From the moment he met Jang Sun-yoon, Zheng Hee-yi roughly guessed who the host of today's meal was, as the former president of the Korean Society of Religion and the director of the Institute of Religious Studies of Seoul National University, even though Jean Jang-tae himself is not a Christian, he still has a deep relationship with the church's high-level officials, and he once "helped" Zheng Xiyi back then, so he invited him out as the final persuader, which is probably the last trump card of the church.

Qin Zhangtai is actually very reluctant to participate in such a bad thing, if Zheng Xiyi's words and deeds conflict with the church, but a scandal like "The Crucible" is still a lobbyist for the party covering up the crime, and the old gentleman really feels that he is suspected of being in danger of losing his night. It's just that old friends in the religious world have begged each other for decades, and their own students and family members have also come to the door to plead, and even the school of Seoul National University has hinted that no matter how high and self-conscious Qin Jangtai is, he can't really be a loner in this secular society.

However, as the first person to see through Zheng Xiyi's true character, he knew very well in his heart that in fact, no one could dissuade this young man who was gentle on the outside and resolute on the inside, but it was meaningless for him to say this kind of assertion before meeting Zheng Xiyi, so under the annoying human offensive, Qin Zhangtai simply held a perfunctory attitude like Liu Zaishi, and asked Zhang Shanyun to ask Zheng Xiyi to have this dinner that made him feel a little embarrassed.

As the top master in the Korean cultural industry, Qin Zhangtai naturally understands right and wrong, so he apologized to Zheng Xiyi as soon as he came in, and also vaguely expressed his true attitude towards "The Melting Pot" to Zheng Xiyi.

"My sister and I have been working on a film lately, and we are already in the final stages of preparation, and we will start filming in about a month or two. Zheng Xiyi didn't look at Qin Zhangtai, and said to Zhang Shanyun: "This is my first film work to participate in as a producer rather than an actor, although I encountered some difficulties in the early stage, but fortunately, it is not a problem that cannot be dealt with, that is, I have to deal with people from all walks of life, not as pure as when I was an actor, but I have also learned a lot of new knowledge." ”

Jang Sun-yoon looked at Chin Jang-tae and asked very consciously on his behalf: "Why did you choose this movie as your first non-actor work?" I heard that all Korean film companies have refused, why do you want to take over?"

Zheng Xiyi didn't answer immediately, and thought for four or five seconds before replying: "I chose this movie because of the persistence of Kong Liu Xi and Kong Zhiyong's writer Nim, and secondly, I think that the box office of this movie will not be bad." I don't intend to be an outlier in the Korean film and television industry, let alone a savior, I just think that whether I do something or not, someone will complete it, in this case, I just want to do it sooner, I don't change the result, I just change the time. ”

Zhang Shanyun frowned and said, "Xiyi, do you mean that even without you, this movie will be successfully released?"

Zheng Xiyi nodded and said: "First of all, this movie doesn't need to be too expensive, you really have to grit your teeth and be thrifty, and one billion won is enough; secondly, it doesn't matter if there is a film company willing to produce it, just like I do now, just register a film company by myself; finally, even if you don't have enough funds, or even if you can't get a shooting and release license, it's not an insurmountable obstacle, and South Korea is not the only country in the world, Japan, Film companies in these countries in China and even the United States will be willing to invest in the film and even shoot it locally. ”

"Is it really okay to shoot films based on Korean novels in other countries?" Jang Sun-yoon doesn't know much about this business, and is a little skeptical, after all, Korean culture still has its own uniqueness.

Zheng Xiyi shrugged and said: "Hollywood has remade the American version of "The Grudge", "Midnight Bell" and "Infernal Affairs" a few years ago, although the original Asian style has been completely changed to a local style that meets the taste of Americans, but the final box office results are very good. There has been no precedent for adapting and remaking Korean works in Japan and China before, but the Korean society in this film will certainly resonate with audiences in both countries with little cultural traditions, and besides, a film that reflects the dark side of Korean society cannot be shot in Korea for various reasons, and can only be successfully shot overseas. ”

"Hiss......" Jang Sun-yoon gasped, South Koreans have the best face in the world, and if they really want to force "The Melting Pot" to only shoot overseas and release it overseas, not to mention the Korean church, even the South Korean government may be criticized by the people.

Qin Jangtai listened silently, his face was pale, he knew Koreans better than Jang Sun-yoon, and naturally knew better how much impact it would have on the entire Korean society if the situation described by Zheng Xiyi really happened.

Zheng Xiyi was not satisfied with another blow, "This film is also the favorite genre of major international film festivals, if it is invested by foreign capital, it is inevitable to send it to major international film festivals to compete for awards, in case of winning the award, I am afraid that the impact will be greater, it is better to shoot in my hands, there is still a lot of room for negotiation, but they are only thinking about preventing the film from being shot in South Korea, but they don't think about being more open......

"It's best for you to invest in this film and shoot it, and that's what Xiyi is trying to say, right?"

Zheng Xiyi looked at Qin Zhangtai without surprise, and said with a serious expression: "Master Nim, judging from the possibilities I just described, it is indeed the best choice for me to complete this movie now. ”

Qin Zhangtai put down his chopsticks, let out a long sigh, and said helplessly, "You have probably been waiting for me to come to you, right?"

Zhang Shanyun was startled, and looked at Zheng Xiyi with wide eyes, Zheng Xiyi hurriedly shook his head and said, "Animeta, I didn't know that the church would invite your old man in the end, but no matter who they invited, this was the only answer I gave." ”

Qin Zhangtai pondered for a moment, slowly stood up, the Zheng family sisters and brothers and Zhang Shanyun also hurriedly stood up, Qin Zhangtai looked at Zheng Xiyi and said: "Since I already have the answer, then my task is completed, I will relay your answer to them, as for how they decide, it is not up to me to control." ”

Zhang Shanyun said in surprise: "Teacher Nim, even if you have an answer, you don't have to leave immediately, you have to finish the meal, you haven't eaten two bites in total." ”

Qin Zhangtai waved his hand with a dark face and said: "I can't eat this meal, let alone want to eat it, so since I have the answer, I should hurry back and finish the errand, the more I sit down, the worse my mood will be." ”

Zhang Shanyun thinks about it, according to the master's character, if he doesn't publicly support Zheng Xiyi, even if he gives face to the church, he will be forced to be a lobbyist to dissuade Zheng Xiyi, sitting in this private room is a kind of torture for his old man, and now that he has a reason to deal with the church, he naturally doesn't want to stay for even a second.

Zheng Xiyi also understood the old man's feelings, and once again apologized deeply for implicating Qin Zhangtai: "Master Nim, I have caused you a burden, and I praise Hamida." ”

Qin Zhangtai reached out and touched Zheng Xiyi's head, patted him on the shoulder, and said with emotion: "No need to apologize, whether it was then or now, Xiyi, you did a good job, very good, but I, without the decisiveness of the year, was entangled by the so-called friendship, family affection and face, and lost my heart." ”

Lin Xiyin saw Qin Zhangtai for the first time, originally saw him come as a lobbyist this time, and her heart was somewhat disdainful, but now her heart was full of respect, thinking that the so-called real celebrity is also such a demeanor, she silently bent down and saluted the old gentleman to show her gratitude.

Qin Zhangtai stretched out his hand to help the two sisters and brothers up, looked at the two of them with relief, and nodded at Zheng Xiyi's sister and brother and Zhang Shanyun with a smile, "Okay, although I was very unhappy with this meal today, but being able to see your two sisters and brothers is enough to compensate, you guys do a good job, I will come to see the movie when it is released." ”

After speaking, Qin Zhangtai waved his hand, turned around and left in a dashing manner, but the three juniors stood stupidly in the private room and looked at each other......

On the way home, Lin Xiyin said to Zheng Xiyi while driving: "To be honest, I still can't believe that it is such an honor that Master Nim of Qin Zhangtai actually wants to come to see this movie." ”

Zheng Xiyi looked ahead with his eyes, and said with feeling: "Nei, I'm also surprised, but this is the true character of Master Nim." ”

Lin Xiyin suddenly stretched out his hand and patted his face and said, "Hey Yigu, I didn't feel any pressure at all when I first met Master Nim, even if I knew that his old man was here to stop us, I didn't feel much pressure, why do I feel so stressed now?"

Zheng Xiyi smiled, clasped his hands to his chest and said relaxedly: "Sister, you should indeed be under pressure, because from tomorrow, all the problems that hinder us will probably disappear, and as an executive producer, you have a lot of things to start doing!"

Lin Xiyin glanced at Zheng Xiyi and said, "Although I am the executive producer, I still have the work of the director of S.M to be busy, you guy is the most leisurely now, shouldn't you do those shooting preparations?!"

Zheng Xiyi smiled, turned around and brought his backpack from the back seat, took out the script with a light blue cover from it, and shook it at Lin Xiyin and said, "I promised President Kim Young-min nim today to appear in this TV series, so I am not available." ”

Lin Xiyin frowned, looked at the cover and asked, "When will "The Secret Garden" start?"

Zheng Xiyi didn't answer her question directly, but just said with a bitter face: "This is SBS's finale this year, I invited Ha Ji Won Xi to play the heroine, think about it, it's really a lot of pressure, what about the actress of the last Blue Dragon Awards." ”

Lin Xiyin was about to taunt him, a top actor who had never won the Blue Dragon Award, when he suddenly came to his senses and shouted angrily: "Ah!

Zheng Xiyi couldn't hide, so he had to answer honestly: "It was originally scheduled to start in September, but because I was going to Japan in September to participate in the release and promotion of "Wicked", it will be advanced to mid-August." ”

Lin Xiyin screamed violently, stopped the car on the side of the road with a dozen steering wheels, turned around and stretched out his hands to pinch Zheng Xiyi's neck, shaking and roaring: "It's not July yet, you little bastard even if you want to be lazy, find me a suitable reason!"
