The King of Dying Smoke Episode 145
Interlude Masterpiece and Last Companion (6)
The young actors at Actors Studio hate Kang Min.
There are many reasons given, such as not being able to accept the Emmy for winning the short story category, disagreements about acting skills, or the racism that is so common in this world, but in fact, there is only one main one.
Jealousy and jealousy.
‘CAE brought in a first-year actor under such ridiculous conditions? When the CEO visits in person? why?’
‘My acting skills are quite good, but even so, this doesn’t make sense… .’
‘Professors Jacob and Kevin, Luis and Olson, and Stefan Zischler and Lloyd González? Ha, how good he is!’
‘Why on earth is that guy the only one getting attention?’
It would have been better if he had an overwhelming background or experience.
However, just as the person who lives next door, Ho-sik, has a stomachache when his business becomes a huge success rather than the third generation of a chaebol, the same goes for actors.
No, it is much worse due to the nature of the industry, which cannot survive without pride and self-reliance.
I went through a similar period of obscurity,
A similar rookie.
I don’t think I’m that proud in that situation… No, actually, he may seem like he’s smart, but how can we not be upset that a foreign guy who doesn’t seem to have the need to succeed like this is taking the lead?
The strangeness of the certain twins and dampened their will to fight, but that was all. They were ready to proudly spit out harsh words whenever they met Kang Min.
You didn’t become successful because you were smart, know your subject.
“Nice to meet you, my name is Kangmin.”
“Yes, yes… .”
“Nice to meet you, haha!”
… Well, anyone can at least prepare.
* * *
“This time, we plan to allow quarterly group assignments to be done in two ways, depending on your preference.”
When Professor Kevin Moore made this announcement, everyone at Actors Studio pricked up their ears.
Of course, if it’s a quarterly group assignment, that’s it. Group version of the year-end test. It’s a non-stop battle on stage until someone gives up.
If you give up, your score will be lowered, and even if you don’t give up, if the professor thinks it’s not good, your score will be lowered.
Unless you’re a born idiot like Finnegan Sticks and Zoya Sticks, who on earth would say that’s a good thing?
“One is to do it the same way as before. “If you want to take a stage test, you can fill out the documents here.”
Sounds crazy.
“The other thing is, well, they have a pretty interesting movie project and they’ve asked us to cooperate. “If you appear in a small role there, I will recognize you as Lee Soo.”
“yes? “Are you appearing in a movie?”
“It was quite an interesting item. The idea is to reduce the proportion of the script as much as possible and increase the actor’s improvisation as much as possible. It literally requires the actor to become the role itself. “I would say that we plan to actually implement the experimental pranks that we sometimes do on Off-Off-Broadway.”
“… … .”
“99% will fail, but maybe a miracle will happen. “Which one would you choose?”
Everyone looked at each other and swallowed their saliva.
The stage test was sore, exhausting for a few days, and even terrifying.
On the contrary, just hearing the story makes your heart race, and even if you fail, you can appear in a movie and tell the story of ‘I tried this before’ anywhere. You even get paid for your appearance, and if you show great acting skills, you can even get a proper role.
It was strange that there was a choice problem here.
Everyone unanimously agreed.
“I’ll do the latter!”
“Are you sure?”
“I’m sure!”
“Okay, then let’s form a group.”
Professor Kevin smiled.
Unfortunately, they were not yet experienced enough to detect the insidiousness hidden in that smile.
In other words, the young chicks realized that they had been sold only when they saw director Henry Pyan with his eyes shining on the set.
“It’s an honor to meet you, I’m Kang Min.”
“Yes, yes… .”
“Nice to meet you, haha!”
After exchanging the most awkward greeting in the world with Kangmin, who smiled kindly, they turned and lowered themselves.
Controversy broke out in many places.
“Damn it, what! “I never heard of a William White!”
“I’ve never even heard of a director Henry Pyon… .”
“This is crazy! There is a widespread rumor that the director is senile, but the actor is also said to be that guy? A stage exam would be better! Besides, this rival’s plan is worth 120 million dollars!”
“Then you can go and take the test, you idiot!”
It was truly chaos.
There was talk everywhere that they would rather take the stage test, but no one actually did that. The world is ruled by Gao, and without Gao, actors are corpses.
Those who come this far and say, ‘I’ll just go home’ and leave, are not recognized as actors from Actors Studio. It is unqualified.
And, as always, the hero rose up resolutely from the confusion.
“Oh, please, let’s calm down. What’s the problem? “The other person is an actor who has only been with us for over a year!”
The person carrying the gun was Jason, a third-year actor who is about to graduate.
Actors Studio has a curriculum that lasts from 2 to 4 years depending on age, and usually around the second year, you start going to auditions. In other words, being a three-year actor who is about to graduate means that he has followed an almost ideal path.
Of course, such a person had authority.
Jason looked around and raised his voice.
“Hasn’t everyone been hoping for an opportunity like this? A chance to hit that foamy river head-on! I think today is the day to prove that the Emmy judges have lost their minds! “They’re even helping us with planning!”
“Uhm… .”
“If you listen and see… .”
The actors’ moods also gradually moved due to the passionate speech.
Well, it was like that. Due to various incidents, I realized that Kangmin was quite insane, but even so, he was with me for a year.
Moreover, this shoot is a project that exposes the actor’s qualities in their raw form, with no room to hide them through script or directing.
Where else can you find an opportunity like this!
“What a bunch of cowards! Let Jason take the lead!”
“Oh oh!”
“Oh Captain, my Captain!”
Jason snorted and walked out triumphantly, like he was Teacher Keating from Dead Poets Society. The actors in the group followed Jason.
Of course, Kang Min also knew the trends of such actors.
However, I didn’t take it particularly seriously.
… To be more precise, Kang Min was fiercely moved.
‘I can’t believe it! ‘I never thought I’d be filming with those Actors Studio actors!’
-Didn’t you say that Lady Louise is a more remarkable person? Now what… .
‘There is a dream at Actors Studio, old man! It’s like the University of Bologna and the University of Paris for actors!’
-I have no idea what the metaphor is, young man.
Anyway, Kang Min was very happy to see the actors having a serious(?) discussion. Even though Director Yoo Myung-woo of has introduced quite a bit of what he has learned into the academy, there is still something impressive about the original.
Again, Kangmin was thrilled.
In other words, I was determined to respond to these motivated people with all the means I had.
… And that was the moment when the first filming of this strange project began to explode.
‘Elder, what you taught me before… .’
-Um, are you going to write it?
‘yes.’
-… Do whatever you want. I think it’s still in its infancy, but hey, it might work.
The old knight sighed softly.
And I grumbled.
-Anyway, these times are such a strange place that people don’t know how to show off their true instincts to their opponents.
* * *
Filming has begun.
But surprisingly, it was not Kangmin who was most embarrassed at that moment.
Of course, it wasn’t the Actors Studio actors, director Shim Yu-hyun, or even Penelope Director, who was covering her eyes in the corner.
To my dismay, the main character was Director Henry.
Even the bright-eyed madman had this thought for a moment when he looked at the script he was holding.
‘… that.’
‘Maybe I’m being a little too crazy?’
In other words, it was something like that.
First of all, the first scene had three lines.
“… ?”
“???”
Naturally, the actor filled in all remaining lines and action instructions. Even the Actors Studio actors who heard the vague explanation had question marks over their heads, so the strangeness was indescribable.
Still, it was better because actors could just act no matter what.
The real problem was the confusion of the filming crew.
“Floor director. Were there any instructions regarding the shot?”
“Yeah, yeah… .”
“… “Well, at least you can control the angle of elevation or the ground.”
“Uh, well, since it’s going to be action, let’s focus on the ground. Let’s leave the motion part to the machine and get as many angles as possible. Then something will work out.”
“… All right.”
Of course, no matter how experienced the staff is, there is no way they have ever filmed something like this before.
The purpose of capturing the actor’s momentary scene is good, but isn’t filming so tedious? At the very least, the cinematographer should know which cut to focus on and at least which way the camera will move!
In the end, there was no other way, so a skit was produced in which the cameramen exchanged glances and moved based on guesswork.
If the director wasn’t Henry Fyan, it was such a mess that you could say he was belittling the movie.
‘I’m going crazy, really… .’
Director Penelope, who was watching the little girl from a corner, groaned while holding her head.
At this point, as an actor rather than an investor, I was completely upset.
‘Should I just pay the penalty right now? Do you think I can pay you back if I rob a few properties?’
‘No, it’s already too late…’ .’
It wouldn’t have been impossible not long ago.
However, now that Jacob Fisher and Kevin Moore had intervened and even brought in Actors Studio personnel, it was no longer possible to pick it up. This isn’t Penelope, it’s something that Grandma Penelope can’t do even if she comes back alive.
In the end, I had no choice but to hope that Henry Pian would come to his senses.
‘Well, that’s a ridiculous expectation.’
It wasn’t.
That was surprisingly possible.
That’s because Henry Pian was an experienced director, and he was able to sense how crazy the current situation was.
He blinked his eyes involuntarily as he watched the staff wandering around.
‘Uh, um… .’
‘Anyway, I don’t think this is right… ?’
Henry Pian is a devout believer who goes to church every Sunday.
Did God somehow think of his faith? Surprisingly, the realization that had already been thrown away was about to come down once more.
There were even people who tried to instigate the situation further.
Needless to say, it was Jason, a third-year actor at Actors Studio.
“The script just says gang.”
He grinned and put away the script. Then he looked back and forth between himself and the nine actors in his group and lowered his voice.
“It seems like they are expecting me to act like a third-rate gangster, but filming is filming in the first place. “There’s no need to obsess over it.”
“I mean… ?”
“Let’s put some pressure on them by going out of their way. To that Asian friend.”
“Oh oh!”
Of course, Jason also knows that Kangmin has some level of expertise in stunts. However, the people he chose were not particularly attracted to that direction.
Even though Kang Min needs to awaken Richard I inside(?), they just have to act as a gang member. This means that there is no problem even if the acting is slightly over-the-top.
While the camera’s diagonal line was barely clear, Jason smiled sinisterly inwardly.
‘Acting is ultimately a process of bringing actors together. That’s all.’
‘But, if we don’t intend to do that, what are you going to do, Mr. Kang?’
He huffed and walked forward arrogantly with his friends. Since they were all the same size, Kangmin instantly looked weak.
That was the moment when everyone started shaking their heads and watching the first scene of this crazy filming.
‘Hmm, I guess this doesn’t seem right. Still, you have to have a proper script. I guess I should think again from the beginning… .’
Finally, as soon as the cinematographer’s cue ran out, director Henry came to his senses.
It was a miracle.
It was truly a miracle that everyone had been waiting for and that made Basil Papadopoulos and the floor director embrace, cry and rejoice.
“Ugh, gag… … !”
“?”
… Well, if Kangmin’s vitality hadn’t exploded at the same time, the miracle would have lasted a little longer.
