I was immediately mistaken as a monster genius actor - Episode 271

‘Kiyoshi Iyota was a stranger and a stranger from the beginning. From high school to the moment he finished his homework and returned to his daily life. He had no connection with anyone and was cut off from everyone..

But what if Misaki Toka was alive??

What if the connection with her remained unbroken? What if it developed and Kiyoshi and Toka grew up? The situation would have been completely different. Such personal things make people live..

The catalyst in human life is surprisingly small..

Most people breathe with only fingernail-sized expectations or hopes. For Kiyoshi, it may have been Toka. But he disappeared. He has become a complete stranger and stranger. Or maybe he would have turned darker than that. But does revenge and homework have no meaning??

Who can point a finger at him and curse him?.

Maybe Kiyoshi wanted to live.

He would have recognized the meaning of life as ‘homework’ and acted accordingly..

How can you live without doing anything? He made a sound decision. It doesn't matter if you say it's selfish or if your method is wrong. victim? attacker? What does that mean?.

It's just reality. Something happened. phenomenon occurred.

Kiyoshi's life has already gone wrong. In order for him to survive, he had to somehow go back to square one. He's not at the level of struggling, but he's just calmly doing his homework..

Purpose, goals, dreams. Another Malone Hope.

For Kiyoshi, it would be revenge. Please watch from somewhere. Someday I will become a prosecutor. After finishing everything, Kiyoshi Iyota went into hiding in his daily life..

‘Staring as a ‘stranger’.

It is unclear whether what he sees is the camera, the audience, Toka Misaki, or his own life..

One thing that is certain is that it is the origin..

‘World- renowned author Akari Takikawa, who wrote the original work of 'The Strangest Gisaeng', was amazing. Of course, it was because of the ending that Director Kyotaro brought in as a request for revision. Author Akari, wearing glasses on the tip of his nose, lowered the paper in his hand..

And then.

‘Mr. Woojin suggested this ending.?’

It reminded me of Korean actor Kang Woo-jin. The reason she was so surprised was simple. Because it was the ending she had thought about in the past..

No, clearly this ending was real..

‘The details are a little different, but the end is similar..’

The ending of the first draft of 'Familiar Gisaeng' before publication was that Kiyoshi lives mixed with ordinary people. Of course, the detailed scenes and directing are completely different from what Director Kyotaro brought, but the meaning is the same. However, the writer Akari at the time broke the ending that had been set..

Because there were too many interests.

Additionally, her fans around the world were also a problem. The atmosphere of the past era also played a part. Whatever it was, the original ending had to be buried in author Akari's heart. After a very long time, she suddenly brought out the ending that had been buried by an actor from another country..

‘Why on earth did I think like this??’

Akari is a writer whose many works have been turned into movies and dramas. However, so far, not once has any actor offered a correction to writer Akari. This is Kang Woo-jin’s first time..

Author Akari's eyes slowly landed on Director Kyotaro across the street..

“Was this directing and detailed setting also suggested by Woojin??”

Director Kyotaro shook his head slightly..

“no. I added detailed settings such as scenes, locations, and directing. But the core idea was Woojin’s..”

“in what way.”

“Denying causal retribution.”

Director Kyotaro, full of gray hair, calmly recited the words he heard from Woojin..

“For Kiyoshi, justice and justice do not suit him, and eating well and living well without harm is what suits him..”

“······eating well and living well.”

“yes. They also say that Kiyoshi Iyota seems to be broken..”

“after-”

A smile quickly spread on author Akari’s face..

“I guess Woojin was looking at Kiyoshi sincerely..”

“That’s right, because it’s a conclusion that can’t be reached otherwise..”

“What a strange actor. I'm watching it all while pretending not to, and I know it all while pretending not to know. I feel like my insides have been exposed..”

“My insides are exposed?”

Author Akari, who exhaled lightly in response to the question, explained the past of the 'unfamiliar parasite'. That the first ending existed. To crush it. and until now.

“Now that I think about it, I think I was probably scared. So I adjusted Kiyoshi to reality. Even though I know it's running away.”

“······I understand. I was like that in the past too. No, not even until now. I think the result is probably what created the current Japanese content market. Everyone is so scared.”

The two giants smiled slightly bitterly. Among them, the first to speak was author Akari..

“Even at this age, I still have a lot to learn. I never thought I would learn from a Korean actor. I envy your fearless spirit rather than your cold-heartedness..”

“Kang Woo-jin was like that from the beginning. A monster who does not compromise with the world. That's the realm of talent, so you can't imitate it..”

In an instant, author Akari, with a serious expression on her face, changed the topic..

“If you go to this conclusion - it will directly contradict the Japanese content market that has been concentrated so far. Declaration of war to destroy.”

“I know.”

“There will probably be a disaster. Extreme backlash from the public, huge complaints from fans of the original work, and fierce resistance from the industry. You will never be welcomed.”

“There will also be huge controversies and harsh criticism. Still, if it isn't this ending, I think I'll regret it for the rest of my life..”

Director Kyotaro made eye contact with author Akari and smiled gently..

“If you want to change something, it's natural for someone to bleed. Oh, of course, the author's permission is most important..”

“······The beginning of a war that will shake all of Japan. Am I the only one looking forward to the scene where I explode with swear words? I think it would be fun. It's better to be hit by a tidal wave of wind and rain than to be calm after opening. More than anything, I want to see what I couldn't do in the past..”

Author Akari gave a laugh-filled answer with a thumbs up..

“ex call.”

“Thank you, author.”

“But is this okay because it’s a picture where the director is the only one carrying a gun? You can talk about me in press releases..”

“no. We can't harm the original author. And besides me, Woojin will also share it. Because you are the actor who played the role. So I told him in advance.”

“···What did Woojin reply??”

“‘'It doesn't really matter.'.”

“That's a good answer.”

Author Akari burst out laughing and recalled Kang Woo-jin's calm face..

“I should try using it as the main character in my work someday..”

A few hours later, around late lunch.

Kang Woo-jin could be found on the set of ‘Familiar Gisaeng’. About 100 staff members moving around busily. Japanese actors doing their own thing, such as watching storyboards. The convening of ‘Unfamiliar Gisaeng’ was a little late today. It was because of Director Kyotaro’s schedule. Still, Woojin's clothes and makeup while sitting on the chair had changed to Kiyoshi's..

As expected, it is solemn. But the kernel is thinking about something else.

‘Phew - I'm suddenly craving spicy soybean paste stew. This is a problem when you come to another country, tsk. I can't do it. I have to tell her to go to a Korean restaurant today..’

Of course, on the surface, it appears that he is looking at the storyboard cynically..

It was then.

“Mr. Woojin!!”

Between sets, where monitors and key staff gathered, the assistant director called Kang Woo-jin. Is it a standby? I did it but it wasn't.

“Are you okay for a moment???!”

After exchanging glances with Choi Seong-gun, Kang Woo-jin got up from his chair and walked briskly. As Woojin approached, the assistant director and key staff left their seats. All that remained were director Kyotaro, who had the filming storyboard in hand, and Mana Kosaku, who played the role of detective Mochio Yoshizawa..

Director Kyotaro opened his mouth as the three gathered together..

“‘The ending of 'Familiar Gisaeng' changes..”

Soon, Mana Kosaku's eyes with dark facial lines widened slightly. On the contrary, Kang Woo-jin maintained her poker face. Because I already expected it rather than just the concept..

‘Oh, awesome, it worked.??’

It was natural since it was Kang Woo-jin who suggested it in the first place. Kosaku then became more serious and asked back..

“The ending changes? What does that mean? How much is removed from the existing scenario?.”

“‘I'm taking out the last part of 'Iyota Kiyoshi' and starting anew. However, there is no need to change the footage that has already been filmed, and the scenes of other actors will not change much..”

‘It was natural for Kiyoshi and Detective Mochiogi to take responsibility for the latter half and ending of 'The Stranger.' All other characters are eliminated before then..

“There won't be much change in Mr. Kosaku's scenes. But your emotions and thoughts will change. Of course, Kiyoshi will be the one who will turn 180 degrees from the previous one..”

‘Of course, it was Kang Woo-jin who led the latter half of the play and the ending of 'The Strange Gisaeng'. The directing and the scene itself change. On the other hand, Kosaku, who will play the role of a detective, retains most of his scenes. Still, I had to be aware of changing emotions..

“I already told the other actors. The filming team is moving forward with the changed ending, and the writer has also given the OK. I will deliver the revised storyboard to you two within today. But for now - just read the contents in the dictionary..”

Director Kyotaro delivered the papers he had prepared to Kang Woo-jin and Kosaku. At the same time, the two actors stood and read the script. Including the changed ending of 'Familiar Gisaeng', there were also scenes in which the emotions and directing continued back and forth without being overpowering..

Woojin, who had a strong face, was purely impressed on the inside..

‘Wow - what is this? It tickles a little?? That’s right, Kiyoshi has some impact like this..’

He liked the cut. Additionally, I applauded Director Kyotaro’s abilities. It was a few days ago that Kang Woo-jin proposed an idea. However, Director Kyotaro came up with an interesting ending within that short period of time. Is this really a virtuoso? The pace of work and the level of scenario work were clearly top tier..

Around here.

“······”

A slight embarrassment appeared on Kosaku's face. Content modifications are frequent even while filming other works. In any case, the actor must follow the change. Because the final decision maker is the director. Still, it was the first time in Kosakuro that the ending changed 180 degrees like this..

even.

‘Are you really going to go to this ending? I'm serious? This is not enough to get criticized.’

The changed ending of 'Familiar Gisaeng' was somewhat shocking. It was more than a pioneer. The changed ending of 'Unfamiliar Gisaeng' is about to step into the history of the Japanese content market. Kosaku, who has been in the entertainment industry for a long time, spoke honestly about his feelings..

“···Director. Are you sure you are going to this ending??”

“I'm sure.”

“If things continue like this... die-hard fans of the original may rise up..”

“Once that's done, it's sorted out in a small way..”

“yes?”

Director Kyotaro, who was recalling a future in which nuclear bombs explode due to controversy or backlash, smiled slightly. It was a look of firmness..

“Nevertheless, the ending of 'Familiar Gisaeng' is confirmed without any hesitation..”

backwards.

Before filming began, Mana Kosaku spoke to Kang Woo-jin. I'm a little cautious.

“Woojin, are you really okay? Among the actors, the arrows of attack will probably be aimed at Woojin the most..”

Kosaku was an average top actor. Because the image of Woojin falling is clear, extreme anxiety is predicted. There are many such experiences. Anyway, Kang Woo-jin's answer in a low tone was simple..

“It's trivial.”

It wasn't. It won't be a small thing. But it didn't matter to Kang Woo-jin..

‘It's okay if you just give it a try?’

Woojin, who was a small citizen at heart, had a different personality and mindset from other actors. I didn't commit a crime, so who cares? Ignoring is the answer.

Kosaku interpreted this differently. Because Kang Woo-jin’s atmosphere was so upright..

‘Cool. It's not bravado or bravado. I humbly accept it without ignoring it, but I don’t dwell on it..’

It's heartless, but it's not a fool, it's arrogance with a root. Mana Kosaku truly thought that he should learn..

‘2Even though it's only been a year, the top qualities are already complete, it's the attitude of a tycoon..’

Kang Woo-jin was thinking about something else..

‘If it gets too bad, you can just go to Korea, right? Ah, I guess I'll just be in Korea by then.?’

Kosaku asked calmly..

“······Is it trivial??”

Woojin, who had an iron plate on his face, lowered his voice even more..

“yes, very.”

“It's amazing, in many ways.”

What's so great about this all of a sudden? There was a faint smell of misunderstanding, but Woojin did not ask..

It was a familiar scent.

As the hectic Saturday came to an end, Sunday the 23rd dawned. The ‘unfamiliar parasite’ team gathered on the set early in the morning. Among them, Director Kyotaro, wearing his hat tightly pressed down, asked the distributor..

“Have you decided on the release date for Japan and Korea??”

“After opening in Japan first, the release in Korea is scheduled to take between two weeks and one month. We will notify you as soon as it is confirmed..”

“hmm.”

Director Kyotaro this time asked the production team:.

“If the ending is changed, how much do you think the filming schedule will be pushed back?.”

“I looked it up yesterday, and there isn't as much of a difference as I thought. Approximately two days due to recruiting dispatchers and cooperating with location..”

“Not bad.”

“However, expenses will inevitably be incurred for parts that have been selected in advance from existing shooting cuts..”

“are you okay. Because I told the investors directly..”

Main investor. In other words, we are talking about Chairman Hideki..

“two day delay.”

Director Kyotaro briefly recited it and summarized it..

“Then the crank-up is confirmed for Friday the 28th..”

Today is the 23rd, and it was said that there were only about 5 days left until the filming of 'Familiar Gisaeng' ended..

After a few tens of minutes.

Inside a black luxury sedan driving on a road in Tokyo. It was the car of Chairman Hideki Yoshimura, head of the Kashihi Group, who also had white hair on his eyebrows. Chairman Hideki, who was sitting in the back seat, put down his cell phone while talking on the phone with someone. The other person was director Kyotaro, who would be on set for 'The Stranger'..

“hey.”

Chairman Hideki, who heard the news from Director Kyotaro, called Chief of Staff Lili, who was sitting in the front passenger seat. Then Lili, who had an upright posture, turned her body back..

“Yes, Mr. Chairman..”

President Hideki gave instructions to her..

“28Work schedules are postponed until the ‘unfamiliar parasite’ site visit. The last thing you have to see is.”

After giving instructions, Chairman Hideki looked out the window and smiled slightly..

“Kang Woo-jin - I wonder what the final decoration of 'Familiar Gisaeng' will be like..”

Meanwhile.

Kang Woo-jin just woke up on a bed in a hotel room..

“Ah, I'm so tired.”

In my dazed mind, I picked up any of the scripts or scenarios piled up on the nearby table. It was to rest a little more due to the accumulated fatigue..

-deeply!

Kang Woo-jin enters an endlessly dark subspace. He yawned and stretched. All I had to do was lie down..

That moment.

“ah.”

Woojin, who had been habitually looking at the white squares, stopped. Because I saw a change in one of the white squares, the 'unfamiliar parasite'.

-[7/Scenario (Title: Strange Sacrifice), SSS level]

Rather than falling, the grade actually went up..
