The genius actor who brings misfortune (518)
Today was the day that ‘Spider’ was released for the first time in the world in Cannes.
This film, a collaboration between director Yoon Kang-yeon, winner of the Palme d’Or, and actress Lee Yeon-jae, winner of the Best Actor Award, has garnered a lot of attention even before its release.
In front of the theater, there were many people standing holding signs that said, ‘I need tickets.’
Their faces looked very eager, but unfortunately, it was not easy to get tickets.
Most people returned home in disappointment, having failed to get tickets, and only those with tickets were allowed to go inside.
“(Ha, I’m seeing this with my own eyes…)”
Inside the Lumiere Theater where Spider is being shown.
The people sitting in the seats whispered with excited faces.
“(You’ll finish it this time too, right? I just finished watching Twins again yesterday.)”
“(Me too. Even if I see it after a long time, a masterpiece is still a masterpiece.)”
“(Don’t expect too much. You might be disappointed.)”
“(Oh, that’s true.)”
“(I just wish it would start sooner. When on earth is it going to start?)”
No matter how small the whispering was, there was a limit.
When the number of people whispering reached two thousand, it was bound to turn into a murmur.
But there was a time when the somewhat chaotic atmosphere was momentarily enveloped in silence.
It was the moment when the director and actors entered the theater.
‘wow.’
Director Yoon Kang-yeon, who rarely gives interviews and is kept under wraps, was actually quite tall.
He was a middle-aged man with a more solid body than expected, without the belly fat that is common among people his age.
Next to him were two men who appeared to be actors.
Both of them looked like celebrities to anyone who saw them.
That is, all three of them were showing a warm appearance.
But even so… .
“(……oh.)”
“(oh my god.)”
I couldn’t beat Lee Yeon-jae.
He had the aura to captivate two thousand people in an instant.
Where was the little boy from Twins gone, and there stood a young man who had grown up in a flash.
‘beautiful….’
The silence was brief.
The theater became much noisier than before.
The surroundings were filled with words like ‘Beautiful.’, ‘Gorgeous.’, etc.
It was the moment when it became clear that all these people in the theater were only looking at Lee Yeon-jae.
“(Big, big.)”
The audience regained their composure only after Lee Yeon-jae took her seat.
The theater slowly grew dark and the commotion subsided completely.
The movie finally started.
* * *
[“That’s why I―.”]
A sound was heard along with the intro video introducing the production company and distributor.
[“No, at that time I―.”]
The sound, which was initially so quiet that it was hard to believe, grew louder as if it was right next to me by the time the intro video ended.
What is that sound?
[“Poohahak! Hey, I told you it wasn’t me!”]
[“I didn’t know! Honestly, this is him playing a trick on me. Admit it?”]
[“What kind of recognition is this? You’re just mistaken.”]
[“Here it goes again. Here it goes.”]
[“… … How is it that not a single person takes my side.]”
[“haha!”]
It was the sound of students chatting away.
The background to the sound, which made one feel youthful energy just by listening to it, was a classroom.
The camera captured the youthful energy that filled the classroom even though it was not even 8 a.m.
‘You’re cute.’
The audience smiled without realizing it.
Those guys probably go around saying that they’re big enough to be big enough, that they’re already spoiled.
But to the eyes of a member of society, the refreshing energy was clearly visible.
An energy that can only be felt by young boys and girls.
That kind of bright energy that is sometimes expressed by the word youth.
[―Ring ring.]
The teacher entered the classroom with the sound of a bell.
[“Okay, quiet! I told you yesterday, right? A transfer student is coming today. Here, say hello.]”
The teacher nodded to the side.
Then the male student standing next to the desk opened his mouth and smiled.
[“Hello, I’m Kim Lee-hyun. Please take care of me from now on.”
A male student named Kim Lee-Hyeon had a striking appearance.
Scenes of female students looking at him and exchanging glances, and some male students restraining him, passed by quickly.
[“Oh, Kim Lee-hyun is here. Hey!”]
Fortunately, Kim Lee-Hyeon blended in well with the group without any problems.
Kim Yi-hyeon looked like an ordinary student who chatted with his peers during recess, got scolded by his teacher for half-asleep during class, and wondered how to study on his own.
After several scenes that showed that some time had passed, a boy intruded into Kim I-Hyeon’s ordinary daily life.
[“Hey, you look handsome.”]
[“huh?”]
[“Do you know any girls?”]
A slovenly tone of speech, and a bad attire that doesn’t even include a proper white shirt.
Kim Lee-hyeon looked at the person in front of him for a moment and then smiled.
[“Well… I can’t say there isn’t any.”]
[“As expected. What are you doing tonight? Bring some girls out.”]
[“I think it’ll be difficult today because I have an appointment.”]
Kim Yi-hyeon had the wit to talk to boys whose names he didn’t even know without hesitation.
When he brought up the idea of making a place for them sometime, the other person said he believed him and hit Kim I-hyeon on the back hard.
Then he stormed out of the classroom.
[“… … .”]
It was at that moment that Kim Yi-hyeon was staring intently at that back.
[“Kim Lee-hyun, if possible, avoid getting involved with him.”]
His partner spoke to him.
Kim Lee-hyun answered with a puzzled face.
[“Why? My hands are a little sore, but they still look okay.”]
[“hey….”]
My partner hesitated for a moment, then lowered the volume of his voice.
[“Ha, I wasn’t going to say anything… but I’m telling you because you’re a good guy. Don’t tell me you heard it from me.”]
The scene suddenly changed.
[“He’s really trash. The worst of the worst, a total piece of crap! If you find out what he really is, you won’t be able to live in your right mind.”]
The boy continued to enjoy his nightlife, with his partner’s voice acting as narration.
The image of him drinking and smoking confidently while wearing his school uniform, the image of him touching girls who look as young as him without hesitation, the image of him fighting with someone while swearing harshly, etc.
[“Isn’t he the famous molka perpetrator in this neighborhood?”]
The partner lowered the volume of his voice even further.
[“A few months ago, I uploaded a video of me and a girl from the next class doing that to Telegram. The video spread everywhere. Eventually… the girl committed suicide.”]
[“What? Really?”]
[“Then you’re going to tell me this as a joke? The teacher told you not to tell anyone, so no one told you. Last week, we went to the charnel house as a group.”]
My partner was now speaking almost in a whisper.
[“He’s really not a normal crazy guy. Not only did he distribute the video, but he also went to a girl’s funeral and caused a commotion.”]
[“What the hell?”]
[“I told you that I played that video on my phone in front of my parents. I shared it with my friends and laughed. They’re crazy kids too.”]
[“… … Oh my, what should I do with my parents?”]
[“I mean, I was there at the time. Mom was half-passed out. Dad was yelling at me, asking what the hell was going on, and you know what that kid said?”]
My partner opened his mouth with a tired look on his face.

But the voice coming out of his mouth wasn’t his partner’s.
Instead, the boy’s voice that had been uttered at the funeral came out.
[―Just~.]
I do that because it’s fun.
The camera showed the boy giggling in front of the crying family.
[“This is crazy….”]
[“Right? So, if possible, stay away from it.”]
[“Okay, I get it. Man, that’s really creepy. Thanks for letting me know.”]
Kim Lee-hyun’s expression remained unchanged throughout the conversation.
Only a truly creepy voice appeared off-screen.
The partner let out a short sigh, seemingly relieved by Kim Yi-hyeon’s words.
[“Hey, but….”]
Then, to change the subject, he asked another question.
[“What is that scar on your left hand?”]
[“huh?”]
[“That thing on your palm. Wow, it looks more brutal up close. Actually, I misunderstood that scar when I saw it on your first day at school. I thought you were a brat who played around too.”]
Only after my partner finished speaking did Kim Lee-hyun appear on the screen.
Kim Lee-hyeon smiled blandly as if telling me to make sense.
[“When I was in middle school, there was a robbery at my house. I got a scar from a fight back then.”]
[“Really? Tell me more.”]
[“Oh my~. You can’t handle it. Just know that I sacrificed myself to protect my sister and mother.”]
[“Wow… this kid was really something.”]
Kim Lee-hyun, who smiled awkwardly at her partner’s compliment, looked very mature.
‘That kid is really upright.’
It’s clear that the friends in the play were thinking what the audience was thinking.
The partner was looking at Kim I-hyeon with a look of favor that anyone could see, and soon several people gathered around him.
Meanwhile, Kim Lee-hyun was smiling brightly.
[“… … .”]
The camera slowly moved away from Kim Lee-hyun and left the classroom.
Then, we moved from the crowded downtown area to a place with fewer people.
The moment you step out of the sunlight and into the shade.
‘…?’
I heard cicadas chirping somewhere.
The film’s atmosphere became strangely chilly.
‘what?’
It was a time when people in the theater were narrowing their eyes.
The movie turned straight into night without any signal.
In the pitch-black darkness, no sound could be heard except for the occasional swaying of the trees in the wind.
A change occurred in that once quiet space.
[“Gasp, ugh… .”]
I started to hear someone running towards me.
[“X-foot. X-foot, X-foot… . X-foot! This is driving me crazy.”]
The person spitting out the foul language was the boy my partner had just introduced me to.
The curious expression from the previous scene was nowhere to be found.
His face was filled with fear and horror.
He seemed to be running away from something, but then he tripped over his own feet and fell.
‘Ugh.’
‘Oh my, that must hurt.’
He got up with a painful wound hanging from his knee that was clearly visible.
As the audience unconsciously grimaced, a strange sound was heard.
[―Pick.]
It sounded like the wind escaping, or something hitting a wall.
But before the audience could realize what the sound was… .
[“Eww!!!!!”]
The boy screamed.
[“Save me, save me! Help me!!!”]
The boy’s face was filled with fear as he screamed.
The boy runs away and the space is empty.
After a while, something black emerged from the darkness.
It was a pistol equipped with a silencer.
‘……ah.’
Only after watching did the audience realize that the sound they had just heard was a pistol shot.
It sounded terribly realistic.
[“Please save me!! Is anyone there?!”]
The camera captured the back of the boy running away quickly.
There is also a picture of a man leisurely following behind.
Ears with in-ear headphones, the corners of the lips turned up, hands that don’t shake at all, etc.
The camera carefully captured only a small part of the man.
The gaze seemed like that of a herbivore afraid that its location would be revealed to a predator.
As the camera took that position, the audience also became anxious.
At that moment, a low voice was heard from the earphones inserted in the man’s ears.
[―Just play around and stop now.]
The man who was chasing the boy answered with a smile.
[“Why, it’s funny! Just look at him struggling, haha!”]
The artificial and exaggerated speech and high-tension voice were strangely rough.
The audience collectively tilted their heads.
‘What is it? Something is… .’
It’s unnatural.
It’s hard to put into words, but I felt something strong.
[―This isn’t fun at all. Just deal with it quickly.]
[“You’re really boring. I’m going to kill you anyway, so why don’t you have some fun?”]
[“You know it’s against the rules.”]
[“Those damn rules, those rules. They’re boring~.”]
The man walked away, grumbling in a loud voice.
And finally… .
[“S-save me. Please.”]
At the end of the alley, a man and a boy met.
Whether the boy was afraid of him or not, the man still answered the voice in his ear with a cheerful voice.
[“Ugh, I get it~. Are you going to kill me now?”]
It was so dark that I couldn’t even see if he was wearing earplugs.
That is to say, in the boy’s eyes, the other person just looked like a crazy person talking to himself.
[“What the hell are you? You fucking XX, why did you suddenly show up and do such a crappy thing all of a sudden!”]
He was so scared that he swore.
[“This fucking dog, won’t you get out? You son of a bitch!!”]
The man smiled brightly at the boy’s screaming curses.
And then he took a step forward.
Finally, his face was clearly captured on camera.
[“You, you….”]
The audience was just as shocked as the boy.
The man holding the gun was Kim I-Hyeon.
Of course, the audience was more familiar with another name than Kim Lee-hyun.
Actress Lee Yeon-jae was smiling brightly on screen.
[“Wol, wol!!”]
He made a sound like a dog barking, then pulled the trigger without hesitation.
[-bang!]
The heavy sound of the pistol without the silencer left an equally shocking impression on the minds of the audience.
‘Oh my… .’
The opening was really well chosen.
