Chapter 172 – Smoke Showdown

“I know there was no schedule to meet today. It’s a bit of a sudden visit.”

Flinch.

Kobayashi slightly hardened his expression, lowering his voice.
The gorilla looks at him slightly.

Looking at this, I could see how well director Kobayashi Itsuki is doing in Japan. He’s a good guy, so he’s paying attention.
If he was a third-rate director with no achievements, there would be no reason to notice a person who just came in like that.

‘It would be convenient if it could be resolved with Kobayashi’s halo since everything is consummated as it is.’

If it had ended like that, the other side wouldn’t have been able to strain their necks like that.
It has a back belly.

“Keuheum, I think it’s really rude to come here so suddenly. However, unexpected information came in from our side.”
“…….”

Kobayashi’s expression his hardened.
It’s not always nice to have your information leaked out.

“Obviously, I know that Okui here was supposed to play the lead role in the movie we were going to shoot this time, but suddenly, an unheard-of rat came rolling in and tried to take that position.”

And then, quietly looking at me.
That’s why you call me a rat.

Oh wow, that sucks
Even though it seemed like he was talking to me openly, it was really disgusting to see him say things around the corner.
Do all adults live like this?
What is this social life?

“Whoa!”

The moment Kobayashi heard that, he felt no different from me. I let out a deep sigh that contains so much weight.
Do I have to put up with this and have a social life if I want to earn money and live?

Suddenly, the parents who raised me and her sister her safely and harmoniously up to this age feel like real gods.

“Manager Tanitake. The only thing I can say about him is that I found a better actor as a director. Besides, he’s not taken out at all, he’s being considered, and furthermore, even if he’s not the lead, he’s a supporting actor…….”
“Isn’t the promise different!”

There was a time when I thought Japanese was very soft.
Looking at it like this, it’s not like that again.
If you push hard, it sounds like a very frustrating language.

“Of course, changing his words like this after he said he would write Okui for the lead role, let alone that he is a lesser rookie! This is not polite, polite!”

…… Oh, it’s not easy.
In the end, it’s because of me. Certainly, I was just a young actor with no experience or even unproven skills.

It is a moment when it seems that only this side will be stressed if the conversation is prolonged like this.
Kim Hye-rin, who was playing next to me squashing an empty melon soda can, calmly opened her mouth.

“The fucking pig is so fucking noisy.”
“Uh?”

By the way, the words that just came out are, of course, Korean. Because there is absolutely no way to express the curse of ‘fuck’ in Japanese.

“…… You bastard, what did you say now?”

I couldn’t understand it properly because it was Korean, but people can understand the meaning to some extent just with the nuances.
The manager, who realized that he had no good intentions, tried to glar at Kim Hye-rin.
Before that, Kim Hye-rin crossed her eyes.

‘Ugh, it gives me goosebumps whenever I see it.’

As my sister-in-law says, if you think that Kim Hye-rin is just a pretty and sexy 20-year-old maid in a maid outfit or a crazy bitch who wears her maid, you are very mistaken. She was a crazy girl who couldn’t be stopped even there, of Korea’s largest violent organization, who had chosen the least Desert Eagle when she was her first birthday her.

‘What kind of eyes look like they’re going to kill people.’

The other side also appeared with a bloody spirit, but it is powerless in front of real life. Even though I have the skill to live, I am not as good as Kim Hye-rin.

“Chong-al-chong-chong-al…… It’s filthy noisy, you bastard who has scoured all your brain cells.”

This time it was in Japanese, so the other person would have understood the meaning.
Come to think of it, they said that Kim Hye-rin’s organization had many contacts with Japanese yakuza, and she is really good at Japanese.

If there’s anything different about me
If I use a lot of refined terms that often appear in anime, in Kim Hye-rin’s case, harsh words that only steamed yakuza would use come out.

“Radish……What do you mean in that way…… As long as you don’t know this etiquette…… Ok!”
“…… !”
“…… !”

Everyone couldn’t help but be amazed.
Before the manager, who was trying to rectify the situation somehow in front of the actor in charge of her, could not finish her words her, she held her tanikake with her small hand and lifted it lightly.

It’s possible because of the power of the dungeon app.
If it wasn’t for that, Hyerin Kim would have kicked that face with her kick her.

Are you happy if you are happy?

[… ] ….]

“Japan is also behind. Does your mouth hurt after talking all day? In the end, all you guys are saying is keep your promise. Don’t bullshit After all, if a movie is fun, it’s good, right? The director over there says that my master can make the movie a little more interesting. What qualifications do you have? Are you making a movie?”

It’s been a really crazy year.
After all, there is no woman so reliable when she is on my side. Sometimes, her heart breaks even this way because of her tendency to run away without looking back.
Still, Kim Hye-rin was able to openly say things that were difficult to say openly.

“If you choose, you bastards, why don’t you test yourself to see who suits you better?”
“Yes?”

I wish I had just finished it.
I was a little taken aback when I saw Kim Hye-rin who dared to lead the match.
Hey, Hyerin Kim?

“Cheuk, heck…… An acting contest? Wait a minute Mr. Okui, what would you like to do?”

After escaping from Kim Hye-rin’s clutches, Tanitake lost her momentum at once. I ask cautiously as if I would be protected by the actor right next to me.
Then, Okui, the actor who had been quietly observing the situation, opened his mouth.

“It’s an acting match, it’s good. This has been working in this industry for 10 years already. There’s no way I’m going to lose to someone from Korea who has no experience. Rather, if you look at the game with that, you can admit that each other is clean.”

The words are very plausible, but look at the expression.
It’s obvious that they accept the fight with the confidence that I will never beat them.

Definitely not wrong
No matter how talented you are, even if you secretly practiced.
It is almost impossible for a guy with no career experience to beat an actor who is already doing well.

It was not for nothing that geniuses had time to learn with famous people as their teachers.

But there was something these guys didn’t know.

[Your acting skill is currently level 4.]

The fact that I have a dungeon app right away.

“Okay, it’s neat, so if we can make a decision, let’s see the acting match.”

There was nothing to lose in this either.
I was very disappointed with the live-action movie, but there must be people like me back then. I didn’t want to give that person the same experience as me.

If that’s the case, I’d rather make and show the best live-action film.
That I can show enough in real life.

* * *

“Hmm.”

These days, it seems like a faint moan of ‘Hmm’ comes out of my mouth often.
It has to be.

“…… Are there so many gatherings?”
“Yes, the production cost for this time is by no means small. As I said before, the work is the work. In addition, there is a little pressure to do well because the government supports it. This live-action film will change the image of live-action films often produced in Japan. And you are at the forefront, Donghyun!”
“Hmm.”

Mr. Kobayashi.
So your words are always plausible but long.

And what I keep grumbling about.

“At least 300 people?”
“Will it be more than that?”

No, wasn’t this usually a case of about 5 people holding the weight with the main person in charge sticking out?
Suddenly, as many as 300 people came and looked at them with curious eyes, as if they were watching monkeys in a zoo, and their hearts raced. No matter how much I repeatedly risked my life in the dungeon, that trembling was different from this trembling.
When I suddenly entrusted the presentation to Jinta, who always sat in the back seat and played mobile games, it was no different from trembling without saying a word properly.

“The person over there is Mr. Mahune of the special effects, and there is Mr. Shiwasu of the CG team, and also the production department, simultaneous recording, sound director, special costumes, and makeup…….”

That’s a lot, really.
I’m so nervous right now I can’t even hear it, so shut up. By the way, there were also quite a few Koreans.

“Haha, there are so many talented people among Koreans. However, in Korea, people like that are not used well. Everyone came over to Japan.”
“Well….”

It’s kind of heartbreaking, though.
As a result, I have nothing to say because I came to Japan to shoot a movie that I would never have filmed in Korea.

“Hu, so what kind of acting are you doing?”
“Of course it is action. It would be okay to use a stuntman, but I personally don’t want to use a stuntman for this movie. That’s why I needed you all the more. Do you know the movie Top Con? The main character out there…….”
“Tom Kruse?”
“You’re right. Obviously, even if I use a stuntman, it doesn’t show much these days, but nevertheless, because I don’t use a stuntman, I want to give the audience a different, subtle impression. Even more so, isn’t it impressive that it’s a live-action adaptation of the original anime? You know, Donghyun? You would know.”
“…….”

Shiver.

Tears flowed from my eyes for the first time at Kobayashi’s heated argument.

“I understand, keuheuk.”

Yeah, no one else would have understood.
But I understand.

My heart beat at the time when life was no fun, the mid-highlight of Sox Ard Online, and the first appearance of Lee Do-ryu.
The emotion that made me shed tears while watching countless famous scenes in Hero Academy!

“…… You’re right. I want to convey that impression to everyone. I don’t want to ruin that feeling just because I made it live. I’ll do it, Coach Kobayashi!”
“I only believe in you, Donghyun.”

Kobayashi and I held our hands tightly and burned the heat.
Meanwhile, I wonder if Okui, who prepared this work before me, decided to perform in front of the audience first.
Even in a gathering of over 300 people, Okui calmly stands in the center.

I was also one of the spectators watching him.

‘Okay, show me once.’

To be honest, I don’t have any ill feelings towards that person or look down on him. Really, if that person acts much better than me, or if the live-action character and the synchro go well, I was confident that I would yield in a gentlemanly way.

By the way…….

“Breath of Destruction Chapter 1, Pacheon!”
“…….”
“…….”
“…….”

…… You can’t do that, you fucking bastard.

I really can’t do it to the point where I want to give my head a freeway.
With that kind of skill, did you dare to take on the lead role in a live-action movie where you have to worry about whether it will be a box office success even if you bring in a Hollywood actor worth 50 billion won?

You fell behind

“You are not an otaku. That’s acting that would work in a normal movie. I will show you what the main character of animation is.”

Saying that, I left Okui behind and stood in front of everyone.
