I was immediately mistaken as a monster genius actor - Episode 450

450speed of light (2)

‘‘Beast’ Kang Woo-jin. No, the reason why ‘Haenyeo’ Kang Woo-jin wore tight tights all over her body from the first scene of ‘The Beast and the Beauty’ was simple..

‘Tsk! Even though it's just a CG outfit, how can you get the other person's emotions while wearing something like this?!’

As 'Haenyeo' Kang Woo-jin internally shouts, most of the scenes in 'The Beast' have to be filmed wearing tights for special effects. In fact, there are only a few times in the entire schedule that you have to dress up as a ‘beast’ and go filming. Most of the time, Kang Woo-jin had to wear these tights..

‘hey! Making team! Don't film this, don't film this!’

It's a ridiculous outfit that's gray from head to toe with strange dots, but it's all special clothing for CG. In addition, something was crumpled inside the tights to increase the size of the ‘beast’. It's extremely uncomfortable and funny, but is there anything you can do about it? It was all for the sake of completeness of the work..

In fact, Kang Woo-jin was prepared for this situation..

Because I prepared in advance before the first shooting..

I tried on this special costume in advance a few days ago, and a week ago, I did a lot of filming in a strange booth with cameras in all directions. Filming for expressions, facial movements, etc. for the near-perfect 'Beast' CG. Then, when I ran the simulation, surprisingly, the face of the 'beast' realized on the monitor followed Kang Woo-jin's movements..

Even the elaborate facial expressions..

In order to create such elaborate results, Woojin had to wear tight tights for more than half of the filming of 'The Beast and Beauty', or maybe even more than that. Although he did not fit the concept, he endured as much shame as possible for the sake of acting and the work..

‘I never thought Kara would smile so brightly. under-’

Anyway, foreign staff rushed into the set. Since an NG occurred, new settings must be set. Woojin, who was on the central stairs, came down hesitantly..

1The collar of the layer is.

“Heo-eup!”

‘She, who has the exact same appearance as 'Beautiful Bella', is holding back her laughter when she sees Kang Woo-jin still in his skimpy outfit. Among dozens of staff members, Woojin clung to Kara..

“Are you going to keep smiling??”

Although he had a solemn tone, inside he kept shouting, ‘Don’t laugh!’ Kara apologized as she wiped away her tears..

“sorry. Why am I like this? It's not the first time I've seen that special costume, but when Woojin wears it, I can't help but smile..”

“Let's do everything we can to laugh. Then, get used to being funny..”

Kara smiled and shook her head..

“I'm laughing because it's cute rather than because it's funny..”

cute? What part of me is cute? Do you have unique tastes? Kang Woo-jin was difficult to understand, and for a moment, I remembered a comment my mother had said in my past memories..

‘Woojin, cute things are the best, whether people or animals. Once it starts being cute, it's over..’

At this time, director Bill Lautner, wearing black horn-rimmed glasses, approached. He too was looking at Kang Woo-jin and raising the corners of his mouth..

“It's not a bad idea to start off cheerfully, Woojin. I'm glad you look good in that special outfit..”

Woojin, who was staring at him indifferently, did not respond in particular. I just thought to myself, ‘Is this foreign old man making fun of me?’ There is only a bit of grumbling. Then, director Bill Lautner spoke again seriously to the two actors..

“The drawings before the NG were killer, let's focus and go again from the beginning..”

“Yes, director.”

“All right.”

The two actors answered and immediately went to their seats. Soon, director Bill Lautner, who was looking at the back of Kang Woo-jin, who was walking unsteadily while being supported by the staff,.

-Sigh.

I sat back down in my seat where several monitors and keypads were gathered. And then he chanted.

“······How much did that actor study ‘The Beast’?.”

A low exclamation. The first scene of the first shoot. The scene itself was NG, but the appearance of the two actors was excellent. In particular, it is overwhelming when the ‘beast’ appears. At least director Bill Lautner thought so. However, other key staff also added their opinions to see if they had the same thoughts..

“Not only does he look like that, but everything from the lines he speaks to his every action is that of a ‘beast’..”

“that's right. In particular, did you see Woojin’s gait during filming? The heel was lifted, creating a heavy yet confident look. It must have been a study of the ‘Beast’s’ unique and intimidating steps..”

“From expressions to facial movements, shoulders, arms, and hands. It seems like each and every part of the body was designed to fit the ‘beast’. The details are so... I want to see the work completed quickly..”

Director Bill Lautner with his arms crossed.

“It is a mistake to think that just because you use CG, you can skimp on the expressions or use them in moderation. Conversely, smoke that is several times thicker is required. If you do it in vain, it will immediately be seen as a fake, but Kang Woo-jin doesn't have to worry..”

He laughed slightly. I was very satisfied..

“Even wearing that ridiculous costume, it reminds me of the ‘Beast’..”

The next morning. Around 9 o'clock.

A place a little far from downtown LA, where the frequency of people or buildings seen is reduced compared to the city center. One of them, an 8-story building, housed a small film company called ‘A8 Media.’ Although it is said to be small and medium-sized, in reality it is no different from a start-up film company that has just started..

Maybe that's why the signboard was clean compared to the others..

4The interior of 'A8 Media', which occupies one side of the floor, felt narrow. There are about 10 employees. However, as there are works that have already been produced and have achieved some results, a movie poster produced by 'A8 Media' is hung on the wall of the office where employees work..

In addition, there was a meeting room, and there were currently 5 foreigners actively conversing in this meeting room..

Three foreign men in suits. On the other side was a foreign woman who looked to be in her mid-40s, wearing short dark brown hair and a white shirt, and a man with freckles on his face. This guy looked a little younger.

A transparent file or tablet was placed in front of everyone..

“Well, I get it for now..”

As if the conversation had ended, three foreign men in suits suddenly got up..

“We will contact you after review..”

A woman with short brown hair shook hands with all three men..

“Please take care of me.”

Three men in suits left the meeting room. Soon, the bulky man among the three in the elevator smiled, recalling the meeting just before..

“this. I heard that it was a remake of Kang Woo-jin's film debut, so I thought there would be some connection with him, but there was none at all..”

“That's right, honestly, I was a little bit excited to hear about Kang Woo-jin's casting. But she was as foolish as expected. I was in vain.”

“Let alone any connection, Kang Woo-jin said he didn't know anything about this, right? Well - rumor has it that Kang Woo-jin's schedule is full until next year, including 'Columbia Studios', Disney and 'Universal Movies'..”

“I heard it too, it has that much power but there is no need to do such small work. No matter how much it has to do with his past,.”

One of them who got off the elevator, a beefy man, spoke..

“No matter how much it is Kang Woo-jin's debut film that turns Hollywood upside down, if he has nothing to do with Korean-related short films, how much investment would there be in a work like this??”

The rest of the staff strongly sympathized..

“It's impossible, even film companies are new. I won't even be able to get started. Even if you do it, you'll be ruined..”

Meanwhile, inside the meeting room of ‘A8 Media’.

In the meeting room where three men had just left, a woman with short hair and a man with freckles still remained. The atmosphere is gloomy.

“······”

“······”

The freckled man opened his mouth with difficulty, perhaps because the air was heavy..

“That would be difficult.?”

Actually, the meeting just now was investment-related. Since money is the heart of film production, those three men were very important people. But perhaps something went wrong, the short-haired woman let out a long sigh..

“It's not easy either.”

“But since you said you would contact me, maybe again.”

“I'll probably never see their faces again.”

“······CEO.”

The short-haired woman was the CEO of a new film company, ‘A8 Media.’ Even though she is the CEO, she is just the owner of a hole-in-the-wall store in LA, where an incredible number of film companies are located. Her name is Jennifer Thurman. She was from 'Universal Movies', and the movies she produced right after she became independent did quite well..

So, I thought it was a huge hit right away, but it went downhill in the next work..

Currently at the edge of a cliff.

Jennifer Thurman, leaning back in her chair, focused her gaze on the covers of two overlapping volumes among the stacks of paper on her desk. One had ‘Guest’ written on it and the other one had ‘Guest’ written on it..

-‘Healing office’.

‘It was a ‘healing office’. That's right, Kang Woo-jin's film debut, 'Heist Investigation'. Jennifer Thurman attended the ‘Mise-en-scène Film Festival’ in Korea in the past. She felt the potential after seeing her short film ‘Healing Office’. A few months later, he bought the copyright to ‘Heungshinso’ and started a remake..

Of course, it's a full-length film, not a short story, and it's tailored to Hollywood's tastes..

This was briefly known in Korea, but it was quickly forgotten because it was before Kang Woo-jin was as globally famous as he is now. Whatever it is, 'Guest', the Hollywood remake of 'Healing Intelligence Bureau', has been drifting for a year already..

‘Phew - I never thought things would turn out this way..’

It progressed to the free stage once in the middle, but fell apart in a heated manner. Well, now that Kang Woo-jin is booming in Hollywood, I wonder if there is hope. In fact, unlike in the past, the number of meetings has increased significantly. But Jennifer Thurman's stern expression did not loosen..

‘Everyone is just looking for Kang Woo-jin. I didn't even think about looking at the work itself..’

Well, no matter how much 'Guest' is a remake of Kang Woo-jin's 'Heist Investigation', it is no different from a new work since it has been adapted. If Woojin wasn't in the lead role, the movie 'Guest' was no different from the typical trash scenario found in new film companies..

Even mid-sized film companies often see a slip in investment, so it is unlikely that investment will come to new film companies..

Here the freckled man carefully put on.

“CEO, now it would be better to turn your attention to scenarios other than ‘guest’. We already had scenarios other than ‘Guest’, right?.”

“······yes. But - hehe, that's right. It was my greed.”

It was Jennifer Thurman's greed that kept 'Guest' on for over a year even though it was going bankrupt. Because the scenario was well chosen and interesting enough. It may create a new wave of horror or occult works..

‘It's just my opinion.’

Jennifer Thurman, sweeping her brown bob hair, struggled to get up from her chair..

“Investment company... Let's search a little more and select other scenarios. If we go any further than this, we'll all die..”

The freckled man asked, probably feeling sorry for the CEO..

“······The CEO was against it - but just in case, how about sending the scenario for ‘Guest’ to Kang Woo-jin? Still, wouldn't there be interest in his debut work, Remake??”

“There is one reason why I was against it. Because there's no way he'd be interested in 'guesting', he's working with three of Hollywood's 'big five' studios, right? Also, the rumor going around is that they are full of work until next year..”

“Well, still.”

“More than anything, if you look at the picture, it becomes a form of prayer to Kang Woo-jin. We are in a situation where we have to do anything to survive, but it is not okay to harm the other person.?”

The freckled male employee fell silent at the correct argument, and CEO Jennifer Thurman muttered softly as she fiddled with the 'guest' scenario on her desk. There was loneliness on his face..

“It's a pity, but this work will only be buried in my memory..”

Two days later, September 4th.

A van driving on the road. When I looked inside, I saw Kang Woo-jin, Choi Seong-geon, and their teammates wearing their hats. Woojin was moving to 'spt studio' to film 'The Beast and Beauty' in about an hour. It's already been 4 days since Woojin filmed 'Beast and Beauty' and 'Cierrot: Birth of a Villain'..

However, Kang Woo-jin was fine and the funny thing is.

-Palak.

Kang Woo-jin, who has a strong poker face, is reading the scenario. These words were written on the cover:.

-‘guest’

Woojin asked quietly while reading the scenario..

“Are you saying this is a Hollywood remake of ‘Healing Investigation Office’??”

As expected, the answer was given by ponytail Choi Seong-geon..

“That's right, the title is 'Guest'. Do you remember? I told you this once before. Although it was a short story, it was sold to Hollywood in an unusual way..”

“yes. I remember.”

“That's it. But there is nothing for you to focus on, just read it whenever you have time and are bored, just like reading a book. Anyway, it's for confirmation as the main character in the original work..”

“The scenario was sent to me by director Shin Dong-chun.?”

“Uh oh. Director Shin doesn't have any other intentions, and since you led 'Heist Investigation Office,' I feel it's only polite to send a remake scenario as well. I spoke with you last time and he emphasized that he had no intention of asking for my attention..”

Woojin nodded slowly and turned his attention to the ‘guest’ scenario again. Clearly, the whirling black square attached to the side of the scenario.

At this time, Choi Seong-gun added an explanation..

“But after listening, the situation is not so good..”

“If it's not that good.”

“Well, it's obvious. ‘Heungsinso’ was purchased by a new Hollywood film company, and Director Shin was also a rookie at the time, so he passed on Korean short films because they said they were being purchased by Hollywood. After roughly a year of adapting it, it was completed and I almost did a pre-production, but it fell through..”

“Next, is it still not possible to invest until now??”

“Director Shin also gave up halfway. Probably difficult to make.”

As soon as he heard the story, Kang Woo-jin moved his index finger discreetly. Entering subspace. Before he knew it, everything around him was a dark subspace. Woojin, who immediately solved the concept, moved to the white square without delay..

I see a new work just added.

-[14/Scenario (Title: Guest), S grade]

-[*This is a very high-quality movie screenplay. 100% reading is possible.]

Kang Woo-jin is surprised..

“Oh- S-class? This is pretty awesome?”

No, it's pretty awesome? Woojin decided that his senses had become dull because he had only dealt with SSS or EX levels these days. If you think about it, Hanryang is S-class. Although it is not a nuclear bomb-level hit, it is more than a jackpot considering that it is set in Hollywood..

‘I might gain some ability, so I'll try reading (experience) after reading the scenario..’

but.

‘It's impossible for me to do this anyway.’

That was the reality. There are many reservations for three Hollywood productions in progress. In addition, Woojin's remaining schedule, including Korea, Japan, and Hollywood, is not easy. It will definitely increase several times as the days go by..

No matter how much you think about it, it's impossible.

‘I don’t think I can do this work. Well, actors are all over Hollywood..’

For a moment, he brushed his chin as top Hollywood actors other than Chris passed by..

“Hmm, it's still a bit of a waste. The only thing that throws away S-class is that it's a remake of 'Healing Detective Agency'..”

As if something occurred to him while he was thinking, Woojin suddenly shouted 'Exit' and returned to reality. Inside the van, Choi Seong-geon was still talking to Kang Woo-jin..

“It's unfortunate, but what can you do? Thousands of works disappear like that in Hollywood. No, it must be tens of thousands. You just have to read it at ease..”

Woojin, who quickly returned to his solemn face, suggested to Choi Seong-gun in a low tone..

“How about the CEO make the main investment for this ‘guest’??”
