43. I guess that friend is not normal.

The historical drama film is the work of creating a meaningful link by recreating the link of history that is not smooth due to the limitations of public history recorded in books as a video with the addition of the creator’s imagination.

Historical dramas can also be divided into several sub-genres, but Jijon (至尊) could be said to be an authentic historical drama genre. All events and chronicles that remain as historical facts are not distorted, and parts such as King Sukjong’s psychological state and emotions are not recorded in detail, so they are reconstructed with the imagination of the creator added to the line that does not harm the probability.

Because of this, the historical drama genre had infinite possibilities.

However, since it was filmed from the distant past, it was common to build an open set, so it was also a reality that the production cost was more than doubled compared to modern dramas.

Most of Jijon (至尊) was also filmed in Jeonju Hanok Village and Mungyeongsaejae open set, but for places like Eojeon, an indoor set had to be built separately.

Crank-in day, two weeks after the script reading of The Greatest.

Filming was scheduled at the open set in Mungyeong, so the actors began to gather on set one after another.

Park Chang-soo, who plays Song Si-yeol, the most senior among them, finished his makeup early and was enjoying a walk around the Hanok Village by himself.

The fact that Park Chang-soo usually arrives earlier than the scheduled shooting time and enjoys taking a tour of the set and taking a walk is so famous that anyone on the floor has heard of it at least once.

Park Chang-soo, who was enjoying the peace of the Hanok Village, where there was silence as if someone had pressed the mute button in the cloudless, spotless sky, was looking closely at each of the hanoks.

same time.

Kyuha also arrived earlier than the scheduled time and was looking around the open set. While I was looking around with only my face makeup finished, I heard a strange sound somewhere.

“Meow”

I went to the place where I heard the sound of a cat crying weakly, and there was a bright yellow kitten lying on its stomach and crying endlessly. Perhaps because he had starved for several days, his ribs were so skinny that his ribs were skinny, and because he had no energy, he couldn’t even resist when Gyuha approached him.

Kyu-ha watched the bright yellow kitten quietly, wondering if he would really die, but instinctively had a strong will to continue his life.

“Oh right. It was there.”

Then, when manager Bong-gu was hungry, he remembered the beef jerky he put in his pocket to chew on, so he took the beef jerky out of his pocket and put it in front of the cat.

The cat hurriedly devoured the jerky, as if the smell of the jerky had given him strength. When something went into her stomach, the kitten regained some energy and began to show affection by sticking her head in to Kyu-ha.

“Nya~ meow”

“Are you saying thank you for saving me? You are a beast that knows grace. Anyway, I’m going.”

The bright yellow kitten stared intently at Kyu-ha, who turned around without looking back, and soon moved to a corner under the veranda.

“hello? teacher.”

Gyu-ha, who continued his short walk, accidentally found Park Chang-soo and approached him and greeted him politely.

“ah. You are our master. Hee hee, you came early.”

Park Chang-soo made a light joke, received Gyu-ha’s greeting, and waved to Kyu-ha.

“Kyuha-kun, would you like to come here for a second?”

At the call of Park Chang-soo, who was a senior, Gyu-ha approached.

“Could you sit down here on the cornerstone and talk to this old man?”

“Sure, sir. I am honored.”

Looking at the eyes of Park Chang-soo, who seemed to be detached from somewhere and felt dizzy, Kyu-ha, who has lived a lot of life, could clearly see the image of a master who had reached the pinnacle of one field.

Park Chang-soo, who was sitting on the foundation stone, pointed at the roof of the hanok with his finger.

“If you look at the roof of that hanok, can you see the ends of the eaves lines lifted? Do you know what it is?”

“Isn’t it ugly, sir?”

“Hoo? Do young people these days know ugly women?”

Park Chang-soo looked at Kyu-ha with a bit of surprise, probably not knowing that Kyu-ha would give the correct answer.

“Then, if you look closely at the ugly woman over there, you can see that the tip is slightly lifted, right? Do you know why the corner of the ugly woman is slightly lifted?”

“If you dare to say it, you could say ‘aesthetics to solve problems’.”

“Ho! You really surprise me.”

Perhaps this answer was really unexpected, Park Chang-soo exclaimed. Usually, it was because answers like ‘to look pretty’ and ‘the beauty of Korean curves’ were common.

Park Chang-soo continued talking as if he was interested in Kyu-ha’s unusual answer.

“Could you explain a bit more?”

“If you look at the structure of a hanok, most of them have a square roof. And the rafters (the skeleton of the roof) come together to make a roof and also create the eaves.”

“right. You know the structure of your hanok very well! therefore?”

“If you look at the reason why the eaves are made, the pillars of the hanok are made of wood, so they are very vulnerable to rain. So, eaves were made to prevent rain from hitting the wooden poles. The reason why we made the cornerstone or podium here is to protect the house from water after all.”

“Are you right?”

“Anyway, when it rains, a lot of water gets on the poles, but if you lift the ends of the eaves like that, the sunlight comes in and dries the poles quickly. That’s why I heard a little bit of ugly like that. So, most of what humans feel as beauty often comes from correct answers to solve problems.”

“Where did you study architecture? There’s nothing you don’t know at a young age. hehehehe, especially the last sentence is very interesting.”

Park Chang-soo praised Kyu-ha, perhaps astonishing Kyu-ha’s common sense and insight.

“I never studied separately, and when I was living in a temple when I was young, all I heard from monks was earring.”

“You said you lived in a temple when you were young? The more you know, the more surprising it is. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this feeling. If the old man isn’t bothering you, how about a few more words? It is a pleasure to chat with you.”

“Sure. teacher. It is what I hoped for.”

Like that, Kyu-ha and Park Chang-soo sat on the cornerstone and talked for nearly an hour, and the more Park Chang-soo talked, the more he couldn’t help but admire Kyu-ha’s rich knowledge and insight that was not befitting his age.

“This, on the contrary, broadened my knowledge. It’s been a long time since we talked without realizing how much time passed. chuckle.”

Park Chang-soo laughed out loud and patted Gyu-ha on the shoulder.

“It was a very enjoyable time for me too. I wish I could have a conversation like this often.”

These words were sincere. There was a time when I enjoyed sharing Zen dialogues to find the truth with ‘Piero Babellard’, the hero of Goliard, a group of intellectuals in the Middle Ages who actually ruled.

“That’s what I’m asking for. In this industry, when I get older and older, everyone looks up to me, but to be honest, I often feel lonely. I’m polite, but it’s also true that I feel uncomfortable. But you don’t make me uncomfortable. It’s been a while since I met a friend I like. Shooting time is almost over, so let’s go to the set together.”

“Yes, teacher. I’ll see you. Let’s go together.”

“Yeki! What do you not know? My knees may still be more useful than yours.”

Park Chang-soo joked with Kyu-ha, sat down and stood up, and trudged ahead. If someone I knew saw it, they would rub their eyes and doubt it. Usually, Park Chang-soo was on the frank side, but it was because he did not get along with anyone in the field. It was common to receive greetings from juniors like a noble crane.

Kyu-ha stuck next to Park Chang-soo, who was leading the way, and continued the rest of the story as they walked to the scene where the staff were gathered.

The scene was very busy preparing for filming.

Each actor was in the middle of rehearsing their lines, and the costume team was busy taking care of the clothes of the assistant performers.

“uh!? There you are. Teacher Park Chang-soo and Kyu-ha were together. But… Huh!?”

Assistant director Woo Jae-mok was just about to go looking for Park Chang-su after receiving instructions from the director to bring him. He was delighted when Kyu-ha and Park Chang-soo appeared together.

“is it? chuckle There were parts that were funnier than you thought.”

What was so funny was that Park Chang-soo, who was known for being gentle, laughed so loudly that all eyes on the scene turned to Kyu-ha and Park Chang-soo.

“Oh, my voice is too loud. I’m sorry.”

At that time, Jung Sang-soo, who played the role of Heo-jeok, who was in the middle of practice, approached and asked with a surprised look.

“No, hyung-nim, I’ve been seeing you for nearly 20 years, but is this the first time I’ve seen you laugh so loudly? What kind of funny things are you talking about?”

“Hello, senior.”

“Oh, isn’t it our Highness? How are you coming with my older brother again?”

“We met by chance during a field walk and came together.”

“Hey constant. This friend, this is a very good thing. It’s the first time I’ve seen such a good junior like this lately.”

On this floor, when Park Chang-soo, famous for being stingy with compliments, openly expressed his liking, Jeong Sang-soo raised his eyebrows and looked at Gyu-ha.

“It seems that Sukjong’s juniors have firmly liked his older brother, who is known for being strict. Please tell me what the know-how is later.”

“Hey constant. Don’t talk nonsense. It’s not an easy role, it’s a lie.”

“Oh, don’t even talk, brother. I’ve been specializing in historical dramas for 30 years, but haven’t most of them been related? It’s fun to play the role of a civil servant this time, but there are too many lines, so I’m dying. In the past, when you were playing a general, these guys should have stood!, Attack! I only had to do these lines, but these civil servants are on the verge of losing more hair while memorizing their lines.”

“Clap. I thought so, so I asked. Originally, politicians have no choice but to have three inches long tongues. Anyway, constant. From now on, Kyuha-kun will take good care of you. You are my precious companion.”

“A friend? Are you with your brother? Heh heh.”

Jeong Sang-soo, who had a drinking party with Park Chang-soo 15 years ago, remembered that it was difficult to follow Park Chang-soo’s conversation. Wasn’t it Jaewon Park Chang-soo who graduated from Korea University’s Department of Aesthetics in those difficult days?

He was Jeong Sang-soo, who had the experience of breaking into a cold sweat while uttering gibberish when occasional philosophical questions penetrated his lungs.

‘Did you tell me to sing? I guess that friend is not normal. How difficult is your older brother’s eyes to see people? I’ll have to watch closely.’

For some reason, Jeong Sang-soo, who was curious, thought that he should gradually learn about Kyu-ha.

“Seniors. Then I will finish the rest of my makeup and come back.”

“Okay, finish well and come back.”

After saying hello to the two seniors, Kyu-ha got on a makeup bus parked in the parking lot and went to get the remaining makeup.

Park Chang-soo and Jeong Sang-soo talked about the work, and soon Park Yeon-jin, who played the role of Yoon-hyu, joined in and started talking.

“OK! Installation is complete here!”

Finally, with the installation of the rails of the camera moving vehicle, all preparations for filming were completed.

“Then, let’s finally start the first shoot. Actors, please stand by!”

That’s how the long-awaited first filming of ‘The Supreme’ began.
