This Life Starts as a Child Actor Chapter 473

From the time she was a child in this life (473),

Su-hyeon had a long history of strangely bad relationships with King Taejong-sang.

At the time of ‘Salt Doll’, the Taejong Awards gave Soohyun the Child Actor Award, not even the Rookie Award.

Unlike the Changryong Awards, which had already given away the Rookie of the Year Award and had no choice but to go on an offensive with the Child Actor Award and Achievement Award, the reason why the Taejong Award gave Suhyun the Child Actor Award rather than the Rookie Award was simply because she was ‘young.’

‘It wasn’t that good after that.’

While he won awards for Best New Actor and Best Actor at the Changryong Film Awards, the only award he received at the Taejong Awards was the Best Child Actor Award.

‘Of course, I’m not obsessed with awards. It’s just that King Taejong’s standards are strange.’

Su-hyeon glared at the invitation, paying more attention to Taejong-sang’s attitude than anyone else.

I was curious about what the hidden intention was under this invitation.

“So what category am I nominated for this time?”

Su-hyeon was still staring at the invitation and asked Su-yeol.

I was fully willing to not participate if the Rookie of the Year award came up here.

‘But isn’t the Rookie of the Year award bad? It’s an award that you can receive once in your life… But, look, the actor who won Best Actor is now in the Rookie of the Year category. That’s comedy.’

Although Su-hyeon almost lost to the temptation for a moment, she persevered and overcame it and waited for the manager’s words.

Expectations were high as both works released this year achieved decent results.

“According to officials, he has been nominated for the Best Actor Award.”

“aha. “Can you tell me what kind of work it was uploaded to?”

“That is…”

Suhyun’s question had no meaning.

This was simply a comment made out of curiosity as to whether the judges would have shown greater interest in ‘Oppa’ as Seohan predicted.

However, Soo-yeol showed a lack of confidence in those words.

“The words of the officials who provided the information are slightly different.”

“is it so…?”

“yes. “I heard that both ‘Oppa’ and ‘Repentance’ received good reviews.”

Because the judges’ information is not accurately disclosed until the awards ceremony, the agencies carefully synthesized information from those involved and came up with results that were as similar as possible.

Such effort was hidden in the actors’ guessing about who would receive the award and deciding whether to attend.

‘I don’t know which of the two works made me a candidate for Best Actor. ‘Maybe it’s both.’

Suhyeon fell into a pleasant imagination for a moment.

Both films were excellent, so the person who was the lead in both films was called out twice.

Although it was rare, it was not an impossible situation, so it was a possibility.

‘Well, it’s a possibility. If we go in like that, the winner is usually an actor who has been nominated for multiple awards, so it will be a fight between me and me.’

Then it would be fun.

After leaving just that impression, he put the invitation down on the table.

It wouldn’t have mattered if they weren’t only nominated for the Rookie of the Year award.

‘I remember it will be held in February starting next year, but I wonder if it will be held this time as well.’

Su-hyeon recalled the Taejong Prize awarding schedule that had changed before his return.

The Taejong Awards, which were constantly compared to the Changryong Film Awards, abandoned the year-end event and changed the awards schedule to February.

The calculation was that they would be able to receive a lot of attention since they were somewhat separated from other competitors and it was a relatively free time for actors.

However, due to an incident that year, a large number of actors were unable to attend.

‘At that time, I wasn’t particularly interested in acting and even less interested in awards ceremonies, so I only heard that there was such an issue… but I don’t know what it’ll be like this time.’

Your time is too precious to waste time remembering the awards ceremony incident.

Su-hyeon gave up thinking about King Taejong and checked his smartphone.

An alarm flashed at the top that a new assignment had just been uploaded.

“The end of the year is usually busy because of award ceremonies, but why am I so busy?…”

“I think it’s because I don’t want to give up on anything.”

“Ugh… I really have a lot of assignments.”

October came and Suhyun’s semester began.

As previously discussed with Professor Jeon, Su-hyeon only applied for theory-related online classes, but since these also did not consider students’ other subjects, the number of assignments did not decrease.

“Actually, I’m doing just enough to not fail, right? But there is no end to it…”

“I know that other students usually ask for understanding in advance.”

Su-hyeon realized that the ‘other students’ that Soo-yeol meant ‘other celebrity students’.

I didn’t know that many of them only put their name on the school record and went to school half-heartedly before graduating.

“Because that’s their story. “I came to college because I was broke, but it would be a waste to throw away the opportunity to study and just get a diploma.”

I will continue to work as an actor and learn many things for acting and roles, but college was the last opportunity to focus on theory and academics in this way.

Su-hyeon was not unaware of this fact, and that is why he continued to go to class without dropping out even after serving in the military.

‘…I also regret not being able to go to college.’

The memory of the time before I returned when I couldn’t go to college because I couldn’t afford it was also the reason why I went through hardships that others couldn’t understand.

It’s true that people who cling to him for profit are annoying, but he doesn’t want to give up his goal because of those people.

‘Honestly, I’m so sad that I’m going around like an ordinary student. I almost never have to go to school anymore.’

I want to praise myself for my efforts so far.

Su-hyeon, who was feeling deep self-love, looked at the smartphone screen again and her expression fell.

I liked studying, but I hated homework.

“I wish they would hand out reports in moderation….”

“If group assignments are the flower of college, then reports are the stem. As you get the hang of it, it becomes more and more fun.”

“…You’re kidding, right?”

“I’m serious.”

Su-hyeon stared with clouded eyes at the manager who said the report would be interesting.

I thought she couldn’t just read facial expressions, but Su-yeol’s way of thinking was much more frightening than Su-hyeon had guessed.

‘Let’s practice the script.’

Su-hyeon looked away from his assignment and picked up the tattered script.

I wanted to read the script one more time before tackling the difficult task.

* * *

An invitation came from King Taejong, and soon after, an invitation came from Changryong.

Su-hyeon announced her intention to attend both parties and focused on preparing for the play.

In the meantime, his physique had grown slightly and his shirt had grown one size, something he was secretly proud of.

‘Except for being busy with practice, everything is going smoothly.’

The play was performed for two weeks from the end of October, and Soo-hyun appeared on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

In the schedule, the name ‘Kang Soo-hyun’ will be written as ‘Suhyeon’, and other parts will be the same as the members.

“Huh! Ah… Abba….”

“Dusik, dad was sorry.”

Soo-hyeon, wearing heavy theatrical makeup, cried with her face distorted.

His muscles were sore from expressing the emotions of crying with his entire face, but he showed his sadness to the fullest.

‘The make-up on the theater side is really thick.’

When watching actors on stage from afar, it is difficult to see their faces properly.

Therefore, the actors emphasized their facial features and character impressions with makeup as thick as underwater makeup.

Recently, as the number of theaters using screens has increased, some have used natural makeup, but they stuck to the old method, except for the use of a microphone that said ‘Dad can’t stand it.’

“Simyoung, you tend to breathe loudly. Are you going to let the audience hear all your gasps? “Breathe in and breathe out?”

“sorry.”

“It’s good that Soohyun’s emotions are clear, but don’t really cry on stage. Even the sound of sniffling can be heard through the speakers.”

“yes.”

Since the microphone did not deliver only the lines selectively, the actors had to control their breathing so as not to become heavy while performing emotional scenes.

In Su-hyeon’s case, she was doing it without any mistakes, but she was cautioned because she often made a face that ‘looked like she was really going to cry’.

‘I didn’t know that taking a step back would be beneficial.’

Although the sound team helped keep the actors’ voices from bouncing off the speakers in real time, the efforts of the actors speaking on stage were important in reducing noise.

In order to stabilize breathing, it was better not to get excited or overly immersed during the play, and in that respect, Soo-hyeon, who analyzed and calculated the character of the work and acted, had a slight advantage.

‘Because the facial expressions and actions are so big, there is no need to describe them in detail, so it’s boring…’

Crying in front of the camera was Suhyun’s specialty.

He was an actor who knew how much the hearts of the audience were soaked by the fluttering eyelashes, the gradually turning red, and the teardrops that eventually pooled and fell.

For him, the theater stage was a place where it was difficult to perfectly utilize his special skills.

‘As expected, I feel comfortable in front of the camera. If you calculate how your face will appear to the audience, that’s exactly what it will look like. ‘It’s depressing that depending on your seat, you can only see the actor’s profile.’

While learning and understanding the charm of theater, Su-hyeon missed the broadcast film industry.

No, on the contrary, the more I learned about it, the more my longing grew.

“…do. Soohyun, let’s just continue like this for the remaining rehearsals. “Thank you all for your hard work.”

When the play was finished, Taejin left a final comment and dismissed the actors.

Words of “thank you” filled the practice room.

Stage inspection, costume inspection, equipment inspection.

Although it was a small production with four actors participating, Soo-hyun did her best to avoid making mistakes with the actors on the same team.

“…Soohyun can’t wear makeup. “Come here, let’s redraw your eyebrows.”

Soo-hyeon went to get a checkup after putting on her makeup alone and received help after hearing something from Tae-jin.

A cool feeling passed over my eyebrows, and then the pencil passed over them.

“It looks almost the same, but why is the impression different?”

“I drew it in one go. It would be awkward if this were just uniform. “Didn’t the staff draw it for you often?”

“Because I usually keep my eyes closed.”

“Well, if you don’t pay attention, you won’t remember even if you get a hundred days.”

After putting on her makeup and attaching a microphone, Suhyun began checking the equipment once again.

I checked carefully to ensure that the microphone did not turn off or create noise during the performance.

“shake.”

“are you okay. “You worked hard.”

“But it’s the first stage… are you okay?”

“It’s the same in movies and dramas, where you act in front of dozens of staff members.”

“It’s wonderful…”

Su-hyeon comforted the shaking Sim-young and gazed at the bright light beyond the curtain.

As the mumbling voices grew more and more loud, the actors standing behind swallowed dry saliva.

‘It is expected.’

Su-hyeon glanced at Hae-jin, who was having fun as if trying to relax, and gently placed her hand on her heart.

The pounding feeling felt good.

“Now, when the lights go out, please take your seats on the stage. As I said before, there is glow-in-the-dark tape, so it won’t be difficult to find a seat.”

“yes.”

“Okay…”

“Don’t be nervous. Fighting, everyone.”

As the lights beyond the curtain dimmed, the actors, led by Sim Young, advanced one by one.

When the actors except for the role of ‘Dongchil’ stood on stage.

A bright light illuminated them.

“Dusik, Duna! “Daddy’s here!”
