I was immediately mistaken for a monster genius actor - Episode 304
It looks like Kang Woo-jin doesn't need us. It was a natural ending for Ethan Smith, leader of the Hollywood stunt team..
See it now too.
‘That margin.’
Even though he destroyed four of his teammates, Kang Woo-jin is even breathing smoothly. There was not an iota of disorganization in sight. Even though the route wasn't that long, it was definitely intense..
In reality, Kang Woo-jin was casually shaking his pants..
And the ‘CQC’ skills he showed.
‘Quickness, judgment, counterattack. And proficiency with swords and guns. They are not something you can learn in a day or two..’
In particular, Ethan was very surprised when he saw Kang Woo-jin pulling out the magazine of a gun with one hand. So easy, so smooth, like his own gun.
Overall, Kang Woo-jin's technique was difficult to understand..
together.
‘why did you call us?’
The need for his own team has faded. Because it was different from what PD Song Man-woo said when recruiting the team in the first place. Clearly, it was said, 'The actor is above average in martial arts, but this is his first time with CQC.' So, the request went as far as ‘Please come and improve the quality of the CQC storyboard through education and practice.’ But what is that Kang Woo-jin??
‘How can you tell that I'm a beginner??’
The techniques that Woojin had just implemented were enough to make even anyone who saw them among the numerous stunt teams in Hollywood drop their tongues..
Only at this time did Ethan understand Kang Woo-jin’s initial tone of voice..
‘It wasn't easy to see CQC. I was able to do it right.’
That pretentious atmosphere wasn't about being strong or arrogant, but was actually relaxed. That's why it wouldn't have mattered if I watched the storyboard 'in moderation'.
at the same time.
-Sigh.
The four team members who had fallen returned to Ethan's side. Everyone, including the bear-like man, lost their initial momentum. I looked at Ethan, the leader, who was a little confused. It was only natural that he had been completely destroyed, let alone being told to show his true self..
“······”
Ethan, who had a big nose, looked at the team members without saying anything. It wasn't that I looked at it pathetically. It was an eye that told you to express your impressions. Among the team members, the one with the most tattoos was the first to open the door..
“···Ethan, it's Woojin Kang. Did you know he was in the special forces??”
For a moment, Ethan Smith's eyes dilated again..
“what?”
Meanwhile, Ethan was not the only one at this action school whose eyes widened. The same was true for Choi Seong-gun, who stood between the 'beneficial evil' key staff who couldn't take their eyes off Kang Woo-jin..
‘······Hapkido - I think it's way out of bounds. No, where on earth do they look like Hapkido?!!’
The key staff members, including him with wide eyes, were speechless. They were just looking at Kang Woo-jin in the center of the gorgeous stage, and the bearded producer Song Man-woo and martial arts director at the front looked beyond shocked and distraught..
Producer Song Man-woo fixed his gaze on Woo-jin and muttered softly..
“What did I see? No, most of the things I saw weren't in the storyboard..”
The martial arts director also shared a look with producer Song Man-woo but nodded slowly..
“that's right. There wasn't. From the beginning, both Woojin and the stunt team said there was no movement at all..”
“So what, are you saying they both did martial arts ad-libs? But why was it natural? As if we've guessed it together hundreds of times.”
The martial arts director looked back at producer Song Man-woo as if that was important..
“PD Song. That's the problem now?”
I furrowed my brow..
“Why is Woojin acting like ‘CQC’ has been around for decades? It was during the 'martial arts' era, I was able to overlook it and think it was amazing, but that's - it's at a level that doesn't make sense..”
Producer Song Man-woo also did not know. Because he still wondered if it was a dream. However, the Kang Woo-jin I have seen so far has always been an alien who goes beyond common sense..
“I know, I know. I don't know.”
“what??! No, you idiot. Most of what Woojin showed was martial arts ad-libs. That means that we competed with a professional stunt team through real ‘CQC’, not a storyboard.!”
“I know! But I don't know.”
“Even worse, it wasn’t Woojin who got smashed, but that Hollywood stunt team.?”
Tang Choi's martial arts director's common sense was not digestible..
“How on earth can Woojin overpower a veteran Hollywood stunt team that makes a living from that??”
“···Woojin's martial arts skills are at a high level - that's the foundation, and if you look closely at the storyboard, you'll see..”
“Does that make sense, man? ‘CQC’ is not some kind of house game. What was Woojin’s past like until ‘CQC’?.”
“‘It was like that during ‘Martial Arts’, but I know it. I just have to trust him and accept him..”
“······really?”
“Or are you going to dig up something??”
“Well, that's not it..”
Producer Song Man-woo, who has experienced Kang Woo-jin from the beginning until now, said with a smile:.
“Give up understanding, it's easier then.”
From here, the key staff around them and the dozens of members of the martial arts team surrounding the entire action school began to shake..
The voices grew louder than the murmuring..
Some people asked intense questions, some excitedly raised their thumbs up, some responded with cool reactions, and some even waved their arms as if they were getting goosebumps..
this moment.
-Sigh.
A calm Kang Woo-jin approached PD Song Man-woo. Producer Song Man-woo and martial arts director, who were having a heated conversation about Woo-jin, flinched. The surrounding key staff and martial arts team members stare intently at Kang Woo-jin..
On the other hand, Kang Woo-jin's voice was low and calm..
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“······Ah-uhh. We just watched and Woojin had a hard time..”
“ha ha ha. Yeah, right? Are you hurt anywhere??”
“Yes, did you film it??”
Producer Song Man-woo was quick to answer..
“Of course I did. rather than that-”
Bearded producer Song Man-woo swallowed his words while trying to ask about 'CQC'.
“Even though he was busy, he even took the unscheduled test. Still, it would have been a great help to the storyboard editing and stunt teams, thank you so much..”
The martial arts director helped out..
“Well, that's right. Since Woojin paid so much attention, the quality will definitely go up..”
“thank god.”
At this time, ponytail Choi Seong-geon joined in from behind, holding Kang Woo-jin's blazer in one hand. It was a serious face..
“That- PD. Woojin has the next schedule..”
Producer Song Man-woo gestured for us to go quickly..
“Uh oh.”
Kang Woo-jin, who has a deep sense of concept, bowed his head slightly..
“See you next practice.”
Kang Woo-jin, who received the blazer from Choi Seong-gun, moved first, and Choi Seong-gun, who was looking at his back, whispered to producer Song Man-woo..
“PD, wouldn’t it be better to crack down on this case??”
“That's how it should be. You may not be able to completely silence them, but you may be able to silence them to some extent..”
Producer Song Man-woo nodded and sympathized..
“It's okay for a rumor or two to spread. Because they'll think it's just noise.”
after.
Kang Woo-jin graduated from Action School. His team would have been in the van before the test started, and ponytail Choi Seong-geon ran next to Woojin..
“Woojin, you worked hard..”
“no. It wasn't hard.”
Seriously, Kang Woo-jin was nothing special..
‘It was an experiment and fun. However, there is a possibility that misunderstandings or misunderstandings may spread. Tsk, I don’t know. It's that time again.’
Then, Choi Seong-geon let out a small sigh and continued speaking..
“What you showed there - can I just understand it as Hapkido??”
Would you like it? Woojin calmed down his voice and gave a prepared message. It was a line with a hint of strength..
“I only watched the storyboard a bit, but it turned out to be easier than I thought..”
“ah. Okay, it turned out easier than I thought..”
Of course, it was a ridiculous answer. But that opponent is Kang Woo-jin. Seonggeon Choi had nothing to do except laugh. Because his common sense was already different from normal..
“Still, it was kind of cider, and honestly, I was really wondering if you would get hurt this time. They say they are a Hollywood stunt team, right?.”
“I understand.”
“But... I feel like an idiot for even asking this, and I think I've said this before..”
“yes.”
Choi Seong-gun made eye contact with Woojin, who had a strong poker face, and forced a smile..
“You weren't really a spy or anything, were you? In the past or even now.”
Is that right?! Woojin almost burst out laughing, but he held back. Because Choi Seong-gun’s feelings were understandable. Kang Woo-jin suddenly becomes playful here..
“Actually, that's right.”
Choi Seong-geon was truly shocked..
“uh?!! hey! Is it real?! Wait wait wait!! time time!”
Kang Woo-jin spoke softly..
“It's a joke.”
Choi Seong-geon, whose movements had stopped, barely managed to catch his escaping soul and furrowed his brows..
“This crazy guy.”
At this time, inside the action school where Kang Woo-jin was absent, producer Song Man-woo and martial arts director were calming down the entire staff..
“What I saw today was definitely Hamgu, Hamgu.”
It also included a warning to many people. Of course, it may be difficult to silence all of them, so a suitable excuse is added..
“It seems that Woojin was always good at martial arts and watched the ‘CQC’ storyboard in depth. Anyway, everyone please watch your mouth..”
In this way, there was no problem at all even if the rumor spread. Producer Song Man-woo, who had been organizing the action school for several tens of minutes, approached the stunt team standing around Ethan Smith. Their faces were naturally serious..
However, there was no mention of today's test..
“We'll leave for now too..”
Ethan, who has a big nose, left the action school after Kang Woo-jin. Producer Song Man-woo, who scheduled a future meeting with them, did not specifically schedule a stunt team..
Still, I was a little worried..
“after-”
Looking at the results alone, the veteran stunt team was chosen by Kang Woo-jin. In addition, producer Man-Woo Song conveyed to the stunt team that Woo-Jin was very skilled in martial arts, but was unfamiliar with CQC. However, upon closer inspection, Kang Woo-jin did not have the movements of a CQC novice..
Today I was literally slapped in the face by an expert..
I wasn't sure why. Did Kang Woo-jin originally know how to do CQC, or did she only know it from La Conti, a truly crazy genius? Whatever it was, producer Song Man-woo unintentionally delivered information mixed with errors, and the stunt team, which has a good reputation even in Hollywood, suffered from pride. It was clear just by looking at their last facial expressions..
Faces that are beyond gloomy.
“It bothers me.”
Martial arts director was attached to the words of bearded producer Song Man-woo..
“what.”
“The stunt team, I really care about their facial expressions at the end. You shouldn't do things sloppily due to bad feelings.?”
“no way. All I did today was a test related to the main character's body lines. They are professionals too. And the stunt team's job isn't just training and practicing movements. From editing the storyboard to improving the quality of the scenes, supervising the ‘CQC’ action scenes, acting as a stand-in, stunt casting, etc. What to do is called Taesan. I also have to strike a balance with myself. You also need to go on a location hunt for an overseas location where ‘CQC’ will actually be used..”
“I know, I know.”
In fact, the stunt team, led by Ethan, was scheduled to accompany Bangkok, Thailand for location hunting related to the overseas location of 'Beneficial Evil'. The filming storyboard for 'CQC' has already been released, but if experts see the scene with their own eyes and flesh it out, the quality will improve several times. It was work for that..
Producer Song Man-woo, who was wiping his beard, muttered as if he were wondering..
“I'm sure he won't run away...?”
The next day, Tuesday morning, the 6th.
The time is around 8 o'clock. A luxury hotel in Seoul. Just looking at it, foreigners who had returned from breakfast a few tens of minutes ago were gathered on the soft sofa in the spacious room. Everyone had a strong body or was bulky. Have half-shaved hair, tattoos, or a beard..
Among them, a foreign man with a big nose stands out..
It was Ethan Smith..
In other words, they were a stunt team that had recently moved over from Hollywood and had seen Kang Woo-jin for the first time yesterday. My muscles feel stronger, as if I've been exercising since early in the morning. A tablet and various papers were spread out on the table in front of the sofa, along with a coffee cup..
Just by looking at it, I could smell a meeting..
Among them, Ethan, the leader, scratched his big nose while holding his tablet. After a simple operation, the video started playing on the tablet. A Korean in the middle, four foreigners surrounding him. It was a full-shot video of Kang Woo-jin's CQC test that took place yesterday. What was received from the ‘Beneficial Evil’ side.
Of course, the video captures Kang Woo-jin's dazzle..
Ethan and the team watched the video in silence for a while..
“······”
“······”
However, the stunt team members slightly averted their eyes when they were shown being hit. Because I felt embarrassed. On the other hand, leader Ethan looks intently at the video without averting his gaze..
‘···As expected, I felt different when I saw the video..’
Yesterday at the scene, it was enough of a shock that I lost my soul, but when I actually saw it on video, it was a different atmosphere..
“hmm-”
Ethan stopped the video being displayed and crossed his arms. Thanks to this, his muscles stood out several times. Among the team members, who were looking at their leader deep in thought, a man with tattoos on both hands spoke English somewhat cautiously..
“Ethan, are you thinking about going back to LA??”
Ethan narrowed his eyebrows and asked back..
“what?”
“It was a test, but since we lost face, I thought we might consider going back..”
Ethan chuckled, ruffling his brown hair..
“at all. If you come to work, you have to work, where is the time to save face??”
“······”
“I was shocked by what happened yesterday, but it was just an unexpected event. Running away like that would be even more embarrassing..”
The team members also nodded..
“I had the same thought.”
“Me too.”
Ethan, who seemed to have asked the question out of anger, uncrossed his arms and touched the tablet that had stopped playing with his index finger. I saw Kang Woo-jin’s face..
“And regardless of whether Kang Woo-jin was in the special forces or what his past was, it's fun for us that he knows how to handle 'CQC'. Even better if you're an expert.”
“what is that.”
Ethan answered the question by recalling the Hollywood market..
“You know, we always start with the basics of being an actor. However, if the actor gets older and becomes better at action scenes, things will not change..”
“···You can take care of the attitude, style, impact, and dazzle of technology..”
“that's right. If the main character is inexperienced with the technique, start with training, but if the protagonist is skilled, training alone is enough..”
Among the team members, a bear-like man joined in..
“spare.”
“Yes, as we all know, training is all about learning the basics. There's no time to look at anything else. But training is different. There is now room to give glamor to proficiency. Whether it's the main character or the director. It means that we have been given an unexpected amount of time..”
After speaking, Ethan put down the tablet and picked up a stack of papers. It was an existing martial arts storyboard with 'CQC' action of 'Beneficial Evil' added..
“This means that there will be no problem if you upgrade this storyboard to Hollywood level..”
Kang Woo-jin's 'CQC' had many successes in Hollywood..
“Because there is no need to worry about whether the main character can handle it..”
The story was that Ethan's experiences were mixed..
