I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 164
Only Krnovel
Woojin Kang and bw Enter’s contract is for one year? The high-chinned editor-in-chief deepened the furrow between his eyebrows and spoke again to the female reporter with a serious expression right in front of him. Tone is slightly higher.
“So what bullshit is that? 1 year contract? Whose nose do you put that on? Hey, don’t you know who Choi Seong-gun is? player, player. Would you have signed a contract with a diamond like Kang Woo-jin for only one year just because that flat foot was spinning? No, there is no such thing as a one-year contract in the first place.”
None of them were wrong, but the female reporter was not discouraged.
“I got the information.”
“·······”
The editor, who was slowly scratching his chin, shut his mouth. Then, he slowly checked the momentum of the female reporter. A few seconds. he opened his mouth again.
“That information, how certain is it?”
“well. Han- Around 80%?”
“80?”
“yes.”
looks confident At this point, it was hard for the editor-in-chief to just ignore it.
“Huh… This is fresh news again. What kind of crazy entertainer these days contracts a rookie for one year?”
“I mean! It’s even more absurd that it’s Kang Woo-jin. He only has a few issues right now. There were also works that were successful at the box office.”
Is it true? No matter how much I thought about it, the editor-in-chief was difficult to understand.
‘Well, yes. Let’s take a hundred steps and call it a year. But as soon as they debuted, they exploded with mise-en-scène or hanryang, right? If you’re not an idiot, shouldn’t you have increased the contract right away?’
Even Kang Woo-jin was currently shaking up the Japanese entertainment industry beyond Korea. She’s only a year old. But that Seong-gun Choi just left it alone? is she dead?
“······hmm. I don’t know, but maybe something happened between them. Or a deal.”
“Anyway, if bw Enter misses Kang Woo-jin, they will be treated as idiots in the real industry.”
“I guess so.”
“Well, we don’t really care about that. Anyway, editor, how does this smell? Is it true?”
A female reporter with a small smile. The editor-in-chief also slowly smiles.
“Tell me what are you doing? Kang Woo-jin is almost monopolizing the market right now, but when this explodes, the entertainment industry goes wild. I’m going to pack my money and run. Public interest will also rise. First of all, the story is fun.”
“I can pull the hook properly after a long time, and there are also cases where the end of the year is right around the corner.”
“so. Are you going to shoot right away?”
“What do you do when you waste time? It’s just going to grind.”
The editor-in-chief, who would normally have agreed, was a bit more cautious this time around.
“Hmm- no, that information you got. Check again. Then confirm with me again.”
A female reporter with a frown.
“…Editor-in-chief. Are you dropping this right now?”
“uh.”
“no! Why are you wasting time on this?? meaningless?”
“You beat that up, but if you fight back unfounded, are you going to take responsibility for everything?”
“What’s there to counterattack?”
The editor-in-chief let out a small sigh.
“Open your ears and listen carefully. Touching Kang Woo-jin now requires your own determination. It’s not like I’m going to end up hitting him.”
“yes??”
“List the giants around Kang Woo-jin.”
“ah.”
“Drama version, movie version, entertainment version, star writers, even the Japanese side. You even know that the main investor of the ‘strange parasite’ is the Japanese conglomerate, the ‘Kashihi Group’, right?”
“·······”
“They are super giants that ordinary rookies can’t even dream of, but no matter what, there are a lot of them around Kang Woo-jin now. In other words, you have to be prepared to touch all of those big names.”
“But that’s not the case.”
“What’s good about making boils?”
The female reporter grasped the editor-in-chief’s feelings. Then the editor-in-chief stood up from his seat. The bulging belly is impressive.
“If what you said is 100% true, no problem. However, it is an accident if it turns out to be a rumor or a rumor. But it’s a good subject to throw away.”
He murmured, standing right in front of the female reporter and speaking lowly.
“So check again, then it won’t be late even if you flip the enter.”
Around noon on the same day, at the ‘Maxnald’ commercial shooting site.
Kang Woo-jin was still struggling with the hamburger. The shooting that started in the morning has continued until now. Judging by the filming continuity, it was the size that would be completed only in the afternoon.
“Mr. Woojin! Can you eat a hamburger and save the feeling of lightning in your eyes??”
“Lightning. Yes, I will.”
“okay! I will go again with the feeling!”
In the meantime, Choi Seong-gun, who has a very serious expression, stands out among Woojin’s dozens of teams. He is staring at Kang Woo-jin with his arms crossed. Choi Seong-gun, who had tied his ponytail tightly again, spat to himself in a low voice.
“Scaffolding? Is that director An Ga-bok?”
Choi Seong-gun, who was deep in thought, was currently full of director Ahn Ga-bok. It was because I kept thinking about the conversation I had with director An Ga-bok around the morning a few hours ago. It was definitely not a light topic.
Choi Seong-gun followed.
“hmm-”
I recalled an important part from the phone call with director Ahn Ga-bok. It starts with director Ahn Ga-bok’s old voice beyond the cell phone.
“I think Choi Dae-pyo must have noticed it already. My 100th film needs actor Kang Woo-jin. As you may have heard from the rumors, this film intends to challenge the Cannes Film Festival.”
Seong-Geon Choi had already completed the investigation, but he hadn’t acted openly. He just pretended to be a little surprised.
“Ah- is that so? Originally, I was going to meet you after the overseas shooting was over, so I’ll make time after passing it on to Woojin. By the way, director. Can I ask you something?”
“hmm?”
“I wonder why you became interested in Woojin.”
“sign language.”
“You mean sign language?”
“is it so. The beginning was sign language. It was a necessary skill for directing a movie, and I wanted actors to have it if possible rather than educating them. Around that time, Kang Woo-jin caught my eye.”
“···understand.”
“But, right now, I am more interested in his acting part and the person himself.”
human itself? As Choi Seong-gun tilted his head, director Ahn Ga-bok continued.
“But when I brought up Cannes to Woojin-goon in Da Nang, he said he wasn’t particularly interested. His eyes were sincere. I really don’t have a big idea in Cannes.”
“·······”
“Did Choi Dae-pyo know?”
It was Choi Seong-gun who overheard rather than knew. However, I had to pretend I didn’t know.
“No, he is a very unpredictable friend.”
“hmm. If so, I don’t think he knew at all that what Woojin-gun was greedy for was the ‘Oscar Awards’, not Cannes.”
what? Oscar?
“yes? No… what is that?”
Beyond the cell phone, a super-giant spirit creature, an elderly host, disregards the astute misunderstanding.
“Oscars. In other words, he is aiming for the Academy Awards ceremony, Woojin. I felt it desperately from the words he said and the meaning of his eyes.”
Choi Seong-gun was taken aback. Academy Awards? An Academy Award? Of course, it’s a huge world to bump into someday, but already? A place where even a top actor should challenge for more than 10 years. Even so, there were a lot of people who were eliminated. But for Kang Woo-jin, it’s only been a year. It didn’t make sense.
Here, Seong-Geon Choi recalled Woo-Jin Kang’s tendencies and his footsteps. along with abilities.
Then I couldn’t help but agree.
‘······No. Native-level English that I had from the start. and many languages. Just as ‘Unfamiliar Parasitic’ kept its position when it was in crisis, the desire to advance overseas, including Japan. The moguls who come around.’
Looking at it, directors Kwon Ki-taek and Kyotaro were all well-known overseas.
Ultimately.
‘There is a special clause not to touch the selected works.’
Combining everything gave me the answer. In fact, it was a picture of Kang Woo-jin silently walking towards the end of the king incense. The final king was the ‘Academy Award’. Yes, it was. Seong-geon Choi’s conviction gradually becomes clearer.
‘Did everything move under a clear plan from the beginning until now? To go to the Academy Awards in the shortest distance??’
I was thoroughly infected with the illusion that the elderly host preached. The main character, Kang Woo-jin, only ate hamburgers, but only Choi Seong-gun and director Ahn Ga-bok were serious. Among them, director Ahn Ga-bok spoke again over the phone.
“The distribution that Woojin-gun has doesn’t come out of bluff. What comes from posture. I’m seriously running. However, even Choi Dae-pyo would know. To go to the Academy Awards, you need a lot of conditions.”
“······The scaffolding you were talking about.”
“that’s right. Of course, the things Woojin-gun possesses are enough to stir up Hollywood. But the process to show it is arduous. They still don’t know Woojin at all. There are actors all over the world who dedicate their lives to winning that ticket.”
“Yes, it is.”
“But Woojin-kun’s interest is probably more than attending the Academy Awards ceremony. The ability to catch flashes. To do that.”
“I know. You have to have a convincing filmography and achievements that will nod your head, on your resume.”
“That is the basis. That’s how the Academy Awards system came to be.”
Director Ahn Ga-bok, who had been laughing lightly, added some strength to his old voice.
“It means that there is nothing like Khan as a foothold. It gives public confidence to everyone involved in the Academy Awards.”
So far. Choi Seong-gun, who recalled the phone call with director Ahn Ga-bok, returned to reality. His gaze reaches Woojin Kang in the shooting zone. Soon, Seong-Geon Choi, whose astute illusions were fused, muttered inwardly.
‘Current actor Kang Woo-jin’s only shortcoming and lack of career is his career. Her filmography is still empty. The Academy Award system is complex. She’s full of many interests and any connections that are hard to overcome.’
What Choi Seong-gun said was the basic of the basics. If you dig deeper into the Academy Awards, there are a lot of tangled checks and systems. How much is it? One of those numerous things is the footsteps or name values that actors have walked.
A resume boasts a power that can never be ignored anywhere.
It was the same with the Academy Awards, and it is difficult for the current Kang Woo-jin. It’s not something that can be pierced with effort or passion. It was just practically impossible.
but.
‘If a rookie with a first year of debut overturns the Cannes.’
There is a possibility that it will be like a thread. Because you will be curious. So far, there has been no history of a one-year-old rookie chewing up the Cannes Film Festival. That’s the key to hitting the counter.
Then.
“haha.”
Choi Seong-gun, who was deep in thought, laughed.
“It’s crazy, I’m thinking of the Cannes Film Festival as a stepping stone too, right?”
In the first place, it was unheard of for a rookie to advance to Cannes. both in the past and in the future. Of course, until Kang Woo-jin appeared. Anyway, the Cannes Film Festival has become a side bridge.
At this time.
– Suck.
Perhaps it was time for a break, Woojin returned to his seat with an indifferent face.
‘what? You seem to be in a very high mood??’
I even asked
“CEO, are you doing well?”
Choi Seong-gun’s smile grew thicker at the calm question.
“What is it similar to? I imagined something good.”
promised inwardly. I will watch the impossible right next to me.
‘Let’s write a bit of history. Before that, settle the contract first.’
I never dreamed that the basis was a shrewd illusion.
The next day, the 10th. Lee Wol-seon’s studio.
In a quiet room, artist Lee Wol-sun is staring at her laptop. Unlike usual, she looks natural. After looking at the laptop screen for a few minutes, she let out a small sigh.
“it’s okay.”
Writer Lee Wol-seon picked up his cell phone and called the producer of ‘Frozen Love’. It’s probably during filming, but the directing PD received it quickly.
“Yes, sir.”
Author Lee Wol-seon made a simple declaration.
“I just finished the last episode script.”
It is said that the manuscript work for ‘Love to Freeze to Death’, which is about to premiere, has been completed. At this, the director’s voice over the cell phone rose.
“Hey! Thank you for your hard work, author! That- I don’t think it’s possible today! tomorrow! I will go tomorrow morning!”
“is it so. But there are two versions of the last episode.”
“yes? Two versions?”
“yes. The ‘strange guy next door’ that PD-nim talked about the other day kept bothering me.”
“hmm? Did you finish well? He also inserted flashback cuts and mentions that he had moved.”
“But the character is a bit disappointing. There are also things that Woojin saved and the quality has improved.”
“It is. What are the two versions?”
“In the last episode, there is one cut in which the main characters ‘Song Tae-hyung’ and ‘The Strange Man Next Door’ meet again, and one is not.”
“iced coffee.”
Writer Lee Wol-seon, slowly crossing her legs, continued her explanation.
“As you can see from the script, ‘The Strange Man Next Door’ meets Song Tae-hyung by chance. The ‘strange man next door’ avoids his eyes. However, Song Tae-hyung, who has completely changed, greets me in sign language, and the surprised ‘strange man next door’ also smiles and responds in sign language.”
“Ohh! The contrast between the first episode and the last episode will definitely be heartwarming, right?”
“But if Woo-jin doesn’t do it, I won’t be able to use it.”
“······yes. Even so, when you see Woojin appearing in the media, you look very busy.”
“Since the filming can be completed in half a day, would you like to make a request to Woojin-ssi, PD-nim?”
“Okay, writer.”
What is unusual is that the reply to the contact sent by the director PD was very fast. Of course, the opponent was Choi Seong-gun.
-[Yes, PD. Woojin wants to do it too, and I’ll make time if you let me know at least a week in advance.]
And at the same time, the ‘Frozen Love’ side released the official trailer to the world. on multiple video platforms other than YouTube.
-‘Frozen Love’｜Official 1st Trailer｜KBC
It was a 15-second and 30-second teaser and the first official trailer. It was a natural procedure since the first episode was only about 2 weeks away. Of course, both videos contain a short but intense image of the ‘strange man next door’. The same goes for sign language. Kang Woo-jin’s presence was strangely intense.
Of course, the public’s reaction was quick.
-Kang Woo-jin-nim’s eyes and breathing in the drug dealer ate all the smoke…. It was so sexy… It was scary like a crazy psychopath… But sign language acting is new again??
-How long does Kang Woo-jin come out of this??
-Kang Woo-jin likes colorful masks! It was sweet, then it was soft, but this feels soft again
-Ahhhhh I think something is no fun…
-Written by Lee Wol-seonkkkkkkkk Can you really beat Park Eun-mi?
-Kang Woo-jin hahahahahahaha been a lover, then a drug addict, but this time, it’s just like a different person hahahaha
-Jeonghwan Jung is a drama again ㅋㅋ He doesn’t shoot movies??
-Hulrrrrrr Kang Woo-jin, even though he only appears for a short time, I get tired of it… His facial expressions, muscles, and every gesture are really great…. Just watching the trailer is hilarious….
Kang Woo-jin’s acting spectrum was expanding endlessly.
Meanwhile, at the same time. Cheongdam-dong shop.
Kang Woo-jin’s van in the parking lot of a large shop. Soon after, Woojin in full makeup came out of the shop and climbed into the van. In the car, only Choi Seong-gun was seen in the passenger seat. Han Ye-jeong and Jang Soo-hwan were in the bathroom, and the rest of the team was at work.
Today, Woojin’s schedule had two interviews in the morning, and he had to return to filming ‘The Island of Disappearance’ from noon to night.
Whatever it is.
-Sue.
Choi Seong-gun, sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly presented a transparent file to Kang Woo-jin.
“Those are year-end related materials. With awards ceremonies that have been requested to be invited so far. By the way, regardless of the type of year-end awards ceremony, attending is always beneficial, you know?”
The cold Kang Woo-jin silently opened the file and nodded.
“Yes, I know.”
Choi Seong-gun, who had been watching Woo-jin closely at the transparent file, changed the subject.
“And the Academy Awards are currently impossible.”
Kang Woo-jin, who slowly raised his head and met Choi Seong-gun’s eyes, was silent for a moment.
“·······”
There is no shaking in the poker face. But it also seems to be mixed with a strange agitation. No, should I say question mark? Several tens of seconds passed like that. Kang Woo-jin answered in a calm voice.
“Of course, this year will be difficult.”
As soon as he heard the answer, Choi Seong-gun laughed.
“Ha-I did it just in case, but it was as expected. The Academy Awards…. Common sense is destroyed.”
It’s a bonus that you mumble as if you’re tired.
“Were you only aiming for the Academy Awards from the start? Are you sad? That crazy plan, if you gave me a word, you would have prepared it in your heart. You will get heart disease.”
Kang Woo-jin’s nonchalant face was harder than ever.
‘······?’
