The King of Death Smoke Episode 192

The Second Masterpiece and the $400 Million Love Story (2)

“It was an amazing piece of work.”

In the waiting room after filming, Kang Min spoke with a very moved heart.

“Oh my goodness, did you see the audience’s reaction? Even though it was only about two minutes long, everyone seemed to be unable to hide their excitement! And that’s despite the fact that it used a theatrical style of banter that everyone is unfamiliar with.”

“… … .”

“This reminds me of when Mr. Lewis dragged me to Broadway for no reason. It was just as amazing an experience.”

Kangmin recalled something that had already happened a year ago.

It was a little embarrassing. But apart from that, the sight of Aislinn Lewis on stage was enough to give Kangmin some insight.

Again, that realization became more concrete when he met Finnegan Styx and Zoya Styx, and again it prompted Kangmin to go to America, so in the end, it was all Aislin’s whim that started it all.

The recent Richard I figure ended up adding the M72 Law, which has a mechanical sight instead of the Javelin missiles, which has caused another shortage.

But the Richard they all love would not have existed without the Don Quixote of that time.

Isn’t such Aislin another teacher to Kang Min and a benefactor for the upcoming ?

He spoke with full sincerity.

“It’s a really good piece of work. It was very moving.”

Unfortunately, it was not conveyed.

“… Is that all? What can you say after seeing that?”

“yes?”

“No, I was just talking nonsense….”

But for some reason, when Aislin heard those words, she let out a long sigh.

What can I say, he seemed like someone who felt serious regret about life itself.

Even the white-bearded discriminator who said he wouldn’t give a gift to a child who wasn’t a good kid had an expression on his face that made it seem like he was wondering if he shouldn’t at least save the person.

But Kangmin was Kangmin, so I guess that was why, he turned his head to the side.

Next to him was a strangely familiar face with his arms crossed.

Kangmin was polite.

“You were the theater owner at the time. I’ve heard a lot about how great of a person you are. At the time, I didn’t know much about theater, so I apologize for being rude…”

“Isn’t that just a piece of trash…?”

“?”

“Ahem, I’m sorry. I blurted out nonsense without realizing it.”

“yes….”

Is it trendy?

Kangmin thought he should play a similar prank on Penelope later.

Anyway, Kangmin decided to roughly finish the purpose of coming here.

It was to convey the results of the meeting.

“Spring… The judges were very impressed by the works of actors Seo Bom, Lewis, and several others. It was so much so that they felt it was a waste to rush through the work in the next month and a half.”

“Well, if it were the CBC guys, I think they would have been talking about merging them.”

“… You are correct.”

Kang Min was secretly impressed by Lord Bennet’s sharpness.

“But isn’t this something we can’t force? After all, this is an audition and it has to be fair.”

“Well, of course.”

Lord Bennet answered with great impudence.

“Instead, any team is given the authority to ask the judges for help. This is a pretty broad scope… .”

Kang Min gave a long explanation. That was because he was in charge of informing each team of the situation.

It was quite a hassle, but if he could just get through this third audition, wouldn’t his wish come true? Kangmin felt like he wanted to do anything for this lovely project.

Now you don’t have to worry about how to guide your work anymore.

Now you don’t have to wrestle with producers, writers, or actors anymore.

Now, just die without thinking about it!

It feels like there’s some strange overvaluation floating around these days, but I’m sure everyone will soon forget about it. People have always been like that.

My heart naturally became warm.

“Are you saying any help would be appreciated?”

“Of course.”

“Hmm… .”

And maybe it’s because it feels so warm.

Kang Min failed to catch the warning of his instincts that warned him of danger in time.

Aislinn’s eyes sparkled.

“Then, how about appearing?”

“…yes?”

“I think it would be helpful for you to appear as my counterpart in my play as an actor. I don’t think there would be any problem with the terms and conditions, right?”

“… … ???”

What the heck is this crazy talk?

It was a strange thing.

What was strange was that it wasn’t just Aislinn Lewis who said this crazy thing.

I somehow cut it off because it seemed like it would be difficult, but somehow the next batter, Seo Bom, said something similar.

“Uh, um… .”

“Wouldn’t that be okay…?”

“Should I say no? Mr. Lewis said something similar. Are you surprisingly close or something?”

“…You might as well hang me.”

“huh?”

“No, it’s a strange thing.”

Seobom smiled faintly.

And then he lowered his eyelashes and added emphasis.

“Still, it was a long-time dream of mine to appear in a work with my senior. Like actor Louis, it was something that just suddenly occurred to me for no reason─not something that just occurred to me because I was bored.”

“Well, that’s true. I thought that would be nice too.”

“then…!”

“But that and this are separate things. That doesn’t make sense.”

“… … Yes, of course. I thought so too.”

Even if you just look at singer audition programs, there are cases where the judges act as mentors, but there are no cases where they stand on stage together.

It means that it is something that makes no sense.

As for Kangmin, he couldn’t understand why people he knew were acting like this.

Moreover, in Aislin’s case, isn’t it true that you’re going to assign yourself to the most important role of first love? Is that okay?

-God is dead. The son of a bitch in front of me killed God… .

Kang Min sighed, ignoring the ghost that seemed to suggest he had recently started reading Nietzsche.

Although he would tell Aislin because she was so insistent, he didn’t think such nonsense could be seriously discussed in the first place.

“Oh, I never would have thought of that!”

“That’s a perfect idea, actor!”

“?”

It worked.

When Kang Min started talking, for some reason, all the judges all slapped their knees. They all looked like they wanted to shout “Eureka!”

Even CEO Jaylen and the CBC director, who had been busy fighting with each other, exchanged excited glances.

“Yes, I completely forgot! If you think about it, this audition was originally to choose an actor to be Mr. Kang’s partner!”

“That’s right! Of course, there’s no problem with me appearing… No, it’s right for me to appear!”

“I never thought there would be a method like this!”

The judges exchanged opinions with excited faces.

Numerous opinions were put forward, rejected, and then reabsorbed and shaped.

During the 30-minute meeting, everyone’s excitement was evident.

And while Kang Min was absent-minded, a conclusion that matched Kang Min’s intentions(?) was finally reached.

Representative Jaylen clapped his hands with a moved expression.

“Yes, this is it! We’ll combine all the short stories from the third audition into an omnibus universe! Like ! And we’ll air it every week! It’s perfect!”

“Actor Kang appears every time as a doctor!”

“We air one episode on Saturday, and then air the behind-the-scenes on Sunday! And we add the viewer ratings to the score! Isn’t that an indicator that won’t make any noise? And we can guarantee the quality!”

“Okay! I smell success!”

“You couldn’t possibly have seen this far… .”

“This is… …!”

Naturally, Kangmin was dumbfounded.

no….

That’s not Kangmin Special… .

I just want to play Russian roulette with an automatic pistol and pretend to die…!

Why on earth do things always turn out like this…!

“also!”

“indeed…!”

“How is it?!”

But the eyes of the higher-ups were too sparkling to say that.

Kang Min was worried.

I really thought about it for a long time.

And then I barely came up with a last resort.

“But, will this be well-received? I’m not sure.”

“Oh, I think that would be great!”

“sure!”

“Well, just in case, wouldn’t it be better to be sure? Maybe have a viewer vote.”

“Hmm, if that’s really what the actor says….”

For that reason, the next day, a voting topic was posted on the official audition website.

But unfortunately, the Parmat Check incident that Kang Min had expected did not happen. The population was too large for that to happen.

Kang Min’s hopes were dashed after a worldwide outpouring of support, with a surprising 91% approval rating out of 570,000 voters.

An ambitious plan to feature a man who died playing Russian roulette with an automatic pistol as the first episode of has completely gone awry.

‘Ugh…!’

Kang Min, who returned to the hotel, tried to soothe his bitter heart with beer.

He tried hard to masturbate.

‘Well, it’s nothing. No, it’s not. It may have been a little long, but if I just get through this third round…!’

But as always, Kang Min’s optimistic outlook hit a wall.

Soon, a nemesis who was openly targeting Kang Min would appear.

I wasn’t talking about Aislin and Seobom, who happened to run into each other in the hallway and were giving off an ominous vibe. There was someone who moved even faster than those two.

Needless to say, the only one who saw through this whole situation was the famous detective Hopper Dusk.

As mentioned above, WMA is in a state of turmoil and Director Dusk is once again unemployed.

Even under the doctor’s judgment and the family’s concerns, I was almost dragged to the white house on the hill.

But there were those who wanted Director Dusk to be their lifeline.

UTA, the last remaining member of the big three US agencies, was watching the all-out war between CAE and WMA from afar.

“…WMA is in a state of self-restraint.”

“I never thought the result would be this close to a complete defeat.”

“Well, this is a bit of a boring situation… .”

While CAE and WMA were in a position where they had no choice but to growl as they divided the acting world represented by Hollywood, UTA was somewhat removed from the conflict.

This is because the group maintains its size by using relatively less popular mid-level actors, comedians with ambiguous positions, and stunt actors. Actor Stefan Zishler, who is currently connected to Kang Min, and stunt actor Thomas Gilbreath are part of this group.

Naturally, they could watch the fight between CAE and WMA as if it were a fire across the river.

But it is true that if this ends in a complete defeat for WMA, it will be a little, a lot less fun.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, if Shu were to fly away, would they be okay?─ For them, the current situation could not help but be very unstable.

“Well, no matter what, we can’t act like guys like WMA.”

“I agree. Isn’t that a matter of conscience?”

“Oh, on the contrary, I guess I got something back for doing that!”

He said this, but in reality, it was closer to not having the confidence to carry out the operation.

Of course, unlike CAE, which was founded by actors, and WMA, which was founded by businessmen, these were agencies created by unknown comedians who somehow gained trust through word of mouth and grew. They had little experience in that area.

Anyway, it wasn’t a situation where anything would happen right away. They kept quiet, feeling a bit awkward.

But it didn’t last long.

That was because something happened that would shake them up soon.

“Omnibus?! You’re going to tie all the actors who advanced to the third round of auditions together?! In the same worldview?!”

“Aren’t you going to make ? And a global version with actors from all over the world!”

“It’s a little different, like … .”

“It doesn’t matter either way! This isn’t something we can just let go of!”

They were all terrified.

Even if the movie does well, it can be like that. The factory system represented by Hollywood itself does not discriminate between affiliations. This side can also interfere at any time.

But TV shows are different because they involve networks.

If the other party erects a monopoly wall and continues this momentum for a long time like the , it is difficult to guarantee that our pie will not be immediately threatened.

UTA began to stir.

“We have to stand up and do something! If we can’t do something like WMA, we have to invest in a TV show that will stand up to them!”

“What kind of work is that!”

“This is a broadcast that is no different from the fruit of an audition program that is gaining worldwide popularity! Does that make sense?”

“I don’t know if there will be a broadcasting station willing to fight with us in the first place…!”

When a rival network hits a ridiculous jackpot, the best thing to do is not to fight back, but to throw in the towel and say, “Okay, you guys won,” and then rebroadcast or reschedule the show.

It can’t be any different in America.

UTA held several meetings and poked around, but without much success. Most of the networks just sat back and watched.

“Ugh.”

“There must be a way…!”

UTA finally decided to grab onto straws.

The only thing they had to do was summon director Hopper Dusk, who had some experience fighting with Kangmin.

“flaw.”

Contrary to what I had expected, Hopper Dusk was laid-back.

He sat silently for a while, listening to his employers’ questions.

And he gave a blunt answer.

“Well, it seems like no one here has seen through the true intentions of that damn plan.”

“hmm?”

“Just one.”

He smiled broadly.

“Just one genre is enough. If we just put out works in that genre, their superiority will be washed away.”

“Oh, what the heck is that?!”

“It’s a love story.”

“?” is written.
