I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 212
I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 212
(New Year (3))
Chairman Hideki was looking at an article that seemed to have just appeared.
『[Breaking News] Korean actor “Kang Woo-jin” appointed as advertising model for Kashihi Group affiliate? ‘A strange thing happened’』
He nodded slowly, as if satisfied. He then checks the contents of the article. As expected, only the information Chairman Hideki wanted was shown. Adequate information, neither too much nor too little.
Chairman Hideki, who was reading the article, spoke again to his assistant, Lili.
“What did you decide to do with BW Entertainment?”
She, with her long hair neatly tied back, gave a quick answer.
“After we published the article first, they decided to publish an officially acknowledged article about half a day later today.”
“Our position is.”
“We plan to send out an additional article in an hour.”
The ‘position’ that Chairman Hideki spoke of was the ‘recognition’ of the Kashihi Group. Korean actor Kang Woo-jin was accepted as a model for several affiliates.
Perhaps the Japanese media will heat up after this.
In fact, other media companies have now followed suit.
『Kang Woo-jin, who set a record of 8 awards in Korea, suddenly signed a modeling contract with affiliates of the Kashihi Group?』 This is the
first time that the Kashihi Group has used a Korean actor as a model, and even in the Japanese entertainment industry as a whole, a Korean celebrity has become an advertising model. Because it was rare. Moreover, the main character is none other than Kang Woo-jin.
He had already become a hot topic several times in Japan near the end of the year.
The strange incident of Hwarin, an exclusive photo shoot with Miley Kara, and even 8 awards that left an unprecedented record in the Korean entertainment industry. In terms of popularity in Japan, they were already on par with most KPOP idols. The Japanese media was bound to be excited as Woojin suddenly became the advertising model for the Kashihi Group.
In addition, the fact that the Kashihi Group was behind ‘Familiar Gisaeng’ was almost a fait accompli, even though there was no official announcement, so curiosity was likely to increase.
Whatever it was, Chairman Hideki, who was looking at his cell phone again, crossed his legs.
“BW Entertainment’s move went smoothly?”
“Yes, Chairman. “After moving, we are now aggressively expanding our business.”
“What about Kang Woo-jin?”
“I have been focusing on filming my work since it became a hot topic at the year-end awards ceremony.”
“Hmm, I’m still busy. “When are you coming over to Japan?”
“I think it will only become clear once director Kyotaro Tanoguchi of ‘The Stranger’ confirms filming, but I think it will be released within January. The pre-stage of ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’ is over and we only need to fix it on the day of filming.”
“It’s the end of the year and the new year. Are you just waiting because you’re so crazy?”
“Yes, there are also problems with the actors’ schedules.”
After hearing the answer, Chairman Hideki once again raised his harsh voice.
“Check again on the ‘Unfamiliar Stranger’ section.”
At this time, Kyoto, Japan.
An area in Kyoto that is closer to the sea. It was a place that was often called a tourist destination. The fishing village ‘Inefunaya’ is also called an underwater village with the sea in front and mountains behind.
In fact, Inefunaya fishing village was floating on the sea.
Of course, it was a village built on the edge of the land, but from a distance it looked like it was floating over the sea. If it’s a superb view, it’s a superb view. The village wasn’t that big. But somehow, the interior of each house matches well with the sea and mountains, making it look like a painting. The village was quiet overall. At first glance, it seemed like it had some charm, but if you looked at it from a different perspective, it was a strangely creepy silence.
A group of fifteen people appeared in Inefunaya Village. Of course Japanese people.
Some people were on a boat taking pictures of the village from afar, while others walked around the alleyways inside the small village to check the situation. You can also see people concentrating on conversation while taking pictures of each private house. At first glance, I thought he was a tourist, but he wasn’t.
“It definitely has a bit of an eerie feel to it.”
“The director saw it well. “It’s nice now, but the atmosphere gets really lively in the late afternoon or at night.”
“In particular, the condition of the alley fits perfectly with the work. “The place I saw a little while ago looked like a real murder case had taken place.”
“Indeed…the director’s eye for selecting locations is amazing. “Isn’t this the place that appeared in the original work in the first place?”
“that’s right. “I heard that it was added separately by the director when he was adapting ‘The Stranger.’”
It was like that. These were the production crew of director Kyotaro’s film ‘The Strange Sacrifice of a Stranger’. Among them, the key staff members of each team gathered together. Therefore, a familiar master director was also present at the beginning of the mountain behind the village, where the village can be seen at a glance.
It was director Kyotaro Tanoguchi, with short, grayish hair.
“Hmm-”
He had his arms crossed and was looking around the fishing village of Inefunaya with the assistant director of the production department and others. Like this, the reason why the key staff of ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’, including director Kyotaro, came here was simple. It was the last location hunt before filming began.
Because the first filming of ‘Familiar Gisaeng’ begins right here.
It wasn’t that uncommon to crank it up for outdoor filming. However, it usually starts with a set. We do not necessarily choose outdoor filming as our first filming, as it requires a lot of staff and actors to move around. On the other hand, ‘unfamiliar parasite’. Director Kyotaro chose the fishing village of Inefunaya as his first filming location.
This is because the filming schedule did not match that of the fishing village.
What can be done? The disappointing side is bound to overdo it a bit. That’s why this fishing village was a necessary location for ‘The Unfamiliar Parasite’ and was also a place that director Kyotaro was very greedy for. Inefunaya is not in the original work of ‘The Stranger’, but was contacted directly by director Kyotaro.
Soon Director Kyotaro looks at the tallest brown building in the center of the village floating on the sea.
‘Misaki Toka’s hometown house.’
It was like that. This fishing village was the birthplace of Toka Misaki, who fired the first shot at the ‘bizarre sacrifice’ of Kiyoshi Iyota, a ‘stranger’ according to the setting of ‘Familiar Parasite’. Director Kyotaro then passes the tall brown building and looks at the sea in the distance.
To be precise, I am staring at a fishing boat floating in the sea.
‘Where the naked victims will be found.’
It means that one of the homework tasks to be done by Kiyoshi Iyota, played by Kang Woo-jin, is the ship that will be discovered. It was true that it was definitely bizarre. A naked victim in Tokyo would suddenly be found on Inefunaya’s fishing boat floating on the sea of this fishing village at the tip of Kyoto.
Even with panties blowing.
Naturally, all cuts were currently playing only in Director Kyotaro’s head. And he smiled with satisfaction. It must have been gloomy enough, and a grotesque picture was being created.
“I want to grab the camera right away.”
Director Kyotaro is itching. Preparations for filming ‘Familiar Gisaeng’ had already been completed. In fact, all I had to do was set the first day of shooting and set up the camera. However, film production cannot proceed as the director wishes. First of all, the end of the year and the new year coincided, and more than anything else, we had to agree with ‘Inefunaya’, which had been selected as the first filming location.
There was also a visit today to find an agreement.
It was at this time.
“Director!”
I could hear a man’s voice calling out to Director Kyotaro from down there. As I looked, the production manager and production staff who had left to discuss with the village were coming up, and the production manager, who was out of breath, gave a thumbs up to Director Kyotaro, who was standing at the beginning of the mountain.
“Fortunately, the. “Somehow I was able to convince him.”
Director Kyotaro, with his arms crossed, asked right away.
“What are the conditions?”
“We originally said it would be difficult to film for more than one day, but due to circumstances, we extended the filming to three days. Instead, I think I’ll have to spend a little more than the equivalent of three days.”
It was about money. Director Kyotaro, who recalled Chairman Hideki, the main investor, said it did not matter.
“However much. Moreover, access to the village would be blocked during filming. “That’s natural, right?”
“Yes, and the village can prepare accommodation. “There are places to stay quite nearby.”
“hmm. “Anyway, it’s three days – it must be a forced march.”
“It seems a bit difficult to increase it further. Fortunately, the CEO here is a fan of author Akari, so I was able to dig into it. “It also helped that the movie ‘Familiar Gisaeng’ was well-known.”
“thank you for your effort.”
Director Kyotaro pats the shoulder of the production manager, who is rather thin. Then he turned his gaze back to the village ahead.
“As we have limited time, we must prepare more thoroughly. The production department checks production costs and routes related to this village, and the directing department talks with the filming team to carefully check props and actor schedules.”
“Yes, Director.”
“All right.”
“So when can I start the three days given?”
The production manager took out a thin wad of paper from his back pocket. It was a piece of paper with the expected shooting schedule written on it.
“The village is saying right now that next week will be difficult. “How about January 21st?”
“21 days?”
Director Kyotaro tapping on a calculator. It wasn’t bad. Anyway, Director Kyotaro was busy with things other than his work this week. Director Kyotaro soon made a decision.
“Then let’s finalize it with the village on the 21st.”
I gave instructions to the production manager.
“I told the actors that they would meet the day before, on the 20th, because they would rehearse that day.”
The next morning, the 8th. korea.
The cries of the staff resonate at the filming site of ‘Island of the Missing’, which includes Kang Woo-jin. For some reason, I have more energy today.
“Cut okay. Let’s go back to Figure Bast.”
“Person bust standby!!”
The current Woojin’s makeup is a bit different than usual. Although the bulletproof helmet and blood-stained military uniform are the same.
“But doesn’t Woojin’s beard look quite good on him?”
“Recognition, recognition. “I was surprised because it turned out better than I expected.”
“But as always, Woojin is the coolest handsome guy.”
A beard was visible on his face. Kang Woo-jin, who calmly continued filming, felt awkward about his beard.
‘It’s not very good. Doesn’t it look like a homeless person?’
It’s not shaggy, but feels rough. At director Kwon Ki-taek’s request, he grew his hair without shaving and the power of makeup was added.
why?
In the scenario, Corporal Jin Seon-cheol runs away into the mountains and disappears. This happened after Lieutenant Choi Yoo-tae witnessed one of the soldiers falling from the school rooftop. And now, after some time has passed, this cut suddenly appears again.
“Hi-action.”
Woojin’s counterpart was Hayura. They are attacked by villagers from the ‘Island of the Missing’ who appear. Strangely, the person who saved it was Corporal Jin Seon-cheol, who had disappeared.
“Cut. “Let’s be a little more shocked by Yura and Woojin’s appearance.”
“Yes, director.”
The filming of one cut took a very long time. Director Kwon Ki-taek was cozy in front of the monitor, and about 100 staff members were waiting, so were the actors and their teams who came out to watch.
“……”
“……”
Everyone’s expressions were quite stern. The air in the filming set is also stinging. There is such a sensitive atmosphere.
“action.”
How many hours have passed like that?
Only after numerous directing and camera composition changes.
“……Cut okay. “This cut is now done.”
Satisfaction came out of the mouth of master director Kwon Ki-taek. There were only 12 reshoots in total. Kang Woo-jin, who soon got used to the beard, sighed softly to himself.
‘After – finishing.’
He casually extended his hand to Hayura, who was sitting on the floor with short hair and disheveled hair. Even she, who doesn’t smile often, smiled this time.
“thank you. And thank you for your hard work, Woojin.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
At this time, director Kwon Ki-taek, wearing thick padding, approached the two actors. There was a smile on his face, and Director Kwon Ki-taek, who tapped Kang Woo-jin on the shoulder, spoke softly.
“You gave me strength during this time. Thanks to you, I think my greed has only grown. Should I say that my eyes have become higher?”
“Thank you, Director.”
“Can you get some rest now?”
Woojin, with an indifferent face, shook his head.
“no. “After some domestic schedules, I will move on to Japan.”
“Right. Is he an ‘unfamiliar parasite’?”
“yes.”
Hayura shook her head as if she was fed up.
“Woojin, won’t you die then? Why is the schedule so tight? “Once I finish one piece, I need to take some rest.”
“It’s not that hard.”
Director Kwon Ki-taek, who laughed, joined in again.
“Please give my regards to Director Kyotaro. Woojin, take care of your health at all times. “I’ll see you again in hindsight.”
At that moment, the staff gathered around.
“Thank you for your hard work, Woojin!!”
“Wow – the actors are slowly leaving one by one! “Why am I sad??”
“Thank you for your hard work, Woojin!!”
“Are you coming to our movie ‘Crank Up’ dinner?”
“Fighting to film other projects as well!!!”
Many staff shouting support and gratitude. Kang Woo-jin bowed his head to those who had been through hardships and sorrows on the ‘Island of the Missing’. It was a poker face, but it was sincere.
“Thank you for your hard work and thank you.”
Kang Woo-jin’s filming for ‘Island of the Missing’ has ended.
Meanwhile, LA, USA.
It was late morning in Korea, but it was afternoon in LA. Is it just time to get off work? Whether in Korea or LA, the scene after work was the same. Crowds moving around on crowded roads, crowded subways, etc. Meanwhile, filming was in full swing at a famous broadcasting company’s studio in Hollywood, LA.
This picture too was familiar.
The main studio, which was the filming zone, was visible, and outside the studio area there were numerous cameras and filming equipment lined up. The foreign staff seen in the meantime have a concentrated expression on their faces.
What they were putting a lot of effort into filming was a talk show.
‘The Jamie Show’ is called one of the top three talk shows in America. Main host Jamie is also a well-known broadcaster in Korea. The shooting composition gives the impression that host Jamie is sitting at a gothic desk and the guest who will be conducting the talk is seated on a luxurious sofa in front of the desk. A top blonde Hollywood actress was currently sitting on the sofa.
Soon the slightly chubby Jamie called the blonde woman’s name in English.
“Haha Miley. Shall we change the topic this time? “You went to Korea last time?”
The guest was Miley Kara, wearing a tight knit and jeans. Perhaps because she was filming, her characteristic cold appearance was not visible.
“That’s right, I came here to promote a movie, like a talk show.”
“How was Korea?”
“It was fantastic.”
“Is this your first time there?”
Miley Kara leisurely changed the direction of her braided legs in response to a question.
“yes. “It was my first time, and there were a lot of things that really impressed me.”
“Oh, I also wanted to go to Korea this year, so I’ve been making plans since last year. What impressed you? After all, food?”
“Um-no, the most impressive thing was the actor.”
“Aha Korean actor! There are many Korean actors whose names are well-known in Hollywood. I also like K-dramas. But who is the Korean actor?”
Kara, who changed the direction of her braided legs, responded with a small smile.
“Kang Woo-jin really looks like an alien.”
At this time, Kang Woo-jin was walking with his team to the outdoor parking lot of the ‘Island of the Missing’ set.
Moment.
‘ah.’
Woojin paused slightly with a grave expression and casually picked his ears.
‘It tickles. Who’s talking about me?’
