If I decide, will the male lead be confirmed right away? Across from the giant, Joseph Felton had a faint smile and determination on his face. Kang Woo-jin’s facial expression did not change much due to his dark poker face.

“······”

Kang Woo-jin was very surprised.

‘Whoa, there is no audition or screen test?? Awesome, steamed? Just say I’ll do it and it’s okay?!’

This was the same for Choi Seong-gun, who sat next to him. No, Choi Seong-geon was several times more shocked than Woo-jin. He can feel his current emotions just by looking at his widened eyes.

‘Well, if our Woojin says he will do it, it’s confirmed as the male lead?!! Are you serious, that bastard?? What, have you talked to ‘Universal Movies’?

Of course, Choi Seong-gun and BW Entertainment employees felt the same way. Even though they are not familiar with Hollywood, the conditions that Joseph Felton threw at them were unheard of. Just to think about it, top Hollywood actors such as Chris Hartnett in ‘Cierrot: Birth of a Villain’ and Miley Cara in ‘Beast and Beauty’ also go through auditions.

But does Kang Woo-jin get a free pass?

It wasn’t a strange picture at all that Choi Seong-geon was shocked by. Then, silence spread throughout the conference room for a moment. Neither Kang Woo-jin nor Joseph opened their mouths, but only exchanged glances. That’s roughly a few tens of seconds. Joseph Felton was the first to open the door.

“Woojin, please know that these conditions are quite unconventional. Of course, I received confirmation from ‘Universal Movies’ that I am not the only one going on a rampage.”

Choi Seong-geon gasped again. It is safe to say that the 100% condition Joseph threw was a first for him, Universal Movies, and possibly even Hollywood as a whole. It is clear that if this becomes known to the world, it will cause an uproar not only in Korea but also throughout Hollywood. Joseph offered such unconventional conditions to Kang Woo-jin for the first time in his career as a producer.

Woojin felt how determined Joseph Felton was currently.

‘That guy has great spirit, especially since he’s a famous producer.’

For a moment, several things flashed through Woojin’s mind. From the first time I saw Joseph Felton in the front until now. If you think about it, the first person in Hollywood to recognize Woojin was Joseph Felton. ‘Last Kill 3’ was the first time, and many times since then, Joseph has shown extreme affection for Woojin.

‘I led the team to the Bangkok filming location of ‘Beneficial Evil’.’

If there had been a confirmed scenario, it would have been presented to Woojin a long time ago, and if the quality of the work had not been bad, Kang Woojin would have done it. However, the timing was not good.

‘Did you not know that I would stand out in Hollywood so quickly? Well, anyway, it might be a little unfair to that lady, but the situation is okay for me.’

If Joseph had given the script to Kang Woo-jin earlier than Columbia or Disney, he would not have presented the current Hollywood first conditions. You would have had to go through an audition.

Whatever it is.

-Sigh.

Kang Woo-jin took the wad of paper that Joseph held out. In other words, while looking at the scenario again.

“okay.”

I answered low and short. To express that there is no significant change. In a word, tough. If you had to be surprised, it would be wrong to act rashly. Joseph across from me tried to say something.

“Yes, but other than those conditions, we are confident.”

-Hook.

Before he knew it, Woojin had entered an endlessly dark subspace. Secretly stabbing a black square. As soon as he arrived in subspace, Kang Woo-jin.

“Ugh- crazy. “It was almost obvious that he was surprised because he came right in without blinking.”

I immediately threw away the concept. As he was easing his neck from side to side, he arrived at the place where the white squares were listed. At the end, you can see recent works in which Woojin has been confirmed as the male lead.

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

-[12/Scenario (Title: Beast and Beauty), EX level]

And the very last.

-[13/Scenario (Title: Unknown), S Class]

-[*This is a highly complete movie scenario. 80% reading is possible.]

The work Joseph handed over is floating. As soon as he saw it, Woojin crossed his arms and muttered.

“As expected, the title doesn’t appear. “It wasn’t written in the script, right?”

The scenario cover I received was blank. There may have been content, but there was no title or director written down. This means that the director or title has not been decided yet.

What’s unusual is that

‘But the completeness – 80%?’

It was perfection. 80%, not 100%. That means the scenario is not perfect. Is this roughly the first draft before editing? It was Kang Woo-jin that I wanted to know. There have been several similar cases so far. In short, Joseph brought the scenario to Woojin as soon as it came up.

“I guess you were in a hurry, old man.”

It was a natural conclusion as it was immediately brought to Korea without a title, director, or detailed modifications. Still, it was unusual for the grade to be S-level. Of course, there is a difference from the recent EX level, but the scenario before completion is S level.

“It’s awesome.”

‘Profiler Hanryang’ was S-class. ‘Island of the Missing’ is SS level. In addition, there was a possibility that the grade might increase when this work was completed, or there were other variables.

Directed by Hollywood master Danny Landis.

If Kang Woo-jin is added, there will naturally be a change in the rating. It wasn’t bad one way or another. Kang Woo-jin was rubbing his chin while looking at the white squares. His head started spinning. Compared to when he was new to acting, he now openly thinks about himself as an actor.

‘Hmm… Well, the grade is also a grade. ‘You can’t ignore other parts either.’

Let’s be honest about the ‘other part’ he was thinking about.

‘Ripple effect.’

It was an issue.

Among Hollywood’s ‘Big Five’, we have already acquired ‘Columbia Studios’ and ‘World Disney Pictures’ at the same time. Already a record. However, if ‘Universal Movies’ joins, Kang Woo-jin will take over three places. It is by far the first in Hollywood, and its protagonist is Korean actor Kang Woo-jin. This was more than a unique legend.

Not only is it symbolic, it is at a level that will be impossible for even Hollywood actors, including domestic ones, to beat in the future.

Even in all three of those works, he doesn’t have a supporting role or a supporting role, but all of them are male leads. The impact of each work is like a nuclear bomb. Even if you just think about it, it is clear that Kang Woo-jin’s power over the world easily surpasses common sense.

“······Will an opportunity like this come up again?”

As you work wildly in Hollywood, a similar situation may arise someday, but is there a need to wait for something like that? There are a lot of easy-to-grasp opportunities right in front of you, right? In Woojin’s eyes, the path to becoming a legend in the vast Hollywood has opened wide.

And Kang Woo-jin’s ‘nopakku’ temperament was amplified.

Following.

“Exit.”

Woojin, with a smile on his face, escapes from subspace and enters reality. In other words, we returned to BW Entertainment’s conference room. As if time had stopped again, Joseph Felton across from me was continuing what he was saying.

“We are confident, we invested a lot of time in creating the scenario, and when I read it…”

However, his English words flowed into one ear of Woojin and leaked out the other ear. Kang Woo-jin turned over the blank screenplay cover.

-Palak.

I see a lot of English. He glanced up as he skimmed through several pages, starting with the first and second chapters. He then spoke in a low tone of English to Joseph, who was still giving an enthusiastic briefing.

“Joseph, this piece. “There is no title yet.”

Joseph Felton paused slightly and nodded.

“that’s right. Actually, I haven’t decided on a title yet. “I brought it in as soon as the first draft came out.”

“That’s why I felt the completeness of the work was a little disappointing.”

No, Kang Woo-jin didn’t feel anything like that. It was just a bluff. However, Joseph’s eyes widened as he had no way of knowing this.

“···You felt that?”

“yes.”

Next, he covered the scenario that Kang Woo-jin had unfolded and answered Joseph.

“I understand. I will contact you after reading the scenario.”

I was sincere in wanting to read the work.

after.

After finishing the meeting with Woojin Kang, Joseph Felton and his team entered the elevator. At the same time, Giant Joseph shook his head and laughed.

“Haha, honestly, I was planning on hiding that-”

Soon, the team members tilted their heads and it was bald-headed Robert who spoke.

“What do you mean?”

Joseph, with his gaze straight ahead, answered with a faint smile.

“Completeness of the scenario.”

“ah.”

“I haven’t decided on a title, so it’s not a problem, but I didn’t expect you to just look at the scenario and figure out that it wasn’t 100% complete.”

“······”

“The script I handed over still needs some rough draft revision. But even for most actors, it would be difficult to recognize that, so we just kept going. “Something was urgent.”

As Joseph was answering, he recalled Kang Woo-jin’s innocent face from a moment ago as he got off the elevator.

“I never thought I would immediately notice such details after reading a few pages. My eyes were so accurate, after all.”

It was exactly a misunderstanding.

Meanwhile, Kang Woo-jin, who broke up with Joseph, moved straight to Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi-do. It was to film ‘Beneficial Evil’ Part 2.

-Palak.

He reads the script in a moving van.

‘Oh – it feels good from the beginning? Huh, if it weren’t for sub-space, it would have been poorly completed and I would never have noticed.’

Choi Seong-geon, who was watching Woojin through the rear-view mirror as he turned the pages of the scenario with an indifferent expression, joined in.

“Woojin, of course I will decide after reading the work. “How are you looking at it positively now?”

Kang Woo-jin answered casually.

“First of all, yes, if the scenario is not interesting, you should definitely reject it.”

However, Woojin wondered if that would happen. There was a reason for subspace’s rating of S level. Even though I only saw it briefly, it was fun. That’s how Kang Woo-jin arrived at the ‘Beneficial Evil’ set complex. There were still about 100 staff members, including producer Song Man-woo, who had faces exploding with curiosity toward Kang Woo-jin, and dozens of reporters were gathered around the set complex, but Woo-jin focused on filming for now.

In the meantime, the domestic media was making fun of Kang Woo-jin.

『As expected, ‘world star’ Kang Woo-jin, ‘Universal Movies’ comes to Korea to meet him』

『[Planning] Growing rumor… Did ‘Universal Movies’ really come to meet Kang Woo-jin? If it’s real, it’s a first in Hollywood』

It was the same in Hollywood.

In particular, these ‘Universal Movies’ treats made Hollywood’s two ‘Big Five’ film companies excited. They were ‘Columbia Studios’ and ‘World Disney Pictures.’ Including director Ang Bok, who is currently in mid-pre-production.

“’Universal Movies’ – well, those friends also appeared on the set of ‘Leech’. I guess it’s not a common joke. “Hollywood will be turned upside down again soon.”

Likewise, director Bill Lautner, who was building up the early build-up to ‘Beast and Beauty,’ was also impressed.

“Since Kang Woo-jin appeared, there hasn’t been a quiet day in Hollywood.”

Naturally, the executives of the two film companies, numerous staff, and actors involved in the film were also in a similar situation. Miley Cara and Chris Hartnett immediately posted posts about this rice cake on social media.

Rumors and issues quickly engulfed Hollywood.

However, even after a day or two, and even on the third day when Joseph Felton boarded the plane to LA, there was no significant response from Kang Woo-jin.

just.

『Kang Woo-jin, who has not said anything about ‘Universal Movies’, spurs the filming of ‘Beneficial Evil’ Part 2』

I’m just quietly coping with the hellish schedule and filming Part 2 of ‘Beneficial Evil’. As this happened, the issues that would increase Kang Woo-jin’s prestige grew in size. Starting with this rice cake, the ‘Emmy Award’ for ‘Beneficial Evil’, ‘Beast and Beauty’, ‘Cclanger: Birth of a Villain’ and many others.

Time melted away helplessly as we were busy with both domestic and Hollywood events, and before we knew it, March was over and April had begun.

The date is Monday, April 4th.

Kang Woo-jin boarded the van early in the morning.

“······”

He was staring at the scenario with an innocent face. Recently, when he was traveling or had some free time, Woojin always read this scenario.

yet.

-Sigh.

Kang Woo-jin, who finished reading the first book, covered the scenario. There is no change in facial expression. This is because I made eye contact with Choi Seong-gun, who was sitting in the passenger seat. Woojin then nodded at her with an indifferent expression.

And at this time. Unlike Korea, which is early in the morning, LA is afternoon.

A giant man sitting in his office. In other words, Joseph Felton was talking on the phone while looking out the window. It seemed like it was probably a business contact, and after talking for a while, he put down his cell phone. Then, I check the date on the laptop on my desk. A slightly nervous face.

“······After, it’s been over a week. Should I contact you first?”

It reminds me of Kang Woo-jin in Korea.

Right then.

-♬♪

The cell phone in Joseph’s hand let out a loud ringtone. He flinched slightly and checked the person on the phone.

“!!”

His eyes immediately widened and he put the cell phone to his ear. English with a sense of urgency is a bonus.

“Woojin, I was waiting.”

Because the opponent was Kang Woo-jin.

A few days later, afternoon. Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi-do.

Kang Woo-jin took a photo shoot until after breakfast and lunch.

-Tung!

Arrived at Yeoncheon set complex for filming ‘Beneficial Evil’. Woojin was looking down at his cell phone with a serious look on his face.

“······”

A hot foreign news article that had just appeared was being printed on his cell phone screen.

『BBX/’Universal Movies’ new film, directed by master ‘Danny Landis’! This is the first time he has taken on a work that he did not write the script himself.

Kang Woo-jin laughed. Of course, inside.

‘Joseph, that guy is quick at getting things done.’
