The King of Death Smoke Episode 205

The Second Masterpiece and the $400 Million Love Story (15)

The trailer for the main feature reduces the sound below 300Hz to the limit momentarily.

Then, the faint baroque opera, , buried in the sound of drums, heightens the atmosphere.

Ahhh─

Aaaah─

The camera zooms in.

At the same time, the tension in the music reaches its peak.

And then, at the same time that the camera captures the main character’s entire body, an electric guitar comes in and changes the mood.

rifle.

uniform.

insignia.

Captain’s hat.

And, congratulations.

[Congratulations on your inauguration, Captain Matthew Stout.]

[I am well aware of your unwavering loyalty and strong sense of duty. I believe you will become a great figure who will be remembered in the history of the Empire.]

[It is an honor, General.]

Beyond the protagonist’s back, a giant holographic universe map is revealed.

A huge area spanning from hundreds to tens of thousands of light years is shaded.

Red dots appear in some of them.

[As you may know, there are many who threaten us. The remnants of aliens that the Empire once subdued, the seeds that can develop into them, and, guess what?]

[They are traitors, General.]

[I don’t mean to disparage the Imperial Academy curriculum, but I personally would recommend the word pirate. They have no such cause.]

[All right.]

, , .

.

Old ships with meaningless flags are shot down by beam weapons and scattered helplessly.

[They are like cockroaches.]

[Just as our ancestors two thousand years ago could not have known that they would coexist with these guys even in an interstellar civilization, the first human federation that tolerated their existence could not have known that these guys would hold humanity back for two thousand years.]

[That is why I believe the people chose the Empire, General.]

[Excellent.]

[Just don’t forget that these cockroaches are hiding everywhere.]

The scene changes.

A friend’s face is seen giggling, with his arm around the expressionless captain’s shoulder.

[Anyone can be a bug.]

[Be very careful. Their tongues are like poison, and they tend to scatter infidels and heretics.]

And then, in the next scene, the guy shows it and points his gun at the captain.

A red warning message appears on the hologram: , , .

My friend is shouting something, but I can’t hear him.

Only the narration remains.

[No problem, General.]

The action that follows is literally something no one expected.

The opponent who is skillfully rushing within the sphere of influence of gravity is armed.

On the other hand, the captain flies unarmed in an anti-gravity environment where it is difficult to even control his body.

However, a fight breaks out.

[Ugh…!]

star.

[Kwak…!]

mankind.

[Khuuuk…!]

And freedom.

As numerous scenes pass by, action scenes that defy common sense capture the viewers’ eyes.

A scene that should clearly be awkward is infinitely natural and thrilling, like a stunt.

The viewers are amazed.

Critics are horrified.

And then the actors get dazed.

“What is that…?”

“What kind of equipment did you use…?”

“No, can I just write it?”

While everyone was stunned, the captain with a cold expression retrieved the device and aimed his gun.

On top of that, a distant future is superimposed with images of people sipping brandy without any sense of direction.

[For humanity!]

[For humanity.]

The screen goes black as a close-up of Sean Terry’s terrified face is revealed.

And then, a gunshot.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Even after the screen turned to a commercial, Miller and his daughter remained silent.

The two women just looked at each other and blinked.

To be exact, most of those who saw this did.

“… … .”

“… … .”

But it didn’t last long.

Soon, a response several times greater than that at the production presentation began to erupt from various places.

Not only the United States, but all the countries that participated in the third audition went crazy and blew up the servers.

… and inside there were exactly two people pulling out their hair.

* * *

“Ugh, this is ridiculous…!”

Needless to say, one of them was Hopper Dusk.

He was so shocked after watching the trailer that he just opened his mouth for a long time.

“Oh my, how could this happen…!”

Of course, it was not that Director Dusk did not hear the news of the production conference for .

But of course, it was expected that it would take time.

Director Dusk knows best how long it takes for a hastily put-together plan, a staff and actors who were forcibly gathered together, and a scenario that has only just begun to be written.

But after 2 months,

A teaser like that in just 2 months…!

“And what about that action scene! In order for something like that to come out, there should have been data at least from the beginning of filming! Are you saying that guy Kang got crazy and started a fistfight on the first day of filming?!”

The famous detective’s insight shone through this time as well, but unfortunately, this time, even he himself could not accept it.

It was so crazy that it was only natural.

It was a tragedy that failed to respect Mr. Holmes’ famous quote, “Once you have eliminated all impossibilities, what remains is the truth, however improbable it may seem.”

And while Director Dusk was holding his head like that, the other one had his eyes tightly shut.

‘Fuck! That crazy director, he literally filled a quarter of the film with scenes where I just burst out laughing!’

Sean Terry poured himself a beer in the blazing living room.

Of course, rather than calming down, my anger only grew more intense.

‘Damn it, why does that scene feel so real!!’

As always, the mad director’s foresight was amazing.

The scene that Director Henry pushed through, despite the concerns of not only the general staff but also the directors, was transformed into a scene close to art with the addition of clean editing and graphics.

It immediately received rave reviews from critics.

– Amazing! The action in the lecture has always been like that, but the greatness of this scene is that it is surprising and new!

-The fight between two people who share gravity makes you feel like you’re floating through space.

-If Kang was ahead with 85, Sean Terry was perfectly behind with 15. It’s rare to see a performance that is hit this naturally.

– From a critic’s perspective, Kang is a genius. From a film fan’s perspective, Sean shows the skills of an experienced actor. Applause to both actors.

“Critics and maniacs, you fucking don’t have eyes!!!!!”

Sean Terry was tearing at his hair.

That’s right.

Amazingly, none of the 8 billion people on this planet noticed that this scene was really about beating up and getting beaten up.

For that reason, Kang Min’s low-gravity environment acting was just too perfect.

Even people whose jobs require them to repeatedly train in similar environments were so impressed that they even interviewed him.

“And who the hell is that kid! Some crazy guy just provokes someone and beats them up so artistically!!”

In fact, it wasn’t Kangmin’s intention either, but he had no way to explain himself. He had misspelled the name of the paraglider director again and was seriously having a conversation saying, “If I did something wrong, I apologize.” “No, not really…” “Then why on earth did you do that!”

Sean Terry spent a long time stomping and groaning in the living room.

And it took me several dozen minutes to finally calm down.

“Huh, that’s right! If you think about it, there’s nothing bad about me, right?”

Even though he was recording a YouTube view count that I had never seen in my life with the name of the best acting ever, and even though senior and junior actors kept saying things like, “I’m really impressed” and “I’ve never seen acting like this in my life!”, it was still okay.

Anyway, isn’t the value of a name the value of a name?

At this point, it would be fair to say that this incident is Sean Terry’s victory.

-Oh, Sean! I was thinking about it, you seem to have a talent for acting. Why don’t you practice seriously? Haven’t you always wanted a role that you could call your trademark? If this is─

“I’m hanging up, Master Roland.”

It will definitely be like that.

Of course, director Pian, who is crazy, wanted to film more scenes of Sean getting beaten up in a similar way.

But the world-famous Sean Terry’s skills were just average, he had already pretended to feel sorry and pulled away.

“Oh my god, that was such a coincidental performance that I was surprised! If I did it again, it wouldn’t be the same, right?”

“Hmm… how could it not work?”

“Whew, I would like to do more if possible! What actor wouldn’t like to have their role increased? But even after staying up all night for several days, I don’t feel like I’m being beaten up, so… .”

“Oh, so the thing is, the desire to do something is like a chimney, but no smoke comes out.”

“That’s it!”

“Then you’ll do it if there’s smoke?”

“Of course! But who can teach you something like this!”

When Sean Terry lied without even wiping his lips, it seemed that coach Henry had no choice.

He was easily convinced and backed down.

Sean, who barely managed to get the situation under control, tried to calm his bitter feelings.

‘Well done. Well done. In the end, I said it was a gain. This is because I took advantage of that bastard Kang!’

So, it was around this time that Sean Terry managed to achieve a mental victory over the next few days.

A phone call came in.

The next person responsible for this situation was director Henry Fein.

‘You crazy kid, what the hell are you talking about again?’

Sean cursed under his breath, cleared his throat, and pressed the call button.

Fortunately, the other person’s tone was bright.

– Mr. Sean Terry, I have some good news for you.

“Oh, I’m looking forward to that! Go ahead!”

-You found a good teacher.

“… What should I say?”

-Didn’t you lament before that you wanted to do similar acting but had no one to teach you? Don’t worry, I’ve found the best teacher!

“… … ?”

Sean blinked blankly.

What the hell are you talking about? Where in the world can you find a teacher who can teach you how to act like you just got hit.

That’s nonsense.

‘If there’s really such a guy and you bring him here, I’ll end up getting beat up on a rainy day!’

Three hours later, Korea.

At MBS Ilsan Production Center, filming for a drama was just wrapping up.

“Hey, it’s been a while since I’ve had this much free time filming! I could take a break for a week or two!”

The PD laughed heartily.

He looked at a stuntman with an expression that almost had honey dripping from his eyes.

“Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Kim Ho-jin! I feel so relieved when Mr. Ho-jin finishes the action scenes!”

“Then give me some money─ Hmm, hmm! What did I do? Wasn’t it all thanks to the PD-nim’s good instructions?”

“Wow, you’re so humble! Hahahaha!”

I almost lost my words─

While the PD burst into laughter, stuntman Kim Ho-jin barely managed to close his mouth and wipe away the cold sweat.

If it had been him two years ago, he would have been unable to hold it in and let out a groan. But he probably thought it didn’t matter.

But after being harassed by one actor, he started to doubt everything in the world.

‘Where else can you find someone similar to that crazy guy, Kang Min…!’

It was a kind of trauma.

‘That PD’s style of handing over scripts is similar to that guy Kang Min… .’

‘That male lead has a slightly strong nose, he looks similar… .’

‘Hey, isn’t that the exact same hat that actress is wearing that Kang Min wore in episode 21 of ? We have to be careful!’

Anyway, as I was watching everyone’s reactions and holding myself back, Kim Ho-jin’s evaluation changed quite a bit from before.

Everyone was talking about how Kim Ho-jin, who used to live like a gangster, was rehabilitated after meeting Kang Min.

It was a shocking story for Kim Ho-jin, but he denied it. He was afraid of it reaching Kang Min’s ears.

He had no choice but to accept it while crying and eating mustard… .

“Ho-jin must be a little disappointed. Actor Kang-min, who recognized Ho-jin, is busy in the US.”

“Do you want to go see me sometime?”

“What the heck… Ahem! No, I’m always grateful!”

“also…!”

Of course, it was quite the opposite.

Every morning, Kim Ho-jin prayed to the gods and goddesses that Kang Min would never set foot in Korea again.

Well, since is shaking up the world, that won’t happen in the next few years.

Kim Ho-jin has been feeling almost at ease these days.

And it was exactly around that time that I got a call from my agency.

-Hey, Hojin. Is it okay to talk?

“What is it?”

-No, there was a rather strange request from the US. They asked you to give them some acting guidance.

“Oh, shit, I told you I’d never go to America! And what kind of teacher am I? Stop talking nonsense─”

-Isn’t that a bit much?

“… … .”

Kim Ho-jin thought for a moment after hearing the amount.

I thought about it for a long time.

But then he finally regained his appetite and said,

“… When?”

Whether you are American or Korean,

As always, the root of all evil is greed.
