Bearound headquarters.
The actors who passed the first round of video audition were gathered in the waiting room.
There were experienced actors who had appeared in dramas or movies, and newcors who had not been in any works yet.
The familiar faces of the actors made the nearby rookies widen their eyes.
But their eyes did not have the sa surprise and awe that the actors who auditioned a few days ago felt when they saw Kim Jong-ho.
I saw that kid on TV.
Mom, I want his autograph.
The average age was 10.
Today was the audition for the child actors who would appear in [Survivors].
The waiting room was a bit more lively than usual, unlike the quiet tis before.
There were child actors and their guardians who passed the first round, and so children who were bored and chatting with their peers.
Among them, so children were reading the audition script. It was obvious that there was a difference in attitude from the start, so the guardians could not help but sigh.
We will start the audition now.
A Bearound staff mber entered the waiting room and said that, and then it beca quiet.
The appearance of a stranger made the waiting room tense.
When you enter the audition room, there will be a director and judges, and a cara will be installed in front of them. It is the sa model as the one used for filming, and you just need to look at that cara and do the designated acting. The audition content will be recorded as it is.
Can the guardians go in with them?
A staff mber nodded at a guardians question.
Yes. But you cant talk.
So guardians who were worried about sending their children alone breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, number one.
The staff called out, and the oldest child among the child actors and their guardian headed to the audition room. The second round of audition officially began.
***
Number five, co in.
Andrew Walker, who was reading a script full of colorful notes, jumped up from his seat. He had read it so many tis that the audition script he was holding was crumpled.
Its my turn. Dad.
Y-yeah.
The calm expression of Andrew Walker, who had to show his acting, contrasted with his dads restless expression.
Ill be back!
Andrew cheerfully headed out of the waiting room, and his surprised dad quickly followed him.
No, Andy! You have to go with dad!
His dad laughed helplessly at the sight of Andrew already standing in front of the audition room.
He was so brave.
When Andrew Walker and his dad arrived at the door, a staff mber opened it for them.
Unlike Andrew Walker, who was calm, his dad swallowed nervously.
A huge cara that looked threatening was installed in the center, and behind it were judges sitting side by side.
The serious faces of the adults and the large lens of the cara were enough to scare not only children but also adults.
The guardian can sit here.
The staff pointed to a chair near the door, and his dad nodded and sat down.
Dont talk.
Andrews dad didnt know anything about acting.
He had nothing to say.
He just trusted his son and watched over him.
His dad closed his mouth tightly and looked at his son.
The planning team leader sitting on the judges seat looked at such a guardian and wrote sothing on [no.5. Andrew Walker]'s application form.
When filming with child actors, guardians were as important as child actors.
Because depending on the temperant of the guardian, the condition of the child actor could also change.
A guardian who interfered with everything could cause trouble for filming or complain about the directors direction.
The child actor might not be able to show their full potential because of such a guardians pressure.
Number four was like that too.
Despite being told not to talk, number fours guardian gave various instructions to the child actor who was scared by the huge cara.
The planning team leader shook his head at the sight of the child actor moving according to the guardians instructions.
But it wasnt good either if they didnt care about their child actor.
A child actor couldnt check their schedule properly or adjust their condition by themselves.
Its best to be moderate.
A guardian who trusts and cares for their child.
If the level of child actors was similar, it would be decided by their guardians.
That was also why they called more candidates than usual this ti.
I wonder if there is an actor who can show such great acting that any guardian would be fine.
Like Seo-jun Lee, who captivated the world with one smiling scene.
I cant believe it myself.
The planning team leader chuckled and looked ahead.
A child actor who was not afraid of a huge cara looked at them with sparkling eyes.
Please introduce yourself first.
Andrew Walker straightened his shoulders and spoke confidently.
Number five! Im Andrew Walker! Im nine years old!
Andrew looked at the judges sitting down, then looked at the cara and continued.
My favorite actor is Seo-jun Lee!

Even after the midterm exam, the audition for [Survivors] continued.
Seo-jun, who smiled satisfactorily at the test papers with no wrong answers, asked Andaho.
Brother Daho. When will the audition end?
Its almost over. Today theyre going to see the second round of child actors. They might go to the third round too.
I see.
[Survivors] had child actors.
And not just passing extras, but for a long ti.
Seo-jun thought of the role that the child actor in the script would play and smiled brightly.
Its been a while since I worked with younger child actors.
Kim Han Seok, who fild with him in the fire departnts public video One Step, was a year younger than Seo-jun, but this ti they were much younger.
Thats right. I heard the average age is 10
10 years old ans
Seo-jun counted on his fingers and made a surprised expression.
They were born when I was filming Shadowman 2?
Thats right. Arent they similar in age to Seo-juns siblings?
Su Bin is 8 and Eun Su is 6, so yeah.
He was going to act with child actors who were similar in age to Su Bin. It felt strange and interesting.
He had been with older actors until now, but from now on there would be more younger actors.
Seo-jun thought for a mont and decided to stop by the Library of Life.
It was a fake disaster situation made for filming, but he was worried that the child actors might be swept away by the atmosphere of the set and get scared.
Oh. Maybe not.
He wondered what ability would be good for child actors.
Co to think of it, Hollywood might make fake props, but they might use CG to create the background.
Seo-jun blinked as he thought about it.
What is Kim Jong-ho doing these days?
Uncle Jong-ho?
There are a lot of requests for casting from Team 2. I wonder if Kim Jong-hos agency is not like that.
Seo-jun giggled at Andahos question.
They said it was crazy. The manager said it was the first ti he unplugged the phone because it was so noisy.
He understood how they felt.
The superstars manager nodded his head repeatedly.
As the news of Kim Jong-hos Hollywood audition success spread, companies and broadcasters were quick to move to get him.
They already knew that Lee Seo-jun had been receiving scripts from Hollywood and had many casting offers (still amazing, but) sowhat familiar, but Kim Jong-ho was the first actor to challenge and pass a Hollywood audition, so he attracted more attention.
Kim Jong-ho was a good enough actor to work only in Korea, but people admired his courage to challenge a new place where he had no fan base.
Lee Ji-seok: You must be getting a lot of ads too, right?
Park Do-hoon: Just from what I heard, there are three.
But Uncle Jong-ho decided to postpone everything until after filming.
Lee Ji-seok: Isnt it too much?
He understood his joy of being in his first Hollywood movie, but the director would want natural acting that suited the movie, not exaggerated acting that required a lot of effort.
Kim Jong-ho: I know.
Kim Jong-ho: Im just studying.
He looked at the acting textbook he had read for the first ti and watched his first work to refresh his basic acting skills. Kim Jong-ho acted as if he had beco a real rookie actor.
Thats amazing.
Andaho sincerely admired his determination to do better, the spirit of an actor.
So Im going to work harder too.
Seo-jun picked up his phone and sent a ssage to soone.
