277 - Chronicles 8

Chronicles (8) >

Filming for 'The Strange Sacrifice' has been completed. If it's long, it's a long period. If it's short, it's a short period of time. However, the 100 or so staff members were so moved that they could not hide their excitement in their respective seats.

"Thank you all for your hard work!!"

"Hahaha, it's over! it's over!"

"Eh?? Don't you like the lighting director so much??!"

"no way! "It's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding!"

"Aww, that's so sad! Thank you for your effort!"

"I think I'll remember this work for a really long time!!"

"It's a shame! "Thank you for your hard work!!"

You nod, smile cheerfully, blush a little, or clap your hands.

-Clap clap clap clap!

The staff of each team praised or congratulated each other. In particular, there were a lot of shouts thrown at the actors. Currently, the only actor who officially participated in the ending scene is Kang Woo-jin, but all the actors of 'Familiar' were present to watch the final filming.

"Woojin!! thanked!"

"Thank you for your great acting so far!"

"Today was also the best!"

The actors and staff mingled and tangled together to say their final goodbyes. The same was true for the dozens of people sent and the actors' staff. The subway station is noisy due to the shouting of over 150 people.

Director Kyotaro was busy shaking hands with the key staff in a place where several monitors were placed.

"Thank you for your hard work, Director."

"hmm. From editing to release, the real work is just beginning, but everyone worked hard."

"haha. "But you still need to rest for a few days."

The 'Familiar Gisaeng' scene was like the last picture of any other movie set. Meanwhile, Kang Woo-jin is slowly coming down the stairs and is greeted by numerous staff and actors.

"Mr. Woojin! Can you please let Woojin appear on YouTube? "I really want to go out!"

"If you are Uramatsu Mifuyu, you are welcome."

"really??!"

"Yes, I will check and let you know."

"Eh! Happy!"

I looked around the bustling scene while maintaining a poker face. A huge crowd of people. His face now looks like a concept at first glance, but in fact, it was filled with earnest sincerity.

'Hmm – has another work ended like this?'

Because a strange feeling arose. What can I say, I feel a little good, but I can't be happy comfortably.

There it is.

'This one was a bit dark. Was it because it was filmed in another country?'

Although the smell had long ago been eliminated, it felt like the lingering scent of 'Kiyoshi Iyota' remained. Because it was filmed in unfamiliar Japan? Maybe it was because a lot of new things were added as Kiyoshi progressed.

Piano, role combination, freedom of role, etc.

Kiyoshi and Kang Woo-jin were the only ones who accepted it. I don't know, but I'll remember it for a very long time. When an actor finishes a work, many separations await him, but the separation from his role is the most notable.

This was especially true for Kang Woo-jin.

Because he is the only one in the world who lives in the world of his roles. It has been that way so far and this time too. Another world has ended.

At this time, Choi Seong-gun and Woojin's team approached Kang Woo-jin.

"Woojin, you worked hard."

"Thank you for your hard work."

"brother! Thank you for your effort!"

"Another one finished!"

Mods who worked hard due to Woojin's schedule. Kang Woo-jin expressed his sincerity in his voice. Of course, she had an extremely low tone.

"Thank you for your hard work."

"oh? what? "I'm a little touched, aren't I?"

"therefore. "It's a very ordinary thing to other people, but for some reason, when Woojin oppa does it, he gets hit for no reason?"

Choi Seong-gun, who was laughing, put his hand on Woojin's shoulder and said.

"I climbed a mountain. Now, let's take a few days to organize the 'Familiar Gisaeng' related issue and also dust off the recording of 'Male Friend: Remake'. "Including the small schedule, it will probably take less than two weeks."

This refers to the voice actor dubbing, OST, piano, etc. recording of the animation 'Boyfriend: Remake'.

"Then I have to return to Korea and finish 'Leech.'"

Soon, the stylists were singing.

"Ahh- I just finished a movie, so why don't I feel less??"

"Woojin, aren't you having a hard time? Seriously, if I finish all the remaining work, I think I'll have to take at least a year off."

"I don't particularly."

"Wow – I'm fine alone! robot! monster!"

Director Kyotaro, wearing a hat pulled down, approached Kang Woo-jin, who was talking with the staff. At the same time, the stylists cleared the way, and Director Kyotaro approached Woojin and extended his hand.

"It's not over yet. Thank you for your hard work, Woojin. And thank you. "I've enjoyed it a lot so far."

Kang Woo-jin, holding his hand, bowed his head.

"I really learned a lot."

Afterwards, the bustling 'Unfamiliar Gisaeng' scene entered an after-effects atmosphere. Meanwhile, Kang Woo-jin muttered softly as he looked at the scene or staff of 'The Stranger.'

"It was fun."

The next day, the 29th. A late morning. japan.

From the morning, Japan's entertainment industry, including broadcasters, production companies, and various other areas, was in an uproar. In particular, film companies and production companies did this.

"'Unfamiliar Stranger' finished cranking up yesterday."

"Ah, is that so? "It's noisy from the beginning and finally comes to an end. It must be directed by the master Kyotaro Tanoguchi."

"Yes, that's how many problems arose. Normally, we would have been pressured by public opinion or industry momentum to stop it."

Because there was a rumor going around that 'The Stranger' finished filming yesterday.

"······If we crank it up now – it may be pushed back to next year, but at the normal speed, it will be released in the second half of this year. "If the timing is right, it will overlap with us."

"maybe."

'The Strange Gisaeng' was very famous throughout the Japanese entertainment industry. First of all, it is the next work of Japanese master director Kyotaro, and it is based on the original work by great writer Akari. Suddenly recruiting Korean actor Kang Woo-jin, etc. Because there hasn't been a quiet day since the start.

"CEO! Did you hear?? "I finished filming 'Familiar' yesterday!"

"I know, I heard."

"It was so close that I felt like I was going to fall over, but in the end, I finished it. What would the score be? "First of all, I think the initial momentum will be good due to the increased public interest."

"well. You'll have to open the lid to find out. The original work is by Akari, director Kyotaro's next film, the actors involved, and the team behind it is the 'Kashihi Group'. "For the background alone, 10 million is easily enough, but-"

The response from the Japanese industry was mixed. Either keep it in check as a competitor, or look forward to it as part of the same industry.

"······Wouldn't 10 million be difficult? "I guess it's the trend these days."

"My personal wish is that the movie will sell 10 million. No, even if it doesn't work out, I want my grades to be as high as possible. It's been roughly 10 years since the last time the film made its mark as a pure movie, not as an animation. "It is time for the market to change."

"I understand that 'Familiar Gisaeng' will be released in both Japan and Korea."

"I hope both sides do well. Only then will live-action cartoons and animated films slow down a bit, and pure movies will find some breathing room."

Well, if you look at it, 'Familiar Gisaeng' is a work that has an original work, but it is closer to an official movie with the director's adaptation and a well-chosen scenario. However, Japanese dramas and movies were already dominated by theatrical animations. It was no exaggeration to say that he was king-level.

In Japan, there have been more than 10 years of pure movies that have achieved decent results.

On the contrary, only within the past three years has the theatrical version of animation been soaring. Two years ago, there was also a theatrical animation that exceeded 18 million viewers.

The 'unfamiliar parasite' had to infiltrate through the hole of the needle.

In general, the assessment was that the possibility was significantly low.

Whatever it is, it is clear that it is the hottest work in Japan.

『The much-talked-about "Familiar Gisaeng" was cranked up yesterday』

The Japanese media quickly reported the news of the 'unfamiliar parasite' cranking up. This issue quickly spread from the media to public opinion. The next topic that became a hot topic was SNS. Because the power of '#KangWoojin' has been so strong recently, sharing was as quick as dry firewood catching fire.

YouTube is also adding firepower. Soon, an unspecified number of Japanese people were moving their fingers.

-I will definitely see this movie when it comes out! Every time, I only watched the animated movie version, but it's been a while since something like a movie was released!

-This is finally finished filming… I'm a fan of the original, so I'm not happy about this movie being released.

-I'm most curious to see how Kang Woo-jin will turn out! The anime's voice actor is interesting, but he's also an actor!

-We pushed ahead despite the opposition of many fans of the original, so the end result should be good.

-If only half as much as the original was selected….

-Does it make sense that a Korean actor played Kiyoshi Iyota in the first place?

-There's nothing that can't be done, Kang Woo-jin is already a star in Japan too.

-Looking at the reaction, this movie will be noisy in the first week when it is released anyway.

A fight is already happening.

At a time when 'Unfamiliar Parasite' was becoming a hot topic all over Japan, Kang Woo-jin could be found at a Korean restaurant in Shin-Okubo.

His schedule today was from noon.

That's why Kang Woo-jin visited a Korean restaurant with his team staff in the late morning. She was going to have a late breakfast. However, for some reason, Choi Seong-gun was not seen.

Woojin's appearance naturally attracted the attention of Japanese customers already in the restaurant.

"wow! Go, Kang Woo-jin!"

"Hehehe! Is it true?? "It's really Kang Woo-jin!"

"イケメン!! (Shocked because he's so handsome)"

Even after Woojin entered the room, the hall of the Korean restaurant was buzzing with Kang Woojin's name. Because of the Korean Wave, restaurants are filled with Japanese people.

soon.

"Hey, Brother Woojin!"

Jang Soo-hwan, a large man sitting on a chair, smiled and strongly patted the shoulder of Kang Woo-jin, who was sitting right next to him, as he took off his shabby hat.

"older brother! "At this level, you can say that you are better than most Japanese tops!!"

Han Ye-jeong and the stylists also strongly agreed.

"I've already passed it."

"Completely, completely!! Did you see anyone in front of a KPOP goods store on the street you were on earlier?! "There was a poster of Woojin oppa!!"

"really??!"

Of course, I also saw Kang Woo-jin out of the corner of my eye. 'Why is my picture like that?!' She even shouted something to herself. At this time, Jang Su-hwan, who was looking at the menu, suddenly showed his cell phone to Kang Woo-jin.

"Hehe, Japan is also Japan, but isn't it really Korea??! "Wow, this sight is amazing no matter how you look at it!!"

What could it be? What he showed was a report that included today on the 'Island of the Missing' where a nuclear bomb is being dropped. 'Island of the Missing' has already been released for 10 days, and the results from today (Saturday) to yesterday (Friday) were announced.

8 million. It was more than a shock, it was a huge disaster.

A clear difference from other movies. The winner of the 'movie war' is solidified as 'Island of the Missing'. Now, the only competition for 'Island of the Missing' is 'Naval Battle,' the No. 1 movie of all time in Korea.

Even then, 'Island of the Missing' is ahead by about two days.

But Kang Woo-jin was heavy. Because he already went running secretly in the morning.

"The future will be more important. "It's been about 10 days now."

"But that's crazy speed!"

"But brother! Do you think 'Island of the Missing' will beat 'Naval Battle'??!"

"enough."

"Wow – a burst of confidence."

Han Ye-jeong spoke in her characteristic cold tone.

"It's worth it, you can do it now. You heard it roughly, right? "Nowadays, when aspiring actors are asked who their role model is in theater productions or acting academies, they usually mention Woojin oppa."

"I heard."

"Last time we were recruiting new recruits for our company, there was a huge crowd of people, and more than 80% said Woojin was their target. "At this very moment, there will be a lot of trainees going to see 'Island of the Missing.'"

It actually did. Although we cannot confirm Woojin in Japan, there were many actor trainees or aspiring actors watching 'Island of the Missing' even at this time in Korea.

No, it boiled over.

Woojin's acting is becoming essential in university acting departments, and many theater companies and acting academies are also training with Kang Woojin as a role model. Because doing so ignites the trainees' fighting spirit.

At this time.

-smart.

Food was brought to the room. Braised ribs, pork, cold noodles, kimchi stew, etc. There are a lot of people and the food is amazing. However, a middle-aged woman who appeared to be the owner of the store came in behind the two female employees and smiled.

"this. Chicken Bokkeumtang is a service! Woojin, if you want to eat more, please let me know. "I'll give you everything!"

Kang Woo-jin shook his head solemnly.

"No, you don't have to."

The female boss responded with a hand gesture saying please.

"Woojin, you've exploded in Japan and your business is doing much better!" 'Kimjaban Makguksu' has its aftermath! Please eat it!"

Woojin was already an icon of promoting national prestige in Japan.

Same time. Kashihi Group headquarters.

Inside the enormous chairman's office, I saw a man who was familiar with a five-seat sofa that looked the most expensive in the world. It was Choi Seong-geon with pigtails. Today, for some reason, he wore a white shirt, and there were several transparent files he had brought with him on the glass table in front of him.

Next to Choi Seong-gun, an old man sat at the head of the five-seater sofa. No, it was Chairman Hideki Yoshimura, who resembled a lion with abundant white fur.

He looked at Choi Seong-geon with his arms crossed and made a harsh voice.

"Given Woojin Kang's momentum, I think it would be right to open an overseas branch related to BW Entertainment. What do you think, CEO?"

In an instant, Choi Seong-gun's eyes widened.
