The King of Dying Smoke Episode 146

Interlude Masterpiece and Last Companion (7)

Kang Min had also heard of Richard I.

To be exact, I had only heard of it.

Everyone needs a cool word like The Lionheart in middle school.

Afterwards, when I entered the facility, I often read books to the children, but since an orphanage is ultimately a friend of a religious group, all the books that came in were embellished.

By the time is so pious, you could replace Richard with Cabot, the warrior of justice.

… But well,

The personality written in the history books I looked up when I got older was very different from the memories I had from those times.

“He had a reputation for being two-faced and unreliable, his brutality and brutality stood out, and he was a person who could be summarized in three things: arrogance, greed, and lust… .”

-That’s a miserable opinion.

The old knight let out a sigh.

-But I guess I was a character.

It’s not that it wasn’t, but since it was a children’s book, martial arts, which I thought would have been a bit exaggerated, actually felt like it had been reduced.

Kang Min called Shim Yu-hyeon.

“Director Shim, wasn’t Saladin clearly a rival for Richard I’s soul?

[Um, of course!]

“I heard you’ve never beaten Richard?”

[This is crazy… ! Winning or losing at the tactical level is not everything! Salah al-Din had to worry about not only the Kingdom of Jerusalem at the time, but also many small countries, and the long battle lines were also a problem! In such a situation, there may have been a slight tactical defeat, but in the end, in the end—!]

hmm.

Anyway, it looks like I couldn’t win.

In any case, the book concludes that Richard I was a person whom Cabot’s friends would feel insulted in private, but at the same time, he was the strongest war machine of the Middle Ages, possessing a fearsome strategy and the level of prowess of a human weapon.

Of course, Kangmin couldn’t help but worry.

‘How on earth can I play a guy like this… ?’

Since Richard I is a famous figure, there are quite a lot of movies and content about him.

However, what Kang Min must portray is not a solemn king or a brilliant strategist, but the madness of this character.

Kang Min’s acting basically came from a nightmare he suffered for several months.

But no matter what experience he had, it would have been far inferior to this monster… .

-what?!

For some reason, it was the old knight who was scratched by these words.

While Kangmin blinked, he stood up with his beard in anger.

-I admit that he is quite a great person, but isn’t it ultimately a record in print? How dare you look down on this William White!

“Yes, old man. “I have also experienced a glimpse of your prime, but honestly, isn’t it unreasonable to take over a fortress with only three horses and all your blood and blood?”

-Ugh… !

Even so, it seemed that even the old knight had no choice in the record of a human weapon level that reminded me of Xiang Yu of the East.

After groaning and suffering for a while, I lost my temper.

-If you say that, I’ll show you a demonstration!

“yes?”

-I’m going to show you that imitating people like this isn’t a big deal! You just watch and learn!

“hmm… .”

To conclude,

William White failed to teach Kang Min.

* * *

‘Everyone is already in the mood. Indeed, it is Actors Studio.’

‘Don’t you think he’s trying to fuck me like a third-rate scoundrel!’

Inside the set that mimicked a subway station, Kang Min was amazed as he watched the actors slowly approaching.

And, at the same time, I sighed in self-destruction.

‘To borrow an expression from the old man, did you say that my life is no better than that of a twelve-year-old Page?’

This means that he is not even at the level of a squire, let alone an apprentice.

In the end, Kang Min failed to build a proper character right before filming.

It was unprecedented.

I’m going to turn around─ Kangmin tried hard to stop himself from becoming weak.

‘There is no choice. I have no choice but to do my best with what I have.’

Naturally, even Kangmin of the world is not an expert on medieval knights. He is like an old knight – he can’t live properly, he can’t show courage, and anyway, young people these days… – I had no choice but to accept it almost as is.

I have no talent.

In that case, you have no choice but to use what you have.

Kangmin steeled himself and raised his eyes.

‘Ha, this guy is nervous.’

On the other hand, Jason, an actor of 3 years, was still smirking.

‘It looks like he’s a young chick after all. ‘What can happen if you just open your eyes seriously?’

Once the idol of Actors Studio’s rookie actors, he had now lost a lot of popularity. That’s why he was intimidated by Finnegan Sticks and Zoya Sticks in a debate one day.

It could be said that it was a self-satisfaction since he had fun dissing Kang-min, but how can a person be that objective?

For Jason, all he could think was that this was the perfect opportunity to avenge his grudge(?).

‘I’ll show you what I see!’

-Action!

Even though what he was doing was ugly, Jason was not an easy actor to begin with.

As soon as the cue went off, Kangmin was surrounded by his team-mates. Jason walked out of the center with a grin.

It was truly a flowing movement.

[this this. Who is this? Aren’t you Mr. Johnson who took our money?]

[…] … ]

[I’m disappointed. Isn’t there still something we need to negotiate?]

At the same time, colleagues around him were also becoming more attentive.

They were all dressed in suits and had serious expressions, making them look more like classy big-time mafiosi than neighborhood gangsters.

[And, haven’t you forgotten your daughter? Miss Sophie Johnson.]

[…] … .]

[I don’t want to underestimate Mr. Johnson’s fatherly love, but—]

‘And that’s the purpose.’

It ruins a scene where the main character is supposed to stand out. By repeating this several times, it proves that actor Kang Min is nothing special.

Jason was confident that it was indeed a neat and elegant method.

He chuckled and continued speaking.

To be exact, this was what I was trying to do.

That was when something went wrong.

“Ugh… ?”

The body reacted before the head.

I was out of breath for a moment.

While I was saying that, my feet somehow took a step backwards. She tried to stick it out again, but it wasn’t easy.

My legs, and then my whole body, were shaking.

‘What is this?!’

Jason made an effort to raise his head and make eye contact with Kangmin.

Kangmin’s expression was calm. It didn’t get particularly intense or distorted.

But why?

For a moment, everything seemed blurry.

“Huh… … !”

Jason took a deep breath.

I didn’t even have time to worry about the embarrassed reactions of my friends around me. I didn’t even have time to back down.

He froze in place. My mind was filled with only confusion.

… And, unfortunately, when Kangmin saw that, he swallowed a small sigh.

‘As expected, it seems to be lacking.’

He quietly repeated the old knight’s teachings.

– Think about it, young man. Suppose behind you, an iron carriage called a car is making a violent sliding noise. What would you do? Wouldn’t you be scared and throw your body to avoid it before you even think about it?

-It must be a survival instinct. But it’s not something you’re born with. Wouldn’t a newborn baby realize that the sound of that iron carriage sliding could kill him? In the end, acquired learning awakened innate instincts as necessary.

-That is ultimately what the knights say about life, young man.

-Anything that causes fear in the opponent. Fear that the author could harm me. Anxiety that feels like you’re about to rush in at any moment—all of that is maximized through gaze and movements other than language, stimulating the survival instinct. That’s the essence of that trivial magic.

Surprisingly, that was quite close to the fundamental definition of acting.

If so, it won’t be impossible for you either.

Kangmin concentrated even more, remembering the old knight’s anger.

He tensed his entire body’s muscles as if he was going to attack him at any moment, sharpened his vision, and above all, filled his entire body with the murderous intent to kill the opponent.

And, of course, when Jason saw that, he gasped even more.

[…] … .]

“What is this… .”

[…] … .]

“Ugh… .”

[…] … .]

“Gagging… !”

It felt like I was dreaming.

Rather, there would have been no problem if Jason wasn’t a good actor.

However, a talented actor is a creature who instinctively reads the emotions of the other person and then surrenders himself to those emotions he reads.

This proud organ has become a huge nuisance this time.

Every sense in my body was intensely alerted.

That guy is not playing around.

That’s not smoke.

and,

me,

I plan to kill you

‘Nonsense!’

But reason still functioned. Jason shook his head and thought desperately.

This is a filming set, the person in front of you is an actor, and there is no reason for an actor to kill another actor.

All of this is just a delusion!

… But that was just before the other person started the full-scale stunt.

‘?!’

Whiing.

It was the sound of Kangmin’s fist passing by his ear.

But to Jason’s ears, it sounded like a roar.

Dry eyes met trembling eyes.

Even next to him, Noh Knight was giving advice.

-It’s still not enough! It must cause overwhelming fear! Humans obtain more information from factors other than language! You must have murderous intent everywhere your opponent can see! shoulder! calf! a look!

He previously evaluated Kang Min’s acting as being at the level of a servant (Page).

And of course, this was from a time when it was taken for granted that humans would charge at each other with spears and kill and kill each other.

That gap gave rise to all tragedies.

“Hehe… .”

Jason dodged a few moves, but that was it.

In the end, our eyes met each other as we narrowly avoided the flying fist.

Jason eventually lost the will to fight due to the ferocity.

“crazy… Crazy guy… !”

He turned around.

And then he started screaming and running away with all his might.

What happened next was obvious. Other actors who were watching were also crushed by the momentum and began to run away.

Screams erupted from everywhere, and the blood bags each person was wearing exploded spectacularly. King Richard I, who was confused by the old knight’s shouts, chased after him with an evil smile and killed him without mercy.

Everyone watched the scene blankly.

Actor Basil, Penelope Issa, and even the two professors were staring blankly.

what.

What are we looking at?

Just like that, a bloody scene ensued that would have made Korea’s Kim Ho-jin cry and ask for a handshake.

A hand was placed on the shoulder of the floor director who was blinking.

It was Director Henry, crying profusely.

“… “Director?”

“Floor Director.”

“yes?”

“I was sure. “There is no more filming than this.”

Director Henry’s tearful eyes were clear.

So, it was filled with the clearest madness.

Slowly, it seemed like God had given up.

“I am not wrong! “This is right!”

“… … .”

“This movie is already a success! Hahahahaha!”

The floor director turned his head blankly.

There was Kang Min, chasing his opponent with an expression like a demon from hell.

I turned my head to the other side.

There was actor Jason who was running away screaming like Pinocchio who lost two lira.

“… … .”

I don’t know anymore, the floor director thought.

“Well, first of all, the next scene is with actor Basil. “Get ready.”

“… ah?”

Several months passed like that,

People passing by in downtown New York stood blankly and couldn’t believe their eyes.

It was a worthy situation.

“?”

“… ?”

made its proud appearance in the middle of Times Square, not anywhere else.

* * *

“Uh, um… .”

“Is this really coming out?”

When the news was first announced, most people in the industry doubted their eyes and ears even more than passers-by.

It was well known that director Henry Pyeon had recently lost his temper. But what was more famous than that was the fact that he stormed into the production studio of “Crusaders of New York” and grabbed director Dusk by the collar.

There were some who judged Director Dusk to be harsh, but most clicked their tongues and said it was a self-sufficiency.

“Dusk didn’t take them out, they were all cut by him!”

“but.”

“Even old age has to come out gracefully…” .”

Anyway, news spread that Director Henry, who had run away crying ugly, received investment from CAE and signed a contract with Kang Min.

People have lowered their expectations even further.

“I received investment from an agency… “Then it’s probably half a promotional movie.”

“There is talk that CAE acquired the river quite expensively, so wouldn’t they be trying to make their debut more plausible?”

“Well, let’s just focus on the significance of our teacher White settling down in America.”

Funding half-failed projects and filming promotional films according to one’s tastes is an old tactic in this world.

Most people didn’t expect Kang Min’s Emmy win to continue, as it was unusual, but they were satisfied with the infusion of new blood.

In other words, both the movie and Kang Min had similar expectations. I guess it could be said that the expectations were about how cute the chicks that would be born this cycle would be.

But soon that was no longer possible.

That’s why even more crazy news came out about this chick.

Everyone who heard this news picked their ears.

“It’s the same date!”

“Well, my ears feel weird. What?”

“They say will be released on the same date as !”

“… … ???”

As soon as the chick was born, he announced that he would commit suicide.
