I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 200
I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 200
(Year-end (1))
Joseph Felton, a tall black producer who appeared to be over 190 cm tall, stood in front of Woojin Kang. They are even handing out business cards. Joseph is so big that Woojin and the foreigners on the producer team behind him feel small.
Soon, Kang Woo-jin flinched slightly.
‘Wow, you’re surprised. If you look at it right in front, it looks really bad. Daeyoung Kim can’t even straighten his shoulders.’
I had seen it in the studio earlier, but seeing it in front of my eyes like this, Joseph’s size was so enormous. Still, Woojin, who was already equipped with a strong concept, accepted the business card that Joseph held out as indifferently as possible.
“Yes, I’m Kang Woo-jin.”
Joseph suddenly shakes hands with Woojin cheerfully.
“haha. The above test was amazing. I have quite a bit of experience as a producer, but this is the first time I have seen such a fresh sight. “I think it will remain in my memory for a long time.”
what. Is it a compliment? First of all, Woojin received his greeting appropriately.
“thank you.”
At this time, ponytail Choi Seong-geon, who was standing behind him, whispered to Woojin with a smile on his face.
“who is this? guard?”
“No, the producer who was also there during the screen test.”
“ah! producer?? Huh – this is you?”
After noticing Choi Seong-gun’s movements, Joseph took out his business card again.
“My name is producer Joseph Felton. Are you Kang Woo-jin’s manager?”
Choi Seong-geon, who received the business card, takes out his own. The English is a little awkward, but the voice is full of power.
“Yes, I am the manager and representative of Kang Woo-jin’s agency.”
“oh! is that so? You represent an agent! Nice to meet you. You are taking care of a fantastic actor.”
“Yes, I think so too.”
“Hahaha, CEO, you should have seen the testing process. “The actor here turned the scene upside down!”
Joseph Felton continued the conversation comfortably on the sidewalk, perhaps because he was playful or because the tension was high. Seeing him like that, Choi Seong-geon smiled, but was serious on the inside.
‘Is this really a Hollywood producer? He has no hesitation and is generous. Well, a producer in this huge market deserves it.’
Seong-geon Choi had a vague sense of Joseph Felton’s power. In Hollywood, where all parts were systemized, the producer was the most powerful person. Moreover, Hollywood producers do not manage only one project at a time. The better your ability, the more involved you are in large-scale works.
‘If you’re the producer of the ‘Last Kill’ series, you’re probably one of the most well-known producers in Hollywood.’
Choi Seong-gun’s quick guess was correct. Currently, Joseph Felton is handling a total of three Hollywood productions, and it is safe to say that there is no one in this Hollywood version who does not know a producer named Joseph.
The tall Joseph spoke again to Kang Woo-jin with a smile on his face.
“Well, I’m not a casting director. However, I know how to see an actor’s tension and energy. “The energy and firmness you showed in the test are rare.”
Kang Woo-jin answered calmly.
“Is that so?”
Joseph Felton took a step closer to Woojin and hushed his voice.
“The Chinese actors seen in that test were representatives who had spent a lot of time selecting, and the executives at the film company, including the director, had the same thoughts. It was almost confirmed that a Chinese actor would take the role. “You were an extra.”
“……”
“That is reversed. Just one scene, just once. Mr. Woojin not only ‘won’ the role from the Chinese actors, but also ‘gave it’ to them. It was an acceptance, not a victory. “It’s Woojin, not the director.”
Joseph, who was whispering, raised his thumb.
“It was a scene you don’t see often. “Your martial arts and your energy.”
Then, as the producer team members in the back took action while showing the time, Joseph seemed to be busy, and a look of disappointment appeared on his face.
“If you’re feeling like this, you should at least share a beer, but it’s a shame. Kang Woo-jin, please remember the business card I gave you when you came to Hollywood again.”
“All right.”
“Are you going back to Korea now?”
“Ah, I have some time left on my flight, so I’d like to look around for a while.”
Joseph’s smile immediately deepened and he pointed backwards with his thumb. There was a large film studio decorated like an amusement park, one of Hollywood’s famous attractions.
“I will contact you so you can take a closer look inside. If you say my name, you will be guided by a staff member at the entrance. “Have fun in Hollywood.”
After shaking Woojin’s hand again, Joseph Felton turns and walks away toward the building’s elevator. It looks like there’s still some work left to do regarding ‘Last Kill 3’. Meanwhile, some of the foreign staff among the group that came with him were looking at Kang Woo-jin and whispering.
“Did that Korean actor receive Joseph’s business card just now?”
“I was so surprised. Even if they are top Hollywood actors.”
“Even to a Korean actor I saw for the first time today?”
On the other hand, Kang Woo-jin, dressed in a suit, roughly stuffed the business card he received into his pocket. And then he focused his gaze on Choi Seong-gun.
“Shall we go to the place he said?”
“It’s all natural, dude. Well, I guess I’ll have to take the kids to the dorm too. “It would be great if we were able to film it at least.”
At this time, the van that Kang Woo-jin and Choi Seong-gun were waiting for stopped on the shoulder of the road.
Meanwhile.
-Smurf.
Joseph Felton, who had just entered the elevator, instructed something to a bald-headed foreigner standing right next to him in the group moving with him.
“Robert, an actor named Kang Woo-jin. Please do some detailed research. From the footsteps so far to the people around the famous works in Korea. “You have to figure it out clearly so failures like today won’t happen again.”
“All right. But why are you so interested? Of course, it was great during testing… but is it because of the Korean Wave? Or are you thinking about marketing?”
“Korean Wave – yes, we can’t ignore that part either. But that’s not all. “At the moment, I can’t explain it other than just intuition.”
“A hunch?”
“I think that actor will explode the scale of the Korean Wave many times over in the near future.”
Joseph, a tall black man, smiled and answered softly.
“The business card I gave you today is for that time.”
after.
The ‘Our Table’ team arrived in Korea after completing a fairly long filming around lunchtime on the 17th. There were hundreds of reporters and fans gathered at the airport. Huge crowd. Even when the cast of ‘Our Table’ was promoting Korean food in LA, the news of ‘Our Table’ was spreading one after another in Korea, which made the reporters even more excited.
“Producer Yoon!! I heard it was featured in a local newspaper in LA!! “Is there any other news??!”
“What was the reaction of local people in LA??!!”
“this way!! This way!! “Please look here!!”
“Hwarin!! “How was it in LA with Kang Woo-jin, who took down the gunman!!”
“I saw an article where a chef in LA praised Woojin’s food!! Hong Hye-yeon!! Have you seen the chef in person?!”
Although it was blocked by guards, hundreds of reporters asked questions without stopping, and fans who were gathered in the crowd also poured out gifts and welcomes. The airport arrival hall immediately turned into chaos. Thanks to this, the ‘Our Table’ team had to get out as quickly as possible.
At this time, some of the gathered crowd noticed something strange.
“uh??! Woojin oppa! “There is no Woojin oppa!”
“omg! Is it real??”
“Kang Woo-jin! “Isn’t Kang Woo-jin the only one??”
The atmosphere was quickly contagious to reporters.
“There is no Kang Woo-jin!”
“Producer Yoon! Where is Kang Woo-jin??!”
“Are you staying in LA?!”
“Was there a problem with the entry process??”
However, the ‘Our Table’ team left the airport without any response. It was because of concerns about an accident.
This part quickly spread on the Internet as an article.
『[Issue Pick] The ‘Our Table’ team returning from LA / Photos』
『The cast of ‘Our Table’ waving to reporters, all looking tired』
The photos taken at the airport or the return of the ‘Our Table’ cast were the main ones, but The absence of Kang Woo-jin was also discussed very loudly.
『The ‘Our Table’ team returned to Korea today… But Kang Woo-jin is not there?』
『[Star Photo] Kang Woo-jin is the only one left in LA?』
Of course, rumors and gossip are flying around in no time. Well, reporters could naturally think it was strange. Only Kang Woo-jin did not return.
『The entire ‘Our Table’ team has returned, but Kang Woo-jin is the only one missing… Maybe he has a schedule in LA.』
Kang Woo-jin’s issues that had already been burning around the time he was in LA are growing in size again.
『Where is the hero who saved from the attack by a gunman? Why did Hwarin return to Korea?/ Photo』
『Kang Woo-jin did not come to Korea. Global superstar ‘Miley Cara’ and ‘Kang Woo-jin’s alt-character’ channel may not film filming ↑』 Woo-jin
in full swing As the story spread loudly, BW Entertainment released an official statement.
『[Official] BW Entertainment said, “The reason Kang Woo-jin did not enter the country was because he took a short break in LA.”』
From what actually happened, only the story about ‘Lask Kill 3’ was left out.
At this time, people in a large van driving on the highway in Seoul were also talking about the news about Kang Woo-jin. Miley Cara and her team will conclude their Korean schedule in the late afternoon of tomorrow, the 18th.
The blonde Kara was looking at her tablet with her legs crossed. To be exact, the article being printed.
“Are you sure Kang Woo-jin will be arriving in Korea before tomorrow?”
The half-shaven haired manager sitting next to her answered her slightly cold question in English.
“okay. I spoke to his agent. “He’s scheduled to arrive in Korea tonight, and his scheduled shoot with us tomorrow morning will be no problem.”
She nodded slowly and thought of Kang Woo-jin as she brushed her blonde hair. His outrageous filmography, various issues, and even his acting skills.
“Hmm, I wonder what it would be like in person.”
“That goes for me too. Rather, have you checked what the ‘Kang Woo-jin alt’ channel suggested?”
“You mean the filming content?”
Kara answered and changed the screen of the tablet she was looking at. This was an explanation of the filming contents sent by ‘Kang Woo-jin’s side character’. Kara, who was looking down at that, changed the direction of her crossed legs.
“Singing my song as a duet. This is what I originally expected. Cooking after the talk. You can do things like promote movies here. “I like the fact that you cook, and if you’re featured in a local newspaper in LA, that means you’re good enough, right?”
“If you look at the article, it says that a Michelin 1-star chef gave it high praise.”
“therefore. “But if you say you’ll cook what I want, is it really okay for me to say anything?”
“well. Everything must be difficult. “Kang Woo-jin’s main profession is not a chef, but an actor.”
“…But what is this ‘Avatar Cooking’? “The explanation is that I cook and Kang Woo-jin teaches, but I can’t imagine it.”
“Literally. It seems like content for fun, but as Kang Woo-jin said, you cook while moving. “If it’s inconvenient, we can refuse.”
After hearing the explanation, Kara raised her blue eyes and fell into thought for a moment. That was about 5 seconds. The corner of her mouth twitched for some reason and she shook her head.
“no. “Do you think it would be fun?”
“Kara, think seriously. “You can’t cook.”
“Isn’t that what allows you to do that?”
“Kang Woo-jin will have to suffer. “Think carefully, and many fans and media in Korea are paying attention.”
For reference, Miley Kara attended various events and interviews at luxury brand parties during her schedule in Korea, but did not appear on the YouTube channel. The first appearance on the ‘Kang Woo-jin Alternate’ channel will be tomorrow.
“Yes, I know. Tell them all they will do it anyway. “I’m looking forward to it.”
Manager Bansak sighed.
“Huh-okay, okay. “Think about the comments and dishes that will be used in the talk.”
“huh.”
It was at this time.
-♬♪
Her cell phone let out a short beep. It was a message, and Kara’s blue eyes widened slightly after checking the other person.
‘Joseph??’
The person who sent the message was Joseph Felton, a famous Hollywood producer. Kara, who immediately saw the tall black face of Joseph, confirmed the information.
-Joseph Felton: Kara, how was your time in Korea? I was looking at your social media and wanted to know what you were up to, so I contacted you. I heard you’re appearing on a Korean actor’s YouTube channel? I’ve become somewhat interested in Korea these days, so I’m looking forward to it.
As Kara tilted her head and replied as if she understood, Joseph’s message arrived again.
-Joseph Felton: I’ll call you when I get back later and let’s have a beer and talk about what Korea was like.
Kara narrowed her eyes after seeing the message. Then I asked the manager sitting next to me.
“…Joseph. “Have you heard that you’ve been interested in Korea recently?”
The manager who was looking at his phone shrugged his shoulders.
“at all. “I heard that you were in charge of producing ‘Last Kill 3’ this time. There’s no way you would be interested in Korea when you only have a few works under your belt.”
“yes?”
Kara gave her blonde hair a small scratch.
“What are you planning?”
same night.
The man who left the still crowded airport stands out. I pulled my hat down and covered my face with a mask. It was Kang Woo-jin who entered the country as a thief in preparation for the influx of reporters and fans.
‘Seup-ha, yes, this is the air. Oh, really, home is the best!’
Kang Woo-jin, who was clearly thrilled, got into the prepared van. Although he couldn’t see the dozens of noisy reporters, Woojin felt comfortable here.
‘It was really long.’
For now, I just wanted to enjoy the feeling of being back in Korea alone. At this time, Choi Seong-geon, who was sitting in the passenger seat with a look of fatigue on his face, turned around and showed his cell phone to Kang Woo-jin.
“Ah, Woojin, Blue Dragon announced all candidates.”
On his cell phone screen, an article was being printed on the actors nominated for this year’s awards officially published by the Blue Dragon Film Festival. Of course, the film industry press quickly followed suit.
『[Film Festival] Blue Dragon Film Festival Secretariat reveals key candidates for this year’s film festival… The name of ‘Kang Woo-jin’ stands out as a candidate for the Newcomer Award』 『Kang Woo-jin was nominated for the
Blue Dragon Newcomer Award just one year after his debut, but he can also be seen nominated for other awards
』 Not to be outdone, the Grand Bell Awards also revealed its nominees a few dozen minutes later. There were about 10 days left for both film festivals.
『[Movie Talk] From Blue Dragon to the Grand Bell Awards… ‘Kang Woo-jin’ is seen as a candidate for the Newcomer Award at both major film festivals』 What’s
unusual is that Kang Woo-jin’s comments are very explosive.
It’s as if Kang Woo-jin is marking the end of the year in the entertainment industry.
『Only the Blue Dragon Grand Bell Awards are already expected to win 2 awards↑ If you combine the broadcasting company’s acting awards… Will Kang Woo-jin crash in his first year of debut?』 It almost
seemed like the main billboard.
