I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 52
Only Krnovel
About 200 reporters at the press conference for ‘Profiler Hanryang’ move their fingers like crazy. It is because of the declaration without backwardness that writer Park Eun-mi spit out immediately before.
‘That actor will be talked about as the greatest scene stealer of all time. Because he uses acting that no other actor can touch.’
-Pabababababak!
-Pababababababak!
Half the reporters took pictures and the other half tapped on their laptops.
The atmosphere turned very hot. All the reporters’ eyes are shining like hyenas. At this time, PD Song Man-woo, who was sitting at the desk for the first time today and had his beard sorted out, tapped Park Eun-mi on the shoulder in the seat next to him.
“Didn’t you promise something like that?”
Writer Park Eun-mi, who tied her long permed hair, gave a small answer while keeping her eyes on the reporters.
“I don’t know. It became like this while riding the flow.”
“Ah- you did it on purpose. Did you pull the hook? To feed the reporters and eat aggro.”
“What, if that question comes up, shall we do it? That’s what I was thinking. I didn’t know if you would ask me a real question.”
“haha. I think it worked out anyway? Look at those hyena eyes. Are you going to beat up all the silent words?”
Writer Park Eun-mi shrugged.
“Are you dealing with reporters One Day Today? Anyway, what I said goes in 1mm, and they will amplify it several times by adding sauce at will. But it doesn’t matter if it grows several times or dozens of times related to ‘Park’, doesn’t it?”
PD Song Man-woo’s smile deepens as if he admits it.
“yes. It doesn’t matter how big your aggro is, as long as you’re a big substitute. It will definitely be beyond your imagination. That reporter who asked assistant manager Park, should I buy you some food later?”
“Let’s pull the hook a little more clearly while the words are out. Isn’t PD Song’s specialty in raising plates?”
“I am also a player.”
Soon, PD Song Man-woo also gave small words to actors such as Ryu Jung-min and Hong Hye-yeon. Actors who were already familiar with this situation understood the situation at once. In particular, the eyes of Hong Hye-yeon, who wore a long shirt today, shone.
Subsequently, PD Song Man-woo suddenly threw out words to about 200 reporters.
“Hahaha, but please write a little bit about our hidden scene stealer actor, gently. It’s too much of a burden on the actor before he even opens the lid.”
Of course, it was an intentional line. And this line worked well.
“Does PD-nim see that scene-stealer actor as the best of all time?!”
“What do you think of the PD who directed it?!”
Reporters poured out dozens of questions to PD Song Man-woo. Producer Song Man-woo, with his arms crossed, spit out and answered appropriately.
“I don’t know about anything else, but it’s true that it’s the best acting ever, because it was the first time I was cursed at seeing an actor acting in all of my productions. Yes?”
Producer Song Man-woo turned his head to the left and asked for consent from the actors. Actors such as Ryu Jung-min and Hong Hye-yeon laughed or nodded insignificantly. Hundreds of reporters let out a little exclamation.
“Yeah- Is PD Song enough to do that?”
The board that was intended to pretend it wasn’t is getting bigger and bigger.
It was like that just by looking at the expressions of the reporters who were rolling their eyes and looking at them. Back in the day, reporters posed similar questions to other actors.
“How was Jung-min throughout the filming?! Did you have a scene with that scene stealer actor??”
“yes. I had a lot of scenes with that actor. Um- By the way, I think I worked hard several times harder after watching the actor’s acting. He served as a stimulant.”
“Ah, as a stimulant? To Mr. Ryu Jung-min?”
The main actors of ‘Profiler Hanryang’ all praised ‘Park Dae-ri’.
Hundreds of reporters at the production presentation enjoyed chewing and tearing off the rice cakes that were thrown for several tens of minutes. Thanks to that, I was able to pass the scheduled time easily. Because there was already a lot of talk before Park’s question.
Therefore, the host of the production presentation slowly gave the closing remarks.
“Let’s go – we’ve already been over 30 minutes, right? I will finish with one last question.”
“Here, here!”
“I will do it!”
“Yes, the reporter in the gray shirt over there!”
The selected reporter lowered his hand and looked at Hong Hye-yeon, who was smiling.
“Hye-yeon, you unexpectedly appeared at the ‘Mise-en-scène Film Festival’ and turned the short film world upside down. At the awards ceremony, she won the Best Performance by an Actress, giving her grand prize to an unknown actress, right? How was she feeling?”
It was a question with a little aggression towards Hong Hye-yeon, which had nothing to do with ‘Profiler Hallyang’. Soon, it was when the host raised her hand and gestured to Hong Hye-yeon not to answer.
“Reporter, haven’t you seen ‘The Secret Service’? Come and see.”
Hong Hye-yeon, with a relaxed smile, answered quietly.
“Then you will understand why I got the top prize. I acknowledge the target of the actor. You can see as much as you know, I think you asked that question because you don’t know.”
The reporter who asked the question was a bit overbearing.
“Ah- ah yes. That, that’s right.”
Hong Hye-yeon’s entire team of managers covered their faces and sighed.
“Ha- again.”
Because her clever behavior was not once or twice.
Tens of minutes later, in the meeting room of Oullim Films.
Choi Seong-gun, who was sitting side by side with the expressionless Kang Woo-jin, was now in a state of disillusionment.
‘······ Week, starring? It’s not a supporting role, it’s a lead role??!’
A few tens of minutes ago, I heard from director Kwon Ki-taek that he would cast Kang Woo-jin as the leading villain. Currently, director Kwon Ki-taek, on the other side, was in the middle of explaining the future schedule in relation to the next film.
“The investment has already been settled…”
However, Choi Seong-gun, who had a ponytail, did not hear anything. What does this mean?
‘Yes… I had expectations. Director Kwon Ki-taek came to the scene in person, so it seemed like he would give me more than just minor and minor roles.’
If it’s a semi-supporting role or unconventional, it’s a supporting role. Choi Seong-gun would have opened his mouth at least that much. Because it was the joining of the master director Kwon Ki-taek’s work division. However, director Kwon Ki-taek, as if offering some kind of candy, offered Kang Woo-jin a leading villain.
‘Dae, how many stairs do you jump up and down?!’
Even Choi Seong-gun, who has been in the entertainment industry for decades and has excellent personal connections and skills, was a sight to see for the first time. Two months after his appearance, Moo-myeong was given a leading role by director Kwon Ki-taek? It’s not at the level of breaking convention, but it’s being smashed. I don’t know, but if this story spreads to the movie world, there will be a lot of uproar.
At the same time, it was clear that Kang Woo-jin would be spotlighted.
About this.
-Sue.
Choi Seong-gun, his eyes widened, slowly turned his head to look at Kang Woo-jin, who was sitting next to him. He nodded his head calmly and listened to director Kwon Ki-taek’s explanation.
‘······Why are you so calm in the world?’
What is the source of that calmness or boldness? After all, is it coming from that child’s own high self-esteem?
Woojin did not show any disturbance. As if he had predicted this situation. Meanwhile, Kang Woo-jin turned his head to the right. Indifferent, he made eye contact with Choi Seong-gun.
An exclamation mark appeared in Seong-gun Choi’s eyes for a moment.
‘Oh yeah. If I go out with you in the future, there will be many situations like this, so are you telling me to be surprised and do what I have to do? haha, got it dude Unlike you, I’m not a steel heart.’
Kang Woo-jin, who looked at Choi Sung-gun calmly, was very embarrassed.
‘No, shouldn’t we check if this master director is really good? Can you name an interesting character? But doesn’t he say he’ll give you that character?’
At this time, Choi Seong-gun suddenly raised his hand while watching director Kwon Ki-taek explaining.
“Director. really. This is an offer I am very grateful for. I think I will remember this moment for the rest of my life, haha.”
“I think I will remember for a long time too. As you know, this is the first time.”
“yes. me too. Thank you so much. However, with all due respect, I think it is a bit premature to sign a contract today.”
yes? Kang Woo-jin, who flinched inwardly, stared at the head of the agency. Choi Seong-gun, noticing his gaze, winked his right eye indistinctly. I know your heart, so I was told to leave it to you.
“Today, it seems appropriate to wrap up the verbal contract with the director, Woojin-ssi, and myself, and arrange the detailed issues and contracts later.”
“hmm-”
“Of course, it would be nice if the film companies were also invited to observe the verbal contract. That’s how the director and Woo Jin decide each other, and I will discuss the details with the film companies later.”
this was normal There are many conditions and negotiations such as ransom in the movie appearance contract, and schedule adjustments between the actors and the filming team were also necessary. That is why verbal contracts between directors and actors are common in paintings.
Even a verbal contract was close to being finalized.
In particular, the power of an oral contract becomes stronger for a director with a high name value like Kwon Ki-taek. However, Kang Woo-jin did not know this well. Therefore, he gave Choi Seong-gun a deeper look. Why are you cheating? spit out the amount
Choi Seong-gun also recognized this.
‘Yes, Woojin understood what you meant. Are you asking me to raise the ransom? What a lead role from director Kwon Ki-taek. You’re telling me not to pass it safely, right?’
Although their understanding was clearly different, Choi Seong-gun arbitrarily derived an answer from Kang Woo-jin’s eyes.
‘Know. Woojin-yi, you received an unconventional ransom even at Hanryang, and even when signing a contract with the agency, there were clear guidelines for contract conditions and down payment. In other words, you’re saying to postpone the contract until at least the first round of ‘a profiler’?’
Recognition in the entertainment industry can change explosively overnight. Even if no one knew yesterday, if a topic breaks out today, the market in which the front digit of the ransom will change. Choi Seong-gun noticed it in Kang Woo-jin’s eyes.
‘It has already risen as a blue chip in the film industry with ‘Mise-en-scène Film Festival’, but its popularity is still not very explosive. It would be a pity for us to sign a contract in this situation.’
The conclusion is that the ransom will increase several times only if it is added up to the amount of ‘profiler’. Seong-gun Choi frowned again at Woo-jin Kang, who was looking at him indifferently, as if to tell him not to worry.
‘I’ll take care of it.’
Next, director Kwon Ki-taek looked at Choi Seong-gun and nodded slowly. A good laugh is a bonus.
“Hmm, yes. I see what you mean. I forgot the realistic part and proceeded with the work a little hastily. It was because Woojin was greedy.”
“I understand, Director.”
“Then, first, join the production team of the film company and proceed with the verbal contract.”
“please.”
Director Kwon Ki-taek, who took out his cell phone, called the waiting production team, and Choi Seong-gun carefully asked director Kwon Ki-taek, who hung up the phone.
“By the way, Director. I’m sorry, but when are you going to reveal to the media about your next project? He said it’s still a secret.”
“Yes. It should be done when the minimum lead role is established. It will probably be sorted out within this month at the earliest.”
“this month. If it’s confirmed, can we put a little more effort into unplaying in our entertainment? It feels like Woo Jin has joined the director’s division.”
Director Kwon Ki-taek’s smile deepened as if he was okay.
“It’s true, but can’t it?”
“thank you.”
Choi Seong-gun, who had his head down, attached to Kang Woo-jin. Woojin is still expressionless, but inside he doesn’t know what is going on. Choi Seong-gun whispered to him.
“At least twice as much. More than that if there are many. I’ll take it once to a level that satisfies the ransom price as you think. Let’s delay the contract somehow. Leave it to me, it’s quite possible considering Kwon is the director. What kind of grandchild are you looking at now?”
Suddenly, where did the ransom money come from? No matter how much I thought about it, it was Woojin that I couldn’t judge. However, I didn’t think there was a need to stop them from raising my appearance fee.
“···Yes, I understand.”
“and. Imagine that Woojin wants you to be crazy when he sees you unfollow. Is it already on the rise as the acting grand prize at the ‘Mise-en-scène Film Festival’? I’m a blue chip in the movie industry, and somehow I got into trouble. Let’s say that even one dose exploded. After that, even those who joined director Kwon Ki-taek’s division as the lead role are thrown together. What do you think?”
Choi Seong-gun laughed at this.
“You’re not a blue chip in the movie industry, you’re going to be a nuclear bomb in the entertainment industry.”
next day. On the morning of the 9th, at a luxury hotel in Seoul.
It was a suite that looked spacious at first glance. A man with a big nose full of gray hair stands in a shower gown by the window overlooking Seoul. He sips coffee as he gazes out of his window.
It was directed by Japanese master Kyotaro Tanoguchi.
“······hmm.”
Director Kyotaro remained in Korea even though the ‘Mise-en-scène Film Festival’ ended two days ago on the 7th. his own choice. Thanks to that, of course, the teams that came over with him were also in Korea.
-Sue.
Director Kyotaro, who was looking out the window, sat down on the luxurious sofa. On the table in front of me was the scenario I had been watching until just before. Recently, director Kyotaro has been reading several scenarios for his next film.
however.
“no.”
He spat out a little Japanese and covered the scenario he was watching. It was because I couldn’t concentrate. In fact, his mind was still full of unknown Korean actors.
It was Kang Woo-jin.
I only saw him for a short while, but his acting skills were crazy, and the smell of the human itself was a kind of strange explosion of curiosity.
“······That fluent Japanese. It seems like he lived in Japan- but the acting tone was not Japanese at all. Or is it a case of living in Japan as a child and moving to Korea?”
Anyway, Kang Woo-jin, an unknown actor, definitely seemed to lack recognition. Very few people knew him at the ‘Mise-en-scène Film Festival’, and even Korean reporters treated Kang Woo-jin very strangely.
“Acting is more than a 10-year-old veteran, but his awareness is low. There were no rumors that there was any work involved. I didn’t look younger either. Are the hurdles for acting in Korea really that high?”
As director Kyotaro, I couldn’t understand it at all. He was an actor who wouldn’t be strange at all if he was in a masterpiece based on his acting skills. Fortunately, his skills were proven at the ‘Mise-en-scène Film Festival’, but in the end, it was a non-mainstream short film festival.
“Such a waste. Isn’t it too much of a waste to leave that actor like that?”
waste. It was such a waste to leave an actor named Kang Woo-jin behind.
“It doesn’t make sense for an actor with such absurd abilities to be in short films. In my eyes, he is an actor who should contribute to the development of the acting world, whether in Korea or Japan. ”
Here, director Kyotaro decided to do something. Let’s show the world that unknown actor who is so precious. both Korea and Japan. Of course, director Kyotaro also had greed as a director. He wants to work with an actor who is still raw.
‘He will alert Japanese actors. In Korea, even an actor like this has to spend years and years in a short film.’
Having made a decision after judging something alone, he picked up his cell phone.
“Let’s talk in my room now. I must stay in Korea for a few more days.”
It was to call the team in the other room.
