I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 360
I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 360
Will Miley Kara appear in a Korean production? In response to what the male reporter wearing a hat said, the female reporter immediately asked back, brushing her long hair with a perm.
“Are you kidding me?”
The male reporter shrugged his shoulders. The female reporter who was staring at him for a moment narrowed her eyes and then smiled.
“If you made me laugh, you succeeded. This is the most absurd joke of the year.”
Treated as a joke. It was worth it. Miley Cara was already one of the top five ultra stars in the world. Even in both acting and singing fields. Even her recently released new album is dominating the Billboard charts. Who would believe that a superstar with such influence would suddenly appear in a Korean work?
However, the male reporter wearing the hat repeated the joke.
“I’m sorry, Peggy, I didn’t mean to make you laugh.”
“Then what? Why are you saying such nonsense? I’m busy.”
The male reporter lifted the tablet in one hand and handed it to her.
“I think it’s ridiculous too, but for some reason, rumors about Miley Kara are spreading rapidly in Korea and on social media.”
“……”
The smile on her face disappeared and the female reporter’s brows furrowed again. Then she lowered her gaze to the tablet she received. When I looked, it contained translated Korean articles and posts from social media by a male reporter. Most of these were posted by Kara’s fans. The title of the Korean article was like this.
『’Miley Kara’ in the ‘Beneficial Evil’ shooting photo that suddenly exploded! As expected, the appearance was confirmed due to the relationship with Kang Woo-jin?』
Most of the articles collected by the male reporter had similar headlines. Moreover, content similar to the article was added to SNS posts posted by Kara’s fans. Everyone spoke a little differently, but the main point was this.
Is our Miley Kara participating in a Korean production?
The female reporter who was scanning the content swept her long, permed hair again. This time I was serious. Soon a male reporter added an explanation.
“I haven’t confirmed everything, but there is a lot of noise about this on Korean social media and communities. However, it hasn’t been long since it turned red, so Hollywood is still quiet.”
“…I’m embarrassed. Why is this rumor suddenly going around?”
In response to the question, the male reporter raised his index finger and flipped through the tablet screen held by the female reporter. A photo that appears to be the shooting site is printed.
“The filming location for a Korean production called ‘Beneficial Evil’ was located overseas in Bangkok. After looking into it, it looks like it’s being produced as a Netflix original. Anyway, this male actor here is Kang Woo-jin.”
“Kang Woo-jin – Winner of the Best Actor Award at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.”
“Yes, Peggy, you were dumbfounded when you saw his acceptance speech, which was similar to his declaration of war that he would aim for an Academy Award next year.”
“know. “As soon as the Cannes Film Festival ended, there were a lot of articles related to it, and there was already a lot of talk in Hollywood.”
The male reporter nodded as if he already knew and moved his index finger.
“The reason the rumor spread is because of this blonde woman.”
“…She definitely looks like Miley Kara.”
“I think it surfaced after this cut was leaked. You know, right? Kang Woo-jin also participated in Miley Kara’s album this time. In the past, when she went to Korea, she appeared on Kang Woo-jin’s YouTube channel.”
“There were frequent two-shots in this section as well.”
“Isn’t it useful? “I owe you something from last time, and I’ll give this one to you, Peggy.”
The female reporter looked down at the blonde woman on the tablet again. Currently, Miley Kara is hot all over the world. Although she appeared at Cannes, the response to her new album, which swept the Billboard charts, was so explosive.
This means that Miley Kara’s news is selling very well right now.
Soon, the female reporter who was standing pulled out her chair again, sat down, and opened her laptop. Then I asked the male reporter next to me, who had his butt on the desk, again.
“Kang Woo-jin, Miley Kara- Oh, the title of that Korean work is ‘Beneficial Evil’?”
It was a sign that ‘beneficial evil’ would spread overseas.
after.
Kang Woo-jin, who was on the set of ‘Beneficial Evil’, was on standby for 10 minutes. The team members around him were all looking at their phones. To be precise, we are confirming the reactions that are occurring simultaneously in Korea and Japan.
“brother! ‘Leech’ audience number was 780,000! 780,000!!”
“it’s crazy! How much did ‘Island of the Missing’ come out on the first day???”
“About 700,000!”
“omg!! “80,000 more??!”
“Will the all-time record be broken again with ‘Leech’?!”
“Wow, no matter how much publicity the Cannes Film Festival has, it attracted 780,000 people on a weekday…awesome.”
“What about the ‘unfamiliar parasite’? “Have the results of ‘Familiar Gisaeng’ come out?”
Kang Woo-jin, who was pretending not to hear, solemnly joined in.
“880,000.”
The excitement of the stylist and other team members turned into frenzy.
“880,000!!! It’s more than the first day! uh?? “But how do you know?”
“I got a call.”
“wow! 880,000! This is a shame I’ve never seen before! The Japanese media is so damned that ‘unfamiliar parasites’ are ruined! “It looks great!”
“Hey, no matter how bad it is.”
“No, when I read the article, I got a little angry!”
That’s how ‘Familiar Gisaeng’ and ‘Leech’ were producing crazy results side by side. Until yesterday, only ‘Familiar Gisaeng’ broke records, but today both works soared through the sky. The number of audiences of 880,000 and 780,000 is more than enough to break the records of both countries.
At this time.
“Woojin!! congratulations!!”
“Wow – the number of audiences was really amazing??!”
Dozens of ‘Beneficial Evil’ staff members flocked to the silent Kang Woo-jin and poured out congratulations and praise. Some of them captured exactly what should not be forgotten.
“I’ve never even heard of something like this! Totally! “It’s crazy that a film in which I play the lead role is shown in both Korea and Japan at the same time, and both films even broke audience records!”
What the two works have in common is that Kang Woo-jin is the main character.
There has never been a case where an actor released a movie in two countries and the momentum for those movies skyrocketed. Of course, this was the first time such a situation had occurred in Korea or Japan. Woojin caused an unprecedented incident that would never happen again in both countries.
Next, all the staff predicted an incredible future.
“If both movies actually sell over 10 million, it will be a huge hit, right?”
“It’s worse than that! Woojin will just become a legend!!”
In no time, everyone was running around in unison. Except Kang Woo-jin.
“No, but Mr. Woojin! Why are you so calm after detonating a nuclear bomb like this?? “It’s so quiet!!”
It wasn’t. Kang Woo-jin had already done extreme shoulder dancing. Of course, just in my mind a few tens of minutes ago. Even now, I was filled with big smiles inside.
‘Hehe, the corner of your mouth keeps telling you to go up. Calm down, Kang Woo-jin. Calm down.’
He was dying, his heart was cooling, but the domestic media was not like that.
『[Issue Pick] Cannes Palme d’Or Award’s ‘Leech’ received 780,000 viewers on the first day of its release…Unrivaled first place at the box office!』
『’Leech’ recorded 780,000 viewers on weekdays and recorded 20 million viewers, higher on the first day than ‘Island of the Missing’!』
『’Man of Cannes’ Kang Woo-jin worked again this time. 780,000 people watched ‘Leech’ on the opening day alone!』 As
soon as the results of ‘Leech’ were announced, they flocked like dogs.
『“If this continues, it could exceed 20 million” ‘Leechee’ breaks the record by increasing the number of viewers by 780,000』
Even today, the second day of release, ‘Leechee’ is ranked first in terms of reservation rate. Therefore, the articles pouring in contain various expectations and are derived from mushrooms.
『[Movie Talk] 780,000 on the first day of release. No. 1 in box office success. Received rave reviews from audiences, Cannes Palme d’Or Award for Best Actor ‘Leech’. Is the
media’s atmosphere at its peak, but public opinion was also strong ? Clearly, the public’s expectations for ‘Leech’ were enormous. First of all, it swept the Cannes Film Festival and global giants praised the film. When expectations for a movie are high, disappointment is usually high.
However, the audience who saw ‘Leech’ was not disappointed.
“Ah, it’s a great jam, really. “I’ll have to look at it one more time.”
“Aren’t you tired of changing genres midstream? “When Kang Woo-jin completely changes his expression.”
“I looked it up and found out it was Ripley Syndrome. No, but isn’t Kang Woo-jin a fool? “What about the acting? I was mesmerized.”
“To be honest, I didn’t even see anything serious.”
“I don’t think there is any actor who can beat Kang Woo-jin in terms of acting.”
Because I experienced pleasure that exceeded my expectations.

What can I say, the local reactions to ‘leeches’ and ‘unfamiliar parasites’ were very different from each other. ‘Leech’ has been welcomed since its release, but ‘The Unfamiliar Parasite’ has been criticized since production until now.
However, the more the complaints about ‘The Unfamiliar Gisaeng’ grew and the more criticism and swear words there were, the bigger the box office success it became.
『850,000+880,000! Today, the third day of the release of “Familiar Gisaeng,” which exceeded 1.73 million copies in two days, remains unwaveringly No. 1 in advance reservation rates!』
『Controversy and complaints are actually giving strength? “It’s full of harsh criticism as an unfamiliar parasite, but it’s silently breaking records.”
The more this happened, the more mentions of Kang Woo-jin grew like crazy. The entertainment industry, actors, directors, public, media, and many others in both countries. The two countries were turned upside down, but that was not the end.
『The headline of a major New York press article: “Kang Woo-jin declares war on the Academy Awards. Miley Kara is seen in the work he is preparing for ‘Beneficial Evil’”』
Perhaps, it was having an impact all over the world.
A few days later, Sunday the 31st. L.A.
Even though the movie version in Korea and Japan was noisy, LA was quite gentle. Numerous films, small and large, belonging to LA. These films are among the top five distributors. A familiar old man was sitting in the medium-sized meeting room of the distributor. He gives off the aura of an old man sitting in the middle of a U-shaped desk.
“……”
It was director An Ga-bok, a young film with short white hair and a face full of wrinkles, silently looking out the window at the LA scenery. Of course, it wasn’t just him. The CEO and several executives of Management, to which director Gabok Ang belongs, and an interpreter were also present. 5 people including director Gabok Ang. Everyone seems to be waiting for someone.
So why is director Gabok Ang in LA and not Korea?
This is at a time when ‘Leech’ was released in Korea. It was strange timing. Normally, since ‘Leech’ was released in Korea, director Anga Bok would have to show his face here and there for publicity and marketing purposes. But he’s in Hollywood now.
At this time.
“Director.”
The slightly fat CEO of Management spoke quietly to Director Anga Bok, who was sitting next to him. I was excited when I saw the expression on his face, but it felt like he was forcing it down.
“‘Leech’ results for Saturday, yesterday, were just announced. The total number of viewers exceeded 4 million on the 4th day of release with 1.21 million viewers. It’s faster than ‘Island of the Missing.’”
“hmm.”
Director Anga Bok, who sighed briefly, asked again.
“What about the ‘unfamiliar parasite’ side?”
“They’re even more devastated than us.”
At this time.
-Rat!
The door to the closed meeting room opened, interrupting the management representative. Soon, foreigners of all kinds filed into the place. A total of 4 people. When the foreigners entered, everyone, including Director Anga Bok, who had stopped talking, stood up and shook hands and exchanged brief greetings.
“It’s an honor, Director Gabok Ang. Congratulations once again on winning the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival.”
“It was truly amazing to see you defeat the traditional Cannes tradition and win the award.”
“thank you.”
About 10 minutes later.
-Sigh.
After exchanging appropriate greetings and conversations, everyone sat down. Next, among the group of foreigners sitting across from Director Angabok, a foreign man with a bald head and glasses who looked to be in his 60s spoke to Director Angabok in English. His words were full of sincerity.
“Director, I would like to entrust the megaphone of our film to you.”
It was an offer to direct a Hollywood movie.
