Chapter 37
Mike chewed his nails out of habit.
He was probably the first one to arrive, and he was the only one who arrived at the practice room rented by the director.
Mom’s permission is easier to get than you think.
The coach showed me the deposit stated in the contract and praised him like someone who had forgotten all the bad things they had said about Mike.
I see that you are also talented, look like me, and have good looks.
Mike shook his head remembering that situation change.
What's important now is not that
"Haha... It's over, really. What do you want, madman?"
The movie will be filmed face to face in the future.
What if the child doesn't want to act with me?
Mike's face became black and blue.
Crack - only the sound of biting nails sounded in the empty practice room.
How long did you stay like that?.
Knock - the door opened, and Mike's head turned quickly. His pupils were so dilated that he even stopped breathing, staring at the person who came in.
"Um? Ah, it's early. very good."
Li Yan showed a satisfied expression when he saw the honest actor.
Mike took his hand away from his mouth and shouted loudly
"Hello!"
Seeing the military discipline being caught, Leon waved his hand.
"There's no need to be so blunt. We will see each other for at least two months. take it easy, take it easy"
"Ah...yes!"
It was a difficult ask for Mike, and the way he looked during the interview clearly reflected whether he would save it or not.
But the coach asked me to relax, and I can't say I didn't like it.
Mike looked at Leon's eyes, Thinking about what to say in his mind, Leon spoke.
"So, do you and Dohyun know each other?"
"What?"
"We seemed to know each other from the last audition."
It turned out to be her name!
Mike's face darkened.
The first meeting didn't seem to leave a very good impression, but it was completely messed up in the second meeting.
"Because Dohyun likes your acting skills the most. This is one of the reasons why I chose you. So I want to be a signature to get to know each other"
"Do you like my acting skills?"
"So! I heard you want to act together? I think the actors who star in my movie are a good fit, so I’m looking forward to it. Ha ha!"
Oh, can I know when you said those words?
"During the meeting after the interview,
Mike was frightened.
There was no such thing as a bitch.
When he was taking back the retribution for what he had done, the door opened. Leon's face brightened.
This was a different experience than when he checked his pulse. , a smile full of sincerity
"ah! coming? Our actors!"
"Yes. Hello Leon. haven't seen you for a long time"
"Yes, how are you, mom?"
Okay, bye."
Leon said sideways
"Here, Mike Burkle plays Isaiah. This is Lee Do-hyun who plays Liu. Since we are the leading actors who will act together in the future, we need to get along well with each other and chat more. Because someone asked me to come and say hello today."
Daoxian nodded at Li Yan's words and stretched out his hand to Mike.
"Hello, Mr. Burkle. My name is Lee Do-hyun. I took on the role of Liu. Please take care of me."
Because he was not polite, he even said hello solemnly, with a listless expression on his face.
Mr. Burkler?
Frightened by the unfamiliar name, Mike hurriedly held his hand. The originally tender hand unexpectedly grew. calluses
"Hey, what's the name of Mr. Beckler, Mr. Beckler? Both of them are young, so let's call them by their first names. I got goosebumps just looking at it. Mike was too panicked to answer."
Hearing that sentence, Daoxian smiled slightly awkwardly.
"Yeah? So, Mike, please call me Dohyun."
"okay."
It's hard for Mike to understand the current situation.
Is the boy in front of him a saint?
If Mike were a Taoist, he would definitely punch him immediately.
But as if nothing happened, he looked calmly and solemnly. His eyes were light, his eyes were light. expression. Mike, who stared at it, understood.
"It turns out that I just wanted to cover it up without exposing it!"
The full sense of reassurance made Mike take a breath in his heart.
At that time, he was worried that he would bite the bullet and delay, but judging from the current situation, it doesn't matter if he doesn't worry.
Fortunately.
Mike, who was hiding his heart, held Dohyun's hand.
Briefly After the handshake ended, the hand fell off.
Nothing that Mike worried about happened. Mike decided to be happy.
He promised to be happy.……
"Why are you in such a bad mood?"
What a strange thing.
The rehearsal started quickly. Because there was not enough time, but we had to adjust the scene quickly.
And Mike
"crazy."Is that a human?"
Seeing Dohyun's acting skills, he was going crazy in real time.
And, I understand why the director chose Do Hyun for the role of Yoo and why the child actor could barely sit on the judges' table.
If you are an actor like that, no one will want to miss it.
His eyes met Dohyun's, and he missed the opportunity to say his lines.
Let's go, let's go together. You, ugh!
Mike bit his tongue.
"stop! That’s it!"
Liam's voice made Mike's face become sad.
He had made a mistake countless times. It was n't that Mike had practiced roughly, nor was he unfamiliar with the script.
Mike's eyes wiped away the anxious face in an instant, and came in I got an expressionless Do-hyun.
That kid.
There’s something wrong with that kid’s acting skills.
If you stand in front of him and accept your gaze, he’ll always forget the timing of saying his lines because he’s so lost. He’s supposed to be an actor on the screen, but he’s become attracted the audience outside the screen.
Completely attracted by the overwhelming acting skills.
Looking at the pale Mike, Leon sighed deeply
"Being too good is also a problem."
If Mike had been an adult actor, or an experienced child actor, the story might have been different.
But Mike was a novice who challenged his acting skills for the first time this time. It's hard to understand that kind of pulse being restrained by overwhelming talent and making mistakes.
"Fortunately, there are fewer and fewer mistakes.……"
"Although he is still wandering, in Dohyun's acting, I can see his pulse finding a way little by little."Here, the mechanical performance makes people feel that"it should move like this", which is also obvious and becomes more vivid and natural.
Okay, let's stop here and rest for a while. Now it's the violin teacher's turn.
Mike is tight bite lip
"Did I give up because I couldn't do it?"
For Mike, who has already fallen into negative thoughts, even Leon's words are considered to be blaming his acting skills.
"No. It's just rehearsal. Just do it well when shooting."I'll do it."
Clutching her heart, whose pulse was weakening.
Mike's eyes turned to Dohyun who was happily drinking the drink Liam took out. Mike thought as he fiddled with the cold drink in his hand.
This opportunity will not be wasted.
Mike calmed down and reviewed the practice just now.
Just like that, there were bursts of sounds of paper being poured out, and bursts of sounds of drinks being handed to the back of the neck.
Oh, it seems to be coming.
Li Yan, who was looking at his cell phone, raised his head and said.
Then, just as Leon finished speaking, he heard a knock on the door.
Knock-
Liam walked to the door and opened it. A man with an impressive hooked nose stood there.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Walter Lehman"
"Okay, Mr. Lehman. Thank you for your hard work, I am chief director Lee Ann Hoff."
The two people's hands touched and fell down.
Walter's eyes were fixed on the practice room.
Liam walked away and said, let Walter come in
"It's the two actors over there"
"Ah, yes."
At the age of those who were taught in advance, Walter, who knew him, sneered in his heart.
"What to learn."You are snotty-nosed kids." He turned his head away without showing his thoughts on the surface.
Then at that moment, Walter frowned
"Oriental?"
I said something unintentionally, and the eyes of people in the practice room focused on Walter. Walter, who was frightened by him, stretched out his arms
"No, it's a bit unexpected, nothing special."
This opportunity is also a very important one for Walter.
Once the amount of money proposed is extraordinary, if the movie becomes a hit, Walter's reputation will also increase.
One of the children I don't like to teach is Oriental, but now I have to endure it.
After Walter showed a nonchalant expression, Lyon, who showed a puzzled expression, nodded.
"Let’s start by exchanging names. This is Dao Xianli, and this is Mike Burke."
"I see. Nice to meet you. Dohyun, and Mike."
Exchanging names, Walter distributed practice violins to Dohyun and Mike.
"Okay, so there’s no need to delay, let’s get started. Since both of them said they have never learned the violin, let’s start from the basics. First of all, if you want to hold the violin, you have to wear shoulder pads, but look at the curved part here, right? This is to be worn so that it is opposite to the bend of the violin. Now that you are ready, how do you hold the violin? Let's see if we do."
Walter explained the very basic violin and bow holding methods, tuning methods and fingering methods in turn.
After the explanation, Walter looked at Doxian with vague eyes
"That's it...have you memorized it all?"
I asked without any particular expectation. I just wanted to be discouraged.
But unexpectedly, Daoxian nodded, and the corners of Walter's eyes began to tremble.
"Have you memorized all of this?"
In addition to the basic postures, he also explained the first position, the second and the third position. He didn't explain it in the hope that he could understand it at the first time. Aren't they just children who can imitate the violin?
There was no such thing from the beginning Expect the slugs to understand the violin correctly and move it.
Just to show some degree of formality in front of the person giving the money.
Walter had a subtle mockery on his lips
"Did you hear that clearly? Lying is not good."
No one believed what Daoxian said. Daoxian didn't answer much and looked down at the violin in his hand. Walter understood that this was an expression of embarrassment, and he pretended to be a loving teacher and said
"So can you introduce the first and third positions?"
Walter held back his ridicule. Soon he would say this was a lie. Thinking of waiting, Dohyun's left hand grabbed part of the string
"Starting from the ode, ode, starting from the ode, the warm tone of La, the warm tone of La's poem, the half tone of the poem……"
The corners of Walter’s eyes were trembling.
The practice violins distributed by Walter didn't even have tape to indicate the position of the versicolor. You can't play with colorful stickers on when you're filming a movie, so there's nothing you can do about it.
But Do-hyun looked for the scale as a matter of course and pointed out
"The third position is where you press the third finger with the first finger in the first position……"
Li Yan nodded when he saw Daoxian pointing his fingers and speaking.
I've thought about it before, but my memory is really good.
When Mike grinned and Walter blushed, Doxian's explanation ended.
After saying that, Dohyun took a break and put down the violin.
"Is there anything wrong?"
Walter forced a smile on his lips under the gaze of the three people.
"Ah, well done."
On the surface, I praise you, but on the inside I gnash my teeth.
"You must have performed it deliberately just to embarrass me!"
I knew I was going to learn the violin today, so I must have memorized it in advance. Treat it as a secret and make fun of yourself.
Although I think only a 9-year-old child would be like this, but looking at those black eyes, I don't know why I suddenly feel like was revealed.
For some reason, with inexplicable anger and shame, Walter, who clenched his fists and opened his mouth, lowered the corners of his mouth and said
"But it doesn’t mean you are good at playing just because you know the theory. Of course I'm not playing, I'm just imitating. Actually playing is what I know how to do."
I know it's childish behavior. But it's always an eyesore.
While Liam didn't notice that his eyesight and social skills were close to zero, Mike caught the subtle feeling.
He couldn't help but look at Daoxian with worried eyes. Daoxian's expression was very calm.
Mike is a little confused
"Didn't you notice?"
Looking at his nonchalant expression, it seemed like he didn't know.
No, think about it, that child had that same expression after that happened to him.
"Is that expression also an act?"
Thinking about it, my arms got goosebumps.
Mike quickly looked at Walter. He seemed to know nothing, and his mean eyes flashed wonderfully.
That one, like a bulging lizard rushing toward the plate The anaconda is sitting on a mat.
No wonder the pulse is a little dazed.
