I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 136
(Back ship (4))
Why is it suddenly S+ level? Kang Woo-jin was a little dazed as he looked at the white square of the ‘unfamiliar parasite’. That’s roughly 5 seconds. Suddenly, Kang Woo-jin blinks his eyes.
-Sigh.
He raised his hand and pretended to hit the white square. It was a bit like that. If something breaks, you roughly hit it and look at it. But of course, no sound could be heard from the white square.
“……what? Is this right?? “Isn’t there an error?”
Embarrassment and absurdity gradually spread in Kang Woo-jin’s eyes. No wonder the grade of ‘unfamiliar parasite’ dropped all the way down to C.
“The situation has become more shitty, but it has risen to S+?”
On the contrary, it rose explosively. It felt strange enough. In response, Woojin narrowed his eyebrows and shouted into the dark subspace.
“hey! Isn’t this strange?! Is this really true?”
It was a conversation addressed to a woman with a robotic voice. But as always, no answer was heard in the vast sub-space. Sir, will it be okay if I just give you an answer? Kang Woo-jin grumbled slightly and rubbed his chin.
‘When there is a problem with investment funds, if you drop C and it is revealed to the world, it is true that the situation will get worse. But it’s S+ grade.’
As of now, S+ grade was the highest grade in subspace. For reference, Hanryang was at S level and ‘The Island of the Missing’ was at S+ level. This is his third appearance. However, ‘Unfamiliar Gisaeng’ was a completely different move from Hanryang and the Island of Disappearance.
‘No matter how you look at it, this is the fifth wheel.’
But on the other hand, I wondered if this extraordinary sub-space might make an error. Soon, Kang Woo-jin just in case.
“Exit.”
After leaving the subspace, I tried to enter again. However, the level of ‘unfamiliar parasitic’ displayed by the white square was the same. Still S+ grade. Here, Woojin scratched his head.
“What’s going on?”
I don’t know. The more Kang Woo-jin thought about it, the more he felt like he was dipping his feet in mud. Maybe that’s why.
“Ha-san, you’ll understand if you just leave it alone. “There’s nothing I can do right now.”
I stopped answering. I decided to simply accept things as they are. If there’s something wrong, it’ll change tomorrow or something. As he was making light of his worries, he also subconsciously thought about this.
There might be something going on somewhere that I don’t know about.
No matter how you look at it, the possibility of Subspace making an error was low. Well, if it doesn’t change like this and it’s S+ level, it’s just ‘shit’. It doesn’t help but feel a little uncomfortable.
“Exit.”
Kang Woo-jin escaped from subspace and returned to the van in reality. Then he let out a small sigh and muttered to himself.
“I’ll see you again tomorrow for the grades. But it’s best not to change.”
Currently, he had no way of knowing that a huge ship was moving not in Korea but in Japan, a country other than Korea.
It was at this time.
-Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
His cell phone next to him let out a long vibration. Thanks to this, Woojin turned his head and saw the caller. The caller pictured on the cell phone screen is.
“Director Kyotaro?”
It was Director Kyotaro, who would be in Japan. Woojin was sure that the call was due to the worsening situation of the ‘unfamiliar parasite’.
Anyway, I had to answer the phone.
-Sigh.
Kang Woo-jin steadied his voice and put the cell phone to his ear.
“Yes, director.”
Meanwhile, Japan’s ‘Toega’ film company.
Director Kyotaro, full of gray hair, is seen in the conference room of the film company in charge of producing ‘The Stranger.’ There was a faint smile on his face, but his overall facial expression was full of worry. He had just called Kang Woo-jin.
“Mr. Woojin.”
I could hear the low voice of Kang Woo-jin in Korea through the cell phone.
“Say yes, Director.”
It’s hard to judge. Director Kyotaro tried to understand Kang Woo-jin’s mood from his voice, but failed. Director Kyotaro let out a light breath and slowly opened his mouth into his cell phone.
“…Mr. Woojin. “The current ‘unfamiliar gisaeng’ in Japan.”
“yes. I heard what you said, director. “The investor problem you mentioned earlier has exploded in a big way.”
Kang Woo-jin, who answered instead, was followed by Director Kyotaro’s bitter explanation.
“That’s right, the situation is not as good as I thought. “It is mainly featured on the front page of large media outlets…and small and medium-sized media outlets are also quickly copying it.”
“Have you checked where the story leaked?”
“well. It is difficult to pinpoint because it is spreading so rapidly. I was complacent. These are probably investors who have withdrawn. “I made a promise, but it doesn’t seem to have been kept.”
Director Kyotaro, who was muttering, turned his attention to the tablet in front of him. On the article page of the portal site, you can see a picture of articles related to ‘familiar parasites’ lined up. The titles were all provocative.
“The media is pouring out numerous abusing articles, starting with rumors of discord. They are so quick that it seems too late to cover it up.”
“…Is that so?”
“yes. Of course, I don’t know how much it will cool down over time.”
“If other trash is thrown in, it might get worse.”
“that’s right. At present, it is difficult to predict the future. The bigger problem is that in addition to the investors who have withdrawn, the remaining investment funds are also shaking. “I haven’t said it out loud yet, but…”
Director Kyotaro trailed off. We may not know, but if the controversy over ‘unfamiliar parasites’ continues to grow, there is a high possibility that the remaining investors will also withdraw. The same goes for actors. It was clear that the defeat would deepen as time passed. That’s why Director Kyotaro’s face is dark.
Even if you try to get investment money again, the hole is bound to get smaller.
“The delay I mentioned last time may extend until the middle of next year instead of early next year.”
Director Kyotaro, who brushed off his gray hair, added words with difficulty.
“If things continue like this, Mr. Woojin’s image could take quite a big hit. “In this situation, the person who the media and public opinion would feel most stimulated by is Woojin.”
On the other hand, the Japanese that Kang Woo-jin answered over the phone was still calm and solemn.
“I guess so.”
“Woojin’s name is in many articles that are already being published. That’s why…I called you to ask about Woojin’s intentions. Things are going to get worse and worse. The actors we cast also paid attention to what we started doing. “It’s okay to say that Woojin is missing now. The fault lies with me.”
It means that you want to live before the situation gets even more muddy. Of course, Director Kyotaro still needed Kang Woo-jin. No, there was no problem if I stopped. Because the cast could be reorganized.
But that’s just director Kyotaro’s greed.
He couldn’t pretend not to see the arrows raining down on Woojin. Holding on just out of greed is stubbornness.
“Woojin’s image cannot be tarnished due to the ‘unfamiliar parasite’ issue. So, you can say it without any pressure. If you say that Woojin is missing right now.”
“no.”
However, Kang Woo-jin on the other side of the cell phone did not seem to have any intention of doing so. It was extremely calm.
“I’ll wait.”
“……”
“More than anything, if I were to leave now, it would be like acknowledging all the nonsense from the media.”
“That’s-but.”
“It may take some damage to my image.”
“But… isn’t Woojin finally seeing the light after a long life in obscurity?”
“I don’t really care about that. “I just want to be an ‘unfamiliar gisaeng.’”
Director Kyotaro is in tears.
“Thank you so much.”
“no. “I’ll be waiting, of course, if the director doesn’t mind.”
“It’s me – I’m so grateful.”
“Okay, I have a schedule.”
“is it so. I will contact you again.”
-Suddenly.
Director Kyotaro slowly lowers his cell phone. At this time, a female Japanese voice spoke from across from him.
“What does Woojin say? As expected…you’re missing out? Still, you have to understand. Because the situation is very bad.”
A middle-aged woman in her 60s. No, it was Akari, the original author of ‘The Stranger.’
“Just a few hours after the controversy broke out, the media is already heavily targeting Mr. Woojin.”
Director Kyotaro slowly shook his head behind writer Akari, who felt a deep sense of regret.
“No, author. Woojin will wait. “I said I really wanted to film ‘The Stranger.’”
Author Akari’s eyes widen.
“really? Did Woojin really say that?”
“yes. It doesn’t matter if the image is damaged. “He told me not to worry because he would just be waiting.”
“…Kang Woo-jin really. Ha – I don’t know. “He’s a rookie, but he’s really strong.”
“Yes. I also saw it for a short period of time, but it was also like the first meeting with ‘The Stranger’. It feels like Woojin is truly left behind. “I’ve been a director for decades, but this is the first time I’ve seen an actor like Woojin. At least he doesn’t exist in Japan.”
A smile appeared on author Akari’s lips.
“This is not the time to sit here like an idiot.”
“Yes, author.”
Then, Director Kyotaro stood up from his seat.
It was a largely misunderstanding-filled conversation.
“For some reason, I feel energized when an actor of his caliber says he will wait.”
Now, Director Kyotaro has lost courage.
backwards.
Contrary to Director Kyotaro’s growing power, he is an ‘unfamiliar parasite’ in Japan.
『Did you just put on a show? 「Struggles to maintain investment funds for Stranger Things」』
『Director Kyotaro Tanoguchi’s stubbornness forced him to not ignore the voices of fans of the original work』 It was
safe to say that it was falling. The investment controversy that erupted on the 8th grew rapidly.
『Is the “unfamiliar parasite” with endless issues too big of a challenge? “Investors are recovering their funds”
It was a small news story in the past, but this time it had special power because it was mainly driven by large media companies.
Is that why?
Small and medium-sized media companies soon followed suit.
The rice cake shook Japan for eight days after leaving the entertainment news front page of Japan’s No. 1 portal site. It was an ‘unfamiliar parasite’ with such a strong issue, that as soon as the prey was thrown, the attitude of the media and public opinion suddenly changed. Launch an attack.
『The officials concerned about “The Strange Gisaeng” leaking investment funds “There may be a problem with the scenario”』
『The dangerous challenge of the “Unfamiliar Gisaeng” The result led to the return of the investment!』
To be precise, the media rushed in because they thought it was the right time, and it has been hidden from public opinion until now. The opposition parties showed themselves openly.
A day later, from the 9th, even bullshit without any facts began to appear.
Rumors of discord between actors, differences in positions between investors and director Kyotaro, writer Akari, who was holding his breath, missing, Kang Woo-jin’s scandal that didn’t even exist, etc.
『Differences of opinion between Kang Woo-jin of 「The Stranger」 and the cast actors? Will the movie production be canceled like this?
‘The Strange Parasite’ was rocked by numerous abusing articles. The Japanese public was just as excited.
-I knew it! In the first place, it made no sense to hire a new Korean actor to star! Fans of the original Stranger Things were so opposed to it!
But if you look at it the other way.
-Cheonjine, an all-familiar film reporter! ah! I really wasn’t interested, but I kept seeing it so I started watching!
The level of interest was like a nuclear bomb more than ever. It was a strange picture. Despite being the biggest crisis for ‘unfamiliar parasites’, awareness was extremely high. It is several times more powerful than when Kang Woo-jin revealed that he was a ‘new Korean actor.’
This was the power of stimulation that spread throughout the world of mass media.
Because the hooking power of a salty one is several times stronger than a bland one. In any case, the unintentional ‘noise marketing’ of ‘Unfamiliar’ was still gaining strength even after two days had passed, on the 10th. To that extent, Kang Woo-jin’s comments also pour down like a waterfall.
If you look at it realistically, it wasn’t such a bad picture for Woojin.
『What kind of position will Kang Woo-jin, who rides a roller coaster of interest rise and fall, come out in?』
Even if ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’ fails like this, for Kang Woo-jin, one of the works he had prepared would disappear. For better or worse, his popularity in Japan is growing.
About this way.
“PD! Have you seen these ‘unfamiliar’ articles?! “Is this getting too big?”
As the recording with Kang Woo-jin was recently completed, ‘Ametalk show!’, which is currently in the midst of editing, was put on alert. But PD Shinjo is very skinny.
“I know, I saw it too.”
“Isn’t it better to just observe the situation for a while?”
“why?? From what I can see, if it airs like this, I think the viewership ratings will hit a record high.”
Rather, I decided that it was a good thing. Whatever it is, the ‘unfamiliar gisaeng’ story is getting louder as the days go by. Naturally, it has spread to Korea as well. In Korea, unlike Japan, this situation was viewed from a slightly third-party perspective.
『[Exclusive] Investment in ‘Familiar Gisaeng’, which will be the first Japanese lead role of monster rookie ‘Kang Woo-jin’, is suddenly blocked… A crisis that comes suddenly』 『’Familiar Gisaeng’ has already
lost half of the total investment. Investments are expected to freeze further after the controversy erupts』
Well, it seems like there are all kinds of speculations, but does it feel light? This was similar to the public as well. Reactions to the article, including comments and social media, were quick, but the nuance was consistent.
-Eh? What is it? Is that Japanese movie falling apart?? Kabine…
Anyway, Kang Woo-jin is the center of this whole situation.
『[Star Pick] Is Japan in danger of extinction of ‘unfamiliar parasites’? In reality, ‘Kang Woo-jin’ had no reaction.
The world was quiet.
An advertisement filming location on the morning of September 12th.
The time is around 9 o’clock. Dozens of staff members are busy setting up filming. Among them is an advertising director on a desk with several monitors.
“It feels like this – a cut of me running around wearing jeans here and there. “I was wondering if it was possible to take my top off.”
I was showing the storyboard for today’s filming to a man with ponytails. Of course, it was Choi Seong-gun.
“Hmm, I don’t know. “There was no such thing in the first place.”
“I know. I’ll talk to you again later when the advertisers’ employees come, but before that, I was wondering what you think, Woojin. “It seems to me that the jeans will stand out much more if you don’t have a top on, right?”
Of course, the main character in the commercial shoot was Kang Woo-jin. Woojin was not currently on set. It was in a van parked in the parking lot. I wasn’t alone either. It’s been a while since I saw a beard. In other words, in the van were Kang Woo-jin and producer Song Man-woo, a big name in dramas.
-Palak.
Kang Woo-jin had just opened the first of two thin stacks of paper he had received from producer Song Man-woo. The cover of the bundle of paper had these words written on it.
-Synopsis.
Woojin, who was reading the first line of the content with an indifferent expression, suddenly turned his gaze to producer Song Man-woo, who was sitting next to him and swallowed a little nervously.
“Producer. This is the main character.”
“Oh, that’s right.”
Producer Song Man-woo then quickly nodded and answered.
“The main character is a chef.”
