I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 240

I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 240

(Tsunami (7))

The ‘Beneficial Evil’ team’s eyes changed slightly at the suggestion of General Director Kim So-hyang. However, PD Song Man-woo’s attitude and eyes when looking at Kim So-hyang remained serious. He was a drama giant. There was no way I would be swayed by a suggestion like this.

‘Well, this is my first time watching Netflix.’

As producer Song Man-woo had been affiliated with the broadcasting station for a long time, this was the first time that an external platform had been explicitly attached. However, Netflix was also expected as there had already been contact from other OTT platforms. Anyway, PD Song Man-woo is currently free.

It didn’t matter whether it was a broadcasting station or Netflix.

What matters is the conditions.

Soon producer Song Man-woo spoke with a small smile.

“Thank you for the suggestion, General Director. “You’re getting straight to the point haha.”

Kim So-hyang also showed a relaxed smile.

“We know we are the last. However, I moved right away after hearing the news. “We had a lot of meetings internally to present attractive conditions to the PD.”

“okay. “I was just about to decide on my destination.”

“I expected it, but after reading the script and synopsis for the first part of ‘Beneficial Evil,’ I became even more greedy. Oh, you haven’t announced the title ‘Beneficial Evil’ to the outside world yet, right?”

“Yes, we are looking at the timing to announce the opening destination.”

Kim So-hyang nodded and received a transparent file from the team leader sitting next to her. And then he opened his mouth again.

“I’ll be honest with you. Hanryang achieved very good results in Japan even though our Netflix was second. It continues to remain at the top even now. Producer Song Man-woo created it, and writer Choi Nana wrote it. “Writer Nana Choi has already clearly demonstrated her abilities through ‘Male Friend.’”

“I know very well, you are currently writing a manuscript with great quality.”

“Just seeing the two of you like this is enough. But when I heard that actor Kang Woo-jin had joined, I couldn’t bear it. “I thought I had to catch this at all costs.”

It was similar not only to General Director Kim So-hyang but also to all places, including the broadcasting station where I had met with Producer Song Man-woo. After the news that Kang Woo-jin was added to ‘Beneficial Evil’ broke out, producer Song Man-woo’s cell phone rang non-stop.

Anyway, Kim So-hyang.

“Of course, the content of the script and synopsis also encouraged my greed. It was ridiculously fun. I wanted to see the script for episode 2 right away. Moreover, the cool and exciting action is sophisticated and the story is full. The charm of Korean design and art also stood out.”

I pushed the transparent file to producer Song Man-woo.

“This work is a collaboration between the three of us, so it will definitely achieve amazing results in Korea. However, PD, in my eyes, ‘Beneficial Evil’ seems highly likely to be a hit worldwide. Even domestic writers can feel it. “Why don’t you take a look at our conditions and try the world?”

Producer Song Man-woo unfolds the transparent file held out. Although it is impossible to understand the whole thing right away, there were considerable conditions at stake.

‘As expected, the sincerity can be seen in the conditions.’

Although it does not stand out by far compared to the conditions of broadcasting stations, there are still many aspects that exceed it. This was especially true for the financial items. At this point, Sohyang Kim gave the briefing again.

“The Korean Wave is gaining strength, but globally, KPOP is strong and K-content is not yet noticeable. Of course, PDs also have risks. However, the PD has already achieved great success in Korea, and despite my shortcomings, I think he will soon get tired of it. “It was my first work after becoming independent.”

“……”

“Kang Woo-jin, who will play the lead role, is also continuing to expand his reach overseas. “Recently, there was news of a love call from Hollywood between director Gabok Ang and Khan.”

Kim So-hyang put strength into her voice.

“I think ‘beneficial evil’ can turn the world upside down, PD.”

These words touched Producer Song Man-woo’s heartstrings. No, more accurately, it reminded me even more. Instigated.

‘It’s a world – I thought I should try it at least once before I fall behind.’

This was originally the goal that producer Song Man-woo had. In Korean dramas, he is called a big name, but in reality, producer Song Man-woo himself felt a bit lacking. Of course, when a work explodes in Korea, joy spreads. But sometimes I felt like I was trapped in a well.

Producer Song Man-woo was crazy about directing and would pour his soul into producing a drama.

I’ve been thinking that way for some time. Will my directing work outside of Korea? Do they find our work interesting?

Should I stay here?

‘Maybe now is the time to procrastinate.’

In fact, if the future of ‘Beneficial Evil’ was to be overseas, Netflix was the perfect destination. Producer Song Man-woo seemed greedy, so he wanted to hold a meeting immediately about global launch. However, in this case, the life of ‘beneficial evil’ was at stake.

‘Of course, author Nana Choi.’

There were at least two people who needed permission.

‘Gangtotem. No, you have to listen to Woojin’s thoughts.’

A few minutes later, we returned to the small theater where the ‘Leech’ audition was held.

Approximately 30 people gathered in the small theater. What’s interesting is that their current atmosphere has become heavier than at first. The air throughout the small theater is also hot. It wasn’t because the heater was turned on too strongly.

It was because of the acting of the two actors on stage.

Kang Woo-jin, who is possessed by Park Ha-seong, and Yoon Ja-ho, who meekly accepts Park Ha-seong. No, Jin Jae-jun. The intensity of the acting between the two actors was intense, and the energy emitted shocked everyone in the small theater.

The same was true for those who saw it not only with their eyes, but also through angles.

Cameras placed in front and on both sides of the stage.

A cinematographer who watches the actors’ performances through the camera.

‘……That’s audition acting quality?’

He, who has a pot-bellied stomach, has already been working in director Anga Bok’s division for more than 10 years. I worked in many works and experienced many actors. All were taken with his camera. But now, for the first time, the cinematographer’s entire body was electric.

Should I say thrill?

The cinematographer was also well aware of the ‘Leech’ scenario. No, it’s the same for all keytaps. Therefore, each person imagines and builds a world of ‘leeches’ in their respective areas. In particular, the cinematographer spends a lot of time planning the storyboard together with director Angabok.

But now, the reality of ‘leeches’ is being portrayed before our eyes.

‘It’s probably the first time for both actors to do this scene – especially Kang Woo-jin… he’s really crazy.’

The first moment when part of the world of ‘Leech’ was realized. Thanks to this, it was a first for the cinematographer, director Ahn Ga-bok, Shim Shin-ho, and the rest of the key staff. However, Kang Woo-jin and Jin Jae-jun expressed that unfamiliar world without any sense of heterogeneity.

Of course, it was Kang Woo-jin who held the brush and painted. At least that was the case in the eyes of the cinematographer.

‘No – is it possible to suddenly show that Ripley syndrome without any emotions??’

Ripley syndrome was the core and everything of the character Park Ha-seong, and it builds up step by step throughout the ‘Leech’ scenario. Mint Ha’s character gradually deteriorates. In other words, it is not a feeling that can be shown so suddenly.

However, it was clear that Kang Woo-jin had been living as Park Ha-seong for the past few months.

‘It’s not that I’m good at acting… I feel like it lacks the mint character I imagined.’

It was at this time.

-Sigh.

While the actors were acting, director Ahn Ga-bok, who was at the judges’ table, approached the cinematographer.

“……”

He had a very stern face and didn’t say anything to the cinematographer. Just look at the monitor attached to the camera. There was not even a movement behind it.

This movement brought the heads of the departments who had been watching the acting out of their minds to their senses.

‘Moderately?! That? I think I heard you say it’s done in moderation.

‘theater. It’s not an audition…it’s just a play, right?’

‘It wasn’t for no reason that Kang Woo-jin was called an acting monster.’

‘What is the audition hurdle… survive through that gap??’

It was then.

“Cut.”

Director Ang Bok, who was in front of the camera, gave a signal and then made an old voice.

“Let’s go back to the beginning.”

Re-action request. It wasn’t because Kang Woo-jin and Jin Jae-jun’s acting was lacking. Director Ang Bok wanted to see those actors with a camera, not with his own eyes. Woojin and Jin Jaejun, who soon stop acting, move to the beginning of the scene.

Meanwhile, director Anga Bok.

‘……Kang Woo-jin.’

I was looking at Woojin, who was putting the chair he was sitting on back in its place.

‘I understand Director Kwon’s feelings.’

The gaze is bright.

‘How could any director not feel excited when what he created runs rampant in reality?’

Meanwhile, Kang Woo-jin, who had just lowered his chair, was thinking about something else. The concern was about a role other than Park Ha-seong.

‘Chairman Yoon Jeong-bae is a bit different as he is. Should we just composite the roles?’

About an hour later. A waiting room in a small theater.

While the audition for ‘Leech’ is in full swing, one of the actors in the waiting room stands out while waiting for his turn. An actress with an unfamiliar face. The look on her face as she read the scenario while sitting on the sofa in the waiting room was unusual.

“must. “I will definitely stick with it.”

The eyes were full of venom. Maybe spirit. It was worth it. Because she was one of the only rookies among the many towers here.

My name is Han So-jin.

He has long black hair and dark eyes. He has clear skin and long limbs, making him a striking visual. The mole on the tip of her nose reminded us of her charm and gave off an elegant yet decadent vibe.

Han So-jin debuted about three years ago.

However, it began to be noticed by the public in earnest two years ago. In terms of timing, he was faster than Kang Woo-jin, but the difference was not that much in terms of timing.

What’s more fun than anything else.

『[Film Festival] ‘Monster Rookie’ Kang Woo-jin sweeps the Blue Dragon Awards, including the Rookie Award, and the Best New Actress Award goes to ‘Han So-jin’』

She won the New Actress Award at this year’s Blue Dragon Film Awards. He was the next batter to win the Rookie of the Year award after Kang Woo-jin. From a normal perspective, Han So-jin also made great strides. Because he won the Rookie of the Year award after a short period of obscurity after his debut.

but.

『’Kang Woo-jin’ sets a record with 8 wins, and no one can stop him!』

Her impact was minimal. Of course, it was because he was covered by Kang Woo-jin’s huge shadow. She was praised from the moment she entered the entertainment industry, and her beauty and acting were at the peak of their popularity, but Kang Woo-jin suddenly appeared. From then on, Han So-jin’s exposure to the media decreased. The public’s gaze has become shallow. Han So-jin was by no means lacking.

Kang Woo-jin’s power was simply too great.

Han So-jin was still active. No matter how much she was pushed out of influence, she did not betray the results she achieved. However, at some point, she began to look at Woojin persistently. Spread the word about the work through articles and YouTube on SNS. It was a ridiculous existence.

So what?

‘How great is it? If it’s in front of you, you can overcome it.’

Although it is said that the entertainment industry is one where one is demoted when one’s skills are considered an issue, Han So-jin had no intention of giving up easily. Rather than accepting it foolishly, I sublimated my feeling of defeat into venom.

“I can do it, no I will.”

Thanks to that, I am here to look for projects that I can join without having to audition. It was a struggle to prove himself rather than arrogance or jealousy. Otherwise, there was no need to come to this firing line. A desire to win or something similar.

This moment.

-smart.

A knocking sound spread throughout the waiting room, and the ‘Leech’ audition staff shaved their faces.

“Han So-jin, you can go to the audition.”

“Ah yes.”

After laying out the scenario, she quickly got up. I trimmed my long hair. I took a deep breath and took a deep breath. I move my feet slowly. The hallway leading to the small theater was quiet.

‘It’s a good thing that the actor looks after his co-star.’

The more this happened, the stronger Han So-jin’s resolve became. My heart was pounding with tension, but I somehow held it down. The role Han So-jin is currently aiming for is that of ‘Yoon Ji-min’, the youngest daughter of ‘Leech”s three children. And this is the first among the actresses participating today.

yet.

-Sigh.

Han So-jin entered a small theater filled with hot air. Many people were seen. First, she bowed at 90 degrees to the judges in front of the magnet.

“hello! “I’m Han So-jin!”

Director Ang Bok, who had a hard face, smiled slightly.

“Hehe, that’s right. “I’m enjoying your acting.”

“thank you!”

An ambitious answer. Han So-jin gasped when she saw not only director Ahn Ga-bok but also great actor Shim Shim-ho. Because they were crazy big guys.

‘Really calm down.’

After gathering her courage, Han So-jin went on stage. Kang Woo-jin appeared with an indifferent face. No, it was a goal. Even if it’s dire, you have to stick together somehow. Han So-jin approached Woo-jin and greeted him.

“Hello, thank you.”

Kang Woo-jin received it in a low tone.

“Yes, thank you.”

Here, Han So-jin lowered her voice and whispered to Woo-jin. It conveyed its own aspirations.

“And I will definitely beat Woojin and surpass him.”

“……”

Kang Woo-jin looks at her calmly. Han So-jin couldn’t tell his expression.

‘What… are you thinking?’

She immediately understood why people thought this man was so unpredictable. At that time, Kang Woo-jin answered briefly without any change in his expression.

“Of course.”

“ah?”

“As you wish.”

“……”

How can you so lightly pass over an ambition filled with determination? Han So-jin bit her lower lip discreetly. Combat power has increased. She then told everyone about the scene she chose, and director Ang Bok raised his hand and gave a sign.

“Hi-action.”

The scene she chose was the conflict between ‘Yoon Ji-min’, the youngest daughter of a chaebol family, and her father, ‘Chairman Yoon Jeong-bae’. Soon, Sojin Han suddenly tangled her long hair with both hands and shouted to Woojin who was standing in front of her.

“ah!! why!! I told you not! Why do you like that servant or leader? Am I crazy? “Are you a fool?”

There was madness in his eyes. On the other hand, Kang Woo-jin, who had one hand in his pocket, was calm. The dark eyes were full of composure. It was already Chairman Yoon Jeong-bae himself.

“Don’t get excited, I was just asking. I wonder if it’s even more certain? huh?”

Kang Woo-jin takes a step closer to Han So-jin. The facial expressions, gestures, tone of voice, and gaze changed. Park Ha-seong is nowhere to be found. A quiet tone with snake-like charisma embedded within it. If I closed my eyes, all I could think of was Chairman Yoon Jeong-bae.

Han So-jin, seeing him right in front of her, felt it desperately.

‘Wasn’t Park Ha-seong in charge? No, why can even Chairman Yoon Jeong-bae… make it this clear?’

Shim Shim-ho flinched for some reason. Director Gabok Ang’s eyes widened. The chaos spread throughout the small theater. Meanwhile, Han So-jin spoke the following lines.

“Oh what? No. No!! get out! Get out of my room!! It smells like old man! “That leech bastard is disgusting, so stop saying such weird nonsense and get out.”

A shout that is close to a scream. But Woojin, who sees her, remains steadfast. Then he slightly tilts his head. A faint smile spread across his lips. Then take another step. Woojin got a little closer to Han Sojin and put his face on Han Sojin.

Since our faces were so close together, we could feel their scent and the sound of their breath.

It was that moment.

‘……uh?’

Kang Woo-jin, who had been Chairman Yoon Jeong-bae until just moments before, changed in just one second. Han So-jin felt it more clearly than anyone else.

“Daughter, my beloved daughter.”

The air surrounding him changed mysteriously in an instant. I was emotionally drained by the accent and tone of voice. But there is rhythm. Above all, his mouth maintained the characteristic smile of Chairman Yoon Jeong-bae.

“Look me in the eye and say it again, are you sure you don’t say that?”

Kang Woo-jin’s eyes were so empty. The mouth and eyes worked separately. As a result, Chairman Yoon Jeong-bae felt like a different person. No, is it someone else?

‘It’s as if something else has come together.’

Anyway, Kang Woo-jin took a long breath and asked Han So-jin. The tone was dry, as if asking about ‘homework’.

“I don’t think it’s true, daughter, right?”

Moment.

“……ah.”

Han So-jin froze.

‘What the hell is that-’

Great actor Shim Jin-ho was standing up.
