This Life Starts as a Child Actor Chapter 168

In this life, she started as a child (168).

Even though she heard unexpected news on her birthday, Su-hyeon headed to the agency only after the year was over.

This is because it was obvious that it would be inconvenient to visit during a busy period due to the overlap between the year-end settlement and the three broadcasting companies’ postponement schedules.

‘The beginning of the year is as busy as the beginning of the year, but…’

Suhyun expressed her condolences to those who had been devastated and moved to the personal lounge.

It was a bonus to congratulate fellow celebrities I met along the way.

‘Chaemin definitely has an eye for talent.’

Not all actors from Crown were all-rounders like Seohan and Soohyun.

However, everyone had their own unique color and had an aura that caught the attention of others.

If you’re a villain, act like a villain’s wife.

Some may say it’s obvious, but when a certain character is required, actors from Crown are most often mentioned as a priority.

Naturally, she was a frequent candidate for the Supporting Actor Award, and the company had a busy year-end every year to support such actors.

‘I didn’t have as much leisure time this time because I didn’t have a year-end awards schedule.’

Suhyeon was silent for a moment, remembering her busy schedule.

There was no need to go to a major awards ceremony to receive an award, but it was difficult to say that the release schedule, which was concentrated in the winter, was convenient.

“You arrived early.”

“yes. Because it’s vacation, there’s nothing to do. “I don’t even go to academy these days.”

“…that’s a really enviable thing to say.”

Sang-il came in looking more tired than usual and held out several thick folders.

The script for ‘Dear My’, which I mentioned a few days ago, research materials from my maternal family, and other proposals were piled up.

“Is there a lot?”

“Because there was a lot of material that couldn’t be delivered after ‘Snowflake Girl’ was released. However, since most of the information was communicated over the phone, there is nothing to worry about.”

Suhyun listened to the manager’s words in one ear and opened the files one by one, starting from the folder above.

Perhaps ranked in order of importance, the material related to ‘Dear My’ translated into Korean was ranked the highest.

‘There are fewer lines than I expected. Compared to the difficulty of the audition, it’s only a minor role?’

Su-hyeon made a subtle expression after checking the prepared child part script and appearance fee.

As expected, the amount offered by Future Studio was less than one-third of Soohyun’s current ransom.

The scene lasted maybe 10 minutes, and the dialogue was so small that I wondered if I could even speak.

‘No matter how much I feel like a rookie, I have to say that it’s below expectations…’

He subtly twisted the corner of his lips, recalling the video he completed after much effort.

Maybe I assumed the audition difficulty level too high.

“It’s closer to a minor role than the child role of the main character.”

“It is true that there is little merit. First of all, in the case of actors, there are at least two problems.”

“Disadvantages?”

“yes. “First of all, I am a foreigner and a minor.”

“iced coffee.”

Suhyeon understood his point and nodded.

Unlike Korea, where even though there are laws related to child labor, they are not well followed at the front line, the United States has reacted sensitively to child labor, stress management, and exploitation.

It would have been difficult to judge a foreign child whose English and acting skills were only confirmed through video.

‘Of course, the difference is between a country where things that need to be protected are promoted and countries where not protecting them is controversial. If you look here, you can work for eight hours a day, but you have to work five hours, study for three hours, and play for one hour. Play time? ‘What is this?’

Su-hyeon narrowed his eyebrows after checking the sentence ‘one hour of rest and recreation’ written in the original text.

I wasn’t used to an industry that gave separate time for work and play.

“What is playtime here?”

“They say that the United States requires a mandatory break of at least one hour for the welfare of child workers. “Adults also need to receive compulsory education to help children develop their emotions.”

“Oh….”

Su-hyeon, who was feeling disappointed, her eyes lit up again.

If I go back to the beginning and think about it, the purpose of applying for the audition was to check out the Hollywood film industry in advance.

There was no need to sink in the small appearance fee and role.

‘Even if it’s small, I feel that way because my appearance fee is rising rapidly, and compared to the appearance fee of other child actors, it’s still high. Even though the front seats are different, going up to eight places is the same.’

He reflected, realizing that his eyes had risen.

The biggest reason why actors working in Korea go abroad and then return to Korea soon is because of the language barrier and the temperature difference they feel.

They are friendly, but at some point you can feel the distance between them and foreign actors. They have a better level of recognition than newcomers.

There is even a decline in awareness caused by not appearing on Korean broadcasts for a long time.

No matter how important multiplayer is, it is not as good as the original, so the actors returned to Korea.

‘And I like the friendly sweetness of Korean fans, so I gave up instead of trying again in the United States. In Hollywood, there is no ceiling on appearance fees, and between top Korean actors and Hollywood mid-level actors, the former is said to be better in some respects.’

Korea, which is famous in China and Asia, was not a bad market even though the media highlighted glamorous Hollywood stars and talked about their appearance fees.

Realizing that it would be difficult to stand out in Hollywood, they stayed in Korea to boast about their one-time experience.

‘But I’m still aiming for Hollywood!’

Of course, Su-hyeon, who had been learning English conversation since childhood to overcome the language barrier, showed her fighting spirit.

I had a goal to add my name to the Avenue of Stars I saw during my family trip and leave a hand print at the Chinese Theater, but I had no intention of giving up without trying from a young age.

Completely revived, he looked at the remaining contents with great vigor.

The names of producer Alex Morgan, director Hayley Oaks, and Korean-American actor Daniel Park stood out in the list of participating people.

‘I don’t know about Hayley Oaks, but Alex Morgan was a famous director and producer in the future. Daniel Daniel, who adapts well to the needs and achieves above-average scores… Wasn’t this the guy?’

Soo-hyun recalled a character named Daniel Park who appeared in an American series drama.

The popular drama ‘Heaven’s Door’, which lasted until season 5.

The main facilitator of that drama.

And shiny hair.

The actor named Daniel Park that Soo-hyun remembers was an unfortunate person who was attacked by male hormones in his prime in his 30s.

‘You’re in your 20s now… Surely it’s not already? Actually, what kind of teen romance movie would use… as the male lead?’

Su-hyeon thought that she was a fairly awake person.

However, no matter how awake I was, I could not imagine a bald man as the protagonist of a pink movie about campus love.

‘Oh no way. ‘Aye….’

While repeating the thought, “No way,” he searched for Daniel Park on his smartphone.

Only after seeing the thick hair shown in the profile did Suhyun smile brightly and return her gaze to the documents.

“Is something missing? “I confirmed that no data was missing.”

“no. “It’s resolved!”

Suhyeon smiled brightly and quickly read the organized articles.

After the official information was completed, Crown’s own investigation continued with an evaluation of the movie’s box office success and distribution direction.

“uh? “I guess Chaemin doesn’t like this very much?”

Su-hyeon, who had read until the end, looked at the three stars written in the comments on Chae-min’s work and tilted her head.

Chae-min, who was very interested in the actors of her agency, would leave detailed reviews of the works they were eligible to enter.

From works you absolutely want to enter to works you should never enter.

Of all the stars, I have never drawn them without sincerity.

“Ah, I’ll tell you about that separately. “If I were to convey exactly what I heard at the time… I am dissatisfied, but I also don’t like the better alternative, so I allow it, but I still feel like it’s 2% short.”

“…yes?”

Soo-hyeon, unable to fully digest what Sang-il said, asked back in an idiotic voice.

They were obviously talking in Korean, but it was hard to understand.

“To explain this, I must first talk about the president’s childhood, but he never experienced a period of transformation.”

“Ah yes.”

Soo-hyeon, who thought she would only give an appropriate interpretation, was momentarily taken aback by the topic going so far into the past.

It was difficult to know what Chaemin’s transformation had to do with himself.

“So, I didn’t know that your transformation would last that long.”

“…It’s been less than a year?”

“Anyway. So, I also took ‘Snowflake Girl’ with the intention of rowing, but it was a schedule that would put a strain on my neck.”

“Ah, yes….”

“Actually, I carefully selected the following works, but they all contained scenes of yelling or strong emotions that put a strain on the throat, so I cut them all… I also thought about entertainment shows or commercials, but they didn’t fit well with the actor’s personality. I put it on hold because it didn’t fit. But even in Hollywood, I got roles that didn’t have many lines.”

“hmm.”

“If I were to be honest, appearing in this work was almost like a blessing to the actor. Even if it’s the protagonist’s childhood, it’s too short to make an impact, and there’s not a lot of dialogue. “Even in Hollywood, it’s at the level of a minor role, so it can be prey to people who like to bite.”

“is that so.”

Sang-il’s concerns were not something that Su-hyeon had not thought about either.

There are many actors who were excited about appearing in a famous Hollywood movie, but then appeared for only three seconds and then disappeared, making them a laughing stock.

The public doesn’t know the effort the actor put in to make that brief appearance.

People won’t even notice the effort Soo-hyun put in to get the role.

“But it will help you grow as an actor. The Hollywood system is good for broadening one’s horizons as it moves large capital. “If you get used to it from a young age, you won’t be overly nervous when you enter the field as an adult.”

Sang-il, who explained up to that point, passed Chae-min’s evaluation.

Su-hyeon was greeted by a contract translated into Korean and an English contract.

“The choice is up to the actor. “Crown just supports the actor with all its might.”

Even if you pass the audition and are cast, this is before you sign a contract.

Nothing is set in stone and all choices are left to Soo-hyeon.

“I…”

Suhyun pretended to hesitate for a moment and then wrote down her name and date.

There was no hesitation felt in the refreshing movements.

“As expected, I like the challenge. I will be going to America this time with Sang-il. Please take care of me.”

“Sure. Oh, by the way.”

Sang-il, who was laughing at Su-hyeon’s smile, took the folder from Su-hyeon’s hand and untied the part where the documents were tied.

And he handed out the paper on which he had just signed the contract.

The word ‘copy’ stamped in red at the top caught my eye.

“This is a copy.”

“….”

“Because it is important to meet and make a contract like this. Although it is difficult to meet in person because it is overseas, we plan to hold it through a video call at our affiliate, Dishang Korea Studio. “It went well, right?”

“….”

Suhyeon blushed and puffed out her cheeks.

My manager was competent, but very obnoxious.
