I was immediately mistaken as a monster genius actor - Episode 359

Director Danny Landis is always mentioned as one of Hollywood's greatest masters. In fact, he sat in his office filled with reams of scripts and other papers to see what was interesting before calling his famous producer Joseph Felton..

-Sigh.

He alternately looks at the tablet and the thin stacks of paper. What he was staring at, with his head half bald and round glasses on the tip of his nose, was data. The tablet was sent by Joseph, and the thin paper was researched by Director Danny himself. The content contains the footsteps of an actor..

“······Kang Woo-jin – That’s absurd..”

He became a legend at Cannes and won the Best Actor Award, and was the only man to receive praise for his acting from director Danny. It was information about Korean actor Kang Woo-jin. Director Danny Landis had been thinking about Kang Woo-jin even after returning to Hollywood from Cannes..

Because his appearance, his acting, and his aura never left my mind..

however.

“It's really absurd..”

When I looked at Kang Woo-jin's materials, my strange interest grew even more. Director Danny has been in Hollywood for at least several decades. The Hollywood actors he passed by were amazing, but the footsteps Woojin walked were very unfamiliar, at least in the eyes of director Danny..

“The 2nd year since debut was real - what are these abilities??”

Compared to the past, many things have been added to Kang Woo-jin's data..

Even though it has only been two years since debut, not a single work has failed so far. Is that it? Within a year, he took on the lead role alongside Korean greats and swept the Rookie of the Year and Supporting Actor awards in the first year. From entering Japan to his YouTube channel and social media, etc. In addition, Kang Woo-jin's various language skills can be seen in numerous articles and videos circulating around..

“···Not only French and English, but also Japanese and sign language.”

Vocal, piano, and cooking skills also stood out. In addition to this, Kang Woo-jin was such a monster that it is difficult to mention them all. He even swept Cannes recently. Up to this point, it was far beyond aliens, but what director Danny considered the most important thing about Kang Woo-jin was his acting..

A form in which the characters created by the director and writer seem to break out of the mold and run around in real life..

‘One step further than the method.’

Director Danny put down the materials he had been looking at and recalled the past..

When I was in Cannes.

A place to eat with executives from the ‘Universal Movies’ film company before the closing and awards ceremony. The person who started the conversation was a man with a big belly among the executives of 'Universal Movies'..

“The movie just now was also of a high standard. As expected, ‘leeches’ cannot leave my mind..”

Other executives agreed..

“Because it was a work that was far beyond expectations. Plus, the actors' acting was good, and in my opinion, it's the best of the 'competitive' works so far..”

“There are still a lot of movies to watch, but for me too, 'Leech' has the upper hand. What Joseph said was true. Kang Woo-jin's main ability was method acting, and 'action' was one of his secondary abilities..”

“Kang Woo-jin’s ‘action’ was also surprising..”

Director Danny reacted to the words 'Kang Woo-jin' and 'action'.

“‘action'? Listening to your conversation... it sounds as if you were watching Kang Woo-jin's filming.?”

“Ah, that's right. We came to see Kang Woo-jin's filming site before coming to Cannes..”

“···Is that actor Kang Woo-jin even capable of action??”

“It's not possible, it's safe to say he's a veteran..”

The exaggerated executive continued..

“If you're from special forces, it's totally possible..”

Director Danny Landis narrowed his eyebrows and turned into an absurd face..

‘for a moment. Special forces? What does this all mean??’

Special forces? That Kang Woo-jin?

Here, director Danny Landis returns his thoughts to reality, his office. Then, after being lost in thought for a few dozen minutes, he called Joseph Felton. Director Danny had a certain confidence on his face..

“Hello, director. I was just about to call you..”

Director Danny got straight to the point to Joseph over the phone..

“Joseph, I'll be the director of that production. Instead, there is a condition.”

“······condition?”

The conditions were very simple.

“The premise is that Kang Woo-jin is in that work, and if they can't bring him in, I'll reject it too..”

Afterwards.

Kang Woo-jin, who brought up 'Jang Yeon-woo' on the set of 'Beneficial Evil', took a break. Before you know it, it’s lunch. From here, about 100 staff members, including Woojin, eat for about an hour. In any case, in terms of time, it has been a few hours since 'Leech', which was announced for its first release this morning, was shown in theaters nationwide..

Kang Woo-jin sits in an actor's chair on the outskirts of a crowded filming site..

-Sigh.

‘After eating, I'll rest for a while in the other room and start filming again..’

A big man named Jang Soo-hwan was attached to him..

“older brother! Thank you for your hard work!”

He delivers a tablet along with a bottle of bottled water. The tablet was requested by Kang Woo-jin. why? The intention is to check the reaction to 'Leech', which was released today, and 'The Unfamiliar Parasite', which was released yesterday. I could have watched it on my phone, but the screen was small so it took a lot of work. It was time for Woojin to give a low answer..

“uh, thank you.”

A familiar female voice came from the side..

“Mr. Woojin.”

When I looked, Hwarin with spots under her eyes was approaching. Her normally long, chest-length hair suddenly became shorter below her ears. Even the scattered hairs looked as if they had been struck by lightning. Although it was a wig, it was quite natural and not noticeable..

Woojin, who had a serious poker face, answered politely,.

“Yes, Hwarin..”

Inside, I was making a fuss..

‘Wow, I saw this before and it’s still absurd to see again. Even with that haircut, your face supports it, so even with that haircut, you're a respectable person. Does it make sense??’

Hwarin even openly destroyed the image of a first-tier girl group. Currently, her makeup has darkened her skin tone and the jacket she is wearing has also become darker. It's almost like a ruined person. Is this an unprecedented transformation? Nevertheless, perhaps because of her fundamental beauty, it was still appropriate to call her pretty..

Hwarin asked Kang Woo-jin, who was sitting there..

“Have you seen what the situation is like with the released movies??”

Woojin, without guard, held the tablet small..

“I'd like to see it now.”

“Hmm - can we watch it together? Anyway, I still have some left to prepare the meal..”

“It doesn't matter.”

“yes.”

Although Hwa-rin tried to answer calmly, her heart beat violently every time she was with Kang Woo-jin. It was similar in the past, but recently, it has become several times worse, perhaps because Woojin's status as a fan of virtue has greatly increased..

‘Food - Is it okay if I ask you to eat together? It was natural enough. Yeah, good job..’

Hwa- rin, who praised herself in her mind, pulled out a chair and sat down next to Kang Woo-jin. Then, while focusing her gaze on the tablet he was holding, she asked vaguely:.

“Ah, but Mr. Woojin. I'm very close with Miley Cara.?”

suddenly? Kang Woo-jin tilted his head inwardly but gave a general answer..

“Moderately. why are you like this?”

“···yes? No, just. Because you've been getting involved a lot lately. I also DM often.?”

“I do come.”

“amazing.”

“What.”

“No, just. Look at the reactions to the movie.”

Although it felt uncomfortable, Kang Woo-jin didn't think anything of it and touched the tablet a few times. 'Unfamiliar Parasite', which was released a day earlier yesterday, came before 'Leech'. It attracted a whopping 850,000 viewers on the first day of release. Japanese media was half crazy.

『「“Familiar Gisaeng” attracted 850,000 viewers on the first day of release.』

『How long has it been since a non-animated film achieved this level of success? “The Stranger” started with 850,000 on the first day.』

『「Influenced by “Kang Woo-jin,” “The Strange Sacrifice of a Stranger” set a record with 850,000 viewers on its opening day.!』

『“Unfamiliar Parasite,” which was confidently released despite numerous controversies, had explosive momentum with 850,000 viewers, contrary to industry concerns.』

As Hwarin is the leader of the girl group Elani, which is frequently active in Japan, she was quite fluent in Japanese. She opened her mouth as she comfortably checked the articles that were all in Japanese..

“Awesome, it's so crazy?”

However, not all articles praised 'The Unfamiliar Gisaeng's' first day record. There was a lot of content that was thoroughly criticized..

『The setting of 'Kiyoshi Iyota', the main character of the movie "The Familiar Gisaeng", has been destroyed, and the main character of the original has almost disappeared... Novel fans are full of dissatisfaction』

『A sharp message from director Kyotaro Tanokuchi to the Japanese content market? Audiences were taken aback by the shocking ending of the movie “Familiar”』

Hwarin, who had been reading extremely negative articles, glanced at Kang Woo-jin's expression. His expression was extremely stiff. A face that doesn't waver at all. Hwarin felt a sense of relief and stability when she saw Kang Woo-jin, who was always distracted..

‘There doesn't seem to be much damage. Well, there’s no way Woojin could get excited about something personal like this..’

Wrong, right now Kang Woo-jin was quite upset inside..

‘These bastards are so talkative. Shiva, how is my acting ruining the movie? You idiots! Fuck you.!’

But that's it. Kang Woo-jin, who quickly changed to the mindset that it was none of my business, moved his fingers again. I turned on the page of a search site with different reviews from Japanese 'unfamiliar parasites'. At a glance, there was a fierce battle between favorable and negative reviews..

-I just saw it for no reason! First of all, I didn't like Kiyoshi because he was a Korean in Japan.!!

-That's right, the director killed Kiyoshi from the original to cast Kang Woo-jin.

-I've seen both the original and the movie, but did you enjoy it? Kang Woo-jin's acting was enough to give me goosebumps.

- You messed up the original work! There were too many adaptations and modifications! And it was crueler and crueler than I thought.

- well? In fact, the original Strange Gisaeng has some sections that are a bit ordinary, and on the contrary, the movie Strange Gisaeng feels like it brings Japan's social problems to the surface.

It was muddy.

-The movie Stranger is trash!!!

-Director Kyotaro has gone senile! Denied all Japanese content! No matter what, the main character has to get paid.!

- To be honest, if you just look at the acting, didn't you only see Kang Woo-jin in the movie Familiar? The multiple personality-like acting and piano scenes in the beginning were truly outstanding.

-Why... did they use a Korean actor for Stranger Things? Even after watching the movie, I still don't understand....

-The movie The Stranger will probably do better in Korea than in Japan.

-Isn’t the ending crazy? It’s completely different from the original.!!

- The ending of the movie Stranger Things was really... scary... it was a murder with a reason, but living without anything happened was.......

Literally on the verge of explosion. It was safe to say that it was an online disaster. There were a lot of rave reviews, but what was more noticeable was the grumbling, backlash, and extreme cursing. This was the same pattern not only on Japanese portal sites, but also on famous SNS and numerous communities. This side is like this, but it was obvious that even without looking at it, the fans on that side, including the hard-core fans of the original 'Familiar,' would be dozens of times more excited..

As a result, various Japanese media and.

『85“Unfamiliar Gisaeng” set a record with 10,000 viewers, but the strong outcry from moviegoers is sky-high... Speculation is that the number of viewers will gradually decline.』

More than half of public opinion gave similar evaluations.

- It's the Beginning. There is a lot of interest due to various controversies, including Kang Woo-jin's, but the movie The Stranger will soon fail.!

The movie ‘Familiar’ is getting worse day by day..

At this time, Hwarin looked at Kang Woojin again. It was because of the bloody Japanese media and public opinion. However, Kang Woo-jin was quiet this time too. It was a look that made me feel relaxed..

It was real this time.

‘Hmph, damn it. You guys are the only ones barking at me..’

I thought the Japanese reaction was stronger than I expected. However, there was no major blow to Kang Woo-jin. Then, Kang Woo-jin lowered the tablet he was looking at and spoke softly to Hwarin..

“Let's eat.”

“to?”

“Meal.”

Anyway, 'Familiar Gisaeng' is higher than 'Island of the Missing', which broke Korea's previous record..

-[7/Scenario (Title: Strange Sacrifice), SSS level]

Because it was SSS level.

One day later, on the morning of Thursday the 28th.

Director Gabok Ang was in a van moving somewhere. His face was full of wrinkles, and his expression was very serious as he looked out the window..

“······”

At this time, the CEO of the film company sitting next to him spoke politely..

“Director, the announcement was just made..”

“is it? pussy.”

A cell phone handed to director Gabok Ang. Soon, director Ahn Ga-bok saw the shame of the work that earned him the Palme d'Or..

[2021View the number of viewers on October 27, 2018]

[Daily domestic box office]

1. Leech / Release date: October 27 / Number of viewers: 780,521 / Number of screens: 1354 / Cumulative number of viewers: 780,521

‘‘Leech’ also exceeded the number of viewers on the first day of ‘Island of the Missing’..

same time.

As if a 'leech' on the Korean side had taken over the baton, an official announcement was made in Japan, which is shaken by the nuclear bomb being dropped..

『「The total number of viewers on the 27th for “Unfamiliar Gisaeng” was 880,000, an increase from yesterday.!』

Strangely enough, it seems that the complaints and concerns of many Japanese media and public opinion are nothing..

『Hot 「Unfamiliar」 attracted 880,000 viewers, up from 850,000 on the second day, surpassing 1.73 million on the second day』

‘The number of viewers for 'Familiar Gisaeng' increased compared to the first day of release..

Meanwhile, New York.

Unlike Korea, where it was morning, it was afternoon in New York. It was rush hour, so downtown New York was filled with people and cars on their way home from work. Among the many towering buildings in the city, the New York press office, a very large building occupying an entire tall building, was brightly lit. A large number of foreigners were seen leaving work at the entrance, but there were also many reporters still working in the media office..

Among them, in an office in charge of culture and entertainment with numerous desks, a female reporter was organizing her desk as if she was about to leave work..

-Sigh.

Around that time, a female reporter with long hair and a perm woke up, leaving her messy desk behind..

“Peggy.”

A male voice chimed in from the side. I looked to the side and saw a man with a square chin and a hat approaching. He suddenly put his butt on the female reporter's desk and said,.

“I know that Myla Kara is appearing in a Korean production.?”
