I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 185
I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 185
(Ransom (10))
Choi Seong-gun, who confirmed Kang Woo-jin’s appearance fee proposal, calmly tapped the calculator.
‘150 million is high enough.’
Appearance fee worth hundreds of millions of won. It may vary from actor to actor, but the appearance fee for top S-class actors is usually 200 million to 500 million won at most. Because there are differences even among top actors. Of course, a great actor of Shim Shim-ho’s level receives more. However, Kang Woo-jin is not currently an S-class top actor. It’s a speed that will catch up quickly, but that’s the way it is for now.
Still, the ransom is 150 million. For an actor who debuted only a year ago, this is an impossible figure.
‘I added running to it as well.’
Having a running guarantee meant that handling changed 180 degrees. Because it’s an option that can only be found in the contracts of top actors. This is even Woojin’s second time. ‘Island of the Missing’ had a unique process, but it stuck anyway.
Big names who gave the rookie a run.
In this case, Kang Woo-jin was the first. Soon Choi Seong-geon stroked his chin.
‘It means that director Ga-bok Ahn views Woojin as a top-level player.’
Clearly, director Ahn Ga-bok and the film company of ‘Leech’ had a very high opinion of Kang Woo-jin. It was well worth it. However, Choi Seong-geon was not just a person to be paid. It’s absurd, but Kang Woo-jin is close to the top position now.
In the entertainment industry, which is a jungle, the one with the deepest greed is Eul.
“Yes, I confirmed. But I would like to point out a few things. Currently, Woojin has mastered not only foreign languages but also sign language. Did you consider that part as well? You also have to think about the acting aspect and the ticket power of the actor itself…”
Negotiations began. Choi Seong-gun puts more power into his voice than ever before. But keep your manners. It doesn’t go beyond common sense.
yet.
“Thank you, Director.”
“Please take care of me.”
Kang Woo-jin’s revised ransom price was confirmed.
-Kang Woo-jin/ Appearance fee: 200 million won/ Running guarantee
was 100 won and 200 million won per additional audience when the break-even point was passed. The number reached at the beginning of the tower. The contract went through smoothly, and at the end, director Anga Bok with a wrinkled smile opened his mouth.
“Oh, and I haven’t received a confirmation call from actor Shin Shim-ho yet, so I’m waiting.”
“okay. “What are the chances of joining?”
“well. “I am urging you to do so.”
“hmm. “Okay, I’ll just tell Woojin that.”
Here, the CEO of the film company sitting next to director Anga Bok intervened.
“What does Woojin say after hearing Shim Han-ho’s story? “Do you feel burdened?”
Choi Seong-geon relayed exactly what he heard from Kang Woo-jin.
“no. You don’t have to worry about that part. Woojin said it didn’t matter at all.”
“…It doesn’t matter to you?”
“yes. “He’s a completely different friend.”
“Huh, it’s not another actor, it’s senior Shim Shim-ho, so it doesn’t matter at all?”
Director Anga Bok’s smile then stretches with his arms crossed.
“I told you, we are number one in the country when it comes to distribution.”
It was a misunderstanding, but director Ahn Ga-bok, who was reminded of Woo-jin, changed the subject without much notice.
“So, Choi Dae-pyo, when would you like to officially announce the confirmation of Woojin-gun’s casting? “Is there something like this?”
Choi Seong-gun, who was quickly reviewing Kang Woo-jin’s packed schedule, answered.
“Even if you do it right away, there will be no problem for us at the moment. However, if possible, it would be better after 5 days.”
“After 5 days?”
“Yes, between December 5th and 6th, Woojin will leave for the United States to film Producer Yoon Byung-seon’s ‘Our Table’. “The filming period was about a week.”
“Aha, are you saying that we hope our movie news will fill the void that is missing in Korea?”
“This is a request. “I’m not saying it has to be that way.”
Choi Seong-geon, who calmly recited, gave another reason.
“And if actor Shin Shim-ho joins, I think it would be good to announce them side by side. “It may not matter to the public, but as a person in this community, it seems that way.”
“Anyway, the picture is pretty?”
“yes. “If Shim Shim-ho is confirmed as actor, I will be seeing Woo-jin for a long time, and I want to avoid any unintended discomfort.”
“Hmm, I gave the scenario to Shim Hoon-ho a second time, but it wouldn’t be polite to rank him in the presentation as well.”
In other words, it is said to be polite while saving the face of a great Korean actor. Putting aside the impact, if you look at the essence, Kang Woo-jin is a newcomer and Shim Shim-ho is like history or legend. It was a very simple calculation for Choi Seong-geon, who has a long history in the entertainment industry.
together.
‘It’s a hundred times better if Woojin is announced sandwiched between two legends, director Ahn Ga-bok and Shin Shim-ho, rather than on his own.’
Even the difference in explosive power was assumed.
“Oh, of course, it doesn’t matter if actor Shin Shim-ho finds it difficult to join due to circumstances.”
“i know. “I also planned to listen to his answer and present it.”
Then, the CEO of the film company, who was checking articles related to ‘Leech’ on his cell phone, laughed a little.
“The state of media opinion is interesting. “Senior Shin Shim-ho, who hasn’t responded yet, is being cast as if it’s confirmed, but Kang Woo-jin, who hasn’t even been mentioned in the press, is confirmed to be cast.”
Director Gabok Ang, who was slowly resting his chin, answered leisurely.
“I didn’t expect this, but I think people will be quite surprised.”
Afterwards.
After the film company announced that director Anga Bok’s 100th film is headed to Cannes.
『[Movie IS] The trend of ‘Director Anga Bok’ targeting Cannes for his 100th historical film is unusual』
Domestic film industry’s interest in ‘Leech’ has increased beyond imagination. The media and officials were all over Busan, but what stood out more than anyone else were the country’s top actors.
They started to overflow.
Judgments such as the desire to do it, curiosity about who will do it, interest in what director Ahn Ga-bok’s work will be about, and checking audition information by talking to the agency.
“CEO! “Please set up a meeting with director Ga-bok Ahn or his film crew.”
“Huh, no way. Hey, Arthur, Arthur. “There is more harm than good in doing that.”
“But there is no better position for an actor.”
“If you try and get criticized for nothing, you’ll only end up making noise, and even if you do join, if your acting is slightly off, it will be noticeable right away. Isn’t it director Ahn Ga-bok’s filming location? What kind of disgrace is that? “The ransom price might drop suddenly!”
“Still, someone will be involved!”
“Let’s just watch the situation for now. Anyway, the first line will be senior Shim Shim-ho and the second line will be top actors, so let’s figure out how the atmosphere is going?”
Of course, there were some scenes where there was some level of anticipation. It was the filming location for director Kwon Ki-taek’s ‘Island of the Missing’. Because director Anga Bok had attacked in the past, dozens of staff members assumed that actors who would be added as second line actors were on the set of ‘Island of the Missing’.
“That’s right. “At that time, director Ang Bok came to Da Nang… he didn’t just come to have fun, he came to see the actors.”
“I guess it’s Ryu Jeong-min?”
“yes? It’s the most likely. But I can’t ignore Yura either. “Recently, it produced results in Hollywood.”
“Even though they are slightly weaker than the two, Kim I-won and Jeon Woo-chang are also at the top?”
“I saw Director Ga-bok Ahn and Hye-yeon Hong talking in Da Nang. “I guess you came here knowing it was a friendship show?”
Then the story of Kang Woo-jin came up.
“Why are you talking about Woojin without mentioning him?”
“Hmm, Kang Woo-jin is really hot right now, but… I guess I don’t have enough time.”
“Would it be a bit disappointing to be cast as the lead in director Ahn Ga-bok’s film?”
“But we may already be talking about supporting roles.”
“Wow… Even if Mr. Woo-jin were only cast in a minor role in director Ahn Ga-bok’s work, the film director would just kill it??”
On the other hand, ‘Island of the Missing’ actors such as Ryu Jung-min and Ha Yu-ra did not respond in particular. But deep down, you probably care about everything.
The only one who was firm here was, of course, director Kwon Ki-taek.
‘…Sim Han-ho – why did it come out before Woojin’s story? ‘Did Woojin’s side fall?’
Because I knew Director Ga-bok Ahn’s heartache. But the situation was confusing.
How many hours have passed like this?
Around early afternoon, director Anga Bok, the protagonist of the current issue, was being interviewed by a major film magazine. It was a position that director Ga-bok Ang personally appointed to introduce the work in order to sort out the numerous rumors that were spreading. There are quite a few cameras. The woman asking a question to director Ga-bok Ang is a former announcer and broadcaster.
“Director, there was an article recently that showed you in a photo together with actor Shin Shim-ho. Is the article true? Actor Shin Shim-ho is joining this 100th movie.”
Director Ang Bok, with short white hair, smiled like an old man.
“Hehe, during that article, I really just had a meal with actor Shim Jin-ho.”
“Ah, then it’s fake news after all?”
“The possibility remains open.”
The woman nods and changes the subject.
“So, director, you said you’re aiming for Cannes with this film! “Has the scenario been released?”
“That’s right.”
“Oh oh! “Can you at least tell me the title?”
“I named it ‘Leech.’ “This is my first time talking here.”
“thank you! As you know, there is a lot of interest among domestic actors, right? “Is there an actor you have your eyes on?”
“Of course, the casting board is already in place. “I’m struggling.”
“I see.”
“Hmm, it’s hard to tell you everything about the actor casting part because it’s still confidential. There’s also the actor’s situation. We will announce it once it is organized. But the script has already been passed on to the two actors.”
An hour after this interview ended.
Director Gabok Ang was in a van. The destination is his house. Because he had a very tight schedule today, Coach Ang Bok’s face showed a little fatigue. Then his cell phone emits a ringtone.
-♬♪
Director Gabok Ang slowly checked his cell phone screen. The sender was the great actor Shim Shim-ho. Then, director Ang Bok, with a wrinkled smile, answered the phone and muttered softly.
“So, have you decided? “I wonder if my urging worked.”
Over the cell phone, I heard Shin Jin-ho’s calm yet deep voice.
“yes. “I will do the role you gave me, senior.”
The second lead actor for ‘Leech’ has been confirmed.
same night.
The 9 o’clock news was in full swing on the public broadcasting channel on TV. And now the Hwarin incident that happened yesterday is being reported.
[“Yesterday, an incident occurred where singer and actress Hwarin was attacked by a gunman in the parking lot. The assailant had an awl in his hand, but fortunately Hwarin was not seriously injured. This is Hwang Dae-gi’s report.”]
Of course, it was reported by Hwarin’s agency, JML Entertainment. Therefore, only the necessary parts were announced. Photos of the assailant being taken away, evidence found in the car he heard about, photos of Hwarin taken on camera, etc.
It was enough to cause fear.
For reference, Kang Woo-jin’s story was omitted from the news content. Anyway, starting with this news, Hwarin’s incident quickly spread to various media outlets such as other news and radio. Hwarin’s agency may have had intentions, but the incident was so shocking and serious that it spread in the blink of an eye.
Therefore, as soon as the news ended, all major media outlets started mentioning Hwarin’s name.
『[Breaking News] Elani ‘Hwarin’ attacked by a strange person』
Even though it was night, a ton of articles poured out.
『No, what is this? ‘Hwarin’ attacked by a gunman in the parking lot… The gunman had an awl in his hand / Photo』 『

『The police regarding the assailant who attacked Hwarin: “Currently under investigation, but the evidence is solid.”』
In other words, they were saying that many people can confirm this incident.

『“Sasaeng fans? No, it’s a criminal. Elani’s fan club is outraged

-No awl??? awl??????? This is a complete piece of shit??????

– Hwarin unnieㅠㅠㅠ I think I’m really going to be disillusioned with the entertainment industry…
It’s not a limited place, it’s on YouTube, as well as communities and various social media at the same time. As the situation grew inexorably, Hwarin uploaded the current situation to her SNS.
『Hwarin conveyed the current status to angry fans on social media, saying, “I’m fine. I love everyone who was worried.”』
The public’s anger intensified further.
At the same time, in the underground parking lot of a building.
A very familiar place. When I looked closely, I saw that it was the underground parking lot where Hwarin’s stalker incident took place yesterday. It’s late at night now, so there aren’t many cars and it’s quiet.
At this time.
-Sigh.
A man walks towards a black foreign car from Company B parked in the parking lot. The seat is right in front of the elevator glass doors. The man holding a bag in one hand looked like he was in his 40s and smart. Soon the man got into the driver’s seat of the foreign car and sighed.
“Ugh, I’m so tired.”
He was grumbling, checked his face in the rear-view mirror, started the car, but stopped.
“ah.”
As if something occurred to him, he took out his cell phone from his bag. What the man accessed was the black box app for foreign cars.
“Today is the day to erase, right?”
It was his usual habit. Deleting the videos stored in the black box every week. Because I saw somewhere that it was good to do that. Then, when the man touched the cell phone screen, the black box video that had been saved was displayed on the screen.
What’s unusual is.
“……Eh?”
His eyes widen slightly as he checks the videos. The reason was simple. Because I saw a video that caught my eye among the things stored in the black box. Situations taken right in front of one’s car.
No, is it Yeonghwan? Was there filming in the parking lot? There were scenes in the video that were reminiscent of an action movie.
“What is this?”
The main character was Kang Woo-jin.
