Villain (2)

 

The first poster for ‘Pierrot: Birth of a Villain’ was unveiled on Columbia Studios’ official SNS.

-[Hello, this is Columbia Studios. We are releasing the first poster for ‘Pierrot: The Birth of a Villain’, which you have been curious about and which has also garnered much attention at the ‘Emmy Awards’. The actors and production team are all working hard to produce it. We are working hard to show you a good piece······]

Although various greetings were added, the core was the poster. Only one poster was revealed, and Miley Cara, who was running through downtown LA, also saw this poster.

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

It was true. Kara, holding the tablet in her hand, was amazed as soon as she saw the poster. It was radiating such strong energy.

‘I don’t think it’s that guy, I expected it to be a somewhat shocking mask – but this exceeded my expectations.’

She was looking at the first poster for ‘Pierrot: Birth of a Villain’ on her tablet for a moment.

-Ugh.

I asked the team members around me.

“What do you think of this poster?”

The answers came quickly.

“Is this a visual that is more groundbreaking than I expected?”

“The makeup is amazing, it’s creepy. If you didn’t tell me it was Kang Woo-jin, I wouldn’t recognize him.”

“It seems like the title had a clown in it, which was somewhat of a motif, but this poster, what can I say – isn’t it a bit scary?”

“It’s amazing that this crazy mask was created from Kang Woo-jin’s taciturn and cynical image.”

“I’ll catch your eye.”

“Right? I guess there’s also the performance that Kang Woo-jin did.”

There were various opinions, but overall, it felt like they were full of curiosity. Kara looked down at the tablet again while brushing her blonde hair.

“······I like it.”

The outrageous costumes and hair she wore to the ‘Emmy Awards’ parade were nothing more than a joke. The poster she was looking at was a first poster, a teaser or character poster. It was before the movie promotional posters came out.

That’s why only Kang Woo-jin was featured on the poster, without any other characters.

The background is a riot of red and blue, with black taking center stage. It looks like a city on fire at night. Kang Woo-jin’s upper body is embedded in that background.

Of course, his appearance was ‘Joker’, not ‘Henry Gordon’.

Long red hair reaching the chin is pulled back, and the face is pale. There are red dots on the eyebrows and the tip of the nose, and two sharp black squares are drawn in the eyes. The most overwhelming thing is the red lips drawn several times thicker. She is laughing heartily.

‘No, is that right to laugh?’

Although he has a blank expression, it is hard to tell whether he is smiling because of the makeup or because he is really smiling. The overall brightness of the poster is a bit dark, so it is hard to tell what Kang Woo-jin’s real lips are like. If we just look at the premise, it is correct that he is smiling brightly. He is already handsome visually, but his outfit is also unusual.

No one knows the name ‘Joker’ yet, but whatever it is, the face of ‘Joker’ has been revealed to the world.

Kara was looking at the poster.

“Did you say ‘terrible clown’?”

She recalled Kang Woo-jin’s interview at the ‘Emmy Awards’. And even his wild behavior, such as smoking a cigarette. Soon, her anticipation grew.

What will Kang Woo-jin show with this ‘villain’?

Kara, whose imagination was running wild, smiled for some reason and moved her fingers. She turned off the poster she was looking at and looked at the reactions to this post.

“Everyone feels the same way as I do.”

There were already a ton of comments coming in. In each country’s language, of course. Soon, Kara.

-Ugh.

He also shared the poster on his SNS.

After that.

The first poster for ‘Pierrot: The Birth of a Villain’, which was thrown into the world, quickly spread throughout Hollywood. From mouth to mouth. From finger to finger. Now, it’s time for ‘Beauty and the Beast’ to set its first shooting date.

“The poster is quite strong.”

“As expected, what was shown at the ‘Emmy Awards’ was just moderate.”

“Who can resist seeing this poster? Even Kang Woo-jin said, ‘Look at it or not.’”

“Yes, with this poster visual for that performance – I think I’ll watch it too.”

“It’s the birth of a villain, huh? Is Clown the first villain?”

“I’m a little jealous, but I’m sure our ‘Beast’ will be chosen with equally high quality.”

“When will we be shooting our pre-poster?”

“It’ll be soon, right before the first shoot.”

The ‘John Persona’ camp was in an uproar. In particular, Hollywood big shot director Danny Landis was very vocal. Joseph Felton was the one who was making the noise.

“The mask is amazing. I’ve only seen the first poster, but this is the first time I’ve seen something that makes me want to see the movie.”

“······The costumes and appearance at the ‘Emmy Awards’ were surprising – but it’s surprising that a mere first poster has become such a hot topic.”

“Shouldn’t we learn too?”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

“Anyway, this ‘Pierrot: Birth of a Villain’ is going to have a ton of firepower in the beginning. Just look at how busy the media and public opinion are talking about it.”

That’s exactly what happened. The first poster for ‘Pierrot: Birth of a Villain’ sold out at a crazy rate as soon as it was released.

It was a little crazy.

-This truly seems like a masterpiece

-If you add this makeup and Kang Woo-jin’s acting skills…what kind of movie will be born…?

-I met a terrible clownㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I’m really curious about overseas kids’ reactions lol

Naturally, entertainment media all over the world, including Japan, spread the posters. Thanks to this, on the 12th, a day later, the first poster for ‘Pierrot: Birth of a Villain’ was easy to find on the internet and in various media outlets.

At this moment, Kang Woo-jin.

‘Oh, sir. It’s good that the movie is being promoted well, but it seems a bit embarrassing to have my face spread all over the world? Even if it’s the Joker’s face.’

While moving to the filming location, he was checking out the world’s reactions. It wasn’t just him, but all the team members in the van were the same. Some were looking at Korea, some at Japan, some at Hollywood. Among them, Kang Woo-jin pretended not to notice, but was looking through the huge overseas community called ‘Nedit’.

Here too, the face of ‘Joker’ was everywhere.

and.

‘What? Is it that shocking? What- ‘Joker’s’ face is not ordinary.’

The English comments that were running in a frightening manner were mostly expressing shock or fear. There were also comments that said monster. Of course, there were many malicious comments with a lot of swear words, but what can I do? Woojin looked at the reactions of the overseas public as if nothing happened. Then he could feel it.

‘What I’m looking at is probably just a grain of rice?’

It means that something huge is going on. ‘Pierrot: Birth of a Villain’ will be released not only in Korea and the US, but also all over the world, and its rating was recently raised to EX+++.

‘The first EX-class ‘Beneficial Evil’ is a global hit and winner of 6 ‘Emmy Awards’

How much more destructive is ‘Pierrot: The Birth of a Villain’, which is three levels higher than that? Just looking at ‘Leech’ alone, it had 30 million viewers in Korea and Japan combined. That alone earned it crazy income and influence. However, this ‘Pierrot’ was on a completely different level from ‘Leech’.

‘To be honest, I can’t imagine.’

Worldwide release. It is difficult for anyone to easily estimate whether their film will be released worldwide. Kang Woo-jin was the same.

Around here.

“Woojin.”

Choi Sung-geon, the man in the passenger seat with the long hair, turned around and pointed behind Woo-jin.

“Look behind you, do you see the vans following you?”

“yes.”

“You’ve been following me since a while ago? I’m 100% following you to take a picture of you.”

Take a picture of me? Choi Sung-geon answered Woo-jin, who was tilting his head inwardly.

“That is, paparazzi. Proof that you have become a full-fledged Hollywood star.”

Two days later, the 14th. Morning.

The location was LA’s 50,000-square-foot ‘SPT Studios’. Dozens of people were moving around this massive set where ‘Beauty and the Beast’ was filmed. The leader of the group was director Bill Lautner, wearing black horn-rimmed glasses.

In a word, it’s a ‘Beauty and the Beast’ team.

Director Bill Lautner and his crew were taking a final look at the completed set, and while they were at it, they also checked out the scenes and compositions from the in-progress shooting storyboard.

“I need to get some breathing room with the extras for this ‘Bella the Beauty’ town set in advance.”

“It’s a bit wide, so if you do it wrong, the path will get tangled.”

“Well, it’s important. It needs quite a bit of rehearsal, so tell the actors.”

“All right.”

The teams that had been circling the set for several dozen minutes arrived at a place that was clearly in front of a magnificent castle. Director Bill Lautner, who was imagining that the art and other things were not yet perfect, would soon be decorated, stroked his chin. Then he stood in front of a large tree right in front of the castle.

‘If you hold it like the castle entrance, the picture will come out well.’

He spoke to the staff next to him.

“The character posters would be good here. And for ‘The Beast,’ take pictures of both the ‘Prince’ and the ‘Beast.’”

After the poster and other details were confirmed, the “Beauty and the Beast” team returned to the set. Soon, the producer spoke to director Bill Lautner.

“Then I will tell the actors about the first day of filming.”

Director Bill Lautner nodded and muttered quietly to himself.

“First filming on September 1st, only two weeks left already.”

At the same time, ‘Columbia Studios’.

A medium-sized conference room in the main building, not a filming set. Familiar foreign figures are gathered. Director Ahn Ga-bok with a wrinkled face, executive producer Nora Foster on the other side, and several employees and executives from Columbia Studios. It wasn’t that there was no filming for ‘Clown: The Birth of a Villain’ today. Standby time is from noon.

This meeting was held monthly and was a place to share progress and any unusual points.

There are many different stories being told.

The actors’ condition, problems on set, both big and small, things to prepare, etc. At that time, one of the executives, a bald executive, asked Director Ahn Ga-bok.

“Will filming start as originally scheduled?”

Director Ahn Ga-bok seemed to think for a moment and then answered.

“I think it will be faster than that.”

“Oh- that sounds good.”

Then, director Ahn Ga-bok asked back.

“I wonder if you’ve finalized casting for Kang Woo-jin in your follow-up works regarding your ‘cinematic universe’.”

“······”

The bald executive, who had been silent for a moment, exchanged glances with the executives around him and then let out a small breath.

“I’m trying.”

Director Ahn Ga-bok, who had been staring at the executives for a moment, muttered to himself.

‘It won’t be easy. Woojin’s price tag is like that, and that kid won’t move at all unless he sees the scenario.’

Director Ahn Ga-bok opens his mouth again.

“Have you decided on the release date for ‘Pierrot: Birth of a Villain’?”

“Considering the worldwide release, promotional marketing, editing of the work, etc., I am looking at the second half of next year for now.”

“Second half of next year-”

Director Ahn Ga-bok, who was wiping his wrinkled cheeks, suddenly recalled the past. It was Kang Woo-jin’s acceptance speech at the ‘Emmy Awards’.

“Is ‘Pierrot: Birth of a Villain’ really just the beginning of a ‘cinematic universe’?”

“What is that?”

“I’m asking if you have any intention of aiming for an Academy Award.”

There was a bit of a stir among the foreigners in the conference room. But it was quickly sorted out, and this time, the answer was given by a bald executive.

“Every film produced in Hollywood naturally hopes to be nominated for an Academy Award. So does our film. The Academy Awards, which will be held in April next year, are difficult to appoint in due time, but we should aim for an Academy Award the following year after the film is released in the second half of next year.”

“I think a little differently.”

“Huh? Do you think differently?”

Director Ahn Ga-bok continued speaking, recalling Kang Woo-jin’s ‘Joker’ that he had seen while filming.

“I am confident that I should aim for this year’s ‘Academy Award.’”
