Life, Once Again!
CH 109
pretty insane, huh.
Weekend practice?” “I know you guys practice just as much as us, so shut it.” “Rest is important, too.” “No, you.
I’m going to practice more, and get that best acting award.
My senior took it this summer, so I’m gonna go for the winter one.” “Just where is that confidence coming from?” “Practice, obviously.” What a workaholic… Maru gave up on going on a date this week, as well.
As he expected, her mind was set in stone whenever it came to acting.
Even in his brief memories of the past he could see her practicing during their dates.
He didn’t hate seeing her do that, though, so he didn’t mind.
The kids stepped up one by one to act.
After the last kid finished, Ganghwan gave his notebook one last glance before gathering everyone up.
“Good job doing practice, first of all.
You have a pretty decent grasp of your characters even while practicing for the winter nationals.
And here I was getting ready to scold you for being lazy, too.
I’m relieved that you’re all so hard working.” It looked like everyone passed, for now.
Ganghwan continued talking as he flipped through his notebook.
“As you guys know, this amateur class is a test run.
It’s not really about holding a successful play, but more about figuring out how to schedule everything.
It’s not a competition or anything either.
Sure, it’d be good practice for you guys to act at a stage as big as this, but that’s not good enough of a reason to try so hard for this, is it?” A hint of playfulness crept up on Ganghwan’s face.
He was starting to rev up, clearly.
Whenever the man put on a face like that, he always liked to start something ridiculously annoying.
Maru had a small flashback to when the man made him walk blindly on the streets with that same expression.
Saying that it was for developing Maru’s ‘other senses’ or something.
“I heard that many of you are dreaming of becoming professional actors.
Some of you even worked as a child actor even.
That’s why I wanted to show you how professional actors get the roles that they want.
Ah, I’m not actually showing you how that would work.
I’m going to make you do it.” “Meaning…” “I told you, right? If you want a role, prove your worth to me.
From what I saw today, all of you are pretty average.
None of you’re particularly talented or anything.
So, we’ll hold a proper audition, starting today, all the way to next week.
We’re going to hold an audition for several roles each day.
If you want a particular role, you should apply for the audition and challenge yourself.” Ganghwan stroked his chin with an odd smile.
“But just a simple audition is too boring.
We need additional motivation.
Am I right?” The kids reluctantly nodded.
Maru had to wonder just what that human was up to this time on the inside.
“You might know if you’ve seen a play, but normally there are four important roles, four side characters, and four characters that are no better than props.
Occasionally you will see people saying that all characters in a play are important, but they’re wrong.
After all, you can’t say that Romeo’s friend in Romeo and Juliet is more important than Romeo, am I right?” “Yeah.” “That’s the same with this place.
The class president, the delinquents, and the teacher.
Roles like these appear in every scene, and they always take the center stage.
I’m planning on modifying the script to make these four characters have more importance in the play.
Meaning… the stage time for other characters would be cut.” Ganghwan twirled with a little grin on his face.
The students, who were used to Ganghwan’s odd movements at this point, waited silently.
But knowing well that this conversation could go somewhere very odd if Ganghwan was left alone to talk by himself, Maru stepped in.
“So what’s the reward?” “Reward! That’s right, rewards are important.
You know that our play is going to be put on for free, right?” “Yes.” “That’s it.” “What?” Ganghwan made another odd look.
“A teacher that I respect greatly will be coming to see this play.
Not just to watch the play, obviously.
If you truly have dreams of becoming an actor, then… Don’t miss this chance.
Appeal yourselves to this man.” Ganghwan muttered ‘if only I were 13 years younger’ to himself dejectedly.
“Who’s coming?” “You can see for yourself on the day of.
You guys might not know about him, though.
He’s a bit of a legend.
Haha.”
* * * “I’m leaving! See ya!” “…..” She disappeared in a flash.
Her eyes changed immediately after hearing what Ganghwan said.
For someone who wanted to be an actor, this chance Ganghwan offered must’ve been incredibly tempting for her.
Maru didn’t know who Ganghwan was talking about, but he could easily tell it was going to be someone extraordinary.
“Not just to watch, huh…” Was the man there to cast some of the actors? Or what? Maru thought for a bit, but gave up thinking in the end.
Honestly, he wasn’t very attracted by this offer.
He was busy enough.
If he were to get any busier from here, he wouldn’t be able to spend any time with her.
That would be troublesome.
After all, he was only working hard right now for his family.
“Hah, I guess I have to work on Miso’s assignment, now.” The sun was setting, but he still had a mountain of work to do.
Maru took out his phone and started scrolling through his contacts.
* * * Daemyung was on the way back home after finishing his lesson with his coach.
His coach worked as a principal of an acting school after working for years around Hyehwa station.
The coach always taught him acting very kindly, always relating to personal experiences to help Daemyung understand the harder concepts.
‘Hah, I need to lose weight…’ The one thing his coach gave him as homework was to control his weight.
Daemyung wasn’t very ashamed of his body, but he could only agree with the coach when he was told that actors needed to freely control their weight.
But just as he shook off his hunger and got on the bus, his phone rang.
It was Maru.
