I was immediately mistaken as a monster genius actor - Episode 427
427angry joker (5)
Around 10 o'clock in the morning. A set inside the vast 'Columbia Studios' was crowded. 'Clierot: Birth of a Villain' about 100 foreign staff members are running around frantically. Of course, it was director Ahn Ga-bok who led the way, and next to him was executive producer Nora Foster..
So Kang Woo-jin?
‘Wow, the more I watch this trailer, the more I get tired of it.?’
It was located in one of several trailers located a little away from the filming zone. Woojin is currently fully dressed as 'Henry Gordon', including wet hair covering his chin, worn hood and jeans. The face hasn't changed like 'Joker' yet..
Currently on standby while filming another actor..
Today's filming started with his appearance as 'Henry Gordon', and in the second half, scenes of the awakened 'Joker' continue. Well, it's natural, but even here in Hollywood, the filming scenes were very busy: mid, early, mid, late..
Whatever it was, Kang Woo-jin was lying down with his legs up on the three-person sofa provided in the trailer with 'Joker' clothes hanging on hangers..
“It's being reorganized-”
Woojin, lying on the sofa, looked around the trailer..
It was a miniature version of the hotel..
Sofa, table, chair, TV, etc. There is nothing. Woojin took off his concept for a moment and muttered..
“How much does something like this cost? There must be one in Korea too - they call it a camping car. Anyway, it must be expensive, right? I think it would be fun to go camping with something like this during your break..”
Kang Woo-jin searched for a camping car or trailer on his cell phone. As a result, the prices varied widely. It can range from hundreds or thousands to hundreds of millions. Woojin said casually..
“What, it’s cheaper than I thought?”
For a moment, the man who said he would buy hundreds of millions of dollars let out a laugh..
“Wow, did I just say I was saving billions??”
However, considering Kang Woo-jin’s current status and income, it is true that 100 million is cheap..
‘Heck, I'll have to buy one of the best ones soon. Ah, while I was living there, I also bought a boat. boat? Shiba, then I should just buy a villa on Jeju Island..’
It's not just a dream. Kang Woo-jin could buy everything right now. Soon, he was writing down things to buy on his cell phone notepad. Cars, campers, trailers, boats, villas, etc. for use in LA.
‘Buy a building too? Moving to my parents’ store? Let's go.’
As I do this, it becomes endless..
“Wow, my life is really crazy.”
About 30 minutes later, the staff called Kang Woo-jin. Soon, Woojin started filming. It started with ‘Henry Gordon’. Kang Woo-jin focused on filming by bringing up ‘Henry Gordon’ in the early part of ‘Clierrot: Birth of a Villain’..
It's completely different from the 'Joker' who fell into madness a few days ago..
A continuation of 'Henry Gordon', which is full of tragedy but is forced to endure and ignores it. However, something strange was stirring in his eyes or inside. Because a strangely eerie expression was clearly printed on the camera..
In the beginning, foreign staff were whispering while watching Woojin play ‘Henry Gordon’..
“The smell is perfect. Maybe it's because I saw that goosebump a few days ago, but the difference is even stronger..”
“It is natural for actors to switch their emotions freely - but Kang Woo-jin has no delay at all.?”
“Yeah, I think that part is great too. It's normal to take a little time when scenes with very different emotions come out one after another. But Kang Woo-jin has nothing like that..”
“We're filming the 'Joker' scene starting this afternoon, right? At that time, I will start to show my insanity again without much notice..”
“How on earth did you acquire such an absurd skill in just 3 years??”
“You only debuted 3 years ago, and I heard that you polished yourself well before that. The director said?”
The filming of the early part of 'Henry Gordon' was not completed until early afternoon..
But it seems like the filming starts now..
“30Stand by in minutes!!”
It went crazy.
Several makeup team staff members clung to Kang Woo-jin. His face, once known as ‘Henry Gordon’, gradually becomes strange. His pale face and the area around his eyes were painted with a very rectangular black color. His nose and mouth are dark red..
Woojin was soon transformed into ‘Joker’..
Kang Woo-jin, who had an indifferent expression while doing makeup.
‘Ugh- I feel a bit pressured because the makeup team is twice as crowded as in Korea..’
After completing his transformation, he now had to change his costume. The clothes of ‘Joker’. Stylist team members approached Kang Woo-jin with 'Joker' clothes in their hands..
Around here.
“Woojin.”
An old voice chimed in from behind. I turned around and saw director Anga Bok approaching me with headphones around his neck. Next to him was the impressive executive producer Nora Foster. She was going in and out of the filming set at will, and the stylist team members who were approaching Woojin stopped for a moment. Next, Kang Woo-jin focused his gaze on director Ahn Ga-bok..
“Yes, director.”
“‘The 'Joker' costume..”
Director Ga-bok Ang, who took pictures of 'Joker' clothes, including a red jacket, with his index finger, spoke in English..
“I'd like to ask you something before filming, is there anything you thought about? I'm asking if there's anything you'd like to change about your outfit..”
Director Ga-bok Ahn witnessed the 'Joker' scene that Woo-jin completed with ad-libs a few days ago, so it was natural to ask Woo-jin Kang's opinion separately before the main filming..
It was just in case..
You might think that Kang Woo-jin's 'Joker' costume is plain..
No, director Gabok Ang’s expression was full of confidence..
“I'm sure you're thinking of something else you never thought of..”
“······”
Woojin, with a solemn expression, was silent for a moment. And she cried out in her heart.
‘yes?! I don't care?’
Because I've never even thought about it at all. What kind of situation is this? The hardness of his face did not change, but Kang Woo-jin became complex for a moment. Then, Woojin felt a little annoyed and answered honestly..
“No, there isn't.”
“······Is it true??”
Oh, Woo-jin felt something bothered by Director Ahn Ga-bok's question. In addition, there was also strong maintenance. Soon, producer Nora Foster, who was next to director Angabok, joined in. She didn't look very good.
“Director. He doesn't seem to have anything in mind, but it seems like he's putting pressure on himself, and if things change too much on set, there can be noise between keypads..”
Here, what stuck strongly in Kang Woo-jin's ears was the word 'burden'. There should not be any ‘burden’ in the extreme quality of the concept. Woojin decided to spit out something. At that moment, for some reason, his mother's scolding and back-slamming from his childhood flashed through his mind..
‘Kang Woojin!! When I took off my socks, I told them to put them in the washing machine right away. I didn't do that.!!’
Kang Woo-jin, whose back was feeling tingly, looked at the Nora poster and then shifted his gaze to director Ahn Ga-bok. A low tone of English came out of his mouth..
“‘Joker's socks are a bit boring..”
Nora Foster and Director Ahn Ga-bok turned their heads to Kang Woo-jin at the same time, and Woo-jin continued what he said with the attitude that it is okay to be good but not good enough..
“The current ‘Joker’ socks are just plain white..”
“yes.”
“It's better to change it to a pair. Whether black and white or red and blue.”
“Hmm - the reason I thought of that?”
It reminds me of my mom smashing my back. Kang Woo-jin, who could not answer, gave a vague answer..
“Because it will stand out, they are opposites.”
This literally meant that it would look good because it didn't match and was unique..
‘First of all, it's not easy.?’
but.
“······”
Director Anga Bok, who stared at Woojin's heavy face for a moment, laughed. He then explained that he had guessed.
“Joker is a character who has both ‘tragedy’ and ‘comedy’. I would compare it to socks. yes? In addition, 'Joker' is a device that easily ignores the gaze of oppression coming from society..”
Kang Woo-jin, who had been silent for a few seconds, nodded without much notice. She was caught, but she showed that she wasn't at all like that. The iron on her face is thick..
“I like the colors red and blue..”
Later, Kang Woo-jin, whose costume and makeup had changed, appeared in the filming zone again. About 100 foreign staff members murmured as they saw him walking calmly..
“It suits you so well. Is it okay to say this??”
“It's not that he fits well - it was a planned character, but Kang Woo-jin's own 'Joker' was completed..”
Next, Woojin arrived at the zone where the cameras were focused. Wet red long hair that reaches down to the chin, a pale face, black and red eyes and nose, lips drawn thick and torn, a yellow vest and red jacket over a blue shirt, red pants and worn brown shoes..
Blue and red matching socks can be seen above the shoes..
“······”
‘Kang Woo-jin, who was no different from the 'crazy clown', stared indifferently at the camera, and director Ahn Ga-bok, with a wrinkled smile, muttered to himself..
‘Damn it... I can't wait to show it off to the world. What would it be like to see that on a big screen?.’
Because I wanted to release the completed version of ‘Joker’ to the world’s public as soon as possible..
“That would be ridiculously grand, in a different way..”
16Day.
As soon as Kang Woo-jin enters the trailer in the morning,.
“Phew-”
I put aside my thoughts for a moment and lay down on the sofa. Perhaps because of the unfamiliar environment, new characters, and the weight of that character, ‘Joker,’ I gradually became tired..
‘Starting today, I’ll have to go to Aspace more often..’
It was at this time.
-smart.
A knocking sound spread throughout the trailer. At that moment, the main body, Kang Woo-jin, flinched and suddenly changed his lying position. It is made with a solemn twist, equipped with a concept. My heart was pounding a little. Then, he spoke English with a clear voice..
“Yes, please come in..”
Of course I thought it was a staff member. However, the person who opened the trailer door and entered was a man. No, Chris Hartnett with dark brown eyes. I don't know if he was waiting or if he had just arrived, but he had his hat pulled down..
“Woojin Kang, can I talk to you for a moment??”
As he spoke leisurely, Kang Woo-jin indifferently pointed to the chair on the other side..
“Sit.”
“thank you.”
Chris, who was sitting, looked at Kang Woo-jin, who was sitting with his legs crossed, and suddenly opened his mouth..
“···During the first filming, an ad-lib for the scene where ‘Henry Gordon’ first awakens as the ‘Joker’..”
It was referring to making the face of the ‘Joker’ with blood..
“Honestly, it was the first performance in my entire acting career that made me feel amazed. My brain froze for a few seconds. Haha, I'm not saying this to be friendly, I'm serious..”
“······”
Chris, a top Hollywood actor, does not hesitate to praise me right in front of me. Kang Woo-jin is maintaining a poker face, but.
‘Don't raise the corners of your mouth!’
Of course I was happy. No, of course it feels good to hear that a Hollywood actor who is popular in that world has a brain freeze. It was a sight that would have been unimaginable to the small-minded person of Kang Woo-jin..
But this is not the time to make a fuss..
‘How is this place dignified? I have to hold on to a lot of weight..’
Kang Woo-jin cynically changed the direction of his braided legs..
“That's right.”
Chris looked into Woojin's innocent eyes for a moment and laughed inwardly..
‘As expected, he doesn't look happy at all. Well, he's not the type to act to show off to someone. I just enjoy being the role itself. I need that kind of reticence too, it's something I can learn from..’
Chris smiled..
“How much agony did you put into coming up with that ad-lib? At that time, he stopped the brains of hundreds of people who were gathered around, so I guess he came out analyzing it to death..”
Kang Woo-jin shouts inside.
‘Of course I was worried! To be honest, as soon as I thought of that ad lib, I shouted Eureka..’
In fact, it took almost two months for Woojin to come up with that ad-lib. This is what I came up with after auditioning for ‘Cierrot’ and analyzing it here and there. Although it was close to a coincidence, it was not a fluke as I had read (experienced) ‘Cierrot: Birth of a Villain’ dozens of times. Because my understanding of the characters, background, worldview, etc. was ridiculously high..
In any case, it is true that I was very distressed..
but.
‘But again, if you say it in ancient times, it's stupid.?’
Kang Woo-jin cannot flippantly shout, ‘You’re so annoying!’ Woojin put shamelessness on her face. He answered simply..
“I roughly did it.”
This answer did not mean that I went through a lot of agony, but that I came up with the right amount of thought and did not put in a lot of effort. Rough meaning. However, Chris' frown narrowed at Woojin's cold and simple reaction..
‘outline? This reaction- no way...haha, no. no. I see..’
And then I asked Kang Woo-jin about the conclusion he reached arbitrarily..
“That ad-lib was improvised..”
Chris feels comfortable with his suddenly flushed face.
“That kind of acting came out on the spot - I'm both shocked and happy.?”
“······”
Suddenly, ‘instant’ appeared. However, when Woojin remained silent without much change in his expression, Chris Hartnett smiled brightly..
“I guess I can comfortably accept the ad-libs I do, because I enjoy it a little bit. I tend to act freely. But there are only a few actors who can properly accept it..”
“However much.”
Kang Woo-jin, who answered briefly, continued speaking in a low tone of English..
“But you won't be able to enjoy it, you'll need to be prepared..”
For a moment, Chris's eyebrows twitched slightly..
