Chapter 80

I came out with a loud rejection of good conditions, but I was worried about what would happen next.

Kim Sang-il, Kwak Ki-hyuk, and Choi No-eul will also be looking forward to it.

“First of all, I need to put in a few more screenplays for film companies. NEO CEO Na-Kyung Oh also said he was interested, so I’ll talk about it. I’ll try my best and think about what’s next. You don’t have to think about the worst in advance.”

“okay. You are right.”

In my previous life, I immediately accepted the first offer of CEO Choi Gyu-jik, and I had no anxiety that if I rejected the offer, there would be no next opportunity.

So, I didn’t even think about going to another movie studio.

* * *

“No, I’m not a gangster! Even if you screw up the scenario, there is still a fountain. Does it make sense to include a gangster in this scenario? Ugh, can I just stick it to any screenplay as a real box office code?”

We had everyone gather at the laundromat to inform us of the results of our meeting with the representative of the film company, and writer Choi No-eul, who heard us, got even more excited.

“When a gangster enters, the color changes completely. And the main character is Oh Hae-soo, right? No matter how famous he is, he is an actor who has a lot of controversy over his acting skills every time he shoots a movie. Every day, in the joys and sorrows, the expressions are the same! That’s why these days, I’m not filming and I’m only shooting commercials.”

“So I declined anyway.”

At those words, Noeul Choi opened her eyes again.

“No, what if I say no and come out? Negotiation! You have to negotiate. No, have you seen such frustrating people?”

“Writer, from my point of view, they are not negotiable. They are people who pretend to listen at first, but eventually do everything their own way.”

“The PD-nim said he saw them for the first time today, so how do you know?”

Writer Choi No-eul looked at me with eyes that told me not to overlook it.

‘Well, I know it well because I’ve been through it in my previous life.’

However, unlike writer Choi No-eul, who runs all over the place, Kim Sang-il and Kwak Ki-hyuk sat silently.

“Hey, why don’t you guys say anything?”

When I asked, Kwak Ki-hyuk leaned his body forward and said.

“We have nothing to say. I feel kind of sorry.”

“what?”

Kwak Ki-hyuk and Kim Sang-il looked at Go Gun-soo with sorry faces.

“Geonsu, it’s okay if you don’t hire us because you’re overworked. It’s a good opportunity for you. I don’t think there is anything wrong with what the person who is the representative of the film company said. It is difficult for a newcomer with no experience in feature films to enter the main filming and lighting director roles for such a masterpiece.”

When Kwak Ki-hyuk said that, Kim Sang-il, who was hesitating, also helped with a word with an apologetic expression.

“Yeah, I think so too. I hope you don’t miss out on a good opportunity because of us. I think we may have other opportunities as we do. I don’t want to block your way for nothing.”

Hearing this, Koh Geon-soo got a little excited and said.

“Do you guys think this is a good opportunity?”

“Well then… … no? Because of us… … .”

“Of course not. And it’s not necessarily because of you. Hey, if you’re like you, would you cut off all your limbs and supervise as you were told?”

“that’s… … Once and later… … ”

“No more. Because the first button is important.”

Kwak Ki-hyuk and Kim Sang-il could not refute.

So did I.

First button… … .

In my previous life, I put the first button on wrong.

So my life in my previous life was like wearing a shirt with the wrong button on the first button all my life.

Of course, even if it’s late, you can come back to the beginning and start by putting the first button on properly.

But it’s easy to say, but when the situation arises, my body realizes that I am not moving, but that I am being washed away by a strong current.

No matter how hard you try, you can’t catch a single straw.

When it comes to excuses, I have nothing to say.

It’s also because I put the first button wrong.

“So. Now, what are the plans for the director and the PD?”

Writer Choi No-eul was nervous, so he sat down and bit his nails with his mouth and trembled with his legs.

“For now, wait a little bit. I also sent the scenario to NEO CEO Na-kyung Oh.”

“NEO? It’s a new film company that was converted to a production company after importing and distributing foreign films. I don’t think we can make a movie with a big budget yet.”

“It might be better. There is a high possibility that a movie company that is too big will try to control the film like CEO Choi Gyu-jik.”

I also agree with Koh Kun-soo’s statement.

A few days pass again.

Go Gun-soo got a call.

―Ahn Nam-ah, I got a call from CEO Na-kyung Oh. want to meet you?



“Really?”

– Do you have time tomorrow?

“Of course not!”

– But another problem arose. I also found out after receiving a call from CEO Na-Kyung Oh.

“What?”

―It’s okay to talk on the phone, but we’ll see each other tomorrow. I’ll send you the address. come there

“okay.”

what’s the problem?

At that time, Yongcheon opened the laundry door and said hello.

“Brother, I’m here. I will study outside while playing with Kami.”

“Oh, yes. Are not you hungry?”

“It’s okay.”

Yongcheon’s expression looked dark today.

‘What’s going on?’

I took fruits and juices from the refrigerator, took them out, and held them out in front of Yongcheon.

“Eat this.”

“Thank you.”

“But what’s going on?”

Yongcheon gently stroked Kami, then suddenly hugged her tightly, and Kami was surprised and struggled to get out.

Yongcheon, who was sad, tore the very back of the notebook, and started folding the paper.

“Why do people keep fighting? Can’t we just live happily ever after?”

“What do you mean by that? Who fought? Have you ever had a fight with Jin-ah?”

“no. My dad and Jin-ah’s sister’s mom. Because we fought today and said we would never come again.”

Hearing what he said, he seemed to know what he was talking about.

The paper that Yongcheon was folding was being completed in the shape of an airplane.

“Well, like that. Maybe tomorrow you’ll be fine as if when we fought again?”

“no. I really did it like I would never see it again. Ugh.”

“It’s all like that. buy it… … .”

I was going to say it was a love fight.

“four… … what?”

“No. anyway yes So don’t worry too much.”

“It’s because I’m nervous.”

“Fufu, child.”

Yongcheon flew a folded paper airplane into the air, which flew a little before losing power and fell.

‘A whirlwind!’

After casting the summoning spell, the sudden wind blew the paper airplane flying away with the wind again.

“Wow! Bro, did you see it? It’s the first time I’ve ever flown a paper airplane this far.”

“Yeah, Yongcheon can fly planes well.”

I looked up at the sky and saw a paper airplane flying around the world.

The next day came, and I headed to the address given by Go Geon-soo.

Although the office of the film company NEO was located in Gangnam, it was not large enough to own a building like ‘Funny Box’, and it was a small office that occupies one floor of the building.

‘It means that this film company is growing enough to buy a building on Gangnam-daero.’

We had to make this contract even for the future Go Kun-soo and us.

“Anna, I’m already here.”

Go Gun-su arrived just in time.

“Uh, are you here?”

“Let’s go upstairs and talk.”

“okay.”

In the hallway leading to the NEO office after getting off the elevator, gems of movies imported from overseas and released in Korea were hanging on the wall.

Among them, ‘Ghost’ was also one of my favorite movies that I was impressed with.

I thought that there was no hope for Korean films, so I focused only on import and distribution, but after seeing the recent trend of Korean films, I heard that Korean films have potential, so I decided to jump into production.

CEO Na-Kyung Oh seems to have an eye for choosing movies.

Since I started making films with the perspective I cultivated in that way, I would have been able to continue to publish works that have both artistic and commercial qualities.

I knocked on the office door, and someone from inside opened the door.

“Ah, it’s director Ko Kun-soo and PD Ahn Nam, right? welcome. The representative is waiting for you.”

“Yes, thank you.”

“What kind of tea would you like? Coffee, black tea, green tea, etc.”

“We’ll have coffee.”

We entered and sat down in the conference room he was guiding us.

“Sir, you will be here soon.”

“Yeah.”

Not long after, CEO Na-kyung Oh entered the conference room.

“Hello, Director Ko Gun-soo. And… … .”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

CEO Na-kyung Oh looked at me and looked as if asking who I was.

“Ah, I am temporarily serving as a producer for Director Go. My name is Ahn Nam.”

“Ah, who wrote the screenplay for that director, Go Gun-soo?”

“haha. Yes. It looks like you watched the credits well.”

“of course. You have to see the credits to say that you have seen the movie.”

At that time, the person who guided us earlier came in with coffee, and coffee and refreshments were placed in front of us.

After drinking a cup of coffee, I was surprised that it tasted better than I expected.

“Is coffee delicious? My friend imports coffee beans, so he always picks up good coffee and brings them home.”

“Ah yes. That’s awesome. it’s delicious.”

Hearing my words, Go Geon-su took a sip and opened his mouth.

“Thank you for contacting us.”

“Anyway, I thought that CEO Choi Gyu-jik liked it first, so I took a step back. But somehow, it seemed that director Ko Gun-soo would reject it.”

“Why did you expect that… … .”

“There is a feeling. fufu. Even though the late director Gunsu looks like a yes man, there are times when he is determined in strange places. He felt it after a few days in Cannes. It seems that CEO Choi Gyu-jik didn’t understand that and threw it out loud from the beginning. Still, it feels good. I feel like I have a chance.”

CEO Na-kyung Oh fully understood Ko Kun-soo.

“I enjoyed reading the script that the director sent me. Hopefully, I thought I could make a film that is close to commercial writerism like some recent Korean directors.”

“Commercial writerism?”

“Yeah. It’s a work that has all of the artistry and popularity.”

In fact, if you look at the Korean film industry recently, there are a few directors who are recognized by the public without missing out on their own world of work.

The representative directors were Bong Tae-jin, Im Jin-taek, and Park Chan-hyuk.

‘Is there a possibility of that?’

“I thought it might be possible by adding director Ko Gun-soo’s directing to this screenplay. Of course, it hasn’t been verified as a feature film yet, so I can’t say for sure. So, if you invest, you have to take a big risk. It would have been possible if it had been CEO Choi Gyu-jik, but I may not be able to receive a large amount of investment because it is difficult for me to take that risk. The casting cannot be guaranteed.”

“We are taking that into account.”

“Even if I couldn’t make it with this screenplay, I contacted the director because I thought that I would be able to leave director Ko Gun-soo. If you have a good director, you can create opportunities again.”

If you can’t make ‘Legend’, what does this mean?’

CEO Na-kyung Oh continued the conversation without hesitation.

“Because there is a problem. I also didn’t think that CEO Choi Gyu-jik would do something like this, but I was also a little disappointed.”

CEO Na-kyung Oh also made an embarrassed expression.

“what… … ?”
