Foreign media quickly began churning out articles that were similar but slightly different.

『LA TIME/Beast and Beauty live-action production? Will Disney’s live-action film succeed this time?

It was worthy news. Originally, there was a lot of interest in the ‘Big Five’ film companies in Hollywood, and ‘World Disney Pictures’ in particular was a particularly high issue. This was largely due to the fandom of the original work. In other words, if the live-action film issue published by ‘World Disney Pictures’ is published as an article, it will sell well.

It was like that in the past too.

Whether the live-action adaptation was a huge hit or not, when news broke that World Disney Pictures was adapting the original animation into live-action, countless fans around the world flocked to it. Like this time, it was obvious that ‘The Beast and Beauty’, one of the representative works, would be no different.

The public in many countries quickly became obsessed with the articles published by foreign media every moment.

-Oh my god! The Beast and Beauty in live-action??!

-Bella! Is it possible to see Bella in real life?

– Disney! It’s a work filled with my memories, and I won’t let you if you destroy it.

-How do you plan to create a beast? Also CG?

Languages ​​were also diverse.

This proves that the fandom for ‘Beast and Beauty’ is diverse. Although it was ‘The Beast and Beauty’ that aroused such great interest around the world, ‘World Disney Pictures’ moved again as if this was not the end. It was exactly two hours after the official announcement of the live-action film.

‘World Disney Pictures’ posted the current situation as another topic on its official SNS.

-[hello! This is World Disney Pictures! Thank you for your interest in the live-action version of Beast and Beauty. Our Beast and Beauty has currently confirmed the male actor for the role of ‘The Beast’ and the female actor for the role of ‘Beautiful Bella’, and are scheduled to begin screen tests soon…]

It was quite a long article, but to summarize, it was like this. ‘We have confirmed the candidates for the main actors and plan to reveal them to fans before auditions and screen tests.’ degree. This meant that ‘World Disney Pictures’ had been carrying out its work in utmost secrecy, and this SNS post quickly attracted comments in numerous languages.

‘Clierot’ was certainly not weak, but ‘The Beast and the Beauty’ had better firepower because it definitely had the power of the original. Is it a difference in imagination? Although ‘Cierrot’ is still an unknown work, ‘The Beast and Beauty’ has an original work, so it can give fans even more explosive imaginations. Whatever it is, the issue of ‘The Beast and Beauty’ heated up all over the world at the end of the year.

Of course, this was also true in Asia.

Japan or something.

『The production of the live-action film “Beast and Beauty” confirmed, raising curiosity about the candidate actors!』

Even Korea.

-Are you making a live-action version of “The Beast and Beauty?” A casting board that I decided on based on an issue that is shaking the world!!｜Movie type TV

The domestic media did not cover this issue with much fuss. However, it has reached the point where it has risen to the top of overseas topics, and public opinion rather than the media is in an uproar. In particular, SNS and communities were shaken.

Naturally, Kang Woo-jin also confirmed this situation.

‘Wow, the firepower is coming!’

Perhaps because it was around Christmas, I felt even stronger. December was drawing to a close while ‘The Beast and Beauty’ was becoming a hot topic both overseas and domestically.

Next morning, at Kang Woo-jin’s house.

Kang Woo-jin wakes up from his bed around 5 am. After staring blankly into space for a few seconds, he tilted his head left and right and picked up the cell phone lying nearby. Woojin, who was naturally yawning, saw numbers being printed on the cell phone screen.

“after-”

He sighs slightly. The reason was simple.

-[2022/ January/ 1st/ Saturday]

It’s a new year, Kang Woo-jin’s third year has passed.

after.

2021 has come to an end, and 2022 has dawned. The next two days passed quickly. Before we knew it, it was Monday, January 3rd. Of course, quite a bit has happened so far. ‘Beast and Beauty’, which became an issue both overseas and domestically with the confirmation of the live-action adaptation and the confirmation of the candidate actors, raised expectations again by additionally announcing the director and key staff.

However, the list of candidate actors has not yet been confirmed. Not to be outdone, the ‘clown’ side also raised interest by making the audition and screen test date official.

Of course, Kang Woo-jin related to ‘Clierot’ was also hot.

『’Clierot’ audition, screen test coming on the 25th… When will Kang Woo-jin start?』

Before I knew it, there were less than three weeks left until the 20th. As soon as the new year began, the domestic media and public opinion frantically expressed hope for Kang Woo-jin’s entry into Hollywood. If Woojin wins the role of the male lead in ‘Cierrot,’ he will become the first Korean actor to play a leading role in Hollywood.

In the meantime, ‘Columbia Studio’ handed over audition-related materials to Kang Woo-jin.

These were audition scripts and explanations included in the official scenario of ‘Clierrot’. To put it briefly, the audition and screen test for ‘Cierrot’ required preparation for both assigned acting and free acting. The comment that things like props and makeup are left to the actors is a bonus.

However, Kang Woo-jin, who was changing schedules early in the morning, was not very shaken.

‘It’s snowing so hard-‘

While I was traveling between schedules, I was just silently admiring the heavy snow falling outside the car window. Because there really wasn’t a big problem. Part of the reason was that even though it was a new year, the strong concept remained.

To him like that.

“Woojin.”

Choi Seong-geon, whose ponytail was a little longer, showed the tablet. The process of organizing what I needed to tell Woojin from earlier has been completed. What he summarized was the current situation of the movies ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’ and ‘Leech’. It has been about two weeks since both movies were released, and it is safe to say that they dominated the theatrical box office at the end of last year and this New Year.

even.

“At this rate, both ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’ and ‘Leech’ will likely exceed 10 million, and ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’ in particular could be a repeat of ‘Naval Battle’ if done well.”

I was referring to ‘The Battle of the Sea’, which is ranked 3rd in the ranking of Korean movies of all time. For reference, first place is ‘Leech’ and second place is ‘Island of the Missing’. If ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’ takes third place, all of Kang Woo-jin’s films from 1st to 3rd place were achieved.

An absurd situation that seemed impossible was at hand. Pigtail Choi Seong-geon was naturally nervous.

“Whew… if this happens – it will be truly incredible.”

Woojin answered lowly.

“It would be nice if it worked, but it’s okay if it doesn’t work out.”

“really?! really??”

“yes.”

“Hey, hey, breaking this record is just around the corner! Isn’t it a waste!! You shy bastard! “It wouldn’t be surprising if another actor’s heart would explode in this situation!”

“Is that so?”

Woojin calmly recited, but unlike his hard exterior, his insides were the opposite.

‘please! please! Stranger, take third place! please! What if I take 3rd place? 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place – it’s my movie!’

Almaeng Kang Woo-jin was also praying passionately. However, he cannot show such frivolity.

-Sigh.

I stretched out my hand, trying hard to maintain a poker face. I picked up one of the scripts and scenarios piled up around me. As expected, the one I see often recently is ‘Cierrot’. Because auditions and screen tests are just around the corner. When Woojin picked up the scenario, Seonggeon Choi fell silent. The same goes for other team members.

Because I can’t interrupt Kang Woo-jin’s scenario reading.

Next, Woojin.

-Sure.

I poked at the black square next to the ‘clown’ scenario. Enter subspace straight away. As soon as he arrived at the endlessly dark place, Kang Woo-jin moved to the place where the white square was floating. Of course, the one he chose was ‘Cierrot’.

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

-[*This is a highly complete movie scenario. 100% reading is possible.]

Woojin has already finished reading the ‘Cierrot’ scenario several times. I’m currently practicing reading (experience) whenever I have time. This includes all other characters, including the male lead. Unlike in the past, many abilities were added to Woojin thanks to the grace of subspace, but there was no change in the ability to bring out more vivid roles by repeating the reading (experience).

soon.

“see-”

In Woojin’s eyes, the roles of ‘Clierot’ were listed.

-[You have selected 11/Scenario (Title: Pierrot).]

-[List people who can lead (experience).]

-[A: Henry Gordon / Villain, B: Robert Franklin, C: Detective Alex…]

I saw some pretty familiar names. Among these, Kang Woo-jin chose the role of ‘Henry Gordon/Villain’. She was also the main character of ‘Clierot’. Soon, a robot-like female voice rang throughout subspace.

[“A:Henry Gordon/Preparing to read villain…”]

For a brief moment, Kang Woo-jin let out a serious sigh.

“after-”

A huge gray figure fell upon him from behind.

My body was tilted.

I heard an exhaust sound like ‘Woohung’.

The dark vision gradually became brighter.

Colors are filled.

‘Henry Gordon’. No, it was about Kang Woo-jin.

It rattled again. My body feels weak. Woojin raised his head. It was a shabby bus. A bus covered in graffiti from the seats to the windows. Kang Woo-jin sat on a bus traveling on a road at night.

The seat is at the very back.

Woojin’s gaze lowered again. I could see the clothes I was wearing. She was vague. It looks like a suit, but it splatters. Red jacket and pants, yellow vest, worn brown shoes. The outfit was very conspicuous and almost tattered, but for some reason, Woojin didn’t mind.

I was used to it.

-Sureuk.

When I lowered my head, my hair fell. It was a light red color. Long hair that even covers the ears.

“······”

Kang Woo-jin casually swept his head. It’s wet. Now that I think about it, it’s a little hot inside this bus. What is it like? Isn’t it enough to enjoy it? Slowly, the feelings of the owner come into Woojin’s heart. It spread through her veins and throughout her body.

The first thing that came to mind was madness.

It is happiness and fantasy. It’s romance and hell. It is wholeness and chaos. Justice and injustice. It’s laughter and crying. People and clowns.

It is a tragedy and a comedy.

You are a tragedy, I am a comedy.

The things that gradually filled Woojin were things whose names he did not know. But can this be dismissed as abnormal? Can we say it is a variant?

Fuck you.

For Kang Woo-jin, hotness and coldness, unhappiness and happiness coexisted. You can laugh. It was true. Woojin enjoyed everything he saw.

Why is this like this?

Why does my heart beat like this?

It was as if joy had been injected into my heart and brain.

Should we at least dance?

It was at this time.

-Squeak!

The bus screeched to a halt. Soon, four rambunctious men got on board. While they were playing around with each other, they found Woojin in the back of the bus. Kang Woo-jin looked at them and tilted his head halfway. At first the men flinched, but soon they started giggling as they looked at Woojin’s face.

“Look at this bastard’s face!”

“You idiot! “I think you’ve lost your mind?”

“Kkeuk, hey! Dance! “Try to be funny!”

Men sat around Woojin and tapped him. Kang Woo-jin was feeling a strong shiver even at this moment. However, the men seem to disapprove of Woojin smiling.

“Hey, are you ignoring what I said?”

“After a few hits, it will move.”

The hand that was touching me became rough. However, Woojin left his body to their power and swayed until suddenly.

“Huh-”

He placed his face right in front of the face of the man sitting on his right. He then burst out laughing. The irritated man hit Woojin’s face with his fist. Kang Woo-jin falls to the floor. But his laughter became violent.

“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!”

The men narrowed their eyes and stepped on Woojin. Although he made moans like “ugh” and “ugh,” Kang Woo-jin’s smile gradually grew louder.

“Kkkkkk! ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha!”

At this point, the men stopped kicking and muttered softly as they looked at Kang Woo-jin lying on the floor.

“What a crazy bastard.”

Kang Woo-jin, whose mouth was curled up in his ears, opened his arms and spoke to them.

“What are you doing? Do more.”

The men looked at each other’s faces and then knocked on the back door of the bus.

“Open the door!! hey! article! “Open the door!!”

-Squeak!

The bus stopped. The men got off the bus and ran as if running away. Soon, a fat bus driver sneaked up and carefully asked Woojin, who was lying face down.

“Hey, are you okay?”

Woojin was still smiling. The bus driver flinched and spoke again.

“It’s your face that’s why there’s a fight going on.”

Kang Woo-jin let out a small breath and slowly stood up. Then, I quietly looked at the bus driver in front of me.

“swimming-”

He stuck out his tongue with a smile. She appears to be fed up with the bus driver and runs away into her driver’s seat.

“You’re crazy!”

Next, Woojin looked at himself reflected in the bus window.

“······”

Lightly red hair, a face painted white, two pointed eyes with red squares drawn on them, and thick lips that resemble a straight, split smile.

He was a terrible ‘clown’ himself.

“Crazy, that’s high praise?”

This story was the birth of a villain.
