I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 319
News that the official production presentation for ‘Familiar Gisaeng’ has been confirmed. Usually, the production presentation is held about two months before the editing of the work is completed. However, it did not take up to two months to complete the latter half of the editing of ‘Familiar Gisaeng’. That was the opinion of director Kyotaro, who was in charge of editing.
‘At the latest by the end of September.’
It’s currently mid-August, so there’s roughly a month and a little more left. Director Kyotaro then spoke to the representative of ‘Toega’ film company.
“I’ll tell Woojin Kang first.”
Woojin was not to be left out at the production presentation of ‘Familiar Parasite’.
“He is the key. He is a very busy actor, so make sure to confirm in advance.”
The representative nodded.
“All right. “We already communicated this situation last month, and now that ‘Boyfriend: Remake’ is on the rise, we expect that they will mix our schedule with the animation schedule.”
“I guess so.”
Since ‘Male Friend: Remake’ suddenly became a huge hit, it also helped ‘Unfamiliar Gisaeng’. Of course, that passage was Kang Woo-jin. Anyway, Director Kyotaro sighed and rubbed his gray hair. Reminiscing about the past. It was an after-party held by Chairman Hideki Yoshimura after the filming of ‘Familiar Gisaeng’ was completed.
‘Woojin wanted to increase the size even further.’
In response to the motion to reduce publicity in hopes of calming down the numerous controversies surrounding the anticipated ‘unfamiliar gisaeng’, Kang Woo-jin’s last words were ‘Nopaku’.
As a result.
‘Expanding all editions other than production presentations and events, including promotional marketing, to a greater extent than before.’
On the contrary, everyone, including Director Kyotaro, agreed to the conclusion that the situation should be amplified several times. The ‘unfamiliar gisaeng’ had to break through that situation head-on. Director Kyotaro then asked the staff in the editing room to take a short break. Soon, only he and the representative of Toega Film Company remained in the editing room. Of the two, the one who spoke again was Director Kyotaro, who gestured for them to sit down.
“Pan is. “How was the production presentation organized?”
The CEO, who pulled out a nearby chair and sat down, answered seriously.
“The date is Saturday, August 22nd.”
There are approximately 5 days left.
“The time was set at noon and the location was ‘Kashihi Tokyo Hotel.’ “Kang Woo-jin, as well as all the main actors, are planning to attend, and writer Akari Takikawa is also available.”
“thank god. “What about reporters?”
“Based on the list, we gathered over 120 people. We doubled what we had planned. ‘Familiar Gisaeng’ is such a hot topic that it may attract more attention.”
“It doesn’t matter because I was planning on doing that. and?”
“On the day of the production presentation, including reporters, we also prepared a live stream on YouTube. “I plan to promote streaming in advance through social media, etc.”
“hmm.”
In a word, during the production presentation of ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’, they said they would do everything they could. In the case of real-time streaming, it is a common practice in Korea, but ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’ has many top actors, including Kang Woo-jin, and big names such as writer Akari. In addition, since it was an explosive issue in Japan, it was obvious that many netizens would flock to it.
Those netizens will include not only the public but also Japanese actors and entertainment industry officials.
Director Kyotaro slowly crossed his arms and rubbed his chin.
‘That’s not enough to amplify the board.’
I recalled Chairman Hideki’s comment at a past after-party.
‘Kang Woo-jin is an icon of declaration of war.’
To be precise, it was an illusion that Chairman Hideki understood arbitrarily. It is a deep misunderstanding that Kang Woo-jin’s moderately recited words about increasing the game will hit the mark and draw even more attention.
‘What is Woojin planning?’
At this time, it was 100% obvious that Kang Woo-jin had nothing to think about, but Director Kyotaro’s smile deepened. As confirmed, the amplified version announcing the advance of the ‘unfamiliar parasite’ was properly laid out. Now all that was left was the nuclear bomb for Kang Woo-jin to drop.
‘Yeah, I’m starting to look forward to it too. What kind of declaration of war will they carry out?’
However, Director Kyotaro also had no intention of leaving everything to Kang Woo-jin. The director himself can’t be lukewarm when the lead actor doesn’t sacrifice himself so much.
“I also have to make up my mind.”
The illusion planted by Chairman Hideki encouraged Coach Kyotaro’s fighting ability. At this time, the eyes of the CEO of the Toega film company landed on several monitors behind Director Kyotaro. Kang Woo-jin’s face. No, the image of ‘Kiyoshi Iyota’ was being printed out in a stopped state.
Kiyoshi is staring at the camera with an expressionless face.
Although the representative had already seen Woojin’s acting on set, it was his first time seeing it on a monitor. And as soon as he saw Kiyoshi on the monitor, he swallowed his saliva. Kang Woo-jin’s acting may have been just acting, but I got goosebumps as soon as I saw Kiyoshi’s face that he embodied.
‘This movie will definitely throw Japan into chaos.’
It may have been a disaster never seen again in the Japanese film industry.
backwards.
Around early afternoon, a lot of important news related to the ‘familiar parasite’ was poured into the Japanese media. Kang Woo-jin in Korea confirmed this while changing schedules.
‘Wow, your firepower is crazy??’
Kang Woo-jin is tough on the outside, but bright on the inside. Even though he had already received the invitation for the production presentation of ‘The Strange Gisaeng’, the strong flame of ‘The Strange Gisaeng’ was surprising.
『Announcement of news about the production presentation of “The Strange Sacrifice of a Stranger,” starring Kang Woo-jin』
『The production presentation of “The Unfamiliar Parasite” is finally held amid numerous issues and controversies』
Of course, the news of the official production presentation of ‘The Stranger’s Parasite’, which is currently in the midst of editing. Thanks to ‘Boyfriend: Remake’, attention suddenly focused on ‘Unfamiliar Gisaeng’, which had already been thrown at the firewood again.
It has to be that way.
『The production press conference for “Familiar Gisaeng” will be held on Saturday the 22nd! The location is Kashihi Tokyo Hotel. Live streaming was also held on the same day』
Because the production presentation of ‘Familiar Parasite’ included several contents. In addition to the fact that more than twice the usual number of reporters gathered, the fact that live streaming was also conducted stimulated public opinion. This rice cake was widely spread on Japan’s leading SNS by the evening of the same day.
-Wasn’t this production discontinued?
-wwww This is my first time seeing a production presentation that is also being streamed! Of course Kang Woo-jin will also appear, right?
-I’m curious! 22nd? What time is it? If you have time, you should definitely see it!
-….The unfamiliar gisaeng with a Korean actor as the main character…isn’t that good…
-Why are you so confident, even ignoring the complaints of the fans of the original work?
– It seems like Kang Woo-jin is standing in front of the media for the first time after the appearance of Stranger Things has been confirmed.
– Looking at the atmosphere, it seems like there will be a lot of people flocking to streaming wwwwww
– If Kang Woo-jin appears, you should watch it!!!
Various reactions arose, but there was no coherent feeling. While cheering, they also cursed coolly. There are also many people who say they are waiting or express indifference. What can I say, it was mud itself. It seemed like a clash between Kang Woo-jin’s fans and Kang Seong’s fans from the original ‘Familiar Parasite’.
『SNS is on fire because of 「Unfamiliar Gisaeng」, which is right before the production press conference』
『Public reactions to the news of 「Unfamiliar Gisaeng」 press conference spreading widely on SNS are sharply divided』
This situation continues as the 17th comes to an end and the next day, the 18th. When it was bright, it became several times more powerful. It snowballed beyond social media and into the community. There was even news that a live-action film of ‘Familiar Gisaeng’ was coming out in a foreign press article. This was because the original ‘Familiar Gisaeng’ book was so popular around the world.
Whatever it was, I was watching the flood begin to break out.
“Hmm, it’s a little disappointing.”
Chairman Hideki, the head of the Kashihi Group and the main investor of ‘The Stranger’, gave instructions to Riri, the head of the Arsenic Department.
“Let’s also give some power to the media. “So that it spreads even louder than it does now.”
“I understand, Chairman.”
“Are the preparations in progress for the hall where the production presentation will be held?”
“yes. We have clearly conveyed this information to Kashihi Tokyo Hotel and are making meticulous preparations.”
“Don’t forget about publicity.”
“Yes, Chairman.”
Articles have already been poured into the ‘Unfamiliar Gisaeng’ channel, but Chairman Hideki’s personal power is also added. What happened next was obvious even without looking at it. It will be more flooded than now. Of course, Akari Takikawa, the original author of ‘Familiar Gisaeng’, also did not stay still. She mentioned the movie ‘The Unfamiliar Parasite’ in an interview with a major media outlet.
“Mr. Writer, the live-action film ‘Familiar’ has become a hot topic again. Can you give us a little hint as to what kind of content is being produced? Haha, many fans around the world are very curious.”
“It may be difficult to go into detail, but one thing is certain: the movie ‘Familiar Gisaeng’ will be more interesting than the ‘Familiar Gisaeng’ I wrote. And it will surprise you.”
“Oh, is that so?”
“I assure you. Because I was surprised too. I think this ‘Strange Gisaeng’ production presentation will be like that.”
“Ah, I saw the article. The author is also attending? “By any chance, Mr. Kang Woo-jin?”
“Of course he is the key lead actor in ‘The Stranger.’”
This interview with author Akari was published around the afternoon of the same day.
『[Hot Issue] Akari Takikawa, the original writer of 「The Stranger Things」, “The movie The Stranger Things will surprise everyone.”』 Perhaps because the
hooking had already been done properly, the aggro was instantly attracted. Numerous comments from the Japanese public poured in. Kang Woo-jin, who saw it, was at a commercial filming site in Korea. Perhaps it was time for a break, but he was wearing a white shirt and jeans, which was the clothing used for advertising purposes.
Woojin’s face with his legs crossed was solemn.
‘It’s getting worse?? Is this right??’
Kang Woo-jin was very surprised. Well, I expected it to some extent because of what he said, but the current situation in Japan is several times more aggro than the picture he drew. Indeed, with big players working together, this is like gum. Kang Woo-jin, who was muttering to himself, felt slightly worried.
‘Wow, this is a bit burdensome.’
But the worry did not last long.
‘Tsk, that’s it.’
I came to the conclusion that all I had to do was maintain the concept quality.
‘It’s actually more convenient because all I have to do is think about it.’
A few days later on the highway.
On Friday the 20th, it was a little after 8 o’clock in the morning. The black van carrying Kang Woo-jin was driving down the road. Destination: Gimpo Airport. Several team members were in that van, and of course Kang Woo-jin was also there. Woojin wore a beige shirt and dark brown slacks. The hair and makeup are already stylish.
It was natural since I had been to the shop early in the morning.
“……”
Woojin, who was deeply cynical, was looking out the window indifferently, but inside, he was half excited and half worried.
‘It’s already a strange production presentation. Time flies so fast. Somehow, it will be opened soon.’
Because he was scheduled to go to Japan today. Then, Choi Seong-gun in the passenger seat turned around, tying his ponytail tightly again. There was a diary in his hand.
“Woojin, I’m going to Japan today, and starting around lunchtime, I’ll be doing interviews related to ‘Boyfriend: Remake’ and going around ‘A10 Studio.’ Tomorrow, on the 21st, you’ll know, but the main event is the ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’ production presentation.”
Kang Woo-jin’s schedule in Japan this time was short. Approximately 3 days. Today, the 20th, is mainly the schedule for the hit ‘Male Friend: Remake’, and tomorrow the 21st and 22nd were the main events, including the production presentation of ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’. Because it was a short period of 3 days, the schedule was tight. Nevertheless, I had to do as much as possible and get out of there.
Anyway, Woojin answered calmly.
“Yes, CEO.”
Choi Seong-gun put his cell phone to his ear when he heard the ringtone. Soon, Han Ye-jeong, who had recently changed her hair to orange, called Woo-jin.
“Oppa’s ‘Strange Gisaeng’ production presentation. “The CEO said I needed to put in some effort that day, so I made a list of outfits. What would you like?”
I saw that several concept costumes had been printed out as photos. Among them, Kang Woo-jin took a photo of one outfit.
“this.”
It was all black.
About two hours later. Kang Woo-jin passed through the departure hall, leaving behind a huge crowd of reporters. Onlookers soon gathered, but because Choi Seong-geon had prepared more guards in advance, no major problems occurred.
At this time.
-Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
While Woojin was moving to the gate, his cell phone vibrated for a long time. Kang Woo-jin is checking on the other person without much notice, as he has been ringing the bell often recently.
‘oh?’
Kang Woo-jin’s expression didn’t change at the concept, but he was a little surprised on the inside. The reason was simple. Because the other person was director Ahn Ga-bok, a veteran of the Korean film industry. Soon, Kang Woo-jin motioned for Choi Seong-gun to stop for a moment and put the cell phone to his ear. The voice was low.
“Yes, Director. hello.”
Angabok’s old voice over the cell phone was still there. However, it felt drier.
“hmm. It’s been quite a while since I contacted you. “Where are you?”
“I’m about to leave Japan right now.”
“Our ‘leeches’ are just around the corner.”
“…Is that so?”
“hmm. So we need to take care of it too. “I think editing will be completed before mid-September.”
There are less than 3 weeks left. Then, director Ang Bok looked over the phone.
“Anyway, I have to go to Japan and see it. I have to make a poster.”
He recited it definitively.
“The main poster to send to Cannes.”
