This Life Starts as a Child Actor Chapter 74

In this life, I started as a child (74)

“…But let’s use this situation for something good.”

Chae-min, who had been expressing emotions for a long time without knowing whether it was worry or anger, changed her attitude as soon as she received Su-hyeon’s confirmation.

He immediately called the marketing department, summoned the team leader, and took out several folders from the bookshelf.

The same yellow folder I showed you last time had the name Kang Soo-hyun written on it and six codes made up of English numbers.

“The article has already been published. Can I rewrite it?”

“You’re paying kids to think about that, right?”

Chae-min’s smiling face was extremely light, but it was not empty.

Crown, an entertainment agency, was famous for providing generous salaries and benefits and pampering them accordingly.

Still, there were always a lot of managers and employees trying to apply to Crown because it was much better than a place where people were pampered without giving anything.

‘… said the sister in charge of HR. ‘I’ll go before the team leader comes.’

Su-hyeon, who said she had time to reflect with the president, stood up after hearing everything she said.

The sound of the ice melting and hitting the empty glass sounded like a bell.

“store?”

“yes. “I still have some filming left, so I’ll practice more!”

“Ah, I told you to come up as team leader. It’s also not good for a child to be too observant. Anyway, go and see. “Be careful not to hurt yourself.”

“yes!”

Suhyun bowed her head once and left the president’s office.

His steps as he walked down the hallway were light.

Chae-min took advantage of Su-hyeon’s injury.

As this was an opportunity that came half a year after filming ‘Bonahana’, they announced Soohyun’s rehabilitation by raising her name widely.

For authenticity, we circulated reviews of the tour written by several netizens and mixed in Suhyun’s past works.

‘I haven’t done much to promote the movie… but it’s still a long way from being released.’

Public relations was similar to steaming rice.

If the information is released too early, interest decreases on the actual release date, and if the information is released too late, the open mind weakens.

Considering that filming has barely reached the halfway point and the release is still more than half a year away, it is too early to release the work.

‘I think I was a bit premature in putting my name out there. There are so many works coming in… I wonder if it would be better to film a few advertisements even though the work is difficult?’

As soon as the news of rehabilitation became known, love calls for Soo-hyeon also increased.

It’s hard to imagine what one would expect from a child actor, but there was surprisingly a lot to be expected from a child actor who won an award at Cannes.

The dual personality was on the simple side, and there were suggestions to play a murderer or a sociopath.

It made me wonder if they were sending it considering the fact that the actor was eight years old.

Love calls poured in not only from her work but also from the advertising industry.

They preferred Soo-hyeon, who was equally cute, but required less effort and understood well, and often made investment suggestions for the future.

The offers made to build a good relationship had quite generous conditions, and the appearance fee was equivalent to the offer received after gaining popularity before returning.

The fee for appearing in 1,000 commercials for 6 months was not a small expense even for most adult actors.

‘Ha, the more I think about it, the more rice cakes there are to eat.’

However, Su-hyeon could not accept all the proposals.

This is because school life, still only a freshman, was holding him back.

‘No matter how much you pass it off as experiential learning, it will be difficult if controversy over preferential treatment already arises.’

Elementary school life was neither particularly enjoyable nor painful.

There were no bullies to worry about, and there were plenty of kids who looked up to him.

It was because I kept the line to a certain extent, but I managed to keep the jealous children at bay with well-liked children, so I was at peace.

‘But if you keep missing class, it’s easy to become isolated among the kids… and this is secretly difficult.’

Continuous meeting and communication were essential to maintaining human relationships.

Children get bored and change faster than adults, so it is easy for them to be considered strangers when they leave the group for a long period of time.

For Su-hyeon, who was busy with work and had difficulty forming new relationships, maintaining the status quo was the best option.

“Soohyun, what are you thinking? “Are you nervous?”

“Hmm. little bit!”

“Aww, it’s cute… Don’t worry too much. Just look at the camera thinking it’s a monster’s eye. You did well last time too. “You can do well, right?”

“yes!”

Suhyeon smiled brightly at the staff member handing her the candy.

I felt proud again today when I saw the staff member clutching his chest and making strange moans.

‘The wolf monster was engraved in my mind while looking at the figure, so there won’t be a big problem.’

Perhaps because it walks on all fours, the monster’s motion was 100% CG.

Naturally, the actors had to be afraid of the invisible monster and show urgency through their facial expressions and actions.

‘It’s not difficult because most of the time you focus on the monster’s view, but if you move to a side angle or an observer’s view, it’s hard to get a feel for it.’

The monster wolf to be realized in CG was larger than a regular wolf.

Bust cuts and close-ups can be covered to some extent with facial expressions, but when shooting full-body from the side, the position and movement of the gaze were important.

‘…I’m glad I can see the screen.’

Suhyun, who could see the camera screen, was in a better situation than other actors.

In the full body cut, we checked the objective height and made fewer mistakes looking at strange places, and by checking the expression and angle from the monster’s perspective in real time, we were able to draw a better look of fear on the face.

This was in contrast to the reenactment in which all cuts were removed due to lack of focus.

‘I think the angle cut before death has increased thanks to this, but it’s a good thing that the role has increased.’

Every scene where the monster meets Yoon-gil’s family was important.

In the face of great fear, the family members revealed their inner emotions, which served as a critical key to their ability to face their family with their true feelings.

‘Since Hye-yoon is not included in the united family, it may be a consideration to express it in advance before she dies.’

The character ‘Hye-yoon’ was a person who added sadness to sadness.

Usually, I had to take care of my sick grandfather and younger brother instead of my mother.

After encountering a wolf monster, he was mistaken for a liar, saying he mistook it for a wild dog.

A role that, despite being warned of danger, is criticized and ultimately leads to death.

Su-hyeon really liked her role as ‘Hye-yoon’.

‘It’s a bit unfortunate that the death scene is double-shot, but it’s unavoidable.’

Suhyun smiled as she looked at the camera looking down at me from the air.

The reflection of myself from up high was very small.

“The Mad Box team implemented it properly.”

“The actors’ filming also went smoothly.”

“When the overall impact is made, this is…”

During the meeting without the actors, the director and staff checked the 3D design from CG specialist ‘Mad Box’ and cleverly matched the still cuts and motions listed on the screen.

The filming wasn’t finished, but it was an outline work that would be used for later CG work and editing.

“Maybe because we are a team specializing in Hollywood movies, the roaring scenes are also amazing.”

“It would be nice to see a close-up of the chameleon’s eyes on the side and roll around.”

“At this point, the monster’s habits are emphasized…”

The faces of those sharing their opinions were tired, but their expressions were lively.

This is because there were few scenes to be discarded thanks to smooth filming.

Even if the scenes were conceived and passed by the director, not all of the scenes filmed were included in the video.

When I put it all together, it may not have fit the intention, and there were many cases where editing was unavoidable for video grade.

However, it was much more fun to worry because there were so many good scenes than to hold my head because there was nothing to connect to.

“The filming period was set at 8 months, but it looks like it will be completed sooner.”

“I’m glad we got permission to film.”

After organizing the outline once, the staff sat back on their chairs and chatted.

Even though it was just small talk, most of the content was related to filming.

“Actor Ha Jin-wook said the drama ends next week. I hope he finishes it quickly and focuses on the movie. “I’m grateful for your sincerity, but I’m disappointed that I can’t make progress.”

“But what about top actors having good manners? “I am so grateful when I think of people who only have a good image and are shitty people.”

“That’s right.”

“Actor Kim Jin-hyung too…”

Most of the chatter topics were about actors.

Some actors said they were having a hard time because they were secretive, or some extras were annoying because they tried to stand out….

The stories that were going around like that soon reached the main characters and were directed at the child actors.

“I was worried because there were a lot of child actors this time, but they really survived.”

“Iknow, right. “I was especially fortunate that Soohyun took center stage.”

“I was also worried about Yumin’s character, who needed to increase her role in the second half…”

When someone mentioned ‘Yoomin’, those who thought of Jae-yeon let out a small sigh.

Jaeyeon’s acting wasn’t bad, but it was worse.

If it didn’t fit at all, I would have been discouraged, but it was difficult to touch because it was vaguely usable.

After the director publicly scolded her, she somehow managed to get back on track, but she still sighed when she thought about her.

“But Jaeyeon has become a lot nicer, right?”

“yes yes. Actor Jinhyung was really having a hard time. But honestly, I thought I couldn’t change that character and then it would become air, right? But how did they get it in?”

“Hmm. You’re still young. There are not just one or two actors who live with that pretentious taste. “He said he would change his mind and do well, but let’s not do that too much.”

What has changed is that there are now people who defend her.

Unlike the initial meeting, the number of people who view Jae-yeon as a decent actor has increased.

“The really great one is Suhyun. “I wonder if you’ve been acting since you were in your mother’s womb, and sometimes you get surprised?”

“that’s right. “I was a little worried because there was a gap of over a year… but I was worried for no reason.”

“It may be a bit harsh to say this, but I think he was the best next to actor Jin-wook.”

“Ahaha that went too far. “Teacher Kyung-man is here.”

“The teacher hasn’t filmed any impactful scenes yet.”

If public opinion toward Jae-yeon was half favorable and half hostile, public opinion toward Su-hyeon was full of favor.

He is an actor who memorizes all his lines without interfering with filming and is good at controlling emotions.

This is because Soohyun was the ideal child role that every filming crew dreamed of, with her young, cute appearance and friendly attitude.

“Honestly, I am undervalued because I am young. “You give me goosebumps when I see him act?”

“At that time, I saw him fall and run right away, and I thought, wow… that’s an actor.”

“Ha, if Soohyun were only in middle school, she would have swept the Rookie of the Year award next year.”

Those sitting in the conference room quietly nodded in agreement with the lighting director’s sighing words.

The role is good and the acting is great.

Even though he was not competing for Best Actor or Rookie of the Year award, it was clear that if he was unable to receive an award, it would be due to his age.

“then.”

It was at that time that Director Heo Je-hee, who had been quietly listening to the story as usual, opened his mouth.

“Let’s change Hyeyun’s death a little bit.”

There was an ambiguous smile on his lips, like when he mentioned the death of ‘Hye-yoon’ during the audition.
