The King of Death Smoke Episode 183
Blood Audition (9)
In the United States, there is something called delayed broadcasting, which is similar to live broadcasting.
It’s a bit weird to broadcast it raw, but it’s also a bit tiring to edit it thoroughly over several days. That’s why we delay it by about 30 minutes and then do minimal editing and processing before broadcasting it.
The public doesn’t really feel the delay either.
Even though BBC News and the music shows of the three major Korean broadcasting companies are delayed by 5 minutes, they are still lumped together as live broadcasts. In the vast United States, where there is a 3-hour time difference between the East and the West, a delay of about 30 minutes is not a big deal.
Yes, it is such a trivial amount of time.
So, what I mean is─
Now, more than ever, those 30 minutes were the most horrific misjudgment in history.
“Haha, this is the perfect atmosphere!”
“That’s true. I don’t think there was any need to be so careful.”
There was laughter among the higher-ups at Agency WMA.
On the screen in the conference room where they were sitting, the second round of actor auditions for , which was currently being broadcast, was being broadcast.
Although the person in charge in the audience said, “There is no problem,” these high-ranking officials, of course, did not take action based solely on those words.
You have to knock on the stone bridge before crossing it, and even the most loyal servants can make mistakes. They were planning to carefully watch the atmosphere after the broadcast started and decide whether to proceed with this plan or stop it.
But it didn’t mean anything.
Well, unfortunately, the scene started to catch their eye with a time difference of 30 minutes.
A few people whistled in the openly uneasy atmosphere in the audience.
“These decoys are doing their part!”
“Representative Jaylen, that guy looks obviously flustered!”
“What is this? You can create some kind of controversy as you wish.”
“I wasted time by believing what my friend on site said, haha!”
They laughed heartily and were convinced as they watched the audience boo and the actors on stage panic.
This plan works.
There’s no way it won’t work.
And, if falls apart due to all kinds of noise, it was clear that CAE would receive an overwhelming blow greater than the effort it put into it.
“Let’s do it.”
“I agree.”
“There is no reason not to do it.”
The decision was reached unanimously.
It took two minutes for the order to be passed down, and another three minutes for it to be relayed to those who had bought it.
And it only took five minutes for them to respond as promised.
In just 10 minutes, the entire United States began to be covered in condemnation of the .
It was truly an all-out bombing.
reporter.
Critic.
Influencer.
Even some famous actors.
There were plenty of people who wanted to influence the big three agencies in the United States, and they didn’t take it too seriously to agree to a few skeptical comments in return.
This was especially true for actors with small names.
To be honest, how did I get here and why am I trying to become popular by such dirty tricks?
Of course, the twisted discontent made the tone even more sharp.
[Oh, so this topic came up.]
[Honestly, I’m worried that the first audition itself became so popular.]
[I agree.]
[I agree. It wasn’t hot, it was just a level of stimulation.]
Even in live streaming from all over the place, snipers poured out as if they had been waiting for it.
In this world, there are bound to be people who dislike something just because it’s popular.
The jealousy that had been hidden behind the public’s cheers and the critics’ fierce battle began to explode.
[Honestly, wasn’t itself popular for its action scenes, that is, its violence?]
[That’s right. That’s why I feel like Kang, the main character of this project, is tolerant of that kind of thing.]
[Should I be generous? Isn’t that the only acting he can do from the beginning? The was popular because of his excellent swordsmanship, but it’s a bit much to say that he’s a great actor.]
[Should I go to the Olympics or something?]
[My words!]
These people may not have been famous, but they were not to be ignored either. The public could not help but be agitated.
In just 10 minutes, Reddit and other related communities were thrown into chaos.
Anti-fans and brilliant racists started to appear everywhere.
-Now I know why that damn audition was so popular… .
-Look, honestly, who didn’t know that was exaggerated from the beginning?
-After the black ones, now the yellow ones? The zoo exhibit won’t be long!
-Why does everyone ignore me when an Asian plays Richard I? They’re all bought!
These reactions were once again picked up by someone and spread further.
Rather than calming down this reaction, the actors who received the WMA’s sponsorship added fuel to the fire.
In the end, this kind of story came out.
[In my opinion, actor Kang is a person who is self-conscious about his inability to act. He can’t act out ordinary emotions!]
[That’s really difficult. Expressing human emotions with just a few lines.]
[So, you’re obsessed with the action that you’re good at and a kind of, madness?]
It was truly a horrifying thing.
Just the fact that a huge company like WMA made a decision could change the wind and public opinion in an instant.
Criticism and condemnation of CAE and Kang Min continued everywhere, and even the sane public began to become agitated.
Everything was going exactly as WMA planned. There seemed to be no way to stop this flow.
But there was just one error here.
It just so happened that at this moment when everything was burning, Kangmin was eating a Choco Pie.
* * *
-What the… .
-huh
-holy… .
It was exactly 30 minutes.
The actors who had been cursing Kang Min while raising their voices were embarrassed when they saw the chat window suddenly become quiet, and those who had been pouring oil diligently upon receiving the order were also perplexed when there was no response.
All of WMA’s plans came to a halt in an instant.
That was because everyone who had been swearing and cheering was just blankly staring at the screen.
[―.]
There was no ambassador.
There wasn’t even any preparation.
The actor was just shrugging his shoulders and eating a cheap pie.
But, in that insignificant expression, there was all the suffering of a human being.
[Ugh…]
The main character of the movie , which deals with barrack injustice, is surprisingly not Private Santiago.
The main characters of the film are those who try to reveal the truth after his death and those who try to hide it.
Jack Nicholson’s line, “You can’t handle the truth!” is still often cited as one of the most famous lines ever, but it was nothing more than a line.
None of those who praised it as a masterpiece could truly sympathize with the suffering and desperation of Private Santiago.
But this was a little different.
[Ugh… Huuugh…]
All kinds of beatings, beatings, and absurd bullying─
More than all the acting, the sobs of the man biting into a cheap pie resonated with the public.
This was especially true for people in countries where their freedom was valued above all else.
Humans could truly be infinitely miserable.
I could have shown it just with my trembling shoulders, without any words or story.
Kang Min calmed down the wild stage with the utmost elegance.
Silence has arrived.
It was a slightly, in a different sense, an uneasy silence.
“uh….”
“Um, that… this smoke… .”
The actors, who had been happily swearing for 30 minutes, suddenly felt an ominous premonition.
Even if he was rotten, he couldn’t help it if he was an actor.
They exchanged desperate glances.
‘Damn it, do something about it!’
‘What do you want me to do after seeing that?’
‘Damn it! Why now of all times…!’
They desperately searched for a way to somehow pick up the pieces, but of course, there was no way.
The world was fair. Soon, the backlash against their words began to multiply.
First of all, let’s start with the chat window.
-Oh, my eyes seem a little weird… .
-me too.
– I was watching an actor who said he had a sense of inferiority because he couldn’t act emotionally… That’s complete nonsense. Is that a different person?
-Of course it is. I don’t know who it is, but it looks a lot like Kangmin… .
-There are many amazing martial arts in Asia! Kang is definitely a master of Bun-Shin-Sul!
-imao
-lol
-I saved the clip. “That’s really hard. To convey human emotions with just a few lines.”… Isn’t that amazing?
-Oh buddy, it’s not weird at all! It’s just that it’s hard for Kang to express his feelings with just a few lines of dialogue, so he just doesn’t use them!
-what a genius… .
-Are you a genius?
-KEKW
-I just smashed my 4K TV!
-F
-FFFFFFF
A torrent of ridicule mixed with all sorts of memes poured down.
The actors, who didn’t know what to do, ended up ending the show, but of course, it couldn’t end there.
The data, which was saved intact from beginning to end, was spread all over the place and became the subject of ridicule and mockery.
Naturally, the aftereffects didn’t stop at the actors’ broadcasts.
The 30-minute world war ended, and headwinds began to blow from all directions.
-knock, knock, knock… Is there a reporter? I have a question for you about the ‘violent one-tool actor’… .
-Run away XD
-What an amazing speed! The messages cursing the river are disappearing in an instant!
-Moses… .
-I’ve never seen a more polite scolding than the one Kang gave… When I said, ‘Can’t you guys do this?’, everyone’s faces turned red… .
-I would have kicked the blanket off too ;(
-Richard I drew his sword… .
-Apart from everything, that was some horrible acting!
-The audition atmosphere has become more relaxed now! I can look forward to it!
The effort WMA put into this ‘sniping’ was truly on a whole other level.
But everything, including the atmosphere on the scene and the world’s situation, was turned upside down in an instant.
That too, with just a few minutes of acting by one actor.
Naturally, the high-ranking WMA officials who had been toasting in advance could not help but be shocked.
“No, what is this….”
“What the heck? What the hell is going on?”
“What’s going on at the scene? He didn’t know about this situation?!”
“How do you do things!”
“Who is in charge!”
“I’m not on the scene!”
“So, who is responsible for that guy!”
It was an impossible task.
Most people expected that even if CAE revealed the truth, it would turn into a power struggle through a truth game, but they never thought that public opinion would turn around so unilaterally.
In particular, the backlash that would come in this situation was difficult to even imagine.
All the high-ranking officials threw away their dignity and started to squeal.
“Resign! Resign!”
“That’s not the problem! We need to fix this…!”
“I’ll take care of it, so resign first!”
“Speak nonsense!”
“I told you to calm down!”
“Why are you angry? Did you have a hand in it?!”
“What did this kid just say!”
Indeed, the South Korean military was a terrible place.
One tearful Choco Pie scene turned the show so violent that executives from foreign conglomerates would grab people by the collar and growl at them.
Even for Kang Min, it was inevitable that this would be an unexpected and terrifying side effect.
But, well, it wasn’t a conclusion yet.
They were the high-ranking people who had built the world’s best WMA, even though they were rotten. If everyone was squealing so loudly, there was still a good chance that they would come to their senses and come up with another trick.
But before that could happen, Kang Min, an evil evangelist from the Military Manpower Administration, moved to drive the wedge in.
More precisely, it was the servant, Seo Bom.
* * *
It was the tenth time that Seobom and Judith came on stage.
Seobom had a calm and composed expression, while Judith looked extremely tense – or perhaps terrified.
The WMA director who saw that prayed earnestly.
‘Ugh! I don’t know yet! If that crazy bitch runs wild again, I’ll be able to handle it somehow!’
“Hello. This is Seo Bom.”
“Oh, my name is Judith Leroy… .”
‘please!’
“Honestly, I was surprised that the last performance received more attention than I expected. Isn’t that right, Judith?”
“yes yes….”
‘please!’
“I received a lot of compliments and was grateful for the interest.”
“Yes, I really did… .”
‘hurry!’
“But, what should I say, so I think there were some strange rumors going around.”
“I, really! Wow, that’s completely untrue…!”
‘…?’
“Anyway, so this time I decided to try a different kind of acting with the same partner. I practiced a lot too.”
“Oh, and let’s dispel the rumors too….”
‘… … ?’
“That was a long introduction. What we’re going to act out today is love.”
“To be exact, they are a gay couple… .”
‘ah.’
An invincible script has appeared in the United States, the birthplace of PCism.
The pen fell out of the person in charge’s hand.
