< Comeback (1) >

Kang Woo-jin receives the transparent file handed to him by pigtail Choi Seong-geon. His expression was very calm, but inside he tilted his head conspicuously. Are scenes added to the script for episodes 1 and 2 of 'Beneficial Evil'?

'Well, does that mean there are modifications?'

Even the running time of the play is extended. So doesn't that mean it's going to be a bigger surgery than expected? As Woojin, who had already read (experienced) the script for episodes 1 and 2 of 'Beneficial Evil' a long time ago, he was naturally skeptical.

Why the correction at this timing?

However, it is Oba who expresses a little embarrassment and a deep sense of concept. Kang Woo-jin casually opened the transparent file and asked Choi Seong-geon. Of course, the voice is set to maximum.

"Add a scene. "Isn't it too late?"

Although the tone was vaguely harsh, Woojin's questions were generally reasonable. No matter how much 'Beneficial Evil' is in pre-production, if the script is revised in the latter half of pre-production, the production period will increase accordingly. That means it ultimately costs money.

To begin with, 'Beneficial Evil' is an expensive drama.

As it is pre-production, the quality and meticulousness must stand out compared to live dramas, so the production costs invested so far have already been large. In addition, dozens more than the standard number of actors and staff members participated. This means that as the production period increases, raw money continues to leak out.

However, Choi Seong-geon smiled as if it was okay.

"That's right, normally it would be quite late. But fortunately, I don't think I headed into the ground."

"Is that so?"

"uh. After listening to PD Song's story, I heard that these were cuts that were included in the early stages of the script for episodes 1 and 2 of the current 'Beneficial Evil'. "It feels like I took that out, completed the script, and then put it back in."

"Naturally, the running time for episodes 1 and 2 is increased."

"okay. Instead, writer Choi will work to improve the quality even more than when it was removed, and it looks like he is doing intensive research now."

In other words, the original amount is upgraded and added. If that's the case, it won't have much of an impact on the production period. Woojin, who was nodding his head indifferently, looked down at the transparent file in his hand. The content includes a storyboard plan for the cuts to be added and information and materials from the shots.

Kang Woo-jin was surprised while looking at the illustrated storyboard cuts. Of course, just inside.

'Wow – crazy. Geography? If you just look at the storyboard, it's just Yeonghwan??'

Originally, there was a lot of action in 'Beneficial Evil', but what should I say about the action scenes in the storyboard that he sees now – they are quite intense? He literally reminded me of a few scenes from a Hollywood movie.

even.

'But this…a gun? 'You also use guns?'

It seems to include technology I've never seen before. A gun was also seen. Woojin, who became a little serious both on the outside and on the inside, turned the page. There were quite a few letters visible. There was data and information about the added cuts, but there was only one thing that Kang Woo-jin focused on.

-Scheduled filming location: Bangkok, Thailand.

Bangkok? Bangkok, Thailand? So you're saying the filming will be done in an overseas location? For a moment, Woojin was reminded of Da Nang, Vietnam, where he went to film 'Island of the Missing'.

No, more than that.

'Bangkok? It's so unfamiliar??'

A truly unexpected place popped out. Bangkok was something Woojin joked about with his kids, but he had never thought about going there that much in his life.

Whatever it was, he had a strange feeling.

'You're crazy. Are you going all the way to Bangkok to film this?'

Half excited, half worried. Of course, if you ask me, I had a lot of worries. It's not that I haven't filmed in other countries, such as overseas locations or Japan, but it was my first time doing full-scale action. However, Woojin, who seemed calm on the outside, nodded slowly.

"Bangkok, not bad."

Choi Seong-gun suddenly raised his thumb.

"I also glanced at it, but the pictures are killer. The added cuts themselves give hints of Namjoo's past, so it seems like the work is going strong. From the beginning, it was broken, destroyed, exploded, and everything was going on."

"yes."

"You have to show that the main character is strong in episodes 1 and 2 so that he can gain strength in the latter episodes as well. Well, of course, since it's you, you won't be nervous. "How does it feel?"

"It's the same, just as expected."

"haha. "Okay, anyway, the revised script will be handed over soon, and before that, there will be promotional filming and a meeting with the 'Beneficial Evil' side."

Afterwards, Choi Seong-geon began explaining about 'beneficial evil'. It was roughly about 10 minutes. Of the two who were sitting across from each other at the central table in the representative office, Choi Seong-geon changed the topic as soon as he finished the 'Beneficial Evil' briefing.

"And what happened to Jinju? "I also need to know the situation."

It was obvious. As if Kang Woo-jin didn't know this, he explained in a low tone what happened at the Jinju Children's Center. Not in detail, just to the point. Choi Seong-gun, who heard the story, let out a laugh.

"What about that sponsor representative? Are you crazy? Anyway, good job."

Choi Seong-gun took out his cell phone and continued.

"I was already trying to pay more attention to Jinju. Because Woojin is your hometown, and Jinju City Hall always cut the tries. If you donate it, it means a lot and the pictures are nice too. "First of all, I've received a call from the children's center, so I'll take care of it."

"thank you."

"What are you thankful for? What I originally wanted to do was just fire the first bullet. And you also personally donate? "I'll just leave the company, so don't worry about it."

Oh, as expected, CEO. On the outside, he was a hard-hearted Woojin, but on the inside, he was deeply moved by Choi Seong-geon, and Choi Seong-geon had no way of knowing this.

"Since it's your first year, why don't you go a little harder, including on your own. Let's go to 300 million. "Only then will the media take notice."

I wrote something down on my phone and opened my mouth again.

"Ah, they will focus on publicity and run it together with us."

after.

Seong-geon Choi added that the promotion related to donations will be a little noisy only this year, and will be carried out quietly from next year. Kang Woo-jin's trip to Jinju had already become quite a hot topic in the media and public opinion, so it made sense to continue the momentum in this case.

anyway.

"The pearl side is like that. Uh-next is about your schedule."

Choi Seong-geon, who had a thick diary in his hand, recited Woojin's packed schedule. Now that I had had a sweet break, I had to run at full speed again. Endless schedules poured out of his mouth. Meanwhile, Woojin.

"······"

I was dazed while maintaining a poker face. The feeling was something like, 'Water is water and a mountain is a mountain.' If he lost his mind, he might fall asleep. Woojin was someone who didn't even think about his scheduled schedules. Well, what would it be good to know? Just do it. Be that as it may, Seong-geon Choi continued his briefing passionately.

"Two days later, 'Uramatsu Mifuyu' will come to Korea in connection with the filming of 'Kang Woo-jin's side character.' "Is this your first time seeing you after filming 'Familiar'?"

"yes."

"Mifuyu also said that this was her first time in Korea other than traveling. Anyway, a top Japanese actress is coming, so there will be news about this too."

After about 30 minutes, Choi Seong-geon's briefing ended.

"So, I came back today. Do you want to rest and start tomorrow?"

Kang Woo-jin shook his head and slowly got up.

"There is no problem if you do it right away."

Kang Woo-jin, who returned like that, boarded the train to hell again. I stopped by the shop right away and mainly caught up on minor schedules such as interviews and photo shoots that I had put off.

Then early the next morning.

Kang Woo-jin, wearing a hat tightly pressed down, got into the van. This time he also had to go to the shop. Then he picked up his cell phone. It was to understand the current Internet situation.

'Let's see-'

Several issues were rampant on the Internet. An idol scandal that broke out a few days ago, a variety show that aired yesterday, news of a top actor's return, etc.

Among them, it would be natural.

『A10 Studio, a major Japanese animation production company, releases recordings of 'Boyfriend: Remake'… Only Kang Woo-jin is visible/ Photo』

Issues related to Kang Woo-jin were the strongest.

『'Kang Woo-jin's hometown, Jinju, is currently filled with Hyun Soo-man who welcomes him/Photo』

『[Issue Pick] 'Beneficial Evil' targeting the world, officials say, "Overseas locations are planned." Where will it go?』

Since it had the most provocative keywords, it was natural that Woojin's issue would sell the best.

『Have you done your best? 'Island of the Missing' audience number stopped at 19 million, film industry experts say, "20 million is impossible"

And when Kang Woo-jin, who had finished dressing up, started filming the commercial, pigtail-haired Choi Seong-geon, who was watching him, accessed Woojin's 'Kang Woo-jin alt' channel.

A heart-warming video was uploaded to Woojin's YouTube channel, which had already surpassed 15 million subscribers. At the same time as announcing the completion of a short break, they also announced filming with Uramatsu Mifuyu, who was filming 'Unfamiliar Parasite' with Woojin, a top Japanese actress.

of course.

News of Kang Woo-jin's return was also spread on social media, including Instagram. Either way, fans commented like crazy. Korea, Japan and overseas. The arbitrary or hectic mixing of multinational languages ​​proved Woojin's current influence.

At this point, the 'beneficial evil' side. No, to be exact, writer Nana Choi.

"······It's a shame. "I wish it was a little more extreme."

I was excitedly writing additional cuts to the script for episodes 1 and 2 of 'Beneficial Evil.' Of course, it wouldn't take long. Because I'm just adding color to a pre-drawn picture. Nevertheless, her hands were quick when typing on the laptop.

-Crack! Crash!

It has to be sorted out as quickly as possible so it can be delivered to the actors after confirmation by producer Song Man-woo. In particular, Kang Woo-jin had to move on faster than anyone else. The key to this overseas location shooting in Bangkok, Thailand was Kang Woo-jin.

"Woojin is a bit more – what should I say, flashy? No, I hope it's overwhelming."

He had to handle more than 80% of the scenes to be added.

About afternoon like that.

Kang Woo-jin was given a break while shooting a fashion brand advertisement.

-Sigh.

I sat down in the waiting chair. As expected, his face showed no signs of distress, and behind him, a large man, Jang Su-hwan, handed him a bottle of bottled water.

What's funny is that his smile is deep.

"Brother, the article on donations to Jinju just broke out!"

It was like that.

『[Official] Jinju liver 'Kang Woo-jin' donates '300 million won' for undernourished children / Photo』

『Kang Woo-jin, No. 1 in unrivaled brand reputation, donates 300 million won to his hometown, Jinju… "It's a different class!"』

『"The size of the donation is also special", Kang Woo-jin, who made a donation worth billions in his second year』

Woojin's donations poured in on the Internet, where various issues were prevalent. Looking at the quantity, it was clear how powerful the firepower was.

『[Issue IS] Jinju City says, "We express our infinite gratitude to Mr. Kang Woo-jin" for Kang Woo-jin's 300 million won donation.』

It was 100% certain that it was a collaboration between Jinju City and BW Entertainment.

『[Star Photo] Kang Woo-jin, who donated 300 million won, took a picture alongside Jinju Mayor at the Children's Center! / Photo』

The total donation of 300 million won was enough to stir up public opinion as well as the media. Isn't that right? You went to take a break and suddenly donated hundreds of millions of dollars? Since Kang Woo-jin was already number one in brand power, it was natural for him to fluctuate.

-Wow… Kang Woo-jin is seriously so refreshing.

-Simhahahaha, the class is so great hahaha. As soon as I go home, I immediately get 300 million hahaha.

-Regardless of the amount, the donation itself is respectable and great.

– Kang Woo-jin, seriously, you're so cool… To be honest, even though the ripple effect is terrible now, it's 300 million won in the second year since debut…..

-Go to your hometown to rest and just pay 300 million!

-How on earth is it possible for an idiot who leaves malicious comments to live a normal life??? Shiba guys, please donate even 300 won and be damned.

-The very act of donating is so cool!!!!

-Kang Woo-jin is not that old, right? If your personality is poor, what is it that you lack????

A photo of Kang Woo-jin taken at a children's center in Jinju, the news that BW Entertainment had become an official sponsor, and a direct interview with the mayor of Jinju further exploded, increasing the number of donations made by Kang Woo-jin.

300 million was not a small amount of money. No, rather an enormous amount.

It was definitely not an amount that could be paid two years after debut. In any case, this trend was naturally directly connected to the promotion of the works that Woojin was in charge of, and the same was true for his SNS and 'Kang Woojin Alternate' channel.

『Top Japanese actress 'Mifuyu Uramatsu' comes to Korea to film 'Kang Woo-jin's side character'! The 'unfamiliar' relationship with Kang Woo-jin』

The issue of Kang Woo-jin's large donation did not cool down right away.

The next day, on the 29th, it was hot when the plum-lipped top Japanese actress 'Mifuyu Uramatsu', who played the role of 'Amie Horinochi' in 'Unfamiliar Gisaeng', came to Korea. Of course, she does the same when she and her Woojin are filming content for the 'Kang Woojin Alternate' channel.

It was covered loudly in various media outlets for several days.

Numerous issues were intertwined.

『With the '300 million donation' and Japan's top actress 'Uramatsu Mifuyu', has the 'issue king' Kang Woo-jin started again?』

As a result.

"omg."

The morning of the 30th, the last day of June. Kang Woo-jin, who was about to leave the house just before work, looked at his cell phones and suddenly raised both hands.

He wasn't crazy.

"It turned."

Still, it was well worth it. Because what seemed realistically impossible has become a reality.

[Korea's all-time box office]

-One. Island of the Missing/ Cumulative number of viewers: 20,013,889

In other words.

『[Official] Korea's No. 1 movie in terms of audience attendance, 'Island of the Missing' exceeds 20 million viewers, a huge feat for the Korean film industry!!』

『'Island of the Missing' reaches 20 million viewers!! 'Kang Woo-jin's ripple effect overturned the impossible!』

It wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't for Kang Woo-jin.
