I was immediately mistaken as a monster genius actor - Episode 381
‘‘World Disney Pictures’ boasts an enormous fandom not only in Korea but also around the world. The scale was unspeakable, regardless of age, gender, or nationality. There are so many representative animation movies and so many popular characters. Of course, those characters are still loved even after decades have passed..
They were the power and driving force of ‘World Disney Pictures’..
Therefore, when a new anime movie or sequel came out, fans from all over the world flocked to it. Of course, the same goes for live-action adaptations of anime movies. In particular, the higher the popularity of the live-action animated movie, the more heated the atmosphere becomes. And 'Beast and Beauty' is one of the representative works of 'World Disney Pictures' that no one in the world knows about and whose OST comes to mind just by hearing the title..
The ‘Beast and the Beauty’ suddenly.
- [Oh, that's not true haha. I live in LA, and there's a rumor going around that Disney is currently preparing a live-action version of Beast and Beauty.??]
It started being mentioned in a Korean community. It was the largest movie community and had a large number of users. Of course, Kang Woo-jin's 'Drug Dealer', 'Island of the Missing' and 'Leech' were also evaluated here and many opinions abounded..
It's hot now with 'The Beast and Beauty'.
In an instant, a huge number of people rushed in..
-[omg? The Beast and Beauty? Seriously true?? I'm really looking forward to it if it's Jjin and not Gura.???]
It was an unusual sign..
Meanwhile, L.A..
A very large studio site, where many people still come and go. A movie sign, one of the 'Big Five' famous tourist destinations in LA, has a familiar logo in a round sculpture at the entrance..
-‘World Disney Pictures’
‘It was ‘World Disney Pictures’. Like other large film companies, the scale of 'World Disney Pictures' was comparable to that of an amusement park, and its warehouse-type stages and outdoor filming locations were comparable to those of other film companies. However, the difference is that there are many familiar characters scattered throughout the film studio premises..
A large office inside ‘World Disney Pictures’.
0There was a ruler-shaped desk, several chairs covering the desk, and several monitors and large monitors in the front, placed in a fairly orderly manner. At first glance, I thought it was an editing room, but looking at the foreigners filling the desks, I thought it was a conference room disguised as a studio..
Tablets and scenarios are placed on the seats of dozens of foreigners..
-‘beast and beauty’
They are the team in charge of the live-action version of ‘Beast and Beauty’ among ‘World Disney Pictures’. They continued to have a very serious conversation while flipping through the tablets. Top Hollywood actors, both men and women, were displayed on the tablet screen. I just saw Miley Cara.
“Has there been an answer from Miley Kara??”
“No, not yet.”
“Hmm - wasn't he the most greedy actor? I showed a little less greed when making the offer.?”
“He also said that not at all, that he is currently ranked number one. I seemed greedy during the meeting - but it seems like the worries are taking longer than I thought..”
“If you haven't heard from me by today, try again..”
“yes.”
Leaving behind female actors whose preliminary meetings had not yet taken place, the topic changed to male actors whose preliminary meetings had already been completed. As names are listed, the conversation becomes thicker..
“Okay, the male actor's pre-meeting went well - he got all the answers.?”
“Yes, you can audition and test for the role of ‘Beast’.”
“Has the OST song for vocal testing been completed??”
“Coming soon.”
“If it's difficult, can't you use the OST used in past animation movies??”
“yes. But it's better to have the arrangement already completed..”
“Well, actually. The piano song is?”
“I think it will take a little longer that way..”
While various issues related to auditions and tests were being discussed, the face of a hot actor appeared on the tablets of the 'Beast and Beauty' teams..
“Woojin Kang. What are you going to do??”
Kang Woo-jin had already finished a preliminary meeting with the 'Beast and Beauty' production a few days ago. However, right after the preliminary meeting, 'Columbia Studios' announced Kang Woo-jin as a candidate actor for the movie 'Clierrot', which was a bit of an awkward situation..
“‘I didn't know Columbia Studios was targeting him too..”
“It must have been carried out in great secrecy, just like us..”
“I should have contacted you sooner..”
Concern appeared on the faces of the dozens of foreigners gathered..
“Force it to continue like this? Or are you going to exclude Kang Woo-jin from the role of ‘Beast’??”
“······There's an ambiguous part. There is a possibility that the schedules of the two works may clash when production begins..”
“Would two works be possible? In theory, it should be possible, but realistically, it's rare to work on two projects at the same time in Hollywood. The actor's stamina probably won't be able to withstand it..”
At this time, I was involved in the caddy team related to actor casting..
“However, Kang Woo-jin is famous in Korea for overlapping his works. ‘Leech’, which actually flipped the box, was also done at the same time as other works..”
“Oh-yeah?”
“However, the production systems in Korea and Hollywood are completely different..”
“It's difficult.”
A man with a long face who gave off the aura of a decision maker among foreigners spoke..
“Should we embrace him or exclude him? First, let’s watch the video from the pre-meeting again..”
Soon, several employees moved on. Immediately, the video was output on the largest of the several monitors in front. Black hair and indifferent face. I saw Kang Woo-jin. He, who was talking fluent English with foreigners, suddenly gets up and moves. He sat down at the black piano and calmly started playing..
-♬♪
During the pre-meeting, the 'Beast and Beauty' production team asked Woojin to play the piano, and Kang Woojin accepted their request without a second of hesitation. Then, Woojin's piano melody rang throughout the meeting room. The song is one of the hit OSTs released by World Disney Pictures..
It's a very famous song, but what can I say?.
“It feels completely different..”
“yes? It’s a performance imbued with his own color..”
“It's absurd to look at it again, is he really an actor??”
When Kang Woo-jin played it, it sounded like a completely different and unique song. In the office where we had been listening to piano music for several minutes, the music suddenly stopped. Stopped the video. Then, a foreigner with an elongated face put his hands together and said,.
“Works can overlap, and this is not uncommon in Hollywood. Of course, it bothers me that the overlapping work is 'Columbia Studio' - but is there anyone who can give up on Kang Woo-jin even after hearing that performance??”
“······”
“······”
Foreigners keep quiet, the atmosphere becomes quieter.
“‘I asked all the actors nominated for the role of 'Beast' to play the piano, but the only one who caught my ear was Kang Woo-jin. Isn’t it too much of a waste to give up just because the works overlap? I haven't even heard the vocals and the acting hasn't been heard yet. More than anything.”
A foreigner with an elongated face muttered definitively..
“There was color only in his piano playing, it sounded like the ‘Beast’ was really playing..”
this time.
Two large vans driving through downtown LA. Among them, I saw a familiar blonde woman in the front car. She looking out her window with her legs crossed.
It was Miley Kara.
She was on her way to attend the next schedule, a year-end fashion show..
“······”
Kara's face looked worried. She was about something different than the fashion show..
‘As expected - is it better to give up on the Beast and the Beauty?.’
Recently, she was offered an offer related to 'The Beast and Beauty'. Kara had been thinking a lot since then. What we heard from the 'Beast and Beauty' side, her own situation now, the big-bodied side of greed. As she went through her many struggles, she brushed away her flowing blonde hair..
‘Kang Woo-jin has already been nominated for ‘Cierrot’. Even though he's a candidate, he'll probably get the role if he's strong enough. This means that he has already secured one film in Hollywood, so considering Joseph's work, his schedule for next year should be considered complete..’
On the other hand, for Miley Kara, who still has a new album schedule and other schedules, if she received 'Beast and Beauty', next year's schedule would be over..
She narrowed her eyebrows as if she was in trouble..
Soon, a hotel in downtown LA. In other words, when she arrived at the fashion show venue, she took her coat and got out of her van. I saw an entrance filled with hundreds of reporters and officials. This was when she, accompanied by her team and several foreign guards, reached the stairs crowded with reporters..
“miley!”
A male voice was heard from behind. I turn around and see a pretty friendly, brown, permed-haired Hollywood actor waving his hand. Thanks to this, her collar and the guards attached to her gave her space, and with a grin, the male actor attached to her suddenly whispered.
“I heard you were offered ‘The Beast and Beauty’? so do i. But how did Kang Woo-jin get the role of ‘Beast’? You're kind of close to him..”
For a moment, Kara's blue eyes widened..
“Wait, what??”
‘The main roles in ‘The Beast and Beauty’ are ‘The Beast’ and ‘Beauty Bella’. Among them, the role of 'Beautiful Bella' was one of the most popular female characters in the history of 'World Disney Pictures'. In the original animated film, 'Beautiful Bella' was a blonde and peerless beauty, but she was quirky..
That's why Miley Cara was offered first choice among the nominated actresses..
Of course, her acting and popularity as well as her vocal and musical abilities were probably included. There are few superstars in the world who are both actors and singers, and even among those people, Miley Kara is in the first tier. Including Kara, there are a total of 5 actresses nominated for the role of ‘Beautiful Bella’. For reference, the role of ‘Beast’ was also played by 5 people, including Kang Woo-jin..
The male actors have already completed the pre-meeting, but the female actors, including Kara, have only made suggestions and have not yet had the pre-meeting. In the order of work, Namjoo's audition and screen test will come first..
Anyway, 'World Disney Pictures' is very greedy for Kara, but she is leaning towards rejecting the offer for various reasons..
But the thought just struck me..
‘.Kang Woojin? Kang Woo-jin was given the role of Beast.?’
Thanks to the comment made by a permed brown-haired Hollywood male actor who Kara met at the fashion show and was quite close with. Soon, Kara's blue eyes widened as she stopped on the stairs where hundreds of reporters gathered, and she smiled and gazed very seriously at the Hollywood male actor to the side..
The male actor, who felt something strange, asked again..
“what? what's the matter? It’s been a while since I last saw you, but I guess I’m so handsome?”
Although he was joking, Miley Cara's serious expression did not go away..
“······Wait, move fast.”
“uh? Uh oh?”
Suddenly, Kara quickly climbed up the counter, dragging the male actor's arm. What is a male actor? He had a face that he wanted to see, but for now, he surrendered himself to her power. A few minutes later, the two escaped the hundreds of reporters and entered the lobby of the building where the fashion show was being held. There were a lot of people here too, but at least there were few reporters..
Kara, who was looking around, turned her head and spoke again to the male actor. I lowered my voice to the maximum..
“Kang Woojin? You said Kang Woo-jin earlier.?”
The male actor answered while scratching his brown permed hair..
“Ah, that's right. Didn't you know? this.”
He's a little embarrassed. It was worth it. He wondered if he had accidentally revealed a secret. In fact, the male and female candidates who were proposed or confirmed for 'Beast and Beauty' were basically a top secret, but there were quite a few rumors and rumors going around among the actors. Of course, only among those who have been offered or confirmed as candidate actors..
Miley Cara also knew a fair amount of Hollywood actresses who had been suggested to exclude her..
But this is the first time I heard of Kang Woo-jin..
Because there hasn't been much sharing between the 'Beast' and 'Beautiful Bella' actors. Well, one of the reasons was that casting for actors had not been done for a long time. Whatever it is, rumors spreading among actors are quite common in Hollywood. That's why the male actor in front of Kara casually brought up her words..
“Pretend I didn’t hear you, I was just asking this because I knew you were pretty close to Kang Woo-jin..”
“I already heard it. Don't worry, I'm the only one who knows. But it is clear that Kang Woo-jin is a candidate for the role of ‘Beast’.?”
“I don't know the result of the pre-meeting, but it's true that Kang Woo-jin and I received the offer..”
Miley Cara paused for a moment and then muttered. Of course, inside.
‘If this is real, it will shake up a lot. Hollywood. No, the world is several times bigger than it is now..’
