Chapter 85
First of all the reason Seoyeon learned dancing was not because of a virtuber.
Seoyeon who took a break from acting immediately after receiving the award became sullen for a while.
For one reason or another Seoyeon suddenly had to stop doing something that had been a big part of her heart.
She said “I think Seoyeon is very sullen.”
Of course she was worried about Su-ah.
Youngbin also thought about it seriously before answering.
“What is that? “Wouldn’t it be okay to at least compliment something else to make it fun?”
“Is that okay?”
Su-ah criticized Yeong-bin’s words.
She didn’t have anything to do with it so she praised Seo-yeon for doing her gymnastics every morning.
“If you look at the way Seoyeon moves her body it looks like she has a sense of rhythm!”
“is it so?”
“I think she would do well if she learned to dance or something!”
Seoyeon’s ears perked up.
In fact Seoyeon’s sense of rhythm was quite good.
Because she was good at most things that used her body she learned to dance quickly.
She said “Oh you’re good. “You’re good at it.”
Anyway without even thinking about it Su-ah continued to clap her hands at Seo-yeon.
Also Seoyeon who was excited by herself worked hard to learn how to dance.
“Well Seoyeon. He’s really good… he’s good but isn’t this a bit too much??”
“You praised me too much.”
Of course she ultimately reached that conclusion.
anyway.
She Seoyeon was quite confident in her dancing.
First of all unlike singing dancing contains fewer emotional elements.
Pure physical ability.
And her skills are everything.
Of course it was important to follow the rhythm but as I said Seoyeon is not particularly good at it.
The reason he can’t sing is because he can’t properly express his emotions.
It’s not bad but it’s close to making you feel uncomfortable like imitating Seo-yeon’s emotions.
‘first of all.’
Seoyeon closed her eyes as the musical accompaniment began.
Audition music prepared in advance.
So to speak it is a song by a singer prepared in advance.
And this singer later sang the insert song of <Dream Future>.
‘You can’t just do any dance.’
It’s a dance but it’s an extension of acting.
You have to properly show that to the judges.
In the story Jo Ha-rin played a lively and lively role.
Because of that he comes across as a person with a certain level of expertise in dancing.
So of course Seoyeon also had some thoughts about dancing.
‘First a light hip-hop dance.’
Generally speaking it is the most popular and frequently seen dance.
This is roughly the category that the public finds ‘cool.’
You can do b-boying but it’s too much.
It didn’t fit the character concept in the first place.
‘still.’
One movement would be fine.
Open your eyes.
Seoyeon’s red eyes flew towards the judges and struck them.
Exhale.
Seoyeon’s lips smiled brightly.
Seoyeon’s feet moved along with the thumping rhythm.
Her feet are naturally spread shoulder-width apart and one foot forward.
“oh….”
Casting director Shin Yoon was the first to express exclamation.
Is it because the song was so subtle?
The dance became even more impressive.
‘The dance is refreshing because the limbs are long.’
Of course he is not an expert on dance.
In any case it was just an evaluation from the eyes of the audience.
However even to the average audience member Seoyeon’s dance was very refreshing.
at the same time.
‘expression.’
I realized late that Seo-yeon was doing her current act at the same time.
‘This is the scene where Jo Harin dances on the street.’
Other judges also noticed this.
It wasn’t because of the dancing or Seoyeon’s bright expression.
‘Gaze.’
Park Jeong-woo carefully observed the movements of Seo-yeon’s gaze.
Seoyeon’s gaze which she thought was aimed at the judges turned her body once and attempted to make eye contact 360 degrees.
gallery.
It is assumed that the audience surrounds him in a circle.
When Jo Harin dances on the street.
Her audience watching her as she performs her street dance.
It is a movement that assumes that.
The stride length was limited.
The movement of the limbs also stopped at some point as if showing the space given to them.
It was as if I could see space.
As if the place where Seoyeon dances is not an audition room but a street where her audience looks at her.
The song is heading towards a climax.
Seoyeon’s body bowed downward.
“uh?!”
Someone let out a surprised exclamation.
That’s because hip-hop dancing naturally led to breaking.
With the last passionate beat.
Seoyeon’s body spun around.
That too quickly. Very quickly.
Windmill.
Breaking so to speak.
It is the most basic movement among the dances commonly called b-boying.
It could also be said to be the breaking dance most familiar to the public.
However no matter how basic it is it is difficult for the average person to do and if you do not learn it properly it is just clumsy.
Because of its long limbs it was easy to inadvertently open its mouth and look at it.
Forget that it’s acting.
And as soon as the song stops.
Seoyeon’s hands touched the ground and her body stood tall in the air.
“and!”
Inadvertently one of the judges let out an exclamation.
Freeze.
A posture that supports her body using the strength of her arms and upper body.
A movement that usually shows the finishing movement in breaking.
The reason Seoyeon did the windmill was to show it as naturally as possible at the end.
The music ends at the same time as the body which was spinning at high speed stops in midair.
The judges opened their mouths in a daze and no one dared to speak first.
No I couldn’t.
‘No you dance really well?’
Or rather how is it supporting its body right now?
Can you support it like that with just your arm strength?
‘Wow that happens.’
For those who are seeing b-boying for the first time it is a strange movement in one way or another.
Seeing those surprised people Seoyeon looked over with triumph.
Jeongwoo chuckled at Seoyeon’s attitude which was completely different from when she sang.
‘…That’s overkill.’
Of course Park Jeong-woo thought that and sighed in relief.
Looking at Seo-yeon who stood up and bowed in greeting Jeong-woo nodded.
In any case it should be said that this has definitely made up for the shortcomings caused by the song.
‘As expected I think I’m generally good at using my body.’
Usually flashy dance moves are only an added point and do not have a significant impact on the results of the judging.
The same goes for not being able to sing.
However if you do too well or not well it will definitely have an impact.
Seoyeon’s song was like that and so was her dance.
Even more so if you think about the character traits of Song So-ha and Jo Harin.
“The dance movements and acting are natural. “It definitely suits the character Jo Harin.”
Audition meeting for <Dream Future>.
“The song is a bit lacking but we have time and can improve it to some extent.”
“But dancing doesn’t happen in a short period of time.”
Soha Song.
To be honest the production team wanted to choose Seo-yeon for that role.
However the actress herself did not want to play the role of Song So-ha.
Above all else Jo Harin’s talent was dancing.
It wasn’t a character who couldn’t sing but the character was set to be skilled in dancing as if to show off his lively character.
“But Jo Harin’s proportion is….”
Casting director Shinyun muttered that and turned his gaze somewhere.
This is Lim Jin-ha the writer who wrote the screenplay for <Dream Future>.
He is a writer with experience that can still be called a ‘rookie’.
Normally if you say ‘Change’ the person who has to change is the writer of this drama.
“Is it possible to control the weight of Jo Harin’s role?”
“I think it would be good if the frequency of appearances increased a little more after episode 8.”
From the words of casting director Shin Yoon and cinematographer Kim Pil-seok.
“Then there are too many places to fix in the script. “The content will definitely be ruined.”
Im Jin-ha shook his head and refused.
Director Kim Pil-seok clicked his tongue at the expected reaction.
‘Tsk. ‘Of course.’
For one reason or another writer Lim Jin-ha is something I don’t like in many ways from his perspective as a director.
Even though he was a rookie his career had two hits.
Actually one of them was an assistant writer and he did it right.
Anyway no matter how new a writer is the difference between having one hit or not is the difference between heaven and earth.
In addition as far as I know Im Jin-ha also had a background at the broadcasting station.
I understand that it is probably related to a certain PD in the drama department…
Anyway if you are stubborn because of that even director Kim Pil-seok will not be able to push through easily.
“Writer Jinha Lim.”
Park Jeong-woo smiled at her and said.
Im Jin-ha’s frozen face relaxed at that smile.
“yes?”
“Then if something unexpected happens is it possible to make corrections?”
“Unexpected situation?”
“Ah for example a certain role… becomes very popular unexpectedly.”
It was obvious who Park Jeong-woo meant by ‘which role’.
Jo Harin.
When director Kim Pil-seok or casting director Shin Yoon said it it was something that made people’s faces harden.
“Oh of course.”
Seeing them laughing and talking while laughing Kim Pil-seok rubbed his face with his palm for no reason.
In any case the face is something that cannot be helped.
‘…anyway.’
Park Jeong-woo’s words were very meaningful.
The saying ‘If I gain unexpectedly great popularity.’
‘Does this mean that Jo Harin will get a bigger response than expected? or not….’
Kim Pil-seok had one thing that came to mind.
The release of <The Chaser> overlaps with <Dream Future>.
If Park Jeong-woo said those words with that in mind.
‘I can’t even say it’s an overly exaggerated evaluation.’
Seoyeon’s performance I saw at the audition.
And unexpected dancing skills.
According to Park Jeong-woo he feels like he is generally good at using his body.
He is a talented kid in one way or another.
“Then let’s decide.”
Director Kim Pil-seok said while looking at the photo of the two people.
Soha Song.
And the faces of the two actors chosen to play Jo Harin.
***
It was two days later that Seoyeon was notified of the results of <Dream Future>.
Manager Park Eun-ha patted Seo-yeon on the shoulder with a sad look on her face.
“What should I do Seoyeon?”
Seeing her gloomy face Seoyeon felt the tips of her hair stand on end.
‘Did you fall?’
Even if she can’t sing that’s true.
But isn’t it too much to drop it?
The moment when Seoyeon becomes sullen.
“She contacted me saying she was casting me for the role of Jo Harin.”
“Oh really?”
“huh?”
I thought she would be naturally disappointed but Seoyeon’s face suddenly brightened.
Her expression doesn’t change but her eyes sparkle.
If she continues to be by her side in one way or another she will secretly become aware of Seo-yeon’s way of expressing her emotions.
She’s just not good at expressing herself.
Her emotions themselves have tended to be very rich recently.
‘Surprise.’
I thought you fell.
She originally auditioned for Jo Ha-rin but Park Eun-ha seemed to think that Seo-yeon auditioned for the role of Song So-ha.
Because she was the main heroine of the story.
“Oh and.”
The moment Manager Park Eun-ha was about to say something again.
Woooo!!
A vibrating sound was heard from her pocket.
When she casually took it out and checked it she made an expression that was difficult to explain.
“why?”
“huh? ah. “If Seoyeon receives this she will know.”
“yes?”
What does this mean again?
I had that question but first Eunha Park accepted the phone she held out.
If it had been a suspicious call I wouldn’t have given it to you in the first place.
“hello.”
The moment I casually answered like that.
“Joo Seo-yeon?!”
As soon as I heard that voice I heard a surprised voice from the other side.
She is the female voice.
Seoyeon heard that unfamiliar voice.
“who are you?”
「….」
There was a strange look of disappointment on the other side but I guess it was just her mood.
Anyway after the other person took a moment to catch her breath she said this.
“I am Jo Seo-hee.”
It’s a trembling voice.
Oh Jo Seo-hee.
If you think about it it was a voice like this.
In the first place Seo-yeon did not think deeply about her friend Jo Seo-hee.
She’s just doing that.
“hello.”
“Oh yeah. “I’m not really saying goodbye but…”
At Seo-hee’s words Seo-yeon took her ear off her phone for a moment and frowned.
Because I heard a rare very intimidated voice I wondered if it was really Jo Seo-hee.
“So why are you suddenly calling me?”
“that is.”
Jo Seo-hee’s voice hesitated for a moment.
He seemed to be wondering if he could really say this.
But soon.
“Oh you must be mistaken.”
“yes?”
“The movie I wanted to film with you… I didn’t know it was like that.”
At the words of Jo Seo-hee who suddenly confessed.
Only then did Seoyeon understand the reason.
‘Oh that’s why.’
She said that she finally found out what director Baek Min’s movie was that Jo Seo-hee mentioned earlier.
A word from the author (author review)
Well it’s a little late…
