Overwhelmed (11)

 

A surprised Miley Cara ruffles her blonde hair. Meanwhile, many thoughts crossed her mind. Kang Woo-jin was offered the role of the male lead for the first time in the history of ‘World Disney Pictures.’ ‘The Beast and Beauty’ has a huge fandom around the world.

‘And isn’t this the first time that the ‘Big Five’ film companies are rushing at one actor like this?’

It was also the same time. It was the first time that Kara, an ultra-level superstar in Hollywood, had seen this situation. Including Joseph, there are as many as three of the ‘Big Five’.

‘I’ve never even imagined something like this…’

At this point, the male actor standing next to Kara interrupted her thoughts. Even more so, with her voice muffled.

“I was curious because Kang Woo-jin was recently confirmed as a candidate for the male lead role in ‘Cierrot.’ It’s true that he achieved great results at Cannes, but it’s surprising that two of the ‘Big Five’ showed great interest in him. Above all, the role of ‘Beast’ is – right? Because the original work is so strong.”

“······”

“I can’t believe there are two Korean actors nominated for the male lead in this work. To be honest, this is my first time seeing it, and it seems like the film companies are acting to show a challenging image. Kang Woo-jin is faced with opportunities, so he feels like taking them first, right? “It may be unlikely, but if he passes both projects, he will have to give up one.”

No, not at all.

Miley Cara’s answer was the exact opposite.

‘Give up one? No way. If everything he says is true… Kang Woo-jin is planning to eat both works.’

In other words, Kara’s concerns regarding ‘The Beast and Beauty’ have become meaningless. At this time, the Hollywood male actor standing next to me spoke again.

“If they were using Kang Woo-jin as a publicity agent for ‘Cierrot’ or ‘Beast and Beauty,’ they would be successful. He is already hot among us, and the media and public opinion have become so noisy just because of ‘clown’, right? But once ‘The Beast and Beauty’ is announced, interest will explode.”

Kara, who was listening to the story, smiled, stroking her blonde hair.

“As expected, you seem to be soft-spoken. I saw you talking softly even though I wasn’t asked.”

It seems like male actors have a soft-spoken image to begin with. However, despite this, he was a top actor in Hollywood who also performed musicals. In terms of popularity, he was as good as Chris Hartnett. He narrowed his eyebrows and stuttered his words.

“Oh, no. “I just.”

“Anyway, you’re competing with Kang Woo-jin?”

Kara cut him off.

“If you approach it with the same mindset, you will be trampled on?”

“······what?”

“That’s pretty miserable too. I’m giving you advice as a friend. And be sparing with your words. “Because the person looks light.”

“you!”

“But it helps now.”

After finishing speaking, Kara left the male actor with an absurd face and moved his feet. Soon, she imagines Kang Woo-jin transformed into a ‘beast’. Her monstrous acting skills, goosebumps, musical talent, etc. Expectations suddenly increase.

Still, I thought.

‘I’m sad.’

It means that Kang Woo-jin is too much. Woojin doesn’t really care what others think. Also, he is very quiet. In general, information related to ‘The Beast and Beauty’ would have been top secret.

‘Can you give me a little hint??’

The team members who had dropped out joined her as she muttered to herself, “I’ll at least give you a tip.” Among them, Miley Cara spoke to Jonathan, the main manager with half-shaven hair.

“Tell ‘World Disney Pictures’ that you will do it.”

Around the afternoon of December 17th, Korea.

While Kang Woo-jin-related stories were all over the internet.

『[Star Talk] ‘Entering Hollywood’ Kang Woo-jin, scheduled to leave Hollywood early next year』

『Kang Woo-jin, challenges Hollywood to realize his ‘Cannes acceptance speech’! Foreign media also pay attention』

Since the morning, new issues have been appearing one after another.

『[Film Festival] The Blue Dragon Film Festival opens today at 6 PM! ‘Island of the Missing’, Kang Woo-jin of ‘Leech’ confirmed to attend』

It was the Blue Dragon Film Festival. The reason was simple. This year’s Blue Dragon Film Festival was scheduled to start in about an hour.

Many nuclear bombs have already exploded in the film industry this year. Additionally, several records were broken. Therefore, interest from the media, the entire Korean entertainment industry, and the public was higher than any other year.

『This year’s Blue Dragon seems to be a party for 20 million movies… How many trophies will Kang Woo-jin have following last year?』

The location is a large art center in Seoul.

There is already a long red carpet spread in front of the entrance to the large art center.

-Pabababak!

-Babababababaak!

A huge group of reporters were pressing the shutter like crazy. This is because the red carpet parade started a long time ago. Therefore, although many reporters were reporters, the screams of hundreds of onlookers surrounding them filled the area around the red carpet.

“Kyaaaa!!”

“Wow!! oh my god!!”

“The real thing is crazy! brother!! hello!”

“Please wave your hand!!”

Vans and vans arrived one after another, stars getting out of cars, and stars walking the red carpet showed off their style in suits, tuxedos, or fancy dresses. Every time that happened, my eyes were filled with flashes.

but.

“Wow, why don’t you come here??”

“I know. Are you sure it’s coming? “Aren’t you suddenly saying you’re going to LA and you’re not coming?”

“Seed. Then I’ll buy it.”

Hundreds of reporters seemed to be waiting for someone as they pressed the shutter button.

Who could it be?

“Kang Woo-jin is the key to this year’s film festivals. “If I can’t get even one photo, I’m really screwed.”

It was Kang Woo-jin.

It definitely had to be that way.

He swept the Rookie Award and Supporting Actor Award last year in his first year of debut, and it was obvious that he would set an even greater record this year. Even if he had taken a close look at the domestic entertainment industry, no one could raise a counterargument.

“How did Blue Dragon determine the superiority of ‘Island of the Missing’ and ‘Leech’?”

“Both of the legendary movies that exceeded 20 million views have Kang Woo-jin as the lead… This is a record that will never be broken.”

“An actor who made 20 million movies a year. “It’s absurd once again.”

“I’ve been doing this for three years now.”

It was at this time.

-Sigh.

A large black van arrived. Then, a large guard opened the car door. Soon, a black-haired actor wearing a white tuxedo got off.

“······”

It was Kang Woo-jin, whose face was filled with indifference. As soon as he got off.

-Bababababababak!!

-Bababababababak!!!

Flashes and various shouts and screams began to become rampant, enough to turn night into morning. Woojin, who has a deep sense of concept, was surprised to the point of being surprised.

‘Oh, sir, I’m surprised. ‘Are your ears ringing??’

At first glance, it was a father figure.

About an hour later.

After the war-like red carpet, Kang Woo-jin could be found in the large hall inside the art center where the Blue Dragon Film Festival was to begin. Although there were many actors, officials, directors, etc., he stood out by far.

Right in the middle of the audience.

Because many people gathered around Woojin. In addition to director Kwon Ki-taek and actors, there are those who have met him through his works from the past to the present, or who simply approach Kang Woo-jin to build a friendship. Director Anga Bok was nowhere to be seen. Because I’m currently in LA.

There it is.

“Take a picture of Kang Woo-jin, Kang Woo-jin. “In close-up.”

The cameras of the broadcast team broadcasting the film festival were all focused on Kang Woo-jin. Viewers watching this scene live are also leaving comments like crazy. There were even a lot of new actors taking pictures of Woojin with their cell phones. With Hong Hye-yeon and Ryu Jung-min on either side of her, Kang Woo-jin, who was by far the world star in this hall, was distraught yet calm.

‘Why do you keep saying hello to me without end? But it’s just gum, but it feels a bit strange. ‘What did you do that it’s already been a year??’

He even experienced the Cannes Film Festival. Is Korea’s Blue Dragon Film Festival a big deal? Still, the picture has changed quite a bit in just one year. Last year, I was a rookie or a supporting actor, but now I am sitting in the lead role in name and reality. Well, if you look at his 3-year career, he is still at the rookie level, but no one in this hall saw Kang Woo-jin as a rookie.

A few dozen minutes passed like that.

As the lighting on the dazzling front stage changed.

-♬♪

Opening music played in the huge hall.

This year’s Blue Dragon Film Festival has begun in earnest.

Suddenly, the audience where many actors had gathered became quiet. As Kang Woo-jin stared at the magnificently decorated stage, an actress in a dress and a male actor in a tuxedo came up to the stage. Both were famous actors who greeted Woojin, and they, who served as emcees, held hand microphones.

“The year is already over.”

“That’s right, I have a lot of regrets.”

The two of them gave appropriate lines and jokes before giving their closing remarks.

“I’m looking forward to Blue Dragon as there have been many great movies! “Then shall we start right away?”

The first awards ceremony followed.

Best Actor, Best New Actress Award. Of course, Kang Woo-jin was not called. Woojin, the male and female rookie actor on stage, was also the first person I saw.

‘Oh, you’re so nice.’

What’s unusual is the comments of both Rookie Award actors.

“I am honored to be able to inherit the rookie award that Kang Woo-jin received last year.”

The point is that Kang Woo-jin was mentioned.

“I was just listening to how great Kang Woo-jin was last year, right? But suddenly my name was called – I really didn’t expect it! thank you!!”

Before we knew it, Woojin was a role model or idol for all new domestic actors. In addition, he was a top actor among the top actors gathered here. At the moment, it was difficult to even touch it carelessly.

Of course, Kang Woo-jin himself didn’t think anything of it.

‘Hmm, I’m a little embarrassed for no reason.’

Thanks to this, Kang Woo-jin was often in the spotlight, but his poker face did not waver. The award presentation by the staff followed. Art, technology, script, etc.

Literally.

“Art Award! congratulations! Han Seo-kyung from ‘Leech’!”

It was a party of two movies.

“congratulations! Technical Award! Kim Dong-jin from ‘Island of the Missing’!”

The best screenplay went to director Anga Bok.

“Director Kwon Ki-taek will accept the award on behalf of Director Ahn Ga-bok, who is currently in LA.”

The atmosphere gradually heats up. After the first part of the celebration stage, part 2 began.

At the start, Kang Woo-jin was called.

“Popular Star Award!! Congratulations! Kang Woo-jin!!”

Everyone in the audience stood up and applauded.

-Clap, clap, clap, clap!

A face that you can already predict just by looking at its expression. It was natural. A popular star in just one year. No, because he was the one who rose to become a world star. Kang Woo-jin, who calmly went on stage, received a bouquet of flowers and a trophy and then stood at the standing microphone.

The acceptance speech was not long.

“Thank you, I am happy that I was able to receive a good award this year as well as last year. Next year, we will try to receive the Popular Star Award overseas as well.”

He never forgets to aim for Hollywood.

Next is the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress awards. This time too, two movies dominated.

“Best Supporting Actor Award!! Jeon Woo-chang from ‘Island of the Missing’!!”

It almost seemed like Blue Dragon was a film festival just for two movies.

“Best Supporting Actress Award! Congratulations! Sojin Han!!!”

Eventually, the Blue Dragon Film Festival reached its end. Jin Jae-jun, who performed ‘Leech’ with Woojin, was on stage.

“I went to the magnificent Cannes, and in many ways it was the most thrilling year of my entire acting career.”

He gave an appropriate comment and announced the start of this award ceremony.

“Let’s take a look at this year’s Blue Dragon Best Actor nominees.”

Several movies and actors were displayed on a large screen near the stage. The first start.

-‘Island of the Missing’/Kang Woo-jin

It was Kang Woo-jin from ‘Island of the Missing’. There are a total of 5 candidates including him. Seeing that ‘Leech’ Kang Woo-jin is not there, it looks like Blue Dragon made a choice and focused.

There it is.

-‘Leech’/Shin Shim-ho

This was also because the great actor Shim Ho of ‘Leech’ was included among the candidates. The candidates, including Shin Shim-ho, were so competitive that they dominated the Korean acting scene.

But anyway.

“Best Actor Award at this year’s Blue Dragon Film Festival! Following Cannes, I am seeing this glory before my eyes once again!”

I couldn’t get over it.

“congratulations! Best Actor Award! Kang Woo-jin from ‘Island of the Missing’!!“

Kang Woo-jin, whose Blue Dragon is only second.

Woojin, who went from being a rookie to supporting actor to leading actor of the day in just the second time, stood up calmly. There was applause and congratulations that seemed to explode, but Woojin, with no change in expression, just walked towards the stage.

”······“

Because it was equipped with a concept that applied ‘beast shoes’. Therefore, his iron plate was stronger than ever.

‘Wow! Blue Dragon Leading Actor Award Achieved! If this happens, there will be two leading actor awards!’

Kang Woo-jin, who appeared on stage with a cynical face, was nothing special.

-Sigh.

He received the second Best Actor Award after Khan.

But his collection of Best Actor awards did not end with Blue Dragon.

It was the 20th, exactly 3 days after Cheongryong.

『[Film Festival] Following Blue Dragon, Kang Woo-jin won the Best Actor award at the Grand Bell Awards for ‘Leech’! Sweeping all leading actor awards, including Cannes! / Photo』

This year’s Best Actor Award was dominated by Kang Woo-jin.
