The King of Death Smoke Episode 191

A second masterpiece and a $400 million love affair

The world felt like the end of the year was drawing near.

Kang Min’s Richard I figure, which was barely in stock recently, is once again suffering from a shortage of stock with the addition of the RPG-7 and the anti-aircraft missile Stinger, as well as the anti-tank rocket Javelin parts.

Separately, a newly created Reddit message board was raging with debate over whether the FGM-148 Javelin was truly fit for Richard I.

-No, not the Javelin! That’s a deadly infrared guided weapon!

-I agree. A true man must deal with everything with an analog scale and a yardstick. This is a completely wrong interpretation of Richard I in the movie.

-The stinger was used so well in the movie… .

-That’s okay, buddy. That helicopter was worth it 😛

The reason why such a useless topic came up was simple.

Apart from the excitement of the audition itself, or the WMA’s silence while being attacked from all sides, guessing the winner was not at all interesting.

Well, that’s because one person’s name was so valuable.

-I think Aislinn Lewis will win.

-yes

-Isn’t that too naive? There might be better actors among those from all over the world!

-If you’re that good, you should just stay here… .

-Honestly, I should have prevented Louis from participating. It wasn’t like twisting a child’s wrist 🙁

It’s true that the difference in reputation was too great to be called Hollywood supremacy.

To be honest, I think the production team also set up the recorded evaluation separately from the stage evaluation.

Most people already thought the outcome was obvious.

Of course, that was until Seobom showed something.

-oh….

-oh my god….

The bulletin board was plunged into silence.

It was an emotional line that was too different to be passed over to the realm of acting.

Even that actor was the one who had rumors of discord because of his psychopathic acting in the first episode. What actor in the world can perfectly pull off such different faces?

The bulletin board was ablaze with talk of figures as if nothing had happened.

-Oh my goodness, anyone can see that Spring is the winner!

-I agree. I was entranced by it even though it wasn’t my taste at all! It’s on a whole other level!

-Don’t exaggerate too much. No matter what, Louis is no match.

-Aislinn Lewis beat that? Has she ever shown anything like that?

└Vulcan Series Part 6

└What? That piece of crap???

└It was a good performance considering the absence of both the director and the writer! It was nothing compared to Part 8!

└Yeah, that’s a total flop

└your axx

-You have to give it your all. Has Louis ever had this much of an impact in his long career?

-It’s just that that role didn’t come to me?

-Oh, I see… .

-If you knew Louis from his stage acting days, you would know how much bullshit you are talking about. How pathetic!

└noob

└fxxxing noob

└Calm down… .

-If Spring gets the stage on the B line, she’ll win! Bomb!

└… … .

└Oh my god… .

└I have one question, why are you alive?

Seo Bom’s popularity hits an all-time high every day.

The rumors that were going around disappeared without a trace, and even the bad reviews that said that you couldn’t tell what was on his mind because his expressionless face was blank were instantly overturned by the small tears he shed at the end of the second audition.

Comments were posted one after another saying they were impressed by the gap that was close to a reversal of charm.

In fact, at that time, Seo Bom had feelings that were the exact opposite of touching, but who knows?

The polls only confirmed that Seo Bom had emerged as a strong contender for Aislinn Lewis.

This trend grew even bigger when the teaser video for the third audition was finally released.

Conflicts arose everywhere, as if they had clicked their tongues when they saw that the outcome was obvious.

– As expected of Louis! A one-man show, an ordinary actor can’t even imitate it! In the first place, there’s only one person who can match the river!

-What the hell are you talking about? A space battleship! A space battleship hasn’t lost a battle since 12 years ago!

There was an exception, however.

The few decent humans who got in there, instead of fighting, just threw up the food they were eating.

Only a very few sane people noticed the crazy situation in the audition room.

There were only a very small number of people with the ability to see through what Seobom and Aislin were thinking when they came up with something like that.

And they all suffered great tragedies.

“Pfft!”

Director Hong Ji-ho of Korea spit out the cafe latte he was drinking.

“Coolook…! Coolook coolook…!”

Director Cheon Man and PD, who were two days away from airing the new , were rolling around on the floor after hearing a rumor.

“Aren’t these guys really crazy…?”

Actress Yoo Ji-yu, who unfortunately suffered defeat in the second round, opened her mouth without even having time to feel frustrated.

“Trash.”

Penelope Olsen’s crayfish eyes were as usual.

“… So what you’re saying is that Seobom and Aislinn Lewis were, um, courting each other? And you used that in the video?”

“That’s right! It’s because it’s Hopper Dusk! It’s so horrible! They don’t even look like actors!”

“… I think you might need more specialized treatment.”

“Huh? What did you say?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

While the famous detective was in a life-threatening situation where he was taken to a mental hospital, everyone else was left with no clue.

No, really?

Over there?

People all over the world are watching?

Have you gone crazy?

“… First of all, Bomi isn’t crazy. She submitted her test results. No matter how you look at them, they’re obviously manipulated to look ordinary.”

“Director Hong? Why are you suddenly like this?”

“No, it’s just like that.”

South Korea’s Hong Ji-ho somehow managed to overcome the embarrassment.

‘Well, okay… whatever it is, as long as the acting is good, that’s all that matters… .’

Back when hadn’t even been released, Seo Bom signed a contract with Webflix, despite all the odds, saying she needed to build up her name recognition overseas in advance. Everyone thought she was crazy.

But in the end, Seobom’s blindness was right.

As a second-year actor, Kang Min achieved unprecedented success, not only in Korea but also in the world, and Seo Bom artistically seized the opportunity that Kang Min created.

As a teacher who taught both of them, and as a senior who was called a Hallyu actor, I couldn’t help but be moved by the result, and it made me feel proud as a Korean─

“No, for Christ’s sake! No matter what, that’s not it!!”

Hong Ji-ho failed to pack and was left clutching his head.

Pride? Pride in a guillotine match over one man in a world-class audition?!

If you were holding a spanner when you met them, wouldn’t it be on the level of a soap opera that would appear on or ?

But unlike the headmaster who was pulling out his hair, Vice-headmaster Yoo Myung-woo looked relatively relaxed.

“Please calm down, Director. It will be okay.”

“No, on what basis?”

“Bomi acts like she’s perfectly normal in front of Min. No matter what, she won’t cross the line.”

“Well… that’s true, but… .”

Director Hong Ji-ho could not help but agree with those words. For better or worse, it was his unique patience that made Seobom what it is today.

If you take that into account, it might be okay.

The second audition was a bit like that, but I think it was the first time I’ve ever seen Bomi cry like that, and when I saw the scene that just happened, her eyes seemed to be filled with venom… .

“Anyway, you don’t have to take it too seriously. In the first place, there’s no reason for Bom and Louis to meet. They’ll just film while gritting their teeth, and that’ll make for a better piece.”

“I guess so… .”

“That’s right. So stop being so arrogant and prepare for the reporters who will barge in. One of my disciples is trying to step into the world of education, and another is trying to follow him. If the person who taught him does that, what kind of rumors will spread?”

“Hmm….”

Of course, it would be a nuisance to the students if a bad rumor spread because a picture was taken at an odd angle here.

Director Hong Ji-ho immediately relaxed his expression.

He arched his eyebrows, stretched the corners of his mouth, and relaxed his cheeks, creating a smirking expression.

For him, who was once called a legendary actor, managing his facial expressions to this extent was easy.

‘Well, since Min-i has gone that far, it might be a good idea to ask our former representative for help. Of course, he’s keeping an eye on him, but it’d be better if I were present.’

To be exact, it was an easy task.

The reason it’s in the past tense is because one of the judges in the broadcast video opened his mouth at that time.

“… It’s difficult.”

“Yes, it’s difficult.”

While Kangmin was delighted and Penelope was wide awake, the remaining thirteen judges were troubled.

They are all well-known figures in the broadcasting and film industries.

But this time, I couldn’t help but have a hard time making a judgment.

“Miss Lewis is truly amazing. A one-man show on video. It’s rare for someone to succeed outside the theater stage, not since Charlie Chaplin. And yet─”

“Yes, I don’t know how you achieved such perfection.”

“If we’re going to be that picky, Seo Bom was also great. It’s probably an homage to the early works of the , but she captured that feeling incredibly well.”

“Yes, it was . I don’t know how they came up with such a level of reproducibility.”

The first reason is that it was helped by a legendary actor who could easily pull off a one-man play, and the second reason is that it was written by the writer himself.

But no one knew about it, and the aggrieved Turkish actor fainted, so they were just purely amazed.

At the same time, worries came to the fore.

“I was watching the Vulcan series these days, which is about a war between stars, and when I saw that, it was like an eye-opener. I’m on Miss Seo’s side… um, no, wait a minute.”

“Mr. Lewis… no, uh… .”

“This is hard….”

This teaser video release event has the task of raising viewers’ expectations by evaluating the judges and gathering their opinions to select the ‘best work’.

But no one could easily settle the score.

“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’s obvious that everyone is worried enough to bring up slightly unreasonable topics.

Because they are all industry professionals.

“Those projects that look fun just by looking at them were made in a rushed video in just a couple months? That’s a bit much.”

“That’s too much….”

“What can we do? Isn’t this something we all agreed on?”

“At that time, I didn’t know something like that would come out.”

“Oh my… .”

In addition to the work of Aislinn and Seobom, the released footage was full of sparkling and surprising performances.

However, the works that are not selected by the judges will certainly receive less attention.

‘It’s hard to decide, but…’

‘I guess I have to decide though… .’

They sighed heavily and looked at the ballot papers placed before them.

Everyone was groaning.

And, what─

As always, it was director Henry Feynman who made the far-fetched story seem effortless.

“Well, there’s nothing we can do since the regulations were announced in advance. We can only add some provisions to make it better, right?”

“What are the provisions?”

“How about giving every team a chance to pick our judges and get advice from them? It would be better than just leaving them alone. And they’d get some airtime.”

“Umm… what’s the order?”

“It doesn’t matter, so I guess we can just decide based on the level of response.”

Although the effectiveness was questionable, there was no particular reason to reject the opinion.

The judges’ professions were diverse, including actors and directors, but at least they all had a way to advise on the production.

They inserted that clause without much thought.

Kang Min-do agreed without much thought, saying it was a good idea.

Well, let me interpret it a little differently─

The target, himself, walked out into the battlefield, where a shred of sanity had been maintained.

‘This is crazy….’

Director Hong Ji-ho’s jaw dropped beyond the TV.

But even such a wise director could not have predicted how far this butterfly effect would go.
