I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 204
I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 204
(Year-end (5))
Kang Woo-jin came out of the dressing room inside the large set complex of ‘Island of the Missing’. Wearing military uniform. I wore that long padding. He looked familiar from the filming of ‘Island of the Missing’, but the only thing that changed a little was his military uniform.
There was a lot of blood on it and it was torn.
Just by looking at this, you could see how much filming for ‘Island of the Missing’ had progressed. Woojin stretched before leaving the building.
‘Ah! Let’s go-‘
Because I had to escape from things that didn’t seem real, such as Hollywood and Miley Kara, which seemed like a dream. Now, Kang Woo-jin’s schedule was filled with acting, his main occupation. Soon, Kang Woo-jin checked his poker face again and moved to the filming site.
-Sigh.
The scene is quickly captured in Kang Woo-jin’s eyes. Reflectors and lights erected, various cameras, boom microphones, various devices, director Ki-taek Kwon looking at the monitor, and dozens of staff gathered around him.
Filming was already in progress.
“One, two – cue.”
Woojin, who watched the scene for a while, felt like he was back in his hometown.
‘As expected, I feel most at ease on the filming set. huh? ‘Since when did I feel comfortable on set?’
It was strange. In the past, I was full of tension when I entered the filming set, but now it’s not like that at all. Is it because the surrounding environment has changed so drastically? It was time for Kang Woo-jin to just pass it by, saying, “Well, that’s okay.”
-Knock knock.
Someone tapped Woojin on the shoulder. When I turned around, the assistant director was smiling.
“Woojin, that scene just started. “If you’re in the waiting tent, I’ll call you when I’m on standby.”
“Ah, I understand.”
Woojin answered, passing through the densely packed set buildings and arriving at a tent booth that looked quite large. It was located at the three-way intersection leading to the entrance, and Kang Woo-jin entered the largest booth among the tent booths lined up in a row.
-Sureuk.
Inside the booth, there were desks and chairs, perhaps a waiting room and rest area for actors, and external heaters were turned on here and there. Greeting Woojin as he entered were several staff members and Jeon Woo-chang Hayura. The rest of the actors, including Ryu Jung-min, are currently filming.
Soon, muscular Jeon Woo-chang waved his hand at Woo-jin.
“Mr. Woojin! “Here, here!”
He wore thick short padding over his military uniform, and Hayura wore a beige long padding. Woojin then approached the two sitting side by side drinking coffee and bowed his head slightly.
“Thank you for your consideration.”
Jeon Woo-chang was quick to answer.
“huh?? What?”
Hayura, who has an elegant image, also tilted her head.
“I just called you, so what consideration?”
Woojin, who pulled out a chair and sat down, answered lowly.
“I think I caused some inconvenience to the actors due to my deviation from the schedule. “Even in terms of filming schedule and acting.”
It wasn’t wrong. Kang Woo-jin may have had a small role in ‘Island of the Missing’, but he was currently one of the central characters. Woojin’s role as ‘Corporal Jin Seon-cheol’ and the actors had many scenes together, and it was almost a group shot in the beginning. In the meantime, Woojin had no choice but to leave for a while.
In that case, the ‘Island of the Missing’ actors will only film scenes without Kang Woo-jin.
Well, it wasn’t filmed in the order of the scenario in the first place, but filming heavy heating scenes was a daily routine for the actors. Still, it wasn’t easy to film scenes without Woojin and then bring back the emotions once he returned. For example, even though filming took place after Woojin’s death, he has to act again while recalling his living emotions.
Kang Woo-jin expressed his gratitude to the actors for that.
Of course, this was something that was discussed at the beginning of the planning process for ‘Island of the Missing’ and the actors knew about it, but as Woojin, the most junior and rookie, he needed to be polite to his seniors again. Of course, it was Choi Seong-geon who passed down this knowledge.
Anyway, Jeon Woo-chang laughed heartily as if it was no big deal.
“ha ha ha! What was I talking about again? That’s it. That’s it. It’s work, work. “Besides, it’s not like I really lost my temper when Woojin wasn’t around.”
Hayura helps, smiling slightly.
“Yeah, don’t worry too much. To be honest, since Woojin was left out, issues have been popping up and ‘Island of the Missing’ has been promoted a lot, right? “If that’s the case, you’ve done everything.”
“admit! ‘Drug dealer’ big – 7.85 million won as requested! Since then, ‘Island of the Missing’ has been mentioned a lot. No, the other day, Jeongmin asked me if I didn’t have anything??”
“Wuchang, are you really quiet?”
“ah! Sister, I am average. “Woojin, that doesn’t make sense.”
Hayura, who had been shaking her head as if she was tired of the conversation, untied her hair and suddenly asked Woojin.
“Where are we going to the year-end awards ceremonies this year?”
“The Blue Dragon Grand Bell Award and the Drama Awards will go to SBC KBC.”
“I really go to all four places. “Who are you, Woo Chang?”
“I passed the Grand Bell Award this time. The only acting target is MBS. “What about your sister?”
“I only have Cheongryong and Daejongsang. “There is no need to go to the acting awards.”
“Oh, that’s right. “My sister hasn’t done a drama since last year. She’s going around Hollywood.”
“do you want to die?”
Jeon Woo-chang, who was avoiding Hayura’s threat, stamped Kang Woo-jin with his index finger.
“Why- That’s right, even if Woojin goes to Hollywood now, he’ll likely debut sooner than his older sister. Do you think you don’t know again? “Woojin, maybe you’ve already been contacted by Hollywood?”
“uh?? Really?”
Kang Woo-jin flinched internally.
‘Jeon Woo-chang…he has a good sense of humor.’
However, because the concept was strong, I didn’t think it was a big deal and put an iron plate on my face.
“That can’t be right.”
“Hahaha, that’s right now. We’ll be seeing Woojin in Hollywood soon, right? “That’s my feeling.”
“……Wuchang, you know you’re an actor now, right?”
“Ah, I’m giving up on Hollywood. First of all, English is not enough. Rather than that, Woojin, are you going to four awards ceremonies this year? “Isn’t this the first time?”
“Well, going to an awards ceremony in the first year since debut is unlikely. “Even all four of them are nominated for awards.”
Soon, Jeon Woo-chang, with a deep smile, quickly turned his face to Kang Woo-jin.
“Can we see a picture of Oji winning more than 5 trophies in his first year of debut?”
Hayura sighs.
“Wuchang, you should learn too.”
“I know, but I was bad this year. “Instead, I want you to be vicariously satisfied with Mr. Woojin.”
“Ha…”
Hayura sighed deeply and focused her gaze on Kang Woojin.
“But Woojin, have you done everything to prepare?”
Are you ready? Suddenly what? When Woojin remained cynically silent, Jeon Woochang answered on his behalf.
“What are you preparing?”
“What do you mean, tuxedos and other items. Oh-and.”
Hayura opened her mouth again.
“Speech on receiving the award.”
How do you feel about receiving the award? When Kang Woo-jin asked himself, the assistant director who appeared in the tent shouted.
“Kang Woo-jin, standby!!!”
I don’t know. First of all, Kang Woo-jin brought up ‘Corporal Jin Seon-cheol’.
Meanwhile, at the same time.
Bearded producer Song Man-woo is seen in the large conference room of DM Production, a new production company. A very serious look. Of course, on both sides of him were ‘good evil’ key staff, including the production manager.
“……”
“……”
Everyone’s expressions hardened. They were all staring intently at the man sitting alone across from them. It was Seong-geon Choi with ponytails wearing a black coat.
“hmm.”
However, Choi Seong-geon was not currently here as Kang Woo-jin’s manager. I am here as the CEO of BW Entertainment. The reason was simple.
-Palak.
Because he was currently reviewing the formal contract proposed by the ‘Beneficial Evil’ side. Of course, this meeting itself did not just start. Negotiations have already been held for about an hour. Next, Choi Seong-gun, who was looking at the contract, asked PD Song Man-woo in front of him.
“Producer, what is the total production cost of this ‘Beneficial Evil’?”
Producer Song Man-woo, with his stern face, responded quickly.
“I think it will fluctuate around 20 billion won.”
“okay.”
Choi Seong-geon nodded slowly and muttered to himself.
’20 billion – just saying 20 billion, it’s probably close to 30 billion. Because the production team is reluctant to reveal the funds in the beginning.’
The average production cost of Korean dramas these days, which involve a lot of technology, was 10 billion won. If top actors participate and go overseas, the amount easily exceeds 20 billion won.
”Beneficial Evil’ also had overseas location filming. Also, this is a total of 12 episodes, not 16. Still, something like 30 billion is quite enormous.’
It was even directed by producer Song Man-woo, who had a huge hit with ‘Profiler Hanryang’.
‘Our Woojin is starring in this masterpiece.’
Kang Woo-jin, who was ‘Deputy Park’, is the sole male lead this time. As if he was sufficiently satisfied, Choi Seong-geon reached out to producer Song Man-woo as Kang Woo-jin’s representative.
“Please take care of me, PD.”
“Oh, then?”
“yes. “Let’s stamp it like this.”
Below Choi Seong-geon, who woke up, the items in the contract he was looking at are noticeable. It was Kang Woo-jin’s ransom.
-80 million per episode.
As of the 12th episode, it reached close to 1 billion.
Two days later on the 23rd. Buyeo side hotel.
The time was a little past 9 o’clock. Kang Woo-jin was found at a luxury hotel used by the ‘Island of the Missing’ team.
“Ouch!! “I had a good night’s sleep.”
He comes out of the bathroom, stretching. It looked like he had just finished showering, as his hair was moist. It seems like it’s been a while since it happened. Since I was using the room alone, I put down the concept. Soon Woojin, who was holding a hair dryer to dry his hair, checked his cell phone.
As always, many contacts have piled up.
Among them, Woojin was the first to check the chat of Choi Seong-gun, who is currently in Seoul. In terms of content, there was a change in today’s schedule and a few reporters were sent along. Woojin’s schedule today was simple yet tight.
First of all, we had to film ‘Island of the Missing’ in the morning.
Because we had to deviate from each gap, we had to cut out as much as possible. Afterwards, I returned to Seoul around lunchtime and had to arrive at my agency, BW Entertainment, and go through several checks and meetings.
Because there is a very important event today.
After spending time at the fitting studio to check my style, I had to arrive at the reserved shop and look stylish. All of this must be completed before 7 p.m.
The reason could be confirmed in the article sent by Choi Seong-gun.
『[Official] Blue Dragon Film Festival opens today (23rd)… The front of the awards ceremony hall is already crowded』 『
Dozens of reporters and fans gathered around the red carpet of the Blue Dragon Film Festival Open Run from the morning/Photo』
Today is the opening of the Blue Dragon Film Festival me.
In other words, tonight, for the first time in his life, Woojin will attend Korea’s largest film festival, which he thought he would never attend until his death. As an actor who is likely to win an award.
“Wow, I’m going crazy.”
Kang Woo-jin’s heart, which had been insanely tense last night, is pounding again. Then, Woojin checked other chats to ease his tremors.
soon.
“huh?”
Kang Woo-jin stops at one tap. It was a message sent by Hwarin. The content was simply, ‘If you see me, please call me.’ Woojin tilted his head, cleared his voice, and called Hwarin.
The connection tone was short.
“Ah, thank goodness.”
Hwarin’s slightly flushed voice was heard over the phone.
“I was wondering what would happen if I couldn’t contact Woojin.”
“What’s wrong?”
“no? Rather than saying what’s going on… Where are you now, Mr. Woojin?”
“I’m in Buyeo now.”
“Why are you still there?? “Aren’t you ready for the Blue Dragon?”
“I will finish filming in the morning and go to Seoul.”
“Ah, I see.”
After a brief pause, she asked again.
“Then, can you come to Seoul and see me for a moment?”
what? Woojin lowered his voice and answered as it was.
“It seems difficult to take time off. “I thought I would stop by the agency and then move to the fitting studio shop.”
“I’m off today, right? “Can I go to the fitting studio or shop for a moment?”
“What are you doing that for?”
“I-I wanted to give you something before you go to Blue Dragon, Woojin.”
“Which one?”
“Just something small. gift. “Thank you. It was the same with that incident the other day.”
I guess the incident refers to a creepy assailant, right? Anyway, Kang Woo-jin slightly tilted his head.
“A gift?”
Hwarin answered calmly over the phone.
“Your gift. “A watch.”
At this time, Hwarin was sitting on the sofa in the living room at home. She must have just woken up and was wearing pajamas, and her long hair was a bit disheveled. Of course raw. However, the spots under the eyes were clear. What’s interesting is that, unlike his calm voice, the tension is evident on his face.
“are you okay?”
Soon, Kang Woo-jin’s answer was heard over the cell phone.
“I don’t mind. “Do whatever you feel comfortable with.”
Hwarin immediately smiled and answered as calmly as possible.
“Oh, then just tell me the time. “I will take care of it.”
“All right.”
“Okay, see you later.”
-Suddenly.
As soon as the call ended, Hwarin, who had put down her phone, suddenly stood up.
“done!”
For your information, Hwarin will not be attending Blue Dragon today. I will go to other broadcasting companies’ awards ceremonies, but today is a day off. The smile on her face gradually fades. Then, her pajama-clad head slowly turns.
The direction is on the table in the center of the living room.
There was a very luxurious paper bag placed there. Inside was a watch case to give to Woojin as a gift. The paper bag and case are both green.
Hwarin, who was staring at it, muttered softly to herself.
“Now, was it a mistake to say it was small?”
She regrets it belatedly, covering her face. However, it was a sin for Hwarin to easily pass over the grace of Choi Choi Ae, who saved her, and the first red carpet at her first film festival.
But you can’t be shy.
So what I chose was a gift watch. I chose a watch that goes well with my tuxedo. Even these past few days, I have prioritized it over everything else. This was the watch I purchased. Of course she was satisfied.
Now all I had to do was give this gift to Kang Woo-jin.
“Oh, Obanga? no. It’s okay, this is enough as a thank you gift, right? that’s right. “It will look really good with Woojin’s tuxedo… I’m going to take 100 screenshots.”
But for some reason, Hwarin looked down at her watch and sighed briefly. It was because of the price of the gift.
“Still, what if Woojin becomes a burden? Ha-don’t comment that it’s a small thing.”
It made no sense to say it was small when there were over 30 million people.
