This Life Starts as a Child Actor Chapter 70

This life is from a child actor (70)

“What’s going on, Miss Lee Jae-yeon?”

“I don’t think I could say thank you during our last meeting. “To be honest, I didn’t know that I would be playing the role of Yumin, the first child.”

Jaeyeon looked away and smiled, pretending to be shy.

It was quite a different attitude compared to the last closed practice where he just said hello and disappeared.

‘What did Chaemin say? ‘Did you say she was a lucky girl…?’

Su-hyeon quietly stared at Jae-yeon, who was openly acting like a fox.

Originally, the role Jaeyeon was aiming for was ‘Hyeyoon’, the second child like Suhyeon.

The reason I ran into him at the audition was because she was auditioning before Soo-hyeon’s turn came.

‘You said it was a huge disaster… But where does Chaemin get such trivial information?’

Unfortunately, Jaeyeon’s portrayal of ‘Hyeyoon’ was disastrous.

Although he succeeded in analyzing the second child, who takes care of the youngest child and supports the family, as a benevolent person, he played it off as pretense rather than charity.

Moreover, even for acting, I couldn’t memorize all the lines, so I had to look at the script.

‘Nevertheless, the director hired him because he thought the image was right. Actually, I get along well with Yumin.’

What made her pass was her personality, not her acting.

Jae-yeon’s actions reminded her very well of the eldest child running around outside because the house was in a mess.

Chae-min, who relayed the news, said that it was very rare to be selected like that even if you were not good at acting, and made a mysterious expression.

‘Maybe it’s because I fit the role well, but it wasn’t bad when I was practicing the script, but even then, I walked around with that arrogant taste… Is it because I was young?’

Jaeyeon, who was chosen like that, had a high nose.

His arrogance was so high that he only spoke to the lead actor, Ha Jin-wook, and only showed courtesy to veteran actors and directors that would not cause criticism.

It was an uncomfortable time for everyone because they were so blatantly singling out people.

‘That’s right, but if you feel a sense of crisis and act kindly when I approach you, you can see it all. This is why you have to be nervous when it suddenly pops up.’

Just as there are lotto winners every week, there are surprisingly many celebrities who become popular instantly by shooting a good commercial or work.

But very few of them maintained their emerging popularity.

This is because most of them wasted a lot of the honey pot they suddenly acquired and quickly crashed the moment the honey ran out.

The flies attracted to honey in the name of friends or acquaintances never helped those who were falling.

‘The agency or manager needs to correct that, but he’s too stubborn.’

The reenactment was similar.

She became a star through a commercial a few months ago and thought she was successful because she was amazing.

Preoccupied with her own strengths, she set her own standards and subtly looked down on those who were inferior.

This is the so-called class division, and it was a common mistake made by Cinderellas who suddenly fell apart through works or advertisements.

“Okay, let’s go.”

“Ah, yes…”

While Su-hyeon was lost in thought, the director put up an iron wall and ignored all of Jae-yeon’s shallow tricks.

Since he was handpicked to play the role of ‘Yoo-min’, the first child, and because he is young, people would have looked at him, but Jae-hee maintained his indifferent attitude.

“Soohyun, there’s a long time left before filming, so go and rest.”

“Yes, director!”

The director waved his hand at Soo-hyeon, perhaps feeling annoyed after dealing with Jae-yeon.

Although it was irritating to be tied to a wholesale level, Su-hyeon smiled and lowered her head.

Even if you tried to close the distance in front of a disgruntled authority figure, it was likely to backfire eight times out of ten.

“It’s a pity that the director was offended by the reenactor.”

“It can’t be helped. “Things don’t always work out.”

“It would be nice if the re-enactor could take a couple of spoonfuls of the actor’s adultness.”

Instead of answering Sang-il’s words, Su-hyeon often walked towards other staff members.

Seeing him fluttering around, Sang-il burst into laughter as if he had no choice and followed after him.

‘Oh, it’s like a different person.’

Heo Jin-wook was an actor worthy of being called handsome.

His facial features were clear and cool, and his thick eyebrows and sunken eyes were the attractive points that his fans chose.

However, such charm could not be found in Jinwook after the makeup was completed.

His deeply shaded eyes looked gloomy, and his bushy beard and rough skin made him look like a homeless man.

‘Well, in terms of setting, it’s similar to being homeless.’

‘Yoon-gil’ was a person who only came home when he ran out of money.

He lived a typical trash life, putting gambling and drinking before his family, and becoming more violent when he got drunk.

Before the ‘wolf monster’ appeared and threatened the lives of his family and himself, it was a waste to say that he was irredeemable.

“Jin-hyung, you look very tired.”

“right? “I was surprised when I got dressed up.”

Actor Kim Jin-hyung, who played the role of ‘Shin Ha-yeon’, who was waiting after putting on makeup in advance, burst into laughter at Su-hyeon’s words.

Even though she was almost forty, her girlish smile suited her very well.

‘I play separately after dressing up.’

If ‘Yoon-gil’ was trash, his wife ‘Ha-yeon’ was a bundle of regrets.

She could not abandon her sick father, her ugly husband, and her three children who were nothing more than a burden.

Exhausted from labor and unable to even love her children, she lived each day with the chains that bound her.

The life of ‘Ha-yeon’ was clearly revealed on Jin-hyeong’s face wearing makeup.

‘Even if you put on makeup like that, if your smile is bright, your impression will change. This older sister’s personality is very different from her character.’

Of course, that was ‘Hayeon’s’ personality and not the terrain.

She played the role of ‘Hayeon’ and led the scene brightly.

It was so bright that even though it was the first day of filming, there were few people who didn’t say hello to her.

“Actually, your dream was to team up with teacher Seol Kyeong-man? So when the offer came, I reluctantly accepted it.”

“…Not senior Jinwook?”

“Haha, Mr. Jinwook, you are too young.”

“….”

There was silence for a moment, but Suhyun calmed her expression and continued the conversation.

It was right to be close to an actor who was friendly with everyone around him.

“I was worried because there were a lot of young people this time. I’m sick of kids. But I was glad you were mature.”

“I’m also happy to meet a good sister like Jin-hyung!”

“I heard you’re a really pretty girl and speaks nicely. “He’s good at acting too.”

Jinhyeong must have been so excited that he praised Suhyeon without stopping.

Even though there was a gap of a year, I didn’t feel that. The second child you played was pathetic. Her vocalization was good….

She knew how to give pleasant compliments, and Su-hyeon had to work hard to hold on to the door of her heart that was about to open without her knowledge.

“…Jaeyeon seems to be Jinwook’s fan.”

“Umm, Jaeyeon?”

The conversation that bounced back and forth, turning Soo-hyeon’s heart into a butterfly’s wings, turned towards Jae-yeon at some point.

For the first time, I felt uncomfortable hearing Jinhyung’s always cheerful voice.

Her eyes were looking at Jin-wook, who was checking his movements after putting on makeup, and Jae-yeon, whose eyes were sparkling, standing next to him.

“I heard that you have just entered middle school… Even though you are all grown up on the outside, you definitely look young.”

Jinhyeong’s voice was the same as when he was praising Suhyeon, so the word ‘young’ sounded like ‘you’re young, there’s nothing you can do about it.’

However, Su-hyeon did not mistake the nuance behind the words.

‘This older sister gets angry very brightly.’

The entertainment industry was harsh on children.

This is because children are held to the same standards as adults.

It was not just limited to the shooting environment, but also the waiting posture.

Even if it’s cold, I don’t complain, I don’t collapse in the heat, I don’t interfere with the staff’s movement…

No matter how much I like an actor, I don’t overexpress it.

Children had to endure many desires and learn to suppress their emotions.

The act of clinging to the main character and watching quietly was considered a ‘nuisance’ just by looking at it.

‘But he’s doing that even though this is his debut work. Wow, the more I think about it, the more amazing it is….’

Suhyeon understood that the terrain was amazing.

Because Jaeyeon was the youngest on set today.

This is his first acting role in one year since his debut in the entertainment industry.

Even the eight-year-old child actor Soo-hyeon was senior to Jae-yeon, and what she should have done was not to look at Jin-wook, but to greet the actors and show the appearance of a ‘healthy newcomer’.

‘The acting wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t anything great. Really um. I guess I grew up receiving a lot of love.’

Jaeyeon was steadily accumulating hatred on set, but her manager could not stop her from running wild.

“Let’s start filming! Actor Ha Jin-wook, please rehearse!”

While each person was having complicated thoughts, the staff’s voice rang through the scene.

After a while, the camera light started blinking.

* * *

“Soohyun, be careful not to deviate from the camera’s direction… Well, seeing as you’re on the show, I don’t think you need to worry.”

“Thank you for your concern.”

“He has a bright personality. … It would be nice if they were even half as similar.”

Suhyeon laughed as the staff member sighed, unable to remember his name.

Lead actor Jin-wook’s filming was completed faster than the expected 3 hours.

This was because there were almost no NGs, but even considering that it was the first day, the actors’ character analysis was excellent.

However, despite the smooth progress, the atmosphere on site was chaotic.

At the center was Lee Jae-yeon.

‘It’s not easy to be hated like this. No, it’s only natural since it bothered Juyeon.’

Jae-yeon did not talk to Jin-wook or approach him.

However, in a busy field, just looking could be a distraction, and she really only looked at Jinwook.

Without saying hello to senior actors or seniors. I only said hello to the director and spent all my time looking at Jinwook.

‘I don’t want to be an adult who treats my juniors poorly, so I’m putting up with everyone’s harsh words… but is this okay?’

Wouldn’t it be better to change ‘Yu-min’ now?

Even with that thought in mind, Soohyun steadily stood in front of the camera.

The issue of casting was something for the director to think about, not for a single actor to decide.

“Shoot in!”

Jaeyeon, who had finished preparing together, glanced at Suhyeon.

Her eyes overflowed with jealousy that she couldn’t hide.

‘then.’

As loud applause echoed through the set, the buzzing noise disappeared.

In a space where only the sound of machinery echoed softly, Suhyun’s face distorted.

‘Should I greet my junior sister in my own way?’

Suhyeon’s name was not left out of the list of ‘seniors who could not say hello even when their eyes met.’

* * *

“Sister Yumin. Are you in? hungry? Shall I prepare some food for you? huh?”

“….”

“Are you going out again? “Sejin will take a look.”

“Oh, it’s noisy!”

“ah…!”

The girl who was silently walking away threw away her younger brother who was clinging to her with an annoyed look on her face.

The younger brother looked at her with a mixture of affection and anger, but soon clung to the girl with only sadness.

“…I thought you got hurt because you hit me so hard.”

“Me too…”

The two staff members in charge of miscellaneous work stared at the scene being filmed with expressions they had experienced for ten years.

This is because the sight of Su-hyeon staggering after being hit in the face with the back of her hand was so realistic.

The appearances of the first child, ‘Yu-min’ and the second child, ‘Hye-yoon’, were exactly similar to those of ‘Yoon-gil’ and ‘Ha-yeon’ that were filmed just before.

It was very unfortunate that the supporter became the weak and the self-indulgent one was left wandering around.

“But um… Yumin is a little different.”

“uh… I know.”

As the camera rolled, strange emotions appeared on the faces of the staff members who were watching.

The siblings resemble their parents.

But the strange part was very different.

“Why does Yumin look like trash like this?…”

A sister who ignores her younger brother and a younger brother who clings to his older sister.

Compared to the parents, there was no violence and the situation was less serious, but strangely enough, in their eyes, ‘Yu-min’ seemed to be doing something even worse.
