I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 196
Only Krnovel
“!!!”
You want to see Woojin? Seong-gun Choi, whose eyes widened at the moment, turned around and quickly moved to the dorm. Does ‘Winner Movie Pictures’ know Woojin? Even so, I checked the sofa in the living room of the dorm. I saw about two men. They were the people from bw Enter who came over together for the LA schedule.
The two employees, who seemed to have just woken up, saw Choi Seong-geon and said hello.
“ah.”
I only lowered my head when I realized that I was on the phone. Choi Seong-gun put a chair in the kitchen in front of them, and as soon as they sat down, he turned his cell phone into a speaker call. His reason was simple. Because one of them was an interpreter belonging to the overseas team of bw Enter. Of course, Seong-Geon Choi can communicate properly, but not professionally.
Be prepared for any unforeseen contingencies.
Choi Seong-gun, who informed the interpreter of the situation with a glance, spoke into the cell phone on the table. Of course it was English.
“Sorry, keep talking.”
“yes. My name is Megan Stone, casting director belonging to ‘Winner Movie Pictures’. I am currently working on a project called ‘The Last Kill 3’ and for director George Mendes.”
Seong-gun Choi already understood to some extent, but the interpreter conveyed the explanation heard through the cell phone to Choi Seong-gun in a whisper.
”Last Kill 3′??’
It was a movie he had been thinking about before. Even George Mendes is a famous director whose name is familiar. Choi Seong-gun, who was gradually getting excited, suppressed his mood.
“Ah- yes, that’s right.”
“Actually, director George Mendes had seen actor Kang Woo-jin in the past. You are interested. Kang Woo-jin is in LA right now, right?”
Do you know that Woojin is in the US? Choi Seong-gun, realizing that something was unusual, nodded.
“···you’re right. Currently around Hermosa Beach.”
When I hear the story of Hermosa Beach, a small smile is mixed with the woman’s tone over the phone.
“Oh, Hermosa Beach. It’s a beautiful place. It’s also close to where I am. If it’s okay, can I meet actor Kang Woo-jin?”
“Is this a meeting request related to ‘The Last Kill 3’?”
“that’s right. It’s hard to give you details, but we’re looking for Asian actors right now. Of course, it’s a role that requires martial arts, and I watched Kang Woo-jin’s video on You Tube. Wasn’t it great to subdue the monster?”
“ah.”
“The director watched it with admiration, and as a result, an opinion came out about how it would be if Kang Woo-jin attended the screen test that had already been scheduled.”
“When is that screen test?”
“It’s a few days later, so it’s a bit tight. But since you’re in LA right now, you don’t have to feel so pressured. I plan to watch proper martial arts, but it’s more important to see the actor’s image reflected on the monitor than the technique.”
In Hollywood, the opportunity to screen test itself was insane. Even actors who are already Hollywood stars go through screen tests. It was suggested by Kang Woo-jin, who has nothing in Hollywood right now. In other words, it was safe to say that it was an enormous opportunity.
‘Director George Mendes saw Woo-jin, and this caddy watched Woo-jin’s black box video…’
It was clear that a lot of things had happened at the same time. Something that could never happen otherwise. However, it wasn’t that important right now.
“Okay, I’ll pass it on to Mr. Kang Woo-jin.”
“yes. I’ll send you a clear schedule and a simple side script by message. Please check and contact us when you decide. I hope you can give it to me as quickly as possible.”
such a disconnected call. However, Seong-gun Choi stared down at his cell phone for a while and was dazed. Because I wanted this to be real. On the other hand, the interpreter of the two employees who heard the situation asked Choi Seong-gun. Both eyes are full of shock.
“Wait, CEO! Did ‘Winner Movie Pictures’ contact Woojin right now?!”
At this time, Seong-gun Choi’s cell phone emitted a short beep.
-♬♪
It was a message from ‘Winner Movie Pictures’.
about an hour later.
Kang Woo-jin came out of the bathroom with wet hair. I can’t see the concept quality because I’m alone. Kang Woo-jin was the same as he was, and he checked the time right away.
’10 o’clock-‘
The future schedule was simple. After 30 minutes, I go out, get a simple make-up, and start shooting for ‘Our Table’ again. At 11:00, the cast members gather to prepare for business, and the store opens at 12:30.
Soon, Kang Woo-jin yawned while drying his hair with a hair dryer.
“Well, it’s coming to an end because you’re going to get used to it.”
It was a mixture of regret and relief. The filming of ‘Our Table’, which was a hellish schedule from adjusting to the jet lag, was already in sight. After today and tomorrow, the first filming was over.
The second shoot is next year.
“It was tough, but it was kind of fun.”
Cooking all day long is the key, but Kang Woo-jin liked the part where foreigners enjoyed the food he made. Their expressions, the way they take pictures of their food, the occasional praise they send to themselves, and so on. It is an experience that Kang Woo-jin, a petit bourgeois, would never be able to do.
‘I wonder how it will look on TV.’
Looking forward to the first room of ‘Our Table’, he put down the dryer and picked up the cell phone thrown on the bed. Among the many contacts accumulated, Choi Seong-gun’s name was seen at the very beginning of the talk. The content was simple. let me know when you wake up
“hmm? what?”
Woojin, tilting his head, sent a reply to Choi Sung-gun, and Choi Sung-gun appeared exactly 3 minutes later. It must have been waiting around. Choi Seong-gun, who was wearing a white hoodie with the ‘Our Table’ logo, had a thin wad of paper stuck in his side.
-It’s sweet.
As soon as the door was closed, Choi Seong-gun opened his mouth.
“Woojin. Since filming will begin soon, I will only tell you the main points.”
Choi Seong-geon’s explanation was short and clear, with excitement in his eyes. ‘Winner Movie Pictures’, ‘Last Kill 3’, screen test, etc. Kang Woo-jin, who listened to it calmly.
“·······”
There was no reaction. The concept is thick both on the outside and on the inside. It’s not that the excitement is weak. It was just because it was difficult to understand for a moment and the accident stopped.
‘Now, wait a minute. So what? Are you saying that Hollywood movie companies are showing interest in me right now?”
Kang Woo-jin, who had difficulty understanding the contents, was filled with question marks as his heart beat quickly.
‘What?? why???’
This time was different from usual. No, should I say that the world is different? To be honest, I feel close to the Korean entertainment industry, but I haven’t felt like Hollywood, which has dominated the world’s film market.
In the first place, the Korean entertainment industry has not yet adapted.
Occasionally, when a Korean actor advances to Hollywood, whether it be a minor or minor role, the domestic entertainment industry is turned upside down. Even Hayu, who is a top actress in Korea, is treated as a rookie in Hollywood. To that extent, Hollywood was a dream stage for all actors in the world. At such a place, she held out her hand to Kang Woo-jin.
However, Kang Woo-jin now has a slightly lukewarm feeling.
No, should I pour cold water on it?
Maybe it was because the place called Hollywood was so unrealistic and felt so far away, so I suddenly felt cold. Other actors would run wild and run, but the intensity of greed is light for the blunt Kang Woo-jin, who knows how heavy the current situation is.
‘Wow, that’s strange. It’s not confirmed anyway, it’s a test. So it’s like an audition, right?’
The severity of the situation is clear, and the more serious the situation, the more time it takes to make judgments and choices. However, Kang Woo-jin’s thinking, growth process, and viewing angle were 180 degrees different from those of ordinary actors, so the direction he understood was also different.
‘Can I just go and act? Well, the audition only changes people from Koreans to foreigners.’
It’s a great opportunity, it’s nabal, and it’s something I decided to take lightly. I wonder if your imagination will become clear only when you have experience.
Kang Woo-jin’s appearance was completely unpredictable to Choi Seong-gun. hard look. What the hell is going through that geek’s head? Thanks to this, Choi Seong-gun swallowed his saliva without revealing it.
‘I’m confused, but you seem to have taken it seriously, don’t you? Yeah, it’s not anywhere else, it’s Hollywood. Woo-jin is judging his personality more deeply than usual.’
Wrong. Kang Woo-jin just gave a very simple answer.
‘Wouldn’t it be a bad idea to go and have a look? If you fall, do nothing and stop. You just have to go and decide.’
To put it simply, if you don’t stop, stop? A crazy idea that Kang Woo-jin can have in the current situation. The pressure and the sense of urgency disappeared. Soon, Woojin, who made the concept quality thicker, chose the ment. Because toughness is essential.
“Not bad.”
“・・・・・Me, isn’t that bad?”
“yes.”
“Hey, don’t you have any tension? is it Hollywood? Or what, is it familiar?”
“No, so am I the only one watching the screen test?”
“uh? Ah- no, I don’t think so. Actors from other countries are also attending on the day? However, if you look at the flow, it must have put you in the original test. As for the role, it’s probably a minor or minor role at best.”
“okay.”
“But you know what? Is this really a big ultra class opportunity? Group and minor roles in Hollywood are on a different level.”
“Yes, I know.”
“Even the work itself is incredibly famous. ‘Last Kill’ series. This opportunity itself will make your ransom go up. If you take the role, what are you writing history for?”
Here, Woo-jin stabbed Choi Seong-geon’s side with his index finger.
“But what is it?”
Choi Seong-gun answered while turning over the side script he had brought with him.
“The side script sent by ‘Winner Movie Pictures’. I think I’ll look at the screen test with that.”
“Is that so?”
“I’ve seen it roughly, but it’s mostly action scenes rather than dialogue. I want you to know that and come. They told me to just check and come back as far as I can do it without any burden. It’s like looking at the actor’s form on the screen anyway.”
“hmm-”
– Palak.
By the time Woo-jin opened the script, Seong-gun Choi checked the time and continued.
“The test day is on the 16th, but luckily we can make it on time. After finishing the first round of filming for ‘Our Table’ tomorrow, we just need to delay our return to Korea by a day, right?”
Kang Woo-jin, who had been slowly nodding his head, muttered lowly.
“Okay, in a day or so. I will do it.”
Choi Seong-gun’s expression brightened at once.
“okay! I’ll contact ‘Winner Movie Pictures’ right away!”
Then he pointed to the side script that Woojin was looking down at.
“how is it? is it difficult The way I see it, it seems complicated. That- If you go to a screen test for no reason and get compared to other actors… isn’t that a bit like that?”
“No, it’s not particularly difficult.”
“oh! Is that so?”
Kang Woo-jin’s answer was low and full of confidence. Put your voice to the max.
“No matter who comes, no matter what country the actor is, I don’t think he will be pushed back.”
The reason was simple.
‘Is the side script easy? Is this the first time since ‘Super Actor’?’
Because there was a black square attached next to the side script.
after
Around the time Kang Woo-jin started cooking as a chef again, news about the first filming of ‘Our Table’ broke out one after another in Korea.
『Kang Woo-jin, the talk of the town, is in a frenzy in the United States? The ‘Our Table’ team was published in a local newspaper in LA』
『[Star Talk] Kang Woo-jin, who was mentioned in the local newspaper in LA, is his cooking skill praised by local chefs?』
There are press releases that the ‘Our Table’ team intended and threw, but there were also many articles that were directly run by reporters who were interested.
Anyway, the progress rate related to LA’s ‘Our Table’ could be confirmed in Korea as well.
『[Photo] Photos released by the production team of ‘Our Table’, Kang Woo-jin and assistant Hong Hye-yeon who are passionate about cooking”
『Food trucks and store interiors posted on the official website of ‘Our Table’, netizens’ expectations ↑』
『Foreigners gathered in front of ‘Our Table’, which sells Korean food… is it that delicious?』
Two days went by like that.
Thanks to this, the last business of the ‘Our Table’ shop near Hermosa Beach in LA was in front of our noses. It was ‘our table’ that welcomed many foreign guests for about a week, and a lot of food was sold. To promote Korean food. There are many foreigners who already know Korea through the Korean Wave, but it was a meaningful time apart from shooting variety shows.
In front of that ‘our table’ shop.
“now! Close the door??”
The performers, including Kang Woo-jin, were gathered, and dozens of productions of ‘Our Table’ covered them. Soon, Jong-Hak An, the pants manager, changed the pet word in front of the door to ‘Closed’. He and Kang Woo-jin, Hwarin, Hong Hye-yeon, Ha Kang-soo, and even Yeon Baek-gwang. Everyone was wearing uniforms with the ‘Our Table’ logo on them, and producer Yoon Byung-seon shouted to them who had just finished the long journey of the first shoot.
“Everyone worked hard!! Before leaving, I’ll take a few group shots in front of the store! Just use it as a poster!”
An Jong-hak and all the cast members helped.
“Okay, okay. Oh Woojin? why are you there You should come to the center, to the center. Are you the leader?”
“K- director An Ga-bok’s man!”
“The hero must not fall into the outskirts!”
“Ah- yes, then.”
As a result, all the cast members of ‘Our Table’ gathered, starting with chef Kang Woo-jin. Soon, many cameras were prepared in front of them, and the cast members took their own poses. Kang Woo-jin crossed his arms with a solemn expression. If the title ‘Our Table’ was inserted at the bottom of this painting, it was just a poster.
Soon, PD Yoon Byung-seon shouted to the members who took a pose.
“Let’s go, one by one!”
-click!!
Thus, the first filming of ‘Our Table’ came to an end.
16th, morning. Hollywood.
The letters ‘HOLLYWOOD’ hung on the mountain behind the building caught my eye. All the foreigners walking on the sidewalk seemed busy enough to feel that it was the home of the movie, and the sound of the countless cars filling the road encouraged the hecticness. There are so many buildings on both sides of the road.
One of the most notable buildings. Something reminds me of a palace, and there are large letters embedded on the roof.
-‘Winner Movie Pictures’
It was ‘Winner Movie Pictures’, a medium-sized film company among the widely spread film companies in Hollywood. All 6-story buildings were occupied, and the 4-story white building right next to it also belonged to ‘Winner Movie Pictures’. The four-story building had a different character from the headquarters. On this side, all four floors were made up of internal sets and studios.
All floors are full of staff, but the 4th floor is especially crowded now.
The entire fourth floor looks like a large vacant room, but it was a studio. not ready yet. Soon, various types of cameras are filled with numerous foreign staff. A long desk was placed in front of the entrance, and a screen was also set to cover the window.
In the meantime, a female staff member with big eyes tilted her head as she placed a tablet, several files, and a stack of papers on the desk in front of her. I glanced at the contents of the wad of paper.
“huh? Did you add an actor for the screen test? Wasn’t there only Chinese actors today?”
A bare-headed male staff right behind her answered.
“I heard director George added it, did he say he was a Korean actor?”
There are 30 minutes left until the screen test.
End
