I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 10

contract (2)
“・・・・・Mo, the ransom?”
In response to PD Song Man-woo’s answer, the head of the production office sitting across from him frowned.
“No, what kind of appearance fee does a friend whose filmography from the past until now is unclear think about? It makes no sense to talk about the ransom from the start!”
The production manager suddenly gets excited. Of course, what he was doing was natural. He even belongs to Seablue Studio, a large domestic production company. From his point of view, Kang Woo-jin was no different from ordinary people.
The past is very secretive.
A guy like that talks about the ransom even before it starts? It was an unbelievable act for the head of production, who has been involved in numerous works so far. He’s never seen an actor like that. That’s why the production manager’s voice rose.
“No matter how unique Kang Woo-jin is, it’s not like that. can’t even be It’s just an issue that should end with PD-nim’s speculation.”
“It is, but it is-”
Producer Song Man-woo, a big player, also felt the same way. Trying to raise the ransom was just his guess. However, that Kang Woo-jin is a strange breed that I have never seen before. How are your acting skills?
Even veterans with more than 10 years of experience easily surpassed it.
In addition, the heavy atmosphere, perseverance and aura that have been shown so far. The guy who came out of ‘Super Actor’ to kill time. Does such a guy really not have the guts to negotiate a ransom from the start?
‘Even the writer Park gave off a nuance that he was openly in love.’
Park Eun-mi wasn’t the only writer. PD Song Man-woo and Hong Hye-yeon, who saw Kang Woo-jin in the conference room today, and so on. All personnel were obsessed with him. If he was aware of that, it seemed that he could come up with a ransom bargain.
in other words.
‘It’s the first time I’ve been in a position like this from the start, so it’s a bit embarrassing.’
Looking at the situation, the current Kang Woo-jin was Eul. PD Song Man-woo, who was lost in thought with his arms crossed at this point.
-Sue.
I turned my head to writer Park Eun-mi, who was sitting on the left. Without realizing it, she put on her hair band and was already looking at PD Song Man-woo. Her expression hardened. Author Park Eun-mi’s determination was firm.
she is like that
“A guess or whatever, I don’t know.”
declared briefly and boldly.
“I will only say one word. Don’t save money.”
It’s not heavy enough to feel cool. There was a lot of meaning hidden in her short words. Roughly, it feels like ‘I won’t let go if I miss that child while saving money’?
Soon, PD Song Man-woo shrugged and turned his attention to the head of production.
“Chief Lee, I want to live a long time. Anyway, whether you guess or not, wouldn’t it be right to get some ransom for Kang Woo-jin?”
The production manager let out a long sigh.
“Ha- PD, writer. Do you know the position of our production company? There are also industry standards. No matter how special Mr. Kang Woo-jin is, if words leak out, noise may circulate throughout the industry.”
“I know, I know. Yeah, it’s a bit of a headache.”
PD Song Man-woo recalls Kang Woo-jin’s face here.
“But- it’s kind of strange to treat that thing as just a rookie or unknown.”
“That, that.”
“General unknowns or rookies can’t win a secondary or supporting role because they are bewitched by the director and writer. Also, she came alone without an agency.”
There was silence for a while. It was PD Song Man-woo who broke the silence first.
“Don’t do this. Calculate the amount of rumors and rubbish and messy eyes, the ransom will be above average, but let’s put a confidentiality clause in the contract.”
“I’m asking the old woman. PD-nim, what do you think Kang Woo-jin’s ransom will be?”
“Um-yes. But did you feel it when you saw him today? my head is flying he’s a smart guy Oh, I don’t want to do it. Because he’s that kind of guy, he must have set his own value in an appropriate line.”
Producer Song Man-woo, chanting, picked up a piece of paper nearby and started writing down the numbers.
“I see this as the maximum, how about it?”
At that time, Kang Woo-jin’s studio.
Kang Woo-jin was lying comfortably, not even knowing that his ransom was being set. He wasn’t sleeping. He is lying on his side and watching a drama on his cell phone.
“·······”
In fact, this state of Kang Woo-jin has been maintained for quite some time. It was around 6pm when she got home from a previous meeting. It’s 11:30 at night now. In terms of time, it was about 5 hours, but for Kang Woo-jin, it was about 15 hours.
why?
As soon as he arrived home, Kang Woo-jin entered the sub-space several times. He has read almost all of the characters in Part 1 of ‘Elegant Eldest Daughter’, excluding ‘Cafe Male Clerk’, among the works that have been updated in subspace.
Of course, these were actions that included experiments.
And the drama Kang Woo-jin, who finished reading the characters, is watching now is the first part of ‘Elegant Eldest Daughter’. Watching it over and over again. The acting of the actors in charge of each role, the difference between the script and directing, the gap between the background experienced in the sub-space and reality, etc.
Thanks to this, Woojin was able to find out.
“I can definitely understand why this drama failed.”
Aside from directing, the actors were too bad at acting.
“Isn’t this actor famous?”
Because it is Kang Woo-jin now, I was able to evaluate it clearly because I read all the characters in the script in sub-space. It’s like, how to say, the situation where an actor in a drama imitates Kang Woo-jin.
Because Woojin already has all the roles in the script.
In other words, in Woojin’s eyes, the actors seemed to be acting themselves. In his opinion, the acting of the actors was very poor.
“Should I say that the lines are a bit… empty?”
There was no emotion in the lines the actors spoke. I feel like I’m forced to spit it out only according to the situation.
“Sorry, I wish it was a little thicker.”
Is this the kind of person who checks his vocal cords? Anyway, Kang Woo-jin did not know. Little by little, I am accumulating knowledge related to acting. It means that various emotions and expressions are overlapping with repeated reading of various roles.
A training method that others can’t even imagine.
It was at this time.
– Woo-woo, woo-woo.
Kang Woo-jin’s cell phone, which was printing the drama, spat out a long vibration. Of course it was a phone call and the other person.
“Are you calling me tonight?”
It was Kim Dae-young, a friend. Soon, Woojin lay on his side and put his cell phone on his ear.
“what.”
Then, over the cell phone, Kim Dae-young.
“Hey, see you tomorrow after work. Like the promise I made last time to buy meat for you.”
said with a yawn.
“Give me the script and screenplay you lent me.”
The next day, Friday the 14th, late afternoon.
The time passed 8 o’clock. At that time, Kang Woo-jin was walking near Jeongja Station. The outfits were similar. Jeans in padding. But today I wore a hat.
I have no reason to touch my friend Kim Dae-yeong.
“Looks like somewhere here.”
Soon, Kang Woo-jin looked around. It seems like you are looking for the samgyeopsal restaurant that Daeyoung Kim told you about. It was at this time that Woojin’s cell phone rang.
“huh?”
Kang Woo-jin, who confirmed the caller, tilted slightly. Because the opponent was Song Man-woo PD. what? Anyway, after Woojin calmed down his voice, he answered the phone.
“hello.”
PD Song Man-woo greeted me over the phone. The tone was on the bright side.
“Mr. Woojin. How are you thinking?”
“yes. Thanks to.”
“Maybe. Are you estimating the fee? I’m not arguing, I’m just asking out of curiosity.”
appearance fee? What kind of appearance fee did you suddenly call? It was a question that Kang Woo-jin had never thought of, and thanks to that, he was a bit dazed.
“·······”
Then, over the cell phone, PD Song Man-woo proceeds with the work on his own again.
“It may not be all of Woo-jin’s thoughts, but of course it will include the ransom. Okay, so let’s talk about something more realistic.”
“···reality.”
“Yes, reality. If you think about it, our writer Park made a casting offer too blindly. Me too. I have to listen to the terms and conditions.”
“·······”
“Let’s do this. We don’t have much time either. I need to stamp the role of ‘Park Assistant’ quickly. Think about it until today, meet tomorrow and listen to the realistic conditions, then decide on the spot.”
The realistic conditions were not clear, but Kang Woo-jin thought it didn’t matter. Because I had a bigger heart to do anyway.
“All right.”
After hearing Woojin’s solemn answer, PD Song Man-woo spat out a promise.
“Tomorrow at 10 am. You can come to the Seablue studio where we met.”
after a while
Kang Woo-jin and Kim Dae-young, who are big, are sitting facing each other and enjoying samgyeopsal. The sizzling meat quickly disappears in their mouths, and the soju to quench their thirst is also refilled into the glass several times.
And the current topic of conversation.
“Hey, did I tell the company people that I saw Hong Hye-yeon in person? Everyone said they would die of envy.”
It was Hong Hye-yeon, a top actress. Of course, her devoted fan, Kim Dae-young, opened up.
“I even met Hong Hye-yeon that day, didn’t I? Geuk, ah, it’s one of the worst regrets that we couldn’t take a picture together.”
Watching Kim Dae-young like that, Kang Woo-jin snorted inwardly.
‘Just something like that. Heh, dude, Hong Hye-yeon called me by name. Woojin Kang! do.’
If I talk about this, Kim Dae-young will go crazy. However, Woojin didn’t say much, probably because he wanted to hide it for now.
About this.
“Hey Kang Woojin.”
Kim Dae-young, who shoveled lettuce wraps with three slices of pork belly into his mouth, changed the subject.
“You, but what about a job change? Didn’t you already leave and take a break for two weeks?”
Kim Dae-young suddenly brings reality.
“Let’s rest in moderation and look for it soon, shall we? Do you really take a break for the rest of your life after that? Why don’t you ask our design team?”
“Is a medium-sized company using me?”
“No, I’m looking for a contract job or something to introduce. Even if it’s a contract job, what is the design field? Isn’t filmography important?”
“·······”
Here Kang Woo-jin suddenly looked at Kim Dae-young and asked.
“hey. If the. really if If you’re an unknown actor, what would you do if you were cast in a work by a big-time producer or a brilliant writer?”
In an instant, Daeyoung Kim’s expression hardened.
“Yeoju?”
“The male lead doesn’t know, and the female lead, for example, Hong Hye-yeon?”
“I don’t need a male lead. If the heroine is Hong Hye-yeon, her crazy person, asking such questions is a waste of time itself.”
“Are you okay?”
“uh. Nopa go straight. The female lead is Hong Hye-yeon.”
Kim Dae-young continued with a shot of soju.
“Do you think a big name PD or a writer who has a bad name will care? It must have been about the size of plankton? In addition, is Yeo-ju the top actress of Hong Hye-yeon class? It is a miracle in itself that an unknown person goes to such a work.”
“Is that enough?”
“uh. It is safe to say that it is not a miracle. If it’s a super popular drama like that, there’s no need to use an anonymous name. There are a lot of actors who want to do it. Let alone a minor role, it’s hard to get a spot for a second role (assistant appearance). The introduction of introductions will also explode due to blood ties and school ties.”
“Blood ties delayed school ties.”
“The entertainment industry is kind of like that. A place where blood ties, school ties, and even bad ties are intertwined with business. So, by the way, does Saengmu-myeong occupy a place? I have to fucking kill you. But that doesn’t happen anyway.”
“hmm.”
I’m sorry, but is such a thing right in front of you? Kang Woo-jin, who spat at Dae-young Kim’s brilliant explanation, spit out another question.
“Then let’s say you’re the name given to that spot. How much will you be paid?”
“Appearance fee? what is that? I screamed and fell asleep. It’s not about how much you’re going to get, it’s how much you give, and you’re fucking appreciated.”
“How much?”
“Hey, my friend. I just told you, it’s a miracle that a nameless person joins the game. The miracle has already happened, so how do you get paid? No, I have to give it something, but if it’s an average rookie, 30 per synagogue? You get a lot of that too.”
“300,000 won?”
“uh. But even if you give me 3,000 won per session, I’m grateful – I have to. Being cast is just a life reversal level.”
To be honest, I thought Kang Woo-jin was very low-paid. Well, it’s not that I don’t understand because actors are also freelancers. Still, 3,000 won is a bit.
At this time.
“ouch.”
Kim Dae-young, who was filling the empty soju glass in front of Woo-jin, reached out his hand.
“Speaking of art. did you bring The script and the screenplay.”
Kang Woo-jin hands over the paper bag he brought to Kim Dae-young. Of course, except for the scripts, I copied the scenario of ‘Heungshinso’. just in case? Daeyoung Kim, who was waving his arms around the inside of the paper bag, continued.
“Did you read this? I suddenly borrowed it and gave it to him. You just used it as a base for ramen, right?”
“I read. But isn’t that short film, ‘Heungshinso’ not being produced at all?”
“Ah, when I heard from a hyung who knows about it, he said he produces it. Of course, I thought it would go down, but I wonder if investors came out or not.”
“oh? Then, are you going to audition for actors now?”
“well? maybe? A hyung I know also auditioned for something, so I think there was a spot. In short films like this, the leading and supporting roles are usually fixed.”
Kang Woo-jin, who was listening to the story, suddenly crossed his arms. She seems to be thinking about something. For a moment, he set his eyes on Kim Dae-young again.
“That movie. You don’t know where the production company of ‘Heungsinso’ is? Or a film company? something like that.”
Daeyoung Kim, who was flipping the meat, narrowed his eyes.
“…you’re weird? Why are you so interested in this series these days? Didn’t you originally have an asshole?”
“No what. I just read it and it was fun. so open? Or watch the movie when it comes out.”
“·······”
Kim Dae-young, who was looking at Kang Woo-jin across the street with a slightly suspicious look, shrugged.
“Well, okay for now. I don’t know the producer either, but I’ll ask him.”
A few minutes later, Kim Dae-yeong, who was on the phone outside, sat in front of Kang Woo-jin.
“I thought I sent you a link via Talk?”
I shook my cell phone.
“That’s a community specializing in movies, but if you go to the link, there’s information on the ‘healing agency’. Find it yourself.”
10:00 a.m., production company Seablue Studio.
In a meeting room at Seablue Studio, I saw two familiar people. It was PD Song Man-woo with a lightweight padding and a beard, and a caddy wearing glasses. Author Park Eun-mi was not present.
In any case, both of them looked quite different.
-Sue.
A few transparent files are scattered in front of them.
this moment.
-Kik.
The glass door of the meeting door, which had been closed, opened and the production manager of ‘Profiler Hanryang’ entered. and behind him.
“hello.”
Kang Woo-jin, who greeted in a low voice, was also present. PD Song Man-woo, who had a serious face at his appearance, smiled a little.
“Welcome, sit here.”
PD Song Man-woo pointed to the other side of himself. Then he quietly scanned Kang Woo-jin, who moved slowly. No, it’s definitely trying to gauge his mood.
‘Today, too, he’s cynical.’
But in vain. With Kang Woo-jin’s poker face on the outside, it was difficult to judge something. From the first time I saw her, Woojin had always been that way.
‘It’s like a technique to hide your insides – well, it’s fun when it changes again when you’re acting.’
Anyway, PD Song Man-woo pushed a transparent file to Woo-jin, who was sitting in front.
“Check it out. It’s Kang Woo-jin’s contract, and I’m a family member.”
“All right.”
Soon, PD Song Man-woo laughed while opening the same transparent file as Woo-jin.
“Well, there are a lot of complicated letters. What I want to tell you right away is the fee we set for Woojin.”
Kang Woo-jin across the street looked at PD Song Man-woo with cynical eyes. Then, PD Song Man-woo opened his mouth by taking a point in his contract with his index finger.
“Woo Jin’s fee is 250 per episode.”
It was a bit more than 3,000 won. About 900 times.
“how is it? 250 per synagogue.”
At that moment, Woojin’s poker face twitched slightly.
