46. Can I not worry?

Open set shooting site in Goesan-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do.

Time passed like flowing water, and the sub-zero air made the body freeze. However, as if the flames of passion were not extinguished, numerous staff members of the supreme filming team were busy moving.

It is often said that filming is the ‘art’ of waiting, and that the filming site is the ‘continuation’ of waiting.

In front of the long wait, there was no supporting or leading role.

Even though it is customary to advance the filming time for an elder actor like Park Chang-soo, he waited for several hours until his turn came to avoid causing damage to other actors’ filming time being delayed because of him.

Perhaps thanks to the great senior’s example, it was hard to find any sign of exhaustion or hard work on the set of the actors on their faces. It was full of excitement and anticipation, and only the vitality derived from it. As the proportion of historical dramas and period dramas gradually decreased, and the position of middle-aged actors gradually disappeared, the stage on which they could show off their abilities naturally decreased. Therefore, the news of the shooting of ‘The Most High’ was like rebuilding the stage for them.

short break time.

As usual, Park Chang-soo and Kyu-ha, who played the role of Song Si-yeol, sat on the chairs for rest and talked about various things.

It was a common sight for three months, so no one inside the set thought it was strange.

Park Chang-soo asked Kyu-ha, pointing at the dancheong toward the roof with his wrinkled finger.

“Kyuha-kun. Do you know why the dancheong was painted so colorfully? Every time I filmed historical dramas for decades, I always wondered why our ancestors had to paint that part so fancy.”

“Dancheong? Hmm… Many people know that dancheong is painted to protect trees from rain, wind, and pests. But that may not be the whole reason.”

Park Chang-soo’s eyes shone with interest.

“Hoo? Is there any other reason for that?”

“I thought about why I chose such a flashy color, but when I looked around, the answer came out. If you look around where we are now, aren’t green leaves and brown branches prevalent? When our ancestors looked out through a window in a room, the color of the eaves was important. In other words, the eaves become the frame of the picture frame.”

“A frame?”

“So, the goal would have been to blur the boundary with nature by painting Dancheong in a color that is as close to nature as possible. Another thing, if you look outside from the inside, does the eaves look dark due to backlighting? It looks pretty dull when painted in normal colors. However, since the dancheong is so bright and clear, I would have tried to give the impression that the surrounding nature naturally enters the interior despite the backlight.”

This was a part where the sensibility and wisdom of our ancestors stood out so much that it seemed interesting even to Gyuha, who shared the life of the great artist and architect Donatello.

“As expected, Kyuha-kun’s insight is great. I heard some very interesting things.”

“If you think about it a little, these are all reasonable things.”

“I’m sure you’ll get tired of saying it several times, but really, Kyu-ha-kun doesn’t look like his age.”

At that time, the assistant director picked up the microphone around his neck and shouted to start filming in a loud voice.

“Let’s go to the next shoot! Actors, please prepare.”

When the standby sign came out, the actors who were taking a break began to gather one by one.

“Let us go too.”

“Yes, teacher.”

The two of them stood side by side as much as the distance of their hearts became closer and moved to the scene together.

[The Most High]

Knight’s Country.

King Sukjong’s 15th year.

This is the second return to the country that occurred when King Sukjong was approaching the age of 30. This return country was actually a return country where King Sukjong’s retaliatory purges were intense.

King Sukjong was strongly dissatisfied with the fact that he was still ignoring the kingship and emphasizing the priesthood more after having been in politics with the Westerners for several years.

The incident started when King Sukjong recklessly appointed Jang Hui-bin’s son, who would later become King Gyeongjong, as an atomic bomber. This was the same as saying that he would designate the concubine’s child as the official crown prince.

At that time, an atom from an outcast was unprecedented.

King Sukjong gathered the ministers and conveyed his firm will.

“There is no place where the public sentiment is bound because the national script (the crown prince) has not been decided, so if there is someone who hesitates to make a decision, hesitates and waits, and dares to raise an objection, dedicate your office and leave!”

At this time, Lee Jo Panseo Nam Yong-ik stepped forward.

“majesty. While the spring and autumn season of Queen Inhyeon, the queen’s queen, is still in full swing, it is still too early to consider a son born from a concubine as a member of the family. Please contact me.”

“Please contact me.”

“Speak! It is an unfair thing to assign a name to the prince of a concubine’s son. Please contact me.”

“Please contact me.”

Led by Song Si-yeol, Westerners such as Kim Man-jung protested greatly. As for them, they had no choice but to support Queen Inhyeon of the Jungjeon who was from Seoin.

However, King Sukjong was a precious son whom he had only seen when he was 30 years old, and his love for Jang Hui-bin was very deep, so he had no choice but to rush to decide on the pen name of the son.

In the end, five days later, King Sukjong arbitrarily reported to Jongmyosajik that he had chosen a prince born in Jang Hui-bin as a prince.

In response, Song Si-yeol posted a long appeal citing Cheoljong of the Song Dynasty, and Sukjong, angry, called the monks in an angry voice and ordered them to give their opinions.

Namin servants strongly criticized Song Si-yeol, wanting to be at this time.

“Your Highness is a fool. As a servant, how can you raise such a solemn appeal! It is considered that it is right to punish and punish Song Si-yeol.”

King Sukjong gripped the handle of the throne tightly as if it would break it.

“Since Song Si-yeol’s will is like this, the disciples under him will surely rise. But Jim will never forgive Song Si-yeol.”

King Sukjong’s booming voice filled with anger echoed inside Myeongjeongjeon.

“Destroy Song Si-yeol and send him into exile to Jeju Island. And if anyone tries to help Song Si-yeol, I will never forgive him, even if they are ministers.”

King Sukjong’s cold anger did not end there.

Centering on Song Si-yeol, Kim Soo-heung, Kim Su-hang, Min Jeong-jung, Jo Se-seong, Lee Sang-jin, Kim Ik-hun, and Kim Man-jung, etc., were either poisoned or exiled by order of King Sukjong.

When this happened, Queen Inhyeon, who had been supported by Seoin, was also deposed and kicked out of the palace.

Even Namin voiced opposition to Sukjong’s decision.

“Your Highness, jealousy is common as a woman, so please forgive me.”

“How can you be so angry with the proper etiquette as a queen? Please contact me.”

However, King Sukjong enforced the removal of Queen Inhyeon and the promotion of Jang Hui-bin as queen.

The culmination of Sukjong’s toughness and ruthlessness was the killing of Song Si-yeol and Kim Su-hang in the end.

While Sukjong summoned the minister and officials of Bibyeonsa Temple to discuss state affairs, Uigeumbu judge Minam made a sudden proposal.

“majesty. Song Si-yeol’s extremely ugly and evil can be known without waiting for the Korean text. I think it is appropriate to ask the minister to deal with it.”

The swindler Min-am hinted to Sukjong that he should kill Song Si-yeol without a Korean interrogation.

So King Sukjong asked the other ministers about their intentions.

“It would be better for the Holy Spirit to deal with it after considering it.”

It was said that if King Sukjong decided, he would have Song Si-yeol tutored without Korean language. It was because there was a possibility that Seoin would be agitated and united if there was a Korean language.

In response, King Sukjong gave the order firmly without hesitation.

“Go down directly to Uigeum Budosa and kill Song Si-yeol at the point where you meet in the middle!”

In this way, Song Si-yeol led his body over 80 years old from Jeju Island to Hanyang again. Upon hearing the news, about 500 Confucian scholars from the West accompanied Song Si-yeol in his procession.

Upon hearing this news, King Sukjong was furious and gave orders.

“Such insolent bastards! Drop the poison on Song Si-yeol immediately, and disperse the Confucian students immediately! If there is anyone who disobeys, consider it treason and punish them one hundred times!”

When Kwon Cheo-gyeong, a guru of Uigeumbu who received the order, went to Jeongeup with poison, Song Si-yeol left a will to his disciples with eyes that transcended everything.

“Study should be centered on runners, and business should be centered on the will of Hyojong.”

After that will, Song Si-yeol looked up at the cloudless sky and calmly drank poison.

It was a lonely and shabby word from a giant who enjoyed an era.

“Okay cut!!! Everyone, please clap for teacher Park Chang-soo.”

clap clap clap clap.

Director Kim Jong-nam’s OK cut exploded. Today’s filming was Park Chang-soo’s last filming, so most of the junior actors were watching Park Chang-soo’s acting without breathing.

“As expected, this is teacher Park Chang-soo. His vocalization and diction are perfect.”

“I learned it at school, and teacher Park Chang-soo said he was a master of creative acting theory. That’s why you bring the character to life like that with improvised acting.”

Director Kim Jeong-nam approached Park Chang-soo, who had just woken up with emotions.

“Thank you very much for your hard work. I learned a lot as a director by watching the teacher’s acting.”

“Chuck. Director Kim also did a good job. It’s a pity that my filming ends here. It’s been a long time since I really liked the work and the role.”

“If it wasn’t for the teacher, no one would have been able to pull off Song Si-yeol to this extent. As a director, thank you again.”

“Don’t talk like that. The world is wide. I felt it once again while filming this movie. Especially when you see that friend.”

Just in time, Kyu-ha, who had approached Park Chang-soo and director Kim Jong-nam, greeted Park Chang-soo.

“Teacher, thank you very much for your hard work. It was such an honor to be able to act with you.”

“So do I. It was also a time when I realized that there was a lot to learn from people below me. I still break out in a cold sweat just thinking about the time you sat on the throne and yelled at me. chuckle And above all, thank you for being my friend. Getting older means getting lonely. Please be my companion from time to time.”

“Sure, sir. I will contact you often.”

With the death of Song Si-yeol, the filming of Park Chang-soo, an elderly actor, ended.

Animal Wrangler

These are people who train pets that can learn, such as dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, etc., that appear in movies, television, or commercials, and train them to act according to the script. Usually, after reviewing the script, the cave wrangler gives the animals pre-learning to implement the scene the director demands. In addition, it plays a role in stabilizing the animals emotionally at the filming site and helping to direct the desired scene well when filming begins.

“Jae-mok, did you get a cat to play? Is it okay not to worry about me?”

Assistant director Woo Jae-mok confidently answered Director Kim Jeong-nam’s question mixed with concern.

“Okay, Director. I have already commissioned all of them to a professional animal wrangler. He gave me a script and said he would train me according to the scene. I will bring it myself according to the shooting schedule.”

“yes. As you well know, cats are really important in our movie. To show the audience the twist that Sukjong, the bloodless iron-blooded monarch, is actually a cat fanatic.”
