Reversal (4)
For an actor who faces a crossroads in making choices for each work, the ability to see the work is one of the necessary virtues. It is expressed in a lumpy way through feeling or instinct. Or an astute eye. Sometimes, actors who do quite well in every project they do fall into this category.
However, this skill does not improve with practice.
It was almost like a talent you had to have from day one. The power of instinct that easily defeats reason that gets involved in a moment. Any actor who had this was very blessed. Is this a character that is severely unbalanced?
However, very few actors had this. It was safe to say that it hasn’t happened recently.
I haven’t even seen producer Song Man-woo, who has been a major drama producer for over 10 years. However, Kang Woo-jin suddenly appeared in the entertainment industry. Did that arrogant monster really have that sense?
Soon, producer Song Man-woo asked the calm Woo-jin again. It was for clear understanding.
“By feeling. “Are you saying that you just chose the ‘crime report’ based on intuition?”
Kang Woo-jin, who was chic in response to the question, tilted his head inwardly. Why are you surprised? Is persimmon that strange? Persimmon is a common word used everywhere, right? It was a natural question since he still lacked knowledge about the entertainment industry. I still didn’t know how great that ‘feel’ was for an actor.
Whatever it was, he had already spit it out, so Kang Woo-jin added flesh to his words.
“The content of ‘Healing Investigation Office’ was good, but what moved me was the feeling.”
“···why? What kind of feeling is that? “I think ‘Healing Investigation Office’ will do well?”
A question was asked again. At this point, Woojin added a booster of bravado. Well, that level of subspace seems like a hint of the future.
“yes. I don’t think it will work. I think ‘Healing Investigation Office’ will do well.”
“What confidence…”
Woojin’s tone of voice without any worries. That was sincere. At least producer Song Man-woo and writer Park Eun-mi, who watch Kang Woo-jin, felt that way, and writer Park Eun-mi, who writes works that embody that feeling.
‘What is the source of that confidence??’
Kang Woo-jin once again looked like an alien. It’s not arrogant or arrogant. She is so purely confident. At this time, writer Park Eun-mi took off her hair band and pushed her body towards Kang Woo-jin.
“Isn’t that a bit reckless? “Woojin, right now is the most important time, right?”
“Is that so?”
Only writer Park Eun-mi was serious. Kang Woo-jin was the ultimate in calmness. In response, she stuck her tongue inside her.
‘This guy is somehow crazy. Where in the world is this actor?!’
He was clearly different from the actors usually seen around him. On the other hand, producer Song Man-woo was judging Woo-jin rather calmly.
‘The past is unclear. After years, maybe a dozen years of self-taught acting, he showed up when he wanted to. In the name of killing time.’
Even as soon as Kang Woo-jin appeared, he joined the two works without a waiting period. Large-scale dramas and short films.
‘It’s a process anyway. ‘No rookie can show this crazy speed.’
For rising rookies, the first step and the next were always important. Therefore, the agency also judges the work very sensitively at that time.
However, Kang Woo-jin currently does not have an agency.
Nevertheless, Kang Woo-jin chooses works based on his own intuition without anyone’s advice.
‘But the one I picked right away was ‘Heist Investigations’, a short film that I wouldn’t normally even bother to watch.’
If a rookie or unknown player gets a chance, it is better to go to the big team. Since Kang Woo-jin joined ‘Profiler Hanryang’, he could choose slowly while watching his tastes after the airing.
‘Nevertheless, I very refreshingly picked ‘Healing Investigation Office’.’
Here, producer Song Man-woo stared into the unwavering eyes of Kang Woo-jin across from him. Of course, there is still no guarantee that ‘Heist Investigation Office’ will do well. But what if a real ‘crime report’ breaks out?
‘That crazy acting, extraordinary star quality, guts, plus quick sense and instinct.’
It was clear that the star named Kang Woo-jin would grow into a great actor that no one could match. Soon, producer Song Man-woo was involuntarily impressed by the alien being in front of him.
Quite excessive.
‘This guy is really a fraud, isn’t he?’
And then bearded producer Song Man-woo laughed.
“Haha, I want this. “If I start a production company in the future, I will definitely have to visit Woojin when choosing a script.”
Next, writer Park Eun-mi grabbed both of Woojin’s hands across from him. I was a little excited.
“Mr. Woojin! What do you think will happen to our ‘Profiler Hanryang’?? huh? “If you think about it, it’s not because Woojin chose it, but because we pulled him.”
On the other hand, Woojin was a little disgusted inside. Is this author’s habit of holding hands? Thanks to that, he subtly removed the hand he was holding and answered.
“Wouldn’t it work out well for the two of you?”
“What! How thin the drama is! “Even if a lot of top actors participate, it’s hard to fail!”
Oh yeah? Woojin didn’t know much about the situation in the drama, and he felt like he had to calm down writer Park Eun-mi across from him. Above all, I had some confidence in the ‘profiler quantity’.
Therefore, Kang Woo-jin’s answer was simple. It was a mixture of sincerity.
“I joined because I thought it would work out well.”
At that moment, writer Eunmi Park felt relieved and strengthened at the same time.
“···I am useless. “I guess this is why people believe in religion.”
backwards.
Producer Song Man-woo and writer Park Eun-mi, who had been focused on Kang Woo-jin, managed to return to the main topic. The reason they called Woojin was because of the script. Writer Park Eun-mi, wearing a hairband, opened the water once again.
“The original script had come out up to Part 4. But you recently revised the script starting from Part 2, right? “Part 2 to Part 4.”
“You mean crystal?”
“Yes, but I didn’t completely change it, but I slightly changed the focus on the characters. As a result, there was a very slight difference from Part 1. Of course, that was also modified.”
In other words, there was a slight change in the overall script, and writer Park Eun-mi smiled after receiving the stack of papers from producer Song Man-woo.
“No – the video of Assistant Manager Park that Mr. Woojin showed me. That’s a complete cheat. Do you feel inspired when you look at it? First of all, if you look at this part of Part 2, Assistant Manager Park’s lines and psychology have changed a bit…”
Afterwards, writer Park Eun-mi began explaining the appropriately modified role of ‘Deputy Park’. It was quite fun, so Kang Woo-jin was also focused. What can I say, Korean history class is boring, but history snippets are interesting?
A few tens of minutes later.
“I will deliver the official scripts for Parts 2 to 4 as soon as they come out. And this is the first part of the official book script.”
Author Park Eun-mi hands Kang Woo-jin a book that feels like something new. It was the official book script for Part 1 of ‘Profiler Hanryang’.
“As I said, there were very slight revisions to the first part as well, so please go through it again while thinking about the first draft.”
“All right.”
As Woojin pulled the book script with a black square attached to the side, producer Song Man-woo, who checked his watch, changed the subject.
“Mr. Woojin. Speaking of script reading. It’s not confirmed yet because we’re still adjusting the actors’ schedules. “I think it will probably be done in MT format.”
Script reading? It was Woojin who I remembered searching for.
‘It was probably a place to get the chemistry between all the actors in sync before filming, right?’
Kang Woo-jin felt a little bit of anticipation and worry. It’s amazing to see the actors, but I’m nervous because it’s my first time in such a place.
But MT? I’m sure it’s not a motel.
Woojin, who hid the change in expression as much as possible, checked to see if it was the MT he knew.
“You mean MT format?”
Then Producer Song Man-woo immediately nodded.
“that’s right. As you know, there are script readings that are just held in a reading room, but in cases where there are many actors or staff, there are also cases where they are held in an MT format to allow for collaboration.”
“Ah-yes.”
“But, well, the script reading is nominal. The actors and all the staff came and had fun, hahaha. “We grilled meat and drank alcohol.”
At this point, writer Park Eun-mi hit producer Song Man-woo on the shoulder, telling him to come to his senses, and Kang Woo-jin fell into his own delusion.
‘Wait a minute…you’re going to hang out with celebrities??’
Hahahoho grilling meat and drinking with celebrities who you thought lived in another world? I saw an article the other day and there were top names in ‘Profiler Hanryang’ including Hong Hye-yeon.
Woojin found it amazing that he could have fun in the same space as them with the same job.
Thanks to.
‘Wow, Mr. I didn’t even think of this.’
Woojin’s tremors suddenly intensified. Although it didn’t show on the outside, my body was itching. It was at this time that PD Song Man-woo continued his words.
“Anyway, the date hasn’t been confirmed yet. Approximately next month, early or mid-March? If so, can Woojin go? It won’t be long. 1 Night 2 Days?”
“···it’s possible.”
“okay. Since you are going to go after completing the second part of the official book script, it is better to be fully familiar with the script. I’m going to go and guess part 2. “Woojin will take care of it.”
Producer Song Man-woo then explained the storyboards for the role of Assistant Manager Park outlined to Kang Woo-jin. From clothes to appearance and other things.
“We will prepare most of it, but Woojin can also bring any props he feels he needs. “I’ll read it and if it’s okay, I’ll use it.”
When all the meetings ended, about 3 hours had passed, and artist Park Eun-mi, who was seeing off Kang Woo-jin, who was cynically leaving the studio, caught up with him.
“Mr. Woojin. I didn’t even know the number until now? “Can you tell me?”
She smiles and picks Kang Woo-jin’s number. Since producer Song Man-woo knew, she didn’t need to do that. This was something she did only because she wanted to.
“here.”
As a result, writer Park Eun-mi’s number was saved in Kang Woo-jin’s cell phone. As the numbers of big names pile up, the value of Kang Woo-jin’s cell phone increases significantly.
Anyway, as soon as Woojin left the studio and got into the elevator.
“Wow – how long has it been since you last MT?”
I released the concept that I had been silently maintaining. He soon became excited.
“Are Hong Hye-yeon and other celebrities going together? “The scale of my life is getting bigger.”
I’ve been to MT since I was in college, but this one was different, starting with the number of people going. Soon, it was time for Woojin to get off on the first floor and take light steps.
-Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
The cell phone let out a long vibration in his padded pocket. It was a phone call. The other person was director Shin Dong-chun, whom I had not contacted for several days since the last cafe.
-Sigh.
Kang Woo-jin regained the solemnity he had lost while answering the phone.
“Yes, director.”
Director Shin Dong-chun’s voice over the cell phone.
“Mr. Woojin. Would you like to see it tomorrow morning? “I have something to tell you about ‘Healing Investigation Office.’”
It was a bit gloomy.
“I’ll send you the address, so you can come there.”
The next morning, the 26th, towards Jeongja Station in Bundang.
Kang Woo-jin was found at a rental office. His clothes today are light, perhaps because the weather is a bit warmer. Aviation jumper and jeans. Woo-jin was sitting at a desk in a narrow rental office, and on the other side of him was director Shin Dong-chun, a tired look on his face.
Soon, square-jawed director Shin Dong-chun looked around the rental office and smiled awkwardly.
“I rented it in a hurry, but it’s not inconvenient, right?”
“Yes, it’s okay.”
In fact, this rental office was urgently purchased by director Shin Dong-chun, who had parted ways with Blue Gaze Film Company. Because we can’t always talk at a cafe. Although it was small, it was perfect for a meeting.
Whatever it is.
“Woo-jin.”
Director Shin Dong-chun took out the thick transparent file he had brought with him and opened his mouth with difficulty.
“Let me tell you straight from the conclusion. “I’ve been trying to find film companies and investors, but it’s not easy.”
In other words, it means that they are still wasting money.
“Although it is not accurate, it feels like GGO Entertainment has put in some effort, making it more difficult than before.”
“It’s mid-April.”
“yes? Ah – ‘Mise-en-scène Short Film Festival’? that’s right. Since it takes place in mid-April, we have to start filming in early or mid-March at the latest… I’m sorry. “I can confidently say that the situation is not very good.”
Director Shin Dong-chun suddenly becomes depressed. Here, Woojin, wearing a poker face, was feeling pity for him inside.
‘This is exactly what I looked like when I worked at a design company. When I ate the sixth sian peantji, it was the same.’
Perhaps thanks to this, Kang Woo-jin’s heavy voice softened slightly.
“Here’s what I can do to help.”
Director Shin Dong-chun shook his head and managed to smile.
“no. Sorry, Woojin, please just think about acting. “I will somehow manage the funding and film production.”
At this time.
-♬♪
A call came from Kang Woo-jin. Because the vibration was not turned on, Woojin moved quite quickly.
“Oh, sorry.”
Then I stopped when I saw the caller.
-Hong Hye-yeon.
It was a call from top actress Hong Hye-yeon. Look at this, Dae-young Kim, I’m calling Hye-yeon Hong like a friend? If it were Kang Woo-jin at home, the corner of her mouth would have twitched.
“······”
In front is director Shin Dong-chun. That’s why Woojin forcibly suppressed his excitement.
“for a moment.”
“Yes yes yes, take it.”
Next, Kang Woo-jin answered the phone with a clear voice.
“yes.”
“The response is so simple. “Don’t you usually say hello?”
“Yes, hello.”
“That’s it. Why do I keep bowing down and bowing down? Anyway, where are you now? “If it’s okay, I’d like to see you for a moment.”
me? You want to see me? The sentiment was the same, but Hong Hye-yeon only meant to meet. But something made Kang Woo-jin feel excited.
“Why are you doing that?”
“huh? “I have something to tell you.”
“It’s difficult now. “I’m meeting someone.”
“ah! “Producer Dong-chun by any chance??”
“······?”
How did know. Woojin was a little embarrassed, and Hong Hye-yeon’s laughter was heard on the other end of the phone.
“Right? no wonder. Well then, that’s good. Please tell me the location. I’ll be waiting around. “To be honest, I don’t have time other than now.”
If so, I should let you know. Instead, I had to bury my indifference. Woojin appropriately informed her of her current location and her call was quickly disconnected. Later, Kang Woo-jin and director Shin Bong-chun had a profound conversation about ‘Healing Bureau’.
“Woojin, I think it would be best to leave out this cut.”
“Is that so?”
“yes. I think the production cost needs to be reduced. “If you reduce it as much as possible, you will have a better chance of finding investors.”
“Then the quality won’t drop?”
“But taking pictures comes first.”
That’s roughly about 45 minutes.
-Suddenly!
The closed rental office door suddenly swung open. Director Kang Woo-jin and Shin Dong-chun could not help but be surprised.
and.
“Ah, there is a place like this?”
A woman wearing a mask and a black hat came in through the open door. Denim jacket with hood. As she watched Kang Woo-jin and director Shin Dong-chun, she took off her mask.
-Sigh.
Only then did I see his face. Perfect beauty with clear skin. As soon as he saw the woman, director Shin Dong-chun’s eyes widened as if they were about to spill.
“Ho, Hong Hyeyeon??!”
Because the woman was Hong Hye-yeon. She even took off her hat to show off her long straight hair, and smiled at the square-jawed director Shin Dong-chun, who was completely entranced by her.
“PD. No, you are the director now. “Director, I want to ‘investigate’ your case.”
Director Shin Dong-chun immediately wakes up. Perhaps because he was so surprised, his expression was bizarre.
“uh?! Uhhhh??!! “W-What is that!!”
At this time, Hong Hye-yeon turned her head. I saw Kang Woo-jin’s face sitting to my right. Kang Woo-jin was so surprised that she froze with an expressionless expression. Hong Hye-yeon, who did not have her chin to know this, made eye contact with her Woo-jin and smiled.
“Are you not surprised at all? “Anyway, can I do a ‘heist report’?”
