The dinner party was held in the private room of a hotel restaurant where director Ryan Will was staying at.
Evan Block and Rachel Hill were staying at the same hotel and arrived first. Seojun and Lee Min-Joon, staying at a hotel a few blocks away, arrived a few minutes later.
âHello! Iâm Seojun Lee!â
âHi, Seojun Lee. Iâm Rachel Hill.â
âPlease call me Jun!â
âThen, call me Rachel.â
Seojun shook Rachel Hillâs hand happily and took Evan Blockâs hand next.
âHi, youâre Seojun Lee, arenât you? My name is Evan Block. Call me Evan.â
âYes, Evan! I look forward to your kind cooperation! Please call me Jun!â
Ryan Will introduced Lee Min-Joon, who was next to Seojun.
âNice to meet you. Iâm Evan Block, playing Shadowman and Mac.â
âHello, Iâm Rachel Hill. I will be Junâs sister for a while.â
âNice to meet you. I look forward to your kind cooperation.â
Evan smiled merrily and shook his head.
âI think Iâm the one who should be nice to you. I saw a movie where you acted, and it was no joke. Iâd get buried of your talent.â
Evan Bullock had watched the evil spirit to the point he crumpled the cup of soda in his hand out of tension. It was a relief that he drank it all before doing so, or It would have been spilled all around him.
Seojun tilted his head.
ââŠShadowman?â
âNo, ì ë č (aryong). Hmm. Is this how you pronounce it? The Devil is the title in English, but I prefer the original title to the translated title.â
Evan Block winked one eye and lowered himself. Seojunâs head became comfortable because he didnât have to look up anymore.
Seojun smiled brightly. He was happy and grateful that someone watched âThe Devil.â
âYes, itâs perfect.â
âYes, thank you. What did you think when you acted? Do you tend to make a thorough plan and postpone it? Or do you act with your gut feeling? I heard that sitting and waking up during Williamâs scene was your idea. Is it true?â
âUhâŠâŠ.â
Here comes Evan, the âActingAnalystt.â He poured out all questions he was thinking of while analyzing Seojunâs acting. Seojun stared blankly at Evan Blockâs face. Rachel Hill covered her face with her hands, and Ryan Will just smiled.
Lee Min-Joon, who was listening to the conversation between the two, could only recall a rumor about Evan Block floating on the Internet.
Acting Analyst.
Evan Blockâs performance consisted of detailed character analysis and thorough planning. He even planned and acted on hand tremors and facial muscles.
Even the directors and actors who filmed with him were impressed by his planning. It was a nickname that was given to him like that.
âOkay, letâs eat first. Iâm hungry! Oh, you two, too. Does Junâs leg hurt, too? Sit down.â
Rachel Hill pushed Evan Block in the back. Evan Block, who didnât get to hear the answer until the end, shrugged and sat down.
When everyone sat down, Rachel sighed relief when she saw Ryan calling for a waiter and smiled at Seojun.
âJun, you look taller than in the movie.â
Seojun, who was sitting on the chair, straightened his back, smiled, and said proudly.
âI grew 10 centimeters in a year!â
It was all thanks to the Slimeâs ability to digest. It was a very precious ability that let him send a lot of nutrients to every corner of his body promptly.
He was also the tallest in kindergarten. Wouldnât he still be the biggest in his class even after he enters elementary school next year? All the family members were talking about it.
The waiter in charge brought the food he ordered in advance.
The waiter opened the private room door he was in charge of every day without thinking much, but today his eyes shook greatly.
The waiter was a Marine Fan. Even after seeing his idols, he put on a professional, expressionless face.
Oh! Oh! Let him be amazed inside.
âOh, Evan Block! Heâs very tall! The child beside him if heâs Asian⊠Seojun Lee! Besides, Rachel Hill and Ryan Will! This should be Shadowman 2..âŠ!â
He wanted to take out the camera right away. However, he endured it and closed the door of the private room after finishing everything.
âCan I get their autograph after the meal?â
After having their fill, the five began their conversation. Evan Block opened his mouth first.
âWhat do you think of William?â
â?â
Seojun, who was chewing steak, tilted his head. He quickly chewed the meat in his mouth and answered.
âPoor thing?â
âHowever, you donât want to like William, are you?â
In the end, Ryan and Rachelâs eyes turned towards Seojun.
âWhatâs wrong with that? William is the character I am acting for in the movie, and Iâm Lee Seojun.â
Seojun shook his head.
âNo, not at all. Iâm Lee Seojun.â
âLook, itâs special.â
Evan laughed whether he liked the answer. Rachel shook her head. When Lee Min-Joon tilted his head, Rachel explained.
âI see. Immersed actingâŠâŠ.â
Lee Min-Joon doesnât know how to act, but he knew one or two when it comes to immersed acting.
Although it was a frequent acting method by actors who were good at acting, there were often episodes that actors were so immersed in the role that they were confused with reality.
âJunâs performance is completely different from the Immersed Acting, you know.â
Evan Block nodded in agreement. Ryan Will went on.
âJun can get out of the role perfectly. Itâs completely different from Immersed acting, which has a drawback to the emotions and thoughts of the actor. If he really did method acting, he would have lost himself and stayed as William for a while.â
Who would have expected that little boy to act like that? Even Seojun himself never thought he would fall that far.
At that time, if Seojun hadnât gotten out of the role, Ryan Will would have told his childâs guardian not to act on the spot.
But Seojun Lee was different. He patted himself on the back, saying he did a good job and smiled broadly with joy at his self-compliment.
âBut he came back to Jun as if I hadnât been another character.â
When he saw Seojun, who was only five years old, Ryan Will got goosebumps performing such a wonderful performance and smiling brightly.
âJunâs acting is similar to Immersed acting, but not the immersed acting itself. I knew for sure during the long eight months of practice. Jun will be the only actor who can get out of a role easily.â
Ryan Will took a sip of wine.
Although he didnât see much, Seojun was different from other actors.
So during an eight-month practice session, Ryan kept his toes up. It was to stop when there was anything wrong with the acting with the first villain.
However, contrary to Ryanâs concerns, Seojun was the same as usual. He looked nice. He didnât give up, and he finally did it perfectly.
Rachel Hill, who was listening to the story, asked Seojun.
âWhat do you think, Jun?â
âWell.â
Seojun thought hard. Everyone kept their mouth shut and focused on Seojunâs mouth. Seojun looked left and right before opening his mouth.
Evan unfolded the Notebook he had brought. Rachel Hill, who looked disgusted at the sight of Evan, moved her chair a little to the side.
âImmersed acting affects reality, and thatâs why youâre worried. Will my role affect reality? I was like, âI donât want to.'â
âThatâs right.â
âBut I was normal when I did William, I was fine when I was a demon, and I was still me when I played a child who blamed the world for eight months.â
He definitely gets into character when he is filming. What kind of actor doesnât get into character?
However, after filming, Lee Seojun still likes monster dolls. Look at the slime doll on the bag. He was still himself.
âSo itâs not Immersed acting. Iâm just good at acting.â
Seojun said proudly. Everyone laughed at his answer.
âThen how do you act?â asked Evan Block. Seojun thought for a while and replied.
âHmm, I think about a character like myself. I think his past to be mine, and what would he become now if he had passed like that. There are times when I think of something better during the start of the filming. My body moves naturally. Thatâs what I did when I was William.â
âItâs definitely similar to Immersed acting.â
âBut I can get out of the role perfectly..â
MaybeâŠ
Seojun thought.
Isnât Immersed acting the ability of his body?
Like a skill that he can use in the next life, like the abilities of other lives.
And wouldnât âspiritâ be different from ordinary method acting, which is hard to get out of the role because he has a library of life?
The talent for ordinary method acting with a special set of skills.
âIf I could make this ability into a bead, it would pop up like this.â
[(Good or bad?) Lee Seojunâs special immersed acting]
When filming, it gives him a sense of immersion as if he is in a real role.
Also, he can completely get out of the role with his own will.
What would the rating be like? Seojun, who was laughing inside, asked Evan Block.
âHow do you act, Evan?â
âI study the character, plan and analyze. For example, Mac is an orphan. Iâm an orphan, but there are many good people around me. Why are there so many? Isnât it because of his bright and cheerful personality? Then, I analyze Macâs behavior one by one and think about the direction of his eyes and the location of his feet. If I know someone who has a similar personality to Mac, I observe them. There are times when even a small habit helps with filming. So my friends hate me when I get a movie script. This is how I act confidently in the movies that I appear in.â
âThatâs great.â
Seojunâs eyes sparkled at Evanâs words. Thatâs how he can act like that.
The two actors talked hard about their way of acting. Rachel Hill also stepped in between.
âEvan Block would be more dangerous if it was Immersed act. After such thorough preparation, there will be a time when he feels inadequate. To fill the shortfall, and it will eventually affect reality.â
âI see.â
âIt would be convenient to think that Jun is an actor with a natural talent for acting. Heâs a smart kid. He is not going to do anything that would harm him.â
âNo matter how smart a child is, parents are bound to worry.â
Lee Min-Joon laughed as he saw his son talking with the two actors excitedly.
