The King of Death Smoke Episode 188

Everyone is a famous actor (2)

The final stage of the audition received cheers from all participating countries as soon as it was announced.

It was such a break from the norm.

Countries that were immediately at the center and distance of world culture began to get excited and run wild.

-So, you’re saying that in the last audition, you’re making a real movie?!

-Yes! Each participant team will be provided with a film crew, an editing team, and a script writer team! The results will be judged in a film festival-like manner!

-I heard that it will be aired as an official one-act drama on CBC?

-oh my god…!

-Finally, an actor from Terengganu is advancing to the United States!

-Just call it Malaysia? Just you guys?

-Stop fighting… .

It was a plan on a level that most broadcasting companies would not even dare to think about.

There were about 40 actors who advanced to the third round, and even if we minimized the number of people we could add, we still needed at least 15 people per team for camera, lighting, editing, etc. This also assumed that they were sufficiently skilled.

In other words, CBC was prepared to invest more than 500 skilled staff members and the budget for this third competition, even if it did not make it.

Some pundits sneered at him for being too confident and boastful, but they were all soon forced to dive in.

Well, all of CBC’s partners this time were trustworthy.

“Hmm, our agency may be able to support the writing staff. We are currently recruiting applicants.”

“Oh, trust our S&W staff too! They’re all so motivated!”

“Huh… In that case, I, Henry Pyen, will gladly apply as a staff member!”

“Isn’t this manipulation…?”

As the actors who advanced to the third round were thrilled and motivated by this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the staff’s application forms also piled up in huge numbers.

Even if I couldn’t do it, I would be able to prove my skills, and if I was lucky, I might even be able to connect with a future star. There was no reason not to do it.

Needless to say, this once again charged the nationalism of the participating countries to a lethal dose.

-The world wants Vietnam!

-Following K-POP, V-POP will take over the world!

But, well, this pride often met with rivals.

-(Staff list searched for ‘Interested in Rawit Thanat’)

-There are more ties?

-I guess Vietnamese people can’t count…

-Why is the song playing in the first place?

Naturally, when something like this happens, it becomes a battlefield, whether online or offline.

I thought the actors were fighting less, but then more fighting broke out in their home country.

There were curses on the internet and fist fights in bars. Kang Min’s wish to just pretend to die made good people violent enough to make them go away like soccer hooligans.

What’s worse than Kang Min’s evil is that the basis for deciding the match is becoming increasingly strange.

First of all, Thai people started to put forward this argument at some point.

-(Photo of Kang Min clapping his hands and pressing 9 points)

-Just by looking at the audition host’s reaction, can’t you tell who’s better?

-If you have eyes, you can’t not know!

-‘Pie Master’, how many points did you give Hu Yanlin? 8 points? Good job!

And then the Vietnamese started responding like this.

-(Photo of Kang Min introducing Hu Yanlin to Penelope Olsen)

-Isn’t it true that you have to recognize an actor to know him?

-Just by looking at their attitudes, it’s obvious who they value more?

There is an anecdote about Marlon Brando, a legend in the acting world. He said that he thoughtlessly praised two close juniors as being “magnificent” and “splendid,” but the two of them grabbed each other by the collar and fought over which adjective was better, “magnificent” or “splendid.”

It’s just a rumor that doesn’t have much credibility, but unfortunately that’s the current situation.

Kang Min, who was already recognized for the success of and as the host of , began to receive even more unnecessary high praise due to a heartwarming anecdote between Choco Pie and Seo Bom that was as heartbreaking as ant tears.

-Korean netizens looked for old interviews and it seems that Seo Bom received terrible reviews as an actress… .

-What? The tenth?

-That’s ridiculous… .

-You’re saying that a few years ago, everyone thought the opposite. Except for one person.

-A person like that would be able to do something so absurd as going to America and becoming successful!

At this point, there was no turning back.

The two countries now began to fight over which actor Kang Min-i rated better.

One YouTuber even flew in and attacked Kang Min after he finished filming after four days of lying in wait.

“Chilmun is written! Rawit Thanat, our Thai actor, what do you think?”

“Hmm? Of course I think he’s a really great actor… By the way, you speak Korean well.”

“Thank you!”

The YouTuber returned to Thailand to great acclaim and earned a ton of views, and therefore money.

Naturally, Vietnamese YouTubers were also amazed by the money.

“I’m from Vietnam! Huyen Linh! Do you love me?”

“Uh, um, I think he’s an actor I can learn a lot from….”

“Oh!”

Although there were some translation errors, they were cheered upon their return to their home country.

This Thailand-Vietnam situation has been repeated all over the world.

Furthermore, Kang Min’s thoughtless remark, “You speak Korean well,” even caused unnecessary controversy.

The results were truly horrific.

At some point, wherever Kangmin went, Korean speakers with strange tones began to appear.

“How can you be so frightened behind the scenes!”

“Please give it to me!”

“Please let me know!”

“Which actor do you think is cool?!”

“Truly wisdom!”

“… … .”

Naturally, Kang Min was at a loss.

The plan that started out as a way to create my own without any set plan has been going in a very strange direction, and now I’m being treated like a great actor!

How on earth did things turn out like this!

He went to Penelope and sighed.

“This is weird! Who the hell would I be to rank actors who have more experience than me!”

“… … .”

“Oh my god, I don’t know how things turned out like this… .”

“… … .”

“?”

Penelope said nothing, still looking at the incombustible trash.

Kang Min returned home with a bitter heart and drank beer alone in his hotel room.

‘Oh, well, well. It all passes…’

Once the alcohol took effect, psychological stability returned.

The plan went a little awry.

It seemed like it had lost just a little bit of its flavor.

But, isn’t it the result that is important, not the process?

‘The important thing is that I am now one step away from achieving my goal!’

Kang Min clenched his fist.

That was it. His purpose had never changed since he discovered how to control his inexplicable nightmares.

I had come back quite a bit, and somehow the country had changed a bit too─ but that was only one step away.

.

What he had been desperately hoping for since the days of , more than two years ago, was finally about to fall into his hands.

‘Okay. If I just get past the third time…’

Kangmin’s eyes sparkled.

‘If I can get through the remaining 3 stages without any problems, my wish will be achieved…!’

As always, it was a truly wonderful order.

“We have to do something about the third one somehow!”

“I agree.”

The third round of received a huge response.

Naturally, the first one to find a hole to dig into was WMA, which was plotting to somehow screw over Kang Min.

One of the directors frowned and stroked his chin.

“So, you’re saying you’re going to form an independent team and create about 40 one-act plays…?”

“It seems that actors are allowed to join forces to take on lead roles. It’s advantageous for male and female leads to stick together, so there will probably be around a dozen in reality.”

“hmm….”

“Do you have any good ideas?”

“No… good idea or not, isn’t this too easy to manipulate?”

“… … .”

“… … .”

Silence fell.

Everyone’s eyes met.

Because that was so true.

No, isn’t it actually harder for the one getting caught?

“So, the actors have full control? Basically, CBC provides the film crew, but they can also hire people they like, and they can use extras as they please….”

“There are limits.”

“If you don’t get caught, that’s the end of it.”

“but….”

“Why don’t we just secretly approach actors who are likely to come to us and help them win? In return, we’ll spit on them…”

“When the broadcasting station announces the winner in a big way, we intercept it, and at worst, we expose the corruption… CAE and that guy Kang become dogs chasing chickens?”

“yes.”

“Wouldn’t that be okay?”

“I can definitely turn this situation around!”

It was a senseless sloppiness.

How can there be no loopholes in a situation where hundreds of people and millions of dollars are moving in just a few weeks? In a project of this scale, it is a situation where even just getting it going would make the producers pull out their hair.

Even the ‘contract restriction’ clause, which would normally be included in an audition, could not be introduced because the actors and their agencies from each country were entangled.

An obvious loophole.

And, if it’s the size of a WMA, you can do anything if you have that kind of gap.

A conspiracy began to form.

“We secretly hand over the script to the actors we hired. The rough drafts written by the participants and the drafts written by professional scriptwriters are on a completely different level.”

“How about giving us some extras? It would make the play more lively.”

“Editing above all! If you just clean up the main elements here, the other contestants will look like amateurs!”

After a long marathon meeting, they all locked eyes.

And then he nodded with confidence.

This is different from before. This can’t fail.

How can a single participant oppose something that a mega agency has decided and is pushing forward?

The job was so simple!

“Huh, this time it’ll be different!”

“That guy named Kang Min, this time I’m going to see you cry!”

“Just hold on for now!”

Everyone was very motivated.

They all thought that this time was different, that they had been given a chance to live.

But there was a problem.

It turned out that they weren’t the only ones who were tempted to use this vile and deadly trick.

Those who were quick to do so were already aware of the gravity of the situation from the moment Seobom was dragged out, her mind blank.

‘That thing of Seo Bom-ssi… is it human…?’

‘It won’t work with just any method.’

‘We need a breakthrough.’ ‘Agreed.’

Of course, such people would not have rushed in naked.

By the time the WMA had barely finished exchanging opinions, they were already moving at full speed.

“Please help me, Professor Jacob.” “Please help me, Professor Kevin.”

“… That, Finnegan? Zoya? That’s a bit much.”

“I told you that your skills were enough! We don’t know why you’re doing this!”

“… … .” “… … .”

“Oh my, is there anything that can be solved by kneeling…?”

“Hey, wake up! Head! Don’t move your head!”

“Will you help me?” “Will you look after me?”

“No, that’s….”

“… … .” “… … .”

“Ah, I got it! I got it, so stop it!”

At the Actors Studio, Professor Jacob and Professor Kevin were sweating profusely as they were slapped by twins who were performing what they couldn’t tell was a Korean bow or a Japanese dogeza.

Actors Studio legends Jacob Fisher and Kevin Moore have been confirmed to join the cast.

“Please help me, Lord Bennet.”

“It’s been a while, Miss Aislinn Lewis. I should have known it was you on stage.”

“…help.”

“Huh, what on earth is this old theater owner Patrick Bennett doing? That damn Quixote doesn’t seem all that interested in this, does he? After all I’ve done to promote him.”

“……please.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

“… Phew, I guess I haven’t really fallen in love with him. When I saw the stage of that actor, Seo Bom, he really was a damned bastard.”

“I can’t help it. Min is so cool.”

“Go get tested. Phew… Well, I guess you guys owe me a debt as a theater owner.”

The participation of two gentlemen of Broadway, Sir Patrick Bennett and Sir Arthur Reed, has also been confirmed.

“help….”

“Of course I will, Bom!”

“yes…?”

“I saw the video too! There shouldn’t be another guy like that! You should have a conscience! Who on earth wants to be younger than you!!”

“Author…!”

For some reason, the participation of writer Yoo Ji-ah, a legend in the Korean drama industry who is always angry, has also been confirmed.

These evil villains ran around everywhere, gathering more and more talent.

Lineups began to form in various places.

It was a lineup of big shots that were not only vile but even dirty.

And WMA was still laughing.

“We’ve managed to attract as many as three participants!”

“Hahaha, perfect!”

“No one will notice our WMA’s secret activities!”

“Isn’t this too easy?”

“That’s right!”

“Hahaha!”

“ha ha ha!”

The final audition began with the laughter of those who had no idea about the situation.
