“Bo, phoenix??”
Over the phone, director Shin Dong-chun’s voice intensified.
“It’s true that I’ve never heard of such crazy acting, but…is it enough for my older brother to call it that?!”
In the excitement of director Shin Dong-chun, PD Song Man-woo asked again, slightly lowering his voice.
“How many times have you seen her acting?”
“Ah- According to the scenario, about 3 minutes.”
“more. If you look at it longer than that, you will understand my reaction. No, and looking at it the other way around, it’s like saying that you were possessed in those short three minutes.”
“ah······”
“In addition, I’m not judging just by looking at his absurd acting. What should I say about him, his momentum or his aura? The smell of human itself is different. There is a star quality, but the texture is a bit different.”
The texture of Kang Woo-jin, who is somewhat secretive. It was obviously different from the tops you see often in the entertainment world, but it also seemed like a fresh and different possibility to PD Song Man-woo. Around this time, beyond the cell phone, director Shin Dong-chun changed the subject.
“···Writer Park also said that he fell in love with Kang Woo-jin, right?”
“uh. Looking at his current state, it’s not like he fell in love with him, but he sees him as a son-in-law.”
“Huh-that picky writer Park?”
“However, Kang Woo-jin is a bit confident in himself, so he’s like sandpaper.”
“Ah, I saw it for a while, but the atmosphere was different. But should I say that it is 180 degrees different from when I was acting?”
“yes. It’s just a thing to sell to become a big actor.”
PD Song Man-woo, who smiled at the thought of Kang Woo-jin’s solemn face, checked his watch again.
“Anyway, listen up. In conclusion, we also judged him and put him in our work, and he is a guy who seems to be bored with acting that would chew up a lot of tops. Kang Woo-jin, that’s it. That a guy like that personally came to you and showed you a performance.”
“What did you show me?”
“I don’t know how your friend got your screenplay, but isn’t that saying he has affection for your work? If it weren’t for that, there’s no way he’d come to see you so suddenly and show you his acting, right? Now he’s the only thing left to raise the ransom.”
“…love? To my ‘investigation office’?”
“In my opinion, yes. Of course, I also saw Kang Woo-jin briefly, but I don’t think he’s the kind of person who traverses far in search of works.”
Soon, over the phone, director Shin Dong-chun was silent, and in the meantime, PD Song Man-woo added a comment.
“In other words, Kang Woo-jin said he liked your ‘heungsangso’. If you don’t have affection, you can’t go through that kind of trouble, right?”
“I love my work…”
Both of them contained a very large amount of errors. Especially in the word ‘affection’. However, PD Song Man-woo, who had no way of knowing this, proceeded with the work quickly.
“so. Did you get his number??”
“yes? Oh no. It went so suddenly that I couldn’t even catch it.”
“Cheuk, are you going on your way without looking back?”
“yes. It was like that.”
“I will give you the number. It would have been okay if I had come directly like that, but it would be okay if I handed over the number. Get in touch and meet properly. You will understand my heart.”
“I understand, brother.”
PD Song Man-woo hung up the phone like that.
“I went to visit him myself- I guess I’m jealous of something.”
Peek laughed and spat out words to himself.
“jealousy? A star at this age.”
After a while, inside the VIP room.
Including PD Song Man-woo and writer Park Eun-mi, the important production team and main actors of ‘Profiler Hanryang’ continued the meeting with moderate laughter.
While eating, of course.
At first glance, it seemed like a place where silly jokes were exchanged, but even in the middle of it, I’ll point out what I need to do. Most of the conversations started with PD Song Man-woo, but this time writer Park Eun-mi, who was tying up her long permed hair, spit it out.
“Let’s see – Ryu Jung-min should adjust his diet before the script reading, right?”
Soon, the male lead and top actor Ryu Jung-min, who was sitting across from him, smiled while pointing at himself with his index finger. Ryu Jung-min was tall with a height of over 185.
“ah. Author, do you want me to lose weight? more here?”
“huh. Did you rest very well during your break? Are you a bit rich now?”
“Haha, rest. Did you go fishing and ate too much sashimi? All right. It’s the name of author Park, and of course you have to follow it.”
“I keep growing my hair until I have a clear style continuity.”
“Of course, author.”
Behind writer Park Eun-mi, producer Song Man-woo also asked Hong Hye-yeon.
“Hongsta, the clothes you sent to Gaan the other day are too flashy. I tell my stylists to focus on loose-fitting clothes as much as possible. I’ll talk about it at the production meeting.”
Hong Hye-yeon, who swept her long straight hair, smiled.
“Ai, you can tell just by looking at the first part of the script. It’s because our kids are a little greedy. I will tell you clearly.”
“That’s it.”
“By the way, PD-nim, when you answered the phone earlier, Kangwoo…”
“huh?”
Hong Hye-yeon tried to say something, but shut her mouth. In fact, she was concerned about the name Kang Woo-jin, which was mentioned when PD Song Man-woo talked on the phone earlier. But because there are so many people watching, I swallowed my words.
“No, I’ll tell you later.”
“uh? Ah- yes, then.”
At this time.
“But PD-nim.”
Namjoon Ryu Jung-min, who was holding a water cup, immediately asked PD Song Man-woo, who was watching Hong Hye-yeon.
“Who is the actor who plays the role of ‘Park’? No, there are only rumors and no one really knows?”
“Um, that’s it.”
“The scene-stealer actor the writer talked about in the interview is the same person, right?”
“that’s right.”
“Who are you? Ah- I’m curious and I’m going to die.”
As if agreeing with his words, the other actors also turned their attention to PD Song Man-woo. The eyes are full of curiosity. However, only Hong Hye-yeon smoked. At the same time, Ryu Jung-min pulled his body forward and spoke.
“Anyway, the role of Park Dae-ri, the scriptwriter for Part 1, seems to be the most mixed with me, so please give me a little hint so that you can imagine the image during the script analysis.”
“hmm-”
“Is that really Kim Huyeon? Or what? There was also talk of an overseas group. No way- did you really airlift from Hollywood?”
“well.”
“Wow, no reason to be so secretive?”
Ryu Jung-min got a little excited because of the frustration, but Song Man-woo, producer, just smiled a little.
“surprise?”
“Eh??”
“If you want to shock, you have to deceive yourself first, and they say that it is a firecracker to set off the viewers. Be patient. Everyone will see the reading day anyway.”
“Haha, I understand first. But I’m really curious. Even the staff didn’t notice at all.”
Meanwhile, writer Park Eun-mi tapped the side of PD Song Man-woo, who was sitting next to him.
“PD-nim, I heard you asked the actors about that today?”
After PD Song Man-woo, who was aghast, made eye contact with the head of the production office.
“Listen everyone, this is still unconfirmed. I mean script reading. I was thinking of going somewhere to have fun in the form of a group MT to promote friendship after a while.”
I passed it on to the actors sitting in front of me.
“What do you all think? Wouldn’t that be fun?”
A few hours later, late at night. Woojin Kang’s studio.
It was past 10 o’clock. As if she had just washed, Kang Woo-jin appeared while brushing off her wet hair. Soon, he opens the refrigerator and pours bottled water. In the meantime, Woojin’s gaze moved downward.
-Sue.
Where his eyes moved, there were two wads of paper. One was the script for the first part of ‘Profiler Hanryang’, which was received from PD Song Man-woo, and the remaining one was, of course, the scenario for the short film ‘Heungsinso’.
Of course, the black square is also still attached.
Among them, Kang Woo-jin scratched his chin while watching the scenario of ‘Heungshinso’. It reminded me of what happened at Blue Eye Films this afternoon.
“What – should I say that the ‘heungsinso’ opened? Looking at it earlier, it seemed that the main and supporting roles were also confirmed.”
Woo-jin blindly went to the film company. He could have been sacked right at the door, but fortunately, the director’s misunderstanding made it look like he was acting.
“That square-jawed man said he was the director, right? I was a bit surprised, though.”
It might have been natural for him to be surprised because the ability of the sub-space was excellent, but that was it. No matter how good your acting is, in reality the power of the contract is stronger. Next, Kang Woo-jin thought of the handsome man and woman who came along with a fat man named Chief Park.
‘They’ll play the lead or supporting role. Very handsome and pretty though. Are there a lot of unknown people like that in the entertainment industry? It’s tough.’
Kang Woo-jin thought he was lucky to have joined the ‘Profiler Hallyang’. Anyway, ‘heungsinso’ has crossed the water.
“‘Heungshinso’, even if it feels a bit wasteful. No blows.”
I enjoyed reading the scenario quite a bit, and the world of ‘Heungsinso’ experienced through the actual sub-space was also full of excitement.
“I almost got fed up when that wife figure smelled me.”
But there was nothing else to be thirsty for. At least in Kang Woo-jin’s opinion, that was the case. It’s still a starting point for an actor, and it’s not just a ‘healing agency’ when it comes to scenarios. It was just that kind of heart.
thus.
– Took.
Kang Woo-jin roughly moved the scenario of ‘Heungshinso’ to the corner of the room. Lightly. Soon, in Woojin’s head, interest in ‘heungsangso’ faded. Kang Woo-jin lays down on the blanket as it is. It was when he habitually picked up his cell phone and accessed the Internet.
– Woo-woo, woo-woo.
The phone spits out a long vibration. It was a phone call. However, what is displayed on the screen is an unsaved number. At this, Kang Woo-jin, who frowned slightly, muttered softly.
“What is it, isn’t my phone too busy these days?”
It’s because I’ve been getting calls from unknown numbers lately. Even so, Woojin put the cell phone on his ear.
“hello.”
A strange male voice was heard over the phone.
“Kang Woo-jin??”
“yes. Where are you?”
“Ah, I am Shin Dong-chun, whom I met earlier at Blue Gaze Films. Do you remember…? You showed me acting.”
In an instant, Kang Woo-jin recalled the square-jawed man he met at a film company earlier in the afternoon. the director? But why are you calling tonight? Than how did you know my number? Oh, starting with the voice. It was night, so Woo-jin put more weight on his neck, which was locked.
Then Woojin’s voice suddenly became cool.
“Are you the director of ‘Heungsinso’?”
“that’s right.”
“How did you know my number? I never told you.”
It was pure curiosity. No matter how much I thought about it, it was Woojin who never gave me his number. On the other hand, director Shin Dong-chun’s answer over the phone was covered with a deep apology.
“ah! sorry. I got the number from PD Song Man-woo, not from my older brother.”
“Are you Song Man-woo PD?”
“Yes, yes.”
Song Man-woo PD? Why is that man here? When Kang Woo-jin wrinkled his face slightly and tilted his head, director Shin Dong-chun spat out words mixed with caution.
“Mr. Kang Woo-jin. Could you please see me again?”
“…I’d like to hear the reason first.”
“Ah- that’s something I have to tell you as an actor. If you tell me where Woojin lives, I will go there now.”
Oh, it’s a bit burdensome.
“You mean now?”
“Yes, I will go right away.”
No, Kang Woo-jin was very burdened.
“no. See you tomorrow morning.”
The next morning, at a cafe near Kang Woo-jin’s studio.
Director Shin Dong-chun was sitting alone in a cafe near Suji, Yongin. It was because Kang Woo-jin, a secret actor, lived around here. Anyway, the current director Shin Dong-chun’s appearance was very haggard. His beard is thick and his dark circles are thick, probably because he didn’t sleep.
It was when he let out a sigh and put the lightweight padding on.
-Kik.
The cafe door opened and a man wearing a long padded jacket entered. It was Kang Woo-jin with an indifferent face. Soon, as soon as he found Woo-jin, director Shin Dong-chun with a square jaw.
‘Certainly… after listening to my older brother, the texture is somewhat different from that of ordinary actors.’
He raised his hand so Kang Woo-jin could see it.
“This way!”
Woojin, expressionless, gave a small bow and sat across from director Shin Dongchun. Director Shin Dong-chun was quick to start the conversation.
“H-hello, Woojin.”
“yes. hello.”
Kang Woo-jin’s reaction is very static. Yesterday was the same, but today was even more cynical. Of course, in the eyes of director Shin Dong-chun. Nonetheless, director Shin Dong-chun continued his remarks.
“I’m sorry for calling you suddenly last night. I did it after thinking about it, but it was a bit rude.”
“no. So what do you want to say?”
Here, director Shin Dong-chun, who was looking at Kang Woo-jin on the other side, swallowed a dry spit. It was after this that his mouth opened.
“Although it is sudden. Woojin, have you read my scenario, ‘Heungsangso’? What do you think?”
Director Shin Dong-chun’s voice trembles a little. How can I say it, the feeling of someone who confesses their feelings?
On the other hand.
“·······”
Kang Woo-jin just stares at director Shin Dong-chun without changing his expression. An unknown face. That’s roughly 10 seconds. Woojin suddenly recited calmly.
“It was a work I was attached to.”
Directed by director Shin Dong-chun, his eyes widen.
“attachment?”
At the same time he cried.
time over two years. It seemed as if the countless neglects and pains I had experienced over the past three years had been washed away. it’s love She was the first actress to be attached to her own work. Director Shin Dong-chun was quite moved.
In one word of that grave Woojin Kang.
“Attachment… you mean?”
“yes. It is attachment.”
Director Shin Dong-chun, whose heart was pounding, stared at the expressionless Woo-jin and muttered inwardly.
‘It was a scenario that was always, always ignored. My ‘excitement center’ is. But… it’s love. An actor who doesn’t even know me.’
Director Shin Dong-chun’s emotion quickly turned into thrill. It resonated greatly with Woojin’s word ‘attachment’. Honestly, from what PD Song Man-woo said on the phone yesterday.
‘I don’t know how that friend got your screenplay, but doesn’t that mean he has a lot of affection for your work?’
It was director Shin Dong-chun, who I couldn’t sympathize with.
However, I was convinced by the word ‘attachment’ that Kang Woo-jin spat out just before. That plain actor likes my scenario and loves it. Even Kang Woo-jin was an actor who was attracted by big names such as PD Song Man-woo and writer Park Eun-mi, and joined a super-large program like ‘Profiler Hallyang’.
What about his acting skills that make his eyes fall out?
Is that kind of actor affectionate and attached to a short screenplay by an unknown director? Director Shin Dong-chun’s many sufferings and wounds accumulated in his heart began to be purified. Everything trampled on and ignored. To that extent, director Shin Dong-chun’s current life was no different from hell.
Soon, director Shin Dong-chun’s eyes filled with tears in his heart.
“thank you. Thank you… Wow, Mr. Woojin. really.”
Kang Woo-jin, who has a poker face, looked at director Shin Dong-chun across the street with his mouth shut.
“·······”
I tilted my head indistinctly.
