The King of Dying Smoke Episode 161

The power of first impressions (2)

The reporters all blinked.

All that came to mind were the gems of famous quotes from the movie.

[Yusuf, old friend. This is faith. So just shut up and continue the war.]

[Oh, what a pity. But what can we do?]

[Hahaha, are you asking? We must kill them all!]

[Don’t worry! He will sort them all out!]

[Don’t you know? Where was Galahad looking for the Holy Grail? The Lord has given this Richard a new Holy Grail!]

The last 30 minutes of the movie were Richard’s solo performance.

That enormous presence and madness were the fundamental reasons that pushed a structurally unanswerable film into the current controversy.

But, what’s wrong?

The reporter who immediately asked the question was so dumbfounded that he could not continue speaking.

But it seemed like the other person didn’t just want to talk nonsense.

“Personally, I think there was only one difference between Saladin and Richard. Have you adapted to modern times or not? Richard would be the former and Saladin would be the latter.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. “Isn’t it the opposite?”

The person who came out in bewilderment was Latham Garfield, who had been getting beaten up for a while.

He quickly pointed it out with a look on his face that said he had finally gotten his chance.

“While Saladin agonized over the existence of God, didn’t Richard accept everything in a distorted way? That’s why critics also commented that they were polar opposites! “No matter how good the actor is, such an arbitrary interpretation is a bit…”

“That’s adaptation.”

Kangmin answered without hesitation.

He had several terrible experiences in his nightmares.

Sometimes it was roasted as a horned dragon.

It was a terrible experience for the most part, but I learned a few things from it.

Adaptation does not necessarily entail understanding.

“In history, Saladin sent his warhorses to Richard, who was slaughtering his own soldiers. It is considered a romantic and honorable thing to do, but in modern times it would be treated as a madman. It means that the glory of that era and the glory of this era have different meanings.”

“What is that?”

“In that sense, wouldn’t faith be the thing that people of that era would have the most trouble adjusting to?”

“uh···?”

“In the past, there was nothing I had to give up to have it. I just had to accept it. but.”

Not now.

Throughout Christian history, most attempts to harmonize or diverge faith and reason have been in vain.

Nietzsche hated and tore apart faith itself, but it was natural science that annexed the area of ​​faith, even declaring war.

Now, humanity has to worry about where God’s position is between astrophysics and quantum theory.

And, well, neuroscience that will investigate the brain abnormalities of the cultists who say that an entity outside of that understanding ‘selected me as their agent’ or ‘kill that infidel’.

“From Richard’s point of view, it would have been Saladin who was crazy, not him. So, I would have given advice.”

“advice? “What advice?”

“’Shut up and let’s continue the war.’ “How kind and pitiful would it be for you to give this kind of advice?”

“No, crazy, that’s Chunggol?”

“Does this sound crazy? “It must have been common sense at the time.”

“… … .”

uh?

Garfield was speechless for a moment.

The glory of God exists.

He wants war.

Pagans are the archenemies of Buddha Daecheon.

In that era, it was a truth that could not even be questioned. Richard I simply followed suit.

So, from Richard’s point of view, it’s the world that’s crazy, not himself.

Rather, he was the only character in the story who acted rationally and normally.

“No, what… .”

The retort that I had been trying to reflexively evoke in the sophistry soon fell into place.

This is why Garfield himself, who was looking at Kangmin’s complexion, became momentarily dumbfounded.

‘This is crazy, that bastard is serious…’ !’

If that was made up, then that guy was a scary guy.

But if that statement wasn’t made up, that was crazy.

What kind of idiot actor would try to recreate the way of thinking of a 12th century human just to portray a man full of madness!

Garfield was stunned.

“… “You mean, uh, she was thinking about it the whole time and acting it out?”

“Well, I tried to do that.”

“… … .”

“I believe that the interpretation of any story is up to the viewer, but I think this needs to be corrected. Richard I is a very rational person. He is, perhaps, the best of his characters. Because, as you know, he is not troubled and not twisted by his desire for revenge like young Rupert.”

“You felt that the viewer was filled with madness!”

“I don’t understand that. “It was intentional.”

“······.”

There was silence.

It was a very long silence.

Everyone who saw the movie began to recreate the Richard I in their minds in their own way.

And again, some people were embarrassed to realize that the first library scene and the confident smile at the end were so naturally connected.

The reporter who asked the question asked back blankly.

“So, Richard didn’t hide the contents of the book from Rupert in the first library scene?”

“He must have been proud. “It’s like not bragging about your good deeds.”

“The conversation with Saladin… .”

“He must have been truly sad. “The nemesis of her life was suffering from mental illness.”

“… So, New York in —what is the meaning of the Holy Grail?”

“Don’t you know? “Nothing.”

Kangmin shrugged his shoulders.

And then, without thinking, I added that.

“As everyone knows, it’s everything.”

* * *

30 minutes later, Director Henry and Director Dusk, who were released with their heads cooled, continued to argue angrily again.

But it didn’t mean much. This is because the fight between the two was no longer of interest to people in the first place.

Coach Dusk, who was confident that he had at least tied with Coach Henry, could not help but gape when he heard the news late.

“what?”

“that… The advance reservation rate for has increased significantly… .”

“why not?”

“Statistics show that repeat viewings are very high… It’s also a trend where people with curiosity are gathering… .”

“No, so why!!”

Director Dusk was shocked when he realized what had happened while he was ‘cooling down’.

But it was already too late.

The fire was excitedly lit by him and Henry Dusk, and the channel had the potential to spread it.

Americans say, ‘William White? It was noisy for a while, but isn’t he just a typical Asian action actor from the past?’ I witnessed how Kang Min, who I thought was just a normal person, made Latham Garfield sick of him.

The critics who had already left reviews watched the movie again with some skepticism and were taken aback.

Richard’s seemingly unpredictable behavior was surprisingly rational considering his way of thinking.

They updated their SNS with even a smile on their face.

(Richard I was crazy? In the future, someone might say that we are all crazy.)

(Humans may be creatures that consider beings they cannot understand to be more crazy than those who killed hundreds of thousands of people and burned down sacred sites.)

(The actor fooled everyone. Applause.)

Of course, as with all things, there were some that were not.

The favorable critics did not change their scores, and the negative critics did not change their scores.

But there was one big difference.

Everyone agreed on one topic.

-Of course it wasn’t intentional due to the schedule, but isn’t it funny that the theme, development, and ending of are all directly related to ?

-I agree! Faith, agony, determination – these are all things that are crucially missing from .

-New York is the new mecca, so people flock to it and have a good time… After watching , this is a development that makes you laugh out loud. XD

-If it were Saladin, he would have fired the nuke 🙁

-In the end, I did it… .

The sloppiness of the plot of has not been a particular problem so far.

That was not the purpose of the film in the first place, and the opponent was more sloppy than that.

But now it has become a problem.

People are now starting to consider ‘depth’.

“Shall we watch ?”

“I heard it’s a very thoughtless movie… Look, ‘Richard I’ is much more popular.”

“There was a lot to talk about… “Then let’s do it this way.”

And here a further miscalculation occurred.

The thorough historical research unique to has finally begun to be discovered.

Of course, the combination of the flashback feature and the word historical research was a very strange combination, but Shim Yu-hyeon was not the type of person to give up just because she was strange.

The obsession with details that had been buried under the absurdity of riding a horse against a chariot began to become noticeable only as the number of people who saw it two or three times increased.

Of course people gaped.

-The way of holding the reins, the way of wearing the helmet, the way of putting the mantle on the tunic… ?

-Uh, at least Richard wore ‘modern clothes’ in a ‘medieval clothes’ way? That’s also pretty complete historical evidence… .

-No, are you crazy?! Who knows such a thing!

-Look, I think the guy who noticed this is a little crazy too.

If I hadn’t gone crazy in the first place, I wouldn’t have built up resentment or majored in history because something like was ruined.

Anyway, at this point the situation got out of hand.

actor.

Historical evidence.

And even the critics were split in half.

People began to think that was ‘hip’.

And, in the entertainment world, that perception was everything.

Slowly, but surely.

Change is starting to occur.

“Haha, look! It was predicted that the final settlement would be around $130 million! How is it?”

“As expected, you are the representative of Jaylen!”

“Hahaha! I think it needs to be adjusted higher! Maybe as much as $200 million!”

“I think Director Penelope’s insight needs to be upgraded a bit!”

“Uh, I think it’s over $250 million… ?”

“yes?”

“300 million… ?”

“?”

Even the CEO of CAE and his directors, who were excited at first, were mesmerized by the unprecedented turnaround.

But even that was a hasty surprise.

was no longer at the level of ‘fought well’ compared to the .

I was just eating the pie straight ahead.

And ten days later,

The results are out.

“Oh my, how did this happen…” .”

Director Dusk’s expression was blank.

The same was true around him.

The actors, staff, distributors, and investors of —all of them were speechless because they were dumbfounded and devastated rather than devastated.

The New York Crusade was defeated.

As an objective indicator.

If nothing else, the total number of viewers.

“Oh my, this is ridiculous…!”

Director Dusk’s vision became dizzy.

He stumbled and couldn’t keep his balance.

The last thing he saw was the staff around him running away in horror.

···And, this was the first tragedy caused by Kang Min’s ‘first impression’.
