Lord Of Dying Smoke - Chapter 190



Only Noblemtl

The King of Death Smoke Episode 190

Everyone is a famous actor (4)

Penelope’s eyes have been like those of incombustible trash whenever she meets Kangmin lately.

As Kangmin, who didn’t even know the reason, he couldn’t help but feel wronged.

But if Kang Min-do had looked into the eyes of Patrick Bennett, the owner of an off-Broadway theater, he might have wondered if he had done something wrong.

Well, these eyes looked like they had seen radioactive waste.

“You know what, Louis? The best actors have always been trash in their private lives. Marlon Brando was a slut, Dennis Hopper was worse, Clark Gable had an extramarital affair, Spencer Tracy had dozens of affairs while married. They were all just trash. What can you do, Americans have no sense of decency?”

The Broadway gentleman, who had tried hard to keep a cool tone, eventually could not stop his speech from becoming harsh.

“But, my God! Wouldn’t those authors have more humanity than that guy, Kang?”

Kang Min has appeared on the stage of Patrick Bennett’s theater with Aislin only once.

Don Quixote at that time was a mess.

But inside, there was a power that shook the hearts of theatre owners who were once legendary actors in London’s West End.

‘The stage is awkward. The skills are lacking. If you try to find a flaw, you won’t be able to find one.’

‘But still, it sucks in the gaze… .’

‘Is this youth?’

Kang Min’s relatively polite attitude also increased Lord Bennet’s evaluation of him.

The title of “The Two Gentlemen of Broadway” given to Lord Bennet and his friend was at first a derogatory term, a mocking way of saying, “You noble gentlemen, pack your bags, for you can’t survive in a place like this.”

Decades later, its meaning has changed to an honorific, but that doesn’t mean that this world, which is passionate to put it nicely and the animal kingdom to put it badly, has changed.

For Lord Bennet, who had been ordering the audience to such a place, a young man from the East was quite worthy of his attention.

… Well, that was all before I saw Seobom’s ‘that’.

“What kind of guys are these!”

Lord Bennet slammed the table.

If you look closely, there is even a little moisture around the eyes.

“It was a beautiful story! Like the River Tain on Dartmoor! What difference is there between a stream that flows from a waterfall and a small stream that no one even knows exists! The relationship between people is beautiful, it can be beautiful… It can be so even if you don’t bite and suck like an animal just because you made eye contact in the dressing room!”

“A happy ending would be okay! Even if it ends with a bad ending, it wouldn’t be a bad story if they part ways while wishing each other a good ending! Anything would be okay! That’s life!”

“But this was a problem before that…!”

At the moment when Seobom on the screen asked, “… … yes?” with a blank expression, the dignity of Patrick Bennett and his friend Sir Arthur Reed was also shattered.

The two of them, who were excitedly looking at the screen, slurped down their wine in shock.

When something sparkled in Seobom’s eyes as she finally entered the stage, she even forgot about her manners and started swearing.

How can that be?

How can a human be like that!

This is literally a piece of trash…!

And then, Aislin listened quietly to Sir Patrick Bennet’s sobbing words and muttered.

“I think it doesn’t suit us since we’ve all left.”

“Huh, there seems to be a bit of a difference in interpretation between us!”

“… … .”

The old Lord Bennet did not change his obsession with Kang Min-Seo Bom’s marriage. However, as an actor, he behaved reasonably.

Like all theater and musical actors in the world, he found movies and TV shows shallow and pathetic.

However, if anything, Aislin is a pureblood in the theater world.

Moreover, her teacher was Patrick Bennett, so the old man in front of her could be considered her great teacher in terms of genealogy.

“I heard, Louis, why you went to Hollywood. You needed money.”

“yes.”

“What a shame! If I had known you back then, I would have gladly paid the money or kicked Megan Lewis out. I guess he didn’t have an eye for talent.”

“…Megan.”

“Oh, you just gave a terrible performance and became a household name on Broadway. Do you need a video?”

Aislin shook her head silently. She had resented her cousin so much, but now she felt better about it.

Lord Bennet nodded nonchalantly.

“Isn’t that what you’re asking me to do, Louis? To make something that surpasses Miss Spring’s.”

“… That’s right.”

“It’s impossible.”

Lord Bennet said nonchalantly.

“Oh, don’t even think about it. It’s not a question of ability. It’s not even a question of budget. It’s just the difference between truth and fiction.”

“… … .”

“Isn’t acting a job to deceive fiction into truth? It’s absurd to bring the real thing into it, but what can you do? There’s no way you could win in the first place.”

Aislinn was silent.

There was no way she didn’t feel something on that stage.

In the past, when she was in Korea for a short time, she exchanged contact information with a few people. One of them was a long-time friend of Kang-min’s, having known him since their academy days. It was obvious that she had a strong interest in him, but it seemed like she had no intention of putting it into practice.

When asked why, he hesitated and then muttered, “Because there’s spring.”

It seems that the tone of voice that was lacking in energy wasn’t just a result of fear of Seobom’s violence.

Well, who knows that and would be able to come forward with confidence?

“Besides, the format is a movie. Aren’t other factors more important than the actor’s ability? I don’t think I can really help with that.”

“… Yes. Thank you for the advice.”

Aislin bowed her head.

It’s a bit annoying to come here after throwing away all my pride and everything and then hearing such nonsense, but what can I do? I can’t think of a solution myself, so I came here to grab at straws.

She stood up weakly.

But Lord Bennet wasn’t done yet.

“I didn’t say there was no way.”

“yes?”

“Wouldn’t it be different if it were a play? That’s purely the realm of the actor. And.”

“and?”

“If the other person has deceived you with his story, you have no choice but to do the same.”

“… … What did you say?”

The answer that Lord Bennett came up with was a one-man show.

A play of the highest difficulty that has never changed in the history of theater, which has been performed countless times.

The realm of stunts where one performs the entire stage alone, without a single partner.

Unlike a monodrama that even includes a choir or external effects, this is a one-man show where the actor throws himself into the action with his bare body.

Even that is what is meant by telling the story of one’s life.

Aislinn was dumbfounded.

“Didn’t you ask me to tell you how to win? That’s all I can think of.”

“… … .”

“You don’t have to tell everything honestly. That’s not what a play is. Just as the starry night that was everything in Miss Spring’s life was nothing to that rotten man’s eyes, everything can be embellished according to your perspective. Isn’t that a play?”

“… Don’t curse too much. There are many good things about it.”

“You’re such a son of a bitch.”

“… … .”

Aislinn was troubled.

I couldn’t come up with an answer on the spot, so I went home and thought about it for a while longer.

But eventually, I came to a conclusion.

“Okay, I guess so. I’ll be happy to help.”

“thank you.”

“Hmm, yes. Your life story has been full of twists and turns. What do you plan to show? I recommend the story of your dead brother, although it will be difficult. It is the subject that is most reluctant to be told that produces masterpieces.”

“… There are also some things I am reluctant to do.”

“Huh, what is that?”

“My first love.”

“… … ?”

“My first love right now.”

uh….

that….

Lord Bennet was momentarily speechless.

It was such a rare occurrence that anyone who knew him even a little bit was speechless when they saw it.

But there was no way.

The actor’s eyes in front of me were that earnest.

It was filled with the desperation to never give up.

“You said you would help me… .”

“… … .”

Lord Bennet was beginning to admire Kang Min’s trashiness.

[Everyone has a few turning points in their lives.]

[It was the same for me. I never even imagined myself like this.]

[But I think the most important crossroads is now.]

It’s not easy to get into a one-man show.

This is especially true if you also do the narration yourself.

But, well, Lord Bennet’s advice was so sure.

[It’s nice to hear that it was a time like Jeonwon-si, but a child’s struggle is no less than that of an older person.]

[Suzy, my dad is not a retard.]

[When I say you’re a cripple, I mean your freckles are like pockmarks.]

[Okay. Let’s go to the stream. Do you think I can’t cross it?]

Just 3 minutes.

Meanwhile, Aislinn Lewis played the younger version of Aislinn Lewis.

No one could laugh at the memories and emotions that a first-class actor calmly expressed.

Even just the fragments that flowed out as they were edited were enough to keep the audience’s eyes wide open and focused.

[At the very end, I had no choice but to admit it.]

[I couldn’t help but be convinced.]

[This person is the last thing given to me who has lost everything.]

The expression was not exaggerated.

He seemed calm, awkward, and even a little shy.

And that was enough.

The audience was barely coming to their senses and was chattering.

The judges blinked in surprise.

And then, Aisha Kaya was out of her mind.

‘It’s real again!!’

She looked like she was going to turn away.

‘What the heck! What the hell is America!? Does everyone just have someone to confess to?! If you just say you want to, something appears out of thin air?!’

‘No, everyone else is leaving, so how can someone like Seo Bom or Louis experience unrequited love! It doesn’t make sense! If you just proudly hold your chin up, everything will be solved!!’

One psychological theory says that humans are creatures who desire stories at the instinctual level.

From the primitive era, exchanging information for survival and overlapping oneself with someone gradually developed into ’empathy’, and that empathy expanded and evolved from the individual unit to the social unit, and as a result, it became impossible to tolerate ‘Cheolsu asked Yeonghee out on a date? This is driving me crazy! Please tell me the story!’

Regardless of its credibility, there were murmurs coming from all over the place.

People couldn’t stand this story.

Aisha Kaya’s masterpiece of conversion was forgotten in an instant.

‘what’s this…!’

But this wasn’t the end.

Teaser videos of Finnegan Styx and Zoya Styx, who will soon be taking separate exams, have been revealed.

It was a somewhat strange twist on Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Dr. Jekyll’s personality was split into twins, and the twins, who were fighting for their lives, reconciled through a strange man.

But regardless of the interest in the content, Aishe couldn’t help but open her mouth again.

‘Confession?? Again??’

‘No, wait a minute, this is weird! This is extremely weird! That innocence is definitely mixed with some sincerity!’

‘Nobody knows this?’

And of course, that wasn’t the end of it.

A teaser video of Seo Bom gritting her teeth and filming the scene has been released.

Aishe thought blankly.

‘Space battleship…?’

Inside, Seobom was now dressed up as an alien and preparing to confess.

Of course, I was sincere.

Aisha’s head started to spin.

“hmm.”

At the same time that Aisha fell,

Kang Min, sitting on the judges’ podium, muttered in admiration.

‘They are all really great actors. I never thought they would be so realistic. They all seem ten times better than me.’

-… … .

‘I’m glad that great works have come out until the end. Doesn’t it seem like the world is blessing the beginning of my ?’

-… … .

The ghost began to worry that if he killed Kangmin now, angels would come out to greet him with a standing ovation.

But Kang Min’s optimistic joy was completely off the mark.

Well, the higher-ups were thinking something completely different after seeing these amazing trailers.

“Hmm… These are all great, but don’t you think it’s a waste to use them as a trivial one-act play?”

“I think I can combine them all…?”

It was an opinion closer to that of a devil from hell, let alone an angel.
