Part 2 - 6

Yesterday’s shooting ended a little after 5 in the morning, just as the sky started to become lighter.

Lee Tae Sung is showing dramatic changes in this film – so much so, that even he is aware of it.

All the staffs that are supporting him - in costumes, make-up, camera, and lights - testify that he seems like a different person from the actor in the beginning of this project. Everyone is impressed by how his expression has become manly and sharp.

When he stood in front of the train, with his whole being charged with energy, his expression and image had an aura that made one gaze at him unblinkingly.

”Lee Soo Hyun is here this moment for sure!” These words were voiced as if in unison by everyone at the site.

There is no doubt that he will become an actor that will lead the Korean film industry of the next generation. Marky, who joined us around 1 a.m. also made a heartfelt performance of the very first scene of the film just before sunrise. A sorrowful requiem inexpressible by words was flowing from her whole being. It made me naturally recall the image of the music used in the opening of the film.

This would surely make another beautiful scene.

What is being shot is surpassing my expectations of the completed image in a positive sense. This is the best reward of all. Perhaps that is why my shoulders are not as stiff as it usually is.

On the way back, I slept like a log in the car. I was so energetic until a while ago, but strangely, I felt totally drained then.


EXTRA





Green back


The front part appears to be completely white in this photo, but actually, a green cloth to be used for computer generated images is being put up all over the wall.

So, what sort of picture will appear in this scene? I look forward to seeing it in the film.
