Van Gogh Reborn!

Chapter 99

Chapter 99

Henry Marceau visited Christine Nolan's studio. 

Located between the South Weddington Park and the Los Angeles River in Los Angeles, California, the United States. 

It was a filming location where Nolan bought all of Windsor Lofts Universal City and nearby houses and sites in 2024 and began operating in 2027. 

The security of Nolan Studios, which would handle everything related to film production and distribution, was tight, and Henry Marceau was no exception. 

Security staff approached Henry's vehicle and asked for a visitor's card. 

Secretary Arsene lowered the window and politely told him that he was here to have a meeting with Nolan. 

Security staff nodded as they checked the man with his arms crossed in the back seat. 

When he was about to send a signal to raise the barrier, the head of the security team, who received a report that Henry Marceau had visited, came forward to greet him. 

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Marceau. Paul Adams from the security team. Director Nolan asked me to bring you." 

Paul Adams, the Security team leader, guided Henry Marceau. 

Shortly after, Henry Marceau reached Nolan's office. 

Welcome, 

Nolan welcomed Henry Marceau. 

Henry Marceau also took off his sunglasses and showed the least courtesy. 

Nolan, who sat down, immediately asked the purpose of his visit. 

He had planned to visit McWay Falls today, so he wanted to avoid the meeting if it wasn't related to movies. 

What's the matter? 

I heard Ko Hun is working here. 

Nolan nodded. 

"I need to take a look." 

He couldn't understand Henry Marceaus purpose for the visit. 

If he wanted to meet Ko Hun, it would have been faster if he contacted him in person. 

He didn't know why he had to visit him through the company. 

May I know why? 

He's not answering. 

Nolan was at a loss for words. 

His attitude was so imposing and determined that Nolan questioned his own common sense. 

But still, he pressed the intercom because he was tired from the field trip today. 

"Please check if Hun is still in the studio." 

He is. May I connect you with him? 

After a while, the call was connected to Ko Hun. 

Hello? 

"Hun, Mr. Marceau is here. What should I do?" 

Marceau? Is it Henry Marceau?.. Grandpa, Marceau's here. Why? I don't know why? 

Nolan raised his eyebrows and asked Henry Marceau for an answer. 

"He left the Biennale, so I came to see what he was doing.." 

He says he came to check what you are doing. 

-What is he talking about? What does it matter to him what I do? 

I know. Right? 

Nolan turned his head slightly this time. 

"It matters to me," 

Henry Marceau's attitude showed no signs of faltering. 

Ko Hun exchanged conversations with Ko Sooyeol and took the intercom again. 

-I will meet him. Where is he now? 

"Office, yeah, yeah, okay." 

Nolan, who finished the call, observed Henry Marceau. 

The man in front of him was the heir to the Marceau family and one of the most popular Artists. 

Although his usual image was not good, he could not understand why he was particularly obsessed with Ko Hun. 

He wondered if he came here because he felt it was not good for Ko Hun to start a movie-related job. 

After a while, Ko Sooyeol and Ko Hun visited Nolan's office. 

Henry Marceau bowed to Ko Sooyeol and was courteous. 

"Nice to meet you, Sir Ko Sooyeol." 

"What are you doing here?" 

Henry Marceau gazed at Ko Hun and then turned his eyes back to Ko Sooyeol. 

" Shouldnt he be at the museum?" 

Whatever he does, it's Hun's choice.

Exactly. 

Henry Marceau looked down at Ko Hun. 

"Isnt it up to his choice to draw what he wants to? Don't you think so?" 

According to Henry Marceau's common sense, Ko Hun had to become a director if he wanted to participate in the film production. 

Films such as Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman's Loving Vincent, which was released 10 years ago, were acceptable. 

But this situation was different.

Ko Hun was trying to express Christine Nolan's world, which means in his paintings, his world will be replaced by the world that others thought. 

Henry Marceau could not understand why Ko Hun, who had already secured independence in the Art world, had to do such a thing. 

So he came to check it out. 

"Why?" 

"I'm doing it because I want to." 

Ko Hun opened his mouth. 

Ko Hun couldn't tell if Henry, who was in New York, had to come all this way to Los Angeles to say something obvious. 

Are you here to say that? 

No, I'm here to check what youre doing with my own eyes. 

Ko Sooyeol and Nolan couldnt understand what Henry Marceau was trying to do. 

But they knew that Henry Marceau was worried about Ko Hun's painting. 

Still, it didnt answer all the questions because they werent in such a friendly relationship. 

Rather, the relationship was so bad that it was confusing to call it even an acquaintance. 

Ko Hun stepped up. 

Do you like me that much? 

What? 

Henry opened his eyes wide. 

Christine Nolan struggled to contain the burst of laughter. 

"You know. You are always so interested in my work? Are you afraid that the price of my painting will drop if I work on a movie?" 

Do you think I care about that kind of money? 

Then why? Say something. Because it's frustrating. 

Ko Hun and Ko Sooyeol were serious and pressured Henry. 

They wanted to clear up this strange relationship that started at the Seoul Art Museum and continued for the past six months. 

Confused Henry Marceau opened his mouth. 

No. 

What.? Is it because you don't want to talk about it, or is it because you don't like me." 

"Both." 

"Then why are you here?" 

"I'm here to see what you're drawing." 

"Thats why Im asking? Why do you want to see it? Ah, it's frustrating." 

Nolan, who was watching the situation, quietly smiled. 

Hes a fan. 

You can't buy three paintings of the same person if you don't like that person. 

Henry is said to be a multi-billionaire, but the sum he spent to buy Ko Hun's work was more than $21 million. 

Henry Marceau's annual income was unknown, but still, the amount he spent on buying Ko Huns work cant be treated as a dime. 

Is he embarrassed?' 

Nolan came up with a good idea while watching Ko Hun and Henry who started bickering.

Cant you just show it, if you are that confident in what youre doing? 

Why should I show it to you? And, what are you going to do by seeing it?" 

I'm not going to let you do it if it's a boring piece of work. 

"Why do you care about that? My grandpa is cheering for me." 

"If you're confident, show it to me!" 

"No!" 

Impatient Ko Sooyeol thought about kicking Henry Marceau away, but before that Nolan opened his mouth and said,

"I'd like to make a suggestion to Mr. Marceau," 

The two people who were arguing turned their heads at the same time. 

Nolan shrugged his shoulders and leaned his back on the sofa. 

"The concept art of The Strange Castle is confidential. It's not a situation where Hun can just show it because he wants to." 

Ko Sooyeol and Ko Hun nodded and sympathized with the argument. 

"But it's not like Mr. Marceau has no way of looking," 

Henry narrowed his eyes and urged Nolan. 

"Invest in The Strange Castle. Then, as we become a family, you have the right to request it, what do you say?

"No." 

Ko Hun opposed. 

"I can't stand this guy telling me what to do. 

No. 

Henry Marceau also felt the proposal was very unpleasant. 

"I think you've looked down on me a lot, Nolan. Do you thinkthis Henry Marceau will pay for the damn production just to see a little picture?" 

He used relatively decent words because he was speaking to a person who was at the top of a field, but the way he spoke was very aggressive. 

Nolan shrugged his shoulders.

[Billionaire Henry Marceau invests a small amount in Nolan's new movie] 

[Rumor says its because of Ko Hun, but the Marceau foundation rejected the rumors saying " Its an investment for the Revival of French Literature,"]

[Henry Marceau, who invested $1 million in the movie The Strange Castle'] 

Last Thursday, a picture of director Christine Nolan, Ko Hun, and Henri Marceau was captured, when they were seen together at the Chalk cliff of the Etretat Beach in France. 

A report from Nolan Studios revealed that billionaire Henry Marceau had invested $1 million in the movie The Strange Castle. 

According to an expert, Henry Marceau, who was usually interested in French literature, got interested in The Strange Castle and invested after watching the script, saying Henry Marceau's investment was a very cautious choice. 

Although Christine Nolan is a director who guarantees box office success, analysts say that the current project was shaky since it deals with the Arsene Lupin Series, which is somewhat less recognizable. 

Meanwhile, Nolan, who had already prepared enough budget, accepted Henry Marceau's willingness to invest because he believed that his investment would have a great impact on the promotion of the movie. 

They are currently exploring the filming location of The Strange Castle

-Strezeman (TIMES) 

The fans were surprised by the news of the investment by Henry Marceau 

Henry Marceau, who had no relationship with the movie, suddenly invested in The Strange Castle. 

The Fans who saw articles from the Times and various other media outlets showed various reactions. 

-The revival of French literature?. 

-It's really good?. 

-I dont think hes the type that reads books?. 

-No. Henry is so smart. Hes really profound when you look at his portfolio??. 

-I like Henrys academic background. 

-I don't know if he reads a book or not, but I dont think his intellectual level is at the top. If so he wouldn't have invested there??? 

-I'm curious about that, too. 

-Is it because he wants to train Ko Hun? 

-To be honest, that does make sense. 

-No, that doesn't make sense either. Investors can intervene to some extent, but Nolan is not the someone who would be swayed by a few investors. 

-If he tries to overpower him, he'll chase him out, since there are so many people who want to invest in Nolan. 

-Then, what is it? 

-I've been a fan of Henry for 6 years. Don't try to understand him. Hes not a human being who can be understood????. 

-Right. You shouldn't look at him as a person. You should watch him as if you are watching a cartoon or a movie. 

-Are you really a fan? Its like youre badmouthing him. I guess it's fun. 

-Henry's not funny.

-I think Henry invested to get a chance to look at Ko Huns paintings before anyone.

-???????

-What the hell is that? 

-Ive never heard of a guy who pays a million dollars just because he wants to see the painting quickly. 

-Henrys not normal, but he's not a pushover. Dont spread fake news.
