Debut or Die

Episode 584: If you don’t debut, you’ll catch a disease that will kill you.

Bae Se-jin quietly looked down at the script in his hand.

Script for Season 2.

The script, which has already been read and recited dozens or hundreds of times, so that you can clearly picture it in your voice, is unfolded with all kinds of corrections and notes.

I didn’t do it alone.

‘…I received a lot of help.’

Until this was completed, there were members who would secretly come and interfere as long as they had the script.

He recalled Liu Chengwu’s words that started it all.

-I see. So, do you think it would be easier to plan if there was a counterpart role?

Receive lines from the script’s counterpart.

In the early days of his childhood, his mother did it for him occasionally, and after that he could do it on his own without anyone else….

However, instead of hanging up coldly and saying, ‘You are actually stealing my time,’ Bae Se-jin just let the members recite their lines.

It was a little embarrassing, but it was fun.

‘This… actually has nothing to do with group activities.’

This wasn’t a stage performance or song production, or at least it wasn’t idol Bae Se-jin’s solo activity.

Even though it was strictly actor Bae Se-jin’s personal work, the members’ interference was purely a matter of friendliness or favor.

-Well, hehe, if you say yes… thank you.

So he happily accepted the favor (even though he didn’t show it).

I thought that if I didn’t have enough time, I could just take a break later.

But it was unexpectedly helpful.

‘It wasn’t a waste of time.’

Hearing the thoughts of someone with a different way of thinking than my own allowed me to look at the script from a more diverse perspective.

It is a story that Bae Se-jin would not have known if he had read it alone, looking into and telling a story from a blind spot beyond his thoughts.

So Bae Se-jin slightly modified his interpretation of his role….

“Mr. Sejin.”

“…!”

Bae Se-jin suddenly woke up from his thoughts.

This is the filming location.

“It’s Sejin’s turn.”

“yes.”

He put down the script and stood up when the manager called him.

My eyes shined.

‘Let’s do it right.’

This is Seolsan Mountain, Gangwon-do.

Season 2. It was his first filming.

The role played by Bae Se-jin, Jeong Yi-sol.

He is a medical student with antisocial personality disorder and a psychopath who lacks empathy.

He is trapped in a strange high-rise building, and among people trying to escape, he carries out inhumane murders without hesitation, using food as an absolute value.

Even the main character was killed without any hesitation.

However, what Jeong Yi-sol failed to calculate is that the moment the protagonist dies, he returns to the past, to the beginning of the play.

So, the moment season 2 starts.

-Heo Eok,

The protagonist, who returns to the past, kills Jeong Yi-sol as soon as he meets her.

Bae Se-jin has already filmed that scene. This is thanks to the fact that during the filming of Season 1, we had already filmed up to that point in order to connect the actors’ emotions.

So, in Season 2, it is easy to think that he, who played the already dead Jeong Yi-sol, will not appear much in the drama, but…

In fact, Bae Se-jin’s role does not end there.

widely.

A signal to start filming.

The moment the short sound of the slate stops, I forget my filming equipment.

….

Jeong Yi-sol opened her mouth.

“hi.”

“…!”

He is peacefully crossing his legs on the simple chair he is sitting on.

In his hand was a medical questionnaire held by a clip, and he was wearing a white robe.

What we face is the main character of this play.

And this place where they are…

Whiuuuuu….

It is a desolate snowy mountain with endless white snow and cold winds.

The protagonist asks with a trembling voice.

“what’s this.”

Jeong Yi-sol answers casually.

“Your image.”

“….”

Yes.

This Jeong Yi-sol is not a real character in the play.

When the main character faints, falls asleep, or is pushed into an extreme situation. In other words, it was the protagonist’s delusion that appeared in his head when he was unconscious.

“Why are you here!”

“Maybe I am your trauma. Other than that, I can’t use any proper terminology. “Because I am a product of your imagination.”

So, the two people sit facing each other on simple chairs in the bleak snowy mountain landscape of midwinter.

It’s like receiving psychological counseling.

And it evaluates the protagonist’s actions one by one and reveals his hidden thoughts.

-It was a hasty decision to bring in Myunghee Lee as a colleague. He died at a convenience store last time, but will he survive longer this time?

-Burns to lower abdomen, penetrating wound to right shoulder, fracture to left ankle. You need a real doctor now, not a psychologist.

-You left Myunghee Lee at the security room. There is no difference between your choice and the choice I made.

The imagined landscape is not always a snowy mountain. The main character sees hallucinations even in reality. In that case, he will sit right next to you and have a conversation.

Sometimes it causes pain, sometimes it brings calm, and sometimes… surprisingly, it brings comfort.

-…Even if I had chosen the other side, the situation wouldn’t have been any better.

However, the meaning of all words changes depending on the tone.

In fact, Bae Se-jin planned to embody this imaginary character with a more aggressive and evil feel than the original Jeong Yi-sol.

‘It’s even more so because it’s my imagination.’

This is because I thought it would be natural for Jeong Yi-sol to be depicted as a more fearful and scary person, as it was in the head of the main character who was directly murdered.

However, when rehearsing the script for this part, the opinions expressed by the members who were in charge of the lines for the protagonist, who was playing the opposite role, were slightly different.

Bae Se-jin, who was interested in that, asked each person’s opinion more seriously.

To one person in particular.

-Well, well… then. Just my opinion,

Seon Ah-hyun.

Starting from the album, he was playing a somewhat mysterious and eerie figure in the group’s worldview.

Somewhere like Jeong Yi-sol.

Maybe that’s why I thought more deeply about the psychological state of the main character and Jeong Yi-sol.

-If this character is the protagonist’s imagination… wouldn’t he be more human? I think that wish, ‘If Jeong Yi-sol was a good person’, would have been reflected… More than anything…

One final word.

-Well, the main character… killed Jeong Yi-sol.

-…!

-I don’t think there was any guilt. Because the main character is a good person…

Bae Se-jin thought quite deeply.

And in response to his agony, Park Mun-dae gave simple advice.

-Either way, if your brother plays it, there will be enough probability. Because my brother is an expert.

-But if I had to ask,…

Opinions from different angles.

-I think people will like it better.

-ah…!

It’s fun to see that Jeong Yi-sol is a bit more friendly!

This is what the viewer sees from outside the play.

-…good. thank you.

That’s why Jeong Yi-sol appears like this in the protagonist’s mental world.

It tells a cold and cruel story, but makes it seem slightly shaken by the protagonist’s pain.

As time goes on, the viewer becomes slightly more curious or confused as to whether he is being kind or not.

‘For me too, this episode is more fun to act in…’

In fact, a character like Jeong Yi-sol, who only focuses on survival efficiency without any empathy, was not Bae Se-jin’s taste at all.

So, it seems like he is regaining some sympathy and sympathy for the main character… A subtle change in Jeong Yi-sol in this world of images.

‘Even though it is a fake imagined by the protagonist.’

I was kind of looking forward to acting in this.

Jeong Yi-sol, created through the heart of Bae Se-jin.

He now raised his head and looked at the protagonist who was still in a state of panic.

“My imagination? Dream… Is this a dream?”

“Think whatever you want. now….”

Jeong Yi-sol pressed the ballpoint pen.

“It’s time to wake up.”

“ah….”

The main character fell down on the snow.

Jeong Yi-sol did not pay attention.

Cut!!

In that way, Bae Se-jin’s first scene of this season was completely OK.

“Oh, I love it! Especially here, it’s best not to pay attention. Strangely, I really like it aesthetically.”

The director muttered in satisfaction, and those around him happily organized their filming equipment.

Even in the filming that took place afterward, Bae Se-jin never once received an NG sign.

However, everyone involved on set realized this.

Bae Se-jin did not pour in ad-libs that were not in the script.

However, in the tone of voice, movement, and gaze… room was being given to Jeong Yi-sol’s acting.

Client.

towards the protagonist.

“…Our Lee Sol’s character is changing little by little?”

“yes. …I think that’s more attractive.”

“Uh oh. that’s right. Just do it. “Do what Mr. Sejin thought.”

The director immediately confirmed.

Despite his meticulous character composition and excellence in capturing delicate moments, on set he is impressed and tongue-tied, but not shocked.

Surprise occurs when something unexpected happens. That’s for people with a bad reputation.

However, when a person who was originally crazy good performs crazy good again, instead of surprise, one more layer of trust is built up.

‘A true genius is a genius.’

like this.

“It was really… really good.”

“…thank you.”

After filming. Bae Se-jin accepted a warm decaf Americano and knew what was filmed before even watching it.

‘…You must have done well.’

A soft and tight feeling of satisfaction bloomed in my heart.

After such faithful filming.

“Sejin senior!”

“…Ah yes.”

“Today, we went to a good restaurant in Gangwon-do and had a company dinner… It’s a pity you couldn’t come, really. “I heard you have a schedule.”

The actor playing the main character asked in a sociable and humorous manner.

Bae Se-jin answered a little awkwardly, but quite forcefully.

“Yes… there is a group photo shoot nearby. “I can’t help it because I will join right away.”

“Ah… Wow, then I guess the Testa people are nearby right now?”

“yes.”

If it had been Bae Se-jin before, he would have looked at me in shock and wondered why he was talking to me with a face like, ‘What are your intentions?’ But that’s not the case anymore.

On the contrary, he was a little excited at the thought that he had successfully timed it well, and didn’t he enjoy light small talk with the other actors until the manager arrived?

“Hey, can I get Ryu Cheong-woo’s autograph? “I’ve been a fan of him since he was a member of the national team…”

“…I’ll go and ask right away today.”

“Oh, thank you!”

Bae Se-jin was satisfied with her improved sociability.

And when I glanced, I saw the manager coming from over there.

‘Finally moving…’

But the manager was not alone.

He and a production company employee were having a conversation.

And when he makes eye contact with Bae Se-jin, he smiles and says,

“Sejin, wait a minute.”

“…?”

“We had this conversation…”

So, after hearing some unexpected news, Bae Se-jin quickly headed to the mountain cabin, which was 20 minutes away!

My heart was pounding.

‘Everyone is probably taking pictures in advance!’

What happened in the half a day he was gone?

Maybe he had already narrowly voted for three or four candidates, such as CM Song.

Bae Se-jin actually realized that he did not contribute much to the team’s composition….

‘…But still, if only there was a little bit of lyric writing!’

Everyone will be happy if you participate diligently from now on and tell them that your advice was a great help to the filming….

Thinking like that, he started walking excitedly as soon as he got out of the car.

however.

“…What is that you…?”

In the yard, I meet Park Mun-dae, his face covered in soot and scruffy!

* * *

“A lot has happened.”

“….”

Park Moon-dae guided Bae Se-jin into the mountain cabin. At the same time, he is moving around while looking around, as if he is on guard for fear that the production crew will jump out from somewhere.

There is so much tension and resignation in one’s body that one would think it has been about a week since the outbreak of the zombie outbreak.

‘Well, what is it?’

“What’s going on?”

“Something… happened.”

It was simple.

Here, Testa received all food, clothing, and shelter, and was not only comfortable and happy about making CM songs.

“Well, now that I know, I have to live my life on my own….”

“….”

Let’s do our own work!

“But they said that every time a CM song is passed, they will give us pocket money and let us go out into the city… Until then, they say we will be caught like a thief.”

“….”

Well, they say it was okay up to that point. Whether it was cooking, cleaning, or any hard work, everyone did it pretty well.

It wasn’t difficult to compose music while living a simple, natural life.

but….

“It wasn’t up to us to do that job.”

Through the game led by the production team, lots were drawn and roles were distributed according to each person’s rank.

And the result is….

“Seon Ah-hyun cooks…?”

“….”

“Park Moon-dae… chopping firewood?”

So it happened.

Bae Se-jin broke into a cold sweat.

In the meantime, Park Mun-dae showed off what he was carefully hiding behind his work gloves.

Foil oozing soot.

“I’m sneaking out to get some roasted sweet potatoes. “The production crew hasn’t found out yet.”

“…You’re talking to a camera right now?!”

“I bought everything.”

The camera directors gave their thumbs up. It was the power of wood-fired roasted sweet potatoes.

“….”

Bae Se-jin was speechless for a moment!

But he couldn’t lose for long.

“All of the other members.”

“It’s a hunting team.”

“…?”

“Cha Yu-jin, Lee Se-jin, and Ryu Cheong-woo. These three are a hunting team. “For now, you just need to know that.”

Park Mun-dae took another step.

Bae Se-jin is in confusion!

Buy, hunt?

No, in the first place.

“What about composition?”

“We haven’t even started yet.”

Bae Se-jin was shocked by those words for a moment, but when he heard the word composition, one of the members immediately came to mind.

One person who still hasn’t come out of Park Moon-dae’s mouth!

The man who produced each of Testa’s albums!

“So, what about Raebin Kim? Ravin composed the music….”

“It’s radish radish kimchi.”

“…??”

Moon-Dae Park explained.

“Because I’m the youngest, it’s called kkakdugi.”

“….”

“It’s a role where you don’t have to do anything.”

Raebin Kim sealed!

“Well, then who composes the music?”

“Brother.”

“….”

Me?

“yes. My brother. “The remaining swallows were the main producers.”

Bae Se-jin froze in his sudden position.

Park Mun-dae, who was tired from chopping firewood in the furnace attached to the snowy mountain, said solemnly as he held out a roasted sweet potato.

“If you understand, let’s get started. I’m currently 3 songs behind… but he said if he starts, everyone can participate. Oh, except Ravin.”

“….”

“I have to finish one song sketch today in order to meet the labor quota… no, I think I can meet the deadline.”

Bae Se-jin hesitated, unable to accept the roasted sweet potatoes, and eventually opened his mouth, feeling like he wanted to close his eyes.

“Hey… it’s not 3 songs.”

“…?”

“Four songs.”

Bae Se-jin avoided his eyes.

Recalling what the production company employee said earlier.

“Wow, our drama production company said it would be fun and requested an additional auction from the production team… and added PPL.”

“….”

Testa labor list updated.

CM song… no, OST added.
