This Life Starts as a Child Actor Chapter 704

This life is from a child actor (704)

Hollywood contracts contain much more diverse and detailed clauses than those in the Korean film industry.

As this is a business involving an astronomical amount of money, this meant checking and minimizing exceptions that could interfere with the schedule in advance.

‘If you have anything to say, say it before signing the contract.’

The meticulous contract also included an intention to help the actor with minor physical condition adjustments so that he could focus on his work, and many actors used this to confirm that they were being treated well.

Dog walking, villa, camping car, ban on broadcasting of certain sports team logos, etc.

They pushed through it by making excessive demands or unusual conditions that seemed unreasonable.

‘I consider it a kind of bonus. And then there are cases where conflicts arise.’

Of course, in order to mention arbitrary conditions, the actor must be of the right level.

Ultimately, it was the production company that accepted the content and decided to use that actor.

And Soo-hyun has gained some foothold through three films.

‘Actually, Margaret, the biggest investor, has a lot of influence, but it is true that it is possible to make personal requests as a leading lady. That’s right….’

At the time of writing the contract, Soo-hyun organized the contract details with production company officials and a lawyer by her side.

When the basic provisions were agreed upon, a representative from the production company asked Su-hyeon if there were any further conditions.

―Well, I’m hoping… Is it okay if I ask you to prepare chocolate from Fabiano Chocolate Shop every time we film?

-ha ha ha! Sure. What’s wrong with asking for a three-tier cake with a chocolate fountain instead of Fabiano chocolate!

When Soo-hyun asked if she could eat chocolate from a nearby famous handmade chocolate shop every time she filmed, the person in charge laughed heartily and said that she could add more.

However, that conversation was not specified in the contract…

‘I guess they didn’t think it would really be a requirement.’

I didn’t say this seriously, but it’s true that I wanted it deep down.

Officials and lawyers, who really thought it was just a passing comment, scolded them.

“Of course, the store is in LA, so it will take a lot of trouble to buy it…”

Suyeol made a subtle expression at Suhyeon’s muttering.

He seemed to be worried about how to react to the fact that his eyebrows were drawn into tiny smiles.

“It may be difficult to buy Fabiano, but if you want handmade chocolate…”

“It’s not difficult to buy it. “I guess I just wanted to see that kind of sincerity, or I just wanted to get a taste of a Hollywood-style contract… something like that.”

“Yes…”

As he left his words vague, Soo-yeol also answered, trailing off his words.

Silence fell between the two for a moment.

Unlike usual, the silence was extremely uncomfortable.

“Are you… by any chance, here to check it out?”

Perhaps it was difficult to bear the quiet atmosphere, but this time Suyeol spoke first.

When asked if that was all he had to do, Su-hyeon shook his head.

“No, I just asked this because it occurred to me when I saw Jeong Jeong making late-night snacks. Actually, the reason I came here was because of my schedule in Korea…” When

Su-hyeon started talking, the manager straightened his posture with his usual expressionless expression.

After confirming that the water sequence was ready, Suhyeon slowly opened her mouth.

“I checked the proposals sent from Korea. In addition to the work, there were also copies of entertainment and advertising contracts.”

“yes. Normally, I would skip it once and report it briefly, but I heard that currently, considering the possibility of delays due to time differences, the filtered proposals have also been attached as a compressed file.”

Guaranteed box office ticket, right image, unexpectedness, etc.

There were many people, not only in the film industry, who wanted ‘Top Star Kang Soo-hyun’, and there were many cases where they contacted her blindly.

Although the number decreased as they came to the U.S. to work on projects, the distance and time did not match, so they had no choice but to pass, but offers from works and programs with sufficient deadlines still remained.

‘Usually I just skim through the titles, but this time it was all organized in files, so I took a quick look.’

Su-hyeon, who was checking emails sent from the company, looked at the filtered suggestions on a whim.

Although it is extremely rare, there may be pearls in the sand within the filtered content.

And coincidentally, there was a program that caught Su-hyeon’s attention like a hangnail.

“Is it okay if I appear on ‘I’m a Mountaineer Too’?”

‘I’m a Mountaineer Too (working title)’ was a pilot entertainment show scheduled for around March or April.

As the name suggests, it was a healing travel program where the cast enjoyed nature by climbing mountains, but there was no particular merit, so they rejected it, leaving room for it.

“There is no problem with my appearance, but… can I know the reason?”

“I’m personally interested.”

“All right.”

When Su-hyeon showed signs of not wanting to explain in detail, Su-yeol nodded neatly instead of asking further questions.

He explained the points to consider when choosing a program and replied that he would bring an answer as soon as possible.

“Please do me a favor.”

“It’s okay, you don’t have to worry. Do you have any other matters?”

“no. I will wake up now. see you tomorrow.”

“see you tommorow.”

After completing his business, Su-hyeon stood up without any regrets.

I felt relieved to have finished all my work before going to bed.

* * *

The reason Soo-hyeon decided to appear in ‘I’m a Mountaineer Too (working title)’ was because of another guest appearing there.

Idol group Golden Sol.

His goal was to become a moderately popular idol.

‘To be precise, it would be like a link.’

The group itself has no connection with Suhyun, but Sol was an idol created by Heo Young-gil, the president of END’s agency.

It was a good opponent to approach from across the street and assess the current situation in Yeonggil.

‘I was worried about how to approach it, but it worked out well.’

It was a long time ago that Su-hyeon found him.

Unlike Hee-jae, Heo Yeong-gil was his real name and he lived in the entertainment industry both then and now.

Nevertheless, I did not think about visiting or meeting the company in person.

‘It’s a shame to meet face-to-face without any contact.’

Su-hyeon’s feelings for Yeong-gil were close to liking.

Although he always showed off and boasted about his personal connections, he was always grateful to the idols who had failed by helping them with their local work, paying the bills on a regular basis, and providing them with lodging and food.

However, stepping forward to repay the favor before returning was a different matter.

‘If you do it wrong, you could get your nose pierced.’

As the leader of END, Soo-hyeon met President Heo and observed how he operated.

His attitude of getting work from known PDs, known writers, celebrities and officials he knew was like that of a leech.

He coaxes, consoles, and appeals for acceptance, but then scolds.

Su-hyeon remembered the tasks the other person gave her while complaining of neurosis and telling her to eat and leave.

In the past, I was grateful for my boss’ tenacious behavior, but I was afraid of becoming the ‘neurotic person’.

‘Boss Huh doesn’t know me, so he’ll ask me for various things without hesitation, and I’ll have a hard time turning him down because I’ll be reminded of our relationship before I returned.’

Even Soo-hyeon, who has a cynical side when it comes to interpersonal relationships, finds it difficult to ignore someone who helped her during difficult times.

My relationship with President Heo was like a zipper, not a button, so I had to be careful from the start to avoid breaking it.

‘So it’s better to take a close look and be nearby as if you’re connected or not.’

Even though he considered his actions cowardly, Su-hyeon chose this method.

Even to people who had gone through hardships and hardships during the time like Bupyeong Elementary School, he could only do this.

[I will check the traffic route.]

[Okay. Thank you, Jessie.]

Su-hyeon, who had fallen into a faint state of self-loathing while her thoughts were racing, came to her senses and smiled when she heard the voice of a staff member calling her.

What was important now was filming, not Korean entertainment or the relationship I had before returning.

[Walk all the way here…]

[Tommy I want to check the menu for table 14.]

[I’ll take care of it, so don’t worry.]

[Tommy.]

[This is the kitchen! This is my area as planner and head chef! Asian brat, don’t be arrogant!]

The ‘chef’ who exchanges lines with Soo-hyeon today was played by an actor, not a chef I met when I came with the general manager not long ago.

This is because the hotel chef ‘Tommy’, who conflicts, reconciles, and cooperates with ‘Damon’, has a significant role.

Part of the kitchen was actually running, but the rest were extras, and the bustling appearance was almost staged.

[I was just making a natural request as the person in charge of the banquet.]

Su-hyeon recited the line while maintaining an upright posture without wavering.

Unlike Carmel, who played the role of ‘Tommy’, who went to rehearsal holding a script, Su-hyeon played the role without holding anything in her hands.

It’s a role where upright posture and eye contact are vital, but I couldn’t help but feel regretful when I picked up the script.

‘If that’s the case, it’s better to just sit down and practice.’

Suhyun stared at Camel while continuing to respond logically with an almost expressionless face.

Being able to make people’s faces blush that much even without CG was a talent.

‘Even though he’s not really angry, it’s just an act, he’s getting so heated.’

While Camel and Suhyun, who showed their excitement, were having a quiet snowball fight, a supporting actor holding a tray hurriedly approached.

He was a person who caused trouble in his haste, put ‘Tommy’ in trouble, and eventually provided the starting point for him to acknowledge ‘Damon’.

[Slip here and pour it out.]

[Like this?]

[Yes. Good.]

When the supporting actor pretended to pour from an empty tray, the staff instructed Soo-hyeon and Camel to do the rest of the acting.

Preparation did not take long because the only role in the scene with complicated movements was the minor role that overturned the tray.

[Tommy, I would like to check the menu for table 14.]

The camera started rolling and Soohyun performed the same act she had just rehearsed.

I reflected on my elegance several times and straightened myself from head to toe as if someone was pulling at the top of my head.

[As the person in charge of the banquet, I just made a natural request.]

As a ‘Damon’ who did not give up an inch, Soo-hyeon dealt with Camel, who expressed her anger in an even more exaggerated way than during rehearsal.

The attitudes of the two people, who were in conflict like ice and fire, contrasted.

[Oh!]

While the two were having a snowball fight, the supporting actor holding the tray stumbled, spilling the contents forward.

Soon, the lemons in the tray flew towards Suhyeon and Camel.

‘Raise your hand like this…’

Instead of flinching, Suhyun raised her arm and drew a beautiful parabola to block the flying lemons.

And a lemon was caught in Su-hyeon’s hand.

‘…Why is this in my hand?’

Suhyun, who suddenly grabbed the lemon, quickly corrected her shaking eyes.

An unexpected catch was made.
