This life is from a child actor (81)
Taesung’s smartphone was released three years later than Waffle’s Wi-Phone.
It was because of the circumstances of adults, but for Su-hyeon, who thought Taesung and waffles were the best smartphones, these were anxious moments as to whether history had changed.
‘Of course, I thought Taesung Phone would come out around the time Waffle Phone came out.’
By the time Soohyun started using phones, smartphones had replaced feature phones as the mainstream, and Waffles and Taesung were leading the way.
Even though I knew that the first one was WiPhone, I never imagined that Taesung would have started three years later.
‘…Couldn’t it have been really late? Oh no way. ‘No matter how much I created the butterfly effect, would it have affected smartphones?’
The influence it has had on movies and dramas so far is too great to just laugh it off.
Therefore, Su-hyeon had to feel a subtle sense of anxiety from the moment she heard the first smartphone advertisement.
“Actor, where does it hurt?”
“No….”
“I don’t have any energy today?”
“I’m just nervous because it’s been a while since I last advertised.”
The trembling accompanied by fear also included excitement.
As we lived in an era where smartphones were our second soul, Soohyun also had some symptoms of addiction.
Even though I have now gotten used to a life without it, I couldn’t help but feel happy at the moment of seeing civilization again.
When Suhyeon encountered the smartphone she had been so eagerly looking forward to, she had one impression.
‘Small.’
A smartphone slightly larger than a child’s hand was too small to be a smartphone.
‘It would be frustrating to play games, watch movies, and watch broadcasts on such a small screen.’
To Suhyun, who was accustomed to screens the size of an adult’s hand, the screen, which was not much different from a feature phone, was similar to the eye of a needle.
As my expectations grew, so did my disappointment.
‘This is a product that needs to be advertised, but I’m only disappointed… The internet is slow, the widget is implemented, but it’s nothing special, and the store is poor. Is this just a feature phone with internet?’
Suhyun suddenly missed her Space S 16+.
It was a phone that was doing well and I had 10 months left on the installment plan to get a new model, but I was saddened by the reality of having to deal with such an old smartphone.
‘I understand that the computer internet is slow, but my smartphone is slow, so I’m crying.’
Even though she was sad, Suhyeon carefully examined her smartphone.
Perhaps because it uses the same Sweetyroid operating system as Mirae, the ‘Space S’ felt less out of place than expected.
Various uses were possible thanks to easy Internet access and the addition of applications through the store.
“…You’re so used to it, you’re so good at it. “Did you use Infinity by any chance?”
“What is that? Infinity Stone?”
“It’s a smartphone that was released before the Space S came out… Don’t you know? “We did really well the year before last.”
The employee, who introduced himself as Assistant Manager Jeong of the Development Department, rambled and talked about Infiniti.
After hearing this, an advertisement came to mind, so Su-hyeon tilted her head.
“Wasn’t that a PDA phone?”
“Ah… it was a smartphone, even though the OS system was different.”
“…I’m nine years old now! “I don’t know much about that.”
Looking at the downcast employee, Su-hyeon quickly put his age first.
After the new year, I am now nine years old.
For him, who was still in the first year of elementary school, age often served as both a weapon and a shield.
“You might not know anything. So what about Space S?”
“Hmm… It’s easy to use, but the widgets are too simple and the screen is small like a flip phone, so it’s actually inconvenient to use as an internet browser. However, it is difficult to read to use a horizontal screen… hehe, Su-hyeon is young, so I don’t know….” Su-
hyeon, who was calmly evaluating the product, laughed out loud when she saw Manager Jeong with a dumbfounded expression.
It’s been a while since I looked at my smartphone, and I noticed a lot of mistakes I didn’t make before.
“no no! That was really nice! “The screen size and the lack of widgets are absolutely necessary!”
However, the person who caught Soo-hyeon, who was trying to evade it somehow, was Deputy Jeong, who was speechless due to shock.
He asked excitedly, holding a pen and notebook.
Even though those who were accustomed to flip phones felt uncomfortable, they could not properly explain what was uncomfortable.
This is because there were no examples as it was a product that was just starting out.
‘I think this would be good.’ ‘Wouldn’t it be nice to add a feature like this?’ Su-hyeon’s cold review was of great help to the development department staff who were thinking and navigating an ambiguous path.
‘Uh um… is it okay to say this?’
Su-hyeon, who had come to film a commercial and was suddenly caught by the development team, rolled her eyes.
I was worried about whether it would be okay to solve this information first and whether there would be a problem by saying in advance a technology that could not be implemented.
‘A lot of things have already changed. It’s not like I’m teaching you techniques.’
Suhyun slowly explained what she knew about smartphones.
Even though it may not be possible to have a screen that is flexible enough to fold or be waterproof, it would be possible to make the screen larger.
It’s not bad that it grows by 0.5 inches every year like in the original history, but it was easier to adapt to the VR eye patch size from the beginning.
“Hey… Soohyun, are you smart? Assistant Manager Jeong fell in love with it.”
“Ah, Team Leader Kim.”
While Su-hyeon was shaking off everything she knew like an alien captured by NASA, the head of Marketing Team 1 suddenly appeared and looked at Su-hyeon with interest.
“Now that I think about it, Soohyun also filmed the first video call phone commercial, right?”
“uh? do you know?”
“then. “Soohyun was so kind to me back then, so I contacted her again this time.”
“ah.”
The team leader smiled and showed the concept for today’s shoot and a rough cut drawn in pencil.
Then I drew a line on the rough cut.
“uh!”
“It’s good to go with the emotional 3Bs, but if you want to make an impact, it’s not a bad idea to focus on information. So let’s not go here and go to B.”
For a moment, I wondered if it was possible to change the concept so easily, but Suhyun nodded quietly.
Whatever the script, he just had to film the commercial perfectly.
* * *
“Teacher Soo-hyeon is telling me to make tteokbokki. What should I do first?”
“Let’s take a look at the supplies first. First….”
“Soohyun, what is the answer to this?”
“It’s 3.”
“Suhyeon, what are you looking at?”
“video lecture!”
“Soohyun, I want to listen to Pink Lollipop’s new song.”
“You can search right now!”
Su-hyeon, with a gentle attitude, listened to each and every word of the whining child next to her.
I had to change my clothes every time a question was asked, but because the location itself was processed using CG, the pace was faster than expected.
‘I’m not Sarah or Vixes…’
Suhyun answered kindly and repeated her lines.
Finding recipes on the Internet, downloading calculator app lectures, and even advertisements for linked music services…
It was simple to explain every single thing you can do with a smartphone, but the functions were so insignificant that I felt a sense of self-destruction.
‘It would be cool if there was at least 360-degree filming.’
After exchanging the last question and answer, he lowered his head and looked at the smartphone screen.
The screen sparkled with the word ‘Mom.’
“mom!”
Soohyun quickly grabbed her smartphone and ran out of the camera, shouting for her mother.
The screen before his eyes showed his counterpart looking at him with an exaggeratedly surprised expression.
“Cut! Good good. Now the final cut!”
The PD, who had a sullen expression on his face when he heard that the concept had changed, urged Suhyun with an excited face.
When the child who was exchanging questions and answers with the desk was taken out of the camera, Soohyun was left alone in front of the green screen.
‘I said I was going to draw a smartphone on the palm of my hand using CG.’
He turned his palm toward the sky with a confident expression.
Suhyun, who was leisurely staring at the front camera, slowly blinked once and smiled at the camera on the side.
The fresh eyes gave off a refreshing atmosphere like lime.
“Space S. Opening a smart era.”
The young yet powerful voice caught on with the ears of adults, just like the voice of a female voice actor playing the role of a boy.
“great! Cut! “Good job!”
About 5 seconds after Soohyun’s line ended, the cut sound sounded.
The faces of the staff members were bright as the filming was completed in one and a half hours.
This is because when child actors participate, it is easy for an unfortunate incident to occur during half-a-day filming that takes place all day long.
“Suhyeon! Well done! Marie did a great job too!”
“no. It’s thanks to Marie’s good work. “Mari, you worked hard.”
“Ugh… no, you’re so cool…”
When Soo-hyun handed the PD’s praise over to Mari, Im Mari, who had been talking in a loud voice in front of the screen, shyly wriggled her body and smiled faintly.
Her red, flushed cheeks were full of vitality.
“The voice actor’s voice will be recorded separately later. “If additional recording is needed during the editing process, we will contact you separately.”
“yes.”
“Hey. Well done, Suhyun. As expected, the future icon of our Taesung Phone… But the last line was a little different, right?”
The head of Marketing Team 1 approached, applauding, and smiled suspiciously as he looked at Suhyun.
The laugh, which ranged between ridicule and ambiguity, somehow resembled that of a raccoon.
“Oh, did you?”
“Yes, the original line was up to Space S. “What you did was cooler.”
If I didn’t like it, I would have NGed it and re-filmed it, so I’m not just saying this empty-handed.
Even though I knew it in my head, the smile on the team leader’s mouth bothered me.
“So, what do you mean?”
“Yes…”
Suhyun looked at the team leader’s mouth nervously.
Although he didn’t cause any particular damage earlier, his attitude subtly scratched a corner of my heart.
“Can I use this in another advertisement?”
However, what Team Leader Kim said next was enough to break down the tense atmosphere.
“…yes?”
Suhyun stared at the team leader with a slightly dumb expression.
For a moment, I didn’t understand what he meant.
“I really liked that line you said. Anyway, we are going to film three episodes in total, one with a child actor concept, one with a male actor, and one with an idol group. “I tried to unify the last line into a simple product name, but the words ‘Opening a smart era’ fit our product perfectly.”
“ah.”
“Will it be okay?”
“That’s…”
Just as Su-hyeon was about to nod her head, she remembered an unusual lawsuit that happened before she returned.
It was a fight between a celebrity who suddenly became a star with just one buzzword and someone who suggested the buzzword in a lawsuit regarding the copyright of a very popular buzzword.
In some ways, it was just a word, but if a lot of money was at stake with that word, it was easy to cause trouble.
‘This could be like that too.’
Even if you aim for buzzwords or phrases that represent a product, you cannot guarantee that they will catch on 100%.
However, it is better to overreact than to allow someone else to covet something and regret it later.
“…I was young! He said he wasn’t supposed to make decisions like that on his own because he was a preschooler! Sangil hyung!”
“ah.”
Su-hyeon called out to Sang-il with a bright expression and an air of ‘I don’t know.’
After the filming was over, the manager who was waiting nearby stepped in between Soo-hyun and the team leader in less than 5 seconds.
“Team Leader Kim. “Our actor is still young, so he discusses details about contracts and proposals with me.”
“…It was just one sentence.”
When Sang-il blocked the space between the two, the team leader’s face, which had always been suspicious, cracked.
Su-hyeon secretly laughed because the intention of putting pressure on her was clearly visible.
