The King of Death Smoke Episode 220

The Hope (8)

One thing was certain.

Kang Min had no intention of giving up his own .

‘Huh, how did I get here…! It’s about time that the three and a half years of hard work begins to bear fruit…!’

‘Just go a little further…!’

And there was one more thing that was certain.

Director Penelope also had no intention of giving up on persuading Kang Min.

‘My late grandmother used to say that. If linguistic thinking is responsible for objective, rational thinking as intellectual understanding, then dream-thinking reveals the lowest level of the human mind through archaic thinking.’

‘It appears as a form of death other than the accident experienced. A typical projection mechanism that distorts the truth. A derivative of the unconscious. A circular psychological function… .’

It was such a high-level analysis that even Kang Min blinked and said, “Oh, really?…” and barely came to his senses when he saw the ghost next to him.

Legendary actress Sir Janet Olsen delved into psychoanalysis in her later years to expand her acting horizons, and her legacy is clearly visible in her granddaughter Penelope.

‘Then, persuading this person… .’

‘I will become the king of death acting…!’

… Well, it’s not like it’s necessarily right to be classy.

“Ahem, ahem. I got off topic a bit, but let’s hear what the solution is.”

“Hmm, hmm! Yes, that’s right.”

The two entered into the discussion while hiding their own intentions.

However, Penelope, who had planned ahead, was bound to have the advantage over Kang Min, who was suddenly taken by surprise and had to rack his brain.

When I suddenly presented my plan to attend San Diego Comic-Con, Kangmin was naturally taken aback.

“San Diego? No matter how much I think about it, we’re not at the level where we should be. It’s a place where all kinds of famous series gather. It’s fortunate that we don’t get embarrassed.”

“Here is the plan that my uncle approved. Look at it. He even signed it.”

“Hmm, if it’s Representative Jaylen’s judgment, I can trust it….”

It was such a fraud that CEO Jaylen fainted from hitting his chest.

“For your information, the draft was written by Director Henry.”

“Well, maybe even the director… .”

Even the director sold one more person.

Kang Min still looked unsure, but since Director Henry had a plan(?), he had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

Penelope clenched her fists reflexively, then forced her expression to calm down.

“As you may know, SDCC is a four-day event. Like most events, the big announcements tend to be made on the last day.”

“So that means the schedule is set for the 4th day.”

“Well, I have made my own plans─ ahem, I think CEO Jaylen has made them. But there’s no way we can be a match for the existing big shots, right?”

“Of course.”

There are few companies that officially participate in Comic-Con that don’t have decades of history behind them.

Even if it is a bit short, it is a place that can be crushed just by the size of the Webflix booth. It is not a level that a plan that was initially popular can keep up with.

Kang Min thought this was the moment and raised a skeptical voice.

“To be honest, I’m still concerned. This is a gamble. It’s better to pick it up now and discuss more practical issues like the rhinoceros herd─”

“If you can’t beat someone, you have to try anything.”

“…yes?”

“Let’s go. Let’s at least create a topic.”

“???”

That’s why Kangmin was taken straight to San Diego with makeup on at the wrong time.

* * *

In fact, it’s common for movie stars to attend Comic-Con.

For a lead actor in a long series, like Robert Downey Jr., it’s safe to say that he’s been through so many that he’s almost sick of it.

But that is only when the ‘official stage’ of the ‘official event’ is set up. Would such a top-class actor be wandering around the venue, knowing that something might go wrong? This is, so to speak, a matter of common sense.

Therefore, Kang Min was able to explain the current situation relatively simply.

Dear Director, you have lost your mind.

“Hello. Are you a fan of mine?”

“Who are you… Huhuhu?”

“I think the clothes you’re wearing will fit. If not….”

“Oh, that’s right! That’s right! I’m a huge fan!”

In the auditorium where a large crowd of people was passing by, Penelope put a finger to her lips and lifted her sunglasses that were covering her face.

The woman dressed as Captain Penelope was startled, then stomped her feet, and finally jumped up and down in excitement.

“Huh, how…? Is this a hidden camera?! Then, could it be that the person next to you is…!”

“…Nice to meet you.”

“Huhhh!”

As Kang Min sighed and lowered his mask, the woman seemed to be on the verge of fainting.

“Really! Really, Captain! Richard! Kang Min…!” ─ The man who looked like a couple was comforting his girlfriend, but he himself looked clearly flustered.

Penelope smiled brightly as she looked at the two.

“picture?”

“yes!!!”

“fizzle.”

“No….”

The couple hurriedly set up their cameras.

The woman who asked to shake Kang Min’s hand had such a red face that it was hard to even see her expression properly. Her boyfriend looked at her with a slightly strange look.

Kang Min thought that he might have needlessly interrupted the couple’s cozy time.

“Well, I think it’ll be okay.”

-If you find evidence that I’m not human, you’ll arrest me and hand me over?

-Of course. To heaven. For finding my wings.

-Oh, what is it!

The participants around the couple walking far away fled like a swarm of ants next to an elephant.

… it seemed like it would be okay.

anyway.

“…penny.”

“Are you hungry? What should I eat?”

“Stop talking nonsense. Are you going to continue with this crazy thing?”

“Why? It’s effective. This is all word of mouth.”

“It’s a real miracle that we didn’t get caught even after doing this seven times. If only one post was posted on SNS right now─”

“They say that if you walk around confidently in places like this, you won’t get caught, right? Oh, there’s another one over there!”

“… … .”

Kangmin sighed softly.

Meanwhile, Penelope pretended to check the time and took out her cell phone to send a message to Director Seonryul and his friends who were following behind her.

-What just happened?

-I got it!

-Okay. Just leave it as is.

Of course, the director had an ulterior motive.

After much thought, Penelope decided that the promotional strategy that Kang Min lacked the most was a friendly image.

Rather than saying it was his fault, it was mostly because the roles he took on and the programs he appeared in were far from that kind of thing. Even in , isn’t he the image of a representative judge that all the participants find difficult?

This kind of outing-style common people’s behavior(?) will most likely appeal to the younger generation of men who are most negative about Kang Min.

The first step is always the most important.

-It seems like some kind of election image strategy!

-Similar. Please select the photos as much as possible. And also… .

-Yes, I will quickly ask questions and quickly post things while checking SNS reactions! I have also caught suspicions of people who need to be watched out for! If I’m not careful, there are also big issues that will explode!

-… … Yes, then it’s fine.

-yep!

Of course, Penelope couldn’t have only believed in melody.

She then contacted other people she had planted.

-Is business going well, boss?

-Oh, I can’t sell them because they’re gone! As the actor said, the and costumes were displayed in the most conspicuous places! Just a little while ago, even Miss Jainaine took them! It’s a shame. But the captain’s side wasn’t bad either. The character was so well-made─

-… Ah, yes. Please take care of it.

-Actually, I would have made it even if I wasn’t asked! Originally, fandom was a gift from the heavens! But I heard that you are with the vice-captain right now. If that’s true, wouldn’t you stop by just once? I also need an inspiration right now─

The director ignored the piling messages and contacted other people he had planted. The number of people had already exceeded 20.

That’s right.

Kangmin pretended that it was just a spontaneous idea, but in fact, his first visit to Comic-Con was an elaborate plan.

‘It’s impossible to persuade that person with words. It’s faster to just bury him.’

advertisement.

pictorial.

Ambassador─

Penelope’s plot to bury Kang Min in all sorts of ‘immortal’ roles to raise him to stardom was well underway. And to do that, expanding his image was essential.

The events on the fourth day of the event, as well as the current activities, were all for him.

It wasn’t easy to prepare, since it was only ten days before she received Director Henry’s opinion. However, it wasn’t that difficult for Penelope.

Of course, you can buy it with money.

-You’re doing well. I’ll give you some extra compensation.

-thank you!!

-Eat as much as you want and pay later.

-yes!!

-We will also give you a bonus based on your performance.

-Okay, I understand!

When I think about what CEO Jaylen once did to try to get Kangmin involved, I realize that blood ties are truly strong.

Of course, Penelope thought this was not enough.

-Aren’t we supposed to be suspicious of each other?

That was trust before the Emmys.

Penelope wanted to repay the trust she had received first and for all that had been shown to her during her time on The Amos Hoban Show.

And, he had the ability to do that.

It was Kang Min’s tragedy.

“Look at that! There’s more!”

“Huh… Is this really true?”

“‘Anything.’”

“I’m crazy.”

And how long has it been since everything went according to plan?

“Excuse me. Are you a fan of mine or something?”

“yes yes?”

‘Huh?’

Penelope, who had taken her seventeenth step forward, was momentarily taken aback. This was because, apart from the fact that one of them was dressed as Richard I, the other man and woman looked a little older than before.

A couple with a big age gap… that doesn’t make sense.

But if we think of them as a family that participated together, it seems so awkward for them to participate in this event together.

Usually these cases are usually landmines.

‘Should I run away…?’

Kangmin seemed to notice the hesitation and patted her on the back.

He pulled Penelope towards him and offered to shake her hand instead.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Kang Min.”

The other person also tried hard to hide his surprise and coughed in vain.

“Ah, ahem! Jack Miller! You don’t need an introduction!”

“That’s a wonderful Richard I. I think you’re doing a better job of it than I am.”

“I didn’t make it! I came here to trade used goods, but someone said they weren’t there! That’s why I took it on!”

“What great friends you have.”

“Ahem! Well, you can’t call me a friend, I’m just an acquaintance! An acquaintance! I don’t know much about this kind of thing, so…”

Mr. Miller said with emphasis, glancing sideways.

The girl next to her frowned openly, as if she was offended by that.

As time went by, Penelope found it hard to understand what was going on. She was about to pull his arm away, thinking that if she got involved in something wrong, it could cause trouble.

Kang Min gave a rare, bitter smile.

It was an expression Penelope had never seen before.

“I don’t think you need to be so careful about it, do you?”

“Uh, um?”

“My daughter is wearing clothes that she doesn’t even care about, so how can you be so picky? You’d be pouting too.”

“No, I am…!”

Mr. Miller was restless.

It was such a surprise and pleasure to meet Kang Min. I wish I could have gotten his autograph, taken a picture, and talked to him for 30 minutes about the model sword I recently acquired.

But the opponent was less oblivious than I thought.

‘Katie is acting like this because I got her WTS tickets last time! She never liked this kind of thing in the first place!’

Mr. Miller beat his chest inwardly.

His relationship with his daughter had improved a lot recently, but it was still precarious.

Mr. Miller was afraid that his daughter would think that he ‘didn’t understand’ him, and that their relationship, which had just been repaired, might go back to the way it was before.

Mr. Miller tried to keep his expression firm. It was his usual grim expression, as if he thought it was a useless thing.

But Kangmin didn’t care.

No, on the contrary, he raised his voice as if to ask who had been criticizing Penelope until now.

“Can you please take a picture over here?”

The crowd turned their heads at the sound of a familiar voice.

The eyes of those who saw the actor calmly placing a hand on Mr. Miller’s shoulder widened as they tilted their heads for a moment.

“?”

“…?”

“uh?”

“No, wait, that guy… .”

“River?! Really?!”

“oh my god!”

Eyes from all directions were focused.

In an instant, a commotion began to arise.

The jaws of the two women suddenly dropped as they found themselves at the center of the commotion.

‘… Huh?’

The director’s jaw also fell apart as his perfect plan was shattered in an instant.
