The King of Death Smoke Episode 198

The Second Masterpiece and the $400 Million Love Story (8)

It is often said that there is no other reality show like the idol audition program in Korea.

If you’re wondering what else there is to cheer on besides just the usual stuff, just search SNS around the time it airs.

You will be able to see a living hell where slander, black propaganda, public opinion manipulation, and collusion against rival contestants are openly taking place.

But, well, this situation wasn’t that bad either.

The cookie video, which was only about a minute long, and the backstory that even the creators thought would be searched for, spread all over the world at a speed that shocked even the planners.

-The chosen actor will board the Dimensional Battleship!

-The chosen actor rides on a dimensional battleship!

-L’acteur choisi monte dans le vaisseau de guerre Dimension!

-Let’s fight and fight again!

-Diễn viên được chọn sẽ lên tàu chiến không gian!

– It’s time to go to the middle of nowhere!

-Kudengar actor─

To tell the truth, no one thought this was a problem until now.

Instead, everyone was jumping for joy.

The production crew and producers were so touched that they even hugged Kang Min and jumped up and down in joy at the thought that there was a bigger chance of success in this situation.

“Oh, you’re a genius! Kang, you’re really a genius! I guess I met you to become a great person!”

“Well, I think it’s all the producer’s fault….”

“This is so humble! Hahahaha─!!”

“… … .”

But unlike everyone else who was in a festive mood, there was one person who felt a bit ominous: Penelope.

It was a problem before her pirate hat.

‘Up until the second audition, people had shown that they could have a national competition with actors instead of soccer players… .’

Fortunately, this was somewhat resolved through the tearful acting of the Military Manpower Administration’s Apostles Kang Min and Seo Bom.

It was trained, but─

‘Right now, aren’t we deliberately planting the seed there…?’

The proposition that “we are all actors, so let’s stop this useless fighting” has lost its power.

Because we’re not fighting, we’re just discussing who gets to ride that awesome pirate dimensional sailing ship.

The proposition that “what is the point of discussing something when there is no standard for comparison” has also lost its force.

There’s already talk about who would be a great fit for the pirate dimension sailing ship based on the third teaser video.

Even the slogan “Actors have no nationality” has lost its power.

Because the crew of the awesome pirate dimension sailing ship has nationality.

Everything is equalized under the strange name of Pirate Dimensional Sailboat.

“Hahahahahaha─!!”

“Hahahahahaha─!!”

‘Well, I guess it’s okay.’

Penelope, who had been worrying, tried to put her worries aside as she watched the production staff dancing the cancan while hugging each other.

Because everyone looked so calm and composed.

‘It’s not like the judges or the production staff or anything like that can’t be considered… Above all, even though Min is a bit crazy, he’s trustworthy when it’s important… .’

There is a story that famous psychologists say in one voice.

Leaving aside crowd psychology and deindividualization, in situations where people keep their mouths shut and think, ‘Everyone must have thought this much,’ surprisingly, they may be the only person who thought of that.

Among the laughing, chatting, and rejoicing old gentlemen, none had concerns like Penelope.

And the result soon exploded into something unimaginable.

As always, the start was Vietnam, the first batter of the two major shows.

Their proud Ngoc Thanh gave a decent performance in Director Dusk’s film, and Le Huyen Linh also did a great job in the first batter of . Of course, there was no way he could feel bad.

Since neighbors and cousins ​​between countries were good at everything, it was natural for them to deceive each other, so they became very arrogant.

-America and its people have recognized us!

-Ah, is this ‘global’… .

-The era of V-Drama following V-POP…!

Such self-indulgence naturally angered other ASEAN countries.

They rallied around Thailand’s Rawit Thanat and worked hard to discredit Le Huyen Lin.

-That’s funny!

-If you just look at the evaluations from the teaser video, it was in the lower ranks?

-I’m so sad I can’t speak.

To this extent, it was a common occurrence before.

Even people passing by clicked their tongues and said, ‘There they go again.’

That is, until some photo that someone had photoshopped started leaking.

-(Photo of Le Huyen Lin sitting in the ship’s helmsman’s seat)

-(Photo of Le Huyen Lin turning the wheel while repeating orders)

-You worked hard! Doesn’t the seat fit you?

This photo, which I created without much thought, somehow shook the world.

The photo, which received numerous recommendations based on the atmosphere, was even exported overseas.

And for some reason, it infuriated everyone.

-Pilot? You’re already pretending to be the helmsman?!

-In the French Navy, the helmsman is still called by the rank of a senior sailor. No, even if you look at a lot of science fiction, the helmsman is the next rank after the captain and the first officer!

-You’re counting chicks that haven’t even hatched yet!

-I’m so dumbfounded 🙁

The person who uploaded the photo apologized, saying he was embarrassed and didn’t know what was going on.

But the fire that had already been lit could not be put out.

All kinds of countries began to photoshop or fan-art their own actors into the helmsman’s seat.

No, there was even a flood of fan art depicting the entire crew of the ship. Most of them were drawn with Kang-min, as if to emphasize their friendly relationship(?).

Naturally, such fan art was met with controversy.

-Aisha Kaya is the helmsman, Tuva Abz is the communications officer, and Aislinn Lewis is just a crew member? Haha. Doesn’t that prick your conscience? Haha.

-Turkish lol

-There isn’t even spring.

-I uploaded this for fun. If you don’t like it, please go back.

└What do you mean, make a list of crew members that doesn’t make sense and tell them to go back?

└If it’s a hobby, why don’t you draw it by yourself and look at it by yourself?

└Oh my goshㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Please don’t swear.

└Don’t do anything that deserves to be cursed at 🙂

└Fxxx you

└I just smashed my 4K TV!

At this point, there was nothing that could be done.

They say that the best way to cause aggro in Korean audition programs is to upload a group photo with a title like, “It seems like the final group of successful candidates has been decided.”

It is said that a crazy scene unfolds where fans of all kinds of participants gather and bite each other.

calumny.

Black propaganda.

Manipulating public opinion.

Collusion─

That hellish spectacle began to unfold on a much larger, much more global scale.

-Shock! Rumors that Le Huyen Lin was practically buried by Kang Min are confirmed to be true! (+46,619)

-(Breaking News) Hollywood famous actor Rawit Thanat teaser criticized! Bubble burst! (+58,744)

-Aisha Kaya suspected of being behind a large agency? (+42,751)

-Rumors about Judith Leroy’s personality (+25,633)

-It seems like Asian actors, except for Kang, aren’t that good? (+105,547)

-What on earth do South American people brag about? (+126,423)

-Honestly, isn’t Aislinn Lewis a coward? (+175,332)

-Honestly, aren’t you ashamed of calling low-quality actors your own? (+382,157)

-But in an era where dimensional navigation ships appear, is it okay for them to have wheels? (+541,593)

Whether it’s SNS, a community, or anything related to the entertainment industry, it’s all on fire.

It was a completely different mess from fighting within a single country.

Just as no one had ever thought of a world-class actor audition, no one had anticipated this situation either.

That’s why.

The reason why the producers and production staff were a little late in understanding the situation is.

“#1 trending number! We crushed Hopper Dusk’s nose and took it back!”

“Yeah, that’s right!”

“It continues to be number one! The response from each country is tremendous! Even fan art is pouring out like crazy on the Internet!”

“Hahaha! Perfect! Perfect!”

“Well… there’s a bit of a dispute going on online, but it’s still number one…!”

“Don’t worry! It’s more surprising that the trend numbers still have room to go up!”

“Uh, that’s… the level of conflict is a bit…”

“?”

The producer, who was busy with his work, only then belatedly checked SNS.

The situation was very simple.

In almost every post with the tag “kill” there was a fight going on.

What should I say─ At this point, it was more than just a national competition, it was close to a fight between two rivals.

In particular, Kang Min’s name was mentioned everywhere, and beyond rumors about who he was on good terms with and who he highly rated, there was even a weirdo who analyzed his expression frame by frame while watching the teaser video.

The staff noticed.

“What should we do? CAE’s Director Olson has expressed concern that something big might happen.

“… … .”

“… Producer?”

“… … .”

The producer thought about it for a long time.

I kept thinking about it as I recalled Kang Min’s humble attitude a while ago, saying, “It’s all thanks to the producer.”

If you want to learn, you can do it.

Rather, I didn’t know that now might be my only chance.

But that thought was fleeting, and he soon came to a very emotional conclusion.

“Well, leave it alone.”

“yes?!”

“It’s not like last time, where something explodes here. The actors are full of energy, but it’s not just the outsiders who are making noise. It won’t be bad for us, right? Above all, it will be a great benefit to Mr. Kang.”

“Well… that’s true… but if something really big happens─”

“In that case, I’ll take responsibility. I just need to write a proper explanation and reflect on it.”

It was a sound that went beyond evil to terrifying.

They want to set the world on fire and pretend not to know anything about it for the sake of ratings and trend figures.

Who in the world can believe such a horrible thing!

“… If I think about it, I guess I can just worry about it when something big happens.”

“Well, I guess I’ll have to kick you out.”

“You’re not the old people who say that because of the ratings. I was worrying for nothing.”

But the CBC producer and his subordinates were not human.

The two looked at each other and laughed heartily.

A few days later, the producer’s consideration (?) produced truly definite results.

The two keywords and broke new records for trend numbers.

And at the same time, it was belatedly reported that the number of views for the first episode of Cookie Video within 24 hours unfortunately did not exceed 100 million.

The reaction of non-English speaking actors upon hearing this news was nothing short of bewilderment.

“…what?”

“her….”

“This is crazy….”

By any objective measure, Kang Min’s greatest success to date has been Richard I in New York.

This problematic film, which has remained in the top 100 of all-time box office hits, was certainly great, but that was all. If you remove the labels of “non-English speaking” and “third year”, Kang Min is still not a great actor.

But this news was different.

Even with the help of auditions and other prerequisites, at this point, she was at a point where she had to be compared to singers with historic fan clubs like Taylor Swift or WTS, let alone other actors.

As always, while I was busy biting down on my neighbors, I was momentarily speechless, not only about my work, but even about my home country, Korea.

But, while everyone was absent-minded, there was someone who immediately stood up and ground his teeth.

As always, it was Director Dusk.

“Ugh… Now this guy is showing his true colors!”

He squeezed his eyes shut, clutching the shooting script.

“He seeks his own benefit even if it means making the whole world fight… He’s the kind of villain you only see in movies!”

He gnashed his teeth and was finally convinced.

Hopper Dusk’s golden career was all about preparing him for the moment he took down that evil bastard.

Well, if a doctor had heard about it, he might have started to consider prescribing an SNRI instead of an SSRI like Prozac, but at least on set, Director Dusk was the doctor. And there was no one to stop him.

That was a tragedy.

“Director… Are you really okay with this story?”

“Haven’t I explained this to you several times in meetings? You still don’t understand?!”

“Rather than not understanding, it’s… just too much—ahem, radical…”

“That’s why it finally works! Don’t you get it?!”

‘ was made without any plan.’

‘ is the same.’

‘Actress Seo Bom actually tried to break her opponent’s head.’

‘The second one was a real confession─’

Director Dusk has shown a truly famous detective’s accuracy rate. Even Auguste Dupin and Hercule Poirot would stroke their chins and say, ‘Hmm, he’s at a decent level.’

But no one in the world knew about such a brilliant idea.

Such experiences gave birth to stubbornness and even self-righteousness.

…but what,

Such stubbornness and self-righteousness can sometimes have a big impact.

The main victims here were again the Vietnamese.

They were recently criticized and condemned by all countries for the first photo manipulation incident.

-Damn, everyone is cursing Hu Yanlin! And the other ASEAN guys are joining in too!

-I’m jealous… .

-What’s the problem if Huyen Linh can’t be a helmsman? We have not only Huyen Linh, but also Ngoc Phong Thanh!

-Vietnam’s level is already clear! It will soon be able to surpass Korea!

The Vietnamese people hoped that this situation would be resolved with just one work.

What I mean is,

Everyone was eagerly waiting for the second episode of Director Dusk’s to come out soon.
