The King of Dying Smoke Episode 174

A plan that only planners don’t know (8)

As October passes and the end of the year approaches,

The atmosphere at the historic Actors Studio was a bit different from usual.

This is why the students who were discussing who would win the award among their seniors, whom they would normally not even look at, were busy making a fuss this year.

Whatever the reason, this time it was because their generation was a hot topic.

“Look over there. “It’s Jason!”

“You’re really busy these days, right? “Because of ‘Richard I,’ a topic that has only been around for 4 years suddenly became popular.”

“Honestly, I don’t know if it was that bad? Honestly, if you look at him as the main character, his acting was just average, right? “On a topic buried between actor Kang Min and senior Papadopoulos.”

“I know yeah.”

[Hahahahahahahaha—!!]

As if the timing was right, an advertising video focusing on Kangmin played on TV.

A large mixed breed horse with an exotic appearance,

A majestic attire and an anti-tank rocket draped over one’s shoulder.

It’s an appearance that no one can say other than strange.

However, that ridiculous scene and the actor from a foreign country directly defeated the director Hopper Dusk and the arrogant Hollywood blockbuster.

It was truly a situation no one expected.

“… “Director Dusk is still in hiding, right?”

“It’s quite shocking. Honestly, if it had happened to me, I would have wanted to hang myself, right?”

“It’s like getting hit by a truck.”

“I was unlucky. The horse charge scene was at a level that will go down in history… .”

But whether it was luck or nonsense, there was no way what happened.

Regardless of the controversy surrounding the movie itself, the public received very positively the scene in which an exotic actor on a horse charges forward with an anti-tank rocket while laughing loudly.

No, beyond that, strange things are already popping up as year-end gifts.

[Perfect reproduction of Richard I from the movie! From tattered armor to anti-tank rockets, everything is done in 1/15 size!]

[RPG-7 and Stinger missile can be replaced! Precise manufacturing even includes a shell firing function! When you press the switch, you get a realistic firing sound and even the lively laughter of an actual actor?!]

[This Christmas, give your child the experience of becoming the lion-hearted king of anti-tank warfare!]

… It was absolutely bizarre.

“Uh, does something like that sell?”

“It’s selling really well. For some reason, they say that grown men, not kids, are buying it… .”

“The world seems crazy.”

“So… .”

Kang Min is an actor who will soon be in his third year of acting, and he even debuted overseas. About half of the people here are seniors.

However, no one at Actors Studio, who recognizes pride, could show jealousy toward Kang-min.

In general, a person is like, ‘Even my country is like that…’ ‘ Jealousy is only possible if we are at the same level. ‘What the fuck did you do?’ Once you reach that level, there is nothing you can do other than exclaim in exclamation. In their view, ‘Richard I of New York’ was exactly the same as ‘The Crusaders of New York.’

… Well, in other words, it also meant that it was obvious where most jealousy could fly.

“Jason, you can catch a movie well and show off… !”

“Damn, if only I could take that seat… .”

“Even if I didn’t have a schedule at the time, I would have rushed in first!”

Complaints broke out everywhere.

If the twins had heard them, they would have been outraged and thought, ‘Didn’t you guys curse at him until half a year ago?’ But, well, that’s the way it is with the world.

Everyone was pitiful and jealous of Jason’s spot, saying, ‘It was mine.’

Of course, there were exceptions.

An unknown actress thought this way.

‘It’s a talent to bury a good actor. Honestly, who would have thought that actor Kang Min would be that great?’

And, before long, I came to this conclusion.

‘Everyone is stupid. It’s better to think about how I can be buried well than to beat up a lucky person like Jason.’

* * *

In the United States, the term ‘burying’ had quite a few meanings.

Simply becoming friends and asking for favors should be enough, but it is weak. In the United States, it cannot be said that it is particularly expedient to raise awareness by causing a scandal with a popular partner, regardless of whether he is a male actor or an actress.

Above all, the opponent has little experience compared to his reputation and is even a foreigner.

This means that it is not difficult to seduce them, take advantage of them, or even cut them off later.

‘Of course it won’t be easy. There’s nothing to lose by trying.’

Once I reached the conclusion, there was no reason to hesitate.

Actor Jason somehow looked gaunt, uncharacteristic of someone who had recently experienced tremendous success. But he was better off that way.

The actress immediately came out with a bright smile on her face.

“Senior Jason, I heard a rumor!”

“… rumor?”

“There was a commercial filmed on CBC! Isn’t it rare in our studio’s history to appear in a terrestrial commercial in less than four years? amazing!”

“… It’s not something I wanted to be on. That monster… “The actor who played Richard I dragged him away.”

“You became friends with such a great actor! “It’s better!”

“… … well.”

“Well, the scene at the end where the senior closes his eyes as he dies was really amazing!”

The actress promoted Jason with exaggerated language and all sorts of things, but he didn’t look like he should.

When I secretly asked him to introduce me, his complexion even turned pale.

He lashed out several times.

“… “It’s better to quit.”

“Wow, that’s really too much! “Can’t you do that much to your junior?”

“I’m telling you this because I’m thinking of you! “That monster is out of his mind!!”

“… ?”

“Angle! Arm position! Tension in your fingers! Even the strength of your breath… ! It was really going to turn me into a corpse! No, it was really a corpse! It took me five days to get it right! The director even realized something and extended it to 10 days! “I was just acting like a corpse all day!”

“uh… .”

“Wake! It’s hell over there! “Do you want to go to hell alive?!”

It seemed like he didn’t really want to share his personal connections.

I have to at least make some sense as an excuse─ The actress couldn’t help but frown inwardly.

Jason tried to stop him for a while, but then lowered his eyes as if he had given up.

“… “There’s nothing I can’t do as an introduction, but be careful.”

“Don’t be too scared! Kang Min is famous for kicking ‘Ray Gold-Marie’ and choosing public service announcements, right? “What’s so scary about such a good person?”

“Yeah, I kicked that Ray Goldmarie in the face… But think about it. Is that really goodness? Rather, isn’t that a type of madness that should be called?”

“… … .”

Afterwards, the actress accompanied Jason on his schedule and met Kang Min.

“Hello, teacher! This is her, Judith Leroy, a junior at the studio… !”

“hello! nice to see you!”

“Nice to meet you, my name is Kangmin.”

“You can speak comfortably!”

Unlike Jason, who for some reason called himself ‘teacher’ and trembled, Kangmin was more polite than I had heard and was not picky about everything.

In other words, he looked like a very pushy guy.

But regardless of that, the current popularity was real.

When the actress heard the news one day, she was surprised and asked:

“I heard the news! “Is there really a sequel to ‘The Amos Hoban Show’?!”

“Well, it just so happened to be like that.”

“There’s no way something like that could have happened ‘by accident’! oh my god… !”

“Uhm… .”

It is a famous story that the career of legendary actor Alain Delon began with recognition through his engagement to actress Romy Schneider, who rose to stardom through Sissy.

At this point, it was natural for the other person to look like an express ticket.

The actress, who was carefully measuring her opponent, was inwardly delighted when she realized that her angles were unexpectedly visible.

‘This is real! Really, once the article comes out, the whole country will know my name!’

‘The agency doesn’t seem to care at all! ‘There’s plenty to eat!’

‘Jason, that person is so scary that he’s not even 3 years old!’

The actress went straight to work.

It was very easy. All I had to do was figure out the schedule as best as I could, pretend it was a coincidence, and create rumors.

When it seemed like a certain level of friendship had been built, the actress secretly looked at the other person.

“Well, this special program audition! “Can I participate too?!”

“There are no restrictions on participation qualifications.”

“Oh, it’s not that, I have a role I’m interested in at the audition! “I was wondering if I could do that!”

“A role you’re interested in?”

“Why, this ‘act of a revenge murder suspect being murdered’! “I think I can do it really well!”

“… … “Hoo?”

The actor audition for the recently released involved two actors acting out a designated script, and the judges evaluating their performances.

Naturally, there were easy and difficult roles in such roles.

And the actress was confident that the role she said was the easiest. After being stabbed, all I had to do was lie down.

This is probably prepared to have the role of passing the candidates without even seeing them.

And, if I can get this—

“I am confident that I will do really well. “Can you trust me and leave it to me?”

“Hmm, I guess there’s no reason not to. “I look forward to it.”

“Thank you!”

Eating rice cake while lying down─

The actress chuckled, thinking her seduction was successful.

* * *

The actor audition for was prepared in a much more complicated process than the screenwriter audition.

There is no way for experienced actors to participate in an event like this where ‘if you get selected, you get your money, but if you don’t get selected, you lose.’ Therefore, these categories were managed separately and secretly.

Instead, we prepared a concept that praised the promising players from each participating country as much as possible and gave them harsh nicknames such as ‘Japan’s Star’ and ‘Malaysia’s Pearl’.

At this point, the actors had nothing to lose.

“The contestants are also outstanding, but this one also gets the focus, right? Even if it falls, I don’t think it will cause much damage… .”

“No matter what, it’s a title I won at a global show, so it will be good to use it. “If it catches on, it’ll be a big hit.”

“Wouldn’t it be okay to have students participate up to their fifth year?”

“… “Let’s get ready.”

Since it was like this even in Korea, where the situation was relatively less desperate, it goes without saying that the entertainment industry, which is thirsty for international fame in Southeast Asia and elsewhere, responded as well.

Applications piled up like a mountain every day, and the broadcasting station devoted a corner to each news story.

It was literally global attention.

Of course, actress Judith Leroy, who was nominated(?), couldn’t help but laugh at the whole thing.

‘Anyway, it’s for naive people. ‘The people who will be selected have already been decided, including me.’

The actress wasn’t satisfied with that.

She spread the rumor slowly and secretly. The relationship between Kang Min and Judith Leroy was unusual.

Even if they were not immediately noticeable, they were things that would ignite and explode at the same time once a scandal broke out.

‘Perfect!’

It was just that the name value wasn’t enough, but I was confident that if given the opportunity, I wouldn’t miss it.

The actress felt like she could already see herself as Alain Delon.

“Well, I heard a rumor… Mr. Leroy and Mr. Kang, that… .”

“Please keep it a secret. “You know, right?”

“yes yes!”

“Well, it’s a story that’s been going around recently… .”

“Oh, I’ll just deny it for now. Until the article came out. “Did you know?”

“… yes.”

The actress internally sneered as she felt the other contestants looking at her with jealous eyes.

I didn’t think it was cowardly. The one who didn’t get it is the idiot.

Rather, shouldn’t she be respected for quickly recognizing the potential and putting it into action?

At this point, the other participants couldn’t help but look foolish.

And the day before the audition, her first role was chosen.

The actress looked at the tournament ticket, then threw it away and laughed.

“Seobom? “It’s a name I’ve never heard of.”

It seemed like the audition had already ended.

* * *

And at the same time,

An actor whose name I had never heard of, Seo Bom, was quietly looking down at the floor.

“… … .”

There were various types of treasures on the floor.

Hook spanner.

Combination spanner.

Box spanner.

Socket spanner.

Double ended spanner.

And even a bundled Magneto Spanner.

She looked down at them and muttered.

“I heard that there is someone who is making strange rumors about my senior.”

Of course it’s a rumor, but

Of course it’s a rumor, but

If not, if not─

‘… … .’

Seo Bom chose the largest single-ended wrench among them, put it in her arms, and stood up.

It was a New York-style, elegant decision on the day of the audition.
