I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 158
I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 158
(Solo (5))
Kang Woo-jin confirmed the current status of the ‘drug dealer’ in his room in Danang, Vietnam.
“It really turned…”
I was purely amazed. Because I woke up, my hair was all bald, but my eyes were big and vivid. Because there was a shiver running through me.
“Crazy 1 million? “The number of viewers is 1 million??”
Even when the number of viewers exceeded 250,000. These were all numbers that Kang Woo-jin had never seen before, and he was surprised. However, because I knew the level of subspace, I didn’t have a major seizure. However, when I saw with my own eyes that the number of viewers exceeded 1 million, the resonance itself was different.
“Wow, Mr. “It’s a dog place.”
First commercial film. The movie’s box office success. The pictures I always saw in articles or on TV turned out to be reality, and I was one of the main characters in that reality. As Kang Woo-jin, whose inner self is a small citizen, it was a situation that was enough to give him goosebumps.
Is that why?
-Sigh.
Kang Woo-jin slowly lowered his cell phone and suddenly laughed.
“This taste. “I guess this is why you become an actor.”
This thrill or huge sense of accomplishment you feel right now. Woojin expressed, to some extent, the feelings of many top actors around him. It’s so fucking hard, but at this moment, all the hardship is gone. Next, Woojin, who was sobbing like a crazy person, recalled the subspace level of ‘Maakxiang’.
-[4/Scenario (Title: Drug dealer) Class A]
Class A. The grade of ‘Drug Dealer’ given by Aspace was A, and it is difficult to clearly predict the result of a commercial film since it is the first time.
“3 million…or maybe 5 million?”
It was Kang Woo-jin who imagined up to 5 million viewers. Maybe more. In other words, more than 1 million, but 3 or 5 million people saw Kang Woo-jin’s acting. Here, Woojin guessed one thing.
‘Ah, ‘Drug Dealer’ didn’t get higher than A level because he was hired?’
A ‘drug dealer’ who wasn’t invited might have been even greater. Well, he’s already showing off his mighty power. Here, something suddenly occurred to Woojin.
“W-Wait a minute. If Class A is worth more than 5 million-”
If a class A ‘drug dealer’ gets more than 5 million, what about the grades higher than that? Woojin thought of the movies he was working on.
-[3/Scenario (Title: Island of the Missing) S+ grade]
-[7/Scenario (Title: Strange Sacrifice of a Stranger) S+ grade]
As of now, these were S+ grade movies, the highest grade in subspace, and Woojin’s eyes widened slightly. I muttered without realizing it.
“How many audiences does S+ class attract?”
backwards.
Kang Woo-jin, who tried to suppress his intense emotions, left the room in time for the standby time for ‘Island of the Missing’. I encountered Choi Seong-geon in the hotel lobby, and the team, including pigtail-haired Choi Seong-geon, Han Ye-jeong, and Jang Soo-hwan were already waiting.
Of course, everyone had just confirmed the news about the ‘drug dealer’.
“Oh my, our Kangstar is entering.”
Congratulations began to pour out to Woojin, who had a poker face on.
“older brother! Congratulations on your first million!!”
“Congratulations, brother.”
“very! “I think this is going to be a huge hit! Drug dealer!”
It’s almost like dancing. Of course, Kang Woo-jin also wanted to leave his body to their rhythm, but he held back. Instead, it radiated cold air.
“It’s all thanks to everyone’s hard work.”
Soon, Kang Woo-jin and his team boarded the van waiting in front of the hotel. This car was used to travel to the filming location of ‘Island of the Missing’, and as soon as we left, the stylists who were applying sunscreen opened their mouths.
“brother! You like it, right?? No, it’s 1 million in just 3 days of release!”
“that’s right! “If it were me, I would have been searching on my phone the whole time!”
Han Ye-jeong, who was opening her coordination book, joined in coldly.
“I’ll guess your lines. ‘I’m happy.’”
Kang Woo-jin agreed lowly.
“answer.”
While the hubbub was going on, Choi Seong-geon, who had been looking at his cell phone while sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head. The smile on his lips is deep.
“Woojin. No, Kangsta? “I guess we’ll have to film a few more commercials when we return to the country after finishing overseas?”
“Is that so?”
“That’s right. From inquiries, recruitment has exploded. When I get back, I’m going to use YouTube and other things to prepare for the end of the year. Ah, but I’ll take a break for a day or two.”
Call call call. Woojin nodded vigorously on the inside, but on the outside he acted like he was strong.
“It’s no problem to go back to your schedule right away.”
“You must be a monster. Me and the kids are half broken right now? “Let’s get some rest.”
“Yes, CEO.”
“And you got a call from director Kim Do-hee this morning? If ‘drug dealers’ continue to rise at this rate, the BEP (break-even point) will likely be easily overlooked. What is BEP? The way I see it, if you’re a ‘drug dealer’ and you’re good at this, you make money. Anyway, I think director Kim Do-hee will take care of you around the time of settlement. “It’s a bonus concept, so you can think of more than twice the original appearance fee?”
“ah.”
“But even if director Kim Do-hee didn’t tell me, I was going to run the show.”
When Kang Woo-jin signed the contract for ‘Drug Dealer’, there was a ransom negotiation and it was a little different from a normal cameo contract. In the first place, Woojin seemed to have rescued the ‘drug dealer’ when it was in a bad state, and it included the momentum of Kang Woojin, who was rising at the time. Therefore, the nuance was at the supporting level.
In other words, director Kim Do-hee will receive a bonus of more than 100% of the existing appearance fee plus.
It was at least in the billions.
Kang Woo-jin, whose mind quickly became a flower garden, desperately tried to keep the corners of his mouth from twitching. Choi Seong-geon, who had no way of knowing this, quickly changed the subject. For some reason, his face changed to a serious one.
“That’s it, Woojin. There is a director, Gabok Ang, right? No matter how you look at him suddenly appearing in Vietnam, it looks like he came to see you, right?”
Was it like that? To be honest, Kang Woo-jin also expected it a little bit. Because my leg was hit hard.
‘I came to Vietnam after contacting the CEO saying he wanted to see me.’
However, Kang Woo-jin’s inspiration was faint. Even though he was a top actor and director Ahn Ga-bok, who was respected by the film industry, he just felt like the grandfather next door to Kang Woo-jin, and Woo-jin felt uncomfortable with him.
‘Old man. No, that old man’s eyes are a bit cocky.’
The questions asked at the restaurant the other day were also very meaningful. A very dangerous person. Soon, Kang Woo-jin nodded calmly.
“I thought so.”
“hmm. “You probably know because you’ve already had a conversation with director Angabok, but as the rumor has already spread among the actors, director Angabok will probably show up for today’s filming.”
“Yes, representative.”
“Relatedly, I looked here and there to find out about Director Gabok Ang’s recent status.”
Choi Seong-gun, slightly lowering his voice, muttered.
“It’s not certain, but it seems like director Ang Bok is aiming for the ‘Cannes Film Festival’ with his 100th film.”
‘Cannes Film Festival’. This awards ceremony is considered one of the world’s three most prestigious international film festivals. It was a film festival attended by movie monsters from all over the world, including Hollywood.
“You know, right? Director Ahn Ga-bok won the Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival in early 2000, and several of his works have since been nominated. The actors who appeared also occasionally won awards. “Director Ahn Ga-bok is just a legend.”
no? Not at all. It was the first time he had heard this information, but Kang Woo-jin nodded without thinking about it.
“Please continue.”
“There is no information at all about the script or content of director Ahn Ga-bok’s 100th film, but what he is aiming for at the Cannes Film Festival is probably the grand prize, the Palme d’Or.”
“…sign language.”
“uh?”
“Director Gabok Ang asked me about sign language.”
“Sign language?”
“yes. “I remember it because it was a bit out of the blue.”
“Sueo- Sueo…Hmm.”
Pigtail Choi Seong-geon rubbed his chin and opened his mouth.
“Director Angabok couldn’t have asked a meaningless question.”
Then, Choi Seong-gun flashes.
“Recently, Woojin’s connection to your sign language has been made known in the media in Korea, Japan, and elsewhere, right? There may be an acting part, but did director Angabok fall in love with it after seeing sign language? “Then there may be a high possibility that the work I’m preparing this time will include some part of sign language.”
“……”
“Well, the actor who speaks sign language is unique. No, almost none in Korea. Moreover, director Ang Bok is the type of person who risks his life on everything that is included in his work. “If all the guesses are correct, Woojin deserves to be greedy for you.”
Well, I’m not that good? On the other hand, Kang Woo-jin didn’t really like director Ahn Ga-bok’s work. Well, I haven’t seen his screenplay yet, but my instincts were telling me. Director Gabok Ang is dangerous.
‘I don’t know if it’s Khan or Khan, but let’s avoid that spirit grandfather for now. I don’t like the feeling of being seen through something.’
If other actors heard this, they would call him an idiot, but for Kang Woo-jin, the concept was several times more serious than the Cannes Film Festival.
escape? Yes, that’s right.
Kang Woo-jin was starting to slightly avoid director Anga-bok, and Choi Seong-geon, who was watching Woo-jin for some reason, tied his ponytail again and cleared his throat.
“hmm! U-Woojin, I’m just asking you just in case. “Do you also have a desire to attend the Cannes Film Festival?”
Woojin, who was looking calmly at Choi Seong-geon, answered lowly. It was a strange answer.
“I do not know.”
“Is there something you don’t know?”
“There is.”
“……”
Choi Seong-geon closed his mouth and muttered to himself.
‘Ha-Mr. If Woo-jin criticizes Director Ga-bok Ang… even if it’s just one thing in a thousand times, he’s going to buy something really big.’
There was a mixture of earnestness.
Meanwhile, at the same time.
Similar to Kang Woo-jin’s team, a group of people can be seen moving to the ‘Island of the Missing’ filming location in a van. An old man who is not used to cars. It was still the same shorts, but today it was Director Ang Bok who wore sneakers instead of slippers.
“……hmm.”
He was looking out the clearly sweltering window with his arms crossed, and he took off the safari hat he was wearing as if he felt a little stuffy. Short hair covered in gray hair is revealed. Surrounding Director Gabok Ang were the CEO of a film company with red faces and five employees.
The atmosphere was calm.
While everyone was doing their own thing, such as looking at their phones or viewing transparent files, it was the head of the film company who broke the silence in the car.
“Director.”
Director Ga-bok Ahn, with his eyes outside the window, calmly responded to the representative’s call.
“okay.”
“Are you going to talk about our work right after seeing Kang Woo-jin’s acting form today?”
“well.”
“I think I should try sign language at least once. “The atmosphere, balance, etc. may be different from what the director thinks when you see it in person.”
It wasn’t wrong, but director Gabok Ang had a different opinion.
“Hey there you are.”
Director Ga-bok Ang calls the representative of the film company. Although it is a quiet tone, the charisma of the veteran is deep inside.
“I understand the intention, but it has been too urgent since last time. “I must have told you several times to fix that impatient personality.”
“Ah…I’m sorry. “When I thought I was actually seeing Kang Woo-jin, I was in a bit of a hurry.”
“Director Kwon has already given us enough consideration. But do you go to the filming set and ask me to use the sign language needed for my work? “Is that the audition room?”
“…I made a mistake.”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s just a simple question, but going into it in depth is a nuisance.”
“Yes, Director.”
Director Anga Bok, who was looking at the head of the film company with his head down, muttered to himself.
‘Today, Kang Woo-jin’s good judgment and appropriate attention to his actions with the TOPs will be enough. ‘His mysterious essence is both an advantage and an insult.’
The representative cleared his throat slightly and changed the subject.
“Probably Kang Woo-jin noticed to some extent. I met him in Vietnam after giving him advice in advance. “And Choi Seong-geon is the representative.”
“There are not many people like him in this world.”
“Information about our film is strictly confidential, but we can probably guess that it is targeting the Cannes Film Festival. “CEO Choi, that guy is so lazy.”
“I don’t mind the arrangement. “There were some rumors about it.”
The CEO of the film company laughed haha, probably trying to lighten the mood.
“Still, if you hear that you’re interested in being an actor in the director’s work, won’t you be so surprised that Kang Woo-jin is such a rookie? “I will do it right away hahaha.”
I paid attention to the employees around me. It means to follow along. In response, the film company employees quickly opened their mouths.
“of course! No, tops like Ryu Jung-min, Hayura, and Hong Hye-yeon from ‘Island of the Missing’ are waiting to receive scripts, so what can I say if they’re rookies?”
“Haha, by the way, Kang Woo-jin’s luck has exploded this year. Less than a year after his debut, director Ki-taek Kwon was followed by director Kyotaro. What’s more, you even received attention from director Ga-bok Ahn.
“No matter how much Kang Woo-jin is flying around right now, if this is director Ahn Ga-bok’s 100th film, it’s a waste of time to even think about it!”
Perhaps because it was a satisfactory assist, the CEO of the film company gave a concluding comment.
“I’m worried that Kang Woo-jin might even bow down to me during the Cannes Film Festival. ha ha ha.”
A few tens of minutes later, the filming location of ‘Island of the Missing’.
In a lush forest in Danang, Vietnam. A place with frequent birdsong, tall trees with insects flying everywhere, nameless grass, and a soggy floor.
Kang Woo-jin has just arrived at the filming location.
The current time is 10 am. Woojin arrived at the scene first among the actors. Naturally, hundreds of staff members were running around frantically for the 11 o’clock standby. Meanwhile, a warm-hearted director Kwon Ki-taek was also seen.
“The rail there is crooked!! Wake!”
“sorry!”
“Director! Director!! “Please check the floor here!!”
“Okay, I’m going now.”
“Oh, it’s so hot! “I’m going for a drone test!!”
“okay!”
“There’s 1 hour left in standby! “I’ll hurry!!”
Since there was so much war going on, Woojin decided to say hello later. I had already announced my arrival to several staff members at the entrance, and this happened often. Soon his team, including Kang Woo-jin, was scattered. Choi Seong-gun is among the staff, and Han Ye-jeong and other stylists are part of the art team. The only one left next to Woojin was Jang Su-hwan. Even that.
“older brother! “The costumes are ready, so I’ll go and call the makeup team!”
“please.”
He ran somewhere, showing off his massive size.
‘Ha- It’s really hot as hell.’
Next, Woojin, who was crying internally, wiped his sweat and moved his feet. It was one of the large tents where the actors were waiting.
‘I guess I’ll live a little longer.’
Fortunately, it was cool inside the tent thanks to the cooling fan that was operating. After a while, Woojin, dressed in military uniform, sat down on a chair in the tent.
-Attic.
It’s an ordinary military uniform now, but after the makeup was put on, it was going to turn into a rag with blood and dirt. Whatever it was, Kang Woo-jin posted a thick ‘Island of the Missing’ scenario on his desk.
‘It’s essential to rest before starting.’
It was at this time.
-Sureuk.
Suddenly the tent tent opened and the face of a familiar old man came in.
“hmm? “Is it just you?”
It was director Angabok, wearing a safari hat and shorts. Kang Woo-jin stopped at his sudden appearance and shouted inwardly.
‘What the hell! This young man was like that at the last restaurant! ‘Why aren’t there any blinkers?!’
He calmly stood up with a cold mask on the outside and lowered his head.
“Hello, Director.”
“Okay, nice to see you again.”
As he gave a wrinkled smile, several more men entered behind Director Ang Bok. About 4 people. Film company representatives and employees. Of course, all of them and Kang Woo-jin exchanged appropriate greetings. Meanwhile, Woojin.
‘Ah-Mr. I don’t know, it’s dangerous. Let’s jump for now.’
In order to avoid being directed by Yeongmul Angabok, he solemnly made up nonsensical words.
“Please rest and I will talk to Director Kwon Ki-taek. “I need to get dressed up soon.”
However.
“you.”
Director Ahn Ga-bok stopped Kang Woo-jin in his tracks with a calm tone. There was an old man’s smile on his lips.
“Are you interested in the ‘Cannes Film Festival’?”
Given the timing of the question, this definitely smelled like an opportunity. But for some reason, Kang Woo-jin’s face became more indifferent and rigid, and his answer was dry and quick.
“No, I’m not particularly interested.”
At that moment, Director Gabok Ang’s eyebrows twitched.
