This Life, From Child Actor (481)
The first meeting and meal ended on a good note with a friendly atmosphere and a story that everyone was satisfied with.
One of them seemed to be dissatisfied with being left out, but no one seemed to care about that.
“Then I will organize the contents and send a staff member tomorrow. i look forward to.”
“yes. i look forward to.”
Before parting ways, Si-woo shook hands with Su-hyeon and summarized what they had discussed today.
Soo-hyeon also smiled, happily shaking hands with Si-woo, who had made a large investment.
‘It went better than expected. The editor-in-chief is a person with a lot of distribution.’
The cover model is Kang Soo-hyun. The celebrities participating in the in-depth interview that will be included are Suhyun and Hyeondo, who celebrate their birthdays in December.
It was a talent that was more than enough to decorate an ordinary women’s magazine, and Siwoo planned to use this opportunity to raise Star Life’s awareness to the next level.
Because she was someone who could attract enough support from above.
This is where the capabilities of the general editor-in-chief and his immediate subordinates differed.
‘It’s a sad story, but it’s reality.’
When Soo-hyeon was looking at Si-woo and thinking about things they would do together, her eyes turned to Hanna.
“You said you were Team Leader Oh Hanna, right?”
“yes.”
“If you get bullied at Gaon, come to Star Life. “I think we’ll need more advertising staff soon.”
“that.”
“These are not empty words. Today, it looks like a pearl on a pig’s neck. Shouldn’t pearls be used for something more valuable?”
Si-woo whispered to Hanna in a soft voice and pointed to Cheol-sik with his eyes.
He had been left out throughout the meal and was still one step away from the group.
“I know how to look at people. “Can you handle it if you go to work?”
Although the subject and object were omitted, Su-hyeon understood Si-woo’s meaning.
When you return to work, Cheol-sik will persistently harass you, but will you be able to endure it?
If you are having a hard time, I can always accept you.
Although it was an invitation, it had a strange coercive quality.
‘It’s natural to give orders and stand on top. It means that we have lived in an environment where it is okay to live like that.’
Soo-hyeon inferred Si-woo’s way of thinking through her tone of voice and facial expressions and remembered it well.
Soo-hyeon, who refuses most invitations to parties from the political and business community, has not had many opportunities to meet people who are wealthy to their core.
The diverse lifestyles of these people helped broaden my acting horizons.
“I used my strength for that. “I think the editor-in-chief doesn’t have to worry.”
While organizing his thoughts, Su-hyeon smiled brightly and separated himself from Si-woo and Hanna.
Before helping Hanna, Soo-hyun also predicted that she might become the target of Cheol-sik’s anger after he left.
That kind of human trait is that if things go well, it’s my fault, and if things don’t go well, it’s someone else’s fault.
If I were to be humiliated by being pressured by an authority greater than myself, it was clear that it would not be the strong person who was involved but the weak person involved.
‘In that case, all we have to do is highlight the importance of Aunt Hanna to someone who the general manager cannot touch.’
Even though the scale was bigger, I helped Hanna with her work because I was willing to endure it.
If you ignored post-processing and just pursued the pleasure in front of you, you wouldn’t have insulted the other person in this way.
“Aha, I see… I somehow want Hanna even more?”
Si-woo, who understood what Soo-hyeon meant, looked at Hanna with eyes that were sparkling brighter than before.
He must have realized that there was a connection between him and Hannah that went beyond business.
Suhyeon smiled softly because that was the reason why she said something she didn’t need to say.
The more safety devices there were, the better.
“Then I’ll see you both next time. Mr. Cheolsik, thank you for arranging a meeting today.”
“Oh no. I’m even happier that I was of help to Siwoo. If you have time, later…”
“What should I do? I have to rush back to work. Let’s eat together next time. “My mother was also curious about the news about Mr. Cheol-sik.”
“yes! I’ll be waiting. ha ha ha.”
Si-woo, who greeted Hanna and Su-hyeon, charmed Cheol-sik, who must have been dissatisfied, with a simple but appetizing bait.
Her actions of trying to take everything without incurring any loss were truly greedy.
‘A person like that is a businessman. On the other hand, Aunt Hannah’s boss has a very narrow perspective. ‘Are you so greedy for the food shaking in front of you that you can’t see your surroundings?’
For Cheol-sik, Si-woo is a marriage that will allow him to enter the center of the chaebol family if he somehow gets married.
An opportunity to turn his life around was flashing before his eyes, but it seemed too much for him to look around.
‘Well, it would be nice if I could stop worrying about Aunt Hannah.’
Feeling that human relationships are always difficult, Su-hyeon left the room with the manager who was waiting below.
Replacing class with a play was a good decision, no matter how many times I thought about it.
* * *
“Ugh! “That was such a shame!”
“It was expected to some extent. “Don’t think too much.”
Su-hyeon spoke calmly to Jeong-won, who was showing great regret.
Although he was nominated, Soo-hyun failed to win the Best Actor Award at the Changryong Film Awards.
This is because a strong rival who did not exist before King Taejong appeared.
‘Because Director Jeong Seon-hyo hates Taejong-sang.’
Director Jeong Seon-hyo was famous for having a bad relationship with the organizers of the Taejong Awards.
In particular, due to the award ceremony incident that occurred last year, he announced to those around him that he would boycott the Taejong Awards from the beginning of this year, and in fact did not submit any work to the Taejong Awards.
It was a courageous decision considering that Director Jeong’s work ‘1980’ achieved very good results among the films released this year.
‘If I had submitted my work to Taejong, I would have been given the youngest title.’
The Changryong Film Awards Best Actor Award went to actor Yoon Hee-ho, who appeared in ‘1980’.
The acting ability he showed captured the audience’s emotions with all his might and was even more competitive in that it was a total audience.
He was someone that Suhyun had no choice but to admit.
‘But in the end, the Best Picture Award went to ‘Oppa’. When I think about it this way, Jeong-hee is amazing….’
Jeong-hee’s ‘Oppa’ was selected as Best Picture at the Changryong Awards following the Taejong Awards.
It seemed that the organizers could not ignore the trend because it had such a large social repercussion and had a great influence on actual law revisions.
‘There’s some talk about that.’
‘Oppa’ was a film adaptation of an incident that occurred not long ago, and the incident itself was controversial as the perpetrator and victim were intertwined.
It is said that permission was obtained from some parties, but not from both parties. As the work became more famous, voices criticizing Jeong Hee for inciting public opinion with a biased view grew louder.
‘I guess it’s ironic that the aftermath hardly ever comes to me…’
Surprisingly, the criticism directed at Jeong-hee did not extend to Su-hyeon.
Many commented that the actor only acted realistically, and there were also those who defended the role by linking it to ‘Repentance’ and saying that it was only similar in nature to the work he took on this year.
This was a case where the interpretation of a dream was better than the dream itself, which was both fortunate and bitter.
“is it so! Even though he failed to win the award, the actor’s stock is rising every day! Plus, there’s even a pictorial! “If you do this, you will be the star of the year’s end!”
“Is that so?”
“Sure!”
Jeongwon clenched his fists and nodded vigorously.
That reaction was so funny that Suhyun forgot her bitter feelings and laughed lightly.
Her overflowing energy was a great help to Soo-hyeon, who was often sinking.
―Excuse me. Is it okay if I come in?
“yes! Come on in!”
Su-hyeon, who was chatting after finishing her hair, turned her head when she heard the sound of the door opening.
The staff member who had introduced the dressing room an hour ago looked at the three with an awkward smile.
“sorry. “The director asked me when I could come out and told him to come… Are you ready?”
“yes. “I’ll be out soon.”
“thank you.”
The employee, who had come in slightly as if that was all he had to do, lowered his head as soon as he heard the answer and disappeared.
Suhyun looked away from the spot where the employee had disappeared and stared at her reflection in the mirror.
Winter Christmas Lovers’ Day.
Thanks to his outfit tailored to the keywords designated by Star Life, his appearance today gave off the vibe of ‘a church brother who seems to have been someone’s first love.’
‘Is it because of the glasses? Or longer hair?’
Lately, I’ve mostly taken on roles that are rebellious and crazy on the inside, so I’m having a hard time getting used to my soft and kind self.
This is why everyone takes a break of 4 to 5 months to erase the image of their role stuck in their head and take time to find themselves again.
Su-hyeon raised her glasses slightly, thinking that the roles she had taken on this year were particularly powerful.
Since these were fashion glasses without frames, there was no light reflected from the lighting.
“Welcome, Suhyeon. You look even cooler when you wear it like that. “He’s just like a boyfriend I want to spend Christmas with.”
“thank you. “Director.”
“It really looks perfect as our cover! Actor Kang Soo-hyun. “You are so, so cool!”
“thank you.”
Soo-hyun, who left the dressing room, smiled calmly as she listened to the admiration of director Seo Eun-hyung, who was in charge of filming today, and Star Life editor Eun-hye Yoo.
It always felt good to hear this kind of admiration.
“Today’s concept, as I said in the last meeting, is ‘Boyfriends having Christmas dinner together.’”
Before starting filming, Eunhye sat next to Suhyun and once again explained the atmosphere of the cover that would be filmed today.
Lovers celebrating Christmas by spending midnight together on the holy night.
A romantic atmosphere and the presence of an even more romantic boyfriend.
Although it was only a cover, the concept that Star Life wanted was clear.
‘Is this the Cheers of your eyes?’
Suhyun looked at the luxuriously decorated studio.
A table in warm colors decorated with a Christmas-like tree and ribbons, and various foods decorated on it… It
was clearly the scene of a special event prepared for lovers.
‘And that’s the most important thing.’
Suhyun’s gaze, which was closely examining the scene, stopped at a certain place.
A roll cake reminiscent of a snowy log, a whipped cream cake topped with a little Santa, and even Suhyun’s favorite chocolate cake.
The cakes, which were not even models but real, beckoned towards Suhyeon.
“Can I eat that?”
“yes! The food is a replica, but the cakes are all real! Eat as much as you want!”
When Soo-hyeon asked, pointing to the cake, Eun-hye smiled brightly and nodded.
The sight was so dazzling that Suhyeon felt like she was blind for a moment.
‘I’m happy…’
I’ve been lacking carbohydrates recently as I’ve been increasing my protein intake, but I think I’ll make up for that lack today.
While Su-hyeon was looking at the cakes with dreamy eyes, Eun-hye, who was looking at him happily, opened her mouth again.
“Oh, you remember to pick it up with your hand and not with a fork, right?”
