I was immediately mistaken as a monster genius actor - Episode 387

387angry and overwhelmed (16)

Cinematic Universe. The definition of the movie market means that each movie takes place within a single worldview. The characters and content in the movie are all different, but ultimately it takes place in the same world. In addition to movies, comics, animations, and novels, many other similar productions also exist..

Of course, if that happens, the word ‘cinematic’ will have to be omitted..

Whatever it is, the large-scale project 'Cinematic Universe' planned by 'Columbia Studios' has existed in the global film industry, including Hollywood, for quite some time. There have been many attempts in various industries and many success stories..

But if you only look at movies, there are few successful ones..

There are many reasons, but the most common ones include the difficulty of production, enormous production costs, problems with cast actors, and planning that takes a very long time. First of all, starting a ‘cinematic universe’ is like moving an entire project at the same time, not just one movie..

It means you can't stop just because one movie fails..

Actors' contracts also come with difficulties, and if the actor in charge of a role is replaced due to some problem, connectivity is lost and expectations plummet significantly. However, you cannot control expensive Hollywood actors based on your tastes. Although it is a 'cinematic universe' that is in the works, if this project is successful, it can create enormous profits and brand power beyond imagination..

However, it is clearly not an easy decision. No, it's close to impossible to touch..

He said that ‘Columbia Studios’ is planning or developing such a ‘cinematic universe’. Director Ahn Ga-bok’s first thought while listening to the explanation was.

‘Huh - even if it's called 'Columbia Studios' - it's amazing..’

It was strange and amazing. Deciding on a ‘cinematic universe’ is something that could determine the rise or fall of a film company next year. Even if ‘Columbia Studios’ is a very large film company that is one of Hollywood’s ‘Big Five’..

Then, coach Anga Bok, who was wiping his wrinkled cheeks, changed the subject of his thoughts..

‘This is the first villain character to introduce our cinematic universe to the world - that's why we're going with the title 'Cierrot: Birth of a Villain'. Birth of a Villain, it’s a fitting title.’

‘The new title of 'Clierrot' is 'Clierrot: The Birth of a Villain', but in the eyes of 'Columbia Studios', the movie 'Clierrot' was like the birth of a 'Cinematic Universe'. It would also include introducing it to the global public. 'We will launch a 'Cinematic Universe', and the first villain of that worldview will be born from 'Clierot'.' Such as.

Soon, Director Gabok Ang, who was thinking to himself, asked the executives across from him. It wasn't perfect, but it was communicable English.,

“Why are you telling me such an important matter now??”

It was a valid question. Currently, director Anga Bok is confirmed to be the overall director of ‘Clierrot’. However, if the ‘Cinematic Universe’ comes into play now, the situation must change. It means delivery is too late. The answer was given by a bald-headed man among the executives..

“Sorry, but there is a reason. First, it wasn't decided whether to include 'Henry Gordon' from 'Cierrot' in our 'Cinematic Universe' or whether it would be a standalone movie. It was recently decided to have ‘Henry Gordon’ as the first candidate..”

Contract issues, stories, etc. existed in the ‘cinematic universe’ of various industries in the past. These are characters who share the worldview but are excluded from the project. Then the bald head executive began to explain. His briefing, which he spoke in a fairly calm tone, lasted about 10 minutes..

To summarize, it was like this.

‘'Columbia Studios' began work on the mega-project 'Cinematic Universe' several years ago, and currently, several characters and scenarios except 'Clierot' have been released..

“In terms of planning, we plan to present individual character films that share a shared worldview, and ultimately we are planning a work in which those characters will be mixed in one film..”

At that moment, Director Ang Bok gasped inwardly. It was hard to even imagine how much it would cost to produce a movie with all those characters. Still, he asked the executive.

“So, is ‘Clierot’ also included in the movie where all those characters will be mixed??”

“of course. You can think of it as Season 1 of our ‘Cinematic Universe’. Of course, there may be changes depending on the situation. As of now, we are only in the planning stage of the conceived project. Therefore, we at ‘Columbia Studio’ have high expectations and concerns about ‘Cierrot’..”

Director Ahn Ga-bok, who was quietly listening to the explanation,.

‘Huh - should I like this??’

I felt a burden as well as an honor. This is because I, a veteran Korean director, took charge of directing the starting point of a mega-project that would surprise even the entire Hollywood. It was obvious that this would be an unprecedented situation not only in Korea but in Asia as a whole and even in Hollywood..

‘However, if Woojin eats Namju,.’

‘It was as if a Korean director and a Korean actor were launching a huge, life-threatening project for Columbia Studios towards the world..

maybe. No, it will 100% go down in Hollywood history..

Just as director Anga Bok was lost in the cycle of infinite imagination, a bald-headed man among the executives across from him spoke again..

“More details will be revealed gradually. I plan to tell you everything I can. Oh, by the way, depending on the results of this ‘Cierrot’, I may also suggest a director for other works. So, director, please do your best for ‘Cierrot’..”

“······I think so.”

“thank you And as explained, 'Clierot: Birth of a Villain' is a very important work, so quite a lot of people will attend the public audition and screen test..”

It sounded like he was talking about the high-ranking people at 'Columbia Studios'..

“Of course, what you just heard is top secret..”

Afterwards.

Kang Woo-jin once again boarded the hellish schedule train. Currently, Part 1 of 'Beneficial Evil' is cranked up, so there is no filming, but work has not decreased at all. Because the schedule other than filming was enormous..

Woojin, who has a strong sense of concept, thought..

‘How is this? Isn’t it more intense than when filming???’

In fact, it is said that the level is better when filming a work. It was definitely worth it. Increased advertisements and pictorials, interviews and radio, various parties and events, SNS-related filming, recording and filming of ‘Kang Woo-jin’s alt-character’ on YouTube channel, promotion and marketing of currently released movies, etc..

There.

『‘'Kang Woo-jin' donates 200 million won to undernourished children in Jinju and attends charity event』

While the New Year atmosphere is in the air, there are even small schedules that arise. For example, Jinju's attendance at donation-related events and New Year's special broadcasts were the same. Here, communication with fans could not be neglected..

『[Issue Pick] Kang Woo-jin does not forget to communicate with domestic fans before entering Hollywood, holding a fan meeting and fan signing event to commemorate the new year』

In addition to fan meetings and fan signing events planned to commemorate the New Year. Of course, this had to be done back and forth between Korea and Japan..

time melts.

If there is filming for a work, that is the main thing, so things need to be cut out accordingly. Woojin was currently digesting all of that. Well, of course it wasn't Choi Seong-geon who put pressure on him. In fact, all of this was Kang Woo-jin’s request..

If possible, I wanted to organize most of my schedule 20 days in advance..

The good news is that.

‘Ah, it's tough, first go to subspace..’

He has a fraudulent item, Subspace. Whatever it was, each day passed without a moment's notice due to the hellish schedule. It's already been 10 days. As the date for Woojin's trip to LA gets closer, the momentum of the two movies, which were released in Korea and Japan like year-end and New Year's gifts, shows no signs of slowing down..

'The Unfamiliar Parasite' is causing excitement in Korea as well as in Japan, which is maintaining its top spot in advance reservation rates despite the release of new films..

[Daily domestic box office]

This was the case with 'Leech', which was a huge hit at Cannes and Korea, and has inherited the power of 'Unfamiliar Gisaeng' in Japan..

『[Movie Talk] ‘Leech’ released in Japan exceeds 10 million!』

‘‘Unfamiliar Parasite’ and ‘Leech’ surpassed 10 million viewers in their fourth week of release. It is the result of the issue of the movie itself, its quality, and special events such as Christmas or the end of the year. Of course, both movies received maximum audience reviews. 'Familiar Gisaeng', which was released in Korea, received rave reviews every day for its connection to Kang Woo-jin, and 'Leech', which was released in Japan, was no different. Because it was released at a crossroads, it was great to immediately see Woojin's different acting..

In addition, the results released every day were enough to make the film industry media go crazy. The total number of viewers for both films is already.

『‘Kang Woo-jin's 'Familiar Parasite' and 'Leech' exceed 30 million viewers in Korea and Japan combined! How far does it go??』

3000Because I have surpassed ten thousand.

At the same time, Korea, DM Production.

‘Beneficial Evil’ is joining hands with Netflix and aiming for a worldwide launch. A large conference room at DM Productions, which oversees the production of ‘Beneficial Evil’. Quite a number of people have gathered here now..

The people sitting around the U-shaped desk were all familiar faces..

Netflix Korea's general director Kim So-hyang and executives, DM Production staff, 'Beneficial Evil' key staff, and Choi Na-na, who wrote the script for 'Beneficial Evil'.

and.

“Okay - then next.”

Even bearded producer Song Man-woo just changed the meeting topic. His appearance was quite different from before. I had lost weight, my cheeks were pale, and my skin was rough. The dark circles under his eyes are also dark. It seems like I'm putting my soul into editing Part 1 of 'Beneficial Evil'.

Author Nana Choi, raising her round glasses, asked him carefully, as if she was worried about that appearance..

“Yeah, but PD. Are you really okay???”

Producer Song Man-woo took a sip from the can of coffee in front of him and smiled awkwardly..

“It's not okay.”

“Ah- eh? yes? Then go to the hospital and get treatment..”

“I already went to the hospital.”

Producer Song Man-woo stabbed his forearm a couple of times with his index finger..

“I've already had the IV for awakening several times..”

Refers to fluid for recovery of physical condition. However, to producer Song Man-woo, it was nothing special, as if it were everyday life..

“Well, this is easy. I even filmed it right before I died. don't worry.”

I meant it. In the past, when the drama market was poor, he had been absent for up to a week. Soon, producer Song Man-woo, brushing his dull hair, looked across. Towards General Director Kim So-hyang.

“Unless I fall, editing Part 1 of 'Beneficial Evil' won't take more than 3 weeks..”

This means 2 weeks for editing and 1 week for finishing. In short, the processing of ‘beneficial evil’ will end within January. In response, General Director Kim So-hyang put both hands together and nodded..

“Yes, I trust the PD. There will be no problem with the official launch on February 3rd..”

“that's right. Even if I die. No, I have to guess it even if I die..”

In fact, the launch date of 'Beneficial Evil' was confirmed to be February 3rd. The reason I haven't revealed it to the world yet is to prepare for an unexpected situation. That's because it's easier to change the schedule if a problem arises before launch. However, producer Song Man-woo was a professional and a big name in the drama industry..

He was not the type of person to make mistakes that an amateur would make..

“Editing was done simultaneously while filming Part 1, so the time was shortened significantly. Launching on February 3rd, there will be no problems. So - what's your promotion and marketing schedule like??”

General Director Kim So-hyang responded immediately..

“It's ready, both domestically and internationally. From YouTube videos to warm up, media, SNS events to hook public opinion, etc. If we stop starting, it will pour down at the level of a bombing raid. When will the first teaser be completed??”

‘The first teaser to announce the confirmed launch date and official launch of 'Beneficial Evil'. That would be the starting point for the promotion and marketing of ‘beneficial evil.’ Producer Song Man-woo, who was wiping his beard, answered..

“Hmm - I guess now is the right time, when overseas interest in 'Beneficial Evil' is high and there are a lot of issues with Woojin and Miley Kara. The first teaser will be released in a few days..”

At the end of the meeting, which lasted for several tens of minutes, PD Song Man-woo said to Kim So-hyang and others who were clearing up their seats..

“It's not complete yet. Let’s take a look at part 1 of ‘Beneficial Evil’.”

He said it very refreshingly.

“As a pre-test concept.”
