1. Picky scrutiny: The "related households" of the crew have aroused heated discussions
With the arrival of blazing summer, the mild sunlight penetrated the makeshift crew shed at the mouth of the river, adding a touch of brightness and vitality to this busy and orderly environment. In this busy and energetic group, a dark-skinned, ordinary-looking young man attracts a lot of attention.
His name is Jeon Won-woo, and he is a newcomer actor who has just made his mark, and can only play the role of a passerby or a mass in the play.
Whenever he hurried past in the form of an inconspicuous passerby, there was always a whisper behind him. "I heard that he entered the crew through 'connections'?" "Which one? is that ordinary-looking young man."
"It's puzzling that he didn't even get any official roles, so why could he still be here?".
Jeon Wonwoo lowered his head, silently bearing the gossip of the crowd around him, his eyes were gloomy, but they revealed a determined light. He knows that as a "relational household", his status in the crew is destined to be incomparable to others, but he still sticks to it, looking forward to a turn of fate one day.
2. The starting point ten years ago: the seeds of dreams quietly germinated
Time goes back to that scorching summer day more than ten years ago, when Quan Yuanyou was still a childish teenager, full of endless curiosity and longing for the profession of actor.
He often sat in front of the TV, obsessively watching the performances of those superb actors, and silently prayed in his heart that one day he would be able to stand on such a bright stage.
And Jeon Wonwoo's father is a screenwriter in the crew of "Parents Love", and he has a pivotal position in the crew. By chance, the father noticed his son's love for the profession of an actor.
So, under the careful arrangement of his father, the young Jeon Wonwoo was fortunate to step into the door of the crew for the first time.
At first, the crew just asked Jeon Wonwoo to gain experience in some insignificant passerby or mass roles. However, even if it is only a few brief shots, he will put his heart and soul into it, carefully interpreting every detail, lest any mistakes be made.
Even though it's only a small character, Jeon Won-woo goes all out to shape it and try to bring it to life. Every time he saw his figure flash on the screen, he felt extremely excited, as if it was the most glorious moment of his life.
The father quietly watched his son's efforts, his heart full of appreciation.
As a result, Quan Yuanyou stepped into the field of film and television for the first time under the impetus of his father's network resources, and thus began his long career of going deep into the crew and playing all kinds of small roles with his heart.
Third, there is a huge disparity between high and low
Although the father and son were involved in the production of the TV series, their status in the crew was very different.
Jeon Wonwoo's father, as one of the main screenwriters of the show, has a pivotal position in the crew. He had to be consulted on important matters such as the revision of the script and the arrangement of the scenes, and the director and other staff members respected him.
Therefore, my father can not only get a reasonable allocation of scenes, but also give guidance to the actors on the shooting site and provide professional guidance and advice.
In stark contrast, Jeon Wonwoo, as a rookie of "related households", has a negligible status. The crew did not give him any professional roles and lines, he could only be arranged to play some inconsequential passers-by, rushing by in front of the camera, and completely became a "tricky" role.
Despite the disparity in status, the way the father and son get along with each other in the crew is unique. His father would often comment on Jeon Wonwoo's performance in nuance, and even occasionally criticize a few words.
As a son, Quan Yuanyou may be dissatisfied in his heart, but on the surface, he always maintains an open-minded and studious attitude, and greets his father's teachings with a smile.
Fourth, stick to it day after day
In this way, year after year, day after day, Jeon Wonwoo has always stuck to this crew in obscurity. After more than ten years of spring and autumn, he is like a background board that exists forever but no one pays attention to in film and television dramas, as a reliable landscape, active in every shooting scene.
The rest of the crew is also accustomed to Jeon Wonwoo's presence. Sometimes when directors need to temporarily add a passerby or mass character, the first thing they think of is Jeon Wonwoo.
Because everyone understands that although Jeon Wonwoo's chances are slim, he treats every role extremely seriously and responsibly, and there will never be any mistakes.
Despite being in such a small situation, Jeon Wonwoo never complained. On the contrary, whenever he gets the opportunity to perform in a small role, he will cherish it as if he had received it.
He conducted in-depth analysis and research on the subtleties of the script, digging deep into the personality characteristics of each character and the story behind it, and placing himself in that inconspicuous little character to feel his inner world.
In order to seize this slight opportunity, Jeon Wonwoo did his best and made hard efforts that ordinary people could not imagine. He constantly simulates all kinds of possible scenarios at home, rehearsing the movements and lines of the minor characters over and over again.
Even if it's just a few seconds of footage, he doesn't let up and strives to be flawless, lest his performance be overlooked.
Quan Yuanyou's father looked at his son's dedication from the sidelines, and a trace of regret couldn't help but emerge in his heart.
5. Unexpected turnarounds
Just when everyone thought that Jeon Wonwoo was destined to spend time in obscurity in this industry, an unexpected turning point quietly came.
It was on the set of an important scene. The actor who was supposed to play a small role was unable to attend for some reason, and the director was in a predicament, and when he was hesitating, he inadvertently saw Jeon Wonwoo standing in the crowd.
"Yo, how about you try this role?" the director suddenly proposed. Jeon Wonwoo was stunned for a moment, and then his blood boiled, and his face was full of excitement.
He accepted the challenge without hesitation and immediately threw himself into preparation. Jeon Wonwoo studied the script in depth, figuring out the inner world of the characters with his heart, and rehearsing his lines and actions with the staff again and again until he reached the point of obsession and madness.
Even the other actors who usually treat him coldly and indifferently had to treat him differently this time.
The father watched his son as if he was facing a great enemy, and he couldn't help but feel emotional.
Sixth, finally recognized
In this way, Jeon Wonwoo made unprecedented efforts for this small role. He re-studied the script, trying to figure out the inner world of the characters, sometimes with tears streaming down his face, sometimes laughing and rehearsing his lines.
For the sake of the blurry footage, he also had to work hard to interpret it with 200% effort.
Even his father, who has always been cold and indifferent to his son, was deeply moved by Jeon Wonwoo's perseverance this time.
Finally, the day of filming came. Jeon Wonwoo's originally inconspicuous figure looked even thinner in the sun. However, the moment he stepped onto the shooting location, everyone held their breath and focused their eyes on him.
"Ready, power on!" With the director's shout, Jeon Wonwoo instantly devoted himself to the inner world of the character, as if he had become the vivid little person himself, so that everyone present was involuntarily brought into it, and deeply experienced the sense of closeness beyond expectations and the extremely realistic sense of substitution.
The audience couldn't help but marvel at Jeon Wonwoo's extraordinary acting skills, including those peers who once disdained him, and they had to admit that Jeon Wonwoo's performance was really eye-catching and captivating.
The director still can't forget that scene, and when he saw Jeon Wonwoo's gradually enlarged figure in front of the camera, an indescribable excitement surged in his heart.
At that moment, everyone suddenly realized that the originally inconspicuous little role of soy sauce was shining brightly in the center of the stage, like a shining pearl! Even Jeon Wonwoo's father finally showed a gratifying smile.
Since then, Jeon Wonwoo's acting career has been reborn, and opportunities have been pouring in to him. People no longer regard him as a "relation", but praise him as a "powerful actor".
A pearl hidden in the darkness, it has finally received the attention it deserves on this stage, exuding its unique brilliance.
And all this is inseparable from the unremitting efforts and firm belief of Quan Yuanyou for more than ten years.
