Returner's Magic Laundry

Chapter 84

“Maybe again… … ?”

“No, it’s not like that. To be honest, Koh’s colleagues still lack a lot of experience. This is not a club, and it is difficult to use it as a main in a movie where a large amount of money is to be invested. Instead, I plan to create a place under talented directors, so I hope you can learn a lot. Can you understand that?”

Go Gun-soo and I looked at each other.

After exchanging glances of tacit agreement, we nodded.

“By the way, are you going to continue?”

“No, I want to remain an investor, not a PD. The PD should be more professional. I will go back to the laundromat and focus on my main job.”

I’ve already told Go Gun-soo.

“That’s a bit sad. I was just in love with it. So you can’t see me anymore?”

“Is it possible? I will be an investor in this film.”

At my words, CEO Na-Kyung Oh widened her eyes.

“Then are you planning to invest in Koh’s new feature film?”

“Yeah.”

“i See… … However, we do not personally accept investments. I think it would be better to establish an investment association or join an existing investment association. When I personally invest, there are a number of problems… … ”

“I think the CEO should open the way.”

“Yeah?”

“Yes, I know there are a lot of funds these days that manage funds by gathering a small number of investors. Wouldn’t that be all right?”

In fact, NEO, a film company, opens the way for individual customers to invest in movies, unlike the existing investment practice after more than a decade.

Up until this point, individual investors could only invest in movies through crowdfunding or something like that.

In fact, ‘Heaven’, which was released in 2011, had a return on investment of well over 200%, and a fund created by a small number of investors who invested 1.6 billion won in this film was a jackpot.

Anyway, I will continue to invest in the films I will make on NEO in the future.

‘Because we all know which movies are going to be a hit.’

At my words, CEO Na-Kyung Oh seemed to be surprised for a moment.

“I never thought of that. I’ve never had an investment like that before. Can you wait a little bit for now? I’m thinking of putting a scenario in an existing investment company. If not, you will have to get a personal investment.”

“Yeah. However, in my opinion, it will not be easy to get an investment. Who would invest in a new director in a new company? If it’s Choi Gyu-jik, it’s different.”

CEO Na-Kyung Oh was taken aback by my words.

That was the reason why I went to Gyu-Jik Choi from ‘Funny Box’ rather than NEO from the beginning.

I needed the power of Choi Gyu-jik to receive a large amount of investment.

To be honest, I thought that Choi Gyu-jik would make another offer if Goh Geon-soo refused, but he made the worst choice.

CEO Na-kyung Oh, who had been silent for a while, spoke again.

“I got stabbed. However, it has been a long time since I ate here. I don’t jump into things that are not even possible without thinking.”

‘Is that so?’

Let’s remember NEO’s first work.

He jumped into the movie market with great momentum, but his first film was rolled up nicely.

It was a film that did not want to lose its dignity rather than money, regardless of whether the work was good or bad.

You must have often heard praise for importing good works through existing imports and distributions, so you must have thought that making a film for commercial success as your first film was a bit lacking.

Of course, it was a movie with great artistic quality that all the audiences who saw it gave 10 out of 10, and as the gangster movies quickly disappeared from the screen, they even started a campaign to save the audience.

It maintained its dignity, but investors had to bear the same amount of loss.

Shocked by this, CEO Na-Kyung Oh announced the next work with both commercial and artistic qualities, maintaining the jackpot and dignity.

It can be said that he is a great person, and this was a major reason why I wanted to sign a contract with CEO Na-kyung Oh.

“Then put it in an investment company and let me know the result later. I plan to prepare myself.”

“Yeah. So shall I sign the contract here? Then we’ll start with casting. Director Koh, I am happy to work with you. There will be a lot of difficulties, but we will get through it.”

“Yes, me too.”

The two signed the contract.

I have no doubt that it was the best choice.

Returning to the laundry, I headed to the flower shop.

The flowers of the florist were noticeably growing, and the leaves were strong and had a good color.

The plants that bloomed had many buds, and the flowers in full bloom were also fresh and beautiful enough to make anyone want to buy them.

‘Is this also the influence of the Magic Forest?’

A florist class was in full swing at the flower shop.

There were also 5 students, and they were arranging flowers with their own concepts by selecting the flowers piled up in front of them.

In particular, the flower shop owner’s work was noticeably different.

The design was also a design, but the flowers were rich and fresh.

‘You said you just learned it, but have your skills improved like that?’

But when I looked closely, the flower shop owner picked up a flower and the petals that seemed a little withered came to life.

‘Uh, what?’

I wondered if I was wrong and saw other people picking up flowers, but I didn’t feel that way.

If the students felt it too, one person complained and did something similar.

“No, why, it’s the same flower, but when the teacher touches it, it seems to come alive?”

“Ho-ho, well. I think flowers recognize people.”

Then another student joined in.

“Really, flowers seem to recognize people. Some people just have it at home and the flowers will grow well. I am so upset that I died so quickly no matter how hard I tried to raise him well.”

Then the florist found me and came out.

“Ah, Annam. Come on in.”

“Are you in class?”

“It’s okay now. The theory lectures are all over.”

As I entered, all the students turned around and greeted me.

I nodded my head to say hello.

“What shall I give you today? You didn’t ask me to prepare the seedlings this time.”

“right. Today, I’m just going to take something from the flower shop. But the flowers have grown so well.”

“Iknow, right. Every time people pass by our florist, they are amazed. They say it is quite different from other flower shops. Even if you raise the price a little, there are no complaints. As a result, sales are increasing. I guess I have a talent for growing flowers.”

“I’m really happy.”

“I was going to quit after completing the contract period, but I think I will have to keep going. A lot of good things have happened since I started this job. My mom has also improved a lot. In the meantime, I must have improved my skills while arranging flowers to put in my mother’s hospital room. Whoops.”

He gave a positive smile to the proud owner of the flower shop.

“I have to raise the price too.”

“Oh, no. Annam is an important regular, so I’ll give it to you at a discounted price. Whoops.”

“Thank you. Are there any flowers that are a bit aggressive?”

“Yeah?”

The flower shop owner widened his eyes.

“You look for aggression in flowers.”

“No, rather than actually attacking, it was like having a thorn in its beauty… … . Ah, roses!”

Suddenly a rose came to mind.

A rose has thorns, doesn’t it?

If done well, it seemed like it could be usefully used to get rid of ‘adversity’.

“Oh, there are many roses. Nowadays, there are many roses planted here and there in Korea. It couldn’t be that pretty to see a rose vine on the roadside. But you have to be careful going there. That’s why they often compare a beautiful but dangerous woman to a rose.”

The florist selected a flowerpot for roses.

“It is a rose that is commonly seen in Korea. It grows in vines and is called a vine rose. It’s small, but it’s prettier when spread out in a bunch.”

“I kind of like this rose. It’s kind of Korean. It looks unpretentious for a rose.”

“Me too. The only downside is that it doesn’t have much of a scent. Roses have a unique rose scent, but they don’t have that.”

“You can’t have it all.”

I felt a tingling sensation when I put my finger on the rose thorn.

‘Oh, this would be pretty good for attack.’

As I checked to see if there was anything else to bring, an elongated cactus caught my eye.

“Are you selling that too?”

“of course.”

“The cactus is amazing. It is also famous for growing well in barren environments, but with just one thorny eye, this yogi is strong enough to take root and come back to life.

“Oh, I didn’t know until there.”

“It grows long like a column, so it is also called a column cactus.”

The florist gave me a pot of cactus that was the length of my arm.

Her students were staring at her behind her back, and in front of her, all of her finished works were waiting for evaluation.

“Ah, I’ll just go see. You have to keep teaching.”

It was then that the owner of the flower shop looked back and seemed to realize what was going on.

“Oh, it’s over. Did I talk too much? Annam, see you next time.”

“Yeah.”

I took the column cactus and rose and headed to the laundry.

The moment when the florist’s boss touched the flower and the flower came to life has not yet left my mind.

Then he shook her head violently.

‘I hope it’s not.’

Waiting for night to come, I crossed the portal.

But these days, the children are nowhere to be seen.

“Ariel? Aides? Whirlwind! Cosmos! Cami! Has anyone not called?”

It was difficult to even call them to attend.

No matter how many times I called, there was only silence in the forest.

An ominous foreboding passed.

‘Perhaps, a black seed while I’m away!'(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Surprised, I left my things in front of the portal and ran away.

Whoops.

I ran to my chin, feeling out of breath, and I saw children making a fuss near the creek.

Feeling that the children were safe, I breathed a sigh of relief involuntarily.

[Moves. It moves!][Cosmos! Cosmos!]

Children looking around and screaming in excitement.

“Hey, what are you guys doing? You didn’t see it, so you knew it was going to be a big deal!”

At the sound of my voice, the children turned around and ran happily.

[Ahn Nam-pyo, why are you here now?]

The name Ariel called me seemed to have hardened into Annam Pyo.

Cammy sat on my shoulder, and cosmos had two flower faces repeating “cosmos” incessantly.

Aides approached with a dead book in his hand, and the whirlwind suddenly grew and came to form a long and thin dragon volcanic cone.

“What is it? What were you doing?”

[Water is weird. What comes out.]

The children all pointed to one place, and there was only the river flowing as usual.

“Is there nothing?”

[Wait a little.]

As Ariel said, I was gazing at the river, and in an instant, a stream of water began to spin and a whirlpool began to form.

“What, isn’t that a whirlwind?”

When he saw the whirlwind, he shook his body as if it wasn’t him.

Looking at the river again, the water gathered in the middle of the whirlpool to form a mass and rise little by little.

“Uh, what?”

[I do not know. rises to the ground.]

“You mean it’s coming up on the ground?”

[Yeah, I see you there.]

When I saw where Ariel was pointing, I saw a puddle that looked like water had been deliberately sprinkled on dry ground.

“What? Did the black seeds germinate?”

[Not a black seed. There are no black seeds.]

right.

Dandelion Hall is monitoring in real time.

“Then what the hell is that?”

[Ahn Nam-pyo, im impatient. I have a little.]
