The King of Death Smoke Episode 187

Everyone is a famous actor (1)

Wizton Entertainment’s manager, Chuyeonji, thought she was the most unfortunate person in the world.

It started off well.

When I went to see my boss, who said, “You’ve become a manager, so you should take on the role of an actor,” my heart raced and I saw a face like that, making it hard to understand why the role had fallen to me.

As Chuyeonji was dumbfounded, the actor looked up and met her eyes with his clear eyes.

And he bowed his head deeply.

-This is Seo Bom.

-Chu, this is Chuyeonji… .

More than the well-defined facial features, the mysterious and fleeting atmosphere that seemed to be looking into the distance made it impossible to take one’s eyes off of him.

When the chief asked if she wanted to go with Seo Bom, Chuyeonji nodded her head several times in shock. Thinking that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

It was the craziest thing I’ve ever done in my life.

-The spanner doesn’t fit your hand again? I told you, that was the most expensive one! It’s Swiss-made.

– Or what, you don’t like how I handled things last time? You couldn’t help it, even if the other person was the one who started the spat, your wording was so strong! If you bought sympathy votes first and buried the other person, that’s considered prevention!

– Or what else! You know that the best way to handle that bastard’s back of the head was with the overreaction of the security guards! It’s a good thing no one saw that!!

Surprisingly, what filled Seobom’s clear, transparent eyes was not vanity, but simply madness.

Every day was a continuation of war.

Chuyeon Ji shed tears after realizing that even women in their 30s can experience hair loss if they are stressed enough.

-Ahem, the head of the department gave you a generous bonus. You get paid more than me, the team leader?

-Then let’s change it! Let’s change the actor in charge, even if it’s for minimum wage!

-… Bring the receipt to the hair loss clinic. I’ll take care of the cost.

-This (censored)─!

So many years.

Finally, Chuyeonji was liberated.

The point is, you can think of Seobom as a kind of demon dog from hell, not a living being capable of communicating.

In tales from all over the world, aren’t there non-human monsters that pretend to be beauties and charm people? Just think of it as something like that.

Chuyeonji thought that it was not much different from reality.

In the first place, she wasn’t even sure if Seobom had the emotions of a normal person.

“Ugh… Ugh… .”

“…uh?”

“Ugh, ugh, euaaaang…!”

And─

That’s why Chuyeonji froze and couldn’t do anything when Seobom burst into tears backstage.

“Uh, that… huh?”

Chuyeonji stood there blankly.

It wasn’t the realm of acting.

No, it wasn’t even an adult’s domain.

Seobom cried like a child.

He clutched the floor and cried sadly, as if he was crying like a crow.

My mind went blank at the thought of something I had never even imagined in my life.

I didn’t know what to do, or even if what was happening in front of me was real.

The partner who was supporting Seobom scolded her in a low voice.

“What are you doing, Agent! You don’t need to be appeased!”

“No, that… what the heck is this… .”

“What are you doing!”

“Hey, why are you doing this in the first place! You’re definitely not the type of person to do this…! T-Tell me, did you do something?!”

“What the hell are you talking about! Even if you’re a crazy bitch, you’d cry if you were treated like that after confessing!!”

“……yes?”

Judith shook her head as she looked at the agent with a puzzled expression.

Judith had bad intentions and tried to use Kangmin, and Seobom tried to cut off Judith’s head. After Kangmin coolly forgave her, Seobom reluctantly put in a wrench, but that was it.

She and Seobom can never be on good terms.

‘But this isn’t it…!’

What just happened was horrific beyond all else.

This is the result of an actor and a woman hesitating for a long time and finally biting their lips to muster up the courage.

What kind of evil person in the world would say such an inconsiderate thing? Even a villain of the highest order would doubt his own eyes.

Even Darth Vader might express his bewilderment by saying, “Koho- this is a bit….”

“A, confession?! When on earth! There were times when I took my eyes off of it, but even so… Ah, the other person! Who is the other person? An actor?!”

“… … .”

Judith let out a long sigh as she realized that the agent wasn’t helping her one bit.

She squatted down and met Seobom’s eyes, her voice hoarse and tearful.

“I know a good place. Let’s go have a drink and cool off.”

“Ugh… Ugh… .”

“You’re not going to give up here. Then you can’t keep doing this. You’re going to have to show that evil Mr. Kang an example in the third audition.”

“Black….”

“Wait a minute, Baryo? No place with a weird atmosphere! Spring’s image management─”

“That’s not it, so keep quiet… Are you going?”

Seobom nodded her head and said, “Yes,” as she asked again while wiping away tears.

A friendship was formed that was so strangely unimaginable from their first meeting.

And by the way, these weren’t the only ones who staked their fate on the 3rd audition.

* * *

It is often said that the laws of public opinion manipulation through the Internet can be reduced to two things.

First, agitation is easier than you think.

Two, it is easy to flip over more than that.

Suspicion of violence in the audition itself,

Suspected feud between Seobom and Judith Leroy,

Above all, there is doubt about Kang Min’s suitability as a planner─

Three key points that the WMA was confident it would never be able to explain were tied up and blown away in a matter of minutes.

The resulting backlash was three times more terrifying than Director Dusk had anticipated.

Even in far-off Korea, ridicule spread.

-What kind of violence is there in auditions, then? And what about the rumors of discord between actors Seo Bom and Juris???

└Violence (Choco Pie)

└Discord (confession of love)

└Anyway, you’re violent, right?ㅋㅋㅋ

-But America is really fucked up right now; no matter how you look at it, it’s an organized diss, and all sorts of suspicions are popping up here and there… Those who openly showed their faces and used strong language are all being dragged out and beaten up.

└It’s a bit suspicious

└It’ll get buried anyway… .

└This time it will be hard? There was even news that the slander against Kang Min was organized. There was also talk of a big company behind it, and since it was entangled with racial discrimination from the beginning, it doesn’t seem like it will die down easily.

└Honestly, Seo Bom spread false rumors on purpose.

└Really, an actor known for being kind is getting the image of a crazy bitch just because she acted once? You’re saying she didn’t do the bare minimum of research?

-But Seo Bom’s second confession scene was really creepy… I felt possessed even though there wasn’t a single provocative scene.

-Really

-The potential is really exploding. They can do that kind of love acting, but what have domestic PDs been doing all this time?

-I thought the acting that Kang Min showed for a little while was more creepy. I had a dream that he re-enlisted that day.

└Me too lol

└Really lol

└A truly crazy level of reproducibility… .

└In the US, everyone is saying that his acting is amazing, but in Korea, everyone is saying trauma ON, which is really funny.

└The CBC interview was funnier lol “How were you able to act like that?” “I had experience” “?”

└Oh my gosh lol

└The hooks are really pouring out in response to the American communityㅋㅋㅋㅋ

one.

If there had been even one thing to cling to, WMA would have been able to get away.

But Kang Min’s Choco Pie acting was unnecessarily great, Seo Bom’s confession was (literally) the acting of a lifetime, and the other contestants who were excited by it were all obsessed with the deep emotional line.

As if mocking the experts who predicted that the number of viewers would decrease compared to the first audition, the second audition once again soared and broke the highest viewership ratings. The reaction online was now close to a social phenomenon.

In that situation, I poured out a lot of disses, but they were all in vain, so how could there not be a backlash?

Critics, influencers, and actors who confidently stepped forward, relying only on their backs, soon found themselves exposed to a terrible crossfire.

-Not a single one is correct… Isn’t it very simultaneous for all these nonsense to come out?

-Suspicious… Very suspicious… .

-Oh, I’m the one who’s suspicious! I’m very suspicious!

-Why aren’t you saying anything?

-Calm down, guys. Of course I’m preparing to show off my emotional acting skills, which is even better than the river!

-I see! I lacked trust!

-lol

“Ugh… .”

“If you hold on, it will pass. Just hang in there.”

“Yeah, I guess so… .”

They tried to act cool, but this time they were being stupid. After all, this kind of sarcasm in America is a very respectable kind of thing.

The countries participating in who heard the news acted a little less gentle. They shared the source of the rumor and started to use a translator to blatantly swear at each other.

His YouTube subscriptions were cut in half, his articles were filled with international swear words, and his guest appearances on programs were met with protests. At this point, everyone was on the verge of being socially ostracized.

Frightened defectors began to come out one by one.

“I, I’m sorry… I just wrote it down without thinking about it…”

-That’s nonsense again.

-So who gave the order?

-If you can’t figure it out, it’s meaningless.

“That’s, that…”

Even if it rots, it is better to have a tooth cleaned up. WMA quickly moved to clean up the situation by hanging the person in charge.

It was a neat response, but it wasn’t enough.

Actors who were under contract immediately began to feel uneasy. They all live off their image, so wouldn’t it be unfair if they were tied down to a wholesale fee because of an agency that wasn’t their fault?

Hemp doesn’t die.

But there was nothing that could be done about the huge house gradually cracking and water leaking through the cracks.

And the extent of the cracking was beyond imagination.

“Ugh, if things continue like this, it’s not a question of catching up with CAE or not! We won’t even be able to keep our spot in the Big 3!”

“How on earth did you get yourself into this situation?! This is all just a stupid audition that you’re trying to screw up?!”

“It wasn’t just an audition! It was the core of our overseas competition with CAE!”

“Damn, who knew that guy River could eat pie like that back there!”

“We were the ones who first spit on that river! Who is the author who couldn’t do that properly and then opened his eyes to CAE and got robbed?!”

“What’s the point of looking it up now! I thought it would be better to just not eat it in the first place! If only they had given us a proper budget back then…!”

“You’re the one who dragged that stupid Hopper Dusk guy in! Shut up!”

It was literally chaos.

It was inevitable that the shock would be greater when something I thought would be easier than twisting a child’s hand was turned around and I got hit in the face rather than something I thought would be difficult.

Everyone was confused.

As a result, an extreme measure close to a last-ditch effort was taken.

“No matter what, we have to get our shit together on that damn audition. It can’t be that you’re unconditionally good and this is unconditionally evil. But they have their shady side too. We have to go that far to fix it.”

“yes.”

“I agree.”

“That damn audition is the third and final round, right?”

“Yes. There will also be ‘invited’ actors like Aislinn Lewis and the Sticks sisters. It will be on a different level.”

“In other words, once something happens, it can’t be handled.”

It was no longer a joke. The WMA high-ups looked at each other and nodded.

“It won’t work with just any method.”

“Then wouldn’t it be enough to just use some extraordinary method?”

“That’s right.”

Their eyes were all bloodshot. A sinister smile escaped them.

Even a cornered rat will bite a cat, so what about a cornered lion? They were determined to show CAE and Kangmin, who were celebrating with their guard down, a solid example.

… But, there was one problem that made such determination seem meaningless.

It turned out that they weren’t the only ones who tried to use unusual techniques in the third audition.

“Mr. Kang, that guy won’t be able to do it with just any trick! I need to show him a proper example!”

In a small bar, Judith Leroy was giving a passionate speech to the tear-stained Seo Bom.

“… … .”

“… … .”

“That, Acey?”

“… Yeah, well. I knew he wasn’t someone that could be defeated with just any method.”

“That doesn’t seem like an easy method.”

Inside the relatively modest mansion, given her fame as an actress, Aislinn Lewis muttered under her breath.

“Ahem, what is that… Finnegan?”

“… … .”

“Joya?”

“… … .”

“Well, um, Jacob and I, we were like, that guy’s a little, uh, I don’t think he did it on purpose… .”

Inside the Actors Studio faculty office, Finnegan Sticks and Zoya Sticks looked at each other and nodded simultaneously, ignoring the professors who were frantically trying to distract them.

The final third audition is starting to get a lot of attention.

It was around the time when the high-ranking officials of WMA were reciting flag-filled lines like, “This time, you won’t be able to get away with it, Kang Min!” and “We’ll show you the true power of our WMA!”
