This Life Starts as a Child Actor Chapter 388

This Life: From a Child Actor (388)

When filming a movie, one take was more common than you might think.

If you film and finish it all at once without any NG, that’s one take.

Contrary to the dictionary definition, the technology called one take in the industry refers to a long take where a single unedited shot lasts longer than average, or a scene directed as if it were continuously shot with a single camera.

‘If you listen to it in words, it might seem like a big deal, but…’

In a movie, shots change more often and more times than the audience thinks.

If a conversation between two people lasts for three minutes, each time each character talks, the person speaking is captured in close-up, documents or important objects seen by the character are shown in extreme close-up, and the atmosphere of the scene is often depicted through shots showing both people. It is done.

‘If the screen is fixed for a long time, the audience gets bored. That’s why most of the scenes shot in long takes move with the characters.’

Suhyun raised her eyebrows when she saw the happy staff cleaning up the scene.

Whatever the name, the sense of accomplishment of completing a complex and difficult scene in one shot was extraordinary.

[river! Well done.]

[Good job, Paul.]

The dozen or so staff members who moved as one body cheered for Soo-hyeon, who succeeded in the scene as they had done in rehearsal.

Suhyun also shared her joy by bumping her fist with the hand that was extended to me.

[I was worried that there might be a mistake or two.]

[I don’t know how to hang up clothes again and remove covers, but moving exercise equipment was difficult.]

The staff looked relieved when they saw the clean set.

Su-hyeon, who had to change her clothes and show off various movements, had a hard time, but the staff who had to remove objects, build walls, and place equipment out of sight were no less difficult.

I wouldn’t have been able to share this feeling if re-filming had to be done due to a crew mess.

[Can I take a picture with you?]

[Of course. The costumes don’t have to be the same?]

[Then with a t-shirt….]

[Of course.]

Su-hyeon readily responded to her stunt double’s request to take a picture with her.

One wearing the same clothes and one taking off his top and showing off his back.

Thanks to their bodies, the photos of the two people in the same pose looked like twins.

[It’s a joke. And I’m really a fan. As a Korean, I am always supporting you.]

“Thank you.”

“Go for it.”

When the stunt double said she was cheering for me, Su-hyeon smiled and responded in Korean.

When I heard the fighting sound in the United States, I somehow missed Korea.

“I guess the actor is in a good mood!”

“Because it was done in one go.”

“It’s always nice not to have to work overtime!”

Jeong-won took off Soo-hyeon’s wig and cheered her on.

It felt a little different from what she said, but Su-hyeon laughed instead of adding.

It was a little embarrassing to explain the sense of accomplishment I achieved after returning to the field after such a long time.

[It must have been very difficult, but you

did well.] [It’s thanks to everyone’s hard work.]

[Today’s filming is over, so go and get some rest. You did a really good job.]

While Soo-hyun was removing her makeup, the production director who was in charge of the staff approached her and repeatedly said ‘Good job.’

She seemed relieved to have finished what was considered the most difficult part of the work.

‘It would be difficult to do it every time, but this is also fun.’

The staff greeted him with applause as he changed his clothes and left the scene.

I was a little embarrassed, but I liked the feeling of being in a place I was completely used to.

[Daniel, how are you? It’s been a while since Grace too. This is a gift.]

[Everything like this. Come on in.]

The evening I finished a long scene without making any mistakes.

Soo-hyun was invited to the home of Daniel, a Korean-American actor whom she had met on ‘Dear My’ in the past.

Suhyeon also did not refuse the invitation to have a meal together after a long time.

[Welcome, Su-hyeon oppa!]

Katie jumped down from the second floor at the sound of a ringtone coming from the front door, and when she found Su-hyeon, she smiled brightly and hugged her.

Even though she wasn’t as tall as Yoohyeon, Katie’s taller appearance looked more like a child than a baby.

[He has grown a lot.]

[Really? Because I drank a lot of milk! Broccoli too!]

She confidently boasted about her eating habits and invited Suhyeon to come in.

Su-hyeon walked inside, smelling home-cooked food filling her nose.

Mashed potatoes and lasagna kimchi soup were already prepared, placed on the kitchen bar.

[Did you come alone? It was okay if the manager came along.]

[It is personal time for me and the staff. It’s better to be comfortable.]

[‘Suhyun oppa!’ Please sign here!]

[Sign? Of course.]

Soohyun drew a sign on the ‘Morning Star’ poster that Katie gave her.

She said that there were many people in the Korean church who liked ‘Thirteen’ and that she would brag about it.

‘I am a source of pride among Koreans… But is Katie old enough to see that?’

Even though it leaves some doubts, I think it’s okay because I like it.

While he was hanging out with Katie, Grace called the two of them, saying that dinner was ready.

The meal on the table was delicious.

[How is filming these days? It’s been a while, isn’t it hard?]

As the meal continued, Daniel asked Suhyun about her recent feelings.

This may be due to the fact that his return to filming after two years took place in the United States, not Korea.

[It would be a lie to say there wasn’t, but everyone was so good.] Although she

experienced a certain amount of racial discrimination on set, Soohyun wasn’t afraid of filming in the United States.

This is because more people shared a relationship with him and became close friends than those who disliked him.

My mentality, trained in the entertainment industry since I was young, was stronger than I thought.

[If the Hollywood scene is good, why not settle down there? The market size and infrastructure are much larger in the US. English is not a barrier for Soo.]

[Honey.]

When Soo-hyun expressed her positive thoughts about the American market, Grace, who was taking care of Katie next to her, asked if she would rather only be active in the United States.

The difference in appearance fees between Korea and the United States is enormous.

In particular, an actor with a certain level of recognition like Soo-hyeon could receive a higher salary than he received in Korea and become a well-known actor in Hollywood.

[I like Korea. I have lived in Korea forever. The American market is attractive, but Korea has its own charm.]

Su-hyeon gently denied Grace’s words.

It is true that the US market is interesting, but it is not treated as well as in Korea.

Rather, I missed Korea every time I worked in the United States.

[Plus, there are many fans in Korea who believe in me and love me. I don’t want to break their expectations.]

[Honey was rude this time. I’m sorry, Sue.]

[I’m sorry. I didn’t mean that.]

[It’s okay. I know what you mean.]

Although a slightly sensitive topic was discussed, the atmosphere was friendly throughout the meal.

Even after the meal was over, Soohyun spent a long time sharing memories of the past year and playing together with Katie.

It was an evening that reminded me of my family in Korea.

[Cool.]

[Cool. Doesn’t he look Asian? He really hangs out with Johnny.]

[That guy was in charge of Thirteen.]

[He’s a different person? Isn’t that a lie?]

Su-hyeon smiled awkwardly as she heard the voices of people buzzing outside the filming set.

I didn’t expect so many people to come watch the last photoshoot at school.

‘Most of them are Melanie’s biggest fans.’

Melanie was a writer who instilled admiration in teenage girls.

Her works that were made into films instilled fantasy in girls, so they regarded the actors participating in the live-action films as ‘characters from books.’

They identify the role with the actor and project their own imagination.

In particular, in the case of actors with vague recognition like Soo-hyeon, there was a strong tendency to think arbitrarily based on synchronization alone.

‘It’s not that I don’t have recognition… It’s because I’ve changed a lot since I was 30.’

During the filming of ‘Thirteen’, Soohyun went on a long-term diet to create a dwarf body and acted like she was shrinking all the time.

The character also had a completely different image from ‘Johnny’, and it was difficult to find the image of ‘Thirteen’, who was closer to a boy, as he had become stronger after serving in the military.

[It’s a bit noisy today. Eat some of this.]

[Thank you.]

[What. Eat a lot.]

Samantha arrived at the scene, glanced at the girls screaming outside the line, clicked her tongue, and handed the envelope to Suhyeon.

After Su-hyeon stopped fasting, Samantha gave him various foods as gifts.

To be precise, after he chewed and finished four sandwiches, she said she liked seeing him eat well and bought him food from several fast food restaurants.

[Panini today?]

[Yes. The panini at this place is really delicious. The pesto chicken is especially special.]

Soohyun took a bite of the panini without refusing.

The combination of chicken and pesto sauce was great.

[I heard it was really delicious…]

She watched Su-hyeon’s meal with an expression of ecstasy.

It was a little burdensome, but I couldn’t kick out the person who bought me food.

[Would you like to go out with me? I’ll let you eat delicious food every day.]

[I don’t like it.]

Of course, that didn’t mean I would accept all that bullshit.

[That’s really heartless.]

[Because Sammy isn’t my type. Above all, I like acting more than dating right now.]

[Do you think I’m young when I look at things like this?]

[Sammy and I are only one year older.]

[It’s not age, it’s spirit.]

Soo-hyeon coolly treats Samantha, who is persistent. I hit it.

I didn’t feel any guilt because they didn’t mean it anyway.

[Well, Johnny only has Carly. Oh my, I’m Kali, so are you fighting me? It’s a shame.]

[Thank you for the food.]

[…Have you already eaten it all? I didn’t see much! Make this invalid, invalid!]

[It’s done, we have to prepare for the photoshoot.]

Leaving her lying on the table, Soohyun brushed her teeth and did her makeup and hair.

The eye shadow slightly smudged around the eyes created a handsome man who looked cool and blunt.

[Action.]

After completing preparations and receiving instructions from Director Jackson, Su-hyeon looked at Samantha in front of her with loving eyes.

There was no coolness to be found in his gently curved eyes.

[Carly.]

[What’s going on here?]

Samantha, who was standing with the actors who played friends 1 and 2, looked back at Suhyeon and smiled brightly.

Behind her, the actors playing her friends bit their lips and gave jealous looks.

[I think cheerleading practice is over. Let’s go together.]

[Huh. Good.]

Samantha looked smug and tapped her ponytail hair with the back of her hand.

The actor playing the friend who was standing behind her looked displeased after being hit by the hair, but she pretended not to notice and enjoyed the feeling of superiority to the fullest.

A scene where ‘Johnny’ becomes a popular guy and his friends envy ‘Carly’ who is dating him.

The scene with the typical exaggeration of a teen romance was a bit funny and lively.

‘Now, let’s hold hands and leave…’

Suhyun extended her hand to Samantha while maintaining a soft smile.

The first scene of the day was over when they held each other’s hands affectionately and left, showing off that they were lovers.

[Johnny! Let’s leave that woman and date me! I fell in love from the moment I saw you!]

Just as their hands were about to overlap, a woman jumped out, pushed Samantha away, and shouted at Soohyun.

Su-hyeon stared at the woman with a stern expression, ignoring the shouting coming from afar.

One of the novel fans who was watching burst into the filming set.
