This Life Starts as a Child Actor Chapter 469

From Child Actor to This Life (469)

‘Eom Seok-tae’s home is a single-parent family.

The father, ‘Seoktae’, was always busy supporting his two children, and ‘Dusik’ and ‘Duna’ grew up without seeing their only parent often.

The father’s sense of responsibility to raise his children without starving actually led to a disconnection.

This was the reason why when Seok-tae, who had some financial means, tried to take care of the children, the two children ran away and showed their utmost defiance.

‘And the main focus of this play is resolving the antagonism and finding harmony in the family again.’

Soo-hyeon started acting with facial expressions while thinking about Doo-sik’s personality.

‘Dusik’ resented his father.

At the moment when other children were with their parents, only tens of thousands of won bills and his younger brother were by his side.

The young man who grew up like that now began to disapprove of his father who was approaching him.

‘Of course, later on, he gets scolded by his really angry father and ends up crying like a child…’

‘Dad Can’t Stand It’ was a work that added a bit of comedy to the process of resolving the conflict between members of a single-parent family.

A play that relieves the heaviness and burden felt by the audience by telling a serious story through comedy.

That exquisite balance may have played a role in the popularity of a story that could be common and was re-screened several times.

“This time, we will act opposite each other…”

As Soo-hyeon finished the lines written in the script, recalling the character of ‘Doo-shik’, Tae-jin, who was listening, checked something on a piece of paper and moved on.

He instructed the actors auditioning for ‘Dushik’ to pair up into two-person groups and accept each other’s acting.

While one person played ‘Doo-shik’, the other person left a comment saying that they could play any other character or any character A.

“Please take care of me.”

The person they were paired with was an actor named Yoon Chang.

Yoon Chang confidently spoke to Soo-hyeon, who was having a hard time with the members and even director Tae-jin, and looked at her as if she was cute.

Anyone could see that he was naturally treated as the youngest.

‘You said your acting was quite good earlier…’

Su-hyeon, who had confirmed her opponent’s skills in the previous free performance, stared at her opponent with eyes filled with strange tension.

Even though it may seem like a flutter, I felt a sense of dignity in Yoon Chang’s ‘Dusik’.

It seemed like he was the biggest competitor in this audition.

“Is it okay if I play Doo-shik first?”

“…yes. “Do it first.”

Su-hyeon nodded, looking at the sad but somewhat suspicious smile.

It was confidence that she could counter whatever tricks her opponent tried… In fact, Soo-hyeon faced the reality as soon as the acting began.

“Father wasn’t there then! “In the end, it wasn’t there!”

This is because the line that Yoon Chang uttered was a scene in which ‘Doo-sik’ was more than 80% involved.

Even if it is an individual competition, if you are part of a group, you should avoid scenes where only you can stand out, but Yoon Chang was shameless.

“You want to come now and have a good time? Are you kidding me? you…!”

“Then what are you going to do?”

As soon as it was confirmed that the opponent was not playing fair, Suhyeon also launched a counterattack.

‘Duna’, who normally suppresses her anger in silence, ends up shedding tears of anger.

‘Duna’ also changed its direction to spit out what was inside.

It was a smart move to preserve the importance of the scene without compromising the character’s character.

“Ugh…”

Instead of fighting back, the tears that suddenly flowed were a bonus.

Even though he kept his eyes wide open in order not to lose until the end, he eventually returned to the original line from which the falling tears had deviated, heightening the sense of pity at the same time.

“Oppa… Only you are important, right? Then you can do whatever you want….”

“Two…”

“Do whatever you want. “Go out or not.”

Soo-hyun, who returned to the script, acted perfectly, even the part where ‘Doona’ leaves.

Clearly a complete victory.

However, Su-hyeon did not completely relax.

Because the person I was acting with was still smiling.

‘…Then you have to go to the end.’

Even if you don’t fight first, you will respond to any fight that comes your way.

Soo-hyeon, who now takes on the role of ‘Doo-sik’, has her eyes shining.

It was my turn to give my opponent a punch.

* * *

‘As expected, not just anyone wins the Youngest Actor Award.’

Yun Chang laughed when he saw Su-hyeon with her fighting spirit burning.

It was a shame that such an interesting friend joined as the youngest member and did not appear in ‘My Dad Can’t Live’.

‘Well, just because we don’t work together doesn’t mean we can’t see each other.’

Yoon Chang was an actor with top-level skills even within Kirin.

He possessed both acting and popularity, and was also active on musical stages due to his outstanding singing ability.

‘Actually, it was an audition that I participated in as a surprise to check the skills of the new members.’

He has been absent from the Kirin Theater Company for the past two years.

This is because I had the opportunity to study on Broadway in the United States.

Even while Yoon Chang went to the United States, members continued to come in, and when Yoon Chang returned, there were juniors who did not know him.

‘I don’t know when I’ll have another opportunity to pretend to be a new face like this, so Kang Soo-hyun came in at the perfect time?’

You can’t miss out on such a fun opportunity.

Thinking like that, Yoon Chang paired up with Su-hyeon instead of the new junior he had filmed.

And it created an environment where the opponent could not play an active role.

It was a ceremony that often took place when performing on stage for the first time at Kirin.

‘Hazing doesn’t happen at auditions, but for this guy, it’s better to do it now.’

The giraffe’s new baby ceremony was simple.

When a rookie with no sense of style stands on stage, the seniors all work together and show off an act that is different from the original script from the middle.

The moment the stage situation changes, we watch how the newcomer reacts and adjusts.

Since the initiation ceremony was held only for juniors who showed some level of growth, if the play stalled here and there and the play stopped, the person who was able to somehow get on with the play and make it slightly polished and put a usable play back on track was considered the star of the future.

It was a separate category because the last case was possible only with bold distribution and skills.

‘Actually, Nana Seohan was the third.’

Most of those working in the entertainment industry with the title of Kirin origin belong to the second or third category.

And Su-hyeon’s skills, which we have now confirmed, were not an illusion either.

‘I heard you were famous for your tearful acting as a child actor. I never thought you would cry without warning like that. I took a hit.’

Yoon Chang looked at Suhyeon, unable to hide his joy.

I could sense that he was looking at me with a grin, but it wasn’t a problem.

‘I see some habits that are not suitable for acting, but I think they will be quickly corrected if you just teach me some tricks.’

Even though I am a junior for a limited time, I think it will be worthwhile to teach you various things.

“The reason I’m so big is because of my father!”

“Dusik….”

“Don’t worry.”

“But why is Inomu’s bastard speaking so short?”

“What what?”

Yoon Chang laughed inwardly as he saw Soo-hyeon, who thought his acting would be perceived as comedy.

It was a shame that I only met a friend like this now.

“The role of Eom Doo-sik…. Kang Soo-hyun, Kim Jin, Park….”

When the audition was over, Soo-hyun proudly won the role of ‘Eom Doo-sik.’

* * *

“I didn’t know you could do theater. “I was surprised when I heard the story.”

After completing the audition, Soo-hyun spent some time separately with Seo-han.

It’s been a long time since we met again by coincidence, and it was a shame to just break up.

The same was true for Seohan, who despite his busy schedule made time to have a cup of coffee together.

“…That’s why I replaced school classes with plays.”

“Schools these days are flexible. It’s short, but you’ll learn a lot.”

When Soo-hyeon explained the process, Seo-han nodded, saying it was a reasonable method.

If you think of it as a score for graduation, the school’s action of allowing alternative completion is a preferential treatment.

However, when looking at the study aspect. It was desirable for an educational institution to help students learn in this way.

“You wouldn’t know if I went to a different department, but it was a theater department. “It’s a good opportunity because you won’t have to experience the bottom line of theater in the future.”

The role played by an actor like Soo-hyeon is usually the main character who stands out like a star decoration on a Christmas tree or leads the flow of the play.

The reason theater companies hire celebrity actors or idols and pay them a lot of money to perform on stage is because of ticket power.

What celebrity actors went through in that situation was not much different from the preparation they went through in other settings.

“In fact, there is no way to put a leading movie actor in a work like ‘My Dad Can’t Live’.”

The performance method of the play was largely divided into two types.

There are breaks in between, but open runs can always be seen when you go to the relevant theater company.

A limited run that is released only during a set deadline.

They are sometimes called regular performances and special performances, and are also divided into long and short term.

“〈My Dad Can’t Live〉 has been a work of art for over 10 years, so it has firmly established itself among theater fans. “As long as the quality of the work is maintained, it is not difficult to attract audiences without having to bring in star entertainers.”

Don’t put celebrities first.

This means that it is okay for a newcomer to fill a vacant position as long as they have the skills, and in fact, the Kirin Theater Company mainly has talented and fresh-faced members on stage.

Since it was used as a venue to introduce new actors, even theater fans who had already seen it often bought tickets to “My Dad Can’t Live.”

It was a virtuous cycle that allowed the work to run for a long time.

“But your brother is also appearing, right?”

“If you stick to the same method, you will end up in trouble. Of course, there were too many people this time.”

Seohan laughed, saying that he, troupe actor Ho-seong, and Soo-hyeon had joined the cast, saying that it would be the most spectacular casting except for the early days.

“I thought it would be nice to do it with my older brother.”

“I wish I had done that too, but if well-known actors are concentrated in one part, the audience will only be crowded on certain days of the week.”

Although there were fewer theater fans, the so-called ‘general public’ audience often reserved tickets to see well-known actors such as Soo-hyeon and Seo-han up close.

No matter how secret Soo-hyun’s appearance was, it was obvious that it would become known after the performance, so Tae-jin placed Su-hyeon, Seo-han, and Ho-seong, the leading actor, on different teams.

“Yoon Chang was a bit mischievous today, wasn’t he?”

“Yunchang…?”

“Yeah, the guy you got along with.”

“Ah…”

When the conversation had matured for a while, Seohan mentioned the actor who was paired with Soohyun today.

The letter said that Su-hyeon often behaved erratically and that what she experienced was similar to extreme hazing.

“I’m sure no one will think or question your skills.”

“…That’s a good thing.”

“It’s just… no, I think it would be better for you to experience this yourself while living as the youngest.”

“…?”

Seohan, who was trying to explain something, immediately shook his head and patted Suhyeon on the shoulder.

The moment he was about to open his mouth, he was more curious about what he would say next than the gesture of encouragement.
