Overwhelmed (6)

 

The female producer of ‘Clierot’ who has longer hair than short hair and has a strong impression.

“······It doesn’t seem like there’s anything to worry about at all.”

At the words spoken by the woman sitting across from Kang Woo-jin.

“As you know, Woojin may be excluded as a candidate from this preliminary meeting. “Do you have any regrets?”

In Kang Woo-jin’s cynical mind, just for a moment.

“······”

The rating of the movie ‘Clierot’ passed.

-[11/Scenario (Title: Clown), EX+ level]

It was at EX+ level. Even in that incredible sub-space, it is the highest level. Woojin, who seemed calm on the outside, let out a cry full of sincerity on the inside.

‘You won’t regret it??! If you miss it, you will regret it terribly! ‘Did you call that a question and fall asleep?!’

To be honest, Kang Woo-jin was someone who wanted to just scream out loud in his heart. But he shouldn’t have anything frivolous about him now. Above all, it was after hitting it off with Hollywood’s top tier 1 actor, Chris Hartnett. Since the ‘Fuck My Way’ image had been established, an even stronger concept had to be shown.

‘H-I don’t know, Mr. Just go straight. Even if I drop it, the EX+ level may come out someday.’

It might not come out. However, Kang Woo-jin had a stronghold. There is also EX level ‘Beast and Beauty’ and Joseph Felton, although I haven’t received the script yet. And at least it’s still been two years. Although the third year is just around the corner, there is a lot of time and the possibilities are endless.

‘grandfather. No, I’m a bit of a dick to Director Ahn.’

Concept quality was the core of Kang Woo-jin’s core. Woojin is the female producer who made the decision. She answered coldly in English to the seven members of her team who were clearly ‘clowns’ staring at her. The answer to the question, ‘Will you have any regrets?’

“It doesn’t matter to me, but the ‘clown’ will regret it.”

There is no reverse or left or right turn. It was just straight. At this, the pupil of Choi Seong-gun, who was sitting next to Woojin, shook slightly. He glanced at Kang Woo-jin.

‘Hey, dude! Aren’t you shouting too much??!!’

For Choi Seong-gun, it was entirely worth it. Although his English is not perfect, even if he listened to it moderately, Kang Woo-jin’s answer far exceeded expectations. At the pre-meeting before I even auditioned, I just gave it a whirl.

Although Choi Seong-geon did not know Woojin’s personality.

‘The incident with Chris Hartnett may also be rumored, but if we continue to be this dirty – is Woojin’s image in Hollywood okay?!’

I couldn’t help but be worried. What was embarrassing was that other than him, the other ‘clown’ characters in this conference room were all with their mouths slightly open.

‘Beep, does the clown regret it?? Are you talking about us…?’

‘If we lose you, will we regret it? her-‘

This was true for female producers and male caddies, but it was especially severe for executives at Columbia Studios. All of them have been in the vast world of Hollywood for dozens or even decades, but they have experienced an incredible amount of Hollywood and other actors.

‘Is it ours to regret? ‘What an absurd character!’

Because it was my first time seeing the ‘arrogant monster’ in front of me.

After a while.

After completing the preliminary meeting for about an hour, Kang Woo-jin and Choi Seong-geon left the conference room. After Woojin’s ‘Nopaku’, there was a fairly smooth exchange of questions and answers. For your information, it was Kang Woo-jin who controlled the meeting, and the strange expressions on the faces of ‘Columbia Studio’ executives did not disappear until the end.

Well, I guess the fresh shock I received from Woojin didn’t go away.

Kang Woo-jin, who maintained a firm concept throughout the meeting, immediately left the conference room.

‘Yeah, it looks like it’s ruined. Tsk! Just eat comfortably.’

Rather, it became calmer. What can I say, have I reached the state of liberation? Around this time, foreigners passing by Kang Woo-jin walking down the hallway glanced at him. He seemed 100% like a Columbia Studios guy, who probably saw or heard about the incident with Chris Hartnett. Choi Seong-geon followed closely behind Woo-jin, who completely ignored him.

“W-Woojin.”

Kang Woo-jin, standing in front of the elevator, lowered his voice.

“Yes, CEO.”

“What is it?”

Choi Seong-geon hushed his voice as he pressed the elevator button to go down.

“There is still ‘World Disney Pictures’ and Joseph’s ‘Universal Movies’ – but isn’t that too much?”

“Did you?”

“Dude, honestly, I was a little scared. There are already rumors going around about him being Chris Hartnett, but won’t this meeting further aggravate it? If your image is too strong from the start… there’s a chance that Hollywood will avoid you. “I feel like there are so many alternative systems and the atmosphere itself is nothing to be disappointed about.”

Woojin looked at Choi Seong-geon for a moment and nodded. Of course, inside. But what can you do? What has already happened. Kang Woo-jin, who was in the elevator, spoke casually.

“It doesn’t really matter. “I have nothing to regret either.”

“That’s true.”

“It would be better to know myself clearly from the beginning.”

“hmm-”

“Hollywood is big.”

“On the other hand, we will also have many substitutes?”

“Yes, so I’m not obsessed with being a ‘clown.’”

Choi Seong-geon laughed, as if he thought it was amazing again.

“Okay, okay. Wow, that’s like you. I guess I was too scared. But honestly, it was okay to keep the meeting quiet, right? “Is there any other reason why you went so rough?”

Kang Woo-jin answered simply.

“Strangely, the way they spoke from above was annoying.”

after.

Kang Woo-jin left the building and got into the van again. Whether it was a failure or not, the preliminary meeting was over and all that was left was to wait for a call from ‘Columbia Studio’.

Of course, you may fail.

What can I do? Kang Woo-jin, with his poker face, lightened his worries and picked up his cell phone. There are a lot of accumulated contacts. However, Woojin accessed the Internet before the accumulated contacts.

at the same time.

“W-Woojin.”

Choi Seong-geon, the ponytail sitting on the right, spoke.

“It’s about what happened with Chris Hartnett earlier. Maybe there could be a rumor going around. Even if you didn’t know his name, Chris is very famous here.”

Kang Woo-jin answered calmly.

“No problem.”

“Yes, yes, I know you will. “Just know.”

Woojin nodded.

‘Well, that’s such a big deal.’

I lowered my gaze to my phone again.

Unlike LA, where it was the afternoon of the 6th, in Korea it was the morning of the 7th. December had already begun, and the smell of the end of the year was in the air not only in the domestic entertainment industry but everywhere else.

While many issues are flooding in.

『[Film Festival] Just before the ‘Blue Dragon Film Festival’, two films that exceeded 20 million this year, ‘Island of the Missing’ and ‘Leech’… Difficult Choices』

Of course, news from Kang Woo-jin was also included.

『Kang Woo-jin, as soon as he arrived in LA, there was no news… SNS was also temporarily suspended』

Meanwhile, the one that was showing strength as expected was ‘Beneficial Evil’, which was cranked up two days ago.

『[Issue Talk] Finished filming Part 1 of ‘Beneficial Evil’ starring ‘Kang Woo-jin’, ‘Miley Kara’, etc.!』

By the time Kang Woo-jin was on his way to LA, ‘Beneficial Evil’, which had finished filming Part 1, announced to the entire country that filming had been completed through various channels.

Since ‘beneficial evil’ was already a hot topic, news of the crank-up quickly spread on the Internet. This is Korea’s first film aimed at the world, backed by Netflix. In addition, several articles included an interview with producer Song Man-woo, the main director of ‘Such Evil’.

『Crank Up ‘Beneficial Evil’, Producer Song Man-woo “To increase speed, filming and editing will be carried out in parallel, scheduled to be launched early next year”』

『[Style Issue] Can we see a two-shot of ‘Kang Woo-jin’ and ‘Miley Kara’ early next year? ‘Explosion of public expectations’

Thanks to this, it became even more of a hot topic.

Accordingly, mentions of ‘beneficial evil’ have increased sharply through SNS and communities. Due to the uproar caused by Kara’s appearance, her body size had to increase several times, and following the press, Kang Woo-jin and others were excitedly consumed in various venues around late morning.

It seemed as if this was the right time.

『Netflix Korea: “‘Beneficial Evil’ teaser to be released soon, release schedule scheduled for January-February”』

Netflix took the lead. In addition, Netflix gradually released information about ‘beneficial evil’ to the world. The first thing released was a character introduction video featuring Kang Woo-jin as the main character. Of course, Miley Kara was included, and the video, which was released on YouTube channels and SNS, quickly gained a huge number of views. It received hundreds of views in just 3 hours after uploading.

Of course, it was not completed through domestic efforts. A lot of people from overseas came and went. The various languages ​​seen in the huge number of comments were proof of this.

As expected, even though Kang Woo-jin is not in Korea, his power is still strong.

And, in theaters across the country in Japan, Korea’s ‘Leech’ was featured as the main poster, and in Korea as well, all movie theaters featured the Japanese ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’ poster.

『No. 1 in advance reservation rates for ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’ and ‘Leech’, which were sold separately in Korea and Japan!』

This meant that advance reservations had begun.

The morning of the 7th. L.A.

A meeting was in full swing in an office on the middle floor of a tall building in the city center where numerous buildings lined up.

There are six foreigners sitting at a L-shaped desk.

Among them, at the head table was a familiar, large black man. It was the giant Joseph Felton who was handling the current meeting. He is dressed in a neat suit, as if he has other plans this afternoon.

“Well, okay. “I think I can talk to ‘Universal Movies’ with this feeling.”

I was in the middle of organizing matters related to the works I was in charge of producing. For your information, a producer of the level of Joseph Felton, who is famous in Hollywood, does not manage only one project. When production of any work begins, you form a team and entrust them with a certain amount of work, but there are bound to be gaps.

During that time, I select a work I like and produce it at the same time.

Of course, the present Joseph was also the same.

However, what has really caught Joseph’s attention recently has been the work he is doing with ‘Universal Movies’, one of Hollywood’s ‘Big Five’, and caddy Megan Stone. Kara and big Hollywood directors Danny Landis and Kang Woo-jin are undecided, but even if their contracts slip, they can’t stop what they’re doing.

Well, of course, the number one priority is to somehow recruit Kang Woo-jin.

Currently, a screenwriter has been confirmed and work on the scenario is in full swing.

“It’s about time something came out. “He is a quick writer, so even if it was difficult to get to the first draft, he would have created a treatment and material that summarizes the entire story.”

“Yes, I will check right away.”

“Even if it’s just treatment, say you’re going to get it.”

It was at this time.

-Sigh.

Another foreigner entered the fairly spacious office. Bald man. A very familiar face. It was Joseph’s subordinate, Robert, who was his right-hand man. As soon as he saw him, Joseph immediately asked:

“Robert, did you handle the task well?”

“yes. It was well communicated to the staff. Rather, Joseph.”

Robert, who had a very serious face, approached Joseph, who was sitting, and slightly muffled his voice.

“There are interesting rumors going around about ‘Columbia Studios.’”

“Ah- ‘Columbia Studios’? There was already a lot of noise about the production of a new movie. The hiring of director Ga-bok Ang was also refreshing. “What is this rumor?”

“It may seem like a twist, but Chris Hartnett got into a fight with an Asian actor in front of the ‘Columbia Studios’ headquarters.”

Joseph, who had been looking down at his tablet, narrowed his eyes and raised his head.

“hmm? Chris? “Even though he has a firm personality, he’s not the type to cause unnecessary trouble – he definitely seems a bit confused.”

“A moderate argument ensued and the Asian actor reportedly asked Chris’ name.”

“Haha, fun. Did you ask Chris’ name? That was intentional. It looks like Chris got a real kick out of it. But Chris went to ‘Columbia Studios’ at this time – was he nominated for the male lead in director Gabok Ang’s work?”

“I guess.”

“I need to update my information. By the way, if the rumors are true, that Asian actor is pretty strong, right? You mean that such an incident took place in Hollywood, in the front yard of Columbia Studios? Where do you learn? china?”

Robert shook his head and his voice became quieter.

“It looks like Kang Woo-jin.”

At that moment, Joseph stopped moving and his eyes widened.

“uh?”

I got up and strongly asked back.

“what? Kang Woo-jin??!”

The rumor was faster than expected.
