Life, Once Again!

* * * *

Kanghwan stands on a stage with a toplight on. A small theater that has been around for a long time. The concert that we've been preparing for since the beginning of this year starts tomorrow. In fact, I finished practicing immediately, but the theater was behind schedule. Reality has always been slow in the face of money.

“Actor Yang. I'm getting a little light. ”

A smile smiles from underneath the stage.

“I'm getting some good lighting. ”

“Come and have some coffee. ”

I received a paper container handed to me by a smile. A famous franchise coffee. Kanghwan said, looking at the coffee with a lot of cream.

“How much is this for one drink? ”

“Five thousand won. ”

“How much would it cost to get discounted tickets to our theater? ”

"Five thousand won."

"I knew it."

“Why? Too bad? ”

“No. I'm starting to think I should work harder. If this glass and an hour and a half of the show are sold for the same price, that means Merritt's not in the play. What could be more tragic for you as an actor? ”

“Suddenly, I'm not like you. ”

“I'm about to start worrying about money. I have to get married. I have to buy a house. I have to have a child.If I want to live with a beautiful wife, I can't afford the money I make now. Keep it tight, buddy. ”

“Why don't you just make a girlfriend and talk? Before that, stop acting weird. Living crazy in theater isn't bad, but getting married won't be enough. ”

“Ha, don't you have a woman to feed everywhere? ”

“Is that you?”

"Don't you know the old saying, 'He's a kid'?"

"What kind of a parable is that?"

A smile pierced his head with a index finger. Keeping a stiff head, Kanghwan looks at the stage. I wasn't complaining about this life. The play is good, so I've dedicated everything since childhood to the play. Stable profits were bored and the State Troupe came out and entered the local Troupe, where it was recognized and entered the famous Troupe in Seoul. However, group life did not fit in the lecture. Personal time was limited because it was an extreme system that was freer than the state theater where programs were always written, but also pursued profit. The bigger problem was that you couldn't choose the drama you wanted to do. Formal members should be paid to act. Professionally, you have to do the right thing. Kanghwan was unable to endure the feeling that it was selling smoke for a lifetime.

It wasn't that money didn't matter. However, the act of not being excited to make money was inappropriate. So I went to the theater. Most of the people I used to know are crazy. "He said that the lecture was acting when he ran out of the National Theatre and quit the famous theater and asked," What are you going to eat? "Since then, I have been living like a freelancer with kites. If there was a role I wanted to play, I ran to the station after I died, and I invested in the money I had earned to win the drama I wanted to do.

Seeing that life was repeated, I had no problem eating and living right now, but I felt sick when I thought about it later. Even an actor who has accumulated awareness, if he can't get on stage after a few auditions, it will be forgotten and eventually disappear.

“It's hard to live with what you want, isn't it? ”

Kanghwan swept the Knee-high stage with his palm. Thirty-two. It's a vague age to say it's too late to start something, but it's never too soon. Everyone is fast these days. And it becomes universal.

The singers who came out when they turned on the TV were now acting as actors. At some point, it was like that. Learners are no longer words that refer to people who are good at acting, but people who are acting.

The singers didn't reach out to this theater. Musicals, big plays, dramas, and movies. They have entered where large capital is being poured in. It is always sunny to wait for a drink when it is hard. ’After being stripped of the role of an idol singer in a long-running musical audition, I lost my dream. The senior didn't blame him. He said that the flow of time is just that, and that if you cannot resist it, obeying it is the way of life.

Dory, who lives here. Idol came to the musical with a large promoter on his back. The Internet has heard that the play is a joke. Instead of being cheerful with such writings, Kanghwan realized that the flow of time was really flowing towards them. Idol becomes an issue. The issue is money. The theater industry is always struggling with money. The effect of a single idol in such a place is unimaginable.

The tickets to the musical idol was always sold out because the song and the smoke were lousy. What's the case? The musical should have ended up being a waste of manpower and a waste of money that people could never succeed. But as a result, the musical was a huge success. I continued to make money being treated as an unlimited number of years until the next one, called Freerun, was caught.

When he came back to reality with his dream, he talked about the musical and laughed bitterly. “It is as big as the number of times I stand on a stage to learn. It's as big as we've got a chance. Watch out. Those young bastards who are cursing will now be better at acting than me.” His words, which had not been able to break the cup as cool as usual, immediately appeared as a reality. Idol, who came to the musical with all kinds of insults, became such an unfortunate but flawless actor. Ticket power and some acting skills. It was a moment that proved in many ways that taking Idol was better than writing an old actor without recognition.

The market did not let the proven new idea stand. Handsome and pretty idols entered the theater one by one. The actors reacted badly, but the voices of actors lacking ticket power could not reach the investors. Although the strongest actors were able to participate directly in casting and choose the people to play with, the majority of actors had to act with Idol who had slipped into the next seat.

“Maybe I should sing, too. ”

“You think singing is easy. ”

“A thirty-year-old idol. Don't you think it'll work? It's unusual.”

“Why all of a sudden? Yang Ganghwan, wake up. You've been talking nonsense all along. Not like you.”

“I'm the one who's talking nonsense. ”

“It's not funny, it's fun. Funny crazy sounds and real crazy sounds different. ”

The smile that approached me sat on the stage. Thank you for letting me play with you without hesitation. When I said there was less pay, I blew up the uppercut, but I continued to participate.

“Stop trembling and think about tomorrow's play. You deserve it. ”

“You're so hard on me that I'm going to go over thirty and think about the real thing. You have a girlfriend, right? Lots of money.”

“Yes, when you jumped out of the city theater, I quit my job at the end of the factory, and when you went to the local theater and acted freely, I stepped onstage. Wouldn't it be unfair to make less money than you if you were so kind? ”

“Yes, it is. You're the best. I envy you for your success. ”

I grilled an empty paper cup with my hand. You're getting childish today, probably because you met your boss yesterday. After meeting him again after a year, he said that welding days are good, so let's just have a drink like old times. When Soju thought that she would never drink again, she stuck her head to the table.

- Why is life so boring? Life is stable but not fun. You, don't come in here. Die there or die there. Don't live like me.

Can we really give up the dream? I didn't think it was a lecture. Dreams can't be given up. Abandonment is letting go. But dreams are always growing up in front of me. Everyone says they're giving up, but the truth is, they're just closing their eyes. They desperately ignore dreams. If I have the chance to challenge again, I will open my eyes and reach for the place that is beautiful.

“Have you seen Kats? ”

Kanghwan asks. He nods.

“What do you think? Is he good? ”

“Get it or something, you mean that idol? ”

“Huh."

“Well, that's good. Good job, double-casting, but when she came out, the auditorium was no joke. I thought you were coming to the concert. There was a kid waving even a nightstick. Of course, staff calmed me down quickly, but what can I say, I was a little shocked. Young kids in the audience are so excited to see musicals. I was a little devastated at the moment. ”

She learns to smile, but she is also ready to go onstage at any time. There's no way I won't be bitter. Especially when you think of nameless actors practicing to be in such a big musical.

A smile made me drink coffee.

“Five thousand won for a cup of coffee. Like you said, the reason people don't come to the theater is because they think it's worth more than this coffee. I don't get it when I think about it. People who play want to save the play no matter what. Bring me Idol, I can sell tickets, I can pay people when I sell tickets. You'll be able to plan your next show. You can't just go after art in front of eating and living problems. And, if what we do is not so different from what they do...... I think I'll use idols too. Pride doesn't feed you. ”

A smile sits on the stage with a paper cup staring at him. Then he clenched his fist and slammed the abdomen of the steel tightly.

“But I can't stand the sound of you fading. You know, it just seems normal to do what you want to do, so don't worry about it. And work harder, like you said. People come to see actors, not idols. Actress Yang, do you understand? ”

Kanghwan smiles, touching his torn stomach. I am thankful to have such a friend around.

“Yes. We need to wake up and have some fun. ”

A thunderstorm rises. When I was a kid, I made this commitment. Fill the National Theatre with my name. A big, big, rustic dream. I suddenly remembered the commitment I had made to myself that I had forgotten.

“Make it fun, but don't go diving. We can't let the lead dive. ”

Smile said with a smile.

“It doesn't go away for a while. ”

“Sure thing.”

“Oh. I got a call from Joon-min. He said the movie will be in soon. ”

“I heard you were auditioning. It's probably all over the site. ”

“People you know will come to you with rumors. Director, producer, actor. It's a study board just for filming together. ”

“I think you're spreading the rumor on purpose. Anyway, I heard that most of the actors who wrote the script said they would try it. ”

“It's the power of the teacher. ”

“Maybe it's Jun-min's power. If they decide to help, they'll reach the rations, but the SC will take care of it. ”

“Production costs are not blockbusters, but blockbusters are participating. ”

“If not for this, I'm auditioning. ”

Smile tapped the stage with his palm.

“Is that what you want me to hear? ”

“Of course.”

“If you sell a lot of tickets, I'll pay you more, so let's go with that. ”

“Only?”

“Winter. My wallet's about to go bankrupt. ”

“You're a frustrated life. ”

“You said to live like that! ”

“Yes, take care of it. ”

It was a shrugging smile.

“Oh, did you hear that? Su-yeon went to the high school teacher you taught earlier. ”

“…… what? ”

My face turned scary like a furious cat. I thought I was saying something I shouldn't have, but I already left the train.

“Were you two... not getting along? ”

“It's even more amazing to have someone good with her. Hold on a second. I'm gonna call my boss. ”

It was a smile that went out the door, one by one. Kanghwan scratches his head and smiles.

“Era, I don't know. I'll take care of it.”

* * *

Su-yeon frowned and looked at her phone. I continued to be unhappy with the name. Why did she call me in the morning? I answered the phone with an impression. Of course, your voice is kind.

"Oh, Mr. Smile. I called him myself. What happened?"

- Let me ask you one question. Are you in charge of the dominant theater department?

"Yes, but?"

- Got it.

The phone is disconnected.

Suyeon hung up her phone, saying. I don't like her either.

I found a place that still sells rice cakes.

Why is it so good to see you in such a big weather?

There is also a place in Seoul that has grass in it, but I will go and try it one day.
