I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 194

I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 194

(United States (9))

It is an emergency. This was Kang Woo-jin’s first thought when he saw the strange situation around the food truck.

‘what? ‘What happened around here?’

No, it is difficult to see it that way. From the beginning, all Americans were standing in line in front of the ‘Our Table’ food truck. weird. There is clearly a problem with that picture. Woojin was clearly embarrassed, but he forced himself to maintain a poker face.

However, except for Woojin, all of the cast of ‘Our Table’ express their shock and embarrassment.

“Why was the line so long??!”

“Hasn’t the line at other food trucks extended to ours?”

“no! “The other places haven’t opened yet!!!”

“At first glance, it looks like there are over 30 people!!!”

Everyone except Kang Woo-jin was flustered. Of course, this scene was vividly captured on the mini-cam installed in the car, and was also filmed by two VJs holding cameras. Meanwhile, today too, Ahn Jong-hak, with his hair neatly slicked back, shouted to Ha Kang-su, who was driving.

“Kangsu! “Pass this for now!”

“You want me to pass by??”

“Oh, just pass by! “What if I get off there and there’s a crowd of people?”

“iced coffee! All right!”

Ha Kang-su, who was in charge of driving, passed the food truck and stopped the van on the shoulder of the road a few hundred meters. At the same time, everyone turned to the rear window of the van. The long line is still visible. Fortunately, the Americans in line weren’t paying attention to the van.

Just waiting for the food truck to open.

At this point, Kang Woo-jin and everyone else were convinced. They were waiting for the ‘Our Table’ food truck and something changed. Otherwise, it was a situation that made no sense. Yesterday, when it opened, there were only flies flying. Of course, there were quite a few customers during the business, but there were a lot more people passing by.

An Jong-hak, who was soon calming down by stroking his hair, picked up his cell phone.

“Are the staff around? Did PD Yoon see that?”

Amid the emergency situation, Ahn Jong-hak quickly tried to call PD Yoon Byeong-seon. But there was no need for that.

-Drur!

Suddenly, the van door opened and PD Byung-seon Yoon, wearing glasses, appeared. As he stood in front of the car door, a wicked smile spread across his lips.

“No, there are so many customers, what are you doing if you’re not open?”

Hwa-rin and Yeon Baek-gwang, whose eyes widened, asked almost the same questions. There was confusion in his voice.

“Is it just open??”

After that, Barge owner Ahn Jong-hak joined in.

“How do you open it in that state? And what are those people? Do you know anything about PD Yoon?”

“Brother, no matter who looks at you, you are a customer.”

“No, I mean, why are there guests from this morning? “You even stood in line.”

“well?”

“…I know. “What are you blowing fast?”

Producer Byung-seon Yoon, who was soon smiling, showed everyone something he had been hiding behind his back.

“Look at this.”

What he held out into the van was a newspaper full of English. What’s unusual is that

“Here and here. Do you see our truck on the front page?”

There was a very familiar photo on the front page of the newspaper. It was the ‘Our Table’ food truck. Producer Byung-seon Yoon, who was marking that part of the newspaper with his index finger, began to explain.

“This is a local newspaper, and our truck was featured in it. No, we were surprised by the crowds of people starting in the morning. So I asked and found out that something like this had happened.”

“…It was published on the front page of the local newspaper.”

“Yes. But what’s more fun is.”

Producer Byung-seon Yoon, who was still smiling, called out Woo-jin Kang, who was looking down at the newspaper indifferently.

“Woojin, do you remember that old couple from yesterday?”

“yes.”

“Well, of course. I was the first guest. “Anyway, the grandfather of the two of you is quite famous here.”

Hong Hye-yeon, with long straight hair, joined in.

“Ah, I heard. He’s a chef who runs a restaurant. “I was surprised to hear that.”

As if that wasn’t the end, PD Byung-seon Yoon took over the baton.

“I looked into the restaurant and found out that it had received one Michelin star. “It was a very famous and well-known restaurant among people around here.”

“Michelin!”

“Wow – awesome. What then? “Woojin received high praise from the chef??!”

When Yeon Baek-gwang got so excited, Kang Woo-jin almost started dancing along with him. Woojin, who could barely bear it, lowered his voice as much as he could.

“Did he start a rumor? “Is that why I got an article?”

“It’s similar. The chef gave me his contact information to let me know when the restaurant opens? I spoke to him on the phone to confirm, and he seems to have recommended our food truck to his friends on his way home yesterday. Among them, there was a reporter who worked for a local newspaper.”

“Did that reporter come to our truck yesterday?”

“yes! But this article was not only published in newspapers but also on the web. It also appeared in local newspapers and on social media.”

“……”

Woojin, who understood the situation, kept his mouth shut. Either way, PD Byung-seon Yoon was excited.

“It’s normal for people to flock to that place!”

Producer Byung-seon Yoon flicked the English newspaper title with his index finger and gave Woo-jin a deep smile.

“I don’t need all of you, Woojin. “Please translate the titles here and there.”

“…’Even a Michelin 1-star chef fell in love with Korean food. The taste of Korean food from a food truck from Korea was fantastic.’” “

You can see it at the very end of the article, right? Yesterday, an interview with the grandfather chef was also published.”

Then, PD Yoon Byeong-seon, who had folded the newspaper, asked a sarcastic question to all the dumbfounded ‘Our Table’ cast members.

“uh? What are you all doing here? Go and open it. Are you going to keep your customers waiting? You’ve only been taking pictures of closed food trucks since a while ago, right? Well, I finished assessing the situation. “Should I quickly go and guide the guests?”

“……”

“I guess those aren’t all the customers? It’s just before opening, so if it goes past opening hours, it might get crowded! ruler! Move move!”

At that moment, Kang Woo-jin thought of the white-haired American grandfather who smiled kindly yesterday. He smiles. For some reason, it appears to overlap with director Anga Bok’s face.

‘……Why do the Korean-American grandfathers around me like to increase their work? Why??!’

And then I had a hunch. Today, that food truck said,

‘Ha-I’m bored.’

It’s going to be a train to hell.

Korea a few hours later.

It was early morning on the 10th. The location is a huge house in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul. At first glance, it seemed like a chaebol would live there, but this house was currently filled with foreigners instead of chaebols. It was the team of world star ‘Miley Cara’ who recently visited Korea.

Her team rented this house.

Although hotels are common, we changed accommodations considering Miley Kara’s safety. Whatever it was, Miley Kara, who had been in Korea for three days, was currently asleep. On the other hand, except for her, the rest of the foreign staff were busy preparing today’s schedule.

Thanks to this, the living room on the first floor of the house is bustling.

Among them, a huge, half-shaven foreign man sitting on the living room sofa stands out. He was Kara’s main manager, and foreigners of all sizes around him were busy reporting things to the Bansak manager. Then, a slim foreign man spit out a question mark.

“Jonathan, but why does Kara only think of ‘Kang Woo-jin’s alt-character’ among the many Korean YouTube channels?”

The half-shaven manager folds his arms. This makes the muscles stand out.

“Who knows what’s inside Kara?”

After answering briefly, he briefly remembered a few days ago.

This was a conversation I had with Miley Kara on the plane before arriving in Korea. It all started with Manager Bansak checking the channel information after Kara declared that she would only appear on the ‘Kang Woo-jin alt-character’ channel.

[Channel name: Kang Woo-jin’s alt.]

[7.88 million subscribers]

[31 videos]

The main channel description was in Korean, but English and Japanese were also listed below. It was natural that the channel was quite large and had many overseas fans. Anyway, Manager Bansak, who was watching the ‘Kang Woo-jin Alternate Character’ channel, immediately raised his head and focused his gaze on Kara’s blue eyes as she sat in the seat.

“Kara, this channel was also on our plans.”

Kara asked back slightly coldly.

“But why are you missing? “It wasn’t on the list I showed you.”

Manager Bansak’s explanation follows immediately.

“It was definitely there when I first investigated. “It looks like they have a huge number of subscribers and each video gets a lot of views.”

“however?”

“Because there is a problem with appearing for the sake of publicity. The channel’s main content is song covers, and of course, sometimes videos of the channel owner communicating with subscribers are uploaded. but.”

“You mean more than 90% of the videos are covers?”

“that’s right. “What we want is appropriate talk, movie promotion, and Kara’s appeal to you, so we think it’s right to contact a channel with those types of characteristics in the first place.”

It wasn’t wrong. No matter how many subscribers you have, if your channel’s concept is solid, promotion will be powerless.

“For your information, there are quite a few channels of that size in Korea. Of course there aren’t many, but they exist. “What we, and the film companies, want is a channel that has an overt promotional nature.”

“Then please find a way.”

“……Hu-”

The half-shaved manager scratched his head as if he was used to it and then continued.

“Okay, I’ll try contacting this channel first. We’ll ask if you can create separate content for us. If you don’t want your channel to do more than cover songs, consider another channel. Of course, because it’s you, Kara, the channel owner might go too far and cut corners, but if we check and it’s poor, you’re out.”

“Hmm-”

“This isn’t something you can do because you’re stubborn. Because there is your image and the film company’s position.”

“of course. Rather, did you know that the owner of that channel is a Korean actor?”

“of course. Since I’ve done some research, I’m a little worried about that too. “I feel like the channel I started as a hobby has grown through luck.”

“hobby? It makes no sense to say that vocal skills are a hobby. And Kang Woo-jin? Although he is not a full-time singer, I like him because he is similar to me. Also, you covered my song beautifully. “If you watch the videos, it looks like you can speak English to some extent.”

Miley Kara gives a cold explanation. The manager, looking at her like that, laughed.

“I guess I see you often. “That channel.”

“sometimes. This actor Kang Woo-jin has a good voice. “I almost want to see acting, which is my main job.”

“……Right.”

The half-skinned manager noticed something and sighed again.

“Are you asking me to find the work of that Korean actor? Of course there are English subtitles.”

“That’s right, so I can see it during the Korean schedule. And about actor Kang Woo-jin.”

“Yes, if you succeed in appearing on that channel.”

The blonde Kara smiled slightly.

“Please take care of me this time too, Jonathan.”

So far. Manager Bansak, who was even reminded of Kara’s smile, returned to the sofa in the living room of a real house.

Then he asked the foreign employees sitting next to him.

“To what extent has the investigation been conducted regarding the Korean actor Kang Woo-jin’s ‘Kang Woo-jin alt’ channel?”

The quick answer was a woman with freckles.

“I’m not sure because I looked into it in a hurry, but I think this is enough for Kara.”

She handed the tablet over to Manager Bansak.

Following.

“But there’s something strange about that Korean actor Kang Woo-jin.”

“hmm? why. “Maybe you committed a crime in the past.”

“No way. It’s not like that, the more I get to know him, the more absurd his writing style is. First, look at the data, Jonathan.”

The half-skinned manager who was looking at her for a moment lowers his gaze to the tablet. A brief survey about Kang Woo-jin was being printed on the screen. But the content was not simple. There may be differences between Korea and Hollywood, but Kang Woo-jin’s overall filmography displayed on the tablet is comparable to that of mid-level or higher in Hollywood.

The half-shaven manager rubs his chin and exclaims in admiration.

“Oh, he was an actor with a stronger filmography than I expected. I’ve heard of director Kwon Ki-taek. Plus director Kyotaro Tanoguchi. Has it expanded into Japan? Isn’t it great? “I worked with Korean masters.”

“All of his Korean works also hit home runs.”

“They even have such a big YouTube channel. Was it top level?”

A freckled woman who changes the mood instantly.

“That’s what we achieved in just one year of debut.”

Shock immediately spread across the interested facial expression of the manager.

“What?”

Meanwhile, the largest room on the second floor of the house.

At first glance, there was nothing missing in the luxurious room. Bed, TV, refrigerator, dining table, table, sofa, bathroom, etc. The level is too much for one person to live on.

A woman with long blonde hair is lying on a bed on the sofa in such a room.

It was Miley Kara. However, she was not asleep, but was lying face down watching TV. To be exact, the Korean drama ‘Profiler Hanryang’. It’s probably connected to Netflix. Of course, English subtitles were included, and the interrogation scene of ‘Deputy Park’ was being displayed on the screen.

Kara, with a slightly cold face, couldn’t take her eyes off ‘Deputy Park’ on TV.

reason?

Because the acting skills of the Korean actor Kang Woo-jin, who has the ‘Kang Woo-jin secondary character’, were beyond imagination.

‘…No, is it you? It feels completely different from the cover video, doesn’t it?’

At this time.

-Knock knock knock.

A knocking sound spreads through the room. Kara, who had tidied up her long blond hair and opened the door, got up and opened the door. There was a big, half-shaven manager standing in front of the door.

“Yes Jonathan.”

The half-skinned manager who handed over the tablet he had brought to Kara spoke English in a very serious tone.

“Kara look at that.”

“What.”

“Something about Kang Woo-jin.”

“already?”

“There are many interesting things about Kang Woo-jin, a Korean actor. “Watch that video before I explain.”

Kara narrowed her brows and lowered her gaze to the screen of the tablet she had been handed. A video was being displayed on the tablet. The main character, of course, is Kang Woo-jin. Kara, who was watching the video for a while, looked embarrassed. With her eyes focused on the video, she asked the manager a small question.

“what? Is this an action movie scene?”

Manager Bansak shook his head.

“No, it’s real. “That also happened a few days ago.”

A few days later on the 13th. Hollywood, LA, USA.

A late morning. The location was Hollywood, known as the home of movies. The Beverly Hotel is a 5-star hotel located in the center of Hollywood. As it is indeed a 5-star luxury hotel, there were many amazing people starting from the lobby. When you pass through the crowded first floor lobby and go to the back of the hotel, the atmosphere changes immediately.

The outdoor garden, designed to resemble a beach, is full of leisure. I saw many foreigners enjoying swimming or sunbathing in the pool.

Somewhere in the middle of the numerous beach benches.

“……”

A pot-bellied man wearing sunglasses catches my eye. Because it looked somewhat reminiscent of Santa Claus. Hair color is somewhere between yellow and white. The man lay on the bench and seemed to be enjoying the sun.

It was then.

“director.”

The Santa man heard a woman’s voice. Soon, the man who turned his head saw a foreign woman with short brown hair wearing a suit. As soon as he sees her, the Santa man enjoys sunbathing again.

“You woke up early.”

“Did you throw your phone into the swimming pool?”

“No way. “It’ll be in the locker.”

“How about you at least be in a visible place?”

“If you get noticed by a casting director, your work will increase.”

The woman sighed and shook her head but changed the subject.

“As the director said, we are continuing to monitor Asian actors.”

“Look at this, work is increasing.”

“…As expected, there is a lot of martial arts in China.”

“I guess so.”

“By the way, do you remember the Korean actor I mentioned before?”

“hmm? “Who was it?”

“The actor named Kang Woo-jin was the one who caught my eye the most at the ‘Mise-en-scène International Film Festival’, a film festival in Korea.”

“Ah, yes, I remember.”

“Regarding that actor recently-”

A short-haired woman took a step closer to the lying Santa and said.

“There’s an interesting video on YouTube about subduing a gangster.”
