I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 197
I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 197
(Special (2))
Kang Woo-jin was in the van.
The location is on a busy road in Hollywood. The van Woojin was riding in was large, but surprisingly the number of people riding it was small. Kang Woo-jin and Choi Seong-gun hired drivers and two BW Entertainment employees, including an interpreter.
Everyone else is waiting at the dorm.
Meanwhile, Kang Woo-jin, looking out the window, was dressed in a suit from top to bottom. He didn’t have a tie, but he wore shoes.
“……”
A face with a serious poker face.
‘Wow – there are a lot of people. Is it Hollywood after all? ‘I’ve never seen that much of a crowd.’
However, on the inside, I couldn’t help but be surprised to see the foreigners flocking around like a swarm of ants. Where on earth are these incredible people of all races headed? The dense buildings on both sides were also fascinating.
No, everything you see is new.
Bus stops, crosswalks, etc. These are obviously things that exist in Korea as well, but they feel different. Feels like you’re in a movie?
At this time.
“Woojin.”
Choi Seong-geon, who was sitting in the passenger seat and writing something in his diary earlier, turned his head.
“According to the navigation, we will arrive in 10 minutes, but the road is so congested that it will take longer. Do you see the sign over there? “The one with ‘Winner Movie Pictures’ written on it.”
Kang Woo-jin followed Choi Seong-gun’s index finger and checked the sign visible on the rooftop of a building in the distance.
“Yes, I can see it.”
“There, there. “Ugh, running would be a hundred times faster.”
If you can clearly see the sign, you’re almost there. Still, the road is blocked, so it will take several tens more minutes. Therefore, Woojin.
“Hmm-”
I slowly crossed my legs and lifted the script on my lap. Of course, there was a swirling black square right next to it. It was provided by ‘Winner Movie Pictures’.
‘One more time before we start?’
Kang Woo-jin seemed to be preparing for the upcoming screen test.
-Hook.
I stabbed the black square with my index finger. In an instant, his background changed from a congested road to an infinitely dark sub-space.
Woojin, who entered a familiar subspace, stretches out.
“Ah-!!”
The concept that was all over my face was also relieved. Woojin felt much more comfortable and walked towards where several white squares appeared. Among them, I focused my attention on the last one I saw.
-[10/page script (title: unknown) Grade F (unable to judge)]
-[*The level of completion is very low. Damaged script or screenplay. 100% reading is impossible. (Approximately 30% feasible)]
A phrase I haven’t seen in quite a while. Kang Woo-jin’s first experience reading in subspace was also a side script. Next, Kang Woo-jin casually chose a white square with a side script. The visible letters change quickly.
There are only two roles.
Well, I’ve already tried reading (experience), but due to the nature of subspace, the more repetitions the better.
There it is.
“It feels like my body is strangely becoming lighter-”
Woojin felt his body becoming more flexible. The exact reason is unknown, but it is possible to guess. Perhaps the ‘martial arts’ you have acquired will help you grow. Of course, it was obvious that it was a subspace ability.
anyway.
-Sigh.
Kang Woo-jin chose the role in the script. Soon, a robotic female voice spread throughout subspace.
[“……Ready. Damaged script or screenplay. The implementation level is about 30%. “The reading begins.”]
Something soon struck Woojin. It was soon before shapes began to appear in his vision again. It is not a subspace. The temperature was ambiguous. Should I say no? Kang Woo-jin was clearly in some kind of space, but it was difficult to explain.
Mostly because everything was blurry.
Woojin is standing there. Unusually, the clothes he wore were vivid. suit. Around him, mirrors the size of a human body were studded here and there. Because it’s blurry, you can’t tell what’s reflected in the mirror. The bottom is brown. The ceiling is black. It is difficult to estimate the area.
and.
-Sigh.
At that moment, someone appeared between the mirrors. Is his height similar to Kang Woo-jin? Likewise, it is a suit, but everything except the silhouette of the face is gray. It seems as if there were no snow leaves to begin with. As soon as he saw the person, several things became clear to Kang Woo-jin, who was standing in the space.
To be more precise, emotions are struck.
Is it the beginning? Living in the middle. Remove the end.
Those three things made Kang Woo-jin, who had stopped, move. I didn’t feel like anything else was happening.
only one.
eliminate.
Now, Kang Woo-jin’s mind is filled with only purpose.
thus.
-Sigh.
Kang Woo-jin’s feet, wearing shoes, moved, and his eyes showed a subtle murderous intent. It gradually becomes darker.
Be agile. Bristle. Feel your breathing. Notice the distortion of even the smallest muscles. Break your neck. The opponent is not easy. So it will only be a moment.
Be determined.
This moment.
-Park!
Kang Woo-jin, who had gotten closer to the opponent, aimed for his neck with his right hand, and the gray-faced person blocked his hand and raised his knee to Woo-jin’s empty side. From here, you will enter a strange space
– Pak! puck! widely!
Only a short hitting sound rang out.
The white building owned by ‘Winner Movie Pictures.’
A building comprised entirely of sets and studios. Among them, the 4th floor, where the screen test of ‘Last Kill 3’ will soon take place, was roughly ready.
Mats were spread across the floor of the large space, and the windows were covered to partially block the strong light coming from outside. Cameras on tripods were set up in the north, south, east and west of the studio, and model partitions were installed here and there starting in the middle. It replaces the mirror that appears in the scenario.
A long table was placed in front of the entrance of the studio, and several monitors were placed on top of it. You can also see two cameras set up here.
Even if you look at it, it was quite large.
More than 5 cameras were deployed, and there were over 30 foreign staff members busy working throughout the studio. What about the elaborate props? Indeed, it felt completely different from a typical audition.
Whatever it is, there are dozens of foreign staff members of all genders and races.
“Honestly, I didn’t know they would even install mirrors.”
“It’s a screen test. “I’m glad I didn’t set up a real mirror.”
“Hahaha, is that so? But aren’t there more cameras than last time?”
“It’s probably because it’s a test that involves action.”
The setting ends with everyone having a quick chat.
“I heard a Korean actor was added among the actors participating today?”
“I heard so. “It’s sudden, but director George Mendes has a very strange side.”
“Still, it’s a bit sudden. In the original scenario, he was listed as a Chinese character. “A Korean actor who we haven’t even talked about before.”
“I am familiar with Korea. I went to Seoul last year. However, there is no impression that Korean actors are good at martial arts. “It’s hard to see it in Hollywood and there’s no data.”
“Well, you often see Chinese actors, but Korean actors are rare. “Is it a good assortment?”
“maybe? I think the main ones will be the Chinese actors who originally decided to come. “Are Korean actors using it as an experiment?”
As the staff was walking around the studio, the glass door opened and foreigners entered again. Roughly fifteen people. However, this group looks significantly older. The leader among them is a man who looks like Santa.
In other words, it was director George Mendes who was in charge of this screen test.
The people around Director George are roughly executives from film companies or key staff members from the filming team. After that, a familiar female caddy (casting director), Megan Stone, and her team of producers who coordinated the entire film production followed. Compared to Korea, these two teams had a much greater influence in Hollywood.
In particular, the producer team’s influence is at a typhoon level.
In the first place, Hollywood’s system itself is completely different from Korea’s, and the scale of the investment is also beyond imagination. Therefore, the power of the producer team, which is in charge of the overall production, including film companies, investment companies, directors, and actors, is bound to be powerful. Additionally, in Hollywood, a team of producers participated in several works.
The producer team of ‘Last Kill 3’ is also working on several works at the same time.
Soon, the caddy team leader, brown-haired Megan Stone, looked at the studio set up and crossed her arms. Then I spoke to the leader of the producer team standing next to me.
“It’s a little simple, isn’t it?”
Then the leader of the producer team laughs. He was a tall, black man over 190 cm tall. His name is Joseph Felton.
“You’re telling me to prepare 48 mirrors for one screen test? “That’s a waste.”
“But you should have installed it at least around the person.”
“If you save money on preparation, the quality of your filming will increase. Rather, a Korean actor who suddenly became involved. Megan I heard you recommended it? “What kind of crazy thoughts are you thinking about again?”
“well. “I just contacted an actor that Director George was impressed with.”
“……The director was interested in Korean actors? Are you good at it? Or is it for marketing?”
“You will know when you see it for yourself. Mind your own business. “There are a lot of works other than ‘Last Kill 3,’ right?”
The tall Joseph shrugged his shoulders.
“calm down. It’s just that I’ve become interested in Korean actors these days. Of course, we cannot ignore the funds coming from China, but these days, it feels like the quality of Korean actors is better. “Looking at the growing Korean Wave, Korean culture cannot be ignored.”
“That’s the flow.”
“Miley Kara also went to Korea this time to promote her new work, right? The need for the Korean Wave is gradually increasing among the public. So, is the Korean actor who sang this time famous? Do you have any experience in Hollywood?”
Perhaps a little annoyed, the short-haired Megan took a transparent file from the staff and handed it over.
“He’s famous, but his career is short, so his filmography is unique. Joseph, see for yourself.”
Joseph, a tired black man, opened the file he had received. In an instant, his eyes widen. Because the content was very fresh.
“……1 year? So you debuted this year? What, you’re a rookie? “Did you call an actor like this?”
It was then.
“Standby!!”
A male staff member shouted to the entire studio. Then, dozens of people who were finishing up left the studio. As a result, the number of staff members, which had been dozens, was reduced to about half, and their seats were behind the long desk in front.
-Sigh.
Next, director George Mendes, who had a big belly, and the key staff who came with him stood around the camera set up in the studio, and director George and several others sat at a long desk. As he sat down, it seemed like Santa Claus had appeared.
Director George like that.
“Well then, let’s get started.”
He looked back at the gathered staff and chanted in English.
“Let’s start by checking the set with the stunt coordinator team.”
Soon, several monitors placed in front of him turned on and began displaying output throughout the studio.
Meanwhile.
When Kang Woo-jin first arrived at this four-story building, he was not very nervous.
‘Oh – is this a place to see a screen test or something? Ordinary?’
Because there was nothing special about it. However, that was a miscalculation. Kang Woo-jin opens his mouth as soon as he enters the first floor and sees the inside of the building. I didn’t know that this entire building was a set and a studio. Since all the staff coming in and out were foreigners, Woojin’s heart slowly began to beat.
As expected, the scene was completely different.
Thanks to this, by the time Kang Woo-jin got into the elevator, there was a reasonable amount of tension. This wasn’t nervous about the screen test. It was trembling due to my first experience. An unfamiliar country, staff speaking different languages, a field the size of the world is different, an unfamiliar tense atmosphere, etc.
But I can’t seem like a fool when I’ve come this far.
‘Oh, you’re so scared of mind control. I don’t know, this is Gangnam. Oh, Gangnam.’
In the elevator, Woo-jin calms his pounding heart while discreetly taking deep breaths, and his cynicalness goes up to the extreme. Then, a deeper coldness and cool-headedness than usual spread throughout my body.
Okay, concept is complete.
Soon, Kang Woo-jin arrived at the waiting room where he was guided. It was okay up to this point. The problem was the other actors in the waiting room. A total of 3 people. They all wore the same suit as Kang Woo-jin.
‘Eh? For some reason, he doesn’t seem to be Japanese. Is it from China?’
It was the same Asia, but not Japan. What can I say, these strangely Chinese-looking faces. Since it was clear that Kang Woo-jin was the only Korean actor anyway, Woo-jin confirmed that the actors who arrived first were Chinese.
‘Is it famous? First of all, I don’t know. But their expressions are so bloody.’
The Chinese actors’ faces are frozen. They seem to know each other well, so they are gathered together, but all three actors look at Kang Woo-jin, a Korean actor who has just opened the door. No, it’s closer to glaring. The actors and staff behind them are whispering among themselves.
at that time.
“I’ll start with Wang Bang.”
At the shout of a foreign male staff member, one of the Chinese actors leaves the waiting room.
Either way, in Kang Woo-jin’s mind.
‘Seup- look at these.’
Something irritated me. It felt exactly like that. Appeared as a representative in the national competition. Well, speaking as a member of the national team, the stakes aren’t that great, but it still sucks to lose, right? Soon, Kang Woo-jin sat down nearby, his expression becoming even more determined.
together.
‘I don’t know, so I’ll put it all back together first.’
The results will come later, and for now, all I can think about is beating those Chinese actors. The desire to win or the will to win. A war or battle alone. It doesn’t matter what the word is. This was not a desire to join the work. It’s just a purely instinctive desire. Well, only Choi Seong-gun and Kang Woo-jin are aware of this situation.
‘If I lose, I won’t be able to go to Korea and stretch my legs.’
Woojin decided to stand out in this field.
