This Life Starts as a Child Actor Chapter 213

This life is from a child role (214)

“Wow, how is that possible at that age?”

“That’s right. “I thought he had an age advantage and had a bit of a bubble… but there’s a reason he’s recognized in Chungmuro.”

“I feel a bit bitter about what I have done until this age.”

Su-hyeon, who stopped by the bathroom, noticed the actors talking in front of the vending machine and took a step back.

This is because I noticed that the topic of conversation in the ‘young age’ part was myself.

“Senior Seol Kyeong-man and I work well together…”

“Still, it’s a bit annoying. “When auditioning, all the people whose previous work overlapped with her were rejected.”

“Oh, that… honestly, it seems like abuse of power, but it’s right to get caught in this situation. It’s awkward to call someone “hyung or nuna” and someone else “mister.” Because of that, even staff members who are familiar to me seem to use honorifics.”

Suhyeon, who was listening to compliments directed at me, hid a little more when an intimate topic she didn’t know about came up.

He felt the momentum of gossip and was alert.

“Ha Tae-kyung, who stayed until the final audition with me, also failed. The kid who talked about meeting the director and Kang Soo-hyun during . “Thanks to you, I became a successful person… but Ha Tae-kyung’s failure probably had something to do with him, right?”

When capital is invested, roles are bound to be filled with people with some reputation and track record rather than cheap newcomers or unproven actors.

‘Yongma’ was not much different.

Some roles, such as the main character ‘Yunho’ and the main character’s grandfather ‘Mr. Park’, were filled with established and reliable actors without auditions.

However, as they said, there were very few actors who had a close relationship with Soo-hyeon.

‘I know. There is no one other than Teacher Seol or Seorah.’

Since it’s been 10 years, there are many supporting actors that Su-hyun has met.

Due to the nature of supporting actors who have a certain image, there is a specific genre that they focus on, and Soo-hyun, who has played various roles and genres, has played many supporting roles.

The 10-year network that has expanded like that did not overlap in this work, as those who are talking about now say.

‘I can’t say that controversial people or underachieving people were cast, but… Hmm, maybe it’s not a coincidence and it’s really because of me?’

Just because actor A specializes in the role of a wife does not mean that A is the only actor who specializes in the role of a wife.

So, we cannot rule out the possibility that ‘it happened that way’, but the coincidence was so big that it left Soo-hyeon with doubts.

“But don’t you think he’s a good kid?”

“You don’t even know that. There are so many kids on this floor who only have skills but have abandoned their personality. Hey, do you think a child who has been in the entertainment industry since the age of five received proper character education? “I see that even that little girl is showing signs of discomfort…”

“You’re having an interesting conversation.”

Just as the two were getting heated, a familiar voice came between them.

The voice was so familiar that Suhyeon held his breath and pricked up his ears.

“Hmm. Who are you.”

“This is the manager of actor Kang Soo-hyun, who you were talking about just now. “I had no intention of engaging in a free conversation, but you spoke of the rumors as if they were real.”

“Oh, that’s…”

“Why are you eavesdropping on other people?”

Unlike the man who felt awkward, the person who slandered Su-hyeon and Seo-ra became angry.

It followed the rule of argument that the loud and shameless person wins, but the opponent was bad.

“It seems like they are asking you to listen and empathize with people talking in the hallways and even in front of the vending machines.”

“…Don’t worry about the actors’ business and just go. Is there no freedom of speech in Korea? Not even a single doubt. People are just randomly calling people managers of famous actors. It is not an infringement on the right to speak freely. yes?”

“well. It’s your right to speak. That’s funny. But Cha Jin-kyung.”

Sang-il, who spoke in a calm tone, called out the actor who disparaged Soo-hyeon and Seo-ra.

The manager remembered the name, which Suhyun didn’t know, so naturally.

“When it comes to abuse of power at the agency, I think it’s Cha Jin-kyung’s problem. “The reason why actor Ha Tae-kyung was rejected was because Cha Jin-kyung’s agency lobbied.”

“uh?”

“Who is it? uh!”

At Sang-il’s bombshell remark, the person next to Jin-kyung let out an idiotic noise and Jin-kyung lost his temper.

The actor, who was a bystander, looked at Jin-kyung with an angry expression because it was clear which side was true just by his attitude.

“Like Cha Jin-kyung, this is something I just tried. “In Korea, you have the right to speak freely.”

“….”

“And Cha Jin-kyung? Just because the names are less organized doesn’t make things difficult for our actors. It’s just embarrassing for the people around me. Above all, our actor is someone who will maintain his leading role with his acting skills.”

Sang-il spoke kindly with a tone of laughter.

Suhyun, who was listening to the conversation from a corner, carefully rubbed her forearm.

While deceiving people with words was his specialty, slowly uncovering people’s weaknesses by revealing information he knew was Sang-il’s bad hobby.

The quality was even worse in that they talked when there were people around them rather than one-on-one.

‘I’ve only seen him a few times over the years… but Sang-il is not a person with a good personality.’

Jin-kyung, who was fuming, probably thought it would be disadvantageous to stay longer, turned around and disappeared.

As he headed in the opposite direction, the other actor who was watching also quietly left the spot.

“Then, actor, please let me know how long you will be there.”

“…did you know?”

“If someone who said they were going to the bathroom doesn’t come back, you can’t miss it.”

Su-hyeon, who was in the corner, appeared at Sang-il’s call.

The situation is over and I should just pretend I didn’t know this was happening and disappear, but his manager was too quick to notice.

“Why are I listening to this again?”

“At first I thought it was a compliment to me, but I missed the timing.”

“I’m not worried because the actor seems mentally weak but he’s strong, but don’t pay attention to things like that. “Because this is the ugly side of people who are crazy about jealousy.”

Su-hyeon had many factors that would make him jealous.

Not only is she recognized for her appearance at a young age, but she also has solid performance proven through box office hits.

Looking at it from the outside, it was a complete entity that caused a feeling of relative deprivation.

“It may be a funny thing to say, but these people lack the power of anger. In particular, Cha Jin-kyung, who was talking so hard earlier, has an agency that has the ability to support its actors. “They are just packaging their lack of talent and effort in that way.”

Su-hyeon understood the situation after seeing Sang-il directly mention the lack of effort.

So these words were Sang-il’s own comfort.

“I didn’t become an actor without knowing anything. what.”

“Oh yeah.”

“Anyway, I’m really curious. Is it really because of me that there are so few actors in this work that overlap with the previous work?”

“I can’t say it doesn’t exist. But everyone does that, right? “If there are items of the same quality, you can choose the one that you like more or that doesn’t have points deducted.”

When two actors had similar skills, it was natural to choose the actor with a more suitable appearance for the role or the person with less backstory.

Appearing with Soo-hyun is not usually a negative factor, but since a child actor was cast as the top star in a movie with a large amount of capital, it was not strange to choose a combination that would cause less noise.

“Of course, Actor Ha Tae-kyung’s situation is a bit different. “I only appeared with the actor, but it was a minor supporting role, so there was no point of contact.”

It is true that an actor named Tae-kyung appeared in the same work as Soo-hyeon, but that was not the case given that they had known each other to some extent.

He simply appealed and exaggerated his participation in ‘The Monster’, and that was used as an excuse to get caught by his agency, which was trying to promote the true story.

In the cut-and-dried entertainment industry, one had to appeal to oneself while considering the situation.

“does not matter. I don’t know if Crown lobbied for it, but the director thought it was a good idea and made the decision, right? “Then all I have to do is let you know that I made the right choice.”

“When did you grow up like this?”

“Man, that’s a little creepy.”

Su-hyeon, who understood the situation, calmly accepted the atmosphere of the scene.

The common checks and jealousies that come with being a child actor.

Su-hyeon’s spirit was strong despite being hurt and shaken by the words of those outside the line.

“As always, you can solve it with your skills.”

“Oh, that’s a bit….”

“What happens to me if I show a straight face there?”

Seeing Sang-il’s immediate withdrawal, Su-hyeon grumbled and turned to the conference room.

In the second practice session that followed, Soo-hyun showed off the force of a leading lady, sending a positive signal to the movie.

“Then you must be busy this year.”

“yes. So, I think there will be a disruption to clubs and school classes.”

Although the script practice was successfully completed, Su-hyeon still had concerns.

Still in the second year of middle school.

It is true that first year life was fun and there were many memorable anecdotes, but it was also possible because there was no filming schedule during the semester.

Since I was working on a blockbuster called ‘The Dragon Horse’, I had to focus on the work for at least 6 months.

“As I said last time, it was something I already knew about and allowed admission, so the principal also agreed to filling the school days with experiential learning. “It’s just the test is the same.”

Unlike Min-hye, who was her homeroom teacher when she was in first grade, Yu-jeong, who had been in the classroom for a long time, was skilled in handling tasks and various other aspects.

He was also good at organizing Su-hyeon’s attendance and calculating the amount of time that could be saved as much as possible.

“And the club… unfortunately, we can’t leave it blank. This is a school rule. “I would recommend joining a club that doesn’t have many activities.”

The editing club that Soohyun was a member of when she was in first grade closed down last year.

In order to lead the club, you had to recruit members and have Soo-hyun, the highest grade student in the club, serve as the club president, but both were impossible.

“I heard from Teacher Minhye that she would prefer not to join a club because she doesn’t want to join a club and not be active, or be part of an unproductive club. “Is it true?”

“The reason I joined your editing club was because I wanted to join a club where I could learn something.”

Su-hyeon recalled the things she had learned and experienced over the short period of one year.

My perspective on video broadened, I helped film public service announcements, and even traveled to Japan to attend a short film festival.

These were things I wouldn’t have experienced if I hadn’t joined the editing club.

“So, are you going to look into productive clubs this year as well?”

“no. “This year, I’ll just add my name to the movie appreciation club.”

In response to Yoo-jeong’s question, Su-hyeon shook her head and mentioned a typical ghost club.

It is true that I had a good experience through the editing club, but I realized that it was because I had time and met good people.

It was foolish to insist on the practicality of the club in a busy situation.

‘Maybe I admired it.’

Before returning, Su-hyeon had never put any effort into the club.

Because the atmosphere at home was depressing, I lived moderately and killed time in appropriate clubs.

That past came to mind, and when I was a freshman, I wanted a club where I could learn something and be active even when I was busy.

When I think about it now, it was an envy toward an activity I had never experienced before.

‘After returning, I wanted to become a person who does his best in everything he does. Still, if things don’t work out, it’s right to give up.’

Curiosity or lingering feelings become stronger because you have not gone down that path before.

Suhyeon, who had made good memories for a year, gave up her stubbornness toward the club.

“Then I’ll put your name in an appropriate department.”

“Yes, teacher.”

“As I said before, even if it is convenient, you will still have to do your homework. “This is about equity.”

“yes. “I remember.”

“okay. I’ll contact your manager if I have any information if I can’t come to school. “Work hard in your activities.”

“thank you.”

Su-hyeon left the teacher’s office with Yu-jeong’s support.

All preliminary preparations for long-term filming have been completed.

* * *

The start of ‘Yongma’ was on March 25th, a week after the script practice.

The set was set up in Goyang City, and because it is close to Seoul, most actors commuted to work.

“It really looks like a house on the side of a mountain in the countryside… Even though this is the side of a mountain.”

Su-hyeon checked out the building built in the outdoor set facility and was slightly impressed.

Even in a rural village, Yunho’s house, located alone on the side of a mountain, seemed to lack human touch, befitting the description in the work.

This means that it was shabby and close to an abandoned house.

“We are planning to add a forest as a background. And here.”

The director, who was explaining the set, headed to a corner of the house.

I saw a paint can with a shotgun harpoon wire made of iron pipe attached to it.

‘It’s a real illegal homemade weapon.’

Just looking at it, there was an intact shotgun placed among the homemade weapons that screamed, ‘I am a dangerous beast.’

It was a double-barreled shotgun handed down to him by his grandfather, which the main character, Yunho, carried throughout the film.

“Would you like to listen to this?”

“yes.”

Su-hyeon looked around at the gun… no, the model gun, which could be easily lifted with one hand.

It’s hard to believe that it’s a model in terms of feel and appearance, but it was quite light.

“Take a look at your posture. “In Korea, everyone has completed military service, so in that regard… uh.”

Director Heo Je-hee, who continued speaking, stopped talking when he saw Soo-hyeon skillfully positioning herself.

Even though the lack of scale was not taken into account, the holding position and shoulder attachment were stable.

“…Because I like FPS.”

Su-hyeon, who noticed the director’s confusion, carefully came up with an excuse.

The posture of holding a gun is also present in the game, so it must be excellent behavior in its own way.

Even as he repeated that, he avoided eye contact.

‘I moved as my head told me to do…’

As with the violin, the memories I learned with my body still remain even when my body grows younger.

The same goes for handling firearms.

When he saw the firearm, his body took control and maintained his stance.

‘Ah, the real army.’

I have completed my military service, but I have not completed my military service.

Feeling her own contradiction, Su-hyeon smiled brightly and innocently.
