This Life Starts as a Child Actor Chapter 386

This Life From a Child Actor (386)

Soohyun headed to the filming set with excitement and a little nervousness.

It’s been about two years since I’ve been on site, so I was excited for no reason even though there was nothing new.

“The campus is nice.”

Upon arriving at the filming location, Suhyun was impressed by the well-manicured lawn, clean building walls, and wide American football stadium.

The beautiful campus that we often see in Hollywood movies unfolded before our eyes.

“ULC High School covers management and other operating expenses by renting a venue every year. “Even if it’s just for one month a year, I make a lot of money doing it.”

The more funds there are, the more welfare and benefits can be provided to students and the facilities can be expanded.

For this reason, American schools often engage in side businesses other than education, and for schools with beautiful scenery, movie location rentals served as a valuable source of income.

Although there is opposition from nearby residents.

“Even though it’s the weekend, there are kids active at school, so the scenes inside the school are done on the set… Today, we only have exterior filming scheduled. “The scene you appear in is walking in front of the female protagonist who is chatting with her friends…”

Hyun-soo, who followed Sang-il to the set, recited one by one the scenes that needed to be filmed today.

Su-hyun listened to Hyeon-soo’s briefing and moved to the place where the staff members were gathered, following the information that had been delivered last night.

The staff was busy adjusting the camera’s position, reflector microphone, and the actors were lingering in place, getting their faces powdered or chatting.

[Hello, Sue. You look stylish today.]

[Hello. Mr. Roberts, Mr. Taylor, and Ka….]

[The words are too stiff. Call me Sammy.]

[That’s right, Ms. Camille. You look so old. After a while, won’t you become a ma’am?]

[That’s terrible.]

[Men who are too polite are also unpopular. Become a person who knows how to enjoy life. (Be a playboy.)]

The three women, including Samantha, laughed lightly and gave mischievous advice.

When they met while rehearsing the script, he realized that Su-hyeon was a polite person and seemed to be joking around with him.

‘If I show a straight face here, I can get an apology…’

Suhyun smiled bitterly and replied, ‘I’m more interested in acting than having fun (playboy).’

I didn’t want to ruin the mood by making a face at an innocent joke.

‘I don’t know if you’re taking it lightly, but there’s no need to fight. ‘I’ve just started.’

No matter what anyone said, the most expensive actor in the field was Soo-hyeon.

Although Samantha, a former model, is well-known in the United States, she cannot compare to her acting skills, which were recognized for her acting skills as a main supporting character in blockbusters.

Strictly speaking, Samantha was a role that appealed to American teenage women as a fantasy and to men as sexy.

No matter how much she returned after two years, if Soo-hyeon started a war of nerves to take the lead, Samantha had to shut up and follow.

‘If we do that, we’ll have to fight with Melanie, and the process of settling down will become more difficult.’

Even so, people are already anti-Japanese because they are Asians and foreigners.

It would be difficult to work in a foreign country if you were hostile to each person because you heard a joke that did not fit your sentiment.

[number! Come this way.]

[Good morning, Jackson.]

[How long does it take to change clothes?]

[My staff has headed to the makeshift locker room, so 30 minutes will be enough.]

[Good! Then, hurry up and change!]

In areas related to youth, such as schools, regulations were strict.

Even though I paid money to rent it, I had to be careful not to interfere with students’ classes or activities, and the time was strictly set.

These requirements were applied more strictly to works that were large in scale and had famous actors, and because there were many things to keep in mind, it was common for spaces that were easy to decorate, such as hallways and classrooms, to be carried out using sets or other facilities.

‘Even so, there is little time left from the first day. Well, all this time is money.’

With that in mind, Su-hyeon changed into the clothes that Jeong-won gave her.

Wearing the clothes he wore on the day of practice and carrying a military-style backpack, he looked like a typical American male student.

“Wear headphones too!”

“…This?”

“yes! “If you walk around outside with headphones that cover all your ears, you look like someone who’s done some digging!”

“….”

Su-hyeon, who put the headphones on top of her shaggy wig, looked in the mirror and hung the headphones around her neck.

Whether it was the gloomy appearance that said he would do well in his studies or the atmosphere of being isolated from the world, it was impressive in a way that was different from usual.

‘He’s a really talented person.’

The more Suhyun experienced, the more she liked Jeongwon’s skills.

Achieving this feeling through coordination and styling rather than special techniques would have been impossible without a good eye and sense.

“I’ll be back.”

“yes! Fighting, actor!”

Satisfied with his transformed appearance, he headed to the scene, receiving a friendly send-off from Jeongwon.

Samantha, who was in the middle of filming, was showing off to her friends 1 and 2 in a flirtatious manner.

[So, I am the captain. Don’t be jealous about things like this. You become unhappy.]

[…But still, Carly. It’s an exaggeration to say that all the boys like you.]

[It’s not an exaggeration, it’s a fact.]

Perhaps because it was meant to be a romantic comedy, I could feel the exaggeration in Samantha’s every action.

The actions of shrugging one’s shoulders or making a mean face while criticizing a friend seemed childish at first glance, but they were quite effective in expressing the character ‘Carly’.

‘It’s the image of a valley girl with a bit of hair.’

Just as there are students in Korea who admire Iljin’s bravado, there were also many in the United States who fantasized about the so-called popular class.

Therefore, Samantha’s bravado and demeanor, who had ‘the most ideal appearance’, fit perfectly with ‘Carly’, the school goddess and captain of the cheerleading team.

‘I was a bit worried because I used to be a model, but I’m glad I did.’

While he was appreciating the synchronization between ‘Carly’ and Samantha, the director’s cut signal sounded.

Su-hyeon passed the staff preparing for the next scene and approached the director.

Director Jackson, who was giving instructions here and there, looked Suhyun up and down and smiled with satisfaction.

[I felt it last time too, but their skills are better than our staff. Those headphones suit you too. It would be good to wear it when walking in front of the camera.]

[Yes.]

[Do you see the guy over there with the blue hat? You can go to that friend. Jimmy! If you install it like that, the voice will be…!]

The director only conveyed the necessary information without adding any unnecessary details.

As this was her first time seeing a director with such a mechanical attitude, Soo-hyun felt strange and walked towards the staff member that Jackson had mentioned.

* * *

[Action.]

After confirming that the slate was colliding, Su-hyeon moved slowly, turning the pages of the small book he had been handed.

Even though I had my head down, it wasn’t difficult to read the situation through the screens floating in front of me.

‘They’re still talking and adding lines… I thought they’d film these parts separately and then composite them together, but they just keep changing the focus.’

Suhyeon checked the focus of the camera that moved from me to Samantha and gave a small exclamation.

When moving from a close subject to a distant subject, the focus may be in an awkward position, but the camera that focused on him was neatly moved to the girls, connecting them to the next scene.

In sites where CG was used sparingly, there was unique know-how on site.

‘It’s clear that they’re a talented team, seeing that they get in on the same thing on the first take without any fine-tuning.’

Soohyun, who was walking slowly, checked the screen to see Samantha approaching and looked for an X-shaped tape attached to the floor.

The remaining distance to the point is 2 meters and the distance from Samantha is approximately 3 meters.

Su-hyeon adjusted his speed in order to be caught neither too fast nor too slow.

‘He’s cool even though he walks pretty fast. Should I say I’m full of spirit?’

Samantha moved while shouting with her whole body, ‘This is what model walking is like!’

The legs that cross in an

[Hey.]

[….]

[Hey! Are you deaf? Hey!]

When Soohyun walked away pretending not to hear, Samantha slapped him on the back.

Su-hyeon slowly turned his head as if he had finally realized it.

Samantha, with her arms crossed and a haughty expression on her face, welcomed him.

[Hello.]

[…Hello.]

[You probably already know, but let me introduce myself. [Kali.]

[…Johnny.]

Unlike her who spoke confidently, Soohyun looked wary and answered a beat slowly.

I crouch down to the point where I don’t feel servile, lean back slightly, and grab the strap of the bag I’m carrying.

Soohyun expressed ‘Johnny’s’ emotions through small movements.

Since half of the face was covered, the character’s psychology had to be conveyed through the body.

[Yes, Johnny. I’ll give you a chance to hang out with me. Oh, there’s no need to say it. I know very well that it is an honor.]

Her over-confident appearance was very unlucky, but it suited her well.

Listening to the vivid lines, Su-hyeon slowly straightened her body.

The moment when exclusive wariness toward the other person turns into annoyance.

Su-hyeon maintained a blank expression as she looked at the close-up screen of herself.

Since she played ‘Kali’ wonderfully, it was also time for her to show off the potential of an actress who has been acting for over 10 years.

[I’m not really interested.]

In a very cold and indifferent tone.

A man who is kind to the woman he likes, but endlessly indifferent to the woman he is not interested in. That was ‘Johnny’.

[What?]

[First of all, I don’t know who you are.]

[You don’t know me?]

[It seems a bit stupid to talk like that in the first place.]

[Stupid…!]

Every time you say something, you act like you’re going to grab the back of your neck. Samantha’s acting of surprise was fun.

I knew this was the right combination, but it felt pleasant.

[Am I stupid? Is it a prejudice that blondes are stupid?]

[No, it doesn’t matter if you’re a blonde, it’s your actions.]

Even in front of Samantha who was yelling at her, Soohyun’s voice was calm.

If a puppy that is only a few months old is not good at walking and whines, would it be similar to me?

The key point was that even though it was insignificant, I was the only one who didn’t know about it.

[And…]

Soohyun, who made eye contact with Samantha and only moved her lips, lowered her head for the first time.

He stared at Samantha’s breasts quietly, as if he couldn’t sense the slightest attraction.

Even as he looked at the valley, which was almost half exposed, the corners of Suhyeon’s mouth did not change.

[The clothes size seems a bit small. Wearing clothes that fit your size is good for blood circulation.]

[Sigh!]

After finishing the last line, Soohyun walked out of the camera without any regrets.

A screen floating in front of him showed Samantha, who was left alone, with her face distorted, looking at her friends standing in the distance, her back, and her own breasts.

Suhyun laughed softly as she heard the cut sound.

Acting with other people in front of the camera was also fun.
