This Life Starts as a Child Actor Chapter 364

This life is from a child role (364)

“Cameo….”

At the word cameo, Soohyun thought of ‘ensemble’.

A drama I participated in at Seohan’s suggestion.

The cocky genius kid he played, ‘Rio’, left a big impact even in his short appearance with his skillful playing and unique character.

‘It was quite fun.’

Although it was difficult to memorize a new language and speak it naturally in a short period of time, Soo-hyeon, who mainly played dark roles at the time, received a lot of help from the childlike role of ‘Rio’.

Although ‘The Monster’ achieved 10 million viewers and ‘Salt Doll’ became a success, the need to make efforts to change the image became less necessary.

“Cameo… I think it’s good. “You can make an impact by investing just one day.”

Suhyun recently looked back on her daily routine.

While concentrating on school work, he works on self-improvement through performance and choreography, and occasionally posts news on YouTube.

It was a pattern not much different from that of actors who were on break.

‘If you think about the military, it’s good to get some exposure even if you don’t do too much work.’

The time spent in the military is 1 year and 6 months, but being discharged does not mean that your face appears on the screen right away.

Because I need time to choose a project and film and produce it.

In particular, when actors returned from a long-term absence, there were many cases where they were together with the work.

This is because the most powerful way for an actor to appeal is to show off his acting skills in his work.

Sometimes, there are people who extend their career life through their looks and other charms instead of acting, but I haven’t heard good things about them.

“So what is the role I was offered?”

Since Soo-hyeon had called me somewhere, I guessed that Sang-il had raised expectations by mentioning a special appearance.

It’s not like I’ve mentioned it since I don’t have any work.

However, such speculation was an idea that looked down on Sang-il.

“If the actor is interested, we should start looking into it now.”

“…yes?”

“It’s hard to ask for a special appearance if you don’t have a close relationship.”

It was not unheard of for directors or producers to ask actors to appear briefly, but it was rare.

This is because actors are reluctant to make special appearances.

‘…Honestly, who would like to give a few thousand to someone who earns hundreds of millions of dollars by participating in advertising for a day and have them do the work? Depending on the job, you may be tied up for not just a day but several days.’

Due to the nature of the Korean industry, the act of appearing briefly and receiving all of one’s wages was criticized even though it was a fair compensation for labor.

A cameo was a form in which the work took advantage of the actor’s fame rather than the actor benefiting from the work, and it was a structure in which the actor had to bear time and financial losses as well.

So, unless the actor was a fan of the work or liked the script so much that he wanted to participate even for free, it was difficult for a producer with whom he had no connection to first ask an actor to appear as a cameo.

‘The number of cases where an actor can benefit is extremely rare. I feel comfortable thinking of it as a service, but it’s hard to do that for someone I’m not even close with.’

Suhyun also knew all these facts in her head.

I just hated the manager who raised expectations without doing anything.

“I never thought my brother would give me an empty check….”

“You can’t say it’s an empty check, because there are many PDs and directors who will create a position for an actor even if it doesn’t exist if he wants to appear.”

“Uhm….”

Despite Sang-il’s assurance, Su-hyeon gave him a subtle look.

Since I wasn’t tight on money, it didn’t matter if it was a no-guarantee friendship appearance rather than a special appearance, but I couldn’t think of a project I wanted to appear in.

“I don’t think it’s good for me to speak up and appear in a place where the other person is not eager.”

Even though the appearance was often very brief, there were producers who sent offers to actors with the thought, ‘It has to be that actor.’

Naturally, the role was a perfect fit for the actor, so it served as another opportunity for the actor.

I just hurriedly thought, ‘You can add a famous actor like this? It felt different from the position I created, thinking, ‘I need to create a role right away!’

“This is what this side wanted, but it is not difficult to make it seem like the other side got that result because they desperately wanted it. “You are an actor of that level.”

“That’s…”

“So, if the actor tells us what role he wants to play and what picture he wants to appear in, we’ll do our best to make it happen.”

Su-hyeon, who was disappointed in Sang-il even for a moment, reflected deeply.

If you think about it, the president of the agency even makes movies for child actors, but his capacity was too small.

“Then, I would like to take on a role that is naughty or heartless. “Recently, I’ve mostly only played weak or kind roles.”

Suhyun recalled all the roles she had played since high school and quietly expressed her wish.

Although he showed a rough charm in ‘The Dragon Horse’, the roles he played in ‘The Moment You Shine’, ‘Campus Couples’, ‘Morning Star’, and ‘Pollen Syndrome’ were either sweet male protagonists who captured women’s hearts or weak-hearted characters. was a strong key character.

If I had no choice but to leave a gap due to going to the military anyway, I wanted to become a villain who would be strongly remembered by the public.

“That might be fun too. “Then, let’s look into the direction the actor mentioned.”

“yes. “Please don’t overlap with finals and exams.”

After finishing the conversation, Suhyun picked up the paper she had put away with a brighter expression.

People say that Seo-han, who lives immersed in his work, is amazing, but Su-hyeon is no slouch either.

* * *

Aside from selecting a good work to briefly enter, Su-hyeon still had a play for assignment.

It’s been three days since I finished the script.

Even if they couldn’t memorize everything, it was enough time to read and analyze the roles, so the group members gathered together to try to sum it up.

‘It looks like everyone has been practicing hard.’

Jang Hyuk, a film major, and Yera, a spatial directing major, who had little importance, stared at their team members as if they were just watching other people’s business.

Hunmin and Jiin, who were in charge of A and B, showed slight tension on their faces, but it was not serious.

“Then let’s just guess.”

The group members sat around and tried to sum up their lines, just like in the script practice area where Soohyun usually participated.

The theater students tried to convey the emotions of their roles as much as possible in their voices, and even while sitting, they swung their arms and upper bodies widely.

‘I’m better than I thought?’

Su-hyeon looked at the men and women playing A and B and gave them a look of surprise.

The acting skills of the two people were not bad considering he acted with a variety of people.

Rather, it was in the good category, and Hunmin in particular was okay standing in front of the camera as long as he didn’t exaggerate too much.

‘If you just take care of the mask, it can be covered with makeup… hmm, it’s pretty good, isn’t it?’

Jinang University’s Department of Theater was ranked among the best in Korea.

Su-hyeon, who overlooked that point because she passed the exam so easily, watched her classmates’ performances seriously.

It was a senior, not a competitor, appreciating the junior’s skills, but his eyes were very serious.

‘He’s passionate. ‘You like acting.’

The two people’s acting was not without some immaturity.

It can’t be called acting, but there is a subtle awkwardness that the public will notice if they see it on screen.

However, along with his inexperience, he felt passion, and Su-hyeon thought that this would be highly regarded by the professor.

“Let’s break up. “I found someone who likes me.”

“What are you talking about? “We had a fun date just last week.”

“Actually, every time I look at you, I feel like I’m looking at a pretty statue. “I didn’t feel any rational attraction to you.”

“what?”

Su-hyeon, who was observing the acting skills of her classmates, shifted her attention to the flow of the play.

A, who found out that he likes men more than women, breaks up with his girlfriend B.

He did not feel much guilt towards B and hacked her with sharp words.

‘I think the lines are a bit stiff because the words are sharp… Since there is still time, I think it would be good to mark the parts that are a bit awkward and make some corrections.’

When B, hurt by A’s cruel words, leaves the room, A sighs in relief and goes to meet her new boyfriend, C.

“You don’t look good. are you okay?”

“uh.”

When it was her turn, Soohyun gave up her thoughts and spit out C’s line.

He expressed his affection and concern for the other person to the fullest.

We controlled our facial expressions so that anyone could see that we were not just friends.

‘Hunmin said that there is a difference between theater acting and movie acting and that theater is superior… but in fact, it is meaningless unless it is on a large stage in a classical theater.’

Recently, performances tend to take place in small theaters, and when the distance between the stage and the audience is far, a screen is installed so that the audience can see the actors’ faces.

This means that the method of conveying and expressing a character’s emotions through exaggerated gestures is gradually becoming outdated.

The development of technology is not just a story for the film industry.

“I’m glad I can have this kind of relationship with you… Actually, I’ve been eyeing you ever since I first saw you.”

“okay.”

Perhaps it was awkward to act affectionately with a man, but Hunmin’s acting was more clumsy than when he was acting with an acquaintance.

Su-hyeon pretended not to know that part and expressed her love more affectionately.

Understanding C’s feelings of indebtedness to A who chose him over the ordinary world.

However, as the dialogue progressed, Su-hyeon continued to feel annoyed by Hun-min’s attitude.

‘She hates acting like a romantic partner with a real man. Since the subject is a minority, I can’t leave it out. If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better for an acquaintance to dress up as a man and take on the role of A?’

Unlike when talking to each other in everyday life, Hunmin’s true feelings were clearly visible when he met him through acting.

Because the mask of acting was all too familiar to Suhyun.

It was easier to notice than when I usually smiled and subtly crossed the line, and even ambiguous words and actions became clearly visible.

‘We’re in love, but I feel hostile and have a sense of superiority…? Could it be that C loves A more and feels superior because I act like that? under.’

The sincerity reflected in her acting was so obvious that Su-hyeon tried hard to suppress her desire to quit halfway through.

Even though it was true that I was disappointed in Hunmin, I couldn’t ruin the assignment that the other group members were working on.

‘I’ve never had the experience of acting with someone who doesn’t like me. Even if the other person doesn’t want to cooperate, I have to lead the way.’

Even if grades rather than money are at stake, the fact that you have to do your best doesn’t change.

Rather, Su-hyeon felt fortunate to be able to know Hun-min’s true intentions in this way.

‘He shouldn’t be in a position to feel inferior to me. ‘You never know.’

Suhyun smiled sweetly as she let go of the relationships she had built up one by one.

Even if a real relationship deteriorates, showing it in acting is a mistake only amateurs make.

He was a professional, and that didn’t change even while working on his college assignments.

“Hey Park Hoon-min. If you want to act like that, get rid of it and hand the role of A to me. “There is no difference between what you do to B and what you do to C.”

“Acquaintance.”

“That bastard is trying to deduct my points right now. You have a shitty face, you act like shit, and it doesn’t matter to me whether you hate homosexuals or not, but you shouldn’t express that. “Fuck you.”

While Soo-hyeon was still, an acquaintance who was watching the two people’s acting intervened.

The sudden banquet of profanity froze the mood of the group members.
