I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 44

Extrude (2)
Kang Woo-jin in subspace rubbed his chin while looking at the white square of ‘The Island of the Missing’.
“Even if it’s a D grade. Why is this so incomplete?”
If you think about it so far, there was only one thing with low perfection.
“That side script.”
A few pages of side-by-side script when I first encountered sub space. The side script was a few pages taken from the existing script, so if you say that the level of completion was low, director Kwon Ki-taek’s scenario was the opposite of the side script. Kang Woo-jin, who doesn’t understand a little bit.
“what. Did you just write it? Sup- no.”
Woojin, who was talking to himself, shook his head. There is no way to proceed with casting actors when the scenario is unfinished. Since he had no knowledge of the entertainment industry, Woojin also studied in his spare time.
‘Actor casting is pre-production? They say they do it from the middle of it.’
Actually, the actors read the completed scenario and decide to appear. Well, it is possible to proceed through personal connections, but that was rare. No matter how close your relationship is, business is cold.
There.
‘Didn’t that warm-hearted director say he had already sent scenarios to other actors?’
Director Kwon Ki-taek said that he had already handed over the scenario to several actors. If so, it is correct to say that the ‘Island of the Missing’ scenario has been completed. However, the sub-space was evaluated as low in completion. Also grade it.
‘I feel like it’s the timing to find an actor… I’m a little unknown, so I’ll give you a small role, right? It must have been that the opportunity came because I like acting. But even if he’s just a great master, this is a bit cocky.’
Kang Woo-jin was worried. Director Kwon Ki-taek, who is said to be a master, personally came and contacted me for unknown reasons. Kang Woo-jin was also slightly moved by that sincerity.
However, the grade is low, but the perfection is a bit low.
Director Woo Hyeon-goo’s was F-grade, but the quality was high. At this moment, Kang Woo-jin’s weight was purely in the direction of refusal. Well, for once this is the case.
-Sue.
After properly organizing his thoughts, Woojin raised his head again and focused his gaze on the white square.
-[3/Scenario (Title: Missing Island), Class D]
The title is ‘The Missing Island’. Even to Woojin, who didn’t enjoy the content, it doesn’t seem like a calm story. Feels like a thriller or action. Soon, Kang Woo-jin selected the white square and looked through the roles that could be read.
“Lieutenant, sergeant, sergeant-”
There are words attached to the role that smell like military. Is this a war movie? No, I wasn’t sure. It’s not all war movies with soldiers. But one thing is certain.
“Is there going to be a gun or something that kills and kills?”
In terms of feeling, if it’s bad, they’ll shoot, and even if they’re weak, there’s going to be a lot of fighting. When reading this scenario, Woo-jin falls right in the middle of the bloody battle. Kang Woo-jin was a bit scared.
right?
I’ve seen guns often in the military, so it’s not unfamiliar, but I’ve never experienced a war or bloody battle. I don’t know if it’s training.
“I really go through all sorts of things, but it doesn’t matter if I don’t do this movie.”
Anyway, it was Kang Woo-jin who was determined to receive any script or scenario in the future. Then all of a sudden
“Still, is it a bit rude about a nuclear fall or a disaster?”
Woojin, who was delusional, scratched his head a little and decided to get out of the subspace.
“Exit.”
He chanted into the void. His vision, which had been endlessly dark, suddenly changed to the meeting room. Director Kwon Ki-taek is still standing right in front of him. that he
“Mr. Woojin?”
Looking at Kang Woo-jin, he tilted his head.
“What’s wrong? Are you okay?”
Woojin quickly regained his poker face.
“Yes, it is fine.”
“Okay, then I’m glad. After receiving the scenario, please pause for a moment. I already didn’t like it.”
Oh, that’s pretty much the correct answer. The only thing that stopped him was the time difference that occurred when he entered the sub-space, but Kang Woo-jin actually didn’t like this scenario.
but.
‘First of all, I need to match the rhythm.’
It is difficult to say with a direct pitch, as in the case of director Woo Hyeon-goo. Master director Kwon Ki-taek is right in front of you, and that nobleman comes to visit you, so you have to be polite.
Behind everyone sat at a U-shaped desk.
Director Kwon Ki-taek and the staff at the film company sat side by side, with Kang Woo-jin and Choi Seong-gun with a ponytail. As soon as Woojin sat down, he turned over the first chapter of the scenario for ‘The Island of the Missing’. It wasn’t acting, it was because I was really curious.
If I read it, I wonder if there is a reason for the low level of completion.
At that time, director Kwon Ki-taek across from me smiled kindly.
“Just take a quick look and smell the work. I don’t know if I like it or not.”
Choi Seong-gun, who had been watching the meeting room from earlier, got involved.
“Director. That- If Woojin says he likes the wind, can I think about the next thing?”
Director Kwon Ki-taek replied softly as if it were natural.
“Of course. I caution that it is good for an actor as long as he is good at acting, and issues such as director Woo Hyeon-goo are completely irrelevant. If I hadn’t thought of Woo-jin and what’s next, I wouldn’t visit the site that many times.”
It was Choi Seong-gun who pretended to be calm even though he called for joy inside, and director Kwon Ki-taek’s gaze reached the cynical Kang Woo-jin.
“Well, that’s true, but if the actor likes the smell of the scenario, the next thing will be.”
Moment.
-Sue.
From director Kwon Ki-taek to Choi Seong-gun and all the staff at the film company, all eyes were on Kang Woo-jin. Woojin was silently looking down at the scenario. One sheet, two sheets. I had already passed 15 scenarios.
Looking at the solemn expression, anyone could see that it was serious.
At this, director Kwon Ki-taek across the street laughed interestingly.
‘Indeed, no matter who is in front of you, no matter what the situation, you do what you do without wavering. For some reason, the answer has already come out?’
However, Kang Woo-jin was not obvious, but his doubts were growing.
‘I don’t know. Yeah, I don’t know. I don’t know why it’s less complete the more I look at it? Where is the lowest, this.’
I didn’t understand at all. In what part do you think the level of completion is low? The ‘Island of Disappearance’ that Woojin was reading had no particular corners. Nothing to be a problem. Then Woojin sighed inwardly.
‘W-what do you know just because I see it?’
No matter how many times I’ve seen the script and scenario. It was not at the level of judging by trivial bravado. But I’m a bit hesitant to just skip it.
Oh I don’t know, just ask me something.
Kang Woo-jin, who was calmly looking down at the scenario, raised his gaze. Director Kwon Ki-taek and film company employees are still keeping an eye on Woo-jin. Among them, Woojin gave a slightly cold voice to director Kwon Ki-taek.
“Director. Excuse me.”
“Yes, yes. Please speak comfortably.”
“Are you sure this scenario will be your next film?”
At the same time, the eyes of the employees at the film company widened slightly, and director Kwon Ki-taek’s face was filled with interest.
“Can I ask why you are asking that question?”
“I’m a little puzzled. It’s complete, but I feel like I’m pretending.”
“… are you pretending to be finished?”
“sorry. He told me to speak comfortably.”
Around the time Kang Woo-jin spit out a polite apology, the staff of the film company started whispering. Of course, Choi Seong-gun looked at Woo-jin in the seat next to him with shocked eyes. Because something else happened.
in the middle
“Have you come to that conclusion after only seeing ten scenarios? Even by feeling.”
Director Kwon Ki-taek calmly recited. For a moment, Kang Woo-jin was a little scared inside. did i make a mistake on this? However, the firm expression did not change.
“sorry.”
this moment.
“Haha, is it really that great?”
Director Kwon Ki-taek suddenly laughed.
“Honestly, it was a long game. It seems that what PD Song said was true.”
“···yes?”
“Still, I didn’t expect that the instinct to see that work would come out in just a few pages.”
What is it, what are you talking about, that warm-hearted man? When Woojin threw a question mark into himself, director Kwon Ki-taek’s smile deepened.
“That is absurd. That’s right, it’s a scenario pretending to be complete.”
Then he gestured to the employee at the film company next to him. Soon, a film company employee pulled out another wad of paper from the bottom. Director Kwon Ki-taek, who received it, pushed it to Kang Woo-jin.
“Then read this one.”
an hour later.
Kang Woo-jin and Choi Seong-gun were not in the meeting room. However, director Kwon Ki-taek and the staff of the film company still remain. The production PD, who was tidying up at that point, carefully asked director Kwon Ki-taek, who was looking down on the scenario.
“Director. May I ask why you showed Woo-jin the first draft of the scenario before editing?”
“hmm?”
“The reason why you did some kind of test…”
Director Kwon Ki-taek, who met his gaze, looked down the scenario again. It was a ‘scenario pretending to be complete’ that Kang Woo-jin said.
“I have no intention of auditioning.”
“······yes??”
“Kang Woo-jin. That friend will join me without an audition. Oh, of course, my scenario must come first for that friend.”
For a moment, all the staff at the film company stopped moving. All eyes are the same. A master who only lined up top actors in the division said something like that? of the like.
What surprised me the most was the production PD.
“Ah, whatever. Aren’t you an actor who doesn’t even have the skills to do this yet? I’m not questioning your skills… but shouldn’t you match the tone of your cast?”
“It was a test that assumed all of those things. Of course, I was also curious.”
“That, what is that?”
At this point, director Kwon Ki-taek crossed his arms and recalled the indifferent Kang Woo-jin he had just seen.
“I didn’t look happy.”
“yes?”
“Now, while Saeng Moo-myeong, who has entered two works, kept his cool at this situation, I, who was in front of me, didn’t care and watched the scenario for a longer time. Even without flattery, he clearly pointed out the problems in the scenario.”
“That was kind of surprising. Even if it was a scenario before revision, it would be hard for ordinary actors to notice.”
“Looking at his English skills, it seems certain that he was overseas, and he said he had been studying acting on his own for quite a while. I still don’t understand the self-taught part of her, to be honest. Still, if self-study is right, you must have seen an enormous amount of scripts or scenarios. ”
“hmm.”
“I couldn’t have acquired such a keen sense otherwise. I can understand what PD Song said about different star qualities. Both as an actor and as a human being, it appeals to me.”
The production PD, who was looking at the laughing director Kwon Ki-taek, cleared his throat and asked again.
“Then, what kind of role do you think of Kang Woo-jin? The blueprint for the supporting role has already been decided. Do you watch semi-supporting or minor roles?”
Director Kwon Ki-taek stood up and shook his head.
“no. I just changed my mind.”
I answered softly.
“I want to give you a lead role.”
However, production PDs and film company employees who heard the answer were startled.
“······yes?!! Lord, starring! Director! If you are the lead, what kind of role!!”
Director Kwon Ki-taek, who brushed his chin, was calm.
“Villain.”
A few days later in the morning, at a university in Seoul.
A pretty-looking woman has just left the dormitory. She was tall, too, with moderately long brown hair and a hat. She looked about 168. Maybe that’s why the baseball jumper she wore looked pretty good too.
Then she stopped walking down the street and called somewhere.
“······madam.”
But the opponent did not receive it. The woman who spit out the other person’s name.
“Kang Woo-jin, you damn bastard.”
Suddenly, Kang Woo-jin appeared. why? Because she was Kang Woo-jin’s younger sister, Kang Hyeon-ah.
“Why aren’t you answering the phone?”
Hyeonah Kang grumbled. Originally, it was how many times a year I would call. For Kang Woo-jin and Kang Hyun-ah, no news was good news. However, because of her mother’s request, she had no choice but to do it. Anyway, Hyeonah Kang moved her steps again and called her mother.
mom got it
“Oh, what is your brother saying?”
“Don’t take it. No, I just want my mom to call me? You don’t even answer your mother’s phone?”
“Take it. But wouldn’t you guys be a little more honest with each other?”
“Honestly, it’s bullshit. busy swearing at each other No, but is he really learning something?”
“It’s him. Cut your pocket money?”
“…are you sure your brother is an actor, mother?”
“Because you said so.”
Hyeonah Kang, who stopped walking again, let out an absurd laugh.
“I must be crazy. What kind of actor are you doing at the age of 27… Didn’t your mother stop that? Hasn’t it already been over a month?”
“Are you going to tell me not to do it?”
“no! mom! Actor You say that’s really hard? Aspirants enter trainees before they turn 20, huh? It doesn’t work that way! Same with idols. him No, oppa, will your life be ruined?”
“…so you should contact me and take a look at the dynamics. Understand? Mom is driving. Hang up.”
“Oh, Mom!”
– Knock.
Calls that drop without mercy. Soon, Hyeonah Kang shook her head, recalling her older brother’s madness.
“It turned around, what kind of actor are you suddenly doing?”
At this time.
“Hyun-a!”
Someone from behind called Kang Hyeon-ah. She turned around and she was the same and her friends were approaching. All three were women. For your reference, Kang Hyeon-a went to the Department of Early Childhood Education.
Whatever it is.
“What are you saying to yourself? actor?”
Kang Hyeon-a sighed for a long time at her friend’s question.
“No- Ha, blood relatives say that they are actors.”
“uh? Sincerity? Hyuna, did you have a brother?”
“no. brother.”
“omg! do you have a brother Handsome? Look at the picture.”
“Are you crazy? Why do I keep his picture on my phone?”
“Then talk about it!”
My friends immediately warmed up. If you were an actor, you would be good-looking, right? Words like that came and went. Unfortunately, Woojin’s talk profile was empty. Friends immediately shouted SNS, but Kang Hyun-ah was calm.
“Ah, he doesn’t do social media, he.”
“Dog Curious! What do you look like, Brother?”
“It just looks like blood.”
Kang Hyeon-ah, who answered appropriately, sent a text message to Kang Woo-jin.
– You’re saying you’re an actor, right?
The funny thing is that Kang Woo-jin, who doesn’t even pick up the phone, responded pretty quickly.
-Damn it: ㅇㅇ Goo.
– Oh! My mom keeps calling me. What are you doing with that gura?
-Damn: I do it on my own.
Kang Hyeon-ah, who was looking at the answer to the talk, clicked her tongue.
“Tsk. Being an actor seems to be the norm.”
Kang Hyun-ah and her friends chatted with Kang Woo-jin until they arrived at the lecture hall. The topics of conversation were varied. From an older brother to an actor, from an actor to a well-respected top actor.
Right now, there was talk of a drama starring top actors.
“Seeing the list of new dramas in May?”
“ah! I want to see Go Man-wook come out. The MBS one.”
“What was it then, May? The drama lineup was crazy. I want to see TVM. The content seems to be completely galk galk.”
“That’s my second choice too, because Kwak So-ra’s body is completely my one pick.”
“Ah, but are you going to do all of that on Netflix? Evande if you don’t.”
“Isn’t there a separate OTT for TVM?”
Kang Hyeon-ah, who had just sent a text message to Kang Woo-jin, exclaimed.
“Oh what are you talking about? You should definitely watch the great Ryu Jung-min!”
At that time, Kang Woo-jin’s van was on the move.
Kang Woo-jin, who had just lightly chewed on his sister’s talk, was on his way to the B-team filming set of ‘Profiler Hanryang’. That Woojin is now.
“·······”
He was reading the scenario with a serious expression.
– Palak.
Of course, it was director Kwon Ki-taek’s ‘Disappearing Island’. A real finished scenario, not pretended to be finished. I was busy during filming, but I was reading in my spare time. 70% of the scenario has already been read. very funny look. No, it actually was. It’s hard to see from the firm expression, but inside, he spit out admiration.
‘Oh- Mr. Wow. is this some kind of monster? Do monsters appear? I have a sense of urgency.’
Here, Kang Woo-jin recalled the changed grade of ‘The Island of Missing’ that he saw in subspace.
-[3/Scenario (Title: Missing Island), Grade A+]
-[*This is a highly complete movie scenario. 100% reading is possible.]
What used to be a D has been upgraded to an A+.
‘Looking at it like this, it definitely seems different from the previous one. How can I say, the tension is different?’
And Woojin’s role stood out from the beginning of the scenario.
‘But what is he? A double personality?’
It would be difficult to take on the lead role in terms of quantity, but as a pure reader, it was a fun character.
‘Are you a villain? He’s confused whether he’s a good guy or a bad guy.’
At this time.
– Woo-woo.
Kang Woo-jin’s cell phone spat out a short vibration. Is it blood again? Woojin, who wants to, narrows her brow and picks up her cell phone. But the opponent is not her sister.
-Director Shin Dong-chun: Mr. Woojin, it looks like he’s filming, so send me a message first.
It was director Shin Dong-chun’s talk.
-Director Shin Dong-chun: I just received a separate call. It was selected as one of the 40 works of the Heungsinso, the final round.
Kang Woo-jin’s appearance at the ‘Mise-en-scène Short Film Festival’ has been confirmed.
