The King of Dying Smoke Episode 166

The power of first impressions (7)

Of course, Amos Hoban knew that Kang Min’s words were nonsense.

New project? It can’t be possible. How long has it been since the movie ended that they could have prepared for something like that!

It makes even more sense that there was a proposal from somewhere else. The American entertainment industry is fragmented by anti-monopoly laws, but that makes it difficult to hide information. It is impossible to do things smoothly like large entertainment companies in Korea or Japan.

“Let me tell you a secret, this new project has been in the works for months.”

But Kang Min was shameless.

“In fact, it was faster than ‘Richard I of New York.’ On the contrary, it is more like ‘Richard I’ was inevitably pulled out due to time constraints.”

It was so shameless.

He confidently claimed that the plan for him and Penelope to participate was already at a semi-complete stage.

Even financial fraudsters on Wall Street didn’t seem to be at this level.

“Well, I see… .”

“yes.”

“Then, the formalities and such-”

“It’s still under discussion. “We are delighted to reveal this on the historic Amos Hoban Show.”

“Uh, um… .”

Amos Hoban was appalled and stuffy, but there was nothing he could do.

If I tell you not to lie here, I’ll ask, ‘But how do you know that?’ If this response comes back, how is it any different from self-destruction?

All the tricks he had planned before starting fell apart, and he had no choice but to nod like a parrot.

I tried my best to keep it in check, but…

“Haha, I asked you to show me your acting, but wasn’t that a bit exaggerated? It looks like the audience was very surprised! If you think about it, it seems like people would die a little more beautifully!”

“Hmm, I’m sorry, but there wasn’t anything particularly exaggerated.”

“My God, this is where experience comes into play! The perspectives of the actor and the viewer can be very different! Even if an actor acts well, the viewer may have a slightly different perception!”

“… Again, no exaggeration at all. “This is how everyone who is poisoned by sarin dies.”

“Uh, what? Sarin… ?”

“The name GB Gas would be famous around here. It is hundreds of times more toxic than potassium cyanide (=cyanide). It destroys the central nervous system, causes dehydration throughout the body, causes terrible pain, takes away vision, and paralyzes muscles. The main cause of death is asphyxiation, which is because the respiratory muscles become paralyzed, making it impossible to breathe. And most of all—the most common.”

“uh… .”

“In various media, suicide by poisoning is often portrayed in a romantic way, but it is not romantic at all. “Director Olson and I plan to focus on exposing the deaths that have been glorified in their raw form.”

“Uh, um… haha… .”

Well, it was like this.

I knew it was an empty Gangjeong and no matter how hard I tried, the words were so clear that I felt dizzy.

Amos couldn’t even get his money’s worth and gained the new title of ‘an idiot who doesn’t know reality.’

That was enough, but something even more terrible happened.

“Oh God… !”

Coach Henry Pian, who had been making fun of Amos for being easy to wield, burst into tears at those words.

“Alas, I have lived my life in vain! This is truly the plan of the seer! “Why didn’t Henry Fion think of that before?”

There was no time to think, “What the fuck is this?” He cried openly in the middle of the talk show.

It’s not a joke, I actually shed tears.

Anyone could see that he was crazy.

He spoke pleadingly, ignoring the dumbfounded show host and audience.

“Actor, can I have a place in that great plan with this Henry Pyan? “I’d like to help carry the load with my donkey!”

Of course, Kangmin was very happy about the unexpected helper.

“I would like to ask you a favor. If there is anyone who viewed favorably, wouldn’t it all be credit to director Henry?”

“What are you talking about? It’s all the actor’s credit! “I was especially impressed by your insistence on using the RPG-7 before the Stinger!”

“Haha, just Bishop Henry, who suggested blowing up Jerusalem!”

“What! “The reason Richard I became such a character in the first place was because you perfectly portrayed 30:1 on the first shoot!”

“If you think about it, that Abrams tank—”

“And if you look at it, it looks like a nuclear bomb-”

The two soon started talking about the behind-the-scenes stories of the set while ignoring the show host.

But no one could stop it. It was because the audience was listening to it with an expression like, “Wow.”

At this point, it was nothing but shit.

‘Pray… Eat… … .’

Amos Hoban felt like fainting.

* * *

“Do your editing properly!”

Three hours later, the talk show ended in a very horrific way for the show’s host.

But he still had hope.

After filming was over, Amos Hoban openly criticized the producers and staff.

“Especially that damn acting, be sure to cut it out! “You’re such a rude monkey!”

“… Excuse me, Mr. Hoban? There were over 150 people watching.”

“I can cover up whatever they’re talking about! Whatever you say, do it right! “Cut him down as comically as possible!”

He lost his temper and left.

In other words, I thought that would be enough.

Well, if I had persuaded them that a certain level of adaptation was necessary to maintain , it might have surprisingly worked. Everyone’s arms are bent inwards more than a slightly crazy actor from a foreign country.

But unfortunately, there were several people who were thrown out of Mr. Hoban’s arms.

And, surprisingly, one of them was a producer.

After Amos huffed and disappeared, the subordinate blatantly shrugged his shoulders.

“So, what should we do?”

“Whatever, I’m going to resign anyway.”

The producer grinned.

“That scene was amazing! “I think it would be perfect if I could capture the scene of him falling down and the scared Hoban, but I’m not sure if my skills are good enough.”

“Oh, don’t worry about that.”

The subordinate also smiled.

“I, who was an aspiring sitcom, will give you a really good fuck.”

So four days later,

Although the final tape suffered some difficulties, such as being lost along the way, it arrived safely in the control room.

And it began to flow equally throughout the United States.

Of course, at the home of a father and daughter family in Texas.

* * *

“… dad.”

“Hmm, why are you doing this, Katie? Do you need pocket money?”

“I do not need. “You know I have a part-time job.”

“Uh, well, it was!”

Jack Miller, who runs a hardware store on West 6th Street in Texas and lives a decent life, has been a little happier lately.

This was because my relationship with my teenage daughter, who had ignored me no matter what I said, began to slowly recover.

It was surprising considering the goal between the two, but it wasn’t that strange.

It was just that “Richard I of New York” was more enjoyable than that goal.

… Well, at least that’s what Katie Miller thought.

On the day of opening, she almost went crazy.

“No, what is it, Dad! Where in the world is there a movie like this?! “What the hell is the ending?”

“Uh, um… Actually, my dad found it quite interesting… .”

“What a waste of an actor! Seriously, it could have been better than this, right?!”

“Uh, um? Of course it is! “Of course!”

My daughter spent most of the night talking about how trashy the movie was, and of course it was hard to get back to normal after that.

Katie, who had been paying attention, hesitated for a few days and eventually reached out her hand first.

Well, to be exact, it was a shopping bag.

“… this.”

“Well, what is this…” ?”

“gift.”

“… … what?”

“Dad really likes . I’m not sure, but when the first Albabee came out, I heard that a new collector’s edition was released, so I bought one. “It’s nothing special, just listen to it when you’re bored!”

The daughter left those words and ran away.

After being left alone in the living room, my father looked blankly at the handsome album he was holding.

My daughter started working part-time because she wanted to buy WTS’ new album. But at this price she wouldn’t have been able to buy anything because she didn’t have enough money.

The daughter, who had been scolded and scolded for being immature, bought her father a gift with the first money she ever earned.

Even though I am at an age where there are a lot of things I want to buy.

Mr. Miller finally lowered his head.

‘… In this way, it wasn’t Ketty who was the problem, but me.’

The next day, despite his shame, he bought WTS’ new album at a music store and gave it to his daughter.

The two father and daughter reconciled like that.

And, after that, Mr. Miller’s daily life changed.

… In a very strange way.

“excuse, … Are you the one who sells the raven sword of Whewy-yul?”

“yes?!”

“… Any problem?”

“Oh, no! Well, I didn’t think it was a man… !”

To be exact, I didn’t think he would be a rugged old man.

The girl who was anxiously waiting for her second-hand dealer at the station was taken aback when she saw the imposing size of Mr. Miller.

She cowered and stammered an excuse.

“It’s a thousand dollars, but if you came just for the look… Are these actor goods? If you need a model knife, it’s much cheaper and better to get it from somewhere else… .”

“Twelve hundred dollars.”

“… yes?”

“Looking at the white thread on the handle, I guess this is the first edition of the Blu-ray special edition. Although it has been reprinted several times, only the fifteen issued in the first edition have the thread that appeared in Whewy-yul’s flashbacks. “One thousand dollars is the price for the regular version.”

“… … .”

“From next time, it would be better to know the exact market price and sell it.”

“Oh, yes, thank you…” ?”

Mr. Miller coolly handed the puzzled girl a wad of dollars, then accompanied her to the bank and helped her safely put it in, before parting ways.

It was like that.

Until now, people have said about Kang Min, ‘He’s not a bad actor…’ Mr. Miller’s thoughts, which he had been thinking about at the same level, went beyond ‘He’s pretty good’ and ‘He has a manly side to him’, and after he became the opportunity to reconcile with his daughter, he ended up reaching beyond the warp.

They say that stealing, which I learned late in life, is scary, but of course my daughter was dumbfounded.

“No, Dad! “You made such a fuss a while back because I bought two albums!!”

“Hmm, Ketty, you like the river! Just to cheer you on… .”

“I can say I’m a fan, but I still don’t buy knives! And what cheer is there for second-hand transactions!!”

After arguing for a while, the father and daughter agreed to hang the knife near the front door.

The father was inwardly happy, and the daughter held her head.

The contents seemed to have been swapped.

“If you’re going to go that far, just go see his face. I heard there will be a fan meeting here soon. Should I make a reservation?”

“Hmm, what nonsense! Why am I going to see that guy’s face!”

“… … .”

I want to make my ears bigger─ Katie gritted her teeth unavoidably.

She decided that as soon as she started receiving reservations for fan meetings, she would immediately make reservations in her father’s name.

And, that opportunity came sooner than expected.

Of course, it wasn’t a fan meeting.

“Oh, you know it’s 9 o’clock today, right? Talk show.”

“Hmm, I’m not particularly interested, but if you want to see it, Katie… .”

“It’s going to spin, really…” Ah, it’s a preview.”

The two focused their gaze.

And two minutes passed.

The two father and daughter blinked for a moment and then looked at each other blankly.

“?”

“???”

… Talk show?
