Villain (1)

 

Kang Woo-jin, standing in the completely dark subspace, was smiling.

“Haha, right. Sounds good.”

Standing in front of a white square, he sees Hollywood films that have risen in popularity. In particular, what catches Kang Woo-jin’s eye is ‘Pierrot: The Birth of a Villain’.

-[11/Scenario (Title: ‘Pierrot: Birth of a Villain’), EX+++ Grade]

EX+++ grade? Was it two levels higher than the original EX+ grade? The EX+ grade was already a huge hit, so how crazy could it be? Kang Woo-jin’s heart raced as he looked at the upgraded grade of ‘Pierrot: Birth of a Villain’. And he thought.

“As expected – the red carpet performance was a success, right?”

Kang Woo-jin walking the red carpet for ‘Joker’.

This shocked tens of thousands of people at the ‘Emmy Awards’. Of course, the audience watching live around the world must have been the same. Kang Woo-jin’s comment was, ‘This is the villain, watch or not.’ Kang Woo-jin’s influence in Hollywood is already enormous, so when he dropped a nuclear bomb on the aggro that was properly drawn, curiosity exploded.

“Even I can’t stand it.”

That performance must have been a huge hit. In addition, the fact that Woojin won the Emmy Award for Best Actor this time must have played a part. In other words, Kang Woojin’s power, performance, and Best Actor Award became a trinity, and it was a firecracker.

The result.

“The grade has gone up.”

It came out as an outrageous EX+++ level.

‘But is EX+++ the last? Or do you get more +’s as you go up the ranks?’

Well, it didn’t matter which way it was. There might be a higher level, or this level might be the last. Woojin, who had a subspace, just enjoyed it. Then his eyes moved to other works.

“‘Beauty and the Beast’ is EX+ class, ‘John ​​Persona’ is SSS+ class.”

Both works went up one level. This was clearly a trickle-down effect from the ‘Pierrot: Birth of a Villain’ and the ‘Emmy’ male lead award. Above all, the range of grades for ‘John Persona’ is rising steeply. It started out as an S-grade and has now jumped to an SSS+ grade. Of course, we can’t be certain about all the works yet.

There is always a possibility that something will happen at any time, so to speak, causing a crash.

still.

“That was then. Just enjoy it for now, hehe.”

Woojin had the mindset that he would deal with things later. He danced his shoulders excitedly. Anyone would do the same if they saw this amazing result sheet. Kang Woojin, who had been shaking quite a bit, suddenly lay down. He had to conserve his stamina to endure the long journey ahead.

How much time has passed since then?

After lying down for a while, Woojin suddenly got up.

“S-Should I go out?”

He returned to a reality full of his own name.

after.

Kang Woo-jin, who returned to reality, worked on the remaining ‘Emmy Awards’ schedule. It was mostly a wrap-up, but he also had to conduct interviews with the remaining broadcasting team and reporters.

together.

“Hahaha, congratulations, Woojin! I really want to talk to you next time.”

“thank you.”

“Is the agency representative here?”

I had to talk to directors, producers, production companies, and other people countless times. And that’s not all? Hollywood actors and actors from all over the world also flocked to Kang Woo-jin. They shook hands, greeted him, took pictures, and exchanged SNS messages. It was past 2 a.m., but everyone was in good spirits.

At this moment, the live broadcast of the ‘Emmy Awards’ had stopped, but the chat window was still alive. Various languages ​​from around the world were coming up like crazy.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋCrazyㅋㅋㅋㅋ Seriously, Kang Woojin won the male lead awardㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Wow!! Honestly, I can’t believe Kang Woo-jin won the Best Actor Award??

-It’s also surprising that a beneficial evil has achieved six crowns.

-There must have been some kind of deal! The chances of Kang Woojin receiving it were the lowest!

-Stop it. I gave him the Emmy for Best Actor because he deserves it.

-No…Wow…I’m seriously so touched by Kang Woojin…..The six crowns of Beneficial Evil! Congratulations to Kang Woojinㅜㅠㅜㅠㅜㅠㅜㅠㅠ

-It must be an exciting night for Koreans, but it looks like they are already excited.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Did Kang Woo Jin imitate all the Hollywood actors??

– I’m more curious about Kang Woo-jin’s villain. He won the male lead award at the Emmy Awards after Cannes, so it’s bound to be different.

-Ugh!! My patriotism is rising!! Flutter!!!

-What the hell did Kang Woo-jin do to Hollywood??

It was a surprising result for everyone.

Anyway, it was around 4AM when Kang Woo-jin arrived home in LA after finishing his schedule for the ‘Emmy Awards’. As soon as he arrived, he took off the tuxedo jacket he was wearing and threw himself on the bed.

“Ah!”

Thanks to the subspace, I didn’t fall asleep, but my body felt heavy. Thanks to Director Ahn Ga-bok’s consideration, I was able to rest today without filming since the morning dawned, so Kang Woo-jin, who was lying on the bed, slowly picked up his phone and turned it on. It was full of messages, texts, and DMs. Since I had just talked to my family, I could check the rest of the contacts after sleeping.

-Ugh.

The internet that Kang Woo-jin accessed was on the Korean side. What can I say? Korea was already full of ‘beneficial evil’ and Kang Woo-jin.

The articles were being published endlessly.

The corners of Kang Woo-jin’s mouth went up as he lay on his side.

“Hehehe, this mulberry flavor is something you can never get tired of no matter how many times you look at it.”

Also, his thumb moving the screen becomes faster.

Korean portal sites, various cafes, blogs, communities, etc. were all going crazy over Kang Woo-jin and ‘Benefit Evil’. Woo-jin’s eyes, who was lying down and watching this delightful and thrilling scene, slowly closed. He had fallen asleep without realizing it.

But Korea, and the world, were in chaos even at dawn when he was asleep, and until the morning.

From the moment the ‘Emmy Awards’ ended, Korea, Japan, Hollywood, no, the entire world including the US, were frantically reporting on the ‘Emmy Awards’ that had a twist. No matter where you went, aside from the press, various media, YouTube, and SNS, Kang Woo-jin and ‘Beneficial Evil’ were all the rage.

Kang Woo-jin was particularly bad.

Praise and heroism soared to the sky. From the moment the Emmy Awards ended, until August 3, about two days later, the firepower grew several times larger rather than diminishing.

In addition, the ‘Academy Award’ that Kang Woo-jin spat out and the ‘Joker’ performance bait were also heating up the global community. While everyone was consuming Woo-jin like crazy, Kang Woo-jin, who had finished his break, returned to the filming set of ‘Pierrot: Birth of a Villain’.

“hello.”

Soon, about a hundred staff members and actors rushed in.

“Wow!! Mr. Kang Woojin!! Congratulations!”

“Hey- the Best Actor award winner is here!! Do you know that Hollywood is going crazy over Woojin right now?! Congratulations!”

“It’s so great! I’m so happy that our lead actor won an award!

“Best Actor is a Best Actor award! His performance in ‘Joker’ was killer!!”

“Hahaha, that’s right. Actually, wasn’t this year’s ‘Emmy Awards’ an awards ceremony for Woojin?!”

The outpouring of congratulations and cheers. It was deserved. It was good that Kang Woo-jin’s status had risen, but it is not common for an actor to win the ‘Emmy’ Best Actor Award while filming a work. This was a win-win for both Kang Woo-jin and ‘Joker’. After being congratulated by foreign staff for a while, Director Ahn Ga-bok and Producer Nora approached Woo-jin. It was not just the two of them, but also executives from ‘Columbia Studio’.

Among them, director Ahn Ga-bok opened the floodgates.

“Congratulations on your award, and your performance of ‘Joker’ was really great. I heard Columbia’s SNS was paralyzed on the day.”

It was indeed so. The Columbia executives came to express their gratitude accordingly. It would be difficult to achieve this level of publicity even if hundreds of millions were spent. Soon, all the executives, starting with Nora, shook Woojin’s hand and expressed their sincere gratitude.

“Thank you for being such a great force in our ‘cinematic universe.’”

Woojin nodded indifferently.

“yes.”

The executives who were leaving the scene all had the same thoughts.

“If this is the case, we will have to raise his price even higher.”

If another actor were to play the Joker.

“Of course, let’s check the completed proposal again.”

Because I didn’t know that a global rebellion would break out.

August 8th.

About a week has passed since the Emmy Awards ended. However, the Emmy Awards still had a great impact. Media outlets around the world threw out new stories every day, and behind-the-scenes videos of the Emmy Awards were circulating on YouTube and SNS.

Especially, if ‘Kang Woo-jin’ is added to the title, it easily gets 1 million views.

Regardless, Kang Woo-jin once again devoted himself to filming. In addition to advertisements, interviews, and TV appearances, meetings were piling up like a nuclear bomb, but they had to be postponed.

Filming was more urgent right now. ‘Pierrot: The Birth of a Villain’ was in its second half, and the first filming of ‘Beauty and the Beast’ was also imminent. This means that there was no time to focus on other schedules.

Meanwhile, the ‘Beneficial Evil’ team, excluding Woojin.

『[Issue Pick] ‘Emmy Award’ 6-Crown ‘Beneficial Evil’ Team, Appears as a Group on an American Talk Show!』

Continuing to work on the remaining schedule in Hollywood, late in the afternoon today, the 8th.

『[On-site photo] US Emmy Awards accepted… ‘Beneficial Evil’ team, PD Song Man-woo, etc. return to Korea in glory! / Photo』

They returned to Korea with golden trophies. There were hundreds of articles to welcome them, and many onlookers gathered to welcome the ‘Benefit Evil’ team. The ‘Benefit Evil’ team had many schedules in Hollywood, but there were many places in Korea that looked for them. In particular, various entertainment programs were drooling.

However, PD Song Man-woo, who received the Best Director Award.

“PD, are you going straight to the editing room?? It would be okay if you rested for a bit.”

“No way. If we do something about the chaos we’ve caused in the world, the welcome we’ve received now will turn into curses and we’ll be stuck.”

“That’s true, but please eat before you go.”

“I’ll go and eat, go.”

Similar to Kang Woo-jin, he was in work mode right away. The editing of Part 2 of ‘Beneficial Evil’ was almost finished, and he planned to give it a solid finish and hand it over to Netflix within a few days.

A few days later.

Late morning. The place is a large editing room of DM Production. PD Song Man-woo is seen locked in the editing room as soon as he returned to Korea. Unlike a few days ago when he was clean, he now has a beard and messy hair, and looks quite like a loser.

“Ahhhh!”

He had been staring at the monitor for a while, but suddenly he stretched and looked up at the ceiling, mumbling softly.

“It’s over-”

The editing for Part 2 of ‘Beneficial Evil’ was finished. He looked down at Kang Woo-jin on the monitor and chuckled.

“It seems like only yesterday that he was filming The Outlaws, and now he’s the Hollywood Emmy Award-winning actor.”

At this time.

-Wow.

His phone vibrated briefly twice. He checked and it was a message from Director Kim So-hyang.

“Are you a ghost? You sent me a message right after I finished editing? Where did you see this??”

Surprised, he checked the contents. However, it was not about editing.

-Director Kim So-hyang: PD, Woo-jin, have you seen that Hollywood ‘Pierrot’ movie poster? I think it just came out.

-Director Kim So-hyang: (Photo)

-Director Kim So-hyang: The mood is crazy.

PD Song Man-woo opened the photo file she sent and his eyes widened slightly in surprise.

“······Hey, this is crazy??”

Meanwhile, in LA.

It was morning in Korea, but here it was afternoon. Hollywood downtown, packed with cars. Two large vans were running between them. Among them, blonde Miley Cara was seen in the van in front. Unlike PD Song Man-woo, she was looking at the tablet screen, but the picture displayed on the screen was the same.

‘Pierrot: Birth of a Villain 1st Poster-‘

Kara, who was quietly looking at Kang Woo-jin’s pale face that filled the screen, smiled faintly. There was a mixture of admiration.

“Is this the villain? His visuals are killer.”

The face of ‘Joker’ has been revealed to the world for the first time.
