A chubby reporter who reminds me of Kang Woo-jin when I see the famous Hollywood producer Joseph Felton. It was most likely. Other than that, there are currently no actors in Korea who would be called ‘world stars.’

“Two of Hollywood’s ‘Big Five’ film companies have already become involved with Kang Woo-jin. That alone is unprecedented – could it be that three places, including ‘Universal Movies’, are flocking to Kang Woo-jin?”

Of course, maybe not. Joseph Felton may have come to Korea for other reasons than to visit Kang Woo-jin. According to common sense, it was more natural.

‘But the timing is amazing.’

Woojin turned the world upside down by being cast as the male lead in two major Hollywood movies. Even though it’s been about a week since Kang Woo-jin returned to Korea, she’s still as hot as a furnace. Then Joseph Felton appeared in Korea. By coincidence, the legs fit perfectly, right? The chubby reporter instinctively sensed that this was a story that would sell well. It’s almost as if you’ve already seen the girl group that appeared at the arrival hall.

-Sigh.

He looked around at the chaos caused by the appearance of the girl group. Dozens of reporters and onlookers seemed completely oblivious to the foreigners they had just passed by. The chubby reporter picked up his camera and checked the photos of Joseph Felton.

“······Whether they came because of Kang Woo-jin or not, we have to throw this out and see.”

A smile quickly spread across his lips. Kang Woo-jin, has there ever been an actor with such a high influence throughout the history of the domestic entertainment industry? Once you publish an article, it sells like hotcakes. Even if Joseph Felton didn’t come because of Kang Woo-jin, aggro will be attracted enough, and if their real goal is Woo-jin.

“It’s a scoop.”

Soon, the reporter left the noisy arrival hall and walked slowly.

-Sure.

The photos taken were sent somewhere. Then he tapped his cell phone passionately. The phone call that followed.

“Yes, it is me. Have you seen the picture? They’re not just foreigners, they’re powerful kids from Hollywood. No, listen first. I heard the script is good?”

Woojin Kang, ‘Universal Movies’, Joseph Felton, etc. appeared on his phone. After finishing the call, which lasted roughly 10 minutes, he put down his cell phone. He then smiled at the advertisement that appeared on the large monitor in the airport lobby. The main character of the advertisement was Kang Woo-jin.

“But if it really has ‘Universal Movies’… isn’t it a level that even the top Hollywood companies can’t compete with?”

Meanwhile, inside a van driving on the highway.

Two vans moving fast. Among them, there were many foreigners in the front car. What caught my eye the most was a tall man wearing a leather jacket sitting by the window. It was Joseph Felton, a famous Hollywood producer.

“······”

Joseph rested his chin, looked out the window, and muttered softly in English.

“Korea – it’s been a long time. “This is my first time since filming ‘Leech’ last year.”

The bald-headed man sitting next to him reacted quickly.

“······I am concerned about the reporters who were crowded into the arrivals hall earlier. “They barely knew us, but they might have taken a picture.”

“Maybe so, what can I do? “You didn’t know that our movements would overlap with that of a popular Korean group.”

“There may be a reporter who recognizes us.”

Joseph, who was smiling and crossing his long legs, shrugged his shoulders.

“Haha, is there a reporter who recognized my face and even guessed Kang Woo-jin? But it doesn’t matter. Even if it’s known, it won’t be a big problem. No, it would be accurate to say that I don’t have time to worry about such things.”

Bald-headed Robert looked at the face of the giant Joseph and let out a small sigh.

“Coming all the way to Korea just to deliver the scenario to Kang Woo-jin – wasn’t that a bit excessive? Of course, reasons such as rationing were cited externally.”

“late.”

“yes?”

“It’s too late. I was the first to spot Kang Woo-jin, but I ended up in last place. “It’s the first time I’ve felt so unfair while doing this job.”

Joseph Felton shook his head and recalled the first time he saw Woojin Kang. The first time he saw Woojin was quite a while ago. Early last year, around the screen test for ‘Last Kill 3’.

“As soon as I saw his extraordinary energy, I thought he would immediately make a mark in Hollywood… but I had no idea that his value would rise dozens of times so quickly. He was unknown until last year – but now he is already a superstar in Hollywood. “He made some promises in advance, but in business relationships, promises are like dust.”

“······”

“Wouldn’t Kang Woo-jin be at least interested if I showed this level of sincerity myself? ‘Clero: Birth of a Villain’ and ‘Beast and Beauty’ are already confirmed. They might not care about us. “It’s us who are disappointed.”

Joseph Felton, who has been in Hollywood for decades. For Joseph, Kang Woo-jin’s crazy growth was something he had never seen before. He literally became a world-famous star in the blink of an eye. For his part, he felt unfairly treated. He was the quickest to find the round gem, but after processing it, he sold it to the world and found it for someone else.

But what can you do? This is what happened.

It is not strange to raise a white flag, but Joseph Felton, who has been watching Kang Woo-jin all this time and has his monstrous side stuck in his head, did not give up on Woo-jin. He clearly couldn’t give up. When I first saw it, I wanted to experience the wonder of ‘Leech’ and ‘Beneficial Evil’ again.

‘What if I get third place? It doesn’t matter as long as I stop catching it.’

Above all, he had another purpose.

‘We have to catch Kang Woo-jin in order to appoint Danny Landis as manager.’

It was Danny Landis, a big-time Hollywood director who conditionally accepted the directorship. He made it a condition for Woojin to join. It was Joseph Felton who had no choice but to risk his life for Kang Woo-jin for one reason or another.

“···Kang Woojin, when is your appointment with him?”

Bald-headed Robert answered right away.

“two days later.”

“Did you say that filming for Part 2 of ‘Beneficial Evil’ has begun right now?”

“yes.”

“after-”

Joseph took a long breath and placed a stack of papers on his lap. No, I looked down at the scenario and muttered softly.

“What will this look like to Kang Woo-jin?”

On the same day, a little after noon.

The location is a large set complex in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi-do. It was a pretty familiar place. Because it was a set of ‘beneficial evil’. Of course, the set in the spacious warehouse looked completely different from Part 1. Construction related to Part 2 filming has already been completed. In the parking lot outside of such a set complex.

-Sigh.

A black van stopped and a black-haired man got out. It was Kang Woo-jin with a dark-faced face.

“······”

He was calm as he looked at the set complex, but inside he was quite moved.

‘K-It’s been a while here.’

How can I say it, it feels like I’m back home? It was even more so because I returned from traveling abroad so much. Anyway, next to Woojin, who adjusted his hat.

“It seemed like I used a lot of force.”

Pigtail Choi Seong-geon was added.

“Part 1’s box office success was beyond crazy and created a worldwide syndrome. “Part 2 set construction also cost twice as much as planned.”

The CEO of Netflix’s headquarters in the United States even went so far as to praise ‘beneficial evil’. It is natural for the flow of funds to be concentrated on ‘beneficial evil’. I was also looking forward to Kang Woo-jin.

‘Oh-you mean so?’

The set has been transformed, and filming for Part 2 of ‘Beneficial Evil’ begins today. Well, if you look at the schedule, it will be several times more hell since filming for ‘Beneficial Evil’ has been added.

‘It’s okay, I’m fine. Still, I think I should go to subspace at least once before I start.’

Kang Woo-jin’s condition was excellent. That’s how Woojin entered the ‘Beneficial Evil’ set complex with Choi Seong-gun and his teammates. Soon, several of the assistant directors and staff waiting at the entrance spotted Kang Woo-jin.

“Ah, Kang Woo-jin is here!”

After hitting the radio, he joined Woojin. After a few minutes, a bearded man came running towards me. Producer Song Man-woo was recently making his name known around the world, and there were some familiar faces around him. Writer Choi Nana and general director Kim So-hyang, who have recently gained confidence, as well as many others. The entrance to the set complex quickly became crowded, and Kang Woo-jin was full of anticipation.

‘Uh-huh, what kind of momentum are you doing? I was a little scared.’

I instinctively became more cynical. The funny thing is.

“Mr. Woojin!”

Producer Song Man-woo, who was breathing a little harshly due to running, asked a strange question.

“You decided to do additional work with ‘Universal Movies’??!”

“······”

Eh? suddenly? Kang Woo-jin was a little embarrassed by the question that came before the greeting. Writer Choi Na-na, Kim So-hyang, and other gathered people all look at Woo-jin with the same expression as producer Song Man-woo. It means 100% of the same mind. Why is ‘Universal Movies’ coming out of nowhere? Kang Woo-jin, who had been silent, glanced at Choi Seong-geon. He shook his head slightly.

About this way.

“No, an article appeared.”

Producer Song Man-woo showed his cell phone. He must have been watching until just before, when the article was being printed on his cell phone.

『[Exclusive] Joseph Felton, a famous Hollywood producer who appears at Incheon Airport. He is working with ‘Universal Movies’. Why did he come to Korea? To meet Woojin Kang?』

The giant Joseph Felton and his team were proudly featured in the photo embedded in the article. For a moment, Kang Woo-jin thought to himself.

‘Ah, this guy got caught.’

Because there was already something discussed with Joseph regarding the meeting. But why did you come in so confidently? There was no mention of it being top secret, but Woojin thought the meeting with him was secret. Soon, General Director Kim So-hyang, who was next to Producer Song Man-woo, spoke in a slightly excited voice.

“I know Joseph Felton, I’ve seen him a few times in the past. You also came to our Bangkok location, right? But the fact that you came to Korea at this time has something to do with Woojin?”

Producer Song Man-woo helped.

“It won’t necessarily be possible to come and watch the filming of Part 2 again. “What are you really talking about with ‘Universal Movies’?”

A situation full of curiosity. It was natural. As Hollywood’s two ‘Big Five’ were not enough, a third ‘Universal Movies’ also appeared. Kang Woo-jin, who was silent for a moment, answered casually. The tone was quite low.

“Nothing was discussed with ‘Universal Movies.’”

“Ah really?”

And it didn’t seem like he had any intention of hiding it.

“But you will meet Joseph Felton.”

Soon, the eyes of everyone in attendance, including PD Song Man-woo, widened.

“!!!”

Kang Woo-jin’s actions so far have already become legendary, but that doesn’t mean it’s the end. Producer Song Man-woo, who looked a little lost, then recited.

“If this is the case… the Hollywood kids will fall into a sense of self-destruction.”

Afterwards.

By the time Kang Woo-jin had managed to start filming Part 2 of ‘Beneficial Evil’, the domestic media was frantically rushing to see the suddenly thrown rice cake.

『Columbia Studios’, ‘World Disney Pictures’ and ‘Universal Movies’? Did a famous Hollywood producer really come to see Kang Woo-jin?』

『[Issue Pick] The famous Hollywood producer who appeared at Incheon Airport is working on a project for ‘Universal Movies’』

『Kang Woo-jin, do you plan to cover all of Hollywood’s ‘Big Five’ film companies? Contact ‘Universal Movies’』

『Kang Woo-jin joins the cast of ‘Universal Movies’, Kang Woo-jin’s side remains silent on the unexpected news』

The articles being covered were based on facts and nonsense, and it felt like I was just looking at them. Speculation, abuse, and gossip are rampant. There were already numerous issues related to Kang Woo-jin, so the firepower spread quickly.

-Eh????? What is this again? Hahahaha. I just heard this out of the blue.

-Do you think even Universal will stick with Kang Woo-jin? It seems like the reporter gets excited just by filming a random foreigner haha.

-No, the black person pictured is a Hollywood producer. The investigation was published in another article.

-I guess he came to Korea for some other business… If he wants to catch Kang Woo-jin at Universal… Kang Woo-jin is really god-level…

-I think it’s true that I came to catch Kang Woo-jin haha. It’s really boring.

-Isn’t Kang Woo-jin truly trampling on Hollywood at this level??

Even exactly two hours later.

『CNM/Joseph Felton quietly enters Korea! Korean media, “Universal Movies is also interested in Kang Woo-jin?”』

The flames also spread to foreign media.

Two days later, Thursday, March 24th. bw enter.

It was a medium-sized conference room at BW Entertainment that had been expanded. The time is around 8 am. Several people were seen at the U-shaped desk in the fairly large conference room. Foreigners by the window. At the center was the giant Joseph Felton. On the other side are BW Entertainment employees other than Choi Seong-gun.

and.

“······”

Even Kang Woo-jin looks at Joseph indifferently. Perhaps they had already exchanged greetings, but Joseph, with a smile on his face, looked at Woojin and continued speaking.

“I’m sorry, it looks like our entry has caused a stir in Korea.”

Kang Woo-jin answered casually in English.

“are you okay. “It happened often.”

“Haha, is that so?”

“Is Hollywood okay? “It seems like it has spread there.”

“The calls are noisy, but it’s not a problem.”

Joseph gave a leisurely answer to a question.

-Sigh.

He pushed the wad of paper in front of him towards Kang Woo-jin.

“This is the scenario I’ve been talking about with Woojin for a while.”

Woojin picked up the scenario while maintaining a poker face.

‘It took so long. is not it? Ordinary? I don’t know, start from sub-space.’

I secretly tried to stab the black square next to the scenario. But before that.

“Mr. Woojin.”

Joseph Felton across from me spoke faster.

“You know coach Danny Landis, right?”

Danny what? Who was it? Then Woojin remembered the director he saw at the Cannes Film Festival.

“of course.”

“Director Danny is one of the greats in Hollywood. He’s greedy for you, he’s put conditions on it. If Woojin does this work, he wants to direct it unconditionally. “This is probably a first for Danny as coach.”

Choi Seong-geon, who only vaguely understood this, was inwardly shocked.

‘H-that coach Danny Landis??’

On the other hand, Kang Woo-jin was very calm.

“Is that so?”

Joseph Felton then spoke again.

“In addition, we will not require Woojin to undergo any audition or screen test.”

It was a longshot.

“If Kang Woo-jin decides, he will be confirmed as the male lead.”
