Capítulo 16: 271 - Chronicles 2
< Chronicles (2) >
'Iyota Kiyoshi' was a stranger and a stranger from the beginning. From high school to the moment he finished his homework and returned to his daily life. He had no connection with anyone and was cut off from everyone.
But what if Misaki Toka was alive?
What if the connection with her remained unbroken? What if it developed and Kiyoshi and Toka grew up? The situation would have been completely different. Such personal things make people live.
The catalyst in human life is surprisingly small.
Most people breathe with only fingernail-sized expectations or hopes. For Kiyoshi, it may have been Toka. But he disappeared. He has become a complete stranger and stranger. Or maybe he would have turned darker than that. But does revenge and homework have no meaning?
Who can point a finger at him and curse him?
Maybe Kiyoshi wanted to live.
They would have realized the meaning of life as 'homework' and acted accordingly.
How can you live without doing anything? He made a sound decision. It doesn't matter if you say it's selfish or if your method is wrong. victim? attacker? What does that mean?
It's just reality. Something happened. A phenomenon occurred.
Kiyoshi's life has already gone wrong. In order for him to survive, he had to somehow go back to square one. He's not at the level of struggling, but he's just calmly doing his homework.
Purpose, goals, dreams. Another Malone hope.
For Kiyoshi, it would be revenge. Please watch from somewhere. Someday I will become a prosecutor. After finishing everything, Kiyoshi Iyota went into hiding in his daily life.
Staring as a 'stranger'.
It is unclear whether what he sees is the camera, the audience, Toka Misaki, or his own life.
One thing that is certain is that it is the origin.
The world-renowned author Akari Takikawa, who wrote the original work of 'The Strange Gisaeng', was amazing. Of course, it was because of the ending that Director Kyotaro brought in as a request for revision. Author Akari, with glasses on the tip of his nose, lowered the paper in his hand.
And then.
'Woojin suggested this ending?'
It reminded me of Korean actor Kang Woo-jin. The reason she was so surprised was simple. Because it was the ending she had thought about in the past.
No, clearly this ending was real.
'The details are a little different, but the end is similar.'
The ending of the first draft of 'Familiar Gisaeng' before publication was that Kiyoshi lives mixed with ordinary people. Of course, the detailed scenes and directing are completely different from what Director Kyotaro brought, but the meaning is the same. However, writer Akari at the time broke the ending that had been set.
Because there were too many interests.
Additionally, her fans around the world were also a problem. The atmosphere of the past era also played a role. Whatever it was, the original ending had to be buried in author Akari's heart. After a very long time, an actor from another country suddenly brought out the ending that had been buried.
'Why on earth did I think like this?'
Akari is a writer whose many works have been turned into movies and dramas. However, so far, not once has any actor offered a correction to writer Akari. This is Kang Woo-jin's first time.
Writer Akari's eyes slowly landed on Director Kyotaro across from him.
"Did Woojin suggest this direction and detailed settings?"
Director Kyotaro shook his head slightly.
"no. I added detailed settings such as scenes, locations, and directing. But the core idea was Woojin's."
"In a way."
"Denying causal retribution."
Director Kyotaro, full of gray hair, calmly recited the words he heard from Woojin.
"For Kiyoshi, justice and justice do not suit him, and eating well and living well without harm is what suits him."
"······Eating well and living well."
"yes. "They also say that Kiyoshi Iyota seems to be broken."
"after-"
A smile quickly spread on author Akari's face.
"I guess Woojin was looking at Kiyoshi sincerely."
"That's right, because it's a conclusion that can't be reached otherwise."
"What a strange actor. I'm watching it all while pretending not to, and I know it all while pretending not to know. "I feel like my insides have been exposed."
"Are you being exposed?"
Author Akari, who exhaled lightly in response to the question, explained the past of the 'unfamiliar parasite'. That the first ending existed. crushing it. And to this day.
"When I think about it now, I think I was probably scared. So I adjusted Kiyoshi to reality. Even though I know it means running away."
"······I understand. I was like that in the past too. No, not even until now. I think the result is probably what created the current Japanese content market. "Everyone is so scared."
The two giants smiled slightly bitterly. Among them, the first to speak was author Akari.
"There is so much to learn even at this age. I never thought I would learn from a Korean actor. "I envy your fearless spirit rather than your cold-heartedness."
"Kang Woo-jin was like that from the beginning. A monster who does not compromise with the world. "It is a realm of talent and cannot be imitated."
In an instant, author Akari, with a serious expression on her face, changed the topic.
"If you go to this conclusion, it will directly contradict the Japanese content market that has been concentrated so far. A declaration of war that we will destroy."
"I know."
"There will probably be a disaster. Extreme backlash from the public, huge complaints from fans of the original work, and fierce resistance from the industry. "You will never be welcomed."
"There will also be huge controversies and harsh criticism. Still, I think I will regret it for the rest of my life if it doesn't end this way."
Director Kyotaro made eye contact with author Akari and smiled gently.
"If you want to change something, it's natural for someone to bleed. Oh, of course, the author's permission is the most important."
"······The beginning of a war that will shake all of Japan. Am I the only one looking forward to the scene where I explode with swear words? I think it would be fun. It's better to be hit by a tidal wave of wind and rain than to be calm after opening. More than anything, I want to see what I couldn't do in the past."
Writer Akari gave a laugh-filled answer with a thumbs up.
"I call."
"Thank you, author."
"But is it okay that the director is the only one carrying the gun? "You can talk about me in the press release."
"no. We can't harm the original author. And besides me, Woojin will also share it. Because you are the actor who played the role. So I told him in advance."
"···What did Woojin answer?"
"I said, 'It doesn't really matter.'"
"That's a good answer."
Author Akari burst out laughing and recalled Kang Woo-jin's calm face.
"Someday, I'll try to use you as the main character in my work."
A few hours later, around late lunch.
Kang Woo-jin could be found on the set of 'Familiar Gisaeng'. About 100 staff members moving around busily. Japanese actors doing their own thing, such as watching storyboards. The convening of 'Unfamiliar Gisaeng' was a little late today. It was because of Director Kyotaro's schedule. Still, Woojin's clothes and makeup while sitting on the chair had changed to Kiyoshi's.
As expected, it is solemn. However, Almaengi is thinking about something else.
'Phew – I'm suddenly craving spicy soybean paste stew. This is a problem when you come to another country, tsk. 'I can't do it. I'll have to tell him to go to a Korean restaurant today.'
Of course, on the surface, it appears that he is looking at the storyboard cynically.
It was then.
"Mr. Woojin!!"
Between sets, where monitors and key staff gathered, the assistant director called Kang Woo-jin. Is it a standby? She did but it wasn't.
"Are you okay for a moment??!"
After exchanging glances with Choi Seong-gun, Kang Woo-jin got up from his chair and walked briskly. As Woojin approached, the assistant director and key staff left their seats. What remained were director Kyotaro, who held the filming storyboard, and Mana Kosaku, who played the role of detective Mochio Yoshizawa.
As the three gathered together, Director Kyotaro opened his mouth.
"The ending of 'Unfamiliar Parasite' changes."
Soon, Mana Kosaku's eyes with dark facial lines widened slightly. On the contrary, Kang Woo-jin maintained her poker face. Because I already expected it rather than just the concept.
'Oh-awesome, does that mean it worked??'
It was natural since it was Kang Woo-jin who suggested it in the first place. Kosaku then became more serious and asked back.
"The ending changes? "What does that mean? How much is removed from the existing scenario?"
"I'm taking out the last part of 'Iyota Kiyoshi' and starting anew. However, there is no need to change the footage that has already been filmed, and the scenes of other actors will not change much."
It was natural for Kiyoshi and Detective Mochiogi to take responsibility for the latter half and ending of 'The Stranger.' All other characters are eliminated before then.
"There won't be much change in Mr. Kosaku's scenes. But your emotions and thoughts will change. Of course, Kiyoshi will be the one who will turn 180 degrees from the previous one."
Of course, it was Kang Woo-jin who led the latter half of the play and the ending of 'The Strange Gisaeng'. The directing and the scene itself change. On the other hand, Kosaku, who will play the role of a detective, retains most of his scenes. Still, I had to be aware of the changing emotions.
"I already informed the other actors. The filming team is moving forward with the changed ending, and the writer was okay with it. I will deliver the revised storyboard to you both within today. But for now, just read the contents from the dictionary."
Director Kyotaro delivered the papers he had prepared to Kang Woo-jin and Kosaku. At the same time, the two actors stood and read the script. Including the changed ending of 'Familiar Gisaeng', there were also scenes in which the emotions and directing continued back and forth without being overpowering.
Woojin, who had a strong face, was purely impressed on the inside.
'Woah, what is this? It tickles a little?? That's right, Kiyoshi has some impact like this.'
He liked the cut. Additionally, I applauded Director Kyotaro's abilities. It was a few days ago that Kang Woo-jin proposed an idea. However, Director Kyotaro came up with an interesting ending within that short period of time. Is this really a virtuoso? The pace of work and the level of scenario work were clearly top tier.
About this way.
"······"
A slight embarrassment appeared on Kosaku's face. Content modifications are frequent even while filming other works. In any case, the actor must follow the change. Because the final decision maker is the director. Still, it was the first time in Kosakuro that the ending changed 180 degrees like this.
even.
'Ji, are you really going to go to this ending? I'm serious? 'At this level, getting criticized is not enough.'
The changed ending of 'Familiar Gisaeng' was somewhat shocking. It was more than a pioneer. The changed ending of 'Unfamiliar Gisaeng' is about to step into the history of the Japanese content market. Kosaku, who has been in the entertainment industry for a long time, spoke frankly about his feelings.
"···Director. Are you sure you're going to this ending?"
"I'm sure."
"If things continue like this… die-hard fans of the original may rise up."
"Once it's over, it's sorted out in a small way."
"yes?"
Director Kyotaro, who was recalling a future in which nuclear bombs explode due to controversy or backlash, smiled slightly. His expression was full of determination.
"Nevertheless, the ending of 'The Unfamiliar Parasite' is confirmed without any hesitation."
backwards.
Before filming began, Mana Kosaku spoke to Kang Woo-jin. I'm a little cautious.
"Woojin, are you really okay? "Of all the actors, the arrows of attack will probably be aimed at Woojin the most."
Kosaku was an average top actor. Because the image of Woojin falling is clear, extreme anxiety is predicted. There are many such experiences. Anyway, Kang Woo-jin's low-toned answer was simple.
"It's minor."
It wasn't. It won't be a small thing. However, Kang Woo-jin had nothing to do with it.
'It's okay if I just give it a go, right?'
Woojin, who was a small citizen at heart, had a different personality and mindset from other actors. I didn't commit a crime, so who cares? Ignoring is the answer.
Kosaku interpreted this differently. Because Kang Woo-jin's atmosphere was so upright.
'That's cool. It's not bravado or bravado. I humbly accept it without ignoring it, but I don't dwell on it.'
It is arrogance with the root, not heartlessness, but not recklessness. Mana Kosaku thought he had to learn from his heart.
'Even after only two years, he has already achieved top qualities and has the attitude of a big player.'
Kang Woo-jin was thinking about something else.
'If it gets too bad, you can just go to Korea, right? Ah – I guess I'll just be in Korea by then?'
Kosaku asked calmly.
"······Is it trivial?"
Woojin, who had an iron plate on his face, lowered his voice even more.
"Yes, very much."
"It's amazing, in many ways."
What's so great about this all of a sudden? There was a faint smell of misunderstanding, but Woojin did not ask.
It was a familiar scent.
As the hectic Saturday came to an end, Sunday the 23rd dawned. The 'unfamiliar parasite' team gathered on the set early in the morning. Among them, Director Kyotaro, wearing a hat tightly pressed down, asked the distributor.
"Have you decided on the release dates for Japan and Korea?"
"After releasing in Japan first, we are planning to release in Korea between two weeks and one month. "We will let you know as soon as it is confirmed."
"hmm."
Director Kyotaro this time asked the production team.
"If you change the ending, how much do you think the shooting schedule will be pushed back?"
"I looked it up yesterday, but it doesn't make a big difference than I thought. About two days with the help of assistants or location cooperation."
"Not bad."
"However, expenses will inevitably be incurred for parts that have been selected in advance from existing filming cuts."
"are you okay. "I spoke directly to the investors."
Main investor. In other words, we are talking about Chairman Hideki.
"Two days delay."
After briefly reciting, Director Kyotaro summed it up.
"Then the crank-up is confirmed for Friday the 28th."
Today is the 23rd, and it was said that there were only about 5 days left until the filming of 'Unfamiliar Parasite' ended.
Then a few tens of minutes later.
Inside a black luxury sedan driving on a road in Tokyo. It was the car of Chairman Hideki Yoshimura, head of the Kashihi Group, who also had white hair on his eyebrows. Chairman Hideki, who was sitting in the back seat, put down his cell phone while talking on the phone with someone. The other person was director Kyotaro, who would be on set for 'The Stranger.'
"hey."
Chairman Hideki, who heard the news from Director Kyotaro, called Chief of Staff Lili, who was sitting in the front passenger seat. Then Lili, who had an upright posture, turned her body back.
"Yes, Chairman."
Chairman Hideki gave instructions to her.
"The schedule for the 28th has been postponed until the visit to the 'Unfamiliar Parasite' site. "You have to keep the last thing in mind."
After giving instructions, Chairman Hideki looked out the window and smiled slightly.
"Kang Woo-jin – I wonder what the final decoration of 'Familiar Gisaeng' will be."
Meanwhile.
Kang Woo-jin just woke up on a bed in a hotel room.
"Ah, I'm so tired."
In my dazed mind, I picked up any of the scripts or scenarios piled up on the nearby table. It was to rest a little more due to the accumulated fatigue.
-Poof!
Kang Woo-jin enters an endlessly dark subspace. He yawned and stretched. All I had to do was lie down.
That moment.
"ah."
Woojin, who had been habitually looking at the white squares, stopped. Because I saw a change in one of the white squares, the 'unfamiliar parasitic'.

Rather than dropping, the grade actually went up.
