Misunderstanding (3)
A man in his 50s with a beard. No, Song Man-woo, SBC’s veteran drama producer, had an excellent eye for actors. He was even very picky.
It was a worthy experience.
Because I have been directing dramas for nearly 20 years. He has created at least 15 works, many of which were hits. When he was first asked to be a judge for the first preliminary round of ‘Super Actor’, he didn’t have much expectations.
Even if you try it, only one or two out of 1,000 people will be able to see it.
Even if it comes to the market, it will be no different from trash. As expected, the first contestant to be judged was a sight to behold. It’s Kang Woo-jin.
Producer Song Man-woo’s first impression of Woo-jin.
‘Why does your face look like it has a screw missing?’
It was stupid. As if to prove this, top actress Hong Hye-yeon sitting on the left.
“PD. “Isn’t he a bit stupid?”
The caddy (casting director) of a famous production company sitting on the right expressed similar sentiments.
“Iknow, right. “It’s so bad from the beginning.”
Kang Woo-jin was distraught. That appearance was judged to be lifeless by producer Song Man-woo. Even if you look at the acting, it is meaningless.
There it is.
“Seniors. “Listen for a moment.”
The whispers of the short-haired female producer, the main producer of ‘Super Actor’, amplified producer Song Man-woo’s sighs.
“That person is not an official participant. “I said I was just following a friend, but that friend went to the bathroom and didn’t come back.”
“so?”
“If the first contestant is eliminated, the atmosphere in the picture will be very bad, so let’s just make him act to kill time, right?”
“Taking time?”
“yes. It would be nice to get at least one gag cut. “I need the source material for trailers and teasers for YouTube anyway.”
In other words, that idiot wasn’t even an official participant.
“Are you saying you’re going to use it as a hooking sacrifice or something?”
“Ah, the wording of the offering is too rough. “Let’s just give it a try or something like that.”
“······Well, as the main PD, you take care of it. “You should definitely ask that friend’s doctor, right?”
“Oh, of course. “It’s not like it’s been 28 years.”
Kang Woo-jin, an offering for the general public or for hooking. This was the conclusion reached by three judges, including PD Song Man-woo. That’s how Kang Woo-jin’s acting began.
The atmosphere changed drastically in just 5 seconds.
“Huh! “Wow!”
Kang Woo-jin, who lost a screw, hit PD Man-woo Song in the face. She was also able to see the facial expression of actress Hong Hye-yeon.
And 1 minute.
Suddenly, everyone in this space stopped thinking. Not only the judges who saw Kang Woo-jin crawling like crazy on the floor, but also the fifteen ‘super actors’ staff.
The current acting of Kang Woo-jin was of such destructive power.
The power to catch the eyes of veterans here in just one minute.
“Ugh! Hehehe-”
It is realistic, realistic and dense. Even without looking at the script, I could tell that Kang Woo-jin was currently in the mountains and being attacked by a gunman.
Producer Song Man-woo witnessed it right in front of his eyes.
‘It’s not a fluke or a level of talent. This is at least 5 years. ‘Maybe I’ve been honing it for 10 years.’
Kang Woo-jin’s evaluation was overturned. It was a skill that even top actors who make their living from acting cannot easily demonstrate.
‘······Emotions become attitudes, and feelings become postures.’
Worry becomes an expression and the smell becomes a delusion. All of this is mixed together to create a character’s expression, and the difficult expression must be carefully chewed in order to spit out an appropriate line.
You have to repeat it endlessly to barely get one cut.
Many existing actors in Korea also risk their lives for this work. Even top stars and veteran actors who are praised as the best.
But that.
‘He… just read the script for a moment and implement it?’
Kang Woo-jin is doing it as easily as blowing his nose. She wasn’t good at acting or anything like that. Woojin is now just a character in the script. But his shock didn’t end there. It was because of Kang Woo-jin’s calm answer to the question.
“I taught myself.”
love of learning? You taught yourself this crazy act?
‘······What a lonely path I have walked.’
In this way, Kang Woo-jin stabbed everyone, including top actresses, veteran drama producers, and others in the industry.
– Sweet.
I leisurely left the room. No one caught him. He just made a stupid expression on everyone’s face.
After this.
“S-sorry!!”
The first real participant, Kang Woo-jin’s friend, entered. Kim Dae-young, who had a guilty expression on his face, was generally sturdy, and Producer Song Man-woo’s first question as soon as he saw him was this.
“The friend who came with me. What is your job?”
“······yes? Ah, I do design. “Why are you doing that?”
“continue?”
“yes. Just design…”
Here, all the answers Kang Woo-jin gave were proven to be true. The same goes for self-study. It was producer Song Man-woo who seemed like Jae-ya’s hidden expert.
He then filled his head with a monster named Kang Woo-jin.
“I understand, Daeyoung Kim. “Let’s look at the acting first.”
I turned my attention to Daeyoung Kim.
“yes!”
However, Kim Dae-young’s acting is disappointing.
“Cut. That’s it. Thank you for your hard work.”
It ended in 15 seconds.
10 minutes later, the bus stop in front of the SBC Headquarters Art Center.
There was quite a crowd around. Family, friends, etc. who followed us to today’s preliminaries. Among them, Kang Woo-jin was seen running away from the art academy.
“Aww… Mr.”
I sit on a chair at the bus stop and press my temples. I had a headache, but I was also trying to sort out a shocking incident that had happened earlier.
‘Something like a black square appeared next to the page script, right? When I pressed that button, I was sucked into a strange space.’
An endlessly dark sub-space.
‘The script I received was floating in that damn place, and when I grabbed it… I was suddenly transported into a crazy mountain. I must have died there, right??’
It was certain. Kang Woo-jin died once in that dark mountain. By a gunman whose face was black. It was not a blur of imagination, dream, or memory.
Kang Woo-jin’s body clearly moved and he experienced it 100% directly.
Even now it was vivid. I felt like I could show the emotions I felt in the mountains at that time right now. What can I say, the feeling of being firmly established in the body?
‘This is like time travel, right?’
What on earth is that damn subspace? Why did you make a normal person experience death?
“Why is that possible in the first place?”
Right at this time.
-Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
The cell phone inside Woojin’s padding let out a long vibration. It was a call from Daeyoung Kim.
Five minutes passed like that.
From far away, the sturdy Kim Dae-young came running, crying.
“Hey! Kang Woo-jin!”
As soon as he saw his friend arrive, Kang Woo-jin immediately grabbed him by the collar.
“You crazy guy. “Did you go take a shit and save the country?”
“···ha ha ha. Sorry. No, seriously, it keeps coming up. “I thought I was going to die.”
“shut up. “I was really behind.”
“what?”
Daeyoung Kim tilts his head. Soon, Kang Woo-jin let out a long sigh and let go of his collar.
“Ha-that’s it. “Anyway, what about the preliminaries?”
“Oh, I did it. ah! But did you go in instead of me??”
“why.”
“No, the judges just asked you? “He said, ‘What are you doing?’
Here, Kang Woo-jin, who was reminded of the shame from earlier, quickly changed his words.
“Tsk, nothing special happened. So, did you pass?”
“no? 15 second cut of acting. “Out right away.”
“Congratulations, you idiot.”
“What happened? I didn’t have much expectations anyway. By the way, have you seen Hong Hye-yeon? Did you see it? “Isn’t it coming?”
When the name of the top actress came up, Kang Woo-jin’s face was filled with sincerity.
“I thought it was an angel. No, he is an angel.”
“How can someone be so pretty? “It was the first time I was criticized for being pretty.”
“I admit it. When will we ever see Hong Hye-yeon so close in our lifetime? “We even had a conversation.”
“I will never see it again, but I will remember it for the rest of my life.”
“uh. “Seeing Hong Hye-yeon today was okay, but everything else was trash.”
Then.
-Sigh.
Kang Woo-jin saw a piece of paper stuck to Kim Dae-young’s side. The three-page script I saw earlier. He looked down at the script and suddenly held out his hand.
“Hey, give me a copy of that script.”
“uh? Ah, uh-uh.”
The page script in Daeyoung Kim’s hand was just a page script. There wasn’t much difference. However, as soon as the script fell into Kang Woo-jin’s hands, the situation changed.
‘Ah-damn.’
Because a black square that wasn’t there appeared next to the page script. A whirlwind of gray and black. It looked like a shadow of a page script.
‘I’m going crazy, really.’
Whatever it was, the black square appeared as before. In other words, if you touch this with your index finger, you will be sucked into that damn space. But I don’t think so now.
-Palak.
Kang Woo-jin, with a calm face, unfolded the page script. To be honest, it was my first time reading it. And as soon as he read the first line of the script, Woojin was convinced.
‘also. It’s the same as what I experienced.’
The content of the script and Kang Woo-jin’s experience in the mountains were the same.
A frightened man wearing a brown windbreaker, a strange man whose emotions, feelings, and appearance are unclear, in the mountains, rustling fallen leaves, a gloomy wind, being stabbed by something, the frightened man screaming, praying for his hands to become feet, being stabbed again, etc.
‘I chose to be a scared man or something, didn’t I? So, as a result – the role and situation in the script becomes mine…’
Who would believe this crazy nonsense? But Woojin was sure. So for now.
‘I need to check a few things.’
I had to experiment with what came to mind. Then you can decide whether to ignore it or not.
soon.
“hey.”
Kang Woo-jin turned his head and asked Kim Dae-young, who was looking at him strangely.
“Was it your house in Pangyo?”
“uh. “Why are you suddenly at home?”
“Do you have any scripts at home? If possible, latest. “The type doesn’t matter.”
“······It has to exist. Because they come here one way or another. But why the script all of a sudden? “He’s someone who doesn’t even watch TV very often.”
“That’s it.”
Woojin took out his cell phone and opened the taxi app.
“Let’s go home, right now.”
About two hours later. Kim Dae-young’s house.
The sturdy Kim Dae-young lived with his parents in an apartment near Pangyo Station. However, his parents were not there right now, and Woojin entered Kim Daeyoung’s room right away.
Kang Woo-jin immediately frowns.
“Wow, you bastard, do you poop in your sleep? “What is this stinky smell?”
Because there was a musty smell. However, Daeyoung Kim shrugged her shoulders as if it was no big deal.
“Men’s rooms are usually like this. “Your fragrant house is abnormal.”
“It’s a bountiful harvest. “Hey, give me some ventilation.”
A window that opens immediately. Next, Kang Woo-jin extended his hand to Kim Dae-young.
“What about the script?”
“Ah, wait a minute. “Here’s the one I received recently – and the one I saw is here.”
Soon, Daeyoung Kim started digging through the bookshelf. Woojin looked at it a little pathetically, and it was three minutes later that Daeyoung Kim showed him the script.
“found. Two drama scripts and one movie scenario. “Is it okay to have three?”
“uh.”
Two neat book scripts and a movie screenplay that is a bundle of paper. A total of three were held in Kang Woo-jin’s hands. and.
‘As expected, it’s like this.’
A black square appeared next to the two scripts and scenarios. Only the size is slightly different. Anyway, Woojin finished the first check here and let out a long sigh.
“after-”
I checked the current time. 11:41 am. Behind him, Woojin stretched out his slightly trembling index finger. Then Kim Dae-young, who was sitting in front of him, burst into laughter.
“Did it turn? Is it ET? “What are you doing?”
Kang Woo-jin answered his friend with a very serious expression.
“Take a good look at me. okay?”
“You’re watching.”
This moment.
-Poof!
Woojin’s index finger strongly stabbed the black square that was one of the book scripts. OK.
“Tsk!”
Subspace pulled Kang Woo-jin in with the feeling of his whole body becoming hot, and Woo-jin, who felt an ambiguous sensation for a moment, laughed absurdly.
“Here we are again.”
Before he knew it, all he could see was an endless dark space. He entered again. In this space that I don’t even know what it is. The vague feeling of floating was the same.
but.
“see-”
Perhaps because he had already experienced it once, Woojin was quite calm now. Do you feel like you have some free time? Still, the fear and fear still remained. But Kang Woo-jin had to control his heart.
-Sigh.
I turned around and checked the back. As expected, it was there. A white square floating about chest height. The funny thing is.
“It has increased?”
There was something different from before. There are two white squares instead of one.
in other words.
“It looks like this is being added all the time.”
This meant that the number increased as new scripts or scenarios were learned. I haven’t checked it up close yet, but it was obvious that the second white square was the book script that Kang Woo-jin had touched just before.
However, Woojin did not approach the floating white square.
“Then for now.”
Because other experiments came first.
“Get out!”
I cried out loud, but there was no change.
“out! log out! outside!”
Afterwards, Kang Woo-jin shouts out other words with similar meanings.
“Go back! hey! female! Let me out! Turn it off!”
Five minutes passed like that.
At this time.
“Oh-san! “Exit!!”
After saying the words “exit,” Kang Woo-jin was covered in gray. It was a quick moment.
“Sigh!”
Thanks to this, he let out a groan without even realizing it. Soon, Kim Dae-young’s voice was heard in Woojin’s ears.
“hey! What is it all of a sudden? Are you okay?”
Woojin slowly turned his head and saw the sturdy Daeyoung Kim. Returning to his room. Although I was a bit dazed, I definitely came out of that subspace.
In this case, there was only one answer.
‘Exit. That’s the command that comes out.’
Woojin immediately checked the current time. 11:41 am. It was like entering that damn space.
‘I was there for about five minutes. But time remains the same.’
When you enter a subspace of inestimable size, external time stops. Or go several times late. Woojin, who gave an appropriate answer, asked Daeyoung Kim.
“How was I just now?”
“what? “You just trembled with your index finger like ET, right?”
“Next time.”
“He paused for a moment and suddenly gasped. Hey, are you really okay?”
Kang Woo-jin rubbed his chin at his friend’s reaction.
“This is fun, this. Then next time-”
It was when Woojin opened his index finger again.
-Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
Daeyoung Kim’s cell phone, which was placed on the desk, vibrated for a long time. Thanks to that, he looked at Woojin with concern and picked up his cell phone.
“Yes, hello.”
Soon, Daeyoung Kim, who was talking on the phone with someone, made eye contact with Woojin who was sitting in front of him.
“Yes yes yes, ah! yes? Ah, yes. Wait. “It’s in front now.”
After finishing speaking, Daeyoung Kim pushed the cell phone to Woojin. Whispering softly.
“‘Super Actor’ PD, you want me to change something?”
It’s Kang Woo-jin who frowns. Anyway, I handed over my cell phone.
“yes.”
A slightly flushed female voice was heard over the phone.
“Mr. Kang Woo-jin?? Wow, I was surprised that you slurped away so suddenly!”
As soon as he heard her voice, Kang Woo-jin’s strength and bravado came into play again. The shame from earlier had subsided and she raised her head.
“No, whatever. yes.”
“Hey, Mr. Woojin? Are you interested in appearing on ‘Super Actor’ again?”
“why?”
“You passed! Passed in the first round! I think it would be great if you could appear in the second preliminary round! The story is good, I followed my friend and actually passed the test? “It’s fun, right?”
Are you going to make me a laughing stock? You’re talking bullshit. Kang Woo-jin answered lowly and heavily to the excited PD over the phone. Because maintaining the concept is important.
“I don’t like it.”
Strong Chuck also added an excuse to neutralize the shame in his passive.
“It was just a way to kill time anyway.”
The implication was that it was just something I did to kill time, so please forget about it. However, the ‘super actor’ PD behind the phone seemed to take it in a different direction.
“That acting… was just a way to kill time?”
