Musical 「Deyan Dor」 (2)

Unlike Kim Joo-hyung, who watched the stage with his mouth open from the side, he began to focus on the script in earnest.

With this singing ability, there will be no chance to do a musical in the future, so this is the first and last chance to do “Deyan Dor”.

If so, it is best to pour everything into this one scene and act without regrets.

‘Here, a strong emphasis is given to this part…, and the version I saw in France was impressive.’

‘It would be better to hit this line in half a beat as quickly as we saw in Austria.’

While imagining the scene in which he appeared in his head, he thought of numerous versions of “Deyan Dor” that he had seen in various countries so far.

From various versions of famous actors, little by little, he drew strengths and began to attach more parts to his acting and cut out unnecessary parts.

Shane Dillinger’s father was hit by a car, shot and killed in front of his son by an opposition group.

Growing up, Shane slaughtered all the opposition groups and took over the dark streets of Detroit, but he feared that the loss of his revenge was as if he had lost the power of life.

Naturally, he began to think negatively about the development of technologies such as cars and guns that killed his father, and he began to hate the military and industrial factories that started to appear in the United States in the 1930s.

On the other hand, my younger brother Jane is just a girl with a lot of dreams and the world that changes day by day is interesting and enjoyable.

Then, he falls in love with ‘Ezel’, a young man who manages the workers at an automobile factory, and conflicts between his brother and the man he loves.

The role that Yeon-woo will play for a while is the representative of manual factory workers, that is, the blue-collar chief ‘Ezel’.

The scene in which Ezel and Shane clash violently with each other’s beliefs is a musical, but it is a part that goes on without a song for more than 5 minutes without a song.

The troupe, who practiced until the previous scene, took a break for a while.

clap clap!

Wheeik!

Kim Joo-hyung, who was watching with his mouth wide open, gave a big applause, and manager Kim Min-soo blew a whistle next to him.

And from the stage, Jin Yu-han, who had just been ‘Shane’, came down and talked to Yeon-woo.

“How are you, Yeonwoo? Did you understand the lines?”

“Yeah. I’m familiar with the lines. Dongseon has seen the original version of this musical, can I do it according to that?”

It’s not a very difficult route. There is one point where Ezel and Shane become close to each other as if they are grabbing each other by the collar.

“That’s right. The line is the same as the original.”

Jin Yu-han nodded and looked at the stage with a look of anticipation.

In fact, the expectation is the same for Yeonwoo.

Since it has been my favorite musical since my previous life, maybe no one in this troupe has seen this musical more than Yeonwoo.

“Then shall I prepare?”

Yeonwoo got up from her seat.

***

Jung In-chan is a musical actor with 6 years of experience.

When Jin Yu-han first came to the troupe he was participating in, it was just amazing.

Jeong In-chan looked at a young actor who was popular these days and nodded at his handsome appearance.

‘It has to be like that to be eaten in the positive stage.’

When I heard that Jin Yu-han had been chosen as one of the leading roles, I had some resentment, but there are so many things like that these days, so I also had high expectations.

Actually, it is not the expectation of stage acting, but the expectation of how much publicity it will be.

‘The level of a musical would be completely different from a positive drama, let’s see where and how much.’

Again, starting with vocalizations that don’t match the tone of the musical, getting used to in front of the camera and making gestures that are too small to show on stage.

‘After all, camera acting doesn’t work here.’

They all make a living because of their looks. I thought that true acting comes only when you perform directly on stage.

‘But this isn’t even funny.’

It was good until Ryu Yeon-woo visited to support Jin Yu-han.

I also bought delicious food, and I know that it will be helpful for the making filming that is still going on.

Even if it’s a practice stage, you’re going to put Ryu Yeon-woo on the stage all of a sudden?

In my opinion, this is never an emotion like ‘jealousy’.

Rather, it is a ‘worry’ as a benevolent senior.

“Ryu Yeon-woo, musicals, and especially this scene, is not a scene that can be done with an ad-lib. Still, it’s just a practice match and it’s just for fun, so why don’t you pick up a script and read it?”

He looked at Ryu on stage with a displeased face and gave ‘advice as a senior’, but Ryu quietly shook his head.

“I’ll do my best not to cause trouble. I memorized the lines hard while practicing for the first part.”

Hearing Ryu Yeon-woo’s words, Jeong In-chan’s expression hardened.

‘···Ha, young is cocky, isn’t it? You should be able to listen to what your seniors say. So, if you succeed at a young age, that’s a problem. You know you can do anything.’

Among the members of the musical, I could see quite a few colleagues with smiles on their faces that thought they were similar to themselves.

‘Hey, it’s so much fun to see a young actor being humiliated. They’re really badass guys. What was Jin Yu-han thinking when he made this suggestion to a friend who came to cheer him on?’

In fact, most of the laughter stemmed from the expectation of being able to see the acting of Ryu Yeon-woo and Jin Yu-han in person, but when he started to look at everything in a negative way, everything seemed twisted in In-chan’s eyes.

Jeong In-chan climbed onto the dimly lit stage, convinced that Ryu Yeon-woo was limping or that even if he memorized the lines well, he had no stage experience, so he would only read the lines and not be able to perform the role properly.

I sat in front of the marker on the stage shining in fluorescent color and waited for the stage to start.

A low-pitched trombone sound that creates tension resounded, and a spotlight fell on Yeonwoo, who was five steps away from Jin Yu-han.

Tak-.

“What’s the fuss now? Who are you!”

At the first word, the actors on the stage flinched.

‘It went right in. As if he knew when the trombone would stop.’

Yeon-woo took another big step forward and continued the dialogue.

“Didn’t you hear me? Who are you and do you come to the factory to do business?”

“A dog covered in dirty charcoal soot is talkative. Who am I? I am Shane Dillinger of Detroit.”

When Jin Yu-han said his name, the other actors cringed.

“…Hey Colson. Did I just say Shane? Could it be that Shane?”

“Shhhh! James. Be careful with your mouth. If you catch your eye, you’re likely to get hit.”

In contrast to the actors who murmur and naturally take a step back and bend over at the appearance of the mafia boss who dominates the dark district of Detroit, Yeonwoo stretches out her body and moves forward one step further.

Kim Joo-hyung, who was watching from the audience, also sensed that Yeon-woo’s acting was different from other musical actors.

‘…Ah, that’s why it looked a little small at first, didn’t it? You were bending over on purpose. To be able to sharpen your presence by contrasting in this scene.’

When he appeared while writing his first line, I was wondering if there was a reason for this, because Yeonwoo, who is over 180cm tall, looked dwarfed compared to the actors around him.

‘Yeonwoo, do you all have plans?’

Joohyung nodded and Yeonwoo spit out the lines again.

“Shane Dillinger? You’re going to use a common name. I’m Ezel.”

Unlike others who cringe just by hearing his name, Shane felt a bit of interest as he took a step forward with a confident expression and looked down at the man in front of him asking for a handshake. He laughed exaggeratedly at the one-day puppy he didn’t know.

“Ezel. That’s funny. I’m going to kill you all today and blow up the factory.”

“I thought Shane Dillinger was Italian, but he was German. They’re allies anyway, right?”

The sarcastic sound made the men behind Shane flinch as if they were about to run away, and Shane raised his hand to stop them.

“Italy? Germany? What do you mean? I’m American.”

“I thought I was mimicking the Italian Mafia because I took these big guys and secretly sold alcohol with the money I got from behind the scenes, so I thought they were mimicking the Italian mafia. What makes me different from anyone?”

The actors on the stage admired Yeonwoo, who digested long and complicated lines with perfect vocalization and showed off facial expressions in a leisurely manner.

And Kim Joo-hyung, who looked at him as if analyzing from the audience, was also surprised.

‘… something is different. It’s different from any other actors’ performances I’ve seen in part one practice. What’s different?’

Kim Joo-hyung, who is a self-proclaimed film fanatic and has become accustomed to watching while analyzing anything while working in a club, is definitely different, but he can’t figure out what it is, so he wraps his head around it.

‘ah! okay. If other actors feel like they’ve adapted the Korean version, I think Yeonwoo’s original version is automatically translated and can be heard. How can you do the same in Korean?’

On the other hand, Jin Yu-han felt the same as Kim Joo-hyung felt.

I felt a sense of incongruity that I did not know what was different from the usual practice in the position of facing each other in front of my eyes.

‘…is the accent different? It feels like something dynamic and sticky. How are you doing?’

Unlike Korean language, which has an even and flat tone, each line that Yeonwoo utters has a distinct emphasis.

It was natural.

By referring to numerous top-level musical actors who performed “Deyan Dor” in their own language in various countries around the world, Yeon-woo picked out good accents for each line, gathered them together and carved them well, so the lines could not help but stick to your mouth.

“You’re telling a funny story. The reason I’m here today is to get rid of all the mustache German guys you’re talking about. The things you guys make, like cars, tanks, and guns, make this society sick. to be.”

Yeon-woo’s eyes lit up as he watched Jin Yu-han spit out lines like he was chewing.

Yeon-woo’s Ezel, taking a light step forward and spreading both hands, gathers attention to herself as if eloquently.

“Is it the knife or the one who wields the knife to harm the neighbor with a knife? Does not a person die when all the knives in the world are removed? So, what do you shave your mustache with at the barber shop, and what are the ingredients for the stew you ate this morning?”

“It’s sophistry. Swords and tanks are different. These iron balls you guys make. They serve to alleviate people’s guilt.”

Tang-.

About-.

Shane’s eyes gleamed with madness, shooting into the air.

“You can kill a person with just one lift of a finger. You don’t have to experience the terrible taste of a knife swinging through flesh and cutting a knife against a bone.”

Ezel takes a step forward and shouts with an angry expression at the factory workers who sit down and cover their ears, frightened by the gunshot.

“Is this your definition of justice?”

“Justice? I don’t have such a grand reason. I just need something to avenge my father.”

At the beginning of the act, Ezel was five steps away from Shane.

One step after the trombone sound stopped.

Take a step with your shoulders straight as others retreat.

A walk that seems to be asking for a handshake while chanting a common name.

One step, spreading both hands eloquently.

And finally, a rough step with an angry expression.

Neither the audience nor Shane recognized, Ezel, who reached her nose, quickly grabbed the pistol she was holding and aimed it at his head.

“Hey hunks. If you don’t want vents on the boss’s head, get out of this factory right now.”

The charisma felt on stage left a moment of silence.

The actors were overwhelmed by the breath and atmosphere of the lines that were clearly different, even though it was a part they practiced every day.

‘···What is this? Wasn’t it a scene that could drive you through this kind of breathing?’

‘I feel like my body is shivering. Is it true that the power to take over the stage is really felt in that young actor?’

Then, as the silence grew longer, everyone looked at one person.

Jeong In-chan, who was dissatisfied with Yeon-woo going up on the stage, was also stiff.

“Jeong In-chan! I have to type the lines.”

I was startled by the old senior’s bad command and opened my mouth.

“…Yes, what are you doing?”

Jung In-chan was embarrassed and for a moment his head went blank, and he couldn’t remember the back lines.

‘Miss, I’m crazy! What was it?’

Then Yeon-woo muttered a little.

“You dare to command the brothers in Detroit?”

“Ah! You dare command the brothers in Detroit!”

Jeong In-chan had a smile on his face for a moment because of the relief that he had overcome the crisis, but then quickly turned into a face that was bitten by insects.

‘damn!’

Before the start of the stage, he told Yeonwoo to do it because he probably didn’t even know the script, but with Yeonwoo’s help, he barely managed to write this short line. There was no such humiliation.

The other actors were once again amazed in their hearts as they saw it.

‘It must have been difficult to memorize your own lines, did you understand all the lines of others…?’

On the other hand, it was not only the actors on stage who were surprised.

Kim Joo-hyung watched the practice from the audience and got goosebumps on his back at every moment.

‘···This is acting.’

After seeing Yeon-woo’s acting with his own eyes, it was only then that he seemed to know what he had been longing for.

‘This is what I wanted to do.’

Of course, I don’t dream of becoming an actor. I can’t even imagine that, and even though I can’t act, I know how to look in the mirror.

At first, I started studying “Summer Wardrobe” all night in high school to feel free after studying for the SAT.

Then, I even joined a club because of the movies that I gradually fell in love with.

However, watching the stage today, I felt a strong desire.

‘I want to write a play script. I want to write lines that feel alive.’

It was the moment when the playwright, who will someday be double-casting Ryu Yeon-woo and Jin Yu-han in the not-too-distant future, confirmed his aspirations for the first time.
