I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 201
Only Krnovel
On the morning of the 18th, DM Production in Seoul.
The time is 9:30 in the morning. DM Production is producing the new drama ‘Good Evil’ by Nana Choi. Like a new production company, all team members in the office look very busy. The people in the medium-sized conference room that stood out past them were also in the middle of a meeting.
No, rather than a meeting, the atmosphere is very heavy, as if risking one’s life.
About 5 people sat around a U-shaped desk. Among them, the one sitting in the top seat was PD Song Man-woo, who had lost weight and had a thin beard. He often stayed up all night preparing for the production of ‘Beneficial Evil’.
“hmm-”
He was looking down at the transparent file with his forehead covered, and the staff on both sides of PD Song Man-woo were key staff other than the head of the production department or caddy. On the white board behind them, the names of numerous actors were attached.
Kang Woo-jin’s name is the only one written in the ‘OK’ group.
It was then.
“PD-nim, why don’t you try pushing it with six thousand?”
Likewise, the caddy, who was looking down at the transparent file, opened the water. Looking closely, the transparent files they were looking at were organized with data on Kang Woo-jin’s ransom. Well, it was a natural flow. Now that she was approved as the main male lead of ‘Good Evil’, she now had to negotiate and seal the realistic part.
Drama production is always a mountain beyond mountains.
Soon, PD Song Man-woo, who shook his head slowly, answered seriously.
“In this situation, don’t give an opinion of ‘for now’. It’s just what Woojin said he was doing. It’s still a tightrope.”
“······sorry.”
“It’s not drama production One Day Today, has it been overturned once or twice after the actors said they were doing it?”
Here, the production chief sitting on the right intervened.
“Still, did Woojin-ssi and PD-nim share a meal together? In a way, it is also the work that made Kang Woo-jin the present person. I hope there is such a relationship, but I don’t want it to turn around.”
“Of course, Woojin-san isn’t the type to lightly change his words. I’m usually very cynical. However, what I’m saying is that you shouldn’t be vigilant by leaning on that kind of relationship.”
“ah.”
“Moreover, Woojin is a knife-like person in the real world, and he knows his own value very well. Perhaps he still set some ransom standards?”
In an instant, the past came to mind to beard producer Song Man-woo.
‘At that time, even when I was a freshman with nothing, I raised my value without hesitation.’
It was time to stamp Kang Woo-jin’s appearance in relation to ‘Profiler Hanryang’.
“That’s why I’m saying that you shouldn’t do anything roughly. In addition, we have the face of our new DM production. It is a work that is just starting, but it is also necessary to raise the image of having a lot of capital.”
PD Song Man-woo, who was reciting, tapped the transparent file he was holding.
“Stop things like this, and tell us your honest thoughts, not the production company’s point of view.”
The production director responded quickly.
“To be honest, Woojin’s ransom was up to 6,000 per synagogue until he went to the United States this time.”
“however?”
“It is judged that it has risen a lot in ten days. The biggest reason is that I joined director Ahn Ga-bok’s work as a lead role. And that there is a strong atmosphere to sweep the awards at various year-end awards ceremonies scheduled.”
“There must be an additional issue of saving Hwarin. Woojin’s ‘martial arts’ skills are also a significant plus for our work.”
“yes. If we assume all the small things other than the part that became a hot topic with ‘our table’ and the Miley Kara issue… I don’t know. Right now, shouldn’t we think about seven thousand per synagogue?”
Seven thousand per synagogue. In just 10 days, Woojin’s ransom price went up. However, this was not a misjudgment. Because it was certain that Kang Woo-jin produced such results.
PD Song Man-woo, who had been brushing his beard around this time, added one more reason.
“…Hmm, I have to add the cost of hardships as a male lead who will additionally grab and drag ‘beneficial evil’ by the collar. If it was Woojin, he would have put everything into the calculation.”
Whatever it is, the maximum is 7,000 or more. At that moment, PD Song Man-woo spat out a laugh.
‘It seems like yesterday that I saw a show at 350 per episode during Hanryang, but I can’t believe I’m talking about 6 and 7 thousand – this is the first time in decades that this has happened.’
PD Song Man-woo, who had been lost in thought for a while, chanted to the key staff as if he had finished organizing.
“Okay, maximum 7500. Let’s attach it somehow.”
after about 1 hour. A large recording studio near Sinsa Station.
It was a recording studio with a different feel than a typical recording studio. First of all, the size was significant. There were many microphones, a booth that could easily accommodate at least 10 people, and the equipment to control the recording was also quite large. There are also many waiting sofas and chairs to watch the recording.
Wouldn’t it be three times bigger than a typical recording studio?
And that wasn’t all.
Various musical instruments and albums attached to the wall make the interior of the recording studio luxurious. Dozens of people are busy moving around in such a recording studio. A PD with a familiar face is leading the way.
“We install a lot of cameras in the booth where we record vocals, rather than on the equipment side here!”
“All right! Shall we put it on the ceiling?”
“Uh, even on the ceiling. Front, side, rear, top, right in front of the microphone. entire.”
“Has confirmed!”
“PD! How many chairs should I set?!”
“Ah- Hmm, first of all, there are at least 10 people on our side alone, and I don’t know how many of them will come… I put about 20 just in case! If you add the sofa, it will be worth it.”
“yes!”
All of them, including the PD, were a team from the ‘Kang Woo-jin Bukkae’ channel. As the channel grew, so did the number of employees. Recently, the office has been moved to a larger space.
For reference, the ‘Kang Woo-jin Bukae’ channel is.
[Channel Name: Kang Woo-jin Bukkae]
[8.33 million subscribers]
[33 videos]
It recently passed 8 million subscribers. The upload of the video was a little slow due to the US schedule, but thanks to the issues that broke out in the meantime, subscribers were steadily accumulating.
Of course, it was the ‘Kang Woo-jin Bukkae’ channel that the future is more anticipated.
why?
About an hour later, in this recording studio, the ‘Kang Woo-jin Bukae’ channel starts filming with Miley Cara. A project that only proceeds with the ‘Kang Woojin Bukae’ channel among many Nutube channels in Korea.
Expectations were already high at home and abroad.
That’s why the staff who set up the shooting moved their hands busily with faces wondering if this was a dream or a birthday.
“Crazy… is the real Miley Cara coming here?? I am a huge fan.”
“me too. I grew up watching all of Kara’s movies and songs… I thought I would never see them.”
“I’m going to bow to Woojin. Thank you for allowing me to see Miley Cara within a month of joining the company.”
“very! I think the ‘Kang Woo-jin Bukkae’ channel is really awesome, the ripple effect or anything is almost overwhelming!”
“I said everything because that global superstar Kara was shot.”
“Kang Woo-jin-nim is really… no, should I call him the boss? So, isn’t it great? Even an actor is his main job!”
All the male and female staff members were losing their sense of reality because they were all watching Hollywood star Miley Cara. Of course, there were quite a few people who had recently joined the company and were seeing Kang Woo-jin for the first time.
“Ha-Anyway, I’m totally looking forward to today!”
this time.
Kang Woo-jin was about to get out of a van parked in the parking lot of a recording studio.
– Empty!
She had full makeup, her hair was neatly touched, and her outfit was a thick knitwear and jeans. It was natural, but the expression was firm.
“·······”
But somehow it feels more thorough than the usual concept quality. The reason was simple.
-Sue.
Because there was a camera from the ‘Kang Woo-jin Bukae’ channel next to Kang Woo-jin. He was a VJ who would film every moment. It was natural because it was such a big picture. It feels a bit like shooting a variety show. Therefore, the heart of Woojin, who has a poker face, could not be quiet.
Shooting is also shooting, but the guest is that Miley Cara.
‘Crazy, but now even a top Hollywood actor?? Wow- it’s going to turn, really.’
In fact, by the time Choi Seong-gun told him, Kang Woo-jin was embarrassed, but he was resolute in his own way. I don’t know the exact reason, but it’s probably because Woojin was in Hollywood at the time.
However, as the filming approached, he was very nervous.
How do you feel about meeting an alien?
Such Kang Woo-jin tries to pour cold water into his heart and moves on. There are no comments. VJ also follows Woo-jin to see if he has already made up his mind.
On the other hand, the teams following Kang Woo-jin made a fuss.
First of all, the stylists were very reminded.
“Oh, what is Woojin oppa going to eat? Why are you so calm?”
“Right? Honestly, I thought there would be a little bit of a change in expression because it’s Miley Cara!”
“I see it every time, but it’s so, so amazing.”
Han Ye-jeong, who was promoted to head stylist, also felt a sense of tension unlike usual when she was cold. Choi Seong-gun, who caught it.
“Why didn’t you say anything before?”
“······ CEO, I think I’m going to vomit.”
“uh?”
“Miley is a huge fan of Kara- she’s crazy about acting and as a singer, but Kara recognizes her for her fashion as well.”
“Ah, I think I heard.”
The same was true of the great Jang Soo-hwan. Anyway, Kang Woo-jin and his team entered the recording studio. A big greeting comes soon. Among them, the main PD approached Kang Woo-jin.
“Ha ha ha, are you here? Once the camera installation inside the studio is over. Please check it out and let me know if there is anything missing.”
“Ah- yes.”
Kang Woo-jin took a quick look at the spacious recording studio. Seeing and drinking. It was then.
-♬♪
Choi Seong-gun was about to sit down in the waiting chair behind the recording machine when his cell phone rang. It was a call from a staff member who was waiting on the first floor.
“Oh, oh, okay.”
After the phone call, he said to Woojin.
“Miley Cara is coming up.”
Before Kang Woo-jin could react, dozens of staff around him made a fuss. Woong-seong-woongseong, gossip gossip. About 3 minutes back.
-Sue.
The glass door of the recording studio opens, and the big foreigners enter first. At first glance, it was a guard, and a blonde woman appeared right behind them.
It was Miley Cara, a superstar all over the world.
Thanks to this, the ‘Kang Woo-jin Bukkae’ team froze. Just follow Miley Cara, who has appeared with a good scent, only with her eyes. Kara wore short khaki padding for the winter weather in Korea, and her blue eyes focused on the man standing in the center of the recording studio.
‘That man, Kang Woo-jin.’
Judging by his appearance and aura, it was clear that he was Kang Woo-jin. Therefore, Kara immediately approached Woojin. A weak smile, an outstretched handshake, open lips. Kara gave off her characteristic cold voice.
“Woojin Kang? nice to meet you. This is Miley Cara.”
At the sound of her voice, Woojin’s staff members spit out unspoken excitement. She didn’t make a sound, but she took action, such as covering her mouth. On the other hand, Kang Woo-jin held Kara’s hand and spat out a cynical greeting from her. Of course, it was English.
“Hello, this is Kang Woo-jin.”
At the same time, Kang Woo-jin checking the teams behind Kara. There are about 10 of them, but they are all foreigners, and looking at the number of people holding cameras, it seemed that Kara had a filming team mixed in as well. It was worth it. Kang Woo-jin has 8 million subscribers, but Miley Cara’s official Nutube channel has over 70 million subscribers. For reference, he has 100 million social media followers.
Yes, she was actually an alien.
“As expected – you speak English quite well.”
Kang Woo-jin looked at the blue-eyed Kara right in front of him.
‘Are the aliens talking? Reformation period.’
I had to keep my mind tight.
“It’s just about communicating.”
“hmm? isn’t it? I expected it to some extent when I saw the English cover of a You Tube video, but when I saw it, it was more than that.”
“thank you.”
“I expected a lot, thank you for covering my song.”
“Because it’s such a great song. It was an honor for me.”
“Um- This is very calm lip service, right? Oh, I also watched a drama starring Woojin. I didn’t see it all, but it was impressive.”
“Is that so? I’ve seen a lot of your movies too. Before becoming an actor.”
“really? Oh, but it’s only been a year since you became an actor?”
“yes.”
A natural flow, as if two Americans were greeting each other. Of course, Kara and Kang Woo-jin’s shooting team had cameras attached, and Miley Kara scanned Woo-jin Kang right in front of her even while removing her padding from her mouth.
‘The real thing is several times better, it’s a quieter style than I thought. Is it completely different from the acting roles you’ve seen? The tension is so low, where does the explosive power come from? Besides, was the 1-year gap between debuts real??
Then she suddenly asked Kang Woo-jin.
“…do you know a man named Joseph Felton?”
yeah i know He was the producer who gave me his business card in Hollywood. I don’t know why the name came out of her mouth, but Woojin denied it because she had to hide everything about ‘Last Kill 3’.
“No, this is the first time I’ve heard of it. Why are you asking?”
Kara, who brushed her blonde hair behind her ear, shook her head.
“It’s okay if you don’t know, I just asked just in case.”
“okay.”
Soon after, Woojin handed Kara the tablet he received from the PD of the ‘Kang Woojin Bukkae’ channel.
“I should start by explaining today’s shooting schedule.”
The entire schedule was briefed in fluent English. Kara, as well as her Bansak manager and all the teams, listened. To briefly summarize, duet vocals were filmed in this recording studio, and the rest of the content, such as talk and cooking, had to be moved to another rental studio.
Kara’s understanding was quick because it had already been communicated to some extent.
“Okay, then the duet song is ‘Absolute,’ which you covered as well?”
“you’re right.”
Kara flaunts her chest-length blonde hair. nodding your head.
“okay. Woojin-ssi covered the lyrics of ‘Absolute’ in Korean, but which one will you do this time? english? korean?”
“I don’t care either way.”
Kara, who had been looking at Kang Woo-jin, talked for a while with the team, and then met Woo-jin with blue eyes.
“Before the duet, I want to hear ‘Absolute’ sung by Woojin as a solo artist.”
It was a bit cold, but it was firm.
“If possible, with Korean lyrics uploaded as a cover video. There’s a big difference between watching a video and listening to it in person, so let’s listen first and try to match the feel of the duet.”
Kang Woo-jin nodded his head nonchalantly.
“great.”
Soon, some foreigners from Kara’s team sat in front of the recording device.
“Oops, I didn’t expect to come to Korea and produce.”
“Haha, me too.”
“By the way, is that Korean actor good at singing? I didn’t see the cover video.”
“Well, I haven’t heard much either. But you did a pretty good cover of Kara’s song. I really wanted to.”
“Oh-ho?”
Miley Cara stood behind them. Kang Woo-jin talked with Choi Seong-gun and PD for a while before moving to the recording booth.
Standing in front of the microphone, Woojin puts on headphones.
Kara, who had been watching it from outside the booth, involuntarily spat out a faint exclamation. Of course, the opponent was the Bansak manager standing right next to him.
“He’s handsome, and he seems to draw more attention with a strangely rough feeling mixed in.”
“Kara. You can talk about that later. A lot of people are listening.”
“How are you? Emotions should be said when you feel them so that you feel refreshed.”
“······okay. Anyway, with that face and enough vocal skills to cover four songs, it must be popular.”
At this time.
-♬♪
The prelude to ‘Absolute’, one of Miley Cara’s hit songs, spreads throughout the recording studio. Start with an intense drum. Gradually the violin blends in. Then, after a sudden stop, the drum beats slowly again.
The introduction, Kang Woo-jin’s vocals, began.
It’s low depending on the drum, but his firm and bold tone pierces the ears of the entire recording studio.
In an instant, the movements of the foreigners sitting in front of the recording equipment stopped.
“uh?”
“wait for a sec.”
And Kara’s forearms had goosebumps.
‘Your voice is… so good? As if it’s not my song.’
Kang Woo-jin focused everyone in the recording studio with just one line, and while everyone was watching, ‘Absolute’ went straight to the chorus.
-♬♪
Unlike the beginning, the drums and violin, which have become more intense, and Kang Woo-jin’s vocals, which are also slightly rough, mix and reach the climax. The more he does, the more appeal and emotion are buried in his tone. Kara, the original singer, couldn’t have known this.
‘Vocals are also vocals. Emotions, how can you melt those feelings into a cover song?’
The message melted into ‘Absolute’ was freedom. Kara, who is also an actress, sings this song mixed with despair. That’s why hopeful power is gradually mixed.
But now that Korean actor is angry from start to finish.
full of complaints It was such a vocal.
Of course, Ujin’s expression was gradually mixed with resentment. Naturally, the vocals are mixed with that intensity, and the song is also varied according to Kang Woo-jin’s tuning.
‘Emotional concentration…’
An unprecedented level. Isn’t it even a cover song that’s not your own song? The blonde Kara stopped moving and was purely fascinated by him and Kang Woo-jin. Her Woojin energy, not her looks, sucked her in.
Miley Cara was involuntarily amazed.
‘what! The cover video didn’t even cover half of it!’
Even according to the theme of the ‘Kang Woo-jin Bukae’ channel.
‘hobby?? What kind of hobby is this?!’
To Kang Woo-jin, vocals weren’t even a ‘bone character’.
End
