I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 112
Only Krnovel
“Let’s invite the villains, not the main characters?”
As if it was okay for an idea thrown out of the blue, the main PD and several writers who participated in the meeting put on serious expressions.
Then.
“Yuki-san, did you watch that drama?”
The skinny main PD naturally asked a question in Japanese, and the small-eyed female writer who threw out the idea nodded.
“Yes, I saw Hanryang as soon as it launched on Netflix. Actually, I am a fan of Ryu Jung-min.”
“haha. did you? How did the drama feel?”
“fun. To be honest, I don’t know if it’s really been a long time since I’ve been in a drama for several years. Didn’t you see the PD?”
“You should have time to see it.”
“Um- I really can’t stop watching episode 1. I wonder if the ratings exceeded 25% in Korea for no reason?”
I already knew, but the main PD stuck out his tongue as if it was a shock.
“…25%. In this day and age, the viewership rating is 25%- enviable yet amazing. What is the basic information about Hanryang?”
“A star Korean drama writer wrote the script, as well as a major producer. The novelty is to take the format of the original Korean drama, but there are a total of four villains who appear in the play.”
Another broadcast writer intervened.
“Four people?”
“huh. A total of 16 episodes, 4 episodes with 4 villains.”
“indeed. That’s why, despite the large number of conversations, it seems that there was little resistance from the public on our side.”
“I don’t know if that’s one of the factors of success.”
Here, the small-eyed female writer called Yuki set her eyes on the PD again.
“Hanryang has been holding the No. 1 spot on Netflix for more than 10 days since its launch, and even at this time, while its popularity continues to rise, the rise is a bit unusual. If you look at the community or SNS, there are a lot of stories about Hanryang dramas. Does it feel like it will last a little longer?”
“Hmm, out of those four villains, who is the most talked about actor right now?”
“Anyway, it’s the first villain that appears at the beginning of the play. Kang Woo-jin as ‘Chief Park’. Since it’s the acting part, the visuals are receiving the most praise.”
As if the name was unfamiliar, the skinny PD scratched his skinny cheek.
“Is your name right there?”
“I was curious and looked it up. In Korea, that actor is very popular right now.”
“is it so? How long have you been an actor? If it’s a little over a year, there’s no way I wouldn’t have heard of it.”
“I felt like a newcomer. In the first place, most of the villains in Hanryang are new actors in the B-class.”
“Is that so? Then it will ease the pressure a bit. with fees, etc. Except for that actor Kang Woo-jin.”
The female writer nods.
“Maybe Kang Woo-jin might have a hard time recruiting, because it seemed like he had a lot of projects going on. However, apart from the expensive ones, I think the main role should be that actor.”
“Yes. It’s also a meaningless project if the main part is omitted.”
The title of the Japanese talk show they directed was ‘Ametoke Show!’
In terms of age, it was a fairly long-lived talk show that was over 10 years old, and it was also a professional that went through a lot of changes from the past to the present. Whole crews are replaced, or format changes, and so on. Fortunately, it didn’t break. The reason is simple. Because it consistently maintains a viewership rating of 10%. There was also a virtue of airing during prime time.
The viewing age range is diverse.
Currently, ‘Ametoke Show!’ has been aired in two formats. About an hour running time, the first 30 minutes was a talk show, and the second 30 minutes show viewers a joke with gags. However, the two sections were completely different teams. In other words, it was safe to say that the two pros were mixed in ‘Ametoke Show!’.
Anyway, the guests of this show are mostly top stars.
There were many Japanese stars, but stars from overseas, including Korea, appeared occasionally. That’s why the power to raise issues was okay. Such ‘Ametoke show!’ holds a special project once a month. The other time it was about Hollywood, and now it’s being developed as a ‘K-Drama Week’ with a writer’s idea.
anyway.
“The Korean wave boom has been going on for several years, and ‘K-Drama Week’ rides on that atmosphere-”
The PD looked into the void and recited.
“Well, it’s not as hot as K-pop, but K-drama is also hot. It may be a limit, but it seems to be able to stimulate viewers’ curiosity from dealing with K-drama- Okay, let’s start with the investigation with ‘K-Drama Week’ as one option.”
“yes!”
“First of all, check Netflix on how popular the drama is currently, and collect all the data from articles, SNS, portal sites, communities, etc.”
“The Korean side too?”
“Of course you have to check. Everything from the first airing date to the end of Hanryang.”
Things grow quickly.
“In addition, get to know the four villain actors regardless of whether they are Japanese or Korean. Among them, Kang Woo-jin should be the center.”
The PD who gave the instructions got up and added something that came to his mind.
“Oh, and there must be an interpreter.”
About an hour later, back in Korea.
The bustling ‘Boyfriend’ filming location. Director Shin Dong-chun showed the script to Kim Dae-young and explained the scene briefly. Kim Dae-young absorbs the explanation of the world seriously. Even so, if Kim Dae-young’s acting is lacking, of course he will be judged. Of course, Kim Dae-young must have known this.
Still, the ‘leading role’ Kang Woo-jin’s recommendation was heavy.
No one at the scene threw up. Anyway, Woo-jin looks at her ball friend, Kim Dae-young, with his arms crossed. It’s like seeing something like that for the first time.
‘He’s very serious, but I’ve never seen him work.’
At this time.
“What? suddenly.”
Choi Seong-gun patted Kang Woo-jin on the back.
“Even friends seem to be indifferent to each other all the time, so they suddenly recommend me for a minor role?”
Woojin answered the thrown question with a question.
“Is there any problem?”
“problem? what’s the problem Anyway, Daeyoung came to apply. But isn’t it a bit out of the ordinary? Is there a reason?”
“…that was his dream. I don’t know if that’s still the case.”
“dream? Ah- yeah, did you say you have an acting club?”
“yes.”
When Woo-jin, who answered calmly, once again fixed his eyes on Kim Dae-young, Choi Seong-gun, who had a deep smile for some reason, grabbed Kang Woo-jin by the shoulder and shook it lightly.
“Haha, did you remember something like a friend’s dream? Anyway, this tsundere guy. You did something strangely unlikely.”
“No, I just suggested it because it suited the situation.”
“That’s what you call a tsundere dude.”
“···Is that so?”
At this point, Hwarin’s fan feeling, who had been watching the current situation from a few steps behind Kang Woo-jin.
‘Taking care of you with a calm face.’
Moreover, it was getting bigger. To the extent that even if I had to be a fan for the rest of my life, I would nod my head broadly.
‘That’s what really bewitches people.’
Of course, that wasn’t Kang Woo-jin’s intention.
right at that moment.
“now! Daeyoung, when you’re ready, let’s go to rehearsal!”
Director Shin Dong-chun announced the start of filming.
After finishing the rehearsal, the ‘Namsachin’ team started filming. The scene background is a remote place behind the building. There are piles of full garbage bags and discarded school supplies. Some were added by the props team, and some were really abandoned by the school.
Following.
“Standby actors!”
The actors stepped in front of the camera set at the cry of the assistant director. All minor actors in school uniforms. Of course, the tall Kim Dae-young was included. 6 people in total. three men and three women.
Everything gives off a goofy vibe.
Because the 6 actors in minor roles were in charge of the school. That’s why men loose their summer uniforms, and women wear heavy makeup and wear tight-fitting uniforms.
finally.
“’Lee Bo-min’ is over!”
Lee Bo-min, who has finished her make-up, wears a slightly oversized school uniform and has her long hair tied in a ponytail. In other words, Hwarin moved to the front of the six Iljin. Her appearance ended the arrangement of her actors, and director Shin Dong-chun, who was sitting on the monitor, shouted her autograph to her key staff.
“camera!!”
“okay-”
“audio!”
“No problem!”
Director Shin Dong-chun, who even checked the lights, shouted into the loudspeaker.
“High-action!!”
As soon as the signal goes down, the normal expressions of the six Iljin members become despicable with their own expressions. The three men, including Kim Dae-young, fell to the back with sarcasm, and the three women, covered with bitterness, approached Lee Bo-min, who stood at a distance.
“Hey Bomin Lee.”
Among the women’s group, those who stood at the forefront were those with pointed noses. His voice was filled with irony.
“Since people say you’re pretty, don’t you think everyone likes you?”
Although quite aggressive, Lee Bo-min just stares at the woman with a pointed nose. But the spirit of not backing down stood on his face.
“·······”
“Look at him? Are you talking about me? shocking. You say you’re annoyed I mean, don’t keep standing out in an annoying way.”
The woman who had been frowning suddenly smiled and held up the chocolate milk she had brought. And then open the mouth of the milk. She wants to drink it, but she pours chocolate milk over Lee Bo-min’s head.
-Sue.
Thanks to this, brownish milk flowed down Lee Bo-min’s head, down his face, and onto his uniform. The camera gradually pulls back from Lee Bo-min’s wide-eyed face and captures his entire body. Her face was full of bewilderment. No matter how vicious she was, she had a face that she did not even know that this situation would unfold.
Here the camera moves again. A close-up of the face of the Iljin woman who threw all the milk on the floor.
“why? no? I thought I couldn’t drink it all, so I shared it.”
A giggling Iljin woman and her friends. And the men in the back are also smirking. A situation where the discomfort reached its peak.
It was then.
-hook!
From somewhere, a milk carton flew like a baseball and hit the woman’s side.
-Pak!!
The milk carton made a cheerful noise and sprayed white liquid like fireworks. It looked like white milk. But one wasn’t the end. A series of milk cartons hit her head.
As expected, the liquid is sprayed splendidly.
This time it was strawberry milk, not white, but pink, and the Iljin girl, whose face and uniform were covered in white milk and strawberry milk, let out a scream close to screaming.
“Aww!!! What!!!”
The flinching Iljin men slowly turned their heads. A camera that moves together according to their gaze. In the direction the milk flew.
“hmm.”
An expressionless Kang Woo-jin. No, ‘Han In-ho’ was stopped in the pitching posture after throwing the ball. Even a plain speech.
“strike.”
Here, director Shin Dong-chun spit out Cut!, and the scene continues again after reorganization. Ever since Han In-ho threw the milk carton like a baseball. Soon, Han In-ho, who took off his appearance as a pitcher, moved slowly. The camera steps backwards in front of him.
“·······”
Han In-ho approached Lee Bo-min without saying a word. Iljin men with eyes filled with vigilance. Iljin women screaming about what they are talking about. Either that or not, Han In-ho.
-Sue.
I stood in front of Lee Bo-min, who was showered with chocolate milk, and looked down at her. He smiles lightly for some reason. Then, he took off his summer uniform and top and rubbed Lee Bo-min’s face. There was no restraint in his actions, but he was mixed with consideration.
It was such a hand gesture.
Soon, Han In-ho lowered his head and threw a few words at Lee Bo-min.
“Is it hot?”
“···what!!”
“No, because I took a shower with milk. It was hot.”
“I don’t know.”
“Wipe it.”
Han In-ho, who handed over the school uniform top to Lee Bo-min, turned around. Before I knew it, there were male Iljins in front of me, and Han In-ho gently scanned them and the female Iljins. His eyes were lifeless and his face was expressionless.
“hmm-”
However, there was a faint anger in those calm eyes. It was just that kind of momentum. However, it was not over-expressed. He is properly controlling the exaggeration that usually simmers in his appearance and present.
A man of great strength who saw it right in front of his eyes. In other words, Kim Dae-young was deeply impressed.
‘It’s delicate… No, it’s fucking delicate. This bastard is really good at acting- I can feel that he is controlling his irritation and anger just by looking at his face.’
The chicken meat also sprouted. Of course, this was the same for director Shin Dong-chun, who was watching the monitor.
‘I’m used to controlling my emotions, but I’m clumsy, so I feel a surge of emotion through my eyes from time to time. Yes, that’s right. This is Korean Hoji. I’m bad at everything, but I have nothing to regret.’
At this time.
-hook!!
Iljin, a woman with a pointed nose, forcefully threw the empty milk carton she hit at Inho Han. However, Han In-ho quickly put his head back and avoided the milk carton.
Naturally, the milk carton got stuck in Lee Bo-min’s face.
“ah!!!”
Lee Bo-min screaming quack. Han In-ho calmly raises her right hand slightly to her.
“Ah, sorry. I have good reflexes.”
“You madman!”
“Ugh. okay. Thank you for accepting my apology.”
It was at this time that the bold Iljin man appeared. In other words, it was Kim Dae-young, and he grabbed Han In-ho’s shoulder and turned it roughly. The burly man was smiling leisurely.
“Are you two a couple?”
“It’s not.”
At Kim Dae-young’s first line, director Shin Dong-chun brushed his chin.
‘Hmm – this isn’t bad. Vocalization, the tone is just right.’
A burly Iljin man grabbed Han In-ho, who was slightly shorter than himself, by the collar. Thanks to this, while the white tee Han In-ho was wearing as an inner stretched out, his strangely firm stomach was slightly exposed.
Daeyoung Kim’s lines here.
“Let’s go take a test of your husband’s mettle.”
Although it was a crisis, Han In-ho’s face did not fall out of ignorance. Instead, I glanced at the man’s forearm.
“test? isn’t it murder? Why are you carrying a weapon on your arm?”
“Okay, this.”
It was at the time when the coolly articulated, burly man moved his gigantic fist.
-Sue.
Han In-ho, with an expressionless face, pointed upward with his index finger.
“Look up before swinging the weapon.”
Soon, everyone except Han In-ho raised their heads upwards. Of course the camera too. The window is open in the middle of the second floor. A bald head was floating in the window.
“······these.”
That is, he was the principal.
Late morning the next day, bw enter.
BW Enter, with a significant increase in staff, was generally a busy scene.
“yes yes! Ah- Are you Woojin? Excuse me, but please email me for more details!”
“Hello, Chief Kim! This is our bw, Enton! Yes, I called for an interview with Hyeyeon.”
“No, what if I put up such a ridiculous article and eat my stomach? Reporter, have you seen Woojin? isn’t it?”
“Yeah- Recruitment? If you let me know, I will pass it on to the management team.”
He frantically answers the phone or taps on the keyboard without a single second of rest. Recently, bw entertainment was the most booming since its foundation with Kang Woo-jin and Hong Hye-yeon. Among such bw enter’s PR team.
“······hmm.”
The head of the public relations team, with his head neatly back, spat while looking at the laptop screen. Currently, he was monitoring SNS and communities related to Kang Woo-jin. It is a very important task to monitor the reaction of the actor in the agency, and also of Kang Woo-jin, who turned the nation upside down. Collect anything and everything that catches your eye.
However, what is strange is that seriousness and anxiety coexist in the current PR team leader’s expression.
The public relations team leader was at a loss in a community post.
‘There were several similar comments.
The title of the post was:
-[I went to the same high school as Woojin Kang, but his personality is completely different from back then and nowㅇㅇ]
It was a nuance that the author of the article seemed to know Kang Woo-jin.
