228 Becoming a Ghos (1/2)
Several hours later.
”—Cut!”
The director looked over at the actors with a satisfied grin.
The morning filming went on smoothly, and he felt as if he could finish all the allotted scenes in one day. Even Yeo Ri, the rookie, had performed very well, he thought. She didn't need much direction and did exactly as he envisioned her character.
Although this was the first time the other actors worked with Yeo Ri, they, too, thought that she acted well and had already reached their level, therefore, after warming up to her through the long morning filming period, they treated her amicably.
”Great work, everyone. Let's take a break first, and we'll continue filming in half an hour or so.”
At the director's words, everyone relaxed as the first part of the day's filming had ended. All the actors and crew members were given a break while the director and screenwriter discussed the storyboard for the next scene together.
The filming for the first part had gone smoothly, and though they had to do several takes for each scene to get different angles, everyone was more or less satisfied with the performance.
”Good work, Miss Yeo Ri. To be able to act so well at your age, you must be a natural,” praised the actress, Go Se Rin, who played the heroine. She smiled and patted the younger girl's back encouragingly.
Yeo Ri's cheeks flushed from the praise. Yet another professional had praised her acting. So she was really that good? Yeo Ri didn't think she had done anything special; she only did as the script and director instructed.
Fidgeting, she accepted the praise with a flustered ”thank you,” and a bow.
”How cute!” The actor and actress playing the main hero and heroine couldn't help but tease her. Yeo Ri was much younger than them, and in their eyes she was just a little kid, so they felt as if they had to take care of her. After filming together for a few hours, they had gotten to know and like this pretty little rookie.
After chatting with the leads for a while, Yeo Ri finally excused herself and went to take her break.
She walked over to a group of girls wearing the same school uniform as she was. The break finally gave Yeo Ri the chance to get to know her co-workers; the supporting actresses who would be acting as her friends and classmates for the backstory part of the episode. There was even one person among them whom she had recognised as a fairly famous supporting role actress who had already acted in several successful dramas.
”Hello, please take care of me.”
As Park Soo Yeon had instructed her, Yeo Ri gave her greetings to everyone.
”Hello!”
