This Life Starts as a Child Actor Chapter 427

Since This Life is

an in-house production, starting with child actors (427), two of the three leads in ‘Repentance’ were played by Soohyun and Lee Hoon from Crown.

At first glance, it seems similar to what CL did when investing in ‘Red Shadow on the Moon’, but the casting for the two works was completely different in nature.

‘If the production company wanted to cast me and senior Lee Hoon at the same time, they would have had to think about production costs from the beginning.’

CL used the work as a means to promote the agency’s celebrities.

A large number of unproven new actors and idols were put into the drama.

However, both Soo-hyun and Lee Hoon were already well-known and recognized for their acting skills, so they did not need such publicity.

‘It’s a choice that can be called a crown rather than an abuse of power.’

In fact, since the production and investment was Crown, Soohyun also benefited a lot from the contract.

Because the appearance fee is slightly lower, the running guarantee has increased.

As it was a well-chosen work, his will was clearly revealed.

“Then let’s look at the free performance first. “Starting from number 1.”

Deokhoon may have memorized what he was going to say in advance, but even though he was nervous, he calmly conducted the audition.

The participants, who were more nervous than the director, stood up one by one following Deok-hoon’s instructions.

“Hello, this is Ha Jin-taek, number 1, who applied for the role of Jo Kang-jin. “I will play a husband who gaslights his wife.”

Contestant number 1, who stood up confidently, took a deep breath and said he would try to act like a bad husband.

He closed his eyes for a long time, then opened them and glared at the floor.

“You’re the woman who cheated on my child. How many times have I seen you do something like this…!”

Contestant No. 1 swore loudly when he said he would play the role of a gaslighting husband.

Suhyeon showed a distant expression at the feast of harsh swearing.

It was so serious that I thought that just swearing would make me look rough.

“That’s it. There’s nothing more to see. “Just go ahead and leave.”

While Su-hyeon was at a loss for words, Lee Hoon, who was sitting on her left, decisively interrupted participant number 1’s actions and gave a congratulatory order.

This meant that I would not look at the acting behind me.

“yes? Why! “I’m still acting.”

“I am mistaken in thinking that swearing is strong and violent. We’re here to see the acting, not to appreciate the profanity in number one. “There’s no time, so get out quickly.”

“Profit….”

The contestant, who was struck by Lee Hoon’s words, left the audition room with his face stained red.

The sound of pounding footsteps announced the first hearing, but no one paid any attention to it.

“Then number 2.”

“yes. This is Choi Ga-il, who applied for the second role of Choi Yeo-ul. “I will act out Hannah’s monologue from the movie ‘Gloomy Days.’”

As the person in front of him was quickly kicked out, participant number 2 carefully introduced himself and performed a passable script.

Because he was timid and weak, he had no choice but to hang out with his wife, ‘Yeoul’, who cooperated with ‘Kang Jin’, but there was nothing special about him beyond that.

‘It’s not very noticeable, but it’s still not bad.’

Su-hyeon left a short evaluation in document number 2.

While filming a work, I needed a character who seemed to be absent even though he was a major supporting character.

Especially when there are three strong main characters like in this work, it would have been better to slightly suppress the other characters in order to focus on them.

‘I’ve seen one person now, but I’m not at the stage to worry about it.’

There are five people to select, and we are just getting started.

In order to avoid additional overtime, we had to diligently eliminate and weed out the candidates.

“Hello, I’m number 3…”

After the 2nd performance, the 3rd free action began.

Perhaps because number 1 was strange, the remaining two participants showed an acceptable performance.

“Now then…”

Deok-hoon, who confirmed that the two people acted freely, ordered them to perform designated acts this time.

Because the designated ambassadors were distributed in advance, no separate preparation time was given.

“great. Thanks for your efforts.”

“It was No. 2 Choi Ga-il. thank you.”

When the designated postponement was over, Director Choi sent the two people out.

Suhyeon stared at the clock, 10 minutes had passed.

There are still a lot of contestants to be judged, but I’m already nervous.

‘To think that I have to watch the same performance dozens of times… judging is not an easy task.’

Out of over a hundred pages of documents, I have barely finished anything.

Su-hyeon drank ice water and strengthened his fighting spirit.

His goal was to select them all today and get the crank in early.

“brother! Are you dead?”

“Oh my brother is dead.”

“…Why am I so weak? it hurts?”

“No… it’s just too hard.”

“mom! He said he was sick! Strange!”

The day after the audition.

While Su-hyeon was lying in bed until late in the morning, Yoo-hyeon broke into the room and stared at Su-hyeon in confusion as she did not wake up, then disappeared, distorting the truth.

Suhyun, who was trying to stop her younger brother, pursed her lips a few times and lowered her arms.

He didn’t have enough energy to stop his energetic younger brother.

‘Yesterday was so difficult….’

It was not easy to check the performances of over 100 participants and select who passed the second round among them.

Seeing is seeing, but the opinions of the three people differed slightly during the evaluation meeting.

The actor that Soo-hyeon liked was rejected by Lee Hoon, saying he was too average, or the director actually liked the character that the two of them didn’t like.

Rather than just sitting still and checking the participants’ performances, the gathering of opinions afterwards was more of a letdown.

‘I think I know why Chaemin was excluded when he could have been included… The judging process is no joke.’

With great power comes great responsibility.

Once Su-hyeon was in a position to choose other people, she had to put in a lot of mental energy to choose them properly.

I just hope they play their roles properly in this filming.

‘There’s still the second round… so there’s still the final one left.’

Although it was reduced to less than five fingers per role, there were still many candidates.

These candidates had to be whittled down to one per role, and the day-to-day work involved in casting was over.

‘The good news is that other than the five characters, the rest will be selected through casting director recommendations or simple meetings, so it will be over soon… Huh?’

Su-hyeon, who was dozing off wrapped in a blanket, stared at the door when she heard a pounding noise approaching.

The hurried steps gradually became louder.

“Suhyeon! Are you sick?”

“…mom?”

“Yoohyeon said you’re sick… are you feverish? Your temperature is normal, but do you have a headache? “My son is strong, so he doesn’t get sick much except when he was young…”

“Mom, calm down.”

Ji-yeon rushed over to Soo-hyeon, touched her face, and looked at him with concern in her voice.

Su-hyeon, who enjoyed the touch for a moment with a dazed mind, soon remembered why this division occurred.

My younger brother’s prank was too much to make a person who was obviously tired sick.

“Yoohyeon was just joking. Even though I said no earlier, I never thought I would run to my mom.”

“Isn’t it really painful somewhere? “Mom, you were surprised.”

“Yes, no. You don’t apologize? What are you staring at? “I have to come here and take care of things.”

“I’m sorry. “I was wrong.”

Yoohyeon, who had joked once and then got into trouble, hesitated to come into the room and ask for forgiveness.

He didn’t expect Jiyeon to be this worried.

“Your complexion was so bad yesterday. “So I thought you were sick today.”

“I’m just tired from using my brain so much that I wasn’t using it before. I think I would have been less tired if I had worked all night…”

“You look really tired. Are you going to sleep better?”

“yes. I left my schedule blank because I was afraid the meeting would continue until today. “I’m going to rest while I’m at it.”

“okay. Sleep some more. Yoohyeon goes out with her mom. “Our Yoohyeon needs to go and get scolded.”

“Huh why? I apologized earlier. “I said I was sorry?”

Suhyeon lifted the blanket up to her head as she heard the footsteps gradually getting farther away.

It’s been a while since I woke up and dreamed in bed, but I needed a day like this to organize my day.

* * *

“The end of the year is approaching.”

Suhyun looked at the bustling appearance of the agency and briefly expressed her impressions.

Late October.

As the harvest season approaches, the excited atmosphere and the busy behavior of the employees come together.

‘Because there are many candidates for the Crown every year.’

Since Crown only gathered active and talented actors who were Chaemin’s tastes, Crown was overflowing with candidates for awards ceremonies at the end of every year.

Therefore, there were many invitations to sort through, quite a few places to participate, and there was often subtle competition between actors from the agency.

‘For me, the first half of the movie is a Hollywood movie, so that doesn’t matter.’

‘Sweetie Nerd’ was a worldwide hit, earning more than 15 times its production cost.

Since it was a commercial film, it was unlikely to reach the podium, but it was good for the pocketbook.

‘KBC called it right away.’

The KBC Drama Awards, held on December 31st, had not even opened its website yet.

However, the works that were nominated for Al-Eum-Al-Eum were known, and the drama department seemed to have already confirmed that ‘Red Shadow on the Moon’ would win the award.

‘What’s important is whether you win the grand prize or not. It’s too early to get excited.’

It is unknown whether it will be the grand prize, the grand prize, or just the excellence prize.

It was easier for me to set aside my curiosity rather than have high expectations and be disappointed later.

“Actor! “Now we just have to do the final screening tomorrow and we’ll be cranking in!”

“Yes, at this rate, I think we will be able to open before the end of the year.”

“This is great!”

Suhyun took a deep breath as she thought about the second screening that was just around the corner.

It is a matter of selecting actors for the main roles to play with you.

I didn’t plan on wasting my time with clothes that didn’t fit as well as I thought.

‘But even if they ask me to be a judge next time, I’ll have to put it aside.’

Even if we do, we will only check the final review.

There was a lot to do and it was tiring to sift out the chaff.

“Is there an actor you like?”

“Well…. Still, I think it’s fortunate that there are two good actors playing the role of Jo Kang-jin.”

“I’m glad he’s the last main character, so he’s an important character!”

“That’s a good thing.”

‘Cho Kang-jin’ was a character who could be said to be the main character of the work, although his role was somewhat small.

It was natural since this was the target that the main character, ‘Haian’, was trying to kill.

‘I’m a piece of trash who served 3 years in prison.’

Criminal ‘Cho Kang-jin’ was a criminal sentenced to three years in prison for trespassing and murdering his family.

In reality, it was a crime that would have been punishable by life imprisonment up to the death penalty, but in order to demonstrate the protagonist’s extraordinary ability, ‘Kang Jin’ returned to society after spending only three years in prison.

In a way, it was a character that justified the protagonist’s murder in that he assaulted his wife and still did not know how to reflect.

‘But because it was the lead role, quite a lot of people applied.’

One of the three main characters.

Moreover, the other two people are Kang Soo-hyun and Lim I-hoon.

Even if he was a trash villain, there was no role like this to build his career as an actor, and as proof of his popularity, the competition rate was 50 to 1.

Considering that the public offering period was short, the level of interest was reasonable.

‘A few talented actors also caught my eye.’

There were not only stones covering the stones.

There were a few actors who were almost unknown but whose acting was worth watching, and they advanced to the second round with the support of Soo-hyeon and Lee Hoon.

I don’t know who will be ultimately selected, but it was definitely an audition worth watching more than the first round.

“Actor Lee Seo-han is here!”
