Chapter 36
Liam wiped the cold sweat on his pants and stretched out his hand
"Nice to meet you, I'm film director Liam Hough"
"Yes, I have heard it a lot, I am Dohyun’s mother, Seo Hye-na."
After the brief handshake, Leon took out the prepared documents from the black bag.
"This is the contract I signed, and I prepared it in order not to let our actors have any shortcomings."
After receiving the contract, Xu Huina's eyes instantly became very professional.
"So wait a minute."
Line by line.
With the momentum of not letting go of even a small clause, I read the contract. I had received the temporary contract by email before the meeting, and it was confirmed by the lawyer, but I still carefully confirmed whether there are other parts..
Li Yan turned back the bangs that flowed into his eyes for no reason, rubbed his hands on his trousers, and made a fuss. Daoxian sipped cocoa leisurely.
When he tasted the sweet chocolate flavor in his mouth.
Bang -
Seo Hye-na put the contract on the table.
A tense moment of silence ensued
"Great, let’s sign the contract."
Seo Huina said that and smiled slightly.
"Phew! Think well. We will take good care of Dohyun."
"Yes, because I trusted the director, I gave my son to him."
It would be great if I could follow the shooting scene, but because I am expanding Marine in the United States, I don't have time.
Seo Hye Na looked at Do Hyun with worry and apology, and Do Hyun, who understood Seo Hye Na's mind, smiled sweetly.
"I'm fine. Liam and Luo Sang are very kind. I will take good photos."
"Well, mom believes in us Dohyun, but if we encounter difficulties during filming, should we tell mom?"
"Yes, I will."
Facing her son's reliable appearance, Xu Huina tried her best to eliminate her worries and looked at Li Yan and said solemnly
"Please take good care of our Daoxian"
"I will repay the trust you have given me."
Having had a warm conversation for the time being -
Seo Huina's eyes showed sharp momentum again
"But maybe……"
"What?"
I know you don't accept support from the production company. How about your personal investment?
Xu Huina's words made Li Yan's mouth twitch.
"I am running a fashion business and can provide support if needed"
"Big, huh! Then sign a new contract……"
Seeing the two adults starting to talk sincerely, Dohyun put down Coco.
Filming is imminent.
The time for negotiation passed.
Li Yan and Seo Huina reached a dramatic agreement and shook hands.
Slowly standing up from his seat, Li Yan asked for forgiveness from Seo Huina.
"Dohyun and I have something to say, can you wait a moment?"
"Of course, Dohyun, mom will go to the car, you speak slowly."
Xu Huina went down to get the car. Daoxian looked back at Li Yan with a surprised expression. Then Leon showed a naughty expression and spoke.
"The role of Isaiah is established."
Li Yan's words made Daoxian raise his eyebrows.
"who is it? Can you tell me?"
I heard a hurried voice from somewhere, and the smiling Li Yan delayed the time.
Seeing Daoxian's expression that seemed to be joking, and when he was about to become a little angry, Li Yan said faintly
"number 22"
"What?"
"Volunteer No. 22, Mike Burkle, is decided."
"What?"
Unlike Daoxian, who showed a surprised expression. I don't know how surprised he was, because he was shocked, and his eyes blinked less.
Faced with a more extreme reaction than expected, Leon showed a confused expression.
Why, you are not Say you like number 22?
"Ah...yes."
A displeased expression briefly appeared on Dohyun's face, and then disappeared.
"But how do you make such a decision? Haven't you been thinking about the image inconsistency?"
"Yeah yeah."
Leon shrugged and said
"She is the only one in my heart. I said I would try harder, but my eyes were very vivid. I can never forget that look. Originally this movie was my desire and challenge, so I became even more greedy. As a director, although it is the disqualifying part."
Daoxian, who vaguely knew what this movie meant to Li Yan, nodded.
"Also, it’s because of you"
"What?"
Daoxian's eyes were wide open. Looking at it like this, I was a little suspicious. Daoxian immediately asked
"Because I said I wanted to act with No. 22?"
"That's true. I originally wrote this book with you in mind. But you overturned it handsomely. Hence the expectation. Maybe that kid can be as handsome as you and overturn my idea."
Liam said this and his cheekbones twitched with joy.
"It’s your first time anyway, so take the risk. Why, my trust in movies suddenly dropped?"
After receiving Li Yan's heroic look, Daoxian couldn't help but laugh.
"No, it should be fun"
"Yes, I knew it was you."
The two villains looked at each other and grinned at the same time.
Mike, kid. Go to the supermarket and buy some of these.
Mike obediently took the paper handed by Kathy and silently walked out of the store with a wallet. Looking at that Kathy from behind tilted her head.
My son has been a little strange recently.
He helped the store without talking nonsense, and he made me obey.
From this point of view, this is a positive sign, but the problem is that he doesn’t have much to say..I order food with a downcast face every day, which is both comfortable and a bit worrying.
"Is there a problem?"
Kathy felt it was strange. Maybe she had a fight with her friends at school and quickly changed her interest.
"How long will that last?"
After simply thinking about it, she started to knead the dough seriously again and prepare for business.
Mike dragged his heavy steps towards the supermarket.
After the audition,
Mike felt that everything was meaningless.
No matter how hard he struggled, the bottom of life could only go to the bottom.
My heart seemed empty.
I didn't want to think about anything.
I walked into the supermarket and picked up the catalogs my mother wrote for me one by one and put them on the checkout counter. Mike thought while handing the card to Cahir.
If you live like this, maybe you will die. It's not bad at all.
Just like everyone else.
Just let nature take its course, so-so. Probably ~ probably ~ probably ~ life is just about ~ Singing an inexplicable song, Mike walked out of the supermarket with the envelope and walked towards home.
At that time.
Jiying -
The phone in his pocket vibrated.
Thinking it was a friend, Mike took out the phone listlessly and turned on the screen.
Beep!
The envelope with A-Mart written on it fell to the ground, and various vegetables and fruits flowed out of the opening of the envelope. The fruit rolled onto the road.
Despite this, Mike's eyes were only fixed on the LCD screen of the mobile phone.
Staring at the mobile phone screen for a long time like sworn enemies, Mike made a frustrated sound like a fool.
"hey-hey?"
As if he didn't believe it, Mike shook his head slowly and brought his eyes closer to the phone, as if his nose bumped against the phone.
But nothing changed.
"oops!"
The backward foot stepped on the grocery shopping envelope.
Mike's body leaned into the smooth plastic bag.
Bang!
He fell to the ground with a loud noise.
The passers-by looked at Mike with strange eyes. But Mike didn't feel that look, nor did he Not feeling the pain of a possible bruise on my butt.
A pulse slowly coming to my eyes
"Really? Really? Really?"
Clear words appeared in his eyes that remained unchanged even after closing the phone screen several times and opening it again. Mike slapped his hand.
It hurt.
"Woo, woo ah ah ah! Woohoo! God! Oh my God!"
Mike, who was once completely uneducated, became religious.
Mike made a strange noise that he couldn't understand for a long time. He finally cheered up when he heard people's chirping. Then he found that there were food around him and he began to think..
He hurriedly picked up the beer in the envelope and stood up from his seat.
With a playful smile.-
"big."
Hippie smiley face - hippie smiley face - the cheekbones couldn't go down. Finally, Mike smiled alone like a madman. The corners of his mouth twitched.
Until just now, the most unfortunate pessimist in the world disappeared without a trace.
Struggled with joy Mike stopped at the shop in sight
"How do I get my mother's permission?"
As a minor, Mike must get permission from his parents.
He groaned and worried about happy things, and suddenly remembered something
-very nice. No matter who it is, even if they have nothing, they can still use money to get the leading role. A position that a poor boy like me would never be able to sit in for the rest of his life.
Woohoo!
The sound of heavy objects falling came from somewhere.
-The audition was not for you, but for your parents.
The lies I had said came back intact, ringing in my ears.
"It's over."
Mike's face turned pale.
Seeing the name appearing on the phone screen, Dohyun pressed the call button
-Well, busy?
"No, it's okay."
In response to what he couldn't help but say on the other end of the phone, Daoxian also answered calmly.
-The pre-production period is over
"So……"
Dohyun's voice trembled slightly
-All right. Now comes actual combat.
The briefly dilated pupils shrank again, and a smile appeared on Dohyun's lips.
"When will filming begin?"
-First, get the leading actors together for a rehearsal. There are also violin playing scenes, and you need to be familiar with the hand movements. Although the violinist has to play it, the hands still need to be the hands of an actor. I heard you can't play the violin either? I plan to invite a violin teacher to teach you the mic and hand movements first.
"What is the violin music in the movie?"
-Debussy's"Moonlight".
Dohyun nodded.
"Very suitable"
-right? And there are other songs I'd like to add if the familiar ones are fast. Just simply imitate it and the rest will be taken care of by editing, so don't be too burdened.
As Leon continued to explain, Dohyun's eyes met the violin bag neatly placed in a room.
The inflated balloon went out instantly.
Draw a line on the mouth with a beautiful arc upward.
Dohyun clenched his fists.
I took it out countless times in the name of practice evaluation, and calluses gradually grew on my originally soft fingertips.
"Am I deceiving Leon now?"
I felt uncomfortable.
His expression gradually stiffened, and Liam's voice came through the receiver.
-Anyway, the rehearsal date is scheduled for 1pm on March 27th. Do you have time?
Dohyun replied calmly.
OK, it does not matter
-Okay, then. Ask Mike too and I'll text you the date and location if it's confirmed. Before that I had been working hard on my acting skills. Now we really have to start filming
"Got it, then I'll wait for your contact"
-Okay, I'm done.
The call was intermittent and not prolonged, and Dohyun slowly lowered his hand. His expression calmed down.
Dohyun let out a long breath. It was a sigh full of exhaustion.
What do you want to do?
Do Hyun has a hard time understanding himself.
Although I am very confident in emotional control, it doesn't seem to be the case recently.
Even though he was free of the emptiness that was eating him every moment, he still had mood swings several times a day. My hands feel cold when I’m happy, but I can endure it when I’m sad.
"Am I doing something wrong now?"
I consulted myself.
I was lying to Leon.
No, it's true that"I" can't play the violin. Maybe I'm not lying to you.
No, it's all an excuse.
Maybe I didn't know I was doing something wrong from the time I impulsively decided to star in the movie.
I don’t know what to do. It
’s very confusing.
The emotions of the blue series undoubtedly evoked memories.
In the face of a longing that absolutely cannot be used to, Dohyun became helpless.
This is a scar that cannot be erased in a lifetime, and it is also an insurmountable problem.
Jung Hee-sung was like that to Do-hyun.
He left too deep a mark. But he disappeared.
I wanted to ask what to do, but no one could give me the answer.
Do-hyun buried his head.
It doesn’t matter. , that’s it.
I miss you so much.
