Roaring sound (1)

 

What makes you shine as Disney’s ‘Beast’? Memories? Kang Woo-jin, sitting at the golden piano, was stunned for a moment. Looking at director Bill Lautner’s smiling face.

“······”

Of course, because his face was so cynical, he didn’t look particularly stupid. Woojin repeated what the foreign director had just said. As Disney’s ‘Beast’, please brighten the memories of fans around the world. He even said that he would endure a lot of controversy for the picture of Woojin sitting at the piano. what? So that means I’m a ‘beast’? Does this mean I ate the ‘beast’?

Woojin, who came up with the answer in about a few tens of seconds, calmly asked back to director Bill Lautner.

“···If you say it as a ‘beast’. Are you saying I became an actor in ‘The Beast’?”

Director Bill Lautner’s smile grew even brighter as he lightly wore his half-bald head.

“That’s right, Kang Woo-jin, you have been confirmed as the actor for ‘The Beast.’ Congratulations, and good luck.”

Director Bill Lautner puts his hand on poker-faced Woojin’s shoulder. At this point, Kang Woo-jin had a very innocent face, but inside he was 180 degrees different.

‘Wow!!’

He almost spread his arms out and hugged director Bill Lautner. You might even play the piano in front of you with excitement.

‘I was nervous because of this foreign grandpa’s build-up!! crazy! I am the beast!’

At that moment, a childhood memory flashed through Kang Woo-jin’s mind. There were times when she watched Disney’s animated movies, among them, of course, ‘Beast and Beauty’. Kang Woo-jin is now implementing the live-action version of that work. Including many top Hollywood actors. What can I say, the feeling of pleasure was a little different from when she passed ‘Cierrot: Birth of a Villain’.

It’s closer to an overwhelming feeling rather than a feeling of pleasure.

Of course, ‘Clero’ is a great work, but ‘The Beast and Beauty’ has enormous recognition worldwide. As Woojin’s heart began to beat faster, director Bill Lautner spoke again, pointing to Woojin Kang and the piano.

“I could have told you anywhere, but I wanted to tell you right here. I also wanted to see this picture again. How about this?”

Kang Woo-jin forcibly poured ice water on his heart. I was in a bad mood, but it was time to calm down.

“Thank you, please take care of me.”

Director Bill Lautner, still smiling, tilted his head slightly.

“hmm? “Your face isn’t as happy as I thought?”

“No, I’m glad.”

“ha ha ha. Even though he was confirmed as the male lead in ‘Beast and Beauty’, he had a quiet face so I asked him about it. If he was happy, then I’m glad. But it’s also surprising, he’s usually so calm, but when he gets into acting, he completely turns around. That’s probably why Hollywood is so interested here.”

“······”

Woojin kept his mouth shut for now. It was because he wasn’t calming down as well as usual, and after checking the time, director Bill Lautner raised his black horn-rimmed glasses and opened his mouth again.

“We need to get to ‘World Disney Pictures,’ everyone will be waiting.”

I am referring to all the production staff involved in ‘The Beast and Beauty’.

“Is it okay to leave here in 30 minutes?”

“it’s okay.”

Director Bill Lautner smiled again at Woojin, who answered, then turned and walked towards the foreign staff waiting for him. Kang Woo-jin also sat at the golden piano for a while and then got up. And then I took a small, inconspicuous breath.

“after-”

When I turned my gaze, I saw Choi Seong-gun and his teammates. He is looking at Kang Woo-jin from one side. A type of people desperately waiting for good news. With an indifferent expression, Woojin slowly moved her feet. Choi Seong-geon, who was standing as if he couldn’t bear to get closer, quickly tackled Woo-jin first.

“Director Bill Lautner—what did he say? They say the mood goes back and forth from being serious to laughing. huh?”

“······”

“Woojin? Why is the answer… is it really a failure? So did you offer me another role? uh? “Please speak up.”

Choi Seong-gun and his teammates look at Kang Woo-jin with a face full of tension. Looking at them, Woojin answered lowly and clearly.

“‘Beast’ I ate.”

As soon as they heard the answer, Choi Seong-gun or the team members did not react immediately.

“······”

“······”

Everyone just looks at Kang Woo-jin’s calm face with his mouth shut.

Then.

“Wow!! “Huh!”

Choi Seong-geon raised his arms and shouted, unconsciously covering his mouth with one hand. This was because the production team of ‘The Beast and Beauty’, including director Bilottner, was here, and Choi Seong-gun, who clenched his hands into fists almost silently, whispered to Kang Woo-jin.

“It would be embarrassing if the CEO of one of Hollywood’s ‘Big Five’ actors who signed a contract with two film companies came forward.”

It was a tone full of happiness.

“Congratulations, Woojin. “You have truly written a legend unprecedented in Korea and Hollywood.”

backwards.

Kang Woo-jin, Choi Seong-gun, and their teammates followed director Bill Lautner and the production crew. The purpose was to go to ‘World Disney Pictures’, and the inside of the van driving on the road was truly reminiscent of a crazy festival. Because everyone except Choi Seong-geon screamed.

“Ouch!! “I really, really congratulate you, oppa!!!”

“and!!! Hehehe! Seriously, it went really, really well!! Ha, I’m crying.”

“oh my god! In the current situation, if it is announced that Woojin has been confirmed for the role of ‘Beast’!! “I wonder how surprised the country – no, the world – will be!!”

Woojin, who maintained his indifference despite the frantic situation, also agreed. It hasn’t been long since the ‘Beneficial Evil’ incident, as well as the ‘Cierrot: Birth of a Villain’ incident, broke out. Even now, the global public and foreign media are chewing on Woojin and enjoying it. Needless to say, Korea.

What if the ‘Beast and Beauty’ incident, which attracted the most controversy and attention here, erupts?

‘I can’t imagine this.’

It was obvious that a typhoon would blow at an unpredictable level. Whatever it was, as soon as Woojin and Choi Seong-gun arrived at the spacious ‘World Disney Pictures’, they entered the spacious conference room inside with director Bill Lautner. There were many foreigners who had already gathered in the conference room. Most of them were people I saw during the audition. Executive producers, executives, key staff, etc.

Director Bill Lautner came into the mix.

-Sigh.

Kang Woo-jin sat in the first seat across from me. Seong-geon Choi was sitting next to him, and he looked very nervous. On the other hand, Woojin was quite at peace. Since we’ve come this far, the only thing left to do is go straight. Soon, all the foreigners in the conference room congratulated Woojin. He also said many things to wish me well in the future. That lasted roughly 10 minutes, and then the executive producer of ‘Beast and Beauty’ changed the topic.

“There will be several meetings in the future, but we will decide them gradually.”

This refers to a formal contract that includes a ransom that will make your eyes widen like a ‘clown’. How much astronomical money will be exchanged this time? When Kang Woo-jin was lost in his thoughts for a moment, the producer continued.

“First, I have something to ask of Mr. Kang Woo-jin.”

ask? What request?

“which.”

“Now that the role of ‘Beast’ has been confirmed, there will be an audition for the role of ‘Beautiful Bella’. As you know, several confirmed candidate actresses, including Miley Kara, will be attending – I hope Woojin will also attend the audition as ‘Beast’.”

This part was something Woojin had previously heard in a phone call with Miley Cara. What did they say, that they were trying to achieve synchronization by adding ‘Beautiful Bella’ to the presence of ‘Beast’? Woojin thought it would be fun. Aside from Kara, you can also see other nominated actors.

What more?

‘I might be able to experience the live-action version of ‘Beast and Beauty’ a little bit in advance.’

It was possible to film the live-action ‘Beast and Beauty’.

“When is the audition for the role of ‘Beautiful Bella’?”

The answer came from director Bill Lautner.

“The morning of the 28th. “It will be around 11 o’clock.”

Today is the 21st. It was about a week later. A solemn Woojin looked at the pigtail-haired Choi Seong-geon sitting next to him. A look that asks if the schedule is correct. Choi Seong-geon, who was rolling his head for a moment, nodded his head. Kang Woo-jin responded to the director across from him.

“it’s possible.”

After hearing the answer, the faces of the entire ‘Beast and Beauty’ production team, including director Bill Lautner and the executive producer, brightened. Then, director Bill Lautner, wearing black horn-rimmed glasses, changed the topic.

“And Woojin, please wait a little while to announce your confirmation for the role of ‘Beast’. “It is a very noisy topic among fans around the world, and since it is the desired result, we have some preparations to do.”

“of course.”

“It won’t take too long though. “I have already decided to endure it, so there is no reason to hesitate.”

At this time, the executive producer sitting to the right of director Bill Lautner intervened.

“Kang Woo-jin, I heard you’ll be appearing on ‘The Jamie Show’ soon.”

He must have read an article about Woojin appearing on America’s No. 1 talk show. Kang Woo-jin calmly nodded her head.

“yes.”

“When will the recording be done?”

“It’s tomorrow.”

“The location is New York, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

The producer nodded slowly, whispered with the people around him for a moment, and then spoke again. For some reason, I smiled.

“I think it’ll be okay, I have an idea, would you like to hear it?”

And one day later, on the 22nd, during the day.

『[Star Photo] Kang Woo-jin’s photo taken in New York, because of the recording of ‘Jamie Show’? / Photo』

The recording of Kang Woo-jin’s ‘Jamie Show’ has begun.

A few days later, on the night of the 26th, LA.

The location was a two-story mansion that was quite far from the city center and looked magnificent at first glance. It is entirely white in tone, and the spacious yard and swimming pool stand out. It’s a two-story mansion, but looking at the overall area, it’s safe to say it’s three stories. Perhaps because the mansion was so huge, the living room was jaw-droppingly large, and all the furniture looked expensive.

A brown-haired man wearing a comfy hoodie appeared next to the large sofa in the living room, holding a snack in one hand and a scenario for ‘Cierrot: Birth of a Villain’ in the other hand.

-Sigh.

It was Chris Hartnett, a top Hollywood actor with very attractive dark brown eyes. After stroking his hair once, Chris sat down on the sofa. After checking the time, he turned on the large  TV in front.

“It must have started slowly.”

Chris Hartnett, with his legs crossed, put a potato chip in his mouth and operated the remote control. Every time the channel changed, various foreigners were displayed on the large TV.

Then.

-♬♪

An opening song that was quite familiar to Chris rang out on one channel. It was the ‘Jamie Show’, the No. 1 late-night talk show in the United States. By now, many people overseas other than Chris are probably watching this show. Soon, the host sitting at a simple table and a soft-looking single-person sofa appeared  on TV. The host of ‘The Jamie Show’ was someone Chris Hartnett also knew.

He gave his usual opening comment.

-[“With ‘Jamie Show’ again today! Today we invited an actor who is heating up Hollywood! ‘Jamie Show’ is also the first to learn Korean!”]

Chris laughing while watching ‘Jamie Show’.

“He is the first in everything.”

Next, the TV host introduced today’s guest.

-[“Actor Kang Woo-jin!!”]

Immediately the guest appearance song started playing and the camera angle moved slightly. A man with black hair and an indifferent face enters the single-person sofa. It was Kang Woo-jin, dressed in a suit. After shaking hands with the host, he sat down on the sofa, looked at the camera and said hello in a low tone of English.

-[“Hello, I am actor Kang Woo-jin.”]

As soon as Woojin appeared, Chris, whose smile deepened, spoke again.

“Oh, it suits you well? Haha, it’s different from ‘Joker’.”

Chris crunches his potato chips as if it’s fun and focuses on ‘The Jamie Show’. Soon, Kang Woo-jin’s full-fledged talk on TV began.

-[“I have a lot to say – how do you feel as the busiest man in Hollywood these days?”]

-[“It’s not bad.”]

-[“······Is this the end?”]

-[“That’s it.”]

-[“Hey! This is ‘Jamie Show’! “Please give me a longer answer!”]

Chris chuckled when he saw the unique comedic elements of ‘Jamie Show’. Did about 20 minutes pass like that? The talk, which started with Kang Woo-jin’s debut, soon went beyond the Cannes Film Festival and even talked about Miley Kara.

-[“Are you close with Miley Cara?”]

-[“I am receiving a lot of help.”]

-[“I also participated in her album, I guess- From then on, Woojin began to make his name known in Hollywood. She later appeared in ‘Beneficial Evil’. ah! I really enjoyed ‘Beneficial Evil’.”]

-[“thank you.”]

-[“We’ll talk about ‘Beneficial Evil’ later, which achieved the miracle of becoming number one on Netflix. Anyway, I’m often involved with Miley. “You were also confirmed as a candidate for the recently hot live-action film ‘Beast and Beauty,’ right?”

Chris, who was watching TV, nodded slowly when he heard the story about ‘The Beast and Beauty.’

“Yeah, I was surprised too. It was announced right after ‘Joker’. Now that I think about it, I heard that the audition for the role of ‘Beast’ has ended – well, but it will be difficult to get into both Columbia and Disney.”

at that time.

-[“No, I am not a candidate actor.”]

On  TV, Kang Woo-jin spoke to the host in a cynical tone. Chris tilted his head.

“hmm?”

Kang Woo-jin’s low-pitched voice rang out from the TV again.

-[“The role of ‘Beast’ has been confirmed to be me.”]

For a moment, Chris Hartnett’s brown eyes widened and his movements stopped. He only opened his mouth slightly.

“what?”
