I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 416
Episode 416 Damang (5)
‘Universal Movies’ used the official SNS as an official announcement.
-[Hello, this is ‘Universal Movies.’ We bring you new news. The title of the new film directed by Danny Landis is ‘John Persona’. We ask for your interest. In addition, this is related to the male lead actor who has been talked about for a long time. We at ‘Universal Movies’ have decided to work with actor Kang Woo-jin for this ‘John Persona’. [There are a lot of expectations from him…]
The official YouTube channel and media of ‘Universal Movies’ followed suit.
『LA TIME/’Universal Movies’ “The title of the new work is ‘John Persona,’ confirming Kang Woo-jin as the male lead.”
『ABY/’Universal Movies’ announced the title of the work for the first time, and the casting rumors about Kang Woo-jin were true!』
Hollywood was immediately buzzing. It’s done. It was natural. First of all, this was the case with ‘John Persona’, the first film in which director Danny Landis did not write the script himself, but it was also because of the story of Kang Woo-jin, who had been making a lot of noise for a few weeks.
『Korean actor Kang Woo-jin confirmed to work with BBX/Director Danny Landis! 3 of Hollywood’s ‘Big Five’ confirmed, setting a new record』
‘Columbia Studios’ and ‘World Disney Pictures’, followed by ‘Universal Movies’. Kang Woo-jin took on the role of the male lead in the new films of three major Hollywood film companies. That was almost at the same time as Woojin appeared in Hollywood.
There has never been an actor in Hollywood who achieved such a feat.
As a Korean actor who set such an incredible record, it was a natural trend for the overseas public, including foreign media outlets, to be excited. This seemingly absurd news quickly spread beyond Hollywood and around the world.
Once again, Kang Woo-jin’s name was burned everywhere.
Foreign media generally conveyed facts and shocks, but global public opinion had diverse responses.
Does that make sense? How can this happen? What kind of magic did Kang Woojin do? Of course you won it with your skills, right? I couldn’t believe my eyes after seeing the article, etc. Because the overseas public had different images of Kang Woo-jin, the reactions to him were half positive and half negative.
The world quickly became turbulent, and there was no way Korea could be quiet.
『[Breaking News] Kang Woo-jin joins ‘Universal Movies’ as the male lead』
『[Official] ‘Universal Movies’ new movie title is ‘John Persona’ The male lead is confirmed to be ‘Kang Woo-jin’』
『The rumors were true! Kang Woo-jin is working with Hollywood master ‘Director Danny Landis’ as the male lead』
The issue of Kang Woo-jin, who even enjoyed ‘Universal Movies’, spread at the speed of light in Korea.
The public goes crazy.
-Wow….crazy….are you serious??
– Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha I can’t help but admire
– Kang Woo-jin is really amazing
– What happened?? There was no mention of Kang Woo-jin auditioning, right? Isn’t it a joke?
-Ah, it’s official. The source is Universal’s official SNS
. -Shiba, is this it?
– Kang Woo-jin’s spirit is so stupid that I laugh out loud
– Then, the famous producer who came to Korea the other day really came to see Kang Woo-jin!!!
-Contracted as a male lead with 3 of Hollywood’s Big Five… My breasts are getting bigger
-But is this a possible schedule???
-By far, Kang Woo-jin is now at a level that not even Hollywood actors can compete with. However,
Kang Woo-jin receives enormous congratulations from over 100 staff and actors at the ‘Beneficial Evil’ set complex in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi-do.
“and!! Woojin! really?!! Is it real?! oh my god!!”
“congratulations!! “It’s truly a legend!!”
“Huh-how did things end up like this?? “Is that what I saw?!”
“Woojin is completely destroying Hollywood!! congratulation!!”
“I never thought I would see a scene like this in my lifetime…”
There was no significant change in my emotions. Just bow your head moderately in a low tone.
“thank you.”
Although the concepts were mixed, Kang Woo-jin, who had the same intention, felt the same way. He was already in contact with Joseph Felton, and as soon as he received the official script for ‘John Persona’, he knew when it would be released. Well, of course, I was a little embarrassed to see my colleagues happy.
‘I’m a little embarrassed because I like it so much – should I go to subspace for a moment?’
For a moment, he thought about evacuating to subspace, but Kang Woo-jin decided to watch their happiness for now. Their facial expressions had an energy similar to that of first place at the World Cup, a global festival. In addition, Kang Woo-jin’s cell phone also caught fire.
-Ugh.
-Ugh.
-Ugh.
A constant vibration. Many people, including those in Korea, Japan, and even Hollywood, are sending congratulations. All day long, a half-crazy festival atmosphere was created around Korea and Kang Woo-jin.
Of course, it wasn’t a power that would fade away in a day or two.
-Sure.
On the same night, Kang Woo-jin, who was resting on the slightly calmed set of ‘Beneficial Evil’, entered subspace. I also had to list the newly arrived ‘John Persona’ and take a break. Anyway, as soon as Woojin arrived at the endlessly dark place.
“Let’s see – has anything changed?”
It immediately moved to a white square. The last white square with the text changed from before.
‘John Persona’ was S-class.
-[13/Scenario (Title: John Persona) SSS level]
-[*This is a highly complete movie scenario. 100% reading is possible.]
It had been upgraded two levels to SSS level.
Then, Kang Woo-jin, who came out of subspace, smiled to himself and muttered softly.
“I guess this can be done at EX level too?”
Meanwhile, on the LA side.
A statue that is more than three times the size of the person seen in front of a large building. To be exact, this is where the trophy statue of the ‘Primetime Emmy Awards’, the broadcasting industry’s ‘Academy Awards’, was erected.
That is, the Television Arts Academy (ATAS) building, which hosts the ‘Emmy Awards’.
After collecting numerous works, their central figures gathered in a large meeting room. There is no clear date yet, but this year’s ‘Primetime Emmy Awards’ are scheduled to be officially held in August, so it was natural for it to be busy.
For reference, although it was not officially announced, the ‘Primetime Emmy Awards’ had already completed the selection of works to be officially nominated through the votes of numerous judging members.
“The cleanup is finished.”
“Then all that remains is the announcement of the officially nominated works.”
Hence the Academy of Television Arts (ATAS) personalities.
“Okay, let’s set up a presentation within this week.”
The announcement of the selected candidate works was completed.
backwards.
As the issue power of the movie ‘John Persona’ skyrocketed, Kang Woo-jin’s schedule, which was already hell, became more than twice as busy. The filming of Part 2 of ‘Beneficial Evil’ was the default, and it also featured on the front page of a famous magazine overseas, as well as several domestic schedules. There were many foreign media companies that came to Korea to interview Kang Woo-jin.
The worldwide interest is at the level of a nuclear bomb, so it is a natural progression.
At this point, it’s not surprising that the bridge of your nose is sky-high.
‘Wow – I’m crazy, I’m crazy. Just stay still. First, I have to film ‘Beneficial Evil’ and also have reading experience for ‘John Persona.’
There was no significant change in Woojin’s feelings. Because my mind is full of projects to be filmed in the future. In the meantime, BW Entertainment’s global power has become enormous.
Meanwhile, Hollywood works related to Kang Woo-jin were also being steadily prepared.
‘John Persona’, which has barely decided on the title and male lead, has entered the beginning of pre-production. The male lead was confirmed as Kang Woo-jin, but the remaining actors were undecided. So, first we had to come up with a list of actors.
Of course, ‘The Beast and Beauty’ is also busy.
『LA TIME/Kang Woo-jin, Miley Kara’s two-top finish, spurring casting of remaining actors for ‘The Beast and Beauty’』 Set
construction for ‘The Beast and Beauty’ was scheduled to take a particularly long time. Because it is an original animation, filming cannot be done in real locations. In other words, the construction of the 50,000 pyeong ‘spt studio’ set had to be completed first, and there was a lot of work to be done, from special makeup to CG, so it was expected to take a very long time.
Still, casting is in the final stages.
On the other hand, the one that showed the fastest speed was ‘Cierrot: Birth of a Villain’.
『CNM/When will the script reading including the male lead Kang Woo-jin for ‘Cinematic Universe’, for which the casting of actors has been completed, be held?』
‘Clierrot: Birth of a Villain’, which had the fastest start and planning completion compared to other works, had Woo-jin Kang and Chris Hartnett, the entire cast of actors had already been completed. Of course, pre-production, handled by director Gabok Ang, is also in its final stages. The system is completely different from Korea, but coach Ahn Ga-bok’s seasoned experience and ability shortened the time considerably.
Currently, director Ga-bok Ang is in the process of deciding on the shooting schedule for Ga-an and organizing the remaining location hunting.
‘Phew – I guess we’ll be able to post the script reading within May.’
The script reading for ‘Cierrot: Birth of a Villain’ has arrived.
A few days later on May 8th.
Late in the morning, around 11 o’clock. The location was the headquarters of Netflix Korea in Korea. A conference room with posters of numerous hits and the recently added ‘Beneficial Evil’. Currently, Kang Woo-jin was sitting in the middle of the L-shaped desk in the conference room with a cynical look on his face.
“……”
The sense of composure and weight was created with a strong concept, but inside I was quite nervous.
‘Huh-what took so long??’
Next to Woojin was Choi Seong-gun.
And around him were the core members of ‘Beneficial Evil’, including bearded producer Song Man-woo, writer Choi Nana, and others. What’s unusual is that everyone’s faces are quite serious. It’s full of tension. Producer Song Man-woo was tapping the desk with his index finger repeatedly, as if he was nervous, and writer Choi Nana, who has a soft nature, had been taking deep breaths since earlier.
The other personnel were the same.
Each person was expressing their nervousness by shaking their legs or constantly looking at their cell phones. At this time, Choi Seong-geon, who had tied his ponytail properly again, looked around at his surroundings.
-Sigh.
I whispered into the ear of Kang Woo-jin, who was sitting next to me.
“What do you think will happen?”
Kang Woo-jin, who flinched in surprise but did not make an effort to show it, kept his voice quiet.
“well.”
“Aren’t you nervous? Oh no. There’s no way you’d be nervous.”
I thought to myself, ‘I’m nervous?’ Kang Woo-jin, who recited the truth, made eye contact with producer Song Man-woo across from him. Producer Song Man-woo said nothing and just smiled faintly. It was a forced laugh. Producer Song Man-woo, who already had a high name value but had a lot of experience becoming an even bigger star with ‘Beneficial Evil’, did not stop his heart beating.
So why?
Why is the entire ‘Beneficial Evil’ team, which is currently filming, at Netflix Korea at this time? Even Kang Woo-jin.
The answer to this is.
-Suddenly!!
General Director Kim So-hyang, who had lost a bit of weight, suddenly appeared through the conference room door and was about to tell me something. She appeared, breathing slightly harshly, as if she had run. As soon as she appeared, producer Song Man-woo and writer Choi Nana jumped up, and Kang Woo-jin and Choi Seong-geon turned their heads to Kim So-hyang.
Of course, all the dozens of people in this conference room were similar.
“The presentation is over.”
General Director Kim So-hyang recited with an ambiguous face, whether smiling or expressionless.
In fact, she had just confirmed the candidates for this year’s official nominations announced by the ‘Emmy Awards’ through an online live broadcast on the official website. In other words, it was the moment when Kim So-hyang’s decision to win the Emmy for ‘Beneficial Evil’, which was selected as a strong candidate by foreign media, which had been held in secret throughout the entire time, was decided.
Kim So-hyang’s gaze then shifted from Kang Woo-jin to producer Song Man-woo.
And then he laughed sarcastically.
“That’s Okay! ‘Beneficial Evil’ is officially nominated for this year’s Emmy Awards!”
As soon as I heard the answer, a loud sound rang out in the conference room. Because the entire ‘Beneficial Evil’ team, including producer Song Man-woo and writer Choi Nana, cried out.
“Kaaaa!! okay!! “It has to be like this!”
“yes!! it’s okay!!”
“Aaaah!! really?!! really?!!”
It was definitely worth it. This is because it was the first of many non-English language dramas to be nominated for the ‘Emmy Awards’, which boasts the highest authority in the world of broadcasting. This was a sad event not only for Korea but also for all of Asia.
However, as if this was not the end, Kim So-hyang said something more to the frantic teams.
“It’s not just a nomination! ‘Beneficial Evil’ was nominated in 10 categories!!”
“What what?!! “What is that!”
“Are you serious?! “It made it to 10 categories??!”
Lastly, the smile of general director Kim So-hyang, who made eye contact with Kang Woo-jin, who was the only one sitting indifferently.
“Among those 10 categories, there is also Kang Woo-jin.”
It has become several times darker.
“Woojin is one of the five candidates for the Best Actor Award in the Drama category!! You know? “This is a first for all Asian actors!”
Next to Cannes was the ‘Emmy Awards’. But Kang Woo-jin’s expression was grave.
“…”
But deep inside, there was a burning question mark.
‘Eh??’
