The King of Dying Smoke Episode 169

A plan that only planners don’t know (3)

The statement(?) issued by Kang Min greatly disturbed those involved in the Korean industry.

People who were related to him, big or small, as well as people he had never met, began to carefully clear their schedules.

“you can do it… you can do it… .”

Writer Baek Chae-i stroked her heart and trembled her lips.

“Wouldn’t it be possible to use Sidabari?”

Producer Yoo Ho-hyeon shrugged his shoulders and said that he was lucky to have recently become a freelancer.

“… “You can at least take on a challenge in your later years, right?”

“If you are in your later years, what am I?”

Senior actors Lee Hoon and Park Seong-ho began a tug-of-war by leaving their appearance plans blank.

“Would you like me to help you, Jiyu?”

“… it’s okay. “If you’re going to borrow the help of her older sister and her brother-in-law, you should have done so a long time ago.”

Actor Yoo Ji-yu began preparing to walk into hell again even though he did not understand it himself.

“If I didn’t lose the bet… !”

“If you hadn’t made that bet… !”

Director Choi Bong-man and producer Han Ye-seul were walking around like crazy.

“—It’s not too late.”

And Seo Bom, who perfectly performed the recent Webflix hit, quietly raised the corners of her mouth.

Those who were truly considered powerful began to stretch themselves.

All of them were S-level talents who were unparalleled in Korea.

But there was one problem.

Korea was not the only place where this statement reached.

* * *

“Oh my God. “A movie like this is in the top 100 box office box offices of all time!”

“Isn’t this the only thing you can do without eyes?”

“what?”

“what?”

By the time it left the theater, the evaluation of “Richard I of New York” was still confusing.

In the Western world, fierce arguments at the level of 5:5 continued.

The support and opposition varied from 4:6 to 6:4 depending on the trend, but there was mostly no disagreement that this was an unparalleled product for many years beyond this year.

However, what─

The reason why I’m specifically talking about the Western world here is to mean that this was not the case in the Eastern world.

No, in fact, it wasn’t even the subject of evaluation.

If Korea said it was a melting pot of cheers, the reaction from other Asian countries could be summed up in just one word.

“That’s okay?”

If the reaction of the Asian public was one of admiration and envy, the reaction of Asian broadcasting officials was closer to surprise and shock.

The American film industry, including Hollywood, has considered itself the center of the world and a melting pot of races.

However, there was no one who did not know that what was inside was thorough racism.

The Academy Awards, also known as the ‘White Oscars’, discriminated against all races other than whites, and even now that blacks have become more aware of them due to recent social movements, Asians have been completely excluded.

-Foreign language movies? Well, I’ll take that into account.

-But you guys coming into our fence is out of the question.

White people who hold power, black people who share it, and others who are not particularly good.

Even a few years after a Korean director won an Academy Award, there was no sign of change in America’s attitude.

Asians in related industries have felt some kind of anger, but have resigned themselves to the fact that there is nothing they can do about it.

So, well,

It was said that some crazy man made a bumper car out of rags to fight against such an iron wall, and then rammed it into it.

“Oh my, this is crazy.”

“does not make sense… !”

“This was possible?!”

All of Asia was in shock.

While Korea was talking excitedly, most of them were speechless.

And, as usual, some countries quickly turned their shock into jealousy.

“You think you were lucky after all?”

“Hmm, I guess so. “The famous director Takehaya Sensei’s review was of the opinion that it was irregular in all respects and was therefore of no use as a reference. In other words, all the gears just came together by chance and produced a result that even I had not imagined.”

“Takehaya-sensei’s opinion is credible!”

“What the literary figures of the Yangtze River, including Yu Xuan and Jiang Wei, are criticizing all of this is that we, China, have already done it.”

“Korea has long had a specialty in imitation. “Isn’t the K-pop they boast about the result of their efforts to somehow copy America’s unique culture?”

“That’s right. In the first place, we, China, already gave up on it. In my personal opinion, there is no need to worry about latecomers—”

The reactions of China and Japan were not particularly significant.

In the 90s, when Pokemon was doing well, Korea tried to mix it up and failed, and on the other hand, when the Korean Wave was doing well, Japan pushed Cool Japan as a national policy and ended up ruining it. Isn’t that how the three countries of Korea, China, and Japan are supposed to be?

But this time was a little different.

This biting involved even more emotion than usual.

That’s right, the #1 singer on the Billboard chart was a singer from the 1960s, and he achieved a mental victory, and he could argue that the Academy Awards are no different from the three major film festivals, but for Kang Min, there was absolutely nothing he could do about it this time.

‘It’s not the result obtained after the prime of life like Yang Yang-gyeong… It’s only been 2 years now… !’

‘What is this! ‘Where on earth did that bastard come from?’

‘Does this make sense?!’

‘Why is there such a person in Korea… !’

The era of and in the 1950s is long gone, and the era of Hong Kong film legend Wong Kar-wai also ended 20 years ago.

Still, China and Japan, who thought they were better than Korea, were hit with a double shock with the recent advancement of Korean films.

Southeast Asia and other countries say, ‘That’s it… .’ This was the reason why China and Japan started biting at each other as if they were enemies while just blinking blankly.

“So what Mr. Takehaya is saying is that it will be difficult for actor Kang Min’s next film to succeed?”

“Hmm, hmmm. To be precise, I am saying that I am concerned. The success of was not normal. This is because people who succeed in a slightly unusual way tend to get caught up in that method, right? That can hold you back—”

“To summarize author Yu Xuan’s explanation… .”

“Yes, the more confident you are about how much you have prepared, the more likely you are to deviate from the public’s tastes! This is especially true if you are an actor with a strong ego!”

Renowned industry insiders such as director Masato Takehaya and writer Yu Xuan further raised such voices.

After all, the public believes what they want to believe, so they naturally went along with this disparagement. Anyway, I didn’t want to admit that someone from the next country had accomplished something great.

Up to this point, Kang Min’s evaluation would not have been very high, at least in China and Japan.

But one piece,

A single proclamation instantly turned this whole situation upside down.

“uh… “What is this?”

“Hehe, I don’t understand. “I can’t help but think that this is another display of the actor’s eccentric nature.”

The day went like this.

However, starting from that day, the bad reviews about Kang Min gradually decreased and soon stopped.

Everyone was starting to shake their heads.

‘Are we going to recruit actors, directors, and writers regardless of nationality?’

‘Hollywood… If you’re a talented person in the U.S., you can find it on your own, right? In Korea, you can just pick it up through your network instead of making it public.’

‘But the fact that they put something like this up… .’

Again, Asians in the film industry usually have a warped feeling toward Hollywood. This is because they are openly looking down on me even though I have no intention of falling behind in terms of ability.

However, the only actor who succeeded in establishing a base there issued a statement.

The traitor Dong-tak… Let’s hit Hollywood instead.

From the beginning, there was only one conclusion that could be drawn.

‘Of course, you had Korea in mind, but if you are confident in your skills, anyone is good!’

‘The commander is probably Henry Pyon. Although “Richard I” was a success, many of the staff members who left the project will not return. If that’s the case, it might mean filling it with a new one… .’

‘Was it Shim Yu-hyeon? A Korean took charge of the VFX team and did it perfectly. The flag has already been planted.’

‘I am confident in my skills! ‘It’s not impossible for me either!’

‘First of all, if I can just create a career… .’

Everyone swallowed their saliva.

Eventually, positive reviews mixed with expectations for Kang Min’s new project began to cautiously come out. Of course, it was true.

Of course, there were quite a few people who criticized that atmosphere.

-You didn’t say what you were going to do in the end.

-Are you crazy to be fooled by something like that and keep your mouth shut? wwwwww

-Come here without a scenario, without a format, without anything. Those who are fooled here must be out of their minds.

-It’s foolish to believe in it.

Otherwise, it was correct.

Kang Min really didn’t reveal anything.

It was natural since there was no plan to reveal it in the first place.

But that turmoil was soon resolved.

This was because before long, a truly perfect interpretation emerged.

“Oh, honestly, I don’t understand why you’re wandering around!”

Lloyd Gonzalez.

He, the director of the famous production company Steel&Wiztone, an outstanding director, and someone who has a lot of ties to Kang Min, stepped forward in person.

His answer to the puzzled reporters was clear.

“Could you explain in detail?”

“There is no need to explain this in detail. “What do people die of? That’s it, isn’t it?”

“Some people are saying that this is just nonsense.”

“no. Just the opposite. “I was finally able to understand the foolish choices I had made up until then.”

“yes?”

Lloyd Gonzalez grinned as he looked at the reporters blinking.

from .

“Everyone was puzzled when Actor Kang decided to appear. “Even I haven’t really understood its purpose until now.”

“But now it’s clear!”

“This actor had already been making plans with confidence since his debut. That’s why he filmed ‘The Human Tetlogy’ after successfully completing ‘Kings and Monarchs’!”

The first of the is the goodness of humans.

The second part of the is the malignancy of humans.

Thirdly, we dealt with the factors that discriminate between humans through the differences between humans and aliens, and fourthly, we dealt with the pinnacle of those factors, love.

If so, the answer is obvious.

“That’s right!”

Lloyd Gonzalez declared with conviction.

“Actor Kang Min’s theme this time is ‘What is a human being?’ And this has been planned for two years already!”

“Huh.”

“oh my god… !”

Exclamations erupted from everywhere.

An actor who couldn’t even tell himself was portraying the entire process up to this point. Indeed, it was such a grand and amazing plan that such a reaction would not be surprising.

… Well, that was it, except that I didn’t even know who was in charge.

* * *

-… … .

“… … .”

-… Did you think of that?

“You couldn’t have done it… !”

Kangmin held his head for a rare occasion.

Why?

Why did it become like this─

Where on earth was there a possibility that something like this could happen with the purpose of ‘I just can’t think of anything, so let’s gather the opinions of smart people and pass it on?’ !

It seems like people are even appreciating and accepting this nonsense!

‘No, no…’ If you think about it, it hasn’t gone against my purpose yet… .’

Kangmin struggled to compose himself.

okay. It is not a situation that cannot be resolved.

This is Lloyd Gonzalez’s personal opinion.

Broadcast planning is something whose concept can change twelve times a month. Even if there was someone who truly accepted that, it wouldn’t last long.

‘There’s no need to be negative already. First of all, there are people who are interested!’

If you think about it, it’s not a bad situation.

No, it might actually be better.

Kangmin worked so hard to calm his mind.

… Well, that was possible until I heard the number of people from all over the world who responded to this statement(?).
