I was immediately mistaken as a monster genius actor - Episode 463

sold out? All time zones? Sincerity? Kang Woo-jin's expression was indifferent as he put his cell phone to his ear, but his inner self was very surprised..
‘What does this mean? They say the first day was completely sold out.??’
Woojin, who didn't answer right away, checked the time. It is now a little past noon. Around 12:10. As far as Kang Woo-jin knows, the reservation opening time for ‘Cierrot’ was 12 o’clock today. It is not sequential, but all 33 theaters open at once at 12 o'clock. That means.
‘No, tickets for the first day sold out in 10 minutes? Wow crazy.’
10Minutes, 10 minutes. Even though it was a pre-release and only available at 33 theaters in LA and New York, Woojin didn't really feel that the tickets for the first day were sold out in just 10 minutes. Because it was my first time experiencing it..
‘You wouldn't know it in an hour, but it was sold out in one day.-’
When a theater shows 'Clierot', there are 5 to 8 time slots per theater, from morning to night. The number of audience seats varies depending on the theater, but approximately 300 to 400 seats are available. When set to maximum, the number of viewers is 3200. If that's 33 theaters, it's over 100,000, and if the number of screenings increases due to release, the number of hundreds of thousands per day is ridiculous..
The hundreds of thousands of tickets sold out in just 10 minutes.?
‘Is that possible???’
Of course, this is America, not Korea, and the difference is like heaven and earth. Anyway, when Kang Woo-jin was silent, Chris Hartnett spoke over the phone..
“Did you hear me? The first day of opening was sold out..”
“···Yeah, I heard it..”
“oh my god. It was over in 10 minutes? I haven't seen anything like this either.”
I'm saying it's rare. It was safe to say that it was a rare case..
“even! I heard that it was almost sold out on the second day of release.?!”
Even on the second day? What, what is happening now? Woojin expected it to be somewhat popular, but honestly, I never even thought about this level of firepower. Kang Woo-jin's reaction was lukewarm, perhaps because it lacked a sense of reality, and I desperately felt Chris jumping around on the other side of the phone..
“It feels like not only Korea but the whole world is flocking here.??”
Next, Chris guessed about the bright future of ‘Cierrot’..
“At this rate, by the time of the first screening on the 9th, all tickets for the two-week pre-release may be sold out.?”
Around the time when Kang Woo-jin, who was dumbfounded on the inside but calm on the outside, returned to the photoshoot, foreign media outlets were quickly reporting the news about 'clown'..
First, reservations for the entire pre-release schedule have been opened..
『LA TIME/'Academy Award-winning'Clierot: Birth of a Villain', pre-release tickets open for 2 weeks!』
Second, as soon as ticket sales opened, tickets for the first day were sold out in just 10 minutes..
『BBX/ Amazing Thing! As soon as tickets for 'Clierot: Birth of a Villain' opened, tickets sold out in 10 minutes on the first day of pre-release.!』
『CNM/Sold out in 10 minutes, interest exploded as soon as tickets for ‘Clierrot: Birth of a Villain’ opened』
Moreover, while Woojin was absent from the photo shoot, it was sold out by the second day..
Currently, tickets for the third day are selling out rapidly. Of course, the same applies to tickets for other days. Whatever it is, the reason why the news related to 'Cierrot' spread so quickly is because overseas media moved quickly, but it was also because of the quick action of 'Columbia Studio', which focused on publicity..
Just like that, night came, and Kang Woo-jin, who finished his schedule for the day, including the photo shoot, did not get off work right away..
“Hello, Woojin..”
“hello.”
I got to meet executive producer Nora Foster. The location is, of course, ‘Columbia Studios.’’.
The topic of the meeting with Nora along with some of the production crew was simple. Checking the promotional schedule for 'Clierrot', which will soon be released in advance, and 'Bat: Birth of a Hero', which will be the next film of 'Clierrot', etc., which will be released later. Why is she still involved with the next film in the 'Cinematic Universe'? Because once again Nora served as producer..
Anyway, Nora, who was very impressed, started talking about something else to Kang Woo-jin before this topic..
“Things are taking a strange turn. I had high expectations, but I had no idea that the pre-release of ‘Cierrot: Birth of a Villain’ would be on fire like this from the start..”
“Yes, I was surprised too.”
“hmm? Aside from that, you look very calm right now.?”
“It's because time has passed..”
Nora, who had no way of knowing about Kang Woo-jin's concept, handed Woo-jin a tablet. Information related to the pre-release of ‘Clierrot’ was being displayed on the screen, and Nora began her briefing while looking at the same tablet..
“Of the two-week pre-release schedule, two days have been sold out, and there is a high possibility that the third day will be sold out tomorrow. Even on the fourth day, it was half sold out..”
Woojin was inwardly exclaiming as he looked at the organized tables, but on the outside he was apathetic..
“okay.”
Soon, Nora Foster swept her hair, which was slightly longer than bob, a couple of times. trying hard to hide one's excitement.
“To be honest, the pre-release of ‘Clierrot’ is more about the ‘Academy Awards’ than box office success. That's why the number of theaters was limited to 33. But if I had known it would be like this, I would have increased it as much as possible..”
“If that were the case, it wouldn't have had this impact..”
Nora nodded in approval and touched the tablet with her index finger..
“If this trend continues, there is a possibility that the first week will be sold out - no, the entire two-week pre-release schedule will be sold out. It's a slightly absurd yet happy situation, but in my view, it's a mixture of many things..”
She started folding her fingers.
“First of all, 'Clierot' has been on an unusual path since before production, including winning an 'Academy Award', and is also the first film in the 'Cinematic Universe' that 'Columbia Studios' has put its life on the line. In such a movie, the director is Gabok Ahn and you are the male lead. Skills and abilities may be great, but the public may be skeptical..”
“I understand.”
“And the ‘Academy Award’. The path that ‘Clierrot’ takes to the ‘Academy Awards’ is very unique, so it is bound to attract the public’s attention. Additionally, several issues have emerged so far. 'Clierrot: Birth of a Villain' already has an abnormally high level of awareness before its release, and it will be released in advance for two weeks before 'Clierrot' goes to the 'Academy Awards'. This is an opportunity to see ‘Clierrot’ before the prestigious ‘Academy Awards’ in the public’s eyes..”
Kang Woo-jin, who was quietly listening to the explanation, answered lowly..
“limited sale, limited time.”
“that's right. It must be similar when you think of luxury goods with limited sales, and I think that uniqueness stimulates people..”
At that moment, Woojin thought of a case where he had to pay more for products that were in smaller quantities..
‘I think I saw it. Open run as soon as the luxury shop opens..’
High- value luxury goods sell out quickly, even if they are expensive. In other words, ‘Cierrot: Birth of a Villain’ was also said to be of high value to the public. It was a very rare move, and it was an opportunity that the public would never have again..
Nora then continued, pointing to Kang Woo-jin..
“With the influence of Kang Woo-jin added to all of this, the firepower has increased several times..”
“······”
“Kang Woo-jin and the 'Academy Award' are inseparable issues, as they have stimulated the media and public opinion from the past to the present. Either positive or negative. There are probably more negative things, but I was already waiting for it, but now that it is being released in advance, people are flocking to it. In addition, many hot topics, such as this dating rumor, also added strength..”
After hearing this, it turned out that Kang Woo-jin understood the sell-out situation to some extent, and Nora Foster's face became a little more serious..
“It's good that this pre-release, the two-week schedule, is all sold out - Woojin, I'm sure there are many people among those hundreds of thousands of viewers who reserved tickets to criticize you..”
Woojin, whose expression did not change at all, answered calmly..
“It doesn't matter, because criticism means nothing to me..”
backwards.
Kang Woo-jin was aware of the changes related to the pre-release of 'Clierrot: Birth of a Villain', but also managed to schedule it. The only way I could figure it out was by hearing about it or looking it up on my phone, but I was still able to enjoy it from time to time..
‘oh! Sold out by the fourth day!’
This too was immediately announced to the world by ‘Columbia Studios’..
It's about creating a flow. Everyone is so fiercely seeking tickets, so anyone who sees this article should move quickly. Meanwhile, the dating rumor between Kang Woo-jin and Kara has become more and more of an issue even as several days have passed..
『LA TIME/Kang Woo-jin and Miley Kara, who are in love, the proof is that they do not reveal their clear position.』
The world's public, including communities and SNS, was sharply divided on whether the two were dating or not. No, actually, there were more opponents. This picture is possible because Miley Cara's fans are spread all over the world..
Extreme fans.
-It makes sense for someone like Kang Woo-jin to date Miley.?
-Go back to Korea, Kang Woo-jin!
-Kang Woo-jin is sticking with Miley for no reason and ruining her image.!
The level of passionate criticism of Kang Woo-jin was beyond crying. Either way, Woojin was not shaken at all. Meanwhile, other matters related to him proceeded smoothly without any panic..
The movie 'The Guest' stars Miley Cara and Chris Hartnett.
“This scene.”
“Yes, director.”
“It was originally an outdoor location shoot, but it would be better to change it to a set..”
“I'll check it out.”
Pre- production was starting and picking up speed. All employees and CEO of 'A8 Media', Jennifer Thurman, were extremely busy, and it was decided that Jennifer would take over as producer and general production manager of the work..
In addition, 'A8 Media' also announced to Hollywood that Kang Woo-jin would make a special appearance in 'Guest'..
Then about 7 days.
『ABY/ People flock to LA and New York from all over the world! ‘Clierot: Birth of a Villain’ tickets sold out for 1 out of 2 weeks of pre-release!』
‘During the two-week pre-release period for 'Clierrot', news is spreading throughout Hollywood that one week's tickets have been sold out..
“Please enjoy this work as well, Woojin Kang..”
“That's me.”
The contract with Kang Woo-jin for ‘Bat: Birth of a Hero’ has been finalized. It took about a week of coordination, but fortunately it ended without a problem..
And Kang Woo-jin’s ransom is.
‘Wow - Shiba!! My ransom price is truly ridiculous!! How many houses is this???!’
Of course, it jumped more than twice as much as before..
It was coach Ang Bok who took over the baton, and his contract was also completed without a hitch. With this, the blueprint for ‘Bat: Birth of a Hero’ was completed..
8On the morning of the following day, news was delivered to Kang Woo-jin that he would return to filming. It was from the mouth of Choi Seong-gun..
“Woo Jin-ah, caught on the first day of filming ‘John Persona’. February 27th.”
‘It was a few days after the pre-release schedule for ‘Clillero’ was completed..
2Morning of the 9th, downtown LA.
The time was a little past 9 o'clock. Because of the time, downtown LA was literally full of people and cars. People were hurrying on the sidewalks, and the jam-packed roads were filled with strong honking sounds here and there..
A multiplex movie theater in the heart of the city..
It is the largest movie theater brand in the United States and is famous for being the largest in LA. Soon, a black van stopped in front of the movie theater building..
-Tongue!
Several familiar figures got out of the car. Korean you can hear right away.
“Wow - the movie theater is big? Are we going to use up this building??”
“It's big, but I heard it's all used up..”
“Well, it exceeded my expectations..”
“Director, please be careful..”
Hong Hye-yeon with long, straight hair, Ryu Jeong-min with long hair these days, perhaps due to a break, and Director Kwon Ki-taek, who has become even more affectionate. People in Korea showed up at a movie theater in downtown LA. Next, there were five or six people, including employees, and everyone, led by Ryu Jeong-min, moved toward the movie theater. Ryu Jeong-min, Hong Hye-yeon. In Korea, they are the top of the top, but here in LA, few people recognize them..
A few people glanced at it, but there wasn't much action..
By the time I reached the entrance to the movie theater building,.
“Wow, Woojin is cool..”
“omg!”
Ryu Jeong-min and Hong Hye-yeon expressed admiration and surprise almost at the same time. Director Kwon Ki-taek also participated..
“Hehe, yeah. Seeing that makes me realize how great Woojin is..”
What they found was a large billboard erected right in front of the entrance to the movie theater. It was more than five times the height of a person, and the billboard showed a strange man with red hair and a pale face. It was ‘Joker’.
In other words, Kang Woo-jin.
A movie theater located in the center of downtown LA. The entrance billboard is the face of the movie theater. On that huge billboard, only Kang Woo-jin's 'Joker' was hanging. Many foreigners were even busy taking pictures in front of that ‘clown’ billboard. Of course, Hong Hye-yeon and Ryu Jung-min also entrusted themselves to the trend of proof shots..
After taking photos for about 10 minutes, they crossed the entrance of the movie theater and entered the lobby..
Soon, Hong Hye-yeon’s screams rang out..
“What, what!! Why are there so many people? this is right?!!”
The wide movie theater lobby was filled with all kinds of people with no room to step. Even saying it was crowded would be an understatement. The murmur was so loud that I felt like I was in a cave..
The number of people was in the hundreds, and Hong Hye-yeon, whose eyes grew wide, quietly recited without realizing it..
“These people...they all came to see 'Clierot'?”
Ryu Jeong-min, whose pupils were also dilated, answered.
“···‘Clown said he rented an entire movie theater today, so that's probably true..”
“······In other words, everyone came to see Kang Woo-jin.?”
‘There is less than an hour left until the first screening of ‘Cclanger: Birth of a Villain’..
