I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 212
Only Krnovel
President Hideki, who was looking at an article that seemed to have just popped up.
『[Breaking News] Kashihi Group affiliates appoint Korean actor 「Kang Woo-jin」 as an advertising model? A ‘strange thing’ happened
He nodded slowly, as if satisfied. Then he checks the contents of the article. As expected, only the information Chairman Hideki wanted was displayed. Adequate information, neither too much nor too little.
Chairman Hideki, who was reading such an article, spoke to the passenger seat Liri again.
“What did you decide to do with bw Enter?”
With her long hair neatly tied back, she gave a quick reply.
“After we published an article first, they decided to publish an official recognition article about half a day later today.”
“Our position is.”
“It will be exported as an additional article in an hour.”
The ‘stance’ that President Hideki referred to was the ‘recognition’ of the Kashihi Group. That Korean actor Kang Woo-jin was accepted as a model for several affiliates.
Maybe after this, the Japanese media will heat up.
In fact, other media outlets have also caught up.
『Kang Woo-jin, who set a record of 8 crowns in Korea, suddenly signed a model contract with Kashihi Group affiliates?』
In the first place, it was the first time that Kashihi Group used a Korean actor as a model, and even looking at the Japanese entertainment industry as a whole, it was rare for a Korean celebrity to act as an advertising model. Moreover, the main character is Kang Woo-jin.
He has already become a hot topic several times in Japan near the end of the year.
Hwarin’s mysterious incident, a solo photo shoot with Miley Kara, and 8 crowns that left a record in the Korean entertainment industry. In terms of popularity in Japan, it was already on par with quite a few KPOP idols. Since such Woojin suddenly got a job as an advertising model related to the Kashihi Group, the Japanese media couldn’t help but be excited.
In addition, the fact that there is a Kashihi group behind the ‘familiar parasitic’, even if there was no official announcement, was almost an established fact, so curiosity would be amplified.
Whatever it was, President Hideki, who looked at his phone again, crossed his legs.
“The move to bw entertainment went well?”
“Yes, Chairman. After moving, he is now aggressively moving toward business expansion.”
“How about Kang Woo-jin?”
“Since it became a hot topic at the year-end awards ceremony, I am concentrating on filming the work.”
“Hmm, still busy. When are you going to come over to Japan?”
“It seems that it will become clear only when director Kyotaro Tanokuchi of ‘Familiar Parasite’ confirms the filming, but as expected, it will come over within January. The pre-stage for ‘Unfamiliar’ is over, and we only need to fix the shooting day.”
“Now it’s the end of the year, and it’s the new year, are you waiting a bit because you’re hectic?”
“Yes, there is also the issue of the actors schedule.”
Upon hearing the answer, President Hideki raised his voice again.
“Check the ‘Unfamiliar’ side again.”
This time, Kyoto, Japan.
An area close to the sea in Kyoto. It was also a very popular tourist destination. Inefunaya is a fishing village, also called an underwater village, with the sea in front and mountains behind.
In fact, the fishing village of Inefunaya was floating on the sea.
Of course, it was a village built at the end of the land, but from a distance it looked like it was floating on the sea. If it’s a superb view, it’s a superb view. The town wasn’t very big. However, how to say it, the interior of each house looks like a painting because it feels like it goes well with the sea and the mountains. The town as a whole was quiet. At first glance, it seemed to be tasteful, but looking at it differently, it was a strangely creepy silence.
A group of 10 people was seen in Inefunaya Village. Of course the Japanese.
Some were taking pictures of the village from a distance while on a boat, and some were checking the conditions while walking around the alleys inside the small village. You can see people taking pictures of each house and concentrating on the conversation. At first glance, I thought it was a tourist, but I wasn’t.
“It definitely has a bit of an eerie feeling to it.”
“The director saw it well. It’s nice now, but in the late afternoon or at night, the atmosphere will definitely liven up.”
“Especially, the condition of the alley is perfect for the work. The place I saw earlier seemed like a real murder case.”
“Indeed, the director’s eye for choosing places is amazing. This is not the place that appeared in the original story, is it?”
“that’s right. I heard that it was added separately when the director was adapting ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’.”
It was. These were the production crew of director Kyotaro’s film ‘The Stranger’s Sacrifice’. Among them, the key staff of each team gathered. That’s why at the entrance of the back mountain, where you can see the village at a glance, the familiar master director was also there.
It was director Kyotaro Tanoguchi with short gray hair.
“hmm-”
Arms crossed, he was looking around the fishing village of Inefunaya along with the assistant director of the production department. The reason why the kissing staff of ‘Unfamiliar Gisaeng’, including director Kyotaro, came here was simple. It was the last place hunting right before the filming crank-in.
Because this is where the first filming of ‘Familiar’ begins.
It wasn’t uncommon to crank in an outdoor shoot. However, it is common to start with a set. I don’t bother taking an outdoor shoot, where many staff and actors have to move, as the first shot. On the other hand, ‘strange stranger’. Director Kyotaro decided on Inefunaya, a fishing village, as the first filming location.
Because the shooting schedule did not match the fishing village side.
what could be different? The unfortunate side has no choice but to overdo it a little. As much as that, this fishing village was a necessary place for ‘Unfamiliar Parasitic’, and it was also a place that director Kyotaro was very greedy for. Inefunaya, who was not in the original work of ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’, but was contacted by director Kyotaro himself.
Soon, director Kyotaro looks at the tallest brown building in the middle of the town floating on the sea.
‘The hometown of Tohka Misaki.’
It was. This fishing village was the birthplace of Toka Misaki, who fired the first shot at the ‘bizarre sacrifice’ of Kiyoshi Iyota, a ‘stranger’, according to the setting of ‘The Stranger’. Next, director Kyotaro passes through a tall brown building and sees the sea in the distance.
To be precise, he stares at a fishing boat floating in the sea.
‘A place where naked victims will be found.’
It means that one of the homework to be done by Kiyoshi Iyota, played by Kang Woo-jin, is a ship that will be found. Obviously, the bizarre was right. A naked victim in Tokyo will suddenly be found on the fishing boat of Inefunaya, a fishing village on the edge of Kyoto.
Even with panties.
Naturally, all the cuts were currently playing only in director Kyotaro’s head. And he gave a satisfied smile. It would be gloomy enough, and a grotesque picture was being made.
“I want to point the camera at you.”
Director Kyotaro’s body itches. The preparations for the filming of ‘Familiar Parasitic’ had already been completed. In fact, all I had to do was pick up the camera on the first day of filming. However, film production cannot proceed according to the director’s will. First of all, the end of the year and the new year overlapped, and above all, I had to match the words with ‘Inefunaya’, which was the first filming location.
Today, there was also a visit to find the point of agreement.
It was at this time.
“Director!”
I heard a male voice directing Kyotaro from below. Bonnie, the production chief and production department staff, who had left consultations with the village, were coming up, and the production chief, who was breathing heavily, gave a thumbs up to director Kyotaro, who was standing at the beginning of the mountain.
“Fortunately, the. Somehow I was able to convince him.”
Director Kyotaro, arms crossed, asked right away.
“How are the conditions?”
“Originally, it was said that more than one day would be difficult, but we extended it to 3 days due to circumstances. Instead, I think I will have to spend a little more than the equivalent of three days.”
It was about money. Recalling Chairman Hideki, the main investor, Kyotaro said in a tone that he did not mind.
“However much. Moreover, they would block entry to the village during filming. That much is natural, isn’t it?”
“Yes, and accommodations can be prepared by the village. There is also a place to stay quite close.”
“hmm. By the way, it’s 3 days – it must be a forced march.”
“It seems a bit difficult to increase. Fortunately, the representative here was a fan of author Akari, so I was able to dig into it. The high recognition of the movie ‘Familiar Parasitic’ also helped.”
“thank you for your effort.”
Director Kyotaro taps the shoulder of the skinny head of production. Then he turned his gaze back to the village ahead.
“As we have a limited amount of time, we need to be more thorough in our preparations. The production department double-checks the production costs and traffic lines related to this village, and the production department talks to the filming team and carefully checks the props and actor schedules.”
“Yes, Director.”
“All right.”
“So, when should I start the given three days?”
The head of production took out a thin wad of paper from his back pocket. It was a piece of paper with the expected shooting schedule written on it.
“The villagers are saying right away that next week will be difficult. How about January 21st?”
“The 21st?”
Director Kyotaro knocks on the calculator. It wasn’t bad. After all, director Kyotaro was busy with other things this week anyway. Director Kyotaro made a decision soon after.
“Then, make a decision with the village on the 21st.”
directed to the production manager.
“The actors are told that they will gather the day before, on the 20th, because they will be rehearsing that day.”
The next morning on the 8th. korea.
The shouts of the staff resonate at the filming location of ‘The Island of the Missing’, which includes Kang Woo-jin. For some reason, I am overflowing with energy today.
“Cut, okay. Let’s go back to the figure bust.”
“Character Bust Standby!!”
The current Woojin’s makeup was a bit different from usual. Bulletproof helmets and bloody military uniforms are the same.
“But doesn’t Woojin’s beard suit you well?”
“Recognized. I was surprised that it was better than I thought.”
“But still, Woojin-sshi is the best at being cold-looking.”
A beard appeared on his face. Kang Woo-jin, who continued filming calmly, was awkward with his beard.
‘It’s not very good, doesn’t it look like a homeless person?’
It’s not soggy, it’s a rough feeling. At the request of director Kwon Ki-taek, some were grown without shaving, and the power of makeup was added.
why?
In the scenario, Corporal Jin Seon-cheol escapes into the mountains and disappears. This was after Lieutenant Choi Yoo-tae witnessed one of the soldiers fall from the school roof. And now, a cut that suddenly reappears after some time has passed.
“High-action.”
Woojin’s co-star was Hayura. They are attacked by villagers from the ‘disappearing island’. Surprisingly, it was Corporal Jin Seon-cheol who had disappeared.
“Cut. Yura-ssi and Woo-jin’s appearance will shock you more radically.”
“Yes, Director.”
One cut took a very long time. Cozy director Kwon Ki-taek in front of the monitor, about 100 staff members, actors who came out to watch because they were waiting, and their teams.
“·······”
“·······”
All of them had very hard expressions. The air in the filming set is also hot. There is such a sensitive atmosphere.
“action.”
How many hours had it passed?
It was only after a lot of directing and changing the camera composition.
“······Cut, okay. This cut is done now.”
Satisfaction rolled from the mouth of master director Kwon Ki-taek. There were only 12 reshoots in total. Soon, Kang Woo-jin, who has grown accustomed to his beard, breathes inwardly.
‘After-finish.’
Sitting on the floor, he reached out his hand to Ha Yu-ra, who was disheveled due to the setting of the cut. Even she, who doesn’t smile often, smiled this time.
“thank you. And you worked hard, Mr. Woojin.”
“You have worked hard.”
At this time, director Kwon Ki-taek, wearing thick padding, approached the two actors. A smile hung on his lips, and director Kwon Ki-taek, who tapped Kang Woo-jin on the shoulder, spoke softly.
“You’ve worked hard for so long. Thanks to you, I think my greed only grew. Should I say my eyes are high?”
“Thank you, Director.”
“Do you want to rest now?”
Woojin, with a nonchalant face, shook his head.
“no. After doing some domestic schedules, I will go to Japan.”
“Right. Are you a ‘strange stranger’?”
“yes.”
Hayura shook her head as if she was fed up.
“Woojin, aren’t you going to die after that? How tight is the schedule? After you finish a project, you should take a break.”
“It is not very difficult.”
Director Kwon Ki-taek, who smiled, joined again.
“Give my regards to coach Kyotaro, Woojin-san, always take care of your health. I’ll see you again in hindsight.”
In an instant, the staff gathered around them.
“Thank you for your hard work, Woojin!”
“Uh-huh, one by one the actors fall out! How are you sorry?”
“You worked hard, Woojin!!”
“Will you come to our movie crank-up dinner?”
“Fighting for shooting other works too!!!”
A lot of staff cheering and shouting thanks. Kang Woo-jin bowed his head to them who had shared the joys and sorrows of the ‘disappearing island’. It was a poker face, but it was sincere.
“You worked hard, and thank you.”
Kang Woo-jin’s filming in ‘The Island of Disappearance’ has ended.
Meanwhile, in LA, USA.
It was late in the morning in Korea, but it was afternoon in LA. Is it just after work? In Korea or LA, the scenery during work hours was the same. Clogged roads, crowded subways, crowds of people rushing along the roads, and so on. In the meantime, recording was in full swing at a famous broadcasting company’s studio in LA Hollywood.
This picture is also familiar.
The main studio, which becomes the shooting zone, is visible, and numerous cameras and shooting equipment are lined up outside the studio area. In between, the foreign staff members are making a concentrated expression.
What they were filming with great care was a talk show.
‘Jamie Show’ is called one of the top 3 talk shows in the US. The main host, Jamie, is also a well-known broadcaster in Korea. The filming composition feels like the moderator, Jamie, is sitting at a gothic desk, and the guest who will be giving the talk is seated on a luxurious sofa in front of the desk. Right now, a top blonde Hollywood actress was sitting on the sofa.
Soon, the slightly chubby Jamie called the blonde woman by her name in English.
“Haha, Miley. Shall we change the subject this time? Did you go to Korea last time?”
The guest was Miley Cara wearing tight knit and jeans. Because she was filming, her characteristic cold side was not visible.
“That’s right, I went here to promote a movie like a talk show.”
“How was Korea?”
“It was fantastic.”
“Is this your first time?”
Miley Cara changed the direction of her twisted legs in response to a question.
“yes. It was my first time, but there were a lot of things that really impressed me.”
“Ohh- I was thinking of going to Korea this year, so I had been making plans since last year. What impressed you? Food too?”
“Um- no, the most impressive thing was the actors.”
“Aha, a Korean actor! There are many Korean actors who are well known in Hollywood. I also like K-drama. By the way, who is the Korean actor?”
Kara, who changed the direction of her braided legs, responded with a small smile.
“Kang Woo-jin, he really looks like an alien.”
At this point, Kang Woo-jin and the team were walking to the outdoor parking lot on the set of ‘The Island of Disappearance’.
Moment.
‘ah.’
Woojin, who paused slightly with a heavy expression, dug his ears casually.
‘Tickle. What, who is talking about me?’
