This life starts from a child role (307)
“Hey! World star actor Kang Soo-hyun! Nice to meet you!”
“hello.”
“You are unusually dignified for your young age! Very strong and strong. “He’s tall!”
“ha ha ha.”
Suhyeon laughed heartlessly while listening to the PD who lifted me up.
It is true that words mixed with praise and admiration are sweet, but it was awkward to react when he boarded a plane like this.
‘…It’s not that I don’t like it, though.’
Of course, it was just that it was difficult to respond, but it wasn’t that I was avoiding it or reluctant to do it.
It may have been intended to ridicule, but the reason the PD said such a thing was to lighten his mood and conclude a satisfactory contract.
It was a flattering remark that meant that he really wanted to invite Su-hyeon as a guest, so it was enough for Su-hyun to just laugh quietly.
‘Even if there’s a bit of exaggeration, the comments in the broadcasting industry tend to be sweet, right?’
Feeling a little shameless despite his appearance, he sat down across from the producer.
The PD took turns looking at Soo-hyeon and Sang-il, who was sitting next to him, and groaned exaggeratedly.
“nice. The relationship between an actor and a manager lasts for over 10 years! Very cool! “Do you think this will make a pretty picture?”
“That’s too much praise.”
“No way. This Jang Tae-seong! “He is a person who does not know empty words!”
The producer continued his passionate explanation of the program while making remarks that severely undermined trust.
Producer Jang Tae-seong leads 90% of the conversation, and Sang-il listens to what he says and interjects interjections.
Su-hyeon, the center of the conversation, just sat quietly and watched them laughing and talking hahaha.
‘There’s no need for me to step forward.’
Even though they seem friendly, they haven’t signed yet.
Even though an agreement was reached, there was still room for negotiation, so the broadcasting station tried to make the filming more provocative and advantageous to them, and the actor’s side continued to fight over small details to ensure that the actor’s image and marketability were not harmed.
‘If there is a difference of opinion here, if I take the manager’s side, they will be offended, and if I take the PD’s side, I will lose out.’
This is the moment when big things like appearance fees and filming times have been decided, but small things can be adjusted through conversation.
In order to maintain the desired pace until the end, it was easier to leave the villain role to the manager and just smile.
“I like that you have a refreshing personality! Then, only four cameras will be attached to the vehicle…”
Since the goal was to capture the celebrity as seen from the manager’s perspective, the camera was planned to mainly follow Sang-il.
That was a bit refreshing, so Su-hyeon occasionally looked at Sang-il’s expression even while he was smiling like a folding screen.
“Then we’ll just leave like this!”
“Yes, please take care of me.”
“Thank you, PD.”
“ha ha ha! Sure. “The actor and the director.”
When the conversation ended, Soo-hyeon, who had remained quiet, lightly put her signature at the bottom of the contract.
Sang-il, who appeared with me, also drew his signature on the document in front of him this time.
“By the way, it would have been nice if we could have also included the actor’s life in the United States. “It was unfortunate.”
“Because this was the actor’s first filming in Hollywood since he was very young, he refused all Korean entertainment shows. However, if the opportunity arises in the future, I would like to work with the producer as well.”
“oh my. “Yes, thank you!”
As soon as it was heard that Soo-hyun had played a significant supporting role in a famous work in the United States, the broadcasting industry, especially the entertainment industry, became interested in Soo-hyun’s actions.
As the content called ‘Gukbong’ is easy to appeal to viewers and get a good response, he wanted to capture his life in America on camera.
‘I refused.’
Su-hyeon consulted with Crown in advance and rejected the related proposals.
Without even looking at the content or program.
‘Even if you look at it, you’ll only feel regret in a situation where you can’t do anything. Likewise, there are good things about it because the viewers don’t watch it.’
In some ways, this trip to America was closer to my debut work.
This is because, unlike in the past when he played the child role of the main character in ‘Dear My’, he played a major supporting role that is responsible for the narrative to some extent next to the main character.
It was an important opportunity that I got by going through auditions one by one, and Soo-hyun minimized the number of cases where I, who was an experienced rookie, could leave a bad impression.
‘Because the making video hasn’t even been released yet. It would be difficult to reveal something in Korean entertainment that is not disclosed even in the United States. But that doesn’t mean you can’t release the scene a year later when the movie is released, right?
Not only was it important to keep secrets related to the movie, but Su-hyeon’s private life was also covered by entertainment cameras.
While in the U.S., Soohyun lived in a private home she bought with money she earned, and since she was old enough to drive, she also purchased a vehicle in her own name, separate from the company vehicle.
An actor who owns a decent house and a car at the age of only 18.
Considering the money he has earned so far, there is nothing he can’t buy, but from the viewer’s perspective, it was perfect to feel a sense of relative deprivation and jealousy.
‘They say celebrities make a lot of money because they are so-and-so, but there are quite a few people who ignore the appearance fees of child actors.’
Despite her fame, many people considered Soo-hyun to be a relative underdog in the broadcast film industry.
I could see that it was doing well, but I couldn’t translate it into money.
Soo-hyeon showing his wealth on TV was perfect for creating a sense of betrayal.
‘Wouldn’t it be similar to getting angry when you see the owner of a shoe shop or an old lady who picks up waste paper leaving work in a foreign car? I was rooting for them because I thought they were clearly the underdogs, but in reality, they were making so much money that it was hard to regard them as underdogs at all.’
Even on the YouTube daily channel, Soohyun did not reveal the inside of her house.
Study rooms and exercise areas were included separately, and care was taken to ensure that the surroundings were not clearly visible.
It was a sad situation for a child actor who was able to describe his daily life but had difficulty disclosing his assets.
“I don’t know how it will come out since there is no filming during this period.”
“We just need to edit it well! There are many viewers who are curious about the daily lives of stars. Suhyeon Think of it comfortably as an extension of what you see on TV. Please feel comfortable. Ha ha ha ha ha.”
He called the wrong channel name, but Suhyun didn’t point him out and just laughed.
I was both excited and worried about what I would look like from the manager’s perspective.
* * *
“hello. Oh, I added a camera. Hello viewers, this is Kang Soo-hyun.”
“Don’t act like an amateur. “In the first place, entertainment cameras do not pretend to know anything.”
“One, two, three… oh, there are four.”
Suhyun, who was in the car, was half-listening to the manager’s words and waved her hand in front of the lens and pointed at the camera.
In observational entertainment, you have to pretend not to notice the camera, but he didn’t mind.
‘Because I decided to show a more relaxed side that wasn’t seen in movies or dramas.’
Soohyun rarely participated in entertainment shows.
Although the relationship between ‘actor Kang Soo-hyun’ and ‘Kang Soo-hyun’ was shown through daily channels, most people remembered him as a hard worker or a character who appeared in a work.
‘It’s especially true because it’s been quite a while since I filmed a variety show. ‘YouTube and S App are mainly watched by fans.’
Su-hyeon was mainly shown as an actress, and even in other entertainment shows, Soo-hyun was usually portrayed as a hard-working character.
Even if the evaluation was not different from reality, it was true that only one aspect was reflected.
“Hyung, what’s your schedule today?”
Soo-hyeon asked about the schedule she already knew, with the idea of taking care of her beloved manager.
The purpose was to show Sang-il’s competence by capturing him reciting the schedule one after another on camera.
“First, let’s go to the shop and decorate briefly…”
Sang-il, perhaps aware of Su-hyeon’s consideration, calmly announced his schedule.
His behavior was very calm as he paid less attention to the camera than Soo-hyeon.
“Oh. “There will be a VJ waiting in the shop.”
“…Can I say that here?”
“It will be edited on its own.”
Unlike his awkward appearance when the ‘omniscient manager’s point of view’ was first mentioned, Sang-il was no different from usual.
Seeing Sang-il’s so casual attitude, Su-hyeon felt somewhat lonely.
‘Before I returned, when I first filmed the show, I was frozen and couldn’t speak properly…’
Even if I’ve been a manager for over 10 years, is it possible for me to be that indifferent?
While I was lost in those thoughts, the car passed between the buildings as smoothly as water and landed in the shop’s parking lot.
There was a cameraman in the familiar scene, but unlike in the car, Su-hyeon pretended not to notice him and talked to the shop manager.
‘Most of the cameras are on Sang-il… I feel something strange.’
The overall view was captured well on the fixed camera screens.
However, the VJ’s camera screen often focused on Soo-hyeon, but then again focused on Sang-il.
What Sang-il was doing and what he was going to do….
This made her feel both proud and strangely sad, so Soo-hyeon focused on her costume and makeup.
* * *
“Today’s guest! river! number! hyeon!”
After spending a week with the camera, another week.
Su-hyeon and Sang-il sat in front of a hexagonal table in the green studio.
“Hello, I’m actor Kang Soo-hyun.”
Suhyeon smiled brightly as she greeted the applauding people.
Everyone praised him because he was young but recognized for his acting skills, and Su-hyeon blushed as if she was embarrassed and maintained her dignity.
-hello. This is Choi Sang-il, actor Kang Soo-hyun’s manager.
[Q. How long have you been a manager?]
―You are my first actor… and we have been together for 13 years already.
The beginning of the video started with a scene of Sang-il driving to pick up Soo-hyeon.
Suhyun quietly stared at the manager on the monitor in front of her.
Sang-il was concentrating on driving while ignoring the camera, and although it was similar to his usual appearance, it was something we had never seen before.
-hello. Oh, I added a camera. Hello viewers. This is Kang Soo-hyun.
-Don’t act like an amateur. In reality, entertainment cameras do not pretend to know anything.
―One, two, three… Oh, there are four.
Then, Soohyun appeared on the screen, and she greeted the camera she saw for the first time.
Seeing him waving his hand, the female panelist sighed, “You’re cute.”
“Are you speaking respectfully?”
“The actor is young, but that’s why I’m paying more attention to him. “As a manager, if I speak too casually, others may treat the actor as if he were a child.”
“Oh, as expected, professional managers are different.”
“You’re considerate.”
After listening to the conversation between Sang-il and the panelists, Su-hyeon felt embarrassed and satisfied.
This is because I really liked the position of an actor and manager who care for each other.
However, Su-hyeon’s good mood did not last long.
[Q: What is the actor constantly drinking?]
―It is a chocolate drink. I really like chocolate, so I always grab it when things aren’t going well or I’m stressed.
[Q: The actor often goes off camera.]
―We’re going to have a snack. I like eating, but I hate showing off.
This is because Sang-il, who is on screen, revealed Soo-hyeon’s secrets one by one in a separate interview room.
Sang-il even informed the panel of the facts that Soo-hyun had concealed off-camera.
“brother…?”
Su-hyeon looked at Sang-il, who was sitting calmly with shaking eyes.
Sang-il, whom she trusted, betrayed Su-hyeon.
