This Life From Child Actor (677)
“It seems like we filmed it for a very long time, but it’s really scary that it’s only been a month.”
Najin, who came out to enjoy the mountain breeze, looked blankly into space and complained.
Najin, who was struggling to make a living as an unknown actor, quickly accepted the role of a ‘second-year flute’, who was provided with room and board for nearly two months and even received an allowance, and joined the ‘July Concertmaster’.
I thought many times that I was lucky that I learned to play the flute instead of the piano when I was young, but I was a little bored and frustrated with the life of being half-locked and only focusing on filming because I didn’t have a car.
‘Actually, unknown people like us are busier than the main actors.’
At first glance, it seems that highly paid actors who have different schedules and go back and forth between filming sets have busier schedules, but when they have a big schedule, the people who squeeze in the empty moments are unknown actors like Najin.
When the main characters were not present, it was the unknown actors’ job to wait for 5 or 10 hours in infinite standby mode, either for passing extras or for scenes in which they were not present.
As the time spent in the field was different, the flow of time experienced in nature was also different.
“Still, this is heaven. When you’re not filming, you can rest at your dorm instead of being in a hot place, right? Of course, the size of the bugs is extremely disgusting.”
“Actually, this is the first time I can afford to have a beer in the evening.”
Those who sat on the stone steps and drank beer found romance while looking at the stars in the sky.
It was a small amount of leisure in the arduous schedule that continues every day.
“Oh, isn’t that Actor Kang?”
As we were spending a summer night in the mountains emptying beer cans, Yeyoung, who was next to Rajin, pointed straight ahead with her finger.
“If you are Kang Soo-hyun, you are still… Oh, you are Soo-hyun.”
“I guess you arrived first this evening because you have a photo shoot tomorrow.”
“Shooting two works at once is a big task.”
The topic that had been going on for a while changed to a story about Su-hyeon as soon as he was discovered.
Na-jin looked at Su-hyeon, who appeared every time she passed under a streetlight.
I must have been tired after filming, but to be honest, I was a little tired of jogging at this time.
‘Do you think you have to be able to manage yourself so strongly to be successful even at a young age?…’
From his perspective, Kang Soo-hyun doesn’t ignore actors who are worse than him or treat them like servants, but he also doesn’t make any effort to become close to them.
He was not interested in others and spent most of his time on himself, but he tormented himself to the point where he wondered if he should put in the same effort even in that position.
Although I was impressed by his appearance, he often seemed like a pervert.
‘I guess that’s the level at which he enjoys pain… When you look at top actors, you can see that they all have a twisted corner somewhere, and in that sense, he’s also a jerk.’
Of course, it is reassuring for those behind the scenes to have someone who is serious about their work lead the work.
Still, when I looked at myself like that and looked at myself, I felt a little distressed because my efforts felt insignificant.
“Oh, there’s a raccoon next to me.”
Na-jin, who had put down the can because she had lost the taste of beer, looked at Su-hyeon’s feet when she heard Ye-young’s voice.
As she said, a small cat ran vigorously next to Soo-hyeon, who was running slowly.
I don’t know where the leash came from, but the distance between the two connected by the leash remained constant, as shown in the picture.
‘Was the cat a walking creature?’
Na-jin, who was not particularly interested in the cats wandering around the filming set, looked at the actresses who kept squealing and saying cute things, with an incomprehensible look in their eyes.
The cat faction may be dominant in the field, but he was a steadfast dog faction.
“I only saw it on You Tube about a walking cat.”
“Our raccoon is a water attribute. “A water-type cat that can only be met if three generations have accumulated merit.”
“If Ha Soo-hyeon hadn’t been chosen, she would have been our cat.”
“Wake up from your dream. Don’t you know that the director was keeping an eye on you too? “Because it was Actor Kang, the director took a step back, but it wouldn’t have been possible if it had been someone else.”
“That’s right.”
The two actresses put their heads together and raved about the coolness of cats.
He didn’t hesitate to talk about how he liked the combination of a handsome man and a cat, and how he felt fatherly love when he held a raccoon.
‘It looks like Yeyoung and Duyeon are drunk. By the way, he’s a handsome man and a cat…’
Na-jin just looked straight ahead and stared at Su-hyeon, who was working hard at exercising, and the cat moving red next to her.
A small cat and a tall man were not as perfect as they said.
‘Wouldn’t a big dog suit you better? Soo-hyun is big, bold, and loyal, and has a great body, so she must be a perfect pictorial, right?’
Still, if you voice this opinion out loud, you will be scolded by half-drunk women.
The dog faction, caught between the cat faction, was sad.
“But seeing that look makes me accept that Su-hyeon carries a raccoon with her.”
“Oh, you too? To be honest, I was a bit like that too… but when I see that, I have no choice but to admit it.”
“right?”
“why? Duyeon? “Is there something wrong with Soo-hyeon taking the cat?”
As the women’s conversation progressed strangely, Junmyeong, who was emptying his second can next to him, intervened between the two with a curious voice.
He was curious as to whether Rajin was the same, so he quietly listened.
“Well, the raccoon is a cat that was originally here. Of course, Soo-hyeon was chosen, but it’s still okay to take her to another filming location while filming is still in progress…” ”
Besides, cats are territorial animals, so isn’t it a bit violent to take them to a filming location other than their home? “I think it is.”
“Well, there was an argument between the actors and the staff because of that. Even if Soo-hyeon adopted the raccoon dog, it is a cat that appears in a movie and this is its current home, so it would be a bit unfair to take it in.”
“that’s right. “He is the cat responsible for our healing.”
Najin felt sobered by the unexpected conflict beneath the surface.
Unlike him, who didn’t care whether they took the cat or not, they were really serious.
‘It’s scary to hear that a top actor on set is upset because of a cat.’
I wonder if the complaints and emotions of unknown actors and lower-level staff members would have such an impact, but in the end, it was the sand on the beach that made up the majority of the scene.
Of course, it was a problem that could be solved if Soo-hyeon left the cat behind, but it could not be denied that there were seeds of conflict.
“But if a raccoon goes for a walk like that on its own, I have nothing to say.”
“I mean, I often bring snacks for the raccoon, but seeing the raccoon follow Su-hyeon like that makes me feel bad for the raccoon.”
“Really, only reveal our raccoon face.”
“that’s right.”
The two drunkards were now blaming the cat for its heartlessness and whimpering and saying strange things like, ‘If you’re good-looking, you’ll die. If you’re good-looking, you’ll die.’
Feeling like she would only get drunk if she stayed like this, Na-jin glanced at Jun-myeong who was sitting next to her.
He, too, seemed to sense that it was time to let go, and nodded slightly.
“Has everyone come out to get some night air?”
“Oh my, Suhyun!”
“Suhyun, when did you come? “I didn’t even know it was there.”
“It’s only been a few hours since we arrived. “I came early because I had to film early tomorrow.”
While the four people were looking at each other, Soo-hyeon approached them and spoke with a sad smile.
Even as he held the tired cat in his arms and poured water into a small cup, his eyes were focused on the four people.
‘Wow, he looks really handsome from this angle.’
Najin thought that he was as drunk as the two women.
Even if you were looking down at a 45 degree angle from above and the streetlights were backlit, it didn’t make sense to think that a man with glistening sweat would look handsome unless he was drunk.
“Soohyun, would you like to have a drink too? “It’s cool because there’s an icebox.”
“No, I have a photo shoot tomorrow, so I’m just going to exercise a little more and then take a shower and sleep.”
“Didn’t you film all day today? Im not tired?”
Despite the actors’ cajoling, Soo-hyeon didn’t know how to give in.
Looking at him smiling awkwardly, Najin felt a little twisted inside.
I know that this is a natural attitude for an actor who has a first day of shooting tomorrow morning, but still, ‘Are they looking down on us because we are unknown actors?’ My sense of entitlement welled up.
Even though I hated thinking about this, it was hard to stop.
“Is a can of beer alcohol? “It’s a drink.”
The pretentious provocation that came out of his mouth was not just empty words.
“Mr. Najin….”
“….”
“…I’m sorry.”
Najin, who completely sobered up in the momentary silence, bowed his head and apologized.
No matter how much Soo-hyeon looked at him, there was a huge gap between him and Na-jin.
This means that this is not someone you can comfortably say what you want while drunk.
If Soo-hyeon was in a bad mood and told him to cut her, Na-jin couldn’t be on set from tomorrow.
“no. It’s true that a can of beer is light. “I’m just greedily working on two projects and I don’t want to neglect either one, so I’ve been quitting drinking recently.”
Seeing Soo-hyeon saying that she would do her best in her role, Na-jin felt embarrassed once again.
I sincerely regret my actions of belittling him for his hard work and lack of qualifications.
“Ah… I’m really sorry.”
“You really don’t need to apologize like that.”
When he sincerely and regretfully apologized again, Su-hyeon showed a troubled smile and then let out a small exclamation.
Then he handed the leash he had to Najin.
“Then, as an apology, would you mind taking care of the raccoon for a while? I want to sprint, but the raccoon seems to be tired of it. However, I was in trouble because they kept blocking my steps.”
“Oh yes…”
“Thank you.”
“Nyaa nyaaaa.”
“You bastard. “I’m having a good time with my sisters and brothers.”
Najin, who suddenly took charge of the cat, looked down at the cat that was not moving and was crying sadly.
A meowing cat, a top actor working out alone at night, and colleagues having a drink…
It was a messy drinking party, but the moon was bright.
* * *
“I was really sorry about yesterday.”
“It’s okay. “It wasn’t like I was swearing at all.”
“But…”
“It’s really okay.”
Soo-hyeon smiled awkwardly at the male actor who bowed his head and apologized early in the morning.
I met a minor actor last night, and I felt burdened by his low profile.
‘Was his name Najin? To be honest, I got a little emotional when they provoked me by asking if it was a drink that I said I wouldn’t drink.’
Still, his attitude of apologizing and bowing his head right afterward wasn’t bad.
The fact that he came again after completely sobering up was a plus.
“And Su-hyeon… I don’t know if you know this…”
Na-jin, who bowed her head once more, hesitated and continued carefully.
Recently, the mood was about Su-hyeon in relation to Raccoon.
‘Well, the raccoon is a beloved cat.’
Su-hyeon realized that her actions could make others feel bad.
It was essential to take him with him because he also has a phobia of cars, but he definitely couldn’t rely on the raccoon alone.
‘It’s not a good thing to show to others.’
Su-hyeon left the place after leaving a small thank you.
It wasn’t a bad idea to talk about yesterday’s events, but now it was time to focus on filming.
“Mr. Suhyeon! Welcome.”
“Good night, Director.”
“Sure. Rather than that, today is finally the day….”
Director Go, who received a cursory greeting from Soo-hyeon again today, clenched his fists without being able to hide his excitement.
“Finally today! “It’s a shining day for Soohyun and Raccoon’s duet!”
