Reversal (1)
‘This square-jawed director, why are your eyes suddenly moist?’
Kang Woo-jin, who sat in the window seat inside the cafe, looked very calm on the outside. However, he was quite embarrassed as he looked at director Shin Dong-chun across from him.
‘Did I say something wrong? I didn’t act too strong just now.’
Is that guy really a bit weak-hearted? Kang Woo-jin’s reaction to himself was generally normal. Of course, anyone would do that if the person they were talking to suddenly gets teary-eyed. This is a man who looks to be in his mid-40s.
‘How should I react when my uncle cries? Is it true that the concept is maintained? No, why are you doing that in the first place?’
Kang Woo-jin had difficulty maintaining a strong appearance, but was also deeply worried. On the other hand, director Shin Dong-chun.
“thank you. Thank you, Woojin. really.”
The atmosphere is becoming more and more intimate. It’s like watching a moving movie. The area around the eyes also becomes very moist. If you touch it, it looks like it will burst into tears at any moment.
At what point did that happen?
Kang Woo-jin thought over the words he said when he came to this cafe. But he didn’t say anything hurtful. In fact, the words that resonated with director Shin Dong-chun were ‘affection’ and ‘attachment’, but Kang Woo-jin did not know this situation. Of course, he didn’t know about director Shin Dong-chun’s current life.
‘It’s getting worse. Should I stop it?’
Above all, Woojin didn’t even have affection for the ‘Healing Bureau’. The word ‘attachment’ he chose was simply finding the right word.
The background to that was simple.
Recently, with the exception of ‘Profiler Hanryang’, the only thing I cared about was ‘Heungsinso’, so I thought my level of attachment would be appropriate. Is it a bit odd? However, no matter how strong you are, you still have to be polite to your opponent. Rather than getting attention, I had a soft spot for being cool.
Well, you’re not lying, are you?
In reality, Woojin was slightly interested in the ‘Healing Bureau’. There won’t be a problem if you package that interest as attachment to make it pleasing to the other person. But why do my eyes get so moist?
Soon, Woojin cleared his throat discreetly and opened his mouth.
“Why are you doing that?”
Then Director Shin Dong-chun took a proper look around the eyes.
-Sigh.
It calmed my heart. A man who loves or is attached to my work should not behave any further when the actor is sitting in front of him.
“······Kang Woo-jin.”
Director Shin Dong-chun then asked Woojin in a slightly trembling voice.
“Can I ask what part of ‘Healing Investigation Office’ you liked… or rather liked?”
What part did you like? Although Kang Woo-jin was a little annoyed, his priority was to calm down director Shin Dong-chun’s strange state. Because people in the cafe started to glance.
‘I don’t know why it’s like that. compliment. Yes, let’s praise him.’
It was a compliment that even whales could dance. Therefore, Woojin decided to say good things about the ‘Healing Office’. Of course, while maintaining a solemn voice.
“first of all. I liked the detailed psychological changes of the main character, Kim Ryu-jin. It was a rough start, but…”
Behind him, Woojin calmly praised Director Shin Dong-chun while checking his condition. Very detailed and meticulous. Director Shin Dong-chun, who wrote the screenplay, also cannot experience ‘Healing Office’ with his own skin. However, Kang Woo-jin was in charge of everything about ‘Healing Bureau’.
Therefore, the words Woojin spoke were incredibly detailed. A compliment that only Kang Woo-jin, who has subspace, can give.
in this part
“ah.”
Director Shin Dong-chun, whose eyes were red, was once again shocked and moved.
‘Wow, I can’t believe you know this much detail. It’s as if I entered and came out of the ‘Healing Bureau’ world.’
That’s how much actor Kang Woo-jin was able to accurately understand every nook and cranny of ‘Heist Investigation Office’.
‘From the character’s thoughts, psychology, work background, set, and even the weather. It even reminds me of things I forgot. This is my scenario dozens of times. No, I saw more than that.’
It seemed like the analysis had already been completed and the character sculpture had been created. Soon, director Shin Dong-chun reprimanded himself while looking at Kang Woo-jin.
‘Hey Shin Dong-chun. There is an actor who is so affectionate and affectionate towards ‘Heist Investigation Office’.’
Again, this was a misunderstanding.
‘Are you going to throw away the ‘Healing Bureau’ just for the purpose of doing laundry?’
Whatever it was, director Shin Dong-chun made a decision in his mind at this moment.
‘As for acting, what has been shown in film history is enough. The analysis of the work is already so thorough, so there is nothing to worry about further.’
He said he would turn everything around in the ‘Healing Investigation Office’.
“I need to turn the plate over.”
“···yes?”
“Mr. Woojin.”
Director Shin Dong-chun, with confidence on his face, slowly pushed his body towards Woojin across from him. On the other hand, Kang Woo-jin, who had a poker face, pulled his body back so that it was not noticeable.
Either way, director Shin Dong-chun spoke very strongly.
“Please take on the role of Kim Ryu-jin, the main character of ‘Healing Office.’”
Meanwhile, around Bukhansan Mountain.
People piled out of the two yellow minibuses. About fifteen people. At first glance, I thought they were tourists, but they weren’t.
“It may be a little difficult, but please make sure to check your surroundings while climbing the mountain! “If you find anything unusual, please let the PD know right away!!”
These were the key staff members of the drama ‘Profiler Hanryang’. Leaders of each team, including the filming team and lighting team. Of course, the bearded producer Song Man-woo, who is in charge of all these people, was also seen.
“Bring bottled water-”
“yep! Seniors!”
The reason why Producer Song Man-woo came out to Bukhansan Mountain on a weekday morning, Wednesday, at the end of a bitterly windy winter, was simple. We went on a hunt for an outdoor location (outdoor shooting) location for ‘Profiler Hanryang’. I had to climb a mountain to check the cuts that would be used in the first scene.
Producer Song Man-woo then added instructions to the assistant director who was packing the bags.
“Make sure everyone knows the points again so they don’t get confused and get lost.”
“I understand, senior!”
It was at this time.
-♬♪
The cell phone in bearded producer Song Man-woo’s windbreaker let out a ringtone. Thanks to this, he naturally identified the caller and tilted his head.
“Hongstar?”
Because the opponent was top actress Hong Hye-yeon. Since she was the lead actress in a drama, it was natural to call her, but time was an issue.
“Why is he calling me this morning?”
Producer Song Man-woo narrowed his eyes slightly and gestured for the assistant director to go up first before answering the phone.
“Uh, Hongstar.”
Hong Hye-yeon smiled over the phone.
“Yes, PD, where are you?”
“me?? “I’m in Bukhansan now.”
“Ah, so you went location hunting?”
“uh. But what is it this morning? “I’m sure you didn’t call because you were curious about my schedule.”
“Well, it’s nothing else.”
Hong Hye-yeon, who trailed off a bit, got to the point.
“Yesterday, when we were eating at a Korean restaurant, the PD was on the phone in the middle of the day, and you just left while talking about Kang Woo-jin, right?”
“···It did?”
“No – the PD’s expression was so stiff that I wondered what had happened. why? “What did Woojin do?”
I was talking about what happened yesterday at a high-end Korean restaurant in Cheongdam-dong. Producer Song Man-woo left the VIP room after receiving a call from director Shin Dong-chun.
“Ah, that’s it.”
At that moment, producer Song Man-woo stopped what he was saying. Then Hong Hye-yeon gave a little urging through her cell phone.
“Yeah, what is that?”
“······”
But for some reason, producer Song Man-woo does not continue speaking. Because his head was spinning.
‘Yes, if you think about it… when I went back to the room, there was a hint that Hong Star was going to ask about Kang Woo-jin, right?’
That wasn’t all. Top actress Hong Hye-yeon has shown great concern for Kang Woo-jin since she first saw him in ‘Super Actor’. At least she was like that in the eyes of producer Song Man-woo.
Is that because you think of Kang Woo-jin as a man?
Probably not at all. The more believable side is probably acting. Hong Hye-yeon cares about Kang Woo-jin’s crazy acting. The reason was simple. Hong Hye-yeon is at the top of her list because she is full of greed for acting. In other words, she feels something in Kang Woo-jin’s acting. Whether it’s a desire, a longing, or whatever.
This was the reason why producer Song Man-woo thought highly of Hong Hye-yeon.
Hong Hye-yeon always yearned for acting even though her salary and salary increased every year. When she becomes Hong Hye-yeon, she can make a living for the rest of her life even if she does commercials or films. However, she always seemed to want to improve. She has actually grown up.
‘To that kid, Kang Woo-jin just looks like an alien. He did it with the help of those around him, but Kang Woo-jin did it alone.
Nevertheless, despite being self-taught, Kang Woo-jin captivated producer Song Man-woo and writer Park Eun-mi. Of course Hong Hye-yeon. Maybe she felt it subconsciously?
‘Aside from recognition, do you think you are inferior to Kang Woo-jin as an actor?’
Maybe Hong Hye-yeon was impatient. Could it be that her jealousy is turning into poison? Soon, producer Song Man-woo, who was shaking her head, brushed his beard.
‘okay. Hyeyeon Hong. This is a kid who will make independent films and short films if he wants to, as long as it helps with his acting. Regardless of your location.’
I recalled the contents of the ‘Heist Investigation’ scenario I received from director Shin Dong-chun.
‘And there is a good female character in ‘Heist Investigation Office’. If you mix these situations well… do you think something interesting will come out?’
Before I knew it, PD Song Man-woo was laughing. At this time, Hong Hye-yeon’s voice was heard again through her cell phone.
“PD?? anybody home? Is it because it’s a mountain that it won’t explode? PD??”
Producer Song Man-woo responded to her.
“Uh oh, I didn’t hear you for a moment.”
I came to a conclusion in my mind.
‘Why do big fish flock around that guy Kang Woo-jin? Well, let’s throw away the rice cake first.’
Of course, the center of everything was Kang Woo-jin. A role that will captivate director Shin Dong-chun and Hong Hye-yeon. Producer Song Man-woo opened his mouth next.
“No, I heard that Mr. Kang Woo-jin suddenly visited my close younger brother. “I did it because I was surprised.”
“Your younger brother?”
“uh. Ah – you know Hongstar too, right? “My name is Shin Dong-chun.”
“Ah, I know. Producer Dongchun. “I haven’t seen you working on a movie lately.”
“that’s right. “It looks like Woojin came to see me to make a short film written by Dongchun.”
“What is that…suddenly?? “We haven’t even opened the drama script reading yet?”
“well. I don’t know the exact details. I’ll have to check. But the situation in that short film was a bit scandalous.”
“why?”
Hong Hye-yeon asked a question over the phone, but producer Song Man-woo, with a smile on his face, avoided it. If I tell you everything, there will be less curiosity.
“later. I’m busy right now, Hongstar. “Let’s hang up for now.”
“Wait a minute!”
“huh?”
“That Dongchun PD. Director, have you seen the short film script? “What’s the title?”
“I saw it. It went down well. The title is ‘Healing Investigation Office.’”
“······”
Producer Song Man-woo is throwing a stab here.
“why? Are you curious about the scenario? “Can I borrow it?”
It was Hong Hye-yeon who bit into it right away.
“Hmm! If you give it to me, I will read it.”
10 minutes later, Hong Hye-yeon’s house.
Her house near Cheongdam-dong was described as luxurious. The interior was black and white, and all the furniture was luxurious.
Among them, Hong Hye-yeon was sitting on the living room sofa.
The pajamas I was wearing were also black. Her long, straight hair was neatly tied into a single string. Her face looks lost in thought as she stares into space.
“······”
Then Hong Hye-yeon turned her attention to the cell phone in her hand. It reminds me of the phone call I had with producer Song Man-woo 10 minutes ago.
‘Suddenly you’re going to a short film?’
In other words, Hong Hye-yeon was also thinking about Kang Woo-jin, a different kind of person.
‘Why did they suddenly turn it into a short film after it was included in a large-scale film like ‘Profiler Hanryang’??’
Her curiosity and curiosity were exploding right now. To an actor named Kang Woo-jin. To be precise, it is correct to say that interest in his unique and captivating acting has deepened.
“···I want to see that short story.”
A scenario is a scenario, but what Hong Hye-yeon said she wanted to see right now was not a video, but Kang Woo-jin himself. It was his acting that you could see with your own eyes. Because you can experience his acting skills by watching him act right in front of you.
Hong Hye-yeon’s irresistible desire for acting was fully unleashed.
Following.
-Sigh.
Hong Hye-yeon shifted her gaze from her cell phone to the table in front of her. On the table was a three-page script that I had previously received from ‘Super Actor.’ In fact, she has been secretly practicing this script.
but.
‘No matter how much I practice, I can’t do as well as Kang Woo-jin did.’
Similarly, it was not implemented. Even though I practiced for several days whenever I had time. However, Kang Woo-jin looked at this script for just one minute and showed that he was good at acting.
‘I don’t know about the past, but as soon as he gets popular, he’ll eat up all the towers. It’s definitely true. ‘Me too.’
At this moment, Hong Hye-yeon suddenly felt an unknown irritation.
“Ha-really. “I don’t like being pushed around!”
at the same time.
-Ding dong♬♪
Someone rang her doorbell. Maybe someone was supposed to come. Thanks to this, Hong Hye-yeon maintained her irritation and opened her front door, and soon a man wearing rimless glasses appeared in her shoe closet.
“I’m hungry, I’m hungry. Hyeyeon. Is there anything to eat at home??”
A man who calls Hong Hye-yeon very familiar. Because he was the representative of Hong Hye-yeon’s agency. However, he was a startup entertainer. If you look at it closely, her artist was Hong Hye-yeon, and the representative of her agency was Hong Hye-yeon, who had been taking care of her since her debut. In other words, she has been together all along.
When he was taking off his shoes.
“brother.”
Hong Hye-yeon, with her arms crossed, immediately made a request.
“Is there a short film called ‘Heist Investigation’? “Can you dig into the current situation?”
-Stop.
The CEO raised an eyebrow at the word ‘short film.’
“All, short stories??”
“huh. “I can dig, there’s nothing.”
“Wouldn’t it be difficult to figure out the situation for a short film? I’m asking because it’s strange that you asked about a short story. You…are you sure you don’t want to make a short story at this time? huh? “Say no.”
Hong Hye-yeon then shrugged her shoulders and answered indifferently.
“no. “It’s just a little bit appealing, not yet.”
