Returner’s Magic Laundry

‘Ara Jung… … .'

When I saw her figure, power entered her hand without realizing it.

When I was offered to be cast in my last movie, Ara Jung turned down immediately.

Because of that, even her last hopes were thwarted.

Usually, even if only one famous actor was cast well, investment or casting for other roles could be easily released.

Ara Jung came to her attention as she starred in my short film and entered the Cannes Film Festival.

Since then, she has been cast in several films, and she is later reborn as one of the best actors in the world.

I remember her vividly the last time I met her.

“Director Pyo? How long will you cling to me? I'm grateful for her directorial debut with her spunky short film. But to be honest, isn't that good because I'm good at it? Would I have gone to the Cannes Film Festival if I hadn’t starred in that movie?”

“Where is that word? Just because one person is good doesn't mean that the work turns out well. It's a request, so let's do it together one last time."

“Hey, I don’t want to be a fool who gets on a sinking ship just to be courteous. Don't force yourself to hold on to something that even the director can't do, and open a chicken restaurant with the money you've earned. Then I'll go eat. Goodbye then.”

This was her last conversation with Ara Jung.

Yes, casting can be rejected.

Just because she made her debut, there was no reason why she had to appear in the director's next film.

Film directors often work long-term with specific actors as substitutes who can represent their world of cinema.

Such an actor is called the director's 'persona'.

Persona is a word that stands for “mask” and means “external personality” or “person wearing a mask”.

Even Jung Ara could be my persona.

Since then, she has always wanted to appear in my work,

I also wanted to use another actor, but I didn't want to betray my loyalty.

The problem arose as my films kept failing.

I didn't know it until then, but when she went out well, Ara Jung would stick to her side, and when she didn't see her at all, she was a human being who left as if she had always been.

A film director can abandon an actor, and an actor can refuse to appear in the director's film.

I had no intention of blaming Ara Jung's casting for the failure of my film.

“Director, hello staff. I'm a little late. Sorry. Our Jinju overslept today.”

Ara Jung greeted me warmly and approached me.

Next to Ara Jung, a woman of the same age who looked sloppy greeted her timidly.

I know who she is.

Ara Jung's friend, Jinju Park.

She wore her horn-rimmed glasses on her chubby body, and her curly hair made her look untidy.

There were a few noticeable freckles on her blushing cheeks, and her silver braces gleamed as she spoke.

Park Jin-joo, who looks ugly now, may be surprised when she finds out what she will look like in the future.

The person I was aiming for today was Jinju Park.

She is Jung Ara's friend and manager, who later played a major role in raising Jung Ara into a famous actress.

Although it is not true later, it was because of Park Jin-joo's strong recommendation that Ara Jung appeared in my short film.

But in the end, fate is abandoned by Jung Ara.

Although she breaks up with Jung A-Ra, she sets up her own management company and raises many actors.

While not developing her own abilities, her ability to discover and develop the talents of others.

That was Park Jin-joo's greatest ability.

The goal for today is to separate Park Jin-joo from her Jung Ara.

"chair."

When Ara Jeong spoke, she unfolded her simple chair that Jinju Park was holding.

However, Ara Jeong did not sit right away, and she came next to Go Gun-soo.

“Hello, Director.”

“Yes, Ara-san, are you here? Today is the last filming, so let’s do our best.”

“Yes, Director. Oh, but someone I haven't seen is here."

“Ah, my friend. I came to support you. He is also the one who wrote this screenplay.”

“Ummm, really?”

As I nodded her head to say hello to her, Ara Jung reached out and reached out her hand.

“The scenario is really good. nice to meet you. My name is Ara Jung.”

She grabbed my hand and shook my hand and smiled with her half-moon eyes.

"Thank you."

Her beauty was still admirable.

No, she actually had a more pure beauty now than the woman who wore her luxury goods and heavy makeup.

The staff used to ask where I got such an actor.

“But the director’s friend probably doesn’t like me.”

When Ara Jeong took a step back and spoke, Sang-il Kim interrupted again with a headlock.

“Hey, why is Annam not like you? Were you nervous when this beautiful child appeared?”

“It seems like it, so don’t worry about it. Ara.”

As soon as Ko Geon-soo spoke for her, a smile began to spread on Jung A-ra's face again.

She was called Jung-ah, and she was a person who couldn't stand it when someone showed any signs of dislike for her.

She was the kind of woman who would be relieved if everyone loved her.

“Then I will try to match Hanyu’s acting with her. When does filming start?”

“I’ll start right away when the sun goes down in a little bit.”

"Yeah."

Ara Jung approached Hanyu and she pretended to be friendly.

She was a person who did not spare a smile in front of her eyes as much as she wanted to be loved.

Jinju Park hurriedly took her script and handed it to her Jeong Ara.

The two were playing in a friendly way.

I looked up at the sky and the sun had already set.

“I think the weather is good today and the color of the sunset is good.”

Go Gun-soo came to my side and looked up at the sky.

The weather was like this on the day I shot the climax of this movie.

It feels like something heaven is helping.

“Aren’t you already regretting it?”

Go Gun-soo asked a random question.

"Huh? What?"

“You handed this movie megaphone to me.”

“Does my face look like that now?”

“No, it looks a little different than usual.”

Yes, it was because of Jung Ara.

“No, child. I have no regrets.”

“I mean, it’s amazing. Why did the film director or the guy who asked for death just a few months ago have changed so much?”

“… … .”

“Well, the death of your parents was a shock. It was a shock to me that he suddenly went like that all of a sudden.”

"Huh."

“Anyway, I drank the coffee and water you brought, and I feel refreshed even in this heat. Thanks."

"What… … But is Jung Ara okay acting?”

"Huh… … Good."

There was a slight gap in Ko's words.

“There is something on your mind.”

“… … Huh."

"What?"

When I urged, Go Geon-su glanced at Jeong A-ra, then looked up at the sky again and slowly opened his mouth.

Even the sensitive Jung Ara looked around for a moment to see if she felt Ko Geon-soo's gaze.

He probably noticed that he was telling his story.

Ara Jeong was a good-natured person.

So she was able to step on the others and get up there.

“Yeah, everything is fine. A mask is good, if you stop smoking, it's fine, and the suction power is good. It's a miracle that we got that many actors for a low-budget short film like us."

At that time, Kim Sang-il, who was listening to our story from behind, approached with a frown.

“But what’s the matter? Let's not create a problem that doesn't exist. I'm having a hard time right now, so I'm having a conflict about whether I should continue the movie.”

Kim Sang-il's face, which was fluttering by pulling up a T-shirt because it was hot, looked very tired.

Perhaps because her mom ran her restaurant, her recently fat belly was revealed under her t-shirt.

“Hey, you lose weight. It’s hard because of your age.”(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

Kwak Ki-hyuk said while slaps Kim Sang-il's exposed chubby belly.

“What is this child saying? Then you lose your height.”

“Hey, how do you remove the key?”

The two of them, fat and skinny, quarreled.

"What? What's the matter?”

“No, it’s just not a big deal. Maybe it lacks a bit of power. I have to go to the climax and explode with emotions, but it doesn’t come out well.”

Come to think of it, there was something I didn't like when I was filming that movie.

I thought that might be the point Koh Geon-soo said.

As a result, it wasn't a big deal since it even won an award at the Cannes Film Festival.

It was always a disappointment after the movie was finished.

“It’s probably because it’s in the script reading stage right now. If it goes into practice, it will be fine.”

On the other hand, Go Gun-soo is a much stricter and more meticulous person than me, so I thought that he might be a big problem.

Go Kun-soo even drew the storyline for this film.

He was the kind of guy who went into filming with all the scenes in detail, including movement lines, movements, camera work, and subtle emotional changes in advance.

That was the really embarrassing part.

“I think so. I have to do that.”

As I thought, I wanted to tell him to cut off Ara Jung even now, but I couldn't ruin my friend's movie with my revenge.

“Looking at the year, I think it is almost time. I'm just playing around here."

"Okay. Oh, Gunsu, wait a minute.”

Turning around, I called Gunsu.

"Yes why?"

“Have you ever written a screenplay?”

“There are a few short stories.”

“No, long.”

"feature length? I wrote 30 treatments for a class assignment, but it's garbage. You have to lay it down again.”

I also had something to prepare.

It is not easy to write 30 treatments for beginners like us.

“After this is over, work on a feature-length screenplay. You have to prepare ahead of time.”
