I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 158
Only Krnovel
Kang Woo-jin, who checked the current status of the ‘drug dealer’ in his room in Danang, Vietnam.
“It really turned…”
I was genuinely in awe. Her hair was a mess because she woke up, but her eyes were still as big and lively as her eyes. Because the thrill was flowing.
“Crazy, one million? 1 million viewers?”
Even when the number of viewers exceeded 250,000. All of these numbers were new to Kang Woo-jin, and he was also surprised. However, there were no major seizures because the level of subspace was known. However, when I saw the 1 million audience breakthrough with my own eyes, the echo itself was different.
“Wow- Mr. It won’t open.”
First commercial film. the success of the film. The picture that I always saw in articles or on TV appeared in reality, and one of the protagonists of that reality is myself. It was a situation that would give goosebumps enough as Kang Woo-jin, whose inner owner is a petit bourgeois.
Is that why?
-Sue.
Kang Woo-jin, who slowly lowered his phone, suddenly laughed.
“This taste. It seems that you are an actor with this taste.”
This tingle you feel right now, or a huge sense of accomplishment. Woojin digested at least a little the feelings of many top actors around him. It’s damn hard, but at this moment, all the hard work is gone. Then Woojin, who was sobbing like a madman, recalled the subspace grade of ‘Maak Shang’.
-[4/Scenario (Title: Drug Dealer), Class A]
Class A. The grade of ‘Drug Dealer’ set by Subspace was A, and although it is difficult to make a clear prediction as it is the first time that a commercial film has been produced.
“Three million… no, maybe five million?”
It was Kang Woo-jin who imagined up to 5 million viewers. maybe even more. In other words, more than 1 million, 3 or 5 million people saw Kang Woo-jin’s acting. Here, Woojin guessed one thing.
‘Ah, ‘Drug Dealer’ didn’t rise above A rank because he paid for it?’
A ‘drug dealer’ rather than asking for money might have been more amazing. Well, it’s already showing enough strength. Here, Woojin suddenly remembered something.
“Wow- wait. If Class A is more than 5 million-”
If an A-level green-bully ‘drug dealer’ takes more than 5 million copies, how about a higher level than that? Woojin remembered the movies he was working on.
-[3/Scenario (Title: Island of the Missing), Grade S+]
-[7/Scenario (Title: A Stranger’s Bizarre Sacrifice), S+ Grade]
Currently, these were S+ movies, the highest rating in sub-space, and Woojin, who had slightly widened eyes, recited without even realizing it.
“How many spectators do you think an S+ class can gather?”
backwards.
Kang Woo-jin, who tried to suppress his emotions, came out of the room in time for the standby time of ‘The Missing Island’. It was the lobby of the hotel where Choi Seong-gun met, and teams such as Han Ye-jeong and Jang Su-hwan were already waiting, including Choi Seong-gun with a ponytail.
Of course, everyone was just checking the news of the ‘drug dealer’.
“Oops, our Kangstar-nim is entering.”
Congratulation poured out to Woojin, who was wearing a poker face.
“older brother! Congratulations on your first 1 million!”
“Congratulations, brother.”
“very! I think it will hit the jackpot, drug dealer!”
To the extent of dancing around. Of course, Kang Woo-jin also wanted to surrender to their rhythm, but he held back. Instead, it blew cold air.
“It’s because everyone suffered.”
Soon, Kang Woo-jin and his team boarded a van waiting in front of the hotel. This car was to travel to the filming location of ‘The Island of the Missing’, and the stylists who applied sunscreen at the same time as they set off opened their mouths.
“brother! You’re good right?? No, 1 million in 3 days of release!”
“that’s right! If it were me, I would have been holding onto my phone and searching!”
Han Jeong-jeong, who was opening a coordinating book, was coldly stuck.
“I’ll match my brother’s lines. ‘I’m delighted.’”
Kang Woo-jin agreed lowly.
“answer.”
Choi Seong-gun, who was sitting in the passenger seat at the height of the chatter and had been looking at his cell phone for a long time, turned his head. The smile on his lips is thick.
“Woojin. No, Kangstar? After our overseas location is over, we should shoot a few more commercials when we return to Korea.”
“Is that so?”
“That’s right. From inquiries to public relations, it explodes. When I go back, I’ll be doing something like You Tube to prepare for the end of the year. Oh, but I’ll take a day or two off.”
Cole cole cole. Woojin nodded furiously inwardly, but on the outside he pretended to be strong.
“There is no problem even if you change the schedule right away.”
“You’re a monster, that’s right. Me and the kids are half broken now? Let’s get some rest.”
“Yes, sir.”
“And director Kim Do-hee called me in the morning? If ‘Drug Dealer’ continues to rise, it seems that the BEP (Break-Even Point) will be passed lightly. What is BEP? From my point of view, ‘Drug Dealer’, if you do well, you’ll have a money party. Anyway, I think director Kim Do-hee will take care of you around the end of the settlement. It’s a bonus concept, but can you think of more than twice the original appearance fee?”
“ah.”
“But even if director Kim Do-hee didn’t tell me, I was going to show off.”
At the time of Kang Woo-jin’s ‘Drug Dealer’ contract, there was a ransom negotiation, and it was a little different from the usual cameo contract. In the first place, when the ‘Drug Dealer’ was in a barren state, Woojin rescued it, and Kang Woojin’s momentum, who was rising at the time, was included. Therefore, Nuance was a supporting role.
In other words, director Kim Do-hee takes care of a bonus of more than 100% in addition to the existing appearance fee.
It was at least in billions.
Kang Woo-jin, whose head quickly became a flower garden, desperately endured the twitching of the corners of his mouth. Seong-gun Choi, who had no way of knowing this, changed the subject. For some reason, it turned into a serious face.
“That’s it, Woojin. Isn’t Gabok Ahn the director? No matter how you look at it, it seems like you came to see you suddenly appearing in Vietnam, right?”
Was it like that? Kang Woo-jin honestly expected it a little. Because the legs were tight.
‘Because I came to Vietnam after contacting the CEO saying he wanted to see me.’
However, Kang Woo-jin’s inspiration was weak. Even top actors and director Ahn Ga-bok, who are revered by the film industry, just feel like the grandfather next door to Kang Woo-jin, and Woo-jin was uncomfortable with him.
‘Old man. No, that spirit creature grandfather’s eyes are a bit cocky.’
The questions posed at the restaurant the other day were also very meaningful. A very dangerous person. Soon, Kang Woo-jin nodded calmly.
“It seemed so.”
“hmm. You would have already had a conversation with director An Ga-bok, so you know, but like rumors that have already been rumored among actors, director An Ga-bok will probably appear in the filming today.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Regarding this, I’ve been digging up the recent status of director An Ga-bok.”
Choi Seong-gun, who lowered his voice slightly, muttered.
“It’s not certain, but it seems director Ahn Ga-bok is aiming for the ‘Cannes Film Festival’ as his 100th film.”
‘Cannes Film Festival’. The awards ceremony is one of the most prestigious international film festivals in the world. It was a film festival attended by movie monsters from all over the world, including Hollywood.
“You know? Director Ahn Ga-bok won the Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival in early 2000, and several other films were nominated. Actors also occasionally won awards. Well, director An Ga-bok is just a legend himself.”
no? Not at all. It was the first information he had heard in his life, but Kang Woo-jin nodded her head indifferently.
“Go ahead.”
“There is no information at all about the scenario or content of director An Ga-bok’s 100th film, but what the Cannes Film Festival is aiming for is probably the Grand Prize, the Palme d’Or.”
“···sign language.”
“uh?”
“Director Ahn Ga-bok asked me about sign language.”
“Do you speak sign language?”
“yes. I remember it because it was a bit out of the blue.”
“Sueo-ra- Sueo… Hmm.”
Choi Seong-gun, with a ponytail, opened his mouth after sweeping his chin.
“Director An Ga-bok couldn’t have asked a meaningless question.”
Then Seong-gun Choi flashed.
“Recently in Korean and Japanese mass media, Woojin has been known about your sign language, right? There must be an acting part, but did Director Ahn Ga-bok fall in love after watching Sueo? Then, there may be a high possibility that the work being prepared this time will include some part of the sign language.”
“·······”
“Well, an actor who does sign language is unique. No, almost not in Korea. Furthermore, director An Ga-bok is the type to risk his life on everything that is inserted into his work. If all of your guesses are correct, Woojin deserves to be greedy for you.”
Um, am I a little different? Conversely, Kang Woo-jin did not like director Ahn Ga-bok’s works. How to say, I haven’t seen his screenplay yet, but my instincts were telling me. Director Ahn Ga-bok is dangerous.
‘I don’t know if it’s Khan or Kang, let’s avoid that spirit creature grandpa for now. Something- I don’t like the feeling of being caught.’
If other actors heard this, they would call it an idiot, but for Kang Woo-jin, the quality of the concept was several times more important than the Cannes Film Festival.
escape? yes, that’s right
Kang Woo-jin was starting to want to avoid director Ahn Ga-bok a little, and Choi Seong-gun, who was looking at Woo-jin for some reason, tied his hair back and coughed.
“hmm! That- Woojin-ah, I’m asking just in case. Are you also greedy for the Cannes Film Festival?”
Woojin, who was looking at Choi Seong-gun calmly, answered lowly. It was a strange answer.
“I do not know.”
“Is there anything you don’t know?”
“Yes.”
“·······”
Choi Seong-gun, who kept his mouth shut, muttered inwardly.
‘Ha- Mr. Even if it’s one in a thousand, even if it’s one in ten thousand, if Woo-jin kicks director Ga-bok Ahn… it’s a really big accident.’
Desperation was mixed.
Meanwhile, at the same time.
Similar to Kang Woo-jin’s team, you can see a group moving to the filming site of ‘The Island of the Missing’ in a van. In the car, a familiar old man. It’s still shorts, but today it was director An Ga-bok wearing sneakers instead of slippers.
“······hmm.”
He was looking out the sweltering window with his arms folded, and he took off his safari hat, perhaps feeling a little stuffy. His short gray hair is revealed. Around director Ga-bok Ahn, there was a red-faced head of a film company and five employees.
The atmosphere was still.
While everyone was doing what they had to do, such as looking at their cell phones or viewing transparent files, it was the representative of the film company who broke the car.
“Director.”
Director Ahn Ga-bok, who kept his gaze outside the window, responded calmly to the representative’s call.
“okay.”
“After seeing Kang Woo-jin’s acting form today, are you going to talk about our work right away?”
“well.”
“At least, I would like to try sign language at least once. The atmosphere and balance, etc., can be different from what the director thinks when you see it in person.”
It was not wrong, but director Ahn Ga-bok had a different idea.
“Hey, hey.”
Director Ahn Ga-bok calls the representative of the film company. It’s a calm tone, but the old man’s charisma is deep in it.
“I understand your intentions, but I’ve been in a hurry since the last time. I must have told you several times to fix that urgent personality.”
“Ah… I’m sorry. I was in a bit of a hurry when I thought I was seeing Kang Woo-jin.”
“Director Kwon has already given enough consideration. But do you go to the filming set and ask for the sign language needed for my work? Is that the audition hall?”
“I made a mistake.”
“Simple questions are fine, but going deep is a nuisance.”
“Yes, Director.”
Director Ahn Ga-bok, who was looking at the head of the film company with his head bowed, muttered to himself.
‘Today, it would be enough to judge Kang Woo-jin’s vessel and give him a proper notice. Her subtle substance is a combination of both.’
The CEO, who coughed slightly, changed the subject.
“Maybe Kang Woo-jin noticed it to some extent. He met me in Vietnam after giving me a word in advance. In addition, that Seong-gun Choi is the representative, isn’t it?”
“There aren’t many people like him on this floor.”
“Information about our film is strictly confidential, but you may be guessing that we are aiming for the Cannes Film Festival. Representative Choi, that nobleman, is so dangling.”
“It doesn’t matter. There were moderate rumors.”
The representative of the film company laughed haha, perhaps to arouse the atmosphere here.
“Still, when I hear that I am interested in acting as an actor in the director’s work, wouldn’t I be openly surprised by Kang Woo-jin, that rookie? I’ll jump right in, ha ha ha.”
He paid attention to the staff around him. means to follow. In response, the film company employees quickly opened their mouths.
“of course! No, Ryu Jung-min, Ha Yu-ra, and Hong Hye-yeon of ‘The Island of Disappearance’ are also going to be crawling and receiving scenarios, but if you are a rookie, what can you say?”
“Haha, by the way, Kang Woo-jin is so lucky that he explodes this year. Less than a year after his debut, Kwon Ki-taek was followed by Kyotaro. What’s more, you’re getting attention from director Ga-bok Ahn.
“No matter how much that friend Kang Woo-jin is flying right now, it’s a waste of time to think about it if it’s Director Ahn Ga-bok’s 100th film!”
As if it was a satisfactory assist, the representative of the film company made a closing comment.
“Even for a Cannes movie, I’m worried that Kang Woo-jin will bow down. ha ha ha.”
A few tens of minutes later, the filming location of ‘The Island of the Missing’.
A dense forest in Danang, Vietnam. Frequent birdsong, bugs flying all over the place, tall trees, unknown grasses, and a muddy floor.
Kang Woo-jin has just arrived at such a filming location.
The current time is 10:00 in the morning. Woojin arrived at the scene as the first among actors. Of course, hundreds of staff members were frantically running around in line with the 11 o’clock standby. In the meantime, I saw the warm-hearted director Kwon Ki-taek.
“The rails are crooked there!! Wake!”
“sorry!”
“Director! Director!! Please check the floor here!!”
“Okay, go now.”
“Oh, how filthy hot! We are going to test drones!!”
“okay!”
“Standby one hour left! I will hurry!!”
Since they were at war, Woo-jin decided to say hello later. He had already notified several staff at the entrance of his arrival, and it was a frequent occurrence. Soon, his team, including Kang Woo-jin, was scattered. Choi Seong-geon is among the staff, and stylists such as Han Jeong-jeong are in the art team. The only thing left by Woojin was Jang Soo-hwan. Even that.
“older brother! The costumes are ready, so I’ll go and call the makeup team!”
“please.”
Showing off his big size, he ran somewhere.
‘Ha- It’s really hot like a dog.’
Then, Woojin, who had been singing inwardly, moved his feet while wiping his sweat. Among the large tents, it was inside the tent where the actors were waiting.
‘I’ll live a bit.’
Fortunately, it was cool inside the tent thanks to the cooling fan in operation. After a while, Woojin, dressed in a military uniform, sat down on a chair in the tent.
-Attic.
It’s a normal military uniform now, but after makeup, it was going to be a mop with blood and dirty water. Whatever it was, Kang Woo-jin put the thick ‘disappearing island’ scenario on his desk.
‘A break before starting is essential, hm.’
It was at this time.
– Seruk.
Suddenly, the tent tent opened and a familiar face of an old man came in.
“hmm? Are you alone?”
It was director An Ga-bok, wearing a safari hat and shorts. At his sudden appearance, Kang Woo-jin hesitated and shouted inwardly.
‘What, what! This young creature grandfather was like that at the restaurant last time! Why don’t you have a blinker?!’
Outwardly, wearing a cold mask, he calmly stood up and bowed his head.
“Hello, Director.”
“Yes, nice to see you again.”
As he put on a wrinkled smile, several more men entered behind director An Ga-bok. About 4 people. film directors and staff. Of course, all of them and Kang Woo-jin exchanged proper greetings. In the meantime, Woojin.
‘Ah- Mr. I don’t know, it’s dangerous. Let’s bounce.’
I solemnly made up words that I didn’t have to avoid Youngmul Ahn Ga-bok.
“Take a rest, I will tell director Kwon Ki-taek. I have to wear makeup soon.”
However.
“you.”
Kang Woo-jin, who was moving, was stopped by director Ahn Ga-bok in a calm manner. The old man’s smile was on his lips.
“Are you interested in the ‘Cannes Film Festival’?”
Given the timing of the question, this unconditionally smelled like an opportunity. But for some reason, Kang Woo-jin’s face became more indifferent and stiff, and the answer was dry and quick.
“No, I am not particularly interested.”
In an instant, Youngmul An Ga-bok’s eyebrows twitched.
End
