This Life Starts as a Child Actor Chapter 132

This life is from a child role (132)

‘Even though it’s a place I visit every time I have work, it’s kind of fun to go this way.’

After returning home and finishing dinner, Suhyeon recalled the events of today.

Although the equipment and sets were familiar, the scene I saw through experiential learning was quite different from when I visited as a celebrity.

‘The kids were disappointed to see only an empty studio, but I liked it… and the explanations about angles and filming were quite interesting.’

He enjoyed the last training session more than the empty set.

A PD from the video production department took the microphone, and the producer’s intentions and thoughts were similar to the actor’s point of view, but there were differences.

‘Should I say that I formalized the sensations I felt while looking at the screen?’

What Soohyun learned was how to approach the camera as an actor.

How can I make it look more dramatic and which angle will look more sad?

Since it is possible to check what is reflected on the camera in real time, Soo-hyun has been analyzing her acting more objectively.

The experience and talent he gained while working as an idol and a child actor allowed him to have a broader perspective than most actors.

‘But the producer’s area was different. Feels like psychology plus math?’

If an actor is a person who creates scenes, a PD is a person who collects scenes with intention.

Their eyes were focused on the audience rather than the work, and they focused on the big picture that encompassed the whole.

‘Well, there were some differences from what I felt while filming… but isn’t that what theory is all about? The same goes for the actors’ acting.’

Su-hyeon, who works in the entertainment industry, realized that the textbook and philosophical explanations of the video production department PD were not followed in the field.

Even though he knew, he quietly nodded instead of mentioning the difference.

Because things in the world often don’t go according to the manual.

Rather, it was interesting to know what the producers were pursuing.

‘Later, when I have time, I want to learn it properly.’

Today, due to the adults’ attitude, the distance between them and the children, which had been gradually narrowed, became longer again, but it was not all bad things.

In particular, becoming friends with Seonhu was the greatest achievement he had experienced today.

‘I never thought I’d be able to have that level of conversation with an ordinary 13-year-old… I have a relationship with someone who doesn’t care that I’m an actor, so I should cherish it.’

Su-hyeon, who briefly thought of her new friend who was obsessed with social networking, came to her senses and took out the script for ‘Hello, Daddy!’

Although they almost appeared together as father and son, not all scenes were like that.

There were surprisingly many parts that had to be filmed alone, and it was more efficient to practice those parts alone.

‘There’s really not much left until the script practice schedule. I heard that casting has been completed, but what kind of actor will you be?’

Su-hyeon suppressed her pounding heart and laid out the part to practice.

In order for all actors to enjoy the meeting, they had to prepare thoroughly.

* * *

The script practice schedule for ‘Hello Daddy!’ coincided with Su-hyeon’s spring break.

To be precise, it was a small consideration given by the film production company for the young actor who was also continuing his studies.

‘Not bad from the start.’

Even though it was not a big deal, Suhyeon was glad for their consideration.

Taking care of child actors means that the production team has more leeway.

In his experience, sites that take good care of their child actors are less likely to rush the schedule or overwork the staff.

‘It means that accidents will decrease and a moderately relaxed atmosphere will be created… Um, is there anyone there yet? Brother Seohan said he would arrive on time.’

Suhyeon arrived about an hour early and entered the conference room, saying hello to the staff.

In front of about twenty single desks arranged in a rectangular shape, there were A4 sheets of paper with roles and actors’ names written on them.

‘The spacing is wide. I need to raise my voice a little.’

Suhyeon passed by the bustling staff and headed to a desk that was lower in height than the other desks.

As I sat down in the chair that suited my height, I felt like I was sitting in a classroom being cleaned.

‘Because the desk is a school desk, I feel like I need to do something to help… Since there is a drawer, I feel like I need to put textbooks in…’

While he was looking at the empty drawer, someone approached Su-hyeon.

A beautiful woman with a neat and clean appearance, her eyes were filled with a faint kindness as she looked at Suhyun.

“hi.”

“hello.”

“My name is Jang Ho-rim, who plays Cha Je-jin’s girlfriend Seo Yu-ra. Please take care of me.”

“I’m Kang Soo-hyun, who plays Lee Jin-woo! “Please take care of me, sister.”

“…Fu ahaha. Okay.”

Horim, who was watching Soo-hyeon with a pastel-colored smile, burst out laughing at some point and nodded.

She covered her mouth gently and looked neat even while laughing uncontrollably.

“Oh sorry. “It was just like what I heard, so I started laughing without even realizing it.”

Horim wiped his eyes and offered an apology.

Laughing at first sight was objectively rude, but perhaps because of the soft voice, it didn’t feel like an argument.

“I’m into platonic love. “Idol group like Gina.”

“Uh….”

“Gina, who came from the commercial, kept bringing up your story and I was secretly feeling a close relationship with her. But when you did the same thing I heard from Gina, I ended up laughing without even realizing it. Are you embarrassed? I’m really sorry.”

“no. are you okay.”

Upon hearing that they were members of the same group, Suhyeon took a quick look at Horim.

Although she pretends to be neat and have common sense, I was actually worried that she might be in the same class as Gina.

‘Seeing as how she apologized right away, unlike Gina, she seems to have common sense…’

When she opens her mouth, she is reduced to a pitiful beauty, but when Gina stays still, she shows off her unrivaled beauty.

Horim may only resemble a daffodil on the outside but be different on the inside.

“So I auditioned to work with senior Seohan Lee.”

Contrary to concerns, Horim was a very normal person.

In particular, I communicated very well with Su-hyeon in that I liked Seo-han.

“And it stuck?”

“huh. The fact that the competition rate wasn’t that high also played a part… and because I’ve been practicing acting all the time.”

Horim originally wanted to be an actor, not an idol.

He is currently enrolled in the Department of Theater and Film, and before becoming an idol trainee, he often appeared as a supporting actor in independent films.

“But now that I’m 23, I’m starting to get worried. “You have to raise your profile at least until you turn 30 in order to reach your prime or whatever, but no matter how you pass the audition, your movie will be rejected or you will be taken over by a celebrity belonging to a large agency… In the end, you chose to build awareness as an idol and get decent roles.”

As she was talking about her situation, she looked embarrassed, saying she was talking about everything to her child.

He seemed ashamed of using the side road to get there quickly even though there were many other ways to get there, such as theater.

‘Being an idol isn’t easy either…’

Soo-hyun, who spent four years as a failed idol and barely made a splash through acting, knew that what she said was easier said than done.

Because not all idols want to become popular.

Judging by the fact that he viewed other occupations as means, he was not pure white either.

‘The reason I got into acting was because I was struggling to somehow raise the level of recognition that I couldn’t get as an idol.’

The only difference was which side was rooted, but Su-hyeon and Horim’s actions were similar.

Horim wants to act, but can’t find the opportunity, so he hopes for the recognition and opportunity he lacks through idol activities.

Soohyun used to be an idol, but turned to acting to keep the group alive.

Although their mindsets were a little different, there were many similarities in the paths they walked.

‘I like Seohan, and there’s some kind of internal intimacy that’s not a joke…?’

Now that the future has been erased, Soo-hyun is an actor who is closer to pure love than anyone else.

Since I started acting at a very young age, I have always insisted on acting without straying into other paths.

However, memories of his days as an idol remained in his mind, and he understood much of Horim’s feelings.

“If you’re having a hard time, I’ll help you!”

Because of this, Soo-hyeon cheered her on by showing off her usual tricks.

He did not regret becoming an actor and branching out into acting.

However, deep down in a corner of his heart, there was an assumption that he would have had if he had the talent to be an idol.

‘The boss was a good person, even if he was condescending, and the manager was also a good person, and the members were also good people. If I hadn’t died like that, I would have worked as an idol and actor instead of an actor… I didn’t know that because I had no regrets about the idol profession itself, but surprisingly, I also had regrets.’

So, I hope Horim succeeds as the actor he wanted to be from the beginning.

Soo-hyeon did not ignore the vicarious satisfaction she felt for the secretly loved one.

“Oh Soohyun and Mr. Horim. “You came early.”

“hello.”

“hello!”

“You both seem full of energy. Please take care of yourself today. haha.”

The third person to appear was Lee Han-young, the director of ‘Hello Daddy!’

With a sad smile, he asked about his impressions of the work or the character.

To some, it may be a family comedy commonly released in the spring, but to Han Young, who wrote the screenplay, it was a work of affection.

“hello. “This is Oh Gyul, who plays Cha Je-jin’s manager, Kim Ji-jin.”

“Hello….”

Starting with director Han Young, actors who played supporting and minor roles arrived at the scene one after another.

As it was a low-budget film, the number of actors gathered did not exceed ten, but the atmosphere was cheerful.

“Forgive me for being late.”

“No, it’s just on time. “Welcome, Mr. Seohan.”

When the long clock hand pointed to exactly 12, the main character, Lee Seo-han, finally appeared.

Even though he arrived on time, the expressions on the faces of those sitting relaxed when they saw him apologizing first.

‘If the lead actor is not picky, on-set activities become easier. Anyway… I’m happy that Seohan is welcomed, but I’m not happy that I’m being treated like a supporting actor.’

Su-hyeon was both proud and pouty as her gaze was completely focused on Seo-han.

The proportions of Jejin and Jinwoo showed a slight difference, approximately 55 and 40.

It’s safe to say that it’s a double lead role.

However, the actual feeling was that it only felt like Joo-yeon and Jo Joo-yeon, and Su-hyeon was dissatisfied with that.

‘My career is now at a level that cannot be ignored, but that is always ignored when we meet for the first time.’

Although she was called a monster child actor in Chungmuro and broadcasting, in reality, Soo-hyeon was only a 13-year-old and 158 cm tall kid.

As a result, those who were not exposed to Soo-hyeon’s acting often implicitly treated him like a child.

‘Then I should tell you that I am also an actor.’

After completing her self-introduction in accordance with the order, Su-hyeon looked at the actors with her winning eyes.

It was time for the practice that had been overlooked because it was not enough to shine.
