I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 88
Only Krnovel
“Did the director also think of ‘Kiyoshi Station’?”
When Akari asked a slightly surprised question, Kyotaro, full of gray hair, gave a small smile.
“Yes, writer.”
So you’re saying you were looking at that Korean actor for the lead role in the first place? Author Akari opened his mouth again.
“From the beginning, did you intend to propose the role of Kiyoshi to actor Kang Woo-jin? As soon as you see him?”
Director Kyotaro shook his head lightly.
“no. It wasn’t from the beginning. When I saw Woojin, the adaptation of the scenario was in progress. When I just met him after watching ‘Heungshinso’, all I wanted to do was play any role.”
“So since when? Since when have you been watching him for a lead role?”
“…it’s not clear. Probably after I came back to Korea this time and watched the drama Woojin shot. Have you seen ‘Profiler Hanryang’ at the hotel?”
Obviously, I was able to see Akari, too, but my schedule was busy and I didn’t have time.
“No, not yet.”
“I had an easier schedule than the writer, so I saw it as soon as I came to Korea. I was curious and couldn’t stand it. Be sure to check it out when you have a little time left. Very well chosen. And I thought I was really envious.”
“You are referring to the difference in quality between Korean and Japanese drama versions.”
“yes. Korea is already far ahead of Japan. The acting of the actors, the directing, the technique, etc.”
Director Kyotaro puts on a slightly bitter expression.
“It is a system difference. Indeed, it is a work that deserves a rating of over 20%. And it was Mr. Woojin who adjusted the pace at the beginning of the large-scale work.”
“·······”
“He appears as a serial killer who combines a psychopath and a sociopath, and Woojin’s restrained psychological expression in the play was excellent. You can feel the heart of the role just by looking at his face, not just by expressing emotions. Actions, eyes, breathing, tone of voice. None of that is unnecessary.”
Director Kyotaro, who had been chanting softly, looked back on his career for decades.
“No matter how you think about it, this is the first time in my life. Woojin has his own unique acting method, and that moves the hearts of viewers.”
“Today, I see that even my fellow actors are heating up.”
“I guess so. As you can see, you know that addictive smoke and eyes that blindly chase something. Seeing something like that right under your nose would make any actor hot.”
Here, director Kyotaro, who met Akari’s eyes, became serious.
“I thought of it in Hanryang, and I was convinced at the film set today. For him, ‘Kiyoshi Station’ would be perfect.”
“Because I have sociopath tendencies. I was drawn to his blind acting today. Acting after only one. What kind of life would he have lived? How could it be that such a terrible expression was casually…”
“I do not know. But I wouldn’t have been able to live properly. He must have lived a suffocating and dark unknown life while going through childbirth battles.”
Author Akari, who raised the glasses on the tip of her nose, also admitted inwardly. I don’t know, but I must have lived a life that was not easy. Without that, Kang Woo-jin’s performance in hell by a man who was so thick and rotted is close to impossible.
“I’m the original author… but I’m also afraid.”
Director Kyotaro agreed.
“Acting that goes beyond the role created by the director. Looking at it, the script he wrote and the directing feel very regrettable.”
Then he picked up a wad of paper lying around. It was a ‘bizarre sacrifice of a stranger’ scenario.
“Writer. I have one request.”
“ask? which?”
Director Kyotaro, who unfolded the scenario, took a picture with his index finger somewhere.
“I would like to modify the settings of ‘Kiyoshi Station’ a little.”
“A setting? how?”
“I want to insert the smell of Korea into the character. All I can think of right now is the past.”
“Native? Or like Koreans in Japan.”
“I think it would be better if Korean lines were included.”
“······surely. The color of Kiyoshi station should be more colorful. Especially if the actor in charge is a Korean.”
Soon, Author Akari smiled.
“I agree.”
Director Kyotaro, who was scratching his gray hair, covered the scenario he was watching.
“Now only his answer remains.”
The next day, the 13th.
Kang Woo-jin’s ‘Drug Dealer’ filming ended yesterday, except for minor things such as backsight. It was only natural that ‘Lee Sang-man’ died.
Then came the Saturday weekend.
At this time, thanks to the issues popping up every day, the entertainment industry was facing a crazy peak season. Thanks to that, the media were able to live, and the Internet was flooded with new stimuli every day.
『[Drama] The tense ‘Profiler Hanryang’ episode 9, final viewership rating of 22.6%』
Hanryang, which passed the middle of the work, was still flying high, defending the 20% rating. Of course, when Assistant Manager Park appeared in flashbacks in the middle, this was also reported.
Still, viewers couldn’t forget Park Dae-ri.
-Definitely, Assistant Manager Park was a jerk… Other actors are good too, but Kang Woo-jin’s impact was too strong….
According to Hanryang’s schedule, all filming was scheduled to be completed next week. Of course, Kang Woo-jin already finished filming, but his schedule with Han-ryang is not over at all.
Rather, the blockbuster work that recorded 25% viewer ratings is real after the work is over.
First of all, the finale.
The finale party, where all the actors gather after the work is over, was also a place to raise awareness for actors. Because it attracts the attention of many reporters and the public. After the ending party, various back stories were filmed, interviewed, re-broadcasted, OTT advances, etc.
In particular, it was important for a blockbuster work like Hanryang to go abroad.
『[Official] After ‘Profiler Hanryang’ ended, Netflix launched in Japan!』
Currently, Hanryang has been confirmed to advance to Netflix in Japan. In other words, even after the completion, Woojin had infinite things to eat from Hanryang. No matter what anyone says, Hanryang’s success is because of Kang Woo-jin’s virtue.
Following.
『[Movie Talk] A newcomer to play the lead role? Is there something in the relationship between ‘Kang Woo-jin’ and ‘director Kwon Ki-taek’?
The ‘missing island’, which exploded like a nuclear bomb two days ago, is already saturated. No, it was further developed. Currently, facts and abusing articles are rampant, including director Kwon Ki-taek and Kang Woo-jin.
The constant noise and bullshit.
The things of the past are gone, but the jirasi with the facts circulates around. However, for Kang Woo-jin, the current situation was not bad at all.
『[Star Photo] ‘Super-large Rising’ Kang Woo-jin, 550,000 SNS followers due to exploding interest↑/Photo』
『Kang Woo-jin Fan Cafe ‘Strong Heart’ in front of 10,000 people』
It was because it was firmly imprinted on the public. If you look at Kang Woo-jin’s popularity right now, he’s not envious of other top actors. However, at first glance, it doesn’t seem like it will fade easily, but this is a rising trend due to ‘freshness’ and ‘shock’. As with any issue, there comes a time when things become lukewarm.
The key is how long it will last.
In any case, it was a busy weekend.
Monday came again. late morning. The location is a photo shoot near Samseong Station. A lot of lights are shining brightly against an all-white background. Standing there is Kang Woo-jin in a gray suit top and bottom.
Tidy up hair with full makeup.
and.
-click! TDDDDDDY!
A photographer taking pictures of Kang Woo-jin.
“nice! good, good! Woojin, I’ll lift my chin a little more this time!”
“Ah- yes.”
“Oh nice nice! I feel like I’m looking at everything. great!”
-click! TDDDDDDY!
Right now, Woojin was shooting a pictorial for a famous men’s magazine. Of course, it was planned to decorate the cover of a magazine. Recently, Woojin had a lot of schedules like this.
“okay! Let’s laugh this time! smile!”
Woojin, a small-minded bourgeois inside, came out with his own attitude in the photo shoot. due to adaptation. Of course, it was awkward. Still, blood on new feet compared to smoke.
‘Is this a magazine cover? K- I really succeeded.’
Woojin, who had been expecting a little, felt down at the moment.
‘Ah- but it’s embarrassing for someone who knows me to read that magazine.’
At this time.
“Enough! Woojin! Let’s change our costumes and come back in 5 minutes!”
The photographer requested a change of clothes. Thanks to that, Woojin’s stylist Han Jeong-jeong was busy, and Kang Woo-jin took off her suit jacket and returned to her seat.
at the same time.
“Woojin.”
Choi Seong-gun, who had been on the phone with someone until just now, held out a water bottle to Woo-jin and asked.
“Did you say you finished reading ‘The Island of the Missing’?”
Woojin cynically opened the cap of the water bottle and nodded.
“Yes, I have read the first round and am reading the second round.”
Soon, Seong-gun Choi with ponytail asked Woo-jin in his ear.
“When do you want to see director Kyotaro?”
suddenly? Ah- I’m in Japan, so do I have to make an appointment in advance? Kang Woo-jin replied as if it didn’t matter.
“Anytime is fine as long as it fits the schedule.”
“Have you decided to advance to Japan?”
“yes.”
“Then, how about tonight after finishing the schedule for today?”
“…tonight?”
Anyway, isn’t that a bit tight? When Woo-jin made a similar expression, Choi Seong-gun laughed.
“Actually, I couldn’t talk because of you filming ‘Drug Dealer’. Director Kyotaro is now in Korea.”
“ah.”
“And I came to the set of ‘Drug Dealer’. with guests. That- with the Akari writer you mentioned.”
Woojin was surprised, but managed to endure the change in expression. But inside I cried out.
‘Did you see me?? Those two?!’
However, Kang Woo-jin had to be calm. So he endured the excitement to death.
“Is that so?”
“uh. Sorry, there was a request from you, and I didn’t say it because I thought it would interfere with your acting.”
“it’s okay.”
Choi Seong-gun showed a slightly dejected smile while looking at the calm Woo-jin.
“It’s kind of a surprise, but the reaction is really boring. well, it’s you So what about tonight?”
Kang Woo-jin answered briefly.
“Yes, go.”
Then, the photographer called Kang Woo-jin again. Choi Seong-gun spoke again to Woo-jin, who woke up thanks to him.
“Ah, and maybe Author Akari will come too.”
On the other hand, the shooting set of Hanryang.
The tip is in front of the nose, so dozens of staff members, including PD Song Man-woo with a beard, are busy.
“Standby in 10 minutes!!”
“PD! Please check the props here!”
“Uh-go.”
One side of the crazy set.
“hmm-”
Hong Hye-yeon, a top actress with her legs crossed, is looking down at her cell phone in the waiting room for actors. It was a rough shot of her. Her white skin was covered in scar makeup.
What Hong Hye-yeon sees is an article about the ‘disappearing island’.
-Sue.
Looking at her phone, she turned her head to the right. Baby Farmer Ryu Jung-min is reading the script.
“Brother, I heard that ‘The Island of the Missing’ has been confirmed?”
Ryu Jung-min, who was reading the script at the sudden question, narrowed his eyes.
“What is it all of a sudden?”
“No- only Woojin appeared in the articles on ‘The Island of Disappearance’. I wondered when my brother would come out.”
“Okay. The last time I heard it, they said they would unpack it little by little as slowly as possible. I don’t know exactly, but I’ll open the lid with Mr. You know what it feels like, you too.”
“Could you contact Woojin?”
“No, not yet. After all, the casting itself for the main cast of ‘The Island of Disappearance’ was confidential. Won’t Woojin know that I joined yet? did you tell me?”
“me? no?”
“why. Aren’t you close with Woojin? It’s the same agency.”
Ryu Jung-min, who was suspicious of something, suddenly smiled.
“Are you still upset with Woojin at the ‘Sports Day’? Wow – how narrow is that. Wasn’t that pictorial photo really confusing?”
“what. no it’s not?”
Around this time, Ryu Jung-min was called by PD Song Man-woo. Therefore, Hong Hye-yeon looked down at her phone again, and she searched for something else this time. It was related to Hwarin and Kang Woojin. In other words, ‘male friend’. The articles are pouring in quite a bit.
‘Looks like things are progressing smoothly.’
In fact, Hong Hye-yeon hadn’t seen Kang Woo-jin since the ‘Sports Day’ schedule, and didn’t contact him that much. It’s all about congratulations. On the other hand, she contacted Hwa-rin immediately after the ‘boyfriend relationship’ was confirmed.
Because she was madly curious.
‘Then, when you were drinking wine with me, you were bored, and then you suddenly cut one act?’
However, Hwarin’s answer was simple. ‘I don’t really have anything to do with Kang Woo-jin, the work was good’ is all. At first glance, it made sense, though.
‘Something… is strange.’
Hong Hye-yeon felt something uneasy. What she was, she had no contact with Kang Woo-jin and Hwarin. This can only be explained as a woman’s intuition. However, it was strange for her to blindly doubt or ask Hwarin.
About this.
“Oh, what am I doing?”
Hong Hye-yeon, who felt strangely deep in thought, shook her head.
‘It’s okay, don’t worry about it. Yes, I was just wondering if the project Kang Woo-jin chose would do well again. That’s it.’
Kang Woo-jin, who has a crazy sense of humor, chose ‘boyfriend’, and Hwarin suddenly joined. For some reason, it felt similar to ‘Heungshinso’. Hong Hye-yeon tried to comfort herself and deceived herself, saying that she was bothered by that similar feeling.
however.
“·······”
It was Hong Hye-yeon, who continued to derive vague but unknown emotions. She keeps thinking about it while thinking about it. There is also something uncomfortable about her chest. Nevertheless, Hong Hye-yeon continued to deny it.
Hong Hye-yeon, who was silent for a while.
-Sue.
Among his team gathered on the left, he called the manager team leader.
“manager.”
Soon, the skinny team leader who was talking with the stylists approached Hong Hye-yeon.
“Huh? why? What would you like to drink?”
“no. That… you know. Did Woojin-sshi and Yoon PD-nim say that a new variety show was confirmed?”
It was still a secret to the world that Kang Woo-jin joined PD Yoon Byung-seon’s new variety show, but there were quite a few rumors circulating inside bw entertainment. Of course, I was hesitant. That’s why Hong Hye-yeon heard it.
Whatever it was, the team leader nodded nonchalantly.
“Ah, yes, is that so? I heard you’re collecting promotional materials.”
“What about an outdoor bara (variety)?”
“well. I don’t think it’s openly an outdoor bar.”
“·······”
She was suddenly lost in thought. She asked the team leader if this seemed strange to her.
“why? suddenly.”
Hong Hye-yeon, who was looking around, said with a low voice.
“Shall I try that too?”
