I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 132
I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 132
( Departure (6) )
People sometimes look back on themselves. In general, they say similar things. ‘Wow – how did I do this?’ Such as. Kang Woo-jin also felt that a lot during his life. The days when I worked overtime at a design company like eating.
And one was just added to Woojin.
‘Is what I just said correct Japanese sign language? Right? He must be right because he understood. But how?’
It was Japanese sign language. Up until just moments ago, my body and facial expressions had moved without much thought. But the question from that young man who must have been a few years older. As soon as he saw the question, ‘How do you know how to speak Japanese sign language?’, doubts poured into Kang Woo-jin’s mind.
‘…I know. I don’t even know why it happened?? Do you know?’
The young man who used Japanese sign language had no way of knowing what he didn’t even know. Anyway, many thoughts went back and forth in Woojin’s head in a very short period of time.
He also knew that sign language was different in each country.
No, I didn’t know, but it was accurate that I found out. After learning sign language through subspace, I searched for it. I learned the unfamiliar and difficult language right away, but I needed to know the basic information. That way, you will be able to use it in the right place.
Woojin nodded after checking the information.
If you think about it, many countries all have different languages, so it didn’t make sense for them to have the same sign language based on those languages. In that way, Kang Woo-jin concluded that what he had learned was Korean sign language. However, Kang Woo-jin suddenly showed Japanese sign language in the studio of ‘Ametalk show!’
It was at the same level as Korean sign language, which was highly praised even by experts. Therefore, it is natural for Woojin to be embarrassed.
Next, Kang Woo-jin.
‘wait for a sec. First, calm down. Let’s check if it works again. ‘Is it a coincidence or not?’
It couldn’t have been a coincidence, but I needed to be sure. Soon, Woojin fixed his gaze on the young man in the audience whose eyes widened.
-Sigh.
I raised my hand. I attempted to use Japanese sign language while recalling the sensations of the previous moment as much as possible. But the word ‘attempt’ was meaningless. Kang Woo-jin began to use Japanese sign language without any problems. It was similar to the feeling my body remembered.
[“Am I using Japanese sign language correctly?”] As
Woojin gently threw out the sign language, the young man’s eyes grew wider. And then he also raised his hand.
[“yes. That’s correct. I think you’re better than me. I still make mistakes sometimes. Your current sign language skills are similar to my sign language teacher. No, do better!”]
[“Thank you. I also don’t know why Japanese sign language works.”
[“Yes??”]
[“No. “I’m kidding.”]
Proficient Japanese sign language. In fact, Kang Woo-jin was smoother than the younger man. At this point, Kang Woo-jin recognized it.
‘When the brain remembers Japanese, the body that remembers the sign language moves on its own. It feels like something is coming together.’
It was a process of coming up with Japanese sign language. Meanwhile, the spacious studio where the two men were exchanging sign language was quiet.
“……”
“……”
“……”
PD Shinjo, MC Soyo, Seonggeon Choi, the 200 audience members on this set, and dozens of staff members. Everyone just looked at Woojin and the young man in turns and kept their mouths shut. It was partly because of the unexpected shock, and partly because I was distracted by a sight I had never seen before.
Isn’t that right?
I don’t often see sign language in the first place, but I’m currently recording a talk show, and the person who speaks Japanese sign language at a high level is a new Korean actor who is not even Japanese. Why does that actor know how to speak Japanese sign language and not Korean sign language?
It was mind-blowing.
here.
“……iced coffee!”
The skinny PD Shinjo, who had been watching the two sign language in a daze, suddenly came to his senses. Then, he asked the sign language interpreter among the two interpreters standing next to him.
“The sign language Woojin is using right now is Japanese, right? “It’s not Korean.”
“Yes… it’s Japanese sign language. But didn’t you say that he was a Korean actor? To be honest, I was surprised that he spoke Japanese so well, but I couldn’t believe he could even speak sign language.”
“So do i.”
Producer Shinjo, who became a little more serious, raised his hand and shouted.
“I will stop recording for a moment!!”
I ran all over the stage. MC Soyo, holding a hand microphone, was still staring at Woojin, but PD Shinjo paid no attention to him and immediately asked Kang Woojin. Full of excitement.
“Mr. Woojin! Do you know how to speak Japanese sign language?? “You don’t just speak Japanese?”
Yes, I guess so. Woojin answered inwardly, but outwardly calmed his voice.
“yes. little. Korean sign language is also available.”
“…Even Korean sign language – well, maybe you prepared to work on sign language in the past.”
“No, not at all.”
“Now wait a minute. So, now we have sign language in both Korean and Japanese. “You can speak a total of four languages.”
To be precise, it includes English, but Woojin did not specifically bring up that part.
“That’s it. It’s not something to brag about.”
Producer Shinjo immediately started spitting out Japanese.
“what! You should be proud of it! That’s enough to brag about! Wow, what about Woojin…not only his language but also his acting. Honestly, isn’t it difficult if it’s not your second time in life? “Are you having a second life?”
“That can’t be right.”
Since the question was asked out of shock, PD Shinjo immediately agreed, but his heightened mood gradually calmed down and he began to face the current situation.
“Mr. Woojin. Do you have any plans to hide the Korean/Japanese sign language? “I mean, is it okay to go on broadcast?”
“I don’t mind going out. “There is no reason to hide it.”
Producer Shinjo soon changes into the look of a talk show director.
“All right. I’ll just figure it out on my own. Anyway, this is a good picture right now, right? There is also a twist. It can provide enough interest to viewers. “Look at Soyo, who looks like his eyes are popping out of his mouth.”
Kang Woo-jin turned his head to the right at the gesture. MC Soyo, full of surprise, gave a thumbs up in silence, and PD Shinjo took a step closer to Woojin and spoke again.
“The viewers will probably feel the same way. So, let’s add directing to it.”
“You mean directing?”
“yes.”
“which?”
“I need to think about that now. “It can make the scene just now look even better.”
“……”
Kang Woo-jin, who had been looking at PD Shinjo’s face with indifferent eyes for a moment, suddenly woke up.
“How about something like this?”
“yes?”
“Actually, it was a bit far away so I couldn’t see it very well.”
Next, Woojin began to walk calmly and without hesitation. To a place where an audience of about 200 people gathered. Thanks to this, everyone in the audience flinched or got upset. Either way, Woojin.
-Sigh.
I stood right in front of the audience and in front of the young man with whom I had been speaking sign language. Kang Woo-jin soon sends a sign language message to the young man.
[“I think it will look good if we talk here. Do you think it would be a burden?”]
The young man had a look of embarrassment on his face, but he shook his head frantically as if he was thankful. After hearing the answer, Woojin spoke in a low tone of Japanese to PD Shinjo behind him.
“You say it’s okay.”
PD Shinjo is.
“ah! Leaving the stage at all?? As soon as he sees the audience member’s question, he suddenly stands up, walks over to the audience, and answers! oh! “It’s unconventional.”
The winning bid was filled with smiles.
Two hours later.
A break was given during the recording of ‘Ametalk show!’ Kang Woo-jin gave fan service such as autographs to the audience members who participated.
– Sweet.
I entered the waiting room alone. It looks like Choi Seong-gun and Woojin’s team are still at the recording studio. What’s unusual is that as soon as Kang Woo-jin enters the waiting room, he picks up the backpack he always carries with him. What Woojin took out of his backpack was a scenario. The type didn’t matter.
-Poof!
Because it was not to see, but to enter sub-space. Soon, Woojin’s vision became dark. However, Kang Woo-jin did not move towards the floating white square he always checked.
just.
“Oh, Mr. Recording: It’s both relaxing and intense in the same way. Anyway, let’s see-”
I stood in place, crossed my arms, and gathered my thoughts. No, to be more precise, I recalled the words spoken by the robot-like woman when I learned ‘sign language’.
‘[“A new language other than the default language has been detected. ‘Learn sign language’ first.”]’
Now that I think about it, it was strange. Even though sign language is not a universal language, the woman with the robot voice only said ‘sign language’ without hesitation.
“But I just said ‘sign language’.”
To be clear, it should have been called ‘Korean sign language’ or ‘Japanese sign language’. There are too many of them to be lumped together as sign languages. A space with ultra-level abilities could not have made such a mistake.
in other words.
“There was something I didn’t know about.”
In fact, Kang Woo-jin gave some answers throughout the recording. Now, we have entered subspace just for experimentation. First of all, Korean and Japanese sign language becomes softer. Both feel the same. All you had to do was think of the language in your head and tell your body to use it as sign language.
but.
“Not the whole world.”
It wasn’t all-powerful either. For example France. Even though I tried to think of French and use sign language, my body had no response. The reason was simple.
“Because I don’t know French.”
Here, Woojin took a small breath.
“If you do this…”
I thought of the English I had already mastered at a local level and conveyed the command with my whole body. I will use American sign language. Two hands slowly raised. and.
-Sigh.
American sign language that comes out in a continuous line without interruption.
‘do.’
At that moment, a smile spread across Kang Woo-jin’s lips.
“Okay, I know what it is.”
Because I figured out why I can speak Japanese and American sign languages, excluding Korean sign languages.
“So sign language is like a passive thing that any country can have as long as the conditions are met.”
The conditions were very simple.
‘The language of the country.’
It was the language of each country. Korean Japanese English. Currently, Kang Woo-jin is the language that can be used, and sign language also comes out smoothly in these three countries. However, it is impossible to become a country without mastering the language.
in short.
“This means that as I increase my language skills, sign language follows as a bonus, right? Wow- Mr. “Aspace really has real power.”
Instead of the current three languages, Kang Woo-jin had acquired a total of six languages, including sign language. That’s why Woojin thought that the woman with the robot voice was a combined expression of ‘sign language’.
“From now on, if I learn just one language, it will definitely be 1+1, right?”
Subspace’s abilities were truly extraordinary. No, isn’t it? Is it possible for a person to master six languages in one lifetime? It was usually difficult to learn anything other than the basic language.
About this way.
“Okay, leave now.”
Kang Woo-jin coolly chanted ‘Exit’. His field of vision immediately changed from subspace to the waiting room, and Woojin, who was sitting in a waiting chair nearby, raised the corner of his mouth.
“Six languages-”
Because I was looking forward to the future. Well, I may not use sign language often, but it was sure to come in handy someday. Luck can be captured more clearly when you have skill.
‘It will definitely be useful like Korean sign language. ‘Whether it’s Japanese sign language or American sign language.’
Woojin was sure. Sign language is as unique as it is unfamiliar, and thanks to its preciousness, there will come a day when we will seize the opportunity lurking somewhere.
This moment.
-Rat!
The closed waiting room door opened. Soon, Kang Woo-jin wiped away his smile and wore an expression of indifference on his face. The one who appeared was Choi Seong-geon with pigtails. He and Woojin exchanged wordless eye contact for a while.
“……”
“……”
It was Choi Seong-geon, who smiled, who opened the water first.
“What are you looking at, dude? I wonder if he was shocked when he saw your Japanese sign language? The day I spent with you wasn’t even One Day Today. “I’ve decided to just accept anything.”
“…Is that so?”
“uh. I thought that if I startled each and every one of them, my heart might stop first. Of course I don’t understand. What is this? I want to. But let me ask you one question.”
“yes.”
“You’re human, right?”
“……CEO.”
“No, no, please answer honestly. Right?”
“Of course it is.”
Choi Seong-geon scratched his head, probably thinking he was an idiot for asking the question.
“Then that’s it. If you force yourself to swallow something you can’t digest, you’ll only get sick and you’re where you are because of your past. I’ll put it on show like that. Come on dude. “I will accept anything.”
Woojin also made a solemn joke in response to the joke.
“yes. Then feel free.”
“Ahh- But you still have to give it time! What about Tetris? There is such a thing as block down time. Repeated hitting is not allowed. Oh, I also told the team, including Yeo Yeon and Su-hwan, to just assume that’s the way it is.”
“Oh, thank you.”
“Okay, let’s go quickly. “I heard the second recording is starting.”
When Woojin nodded and came out into the hallway, Seonggeon Choi recalled the recording that took place earlier and spoke.
“Well, the audience that came today was like that. You know that friend. “The little boy who spoke sign language with you.”
“yes.”
“You seem to be quite a fan. I think it’s been a while since I’ve seen someone like me so much after receiving an autograph. “That expression is priceless.”
It certainly was. The young man even cried a little. But if you think about it, Woojin was completely understandable. Because it resembles myself, struggling alone amidst concepts and illusions.
“What are the chances of having a sign language conversation with an actor I like or am interested in?”
“……but. Also, I am not a Japanese actor, but a Korean actor. No, apart from actors, there probably haven’t been many opportunities in life to communicate using sign language itself. “He’s young too.”
“Unintentional isolation is harder than you think.”
Really. Choi Seong-geon, who was nodding slowly, put his arm around the expressionless Woojin’s shoulder.
“Yes, for that child, today must have been a day he will remember for the rest of his life.”
The next day is the 30th. morning. ‘Toega’ Film Company.
‘Toega’ Film Company, which is in charge of producing ‘The Strange Sacrifice’. Such a large conference room at a film company. I saw Kang Woo-jin sitting at the L-shaped desk. Of course, Choi Seong-gun too.
On the other side of the two.
“I’m sorry for suddenly changing the schedule. Something unexpected happened.”
Director Kyotaro, full of gray hair, was there. In addition, film company employees were also present. About five or six people. It was the last part of Woojin’s Japan schedule to meet Director Kyotaro. There was a lot to talk about today. Pre-schedule of the work, coordination of filming period, promotion related, etc.
But for some reason, Director Kyotaro’s expression is a bit dark. At least Kang Woo-jin felt that way.
‘Has something bad happened? It feels a bit dark.’
Director Kyotaro smiled and spoke Japanese.
“I heard about ‘Boyfriend’ and YouTube. congratulation. “I feel good because it feels like I’m finally seeing the light of day after being obscure for such a long time.”
Since it was a common mistake, Woojin answered casually.
“Thank you, Director. “By the way, is there something going on?”
Director Kyotaro sighed slightly in response to the question and opened his mouth again.
“…The original plan was to have a script reading in October at the latest, but there was a bit of a setback.”
“A setback?”
“Well, maybe the reading will be pushed back to early next year. “About half a year.”
Early next year? suddenly? It’s too late than you think. Not even filming, but script reading. Is there a reason? As Woojin stared at Director Kyotaro, Director Kyotaro, who was scratching his gray hair, muttered softly.
“There is a movement to withdraw about half of the total investment. “It seems that 30% has already been lost.”
Is your investment money lost? ‘The Strange Sacrifice of a Stranger’ was a large-scale movie, so the investment amount would have been very large. So is this movie going to fall apart? I don’t know the details yet, but it wasn’t that difficult for Woojin to come up with an answer to this situation.
Kang Woo-jin spit out the answer lowly.
“Does the reason have anything to do with me?”
The smile disappeared from Director Kyotaro’s expression.
“No. “It’s just rotten idiots who are afraid of change.”
Meanwhile, a luxurious house in Tokyo.
It was a very large house that would make you gasp at first glance. The spacious yard was natural, and the house itself was quite large. Wouldn’t it be no problem if 100 people lived in this big house?
The interior of such a house was even more amazing.
The ceilings were endlessly high, and all the furniture provided was extremely expensive. There are well over five employees who work from home. Among them, a male employee who was cleaning the house knocked on the closed door.
-smart.
Then, I hear some harsh Japanese coming from inside. Old man’s voice.
“Come in.”
After hearing the answer, the male employee opened the door. It was a study. The large space is filled with books. There was an old man sitting in the center. It was a man who resembled a lion with white fur, even with white fur on his eyebrows.
Then the male employee bowed to him.
“How should I clean the study, Chairman?”
The old man called the chairman closed the book he was reading and shook his head.
“That’s enough here, let’s start somewhere else.”
“All right.”
At this time.
-Tadat!
Someone ran in behind the male employee. It was a young boy who could have been 14 years old. The child was immediately attached to an old man in the study called the Chairman.
-Sigh.
Suddenly I raised my hands. It was Japanese sign language.
[“Grandpa, something big happened yesterday!”]
The chairman was quite embarrassed and thrilled by the child’s appearance.
‘Did you laugh? ‘The guy who always had an emotionless, deathly expression on his face?’
What on earth is going on? The chairman tried to hide his surprise and immediately smiled brightly. It was a laugh filled with extreme emotion. The chairman then patted the child’s head and he also raised both hands. It was sign language.
[“okay. Let’s listen. What happened?”]
[“Did I tell you that I won a talk show audience?” I’ve been there! The actor spoke Japanese sign language really, really well!”]
[“That actor is a Korean actor, right? By the way, do you know how to speak Japanese sign language? The name is probably- I’m sorry, what did you say your name was?”]
The child said, ‘Ametalk show!’ One of the audience members was a young man who spoke with Kang Woo-jin in Japanese sign language.
[“Kang Woo-jin! It was amazing that such a brilliant actor also knew how to use sign language, and I was very happy to have a conversation using sign language!”] He
was the only grandson of an old man called the chairman. Soon, the chairman was staring blankly at the smiling face of his grandson, who had been with him for almost 10 years.
‘Do you speak sign language? Yes, that’s right. That Korean actor seems to have the same situation as me. Otherwise, there is no reason to learn sign language.’
For some reason, I started deluding myself.
