This Life Starts as a Child Actor Chapter 613

This life is from a child role (613)

Hearing a name he hadn’t heard in a long time made Su-hyeon trace his memories of the past.

Eulhong was a director he met through the work ‘Shadow Road’ when he was just working as a child actor.

To be precise, it was a relationship that Su-hyeon actively created after thinking about her future before returning.

‘After we actually met, all the illusions I had were shattered.’

At that time, Soo-hyun remembered that Eul-hong would sweep the American film industry with music films in the future, and won the role of the main character in a film that Eul-hong was producing.

However, contrary to the smooth plan, Su-hyeon suffered throughout the filming because her personality was quite dirty and she was not regarded as a child.

The result wasn’t bad, but the process was a difficult schedule.

‘…Now that I think about it, I haven’t heard that Director Eul-hong is active in the United States?’

Suhyeon, who had been reminiscing about the past for a while, remembered a fact she had never realized before and her expression hardened.

Eul-hong, who had abandoned Korea before returning, was successful in the United States and swept prestigious awards.

Although the Korean classical music and film industry blatantly disliked her, it had no influence on Eul-hong, who became an American and was active in the U.S., and Su-hyeon continued to thrive as a Korean-American until her death.

Her trajectory had changed significantly without him knowing.

‘Is this the butterfly effect?’

Suhyun’s face was blurred.

He remembered what happened in a timeline that no one knows about anymore, and how successful director Eul-hong was.

I felt somewhat uncomfortable about her changed future.

―Actor?

“Yes, Suyeol. I’m listening. “Director Kim Eul-hong remembers it.”

Suhyun came to her senses when she heard a voice calling her from across the room.

He did not think that people’s changed future was entirely his fault.

An opportunity is just an opportunity, and it was the people who changed through the opportunity that led the change.

Still, I couldn’t help but feel like it was a blemish on the surface.

“This year’s musical film ‘I Am the Most Beautiful’ was a box office success.”

Eul-hong, who has made a name for himself in the field by directing various music films and musicals, quickly gained recognition among the general public this year by making the original Korean musical ‘The Best Beauty’ into a movie.

The musical ‘I Am the Most Beautiful’, which was produced with consideration for overseas performances, was a clear PC work in which people who were completely different from the universal beauty standards affirmed themselves, such as a fat woman with a strong skeleton but a thin woman with a feminine gay skeleton.

It was a musical whose likes and dislikes could be very divided if you just looked at the outline, but the charming characters with confident and positive attitudes met with actors equipped with crazy skills and techniques to create the best synergy, and even achieved the premiere, re-run, and third performance.

Eulhong directed this musical into a movie, and when it was released in July of this year, it became the first Korean musical film to reach 10 million viewers.

It was a great achievement in a market where domestic musical films had suffered crushing defeats, even if they were foreign works.

“The actress who played Oona was amazing. “When I sing, the force is….”

Soo-hyun forgot to think of Eul-hong and expressed her appreciation for the movie.

Apart from dealing with a potentially sensitive topic, ‘I Am the Most Beautiful’ reduced the audience’s resistance with appropriate plausibility and persuasiveness.

Above all, Eulhong cast a large number of musical actors and recreated the emotions seen on the theater stage.

The movie hit two birds with one stone so perfectly that some say it was better than a play, where viewing satisfaction varies depending on where you sit and the quality can vary depending on the actors’ physical condition that day.

‘No matter how successful the original work is, there is no guarantee that the second creation will be successful, so this is a great thing.’

Eulhong’s genius did not disappear.

It’s just that she chose Korea, a wasteland of music and movies, instead of the American stage, and this was the result.

When Soo-hyeon, who returned to Eulhong, was immersed in complicated feelings, Soo-yeol’s voice woke him up again.

-yes. Director Kim Eul-hong sent me a script this time.

“To me? Oh, of course, since Soo-yeol is talking about it, he probably sent it to me… A musical movie?”

―To be precise, it is a six-part musical drama. The expected length is 300 minutes and will be released on Netfilms.

“No, that’s not it… I’m not particularly a singer or musical actor, so I just don’t understand the fact that they sent me a casting offer.”

There are several reasons why musical films have difficulty succeeding in Korea.

As most of the scripts depict foreign characters rather than Koreans, there was a sense of disparity in film adaptation, and the hurdles were high because the actors being cast had to be good at singing.

Above all, the structure of the actors suddenly singing and dancing was easily felt by the audience as a sense of disconnect.

‘That’s why the OST is even more important.’

Su-hyeon’s self-objectification was quite accurate.

It’s not that I can’t sing, but in order to make a living, I need a lot of publicity and recognition.

If you belong to a group, you won’t be a hole, but you won’t stick out like an awl.

Even if the musical work was recorded, it was true that it was not enough.

‘To be precise, rather than adding it to my filmography, I would say it is good for tarnishing my reputation…’

Even when she was recording ‘Snowflake Girl’ as a child, Soohyun did not sing the song ‘Tilo’.

Because he knew there was a card better than him.

However, he did not want to lip-sync even in works that showed his face.

If you weren’t confident in your skills and didn’t like lip syncing, you had no choice but to give up on the project.

“If I play the main character, general viewers might like it. But even if it attracts attention, what’s important is the content, right? “I think my ability to sing and lead the work is a little lacking.”

―That’s why I’m telling you this… The role suggested by director Kim Eul-hong is not the lead role.

“…Isn’t that Jooyeon?”

-no.

“Yes…”

I swallowed my embarrassment when Soo-yeol said that she was not Soo-hyeon, who proudly thought she would be the main character.

After his popularity rose explosively, the work offers he received were fixed on leading roles.

This is because his price has become too high to ask him to appear in a supporting role.

There were people who requested a cameo, but Soo-hyun was not very happy about a cameo appearance that was just to increase her popularity as the role was not attractive.

‘…It’s just like this director.’

Suhyeon felt awkward but also slightly amused.

It’s because I feel nostalgia for the past in Eulhong’s attitude of confidently saying things that are difficult to say.

She knew how to accept better directing without making any compromises in her work, and she still did so today.

‘It’s true that the director’s perfectionism was difficult, but it wasn’t a bad thing.’

It may have been glorified because it happened in the past.

However, there were definitely things she was able to achieve because she was strict.

“I want to hear what kind of work it is. What is the title?”

Upon hearing the news that she was not the main character, Soo-hyeon relieved herself of the burden and asked about the work.

Although the supporting role was subtle, it wasn’t something that would hurt my pride.

―It is .

“….”

That lightness turned into silence the moment I heard the title of the work.

‘Isn’t this…?’

Before returning, Eulhong swept famous film festivals, starting with the Golden Globes.

The OST that appeared in the movie even won Song of the Year at the Grammy Awards.

The title of the movie is ‘Fallen Angel’.

When it was screened in Korea, the title was ‘Black Wings’.

“Uh… what kind of work is it?”

―This is the story of a ballerino who collapsed after an accident, explodes with inner madness, defeats her rivals, and stands on stage, but ends up losing herself as well. Details have been sent by email.

“okay. “I’ll check my email and get back to you.”

Su-hyeon, who even heard the synopsis, was convinced that it was the movie she had seen before returning.

Since it was the same director and same storyline, it couldn’t have been different works.

‘I don’t know why the movie turned into a six-part drama, but… Director Eul-hong kept this work aside.’

After ending the call, Su-hyeon opened the email sent from Crown and checked the message and script sent by Eul-hong.

Eulhong sent a simple proposal, synopsis, and scripts for up to three episodes.

Part of the soundtrack to be included in the work was also attached to the email.

‘Wow… this was a really hard work…’

It was a song that had only been recorded as a guide, but Su-hyeon, who had seen ‘Black Wings’ before returning, had no difficulty imagining the completion of the song.

It was only a few of the songs that would be included, but they still gave me goosebumps.

‘I’m appearing here.’

Since Korean actors were used, the names and backgrounds of the roles were based on Korea.

However, the major flow and roles did not change, and in fact, as the length became longer, the characters’ narratives became more detailed.

Since the actors were all different, I didn’t know if it would be as successful as before the return, but it was true that I was attracted to it.

‘I don’t think I’ve ever been this excited about a work recently…’

In the case of ‘Butterfly, Jejujeong’, I liked the original work so much that I actively joined the drama, but like ‘Black Wings’, I wasn’t thrilled and half-enchanted by the work.

The card Eulhong presented was that attractive.

‘I can’t help it.’

After checking all the data sent, Suhyun sighed softly.

He soon sent a text message to Soo-yeol.

It was a declaration of defeat that I would accept the casting offer.

* * *

Even after deciding on the work to be filmed, Su-hyeon’s schedule did not change much.

This is because only Soo-hyeon accepted, and the joining of other actors was not completely decided.

Due to the nature of it being a musical drama, the actors had to be able to catch two birds with one stone: singing and acting, so casting was also difficult.

“Actor, did you take the auxiliary battery?”

“yes. Hearing those words, I somehow feel like a child checking his belongings before going on a picnic.”

“I’m sorry if you felt that way.”

“no. “It’s just… it’s just complicated.”

Suhyeon smiled lightly and put on his hat.

The sight of myself reflected in the mirror was very unfamiliar.

‘I took all the cosmetics and put in a few hot packs… I guess I can just buy the rest… Huh.’

Su-hyeon was a little confused as she thought about whether she had forgotten anything.

I couldn’t understand why a period of only 2 nights and 3 days felt so long.

“I will wait in advance, but please contact me when it is over.”

“Sure.”

Su-hyeon laughed lightly while listening to Su-yeol’s blunt concerns.
