"Is there a line like that in the script?" the man next to Haruki asked.
Haruki shook his head, appearing to be in awe. He knew that June was a great actor based on what he had seen in King of Kings. However, even then, it appeared like he was acting.
The June he was seeing now felt genuinely evil—like he wasn't acting at all. Haruki pursed his lips, wanting to take back what he had said just moments ago.
There was no wonder that June was a hundred times better at acting than him.
The other applicants also felt strange. At one point, it really did feel like June wasn't acting. More so than that, he added some impromptu lines here and there based on what he felt during the scene.
"That was strangely good."
"Yeah, it was different from most of our interpretations."
"He said his lines calmly instead of angrily."
"I don't know how to feel about it, though. It seems very good in its own light. However, isn't Yian an angry character?"
June stood back up, waiting for the comments of the panel about his acting.
Last night, he wondered how he could act out the particular scene. Since they were only given one part of the script, it was hard to gauge Yian's character. At first, he also thought of portraying him as a petty character with a lot of anger embedded in his heart.
However, as June read Yian's character description, he felt like he was a much deeper character. His family was killed by the male lead's clan, and he made a pact to take everything away from the male lead. It was a pretty cliche antagonist plot, which was why most people tried portraying him in such an angry light.
Yet, June wanted to show the panel that Yian wasn't an ordinary villain.
Hana also didn't expect his interpretation of the character. At first, she really wanted June to be the main villain of the movie since she knew his talent for acting out cold and cunning characters.
However, the Yian he portrayed just now was on another level. It almost seemed like he was the main character of the movie.
"So, what do you guys think?" Hana asked the panel, wanting to know their opinion, too.
"Moreover, your portrayal of the character is completely different from what I imagined. Yian is a villain—he's supposed to be unlikeable. People don't like a likable enemy because it makes it harder to empathize with the main leads."
June frowned in confusion.
Everything that was coming out of Director Bong's mouth was utter bullshit.
He had such a 1900s mindset, not even knowing that people love to see unexpected twists in different characters these days.
It was no wonder that he hadn't achieved a great-performing movie for the past ten years.
If this was the director's mindset, then June wondered if he wanted to become a part of the production after all.
Hana pursed her lips in disappointment, also not agreeing with Director Bong's words. Not only were his statements filled with flaws, but the way they said them also felt like he was disrespecting June as a person.
The room was silent as they let Director Bong's words sink into their minds.
Surprisingly, June wasn't offended. How could he be offended when Director Bong's wig was moving around on his head as he spoke?
What stuck out to him was the proud look on Lin Zhi's face.
He was staring at Director Bong with sparkling eyes, and that was when June realized that something was wrong.
June had been observing the two of them since the start of the auditions, and they had been exchanging weird glances here and there—almost like they knew each other beforehand.
June scoffed and shook his head as he walked back to his seat.
It was strange that Director Bong was able to afford such a huge house with his hit-or-miss types of movies.
However, June now understood where Director Bong might be getting this amount of money.
It was money exchanged under the table.
