I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 203
I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 203
(End of Year (4))
Joseph Felton frowned as if he could not believe it. The tablet he was looking at contained a photo of Kang Woo-jin and his footsteps so far. On the other hand, the bald-headed foreign man sitting next to him had a very calm expression.
“Joseph, there is no way my investigation was wrong.”
The bald man named Robert was full of confidence. It was worth it. Because he did this kind of character research like a meal. In order to work under the famous producer Joseph, being an actor was the most basic thing. From amazing Hollywood actors to Japan, China, India, etc. He had been researching actors from various countries.
There was nothing difficult about being a Korean actor.
However, he also added that Kang Woo-jin’s writing style was novel.
“I understand. This is the first time I’ve seen this type of information, but the information I collected was collected through extensive research, including through the Korean media and local officials. “I’m sure.”
After hearing the explanation, Joseph, a tall black man, looked at Robert’s firm gaze.
“……”
I lowered my gaze to the tablet again. What on earth is this? Joseph stroked his short, almost curly hair.
‘It’s gone beyond the absurd, right?’
It was 20 years ago that he entered Hollywood. It has already been over 10 years since I made a name for myself as a producer. He is truly a veteran. Even to Joseph, this film was completely unfamiliar to him.
No, is it even possible?
‘…Kang Woo-jin started his activities early this year.’
First of all, I was caught in the throat from the Korean actor’s starting point. He first appeared in short films and dramas as Cho and Dan, and that was at the beginning of this year. In other words, Kang Woo-jin’s career lasted only about a year.
‘Does this mean he’s a fresh-faced rookie?’
You could see me as a complete beginner. There are definitely differences between the entertainment systems in Korea and Hollywood. As well as the size. However, in the end, the essence is bound to be the same. A first-year actor in Hollywood is like an ordinary person. This would be similar in Korea as well. In general, the writing of such freshmen was in the middle of nowhere. At most, I only do one or two works.
But Kang Woo-jin’s was so packed.
He stood out right from the start and was immediately put into the next work without any gaps. Is that it? Kang Woo-jin was able to secure the lead role in just a few works. If we understand this data, it means that he has risen to the level of a leading actor in just half a year.
why? why?
even.
“There is no failure…there is no such thing.”
According to the results table organized by Robert, except for the work currently in progress, all of the works that Woojin participated in were all successful. You may be lucky enough to work on one or two projects, but it is difficult to understand that everything you participated in was successful.
‘What is the Hand of Midas… Did this Netflix drama explode beyond Korea to Japan?’
Naturally entering Japan. In addition, he has been selected to star in a major Japanese movie. All scheduled Korean productions also feature lead casts.
No matter where you look, this film belongs to a top actor of high caliber.
However, Kang Woo-jin achieved these results in just one year and is still in progress. It’s hard to believe this even after seeing it.
Soon Joseph Felton slowly lowered the tablet.
-Sigh.
At the same time, I remembered Kang Woo-jin, whom I met the other day.
‘At least 5 years. No, I thought he would have rolled on the floor more than that.’
It was a hasty decision. At this moment, the thinking of famous producer Joseph was being redefined. He smiled a little absurdly and asked Robert sitting next to him.
“Then what happened to those high-level English skills and acting martial arts?”
“I do not know.”
“I’ve only been active for a year…how did you show that tension? There is a difference between acquiring a skill and being visible to everyone. But that actor casually crushed veteran Chinese actors and won the role from director George.”
Joseph asked stunt coordinator Gary Peck, who looked after Woo-jin Kang’s co-star after Woo-jin left the scene. How did it feel? Gary’s response was very quick. In terms of martial arts, Kang Woo-jin’s movements are like those of an expert, and Coach George will regret losing him. It was obvious that the premise was that they had been active for a long time.
Perhaps Gary would also roll his eyes when he sees this data?
“You’re not that old, are you? “At best, I’m in my 20s.”
The reason why Kang Woo-jin participated in the screen test was confirmed by joining the caddy team. Yes, there was some luck involved. However, the acting and martial arts that Woojin showed that day were not due to luck. If he’s that young, it’s ridiculous that a rookie actor who only lasted a year learned that much at such a young age.
“Do you have the guts to criticize an accepted Hollywood role?”
Why do you have the energy and attitude of a tower? Although it was brief, Joseph met Kang Woo-jin and was fascinated by him. It was safe to say that I fell in love with it. A tenacity that is not shaken by the external environment, an upright posture and attitude, skills full of self-esteem, an aura that is the foundation of that overflowing skills, and unusual energy that predicts an explosive future.
Those were things you could only occasionally see in the towers of Hollywood.
I don’t know. The more Joseph looked at the data, the more bogged down he became. Then he suddenly stopped and asked the bald-headed Robert vaguely.
“I wonder if actor Kang Woo-jin worked in Hollywood under a different name in the past?”
It was quite possible.
“His English skills are comparable to his native language. “Wouldn’t it be an explanation if I worked here as a child and then returned to Korea due to some circumstances?”
Robert nodded for now.
“There are plenty of possibilities. However, if you have changed your name, it is difficult to find. The same goes for finding out about his past works. “It will take a lot of time.”
“…Well, there’s no need to do that. “If you only lived in a theater company, it would be nearly impossible to find out.”
However, Joseph was confident in his guess. In addition, interest in Kang Woo-jin has greatly increased.
“Haha, this is my first time learning such a mysterious and mysterious monster or alien.”
Not only was he talented, but actor Kang Woo-jin himself was extremely refreshing. Then, Joseph, who was rubbing his chin, lowered his gaze to the tablet again. What he checked this time were directors whose names were familiar.
‘Directed by Kwon Ki-taek and Kyotaro Tanokuchi. And director Ang Bok.’
These are all directors who have made their names known at the top three international film festivals overseas. Joseph also remembered seeing them win awards a few times. Among them, the director I met and greeted was Director Ahn Ga-bok. He was a director with a high reputation at international film festivals and was well-known in Hollywood.
-Sigh.
Joseph operates the tablet and carefully looks at the information related to Director Angabok.
‘Kang Woo-jin has been cast as the lead in director Ahn Ga-bok’s 100th film, and the film is aiming for Cannes next year.’
That’s roughly a few tens of seconds.
Joseph, a huge black man who looked down at his tablet for a moment, seemed to have decided something and asked Robert next to him.
“Robert, are winters in Korea very cold?”
Meanwhile, Korea.
The morning of the 19th. There are a lot of articles about global superstar Miley Cara, who left yesterday.
『Miley Kara waving to reporters and fans at the airport after finishing her schedule in Korea. What was your impression of Korea?』 『

On the other hand, the film industry press was busy talking about the film festival. It was because of the official confirmation news sent by the Blue Dragon Film Festival.

『[Film Festival] Will he sweep the year-end awards ceremony in the first year of his debut? Attention focused on Kang Woo-jin of ‘Director Angabok’』
In any case, thanks to the end-of-year scent, the film festivals that were buzzing with attention announced their official dates one after another. It started with the Blue Dragon Film Festival, followed by the Grand Bell Awards.
『[Official] Following the Blue Dragon Film Festival, the Grand Bell Awards are also confirmed to open… December 26th after Christmas!』
The Blue Dragon Film Festival is on the 23rd and the Grand Bell Awards is on the 26th. This means that both film festivals will be organized within about a week. Of course, Kang Woo-jin was confirmed to attend both film festivals.
『Kang Woo-jin, the busiest actor among the current actors, attends all film festivals in the first year of his debut』
『Film festivals’ efforts to catch Kang Woo-jin who debuted this year… something is different at the end of this year』
As the issue of film festivals became more intense, public broadcasting stations immediately put a check on it. I went out.
“The film festival side is putting up boosters and articles, but we’re giving it our all!!”
“I’ll pass over the candidates!”
“Oh! “You can announce the date early, right??!”
“All right!”
Although the awards ceremonies start around the same time anyway, viewership ratings vary depending on expectations and interest. Accordingly, the three public broadcasters, SBC, MBS, and KBC, also entered the war to promote the awards ceremony.
『[Issue] Broadcasters announce postponement target dates one after another…SBC announces postponement targets on December 30th and MBS.KBC on the 31st.』 『
Postponment targets announced on the 30th and 31st…This year’s viewership winner among SBC, MBS.KBC ?』
Only the SBC Drama Awards ceremony started on December 30th, and MBS KBC’s was on the 31st. For reference, the Entertainment Awards, which awards awards for entertainment, etc., had nothing to do with Kang Woo-jin until now.
Anyway.
『Is ‘Kang Woo-jin’ attending the broadcaster awards ceremony? BW Entertainment said, “Kang Woo-jin will only attend the SBC KBC Drama Awards.”
Kang Woo-jin was confirmed to attend the SBC KBC Drama Awards, excluding MBS. Because MBS didn’t even have any projects in the first place.
『The possibility of ‘Kang Woo-jin’ winning the Best New Actor Award for SBC and KBC increases.』
Although the nominations were not yet announced for the broadcaster awards ceremony, Kang Woo-jin was being strongly mentioned as a candidate for the Best New Actor award. As a result, if Kang Woo-jin sweeps the entire year-end.
『Kang Woo-jin, a monster rookie from the Blue Dragon Awards, Grand Bell Awards, SBC, and KBC Awards, would win 4 awards even if he won all the Rookie Awards.』
He won at least 4 awards.
Sunday the 20th. grant.
morning. Kang Woo-jin’s van stopped in the parking lot outside a familiar large set complex. It was the filming set of ‘Island of the Missing’. Although it was about 10 o’clock in the morning, the large parking lot was already full of vans, vans, and minibuses.
Of course, filming would have already started two hours ago.
Next, Kang Woo-jin gets out of the back door of the van. It was mostly natural and wore long navy padding. It is true that it is cold because it is winter, but because this complex itself is a remote place, the wind blows even more fiercely. Soon Woojin, who had a poker face, casually lifted the zipper up to his neck.
‘Ugh- crazy. The weather has turned.’
cold. It’s okay though. Kang Woo-jin’s concept work started in the winter. Before he knew it, four seasons had passed and his life came to a point. Woojin was once again taken aback when he saw the breath coming out of his mouth.
‘Maybe it’s because I’m just filming – time goes by really fast.’
At this time, behind Kang Woo-jin, Han Hye-jung and Jang Soo-hwan, a well-built stylist, came together. For some reason, ponytail Choi Seong-geon was not visible. Soon, Jang Su-hwan gestured towards the front and shouted.
“Let’s go, brother!”
Woojin answered lowly.
“okay.”
Kang Woo-jin and his team move slowly. Meanwhile, the stylists holding hot packs in their hands asked Woojin.
“brother! Isn’t it cold?? “Would you like a hot pack?”
“Huh??! “Don’t you have a hot pack in your pocket?”
“No!! “How big is your body now!!”
The girls rushed over in an instant, stuffed a hot pack into Woojin’s long padded pocket, and then put it in his hand. At that time, the assistant director of ‘Island of the Missing’ was waiting at the entrance of the set complex.
“ah!! Mr. Woojin!!”
Some staff come running. Panting as if I hadn’t seen him in years. Meanwhile, the assistant director shouted into the radio.
“Kang Woo-jin has arrived now!!”
That’s how Kang Woo-jin got mixed up with the staff and entered the ‘Island of the Missing’ scene. The filming team was rooted in front of a building, and as soon as they saw Woojin approaching, the lead actors in military uniform smiled and showed great reactions.
It started with an exciting Comrade Chang.
“ha ha ha! You’re here! Our Kangstar is here! “Didn’t he come back because he became too strong?”
Kim I-won grabbed the back.
“K-Did you just come here because your aura has suddenly upgraded in a few days?? After all, Director Anga Bok’s man!”
After stopping filming for a moment, dozens of staff members welcomed Kang Woo-jin. Ryu Jung-min, who took off the bulletproof hat he was wearing and approached, also showed his thumb to Woojin.
“Weren’t you going to film ‘Our Table’? “What if we turn the country upside down as soon as we leave for a moment?”
Woojin, who was quietly greeting the actors and staff, lowered his voice as he looked at Ryu Jung-min.
“It just so happened.”
Next, Hayura, who was tall and wearing a military uniform with a lot of scars on her face, laughed next to Ryu Jeong-min.
“I saw you saved Hwarin. “When did you learn such martial arts?”
The atmosphere heated up immediately. At this time, the man sitting in front of the monitor suddenly got up. It was the warm-hearted director Kwon Ki-taek.
He then smiled at Woojin.
“You had a hard time.”
The silent Kang Woo-jin greeted politely.
“I’m back, director.”
Director Ki-taek Kwon continues speaking in a soft tone.
“You set off a lot of bombs in that short period of time?”
“I didn’t mean to.”
“I guess so.”
Kang Woo-jin finally returned to ‘Island of the Missing’. Director Kwon Ki-taek then smiled faintly but recited with weight.
“Now, should we act now?”
