I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 176
I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 176
(Ransom (1))
Writer Choi Nana had signed a contract with DM Production, where producer Song Man-woo is the director and CEO. Therefore, she became independent from Artist Park Eun-mi’s division and this studio was provided by DM Productions. Currently, writer Choi Nana and producer Song Man-woo are in early script discussions.
As soon as writer Nana Choi heard of Kang Woo-jin’s ransom, her eyes widened behind her round glasses.
“4000 per episode…”
This is an enormous amount for a woman who joined the company as a ‘boyfriend’. On the other hand, it was not a surprising amount for producer Song Man-woo, a big name in the drama industry.
“It’s the best.” So, what I’m saying is that you need to download 4000 and start watching shobu from there.”
“Ah, then just 5,6000 degrees?”
“It’s quite possible. It went up a lot compared to ‘Boyfriend’, right?”
“I… didn’t hear the details. “Director Dong-chun took care of it.”
Producer Song Man-woo stroked his beard and leaned back heavily on his chair. At the same time, I recall the beginning of ‘Profiler Hanryang’.
‘At that time, Woojin’s synagogue appearance fee was 350 won. Now it is over 6,000 won.’
Producer Song Man-woo smiles absurdly.
‘It jumped 20 times in less than a year.’
The 350 appearance fee was a huge figure for a newcomer, and the appearance fee of 4,000 to 6,000 per episode was the price of an A-level actor or higher. Of course, looking at Kang Woo-jin’s current momentum, the appearance fee was worth hundreds of millions of dollars. However, what cannot be left out of market value is experience.
Kang Woo-jin is still in his first year.
‘Still, Mr. Woojin’s price as assessed by the market has already exceeded the line of common sense.’
It was almost bullshit for a rookie who had debuted less than a year ago to be worth up to 6,000 per episode. This was impossible and did not exist in the entertainment industry. However, Kang Woo-jin did something that made no sense and was unique. Although he has made a mark, there is no way a person like Woojin will appear in the future.
In the first place, Kang Woo-jin’s writing style itself is close to fantasy.
Then, producer Song Man-woo, who was taking a deep breath, looked down at two copies of writer Choi Nana’s script and opened his mouth.
“60 million – hmm, if you want to catch Woojin, you have to think of a maximum of 7000.”
“……How much??”
“If Woojin doesn’t do this, there’s no need to bring it up. Well, the production cost is nothing for the writer to worry about. This is our DM Productions’ first project and we have a lot of money. Building a production team is no problem. Because we have already recruited key key staff members. This work is Namjoo’s one-man show. So, actor. All you have to do is fill out the casting board well.”
“ah.”
“It’s okay, there’s no chance at all. “As far as I know, Woojin has only appeared in ‘Island of the Missing’ and ‘The Unfamiliar Parasite’ so far, excluding entertainment shows.”
Naturally, they didn’t know anything about Director Anga Bok. In other words, Producer Song Man-woo’s calculations were exactly the same as Director Ahn Ga-bok’s. Anyway, the slim writer Nana Choi’s face immediately became tense. No, is it a burden? Producer Song Man-woo noticed this and relaxed with a smile.
“The writer has nothing else to think about. “You just have to focus on the script.”
The eyes were full of determination.
“Because I will risk my life for public relations.”
backwards.
After completing an interview with dozens of reporters at Gimpo Airport, Kang Woo-jin was looking down at his cell phone in a van driving on the highway.
“……”
His expression was cold. However, inside, I was engaging in excessive shoulder dancing.
‘7 million! Are you crazy? 7 million viewers??!’
Confirming the cumulative number of viewers for ‘Drug Dealer’. I’ve heard about it in Japan as well. It easily exceeded 6 million. However, the Japanese schedule was so hectic that I wasn’t able to pay attention. However, returning to Korea makes me feel desperate.
『[Movie Talk] The unexpected ‘Drug Dealer’ exceeds 7 million viewers! A record that had been maintained for a dozen years was broken』
‘Drug Dealer’ presented a sensational typhoon in the second half of the year’s film industry. That’s because the Korean film industry was in a particularly difficult situation. Of course, director Kim Do-hee of ‘Drug Dealer’ and the film company were also bursting into congratulations.
“Director! “7 million. 7 million!!”
“Congratulations!”
“ha ha ha! “The talk is 7 million, but if it wasn’t for ‘Cheongbul’, 10 million would have been easy!”
The box office results they turned on showed a clear number of 7 million.
[Daily Domestic Box Office]
1. Drug Dealer / Release date: October 28 / Number of viewers: 151257 / Number of screens: 1002 / Cumulative number of viewers: 7028995 The
film industry media was busy informing the public about this first record.
『[Today’s Entertainment] ‘Drug Dealer’ exceeds 7 million… Ranks 1st among all-time unsolicited films』
『The ‘unsolicited’ drug dealer saved the domestic film industry!』
It was such a drought that there was no recent popular film that exceeded 3 million. It was safe to assume that a ‘drug dealer’ had destroyed it. The newly established record was not only introduced in the news, but also talked about by many film professionals and critics.
Meanwhile, Kang Woo-jin’s mention could not have been left out.
『[Star Talk] Is ‘Lee Sang-man’ Kang Woo-jin the biggest beneficiary of 7 million viewers?』
However, what is disappointing is that the speed of ‘Drug Dealer’ reaching 7 million viewers has noticeably decreased. This was not an unnatural phenomenon. No matter how much a ‘drug dealer’ breaks the limit, there is an end in the end.
Due to the flow and atmosphere, the prevailing opinion was that it would be difficult for ‘Drug Dealer’ to reach 8 million.
Likewise, while the film industry was abuzz with the story of ‘drug dealer’, Kang Woo-jin’s name was popping up in other places as well. It was only natural since I returned from Japan today.
『[Star Photo] Interview with reporters crowded at the airport by Kang Woo-jin, who returned from his schedule in Japan… The script reading for ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’ was fun/Photo』 The
first new Korean actor to be selected as the lead in a work by a Japanese master director. When they actually see it as a reality, the public quickly clings to it.
-Gu ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

-But what if Kang Woo-jin actually gets sprayed???
-↑ㅂㅅAh, Korean tops are also being chewed up, but are they just going to fall behind Japan??
-The soup here is a bit disgusting hahahahahahahaha
– I’m being honest, it doesn’t really matter Kang Woo-jin, but I hate being pushed out by Japan more hahaha

It was worth it. The picture of Kang Woo-jin standing between director Kyotaro and top Japanese actors was unfamiliar. This is such a novel move and something that has never happened before.
Two days later.
Around late lunch on the 20th. grant.
Director Kwon Ki-taek’s soft signal spread in the thick forest outside the large set complex of ‘Island of the Missing’.
“Cut okay.”
At the same time, the assistant director, who had received some instructions, shouted.
“Okay!! “I will be on standby in 10 minutes after maintenance!!”
Dozens of staff members who stopped running rush into the scene to do their jobs. The filming team touches camera settings, and the lighting and art teams check the filming storyboard with director Ki-tae Kwon for the next cut. The makeup team attached itself to actors such as Ryu Jung-min who were in the filming zone.
among them.
-Sigh.
Kang Woo-jin, whose military uniform was covered in blood, was falling into his seat. Because the next scene was cut without him.
Kang Woo-jin rejoined the filming of ‘Island of the Missing’ around yesterday. I was planning to spend about 3 days commuting to and from nearby accommodations to film, so I had to travel back and forth from Seoul for the remaining 7 days. Because I have to deal with other schedules as well.
Still, the key is filming ‘Island of the Missing’.
As the ‘Island of the Missing’ production took into account the situation, Kang Woo-jin had to focus even more on filming. However, Woojin’s absence did not seem to be felt significantly among the staff.
“Is it because Woojin has so few NGs? “The filming schedule is going smoothly.”
“Isn’t it strange? Usually, when actors leave for reasons and then rejoin, emotions tend to jump out. “Woojin doesn’t have anything like that at all.”
“Other actors have more NGs. Even if I am the director, Woojin is really pretty.”
Anyway, Kang Woo-jin sat on a chair a little away from the filming location.
‘Is it because it’s in the forest? Or because the weather is getting colder? Why is it a bit chilly?’
I was feeling the season changing to winter. At this time.
“older brother!”
Jang Soo-hwan, a large man, appeared from nowhere and approached Kang Woo-jin with great strides.
“Thank you for your effort! “Water and cell phone!”
He handed me a cell phone and a bottle of bottled water. Woojin answered in a cynical tone and then opened a bottle of bottled water. At the same time, his cell phone emits a long vibration. After checking the caller, he slowly scratches his chin.
‘CEO Seo Gu-seop. Oh right. ‘I forgot about this guy.’
When Kang Woo-jin returned to Korea, he contacted the entertainers who had contacted him regarding scouting. To be precise, a polite refusal. In the meantime, Kang Woo-jin realized that Seo Seo-seop, CEO of large GGO Entertainment, had been omitted.
What do you think? I guess I can say it now since I’m on the phone.
Then he got up from his chair and answered the phone.
“hello.”
Bulldog CEO Seo Seo-seop’s cool voice can be heard directly through the cell phone.
“Huh, Mr. Woojin. We should meet. You have an appointment, right? Haha, I was tired of waiting so I called first.”
“yes. “I was just about to call you.”
“is it so? Okay then, I can see you sometime. “We’re both busy, so I’d like to meet you as soon as possible.”
“That’s it. sorry. “It’s already been decided, so I’d like to meet you later if I have the chance.”
CEO Seo Seo-seop’s voice over the phone immediately becomes chilling.
“…It’s decided? Does that mean you have decided on your next agency?”
“That’s right.”
“Huh, you made your decision without even meeting me? why?”
“It’s difficult to tell you everything.”
“Mr. Kang Woo-jin. Does this make it uncomfortable for both of us? What did you do and where did you do it? “What a great place it is… Did you have an extension with Choi Seong-gun?”
“It’s still hard to answer.”
CEO Seo Seo-seop’s voice became eccentric, but it didn’t hurt Kang Woo-jin, who has a deep sense of concept. So silence for a moment. The one who broke the silence was CEO Seo Seo-seop.
“Woojin and I don’t seem to get along. Yes? “It goes wrong not once, but twice.”
“……”
“I understand.”
-Suddenly.
The call is immediately disconnected. Woojin lowered his cell phone and narrowed his eyes slightly.
‘What are you doing, you bastard? ‘You have a dirty personality.’
At that moment, a familiar noise was heard from behind.
“Woojin. “What are you doing there?”
When I turned around, I saw Choi Seong-geon with ponytails approaching, adjusting his jacket. When he arrived in front of Woo-jin, he waved his cell phone and got straight to the point.
“I got a call from PD Song. “You say you’ll be coming to Buyeo in two days?”
“Is that so?”
“huh. I think the purpose is to give you a script like last time. He said he couldn’t move due to the circumstances, so he said he would come right away. But for some reason, this time it felt like PD Song had planned something. “Do you know anything?”
In the past, he said he would look at other scripts, but producer Song Man-woo hasn’t contacted Woo-jin recently.
“no.”
“okay? Anyway, are you asking me to come? “If you feel uncomfortable, please contact me and let me see you later.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
“Okay then, let’s just take a quick look before filming.”
Choi Seong-geon, who was answering, suddenly bursts into laughter.
“Actor Kang, you’ve really become amazing, haven’t you? Have producer Song Man-woo, a big name in dramas, come to Buyeo? What’s more important than that? “Who was calling?”
“GGO Entertainment CEO Seo Seo-seop.”
It was Choi Seong-geon who furrowed his eyebrows.
“Why that bulldog?”
Kang Woo-jin briefly explained the story with CEO Seo Seo-seop, and Choi Seong-geon, who openly clicked his tongue, muttered softly.
“I wonder what else they’ll do with that bulldog’s personality. “We need to hurry up.”
Hurry? what? Woojin tilted his head and asked back.
“what?”
“no. soliloquy. Anyway, that bulldog. No, don’t worry about CEO Seo Seo-seop. “I’ll take care of it.”
Although he was no longer interested in the nails, Kang Woo-jin answered calmly.
“Yes, CEO.”
Choi Seong-gun, who took out his cell phone, continued.
“I’ve gotten enough attention talking about your agency, so I’ll have to make an announcement tomorrow.”
GGO Entertainment at this time.
Seo Seo-seop’s face, sitting in the large representative office, was very red. The corners of my lips are trembling from how hard I bite my molars.
That’s him.
“Kang Woo-jin, this lump of blood.”
I hit the desk with my clenched fist.
-bang!!
“Fuck you.”
A face that feels desperately angry. This makes it more similar to a bulldog.
“After covering up the ‘Mise-en-scène Film Festival’ incident, I went in with my head down… How dare you embarrass me twice?”
Because he was stabbed twice by Kang Woo-jin. Of course, it was CEO Seo Seo-seop’s opinion alone. I lost face and my pride was trampled. What about Kang Woo-jin’s rude behavior when talking on the phone?
‘Are you telling me I’m a bit popular?’
A fire rises from CEO Seo Seo-seop’s eyes.
“OK. “We’ll see, you bastard.”
His skin tone turned red and he called someone over the intercom. Soon, several executives entered the representative office. Representative Seo Seo-seop gives them cool instructions.
“Hey, Kang Woo-jin, let’s show off. “Gather up all the gossip that has been circulating about her.”
The next morning.
A resort hotel located slightly away from the ‘Island of the Missing’ filming location. The time is around 8 am. Although it was a little early, Choi Seong-gun was seen with his hair down in the hotel lobby.
“Let’s see – what’s on the menu today?”
From what I heard, it looks like he came down to eat breakfast. Then something occurred to him, so he picked up his cell phone and accessed a search site. What Choi Seong-gun wanted to check was simple.
『[Official] BW Entertainment confirms 3-year extension contract with Kang Woo-jin』
BW Entertainment’s official position announced a few tens of minutes ago. With this, Kang Woo-jin no longer has to go to the free agent market, and Choi Seong-geon, who was checking the article, nodded with satisfaction.
“That’s it.”
He muttered briefly before suddenly making a call to someone. It was quick for the other person to answer the phone.
“Your brother.”
A woman’s voice trembles slightly.
“Did you sleep?”
“no. I’m going to the shop. “I have a photo shoot at lunch.”
“We have resolved the expansion funds. You can accept it. BW Entertainment is going to get bigger and I’ll go to scout it officially soon.”
“…really?”
“Okay, so I think we’ll move forward with what we were going to do.”
“ah.”
Next, Choi Seong-gun moved to a corner of the lobby and spoke to her through the cell phone. Almost like a whisper.
“Hannah, let’s break Seo Seo-seop down.”
