I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 325
I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 325
The four synopses that Joseph saw were also overlaid with page scripts containing brief initial content. Of course, the synopsis he sees is based on the Hollywood dinosaur movie. It was provided by the distributor, ‘Universal Movies.’ At best, it was just a concept or idea, and Joseph, the executive producer hired by the film company, passed it on to several screenwriters in advance.
Before the recent team meeting.
Megan Stone, the caddy, had seen and knew about that concept or idea. When she was cast, the film company ‘Universal Movies’ showed it to her. A concept based on ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ and including dissociative personality disorder. i.e. multiple personalities. However, such a concept or idea would be nothing without the author’s hand.
It can only be brought to life through the hands of a writer or screenwriter.
-Sigh.
The synopses now in Joseph’s hands were the result. It took quite a while for the synopsis and script to come out, but they came out anyway. The funny thing is.
‘I never thought everything would be so different.’
The content and genre of the synopsis and script that come from the same concept idea are all different. It was like part 4 of a movie scenario was right in front of my eyes. Although it was a natural result since four screenwriters were commissioned, Giant Joseph smiled and felt a strange feeling.
‘The world of creation is mysterious.’
Hollywood’s scenario production system is different from Korea’s. Of course, there are cases in Hollywood where a director writes a screenplay, but it is rare. Even some of the biggest names in Hollywood usually hand over the concept to Hollywood writers to write, as Joseph does.
Of course, there are multiple authors, not just one.
Additionally, writers who are offered screenplays never know each other and cannot contact each other. In this way, several Hollywood writers turn a single concept or idea into a synopsis. The completed synopsis is handed over to a general producer like Joseph, and based on the synopses, the film company and producers work together to select just one.
Proper scenario work begins only after adoption is complete.
In other words, this was also the moment when Joseph chose the scenario that would be produced into a Hollywood movie. Of course, there is involvement from film companies, but most of the power is given to producers. It was no exaggeration to say that this one choice would determine the rise and fall of future films.
If it fails, everyone will die.
Not only Joseph, but also Megan, his caddy, and all the famous Hollywood key staff members that Joseph had gathered in advance and gathered together recently to attend the first meeting. An incredible amount of money was also dissipated.
-Palak.
Therefore, Joseph, a giant over 190 feet tall, started reading the synopses he had already seen again. No, I will probably have to watch it countless times in the future. From the first synopsis to the second, third, and last synopsis, to the fourth synopsis. Then, read the first synopsis again.
-Palak palak.
Since Joseph often reads synopsis scenarios, the reading was quick, but the time that passed by was melting away in an instant.
yet.
-Tuk.
Joseph piled up the synopses he was reading and roughly threw them on the desk in front of him, crossing his long legs and muttering.
“Thriller noir crime action comedy. It’s more difficult because the genres are different. “Well, it’s something I do for the sake of it.”
A smile spread across his lips.
“I would be so thankful if someone knew about the future of my work and chose it.”
This was something Joseph often imagined when situations like this came up. Although such a person may not exist, it was still something Joseph, the executive producer, had always dreamed of.
‘There is no way anyone could perform such divine feats.’
This moment.
“no. “There is one similar person.”
A Korean actor flashed in Giant Joseph’s mind. It was Kang Woo-jin. ‘Failure’ could not be found in his writings. Even currently in progress. In Korea and Japan, they gave him the nickname ‘Hand of Midas’.
‘Of course, he has a keen sense and eye for work, but even so, it’s comparable to God’s talent.’
Joseph, who thought about Woojin for a moment, muttered to himself.
“If time permits, it might be okay to sneakily show you these synopses.”
He changed the direction of his braided legs, pushed the synopses slightly, and then pulled other files. A file containing a list of numerous Hollywood directors and the number of people and schedules to go to Bangkok. Of course, the Bangkok-related thing was Kang Woo-jin’s filming field trip for ‘Beneficial Evil’.
“The director can confirm it after the synopsis is decided. “Let’s start with the easy ones.”
He opened the Bangkok-related files he had organized in advance. The conversation has already ended with Kang Woo-jin’s side and the ‘Beneficial Evil’ side. Joseph checked the people who would be accompanying him in the file. Once Joseph’s own caddy, Megan Stone, was recruited, the stunt teams distributed and several executives from the film company ‘Universal Movies’.
It feels like quite a lot of people are moving around.
In fact, it is not easy to move this scale at once. Joseph and Megan are in love with Kang Woo-jin, but it’s difficult to convince the rest. However, Joseph got a definitive answer from everyone in the name of private life.
‘A route that goes to Bangkok and then goes straight to France. It’s been quite a tiring schedule for a long time.’
Joseph’s team was planning to attend the Cannes Film Festival after Bangkok.
Afterwards.
After a long meeting with Miley Kara, producer Song Man-woo and writer Kim So-hyang and Choi Nana flew to Korea on the same night.
They arrived in Korea on the 12th.
It was producer Song Man-woo who carried out the forced march, but he had to move immediately without resting as soon as he arrived in Korea.
“Thank you for your hard work. Go get some rest and see you tomorrow.”
“Yes, PD. But are you going to work right away?”
“That’s right. Tomorrow is the script reading.”
“Ugh, you need to get some rest. “It would be a big problem if I fell.”
“No problem, this much. Not once or twice.”
The script reading for ‘Beneficial Evil’ was scheduled for tomorrow, the 13th, around noon. Although general director Kim So-hyang and writer Choi Nana are also participating in the script reading, the only person who has to be busy today is producer Song Man-woo. The script reading, the first step in the global challenge that will mark the end of the long pre-production of ‘Beneficial Evil’, is tomorrow, but there was no time to rest.
Producer Song Man-woo will soon return to DM Productions.
At this time, Kang Woo-jin was, of course, busy with his schedule. In the morning, there was a grand fan autograph session as an advertising model. Currently, the group was moving to the site to film additional commercials. A brief internet broadcast related to Woojin’s SNS was scheduled for the night. For communication with fans.
‘Ah, I feel like yawning. I guess I’ll have to go to sub-space and come out really strong.’
It was when Woojin, who had a strong sense of humor, was suppressing a yawn for a long time.
-Ugh.
His cell phone vibrated briefly. Well, my phone hasn’t been out of service all day, but what arrived just now was a DM. It was sent by top Japanese actor Mana Kosaku, and the content said, ‘Are you doing your best?’ There were also photos capturing comments and various Japanese articles.
『Did you aim for noise marketing? 「Unfamiliar Gisaeng」Kang Woo-jin’s declaration is a huge blow!』
『Conceit or confidence? “Kang Woo-jin’s Declaration of War on the Japanese Film Industry Industry Experts’ Perspectives Are Divided”
The articles sent by Mana Kosaku were all about ‘unfamiliar parasites’ and Kang Woo-jin.
‘What kind of arrogance are you? It’s just something you said.’
Woojin sighed inwardly, responded appropriately, and then turned on something else. Various Japanese portal sites, SNS, and even communities. This is the conclusion of Kang Woo-jin, who rode the waves for about 10 minutes.
‘This is a really hard publicity stunt.’
The promotion and marketing of ‘Unfamiliar Gisaeng’ was at an insane level. In fact, the ‘Familiar’ team, including director Kyotaro, has been pouring out rice cakes to the Japanese media every day since the production presentation.
『Editing for “Unfamiliar Parasite” became even hotter after the production presentation and will likely be completed by the end of this month. Release expected at the end of October.』 The
decision to increase the number of copies is being carried out steadily.
『Will he inherit Kang Woo-jin’s confidence? 「Unfamiliar Parasite」 said, “We will increase the size of the preview screening several times”』
Woo-jin, who was quietly watching the situation in Japan, tried to imagine.
‘After the snowball has grown so big, if ‘The Unfamiliar Parasite’ is released, won’t Japanese kids really be shocked?’
Just imagining for a moment the aftermath that would occur after its release gave me goosebumps. But even for a moment.
‘Well, I have nothing to be afraid of.’
Woojin quickly erased his thoughts. As the saying goes, whether it’s a disaster or not, as long as the work is good, it’s the best, right? By the time Kang Woo-jin arrived at the commercial filming site, he had about 30 minutes to spare thanks to the preparation time.
In fact, Kang Woo-jin’s interest recently has been in ‘leeches’.
The film studio of ‘Leech’, which had been quiet throughout filming, began to move in earnest after testing the finished product a few days ago. Therefore, among the many issues popping up in Korea, the one about ‘leeches’ was a strong one.
『[Movie Talk] Screening test for ‘Leech’, the ‘Cannes entry’ has been completed. Focus on which section it will enter!』
Currently, ‘Leech’ has been confirmed to be invited to the Cannes Film Festival and its submission has been completed. However, it was not decided which sector it was. The huge Cannes Film Festival, one of the world’s three largest international film festivals, has several categories. It is also called the awards section or competition section, but it is the core of the Cannes Film Festival and the main section is the ‘competition section’. Below that, there are ‘Notable Eyes’, ‘Non-Competitive Sectors’, etc.
In the ‘competitive section’, approximately 20 invited films from around the world are selected, and the Palme d’Or, the highest award of the Cannes Film Festival, is awarded.
The second place awards, including the Grand Jury Prize, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Screenplay, were also included. All awards are the main event at Cannes, and top actors and filmmakers from around the world also aim for these awards.
That is what it is announced.
『’Cannes Film Festival”s ‘Competition Category’ official selection announcement confirmed on the 17th How many Korean films, including ‘Leech’, will advance to the main sector?』 The
Cannes Film Festival makes the announcement at once through a press conference in France. Of course, it could be seen live on video platforms such as YouTube. It feels like only the ‘competition section’ is the same and the rest of the works are posted on the official page.
In short, going to Cannes would be an honor, but to really turn the world upside down.
『What are the chances that ‘Leech’, directed by the sharp-edged ‘Ahn Ga-bok’, will be included in the ‘competition section’ of this year’s Cannes Film Festival?』 Entering the
‘competition section’ came first.
DM Production on the 13th.
The door to the conference room of DM Production, which is in charge of producing ‘Beneficial Evil’, is firmly closed. Several staff members stood guard in front of it, and a coated paper was attached to the glass door at the back.
-[Beneficial Evil Script Reading]
That’s right. The script reading for ‘Beneficial Evil’ was currently taking place here. Therefore, many actors gathered at the M-shaped desk inside the spacious conference room. Surrounding that L-shaped desk were several keypads. Production director, martial arts director, cinematographer, and many others for ‘Beneficial Evil’. Of course, this includes Ethan Smith, a stunt team mixed with the foreign team.
‘Korea’s script reading is also similar to Hollywood. ‘Is something a little more static different?’
Including general director Kim So-hyang as well as Netflix officials, the number of people involved was at least over 100. Of course, producer Song Man-woo and writer Choi Nana were seated at the head of the ㅁ-shaped desk.
“Next, let’s talk about the actors.”
Many of the actors were new and unknown. Among them, the ones that stand out the most are Hwarin, Ha Kang-soo, and A-list actors wearing hats. Of course, the cute but gloomy Im Hae-eun and the refreshing Jo Moo-chan who joined this time were also seen, but they too were unknown in the end.
The key thing in the script reading room where so many people gather.
“Kang Woo-jin, who played the role of ‘Jang Yeon-woo.’”
“Hello, this is Kang Woo-jin. I will leave it up to you.”
Although it has only been 2 years since his debut, Kang Woo-jin is the best in Korea in terms of influence and influence that has already made a mark on the world.
He started his career as ‘Jang Yeon-woo’ of ‘Beneficial Evil’.
Tens of hours later.
Domestic media began to publish articles related to ‘beneficial evil’.
『[Photo] Netflix’s ‘Beneficial Evil’ actors, including Kang Woo-jin, gathered together to read the script/Photo』
『The script reading for ‘Beneficial Evil’, which will target ‘the whole world’, ended successfully. Kang Woo-jin’s lead shone.』
Exactly 4 days later, on Friday the 17th.
There are only three days left until the ‘Beneficial Evil’ team’s first overseas location filming.
-Drur!
Kang Woo-jin, who had just finished his photoshoot schedule, picked up his cell phone as soon as he got into the van. The same was true for ponytail Choi Seong-geon. The time is around 4 PM. Woojin was very conceptual and full of indifference, but he was nervous on the inside.
‘The Cannes Film Festival announcement must have already started!’
In terms of time, it will be afternoon in Korea, but morning in France, and the Cannes Film Festival will be announcing the officially invited films in France.
-Sure.
Therefore, Woojin accessed YouTube. Since the link had already been shared, it didn’t take long to see the video. The real-time video that Woojin turned on showed the head of the executive committee, the representative figure of the Cannes Film Festival. He was a balding foreigner and was being baptized by flashlight, and he was calmly announcing the 20 works that passed the ‘competition section’ into the microphone.
These are the main works that will shine at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.
‘Fortunately, the presentation of the work has started now.’
Kang Woo-jin focused on the video. French was spoken from the mouth of the executive chairman of the Cannes Film Festival in France. The first movie was announced. It was a French movie. The second is Japan. The third is Germany. Then England. It is announced continuously. I’ve already passed the 15th work. Sai Japan was called once more. But it was still Korea.
yet.
’19th!’
The presentation has almost reached its end. However, the 19th film was also French. Woojin almost cursed for a moment.
‘Oh Shiva!’
But he somehow maintained his solemnity.
At this time.
[“The 20th film invited to the ‘Competition Category’. ‘Leech’ by South Korean director Ga-bok Ahn.”]
At the end, ‘Leech’ was called.
End
