I was immediately mistaken for a monster genius actor - Episode 319
‘News that the official production presentation for 'Familiar Gisaeng' has been confirmed. Usually, the production presentation is held about two months before the editing of the work is completed. However, it did not take up to two months to complete the latter half of the editing of ‘The Unfamiliar Gisaeng’. That's what Director Kyotaro, who supervises editing, thought..
‘By the end of September at the latest.’
It's currently mid-August, so there's roughly a month and a little more left. Director Kyotaro then spoke to the representative of ‘Toega’ film company..
“I’ll tell Woojin Kang first..”
‘Woojin should not have been left out at the production press conference for ‘The Stranger.’.
“He is the key, he is a very busy actor so make sure to confirm in advance..”
The representative nodded..
“All right. This situation was already communicated last month, and now that ‘Boyfriend: Remake’ is out, we expect that they will mix our schedule with the animation schedule..”
“I guess so.”
‘Because 'Male Friend: Remake' suddenly became a huge hit, it also helped 'Unfamiliar Gisaeng'. Of course, that passage was Kang Woo-jin. Anyway, Director Kyotaro sighed and rubbed his gray hair. Reminiscing about the past. It was an after-party held by Chairman Hideki Yoshimura after the filming of 'Familiar Gisaeng' was completed..
‘Mr. Woojin wanted to increase the size even more..’
In response to the motion to reduce publicity in hopes of calming down the numerous controversies surrounding the anticipated 'Familiar Gisaeng', the only word Kang Woo-jin uttered was 'Nopaku'..
As a result.
‘Expanding all editions, including promotions and marketing, other than production presentations and events, to a greater extent than before..’
On the contrary, everyone, including Director Kyotaro, agreed to the conclusion that the situation should be amplified several times. The ‘unfamiliar gisaeng’ had to break through that situation head-on. Director Kyotaro then asked the staff in the editing room to take a short break. Soon, only he and the representative of Toega Film Company remained in the editing room. Of the two, the one who spoke again was Director Kyotaro, who gestured for us to sit down..
“Pan is. No, how was the production presentation organized??”
The CEO, who pulled out a nearby chair and sat down, answered seriously..
“The date is Saturday, August 22nd.”
Approximately 5 days left.
“The time was set at noon and the location was ‘Kashihi Tokyo Hotel’. All the main actors, including Kang Woo-jin, are planning to attend, and writer Akari Takikawa is also available..”
“thank god. Reporters?”
“According to the list, we gathered over 120 people. We doubled what we had planned. 'Familiar Gisaeng' is such a hot topic that it may attract more attention..”
“It doesn't matter, I was planning on doing that. and?”
“We also prepared a live streaming on YouTube on the day of the production presentation, including for reporters. We also plan to promote streaming through social media in advance..”
“hmm.”
In a word, during the production presentation of ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’, they said they would do everything they could. In the case of real-time streaming, it is a procedure that is often done in Korea, but 'Unfamiliar Parasite' has many top actors, including Kang Woo-jin, and big names such as writer Akari. In addition, since it was an explosive issue in Japan, it was obvious that many netizens would flock to it..
Those netizens will include not only the public, but also Japanese actors and entertainment industry officials..
Director Kyotaro slowly crossed his arms and rubbed his chin..
‘That's not enough to amplify the game..’
I recalled Chairman Hideki’s comment at the past after-party..
‘Kang Woo-jin is an icon of declaration of war.’
To be precise, it was an illusion that Chairman Hideki understood arbitrarily. It is a deep misunderstanding that Kang Woo-jin's moderately recited words about raising the plate will lead to a good hit and draw even more attention..
‘What is Woojin planning??’
At this time, it was 100% obvious that Kang Woo-jin had nothing to think about, but Director Kyotaro's smile deepened. As confirmed, the amplified version announcing the advance of the 'unfamiliar parasite' was properly laid out. Now all that was left was the nuclear bomb for Kang Woo-jin to drop..
‘Yeah, I'm starting to get excited too. What kind of declaration of war will you make?.’
However, Director Kyotaro also had no intention of leaving everything to Kang Woo-jin. The director himself cannot be lukewarm when the lead actor does not sacrifice himself so much..
“I also have to make up my mind.”
The illusion planted by Chairman Hideki encouraged Coach Kyotaro's fighting ability. At this time, the eyes of the CEO of the Toega film company landed on several monitors behind Director Kyotaro. Kang Woo-jin’s face. No, the image of ‘Kiyoshi Iyota’ was being printed out in a stopped state..
Kiyoshi is staring at the camera with an expressionless face..
Although the representative had already seen Woojin's acting on set, it was his first time seeing it on a monitor and in video. And as soon as he saw Kiyoshi on the monitor, he swallowed his saliva. Kang Woo-jin's acting may be acting, but I got goosebumps as soon as I saw Kiyoshi's face that he embodied..
‘This movie will definitely throw Japan into chaos..’
It may have been an unprecedented disaster in the Japanese film industry..
backwards.
In the early afternoon, important news related to 'familiar gisaeng' was poured into the Japanese media. Kang Woo-jin in Korea confirmed this while moving between schedules..
‘Wow, the firepower is crazy.??’
Kang Woo-jin is tough on the outside, but bright on the inside. Even though he had already received the invitation for the production presentation of 'The Strange Gisaeng', the strong flame of 'The Strange Gisaeng' was surprising..
『Announcement of production press conference for “The Strange Sacrifice” starring Kang Woo-jin』
『「“Unfamiliar Parasite” finally holds a press conference amid numerous issues and controversies』
Of course, news from the official production press conference for 'Familiar Gisaeng', which is currently in the middle of editing. Thanks to 'Boyfriend: Remake', attention suddenly focused on 'Unfamiliar Gisaeng', which had already been thrown at the firewood again..
It has to be that way.
『22Production press conference for “Familiar” will be held on Sunday and Saturday! The location is Kashihi Tokyo Hotel, and live streaming will also be held on the same day.』
‘Because the production presentation of 'Familiar Gisaeng' included a variety of content. In addition to the fact that there were more than twice the usual number of reporters, the fact that live streaming was conducted also stimulated public opinion. This rice cake was widely spread on Japan's leading SNS by the night of the same day..
-This wasn't discontinued?
-This is my first time seeing a production presentation that also features wwww streaming! Of course Kang Woo-jin will also appear.?
-I'm curious! 22nd? What time is it? If you have time, you should definitely see it.!
-....An unfamiliar gisaeng with a Korean actor as its main character...isn't that good....
-How can you be so confident, even ignoring the complaints of the original fans??
- It seems like Kang Woo-jin will be standing in front of the media for the first time after his appearance in Stranger Things has been confirmed.
-Looking at the atmosphere, it seems like there will be a lot of people flocking to streaming wwwwww
-If Kang Woo-jin appears, I have to see it.!!!
Various reactions arose, but there was no coherent feeling. While cheering, they also cursed coolly. There are also many people who say they are waiting or express indifference. What can I say, it was mud itself. It seemed like a clash between Kang Woo-jin's fans and the original 'Familiar Parasite' Kang Seong fans..
『SNS is heated up because of “Unfamiliar Parasite” right before the production press conference.』
『News of the production press conference for “Familiar Gisaeng” spreads widely on social media, and public reactions are sharply divided.』
This situation became several times more powerful as the 17th ended and the next day, the 18th, dawned. It snowballed beyond social media and into the community. There was even news that a live-action film of 'Familiar Gisaeng' was coming out in a foreign press article. This was because the original ‘Familiar Gisaeng’ book was so popular around the world..
Whatever it was, I was watching the flood begin to break out..
“Hmm, a little disappointing..”
Chairman Hideki, head of the Kashihi Group and main investor of 'The Stranger', gave instructions to Riri, head of the Arsenic Department..
“Let’s also give some power to the media. So that it spreads louder than now.”
“Okay, Chairman..”
“Are the halls where the production presentation will be held and preparations going well??”
“yes. We have clearly communicated this to Kashihi Tokyo Hotel and are making meticulous preparations..”
“Don't forget to promote.”
“Yes, Mr. Chairman..”
Articles have already been poured into the 'Unfamiliar Gisaeng' channel, but Chairman Hideki's personal power is also added. What happened next was obvious even without looking at it. It will be even more flooded than it is now. Of course, Akari Takikawa, the original author of ‘Familiar Gisaeng’, also did not stay still. She mentioned the movie ‘The Strange Stranger’ in an interview with a major media outlet..
“Writer, the live-action film ‘Familiar’ has become a hot topic again. Can you give us a little hint as to what kind of content is being produced? Haha, many fans around the world are very curious..”
“It may be difficult to go into detail, but one thing is certain: the movie 'The Stranger' will be more interesting than 'The Stranger', which I wrote. And it will surprise you.”
“Oh, is that so??”
“I guarantee you. Because I was surprised too. I think this ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’ production presentation will be like that as well..”
“Ah, I saw the article. The author is also attending? Maybe Mr. Kang Woo-jin??”
“Of course, he is the key lead actor in 'Familiar Gisaeng'..”
This interview with author Akari was published around the afternoon of the same day..
『[Hot Issue] Akari Takikawa, the original writer of “The Strange Gisaeng,” said, “The movie The Strange Gisaeng will surprise everyone.””』
Perhaps because I had already done a good job of hooking, the aggro appeal was instantaneous. Numerous comments from the Japanese public poured in. Kang Woo-jin, who saw it, was at a commercial filming site in Korea. Perhaps it was time for a break, but he was wearing his advertising outfit, a white shirt and jeans..
Woojin's face with his legs crossed was solemn, but.
‘Is the plate getting bigger?? Is this right???’
Kang Woo-jin was very surprised. Well, he expected it to some extent because of what he said, but the current situation in Japan was several times more aggro than the picture he had drawn. Indeed, with the big players working together, this is a piece of gum. Kang Woo-jin, who was muttering to himself, felt a little worried..
‘Ugh, this is a bit burdensome..’
But the worry didn't last long.
‘Tsk, that's enough.’
I came to the conclusion that all I had to do was maintain the concept without letting my guard down..
‘It's actually more convenient because all you have to do is think about it..’
A few days later, on the highway.
20On Friday, it was a little after 8 o'clock in the morning. The black van carrying Kang Woo-jin was driving down the road. Destination: Gimpo Airport. Several team members were in that van, and of course Kang Woo-jin was also there. Woojin wore a beige shirt and dark brown slacks. Hair and makeup are already stylish.
It was natural since I had been to the shop early in the morning..
“······”
Woojin, who was deeply cynical, was looking out the window indifferently, but inside he was half excited and half worried..
‘It's already a strange production presentation. Time flies so fast. No matter what, it will be opened soon..’
Because he was scheduled to go to Japan today. Then, Choi Seong-geon in the passenger seat turned around, tying his ponytail tightly again. He held a diary in his hand..
“Woojin, I'm going to Japan today, and starting around lunchtime, I'll be doing interviews related to 'Boyfriend: Remake' and going around 'A10 Studio', etc. Tomorrow, on the 21st, you'll know, but the main event is the 'Unfamiliar Parasite' production presentation..”
Kang Woo-jin's schedule in Japan this time was short. Approximately 3 days. Today, the 20th, is the schedule for the blockbuster hit 'Boyfriend: Remake', and tomorrow the 21st and 22nd, several events, including the production presentation of 'Unfamiliar Parasite', were the main events. Because it was a short period of 3 days, the schedule was tight. Nevertheless, I had to do as much as possible and get out of there..
Anyway, Woojin answered calmly..
“Yes, Mr. Representative..”
Choi Seong-gun put his cell phone to his ear when he heard the ringtone. Soon, Han Ye-jeong, who recently changed her hair to orange, called Woojin..
“Oppa, the production presentation for ‘Familiar Gisaeng’. The CEO said I needed to put in some effort that day, so I made a list of outfits. What would you like??”
I saw that several concept costumes had been printed out as photos. Among them, Kang Woo-jin took a picture of one outfit..
“this.”
It was all black.
About two hours later. Kang Woo-jin passed through the departure hall, leaving behind a huge crowd of reporters. Onlookers quickly gathered, but because Choi Seong-geon prepared more guards in advance, no major problems occurred..
At this time.
-Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
While Woojin was moving to the gate, his cell phone vibrated for a long time. Kang Woo-jin is checking on the other person without any special since it has rang often recently..
‘oh?’
Kang Woo-jin's expression didn't change at the concept, but he was a little surprised on the inside. The reason was simple. Because the opponent was director Ahn Ga-bok, a veteran of the Korean film industry. Soon, Kang Woo-jin motioned for Choi Seong-gun to stop for a moment and put his cell phone to his ear. the voice was low.
“Yes, director. hello.”
Angabok's old voice over the phone was still there. However, it felt drier..
“hmm. It’s been quite a while since I last contacted you. Where are you??”
“I'm about to leave for Japan now..”
“Our ‘leeches’ are just around the corner too..”
“···Is that so?”
“hmm. So we need to take care of it too. I think editing will be completed before mid-September..”
There are less than 3 weeks left. Then, director Ang Bok looked over the cell phone..
“Anyway, I guess I'll have to go to Japan and see it. I need to make a poster.”
He recited definitively.
“The main poster to send to Cannes..”
