I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 12
Only Krnovel
short story (1)
17th, Monday morning. Woojin Kang’s studio.
Throughout the weekend, dozens of staff and entertainers of ‘Profiler Hanryang’ were in a frenzy with the appearance of an unknown actor, but the main character, Kang Woo-jin.
“hmm-”
I didn’t know this at all. He’s just staring at his laptop cross-legged with his hair shaggy. The current time is a little past 9:00. As soon as Woo-jin opens her eyes, what she is checking on her laptop is the movie community that her friend Kim Dae-young sent a link to via Talk a few days ago.
In fact, Kang Woo-jin did a few searches over the weekend.
I was currently perusing the information I had gathered for a while. Well, it’s a community where even miscellaneous information comes out, so there was quite a bit about the short film ‘Heungshinso’.
but.
“These things have not been proven again.”
It was hard to believe that all the information posted on this community was true. These days, there are so many communities and so much bullshit. So Woo-jin focused on the most reliable writing rather than miscellaneous information.
-Movie Information: Title Heungsinso (Short)/ Blue Gaze Film Company (Independent Specialist)/ Director Shin Dong-chun (Unknown)
-Production confirmed news is circulating! Seeing that an older sister I know who plays plays is auditioning, it seems almost certain.
It was detailed, and it was the article with the most views and comments. But there wasn’t much information. There is no such common number. What, should a community be satisfied with this much?
Kang Woo-jin, chanting inwardly, moved the mouse.
-Sue.
First of all, I searched for director Shin Dong-chun from ‘heungsinso’ on a search site, but nothing came up.
“Then will there be a movie company?”
The next thing Woojin searched for was Blue Gaze Films. Fortunately, there is something to be searched for here. However, there was not much information on this either. It’s just an introductory article about the location of the film company and specializing in short films.
“Don’t you usually write down your phone number?”
Perhaps because the film company was small, there was no number for this one either. It was Woojin who had heard similar words from Kim Daeyoung the other day. The reality of independent, short or art films is very harsh. Anyway, all I got as a result was the address of the company and information about millet.
“Hmm- There’s no point in sitting and sucking your fingers. I guess I’ll just have to go to a movie theater for this.”
Even though Woojin’s joining the ‘Profiler Hanryang’ was confirmed, it was easy for him to be interested in the short film ‘Heungshinso’. The scenario itself was quite interesting, but it also included experiments related to subspace. When it comes to dramas, there are numbers that can measure viewer ratings or something, but ‘Heungshinso’ was a short film that was not even released.
Nevertheless, in the sub-space, it was marked as ‘B grade’.
-[4/Scenario (Title: Secret Service), Class B]
In other words, curiosity was the greatest. The production environment of ‘Heungsinso’, which is a short story, etc. In addition, there was a small burden because it was short.
‘All the top actors say the same thing when interviewed, but they started with very narrow works.’
It was Woojin who vaguely recalled an interview with an actor, but this was also close to the correct answer. There are actors who rise as sparkling or rising stars, but they were sparks. life span is short As evidence, there are many actors who have disappeared without rumors even though they were once in a frenzy.
On the other hand, actors who have built up their filmography from the bottom up are long-lasting because their roots are solid.
It was closer to intuition or instinct, but Kang Woo-jin was trying to go the path with longer vitality.
‘Since a major drama has been confirmed, it may be okay to proceed in a small way with ‘Heungshinso’. Well, if there’s no place at the ‘Health Agency’, I can’t help it.’
Quite a bit of time left. A normal actor would live buried in the script of ‘Profiler Hanryang’ at this time, but Kang Woo-jin didn’t have to. At the extreme, I could have entered the subspace hundreds of times the day before filming.
Whatever it was, Kang Woo-jin was sucking up the industry he was experiencing for the first time like a sponge.
About this.
-Sue.
Kang Woo-jin, who was looking at the laptop, turned his head. There was a copy of the ‘Heung Agency’ scenario, and of course, a black square is attached next to the ‘Heung Agency’ scenario. Kang Woo-jin silently picked up a bundle of papers, the scenario for the ‘heungsangso’.
“·······”
Although he read the scenario of ‘Heungshinso’, he did not directly experience or read in the sub-space. It was because I was distracted by the recent subspace experiment and the ‘profiler limit’. I don’t know, but I don’t know if there was no mental fatigue.
But now that it’s sorted out, there’s no problem.
thus.
– Suck.
The moment Woo-jin with his index finger was about to stab the black square.
– Woo-woo, woo-woo.
His phone vibrated. When I check the sender, swearing is displayed.
– Fuck.
The person stored as ‘taffy’ was Woojin’s only blood relative, his younger sister. You haven’t called me in years, but you call out of nowhere?
‘I must have heard the news from my mother 100%.’
Sudden Kang Woo-jin’s bomb declaration. she wants to become an actress It was clear that if I answered that phone call, the teasing of my flesh and blood would pour down. So Woo-jin lightly ignored her phone call. however.
– Woo-woo, woo-woo.
Vibration ringing again. Call again this time. Soon, Woojin Kang overheard. No, she was annoyed at the thought of her sister.
“Ah, did this really turn?”
What’s interesting here is
“huh?”
The number displayed on the cell phone screen is not ‘shit’. An unsaved number is displayed. Did your sister borrow her cell phone to call you? Woojin wanted to, but for now, he put his phone on his ear.
“Yes, hello.”
Then I heard a familiar yet unfamiliar female voice over the phone. She was obviously not blood related.
“This is me, Hong Hye-yeon.”
“·······”
uh? who just said Ho, Hong Hye-yeon? Top actress Hong Hye-yeon called Woo-jin Kang directly. At this moment, Woojin jumped up from his seat. Also, is it a true story! she almost exclaimed. But she barely held back from shouting.
Calm down, Kang Woojin. You have to keep the concept quality now. After reciting several incantations, Woojin’s calm tone was restored.
“hello.”
It’s morning, so my throat is locked, and I spit out a colder voice. This is not intended. Anyway, over the phone, Hong Hye-yeon spoke again.
“…Isn’t the reaction a little lukewarm?”
“Should I have been surprised?”
“Well, it’s not like that.”
“I was surprised.”
“It’s okay. Anyway, I heard that Woojin-sshi has confirmed the role of ‘Agent Park’.”
“yes.”
“It must be quite noisy among the staff right now. It’s even more so because the actor joined unexpectedly. Rumors seem to be spreading quite a bit. Are you all curious?”
In an instant, Kang Woo-jin narrowed his eyes. Did something like that happen? Woojin didn’t know at all, but he calmly continued the conversation.
“is that so?”
“yes. The role of Assistant Manager Park was such a hot potato and it was an issue. Anyway, at this rate, Woojin will become a popular star during the first script reading, right?”
“·······”
“But when I saw it, there was an actor I had never seen before sitting there? It will be fun.”
Hong Hye-yeon’s faint laughter could be heard over the phone.
“I’ve been watching Woojin-ssi from the beginning, so I called to tell him about the issue, then see you at the script reading.”
“I’m rooting for you.”
“What is it, last goodbye? don’t force me to work I am resting right now.”
The call ended with Hong Hye-yeon’s soft laugh. Then, Woojin slowly lowered her cell phone and spat out a low voice to himself.
“Wow… the fuck.”
Just a few days ago, it was just Woojin’s cell phone. But now, top actress Hong Hye-yeon’s number was saved. She even called her name with familiarity with the goddess she had only seen on TV until yesterday.
It was Kang Woo-jin, whose life gradually changed into a gist.
“If I sell this cell phone to Kim Dae-young, I can get hundreds of millions of dollars.”
Woojin, with a smile on his face, poked the black square next to the ‘Health Agency’ scenario.
-Hook!
Kang Woo-jin was sucked into sub-space.
Late afternoon on the same day. one building.
The building itself was old, and it was a place where you could feel the age from the hallway. At the end of that hallway was an iron door with a slightly worn nameplate attached to it.
-Blue gaze film company.
And the inside of the office was narrow as expected, and two men sat facing each other at the desk in the center of the office. A man with small eyes sat on one side, and a man with a square jaw sat on the other. Both are around 40 years old.
Looking at their expressions, they are both very dark.
Perhaps the conversation was already in progress, the square-jawed man let out a long sigh and scratched his head.
“Ha- Then, in the end, you want him to be the male lead. In addition, they use some of their rookies for the other supporting actors.”
Then the small-eyed man on the other side nodded with a firm face.
“you’re right. Well, did you expect it? Let’s think positive though. I came to this point because I liked the director’s scenario.”
The small man with slanted eyes tapped the wad of paper in front of him with his index finger. On the cover of the wad of paper, this title is written in large letters.
-‘Heungsinso’
Either way, the square-chinned man called the director wiped his face with one hand, and the small-eyed man continued with a puzzled face.
“Director, to be honest, I am also upset. But the situation itself is not bad. You can miraculously produce something that almost fell over, right?”
“…but Hu- CEO, how can I raise more funds?”
“You said that a few months ago. Usually, there are a lot of independents and short stories that fall over while talking about it.”
“·······”
“Let’s think positively, Director. It’s a common thing to put actors into this world with money anyway, and ‘Heungsinso’ is a short film, not a commercial film. On the other side, if you confirm the actor’s conditions, they will be responsible for all the investment money. Opportunities like this don’t come often.”
Soon, the director bit his molars hard.
“But the actor you promoted as the male lead was abusive in the past.”
“yes. Park Jeong-hyeok. There have been some pretty big assault cases in the past. I took a break for 2 years with that, and now I’m snooping around for short films or independent films. Then they contacted us about our work.”
“For anyone to see, this isn’t laundry, is it?”
“you’re right. Park Jung-hyeok’s intention to wash with ‘heungsinso’ is correct. ‘I’ll start over from the bottom.’ what a feeling But director, are we not going to ask for clean water? Even in the mud, we have to shoot a movie.”
However, the director with a square jaw covered his head with both hands as if he was confused.
“But… I don’t want this to be the case.”
“Where is it not? The short and independent film market is originally like this. You must have heard of it when you were a drama PD, right? Now, director, let’s stay calm and look positively. Investments and actors are organized in Hankyu.”
The small-eyed man with piercing eyes tapped a bundle of papers with the word ‘heungsangso’ written on it again.
“Anyway, at GGO Entertainment, if the director is okay, production is stopped and wants to proceed immediately. He said he would shoot the investment right away.”
“·······”
The director stopped as he held his head. Probably thinking a lot. The small-eyed man who had been watching him quietly let out a small sigh.
“I don’t have much time to think, Director. several days at most. You have to draw conclusions from it. And by tomorrow, you saw that GGO Enter Chief Park the other day, right?”
“···yes.”
“He’s going to bring some of the newcomers here for supporting roles. It shows her performance. Park Jung-hyeok will be seen after the director’s decision. First of all, while you’re thinking about it, just digest tomorrow’s promise.”
“after-”
Soon, the square-jawed director with tousled hair nodded slowly.
“All right.”
10 minutes later.
A square-jawed director who left the shabby Blue Gaze Film Studio walked down the aisle with a stiff face. In many ways, the harsh reality makes me sigh every second.
Then.
-Sue.
It was as the director descended the gloomy stairs.
-♬♪
The ringtone of his cell phone rang in the pocket of the long padding he was wearing. Thanks to this, he stopped on the stairs and took out his cell phone to check the caller. A slightly brightened face. The director called right away.
“Yes, brother. I was thinking of calling you, but I stopped.”
A male voice answered through the phone.
“Wamma, why did you stop?”
“No, bro, are you busy these days? Aren’t you crazy right now?”
“Even so, don’t you know that after a while it becomes more hell? Where are you?”
“It’s on the Sinsa Station side.”
“It’s good, I have a meeting tomorrow so I can’t stay long. Let’s just drink soju.”
Then, the director with a square jaw left the building and walked in the direction of the subway and nodded.
“Good. The chicken feet you always go to?”
About an hour passed like that.
The time passed 9pm. The director with a square jaw could be found at a chicken feet restaurant near Yangjae Station. The chicken feet restaurant was originally a restaurant, so there were a lot of people even on a Monday night.
in between.
“·······”
He is drinking soju alone, ordered by the director who arrived earlier. Kimchi served as a side dish for side dishes. The picture alone was very pitiful. So was the hard expression.
Then.
-Sue.
The director checked the time. Because I thought that the older brother who was waiting was quite late.
“No, brother, why are you so late?”
Fortunately, about this.
“Hey- Shin Dongchun.”
At the entrance of the Chicken Feet House, someone called the director. Thanks to that, the director with a square jaw stood up with a smile on his face.
“It’s late, it’s late. Is your brother like this?”
“Sorry sorry. It was dirty and clogged up in front of Hi-Go-Yo.”
The man called Big Brother scratched his beard and smiled embarrassingly.
“In addition, the script meeting for ‘Profiler Hanryang’ got longer.”
The man the director calls his older brother is a big-time PD of the drama ‘Profiler Hanryang’.
“But you crazy bastard, why did you sit down with kimchi and soju? miserably.”
It was PD Song Man-woo with a beard.
