I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 207
I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 207
(End of year (8))
Over hundreds of seats filled with incredible directors, top actors, and key staff members. Kang Woo-jin sat in between them. Although the tension was at its peak, Woojin could not easily solve the concept.
Because when the camera got bored, I took pictures of myself.
At that moment, your face appears on the screen attached to the huge stage in front. Only the ideal of a ‘drug dealer’. At that moment, Woojin felt as if something was boiling over him.
“……”
Why is my face there? Oh right? This was the Blue Dragon Film Festival. Kang Woo-jin has definitely experienced film festivals in the past. The ‘Mise-en-scène’ film festival. Well, the scale was small compared to Blue Dragon, but at the time, Kang Woo-jin went through a process similar to what he is experiencing now.
But the excitement was completely different.
Because the picture itself was completely different.
Unlike the mise-en-scene, the Blue Dragon Film Festival was watched by many people, as were various figures in the entertainment industry. A grand festival that marks the end of the year in the Korean entertainment or film industry.
In such a place, Kang Woo-jin’s name rings out as the first award winner.
“The 41st Blue Dragon Film Festival! New Male Actor Award! Actor Kang Woo-jin of ‘Drug Dealer’!!”
Lively music rang out in the grand hall, accompanied by ear-piercing applause.
-♬♪
Me? Oh yeah? Me? Kang Woo-jin stood up reflexively without any significant change in expression. Up to this point, I didn’t feel much of a burden. Because it was a short moment and a movement that was close to instinct.
but.
‘Woah, wait a minute.’
As soon as Kang Woo-jin woke up alone in the huge hall, his vision changed 180 degrees. Kang Woo-jin’s face displayed on the screens and monitors at all the angles of the cameras focused on. Hundreds of actors and directors’ eyes pouring in and congratulatory flashes that explode as if blinding the eyes.
Kang Woo-jin’s mind becomes confused.
‘I feel dizzy and my legs feel weak.’
Woojin definitely had experience at film festivals, but it didn’t help at all. The only thing that gave him strength was the concept he maintained throughout. Perhaps all the people Woojin has passed by so far are here. Whether it was strength, bravado, or dignity, everything was needed.
The temperature is hot.
The unique heat of a huge film festival was like that, and the lighting was like hot sunlight. It’s hot. No one would know, but cold sweat ran down Woojin’s back.
But the funny thing is.
‘Let’s not think too deeply. Kang Woo-jin Just empty your brain.’
The hotter the outside got, the colder Woojin was on the inside. How many crises have you overcome so far? Without even realizing it, Woojin had learned how to use extremely evil concepts in extreme situations.
An arrogant monster rookie actor who is a ‘fuck my way’.
A guy like that shouldn’t be shaken to this degree.
At this point, congratulatory applause and shouts can be heard from the ‘drug dealer’ team sitting around Kang Woo-jin.
“Haha Mr. Woojin! congratulation!”
“Congratulations, should we go out soon?”
“This is the first award for ‘Drug Dealer’! Congratulations, Woojin!”
Jin Jae-jun, the lead of ‘Drug Dealer’, gave Kang Woo-jin a brief hug, and Park Pan-seo tapped Woo-jin on the shoulder. Director Kim Do-hee and the key staff give a thumbs up.
Woojin calmly lowered his head.
“thank you.”
Then, Kang Woo-jin calmly walks out and heads to the stage. With each step, I feel my heart getting colder. Still, I had concerns.
How should I feel about receiving the award?
I had prepared something. I couldn’t ask where. Because you can’t get advice on how to give an acceptance speech in a way that makes it look like it doesn’t exist. Thanks to this, Kang Woo-jin watched old film festivals on YouTube and searched for acceptance speeches. That’s how I prepared it.
‘I honestly don’t remember a single thing.’
Not a single word came to mind. I was desperate just to maintain my concept at this vast film festival. But strangely, there was no trace of tension on his simple face. There is a lot of leisure in walking. Although there was a calm momentum, there was a sense of concentrated distraction.
It was vividly caught on camera.
The broadcast team PD and staff were able to gossip.
“Why are you so calm?”
“Right? Wow – PD, Kang Woo-jin, are you an actor who debuted this year? “What kind of town do you think you came from?”
“Aren’t you happy? “Don’t laugh.”
“I think there will be controversy…”
“I don’t know, we’re just taking pictures. “Kang Woo-jin, pull a little closer and take the picture.”
“Ah, yes.”
Kang Woo-jin’s family and friends who were watching this were in an uproar. Kang Hyeon-ah and her parents at the bamboo shop.
“Aaaah!! mom mom!! My brother! “Oppa!!”
“okay!! My son!! Woojin! oh?! “Honey, are you crying??”
“…No, I’m just proud.”
“oh my god!!”
And Kang Woo-jin’s friends.
“Jiri!! It’s sad!! braided!!”
“Kang Woo-jin Kang! You bastard!! “My shoulders are lifting!!”
“Oh, is this real?? “I can’t believe it!”
Woojin’s SNS, YouTube channel, and various fan cafe communities are also shaking.
On the other hand, Kang Woo-jin of the Blue Dragon Film Festival appeared on the big stage without much change. Although it was the stage of his first Blue Dragon Film Festival, it was deeply cynical.
When Woojin like that came on stage.
“Kang Woo-jin has been causing a sensation since his debut this year, right? In ‘Drug Dealer,’ he received rave reviews for his performance as Lee Sang-man’s character…”
Kang Woo-jin was introduced from the moderator’s seat, and for some reason, many of the top actors in the audience were even more nervous than him. Hong Hye-yeon is more beautiful today than any other day.
“What is it? Why is Woojin’s face like that? Ha – why am I nervous? “I can’t tell what to say with my feelings…”
Ryu Jeong-min, who sat next to her today, with his hair neatly pulled back, was also similar.
“What kind of mistake could I make?”
“It’s not anyone else, it’s Woojin. “Do you really think that?”
“…But it’s still the first blue dragon?”
The faces of Jin Jae-jun and Park Pan-seo from the ‘Drug Dealer’ team also showed a bit of worry.
“I wish it was normal.”
“Well… it’s hard to say that Woojin himself is average – first of all, he doesn’t look very happy, so maybe you already expected it?”
“Well, I guess so. Hmm – Blue Dragon already has good issue power, but if Woojin, who has all the attention, shows something unusual, tomorrow’s article will be terrible.”
Other than An Jong-hak and Ha Kang-soo, actors from the ‘Our Table’ team and ‘Island of the Missing’ were having similar conversations.
“It’ll be okay, right?”
“I don’t know either. But I’m kind of looking forward to it.”
“What?”
“Do you think Woojin will explode with fireworks right from the start?”
Conversely, there were also those who enjoyed it. Sitting side by side were some of the biggest directors in the domestic film industry. They were directors Ahn Ga-bok and Kwon Ki-taek.
“Hehe, what do you think that friend will say?”
“First of all, it looks like he thought he would definitely receive the Rookie Award.”
“okay. In fact, since it is a seat, it is normal to show some surprise even if you expected it. As expected, Woojin doesn’t have anything like that.”
“There is no way to exaggerate or make mistakes.”
“The reporters must have already been excited. There has never been a rookie like that in the history of Blue Dragon.”
“I think that will continue to be the case.”
Shim Shim-ho, a great actor like a tiger, also stands out. He just folds his arms and stares at Kang Woo-jin on stage.
“……”
The overall whispering gradually gets louder. Of course, Kang Woo-jin on stage couldn’t hear a thing. He only sees the two actors in the center of the stage. Before they knew it, they were holding the New Male Actor Award trophy and bouquets of flowers.
‘Is that mine?’
A gold trophy I saw on you tube. As Kang Woo-jin approaches, the two actors in charge of hosting the show laugh.
“Congratulations, Kang Woo-jin.”
Eventually, the trophy and bouquet of flowers were delivered to Kang Woo-jin. Woojin’s first impression upon receiving the trophy was simple.
‘It’s heavy.’
It was heavy. Soon, the two actors in charge of delivering the message lost a few steps, and the blaring music gradually decreased. The lighting on the ceiling focused on Kang Woo-jin, and the temperature rose even more. Kang Woo-jin’s full shot and face are displayed on all screens and monitors in the hall.
Meanwhile, Woojin is wearing a tuxedo.
“……”
He looked down at the trophy in his hand without saying a word. At the same time, the PD in front of the stage motioned to Kang Woo-jin. They told me to stand in front of a standing microphone and say my thoughts.
Therefore, Woojin stood in front of the standing microphone with a poker face.
When I looked straight ahead, I saw enormous faces. He is a top actor, a big director, and everyone is looking at him. It was a crazy sight. Why is this picture unfolding?
I don’t know, I don’t know.
-Sigh.
Kang Woo-jin first took a small breath into the microphone.
“Woo-”
At this moment, Woojin thought. Your impressions don’t have to be long. Even if you say it in detail, there will be gaps and it may even create an unnecessary misunderstanding. I don’t remember the prepared remarks.
‘So, let’s start with gratitude.’
In addition, a Nopakku appearance according to the stage was also necessary. Kang Woo-jin lowered his voice.
“Thank you to the ‘Drug Dealer’ team for their support from our parents, friends and fans.”
Silence for a moment. The broadcast team frowns. what? Is that the end? Obvious embarrassment spreads. But fortunately, Woojin’s mouth slowly opened again.
“I don’t have anything to say.”
Blank again. Kang Woo-jin’s gentle gaze moves slowly from the front. On both sides. It looks like it’s scanning all the actors. In fact, at this time, Kang Woo-jin was desperately trying to recall his thoughts. impact? Or should I just say thank you again and leave?
What’s better?
However, the actors felt strange when they saw Woojin caught on camera.
“How…don’t you think he’s looking around at his fellow actors?”
“It looks like that, right?”
Kang Woo-jin made a decision. Yes, it would be okay as long as the nuance is that you will work hard from now on. The feeling of being well looked after is a bonus. Kang Woo-jin, who recalled the level of ambition with his own level of politeness and strength, chanted lowly into the standing microphone.
“This year I won the Rookie of the Year award, but next year I will win the Leading Actor award. “You can watch.”
For a moment, the vast hall became quiet.
“……”
“……”
“……”
The broadcast producer, who was busy moving around, also blinked. Anyway, Kang Woo-jin did not forget to finish. A small bow to the hundreds of spectators in front. Greetings to the actors who presented the awards. Greetings to the moderator’s seat as well. The funny thing is that the pupils of everyone who received his greetings dilated.
But Woojin didn’t know this.
-Sigh.
He started to go down the stage with an innocent expression on his face. The camera quickly follows him. The eyes of hundreds of actors are also following him. Several actors who know Kang Woo-jin, including Hong Hye-yeon and Ryu Jung-min, are covering their faces.
“Ha-I knew it would be like this.”
“…What on earth are you doing?”
The other actors couldn’t help but feel absurd.
“What did he just say?”
“warning? “I told you after we looked around before giving my thoughts, right?”
“…I’m chasing you, so be nervous, is that something?”
There are also actors who are out of breath. For example, Jaejun Jin.
“If you experience Mr. Woojin in person… you will feel that feeling is scary-”
Simeon Ho chuckled to himself without anyone noticing.
“Huh, I guess you have guts.”
Well, one way or another, it was not conveyed to Kang Woo-jin at all. Woojin, who was returning to his seat, was just satisfied with his comment.
‘done. It was okay because the aspirations and impressions were simple. Yes, I passed.’
The problem is that it is not seen as an aspiration. Kang Woo-jin didn’t know. Director Kwon Ki-taek, who is full of smiles on that point.
“For a moment…I forgot. “That guy, Kang Woo-jin, is an arrogant monster actor.”
“Hehehe, I never thought he would openly tell all the actors about his distribution like that.”
Director Gabok Ang recited.
“Isn’t this an actor with just one year of experience declaring war on the Korean entertainment industry?”
It was a declaration of war, not an ambition.
after.
The Blue Dragon Film Festival, which had been quiet for a while after Kang Woo-jin’s Rookie Award, finally got moving again. From the New Actress Award to the Largest Audience Award.
“Most Audience Award! Congratulations to the ‘drug dealer’!”
After Kang Woo-jin, ‘Drug Dealer’ director Kim Do-hee lifted the second trophy. Meanwhile, the camera continued to focus on Kang Woo-jin. The actors around him kept glancing at him.
There was no positivity mixed in his gaze.
Of course, Woojin simply remained cynical, which further fueled the atmosphere. Next, a congratulatory stage by a popular singer was held, and next was the short story award.
And the New Director Award.
Eventually, the final stop of Part 1, the Popular Star Award, began. The funny thing is.
-[Drug dealer ‘Kang Woo-jin’]
Following the Rookie of the Year award, Kang Woo-jin’s name appears among the candidates again this time. Even unlike the Rookie of the Year awards, those who were nominated for the same award were very prominent actors.
So what is the result?
“Popular Star Award!! yes Following the Rookie Award, actor Kang Woo-jin!! Congratulations!”
Kang Woo-jin received it. Two wins in Blue Dragon alone. There it is.
“…I never thought I would receive the Popular Star Award.”
“Isn’t this the first time that you have received the Rookie of the Year award in the year you debuted and won two awards at one film festival?”
“There was no rookie declaring war in the first place.”
Today, Kang Woo-jin was writing several histories. Whatever it was, Kang Woo-jin’s comment on stage was short. ‘Thank you’ and ‘I feel the same as when I received the Rookie Award.’ degree. But this time too, I only gave polite greetings here and there.
That’s how Part 1 of Blue Dragon ended.
A short break. Fellow actors, including Hong Hye-yeon and Ryu Jeong-min, stuck to Kang Woo-jin and chanted.
“I know what you’re thinking, Woojin… but you should have been a little more cautious.”
“No, but should I say this is Woojin-like?”
Jaejun Jin was like that too.
“I thought it was refreshing and good. Well, I think I’ll probably get some glares from other actors in the future.”
Afterwards, the second part of the Blue Dragon Film Festival began. Part 2 started with the staff awards and continued with the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor awards. Finally, the Best Actor and Lead Actor awards, known as the flower of the film festival.
The Best Actor award went to Jin Jae-jun.
even.
“Best Picture Award!! Congratulations to the ‘drug dealer’!!”
The final Best Picture Award also went to ‘Drug Dealer’. As a result, it is safe to say that this year’s Blue Dragon Film Festival was an awards party for ‘Drug Dealer’. Of course, this wasn’t the case. A picture that can be seen often, but not every year.
In this way, the Blue Dragon Film Festival came to a grand close.
However, the excitement continued even after the film festival ended. In particular, the reporters who were flocking to the show frantically flashed their flashes at one actor who was leaving. It was not Jin Jae-jun, the best actor.
“Kang Woojin!!! Mr. Kang Woo-jin!!”
“Please tell us about your impressions!!”
“Mr. Woojin!!”
“You achieved double wins at Blue Dragon for the first time in your first year of debut. How do you feel?!!”
“What were your thoughts and feelings!!!”
“Mr. Kang Woo-jin!!”
It was Kang Woo-jin.
At this time, Choi Seong-gun, who was in the passenger seat of the van meant to pick up Kang Woo-jin, looked at his cell phone and let out a long sigh.
“Hah, it went up so fast, tsk.”
Before Kang Woo-jin even got into the car.

Kang Woo-jin’s article was already plastered all over the place.
