I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 168
I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 168
(Gyeongshin (7))
“……Hmm? “Woojin, what did you just say?”
Representative Seo Seo-seop’s voice over the phone cooled at Kang Woo-jin’s sharp rejection. However, Woojin’s answer was not much different from before.
“It’s difficult to talk on the phone.”
CEO Seo Seo-seop forced a smile. That was the tone.
“Mr. Kang Woo-jin, did you hear my name correctly? “Is it GGO Enter?”
“I can hear you well.”
“however?”
But then why? Kang Woo-jin sighs softly. I wanted to quit dealing with voice phishing all of a sudden, but rumors in the jungle-like entertainment industry travel faster than light. It was a no-brainer to make unnecessary noise. Choi Seong-gun also told me to be careful.
‘I’ve heard a lot about GGO Entertainment. Well, anyway, let’s quit in moderation.’
If it’s a large enterprise, the influence will be stronger. Soon, Woojin has reached a level where he takes care of his own image.
Soon, Kang Woo-jin spoke again in a low tone.
“I have to start filming.”
“Oh yeah? Well then, I guess I’ll just have to do some quick business. I heard about a one-year contract. Our GGO Entertainment is very interested in it. “I want to meet you as soon as possible.”
“This week is going to be difficult.”
If you do well, even next year.
“……it’s tough?”
“It also includes the Japanese schedule.”
“Ah, ‘unfamiliar parasite’?”
CEO Seo Seo-seop burst into laughter as he looked over his cell phone, letting out a regretful yet strange sigh.
“Haha, okay then, let’s go there and see you as soon as possible. “Even though we had a bad start with the ‘Mise-en-scène Film Festival,’ if you look at it as a business, you should see it as a relationship.”
“We will check and get back to you.”
“Okay, wait. Ah, just in case, we plan to grant whatever conditions Woojin wants.”
“thank you.”
-Suddenly.
Only after the call was hung up did Kang Woo-jin clearly remember who the other person, CEO Seo Seo-seop, was. The hint is ‘Mise-en-scène Film Festival’. Well, the face is vague, but I passed by it at the ‘Mise-en-scène Film Festival’. Park Jung-hyuk, a fallen top actor who tried to launder his image through the ‘Healing Bureau’, also came to mind.
“Did the board topple when I got involved?”
But Woojin didn’t think about it for too long. However, I did understand a little why this entertainment industry is called the jungle. In the past, he would attack me and make me blush, but now he smiles like a friend.
This was Kang Woo-jin, who didn’t like the feeling that all relationships were tied to business.
‘What can I do? I’ll just have to adapt.’
He muttered to himself and sent a reasonable reply to the entertainers who had just contacted Ususu. The content was similar to what was said to CEO Seo Seo-seop. There is no reason to get angry, so be polite. Kang Woo-jin put down his cell phone and fell into a daydream for a brief moment.
“Hmm-”
What can I say, the time when I received a lot of business cards on the reading day of ‘Hallyang’ a long time ago and the way they are handled now is completely different. It was like that when Woojin’s contract was covered in the news, and top entertainment companies such as GGO Entertainment contacted him directly.
Even the CEO himself moved everything.
‘When I received a business card, I was at the level of a manager at best.’
This meant that Kang Woo-jin’s position in the actor world was quite high. In other words, you cannot think in vain. Because it is a contract that will cover the next few years. Thanks to this, Kang Woo-jin, who was a complete beginner, was able to study on his own.
Before going to bed, on days off, etc.
When I was mostly alone, I reviewed the current contract several times and also checked the terms of various top actors on the Internet.
Add to.
‘The difference between me before and now.’
I have figured out and organized what I have accomplished so far or what I plan to accomplish in the future. But it’s still difficult. It didn’t make sense for him to be so quick after signing a contract for just one year.
However, Kang Woo-jin decided to make one thing clear.
‘Oh, isn’t this a bit misleading? Let’s scream until we feel like it.’
It was decided to include the concept in the contract. Kang Woo-jin’s character is already established, so even if you call him cool, the other person won’t be surprised. Meanwhile, the design is designed to naturally derive an appropriate value.
“Heh, not bad.”
What made Kang Woo-jin, who had fallen into self-absorption, stop.
-Drur.
It was because the van’s door was open. Seonggeon Choi, the ponytail, points backwards with his thumb.
“It’s standby! “Let’s go, Woojin.”
“Yes, representative.”
Kang Woo-jin, dressed in military uniform, got out of the van in silence. At the same time, he glanced at Choi Seong-gun, who was standing next to him and did not take his hand off his cell phone.
‘Hmm- after all, it would be better not to tell the entertainers that I was contacted, right?’
Around noon, SBC airwaves.
A hallway with posters of various hit films. At the end, ‘Profiler Hanryang’ also stands out. The posters were in very clean condition, probably because they had been added recently, and many people were gathered in the conference room inside the glass door visible past the posters.
In general, the composition appears to be older.
However, it was not just SBC executives. Women from all walks of life related to the entertainment industry. The reason was simple. Because they were the ‘judging panel’ for the SBC Drama Awards, which are less than two months away.
The atmosphere was solemn.
Tablets and papers were overflowing in front of the people sitting around the large L-shaped desk. The types of awards confirmed this year and the actors who brought glory to the SBC works were included. A panel of judges who look at it very deeply.
The funny thing is.
“Hmm – as expected, ‘Profiler Hanryang’ is strong this year.”
There are quite a few actors from ‘Profiler Hanryang’ in the works and award nominations. It was a natural picture.
“Well, since Hanryang captured everything from viewer ratings, popularity, quality of work, and acting.”
“The actors deserved praise for their acting skills, but the viewership ratings were so good that if there were no good actors among the candidates, the viewers would raise their voices.”
“Ugh – I hope this year ends without any controversy.”
“I agree.”
At this time, a man who was pushing up his narrow glasses stepped in. He was the head of the drama department.
“The Rookie Award. “It’s hard to split it this year.”
“Ah-Is it because of Kang Woo-jin?”
“that’s right. “The other rookie candidates are very different from Kang Woo-jin.”
“Hmm, I guess so.”
Many agree. Every year, many new actors have received the Rookie Award at the Drama Awards. At least 4 people including men and women. But this year, Kang Woo-jin’s strength was too strong. Even though it is the same Rookie of the Year award, if there is a large gap between the actors, it will inevitably lead to controversy.
It was clear because it was data accumulated over many years.
“Then I guess I’ll have to go alone for the Rookie of the Year award this year.”
“Instead, the friends who were originally awarded the Rookie of the Year award should be given something else, like the Scene Stealer award.”
“hmm. “Everyone was fine, but that’s because Kang Woo-jin is so powerful.”
At this time, a middle-aged woman joined in.
“It’s the Rookie Award – but isn’t it a bit weak to only include Kang Woo-jin as a candidate for the Rookie Award?”
Meanwhile bw enter.
All teams are crazy. The public relations team was having a heated meeting in the meeting room, and other teams were also busy answering phones or typing on their laptops. There are only two actors in the company, but their power was so great.
Especially Kang Woo-jin.
Moreover, due to rumors of Kang Woo-jin’s one-year contract, BW Entertainment’s internal phone calls had no time to rest.
-♬♪
It rings like crazy. Among the dozens of employees, a male employee from the management team stood up, picked up the transparent file he had just organized. His destination was the management team leader.
“This is a summary of this year’s awards ceremony, Mr. Woojin, which the team leader mentioned. “I gave it to Hyeyeon yesterday.”
“Ah okay. “Where have you been to Mr. Woojin so far?”
“As expected, all three public broadcasters, including Blue Dragon and Grand Bell, were involved in the recruitment process. “Only the film festival side determines award nominations.”
The team leader nodded and opened the transparent file. There were many words written in the content, but there were two main points.
-Sent by the Blue Dragon Film Festival Organizing Committee. (Final/ Including Kang Woo-jin’s nomination)
– New Actor Award candidate (Drug dealer/ Kang Woo-jin)
– Popular Star Award candidate (Kang Woo-jin)
Is this the value of Kang Woo-jin selected by the Blue Dragon Grand Bell Awards Film Festival?
-The Grand Bell Awards Film Festival Organizing Committee has confirmed the nomination (Mr. Kang Woo-jin)
-Best New Actor Award candidate (drug dealer Kang Woo-jin)
-New Wave Award candidate (Kang Woo-jin)
The management team leader, who was looking down at the transparent file, felt absurd.
“Is this a case of casting an actor with a first year experience? “This is my first time seeing a picture like this.”
The smile as if he was tired of it became deeper.
“Is this a possible picture in the first year of debut?”
Granted again in the late afternoon of the same day.
Even though the sun was setting, the large set complex of ‘Island of the Missing’ was hot. Over 100 staff members, including director Ki-taek Kwon, put their all into filming, and the actors also gave correspondingly passionate performances. The good news is that the hot weather has become a little chilly.
Thanks to this, wearing the stuffy military uniform became somewhat more comfortable.
Anyway, among the many cars parked in the parking lot outside, a man in military uniform approaches a familiar van. It was Kang Woo-jin, who was bending his neck back and forth as if he was feeling stiff.
“Huh-”
He let out a small breath, opened the car door, and got into the van. He, who had been filming the whole time, was given a waiting period of about an hour. If the wait takes more than 30 minutes, it will be difficult to wait on set. Therefore, Kang Woo-jin came over with the intention of resting in the car, and he was familiar with this kind of appearance.
soon.
-Sigh.
Kang Woo-jin, with his back against the seat, slowly crossed his legs. What’s unusual is that
‘It’s not that bad. Has your physical strength really increased?’
Even though he filmed all day, Kang Woo-jin looks very good. Obviously, compared to him in the past, this one was too lively. Well, the repeated filming and acting must have increased my physical stamina, not just the concept. After giving an appropriate answer, Woojin checked his cell phone.
“A lot has come.”
Missed phone calls and text messages. There were more than dozens of contacts made during filming. Opponents are also diverse. Of course, many entertainers were seen, including acquaintances such as my friends. Among them, Kang Woo-jin stopped at his mother’s talk.
-Omani: Woojin, when did you say you were going to Japan?
Woojin, who recalled the script reading for ‘The Unfamiliar Parasite’, sent a reply to his mother and then turned his attention to the books piled up on the right side. Of course, scripts and scenarios. He felt like he had more stamina and needed to do something, so he moved his hands.
He could have seen ‘Leech’, but what Kang Woo-jin picked up now was the ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’ scenario.
I’ve already read it a few times and read it, but it was necessary to repeat it. Because it becomes that much more vivid. Since we will soon be reading the script, it would be a good idea to review it. That’s how Kang Woo-jin unfolded the ‘Familiar Parasite’ scenario.
It was all in Japanese.
Although he received the scenario translated into Korean, Kang Woo-jin insisted on the original scenario. In order to clearly understand the writer-director’s intentions, it is best to familiarize yourself with the original text.
‘When I compared it with the translated version, I could clearly see the differences.’
In fact, it didn’t really matter to Kang Woo-jin, who already had native-level Japanese. Kang Woo-jin quickly reads the scenario with concentration.
-Palak palak.
‘The Strange Sacrifice of a Stranger’ by Japanese ultra-popular writer Akari Takikawa is a revenge story. Of course, the same goes for the movie scenario adapted by director Kyotaro. However, the fierceness in revenge was missing. It wasn’t passionate.
A gentle, static and pitiful revenge.
But there is clearly no mercy. The sheer cruelty stands out. Leading it was the role of Kiyoshi Iyota played by Kang Woo-jin. ‘Iyota Kiyoshi’ was a Korean resident in Japan.
This setting was different from the original.
The setting changed when moving to the movie. However, the role of ‘Kiyoshi Iyota’ was a Korean actor, so it was a good fit. This was all intentional, so it was natural. Such ‘unfamiliar students’ started with ‘Ijime’ at a high school. It is a disgusting problem that has not been eradicated in Korea or Japan from the past to the present.
The person involved in ‘Ijime’ was ‘Iyota Kiyoshi’.
It started with something very simple. It’s just because Kiyoshi is gloomy or has an unpleasant face. As the trivial reasons grow larger and even ‘Korean residents in Japan’ are mentioned, Kiyoshi becomes a loner in the entire school.
However, Kiyoshi was fine.
Even if Kiyoshi’s desk is gone, his shoe cabinet is full of trash, he’s suddenly assaulted, his gym uniform or school uniform is gone, even if a milk carton sold at the store is thrown at him, or his money is taken away.
There was no response to any harassment.
There is no sign of even agitation.
There was no expression, emotion, or pain visible on his face. There was nothing on Kiyoshi’s face. It looked like a broken robot.
Kiyoshi’s reaction made Ijime grow even more.
At school, Kiyoshi was treated like livestock. Nevertheless, Kiyoshi just kept his mouth shut and lived. I went to school without fail. The wicked slowly began to enjoy Ijime. The severity has worsened.
Here, a female student who couldn’t stand it appeared.
Her name was ‘Misaki Toka’. Toka was a new student, and when she saw the atmosphere at school, she somehow felt courageous enough to protect Kiyoshi. I spoke confidently to everyone. Stop it. Then he asked Kiyoshi. Are you okay? For Kiyoshi, this was the first time he had heard this in his life.
Why? Why is that woman protecting me?
Although Kiyoshi was still an ordinary person, he was interested in Toka. It wasn’t something rational. It’s more like just respect as a human being. Observe and watch. Fortunately, her appearance stopped the pressure on Kiyoshi for a moment.
Thanks to this, Kiyoshi was able to spend time with Toka.
We had lunch together and talked. She sees people as people. Kiyoshi felt a cool breeze blowing through his devastated heart when he was with Toka.
But that time wasn’t long.
Because Ijime didn’t stop. Unbeknownst to Kiyoshi, the target had changed to Touka. Kiyoshi found out about this when she didn’t come to school for a few days. When she returned to school, a scar was visible on her face.
However, Toka was not as calm as Kiyoshi.
Unfortunately, it was Kiyoshi who saw her last. Of course, Kang Woo-jin experienced the end of Toka vividly with his own eyes, not through words.
-[7/Scenario (Title: A Stranger’s Bizarre Sacrifice) S+ grade]
-[*This is a highly complete movie scenario. 100% reading is possible.]
Become the main character, Kiyoshi.
[“Preparing for the reading of ‘A: Kiyoshi Iyota’…”]
[“…Preparation complete. This is a very high-quality script or scenario. The implementation level is 100%. Reading begins.”]
Kang Woo-jin’s gaze was shared with ‘Iyota Kiyoshi’. An ambiguous thing that is neither cold nor hot spreads. My heart is dry. My heart was like an endless desert. Still, the wind passing by my cheeks and the sun shining down are warm.
Cherry blossoms are fluttering in the distance.
-Sah.
Is it spring? Kang Woo-jin’s expressionless Kiyoshi’s empty eyes move. The place where Woojin was standing was the rooftop of the school. And I see a woman with her school uniform skirt fluttering on the railing in front of me. Appropriate height for short hair.
It was ‘Misaki Toka’.
She was sitting on the vertiginous rooftop railing, staring somewhere in front. Dangerous. However, Kang Woo-jin did not move. He just looks at Toka’s back with a stiff expression on his face. At the same time, I notice her school uniform top. Why was the button undone, why was there so much dust, and why did the wounds get worse?
At this time.
“Kiyoshi.”
Toka, who was looking straight ahead, turned her head and spoke to Kiyoshi. A gentle but unrepentant face.
“I don’t regret meeting you.”
Kang Woo-jin, who was in the same position as before, responded with an emotionless tone.
“It’s time for lunch.”
However, Toka, who showed no signs of coming down from the railing, smiled at Woojin.
she disappeared
However.
“……”
Kang Woo-jin’s expressionless face remained the same. I just stare endlessly at the unoccupied railing. Let alone excitement, even breathing was constant.
And then.
-Sigh.
Stand still and fold the fingers of your right hand one by one. He recites my name quietly. One person, two people, three people… It’s like making a list. It was then.
-Tadat!
Someone jumped onto the rooftop. It was a male student with a pointed face. Included in the list I was just talking about. He then checked the condition of the rooftop and asked Kiyoshi standing next to him.
“Did you see it?”
“huh.”
“Kkkkkk, it should have come sooner.”
The smiling male student walks forward with a stride and places his stomach on the railing where Toka was just a moment ago. And then I glanced down.
“Heh, that’s amazing. How are you doing from such a high place? “Aaaak!!!”
At that moment, the male student let out a strange scream and disappeared under the railing. A scream is heard again from below. Kang Woo-jin, who did it, slowly left the rooftop with an expressionless face. On the stairs, I gave a belated answer to Toka.
“I regret it.”
Soon, Kang Woo-jin folded the thumb of his right hand out of the ten outstretched fingers and quietly recited. It was a simple tone.
“Just one person for now.”
