I was immediately mistaken as a monster genius actor - Episode 268
The film industry press was already on the verge of explosion due to talk of a movie version during the peak summer season. No, the bombardment had already begun..
『‘'Island of the Missing' starts at #1 in advance sales, beating other tentpole movies!』
The peak season for theaters also brings a new wind to the media. The same goes for the entertainment industry as a whole. New movies appear every week, and they wage war against each other. What an appetizing sight this is! It may be hell for movies, but for the media and the public, there is nothing like this to see..
『[[Movie is] “The theaters are brutal during the peak season”, ‘Island of the Missing’ is in first place, but reservation rates are expected to continue to fluctuate.』
Watch a movie that interests you and watch the situation of war in the movie. Which movies are gaining momentum or are on the defensive?.
The most fun thing about watching a fight is watching a fight..
Therefore, the eyes of not only the public but also the entire entertainment industry are focused on the theater district. This means that there is a lot of demand, and articles and news from various media have been flooding in over time..
And the hottest new movie at this time was ‘Island of the Missing’..
With so many movies being released, it ranks first in advance reservation rates. Of course, these numbers aren't everything and may be temporary, but for now, it's a positive enough situation..
‘tentpole movie’.
It refers to a commercial film that focuses on box office success, such as famous directors, actors, or huge capital investment. In other words, it is the same as saying that it is a highly anticipated work. If it is a successful hit and becomes a flagship film for the film industry, film companies, and distributors, like a tent pole, it can earn the title of tentpole masterpiece..
But there are many difficulties.
When it starts out, expectations are high as a tentpole movie, but when it fails at the box office, it is simply forgotten. Even if there are more than 10 movies that are considered tentpole movies, if all of them fail at the box office, none of them will receive the title..
The audience. In other words, the public is cold-hearted.
Even though it was a peak season for movies, the directors, film companies, distributors, and actors who presented the movies were on more than thin ice. Although we are expecting a tentpole masterpiece, it is also a situation where the long time and tens of billions of dollars invested will be lost in vain..
『‘Island of the Missing’ gets off to a good start, but word of mouth from the audience on the first day is key.』
In that sense, 'Island of the Missing', which currently has the highest reservation rate, was given a clear green light. It wasn't an unplay for promotional purposes. In fact, screening theaters of ‘Island of the Missing’ across the country were full of visitors. Woojin's friends who had just entered the theater to watch 'Island of the Missing' had their mouths wide open..
“Wow, there are so many people. Aren't you crazy???!”
“Yeah, that's right. This is my first time seeing so many people. ‘Island of the Missing’ firepower.”
“It's so amazing that Woojin is the main character in this movie..”
“Even though it's peak season on a red day... I never thought it would be this bustling..”
Regardless of seat location, the theater was full with several hundred seats. Audience members were still entering through the front door starting from the large screen. Daeyoung Kim with wide eyes, Kyungseong Lee holding a bucket of popcorn in one hand, and Hyeonggu Na clinging to his girlfriend. The three friends were confused by the scary crowd and somehow managed to sit down..
A little bit ahead of the middle.
As soon as they sat down, an advertisement started on the large screen as if they had been waiting for it. At the same time, Lee Kyung-seong, who was chewing popcorn, opened his mouth..
“In the meantime, did you find a good seat again? Daeyoung Kim is nice? All seats are occupied.”
“You said you bought the tickets as soon as they went on sale. Hyeyeon told me to do that. But now that I look at it, if it had been a little bit later, I would have left..”
The conversations of the visitors sitting around could be heard in the ears of my friends..
“Awesome! Brother, if we hadn't booked tickets, we would have been in real trouble, right???”
“Uh oh. Wow - it's been a while since I last saw a sold out movie..”
“Ha, I'm looking forward to it. Last time, ‘Drug Dealer’ was also a lot of fun. Since Kang Woo-jin appears again this time, it will be average.?”
“I don't know. But the preview reviews were very good. Plus, it's directed by Kwon Ki-taek, so you don't have to worry about him screwing up.??”
Couples, men and women friends, families, etc..
“Hey, if you really think this is boring, you'll be left behind.?”
“Oh, you're whining. If you sit down, shut up and watch. The cast is great, and seriously, none of Kang Woo-jin's works have failed.?”
“Shiba: I want to see ‘Secret Mission 5’. That really exploded into a masterpiece overseas..”
“Look at this again, you idiot.”
Everyone was excited before the movie started..
“Did you see Ryu Jung-min and Kang Woo-jin wearing military uniforms in the trailer for this? I heard you’re crazy.”
“that's right! Ha - I really watch this movie every time Kang Woo-jin is there. Falling in love with ‘Male Friend’ Han In-ho... I’m really looking forward to it this time too..”
It was then.
-Sooooo.
After the commercial ended, the lights in the theater turned dark. It means the beginning of ‘Island of the Missing’. At this, the hundreds of people who filled the theater fell silent..
A moment of silence.
The only sounds in the theater were the sounds of a few people coughing, chuckling, and chewing popcorn. That's roughly a few seconds. Soon, a powerful sound effect spread throughout the theater..
-♬♪
Crisp. The noise of someone running through the grass. A man's heavy breathing. Sound was heard first, then a video was projected on a large screen..
-[“Ugh! Wow! Huh! Fuck- Fuck!”]
The appearance of Private Kim running through a dense forest. Here, the concentration of hundreds of visitors increased significantly. Everyone stared at the screen. Woojin's friends were like that too. Then, Private Kim screams on the screen. The rifle held on to the shoulder trembles. The angle shows Private Kim's half-turned face and then follows his gaze to the forest. Silent but creepy atmosphere.
and.
-Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang bang bang!
The sound of explosions filled the theater. after that.
-[“Kuruk - Private Kim.”]
A strange voice is heard. Half of the hundreds of spectators tilted their heads..
this moment.
-puck!
A sound effect that resonates loudly in the theater. Most of the audience was surprised.
“Tsk!!”
“Wow!!”
“Ugh!”
Private Kim's head was shattered by an elongated object that suddenly flew in. The remains were captured and spread on a large screen. When the sense of urgency reached its peak, the title appeared..
-‘island of disappearance’
The screen that went dark again was replaced. The location is the morgue. A man in military uniform is standing. An angle that slowly illuminates his front from behind. It was Kang Woo-jin. No, Corporal Jin Seon-cheol. As soon as his face filled the screen, a small movement was seen among the hundreds of spectators..
Or whisper quietly.
“Wow - the image is completely different..”
“Is it Kang Woo-jin??”
My friends felt a strange feeling..
‘It's not coming. Come out right from the beginning? The lead form is crazy.’
‘······That kid had a look like that. Shiba is so cool yet unfamiliar.’
‘It's amazing.’
Is it thrill or joy? Maybe it's vicarious satisfaction.
-[“Ah oh.”]
On the screen, Kang Woo-jin is watching. Embarrassment and shyness. Timid and shy. Have low self-esteem. That was all over his face. There is little action. It is lacking and thin. The indecisiveness was evident. The first impression of Woojin to hundreds of viewers was.
‘what? It's a bit like a sweet potato character.?’
‘It's unusual, but it seems like he's someone I've seen before..’
‘As expected, the acting is good. But I've seen timid roles too often..’
‘'It's more boring than I thought?' It was. It seems like he's good at acting, but it's a character I've come to see unexpectedly. At this time, a conversation between the morgue staff and Kang Woo-jin continued..
-[“Do you want to confirm...?”]
-[“······”]
-[“What do you want to do? If you're having a hard time······”]
-[“See, I'll see.”]
Corporal Kang Woo-jin or Jin Seon-cheol continued to mumble. I looked closely. I was nervous. I lacked confidence. I gave in to fear. But as soon as he saw his mother lying in the morgue,.
-[“······mom. mom.”]
It collapsed. I wail. She falls to her knees helplessly. But even this wailing was tinged with timidity. Because I swallowed her cries. For a moment, his restrained sobs spread throughout the theater. The audience thought it was amazing.
‘Acting...is really good.’
Aside from the fact that the characters are boring, the emotional changes are natural and quick. With the addition of directing, the level of concentration rises sharply..
That moment.
“······uh?”
Question marks appeared in the eyes of most audience members. It was because of Woojin’s face that filled the large screen. His head is on the floor and the angle shows him from bottom to top. Kang Woo-jin’s eyes. His eyes change from timid to eccentric..
It intersects very frequently and quickly..
Hundreds of spectators had chicken skin on their forearms with doubts..
‘what? What is it all of a sudden.’
‘Wow, but the facial expression gives me goosebumps.’
‘crazy. Isn't it a double personality or something??’
Kang Woo-jin's appearance on screen was so foreign. It even changes every second. Although there are no specific lines, you can keenly feel what state he is in right now. From here, the audience felt it one by one..
“I guess he's crazy.”
“It's not just timidity, it's some kind of mental illness.?”
There is something about Corporal Jin Seon-cheol..
It was then.
-Sigh.
Kang Woo-jin's crying on the screen suddenly stopped. Her trembling body also became stiff..
the air has changed?
Suddenly, another Kang Woo-jin appeared in the eyes of hundreds of embarrassed spectators. The weakness that was maintained throughout is gone. It's fierce. It was those kind of eyes. Half the time, madness lurks. Kang Woo-jin tilts his head back and forth as if he is in pain. And then the lines. The tone of voice is also world cold..
[“shut up. Because now it's my time.”]
The angle is bust. Corporal Jin Seon-cheol smiles slightly. It was a completely different being. For a moment, each of the actor's friends on the screen felt numb..
‘······It's cumming, it's almost cumming. Wow, seriously, that kid is really good at acting.?’
‘torn Does it seem like the smoke increases every year??’
Na Hyeong-gu was in agony as he looked at the smitten face of his girlfriend sitting next to him..
‘Damn, I'm sick of you as a friend, but I don't like it when my girlfriend has a crush on you. It's going to turn.’
The audience that filled the theater was instantly fascinated by Kang Woo-jin on the screen..
-[“cover.”]
It was not announced through Corporal Jin Seon-cheol's dialogue or subtitles. But by now everyone in the audience had noticed..
That's a double personality..
Woojin, whose existence has changed, leaves the morgue. Angle, trotting along, flashing his military boots. The gait is unstoppable. We arrived at the bathroom. Kang Woo-jin looking at his cell phone. The corners of my mouth were torn as I looked at something..
[“Hehe, you bitch. How much is the insurance amount?.”]
At the same time, the reactions of hundreds of viewers spread throughout the theater. Most of them were elastic as if salty..
“Wow-”
“woah······”
“nice!!”
This was the beauty of the movie theater. It shouldn't be a distraction, but when everyone is on the same page, it's fun to mingle..
In just 10 minutes, Kang Woo-jin captured hundreds of audiences..
But this was just the starting point.
next day, morning.
Yesterday, when a storm or tsunami struck, ended and the morning of results dawned. Of course, it was about ‘Island of the Missing’. In fact, there was a lot of discussion about the sexual nature of 'Island of the Missing' in many places a long time ago. It was early in the morning..
From movie-related communities to SNS, YouTube, and various media and media..
Numerous areas were wondering who would win this movie war. Of course, it was the same not only online but also offline..
people who go to work.
“Manager Kim, have you seen ‘Island of the Missing’? I opened it yesterday.”
“Oh no? I'm going to go see it this weekend. But I don't have much expectations.”
“why?? It was a complete jam.!”
“Well, just. It feels like a thriller, but I don't like that kind of thing..”
“omg! Please check it out, it's really fun! Yesterday, even though it was a weekday, there were a lot of people in the theater I was watching. sold out sold out.”
“okay?? I heard there are a lot of things to see among the movies released this time. Will ‘Island of the Missing’ take first place??”
“100%Joe!”
“You'll know when you see it.”
Or friends' conversations, etc..
The public was excited, perhaps because it was the first bountiful harvest for movies in a while. There are many movies to watch, but the war between released movies was also a point to watch. It was natural that it even included Hollywood's popular series of movies..
The entertainment industry was even more extreme..
The atmosphere was quite aggravated by the bubbling. Numerous actors from entertainment companies, production companies, film companies, broadcasting companies, etc..
“Which one do you think will come in first place? Also, ‘Island of the Missing’’?”
“I have a feeling, but there might be a surprising twist. There are so many outstanding movies now..”
“That's right. There was a rush of masterpieces to the point where I thought they were a bit harsh. After all, it's peak season..”
“I have a feeling that something big will happen this time..”
“Event?”
“Yeah, it's been a while since 10 million movies came out..”
“Ah - anyway, I vote for 'Island of the Missing'!”
But it wasn't time yet. There are still a few dozen minutes left until the results are announced. That's why Kang Woo-jin, who is currently in Japan and traveling to the set of 'Familiar Parasite' in a van, also had dry mouth..
‘Oh, sir, have the results been announced yet?? I'm seriously shaking.’
Even though I couldn't show it on my face because I had a strong appearance, I was nervous on the inside. Her hips kept shaking slightly..
‘Other actors in ‘Island of the Missing’ were the same..
Ryu Jeong-min doing a photo shoot, Ha Yu-ra in a meeting, Kim I-won resting at home, Jeon Woo-chang lifting dumbbells at the gym, Woo-jung actor Hong Hye-yeon, etc..
While everyone was doing their own thing, they sometimes looked down at their phones or glanced at the general manager. Waiting anxiously for the results.
and.
-click!
A medium-sized studio where the sound of mouse clicks just faded away. It was the studio of Oullim Film, which produced ‘Island of the Missing’. The place where we had a test screening last time. Director Kwon Ki-taek seemed warm in such a studio..
Of course, key staff, film company representatives and executives, and distribution company employees also flocked. Approximately 50 people.
“······”
Everyone's eyes, including the silent and serious director Kwon Ki-taek, were focused on the front screen. Of course, what is being printed now is not a movie. The laptop screen of an employee standing next to the screen was appearing..
-[KOPIC movie theater admission ticket integrated network]

As time passes, the expressions of the people gathered in the studio become darker. Director Kwon Ki-taek, with his arms crossed, was the same. It was then.
“done!! It's up!!”
The employee in front of the laptop shouted. At the same time, director Kwon Ki-taek and all 50 people turned their heads to the front screen..
