274 - Chronicles 5

< History (5) >

As soon as Kang Woo-jin, who was still in the same prone position as he was sobbing, took off the kiyoshi, he realized that his face and mouth were covered in snot and saliva.

'crazy. How much did this cost?? I'm even getting dehydrated.'

No, actually, I knew it when I was acting like a skinny sob, but acting and reality are different. I know no one would criticize her for having some snot all over her face.

'But it's better to leave no gaps, right?'

This was the area of ​​self-management, including concept quality. There is nothing to overdo, but if you start letting things go one by one like this, giving up becomes easier. Kang Woo-jin fell down and emphasized himself once again.

Don't let down your guard.

Thanks to this, Woojin lay down quietly and wiped away the snot and saliva. Not frivolously, but resolutely or gently. The excitement is light. At this time, applause could be heard from Woojin and the staff behind him.

-Clap clap clap clap!

What? What kind of applause all of a sudden? I'm not giving you high praise for wiping your runny nose. Probably applause for the performance from earlier. Anyway, I had to get up before the applause ended. Woojin lost a lot of strength due to being on his knees for a long time and losing moisture.

Still, he somehow succeeded in getting rid of the runny nose.

-Sigh.

He quickly got up with a calm poker face on his face, as if it had never happened before. It took longer than expected. Everyone must have noticed that Woojin woke up while wiping his runny nose. At least Kang Woo-jin thought so. In times like these, the shameless iron plate of the world is more important.

'I don't know, Mr. 'Walk confidently.'

Woojin's coldness became stronger than usual. Is this a reflex action that will neutralize the embarrassment a little? Next, a Japanese actor is immediately visible to Woojin as he roughly shakes off his pants. The actor who played the role of Tsuzuki Itsuma, who had been a corpse until just moments ago, was still standing in front of Woojin.

He made eye contact with Kang Woo-jin.

"······"

"······"

They remain silent for a moment and exchange glances.

The Japanese actor was convinced when he saw Woojin's face, which was stiffer than in the beginning and his concept was twice as strong as usual.

'······I'm not perfect at controlling my emotions yet. Still, he's a pro, he's back to himself so quickly.'

Kang Woo-jin flinched internally.

'What? Why do you see it that way? Are there still remnants of snot on my face??

Amid the clash of conflicting intentions, the Japanese actor spoke Japanese first. It's very serious.

"I was impressed. Acting and post-action attitude as well. You don't have to overdo it. You can take your time. "Get your emotions together before you move."

What kind of nonsense is this? It was Woojin who thought of lines like, 'The snot is still left on my chin.'

'But what kind of emotion is it and how do you control your emotions? What are you talking about, you guy?'

Everything about 'Kiyoshi Iyota' has already disappeared from Kang Woo-jin's body. Because he was like a ghost when it came to putting it on and taking it off. But the Japanese actor's reaction is strange.

"······"

Woojin slowly turned his head back while maintaining his cynical expression. Dozens of staff could be seen standing among various cameras, lights, etc. Everyone has serious faces. Some people even cover their mouths with one hand in excitement.

'Snot' cannot be found on a single person's face.

even.

'Why is the CEO so serious again?'

Even the pony-haired Choi Seong-geon, who always sticks around, has a very strong expression. Kang Woo-jin was confident at this point.

This scent, this atmosphere, this unbalanced air.

'Something went astray again.'

Misunderstanding or illusion. It matched a situation that Woojin had experienced somewhere. Well, I'm a mess. Kang Woo-jin does not bother to correct her situation by showing off his nose. He was clearly a professional, a master of concepts.

-Suuuuu.

Kang Woo-jin slowly swept his black hair with his right hand and lowered his voice as he looked at the Japanese actor.

"I didn't mean to mess with it."

"······Well, then?"

"I remembered."

At that moment, the Japanese actor's eyes widened. It was said that Kang Woo-jin's extreme strength had worked, and after calmly greeting Woo-jin, she turned around and walked towards Choi Seong-gun. Along the way, I heard restrained praise and encouragement from various staff members. Of course, Woojin only answered appropriately lowly. Soon, a serious Choi Seong-gun asked Kang Woo-jin, who arrived in front.

"Are you okay? It was my first time acting sobbing and wailing, so I was a little worried because I had to control it. Because you do very methodical acting. But after all… you were very uncomfortable with acting like you just did, right? "To the point where I can't recover right away."

No, I wiped my nose. Since he couldn't say that, Woojin chose to be arrogant.

"Recovery was easy. "What's important is memory."

"memory?"

"Yes, so I can use it with something else later."

"······Crazy guy."

"thank you."

Choi Seong-geon, who was shaking his head as if he was fed up, soon put his thumb up.

"But, well, the scene was really killer. This kind of acting was really you, so you saved it and pulled it off. If it were any other actor, you would have died from numerous NGs. "When it is released, audiences will be shocked."

In fact, acting that requires strong emotions, such as the sobbing and tearful acting that Woojin just showed, is difficult. In particular, if an actor cannot perform a scene, numerous NGs and reactions appear. One shot, one kill would be good if possible, but actors like that are rare. No, you can assume it doesn't exist.

Because it was Kang Woo-jin, it was possible and he did it.

Of course, Director Kyotaro, who was watching Woojin a few steps behind, had his head pressed down due to the hat he was wearing.

"······If it was just cut, it would be overflowing."

I had no intention of shouting out a reaction. There is no change in composition. What he has seen is the best and the best. He muttered softly in Japanese.

"Sometimes directors deceive actors."

At this, the assistant director and staff right next to him tilted their heads.

"yes?"

Director Kyotaro continued speaking without taking his eyes off Woojin.

"Even when the actor's acting is lacking, even when the actor's acting is too much, and even when the actor's acting is mediocre, that's when I encourage them and give them the OK sign."

It was about compromise. Relying on the implicit rules of the market.

"It may not seem like much at first glance, but it is actually a deception and a deception. The illusion that you are looking down at the actor from up there, that he is no longer acting and is just a broken idiot. "That kind of thing happens quite often in the field."

"Ah, that's right. "The actor's condition also needs to be controlled."

"But today I found out that there is a completely different compromise."

"Well, what is that?"

"Mr. Kang Woo-jin. I couldn't judge the art he showed just before. "You couldn't just choose between NG and OK."

Errors in judgment occur not because the acting is lacking, but because the acting feels distant. A compromise that I had no choice but to make because my mind was blank.

Director Kyotaro moved his feet.

-Trudge, trudge.

Then he turned to Kang Woo-jin and spoke seriously and firmly.

"Because of the scene just now, the ending of 'Unfamiliar Parasite' will be explosive for moviegoers."

It was said to be a fuse.

backwards.

Filming on Monday the 24th ended at midnight. As the filming schedule for 'Familiar Gisaeng' was coming to a close, it was natural to overdo it a bit.

Then the next day, the 25th, dawned.

There are only about 3 days left until 'Unfamiliar Gisaeng' cranks up. However, Kang Woo-jin participated in the filming of 'Familiar Gisaeng' on the 25th without any urgency. It was early in the morning.

"action!!"

The breathing at the scene gradually became heavier. The spirit of director Kyotaro and the hundred or so staff members also increased. Maybe it's because I saw Kang Woo-jin's acting yesterday. Whatever it was, the filming that took place was the content behind Kiyoshi Iyota's homework and insert cuts that would fill in the gaps in the entire scenario.

However, Kang Woo-jin.

'Whoa – crazy!!'

Every time I had a break, I looked at my phone without being noticed. In Korea, the 'Island of the Missing' boom was currently taking place, and news bombs were exploding every day. Is that it? SNS and YouTube have also been taken over by 'Island of the Missing'.

It was safe to say that a tsunami called 'Island of the Missing' had engulfed Korea.

'It explodes! This is a serious accident and looks like it's going to explode!'

Woojin, who was filled with excitement on the inside, turned as cold as a ghost when filming began. On this day, the schedule was organized late at night.

The standby time for the next day, the 26th, was around noon.

Even though the filming of 'Familiar Gisaeng' has reached its conclusion, there is no slacking. On the contrary, it was several times more urgent. So much so that it's hard to notice how time melts away.

Two days later, Friday the 28th dawned.

The location is Tokyo. The time is around 6 in the morning.

Normally, this would be the time for many people to start their day, but some people were already busy. It was the 'unfamiliar' team. The gathered place was a large set where the 'Familiar Gisaeng' team had recently resided. Among them, a space designed for outdoor cuts. Each character's house, store, etc. The exterior of a set that is used quite often was built.

Just looking at the scale, it was easy to see that a lot of time had been invested in constructing this set.

In between.

"Testing the lighting!!"

"I'm watching!"

"After lighting, I'll go take the camera!"

"Director! "Please check this place!!"

About 100 staff members are busy in their respective departments. Of course, the same goes for Director Kyotaro, who is wearing his hat tightly today as well. Dongbunseoju. The set they put a lot of effort into setting up for filming was a two-story mansion. It is a hallway-type mansion with an iron staircase at the end of the second floor. The exterior walls of the mansion are gray but often black. It feels old even when you look at it.

According to the scenario, this mansion was the home of 'Kiyoshi Iyota'.

Today, the 'Unfamiliar' team plans to take several cuts, but two were the key ones. The first encounter between Kiyoshi and Detective Mochio at this mansion, and the changed ending scene of 'The Strange Parasite' filmed at a different location.

Maybe that's why the eyes of the hundred or so staff members were full of energy.

No, not exactly.

"Haha, days like this do come."

"That's right. "It seems like it was just yesterday that I cranked it up."

"I want a cold beer. Let's have a cold beer after we finish cleaning up from the last shoot today."

"agree!"

That's because today is the last day of filming for 'Familiar Gisaeng'.

The last day of filming for 'Familiar Gisaeng' arrived, but not a single staff member was relieved. It was always like that, but especially since many customers were scheduled to flock to this site today.

"I heard that in addition to the actors who were caught filming, there are also actors who have already missed the show. Is this true?"

"iced coffee. That's right, film companies and distributors will also come."

"Wow, they're all coming."

"I heard that author Akari is coming too?"

"It's not certain, but Chairman Hideki Yoshimura might also come."

"Eh?? really??"

Just listening to the predictions of the staff members talking, it was obvious that today's set would be filled with many people. In fact, at this time, many people were preparing to go to the set of 'Unfamiliar Parasite'.

Of course, Kang Woo-jin just woke up.

"Ah, I'm so tired. But anyway, today is the last day of filming. But it's a bit disappointing."

Kosaku Mana, who plays the role of detective Mochio, who will play Woojin, actors from 'The Familiar Parasite', author Akari, the original author, and even Chairman Hideki. Everyone was looking forward to the end of 'The Stranger.'

The standby time for today's shooting is 7:30 am.

It started with Kang Woo-jin, followed by Mana Kosaku. After filming the two's solo cuts, etc., it was the filming scene that the guests who would come today would see.

I'm not sure, but it'll be around 10 in the morning.

So time passes.

"Kang Woo-jin is here!!"

Kang Woo-jin arrived on set as the first among the actors. Her poker face is dark.

"Welcome, Woojin."

"Hello, Director."

"How are you feeling?"

"Same as usual."

"As expected."

Although he was a little nervous inside that it was the last time filming, his concept became stronger as time went by. A few tens of minutes later, Kang Woo-jin's filming began. Meanwhile, Mana Kosaku with dark facial lines arrived. Preparation and filming took place alternately.

Finally, around 9 o'clock.

Slowly, the actors of 'Unfamiliar Parasite' appeared on the set.

"hello!"

"Ah, welcome, Mifuyu."

Several actors, including Mifuyu Uramatsu, who played the role of Amie Horinochi, had already died during filming. Of course, they all left because their roles were dead. The set, which already had over a hundred staff members running around, gradually started to become several times more crowded. Executives from film companies and distribution companies also arrived one after another.

And around 10 o'clock in the morning.

"Director, as expected, it's a cranking day so the set is hectic."

"Are you here, author?"

Author Akari Takikawa has appeared. After talking with director Kyotaro, she greets several actors. Among them, the conversation with Kang Woo-jin, who was already no different from Kiyoshi, was the longest.

"I'm working hard on filming today, I pretended not to, but I'm looking forward to it. "Is this too much of a burden?"

"no. i look forward to."

"I am."

About this way.

"Eh-ji, you're really here! excuse me!"

Some members of the lighting team who were setting up the filming made a fuss and pointed toward the set entrance. Soon, the eyes of dozens of surrounding staff members shifted.

"······Chairman Hideki Yoshimura- Are you really here??"

Chairman Hideki, accompanied by his secretary, was the last guest.
