I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 140

I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 140

( Counterattack (3) )

Two hours later, Korea. Suwon.

Inside KBC’s drama production center, where the ‘Frozen Love’ team took root.

“Set inspection completed!!”

“The lighting is OK too!!”

“All you have to do is organize your props here!”

“We start shooting in 15 minutes, so hurry up!”

Preparations for filming were almost complete. The area around the set was packed with all kinds of devices. Cameras installed in front and at various angles, reflectors and lights, many wires laid like blood vessels, etc. The dozens of staff members coming and going were busy.

In the meantime.

“Oh, writer. Please sit here.”

The directing producer sat in a seat where three monitors were placed, and writer Lee Wol-seon, who appeared, sat next to him. Soon, artist Lee Wol-seon, with a luxury handbag on her lap, smiled faintly.

“Good scene. “Even though it’s been a dozen times already, I like the air here.”

“ha ha ha. Is that so?”

“huh. “I feel like I’m seeing the fiction I wrote in real life.”

Writer Lee Wol-seon, who was reciting, looked around and let out a small laugh.

“By the way, many of our actors came too.”

From now on, there will be filming of the male lead, Jang Jang-hwan, and Kang Woo-jin, the ‘strange guy next door’. Nevertheless, the actors who should have been waiting were already on site. The directing producer gave the answer.

“Well, isn’t this your first shoot? And you probably want to see it with your own eyes. “Both the writer and I gave permission.”

Writer Lee Wol-seon, who recalled Kang Woo-jin, nodded as if he understood.

“You might be curious because the scene was revised on the day of the script reading to include the ad-lib in question.”

“I also want to see Woojin’s acting. “It’s different from sitting down and doing something like during a reading.”

At this time.

-Sigh.

A woman entered behind the two people talking.

“hello.”

When I turned around, the sign language expert who had also attended the script reading was standing there, and writer Lee Wol-seon stood up and greeted her.

“Are you here? “Thank you for coming to our first photo shoot.”

“no. I also wanted to come. “But-”

Here, the sign language expert carefully asked Kang Woo-jin, who was sitting indifferently on one side of the filming zone, silently looking down at the script.

“Mr. Kang Woo-jin…you’re much calmer than I thought, aren’t you?”

Artist Lee Wol-seon also moved his eyes following her gaze. And then he laughed.

“Woojin, it’s always like that. “Would it be winter in terms of season?”

It was mostly an error. Because Kang Woo-jin, who was currently sitting in the chair, was pounding inside. To be exact, I was thinking about something a little different.

‘If the editing of ‘Boyfriend’ is over, doesn’t that mean it’s not long before it’s launched?’

A few tens of minutes ago, I heard from Choi Seong-gun that the editing of ‘Boyfriend’ had been completed. It seems like it was only yesterday that my heart almost exploded during the kissing scene, but the editing has already been completed. No, it is true that an appropriate amount of time had passed, but from Kang Woo-jin’s perspective, it felt like it was very fast.

Anyway, Kang Woo-jin started to feel excited.

‘Ugh, I’m secretly excited but also worried.’

Unlike Hanryang, he was the main character in ‘Male Friend’. This is his first time working overseas, not in Korea, as a lead actor. In addition, Japan was already making a lot of noise with Kang Woo-jin. I’m nervous, but there are a lot of people watching, so I keep a pure poker face.

The other actors who were watching Woojin made small noises.

“You seem to be holding on to your emotions. It’s very serious.”

“Um- Is that so? But Woojin is always like that. “Well, that’s all I saw for one day.”

“I think it’s right to control my emotions since I came here, because it’s a difficult role.”

“It’s definitely different from sitting down during a script reading and acting on set, right?”

“Even Hanryang said it wasn’t a joke. It felt like a serial killer had really appeared.”

“Acting with a disability is really sensitive, so you have to control all your hand and foot movements – hmm, what can I do?”

Kang Woo-jin, who was sitting around here, received a call. A sign to proceed with costume and makeup.

Some time later.

Kang Woo-jin’s fully prepared appearance was revealed. Well, nothing changed noticeably. The outfit is simply jeans and a hoodie. However, the hair was natural and slightly frizzy, as if no care had been taken, and the makeup was light enough to show only the appropriate complexion.

If there’s one thing I emphasized, it’s the eye area.

It’s not dark, but it has strangely dark circles. As soon as preparations were completed to Ujin.

-Sigh.

The directing producer, Kang Woo-jin, and the tall man Jeong Jang-hwan gathered in the middle of the set. It was for a simple script rehearsal. For reference, Jeong Jang-hwan’s appearance was very neat. The hair was short and the outfit was a suit with sharp edges.

anyway.

“Okay like this? Since this is the first cut, I’ll go with the feeling of lightly guessing the lines.”

A calm Kang Woo-jin or Jeong Jang-hwan nodded at the words of the director, who had just finished rehearsing verbally.

“Yes, PD.”

“All right.”

The director, who quickly got a laugh, slapped both hands a few times and shouted to the entire scene.

“now! “Let’s roll the camera!!”

Jeong Jang-hwan made eye contact with Woojin. For some reason, Kang Woo-jin was looking at Jeong Jang-hwan. Jeong Jang-hwan chuckled at this.

“Oh, don’t worry. I won’t ad-lib today. Even if I do, I will tell Woojin in advance.”

Eh? I don’t mind doing it. Kang Woo-jin wondered something in his heart. He was just admiring Jeong Jang-hwan’s tall, tall body.

‘I envy you. Do you think he’s 2m tall? ‘I wish I could give it just 5 centimeters.’

However, there is no way to negotiate the height even though there is an equipped concept. Kang Woo-jin answered bluntly, keeping his voice as low as possible.

“i look forward to.”

“Yes, please take care of me too.”

At about that time, the director sitting at the monitor seat made a request to the two actors.

“Jang Hwan, Woo Jin! Let’s settle down!”

After a while.

The camera captured the set, which included side-by-side iron doors reminiscent of the hallway of a luxury apartment and even the elevator door. From left to right from the front.

Right now, Kang Woo-jin and Jeong Jang-hwan are nowhere to be seen.

The reason was simple. Since their appearance was to open the door and come out, they were standing behind the iron gate of the set. Now, when the action sign was thrown, it was Jeong Jang-hwan’s turn to move first, and it was immediately Kang Woo-jin’s turn.

Among those two, Kang Woo-jin.

‘Whoa-’

As I stood in front of the iron gate, I woke up the ‘strange man next door’ who had been sleeping aloof and engraved inside me. And pulled it up. This process was now a blink of an eye. Before he knew it, Woojin was covered in everything from ‘The Strange Man Next Door’ from head to toe.

Woojin’s posture and attitude change.

Clear lines, as if he had memorized them thousands of times, settle in his mind. His senses, emotions, and inner thoughts take root in his heart. A solid world unfolds before his eyes. Gradually, his hearing becomes deaf.

It started with tinnitus.

A noise like a beep spread in Woojin’s ears. The sounds that exist here gradually disappear. Into the ground and up to the sky. At the same time, the noisy scene on the set disappears one by one like smoke.

‘Be quiet.’

It felt as if this fragment of the hallway was floating like an island in a vast, endless space. But it didn’t feel very good.

Because a world where you can’t hear anything is just empty.

At least Kang Woo-jin. No, ‘The Strange Man Next Door’ was like that. It was empty and frustrating. Despair welled up deep inside me. Still, I endure it. He didn’t even look at me in despair. Hold on? Not like that.

All I did was deceive myself out of familiarity.

Soon, a huge silence and a slight fear came together for Kang Woo-jin. The frustration of having to live like this for the rest of your life, and the loss of motivation that overflows even after covering up that frustration. At this time, the camera behind Kang Woo-jin moved to his profile.

The angle is bust.

Therefore, Woojin’s face was displayed on one of the monitors that many people saw. Writer Lee Wol-seon’s eyes grew serious and he covered his mouth.

“Before the actual performance begins. But still, it was as if he had the world of ‘The Strange Boy Next Door’ all over his face…”

Several staff members, including the scripter, also lined up and exclaimed in exclamation.

“Wow, Woojin, look at how unfocused your eyes are.”

“What are the details? It’s like there’s an expression but no expression… Where do you learn expressions like that?”

“How many seconds did it take now? “It’s ridiculously fast to capture emotions…”

Around this time, writer Lee Wol-seon asked the sign language expert on his right.

“What does that look like now?”

The wide-eyed sign language expert answered faintly.

“It doesn’t feel strange. No, it really feels real. Even for someone who doesn’t know how to act, it’s amazing. “How can it be like that?”

There hasn’t even been any action yet. Soon, the directing producer in the first place bursts into laughter while looking at Kang Woo-jin on the monitor.

‘Acting with a disability is something that ordinary actors avoid. I can’t help but be scared. But he has no hesitation. But do you feel a liveliness that gives you goosebumps?’

The director, who became serious as well as in awe, slowly raised the loudspeaker. A shout soon rang out across the entire scene.

“High-Q!!”

The entire set, which had been whispering, quickly became mute. But for Kang Woo-jin. ‘The strange man next door’ has no meaning at all. Because it’s the same either way.

at that time.

-Rat!

Jeong Jang-Hwan. No, ‘Song Taehyung’ opened the front iron door. The camera is in front of him. Song Taehyung appeared rubbing his hands as if he had sprayed hand sanitizer just before.

At the same time.

– Sweet.

The iron door next door to Song Taehyung was also opened. ‘The strange man next door’ slowly appears. Song Taehyung narrows his eyebrows.

“Tsk.”

On the other hand.

-Sigh.

Woojin noticed Song Taehyung’s presence visually, not through sound. A small amount of joy appears in his frozen complexion. Because the situation was created from a stiff loss. Kang Woo-jin’s expression right now was exactly like that.

He said Song Taehyung was not bad.

‘That person’s house always smells good.’

I don’t know if it was because he was sensitive to smells, but Kang Woo-jin liked the scent that came out the moment his house was opened. Here, he steps behind the camera and captures Kang Woo-jin and Jeong Jang-hwan in two shots.

The changes in both are clearly visible on the monitor.

The two characters see each other, but communication is impossible. ‘Song Tae-hyung’ was cut off voluntarily, and Woojin Kang was cut off intentionally. Therefore, their understanding, thoughts, opinions, and understanding are all different.

At this time, Kang Woo-jin takes a step closer to ‘Song Tae-hyung’.

Song Tae-hyung flinched, but the depressed Kang Woo-jin only smiled a small smile. Although it may have been an ambiguous smile to others, it was positive to Woojin.

He liked Song Taehyung’s consistency.

Song Taehyung always leaves home at the same time. That’s why we were able to meet as if we had promised. Even if you don’t say anything. Woojin also liked Song Taehyung’s neatness. Always neat and undisturbed.

The stiff expression on his face was aggressive, but even that was good for Woojin.

Song Taehyung treated everyone equally, not just himself. Consistent.

‘People change when they know about me.’

Whether it is consideration or reluctance, Kang Woo-jin. Everyone experienced the same thing as ‘The Strange Man Next Door’. That wasn’t a bad thing. Woojin just thought Song Taehyung, who was always aggressive no matter who his opponent was, was cool. I feel like the standard of fairness lies not with the other person, but with myself.

Kang Woo-jin twitched his hand.

The camera closes up Woojin’s hands, forearms, and face. Currently, Kang Woo-jin’s eyes have changed. It was full of longing and agony.

At this time, the sign language expert who was looking at the monitor opened his eyes wide.

“Three goodness.”

Writer Lee Wol-seon quickly followed her words.

“…Yes, I was planning to say the same thing.”

“Right now, Woojin doesn’t look like an ordinary person at all.”

“How was it possible to put so much depth into such a short acting role?”

Kang Woo-jin was not provocative, but he was also not transparent. And it’s watery. Although I lost motivation, it was because I did not give up hope. That hope quickly turns into despair.

Song Tae-hyung or Jeong Jang-hwan, who saw that expression from the front, paused.

‘I understand why the big guys are sticking to him. ‘If this is this good in my eyes, then in their eyes…’

Song Taehyung’s rich lines were then heard.

“What is it?”

Mouth shape. Woojin, whose voice had disappeared, recognized the words through the shape of his mouth. You are asking something. From here, a lot of the past is contained in Kang Woo-jin’s eyes. ‘Troubles’ were waiting at the end.

I also want to ask questions, I want to talk, can I do that? I’m also afraid of change. Will that person freak out when he sees me?

Can we become friends?

However, Song Tae-hyung seems to be tired of the ‘strange boy next door’, so he clicks his tongue and goes on his way.

“I’m so annoyed. I should move.”

The camera stops in front of Song Tae-hyung and slowly approaches Kang Woo-jin. He is still standing there looking at Song Taehyung’s back. Just looking at this was strange enough.

No, all of Woojin’s acting up until now was like that.

Because I acted only with my eyes, facial expressions, and detailed body and hand gestures, without a single line of dialogue. It was clear that viewers, along with everyone watching the monitor, would see it that way.

That man said that the silent man next door was suspicious.

When that decision was made, Kang Woo-jin, who had been still, slowly raised his hands. Facial muscles relax. Woojin spoke to Song Taehyung’s back.

‘I like you.’

For him, sign language was his dialogue. A close-up of Woojin’s face soon. The monitor shows the slightly relaxed smile of the ‘strange man next door’. It was probably at this point that viewers would have noticed.

It’s not strange that you can’t do it.

It was a scene driven solely by emotion. It may be difficult to understand if you are a little confused. However, so far, Kang Woo-jin has not made a single mistake.

It was clear and perfect.

The entire process is captured on camera, including emotions and facial expressions. Although there is not a single line, it is more powerful than a hundred words. Deep and dark. The actors who saw Kang Woo-jin both on monitors and in person reacted in their own ways.

I was completely absorbed and just fell in love with it.

“……”

I exclaimed harshly to myself.

‘Wow, the acting is amazing. How on earth can you express that kind of look in your eyes…’

What all actors had in common was that they all ended up with one thing.

That’s not the type of acting that a rookie can do.

Then, the eyes of the actors watching Woojin expanded even further. It wasn’t because there was something intense. I was overwhelmed by the gentle and quiet acting. Right now, Kang Woo-jin’s two hands are moving in the air.

‘Can’t we become friends?’

Because it was overly bitter yet sad.

Then, without realizing it, writer Lee Wol-seon let out a laugh.

“I just ripped up the script and came out.”

The acting of the roles of Jo and Dan, which took only 2 days to film, sets the standard for Lee Wol-seon, a star writer with 20 years of experience.

“It’s a big problem, but if your eyes become too high. “It would have been better not to see it.”

I easily replaced it.

Japan at this time.

Around the time when Kang Woo-jin was in the midst of turning over the set of ‘Freezing Love’. In Japan, a ridiculous yet strange entity related to ‘familiar parasites’ had just appeared.

『Kashihi Group is interested in the collapsing “Unfamiliar Parasite?” Rumors spread throughout the film industry.』

It was the Kashihi Group.
