I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 334
I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 334
A violent roar rang out throughout the entire filming set. The vehicle exploded. The car burst into flames, rose into the air, and landed on the ground. Of course, it flipped over due to the impact.
The camera continues to film the overturned car, spewing fire.
Then there was silence for a moment.
The scene was filled with only the noise of a burning vehicle. That was roughly a few tens of seconds. At that moment, PD Song Man-woo’s loud sign rang out throughout the scene.
“…COOOOOO!! OOOK!!!”
The first OK for the long take scene, which had been re-shot several times, was lost. That means it is complete. As soon as he heard PD Song Man-woo’s sign, the cinematographer holding the camera let out a long sigh and placed his butt on the floor.
“Uh-huh-”
He was probably the cinematographer who moved the most in the current long take after Kang Woo-jin. At the same time, dozens of nearby staff members jumped into the burning vehicle. Everyone is holding a fire extinguisher.
-Chaaaa!!
The fire in the car was quickly extinguished by several fire extinguishers. But since we had to look at the extinguished fire again, we even sprinkled water on it. Of course, people other than the staff in charge of the vehicle looked toward the abandoned building. Lots of Thai actors, props, etc. Bearded producer Song Man-woo approached the exhausted cinematographer and tapped him on the shoulder.
“great job.”
asked the out of breath cinematographer.
“I don’t have anything to do with it other than running around with a camera. Woojin did everything. “Did you choose a good picture?”
“Of course, thanks.”
Kang Woo-jin was surrounded by staff. Of course, it was the makeup team. Because I had to remove the blood and the scorch first. Woojin closed his eyes and looked calm. The world is calm despite the devastating gunfight and explosion a while ago. Of course, it was only like that on the outside.
His inner adrenaline is currently at its peak.
‘Wow, my heart is still pounding.’
Although he had already lived in ‘Jang Yeon-woo’s world through subspace, the quality of ‘beneficial evil’ realized as acting or fiction was not very bad.
About this way.
“Woojin!”
Several people caught up with Kang Woo-jin, who was fixing his makeup. The first one to reach it was ponytail Choi Seong-geon. From the beginning of filming, he was worried that Woojin might get hurt, but he managed to put a smile on his face.
“Kill, kill! “I really thought I was watching a Hollywood movie.”
Kang Woo-jin’s team members, including Han Ye-jeong, also appeared behind them. The tension was almost the same as that of CEO Seong-gun Choi, and writer Nana Choi and general director So-hyang Kim also gave a thumbs up.
“Woojin!! very awesome! I honestly held my breath!! Thank you very much! “The selection was dozens of times better than I imagined!”
“That’s right, I’m not just saying it, but it was really amazing.”
Kang Woo-jin answered lowly.
“Is that so?”
Applause soon broke out among the gathered staff. It was worth it. There were some staff members with experience in long takes, but they were very few. The long take scene I saw for the first time was truly amazing.
at that time.
-Sigh.
A blonde woman approached. It was Miley Kara. Those around Kang Woo-jin fell slightly at her appearance. Kara said to Woojin. Of course it was in English, and a slight smile appeared on my face.
“It was fantastic, right? “I felt like I was in Hollywood.”
Woojin, who was equipped with indifference, lowered his English tone.
“thank you.”
“I’m lying when I say this is my first time doing action or long takes, right?”
“This is my first time.”
“Nonsense. Who would believe that the tension is this much for the first time? “No matter how perfect the pre-practice was, it’s a miracle that a long take picture was created in less than half a day.”
okay? That would be true for the world-renowned superstar Kara, but it was nothing special to Kang Woo-jin, who did not have any particular Hollywood flair. There was one thing to do here, as always.
Be strong.
“It wasn’t particularly difficult.”
“…It’s absurd, really.”
Producer Song Man-woo, who was organizing the scene, then joined in. Next to him was a martial arts director and Ethan Smith.
“Mr. Woojin! “I killed it!!”
Among them, producer Song Man-woo led Kang Woo-jin to the monitor. Since I had selected the picture, I decided to just check it out. The long take taken on the camera monitor held by the cinematographer began to play. Many people crowded around Woojin, and Kang Woojin’s face was stiff, but inside he was exclaiming with admiration.
‘Oh – seeing this filmed again gives me a completely different feeling??’
My own rampage and the picture taken were completely different. It was a bit flashy and flashy, to say the least. And it is crude and violent. But it was also stylish. For a moment, Woojin felt the urge to watch it on a large TV instead of a small monitor.
People around him applauded and exclamated as if they felt the same way as Kang Woo-jin.
At this time.
“Mr. Woojin.”
Satisfied producer Song Man-woo asked Kang Woo-jin.
“How does it look? Do you think it’s okay?”
Woojin, who looked at the monitor, answered briefly.
“Do you feel inadequate?”
“No no no. at all. Instead, I want to go there one more time. The picture was chosen to be killed, but directors are inherently insatiable creatures. How can I do it one more time? Of course, this is entirely up to Woojin’s choice.”
Kang Woo-jin said cynically.
“No problem, as many times as you want.”
The same night in the mountains.
Darkness began to fall on the mountain. I heard the sound of an animal roaring somewhere. A small warehouse in the eerie mountains caught my eye. It wasn’t surprising that it collapsed right away, probably because it had been built a long time ago.
The inside is about 5 pyeong.
All I can see is darkness and a human shape. It was small and lying on the floor.
and.
“……”
A human figure could be seen between the trees in the forest behind the warehouse. It was Kang Woo-jin, hidden in the dark.
About this way.
-Crispy!
I heard a shout from somewhere. Kang Woo-jin curls up even more. Soon, more people appeared in front of the warehouse. At a glance, four. When I was looking at them closely.
“J(Jay).”
A woman’s voice rang softly from in front of the warehouse. Only at this time did Kang Woo-jin stand up and move his feet. A camera was attached next to him. Woojin got closer to the woman and shot the light in his hand at them. Three large men and one blonde woman wearing a bulletproof vest.
‘L’. No, it was Miley Kara.
When Woojin caught up, L put the pistol in his hand back to his waist and asked.
“The kid.”
Woojin points inside the warehouse with his index finger.
“in.”
The men and L entered the warehouse. I shined the light and looked at the girl lying on the floor. L, who had tied her blonde hair back, nodded.
“That’s right, is he really dead?”
Woojin was the last to enter the warehouse and gave a low answer.
“no.”
“Stay like this?”
“It must be medicine. “If you leave it like that, you’ll die.”
“You can’t leave it like that. “How much is this guy?”
“The situation is.”
L said to Woojin.
“There were people around. Bridges and roads leading out of the village were blocked. The key is to get out of here first. “As soon as you get out, the helicopter will be waiting.”
L or Kara, who was chanting, pulled on the blood-soaked gray T-shirt that Woojin was wearing.
“Are you hurt?”
“no.”
“…It was reckless to go alone.”
“That’s convenient.”
She sighed and gave instructions to everyone as the leader.
“You two will support with sniping from the designated positions, Jack, and you will wait at the joining point.”
“okay.”
Big men left the warehouse carrying a girl. And then L said to Kang Woo-jin.
“J (Jay), you move with me.”
“I told you it was a burden.”
L growled.
“shut up. “I can’t see you getting hurt.”
The next day, Wednesday the 22nd. Tokyo, Japan.
The location was a medium-sized editing room at Toega Film Company near Tokyo Station. This is where the editing of the movie ‘Familiar Gisaeng’ took place, and now, for some reason, it is home to the gray-haired director Kyotaro and the original author, Akari.
“……”
“……”
Representatives and executives of the ‘Toega’ film company, employees of the distribution company, and ‘unfamiliar’ actors other than Mana Kosaku were gathered there. All actors except Kang Woo-jin were visible. The number of people is roughly over 30 people. They were all staring at the largest of the many monitors in front.
A loud sound rang throughout the editing room.
-♬♪
The images of not only Kang Woo-jin but also Japanese actors crowded into this editing room were displayed on the monitor. The faces of everyone, including director Kyotaro and writer Akari, were serious and solid.
The reason was simple.
Currently, they are in the process of testing the finished product of ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’. The problem is that as the content of ‘Familiar Gisaeng’ deepens, the expressions of shock on the faces of everyone except director Kyotaro become more evident. At this point, the original author, Akari Takikawa, glanced at director Kyotaro next to him.
‘The quality is the best. 1st place among my live-action works. But… didn’t you edit it too without hesitation??’
The Japanese actors could not take their eyes off the monitor.
‘You really decided to pick me.’
‘Is it okay? In a situation where the media and public opinion are already very noisy, if it gets thrown out like this… I don’t know.’
Among them, Mana Kosaku, who played the role of detective Mochio Yoshizawa, who collided head-on with Woojin’s ‘Kiyoshi Iyota’, was smiling slightly. It was a smile of satisfaction.
‘Detective Mochio is also a detective – but you chose the character Kiyoshi amazingly.’
At least in the eyes of Japan’s top actor Mana Kosaku, it was an all-time high.
Meanwhile.
The Cannes Film Festival, a global film festival, is about a week away. It has been like this before, but now there is an uproar all over the world. This was the case for everyone involved with the Cannes Film Festival. Because the Cannes Film Festival is just around the corner.
Foreign media often covered the Cannes Film Festival.
『The Cannes Film Festival opens on the 30th! “This year is more intense than any other year. There are a lot of star directors heading to Cannes!” The
Cannes Film Festival was often mentioned in Hollywood, which is said to be the pinnacle of the global film industry.
“This compartment is quite noisy.”
“I heard that there were more works than last year, and many prestigious directors participated. Moreover, it looks like Khan put a lot of effort into inviting people. “A lot of star actors from around the world, as well as highly influential directors and officials, were listed.”
“Haha, I guess they’re trying to make up for last year’s mistakes. “There was controversy here and there.”
“You don’t want to miss out on first place among the world’s top three international film festivals.”
“Is that why the main ‘competition section’ was chosen so diversely? “There was even a Korean work.”
“Oh really?”
“hmm. It’s a work directed by Gabok Ang. He is also a director who has often produced results at Cannes.”
Of course, the film versions of each country nominated for this Cannes, including France, the home of the Cannes Film Festival, Germany, and the United Kingdom, were almost similar to Hollywood.
“You have to make hotel reservations in advance. Last year, I let my guard down and had to sleep in my car for a day because the accommodations near Cannes were full.”
“yes. This time, I have to be more careful since I have to be there two days before the opening.”
“In particular, since more countries are participating in Cannes this year than last year, the number of participants will inevitably explode compared to last year or the year before. There will be many from Asia, including India, Japan, and Korea.”
“Korea was included in the ‘competitive category’ this year, right? surprised. “It’s been quiet for a few years.”
“There’s a lot of talk, so it’s like Khan was forced to upload Korean works for the sake of diversity.”
“well. Korea has always produced results at the Cannes Film Festival every year – you will find out when you open the lid. Was it just for show or was it real skill?”
Japanese directors who had two works listed in the ‘competitive category’ kept director Anga Bok in check more than anyone else. As such, the eyes and ears of movie characters not only in Korea but also around the world were focused on Cannes, a city in southern France. Hundreds of people, including world-famous actors, directors, and celebrities other than sports, were expected to flock to Cannes. At this time, Nice Airport near the Cannes Film Festival is crowded with private planes of many stars.
In other words, the economic ripple effect of the Cannes Film Festival is enormous.
That’s why France itself puts a lot of effort into the Cannes Film Festival. There are well over 4,000 reporters from around the world who will attend, and the number of official invitees exceeds 20,000. But the real thing was that they were tourists who were very interested in the Cannes Film Festival. It is difficult to make an exact estimate, but if you include the spectators from all over the world who come to the Cannes Film Festival every year, hundreds of thousands of people flock to Cannes.
It was truly a grand global festival.
Therefore, competition from large corporations around the world to participate as official sponsors of Cannes was incredibly fierce. Just by being listed as an official sponsor, the global publicity effect was like a nuclear bomb.
What if there is even a small issue in this section?
Regardless of whether it was a director, a movie, an actor, or anyone else, it was clear that the impact would be beyond imagination. As such, many official attendees have already begun to settle down at the Cannes Film Festival, a festival for world filmmakers. In particular, top Hollywood actors and world-famous celebrities were quick to do so. The reason is that they use the Cannes Film Festival as an excuse to spend their vacation in Cannes, France.
And two days later, on the morning of the 24th, director Ahn Ga-bok of ‘Leech’, the only film in Korea ranked in the ‘competitive category’, appeared at Incheon Airport.
『Director Ga-bok Ang, who ‘leeched’ in the ‘competition section’ of the Cannes Film Festival, appears at Incheon Airport to go to Cannes before the opening / Photo』 To be
more precise, it was to catch a flight to France.
“Let’s go to Cannes.”
“Yes, Director.”
I was on my way to the global battlefield called the Cannes Film Festival.
