262 - Shark 3

Shark 3

The first large-scale audition for 'Beneficial Evil' has begun. It is filtered here, continues through the second stage, and further to the final decision. Anyway, hundreds of participants gathered from waiting room 1 to waiting room 3. There were more people than expected, so an incident occurred where waiting room 4 was rushed.

The audition process was simple.

When the assistant director in charge of hosting the event calls the participants by name, about five people enter the audition room and present their performances. If you think about it, it was no different from an open audition. The first team had just finished and the second team had entered the audition room.

Gradually, the faces of the participants in the waiting room turn white or red.

"Ugh… I don't feel well."

"You did that last time, too. If you fool around again this time, the professor will really criticize you, right?"

"Ha-seriously, I want to win a small role. But Woojin won't come, right? "I want to see the real thing at least once-"

"Why does the person who flipped the white elephant yesterday come here?"

A theater troupe, acting students, acting academy members, new talent at an agency, and an unknown actor who has come into contact on his own.

Participants each have their own charm.

They all have different smells, but one thing they all have in common is that they all hold papers in one hand. This was the script for today's performance. Today's audition is free acting, so it will be an acting script prepared by each person.

"Hey, I don't remember the lines, Manager."

"You bastard! "Did I tell you to memorize it even when you poop?"

The sound of music can be heard here and there in each waiting room. Some of the participants were amazed to see the audition-related information posted on the front of the waiting room.

What's interesting is that Kang Woo-jin's status has changed from the past.

"Get your mind straight! It's Kang Woo-jin, Kang Woo-jin. They say that if you get involved in that guy's work, you will somehow become an issue, so if you get even a passing role, it will be a big deal. okay??"

"yes yes!"

"Don't be scared, dude! Kang Woo-jin is your role model? Risk your life because you will never have another chance like this."

This is proven very simply in the numerous conversations at this audition.

"Huh… if I pass the final exam, I can advance to the world stage with Kang Woo-jin. "Just imagining it is thrilling."

"My idol, don't call me that."

"Is it just for you? To unknown people and trainees, including myself, Kang Woo-jin is almost a god. More than that, is 'Lee Sang-man's acting any good? Even if a crazy person had to choose, he brought acting from the realm of the divine realm."

"I prepared it because I knew everyone would avoid it."

"If I can at least embody the claws of Kang Woo-jin's acting, I might pass."

Kang Woo-jin was an ultra-level superstar here. Of course, he has already spread top-level influence in Korea, but at this audition, he was treated like a bit of a god or alien.

Pioneer, idol, role model, etc.

For them, Woojin was both strong hope and a catalyst. The achievements made in just two years were so incredible. Yes, it feels like a new human has discovered a new continent and is walking without hesitation. That was exactly it.

Whatever it is, the hundreds of auditionees each struggle in their own way.

Who will be the actor who passes the second audition and receives the final passing certificate? However, despite the contestants' fighting power, the teams that entered the audition room often retreated in less than 5 minutes.

"Yes, that's enough. Now, next team."

This is because among the five judges, the main bearded producer Song Man-woo is making quick decisions. The only time I could see the acting was 10 to 30 seconds. Still, for someone as big as producer Song Man-woo to pay this much attention, it means he's paying a lot of attention.

Because there are many cases where I don't even look at it for 5 seconds. Plus there are too many participants.

"Start when you're ready."

"Yes, yes!"

Producer Song Man-woo began to feel tired as he looked at the five participants standing in front of him.

'Hu-there's no character, there's no character.'

Even though I have already seen more than 10 teams, there is no participant that catches my eye. More than half of the people did not even have basic skills. If you think it's basic, it's not attractive. Stuttering one's lines is common.

'I expected it, but I never thought it would be this terrible.'

I made up my mind. Producer Song Man-woo also knew that 80% of the participants would be meaningless. It was a moment when I realized once again just how out-of-universe Kang Woo-jin was.

'Damn it. Still, you have to persevere until the end. Even if it's hard to get a pearl necklace, it's a success if you get a silver ring.'

The audition was carried out calmly yet heatedly. 30 minutes, 1 hour, 1 hour 30 minutes. As time went by, the judges other than producer Song Man-woo lost strength, but no actor came out like this. The only participants who thought it was okay were mentioned as minor image characters.

Producer Song Man-woo grumbled.

"It's a drought, a drought."

The judges other than the caddy team leader agree.

"That's right. "If it were a good idea to wear a mask, I would at least ask a question, but so far it's been a bit dull, right?"

"The acting, to put it mildly, is like a first-year college student."

"Let's proceed quickly. "Call the next team."

Then, the next five members of the team entered the audition room. The acting starts right away. The first contestant's diction was a mess. Same goes for the second one. Third, the mask was unique, but the basics of the acting were wrong.

Next is the fourth participant.

It was a young woman. He is short with dark brown hair. Her face looks exactly like that of a puppy. Producer Song Man-woo felt it as soon as he saw her.

'If it becomes popular, it would be nice to win the title of national little sister.'

Is it all right? Cutie? lovely? If you were to describe the expression 'cute', it would feel exactly like that. The size of the shoes I am wearing is also world small. 210? I guess it's around 215? Producer Song Man-woo guessed her voice just from the image. but.

"Hello, this is Lim Hae-eun."

Her voice, introduced as Lim Hae-eun, was slightly low and gloomy. Producer Song Man-woo's eyebrows twitched unnoticed. It was a twist she didn't expect.

"······"

Soon, producer Song Man-woo, who had been quietly looking at Lim Hae-eun standing in front, closed his mouth and looked down at her profile.

-Palak.

It was my first time. The participant whose profile PD Song Man-woo looked at in such depth was: Then, when he found something interesting about her, he asked her a question.

"hmm? "Is your mother a shaman?"

"yes. "Since I was young."

"But are you dreaming of becoming an actor?"

"My mother told me not to become a shaman."

"Hmm, I see."

Other than that, there is nothing particularly unusual. At the age of 20, he is attending both a university acting department and an acting academy. Stories like this are common routes seen by other participants.

"Okay, let's see the acting."

"yes."

She took a deep breath and chanted again.

"The actor I have prepared is Kim Ryu-jin from the short film 'Heist Investigation Office.'"

Producer Song Man-woo was a little surprised. I've seen a lot of preparations for Kang Woo-jin's acting, but it's my first time seeing Kim Ryu-jin in 'Healing Investigation Bureau.'

'Woojin's expression in terms of sound and acoustics was overwhelming. But that?'

Producer Song Man-woo, intrigued, nodded slowly, and Lim Hae-eun suddenly sat down on the floor. Then, unlike just before when she had been slightly gloomy, she began to breathe horribly and harshly.

His body trembles and his eyes roll rapidly.

At that moment, producer Song Man-woo's eyes changed as he stopped spinning the pen in his hand.

'Ohh?'

Meanwhile.

Overseas foreign media outlets were publishing articles with similar content simultaneously. The first rice cake was thrown two days ago. Now it has grown significantly.

『Miley Kara, spreading rumors that she is working on an album with a Korean actor』

Miley Kara was a star all over the world. Therefore, there were too many paparazzi, and since it was an article about Kara, most of the photos in the article were taken by Kara's paparazzi.

『Miley Cara's sudden move, Hollywood and fans are in an uproar, but she is quiet』

A Korean actor is participating in Kara's new album? What kind of nonsense is this? Most of the contents of foreign news articles were question marks. In other words, I don't understand it well. It could be gossip. This may be a ridiculous amount of abuse.

Korea was no easy task, but the Hollywood side of the story was beyond imagination.

Sometimes, a pregnancy that did not exist may be revealed or an affair that did not occur may suddenly occur overnight. If you look at it that way, Kara's article, although absurd, was at the level of cuteness. However, Miley Kara was a top tier singer as well. Her articles quickly spread among various foreign media outlets.

Because there were some strange parts. If you are a Korean singer, there is a possibility that you will understand. Because KPOP's wind is unusual. But, a Korean actor? Even though Kara was a bit eccentric, it was still strange.

So where does this rice cake come from? Where did it come from and where did it start?

In fact, it was not clear who started it.

But what does it matter?

This story, which started in the foreign press, was followed by the paparazzi and steadily spread mainly to social media. The reaction from the overseas public was very rapid.

-A Korean actor? What kind of media play is this?

-It's obviously a false article, I'm glad it's not an article about Kara being pregnant.

-I think there is potential. There are cases where Korean actors also double up as singers, right?

-I was looking forward to Kara's new album, but I started to get a little worried.

-That's ridiculous. No matter how weird Miley Kara is, she's a professional? What kind of Korean actor suddenly?

-Who cares? I'll listen to any album she puts out

Among them, there were people who showed some reasoning skills.

-Didn't Kara go to Korea recently to promote the movie? What might have happened then?

-If you go to Kara's YouTube channel, there is a video of her singing a duet with a Korean actor, so it could be that actor.

-I saw that video too, but was that guy an actor?! I thought she was definitely a Korean singer!

Kara's popularity abroad gained momentum, and in the late afternoon, even on a huge filming set in LA, there was talk about Kara.

To be exact, it was producer Joseph Felton's team watching the filming.

"Joseph."

It was the bald head Robert who called Joseph as he looked at the sets that made up a village. Joseph, who was dressed in a casual suit, turned his head to see if he was popular. Robert showed his cell phone.

"Have you seen the Miley Cara article? "It seems a bit noisy these days."

Joseph, who was looking at the article on his phone with his arms crossed, smiled slightly.

"Hmm – I guess the reason Kara went to Korea to see 'Leech' was because of this."

"As expected, the 'Korean actor' in the article refers to Kang Woo-jin?"

"well. It's not 100%, but I think it's close to 90%. "This issue must have been leaked from Kara's side as well."

"Kara?"

"okay. The media and public opinion gave us their word in advance. "Don't be too surprised."

"Do you think it's confirmed?"

"no. I didn't hear from Kara. Kang Woo-jin may have rejected the offer."

Bald-headed Robert, standing next to Joseph, scratched his head.

"After getting to know Kang Woo-jin, there are a lot of things I see for the first time. "Isn't Kara famous for working on albums on her own without any features or accompanying work from her?"

"Sometimes people act blindly when they fall in love with something. Rather-"

Joseph trailed off and turned his gaze straight ahead. Numerous filming crews and Hollywood actors were performing enthusiastically. What he is watching now is the filming of season 4 of a famous drama. Black Joseph scratched his chin.

"It's a big deal that I haven't noticed since I went to Korea."

"Which one do you mean?"

"Their acting."

"Are you comparing me to Kang Woo-jin?"

"······"

Giant Joseph was silent. It was an unspoken affirmation. Even if you intentionally try to forget Woojin's acting, when you look at the acting of Hollywood actors, Joseph naturally comes to mind on the set of 'Leech'.

"It's not disappointing, but it doesn't attract attention either. "They are doing well, I just came here after seeing the newspaper article."

What can I say, after seeing the craftsman's skills?

Bald-headed Robert also seemed to have similar thoughts and helped out.

"It's definitely hard to find shock in Korea."

"If an actor is shocking every time, he also gets used to it. That's why some mid-level actors make the mistake of running away. There is a difference between an explosion and a runaway. However, for some reason, Kang Woo-jin knows how to balance that ambiguous boundary. "How is that possible?"

"Then why aren't you doing anything?"

Joseph responded with a grin.

"Unusually for an actor who simply refuses even if he is cast in a Hollywood movie, would Kang Woo-jin pack his bags and get on a plane just because I called him?"

"······"

"There will be an appearance that you want. "Maybe it's Khan."

After guessing, Joseph rubbed his chin.

"I think the first priority is to find a work that suits him."

Korea again.

The audition site for 'Beneficial Evil' is nearing its conclusion. It was already past 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Among the judges gathered at the audition venue, producer Song Man-woo stretched out his arms.

"Ugh! Huh, how many teams are left?"

The assistant director waiting at the door answered immediately.

"There are about three teams left."

"It's long, it's long."

Still, there were some things that were saved. Starting with Lim Hae-eun, who caught our eye, we selected about 50 participants who would see the tension again in the second round.

"Let's go in a last-minute spurt."

"yep!"

The assistant director nodded and brought the next team. There were 5 women in the previous team, but this time there were 5 men.

and.

'hmm? Tal- are you okay?'

The first man caught the attention of producer Song Man-woo. Clean? Pure? First of all, your skin is clean. He looks like he's over 180cm tall. He was certainly handsome, but his good image stood out. Meanwhile, the facial features of the eyes are clear. The simple hair color is a soft brown. The refreshing feeling is abundant.

Free pass award for women.

Here, PD Song Man-woo suddenly remembered Kang Woo-jin.

'······Mr. Woojin and the opposing force. Quite a contrast. Atmosphere or defects.'

He was definitely the exact opposite of Kang Woo-jin.
