I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 111
Only Krnovel
Director Kwon Ki-taek looked around the vast forest and smiled softly.
‘The weather is hot and the humidity is moist, so I just like the bad mood.’
It is a ‘missing island’ that he made himself, and director Kwon Ki-taek could draw the world of ‘disappearing island’ by closing his eyes. Director Kwon Ki-taek turned his body back and said to his man, who was taking pictures of the surroundings with a small camera from a few steps away. He was a cinematographer.
“What do you think of here? To the place where Private Kim’s head falls.”
The fact that the name ‘Private Kim Station’ appeared meant that this place was very important. Private Kim’s role is to announce the start of the ‘disappearing island’ incident.
anyway.
“Ugh, it’s terribly hot.”
The cinematographer, who lowered the camera, recalled the role of ‘Private Kim’ in ‘The Island of the Missing’ while wiping his sweat. He even nodded.
“great. It’s almost like the picture. Especially the smell here. What does this smell like? Isn’t the body hidden somewhere?”
‘Maybe.’ Director Kwon Ki-taek, who gave such an answer, took off his safari hat for a moment, crouched down and poked his finger into the floor.
The floor was muddy.
Therefore, Kwon Ki-taek’s fingers sink into the floor. He then removed his fingers, wiped the dirt off his thighs, and raised his head.
“Private Kim’s neck should be lowered from the bottom up. When making the head, make it a bit heavier. It would be fun if it caved in when it hit the floor.”
The answer came from the assistant director who was panting from the heat in the back.
“yep! All right.”
The reason why the ‘Disappearing Island’ team, including director Kwon Ki-taek, was in Vietnam was simple. It was about location hunting in relation to overseas location shooting.
However, it was not the schedule that was planned.
It was planned to be filmed on the Wonlan set, but director Kwon Ki-taek changed his mind after seeing the finished set. Half set, half filmed at an overseas location. It’s all too often that the director’s mind changes. Behind the scenes, director Kwon Ki-taek spit out one thing.
‘Call PD Park in Vietnam.’
I was talking about Line PD, who was also with me in the previous work. Therefore, the ‘Missing Island’ team had to quickly pack up and board a flight to Vietnam. And so far it’s already been two days. Thanks to that, there were some changes in the schedule of the pre-production that started around April.
But that too is over.
About this.
“Park PD.”
Director Kwon Ki-taek, who put on his safari hat again, asked LINE PD softly while wiping his sweat.
“I’m not listing here either. How many places are left?”
“About five places?”
“What is the full schedule?”
“Today, tomorrow, location hunting and local staff meetings are the only things that need to be sorted out. I want it to be done in three days.”
“All three days, right?”
“Yes, Director.”
Director Kwon Ki-taek nodded slowly and called the head of the planning team, who was busy taking pictures of the scenery.
“Chief Ryu!”
“ah! yes! Director! sorry haha It’s a torch for her daughter to send her a picture.”
“Have a good time, rather than set up a schedule to check on the set as soon as you go to Korea a few days later. When did you say the expected script reading day would be?”
“Because of the Vietnamese locale gun, I caught a little more.”
“Since the Vietnam issue ended sooner than expected, let’s do a ‘script reading’.”
Director Kwon Ki-taek, who had been estimating the date for a while, opened his mouth again.
“What do you think of August 3rd? Is it too fast?”
The director of the planning team, who checked the diary he had brought, nodded as if he was okay.
“About two weeks. No, I don’t think there will be any problems.”
After hearing the answer, director Kwon Ki-taek turned his gaze to the dense forest again.
“Then, the script reading will be confirmed on that day.”
recited quietly.
“As soon as you enter Korea, contact the actors.”
Two days later, a late lunch on the 24th.
Dozens of ‘male friends’ teams were rushing to set up in a slightly remote place behind the main school of the high school. Lay the rails, set up lights, and place props around it. A small warehouse and a place where various trash are gathered.
Today, I’m going to take a cut of sweet potatoes and a scene that emphasizes Han In-ho’s personality.
In the play, there are some Iljins who do not like ‘Lee Bo-min’, who is in the second grade. The reason didn’t matter. Just because Lee Bo-min is pretty. Is there anything I can do to catch the pod? That’s why one of the Iljin members, a woman, harasses Lee Bo-min with a strange rumor.
However, Lee Bo-min, who was so optimistic, was confident, and showed no sign of shrinking.
In addition, she had Han In-ho. Even if everyone turned their backs on her, she could hold on as long as she had Han In-ho. However, the Iljins did not leave Lee Bo-min alone. He doesn’t do much damage, so now he has to be openly harassed.
Is it thanks?
“Gather ‘Iljin’!!”
‘Iljin’ minor actors stood in front of the camera. The number is five. three women and two men. Although they were all wearing school uniforms, the aura they gave off was definitely different from that of regular students. It’s tight to the body or unbuttoned.
Somehow, I put the fact that I am different from others in my clothes.
Such minor actors were different from supplementary appearances. All of them had ambassadors and agencies. Director Shin Dong-chun, who was watching them on the monitor on camera no matter what, sighed in regret.
“Hmm- I’m a bit sorry.”
Then, the assistant director standing next to him tilted his head.
“What do you mean?”
“No, I didn’t know when I was reading the script, but when I put it up and saw it, what can I say-”
Director Shin Dong-chun, who was speechless, looked beyond the camera to five minor actors.
“The volume feels a little weak. It’s your first sweet potato scene, aren’t you bored?”
“I think I’m fine.”
“no. It’s better to have something that makes you shudder right away, with a cut like this. That way, the sweet potato you eat becomes dry and the cider that follows is refreshing.”
“Do you have any other ideas?”
“hmm······”
Square-jawed director Shin Dong-chun sits in a chair and looks around. It was a look at dozens of staff members running around.
“Let’s look for it together. I wish the mask was a bit ‘iljin’ and bigger.”
“Are you sure you want to add a minor role?”
“yes.”
“Go, don’t ask for anything on the spot! Aren’t these Iljin roles important among minor roles? Everyone has lines and gets a one-shot from the camera. So, wasn’t it through an audition?”
“Well, it’s okay. It’s okay to just stand still.”
“But there is also facial expression acting.”
It feels like the assistant director is blocking it, but director Shin Dong-chun takes care of the scene. But there is no such person in sight. What’s more, the age doesn’t match. Iljin is a high school student, but everyone has a hard face.
Soon, director Shin Dong-chun scratched his chin in regret.
‘I want to increase the volume of the scene if possible because Han In-ho is going to come out cool, but…
It was then.
“Director.”
A low male voice came from behind director Shin Dong-chun. When I turned around, Kang Woo-jin, wearing a school uniform, was standing there with an indifferent face. Director Shin Dong-chun with a smile immediately stood up.
“Oh, Woojin. Is the makeup done?”
“Yeah, I heard it by accident.”
“hmm?”
“Do you want to add Iljin Station?”
“Ah- well, it’s enough now, but I wish it was a little more excessive. greedy, greedy. But I’d rather just go as I’m sorry.”
“·······”
Woojin, who was silently staring at director Shin Dong-chun, pointed at someone while halfway away from his body.
“Then, how about our manager?”
“···manager? who?”
At the place Woojin points to, there is a handsome man standing there. Kang Woo-jin calmly introduced Kim Dae-young.
“I’m Daeyoung Kim.”
In an instant, Kim Dae-young’s eyes widened. Eyes that seemed to pop out turned to Kang Woo-jin. He cursed with his eyes.
‘What, what are you doing?!’
Of course, Kang Woo-jin didn’t get hit even once. Woo-jin, ignoring Kim Dae-young’s gaze, spoke again to director Shin Dong-chun.
“I’ve been in the acting club for quite some time, I think I have some acting experience.”
Kang Woo-jin remembered the dream Kim Dae-yeong had told him about sometime in the past. It was at a drinking party.
‘Hey Daeyoung Kim. Why are you acting? Is it fun?’
‘It’s fun. I want to stand in front of a camera someday. Not just a passing extra, but a bit role. If you have lines, you can sense it. It’s a dream.’
‘It’s a short role- is that easy enough? Or is it difficult? I don’t know anything about that entertainment industry.’
‘It’s damn hard. So it’s a dream.’
‘If the baby is born as a man, he should step on the full accelerator once. Run into it.’
‘Will only my head break? It’s okay, let’s have a drink.’
trying to make it happen. It wasn’t forced, it was natural given the circumstances. There is nothing wrong with directors Kim Dae-young and Shin Dong-chun both win-win.
‘Well, if the director doesn’t like it, he’ll be rude.’
Kang Woo-jin calmly added an explanation.
“As you can see, the physical is also good, how is it?”
When asked again, director Shin Dong-chun brushed his chin.
-Sue.
I took a few steps in front of Kim Dae-young, who was embarrassed. Soon, director Shin Dong-chun, who will judge Kim Dae-young. It’s a bit faded, but that’s enough to cover up with makeup.
‘Still, the mask is better than the staff here, I can’t tell it was forced in. Because of his size, the volume of the scene will increase significantly. If it was an acting club, they would have experience.’
Director Shin Dong-chun, who thought it was not bad, asked Kim Dae-young.
“Can you? It’s not definitive. I’ll have to take a few cuts as a test. how is it? Would you like to try?”
“·······”
Wait a minute, is this real? Kim Dae-young, who was bruised with a wanting face.
-Sue.
Looking at the expressionless Kang Woo-jin face in front of him, he prayed with a tearful heart and answered with difficulty.
“I can… I can, Director.”
Kim Dae-yeong’s eyes moistened slightly. Kang Woo-jin, who glanced at that figure.
‘Are you crying? If you look closely, they say that the biggest pup is the softest.’
Woojin, who laughed inwardly, stabbed Daeyoung Kim in the side without revealing it.
Then he shouted loudly at director Shin Dong-chun, who had a square jaw in front of him.
“You can!”
At this time, director Shin Dong-chun, who had a smile on his face, lightly slapped Kim Dae-young on the shoulder.
“Okay, let’s see- then, let’s start with the outfit first.”
Soon after, director Shin Dong-chun asked the staff around him.
“What is the largest size for our school uniform?”
This time, Japan.
In the Japanese entertainment industry, there was a lot of talk about ‘Profiler Hanryang’, which was launched on Netflix about a week ago. The press, various production companies, agencies, actors, etc.
Especially among Japanese actors, the amount of Hanryang went up and down a lot.
“A lot of Korean things these days? Was it noisy? Is Netflix still Win 1?”
“It’s just the first week of launch, so it’s noisy. Aren’t there many Korean dramas like that in the past?”
“but. It was a bit unusual in the first week of launch, but it fell off the rankings after a while.”
“Will it be quiet soon?”
The response was half and half. No, the more I went deeper, the more negative the view was. The more Hanryang gets better, the stronger the Hallyu is.
However, Hanryang’s popularity in Japan was solid.
Rather, word of mouth spread rapidly among the Japanese public as time went on. Hanryang, who took first place with the launch, is steadfast and unwavering at the top. It’s not serious. It has surpassed the level of a twinkle launch.
That will be too.
『The Korean drama 「Profiler Hanryang」, which took first place on Netflix, is soaring in popularity”
Because the Japanese media also started to cover Hanryang in earnest. I noticed that there was a big response from various age groups beyond the young generation in Japan.
『Korean-style mystery play 『Profiler Hanryang』 quickly spread word of mouth through social media, etc.』
Quite a few K-dramas have already landed in Japan, but Hanryang showed signs of being more powerful than anything else. It was like that just looking at social media and various communities right now.
It was even mentioned in a Japanese variety show a few days ago.
“Ah, has anyone seen one? I almost cried all night watching it yesterday.”
“I saw! I love you, Park!”
“Does Miko-chan know anything? I love you too!”
At this point, the maestro director Kyotaro could not have known. Director Kyotaro, who is currently in the midst of casting actors, was genuinely delighted with the rise of his talent.
“At this rate, the popularity in Japan will increase even before our movie is released.”
It was an evaluation toward Kang Woo-jin.
And around this time, at a famous Japanese talk show team meeting, the story of ‘Profiler Hanryang’ came up. They were in the middle of selecting items.
“What do you want to cover in the next overseas special?”
“The last Hollywood episode was a bit weak. I think it’s because we proceed with only the materials without guests.”
“I- How about catching it as ‘K-Drama Week’ this time? Netflix’s ‘Profiler Hanryang’ is noisy these days. Word of mouth among the public is fast.”
“Oh, that drama? I did read a few articles too. Well, the momentum isn’t quite noticeable. But the tops there are too expensive?”
“How about inviting the villains instead of the main characters?”
A rather novel idea came out.
“Only a handful of villains?”
