I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 383
Episode 383 Overwhelming (12)
When the name of the best actor of the year was called at the Grand Bell Awards.
“Best Actor!! Congratulations! Kang Woo-jin from ‘Leech’!!”
Kang Woo-jin, who was focused on by numerous cameras rising from his seat, had a very calm face. It was the same when handshakes and congratulations poured in from surrounding actors and officials. Woojin calmly walked onto the stage with a look of indifference on his face.
“……”
There is no spirit. My eyes were dazzling. My ears were ringing. I was thirsty. Adrenaline exploded. A tingling sensation spread to my hands and feet. My heartbeat accelerated. My field of vision is narrow.
However, his concept was solid.
Around this time, Kang Woo-jin, who was walking to the stage, noticed.
‘2 years – no, soon the 3rd year. I came this far without knowing anything. Best actor? I still feel a sense of reality, but…it’s not difficult to stand here.’
Before I knew it, I was used to this jungle-like entertainment industry. It seems like only yesterday that I lived as a small citizen who never read a script, but now I don’t feel awkward receiving rave reviews from this magnificent stage, gorgeous lights, and amazing actors. I guess I got used to it. Because I’ve been through so many things.
But Woojin did not lose his original intention.
This was possible because he had a separate personality.
‘still! Ugh – I feel embarrassed because all the famous actors are staring at me. How many more years will I have to get used to this??
What can I say, the major domestic film festivals were more awkward for Kang Woo-jin than Cannes. Overseas, they are world stars, global super top actors, and although they are unfamiliar faces to Woojin, here, there are actors all over the world that he knows very well. Stars who were only seen on TV or in movie theaters in the past were now giving passionate applause to Kang Woo-jin.
However, the more it happened, the harder Woojin became.
Before going on stage, even after going on stage, Kang Woo-jin’s poker face did not waver at all. Hundreds of actors who saw this were amazed.
“You’re not smiling at all, Mr. Woojin. “It was like that in Blue Dragon, right?”
“Are you not satisfied?”
“Wow, after winning the Best Actor award at Cannes for the first time, even a 20 million movie won was not enough, so you swept all the Best Actor awards in Korea that year??”
“They probably have a completely different mindset from us. “Woojin was in that mood when he won the Best Actor Award at Cannes.”
Because the aura of the alien in front of me was once again amazing. Even though the impossible was made possible in just two years.
“For some reason… I wonder if they are saying this is of a different level.”
“It’s a fantasy, honestly, I don’t believe it even though I’m seeing it with my own eyes.”
“If you’re already thinking about going to Hollywood, how can a domestic trophy be in your sights?”
Because Kang Woo-jin was looking higher now.
But this was an illusion.
Kang Woo-jin, who stood in front of the standing microphone after receiving the trophy and bouquet, said,
‘Ha-I like the Nam Joo Award, but I really crave sweets. The after-party should be just plain fun.’
Because I was full of thoughts of jumping home without looking further up.
A few hours later.
Kang Woo-jin arrived home around midnight. After the Grand Bell Awards, of course, the spotlight of the hundreds of reporters gathered was focused on Woojin. Huge questions and flashes. Woojin, who responded to them appropriately, returned home immediately without attending the Grand Bell Awards or the BW Entertainment after-party.
As soon as he enters the living room, he stretches out.
“Keueuuuu!!”
The concept I had been wearing all day was easily erased. Suddenly a smile spread on his face. Because I was looking at the trophies listed on the shelf in the living room. The Best Actor trophy from the Grand Bell Awards was just added, so it was quite a sight to see.
“How many are these?”
It felt like a medal. Kang Woo-jin collected awards right after his debut, and last year, he received more than 8 awards, including the Rookie of the Year Award and the Supporting Actor Award. This year, although there were fewer awards than last year, there were only main actor awards. Among these, the one that stands out the most is the trophy from the Cannes Film Festival.
Soon, Woojin crossed his arms as he looked at the trophies that had grown enormously. It’s a bonus that your smile gets deeper.
“We have conquered Korea and Cannes – is Hollywood really the only thing left?”
Woojin had already produced absurd results, but he was not yet at the top. There is always a stomach above. The world’s most prestigious award ceremonies still remain. A place where real monsters flock. I can’t guarantee the future yet, but it seemed like Woojin could do anything now.
“Just like you said. “Simply.”
Kang Woo-jin, who had clearly stamped himself as the best actor in Korea today, muttered to himself and turned around. Then, with a leisurely hand gesture, he took something out.
“First, let’s start with the first bowl.”
It was bowl noodles.
Afterwards.
Kang Woo-jin, who chose bowl noodles for a late-night snack, picked up his cell phone after pouring hot water.
“Let’s see-”
I was curious about the current state of the media. I experienced it last year too, but isn’t the situation different this year? Naturally, the Internet was abuzz with news about the year-end + film festival.
『In the second year, both Cannes Blue Dragon Grand Bell Awards won Best Actor… a unique move achieved by Kang Woo-jin』
『[Star Photo] Kang Woo-jin, who was called ‘Best Actor’ at the ‘Grand Bell Awards’, calmly goes to the stage/ Photo』
To be exact, is it Kang Woo-jin’s solo stage?
『Last year, he swept the Rookie of the Year Award, the Supporting Actor Award, and this year, the Best Actor Award… Will Kang Woo-jin really advance to the Academy Awards next year?』 This
was because Woo-jin created a legend with his absurd records. Exclusive male actor awards at major domestic film festivals, starting from Cannes. Plus the first results of the events in between. Since all of this was accomplished in just one year, the media was bound to go crazy.
『Kang Woo-jin, a monster actor who is worthy of being named ‘Korean actor of all time’ from the ‘Korean movie of all time’ to the first ‘Korean actor of all time’… He did not forget to drop a bombshell in his acceptance speech this year as well』
Public opinion was not much different. Wherever you look, including YouTube and SNS communities, Woojin was the main character. The moment he received the award, he gave a simple acceptance speech and walked leisurely on the red carpet. A surprise announcement that we will not forget this year. As of now, Kang Woo-jin could become a hot topic just by breathing.
Note that.
『The end of this year is a celebration party for the ’20 million’ movies ‘Island of the Missing’ and ‘Leech’!』 As
everyone expected, this year’s film festival was dominated by ‘Island of the Missing’ and ‘Leech’. The two films dominated the awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay. But no one rebelled. Beyond their deserved achievements, these are two works that rewrote the history of the Korean film industry.
Of course, at the center of it all was Kang Woo-jin, who will now be entering his third year.
Meanwhile.
While the entire country was excited about the end of the year or film festivals, a large film-related community was shaking about something else.
-[If making a live-action version of The Beast and Beauty is a big deal, how can they make the Beast? LOL Is it CG??] –
[If Hollywood makes a real Beast and cast him as an actor]
-[It might just be a joke, but if they make a live-action version of The Beast and Beauty, there will be a lot of adaptations. I wish they didn’t do it]
-[I agree with the post below. If you see Disney’s live-action film being a flop, then go ahead and make an adaptation]
It was ‘The Beast and Beauty’ that was suddenly thrown at me a few days ago.
The starting point was a post by a netizen living in LA. It was a simple article that said, ‘I heard a rumor, and the Beast and the Beauty is currently being prepared for a live-action adaptation,’ but later, this article attracted an enormous amount of profanity. As a result of the fire for a few days, most of the posts coming up every hour are related to the live-action adaptation of ‘Beast and Beauty.’
-[Jepra…I wish the Beast and Beauty actors would get tired of synchronization]
-[No, it’s not confirmed yet, it’s just an official official lol Why are they accepting it as an official???]
Of course, there was a possibility that it was a rumor or nonsense, but a netizen said that he lives in LA. By uploading this proof shot, trust was increased. It was a business card. This proves that he is working in the Hollywood film industry.
-[It has been confirmed that there are rumors going around in Hollywoodㅇㅇ]
-[Has this been said once or twice with bullshit? LOL] The
live-action adaptation of ‘Beast and Beauty’, which emerged as a very hot topic, was initially met with controversy, but is now completely different. It was flowing in that direction.
-[My own version of the Beast and the Beauty virtual casting plan.JPG] A
virtual casting board related to the live-action adaptation of ‘The Beast and the Beauty’ has begun to circulate in the community. ‘The Beast and Beauty’ was so famous that everyone started assigning their favorite Hollywood and foreign actors to the roles. There were completely different actors, but there were also many overlapping actors.
-[I saw the virtual casting haha. I thought Miley Kara was the beauty Bella]
-[Seriously, Miley Kara is perfect. Jack Pettyfer looks good as the Beast]
-[Natalie Theron is cheaper than Miley Kara]
-[But the Beast is better. There won’t be a big problem if someone captures it, but the beautiful Bella absolutely has to be blonde]
-[The No. 1 anime of my memories is being made into a live-action film… My heart is pounding… Come out quickly…]
-[No, it’s not confirmed haha. Haha]
Who is perfect for the role of ‘Beast’? Who is perfect for the role of ‘Beautiful Bella’? Top Hollywood actors with both singing and acting skills were mentioned. Among them, Miley Cara was often seen. However, of course, no one mentioned the name of a Korean actor, not even Kang Woo-jin.
-[Can’t Asian actors join at all??]
-[LOL I guess they could appear in something like Villager 1 LOL]
Who could have predicted that? Kang Woo-jin was secretly included in the role of ‘Beast’ in ‘Beast and Beauty’. It was not at a level where predictions and guesswork were possible. In the first place, in the live-action films produced so far by ‘World Disney Pictures’, there has never been an Asian actor in the lead role, although there have been supporting roles and lower roles.
The funny thing here is.
-[Right now, there are rumors going around in the Korean film community that The Beast and the Beauty will be made into a live-action film?]
-[Ehh? Really??!]
-[I really like Beast and Beauty! Are the rumors of a live-action adaptation really true??!]
-[There’s no information in the Hollywood article? I think it’s just a rumor]
Rumors of a live-action adaptation of ‘Beast and Beauty’ have spread beyond Korea to Japan. Likewise, it was centered around communities and SNS. Although it is closer to a shaded area than a sunny area, ‘The Beast and the Beauty’ is popular in Japan as well. As the work is a work of art, I was immediately drawn to Aggro.
However, Korea and Japan were weak.
Hollywood. That is, the United States, including LA. Rumors were spreading in Korea and Japan. In other words, there was a lot of noise in the United States long ago. Even the scale is naturally different. Numerous communities in the U.S. were already considering rumors of a live-action adaptation of ‘Beast and Beauty’ as a given, and virtual casting was also rampant.
-The role of the Beast must be played by Miley Cara, who plays the role of Brad Depp’s beauty, Belle. It has to be two or two.
Of course, Korean actors were not mentioned at all.
Early morning on December 21st.
A man wearing long padding and a hat pulled down entered a movie theater in Seoul. I even wore a mask. All colors are unified in black. A man who had just gotten off the elevator checked the time on his cell phone.
-Sigh.
I looked around the movie theater lobby. Even though it was a weekday morning, there were quite a few people. There are only a few dozen people visible in the lobby. People chewing popcorn or watching commercials on large TVs.
“Wow, this is my first time seeing a Japanese movie.”
“But doesn’t this movie feel like it’s not a Japanese movie? “Is it because of Kang Woo-jin?”
“Kang Woo-jin will act in Japanese, right?”
“Of course you crazy guy, you clearly say your lines in Japanese even in the trailer.”
“It’s so fucking unique. Gaejiri is when a Korean actor appears as the lead in a Japanese movie.”
While waiting for the movie to watch soon, we were all busy expressing our feelings.
“I heard this has over 20 million views in Japan?”
“Hmm, 23 million?”
“You’re crazy. I think I got a lot of criticism at first because the Japanese kids had good reviews – but in the end, they just chewed it out.”
“Oppa, did you see what Kang Woo-jin said yesterday after winning the Namjoo Award?”
“I think I saw it in an article.”
“Ha-I want to see Kang Woo-jin make a Hollywood movie soon.”
Meanwhile, a few people glanced at the man dressed in black and wearing long padding, but they didn’t pay much attention to it. Similarly, there were people who came alone, and because it was the height of winter, it was common for people to wear masks.
Several dozen minutes passed like that.
The title of the movie to enter appeared on the monitor leading to the theater.
-‘The Strange Sacrifice of a Stranger’/ Hall 7.
It was a JoJo movie and it was the first screening of ‘The Stranger.’ It was natural. Today, the 21st, is the first day that ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’ is officially released in Korea. Around this time, a man wearing a long black padding entered the theater alone. When he saw the hundreds of audience seats, he let out a small exclamation.
“Oh-”
Even though it was JoJo, more than half of the audience seats were full. A little surprised, he quickly found his place. The last digit before the middle. As soon as the man sat down, advertisements began to appear on the large screen. This means that ‘Unfamiliar Gisaeng’ is about to be screened in Korea.
That moment.
-Ugh.
The cell phone inside the man’s long padding rang. The man took out his cell phone and checked it, intending to change it to silent mode. What arrived was Tok.
-CEO: Woojin, are you resting well? I’m thinking of going to sleep, so I’m leaving a message for now. I just received a confirmation call from Columbia Studios.
-Representative: Audition and screen test are on January 25th, and I think we can leave around the 20th.
The opponent was CEO Seong-gun Choi.
-CEO: And we also received an email from Disney. The nominated actors for ‘The Beast and Beauty’ have been confirmed.
