Soon, he received a call from director Sara Roth. Her face filled the laptop screen.
Nice to et you. Im Sara Roth.
Hello. Im Seo-jun Lee. You can call Jun. Please feel free to talk to .
Director Roth nodded and smiled at Juns words.
Okay. Jun, did you read the script?
Yes. It was very interesting.
Jun told her what he liked about the script and director Roth nodded repeatedly. He was a handso actor who looked good no matter what he did.
Good. Jun, have you ever played the violin?
A little bit, a long ti ago.
He had learned to play the violin that he received as a gift from his aunt Nara when he entered elentary school.
It had been two years since then and he had learned for a short ti. He had diligently learned activities like taekwondo or horse riding that would help him during filming, but he never expected to star in a movie about violin.
I learned piano well, though.
Then, can you practice until the filming? You dont have to play perfectly. You just need to learn how to hold the violin, how to grip the bow, and the basic posture.
When is the filming?
Its still the first stage, so I think well film next year. Theres outdoor filming too, so maybe in spring or sumr when the weather gets warr?
It was August now, so he had nine months left. He had more than enough ti to practice the posture of playing the violin.
Okay.
Ill send you the sheet music for the parts of the playing scenes. You can practice the order and then Ill send you the playing scenes when the violinist is cast, so you can match the timing.
Okay.
Director Roth continued to talk. Jun listened attentively.
So of the songs, Im thinking of commissioning them, so theres no sheet music ready yet, but Ill send them to you as soon as they co in. I hope you practice them. Um. Is it too much?
No. Its okay. I think of it as a script and morize it. Its easy.
He could practice one song a month and that would be nine songs. And most of them were short plays. He could morize them easily, but if he found a suitable ability in the Library of Life, he could play them more easily.
Director Roth nodded at Juns words. Well, it would take a long ti to play like a real violinist, but what she wanted from Jun was a plausible posture.
If its hard to morize all the violin fingering, just make sure you raise and lower the bow at the right timing. The fingers wont show much unless its a close-up. But if you can, morize them.
Okay.
And before the filming starts, theres a lesson for about a week, can you co to the US? Im going to invite other child actors who have violin playing scenes. I think its better to learn with the actors and get along with them than to practice alone.
Jun nodded at director Roths words.
Ill definitely participate if I dont have anything urgent!
Okay. Then Ill contact the agency as soon as the songs co out.
Director Roth hesitated a little and opened her mouth.
Jun. Lets make a great movie together.
Yes!
Jun smiled brightly.
First, he had to find a teacher who could teach him the violin. He wondered how to find a teacher and suddenly realized. This was the job of the agency.
Jun contacted Seo Eun Chan, considering Ahn Da Ho, who was working with Marine Star and Kings Agency.
You want to learn the violin?
Yes!
Didnt you learn it a few years ago, Jun? I think I saw a video that your sister took a few tis.
He rembered that he did well. Jun answered Seo Eun Chans question.
I can play a little, but I want to play more naturally. I have to read the sheet music and match the timing and playing. Its hard to do it by myself.
Seo Eun Chan scratched the back of his neck at his words. He had read the script too. There were quite a few scenes of playing the violin, but he honestly thought Jun would do well with a little learning.
Okay. I got it. The violin, huh
Seo Eun Chan thought for a mont.
If it was guitar or piano, I could ask the singers that Bubble knows, but the violin Wouldnt Soo Hee know that better?
Right?
Jun blinked at Seo Eun Chans words. He hadnt thought of Choi Soo Hee.
Choi Soo Hee, who was Kim Hee Sangs wife and Juns aunt Soo Hee, had worked as a pianist in Europe and settled in Korea a few years ago. She was teaching college students now. Jun quickly called aunt Soo Hee.
Hello. Jun.
Hello. Aunt!
Heong?
He heard a babys voice from the other side of the phone. It was Kim Subin, who had turned one a few weeks ago.
Subin babbled. Choi Soo Hee switched to video call with a smile. The baby was holding a sli doll in his arms and tilting his head.
Yeah. Its Jun, your brother.
Heong?
Kim Subin smiled brightly and leaned his face toward the cara.
His blinking eyes, chubby cheeks. Jun burst into laughter. Subin also laughed loudly and squealed when he saw his favorite brother laughing.
Hi, Subin.
Heong! Hi!
Subin, lets talk with Mom and brother.
No!
Kim Subin seed to grab the phone, and the cara went dark. Choi Soo Hees voice ca through. Jun laughed and said.
Aunt, I can hear your voice well, so you can just tell .
Haha. Okay. I got it. Whats up?
Do you know anyone who can teach the violin?
The violin?
Yes. My next work is a musical movie. I have to play the violin. The filming will start next spring or sumr. I need soone who can co two or three tis a week and teach until then.
Heong? ! !
Yeah. Hi, Subin!
Hi!
Subin, who was leaning his face on the phone, laughed at Juns greeting.
Choi Soo Hee thought for a mont. She recalled the faces of the people she knew. That person was abroad, and this person was busy.
Dont you have to learn from a famous person for a movie shoot?
No. Theyll hire soone else to teach later. I just need to learn the basics until then.
Then it doesnt have to be a professor, right?
Yes!
Then I know soone. Hes still a student, but hes done so tutoring and he can teach well. He ca to Korea not long ago and hes looking for a short-term job. He might leave the country next year. You might not be able to learn from him next year, is that okay?
Yes. I can find another teacher next year.
Okay. Then Ill contact him. Oh dear. Subin is upset.
Heeng! Subins whining mixed with crying ca from across the phone, and Jun and Choi Soo Hee burst into laughter.
I thought he was quiet. Take care, Subin!
Bye bye, say bye bye. Subin.
No! Heongaa!
Co and play again, Subin.
Yeah!
He understands the words co and play perfectly. Well, see you next ti. Jun.
Yes!
The phone hung up with Subins scream and Choi Soo Hees laughter. A little later, a picture of Subin holding a sli doll and a phone arrived.
-Subin is calling for his brother while looking at the phone haha
