I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 198

I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 198

(Special (3))

Studio next to the waiting room.

Now that everything is ready, two men stand in the center of the studio where the screen test will soon take place. One is a Chinese actor who has just arrived. His name was Wang Bang and his costume was a suit. He is similar in height to Kang Woo-jin, but his appearance is slightly pointed.

The remaining one was a foreign man wearing gray short sleeves.

His physique contrasted well with that of Wang Bang standing next to him. They were almost the same height, but their forearm and chest muscles that were visible through their clothes were strong. The hair was short and the face was angular.

It was natural.

Because he was the leader of the stunt team in charge of martial arts in ‘Rask Kill 3’. His name is Gary Peck.

He was also a famous figure in the industry. In Hollywood, Gary is called a stunt coordinator. In Korea, it’s like a martial arts coach. The work is almost the same. Therefore, all the action scenes in ‘Last Kill 3’ were handled by Gary, and he was in charge of all martial arts in the ‘Last Kill’ series.

Therefore, his role was key in this screen test that included martial arts, and he was checking the partition that would replace the mirror.

-Sigh.

I focused my attention on Chinese actor Wang Bang.

“How well did you know the script? “Being unreasonable doesn’t mean you will be evaluated highly, so please be honest.”

Wang Bang nodded once at the English thrown in.

“It’s easy to remember the entire route, but if you go too fast, it can be stuttering.”

“all right. Then, move at the speed you want and stop moving immediately if you find it difficult. Again, it’s a test to see how the mask looks on the screen rather than martial arts.”

“Yes, I understand.”

After hearing the answer, stunt coordinator Gary slowly scanned Wang Bang from head to toe. He was the one who created all the martial arts storyboards for the ‘Last Kill’ series. Because he is such a veteran, he can make a certain judgment just by looking at the aura that the actor usually shows.

‘…What appears is a little lacking. But our physiques are similar. The eyes look a little disappointing. My power is weak. The unconscious movements are also a bit mushy.’

Image result failed. However, the final decision is only made by director George Mendes. All Gary, the action manager, did was help with the concerns.

soon.

-Sigh.

After checking the state of the king’s room, Gary gave a thumbs up toward the long desk in front. This means you can start. Thanks to this, Director George, who resembles Santa, focused his gaze on the monitor in front. The monitor was already displaying Wang Bang and Gary’s front, side, and back views.

“Not bad.”

The men sitting on either side of him help him mutter to himself. They were film company executives.

“But it’s not the picture I wanted. “Didn’t you send the script to China a month ago?”

“I said I didn’t have enough time to prepare my body, but if I prepared for a month and the tension was that high, I didn’t prepare well enough.”

“If it stays like that for a month… Hmm, Coach George. It was said that today’s test was delivered to a Korean actor a few days ago. “Is there any reason to waste time?”

“And if you are thinking of making changes like adding a Korean actor, I would like you to tell me in advance.”

nagging. It was Coach George, who I had heard similar things about before coming here.

“That Korean actor is just a sidekick. “It came at the right time, so I wouldn’t call it a change.”

Therefore, he appropriately ignored it and shouted in English while keeping his eyes on the monitor.

“Let’s take a test!”

Then, one female staff member among the dozens in the back ran to the center of the studio. As soon as she hits the slate, Wang Bang looks straight ahead. To be exact, look at Gary three steps ahead. The acting, not just the staring, began. There had to be a clear look of life in his eyes.

Director George checks it on a monitor as it is displayed in person.

‘Hmm, the weight in the eyes isn’t enough. It’s not scary. A degree of hate rather than life.’

Chinese actor Wang Bang, who was glaring at Gary for a moment, moves his feet. Originally, there were lines. However, because Wang Bang was so nervous, he seemed to have forgotten the line and reached out his hand near Gary’s neck.

-Park!

The speed is mediocre. Neither fast nor slow. A picture that looks more like a rehearsal than an action. Still, Gary calmly accepts Wang Bang’s fist. I grab the fist that extends towards my neck. Break your wrists. With my remaining hand, I grabbed the back of Wang Bang’s neck. Dispersion of gaze. The real thing is knees rising from below.

-puck!

The king’s room allows the first shot as is. But he hits the second one with the same knee.

Gradually, the speed of matching the sum increases.

but.

“It was cut.”

In the middle of the test, Coach George got angry and stopped the two of them from practicing martial arts. And then he asked Wang Bang, who was slightly out of breath.

“Mr. Wang Bang, look at the front camera here and think about what you want to eliminate.”

“All right.”

“It’s not just about thinking about it, it’s about putting into your eyes the emotions you’re feeling right before you attack.”

“……”

About 10 seconds later.

“Okay.”

Coach George, who announced the end of the test, muttered softly.

“That guy passes.”

after.

The next batter enters the studio. This time, it was a Chinese actor. It was natural that today’s test itself was originally intended only for Chinese actors. This actor also goes through the same process as Wang Bang. Director George’s signal after stunt coordinator Gary’s inspection.

“action.”

The slate noise echoing in the studio. Dozens of officials and staff, including the director, watching the actor’s martial arts skills displayed on the monitor.

In this way, the test gradually speeds up.

Contrary to Wang Bang, this Chinese actor received very good evaluations.

“Good?”

“Well, the clear route is also the same. “I have prepared properly.”

“It goes well with both the mask and the monitor.”

Although they may be the same Chinese actors, they were also competing with each other. You may not know it, but thousands of candidates must have been eliminated to fill this small role, and among them, the three actors who best suited the role were selected.

Later, a third Chinese actor appeared.

This time too, the reviews were good. Similar or slightly better than the second actor. Thanks to this, Director George’s expression as he looks at the monitor brightens little by little. The same goes for the executives sitting around. Before you know it, dozens of staff members, including the caddy producer team, are even applauding the actor’s passionate performance.

-Clap clap clap clap!

Gary, who looked slightly out of breath, gave the Chinese actor a thumbs up.

“You did well. Your breathing and gaze were good.”

“thank you.”

Soon a third Chinese actor leaves the studio. Before long, the staff were whispering about the next actor.

“Is it next?”

“Yes, this time it’s the Korean actor.”

“The second and third Chinese actors may be compared because their quality is so good.”

“But when I took a quick look at you earlier, I thought you had the best appearance.”

“Ah, that’s right.”

at that time.

-Sigh.

A Korean actor enters the studio entrance. That is, Kang Woo-jin in a suit. The staff glance at Woojin. In particular, the eyes of the short-haired brown-haired Megan of the caddy team and the black-haired Joseph of the producer team are stinging. Joseph, who is over 190 tall, even waved a big hand at Woojin.

As a result, attention is focused.

The eyes of all the foreigners gathered in this studio follow Kang Woo-jin as he calmly enters.

On the other hand.

“……”

Woojin, with an indifferent face, stood in the center of the studio with an upright posture without shaking. ‘No one noticed his quirk

’ and the dog’s burden. They’re all foreigners! It’s exactly the same as just filming, right??!’

Soon, stunt coordinator Gary next to him scanned Kang Woo-jin. Just looking at the face, something was a bit strange. And cold.

‘The mask atmosphere is good. Have you ever played a villain? It has a unique smell. It’s a feeling of weight mixed with a bit of psychosis.’

Gary, who was muttering to himself, greeted Woojin.

“nice to meet you.”

Kang Woo-jin answered in a low tone. In English, of course.

“Hello, this is Kang Woo-jin.”

“Have you experienced any action cuts in Korea?”

“It wasn’t the main thing, but I can say I tried it to some extent. “I’m also preparing.”

“…You speak English quite well.”

“thank you.”

Although it was an appropriate conversation, Woojin’s fluent English that was felt in it surprised everyone, including director George Mendes.

‘Oh, your English skills are good… and your voice is also good.’

‘practice? No, judging by his pronunciation and leisure, he must have lived in America.’

‘There was no shortage of Chinese actors… but these Korean actors can’t be compared to them.’

Because there was so little expectation, expectations immediately rose. Megan and Joseph, who had been bickering from the beginning, exchanged whispers of praise.

“What is it, Megan? That Korean actor…is his name Kang Woo-jin? You’re handsome. And what is that margin? “I thought you’d be nervous because it’s been a while since you debuted.”

“I didn’t say it, but that actor once personally subdued a gunman in Korea. But I think it’s calmer than I thought.”

“A monster? “What do you mean by that?”

Anyway, English is English and martial arts is martial arts. In the midst of all the noise, Director George, who was hungry, looked at Gary, who was standing next to Kang Woo-jin.

means to start.

Soon Gary, who had strong muscles, asked Woojin.

“How well did you know the script? Ah, that’s right. Did you say it was a few days ago that you received this test? Then focus on camera movement rather than martial arts.”

“No, you can do it comfortably.”

“yes? No, that’s what I have to say…”

“Is that so? “It meant that I was familiar with all the scripts and digesting them was no problem.”

“Oh okay. Then start at your desired level. “Never overdo it.”

“All right.”

When Kang Woo-jin answered calmly, Gary narrowed his eyebrows slightly.

‘What is this leisure? Since you know you’re lacking anyway, did you gain some confidence? Anyway, it’s clear that he’s a difficult actor to understand.’

First, I showed my thumb to George at the front table. The director’s autograph followed.

“action.”

A slate hit by a running female staff member.

backwards.

-Suuuuu.

In a short moment, Kang Woo-jin, who had imprinted the ‘martial arts’ that elevated his role at a speed that no one could notice, spread through his veins, suddenly closed his eyes. And then he took a deep breath.

“Seup-hu.”

It was an action that none of the previous Chinese actors had done. However, Kang Woo-jin continues his acting without any hesitation. Suddenly, the air surrounding him became calm.

Within.

“……”

Kang Woo-jin, with a cold yet eerily calm face, slowly opens his eyes. Gary is visible right away. Woojin checks him and maintains light breathing for a moment. Eyes fixed on Gary. Gradually, something dark condenses in Kang Woo-jin’s eyes.

Purpose or killing intent.

The completed image is shot through Woojin’s eyes and into his gaze. Suddenly, the calm air surrounding Kang Woo-jin was filled with life. For a moment, Gary’s eyebrows twitch and his tension rises. This is my first time testing today.

‘The surroundings haven’t changed. This is the air created by that Korean actor.’

performance. Yes, it’s acting. But for some reason, Gary gradually forgot that acting was a thing. However, it became clear that he had been singled out as prey.

That moment.

-Sure.

Kang Woo-jin, who had stopped, takes a step forward. Long strides. There is no problem with walking. That unstoppable energy merges with the deadly force it emits.

Gary, without me even knowing.

-Sureuk.

I took one foot back. It was a ready position. Anyway, Kang Woo-jin, who had come very close, stretched out his right arm without any preparation or glance.

The target is Gary’s neck.

But failed. However, Kang Woo-jin’s hand grabbed Gary’s collar instead of his neck. His expression was still stern, and all his actions were stoic. Gary, holding the collar with his left hand, grabbed the back of Woojin’s neck.

Pull it down.

-Park!

Woojin hit the rising knee with the same knee. Then he grabs the hand holding the back of his neck and twists it. Gary’s moans spread slightly.

“Sigh!”

Woojin quickly turns the hand he was holding in the opposite direction. Gary’s body turns naturally. The back is clear. Woojin’s knees rise quickly. Aim for the soft part of the side.

-puck! puck!

Two attempts were allowed, but Gary reversed the bent arm and freed the restraints. He kicks Kang Woo-jin in the stomach. Woojin’s body is pushed back. Gary rushes in right away. Kang Woo-jin uses that power to knock Gary over.

-Papak!!

It’s disadvantageous. Block rather than extend your arm. Gary covers his face with both hands. A solid shield was formed, but Woojin paid no heed to it and stabbed the side of his face, which was covered by the shield, with his elbow. Once and again. Then I heard a popping noise. Gary lifted both feet and covered Woojin’s face and threw him to the side.

Kang Woo-jin flies away with a swish.

Gary quickly raises his body and gets into position.

“Huh!”

Woojin, who was about two steps away, stands up quickly and strides towards Gary again. It’s not that he wasn’t worried, it was an expression that only had ‘murder’ in his brain to begin with. remove remove remove. Only removal.

Kang Woo-jin and Gary face each other again.

However, this time neither of them attack right away. Because we checked each other’s form. Woojin and Gary stare into each other’s eyes and wave their arms in the air. The idea was to grab whatever arrived.

It was Gary who moved first.

-hook!!

He kicks his foot in the space between Woojin’s spread legs. Kang Woo-jin blocked it with his knee. Then he immediately grabs Gary’s outstretched foot and pushes him to the floor. The two quickly become entangled.

“Huh!”

“……”

Kang Woo-jin, breathing quickly and expressionless, was about to make his next move.

“Ker cut!!!”

I hear a familiar man’s cry. It was directed by George Mendes. When I looked, my eyes widened. It’s like a shocked Santa Claus. Director George alternately looks at Kang Woo-jin on the monitor and Kang Woo-jin in reality with his widened eyes.

‘……oh my god.’

I was possessed. It was just that kind of expression. All the foreigners in this studio, including Megan from the caddy team and Joseph the producer, have the same face. There were many staff who didn’t even know they had opened their mouths.

I wanted to know what I just saw with my own eyes.

At the same time, Director George, who was staring intently at the monitor, moved his wide eyes. Seeing Kang Woo-jin in the center of the studio. He was already up with Gary shaking off his suit.

“Filming for Mr. Kang Woo-jin will begin in June next year.”

“yes.”

“The roles shown now will join the team starting around August. “Before that, we’ll practice the action combination with the actors.”

“……”

“That role is yours. It’s perfect. A remote LAN meeting may be necessary, but I don’t think Woojin needs that. Personally, I would like you to join from April.”

In short, you are first and you pass.

The staff is buzzing. It was natural since this was the first time something like this had happened. It was impossible to get the role right away without being quite smitten. Because the screen test is not the end. However, a Korean actor just won a role in Hollywood in his first attempt. It was only a minor role, but I did it.

Normally, you should cheer with open arms.

but.

“hmm.”

Kang Woo-jin, who has an indifferent face, slightly folds his face. And then I started calculating something in my head. However, it didn’t take long.

Just 5 seconds.

It was exactly 5 seconds later that Kang Woo-jin’s low voice came out.

“Ah, then it will be difficult for me. “I think it would be nice to see you next time if I get the chance.”

Director George, who was dazed, closed his eyes.

“What?”

At this time, Joseph, a tall black man who was the head producer among the staff behind him, let out a small laugh.

“Oh my god. What are you talking about, that special piece of paper?”

Because Kang Woo-jin got his first role in Hollywood.
