“Looking at Jung-min’s form…?”
When PD Song Man-woo, who has a beard, asked, director Kwon Ki-taek over the phone answered with a smile.
“that’s right. I could just ask PD Song, but I’m the type of person who can understand things better when I see him in person.”
“You mean your acting quality, right?”
“Well, that is correct. I’m not just going to look at the acting, but I’m going to look at the lines and the atmosphere. It’s been quite a while since I worked with Ryu Jung-min.”
It was not uncommon for directors to come out of the set to find out about the actors’ current skills. Sometimes there are even big players who are as good as director Kwon Ki-taek. However, PD Song Man-woo was a bit curious about seeing top actor Ryu Jung-min.
‘I don’t think there’s a need to check if I’m at Ryu Jung-min’s level.’
Because his acting ability has already been proven through numerous works and careers. Sometimes the actors feel bad about it. That’s why top actors usually have their caddies (casting directors) secretly check their forms. Nonetheless, director Kwon Ki-taek goes directly.
Here, PD Song Man-woo vaguely felt the personality of director Kwon Ki-taek.
‘He’s meticulous, he’s stubborn. More than anything else, the type that values an actor’s skills more than his name.’
this moment.
‘ah.’
Kang Woo-jin’s face flashed in PD Song Man-woo’s mind. He even smiled a little.
‘Then I wouldn’t be able to ignore that strange monster.’
A large shop in Cheongdam-dong again, 3rd floor
Kang Woo-jin reflected in the mirror was a completely different person. upgraded to that extent. Soon, Woojin let out an exclamation.
Inside, of course.
‘Wah- that’s crazy, really. How can people change like this?? Aren’t you coming to the shop?’
At this time, the designer with yellow hair touched Woojin’s hair and started explaining.
“Mr. Woojin is thick. The head is also pretty, so any style will be fine. Today, they told me to take a profile picture, so I went clean.”
However, it was Kang Woo-jin who was all about the hair salon-only line, “Trim it out.” Her explanations went in one ear and leaked out the other.
At times like this, being cynical is best.
“Yes, that’s good.”
“The sides are a bit ambiguous, so I just pressed it down with a perm, and I just need to touch the bangs and top hair roughly like this? If you’re bored, here it is. Got it?”
“understand.”
It wasn’t. I didn’t understand at all. Either way, the designer focused on Woojin’s voice.
“Oh my, let’s be cynical so that the tone of a newcomer’s voice is like that?”
No, it’s just a concept. Kang Woo-jin checked his finished self in the mirror again. Her hair was usually neat and short, with her bangs slightly raised, showing her forehead.
‘I thought a magazine model had hair like this.’
Looking closely, Kang Woo-jin laughed inwardly as if he wasn’t too bad, and the designer unwrapped the cloth that Woo-jin was wrapped around.
“I like the original version of Woojin’s face, so even a slight change can change my image drastically.
Woojin was momentarily tired, but since there are a lot of eyes here, I had to show a professional side.
“please.”
The designer who was packing some makeup cosmetics in the back suddenly crossed his hands.
“Ah, and Choi Dae-pyo gave me to try this on too.”
She handed Kang Woo-jin something. It was a suit cover with a luxury logo on it.
“A suit, right? You said you were taking a profile picture. Oh, and shoes too.”
Woojin, who was looking at the suit cover and shoe box placed next to the chair, looked around. The ponytail representative was not visible. Then, the designer approached again and smiled.
“Choi Choi will be in the lobby on the first floor. I’ll look at the color of the suit. I need to match my skin tone.”
The yellow-haired designer was a proper professional. She took care of it and proceeded with the work. Woojin was fine just sitting there. Anyway, the designer took a quick look at the suit inside the cover and nodded.
“Um-navy. the suit is pretty Okay, shall we begin?”
About 40 minutes later, the first floor lobby of the shop.
The lobby on the first floor was also spacious, probably because it was a large shop in Cheongdam-dong. There are a lot of staff working there. On one side of the lobby, there was a waiting room with white sofas, and Choi Seong-gun with ponytails could be seen here.
– Palak.
Choi Seong-gun is reading a magazine with his legs crossed. What’s interesting here is
“Oh, oppa, why did it take so long?”
I don’t know why, but there is Hong Hye-yeon on the sofa across from Seong-gun Choi. She put on full makeup and slightly wavy hair at the end of her long hair, as if she had a schedule soon. Choi Seong-gun, who had his eyes on the magazine, gave a rough answer to the whining of Hong Hye-yeon, who stood out for her beauty.
“Are you an amateur? This arrangement is basic, but why are you frowning? When PD Song called me earlier, I thought I was going to go, but why are you rubbing it? If you’re busy, just go.”
“Wow, look at this brother. Are you treating me like cold food just because I got a #2 actor? Am I transferring?”
“Do it, do it. How old is that blackmail? Hoo- I asked Woojin to try on a suit, so it will take a little longer.”
Hong Hye-yeon, snoring, slightly pouted her lips.
“But why not make a suit? Are you saving money already?”
“Ha- that’s terribly annoying. No, I just took a profile picture today, so I brought one in a hurry.”
“Then what happened?”
Hong Hye-yeon, who had been timidly crossing her arms, suddenly changed the subject.
“So that alien species broke director Woo Hyeon-goo?”
“uh. To be honest, I still don’t understand. It makes sense to criticize director Woo Hyeon-goo based on his feelings or senses… It’s okay. Both you and Woojin are geeks. Woojin is several times stronger.”
“what. So anyway i agree Director Woo Hyeon-goo is a bit perverted.”
Hong Hye-yeon, who was chanting, clenched her chin.
‘Looking at the fact that he chose the short film ‘Heungshinso’ after joining a large drama, he must have had a sense of watching his own work. In fact, ‘The Secret Service’ was okay.’
Having seen Kang Woo-jin from the beginning, she even slightly understood. just a little bit
‘It’s realistically impossible to match everything, but it’s still a strong point to be subjective. Well, it’s true that I chose director Woo Hyeon-goo for something like a persimmon, but it’s crazy.’
It was at this time.
-Ding!
The elevator at the end of the lobby opened on the first floor. Standing inside was a man wearing a tight-fitting navy suit.
– Tumble.
He walked slowly through the lobby, making the clear sound of his shoes. Some of the female staff at the shop who passed the men glanced at her. Either that or not, the man looked around the lobby on the first floor.
“ah.”
I found Choi Seong-gun on the sofa and immediately moved to it. Then, the man standing behind the sofa where Hong Hye-yeon was sitting called Choi Seong-gun in a low voice.
“CEO.”
Then, Choi Seong-gun, who was looking down at the magazine, raised his head. A man appeared right there.
“Oh- who is this? Hey, are you killing me? did i say Woojin says your visuals are compliant. Putting some makeup on the suit makes my face live, live.”
The man in the suit was Kang Woo-jin. Woojin’s expression was indifferent, but inside he was laughing.
‘It’s a nice compliment. The designer above said that he was handsome too. Umm- I don’t feel bad.’
In the meantime, Choi Seong-gun, who was getting up from the sofa, raised his thumb.
“It’s just an actor award, an actor award.”
Hong Hye-yeon, who was resting on her chin, turned her head back, and Kang Woo-jin, who was standing behind her, lowered her gaze. Soon, the two met eyes. Woojin’s reaction was quicker.
I was surprised inside.
‘omg? Hyeyeon Hong is there?? K-You look crazy today too.’
Outwardly, it was solemn.
“There you are.”
however.
“·······”
Hong Hye-yeon doesn’t spit out words. She just stares at Kang Woo-jin. A slightly dazed expression. At this time, the female staff who were in charge of guiding Kang Woo-jin for the first time flocked to Woo-jin.
“oh? oh my god!”
“Hair suits you really well, something has been upgraded overall!”
“As expected, you are an actor, you are handsome, but there is something heavy in your taste. Is it because of the atmosphere?”
Sales or lip service may have been included, but it was generally highly praised. Kang Woo-jin felt awkward about that compliment. No, she was very, very embarrassed. But she had to be aloof for the mounted strong.
“Because the designer is good at it.”
Hong Hye-yeon, who had turned around even this time, continued to look up at Kang Woo-jin. she still doesn’t say anything Seeing that, Seong-gun Choi tapped her on the shoulder of Hye-yeon Hong.
“Hey what are you doing?”
Hong Hye-yeon, who suddenly came back to her senses, coughed lightly and suddenly picked up a nearby magazine.
“greatness! Well, better than usual.”
Woojin’s low voice came from behind.
“thank you.”
However, Hong Hye-yeon did not answer, just flirting with the magazine. But she was in a state of high spirits on the inside.
‘What is it, aren’t you okay? I was bruised without even realizing it.’
after.
Time passed recklessly. Of course, Kang Woo-jin felt that way. Somehow, I took all of her profile pictures. At first, Kang Woo-jin’s body was a bit stiff, but since he acted with the mindset of letting go of himself, Woo-jin took his own posture.
That’s how Kang Woo-jin was uploaded to the bw entertainment homepage.
Of course, the external profile was also completed. Currently, I have to try both of them. Even so, Kang Woo-jin was impressed.
‘My profile actually came out.’
Because the texture was different from the resume I wrote for a job. It wasn’t stiff at all, and only Kang Woo-jin’s coolness was expressed.
‘I was sad every time I looked at my resume.’
That alone made Kang Woo-jin satisfied.
Meanwhile, the internet was buzzing with various news. While a lot of publicity was overflowing, there were two themes that stood out and had the most power.
One was ‘a profiler limit’.
『[Issue check] The most anticipated film of the first half of the year, ‘Profiler Hanryang’, first shooting confirmed on the 25th!』
Since the first filming was confirmed recently, the amount of publicity was increased. In addition to promoting the drama, it also took the form of spreading the daily life of top actors through SNS.
The news of director Woo Hyeon-goo’s next film was also hot.
『”There will be a lot of tops in this work”]
As quite a few top actors were mentioned, the film industry press excitedly shot articles. Because of this chaos everywhere, the coming weekend quickly passed and Monday dawned again. The date is the 23rd. In other words, there are two days left until the first shooting of ‘Profiler Hanryang’, which is on the 25th.
Meanwhile, at that time.
Three old men gathered in a high-end Chinese restaurant.
It was around noon, and the three old men gathered in the VIP room were enjoying jajangmyeon and sweet and sour pork. One of them was a familiar face. It was director Woo Hyeon-gu, a maestro with white hair mixed in his eyebrows. Then he picked up a piece of windmill placed in the center of the round table.
-Sue.
I spoke to the two old men sitting in front of me.
“Now that I’m starting a production, this position will be difficult for a while.”
The one who reacted quickly was an old man wearing glasses over his nose. He too was a director. His name is Lee Gil-joo, the director. He was not a master, but he was a director with a solid filmography.
“Haha, yes yes. Articles saying that your work is going to be included are very persistent. Do it in moderation, my friend. Did you already start uploading the set?”
The next to speak was an old man with a fat belly. Directed by Kwon Ki-taek. He was by far the master director, and he was the one who made a sudden phone call to PD Song Man-woo recently.
“I’m preparing too, so I’ll see you next year.”
Director Kwon Ki-taek’s voice was soft. In any case, the three of them seemed to be very close as if they met often. At this time, director Woo Hyeon-gu, who narrowed his forehead, spoke.
“Recently. I had a very embarrassing experience. A nameless guy rejected my audition.”
Director Lee Gil-joo, who was stirring the jajangmyeon, smiled.
“Haha, he’s a savage. Did you pass the audition for the amazing director Woo Hyeon-goo?”
“He’s a guy who ate very cheaply. Where does an unknown person make an offer without courtesy? You should at least come over and talk politely.”
“yes. I heard and saw it. Times have changed and changed, but you still have to keep what you want to protect. Yeah, what’s that unknown guy’s name?”
“Kang Woo-jin. It looks like he’s been preparing to act recently, but if you guys come to the set, just shut the door. A guy with less basics like that shouldn’t be popular even if his acting is okay.”
Director Kwon Ki-taek, who came out of his stomach, asked Woo Hyeon-goo, who was coldly reciting, in a low voice.
“What’s the matter? To be honest, I caution that it’s okay as long as the actor is good at acting.”
Director Woo Hyeon-goo is immediately excited.
“Ugh! You bastard! A guy like that should be trampled on the pasture! The on-site water is muddy!”
“so? Are you meeting fellow directors and slandering Kang Woo-jin? Distribution is small.”
“Hey Kwon Ki-taek. Doesn’t the way you speak sound different?”
As the atmosphere turned violent, manager Lee Gil-ju intervened.
“Let’s go to sleep, let’s calm down and eat. I’m going to go to the bathroom.”
Soon after, coach Lee Gil-joo took his phone and left the VIP room. Soon silence fell in the room. Directors Woo Hyeon-gu and Kwon Ki-taek simply ate in silence.
Has it been like 5 minutes?
Director Lee Gil-ju, who went to the bathroom, returned. What’s strange is that his expression is a bit odd. Should I be in a bit of a hurry? Then, he took the outerwear from the chair.
“Me, over there. Because something urgent happened. I have to go first.”
Director Woo Hyeon-goo tilts his head.
“already? Why are you leaving so quickly?”
“Ah- well, anyway, see you later.”
Director Lee Gil-joo finished his greetings appropriately and then stuck to director Ki-taek Kwon and whispered something in his ear. Director Woo Hyeon-goo, who was not happy with that appearance, immediately frowned.
“What is it, the two of you are whispering.”
Director Lee Gil-joo quickly left the room as if it was nothing. Director Woo Hyeon-goo said to director Kwon Ki-taek with a small crumpled face.
“Huh- What was that friend whispering about? uh?”
At this time.
“Woo Hyun-gu.”
Director Kwon Ki-taek, who was looking down at his phone to see when he took it out, spoke softly.
“I don’t think you care about the name Kang Woo-jin right now.”
Director Woo Hyeon-goo looked at director Kwon Ki-taek across the street and asked dumbfoundedly.
“what?”
“I’m saying it’s not the time to mock others. Because your life is about to be torn apart.”
Then, director Kwon Ki-taek, who came out, pushed the cell phone he was looking at to director Woo Hyeon-goo. Thanks to that, Director Woo Hyeon-goo’s gaze quickly went down to his cell phone. An article was displayed on the phone screen.
『[Exclusive] The ugly bare face of ‘Director Woo Hyeon-goo’ hidden behind the name value of ‘The Master’… His dirty hands exposed by 900,000 YouTubers”
Immediately, director Woo Hyeon-gu’s face crumpled.
“What, what is this!!”
