I was immediately mistaken for a monster genius actor - Episode 225

21Sunday, around 9:30 a.m..

‘A mid-sized hotel near the village of 'Inefunaya'. Accommodation mainly used by tourists. One of the floors was completely rented by the ‘Familiar’ team..

However, the 'Unfamiliar' team's floor was currently quiet..

Because everyone had gone to work in 'Inefunaya' village. They are rushing to prepare for filming early in the morning. Thanks to this, there were only a few people left in the hotel. One of them is Kang Woo-jin. Woojin, currently wearing a hat, was eating breakfast in a restaurant while receiving attention from people..

‘Oh, this tastes like egg fried rice.?’

On the outside, I am impressed by the sturdy face and the hotel breakfast. Of course, he wasn't the only one, and dozens of members of Woojin's team, including Choi Seong-gun, were also there..

So a few minutes later.

“Woojin.”

By the time the coffee was placed on the table, Choi Seong-geon delivered some news. Around the time Kang Woo-jin fell in love with the role of ‘The Strange Gisaeng’, Choi Sung-geon was also busy with other things..

The first thing presented in front of Kang Woo-jin was a contract..

“The animation ‘Boyfriend’ was confirmed yesterday. check the contract.”

The ‘Male Friend’ animation that I met a few days ago..

‘Oh, this was really fast.?’

According to Choi Seong-gun, the contract itself was a seamless process. Well, 'A10 Studio' has already started production, and it was worth it since they were so greedy for Kang Woo-jin. Even for Woojin, the ‘Boyfriend Remake’ was positive. You can learn piano skills and gain new experiences..

Anyway, it has been confirmed that Kang Woo-jin will join the animation ‘Boyfriend Remake’..

News regarding the production of ‘Boyfriend Remake’ and information about Kang Woo-jin joining are still confidential..

but.

“‘They said they would make an announcement as soon as 'A10 Studio's position is resolved, so next week at the earliest? It will be open around this time. Then we decided to catch up.”

It was only a matter of time.

“In the case of voice actor dubbing recording, 'A10 Studio' has not yet confirmed, but if the launch goal is July, it will be done in April or May. There will be an OST and test recording before that. I'll tell you gradually.”

Next, what Woojin checked in the contract was the ransom amount..

‘Wow - it's worse than I thought..’

As Choi Seong-geon led the charge, it was natural, but a very surprising ransom price was set. The OST part was separate there..

together.

“This is the first advertisement storyboard for the ‘Kasihi Group’.”

The storyboard for the 'Kashihi Group' advertisement to be filmed during Japanese activities has also arrived. The advertising for the contract company that Woojin Kang was in charge of was in the construction and food sectors. One for construction and two for food..

“I think the filming schedule will be next week. They're in a hurry, so it's okay for us..”

It was nice to go in a hurry. Even the shortest commercial filming lasts more than half a day, and Woojin's schedule becomes more intense as he begins filming 'The Stranger.' Also, considering the people returning home due to the Korean schedule, it was convenient to film the commercial at the beginning of the filming of 'The Unfamiliar Gisaeng'..

Then, Choi Seong-gun suddenly raised his thumb..

“And Woojin, your acting was killer yesterday. You might not have known, but the kids from the film company and distributor who showed up on the scene weren't in an uproar. They were busy praising.”

As a result, everyone on Woojin's team was excited..

“Oh, that's right, I really tore it up yesterday.!”

“I haven't read the book 'Strange Stranger', but I'm planning to buy it this time.!!”

“Yesterday, I only saw Brother Jinsim.!”

“All the Japanese actors and staff were hesitating.?”

Woojin, who tried hard to hide his embarrassment, only gave a low answer..

“I guess that's why I couldn't see it because I was acting..”

Meanwhile, the filming site of ‘Familiar Gisaeng’.

In the bright morning, the village of 'Inefunaya' felt a bit lively, unlike yesterday when it was night. The eeriness faded. Still, the emptiness remained. Anyway, dozens of staff are busy around the dock, which was the focus of yesterday's filming..

“10 minutes before standby!!”

“Go to camera settings!!”

“Director! Please check the makeup of the actors here.!”

We're scheduled to start filming in about 10 minutes. Of course, it was a scene that did not include Kang Woo-jin in the dorm. Normally, you can't film in the order of the scenario, but while I was in 'Inefunaya' village, I had no choice but to film in order..

Therefore, the current cut was taken the day after Ginjo died..

Director Kyotaro had just been talking on the phone with someone, but was now busy checking around the scene. Artist Akari, who came out to inspect the monitor area again today, stands out. In addition, the number of actors to be used has increased several times compared to last night. It was natural that there were over 30 supporting actors related to the police. Everyone was dressed as police officers..

“Everyone, don’t be nervous! When the action sign is dropped, everyone just has to do what is specified.!!”

Gradually, the filming set setting turned into an incident scene. There were police officers gathered around, onlookers, no-entry signs and lines blocking onlookers, and reporters buzzing. Soon, Yasta, who will play the corpse, and the assistant and minor actor who played 'Shutoku Misaki' entered..

“Mr. Ogimoto has arrived.!”

Although Yasta is nude in the setting, the overall appearance was filmed last night. He currently has only his upper body naked and his lower body clothed. He didn't care because it was going to be covered anyway and he would only open it halfway. The assistant and minor actors in charge of 'Misaki Shutoku' have broken hair and their makeup and costumes are the same as yesterday..

That's how the body was set up..

Soon, the main actor, who would become the core of the current filming, emerged among the dozens of supporting actors. A man who appears to be in his mid-30s, wearing casually worn jeans, light navy padding, short hair, and moderately dull skin..

It was Mana Kosaku, a top Japanese actor..

The role he played in 'Familiar Gisaeng' was 'Mochio Yoshizawa', and he was a detective who was a bit tainted by the setting. He also receives allowances from Yakuza and gangsters. On the outside, he is synonymous with cuteness and nerdiness. However, funny enough, he was a person who pretended to be lazy but was meticulous in his investigation, chasing Kiyoshi Iyota, a 'stranger' in the scenario, until the end..

Mana Kosaku, who plays such a detective, is the second actor to be cast after Kang Woo-jin in 'The Stranger.'.

He was the leader of a famous Japanese band and a singer and actor who has been loved in Japan for a long time. Then, as soon as Manako Saku arrived on the scene, her staff gathered around. She was on the make-up team, and while her makeup was being touched up, Kosaku, who generally has dark facial lines, slowly looked around the filming site..

“······hmm.”

It was exactly what I thought. He is like the 'faceless gisaeng' he read about. More than anything, it felt more vivid after seeing Kang Woo-jin's performance last night..

Soon, Kosaku remembered the past..

To be exact, it was when Director Kyotaro first visited him. Kosaku asked something and Director Kyotaro answered simply..

‘Why was that Korean actor cast as Kiyoshi Iyota??’

‘Because it has to be him.’

At the time, I didn't really know what it meant. However, Kosaku keenly understood Director Kyotaro's feelings last night. Why did that Korean actor play Kiyoshi? why does it have to be him.

Kosaku mutters quietly to himself..

“It wasn't because he had to, it was because he couldn't do anything else..”

Kosaku was so shocked by Woojin's acting that his acting career was shaken. Yes, it was just like Yasta said..

Kang Woo-jin was a monster.

It was not for nothing that he caught the eye of Japanese master director Kyotaro across the sea in his first year because he won eight awards at the end of the year in Korea, which started the Korean Wave. Kosaku also watched both Woojin's Hanryang and 'Male Friend' out of curiosity..

I thought you were good at acting.

But yesterday’s Kang Woo-jin was on a different level..

It was Kosaku who had to chase after Woojin throughout the filming of 'Familiar Parasite'..

‘As an actor and a detective.’

Kosaku's emotions rose. Detective ‘Mochio Yoshizawa’ was smeared on his body. Although Kang Woo-jin is not present, he is ready for shadow boxing. Because I plan to keep in check whether he is there or not..

‘If you don't do this, comparisons will be made until the end of filming..’

He was the only person who went to the end with Kang Woo-jin. Kosaku felt genuinely nervous. At that time, director Kyotaro called, and Kosaku, who had a brief conversation with the director or writer Akari, stood behind the camera..

Just before filming starts.

-widely!!

Soon, Director Kyotaro's shout from the loudspeaker in front of the monitor rang out along with the noise of the slate..

“High-Q!”

At the same time, dozens of supporting actors in police uniforms were busy moving around. Some take pictures, some control onlookers, and some scour the dockside for evidence. Mana Kosaku here. No, Detective Mochio Yoshizawa appears..

“Ugh - it's far, far away. It's been a really long time since I went to Chiba..”

Detective Mochio Yoshizawa appeared grumbling. The junior detective standing next to him marked the dock with his index finger..

“Let's start from there..”

“Yeah yeah.”

The camera follows behind the two..

As Detective Mochio approached, one of the police officers on the wooden boat noticed the presence. Mochio pretended to remove the covering from his body..

“let's see your face.”

“ah! yep!”

The police quickly removed half of the warm cloth. A dead body curled up in a pale, naked body with its eyes open. It was Ginjo. Mochio put his hands together to pray for his soul to rest in peace, then casually squatted down at the end of the dock and rested his chin. Seems like he sees dead bodies often. And then he spoke to Ginjo, who suddenly passed away..

“Hey - why did you die here??”

The junior detective sighed..

“There's no way you can answer, right?.”

“I know, I could just ask..”

The camera took a picture of his profile, and Mochio, who answered, slightly tilted his head and scanned the corpse's appearance in detail..

“Marks that appear to have been strangled. Looks like a rope? Did you pester me from behind??”

The police officer who was investigating nodded..

“Yep, we'll have to see the results for sure, but I think it's this rope..”

A police officer raising a rope for anchoring a wooden boat containing an evidence bag. Mochio, who was looking at this in annoyance, touched Ginjo's chest with his index finger..

“What is that white thing??”

“It's semen.”

“······Ah, well, it looks smooth. Semen, so I raped him here and strangled him to death.?”

Detective Mochio, who was muttering, checked the belongings of the corpse lying nearby. The clothes I wore, my underwear, and my wallet. Mochio let out a small breath and put on his gloves and opened his wallet. The money and cards were still there..

“Not a robber.”

Anyway, the body was identified in the wallet..

“Konakayama Ginjo-”

A moment of silence here. Director Kyotaro's cut signature. Everyone returns to their original positions and takes action again. OK came out after about 3 reactions..

Next scene.

After Mochio confirmed Ginjo's identity, he moved to the location of the second body. This time it was about 60 corpses with their heads broken. He was wearing clothes. This time, Mochio spoke to the corpse while putting his hands together..

“are you the culprit?”

The camera moves behind Mana Kosaku and the junior detective sticks next to him and sighs again..

“Ha- senior. As I said before,.”

“I know. Rather, this person······”

He trailed off and raised his head to check the tall building in front of him..

“Did it fall from above?.”

“That's the situation.”

This time, Mochio squatted down and looked down at the body with his chin resting, and asked the police officers next to him..

“Is there any resistance or price traces??”

“No, not yet. It is highly likely that he fell alone..”

“hmm-”

Mochio sighs and looks at the corpse's belongings. Cigarettes, wallet and lighter. As expected, he checks the name of the corpse in his wallet..

“Shutoku Masaki. This guy has unique tastes..”

The junior detective tilted his head..

“yes?”

“Because you like men, you raped Ginjo..”

“ah-”

“Anyway, to sum it up, this is it.?”

Mochio slowly got up and put one hand in his pocket to tidy up..

“This gentleman, Shutoku, kidnapped Ginjo from the boat over there, brought him here, and raped him. After having fun, he strangled Ginjo with a rope and committed suicide by throwing himself..”

“Circumstances, the evidence so far is correct. I'll have to dig into it a little more closely. Like transportation or something. Above all, if the semen that came out of the corpse on the wooden boat belongs to this man, then it is 100% true..”

“······”

It was true, but Mana Kosaku. No, Mochio had a disapproving expression on his face. Scratching your chin is a bonus.

“Seup- I don’t know what it is, but doesn’t it feel like breadcrumbs were left out on purpose??”

“what is that.”

“First of all, that semen. What can I say, I sprinkled it on my chest asking you to look at it openly..”

“no what is that······”

“Plus, that guy over there named Ginjo has a very clean body..”

“yes?”

“Suppose two men get together. Wouldn’t there have been any resistance??”

“hmm-”

“And this is just a curiosity.”

Detective Mochio spoke while scanning the entire fishing village..

“Why did it have to be here??”

“It's just 'because it's remote and there are no people'..”

“well. Even if you don't come all the way to Chiba, aren't there many places that are isolated or deserted??”

“That's right, but.”

“Hmm, something really bothersome has caught me. It stinks too..”

“yes?”

Mochio shrugged his shoulders and walked again in the direction where Ginjo lay. The camera was attached to the side. He then looked down at the pale Ginjo curled up in the wooden boat and muttered lowly to himself..

“I think this place has some sort of message. Hey, tell me. It was really just the two of us?”

The next thing that rang.

“······Wow!! OK!!”

Director Kyotaro gave the OK sign..

Around lunch on the same day, Korea.

The location is the ‘Island of the Missing’ large set complex in Buyeo. Similar to the 'Familiar Parasite' team, the 'Island of the Missing' team was also in the midst of filming. The location is an empty lot behind a large school-shaped building..

A person stands alone, taking off his military uniform and holding a gun in one hand..

“······haha.”

It was Ryu Jeong-min. He laughs helplessly. Now he was ‘Lieutenant Choi Yoo-tae.’ One camera captures the direction he is looking at, and the other captures the face of ‘Lieutenant Choi Yoo-tae’. Lieutenant Choi Yoo-tae's appearance right now was beyond words. It was full of dust and soot, and its cheeks, forehead, and neck were torn..

What are the pupils like??

“Haha- keke, fuck. doggish.”

His life, which was bright in the beginning, has changed. It was safe to say he was half crazy. There was also a glimpse of madness. Director Kwon Ki-taek is watching him closely through a monitor. And about 100 staff around there..

At this time.

-Sigh.

Lieutenant Choi Yoo-tae, laughing, moves slowly. In front of him stood a rusty and mossy information board. Lieutenant Choi Yoo-tae brushes off the upper part of the information board with his palm..

Soon, letters were vaguely visible at the top of the information board..

-[Boat usage time]

After staring at the text for a moment, he covered his face with the hand holding the pistol. His laughter gets louder..

“Kkkkkkk, ah-what is this. It was an island in reality?”

There was silence for about 10 seconds. About a hundred staff members also held their breath. What they see is Director Kwon Ki-taek with a serious face in front of the monitor..

yet.

“······after-”

Director Kwon Ki-taek let out a small sigh, slowly got up and spoke softly into the loudspeaker..

“Cut, OK. Thank you for your hard work, Ryu Jeong-min..”

Ryu Jung-min smiled slightly and bowed to the director and staff..

“Thank you for your hard work, Director. Thank you all for your hard work.”

Soon, applause poured in from about a hundred staff members..

-Clap clap clap clap clap!

-Clap clap clap clap clap clap.!

Director Kwon Ki-taek, who laughed, also slowly followed the applause..

“Thank you all for your hard work.”

It was only at this time that the lighting director, who was the head of the 100-strong staff, burst into joy..

“It's finally over ah!”

‘‘Island of the Missing’ cranks up.

In other words, it was the moment when all filming ended..
