I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 214

I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 214

(Momentum (1))

The first thing humans do when they see a creative object is imagination. What would it be like if I were in this world? If it were me, I would do it this way or that way. Flying in the sky, waking up in space, or witnessing a monster you’ve never even heard of.

It will be similar no matter what genre it is.

Even while watching a simple romantic comedy, I imagine myself as the main character. The work amplifies the reader’s emotions. Moreover, it makes you fall in love with the work.

So what would it be like if you became the main character of an animation?

First of all, you will imagine what the world will look like. Because it’s completely different from movies or dramas. Animation is a drawn world.

Nevertheless, there are protagonists and characters, and there is a story.

It may be awkward for us, but for the protagonist of the animation, that world is reality and life. The animation world that Kang Woo-jin was currently reading (and experiencing) was also real.

Of course, it may be a little special.

The sun in the sky, the clouds that provide temporary shade, the birds flying above, the tall buildings densely packed, the many signs on those buildings, the cars running on the road, and the countless people crossing the crosswalk. Because it was clearly different from the usual appearance of Kang Woo-jin.

It’s like God accidentally spilled paint.

It feels like color has been poured into the world. But no one here is complaining. Because this is normal and normal here. Everyone who passed by Kang Woo-jin on the sidewalk right now just walked briskly without knowing that the color had been applied to them.

Even Woojin was confused at first.

“……”

Gradually, my feelings of appreciation grew. Because everything, from the character’s feelings to the five senses, spread through my veins. Perhaps because the script was only 50% complete, the buildings in the distance were blurred and more than half of the people were out of sight. But Woojin didn’t mind. That was my feeling.

Currently, there was only one thought encroaching on Kang Woo-jin’s brain.

‘Be quiet today too.’

A day without noise is best. Doing something that stands out will only get you into trouble. Don’t go overboard, but don’t be too stupid. Just keeping it normal. Woojin is currently thinking about this to himself. No, I am forced to reflect.

It was then.

“What? “Isn’t he a little gloomy?”

“Hehe- really. “Where is the school?”

Two high school girls passing by giggle at Kang Woo-jin. They also seem to be colored, but their fluttering skirts look natural. Woojin muttered bitterly to himself.

‘I saw it, but let’s pretend not to see it.’

Their school uniforms included jackets and it was a bit chilly, so the season was around fall. The wind blows on Kang Woo-jin’s face. Bangs flash in his field of vision. Do you have long hair? It was when Woojin was just about to stretch out his feet.

“What are you doing standing there stupidly? “Is it a hindrance?”

A woman’s voice was heard from behind. Japanese. It was a voice that came out of nowhere, but Woojin was familiar with the female voice. Because it was a voice I heard often. No, it felt boring. Then, Kang Woo-jin slowly turned his head.

On the way, Kang Woo-jin’s current appearance is reflected in the window of a store right next to him.

Pretty tall, navy school uniform, tie, similar colored tote bag on shoulder, black hair or messy hair that covers the eyes, glasses of an ambiguous size. Of course, the glasses and messy hair were all staged. For a discreet look.

The woman standing behind Woojin.

“What are you doing here, idiot?”

My eyes were big. Brown eye color similar to hair color. And there were dots under my eyes. She also looks like a cartoon with colors sprinkled on it, but Kang Woo-jin frowns without any particular problem.

“The weather hasn’t been good since the morning. “I met the person I most need to avoid.”

“shut up. “Don’t block the road, just get out of the way.”

“You can avoid it on your own.”

“Because I don’t want to change direction because of you.”

“People cannot live only doing good things.”

“……joy.”

The woman glares at Woojin and passes by. At the same time, it makes a soft sound and flutters its long brown hair. It smelled like good shampoo. That woman is Kang Woo-jin’s childhood friend who lives next door. No, not now. The farther away she was, the more blurred her appearance and color became.

It may be a characteristic characteristic of animation, but it didn’t bother Woojin.

Because I had to pull myself together again and go to school.

Kang Woo-jin walked and walked. His surroundings certainly changed, but in a strangely haphazard way. The lines and colors of the buildings did not match, or the movements of people were irregular.

The puppy that just passed by Woojin’s feet doesn’t even have color.

Kang Woo-jin arrived at high school like that. He continued to reflect on ‘quietness’ until he settled into the classroom. Thanks to this, his presence in the classroom is close to zero. It’s about ‘boy student 1’ that no one cares about. Of course, this was what Kang Woo-jin wanted.

But the woman Woojin’s childhood friend whom he met that morning was different.

“Let’s go to the store! store!”

“Hey – already?”

“Let’s go together!”

She was a popular star. There were always lots of friends around me. I guess it’s because I like the style. Do you know anything? To Kang Woo-jin, it’s just an odd move. He blends in like water in a noisy classroom and quietly falls into his seat. It was to practice ‘quietly today as well’.

But the peace was broken after the teacher appeared.

“Everyone knows, right? A two-day cultural festival begins next week – “

The biggest event or festival in high school. It was a very troubling event that shook the whole school. Woojin rested his chin and made a promise. Let’s do some moving work this year too. However, Woojin’s childhood friend suddenly stood up and shouted.

“Guys! “How about him as this year’s ‘costume’?”

Her index finger points to Kang Woo-jin, who does not exist at the window. Soon, all the children in the blind class turned their heads to Woojin. Woojin narrowed his eyebrows and muttered to himself.

‘Should I kill him?’

‘Costume’ was a stage called the flower of the cultural festival. Select one student from each class and transform them into a character from a famous cartoon.

From here, his quiet life began to creak.

.

.

.

.

How much time has passed?

[“The reading of ‘A: 1’ is ending.”]

At the end, a robotic female voice is heard in Kang Woo-jin’s ears.

‘ah.’

In an instant, Woojin’s vision changed. The location is a parking lot. And the front of the big van. Seonggeon Choi, the ponytail, is explaining something.

“The fact that the first draft of the script has been released means that ‘A10 Studio’ has already started production.”

Woojin, who was looking at him silently, slowly lowered his gaze. Seeing myself touched. I open and close my hands. I also see the feet underneath them. I raise my head again and look around at Seonggeon Choi, the van behind him, and the parking lot.

It’s strangely awkward.

Although Kang Woo-jin’s mind soon became clearer, the animation world he had recently visited was truly shocking.

‘Where did I just go?’

Yeah, it felt exactly like that. Do you feel like you’ve lived in another world? It seems like I completed all the necessary quests and returned to the world I originally lived in. In conclusion, whether it’s an anime or here, it’s all reality. However, Woojin realized that the feeling he feels now is a bit different from that of having a role in a movie or drama.

‘It’s like there’s another dimension – I don’t know, how can I express this?’

One thing that is certain is that it is a feeling that only Kang Woo-jin, out of all the population on earth, can feel. and.

‘It’s fun, isn’t it?’

Kang Woo-jin was not in bad condition right now. At this time, pony-haired Choi Seong-geon tilted his head.

“Hey Woojin. What’re you doing? “Are you listening to me?”

Woojin, who was immediately equipped with coldness, nodded.

“Yes, CEO.”

“Hmm- Anyway, if you just glance at the animation, you’ll understand, right? The original work is ‘Boyfriend’. “They said they were adapting ‘Male Friend’ and removing the story.”

ah? So the female lead strangely resembles Hwarin? The story of the short but lived-in animation was like that. Although the environment is different, the theme of the story that penetrates the script is similar to ‘Male Friend’. Woojin asked casually.

“Are you making ‘Boyfriend’ into an animation?”

“yes. Considering that it has progressed to this point, it seems like discussions with writer Choi and Netflix have already been completed. Well, it’s not like there aren’t cases like this. In fact, the opposite is more common. From cartoons to animations to live-action films.”

On the other hand, there were cases where live-action works were translated into animations and comics.

“What do you think Woojin looks like? It’s still vague because it’s only the first episode script and it’s a rough draft. Doesn’t your crazy sense kick in?”

It has already been activated. However, the grade was D, perhaps due to low level of completion.

“well.”

However, Woojin thought that the story itself was interesting, even if it was because he had actually lived it. The main male character, whose main purpose is to live quietly, reveals his hidden true self, and from there, his leisurely life goes awry. The characters, including the female protagonist who is his childhood friend, gradually mix together.

Of course, the core is a romantic comedy with a male and female lead.

Whatever it was, Seong-geon Choi asked back as he received the script back from Woo-jin.

“I completely understand why ‘A10 Studio’ wants you as a voice actor. They probably want to take advantage of your topicality in Japan, your Japanese skills, and your unexpected novelty. So what should I do? “Production companies often want to meet, but if you’re not good, you can just conveniently not do it.”

Kang Woo-jin answered simply.

“I think it would be okay to watch the meeting.”

It was a decision derived purely from ‘fun’.

The next morning, the 11th. A large action school in Seoul.

A place where many martial arts staff members run around. Gray mats were spread all over the floor, and the equipment set up in each space was different. Places with wires hanging from the ceiling or wooden swords erected, etc. In the center of the place, bearded producer Song Man-woo was seen wearing light padding. He had his arms crossed and a serious face.

“hmm.”

To be precise, the directing team and martial arts team of ‘Beneficial Evil’ came together. And now, producer Song Man-woo was checking the martial arts team’s action movements.

“Huh!”

“Huh!”

“town!!”

It is fierce yet restrained.

Confirming the action story line created by the martial arts director and his team. The length ranged from episode 1 to episode 2, and on the mat, several martial arts team members were adjusting their martial arts skills according to the storyboard. The method by which people were selected at Action School was simple.

After the entire martial arts team becomes familiar with the storyboard created by the martial arts director, the person with the best form is selected from there.

Of course, experience comes first.

Anyway, producer Song Man-woo, who was looking closely at the black short-sleeved martial arts team members, slowly nodded. Looks very satisfied.

‘It’s okay.’

Producer Man-Woo Song was responsible for the action. Because of that, I was watching with a bit of sensitivity, and I quite liked the action storyboard presented by the martial arts director. A martial art that is realistic yet flashy.

The martial arts desired by each director are completely different.

Some people seek the coolness of action, some want brutality, some want splendor, and some want clarity. Producer Song Man-woo of the drama version liked the large volume and realistic taste. The impact is achieved through sound or camera movement.

Next, the martial arts director wearing the same black T-shirt as the martial arts staff standing next to Producer Song Man-woo asked vaguely.

“how is it? “I’m a little scared because you’re not saying anything.”

The martial arts director with a strong body shows an awkward smile. On the other hand, producer Song Man-woo, who was watching the martial arts storyboard, waved his beard and answered seriously.

“You said the storyboard was good, right? I’m so nervous for no reason. “A player among players.”

“Haha, you know everything. “Do you think martial arts is like seeing it in person with Conti?”

“Is the number of these friends confirmed?”

“Uh oh. “Play the best.”

“Let’s go a little harder.”

“okay.”

The martial arts director called the team members who were performing the action, stopped them, and instructed them to do something. Soon the action scene starts again from the beginning. Of course, it’s more extreme than before.

“Huh!”

“Ugh!”

Meanwhile, producer Song Man-woo was mulling over directing in his head. By imagination, Kang Woo-jin was inserted into that martial arts team. Producer Song Man-woo, with a faint smile on his face, gave instructions to the assistant director standing next to him.

“Okay, pass it on to Mr. Woojin of the martial arts storyboard. Right now. And if the martial arts test is okay, check tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.”

“Yes, I understand!”

Assistant director running fast. Then, the martial arts director returned and asked producer Song Man-woo.

“Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? Isn’t it too fast? “Woojin, regardless of your martial arts skills, you need to take the time to familiarize yourself with the movements.”

“Woojin is leaving for Japan soon. “I need to check before that.”

“ah.”

“That friend’s schedule is so tight. The test itself probably won’t last long. Well, you just have to look at martial arts lines in moderation.”

“That’s right. Still, I’ll finally be able to see Woojin’s martial arts form in person.”

The martial arts coach muttered and rubbed his hands together.

“It’s the same with that black box video. “I’m looking forward to seeing what you have in store?”

A few minutes later, the martial arts director ordered the selected martial arts team members to take a break. The martial arts team quickly falls to the mat in a gasp. Although they were all muscular and had solid bodies, it was natural for them to be out of breath since they were performing such action moves to the death.

Among them, a man with short hair opened his mouth.

“Ugh, I almost lost Mr. But is Kang Woo-jin going to come and take the test in person?”

Several members of the martial arts team, taking a breath, responded.

“What is a test? I guess they’re just looking at the form, it’s always happened. We’re the only ones dying. Still, Kang Woo-jin is really hot, so it looks like he came by in person. “Usually I skip the test and start practicing first.”

“That’s right, Kang Woo-jin, did you see that? “Declaring war in Cheongryong.”

“I saw it. I thought he was crazy. “No matter how confident I was in my acting, I wasn’t very good at it because I was too lazy.”

“Is your personality like that? Or because the company told you to?”

“What kind of company would do something crazy like that? “It’s just that Kang Woo-jin himself is a bit of a traitor.”

“Wow, the wall is really nice.”

“It’s not stupid, it’s smart. Or maybe I just pretended to be strong and got angry.”

The members of the martial arts team continued to talk about Kang Woo-jin in small groups. It was a scene that could easily be seen anywhere in the entertainment industry.

“What do you think of Kang Woo-jin’s martial arts?”

“What is that? Looking at the black box video, I thought it would be normal, right? “The martial arts director said that he had learned real martial arts.”

“What nonsense. I just learned some self-defense skills and I guess I was lucky. But if it’s Hwarin, I think I’ll risk my life too.”

“is it? but. There was no mention of my age and exercise. This is my first time working on a proper action film. “I’m so nervous that my movements may be very slow.”

At this time, among the members of the martial arts team, there was a huge man with the longest experience. His name is Park Cheol-gyu.

“How about trying a little more martial arts movement on test day? “It’s not noticeable.”

“Eh? “You mean tight?”

“uh. Normally, if it’s your first time doing action, you go a little harder. “Make it memorable. And.”

Park Cheol-gyu, who is almost a giant, laughed softly.

“Aren’t you curious about whether Kang Woo-jin really has a strong personality?”
