I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 210

I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 210

(New Year (1))

Director Ga-bok Ang slightly narrowed the eyebrows on his wrinkled face. Because Joseph Felton’s words over the phone were unexpected.

‘…Can you see my filming site?’

Soon, he passed the shoe rack and sat down at the head of the five-seater sofa in the living room, broadening his thoughts. When I first heard from the head of the film company that Joseph Felton had requested contact, I was skeptical. But now, director Anga Bok has even more question marks.

He took off his gray jacket and asked a question into his cell phone. Of course it was in English.

“You want to see my filming site. “Do you know the movie I’m preparing?”

Joseph on the other end of the phone answered quickly.

“Of course, Director Ahn. “I understand the title is Leech, but am I mistaken?”

“no. Haha, you really have great information. “Do you know the title of the movie I’m preparing in LA?”

“The director’s name is well known in Hollywood. I also know that this is my 100th film and that I am also aiming for Cannes.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Hollywood directors and Cannes officials are already very interested in your film. “Being the 100th film is an achievement that is not easily achieved.”

Director Anga Bok rubbed his chin at the excessive lip service.

“Why do you want to see my movie shooting site?”

This time too, Joseph Felton’s response was not slow.

“Because there is a Korean actor who is interested.”

“A Korean actor?”

“yes.”

“Are you saying you will come to Korea in person to see that actor?”

“You can only experience acting when you see it with your own eyes. Things like the actor’s tension or energy. The resulting video is uncertain because it passes through many hands. “I’d like to see it in person to be sure.”

assurance. Confidence. A faint smile appears on Youngmul Angabok’s wrinkled mouth.

“Are you sure about what?”

“Possibility. “For now, the appropriate answer is possibility.”

“Hmm-”

After hearing the answer, the old man’s mind began to spin quickly. Although it is quite old, there is no stuttering.

‘Joseph Felton is a producer well-known in Hollywood. Why did such a friend suddenly become interested in Korean actors?’

Are you currently preparing a work? Or do you just want to save it to your actor list?

Preparation was a prerequisite for making a name for yourself as a producer in Hollywood. No, it would be no exaggeration to say that it was the most important. No matter what kind of work is involved, at any moment, when major decision makers such as film companies, distributors, and directors want something, the producer has to come forward right away.

Actors were also one of many ingredients.

The biggest reason why Joseph Felton is considered competent in Hollywood is that he is ready for anything. Director Gabok Ang also knew this well.

‘You’ve made a name for yourself as a producer in the vast Hollywood… But who are you talking about? Severe? Kang Woo-jin?’

It was clear that Joseph’s investigation in Hollywood was probably a ‘leech’ situation to date, and only two main actors were confirmed. Great actors Shin Shim-ho and Kang Woo-jin. In other words, Joseph Felton is one of two actors.

Even if I asked them to tell me outright, I couldn’t expect a clear answer.

Hollywood is a world-famous place, but it is also a place with many secrets. However, it was not that difficult for veteran coach Angabok to guess.

‘As expected…is he Shim Han-ho’s friend? No, almost certainly.’

The answer is easy just by doing a simple calculation. Kang Woo-jin has not yet shown his work in Hollywood, but there are too many cases like Shim Shim-ho to list them all. There are also Hollywood works taken.

In Hollywood, actor verification is quite strict.

As far as director Anga Bok knew, it was quite vague. Even for a Korean actor to film a Hollywood film, he must go through numerous auditions and tests. If we look at those conditions, it is true that Shim-ho is right. At least that was the case in director Anga Bok’s calculations.

‘But Shim Shim-ho’s friend must have already been verified, right? Are you trying to check your recent form considering the hiatus?’

At this time, Joseph’s voice continued through the cell phone.

“I plan to go to Korea soon.”

“is that so?”

“Yes, there are things to sort out with the distributor regarding the release of the work.”

“hmm. So, are you trying to match that time with seeing my filming site?”

“I think that would be okay for the schedule. Of course, this is assuming that the director gives permission.”

“It would be better since there is a distance, but I am not sure when my movie will start cranking.”

“……”

It was a few seconds later that Joseph’s voice, which had been silent for a moment, was heard again.

“Director, you are aiming for Cannes this time, right? Cannes opens around the end of September this time. In that case, doesn’t the story come to fruition only if we start cranking in at least February or March at the latest?”

right. His answer matched Director Ang Bok’s calculations. We had to start filming in February and crank it up before the end of June. I’ll focus on editing until September. Then submit it.

Director Gabok Ang laughed at this.

‘As expected, you know everything.’

Joseph spoke again through the cell phone.

“Of course, Director Ahn’s permission is the top priority. Of course, we also promise that no damage will be caused to the filming site.”

A famous producer who controls Hollywood is coming to the scene. Director Angabok nodded slowly.

‘I’m almost certain that Shim Han-ho is that friend. Whatever it is, isn’t it a good thing? Joseph can also see Woojin. If things work out well, there will be opportunities for both of us.’

I answered Joseph with a deeper smile.

“You are welcome. Just contact us in advance.”

Late morning a few days later.

2020 has come to an end and 2021 has begun. From the 1st to the 4th after Friday, Saturday and Sunday. monday.

At this time, Kang Woo-jin was in a bizarre village.

A bulletproof hat with lots of dark stains, a frayed or torn military uniform, military uniform pants that are appropriately stained with dust and blood, and military boots covered in scuffs.

“Hu-hu-hu-”

The muzzle of the gun resting on my shoulder trembles slightly. Woojin’s body also has a slight pulsation. That signal is transmitted through the butt of the gun.

-Sah.

As I sold from afar, I could hear the nice sound of waves. Next, a calm wind passes by Woojin’s cheek. It was just stroking, but for some reason I got goosebumps. The sound of my heart is ringing in my ears.

The village was deathly quiet.

There isn’t even any pretense of popularity. But Kang Woo-jin.

“……”

The front is being held in check with the trembling muzzle of the gun. Inhalation and exhalation through the nose are irregular. He continued to breathe with difficulty, but his breathing was full of anxiety and tension.

My heart is tightening. afraid. scary. I want to run away.

Yes, the current Kang Woo-jin was ‘Corporal Jin Seon-cheol’.

Looking at the scared pupils wandering around aimlessly, it seemed like he was the timid one of the two selves. Corporal Jin Seon-cheol existed on the ‘Island of the Missing’ and currently stands in a village where there is not even a sound of ants.

But why? Why is there no one?

Fifteen soldiers are stationed around Corporal Jin Seon-cheol, who has confusion and fear written on his face. The blood and stains on their uniforms were all different. The viewing angle is also different. However, the fact that the muzzle was facing the front, heightened alertness, and the fact that they were all thin, as if they were consuming calories every time they breathed, was the same.

Sensitive or tense.

Panic prevailed in the spirits of the soldiers surveying the village. Like a rubber band pulled all the way to the end. If someone yells at me evilly, I feel like they will open fire at any moment. At that time, one of the soldiers muttered softly.

“Fuck – this damn island.”

A crunching sound was heard behind him. To be exact, it was the noise made by dog tags hitting someone’s pocket. Ryu Jeong-min, with a serious face, moved next to the soldier who had just recited. No, it was ‘Lieutenant Choi Yoo-tae’, the leader of this troop.

Lieutenant Choi Yu-tae looked at the village lined with private houses and various buildings and then opened his mouth.

“It’s so…quiet.”

It’s been three days since I came down to the village to escape the strange creatures. It definitely felt safer than that damn mountain, but it was strange. Why is it so quiet?

“It’s like the calm before the storm.”

Someone’s gaze surrounds Lieutenant Choi Yoo-tae and the soldiers. But it was uncertain. Nevertheless, as a leader, Lieutenant Choi Yoo-tae had to make a decision.

Should I stay here or go back to the mountain?

“Damn it.”

There was only one answer anyway. It would be crazy to go back to the mountain and say hello to that strange creature. We have already lost several soldiers. There are many dog tags in the pockets of Lieutenant Choi Yu-tae’s military uniform.

We can’t lose any more soldiers.

At that time, Kim I-won. In other words, Sergeant Cho Bong-seok asked the commander softly, with his gun muzzled and bloodshot eyes in front of his eyes.

“Company commander. “How is it?”

Lieutenant Choi Yu-tae answered as he continued to look at the private houses.

“I am looking for a home here.”

“All right. Will the search stop?”

“……”

Lieutenant Choi Yoo-tae does not answer right away. He put on his slightly lowered bulletproof hat. I’m worried. What should I do? There are no signs of popularity in this village, which is quite large at first glance. Besides, I haven’t met anyone from the village since the mountain.

but.

“What is this feeling of living?”

The scent of people is everywhere in the village. Of course, there are abandoned houses here and there that are not maintained, but more than half of the houses and buildings have clearly been touched by people. Any building will rot if it is not maintained by people. But this village is clearly continuing its life.

Lieutenant Choi Yu-tae, who was breathing lightly, was convinced.

There are others besides us. You can see it, but you just don’t.

The possibility that he was hiding cannot be ruled out. Because his soldiers were firing in the mountains.

“But…are these things here actually people?”

“yes? “What did the company commander say?”

When Sergeant Cho Bong-seok asked again, his face filled with anxiety, Lieutenant Choi Yoo-tae shook his head.

“No, it’s nothing. “The search… only ends here.”

“Are you okay? “We haven’t even reached halfway through the village yet.”

“It’s not okay. But we can’t overwork our troops any further. Fatigue has reached its peak and it is not a good idea to take any more risks. “There aren’t enough bullets.”

“All right.”

After hearing the answer, Lieutenant Choi Yu-tae turned around, putting on his bulletproof hat again. When I first entered the village behind, I took a picture of a building that looked like a school that I had seen with my index finger.

“I guess we should use that as our base.”

Comrade Woo-chang is the best in size. No, Sergeant Nam Tae-oh joined in, glancing sideways.

“When I first checked, I felt like I was sure about the school. There is no playground, but there are classrooms. There is also a fence. “When I went all the way around, there was no one there.”

“Maybe now. Let’s all move together and check again.” “Yes, I understand.”

Lieutenant Choi Yu-tae held his gun and gave an order to the soldiers guarding the surrounding area.

“Slowly retreat towards that school. Vigilance continues. “Don’t answer. If you understand, move.”

-Sigh.

The soldiers swallow their saliva and slowly take a step back from where they stand. The same was true for Kang Woo-jin, whose outstretched legs were visibly shaking. Looking at him like that, muscular Sergeant Nam Tae-oh lets out a long sigh.

“Hey, Jin Seon-cheol. you come next to me “I’m so anxious that I can’t just leave it alone.”

Corporal Jin Seon-cheol turns his head back and his lips tremble. I have a severe stutter.

“It’s okay.”

“Stop fucking with me. “Stay close.”

“Ah, I understand.”

Corporal Jin Seon-cheol clings next to Sergeant Nam Tae-oh. Excessive anxiety and relief appeared in his eyes at the same time. The twitching facial muscles also relax slightly. Strangely, I was more flexible than before.

Around this time, another guy inside Corporal Jin Seon-cheol muttered.

‘It’s so boring to begin with.’

A line from a tough guy. However, it did not come out of Corporal Jin Seon-cheol’s mouth. His expression just changed for a moment. It was expressed only with emotion. It was strange. I am complaining to everyone about my momentary irritation.

This too is more advanced than before.

It may be because of Kang Woo-jin’s sign language and singing skills that elevated Corporal Jin Seon-cheol. Everything he has learned is being used in acting. Meanwhile, Lieutenant Choi Yoo-tae’s mind was filled with only ‘survival’.

“Drinking water – What about drinking water?”

The answer was given by Sergeant Jeong Hye-jin, who cut her hair short. It was Hayura.

“There is no way there is tap water. To get water, you have to enter the mountain again. “I saw a waterway flowing from the mountain.”

“Are you sure?”

“yes.”

“……It means that I have to go to the mountain again in the end. The same goes for food. “How many times have you seen wild boars?”

Sergeant Jeong Hye-jin nodded. Lieutenant Choi Yu-tae let out a long sigh. I am deeply worried.

“This isn’t extreme survival.”

In this way, the troops managed to get close to the school fence.

It was at this time.

“Hey, Jin Seon-cheol. Stop falling, dude. “They’re all here.”

“Oh, I understand, Sergeant.”

-Hwiik!

The mysterious sound of the wind spreads. Wind noise? It definitely looks like something is dividing the space.

Within.

-Paak!!!

In an instant, an intense noise rang out, and Sergeant Nam Tae-oh, who was standing to the right of Corporal Jin Seon-cheol, suddenly let out a groan.

“Big!! Whoop!”

Because something long was stuck in the lower part of my abdomen. The pain that followed.

“Big!”

It was an arrow.

The arrow, which is rare in modern times, hit Sergeant Nam Tae-oh not just slightly, but almost halfway into his stomach. Sergeant Nam Tae-oh was the biggest, but he collapsed as soon as he recognized the arrow lodged in his abdomen.

“Aaaahhh!!!”

He threw away his gun and all his weapons and lay down on the floor, screaming. Soon Corporal Jin Seon-cheol, startled, clung to him.

“Sergeant Rice!! What the hell is this??? Company commander! Fire arrow!”

At this moment, the calm battle line suddenly changed. The safety pins of the officers and soldiers were pulled out.

“arrow??! “Is that an arrow??!!!”

“Fuck!!! what?!! “Where did you come from?”

“where are you!! “Where are you, you bastards!!”

“hey! Don’t turn the gun!! Don’t shoot!! “Comrades in arms are beaten!!”

“who is this!!! come out!! “Show me your face!”

arrow? Where are you? who? why? It’s clear that someone shot him, but there’s no way to know who it was. Lieutenant Choi Yoo-tae, whose eyes grew wide, stood in front of Sergeant Nam Tae-o and shouted.

“Wake!!! Everyone, don’t come out and run inside the fence!! Jin Seon-cheol!! “Be alert and drag Sergeant Nam into the fence!!”

As he shouted out the command, something suddenly occurred to his mind. target. Yes, Sergeant Nam Tae-oh would have been the easiest to guess. Because he’s big. In other words, it has become a target.

“Jin Seon-cheol!! What are you doing you idiot!!! “Don’t be fooled and move Sergeant Nam!!!”

“Hehe! Yes yes yes!”

This moment.

“Cut.”

A familiar voice sounded in the ears of the excited soldiers.

“okay.”

It was the signature of the lithe director Kwon Ki-taek. Soon, dozens of staff members rushed to the actors. It was long. Because it was a long take shoot. The staff attached to the actors fixed their makeup or handed them water.

Meanwhile, director Kwon Ki-taek was wearing short padding in front of a monitor slightly away from the filming zone.

“This cut is the best.”

He was nodding his head slowly. Because it was already the third re-action. What is unusual is that the number of staff around him is greater than usual. In particular, there are many people wearing suits.

The reason was simple.

Officials from ‘Island of the Missing’, which was in the middle and latter stages of filming, were in attendance. Investors, distribution company employees, higher-ups at film companies, etc. Although this visit was decided upon from the first planning meeting, there were other reasons included in their intentions.

The declaration that Kang Woo-jin made at the film festival.

To determine its validity. Of course, everyone knew that Kang Woo-jin’s acting was not inferior here. However, Kang Woo-jin declared war in front of many top actors.

For those involved in ‘Island of the Missing’, this was not an issue that could be ignored.

And Kang Woo-jin’s filming ends in mid-January.

Before that, the officials had to accurately see Kang Woo-jin’s appearance in ‘Island of the Missing’.

About this way.

“It’s done, Director!!”

The assistant director shouted loudly among the gathered actors. This means that preparations for filming the next scene are complete. The composition is similar to a long take scene. Ryu Jeong-min blocks the way of the two half-mad soldiers, Comrade Woo-chang, who is lying down with an arrow stuck in his abdomen, and Kang Woo-jin, who is supporting him from the side.

Soon, the actors’ images were displayed on the monitor that Director Kwon Ki-taek was watching.

-Sigh.

Director Kwon Ki-taek raises the megaphone.

“Hi-action.”

Filming continued immediately.

It starts with the fearful cries of the soldiers. Jeon Woo-chang, who had a brain malfunction, took over after him. He lets out a strange groan as he looks at the arrow still half-implanted in his stomach.

“Hehehehehe. “Profit-”

The camera closes up from above him. Comrade Woo-chang is dying. Although he was still alive, he was no different from being dead. Because there is no room for medical staff on this ‘Island of the Missing’.

Blood soaks Comrade Woo-chang’s military uniform on his abdomen. Death seems to be slowly spreading through military uniforms.

“Fuck you. What is this? “Turn it off, what are you saying?”

Tears stream down from the corners of Jeon Woo-chang’s eyes as he claps his hands together. An endless amount of saliva came out of my mouth. So did the runny nose. The moisture present in the body, including blood, is continuously consumed.

The fear of death approaching before our eyes.

Jeon Woo-chang feels his body getting cold. Save me, please save me. Why did such a ridiculous arrow stick in my stomach? Corporal Jin Seon-cheol supports him as he cries. In other words, he desperately pulled on Kang Woo-jin’s military uniform on his forearm.

“Huh! Hey, hehehe, what the fuck is this? Seoncheol. Me too. Ugh- please save me. “Wow!”

Jeon Woo-chang, who was spitting blood from his mouth, raised his eyes upward. Likewise, the camera was also angled from bottom to top. Jeon Woo-chang looks at Kang Woo-jin’s face looking down at him.

“……?”

At that moment, Jeon Woo-chang’s pupils got bigger. I swallow back the blood that was regurgitating in my mouth. As my body cools down, goosebumps appear.

Kang Woo-jin is looking down and smiling sheepishly.

The timidity that used to fill his eyes is gone, and his pupils are full of joy. It was that kind of face. Why are the corners of your mouth curved like a bow? It was Jeon Woo-chang who felt as if an arrow stuck in his stomach had been shot from Woojin’s mouth.

It was the devil.

The devil is slowly enjoying the human’s breath.

The side profile of Corporal Jin Seon-cheol. The devil.

‘Smile?’

Lieutenant Choi Yu-tae also noticed.
