I was immediately mistaken as a monster genius actor - Episode 458

in America. No, the ‘Academy Awards’, the most prestigious film festival in the world. The 'Academy Awards' is also called the 'Oscar' and has been the goal and dream stage of all filmmakers around the world, including the United States. This is an event that has already been held over 70 times with history and tradition, as well as a place where you can get a lot of attention just by being nominated, even if you don't necessarily win an award..
Of course, if you win, you will receive a greater honor than a candidate..
‘Everything about the 'Academy Awards', from nominations to confirmation of awards, is decided by the votes of thousands of 'members' distributed around the world. After the first round of voting, the 'Academy Awards' announces the confirmed nominees and actors, then conducts a second round of voting, and then holds an official awards ceremony to announce the winning works and actors. 'Members' are actors, directors, key staff in various fields, and are distributed all over the world..
Of course, in order to receive votes from 'members', the conditions of the 'Academy Award' must be met, and the most basic of the many conditions is that the film be released for more than one week in a theater in LA, USA..
In addition to that, there are many other conditions other than the running time of the movie..
In this way, the works and actors selected through various quests and complex processes receive awards at the Academy Awards. And until now, Korea has never won an award at the Academy Awards. To begin with, the only Korean actor currently active in Hollywood was Kang Woo-jin, and in the past it was rare, so it was natural. In addition, even in Asia as a whole, the performance at the Academy Awards is poor..
However, since last year, for the first time in the history of the Academy Awards, Korean actors have been frequently mentioned..
Kang Woo-jin is causing a sensation in Hollywood..
It was at the start of the Cannes Film Festival that he suddenly began to be mentioned alongside the 'Academy Award'. After Woojin received the Best Actor Award at Cannes, he mentioned the ‘Academy Award’ in his acceptance speech with the world watching. With ‘Nopakku’. This was the first time in the entire world, and as it grew so big, there was no way the group in charge of the ‘Academy Awards’ did not know about Kang Woo-jin..
American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS)).
Kang Woo-jin even mentioned the ‘Academy Awards’ at press conferences and interviews after Cannes, and at the recent ‘Emmy Awards’. Therefore, Kang Woo-jin was very famous within ‘AMPAS’, which hosts the ‘Academy Awards’..
“This is the first time a Korean actor is mentioned this much.?”
“That's right, and there's never been a Korean actor ignoring the 'Academy Awards' so much..”
“ignore? Well, it's true that his tone is a little harsh, but given his comments from Cannes to the recent Emmy Awards, it should be seen as a challenge rather than a dismissal..”
“That's a completely different idea. Kang Woo-jin From Cannes, he treated the ‘Academy Awards’ as something that anyone could easily pass over. I don't think he should step foot in the Academy Awards.”
“Well - his image isn't that good even among actors..”
“In a way, there is a part of him that has really focused attention because of his rampage, and I feel that the interest is the hottest this year more than any other year..”
‘Within 'AMPAS', the evaluations were diverse, including people who openly disliked Kang Woo-jin, people who were neutral, and people who were positive. There were also people who made fairly cool-headed judgments..
“When the 'Academy Award' was mentioned at Cannes, I saw it as just a burst of excitement, but it is not unusual for it to increase in popularity. In fact, he even won the Best Actor award at the Emmy Awards. For some reason, I think he'll do something wrong at the 'Academy Awards' this year.?”
'AMPAS', where the first selection of works has already begun, was hot with Kang Woo-jin's story. But for now, they too are just taking a wait-and-see attitude. In the end, the 'Academy Award' nominations are decided by the votes of 'members'..
“Kang Woo-jin's expectations and interest are so high that it will affect the votes of actor 'members'. Even if he performs normally, there is a possibility that he will receive low scores this time..”
“What I'm saying is that if you don't have explosive acting skills that defy expectations, you won't even be a candidate..”
“‘If you look at the performance shown at the 'Emmy Awards' or the poster and trailer for 'Clierrot', it looks like a shocking visual..”
Well, 'Cierrot: Birth of a Villain' hasn't been released to the world yet, but perhaps the evaluation of Kang Woo-jin started long ago..
“It's a character I'm looking forward to, but the acting needs to easily surpass those shocking visuals..”
1Mon 11th, 'spt studio’.
‘A vast set complex filled with the world of ‘Beast and Beauty’. Among them, a man entered the luxurious banquet hall. It was Kang Woo-jin wearing tight tights..
-Sigh.
There are hundreds of people watching Kang Woo-jin as he enters a banquet hall with not very bright lighting and many patterns on the floor. Director Bill Lautner wearing headphones and staring intently at the monitor, 'Beast and Beauty' actors including Maria Armas, 'World Disney Pictures' officials, and easily over a hundred staff..
Everyone holds their breath.
“······”
“······”
I just watched Woojin as the camera angle came in. His outfit was tights, but unlike in the past, no one laughed. Everything was very serious. There may be things you get used to.
‘An expression that is a mixture of anticipation and anxiety, a gait with the heaviness of a 'beast' but with caution, heavy breathing, and stiff yet dangerous gestures. I can't even see the special costume anymore..’
Just as director Bill Lautner, with his nose glued to the monitor, was muttering to himself, Kang Woo-jin neatly erased the sense of ridiculousness by releasing the 'beast' he had engraved into reality. In the eyes of hundreds of foreigners, Kang Woo-jin only appeared as a 'beast' wearing a blue ball gown..
That kind of Kang Woo-jin.
-Zech.
I stopped in front of the piano placed on one side of the empty banquet hall. A golden piano on a white background. Kang Woo-jin, who was currently feeling the ‘beast’ all over his body, felt anxious for some reason. The camera captured a close-up of Woojin, whose eyes were slightly trembling..
‘can i be like this?’
Is it okay to have such fun times? Woojin Kang. ‘The Beast’ was like a life terminal. Even at this moment, his existence was being erased little by little. It's not a 'beast', it's its original form. I was anxious. I felt anxious. He wasn't mature. I wanted to roar in anger right now, like a child trembling in fear..
But Kang Woo-jin suppressed his excessive feelings..
A dull breath came out of his mouth, but he tried to remain calm and sat down on the piano chair. A creaking sound was heard due to his massive size. In reality, no sound was heard, but it was definitely heard in Kang Woo-jin's ears. The sounds of chatter around the banquet hall also passed by. It's them. Clocks, teacups, kettles, etc. Kang Woo-jin's vision was already 'The Beast and Beauty' itself..
“······”
Embarrassment soared, but Kang Woo-jin held it back. Yes, it's all because of her. She is a woman who suddenly appears and shakes my unfinished heart. She wanted to show off, to relieve her tension even just a little..
‘No-no. I want to let you know that I am human..’
I wanted to show the smell of people. He looks like a monster now, but in the past he was a human just like you. So don't be scared.
-♬♪
Kang Woo-jin or ‘The Beast’ started playing. A soft melody spread throughout the banquet hall. It was a clearly different performance from the initial 'Beast', and a blonde woman wearing a light yellow dress appeared in the banquet hall. Miley Kara. No, it was ‘Beautiful Bella’. With her blonde hair in a single braid, she slowly approached the ‘beast’ sitting at the piano. 'Beautiful Bella' smiled as she put her hand on his shoulder.
Woojin, who made eye contact with her while playing, did not smile. She awkwardly avoided looking at Kara..
But Kara said with a brighter smile.
“It's a pretty song.”
Several cameras, including those mounted on cranes, took pictures of the banquet hall. The images of the ‘beast’ and the ‘beauty’ are captured at once, but the composition is different. Kang Woo-jin's piano playing became more intense, and the candles on her pillars caught fire. The same goes for the ceiling chandelier. Kara, who was watching the ‘Beast’, stood in the center of the banquet hall..
And then.
-Sigh.
I started dancing fluidly to the piano playing. A soft song was also added. Kara, who was spinning around, grabbed Kang Woo-jin, or 'Beast', who was playing the piano, and dragged her away. Woojin hesitated and followed her touch. The piano playing stopped, but the music echoing through the banquet hall continued..
-♬♪
Kara was enjoying dancing, and Kang Woo-jin was accepting her more cautiously than dancing. Her anxious expression, wondering if he would step on her foot or trip her, was captured on camera. That's roughly about 5 minutes. The song reached its climax, and mysterious things began to mix in the exchange of glances between Kang Woo-jin and Kara. Kara has finally expressed her 'true' feelings and her feelings as 'Beautiful Bella' with ease..
Her clear blue eyes looked at Kang Woo-jin..
‘Woojin, the ‘beast’, has blonde hair. I looked at 'Beautiful Bella' and muttered quietly..
“······thank you.”
Kara asked, tilting her head slightly..
“What?”
“Well, just everything..”
“Thank you too.”
What should I do with this smiling woman? ‘The Beast’ was scared of this happiness.
“If everything... disappears, I won't be able to endure it..”
The music continued to play, but Kara's dancing stopped. She glanced at the listless 'Beast' and suddenly.
“are you okay.”
hugged him.
“It won't disappear.”
Here, ‘The Beast’ and ‘The Beauty’ stopped speaking and moving. In the set banquet hall, no one spoke as if time had stopped. It was at this time.
“···cut.”
In front of the monitor, director Bill Lautner, wearing headphones around his neck, stood up and signed..
“OK.”
As it was, he gave generous applause to the two actors..
Then, the next morning, ‘World Disney Pictures’ released an official announcement..
『LA TIME/'World Disney Pictures' side “‘Beast and Beauty’ cranked up yesterday, will be a fantastic live-action adaptation”』
‘Filming for ‘The Beast and Beauty’ has ended..
a few days later.
Kang Woo-jin could be found in small and medium-sized theaters. The theater can roughly accommodate 100 people. However, this was a theater inside ‘Columbia Studios’, not outside. Woojin’s seat is in the middle..
“······”
Kang Woo-jin's expression, wearing his hat tightly pressed down, was more solemn than ever. A face full of indifference. But deep inside, she was expressing her curiosity about this theater..
‘Wow - crazy, Hollywood of course! They just do the test preview at the movie theater! What is the scale? It's a decent Korean theater.??’
Is it really Hollywood? Kang Woo-jin tried to cool down her excitement, but crossed his legs as if he were relaxed. At the same time she felt a little sparkle in front.
‘Ah - bald head.’
A bald-headed executive from Columbia Studios was sitting in the front row. Of course, there were other executives on either side of him. Kang Woo-jin took a quick look around. On the right, pony-haired Choi Seong-geon is staring at the screen in front. It was a serious face. On the left are director Ang Bok with a wrinkled face, followed by executive producers Nora Foster and Chris Hartnett. The actors of ‘Clierot’ were present..
In the back, there are dozens of key staff and officials..
Everyone came to see the beginning of the ‘Cinematic Universe’.
That's right, right now, Kang Woo-jin was attending a test preview of the completed 'Cierrot: Birth of a Villain', and it was just before 'Joker' was displayed on the screen. Kang Woo-jin's 'Villain' is revealed to the world for the first time.
Kang Woo-jin, who rolled his eyes without notice, also.
-Sigh.
I turned my attention to the screen in front. A slight tension runs through my body..
‘Oh, I'm a little nervous..’
I was anxious. I wonder if I can hear the faint sound of my heart beating in a quiet situation. The more this happened, the more extreme the mind control of Kang Woo-jin became..
‘It's okay, it's always a test, right? calm down. It just got bigger because of the space. Okay.’
Director Anga Bok, with his arms crossed, glanced at Woojin, whose expression did not change..
‘It's okay, there's no reason to be anxious. You should like the 'Joker' I finished..’
Chris Hartnett was also looking at Kang Woo-jin's face and then turned his gaze straight ahead again..
‘Oh my, it looks like I'm the only one nervous. He's so calm, I shouldn't be nervous..’
It was time for him to let out a long sigh..
-Sooooo.
The lights throughout the theater went dark. Then, the video was displayed on the black front screen and the sound rang loudly..
-[“Kkkkkkk! Hahahaha, hahahahaha!”]
The loud sound of a man's laughter. The embarrassed face of reporter Chris or 'Robert Franklin' appeared on the screen. The back of the red head's head is also printed at the same angle. The bizarre laughter grew louder, and the soft classical singing gradually became louder..
-♬♪
Classical songs were playing in a common restaurant, and a different face appeared on the screen that was showing reporter Robert Franklin with a mysterious expression..
-[“Hehehehe, hahahahahahahahahahaha!”]
Wet, flowing red hair, pale face, torn red lips, red jacket and pants, and mismatched socks. She was a 'Joker' who laughed mercilessly. Reporter Robert Franklin asked him:.
-[“······Okay, why are you smiling all of a sudden??”]
‘‘Joker’ or Kang Woo-jin waved his hand..
-[“Kkkkkk, ah sorry sorry friend.”]
This time, it's the front bust of the Anglo 'Joker' that catches the back of the reporter's head. He continued to laugh while taking long drags on his cigarette. He looks crazy, but when he smiles, he just looks like a monster. 'Joker' made an index finger upwards.
-[“I have fond memories of this song. I remembered that time.”]
At that moment, the screen changes to show ‘Joker’. A black and white screen with no color. Inside a flour-covered pizza place, heavy chunks of meat strewn on the floor, liquid all around them..
and.
-[“······”]
‘Henry Gordon’ paints his lips with a tearful smile using that liquid. The classical music playing here was the same song as the one at the restaurant earlier..
-♬♪
The song gradually got louder. The theater is ringing to leave. Then the screen gradually turned black and a title appeared in the center of the black screen..
-
It was a white title with a rough feel. There was also a subheading underneath it..
-
At this point, all the foreigners gathered in the theater.
‘······It's killing me.’
‘I couldn't help but fall in love with 'Joker'.
