Prestige (4)

 

The statement that Kang Woo-jin declared to hundreds of reporters.

“That’s right, Miley Cara, the blonde woman in the photo from the ‘Beneficial Evil’ Bangkok filming location.”

Before these words were uttered, or even at that moment, Miley Kara was very strong in Hollywood and overseas.

-【alcoholism (feat. WooJin)】｜Miley Cara

-560 million views

Her new music video, which is firmly sweeping the Billboard charts, has surpassed 500 million views, so her song resonates everywhere in the world. In other words, Kang Woo-jin’s overseas recognition of her is also high.

However, foreign media outlets are covering the impact of Kara’s new album.

『CNM/Miley Kara, ranks in the top 10, including No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100! First time in 64-year chart history!

Strangely enough, I was burning up about something else.

『LA TIME/Rumors are growing louder, Miley Kara, who is said to appear in a Korean work (Good Evil), is silent』

『A controversial photo showing BBX/Kang Woo-jin! ‘Is Miley Kara really appearing in the Korean work ‘Beneficial Evil’?

Miley Kara appears in a Korean production. Of course, this issue had already spread widely throughout Hollywood, and now photos of what appeared to be Kara on the set of ‘Beneficial Evil’ were all over social media.

But Miley Cara kept her mouth shut.

Thanks to this, the issue was aggravated.

Miley Cara is already a global superstar, her new album was a huge hit, and the lead role in the work ‘Beneficial Evil’ was ‘Man of Cannes’ Kang Woo-jin. Because there were so many attractive keywords, foreign media created their own scripts and mass-produced articles.

However, except for the excited foreign media, most of Hollywood did not believe this at all.

“Miley Cara appearing in a Korean production? “How dare you write an article about such trash!”

“But when I read it, it seemed like there was some evidence and circumstances, right?”

“That’s bullshit! Even here in Hollywood, they are trying hard to catch her, so why would they have filmed her Korean work while ignoring her enormous ransom?”

“It doesn’t really make sense.”

Various film companies, broadcasting stations, agencies, etc. There wasn’t a person in Hollywood who didn’t know Miley Cara, and most of them dismissed her foreign media coverage as lies.

Miley Cara’s fans, distributed all over the world, were the same.

-Damn you reporters! Stop writing false articles!!

-I’m looking forward to Miley doing Korean work, but maybe this article is just a rumor, right?

-There is no reason for her to film a Korean work without foreshadowing, but is there a reason why the work titled Beneficial Evil was selected?

-This is a work that Kang Woo-jin is filming! A photo from the shoot was leaked and it says the blonde girl is Miley, but I think that’s probably not the case.

-Kang Woojin? The Korean actor who was with Miley at Cannes this time? I remember him saying he was aiming for an Academy Award.

-Why is this absurd news spreading? If she filmed her Korean work I’d walk down the street with her in her panties

– Don’t get excited, it’s just a false article that has always been there.

One thing is certain, although I don’t believe in this issue, the international recognition of ‘Kang Woo-jin’ and ‘Beneficial Evil’ is rapidly increasing. The situation was no different in Korea, where the news was released before Hollywood.

-The media is blaming you lol Miley Kara should stop worrying lol

-Yeah~ Next joke~

-Isn’t this theory intentionally leaked by the evil side???

-Miley Cara is so fucking pissed lol.

It was treated like common trash.

This dragged on for at least two weeks.

Moreover, Miley Kara’s side, Kang Woo-jin, and ‘Beneficial Evil’ side did not provide any answer. Thanks to this, foreign and domestic media were excited about the aggro, but it was only superficial, and many public opinion, including overseas, did not trust it. It’s probably just a rumor based on stimulation. It must be a happening. It must be nonsense or bullshit, etc.

No one believed it.

Well, the issue itself sold well. This was because the keywords included were so hot. No, how can you tolerate the fact that Miley Cara, the world-famous superstar who currently dominates the Billboard charts, appears in a Korean work? Therefore, interest from domestic media and public opinion was expected.

It was even more so since ‘King of Issues’ Kang Woo-jin was the male lead and ‘Beneficial Evil’.

however.

“We have already finished filming Miley Cara’s part.”

In response to the question asked without much thought by hundreds of reporters, Woojin, who had been indifferent throughout his appearance, suddenly dropped a bombshell. So all the reporters were left dumbfounded.

“Eh?”

“······uh?”

“Bah, what did you just say?”

“You’re saying it’s Miley Cara??”

I was so embarrassed that the non-stop flash barrage stopped for a moment. Either way, Kang Woo-jin’s serious-faced answer was the same.

“yes. Miley Cara appears in ‘Beneficial Evil.’”

It was a comment that would shake up KARA fans in Korea and even around the world, but Kang Woo-jin was very calm. On the other hand, hundreds of reporters whose thoughts stopped for a short moment.

“Was it real??!!”

“Ma, does that make sense?!”

“Wait! Woojin Kang! “You’re not kidding, right???”

“If that’s true- t-t, it’s a scoop!”

“her!! That Miley Cara is really appearing in ‘Beneficial Evil’???”

“······No, really?? why??!”

It has degenerated into a form similar to Mt. Hornbibaeksan. While shouting a question to Kang Woo-jin with a face that made me wonder if this was a dream or reality, I instinctively took a picture of Woo-jin standing right in front of me with my camera.

-Pababababak!

The flash barrage that stopped suddenly exploded like crazy enough to turn Kang Woo-jin’s face white.

“Woah, Mr. Woojin!! Miley Cara appears in ‘Beneficial Evil’!! no! “How much is it?”

“When was the casting confirmed!!”

“Aside from Bangkok, did Kara film in Korea too?!”

“What role does Miley Cara play in the production?”

“This is the first time that a big Hollywood star has appeared in a Korean work!! “What prompted her to appear?”

“Was it top secret?!! Why did you keep quiet until now and then announce it now!! Mr. Woojin!!”

Hundreds of reporters showing a stark change in attitude. Unlike a few minutes ago, they all looked like drooling hyenas.

“······”

Kang Woo-jin was quietly looking at them.

‘Wow, see how his attitude has completely changed? ‘That’s fun.’

Moreover, I lowered my voice and typed out the predetermined message.

“More details will be presented in the ‘Beneficial Evil’ section. then.”

Lack sometimes makes people anxious. Kang Woo-jin, aiming for that, walked towards the party, leaving hundreds of reporters behind. However, the half-crazed reporters called out his name.

“ah! ah!!! Woojin!! “Please tell me a little more!!”

“Just one more word!!”

“Woojin!! Mr. Kang Woo-jin!”

However, Kang Woo-jin, who had already made up his mind, did not turn around even once, and the hundreds of reporters who were gathered quickly changed their minds. The scoop came directly from the mouth of that ‘monster’.

“This is not the time!!”

Now was the time to act.

-Sigh.

Suddenly, most of the hundreds of reporters took out their cameras and cell phones. And then, as if he had made a plan, he dialed the phone somewhere else.

“Editor-in-chief! Scoop! Scoop!!”

“no no!! It’s not like I just drank during the day!! Oh-ssi! “Just start with the article!”

“Oh! It’s real!! Kang Woo-jin just said it himself! “Just write down the content and throw the article first!!”

“ah!! 100%, 100%!! It’s true that ‘Miley Cara’ will appear in ‘Beneficial Evil’!!”

Because I had to announce this scoop to the world faster than anyone else.

This time.

A man with a friendly face who had just left ‘Oullim Film Company’, which produced ‘Island of the Missing’, entered the parking lot. It was director Kwon Ki-taek. Even though he had just heard the ‘Leech’s’ crazy results, his expression was calm. On the contrary, the employees working with him were different.

“Whew, this feels really weird.”

“Iknow, right. “It’s right to congratulate Director Ahn, but isn’t it a bit disappointing for us?”

‘Leech’, which promoted the nation’s prestige tremendously and came after ‘Island of the Missing’, is so great that it deserves a thumbs up, but on the other hand, it was not desirable to give it the first place among Korean films of all time. Well, it was a natural feeling for any human being.

“It’s 20 million, 20 million. “It is unusual even in Korea, and the number of viewers reached 20 million, which may or may not continue in the future, but it is absurd that the first place does not last even a year.”

To be clear, it has been less than half a year. At this time, Director Kwon Ki-taek, who was listening silently, smiled kindly.

“Is there anything special about going up?”

“yes?”

“As time has passed, it is natural for that friend to grow up. It is a world of difference from when ‘Island of the Missing’ was actually released.”

“······Ah, you mean Kang Woo-jin.”

“okay.”

Director Kwon Ki-taek, crossing his arms, recalled Woojin’s calm face.

“‘Island of the Missing’ also relies a lot on Woojin’s brand power, but since it has become several times more powerful than before, it is natural for ‘Leech’ to overtake us.”

“Yes, of course.”

“Furthermore, after watching ‘Leech,’ even Mr. Woojin’s acting skills developed further. “What kind of work can survive when such a monster continues to rage?”

Soon, Director Kwon Ki-taek’s smile deepened.

“Anyway, it must be considered certain that Woojin ranks first and second in Korean movies of all time. What’s funny is that even though he has been shaking up the history of the Korean film industry since his appearance, Woojin doesn’t really care. I guess this was the plan from the beginning. “I achieved that without any hesitation.”

Director Kwon Ki-taek mutters quietly to himself.

“I’ve already stopped worrying, that friend Kang Woo-jin is probably thinking about the next thing.”

The ‘Leech’ side, which is currently in trouble, has made an official announcement.

『[Official] Announcement of confirmation of overseas release of ‘Leech’, which is a box office hit…Starting from Japan, release confirmed in Japan on Thursday, December 23rd before Christmas!』

News that it will be released in other countries beyond Korea. Japan stood out. Because the release date was next month. At this time, an article similar to ‘Leech’ appeared in Japan as if by design.

『「Familiar Gisaeng」 will also be released in Korea, opening date is December 21st』

News about the Korean release of ‘Familiar Gisaeng’.

In December, the last month of the year, paintings of ‘leeches’ and ‘unfamiliar parasites’ touching the baton will be produced.

『[Issue Talk] Korea’s ‘Leech’ will be released in Japan on December 23rd, and Japan’s ‘Familiar Gisaeng’ will be released in Korea on December 21st?』

Even this time, it was around the same time.

Meanwhile. L.A.

While it was morning in Korea, it was late afternoon in LA. Similar to the news about Kang Woo-jin spreading across Korea and Japan, the news about Kang Woo-jin was also spreading to a huge amusement park in LA.

No, not an amusement park

It was from Columbia Studios, a very large film company. Among the team preparing for the movie ‘Cierrot,’ foreigners who appeared to be executives were checking articles in the meeting room.

『ABY/’Columbia Studios’ announces plans to produce a huge new movie! Director and actor?』

This was announced to Hollywood about yesterday. The story is that ‘Columbia Studios’ has begun production of a very large film. These are things that distribution and film companies usually throw out for publicity purposes, just as they announce when they start a work. However, because Columbia Studios’ position in Hollywood was so enormous, the aggro was quickly spreading like wildfire.

Foreign executives who were watching foreign news articles on their laptops muttered one word at a time.

“Um, isn’t it a bit lacking? “You better use more strength.”

“Anyway, what is this absurd actor lineup? “I don’t know where it started.”

“It would be best to get the information related to the confirmed actor test out as soon as possible.”

Did about 30 minutes pass like that?

At this time.

-Squeak.

A person was added to the crowded meeting room. A foreigner with a bald head and glasses. Director Ga-bok Ahn was the executive I talked to the most during the meeting.

“I’m a little late because I was talking on the phone with Director Angabok.”

As soon as he entered the meeting room, he spoke to the ‘clown’ staff.

“Director Ahn Ga-bok delivered the scenario to Kang Woo-jin, and Kang Woo-jin confirmed it and responded right away.”

“Oh-did you respond so quickly? It’s first place. So what is the answer?”

“I will.”

‘Columbia Studio’ executives smiled after hearing the answer.

“I need to contact Kang Woo-jin first.”

“Let’s get to work right away.”

This moment.

“huh?”

A foreigner looked at his laptop and tilted his head. Then he turned the laptop around and showed the screen to everyone. A different article from ‘Cierrot’ was being printed.

It felt like a hot article that had just appeared.

“Do you think it’s true that Miley Cara will appear in a Korean production???”
