I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 254
(Gale (4))
“Korea…?”
Giant Joseph narrowed his eyes at Miley Kara’s answer over the cell phone.
“Kara, what do you mean all of a sudden? You’re in Korea. “Wasn’t it a while ago that you visited Korea for promotional purposes?”
At Joseph’s reaction, the bald-headed Robert across from him and the foreign team members tilted their heads. That’s because the call from global star Kara was a bit unexpected, as it was absurd that she was currently in Korea.
On the other hand, Kara’s unique cold voice heard from Joseph’s cell phone did not change.
“It was a long time ago. Promotional activities for the movie have already ended. “Currently, we have started working on the album.”
“Then what? “Are you kidding me?”
“Is there nothing I can do like that? “Joseph, why would I call you and play pranks on you?”
I’m serious. Joseph’s previously untrustworthy face became somewhat serious.
“Huh, you’re really in Korea right now?”
“yes.”
“When did you arrive?”
“Two hours ago.”
“…It was so quiet. “I haven’t heard the news or seen the article.”
“of course. Because he moved secretly and entered the country as a thief. Probably no one will know except our team. Because of confidentiality reasons, we are going to a rental house rather than a hotel. “Joseph, just pretend you don’t know.”
Did Miley Kara enter Korea in great secret? Why? Joseph, curious, gets up from the sofa. Because it’s such a giant, it gets all the attention. He then asked back into his cell phone.
“Why did you come to Korea while working on your album? Is it because of KPOP?”
“no. “Joseph is in a hotel now, right?”
“yes.”
“I heard that I will be going to the first filming site of the movie ‘Leech’ in two days on the 8th.”
Joseph, who was looking out the window with one hand stuffed in his pocket, narrowed his brows again.
“How…did you know that? What is it, Kara? “Are you at least investigating my background?”
Kara answered through the phone with a low laugh.
“It can’t be. It was purely coincidental. I sent an inquiry to the ‘Leech’ team, but they confused us as your team. So I got it. Why are you going to the ‘leech’ site?”
“Because I am the producer. That’s what you do. “Isn’t it strange that you’re interested in that movie, Kara?”
“To be exact, it’s not because of ‘leeches.’ “It’s because of the actor who appears in that movie.”
At that moment, something sparkled in Black Joseph’s mind.
“……no way. “Kang Woo-jin?”
“I know your name. As expected, Joseph, you are also going to the scene to see that actor, right? “Perhaps the Hollywood screen test article about Kang Woo-jin that appeared a while ago was also related to you.”
“well. It’s hard to say that I only look at Korean actors like Kang Woo-jin, but there are a lot of good actors on the ‘Leech’ set. “It’s difficult to be certain.”
“It doesn’t really matter which one it is. Rather, Joseph moves with me to the filming site on the 8th.”
“Are you sure you want to go?”
“Otherwise, there is no reason to come to Korea. Of course, I didn’t come to Korea solely because of that movie. Anyway, how about we go together. “I don’t think it would be noticeable if they were mixed together.”
Joseph laughed. Still, I tap on the calculator. Miley Cara’s presence was too great to ignore.
‘Aside from understanding the situation, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to create a personal debt to Kara here.’
Joseph concluded and nodded.
“Okay, let’s move together on the 8th. But did Kara really come to Korea for one actor named Kang Woo-jin?”
“I told you. There are other things to do. “Then see me on the 8th.”
“……okay.”
-Suddenly.
Dropped call. Joseph Felton naturally lowers his cell phone from his ear. Soon, bald-headed Robert, who was behind him, asked quietly.
“Miley Kara – Is she really in Korea right now?”
Joseph, who put his cell phone in his pants pocket, smiled slightly and spoke English.
“I think so.”
“Why did Miley Kara… come to Korea because of ‘leeches’? “What about Kang Woo-jin?”
“There’s no way to know. She is such an unpredictable character. I can only guess. “There is a high possibility that I saw something in Kang Woo-jin when I came to Korea to promote a movie in the past.”
“Something?”
“I guess I felt something similar to Kang Woo-jin.”
“Still, it’s amazing. “Miley Kara is famous for being cold even in Hollywood.”
“I don’t know exactly what KARA is trying to do with Kang Woo-jin, but I guess it’s an energy that even a Hollywood star like that can be swayed by.”
Bald-headed Robert’s face turned into a slightly incomprehensible look. On the contrary, he crossed his arms around the giant Joseph, his expression showing interest.
“Kang Woo-jin fascinated me more than I expected. “Hollywood figures.”
Meanwhile, at the same time.
Inside a large, heavily tinted van driving on a road in Seoul full of cars. There were quite a few foreigners inside the car. Among them, a woman with blonde hair and sunglasses sitting near the window is looking down at her cell phone.
It was Miley Kara.
“As expected, Joseph Felton is interested in Kang Woo-jin.”
The person who responded to her words was a foreigner with half-shaved hair sitting on the seat to her right. No, it was Jonathan, Kara’s manager representative.
“Are you sure? “There are so many Hollywood actors around Joseph Felton, so why bother with just one Korean actor?”
“Even if it’s not 100%, I see it that way. “The Hollywood production that Kang Woo-jin took a screen test for is probably one of the ones run by Joseph.”
In fact, Kara continued to search for news about Kang Woo-jin even after returning to LA. Because I had a deep interest and a desire to work with Woojin. It was to that extent that he was mentioned on famous overseas talk shows.
Therefore, Woojin’s Hollywood movie screen test, various issues, and even his recent piano performance were confirmed. Jonathan then rubbed his chin.
“Hmm, the fact that I caught Joseph Felton’s eye… means that the path to Hollywood will be opened.”
Kara smiled slightly and crossed her legs.
“Kang Woo-jin – Anyway, he’s an amazing actor. “I never thought I would be noticed by the most influential producer in Hollywood.”
“By the way, did you send a DM to KARA’s Kang Woo-jin?”
“I haven’t sent it yet. I have the goal of watching him act, which is his main job, not his hobby, but Kang Woo-jin may feel some pressure when he sees me. “It’s likely not because of his personality, but… I don’t want to cause any concern.”
Kara muttered and took off her sunglasses. Blue eyes are vivid. After thinking for a moment, she turned her gaze out the window.
“It’s not too late to make an offer after he finishes filming.”
Several hours later.
The location is near Sinsa Station. It was the headquarters building of a large distribution company. To be exact, it was the distributor of the movie ‘Leech’ and a familiar female actor got out of the van that had just parked in the building’s underground parking lot.
-Drur!
Han So-jin, a new actress with long black hair and a dot near the tip of her nose, had both an elegance and a decadent image. As soon as she got out of the van, she sighed. There was tension in my breath. Han So-hee, wearing a hoodie, has the ‘leech’ scenario in her heart.
It was natural.
In about an hour, the official script reading for ‘Leech’ is about to begin.
An incredible work that created a stir in the domestic entertainment industry and film industry even before its production. The moment you step into the 100th film directed by director Ahn Ga-bok, a piece of film industry history. As for the main and supporting roles, Han So-jin’s level of writing changed from the moment she joined ‘Leech’.
I got to share acting with great actors and the dream-like stage of the Cannes Film Festival began to come into view.
It was natural for Han So-jin, a rookie, to feel extreme pressure.
‘Whoa, come to your senses. You can’t fall asleep before it even starts. ‘There are mountains to climb, right?’
However, Han So-jin came to her senses. It was the fact that she joined a huge group of ‘leeches’, but in the meantime, she had a clear goal like a mountain. He struggles with Kang Woo-jin, who is the only rookie similar to him in this field, but whose position is different from heaven and earth.
The ultimate goal is the desire to win.
Soon, spirit appears in her eyes. On the other hand, Han So-jin’s manager and team members were always smiling. It was natural that Han So-jin, who they played, was on a roll.
“Let’s go, Sojin, shall we go?”
“Yes, Director.”
“I’m so touched. “Our Sojin is going to the script reading for director Ahn Ga-bok’s work!”
After getting on the elevator, they got off on the 4th floor and, guided by the waiting staff, arrived at the conference room in the middle of the hallway.
A name plate was posted in front of the glass door.
-‘Leech’ script reading room.
As is natural, dozens of staff members are busy moving around. A team with a camera can also be seen. Reporters talking on the phone or checking cameras are also noticeable. Then, Sojin Han took a deep breath and opened the glass door of the reading room.
In an instant, an internal reading page unfolded before her eyes.
A table set in the shape of the letter 0, many simple chairs surrounding the table, cameras installed on tripods here and there, casting tickets placed on the table, film company or distribution company officials who arrived in advance, etc.
It was a common sight, but the scale was large.
Soon, Han So-jin, who shouted greetings loudly like a rookie, bowed slightly to the staff and officials and checked the role tickets placed on the table.
The funny thing is.
“ah.”
You can see the actor who arrived before you. Han So-jin also arrived about 50 minutes early. However, the male actor with an indifferent face right next to the director’s seat in the front took first place.
‘……Kang Woo-jin.’
It was Kang Woo-jin, wearing a slightly thick aviator jumper, sitting calmly in his seat and looking down at the scenario. It was unexpected. To be honest, Sojin Han thought she would have arrived first. But I lost to him from the start. It’s funny to rank things based on the order they come in, but Han So-jin’s venom is that strong right now.
‘Ha-I should have come about 30 minutes earlier.’
She lamented internally and slowly walked towards Kang Woo-jin. Woojin, who was looking at the scenario, probably felt that he was popular, but turned his head. Han So-jin bowed her head to him.
“Hello, Mr. Woojin.”
As if nothing special happened, Woojin got up and greeted me.
“hello.”
“…You came early.”
“It just so happened.”
“Uh-”
Han So-jin, who was trailing off, chewed her lower lip discreetly before continuing.
“The roles I showed during the audition… I was really surprised. “I thought it was amazing.”
“Is that so?”
“yes. So I became more confident. “I really want to surpass Woojin.”
Han So-jin’s small but firm ambitions. On the other hand, there was no particular concern about Kang Woo-jin’s low voice.
“As you wish.”
Cool and calm. It looks a little arrogant, but it is heavy. This guy is still the same. Han So-jin was venomous when she saw Kang Woo-jin, but on the contrary, she was one of the people on the scene who recognized him the most.
‘He definitely had talent, sense, and talent. But there is no conceit whatsoever. This actor never stops. You probably worked hard and sacrificed your life to get here, right? It’s crazy, really. ‘What a scam.’
The more I looked, the higher Kang Woo-jin was. The actor that director Ga-bok Ang personally contacted for the lead role. But you can’t give up. No, I don’t want to do it. Han So-jin strengthened her resolve again.
“…Please take care of me again.”
“Yes, me too.”
The brief greeting between the two ended. Behind her, she glanced at the role sheet placed in Woojin’s seat.
-‘Park Ha-seong / Actor Kang Woo-jin’
Han So-jin’s seat was the third seat across from Woo-jin.
-‘Yoon Ji-min role/Han So-jin’
After a few tens of minutes, the actors of ‘Leech’ began to arrive one after another. Top actor Jin Jae-jun was selected for the role of ‘Yoon Ja-ho’. His seat is immediately to the right of Kang Woo-jin.
“Woojin, it’s been a while. “Did you have a good time in LA?”
“Yes, senior.”
Unlike during the audition, Jaejun Jin was quite relaxed. Han So-jin across from him politely greeted him, and around this time, several supporting characters from ‘Leech’ also entered. Meanwhile, Oh Hee-ryeong, who played the role of ‘Yoo Hyeon-ji’, also appeared.
“Hello- hello hello.”
While still looking like she was in her 30s, she maintained a beautiful and alluring image. His actions and speech were very refined. It exudes an atmosphere full of class. Although he was a great actor similar to Shim Shim-ho, it was Oh Hee-ryeong who broke down the wall.
“Oh my, Sojin. Nice to meet you – I saw your acting well during the audition.”
“Senior Seo! hello. “You can speak freely!”
“Hey, what kind of senior are you? You can call me sister. “Is it a bit difficult right now?”
“iced coffee! no! “Unni…senpai.”
“Hahaha, this guy has a character.”
Of course, Oh Hee-ryeong also treated Kang Woo-jin kindly.
“Hello, Woojin? “I’ve seen so many articles about it that it doesn’t even seem like it’s been a long time, right?”
“yes. Hello, senior.”
“Yes, Mr. Woojin, is cool taste attractive?”
“I don’t really know.”
“That’s funny – we’re supposed to stick together, right? “I’m looking forward to filming.”
“So do i.”
Han So-jin, who was seeing this, turned to the cynical Kang Woo-jin.
‘Wow, that person is the same even in front of this senior. I’m really jealous of that. ‘I can’t do it…’
Of course, Han So-jin did not notice that Woo-jin flinched for a moment.
It was then.
-Sigh.
One more actor arrived at the large reading hall. Soon you can hear the cries of various staff members and supporting actors.
“Oh, hello!”
“Hello, senior!!”
“hello!”
It was natural. Because the one who just entered was the great actor Shim Shim-ho. His appearance instantly added weight to the reading area. However, Oh Hee-ryeong, who sat to the right of Han So-jin, was not much different. Even while looking at the bleak Simeon Lake, he maintains a smile.
“Oh my? “Senior, what is that? Where in the mountains did you live?”
Except for Oh Hee-ryeong, most of the actors and staff at the reading were surprised to see Shim Shim-ho. The reason was simple.
“……”
Because the shape of the severed man with his mouth closed was quite unusual. To put it in a good way, it was macho, and in a bad way, it was like a beggar. Although he still had a decent figure, he had lost some weight and his long gray hair was even longer. The problem is that there is quite a bit of rough stubble around the mouth and chin.
He was a natural person himself.
Among the actors who were surprised by this, Han So-jin opened her eyes wide and opened her mouth without realizing it.
‘What-did you really go somewhere in the mountains and practice??!’
Nevertheless, Sim Sim-ho’s tiger-like aura remained the same. Or is it because it adds a rough aspect? Rather, it was filled with a more wild taste.
Following.
-Sure.
Shim Ho, with a very blunt face and holding a scenario in one hand, walked straight in front of one actor while receiving appropriate greetings from the other actors.
“Hello, senior.”
It was in front of Kang Woo-jin, who had a strong poker face. Shim Shim-ho’s seat is the first seat opposite Woojin. But for some reason, Shim Shim-ho met Kang Woo-jin first.
Great actor Shin Shim-ho’s eyes are calm and wild.
“……”
Shin Shim-ho, who briefly looked into Woojin’s eyes, opened his mouth, which had grown a rough beard. The voice is very thick.
“I think my acting might be a little harsh today.”
They say it will be aggressive. Han So-jin, who was watching this for a moment, gasped. what? She is clearly embarrassed. It was the first sight I saw after my debut as an actor. Soon, Han So-jin focused her gaze on Woo-jin, who was standing in front of Shin Shim-ho.
I figured Woojin would have been embarrassed too. If that great actor Shim Shim-ho did something like that right in front of his nose, anyone would be scared.
‘It’s going to freeze??’
However, Kang Woo-jin’s heaviness did not waver one bit.
“Yes, I will take it well.”
