I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 127
Only Krnovel
Leading place of ‘Frozen Love’.
Actors, staff, officials, and even reporters. Even though there were only dozens of people gathered at the reading room, the reading room was generally quiet.
“·······”
“·······”
The actors who arrived in advance looked at the script, and the staff and officials did their own thing. Reporters looked down at their phones.
However, they have one thing in common.
-Sue.
Pretending not to be and glancing at the new actor who arrived a few minutes ago. While reading the script, while looking at my phone, I slowly roll my eyes. It was Kang Woo-jin, who was sitting near the end of the U-shaped desk.
-[The strange man next door/ Kang Woo-jin]
The role was close to the minor and minor roles, so the seat was in the back. Anyway, since the overall greeting was already over, Woojin, who was sitting in his seat, was looking down at the script with an indifferent face. It smelled like he didn’t care about his surroundings at all.
soon the actors.
“Woojin-ssi, you are very heavy, there is something about your personality. I’ve heard rumors, but they’re more cynical than I imagined.”
“I know yeah. Judging from how they greeted each other earlier, it doesn’t seem like they have a high nose, right? Are you normally a bit shy?”
“It’s a little bit difficult to get close to, that’s for sure.”
“But is it because he has shown blockbuster-level moves since he was a rookie? Don’t you feel any tension or anything like that?”
“It deserves it. He has turned upside down from Korea to Japan by himself, can a reading field like this make you nervous?”
Reporters gossip spreads.
“It’s cool, my friend. Detonate a nuclear bomb on Korea or Japan.”
“It’s rare. Just by looking at his aura, he’s just a top-class veteran, and he’s the first among rookies like that.”
“It’s usually the first time anything related to him. I was so calm that I couldn’t even get an interview. It’s not easy to get close to him. If you’re a rookie, you should have a bit of a soft taste, but he’s too hard, is it just me?”
“me too. Indeed, is this different from normal rookies? Look at me, as soon as he arrives, he reads the script with an upright expression.”
“Director Kwon Ki-taek is also a guy who crosses the field, so what should I be nervous about reading this much?”
“huh? Hey, this is also the site of Lee Wol-seon?”
“No, that’s what I mean.”
On the other hand, Kang Woo-jin was currently struggling with the sound of his heart alone.
‘Ah- really. It is difficult to adapt to this desolate atmosphere. It’s obvious that everyone’s glancing at me, I don’t know. Let’s ignore it.’
The awkwardness was greater than the tension. Because there was really no one I knew at this reading room. If you think about it, this was the first script reading place that Woojin didn’t know. At least Choi Seong-gun, who was attached, and Lee Wol-seon, the artist, were nowhere to be seen.
‘Well, it might be more comfortable not having writer Lee Wol-seon.’
My breath is choking. Is that why? Kang Woo-jin’s concept quality is getting thicker. The poker face is weighted. Then, to find some peace of mind.
-Hook!
Kang Woo-jin stabbed the black square attached to the script for the first episode of ‘Love to Death’. Soon, Woojin entered an endlessly dark subspace. At this time, he exhales a deep sigh mixed with her comfort.
“Pufu-I’ll live. Let’s take a break here, the atmosphere at the reading room is suffocating.”
Kang Woo-jin doing some stretching. As if he thought he had become Woojin, who had been spending time like that, he moved in front of a row of white squares. The reading is right in front of my nose, and I intended to try reading (experience) right before.
Of course, he chose ‘The Strange Guy Next Door’.
It was an unusual station. It was necessary to be clearer, so repeating the reading (experience) was a natural condition.
Within.
-Sue.
[“Preparing for the reading of ‘P: The Strange Man Next Door’…”]
After the familiar robot-like female voice, Woojin was sucked into the world of the ‘strange man next door’.
backwards.
Kang Woo-jin is real again. In other words, when I returned to the script reading of ‘Love to Freeze’.
“·······”
For some reason, it was hard to open my mouth. No, I can open my mouth, but it’s hard to spit out my voice. The brain gives orders, but the body rejects them. It was because everything that was already imprinted on ‘The Strange Man Next Door’ had grown in volume.
‘······It’s pitiful.’
Kang Woo-jin, who closed his eyes for a while, digests the emotions that are spreading through his blood vessels. She understands and thinks. The world of ‘The Strange Man Next Door’ expands. and.
‘Sue, I can see the sign well.’
Sign language (sign language) filled my head. It is already mastered sign language, but it is further deepened by repeated reading (experience). In addition, Kang Woo-jin felt it.
that the facial muscles have become very flexible.
Her voice was blocked, but her senses of touch and smell were sharpened, and her body felt as light as a feather. no. It’s not light, it’s soft. It was as if my entire body had turned from a hard solid to a soft liquid.
Of course, ‘The Strange Guy Next Door’ had to use his body often for sign language.
It was at this time.
“hello-”
As the beginning of reading arrived, the main and supporting actors began to appear. Everyone greets you with a businesslike smile.
Even then.
“Hey, Woojin? nice to meet you. Haha, I was really surprised by the Japanese director Kyotaro’s case this time.”
I cling to Kang Woo-jin at the seat near the entrance. Almost every actor did. The eyes are all smiling. However, if you look deep into your heart, you will find that there are various emotions. Admiration or jealousy, envy, awe, doubt, wonder, doubt, joy, etc.
among them.
‘This is him… Kang Woo-jin. He definitely doesn’t seem like a rookie, but what the heck does he have?’
The actor, who just shook hands with Kang Woo-jin and moved to the first seat, had a strong ‘doubt’. It was Jang Jeong-hwan, a top actor who played the role of ‘Song Tae-hyung’, the male lead of ‘Love to Freeze’. Jang Jeong-hwan, wearing a hat, was very tall. And the visual that looks like a man with thick lines.
The image was similar to Kang Woo-jin. Her age is 10 years older than Woo-jin.
Jung Hwan Jung was an actor who was known as ‘not working in movies’. He has such an actor. In dramas, I explode, but whenever I go to a movie, I eat porridge. Jung Hwan did just that. Still, in the drama version, it was certain that he flew to a legendary level. Everyone admits that he is a top-notch actor. Of course, the acting is also top-notch.
So writer Lee Wol-seon must have cast them.
Anyway, after Jeong Hwan opened the script, he pretended to have a casual conversation with the actors around him who had arrived.
– Suck.
He cast his eyes on Kang Woo-jin. The reading room became noisy with the arrival of many actors, but Woojin sat calmly as he had at first. Although congratulations and questions were thrown at the actors and officials, she remained steadfast. There was nothing embarrassing or delightful or even arrogant about her.
what should i say about that
‘The child has no waves.’
No shaking is visible. Gradually, Jung Hwan Jang became very curious about Kang Woo Jin.
There were only two acts of Kang Woo-jin he saw. ‘Kim Ryu-jin’ and ‘Park Dae-ri’. Except for Jung Hwan Jeong, everyone in this reading hall would be similar. Both works were huge hits, and it is true that Woojin’s acting there is absurd. It’s not a size that a newcomer can cross.
‘I know you’re good at acting, but are you sure director Kwon or Kyotaro will fall for you?’
It wasn’t just them. Writer Lee Wol-seon, PD Song Man-woo, and Park Eun-mi, writer of ‘Frozen Love’. why? Why are there so many big names around that rookie? Jung Hwan raised his head with strange curiosity.
‘What will happen if you give a shock to that hard figure? What kind of smoke will come out in that unexpected situation.’
The reason was simple. Because in ‘Love to Freeze’, the only actor Kang Woo-jin sticks to was Jeong-hwan Jeong.
‘···Have you tried receiving ad-libs during reading or on-site?’
The role of ‘The Strange Man Next Door’ played by Woojin was short, but the acting depth was the thickest in ‘Love to Freeze’. The difficulty level is unbelievably high. At least that’s what the male lead, Jang Jeong-hwan, thought.
‘Sign language is not an ordinary language, even if you learn it, it will be impossible to do it in a way that doesn’t look unnatural.’
In other words, you have to do well to make a profit, and if you are ambiguous, you will be criticized unconditionally. Even in the middle of the day, I had to enter the expression. There are no lines, but there is a sense of pressure to look like lines. How would that newcomer look at that goddamn difficult being?
It was at the time when Jeong Hwan Jeong’s attention was focused on Kang Woo-jin.
– Kiki.
The closed glass door opened, and director PD and writer Lee Wol-seon entered the reading room full of actors. A woman in a suit was also next to artist Lee Wol-seon. Soon, the actors and staff rose from their seats.
PD and writer Lee Wol-seon spit out a relaxed greeting.
Then.
“Woojin, it’s been a while.”
“Hello, writer.”
Writer Lee Wol-seon, whose flashing earrings stood out, stopped in front of Kang Woo-jin.
“I heard you did something big while I didn’t see you?”
“Somehow.”
“Yeah, congratulations later. First of all, this person here is a sign language expert.”
Writer Lee Wol-seon introduced a woman in a suit who came with her. Probably a sign language interpreter. It was not uncommon for experts to observe the site. What it does is check for errors and give advice. At this, Kang Woo-jin’s heart pounded slightly.
‘Expert- Wow, are you a little nervous? Still, sub-space is an open fraud.’
Then, a simple greeting from the sign language expert and Woojin.
“hello.”
“nice to meet you. I had a lot of fun.”
“thank you.”
After that, writer Lee Wol-seon caught on. The smiling woman asked Woo-jin.
“I heard that writer Park Eun-mi said that? If Woojin attends the script reading, there will be a big change. Do you know what that means?”
“I do not know.”
“is it so? Um, what do you want to know when you see it yourself?”
Here, the actors tilted their heads. Either that or not, writer Lee Wol-seon moved to the top of the desk with a sign language expert.
-Dreuk.
sat down At the same time, directing PD.
“Now, let’s start reading.”
He was in charge of the script reading for ‘Love to Freeze’. Meanwhile, writer Lee Wol-seon asked a small question to the right-hand sign language expert.
“Kang Woo-jin, how do you feel? You can just look at it and tell me. Will there be a gap?”
“…it’s hard to say right now. However, sign language is a language that combines hands, facial expressions, and gestures. Because you have to show your emotions. But Woojin-ssi… how to say, he has a serious poker face, so he has the feeling that he has no expression.”
“Is the face first an error?”
The sign language expert shrugged.
“well. But if you do it as it is now, it will be a problem.”
after a while
The introduction of the actors of ‘Frozen Love’ has begun. Following the female lead, the male lead, Jeong Jeong-hwan, rose.
“This is Jung Hwan Jeong, who plays the role of ‘Song Tae-hyung’.
pouring applause. Introduction to follow. and.
-Dreuk.
“I am Kang Woo-jin, who plays the role of ‘The Strange Man Next Door’. I will work hard.”
Kang Woo-jin’s impactful introduction. The applause came out the same, but the actors’ eyes were subtle. After a round of introductions to the actors, greetings from the kiss staff continued.
“Okay, then, writer?”
When PD looked at writer Lee Wol-seon asking if he had anything to say, writer Lee Wol-seon shrugged his shoulders and replied simply.
“Let’s have a fun reading.”
The words are light, but the meaning is heavy. Lee Wol-seon was famous among star writers for being involved in reading. In contrast to writer Park Eun-mi, who collaborates with her directing, writer Lee Wol-sun expressed her own opinions to the actor without hesitation.
what’s unusual.
“Then, let’s go into the reading.”
– Palak, palak.
Writer Lee Wol-seon leaves everything to the actors at the beginning of the reading. Even if the lines are wrong, even if there is a lack of it, even if the acting is different from the intention, even if the emotions are different, I tend to silently watch the analysis and acting of the actors in the beginning of the reading.
However, by the middle of the day, the appearance changes 180 degrees.
As an analogy, did it suddenly become a carnivore from a herbivore? That’s why there were many rookies who shed tears at the scene of reading her work. Because that’s such a sharp point. In directing, top actors, elder actors, and rookies all stick together equally.
Whatever it is.
“S#1 A house with blackout curtains, mostly black tones. At this time, Song Tae-hyeong wakes up from the bed.”
With the PD’s fingerprints, the reading of ‘Frozen Love’ began. Overall, ‘Love to Freeze’ was the growth of ‘Song Tae-hyung’, played by Nam-joo Jeong Hwan Jeong. A man who is over 30 years old and has ability, but has no communication with people in the world due to severe mysophobia.
‘Song Tae-hyung’ was confined to his own cage, but he liked it.
Since it does not cause harm to others, there is no reason for me to receive it, and even if the relationship is not deep, I can do enough work, so there is no inconvenience in living. ‘Song Tae-hyung’ was extremely disgusted with being disturbed.
Whether it is an object or your own mind.
‘Frozen Love’ was a drama that contained the growth, love, and change of an ‘adult child’, ‘Song Tae-hyung’, either lightly or heavily.
And giving the first change to ‘Song Tae-hyung’.
“S#3 Taehyung Song, grabs hand sanitizer and leaves the house. Just in time, the door from the next door opens and Song Tae-hyeong meets the ‘strange man next door’. Song Tae-hyung doesn’t like him because he’s already met a few times.”
It was ‘The Strange Man Next Door’ by Kang Woo-jin. Soon, Jeong-hwan Jeong glanced at Kang Woo-jin, who was sitting at the other end. narrow the gap
“·······”
Jeong-hwan Jeong, frowning, only made brief eye contact with Woo-jin. Likewise, Kang Woo-jin, who sees him, has no lines. No, it was accurate that ‘The Strange Guy Next Door’ couldn’t speak. Jung Hwan does not know this yet. No, ‘Song Tae-hyung’ was attracted to the eyes of the ‘strange man next door’.
Those strange eyes disturb ‘Song Tae-hyung’s mind.
What is your intention behind it? Why do you keep looking at me when you see me? In a bad mood, ‘Song Tae-hyung’ speaks the first words to the ‘strange man next door’.
“Hey, what do you have to say to me?”
However, the ‘strange man next door’ does not answer.
“·······”
“All right. Are you going to take the elevator now? Then I’ll get on in a little while.”
“·······”
“I will listen positively.”
The scriptwriter ‘Song Tae-hyung’ goes back into the house, and the ‘strange man next door’, who has been looking at the closed front door for a while, goes up the elevator without saying a word. Here PD fingerprints again.
“Song Tae-hyung grumbles in the shoe closet and rubs hand sanitizer. It’s like trying to wash away something bad.”
Song Tae-hyung’s speech.
“Every time I see it, I feel very dirty. Do you have something to say? After- I can’t. I have to move or something.”
After spending the day like that, Song Tae-hyung returns home, and when he glances at the front door next door, he quietly unlocks the door lock password.
– Knock!
‘The strange man next door’ appears again. Again, he doesn’t say anything and just looks at Song Tae-hyung. In the script, there is an expression that the ‘strange man next door’ is holding a plastic bag in one hand. The scene should have ended here. Even Song Tae-hyeong clicked his tongue briefly and rushed into the house.
Camera, close-up of the calm ‘strange man next door’.
Therefore, Kang Woo-jin was just looking at Song Tae-hyung sitting in front of him in a strange way.
‘It ends here. Well- next.’
however.
“Look at this, you.”
Song Tae-hyeong suddenly started talking to the ‘strange man next door’. He was an unscripted line.
“Why do you keep making me uncomfortable? Say it or ignore it. How many times is this. Do you keep reporting that?”
Everyone’s gaze at the reading room is ‘the strange man next door’. No, it was attached to Kang Woo-jin. Woo-jin sees Jung-hwan Jung, but he is clearly embarrassed inside.
‘ok? what. Aren’t those lines in the script? do you have No, there is no line.’
Because it was an unheard of line. However, except for him, the actors at the reading room were aloof.
‘Adlib? Actually, when Janghwan hyung analyzes a character, he sometimes comes up with lines.’
‘I’ve prepared ad-libs this time as well, maybe there are quite a few lines that were adopted that way?’
Because it wasn’t that strange. Of course, writer Lee Wol-seon, who swung the pen around, had no intention of intervening.
‘Amplify the awkwardness, have you been analyzing it in that way? Not bad.’
Because it didn’t really stand out from the scene.
more than anything
‘I wonder how he will react. Well, I’ll take it lightly.’
I wanted to see how Kang Woo-jin would receive the ad lib. There is no doubt. It was Kang Woo-jin, who was admired as the ‘monster rookie’. I won’t be swayed by these common ad libs.
however.
‘Wow- crazy. Are you just going? Why doesn’t anyone hang up?’
‘The strange man next door’. Woojin’s accident stopped.
‘Wait a minute. what about this? yes?’
Although he tried hard to put a calm face on his face, Woojin’s eyes as he looked at the top actor, Jeong Jeong-hwan, sitting in front of him, were inevitably filled with embarrassment.
At this time.
“uh?”
The sign language expert on the right of writer Lee Wol-seon felt something on Woo-jin’s face.
“…Easy? Or something like that. sure, those eyes. I see people who use sign language when conversation is difficult.”
Writer Lee Wol-sun met Woo-jin at the whisper. However, for her part, she couldn’t find embarrassment or embarrassment in Kang Woo-jin now.
but.
‘There must be some things that only experts can see.’
A sign language expert would be more certain here. Kang Woo-jin is currently playing ‘The Strange Man Next Door’. That’s why Lee Wol-seon focused on something else.
‘Still… he can express his eyes so finely that only sign language experts can notice them-‘
It was Kang Woo-jin’s acting.
‘It was an ad-lib that was thrown out suddenly, but it pulls out such a detailed part in an instant? As expected, the technology is going to be top-notch.’
At that time, Jung Jang-hwan’s ad-lib line was additionally thrown.
“Hey, don’t look at me like that. because it’s creepy I beg you.”
“·······”
However, Woojin still did not open his mouth with a calm expression. Still, there are changes. It’s a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of. It was similar to stuttering. Your lips may tremble slightly.
The sign language expert whispered right away.
“The freak. I am thinking about something.”
Jeong-hwan Jeong wrinkles his forehead and pretends to take out his cell phone to Kang Woo-jin on the other end.
“Yes, I understand. I don’t know why you do that to me. It seems that he will continue to do so, so I will report it now.”
Kang Woo-jin stopped his trembling mouth here. He shook his head slightly, then nodded. For some reason, he seemed to understand what he was saying.
And then
-Sue.
For the first time, Kang Woo-jin’s hands moved. It wasn’t such a big deal. clear but short a few seconds at most. Soon, Woo-jin shows his last hand gesture while watching the suit-hwan, who blinks his eyes. Clenching the fist of his right hand. He brought the fist up to his nose. The thumb is pointing towards the nose.
actors who watched it.
‘It’s sign language. It’s good, it doesn’t look unnatural at all right now. Practice… No, wait a minute. practice? It’s an ad-lib that’s not in the script right now? what?’
Each of them spit out a faint admiration or question inwardly.
‘Speak soft enough to confuse me. How long have you been practicing? That’s great. But did you come up with that motion?’
‘I threw an ad-lib, but the sign language came out right away?’
Either that or not, Kang Woo-jin, the ‘strange man next door’, put his fist to his nose.
“·······”
laughed It was a very bright smile, completely different from before. The happiest smile a person can have when the warm sun shines on their face enough to expose their teeth. The moment when an expression fell on his stiff face for the first time.
In response, Jeong-hwan Jeong.
‘First sign language, but it’s not in the script.’
There was no way to know the sign language that came out of the ad-lib of ‘The Strange Man Next Door’, and as ‘Song Tae-hyung’, he spit out what he felt right away as his lines.
“What, what? Why are you laughing? A fist to the nose—are you mocking me?”
However, the laughter of Kang Woo-jin, who had a fist on his nose, grew thicker. Writer Lee Wol-seon was slightly distracted by Woo-jin’s smile.
‘That child could have smiled brightly like that.’
Suddenly, I asked the sign language expert sitting on the right.
“It looks like sign language. What do you mean?”
The sign language expert answered with a small open mouth.
“Your sign language skills are amazing, Mr. Kang Woo-jin. Honestly, I never thought I would have such a pretty smile. Is this scene showing the gap between the two characters?”
“You can see that. Like the difference in position that comes from disconnected conversations.”
The sign language expert nodded slowly and copied the ad-lib sign language that Woojin just did. The end, of course, is to stick a fist to the nose. Of course, it was a smaller gesture than Kang Woo-jin showed.
“The last part of this sign language, where you stick your fist to your nose, is ‘good’. You can show how you feel by how deep you smile. Didn’t Woojin laugh really pretty just now? The full meaning of that sign language.”
Then, the sign language expert recited the meaning.
“It was ‘I like you’.”
End
