Cut!

Damn!

Come on, that looked too fake.

How could you fall before he hits you?

Then, Sung-min.

Your punches need to be closer

for it to look real.

Don't punch the air.

You need to aim accurately.

Do it more realistically.

- Sound!

- Speed.

Camera!

Action!

Cut!

Are you okay?

God damn!

Sorry, I got too absorbed into it.

Let's do it again.

Ready!

Try to be careful.

Action!

Cut!

Are you okay?

Soo-ta, what's wrong?

Are you okay?

I must've been too nervous.

Let's not screw up this take.

- Let's go again.

- Okay.

Sorry, but don't get upset

whether you get hit once or twice.

Step aside!

You'll lose weight if you keep this up.

For the sake of this movie,

nothing's a waste to me.

Doesn't seem so wasteful to me.

It's not even your shoot today,

so why are you here?

Mi-na, do you like me by any chance?

Ready.

Don't mind the director.

Just don't overdo it.

I'm sorry.

Action!

I told you not to overdo it!

Yes, I like the expression.

Is it that hard not to overdo it?

Don't you know what overdo means?

Hurry up!

Save him!

Get the first-aid kit!

No, call an ambulance!

How could you hit him for real?

This is a movie!

This is so frustrating.

Jang Soo-ta Assaults

Actor During Shoot!

No Visitors

Take care of yourself.

No, please don't get up.

You're lucky he didn't press charges.

What the hell's wrong with you?

I don't know, either.

There are a few reporters

and Sung-min's fans outside.

You call this a 'few'?

There he is!

Is the movie called off?

Please make a statement.

Was it deliberate?

Apologize! Apologize!

How do you feel now?

I am deeply sorry for upsetting

Sung-min and Sung-min's fans.

- Show your sincere apology!

- You trash!

Apologize! Apologize!

F***.

Which b*tch threw the flour?

Soo-ta! Soo-ta!

Please make a statement.

Apologize! Apologize!

I won't apologize!

Edit that! Call me later!

Where are you going?

The meeting for the commercial shoot.

Forget already?

You don't need to go today.

Why not?

They changed the actor.

Wear a hat if you're going outside.

Did I commit some crime or something?

You ignorant bastard.

Hey, I told you to put on a hat.

You're lucky to be alive.

None.

No actor wants to join us.

Please don't take pictures.

People say that

you can't transform your acting.

They say you live out your characters,

but I disagree.

I think you have great potential.

What bastard said that?

First time you've heard that?

Just ignore it.

I told you not to take pictures!

What an a**hole.

Yeah, I'm an a**hole, so what?

Stop it or else he'll hit you.

Damn it, it took me six years

to prepare for this movie.

If I can finish this,

I'll dance naked in the street.

Stay on schedule.

But I don't have an actor.

I'll promise to bring one

to you myself.

Delicious.

F***.

It's me.

Remember you said you wanted to be

in a movie with me before?

Yeah.

No?

It's no big deal.

Okay, talk to you later.

Son of a b*tch!

I know he's not working,

so how could he be busy!

Bastard's gotten really big now.

Yeah, see you later.

Goodbye.

There's no one to act.

Hey.

There's one actor.

Who?

Rumors have it that his acting

is always the same and he's pompous.

He can't transform his acting.

He's always prone to beat up people.

What an a**hole.

How can you act with a bastard like that?

Who do you think he is?

Never mind.

Just go buy some beer.

But I don't have any money.

You broke bastard.

But this is a check.

Isn't this my money?

It's the money for my medical bills.

Have you lost your mind?

How'd you know my number?

You wrote it down for me.

You came to return that?

No, I changed my mind.

Want to act in a movie?

Movie?

I thought you wanted to act in one.

Why? Now you don't?

It's a gangster movie

with some fight scenes between us.

I lose a few times at first,

but then I win later.

Of course that's a given

since I'm the lead actor.

Do I look that free to you?

Forget it if you don't want to.

Is that convertible your car?

Convertible car?

Yes.

Is that important now?

Nice car.

You're getting a ticket.

What?

Does that bastard know how much

that windshield costs?

Take that ticket off, you bastard!

I told that a**hole to stick

next to the car.

But why me,

when you have so many actors?

What?

The concept for this movie is realism.

What's the real reason?

I told you that

the movie's concept is realism.

I sent two actors to the hospital.

So no one wants to play against me.

You hit them for real?

Then how about we do it for real, too?

What?

Let's do the action scenes for real.

You can't shoot movies like that.

Then go if you're scared to do so.

Then...

Go with the script for the last scene.

Then all you need to do is win.

I can't fake things.

That's your expertise.

You're smart enough to

memorize the lines, right?

'Why waste your short life like that? '

'Wouldn't it be embarrassing... '

Wait, his lines were in the script.

Funny bastard.

Please step aside.

A little bit more.

Are you out of your mind?

You call this your promise?

Movies aren't a joke.

But you liked his image before.

I liked him as a gangster

but not as an actor.

You said you wanted some real action.

Make a decision

after you shoot him.

I give up.

- Why is that guy here?

- 'Do I look funny to you? '

'Does my life look easy to you? '

How about saying it

in a different tone?

'Do I look funny to you? '

'Does my life look easy to you? '

I see you've practiced a lot.

What about the ending?

Will the ending be okay?

Just trust him and let's shoot.

- Mr. Bong, I'm leaving now.

- Okay.

What are you doing?

I tried out scene 87.

I tried out scene 87 as well.

Don't know whether

this is all acting or for real.

Ready.

How's my hair?

Action!

Cut!

Cut!

Cut!

Do it again.

Can't you go any faster?

You're in worse shape than I thought.

Action!

Cut! Cut!

Do it again.

What idiot would run ahead of him?

Let's maintain the distance

and start again.

You're supposed to have spasms

by the scarred eye.

That's the character's trademark.

Cut.

Cut.

Cut.

Cut. Do it again.

What now?

I'd like your eyes to be more vicious.

Hey, director.

Are you mad at me or something?

Isn't this enough?

Your eyes are perfect now.

Shall we stop?

Acting is a piece of cake, right?

Look at the camera and not me.

Cut.

How was he?

Not so bad.

But wouldn't you be the one

who suffers later?

Doesn't seem like it to me.

- Where's my right hand man?

- I think he had to leave, sir.

You can't stand movie shoots, too?

No, sir, but are you okay?

Don't know whether this is a movie shoot

or some track race.

Man, I'm exhausted.

There will be no problem, sir.

The law is a pain in the ass.

Too many things to check.

Don't worry too much, sir.

You'll be able to come out

once the trial is over.

I don't like the fact

that I'm in the hands of a young boy.

But I heard he's very competent

for his age.

All he did was stud law.

What would he know about the world outside?
