89 – Theater Festival (5)

After the preliminaries of the Korea Youth Theater Festival were over, the Korean Theater Association began selecting teams to advance to the finals.

The selection criteria are 3 teams from each region in order of highest score.

Only 16 teams from the metropolitan area, Gangwon, Chungcheong, Yeongnam, Honam, and Jeju can advance to the finals.

In fact, from the association’s point of view, selecting three teams for each region was considered a fairly large selection.

The finals are judged by 2 teams per day. In other words, it takes a long time of 8 days to see all 16 teams including 1 team selected in Jeju.

Even from the year before last, due to the influence of a certain writer, the level of students has risen rapidly, and the number of participating teams has also doubled.

Especially, as always, the competition for the preliminary rounds in the metropolitan area was the fiercest and the level was high.

In a way, it was only natural that the most teams participated and famous schools were lined up. And last year, when Kang Ye-rin slowly began to stand out, this phenomenon was the most severe.

However, this year was a little different.

This is because, as a result of the preliminaries, 3 teams were selected in the cleanest and fastest way in all regions.

About this ironic and awkward phenomenon, Jo Wan-ho, the current president of the Korean Theater Association, wanted to have a conversation with the executive in charge of the metropolitan area screening.

“Song Ha-yul. As long as she is the chairman of Hanbit Arts High School, there will always be a lot of gemstones there. The representative of the metropolitan area is saying that it is not strange at all that two teams came out of that school.”

“President… ….”

“However, there is one thing I am curious about. Do you think the students’ performances were so perfect? Enough to give a perfect score for the first time in the history of the competition?”

“…… Yes. If you get a perfect score, I think even that was cheap.”

In response to Chairman Cho’s question, the executive spoke confidently.

He still couldn’t forget the stage that day in his mind.

I couldn’t believe it was over even though the play was all over, and I didn’t want to believe it.

Also, whenever I tried to score somehow, my hands stopped.

Is the stage you saw just now a student-level stage? I don’t know if I dare to evaluate that stage myself…….

The only thing that was certain was that I wanted to see that stage again.

“So, can I watch the final screening?”

“Huh, I guess I was possessed properly… ….”

Chairman Cho let out a laugh and remembered who belonged to the team that received a perfect score.

Hajun Park, Soyoung Seol.

Chairman Cho knows all too well what kind of performances those small actors and 927 writers have shown in just a few years, and what level of talent they have because he has seen countless actors throughout their lives.

However, the Daehan Youth Theater Festival does not guarantee that you can get a perfect score just because you are good at acting.

The screenplay, the direction, and the performances of the actors.

You can only get a score that is close to perfect only when these three things are harmonized.

So Chairman Cho suddenly had this question.

“How good was the scenario and directing of student Kang Ye-rin?”

“As the president noticed, it seems that the outstanding student was right. I probably would have received the grand prize if there had been no exceptions.”

“An exception… …. If so, Seo Eun-woo, how much do you think the scenario and directing that student showed?”

“… ….”

For the first time, the executives were silent at Chairman Cho’s words.

For some reason, Chairman Cho smiled as he saw the executive who was worried with a serious face.

I see…….

“Looking at your reaction, it seems that the child is the lumber that will succeed the 927 author.”

“It may be a hasty judgment yet, but I think so. And unexpectedly, it was student Lee Da-hye who played the main character this time.”

At the words of the executive, Chairman Cho gave an interesting smile.

Dahye Lee.

She was also a famous student as an idol in her own way.

In addition, Chairman Cho has seen the drama Fly High, so he has a rough idea of the level of acting skills of student Lee Da-hye.

What is clear is that, in terms of acting talent, she is definitely inferior to Soyoung Seol.

What…….

It was unavoidable, and it was natural.

Seol So-young.

The girl’s talent is that she is a monster among all the performers she has ever seen.

That’s why I became more interested.

Why did you choose Lee Da-hye, a student named Lee Da-hye, as the main character?

“It would be okay to go to the finals after a long time.”

“Seo, are you planning to see the final round?”

“What are you so surprised about? She is the president of the place where the competition was held, but I don’t think it matters at all.”

Of course this is true, but at best it is a youth competition.

It also meant that Cho Wan-ho, the president of the Korea Theater Association, did not have to show his face, as the scale itself was relatively different from other major tournaments.

In fact, even if it was not the ‘exception’ that occurred this time, Chairman Cho was willing to show his face if Ha-Jun Park and So-Young Seol had made it to the finals.

Kang Ye-rin is also Kang Ye-rin, but Seol So-young and Park Ha-joon.

Because the acting unfolding in front of their eyes will surely make the viewer smile and make the heart flutter.

“That’s why it might be good to increase the board even more.”

“…… You mean the plate?”

“Yes. Coincidentally, several broadcasting stations contacted me after seeing the list of students participating in the finals of this competition.”

***

“Fortunately, our club went up to the finals. But suddenly live broadcasting was added to the stage method of the finals?”

“Yes, yes. You are good at summarizing it in one line.”

“And the senior agreed very positively about the broadcast?”

“Right. Are you excited to imagine our play being aired on TV?”

Park Ha-joon, who delivered all the news that had happened so far, smiled brightly as he looked at me and his members.

Of course, I couldn’t help but feel the throbbing pain in my temples as I watched them.

I heard that the live broadcasting was added suddenly, so the consent of the representatives of each team that came up to the finals was required, but Park Ha-joon accepted this very readily.

Of course, the same was true for other team representatives.

Yes. In a way, this was a reasonable decision.

What is the biggest reason for students to participate in the Korea Youth Theater Festival in the first place?

Notifying the industry officials of the additional specifications and their existence when they received the award right away.

In that sense, it must have been a very unconventional proposal to have a live broadcast that is exposed to the public, and even aired on terrestrial channels.

Then, at best, it is necessary to think about how the broadcasting station got involved in the youth theater competition and why.

Of course, there is nothing to think too far.

It’s probably because of the celebrities in our club.

At that time, Park Ha-joon, one of the indirect causes of this situation, looked at me rather proudly and opened his mouth.

“Maybe we have already reached our goal.”

“…… A goal?”

“Did you forget? The original purpose of our club is to create works that will warm the heart of the 927 artist. If Dreaming Children airs live this time, our will might reach him, right?”

Ah… Yes.

I’m at a loss for words.

Even though we’re right next to it, we still don’t know what ‘our will’ is, but it’s sure to be conveyed through live broadcasting.

But what…….

‘How did I make it to the finals?’

There are about four days left until the finals start with participation.

Even that, the schedule for the finals was long, so I heard that our performance is this Sunday, a little later than that.

“But as far as I know, the finals of the Korea Youth Theater Festival are held in Gyeongju. What are you going to do about that?”

At that time, Garam Song made a sharp point toward Park Ha-joon.

Two teams per day. The scheduled time for the first performance is 6:30pm, and the next team’s scheduled time is 8pm.

In other words, if the second team cleans up after the performance, it means at least 10pm.

Obviously, getting to Gyeongju isn’t that much of a problem, but the problem comes when it comes.

To be honest, 10 p.M. Is too late for anyone to move.

“The association said they provided transportation, food, and even a hotel for the night. They said that they would get heavy props like desks and chairs if possible.”

Providing transportation, meals, and hotels.

I think it’s a reasonable offer because the association set a late schedule, perhaps because of the audience’s problems.

But wait a minute.

A hotel?

“Yes. Everyone seems to be thinking the same thing right now, so I’ll ask right away. Is there anyone who doesn’t like 2 days and 1 night on Sundays?”

At Ha-joon Park’s question, Boo-sil had no choice but to fall into silence for a while.

And…….

“Senior Yeojin. Can we talk for a minute?”

“Ugh, huh? Uh, what’s going on? Soyoung?”

This is the story of the day before the theater performance of the theater and film department at Hanbit Arts High School, the dreaming children were known to the world.
