Audition.

The script reading date was set, and I arrived at the venue with my dad.

“Uh! Mr. Kim Ji-ho…?”

“hello.”

As the official became restless, Kim Ji-ho, who noticed this, asked first.

“Can’t the guardian come in?”

“Ah! Siyun came as your guardian!”

When the woman who guided me and my father arrived at the entrance, she spoke to another insider.

“Si-yoon, who plays Han Ga-in, is here!”

Dad was guided and sat down in what appeared to be a guest seat.

I went up and sat down in the seat with my name written on it, and everyone looked at me with loving eyes.

“why.”

“”Hmm…””

Director Yoo Dae-yeon watched the situation for a moment and then nodded and said.

“Si-yoon must have come too. Let’s go from page c-3.”

“”yes~””

When I turned to page c-3, the situation was written down.

[Yu Min-seong enters a blocked alley, blocks the entrance, and takes a breath.]

Actor Kim Ha-neul, who played the role of Yoo Min-seong, began acting.

“하악… 하악… 아… 김지성 이 개새끼…”

[Despairing at the situation around him, he looks up at the sky and makes eye contact with the person who was looking at him.]

“…! Hey! Help me!”

[Han Ga-in smiles wickedly when she sees the young man asking for her help, and then disappears.]

But, in addition, I made eye contact with Kim Ha-neul, gave her taffy, and said ‘jokka’ with my mouth.

“…!?”

“”Fujal””

Director Yoo Dae-yeon’s eyes sparkled at the sight of him throwing a tantrum without hesitation even at adults in a serious situation.

“Wow… Is that good??? I should change it like this. Siyoon, do you want to keep doing what’s comfortable for you?”

“yes~”

The director wrote down while looking at us, and the script reading began again.

Kim Ha-neul is a professional who quickly becomes immersed.

[After discovering Han Ga-in, Yoo Min-seong mustered his last strength and climbed up the building.]

“Sigh… there… I know it’s in there.”

“Just search, don’t do anything.”

“…Please… Please save me…”

[But Yu Min-seong despairs when he sees that the tightly closed door does not open and the hands he used too hard to climb the building are torn.]

“…please.”

[Han Ga-in, who was watching the scene, could have put a crossbow arrow right into Yu Min-seong’s head, which was visible through the gap in the door, but she began to worry.]

[Zombies start to come up near the roof of the building, and Yoo Min-seong puts everything down.]

“Ha… I see… I’m sorry. When I heard his voice, he must have been a kid… but as you said, he became an adult and caused trouble.”

[Yoo Min-seong lowers his head, and a zombie crawls up to the rooftop.]

“Bow down more, if you don’t want your head pierced, you idiot.”

After reading the script, the director was nodding with satisfaction, but the actors around him started to worry.

“Si-yoon, can you do an action scene?”

Kang Hee-seon, the female actor next to him, said.

“Really? The action scenes were amazing…”

I looked at Song Il-seong, who had the title of 10 million actor.

“What about the swimming scene… I’m trying to get the kid to do that…”

In my role, there was a scene where we went into a basement that was flooded with water due to a broken elevator.

When adults are afraid of dark water and are afraid to go in,

A scene where a zombie dives alone, cursing and saying that there is no way a zombie can swim better than a human.

“Um… let’s go for a little swim.”

“There is no stuntman for the child actor…”

I nodded as if it was no big deal.

“Don’t worry too much~”

The other actors and the director were talking to my dad.

“I’m planning to buy beef today, is everyone available to eat?”

My father smiled and said to Director Yoo Dae-yeon’s words.

“May I buy it as a way to ask for Siyun’s help? All of the people here.”

Buying beef for all these people…

I felt my dad’s ‘class’ today too.

“You’re shooting beef at 40 people!?”

Dad smiled brightly and nodded.

We headed straight to the meat restaurant, and my dad sat next to me and grilled the meat.

While eating meat, several actors got autographs from their father.

Dad must have already prepared, so he took out paper and a pen and got the actors’ autographs and exchanged them.

The same was true for unknown actors.

After finishing the meal, we took a group photo.

A father who burns 12 million won on the spot at a beef restaurant.

“If you want to pack it up, you can pack it up.”

“”and…””

“I heard Jiho is extremely rich… I guess it’s true…”

“Hey… I’m just staying at home with Siyun, so I don’t have anywhere to spend money.”

Dad seemed to like the taste of the meat, so he bought some extra raw meat.

Yoo Dae-yeon came over and spoke to his father.

“Please let me buy this at least.”

“Ah… then I will eat it gratefully!”

Because of my father’s words, buying raw meat became a habit.

Dad only bought the meaning, but gave the honor to Yoo Dae-yeon.

Time passed and the day of filming finally arrived.

I arrived at a studio on set.

They say they invested a lot this time, but the zombies’ makeup is unusual.

If zombies appeared in this world, this is what they would look like…

If it were me in the past, I would have burst the pot without even a second of hesitation just by looking at the face.

My dad covered my eyes as if he was worried when he saw the zombie makeup.

“I can’t film blindfolded.”

“…..”

After my father listened to me, he took my hand away.

“And, it’s less cruel than the reviews I see.”

“…..”

The officials who spotted me came over and greeted me.

“Si-yoon, I have to go to the dressing room, so I’ll show you around.”

When I arrived at the dressing room, I handed myself over to the official.

I put up my long hair that reached my waist, fixed it, and put on a short hair wig.

“Wow! It’s so pretty.”

He also wore protective gear that looked like it was made from a torn rash guard.

“oh…”

As I looked at it curiously, the costume designer next to me spoke.

“Even if a real zombie bites you, you won’t get infected~? Cool, right?”

“huh.

The clothes seemed to be roughly worn for survival, but they seemed highly efficient.

I finished putting on my makeup and looked around the filming set during the break.

Dad follows me with his cell phone.

“Siyoon, let’s take a picture!”

And in the middle of the story, an actress who was playing a supporting role came up to me and started talking to me.

“Shall we take a picture together?”

“huh.”

Starting with the two of us, all the actors were there to film the epilogue scene that would appear in trailers and commercials.

The director said there was more time than expected, so let’s film my cut before it’s too late.

After taking a short photo, the satisfied director nodded.

In addition, other people also filmed several short scenes, and after filming was completed, director Yoo Dae-yeon said:

“Let’s start in earnest tomorrow!”

“”yes!””

One day when movie filming was in full swing.

While we were splitting into teams and filming, a coffee truck arrived.

No, it was ‘milk tea’ under my name.

The person who sent it was Aunt Jieun.

Actor Kim Ha-neul, who was next to me, asked.

“Wow… are you close with Ji-eun Si-yoon?”

“Yes, my dad is closer.”

Now I am using informal language to actress Kim Ha-neul.

Of course, I did not speak informally to actor Song Il-seong, who was older than my entire age combined.

“I’m jealous. I’m really a fan…”

“Really? Shall I introduce you?”

“…really?”

Kim Ha-neul looks at me seriously.

“Don’t take it seriously when you say it in good faith. It’s not attractive.”

“…huh.”

“The age difference is 7 years, so that’s a big deal.”

I ate the milk and bread that Aunt Jieun sent.

After a short break, Director Yoo Dae-yeon spoke.

“If you’ve finished eating, let’s start again!”

Director Yoo Dae-yeon believes that time is money.

This shoot is my first action scene.

Thinking back to the past for a moment, I started managing my facial expressions.

The director announced the start and, as practiced, took a picture of the back of the hand of the villain actor on the wooden desk with a specially made knife.

When the man was about to scream, he kicked off the chair, jumped up, took out a dagger from his waist, threw it into the man’s mouth, and pressed down with his knee to force it deeper.

“Ugh.”

Yu Minseong’s pupils, who were tied up, trembled.

Not acting, but sincerely…

“Shh.”

The director also began to focus.

Footsteps were heard.

I secretly climbed on the shelf without making a sound, took off my socks, got on the back of the man who came in, slit his throat with a dagger, and stuffed the socks into his mouth to keep him from screaming.

“Curr… cuer up.”

He looked at the fallen man and spoke to Yu Min-seong, who was tied up.

“Stay there.”

I left Yu Min-seong behind, closed the door, and went out.

“Cut! Wow!!! Siyoon-ah, it’s amazing!?”

“Wow… you’re really good.”

Director Yoo Dae-yeon said while watching Si-yoon’s action scene.

“I thought it was natural that Siyoon was doing it, but when I think about the other child actors I’ve filmed so far… it’s really amazing.”

The people who flinched at what Director Yoo Dae-yeon said seemed to have forgotten for a moment that I was 8 years old.

After finishing the remaining filming, I got into my dad’s car that came to pick me up.

Director Yoo Dae-yeon approached and said.

“Jiho, this is Siyun’s gift.”

“Ah! Hello. What is this?”

“It’s a movie prop. I want it to become a memory.”

In the scene filmed today, Han Ga-in keeps a photo of her parents on a necklace and loses it to save Min-seong.

The necklace was given to him as a souvenir.

I smiled and accepted the prop that Yoo Dae-yeon gave me.

“Can’t I take a picture of this?”

“… Well, there is a lot of investment from overseas… so they are very careful about preventing spoilers.”

“Thank you~ for following the 3 points I mentioned.”

There were five conditions I placed on Yoo Dae-yeon.

1. Don’t forget that I’m 8 years old.

2. Once vacation is over, filming will only take place on weekends.

3. It doesn’t matter if you have a down payment, so make it a memorable experience.

4. If the mood gets bad for some trivial reason, I will stop filming at that moment.

5. If there is something you are lacking or want, tell me directly without worrying about what others think.

It felt like a wish written in my own handwriting, but director Yoo Dae-yeon kept it.

“Hahaha, yes.”

I gave my head to Director Yoo Dae-yeon, who was trying to pet me.

“I’ll go~”

“I have a photo shoot in two days. I’ll tell my dad about the time.”

“yes~”

After saying goodbye to my dad, we headed home.
