Chapter 9
“My daughter’s hanbok suits her so well!”
Sua was busy taking pictures of Seoyeon all the time.
As the saying goes Seoyeon wearing the prepared hanbok was very cute.
Her hair which was always long was neatly arranged to match her hanbok and it suited her very well.
“Do you use acting as your face?”
“She came in by parachute and left quietly.”
Of course the only one who welcomed Seo-yeon was Su-a.
Most of her were busy biting their tongues at Seo-yeon.
appearance?
Of course it’s pretty.
Even among child actors who all looked the same his appearance definitely shined.
So instead her eyebrows furrowed.
I feel like I got into this position just because of my looks.
‘Good luck. ‘I’ve come to this point with just one CF.’
Soy milk ad?
Of course I saw it.
It was definitely a well-filmed advertisement but dramas are completely different.
“I heard you’re six years old now.”
“I don’t know if I can memorize the script properly.”
“But thanks to that there is one less competitor for one position isn’t it?”
Some managers and academy figures were familiar with such words.
If I speak carelessly to a child actor who has joined the agency it could make the agency look bad so I tend to refrain from doing so.
However looking at Seoyeon she was lucky enough to come in without an agency.
It was very good food for them.
On the other hand unlike Seoyeon she also had a child role that received attention in a good way.
“She’s the one who appeared in the drama right?”
“Ah the kid who shouted ‘I hate that girl~? Wow you’ve grown a lot.”
When she heard those words softly the lips of her partner child actor Seo-hee Jo wheezed.
She said ‘Why are you auditioning when you’re tired?’
Jo Seo-hee was confident.
Although she was equally outstanding as other child actors she could not even be compared to Jo Seo-hee.
Not only did she already have experience in a historical drama but she also had experience appearing in a daily drama.
As the saying goes daily dramas are aired every day so acting is bound to become part of daily life.
Is that all she is? Since every day is filming you also need physical strength.
However since it airs in prime time it has the advantage of quickly increasing awareness.
Just looking at ‘The Sister-in-law’s Temptation’ which gained cult popularity a few years ago its impact was enormous.
Experience in historical dramas and overwhelming acting experience.
Of course Jo Seo-hee and her manager were not confident.
I am confident that I will fail the audition.
“Oh it’s here!!”
However there was only one person who even Jo Seo-hee would give up.
A boy walking slowly with his manager.
Some girls who saw him said wow! He let out a small exclamation.
“Wow he may only be ten years old but he looks really good.”
“I’m already pregnant. “I guess the genes are different.”
Planning producer Teo Ha who was watching it from afar also smiled happily.
“I’m already looking forward to Park Jeong-woo’s acting. Every time I watch it my skills improve so the actors have to be a little more nervous. What should I do if a child actor loses his acting skills?”
I didn’t mean to say this for no reason.
The son of actor Park Seon-woong who starred in 10 million movies as many as three times.
Even Park Jeong-woo himself had the experience of appearing in a 10 million movie.
Park Jeong-woo who played the role of a child kidnapped by terrorists was a child actor who surprised Korea by showing off his amazing acting skills.
Although he had no experience in historical dramas his genius acting skills were enough to attract everyone’s attention.
‘Wow the one that grew from this is different from the cotyledons.’
Seo-yeon was also surprised to see Park Jeong-woo.
That’s a true alpha male.
Not only did Park Jeong-woo gain great popularity in this year’s birth but he also hit the jackpot in the dramas he appeared in afterwards.
The next movie he appeared in was a huge success continuing his success story.
Although he stumbled a few times he was still a child worthy of being called the son of a great actor.
‘Oh this is not the time. ‘You have to memorize the script first.’
Seoyeon who was distracted for a moment checked the script handed out at the audition room earlier.
Because he changed his clothes late he was relatively late in reading the script.
‘uh.’
Seoyeon looked at the script and her eyes widened.
‘This is the highlight.’
To be exact it was the highlight of episode 2.
A scene where the male protagonist young Yoon Seo-il and the female protagonist young Lee Hye-wol break up.
In episode 2 it was a scene that tried to make the entire nation cry but ended up failing.
‘I think it was a bit dull.’
It’s not that anyone in particular couldn’t act.
Although it was a highlight it was just an okay scene… or so it felt like.
Seoyeon memorized the script step by step recalling scenes from dramas she had seen in the past.
I thought about referencing Jo Seo-hee’s acting but Seo-yeon quickly shook her head.
‘Nothing good comes from imitating someone else’s acting.’
Didn’t he already learn that from the Soymilk CF?
Watching Seo-yeon quietly reading the script Su-ah asked Jo Min-tae.
“Can Seoyeon memorize the script well?”
“I’m not sure about that. Rather doesn’t your mother know better?”
“He can memorize things well but… I don’t know.”
Su-ah had no doubt that her daughter was a genius.
Still worries are worries.
Jo Min-tae was also worried about the script.
It will be a huge challenge for Seoyeon who has only filmed commercials.
Because there was a huge difference in the number of lines in the first place.
“ruler! Well I think it’s time so let’s get started.”
As soon as two hours passed Ha Teo stood up and said.
“First of all I will select the opposing role based on number. For Lee Hye-wol please put your hand in the red box and for Yoon Seo-il put your hand in the blue box and take a number. “You can think of the same number as your partner.”
In a two-person role the role of the other person is very important.
However the role of that precious partner is decided at random.
Of course most people couldn’t help but be nervous.
‘I hope Park Jeong-woo doesn’t get caught!’
‘Please just avoid Jo Seo-hee!’
Managers and academy teachers each desperately hoped that the child they brought in would at least avoid dangerous people.
The male child actors are Cho Seo-hee.
The female child actors desperately prayed that Park Jeong-woo would not be caught.
It was clear that if the other role’s acting skills were too good their presence would be taken away.
‘Please parachute. Please parachute please parachute!!’
On the other hand the most formidable one was Seoyeon.
Seoyeon who was standing blankly with an expression that was difficult to read had the face of an ordinary person who had no idea what was going on.
“Now then those who were selected first please come out first.”
Number 1.
Under the pressure of having to act first two children came out.
The two began acting each relieved that the other was not a ‘dangerous person’.
“Hmm….”
Many people including producer Ha Tae-oh cinematographer and casting director gathered to watch the acting of the two.
“Then next time is number 2.”
So one team at a time. Another team went by without any particular praise.
This is because most of the acting was believable without any particular flaws.
“Please come out number 7.”
And when number 7 came out Jo Seo-hee came forward.
“ah….”
Of course the child who played the other role was in danger of death.
This is because the acting teacher who came with me also said that I should absolutely avoid Jo Seo-hee.
And then the acting started.
This is the scene where Lee Hye-wol and Yoon Seo-il part ways promising to see each other in the distant future.
The heartbreaking farewell of Lee Hye-wol and Yoon Seo-il who go far away due to rebellion.
“I’ll be back. Definitely again…”
Jo Seo-hee spoke in a watery voice and the boy who played her counterpart did not receive it properly. I tried my best but my presence was completely lost.
“She’s not the princess of a daily drama for nothing.”
“That’s right.”
“It’s not easy to bring out those emotions in such a short period of time.”
This is my first compliment.
Jo Seo-hee took a look at her audition sheet with a triumphant look on her face and then returned to her seat.
“Now let’s see… let’s keep going.”
As number 10 was mentioned in the continuous call Park Jeong-woo came forward.
Of course as soon as it appeared the person who was sighing with relief turned into a face full of despair.
“We’ll all be back.”
The acting that followed was disastrous.
The girl was completely overwhelmed by Park Jeong-woo who poured out his lines first and even stuttered.
As for vocalization her acting wasn’t up to par.
“Hmm… I’m not sure about this because the other person is so bad.”
“But Park Jeong-woo definitely feels different. “I’m a few levels above other kids.”
Some children flinched at the harsh criticism.
They would have been in a similar situation if Jo Seo-hee or Park Jeong-woo had been caught.
“So how many teams are left now? “Please come out number 11.”
At the next name call the nervous boy came forward.
It seemed like there would be a comparison since Park Jeong-woo was next in line.
“oh!”
The boy let out an exclamation of joy without realizing it but then covered his mouth.
That’s right the kid who was ‘parachuting’ around him finally came forward.
Because of this the male child actors who were still waiting for their turn looked at the boy with envious eyes.
‘A girl who filmed a few commercials and was lucky enough to be noticed by someone in charge and came to the audition.’
A parachute that is recognized by everyone here.
That was Seoyeon’s impression.
“The visuals… definitely.”
“There is a reason why the CF came out well. There’s definitely a vibe.”
Even those who laughed at Seoyeon acknowledged her appearance.
The figure standing quietly had a strange aura that girls of similar age could not give off.
But what about acting? It’s not about the atmosphere or the face.
“Now then… please begin.”
Along with the director’s words a boy wearing a neat hanbok spoke powerfully.
He turned his back towards Seoyeon.
「Deterioration degradation. Where on earth are you going!”
Yoon Seo-il stretches out his hand to hold on to Princess Yeonhwa Lee Hye-wol who will soon have to leave far away.
The two have their last conversation on the hill where they often hang out together.
After hearing the words of young Yoon Seo-il Princess Yeonhwa slowly began to speak.
She turned her body like that.
The first thing that caught her eye was her eyes.
Princess Yeonhwa Lee Hyewol’s eyes narrowed slightly as if she was looking at something dazzling about her.
His narrowed eyes gradually widen as he sees Yoon Seo-il who called him.
Nice to meet you. Eyes filled with joy sadness and affection.
The boy’s face was reflected in pupils as red as the sunset.
“….”
moment.
The boy facing her was speechless.
Then he forgot the line he was supposed to say.
Her lips and tongue stiffened.
It’s natural.
Because Princess Yeonhwa was standing in front of her.
