I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 83
Only Krnovel
Around the time the news of the nuclear bomb and Kang Woo-jin joining Kwon Ki-taek’s next film as a lead role was thrown on the Internet. Woojin, who did not know about this yet, was in the middle of a meeting at Netflix Korea.
In the medium-sized meeting room, there are quite a few key figures related to ‘Boyfriend’.
Not only Kang Woo-jin, but also chubby general director Kim So-hyang, writer Choi Na-na, Hwarin, director Shin Dong-chun, and the team leaders of each Netflix team. We had already exchanged greetings for several tens of minutes, and now we are having a simple conversation.
In the meantime, Hwarin glanced at Woojin and director Shin Dongchun while fiddling with the thin bracelet Kang Woojin had picked up.
‘That director and Woojin-nim made ‘Heungshinso’…’
In other words, in her eyes, director Shin Dong-choon was like a benefactor who brought Kang Woo-jin to the world. As a result, Hwarin, who was a fan, became very fond of director Shin Dong-chun.
‘I have to say hello properly after the meeting!’
General director Kim So-hyang, who was talking with the team leaders to see if the materials were properly organized, drew everyone’s attention.
“Now, from here on, the new director can handle it.”
Director Shin Dong-chun, who was looking down at the tablet, nodded slowly.
“Well, we should start by confirming the production company.”
“yes. But since we’ve already narrowed it down to three, it won’t take too long. After a brief meeting, the director can decide according to the situation.”
Upon hearing the answer, director Shin Dong-choon focused his attention on writer Choi Na-na, whose tension was evident.
“Writer, can we have a brief script meeting after the meeting?”
“ah! yes yes!! it’s okay! I will do my best!”
“Haha, you are too frozen. Relax.”
“yes! I will try to die for that too!”
Writer Nana Choi’s spirit spread laughter throughout the meeting room, and general director Kim So-hyang showed the tablet to everyone and changed the subject.
“It will be communicated gradually, but I will tell you the main points first. This ‘one-act project’ will be in the form of opening one episode every two weeks, starting with ‘Boyfriend’. As ‘Boyfriend’ is the cover, I will give my strength to everything from publicity to production.”
In reality, her blueprint had a lot planned.
“In addition, I saw a discussion with Netflix in Japan. It’s not all of the ‘one-act project’, but first of all, ‘Boyfriend’ is scheduled to be launched on Netflix in Japan.”
Launched Netflix in Korea and Japan. Kang Woo-jin pretended to listen calmly, but inside he was quite surprised.
‘Wow- Come on, it’s uploaded to Netflix Japan?? The plate gets really big??’
Because I never really thought of Netflix in Japan. In an instant, something that passed through Kang Woo-jin’s mind.
-[6/Script (Title: Boyfriend), Grade A]
The rating of ‘male friend’ soared.
‘Ah- this isn’t just Hwarin-nim’s joining… is it Class A in regards to the Japanese side?’
It was then.
“Oh, just one more. Anyway, the new director will decide during the pre-hosting, but I think it is necessary to check in advance.”
Kim So-hyang called Kang Woo-jin, an indifferent face.
“Mr. Woojin. I grew up working on the OST. Woojin has two options. If it’s burdensome, you can just play the role of ‘Han In-ho’, and if you don’t mind, how about participating in the OST?”
what? What are you participating in? OST? Kang Woo-jin knew very well that it was a very important part. If you look at the music charts, drama OSTs often appear in the rankings. But is it okay for me to do that? When Woo-jin asked himself, General Director Kim So-hyang continued.
“Hwarin has already said that she is participating, and the collection of songs is quite advanced. For my goal, I’m thinking about 2-3 songs, including Hwarin’s solo song, Woojin’s solo song, and a duet song. Of course, she will add other songs as well, but I want Woojin and Hwarin to focus on the main ones.”
Here, Hwarin glanced at Kang Woo-jin on the other side.
‘Woojin-nim, I hope you do. Even if you’re tone-deaf, I can use all my skills to make it okay.’
Kim So-hyang, who had been slowly crossing her legs, pushed herself toward Woo-jin.
“The cause is sufficient. There are several scenes in which ‘Han In-ho’ shows off his hidden singing skills. What do you think, Woojin?”
Something else is raging inexorably. This time, let’s try an OST that we’ve never done before. This, too, was insanely unfamiliar to Kang Woo-jin. There is a big difference between singing in a karaoke room and being revealed to the world. However, Woojin did not move backwards at all.
I was pretty confident.
‘Hehe, I’ve never done anything, but I’ll do something. I’m also acting, but it’s about OST. More than anything, my singing skills are bad right now, right?’
His nose pierces the sky. Of course, it was self-esteem for a reason. So a little arrogance and a spoonful of bravado.
“I don’t think there is anything particularly difficult.”
General director Kim So-hyang is slightly surprised.
“Oh- really?”
“yes. really.”
Is it true? Or are you just trying it out? General director Kim So-hyang was confused.
‘···But either way, it’s like that because it’s a flat hit, right? But if it’s far less than average, it’s going to be difficult-‘
Hwarin jumped inwardly while smoking something else. Well, besides her, everyone in the meeting room reacted differently when they saw Kang Woo-jin. Directed by Shin Dong-chun.
‘No way… are you good at singing? Isn’t it?’
Writer Nana Choi, and other team leaders.
‘As long as it’s barely audible… I just want Hwarin to carry it.’
Whatever it was, it was necessary to check. Therefore, general director Kim So-hyang opened her mouth again.
“Then uh- Hwarin-san and Woojin-san go through a simple confirmation task according to their schedules. It won’t take that long, and it would be nice to match Woojin’s and Hwarin’s tones in our recording studio. Then it will be easy to find a song that suits you. Just to check it out.”
It was a natural procedure.
“There, Mr. Hwarin and Mr. Woojin will sing a duet song that is already on the market.”
Then Kim So-hyang asked Kang Woo-jin.
“Woojin-ssi, I think you can simply sing any song you like.”
same time.
A 24-hour soup restaurant near Netflix Korea. It was close to lunchtime, so there were many customers in the spacious soup restaurant. In the meantime, 3 familiar people. Choi Seong-gun, Jang Su-hwan and Han Ye-jeong were visible.
All three of them are busy eating soup,
Because Kang Woo-jin had to fill his stomach properly during the meeting. Han Ye-jeong was the first to place the spoon. She looks down at her phone as she lifts her water cup, which has recently changed to her yellow bob. At the same time, her eyes widen.
“uh? CEO. This article-”
Han Jeong-jeong shows the article he just checked to Choi Seong-geon. Choi Seong-gun, who had a spoon in his mouth, also had his pupils dilated.
“What, when did this come out?!”
“I think it’s been several tens of minutes.”
The article they saw was:
『[Exclusive] Big newcomer ‘Kang Woo-jin’ joins the next film of master ‘director Kwon Ki-taek’… Film company side “Kang Woo-jin is cast as the lead role”]
Choi Seong-gun, who quickly marched to the water, picked up his cell phone.
“This…isn’t it official, isn’t it?”
“yes. Since it’s official, the source is.”
“uh. Directed by Kwon Ki-taek. But I know it’s not the right time yet. Why did you blow it up so early? Is it only Woojin?”
Choe Seong-gun, chanting, checked the Internet situation. There were already a lot of articles following.
At this time.
– Woo-woo, woo-woo.
The phone spat out a long vibration. It was Choi Seong-gun’s cell phone. When he identified the caller, he was a bit surprised. It was because it was a call from director Kwon Ki-taek. Soon after, Choi Seong-gun got up from his seat and left the soup restaurant and put his cell phone to his ear in front of the entrance.
“Yes, Director.”
Director Kwon Ki-taek’s soft voice can be heard through the cell phone.
“Maximum Pyo. Did you check the article? An article confirming Woojin’s casting.”
“yes yes. I was just about to check and get in touch. Is that an official announcement from the director?”
“It’s true that our distributor turned it around. As Choi Dae-pyo knows, the original version was scheduled to be released around the end of June, but, to put it mildly, it opened a bit early because Woojin-ssi was a bit messy.”
messy crap. Choi Seong-gun and bw Enter also knew about it. But they didn’t respond at all. Because that kind of chirashiya was so common in the entertainment industry.
‘What, did director Kwon Ki-taek look at you a little pitifully? It should be good because we’re in the position we’ve been waiting for-‘
At this time, over the phone, director Kwon Ki-taek spoke again.
“Of course, from now on, if Choi Dae-pyo has prepared something to promote, you can throw it. Since we’re going to open gradually, starting with Woojin, we just need to adjust the speed while sharing with the distributor.”
“Yes yes. Director. Then we will only spread news about Woojin.”
“But, Choi Dae-pyo. Woojin’s chirashis that have been circulating lately. The topic was Jung-gu heating, but it smelled like someone was working on it to me. It just didn’t seem like the reporters threw it without thinking. In my experience, it feels like someone sprinkled red pepper powder on it.”
“…Yes, I was watching that too. It’s also the fact that the flow has become a bit more rapid.”
“Pyo Choi, you have wide feet, so look for them. Woojin-ssi, it’s just the beginning, wouldn’t it be narrow to find a place to get a book?”
Choi Seong-gun laughed a little.
“Yes, Director. Thank you for caring me.”
“What, Mr. Woojin, now that we’ve learned the lead role, we have to take care of it. Then let’s call again.”
– Knock.
Just like that, the phone call was cut off, and Seong-gun Choi entered the soup restaurant again with a strange expression on his face. Jang Soo-hwan and Han Ye-jeong, who were seated, threw a question.
“It’s official, right?”
“Are they finally open?!”
“huh.”
“K-The first commercial film starring director Kwon Ki-taek. The film world will be in a frenzy again!”
Jang Soo-hwan was excited, but Choi Seong-geon rested his chin and muttered inwardly.
‘Yeah, now the work drought and all the trivial noises will be gone. It’s not confirmed, but if I overturn Kyotaro’s stuff here, it’ll be a disaster.’
Choi Seong-gun then picks up his cell phone and calls the PR team.
“Yeah, did you see the article? uh uh It’s official, so let’s throw in what we’ve prepared. As soon as possible on all channels such as the media, social media, and public websites.”
Choi Seong-gun, who hung up the phone at the end of the instructions, crossed his legs. And then he rolls his head.
‘Hmm- You bastard who will work on Woojin, there’s only one bastard.’
It hasn’t been a few months since Kang Woo-jin appeared in the domestic entertainment industry. That’s why Seong-gun Choi, who very simply derives the opponent who attacked her Woo-jin.
‘Seo Gu-seop. That bulldog pup sure is. It’s certain that Seo Seo-seop was involved, whether it was the initiation of the attack or the instigation of an outburst.’
Of course, Seong-gun Choi continued to keep an eye on CEO Seo Seo-seop. Now that I know that the investor of ‘Heungshinso’ is bw Entertainment, I will never stay still.
‘Honestly, I thought he would attack me right away, but for some reason he said he was quiet. Well, I’ll have to catch up soon too.’
Choi Seong-gun laughed out of the blue.
‘If you try, Seo Seo-seop will get hurt more than me?’
It was an expression that hid something Joker.
after.
The news of director Kwon Ki-taek’s next film shook the film media. To be precise, the issue that the hot Kang Woo-jin was selected as the lead role.
In an instant, this spread to the entertainment industry as a whole. It was a decent source.
It was the same with the new work of the terrifying master director Kwon Ki-taek, but Kang Woo-jin, who has been debuting for several months, is the main character in that super-sized work out of nowhere? Of course, being noisy was a natural step. The ripple effect is insignificant. In just an hour, articles began to appear on various portal sites.
In the meantime, PD Yoon Byung-seon, who was moving in the HTBS entertainment department team van, caught his ear.
“Hey- what is this? I heard Woo Jin is joining the next film directed by Kwon Ki-taek? Even as a lead actor.”
As soon as they heard the news, the eyes of the writers and junior PDs widened.
“omg! Really??!”
“oh my god! That’s right! Gradually, the article started to spread! Wow- It’s crazy to be starring in a movie directed by Kwon Ki-taek… It’s not at the hot level, this.”
“Are you sure? If this is the case, will Woo-jin and Kwon Ki-taek become directors’ divisions?”
“Isn’t it still up to Satan?”
Producer Yoon Byung-seon, who was browsing several articles, asked the excited writers.
“I never thought he was hiding such a super-large rice cake. Doesn’t it look like you kept this a secret from the past?”
“I guess so. If you have director Kwon Ki-taek’s level of power, it’s cheap to choose a favorite film and hide it, but then I think it exploded at the right timing.”
“After watching Hanryang, director Kwon Ki-taek must have sent the scenario to Woo-jin right away. Ah, what about the ‘heungsangso’ time? Well, anyway, Woojin-san doesn’t do anything normal.”
Producer Yoon Byung-seon’s smile, which had been spitting out a laugh as if it were great, somehow deepens.
“It will definitely be imprinted on the public.”
Producer Yoon Byung-seon chanting meaningfully.
“Hmm-would this give us a bit of strength too?”
The eyes of the main writer widened slightly at PD Yoon Byung-seon’s smile, and he quickly asked him back as he put down his cell phone.
“Will you give me strength? Ah- are you saying that we should also turn Woojin’s unanswers?”
“Yeah, that’s what it sounds like.”
Producer Yoon Byung-seon, who has a bad-tempered expression unique to entertainment PDs, said lightly.
“Acceleration has been added, so let’s add a booster.”
