I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 165
Only Krnovel
what are you talking about It was Kang Woo-jin’s honest feelings. No, why are the Academy Awards appearing out of nowhere? It was clear that this would be similar even if it was not Kang Woo-jin. Because there was no explanation before and after.
‘Is the Academy Award impossible now? No, it’s not the present, isn’t it still impossible?’
Of course, Kang Woo-jin also had a fair amount of knowledge about the Oscars or Academy Awards. petit bourgeois. No, it’s similar even now, but I’ve seen it in past articles anyway.
Of course, all related to Korea.
Korean Hollywood actors won an Academy Award, or Korean films performed well at Cannes and were nominated for an Academy Award after being released overseas. Woojin’s memory was not wrong. In fact, there have been films invited to the Academy Awards in the history of Korean cinema.
only two works.
One in 2010 and one in 2015. What both films have in common is that they have been recognized at the world’s top three international film festivals, Cannes and Venice Film Festivals. Back then, it was nominated for the Academy Awards as a preliminary candidate, but unfortunately it was eliminated from the official nomination.
Whatever it was, even the preliminary candidate was the first in Korea.
And despite the efforts of many Korean directors, that record has not yet been broken. One thing is certain for Kang Woo-jin here.
‘Aren’t the Academy Awards just a place where every individual is amazing? Doesn’t it cost money to imagine that much? It’s like a last resort.’
The Academy Awards are truly an awards ceremony that exists in another world. That’s why even though Woojin became an actor, he never thought about it. Well, it will be like that in the future. Because it was too far away
So, what Choi Seong-gun said.
‘And the Academy Awards are currently impossible.’
It was absurd, yet natural. Thanks to that, even though it is a little absurd, Woojin made the concept quality thicker. I can’t look weak, so I add appropriate bravado. Yes, it’s a set answer, but pretending to be tough isn’t a bad thing.
“Of course, this year will be difficult.”
Choi Seong-gun’s answers were enough to confuse Woo-jin.
“Were you only aiming for the Academy Awards from the beginning? 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.”
no what the hell are you talking about For the first time in a while, extreme embarrassment enveloped Woojin’s body. When did you say I was aiming for an Academy Award? You don’t understand?
This feeling was similar to when a snowball of illusion rolls.
‘Where are you? Where the hell did this illusion come from again?’
Unlike usual, the illusion now was so huge. But there is no section that comes to mind. In the first place, the words ‘Academy Award’ or ‘Oscar Award’ never came out of Woojin’s mouth.
At this time, Choi Seong-gun let out a long breath and continued.
“Hu-Director Ahn Ga-bok······ Insight is scary. Seeing you, even if it takes a few days to understand your heart.”
who? That spiritual grandfather? Why is that man here? Woojin, filled with question marks, asked lowly.
“I didn’t tell him.”
“Yes, but I must have said it in a way that reflected your personality. I’m sorry for nothing I should have noticed it earlier, but I guess I’m still a long way off.”
At this point, Woojin realized. I don’t know how it rolled, but the cause of the illusion was the grandfather of the spirit creature. He was also vague about asking the process. Even Choi Seong-geon feels certain of something with Woo-jin’s answers just now.
‘Oh, I don’t know. Pretending to be tough would be more suitable for the concept here rather than stepping out. Let’s just pretend it’s okay, because it’s going to be an Academy Award anyway.’
No, what if the destination is terribly big? It’s an illusion anyway. Woojin, as always, chose to go straight without backing up, and resolutely accepted the meaningless misunderstanding and misunderstanding. Fixing it is meaningless and annoying.
“It’s okay, it was my own thought.”
Choi Seong-gun, who was watching Woo-jin answer calmly, scratched his tail.
“For now, let only you and I know about this. Director Ang Ga-bok wouldn’t even say anything, he wouldn’t have risen to that position if he had been soft-spoken.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Anyway, whoa- you would know very well if it was planned from the beginning, but the Academy Awards are difficult for you now. There, the weight class is different from advancing to Japan. No, you can call it another planet.”
“···I know.”
“Yeah, well, since you’re also a player, there won’t be a need to explain anything about the Academy Awards.”
No, I desperately need it. Choi Sung-gun had no way to know Woo-jin’s sincerity.
“You must be thinking about designing your resume, but to be honest, there’s nothing like a box to be eaten by Hollywood in a short period of time. The other way is to go to Hollywood to audition, but it is narrower than the eye of a needle. Even if you look at the top-notch Ha Yu-ra and come back to Korea after going round and round, the answer comes out.”
“·······”
“It is also a problem to rise from the bottom. It will take at least 3 years. On the other hand, using Khan as a stepping stone opens up a shortcut. Of course, having to achieve something in Cannes is also damn hard.”
Woojin, who listened silently, stored the information he heard for the first time in his head. So, instead of a pheasant, it looks like a chicken first, right? The system was barely understood. In the meantime, Choi Seong-gun asked Woo-jin.
“Do you have a different route in mind? Or that you have connections in Hollywood…”
There was no horn. Even in America, all I saw on TV was what could there be in Hollywood? However, he couldn’t say it as it was, so Woo-jin spoke in an indirect way.
“Please speak comfortably.”
“Um- First of all, director An Ga-bok took the step himself. It’s a picture hanging on you. I called yesterday and asked for a meeting. They said they would meet in person and hand over the scenario.”
“Is that so?”
“okay. To be honest, this is the first time director An Ga-bok has moved like this. I really need you, I talked about sign language, but it seems that sign language cuts will be inserted into this work.”
sign language? As Woo-jin tilted his head inwardly, Choi Seong-geon continued.
“Of course, if you don’t like director An Ga-bok, you can rub it in moderation and then peel it off. No matter what anyone says, I’m on your side But if you do it too openly, you’ll have to strategize. However, the divisions of film companies and others that go with director Ahn Ga-bok are also experts in overseas. In terms of experience and performance, domestic flights are the best.”
“okay.”
“Why don’t we meet once and look at the scenario? In order to suit the tone of the footsteps that director Ahn Ga-bok said of himself.”
Well, it wasn’t difficult to set it up. It is true that director An Ga-bok is reluctant, but looking at the situation, it seems that simply ignoring him is not the answer.
‘Isn’t it enough if I beat that young creature grandfather? Also to practice the concept.’
It was certain that Kang Woo-jin’s core would be protected like a fortress if he stepped on the highest level veteran.
‘I’m also curious about the scenario, how can the ratings for something written by a Korean film legend come out?’
Then Woojin nodded slowly and replied resolutely.
“Okay, please make an appointment.”
Choi Seong-gun raised his thumb and opened the diary.
“okay.”
Woojin quietly took out his cell phone and secretly searched for the Academy Awards. A lot of information pouring in. Among them, Woojin, who was reading the history page about the Academy Awards, exclaimed furiously.
‘crazy! Is this really possible??’
Because it seemed impossible to see.
Same time, Tokyo, Japan.
The place is a huge hotel. Even now, a group of 10 people is gathered in a hall of a hotel where a large number of people can be seen. The old man in the lead was a familiar face.
It was President Hideki, who wore a neat suit and had white hair mixed with his eyebrows.
“hmm-”
Standing next to him was Lili, the chief of staff, with her long hair tied in a ponytail and a clean look. In the back, the secretary’s office and several staff were together. It was natural. Because this hotel belonged to Kashihi Group.
In other words, owned by Chairman Hideki.
Then, Chairman Hideki, reminiscent of an old lion, slowly looks around the inside of the spacious hall. Both of his hands are tucked into his pockets, but his eyes are very focused. The hall he sees now was originally a place with a similar character to a softening room.
It has changed a lot.
Rather than a party hall, it was a bit stiff. Would you say it’s official? A square-shaped desk in the center, hundreds of chairs surrounding the desk, and so on. Of course, all the chairs in this hall looked overpriced. Chairman Hideki, who had been quietly looking around the hall, moved slowly.
-Sue.
He silently touches the square-shaped desk in front of him with his finger. Check the cleaning status. Still, he gave out a hoarse voice.
“Is there anything else you need?”
The one who responded immediately to the spit out Japanese was Lili, the chief of staff. She approached again and again and answered President Hideki.
“Yes, Chairman. It was prepared after talking with the ‘Toega’ film company in advance.”
“There is not much to prepare for a script reading. Make sure you don’t run out of seats, and don’t rush to prepare for the day.”
“All right.”
Immediately, Chairman Hideki took out a chair from the desk and sat down. At a cursory glance, it looks like he just sat down, but he was actually testing the convenience of the prepared chair. President Hideki, who was slowly crossing his legs, asked if it was bad.
“The number of people. How many people are coming to the reading?”
Lily, who bowed slightly, responded quickly.
“About 200 people, including the original author Akari Takikawa, director Kyotaro Tanoguchi, and the production crew of ‘Familiar Parasite’, as well as the actors and staff of the actors, filmmakers, and reporters, will attend.”
“It’s coming quite a bit.”
“Anyway, the scale of the movie ‘Unfamiliar Parasitic’ itself is on the large side.”
Chairman Hideki nodded slowly, looked around the hall again, and smiled.
“The press will be excited again if we have a reading at this hotel.”
“yes. Firewood will be added again to our relationship with the ‘parasitic’.”
“hmm-”
Chairman Hideki, who had been spitting, got up from his chair and walked slowly through the hall, followed by Lili, the chief of staff. In a state where a moderately fifteen employees had become distant, Chairman Hideki’s wrinkled mouth opened again.
“How is Kang Woo-jin these days?”
“After the rise of ‘Boyfriend’, a movie called ‘Drug Dealer’, in which he starred, is said to be a big box office hit in Korea.”
“Oh- yeah? It seems that you have been growing steadily since you returned to Korea.”
“In addition, the Nutube channel and social media have become very large, unlike in the past. In Korea, it is an atmosphere that is called something that cannot happen within a year.”
After finishing the report, Lili held out the transparent file that was tucked under her side to President Hideki. Of course, it was a survey related to Kang Woo-jin.
– Palak.
Chairman Hideki, who had been silently checking the contents, uttered a low voice.
“Director Kyotaro Tanoguchi said that. I was blessed by Kang Woo-jin.”
“yes?”
“I am similar. A rare actor, how can he spread so much grace in such a short moment in a foreign country that is not his own country?”
Lili, who had been unstoppable until now, stopped. Because I didn’t understand what was going on. At that time, Chairman Hideki covered the transparent file and spoke to himself.
“I can’t wait to see you in person.”
Chairman Hideki’s dark eyes, which raised his head, met Lili.
“Didn’t this ‘unfamiliar’ case have the same effect as branded content?”
“It is currently in progress.”
“If you have this level of recognition in Korea and Japan, it seems you have your own justification.
Of course, it was Kang Woo-jin’s story.
Meanwhile, ‘Toega’ film company in Tokyo.
At ‘Toega,’ the film company behind ‘Familiar Parasite’, a production meeting led by director Kyotaro was in full swing. The people sitting around director Kyotaro at the top of the U-shaped desk.
The atmosphere seemed to have come to an end as it had already progressed quite a bit.
“Yeah- I can’t believe I’m going to have a script reading in that top-notch hotel.”
“That’s right, I thought it would be done by our film company unconditionally. Isn’t that a place where real conglomerates hold parties?”
“Not only that, but there are also big business events pouring money into it. Our movie is the first script reading. No, this will probably never happen again.”
“If this spreads to the media, it will bubble up again.”
“Of course, it’s a noisy situation already with our movie and the Kashihi group. But I wonder if the script reading can be this luxurious.”
“Hahaha, how are you? It’s an issue and it’s good. Shave the actors. But on the day of the script reading, will President Hideki Yoshimura come?”
“No way- that would be difficult.”
“That’s right, why don’t you come?”
Around this time, director Kyotaro, full of gray hair, got the subject right.
“Come on, leave your admiration for later. Let’s quickly inform the actors of the decisions made today. In particular, the place and date of the script reading.”
“What would I do if someone told me that it would be difficult on November 16th?”
“A day or two may fluctuate, but it will be fine.”
“Okay, the script reading has been confirmed on the 16th and I will contact the actors right away.”
Director Kyotaro nodded and pointed at one of the actors for emphasis.
“Tell Woojin Kang first, because he is the farthest away.”
The script reading for ‘Unfamiliar’ was next Monday.
The next morning on the 11th, bw enter.
The time is around 8 o’clock. It wasn’t rush hour yet, so the bw enter was quiet. that there are no employees present. However, the desk without staff reminded me of a battlefield. It feels like the scene after a typhoon has swept through.
For some reason, I heard a chuckle at such bw enter.
The reason was simple.
“I’m sorry about this morning.”
“No, Director.”
It was because Kang Woo-jin and director Ahn Ga-bok with short white hair were sitting face-to-face at the table in the representative office. Of course, the CEO of the film company and Choi Seong-gun were also present.
A total of 4 heads.
It was a simple place, but the wad of paper that director Ahn Ga-bok held out had a huge meaning.
“In Da Nang, there was too much back and forth. First, let’s take a look at this before going into details.”
-Sue.
It was the scenario that would become the 100th film of director An Ga-bok. Soon, Choi Seong-gun, whose eyes moved along the wad of paper passing to Woo-jin, swallowed his saliva.
‘That will be the foothold.’
On the other hand.
“Yes, Director. thank you.”
Upon receiving the scenario, Woojin’s face was cold to the world. She was Kang Woo-jin, who was also calm in reality.
‘My grandfather has a cool personality. Skip the scenario right away.’
To Kang Woo-jin from Da Nang, director An Ga-bok was not a veteran superstar, but just a grandfather next door. But now it’s sprinkled with spirits.
Well, it was the power of mind control.
Anyway, Kang Woo-jin checked the cover of the scenario with an indifferent face. Because it was a first draft, only the title was written on it.
-‘leech’
The title of director Ahn Ga-bok’s 100th film was ‘Leech’. However, Kang Woo-jin saw something other than the title. what would it be A whirlwind black rectangle next to the scenario.
Director Ahn Ga-bok, who had no way of knowing this, opened his mouth.
“It’s okay to take a look.”
Woojin, who had already turned the first page, secretly raised his index finger. It was entering a subspace.
after a while like that
It was tens of seconds for director Ahn Ga-bok looking at Woo-jin on the other side, but for Kang Woo-jin, there was a time gap of at least 10 minutes. Soon, as Woojin’s face became more serious, Director Ahn Ga-bok tilted his head slightly.
“why. Is there anything you don’t like?”
“·······”
Kang Woo-jin, who had been silent, let out a long sigh.
‘No, more than that – Ha… is it true that you’re S-class from the start??’
this moment.
– Woo woo woo, woo woo woo.
Choi Seong-geon’s cell phone, sitting next to Kang Woo-jin, emitted a long vibration, and he flinched and stood up with a small head bow. After leaving the representative’s office, he identified the caller.
The opponent was the head of the PR team.
“Uh, boss.”
The voice of the team leader over the cell phone was in a state of intense excitement.
“Wait, CEO!! article! You should read the article that just popped up!!”
Then he sent a link to Choi Seong-gun’s chat. The title of the article you see right away.
『[Exclusive] ‘Monster Rookie’ Kang Woo-jin, turns out to have signed a 1-year contract with bw Enter… Will the FA market come out early next year?”
After checking the article, Choi Seong-gun’s ponytail’s eyes widened.
“This is crazy!!”
However, at this time, Choi Seong-geon is not the only one whose eyes are about to spill over the same article.
“Wait, CEO!! Did you read the article about Kang Woo-jin’s 1-year contract?!”
“what?? 1 year contract? What kind of dog shit is that?”
“An article has appeared!! But the content is not like chirashi!! Kang Woo-jin, it might be possible to recruit early next year!”
“Does that make sense… wait!! I’ll check the article and call you right away!!”
Numerous domestic entertainers started to fluctuate.
