I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 55
Only Krnovel
Coach Kyotaro and his team suddenly appear. Dozens of employees at bw Enter stopped what they were doing and all looked at Kyotaro.
“······Director Kyotaro? Director Kyotaro Tanoguchi, right?”
On the other hand, employees who did not know Kyotaro asked people who knew him.
“Who are you? Are you famous? director? I’m seeing it for the first time You speak Japanese.”
“…In Japan, people know that I am director Kyotaro Tanokuchi. A great manager.”
While the employees were whispering, Choi Seong-geon, with ponytails, grabbed the hand that director Kyotaro was extending. But it was still full of question marks.
‘Why did this man… come here?’
Because it was such an absurd visit. At the same time, Kang Woo-jin, who noticed the strange atmosphere and checked the office situation after being in the representative office until just now, was also surprised. Of course, only inside.
‘Eh? the Japanese director. I think he was the one who gave me the prize at the film festival.’
Kang Woo-jin, who met eyes with director Kyotaro, who smiled for a moment, quickly deepened the concept. A cold-hearted expression that was quickly expressed. I had heard that director Kyotaro Ujindo was famous in Japan.
so? Why did you come here?
Director Kyotaro and Woojin had a brief conversation during the closing ceremony of the film festival. About 5 minutes? I couldn’t even remember that well because I was out of my mind. Therefore, to Woo-jin, director Kyotaro was just the man next door.
-Sue.
Director Kyotaro, who let go of Choi Seong-gun’s hand, chanted in Japanese. The smile was still there.
“I came here because I thought you would know my sincerity. Or, if it becomes a nuisance, you can reschedule the meeting.”
Spitting Japanese. Of course, there were interpreters. But for some reason, director Kyotaro looked at Kang Woo-jin, who was calm.
it was contagious
Choi Seong-gun also looked at Woo-jin with exclamation marks in his eyes, and the staff asked why Woo-jin? He turned his head to Kang Woo-jin with the same gaze. Soon, dozens of eyes focused on Woojin. Kang Woo-jin, who was looking around indifferently, recognized something inside.
‘Ah, you want me to interpret for you? Heh, that’s enough gum.’
There is a place to show off the Japanese you have learned so far. Kang Woo-jin spoke Japanese in a low tone as he approached Kyotaro.
“Hello, Director. I didn’t expect to see you again after the film festival.”
“is it so? I was looking forward to seeing you again.”
A conversation that goes on without hesitation. Choi Seong-gun knew, but dozens of employees at bw Entertainment opened their mouths at Kang Woo-jin’s Japanese skills.
Either that or not, Director Kyotaro continues.
“Is there anything else I can talk to?”
“wait a minute.”
Kang Woo-jin turned his head to Choi Seong-gun, who was standing on the left.
“We need a place to talk.”
“···uh? talk? Aaaaaaaaaa!”
Choi Seong-gun, who was a little dazed, came to his senses.
“Come over here!”
It was the representative office that Choi Seong-gun guided, and Kang Woo-jin politely waved to the representative office for Kyotaro. Soon, Choi Seong-gun and Kang Woo-jin sat opposite director Kyotaro and the interpreter in the representative office. Kyotaro’s other teams are waiting outside.
At this time.
“Woojin.”
Choi Seong-gun with a ponytail whispered to Kang Woo-jin.
“Why did Director Kyotaro come all of a sudden?”
“Me too.”
“Did you come because of Hyeyeon? Anyway, stay with me too. You are better than that interpreter.”
Well, it wasn’t bad for Woojin. The Japanese I learned in one day was also fun.
About that.
“It’s my first time doing something like this, but it’s nice.”
Director Kyotaro, who is full of gray hair across the street, laughed and spat out Japanese.
“The actor speaks Japanese, so there is no hesitation in conversation. I always felt uncomfortable when I came to Korea. Could Woojin Kang translate right away?”
At the question, Woojin nodded slightly.
“Yes, it is possible.”
“It was a pity that the conversation was shortened during the ‘Mise-en-scène Film Festival’. And Mr. Woojin’s current position is also a waste. With his great skills, he is now the target of short films. It’s my opinion, but it’s good enough to win a grand prize at a large film festival.”
“···thank you.”
“No matter how high the hurdles for Korean acting are, it is unfortunate that Woojin-ssi stays in short films.”
Do you know what this man is talking about? Woojin remained expressionless for the moment.
“·······”
“How long have you been in Japan?”
“It is difficult to tell you because of circumstances.”
“Um, okay. sorry.”
At this time, Seong-gun Choi, who had been listening to the conversation with his eyes wide open, was caught.
“I’m sorry. Director, are you here because of actress Hong Hye-yeon?”
It was Woojin who was interpreting right away, and director Kyotaro shook his head slowly.
“Hong Hye-yeon is a well-known actress in Japan. She’s a great learner too. She was also impressed by her performance in ‘Heung Agency’. But she came today because of actor Kang Woo-jin.”
me? You said you came because of me? Why? There were signs that things were about to get bigger. just as expected.
“Mr. Woojin, what do you think about advancing into Japan?”
Director Kyotaro’s question suddenly changed to a serious expression. Woojin kept his expressionless expression, but inside he was furious.
‘crazy? It’s been two months now, so what’s going on in Japan?’
He was speechless purely out of concept. However, that profound expression seemed to be worrying to director Kyotaro.
“It is natural to worry. By any chance, is there a finalized work?”
Hallyang is still silent, and director Kwon Ki-taek’s side has not been confirmed either. In other words, there was only one answer for Woojin to answer.
“Nothing has been confirmed yet.”
“okay.”
Hearing the answer, Director Kyotaro lamented inwardly.
‘I knew it. I can’t be this pitiful.’
In his own way, director Kyotaro investigated Kang Woo-jin throughout the Korean entertainment industry for several days. But nothing came out. Soon, director Kyotaro, who had closed his eyes for a moment, met Kang Woo-jin’s eyes.
“I am preparing my next project right now. The work has been confirmed. I’m working on an adaptation of a famous Japanese novel. That was about 80% done.”
Quite definitively, director Kyotaro murmured.
“I want to do that work with Woojin.”
after.
After meeting with Kang Woo-jin, coach Kyotaro left for Japan the next day, the 14th. What was originally a one-day schedule ended up staying for a week. Anyway, I decided to keep in touch with Choi Seong-gun through e-mail. The urgent thing is Kang Woo-jin.
Well, anyway, Woojin was positive. The conversation with director Kyotaro somehow smelled of misunderstanding.
‘I’m not going to Japan right now. It’s good to have a lot of possibilities.’
Because there is no need to refuse from the start. I decided to receive the scenario as soon as it was completed, and it was right to keep quiet about director Kyotaro’s proposal for now. I spread rumors all over the place, but if Woojin checked the grade in the subspace, it was garbage.
‘The position becomes a little cocky.’
Then, on the 15th, Kyotaro left.
Today was a historic day. Because it was the first day of ‘Profiler Hanryang’. Therefore, the drama teams participating in the war sprinkled the last publicity cake. Several top actors also encouraged viewing on their SNS.
Time passed by recklessly.
It is 9 o’clock on the night of the 15th. At this time, Kang Woo-jin in the van arrived at a large meat restaurant near Yangjae Station. It was a two-story independent meat restaurant, but today a drama team rented out the entire restaurant. The ‘Profiler Hanryang’ team. It was because of the whole party.
soon.
-Druck!
Kang Woo-jin, wearing a suitable hood, got out of a black van that stopped at an outside parking lot. And then.
“·······”
I look up at the meat restaurant without a word. Choi Seong-geon, Jang Su-hwan, and Han Ye-jeong stood side by side. Everyone looked at the meat restaurant like Woojin. Choi Seong-gun was the first to speak.
“Finally. I’m sure the reporters are waiting for the first show by now because they were so attracted to it.”
Choi Seong-gun, who was laughing, asked the solemn Woo-jin.
“how is it? The first room is right in front of you.”
Kang Woo-jin answered with a mixture of honesty and concept.
“I am hungry and looking forward to it.”
“Ha ha ha, the answer is ambiguous. Where do you see this as the attitude of a rookie?”
Choi Seong-gun, who was coolly haha, took his feet first. After that, Han Jeong-jeong and Jang Su-hwan joined, and Kang Woo-jin was the last. Woojin had a hard face, but on the inside he was breathing deeply like crazy.
‘It’s the first room, Mr. Ao’s final battle day.’
He was okay until the trailer for ‘Profiler Hanryang’ was released. His face didn’t even come out. But today is the day everything is announced. That’s why Woojin couldn’t calm down.
‘This feels very different from the first shoot, uh!’
The first room and the first filming were obviously of different types. Well, it was worth it. Today will be an inflection point in Kang Woo-jin’s life.
About that.
-Sue.
Kang Woo-jin’s team entered a meat restaurant. Already dozens of staff members in Hanryang were busy setting up their seats, and as soon as they saw Woojin Kang who had just appeared, the staff greeted them happily.
“uh! Woojin is here!”
“hello!!”
“Haha, Mr. Woojin! Isn’t it a bit burdensome because writer Park is dragging him coolly?”
Staff rushing in quickly. Kang Woo-jin received their greetings step by step while maintaining a cynical tone. Soon, the first staff member of the lighting team pointed to the second floor with his index finger.
“Mr. Woojin! The PD and the writer are on the second floor. The actors will also eat on the second floor!”
In a word, you go up to the second floor. Choi Seong-gun tapped Woo-jin on the shoulder.
“You go upstairs first, I’ll clean up here and follow you.”
Kang Woo-jin nodded and climbed the iron stairs leading to the second floor. The atmosphere on the second floor was not much different from the first floor. Several staff are setting drinks and meat on a round table, and a large TV in front of the table.
As soon as they found Kang Woo-jin, they laughed as if they were happy.
“Oi, our assistant manager Park is here.”
“How have you been, Woojin?”
Two familiar figures seated at a round table stood up. The beard was PD Song Man-woo and writer Park Eun-mi.
“Mr. Woojin! this way!”
“Are you here early? Ah- but why does it seem like I haven’t seen you in a few years?”
Kang Woo-jin, who was greeting the kiss staff, clung to the two of them, feeling ‘suddenly hectic’.
“Hello, PD. Writer.”
Then, Woojin was seated, and writer Park Eun-mi, who tied her long permed hair today, sat next to her and laughed.
“Congratulations on the target. I also said it at the closing ceremony, because congratulations are always not enough.”
“Thank you, but what about the other actors?”
“huh? Ah, some of them must be on the first floor? Didn’t you see? The rest are coming.”
At this time.
– Suck.
Suddenly, PD Song Man-woo with a beard whispered in Kang Woo-jin’s ear.
“I knew you were somewhere in America because you spoke English so well. I heard that your Japanese is also at a good level? Was it in Japan?”
“···sorry. Let me tell you something.”
Writer Park Eun-mi, who just shot a glass of soju alone, gently grabbed Kang Woo-jin’s right hand. Also close her eyes. Woojin was genuinely disgusted. What are you doing, writer? Kang Woo-jin spit it out in a low voice.
“What are you doing?”
“Pray.”
“A prayer?”
The answer came from PD Song Man-woo.
“It’s raining on a strong totem. Please make the ratings hit the jackpot.”
Writer Park Eun-mi, who still closed her eyes, was sincere.
“I am already a devotee.”
Kang Woo-jin, who had been looking at her calmly, decided to leave her alone. After a few tens of minutes passed, the actors slowly arrived. From Ryu Jung-min wearing a hat.
“Hello, senior.”
“huh. You’re here early, Mr. Woojin. By the way, you got the grand prize from the start?”
Leading and supporting actors, such as the hearty Jang Tae-san, gather. Soon the second floor started to burst with people. The one who arrived at the end was Hong Hye-yeon, who had finished her pictorial schedule. As if it was natural for her, she pushed PD Song Man-woo one step away and sat in the seat to the right of Kang Woo-jin.
She whispered to Woo-jin.
“I heard that the director came to the company as Kyotaro. I heard the company turned upside down?”
It still smells good today. Kang Woo-jin replied while suppressing his trembling.
“Yes, although it was for a short time.”
“Are you going to Japan?”
“I do not know.”
Hong Hye-yeon’s expression became subtle after hearing the answer. this moment.
“Oh oh! An ad pops up!”
The fat lighting director shouted as he looked at the big TV in front of him. Thanks to that, everyone from the actors to the dozens of staffs had their eyes fixed on the TV in front of them. It means right before the start of Part 1 of ‘Profiler Hanryang’.
“how! shake!”
“Haha, everyone wants to bet on ratings for the first time in a while, right?”
“Good! I bet 50,000 won on 10%!”
“I’m 10.7%!”
A sudden bet happens.
“It feels good! 50,000 for 15%!”
“Ohhhh! Then me too! 15.5%!”
All the actors and staff spit out numbers. Strangely, nothing below 10%. Then all the actors looked at Kang Woo-jin. The eyes of you too. Woojin is mostly according to the atmosphere mentioned above.
‘I don’t know, Mr. Just run.’
Say the highest number among the numbers spit out.
“I’ll bet 50,000 on 20%.”
Several staff members laughed coolly.
“ha ha ha! cool? When was the last time the viewership rating was close to 20%? has it been 3 years? 5 years?”
The male staff closest to the large TV shouted.
“Ugh! Start!!”
In fact, the title of the drama pops up on the TV after the advertisement has finished.
-‘Profiler limit’
The first episode of ‘Profiler Hanryang’ has begun.
after about 40 minutes. A shabby soup restaurant.
around 10:30 at night. A group of six people, both male and female, entered a soup restaurant without many customers.
among them.
“Chief! Six bowls of soup here!”
A man with a large body shouted as a representative. It was Kim Dae-young, Woo-jin’s ball friend. Probably this soup restaurant is a regular. The people who came together were the company’s employees. Because there was a small farewell party to commemorate Daeyoung Kim’s job transfer today.
anyway.
“It’s already past 10:30!”
Kim Dae-young, who ordered the rice soup, picked up the remote control before he even sat down. The gesture was very familiar. She then turned the channel on the small TV on the wall. Soon, the colleagues behind him threw out one word at a time.
“Wow – do you want to see a real drama?”
“Will you just watch the replay? What if it started more than 40 minutes ago?”
However, Daeyoung Kim shook his head.
“Ugh! That’s not the attitude of a true fan.”
“It’s really dizzy. Hong Hye-yeon is a true fan.”
“Haha, everyone wants to see ‘a profiler’ right now? Because it will always be fun.”
“That’s Park Eun-mi, right? Then I’ll hit it flat.”
Before I knew it, ‘Profiler Hanryang’, which was being aired on TV, was printed out. From the beginning, Hong Hye-yeon as a detective appeared, and Kim Dae-young, who was sitting roughly where her colleagues were sitting, gave her a thumbs up.
“Wow! Kya- The role of detective is also perfect, right?”
“Well, Hyeyeon Hong is pretty. Isn’t she almost number one in terms of beauty among the top actresses?”
It was at this time that six bowls of rice soup came out, and Kim Dae-young and his colleagues soothed their stomachs with hot rice soup. Of course, while watching ‘Profiler Hanryang’.
Everyone seemed to be having fun in their own way, so I was more focused on watching TV rather than talking.
“Is it fun? Do you like speed? I will go home and look again from the front.”
“Yeah- Ryu Jung-min looks good even with a baby perm like that? He’s good at acting.”
“Oh something tense! uh? The scene has changed. huh? Is this your first time seeing this actor? You must be new.”
“Wow, look at your eyes. A little creepy.”
“Aren’t you good at acting? He’s a murderer, 100 percent!”
“evil! You just laughed like a psycho.”
At this time.
– Took!
When the co-workers fell into the drama, the spoon Kim Dae-young was holding dropped on the desk. The sound startled her colleagues.
“what? What’s wrong?”
“Daeyoung? Are your eyes too big?”
In fact, Daeyoung Kim was watching TV with his mouth slightly open. No, to be precise, watching an actor laughing goosebumps on TV.
“… such a madman.”
Because it was the first appearance of ‘Park Dae-ri’.
