Star Confession : Chapter 6
After a
one-year commitment of preparation to step ahead towards stardom
ended, I finally went to the “School 2” public audition that gathered
about 300 competes. I demonstrated my acting skills in front of the PD-
nims, and appraisement that I heard are “ lively facial expressions
and eye contact”, “excellent acting skills” etc. So I was qualified
with the 10 other people. From that time on, I started to watch the
16-episodes “School”, and started to analyze the characters in that
drama as the chosen casts will need to practice through the script
before the arrangement of characters was made. So, I watched the drama
again and again, making a careful analysis of various characters in this
drama.
I slept merely 3 to 4 hours just for the sake
of this drama. Even when I fall asleep, I wanted to dream about the
characters of that drama, and they did appear in my dream too. I even
dreamt of talking and playing together with them. I gave myself
confidence that no matter what kind of role I get, I can still portray
that role well. Fortunately, I got good scores for the script
practicing session, so at the end I was selected as the member of the
bad group, which is the second leading character. My efforts
had finally brought victory in return. I gradually
gained some popularity after I acted in “School 2”,
felt feels like getting to see a glimmer of light
feeling after passing a long dark and hollow tunnel. I
felt really exuberated and start to concentrate fully in my
filming. When I was filming for “School 2”, there was a scene where I
was being hit by the gang members under Dong Geok Bridge. The actors
can’t act well as they feel sorry to hit me, so we had NGs continuously
for that scene. So, I decided to ask the actors to hit as hard as
they can and not to feel sorry about me, as this might make this scene
realistic and finished in a shorter time as well or we will need to
film this scene for the whole night.. Finally, after the “Cue” signal
appeared, they started to hit me really hard. Even though I ended up
with cracked lips, bleeding gums, bruised chest, but still my face is
full of tears. And those tears were tears of sheer
bliss.
Star Confession : Chapter
7
There were actually many pain and sorrow stories
behind the gorgeous side of the entertainment industry. During my early
debut period in 1998, I portrays the role as a woman that seduces the
King Dae Jong in K1TV’s historical drama, “Dragon Tears” that had a
record of the highest viewing role among the historical sageuk dramas.
During filming the scene when I was offering a bowl of alcohol,
suddenly the insult of PD Kim Jae Hyung strucks my head like a bolt of
lightning. “Hey, you crazy bixxx ! How could you have your fingernails
colored in red while shooting the scene of your hands holding the bowl
of soju??” That PD-nim has a nickname called “Black Faced Guy” as he
was hot tempered. As there were many veteran actors there, he
immediately shouted at me, “Hey, cut it off, cut it off !!” How could I
dare to hesitate to do it when this is a chance that I can hardly get?
So, Mr Jang and headed off searching for a nail cutter frantically
everywhere. It was a wintry cold day at that time, and everyone was
chilling to their bones even in the filming location, Yong In folk
village. Despite of the cold weather, we wandered at the village for
about 30 minutes just for the sake to get a nail cutter. Finally, we
found nail cutters at a souvenir shop, and cut my fingernails. I even
used the nail cutter to scrap off the remaining nail polish on my
fingernails.
Star Confession : Chapter 8
Just
like the fellow actors and actresses like Chae Rim, Kim Bo Sung etc,
there were actually many actors that became popular after changing
their actual names to their stage names. The same thing goes to me too.
My actual name is Jeon Hae Rim. My manager Mr. Jang gave me a stage
name called Ha Ji Won to resemble a brand new start. This is actually
her ex-girlfriend’s name, but since she broke up with him, so he
released all his enthusiasm and passion to me so he gave me this name.
It is totally complicated to understand a man’s heart and feelings,
isn’t it? Is it that he wanted to make me into a shining star in order
to introduce me to her? ( laughed ) Anyway, when I was filming K1TV’s
“School 2”, I went for the public audition for “Truth Game”. The
competitive percentage of the audition is a total killing rate of 1500 :
1. It was really hard to get the leading role in the movie, especially
for a newcomer. But still luckily, I managed to get appraisement like
“Flawless acting skills, a pair of charismatic eyes, the coexistence of
both good and evil expressions”. Even though I was chosen as the
leading actress, nevertheless there was another problem that awaits me.
The directors “Truth Game” said that I couldn’t concentrate fully in
filming this movie while shooting for two movies, so they wanted me to
quit filming the drama. But how could I betray the KBS that willingly
gave me such opportunity to a newcomer like me? So I tried to persuade
Director Kim Ki Yong and the film producer company’s Mr. Lee Myung Hyun
that I will try my best in filming this movie, and finally they agreed
to that. My parents felt very happy when they get to know that I was
being chosen as the leading actress in a movie. There was one time that
they wanted to visit the filming location that was located at,
Namyang-ju-ssi, Gyeonggi-do, Seoul. But they didn’t informed us before
coming. But is this a coincidence or the joke played by the
fate, they came during I was filming for the scene where I was
stripping off in the bathtub to seduce Ahn Seung Ki sunbae-nim. Mr.
Jang was very worried that my parents would saw me stripping off, so he
gave a lot of excuses and persuaded them in order to keep them away
from the filming location. He said that he sweated ( too anxious ) so
much that he even wet his underwear that day.
