I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 194
Only Krnovel
It’s an emergency. This was the first thought Kang Woo-jin had when he saw the abnormal situation around the food truck.
‘what? What happened around?’
No, it’s hard to see it that way. In the first place, all Americans were standing in line in front of the food truck called ‘Our Table’. weird. Clearly, there is a problem with that picture. Woojin was clearly embarrassed, but he forced himself to keep his poker face.
However, except for Woojin, all the cast members of ‘Our Table’ express their shock and bewilderment.
“Why did the line stand so long?!”
“Hasn’t the queue at other food trucks passed on to ours too?”
“no! The others haven’t opened yet!!!”
“If you look at it roughly, you can see that there are over 30 people!!!”
Everyone except Kang Woo-jin was flustered. Of course, this scene was vividly captured on the mini-cam installed in the car, and was also being filmed by two VJs with cameras. In the meantime, An Jong-hak, who had his hair brushed up again today, shouted to Ha Kang-soo, who was driving.
“Kangsu! Hey, pass it for now!”
“Are you passing by?”
“Oh, look past it! What if I get off there and there are crowds of people?”
“iced coffee! All right!”
Ha Kang-soo, who was in charge of driving, passed the food truck and stopped the van on the shoulder of the road a few hundred meters. At the same time, everyone turned to the back window of the van. Long lines still visible. Fortunately, the Americans in line didn’t care about the van.
Just waiting for the food truck to open.
At this point, Kang Woo-jin and everyone were convinced. They are waiting for the ‘our table’ food truck, and something has changed. Otherwise, it would have made no sense. Yesterday, when it opened, only flies flew. Of course, there were quite a few customers during the business, but there were far more people passing by.
Soon, An Jong-hak, who had been calming down by brushing his hair, picked up his cell phone.
“Are the staff around? Did Yoon PD see that?”
In an emergency situation, Ahn Jong-hak quickly called PD Yoon Byung-seon. However, it was not necessary.
– Dripping!
The van door suddenly opened and PD Yoon Byung-seon appeared wearing glasses. A mischievous smile spread across his lips as he stood in front of the car door.
“No, there are so many customers, but what are you doing without opening?”
Hwarin and Yeon Baek-gwang, whose eyes widened, asked almost the same question. There was a hint of bewilderment in his voice.
“That, just open it??”
After that, An Jong-hak, the pants boss, joined.
“How do you open in that state? And what about those people? Do you know anything about Yoon PD?”
“Brother, no matter who sees it, they are guests.”
“No, so why are the guests here from morning? You even stood in line.”
“well?”
“I know. What is it, it blows fast.”
Producer Yoon Byung-seon, who had been laughing lightly, showed everyone something he had hidden behind his back.
“Look at this.”
What he put inside the van was a newspaper full of English. unusual thing.
“Here. Can you see our truck on the front page?”
A very familiar picture hung on the front page of the newspaper. It was ‘our table’ food truck. Producer Yoon Byung-seon, who took a picture of that part in the newspaper with his index finger, began to explain.
“This newspaper is a local newspaper, and our truck was featured here. No, we were also surprised that people flocked to it from the morning. So I asked, and this happened.”
“…that it was on the front page of the local newspaper.”
“Yes. But more fun.”
Producer Yoon Byung-seon, who kept a smile, called Woo-jin Kang, who was looking down at the newspaper indifferently.
“Mr. Woojin, do you remember the old couple yesterday?”
“yes.”
“Well, of course not. was the first guest. Anyway, of the two of you, the grandfather is quite famous here.”
Hong Hye-yeon with long straight hair tied up.
“Ah, I heard you. He is a chef who runs a restaurant. I was surprised to hear that.”
As if that wasn’t the end, Yoon Byung-seon PD took over the baton.
“When I looked into the restaurant, it turned out that it had received one Michelin star. It was a very famous and well-known restaurant among the people around here.”
“Me, Michelin!”
“Wow- great. what is it then? Did Woojin hyung get rave reviews from that chef?!”
By the time Yeon Baek-gwang was excited, Kang Woo-jin almost did a shoulder dance with him. Woojin, who barely endured it, lowered his voice as much as possible.
“Did he spread the rumor? Is that why I am a knight?”
“It’s similar. The chef gave me his contact information to let me know when he opens the store? I checked with him on the phone, but he seems to have recommended our food truck to his acquaintances on his way home yesterday. Among them, there were reporters who worked for local newspapers.”
“Did the reporter come to our truck yesterday?”
“yes! But this is not only in newspapers, but also on the web. It appeared on social media in the local newspaper.”
“·······”
Woojin, who grasped the situation, shut his mouth. Either that or not, Yoon Byung-seon PD was excited.
“It’s normal when people flock to it!”
Producer Yoon Byung-seon tapped the title of the newspaper in English with his index finger and showed Woo-jin a deep smile.
“Mr. Woojin, I don’t need everything. Just translate the title here and there.”
“···’Korean food that even a Michelin 1-star chef fell in love with, the taste of Korean food from a food truck from Korea was fantastic.’”
“You see it at the end of the article, right? There was also an interview with the grandfather chef yesterday.”
Then, after closing the newspaper, PD Yoon Byung-seon asked all the cast members of ‘Our Table’, who were dumbfounded.
“uh? what are you all doing here? Gotta go and open it. Are you going to keep your customers waiting? You’ve only been taking pictures of closed food trucks since before, right? Alright, I’m done with the situation. Should I hurry up and guide the guests?”
“·······”
“Aren’t those guests all? It’s about that much before opening, and if it’s over the opening hours, there may be more crowds! ruler! Move move!”
In an instant, Kang Woo-jin remembered the white-haired American grandfather who smiled kindly yesterday. He who smiles haha. For some reason, it overlaps with the face of Ga-Bok An.
‘······Why do Korean and American grandfathers around me like to work? Why?!’
I even felt it. The food truck today
‘Ha- I’m tired.’
That it would be a train to hell.
A few hours later, Korea.
It was early morning on the 10th. The place is a huge house in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul. At first glance, I would like to live in a conglomerate, but now this house is full of foreigners instead of chaebol. It was the team of world-famous star ‘Miley Cara’ who recently visited Korea.
Her team rented this house.
Although hotels are common, we changed accommodations for the safety of Miley Cara. Whatever she was, she was currently asleep, Miley Cara, three days after coming to Korea. On the other hand, the rest of the foreign staff except for her were busy preparing for today’s schedule.
Thanks to this, the living room on the first floor of the house is bustling.
Among them, a gigantic, half-skinned foreign man sitting on the sofa in the living room caught my eye. He was Kara’s main manager, and foreigners of different sizes around him are busy reporting something to Bansak’s manager. Then, a slim foreign man spat out a question mark.
“Jonathan, but why does Kara only think of ‘Kang Woo-jin Bukkae’ out of many Korean Youtube channels?”
The half-sack manager crosses his arms. As a result, the muscles stand out.
“Who knows Kara’s insides.”
He answered briefly, briefly recalling a few days ago.
It was a conversation I had with Miley Cara on the plane before arriving in Korea. The beginning is around the area where Bansak manager was checking the information of the channel after Kara declared that she would only appear on the ‘Kang Woo-jin Bukkae’ channel.
[Channel Name: Kang Woo-jin Bukkae]
[7.88 million subscribers]
[31 videos]
The main description of the channel was in Korean, but below that, English and Japanese were kindly listed. It was only natural that the channel was quite large and had a lot of overseas fans. Anyway, manager Bansak, who was watching the ‘Kang Woo-jin Bukkae’ channel, immediately looked up and met Kara’s blue eyes as she sat in her seat.
“Kara, this channel was also on our schedule.”
In response, Kara asked back slightly coldly.
“But why are you missing? It wasn’t on the list I showed you.”
The explanation of the half-cutting manager immediately follows.
“It was there when I first investigated. It has a great number of subscribers, and the number of views for each video is amazing.”
“however?”
“It’s because there is a problem with appearing for publicity. The channel’s main content is song covers, but of course, there are occasional videos of the channel owner communicating with subscribers. but.”
“You mean more than 90% of the videos are covers, right?”
“that’s right. What we want is proper talk, movie promotion, and appeal to Kara’s charms, so we think it’s right to contact a channel with that kind of personality in the first place.”
It wasn’t a false statement. No matter how many subscribers there are, if the concept of the channel is solid, promoting it will be exhausting.
“For reference, there are quite a few channels of that size in Korea. Sure, there aren’t many, but they do exist. What we, or the film industry, want is a channel that is overtly promotional.”
“Then find a way.”
“······after-”
As if he was used to it, the Bansak manager scratched his head before continuing.
“Okay, let’s try contacting this channel first. I’m going to ask if you can make a separate content for us. If you don’t want anything more than song covers on a channel, consider another channel. Of course, since you’re Kara, the channel owner might be forced to make a corner, but we checked and if it’s poor, it’s out.”
“hmm-”
“This is not going to happen because you insist on it. Because you have your image and the position of the film company.”
“of course. Rather, did you know that the owner of that channel is a Korean actor?”
“of course. I’ve done research, so I’m a little worried about that too. It feels like the channel I opened as a hobby got lucky and grew.”
“hobby? It doesn’t make sense to say that vocal skills are a hobby. And Kang Woo-jin? I’m not serious as a singer, but I like it because it’s similar to me. Also, she did a great cover of my song. Looking at the videos, I think I can speak English to some extent.”
Miley Cara coldly explains. Seeing her like that, her manager smiled.
“See you often. that channel.”
“sometimes. Actor Kang Woo-jin has a good voice. It’s to the point where she wants to see her main job, acting.”
“······Right.”
The Bansak manager, who noticed something, sighed again.
“Are you asking me to find the work of that Korean actor? Of course it has English subtitles.”
“That’s right, so you can see it during your schedule in Korea. And about actor Kang Woo-jin.”
“Yes, if it turns out that you are on that channel.”
Blonde Kara smiled lightly.
“Thank you again, Jonathan.”
So far. The Bansak manager, who even remembered Kara’s smile, returned to reality, to the sofa in the living room of the house.
Then I asked the foreign staff sitting next to me.
“How much research has been done on the Korean actor Kang Woo-jin and the ‘Kang Woo-jin Bukkae’ channel?”
The quick answer was a woman with freckles.
“I’m not sure because I found out in a hurry, but this should be enough for Kara to see.”
She handed the tablet over to the Bansak manager.
Following.
“But there is something strange about Kang Woo-jin, a Korean actor.”
“hmm? why. Have you ever committed a crime in the past?”
“Please. It’s not like that, the more you know, the more absurd he has. Take a look at the data, Jonathan.”
After looking at her for a while, Bansak’s manager lowers her gaze to the tablet. A brief questionnaire about Kang Woo-jin was displayed on the screen. However, the content was not simple. There may be differences between Korea and Hollywood, but Kang Woo-jin’s overall filmography displayed on the tablet was comparable to that of middle-aged or above in Hollywood.
Soon, the half-cut manager sweeping his chin in admiration.
“Oh- He was an actor with a stronger filmography than I thought, I’ve heard of director Kwon Ki-taek. And even director Kyotaro Tanoguchi. Did you go all the way to Japan? great? I worked with Korean masters.”
“All of the Korean works he took hit a home run.”
“We even have such a big YouTube channel here. Was it top-notch?”
A woman with freckles that instantly changes the mood.
“That’s what I achieved in one year of debut.”
Shock spread at once on the face of the Bansak manager, who was interested.
“What, what?”
Meanwhile, the largest room on the second floor of the house.
At a cursory glance, there was nothing in the luxurious room. Bed, TV, refrigerator, dining table and table, sofa, bathroom and so on. A level that is full and full for one person to live.
On the sofa in such a room, a woman with long blonde hair is lying on the bed.
It was Miley Cara. However, she was watching TV while lying on her stomach, not falling asleep. To be precise, the Korean drama ‘Profiler Hallyang’. It’s probably connected to Netflix. Of course, English subtitles were included, and the interrogation scene of ‘Chief Park’ was being displayed on the screen.
Kara, who has a slightly cold face, couldn’t take her eyes off ‘Park Dae-ri’ on TV.
reason?
Because the Korean actor Kang Woo-jin, who has the ‘Kang Woo-jin Bukkae’,’s acting skills were beyond my imagination.
‘······ No, is it you? It feels completely different from the cover video, doesn’t it?’
At this time.
– Smart smart.
A knocking sound spreads through the room. Thanks to that, Kara, who had stopped the amount of regeneration and tidied up her long blonde hair, got up and opened the door. Standing in front of the door was a big half-sack manager.
“Yes, Jonathan.”
The Bansak manager, who handed over the tablet he had brought to Kara, spoke English in a very serious tone.
“Kara, look at that.”
“What.”
“About Kang Woo-jin.”
“already?”
“Kang Woo-jin, there are many interesting things about this Korean actor. Watch the video first before explaining.”
Kara narrowed her eyebrows and lowered her gaze to the tablet screen handed to her. A video was displayed on the tablet. The main character is, of course, Kang Woo-jin. After watching the video for a while, Kara’s calm face shows embarrassment. Then, with her eyes on the video, she asked her manager a small question.
“what? Is this an action movie scene?”
The Bansak manager shook his head.
“No, it’s real. That was a few days ago.”
A few days later, on the 13th. Hollywood, LA, USA.
late morning. The location was Hollywood, which is called the home of movies. The Beverlyn Hotel, a 5-star hotel located in the heart of such Hollywood. Indeed, it is a 5-star ultra-luxury hotel, so there were a lot of scary people from the lobby, and the atmosphere changes instantly when you pass through the crowded first-floor lobby and fall to the back of the hotel.
The outdoor garden decorated like a beach is overflowing with leisure. I saw a lot of foreigners swimming in the pool or sunbathing.
In the middle of those many beach benches.
“·······”
A plump man wearing sunglasses caught my eye. It was something that reminded me of Santa Claus. His hair color is somewhere between yellow and white. The man lay on his bench and seemed to be enjoying the sun.
It was then.
“director.”
A woman’s voice was heard by the Santa man. Soon, the man who only turned his head saw a brown-haired foreign woman in a suit. As soon as she sees her, the Santa man enjoys sunbathing again.
“You woke up early.”
“Did you throw your phone into the pool?”
“No way. It will be in the locker.”
“Why don’t you at least be in a visible place.”
“If you catch the casting director’s eye, things go up.”
The woman sighed and shook her head, but changed the subject.
“As the director said, we are constantly monitoring Asian actors.”
“Look at this, as expected, work is increasing.”
“······As expected, there are a lot of martial arts in China.”
“I guess so.”
“By the way, do you remember the Korean actor I mentioned before?”
“hmm? Who was it?”
“It was the most noticeable at the ‘Mise-en-scène International Film Festival’, a film festival in Korea. Kang Woo-jin is an actor.”
“Ah- yes, I remember.”
“Recently regarding that actor-”
The short-haired woman took a step closer to the lying Santa and said,
“There’s an interesting video on You Tube about subduing a gangster.”
