I was immediately mistaken as a monster genius actor - Episode 375
'Columbia Studios' is like a huge amusement park with dozens of sets, the size of which can be called Hollywood's 'Big Five'. In fact, this magnificent film studio was one of LA's famous tourist attractions. Of course, the same applies to the ‘Big Five’ film companies, including ‘World Disney Pictures’..
Therefore, there were a lot of tourists in the section where there is currently no filming at 'Columbia Studio'..
However, even if it is an amusement park reminiscent of a city, 'Columbia Studios' clearly has main buildings, and film company employees are struggling in those buildings. Planning, production, or filming has been completed. Of course, there were more than one work to prepare..
Among them, ‘clown’ was included..
“Thank you for your effort.”
“Yes, see you again soon.”
“I will contact you.”
‘A meeting had just ended in a medium-sized conference room with posters of Columbia Studios' past hits and a number of foreigners visible..
Foreigners with business smiles shook hands and then some left the conference room. Now there are 7 people left in the conference room. Of course, they were the core members of ‘Clierot’. A woman who wants to be impressive. No, the executive producer of ‘Clierrot’, two executives including a man with a bald head, a man with short brown hair who is a caddy, and even team members..
finally.
“Director, what did you think??”
“Hmm - that actor is calmer than I thought..”
“Yes? Because he often plays mischievous characters, he has a cheerful image, but in reality, he is not very energetic..”
It was veteran director Ang Bok, wearing a slightly thick field jacket. He had recently participated in the production of 'Cierrot' and had just had a preliminary meeting with one of the candidate actors mentioned for the male lead role. Of course, the actor who just left was a top Hollywood actor. I just received confirmation regarding the audition and screen test. Soon, a brown short-haired caddy stepped in, lowering the tablet..
“There doesn't seem to be any major problems as he has experience, but there were still some weaknesses..”
executives agreed.
“Well, there was a little bit of fear in the conversation..”
“To begin with, I am a very close actor. A few years ago, I couldn't recover from the role, so I took a break for about a year.?”
“That's right, it's a fairly famous story around here. I have good acting concentration, but I go too deep and can't get out easily..”
“What happened back then may have remained a trauma..”
For reference, the preliminary meeting with actors that they hold may seem light at first glance, but it has many implications. It was safe to say it was a final inspection. Meeting and talking with actors is just a façade. Although various verifications and investigations have already been completed, the recent form, psychology, appearance, and personality of the actor in question have a strong 'final' character. Of course, this is also included in the score..
“But you recovered..”
“Can you say you have recovered? Since that incident, all your work has been comedy..”
Therefore, the core members of 'Clierot' thoroughly dissected the actor just now. I have no hesitation. At this time, coach Ahn Ga-bok, who was sweeping his wrinkled cheeks, spoke softly..
“······Although his work was nominated for our work because of his 'comedic' aspect, the comedy of 'Cierrot' is only a mask. In the end, the clarity of ‘tragedy’ is the key. It's a drawback that there is some risk..”
Most people nodded as his words were conveyed through an interpreter. Because you must have felt something like, ‘Really.’ Director Ga-bok Ang is the general director of ‘Cierrot’ and is an old man among old men. Obviously, the production systems in Korea and Hollywood were different, but in the process of adapting, I was looking at the movie 'Clierrot' more clearly than anyone else..
Around here.
-Sigh.
A female producer sitting next to director Anga Bok checked the time..
“It's almost the next turn..”
Caddies and executives touched the tablet in front of them. The actor displayed has changed.
“Kang Woo-jin is the most unique among the nominated actors..”
Among the nominated actors, Kang Woo-jin was the weakest in Hollywood..
“Did you get a call that it had arrived??”
“I'll check.”
After the caddy left the conference room, one of the executives, a bald-headed man, spoke again..
“He is the most confusing actor. Still, it seems like the best fit..”
“Well, the conditions are definitely different from other actors. The only Korean actor, short career, extraordinary moves. The acting style is also unique..”
“As the conditions are different, there is a lot to look at, especially the fact that the actor's career is short, which bothered me the whole time..”
“I have no experience in this Hollywood world..”
Executives and female producers with their arms folded began to excitedly evaluate Kang Woo-jin..
“On the contrary, the results that Woojin Kang posted in such a short period of time are amazing. Even in Hollywood, there are few actors who show that level of tension..”
“Hmm - this is my first time seeing him. The acting of ‘Leech’ was also fantastic. However, since this is my first experience in Hollywood, I might look a little nervous today..”
“It's no wonder I'm nervous.”
“Hollywood may be unfamiliar to you, but as a Korean actor, there will also be the burden of being the ‘first’..”
“But he seemed calm during his acceptance speech at Cannes.?”
“It might have been better back then, since I would have won an award at a Korean film festival..”
The bitter conversations that continue before even seeing Kang Woo-jin. On the other hand, although English is good, ask an employee for interpretation for clarity..
“······”
Veteran director Gabok Ang just listened in silence. To be precise, I held back a smile. Because I was the only one in this conference room who knew Kang Woo-jin well, and the words like ‘tension’ and ‘burden’ in their conversation were funny..
‘He's a guy who uses Khan as a stepping stone. Does he have the guts to do something like that?.’
Kang Woo-jin, who director Ahn Ga-bok had seen so far, was a man who would not be a big deal even if he suddenly fell into space. But he didn't really participate in the conversation..
‘What you experience firsthand is what will last a long time in your memory..’
it was intentional.
It was to present an absurd new world to these arrogant and foolish foreigners who had not yet experienced Kang Woo-jin. Here, the female producer asked director Angabok:.
“In your opinion, what kind of actor is Kang Woo-jin?.”
In fact, the producers and executives of 'Clierrot' avoided director Anga Bok's intentions regarding Kang Woo-jin. Since we are both Korean and have been watching Woojin since 'Leech', there is a possibility that there will be a biased evaluation. It was unnecessary in this process where fairness is the key..
Nevertheless, the reason the producer asked the question was to gauge how much director Ahn Ga-bok thought of Kang Woo-jin..
Director Ang Bok rubbed his chin..
well. how should i explain him?
‘‘Noppakku’? ‘Fuck my way’? ‘Arrogant monster’? Many words passed by, but director Ang Bok decided on simplicity..
“geezer. Kang Woo-jin is a weirdo..”
geezer? While the female producers and executives slightly tilted their heads at the answer given,.
‘You're a weirdo-’
I came to a conclusion on my own.
‘I guess it's a little unusual..’
It was a wrong answer.
At the same time, outside the conference room.
A van was driving on the road inside ‘Columbia Studios’, which was huge like an amusement park..
-Squeak.
I stood in front of a large building. It can be seen as the heart of 'Columbia Studio', and is where many practical decisions are made. A cynical Kang Woo-jin got out of the van that stopped at a place where many foreigners still come and go. Choi Seong-geon, the ponytail that follows him.
Following.
-Sigh.
Woojin's expression didn't change much as he looked at the tall building in front. Because that's how I really felt.
‘Something - the main headquarters building is boring.?’
Although the beige-toned building was tall, what I saw on the way here was so amazing that I was not impressed by the building that was actually the headquarters. Still, it was nice to see foreigners moving around in a hurry..
What can I say.
‘Wow, that guy has a mustache.!’
Does it have a lot of personality? Anyway, Seong-geon Choi, who was behind, said to Woo-jin Kang:.
“Let's go, if you go to the lobby, a staff member will appear right away..”
“Yes, Mr. Representative..”
Kang Woo-jin and Choi Seong-geon, who answered in low voices, had just stepped onto the stairs leading to the entrance of the building..
“uh?”
Choi Seong-geon looked upward and paused. At the same time, Kang Woo-jin also raised his head. I see a foreign man who has just come out of the building. But the force was extraordinary..
There.
‘ok?? What is that guy that kills the mood? I feel like I've seen this before somewhere..’
It was also a fairly familiar face. Woojin shook her head while maintaining a poker face. Where did you see it? There was no way he had any foreign friends. And this is Hollywood’s largest film studio, ‘Columbia Studios’. Then there was only one answer.
‘Hollywood actor?? That's right! actor!’
It felt exactly like that. I don't have much interest in Hollywood, so I don't remember his name, but I know that he is very famous both here and in Korea. At this point, I forgot the title of the movie, but the scene where that Hollywood actor appeared was Kang Woo-jin. It was definitely a huge hit movie..
at the same time.
“Hey - it's definitely 'Columbia Studios'. It's so easy to see a super top Hollywood actor like him.?”
Seong-geon Choi let out a small exclamation..
In fact, there was no one who did not know that Hollywood male actor coming down the stairs. Here, beyond LA, and across America. It has tier 1 recognition worldwide, including in Korea. Would she be similar to Miley Cara just as an actress? Therefore, there were many foreigners around him. He could be a member of his team, he could be a 'Columbia Studios' employee..
It was Kang Woo-jin, whose curiosity amplified immediately..
-Zech.
In times like these, I had to look more dignified..
‘Pretend not to see.’
Kang Woo-jin, who started acting strong, pretended not to be interested and climbed the stairs again. Choi Seong-gun, who was watching the Hollywood actor for a moment, also came to his senses and moved his feet. In just a few steps, the Hollywood actor and Kang Woo-jin became closer. If she stretched out her arm, they could touch it, but Woojin didn't even give her a glance..
this moment.
“That's right too.”
A Hollywood male actor who was passing by Kang Woo-jin stopped. Then he suddenly spoke to Woojin. Of course it was English.
“I know you, Kang Woo-jin. Korean actor. Which made Khan very noisy. He wasn't there, but he saw the video. Congratulations to Cannes for Best Actor!.”
He had just finished a preliminary meeting for ‘Cierrot’ and was one of six candidates. He smiles leisurely. Pigtail Choi Seong-geon flinched in surprise. Kang Woo-jin, who had a poker face, was inwardly expressing admiration..
‘It's crazy, it's awesome.’
He was taller than Kang Woo-jin, and his brown hair was naturally slicked back. The facial features are clear, but the eyes are especially stunning. Should I say that the dark brown eyes are alluring? Anyway, this is a mask you can never see in Korea. The Hollywood actor gave off an aura that made you think he was a top star..
Thanks to this, the attention of those around me was focused..
After hearing the Hollywood actor's words, team members and foreigners around him looked at Kang Woo-jin and started whispering..
“Best Actor at Cannes? Then that man is Kang Woo-jin?”
“Is that the Korean actor who said in his acceptance speech that he was aiming for an Academy Award??”
“I think it's true, I saw it in Miley Cara's music video.”
“Are you sure? But why is that actor in LA??”
There was a strange atmosphere, but Kang Woo-jin, who had a strong sense of concept, first turned to a Hollywood actor. Woojin then answered him in low English..
“congratulations thank you.”
“I also liked the song I did with Miley. I saw it in the video, but you speak English well.. ”
“I can communicate moderately..”
“Haha, is that so??”
At this moment, Seong-Geon Choi wanted to take a picture of the scene in front of him right away. Among many foreigners, the appearance of top Hollywood actors and Kang Woo-jin looked very natural..
‘A top like that greets our Woojin casually.!’
Soon, the Hollywood actor held out his hand to Kang Woo-jin with a smile..
“Woojin, you are quite famous among actors here, nice to meet you..”
Kang Woo-jin held his hand..
“Nice to meet you.”
“However, my acceptance speech for the Academy Award was a bit harsh, and my fellow actors were quite offended. Because it sounded like they were ignoring the Academy Awards. It's good to be confident, but if you have too much, it looks excessive..”
He muttered comfortably, then took a step closer while holding Woojin's hand and whispered..
“I heard that Woojin is a candidate actor for ‘Clierrot’, and so am I. But I have no intention of giving this movie to another actor..”
“······”
Woojin, who heard his whisper, tilted his head inwardly. Because it was a bit unexpected. Does my image look a little bad here? Even a big Hollywood star said it out loud. What? Is it something like suppressing the momentum? To be honest, Woojin was the top star in Hollywood, whom I knew nothing about other than Miley Kara..
Hollywood is vast.
There are so many towers and they have so many different characteristics. There is no way that everyone is as favorable to Woojin as Miley Kara. No, as of now, most of Hollywood's top stars probably have bad feelings toward Kang Woo-jin..
Whether it was rumor or fact, their acceptance speech at Cannes must have been absorbed into them..
In the eyes of the top Hollywood stars, Woojin is just an Asian actor who somehow got lucky and won the Best Actor award at Cannes and made a name for himself in a small country..
Then, unlike Woojin, a world-famous Hollywood actor whispered again..
“I don't know why 'Columbia Studios' chose you as a candidate, but this Hollywood is going to be harder than you can imagine..”
After finishing speaking, he walked away from Woojin a little and smiled leisurely again. He was still holding hands with Kang Woo-jin..
“See you later. I hope to see you at another project, Woojin..”
I tried to let go of my joined hands. however.
-Zech.
Woojin didn’t let go. Woojin's face was filled with rough indifference as he put a little pressure on his hand. Because the ‘Beast Transformation’ ability has been raised..
Next, Kang Woo-jin, who had the attention of many foreigners, spoke in a low tone of English to the Hollywood actor..
“By the way, what is your name??”
end
