Of course, it wasn’t easy to completely separate Han Jun-seo and ‘First Life’ at once.
‘First Life’ had a huge impact on Seo-jun’s life, and it’s not like a person’s thoughts can change so suddenly.
‘still…….’
Han Jun-seo seemed quite happy, as if he had changed quite a bit.
Just as Seojun thought.
Han Jun-seo also noticed Seo-jun’s change.
In the past, he looked at me like a parent looking at a well-raised child, but now he was looking at me as a fellow actor and an equal (of course, Han Jun-seo himself was his junior and still had many shortcomings in terms of skill).
I couldn’t tell you how happy I was that it was recognized.
Thanks to that, I practice harder. I want to show a better side of myself.
Seojun also felt motivated by the passionate acting.
Forgetting all about ‘first life’ and reincarnation, the ‘fellow actor’ in front of me was a cool and shining actor in his own right, the kind of actor I always wanted to act with.
“Junseo, what did you do wrong to Seojun?”
Well, to other people it was still a hot gaze.
With only a few days left until the start of filming, Director Kim Soo-han came to see the actors’ practice and asked that question to Seo-jun, who was looking at him with burning eyes. Han Jun-seo burst out laughing.
“Haha. No.”
“Really? You didn’t make a mistake without even knowing it?”
Director Kim Soo-han was not familiar with that look in Seo-jun’s eyes because it was his first time filming with Seo-jun since the public service video [One Step] with child actors.
“What if it was a mistake?”
Han Jun-seo asked back with a face full of laughter.
Director Kim Soo-han thought about it for a moment. Seo-jun was a good-natured person, so he wouldn’t have looked at him like that unless it was something serious.
“… … I stole the script that Seojun was reading and threw it on the floor… … There’s no way I could do that.”
Because Han Jun-seo also thinks of the script as his first priority.
Look at it now.
As soon as the words were spoken, didn’t Seojun and Hanjunseo’s eyes turn fierce?
“Just kidding. Just kidding.”
Director Kim Soo-han quickly raised both hands and said.
It seemed clear that he knew the difference between Seojun’s hot gaze and his murderous gaze.
“Seojun originally looked at other actors like this when they were acting. He really likes acting and actors.”
Seojun smiled awkwardly at Han Junseo who was explaining.
It’s not a wrong thing to say, but it’s a little embarrassing to hear it said like this.
“somehow!”
Director Kim Soo-han was immediately convinced by Han Jun-seo’s explanation.
“It was exactly like the eyes of a tiger hunting its prey.”
The metaphor was a bit creepy though.
“It’s not that much… … .”
A tiger stalking its prey.
While preparing for the play [MOEB-436], Seojun scratched his cheek as he recalled the two yellow eyes shining in the pitch-black darkness in the tiger documentary he had seen.
“No, that was exactly it. What does the prey think?”
“Hmm. It was like a tiger that had starved for three days.”
Seo-jun burst into laughter at the playful conversation between Director Kim Soo-han and Han Jun-seo. Director Kim Soo-han and Han Jun-seo also laughed along.
“That’s good. It seems like practice is going well.”
Director Kim Soo-han said with a smile.
I somehow thought that Seojun and Hanjunseo would get along well since they had a lot in common, but I was relieved to see that they became closer than expected.
‘Then there’s no need to worry about these two’s acting.’
Of course, I wasn’t worried at all, not even 0.1%.
“What about the other actors?”
Director Kim Soo-han thought of the actors who dropped what they were doing and ran to Seo-jun and Han Jun-seo when he suggested that they practice acting together if they had time (both Seo-jun and Han Jun-seo liked it and agreed). They were wonderful actors who joined early and practiced hard even though their parts weren’t that big.
‘Of course, I plan to hone my acting skills by watching Seojun and Junseo’s acting and listening to their advice.’
It was also helpful for [Ad Libitum], so as a director I was very happy about it.
“I think we can start filming right away since everyone is working so hard.”
“Especially, Sanghoon hyung works hard… … .”
A quiet practice room.
A conversation between the director and the two actors followed.
***
It was a few months ago that Kim Sang-hoon, a middle-aged actor living in Busan, received a casting offer.
“… … How do you know me… … ?”
Kim Sang-hoon, holding a script titled [Piano (tentative title)], asked with a puzzled expression. The casting director from Hwa Film smiled and said,
“Our lead actor recommended it. He said that he saw a play in Busan before and that actor Kim Sang-hoon’s acting was very impressive.”
“ah…….”
“We also really enjoyed the play today.”
Director Kim Soo-han, who was sitting next to the casting director, added with a smile.
At the same time, the area behind Kim Sang-hoon became quietly noisy.
“They said they enjoyed our play!”
“Uncle! I said I would do it! Hurry up!”
It was not any other director, but director Kim Soo-han.
To the general public, he is famous as Na Jin’s first fan. However, in the film industry, he is more famous as a talented director who has never failed.
“No matter how much I think about it, this is a godsend!”
“Hey hey, be quiet!”
Even though it became quiet, the excited eyes of the members were still loud.
Strangely enough, the casting director and director Kim Soo-han seemed to be accustomed to this kind of atmosphere (Hwa Film also has this kind of atmosphere), and continued the story without paying much attention.
Kim Sang-hoon listened to the story with a slightly dazed expression.
“… … I’ll think about it for a bit and then get back to you.”
“Yes, I understand. Oh, right. It’s only a part of the script, but please be careful not to leak it.”
Director Kim Soo-han and the casting director left with a big smile, and the members rushed in all at once.
“Uncle, why didn’t you say you would do it right away!?”
“What a great opportunity!”
Kim Sang-hoon opened his mouth with a pouty face.
“I have to go to work.”
I don’t know how long the filming period will take, but it won’t be short enough to cover it with annual leave. I have two daughters, and they’re both college students, so I can’t neglect my work.
“… … Still, it’s a really good opportunity, so talk about it with your family.”
Kim Sang-hoon nodded with a bitter smile at the members’ words.
That evening.
Back home, while having dinner, Kim Sang-hoon brought up the story.
“Of course I should! Director Kim Soo-han is really famous.”
“Not that much.”
“But you’re famous, right? And the production company is Hwa Films? That place is also really great!”
“That’s true. I agree.”
The two daughters showed more passion than Kim Sang-hoon.
My wife was the same.
“Don’t worry about the company. I’m working and have some money saved up. This is my chance to really challenge myself.”
It was such a simple permission that Kim Sang-hoon was completely bewildered.
“You’ve only been able to go on short filming trips because you’ve been busy with work. What I like is your acting. I’ve always wanted to see you for a longer period of time, but now you’re finally saying this.”
“I like it when Dad acts too. We just need to get scholarships.”
“… … That… … I’ll try too.”
At that, Kim Sang-hoon’s eyes became moist.
“Honey… … guys… … .”
“Try it once! The actors who were in the drama are appearing here and there.”
His wife said with that spirited look that Kim Sang-hoon had fallen in love with.
“That’s right. Dad will become that famous too!”
The two daughters also cheered on their father with sparkling eyes.
Kim Sang-hoon also gained courage from that.
“Then… … shall we give it a try?”
Of course, they wouldn’t have become as famous as the actors who appeared in the independent film [Hwa] as ‘Mrs. Ko Seong’ and ‘Mr. Lee’. That’s because actor Lee Seo-jun appeared in it with them and created a lot of buzz.
Still, I wanted to give it a try.
Kim Sang-hoon immediately replied to the casting director.
I didn’t know how happy I was to hear the casting director’s welcoming words.
“What’s the name of that movie, honey?”
“Piano. But that’s a temporary title.”
And after a while.
When I was doing a handover at my company to go up to Seoul.
My phone started ringing. At the same time, text messages and BananaTalk messages poured in to the point where they almost covered my phone screen.
>Dad!!! Lee Seo-jun!!!
>Uncle!! Lee Seo-jun!!
>Crazy! Lee Seo-jun!! Han Jun-seo!!!
Somehow, there was no content at all, and everyone was just sending the names Lee Seo-jun and Han Jun-seo.
“what?”
Kim Sang-hoon tilted his head to see what was going on.
And it just froze.
[Lee Seo-jun and actor Han Jun-seo to star in director Kim Soo-han’s film [Piano (tentative title)]!]
The film he is starring in is [Piano (tentative title)] directed by Kim Soo-han.
The movie starring Lee Seo-jun and Han Jun-seo is also directed by Kim Soo-han, [Piano (tentative title)].
‘then……?’
My mouth fell open.
>Dad!! Awesome!!!
It was a total hit.
From then on, time passed quickly.
I also heard the unbelievable story from the casting director that the lead actor he recommended was Han Jun-seo, and I was also offered to practice with the lead actors.
His family quickly packed their bags and sent Kim Sang-hoon to Seoul.
“Just stick with me until I crank it up, honey.”
“Learn everything you see, Dad!”
It felt like I was kicked out somehow.
Of course, Kim Sang-hoon also had a lot of desire to learn from Seo-jun and Han Jun-seo’s acting during this practice period.
‘How is it?’
I’ve heard a lot that Seojun and Hanjunseo have good personalities, but I don’t think they’d pay that much attention to me since I don’t have many scenes with them and I’m sure they’re busy practicing individually.
‘I wish I could hear even a little advice.’
As I went there thinking about that, I found myself taking acting lessons from Seojun and Hanjunseo.
From acting in the role of ‘Lee Jae-ha’s father’ in [Piano (tentative title)] to other things.
‘???’
It was a very confusing situation, but it was a good opportunity.
Kim Sang-hoon studied hard and got used to it, thinking that he should learn it well and teach it to the members in Busan.
There was no class more luxurious than learning acting directly from a world-class actor.
I wish it could stay like this forever, but happy times always pass quickly.
In the blink of an eye, today came to be.
>Dad, are you practicing today too?
>Fighting!
Actor Kim Sang-hoon smiled brightly as he read the messages sent by his daughters.
The place where Kim Sang-hoon is now is not the practice room he usually goes to, but an indoor studio where the completed sets of [Ad Libitum] are installed.
“Can I prepare it here?”
“Yeah. That’s perfect!”
Moreover, unlike the quiet practice room, it was noisy because there were a lot of people.
The actors I became close with while practicing acting, the staff at Hwa Film who kindly asked me, “Is there anything you need?”, and even the [AD] team staff.
The friendly atmosphere was similar to the one we had with the members who were performing a play together in Busan.
Of course, there were many places with a good atmosphere among the movies that Kim Sang-hoon participated in, but this place seemed special.
‘Actor Lee Seo-jun… … Is it thanks to Seo-jun?’
I thought that since it was almost guaranteed to be a hit, everyone felt less pressure. The investor was Seo-jun’s agency, Cocoa Entertainment, and actor Han Jun-seo was also appearing in the film, and the script was good.
Wouldn’t failure be a more difficult condition?
‘I can’t believe I’m calling actor Lee Seo-jun ‘Seo-jun’… … .’
It had been a few weeks since we first met and practiced together, but it was still awkward and nice to only call Seojun by his name. My two daughters and my wife screamed when they heard that story.
“Excuse me, team leader.”
“Yes! What’s going on?”
“Can I tell my family that I’m taking the test today?”
Kim Sang-hoon asked the PR team leader of [Ad Libitum] who was passing by. The team leader smiled brightly and nodded.
“Yes, it’s okay. The article will be out soon. You can also tell me that we’ll be filming starting tomorrow.”
“thank you.”
Kim Sang-hoon, smiling brightly, quickly sent a message.
< Today I'm in the studio, not the practice room.
< I'm planning to take the exam.
Wow!!!
>I’ll pray too! I hope the movie is a huge hit!
As I was about to send a message to my wife who was working, the two lead actors showed up, having finished preparing.
Wow… … .
The lead actors really seemed different no matter what. Lee Seo-jun and Han Jun-seo seemed to have a halo around them even though they were dressed in ordinary clothes.
< The real lead actors are different.
You are always the main character to me.
