The first teaser protagonist of our movie was Ellie.
Following that, there were teasers for Heavenly Yuah, me, Nam Hyun-ho, and the Half Blood group.
So in total, five of them were released, right?
Impressive for such a big production; they definitely put in a lot of effort into this side of things.
In Ellie’s teaser, most of it featured her solo combat scenes.
Whereas the Pureblood Lycanthrope was closer in form to a wolf than a human, half-human, half-beast Ellie was very much closer to human form.
The softly glowing red hair flying like a mane belonged to a Latin Beauty knocking her enemies down with a single strike, exuding an immense presence.
Her ears, tail, and fur-covered fists were soft and fluffy, evoking a strangely cute charm.
Additionally, the appropriate use of slow motion and close-ups made the combat scenes look incredibly impressive.
I remember that filming those large-scale battle scenes where Ellie excelled was incredibly intense, but seeing the final video made me realize that all our hard work wasn’t wasted.
The director is truly skilled.
“Of course, Nam Palace is Nam Palace. They’re crafty.”
While most fans were expecting Heavenly Yuah or Moon Suyeon, they hid these two and instead randomly led with Ellie, which was quite striking.
If Ellie wasn’t sufficient, it might have been another story, but watching her in action made it impossible not to be impressed.
Even from an editing standpoint, Ellie looked amazing.
She fights exceptionally well and is incredibly beautiful—definitely a stunning Latin actress.
Despite the fact that her core might be slightly wounded, her exterior is absolutely breathtaking.
“Come to think of it, the looks of Martial Forest lineage really shine, huh? Or maybe it’s because I’ve only met people who fit the bill?”
Heavenly Yuah, Moon Suyeon, Nam Hyun-ho, and Ellie.
Nam Hyun-a and Yang Yuli look quite impressive visually too.
If we gathered Martial Forest’s Five Phoenixes or Newcomers’ Seven Flowers together to form a girl group, wouldn’t they do incredibly well?
If we just secured the main vocalist, it could actually turn out to be pretty good.
“What are you looking at?”
“Ah, Yoo-a Senior. Well…”
“It’s the teaser for Ellie.”
“Yes, have you seen it?”
“Sort of.”
While I was indulging in some frivolous thoughts, Heavenly Yuah caught me from behind.
She approached excitedly, curious to know if I was looking at something interesting, only to make a weary expression when she realized it was just our movie’s teaser.
It felt somewhat amusing.
I wonder what she had expected?
“That, Yoo-a Senior. Even if you’re a man, you shouldn’t be watching strange things at a place like this.”
“…Who’s watching what?”
“It just seemed like you were expecting something.”
“No, I wasn’t.”
“It feels like you were.”
The punch surprisingly landed well.
Indeed, in Martial Forest, there was something a bit dull about this woman.
That’s why, before her ascension to Heavenly Demon status, we enjoyed teasing her in this manner while maintaining a friendly relationship.
This brings back memories.
But only up to here. If I keep teasing her, she might really get angry, so I need to back off appropriately.
“I’m about to watch the teaser for Revenge. Would you like to join?”
“Yes, but do I really need to?”
Of course, I knew how she would respond. Checking on our competition just isn’t Heavenly Yuah’s style.
Thinking of this as the typically broad-minded nature of Heavenly Yuah, I played the teaser for Revenge.
And as expected, Heavenly Yuah plopped herself right next to me and watched the teaser with great interest.
“Wow…”
“Hmm…”
Whereas our teasers were curveballs, Revenge’s teaser charged straight ahead like a fastball.
They featured their protagonist, Yoon Ju-won.
In particular, the close-up of Yoon Ju-won at the end was really cool even to me.
There’s no doubt that Yoon Ju-won is someone who cannot be overlooked.
“The atmosphere is quite dark. They’ve really captured the noir feel.”
“Exactly. Director Sun Juhong’s noir…”
“That’s impressive. Even though Director Sun Juhong usually doesn’t do noir, they’ve managed to pull it off really well. The grandmasters are truly grandmasters.”
“It is rather refreshing. Director Sun Juhong’s noir.”
Furthermore, impressively, Director Sun Juhong, who is usually far from noir-like, has managed to perfectly capture that genre’s essence.
As Heavenly Yuah said, the grandmasters really are grandmasters.
They’ve certainly ground their teeth hard if this exceeds even my expectations.
Though, I do wonder why such a great director insists on filming such strange things all the time.
In any case, artists are truly hard to understand.
“Ah, right, we received it.”
“Ah, we did?”
“Should we take the shot?”
“Yes, we should.”
“In that case, let’s start now.”
“Right now?”
“Yes, right now.”
The figures made as promotional gifts for our movie were said to have arrived today.
And they sent them here to announce a prize event through ‘Everyday, Flame.’
Now that ‘Everyday, Flame’ has become a fairly popular content, it’s far more efficient for us to introduce and announce the event rather than just posting a notice.
Since this was planned from the beginning, there was no need to delay unnecessarily.
Thus began the fifth episode of Everyday, Flame.
When the completed figures for our movie arrived, we were immediately impressed.
“Wow, this is better than expected.”
“Well, money equals quality. We must invest properly where needed.”
“Indeed…”
“When I just heard about it, I wasn’t sure, but upon seeing it in person, it’s much prettier.”
We weren’t just saying this because we were in front of the camera; the quality genuinely exceeded our expectations.
Maybe it’s because it was specially researched and produced under the supervision of Heavenly Yuah, who knows what she’s doing?
Given that these items need not consider mass production, they were clearly built without any regard for cost-effectiveness.
These were quality works that even those without special tastes could easily desire, and thus, we started introducing the items one by one.
“Look at this. This Gumiho. The nine tails are… ”
“Amazing craftsmanship. Is this hand-made?”
“I assume it is, right? You can feel the master’s touch.”
“Oh…”
“And, here’s the Lycanthrope. You’ve seen our movie teaser, right? If not, watch it now. This is from that scene. Wow, I would actually want this.”
As we introduced each item like a home shopping program, the last piece remained.
It was the oversized Jangsanbeom plush toy.
Unlike the other figures, this was a large, genuinely soft and fluffy plush toy.
The type of toy that would definitely appeal to certain individuals.
“My goodness, it’s so fluffy.”
“I actually really want one. It’s sturdy enough to cuddle while sleeping.”
“Um, can we make one more?”
“Actually, I’m considering it too.”
What? This plush doll is making two people extremely desirous.
Does it have that kind of appeal even for women?
Well, even I find this doll to be quite impressive.
It’s handsome and voluminous.
To this extent, surely anyone would covet it.
If even these two people are reacting this way, I believe we can anticipate positive responses.
“Do you think it’s meaningful?”
“Why not?”
“Hmm, there’s something…”
However, not everyone was satisfied.
Nam Hyun-ho questioned if such an item was a worthy prize.
Such foolishness!
“Cheers!!!”
“Damn, you scared me. What the hell?”
“Trust me.”
“…Alright, fine. I trust you.”
Believe it. For those who believe, blessings will come.
I have no doubt about the value of these figures.
Nam Hyun-ho, who stared with the look of “What madness is this?” simply doesn’t understand the world yet.
The world is full of things Nam Hyun-ho can’t comprehend.
While enjoying the figures again as we brushed aside the foolish Nam Hyun-ho, Moon Suyeon now raised an objection.
It was slightly different from Nam Hyun-ho’s.
Her point was that there was no figure of this drama’s lead actress, Heavenly Yuah.
“Hey, there’s no figure of Yoo-a?”
“Right, why is she missing?”
“Eh, that’s because…”
Well… heavenly Yuah’s transformation version isn’t fluffy?
No, actually, she doesn’t have a specific transformation, does she?
This is purely a marketing strategy targeted at special fans, so there’s no real reason to include Heavenly Yuah.
“Even for the sake of my fans, we must add the Heavenly Yuah figure.”
“Oh, really?”
Caught off guard on this point.
I was thinking too narrowly.
Even without being fluffy, as the lead actress, she certainly deserved her own figure.
Though Heavenly Yuah didn’t seem interested at first, after inspecting the actual items, she too seemed to want to be included.
That’s how good these products were.
Fortunately, there’s still some time until the premiere, so adding one more item isn’t a big deal.
“Succubus figures…”
There’s a slightly concerning aspect here.
What if some well-off individuals aiming for the fluffy figures end up winning a Heavenly Yuah figure and are disappointed?
That would be a real embarrassment.
“Let’s give Yoo-a’s figure a bit of a twist.”
“What kind of twist?”
“Since the base is a succubus, we could add bat wings and a heart-shaped tail?”
“If that works, I’m okay with it.”
Great, Heavenly Yuah seems to agree with that.
Bat wings + heart-shaped tail Heavenly Yuah.
This definitely has a certain charm.
Especially for Heavenly Yuah fans, they would probably be willing to pay extra just to own it.
“Good, let’s go with that.”
After all this hard work, I feel like I’ve done enough.
Adding both fluffy ones and the Succubus Heavenly Yuah makes it a truly top-class event.
“Everyone, these are all the items we’ve prepared specially for you. Please come and watch our movie!”
Even though there won’t be many people visiting the theaters for these reasons, surely those who do will shout for our movie.
Once today’s footage is released, surely people will take notice.
Looking forward to new fans visiting theaters as a result of this event.
The fifth episode of ‘Everyday, Flame’, which featured the promotional event, received better reactions than expected.
– Wow, this is insane.
– Nine-Tailed Fox Luna, Nine-Tailed Fox Luna, Nine-Tailed Fox Luna.
– All the prizes seem so attractive. I can’t deny I’m coveting them.
– I doubt I’d watch the movie multiple times for these prizes, but I will definitely go watch once.
– If I get something nice, it’s great. I’m seeing Yoo-a.
The items we prepared seem to have stimulated the fans’ collecting desires.
– But, White Siu, the guy is a bit much. He knows the sweet spots, doesn’t he?
– Bat wings and heart tail? What is this guy?
– Is he maybe in your department?
– This guy is always absurd, but upon careful review, he never says anything wrong.
– So, are you tempted?
– I cannot deny how tempting it is. Succubus Yuah.
And surprisingly, the responses to the Succubus Heavenly Yuah were better than expected.
Even not being fluffy yet, they are still considered desirable.
I must admit, I underestimated this aspect.
Apparently, the demand on this side was higher than I thought as well.
After revealing the promotional event, the secondary, tertiary, and even quaternary teasers came out in succession.
The release date was also officially determined.
Our movie’s release date is September 21.
It’s a pretty good timing with the Chuseok holiday coinciding with the release period.
“Revenge’s release date is September 18.”
Their release being 3 days earlier than ours is somewhat annoying, but this is something we have to accept.
After all, they own some theaters themselves.
“That dialogue just makes me want to retort. ‘If you’re annoyed, you know what to do,’ but how dirty, truly.”
But now there’s no more time to dwell on such thoughts.
The opening day is truly fast approaching.
