All language subtitles for [Eng Sub] Call It What You Want Ep.01_track3_[eng]

Ploy! Food!

"Wake up!!!!"

“Already awake.”

“Don’t forget to eat the sandwich I made
and pay the car installment.”

“Will do! And it’s called “car ‘loan’ installment.”

“Otherwise your car will be impounded!”

Action!

“First day on set!”

“I’m ready, Book. Tell the driver to come
and pick me up now.”

Hello? I’m on my way down.

Wait. Didn’t you know?

What?

Fon traveled out of the country
with all the production money.

What?

Fon. She’s left the country
with all the money.

The shooting has been cancelled...

The crew has been
contacting me non-stop

because the first check would be out today…

James, are you still there?

(Call It What You Want)

Your favorite.

I went all the way to the
Bang-kapi market to buy it.

Here, coconut rice cake.

Your coconut rice cake is so cold.

I’ll warm it up.

Don’t.

I’m not hungry.

Let’s watch TV.

Rumor really has it! Moving on to celeb news
starting with the hashtag #BoycottKrapao.

No offense or anything,
but he was seen with a girl at Chatuchak market.

How can his fans accept that?

This directly affects Tee,
the number one starmaker in Thailand,

who terminated Kaprao’s contract

and also the contract of
the newcoming director, Tae.

Looks like the series "2Nights"
won’t be able to go further into production.

Tee, the starmaker, who has been
in the game for over 30 years,

had managed to find a new partner for Bas.

His name is Ait.

Hey, he’s your type, right?

Look at his smile!

Why don’t you try contacting Tee?

He might be looking for a director
at the moment.

This is total nonsense.

"Have you watched the news this morning?"

"The protest leader was arrested
in front of a police station."

"He was about to be released
by the order of the court,"

"but then, an officer found another warrant,
along with more than 80 warrants,"

"This shows how corrupted
Thailand really is."

"Moving on to another story,"

"the Motivation Village staff
were victims of a fraud"

"by Fon, the producer from Art-Five Film productions
and Monday Working productios."

"Over 7 million baht were stolen."

Don’t switch it off!

Leave it on!

Fon, you bastard, you idiot!

Hey!

Your phone is ringng!

Pick it up!

If my mom calls, tell her I’m ill.

It’s not your mom.

Unknown number.

Pick it up!

Hello?

Hello, can you hear me, James?

Yes.

This is Jub calling from
Tee’s MTH production.

Just a second, please.

Hey, Tee called.

Tee from MTH production.

Turn on the speaker for me, will you?

What are you waiting for?

Hello, Tee.

This is Jub speaking, not Tee.

I’m his assistant.

Hello Jub.

Listen, you are free at the moment, right?

Yes.

Good. Tee has an upcoming project…

By the way, do you know Tee?

Yes, I do.

Alright. There is this upcoming series called "2Nights."

He would like you to direct it.

Yes.

Are you free today around 3pm?

The company is located behind
Bodhindecha school around Twin Town.

I would be glad to come by, Jeab.

It’s Jub.

My apologies, Jub.

I’ll you send you
the location via Messenger.

See you at 3!

Yes, ma’am.

I got the job!

Aren’t you happy for me?

Are you James, the director?

Hello.

Hello, come on in.

I’m Jub. We talked on the phone.

You are early!

A bit.

I’m a script supervisor

working as Tee’s assistant.

Has this actor recently been casted?

Yes, last week.

Here, we work as a team.

We talk directly to each other,
when something’s up.

Tee is our boss and...

Tee is ready.

His room is on the second floor
on the right.

See you later.

James.

Your cap.

Take it off.

Have a seat.

Please, take a look at the contract.

If you have any questions, let me know.

Is 60,000 Baht the director's rate
per episode?

The 60,000 Baht include…

You can pick up if you want.

Sorry.

The 60,000 Baht include…

Go on.

Hello, mom.

Of course, in 3 days.

Send me a note on Messenger.

Talk to you later.

I’m done.

60,000 Baht include 20 working days,

directing,

script editing,

acting coach,

training,

editing,

and…

subtitling.

Is there any problem?

No, sir.

Thank you.

Nice cap.

The cap?

Seems like you know your duty well.

Just like how they mentioned.

Who?

Noi from Sukumvit.

She said you make good movies.

Like…

Present Perfect?

Yes, that one.

Here's the signed contract.
You can keep it.

And, are you free this afternoon?

I want you to do a workshop
with the actors.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

James.

You forgot your cap.

James.

Have you eaten?

Yes.

Take a seat.

Have some fruit.

Will you be able to make it?
4 days before the shooting starts.

Do you have the digital version
of the documents?

Yes. Give me your phone,
I’ll send it to you.

Unlock it.

Go ahead and read the script.

This series is called "2Nights."

It’s a BL story.

The novel is a best-seller.

Tee wants to ship a romance
between two actors.

Create?

Here.

What do you mean by “ship”?

Ship,

it's BL slang.

Like when you see two men together,

you ship them in your head,
that they both get together.

The shooting is about to start.

Do a lot of research about BL.

You are a director of a BL series.

The audience are mostly BL fans.

Jub.

What is BL?

Are you kidding me?

Your movies are also BL.

BL stands for Boys' Love,

where a straight man falls in love
with another straight man,

but it's not a gay series.

There’s a difference.

Confused?

So am I.

When I make movies

I don’t focus on gender

whether it’s a boy or a girl…

The actors are ready.

Let’s start the workshop.

Hello, boys.

Hello, Jub.

Are you feeling better?

It's getting better.

Let me introduce James, our new director.

Hello P’James.

James, this is Ait, he plays the Top.

Bottom.

And this is Bas, he plays the Bottom.

Top.

God, it's confusing!

Bas, I’ve ordered a new flavor
of chicken shake for you.

Aut.

Ait

His name is Ait.

Ait

Haven’t we met before?

It’s almost 3pm.

Let’s start the workshop.

Sure.

I’ll go back to work.

Alright.

What time will you go home today, Ait?

8pm. I have to pick up my mom
at the airport.

Don’t forget to pick up the car keys
and your phone from me.

And also, don’t forget. You have an appointment
with the doctor at 10am tomorrow.

Ok.

Bye!

I think we have met before, haven’t we?

Let’s start the workshop.

Let’s sit down.

First, let’s introduce ourselves

starting with Ait.

My name is Ait.

I was a second-year aviation student.

But I dropped out.

What made you want to become an actor?

There are many reasons
why I want to become an actor.

The main reason is money.

I don’t want to ask my mom for money.

Also, my mom is a flight-attendant.

I grew up seeing her travel very often.

That’s good.

You also studied aviation.

Yes, it is.

But if I were to travel like my mom,

I wouldn’t be able to do it.

Plus, I think I’m talented at acting.

Do you have any acting experience?

Does Phra Aphai Mani
during high school count?

Wait. What character did you play?

The mermaid?

Sinsamut.

Sure, if you’re proud of it.

Now it’s Ait’s, no, Bas’ turn.

Wait,

I’ve got something else to tell you.

I’m single.

And you? Are you single?

Yes, I am.

Now it’s my turn.

Hello, my name is Bas, Suphakit Mueanjan.

Actually, I didn’t want to be an actor
in the first place.

But I’ve been scouted by many people.

They told me that I should be an actor.

You’re implying that
you’re good-looking, right?

Well, have a look.

Let’s focus on you.

Why do you want to be an actor?

Tell us from the bottom of your heart.

Alright, start.

Well, I'm a communication student,

majored in acting

My family didn’t really agree with
what I chose to study.

They wanted me to be a doctor.

Like my brother.

How should I put this?

I’ve been looked down so many times.

It might be because of the social norms
in the countryside.

They think being an actor
is not really on the table.

They actually told me
that it’s impossible.

I want to prove that

if you have a dream,

you can make it.

Most importantly,

I want to prove my parents

that I can be successful.

A son who doesn’t disappoint them.

What a strong passion you have.

If you didn’t become an actor,

what would you do?

I’d rather die.

Just kidding.

You should see how pale your face is.

Alright, now it’s my turn.

My name is James.

From now on, don’t call me P’James.

Call me James or whatever you want.

Just simply call me James.

P’James, wouldn’t that be disrespectful?

I told you not to call me P’James.

Oh, sorry.

You said it again.

James.

An actor should respect
the others as human beings

regardless of age, pronouns, and titles.

We are now equal human beings

with different occupations.

Understood?

Alright, let me see your acting skills.

Ok.

Finally, breaktime!

Get up!

Sit up straight.

Let me take a short break.

Seems like your previous director trained you well.

Well, he didn’t train me at all.

He was fired before getting to do that.

Alright then, how far have you read the script?

I’m at episode 6.

I’ve finished all of it.

All of it?

What scenes do you find the most difficult?

I don’t find any of them difficult.

The beach scene.

What page is the beach scene on?

Page 23.

Found it.

Your homework for today is
to memorize the lines from this scene.

No need to memorize them exactly.

Just have an idea

Remember.

If you want to be a great actor

you should understand the script
and the characters.

Put yourself in the character’s shoes

And don’t forget

what has happened to the character
in the previous scene

and what will the character encounter
in the next scene.

Another important thing is that

you have to be open-minded.

Directors and actors should understand the script
in the same way.

And if you have anything to say, just say it.

It’s like getting to know each other very well.

Put simply, there shouldn’t be
any walls between us.

Say what you have in mind.

You guys are on Messenger, right?

Then add my number.
You can call or text me 24 hours.

098

936

8626

Aren’t you gonna write it down?

We are not allowed to use cellphones.

What?

Nothing.

Well, if we used our phone to contact someone else,

our contract could be terminated,
like Kaprao’s.

Are you alright?

Don’t.

I’ve stayed with him in the last 4 days.

He always gets sick.

Why?

Well, Bas plays the Top, right?

He needs to stay in good shape.

So, he is forced to drink
chicken breast shake and cucumbers.

Isn’t he allowed to eat anything else?

And you can’t use your cellphone.

Who has been posting
on your Instagram and Twitter?

That is lying!

BL fans see what they want to see.

Tee also knows what they want.

If I posted random things on social media,

like criticizing the government,

it could cause drama.

Don’t tell me that you’ve also been
forced to get a nose job.

No.

But one of our sponsors is a beauty clinic.

Tee also said my nose
was slightly deformed.

So, he sent me to undergo surgery.

Let me go see how Bas is doing.

Wait.

Can I call you tonight?

I thought you are not allowed
to use your phone.

I’m going back home tonight.

My number is 098…

No need.

I got it.

You got it?

I just told you once.

Of course.

Wait and see.

You have good memory.

Let me go check on Bas.
