I was immediately mistaken for a monster genius actor - Episode 246
Producer Byung-seon Yoon is a little surprised by the main writer’s words. Thanks to this, the PDs gathered around tilted their heads, and the entertainment director who was close to PD Yoon Byung-seon opened his mouth..
“Well, what is it? what's the matter? What happened???”
20% The festive atmosphere was not enough to achieve viewership ratings. However, PD Byung-seon Yoon suddenly took on a serious expression, and both the director and the head of the division were taken aback, wondering if an unknown problem had arisen. Because it was a variety show where you couldn't tell what was ahead..
On the other hand.
“······No, no.”
Producer Byung-seon Yoon, who made eye contact with the main writer for a moment, smiled again..
“Nothing special, just a little surprised.”
He calmed down the executives, including the director and head of the headquarters. But the executives could not easily let go of their serious expressions..
“What is it??”
Of course, Producer Byung-seon Yoon left the entertainment bureau without answering right away, dragging the main writer and team with him..
“later, later-”
The issue I just heard from the main writer is deeply related to 'Our Table', but the urgent matter was not the entertainment department..
anyway.
-Sigh.
Producer Byung-seon Yoon, who left the entertainment department with a lot of noise, went to the meeting room dedicated to 'Our Table' and asked the main writer next to him..
“A food company called you directly.?”
The main writer shook his head after pressing the elevator button..
“No, it came by email, I checked it and then called. I think they probably checked with us first before contacting Woojin..”
“Oh yeah? What food company is this?.”
“It's Saturnalia.”
“Saturnalia? I walked in a very big place.”
“Looking at the speed, it seems like he smelled something selling and made his move right away..”
Producer Byung-seon Yoon nods his head slowly and gets into the elevator. It was definitely something the company could smell. First of all, the impact of 'Our Table' exceeded 20% and Kang Woo-jin's cooking skills that even Americans fell in love with. ‘Kimjaban Makguksu’ developed by Kang Woo-jin. Just looking at these three things is enough to make your mouth water.
“······Of course, that ‘Kimjaban Makguksu’ is ridiculously delicious..”
The main author quickly nodded as if he strongly agreed..
“It's crazy, 'Kimjaban Makguksu'’.”
The staff around me reacted the same way..
“Ah, I admit it, that is.”
“A little savory yet spicy. With the salty taste of Kimjaban included... Ha, I suddenly want to eat it again..”
“To be honest, it won't be reproduced exactly as Woojin makes it, but if it's sold on the market, I'll buy it at least once a week..”
While the team members were drooling, PD Byung-seon Yoon recalled the first time he ate 'Kimjaban Makguksu'..
‘Honestly, I was shocked..’
Although I asked Kang Woo-jin to develop a dish, he showed up with something that was really perfect. How does it taste? It tasted heavenly. It was no exaggeration to say that it was made by an actual chef..
This wasn't the case at all.
However, there is a precedent, but it is extremely rare. Well, these days, there are more and more similar cases on YouTube, but most of them are actual chefs or people who were chefs..
It was safe to say that this was my first time being an actor like Kang Woo-jin..
At that moment, PD Yoon Byung-seon, who got off the elevator, recalled the current momentum of Kang Woo-jin. It was Kang Woo-jin who was constantly on the subject and whose works were all very popular..
“When it comes out, it will definitely sell like hot cakes..”
This is also an unfamiliar issue..
“But it's absolutely amazing. When it comes to Woojin’s signature dish,-”
“He is properly recognized by the public. The real Woojin is a heavenly world..”
Above all, if 'Kimjaban Makguksu' with Kang Woo-jin's name on it is spread all over the country, it will become several times more familiar to the public than it is now. Considering Kang Woo-jin's brand power, it was unconditionally good news..
If it becomes a big hit, we will write another history..
soon.
“‘‘Our Table’ should be the first to commercialize Kimjaban’s Makguksu..”
Producer Byung-seon Yoon, with a deep smile, immediately spoke to the main writer..
“First of all, call Woojin right away..”
this time.
Newly derived news began to spread on the Internet, which is full of various issues, especially with many 'leech' articles..
『[Issue Pick] 'Our Table' captivated the tastes of LA locals, exceeding 20% viewership rating, which was unlikely to happen in the future!』
『‘‘Beneficial Evil’ confirmed to launch worldwide, Netflix says, “We will make a work with no regrets”” 』
'Our Table' surpassed 20% for the first time, and 'Beneficial Evil' was officially announced around the same time. Here, 'Beneficial Evil' sold like hot cakes, probably because it had quite provocative keywords..
Because it was the first.
『‘‘Beneficial Evil’ fronted by Kang Woo-jin, netizens ask, “Is it action?” explosion of curiosity』
Although the color of challenge was strong, the people participating as players were very strong. It is natural that public expectations are rising..
-Wow, this isn't the first time a Netflix original has been targeted around the world.??
-Information: Producer Song Man-woo is the producer who directed Hanryang.
-Assistant Manager Park... No, Lee Sang-man... No, Kang Woo-jin's form is crazy.....
-Hahaha, Eva is cumming. K-drama never works overseas.
-Whether it works or not, there should be meaning in what you try.
-Beneficial evil! Something about the title sucks? Is it action??
- But isn’t Kang Woo-jin’s twin theory likely?? I think I saw an article about leeches the other day???? It's a schedule that's possible.??
-oh!!! In Hanryang, it was Woojin’s brother Jordan Station! This time, he is the sole lead!! Also expanding overseas!!
-action? Kang Woo-jin action available??
-↑Didn’t you see Kang Woo-jin saving Hwa-rin? It was almost special forces level.
- As expected, the trend is Netflix?? First of all, since it's Kang Woo-jin, I don't have to worry about his acting, but please... I hope he isn't chosen in an unsophisticated way.....
On the other hand, there were also those who opposed the pouring of articles..
『‘Producer Song Man-woo, who turned his attention to the global market after the huge success of 'Hallyang', is this really the right decision??』
These were some of the broadcasting stations that participated in this ‘Beneficial Evil’ auction..
“Did you see it, Director? Producer Song, along with domestic broadcasting stations, chose Netflix.”
“I know, I saw it. Huh - it's a waste, it's a waste.”
“Well, I have to give up on things like this. But is it because PD Song has been directing for a long time? Aren't you feeling a bit weak? Suddenly, it was a global challenge..”
“I got greedy.”
“I understand, but honestly, K-dramas aren't making much of an impact overseas yet, right? If they had Kang Woo-jin on their backs, they would have secured a certain amount of domestic ticket power, but I think it would be right to just release it domestically first and then go to Netflix second..”
“I also think the chances of success are slim. It's a challenge, but if it fails, it becomes a useless piece of work..”
It was an evaluation based on some discomfort and a certain degree of reality at having pushed them out..
“It's launching worldwide on Netflix - it's too early..”
“That's right... No matter how much of a nuclear bomb rookie Kang Woo-jin is, he's only been around for a little over a year, and he's not even known overseas except in Korea and Japan..”
“Even in that Hollywood screen test last time, there wasn't anything that came out as fact.?”
“yes yes. It's quiet.”
“Hmm, that's too bad.”
In fact, not only the broadcasting station that was rejected but the entire industry viewed it with a similar perspective. Various production companies, media, etc..
『[[Plan] ‘Beneficial evil’ that is said to be targeting the world in cooperation with Netflix, industry officials say, “It is premature.””』
Most people responded that it would be difficult. No matter how high the quality of the PD, writers, and actors is, they are no different from unknowns overseas..
At this point, it's impossible not to get into PD Song Man-woo's ears..
However, producer Song Man-woo is very busy..
“The idiots.”
It was insignificant. There was not an inch of shaking. Because I didn't have enough time to worry about such things. As 'Beneficial Evil' was changed to pre-production, it had to be made at more than twice the quality of the live version..
Around the afternoon of the same day.
“Thank you for your hard work, Woojin.!”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“Thank you for playing the song requested by viewers live. To be honest, I didn't know you would sing it right away..”
“Because it wasn't that difficult..”
After finishing Bora (Visible Radio), Woojin is walking down the hallway to his next schedule..
“Woojin.”
Choi Seong-geon, with his ponytail and a faint smile on his face, muttered..
“I got a meeting with Farmer..”
Saturnalia? It was a company that Kang Woo-jin was also very familiar with. why? Because Woojin’s favorite ramen is also Nongsin. Kang Woo-jin is slightly flattered that she was contacted by her favorite ramen company. However, without letting go of his cynical tone, he asked back:.
“Is it an advertisement?”
“It's similar, but it's not. I want to launch a product using your cooking recipe..”
“······”
What does that mean? Woojin didn't understand right away. That's why he chose to remain silent, and Choi Seong-gun, who had no way of knowing this, continued his explanation before getting into the van..
“‘‘Kimjaban Makguksu’, that’s it. They are removing it from the agricultural gods as a commodity. I was a little excited because I thought the viewer response would be good, but I never thought the push would come so quickly..”
Behind him, Choi Seong-geon recited the explanation he had received. Choi Seong-gun's briefing was long, as he was a little excited because it was his first time, but to get the gist of it, it was as follows. The meeting with Saturnalia is tomorrow morning. And what Farm God is aiming for is to turn ‘Kimjaban Makguksu’ into cup ramen..
Kang Woo-jin, who had a silent face, immediately muttered to himself..
‘crazy, revolution.’
Because it was a situation I could never have imagined. Well, I am sure that cooking skills are a gift from subspace, but I never expected that this would bear fruit as a real product..
‘I thought it would be so bad, but now they're offering cup ramen with my name on it? Sincerity?’
Ramen noodles are currently piled up at Woojin’s house. In the meantime, ramen of your own creation is added. Woojin felt something strange..
There is no reason to reject this, right? Rather, I wanted to see the real thing as quickly as possible..
thus.
“I think it'll be okay.”
Kang Woo-jin suppressed his rising excitement as much as possible and coldly gave an OK sign..
The morning of the 9th arrived quickly, a day later..
Around 10 o'clock on Tuesday.
Woojin could be found in the large conference room of the large company Nongshin. Next to him are even five or six people, including Choi Seong-gun and BW Entertainment's marketing team. Even the employees. The people of Farming God on the other side were also five or six..
It was a very large meeting..
Of course, the meeting started with Kang Woo-jin's praise from the Nonshin staff. Well, actually, there is already a hallway outside this conference room..
“Wow, Kang Woo-jin is really crazy in person.??”
The Nongshin employees who came to see Woojin are all over the place..
“I saw you go in earlier, and you look good physically..”
“Really, I honestly didn't know that there was an actor award, but now that I see Kang Woo-jin, I understand..”
“The aura is definitely different... My ability to wear a long coat has also improved. Why is your face so small???”
Anyway, the meeting with Peasant and Woojin went very smoothly..
“Mr. Woojin, we have given you a few things in advance, but we are aiming to commercialize ‘Kimjaban Makguksu’ as quickly as possible..”
Of course, it wasn't Fiturumaturu. Very detailed and complex conversations are going on. Woojin, who had a strong face, tried to understand with a strong demeanor, but.
‘Thorn Cushion - I want to escape.’
Honestly, my bones hurt. Whatever it was, the main point of the long meeting was this. 'We'll take care of it, so Kang Woo-jin, please take charge of all the public relations when the time comes..’
“Of course, as you can see from the design predictions, Woojin's image will be included in the product..”
Instead, the recipe had to be provided to Saturnalia. Woojin provides promotions and recipes. I only remembered these two things. Choi Seong-gun would be fully responsible for the money anyway, and the contract part was to be handled by BW Entertainment..
All Kang Woo-jin had to do was solemnly say one word..
“Please take care of me.”
This one word was the starting point for the commercialization of ‘Kimjaban Makguksu’..
The next day, Wednesday the 10th. Tokyo, Japan.
The area near Tokyo Station in Japan, where Kang Woo-jin's heroic tales are still full of beauty. A gray building with a statue of a famous animation character at the entrance, easily over 10 floors tall..
-‘A10 Studio’
It was the A10 Studio building, one of the top three animation production companies. A medium-sized recording studio inside ‘A10 Studio’. Despite the luxury of producing a large-scale animation, the recording studio had a very ordinary feel. There are life-size figures of characters all over the booth..
and.
“······”
A woman who appears to be in her 40s is sitting on a sofa in a recording studio, looking down at her cell phone. She, with her dark brown hair and good-natured appearance, was a familiar face. She was Saya Asami, a famous voice actress who recently became involved with Kang Woo-jin through her piano playing..
Saya, who was alone, was looking at her SNS. Still, he spat out Japanese with an embarrassed expression..
“Ha - things have gotten too big. I guess I didn't hurt Woojin for no reason.?”
Her daughter, Asami Yusako, was happy to run around, but Saya was worried. It was even more so because there was no action on Kang Woo-jin's side..
‘Should I at least send a DM??’
at that time.
-Sigh.
The thick door of the recording studio opened and about three employees of ‘A10 Studio’ entered. The leader among them was the female team leader of the planning department of the animation ‘Boyfriend: Remake.’ Next, Saya and her employees exchanged brief updates and greetings, and the female team leader handed Saya her tablet and got to the point..
“Saya, we are preparing a new animation this time. Nothing has been announced externally yet, but we are currently casting voice actors, and there is a role we really want Saya to play..”
Voice actor suggestion. Since Saya had already participated in many hit films, she had been expecting it since the request for a meeting at 'A10 Studio' came. However, she had recently finished one of her works, so it was time for a break, and more than anything, Saya was planning to work on another animation work that she had been invited to do a long time ago..
“Um, sorry. I don't think I have time right now.”
“Oh, is that so? That's too bad. In fact, Kang Woo-jin was chosen to be the male lead voice actor for this work..”
In an instant, Saya's expression changes suddenly..
“Who? Woojin Kang?”
“yes. I thought there would be synergy with Saya - but if you don't have time,.”
“no.”
Saya suddenly changed her attitude without even looking back..
“I'll do it, that piece. I really want to do it.”
