    Chapter 238


    Boom!


    Boom!


    The cookie video ended and the Shadowman OST started playing.


    White letters appeared on the black screen.


    [Ryan Will]


    [Evan Block]


    [Seo-jun Lee]


    [Richelle Hill]


    [Swalin Annum]


    The names of the director, actors, and staff disappeared one by one, but the audience could not leave their seats.


    Sniffles could be heard here and there, and some closed their eyes and enjoyed the Shadowman OST.


    Their eyes were also red.


    Lee Miyeon and Park Seonga wiped their tears, regretting not bringing tissues.


    Do you think there are more cookie videos?


    Hmm. I dont think so. Even if there are, they probably have nothing to do with the Shadowman series.


    Thats true.


    Lee Miyeon and Park Seongas voices were low.


    They would probably feel the end of the Shadowman series that they had been following for a long time when the ending scroll was over and the lights in the theater turned on.


    They liked the ending.


    They couldnt think of any other ending that would be better.


    They were satisfied enough, but they felt sorry that the Shadowman series was over.


    Thats why they didnt want to get up from their seats.


    Ill watch it again, but I want to stay until the end for now.


    Me too.


    Eventually, when the last logo of Marine Corps appeared on the ending scroll, the audience got up from their seats.


    Everyone had a bittersweet expression on their faces.


    ***


    The people who were waiting for Shadowman 3 were excited to see the audience from the previous show coming out.


    We watched Shadowman when we were in eighth grade, right? I never thought we would watch the same movie until now. I wonder how it ended.


    Well, its a hero movie, so maybe its a happy ending?


    For whom?


    For Jin Natra? Or for Shadowman?


    Kim Suhan scratched his cheek at his friends question.


    Both would be nice, but it would be hard, right?


    The hero and the villain had conflicting goals.


    He wondered how he would have unfolded the story if he were in charge.


    Kim Suhan, an aspiring movie director, was lost in thought.


    Oh. Theyre coming out.


    The audience started to come out of the theater.


    The next shows audience, of course, but also those who had to watch other movies because of the sold-out tickets, and even the theater staff, all looked at one place.


    Is this another crying challenge?


    It wasnt like Shadowman 1 where they cried out loud, but they all came out of the theater with sniffles.


    Strangely enough, unlike the crying challenge where only 10% cried, most of them had red eyes.


    It doesnt seem like theyre crying because theyre sad.


    Kim Suhan tilted his head as he was sensitive to peoples expressions due to his job.


    No, there seemed to be some sadness, but also satisfaction and emotion.


    Their expressions were too complex to define with one word.


    Hey. Lets go in.


    Yeah, okay.


    Kim Suhan stopped looking at peoples faces and moved his feet at his friends call.


    His friend smiled and said.


    But it seems like the ending was good, right?


    Yeah. No one seems angry.


    He was glad it wasnt a cliffhanger.


    ***


    [Shadowman 3 pre-booking rate, 97.7%!]


    [Shadowman 3 pre-booking, over 2.1 million tickets sold, breaking records!]


    [Shadowman 3 opens today! What will be the opening score?]


    Moviegoer laughed at the unexpected Nth battle and continued his review.


    Next, lets look at the action scenes. The CG was great, but the stunts were also realistic, right? Actor Seo-jun Lee was amazing, of course. Hes good at sports, so maybe thats why he learned so fast in just a month from October when he left for the US to November when they cranked in?


    -He could be a national representative for anything


    -I know someone who said Seo-jun is really good at sports


    -Hes also good at acting, so its hard to take him out


    -Jin Natra was so terrifying that I was scared even though I didnt do anything wrong


    -22 I couldnt breathe. I was afraid he would be annoyed by my breathing.


    -Why are you being polite


    -Are the reporters okay?


    -I was worried about them flying away when I saw them.


    From what I heard, it was an amazing shooting with no injuries more than any other movie. There might be a new jinx among the stuntmen called death in the US. There are pictures of Seo-jun and the director, actors, and stuntmen bowing to the death scene.


    -Death


    -Seo-jun promoted Joseon Annals last time This time its death


    -Hey, is that Korean guy Jin Natras stuntman?


    Yes. Hes Jin Natras stuntman, Kim Jaeyeon. He did all the scenes where Jin Natra was attacked.


    -Wow. Really?


    -I thought I could tell Seo-juns double.


    -22 Seo-jun has a unique vibe.


    Yes. To be honest, I thought so too. You mean the vibe of his character, not Seo-jun, right?


    - Evilness? Jin Natras own vibe. Theres something like that.


    -Thats why I was worried when I heard about the stuntman It was a needless worry!


    Moviegoer nodded his head.


    I couldnt tell where they used a double. Throughout the movie, there wasnt a single moment when he wasnt Jin Natra. I would like to tell Kim Jaeyeon to try acting.


    -Right. He seems like he can act well.


    -He would succeed if he could act like that.


    They talked about Kim Jaeyeon for a while and Moviegoer returned to his review.


    -Why didnt he go to the underground temple right after the forced succession?


    He probably needed some time to make Tul Natras shadow completely his own. If he moved recklessly, he would have self-destructed before his plan was completed. And thanks to the long time it took, Jin Natra was able to appear in a formidable way.


    -He was no joke from when he came down the stairs.


    -The real villain


    -His shoes were scary too


    -But I couldnt take my eyes off him. I kept looking at him.


    A villain who is bad but attractive. I did too. How did you feel when Korea came out?


    When Korea became the topic, the chat room exploded.


    Everyone poured out their feelings when Korea came out in the chat.


    Moviegoer read the fast-rising comments quickly.


    -I cheered from when the subtitles appeared on the screen! Of course, in my mind


    -I was so excited when it was marked on the map!!


    -My company collapsed


    -Oh. Me too I went to work every day saying it would go bankrupt, and it really did


    -But it was close when the spaceship fell.


    Ah. I know. I was nervous that it would fall on King Sejongs statue or Admiral Yi Sun-shins statue.


    -I clenched my fist when it fell next to King Sejong


    -22 My heart dropped.


    -They dont seem to destroy important buildings in movies.


    -Gwanghwamun, which was in the front, was fine too.


    -The stone steps were swept away and the wall collapsed, but the Geunjeongjeon building was pretty intact.


    It seems like they adjusted it a bit for the Korean audience, even though the content was about alien invasion. If you look at Redbone 2, where New York was destroyed


    Moviegoer and the viewers shook their heads as they recalled the miserable New York.


    It would have hurt my heart if Gwanghwamun and Geunjeongjeon were destroyed too.


    -But it was kind of funny that the spaceship fell next to King Sejong.


    -Why??


    Moviegoer blinked his eyes and waited for the next comment.


    -King Sejong encouraged science and astronomy research, right? Dont you wonder what he would have said if he saw a spaceship?


    -Maybe he would have extracted alien technology.


    -He would have written a lot of books too.


    -??? : Welcome to Joseons palace stranger


    -??? : Oh ho. Is this Natras ship?


    -Natra


    -The feeling changes with just one vowel change


    Moviegoer and the viewers burst out laughing at Natra.
