I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 227
I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 227
(Sacrifice (8))
Han Ye-jeong’s cell phone screen. No, to be more precise, the ponytail Choi Seong-geon’s head immediately became confused in the YouTube video displayed on the screen.
-【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
– 410,000 views
It’s only been uploaded for an hour, but the number of views has already exceeded 400,000. Why is this? How on earth did it pop up? Both Kang Woo-jin and Choi Seong-geon had forgotten about this matter. However, it was suddenly revealed to the surface. At this time, Han Ye-jeong asked in her characteristic cold tone.
“Isn’t this just a sting?”
For your information, very few people knew about the ‘Last Kill 3’ screen test. At best, it would be about Kang Woo-jin, Choi Seong-geon, and the two interpreters who accompanied us at the time. Most of Han Ye-jeong and Woo-jin’s team were unaware of this fact.
It was kept secret anyway and it was a good thing at the time that few people knew about it.
“……”
Whatever it was, Seong-geon Choi didn’t answer in particular, but took out his cell phone and accessed YouTube. Of course, what I searched for was the video I just watched. The channel size of the YouTuber who uploaded it was also significant. Has 1.95 million subscribers. As I watched the videos, there was a strong feeling of jumbled fish. They seem to upload anything that might attract attention, such as posting news containing issues or reporting incidents.
Although the video upload period was not long, the number of views for each video was very high. The default is 500,000 to 1 million.
soon.
-Sigh.
Choi Seong-gun touched the playback of the Kang Woo-jin video uploaded an hour ago with a serious face. The video naturally played on his cell phone, and Han Ye-jeong chanted it again.
“But it’s a bit strange for a chit.”
“what.”
“Should I say the content is a bit detailed? In addition, a photo of Woojin oppa at a production company in LA was also included. “Because it doesn’t seem synthetic.”
It actually did. The video started with a photo of Woojin inside a Hollywood production company. It was a bonus that there were many foreign staff. Below it, there is a subtitle that reads ‘Winner Movie Pictures.’ Then the screen changed and a man wearing a wolf mask made a comment.
[“We have exclusively learned that actor Kang Woo-jin, who took the Korean entertainment industry by storm just one year after his debut, even conducted a screen test for a Hollywood movie. According to the information received, it seems that Kang Woo-jin did not make the first move, but rather a Hollywood film official contacted Kang Woo-jin.”]
Choi Seong-gun, who was watching the video.
‘Huh-what kind of information did you really get?’
I decided that this YouTuber didn’t just film the video with his wild imagination.
[“Winner Movie Pictures,” a film company that Woojin Kang contacted, is a medium-sized company or larger in Hollywood. It’s a rough place for many Hollywood stars, and they’re currently filming several projects. The ‘screen test’ mentioned in the video is similar to an audition, but has a slightly different nature. The road to this screen test in Hollywood is very difficult as it is a process just before formal casting.”] [
“There are many famous top Korean actors who have challenged themselves in Hollywood. But they all fail the screen test and return. The number of top actors from Korea who have entered Hollywood is rare. However, given that Kang Woo-jin has received direct contact from Hollywood and has even completed a screen test, it appears that his entry into Hollywood is imminent. This is the first time for an actor who has only been in his first year, and it is an almost absurd situation.”]
Later, this YouTuber called ‘Fact Guys’ said that the reason Kang Woo-jin has not made an announcement yet is that he is keeping his entry into Hollywood a secret or has turned it down due to his intense schedule. added. However, he did not seem to know the title of the movie ‘Last Kill 3’. Still, it was clear that most of the comments were based on facts rather than speculation.
The comments were crazy.
-Whoa, I’m going crazy
– Wow…. Real True?? So, is Kang Woo-jin really a Hollywood sensation just one year after his debut? Hahahahahaha
– 100% bullshit
– Isn’t there a bit of evidence to make it sound like bullshit? Anyone who looks at that photo can tell it’s Hollywood hahahaha
– Wow!!! Hollywood!! Kang Woo-jin Wolcle!!! Gukppong gauge is full!!!
-This is such a bittersweet sound… If you buy Winner Movie, you are a mid-level person in Hollywood. LOL They say they hire a Korean actor who has only been in his first year????
-ㄷㄷㄷ Kang Woo-jin is really in form
.
.
.
.
In addition to the commonly called ‘gukppong’, the overall reaction is close to cheering. Of course, there are quite a few comments asking if it makes sense. Anyway, Choi Seong-geon quickly accessed the portal site and checked to see if any articles related to the video had appeared.
‘Not yet?’
Perhaps because the video was uploaded not long ago, there were no articles that stood out right away. But it was only a matter of time. It was Kang Woo-jin’s scoop, not another actor.
It was obvious that this news would quickly turn the country upside down.
About that time.
“CEO.”
Han Ye-jeong asked Choi Seong-geon again.
“Is there any problem?”
It wasn’t noticeable, but I was worried. Choi Seong-geon, who was scratching his tail, lowered his cell phone and responded.
“no. There’s no problem. “Regardless of whether this video is true or not, honestly, it’s beneficial to Woojin.”
It was referring to the increase in the brand value of Kang Woo-jin. Woojin was already living with ultra-level issues, and there were many big names around him. Meanwhile, if it is related to Hollywood, the current aura will be doubled.
‘It might be annoying if we leaked it, but you’re innocent, right?’
There was no way that calm Kang Woo-jin would have done something like this. Choi Seong-geon then gave instructions to Han Ye-jeong. Tell the teams to keep quiet about this video. Even though I didn’t know anything, I was told not to say anything to the outside world. Of course, Choi Seong-gun, who immediately called BW Entertainment, said something similar.
bw Enter, just shut your mouth.
At this time, Choi Seong-geon’s cell phone began to emit a long vibration. He was the editor-in-chief of a media company. Slowly, the domestic media caught wind of it. However, Woojin, who ignored the phone call, walked past the busy ‘Unfamiliar’ staff and entered the tent where the main actors were gathered. The number of actors who arrived increased in a short period of time.
Woojin was talking briefly with them with a silent expression.
“Woojin.”
Choi Seong-gun, who had called Kang Woo-jin in a whisper, motioned for him to come out. Woojin indifferently followed the CEO and asked lowly.
“What’s wrong?”
After taking a few steps away from the tent, Choi Seong-gun looked around and showed Woojin his cell phone.
“Watch this video first.”
After a while.
While dozens of ‘unfamiliar’ staff members were running around the school playground, Kang Woo-jin, who was standing at the end of a large tent set up in succession, took down Choi Seong-geon’s cell phone.
He also watched the ‘Fact Guys’ video to the end.
Of course, I also checked the comments. Woojin’s expression as he returned the cell phone to Choi Seong-gun was cynical. But inside, I was quite surprised.
‘What is this? How did this YouTuber know this?? I’ve never talked about where I went. So what did that Hollywood production company spread? Is it top secret?’
No, it’s close to absurdity. During the screen test, there was a lot of fuss telling me to keep quiet like that. Here, Woojin asked Choi Seong-geon of the long padding in front of him, just in case.
“Could this be the CEO?”
“Not me. “You probably don’t either.”
“Is that so?”
If not both, where is the source? Then what does it matter to Kang Woo-jin? I turned around with the same mindset. It wasn’t a concept. This was Kang Woo-jin’s original self. The sentiment of laziness has been triggered.
“Then you don’t have to worry too much?”
“Ah, well, that’s true. “I’m just trying to understand the context.”
“If it’s not us, it’s probably that Hollywood film company.”
“‘Winner Movie Pictures’? You won’t gain anything…but aren’t you too carefree? “You’re making me feel cold.”
“If there is no problem, just ignore it.”
“Okay, okay. An hour instead? Maybe sooner. “Korea is going to make a huge fuss over this.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
What is it? I already finished ‘Last Kill 3’ anyway. While working in the entertainment industry, Woojin realized one thing related to the media. There was no point in responding, so silence was the only answer.
It was then.
‘Eh?’
Among the ‘Strange Strangers’ staff, a group of foreigners standing on one side of the playground caught Kang Woo-jin’s eye. To be clear, one of them was a woman with short brown hair. Because it was definitely a woman I knew. Soon Woojin lifted his index finger and took a picture of her.
“That woman-” Choi
Seong-geon, who had already thought he had seen it somewhere, immediately agreed.
“uh. I saw it today and it suddenly appeared. “I saw this face somewhere before… do you know?”
“It was during the screen test for ‘Last Kill 3.’”
“ah.”
“You said you were the casting director. “I remember him talking to me at the end of the test.”
At that moment, a light bulb went on in Choi Seong-geon’s head.
“That’s right. I saw it there. To be exact, it would be a caddy from ‘Winner Movie Pictures’. “I answered the phone, but I only saw his face for a short time, so my memory is vague.”
“But why is that woman here?”
“I doubt it. “Why do people in Hollywood go all the way to Japan? But is it a coincidence that they were here when the video of your screen test appeared?”
Is it strange? Coincidentally, don’t the lower legs fit too tightly? Woojin muttered to himself, looked at the group of foreigners, and then suddenly took a step. He heard Choi Seong-gun asking where he was going from behind, but Kang Woo-jin didn’t stop.
What is it? In times like this, it’s best to just ask outright. Long strides. To put it in layman’s terms, it’s a quick step.
This too was more of Kang Woo-jin himself rather than acting strong.
like that.
-Sigh.
Kang Woo-jin with a poker face passed dozens of staff and arrived in front of a group of foreigners, and a group of foreigners who felt popular spotted Woo-jin standing a short distance away. It was almost a surprise, but it was a foreign woman with short brown hair. No, caddy Megan Stone showed a relaxed smile.
“Oh, Kang Woo-jin? nice to meet you. “I knew you were here, but I wasn’t quick to say hello.”
Woojin also greeted the spoken English indifferently.
“hello.”
Soon, the ‘unfamiliar’ staff around him glanced at Kang Woo-jin. Seeing that, Megan Stone came a little closer to Woojin and spoke lowly.
“I don’t want anyone to know about our relationship, so why don’t we talk about it separately later?”
“You are the one who came here.”
“Yes. I have a connection with the director here. I came to Japan for work and while I was here, I visited the director’s set once. “Of course, I knew Woojin was there.”
okay? Well, that’s it. Woojin picked up his cell phone and showed it to her.
“This is a video that just appeared on YouTube in Korea.”
He then explained in a low tone.
“It contains information about what I saw in the screen test for ‘Last Kill 3.’ Did you tell them about it? “I heard it was confidential.”
The eyes of foreigners around me suddenly widened as they listened to my fluent English. Megan Stone was especially harsh.
“…This video is publicizing that issue?”
“yes.”
“That can’t be possible.”
“Isn’t that one too?”
“No, not at all.”
Megan Stone, clearly embarrassed, was talking to her team members and then made a phone call somewhere. Something seems a bit urgent. Woojin, wondering what was going on, looked at her in silence and then turned around. Choi Seong-geon was standing a few steps behind.
“what.”
Kang Woo-jin’s answer was low and simple.
“I think we can just ignore it.”
Around here in LA.
It was morning in Japan, but it was afternoon here. The location is Hollywood, LA. Among them, it is a place where there is a large film studio. It was huge, more like an amusement park than a movie studio. Because not only the company but also a huge set was built inside.
There is a black van standing at the entrance to the film studio.
Then, a man who passed through the entrance catches the eye. Black and tall, almost like a giant. Solid body. It was Joseph Felton, a famous Hollywood producer. When he finished his work, he got into the waiting van.
The car leaves immediately.
There were about four or five people inside the van, and a bald-headed foreigner who was Joseph’s subordinate reported to Joseph Felton, who was holding a tablet.
“A video of Kang Woo-jin appeared in Joseph Korea. “About an hour ago.”
Joseph, smiling slightly, nodded.
“It’s later than expected, but the timing isn’t bad. contents is?”
“I’m sure I’ll have to translate it, but it includes most of the information we sent. By the way – Joseph. “Is it okay to do this?”
“what?”
“I heard it was a top secret matter.”
Joseph chuckles.
“There are no secrets in Hollywood. It’s just a time difference. “Either use it or be used.”
“……”
“A certain actor was cast. I carefully watched the screen test. Well, that’s not even top secret. Even now, it explodes from time to time. It’s just that director George Mendes and ‘Last Kill 3’ were so proud that they made such a fuss. But as a producer, I thought it would be much more beneficial to reveal the matter.”
“What are the benefits?”
Joseph, with his arms crossed, answered simply.
“Korea is a cultural powerhouse that cannot be ignored. There is even talk of making a Hollywood movie in Korea first. By raising awareness of ‘Last Kill 3′, Kang Woo-jin’s power was also increased. “Because things like this are useful for raising the ransom.”
The bald-headed foreigner who was listening to the explanation scratched his chin.
“Kang Woo-jin – why are you taking care of that?”
Joseph Felton shrugged.
“Preliminary work in preparation for meeting him again.”
He picked up the tablet again and muttered.
“We are preparing a route to Hollywood in advance, just in case.”
Back to Japan around early lunch on the same day.
It takes a very long time for the ‘Stranger’ filming team, which has taken root in a high school, to prepare. There was a problem with the filming team’s equipment in the beginning, and now Director Kyotaro’s direction has taken a little longer. Thanks to this, there was a delay of about an hour.
Anyway, Director Kyotaro went around each filming location, called in the necessary actors, and conducted preliminary rehearsals.
Dialogue movement, direction, camera composition, etc.
However, since this was the first time Kang Woo-jin was called, he was currently sitting alone in the tent. All I had to do was turn it on as soon as standby came up.
“Hmm-”
Woojin was watching the media situation in Korea on his cell phone with his legs crossed.
‘The article is as expected. If I get too greedy, will I get angry? Oh my – trash. Are you excited?’
As expected, the reporters who discovered Kang Woo-jin’s entry into Hollywood were excitedly publishing articles, and numerous calls were arriving on Woo-jin’s cell phone. On the other hand, one side was still quiet. Megan Stone, the caddy we saw earlier, looked like she was going to leave after talking with Seong-gun Choi, but stayed behind at the scene.
Whatever you do or don’t do, you’ll figure it out.
Woojin stopped thinking and put down his cell phone, which was noisy even in the group chat room. The tent was a bit quiet without all the actors. Since there was no one around, he took a moment to relax and yawned.
Following.
‘Hmm – I guess I’ll have to suck some honey in the subspace.’
Kang Woo-jin picks up the ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’ scenario on the desk next to him. Of course, it was to stab the black square attached to the scenario.
-Hook.
The subspace I entered to rest was, as always, endless darkness. But for Kang Woo-jin, it is no different from home. Soon, Woojin stretched out and walked toward the place where the white squares were listed. I was wondering if anything had changed in my grade before taking a break.
Fortunately, it stayed the same.
Woojin, who had been looking at the works and grades written on the white square for a moment, suddenly lay down. I can’t sleep, but I can rest. Woojin, lying down in subspace, falls into meditation. Naturally, I thought of the roles in the works I had already filmed that I needed to film. From ‘crime bureau’ to today’s ‘unfamiliar parasites’ or ‘leeches’, etc.
Then suddenly.
“Hmm – I wonder if it’s possible to mix the imprinted roles together?”
Kang Woo-jin muttered to himself without thinking. It started from simple curiosity. What would it be like if the roles were purely combined, rather than a world of roles?
Are you going to look like a total idiot?
It was at this time. Suddenly, a robot-like female voice spoke.
[“Acquire understanding of role composition”]
