Returner’s Magic Laundry

A few months later, on the day of the VIP premiere of the movie 'Legend'.

He had finished filming for six months and had cranked it up, and the post-production work was finished, and the movie was about to be released in a few days.

“Gunsoo has suffered. I think the movie came out really well.”

"Thanks. Isn't that empty?"

“Hey, did you see me empty-handed that I’m a friend? When you first started writing a short screenplay, you almost cried when you heard what I said.”

When I saw the draft of 'Secret House' written by Ko Kun-soo, I only said one word.

- Guryeo!

Ko Gun-soo, shocked by those words, had his facial muscles move freely.

It was like a muscle tremor just before crying.

“Hey, why are you talking about that? sloppy. So, okay. You don’t say empty words.”

“It wasn’t empty, it was really good. The directing is good, the actors acting... … In particular, I was very impressed with Shin Se-yeon's acting. I think it shows the girl crush properly.”

“Girl Crush? What is it?"

I used this new word of the future again.

“It just means that she’s a pretty girl.”

“This kid keeps saying things he’s never heard of.”

“The late Director Gunsu?”

We turned our heads at the sound of someone calling, and there stood a woman our age smiling and a man with a camera.

"Ah yes."

“Are you scheduled for an interview before the premiere today?”

"Ah yes. I heard a story.”

“Can I go to a quiet place for an interview? I don’t have time, so please do it simply.”

“Yes, it is.”

Go Geon-su and I exchanged glances, and they left.

I was fiddling with the ticket to enter the theater, but CEO Na-Kyung Oh approached me.

“Annam, where have your friends gone?”

“Oh, sir, are you here? Everyone went in first. How are you feeling? It was the first film I made.”

On the face of CEO Oh Na-kyung, a tense aura was evident.

“The movie is very good. It’s a great feeling to see a work that has both artistic and popular qualities as my first work.”

But in the middle of the conversation, a sigh was mixed.

“But the expression doesn’t seem like that?”

“The actors are all newbies, so I couldn’t get a lot of theaters. ‘Funny Box’ is also releasing a movie on the same day this time.”

“A ‘child of God’? I heard a story. It was originally a week later, but it was suddenly pulled out.”

“Yeah, I must have thought that there is a better chance of winning a movie with ours than with a Hollywood movie coming out next week.”

“Don't worry too much. It will be fine.”

“How can you not worry? The opposite movie actor is Hwang Woo-jin. performance check. The trash script is also Hwang Woo-jin, who is said to come out as a masterpiece if he plays it. The actor we met is Hwang Woo-jin.”

It seemed like I was blaming myself for putting Hwang Woo-jin out of the casting.

“I know it well, even if I don’t emphasize it that much.”

Contrary to the reaction that CEO Oh Na-kyung hopes for, she smiles and beats her chest as if frustrated.

“Anyway, we ended up opening fewer theaters than we had originally planned. ‘Child of God’ or something is being screened full-time all day at a Korean multiplex.”

“The movie is word of mouth. It will run backwards. The beginning may be small, but the end will be great.”

“Why is Annam so at ease? You have invested a lot.”

“It is because there is a place to believe.”

“What is it? I know a little too. I also want you to feel a little more comfortable. Oh, really. I can't go back to the future."

Seeing CEO Oh Na-kyung even say such things, I think she was really frustrated.

“Let me know what that corner of my mind is so that I can feel a little more comfortable.”

When I heard a voice that seemed to be scraping cement with sandpaper, I turned around and saw Teacher Baek and people from Gangnam.

“Oh, you’re here.”

Baebok people were the people who left the laundry at our house.

All of them are valuable customers to me, who have paid large sums of money through annual contracts.

“I thought you wouldn’t come, but everyone did.”

“How much money have you invested in this film? Let's see if it's well made."

“No, you bought the apartment without seeing it, but why the movie… … ?”

“My fund manager is worried about me. It was said that our film was ruined by being pushed by other films. That's why you didn't listen to him. It's crazy to shake the back of my head."

“Because you only trust me.”

“Nothing has gone well yet, so what are you going to believe?”

“Then you did the test… … .”

“I did. So I invested in this film. I just came to check the real thing. I'll have to see with my own eyes whether it's well made or not. If it's worth it, throwing out some of this money won't hurt you. What matters is the future.”

Baek looked back at the people in the stomach as if he had obtained consent.

Then the lady in her wide-brimmed hat stepped forward at her captain's feet and said:

“Us, well, everything that Mr. Baek invests in is O.K. You've never been wrong before. Ho Ho."

When her wife laughs, the wives behind her also laugh.

“Did you hear that? Don't look at us like we came to borrow money, we're investors. Can I go this way?”

"Ah yes. Ah, this is Na-kyung Oh, the representative of the production company who made ‘Legend’.”

Upon introduction, CEO Na-Kyung Oh greeted me.

"Good morning. I've always wanted to see you, but I haven't had a chance."

“Oh, this is the representative. Let's go see a movie later and talk. My legs hurt from standing for a long time.”

"Yeah."

Teacher Baek went into the theater with her wives.

“It’s amazing. I've heard a lot of rumors about Mr. Baek. It's not easy to meet, so how did you do it?"

“Are you from my neighborhood?”

"Ah… … Somehow. I want to move to that town too.”

“You'd better hurry. Our global real estate is booming right now.”

"Oh right. It's a neighborhood that's often on TV these days. It used to be a bleak and unseen neighborhood, but it has turned into a natural farm. That the environment is so good.”

"of course. Who lives in the neighborhood?”

“Oh, I heard that coffee shop is also famous.”

“Ah, it’s called ‘Forest’, so if you come late, there’s no seat.”

“Eh, what kind of coffee do you want to sell? I'll have to go see it too.”

“Don’t come.”

"why?"

“There are too many foreigners these days, so the neighborhood is very noisy.”

"I beg your pardon?"

“Haha, that’s a joke. Come in.”

Now we're really about to go in, and someone's voice catches our footsteps.

“Isn’t this CEO Na-kyung Oh and producer Ahn Nam?”

familiar voice.

When I turned around, as expected, CEO Choi Gyu-jik was standing there.

“Uh, why did you come here? I thought you were busy with movie releases.”

CEO Gyu-jik Choi, who shakes hands when CEO Na-kyung Oh reaches out her hand.

The face he had apologized to for stealing the scenario from Go Geon-soo had already disappeared and was a proud expression.

“It’s a competitor, so you can’t miss it.”

“You take care of our rubbish, I don’t know where to put myself.”

CEO Gyu-jik Choi turned his attention to the poster of ‘Legend’ next to him.

“It’s crap. There were rumors that the movie was good.”

"really?"

Representative Oh Na-kyung, who is half-colored and has round eyes.

On the other hand, CEO Choi Gyu-jik raises one corner of his mouth and smiles.

“Like the films that CEO Oh has imported so far, it has only artistic quality and may not be a box office success. You know it too. What will happen to these new and unheard-of actors? Investors don’t just look at casting and invest.”

CEO Na-Kyung Oh's expression turned cold.

Then yes.

CEO Choi Gyu-jik, who can't see how things are going well, personally went out to see how things went wrong.

It is said that it is better to do it right in front of you than to do it from afar.

When CEO Na-Kyung Oh did not respond, CEO Gyu-Jik Choi passed us and headed for the theater.

“Come to me later if you need money. It's not a lot of money, but I think I can invest 1 or 200 million won. If they make a good low-budget movie, they go to film festivals and get a lot of awards. Hahaha."

Even if you say it, it's pretty stupid.

“Now go in. Don’t worry about those words.”

Na-kyung Oh, with her head bowed and motionless.

“Are you crying?”

When he placed his hand on her shoulder, Sir Ona suddenly raised his head.

“Why am I crying? with this kind of thing. If it doesn't work out this time, I think it'll work out next time, so I'll have to throw money in that face to feel better."

He could see the blood disappearing from his lips.

“It’s fine, so why are you doing this? Maybe by the day before the release, you'll know what I'm talking about."

"That's Okay. stop comforting me I guess I just made a good piece of art, huh?”

Representative Oh Na-kyung, who walks in.

Shrugging his shoulders, I followed him in.

There was a stage greeting from Go Gun-soo and the actors.

I saw it in the middle of filming, but today was the first day I saw it until post-production was completed.

It was a VIP premiere, but the audience seats were sparsely and often empty.

Many actors and movie officials were invited, but it seemed that the new actors did not attract attention because the film was produced by a new film company that had just started production.

The VIP premiere of Funny Box's 'Child of God' movie was also said to be today, so everyone must have flocked to it.

Nevertheless, seeing CEO Choi Gyu-jik in this place, I could tell what kind of person that person was.

It's more fun to see people who don't belong.

There were only a few cameras by reporters taking pictures of Go Gun-soo and the actors.

The spectators were also unfamiliar with the director and actors, so they had a sad expression on their faces.

-Hey, why did you come here to see ‘Child of God’?(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

- I lost the event win. However, this work was won as soon as I applied for the event. It's free, so just check it out.

- Do you think it's all free?

- Just look. I like the actor Han Yoo these days.

-I want to see a movie featuring Hwang Woo-jin!

- Pay the money. this year.

The murmur of the audience could be heard.

The movie starts and the lights go out.

one hour and fifty minutes.

The movie is almost two hours long, and it can be boring at times.

This is not a gangster movie I made in my previous life, but a film that combines commercial and artistic qualities.

So the movie I had been waiting for was now unfolding before my eyes.

‘Child, why did you make it so well?’

The movie was a series of emotions.

The action fell so well as the action, and the detailed direction drew us to the screen.

The audience, who grumbled about what a nonsense movie was, was watching the movie with their breaths taken.

The sound of popcorn rustling was also gone.

climax.

The scene in which the main character Hanyu took his own life and was reborn as an emotionless undead for revenge was both exhilarating and sad.

But it wasn't even a new wave of forced tears.

For one hour and fifty minutes, the film swung nonstop in the hearts of the audience on the screen.

Until the end credits went up, no one woke up and felt the afterglow.

Credits go up and applause pours in.

A cold drop of water fell on my hand.

It was tears.

I quickly wiped away the tears with my hands, but the surroundings were already filled with squeaks.

- Oh, it's so much fun.

-What. Why did you make this so well? Why is Hanyu acting so well?

- I want to see you again.

- Two hours? But why did it end so quickly?

- I didn't notice the passing of time.

It was the opinion of the audience leaving the theatre.
