardless of the target.

Of course, he was good at fighting.

He needed to have the physique to subdue his opponent in an instant so that they couldn’t move.

‘But that doesn’t mean I should just build up a lot of muscle.’

He is tall and has a good body, but if he bulks up too much to the point of being too noticeable, there is a risk that the commonly referred to as intelligent feeling will fade away.

‘Anyway, when acting, the actors will match up, so it doesn’t matter if I don’t bother with training…….’

That’s what people who don’t know say.

There’s CG [Computer Graphics]?

Is it okay to pretend and move on with editing?

That’s all old news.

-Ah…… the battle scene CG is so obvious;;

-What’s that in the background? Who prints out the background and sets it up? Is the broadcasting station not doing its job properly?

-If you’re going to use a stand-in, use someone who looks similar. Yes? What’s the point if the stuntman is good? It’s obvious that it’s a stand-in because of the height and body shape.

The incredibly advanced TV technology and the viewers’ improved eye for detail caught it sharply.

It was something that could never happen to Yeonwoo, who had decided to do his best.

“You look fine as you are now…….”

“No. It’s not enough yet.”

According to the trainer, the best thing to do in the final stage is to evaporate even the moisture to show every single muscle fiber in the body.

That way, even the movement of tendons and blood vessels can be seen vividly, showing the trained muscles at their best.

Of course, Yeonwoo didn’t need to tighten it to such an extreme, but he was still putting on a final spurt to split and grow the texture a little more.

“The Kim Sun-woo I imagined must be perfectly complete, even down to his body.”

A perfectly managed physique is also part of the character.

“Okay. In that case, you’ll have another steak, right?”

“……Yes.”

I don’t know why the result is going that way.

It was obvious that protein was important for building a body.

Yeonwoo sighed and accepted another plate of medium-rare cooked meat.

“Clothes?”

When the audition was just three days away.

Yeonwoo had to face an unexpected hidden danger.

“I was just going to wear something neat and tidy.”

As soon as Yeonwoo’s answer was over, Dongja-ryeong said.

[See? What did I tell you, actor? He really doesn’t have any thoughts! Our kid is kind, but what should I say…… he doesn’t really know the ways of the world. Sigh. I raised him too preciously.]

“……?”

I think I heard something strange just now.

‘Who raised who? Preciously? Pampered?’

What is this absurd sound?

“Yeonwoo, what were you planning to wear?”

“Just…… I was going to wear a simple shirt and pants.”

Isn’t that the most plain and neat outfit?

[Sigh. That’s why I’m so frustrated.]

The hamster, who was the first to hear Yeonwoo’s plan, patted his fluffy chest with his tiny hands.

What Dongja-ryeong did next was none other than calling Kwon Seong-hyun.

Yeonwoo blinked at the sudden appearance of Kwon Seong-hyun, and Dongja-ryeong began to tell him everything in detail.

And.

“Did the stylist tell you to go like that?”

If so, he’s ready to have a serious interview with that employee.

“No.”

“Then……?”

“I’m just going to an audition, is there even a dress code?”

How to practice acting for an audition.

How to capture the character.

What is the format of the audition?

Etc.

He received a lot of help of various kinds, but even so, a newbie was a newbie.

Wondering if he had missed something, Kwon Seong-hyun smiled meaningfully.

[That’s what he’s like. When he falls for one thing, he can’t see the others. That’s why he says such frustrating things!]

“Dongja, calm down. Yeonwoo? What’s the concept of this character?”

“Well…… an intelligent psychopath.”

“What kind of feeling do you usually get when you say intelligent?”

“An elite office worker wearing a suit…… Ah.”

Only then did he realize why Dongja-ryeong had reacted that way.

“Then I can wear a suit.”

Fortunately, he had a suit on hand.

When he said that he would wear it, Kwon Seong-hyun and Dongja-ryeong shook their heads at the same time.

[He still doesn’t know anything. Him.]

“I guess so.”

The two whispered, leaving only himself out.

Kwon Seong-hyun said, looking at Yeonwoo, who still didn’t know what was going on.

“Fortunately, there’s still some time left. Let’s go.”

“Yes? Where to?”

“To get you some clothes, Yeonwoo.”

The car that Kwon Seong-hyun was driving was luxurious, down to every single interior material.

Looking at the familiar overlapping circle emblem, the brand seemed to come to mind.

“But, I really have a suit. I don’t need to buy another one…….”

“Yeonwoo. You’ve been working out a lot lately, right?”

“Yes.”

“You worked so hard to build your body.”

“Yes. I did.”

“I think your physique has become much prettier.”

Yeonwoo was able to trim his body by putting on a final spurt as much as he wanted.

He pumped up some parts of his muscles and carefully split other parts so that he could feel the texture of the muscles in detail.

If you wear just a thin tee, the lines of your nicely made body are revealed as they are.

During the last class before the audition.

The trainer said this.

“Kuh…… This must be the heart of an artist.”

“Yes?”

“In the old days, European artists and sculptors used to take people off and draw and sculpt them a lot. I think I know that feeling. So I wanted to keep it as a painting or sculpture for the rest of my life…….”

“……?”

It was a slightly chilly word.

What’s even more eerie is that it was [true] again.

“Anyway, it’s better to stop now. If you set the angle too much, it may be difficult to reverse it when additional requests come in.”

Even after passing the audition, the character may change little by little depending on the writer’s or PD’s request.

The intention that can be read from the script is extremely limited, so the possibility that Yeonwoo’s interpretation does not completely match the writer’s interpretation cannot be ruled out.

Anyway, the point is this.

Yeonwoo’s physique has improved so much that the trainer is impressed.

‘But do you express that it’s getting prettier……?’

Anyway, Kwon Seong-hyun’s words are not much different from the trainer’s.

“Your old clothes won’t fit well.”

“Yes? No way. It’s not like I lost a lot of weight, I just added some physique and clearly organized the lines…….”

“It’s not just about gaining or losing weight that makes clothes not fit. To be more precise, I should say that the clothes don’t look good? Should I say that the style doesn’t live?”

“No way……?”

“They say ‘no way’ catches people [a Korean saying meaning disbelief often leads to unexpected outcomes].”

Yeonwoo had no interest in clothes at all.

That’s why it was difficult for him to understand what Kwon Seong-hyun was saying.

‘Isn’t it okay to just wear clothes?’

Clothes are fine as long as they are not worn out, severely wrinkled, or have holes in them.

Isn’t it okay to wear them for warmth anyway?

Of course, he had no way of knowing the subtle differences in clothing style that Kwon Seong-hyun was talking about.

Looking at Yeonwoo, Dongja-ryeong even said this.

[Yeonwoo, you…… if you’re going to use that face, that body, like that, just hand it over to me! Hand it over!]

Of course, Yeonwoo didn’t even listen.

“Are you crazy? Are you finally evolving into an evil spirit? Are you trying to covet a human body now that you don’t have an animal body?”

[Aagh! Frustrating! Just wear whatever our actor chooses for you! Our actor’s eye for fashion is better than most stylists, so just do what the actor tells you to do!]

……Why does that memory suddenly come to mind?

“Um. Now, Yeonwoo’s shoulders are a little wider and his waist is a little slimmer, so if you wear the suit you wore before, the fit will be awkward. The shoulder line will go up a little and the waist will be baggy. There’s a limit to adjusting with a belt…… In that case, it’s better to get a new one, so the clothes line will fall neatly and the style will live.”

“Is that so……?”

“Yes. That’s it.”

Kwon Seong-hyun smiled softly and gave a firm answer.

“And this role. You said the body is important.”

“Yes.”

“Then you should wear clothes that make your body stand out even more. It would be even better if it matches the character’s atmosphere. Right?”

“Yes. Well…….”

“You worked so hard to make it…… you’re not going to take off your clothes, are you?”

“…….”

“……?”

Kwon Seong-hyun, who was driving, hurriedly turned to the side.

“Were you going to take it off?”
