I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 144
I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 144
(Missing (3))
‘One-day restaurant’? At Producer Byung-seon Yoon’s words, a simple imagination unfolded in Kang Woo-jin’s mind. It reminded me of entertainment shows that I had watched as a small citizen.
‘Would you like to give it a quick try before starting the main filming? It feels like working part-time before starting a business. Oh, that sounds like fun?’
Although he is not a producer, Kang Woo-jin tries to insert himself into entertainment shows. There was a picture of them being confused and awkwardly fighting with customers. In a strange way, I felt a sense of pressure but was also nervous.
Woojin, who seemed to be in a fussy mood but was equipped with a strong sense of concept, asked back in a cool tone.
“Would you like to rent a store and run it for a day?”
Producer Byung-seon Yoon raised his glasses and smiled.
“That’s right. The restaurant search has already been completed, and um, why is there a restaurant like that? “Like kimbap heaven.”
“ah.”
“We are going to run a K-Snack restaurant in the U.S., but since it gets boring if there are too many snacks, the concept will be as diverse as Kimbap Heaven.”
In other words, the main menu will be snack food, but we will also try various Korean dishes such as instant gimbap. Producer Byung-seon Yoon then received papers from the writers around him and handed them to Woo-jin. In terms of content, there were some actual photos and some were drawn.
It feels like it roughly expresses the concept of ‘our table’.
-Palak.
As Woojin was looking at those papers, Producer Byungseon Yoon slightly leaned forward and continued speaking.
“I heard that the overseas location filming for ‘Island of the Missing’ starts tomorrow the 30th and lasts for a little over a month.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“According to Choi Dae-pyo, around October 17th during filming? “I heard you’ll be arriving for about a week due to the domestic schedule, so you’ll be filming around that time, right?”
“Is that so?”
Producer Byung-seon Yoon nodded and this time presented a transparent file.
“Well, I already talked to Choi Dae-pyo. This is the expected schedule – I’m looking at filming ‘1 Day Restaurant’ for about two days. “One day for pre-meeting with the cast and practicing cooking, and one day for running the store the next day.”
Is that the end without enough practice? It was almost Spartan. Is it natural since it’s an entertainment show? Anyway, it’s just practice, it’s all about getting a feel for it. Whatever it was, Kang Woo-jin was not particularly nervous about cooking practice.
‘Heh. I guess I have a recipe technique.’
Because I have acquired the skills of a chef through the grace of subspace. At this time, the female main writer sitting next to PD Yoon Byeong-seon was adding explanations about the filming.
“As the PD said, the search for a restaurant for ‘One-Day Restaurant’ has already been completed. First of all, it’s not Seoul. “Customers who will come to the surprise operation will of course receive applications – and there will not be more than 30 Cham Cham dishes like in the real Kimbap Heaven.”
“then?”
“For now, I’m only looking at about five. I’m going to look at what’s going on and decide whether to increase or decrease it. Just the basics. “Ramen, kimbap, tteokbokki, etc.”
indeed. Woojin felt fortunate. To be honest, if there were dozens of dishes like Kimbab Heaven, you wouldn’t be able to focus on what you’re good at. At this time, the main writer opened his mouth again, showing the tablet.
“You know this chef, right?”
A chef profile with a familiar face was being printed on the tablet. A character who often appears on entertainment shows. I’ve also seen Kang Woo-jin a few times on YouTube in the past.
“Yes, I’ve seen it on TV.”
“On that practice shooting day, a teacher was assigned to each part, and I hired this person for the cooking part. “The chef will come and teach you the basic recipes.”
“okay.”
Producer Byung-seon Yoon intervenes. The smile is mischievous.
“Of course, creativity can be added to the passed down recipe. “It feels like you’re making it yourself and having our staff do the tasting.”
“What if you ate it and it wasn’t good?”
“It’s out. But since this is going to be a food sold in the US, it doesn’t have to be edible in moderation. So, most likely, you will have to go with the recipe that has been handed down.”
It was natural. If you want to promote famous Korean food to foreign countries, it would be impossible to say that it was made properly. Producer Byung-seon Yoon added this.
“Well, honestly, have you ever seen something like that? On TV, a contestant shows an original dish, but it becomes so popular that it is sold on the market? “Other than that, it’s a bit difficult.”
Ah, you mean something like that? It’s vague, but I remember the same Woojin. Dishes other than ramen, pizza, and spaghetti that celebrities appear on various food programs are sold as actual products.
Producer Byung-seon Yoon changed the topic to Woo-jin, whose mouth was suddenly watering.
“Anyway, we’re going to film with these nuances, and that will take up about half of the first episode. However, not all performers have the same format. Kitchen hall counters and promotions. Each section will have different training and different positions. “That’s why.”
“I’m doing some cooking.”
However, before Producer Byung-seon Yoon finished his question, an indifferent Woo-jin intervened.
“I don’t think it’s bad.”
Thanks to this, PD Yoon Byeong-seon and the writers’ eyes widened slightly and soon a little laughter appeared. Because I thought I filmed a fun scene. Of course, everything is currently being filmed.
“Oh really? Is Woojin good at cooking? It’s something- I can’t imagine. No matter how you look at it, he doesn’t seem like the type of person who is good at cooking, right? Is it because it’s clunky? “What about you?”
When Producer Byung-seon Yoon asked the writers around him, four or five writers answered while looking at the silent Woo-jin.
“Ah- well, don’t you think you’ll just be flashy?”
“that’s right. Grumpily? “You’re just doing survival cooking?”
“But if you’re good at acting, vocals, foreign languages… and even cooking, you’re too fraudulent. “You don’t have to be able to do anything.”
Most of the expressions were that Woojin would just cook for himself. Producer Byung-seon Yoon’s eyes were also similar. Woojin, who thought it would be better to keep his mouth shut here, chose to remain silent. Producer Byung-seon Yoon then slowly nodded.
“Okay then Woojin, you’re in the kitchen. I think something that doesn’t look like it’s going to be cooked will attract more attention. “Whether the position will be main or assistant, it’s up to our staff to decide after trying it out on the day of filming!”
“So, is the entire kitchen confirmed?”
“Yes, Woojin, let’s go to the cooking department.”
He gave off a strange smile. Of course, the writers were the same. The sight of Kang Woo-jin failing solemnly.
“I’m looking forward to Woojin’s cooking.”
It was the face I wanted.
At the same time, inside a poorly organized office.
An office with numerous stacks of paper, various posters, books, etc. scattered all over the place. A desk placed in an office that at first glance resembles a garbage dump. The desk top is also a mess. However, what stood out was the frame with the ‘Profiler Hanryang’ poster inside.
A man is sitting at such a desk. A familiar beard. It was producer Song Man-woo. In other words, this is the new production company he opened.
“hmm.”
Anyway, producer Song Man-woo, whose face has become plump as if he has gained weight, is looking intently at the desk. The expression on his face is very serious.
“It was okay-”
As he muttered to himself, he saw two stacks of paper lying on top of each other. Of course it was a script. When I looked closely, it looked familiar. why? This is because the script for Part 2 was previously handed over to Kang Woo-jin and then returned.
So why is PD Song Man-woo struggling to look down the scripts?
Next, producer Song Man-woo.
“……”
Even as I looked down at the script, I recalled the phone call I had with Kang Woo-jin a few days ago after receiving the script back.
It started with the voice of producer Song Man-woo, full of anticipation.
“Oh! Have you seen everything??! how was it?”
When Kang Woo-jin returned, his answer was as cynical and clear as always.
“It was okay, PD.”
To producer Song Man-woo, this sounded a bit ambiguous.
“…was it okay?”
“yes.”
“Two?”
“yes. Both were fine. If I had to say it, ‘Praised Chef’ was a little better.”
Was it okay? Is this good or not? Producer Song Man-woo kept quiet for a moment and then asked back in a different way.
“Then what if I hand over these two scripts to Mr. Woojin? Do you think Woojin will do it? You can be honest. “It will happen anyway.”
“I’m not greedy.”
“ah.”
“sorry.”
“……”
Producer Song Man-woo, who came to his senses at the low-pitched apology, slowly shook his head.
“No, Woojin, what are you sorry about? Rather, you decided on Hanryang only after reading the first episode script, right?”
“yes.”
“But you’re saying it’s not these?”
“That’s right.”
Producer Song Man-woo, who returned to his office in reality, leaned back in his chair. And then a long sigh.
“Puhu, the fact that Gangtotem is like that means that both of these are bland.”
Producer Song Man-woo slowly wears his beard. Kang Woo-jin may not have said it in a negative way, but there was a hint of politeness. Probably, considering my relationship with producer Song Man-woo, I reduced the facts appropriately.
‘I thought I’d give it a try just because I heard that it was okay even if the totem didn’t activate. Huh – now that I hear it, I really don’t like it.’
What more?
‘If Mr. Woojin is not greedy, even if he goes through the process of revising the script… it is meaningless.’
Producer Song Man-woo’s blueprint had to include Kang Woo-jin. That’s why I showed the script to Kang Woo-jin first, even under the pretense of evaluating the script.
But doing this is like going backwards.
Thanks to this, producer Song Man-woo put the scripts he was reading into a desk drawer. And then, a serious expression deepened on his face.
“This won’t work. I’ll have to find it again.”
The next day, September 30th, at the airport.
It was a large airport with many planes flying in and out. However, the scenery is unfamiliar. There were foreigners, but not many, and there were quite a few Koreans, but not all. It was natural. Because this wasn’t Korea.
This airport was Da Nang International Airport in Vietnam.
Da Nang International Airport was crowded with a lot of people, and at this moment, a large group came out of the arrivals hall. Even at a glance, it was an unusual number of people. There were easily more than 50 people. This attracts the attention of people in the airport lobby.
Not only foreigners but also Koreans who are traveling.
“uh!! Hey there! Looks like Ryu Jeong-min?!”
“really?! where?”
“It’s over there! Arrival hall side! Say hello to that woman! “That guy behind you is Kang Woo-jin?!”
“crazy! Is it real??! ah! Let’s go! Filming ‘Island of the Missing’!”
“wow! Come quickly! “Look closer!”
It was true. That huge group was the real ‘Island of the Missing’ filming team. It was quiet in Da Nang, but there was already chaos once in Korea.
『[Star Talk] Ryu Jeong-min, Ha Yu-ra, Kim I-won, Jeon Woo-chang and Kang Woo-jin…Director Kwon Ki-taek’s ‘Island of the Missing’ division starts filming on overseas location/photos』 『
Incheon Airport crowded with ‘Island of the Missing’ teams』
『Crowded ‘Island of the Missing’
overseas location schedule has begun. ‘Island of the Missing’ has begun. Therefore, the huge crowd included dozens of staff members and leading actors, led by director Kwon Ki-taek. Soon, spectators began to gather around the ‘Island of the Missing’ teams. There are a lot of Koreans too.
“wow!! hello!!”
“Aaaah!! Ryu Jeong-min! Ryu Jeong-min!!”
“Oppa Woojin! “I have a ‘strong heart’!!”
“Hey, you’re crazy! “The proportions are crazy!”
“Isn’t it Kim I-won and Comrade Woo-chang behind me?!!”
Because there were so many top actors gathered together. Of course, there were supporting actors besides them, but the onlookers were busy just watching the top actors. Gradually, the ‘Island of the Missing’ team was in danger of becoming isolated due to the crowd of onlookers.
“wait a minute!! “I’ll pass by for a moment!!”
Dozens of men rushed to the airport entrance to create a path. A line PD in charge of overseas locations has appeared. Soon, the actors and the ‘Island of the Missing’ team leave the airport along the path made by the guards. Meanwhile, onlookers were busy taking pictures with their cell phones.
yet.
-Sigh.
The ‘Island of the Missing’ team arrived in front of several vans and minibuses parked right in front of the airport.
“You can board in turns! “I will move to my accommodation right away!!”
The ‘Island of the Missing’ team begins to get into the car one by one at the call of Line PD. Meanwhile, Kang Woo-jin, wearing a hat tightly pressed down, stands out.
“……”
He quietly looks around the airport with a poker face on. Although his face was extremely cold, he was racing on the inside.
‘Wow, Mr. Da Nang. Doesn’t this place still feel like a foreign country? Are all those trees palm trees?? Something! Something definitely smells like another country!’
Next, Kang Woo-jin’s first impression as he looked up at the murderous sunlight shining on his face was simple.
‘But isn’t it hot? crazy. I’m going to get old. I’m going to get old. ‘You’re acting here??!’
Next to Woojin, pony-haired Choi Seong-geon was wiping his sweat. His face is full of hell.
“Ugh- it’s hot, it’s hot, it’s murderous? Are you okay, Woojin?”
Kang Woo-jin’s answer was full of strength.
“That’s enough, CEO.”
‘Island of the Missing’ has entered overseas filming.
Seoul in about two weeks. October 17th.
The location is the living room of a luxurious house. An old man sitting at the head of a sofa in a living room with mostly wooden interior. Short white hair and a face full of wrinkles. In terms of age, he is much older than director Kwon Ki-taek. The force it gave off was also unique.
It exudes a bit of the power of an old man.
Next to him, a man in his 40s full of embarrassment was talking loudly.
“Director Ga. Anyway… wouldn’t it be difficult to find an actor who masters sign language? “You know that I usually just practice or use a double, right?”
“yes.”
“Yes, yes, and not all of the acting is in sign language, and isn’t there only dozens of cuts of sign language acting? For that purpose, I guess the point is to look for actors who have learned sign language – the director, actors learn foreign languages, including English, and do not learn sign language.”
“hmm.”
“Furthermore, isn’t this the director’s 100th film while aiming for international film festivals? “The condition is that your acting must be top-notch.”
“……”
The veteran manager fell silent at the man’s words. Just staring at the man. But why does it feel like a beast is quietly growling? Soon the man, who was sweating profusely, lowered his eyes and changed his tone.
“For now, I will do my best to find it.”
The veteran director suddenly took out his cell phone from his pocket and turned on something. Then he showed his cell phone to the man.
“Where is this friend now?”
The man tilted his head and focused his gaze on his cell phone. A YouTube video was being displayed on the cell phone. An edited version of a famous Japanese talk show. A scene where an actor converses in sign language with the audience.

‘Ame Talk show!’ It was Kang Woo-jin inside.
