Chapter 37: Borrowing the Momentum (Part II) 2/2

"Bang!"

The remote control exploded into pieces on the wall, and in the TV one step away, the happy actor answered the media's inquiries without a brain, Hong Sung-woo's eyes were on fire, and he was angry and a little depressed, eager to get in and strangle him!

This idiot!

The so-called sworn resistance, the so-called slogan of stubbornly adhering to Korean culture, as soon as it began to shout, was turned into a joke by his "I don't know what to do, it was Ahn Sungji who asked me to come", and there was no serious atmosphere, and the "tragedy" of the bald movement that Hong Sung-woo wanted also came to an abrupt end!

"What is not enough to succeed and what is more than what is lost...... Why did An Shengji choose him to take over the second baton?"

On TV, after the interview screen, the anchor who broadcast the news began to use a playful tone, jokingly saying that Park Joong-hoon is an honest artist, at least "he understands what he does and what others teach him to do", "The filmmaker does not seem to be prepared, and he does not even unify internal opinions", "Before taking the third baton, I think Mr. Ahn Sung-ki should think about how to teach the third person to speak the lines, and to be honest, the professional quality of the second baton is really disappointing".

Park Joong-hoon's words, after being said in a morning interview, quickly became the target of media ridicule and caused netizens to besiege it on the Internet.

Many netizens left messages attacking the so-called "Die-Hard Committee" on the portal that reported the news, especially the initiator of the demonstration, An Shengji, who was the first to fight, and netizens said that he was selling his reputation. "The gesture of eagerness to stand up and declare oneself righteous is disgusting".

"It is said that he thought that the demonstrations should be swift and brought forward the march scheduled for February 8 to February 4, so can Park Joong-hoon's inappropriate remarks be considered that the committee is not satisfied with his insistence?"

Today, when I saw a newspaper comparing this march to the 1999 skinhead movement, I suddenly felt that I couldn't laugh or cry when I heard Park Joong-hoon's words. ”

"These filmmakers shouted loudly, but in fact, it was not for Korean movies and Korean culture at all, besides. Why did those actors make a lot of money. Driving a foreign sports car, but opposing us watching foreign movies?"

The silence was shattered that day, but not as the Rigidity Committee had initially estimated. The people did not side with them. Instead, because of Park Joong-hoon's words. He took his anger out on them.

Especially the last sentence "Why do actors drive foreign sports cars, but oppose us watching foreign movies", the refutation is sharp. The actors were dumbfounded.

The only thing that comforts Hong Sung-woo is that Ahn Sung-ki and the Death Guard Committee did not retreat because of the ridicule of the media, rebuttals and insults on the Internet, but actively looked for reasons to defend Park Joong-hoon, and at the same time tried to divert the attention of the media.

On the night of February 5, An Shengji revealed in an interview that the third relay demonstrator on February 6 was Zhang Dongjian, a popular idol who participated in China's "Wuji" last year and successfully expanded his career overseas.

This Korean superstar, who became famous from "Friends" and rose almost with the rise of Korean films, and has been popular for several years, has a terrifying number of supporters in China, and after the media confirmed the news to Zhang Dongjian, crazy fans spoke excitedly, temporarily submerging all the remarks that were unfavorable to the Rigidity Committee, and the media forgot to ridicule the filmmakers in a moment of astonishment, and began to hype up this matter!

…… It's not hopeless......

That night, when he saw the news, Hong Chengyou breathed a sigh of relief.

But the bad premonition that I had forgotten before hit me again.

Time was in a hurry, and on February 6, just after lunch, Hong Chengyou took his assistant to the Education Insurance Building by car - last night, Zhang Dongjian's agency and the Die-Hard Committee announced at the same time that Zhang Dongjian's demonstration would start in front of the Education Insurance Building this afternoon.

For him, Hong Sung-woo has high hopes.

However, no matter how much he overestimated it, he didn't expect Zhang Dongjian's popularity to be so terrifying......

……

"Tick-tick-"

The sirens of cars pierced the sky, and under the clear sky on the 6th, the sun slanted to the southwest hung high between the two buildings, and the reflection covered it like a giant beast.

The road was already blocked, and he could only occasionally advance a little distance, and the assistant who was driving the car looked at the education and insurance building about 30 meters ahead, which was surrounded by water, and was dumbfounded.

"Minister, this scene is too exaggerated......

"Hmm......" Hong Chengyou, who was in shock, nodded subconsciously.

"Looking at the intensity, I'm afraid there are thousands of people. As he spoke, the assistant became happy again in a blink of an eye, and said excitedly: "Minister, don't you have to be afraid of a small influence?" It seems that people are still coming over, and it is noon again, plus those white-collar workers and staff who have just taken a lunch break nearby, maybe thousands of people will come back, if Zhang Dongjian marches, they will all follow ......."

Hong Sung-woo was also excited.

The assistant can think of this, he can naturally too, originally yesterday he was about to be disappointed, today I came to the scene to see Zhang Dongjian's demonstration, but also with the most unexpected, I didn't expect to give him such a big surprise.

As the two were talking, the crowd in front of them was agitated, and when he lowered the window slightly, huge cheers and screams suddenly burst into his ears, and a line of vision from the side passed through the traffic, stabbing his eyes slightly, and immediately, he was in a haze of light, and saw that on the side of the building, a figure with a sign walked up to the flower bed of the education insurance building, shouting something to the crowd.

"Whew-"

The heart that was mentioned at the last point was also put down, Hong Chengyou looked at the figure and exhaled heavily.

It's Zhang Dongjian!

The actions of the filmmaker pinned all his hopes on him and Mega.Box these days. While he is concerned about filmmakers, the chairman is also contacting CGV and Rakuten, trying to unite and put pressure on the government to abolish the surtax, or everyone can form an alliance to fight against the production and distribution companies and share the surtax burden among them.

But I don't know what the road is for, CGV and Lotte don't seem to be very interested in these proposals, and there was no clear response to several contacts until the day before yesterday. The president only learned. CJ Entertainment, CGV, Rakuten, and Show.Box have formed a strategic partnership. In the future, the three companies will share resources and share the surtax with each other as an obligation to enjoy their rights, and CJ Entertainment and Lotte will give priority to the release of films released by Show.Box. Again, in return. Show.Box sold its stake in 20 theaters to CJ Entertainment and Rakuten.

This is a silent industrial adjustment. Three giants...... It may also be the true intentions of CJ and Rakuten, and it is uncertain for the time being, but whether he or the president. At least they all understand that Mega.Box was ostracized from that circle by them!

The original expectation came to naught, and it was already a luxury to get through it with the help of CJ and Lotte's background, and the only thing left was the filmmaker.

As long as they can force the government to lift the quota cuts, there will be no need for the 5% surtax appeasement.

Let's hope it all goes well!

Thinking so, he glanced at Zhang Dongjian, who was standing high on the flower bed and shouting slogans to the lower part of the house, he was calling on the people to join him in maintaining Korean culture and saving Korean movies, and the people below who came to see him frantically shouted his name, the surging crowd has grown to more than 1,000 people, and there are more than 100 reporters holding cameras, microphones, and camcorders, as well as police officers to maintain order.

In front of the Education Insurance Building, on the ground where the snow has not yet melted, the atmosphere is hot, like a boiling oil pot!

After taking another look, Hong Chengyou was ready to ask his assistant to find a way to bypass the crowd and walk along Zhang Dongjian's parade route in advance to observe the specific effect.

But as soon as the words came out, he saw that the assistant suddenly froze, and the crowd began to erupt into a louder uproar.

Hong Chengyou turned his head in astonishment, and in the flower bed in the distance, Zhang Dongjian, who was shouting on the flower bed, was suddenly pulled down from the flower bed by the assistants and security guards around him, and ran away without looking back......

Less than 5 minutes...... The so-called demonstration, from the appearance of Zhang Dongjian to the sudden escape by assistants and security guards, took less than 5 minutes......

In the car, the rosy of excitement on Hong Chengyou's face had not faded, Tie Qing suddenly floated up, and then turned miserable white again, changing so fast that it looked wonderful!

……

……

Not far from the crowd, in a hot drink shop, Ahn Junhyuk and Kwon Bo-geun sat in the window, watching the excitement over there with interest, two cups of hot black tea floating on the table, and tender yellow lemon slices floating on the surface of the tea soup, exuding a faint lemon aroma.

When Jang Dongjian was escorted away, Ahn Jun-hyuk lifted his sleeves, pressed it on his watch, then looked at the time and shrugged: "More than 3 minutes, faster than I expected!"

On the other side, Quan Baogen smiled bitterly, consciously took out a stack of 10,000 yuan bills and handed it over, and then hesitated for a moment, he still asked: "President, how do you know that Zhang Dongjian will be taken away? No matter how stupid the Die-Stick Committee is, it won't turn the parade into a joke for the second time, right?"

"Because the Rigidity Committee didn't dare to let him have an accident. Taking a sip of the hot tea soup, Ahn Junhyuk smiled, a little helpless, a little funny: "This rigidly abiding committee has no prestige at all, and it can be established by relying on Ahn Sungji's connections, and it does not have much binding force on artists." You see so many people at the scene, who knows if the order will suddenly collapse because of some accident, and at that time, Zhang Dongjian's personal safety will not be guaranteed...... If there is no way to protect Zhang Dongjian, what other artists do you think dare to listen to them and come out to march again?"

"So, although Zhilu Dao asked Zhang Dongjian to leave, it would once again disrupt the march and make the media laugh, but they had to do it...... After all, it's still not prestigious!"

Sighing, Ahn Jun-hyuk shook his head and stopped looking at the chaotic scene over there.

The Rigidity Committee has done something stupid again, and now, probably everyone can see the weakness of the filmmaker's resistance this time, Mega.Box, I'm afraid I have to give up hope and contact this side!

Thinking about it, he took the pale red tea soup in the sun and drank it all. (To be continued......)
