I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 173
Only Krnovel
It was the first time in Chairman Hideki’s life to attend a script reading.
Of course, the purpose was to see Kang Woo-jin. A Korean actor who brought his grandchildren back to life and made them dream again. he was blessed He must have had a hard life too.
I wanted to see it with my own two eyes. It was Chairman Hideki’s heart.
Kang Woo-jin, who has a sense of kinship and looks back on himself in the past. Chairman Hideki’s impression when he first saw Woo-jin in this hall was that of a beast with hidden teeth. Although she is outwardly secluded, she has a strange sense of composure and charisma. His eyes were full of power and his voice mixed with pulpit.
Indeed, Kang Woo-jin was unusual.
Since he was chairman Hideki, the head of a conglomerate, he immediately recognized Kang Woo-jin, who exudes unusual energy. An aura that is hard to find at that age. That means Kang Woo-jin’s concept quality is great.
anyway.
‘…that’s something.’
The moment the script reading started and he saw Woojin start acting, President Hideki had his arms folded and his eyebrows covered with white hair couldn’t help but wriggle.
‘performance? Is that what you call acting?’
Kang Woo-jin’s change was obvious even to Chairman Hideki, who had never paid attention to acting in his life and had no interest in anything other than business.
‘All the things that were full are missing.’
The aura that surrounded him disappeared. Kang Woo-jin, who now shows Kiyoshi, was broke. It’s empty. Eyes, voice, movement, thoughts. How can you empty something that was full just a moment ago? Chairman Hideki gradually focused on Kang Woo-jin’s acting. He couldn’t take his eyes off him.
Are all actors like that?
However, the more the reading is repeated, the more Kang Woo-jin’s acting builds up the narrative.
“I don’t regret meeting you.”
“It’s time for lunch.”
Chairman Hideki noticed more clearly. that you are special. Around Woojin, who is acting, there are many actors who are said to be the best in Japan. However, it was hard to see him as Kang Woo-jin.
‘Other actors definitely have a smell of mimicry. However, Kang Woo-jin has no gap to show.’
Only Woojin was unusual. Other actors were acting, but Kang Woo-jin was showing another life here. At least in the eyes of Chairman Hideki, she looked like that.
he asked himself again.
is that smoke?
no. That wasn’t smoke. people have changed Chairman Hideki saw the spark in Kang Woo-jin’s eyes. However, Kang Woo-jin now. No, Kiyoshi was water. colorless and odorless. A being that does not feel any emotions or sensations.
‘It’s just flowing.’
In an instant, President Hideki vaguely recalled the past from Kang Woo-jin’s appearance. Not your own, but your grandchildren’s. The appearance of the grandson who had lost vitality and life and was only breathing, whose eyes had died. Yeah, it was similar to that.
Soon, Chairman Hideki.
-Sue.
I managed to move my gaze that was attached to Woojin. Hundreds of people around him, dozens of actors, even director Kyotaro and writer Akari. Everyone was looking at Woojin. His presence was exceptional. There is an overwhelm that catches his eye.
The art of controlling a situation by bewitching people. more than attractive.
It belongs to a very valuable ability.
At this time.
“Not now.”
Kang Woo-jin started a monologue. After Tohka disappears from the world, she becomes a ‘stranger’ herself and makes a ‘bizarre sacrifice’, making a list.
“It must be forgotten.”
Kang Woo-jin and Kiyoshi took their eyes off Toka at the end. because it’s gone And his gaze drifted somewhere in the unspecified space. There is nothing on the face. But the mouth does not rest. The rhythm of speech is constant. He seemed to be floating still on the surface of the water without even a slight movement.
Following.
“homework.”
Devastated Kiyoshi’s pupils move in the air in search of their destination. Some of the actors in the front drift for a while. 9 people. It was to confirm the list of nine specified people. The actors who now met Kiyoshi’s eyes could feel it.
‘I can’t see reason or instinct.’
That’s why it’s more terrifying. vaguely afraid There is no reason or effect. Pleasure? Pleasure? Intent? Hatred? wide? Not all. There is no action mixed with emotion. system. Yes, it is a system. He only has work to do.
Director Kyotaro, who fixed his eyes on Kang Woo-jin, recited a fingerprint.
“Kiyoshi, sitting in a seat in a busy classroom, looking at the blackboard in front of you. It is still a face with nothing.”
In the scenario, the world turned upside down after two students died at school, but that didn’t last long either. As living people have to live, schools struggled to normalize. Of course, the spirits of all students were not intact.
Only Kiyoshi’s time stopped.
Just like the moment Tohka sat across the railing and smiled.
However, there were changes in the school. Of the nine students on Kiyoshi’s list, some transferred schools and some dropped out. Some were still in school.
Kiyoshi didn’t mind.
what he has to do now
“study.”
It was to build knowledge. Because I had to watch the long game. There are 9 basic information. The accumulated data and student records. From here on, Kiyoshi had to fill in what was lacking.
Director Kyotaro spends time with fingerprints.
1 year, 2 years, 3 years. In the meantime, Kang Woo-jin’s attitude was not very different. He lives a normal life.
‘Just a little more, soon.’
He was forgotten by the world, but the plan had already been carried out. 4 years and 5 years back. From this point on, Woojin’s monologues increase more than director Kyotaro’s fingerprints. The scene shows the opponent, but underneath is Kiyoshi’s voice.
Everyone in the hall stares at the ‘stranger’.
Kang Woo-jin was rolling his eyes with an expressionless face. His posture is stiff. His gaze and breathing are steady, the trembling of his hands and heartbeat are calm. But it was clear what he would do. His appearance is reminiscent of calm madness. Woojin’s head was filled with calculations.
‘Let’s start, everyone and the world has forgotten me.’
An indistinct purpose wriggled. Then, the line was spit out from Kang Woo-jin’s flat mouth. It was a monologue.
“Five years. I spent five years filling in what was lacking. And now, following the first, I am about to begin the second sacrifice. one in nine. Kinzo Konakayama.”
A voice with a steady rhythm, neither hot nor cold. There is nothing contained in it that makes you wonder if this is a human voice. More than anyone else, the actors sitting around Woojin felt it most accurately.
‘Leaving aside the natural Japanese acting…how on earth do you do things like that?’
‘The first acting method I’ve ever seen. Like a person who lived without emotion from the beginning- But why do you hear it so well? Nothing is loaded, but the power is good.’
Among the actors, Woojin Kang, who takes on the role of ‘Kinzo Konakayama’, has perfect features and is a handsome actor. He takes a moment to catch his breath. She silently keeps her gaze. He tells everyone that they are watching him from afar. The monologue followed next.
“The reason I chose ‘Kinzo Konakayama’ for ‘Restart of Unforeseen Disaster’ was because of his elegant appearance. He is overly flashy and is a man who knows how to get people’s attention. Of course, out of those 9 people, I have the furthest point of contact. So I spotted him. The bizarre sacrifice of ‘Kinzo Konakayama’ will immediately catch your attention, but it will not have the same interest as mine.”
It was a pretty long line. However, Kang Woo-jin finished his monologue in a straight line without any distractions or splashes. Gradually, a dreamy atmosphere drifted around Kang Woo-jin. Akari, who was looking at Kang Woo-jin through the glasses on the tip of his nose, felt a thrill.
‘I’m seeing Kiyoshi with my own eyes when he wrote this book. I’m afraid but I’m greedy How far can he show Kiyoshi?’
At this time, Kang Woo-jin pretended to take something out of his pocket. He pulled out a list of nine people he had written down on Tohka’s desk five years ago.
“’Konakayama Kinzo’ is married. There is a home. But she still likes women. Human habits are terrifyingly meticulously structured. That’s why Ginjo left traces of habit. Prostitution, aid dating, adultery. He’s homely on the outside, but he’s rotting on the inside. He tells his family that it is a business trip and commits sexual crimes. He has a lot of teeth.”
Woojin, who was reciting endless plans, bent his head slightly. His empty expression remained the same, and his empty eyes cast a spell on the Japanese actor across from him.
“What kind of ‘bizarre sacrifice’ would you like? Ginzo, you must become a firecracker. That’s why I chose the gorgeous you. Because scattered fragments have to bounce on the other 8 people. I think it’s right to start with the conflict between you and your family. Your wife is not part of my business.”
Soon, a Japanese actor who was a bit dazed. No, Yasuta, who was in charge of ‘Konakayama Kinzo’, woke up in a flash. After Kang Woo-jin’s monologue, he had to say his lines as his daily cuts came out.
He spits out a set line like talking to himself. appearance in the company.
At this point, Chairman Hideki could feel serious.
‘It’s definitely different. Even to me who doesn’t know much about acting, the acting of the two actors is of a different level. That Yastar actor is doing standardized acting.’
The gap between Kang Woo-jin and top Japanese actors is quite severe. I wouldn’t know if there was no comparison target, but since Kiyoshi’s Woojin, who is the focal point, was there, it was clearly visible and audible. Now, Japanese actors are being pushed aside by Korean newcomers.
At the same time, Choi Seong-gun, who was sitting behind Kang Woo-jin, also noticed.
‘It smells like acting, and Japanese actors smell like I’m acting. Excessive emotion, exasperated dialogue, and strained gaze.’
Why did director Kyotaro cling to Kang Woo-jin, what are the problems with the Japanese actor version, and why he wants to break into the Japanese content market.
‘You wouldn’t have felt it when we were together, but if Woojin is running wild in front of you, you’ll know even if you don’t like it. that it is lacking.’
The Japanese master director, Kyotaro, is an actor named Kang Woo-jin, and he wanted to give a blow to all Japanese actors. you guys are stuck So I want you to watch and wake up and learn.
In fact, director Kyotaro muttered to himself as he looked over the shocked Japanese actors.
‘An actor like this has been learning alone for a long time, just a few months ago, and is now seeing the light. You guys have to feel something.’
Niche Illusion is a bonus.
like that.
“Fade out.”
Around the beginning and middle of the reading for the scenario, director Kyotaro chanted throughout the reading room.
“Let’s take a break.”
after a few tens of minutes.
About 20 minutes were given for a break during the script reading of ‘Familiar Parasite’. However, none of the actors left their seats. The same goes for Woojin Kang. The atmosphere was upbeat. Most of the actors pretended to read the scenario, but glanced at Kang Woo-jin, who had a calm face.
Reporters and about a hundred staff members were busy whispering.
Meanwhile, Choi Seong-gun, who had a ponytail, was on the phone with someone outside the hall. His expression was sincere.
“Is that so? Um- I see. We will carefully check the response to the proposal sent by e-mail. yes. Thanks, yes.”
– Knock.
After the call, Seong-gun Choi put down his cell phone and frowned.
“Tsk.”
It seems that this was not the desired result.
In fact, the person Choi Seong-gun was talking to was an investor for the expansion of bw Enter. It was a project that had been going on for a long time, and there were quite a few investors, including companies, who met with Choi Seong-gun. bw Enter is small and new, but there is Hong Hye-yeon, a top actress, and Kang Woo-jin, who is gaining momentum with her appearance.
As a result, many investors were interested.
Seong-gun Choi felt the need to expand the company and carried out the work, resulting in a situation where investment was just around the corner.
However, the problem is.
‘They’re all trying to sleep.’
That management interference is included in the conditions for all investors with a high probability. Of course, I said it in a roundabout way, but it was like saying that if you dig in, you will make Choi Seong-gun the boss of the pants. I won’t openly interfere from the start, but I’m sure he’ll reveal his true colors little by little.
It was said that if there are many boatmen, the boat will go to the mountains.
Choi Seong-gun, who had gone through all the pre-natal battles in the entertainment industry, knew better than anyone else, and he had experienced or witnessed it in person. Therefore, the conditions for management interference had to be avoided, but all they said was slightly different, and what they wanted was to take control of bw Enter.
“after-”
Seong-gun Choi is deeply troubled.
‘Hyeyeon and Woojin. Right now, bw enter is too small to contain the two of them. Expansion is essential for more expansive care, and you can’t continue to rely only on the two. Finding new talent is also essential.’
It was at this time.
“excuse me.”
A straight female voice penetrated. It was Japanese. Choi Seong-gun, slightly flinching, turned her head. Behind her stood a woman in a neat suit with her long hair in a ponytail. It was Tetsugawa Riri, Chairman Hideki’s chief of staff. Choi Seong-gun also remembered her face.
I saw him standing behind Chairman Hideki a few hours ago.
Seong-Geon Choi then greeted them with a small bow and spat out awkward Japanese.
“Ah, tell me.”
Lily’s answer was slow but clear.
“Will it be all right for a while?”
“You mean that?”
“yes. You’re CEO Seong-gun Choi, right?”
“That’s right.”
Communication progressed, albeit clumsily, and Lily, who slightly turned her body, showed a polite hand gesture. to follow. Choi Seong-geon was a little taken aback, but for now he follows her.
-Sue.
The two arrived at the staff-only room at the end of the hallway after passing the script reading room for ‘Unfamiliar Parasitic’. Lili, who had been ahead, opened the door after taking notes in the room. Soon, the interior of the room was visible to Choi Seong-gun. The room was for employees, so it had a strong office character.
Among them, a 5-person sofa placed in the center.
“ah.”
Choi Seong-geon’s eyes widen slightly. The reason was simple. It was because the head of the five-person sofa was sitting on the seat of President Hideki, the head of the Kashihi Group, with white hair even on his eyebrows. Next to him was a man in a suit, and Riri, who guided Choi Seong-gun, gestured to the sofa next to Chairman Hideki.
“Sit.”
Seong-gun Choi, who was embarrassed. It was only natural that the owner of a Japanese conglomerate was sitting in front of him. Still, he sat down on the sofa with his face as flexible as possible. At the same time, Chairman Hideki, who had a wrinkled smile, opened his mouth.
“I was impressed.”
Sharp-toned Japanese. A man in a suit across from Seong-gun Choi translates it into Korean. Soon, Choi Seong-geon, who thought Korean would be okay, asked Chairman Hideki.
“What do you mean?”
“Actor Kang Woo-jin. The acting I saw a while ago was the first time I’ve seen it until I’m old.”
“Oh, thank you.”
“It was a refreshing shock. Hee hee, I wish my grandson would at least imitate Mr. Kang Woo-jin.”
“yes?”
“no. Rather – yes. I saw potential in Kang Woo-jin. As with acting, his value is very high.”
Chairman Hideki, who was reciting leisurely, winked at Lili. Then, she handed over her prepared transparent file to Choi Seong-gun. The explanation was given by Chairman Hideki.
“It is a suggestion.”
“······which?”
“I’m thinking of recruiting actor Kang Woo-jin from our Kashihi group. As an advertising model for several affiliates.”
Seong-gun Choi, whose eyes widened, opened the transparent file. Proposal in Korean. At a cursory glance, words such as department store and food could be seen. Not even one, but several. what? Choi Seong-gun was a little puzzled. It’s not unheard of for Korean celebrities to shoot commercials in Japan, but it wasn’t frequent either.
In addition, the Kashihi Group suggested it.
The degree of absurdity was severe.
‘What the hell is this… all of a sudden without context??’
Chairman Hideki must have seen Kang Woo-jin for the first time today, but he said he was working on something like this? Did Choi Seong-gun buy it for a while because it was so out of nowhere? he also wanted to
That moment.
“I saw an article about Korea a few days ago.”
Chairman Hideki’s old voice continued as if this was not the end.
“I heard Kang Woo-jin’s contract period is ending. Are you transferring?”
Seong-gun Choi came to the conclusion that Chairman Hideki was overtaking Kang Woo-jin. There must be an agency that is connected to something. Therefore, Seong-gun Choi goes out strong.
“The contract term part is true. But there will be no transfers.”
“······So you are saying that Mr. Kang Woo-jin will continue to connect with bw Enter?”
“That’s right.”
Upon hearing the answer, Chairman Hideki stared into Choi Seong-geon’s eyes for a while. His face was full of wrinkles, but as much as his gaze was a big man. Chairman Hideki suddenly smiled.
“I heard that bw Enter is looking to expand.”
He threw a calm but big proposal.
“I want to invest personally, how is it?”
