I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 217
Only Krnovel
Director Ahn Ga-bok’s tone was calm, but the eyes of the ‘leeches’ kiss staff widened.
“Seo, do you really think of Kang Woo-jin as a judge?”
All the staff were clearly agitated. While looking at each other’s faces or staring at director Ahn Ga-bok, who is sitting at the square table.
“Go, Kang Woo-jin as a judge?”
“I don’t care about Shim Han-ho, but Woo-jin is a bit.”
“Are you serious, director?”
“It’s already shocking enough that Woojin is the lead in ‘Leech’, but… No, I know that Kang Woojin’s acting is amazing. But for her, participating in the audition screening is a drawing.”
Most of them are embarrassed or puzzled. Well, it was an understandable reaction. She is Kang Woo-jin, who unexpectedly overturned the domestic entertainment industry, but whatever she was, her career was now in her first year. It was beyond absurd to have such Woojin participate in the audition screening for the actor of ‘Leech’.
On the other hand, director Ahn Ga-bok, arms crossed, only smiles wrinkled.
“Is it that strange?”
When asked again, the kiss staffs rolled their eyes, and the answer was the representative of the film company sitting next to director Ahn Ga-bok.
“Rather than being strange, the meaning could be different. Isn’t it an audition to check the form of a main or supporting actor, not a minor role or a minor role?”
“know.”
“The actors who will be participating are not newcomers. Most of them are top-level or A-level veterans. The fact that Kang Woo-jin judges those actors is…”
“Actor Shim Han-ho should be enough to avoid a lot of noise, right? The participating actors will also admit it. He is a great actor that anyone can recognize.”
“In my opinion, yes.”
“That sounds right. Being a judge should have the power to be acknowledged by everyone. But that’s only when it’s on a grand scale, aside from that, what are the judges’ criteria for my ‘Leech’?”
“That, that.”
“I think the ability to digest in the work and the combination of the two confirmed actors are important. Then, is there any problem even if Woojin-goon is sitting in the judges’ seat? Didn’t that friend win the bid for the lead role earlier than actor Shim Shim-ho?”
“·······”
The head of the film company kept his mouth shut. The same goes for kiss tabs. However, more than half of the faces were still difficult to understand. At this, director Ahn Ga-bok, who was scratching his short white hair, let out a long sigh like an old man.
“Hu- I was the only one risking my life. Everyone still hasn’t let go of the pretense. Everyone must have seen me go all the way to Da Nang, Vietnam to cast Jin Woo. Why do you think he did that?”
“that···”
“It’s the beginning, the beginning. I wanted to throw away the value of the name and the hardened gaze that followed me, and show you my first heart in the industry. If not, how do you survive in this market that changes every day? It’s the 100th, the 100th. If we don’t break stereotypes even by force, won’t the movie we saw eventually be made?”
A bitter silence fell over everyone. Either that or not, coach Anga Bok opened his mouth again.
“Is there anyone who doesn’t know that these brilliant top actors have a lot of experience? no everyone knows But why would I bother going through the audition? It’s not that I doubt the acting skills of the actors. As much as the synchro rate of the cast, this ‘leech’ requires their desperate survival.”
“·······”
In other words, talking about the mindset of the actors who will participate.
“I already lit the wick. However, it burns fast. It means that the shooting schedule is several times tighter than usual. The space to explode is right in front of your nose. We have to be faster than that. If no one puts their lives on the line, we can’t do it properly. In the meantime, where is the time to take care of the condescension or the mental shake?”
Among the silent keystaff, the head of the film company bowed slightly.
“I’m sorry, Director. My thoughts were short.”
“You and me and everyone, we shorten our thoughts and don’t even have time to correct them. I’ll be honest. In this actor selection, I think an actor who will throw away his pride without hesitation is 100 times better than an actor with slightly better acting skills. You have to be an actor to cling to desperately.”
It means that they want a person who has the pure desire of an actor regardless of the ransom and image.
“In a word, there is no need for Woojin-gun to learn to bounce his guts just by sitting in the judges’ seat.”
close to the gutter If you show your pride from the beginning or if you have a meaningless career fight, an accident will happen on the job someday. Director Ahn Ga-bok, who has already entered his 100th film, has seen such situations too many times.
It’s not difficult to organize, but even that time is a waste.
At least, that’s what director Ahn Ga-bok thought.
“What more. I didn’t say I would have Woojin as a judge. Of course, I have no intention of joking if he doesn’t want to. But if he says thank you.”
Director Ahn Ga-bok recited to everyone.
“Even if you sit in the judges’ seat without saying anything, the aura will be enough.”
At this time, towards Cheongdam-dong.
late morning. In front of the huge hotel, there were dozens of reporters on the red carpet and around it. At the end of the carpet, there is also a photo zone with logos of luxury brands.
It was because a party of a famous luxury brand was currently in progress at this hotel. It was a regular event every New Year.
-Pabababababak!
There were quite a few celebrities and influencers receiving the camera flashes. Upon arrival, they slowly walked through the red carpet, posed in the photo zone, and after a while, conducted brief interviews with dozens of reporters.
“Mr. Pearl!! Today’s outfit is unconventional!!”
“is it so??”
Because he was so hectic, a lot of guards and party staff were distributed. Well, fortunately, the interviews with each celebrity or influencer weren’t too long.
It was at this time.
“Kang Woo-jin is here!”
“Mr. Woojin!!”
Among the dozens of reporters, those distributed at the end called out to the actor who had just arrived. Looking back, Kang Woo-jin, dressed in a luxury suit and with his hair neatly swept back, was entering. I attended because this luxury brand sponsored a tuxedo for Woojin at the end of the year.
When he appeared, the camera shutter sounds of the reporters became several times faster.
“Mr. Woojin!! Please look at this!!”
Unlike the excited reporters, Kang Woo-jin maintained a poker face.
“·······”
I walked slowly to the photo zone. After that, Kang Woo-jin, who went to the photo zone with logos, simply raised his hand to dozens of reporters. There were no specific comments. But Woo-jin was suffering a little on the inside.
‘Uh- Mr. Flash hurts my eyes so much.’
After the short and bold photo time, reporters flooded the audience with questions.
“Soon, you will be leaving for Japan, how do you feel!!”
Then, among the dozens of reporters, some of them started buzzing, and a reporter in a hat standing in the middle suddenly spat out a question out of the blue.
“Did you keep in touch with Miley Cara??!!”
“Are you close with Kara? Even in private?”
Kang Woo-jin tilted his head inwardly while remaining indifferent.
‘What? Why are you suddenly bringing up Miley Cara?’
Reporters who had no way of knowing this gradually increased the frequency of Kara’s questions.
“Was Miley Cara’s mention of Woojin on ‘Jamie Show’ premeditated?!”
“In the ‘Jamie Show,’ Woojin was briefly mentioned! Did you see it???”
“How do you feel when Kara calls you an alien!!”
“Please say something about the handling of Woojin in some foreign media!!!”
Because the Kara episode of ‘Jamie Show’ is well known in Korea.
after.
There were many articles on the American talk show ‘Jamie Show’ on the Internet. It was because the global superstar Miley Cara, who appeared, mentioned Kang Woo-jin.
『[Issue Pic] Miley Cara who appeared in ‘Jamie Show’ mentioned ‘Kang Woo-jin, how close are you?』
『’Miley Cara’, “Kang Woo-jin is an alien” on the popular American talk show ‘Jamie Show’]
『World-class superstar ‘Miley Cara’ and ‘Kang Woo-jin Bukkae’ appeared only on the channel, and then an American talk show praised Kang Woo-jin!』
Some foreign media outlets in the US have already reported this news, and the edited version of Kang Woo-jin’s mention in ‘Jamie Show’ is being spread on You Tube.
『[Star Talk] Seeing Kang Woo-jin’s appearance in ‘Jamie Show’…even his 8 crowns were on the air』
In the first place, when Miley Kara was in Korea, there was an issue in which only the ‘Kang Woo-jin Bukkae’ channel appeared on You Tube, so a lot of chirashi was mass-produced. It was no small feat for a Korean actor who had not yet stepped into Hollywood to be introduced to ‘Jamie Show’. Even Miley Kara explained about Woojin as if they were close.
Although the actual airing was not very long, the domestic media reacted violently.
『Is Hollywood’s top actor ‘Miley Cara’ a signal? Rumors of Kang Woo-jin entering Hollywood
There is no excitement like this.
In the meantime, Kang Woo-jin’s company, bw Enter, was announcing something other than Miley Kara.
If it’s good news, it’s good news.
『[‘Kang Woo-jin’, ‘Hong Hye-yeon’ agency bw enter, did you make some money? Moving to a bigger company
At the same time, it carried out a previously scheduled move. In fact, it didn’t take too long because I had been preparing little by little from a few days ago. The new bw entertainment was in the same Samseong-dong, but several times larger. It uses two floors and is much wider than before. The number of employees doubled and new teams were created.
Of course, the back of a Japanese conglomerate.
This was possible because Kashihi Group Chairman Hideki Yoshimura’s investment was confirmed. The investment case itself was kept private, and it was not clearly known to the outside world because it was the personal power of Chairman Hideki in the first place. However, it was already a confirmed matter that Chairman Hideki was behind bw Enter.
Were you on the same boat?
Anyway, bw Enter moved openly at the same time as the company expanded. The bowl got bigger, but the content to be put in it also had to be added. The most urgent thing is to increase the number of artists other than Kang Woo-jin and Hong Hye-yeon.
The first actress bw Enter brought in was Lee Hanna, one of the top actresses.
『[Exclusive] ‘Lee Hanna’, who was at GGO Enter, transferred to bw Enter confirmed!』
Her bw enter, which was at GGO Enter in the past, was planned. Because there was already an appointment between Choi Seong-gun and Lee Hanna at the time Seo Seo-seop was removed. Like this, bw Enter began to collect actors very aggressively, and many domestic actors were excited, perhaps because of the aftermath of Kang Woo-jin and Hong Hye-yeon.
『[Enter+] Following Kang Woo-jin, can we find an ultra-level rookie? Acceleration of bw entertainment business confirmation』
Like Woojin Kang, bw Enter was also growing in size.
A few days later, on the 17th. Gimpo International Airport.
In the morning, a large crowd gathers near the entrance to the airport. Even the clothes they wear are different. Long padded or short padded or thick jacket. Originally, it was an airport where quite a few people came in and out, but the crowd you see now seemed like a group gathered for some kind of event.
What is unusual is that each of the crowds held a cannon-like camera in their hands.
The reason was simple.
Because they are all journalists. Well, it wasn’t such an unusual sight. It is very common to see reporters flocking to the airport. Even if only celebrities or idols show up, reporters are cohesive.
In addition, to the male and female onlookers surrounding the reporter.
“Wow- I’m seeing the real thing for the first time.”
“It’s good, it’s good.”
“Aww!! brother!! That ‘strong heart’!!”
However, the excitement of reporters today is strong.
The person surrounded by such reporters was none other than Kang Woo-jin. Unlike the crowd of reporters and onlookers, his face was calm in a black duffle coat, and behind Woojin was Choi Sung-gun, who was recently expanding his business, and dozens of bw entertainment employees.
Today Kang Woo-jin is leaving for Japan for ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’.
Originally scheduled to depart on the 18th, it was pushed back to the 17th to distribute various small schedules. That’s why Kang Woo-jin was spending a brief time with reporters. Whether in Korea or Japan, ‘strangeness’ is a very noisy subject.
Passing meetings with reporters too much is not good for the image.
Soon, Kang Woo-jin, who was exchanging something with Choi Seong-gun in the back.
-Sue.
He raised a low voice towards the crowd of reporters.
“Thank you, I will take the question.”
At the same time, dozens of reporters all raised their hands while pressing the camera shutter. Woojin pointed to one of the female reporters.
The female reporter immediately spat out a prepared question.
“A few days ago, Miley Cara mentioned Woojin on ‘Jamie Show’. Are you two close personally?”
“no. Not friendly.”
“You covered Woojin in foreign media, are you preparing anything for Hollywood?”
“Currently none.”
Woojin, who finished answering appropriately, pointed to another reporter who raised his hand. The male reporter raised his glasses and shouted.
“I thought Kang Woo-jin’s filming in ‘The Island of Disappearance’ was over! When is the ‘Island of the Missing’ crank-up!”
“That I don’t know either. I know that you are working hard even now.”
Then the next question.
“You worked as an advertising model for the Japanese conglomerate ‘Kashihi Group’! When will the shooting be?!”
“I think it will be accurate only after we have a meeting.”
“Have you not been contacted by other Japanese companies since you took over as an advertising model?”
“Not yet.”
After several questions came and went, Choi Seong-gun, who checked the time, informed the reporters.
“Sorry, I have time for a flight. Just a few more questions and I’ll be done.”
The question that followed was related to ‘strangeness’.
“You are the first Korean actor to participate in a live-action adaptation of Akari Takikawa’s original work as a lead role! How are you feeling?”
mood? Honestly, just like that. Woojin moderated his words.
“There is nothing to be shaken about. It is no different from other works.”
“Well, then! You are alone as a Korean actor in the work of a Japanese master director, right? Any pressure?”
“Yes, nothing in particular.”
Seong-gun Choi gestured for the last question. The reporter Kang Woo-jin chose was a woman wearing a hat.
“Mr. Woojin declared at the Blue Dragon Film Festival, ‘This year I am a newcomer, but next year I will receive the Best Actor Award’! What are your thoughts on filming in ‘Unfamiliar Gisaeng’, where there are only Japanese actors?”
It seems that he has brought the Blue Dragon Film Festival, but Woojin, with a nonchalant face, answered indifferently.
“It is the same mindset as at the Blue Dragon Film Festival. Whoever it is, wherever it is, it doesn’t make much of a difference to me.”
As soon as Kang Woo-jin’s answer was over, Choi Seong-gun moved. Missing the seat with Woojin. Dozens of bw enter staff followed. Kang Woo-jin, entering the airport at this point, was internally satisfied with the last answer.
‘Yeah, that’s enough to be polite. Was it moderately strong? It wasn’t bad.’
Some of the reporters who took pictures of Woojin’s back as he entered the airport.
“Ugh! That’s right, Kang Woo-jin wrote down the last sentence and sent it!”
I was already hitting the phone on the desk.
“Except for one Toshi, ‘It’s the same mindset as at the Blue Dragon Film Festival. Whoever it is, wherever it is, it doesn’t make much of a difference to me.’”
The atmosphere quickly became contagious.
“No, what do you mean!! It must mean going to shoot ‘Familiar Parasitic’ and crushing Japanese actors!”
“Declare war like a blue dragon! no! War Declaration! I will take Japanese actors with their acting!!”
It was a bonus that it was a bit severely erroneous.
