Overwhelmed (3)

 

Kang Woo-jin came out of the arrival hall. As he left the airport lobby, dozens of foreigners began to flock to him. It was an sudden situation. It was quiet when Woojin appeared.

“hello! That’s the Korean actor, right? “I saw it in the article!”

“That’s right! “The actress who appeared in Miley Kara’s music video!”

“I heard you play the piano well!”

“who is this? who?”

“He’s a Korean actor who’s been featured quite often in articles these days!”

“uh? okay?”

“sign! “Please give me an autograph!”

Although it was not crowded, it was large enough to attract the attention of many people at LAX Airport. Dozens of foreigners pointed their cell phones at Woojin. Thanks to this, the hands of big guards are busy.

“Sorry, I’ll just pass by.”

The strange trend quickly spread to the airport lobby, and curious foreigners were added in real time, whether they knew Kang Woo-jin or not. Woojin, who had a cynical expression on his face, was calm.

‘W-What??! ‘What is this all of a sudden?’

I was a little surprised inside. I understand it’s just one or two, but there were so many onlookers all of a sudden.

Well, it wasn’t a strange picture. Miley Kara’s new album featuring Kang Woo-jin has become a huge hit, and the title song’s music video has already easily surpassed hundreds of millions of views. In addition, Woojin’s article was widely spread in Hollywood regarding his acceptance speech at the Cannes Film Festival, Miley Cara, and ‘Beneficial Evil’. Even if he is not a famous actor, he is at least a hot topic.

Additionally, there may be fans of ‘Kang Woo-jin’s alt.’

anyway.

“Hurry to the car!”

Behind Seong-geon Choi’s shout, Woo-jin Kang and his team managed to get into the waiting van. Even though the car doors were closed, foreigners gathered in the airport lobby were busy taking pictures. Kang Woo-jin looks at it with wonder. Of course, although there was no change in his facial expression, he was impressed on the inside.

‘I was surprised when he rushed in all of a sudden – Wow, what a surprise.’

The vans leave just like that. Although it was only for a moment, it was quite noisy, so Choi Seong-geon, who was sitting on the right side of Woojin, let out a small sigh of relief.

“Wow – there was a bit of a bite from the beginning. It was quiet, but I was shocked when they suddenly barged in. Woojin, are you okay?”

“Yes, I have no problem.”

“Hehe, by the way, if this is the case with a few issues… it would be worth watching if you entered Hollywood as a true character, right?”

The staff around Woojin made a fuss as if they agreed. Even though it was on the inside, Kang Woo-jin was also surprised. How amazing are they? I’ve been coming and going from LA since ‘Our Table’, but this was my first time doing something like this, so I was even more excited. It took several tens of minutes for the atmosphere to calm down.

The cars carrying Woojin were currently traveling on a road slightly outside the city center.

-Boo!

Gradually, the crowded buildings, cars on the roads, and even people walking on the sidewalks decreased significantly. The scenery outside the window gives a quiet feeling.

yet.

-Squeak!

One by one, the moving vans stopped on the shoulder of the road. Soon, Choi Seong-gun followed the staff in the first car, and Kang Woo-jin got out last. Several foreigners jogging glanced at Woojin’s group. Anyway, Kang Woo-jin has a strong face.

“······”

I was staring straight ahead. Where he was looking, there was a two-story house with a proper yard, a parking lot, and a swimming pool in the back, showing off its stately appearance. Even if you look at it, the scale was quite large. Woojin just looked at the rather magnificent house in silence. The inside wasn’t that different from the outside.

‘······crazy. It really was there.’

Has it been about 10 seconds?

“Sleep, Woojin.”

Choi Seong-gun, who was talking with the employees, placed his hand on Kang Woo-jin’s shoulder.

“Should I go into your house? “Shouldn’t we become friends?”

The magnificent house was Woojin Kang’s LA home.

Meanwhile, Korea.

Unlike LA, where it was early in the morning, it was past midnight in Korea. Although it was late, the news that Kang Woo-jin had arrived in LA quickly spread through the domestic media.

『Kang Woo-jin, who left the country in great secrecy, arrived early in the morning LA time!』

『’Kang Woo-jin’ arrives at LA International Airport early in the morning, looks embarrassed as foreigners flock in/Photo』

The sight of an unexpected crowd of foreign onlookers was a bonus. Most of the articles included photos uploaded to social media, but they were enough to inform the domestic public of Kang Woo-jin’s appearance in LA.

Meanwhile, a large set complex in Yeoncheon is brightly lit.

It was the ‘Beneficial Evil’ team. As filming neared its end, producer Song Man-woo and the 100 or so staff members showed their power, which was close to frenzy.

“Next set!! Moving right to the next set!!”

“Let’s hurry to clean up after ourselves!”

“PD!! Please take a look at the set here!”

“Oh! Goes!”

The ‘Beneficial Evil’ filming set became increasingly heated as time went by.

“Cut!!! OK!! Ready for the next scene right away!”

“yep!! “Standby in 10 minutes!”

Producer Song Man-woo, the general manager, as well as all the staff moved in perfect order. What about the actors? I could even feel the spirit on my face. It wasn’t because I was nervous. It was a determination.

“Just a little more! “They’re all here!!”

“Let’s cheer up!!”

“5 minutes before standby!!”

Although it was early morning, the actors’ acting and PD Song Man-woo’s OK and cut signs were repeated on set. Normally, they would have stopped filming a long time ago and prepared for tomorrow, but the current ‘Beneficial Evil’ team didn’t seem to have any intention of doing so.

Time melts.

1 hour, 2 hours.

It was exactly around 2 am.

Of the hundred or so staff members, half looked inside the set and half stared at the back of PD Song Man-woo’s head. Producer Song Man-woo, with his beard, didn’t make any moves.

“······”

I quietly stared at the monitor. You can see half of your face in it. Beneath the boom microphone floating in the air, there are many actors wearing filming costumes and makeup. Lights and cameras installed around it. Among them, one camera moved slowly.

-Suuuuu.

From front to side. The actors exchanged short lines. Cut here. Action again. Go again with the same cut or composition.

The same lines from the actors sound again. The set was so quiet that the voices of the actors could be clearly heard by over 100 staff members, including producer Song Man-woo.

Has it been about 30 seconds?

“······after.”

Producer Song Man-woo let out a small sigh and looked away from the monitor. He looked at the actors on set, then raised his head and looked at the ceiling. He closed his eyes for a moment and the image of a monster actor who was not present on the scene but whose influence was still the same flashed in his mind. It was Kang Woo-jin.

Then he slowly brought his face back.

-Sure.

He slowly got up and shouted into the loudspeaker.

“Cut!! OOOK!!”

And then.

“Everyone worked hard! It’s not over yet, but good work! Please enjoy Part 2 as well!”

Producer Song Man-woo applauded while lowering the loudspeaker.

-Clap clap clap clap!

The actors on set greeted producer Song Man-woo.

“Thank you for your hard work, PD!”

“Thank you for your effort!!”

Soon, more than a hundred staff rushed to the scene as if they had been waiting.

“Woah!”

This is the moment filming for Part 1 of ‘Beneficial Evil’ ended.

LA on the 6th. Late morning.

A large agency in LA. A familiar female face appeared in the medium-sized meeting room of the agency, which occupies the entirety of a tall building. Miley Kara was wearing a simple black zip-up hoodie with her long blonde hair tied up. She was looking down at her cell phone with her characteristic cold face.

“······”

On either side of Kara were the main manager Jonathan and about four agency employees. Everyone looks at the tablet to see if they are waiting for someone or organizes transparent files.

at that time.

“hmm-”

Miley Kara, with her legs crossed, lowered her cell phone and chanted.

“Did Kang Woo-jin like the house?”

Jonathan, a large man with half-shaved hair who sat right next to her, was quick to answer.

“I heard you received a call from him?”

“I got it, but my voice didn’t look that good.”

“Kang Woo-jin is that kind of character. “He must have liked it, because he took care of the entire house before he came.”

“Should we have added more furniture than the basics?”

“Kang Woo-jin will take care of the arrangement.”

Jonathan shrugged his shoulders as he looked at Kara sighing slightly as if she was disappointed.

“Anyway, we’ll meet tomorrow for filming for YouTube or a talk show, so why not ask then?”

“Yeah, that’s probably true anyway.”

It was at this time.

-Sigh.

The glass door of the medium-sized meeting room opened and several foreigners entered. Appearance and age ranged from 30s to 50s, and the number of people was 5. When they appeared, her entire team, including Miley Kara, stood up and held out her hand.

A simple handshake and greeting.

After about 10 minutes, everyone was seated. Opposite of Kara, who was sitting in the center of her seat, a short but handsome foreign man smiled and opened the water.

“Miley, this is your first time since I saw you last year, right?”

Kara answered in a businesslike tone.

“I think so.”

“Haha, that last one was disappointing. “I really wanted to work with you, Miley.”

“But we met again sooner than expected? Are you taking on a new project?”

“that’s right. This time it’s ‘World Disney Pictures.’”

Kara flinched slightly at the movie ‘World Disney Pictures.’ Although it was not noticeable, her ears perked up. ‘World Disney Pictures’ had an influence that any Hollywood actor could focus on.

”World Disney Pictures’? Do you work there? I haven’t heard anything. Even through rumors.’

On the other hand, the men were more relaxed.

“Thankfully, World Disney Pictures gave me the job, so I’ve been working on it in earnest recently.”

From the nuance of what he said, he had a strong sense of a producer. He then spoke briefly with the people around him and placed the stack of paper he had brought on the desk.

“You’re probably busy, so let me get straight to the point. “This time, the work I am producing and producing is a live-action film from ‘World Disney Pictures.’”

“······Live-action film. “That means.”

“Yes, it is one of the representative animations of ‘World Disney Pictures’ and its title is ‘Beast and Beauty.’ Of course, it’s still being done in utmost secrecy.”

Kara’s blue eyes, sitting across from the male producer, slightly wavered.

“‘Beast and Beauty’?”

“yes.”

“You’re saying you’re making it live-action?”

“Yes, Miley, you did an interview in the past where you said you liked ‘Beast and Beauty’, right?”

“······that’s right.”

“Probably many people around the world other than you like the animation ‘Beast and Beauty,’ so I expect the news of this live-action film production to be quite loud.”

The male producer muttered, pushing the stack of paper on the desk toward Kara.

“Miley, I offer you the role of ‘Beauty Bella’ in ‘Beast and Beauty.’”

“······”

“Of course, there will be auditions and screen tests regarding casting, but please know that I was the first to offer you the role of ‘Beautiful Bella.’”

In short, the people across from Kara were part of the ‘Beast and Beauty’ team, and they had just pitched the female lead role in ‘Beast and Beauty’ to Miley Kara.

Kara looked down at the scenario in front of her for a moment, then raised her head and quietly asked the male producer.

“How many other candidates are there for the role of Yeoju?”

The male producer answered with a small smile.

“There are four people.”

They say there are a total of 5 candidates, including Kara. Among them, the first scenario was handed over to Kara. At this time, the male producer pushed her body slightly forward and spoke to Miley Kara.

“However, I am most greedy for you. “It’s almost similar to ‘Beautiful Bella.’”

At this moment, worries were swirling in Kara’s head.

Meanwhile, at the same time.

Around the time Miley Cara was meeting the ‘World Disney Pictures’ team, Kang Woo-jin had just arrived not far away. Inside the van, Kang Woo-jin looked quite formal, wearing a blazer.

‘Wow…so big??!’

Unlike his inner self, he was quiet on the outside. This was due to the scale of the film company, which was jaw-dropping. Just looking at the entrance his car had just passed through, it was like that. He was like the entrance to a huge castle. The film company’s name was proudly written in English on the tall building with an iron gate.

-‘Columbia Studio’

But the entrance was the pharmacy. Woojin’s eyes caught the vast scene unfolding in front of him. city? What can I say, the internal scale of ‘Columbia Studio’ is like a city. It truly deserved to be called one of Hollywood’s ‘Big Five’ film companies.

Woojin Kang entered ‘Columbia Studio’ for the first time.

‘Shiba is really scary! This is a movie history? It’s just a city. How can you tell this is a movie studio??’

Of course, it was for ‘clown’.
