This life is a child actor (280)
‘It’s a publicity stunt…’
The job of being an entertainer is something that is easily forgotten if you don’t stand in front of the public for a long time.
Because there are countless competitors in the entertainment industry and they are also trying to stand out.
‘Oh, by the way, what does he do these days?’ In order not to be left behind, I had to show my face endlessly.
‘They’re saying they’ll go somewhere to prevent that.’
The actor’s entry into Hollywood served as a kind of ‘gukppong’.
Even if the person’s face is not seen for a while, awareness is maintained by saying, ‘This person is filming a project in the United States.’
Of course, this is only a moment, so if there is no exposure for more than 4 or 5 months, attention moves to other popular celebrities.
‘Because of that, the number of actors who want to appear regularly on entertainment shows is gradually increasing. By the way, if it’s not to promote your work but to inform you of departure information, would you like to do an interview?’
Su-hyeon imagined what direction Sang-il’s schedule would lead to.
Since I don’t have much to say, I don’t think I will appear on a variety show or broadcast as a guest, and the most realistic way would be to write an article through an interview.
‘Then, can I just reveal my ambition to leave for the United States? This is your second time appearing in a Hollywood movie, but you’re more nervous than before?’
While he was lost in his own thoughts and wondering how the promotion would be done, Sang-il, who was quietly watching Soo-hyun’s one-man show, opened his mouth.
“So, we are planning to send out press releases to reporters informing them of our departure to the United States.”
“ah.”
“yes?”
“Oh no.”
Su-hyeon, who only realized that it was a simple promotion at the agency level when she heard the word press release, slightly averted her gaze.
I felt a little embarrassed that I felt I had to come forward.
‘No… my brother said something that caused some misunderstanding. If it’s a simple report, I’ll tell you it’s a simple report…’
Su-hyeon, who swallowed a little resentment, listened to Sang-il’s words while pretending not to notice the kimchi soup he had swallowed.
He didn’t seem to notice Su-hyeon’s confusion as he explained what information would be included in the article and what would be hidden.
“I’m sorry to the actor who wants to announce his departure in a flashy manner through interviews or entertainment appearances, but I would be grateful if you could bear with me for this trip to the United States. “Next time, we will prepare luxurious venues.”
Of course, it wasn’t that he didn’t mention it until the end because Sang-il didn’t notice….
He was suddenly attacked when he was caught off guard, and he glanced at Sang-il.
I was a little resentful of the manager who had let me go and then attacked me at the end.
* * *
As Sang-il had predicted, a few days later, Su-hyeon’s departure was announced in the newspaper.
The destination is the United States, and the work he will participate in is the story of the past of Satan, the villain of the movie ‘City Guard’, which was also a hit in Korea.
Because it is very rare for a Korean actor to appear as the lead in a superhero movie, many people contacted Soo-hyun to check whether it was true or not.
└Isn’t this Mija now??? But working in Hollywood?? Is this true?
└Soo-hyun worked in Hollywood a long time ago, but Muggles gasped as they thought it was her first time lol
└You were only a child actor for a few minutes in that work. It’s a natural temperature difference, but it’s strange to laugh at it because we don’t know about it.
└Wow… are you filming next year? It’ll be popular in Korea soon ㅠ
└Didn’t Soohyun say that she filmed a broadcast with an idol a while ago?
└That was probably a broadcasting accident?
People who saw the article showed a variety of human characteristics, including congratulating that it was a good thing, questioning whether it was true, and adding false information.
It was not yet the time to block comments on entertainment articles, so it was easy to check the reactions of various age groups.
‘That’s it, the problem is…’
It was expected in advance that the public would bite and chew.
Suhyeon cared more about people close to her than comments written by someone whose face she didn’t know.
This means that he noticed Ho-chan and Ji-yeon right in front of him.
“You’re staying alone?”
“hmm. “I live with my manager, so I’m not alone.”
“That manager is not Mr. Sang-il.”
“But Hyunsoo is also a very capable person. “I’m not that young either.”
Su-hyeon, who was considering an apartment for four students, ran into a problem.
Naturally, apartments mainly used by college students are clustered near universities, and this is because the proportion of Asians in those communities is unusual.
As it is an area with many international students, there were many Koreans and a significant number of other Asians, including Chinese and Japanese.
In other words, recognizing Soo-hyeon, the potential danger factor that could come was at a level that could not be ignored.
‘It turns out that it wasn’t just bravado for famous celebrities in Korea to go to a house…’
Few locals would recognize him and approach him.
However, living in a community without worrying about that was an easy choice in terms of safety.
‘So we ended up settling near Hollywood.’
Su-hyeon bought a house in a location with moderate security and easy access by car.
When he heard that Crown had selected a separate security company and completed preparations, all he could think was, ‘It must be lonely because there are so few people around.’
Unlike Su-hyeon, who was so calm, parents Ji-yeon and Ho-chan felt anxious about their young son living alone.
In addition, the fact that the manager they live with is the first person to get together on this trip to the United States rather than Sang-il, who has been together for over 10 years, reignited the two people’s concerns about whether Ji-yeon should follow them.
“Suhyeon, I know you are a child who can do well on your own. “But Mom and Dad are nervous about letting me go abroad alone.”
“I live with Hyunsu hyung, and Sangil hyung will also be with me for 3 or 4 months out of the 6 months. “It’s not like I can’t ask for help because I don’t speak English.”
Su-hyeon calmly persuaded the two.
From his perspective, as an adult in spirit, there were no major problems with his trip to the United States.
Hyeonsu, an adult, was always by his side to help him, and there were many Korean restaurants and supermarkets, so he didn’t have to worry about his eating habits, and he wasn’t completely without friends.
If you look at students who train alone or study abroad, Suhyeon’s age was old enough for him to be able to stand on his own.
“Sia also lived in the United States for a semester last year. Even though security in the U.S. is scarier than in Korea, there are no major problems unless you walk around alone at night. “You’ve been there.”
Soo-hyeon sold Sia, her elementary school classmate, to her concerned parents.
She, who had not been like a child since elementary school, spent her last semester of middle school in the United States.
Even though it was a homestay, it was helpful in persuading the two people.
“after. okay. “It would be okay if the manager lives with us as well.”
“Honey, Su-hyeon is still young…”
“You know that even though our son is young, he is smart. Even in Korea, I did well on my own. “Let’s trust Suhyun.”
“honey.”
“If he goes, either Yoohyeon and I will be left alone or I will be the only one left, but I think it will be lonely if we stay like that for 6 months….”
“Honey….”
I sat in front, watching Ho-chan and Ji-yeon, who worked hard to create a serious atmosphere and suddenly fell into a pink world. Su-hyeon, who was there, had blurry eyes.
His parents were good parents, but their affection was too much for their child.
‘But it was resolved well…’
Suhyeon turned her eyes and imagined life in America.
His immunity was still insufficient to watch the exchange of affectionate glances taking place right before his eyes.
* * *
After receiving permission from her family, Su-hyeon boarded a plane to the United States in mid-November.
Thanks to the reporter not wasting time with his fans, he arrived in the United States without much trouble.
“…the house is really nice.”
Su-hyeon was slightly impressed when she saw the house she had only seen in photos with her own eyes.
Bushes over 3 meters tall formed a wall, and a two-story house was located within it.
If you include the basement and attic, it was close to the 4th floor.
The house, fully equipped with furniture and tools, was quite cozy.
The rug instead of carpet was soft, the bathroom was spacious, and the blanket smelled like fabric softener, as if it had been washed once.
Although it was a new house, it had a human smell.
“This is the room that Director Choi can use when he stays, that is the room that I will be in, and this is the actor’s room. “The items you mentioned were placed in the bathroom and closet…”
Hyunsu walked around the house like a real estate agent and reported on the things he had previously asked for.
“And I thought ribs would be good for dinner tonight, so I bought some and marinated them. If you want, I can make a reservation at a restaurant. “There’s a good restaurant around here.”
“I like home-cooked meals. “What about you?”
“I think it would be a good idea to eat at home to see Assistant Manager Han’s skills.”
“Director A, too. After all, I am a person who obtained his Korean, Chinese, and Western chef certification in Korea. “I know exactly what Korean tastes like.”
Assistant Manager Han Hyun-soo, who would be staying with Su-hyeon in the United States, was a very cheerful person.
When we first met, he shook my hand warmly and smiled as if I had worked with him for years.
‘I think there are a lot of talented people at Crown…’
Although he was very sociable, Hyunsu did not cross the line by showing off his friendship.
I knew how to say that even if it was round, it didn’t mean it wasn’t.
Although they hadn’t known each other for a long time, Suhyun liked the new manager she met.
“The actor’s schedule is being coordinated with Mize Brothers Studio. “It’s taking a little while because Sam Anderson, who plays the role of ‘Lucy,’ is very picky about the filming time.”
The American contract was quite thick.
Everything that made me wonder why this was included in the contract was all documented, from daily filming time and only certain foods to be eaten to requests related to the actor’s animal habits.
This was because many things were so elaborately divided that it was difficult to rely solely on flexibility.
It was a true Hollywood-style system that Soo-hyun had never experienced in the past while filming in the United States.
‘That’s why I also wrote the contract carefully…’
Su-hyeon, who only considered the amount and filming time, received advice and presented detailed and meticulous conditions.
You must take care of your own convenience.
It was a cruel yet kind society where if you knew, you could find your rights and feel comfortable, but if you did not know, you would have to suffer.
“I heard that Actor Anderson’s dog must be walked by the owner from 2 to 3 o’clock… Is this true?”
“yes. It’s included in the contract. “It was a condition that did not exist when filming my last work, but the dog I adopted was so cute and I had no choice but to follow the owner.”
“….”
It felt a little odd to be pushed out of dog walking time, but Hollywood valued contracts anyway, and Soohyun followed their rules.
“You said you came to Hollywood for sightseeing in the past, right? Although this place is famous as a tourist destination, there really isn’t much to see. There are some good restaurants nearby. So I don’t think sightseeing will be a good idea… Is there anything you want?”
“First, I want to pack up my things in my room and rest. No matter how comfortable the airplane seat was, I was still tired…”
After hearing the general story, Su-hyeon wanted to stay in her room and rest until dinner time.
I didn’t have any problems adjusting to jet lag because I fell asleep the whole time on the plane, but having some alone time was a different problem.
Ding dong.
Just as he was about to say goodbye to the managers, the sound of a small bell caught him.
