PS2: The next chapter, "The Crucible", is concluded.

On January 30, it was a Sunday, and on this afternoon, the scene of the most difficult male teacher in the bathroom where the little boy was assaulted was finally filmed in the torment of the whole crew.

At this moment, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, with the end of this scene, those disgusting but helpless plots have finally come to an end. However, the more important point is that today is already the 27th day of the lunar New Year! Yes, the Chinese New Year is a matter of the blink of an eye...... Therefore, Jin Zhongming fulfilled his promise the night before yesterday as a matter of course, and he directly gave the whole crew a holiday, so that everyone could go back early and celebrate the New Year with peace of mind!

It's true to think about all kinds of things, but for an Oriental, this is the New Year after all? What's more, today, as the last normal work of the year, the money in the routine white envelope sent out in advance after lunch is five times that of normal days...... If you think about it, this is simply a paid vacation, so everyone's mood is rarely completely relaxed.

In this way, the crew with a good mentality finally appeared again in a situation that only existed in the first few days of assembly, busy and happy. While talking and laughing, everyone put away all the shooting equipment and movie props, and if there is still something to use, it will be stored in the studio or in the room of the school, and some are estimated to be unnecessary, so they will simply load the car and pull it back to Seoul. And after the equipment is summarized, the studio will have to be re-strengthened, because the weather forecast says that it is likely to snow during the New Year, and it would be hilarious if these temporary buildings were really crushed by the snow.

And the believers of the Lingguang Society, who have been insisting on coming to sing hymns these days, did not say much after seeing this situation, but came to wish the people on the set a safe and healthy New Year, and then turned around and dispersed...... This, in turn, made everyone on the set more happy.

However, at this time, although Jin Zhongming also looked like he was smiling, there was a hint of weirdness in his smile.

"Chu Long...... Why are you here?" Jin Zhongming raised an eyebrow at his girlfriend in some surprise.

"I miss you......" Chu Long replied with a slight tilt of his head. "So I came with the convoy of the security company. ”

Jin Zhongming was angry and funny, he seemed to want to say something to explain, but in front of so many people who ate melons, he didn't know what to say, so he could only smile reluctantly: "Okay, come here, come here, but I have to be busy today, I have to check the list, you ...... Let's go and help some of the female seniors pack up their things!"

Chu Long didn't care, pouted a little and ran away, which made Jin Zhongming helpless, he really couldn't say some words in front of so many people. However, as he himself said, today is indeed very busy, the permanent set that has been used for a month has to be on vacation, the people of the security company have to be on duty, so many people, so many equipment, so many salutes and vehicles...... So, Jin Zhongming immediately put down these strange thoughts and returned to work, only to see him wearing black-framed glasses, holding a list of equipment almost three fingers thick, or counting, or helping to carry it, and soon tired and sweaty.

And just then, Yuna and Sika came again. But at this time, the busyness on the set has entered the white heat, and no one pays attention to them at all. Of course, Jin Zhongming, who was holding the list, was the most conspicuous one in the entire school open space at the moment, and no one paid attention to these two people and quickly found him.

"This box is a folding stand for a cantilever camera, labeled Z-bar 237, remember not to separate the whole equipment, it is all stored in a studio......! Mao Mao?" Jin Zhongming also raised his eyes and saw the two people. "And ...... Yuna, right? Now that you're here, just take a walk, I'm busy!"

However, that's just this sentence, after finishing speaking, Jin Zhongming didn't do anything superfluous, and didn't even say hello to Sika again, but continued to carefully arrange and check these headache equipment: "Remember...... The photographic equipment should be stacked centrally, and then let Zhang Enhyuk set up a list independently there, and when the seal is opened after the New Year, the two should be compared......"

Sika and Yun'er glanced at each other, but they were helpless, originally the two of them didn't call to give each other a meaning similar to a New Year's surprise, but who would have thought that they would encounter this kind of thing as soon as they came? Of course, having said that, so many female seniors are busy, no matter how reluctant they are, they have to press their extra thoughts to help several female seniors move things.

And then...... Sika saw Chu Long at a glance!, however, her expression became strange for a moment, because something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was going on for a while.

"Ernie?" Chu Long also saw Sika and Yun'a, and there was obviously a sense of weakness in his tone.

Sika stood there fixedly, and then suddenly nodded with a smile: "Chu Long...... You came here by yourself and didn't say hello to Wood?"

"Hmm. Chu Long nodded.

"Let's get to work, then. However, after hearing this answer, Sika did not say anything more, but smiled instead, and went on to get busy.

In this way, the three of them worked hard to help several female staff members of the crew move things, but fortunately, girls have to be treated preferentially after all, after the busiest wave of men, women and children went into battle, soon young and strong men came to pick up the work, and the three of them were able to take the opportunity to catch Baker, who didn't know where to play hide and seek with the three bear children before, and then took a good rest on the cement platform of a flower bed in front of the teaching building.

However, as soon as he sat down, Baker wagged his tail and tried to break free from the dog chain in Yun'er's hand, and when he saw the familiar nanny car driving into the school gate and an excited little girl with a big forehead jumped out of it, Chu Long no longer knew whether to cry or laugh...... But it was Sika, but the smile on his face was very obvious and strange.

However, all kinds of situations naturally have their own interpretations for the smart Yun'er:

Chu Long came to find Jin Zhongming to live in the world of the two, but was inadvertently destroyed by the arrival of the two of them and Ermao, who had just gotten out of the car! Sicaoni noticed this, but she didn't need to hide it in her heart like herself, so she laughed directly. As for Ermao...... It's better to come early than to come by chance, this bear kid doesn't have to move things at all!"

Although as Yun'er said, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon when Ermao came, and the heaviest manual labor had ended, but even so, Jin Zhongming, as the soul of the set, could not end the work so easily. In fact, by the time he had finished counting the list of books in his hand, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

"You guys shouldn't be here!" Jin Zhongming, who was tired and sweating profusely, took off his coat directly, and then squeezed into the position between Krystal and Baker, fortunately, the cement platform of this flower bed was long enough. "The crew is about to take annual leave...... After filming in the afternoon, everyone was tidying up their things, what's the use of coming?"

"I just wanted to surprise OPPA. Chu Long also had some meaning of crying and laughing, and now she can't say anything.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Yun'er also spoke a little helplessly. "We've been really busy lately, so we finally had time today, so we just came over. ”

"I'm here by order. Krystal replied with Baker's head in his arms. "Teacher Li Xiuman specially gave me a day off this afternoon and tomorrow...... Let me hurry over and deliver a message to Wood. ”

"That's no problem. Jin Zhongming breathed a sigh of relief, and then stroked his wet hair.

"Don't do that. Sika reached out and tugged at Krystal. "It's such a cold day, and it's still windy, aren't you afraid of catching a cold when you're sweating here?"

"It's fine. Jin Zhongming sneered. "You take off your gloves and feel the wind here. ”

Sika, who was too lazy to even take off his gloves, certainly didn't do it, but Krystal, who was in practice, took off his gloves and tried it.

"Oh!" Krystal's eyes lit up. "It's hot air...... Why?"

"Because all the buildings in the whole school, from the classrooms to the dormitories, from the auditorium to the office area, the heating is so strong that basically every morning the people on the set have to drink water first, otherwise their lips will be chapped. So, when it's windy like today, we open all the doors so that we can create a separate heat island in the open area of the school......"

"Really...... I have seen it for a long time. Sika tentatively removed the gloves as well. "There is no air conditioning here...... It's really rare. ”

"What are you pretending?" said Jin Zhongming with a smile. "Didn't you stay in this kind of standby room with no air conditioning and only ** heating when you first debuted? It's only been a few years, and you've forgotten this kind of heat wave when you become a senior?"

"That's right. Sika had a hard time not talking back. "Good work. ”

In this way, the five of them sat side by side on the cement platform of the flower bed and said a few words of gossip casually, and Jin Zhongming finally asked the meaning decently:

"Let's talk, Ermao will tell me what Li Xiuman's message is. And as for the three of you...... I'll just assume you're here to visit the class. ”

"I'm here to visit. Sika's answer was succinct. "But Yuna has said it many times before to apologize......"

Yuna also nodded a little embarrassed.

"Say ...... one by one," Kim Jongming waved his hand and motioned for Krystal to speak first. "What did Li Xiuman tell you to say? So mysterious?"

"It's not a mysterious thing. Krystal shook his head. "Mr. Lee so-man will receive the presidential award at the Blue House the night after tomorrow...... He seemed to be afraid that you would not want to go, so he asked me to come over, saying that it would show his sincerity. ”

"Yes!" Jin Zhongming nodded casually. "It didn't work before, but now the crew is going to take annual leave, I ...... I just tried to get over the night after tomorrow, but I don't know how much money he spent to buy this medal, how do I remember that when he bought this thing in the second half of the year, he just asked the Ministry of Culture to award the medal......"

"It's my turn. Hearing that the other party's tone began to become loose, Yuna also noticed the other party's disdain, so she took this opportunity to speak. "Didn't understand what you mean that day...... I also burst into foul language, I'm really sorry. ”

"Okay. Jin Zhongming tilted his head to look at Yun'er, then sat up and grabbed Baker, who was wagging his tail and wanted to leave. "Thank you to our little crystal princess for coming to deliver the letter, and thank you to our Miss Xiaolongbao and Miss Ice Princess for coming to visit the class, and at the same time, I am also willing to accept Miss Lin Yun'er's apology for her foul language...... Okay, right?"

"Actually...... That's fine. Sika replied with some smugness. "I thought you'd have a hard time here...... Who would have thought that the mental state was actually good. ”

"That's good. Jin Zhongming didn't pay attention to Sika's nonsense, but changed his words and began to directly pick up people. "But as you can see, there has just been an annual leave here, and everyone is leaving, and only a dozen or so people from the security company will stay here to do caretaker work during the Chinese New Year. And...... The convoy is going back to Seoul soon, so if you're done, go back as soon as possible, and be safer with you. ”

"Okay!" Sika replied casually.

Krystal nodded indifferently.

However, after Chu Long nodded her head slightly, she suddenly reacted, "What does oppa mean...... How do you feel like you're not going to go with us?"

Hearing this, Sika and the others also turned their heads to look at Jin Zhongming exploratory.

"That's right. Jin Zhongming, who snatched Baker's dog's head from Krystal's arms, immediately changed his tone of helplessness. "Actually, the film was very difficult to shoot in Gwangju, and there were a lot of troubles...... Especially the political pressure, so I have to look around for the Chinese New Year before I can go back. Of course, if you can't finish it, you may not go back for the New Year, as I said before. ”

"Is it politics again?" Yuna's tone was a little low, even close to muttering to herself.

"Is there anything you don't understand?" Jin Zhongming glanced at the other party lightly.

"Nothing. Yun'er replied with some depression. "It's just that when Mr. Li Xiuman talked to me to explain this movie to me, I felt a little shocked in my mind, and I originally had the intention of asking you, but now I heard Crystal talk about the teacher being awarded by the president, and the sense of impact is even stronger. ”

"What impact? Listen to it specifically. Jin Zhongming leaned back on Chu Long's back with some disdain, and then stretched out a foot to suppress the innocent Baker, because of his growing size, Baker has gradually recovered the function of his predecessors as a footboard these days.

"Actually, it's nothing. Yuna bowed her head and explained. "It's just that I've always felt that I've been fighting for so long and I'm already a character, but this incident still makes me feel like there's an invisible film covering my head...... Is it true that I will never touch the height of the word politics in my life? and should I never touch him in my life. ”

The corners of Jin Zhongming's mouth curved slightly, but he did not speak.

"And then it's oppa, you and Mr. Li Xiuman, maybe it's because I've jumped relatively fast over the years, in fact, I once felt that there was no gap between me and a big figure in the entertainment industry like you, at least the gap was not so big as a qualitative change. But this time......"

"You're thinking too much. Jin Zhongming suddenly spoke with a normal face. "On this issue, Yun'a, you have walked into a dead end. ”

Yuna naturally looked at Jin Zhongming, as if waiting for the other party's answer. In fact, her 'apology' itself has this purpose, and for a long time, from childhood to adulthood, the other party has always played the role of an elder brother who is willing to come over again and again to give her psychological counseling.

This time, of course, there should be no exception. Otherwise, with her degree of thoroughness, she would definitely not talk about this topic in front of Chu Long, who can be called an acquaintance but actually does not have a deep relationship.

"Politics is not as complicated as you think. Kim Jong-ming had been showing a deliberately dismissive image all afternoon, but this time he was dismissive from the bottom of his heart. "What is politics? It is only a matter of standpoint, what is political struggle, and what is the same party. It's not a tall thing, running for a class president in an elementary school, grabbing a position for authority in an online chat room, fighting for a faΓ§ade in an undebuted group, two department managers in a company grabbing some funds, and then going to an industry representative to run for a city council...... The essence of these things is that they are actually the same thing, there are more people and few things, as long as someone chooses to participate in competition in a certain way for the distribution of interests, it is called political struggle. Even more extreme, if people have sisters and brothers since birth, then grabbing a pacifier is also a political struggle, regardless of whether you beat your sister with your fist and dare not move, or deliberately cry in front of your mother, what is the difference between these and today's presidential election?"

Yuna was in a trance, and it was obvious that Kim Jong-ming's words had a great impact on her. And Sika and Krystal's eyes were a little erratic, probably because of the statement of punching their sister and deliberately crying in front of their mother, which made them both feel a little weak. As for Chu Long, Jin Zhongming turned his back to her, so naturally he couldn't see any expression, but considering that the other party did not stop helping him sort out his gradually drying hair, she should not pay attention to this.

"Of course. Jin Zhongming talked eloquently, looking very good at talking. "This is to put politics in a small way. This thing can be said to be bigger and bigger, how does that famous saying come about...... 'War is the continuation of politics', what does it mean? Quite simply, this means that war is actually the largest and most extreme manifestation of partisanship and disagreement for mankind......"

"I don't understand this......" Yun'er was a little flustered.

"I mean it very simply. Kim Jong-ming suddenly pulled his foot back from Baker's body, and then stomped on the ground with this foot. "The world is not as layered as you think, at least there is no 'film' as you imagined. In fact, as long as you stand up straight and look at some problems, everything is visible, because at least in this shabby place as South Korea, there is no absolute power, and any political party and president are not as serious as you think. What if Li Xiuman and I are involved in this kind of thing now? To tell you the truth, this is the same as when you were a child, I went to get involved in the fight between the trainees in the S.M company. ”

Yun'er still looked a little dazed, which made Jin Zhongming a little impatient, he stomped his feet again, and then continued to speak with some irritability:

"Let's take this matter as an example, the reason why I kicked you out in the first place is that I just feel that you are not capable enough...... If you really want to act, so what?"

"But...... Teacher Li Xiuman ......, "Yun'er doesn't know what to say.

"What if Li Xiuman really lets you play?" Jin Zhongming asked calmly.

"It's always a little different, isn't it?" Yuna's brain had turned into a mess.

"Of course there are differences. Jin Zhongming replied indifferently. "But it's just a simple mathematical cost problem, I let you act at the expense of the quality of the movie, so for me, the cost of choosing Liu Renna is lower than the cost of choosing you, so I choose Liu Renna. Li Xiuman asked you to act, and he would lose the protective shell he spent a lot of money to build, so for Li Xiuman, it was more expensive to let you shoot than not to let you shoot, so he wanted to scare you once. ”

"But...... Who controls this cost-effective decision?" Yun'er keenly thought of a question. "Is it the person who sets the conditions or the people who crack the conditions?"

"That's smart!" Jin Zhongming's mouth curved slightly, revealing a hint of a smile. "That's the real crux of the matter. The same thing, the same situation, the same problem, some people can do some things, and some people are unwilling to do some things, which is not to say who is right and who is wrong, but ...... For a writer who seems to be on the top, there is always a completely uncontrollable variable in the answer...... That is the human heart of the person who answered the question, and what the human heart is like, the other person's heart can never be guessed! It is possible that everything will go smoothly and finally come to fruition according to one's own reasoning, but it is also possible that everything will not go well and end up in a situation where stealing chickens and rice will not be lost!"

"So. Kim Jong Ming suddenly stopped laughing. "This thing...... Yun'a, you underestimate yourself too much, and you think too highly of others. In fact, there is no absolute lack of resistance in this world, nor is there absolute manipulation of life and death, only the subservience chosen because of cowardice, prudence, and conservatism, and the oppression caused by greed, arrogance, and arrogance...... However, there is a limit to everything, and once there is something that goes against people's hearts and changes the standard of choice in people's hearts, then some things will be reversed......"

"What do you mean?" Yuna began to faint again. "That's good...... What does this reversal mean?"

"It's not interesting. Jin Zhongming suddenly leaned on Chu Long's shoulder and raised his head. "The last sentence is just a few examples that came to mind and came out of nowhere, and you can take it as a nonsense sentence of mine...... However, as the saying goes, 'If you don't believe and look up, who will the heavens forgive?'"

Yuna also looked up, but she really didn't understand, although she thought she understood the other party's words at first.

"Let's go back!" Jin Zhongming looked at the sun sinking in the distance, and then pointed to the convoy that had begun to assemble. "Keeping up with the convoy and having someone drive for you along the way can also save your agent effort, after all, a three-hour drive is hard enough to go back and forth. ”

"It's fine. Yun'er stood up with some confusion and confusion. "Then we'll ......"

"Yun'er go back......" Sika suddenly said. "I stayed overnight. ”

"Hey!" Jin Zhongming's reaction was a little speechless. "Why bother? The conditions here are so bad, just this heating, if you really blow it overnight, it will blow your ice princess's skin apart...... And only the people from the security company will come over to be on duty at night, plus I'm all big guys, how inconvenient is it for you to be a girl here?"

"I'm going to kill you all night!" said Sika's words, but she quickly slowed down her tone. "Besides...... Ermao and Chu Long can also stay, and the three of us will live together in the girls' dormitory over there, where will it get in the way of your affairs?"

Jin Zhongming glanced at Sika in a daze, he knew that it should be his slightly excited emotions that made this girl see something, but if it was these three people, it didn't matter.

Thinking of this, Jin Zhongming stood up, then walked to a studio on the side, and when he came out again, he had that thick list of supplies in his hand.

"What the three of you say...... You can only see it, but you can't say it. With that, Jin Zhongming casually threw the list on Sika, and then ...... Just left.

"Then I'll go first. Yun'a stood up in a daze. "Ernie you ......"

"I'll spend the night. Sika turned her head and explained gently to Yuna. "Yun'er, go back first...... It doesn't matter if you don't understand some words, you should understand them when you grow up. ”

"Then Oni, I'll go first. Yuna stood up and looked at a queue of vehicles near the school gate, and really felt that she should take the opportunity to leave, Sika and the three of them had a reason to stay here for the night, but she really couldn't stay longer. "Crystal and Chu Long too. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Goodbye Yoon-Oni. ”

"Goodbye, senior. ”

A quarter of an hour later, Sika closed the list with some headaches, and then threw it to Krystal impatiently, she felt that she had never read a book so seriously in her life, but this book turned out to be a list of supplies.

Wood said you can only see what you can't say...... Is it for us to see this?" Krystal quickly turned a few pages after taking the list, after all, she was much better than her sister in mathematics and science, but she was also a little dizzy immediately, so she hurriedly handed it to Chu Long. "I can't see anything."

"I don't see it either. After all, Chu Long worked as a secretary, and she read this thing faster, more neatly and more deeply, but obviously she didn't find anything. "But...... I realized that making a movie requires so many expensive equipment, so many materials for setting up the set, and a lot of props and costumes for the actors...... No wonder the film company has such a high entry ......"

ps: I said in the group before that when the novel was first written, it was powerless, but now it is powerful and unintentional...... At the beginning, I had time, passion and feelings, and I wanted to write better but I was helpless, but now at least there are fewer typos anyway, but there is no time at all, and feelings and passions are also consumed by daily life...... For two days in a row, I dozed off at night, slept from six to eight, opened my eyes and slept a few words, and then fell asleep again at ten o'clock twice, and then got up again in the early morning. However, fortunately, Saturday is here, and I will try to pull the festival back as much as possible, and everyone will supervise. (To be continued.) )
