I was immediately mistaken as a monster genius actor - Episode 257
Kang Woo-jin’s current form was like this. Hair down in a calm manner, white shirt buttoned up to the neck, well-pressed slacks, and shoes. Of course, they were all luxury goods and they were also costumes for filming..
But overall, there was a strong feeling that they were dressed appropriately. The makeup is also light..
As Kang Woo-jin stood on the lawn of the huge house set, the staff's murmur passed by. what? Woojin raised his head..
Kang Woo-jin immediately realized why the staff had become so busy..
‘Eh??’
Although his face was solid, Kang Woo-jin was very surprised as soon as he saw the foreigners standing at the beginning of the set. No, she was a little ravenous too..
‘that giant!!’
Because Joseph Felton, whom I had briefly met in LA, was standing there. He is tall, black, and has a strong upper body that seems to pierce the sky. It was certain. Joseph's impression was so strong that I could not forget him..
The problem here is.
‘What?? Why is that guy here??’
A producer who is famous even in Hollywood suddenly appeared on the scene of ‘Leech’. even.
‘Are the teams together???’
I didn't come alone. There were a lot of foreigners hanging around. It was then. Woojin’s gaze as he looked at Joseph moved slightly to the right. A foreign woman can be seen covering her face with a hat and mask. Woojin immediately recognized her identity..
‘crazy? Kara? That girl is Miley Kara??!’
I couldn't see his face, but it was almost certain because of his flowing blonde hair and overall silhouette, and especially because he was standing with Joseph. Kang Woo-jin's thoughts immediately became jumbled and tangled. It was only natural that Joseph, a producer who commands Hollywood, and Kara, a global superstar, suddenly appeared on the 'Leech' scene..
What? Maybe grandpa? No, are you friends with director Gabok Ang? Or severe ho?
Or maybe Oh Hee-ryeong or other actors. However, Woojin was not overly excited. This was because the habitual concept was strong. Thanks to that, I was able to maintain a poker face. At that time, Joseph, a black man, noticed Woojin's gaze and raised his large hand. A small greeting to Kang Woo-jin. The smile was a bonus.
On the other hand, Kara doesn't move at all. Maybe it's because of that disguise..
Whatever it was, there were few people at this site who knew for sure the identity of that group of foreigners. Director Ahn Ga-bok and Kang Woo-jin were the only ones involved. Maybe that's why the whispers from dozens of staff members became extensive..
“Who are those foreigners??”
“I don't know, but something - kills the force..”
“Was this a situation discussed with the director??”
Joseph, aware of the atmosphere, muttered softly in English to Kara, who was standing on his right..
“Kara, did you feel the atmosphere? You must never show your face. If it's okay, I'd rather not say anything..”
Kara put her hat down even further and let out a cold voice..
“I know, I'm not stupid.”
“I'm emphasizing.”
“Still, I will say hello to Woojin..”
“Well, it looks like Kang Woo-jin already figured out who we are? Even now, you look at us for a few seconds and then turn your attention to the scenario..”
“······But the energy between your hobbies and your main job is definitely different, Woojin. It's unique.”
It was the assistant director who interrupted the conversation between the two. He ran after receiving instructions from director Gabok Ang. In his hands were necklaces proving his status as a staff member. Soon, staff necklaces were hung around the necks of the entire foreign team other than Joseph and Kara. Only at this time did the murmurings of the entire ‘Leech’ staff subside..
They probably recognized me as a visitor..
at the same time.
“3 minutes before standby!!”
The assistant director who handed over the necklace shouted into the radio. Then the staff finished their work in perfect order and left the filming zone..
Only actor Kang Woo-jin remains in the large lawn yard..
“······”
It was natural since it was a standalone cut. All cameras placed are pointed at him. The same goes for reflectors and lights. The boom microphone is also hung above Woojin. One large camera is mounted on a small crane to take pictures from multiple angles..
In other words, the epic first shot of ‘Leech’ begins with Kang Woo-jin..
Director Ang Bok, with short gray hair, sat in a place where about four monitors were placed. Several staff members other than the scripter were around him. Actors including Shim Shim-ho, Oh Hee-ryeong, and Han So-jin who were waiting in the tent all came out. It's not about celebrating the long-awaited crank-in moment..
‘······On-site acting including set and movement. How did that kid come up with his acting?.’
‘I already saw it during the audition - but I'll still watch it..’
‘If I think about it, I couldn't really see Park Ha-seong's acting during the audition. Although ‘Chairman Yoon Jeong-bae’ was sufficiently unconventional,······’
I wanted to see Kang Woo-jin's 'Park Ha-seong'..
It is not about acting opposite or auditioning in a small theater, but to experience real acting on this properly prepared set..
this moment.
“let's go.”
Director Anga Bok’s old voice spread through the loudspeakers. About 100 staff members remain silent. Joseph and Kara swallowed their saliva as they looked at Woojin in the filming zone..
and.
“Hui - action.”
As soon as the signal was fired.
-Sigh.
Kang Woo-jin's eyes changed as he looked at the camera in an instant..
At the same time, artist Nana Choi’s studio.
About five people sat at a desk in the center of the living room. Writer Choi Nana, whose face is full of tension, and producer Song Man-woo, who is seriously reading a stack of paper. Of course, it was a script. Transcript of the last episode of ‘Beneficial Evil’. Writer Nana Choi has finished writing, but her final hurdle remains. It was producer Song Man-woo’s confirmation. The production manager and assistant writers are also reading the script..
“······”
Writer Choi Nana just looks at producer Song Man-woo. A face that says her mouth is dry. Anyway, PD Song Man-woo checked the script without delay..
-Palak.
It's already the last chapter. Producer Song Man-woo, who checked all the contents of the script, issued a thick script. And then he brushed his beard..
“hmm.”
Writer Nana Choi, raising her round glasses, rushed in like crazy..
“Oh, how are you???”
Producer Song Man-woo, who was serious, looked at her. The funny thing is that a smile gradually spreads on his face..
“Okay, no, I'll kill you, writer Choi..”
Artist Nana Choi, whose eyes suddenly dilate.
“Really??! Are you really okay??!”
“huh. fun. To be honest, I think minor revisions are necessary, but that's part of the process for each script. I think it would be better to just go on like this without major surgery. How is everyone??”
People around him also gave a thumbs up. In other words, I passed. Artist Nana Choi then covered her face with both hands. Her timid personality is revealed on the outside..
“Ha... I'm glad. My heart almost stopped because I was scared..”
Producer Song Man-woo, who has a beard, laughs..
“Then write it. The author who will now spread all over the world.”
“···Honestly, I still don’t feel it..”
“You don’t have to force yourself to think. You will get a feel for it once it is launched..”
Producer Song Man-woo, with a bright smile, picked up his pen and began the next task..
“First of all, I will mark any parts that are questionable or need correction, so try to edit them as naturally as possible. And as soon as the writer finished editing, the manager handed over the script to Netflix..”
“Yes, PD..”
“As I pass along, I tell them that since the script work is finished, we will speed up the pace of pre-production..”
At this time, artist Nana Choi, who had been taking a breath while covering her face, lifted her head..
“ah! PD, what happened to that? When I called, they said they were meeting an actor... It went well.?”
“It was Hwarin..”
“Hwa, Hwarin??”
“yes. The two of you contact each other often, though not often..”
“yes yes! How are you?.”
“First of all, I made a casting offer to Hwarin and Ha Kang-soo. There is no definitive answer yet. But there's nothing to think about so urgently. On the contrary, it would be a bigger problem to force it and then get in trouble..”
“is it so?”
When asked again, producer Song Man-woo leaned back in his chair and let out a small sigh..
“‘Beneficial Evil's actor casting format itself is not typical, as different actors appear in each episode. More actors are used than in a normal mini, but the difference is that the actors' interactions are short and do not last until the end..”
“I guess······”
“You must have heard of it while assisting writer Park Eun-mi, right? Pre-production is different from live, so everything is filmed in perfect condition and all editing is completed before the broadcast begins. So, the quality has to be at least twice as high as that of the mini..”
Producer Song Man-woo, who was bending his neck here and there as if he was tired, continued speaking..
“That's why there are quite a few actors who avoid pre-production itself. Furthermore, our 'Beneficial Evil' is a huge success, but it has a challenging picture. If things go well, you'll be fine, but if things fail, you'll be devastated. The blow is several times stronger than normal. The image will also be ruined. As actors, we can't help but think about that..”
“······”
“Thanks to that, not all the actors on the casting board are drooling over me. They might even avoid it. But it's okay, honestly, having Kang Woo-jin in the center is enough..”
“The script itself is about the main character grabbing him by the collar - but it's a bit difficult for Woojin to carry it alone..”
“at all. Woojin will probably not be out of breath and won't make a big deal out of it. However, the intention is to hire other towers to spread the burden..”
Producer Song Man-woo responded and asked the production manager..
“I made a big fuss to all the domestic entertainment companies.?”
“Yes, long ago.”
“Preparing for the audition.”
“No problem.”
“Okay - I can take care of the theater company..”
Producer Song Man-woo nodded and again turned his gaze to writer Choi Nana, who was worried..
“It's okay if there are only a few tops other than Woojin. First of all, it is for domestic use. Anyway, the main focus of 'Beneficial Evil' will be all over the world, and to the overseas public, Korea's top actors or anything else will be equally unfamiliar. You just think that anyone is a Korean actor, regardless of their level..”
At that moment, a meaningful smile appeared on the face of bearded producer Song Man-woo..
“‘'Beneficial Evil' will have many unknown and new actors. That too quite a bit.”
Again, Jeonju. 'Leech''s single-family house set.
Kang Woo-jin stands alone in a large lawn yard. The moisture flowing throughout his body was no longer his own. It was ‘Park Ha-seong’. However, the color of the blood is darker than usual. It was natural. Kang Woo-jin's senses had already mastered not only the life of 'Park Ha-seong', but also the incidental things..
‘After going through the existing roles of ‘Leech’.
Their thoughts, perspectives, conflicts, and the world further emphasize the outline of ‘Park Ha-seong’ to Kang Woo-jin. In addition, although it is a set, the background of 'Leech', which was read (experienced) in subspace, added strength..
-Sabak.
The grass screams when stepped on. At the same time, the smell of grass permeated Woojin’s nose. There was no way it could smell. Because set grass is made. However, Woojin's sense of smell belongs to 'Park Ha-seong', so he felt the smell of grass..
Ah, it's comfortable..
According to the scenario, it wasn't Park Ha-seong at the beginning. It was him in the middle. The emotions are calm yet thick. A strange shiver started from Woojin's lower body and penetrated to his brain..
This is not the small theater where I auditioned..
‘It is a world of leeches. There is no need to manually watch the other person. All Kang Woo-jin had to do was enjoy the ‘Park Ha-seong’ that was emphasized several times more..
There is nothing in the way.
So Kang Woo-jin loosened the bolt. Park Ha-seong can show the real Park Ha-seong, not the Park Ha-seong who saves her strength. Now you can do whatever you want. It doesn't matter if you cross the line.
Soon, a lot disappeared from the eyes of Kang Woo-jin or Park Ha-seong..
You can see the cameras, the staff, Kara and Joseph, and the actors who came out to watch. In 'Leech', all the unrelated things dispersed like smoke, and all that remained in Kang Woo-jin's eyes was a large single-family house..
It's quiet. And I was devastated.
‘This is a diagonal line.’
It was the same whether it was Kang Woo-jin or Park Ha-seong. In particular, for Park Ha-seong, this place was like a battlefield where his life was at stake. Because Chairman Yoon Jeong-bae holds the line of life. If the deal with him doesn't go well, that snake-like person will very easily take your life..
‘Well, it's okay.’
But that deal is already quite old. Woojin melted into this huge place. The burden of feeling like I existed in another world has disappeared..
This is like my home.
“······Madam, what are you doing?.”
Woojin, who was spending some time in the grassy yard, moved his feet. The camera follows behind him. Kang Woo-jin entered the living room of a single-family home. It's quiet here too. The noise of the clock ticking was so loud that it rang loudly..
-Sooooo.
Kang Woo-jin swept the sofa in the living room with his hand. Just by feeling it, you can tell that the leather on this sofa is at least a few thousand years old. Woojin sits on the sofa. it's a shame. Let's sit on the sofa for one person.
“It's too soft.”
Woojin mutters and looks straight ahead. His face was displayed on the monitor. It wasn't expressionless. However, it is difficult to say what kind of expression this is. The corners of the mouth are slightly raised but a smile hides the intention, the eyes are calm but hide desire, and the actions are calm but cover up a stinking purpose..
“It's my house.”
It's mine. It's okay to accept it that way. Woojin got up from the sofa and touched things placed around the living room. Famous paintings on the walls, unique miniature dolls, high-end furniture, etc..
It can be saved or it can be destroyed..
If you do this, it’s not like you’re renting.?
‘‘Ripley Syndrome’. Believing in fiction and lies and acting accordingly. It was Kang Woo-jin or Park Ha-seong's first time standing in front of the camera, but even though he was suddenly thrown into the scene, he expressed 'Ripley syndrome' without any hesitation..
It was at this time.
-♬♪
Suddenly, the sound of the doorbell rang. A guest had arrived. Thanks to you, I pretended to be the owner. No, the owner, Kang Woo-jin, touched the intercom without hesitation..
“Who are you?”
The camera captured Park Ha-seong smiling from the side. Park Ha-seong opened the front door without hesitation. Soon, two middle-aged women came into the living room. They were officials of the organization to which his wife, Yoo Hyun-ji, donated. They looked around the huge house as if they were amazed, then looked at Kang Woo-jin standing in front and asked..
“Oh my, I guess it’s your wife’s son.?”
“I know. I heard you have two sons..”
Then Kang Woo-jin. No, Park Ha-seong bowed his head politely..
“you're right.”
lie? no. Currently, he truly believed it. That this is their world. It was that kind of face.
Not a single second of hesitation.
Soon, a dignified smile spread across Kang Woo-jin's mouth, and his posture also naturally became upright..
remain silent.
“······”
No one opened their mouths. Everyone except the over 100 staff members and actors just stared at Kang Woo-jin. After about 10 seconds, a familiar old voice burst through the living room..
“Wow-”
Soon, Director Ga-bok Ang, who gave the autograph, approached Woojin. Kang Woo-jin had already taken out 'Park Ha-seong', and the wrinkled face of director Ahn Ga-bok, who was close to him, showed a mixture of interest and shock..
“It's different, it's different from then.”
Director Ahn Ga-bok asked Woojin quietly..
“During the audition, you set a benchmark. What was Park Ha-seong that you saw at that time? Was it just a matter of mouth?.”
Kang Woo-jin’s answer to this was short. It was a low yet sarcastic tone..
“I didn't do it roughly, I did it appropriately..”
And frozen Miley Cara and Joseph. Among them, Joseph narrowed his eyebrows and cursed without realizing it..
“······What the fuck!”
