I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 167
I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 167
( Gyeongshin (6) )
The bulldog was muttering to himself that it was 200 million or 300 million. No, CEO Seo Seo-seop. In fact, his first meeting with Kang Woo-jin was not that good. With the appearance of Kang Woo-jin, everything related to the ‘Mise-en-scène Film Festival’ was taken away.
Of course, that was CEO Seo Seo-seop’s opinion alone.
Anyway, since then, Kang Woo-jin has been on the rise to the point where the word “crazy” is appropriate, and all GGO Entertainment’s CEO Seo Seo-seop could do was just watch.
‘Honestly, it was annoying the whole time, but it must have come out so often.’
Even after the ‘Mise-en-scène Film Festival’, Kang Woo-jin’s issues continued to explode. Starting with Hanryang and recently Japan and ‘drug dealers’. CEO Seo Seo-seop was also speechless, and as the head of the large corporation GGO Entertainment, he also witnessed an actor like Kang Woo-jin for the first time in his life.
He was a businessman.
A person who leads a huge entertainment company in this jungle-like entertainment industry. So at this point, it was natural to be greedy rather than attack Kang Woo-jin. But there was no gap.
The funny thing is.
‘One year contract? If you do this, the story will be different.’
A truly unexpected side road has opened up. As a result, Bulldog CEO Seo Seo-seop’s mind was filled with thoughts of swallowing up Kang Woo-jin.
‘The down payment alone is 300 million won. Aside from the ancillary bonuses. ‘This should be enough to get his attention.’
The contract fee for a top actor who reigns supreme is roughly between 500 million and 1 billion won. The down payment of 300 million won plus other bonuses were equivalent conditions. Even if you beat a rookie to death, you can’t stick to him.
Next, CEO Seo Seo-seop made eye contact with the executives in front of him.
“Does everyone know?”
“yes??”
“I mean Kang Woo-jin. “Looking at this guy since his debut until now, I can see that he hasn’t failed in anything he’s tried.”
“Ah, come to think of it.”
“I’m strangely lucky.”
Bulldog CEO Seo Seo-seop, with a deep smile, gives instructions.
“Now that it has exploded so openly, everyone from the big guys to the shitty entertainment companies are going to rush to Kang Woo-jin. He’s a bit different from the average actor, and he has explosive power in every path he walks. So, make sure you keep track of entertainment trends.”
“I understand, CEO!”
Greed and desire are rampant in the air.
“We have to bring Kang Woo-jin back somehow this time.”
Inside the white van driving on the road at this time.
Hwarin, who was moving to the shop, had almost a raw face without makeup. Either way, she kept looking down at her phone.
What she sees is Kang Woo-jin’s fan club ‘Strong Heart’.
-[Official/Welcome to Kang Woo-jin’s official fan cafe ‘Kang Heart’!]
-CEO Manager: A flesh and blood woman.
Currently, more posts are being poured into the ‘Strong Heart’ fan cafe than usual. The reason was simple.
‘Wow, what kind of post is written every second… Actually, I was surprised when I saw the article about Woojin’s one-year contract.’
Of course, it was because of the recently published article by Kang Woo-jin. Normally, the expiration of a rookie’s contract would be a news story, but if the main character was Kang Woo-jin, it was understandable, and the same was true for Hwarin.
‘But is it real? Oh, I’m curious! I can’t ask out loud.’
Even Hwarin’s agency, JML Entertainment, was moving to recruit Kang Woo-jin after hearing the news. Whatever it is, the issue of ‘Kang Woo-jin’s contract expiration’ has rapidly emerged among entertainment industry entertainers.
Hwarin was somewhat disturbed by this.
‘What if- I really think it would be perfect if Woojin came to our company… but when I think about Hyeyeon, it’s not like that. ‘Ha, I don’t know.’
If Kang Woo-jin were to join the same agency, she would receive a boost to her vast skills, but it was Hwa-rin who had the glowing face of her close older sister, Hong Hye-yeon.
at that time.
-♬♪
The cell phone in her hand let out a ringtone. What’s unusual is the caller’s name displayed on the screen.
“uh?”
The opponent, oddly enough, was CEO Seong-gun Choi. what? Hwarin, who was anxious, calmed her voice and put the cell phone to her ear.
“Yes, hello, CEO.”
The staff, including the manager, who was riding in the van, paid attention to her voice, and Choi Seong-gun’s calm voice was heard through Hwarin’s cell phone.
“Hello, Hwarin. “You called me too suddenly, right?”
“Ah, it’s okay, just tell me.”
“It’s nothing else. “I have a casting request for Woojin regarding the ‘Kang Woojin Alternate’ channel.”
Hwarin’s eyes sparkle. It was because of Choi Ae’s huge YouTube channel.
“…recruitment? “Maybe it’s a cover song duet?”
“no. “This is still public, but new content will be added to the ‘Kang Woo-jin alt-character’ channel.”
“Not vocals? “Which one?”
“As you probably know from ‘Our Table’ with Woojin, I plan to do cooking content. Woojin recommended Hwarin as the first guest.”
For a moment, Hwarin’s heart was pounding.
‘I’m crazy.’
When filming the restaurant on the 1st for ‘Our Table’, Hwa-rin had already tasted Kang Woo-jin’s cooking. And I fell in love even more. You can see it one-on-one? Hwarin, who wanted to run wild, tried to hide her excitement as best as she could.
“really? But can you tell me what the content feels like?”
“Sure.”
Choi Seong-gun’s explanation over the cell phone began. It is not detailed, but the key points are included. In addition to a one-on-one talk with Woojin, Kang Woojin personally cooks the dish you want. This is followed by a picture of people eating the finished dish together.
‘Hey, this is just like a date!’
It was like a blessing to Hwarin, whose fans were at a religious level. Perhaps that’s why her answers were quick and her pupils were slightly dilated.
“I will.”
The fat general manager sitting in the passenger seat spoke with his mouth.
‘What? What did you say you were doing?’
Regardless, Hwarin continued talking to Choi Seong-gun over the cell phone.
“It’s possible because it’s close to the break anyway.”
“Hahaha thank you. “Then can I adjust my schedule to Woojin’s?”
“I’ll have to talk to the company too, but it might be possible.”
“Then I will contact you about the schedule. “First of all, I wanted to ask Hwarin about his intentions.”
“Thank you for inviting me to your 5 million YouTube channel.”
“Then I’ll see you at the shoot-”
“Yes, CEO.”
Hwarin answered calmly and slowly lowered her phone. At the same time, the head manager urgently asked:
“Hey, what schedule did you just make??”
Hwarin was so excited that the world seemed to be leaving her without answering him.
‘Aaaah!! how!! It’s so good?! Woojin cooks my own food?!! What do you say you eat??!!
Afterwards.
The news of Kang Woo-jin’s contract expiration, which broke two days ago, spread rapidly in the entertainment world as time went by.
『’Kang Woo-jin’ signs a one-year contract? Domestic entertainers are excited by the sudden news.』
『[Star Issue] Rumors of Kang Woo-jin’s one-year contract spreading quickly in the entertainment industry, and even the contents of the contract for the first time?』 The
media, which had been anxious at first but was following along, soon published the article with an almost confident atmosphere. I put it.
『Is ultra-level monster rookie ‘Kang Woo-jin’ leaving BW Entertainment like this? bw entertainment side is silent』
It quickly becomes boring. Kang Woo-jin’s influence was so great, and more than anything, the keyword ‘one-year contract’ itself was novel. The contract period for the monster rookie who shook Korea and Japan is only one year? A feeling like that.
It’s speculation, it’s bullying, it’s abuse, and they call numbers arbitrarily.
『[Issue Check] Kang Woo-jin’s contract expiration, focus on his future in the free agent market next year』
Another ‘first’ title was added to Kang Woo-jin. Because there was no such thing as a one-year contract in the entertainment industry. However, this was not the intended issue. Well, it may be meaningless if it’s an unknown actor, but if the person involved is Kang Woo-jin, it’s an issue that could sell well.
This matter gradually surfaced all over the Internet.
On YouTube, many issue YouTubers made things worse by sharing various gossips, and they were also busy talking about public opinion in communities and social media.
-???Eh????
– Haha, 1 year contract haha, this is a 100% fool haha
– If you are a rookie, isn’t it a minimum 5 year contract???
-bw Enter isn’t a big thing and even though it’s small, it’s a place where Hong Hye-yeon is located hahahahaha?
-Is this you guy again??
-But if this is real lol seriously, domestic entertainment companies are going to rush to it lol
– Kang Woo-jin doesn’t have a quiet day
– This could have been intentionally leaked by Kang Woo-jin
– Kang Woo-jin lol It’s a coveted item from the entertainment standpoint lol. Haha,
what was more crazy than the media and public opinion were the numerous domestic entertainment companies.
“Is there a way to check the conditions that Seong-geon Choi put forward when he first signed a contract with Woo-jin Kang?”
“It is difficult.”
“Hmm, then I have no choice but to guess and make a suggestion. Are you ready for that? Kang Woo-jin’s market value.”
“Yes, CEO. Looking at this year alone, it is safe to say that it is top-tier. “The entry into Japan in the first place and what we have achieved so far are beyond imagination.”
“The people around me are all big names. “I won’t even turn my nose up at this unless it’s a down payment of at least 100 million won.”
“maybe.”
“But have you confirmed Kang Woo-jin’s contact information yet?”
From large to medium or small. The movements of the entertainers who say “Nanda-gi-da” are lively.
“Is it that difficult to predict the price estimates for works starring Kang Woo-jin??!”
“That’s because Kang Woo-jin soared before the data accumulated.”
“But there are probably some rumors going around in the market! Yes, ‘Island of the Missing’! Dig there! “Even if you compare it, you have to charge an amount that makes sense!”
“I’ll check it right away!!”
In meetings and meetings, Kang Woo-jin’s story always came up.
“Why does it take so long to find Kang Woo-jin’s contact information!”
“To begin with, Kang Woo-jin himself has little information!”
“He just needs to delve into his rough works! “Whether it’s the staff or the actors, start by picking people who have ties to Kang Woo-jin!”
“Yes, representative!”
“Move quickly! “Other entertainment companies may have come into contact with Kang Woo-jin long ago!”
This atmosphere was similar to the entire entertainment industry beyond the entertainers. People from film companies and production companies as well as various broadcasters also talked about Kang Woo-jin.
“These days, entertainers are going crazy trying to catch Kang Woo-jin?”
“I think so, too. I read an article somewhere, and I’m really interested in how many awards Kang Woo-jin will win at the end of this year. Hardman.”
“Well, Kang Woo-jin really chewed it up this year. But why did Choi Seong-gun, who is so talented, sign a one-year contract?”
“I know. Anyway, in this atmosphere, it’s obvious that major entertainment companies will rush in with all their money, and Kang Woo-jin’s agency will change next year??”
Because there was nothing like this. Of course, Kang Woo-jin’s parents, friends, and other big names recognized by all staff who worked or will work with Woo-jin were also interested in this news.
In particular, actors who knew Kang Woo-jin were even more amazed. For example, the actors of ‘Island of the Missing’.
“Jungmin, have you heard anything from Woojin? “I’m rather close with my brother.”
“Whether we’re close or not, Woojin isn’t the type to talk about things in detail.”
“But a one-year contract is really novel, isn’t it? They say our company is also holding a meeting to catch Woojin. Are you looking forward to coming to the scene? “At least because of Director Kwon, the atmosphere is patient.”
However, a snowball of misunderstanding was created.
“But if the media makes this much noise, Woojin should take some action, but he doesn’t seem to care at all?”
“What is the benefit of talking about it here? It’s just like the size reassessment period. “At this time, the only answer is to keep your mouth shut.”
Since they are top actors, they make predictions like athletes.
“Ah, that’s right. In times like this, calling is worth it.”
“You know you have to raise the value when the board is broken, but you do that, Woo Chang.”
It’s too hot. Even Japan, which is keeping a close eye on Kang Woo-jin, has even published articles.
『News of ‘Kang Woo-jin’ 1-year contract with ‘male friend’ creates a stir in Korea』
However, Kang Woo-jin did not react in any way.
Buyeo on the morning of the 14th.
A large set complex for ‘Island of the Missing’. After the overseas location was completed, domestic filming for ‘Island of the Missing’ had already begun in earnest. Therefore, there were numerous minibuses and vans lined up in the parking lot outside the complex. Meanwhile, Kang Woo-jin’s van was also seen.
What’s unusual is.
“Hmm-”
Kang Woo-jin, dressed in military uniform, is the only person in the van. The reason was simple. He was to be cast from the first scene of today’s filming, and Woojin is currently on standby as the filming is being set up.
Choi Seong-gun and other staff will be on site.
Whatever it was, Kang Woo-jin was buried in a chair and touching his cell phone. These days, when he’s bored, he searches for his own name. It’s fun to see so many things pouring in when you type in Kang Woo-jin on a search site.
What Woojin sees is an article on a topic that continues to be an issue recently.
『Kang Woo-jin’s one-year contract expires? “The entertainment industry is heating up, but is only Kang Woo-jin keeping quiet and raising the ransom?”
Kang Woo-jin, who was checking the contents, snorted inwardly.
‘It’s bullshit to raise the ransom. ‘I don’t even think about it.’
It was true. Kang Woo-jin was not as deeply concerned as the media or public opinion suggested. A picture where the person involved is quiet but the surroundings are glowing. For Kang Woo-jin, ‘contract renewal’ is also his first experience.
However, the only person who knew this was Kang Woo-jin himself.
Choi Seong-geon also just said, ‘Think about it carefully and let’s talk about it separately soon.’ That was all there was to say. But Kang Woo-jin had nothing to think about. Because it had already been decided.
‘I don’t know, tsk. If you leave it alone, it will become quiet on its own.’
Plus, there was so much to do. Today, filming for ‘Island of the Missing’ took place all day, and exactly two days later, on the 16th, we had to go to Japan again.
why?
The official script reading for ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’ was held on the 16th. Therefore, if I were to focus on filming ‘Island of the Missing’ until the last minute and then go to Japan for the script reading, I would be there for about 3 days due to other schedules.
‘But is the script reading usually held at a high-end hotel? When I searched, I found that the size of the hotel was large. Well, are we finally seeing Japanese actors?’
At this point, Kang Woo-jin’s heart began to tremble slightly. On the other hand, it was also comfortable. I was surprised to see these top Japanese actors for the first time in my life, but Kang Woo-jin made me feel at ease with the unfamiliarity.
Still, acting with Japanese actors was just as nerve-wracking.
What about them? It must be different from Korean actors in some way, right? How do you view me? Are you good at acting? How famous is it? etc. At first glance, I heard that a certain actor had been cast, but Woojin’s knowledge of the entertainment industry was not deep enough to even know top actors from other countries.
Mr. I don’t know. You’ll find out when you go.
Kang Woo-jin soon changed the subject of his thoughts and put down his cell phone. There was no sign of anyone coming to pick me up yet. Thanks to that, Woojin picked up the wad of paper sitting next to him. A few days ago, Grandfather Youngmul. No, it was the ‘Leech’ scenario handed over to me by director Gabok Ang.
-Palak.
Kang Woo-jin begins to read the scenario. Woojin has read through about 30% of the ‘Leech’ scenario, not just now but whenever he has time.
This moment.
-Ugh.
Woojin’s cell phone vibrated briefly, and he looked at the scenario and checked the cell phone screen. What arrived was a text message. But the number is not saved. Woojin tilted his head and checked the contents.
-Hello, Mr. Woojin Kang. My name is Kim Nam-tae and I am the CEO of BHM Entertainment. The reason I contacted you so suddenly was to ask if you could make time to meet me for a moment during your busy schedule…
It was a text message from the CEO of some entertainment company. Kang Woo-jin closed his eyes.
“what.”
A text message with nuance asking to meet.
“How do you know my number?”
but.
-Ugh.
The text just wasn’t the end.
-Kang Woojin! hello! JML Enter is contacting you! Could you please call me?
A similar but different text message arrived again. At this, Woojin’s frown narrowed. The funny thing is.
-Ugh.
-Ugh.
It arrives not only by text but also by chat. I just received at least 5 messages in a row. Kang Woo-jin suddenly remembers a similar experience.
“Oh right. “When reading Hanryang.”
When Woojin recalled the business cards he had received from numerous entertainers, the vibration rang again.
-Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
This time it was a phone call. Of course, the number is not saved. Kang Woo-jin wanted to know something, but he answered the phone just in case.
“Yes, hello.”
A confident male voice was heard over the phone.
“Oh, Kang Woo-jin. nice to meet you? “I’m Seo Seo-seop from GGO Entertainment. Can I talk to you for a moment?”
However, Kang Woo-jin’s voice, which had a heavy expression, was low and full of coldness.
“no.”
It was Seo Seo-seop and Nabal and he seemed like he couldn’t remember anything.
