This Life: From a Child Actor (470)
The director I met after the audition looked at Su-hyeon more favorably than when they first met.
It seemed like I had been relayed what had happened at the scene.
‘I heard you talking, and you seemed to be quite close to Seohan. By the way, that was a hazing ceremony….’
Suhyun, who was thinking about the last meeting before leaving, also thought about Kirin’s hazing ceremony.
The strange liking for Yoon Chang that I felt when we became a group was not an illusion.
He said he was just being playful and didn’t do it with malicious intent, but in truth, his way of thinking was strange.
‘I guess there are only strange people in Giraffe. I guess I chose a good place…?’
After recalling the two people who made a strong impression, Su-hyeon decided to be prejudiced against the members.
If you thought from the beginning that they were people with unique personalities, even if you encountered an unexpected situation, you could just move on and think, ‘That’s just how they are.’
‘That’s not what’s important right now…’
After reminiscing about the events at Kirin for a while, he stared at the camera fixed to the tripod.
It was a camcorder that I had purchased to observe Yoohyeon’s class but had put it in a corner because I had no use for it.
‘I haven’t used YouTube for a while.’
Even after reaching 1 million subscribers, Soohyun’s subscription count continued to rise steadily.
A celebrity who is young, handsome, and internationally recognized for his abilities.
There were quite a few people who were curious about Suhyeon’s daily life.
‘That’s why daily disclosures have become more subtle.’
Although the vlog was uploaded after carefully editing it so as not to reveal where she lived or her family, the number of people guessing Su-hyeon’s location and surroundings even after seeing her surroundings organized in that way increased day by day.
The idea is to fill in the missing information through things that are inevitably visible in the content.
It was no coincidence that recent content was filled with appreciation for the work and videos filmed at Crown.
‘But you can’t just shrink back.’
The more popular she becomes, the more people will be interested in Suhyun’s every move.
Avoiding this wouldn’t solve anything, so I had to step forward more confidently.
‘It will be easier if you become independent at home.’
Suhyeon adjusted the camera and microphone settings while thinking about how to proceed with YouTube in the future.
A clear video displayed on the monitor and a voice recorded without noise signaled preparation.
“As expected, I’m nervous about live performances…”
Suhyun muttered to herself and entered the YouTube channel.
I was uploading a video that had already been edited, but when I tried to broadcast it live, I felt like my throat was locked.
└What is it? lol? Is this really live?
└????
└Hello (translated from English)
As soon as he started broadcasting, numerous people logged onto the live channel.
The comment window was as noisy as the number of users, but Soohyun was able to quickly catch the comments that were rising in an instant.
Thanks to the ability to see the camera screen, my trained moving vision shined.
“hello.”
As soon as he said a simple greeting, an uproar spread in the comment window.
Expressions made up of only vowels or consonants or unknown foreign words passed by in an instant.
“Looking at the log, I saw that I hadn’t uploaded anything to YouTube for a long time. So I decided to do a live show today.”
└Oppa, please sing a song.
└Please give me just one heart ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└You have the best face ㅃㅓㅓ
Every time Suhyun spits out a word, dozens of comments are written in the chat window.
I don’t know how they knew, but even though it was broad daylight, more than 3,000 people logged in in an instant, filling up the number of people.
‘I think it would be okay to get straight to the point.’
Suhyun, who checked the rising number, smiled and waved at the camera.
This is something I sometimes feel while watching the reactions on the fan cafe, but it was a bit cute to see people cheering in writing.
“It was also covered in the news, but ‘Oppa’, which just finished screening, has a cumulative audience of over 6 million. Thank you for your interest.”
└Oppa, you were really pretty.
└House development cute ㅓㅓ
└I couldn’t see it because it was requested, but you can’t dress as a woman in the whole thing ㅜ??
Su-hyeon, who made an air quotes gesture when mentioning the title ‘Cute Fox’, hid her joy at seeing people reacting immediately.
There were also requests for cross-dressing again, but I pretended not to notice.
“And it is said that ‘Repentance’, which is being screened this time, has also exceeded 6 million views. “I thought it would be difficult because both works are not suitable for young people, but thank you for your interest and love.”
Su-hyeon did not forget to mention ‘repentance’ in the fourth week.
Unlike ‘Oppa’, ‘Repentance’, which follows an ordinary box office graph, although its upward trend slowed, it still continued its box office success with good momentum.
It would have been a positive thing if the curve, which had been sinking a bit through today’s video, went up.
‘This is a film that was produced with a lot of commercial consideration in mind and with Crown as the main actor. The better it goes, the bigger the benefit.’
Because it was completed under Chae-min’s leadership, the contract to appear in ‘Repentance’ was much better than other contracts.
We also paid a lot of attention to the provisions related to the running guarantee, so even though we were not specifically asked to promote it, we were secretly concerned about it.
└Oppa, you don’t do variety shows ㅠㅠ
└This year, all of the works were commissioned, so I lack the quality of you.
“I have no movie plans this year. But isn’t it time to go to school now?”
Even though she was moving up quickly, Suhyeon continued the conversation by asking the necessary questions without even dragging.
I had a prickly conscience to say that I had no work activities, so saying ‘film plans’ was a light deception.
[My brother, mine donated 500 won. I’m doing it secretly.]
“Ah…”
Su-hyeon checked the contents printed out along with the sponsorship message and was at a loss for words and smiled awkwardly.
Because he wasn’t a particularly diligent student, he wasn’t a particularly diligent student to talk about the basics of focusing on class.
In the end, the method he chose was to slightly change the conversation to a different question.
‘hmm. I told you everything I had prepared. Should I just quit? Honestly, I have nothing to say.’
Su-hyeon, who finished the prepared message in 10 minutes, looked with distraught eyes at the number of people still rising.
When I saw the number go up to 5,000, I felt like something had to be done, but he wasn’t good at creating content.
‘I don’t go about my daily life for nothing…’
Even as my experience in the entertainment industry increases, progress seems difficult.
As expected, the live performance was difficult and he was about to end it when a sponsorship notification rang in his ears.
[Chocolate Abs, who loves chocolate, donated 3,000 won. I think the actor’s body has gotten better ㅠㅠ What do you do to exercise your muscles?????]
It was a question that touched Su-hyeon’s heart too much to just pass over.
“I’m working on getting in shape these days. I have a constitution where my muscles are not as big as other people, so I take care of them very carefully. Especially in the upper body, the ratio of muscles is important…”
Suhyun, who believes that masculinity comes from muscles, revealed the routine and exercise he has been doing recently in a radiant appearance.
Those in the chat window shouted, ‘You’re doing well, you’re doing well!’ and left the excited Soo-hyun running wild.
“Oh, it’s already been so long. “Today’s broadcast will end here.”
└ㄴㄴㄴㄴㄴㄴ
└No way ㅠㅠㅠ
└ㄴㄴㄴ
It was only when Soo-hyeon, who had been praising fitness so frantically, looked at the clock that she realized that she had accumulated a dark history today as well.
I was happy that people recognized my improved muscles, so I said things I shouldn’t have said.
Suhyun smiled, trying to hide her burning shame.
And then the broadcast ended in a hurry.
‘I shouldn’t have done it live…’
After checking the screen was turned off, he jumped into bed and buried his face in the pillow.
Blooming shame wrenched his entire body.
‘This is why I didn’t do it. My image.’
This is the only way anyone can see that he is serious about fitness.
Su-hyeon stamped her foot, saying that her cool, kind, charming, and thorough image had collapsed.
His image of himself was far from the truth, but such was the realm of faith.
* * *
“It’s okay over there… ah?”
“yes. “I’m not doing it alone.”
“But still… um.”
“Please treat me comfortably, senior.”
Su-hyeon smiled brightly at Sim-young, who spoke to her cautiously.
Suhyun, who was assigned the role, became the youngest member of Kirin and experienced the life of a rookie.
At first, the members who were avoiding him, saying, ‘How can you do that to Kang Soo-hyun?’, when they saw that Su-hyeon had laid down his authority first, one by one, they treated him as the youngest member who had just joined.
Cleaning the stage, which started early in the morning, was one of those routines.
“It is true that it is easier to call a company, but in fact, it is entrusted to the new members so that they can become attached to the theater company and become more familiar with the stage. So….”
“Yes, I heard the explanation from senior Yoon Chang.”
Su-hyeon smiled obediently when he saw Sim-yeong making excuses, saying that she never ordered it to treat you carelessly.
If the theater company entrusts cleaning to new employees, it will not be without cost savings.
However, the most important reason was to become familiar with the field.
‘Because it’s hard to know where something is when you’re just acting. ‘Check where the props are and what the floor condition is like.’
It is the job of production staff to handle and take care of equipment on film sets.
We did not want people who did not know much to mess with expensive equipment and cause it to break down, so we used our own people to do the work.
Unlike such movies, plays also required some information from the actors.
‘When practicing alone, you can’t ask for the location of each prop, and the play is live.’
Play acting on stage often cannot proceed according to the script due to external factors.
In such a situation, the better the actor knew about the stage, the more he could think of ways to overcome the problem.
‘Of course, there aren’t many newbies who clean while taking that situation into consideration.’
In any case, it is important to become familiar with the scene where you will be acting.
Suhyun stepped on the slightly gaping wooden floor and looked at the polished stage.
The oiling of the stage is also adjusted depending on what work is being shown.
Although it may be a small stage in the eyes of the audience, the effort put into it was no different from a large theater that can accommodate more than 1,000 people.
“Senior Yoon Chang over there is annoying. “It’s not…are you okay?”
Sim Young, who was on a team with Su-hyeon, asked carefully, remembering the uninvited guests who often came to visit.
Even though he did not appear on ‘Dad Can’t Stand It’, Yoon Chang often came to see them practicing.
His target as an advisor was usually Su-hyeon, and Sim Young was very worried that Su-hyeon might be uncomfortable.
“are you okay. Do not worry.”
While comforting the anxious protagonist, Su-hyeon thought of Yoon-chang, whom she had seen yesterday.
Perhaps the audition was very impressive, as Yoon Chang showed special intimacy with Suhyeon and treated her as a junior without hesitation.
He said that he had a good voice, so he asked if he would like to try a musical together in the future, whether joking or serious. He also spared no effort in giving advice, such as saying that the stage seen from the audience may be very different from what one expects.
He wasn’t a bad person as a senior, except that he was light-hearted and suspicious, and often acted in a way that you couldn’t tell if it was a joke or a test.
‘huh. ‘I’m not close with you, just a senior person.’
If you mix half and half Hyeon-do and Chae-min, you might end up with a similar personality.
Thinking it was terrible, Su-hyeon thought of the assignment he left behind yesterday.
To be precise, it was more like a rock thrown into a lake than a task, but it was still disturbing.
‘It’s the difference between theater acting and movie acting….’
