Joker (9)

 

Will ‘Joker’ walk the ‘Emmy Awards’ red carpet? Kang Woo-jin recognized Director Ahn Ga-bok’s answer.

‘Oh – I guess ‘Columbia Studios’ gave the OK?’

Honestly, it was unexpected. No, should I say that I didn’t have high expectations? In the past, depending on the situation, they had pushed for it with quite a bit of force, but there was opposition from executive producer Nora Foster, so would this really work? Because I wanted to. The scope of the ‘Emmy Awards’ was enormous, and Kang Woo-jin knew well that it would be crazy to go there for ‘Joker’.

However, ‘Columbia Studios’ went along with the crazy act.

‘Well, I like it because it’s a cool movie studio.’

If this happens, is it only Nora’s poster that has become new? Well, she must have been worried about ‘Cierrot: Birth of a Villain’ in her own way. ‘Cinematic Universe’ too. Everyone can’t have the same thoughts. Anyway, Woojin became quite happy, but she maintained her dignity on the outside.

“Is that so?”

In response to the short answer, Director Ang Bok smiled slightly over the phone.

“Hehe, it was a pretty big deal, but as expected, the reaction was calm. “I’m showing the world the first teaser of ‘Joker’ in real life, and I’m getting more and more excited.”

“So do i.”

“okay. Let’s say so. Instead, ‘Columbia Studios’ only allowed the parts you mentioned, including the ‘Joker’ costume and hair. Anything more than that must be kept secret. “Even the title and content of the movie.”

Kang Woo-jin nodded as if it was obvious.

“I guess so.”

“However, even though I went out so confidently, I had to say nothing to the barrage of questions – so I think it’s okay to say that I am the villain who opened the ‘Cinematic Universe’ related to ‘Clierrot: Birth of a Villain.’”

In other words, stop at the section that sparks your curiosity. Of course, Kang Woo-jin had no intention of doing anything more than that. Anything more than that would make it look frivolous and light.

“Yes, I understand, Director.”

Director Gabok Ang, who was silent for a moment after Woojin’s answer, spoke.

“······I’m looking forward to the reactions of everyone who saw the teaser for ‘Joker.’”

Director Ga-bok Ang, who conveyed his sincerity, continued to add more words and then hung up. Kang Woo-jin slowly put down his phone and imagined the upcoming ‘Emmy Awards’. He is even called the ‘Academy Award’ of the broadcasting world. Even just thinking about it, it was obvious that it would be larger than the Cannes Film Festival, and according to Woojin’s search, it was an awards ceremony at least twice as large.

Then suddenly.

“Wow, I’ve definitely changed a bit.”

Kang Woo-jin was once again shocked by his own change. In the past, I would have done my best to maintain the concept while my heart was beating like crazy, but now I am focusing on performance and even fun. Well, Kang Woo-jin, who is still a good character, was not without wonder or tension, but the three years and ‘subspace’ definitely changed him.

Perhaps it will grow even more as time passes.

Following.

-Sigh.

Kang Woo-jin, with a smile on his face, picked up his cell phone again. It was to call Choi Seong-geon, whom I would meet soon.

“Representative, please prepare one identical to the ‘Joker’ costume.”

About an hour later.

Kang Woo-jin got into a large van to travel between schedules. The team members in the car, including Choi Seong-gun and Han Ye-jeong, all had flushed faces.

“brother! Are you really allowed to go to the ‘Emmy Awards’ in a ‘Joker’ costume??!”

The stylist team was especially excited. Of course, everyone was thinking of a tuxedo or suit from a luxury brand. Then, as soon as the car started, Han Ye-jeong, with her blue bobbed hair, asked Kang Woo-jin.

“Then we can prepare two things: a ‘Joker’ costume and a tuxedo, right?”

“that’s right.”

Choi Seong-geon, the ponytail sitting in the passenger seat, joined in.

“The ‘Joker’ costume communicates with the costume team for ‘Clierrot: Birth of a Villain.’ But there will probably be a spare, so you can just take it. “There’s nothing more to decorate.”

After Han Ye-jeong nodded, the topic of the noisy team members changed. Explosions related to ‘Tonight Show’.

『LA TIME/‘Tonight Show’ appearance Kang Woo-jin declares, “I’m not even considering other ‘Emmy Award’ nominees”』

They were knights.

“You must be crazy, this article is so popular!”

“It’s worth it! “Woojin oppa declared it himself!”

“But didn’t I go a little too hard?? “I’m worried, there have already been a lot of malicious comments.”

“Are these reporters really determined to bite??”

For a moment, Kang Woo-jin recalled what he said on ‘The Tonight Show’ a few days ago.

‘I have no intention of looking around.’

Damn it, it’s been a while since I was wrong.

I’m just saying things like my aspirations and greed with a concept in mind. But Hollywood made its own judgment and conclusion. It’s probably the result of Kang Woo-jin’s arrogance or ‘suck my way’ image already melting in to some extent. It 100% starts with Nopaku’s acceptance speech at the Cannes Film Festival. The build-up has come to this point.

Whatever it was, Kang Woo-jin pretended not to be and checked the foreign news articles that were coming out even at this moment.

『BBX/’Emmy Award’ Best Actor nominee Kang Woo-jin, a check aimed at other nominated actors on ‘The Tonight Show’』

『ABY/“I have no intention of looking around”, Kang Woo-jin’s powerful statement』

『NT/Kang Woo-jin, who doesn’t even care about the other nominated actors, is it confidence or bravery?』

Articles were pouring in like a half-crazy person. Is that it? Various overseas communities are already chewing, tearing, and enjoying the topic of Kang Woo-jin.

-I think it’s too arrogant to say that you don’t even care about the other nominated actors.

– Kang Woo-jin seems half crazy. He’s made comments ignoring the Academy Awards before, right?

-You’re intoxicated because you’re making quite a name for yourself in Hollywood.

-I like his character, he really seems like a crazy guy who doesn’t care about what others think.

-This is just short-thinking, I already learned a lot of words.

-But Kang Woo-jin’s acting in Beneficial Evil is definitely impressive, and of course the action is also impressive.

-As a Korean actor, you have to have this much courage to stand alone.

-What kind of guts is this? It’s just a fool

There is no mud. Kang Woo-jin looked at his cell phone screen with a deep indifference, but inside he was quite grumpy.

‘No, Mr. When did I say I wasn’t even paying attention?? uh? when?’

At this time, Seong-geon Choi, who was also monitoring on his cell phone, spoke to Woo-jin.

“Hmm, well, it’s as noisy as expected. “It’s coming out just as you wanted.”

“······”

“But it’s a little too noisy. “How can I write a corrective article?”

Kang Woo-jin sighed inwardly at the question and strengthened his appearance.

“No, I’ll leave it alone.”

There is no point in picking it up now.

after.

Kang Woo-jin, who finished filming for YouTube in the morning, arrived at the filming set of ‘Cliller: Birth of a Villain’ a little after noon. When Woo-jin arrived, foreign key staff members flocked in, starting with director Ga-bok Ang. What could it be? It was because of the issue of Kang Woo-jin that is currently engulfing Hollywood.

Kang Woo-jin was held captive by them for more than 30 minutes.

‘I’m already tired, wow. I can’t do it. I’ll have to tighten it up a bit.’

As soon as he entered the trailer, Kang Woo-jin used the subspace. Subspace was still peaceful. After getting enough rest, he started filming right away.

“action”

For reference, it has already been 3 weeks since filming ‘Cierrot: Birth of a Villain’. Therefore, in the filming of Kang Woo-jin’s solo scene, the number of cuts of other actors gradually increased, and thanks to this, Woo-jin’s filming time was reduced or his waiting time increased. However, scenes featuring Kang Woo-jin and other actors will soon be added.

That included Chris Hartnett.

Director Gabok Ang deliberately planned the filming story like that. Until August, most of the filming is done on set, so there are a lot of solo cuts for the actors, and from then on, location (outdoor) filming is combined, so the number of two-shots or group shots increases.

Forgetting about the morning’s issues, Kang Woo-jin soon concentrated on filming.

That’s it for others.

“Wow, Woojin, you set off such a big bomb and you don’t seem to care at all? “There is no shaking at all.”

“It really looks like you don’t care.”

“Anyway, one character is unique.”

“That’s how explosive his star power is, honestly, I’ve never seen an actor who turns Hollywood around like this every other day.”

It didn’t seem resolute or unusual.

Two days have passed since then, but Kang Woo-jin’s posture has not changed. This happened so often that I quickly forgot about it. However, overseas media and public opinion became even more heated. Hollywood actors and other figures were also busy talking about Kang Woo-jin.

In particular, the reactions of other candidates for the ‘Emmy Award’ for Best Actor mentioned by Woojin were interesting. 4 people excluding Kang Woo-jin.

Some people were taken aback.

“Every time I see this statement, it’s outrageous. How can someone make something like this less than a year after entering Hollywood?”

“Don’t worry about it, it’s probably just a game of nerves.”

Some people were overly angry.

“What the hell is this, you bastard! what? Are there no other candidates in mind?? I’ve never seen such a cocky guy! Shoot the article targeting him right now! “I don’t care about you, either!”

On the other hand, someone recognizes Kang Woo-jin.

“Kang Woo-jin appears to have an eccentric personality at first glance, but he has abilities and skills that make up for it. His acting and actions in ‘Beneficial Evil’ were also amazing. “There’s a reason Hollywood’s ‘Big Five’ film companies are rushing in, I want to become friends, right?”

I just laughed out loud.

“ha ha ha! “Is this guy really a fool??”

Like this, June ended with Hollywood heating up and July dawned.

Friday, July 1st.

However, even as July began, Hollywood did not remain quiet. Around this time, something incredible was being completed at ‘spt studio’, a 50,000 pyeong set in LA. Hundreds of foreigners were busy working on the construction.

It was a huge set for ‘The Beast and Beauty.’

On such a set, an old foreign man with half a bald head and black horn-rimmed glasses on the tip of his nose appeared. It was Bill Lautner, director of ‘Beast and Beauty.’ Of course, there were several key staff behind him.

“egg plant.”

Director Bill Lautner entered a world of huge sets that at first glance resembled a fantasy world. It begins with a place that looks like a town from the past, not modern times. Here, director Bill Lautner thought of ‘Beautiful Bella’. Next was the castle. It feels quite grand at first glance. Director Bill Lautner reminds us of ‘The Beast’ and ‘The Prince’ here.

“······Good.”

Now, he and the foreign key staff were on their way to the final inspection of the almost completed and frighteningly large set of ‘Beast and Beauty’. Everything has already been completed except for the set during the pre-production stage.

This means that as soon as the set is completed, it moves on to the next step.

Director Bill Lautner and the key staff toured the set, which was in the final stages of construction, for about an hour.

We did not forget to give instructions regarding any missing items, and the final destination of the inspection was a large banquet hall with a piano. The place where Kang Woo-jin’s audition took place. The banquet hall became several times more luxurious than then. Various patterns on the pillars and floor became clearer, and the chandelier on the ceiling also increased in size. Additionally, many silk fabrics were attached.

What’s unusual is.

“Hmm, that setup is going well.”

As director Bill Lautner said, a L-shaped desk was placed in the center of the banquet hall in front of a piano with colorful golden patterns. Even the chairs placed were not modern, but had a design that matched the banquet hall of this fantasy world. There are enough chairs to comfortably seat 30 people. At first glance, I thought it was an additional production added to the set banquet hall, but it wasn’t.

Those desks and chairs.

“Looking at it like that, it doesn’t seem like preparation for a ‘script reading,’ but rather like things that were originally in this banquet hall.”

It was installed for the script reading of ‘The Beast and Beauty’. In other words, the script reading venue for ‘The Beast and Beauty’ was this set banquet hall. Director Bill Lautner was briefly reminded of actors such as Kang Woo-jin, Miley Cara, and Maria Armas who would be sitting at that desk.

-Sigh.

I spoke to the production crew behind me.

“Let’s deliver this to the actors on the day of the final script reading.”
