Commercial plays and commercial movies are different. If they wanted a guaranteed box office, theyâd cast well-known idols.
Seojun could submit an audition application casually and be immediately hired.
But this was a play for children.
Despite the fact that they would cast kid actors in their first Childrenâs plays, they were not as well-known as Seojun.
Every child who applied to the Milky Way Troupe would want to be the main character and receive attention.
As a result, Seojun became discouraged and eventually gave up.
âThatâs true.â The three also nodded. It was obvious what would happen if it was promoted under Seojunâs name.
People would say: âI canât believe Iâm seeing Seojunâs acting right in front of my eyes.â
Shadowman fans especially those who pity William or Jin Natra would definitely watch him.
To experience Seojunâs vivid acting in front row!
âI know. Isnât it possible for me to apply using a different name?â
âRayâ and âXâ flash across Seojunâs memory.
The individuals in the cartoon did not identify him despite his name change and mask.
Itâs not just in cartoons. This is a common occurrence in films and other entertainment programs.
âYou want me to use an Alias.â
âAn alias?â
âItâs a fake name.â
âYes! An alias!â
Kim Hee-sang âtskedâ his tongue in response to Lee Min-Joon and Seo Eun-Hyeâs statements.
âSeojun is well-known in South Korea. Whatâs the point of using an alias?â
â⊠Arenât you going home? What time is it now?â
âAh hahaha. A stage name it is. Stage name. Many celebrities also use stage names.â
Seo Eun-Hye stopped complaining, and Kim Hee-Sungng smiled awkwardly.
Stage name!
Seojun had a gleam in his eyes.
***
The next day.
Regardless of the box office success, An Daho welcomed Seojun, who quickly went to school and extra classes, and carried a large number of scripts and synopses with him, allowing him to discern between difficult and not-so-problematic works.
âThis is what we picked out.â
âYes, thank you! By the way, Daho.â
âWhat?â
Seojun slowly brought up the story his mother, father, and Hee-sung had with his uncle last night. An Daho nodded politely and paid close attention to what was being said.
âSo I thought itâd be nice to go with a stage name.â
âStage name?â
âYes!â
An Daho scratched his head. He was proud of Seojun for thinking about the children he would appear with.
But as an actorâs manager, An Daho should be the one who attentively considers difficulties and solutions.
âIt is not a problem, but do you want to do it, Seojun?â
âYes!â
âLetâs submit the application under your real name. You will pass anyway so everyone would still see Seojunâs face. The people over there should know who you are.â
âOh, thatâs right.â
âShould we write the application form together now?â
âYes!â
An daho unfolded his laptop, and Seojun sat next to An daho.
The venue for the childrenâs play was the Milky Way Center, which is one of the largest theaters in Seoul, it would be a test site for child actors this year.
Perhaps because it was his first attempt, he also received child actors who appeared in TV or movies.
After the deadline for applications had passed, the first round of document evaluation commenced.
More children and parents applied than expected, so an employee went to inquire and many people is actually aiming the position of âsecond Lee Seojun.â
Thanks to the gathering of employees from other teams, the document review, which had been conducted without any problems, was overturned by just an application.
Director Park Ji-soo, in charge of the direction, was still in shock.
âI canât believe he want to have an stage name for Blue Dragon role, where only his voice would come out.â
âWhat should we do, Director?â
Director Park Ji-soo, who was looking down at the application with a frowned face at the question of the supporting director, raised her head.
âFirst of all, heâll audition. There is no reason why actor Lee Seojun cannot come out because we are not trying to make money from this play and it is a play for children. BesidesâŠ.â
Director Park Ji-soo looked at the history written on the application form.
Shadowman 1.
The Devil
Shadowman 2.
Re-investigation, cameo.
âIf he is an actor with this kind of history, other children who act with you will learn something.â
* * *
The audition day for the childrenâs play [Spring] has finally started. Seojun headed to the Milky Way Center with An Daho.
Seojun sat on the car seat and fastened his seat belt on his own. An Daho checked Seojunâs seat belt before went to the driverâs seat and sat down.
Seojun asked, looking around the car that will be Seojunâs foot in the future.
The gleaming and silky appearance mesmerized him. âItâs a lot better than our car!â
âDaho, is this a new car?â
âYes, the president bought a new one for Seojun.â
âWow.â
Seo Eun-chan and the staff of the second team gathered together to choose the strongest and safest car. Everyone was delighted and picked out a car when the boss told him not to worry about the money.
Despite the fact that he wasnât going to drive it alone, just looking through the catalogs and picking out a vehicle gave him a sense of accomplishment.
âUntil when will I sit in the Kidsâ seat?â
âSeojun, youâre not 145cm tall yet, are youâ?
âYes.â
âWhen you grow up, you wonât be able to sit on the Kidsâ seat anymore. Thereâs still a long way to go for Seojun.â
âI see.â
Seojun nodded, rattling his feet.
An Daho drove safely. Vehicles that tried to overtake them were deterred by Seojunâs flashy ride and eventually slowed down.
Seojunâs car soon arrived at the Milky Way Center. Seojun sat quietly in the car seat until An Daho parked in the underground parking lot and opened the door.
âYou can put it down now.â
âYes!â
Only then did Seojun untie his car seat belt and get out of the car at An Dahoâs words.
Seojun and Andaho took the elevator to the first floor of the Milky Way Center.
Ding dong~
On the first floor.
âItâs not him.â
The last day of the audition for the childrenâs play [Spring] and the day of the audition for the role of Blue Dragon.
Since earlier, the eyes of the employees who came to work have been fixed on the elevator. Each time they heard the familiar ding-dong, their attention was immediately drawn to that location.
When the door opened, and they saw someone who looked like a child with their, they would lift their heads up looked at the child.
If it is a girl with long hair, they would quickly notice that it is not him, but if they donât see the boyâs face correctly, they would keep looking at the child.
When an employee who is in charge of checking the childrenâs names shook his head, everyone began to do their job again with disappointment.
âDoesnât the audition start now?â
âWhen everyone comes we will start.â
Everyone stared at the elevator at the employeeâs words.
Just in time, the elevator went down to the underground parking lot.
He is now here!
Ding-dong. Itâs on the first floor.
Slowly, the elevator door opened, and the child and guardian appeared. The childâs face was not seen by deeply pressing the baseball cap with a silver badge, but everyone guessed.
The staff checking the number of people ran quickly.
âHe is more normal than you think, right?â
âThatâs right. Honestly, I thought Lee Seojunâs aura would come out even if he just stood. â
Thatâs what happened before Shadowman 2.
âActor Lee Seojun?â
âYes.â
An employee who came to help with the audition tried hard to hide his nervousness and checked the list. And he handed over the number tag to Seojun.
âThis is the audition number. If they call your number later, you can come out in front.â
âYes, thank you.â
The employee looked at An Daho and said. An Daho nodded.
âYou can go right after the audition.â Iâll let you know the results later.â
âOkay.â
âThis is where you are going to wait.â
The staff showed An Daho and Seojun the props room, after that he guided them in front of a large door.
A tightly shut door was opened by the staff. An enormous stage and large audience were seen behind the wide-open door.
