This Life Starts as a Child Actor Chapter 400

From this life as a child actor (400)

After the release of ‘Sweetie Nerd’, the one that Soohyun chose among the countless offers was an advertisement for Nature House’s cosmetics.

It was a mid-priced brand of Amour Cosmetics, a cosmetics company, and was famous for recruiting popular celebrities.

‘The appearance fee… was high.’

After receiving the offer from Nature House, Su-hyeon understood where their recruiting power came from.

There was no reason to refuse a price that was 1.5 times higher than the implicit industry price.

“Hello, Kang Soo-hyun.”

As he was looking around the busy scene, a woman approached him.

She met Suhyun’s eyes and smiled and lowered her head.

“This is Dahye Choi, Assistant Manager of the Nature House Public Relations Team.”

“Hello, this is Kang Soo-hyun.”

“and! “Seeing you like this, you’re even taller than what you see on the screen!”

“thank you.”

Su-hyeon answered politely and then glanced down at the screen that was set aside.

A screen that had been reduced to small size indicated that it was still recording.

‘I heard that commercials sometimes shoot making-of films these days… but I never thought that would be me.’

The actor’s behavior off set was a good selling point.

Because the public has always been curious about the ‘real’ appearance of celebrities.

The attitude captured before the main filming began was seen by the public as the ‘everyday and truthful’ nature of a celebrity, and companies took advantage of that mentality.

‘You’re making two commercial videos with one commercial shoot… Moreover, you actually tell them in advance that you’ll be shooting a making film before filming it.’

No matter how rare an occupation may be in terms of personal life, it is a business where money is exchanged.

Unless they went crazy, there was no way a company would make a celebrity who was in charge of promoting their product blush.

‘I don’t intend to abuse anyone even if there’s no camera, but…’

Suhyun thought of the iced chocolate she left in the car.

As he was shedding his child actor image, he was also paying attention to his favorite foods and clothing.

Even if it may not seem like a big deal to others, there are some things that the person involved does not want to know.

“…So, the product I will be shooting today is this moisturizing aloe cooling all-day double sun stick. “It’s a perfect item for summer.”

“yes.”

“One side is transparent and refreshing with 100% organic tea, and the other side is mild with mixed tea containing titanium dioxide. “It suits combination skin…”

She took out a sun stick and recited the product’s characteristics one after another like a door-to-door salesperson.

An explanation like clear water flowed through one of Suhyeon’s ears and went out the other.

“…It’s a good product.”

“sure! We are a nature house that thinks of consumers first! Would you like to apply it on the back of your hand?”

“yes.”

“Wow, your hands are very manly. Now, if you apply it like this, there will be no white cast at all, and this…”

Dahye, who was in serious promotional mode, acted like an employee serving customers at a shop.

Suhyeon slowly memorized the main points of what she said.

Even if it was just a matter of following the script, since I was in charge of publicity, I didn’t like the mindset of ‘I just need to get paid.’

“Then the part that should be used with the dialogue is this transparent part.”

“Actually, that’s true… Just pretend to lightly apply it to your skin. “If you adjust the intensity incorrectly and the makeup gets messy, it will be NG.”

Soohyun and another female model appeared together in today’s advertisement.

Su-hyeon’s role is to apply sun stick to a woman who has not applied sunscreen, saying she does not like the white cast effect.

Although it was a simple scene, it was important to capture the attention of customers with its simplicity.

“The actor has skin…”

“Oh, your skin is a bit damaged? “I’m embarrassed.”

While talking about the product and storyboard, Da-hye stared at Su-hyeon’s face.

Suhyun smiled, covering her right cheek as if she was embarrassed by those stares.

This is because I thought I had been caught using an extra layer of cosmetics than before enlisting.

‘Even though I said I would manage it, it wasn’t perfect.’

No matter how much Soohyun did, she couldn’t keep her skin intact while working outside for long hours and working on a tight schedule.

Even after applying sunscreen, my once white skin became lightly tanned, and the rough sandy wind and training left me feeling as rough as an eggshell.

As a result of doing my best to manage my skin after discharge from the military, it improved considerably, but compared to baby skin, it was 2% lacking.

‘I have to go to the beauty salon after filming today.’

Even if your skin is pretty, it’s half the price.

Knowing the importance of skin, he overcame the hassle.

I did my best to maintain my angelic childhood beauty, but after a year and a half of hardships, I could not become a simple handsome guy with an average appearance in the entertainment industry.

“Oh, you’re hurt…? Oh, I see….”

Da-hye looked at Su-hyeon with a shocked expression.

It was a look aimed at a deceiver, but Suhyun, who was already worried about her skin, did not notice her gaze.

* * *

“Then let’s start filming.”

After Soo-hyeon, who had broken up with Da-hye, had a chat with today’s partner Dal-lae and finished preparing, the producer announced the start.

With the sound of slate rubbing, Dal-lae frowned, blocking out the absent sunlight.

“Oh, I think I’m going to ride.”

“Didn’t you put on sunscreen?”

“It’s white.”

“ruler.”

Soo-hyeon took out a sunscreen stick to Dal-lae, who was complaining.

Straight and at the same height as my face so the logo can be clearly seen.

“This is okay.”

After checking his face and cosmetics in one shot through the translucent screen, he opened the lid and placed the sunscreen stick on her cheek.

Fix the chin with your left hand and gently push with your right hand to draw a line that almost touches the skin.

After completing the mission, Suhyun showed her teeth and smiled refreshingly.

“Okay, you’re safe now.”

“Hmm, that’s good. 2% disappointing. “It feels distracting, so why don’t we cut down on the lines a bit?”

“All right.”

Even though there was no NG, Su-hyeon closed the lid of the stick without any argument when the PD told her to go again.

After filming was completed according to the storyboard, there were times when things were good, or the flow that seemed good when checked on the storyboard was disappointing when it was actually performed.

This is a phenomenon that is often seen in short advertisements of 30 seconds or less, but it was a case where the focus was on conveying the effects of the product and the product failed because it failed to properly promote the important product image.

“Soohyun, how should I shorten my lines?”

“The problem now is that it’s too distracting… Should we just go all in mime instead?”

“A mime?”

“It’s expressed through action. “The effects will be explained through dubbing anyway.”

During the short preparation time, Su-hyeon discussed different methods with Dal-rae.

When I started to deviate from the existing storyboard, I had to find a ‘good picture’ through various attempts.

The sooner we found the place, the sooner we could leave work, so everyone became more diligent.

“I’ll go again.”

When the slate was laid, the two people did not spit out lines but conveyed the situation through their actions and facial expressions.

However, the PD’s expression after filming for 15 seconds was not good.

“Ugh… I don’t feel like this. And Azalea’s expression is too exaggerated, but it looks more natural. Let’s go naturally.”

“yes.”

After hearing the instruction ‘Naturally’, Dal-law smiled awkwardly.

For her, who is not an actress, ‘acting to convey everything naturally through actions’ must have been a difficult instruction.

Su-hyeon, who was worried for a moment, left the set and approached the PD.

“Director.”

“Ah, Su-hyeon.”

“I think it’s harder now that I don’t want to change the lines for narration, so how about giving me that part?”

“In what way?”

“So…”

Suhyun explained step by step the 15 seconds she had planned.

A close-up of Dal-rae with red cheeks is shown once, and from then on, attention is divided by capturing both of them in one screen.

The main shot is taken over the shoulder so that Soo-hyeon can be seen over Dal-lae’s shoulder, and Dal-lae only shows her bustle through out-of-focus hand movements.

“…Dallae’s actions can be summarized as a monologue, leaving just one last line.”

“〈It’s okay now.〉 Is this it?”

“yes.”

“hmm. I don’t think it’s bad… Su-hyeon, have you learned editing or directing?”

“I was active in the video editing club in middle school, and after that I just studied as a hobby.”

“For someone who taught himself, he knows how to capture scenes quite neatly. Is this a talent? Use it. Let’s take a look first. Hey, pull out camera number 1 to the right. Focus on Su-hyeon’s face. Oh yeah, and…”

After discussing with Su-hyeon, the PD immediately took command of the scene and moved the equipment.

It was a huge task, with all the equipment moving in sync with the camera, but the staff finished setting it up in less than 5 minutes.

In the meantime, Soo-hyeon explained the directing method to Dal-lae, and Dal-lae, free of the burden of acting, nodded with a more relaxed expression.

“Pull back the reflector. It’s too bright. Oh right. “Let’s go.”

Third attempt.

Su-hyeon looked at Dal-lae while looking at the changed camera position on the screen.

After counting slowly in his mind, he suddenly grabbed Dal-rae’s chin and applied sunscreen to her cheek.

In order to clearly see the logo written on the stick, Su-hyeon had to hold the stick with her thumb and index fingertips.

‘…It’s heavy.’

It was a small sun stick, only the size of a Zippo lighter, but it was not easy to balance and support the weight with your fingertips.

Even in that situation, Suhyeon’s expression was friendly and calm.

“It’s okay now.”

Soohyun filled the close-up screen with a gentle smile.

Contrary to his smiling face, he was embarrassed by the situation with 2 seconds remaining.

The action in the previous scene was too fast.

Suhyeon, who found it difficult to keep smiling, smiled sweetly and opened her mouth once again.

“…I’ll protect you.”

Dal-lae’s jaw was caught by the unplanned addition of lines, and her eyes widened.

The PD who was monitoring also jumped up from his seat.

“This is good!”

Those who flinched at the loud claps relaxed their muscles when they heard the positive response.

Su-hyeon, who was nervous, finally looked at Dal-lae with relief.

“I think it went well. Mr. Dal-rae.”

“Ah…”

“Mr. Dallae? Oh, I’m sorry. I forgot to take my hand off my chin. “Did it hurt?”

“Can you smile just one more time like before?”

“…yes?”

Suhyun frowned and smiled at the sudden request.

Seeing that, Dal-rae covered her mouth with both hands.

“Oppa, you’re so cool….”

“Okay! Let’s wrap up the filming and start shooting the screen! “Thank you for your hard work, Dal-rae!”

Even though the director, who completed the final confirmation, delivered good news, Su-hyeon was not completely happy.

Because my younger brother, who was three years older than me, suddenly appeared, staring at me with bright eyes.

“…Would you like me to sign your autograph?”

“yes!”

The body, full of fan service, did not forget to sign autographs and take photos even in a semi-confused situation.

Having created one Chocolat, he completed the remaining filming and recording and left for the United States a few days later.
