"Anihase, Zheng Xiyi, Director Nim, Kong Liuyimida, please forgive me for being in a hurry to meet for the first time. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Anihasse, Kong Liuxi," Zheng Xiyi smiled and saluted Kong Liu, who still had a hint of military atmosphere, and then saluted the lady standing beside Kong Liu with a respectful face: "Anihasse, Kong Zhiyong, writer nim, Zheng Xiyi Yi Mida, I like your "Our Happy Times" very much, I wonder if you can help me sign this book?"

Saying that, Zheng Xiyi picked up the book and pen spread out on the coffee table, handed it to Kong Zhiyong with both hands, the smile on Kong Zhiyong's face bloomed, and he said while taking the pen: "Anihasse, Director Zheng Xiyi, of course there is no problem." ”

She turned the book to the title page, and looked at the condition of the book while writing blessings on it, the book is not brand new, although the collection is very good, but the traces of reading can be clearly found, obviously Zheng Xiyi is not saying kind words, this book is not what he just bought to deal with.

Kong Zhiyong, who was quite satisfied in his heart, wrote a blessing and signed his name, then closed the cover and handed it back to Zheng Xiyi with both hands, and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect you to like my work so much, it's really an honor." ”

Zheng Xiyi stretched out his hand to help Kong Zhiyong pull out a chair and invite her to sit down, and said, "Kong writer nim, Kong Liu Xi, please don't be polite, just call me by my name." I'm actually a nominal director, I haven't even participated in the company's board of directors, my sister is helping me take care of it, and I'm just an actor myself. ”

Kong Zhiyong is not at all the very polite character of traditional Korean women, and when she saw Zheng Xiyi's sincere tone, she immediately nodded and said: "Okay, then I'll call you Xiyi directly, in fact, I'm also your fan, I watched "Chaser" six times, all in the cinema, you and Kim Yunxi acted so well, the Blue Dragon Award that year should be awarded to both of you at the same time." ”

Zheng Xiyi beckoned Kong Liu to sit down together, smiled shyly and waved his hand, saying, "Brother Yun Xi's performance is better than mine, and he deserves to win the award." ”

He and Kong Zhiyong chatted very lively, Kong Liu, who was sitting on the side, looked at them stupidly, smiled helplessly, and said secretly in his heart: "People in the circle say that Zheng Xiyi is popular, and he has a smile on everyone's face, and he can especially please his predecessors, which is really true." Writer Kong just met him and said a few words so close, I don't know that I thought that Writer Kong came with him, and I was the one who met for the first time. ”

Zheng Xiyi chatted with Kong Zhiyong about the topic of "The Chaser" again, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Kong Liu sitting on the side in a daze, so he turned his face and said to him with a smile: "Crisp Song Mita, Kong Liu Xi, it was my rudeness, I didn't expect to see Kong writer nim today, so I'm a little excited, I'm sorry I forgot to entertain you." ”

Kong Liu suddenly woke up, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm already very satisfied that Director Zheng Xiyi can find time to meet." ”

Zheng Xiyi had to be polite again, Kong Zhiyong patted Kong Liu's shoulder and said, "Kong Liu, don't be polite to Xiyi, hurry up and talk about things directly." ”

Kong Liu Khan, this eldest sister is really straightforward, and she called Zheng Xiyi's name in less than five minutes after meeting, but he and Kong Zhiyong are also familiar, and he knows that she is this character, so he has to say to Kong Zhiyong embarrassedly: "Nei, Sister Zhiyong, Ah to Yi Smecta." ”

"Director Zheng Xiyi nim, that...... We...... In fact......" Although Kong Liu promised Kong Zhiyong very happily, but if he really wanted to talk to Zheng Xiyi about investment directly, he stuttered a little again, he himself is not as sunny as the actor of "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop", but a little introverted and shy.

Zheng Xiyi saw that he was a little embarrassed, so he directly interjected: "Uh, Kong Liu Xi, Kong writer Nim, your thoughts have been conveyed to our company's President Han Shimin Nim, and I have already learned from President Han Nim, do you want C&C to invest in this movie?"

Saying that, Zheng Xiyi took out the script he received from Han Shimin and put it on the coffee table, the sunlight fell on it through the white gauze curtains, the white cover reflected a hazy halo, and three black Korean characters were printed on the top of the cover, "The Melting Pot" (Well, that's right, Korean is three words, do you think I have to go to Wiki and Google Translate every time to check what the Korean words of those titles are, which seems very professional?).

Seeing that Zheng Xiyi simply said their intentions, Kong Liu felt relieved, spoke neatly, and nodded: "Inside, Director Zheng Xiyi, we do have this idea, I don't know if you and C&C are willing to invest?"

Zheng Xiyi looked at Kong Liu and Kong Zhiyong, there was a trace of anxiety hidden in their eyes, Zheng Xiyi's fingers fell lightly on the script, his speech slowed down, and he said calmly: "I read the script yesterday, it is very good, because it is adapted from the novel by the Confucian writer Nim, I read the novel again last night, and it is still as good as the previous works of the Confucian writer Nim." ”

Kong Zhiyong heard Zheng Xiyi praise her work so much, nodded with a smile and thanked her, Zheng Xiyi smiled and returned the salute, Kong Liu's tense nerves finally relaxed, and his body was no longer straight, but Zheng Xiyi changed his voice and said: "However, Kong Liuxi, before making a final decision, I still have a few questions I want to ask." ”

Kong Liu's body, which had just relaxed a little, stood up again, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, if you have any questions, just ask." ”

Zheng Xiyi raised his eyebrows, stared at Kong Liu and said: "Although I haven't seen Kong Liuxi before, Kong Liuxi has been going around to find investment for a movie since he retired, and I have occasionally heard people talk about it in the crew of "Lone Agent", but I was busy filming at the time, and I don't like to inquire about gossip, so I didn't go to know more, but I didn't expect that Kong Liuxi finally found C&C through Zhun Ji." ”

Kong Liu's face flushed, lowered his eyelids to avoid Zheng Xiyi's sight, Zheng Xiyi didn't care, and continued: "After reading this script, I noticed that Kong Liuxi should be planning to play the male number one Jiang Renhao, but why Kong Liuxi You have been helping to find investment for this movie? Shouldn't this matter be done by the production company or the producer or director? ”

"Ah, this, ah......" Kong Liu didn't expect Zheng Xiyi to ask this, and scratched his head a little embarrassed, not knowing how to answer for a while.

Kong Zhiyong was in a hurry, and when he saw that Kong Liu was speechless, he immediately opened his mouth to take over the topic and said: "I'll answer this question, the reason why Kong Liuxi is responsible for finding investment is because we can't find a film production company willing to make this movie, or even find a director to direct this movie! ”

"Ah, how can this be? There are so many film companies on Zhongwu Road, but none of them are willing? This script is not so bad, is it?" Zheng Xiyi looked down at the script, and felt that this world was too amazing.

He read the script and the novel overnight yesterday, and he knew that the content of this movie was very sensitive, but this is South Korea, and it is all evil capitalism, so how can there be no film production company willing to make this movie? Every year, the United States has films of the same type, and many distribution companies even like to invest in films with such sensitive themes, because such films can easily win awards at film festivals.

Kong Zhiyong smiled bitterly: "Xiyi, you have filmed "The Chaser", you should know that the current state religion of South Korea is actually Christianity (Protestant and Catholic), according to statistics, in 1995, more than a quarter of South Korea's citizens believed in religion, and by 2000, thirty percent of the people were Christians, and today, perhaps more than half of the people are religious, and this movie reflects the sin and darkness in the welfare schools under the church, so ......"

Zheng Xiyi blinked, still a little confused, and said to Kong Zhiyong: "There are also many people in the United States who believe in religion, but films similar to "The Crucible" are also filmed correctly, and even major film companies prefer such movies, with little investment, great influence, which can cause controversy and win awards." ”

Kong Zhiyong sighed and said: "Xiyi, you are right, if it was in the United States, this movie may have been filmed a long time ago, but this is South Korea, a South Korea where officials and businessmen collude and officials protect each other." ”

Zheng Xiyi rubbed his ears unconsciously, if Kong Zhiyong hadn't said Korean instead of Chinese, he would have thought that he was still in Huaxia......

However, Zheng Xiyi still understood what Kong Zhiyong meant, Koreans who are deeply influenced by Confucianism are actually no different from Chinese. Big things are small, small things are turned into small things, think about the fact that after the Black Sea subsided, no one in South Korea re-mentioned this matter and reflected on it, anti culture is still rampant on the Korean Internet, you know what kind of virtue Koreans have for their own ugly things, plus this movie is tantamount to exposing the shady scenes of the church, and it is bound to be suppressed by the Korean Christian community, so it is natural that no film company dares to invest in the production of this movie.

Kong Zhiyong pointed at Kong Liu and said: "Kong Liu Xi saw this novel of mine when he was in the army, and when he was still in the army, he contacted me at the time and said that he wanted to adapt it into a movie and shoot it. At first, people would read the script and then refuse, but then everyone knew what kind of movie he wanted to make, and he refused directly without even reading the script as soon as he saw him, and he even offered zero pay to star in such a condition, but still no one was willing to invest. If it weren't for the fact that there was no way, we wouldn't have found Lee Joon-gi, who had just enlisted in the army, and asked him to help contact C&C. ”

Speaking of these, Kong Zhiyong, such an atmospheric and bold woman, is a little depressed, Kong Liu also remembered his running in the past six months, holding hope again and again, disappointed again and again, being rejected, ridiculed, and even eating closed-door soup, all the warmth and coldness of the world have been experienced, and there is a trace of vicissitudes in his eyes.

Zheng Xiyi was silent for a moment, stretched out his hand to open the script of "The Crucible", looked at the first page was almost blank, only the cast and crew with names filled in behind the actor and screenwriter and said: "Kong Liu Xi, I have two choices for you now, one is that I lend you money, and you are the producer of this movie, but I will play this protagonist, and the other is that I will be the producer of this movie, you will star, you will think about it, which one to choose?"
