This Life Starts as a Child Actor Chapter 243

This life starts from a child role (243)

“If the actor goes in alone, it’s unclear who will stay.”

“There is nothing we can do because no one except the participating actors is allowed to enter. Just think of it as a vacation.”

“I think so, but… you can only use the internet or talk on the phone after 8 p.m. “It’s pretty tight.”

“You can play alone as long as you have the internet and a smartphone. “It means it doesn’t fit the purpose.”

Suhyun said thoughtfully as she checked the luggage in her suitcase once again.

Shortly after the interview, he received the call he had been waiting for.

The news was that I was to participate in a two-week training camp.

‘You just have to hang out with other people…’

Even though it was a training camp, the purpose was to observe the actors’ personalities and behavior patterns and come up with characters, so it didn’t have a strict schedule like a training camp or the military.

We only limited the use of electronic devices such as the Internet and smartphones, which are the biggest barriers to communication, so that we had enough time to get to know each other and talk. Board games where people can play together are allowed.

‘Because it is also a task to check the chemistry between the actors. ‘It’s an error to be alone.’

If only personality was important, the time for personal interviews would have been increased.

The camp card also included interactions between actors as they build relationships, and knowing this, Soo-hyeon also made up her mind to get along with others as much as possible.

“I’ll be back.”

“I’ll buy travel gifts in advance, so don’t worry.”

“yes.”

Arriving at the announced address, Su-hyeon held the handle of her suitcase tightly and headed toward the entrance.

A large building welcomed him.

[Suhyeon, do you want to eat this?]

[Yes. thank you. But where did you get it?]

[Items that Andy brought from outside.]

[…Was that still left?]

[The rice came out better than expected and was all over the bottom of the bag.]

[Oh.]

Unlike his solemn entrance, Soohyun I had a good time at the dormitory.

Excluding him, there were eleven men and women. No, I became close with the eight of them and we became like old friends.

‘The dropout rate is unexpectedly high…’

Suhyun looked at the number of members who had decreased by three in a week.

As he experiences the future, he knows that this method will be successful and that the supporting actors who participated will be a hit, but to others, the Mize Brothers’ method is seen as an uncertain adventure.

Part-time or concurrent employment for two weeks is almost impossible, there is no 100% guarantee of being selected, and even if you sign a contract, there is no script, so you cannot know the role and level of performance of the character during the audition.

The only thing that can be expected is that there is a fandom for the original work and a large amount of capital is invested, but due to the tendency of the Mize Brothers, there was a high possibility that it would be a work between art and commercial film rather than a flashy action film, and such a work would be ignored rather than well-received by both sides. There were a lot of these.

‘I think it would be better to go to another audition and receive a script at that time.’

The script will be released next year at the earliest.

Considering filming and distribution, it will be released in 2 or 3 years.

From the perspective of the participants other than Su-hyeon, it was not unusual for them to withdraw in the middle since it was a high-risk, random-return gamble.

[They must be watching through that camera, right?]

[There must have been cameras inside the bank or other buildings, but since they announced that they were observing, I was more concerned.]

Su-hyeon, who was thinking about those who escaped, glanced at a tree decoration when she saw the people gathered in front of the table and complaining. .

In addition to the CCTV hanging from the ceiling, there are hidden cameras.

People think that visible CCTV is all there is, but there are quite a few cameras disguised with screws or decorations.

‘There are practically no blind spots… and the face is also close-up.’

Some cameras moved even slightly to follow the actors’ movements.

The screens in front of Su-hyeon appeared in three or four sets wherever she went, except in the bedroom and bathroom, and showed her entire body, upper body and face from various angles.

If edited, it was enough to be used as an entertainment broadcast.

‘I don’t know why this CCTV screen appears but the footage I usually take while passing by doesn’t… but it’s good from my perspective.’

Soohyun maintained a natural and relaxed attitude every time the camera pointed at me.

This was to accommodate multi-angle camera testing.

Thanks to understanding the position of the camera and moving it, he boasted an atmosphere and appearance that felt like a real shot on any screen.

Just counting the child roles, he has been in the entertainment industry for over 10 years.

Using the camera as my ally was simple.

[I’m worried about how I’m being evaluated, but Suhyeon is really relaxed. You said you worked as a child actor in Korea for a long time, right?]

[Yes. In Korea, movement between TV and movies is free. Thanks to this, the range of projects I can participate in is wide.]

[I’m jealous of that.]

His relaxed attitude was noticeable even among actors.

Some people disparaged her by saying she wasn’t honest, but she couldn’t respond when she was told to show natural composure like Soo-hyeon.

Maintaining one’s own pace no matter when the photo is taken is only easy for stars who have a calm personality or who are harassed by paparazzi regardless of time and place.

Being able to do that in itself meant extensive experience and skills.

And that composure made the young man a focal point.

[Listen to the number. David…]

[Hey hey. We decided not to talk about that.]

[The number is the fairest? He talks on the phone with his girlfriend in the evening and brags like that.]

[I told you not to say that.]

Su-hyeon showed a picturesque smile to those who were performing the skit.

Even among white, black, and Latino people with distinct features, his appearance did not die and shone softly.

[Dave’s girlfriend lives in San Francisco, so we seem to get along well even though we live quite a distance away. I’m jealous.]

[Uh… remember?]

[Of course. [I told you this before.]

Another reason why he was able to become the center of attention was because he did not miss even the smallest details leaked by the members.

I feel like they care about me.

Those who talked to Su-hyeon felt the same way, which led to liking her.

Gradually, Su-hyeon gathered people around me.

And all of that was captured on the sparkling camera.

* * *

[Able to take a break.]

[The fewer screens you miss, the better.]

[You can watch it again if you need to. Then I’ll get sick.]

Edward, who works at Mize Brothers, nagged Able with concern.

What was so good about it was that Able, sitting in the monitor room, couldn’t take his eyes off the screen as he even brought his meal to the room and ate it.

[I didn’t know if it would be effective while I was doing it. If you look at this, you can see how the experiment facility scene should unfold?]

[Yes, yes. It’s about that Asian guy again, right? Kang Soo-hyun.]

[Hmm.]

Edward spoiled Able’s words, saying that he was tired of the repertoire he had listened to for over a week.

To him, who was in charge of chores, Able’s admiration, which was not praise, was close to violence in an alien language.

[Like someone who knows how hidden cameras work.]

[That’s impossible. You checked double and triple to avoid getting caught.]

[So, either that’s his usual appearance or he’s wearing a mask the whole time. Either way, it’s great.]

Able, who had developed a good feeling for Suhyeon after the interview, felt even more joy while conducting the monitoring.

This is because his strong mental strength, ability to hug his colleagues, and yet a strange sense of attachment overlapped little by little with the character ‘thirteen’ that was conceived immediately after the interview.

As if entering the adjustment stage, Suhyun’s actions and attitude were slowly overlaid on the image of ‘Thirteen’.

[The person who should be by Lucy’s side must be a person of character, but not perfect. Because if that happens, the main character, Lucy, loses her shine. It must be a complete but imperfect being.]

[Um, Able. It’s good to think highly of Soo-hyun, but you’re also watching the other actors…?]

[Of course.]

Although he was completely preoccupied with Soo-hyun, Able was also diligently writing down the actions and attitudes of other actors.

It was just that Soo-hyun, who used even CCTV as a personal camera, drew a little more attention.

[That’s too bad.]

[Huh? What are you talking about all of a sudden?]

[There is something like that.]

[You know Able is getting more and more eccentric…?]

Able closed his mouth for a moment.

I would like to explain the reason, but it was a sensitive matter to bring out.

I couldn’t just say that I would reduce the number of actors ultimately selected because of Soo-hyun.

‘I was planning on picking seven out of five to highlight their individuality… but Soohyun was able to cover that part.’

‘Morning Star’ was planned to contain the story of ‘Lucy’ growing up as she experiences various situations and people in an experimental facility.

The story of ‘Lucy’ maturing through diverse and unique characters.

However, with the emergence of an ecologically destructive species called Suhyeon, there was no need for multiple people to take turns helping Lucy grow.

‘The characteristics of each character will become clearer.’

Actors who were eliminated even after participating for two weeks were given cold words or a character to pay attention to from a production standpoint, which meant that they could focus on a small number of people.

Focusing on Soohyun’s character ‘Thirteen’, ‘Lava’, ‘Frost’, ‘Suri’, etc.

In Able’s mind, many characters were organically connected.

‘…The name is Junggu Nanban, so I need to change it to be more intuitive.’

Able, who was pessimistic about his own naming sense for a moment, came to his senses again and focused on the screen.

As if he didn’t want to miss the movements and expressions of people laughing and talking, he kept his eyes fixed on the screen while moving his pen.

[Able? Ashley asks if I’m bringing coffee. Would you like it?]

[Large size espresso.]

[…Won’t you die if you drink that?]

Edward, who was helping order coffee, frowned as if he had heard a terrible order.

Coffee without water or milk was a terrible spell.

[I need caffeine. My brain still needs to be awake.]

[…I’d rather drink 5hr. Then I really die.]

Despite grumbling, Edward ordered Able’s menu.

Whether you whisper behind my back or not. Able’s hands were busy.

The two-week camp passed slowly but quickly.

In the second half, we talked about how each other performed and routines, and thanks to this, a study group-like atmosphere was created for the last three days.

[Soohyun, contact me later when you come to America.]

[Thank you. See you next time.]

Su-hyeon said hello to those she had become close with and approached the familiar In-young who was waiting for her.

Sang-il, who was standing in front of the rental car, welcomed him as he approached.

“Did you enjoy the camp?”

“It was quite interesting to hear about the American film industry.”

“It’s good.”

Sang-il, who was in the car, told Su-hyeon what had happened over the past two weeks.

Important information was delivered over the evening phone call, but there was also some small news.

“I sent pictures as travel gifts through messages, but when I went to the accommodation and checked again, I saw that there were documents on the back of the passenger seat, and it was an offer of work that came in during the training camp. “I organized it by period.”

“Yes…”

Su-hyeon carefully checked the information that was pouring in, as if she had opened her mailbox after a long time.

Since I wasn’t completely cutting off news, there wasn’t anything major going on.

“Maybe because these are next year’s works, most of them are in the planning stage. “I’m not sure what I’m particularly attracted to….”

“Not only for the movie side, but also for the drama side, casting offers were sent first, so most of them will send a second proposal.”

“Well, then I’ll look at it again then…”

Su-hyeon, who had been putting away the documents one by one, returned the stack of papers to their original place and stared at Sang-il through the rear-view mirror.

Suhyeon’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.

“Is there any news about ‘Dragon Horse’?”

It’s mid-August, with just a few days left before vacation.

Just as the start of school is getting closer, the release of ‘The Dragon Horse’ is also getting closer.
