I was immediately mistaken as a monster genius actor - Episode 348
Kang Woo-jin's low voice resonates at the closing and awards ceremony of the magnificent Cannes Film Festival. His face was silent, calm and cool. It's hard to see Khan as Korea's first man..
The remarks he made in Korean to the audience, world film industry giants, and reporters from around the world were as follows:.
“I got a house in LA, so I'll be looking for that next year..”
It was no different from a declaration of war. The target this time was the world..
This was clearly a statement that could cause a global uproar. But Kang Woo-jin was nothing special. No, she had to pretend. When it comes to concept work, every moment is a battlefield, and there is no way you can go backwards anyway. Moreover, Kang Woo-jin's current state on stage at Cannes was quite hectic on the inside, despite his cool-headed appearance..
So, as usual, as always, I only think about the concept..
‘‘Fuck my way’, with a little bit of courtesy added to it..
“You can watch it again this time..”
The wide eyes of the interpreter next to Woojin, who was calmly speaking, expanded several times more. It was definitely worth it. You wouldn't have known that he would suddenly challenge the world. On the other hand, there was no immediate reaction from the host on stage, the 10 judges, dozens of reporters in front, Cannes' broadcast team, and thousands of big names in the audience..
It was natural because there was no interpreter..
“L.A.? I thought you just said LA..”
“Yeah, that definitely included LA..”
The foreign reporters who were whispering took pictures of Kang Woo-jin. Thousands of spectators tilted their heads or stared at Kang Woo-jin, waiting for his interpretation. Meanwhile, Korean comments are going crazy on YouTube Live, which is broadcasting Khan live..
-I can't believe it even though I'm seeing it with my own eyes
-But why does Kang Woo-jin speak so well??????
-That's right hahaha Kang Woo-jin, why is he so good at French??
-It's important right now that Kang Woo-jin won the Best Actor award at Cannes.
-Praise me for holding on without sleeping!!!
-Wow... I'm tired of Kang Woo-jin's promotion of national prestige.
-Kang Woo-jin’s French pronunciation is crazy
-why do you like me??
-Master!! Bring me a bowl of soup!!!!
-No, it was possible to win the Best Actor award at Cannes just 2 years after debut.
-creeps...
-I'll be in Korea or there tomorrow to hell haha.
-congratulations!!

Although there were only a very small number of people in the audience at Cannes, there were some who immediately reacted after hearing Woojin's Korean comments. It was the ‘leech’ team. Director Anga Bok, with short gray hair, smiled and rubbed his chin..
“I mean Hollywood, I mean the Academy Awards. Yeah, I'll be sad if that distribution doesn't come out. Anyway, Khan was just a stepping stone..”
Shim Shim-ho, who recalled Kang Woo-jin from last year's Blue Dragon Film Festival, chimed in..
“I was secretly looking forward to it, but he spoke so calmly and without any nervousness..”
“I don't care about what comes next.”
“Or are you confident of winning the Best Actor award next year?.”
“Both, both. But I'm not bragging. Look at that guy’s strong face. I'm full of confidence.”
“He was the first Korean to win Best Actor at Cannes. He must have that kind of spirit..”
“haha. This is it, there comes a day when you fall behind.”
“I need to work hard.”
Director Ahn Ga-bok seemed to be enjoying himself, and great actor Shin Shim-ho was relaxed even though he had just been overtaken by a distant junior. The look in his eyes as if he was going to receive it next year. Jin Jae-jun and Han So-jin couldn't help but be shocked with their mouths wide open, and Oh Hee-ryeong, with an elegant smile, muttered softly..
“Good shot - Tomorrow, not only Korea but the world will be excited.?”
Eyes of anticipation rather than worry. Next, director Anga Bok crossed his legs while looking at Woojin on stage..
“Well, if this happens, I'm off..”
The answer was given by Sim Sim-ho, who seemed to understand what director Ahn Ga-bok said..
“······‘He won the Best Actor award for ‘Leech’..”
“Well, it means that no other statues of 'leeches' will be called in this room anymore..”
There are many rules for the Cannes Film Festival, which has a long tradition, but what director Anga Bok said now was the rule that 'only one major award can be given to a work.' If a work in the 'competition category' wins the 'Director Award', that's it..
In other words, 'Leech' means that the award has just ended with Kang Woo-jin's 'Best Actor Award'..
Of course, looking back on the past of the Cannes Film Festival, there was a time when a film in the 'competition section' won multiple major awards. However, that was in the early 2000s, and there has not been a single award-winning work in 20 years. It's a shame, but director Ang Bok didn't seem to care at all..
“But it's more than enough. Because 'Leech', Woojin wrote a new history in Cannes. It's the same for Korea's first time. This is enough, this is enough.”
Rather, the wrinkled smile became deeper..
“For my 100th work, it’s a luxury..”
Around here.
-Sigh.
Woojin, with an indifferent face, began to translate his feelings into French. In addition, many of the headphones in the audience heard it in English. Soon, reporters, broadcasting teams, and thousands of viewers also recognized Kang Woo-jin's declaration of war. First of all, most eyes got big..
“What, what??”
“Aiming for that - does that mean the Academy Awards??”
“That might be a little controversial..”
“It's cocky rather than gutsy. It's true that Cannes is great, but suddenly it's the Academy Awards..”
“Well, aren’t you saying those feelings too casually???”
“It doesn't seem like something that immediately came to mind, right? Doing it without a hitch like that means you've been prepared..”
“······I had prepared such a declaration-of-war sentiment in advance.?”
Murmurs and murmurs spread throughout the hall..
“Well, that actor speaks French very well.?”
“that's right. Have you been staying here??”
“Look at the pronunciation, I lived in France.”
“There was no such information at all..”
“You came to study abroad.”
“Ah, did you learn acting here??”
Embarrassment, bewilderment, shock, surprise, wonder, shock, etc. Different emotions and feelings are similar to the faces of thousands of great people..
The strange thing is.
“Kang Woo-jin is a very unique actor. But can I handle it like this??”
“Today’s acceptance speech will follow me for the rest of my life..”
70% The audience members above showed obvious bewilderment, but the rest of the audience had a strangely opposite reaction. A nod of approval, a faint smile, expectant eyes, or a look of support. The reason was simple.
Because they saw 'leeches'.
‘Because I witnessed Kang Woo-jin's acting in 'Leech', his declaration of war did not feel like an immature attack or a strong-willed act..
‘The performance that overwhelmed Khan is enough to be popular in Hollywood..’
‘If the work is good, an Academy Award is not impossible..’
‘If there is potential for further growth in that acting, it is possible..’
At this time. Kang Woo-jin gave his acceptance speech to the bustling hall..
“My parents, younger brother, friends, and colleagues who believed in and supported me, coaches and staff who helped me a lot, agency CEO and employees, and even fans. Thank you, I will share this moment with everyone..”
He concluded his remarks in a low tone..
“Thank you once again for being able to stand in this honored position..”
Kang Woo-jin immediately begins interpreting in French. Around this time, a big Hollywood director is in the audience. In other words, director Danny Landis was laughing a little..
“He even has a strong mentality. It doesn't make sense that it's been 2 years, after all, there must have been something in the past before debut..”
And I got greedy.
“Star power, the power to attract people. I actually want to take that actor to the Academy Awards..”
The blonde Kara covered her mouth with one hand and held back a shiver..
‘How many men can purely express their desires on this big stage without worrying about their own image? Academy Award - That actor will definitely show up.’
Expectations were also exploding in the eyes of Hollywood figures such as Joseph and Meghan. Meanwhile, people everywhere in the audience were busy whispering and recalling difficult-to-understand words from Kang Woo-jin's remarks..
“You said you won the Rookie of the Year award last year, right? That means that as soon as he received the Rookie of the Year Award, he received the Leading Actor Award at Cannes this year.?”
“······oh my god.”
“Has it been a while since you debuted??”
“no way. It's been a long time since I debuted, but I guess it's only recently that I've been in the spotlight..”
Soon, Woojin, holding the trophy for Best Actor at the lectern, greeted the audience..
-Zech.
at the same time.
-Clap clap clap clap!
Dozens of people sitting in the audience gave a standing ovation again. it's contagious.
-Clap clap clap clap clap clap.!
Most of the thousands of spectators stood up from their seats and applauded. Of course, there were quite a few people who were genuinely happy, but there were still more who were absurd or puzzled. However, I feel like I just follow the atmosphere..
-Clap clap clap clap clap clap.!
The hall applauds as they leave. Kang Woo-jin calmly walks off the stage. Immediately, several cameras from Cannes' broadcasting team were attached, and dozens of foreign reporters followed, clicking their shutters. In the eyes of the media, it was a 100% scoop. The first Korean actor to win Best Actor at Cannes, his unusual acceptance speech.
-baba baba bak!
Thunderous applause and a barrage of flashes. But Kang Woo-jin’s silent expression did not change..
“······”
I just calmly move to my seat. Well, I was making a fuss inside..
‘Wow - is it finished?? It's over, right? There is no God of Shiva! I don't even remember what I did! I don't know, let's sit down first. I really want to rest.’
Kang Woo-jin, who had a strong sense of concept, managed to sit down in his seat, and the 'Leech' team congratulated him again as if he had been waiting. Of course, the attention of thousands of viewers around him was still focused on Kang Woo-jin. It was at this time that Jin Jae-jun, a top actor in Korea, spoke cautiously..
“Will I be able to see the Best Actor trophy once??”
Without any particular surprise, Kang Woo-jin opened the box. Jin Jae-jun and Han So-jin exclaimed..
“Oh oh-”
“Wow...this is it.”
Shin Shim-ho, who is reminiscent of a tiger, also glanced at the trophy with a serious expression. At this time, director Ahn Ga-bok, with a smile on his face, gave an old voice to Kang Woo-jin..
“Tomorrow, the world will be shaken by your sentiments, and half of them may even attack you. But it doesn't matter at all?”
Kang Woo-jin answered calmly..
“No problem.”
Meanwhile, Korea.
In the afternoon, the closing and awards ceremonies were in full swing in Cannes, France, but in Korea, after 4:30 in the morning, an earthquake was occurring. It was a media story. Most of the domestic media outlets that were waiting were frantically publishing articles..
『[Breaking News] Kang Woo-jin wins Best Actor Award at Cannes International Film Festival/ Photo』
『[1Bo] 'Kang Woo-jin did it!' Winner of Best Actor Award at Cannes Film Festival for ‘Leech’』
While the Cannes Film Festival is underway, articles with similar titles are pouring in like crazy every second..
『[Star Photo] Cannes and Korea's first Korean actor to win Best Actor! Woojin Kang conveys his thoughts in fluent French/Photo』
『‘2Year 1' Kang Woo-jin made history...Korea's first Cannes Film Festival Best Actor Award』
『Are you even good at French? ‘Legend’ Kang Woo-jin, the first Korean to receive the ‘Best Actor Award’, gives his acceptance speech in native French/Photo』
Kang Woo-jin's name was overflowing not only on the three domestic portal sites, but also on SNS, numerous communities, and YouTube..
『'Kang Woo-jin', the first Korean to win Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival, had an unusual acceptance speech this time too! “Aiming for Hollywood next year”』
『‘‘Monster actor’ Kang Woo-jin mentioned last year’s ‘Blue Dragon Film Festival’ in his thoughts, “I will buy a house in LA and aim for the Academy Award for Best Actor.””』
Even though it was early in the morning, the media and public opinion were showing firepower that bordered on madness. Beyond promoting national prestige, Kang Woo-jin wrote a new history globally..
Even just two years after appearing in the Korean entertainment industry..
If it was like this at this early hour, it was obvious that a few hours later in the morning, the fire would be dozens of times bigger than this. In fact, the news teams of many domestic broadcasting stations are busy running from early in the morning..
“The data came over!! data material!!”
“Here you go!!!”
“Kang Woo-jin’s acceptance speech video!! French included!!”
“Editing!”
“The local reporter!!”
“I've been contacted!”
Because we had to broadcast the news of Kang Woo-jin, who wrote the legend, as a morning news scoop..
“Is this the only picture you have?!! Bring something a little clearer!”
“yes yes!!”
“No time! Get ready quickly!! There is no more issue related to ‘leeches’ at Cannes.?!”
“There won't be! I already won the Best Actor award, so if the rules go by, I can't win another award.!”
“okay!! In the morning, we featured Kang Woo-jin winning the Best Actor Award at Cannes! Spend some time after the closing and awards ceremony at lunch! Kang Woo-jin's interview, I'm going to follow it no matter what.!!”
“I'll pass it on!”
Seconds, minutes. As time passed, Kang Woo-jin's name piled up endlessly in Korea online and offline..
About 45 minutes passed like that??
As Korea became more and more excited, the conference room of the official film company of 'Leech' was reminiscent of a wild party..
“Wow!! Woojin Kang! Woojin Kang!!”
“it's okay!! Done!! This remains an issue not only in Korea but also in the world.!!”
“Articles are already pouring in like crazy.!!”
“Good good!! Get in touch with the local Kan!! As soon as the closing and awards ceremony was over, I picked up Woojin’s phone call.!!”
“We will also promote the release of Japanese and French films.!”
“of course!!”
Excluding those in Cannes, the executives of the remaining 'leeches' film studios and distribution companies in Korea appear to be half crazy. They were all gathered at dawn to watch the live broadcast of the Cannes Film Festival on a large TV. Of course, it was like this from the moment Kang Woo-jin was named Best Actor..
“Talk to the making team over there! As soon as the awards ceremony is over, tell Woojin to join you!! I told them to include everything they could, from Woojin’s commemorative photo to the interview and after-party! It is imperative to secure the original video.!”
“All right!!”
“What the hell! You must take 100 full and bust shots of Woojin holding the Best Actor trophy!! I also asked Woojin about French.!”
Of course, at this moment, the closing and awards ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival was being played live on the TV installed in front of the conference room. The French director who had just won the second prize had just finished his acceptance speech, and now it was time for the final prize, the Palme d'Or, at the Cannes Film Festival..
However, executives from film companies and distribution companies in this conference room did not pay much attention..
Because they also knew the rules of the Cannes Film Festival well. The 'leech' that has already produced the 'Best Actor' award will no longer be called a 'leech'. So right now, Kang Woo-jin has to be the main character. If they won the awards at the same time, the whole world would be shocked, but everyone knew that wouldn't happen..
“But is Woojin’s acceptance speech okay? I think it was a bit harsh..”
“What do you think!! Thanks to you, it caused an uproar all over the world!! I'm rather thankful!!”
It was at this time.
- [“I am delighted to announce the glorious 'Palme d'Or' of the 74th Cannes Film Festival. Well, this year's Cannes is very unexpected..”]
While everyone was distracted, an actress among the 10 judges at the Cannes Film Festival announced the 'Palme d'Or' award on the large TV in front of the conference room..
-[“Congratulations!! This year’s ‘Palme d’Or’ at Cannes!! 'leech’!!!”]
At that moment, all the movements and words of the executives at the film company and distribution company of 'Leech' stopped. And then everyone looked at the TV with faces as if they were fascinated by something..
“······uh? What did you just say-”
The TV was filled with director Anga Bok's surprised face..
