13- Kangwon Land (1)

#13. Kangwon Land (1)

“Me too. To cover the additional production costs, of course, I have to give a stake.”

Hyunjoong Kang, CEO of Lucifer Film, the production company, also readily agreed.

“It’s not someone else, but Master Cheongdam, who is the same person who saved my life, is asking for a share, and it’s just a pity that I can’t give more.”

Jihyuk smiled and said.

“Thank you for saying that.”

“Oh, I have to thank you. If this movie was ruined, I would have gone to the Han River to check the water temperature. I believed in one scenario and even received a loan to cover the production cost…”

CEO Kang, who was silent for a moment, asked cautiously.

“By the way, guru… did you really recognize that by just looking at his face?”

“Because your face always contains the years you’ve lived.”

Then Jin Seo-yeon interrupted and said.

“It is true.”

Hyunjoong Kang nodded and said.

“At the time, I wondered why CEO Jin came down to Andong that night, but I was really surprised when I heard about it later.”

“I also took a quick look at his face at first and then he said that the movie would be ruined, but it was so absurd…”

Jihyeok was a little embarrassed by the continued praise and changed the subject.

“Let’s stop talking about that and start talking about work. I’m sure you’ve heard of the director and lead actors I recommended, how… is that possible?”

For a moment, CEO Kang Hyeon-joong’s expression darkened slightly.

“There is no problem in replacing the director with the original author. The guru decided to bear the additional production costs caused by the longer running time… However, the lead actor may be a bit difficult.”

Jin Seo-yeon tilted her head and asked in response.

“Is there a movie that actor Minkyu Song is currently working on? I heard that since last year, I have been taking a break for a sabbatical year and only watching scenarios…”

“Actually, I didn’t tell CEO Jin, but originally, Song Min-gyu was the number one casting actor. I didn’t want to show my squeamish side from the casting, so I recruited Jung Jae-hyeon, who was recommended by director Kim Deok-gi…”

Kang Hyeon-joong looked at Jin Seo-yeon.

In some ways, it was said that the waste of production cost could be because of CEO Kang Hyeon-joong’s miscasting.

Ji-hyeok, who was looking at Jin Seo-yeon, who was about to shoot at him for a moment, shook his head slightly and put his finger to his mouth.

Only then did Jin Seo-yeon, who was about to get angry, change her mind and open her mouth softly.

“There is no need to talk about the past. So, why is it so difficult to cast actor Song Min-gyu?”

“First of all, he said he was in a burnout situation, so he wasn’t motivated to look at the work.”

Jin Seo-yeon raised her voice slightly.

“So you just gave up?”

“Could it be? I visited several times and persuaded him. I would have tried ten highs, not three highs. Then they said that it was difficult for us to immerse ourselves in the work of King of Contemplation.”

“yes? Why?”

“Once you are a contemplative person, you will never believe that you buy something. As you know, actor Song Min-kyu has been unknown for a long time, hasn’t he?”

Jin Seo-yeon nodded and urged CEO Kang to speak.

“It seems that I was frustrated when I was an unknown actor, so I went to a lot of fortune tellers.”

“So what?”

“Wherever you go, you are not contemplative to learn. I heard that I had to do something like a transportation business because there was a reverse horse in the sand. It’s good to say that it’s a transportation business, isn’t it like a taxi driver? He said he almost gave up on his dream of becoming an actor several times.”

Then, Jihyeok stepped out.

“I wouldn’t have done that if I had met a proper contemplative or fortune teller… It’s strange.”

It was true.

Reverse Marshal refers to the fate of moving here and there without being able to settle down in one place.

In that sense, Jihyeok thought that most entertainers of the past, such as pungmul troupes and play troupes, were born with reverse marsal.

In fact, it is also true that today’s famous celebrities show off their talents by going back and forth around the world…

Even if that wasn’t the case, Jihyeok, who thought Song Min-gyu’s owner was close to a typical celebrity owner, thought that CEO Kang Hyun-joong was hiding something.

Jihyeok asked cautiously.

“CEO Kang, now that we’re on the same boat, I hope we don’t hide anything from each other.”

Hyeonjoong Kang was startled and stuttered.

“yes? That, what is that…”

“What is the real reason why it is difficult to cast actor Song Min-gyu?”

Instead of pressing further, Jihyeok pressured Kang Hyunjoong by just staring at him.

Seeing Kang Hyeon-joong hesitating, Jin Seo-yeon also urged Kang Hyeon-joong, as if she sensed something suspicious.

“CEO Kang, even if you can fool the ghost, you can’t fool our guru. You know?”

“That…that’s…”

Hyunjoong Kang let out a deep sigh and started talking slowly.

“Actually, actor Song Min-gyu was an older brother I’ve known since I was a road manager. So, as soon as I received the script, I sent it to Mingyu hyung. But this hyung is not in a situation where he can act properly right now.”

Jin Seo-yeon asked.

“What do you mean? It’s not a situation to postpone.”

“You two, you must never tell anyone what I am about to say.”

“Do not worry. I will never reveal anything unless it is illegal.”

Even Jihyeok nodded, and Kang Hyunjoong closed and opened his eyes and opened his mouth again.

“Mingyu hyung is in a situation where not even God can stop him. Even if I’m crazy, I’m firmly crazy.”

Jin Seo-yeon was startled and asked.

“Have you ever touched or touched medicine?”

“Ah… that’s not it… but it’s true that you’re in that much danger.”

Jihyeok said.

“You seem to be addicted to gambling.”

Hyunjoong Kang nodded slowly and said.

“At first, I thought I would do it a few times and then quit after losing a little bit.”

“If gambling was so easy to quit, I wouldn’t even use the word addiction. Gambling is usually done until the money runs out…”

“Yes, that is the problem. It is that Min-gyu hyung has too much money to lose everything and come back.”

Jihyeok asked.

“So, actor Song Min-gyu, where are you now?”

***

A membership club in Yeoksam-dong.

“Kyaaah!”

“Si X, why are you screaming and f*cking? Money, money.”

Hearing screams from the room, Madam rushed in.

“Oh, our actor Jung, it seems you drank a little too much today. Don’t do this here, go out for the second time…”

The madam was comforting while holding Jaehyun Jeong’s arm.

“You b*tch, don’t you let this go? Stop talking bullsh*t and educate your children properly. Don’t make the wine taste bad.”

Director Kim Deok-gi, who was in the front seat, said.

“Madame Jung, please understand. It’s because Jaehyun and I are under a lot of stress lately.”

“Ah… yes, sure. It’s not that I don’t know the circumstances of the two of you…”

At that moment, director Kim Deok-ki’s eyes began to change.

“what? Why is our situation This b*tch, do you think I’m funny too? Stop talking bullsh*t and get some more drinks. Except for the kids for a moment.”

Madame Jung secretly begged that these Gaechabans be punished, but she could not express it outwardly.

“Ah… no. sorry. I will prepare it right away.”

When Madame Jung took the lady out, Jaehyun Jeong lamented her situation in an annoyed voice.

“Sir X, really. Deokgi hyung, are you really going to leave those b*tches as they are? If Ji is the representative of an investment company, he is the representative, and he instigated all kinds of b*tches to file complaints and f*ck us up…”

“I don’t like the baby who is the Cheongdam bankruptcy. Listening to the Lucifer Films, they said it was all instigated by that bastard.”

“Dukki-hyung, I have to sell the building in order to settle all of this.”

Deokgi Kim asked, slightly surprised.

“Are you going to agree on all of that? More than twenty people?”

“Sir X, there are 22 of us.”

“Have you two more? You’re a kid too, do it in moderation.”

“Did I enjoy myself? What kind of bullsh*t are you talking about having fun with your brother?”

“Still, since I’m letting the kids debut in moderation, it doesn’t take a few. You’re a bastard, aren’t you wiping your mouth so much that you’re rushing at me like a swarm of bees?”

“Didn’t you say that you also received seven wardens?”

“Keuheum… I agreed with the three of them.”

“Wow… Look how fast it moves. Deokgi-hyung, if I can’t solve it by selling this building, you’ll have to lend me some money. know?”

“huh? That’s how it should be.”

Just then, Jung Jae-hyun’s phone started to ring loudly.

“Oh, yes. How are you? Did you catch up?”

– Yes, bro. I just passed the Jeongseon toll gate and headed towards Sabuk-myeon.

“Sabuk? Why are you there?”

– Looking at the direction, it seems to be heading towards Kangwon Land.

“OK got it. You keep waiting there.”

Kim Deok-ki asked Jung Jae-hyeon after the phone call.

“who? your manager?”

“Oh, I put it on Jin Seo-yeon. I won’t let these go. Just the two of you together.”

Kim Deok-ki felt like he was suddenly sober.

If left as it is, you don’t know what Jung Jae-hyun will do…

“Jaehyun, now is the time to be careful. Even if it’s already hell, if you shut your mouth with money and get an acquittal in court, you can come back in 2-3 years. I go to the real life goal after doing nonsense.”

“What did I do to kill them? Jin Seo-yeon, I think there is nothing scary about having some money, but she should also let her know about the scary things in the world.”

At that time, Madame Jung, who had thought she had gone outside, overheard the conversation between the two in front of the door and called somewhere quickly.

***

Ji-hyeok, who had been listening to Jin Seo-yeon’s complaints all the way to Kangwon Land, was about to bleed from his ears by the time he arrived.

“No, if it’s going to be like this, why did you ask to go alone?”

“Didn’t you hear CEO Kang’s request not to tell anyone?”

“Then I should have asked to take a taxi instead. Secretary Go took an annual leave at a time like this…”

“It was CEO Jin who asked me to go to his car first.”

Jin Seo-yeon, speechless, stuttered.

“It was because I didn’t know that I wouldn’t be able to drive after 30.”

“It’s not that I can’t drive. They just don’t have a license.”

Jin Seo-yeon said with an exasperated expression.

“You can’t do it without a license… Does it make sense that you don’t even have a driver’s license at that age?”

“Keuheum… It’s a matter of circumstances…”

“That’s Okay. what’s the matter Why, did you do that while cleaning in the mountains?”

It was the navigation notification that saved Ji-hyeok, who was at a loss for answers.

– 5km left to the destination.

Only then did Jin Seo-yeon stop complaining and bring up a new topic.

“But, Mr. Jihyeok. Can you tell that actor Song Min-kyu is addicted to gambling? When CEO Kang was talking earlier, he guessed right away…”

“I guessed roughly.”

“Really? I can’t believe it because I’ve seen it…”

“Not only actor Song Min-gyu, but also many celebrities and sports stars have a common theme of new medicine.”

“Jada new drug? What else is that?”

“To put it simply, it means that you have excellent talents, but you are weak. Jaeseong can be called wealth luck, but it can also be called greed, but it is said that he is a master who cannot suppress his greed because he has a new drug that contradicts his personality. That’s why it’s easy to be blinded by vain greed.”

Jin Seo-yeon looked back at Ji-hyeok several times with a curious look.

“Then is the owner bad?”

“It is not. As the owner of Jaeda Shinyak said, he has a lot of talent and is the type to work harder than anyone else to achieve his goal. That’s why many sports stars have this stock. However, because they have a strong desire to achieve and compete, they easily fall into gambling because they think they can conquer anything.”

“Wow… That’s why there seem to be a lot of gambling cases involving athletes and celebrities.”

“Not all of them are like that, but most of them are like that. Anyway, if actor Song Min-kyu is too addicted to gambling, let’s find someone else to cast.”

Jin Seo-yeon nodded and asked.

“Mr. Jihyeok… How do you feel?”

“what do you mean?”

“You can see other people’s fates or personalities. I’ve never even thought that there would be someone like Jihyeok, so I can’t guess at all. How are you feeling? It just seems like everything in the world is nothing, right? Like a real guru?”

Ji-hyeok was unable to answer Jin Seo-yeon’s question like a shotgun for a while.

This is something that anyone who knows Jihyeok’s ability would have wanted to ask at least once.

The moment I thought about what to answer for a long time…

“You don’t have to answer me. Looking at Jihyeok’s expression, I think I can understand it roughly.”

“What do you mean by my expression?”

“Well… I just don’t think I like that expression. I don’t think life would be fun if I knew everything…”

Jihyuk smiled and said.

“Seoyeon can spread the mat instead of me.”

“Oh, it looks real…. With such great ability, why…”

“It’s an ability I’ve never wanted before.”

When Seoyeon checked Jihyeok’s sad expression for some reason, she was no longer curious.

‘Because everyone has a story…’

– Tring!

– You have arrived at your destination.

Jihyeok got out of the car and the smell of desire stung his nostrils.

Jihyeok, frowning, said to Seoyeon, who followed.

“Let’s finish quickly and go up. It’s a very ugly neighborhood to stay in for a long time.”
