This Life Starts as a Child Actor Chapter 144

In this life,

unlike the works I participated in in the past (144), the schedule for ‘Hello Daddy!’, which was nearing its end, was not very leisurely.

Estimated filming period: 78 days.

It was difficult to keep the filming going as planned, considering the limited time to rent a location, limited budget, limited editing schedule, promotion, and release date.

In particular, the timing of release is important for low-budget films due to their small scale, so the director and production team put a lot of effort into maintaining the schedule.

‘Actors and staff are divided proportionally.’

Su-hyeon looked at Seo-han and Horim, who were in the middle of filming.

A man who has put away all his early manners and lives in childishness and arrogance, and a woman who is consistently four-dimensional and surprisingly personable.

The key point in the scene was how they got along even though they were only talking about themselves.

“You’ve been very lonely, aren’t you kind?”

“Put this aside… ah.”

“Isn’t there a lot of ad-libbing by actor Jang Ho-rim?”

“It suits Yura well… Plus, actor Seohan Lee is accepting it well.”

When Horim, who plays ‘Yura’, hugged Seohan, Seohan, who resisted for a moment, leaned on Horim like a cat that was attacked under the chin and was purring.

Although it was unscripted, the two unfolded the romance between ‘Yura’ and ‘Jejin’ without any sense of discomfort.

The comical ad-libs created through meticulous character analysis added additional fun to the heartwarming movie.

‘You know that feeling. huh.’

Su-hyeon, who had experience changing lines and even revising the script at will during the filming of ‘Praise’, knew well why Horim’s ad-libs were bad.

A partner who responds appropriately even if you say lines or actions that are not in the script.

The situation where she could 130% express the character she analyzed must have drawn her in like a drug.

‘He’s so reassuring that his words and actions run out of guidelines.’

Even among veteran actors, there were some who enjoyed improvisation and irregularities.

However, such people instinctively calculated through their own actions how the other person would behave and how much the director would allow, and then translated them into their lines and actions.

Most of the ad-libs that focused solely on one’s own greed ended in filming delays or inconveniences.

‘I hope you don’t develop bad habits, Horim. I’m accepting this because it’s really Seohan’s brother…’

Seohan was generous to those who were motivated and worked hard.

As long as it was not at the level of absurdity, he took the character analyzed by the other person seriously and did not spare any advice accordingly.

However, there were not only friendly seniors like Seohan in the industry.

There were definitely some actors who were displeased with their assertive juniors, and there were also those who responded with no response to ad-libs that were overflowing with greed.

In particular, when drawing a line because ‘directing and scripting are the domain of the director and writer,’ actors with less experience but who were not faithful to the script were discouraged.

‘When it comes to performance, the difference is whether you stick to the score or focus on technique and interpretation. ‘I can’t say either side is wrong.’

Because it is a matter of each person’s perspective and taste, Suhyun adjusted the level of ad-libs while observing the other person.

There were times when I improvised my lines or actions to respond to bad manners with bad manners, but I basically followed the script.

‘If you want your body to move as it should when you really need it, it’s better to be steady in general.’

Even so, it’s not that I don’t envy Horim, who freely plays ‘Yura’, which he created himself.

It’s been a while since I got to work together with Seohan, but I was sometimes upset because I felt like I wasn’t taking advantage of the opportunity.

‘Even if the two of us had edited out almost all the parts where the father and son bickered… it wasn’t enough.’

When I think about it at the end, I feel sad.

While Soo-hyeon was in a state of subtle dissatisfaction, the filming of the scene ended.

After the next scene, Seo-han disappeared to change his costume, and Horim, who still had some time left, came to Su-hyeon’s side.

“It seems like summer is finally here.”

Horim pulled an empty chair and sat down, fanning himself with his hand to cool off the heat.

Maybe it was because of the heat, but my once white cheeks had a red tinge to them.

“Sister, please eat this.”

“Oh, thank you. “Ugh, it’s cool.”

Horim put the water bottle given by Suhyeon to the back of his neck and trembled, but did not take the bottle off.

As he watched her enjoying the coldness, he slowly opened his mouth.

“I liked the ad-lib earlier.”

“Ahaha thank you. I kept thinking about Yura because it was my first role. I wonder what kind of kid Yura is and how she behaves. Of course, all of this was possible because senior Seohan and the other actors accepted it.”

“ah.”

Suhyeon stared at her with round eyes because she didn’t expect her to mention the hard work of the people around her.

A hand that almost touched Suhyeon’s head passed by.

“Thank you too, Suhyun. “For accepting me even when I act unexpectedly sometimes.”

“no. That’s because my older sister’s actions and lines matched Yura’s. “I think you really worked hard to understand Yura.”

Soo-hyeon responded back without refusing the praise time.

Some people might say that it is pretentious to see people only complimenting each other, but the act of exchanging kind words lightened the atmosphere and mood.

‘If my sister knows, there’s no need to tell her.’

Su-hyeon, who was about to say that the ad-libs were too frequent, kept her words short.

There was no need to tell people to be careful when they already knew and appreciated the hard work of those around them.

“Anyway, I think senior Seohan is really great. I thought you would be embarrassed when I hugged you this time. But you reacted like Jejin right away.”

“that’s right. “When I filmed a drama in the past, I changed the behavior instructions and they responded accordingly.”

“Wow, did you do that?”

“Yes and…”

Su-hyeon and Horim chatted for a while about the topic of letters.

As if competing to see who had more episodes, he brought up an anecdote between himself and Seohan and nodded.

The way the two treated the person they admired was very similar.

“I really think senior Lee Seo-han is perfect….”

No, the only one that ended in admiration was Su-hyeon, and Ho-rim’s admiration was mixed with other emotions.

“My brother is perfect.”

“Right, right? I felt like I was lacking a bit while trying to figure out the character, so I asked my senior for help. I was very nervous, wondering if I might be rude to my senior, but you kindly stayed up all night to teach me something, right? “I asked if I was tired because I had a schedule the next day, but I couldn’t just leave my junior asking for help, so I spent the whole day in the practice room helping him with his vocalization and correcting his gaze…”

Ho-rim was with Seo-han with the eyes of a dreamy girl. Things have been resolved.

From a third party’s perspective, it was nothing more than a Spartan education, but Horim accepted it all as pure kindness.

From Seohan’s point of view, it was not wrong as it was a favor towards his junior.

‘i envy you. I’ve never practiced all night long either. No, it’s impossible since I have to go to bed at 10 o’clock, but I’m still a little jealous, and I don’t want to give up my height…’

Su-hyeon looked at Horim with complicated eyes, feeling a subtle dilemma.

At this moment, I envied her for not having to worry about growing taller.

‘Anyway, Sister Horim has a huge crush on Brother Seohan, right? It’s a good time.’

There was a faint feeling in Suhyeon’s gaze as he looked at her chattering excitedly.

It was a bit of a funny look for Suhyeon, who had never officially dated anyone before.

‘I didn’t have much free time during my school days, and after returning from the military, I had to quickly become a trainee and struggle as a man, so I didn’t have time to date. Uh um. If you think about it that way, does the same apply to Horim? No, isn’t it actually dangerous? ‘You’re a popular idol, right?’

He thought for a moment and then smiled.

I liked talking about Seohan, but it was bothersome to consider other people’s dating situations.

‘They’re both adults, so they’ll take care of themselves.’

While I was listening to Horim’s words about Seohan while having unusual thoughts, the filming of Seohan and Gyul began.

Just as people have many sides, ‘Jejin’, played by Seo Han, also shows many sides to many people.

Although it was only a character in a movie, the role that met a good actor was as vivid as a life.

“I think Juyeon is not Juyeon for nothing, including you and my senior.”

“Me?”

“huh. You perfectly capture the character you want to express with just the lines in the script, right? “I can’t do that, so I don’t feel like I’m ad-libbing.”

Su-hyeon, who was impressed by Seo-han’s acting, turned her head to look at Horim at the unexpected remark.

In many ways, she seemed sincere as she muttered without taking her eyes off Seohan.

‘It captures everything about the character with just the lines… That’s a harsh compliment.’

Suhyun glanced down.

I received praise dozens of times and received awards, but the sincere praise coming from the front made me feel a little heated.

‘There’s nothing wrong with launching it alone, but having someone else do it for you is a bit much. I’m kind of happy that the prefix ‘for a child actor’ has been dropped…. Well, now I have to get used to this. I was also a candidate for the Best Actor Award.’

Suhyun, who once again confirmed her growth, made a small promise.

I wanted to make that kind of sentiment normal.

As the filming of ‘Hello Daddy!’ came to an end, there were other people who got busy.

It was a management support department that analyzed and organized the trends and box office potential of works received by Crown actors.

Since both Soo-hyeon and Seo-han are active in the production industry, the staff arranged a schedule so that the actors could provide materials for their next work whenever they wanted.

“Jecheol, add this to Suhyeon’s file as well.”

“president!”

“It doesn’t have much of a skeleton, but I believe you will flesh it out well. got it? “It’s something I worked hard to get, so of course I should.”

“Hey, this…?”

Jecheol, who was in charge of Suhyeon in the management support department, stared at the piece of paper handed to him by Chaemin with shaking eyes.

An audition proposal with most of the information marked as confidential.

Aside from the fact that the organizer was the Korean branch of the Willy Dishong Company, known as the world-renowned media group and cultural empire, it was extremely poor, and that meant working overtime of the season.

The fact that Chaemin handed it over separately meant that he had put a lot of effort into making it possible for him to implicitly choose this work.

It is better to cut out excessive content, but it took considerable effort to inflate inaccurate information without lies.

“Why are you like this? When did you see me taking away incentives for effort?”

“No…”

Jecheol smiled awkwardly and answered that he understood.

It’s sad that they give me a lot of money but don’t give me time to spend it.

However, he couldn’t find a company that provides welfare through money, so he went to the General Affairs Department today to receive a confirmation letter for overtime work.

The audition proposal, which took someone’s effort and time, faced difficulties from the beginning.

“…Travel?”

“With your family.”

This is because Su-hyeon already had her own plan.
