I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 137
I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 137
(Back ship (5))
Producer Song Man-woo, who mentioned the main character’s occupation as a chef in a van, added an explanation.
“If you read the synopsis a little more, you will understand, but is he a chef who was successful in the past but has fallen in the present?”
“Do you feel like waking up again?”
“I think it will probably happen. Of course, the direction may change a little.”
Kang Woo-jin slowly nodded and focused his gaze on the synopsis again. I was nervous because the first line mentioned cooking, but after hearing producer Song Man-woo’s words just now, Woo-jin became convinced.
‘Chef – I don’t remember the title, but wasn’t there a chef drama that was a huge hit?’
A synopsis usually includes a brief overall plot, outline, writing purpose, characters, etc. The synopsis that Woojin is currently reading was the same.
‘That’s cool, chef. Especially when cutting.’
Kang Woo-jin secretly remembers a video he saw on YouTube in the past. He was a chef YouTuber with his face covered, but I watched several videos because I was fascinated by his flashy cutting skills. Woojin had tried the recipe there a few times.
anyway.
-Palak.
Kang Woo-jin cynically read one more page of the synopsis and let out a short sigh.
The reason was simple.
‘Well, there’s a lot of this and that – but honestly, the synopsis is just a piece of paper to me.’
Unfortunately, the black square does not appear in the synopsis of the drama movie. A passageway into subspace. In fact, there was nothing attached to the synopsis of the two copies of the work that Woojin held in his hands. It’s just an ordinary thin wad of paper.
It’s been like that since long ago.
In a few-page script, the subspace passage appeared, but even after 100 pages, there was no black square in the synopsis. Well, if it’s natural, then it’s natural, right? In the first place, a synopsis is just a PPT that contains an explanation of the work.
There wasn’t a single word of dialogue, just explanations.
It is common for other actors to look at the synopsis in depth to select a project, but Kang Woo-jin was not that impressed. Still, I pretend to read for now.
Suddenly here.
‘…But if you check the script of the drama in which this chef is the main character – does it mean that he can also gain chef skills?’
A slight sense of anticipation arose for Kang Woo-jin. Wouldn’t it be possible in subspace? That’s because of his vocal ability, and he’s also able to learn many languages in an instant, right?
‘Cooking skills? Or knowledge? I’m not sure what abilities will be imprinted on me. ‘Isn’t it possible to use any ability?’
Since it is always a strange sub-space, there may be a twist, but the possibility is very high. At this moment, a few things come to mind as to where he would use his chef-related abilities if he gained them.
‘What immediately comes to mind is ‘our table’.’
A huge entertainment show in which many top stars, including Kang Woo-jin, are preparing to be produced by producer Byung-seon Yoon, a giant in the entertainment industry. ‘Our Table’ also had the theme of ‘cooking’ in the larger picture. Other than that, it’s probably very useful in real life as well.
On the other hand, bearded producer Song Man-woo swallowed dry saliva as he looked at Woojin’s silent face.
‘I’m so nervous just looking at you without saying a word.’
Woojin Kang. No, because he was a strong believer in Gangtotem. Even though he was a drama star, his hands were sweaty. In a way, it was a painting that was evaluated by Kang Totem.
Currently, PD Song Man-woo has left the broadcasting station.
Although the work related to Hanryang has not been completed yet, it has been completed in the form of handover and joining if necessary. In other words, PD Song Man-woo became independent. And he took on the role of president of a new production company. Of course, on the surface, he was the boss.
There are two representatives.
Producer Song Man-woo should be seen as a face madam and representative director, and he was the first to bring Kang Woo-jin the drama synopsis he had selected for his first work after becoming independent. Because of the promise made at Hanryang’s closing party. Of course, knowing that Woojin would be busy, producer Song Man-woo personally came to the filming location of this advertisement. He was a big man, he was rude, and he was polite.
‘Thank you for taking the time out of this crazy schedule.’
Of course, faith in Woojin was also included.
About this way.
-Sigh.
Kang Woo-jin, who was ‘pretending’ to read the second synopsis, opened his mouth with an indifferent expression.
“PD.”
“Oh, I’m listening, Woojin.”
“Aren’t the scripts for these two works released?”
When asked again, bearded producer Song Man-woo shook his head.
“There is. But it’s not complete yet. Has one episode of both works been released? “But I haven’t decided which project I will go for, so I put the process on hold.”
“Is that so? “Hmm-”
Woojin, who had been sighing briefly, lowered his voice by neatly overlapping two copies of the synopsis.
“Then can I receive those unfinished scripts?”
“That’s no problem. I’m busy. Is it okay? I’m okay with it if you just give it a little bit of advice. “I thought it might be a hassle.”
“I don’t mind, you can send it to me.”
Producer Song Man-woo’s expression immediately brightened.
“all right! Are you asking me to send you both works?”
Well, that would be natural. Kang Woo-jin nodded solemnly.
“Yes, both works.”
“okay! Haha, Kangtotem, you’re busy, but I don’t know what to do. Then, organize it and send the script to Woojin’s company.”
“no. “If possible, please come to my house.”
“is it so? Uh, then I’ll send you home. “Today’s schedule ends at night, right?”
“yes.”
That moment.
-smart.
A knocking sound rang out on the window of the van. Soon the back door of the van opened and the smiling face of pigtail-haired Choi Seong-gun was seen.
“PD. “I’m sorry, but Woojin’s filming is starting now.”
“ah! Yes, Woojin, thank you so much for your time. “Go quickly!”
After giving a brief closing greeting, producer Song Man-woo ran to his car parked nearby, and Woo-jin moved to the commercial filming site alongside Choi Seong-geon. It was at this time that Choi Seong-geon spoke.
“What did PD Song say?”
“You gave me the synopsis.”
“Ah, so that gentleman became independent, right? From what I’ve heard, I heard that Hanryang is a very big company and has received a lot of investment due to the huge success of Hanryang. “Afterwards, we also need to properly invest our money.”
Choi Seong-gun. No, BW Entertainment was in full swing preparing for expansion these days. We are selecting several investors and calculating the future value of BW Entertainment. Here, the word ‘investment money’ made Woojin think of ‘unfamiliar parasite.’
“What is the status of ‘unfamiliar parasites’ on the Japanese side?”
“We have contacted them and are continuing to monitor them.”
Choi Seong-geon paused for a moment and scratched his chin as if he was embarrassed.
“Honestly, the situation has gotten worse. The image has been tarnished a lot. There will not be a situation where public opinion completely changes. Are you thinking of leaving right now? “No one will criticize you, so you can decide comfortably.”
“No, I’ll wait.”
“…Since you are so clear on public and private matters, it is unlikely that you are being polite or polite. “Is there a reason?”
‘Unfamiliar Parasite’ has risen to S+ level. Since I couldn’t say that, Woojin just gave a vague answer.
“I just want to be a stranger.”
However, in this comment, Choi Seong-geon.
‘As expected, something about the ‘unfamiliar parasite’ caught my eye. Otherwise, there is no reason to hold on when the situation is at this point. ‘If that crazy sense has been triggered…’
I was swallowing a spoonful of my slight illusion.
Japan at the same time.
The ‘Toega’ film studio of ‘Unfamiliar Gisaeng’ in Tokyo was extremely busy. Because the situation still hasn’t gone away. No, the situation got even worse about a week after the first article broke.
『Will the director Kyotaro Tanoguchi, who is said to be leaking investment funds, collapse like this?』
What can I say, the popularity of ‘The Unfamiliar Parasite’ was at its peak, but on the contrary, various nonsense and bullshit were also pouring in like crazy. In response to this, ‘Toega’ film company moved quickly and published articles explaining the situation.
『Toega said, “It is true that the investment amount has been reduced, but other articles are groundless.”』
The fire was not easily extinguished. Accordingly, numerous rumors began to circulate among actors in the Japanese entertainment industry, including those who were cast in ‘Strange Gisaeng’.
“Director! “I keep hearing people telling me to reconsider my investment!”
“……this. “How about this time?”
Even though investors had already withdrawn, even the remaining investment money was shaking. About 60% of the investment has already been withdrawn. Of course, director Kyotaro and the film company were doing everything they could to attract new investment, but the results were not good.
Well, it was a natural trend.
The situation is clearly looking bad, but which investor will step forward? There was no choice but to become passive and the hole narrowed. At this point, there was only one decision left for director Kyotaro and the film company to make.
“Director… How about reducing the scale of the film to the current remaining production cost?”
Reduce the size significantly. However, Director Kyotaro thought that this would never be possible.
“no. If that’s the case, it’s better to give up production. In addition, it is unclear whether the remaining investment will be maintained.”
“…hmm. Still, something needs to be decided. There continues to be baseless gossip about Mr. Woojin, including in our movies. Additionally, except for Woojin, the movements of the rest of the actors are unusual. You have to do something when you have the remaining investment money. ”
“……”
“How about raising the crank-in in a hurry and then gradually replenishing the investment?”
Some of the methods were all extreme. Did Director Kyotaro find his tenacity to be too much? I wanted to. Is Japan not ready for change? Whatever it was, if time continued like this, everyone, including Kang Woo-jin, would only suffer.
Director Kyotaro has complicated feelings.
I’ve already been struggling for over a week, but there is no trick.
‘It’s time to decide whether to push on or stop.’
Timing to confirm GO or STOP.
It was right then.
-♬♪
Director Kyotaro’s cell phone rang on the desk. The caller’s number is not saved. He had been considering ignoring the many indiscriminate calls from media outlets recently.
“Huh-”
I picked up the phone to see if there would be any rumors.
“Yes, I am Kyota Tanoguchi.”
The person on the other end of the phone was a woman and not a reporter.
“Hello, Director. “My name is Riri Tetsugawa of the Kashihi Group.”
Director Kyotaro blinks.
“……Kasihi Group? “Is this the Kashihi group I know?”
A company ranked in the top 10 in Japan’s business rankings.
“That’s right, Director.”
It was an opponent so outrageous that it was ridiculous.
“There is someone who would like to see the director.”
“You mean me? who?”
But the woman on the other side of the phone was infinitely calm.
“This is the person who will provide all of the investment funds for ‘The Stranger.’”
Kang Woo-jin’s officetel at night.
The van that just dropped off Kang Woo-jin slowly leaves the underground parking lot. Woojin watched it quietly.
“……”
It was only after the van had completely disappeared that I released the pain that had wrapped around my body.
“Paha, I’ll search. No, he might already be dead.”
It’s 11:40 pm now. It’s late at first glance, but for Kang Woo-jin, he left work earlier than usual today. That’s why Kang Woo-jin’s eyes were full of fatigue. Soon he turned around and started walking. Recalling the schedule I made today.
‘What did I do today? ‘I honestly don’t even remember.’
But I was so distracted that I couldn’t even remember. It’s already been 3 weeks since I went to Japan. Woojin muttered softly, entered the elevator, and pressed the button for the first floor. The reason for not going home right away was simple.
‘Did you think it would be in the delivery box?’
Producer Song Man-woo, who I met in the morning, contacted me saying he had sent me the script. As expected, there was a slightly thick yellow document envelope in the delivery box. After picking it up, he got back into the elevator. As he was climbing up with a whining sound, Kang Woo-jin opened the document envelope.
– Fight!
Although I was full of fatigue, a little bit of anticipation emerged from it. Of course, it’s because of the skills acquisition I heard about in the morning.
“Let’s see-”
Inside the yellow envelope were two copies of the script. At this time, the elevator arrived at the floor and opened the door. Woojin, who had just arrived home, took off his shoes and took out two copies of the script from a yellow envelope. Although he had to check both, there was only one thing Kang Woo-jin was looking for right now.
“What does it mean that the chef is appearing?”
There was nothing to check for a long time. Because the title of the script I was looking for caught my eye.
-Woojin smiled slightly after seeing the title of
‘Praised Chef’ .
“This is this.”
Woojin then placed the yellow envelope on a nearby table and listened to the script for ‘Praised Chef’. Of course, unlike the synopsis I saw in the morning, I see a familiar black square next to the script. A whirlwind of gray and black.
Kang Woo-jin takes a picture with his index finger without thinking about it.
-Poof!
Before he knew it, Woojin had entered a subspace that he came to a hundred times more often than a house filled with endless darkness. Woojin, who had been stretching out, walked toward the white rectangle that was as high as his chest.
The script just now has been added as a white square.
First of all, when Kang Woo-jin visits subspace recently, he always checks it first.
-[7/Scenario (Title: Stranger’s Bizarre Sacrifice) S+ grade]
Grade of ‘unfamiliar parasite’.
“Yes, it’s still at S+ level.”
The sudden ‘unfamiliar parasite’ S+ rating was maintained. Satisfied, Kang Woo-jin turned his gaze to the last white square.
-[8/Script (Title: ‘Praised Chef’) Grade C]
Unfortunately, ‘Praised Chef’ was grade C. In other words, a flat hit. At this time, Woojin suddenly shook his head.
“If it’s a C, it’s not bad. Is this crazy person having high eyesight?” While
criticizing himself, he touched the white square of ‘Praised Chef’. Then, the text you see changes quickly.
-[8/You have selected the script (title: ‘Praised Chef’).]
-[List people with possible leading (experience).]
-[A: Jang Hyeon-jae…]
You need to pay attention to the roles in the back. There was no. All Woojin needs is to be the main character. Without hesitation, Kang Woo-jin chose the first role listed, the main character. Still, I recited the spell in my mind.
‘Come out, come out. Get out! float!’
If a robotic-like female voice said she would read the role right away, it was a failure, but if she gave a comment with a different nuance than usual, she passed.
It was then.
[“Abilities beyond the basic specifications are detected. “Learn the ‘chef’s techniques’ first.”]
The results of the shoulder dance spread throughout subspace. At that moment, Kang Woo-jin clapped both hands together. Because I passed. But ‘chef’s technique’? For a brief moment, I was curious about his ability to be imprinted.
[“……”]
After being quiet for a moment, a robotic female voice rang out again.
[“Abilities beyond the basic specifications are detected. “Learn the ‘chef’s recipe’ first.”] As soon
as he heard it, Kang Woo-jin’s eyes widened slightly.
“Huh?Two?”
Because this was the first time something like this had happened.
