I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 162

I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 162

( Renewal (1) )

Year-end. As the year comes to a close, everything gets busy.

In particular, the entertainment industry has become so hectic that it is noticeable. Not only broadcasters, but also the movie industry, entertainment, and even current affairs. There are quite a few events held only at the end of the year, and pilot programs with names such as special projects are also broadcast on TV.

This includes programs that are only aired during holidays or at the end of the year.

In fact, the entertainment industry started preparing for the end of the year in October. It started in earnest in November. Among them, the year-end finale is, of course, various awards ceremonies. Naturally, the schedules of celebrities, including actors, who will participate in the awards ceremony are bound to become tight.

Anyway, the Blue Dragon Film Festival, the most famous film festival in Korea, also started its activities, and the name of Kang Woo-jin, who debuted this year, came out of the mouth of the organizing committee chairman.

“It’s clear that Kang Woo-jin will sweep everything this year.”

Isn’t this also a first? New actors are usually quiet in the year they debut. Well, sometimes there are cases where a rising star attends the film festival itself, but it is safe to say that there are no newcomers that the head of a film festival like this would want to single out and invite.

“Everyone, including us, is probably trying to recruit Kang Woo-jin somehow, so let’s put some spit on him in advance.”

It was proof that Kang Woo-jin’s sensation this year was enormous, and Blue Dragon’s organizing committee staff helped to prove it.

“It will be 100% true. There is a rumor going around that MBS is calling Kang Woo-jin even though there is no program in particular that he is connected to.”

“Ah, I heard that too. Since Kang Woo-jin is so popular right now, are you going to show it off to the public?”

“To say Kang Woo-jin is rising is not enough. “Honestly, isn’t it unprecedented in history to create such a ripple effect in the year of debut?”

“Look at ‘Drug Dealer.’ When I looked at the box office earlier, I saw that the number of viewers exceeded 2.5 million. Strangely enough, it seems like anything is recorded when Kang Woo-jin is involved.”

The employees got a little excited and started spitting out Kang Woo-jin’s name, and the chairman of the table also nodded in approval.

“almost. No, it was definitely Kang Woo-jin’s year.”

“As the chairman said, even though we are still selecting award candidates, I think it would be a good idea to seal Kang Woo-jin’s recruitment as soon as possible.”

“That’s right, looking at the way the game is going, it looks like there will be a lot of trouble with Kang Woo-jin here and there, but if you look at Kang Woo-jin’s schedule, it will probably be resolved by next year.”

It was true. Currently, Kang Woo-jin’s schedule is full until at least the first half of next year. In the meantime, awards ceremonies have to be held at the end of the year. Thanks to this, the Blue Dragon Film Festival organizing committee became anxious.

“We should organize the contents as quickly as possible and hand them over to Kang Woo-jin, but we shouldn’t send it too cheaply.”

The reason they focus on the core of the year’s issue or the most talked-about actor was a simple reason. Public opinion and viewership ratings. Only then can advertisements continue to sell and money can be made smoothly. Tradition and reputation are a bonus.

The funny thing is.

『[Entertainment industry] As the end of the year approaches, the broadcasting and film industries are busy preparing for awards ceremonies.』

Currently, in the entertainment industry, we see many conversations and situations similar to Blue Dragon. It was only natural that it was time to start moving in earnest.

for example.

“You’ve all seen ‘Drug Dealer,’ right? In my opinion, Kang Woo-jin has the best ticket power this year.”

This was the case at the Daejong Film Festival, held around the same time as the Blue Dragon. Although it had a longer history than Cheongryong, it felt like it was lagging behind in terms of popularity, so the Grand Bell Sang was even more desperate.

“Kang Woo-jin, we have to do something to get him to sit down, understand?”

In other words, among the three major film festivals in Korea, the Blue Dragon and Grand Bell Awards showed extreme interest in Kang Woo-jin. The white elephant was similar, but still quiet. Among the three major film festivals, the Baeksang Awards will be held next year.

The film industry is so noisy, but would broadcasting be quiet?

No way. There was no other broadcaster that was reminiscent of Dottegi Market.

KBC is about to air ‘Freezing Love’.

“Did you invite Kang Woo-jin?!”

“Are you really calling me??”

“then? Hey, haven’t you told them yet??!”

“The only reason I’m calling it is ‘Frozen Romance’, but that’s because it only appeared as a special feature in episode 2…” “

That’s for later, man!! Just call me first! Even if it doesn’t work, keep trying!!”

SBC has already made a huge hit with ‘Profiler Hanryang’.

『How many awards will ‘Profiler Hanryang’, which raised viewership ratings by 25%, win at the SBC Drama Awards?』 『

Netizens of ‘Hallyang’, which established a legend this year, said, “‘Daeri Park’ won a hundred percent at the SBC Drama Awards”』

MBS also showed signs of casting. Compared to the other two broadcasters, the chances were slim. Anyway, the three public broadcasters were also putting a lot of effort into preparing for the end of the year, and the thing they all cried out for was ‘monster new actor’.

Woojin Kang.

In short, if Kang Woo-jin were to attend all the awards ceremonies at the end of this year, there would be at least four.

『[Planning] ‘Kang Woo-jin, who is making history with his debut’ Let alone how many awards he will win at the end of this year… Interested in whether he will break the record for the most awards』 This

was also the first time for a rookie.

backwards.

When the entire entertainment industry was putting boosters on their feet in preparation for the end of the year, Kang Woo-jin, the center of the sensation, was watching ‘Drug Dealer’ at a theater. Although it was his second viewing, Woojin felt that watching ‘Drug Dealer’ on the big screen felt different.

‘K-Of course, you should watch the movie at the movie theater.’

And once he appeared in the middle, he felt embarrassed. However, it was fun to see the reactions of visitors watching ‘Drug Dealer’ in the same theater.

especially.

“Aaaah!”

“Ugh!!”

In ‘Lee Sang-man’s first drug scene, many audiences were startled by intense thunder and lightning.

‘Wow, I almost screamed too!’

Kang Woo-jin feels a strange sense of pleasure. It was a strange picture. The audience chews popcorn while watching ‘Drug Dealer’, but Woojin puts the popcorn in his mouth while watching the movie and their reactions in real time. Today’s audiences wouldn’t even think that ‘Lee Sang-man’ is in the same space on the screen.

“Crazy Kang Woo-jin’s acting is creepy.”

“I know yeah. “Ah, I think I’ll remember that look at night.”

In that way, Kang Woo-jin left the theater before the end of ‘Drug Dealer’, and when he arrived home, he sent the proof photo he took to his agency along with SNS. Kang Woo-jin, who finished his work with difficulty, closed his eyes in bed and muttered.

“Okay, now just shut up and take a nap.”

I just fainted.

Then a few hours later.

Late that same night, pony-haired Choi Seong-geon was sitting in the representative office of BW Entertainment.

“……”

He was sitting in his seat with a serious expression on his face. Even though most of the employees had left work and the teams participating in the overseas location of ‘Island of the Missing’ were given two days of vacation, Choi Seong-gun did not rest.

That’s him.

-Sigh.

I focused my attention on the calendar filled with tiny letters on one side of the desk.

‘It’s November-’

For some reason, Choi Seong-geon was reflecting on the fact that the end of the year had arrived, and his eyes shifted to the huge stack of papers piled up on the table for six in front. These were the scripts and scenarios that Kang Woo-jin received. Not only that, there were numerous transparent files lined up in front of him.

These are all Kang Woo-jin’s recruitment cases and meeting requests.

There were also Hong Hye-yeon’s, but compared to the recent Kang Woo-jin, it was only a very small amount. Well, compared to other actors, Hong Hye-yeon’s power is ridiculously high, but Kang Woo-jin’s power is just ridiculously crazy.

Soon Seong-geon Choi opens a nearby cabinet.

– Sweet.

A thin file taken out from inside a cabinet. It was a contract. Whose contract is this?

“…Maybe it’s because Woojin was such a typhoon that it’s already so late.”

It was Kang Woo-jin’s. Choi Seong-gun, who was tying his ponytail tightly again, smiled a little forlornly and opened the contract. What he wants to check is the contract end date.

“March 15th next year.”

Now that this month has started, if you look at it, Kang Woo-jin’s contract period has already lasted four months. Woojin’s contract is for one year. It’s already well over halfway done. It was Choi Seong-geon who couldn’t even believe what was happening because so much had happened.

‘It’s ridiculous once again.’

I think back to the days that have passed. Now that I look back, it felt like a dream even though I had experienced it myself.

‘Roughly 8 months later…what on earth happened? ‘Common sense is destroyed, destroyed.’

For an average new actor, 5 years. No, Kang Woo-jin was able to accomplish things that would have been difficult even for 10 years in less than a year. If things continue like this without much noise, Kang Woo-jin will definitely be there.

“I will become an actor who leaves a mark that will be difficult for anyone to match. “Whether it’s domestic or overseas.”

It was obvious that I would be writing a history that would never happen again in the past or the future. The craving becomes vast. Greed grows stronger. Desire blinds my eyes. It was Choi Seong-gun’s story. No matter when, I hope that I will be the shadow of Kang Woo-jin’s glory.

but.

“…If this becomes known, the country will be turned upside down once again.”

Domestically and possibly even Japan. If news spread that Woojin’s one-year contract was nearing its end, it was obvious that agencies, starting with existing entertainers, would rush in with foam in their mouths.

so? Am I confident in defending it?

To be honest, even at the beginning of the contract with Kang Woo-jin, Choi Seong-geon had sky-high self-esteem. I thought I should use my connections and abilities to give Woojin a booster.

However, that was a hasty confidence.

“Did you know it would be this much of a monster?”

He was more than eccentric back then, but that was 1/100th of what Kang Woo-jin is now. I couldn’t even guess what else there was.

In addition, it is difficult to judge Kang Woo-jin’s current feelings.

From BW Entertainment’s satisfaction to plans after the contract period. Since Kang Woo-jin is clear on merits and demerits and understands everything, he would have come to an end long ago.

“Hmm-”

Of course, Kang Woo-jin’s ransom has skyrocketed. Of course, if various entertainment companies rush in after this contract ends, the price will jump several times more. Choi Seong-geon’s worries are gradually deepening.

Then.

“Okay, for now, let’s just focus on expanding the company and supervising Angabok.”

Choi Seong-geon made up his mind. Because at the moment, he still had an advantage over anyone else. Choi Seong-gun turned on the data he had been organizing in his laptop. Numerous preparations were made for the expansion of the company.

Investors to meet, PPT and schedule accordingly, etc.

At the same time, Director Gabok Ang’s survey sheet is also taken out. I still don’t know exactly how Kang Woo-jin feels, but I should be able to talk to him whenever I need to.

‘Besides, Director Anga Bok will definitely contact you again.’

At first glance, it looked like we would have to stay up all night, let alone rest. Still, Choi Seong-geon’s expression hardened. That monster.

“I risk my life.”

Because we have to risk our lives to catch an extraordinary new actor.

“Whether or not to catch Woojin will be the biggest inflection point in BW Entertainment. That guy might have given his answer a long time ago.”

Wrong. Kang Woo-jin just lies buried in bed.

“…Big-”

I was just taking a nap without thinking about anything else.

Two days later on November 6th. morning.

Kang Woo-jin got out of a van that had just parked in the parking lot of a luxury officetel in Seoul.

-Tung!

White short sleeves, knitted vest, jeans, short but natural hair and full makeup. Anyone could see that it was the attitude of taking pictures. Of course, the concept is also equipped.

‘Wow – how much better does this place look than my house?’

As Woojin secretly expressed his admiration, Choi Seong-geon and Woojin’s team began to gather. What’s unusual is that

-Squeak!

Immediately a large white van stops. Stepping out of the van leisurely was top actress Hong Hye-yeon, with her long, straight hair. She also wore full makeup and a sponsored designer shirt.

Why did the two actors gather at this luxury officetel?

Because there was a call from PD Yoon Byung-seon of ‘Our Table’. To be exact, it was a pre-filming for each team that had been decided a long time ago. The kitchen team, Woojin and Hong Hye-yeon, were a little late due to the overseas location of ‘Island of the Missing’, while other teams had already finished filming.

anyway.

“Shall we go?”

Hong Hye-yeon and Kang Woo-jin, with their straight hair tucked behind their ears, got into the elevator. Because there were so many people, the distance to her was very close. A nice scent fills Woojin’s nose. Kang Woo-jin, whose heart was pounding a little, desperately maintained his indifference.

-Ding!

Kang Woo-jin and Hong Hye-yeon rang the bell of the officetel they were guided to. Of course, there were small cameras installed at the entrance.

Following.

“Oh! Welcome!”

The front door soon opened, and the staff, including the glasses-wearing PD Yoon Byeong-seon and the writers, welcomed them. The interior of the luxury officetel was roughly larger than Woojin’s house. However, it was not the shape of a typical house. What can I say, business-like?

The reason was simple.

This officetel was the official office of the entertainment show ‘Our Table’. It was not an unusual case. Recently, it has been common for broadcasters to use officetels as offices. Anyway, only the cast members Kang Woo-jin and Hong Hye-yeon moved to the officetel living room, leaving out the team including Choi Seong-gun.

Settle into the soft sofa.

Soon, Kang Woo-jin slowly looked inside with a silent expression.

‘Ah- like this? ‘It’s kind of interesting.’

A board conference desk with tons of paper and letters attached, various entertainment props, and papers scattered around. It was the same scene as a broadcasting company’s entertainment department, only the space was different. It looked like filming had already begun, as there were small cameras lined up everywhere from the ceiling to the table in front.

By that time, PD Yoon Byeong-seon, who was among the writers, smiled and gave Woojin a thumbs up.

“‘Guy Friend’ is still a big hit, but you can’t stand it anymore and ‘Drug Dealer’ comes out again?”

Writers also praise it endlessly.

“that’s right! I saw that ‘drug dealer’! It was really fun, but when I saw the above, I thought it wasn’t Woojin??”

“me too. Really congratulations! I thought it would just be over 3 million! “It’s a request, but it’s really, really awesome!”

“congratulations! Back-to-back home runs following ‘Boyfriend’!”

Woojin’s embarrassment reached the extreme, but he tried to pour ice water on him.

“Thank you, but I’m a cameo.”

“Ah, looking at the article, the director of ‘Drug Dealer’ openly declared that he was a supporting actor.”

Hong Hye-yeon helps.

“There are quite a few supporting roles disguised as cameos. In some ways, this is a trick by the production team. “It’s the same thing.”

At this time, PD Yoon Byung-seon, who was rubbing his hands together, quickly changed the topic.

“Now, before we brief or do anything in earnest. Woojin, have you ever thought about the development dish I mentioned last time?”

Oh, that? Kang Woo-jin suddenly calmly looked toward the kitchen and spoke in a low voice.

“Can I use it?”
