The King of Dying Smoke Episode 149

Interlude Masterpiece and Last Companion (10)

First of all, one thing:

From the perspective of a Hollywood commercial film, Director Dusk’s was a complete hexagon.

The reaction proved that.

-and… .

-Look at the actor lineup.

-The scale is also killed; How many people were mobilized for that lance charging scene?

-Maybe it was CG applied?

-That level of graphics processing costs more money;

-No matter what, it’s a lot of money…

Magnificent music with spectacular battles.

An unknown story about an actor everyone knows.

We live in an era where easy listening, which makes it easy to listen to music, is taking over the trend. In such an atmosphere, succeeded in almost completely satisfying the public’s wishes.

-What’s certain is that it won’t be boring.

-yep

-Kang Min’s movie is also released on the same day… .

└We will see the reaction. The risk is too high

└Correct. The sign price also went up;

└I like Kangmin, but my money is precious haha

└ㄹㅇㅋ

└The director was such a jerk… .

Even Korea reacted this way, so it goes without saying that other countries did as well.

The attitude of the production team further heightened this sinister atmosphere.

Surprisingly, while director Dusk of was releasing all kinds of teaser videos, giving interviews, and pouring out promotional brochures, remained silent until two months before its release.

At this point, I couldn’t help but wonder if it would be released on the right date.

-I think Pian got scared. XD

-Oh, I was thinking of giving it a try. Until revealed the battle of 10,000 knights.

-That was too much LOL

-Looking back at the days, Kang almost always made bad choices, but this time I think he made the worst.

-It’s the process of bursting bubbles. There are no great actors in Asia to begin with.

└Damn it

└There are already great racists emerging 🙁

└The fact that the hunting cats, which become quiet when they are doing well, crawled out is proof that the river made a mistake… .

It was in the midst of such chaos that the first teaser for came out.

At first, people were shocked that they reluctantly released a 40-second video two months before its release. An angry voice burst out asking, “Are you kidding me?”

It was no different even from the beginning.

-It started.

-Oh, it’s not even an eyesore, but 🙁

-First of all, the narration voice is good.

-What does it mean to be an old friend?

-Basil Papa John’s voice is okay. He’ll also work as a voice actor.

-It’s not that kind of name 🙁

-Who cares? Anyway, as long as Kang is Richard, Papyrus must be a cheap mafia leader!

-The river is fighting.

-It’s always like that.

-It feels like the long-term scene is slowly becoming fixed. Such actors usually last a long time… oh?

-uh… .

-Well, it’s a bit creepy, isn’t it?

-I have to admit it’s impressive.

-I think I captured the character well… You know, a movie isn’t just about one actor.

-I agree.

-?

-???

-Jerusalem was nothing… ?

-Look, friends, this is… .

-Surprisingly… ?

-No, I need to watch more… .

-The times are advancing.

-If you look at it like this, there’s something overwhelming.

-New York, the darling of civilization

-This is a very American-centric opinion. i don’t like

-Even if you don’t like it, it’s true, friend 🙂

-You’re funny.

-I think it’s over.

-I have some expectations, but still… .

-What would the knight king of the Middle Ages think of the modern civilization that has changed so drastically?

-New York is the center of the world

└No

└These idiots are still progressing 🙁

└It’s the center

└No

└centra gdfgks

└Oh… .

└You can do it in the center

-?

-???

-Did it explode?

-New York explosion?

-Saladin?

-Uh, friends? Did Saladin launch a nuclear attack now?

-???????

The reaction was dumbfounded. Because it was a scene that no one expected.

But that was only for a moment.

At the end, one cut that passed by as if it was nothing started to set the place on fire.

-God, Saladin is running an armored corps?????

-What is Richard doing on horseback while carrying an anti-tank rocket?!?!

* * *

I’ll say it again, Director Dusk’s was perfect.

And, that was the reason why the almost unconventional setting of “Richards Sr. of New York” spread and caused such a huge stir.

In an instant, a rivalry between the two works was formed.

Could it be said to be a similar situation to the situation two years ago when other broadcasters were buried in , which Korea’s KBC was advertising for a 30 billion dollar project?

“No, what kind of movie setting…” .”

“Didn’t you just do it anyway?”

Of course, this reaction was not without. But that also disappeared in an instant after some credible rumors were spread.

A day later, reporters were rushing like a pack of wolves toward the person responsible for the rumor.

“Mr. Papadopoulos! How did you come up with the idea to invest $10 million in this movie!”

“Why did you hide this unconventional setting until two months before the release!”

“How about the truth of the rumor that after meeting actor Kang for the first time, he was astonished by his quality and immediately decided to invest!”

“Is it true that CAE CEO Jayren said that it was a work that took five years to polish?”

“Do you think you can catch director Dusk’s ?!”

“Well, uh… Calm down… .”

Of course, the reporters did not calm down.

An actor who is not even the main character invested $10 million.

Ten million dollars is almost a lifetime.

Even Basil Papadopoulos is halfway through his life.

Public opinion was literally turned upside down.

As all kinds of rumors were added to the teaser, which exceeded expectations diagonally, enormous expectations began to rise everywhere.

‘If it were just Director Henry, he could go crazy alone! But CAE and Basil Papadopoulos?!’

‘perhaps… .’

‘Maybe something really big will come… !’

Of course, it was still close to skepticism. But isn’t the job of reporters to encourage the public’s skepticism?

Basil desperately ran away from the reporters who were attacking him like a flock of wildcats.

And as soon as I entered the studio, I screamed.

“Director!!”

“Something, Basil.”

“Is this really true?!”

His cheeks trembled.

This question had quite multiple meanings.

For example, is it okay to not have to answer phone calls that are ringing like crazy from all directions?

For example, whether it is necessary to visit Director Penelope, who collapsed due to stress,

And, well, does it make sense to start a fight like this in the first place?

Basil cried out, holding his head.

“Saladin, you weren’t planning on making him appear in the first place!”

“Well, that’s right.”

It was like that.

There was no proper scenario for this plan in the first place, but at least the reactionary figure was never Saladin.

However, from the beginning, this plan, which was just nonsense about getting rid of the scenario, crossed the mountain thanks to the cooperation of three madmen, and ended up going into space.

Specifically, a revolutionary in an era that possessed a tank corps, a large air force, and nuclear missiles became a fearsome villain.

The revolutionary’s name was Salah al-Din Yusuf, and his appearance was decided three months ago, let alone five years ago, when the CAE representative spoke out.

The world was expecting this side to do something great, but in reality, it was an empty gangjeong that was set up on the fly.

‘Why, why is this happening… !’

Basil wanted to faint.

But the third madman – the director was just calm and relaxed.

“Relax, Basil. Are you of Greek descent? “Isn’t it narrowly safe racially?”

“You’re out!”

Basil screamed.

He grabbed his head.

Even he, an experienced actor, could not understand why the situation had come to this.

He looked to the side desperately.

“Mr Sim! You are a man crazy about historical research! Is this acceptable?! “What Saladin in the world prefers blitzkrieg through armored corps, and what Richard I in the world charges with M72 anti-tank rockets instead of lances!”

The second maniac crossed his arms and pondered.

And said.

“Safe.”

“yes?!”

“Mr. Papadopoulos, no historical research in this world can be perfect. You can be as unconventional as you want, and that’s not what’s really important. Isn’t that right, Actor Kang?”

“Director Shim, I’m following what you said.”

The first madman also nodded.

“The important thing is this, Mr. Basil, Ohseong and Haneum can become sworn brothers and aim for the Beyblade world champion. However, if Lee Deok-hyung stabs Lee Hang-bok in the back and steals the top, this is a story that should be thrown in the trash can right away—”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about… !”

“Well, that’s a bad analogy. Then towards Robin Hood and Little John… .”

No, I can roughly guess what you’re talking about.

It simply means that the meaning itself cannot be understood.

However, directors Shim Yoo-hyun and Henry hit their knees as if it was a truly amazing metaphor.

“yes! What is the relationship between Saladin and Richard! A genius of strategy with advanced calculations, and not a monster of tactics who breaks it all down in one turn! Of course, it can be said that Richard defeating Saladin’s armored wave with an M72 in a short period of time is a testament to history!”

no… .

“Hmm, but the M72 looks a bit more luxurious.”

“It hasn’t been resolved yet.”

“Anyway, if it’s a short-term film, don’t you think it’s okay to use a common RPG, Director Sim?”

“Ho, that makes sense.”

No… .

“I think differently, Director.”

“hmm?”

“There is a famous warlord named Zhao Yun in China. He captured hundreds of thousands of troops with a weapon he was not familiar with, so much so that he even said, ‘He is as good as using an old spear.’ Think about it. After the M72 stock runs out, when Saladin is relieved that he has lost his weapon, he blows up the tanks one by one with the RPG-7 rolling on the ground. “Wouldn’t this second phase be more impactful?”

“Hoo!”

“Perfect! I’m always learning from actor Kang! Hahaha!”

Holy shit… !

Looking at the three madmen laughing face to face, Basil felt like fainting.

After seeing the teaser, Penelope Isa fainted with a single scream, and the baton was now being handed to her.

Basil’s legs were shaking as he looked at the pouring news and hopeful public opinion.

He had no idea that the objects he had photographed so far would satisfy the public’s expectations.

‘Outside, they’re expecting a five-year movie, but here it is!’

‘I’m ruined… ! ‘It’s completely ruined!’

‘If things have gotten this far and the grades are below expectations, it’s over for us!’

However, Basil is also an actor who has survived in Hollywood for 15 years even though he is rotten. It’s almost twice as tall as Penelope Olsen.

He shook his head desperately.

And I found something that could be done in the current situation.

‘okay. Min: My friend said that he was going on a promotional tour to various countries ahead of the release. I thought it was useless, but that’s all I have now!’

‘We will promote it as much as possible to attract early visitors… !’

‘Somehow, I have to do something to save face!’

However, Basil’s brightened expression did not last long after he came up with the last possible solution.

At the same time, there was someone who was gritting his teeth more than anyone else about the current situation.

* * *

The production studio for was quiet.

Thanks to this, everyone could hear the staff’s crawling voice.

“So, the interest in that area is enormous… .”

“… … .”

“It may be that we came up with an unconventional setting, as it falls short of the scale and grandeur of the battle, but it worked surprisingly well… .”

“… is it.”

Director Dusk was silent.

Feeling the eyes watching him, he struggled to maintain his composure. There was no way the rumor could get out because of the ugly explosion here.

But I couldn’t help but feel that my hands were shaking.

‘Henry Fion! How dare you engage in such shallow tactics… !’

Coach Dusk did not think that his opponent truly intended to beat him.

But you can sprinkle poop.

You can forcibly raise the topic and create rivalries to take a bite out of the pie.

For a large-scale project worth a whopping $180 million, that would have been a bigger blow than expected.

Coach Dusk was sure that was the opponent’s intention.

“What should I do… ?”

“… … .”

“Uh, director?”

“… “Increase the promotional budget.”

“yes?”

It was a somewhat foolish statement. Everyone looked perplexed.

However, Director Dusk was confident that this was the correct answer.

“It’s obvious what Henry, who has $30 million, thinks. Since he can’t win head on anyway, he’s going to try to hold his own back. “He’s unusually smart.”

“I wonder if Director Pian, not just anyone else, would think like that… ? That’s a bit… .”

“How stupid! Otherwise, why would the lead character, Kang Min, be sent on a promotional tour ahead of its release? This is not something a normal Henry would do! “He was humiliated last time and gritted his teeth!”

It was a slightly selfish attempt on the part of Director Penelope, but that was how it seemed from the outside.

When the premise is off, the logic is off, and when the logic is off, the conclusion is off.

Soon, Director Dusk came to what he thought was the perfect conclusion.

“Henry, if you were going to get this far with $30 million, you wouldn’t have been able to spend the money on the movie itself. In particular, if they were really going to send out a tank or something, they would have used a cliché cut (=basic cut that saves money as much as possible) for graphics, which saves as much money as possible. “It has to be that way.”

“then… .”

“It means that we just have to hit that cliché and crush the critics’ reviews.”

When I thought about it, it turned out to be surprisingly simple.

Director Dusk smiled sinisterly and gave two instructions.

“First of all, we prepare for a publicity tour wherever that actor Kang Min goes. “Put it down for the sake of its name.”

“And, tell our close friends to publish some articles. The title is, yes. … This should be enough. “Anyway, what I’m saying is, let’s sway public opinion so that critics are disgusted by the obvious directing.”

“Yes, yes!”

It was truly a brilliant sniper.

Putting aside the consequences of the sniping for now, the two films, which were about to be released, entered into a full-fledged promotional campaign.

A noisy month has passed.

It meant that Kangmin’s world tour was approaching.
