I was immediately mistaken as a monster genius actor - Episode 384
384angry and overwhelmed (13)
Inside the theater, an advertisement is being printed. A man in black long padding who just checked the message. No, Kang Woo-jin muttered to himself as he looked at Choi Seong-geon’s chat message on his cell phone screen..
‘‘The ‘clown’ audition and screen test is on January 25th. But my departure is on the 20th. Only a few weeks left, it seems sooner than you think?’
It is currently the end of December. Considering that December was the end, there were about 3 weeks left until January 20th..
‘Going a few days early is probably due to jet lag or adaptation..’
It was correct. It took into account not only the time difference between Korea and LA, but also Kang Woo-jin's condition during the audition and screen test. One way or another, it will take a day to get used to it. Although Woojin often goes to LA, this was the first time he decided to do so. Even since the film company is ‘Columbia Studios’, one of the ‘Big Five’, it was a natural decision for CEO Seong-geon Choi to go a few days early..
Kang Woo-jin also nodded slowly as if he understood..
He then checked the next chat..
-CEO: And I also received an email from Disney. ‘The Beast and Beauty’ nominated actors confirmed.
Here, Woojin felt somewhat relieved. Following 'Clierrot', after a preliminary meeting with 'World Disney Pictures', 'Columbia Studios' announced the official candidate actors for 'Clierrot'. Of course, the candidate actors included Kang Woo-jin..
‘I heard that if competition increases, Disney may fall - but somehow it seems to have worked out well.?’
‘Choi Seong-geon said that Woo-jin could fall into 'Beast and Beauty'. The atmosphere wasn't bad during the preliminary meeting with Disney, but the reason was that Disney may have a different opinion when they see Woojin included in the candidate actors for 'Clierrot.' If you think about it, it wasn't wrong. In fact, ‘World Disney Pictures’ delayed an answer after a preliminary meeting..
Thanks to the concept, he didn't show it, but Kang Woo-jin was a little nervous..
‘Because I thought ‘The Beast and Beauty’ would be fun too..
It was also a work filled with memories. There's no need to hold on to it if you can't, but it's better to do it if you can.?
‘The grade is also high.’
Anyway, Kang Woo-jin was confirmed as a candidate actor for 'The Beast and Beauty', which was slightly delayed. An official announcement hasn't been made to the world yet, but it's only a matter of time. With this, Kang Woo-jin.
‘Two of the Big Five? Geography.’
He was stamped as a candidate actor for large-scale works by 'Columbia Studios' and 'World Disney Pictures', dinosaur film companies that dominate Hollywood. Although he is still a candidate, Woojin's mind now feels like he has already gotten the role..
‘both are mine.’
I was confident. Of course, subspace as well. So when will ‘World Disney Pictures’ announce the candidate actors? Curiosity crossed his mind for a moment, but Woojin quickly erased his thoughts..
Because I dismissed it as a happy wait.
The imagination is gone. 'Clierot' alone was such an uproar both domestically and overseas, but it would be even more crazy if 'The Beast and the Beauty', which is full of fans of the original work not only in Korea and Japan, but also around the world. Kang Woo-jin feels a tingling sensation even after thinking about it for a moment..
Well, there may be controversy or negative comments..
‘To me, Noh Sang-gwan.’
There wouldn't be any real damage to Woojin..
It was then.
-♬♪
Subtle yet slightly depressing music rang throughout the theater. The lights also dim. Looking at the front screen, I saw that ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’ was starting in earnest after the commercial ended. Woojin turned his cell phone to silent mode and stuffed it into his long padded pocket..
‘It's been a while.’
This refers to watching a movie as an audience member in a theater. The last time I saw it was probably ‘Healing Investigation Office’? For a moment, Kang Woo-jin thought of his friends with shock and fear on their faces and laughed. Then.
-Sigh.
Woojin crossed his legs and focused on the screen. Although there are empty seats in the audience around him, they are more than half full. It was a considerable number for Cao Cao. They all focused on the 'familiar parasite' like Kang Woo-jin..
‘Kiyoshi Iyota’ on the screen. In other words, Kang Woo-jin first appeared..
An emotionless face, a sad expression, soulless gestures, a worn-out feeling. Woojin was a little embarrassed to see his face filled with the large screen..
‘As expected - I'm still a bit embarrassed to see myself in my work..’
Meanwhile, hundreds of audience members around him stared at the screen with bated breath. The harsh atmosphere became more intense as the play progressed. In the beginning, Woojin's multiple personality acting and emotionless piano playing were the first 'homework' undertaken. And the first ‘design’’.
[“It's okay to have one person, but having all 9 people is impossible. I don't have enough strength. Head too. Experience too.”]
The eyes of hundreds of viewers were widened by the unexpected content. But the ‘unfamiliar parasite’ did not give him any time to rest. Someone's suicide to confuse it with the second 'homework' on the ship. Next, a detective chasing ‘Kiyoshi Iyota’ appears. The running time of 'Familiar Gisaeng' was by no means short, but hundreds of viewers at the theater.
“······”
“······”
I fell into it and forgot to go to the bathroom. Soon, Kang Woo-jin's sobs after finishing his last 'homework' were displayed on the screen. The scene where he, who had been dry the whole time, showed his emotions for the first time. Here, most of the audience let out exclamations..
Then ending.
As a stranger, Kang Woo-jin, who was among many citizens, looked at the audience. It was dull and quiet, but unlike the beginning, there was liveliness in his eyes. Closer and closer, when Woojin's face was filled, the screen turned black and magnificent music played..
‘‘Familiar Gisaeng’ ends and the ending credits are displayed..
at the same time.
“Wow - I'm seriously crazy..”
“Daejon Jam.”
“No, really, what is Kang Woo-jin? The smoke...is crazy..”
Even though the movie ended, the audience who were unable to leave expressed their sincere admiration..
“creeps! This is completely Kang Woo-jin’s one-man show movie.!”
“Admittedly, there are no boring sections when you go alone by the collar.??”
Most of them were like that..
“Kang Woo-jin’s acting is crazy! I got bored halfway through.”
“I was confused because he was better at Japanese than I thought, and Kang Woo-jin learned Korean..”
“It's a shame that it reached 23 million in Japan..”
The audience sat in their seats and excitedly commented on their thoughts. A man wearing long padding passed leisurely in front of them. No one knew that he was Kang Woo-jin..
“I think this one too will hit 10 million..”
Even though it was covered by a mask, Woojin was smiling..
Meanwhile, L.A..
Unlike Korea, where it is morning, LA is afternoon. Among the huge film companies, World Disney Pictures' 'Beast and Beauty' division was busy..
“‘All actresses who played ‘Beautiful Bella’ received confirmation..”
“Miley Cara had a close encounter, but luckily she joined..”
“Since there was no answer, I thought he was rejecting it, but he suddenly changed his mind.?”
“Well, it's a good thing for us anyway..”
Several foreigners come together to speed up work progress..
“‘The male actors for ‘Beast’ and the female actors for ‘Beautiful Bella’ have all been confirmed, so it’s time to set a date..”
“Would you like to proceed together? Or separately?”
“There's no need to rush, I think it would be better to split the week..”
“Hmm - we need to check out their duet. There is also a duet song, and the scene where ‘Beautiful Bella’ dances to the piano in ‘The Beast’ is important..”
“I'll have to guess the actors' voices later..”
While various agenda items were being discussed rapidly, one executive muttered:.
“Rather than that, we need to make an official announcement about the live-action adaptation of ‘Beast and Beauty’ first, because as everyone knows, rumors are making a lot of noise..”
“Um, right. If you procrastinate too much, you may lose strength..”
Then the first decision was made.
“Let's take care of that within a few days..”
backwards.
In addition to Kang Woo-jin's 'Best Actor' sweep, there are many issues in Korea..
『[Movie Talk] ‘The Strange Sacrifice of a Stranger’ starring Kang Woo-jin is about to be released in Korea!』
‘News about the first Korean release of ‘Unfamiliar Gisaeng’ has been added. It was quite noisy the day before, but on the morning of the 21st, the opening day, it was several times more noisy..
『'Unfamiliar Parasite', which attracted 23 million viewers in Japan, is off to an unusual start in Korea as well! 1st place in overall reservation rate』
Anyone can see the Kang Woo-jin effect. Of course, it is a blockbuster movie that attracted 23 million viewers in Japan, but what is more important is that it is Woojin's first leading role in Japan, which is currently causing a stir in Korea. Because Kang Woo-jin achieved a lot of history this year, the public's expectations were very high..
With expectations this high, disappointment is bound to follow, but 'The Stranger' has received a series of reviews that exceed expectations..

As soon as the first screening ended, the audience who had seen ‘Familiar Gisaeng’ rushed in like crazy. What can I say, it feels like the 'unfamiliar parasite' has taken over the baton even before the 'leech''s mighty power has cooled down. That meant that Kang Woo-jin's prestige in the theater world became even greater without interruption..
One day later, the 22nd.
After resting for a day, Kang Woo-jin, equipped with a stronger concept, got into the waiting van. The team members welcomed him, and Choi Seong-geon, the passenger seat, immediately showed the tablet screen. he was laughing.
“Woo Jin-ah, ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’ is in good spirits!”
On the tablet screen, the results for the first day of Korean release of 'Familiar Gisaeng' were being displayed..
[2021Check the number of viewers on December 21, 2018]

At first glance, it may seem weak because it is lower than 'Leech', but it was not like that at all..
“‘'Leech' was so crazy, and even though you were the lead, it's a Japanese movie so you're not familiar with it..”
Kang Woo-jin answered silently..
“yes, i know.”
“Okay, okay. But there are a lot of special events coming soon, on Christmas Eve and at the end of the year, so it's worth looking forward to it.!”
Another day passed, and on the 23rd, the second results of ‘Unfamiliar Gisaeng’ were announced..
『‘On the second day of the release of 'Familiar', the number of viewers exceeded 1.2 million.!』
With over 1 million viewers in two days, theaters at the end of the year are once again filled with Kang Woo-jin. But it wasn't just about Korean theaters..
『[Issue Talk] ‘Leech’, which shook Khan and Korea, opens in Japan today, the 23rd! The reservation rate is?』
23Today, ‘Leech’ was released in Japan..
A few days later, New York.
A foreign woman appeared in the parking lot after finishing recording a famous talk show. She was Miley Kara, wearing a navy coat and flowing blonde hair. Wearing full makeup thanks to the recording, she moved around with about a dozen staff members and then got into the first of several large vans waiting in the parking lot..
-Sigh.
As soon as she got on, a female team member handed her a water bottle as she brushed her blonde hair back. Kara expressed her gratitude and took a few sips of her bottled water before crossing her legs and taking out her cell phone. Several communications have been received. Among them, a message from a talkative Hollywood actor whom she had recently met at a fashion show event caught her eye and she moved her thumb..
His message included a simple comment and a link..
Kara lightly ignored the comment and touched the link. Her cell phone screen suddenly changed. What was printed was an article from a large media company. Soon, Miley Cara read the headline.
『BBX/'World Disney Pictures' official announcement “We will be producing a live-action version of The Beast and Beauty””』
I smiled slightly.
“The live-action film has been officially announced..”
