280 - Chronicles 11

< Chronicles (11) >

When Kang Woo-jin first stepped into the hallway of 'A10 Studio' in Reading.

"After Kang Woo-jin was cast, the popularity of the topic increased significantly. But somehow, don't you think the voice acting industry is being seen as easy?"

I could immediately hear Japanese from two people who appeared to be voice actors. I saw that a few steps in front of me, they were constantly talking about Kang Woo-jin. As they followed them slowly, the voice actors did not stop whispering, perhaps because they did not sense that they were popular. Of course, the person who understood their conversation most clearly was Kang Woo-jin himself.

He narrowed his eyebrows so that it was not noticeable.

'crazy? Talking behind my back?'

Kang Woo-jin is slightly tearful. To be honest, it was a scene that wasn't strange even if I was angry. However, because he always has to be resolute due to his concept, he remains cynical for now. It wasn't something to endure. Just watch and watch forever. Either way, the Japanese voice actors tell Woojin's story with excitement. At this time, Han Ye-jeong, who was standing next to Woo-jin and had blue short hair with black ends, spoke with the coldness of the world.

"Oppa, I think they're talking about you. "In a bad way."

Although she is not an expert, she also has a level of understanding of Japanese. This news quickly spread to the stylist team. Kang Woo-jin calmed them down.

"I know, just leave it at that."

The Japanese voice actors made stupid noises when they opened the glass door of the conference room that appeared to be the reading room.

"How about a bet?"

"What bet?"

"Whether or not he was memorized from the first line."

Kang Woo-jin was preparing. Well, it was the time to show off his strength with the concept, but Woojin's original personality was such that he was a noob in scenes like this. If you don't touch it, you might not notice, but if you touch it openly, you can't stand it. Therefore, Woojin lowered his voice.

"Okay, let's bet."

But I turned up the volume. His low, heavy voice rang throughout the reading room. Accordingly, the dozens of staff members inside and the Japanese voice actors who had arrived in advance turned their heads toward the entrance. And the Japanese voice actors who were talking behind Kang Woo-jin's back were quite surprised.

On the other hand, Kang Woo-jin spoke calmly as if asking everyone to listen.

"It's a bet, which of the voice actors, including me, an amateur, and two professionals, has the most money. How are you feeling?"

The Japanese voice actors' eyes widened. No, everyone in the reading room did that. Thanks to this, the staff of 'Boyfriend: Remake' are whispering.

"Well, what did Kang Woo-jin just say?"

"I think we decided to make a bet."

"Who is better between you and the voice actors?"

"I heard that too."

"what? Should I stop him?"

The staff had already recognized that Woojin's reputation among voice actors was not good. Most of the expressions darkened at once. The same was true for some of the voice actors in the reading room. However, they are more grimacing than dark. He seemed a little offended by Kang Woo-jin's words.

However, Woojin did not take his eyes off the voice actors in front of him.

"Why aren't you saying anything?"

Perhaps because his eyes were so cynical, the voice actors who were talking behind Woojin's back froze.

"yes? "That is."

"You're not going to do it? bet."

Of course, that didn't bother Kang Woo-jin.

"You talked about me when you came here. What did you say? Did you say, 'You'll have a hard time today, Kang Woo-jin, because you're an amateur and you'll make a lot of mistakes.'"

"Hey, over there. that."

"You said other things, but I can't remember."

"······"

Japanese voice actors who are constantly watching. On the other hand, Woojin, with a solemn face, looked at them and then glanced around the quiet reading room. Everyone is staring at me. Some staff even made moves to stop it. Kang Woo-jin once again focused his attention on the voice actors in front of him. Thanks to the normal situation and the attention of many people, I will organize it appropriately.

"hmm-"

Woojin didn't stop like 'Fuck My Way'.

"Is this what territoriality is like?"

"······"

"I wouldn't have known it if I hadn't heard it, but when I heard it myself, I felt very uncomfortable."

Slowly, the staff and voice actors of 'Boyfriend: Remake' caught on to the mood. Ah, I got caught talking behind my back. More than 80% began to panic. Because being stabbed so openly like Kang Woo-jin was not common in Japan. It may be a unique atmosphere of Japan.

So what? Of course, it had nothing to do with Kang Woo-jin.

'Do I even have to adjust to that? If you get angry, you have to let it go at that time.'

Woojin spoke coldly again.

"Don't you bet?"

On the contrary, the voice actors were almost out of their minds. The accident stopped because there was no such case.

"······I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"I happened to make a mistake – I apologize."

At the attitude of Kang Woo-jin, who was a no-pak, the shoulders of the people behind him, including Han Ye-jeong, went up. Did you see it? It feels like this is our Kang Woo-jin. Meanwhile, staff members cautiously approached and began mediation.

"Hey, Kang Woo-jin, calm down first. We also apologize."

Kang Woo-jin answered casually.

"It's not particularly different from usual."

"yes? Ah yes. sorry."

Several staff members and members of the 'A10 Studio' planning team offered apologies. Of course, the same goes for the voice actors standing in front of Woojin. Even though Kang Woo-jin has no experience as a voice actor, he was the male lead in 'Boyfriend: Remake'. He cannot ignore that weight.

Woojin took a moment to receive an apology.

"······"

He stared at them without replying, and then suddenly moved his feet with an indifferent expression. And then, standing awkwardly, he bowed his head to the Japanese voice actors who had already filled the seats in the reading room.

"Hello, this is Kang Woo-jin. "Please take care of me today."

I have to say hello again. Kang Woo-jin also had a somewhat carefree personality. Soon, one by one, the voice actors bowed towards Woojin. Kang Woo-jin immediately captured the strange atmosphere.

Following.

-Sigh.

Woojin moved calmly while looking at the role sheet placed on the U-shaped desk. His role ticket was, of course, the first one.

-Drop.

He sits down casually and opens the script. On the contrary, Japanese voice actors were busy paying attention. Although they did not speak, similar lines were reflected in their eyes.

'Why are there all these different types?'

He appears to be angry, but then immediately bows politely. And now I'm calmly looking at the script again. It was quite possible to look like a fool. And the employees or staff of 'Male Friend: Remake' immediately figured out Woojin's personality.

It was a worthy force.

"Wow, Kang Woo-jin, your weight is crazy."

"therefore. "During our last meeting, I thought he was just a bit quiet, but today, I saw that he was just charismatic…"

"This is a really rare character in Japan."

"Look at the expressions on the voice actors' faces, they just broke down in one go."

Surprisingly, it was Kang Woo-jin's teams that were satisfied. Among them, Han Ye-jeong, the head stylist, opened the water while pressing her buttocks to the simple chair surrounding the U-shaped desk.

"Why are you talking behind my back? "This is Gangwoojin, these are these."

'Gang Woo-jin', it was a new nickname that Woo-jin didn't know.

After a while.

The number of people continued to be added to the solemn reading venue. Famous Japanese voice actors, staff, executives and officials of 'A10 Studio', etc. In the beginning, there were about 20 people, but now there are almost 50, and before you know it, word is spreading among the Japanese voice actors who have almost filled the dozens of seats.

"really? "That's what Kang Woo-jin said?"

"Yes, yes, it's true. "I was so excited when I decided to make a bet between myself, an amateur, and the professional voice actors to see who was better."

"······It's wrong, those voice actors did it first. Still feeling confident? Woojin, do you have experience as a voice actor?"

"I heard it was my first time."

Kang Woo-jin's proclamation of Noppa-gu spread wildly. Reactions were moderately divided. Half the voice actors are amazed at what they see in the new human race, and the other half are strangely looking at Woojin, who is full of confidence in the world.

About this way.

"Hello-"

A female voice actor entered the loud reading room. She was a woman of small stature and face, wearing a tight-fitting short-sleeved T-shirt and loose jeans. Her eyes are quite large and her overlapping teeth are noticeable. What can I say, she has the kind of beauty that would make her popular in Japan.

She was Natsumi Umi, known as an idol in the Japanese voice acting world, who played the female lead 'Enma Kyoko' in 'Boyfriend: Remake'.

Top level in terms of awareness and popularity.

"Huh? Why is the atmosphere so heavy??"

Indeed, the voice is good too. It is clear yet soft, with an announcer feel. Natsumi Umi's popularity was exploding, so her arrogance was very high, and as soon as she entered the reading room, she greeted several voice actors and spread the word about her.

"Eh-did something like that really happen?"

Of course, it was related to Kang Woo-jin. Natsumi Umi glanced at Ujin, who was sitting in the seat in front of her. No one approached Woojin as he sat down. There seems to be some kind of black energy emanating from it.

'Wow, you must be crazy. It seems a little gloomy, doesn't it? No, is it similar to Sengoku Tooru?'

Before coming here, Natsumi Umi had heard Woojin Kang's story a few times. Because he was hot even among close actors. Anyway, this is my first time seeing it in person.

'It's a little worse than I imagined??'

Natsumi Umi cleared her throat and walked towards Kang Woo-jin. Since she was the lady, I had to say hello and her curiosity was aroused. Her self-esteem was high because she had a high nose. She thought that being friendly with a man was no problem.

"Big big, over there-"

All men are the same, right? Natsumi Umi stood next to Ujin and smiled.

"hello?"

Woojin turned his head at the sound of Japanese and the scent. As soon as she saw Kang Woo-jin's face, Natsumi Umi cried out in her heart.

'and!! A cold handsome man!'

On the other hand, Woojin saw Natsumi Umi, but there was no change in her stern expression.

"Yes, hello."

The concept was strong, but the intention was the same.

'who? Ah, is it a nebula? Oh, there's a pretty cute one among the voice actors.'

There was no great disturbance. To him, Natsumi Umi is just a pretty pretty voice actor, right? That was it. There are already a lot of actresses with the best beauty around Kang Woo-jin. Natsumi Umi, who did not know this, immediately reached out to her Ujin. Normally, most men would smile and hold her hand.

"Kang Woojin? You are very handsome! Please take care of me. My name is Umi Natsumi, and I play the role of Kyoko Enma. "I hope we can become friends, right?"

Woojin slowly got up from his seat, roughly held Natsumi Umi's hand, and gave a low and short answer.

"I will leave it up to you."

And then sat down again. The process took less than 5 seconds. This was not the reaction Natsumi Umi expected. She exclaimed inwardly, slightly embarrassed.

'It shouldn't be like this?? Aren't you a bit arrogant??!'

She lowered her hand, which was vaguely floating in the air, and chewed her lower lip.

'Tch, why is it so cold? What? Is this something going well right now? That's it. I'm better at voice acting.'

It was then.

"Woojin."

A middle-aged woman's voice came between the two. I turned around and saw a good-looking woman with her dark brown hair tied up approaching me. It was Saya Asami, a famous voice actor who was associated with Woojin Kang on the piano. Umi Natsumi was a little surprised by the appearance of her senior and bowed her waist.

"her! Ah, hello senior!"

Saya smiles and waves her hand.

"Yes, hello."

Then she immediately caught up with Kang Woo-jin.

"It's been a while? "I was really worried about contacting you after the SNS-related incident broke out, because I thought I might have caused harm."

Woojin had already woken up.

"No, there was nothing like that at all."

"thank god. Thanks to Woojin, my daughter is always smiling these days. thank you."

"Is that so?"

"yes. By the way, do you know? I heard that Woojin is very popular in kids' schools these days. "My daughter is very proud of it."

"This is my first time hearing it."

"My daughter sings to me every day, hoping things will get better. If you have any difficulties with voice acting, please let me know."

"thank you."

It was a truly peaceful conversation. However, Natsumi Umi, who was watching from her side, was not at peace. Because the tone of her voice was different from her own.

'Why is it soft? What is the temperature difference? Seo, do you really like older people??!'

That moment.

"Come on, everyone, let's sit down."

A man wearing round glasses and standing at the head of a U-shaped desk, including executives of 'A10 Studio', organized the reading room. He was the general director of 'Boyfriend: Remake.'

"Hello, this is Mahiro Sakuichi, the director of 'Boyfriend: Remake.'"

A famous director in the animation industry. Thanks to this, all the voice actors, including Woojin, Saya Asami, and Umi Natsumi, were able to stick their butts in place. The director continued by introducing the voice actors. After introducing dozens of voice actors, including the male lead Kang Woo-jin, the female leads Natsumi Umi, and Asami Saya, the director also informed the production team and executives of 'A10 Studio'.

yet.

"Okay then, I'll start reading episode 1 lightly with the feeling of clearing my throat."

The director sat at the head of the table and an animation played on the large monitor in front. Because it is not a complete version, there is no opening, OST, or title. It came straight from the content. Dozens of voice actors, including female lead Natsumi Umi, kept their eyes glued to the monitor while glancing at Kang Woo-jin, who had a calm face.

'I'm going to make a mistake… right?'

'If you've declared a bet like that – you've probably practiced quite a bit, but it's hard to put your mind to saying your first lines.'

'But aren't you nervous at all? Why is it so peaceful?'

The atmosphere secretly hopes that Kang Woo-jin will make a mistake. The only one who was worried was Asami Saya.

'I hope you don't feel too burdened.'

At this time, in 'Boyfriend: Remake' on a very large monitor, a male character with oddly sized glasses and messy hair appeared. He wakes up in bed. The male lead character was Sengoku Tooru. That is, right before his first line.

Kang Woo-jin calmly looked at the monitor and opened his mouth without thinking.

"Ha…it's annoying. After all, silence is the best. "No, my room is the best."

The character's mouth and Woojin's voice were perfect without any errors. It was natural. Kang Woo-jin lived in the world of 'Boyfriend: Remake' on that very large monitor, and has now brought up the famous 'Sengoku Tooru'.

The next line was also the same.

The rhythm of the characters' mouth movements, pauses, and accents depending on emotions and situations were ridiculously smooth. Even his expression didn't change. The director sitting at the head of the table was surprised to see Woojin.

'It's the first time I've seen the first line go in so neatly. But this is your first time as a voice actor??

Soon, all the eyes of dozens of voice actors were focused on Kang Woo-jin. It contained a feeling of ecstasy that went beyond absurdity.

especially.

'······uh? Uhhhh??!'

The female lead, Natsumi Umi, unconsciously covered her mouth with one hand.

'lie! You're so good at it, that cool handsome guy!!'
