I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 78
Only Krnovel
“……Isn’t it okay?”
In response to Ryu Jung-min’s firm answer, director Kwon Ki-taek scratched his stomach and crossed his arms.
“It sounds like you are forced to do it.”
“You can look at it that way. To be honest, I had a lot of worries.”
“But is it because it is my work? Are you greedy for the ripple effect and background?”
At the question, Ryu Jung-min corrected his posture. Then he remembered the Hanryang filming with Woojin.
“·······”
It took a few seconds before he spoke again.
“Director, when an actor is pitiful and feels the limits of his ability, he chooses to break through. It’s full of power. I did too. However, if you feel the limit after getting on the track to some extent, you will feel frustration rather than breakthrough. Do you have a great sense of loss?”
“···hmm.”
“But I am praised as a tower by those around me. The fear of frustration and the sense of loss are many times greater. The problem is that I recently entered that state, and it was a monster pretending to be a rookie who gave me them.”
Ryu Jung-min smiles bitterly.
“Leaving aside the past of that monster. He is a monster that can destroy my career in just a few days, even though his career in the domestic entertainment industry is far behind me.”
“You’re talking about Woojin.”
“You asked if I was really okay? Kang Woo-jin, it’s hard. I can’t even guess where the end will be. I am growing every time I see him, and when I look into his eyes when we act together, I feel distant. If you struggle, you think you’ve gotten closer, but before you know it, you’re running in front of me.”
“hmm.”
Director Kwon Ki-taek, who nodded slowly, understood exactly what top actor Ryu Jung-min was thinking. Because I saw the scene of Hanryang firsthand. A two-shot between Ryu Jung-min and Kang Woo-jin. The acting of the two looks similar at first glance. But there is a difference in the depth. It was clearly a difference in concentration.
At this time, Ryu Jung-min’s bitter smile deepened.
“But the real world is the gist of it, even though it is the moment when I feel the biggest crisis as an actor for decades, the work has done well as ever. Whether it be acting or technical, the evaluation of me is higher than ever.”
“You’ve improved, that’s usually called breaking an egg.”
“yes. Unknowingly, I put down the weight of being a leading actor or a top actor and competed purely through acting. Woojin wouldn’t have felt that way.”
Director Kwon Ki-taek gave the answer to himself.
‘The reason why that was possible was because Kang Woo-jin acted as a pillar on the set.’
Thanks to that, Ryu Jung-min, the lead actor, was able to focus only on acting, ignoring everything else.
“I felt relieved when Woojin left after filming. Conversely, I was also anxious. It’s true that when I’m with him, everything I’ve built up becomes like rat poop, and whenever I run into him, I naturally think of running away.”
“·······”
“A lot of things break. Whether it’s motivation or passion.”
Here, Ryu Jung-min suddenly changed his expression seriously.
“But it makes people pure. ‘Innocence’ is put in front of any word, such as desire, greed, miasma, or overheating. He makes my naked body visible and I am frustrated but also see the potential for further improvement.”
“It’s a strange relationship.”
“monster? It’s scary, but I’ve changed my thinking a bit. I’m going to use that scary thing. for me.”
Soon, Ryu Jung-min, who leaned forward slightly, made eye contact with director Kwon Ki-taek and smiled a little.
“Moreover, this time it is the same lead role with no gap in the cast. It will be several times more intense. Now I’m even looking forward to it, how much more like a monster Woojin will be and how far I will grow.”
Master director Kwon Ki-taek laughed inwardly.
‘He’s a monster enough, but he’s just a different weight class from Kang Woo-jin.’
Again, on the set of ‘Drug Dealer’.
While director Kim Do-hee slams his face into the monitor and licks his lips, the main and supporting actors are waiting for Kang Woo-jin to come next.
‘I thought an ad-lib would suddenly appear here, I couldn’t take my eyes off the acting because it was so ever-changing.’
‘Did you think that your first acting was a bit disappointing? Was it good enough in my eyes?’
The impact of the first acting was so strong that no one, except Kang Woo-jin, thought that the current hug was a mistake.
anyway.
‘hmm? Haven’t you experienced this atmosphere before?’
In a strangely quiet situation, Kang Woo-jin recalled the past. It’s the situation where I really fell during the ‘heungsinso’. I don’t know why, but people take Woo-jin’s mistakes as acting.
It smelled like that again.
‘Okay, let’s continue smoothly.’
The pinnacle of shamelessness.
Because Woojin already had experience, his face color did not change and he raised his ideals again. So the filming continued without interruption until the end.
Of course, no one noticed Woojin’s mistake. Woojin, who was calm on the outside, clenched his fists on the inside.
‘Nice, do you think it went well?’
The scene just before was finished only after being repeated a total of 4 times, and the next cut was a scene where only Lee Sang-man fell into drugs alone. An important scene to solidify the character after Lee Sang-man’s first appearance in ‘Drug Dealer’. Therefore, the actors did not particularly talk to Kang Woo-jin.
I was curious, but everyone seemed to hold back.
“Woojin, is it okay if I go right away? You can take a break if you need time.”
Director Kim Do-hee, who was rehearsing and talking with Kang Woo-jin, was a bit worried, but time was meaningless to Woo-jin, who had the scenario in hand. I’m only late for work.
“No, it’s fine. You can go right away.”
Woojin, who answered cynically, briefly looked around Lee Sang-man’s office while setting up for the shoot. After seeing the reality, he secretly raised his index finger. It was to enter the sub-space and review before filming.
-Hook!
More precisely, it was also assumed that it would become dull. It’s a disgusting scene, but it had to be made clear over and over again, but not insignificant.
Soon, Kang Woo-jin returned after leading Lee Sang-man’s world.
For Lee Sang-man, two worlds coexisted. reality and death. With that sticky feeling in his body, Woojin sat down on the sofa. Before elevating emotions, increase Lee Sang-man’s volume. He already has everything, but he is greedy.
‘A little more, a little more realistic.’
It is already only the ideal itself, but I try to forget it. reconsider He had to be thoroughly delusional. At this moment, things around him didn’t matter much. Because it is a cut that ends with Lee Sang-man’s existence.
at that time.
“high- ”
As the filming preparations were finished, director Kim Do-hee shouted loudly into the loudspeaker.
“action!”
Immediately, Kang Woo-jin brought up the path of death that only Lee Sang-man walked. The stinky smell is expressed desperately on the mug.
“Ku- hoo-”
Eyes, nose and mouth play separately. Something only attracts ideals. No, even push it. Physical space is endlessly turned off.
Lee Sang-man’s world is filled with indescribable things.
It was so desperate and so vague. The camera captures the world of death full of faces from the front. close. That is why Lee Sang-man’s compulsory joys and sorrows displayed on the monitor were vivid enough to bring out swearing.
More than 60 people are watching this right in front of their noses.
No evaluation was forthcoming. No one has been able to add a katabuta comment while only looking at the ideal of the present. That, that smoke, was something no one could take lightly.
The scene wasn’t long.
“…Cut! O, OK!!”
At the same time as the signal dropped, Woojin’s face, which had been in a state of trance, returned to expressionless at once. The addiction that had been brewing up until just before that had disappeared as if it had been washed away. Kang Woo-jin organizes the used props and delivers them to the props team in case there will be a reshoot.
It was only at this point that some of the actors chanted softly.
“It turned, really.”
“It gave me goosebumps, I think it was an ambiguous expression between a seizure and a flash- I can’t speak.”
Director Kim Do-hee, who had a loudspeaker in her hand, was a bit dazed. Of course, the eyes are looking at Kang Woo-jin in the monitor.
‘He’s not a rookie, he’s just an actor. A real actor.’
It was great. It was just that word. The scene just before was a scene that director Kim Do-hee put his heart and soul into. He personally visited drug addicts, interviewed them, found all the drug videos in the world, and put them in.
The acting hurdles are very high, but Kang Woo-jin did it very lightly.
Of course, it would be similar in the eyes of others, not just her. At this time, one of the production executives standing near director Kim Do-hee struggled to open his mouth.
“I’m saying this because I’m seriously worried. Ho, by any chance Woojin Kang has tried drugs or something like that, right? I know this sounds crazy, but wow- the smoke is real.”
“Oh no way. It is nonsense.”
Distributor personnel also intervened cautiously.
“But to show it in such detail.”
“…that kind of thing happened before, in the past.”
“Ah, Jo Ho-jae?”
It was a rare sight. The actor’s acting was so good that the production team began to confuse reality with acting. It was director Kim Do-hee who mediated it.
“Has anyone here actually tried drugs?”
“Oh, no.”
“But how do you judge that the acting that Woojin just did is realistic?”
“·······”
“If that’s the case, since I wrote the scenario, I’ll have to examine myself first.”
“Oh, no. I’m sorry, Director.”
“Please don’t go and ask Mr. Woojin. If an actor who is a benefactor showed such disrespectful behavior, it would really turn the whole scene upside down.”
Then, the staff of the production company or the distributor quickly withered away. Because director Kim Do-hee had a personality that would really do it. Even though her irritation exploded, she understood their feelings to some extent.
‘Conversely, it would be said that Woojin’s acting was absurd enough for these nobles to say such idiots.’
A newcomer who appeared only a few months ago confused big industry officials with his acting. I was about to laugh out loud. Soon, director Kim Do-hee stood up and spoke coldly to the staff of the production company or distributor.
“Suddenly, everyone is withdrawing. Since we saw Kang Woo-jin acting, the verification is over, right? It interferes with filming.”
Director Kim Do-hee walking to Kang Woo-jin in the shooting zone. Woojin was talking to the cinematographer about something.
“Woojin, are you okay?”
what? Woojin, who was just a little tired, answered roughly.
“Yes, it is fine.”
“Ah, let’s get some rest. That steamy scene is difficult for anyone. The picture is well chosen and I don’t think I need to take two shots. So take a break and get your emotions under control.”
Director Kim Do-hee, who tapped Woo-jin on the shoulder, made eye contact with the cinematographer and continued.
“Let’s go and smoke a cigarette, Woojin.”
Kang Woo-jin indifferently shook his head at director Kim Do-hee, who took out a pack of cigarettes from his pants pocket.
“No, because I don’t smoke.”
“···uh? Don’t you smoke?”
“yes. I don’t smoke.”
At that moment, director Kim Do-hee and cinematographer were a bit surprised. What I asked back was director Kim Do-hee.
“But when filming ‘Lee Sang-man’, you smoked naturally, right? Did you think that it would bloom unconditionally, even if it wasn’t to the point of weeding?”
Kang Woo-jin answered very nonchalantly.
“It was smoke.”
At this point, director Kim Do-hee laughed without even realizing it.
“Haha, I was fooled for a moment.”
It was because I was not very different from the production company and distributor personnel.
early the next morning.
Among the vast set complexes of ‘Drug Dealer’, the area around the shabby warehouse was busy. Of course, we were preparing to shoot.
“Art team! The director needs more bloodstains on the chair here!”
“How much?!”
“A lot, a lot!”
“Block the window up there! Where is the barrier?!”
“I’ll buy it right away!”
The atmosphere is just a junkyard. Quite wide. The stone pillars showed traces of age, and there was garbage all over the floor. There are also blood-stained vinyl in the corner. In the midst of such an abandoned warehouse, dozens of staff members are busy running around.
– Palak.
A man sitting on a pre-set wooden chair in the center of the warehouse and watching a scenario catches my eye. He was wearing plain short sleeved T-shirt. It was Jin Jae-joon, the male lead of ‘Drug Dealer’. In general, the impression is sharp. He was also one of the top actors in Korea and had a strong acting actor image.
In ‘Drug Dealer’, he took on the role of ‘Jeong Seong-hoon’ who conducts an undercover investigation.
funny thing.
“Whoa-”
Top actor Jin Jae-joon’s expression was very tense. Filming for ‘Drug Dealer’ has already passed the halfway point, and the adaptation was over. However, Jin Jae-joon was serious about something.
‘It’s Kang Woo-jin-‘
Of course, it was because of the monster Kang Woo-jin that appeared yesterday. A rookie who overturned the scene with just one cut of acting. Yesterday, after filming ended, all the actors talked about in the dorm was Kang Woo-jin.
And Jin Jae-joon.
‘That’s exactly what Jeong-min hyung said.’
I already asked Ryu Jung-min about Kang Woo-jin. As for what kind of actor it is. Ryu Jung-min’s answer was short and bold.
‘Smoke die, otherwise you’ll be eaten without even knowing.’
To be honest, Jin Jae-joon had a hard time believing it. It’s advice from a top actor like Ryu Jung-min, but it’s ridiculous to be eaten by a rookie, right? However, as of yesterday, Jin Jae-joon was able to trust Ryu Jung-min’s words.
‘I was looking for solder, but a monster came.’
Even though it was just through the director’s monitor, I got goosebumps all over my body. In particular, Kang Woo-jin’s drug solo scene was to the point of watching without soul. Today, Jin Jae-joon was scheduled to film his first face-to-face scene with Kang Woo-jin. According to the scenario, ‘Jeong Seong-hun’, who is greedy for advancement into Japan, makes an appointment to meet ‘Lee Sang-man’ through a gangster network.
Lee Sang-man already boasts the largest scale among Busan organizations.
If he made a mistake, he would advance to Japan, and Jung Sung-hoon did not know that he would die from Lee Sang-man without even knowing. However, as of now, it was only an ideal that there was a proper line in Japan. So Jung Sung-hoon had to catch Lee Sang-man’s eyes.
The problem was the meeting place.
Abandoned warehouse, not an office. Even in the actual scenario, Jung Seong-hoon and Lee Sang-man show a lot of very provocative scenes in this abandoned warehouse.
Of course, the climax is derived from Lee Sang-man’s hand.
At this time.
-Sue.
“hello.”
Kang Woo-jin, who finished preparing makeup and clothes in an abandoned warehouse, entered. He also stayed at a lodging near the set yesterday, and today his face is more lively than yesterday. The lower tones remain the same.
After such Woo-jin greeted director Kim Do-hee and the staff.
“Hello, senior.”
He also bowed his head to Jin Jae-jun, who was waiting. Jin Jae-joon smiled a little and reached out his hand to Woo-jin.
“I couldn’t even say hello because I wasn’t in a good mood yesterday. Please take good care of me, you probably meet me the most, right?”
“yes. I will do my best.”
Seeing Kang Woo-jin up close, Jin Jae-joon thought that his atmosphere was unusual.
‘I’m confused whether he’s calm or cold. Well, it’s his real personality, it has nothing to do with acting.’
And Woojin let go of Jin Jaejoon’s hand and was in the middle of being amazed.
‘Wow- Jin Jae-joon. It’s a face change. The top actors are all swindlers.’
A few dozen minutes later, preparations for filming were completed, and actors who did not have today’s filmings flocked to the abandoned warehouse.
“uh? Did the teacher come too?”
“Because there are a few scenes where Lee Sang-man sticks with me. I was curious about what kind of acting you do when you have a co-star rather than a solo cut.”
“Ah, killing Professor Kim is ideal, right?”
It was right to see them as spectators rather than actors. Whatever it was, Kang Woo-jin and Jin Jae-joon sat facing each other on wooden chairs in the middle of the abandoned warehouse. Director Kim Do-hee, who has a scenario between the two.
“First of all, let’s say Sang-man tortured his subordinates. I’ll go to rehearsal only for the scene behind it. Woojin, the knife is here.”
Soon, a sashimi knife was delivered to Kang Woo-jin, who was wearing only a suit shirt. Currently, the knife is clean, but blood was going to drip when the main shoot started, and Kang Woo-jin, who lifted the knife, wiped it with his shirt sleeve.
Then he throws the knife at the center of the desk.
The knife rolls around Jin Jae-joon. No, it stopped in front of ‘Jeong Seong-hun’. Then Lee Sang-man put his chin on his chin and spoke.
“What are you?”
Jeong Seong-hoon tries to answer calmly.
“what. I came to sell mulberries. Please pave the way to Japan.”
“Aren’t the sidekicks a bit picky?”
“know. Still, it’s okay if you varnish a little, so I came.”
“Paint it, then. Let’s see what you brought.”
Jeong Seong-hoon took something out of his pocket and put it on the desk. Only Lee Sang-man, who was looking down at the small grains, spoke softly.
“It’s a diamond.”
Moment.
-hook!
Lee Sang-man quickly lifted the sashimi knife that had stopped in front of Jung Sung-hoon and put it in front of Jung Sung-hoon’s right eye. The sharp blade trembles slightly in front of Jeong Seong-hun’s eyeballs. Jung Seong-hoon flinched.
On the other hand, Lee Sang-man bent his head slightly.
“Your eyes aren’t mulberry?”
I looked deeply into Jeong Seong-hoon’s pupils. violent gaze.
“Cops eyes, you’re a cop.”
Jin Jae-joon swallowed his saliva without realizing it.
