Chapter 171 – Live Action Film
Live action film.
As a type of media mix, it is now common to refer to a movie in which content such as animation, comics, and novels are made by real people taking on roles.
‘Ah, let’s go!’
Unknowingly, I almost came out with a curse word in Korean.
[… ] … ?]
Yeah, someone might react like a dungeon app.
No, why do otaku react so violently to the live-action adaptation? He said that it would be nice if his favorite anime was made into a live action film.
Of course, there are people who like it.
But I will speak my mind.
Because he was an otaku, he hated the live-action version even more.
To put it bluntly, live action is the tomb of animation.
…… Is there a word
‘Cosplay is fine.’
To be honest, cosplay was a part where everyone could laugh empty-handedly and move on, even if they lacked a bit of skill or showed some ugliness.
But it wasn’t live-action.
A cosplay sex AV video is a hundred times better. There is nothing more fucked up than a live-action movie made with serious suck.
It makes no sense at first.
Characters appearing in animations come out with basically ridiculous specs or personalities in order to attract the public’s attention.
But what about recreating it in real life?
‘Kaak, twi.’
No matter how advanced CG, graphics, and editing technologies are, it is absolutely impossible to reproduce them satisfactorily.
To put it bluntly, it’s hard to draw it into an animation, so a huge number of artists have to stick to it and change their wrists.
Does it make sense
Much less
“…… It’s a live-action film, and from the moment I hear that, I get a little anxious. I think you drink too much kimchi soup. If I am confirmed as a lead or supporting actor, how much do you expect to pay?”
Why am I suddenly saying this without any manners?
Most of the purpose of live-action films, which are often made by bringing copyrights of cartoons, is now to hit the lottery using the cheapness of copyrights.
No, I don’t think everyone has thought about it at least once.
Kang X’s Alchemist, Jin X’s Giant, and so on.
About why they don’t know how to give up even though they know they’re going to fail in the middle of the day, and continue to make fucking live-action movies in the movie market.
I know because I’m too dumbfounded and I’ve personally investigated it.
The reason for this was the ‘cheapness of copyright’.
So, using cheap copyrights, they are trying to win an unexpected lottery with only the name value of popular cartoons.
In fact, the number of successful films that did so was not small.
However, most of the successful films were films close to modern times. In other words, these are movies that don’t feel awkward even if real characters act.
Even though it may have brought the publication rights of the manga, it is natural even if you do not know that it is a cartoon.
The problem now is when you bring in the publishing rights of comics that can never be achieved in real life, such as OneX and DX Gonball, and make a live-action adaptation.
So, I’m not really lying anymore, but should I say it’s the feeling of running into lava knowing it’s going to suck?
“Haha…… Judging by the reaction, Mr. Kim seems to know what a live-action film feels like.”
“As I said before, I’m an otaku…… When I said that my favorite anime was made into a live-action film, I think I was a middle school student at the time. I gave 8,000 won and saw it in person with a morning breakfast ticket. I will never forget the shock of that time.”
It’s real.
Animation, in a way, is like a benefactor who made me who I am today. So, as a middle school student at the time, I still can’t forget the shock of watching a live-action film that I invested a lot of money and precious time into.
It’s not a lie, I almost shed tears during the 80 minutes of the movie.
I wondered if I could make it this far.
Would I feel that way if my trusted best friend suddenly stabbed me in the back?
“You’re right. In fact, most people have a negative perception of live-action filming. But that doesn’t mean anything if you just give up. A live-action film is also a piece of content, and Japan wants to let the world know about it as well.”
“…….”
“That’s why the country has provided quite a bit of support this time as well.”
Kobayashi seemed quite proud of his country. But that doesn’t mean he’s ignoring Korea.
Rather, it’s not that I’m ignoring you, so you called me.
“The country also trusted and entrusted it to me, but if you are going to make it, shouldn’t you produce the best result? In that sense, Mr. Kim, you are exactly what I needed. As far as I know, Korean S-class actors usually earn 700,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (800,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,08,080,08,000,00,000,00,000,000,000,000,08 of in their appearances of an actor, in their film appearances,” He said.
“…….”
“If we ever sign a contract with you, that much money. I am willing to pay at least 70 million yen. This will also be written in the contract, so you can check it if necessary.”
“…… !”
70 million yen!
Roughly, if you calculate that 1 yen is 10 won, it was a whopping 700 million won. Besides, filming doesn’t just end there.
If it is a box office success, there will be merits such as advertisements coming in from here and there.
The problem is that it’s a live-action movie, shit.
“Because it’s a Japanese movie, even if you know the damn thing, it’s completely outdated mentality that only Japanese should appear. Now the world is moving fast. In the midst of this, if you insisted on the conservative way of the island nation, Japan will only become more and more isolated. Use competent people appropriately. Isn’t that the way to survive in the 21st century?”
No, so why is it a live-action film?
I sighed, but on the other hand, I vaguely understood why this opportunity had come to me.
Since this is a live-action film, the opportunity rolled in for me as well.
Kobayashi directly contacted me just by cosplaying at the cosplay competition and posting on social media.
‘Ha, that’s right.’
If it had been called a masterpiece like a movie that had 10 million viewers in Korea, would I have been called? No matter how much I became great in many ways thanks to the power of the dungeon app, would film directors around the world know that?
‘Yeah, life couldn’t have been that easy.’
I don’t know if I got a dungeon app and treated me too special without knowing it.
“Live-action film,haha…….”
Oh, I think I’m going to lose my mind.
The shock is enormous as it was so loud at such a young age. But, on the other hand, it was even more so because I was shocked.
In a way, I thought that it would not be bad to create a good work with my own hands and throw off the shock and prejudice that was engraved at the time.
There are definitely works that I enjoyed watching without knowing that they were actually live-action works.
“…….”
However, playing an anime character.
No matter how many times I think about it, it still doesn’t feel real.
“…… I don’t know if I can do as well as the director expects, but if I can, I want to do my best. What is your work?”
“It is the most popular youkai blade in the world right now.”
“OMG……”
It was a work that deserved support from the country, and director Kobayashi also deserved to grind his teeth. If you’re an anime fan, you’ve probably heard it at least once, even if the genre isn’t your favorite. No, even if you’re not an otaku, it’s a trending work you’ve probably heard of or seen.
For a work of that level, it was worth pouring money on, and furthermore, there was a reason to make a good work in the end.
If you use such good materials and still produce shit-like results, it is tantamount to embarrassing Japan as a result.
“As much as that level of work, it makes sense to react more sensitively.”
“No, that’s a story you don’t really need to understand. As a Japanese citizen, it is very funny to say such a thing, but I also like to show affection and loyalty to my country to some extent. I get very excited when I actually support Japan at the World Cup or Olympics.”
“Me too.”
“But that is it, and this is this. Making a movie is not a fight between countries, but to show the best results to many people. It’s also ridiculous to put feelings between countries into it.”
The more you talk, the more you will know.
Kobayashi was an ‘artist’.
What it means is that you are a person who can take a little criticism or hardship as long as you can produce the best results.
But, are other people like that?
‘It’s not easy.’
If it’s a youkai blade, it’s a work that goes well in Japan.
At the same time, it was an anime that saved the feeling of Japan well.
Both the lead and supporting characters are attractive animations. How many people would be willing to accept that a Korean would pay a huge amount of money for an appearance, and if a rookie actor were to act?
‘…… It’s almost like starting on Hell difficulty.’
No, this wasn’t a real lie, it was a story no different from making an oasis in the desert.
Not to mention the people who work here, except for Kobayashi, don’t seem to be on my side at all.
“There is only you. Mr. Kim! I beg you, although the difficult process will be with you…… Can you take responsibility for this movie with me?”
However, because this person is an artist.
Is it because you believe in me with so much confidence…… I am attracted to leaving money or anything like that. It was in need of money in the first place.
[Equipment Shop]
@Sacred knight’s one-handed sword – 10,000,000 won
@Sacred knight’s one-handed shield – 10,000,000 won
@ Complete Armor of Holy Knight – 10,000,000 (10 million) won
@ Berserker Equipment Upgrade Voucher – 10,000,000 won
@Shadow Queen’s combat uniform – 10,000,000 (10 million) won
At least you shouldn’t have to match the equipment of the girls who enter the dungeon with me.
“There is no right answer in this world, but I still want Director Kobayashi’s confidence to be the right answer.”
“Thank you.”
Literally.
There is no right answer in this world. Just listening, as I said before, the person who said that they are bringing in the advertisements and sponsorships that were trying to use Japanese actors instead of me, even for commerciality or direction only in Japan, is correct.
Kobayashi, who saw more potential in me, could have been the answer.
Anything can be the result theory, but if you want to carry out your will, you have no choice but to prove it with the result.
“In that sense, Donghyun-ssi, I think a gateway that can be said to be the first will come soon.”
When we decide to share our will, Kobayashi finally calls out his name.
“By the way, you can just call me director from now on. Because I intend to keep pushing you to the end. I’m sure there’s no one more suited to this film than you, or even to the live-action version. So let’s do it, we.”
Kobayashi is good at saying things that make chicken skin grow. But since I heard it in Japanese, it’s not as awkward as I thought.
If I had said that in Korean, I would have twisted my arms and legs.
By the way, the ordeal is coming right away? This is the moment I want to tilt my head.
“Miss Kobayashi!”
As soon as the elevator doors open.
Someone wants to call Kobayashi roughly, and then two Japanese people approach. One was a gorilla that looked like a rice cake stick, and the other was a handsome man who looked good even to a man.
“Welcome, Mr. Okui. And that manager, Mr. Tanitake.”
I knew it the moment I saw Kobayashi’s expression as he greeted those two.
Oh, these people are trials?
Fuck….
