< Bangkok (6) >
In Bangkok, Thailand, world-famous top star Miley Kara suddenly appeared without any prior publicity or anything. what? Is it a dream? Or nothing? It was a perfect moment to say that I couldn't believe it even after seeing it.
Her outrageous appearance threw all the famous people in Hollywood into confusion.
Famous producers and caddies Joseph and Megan.
"Wow, Miley is filming this project??"
"Oh my – I really didn't expect this."
Joseph's teammates and the stunt team that accompanied them.
"Oh…Gee, it's really Miley Kara, right?"
"Did you say Miley is appearing in a Korean production? "That's what I heard."
"so do i."
"That doesn't make sense, why would she film Korean work?"
"Hey, that expert. No, Miley said it was because of the Korean actor."
"I heard! But do you understand??!"
Executives at the Hollywood dinosaur film company 'Universal Movies' were also distraught.
"I never thought Miley Cara would appear in a Korean production. "It's a matter of whether or not it will be for us, too."
"Who on earth is that Korean actor? "Who is saying that Miley appeared for him?"
Murmur. The voices of about 20 people gradually grew louder. On the other hand, Miley Kara, standing next to them, seemed relaxed. Kara said, putting her sunglasses on her blonde hair.
"Kang Woo-jin, that's the name of a Korean actor. "You also came to see that Korean actor, right?"
"uh?"
The executives of 'Universal Movies' narrowed their eyes and turned their attention to Joseph, who was black. Joseph, with a smile on his face, nodded his head as if it were correct.
"That's right, we came to see Kang Woo-jin."
Although some information had been exchanged in advance, except for Joseph and Megan, all of the foreigners had seen Kang Woo-jin's face for the first time. Joseph pushed it so hard that we stopped by before going to Cannes, but the stunt team here and the executives at Universal Movies didn't have high expectations for a long time. It was the same even now.
If it was natural, it was natural.
Whatever it is, Kang Woo-jin is almost unknown in Hollywood. No matter how recommended Joseph or Meghan are, expectations placed on unproven Korean actors are bound to be low. But suddenly Miley Kara became involved with the Korean actress.
'Miley Cara – What's the connection with that Korean actor? Otherwise, such a ridiculous situation wouldn't have happened.'
Denying reality did not change the facts. Miley Kara appeared before their eyes, and she announced directly from her mouth that she would appear in 'Beneficial Evil'. The size of the role was not important. The mere fact that Kara is participating is enough to turn Hollywood upside down.
Soon, one of the executives at 'Universal Movies', a man with a big belly, muttered softly.
"······This feels like a scoop everywhere, including Hollywood."
It was at this point that everyone, including Joseph, noticed one thing. A secrecy oath that the 'Beneficial Evil' side took very seriously. At this moment, all my doubts about the unusually tight security were resolved.
"It was an attempt to hide Miley Cara's participation."
What would happen if this matter became known in Korea? I didn't know it, but it was obvious that a tsunami far beyond the level of chaos would hit.
at that time.
"Okay, see you later."
After briefly saying hello, Miley Kara moved toward the vacant lot of the abandoned factory where Woojin was. The group of foreigners other than Joseph and Kara just quietly watched Kara's back. Then the stunt team leader Foreigner asked Joseph. Both eyes are still dilated.
"Joseph, didn't you know?"
"Not at all. Miley appearing in this work is an action that goes beyond my common sense several times. "I didn't know, either."
"oh my god. "How on earth do things work?"
Meanwhile, the center of the 'Beneficial Evil' filming location, where over 200 staff members are moving steadily. Kang Woo-jin, who was where key figures including PD Man-woo Song were gathered, was holding a second gun. This time it was a pistol. Glock 17. Woojin continues to express his curiosity.
'Wow – isn't it really the same as the real thing?? So it feels more vibrant and tastes better. 'It's not coming.'
But I can't express this frivolous exclamation outwardly. It was when Woojin, with an indifferent face, lifted the Glock 17 he was holding with both hands.
"uh?"
"Look over there, over there."
"Eh??"
"What's wrong with you?"
"That blonde foreign girl – no way."
The area around Kang Woo-jin is becoming very bustling. Everyone who was busy moving around, including the hundreds of 'Beneficial Evil' staff, Thai local staff, and actors, began to look at one place as if they were salty. There was a blonde woman accompanied by fifteen large foreign guards. No, Miley Cara was leisurely crossing the center of the filming site.
This is the time.
"Kara? Isn't that Miley Kara??"
More than 200 people clearly recognized Miley Kara. A frenzied struggle that goes beyond fuss pours out.
"Uh- really? no! That's right!!"
"Miley Kara?!"
"Huh!! It's the real Miley Kara!!"
"what??! where?"
"Over there!! "It's Miley Kara, right??!!!"
"Wow!!! crazy!!"
It was normal to stop and open your mouth while moving equipment. All the staff members shouted loudly and focused their attention on Kara.
However, not everyone was out of their minds. People who already knew about Kara's appearance laughed or remained calm. Producer Song Man-woo, writer Choi Nana, general director Kim So-hyang, and Choi Seong-geon, as well as some key staff guided by producer Song Man-woo in advance. Among them was Ethan. Anyway, the filming site where about 200 people gathered fell into chaos. Shouts and shouts rang out. In a situation filled with shock and embarrassment, Kara easily reached Kang Woojin and smiled.
"The gun suits you well."
Kang Woo-jin answered lowly.
"Would you like to try it?"
"Anyway, I've used a lot of guns. "I bet he looks better on you than me."
"You'll know when you see it."
"Give it to me."
Although the filming location was in a state of panic, Woojin and Kara chatted lightly as if they were out to have fun. Then, Kara also paid attention to producer Song Man-woo and others. A brief exchange of greetings. Behind her, Kara lifted the Glock 17 in her hand and started shooting.
– Bang bang bang!
Three shots fired. Kang Woo-jin sees it from the side.
"······"
Although his poker face was world-famous, he was unconsciously fascinated by Kara's profile. A woman with blonde hair down to her chest, sunglasses pulled up on her head, a white tank top, slightly ripped hot pants, and black beaded sandals is grinding her pistol. This kind of sight was not something you see often. Woojin muttered instinctively. Of course, inside.
'The fucking picture is crazy, seriously.'
Kara, who had no idea about this, lowered her pistol and asked Woojin.
"how is it?"
Woojin, who barely came to his senses, answered coldly.
"It's okay."
"Are compliments too expensive?"
"Not really."
Here, producer Song Man-woo, holding a loudspeaker in one hand, joined in.
"Miley, I'm going to calm down the staff a little bit."
His words were relayed to Kara through an interpreter.
"Of course, I'm fine."
Producer Song Man-woo, who received consent, shouted loudly into the loudspeaker.
"everyone! "Look from here to the front!"
Soon, about 200 staff members came running like a horde of zombies.
The next day, the 21st, Bangkok.
Early moning. Among the many five-star hotels in the bustling city of Bangkok, the 'Kempinski Hotel' is a different hotel from the 'Good Evil' team. Perhaps because it is a huge 5-star hotel, the lobby with the fountain was overflowing with guests even though it was morning. There was a large restaurant next to the main building of the hotel. This one is also quite luxurious.
More than half of the seats have already been filled. Because it was a buffet-style breakfast.
-♬♪
In a calm classical atmosphere, familiar faces were seen at the round tables next to the window. A group of about 20 Hollywood foreigners came to see 'Beneficial Evil' and were shocked by Miley Kara, whom they saw yesterday. However, Joseph and Megan were not seen. They were still busy talking about Kara as if their excitement had not subsided.
The stunt team and executives at 'Universal Movies' were all the same.
"I listened to what that bearded producer said yesterday and it was Miley. No, I felt like she had a pretty important role."
Of course, decibels are quite small. It's almost buried in classical music. In addition, they completely hid Miley Cara's name and referred to her as 'her'.
"You saw her rehearsing, right? Just watching her shoot the gun or checking the storyboard didn't seem like it would just show her face for a moment and end."
"After looking at the rehearsal, it seems like the filming is bigger than I thought."
"First of all, since we have casted Ethan, it means that he will give strength to the action. "Yesterday's car explosion test was worth seeing."
"Same goes for shooting rehearsals. Since vehicles were inspected in the city, car chases would also be included."
"······The filming is good because there is more to see than I expected, but I'm still surprised to see her here. How on earth did she roast and boil her?"
"Was it Kang Woo-jin? "It looks like there is a story with that Korean actor."
The conversation naturally flowed towards Kang Woo-jin.
"hmm. Kang Woo-jin – Come to think of it, Joseph said that the reason he made this schedule was because of that Korean actor, right?"
"that's right. "We just said that there was an actor we were interested in before going to Cannes so let's take a quick look at him."
"······If you have any connection to Hollywood, you would understand my relationship with her, but it was my first time seeing her. "I heard it's very popular in Korea and Japan."
An exec from 'Universal Movies' provided an explanation.
"It's not just Korea and Japan. It seems to have been quite popular here in Thailand as well. It was amazing to see Kang Woo-jin's SNS and YouTube channels. "It's already well known overseas."
Among the people who heard the story, the leader of the stunt team scratched his chin.
"It's a journey with many twists and turns, but – well, it's a bit difficult to understand why so many people moved just for the sake of that actor Kang Woo-jin."
"hmm."
"In particular, my biggest question is why Joseph brought our stunt team along. "The filming site I saw yesterday was interesting, but even though it may be unusual in Korea, isn't that standard among the basics in Hollywood?"
"I agree."
It was true. It is said that the version of 'beneficial evil' is new and significant in Korea, but from a Hollywood perspective, it was a picture that was nothing special. Then the stunt team members joined in.
"The feel of the rehearsal is that it is likely to be an action cut, and I think 'CQC' is also included. However, no matter how much Ethan participated… 'CQC' and action directing where Korean actors can be seen – well, I think it's a shame that he came here only for that."
All of the characters here have a long history in Hollywood. So, even if I looked at the half-baked motions, it was clear that it wouldn't work.
"His shooting stance was good. "Both rifles and pistols."
"If you have an expert, you can learn that level within a few days."
"Even Hollywood's best actors struggle with action scenes that include 'CQC'. For them, the focus will be on how best they can embody it."
"Well, it would be nice if the acting part was included. "If you only look at the action designs of actor Kang Woo-jin, there's nothing really new."
The shock I received yesterday was a shock, and the reality that came out of it was harsh.
"Anyway, we should leave soon. Did you say the main filming was at noon? "Call Joseph."
Meanwhile, at this time.
Several people were moving to the filming location of 'Beneficial Evil' from all over Bangkok. Miley Kara and her 15 guards and team loaded into a large van that had left the hotel a few tens of minutes ago.
"······"
"Miley, what are you thinking? "I don't think I was nervous about starting filming."
"I feel strange."
"Do you feel strange?"
"I have worked on the project countless times and even have experience shooting in Bangkok, but for some reason I was nervous about today's shoot. "Are you excited?"
Jonathan, the half-shaved manager, tilted his head.
"Why? Is it because it is my first time working with a Korean work?"
"I don't know, there might be something like that, but it also includes Kang Woo-jin. "I've seen him act before, but it's my first time acting with him and we worked together faster than I expected."
"It was confirmed that we would be working on the same project."
Kara shook her blonde hair and smiled slightly.
"Of course, I have no intention of ending with this."
"······Joseph's work. After a brief investigation, the team is in the process of being formed, but it doesn't seem like a clear scenario has been created yet. "I assume at least a synopsis has been released."
"okay? "Then I need to talk to Joseph."
The manager asked Kara again as she crossed her slender legs.
"Today's filming, you should never overdo it. "As you well know."
"I know."
"What are you worried about?"
"There is no such thing. I'm just looking forward to Kang Woo-jin's action. Ha- this is the first time I'm this curious about another actor's thing."
"I'm worried. The movement he made when he saved you was significant, but the filming is separate from that. Whatever it is, this is Kang Woo-jin's first time doing action in his filmography. "The possibility of being clumsy is high and it could lead to an accident."
"······Besides all that, he was so relaxed yesterday."
"I guess that's Kang Woo-jin's nature. "If you let your guard down, accidents will inevitably happen."
"Okay, I just shot a few movies, so don't nag me."
Kara responded slightly coldly and moved her blue eyes out the window.
"The filming starts with Kang Woo-jin's long take, so you can judge whether it's dangerous or not by looking at that."
Same time.
Kang Woo-jin was also traveling to the filming site of 'Beneficial Evil' in a van.
"hmm-"
The script for episode 1 of 'Beneficial Evil' and the action storyboard for 'CQC' were on his lap, and Woojin, who was looking down at them, thought about something and decided.
'As expected, Assistant Manager Park suits him.'
It was to confirm 'role composition' and 'freedom of role'.
'The degree of freedom – clearly follow the storyboard, but emphasize freedom. It felt like a bit of fun. okay.'
There are 3 hours left until the 'Beneficial Evil' crank-in.
