With the Time Shop, I Too Am the Greatest Conglomerate of All Time

Episode 32. Movie Shri.(1)

The point is that StarCraft League videos can be made into content.

I planned to distribute this league video exclusively to our PC room.

At first, there will be a lot of people who come to the PC room to play games.

As time goes by, the number of people who come to watch gamers’ game videos will increase considerably.

When the popularity of game battles grows like that.

People will be crazy about the popular gamers in our league.

They will be happy to open their wallets to watch the match in person or watch the video of the match.

This is similar to how sports organizations such as boxing and martial arts make money.

“First of all, a store that rents computers in Seoul, so from now on, we call it a PC room. Give me about 10 PC rooms in Seoul as directly managed stores. Please prepare only about 5 places in each metropolitan city.”

Daewon looked worried about his older brother.

“To prepare like that, I think I will have to spend all my spare money except for the shopping mall operating expenses, is that okay?”

“Does not matter. If we need additional funds later, we can pull them from Highcast.”

Thanks to the soaring exchange rate and a large increase in US sales, Hicast’s internal reserves have already exceeded 10 billion won.

“but. There was a highcast. OK. I will prepare.”

It was April 1st.

“The loan deduction has been completed. A gift is presented as a token of appreciation for the sincere repayment. Please select a category.”

“Yes!”

I clenched my fists.

I was expecting a little bit of a high interest rate.

It’s really going to be a gift.

“Please choose No. 1 for Busan, No. 2 for Daegu, No. 3 for Seoul, No. 4 for Gwangju.”

What is your name this time?

This time, although the count of ARS started immediately.

I am not upset now.

I made the best use of the time of 5 seconds and ended my worries in an instant.

The selection criteria were simple.

All the choices in the category pointed to the city.

I chose Seoul, where I live, because I might have to go there.

At the same time, a note, folded in half, appeared in my hand as before.

After getting used to this kind of situation, I opened the memo without much thought.

– 6th floor, Haeun Building, 132 Yangjae-dong, Seocho-gu.

I also have to go there.

I went straight to the address written on the note.

I knocked on the entrance on the 6th floor of the Haeun Building, and a woman in her late 20s opened the door.

“What did you come here for?”

It would be nice to know that too.

“..Where is this?”

The woman said, ‘What is this guy doing?’ looked at me with those eyes.

“This is Woo In-gyu’s film office. You must have come to the wrong place.”

Woo In-gyu?

Where did you hear that name?

oh reminded me

Shiri.

A Korean film released in 1999.

It is such a monumental film that it is often said that Korean films are divided into before and after Shiri.

It is so successful that it overtakes the Hollywood blockbuster Titanic, which is currently being screened, in the number of audiences.

Woo In-gyu was the director who produced the Shiri.

Come to think of it, I must have been receiving investment for production costs around this time.

“Ah, I came to the right place.”

I asked with a smirk.

“I came here because of director Woo In-gyu’s movie Shiri. investment. Regarding.”

When she mentioned the title of the movie and emphasized the word investment, her expression changed in an instant.

“Oh, tell me right away. Come in. If you wait for a moment, I will contact the director and ask him to come right away.”

Had I waited about 30 minutes?

An old man with black horn-rimmed glasses rushed towards him.

‘Is that man the famous director Woo In-gyu?’

It was my first time seeing the real thing.

Woo In-gyu came up to me and wiped his sweat.

“I heard you want to invest in my film.”

“Fufu. First, take a breather.”

Director Woo sat across from me, took a few breaths, and then opened his mouth.

“You seem a bit young for an investment manager. Where did you come from?”

He handed him a business card and said.

“Damoye came from an online shopping mall company.”

Director Wu scanned my business card slowly.

“Everyone, this is Director Kang Jae-woon. But where did you hear that I was looking for an investment company?”

“I didn’t know for sure. But I’m originally a fan of Director Woo. I was curious about when a new one would be released, so I checked the current situation and found out that a new one is already being prepared. I came here to see if I needed an investment, and it was the right answer.”

“haha. Did you? Then you are very welcome.”

Luckily, it seemed like he had a good look around, so Director Woo passed without any doubts.

After exchanging a few more words, Director Woo asked.

“It’s an online shopping mall. I’ve heard of it, but never used it. How do you deal with it?”

“It is a service where you order items from a computer and the items are delivered to your home.”

“How amazing. Is everything like that these days?”

“yes. Even the director will fall in love with its charm once you use it. Whoops.”

“okay? I’ll have to try using it sometime. haha.”

The beginning was so friendly, though.

As the story progressed, obstacles appeared.

“Have you never made a movie investment before?”

“yes. Does that matter? I have enough money.”

Even at those words, Director Woo put on a puzzled expression on his face.

“Investing in movies doesn’t just require money.”

“What do you mean? Is there anything else you need besides money?”

“yes. Making a good movie doesn’t necessarily mean selling it. You have to do a lot of publicity and distribution, and that’s usually done by investment companies. But it’s a bit difficult because you said you don’t have any experience.”

Was it like that?

I thought it would be as simple as investing money in a company.

Investing in commercial films was not as easy as I thought.

Then an idea came to me.

“Then why don’t you receive my investment and then gather other investors? First of all, we think our investment is around 4 billion won. If there is a rumor that they have received this kind of investment, other investors will not feel burdened to intervene.”

As a memory of a past life, there were very few films in the 90s that cost more than 5 billion won.

4 billion would be enough money to not require additional investment.

It also meant that I would take almost all risks.

Director Woo made a surprised expression.

“Four billion? If that’s the case, it won’t be difficult to attract other investors. Are you really okay? Usually, even if you have enough funds, you don’t set your investment that high in terms of risk diversification.”

I am different

Because I know how big the movie Shiri is.

“Because I trust the director. I also really enjoyed the camellia bed, my previous work. Investing in the director who made such a masterpiece is a guarantee of success.”

It wasn’t a lie.

Director Woo In-gyu’s previous work ‘Camellia Bed’ was also popular at the time.

I also enjoyed it quite a bit.

Director Woo took my hand with a shocked expression.

“Thank you for saying that. I will make the best movie as much as you believe in me.”

Of course you should.

Three days later, Director Woo received a call.

“Mr. Kang. This is Woo In-gyu. I found a new investor and contacted them.”

“okay? Good for you.”

“The person in charge of the investment company wants to meet Director Kang, what will you do?”

“I like it too.”

“Then how about six o’clock in the afternoon?”

“it’s okay. May I go to the office?”

“I made a reservation for a restaurant with a good atmosphere rather than an office. Come over there.”

“yes. See you there.”

“Ah, I don’t think I can see you today because I have a schedule. We will arrange a separate place for everyone to gather next time.”

“okay. All right.”

When I arrived at the meeting place, two men I met for the first time were there.

Among them, a man who looked like he was in his 40s handed me a business card.

“hello. This is Kim Soo-chan, the team leader of the Korean Film Team of the Hwansung Video Project.”

crow?

Come to think of it, I do have memories of having a brief entertainment business in Hwansung in the 90s.

“..yes. hello. Everyone, this is Kang Jae-woon, director.”

“I heard a lot from Director Woo. He said he threw 4 billion in a big bowl.”

“yes. Because I trust Director Woo.”

Team leader Kim made an expression of admiration.

“her. You look young, but you have eyes to see. I am also a fan of Director Woo. So, I was persuading the managing director to invest, but I heard that Damoye had already invested.”

“As soon as I heard the rumor that Director Woo was looking for an investor, I immediately ran to him.”

“haha. We should have too. It was a pity that I was one step late. Thanks to this, the investment payment was received quickly.”

Perhaps it wasn’t empty words, but Team Leader Kim’s eyes were full of regret.

“Didn’t you say it was the Hwansung Video Project Team?”

“Are you affiliated with a large company Hwansung Group?”

Manager Kim nodded.

“That’s right. The result of the president’s direct instruction to start a cultural project is the Hwansung Video Project Group.”

her. it really was

Originally, I didn’t know who Shiri’s investors were in the future.

Looking at the first thing that Hwansung ran, it seems that the investor was the Hwansung video business group.

If I hadn’t intervened like this.

The movie Shiri would have been a work of cheering.

And the success of this film must have been part of the cheers.

“It’s an honor. I had no idea that I would have such a contact with that famous cheering group.”

“haha. We are honored It’s because I met Director Kang of Damoye, a strong player in the online shopping mall industry.”

Did you do some research on me?

Also welcome.

After that, after sharing a few more words of thanks, they started to drink glasses.

After giving and receiving so many times, Team Leader Kim opened his mouth with a bitter face.

“We have had a lot of fun so far, but unfortunately this investment seems to be our last investment.”

“Is this your last investment?”

“Due to the outbreak of the IMF, the group is undergoing restructuring as a whole. A project group like us that takes a long time to get results is the number one disbandment. It’s already almost decided.”

oh Was it around this time when this business group was disbanded?

“..Then, where will Team Leader Kim go?”

“I haven’t thought about it yet. I will think about it when it disbands.”

The business group is disbanded.

The members were scattered throughout the film industry.

Many of them have seen articles about success in the film industry in newspapers.

Looking at the success of the movie Shiri in my previous life, I think this team leader Kim is also a pretty good person.

How are you going to run out like this?

Without such a few talented people, there would be no problem in running the company.

It’s a bit envy to have so many talented people.

“Aren’t you thinking of working with me when that time comes?”

It was a semi-impulsive proposal.

It wasn’t a thoughtless word.

I already knew which movie was going to be successful.

If only talented people in the entertainment industry were by my side, I could make a lot of money.

Team leader Kim also looked at me with a surprised face.

“You’re offering a scout offer as soon as you see it like this. Thank you. haha.”

But I looked straight into his face, gently avoiding an answer, and said again.

“It may be sudden, but it’s true. Before deciding on a new place to go later, I hope that you will think of me as the number one priority. Daewoo promises to be the best in the industry.”
