Prologue (3)

 

-[‘Pierrot: The Birth of a Villain’ will be pre-released on February 9th in 33 theaters in LA and New York. The release period is about 2 weeks. Of course, the worldwide release schedule will be carried out after the ‘Academy Awards’ schedule is completed. We at ‘Columbia Studios’ are trying various challenges, and your support is a great help. Thank you.]

‘Columbia Studios’ strongly expressed its challenge for ‘Cinematic Universe’ and ‘Academy Awards’ along with the pre-release date of ‘Clown: Birth of a Villain’ on February 9th. In addition, it uploaded the locations and information of 33 movie theaters in LA and New York.

With this, all information related to the pre-release of ‘Pierrot’ has been released.

Of course, this announcement is just the beginning. Columbia Studios had already set a tight promotional marketing schedule for Clown: The Birth of a Villain before the pre-release. Even though it was a pre-release in 33 theaters, this was also a move that required money, and the results had to be good no matter what.

Although the beginning was meant to achieve the conditions for an ‘Academy Award’, the short two-week pre-release period was also a preliminary check of the overall box office performance of ‘Pierrot: Birth of a Villain’.

At that time, the audience and experts’ evaluations, indicators of performance, word of mouth, topicality, etc.

If the pre-release does well, it will naturally have a good wind of ‘Academy Award’ and will have an effect on the future worldwide release. Therefore, ‘Columbia Studio’ had to put a lot of effort into this pre-release. Whatever it was, this announcement through the official SNS was quickly met with a flood of responses. Numerous languages ​​around the world, including Korean and English, are popular.

-Pre-release? This is being released first due to the Academy Award requirements.

-Why is it only opening in LA and New York!! And 33 theaters is too few?? Damn it! I give up.

-This movie is the first movie in a cinematic universe planned by Columbia, right? But it starts off strangely, and for some reason, it feels like it’s going to fail.

-Great! One of the 33 theaters is close to my house!!

-Hey Columbia, do you really, truly believe that Kang Woo-jin can do something at the Academy Awards?

-I’m curious, but… going all the way to LA to see a movie… is too much.

-How on earth did the movie get picked? If the trailer is all there is to it, it’s not worth watching.

-Open reservations now! Reserve right away!!

-When you watch the movie in advance, you’ll be able to tell whether Kang Woo-jin will be criticized or applauded at the Oscars.

At this moment, Woojin Kang met the team of the movie ‘Guest’. Jennifer Thurman, the CEO of ‘A8 Media’, stared blankly for a moment at Woojin Kang, who was the center of everyone’s attention, as she saw him in person for the first time.

“ah.”

Suddenly coming to his senses, he reached out to Kang Woo-jin.

“First time seeing you? Nice to meet you, Jennifer Thurman from A8 Media.”

Woojin, with a poker face, grabbed her hand.

“This is Kang Woo-jin.”

A low, heavy voice brushed Jennifer’s ears.

‘Wow, you’re a lot more cynical than I thought. You also have a bit of a rough aura.’

Kang Woo-jin was looking at her and was excited. Of course, inwardly.

‘You’re really tall. You’re almost as tall as me??! You’re tall. Anyway, everyone in America is tall.’

After a brief moment of misunderstanding, Miley Cara, the hostess of ‘Guest’, suddenly appeared on Woojin.

“You are last.”

“I arrived on time.”

Chris Hartnett followed with a smile and put his hand on Kang Woo-jin’s shoulder.

“Miley, you hold on, Kang Woojin is such a star, right? By the way, Woojin. You said you weren’t sure if you’d come or not, but you came.”

“Because the timing is right.”

Here Miley Cara suddenly furrowed her brow.

“Isn’t it easier for the two of you to talk? Why did you become so close?”

Chris shrugged.

“Woojin and I are friends both in ‘Pierrot’ and in real life.”

The blonde Kara, who had been glaring at Chris Hartnett for a moment, spoke to Kang Woo-jin.

“Make yourself at ease with me too.”

Kang Woojin almost lost his concept when he saw Kara’s serious face, whether it was because she was upset or not. He barely found his tone and answered nonchalantly.

“I do not care.”

“Damn, I don’t like the fact that it got easier later than Chris.”

“Hey hey Miley, are you being harsh?”

Three actors talking without hesitation. Kang Woo-jin’s appearance mixed with Hollywood’s top stars was not so strange. In addition, the director and staff of ‘Guest’ surrounded Kang Woo-jin and joined in the atmosphere. Jennifer Thurman was quietly watching this. A freckled male employee approached her with a big smile on his face and asked her.

“······CEO, this is a special appearance, but what’s with the atmosphere? It looks like Kang Woo-jin is the lead actor.”

Jennifer, who was smiling, answered while looking at Kang Woo-jin standing in the middle of Hollywood big names.

“That’s influence and control, the power to attract powerful people without having to do anything.”

Jennifer Thurman, who had been watching the situation for several dozen minutes, made everyone sit down. Soon, the square table was filled with big names, and the movie ‘Guest’ was ready to roll with these people.

and.

“Woojin.”

Choi Sung-geon whispered to Kang Woo-jin.

“Columbia announced the opening day of ‘Pierrot.’”

“···Is that so?”

“Oh, oh. Judging from the comments, it’s a mess. Anyway.”

Choi Sung-geon, who was shaking his head, added.

“I also sent the plane tickets to your family.”

after.

‘Pierrot: Birth of a Villain’, which made its official announcement, is receiving much attention not only in Hollywood but also in the United States.

『BBX/Columbia, which has thrown down the gauntlet for the ‘Academy Award’, announces the pre-release date of ‘Pierrot: The Birth of a Villain’!』

Korea, Japan, etc.

『[Breaking News] Kang Woo-jin’s ‘Pierrot: The Birth of a Villain’ to Aim for an ‘Academy Award’, Pre-Released in 33 Theaters in LA and New York on February 9th』

The news spread quickly globally. Naturally, Korea reacted rapidly.

-Ah!! Ouch!!! Please release it in Korea too!! Please!!!

-Ha….I’m dying….I’m buying a flight to LA right now!!!

-It’s really special if it’s released before the Academy Awardsㅋㅋㅋ

-But what happens if the film is released first and then fails to get nominated for an Academy Award?

-What the heck?ㅋㅋㅋㅋIt just gets messed up

Hollywood and the world public were even more noisy. Thanks to this, the pre-release promotion of ‘Pierrot’ went smoothly, but ‘Columbia Studio’ did not let its guard down and the next day.

They boosted their promotions by releasing additional trailers and releasing several unreleased trailers.

For a few days, Hollywood was filled with ‘Clown: Birth of a Villain’. But then another issue broke out and another movie was right behind ‘Clown’.

『LA TIME/Miley Cara, Chris Hartnett to Team Up in Next Film!』

It was the movie ‘Guest’. News has it that Miley Cara and Chris Hartnett, who have a close relationship with Kang Woo-jin and recently finished filming a movie, have been confirmed as the top two. There was already quite a bit of noise about Kang Woo-jin, but with Cara and Hartnett suddenly being cast as the lead roles, attention is bound to be focused.

Korea did more than Hollywood.

-No way! Miley Cara and Chris Hartnett are the leads? This is real!

-Wow….This is crazy….It’s also a bit strange that BW Entertainment is the main investor…and the top tier Hollywood stars are cast as the main characters…

-Dorat! This is 100% related to Kang Woo-jin. Kara was originally close and Hartnett seems to have become close through this Pierrot

-Let’s go, detective agency!!!

-↑It’s not a detective agency, it’s a guest Hollywood remake

-No! If the guest stars do well, Kang Woojin or BW will be more popular.

It was natural that two world-class top stars were suddenly cast as the lead roles.

‘Guest’ itself is a Hollywood production, but since the original work is Kang Woo-jin’s ‘Detective Agency’ and the main investor is BW Entertainment, this issue was immediately introduced in domestic news. Like this, ‘Pierrot’, ‘Beauty and the Beast’, and ‘Guest’, the world is crazy about issues related to Kang Woo-jin, but surprisingly, the main character is quiet.

That’s Kang Woo-jin.

‘It’s not as easy as I thought to kiss Hushiro, but singing the OST was easy.’

Currently, Kang Woo-jin is busy with various schedules every day. The most important thing is ‘Beauty and the Beast’, which started full-scale editing a few days ago. Although filming has already been completed, the post-recording was also an important task as a lot of CG was being used.

For about a week now, Kang Woo-jin has been going back and forth between the sound studio and the recording studio.

-♬♪

I was in the middle of finishing the post-recording of vocals and ‘Beast’. And that’s not all? I also had to attend the post-recording meetings and promotional schedules related to ‘Pierrot’, and attend advertisements, interviews, photoshoots, and events. On top of that, I couldn’t neglect my personal SNS and ‘Kang Woo-jin’s sub-character’ filming.

Time, days melted away.

‘Ugh! I’m going crazy, I’m going crazy!’

And so, it’s already January 27th.

Around the end of January, Woojin Kang was found at Columbia Studios. Before the promotional schedule for ‘Pierrot’ and a large-scale YouTube filming schedule, Columbia executives had requested a meeting with Woojin.

Kang Woo-jin has a serious face.

“······”

I was alone without Choi Sung-geon.

‘The atmosphere is so heavy, why are you guys setting the mood like this? The concept needs to be a bit stronger.’

On the other hand, there were more than five Columbia executives sitting across from Woojin. Some were familiar, others were new to him. They all had serious expressions. At that moment, a familiar bald executive handed Woojin Kang a thick bundle of papers.

“Mr. Kang Woo-jin, this is what I said in the past. What we proposed to you were three works including ‘Pierrot’. The early films of the ‘Cinematic Universe’. Of course, we proposed them all as ‘Joker’.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“The second draft of the script for that film has come out.”

That is, it means the next movie after ‘Pierrot’. It’s something that has already been discussed, but Kang Woo-jin had previously insisted that the scenario came first.

‘Oh- the scenario? I’ll go check it out right away!’

Contrary to his excited expression, Kang Woo-jin responded very coldly on the outside.

“Let me take a look first.”

He quietly picked up the script. He then read the English title on the cover once and pretended to open the first page.

-Phuk!

He poked the black square attached to the scenario. In an instant, Kang Woo-jin’s world completely turned into a dark subspace. Kang Woo-jin, who had just solved the concept, yawned.

“Let’s see- what’s the rating?”

He walked towards the white squares listed. The first thing that caught his eye was the movie ‘The Guest’.

-[14/Scenario (Title: Guest), SSS-class]

In the meantime, ‘Guest”s rank has skyrocketed to SSS level. Kang Woo-jin smiled wryly.

“Yeah, it would be weird if Miley Cara and Chris Hartnett didn’t get on the list.”

Of course, there was a possibility that it would go up or down further in the future, but for now, it was okay to be happy. Some of Woojin’s money was also included in the hundreds of billions of won in investments.

“Hehehe.”

Then, Woojin, who had been laughing, moved his gaze. It was a new work that had just been updated in the subspace.

-[15/Scenario (Title: Bat: Birth of a Hero), EX-grade]

-[*This is a very high-quality movie scenario. It is 100% readable.]

Kang Woo-jin’s smile became even brighter like the ‘Joker’.

“This is EX-level from the start, it’s so cool.”

A few days later, Friday, February 3rd, morning.

It was already a week before the pre-release of ‘Pierrot’. Kang Woo-jin was in a van. The van had been running through downtown LA since morning. What was unusual was that the destination of the van carrying Woo-jin was not ‘Columbia Studios’ or ‘World Disney Pictures’, but somewhere else.

One of Hollywood’s ‘Big Five’ was right.

”Universal Movies” – almost there.’

Kang Woo-jin’s destination was ‘Universal Movies’. The reason was simple.

‘It’s been a while since I’ve seen that giant guy.’

The script reading for the movie ‘John Persona’, of which Joseph Felton is an executive producer, will begin in an hour. This means that the first filming of ‘John Persona’ will be right around the corner, right after the crank-up of ‘Beastly Beauty’.

However, the scenario that Kang Woo-jin is reading now is not ‘John Persona’.

‘It’s fun, there’s a reason it’s EX-level.’

It was the second film of the ‘Cinematic Universe’ that I received from ‘Columbia Studio’ a few days ago. ‘Bat: The Birth of a Hero’, which received an EX grade from the subspace. The grade was satisfactory, but it was strange to say that I would do it right away due to the concept, so Kang Woo-jin only received the scenario.

‘If you don’t do this, you’re an idiot. I guess it’s time to give a definitive answer.’

Soon, Woojin looked up and called out to Choi Sunggeon, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

“CEO.”

“······”

“I’ll do ‘Bat: Birth of a Hero’ on the Columbia side-”

Kang Woo-jin, who was speaking, narrowed his eyebrows at Choi Sung-geon’s silence and then changed his question.

“Sir, what’s going on?”

Choi Sung-geon, who had been looking down at his cell phone, suddenly raised his head and let out a long sigh.

“Hah- What is this?”

“which.”

“No, I think it just came up. What should I say? Just take a look.”

Seong-geon Choi turned his phone around and showed the screen to Woo-jin Kang. An article was being printed on the screen, and Woo-jin looked indifferent on the outside after reading the title.

“hmm.”

I screamed inwardly.

‘Huh???! Eek??!’

It was worth it.

The first time Kang Woojin burst into fame since his debut.

Because it was a dating rumor.
