Chapter 294


    Chapter 294


    On Saturday afternoon, the same week that the fourth episode of Spring Has Returned aired.


    Kang Tae-young was sitting in front of his computer, nervously shaking his legs and switching between his computer and phone screens.


    He had tried several times to simulate the ticketing process with his mouse.


    He felt that the site was slowing down, and it was not just his imagination.


    Spring Has Returned is almost number one in the plus rankings in other countries, so youll have a lot of overseas schedules starting next week Kang Tae-young. Are you listening?


    Yeah, yeah.


    You dont seem to be listening at all.


    Today was the day of actor Lee Seo-juns fan meeting ticketing.


    He had prayed to every god in the world yesterday, and he had placed purification water and a talisman on his computer this morning.


    He had made a huge fuss, and Ju Yong-jin remembered his expression with a small smirk.


    Should I book a schedule for you on the day of the fan meeting?


    No!


    Youre good at listening to this kind of thing.


    Kang Tae-young looked at him with desperate eyes, and Ju Yong-jin sighed and nodded.


    ***


    A few days ago, the filming of Spring Has Returned was over.


    Seo-jun had enjoyed every day, watching the modern part of the filming on weekdays and filming the past part on weekends.


    He felt empty after the filming ended.


    I want to film more-


    Then should I bring you some new offers next week?


    Seo-jun shook his head at An Da-hos question.


    Hmm. No. After the fan meeting. I have midterms in May.


    He spoke with a regretful voice, holding a script in his hand.


    It was not a new work, but a script for the play Mirror.


    But you already memorized all the lines for Mirror, didnt you?


    Well, yes, but Every time I do a play, it feels different. What if I make a mistake by going on stage without looking at the script?


    Seo-jun smiled brightly.


    I want to show my best side to my fans.


    He wanted to show his fans the most amazing play.


    Oh, I made plans to practice with my friends after the midterms. Until the fan meeting.


    An Da-ho nodded at Seo-juns words.


    Okay. Where? Where are you going to practice?


    Can we use the companys practice room?


    Of course. Ill let the staff know.


    Seo-jun quickly sent a message to his friends.


    They seemed excited by the thought of seeing Brown Black, White, and Red Crown at Cocoa Entertainment.


    Whos at the company?


    Seo-jun rolled his eyes.


    The Brown Black guys were on a break and didnt come to the company.


    The White guys were doing individual activities and hardly came to the company.


    The Red Crown girls were on a world tour and not even in Korea.


    <It seems like theres no one there?


    Yang Ju-hee: You said it was market day


    Park Si-young: Im a Red Crown fan so I knew


    As he exchanged messages with his friends, An Da-ho looked at his watch and said.


    By the way, its almost time for ticketing to start.


    Really?


    Yeah. At 5 oclock sharp. I hope the site doesnt crash


    And at 5 oclock.


    The ticket sales site for actor Lee Seo-juns fan meeting opened.


    Fortunately, thanks to the solid preparation of the sales company, the site did not crash.


    It just sold out as soon as it opened.


    Its sold out already?


    Thats what they say.


    It hadnt been long since he looked at his watch and thought it was 5 oclock when he heard the news from Cocoa Entertainment. Seo-jun was surprised.


    Yang Ju-hee: Wow. Its sold out. Theres an article too.


    Kang Jae-han: Wow So many people are going to see our play?


    Park Si-young: We have to practice hard


    Then a new message notification popped up on his phone screen.


    Seo-jun opened the message full of tears from Kang Tae-young.


    Kang Tae-young: I got a ticket


    =22 I think so too. Im also working at a company while remembering my trip.


    =Im watching dramas


    -Doesnt Kim Seo-yeon seem to be finding her original personality?


    =22 If you look at the past part, Kim Seo-yeon used to be a very bright kid, but her personality changed because she got worn out by society.


    =Me too. I wasnt like this before


    =Me too. I had a different personality when I went to school


    Spring Has Returned episode 5 ratings 28%!


    Cheers erupted from MBS drama department as they watched the real-time ratings trend.


    We should have extended it to 24 episodes!


    Kim Jin-myung CP and Gong Hee-chan PD laughed at the regretful words of the department head.


    Then we wouldnt have gotten these ratings now.


    The drama is fun too, but I think the issue is Lee Seo-jun.


    The department head nodded his head with a regretful face, remembering Park Kyu-min PDs work.


    Hows the preparation for Spring Has Returned Special?


    There are so many good scenes that Im having trouble deciding what to cut out.


    The department head thought for a moment after hearing Gong Hee-chan PDs words and said.


    Then why dont we extend it and broadcast it in two parts? I think we can put a lot of ads in it.


    Its not that much footage.


    Oh, really?


    Kim Jin-myung CP and Gong Hee-chan PD awkwardly smiled at the department heads sincere regret.


    ***


    Monday 10 p.m. of the sixth week.


    [Spring Has Returned Special] was broadcasted.


    The viewers were amazed by Lee Seo-juns appearance at the script reading.


    <Yes. I watched the previous works of Do-hoon hyung and Tae-young hyung, but it was hard because the characters were different. So I was observing while reading the script. Um. I guess it showed on my face without me knowing.>


    He didnt know because he was concentrating and observing.


    He smiled shyly as if he was embarrassed.


    Everyone blinked their eyes at him.


    -Hes so cute when he mimics the expressions!


    -Hes so cute when he smiles but he casually tells such amazing stories.


    <Well, to put it simply, its like impersonation or voice imitation.>


    <Impersonation or voice imitation also analyze and practice the songs and catchphrases of some characters, right? Things like vocalization, voice, timing, and intensity control when singing. And the really good ones, you cant tell who they are even if you cover their faces.>


    <It was different from Do-hoon hyungs Lee Hyun-sung itself that I had to act, since it was Lee Hyun-sungs childhood.>


    <No. I can do Choi Yoo-won too, but Im still studying I still need more practice for Lee Hyun-sung except for this line.>


    -This is why Lee Seo-jun is Lee Seo-jun. He can do it when he practices.


    -Is this the secret of acting? I want to follow him but I cant.


    -Hes just a child actor, but he works so hard to this extent.


    -Is this the same as voice imitation and impersonation?


    = Its like that in simple terms.


    -But dont we distinguish the singers by their singing styles because they are famous and we hear them often? Lee Hyun-sung and Choi Yoo-won are not that stuck in our heads.


    =Thats why Lee Seo-jun is amazing. He does something impossible


    =As expected of Lee Seo-jun!


    Next, the shooting scene came out.


    The shooting site for the past part.


    Even though it was just looking at them, the viewers were delighted by Lee Seo-jun and Jo Bo-rams shooting that was going on around them with a huge camera, dazzling lights, a microphone for recording, and countless staff members standing around.


    -They shoot in such a place. Do they concentrate?


    -I always think that actors who act in such situations are amazing.


    <Cut, okay!>


    As soon as PD Gong Hee-chans words ended, the pink light faded away and the viewers rubbed their eyes and exclaimed. The scene where they were flirting just before was like a mirage.


    -Is this business!


    - The difference between on and off is like this


    =Theyre friends but they have no feelings for each other


    =Theyre friends from the same class


    -I knew Lee Seo-jun had a difference between on and off, but Jo Bo-ram is good too.


    Next was the shooting site for the present part.


    Even though it wasnt the past part, the viewers tilted their heads at Lee Seo-jun and Jo Bo-rams appearance on camera.


    As if to answer their questions, Park Do-hoon spoke to the camera.


    <Both actors come to watch every shooting to act similar to their adult roles. They are studying to act better for their roles.>


    The camera showed Lee Seo-jun and Jo Bo-ram sitting on chairs and watching Kang Tae-young and Yoon Hye-ins shooting.


    They were young actors with traces of youth left, but their eyes were as mature as adults.


    <Who would study this much to act a child role with little footage without making the viewers feel out of place? Their acting skills are great, but their efforts are amazing too.>


    The viewers nodded their heads and admired Park Do-hoons proud voice.
