chapter 6
6. in the name of the devil
[In the name of the devil]
At the same time that Jung Won-geun and Lee Seok-jae were on the phone, there was another person looking for Won-geun.
His name is Ahn Kyu-nam (Jeong Se-ho).
While looking for the whereabouts of her missing daughter on her way home after going to an academy, she identified Jeong Won-geun as the culprit and was looking for him with a homemade firearm.
Usually Ahn Kyu-nam seemed calm, but when he was touched, his anger exploded and he became more cruel than anyone else.
He also had the cleverness to turn the situation in his favor, for example, in the massacre in Cheorwon committed by Ahn Kyu-nam.
Kyu-Nam Ahn expected that the Ministry of National Defense would cover up the case, and killed all the members of the unit who usually harassed him with guns and grenades.
Ahn Kyu-nam, who had such cleverness, did not expect that there would be people pursuing him.
The person who is looking for Ahn Kyu-nam is Cha Gi-pyo (Lee Seung-gu), the leader of a North Korean gangster active in Suwon.
He lost many of his subordinates due to the guns Ahn Kyu-nam sold to the other organization, and also suffered a great loss in business.
As a result, he planned to capture Ahn Kyu-nam himself and set an example in front of his subordinates.
Cha Gi-pyo has removed obstacles by catching people who are hostile to him or annoying him in business, and throwing them to an abandoned factory in Yeoju, Gyeonggi-do as food for his dogs, or submerging them in a nearby Geumsa Reservoir.
This was also intended to show off his brutality to his subordinates and surrounding organizations and prevent them from doing nonsense.
As many demons gathered to kill each other, they were gradually becoming an Asurapan.

Time passed quickly and the filming of ‘In the Name of the Devil’ entered the mid-to-late half.
In the meantime, while Cha Kyung-seok played the role of the atmosphere maker on set, Kyu-ha became friendly with Jeong Se-ho (Ahn Kyu-nam), Lee Seung-gu (Cha Ki-pyo), and various staff members, becoming brothers and sisters.
Kyu-ha thought that he should express his gratitude to the staff and actors who were considerate of him in various aspects, and he thought about what he could do.
At that time, I called Han Jeong-hee, the team leader, to see if there was something that suddenly came to mind.
“Yes, chief. Shooting is good. It’s nothing different, I’m calling because I have a request.”
A few days ago, I heard that the agency would send a food truck to Kyuha’s cheering scene, so I made another suggestion.
“Yeah. Rice tea is good, but I think it would be meaningful for me to cook for myself. I’ll text you anything you need. thank you.”
Because he had lived as the head chef of the imperial family, he was confident in his cooking.
Although he was accused of poisoning the emperor and executed.
A few days later, the ingredients and cooking utensils requested by Kyu-ha arrived at the site, and the simple kitchen was decorated.
The staff naturally flocked to the scene when an unfamiliar sight that was hard to see at the filming site unfolded.
“What is that? Did you have a cooking shoot today?”
“What kind of food will appear in our movie?”
Gyuha looked around at the gathered staff and talked.
“Today is a day without filming, so I prepared it because I wanted to cook for the struggling staff. If you wait a little bit, I will treat you to a delicious lunch.”
“Wow~~~ Awesome!! I look forward to it~~~ Actor Song!!”
The field staff cheered at Kyuha’s words and went back to their seats with eyes full of anticipation.
Gyu-ha started cooking by preparing ingredients with airlifted ingredients and utensils.
As the head chef of the imperial family, it is important to maximize the taste with the best ingredients, but quick and precise cooking speed was essential to meet the meal times of the imperial family, who usually eat five meals a day.
Gyuha’s hands became very busy to prepare meals for 60 staff members in a short time.
Kyu-ha’s cutting was so fast that it was difficult for the average person to follow properly, and he cooked with simple movements without wasting any movement lines.
And all these scenes were being captured intact by the camera of the making film maker.
“This is great. What a knife like that!!”

Not long after, the dishes were completed one by one and started to be put on a large tray for a buffet.
The dishes Kyu-ha completed were rare in Korea, but the fantastic smell of food spreading throughout the scene made people flock to the food as if possessed by something.
Cha Kyung-seok, Jeong Se-ho, Lee Seung-gu, and director Ko Yo-han also sat at the table naturally.
“wow···. Kyuha what is this? Did you do it yourself?”
“I did some cooking as a hobby, but I wanted to cook a meal for the struggling staff, so I prepared it. I don’t know if it will fit in your mouth.”
“No.. is this a hobby you can cook? There are many dishes that I have never seen in my travels in various countries.”
“Try it once.”
Since it was a buffet style, the staff lined up in order to scoop up the food, and the reaction was explosive.
“Wow, the color of the food is really pretty. Smells even better! This is an insta angle! I have to put it up right away!”
There were many dishes with a visual that I had never seen before, but everyone ate them without hesitation because they were made with familiar sauces and ingredients that Koreans would like.
After everyone had a satisfying meal, they thanked Kyuha and left for the scene one by one.
Director Silent also patted his fully loaded stomach and said,
“Hey, Mr. Gyuha, if you have this kind of cooking skill, you can make a living without being an actor. I can say with certainty that it was the most delicious meal I have ever eaten.”
Cha Kyung-seok, who was next to him, also helped.
“I can’t, Kyuha. Come to my brother’s house tomorrow. When you come, I’ll put the Macallan 25 Year Old I’ve been saving right away!”
“Five! The Macallan 25 Year Old!?? Kyung-seok hyung, please join me too.”
“I’m a little too… I’d be pissed off if I didn’t!?”
Jeong Se-ho and Lee Seung-gu also answered as if they had been waiting.
“Then let’s make this a gathering at my house tomorrow! Is the director going too? Tomorrow is a break from filming.”
“Oh hey tea actor! I want to go too, but I don’t think it will be possible because of the overdue editing and a lot of things to do. Tomorrow, just have a drink with our actors.”
It was somewhat impromptu, but a simple party place where the actors gathered was created.
***
Cha Kyung-seok is now called the next national actor, an actor who believes and sees, but the early days of his acting life were not so smooth.
After a relatively short life of 3 years in obscurity, Cha Kyung-seok took a supporting role in a commercial film with a fairly large production budget.
Maybe that became a jinx, but from then on, each of the films he starred in did not perform well, and he had the worst nickname of ‘Bonus Check’.
However, he built his acting career silently and honestly, and in the end, he portrayed his love for a blind woman who lost hope in a love story with a blind woman who lost hope in life in an authentic melodrama called ‘Dim Light and Sweet Salt’, which is called his life’s work. By expressing it, all the prizes of the year are swept away.
Since then, Cha Gyeong-seok has expanded his spectrum as an actor from comics to action and thrillers, drawing his own filmography.
‘Lululu~’
Cha Gyeong-seok, who lives in a luxurious apartment of 60 pyeong in Apgujeong, is currently living as a wild goose dad because his wife and two daughters are in England.
Cha Kyung-seok excitedly prepared to receive guests at the fact that guests were coming to the empty house after a long time.
“That guy is so amazing.”
Cha Kyung-seok recalled an actor who caught his eye recently.
When I think of my first impression, I thought it was very plain and awkward for an actor.
However, when the camera turned, he became a different person and gave an explosive performance that made even himself flinch. It felt good that a good junior appeared after a long time.
Also, there were times when I felt like I was talking to a senior of the same age or with a lot of life experience when I chatted with Kyuha between filmings.
As a result, in front of Kyuha, there were many times when he brought out his worries without even realizing it.
“On top of that, he’s good at cooking… The more you open it, the more something comes out.”
Looking back on the lunch event prepared by Kyuha this time, it was absolutely not an easy thing to do.
How easy would it be to prepare a meal for nearly 60 people by yourself, from preparing the ingredients to cooking?
Even the finished dish was of such quality that even the self-confident gourmet nodded.
So, Cha Kyung-seok wanted to know more about Kyu-ha, and even opened The Macallan 25 Year Old whiskey he had been saving.
ding dong ding dong
Just in time, the invited guests, Kyu-ha, Lee Seung-gu, and Jeong Se-ho, all at once opened the door to Cha Kyung-seok’s house and entered.
Lee Seung-goo, who has a good sense of humor, said while trembling.
“Oh my gosh Kyungsuk hyung~! thank you for the invitation. What kind of palace is your house?”
“What are you doing in the palace? It just looks empty because it’s unnecessarily large. Come on, don’t do that, sit over there! Because I prepared food and drinks to make you feel like coming.”
Cha Kyung-seok placed the snacks prepared in advance on the table one by one. Steamed marbled beef with plenty of bean sprouts, raw oysters with lemon juice, and grilled deodeok with a crunchy texture.
“Wow, brother, did you prepare all of this yourself? Is this really impressive?”
“What are you doing to this extent? ruler! take the cups This is the Macallan 25 Year Old that I cherished and cherished. You guys are incredibly lucky.”
Drinks were poured into each glass and Cha Kyung-seok shouted a toast.
“Thank you for accepting my invitation today! Cheers to the success of our movie ‘In the Name of the Devil’!”
“Let’s hit the jackpot! toast!”
gulp
“Big~~!! This is this incense.”
The macallan’s unique aged aroma and vanilla scent passed the tip of the nose, and the sweetness like silk stayed full in the mouth.
As we talked about the movie with delicious snacks and good drinks, the atmosphere gradually matured and I began to get drunk to some extent.
As a result, stories that are difficult to bring out normally began to come out naturally.
“Actually, it was really difficult when I was working on my previous work. The actor agency that was competing with me for a role spreads nonsensical fake news and does all sorts of dirty things to get me off… Oh, my teeth tremble just thinking about that time.”
“I haven’t seen that company like that, but it’s really too much.”
Cha Kyung-seok, who listened to Lee Seung-gu’s complaints, naturally asked Kyu-ha a question.
“Kyuha, how did you first start acting?”
After thinking for a moment about the sudden question, he opened his mouth.
“As soon as I graduated from middle school, I immediately went to a slaughterhouse and learned how to shape meat. In high school, I thought the GED would be enough. Then, coincidentally, the boss’s friend was a film director, so I was asked to help with the work, so I ended up here.”
Lee Seung-gu, who was listening to Kyu-ha’s story, exclaimed.
“Hey, you started working at such a young age? Really great. How did you convince your parents? I also remember saying that I would drop out of high school and then being beaten by my father.”
“ah! I didn’t have parents, so it was a decision I made on my own. Back then, I had to make money.”
