I was immediately mistaken as a monster genius actor - Episode 275

A man with slightly messy hair, wearing a shabby khaki jacket, stood in front of a mansion. He was a man with a rough beard growing on his chin and a listless expression with a loss of motivation..

“Phew-”

He looked up at the old mansion on the second floor and exhaled a light puff of cigarette smoke. The camera captures his back and then slowly moves to the side. The man was detective Mochio Yoshizawa. It looks like I'm alone today without my junior detective. Mochio muttered softly with a cigarette in his mouth..

“Does he live here? It's ordinary.”

Mochio had just come to the conclusion of the series of deaths that occurred today. To be clear, it was an external ending. The police officially announced the full story of the incident to the public..

“······”

Both the criminal and the victim are dead. Starting with Shutoku Misaki, who killed Kinjo Konakayama, everyone killed each other like a tangled thread. Additionally, the story of 'Misaki Toka' was also revealed, but not known to the world. It's been too long, and the rest of the serial death incidents were several times more provocative..

Is there anything left? Yes, solid circumstances and evidence..

The circumstances and remaining evidence were too clear to raise any other suspicions, and the people were trembling with fear. It was natural for the police to announce the conclusion of the cases as quickly as possible..

but.

-Sigh.

Just one person. Only Detective Mochio, who took out a new cigarette and put it in his mouth, has not closed the case yet. Two things were going through his mind..

Accomplice. And 'Kiyoshi Iyota'’.

Detective Mochio took a step forward with his hands stuffed in his jacket pockets..

-Can, Can, Can.

Climb the iron stairs slowly. At the end of the hallway on the second floor. He lives in the last house. The man Mochio is looking for.

The camera catches Mochio walking backwards down the hallway from the front..

soon.

“······”

Mochio arrived at the end of the hallway and was about to raise his hand to knock on the door..

-Clap!

The iron door suddenly opened and hit Mochio on the head..

“Tsk!”

Mochio, who was covering his head, moaned softly, and the man who came out of the house was startled and immediately spoke to Mochio. No, it would be closer to disgusting..

“I'm surprised, what are you??”

The man narrowed his eyes and glared at Mochio, who had his head in his hands and was slightly bowed. He is deeply suspicious. The man looks around the hallway. And then he got annoyed with Mochio again..

“You were surprised. What are you doing here?.”

Mochio, who was covering his head, made a sound like 'ke' and took something out of his pocket. It was a detective's notebook..

“I'm a detective. It opened suddenly and I couldn't avoid it..”

“······detective? Why is the detective in front of my house? ah! This is self-defense! Ah, no, the meaning is a little different.?”

“yes?”

“No, it wasn't my fault that I hit you, Detective..”

“I'm not blaming you, but.”

“of course!”

The man's voice was slightly frivolous. Mochio looks at him for a moment. Soon, Mochio put the detective notebook in his pocket and asked the man:.

“······Is this really Mr. Kiyoshi Iyota??”

“what? what? How do you know my name - why did you come to visit me??”

“That's right.”

The man's eyes widened slightly. No, Kiyoshi Iyota scratched his chin with a strange expression..

“me, why me?”

Kiyoshi immediately becomes nervous. On the other hand, Mochio, who slightly tilted his head, answered as if it was no big deal..

“‘Do you remember ‘Misaki Toka’??”

Kiyoshi crossed his arms and raised his eyes upward. Her thoughts seemed to have deepened. But she shrugged her shoulders as if she didn't remember. Her movements or voice are light.

“Who is that? This is my first time hearing it.?”

A moment of silence here. About 5 seconds. Soon, Director Kyotaro's shout rang out..

“Cut cut cut! OOOOK!!”

It was a sign of satisfaction. At the same time, Kiyoshi. No, Kang Woo-jin and Mana Kosaku came down the iron stairs. Several staff members are attached to them. It was for makeup correction. Director Kyotaro also joined afterwards..

“As per the storyboard, I will only go up to this cut. After that, please feel free to ask as I said before. I'll do the same thing for the back scenes, first taking the existing ones and then alternating between free shots..”

Instead of going for a long take all at once, the intention is to separate the existing and free takes for each cut..

Kang Woo-jin and Mana Kosaku's concise answers followed..

“Yes, director.”

“yes.”

The previous scene had already been repeated about the third time, and from now on, it was time for the actors to break free from the filming storyboard and do as they pleased, as director Kyotaro had also mentioned to writer Akari. Of course, while maintaining the directing, situation, emotions of the characters, and conflict..

As a result, the atmosphere on the set, where nearly 200 people gathered to watch the two actors, changed..

“Hey, it's starting now..”

“Are Kang Woo-jin and Mana Kosaku doing the lines as they please??”

“I heard so..”

Over 100 staff members, as well as executives from film companies and distribution companies.

“This is my first time seeing a cut this thin, it must be okay.?”

“Well - but in Hollywood, they often leave it up to the actors like this. Because the perspectives of the director and the actor are different. I don't see it in Japan, honestly, I've heard about it too, but this is my first time seeing it..”

“The current one isn't bad either. There are already so many challenges mixed in, but isn't it pointless to overdo it??”

“Since we've come this far, all we can do is watch..”

Writer Akari, who was sitting behind the director's chair and wearing glasses on the tip of his nose, didn't say anything. He is also a novelty. Because he is seeing the scene of the work he wrote with his own eyes. But his expression was stiff.

“······”

What she just saw was a cut she already knew. In addition, a sufficiently satisfactory picture was selected. However, from here on it was unknown..

At this time.

“Author.”

A grumpy old voice came from her right. Chairman Hideki took off his suit jacket and was accompanied by secretaries. He sat down and quietly asked.

“I think Kiyoshi was a bit unusual just now. It wasn't that kind of character originally.?”

“Ah, that's right. As for the storyboard, Kiyoshi knew that Detective Mochio was coming, and he's put on the right amount of acting..”

“To hide its original appearance?”

“yes. It's confusing. Kiyoshi knows that Detective Mochio is astute. This scene was expressed appropriately in the original, but the director was more ambitious in this cut and added detailed directing and adaptation..”

“So does that mean things will change now? I heard that the actors act comfortably outside of the script..”

“······I came to see that too.”

“Hmm, I see..”

Chairman Hideki, with shining eyes, faced the front..

‘It's a sight you don't often see. But isn't it easy? The tension among the staff has increased..’

Director Kyotaro, who had finished explaining things to Kang Woo-jin and Mana Kosaku, was leaving the filming zone. The same goes for the staff who have finished touching up their makeup. Kang Woo-jin and Kosaku only have a short conversation and don't seem to have made any plans..

Are we going to value each other’s feelings??

it was true.

Two actors. In other words, there was an agreement between Woojin and Kosaku. It started with Kosaku's suggestion..

“Let's keep the basic key lines, but let's go about the rest of the free acting without telling anyone..”

The idea was not to be salty. It literally means to become the character of a real-life 'unfamiliar parasite' and to surrender yourself to the acting as the emotions that indiscriminately come at you. Kang Woo-jin had no reason to object..

“All right.”

Because it’s more comfortable for me. No, it would be funnier to tell you everything in the first place. So you're not leaving it up to the actors' freedom, right? Kang Woo-jin responded cynically..

“I'll go in peace.”

I meant it..

A few tens of minutes later.

Preparations for re-shooting were slowly completed. About a hundred staff members crowded around the filming zone and held their breath, while executives from film companies and distribution companies also fixed their eyes on the set with serious faces. Writer Akari had strange expectations and worries in her eyes, and Chairman Hideki to her right had a face that made it difficult to tell what was inside her..

“······”

After a short conversation with the cinematographer, Director Kyotaro sat down in a seat where several monitors were placed..

“Phew-”

He let out a small sigh and gestured to the staff. A male staff member jumped out and hit the slate in front of the camera..

-widely!

Director Kyotaro took off his hat and raised a loudspeaker. Just before the word ‘action’ came out of his mouth. Kang Woo-jin, who was on the set mansion side, had already closed the iron door and was inside..

And then.

‘first-’

I quickly pulled Kiyoshi Iyota up. Soon, the world Woojin sees becomes an 'unfamiliar parasite'. Everything became Kiyoshi, but Kang Woo-jin didn't stop working for some reason..

He is different now than he was in the past..

Currently, Kang Woo-jin has a recently added ability, ‘freedom of role’. The frame is broken. There are countless possibilities. Well, actually, it's been a while since it was broken, and Woojin has already mastered it. To put it to the extreme, Kang Woo-jin was now able to perform a mask dance while maintaining his identity as 'Kiyoshi Iyota'..

However, Woojin brings out something else instead of mask dance..

Actually, I already had an answer decided a few days ago..

‘Casting synthesis is necessary first..’

Anyway, it was a cut where Kiyoshi added some appropriate acting while watching detective Mochio. So, reverse synthesis would be useful. However, Woojin did not want to abandon Kiyoshi's foundation. I hoped Kiyoshi would remain Kiyoshi until the end. Even if you act within the smoke.

Therefore, the role called through cast synthesis must be similar to Kiyoshi but be able to pull off a twist..

As expected, Kang Woo-jin has a summoner in mind..

“······”

Another smell overlaps with Kang Woo-jin, who is already dominated by Kiyoshi. The summoned animal had responded to its owner's call. The cast synthesis was done quickly..

Here's a taste of it. From now on it's real.

The basis of Kiyoshi is maintained along with the summoned beasts derived from cast synthesis. However, Kang Woo-jin plans to break the framework of the scenario..

‘Unlocks ‘freedom of role’.

Meanwhile, Mana Kosaku, who had no way of knowing what was going on, was outside the iron gate, reliving Detective Mochio's feelings and making a promise to himself..

‘It's okay, just go with courage. Even if you leave it to your own devices, the situation in the play is the same. Mochio's situation is more superior than Kiyoshi's. Kiyoshi needs to hide and I am vaguely aware of what he is hiding..’

This means that no matter what kind of smoke comes your way, you will be able to deal with it comfortably..

‘If they attack, it's rather my side. I have no intention of letting him or Kiyoshi go easily..’

The two actors were literally thrown into unknown territory as ‘unfamiliar parasites’..

At this time.

“Hi-Action!”

The director's sign rang. Soon, Mana Kosakuga. No, Detective Mochio moves, his hands stuffed in his jacket. I climbed the steel stairs with a clang sound. The camera followed him and then moved in front of him..

We arrived at the end of the hallway before we knew it..

but.

“······”

quiet. According to the original scenario, the iron door should have been opened. But there is no movement. The frame was broken from the beginning. However, Detective Mochio doesn’t think it’s a big deal. He scratched his head. And then I knocked on the iron door..

-smart.

3seconds, 5 seconds, 10 seconds. There is no movement. Mochio sighed softly and scratched his chin..

“Are you not at home??”

He knocks on the door again.

-Knock knock.

This time the intensity is stronger than the first time. Still, there is no sign of the iron door opening. what? Detective Mochio looked around the hallway and laughed..

“Looks like they're telling me to give them a password..”

Natural ad-lib. Director Kyotaro, with his nose glued to the monitor, also muttered as if he was satisfied..

“Okay, like that..”

Anyway, the door doesn't open. It was when Detective Mochio lowered his head to look at his watch in front of the iron gate..

-Clap!

Suddenly, the iron door opened and Detective Mochio was hit hard on the head. With a loud bang, Mochio stumbled slightly, and Kiyoshi Iyota with an innocent face stuck his head out from inside the door..

But I didn't open my mouth.

“······”

just.

“Ugh-”

I just quietly look at Detective Mochio, who is complaining of pain. Kiyoshi's face doesn't have much expression. The funny thing is.

-Sigh.

Kiyoshi's eyes were filled with surprise as he looked back and forth between Detective Mochio and the iron gate. The expression on his face immediately changed. He looked different from his usual expressionless self. Nevertheless, the overall expression was stiff. And there are no words.

“······”

Kiyoshi pauses, slightly twitching his hands..

Mochio confirmed that appearance..

He presses his head with one hand and takes out his detective notebook with the other hand. Mochio said while showing the notebook to Kiyoshi..

“Ugh - ah, it's okay. It opened late so there was no way to avoid it. Never mind. I'm a brother. That's right, Kiyoshi Iyota.?”

“······”

A question was asked, but Kiyoshi only blinked in shock and did not answer. Mochio smiled slightly as he put his notebook in his jacket. He still had one hand on his head..

“Are you Kiyoshi Iyota??”

Mochio made eye contact with Kiyoshi. He was wearing glasses. The outfit was a simple shirt. A shirt that is almost gray. What can I say, it’s a feeling that can be found everywhere. He had a look that no one would remember if they didn't pay attention. What's strange is his behavior..

‘Why is there no reaction??’

It was strange. Obviously, it was. The Kiyoshi in front of me now had a mixture of his natural smell and that of a sloppy or clumsy young man. Yeah, like two characters combined.

Kosaku or Mochio said again that they would stab him first..

“Ah, don't be nervous. Although a major incident occurred throughout Japan, nothing major happened around here. I just have a few questions..”

“······”

Kiyoshi has no answer this time. Nevertheless, his eyes are staring at Detective Mochio. There's something strange about his gaze. Where are you looking? More silence? Mochio decided that Kiyoshi was now frozen..

I'll shut up?

‘You're doing quick calculations in your head, not speaking is trying to hide your nervousness..’

But I can't give you a chance. Mochio, a detective with a smile on his face and a noticeable beard on his chin, asked Kiyoshi again..

“Kiyoshi Iyota, of course you knew I would come.?”

Kiyoshi’s expression doesn’t change much. By this time, everyone over 200 people on set sensed something strange..

‘Why don't you say anything?’

‘Did you forget your lines? No, I do it freely, but am I forgetting something??’

‘Is it okay...is it okay?.’

This was the same for Director Kyotaro, who was staring at the monitor..

‘silence. Is it silence that he has created? I'll keep my mouth shut until the end?’

It wasn't that bad. But the strange things cannot be erased. I liked the first appearance where the scents of the two characters were mixed, but the silence was too subdued..

It was at this time.

-Sigh.

200Kang Woo-jin or Kiyoshi, who monopolized the attention of eight people, were the first to move. He lifts one hand and places it on his chest. Courtesy is included in the motion..

Then, with difficulty, I open my mouth..

“Ah, ah- ugh-”

Woojin suddenly groaned. No, it's not a moan, is it? Soon, question marks appeared in everyone's eyes, starting with Director Kyotaro. In particular, Detective Mochio, who was watching Kang Woo-jin right in front of him, was the worst..

‘what? What are you talking about??’

Mochio narrowed his eyes and asked Kiyoshi back..

“yes? Hey, are you kidding me??”

But Kang Woo-jin still made similar groans..

“Ugh, ah-ah-”

Suddenly I raised my hands. Detective Mochio instinctively flinched and went into a defensive stance, but Kang Woo-jin's hands were not meant to attack him..

-Sooooo.

His hands began to fly gently in the air.

[“Sorry, I can't hear you very well, detective..”]

It was Japanese sign language..

[“Even the detective probably doesn’t know the meaning of this sign language.?”]

Kiyoshi was using sign language..

At that moment, Director Kyotaro, who was looking at the monitor, widened his eyes and raised his head. Seeing Kang Woo-jin inside the set mansion.

‘sign language?!’

In addition, Mochio froze due to the completely unexpected acting..

“ah······”

Detective Mochio was clearly embarrassed..
