I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 226
I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 226
(Sacrifice (7))
The moment director Kwon Ki-taek announced that ‘Island of the Missing’ was about to be cranked up, the excitement level of the 100 or so staff members gathered in the large set complex immediately soared.
“OMG!! at las!!”
“Thank you all for your hard work!!”
“that’s right! I wonder how this ends!! ha ha ha!”
“Director! Thank you for your effort!!”
“Huh!! “I really need to get some sleep now!”
“Come on, everyone, you forgot to clean up after yourself, right?!”
Staff members who have been through hardships together for a short period of time. They hugged each other and laughed and shared joy. The warm-hearted director Kwon Ki-taek simply sat in front of the monitor and did not particularly restrain the hundred or so staff members.
Because I knew their hard work better than anyone else.
Of course, it wasn’t 100% finished. Additional filming may occur occasionally. There were still minor schedules left, such as the production presentation and the remaining poster filming. However, at this moment, it was safe to say that the entire ‘Island of the Missing’ staff was on a break. However, director Kwon Ki-taek was real from this point on.
Because post-production, one of the core parts of film production, remains.
Accordingly, the smile slowly disappeared from the face of director Kwon Ki-taek, who was looking intently at the monitor displayed in front of him. Before he knew it, he began to organize his thoughts on editing in his head. How should I go about making a formal poster rather than a temporary poster? What about the first and second trailers? What is the opening music?
What direction will maximize the actors’ charm?
His brain suddenly started working. The filming schedule has just ended, but there is no rest. However, director Kwon Ki-taek is one of the greatest directors among Korean directors. Soon, predictions began to pile up.
‘As expected, it would be better to stick to Corporal Jin Seon-cheol from the early to mid-aughts.’
It was about the role played by Kang Woo-jin. From the beginning of the ‘Island of the Missing’ scenario, director Kwon Ki-taek placed importance on the character of ‘Corporal Jin Seon-cheol’. This was because he took charge of each character’s conflict and the tension of the play.
This was around the time when director Kwon Ki-taek was busy thinking about it.
“Carefully!! hey! Don’t be too upset just because it’s over! Do you know how much it costs?!!”
“sorry!”
“I’ll organize the props!”
“Film crew! “The rails are being withdrawn??!”
About 100 staff left their joy behind and began cleaning up the filming site. At this time, Ryu Jung-min, still wearing his military uniform, approached Director Kwon Ki-taek. Perhaps because he was tall, the military uniform suited him very well.
“Director.”
Director Kwon Ki-taek, who had been quietly staring at the monitor, turned his head to see his popularity.
“Um, okay. “You’ve worked hard, Jeongmin.”
Short-haired Ryu Jeong-min smiled slightly and lowered his head.
“Thank you for your hard work, Director.”
“haha. “The real trouble begins now.”
Director Kwon Ki-taek, who was quietly laughing, folded his arms and cleaned up after himself, looking at the hectic scene.
“Anyway, I feel a little lonely. “When I started, there were a lot of actors.”
Currently, the remaining actors in ‘Island of the Missing’ are Ryu Jeong-min and Hayura, as well as supporting roles and a few assistant and minor roles. The rest of the main actors, like Kang Woo-jin, left after their filming schedule ended. In response, Ryu Jung-min massaged Director Kwon Ki-taek’s shoulder as if to cheer him up.
“Well, it would have been a little more noisy if everyone had been there. “I always feel this way, but after a movie ends, I feel a bit lethargic.”
“I guess it’s even more so because you came over right after Hanryang ended. So what did you gain from ‘Island of the Missing’? “There was also a purpose other than filming, to find limits.”
This was also a story that included Kang Woo-jin. The inner meaning that Ryu Jung-min had before joining ‘Island of the Missing’.
“Director, I cannot express my dual personality with just my eyes and facial expressions.”
“is it?”
“Not yet. It’s impossible to chase a monster that expresses its emotions just by attaching it to its face. “Now I know.”
“I get it?”
Ryu Jung-min, who made eye contact with director Kwon Ki-taek, recalled Kang Woo-jin’s acting he saw in ‘Island of the Missing’.
“Mr. Kang Woo-jin is a different individual. “It’s the same actor, but the essence itself is…”
Ryu Jeong-min trailed off. Perhaps they want to express new humanity or uniqueness. Director Kwon Ki-taek, who fully understood, stood up quickly.
“You are a weirdo enough. “Woojin just exists.”
Changed the subject.
“I’m guessing that ‘Island of the Missing’ will be released in May.”
“May – it’s spring.”
Director Kwon Ki-taek smiled warmly and showed his thumb to Ryu Jeong-min.
“Get some rest and take care of your skin. I’ll get busy.”
after.
When ‘Island of the Missing’ was in full swing, an entertainment program was on the lips of the public gathered in numerous companies, cafes, etc. in Korea.
“Eh? Haven’t you seen ‘Our Table’??”
“Yes, not yet. Originally, I didn’t watch PD Yoon Byung-seon’s entertainment shows. But is it that fun? “Everyone is talking about that.”
“It’s so much fun, isn’t it? Try taking a quick video on YouTube! “It’s going to fall right away?”
It was PD Yoon Byung-seon’s ‘Our Table’.
“They didn’t get that viewership rating for nothing?? Jonjamjonjam. “It’s been a long time since I last saw a variety show!”
“Kang Woo-jin is also there, right? How is he?”
“……Ah, Kang Woo-jin is the key there. I’m really crazy about cooking. To be honest, I didn’t really like Kang Woo-jin, but this time I watched ‘Our Table’ and did a lot of searching. “I started cheating.”
It was like that not just today, but the day after ‘Our Table’ aired. This is true for movies and dramas, but the response to entertainment shows was especially strong because it is content that is familiar to the public.
Therefore, various domestic media outlets had no choice but to make a fuss about ‘our table’.
『’As expected, PD Yoon”s presence explodes in the stagnant entertainment world with ‘Our Table’ reaching a viewership rating of 15.6%!』
『How long has it been since there was an entertainment show with a viewership rating of over 15%? ‘Our Table’ members, including Kang Woo-jin, exploded with momentum』 The
fact that the new entertainment show of PD Yoon, the godfather of the entertainment world, set a record of more than 15% also played a role.
『Kang Woo-jin from ‘Our Table”s high-level cooking skills are enough to confuse even a real chef?』 『
[Star Talk] What can’t Kang Woo-jin from ‘Our Table’ do? Before heading to the U.S., netizens say, “Please give me the first episode quickly!” Outcry 』
However, it was not a record made solely for the sake of the names of the performers such as Byung-seon Yoon and PD Woo-jin Kang. Even the content of ‘Our Table’ was solid. It gives the public not only enjoyment but also explosive anticipation that will keep them waiting for a whole week.
『What does the ‘Kimjaban Makguksu’ that appeared in Kang Woo-jin’s original dish ‘Our Table’ spread on social media taste like?』 With the water
gushing in like this, Producer Byung-seon Yoon had no intention of staying still. The ‘Our Table’ team mobilized all channels and put all their effort into promoting it. YouTube was flooded with edited videos of episode 0, which first aired the previous week, and trailers for episode 1, which were to be released this week, were being released like crazy.
The trailer shows the members of ‘Our Table’ operating a food truck in earnest in the United States.
The appearance of LA’s Michelang 1-star chef was a bonus.
All videos uploaded by ‘Our Table’ had a base view count of 100,000, and the highest view count was 1 million.
-Ha…I want to see you quickly…Time flies so fast…When do you retire?ㅠㅠㅠㅜㅜㅠ
-Ah!! Please watch the main story, not the trailer!! Give! now!!
– Haha, it starts with a food truck haha. I’m curious about Americans’ reaction. Haha
– Kang Woojin is confirmed to be the main chef??? What if Americans spit out that it doesn’t taste good???
-It’s really cool because top actors in Korea are going to America to cook lol -What
is a Michelin one-star chef?? Did the production team invite you???
– Haha, no, the one-star Michelin chef from the mainland of the United States ate Kang Woo-jin’s dish haha
– Lee Sang-man: It’s going to blow, the bucket of money is going to blow
.
.
.
.
Well, of course, the ‘our table’ issue wasn’t the only issue popping up on the Internet. Because there was so much food to use, the domestic media was busy picking up what they wanted.
『’I will conquer it with Japanese acting’ Kang Woo-jin begins filming ‘Familiar Parasite’ in Japan. Eyewitness accounts appear one after another on Japanese social media』
Just like that, the 21st came to an end and Friday the 22nd dawned. It was the film industry that caught the public’s attention from the morning.
-Oh hahaha I heard filming for Island of the Missing is over??? hahaha It ended sooner than expected and
the news of ‘Island of the Missing’ cranking up spread.
『Master Director Kwon Ki-taek’s ‘Island of the Missing’ cranked up yesterday! When will it be released?』
『[Movie IS] Officials of ‘Island of the Missing’, who announced the end of filming, “It is not confirmed, but it is expected to be released around May.”』 It
was a new film by director Kwon Ki-taek, considered the best among the greats, and many top actors such as Ryu Jung-min and Kang Woo-jin appeared. Because it was a work of art, expectations were high. Be it the industry or public opinion.
『Will ‘Island of the Missing’, with its great directors and top actors, be a success? Will it fail?
Meanwhile, even while Kang Woo-jin was in Japan, things related to him were progressing steadily. Producer Song Man-woo of ‘Beneficial Evil’ attended a script meeting with writer Nana Choi.
“Writer, I think it’s okay to go a little more extreme here, or something like a nopaku.”
“Is that so?? “I thought you were being too excited.”
“It’s okay, just try it first.”
The pre-production stage was being completed quickly through repeated production meetings with the key staff. But it wasn’t urgent. Because the total production cost was so large, there was a need to be meticulous.
Then, in the late afternoon of the same day, on the public broadcaster KBC, the drama that Kang Woo-jin had passed by was coming to an end.
-[Freezing Love]
-[Last Episode]
It was star writer Lee Wol-seon’s ‘Freezing Love’. Woojin only appeared in the first 1 and 2 episodes, but he also appeared in the last episode that aired today. It wasn’t that long. However, his appearance caused an uproar in various communities.
-ㅠㅠㅠㅠIs anyone watching the last episode of Love that Freezes to Death?? Kang Woo-jin appears ㅠㅜㅜ I’m so touched… Kang Woo-jin appears and really brings out the steamy feeling…
For reference, ‘Frozen Love’ had a viewership rating of about 10% until the last episode. The grades were decent enough, but since Lee Wol-seon is such a star writer, it was not uncommon to see articles criticizing his work.
『Star writer Lee Wol-seon’s ‘Freezing Love’ ended with an average viewership rating of around 10%, disappointing results』
However, the production team and actors of writer Lee Wol-seon’s ‘Freezing Love’ seemed satisfied.
『Writer Lee Wol-seon “I learned a lot from this happy work. I am grateful to the production team, actors, and Kang Woo-jin.”』
Whatever it was, even though Kang Woo-jin is not currently in Korea, his name was mentioned endlessly. The finale was around the time the last episode of ‘Freezing Love’ ended.
A piece of news was delivered to several top actors.
For example, Jin Jae-jun from ‘Drug Dealer’.
“Jaejun! It’s up! ‘Leech’ just sent me audition information!!”
“oh! really?”
The official audition date for director Ahn Ga-bok’s ‘Leech’, a veteran or young talent, has been confirmed. Even though ‘Leech’ side filtered and filtered many top actors, many top actors participated in the audition.
the problem is.
“Oh! The audition is a designated performance – again, director Ga-bok Ahn, sunbaenim Shin Shim-ho, and…huh? “Kang Woo-jin?”
“Woojin? “What about Woojin?”
“No…I heard Kang Woo-jin will be at the audition? Is this right??”
“Woojin…is he going to be there?”
The audition information distributed said that Kang Woo-jin was included as a judge.
“Uh oh. E-No way. I guess the ‘Leech’ side was confused. “No matter how much director Ang Bok is, I can’t believe he would have selected Kang Woo-jin as a judge when all the top actors were auditioning.”
“…No, it’s probably real. “It’s an audition, but you probably have a strong personality that just looks at your form.”
“Even though! You’re Jin Jaejun! “Even if Kang Woo-jin is a nuclear bomb right now, how can you audition in front of him!”
“Isn’t Director Ahn trying to see that?”
Thanks to this, many top actors and A-list actors who checked the audition information for ‘Leech’ were in an uproar.
“Go Kang Woo-jin??!” “Kang Woo-jin is really involved in the judging??!”
“phone call! “Call me!”
The reactions were varied.
“Mr. What the hell! No, isn’t that too harsh? I’m also annoyed that they’re asking me to audition for a top class class! what? Kang Woo-jin??”
“I see…this is a bit misleading.”
A place where you think it is an error, a place where you have doubts, a place where you complain, a place where you give up, etc.
But definitely.
“…Are you going to be okay? “I wonder if I can audition in front of someone who is much younger than me.”
“Yes, it doesn’t matter.”
“I figured it out later.”
At this point, the actors’ positions were completely divided. Those who want to challenge and those who want to ignore. Of course, there were more people who ignored it.
“Pass, pass! This isn’t real! “Director Ahn’s works aren’t the only ones in the world!”
“Yes, yes. How great is Kang Woo-jin? “You have to do it in moderation.”
“I don’t know if I’ve taken over the world, but I’m auditioning in front of a kid whose number of works is much lower than mine!”
In any case, it was an issue that shook the domestic actor community.
The next day, Saturday the 23rd. Tokyo, Japan.
A late morning. A high school in Tokyo. It was currently the end of vacation, so there were no students to be seen at all. However, for some reason, a crowd of close to a hundred people had gathered at the playground in front of the school. There were various filming devices lined up there, including cameras, lighting, and audio equipment.
The reason was simple.
Because they were the filming team for ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’. After finishing the schedule at ‘Inefunaya’ village, which was the first filming location, we moved over to this outdoor filming location. Although it was tight, it was an ‘unfamiliar’ team that somehow made it through. At this school, all past scenes that would lead to the ‘Familiar Gisaeng’ incident were scheduled to be filmed.
The death of Kiyoshi no Ijimena Misaki Toka. And everyone’s childhood.
“rail! I’ll start by laying the playground here! Next is the classroom!”
“We will pile up trash behind the school!!”
“Were school uniforms provided to the actors?!”
“yes! “I paid in full!!”
“Camera test! one two!”
Therefore, all the main actors appearing in ‘The Stranger’ were scheduled to arrive at this school. There are roughly over fifteen people. Standby time is around noon. It was currently 11 am, so not all of the actors had arrived.
Among the many tents set up in the playground, about five actors were seen in the actors’ waiting tent.
Yasuta, who will soon leave, and Nakajo Kimi, an adult actress who plays the role of Toka Misaki, are two supporting actors. And it was Kang Woo-jin who became a popular star among the entire ‘Familiar’ team. Woojin is currently maintaining his poker face.
“……”
He sits silently. But I wasn’t alone. Because the handsome Yasta was next to him, chatting away.
“Woojin, oh my god. YouTube subscribers are over 10 million? “How did you do it??”
“I just do it as a hobby.”
“Ehh?? What a hobby. This doesn’t make sense. You can stop being an actor and just start YouTube! Oh, but you really shouldn’t quit. “I became Woojin’s fan.”
“Is that so?”
“of course! So, Mr. Woojin. Should we follow each other on Instagram? “Because it’s good to become friends.”
“Of course.”
Woojin was honestly a bit bothered. Ha – he was the noisier type than I thought. Her personality slightly resembles her younger sister, Kang Hyun-ah. Meanwhile, newcomer Nakajo Kimi, who played ‘Misaki Toka’, was also very interested in Kang Woo-jin.
‘Can I talk to you? ‘You’ll think it’s strange, right?’
However, he could only glance and take no action. At this time, some of the ‘unfamiliar’ staff members who were busy like crazy outside the tent were expressing their doubts.
Because I saw foreigners who weren’t originally at the scene.
“Which team are those foreigners on?”
“So, it’s my first time seeing this too. “Were you at the filming yesterday?”
“There wasn’t one, right? what.”
“Looking at you talking to the director – ah, aren’t you from the special effects team or the VFX team?”
“But why aren’t you doing anything?”
The group of foreigners who suddenly appeared consisted of five people, including a woman with short brown hair, a man with short orange hair, and a fat man. After a brief talk with director Kyotaro, they only talked to each other and did not get involved in the filming set-up.
A pony-haired man looks at them closely.
“Seup- Where have I seen them before? Especially that brown bob. is not it?”
It was Choi Seong-gun with his arms folded in front of the tent of actors and staff. Today, he was scheduled to return to Korea due to work overlapping there, and was just coming to check on the site for a moment. In that gap, I saw a group of foreigners. But that foreign woman looked particularly familiar.
“I’m sure it’s the same face I saw, but I can’t remember it.”
It was at this time.
“CEO.”
Han Ye-jeong, the head stylist with blue bob hair, came out of the tent and spoke to Choi Seong-geon. It’s a little urgent.
“Have you seen this?”
Choi Seong-geon soon took his eyes off the foreigners and turned his head.
“uh? what?”
“I just saw this while monitoring YouTube.”
As she explained, she operated her cell phone and held it out to Choi Seong-gun. A YouTube video was being displayed on Han Ye-jeong’s cell phone. It’s been about 30 minutes since it was uploaded.
-【Exclusive scoop!!】Kang Woo-jin, the sensational actor!! He has already secretly received a screen test for a Hollywood movie?! Entering Hollywood is just around the corner! (Conclusive evidence obtained!)｜Fact Guys
Choi Seong-gun’s brow furrowed when he saw the video title. The reason was simple.
“…What is this? “Why and how did this pop up?”
Because a top secret that no one should know has been revealed to the world. Even just 30 minutes after it was uploaded, the number of views was already over 400,000.
– With 410,000 views,
the comments were already crazy and saturated.
