This Life Starts as a Child Actor Chapter 177

This life is from a child role (177)

[Hello, Katie’s friend?]

[My name is Suhyun Kang. This time I got to film with Daniel.]

[Oh! How amazing at such a young age?]

Samuel shook hands and expressed his admiration.

I know it’s a rude greeting, but I didn’t dislike the favor from my favorite actor.

[I am Samuel Hammington. The name is a little old, but I’m still in my 20s. What should I call my little friend?]

[Please call me Sue. Everyone finds it difficult to pronounce Hyun.]

[How do you spell it?]

[Su Hyun Hyun.]

[Ah, you use Hyun after it like a middle name. Are you Korean?]

[Yes.]

[As expected. south korea. Right? Taesung Space. Bibimbap.]

Samuel surprisingly had a lot of knowledge about Korea.

Some of it was not Korean culture, but rather Korean culture created by Koreans living abroad, but he enjoyed the conversation by learning about the mistakes and differences.

[You really know a lot.]

[I am a master of Korean culture. Katie! Who am I?]

[Momster?]

[No, that’s not it!]

Samuel, who brightened the mood with an appropriate smugness, spoke to Katie and naturally moved on to another topic.

Unlike the clingy sepia-colored atmosphere, he was an atmosphere maker who played well with children and acted as a lubricant.

‘I never thought I’d be close to Daniel because he’s an actor who doesn’t mention his personal life in the future… I never thought he’d be this friendly with me.’

The sudden situation is embarrassing, but not bad.

Suhyeon gazed at Samuel with heated gaze, hoping to become close friends at this point.

Putting everything else aside, I wanted to get an autograph first.

‘I’m not that famous of an actor yet, so I think I need an excuse, um…’

While he was torn between fan sentiment and a natural approach, Daniel, who had just finished preparing, called people over.

The grill in the backyard was filled with the smell of grilling meat, and salads, bread, and pasta were laid out in a buffet style on the table.

[What is this?]

[Spinach salad mixed with kimchi. It’s spicy and delicious.]

[Koreans seem to really like spicy food.]

[Isn’t it delicious?]

[It’s okay to whet your appetite.]

Localized Korean food such as California rolls and orange chicken drew positive responses from customers.

Because it was mixed appropriately, it seemed to be easier to approach to foreigners than regular Korean food with traditional tastes.

‘If you look at it that way, K-pop, which was once in a while, took over the Billboard charts after understanding America to some extent. Hmm, it’s Korean yet appropriate localization….’

Su-hyeon took a bite of raw spinach and cabbage while thinking about how she could become a competitive and in-demand actor.

A unique combination that seemed like it wouldn’t work, but surprisingly went well together.

[I’m going to play the piano! Please use Christie’s Jell-O.]

[It’s not Jell-O, it’s cello. And I’m eating.]

[I’m good at it! I got an award!]

Katie, who was eating meat with her face covered in grease, suddenly insisted that she wanted to play the piano.

As is often the case, only Christine, the eldest daughter of the couple next door, tried to dissuade Katie.

[Katie, I want to play the guitar together.]

[Samuel, let’s play together too! I’m good at it!]

[Instead, how about finishing your meal, filling your stomach, and then giving it a try? Everyone is so hungry right now that they probably don’t have the energy to listen.]

[Really, Dad? Can’t you hear? Are you hungry?]

[Yes.]

Samuel skillfully thwarted Katie’s stubbornness.

Daniel also matched the rhythm with a sullen expression, and the innocent child was deceived by the exaggerated expressions of the dirty adults.

After hearing that she was likely to starve to death, she picked up a piece of meat with a serious look on her face.

[Why do people starve to death? (why are people starving?)]

and asked a strangely philosophical question.

[Hahaha.]

[Katie seems like a scholar.]

Even though the adults burst into laughter, Katie was serious in her own way.

Thanks to her straightforward understanding of idiomatic expressions, meal times were friendly throughout the day.

* * *

[Then there will be the 21st Katy concert.]

[Wow.]

After finishing their meal, they moved to the basement where the piano was placed.

Perhaps because a separate dehumidifier was installed, it didn’t feel humid even though it was underground.

[Does this seem to happen often?]

Christine, who had brought a cello from home, was sitting next to Katie and tuning her instrument.

Samuel also brought the guitar that was standing in the corner and checked its tone.

‘Aren’t you using someone else’s home instrument too proudly…?’

In the basement, which was decorated as a studio, various musical instruments and records were placed.

A number of chairs and music stands were arranged as if taking the ensemble into consideration.

[I like listening to Daniel play. People who share a hobby often gather together.]

Grace, who was applauding softly in response, looked at Suhyeon with an expression that said she had remembered something.

Her eyes sparkled like a girl’s.

[Didn’t Soohyun play the violin while acting as Rio? I think it was an actual performance.]

[Yes. It’s true that you played it yourself. The recording is….]

[Oh, that went well! Then do you want to join me? There’s also a violin.]

‘The recording was done by someone else and in reality, there were a lot of mistakes because it was only hand-synchronized.’ Soo-hyeon, who was about to laugh, rolled her eyes at the sudden suggestion.

The stares that came with the proposal were a bit stinging.

‘Ensemble… with Katie and the kid next door… with Samuel?’

Su-hyeon felt cold when she thought that Samuel was among the members.

It is Samuel, who later becomes a world-famous star.

The opportunity to collaborate with such a star was not common.

‘It’s a bit ironic that it’s a musical instrument rather than acting, but so what? ‘I guess this is how we become friends.’

After completing the calculation, Soohyun nodded and Grace happily handed her a full-size violin.

It was not an expensive product, perhaps for public use, but the tone was soft thanks to good maintenance.

[Oh, is this a new member?]

[Welcome.]

Those who settled down to watch welcomed Suhyeon’s joining.

Samuel stretched out his hand and asked for a high five, and the boy next door looked at him nervously, gulping.

[But what song are you playing? Sight-reading is not my specialty.]

[Twinkle, twinkle little star!]

[That’s right. Don’t be too nervous. It’s a game to have fun. If you don’t remember the note, it’s okay to skip it for a moment. You can just do the accent.]

The ensemble, named ‘Katie Concert’, had a free atmosphere that Suhyun had never experienced before.

In some ways, it was less formal than street performance.

‘Anyway, you’re a little star… I wonder if you received the Twinkle Star Award for playing this song?’

Suhyun estimated the difficulty of the song based on Katie’s age.

twinkle Twinkle Little Star. 12 variations on the theme of the original song “Oh Mother, Please Listen” in C major.

The melody is easy, but the difficulty increases as chords and guitar techniques are added, and it was often played at famous concerts.

‘Katie would play a melody at the level of a children’s song. There are so many different instruments, I think it’ll be unique.’

Thinking it would be a fun challenge, Suhyeon placed the tuned violin between her chin and shoulder.

As the screens that reflected me appeared one by one, my motivation increased.

‘…Sangil also heard it. ‘I have to do well.’

Su-hyeon found Sang-il holding his smartphone horizontally and strengthened his resolve.

I don’t know if they were recording it to show to anyone, but it was clear that they would make fun of them if they made a mistake.

‘I won’t see that again.’

While he was burning with a strange competitive spirit, Katie started playing.

As expected, she followed the simple melody and Christine, the girl next door, followed along as accompaniment.

Samuel also matched the melody and harmony without taking over Katie’s performance.

‘Aha, it’s like this.’

Su-hyeon, who got a feel for the others’ performances, made a cool bow.

He has been honing his skills ever since he returned.

I thought it would be suitable for this type of play.

* * *

[I can’t do this anymore!]

[Good job, Katie. [Christine did a good job too.]

Katie, who played the same note two or three times, stretched out her hands and declared giving up.

It was a successful performance thanks to the child’s stamina.

Adults who were watching also encouraged the performers with generous applause.

[You said you were good at it? You’ve been playing for a long time, right?]

[Yes, about 8 years.]

[Wow, you’ve been playing for a long time. The cute little princess seems to be having a hard time, and the other princesses seem to want to quit as well… Can you two do one more song?]

Samuel asked Su-hyeon secretly as he watched Christine organize her instruments.

It was probably not enough to only play for 45 minutes.

The regret was the same for Suhyeon, so he nodded without hesitation.

[Deal. Is it okay if I choose it this time?]

[Okay, okay.]

[Is a somewhat unique song okay?]

[Unique?]

[Yes, it’s a Korean movie soundtrack.]

[That’s interesting. First, can you tell me the melody?]

Upon hearing the explanation that it was a Korean movie OST, Samuel showed curiosity and asked for a solo performance.

There was no reason why she couldn’t do it, so Suhyun confidently performed the main song ‘To My Beloved Child’ from ‘Shadow Road’.

It was a long time since I played in front of so many people, so I felt new.

‘I’ve performed in front of my parents many times… but this opportunity is also nice.’

As time passed, Soo-hyun showed off her playing skills much more skillfully than when she was filming ‘Shadow Road’.

The emotions and techniques used here and there were smooth and without any unnecessary details.

[oh. That’s amazing.]

[You’re good at it.]

[What song is it? Is it good?]

When Suhyeon’s performance ended, those gathered were happy and applauded.

When I explained that it was a song inserted into a Korean music film, everyone showed interest and asked about the title.

[Okay, shall we do it together this time?]

[Good.]

Suhyeon and Samuel’s ensemble was also great.

Samuel seemed to have memorized the song just by hearing it once, and followed Suhyun’s performance by matching the points.

The two completed the song by clashing here and there, like a briquette song played on a single piano.

[Soo I really like you. Do you have a number that works in the US?]

[Because it’s a temporary number. But I do face books.]

[Then let’s make friends.]

[Okay. However, there is one condition.]

After finishing the performance, Samuel, who was very excited, looked at Suhyeon at the word “requirement.”

Su-hyeon, who was looking at him with a flushed face, held out a small notebook with a smile on her face.

[Would you mind giving me an autograph?]

Never forget your goal.

This was the creed that Suhyeon followed after his return.

[Of course.]

Samuel burst out laughing at the request that popped out in a flash and scribbled his signature on the paper.

A refreshing signature was placed on top of the notebook.

[Now, friend, accept it.]

[Yes.]

[Samuel! number! This time, Laura will play!]

Even after Suhyun’s performance, the small recital did not end.

Those who were moderately excited by the mixture of alcohol and music showed off their skills and livened up the atmosphere.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“Thank you, brother.”

Su-hyeon, who was watching the performance with people, took the glass of water handed to him by Sang-il and quenched his thirst.

The cool water gave me a moderate sense of refreshment.

“Hyung, I filmed a video earlier.”

“It’s been a while since an actor played like this.”

“Nothing much… What did you talk about with Daniel? “It seemed like he was talking about something with Samuel.”

“iced coffee.”

After the performance, Su-hyeon pointed out Sang-il’s suspicious behavior.

I guess it was because I met Daniel and his wife, the couple next door, and Samuel one after another.

“I asked if I could post the video I just filmed on YouTube. “I also explained that it was Crown’s formula.”

“…yes?”

“And I gratefully received permission. “Ah, since the actor’s promotion is under our control, you know that we can omit the actor’s consent as long as it is a video or photo that does not damage his image, right?”

“….”

“The public relations team said they would edit it appropriately and upload it… oh, it’s already been uploaded.”

“brother…?”

Su-hyeon called Sang-il as the pace was difficult to keep up with.

Sang-il, who thought of using it as a publicity while he was hanging out with people, and the public relations team member, who quickly edited the video he received and uploaded it to the Internet, were so fast that it was scary.

‘It’s not that I don’t like it as an actor. No, I thought it was okay for a moment, but…’

He felt strangely dizzy and stuck his head out to the screen that Sang-il was looking at.

The number of views goes up every time you refresh. The number of comments increases proportionally.

“Some people recognize Samuel. Congratulations on reaching 3,000.”

“….”

Su-hyeon was silent as he looked at the torrent in front of him.

The swirl in the teacup was too fast.
