I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 144
Only Krnovel
‘Dinner for one day’? At PD Yoon Byung-seon’s words, a simple imagination unfolded in Kang Woo-jin’s head. It reminded me of the little bourgeois variety shows I had seen.
‘Are you going to try it once before starting the main shoot? The feeling of working part-time before starting business. Ohh- Sounds like fun?’
Kang Woo-jin, who is not a producer himself, but tries to insert himself into a variety show. Something was confusing and awkward with the guests. I was trembling even though I felt a sense of pressure.
In terms of mood, it makes a fuss, but Woojin, who is equipped with concept quality, asked in a calm tone.
“Do you want to rent a shop and run it for a day?”
PD Yun Byung-seon raised his glasses and smiled.
“That’s it. The restaurant has already been recruited, and um- why is there such a restaurant? It’s like a kimbap paradise.”
“ah.”
“We’re going to run K snack food in the US, but since eating too much food is boring, we’re going to go with a variety of concepts like Gimbap Cheondang.”
In other words, although the main menu is snack food, they are going to try various Korean foods such as instant gimbap. Afterwards, PD Yun Byung-seon received papers from nearby writers and handed them out to Woo-jin. There were actual photos and drawings.
Roughly, it feels like expressing the concept of ‘our table’.
– Palak.
While Woo-jin was looking at those papers, PD Yoon Byung-seon leaned forward and continued.
“I heard that the overseas location shooting for ‘The Island of Disappearance’ will start on the 30th tomorrow and will last for a little over a month.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“According to Choi Dae-pyo, during the filming, around October 17th? He said he would come in for about a week on a domestic schedule, so he’s going to try to match the shooting as well, right?”
“Is that so?”
Producer Yoon Byung-seon nodded and this time presented a transparent file.
“Um, I already talked to Choi Dae-pyo on the phone. This is the expected schedule- I’ve been watching the filming of ‘One Day Diner’ for about two days. One day to meet the performers in advance and practice cooking, one day to put in and run the store the next day.”
End of it without enough practice? It was almost spartan. Well, it’s a variety show, so it’s natural? After all, words are practice, so getting a feel for them is all. Whatever it was, it was Kang Woo-jin who was not very nervous about cooking practice.
‘Huh. I have recipes and techniques.’
It’s because I’ve learned the skill of a chef with the grace of subspace. Around this time, following PD Yoon Byung-seon, the female main writer sitting next to him was adding explanations about the shooting.
“As PD-nim said, the recruitment of restaurants for the ‘1st Diner’ has already been completed. First of all, it’s not Seoul. Of course, guests who come to the surprise operation will receive applications- Cham Cham dishes will not be over 30 like the real Kimbap Cheondang.”
“then?”
“First of all, I’m only looking at about five moderately. I’m going to look at it and decide whether to increase or decrease it. just the basics. Ramen, gimbap, or tteokbokki, etc.”
indeed. Woojin thought he was happy. To be honest, if you only have dozens of foods like Gimbap Cheondang, you’ll be distracted by what you’re good at. At this time, the main writer showed the tablet and opened his mouth again.
“You know this chef, right?”
Chef profiles with familiar faces were being printed on the tablet. A character who often appeared in variety shows. Kang Woo-jin had also seen it a few times on You Tube in the past.
“Yes, I’ve seen it on TV.”
“On the day of the practice shooting, a teacher was put in for each part, and this person was cast for the cooking part. The chef will come and teach you the basics of cooking recipes.”
“okay.”
Yoon Byung-seon PD interrupts. the smile is vicious
“Of course, creativity can be added from the handed-down recipe. It feels like making it yourself and tasting it for our staff.”
“You ate, but what if you don’t like it?”
“It’s out. But since this is going to be a food sold in the US, it shouldn’t be enough to eat in moderation. So, if you can, you will have to go with the recipe handed down.”
It was natural. It’s a front that promotes famous Korean food to foreign countries, but it shouldn’t be made properly. PD Yoon Byung-seon added this.
“Well, honestly, have you ever seen anything like that? A performer showed a creative dish on the show, but it’s so popular that it’s sold on the market? Other than that, it’s a bit difficult.”
Ah- are you talking about that? It was the same Woo-jin that I remembered faintly. Dishes other than ramen, pizza, and spaghetti that celebrities have shown on various food programs are sold as actual products.
Producer Yoon Byung-seon changed the subject to Woo-jin, who was suddenly drooling.
“Anyway, I’m going to shoot with this nuance, and that will take up about half of the first episode. However, not all performers have the same format. Kitchen, hall, counter and publicity. Each section will have different training and different positions. That’s why.”
“I’ll cook for you.”
But before PD Yoon Byung-seon’s question was finished, a nonchalant Woo-jin intervened.
“I don’t think it’s bad.”
Thanks to that, the writers, starting with PD Yoon Byung-seon, opened their eyes a little wider, and soon a little laugh was mixed in. Because I wanted to shoot a fun scene. Of course, everything is currently being filmed.
“Oh yeah? Is Woojin good at cooking? Something- I can’t imagine. No matter how you look at it, you don’t look like the type who is good at cooking, right? Is it because it’s clunky? How are you guys?”
When PD Yun Byung-seon asked the writers around him, four or five writers answered while looking at the silent Woo-jin.
“Ah- um, don’t you think you’re just going to be dazzling?”
“that’s right. Tuk-tuk tuk-tuk? You mean you’re just cooking for survival?”
“But if you’re good at acting, vocals, foreign languages… and even cooking, you’re too swindling. You can do nothing.”
Most of them were expressions that made me think Woojin would just cook for himself. PD Yoon Byung-seon’s eyes were also similar. Well, Woojin, who thought it would be better to keep his mouth shut here, chose silence. Then, PD Yoon Byung-seon slowly nodded.
“Okay, then Woojin is in the kitchen. It’s because I don’t look like I’m going to cook, so I think I’ll draw more attention. What is it, whether the position will be the main or assistant, our staff will try it on the day of the shoot and judge!”
“Then, is the kitchen finalized?”
“Yes, Mr. Woojin, he will go to the cooking department confirmation.”
He let out a strange smile. Of course, the writers were the same. Watching Kang Woo-jin solemnly fail.
“I’m looking forward to it, Mr. Woojin.”
It was the face he wanted.
At the same time, inside an unorganized office.
The office is littered with a lot of stacks of papers, various posters, and books. A desk placed in an office that resembles a garbage dump at first glance. The top of the desk is also messy. However, what stood out was the framed frame with the ‘Profiler Hanryang’ poster.
A man is sitting at such a desk. A familiar beard. It was Song Man-woo PD. In other words, this is the newly opened production company.
“hmm.”
Anyway, PD Song Man-woo, whose face has become swollen as if he has gained weight, is looking closely at the desk. It is serious that the expression is very serious.
“It was fine-”
As he spits out to himself, he sees two stacks of paper stacked on top of each other. Of course, it was a script. Looking closely, it was familiar. why? Because the script for this second part was handed over to Kang Woo-jin and returned.
Then, why is Song Man-woo struggling while looking down at the script?
Then, PD Song Man-woo.
“·······”
Even as I looked down at the script, I remembered the phone call I had with Kang Woo-jin a few days ago after getting the script back.
It started with the voice of PD Song Man-woo, full of expectations.
“Ugh! Did you see everything?! how was it?”
Kang Woo-jin’s answer, as always, was cynical and clear.
“It was fine, PD.”
To PD Song Man-woo, this sounded a bit ambiguous.
“…was it okay?”
“yes.”
“Two?”
“yes. both were fine. If I had to say it, ‘Praised Chef’ was a little better.”
was it okay? Is this good or not? PD Song Man-woo kept his mouth shut for a while, then asked another way.
“Then, what if I hand over these two scripts to Woojin? Do you think Woojin will do it? Can I be honest with you? I will anyway.”
“I am not greedy.”
“ah.”
“sorry.”
“·······”
Producer Song Man-woo, who came to his senses at the low-pitched apology, shook his head slowly.
“No, Woojin, what are you sorry about? Rather than that, you decided on Hanryang only after reading the script for episode 1, right?”
“yes.”
“But you mean these aren’t?”
“That’s right.”
Producer Song Man-woo, who returned to the reality and his office, leaned back on his chair. And then a long sigh.
“Fuhu- The fact that Kangtotem is like that means both of them are mingling.”
PD Song Man-woo wears his beard slowly. Kang Woo-jin may not have said it in a twisted manner, but there was a nuance of being polite. Perhaps, considering the relationship with PD Song Man-woo, the facts were removed in moderation.
‘Even if the totem doesn’t activate, I wanted to try it even if I just heard that it’s okay. Hu- I’m very reluctant to hear it.’
more than anything
‘If Woo-jin is not greedy enough, even if he goes through the script revision process… it’s meaningless.’
PD Song Man-woo’s blueprint had to include Kang Woo-jin unconditionally. That’s why I showed Kang Woo-jin the script first, even under the guise of evaluating the script.
But this is like going backwards.
Thanks to that, PD Song Man-woo put the scripts he was reading into the drawer of his desk. He even made his face darker.
“This doesn’t work, I’ll have to find it again.”
The next day, September 30th, at the airport.
It was a vast airport with many planes coming and going. However, the scenery is unfamiliar. Foreigners were seen, but not many, and Koreans were also quite familiar, but not all. It was natural. Because this is not Korea.
This airport was Danang International Airport in Vietnam.
Such Da Nang International Airport was crowded with a lot of people, and at this moment, a large group rushed through the arrivals hall. At a glance, it was an unusual number of people. 50 people easily exceeded it. As a result, the attention of people lined up in the airport lobby is focused.
Foreigners, of course, even Koreans who have traveled.
“uh!! hey there! You look like Ryu Jung-min?!”
“really?! where?”
“There you are! Arrivals side! That woman is Hayu! The guy behind him is Kang Woo-jin?!”
“crazy! Is it real?! ah! Go for it! ‘The Island of the Missing’ was filmed!”
“wow! come quickly! See it up close!”
It was true. Because that huge group was the real ‘Island of the Missing’ filming team. It was quiet only in Da Nang, but there was already an uproar in Korea.
『[Star Talk] Ryu Jung-min, Ha Yu-ra, Kim Yi-won, Jeon Woo-chang and Kang Woo-jin···Director Kwon Ki-taek’s ‘Island of Disappearance’ overseas location shooting departure/photos”
『Incheon Airport crowded with teams from ‘The Island of the Missing’』
『The ‘issue monster’ Kang Woo-jin who calmly signs autographs for fans who flocked in/Photo’
The overseas location schedule for ‘The Island of Disappearance’ began. Therefore, in the huge crowd, led by director Kwon Ki-taek, dozens of staff members and lead actors were mixed. Soon, onlookers began to gather around the ‘Island of the Missing’ teams. There are too many Koreans.
“wow!! hello!!”
“Kyaaak!! Jungmin Ryu! Ryu Jung-min!!”
“Brother Woojin! That ‘strong heart’!!”
“Hayura crazy! The proportions are crazy!”
“Is Kim Yi-won and Jeon Woo-chang behind me?!”
Because there were a lot of amazing top actors. Of course, there were supporting actors besides them, but the onlookers were just busy watching the top actors. Slowly, the ‘Island of the Missing’ team was in danger of being isolated due to crowds of onlookers.
“wait a minute!! I’ll be gone for a while!!”
At the entrance of the airport, dozens of men rushed to make a path. Line PD, who is in charge of overseas locations, appeared. Soon, the actors and the ‘Disappearing Island’ team leave the airport following the path the guards made. In the meantime, onlookers were busy taking pictures with their cell phones.
yet.
-Sue.
The ‘Missing Island’ team arrived in front of several vans and minibuses parked right in front of the airport.
“You can board in turn! I’ll move right to my accommodation!!”
The ‘Disappearing Island’ team starts getting into the car one by one at the cry of Line PD. In the meantime, Kang Woo-jin, wearing a hat, catches the eye.
“·······”
He looks around the airport with a poker face on. He was running wild in his cold face and inside.
‘Wow- Mr. Danang. It still seems a bit overseas, right? Are all those trees palm trees?? Something! Something definitely smells like another country!’
The first impression Kang Woo-jin spit out while looking up at the murderous sunlight shining on his face was simple.
‘But is it hot? crazy. I’m ripe, I’m ripe You’re acting here?!’
Choi Seong-geon with a ponytail stuck to Woo-jin’s side, wiping his sweat. face full of hell
“Ugh- It’s hot, it’s murderous, isn’t it? Are you okay Woojin?”
Kang Woo-jin’s answer was full of toughness.
“Enough, sir.”
‘The Island of Disappearance’ has entered an overseas location.
About two weeks later, Seoul. October 17th.
The place is the living room of a luxurious house. An old man sitting on a sofa in a living room with mostly wooden interiors. A face full of wrinkles with short white hair. In terms of age, he is much older than director Kwon Ki-taek. The force he gave off was also extraordinary.
It exudes a bit of old man’s power.
In the seat next to him, a man in his 40s, full of difficulties, was talking in the middle of the day.
“Go, Director. Even so… wouldn’t it be difficult to find an actor who has mastered sign language? You know that- usually, you practice or use a double, don’t you?”
“yes.”
“Yeah, besides, not all of the acting is sign language, and isn’t sign language acting all about dozens of cuts? Finding an actor who has learned sign language for that is probably- Director, actors learn foreign languages, including English, and do not learn sign language.”
“hmm.”
“Moreover, while aiming for an international film festival, isn’t it the director’s 100th film? The condition is that acting must be number one.”
“·······”
At the man’s words, the veteran director shut his mouth. just stare at the man But why does it feel like a beast growling quietly? Soon, the sweaty man lowered his eyes and changed his words.
“I-I’ll do my best to find it.”
The veteran director suddenly took out his cell phone from his pocket and turned on something. Then I showed my cell phone to the man.
“Where is this friend now?”
The man with his head tilted his eyes at his phone. Youtube video was playing on my phone. An edited version of a famous Japanese talk show. A scene where an actor has a conversation with an audience in sign language.
-The scene where Kang Woo-jin speaks Japanese sign language on the Japanese national talk show Ametoke Show!!
‘Ametoke show!’ It was Kang Woo-jin in the inside.
