IWMMGA Chapter 411

Episode 411 Roaring Sound (6)

In fact, the ‘Mise-en-scène Short Film Festival’ sent an invitation request to Kang Woo-jin every year. Woo-jin was the one who received the award in the year that the Mise-en-scène Film Festival first established the ‘Acting Grand Prize’, and since Kang Woo-jin’s status was enormous, it was a natural step. In fact, because his spirit was so great, the ‘Best Acting Award’ was changed to ‘Kang Woo-jin Award’.

However, Kang Woo-jin has refused the request from the Mise-en-Scène Film Festival. There wasn’t a big reason. It’s just because Kang Woo-jin is too busy.

It was the same this year too.

An invitation came in around the time Woojin left for LA, but I politely declined this time because I didn’t know what his schedule would be like in Hollywood. However, Kang Woo-jin suddenly appeared at the ‘Mise-en-scène Short Film Festival’. No one knew. No, to be exact, no one knew that Woojin was in Korea right now.

This includes all domestic media opinions.

It was natural. Because Kang Woo-jin entered Korea very secretly and in great secrecy. There may be many reasons, but the biggest problem was accidents caused by reporters and fans flocking to the airport. Whatever it was, no one knew that Kang Woo-jin had returned to Korea.

A thunderous appearance.

I declined it in advance, but fortunately it fit well with my schedule for returning to Korea. When Kang Woo-jin arrived at the back of the hall at the ‘Mise-en-scène Short Film Festival’.

“……”

Although he had a very cynical face, he was deeply moved on the inside. A little fuss is a bonus.

‘Wow – it’s been a while since Mise-en-scène! It seems like yesterday that I received my first acting award here, but it was already several years ago.’

Choi Seong-geon, who was standing behind Kang Woo-jin, who had no idea about this, put his hand on Woo-jin’s shoulder and said,

“Are memories coming up? You won the ‘Best Acting Award’ here and you had a relationship with director Kyotaro, right? “Do you remember?”

“Yes, CEO.”

How can you forget that? When I think about it, it was also the day I first showed off my Japanese skills. In addition, top actress Hong Hye-yeon received the best acting award and Kang Woo-jin received the grand prize, causing an uproar in Korea.

“You know what I heard, right? “The ‘acting grand prize’ here is now called the ‘Kang Woo-jin Award’?”

‘Kang Woo-jin Award’. Woojin also knew this. All the new actors were anxious to receive it or something. The more crazy Kang Woo-jin goes, the more the value of the ‘Kang Woo-jin Award’ increases.

“It’s a trickle-down effect. It’s a trickle-down effect. Because the influence of your name has grown, the ‘Kang Woo-jin Award’ continues to grow in size. “Mise-en-scène is actually a movie famous for discovering new directors, but since the appearance of the ‘Kang Woo-jin Award,’ the image of a gateway for new actors has been firmly established.”

The new actor who received the ‘Kang Woo-jin Award’ last year also became a hot topic, and now, thanks to his firepower, he is doing better than other new actors. Of course, the new actor will also try his best to avoid being recognized as the winner of the ‘Kang Woo-jin Award’.

A virtuous cycle?

Soon Choi Seong-geon came next to Kang Woo-jin and spoke again.

“But the new actor receiving the ‘Kang Woo-jin Award’ this year is a huge hit. It’s already a hot topic in the entertainment industry, including the media, but today, Kang Woo-jin himself gives the ‘Kang Woo-jin Award’, right? Even for my first schedule after returning to Korea from Hollywood. “When I learn, I will cry. I will cry.”

It was an accurate judgment. If it were a painting like this, you probably wouldn’t know it, but your concentration would be several times higher than usual. New actors who have lived in obscurity until now are receiving attention they have never experienced before. Woojin couldn’t believe it.

‘Do I have to cry? More than that, it’s really exciting because it’s an award with my name on it.’

Following.

-Sigh.

Woojin, dressed in a suit, went on stage. Although it was not a very large stage, the hundreds of people gathered in front were quite large. The host, who suddenly sees Woojin right in front of him, opens his mouth and lets out an involuntary exclamation.

“Wow – the real Kang Woojin.”

It wasn’t the feeling of seeing a celebrity; it was the feeling of witnessing a legendary animal that surpassed all that. This proves that Kang Woo-jin’s global power is formidable. Either way, Kang Woo-jin.

“……”

I casually made eye contact with the host. Asking for a microphone. At this point, the emcee, who had brought in the absent spirit, stepped forward and handed the microphone to him. Kang Woo-jin, holding the microphone, turned his gaze to the front. The audience is filled with many big names, top actors, and new directors and actors.

‘Ah, Director Kwon Ki-taek. It’s been a while. Square jaw. No, not even Director Shin Dong-chun.’

The big names were generally people who had a close relationship with Kang Woo-jin. However, all of them had their eyes wide open. It seems they didn’t know that Woojin would appear. The ones who showed the most extreme reactions were the new directors and actors. They showed various reactions as if they had seen some kind of ghost.

They were busy looking at Woojin with a dumbfounded look, shouting out Kang Woojin’s name in embarrassment, or exclaiming things like wow or wow.

One thing is certain.

“Hello, this is Kang Woo-jin.”

Everyone is looking up to Woojin, who just gave everyone the most humble greeting. Director Kwon Ki-taek, who was embarrassed at this point, smiled warmly in the front row of the audience.

‘It seems like he entered Korea without even a rat or a bird knowing, but the first step he took upon returning to Korea was this mise-en-scène – does this mean that even though he appears cold on the outside, he still takes care of his memories in his own way? Anyway, I can’t figure out what’s inside.’

Square-jawed director Shin Dong-chun even waved at Kang Woo-jin in joy.

and.

“I’m crazy!! Kang Woo-jin??!”

The dozen reporters lined up at the back of the hall went berserk.

“Why is Kang Woo-jin here??!! “Aren’t you in Hollywood?!”

“That’s not the problem now!! Get out of the way! “If you don’t want to take pictures, don’t take up the space!”

“Uh-hey! “Don’t push!!”

“Wow – as soon as I turn Hollywood upside down and return to Korea, give me the ‘Kang Woo-jin Award’ in person??! The actor who received the ‘Kang Woo-jin Award’ this year was angry?!”

It was worth it because the unexpected ‘world star’ Kang Woo-jin suddenly appeared.

-Pababababak!

-Babababababaak!

The flash barrage, which had been a bit static until just before, suddenly became so frequent that it was mind-boggling.

In the meantime.

“…Many people will be waiting, so we will announce it right away.”

On stage, Kang Woo-jin, who had a strong concept, called the name of the new actor for this year’s ‘Kang Woo-jin Award’ into the microphone. It’s boring to just do it, so try to be a little playful.

“‘Kang Woo-jin Award’. No, ‘acting target’. Congratulations, actor Seo Ji-won.”

In the announcement, the ‘Kang Woo-jin Award’ was intentionally mentioned, and as soon as the name was called, the female actor sitting in the middle of the audience stood up and screamed.

“Kyaak!! how! Me?!! really?!”

She was jumping around in disbelief as if she was going to faint, but then jumped on stage receiving many congratulations. Although he was not very tall, he was an actor with an attractive mask. What was interesting was the change in attitude of the female actor on stage. The tension was so high up until just before, but as soon as I got close to Kang Woo-jin on stage, I froze.

“……Ah oh. Wow, senior. “I’m so excited right now… no, I’m so grateful.”

Woojin looked at her calmly, but inside he was giving her strength.

‘You’re so upset. Should I help you calm down?’

Woojin, who had thought about it for himself, shook her hand and said a few words before giving her the trophy.

“See you on set.”

Very simple and gentle tone. The encouragement to work hard and meet someday is hidden, but is a new female actress called Seo Ji-won.

“……yes?? Me and him on set – Sigh! Hehehe!”

Suddenly, I started sobbing on stage. In response, Kang Woo-jin maintained a poker face.

“……”

Inside, I was openly embarrassed.

‘why?! Why are you crying??! Did I say something wrong??

after.

The new actor, who was in tears, managed to calm down and the ‘Kang Woo-jin Award’ trophy was handed to her. However, her eyes felt like Kang Woo-jin in front of her was more of an honor than a trophy.

After receiving so many awards, this year’s ‘Mise-en-scène Short Film Festival’ came to an end.

However, Kang Woo-jin did not leave immediately and took the scheduled photo time.

“Kang Woojin!! Mr. Kang Woo-jin!”

“this way! “Please look here!!”

“Please give me a hand heart!!!”

From group shots to individual shots, etc. Kang Woo-jin, who took pictures at least 20 times, also briefly chatted with the new female actor who received the ‘Kang Woo-jin Award’ today.

“I! I! I will work really hard, senior! “Be sure to act with your seniors on set!”

“Okay, see you then.”

“thank you!”

There were also brief updates on the current status of major domestic directors such as director Kwon Ki-taek, Shin Dong-chun, and director Kim Do-hee. In the meantime, the flash showers on Woojin continued, and hundreds of new directors and actors were also busy taking pictures of Woojin with their cell phones. Of course, there were many requests for autographs.

According to his original schedule, he should have left right away, but Kang Woo-jin stayed here for about an hour.

As soon as Kang Woo-jin finished organizing things with difficulty, he got into the black van.

‘Phew – it was pretty intense.’

I let out a long sigh inside. The van leaves as is. Choi Seong-geon and his teammates were noisy. It was really my first time in Korea, and my first steps upon returning were quite novel. The destination of the van carrying Kang Woo-jin was his house in Samseong-dong. In fact, Woojin arrived in Korea this morning, so he had to get some rest. To be exact, about 3 days of holiday were given.

Although the schedule was packed with Hollywood, Korea, and Japan, Kang Woo-jin needed some rest.

Seong-geon Choi recommended a week, but Woo-jin Kang shortened it to three days.

It was late afternoon when he arrived home.

“H-Shiba, how long has it been since you last home?”

Kang Woo-jin immediately throws away his concept. Rather than unpacking my luggage, I threw my body on the bed.

“Phew!!”

Although it was comfortable because it was a private plane, Woojin was probably tired.

“……”

I fell into sleep. However, the country was not quiet like Kang Woo-jin.

『[Star Photo] Kang Woo-jin, a ‘world star’ who suddenly appeared at the ‘Mise-en-scène Short Film Festival’ / Photo』

『Wasn’t he in Hollywood? ‘Kang Woo-jin Award’ presented just before Kang Woo-jin appeared at Mise-en-scène Film Festival』

『Kang Woo-jin’s secret return to Korea turned the ‘Mise-en-scène Short Film Festival’ upside down!』

Because Kang Woo-jin’s return to Korea, which no one knew about, was blowing up like a big deal.

『Rookie actor Seo Ji-won, who received the ‘Kang Woo-jin Award’ directly from the thunderous ‘Kang Woo-jin’, said, “I achieved my lifelong dream” Tears filled / Photo』

Because her achievements in Hollywood were so great, articles poured in every second and minute. Of course, the ‘Mise-en-scène Short Film Festival’ and ‘Kang Woo-jin Award’ were also included in the article. It was just that Kang Woo-jin returned to Korea, but the upheaval was severe. This news even quickly spread to Japan.

『Japan’s ‘The Prince Returns’, which mainly covers the news of Kang Woo-jin’s return to Korea』

1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours. Naturally, this explosive atmosphere continued even in the early morning when Kang Woo-jin fell asleep.

-omg!!! Is Kang Woo-jin back??? suddenly??

-Kang~~ It’s romantic. Kang Woo-jin hahaha. As soon as he came back, he went to the place where he received his first award

.

.

.

Around dawn on the 13th, when Kang Woo-jin instinctively opened his eyes.

“Ugh – what kind of contacts have piled up like this?”

Kang Woo-jin was everywhere in Korea.

Meanwhile, LA.

In LA, where Kang Woo-jin left, it was around 1 o’clock, just past noon, unlike in Korea, where it was early morning. The entire United States, including LA, was still in an uproar over the ‘Beast and Beauty’ that broke out a few days ago, and the issue of ‘beneficial evil’, which had gained even more power, was also attracting attention.

There was so much interest that foreign media openly covered Woojin’s secret return to Korea.

Around this time, in a meeting room at LA’s huge ‘Columbia Studios’, several foreigners and an old Korean were wrapping up their conversation. The old Korean was director Ahn Ga-bok of the movie ‘Cierrot: Birth of a Villain.’

“Then, thank you, Chris.”

The handsome top Hollywood actor with dark brown eyes, who had just shaken hands with director Anga Bok, smiled.

“That’s me. Director, I will try my best to give strength to the ‘cinematic universe’ in my work.”

It was Chris Hartnett. After saying hello, Chris and the team left the meeting room. As soon as he left, the female producer of ‘Cierrot: Birth of a Villain’ let out a small sigh.

“Phew – even Chris Hartnett has been confirmed. Still, I didn’t know that Chris would want to play a role other than the lead role.”

Other foreigners nodded in agreement. Meanwhile, unlike other foreigners, director Ga-bok Ang has a wrinkled face and his thoughts are wandering.

-Sigh.

I muttered quietly while looking at the expected schedule on the tablet. It was in Korean.

“The script reading should be scheduled for at least May.”
