Host: There’s no preparation. Everyone would go and surround the monitor to anticipate how you’d take on and perform the scene.
Grate: Correct krub. The director would be like, ohhh ho, ohh ho (wow), very excellent. He came with full force.
Host: Really?
Everyone: Yes, really.
Host: He gave it his all. Really scary huh?
Jaja: I want everyone to picture a life monitor as the script. Alex would say every line correctly and filled with emotions like how a life monitor would show the heart beating up and down really quick. He’s an excellent performer.
(Haha, I understand what she’s saying but don’t quite recognize the words she’s using. So I came up with a similar scenario to try and explain the point she’s trying to make. I might be right or wrong. Sorry guys.)
Preem: No matter what he plays, he plays it well.
Grate: Right always (does his little hand gesture)
Host: That’s right. Each time you play, they surround the monitor to watch you act. No matter what you play, they’d all react by saying wow, very outstanding. It’s something to be very proud of.
Alex: Krub, I’m very proud of it.
(Shows clips of Alex's scenes)
Host: You know, as for me, the scenes where you play with ‘Fon (lady who plays his mother), I have to speak of her. It wouldn’t be right of me not to.
Alex: Right, you have to give her credit.
Host: This woman is very scary.
Everyone: Correct.
Grate: Even her son is scared (points at Alex and laughs)
Host: Are you afraid of her?
Alex: Yes, I’m afraid krub. When we’re not acting in a scene yet, can I talk about it? She has her own methods of getting into her character. She’d approach me and start saying “Nee na, mom is very proud of you son.” And this is not us acting in a scene. It’s outside of the scene.
Host: Outside of the scene audience.
Alex: At first, I thought she was playing with me.
Host: He thought that she was daydreaming. (not sure of what perr jer means)
Alex: Like what is she saying? But then I realized that it’s her method of preparing for a scene like, "Nee na, like, mother is very proud of you son. You’re a good leader." (speaking in a motherly tone) And I be like, krub, I love you too mom. I just play along and respond back to her. I don’t think much of it. When we’re about to enter a scene, we’d do this all day. Until when I return home, I forget and still be in character. (everyone laughs)
Host: But there’s this one scene. I’m sure you remember, where a man has to be feeling very overwhelmed to seek his mother, and his mother was about to go out. She was still talking on the phone . And you went to see her. Oh ho, that scene is very scary to me.
(Plays clip)
Host: From her eyes to her method of acting and getting off the phone to console her son by saying I love you son, I love you son.
Alex: Yeah, that’s when I started sweating because it was very hot.
Host: Very hot?
Alex: Truth is, if we were to shoot a scene in 3 days, and she has to be ready by the 3rd day, she would keep on thinking deeply about her character. Until the 3rd day is when she releases all that character build up and excel in her scene. She has to use up all three days because by the first day, I be like, " Ok P’Fon, the set is available. We can get this scene done and over with." And she’d reply by saying, " I’m not ready yet. Two more days." (everyone laughs)
Preem: Correct, outside of the scene, I’ve observed P'Font and saw that she’d be very stress and tends to prefer to be left alone.
Min: At times, she’d talk to herself when she’s alone.
Host: Right. Nong Fon, I applaud you. You’re a brilliant actress. (thumbs up) I can tell from each scene that you play your role wonderfully by showing that no matter how your child is, it doesn’t matter, you’d still love your child no matter what. That’s nong Fon for you.
Which scene are you most proud of?
Waan: It has to be the scene involving Min where I try to pursue a relationship with her because in the lakorn, Pattawee is not happy with his life. He’s a good person who’s not experiencing any happiness. His house consists of mostly conniving people who only thinks about doing bad things to others.
Host: Speaking of people in your house, your younger sibling is very despicable. Very dislikeable. When you have a younger sibling like that, you definitely won't be able to stand it. Your dad also. Combine this with your younger sibling and it'll be too much.
Waan: And when I get out of the house, I can’t even have the woman I love. I can’t have the happiness that I’ve always wanted. So when I encounter a woman who comes and attack me first, it makes me decide to invest in her and love her. (everyone reacts) There’s no harm in risking it because there’s nothing to lose (when his life is already this miserable).
Host: Oh wow, you talk like you’re experiencing this in real life.
Waan: (tosses his arms up to deny it)
Host: This is only a little synopsis about Samee audience. There’s still a lot to anticipate starting from Preem’s love scene with Grate in Hua Hin. Omg, that scene was very adorable. The scene involves them finally being intimate with each other for the first time. Very romantic and adorable. For real. No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like sex at all. It was filled with sweetness. You speak the truth. And the more you speak, the more Khun Ying starts to get mad. It was very sweet and filled with essence. It depicted true love.
And tell us why you have to always go and talk nicely to Jaja, Preem?
Preem: At first, I just think that her character is holding a grudge. Not a big deal. And then there are some scenes where she starts to threaten me. That’s when I start to ask her to sit closely to me.
Host: And this is outside of the scene because you’re afraid of her.
Preem: It’s because I’m the kind of person who likes to make myself feel comfortable. So I used this method to make myself feel comfortable with her.
Host: So you’re truly afraid of her?
Preem: A little bit. (Looks at Jaja and smiles)
Jaja: (reaches out to spook Preem out)
Preem: And we’d always act like this towards each other.
Host: Really? Overall, this lakorn really brings happiness to its viewers. And I have to admit that it’s really the lakorn of the year. That’s only a little description. There are still scenes that Alex and Jaja talked about, to how Grate and Preem began to understand each other, including other couples’ love story. I have to apologize again for each and every one of you who were unable to come here today. But I have to say that you guys are excellent performers. And this is my lakorn of the year, Samee krub.
And these are photos of the cast from the lakorn Samee who is here today. It’s been an honor for us to have you all here today. It’ll really be a challenge for lakorn makers in the future to top this. As for the script writer, I have to say once again, that I really admire and praise your work. Each line that’s written, each actor who's reading their scripts, ever Alex said so himself that he really wants to start acting the scene out immediately. Because each word that you’ve written is very moving. Each actor sitting here says that you’re a really great writer who puts much thought into writing the script for each character. You are a hard worker. I have to praise the producer as well, Nok Jariya krub (lady who plays Ai’s mother). Very excellent work for lakorn Samee krub. Audience krub, this is the cast of Samee.
(Audience claps) (Final)
