This life starts from a child role (420)
‘He’s coming too…?’
Lee Hyun was Su-hyeon’s high school classmate and fellow student who dropped out of school together.
We didn’t see each other often because we were both busy with work, but we stayed in touch and stayed close even after we left school.
‘It’s nice to meet you after a long time… if all the members are together. hmm.’
Unlike Black Star, who became close enough to be called the 8th member, there was no interaction between Suhyun and the members of RING.
This is because the scope of their activities was different and there was no connection like the one they had before returning.
It was also a little disturbing that their agency was CL.
‘CL doesn’t seem to mind though.’
The success of ‘Red Shadow on the Moon’ also left positive results for CL, the largest investor.
Although Park Kyung-sik, a new actor who worked hard to develop, missed his debut, the company’s idol Jaekyung received a proper buff, and the company’s celebrities who appeared in major supporting roles also carved out a good filmography.
It was a happy ending for everyone except Kyung-sik, who was the male lead, and the actress who almost replaced Ye-seo.
‘Actually, it’s not a bad thing for them either. As it was, it was almost buried because of this drama.’
For an actor, choosing a project and its success were in some ways more important tasks than acting.
No matter how good an actor is, if he chooses the wrong project and fails, he is often relegated to a supporting role or his salary drops.
The reason why actors who are said to have filmed the masterpiece of their lives often retire temporarily is because they cannot overcome the pressure of choosing their next project.
‘…But I wonder if they would think that way too.’
Like the idol group END, which disappeared due to his choice, the future in which ‘Red Shadow on the Moon’ collapsed suddenly no longer existed.
Since only brilliant success remained, he might have thought that his position had been taken away.
‘Well, what’s important now is not the new actors I pushed out… If they show up like this, I’ll have to participate in the festival to some extent…’
Suhyun, who was thinking about the new actors who missed their debut, fell into trouble again.
Busy friends come nearby and I can’t ignore them.
Of course, I had to revise my schedule for the day of the festival where I was just going to quietly attend classes at school… and also consider ways to kill time before my friends’ performance started.
It may seem like a tough mission to attend the festival for two days in a row, but it will work out somehow.
‘But do I really need to bring a bouquet of flowers? It’s not something to celebrate, and it’s a bit disgusting.’
He left a message to Lee Hyun saying he would understand and searched his smartphone.
Even though I’ve been on stage, I’ve never seen someone else’s stage, so I needed some advice.

“Congratulations to PD Oh Young-tae on the 17% viewership rating.”
“thank you.”
“Hehe what. Oh, PD, you did a great job.”
“It’s thanks to the director holding on to Kang Soo-hyun tightly.”
“Hehehe.”
“ha ha ha.”
Yeongtae and the director congratulated each other on the success of the drama.
The average viewer rating for the 11th episode was 17.3%.
Highest real-time viewership rating of 20 percent.
Episode 12, which aired the next day, dropped 1.4 percent to 15.9 percent, but this was a common phenomenon after the climax aired.
‘I never thought I would actually go to the year-end awards ceremony.’
Youngtae was moved by the director’s well-wishes.
When CL invested and Park Kyung-sik was cast as the male lead, my eyes were bleak, but when Kang Soo-hyun came in, things started going well.
‘If you think about it, a fortune is a fortune.’
He praised Soo-hyeon, forgetting about the fight that had been going on throughout the filming.
Recently, all the random things he said and sabotaged the script and direction all seemed to be his passion for the work.
‘Yes, the name value won’t go anywhere.’
Yeong-tae repeatedly beautified Su-hyeon, as if asking who was the one who always criticized him for not being worthy of his name.
Even if a drama has an original work, if it becomes this much of a hit, the PD will receive a lot of benefit.
Producing the work he wanted at a reasonable time was not a dream.
“Did I say we only need to film two scenes and be done?”
“yes. “Today’s date was set due to a location issue.”
“Okay, okay. Do well until the end. “Be sure to ask actor Kang Soo-hyun if he can do one more project with us.”
“Hahaha… yes.”
PD Oh suppressed an awkward laugh at the director’s instructions.
This is because it reminded me of the subtle battle for dominance and the distance.
There was no problem with filming, but it was actually difficult to expect Soo-hyeon’s favor.
‘…Why did I do that?’
Since this is an industry where you never know how you will be reconnected, it is better to maintain gentle relationships with those who show promise.
Especially in cases like Su-hyeon, where the sprouts were not growing well and even the stems were strong, it was right to smile and move on even if there were some parts that I did not like.
‘But it turns out that the child is more conversant than I thought…’
Kang Soo-hyun did not show off, which is unusual for an actor who is enjoying the greatest popularity.
He had a good personality and skills, and was a perfect fit for the producer’s taste.
Because of this, Yeongtae became secretly greedy and demanded more than he had initially planned.
‘What should I say?’
The relationship, which had been strained since the middle of filming, continued until recently.
To be honest, now that it is over, there are some parts that I have neglected to manage.
‘…Do you think he won’t listen?’
I regret why I acted so microscopically.
Every time the director was happy, Youngtae smiled soullessly.
I was worried about how I should tell the story to Soo-hyeon, whom I would meet later.
* * *
“It’s finally the last shoot!”
“I know. “I didn’t know the schedule would be this tight.”
“This is what the shooting schedule is all about.”
Su-hyeon and Ye-seo, dressed in costumes, had a long conversation and looked at the script.
The filming took place less than a week before the broadcast, so they might have been impatient, but their attitude was relaxed.
‘If there’s this much left until the end, it’s more than enough.’
There is no script and there is no need to quickly shoot the scene as soon as it is filmed.
For two people who have experienced various drama scenes, this was a decent pace.
“Have you decided on your next project?”
“Umm… not yet.”
Su-hyeon smiled bitterly at Ye-seo’s question.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t decide on his next project until October was approaching.
This is because good works rarely caught the eye.
Although there were a few works that caught my eye, they were generally aimed for release in the next year, so they did not fit the cycle that Su-hyeon wanted.
“how about you?”
“I like drama. I received a proposal for a detective story because I liked Seomun Yeo-ryeong’s girlish image. Role as head of the homicide squad. Made by Netfilms. “It’s really about catching criminals.”
“Oh congratulations.”
“thank you.”
Ye-seo smiled brightly and expressed her joy by drawing a V.
He must have been happy to be offered a serious investigative work, as he complained that he was tired of romance being a constant part of every work he came in.
It was something to celebrate because I had signed a contract with the project I wanted.
“What kind of work do you want?”
“bad guy? Even though Wei Yunling wasn’t a good guy… I really want to play the role of an undeniable villain.”
“Hmm. It’s difficult…”
The public liked the ‘attractive villain’ character.
There are no lines to follow like a line, so every action is refreshing, strong, and cool.
However, creating such a role was not as easy as expected, and directors and writers did not prefer it.
Maybe it’s a dark hero, but in a market where the majority favor good and punish evil, the victory of the evil protagonist was the minor of minors.
Unless it is a live-action adaptation of the original picaresque work (a genre that deals with the narrative of villains with moral flaws) that has a strong fan base, or illuminates the story of a villain that appeared in the main story like ‘Morning Star’, it is rare to use a truly evil character as the main character.
“I also thought about a two-top lead role, but the two-top role is about good and evil, or a bad guy vs. a bad guy. “The picture is a little different from what I want.”
“It’s difficult… Is that really what you want to do?”
“It’s greedy.”
“Mmm.”
Just as a singer needs a song to perform on stage, an actor needs a scenario and script.
No matter how much you said you wanted to do it, if there was no supply, there was no option.
Ye-seo, who had been pondering along with Su-hyeon for a while, eventually shook her head.
“It’s not one of the works that I know of.”
“I guess that’s true too.”
“I’ll let you know if I hear any news.”
“thank you.”
“what.”
“Mr. Su-hyeon and Mr. Yeseo.”
While the two were in the midst of talking about their next schedule, PD Oh, who usually had AD directing the scene, came to visit the two in person today.
Even though ‘Red Shadow on the Moon’ was boasting great results, his expression did not look very bright.
“Yes, director. “Can I go?”
“Uh oh. is it so. hmm. Yeseo, would you like to go first? “I have something to say to Su-hyeon.”
After seeing the two, the PD cleared his throat and glanced at Ye-seo.
Ye-seo pursed her lips for a moment, then exchanged glances with Su-hyeon and left.
It was the last day, so I calculated that PD Oh wouldn’t make a fuss.
“What’s going on, Director?”
“Hmm, Su-hyeon. By any chance… have you chosen your next project?”
PD Oh glanced at the number of rows that were separated and cautiously opened his mouth.
It was a topic that was being talked about so much that she almost made a mistake, but Su-hyeon smiled and hid her true feelings.
I don’t know why you’re asking this, but it was advantageous to open the hand later.
“well. “Why are you asking that?”
“Well… if you haven’t chosen a project yet, I thought it would be a good idea to work with KBC one more time.”
“Aha yes.”
When asked if she would like to film another drama, Soohyun made a strange expression.
It was amazing that he made such a suggestion after always fighting with all his might over the direction and script.
“I’m focusing on movies rather than dramas.”
“Oh yeah? Still…”
“I want to create work that reflects my opinions more when necessary.”
Su-hyeon, who interrupted Yeong-tae, refused with a troubled expression.
By making it clear that ‘your actions had a huge influence on making this decision.’
PD Oh’s expression became awkwardly distorted as if he understood what he meant.
“Hahaha… I see. all right.”
“It sounds like something was discussed at the director or broadcasting station level, but if it’s difficult to convey, should our manager call you directly?”
“Oh my! no. Since this is an internal matter at the broadcasting station, I will pass it on. “Don’t worry about it.”
“Still, it’s polite to see something like this in person and say no.”
Producer Oh seemed embarrassed and repeated that there was no need to do that, as if he knew that this was a prank disguised as kindness.
It seemed like he was afraid that the animosity between him and Soo-hyeon would become known to the broadcasting station.
‘If that’s what I wanted to do, I would have already gone through my agency and told them… Still, it’s true that I was mean, so should I pretend to be hurt a little longer?’
The same goes for Soohyun, who can just leave after filming is over.
He disguised the parts that annoyed him during filming as disappointment, and Young-tae maintained an awkward smile, saying, “You’re right.”
“…I’m going in. cue!”
Even though there wasn’t much filming left, the two who had established their relationship soon returned to their seats.
As the camera rolled, Soo-hyeon gazed at Ye-seo seen through the fluttering flower petals.
Dressed beautifully in a dangari, she exuded dignity and elegance.
“ma’am.”
Su-hyeon opened her mouth to Ye-seo, who was hanging her bowed head like a tail.
Not Yeo-ryeong or Hee-bin.
A title that can only be used by a mistress was given to her.
“your majesty.”
Ye-seo approached Su-hyeon with light steps.
The golden breastplate was clearly visible in the center of her outfit.
