I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 166
I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 166
( Gyeongshin (5) )
While Choi Seong-gun went to answer the phone, only Kang Woo-jin, director Ahn Ga-bok, and the representative of the film company remained in the representative office. The atmosphere is a bit heavy. Director Ga-bok Ahn and the CEO of the film company are just staring at Woo-jin across from them.
“……”
“……”
Kang Woo-jin was silently looking down at the first page of ‘Leech,’ which would be director Ahn Ga-bok’s 100th film. However, in a split second, director Ahn Ga-bok noticed a subtle change in Woojin.
‘Didn’t you just stop?’
That’s why the question was asked.
“why. “Is there anything you don’t like?”
However, Kang Woo-jin did not answer right away. Even as I look down at the ‘leech’ scenario, I’m just thinking of the situation in the subspace I entered a while ago.
A scenario added after a long time.
When entering the endlessly dark subspace, Woojin’s first line was short.
“The title of the movie is Leech? “It’s so simple.”
A brief thought on the title. Although the title was somewhat rough, it was difficult to guess the content. Well, you can read about that later. Kang Woo-jin checked the floating white square. The ‘leech’ one at the end of the list.
As soon as he saw it, Kang Woo-jin’s eyes widened slightly.
-[8/Scenario (Title: Leech) S-Class]
-[*This is a highly complete movie scenario. 100% reading is possible.]
S class. Because the movie ‘Leech’ had an S-class rating from the beginning. Woojin was purely impressed.
“Wow – as expected of a spirit creature.”
Indeed, director Ahn Ga-bok deserves to be called a legend in the Korean film industry. However, a question arises here. I know it’s great.
“But you said this film was competing at Cannes, right?”
To what extent does this ‘leech’ yield any results? If it was just released in theaters like ‘Drug Dealer’, you could judge it based on the number of viewers. But since you’re competing for Cannes, is that the only way to explode?
‘no. ‘It could be released after going to Cannes.’
‘Heungsinso’ was a short film, so I didn’t even think about releasing it, but ‘Leech’ was a feature-length film. There was a high possibility that it would be released in domestic movie theaters after competing at Cannes. According to Woojin’s research, the movie was released after being invited to the Academy Awards ceremony and after receiving adequate publicity.
In other words, it was a bit ambiguous to predict.
Then Kang Woo-jin put away his complicated thoughts. Wouldn’t it be great if either way was a hit? Maybe both will work out. At this point, Director Ahn Ga-bok, across the street, speaks again to Kang Woo-jin, who has stopped thinking in subspace. Tilting my head slightly.
“What’s wrong. Do you have any problem?”
Kang Woo-jin, with his old voice and poker face, silently shook his head.
“no. “I was just reading.”
“is it? “It’s just a moment, but what do you think?”
I don’t know yet. It was obvious because I didn’t read it properly. Simply, ‘This is precious, it’s S-class.’ I can’t even say that. Well, other top actors would say they liked it because it was director Ahn Ga-bok’s script, but Kang Woo-jin had a strong concept and decided to speak honestly.
“I’m not sure yet.”
A smile spread across Director Anga Bok’s wrinkled mouth, as if he had figured out Woojin’s tendencies.
“is it so. “It’s a bit premature to ask right away.”
Director Anga Bok, brushing his white-furred hair, changes the subject.
“Hmm, then shall we talk about something else first? There was a bit of back and forth in Da Nang. “You can just think of it as the fact that I really wanted you.”
“thank you.”
“There is nothing to be thankful for.”
Here, director Ang Bok’s relaxed eyes gained weight.
“I’m making an official request. I want Woojin to appear in my movie. “I’m very greedy.”
The baton was passed on to the head of the film company sitting next to director Anga Bok.
“As Mr. Woojin said in Da Nang, I understand that he is not particularly interested in the Cannes Film Festival. Also where the focus is. However, I am sure that with Kang Woo-jin’s current filmography, an Academy Award is impossible.”
“……”
“Of course, Mr. Woojin’s growth rate right now is at an unprecedented and crazy level. Nevertheless, if you follow the rules, you will easily get through 5 years. “Even top players with 10 to 15 years of experience can’t even cross the threshold.”
Woojin, who was listening to the explanation, shifted his gaze to director Angabok, who had his arms crossed. Soon, the corner of Old Man Yeongmul’s mouth rises slightly.
“Ah, only this friend and I know that Woojin is only interested in the Academy Awards. “CEO Jang is a more expert in that area than I am.”
So, grandpa? Where did that Academy Award come from? Woojin let out a long sigh. It was because illusions were overflowing right in front of my eyes. As expected, this spirit grandfather was the culprit. However, in this situation, it was an idiot to ask the old man a question.
They just force themselves to be calm and resolute.
“I will continue to listen.”
As Kang Woo-jin chanted in a low tone, the CEO of the film company continued his explanation.
“But if we perform at Cannes, things will change 180 degrees. “In some ways, it’s almost like an expedient method.”
Director Gabok Ang intervened.
“I’m asking you to use my movie as a guide. I miss you too. “How quickly Woojin reaches his goal.”
As the misunderstanding gradually worsened, Director Anga Bok pushed his body forward.
“The Cannes Film Festival is held around June every year. But I heard that next year, due to internal circumstances at Cannes, it will be pushed back to September. “For me, if I didn’t do well, I would have been pushed back to my later years.”
“thank god.”
Here, the CEO of the film company ended the conversation.
“But time is running out. Even if it is pushed back, it must be cranked in at least in January of next year, cranked up in June, and edited and submitted before September. However, there has already been an offer from Khan. This is because Director Ahn has often achieved good results at Cannes in the past. “Of course I will participate in the judging process, but advancing to the finals will be no problem.”
There is a series of detailed explanations. Woojin just acquires information with an indifferent face.
‘It’s so tight?’
There isn’t much time. Here, director Angabok’s old voice was heard.
“Don’t worry about what other people think or that it’s my 100th work, just think about Woojin’s future and make a decision.”
“I understand, Director.”
Following.
-Drop.
Director Ga-bok Ang stood up and the CEO of the film company followed. It means that everything that needs to be said is finished. Now all that’s left is Kang Woo-jin’s answer. At that time, Choi Seong-geon, who had gone out to talk on the phone, returned to the representative office.
“ah! Are you finished?!”
Director Ga-bok Ang, who smiled slightly, nodded.
“So, are you busy? “Please contact me when Woojin decides.”
“Yes yes! “Thank you, director.”
Director Angabok disappears just like that. Soon, the tension that prevailed in the representative office diminished. As proof, ponytail Choi Seong-geon let out a long breath.
“Whoa, Woojin, what do you think?”
“I don’t know. I’ll have to read the scenario first.”
“……okay. Then read it and let me know.”
“yes.”
“one more.”
Choi Seong-gun suddenly showed his cell phone to Kang Woo-jin. An article was being printed on the screen.
『[Exclusive] It turns out that ‘monster rookie’ Kang Woo-jin signed a one-year contract with BW Entertainment… Will he hit the free agent market early next year?』 Choi Seong-geon
became serious and continued.
“I still don’t know where it leaked, but that’s not really important right now. “It’s going to get noisy soon.”
“ah.”
Kang Woo-jin’s expression was calm, but inside he was a little surprised.
‘Eh? What? Ah, that’s right. I had a one-year contract, right?’
I seem to have forgotten. Choi Seong-gun, who had no way of knowing this, checked the time.
“First of all, I have to move my schedule. “Let’s talk about the details later.”
“Yes, CEO.”
I poured cold water on my urgent heart.
‘It’s okay, there’s still time. If you react hastily, you’ll fall over.’
Kang Woo-jin gave a clear answer.
‘But why did this become an article? ‘That’s strange.’
I couldn’t feel it yet.
after.
Kang Woo-jin moved to the recording studio to film for the ‘Kang Woo-jin Alternate Character’ channel. It was a place I gradually became accustomed to because it was a place where cover songs were recorded and videos were filmed on YouTube.
While Woojin was heading to the recording studio.
“Can we really talk about Woojin’s one-year contract?”
In the van parked in the parking lot, Woojin’s team, including Jang Soo-hwan and Han Ye-jeong, gathered together and were busy having a heated conversation. The subject, of course, was Kang Woo-jin.
“It just seemed like gossip. “A one-year contract really doesn’t make sense.”
“That’s true, but the atmosphere is a bit awkward so it’s difficult to ask.”
“I’m sure Woojin saw the article, but he didn’t say anything.”
“The number of articles continues to increase, but the CEO has also been quiet, right?”
The rumor about Woojin’s one-year contract that surfaced in the morning emerged as an issue of unprecedented interest to them as well.
“But what happens to us if that article is true?”
“No, Woojin oppa is going crazy, right? A rookie is a rookie, right? “Don’t rookies usually sign contracts for 5 to 7 years?”
At this time, Han Ye-jeong, with short blue hair, joined in with a cold tone.
“Does anyone know the casting process for Woojin?”
“……”
“……”
“Nothing, right? So, let’s just wait and not get excited.”
Meanwhile, Kang Woo-jin was meeting at the recording studio. The members are the ‘Kang Woo-jin alt-character’ channel team, producer, and Choi Seong-gun. Since the ‘Kang Woo-jin alt-character’ channel has already become huge, he had to stock up on videos whenever he had the chance.
Today, we plan to cover selected pop songs and JPOP in Korean.
For reference, the current subscribers to the ‘Kang Woo-jin alt-character’ channel are:
[Channel name: Kang Woo-jin’s alt character]
[5.87 million subscribers]
[17 videos]
It had surpassed 5.8 million. Domestic fans also did the same due to issues such as ‘Drug Dealer’, but due to the success of ‘Male Friend’, more fans from Japan came in. Of course, thanks to videos covering KPOP in English, comments in English also increased significantly.
The number of views of the uploaded videos was still enormous.
-【(6)Miley Cara/’Absolute’】Cover [Korean. [Ver]｜Kang Woo-jin
Alternate – 6.12 million views
Although each video has different tastes, 5 million views were the basic standard. Maybe that’s why the ‘Kang Woo-jin Alternate’ channel team was excited between meetings. Especially the main PD.
“The video uploaded this time is also great! I think I liked the curved star! Choosing ‘Miley Kara’ was a godsend!”
The producer in front of the recording equipment also helps.
“‘Miley Cara’ is also a genius. “My main job is learning, and I am considered top-tier in Hollywood, but my position as a singer has been solidified after appearing in a musical film.”
“iced coffee! Is that what happened? “I thought Miley Kara originally debuted with two jobs as an actress and a singer.”
“No. If you look at Hollywood, there are some kids like that. Working together as an actor and a singer. Instead, after he had established himself as an actor, he came to prominence as a singer a little later.”
‘Miley Cara’? It was a name that Woojin, who was just listening silently, knew. What was it? Was he a very popular actor in Hollywood? I also heard that they have a big fan base in Korea as well. Even so, it is only shallow knowledge.
At this time, Choi Seong-geon, who was looking down at his diary, joined in.
“A cover request came in. No, there are a lot of requests for covers these days. From idols to mid-level singers, etc. So much so that I have to filter it out.”
“ah! Right, you told me that last time, right? So who asked for this time?”
“Lee Jeong-ah.”
“Lee Jeong-ah! Is this really Lee Jeong-ah??!”
Lee Jeong-ah was a top singer despite being a female soloist.
“Well, it feels like everyone knows the content. “A new song is coming out, so this request doubles as promotion.”
Currently, the ‘Kang Woo-jin alt-character’ channel has become powerful, so it was natural for people to come rushing in from all over the place. Anyway, the topic changed in the meeting that followed. Of course, it came from the mouth of ponytail Choi Seong-geon and was related to Woojin’s ‘cooking’.
“As for the cuisine, let’s look at it and narrow it down to three. “Woojin, you cook while teaching recipes to your subscribers, invite guests and cook whatever they want while talking, and avatar cooking.”
Kang Woo-jin asked back indifferently.
“Avatar cooking?”
“huh. “It’s an idea that comes from calling a guest, but to put it simply, the invited guest is the avatar and you only verbally inform them behind the scenes.”
“Ah-”
“What do you think?”
“I think it’ll be okay.”
Choi Seong-geon smiles sarcastically.
“It wouldn’t be like that if a guest showed up who couldn’t cook, right? “You can only talk to guests.”
In other words, the key point was the frustrated appearance of Kang Woo-jin behind the guests.
“It’s kind of entertainment-oriented content.”
As a result, the ‘Kang Woo-jin alt-character’ channel was largely divided into two. Cover and dishes. Even within that major category, the content branched out into smaller categories. If you estimate the content of the cover and cooking alone, there are more than ten.
“So Woojin, who would you like to be the first guest for cooking?”
“Anyway, Hwarin.”
“Um, right. It is also meaningful because it is the first song on the ‘Kang Woo-jin alt-character’ channel. Okay, I’ll send a casting request to Mr. Hwarin right away. What about the avatar?”
“I do not know.”
“Okay, I’ll decide on that as well, then?”
“Yes, CEO.”
After the meeting was over, Kang Woo-jin entered the recording booth. It was to shoot a cover video, and just as preparations for filming had begun, the main PD of the ‘Kang Woo-jin Alternate Character’ channel secretly asked Seong-gun Choi.
“Um…representative. I saw Woojin’s article. Are you really transferring early next year?”
Seonggun Choi’s answer, as he stared at Woojin in the booth with his arms crossed, was short.
“You don’t have to worry about it.”
“Ah-yeah, I’m just a little worried. Hahaha, it’s also an abusing article, right?”
This moment.
-Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
Choi Seong-geon’s cell phone in his jacket pocket let out a long vibration. When I looked at the caller, it was Hong Hye-yeon. Soon Seong-gun Choi comes out into the hallway outside the studio and puts his cell phone behind him.
“uh. why.”
Hong Hye-yeon’s excited voice can be heard right away.
“brother!! Mr. Woojin, did your brother shoot this article??!”
“Did I turn around?”
“But why did this pop up??”
“H-I don’t know, dude.”
“What if you don’t know??”
Hong Hye-yeon was an investor in BW Entertainment. Although he was worried about Woojin, he was also very concerned as an investor in the company.
“Why…why is this? What did Woojin say?!”
“You know Woojin’s personality. “There is no word on this.”
“……Woojin, if you’re like Carl, you would have made your decision a long time ago, right?”
“yes.”
It wasn’t like that at all. Kang Woo-jin did not have any thoughts regarding the current contract.
“Oppa Woojin, what were the terms of the one-year contract?”
“You can first experience what our BW Entertainment tastes like with a one-year contract at a 9:1 ratio with a down payment of Sacheon. “I told them to decide later whether to extend it or not.”
During that one year. No, to be exact, in less than a year, Kang Woo-jin’s body became a monster. Perhaps that’s why Hong Hye-yeon’s voice over the phone was slightly urgent.
“…But if you haven’t said anything yet, does that mean you don’t like us that much?”
“I don’t know. Who knows what Woojin is thinking? Now that things are like this, I have to move faster than I originally planned. I’ll do my best. But as you know, Woojin’s schedule is crazy, so other entertainment companies can’t approach him too quickly.”
“Still, war will break out. It’s as if a large-scale announcement was made with this one article. You know my brother, right? “We have to catch Woojin even if he dies.”
“Oh, I know. “Because the value has increased more than 100 times.”
With the main actor and YouTube channel and other big names around social media, they are aiming to enter Japan and even win an Academy Award. What about your vocal, cooking, language, etc. abilities? Choi Seong-geon, who was watching right next to him, could not have known this.
“For now, we are gathering as many bullets as possible.”
Morning two days later. Nonhyeon-dong GGO Entertainment.
Several people have gathered in the representative office of the very large GGO entertainment company since morning. Not only the executive-level employees, but also the bulldog sitting at the head of the five-person sofa. No, it’s CEO Seo Seo-seop, who was criticized by Kang Woo-jin for the ‘Mise-en-scène Film Festival’ issue in the past.
They were all looking down at their tablets.
Then.
“Director Kim, have you checked this article?”
In response to a question from CEO Seo Seo-seop, who was sitting at the head of the sofa, the executive sitting next to him lowered his head.
“Yes, CEO. “The media seems to be almost certain.”
“okay? “Then I’m saying it’s not a joke-”
“The movements of other entertainers are also unusual.”
“They’re getting ready to pounce a long time ago.”
Then CEO Seo Seo-seop laughed and remembered Choi Seong-geon with ponytails.
“1 year? They kept that monster in captivity for only one year? “Is this idiot Choi Seong-gun’s brain broken?”
He had a slightly mean smile.
‘The reason is none of my business. At this point, Kang Woo-jin needs to swallow that.’
I muttered to myself.
‘200 million, or at least 300 million won?’
