I Was Possessed By An Unknown Manga

The tour of the drama set was a lot more fun than I thought.

It may be because it is a drama filmed by NHK, a public broadcasting station in Japan, but it seems that the capital invested in one drama is huge.

Not only the classrooms and hallways, but also the living room where the main character, the passionate teacher Agito, lives, and the students’ homes were made realistically.

I’ve heard that filming technology has improved so much these days, but I didn’t know that it was all set.

Of course, it was because I thought that I would have rented a similar place and filmed it.

When I went to the place where various props were piled up, the broadcast staff offered me a few touches to see if the director had already told me, but there were no rubber pipes, glass bottles made of sugar, or even a piece of wood that would break immediately if hit.

As I walked around the filming set, I could see the main actors and supporting actors of the drama performing in front of the camera.

Like a youth drama aired nationwide, the actors in the roles were only well-known idols, handsome and pretty actors, or skilled middle-aged actors.

From the uncle you’ve seen anywhere, the roles you’re playing are all the noble wife-type actresses, to the idols who are in full swing these days.

And it was Nao Minato who stood proudly among them.

“You don’t know me! So don’t act like you know everything!”

“Sato!”

A handsome actor who plays the role of a teacher who looks at Minato, who runs down the hallway with tears in his eyes, and his back.

“Cut! Very good!”

As the director wielded the script he was holding and gave the cut sign, Minato, who had run far away, ran up to him and asked with a smile.

“How was my performance?”

“Minato-san’s acting is always good~”

They’re pretty close, and they joke around with the actor who plays the role of Agito, a passionate teacher, and give and receive feedback.

Perhaps because they are good men and women, it seemed to become a painting from the point of view of the viewer.

Perhaps the director who has the video on camera will see it as well.

I watched the scene with my arms folded in an unobstructed position, and I checked the time on my smartphone when I heard a gurgling sound from the boat.

I looked around frantically, and it was already 2:00 PM.

If it were normal, it would have been time to eat already.

As I was looking around because I didn’t know how to make lunch here, a man who looked like a drama staff shouted at the director and the actors.

“The food truck is ready! Let’s all eat and eat!”

Then the filming site begins to remarkably come alive.

Whether it’s an actor or a staff member, you’ll be hungry since you’ve been skipping meals since morning and immersing yourself in the drama shooting.

I was observing the filming site from as far away as possible so as not to interfere with the filming of the drama, and I turned my gaze to the direction of the crowd.

There must be a food truck over there.

I will follow you, eat, and then go back to the waiting room.

Because I heard that the scene where I appeared as a minor was filmed in the afternoon.

***

The food truck was parked on the side of the empty lot outside the set.

Since many people have already come and lined up, it is literally crowded.

I moderately went and stood at the back of the procession.

Then, the curious eyes of the people around him began to pierce the back of his head at once.

“He’s a man who has been around the filming set since before.”

“I heard that the director casted a small role directly this time?”

“It’s not a joke. Didn’t you bring a real thug?”

“Look at the muscles you can see even when you’re dressed.”

“Isn’t my chest bigger than yours?”

“Hey! I want to die!”

Hearing those words, I unknowingly pulled up my collar.

Either way, the chatter of people coming from behind did not diminish.

I thought about what to do, and finally decided to say it.

“Would you please be a little quieter?”

As I said that, the moment I turned around, the people in the line behind me shut their mouths in a group.

As if you had made a promise.

It was only then that I was able to stop hearing the annoying noises, so I let out a light sigh and looked ahead.

‘Now I’m going to live.’

15 minutes from there.

As they chatted among themselves, the people in the back row didn’t say anything to me.

***

Babcha’s menu was basically buffet style.

Thanks to this, I was able to put as much food on the plate as I wanted, so I sat quietly by myself, looking for a place to eat, and found a table in a corner where no one was sitting.

After I went there and sat down, I heard a familiar voice as I was about to have a drink.

“Ah! Senpai! You’re here!”

“……”

Why can’t I even eat quietly?

When I turned my head slightly, the handsome actor I saw earlier was standing with a smiling face of Minato holding a plate.

Clearly, he is a male actor who plays the role of the hot-blooded teacher Agito, who is the main character of this drama.

“hello.”

As I said that and gently lowered my head, the actor asked with a sad smile.

“What’s your name?”

“My name is Kim Yoo-seong.”

“Hey, you look Korean?”

“Yes. I am a second-generation Korean-Japanese.”

After a brief exchange of greetings, when we tried to start eating again, the two naturally sat next to each other.

“Looking at the outfit, it looks like she’s appearing in the scene where Minato is being captured by thugs today?”

“Yes. I happened to appear as a minor actor.”

“Then, I think you’ll be working with me today, take care of each other!”

As he said that, he held out his right hand to me.

It seemed to mean shaking hands, so I accepted the handshake lightly.

Afterwards, the two talked about filming the drama while chatting about this and that.

Well, I didn’t even know it was me, so I just ate quietly.

As soon as he emptied the plate and tried to get out of the uncomfortable seat, Minato saw it and exclaimed.

“Huh? Senior? Have you already eaten?”

“I was a little hungry because I ate breakfast early.”

“Then let’s go together! I’m on a diet these days, so I don’t have much appetite.”

With that said, Minato tried to stand up with a plate that wasn’t even half eaten, but I declined, saying it was okay.

“You have to eat healthy food to be healthy. It looks like there is no place to remove it, so don’t overdo it and eat in moderation.”

Then Minato suddenly looked up at me with a moved expression.

“senior….”

I wondered if I was doing something wrong, and even after I spoke, I regretted it later, so I put my hat on and said.

“I’m going. Eat slowly.”

“Yes! I’ll definitely eat it all!”

I bowed my head to the male actor in the role of Agito, and headed towards the food truck to return the empty plate.

***

After lunch, I went back to the container and started waiting indefinitely.

After all, it was because I had seen everything that was worth seeing in the morning, and I noticed that I was walking around any longer.

The fortunate thing is that it wasn’t long before I was called to the staff.

“Today, the actors who took on the bad guys, please prepare!”

“yes!”

At the name of the staff, actors in black gakuran like me stood up one by one.

Unlike me, who wears a modified Gakuran that looks like something out of a bancho movie from the 80’s and 90’s, everyone else is just a normal Gakuran.

When I compared them directly like this, I felt that something was absurd, but I decided to think of it as an easy-to-understand distinction because it was the role of the rookie captain.

So, following the guidance of the staff, we headed to the filming site.

The filming location was like a dark warehouse, and there were drums all over the place, and inside, things like trees and newspapers were burning.

And colorful graffiti was painted on the wall, so it was a space that gave the impression of a badass hideout to anyone looking at it.

After waiting for a while, the actors, staff, and the director who seemed to have finished another filming came in one after the other.

Minato waved her hand as if pleased to see me, but due to the heavy atmosphere of the filming site, I exchanged greetings with a light nod of my head.

Soon, the filming staff came and started explaining the situation to each of the actors.

On the other hand, to me, the director personally approached me and said.

“Kim, just sitting still makes the mood go, so when filming starts, you sit in a box and lean against the wall, and then slowly get up when I give you a signal.”

“What do we do next?”

“Send me away when the windman is chatting, all you have to do is say one word.”

“…Okay. I’ll give it a try.”

After all the explanations are over, the drama shooting begins in earnest.

From https://readwn.com

Minato, who has been caught by the gangsters who are supposed to be the character’s subordinates, is thrown to the floor while tied to a rope.

“What are you doing! He’s my student!”

Eventually, when the other minor actors and the main character were grabbing each other’s necks and holding hands, the director gave a signal by waving the script in his hand.

Correspondingly, I got up very slowly from the wooden box with my right hand in my pants pocket.

And the moment everyone in the warehouse looked at me, I spit out just one word as the director requested.

“Send it.”
