I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 333
I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 333
Many staff members gathered around Kang Woo-jin. About 6 people. Three people removed Woojin’s blood and scorch, and the remaining three touched up his makeup and hair again. It was a long take scene that lasted for 8 minutes, but unfortunately, there was an NG, so it had to be filmed again.
It is essential to restore the original appearance.
Meanwhile, the female staff members attached to Woojin continued to make a fuss. Because what they saw just before was not something they could easily experience.
“Wow – Woojin! very awesome!!”
“Totally!! “I thought I was watching a real Hollywood movie!”
“that’s right!! “The sense of urgency and excitement was crazy!!”
“How can you do martial arts like that? Are you good at action??!”
Among the staff, there were people with a lot of experience, but even to them, Kang Woo-jin’s long takes and ‘CQC’ were amazing. Of course, Kang Woo-jin had remained cynical from before. Look at your surroundings and what you have just seen. What a good environment to act strong.
“I just did a lot of reconstruction using my imagination.”
Imagination? Does this make sense? Words like this continued. It was also contagious to Kang Woo-jin. Inside, of course.
‘It was really fun, seriously! How about a gun? You really shot several times more than when you were in the military, right?? Shooting guns is fucking hilarious.’
Compared to the real thing, it may be a little lacking, but it is still almost similar to the real thing, so I am satisfied.
About this way.
“…Special forces?”
The group of foreigners, including Joseph and Meghan, were in shock. No, it was clearly an illusion. A fat executive from ‘Universal Movies’ asked back what he heard from big-nosed Ethan Smith. Pointing with your index finger at Kang Woo-jin above you.
“Are you saying that actor is from the special forces?”
“That’s right.”
Ethan, the stunt coordinator for ‘Beneficial Evil’, became the host of the misunderstanding and was spreading it in real time. The scene was so hectic and the conversation itself was conducted in fluent English, so no one paid any attention. A conversation between just over 20 Hollywood personalities.
“Special forces…”
Here, Joseph and Megan did not react much. Because I’ve already heard it before. However, the stunt team brought in by Joseph and executives from Hollywood film companies were quite surprised. To them, Ethan calmly recited what had happened in the past. It was the first time I saw Woojin at Action School.
The explanation is roughly 5 minutes.
At this time, the executives at the film studio opened their mouths one by one, perhaps understanding Kang Woo-jin’s outrageous skills and abilities.
“Indeed – so I can do action and ‘CQC’ freely.”
“For some reason, I didn’t feel like I had practiced things like how to hold a gun or my posture. Did you see the movement during the long take? “It really felt like an agent running in the field!”
Among them, a senior executive asked thoughtfully. The gaze is towards Giant Joseph.
“So he is. “Is Kang Woo-jin a professional action actor?”
Ethan was quick to answer.
“no.”
Additional explanation was provided by Megan, who swept her brown bob hair.
“I told you that this is Kang Woo-jin’s first time filming an action film.”
“…Ah, just in case, I asked again.”
Giant Joseph joined in, recalling Kang Woo-jin’s acting.
“In fact, you can’t take your eyes off his long take scenes or actions, but the method acting that Kang Woo-jin implements is even more overwhelming.”
At that moment, the eyes of all executives at ‘Universal Movies’ widened.
“Method? His acting method is called method??”
“yes. He makes any role his own and shows it in real life. “I’m confident it will be absurd because I did it.”
Has Joseph, one of the greatest producers in Hollywood, ever praised you so highly? He was stingy even with popular Hollywood actors. Joseph continued speaking.
“And you can see Kang Woo-jin’s work at Cannes this year.”
“Cannes? “Are you saying you received a nomination?”
“that’s right. ‘Leech’ among the ‘competition’ at Cannes this year. The male lead in that movie is Kang Woo-jin. For your information, that ‘leech’ is the only Korean movie.”
The expectations of those who were already dazzled by Kang Woo-jin’s action rose significantly. You can see this outrageous Korean actor’s unique acting at the Cannes Film Festival, the best international film festival.
‘I see, I understand why Joseph stopped by here before going to Cannes. From the beginning, his entire plan was Kang Woo-jin.’
‘It was nominated in the ‘competitive category’ – there were rumors that this year’s Cannes was crowded with a lot of works and was quite crowded. Does that ‘leech’ mean that the quality of the work is significant?’
Not only Joseph and Megan, but the mood of the entire group of foreigners here has changed completely from the beginning. If at first it was the evaluator’s gaze, now it was clearly the audience. Kang Woo-jin I want to see acting other than the ridiculous action scenes of this actor. It was just that kind of expression.
Soon, the leader of the stunt team brought by Joseph slowly surveyed the entire scene of ‘Beneficial Evil’.
PD Song Man-woo is chatting with the key staff. Dozens of staff members are busy re-filming. Thai actors return to their respective seats. Even Kang Woo-jin changes his clothes after finishing touching up his makeup.
He muttered softly as the 8-minute long take scene he saw earlier was repeated over and over again.
“It’s surprising that it went on for 8 minutes without interruption, but if you look at the overall quality, it’s not much different from what’s done in Hollywood. “Is this the level of Korean work these days?”
Joseph pointed to Ethan next to him.
“Ethan’s joining may have been a great help, but the quality of current Korean works is actually quite high. But what really raised the level to the extreme was.”
-Sigh.
He marks the top with his index finger. We see a silent Kang Woo-jin checking his firearm.
“I guess it’s because there’s an actor who looks like that alien.”
Meanwhile, Miley Kara, with her blonde hair down, was also looking up at Kang Woo-jin. For some reason, a smile was spreading across her lips.
‘I’m so excited that I’m already looking forward to seeing his work at Cannes – this makes me so excited.’
Then she imagined something as she pleased. This is Kang Woo-jin in front of tens of thousands of people who will flock to Cannes, including world-renowned filmmakers and actors, rather than the 200 or so people present here, including Hollywood figures.
‘Why do I get shivers?’
General director Kim So-hyang, standing to her right, was also excited. After Kim So-hyang looked at the excited expressions of Joseph and other Hollywood figures.
“That’s Okay.”
“to??”
“Even those flying and crawling people in Hollywood are making a fuss. “That means.”
I muttered softly to writer Nana Choi.
“It means that ‘beneficial evil’ is working globally.”
About an hour later.
Gunshots were fired excessively around the abandoned factory and abandoned building where the long cake filming for ‘Beneficial Evil’ was in full swing.
-Tang tang tang tang!!
Filming had already been going on for roughly three hours. The filming time for the long take itself was a little over 10 minutes, but the reason why filming continued for over 3 hours was simple. It was a reshoot with NG.
This is the 4th time.
Because a lot of people, equipment, and props are involved, if an NG occurs, it takes a lot of time to get it back to the beginning. Which scene wouldn’t be like this? Especially long takes, where more effort is put into setting up than pure filming.
Of course, Kang Woo-jin did not give an NG.
“Cut!!”
“sorry!!”
“are you okay! Let’s go again!!”
The Thai actor couldn’t get the timing right, the cinematographer working on Woojin got stuck, there was a problem with the prop gun, etc. No matter how much we checked, there were numerous variables in filming. Nevertheless, there is no trick to long takes. If you get an NG, you have to start again from the beginning.
Slowly, hundreds of staff members began to cry.
“Wow, he’s dead.”
“Are you okay? “The long take is several times harder than I thought.”
“I know yeah. “It feels like I’m going through some kind of game quest.”
Not only the filming team carrying heavy cameras, but also the sound team, makeup team, art team, and many others. As NG continued, I was keenly feeling the pain of long take filming. However, the main character, Kang Woo-jin, was really cool.
“It’s been a little over 3 hours now, right? But why doesn’t Woojin have the same facial expression as when he started??”
“Right? But Woojin was like that even when he was playing Hanryang.”
“Is this the same as that? You shoot, roll, run, and do all sorts of things for three hours. “But I’m fine alone. I’m alone.”
No, it was only from the staff’s perspective. Kang Woo-jin, who had started preparing for re-shooting, was feeling quite tired.
‘The intensity of filming was so intense that I couldn’t have done this without Ah Space. ‘You’re so annoying that I’m going to maintain the quality of the concept.’
Still, thanks to the grace of sub-space, I am maintaining my sanity. Anyway, in general, the entire staff of ‘Beneficial Evil’ maintained a keen sense of tension. Not only was the difficulty of filming high, but there was also the risk of accidents lurking at every moment. That’s why the expression on PD Song Man-woo’s face was always serious. The same goes for the onlookers around you.
At this time.
“action!!”
Long take filming resumed again.
-Bang bang bang!!
A hail of gunshots. And ear-splitting screams.
“Kyaaaaa!!”
“Aaaah!!”
Kang Woo-jin and the camera walked around the abandoned building as one. Repetitive filming was hard, but it was practice. Gradually, everyone’s skills improve, and the movement progresses without difficulty until it reaches approximately 7 minutes.
Eventually, Kang Woo-jin, his gray T-shirt covered in blood with an AK47 rifle strapped to his shoulder, reached the end room of the second floor of the abandoned building.
-Park!!
As soon as you kick in the door.
“Yeaaaaaaa!”
The two rush in. A gang member holding a long knife. One by the door and one in front. Woojin’s gaze is to the side rather than the front. A knife flies into the face. Kang Woo-jin bows down.
-Kang!
The knife hit the wall. Two short gunshots. The bullet passed through the neck and face of the guy next to me. Pick falls down. The guy in front of me who was running towards me was embarrassed. He stopped and ran away.
– Bang bang bang!
There were two holes in the back of my head. There was no way Woojin, who was slightly out of breath, would let him go. He wipes the blood from his face. From the front of the camera to the side. Woojin searched the room after checking the bullets in the AK47 rifle. I found a child with his hands and feet tied and a cloth over his face in the corner of the bathroom. As I removed the cloth, I saw a happy face.
“check.”
It was the daughter of the drug lord he was looking for. The problem is that the child has fainted. Fortunately, it was dry and didn’t seem that heavy.
“Tsk!”
Kang Woo-jin clicked his tongue. AK47 rifles can no longer be used. Because I had to hold the child in one hand. When Woojin took out the Glock 17 pistol from his waist.
“%)(&%@*&)*@~!!!!”
The shouts of the gang members were heard again.
“There are so many fucking things. Where is it produced? “I think it’s fun.”
Woojin, a smile spreading across his lips as he spoke briefly, wrapped the girl around his left waist. The child was mushy because he had fainted. I can’t go to the door. It would be easier if both hands were free, but holding a child could cause an accident. Woojin turned his gaze toward the window. I looked down and saw the silver car I was driving in. close.
“oh.”
An iron ladder attached to a window.
-Papak!
Woojin kicked out the window and immediately reached for the ladder. Quickly settle down on the first floor. I sat the child in the passenger seat of the car and fastened the belt. Before I knew it, the camera was on the filming truck on the rear rail. As soon as Kang Woo-jin got into the driver’s seat, he immediately stepped on the accelerator.
-Boo!!
A silver car drove by with a harsh exhaust sound. From here it’s a car chase. In other words, it was a chase. Woojin’s car is ahead, and the truck carrying the camera is behind. After running for about 10 seconds, Woojin passed an abandoned building and reached an abandoned factory.
At this time.
-Tang tang tang tang!!
-Woooooo!!
Three cars appeared along with gunshots. 2 vans and 1 car. The cars of gang members near the factory. A camera that takes pictures of a total of 4 cars from the rear, including Ujin. The cars, tossing and turning, entered the entrance of the village.
I could see the city.
Woojin’s car, which was running, suddenly hit the brakes.
-Geekigeek!!
It was because of another car belonging to a gang member who had already camped in the middle of the road. The car that Kang Woo-jin was riding in quickly reversed. Turn the car with smoke coming from the wheels. And then.
-Bang bang bang!!
Woojin, who came out the window, opened the window of the car behind him and the car, which was staggering, crashed into the building right next to it. A truck carrying cameras arrived before the cars chasing him. The camera naturally got out of the truck and climbed into the backseat of Woojin’s car. At the same time, the car drove down the alley.
The camera alternately captured Kang Woo-jin driving rough and the fainting girl in the passenger seat.
The shaking vibration was clearly captured on camera.
The alley was quite long. A few tens of seconds to escape. A cloud of dust gathers behind. Woojin quickly turned the steering wheel. turn right. The cars were slippery and changed direction with difficulty. A shaky camera filmed the back. Two vans chase through the dust.
Camera front again.
at the same time.
-bang!!
The car shook violently. It seems like it will turn over. No, the car was spinning. During the crazy angle, Woojin was caught biting his molars. The car barely stopped vibrating. The camera that was filming Kang Woo-jin’s side quickly came out. The two motorcycles blocking Woojin’s car were smashed. Kang Woo-jin also got out of the car.
I hid myself. Grab the Glock 17.
“Whoo-”
The van I was chasing stopped one after another. About four people got off. The guy with the AK47 rifle came running first. A gunshot rang out.
– Bang bang!!
It’s not his, it’s Kang Woo-jin’s. The head of the one running was cut off. The camera is behind Woojin’s back. Once again, shell casings flew out of the Glock 17. Two more steps. My face exploded. One more guy fell down.
At this time.
“Ugh!!”
One guy clung to Woojin’s side. He swung a short sword. Kang Woo-jin quickly grabs the guy’s wrist with his left hand.
“Whoosh!”
I stuck it on the car door. Bang bang. Two shots to the chest. Blood was splashing all over my face. I heard breathing from my right. It’s a different guy. Woojin grabbed the muzzle of the AK47 rifle. Twist slightly to the side.
-bang! Ta-da-da-da-tang!
An excited gang member fired his gun. There was a hole in the car door. My ears are ringing. Ignoring Woojin, he raised his AK47 rifle into the sky. Low kick to the knee. They fell down together and Woojin put the gun to his chest.
-Tang tang tang tang!!
My heart exploded. Blood spurted out. I took two steps away from Woojin, who suddenly got up with his camera covered in dust.
“Huh!”
Kang Woo-jin sees a corpse with his head resting on the car door. I saw something hanging on my waist. 2 grenades. Woojin soon kicked the body and pulled the unconscious girl out of the car.
And then.
– Fighting.
Two grenades were thrown into the passenger seat. Kang Woo-jin, who was carrying the girl, wiped the blood from his face. I packed the AK47 rifle on the floor. He took out an earphone radio from his pocket, put it on his ear, and muttered in low English.
“I need a car.”
Kang Woo-jin was smiling.
The camera that filmed him from the front. Kang Woo-jin passes by the camera. The camera did not chase Woojin, but continued to film the car full of white smoke with corpses piled up there.
It was at that moment. The grenade exploded and the car exploded.
-Quaaaaaang!!!
It was the finale of a long take.
End
