0 years old to superstar episode 1147

“When I saw Over the Rainbow, I threw a tantrum and said I wanted to learn the violin too.”

“Oh, my classmates were like that too.”

“We also make a novel into a bestseller by making it into a play.”

“They say that after the war, the number of kids going to art school increased.”

Seojun opened his mouth and started laughing at the pouring testimonies.

“Well, there’s no guarantee that this movie will be a hit.”

Of course, Seo-jun enjoyed reading the script for [Piano (tentative title)] and will do his best to act and help make it a hit. The actors he is working with, Hwa Films, and Director Kim Soo-han, who is in charge of the film, are all talented people.

‘I also think there’s a high chance it will be a hit.’

However, it was not possible to guarantee 100% box office success.

It often happens that movies or dramas that were thought to be successful fail and makeshift productions become syndromes, because the public’s tastes are unpredictable.

“Seojun, it’s a bit… for you to say something like that… ”

“therefore.”

But, when a superstar with only box office hits (including variety shows and documentaries) says something like that, it just makes you laugh.

Choi Jae-won shrugged and said.

“Well, if, really if something like that happens and you fail, at least Seojun will have a video of you playing the piano.”

That alone would have gotten many people and young people interested in piano and classical music.

“That’s right. If someone who only played the violin suddenly played the piano at a high level, there would be chaos.”

“The video will come out like a pictorial!”

The other three members nodded their heads at Kim Si-hoon and Park Eun-deun’s words.

“So, no one seemed too worried.”

“That doesn’t mean that Seojun will only rely on your movies. Classical sampling is just a little bit of a secret ingredient, and the song and stage have to be good first.”

“Of course, if that little bit of secret powder becomes a hit, it will be a big help.”

Jeong Eun-seong continued what Baek I-hyeon said.

“I really hope this movie does well at the box office.”

“I wish I could do that too.”

Seojun nodded.

“Eww… … ”

Director Kim Soo-han rolled on the floor, making a strange noise. Han Jun-seo, who came to check on his friend’s condition, clicked his tongue.

“Is there anything you don’t like?”

“Uh… … I even looked it up in the Korean dictionary… … but it’s not there… … .”

As Kim Su-han said, on the table were scattered a Korean dictionary that had been read and was very wrinkled, materials that seemed to have been found on the Internet, and materials sent by Hwa Film.

The pen marks were clear, as if everyone had put a lot of thought into it.

“I think the title I wrote last time was okay too.”

It’s not like there were no candidates at all, but

“… … Thinking about it again, it wasn’t that great.”

When the director says this, what can I do? I have no choice but to find a title that I really like.

dump.

Han Jun-seo sat down next to Kim Soo-han, who was lying on the living room floor, and hurriedly cleaned up the table.

“But that’s not like you. You always move without hesitation.”

It was like shouting at Seojun during the children’s play [Spring] and getting his autograph. Didn’t you change the character’s setting a while ago?

He’s the kind of guy who gets things done right away once he makes up his mind, but I don’t understand why he’s so hesitant when it comes to deciding on movie titles.

Kim Soo-han, who had been looking up at the ceiling with both hands on his stomach for a moment, said as if sighing.

“Because I want to create a perfect work.”

Han Jun-seo looked at Kim Su-han.

“It’s something I’ve always wanted to do. Working with Seo-jun. It’s thanks to Seo-jun that I got to know the fun and interesting thing called film, and that I became a director.”

Kim Soo-han recalled himself as a high school student without any dreams.

‘I guess I just went to a college that suited my grades, graduated, and became a working person.’

That must have been a pretty good life, too.

However, to Kim Soo-han, who knows about movies now, it was a life that was not very appealing.

“I want to make it the most perfect piece of work I’ve ever done in my life, since I’m producing it with Seo-jun, who changed my life. Also, it’s the first project I’m filming after Seo-jun was discharged from the hospital.”

It was my first work after the accident that may have caused me to sleep longer, or may have prevented me from continuing my acting career. I wanted to live up to the expectations of the people who were waiting.

“It’s also an important piece of work for you, Junseo.”

Kim Soo-han turned his head towards Han Jun-seo and said with a smile.

I still remember it.

[Evil Spirit] The image of Han Jun-seo saying that he was the middle school student that Seo-jun saved, which was on the news at the time. And the image of himself and his friends being surprised and saying, ‘What the heck!?’

“you…….”

Han Jun-seo smiled at Kim Soo-han’s words.

Kim Soo-han giggled.

Just as Han Jun-seo knew how much Kim Soo-han liked Seo-jun, Kim Soo-han also knew how much Han Jun-seo liked and respected Seo-jun.

“The Hwa Film kids are also really excited about the movie they’re filming with Seojun for the first time in a long time after Hwa.”

Even the staff members who weren’t part of the [Piano (tentative title)] team rolled up their sleeves and came to help.

“It’s such an important and precious ‘our’ movie. I want to make it as perfect as possible.”

Han Jun-seo, who was listening to Kim Soo-han, opened his mouth.

“Are you worried about the box office results?”

Ugh.

Kim Soo-han flinched. Then he spoke as if making an excuse.

“… … Where is the director who doesn’t worry about box office success?”

“But still, it’s such a precious movie, so I hope it does well.”

So that everyone can get good results.

Kim Soo-han just laughed at his old friend Han Jun-seo who said that.

“Think of it easily.”

Kim Soo-han responded to Han Jun-seo’s words with, “Huh?”

“Even if the title is important, the most important thing is the movie. If the movie is interesting, people will like it no matter what the title is.”

Han Jun-seo continued speaking in a light tone.

“It’s the same with idol names. There are a lot of strange names, but once you become famous, you don’t even care about that.”

Kim Soo-han snickered at that.

It was because there were idols that came to mind when Han Jun-seo said that.

At first I wondered why they used such a name, but now it seemed like a perfect fit. It seemed like a name made for them.

“Our movie will be like that too. No matter what title we give it, later on people will say there is no better title.”

“Is that so?”

“That’s right. And you don’t have to worry about box office success.”

It was so hard to decide on a movie title, so I could clearly see how hard it would be to film. Perfectionists are hard on those around them, but they are also hard on themselves.

So, Han Jun-seo smiled confidently and said.

“Seojun and I are here.”

At that, Kim Soo-han opened his eyes wide and burst into a hearty laugh.

Then I turned on my phone screen.

“Hey, say it one more time. I’ll record it and let the kids hear it.”

“… … !”

Even if this is comforting… … !

The living room was filled with the sounds of Kim Soo-han, who was full of teasing intentions, and Han Jun-seo, who had said something embarrassing while going along with the mood.

It was no different from usual.

>Kim Soo-han: The title has been decided!

After a while.

[Piano (tentative title)] The team gathered at Hwa Film.

This was because news was reported that director Kim Soo-han had decided on the title.

“That’s great. I was worried that it wouldn’t come out until the poster came out.”

“That’s right.”

Naturally(?), there were people from other teams, including siblings Hwang Do-yoon and Hwang Ji-yoon.

Even though it had been several years since graduation, Seojun smiled happily at the club-like atmosphere of the film.

“Thank you all for waiting.”

Director Kim Soo-han, who greeted us politely, continued speaking comfortably. His shoulders seemed lighter, perhaps because he had shaken off one of his worries.

“I’ve decided on the title, but I’d like you to give me your opinions after seeing it.”

“Yes, I will.”

Seojun and the staff nodded happily, delighted at the title being announced.

“So what’s the title, bro?”

Director Kim Soo-han coughed in vain at Park Woo-jin’s question, then stood up and headed toward the whiteboard.

“What I mean is.”

And then he picked up a black board marker and started writing without hesitation.

[ad libitum]

[Ad libitum]

“I decided to call it Ad Livitum!”

There were two divided reactions to Kim Soo-han’s seemingly satisfied words.

“Is it good?”

“It suits you well!”

“I think it will fit well with the movie story.”

Seojun and the music team exclaimed, “Oh!”

“… … What is this?”

“Adrivitum? What, radium, sodium, something like that?”

“I don’t know either… … ”

Park Woo-jin, the Hwang siblings, and the other teams just blinked at the word they were seeing for the first time in their lives.

“Let me explain.”

Director Kim Soo-han continued speaking with a smile.

“Ad libitum. This is a musical term. In Latin, it means freely or as you wish. It is often used in jazz performances, but it also means improvisation. Of course, in English-speaking countries, they use a different word.”

Seojun nodded at him.

The word improvisation is used more often than ad libitum.

aha.

Only after hearing that explanation could the rest of the people understand why Kim Soo-han chose ‘Ad Libitum’ as the title.

As you wish, freely.

That was the word that truly ran through this movie.

but……

“Well, Soo-han hyung. I think you mean well, but it’s too difficult to explain.”

“Ad, Libitum. It seems like it would be hard to even memorize.”

Because it was such an unfamiliar word and difficult to pronounce, it seemed difficult to use it as a movie title.

The title of a movie had to express the story well while also being easy for people to remember.

“Of course you would think so. It’s a word you’ve never heard before. But it’s also a word that everyone already knows.”

You’re seeing this for the first time but you already know this word?

At Director Kim Soo-han’s words, question marks appeared above everyone’s heads except for Seo-jun and Han Jun-seo.

Hwang Do-yoon, who was sitting next to Seo-jun, was the same.

At that, Seojun opened his eyes slightly wide.

‘No, it can’t be done if you don’t know, hyung.’

I thought that since I graduated, I had forgotten everything I learned in school.

“What do you mean, Su-han hyung?”

Director Kim Soo-han smiled and explained in response to the art team’s question.

“Ad libitum is a word used in music, but it is also used in other places. That is, in our case.”

Our side?

Director Kim Soo-han said to the people’s expressions that only grew more and more puzzled.

“Ad lib.”

… … !!!

This time, everyone’s mouths dropped open, including the music team, director team, art team, and actors (only Hwang Do-yoon).

When director Kim Soo-han picked up the eraser on the whiteboard and erased the remaining letters, only the words [ad lib] remained on the whiteboard.

“Ad-lib is an abbreviation of ad libitum. As everyone knows, it refers to the act of an actor freely saying lines that are not in the script, as he or she wishes.”

As you wish, freely.

Exclamations of “Wow” flowed out at him.

“It’s the first time I’ve heard that word, but I know it… … .”

“I see. Adlib is an abbreviation.”

Among the people admiring the film, Seojun lightly poked Hwang Doyoon’s side.

“Do-yoon, you didn’t know, right? I came to class… … .”

“… … No, that’s right… … .”

“Wouldn’t it be a big problem if I tell the professor?”

“… … Ugh… … !”

Hwang Do-yoon, who was close to the professors and still keeps in touch with them because he was a former student (who even threw away his shit military skills), was flustered and broke out in a cold sweat as if he remembered now.

Seojun, who had been teasing her with playful words, let out a small laugh.
