Lord Of Dying Smoke - Chapter 172

“It was only about the quality of the work, so it was subtle at the box office. In particular, wasn’t the latter beaten up in his own country for having brought down the country’s honor? “They said the prime minister didn’t even send a congratulatory message.”

“That was such a strange thing… … .”

The reason why Bong Joon-ho’s “Parasite” became so popular was not just because it won the Palme d’Or at Cannes.

This is because among the Palme d’Or winning films, it overwhelmingly ranked first in global box office and even won an Academy Award in the United States, the graveyard of foreign films.

Critics were astonished that the Palme d’Or winner, which has the status of ‘I don’t know, but it’s a masterpiece’ to the public, was a huge box office hit, earning $260 million globally, comparable to a commercial film.

At the same time, I also became a little greedy. If you’re going to make money anyway, isn’t it human nature to want to make money while being praised as a masterpiece?

And Jiang Wei had name value, experience, and a halo from Hong Kong films of the past.

All of them were things that the judges couldn’t help but stroke their chins.

“… … The response seems to be good, sir… … .”

“Hmph, if you have eyes, you can’t help but do that!”

Jiang Wei also did not point out that the interpreter was a bit soft.

This was because he had implicitly hinted at it in the first place.

If you were to be polite to Kang Min and those nosy people in a place like this, it would be an insult to the country and your reputation as an adult.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t just leave.

Therefore, it was necessary to let subordinates take care of themselves and be ‘considerate’.

Specifically, out of consideration for superiors, he takes his own hands in interpreting the content.

‘Even if it comes to light later and causes controversy, the plan will already be in my hands by then. There is no way you can dare to beat this Jiang Wei.’

A crooked smile appeared.

‘That young chick actor should also be honored.’

It was only because the nosy bastards were afraid of China’s magnificent culture and kept it in check, but Jiang Wei never once considered himself inferior to the stupid union writers in Hollywood.

This case will be a golden opportunity to show Jiang Wei’s power─

While Jiang Wei had such a plan, it seemed like the judges had soon come to a conclusion.

They asked a few questions, whispered to each other, and then everyone nodded their heads.

“I agree to be selected.”

“I will agree.”

“It’s not bad.”

“I need a name… … .”

It was the first near unanimous agreement since the auditions began.

The other participants shrugged their shoulders, and Jiang Wei quietly pursed his lips.

Kangmin hadn’t opened his mouth yet, but that was okay. With a group of judges with this level of experience, there is no way that an actor who is almost a rookie could topple the main character.

He was an outsider.

‘No matter what you think, the outcome is almost certain.’

‘This project is mine.’

Seriously, what on earth could a second-year actor do to convince those dozen judges? It was as if the situation had already been decided.

Jiang Wei was so full of dreams.

And, it was at that time that Kangmin picked up the microphone.

“Hmm, sorry. “Author Jiang Wei?”

“Please speak.”

“If the other judges agree, I think it’s right for me to agree.”

“Huh, of course it is!”

“But before that, let me do a light test.”

“What’s the problem? “You can do whatever you want.”

Jiang Wei smiled and waited for the question to come back.

That kid doesn’t know the fear of career. To someone else, I’m about to get grumpy with such a difficult question, but for Jiang Wei, it’s like a breeze.

On the contrary, wouldn’t it be like spitting in your face by showing your narrow-mindedness?

Jiang Wei laughed at the other person, feeling pitiful.

So, what-

That was until Kangmin opened his mouth in a very indifferent tone.

“Let’s say a person gets into a car accident.”

“hmm.”

“The trauma resulted in broken ribs. There is heavy bleeding. But to make matters worse, I developed a pneumothorax in my lung.”

“Um, um… … ?”

“My lungs began to fill with blood instead of air. Hypoxia makes you feel dizzy and your airways begin to clog. “The phlegm boils and the body gradually becomes cold.”

Kang Min gave a really useless explanation in detail.

And asked.

“Then let me ask you a question here.”

“Haha, as much as you want!”

“Death from hemorrhage, airway asphyxiation, and failure of the lungs themselves. How would the author divide and express these three things?”

“… … .”

Jiang Wei blinked.

Strange… … .

I don’t understand the meaning of the question… … .

* * *

Strictly speaking, there were not many people who knew about Kang Min’s madness.

To the dismay of those who know him, Kang-min was considered a sane and common-sense person in the world as long as he was satisfied with what he wanted – the act of dying.

Moreover, the positions of the victims (?) were so divided that it was difficult to even recognize each other’s existence, including high-ranking officials at MBS, stunt actors, and agency directors. Of course, there is no such thing as prior information.

-That was the reason why Jiang Wei could only remain silent.

“Well, I guess that explanation wasn’t enough. So, in the same situation, I am asking how you would distinguish between dying from excessive bleeding, dying from blood filling up the lungs, and dying from airway blockage in the same situation, based on the script.”

“… … ?”

Jiang Wei looked at Kang Min blankly.

He had a serious expression.

No matter how you look at it, it wasn’t like he was spouting nonsense on purpose to get people into trouble.

No, it was more than that.

Kangmin’s expression showed that he had no doubt that anyone would understand what he was saying.

“I am not part of the Hong Kong film generation, but I liked director Tarantino’s films, so there are many works that I have seen that left a great impression on me. Teacher Jiang Wei’s chess is specifically written as Hong Kong style noir, is that correct?”

“Uh, um, right… … !”

“Noir, it’s very good. In particular, wasn’t the characteristic of the Hong Kong style that continued from a clean ending of punishment and punishment rather than a bitter gray tone?”

“hmm!”

“Then wouldn’t there be a big difference between the protagonist’s pistol penetrating the upper right corner of his nemesis’ upper body at the end and the lower right corner?”

“?”

Jiang Wei was speechless.

‘What is he saying now.’

No, what are you really saying?

Is there anyone who can tell the level of voice intensity depending on the location of the gunshot?

Is it a fool?

Jiang Wei looked around in confusion, but it seemed like he was not the only one who was strange. The judges around her were all busy looking at Kangmin with a bewildered expression.

Some people had even worse expressions than Jiang Wei. It meant that it was the face of a madman.

Anyway, when things happened like this, Jiang Wei, who had been dazed, came to his senses for a moment.

Yes, I don’t know what you’re thinking, but as long as there are no more crazy people like that actor, this is actually an opportunity to take control.

“Well, since the upper right corner basically pierces the lungs, I think we need to include short, blurry lines about shortness of breath, hemoptysis, etc… … . On the other hand, since the lower right part corresponds to the liver and intestines, we should emphasize the severity of blockage, swelling, and vomiting.”

‘?’

There were more crazy people.

More precisely, she was a crazy bitch.

Jiang Wei turned his head blankly.

The young woman who was scratching his head in the waiting room – Baek Chae-yi – was hesitantly continuing to speak.

“The basic level is like this, but I think there is a lot to think about depending on the exact location of the lungs. Depending on the location, pneumothorax may occur simply because air collects in the pleura… … .”

“Atelectasis… … “Something like loss of contact between the parietal and visceral pleura?”

“yes. “It’s closer to ‘gurgling.’”

‘???’

“On the other hand, to become ‘Huhuh’.”

“I think it has to be a case where vocal fremitus is extremely reduced.”

“Breath sounds?”

“yes. When you look at it in action… … .”

‘????’

If I had to make an excuse, writer Baek Chae-i has prepared a lot for today.

I visited each and every staff member at the time to gather information, and sometimes even bowed my head while carrying gifts.

All of the recent stories were thoroughly prepared through such a tearful process.

‘???????’

… … Of course, to those around him, he was just another crazy person.

It didn’t even end with two.

This time, another madman quickly intervened.

“But bro… … “No, actor, if you’re like that, wouldn’t falling to your death be possible?”

“Hmm… … ?”

“Isn’t it difficult? “Internal bleeding would come first.”

“If my ribs are broken, what’s one chance?”

“Keueuuu?”

“Maybe.”

“I think I would write kruch.”

“hmm.”

It was truly a terrible thing.

Those who would have become ideal drama writers someday if they had tried alone have turned into idiots thanks to one crazy man.

But at least no one tackled this crazy conversation.

Even the high-ranking people at broadcasting stations, agencies, and production houses who had been fighting with each other just a moment ago were the same.

It was truly a shock comparable to encountering an octopus monster in the Cthulhu mythos and rolling dice.

‘what… … .’

‘What on earth are we looking at…? … .’

But I didn’t get far.

Before long, Kangmin, who had finished his story, turned his head.

“Oh, I’m sorry. So, what do you think, author Jiang Wei, here?”

“… … .”

“You can speak comfortably.”

“… … .”

In conclusion, Jiang Wei achieved his goal.

He became a superstar whose reputation grew not only in the United States but also around the world.

… … It ended up happening.

└Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

└Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

└Good harvest ㄷㄷㄷㄷ

└Kangmin Are you really crazy? Haha, you’ve been acting while thinking about all those things?

└I watched it live and it was really pitiful haha ​​I was serious and went to watch it, but the actor was crazy haha.

└An actor explaining how you should die when your lung is hit haha.

-There is nothing to feel sorry for. Well, what I said in Chinese was completely different from the interpretation, so I’m in an uproar now.

└How different was it?

└Well, they said they would get paid and were arrogant. They also told them to kick out the other participants.

└ㅁㅊ

└He looked pitiful, but he was a villain;

-Looking at it again, the judges were laughing hard. The CAE representative was so entranced that he couldn’t say a word.

└It looks like the country won’t be able to intervene;

└Richard I… … ? Ah, you mean the actor’s own ‘madness’…? … .

└Lloyd Gonzalez is the only one crying and clapping haha

└That guy doesn’t seem to be an ordinary idiot either;

There were some things in the world that could not be helped.

As soon as the first episode of was aired, Jiang Wei’s solemn appearance instantly went viral and turned into all kinds of memes and gifs.

He shouted from the corner of the room, “How dare you!” I was furious, but there was no way.

Jiang Wei’s name was not among the five people selected, and in fact, even his close acquaintances could not bear to deny his ugliness.

Jiang Wei gritted his teeth and worked hard to plan to somehow get himself covered in shit.

And well, I got stuck before I could even start.

“Uh, um… … Wouldn’t it be better to quit… … ? If you’re going to do more, why should I stay still? … .”

“Ha, aren’t you the manager of those two bastards! What on earth can he do to this Jiang Wei? … !”

“Stop, teacher! That person is Yoo Ji-ah!”

“… … what?”

“I’m Yoo Ji-ah from Korea! You know the !”

“… … .”

Jiang Wei closed his mouth.

It was a name that made even his eyes tremble for a moment.

Artist Baek Chae-i’s teacher.

Writer Yoo Ji-min’s older sister.

At the same time, it is a monster that has no end if you count its titles, including being the original writer of the , which is currently out for 8 seasons in the U.S., being director Lee Hyun-seok’s partner for two consecutive Academy Awards, and holding the record for the biggest box office hit in Korea.

At least Jiang Wei was a person who could easily be buried just by his location in the United States.

I don’t like media exposure to such topics, so my face isn’t well-known, but still, he was that kind of kid?

However, even while Jiang Wei and the others were entranced, the big man was just laughing.

“Will you please stop?”

“… … .”

But the power of those words was not insignificant.

Jiang Wei and his party looked like the remnants of the defeated soldiers and ran away.

Author Yoo Ji-ah was heartbroken when she saw them like that. Despite his reputation, he didn’t seem to be used to putting pressure on anyone.

And then, he turned his head and lowered his head.

“Ah, this is my first time seeing you like this, actor Kang Min. “My name is writer Yoo Ji-ah.”

“… … This is actor Kang Min. “Please speak lower.”

“No, I’m comfortable here.”

“… … Yeah, yeah… … .”

Kang Min, who was quite at his own pace, was also someone I couldn’t help but talk to.

The reputation he had was fame, and regardless of that, most of the people who were connected to Kang Min, including Yoo Ji-min, Yoo Ji-yu, and Baek Chae-i, were related to this great writer in a big or small way. He couldn’t help but be careful with his words.

Honestly, I don’t even know why this big guy came here.

“Um, well… … .”

Author Yoo Ji-ah played with her bangs a little embarrassed.

“Basically, I came because I was worried about Chai and Jimin, but while I was here, I also wanted to say a word to actor Kang Min.”

“I will listen carefully.”

“Hey, don’t be like that.”

For some reason, the ghostwriter hesitated for a moment.

But soon, as if he had made up his mind, he sighed and opened his mouth.

“After this, it’s an actor audition, right?”

“yes.”

“Only the people who are participating are Jiyu, Jo Yoon-ah, Seo Bom, and Aislin Lewis… … And Penelope Olsen is there, right? “Right?”

“yes.”

“So, that… … “Do you know?”

“of course. They are all great people. “We plan to conduct an neutral review with the utmost care.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

“… … ?”

“… … “You don’t have to resemble your brother in even things like this.”

“???”
