Chapter 399: Weeds (Medium)
"I feel like Hyo-joo, you come to the set every time you pinch something...... Busy?"
At the dinner table, a slightly casual question was asked casually, and then it strangely triggered a collective silence.
Yes, this sentence was asked by Kim Jong-myung, and it was Han Hyo-joo who was asked, at a restaurant in Yeongdeungpo-gu, and the time was noon on the fourth day after that phone invitation.
In other words, at this time, Jin Zhongming has fulfilled his sister's requirements, and he successfully made a birthday surprise for her in the TV series. Then the next thing is naturally to go back to their respective homes and find their own mothers.
Among them, TVN's variety show team has to step up editing and production for the first episode to be broadcast next Tuesday, after all, there is not too much material on the set in the past few days, and the crew of "The Heirs" must quickly return to the original track to continue their filming, after all, Korean TV dramas have never reserved much time; Bae Yongjun and the others are also busy people, and they will definitely return to their own rhythm, and even Krystal will continue to be her female number three while spending brain cells on how to fight with her sister next week......
However, there are always some things that can't be avoided before this, such as Jin Zhongming taking the initiative to invite everyone to lunch.
Of course, this is the proper meaning of the question, to put it bluntly, everyone has worked hard for so many days for the sake of Jin Zhongming's face, and although this meal is just a formalized thing, it is also indispensable in interpersonal communication.
And this sentence was asked on such an occasion.
"Count...... Sort of, what's wrong?" After thinking for five or six seconds, Han Xiaozhu replied with some embarrassment.
At this time, there was silence at the main table, which was in stark contrast to the bustle of the surrounding tables.
In fact, I can't help Han Hyo-joo and everyone at the table to react like this, because everyone doesn't believe that Kim Jong-ming doesn't know what people are busy with. And if it is said that the first time you ignore the other party's hints on the phone and forcibly summon them, it is still a real need, and it is also to protect your own face...... In short, if there is a reason for the incident, then this time it seems to be nothing, but in fact, the inquiry with a sense of questioning shows some kind of inexplicable malice.
In fact, in the eyes of many people at the table, this untimely questioning is a bit like a temptation, and a bit like a deliberate suppression and training. As a party concerned, Han Xiaozhu was obviously a little overwhelmed in her heart.
It's just that...... Why?
"What are you busy with?" Jin Zhongming didn't seem to notice the sudden change in the atmosphere on the table, he put down the soju glass as usual, and continued to ask.
"Recently nominated for the Big Bell Award for Best Actress, it's always time to get moving. Han Xiaozhu also put down the wine glass and explained calmly.
In other words, our quasi-queen finally suppressed her emotions, and then simply picked out everything, because she asked herself about this matter, she didn't have any actions against the other party, so she wanted to see what the other party had, why did she suddenly look like this?
Not yin and not yang!
"I see. Jin Zhongming's face still didn't see any change. "It's understandable, after all, there are not many excellent actresses in South Korea, and there are only a few mainstream actresses with actress bonuses...... No wonder. ”
I heard that this is quite normal, and it vaguely makes people think in a good direction, could it be that Kim Zhongming has a conscience attack, and for the sake of the other party's help for a few days, he wants to intervene to help? If this is the case, wouldn't everyone be happy? However, do you have to start this kind of topic in the same tone as just now?
No matter what, for a while, the atmosphere at the wine table was eased, and Han Xiaozhu himself was a little more expectant.
"I want to be my first actor back then," Jin Zhongming continued to speak with an indifferent expression. "It was completely by rubbing the tornado of the 50th anniversary of the teacher's debut, which was a bonus, and it attracted comprehensive criticism in the circle, and in the end he was even forced to go abroad and hide for a while. However, after all, it is the actor of the three awards, whether it is a giveaway or a criticism, everyone will recognize it after the turmoil has passed. In fact, after winning that award, the professional vision and social status of the whole person have directly risen to a higher level...... Therefore, this kind of hard honor, no matter how difficult it is, can still be won. ”
"Who says it's not?" Han Xiaozhu's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this. "So I've been busy all these geniuses, and I've put a lot of energy into film promotion and public relations......"
"But the effect has not been very good?" Jin Zhongming suddenly interrupted the other party and asked.
"That's right. Han Hyo-joo's eyes brightened even more. "I did feel a lot of resistance, compared with several seniors, obviously everyone is doing the same propaganda work, but I can't feel their natural treatment, and even a little difficult to move forward at one point. There were few people who came to a film forum, and there was no clear response or response to the DVDs sent to the judges......"
"That's because you're a contracted artist with BH. Kim Jong-ming interrupted the other party's narrative again, and then gave a surprise answer. "Last year's Dazhong Awards, Li Bingxian's predecessors were too much of the limelight, and one movie almost covered the entire Dazhong Awards, so even if it is to avoid suspicion, this Dazhong Award will not be given to BH Entertainment's leading female artist. ”
Han Hyo-joo was obviously stunned for a moment, and then looked at the other party with a completely speechless gaze, and not only her, but also Krystal, who had been silent, almost everyone at the table secretly glanced at Jin Zhongming with a strange gaze.
You must know that the organizing committee of the Daejong Award will of course have scruples about Han Hyo-joo because of last year's events. But don't forget, when "The Two-Faced King" made a big news last year, the spearhead of public opinion was open, half of it was aimed at Lee Byung-hun, and the other half was aimed at the film's producer, CJ Pictures, and CJ Pictures is your Kim Jong-myung's industry. It is even rumored that the reason why Han Hyo-joo specially chose the cutting-edge NE company to cooperate with the movie "The Monitors" this time is because she does not want to be affected by CJ Pictures at the Daejong Awards.
Therefore, there must be no problem with Jin Zhongming's words logically, and no one can refute them...... It's just a bit shameless.
"That'...... What should I do?" After holding back for a long time, Han Xiaozhu could only ask like this.
"I do have an idea. Jin Zhongming didn't seem to notice the strange eyes of the people around him, but replied to himself. "I think the Big Bell Award ...... In fact, I've heard people say that if it weren't for the fact that your movie had a good release date, and it happened to be the hottest time at the box office just before the nomination date of the big bell, maybe you wouldn't have made it to the list of candidates this time. So, I mean, if you really want to hit the queen with this movie, first of all, you should strategically give up the Don't Be Sad About yourself Dazhong Award, and instead concentrate on the Blue Dragon Award at the end of next month......"
Han Hyo-joo immediately became serious, because Kim Jong-myeong's proposal was indeed a good strategy. Moreover, if you take into account that the other party meant this from the beginning, then this guy seems to have a more reasonable explanation for his tone and attitude before...... Anyway, I don't think you have any hope for the Big Bell Award, so naturally I won't care if you're busy or not.
However, it doesn't matter if these are over, they are all in the past, in Han Xiaozhu's opinion, the most important point now is that since the other party has said so, there must be an intention to help himself for the sake of his hard work in the past few days...... Or else?
"Change the strategic direction first, then...... And then?" As soon as she thought of this, Han Xiaozhu couldn't help but ask urgently.
"Then, I think you should separate from BH as soon as possible, so as not to be dragged down by them again. Jin Zhongming still suggested with a serious face.
For a moment, the other people at the table were either stunned or stunned, but they all seemed to understand something.
"What the hell is going on?" When it was evening, Lee Byung-hun was called to the company's headquarters by his agent, Sun Seok-woo, the president of BH Entertainment.
"We don't know what's going on. Sun Xiyu was also at a loss. "And suddenly that's it...... Hyo-joo didn't even understand what was going on, and she was still inquiring about the news. ”
"It's really ......" Lee Byung-hun sat on Sun Seok-woo's president's seat, not knowing what to say at all. "It's really a disaster from the sky, why do you want to dig up Xiaozhu so nakedly?"
"Bingxian. Sun Xiyu's tone was a little serious. "It's not a question of whether to dig up Hyo-joo or not, it's a matter of Kim Jong-ming's attitude, he is not a person who digs in private, he digs it in front of so many people at the wine table. Obviously, he just wants to tell us, and he also wants to tell everyone, that the protection and stability that we used to rely on in exchange for selling shares now don't count! The two have nothing to do with each other, and he won't protect us!"
"Really?" replied Li Bingxian in a trance. "So this person is really inexplicable...... There has to be some reason, right?"
Sun Xiyu wanted to speak and stopped...... In other words, as the CEO who is actually responsible for the company's operation, he actually has some ideas, that is, whether it is BH Entertainment or Lee Byung-hun himself, he has indeed been a little too presumptuous in the past year!
Therefore, Jin Zhongming did this, in Sun Xiyu's opinion, it is very likely that someone in the circle blew something from the other party, and in the end, it did cause some dissatisfaction with this guy.
Of course, even so, Sun Xiyu can't say it, because first, the company is Li Bingxian's company, and secondly, he is the CEO of the company, and the two are one, so no matter where the other party is dissatisfied, it will definitely not be able to run out of the scope of the two of them...... It's really useless to talk too much.
In addition, the more important point is that Sun Xiyu actually thinks exactly the same as Li Bingxian in his heart, that is, Kim Jong-ming is really inauthentic in doing this! If there is something wrong, whether it is Li Bingxian's personal problem or the company's problem, let's do it before, you should at least give us a prophet, and then give us a chance to sit down and discuss, right?
Are we stupid enough to ignore you?!
When the time comes, whether you are high or approachable, put your ideas and opinions on the table, if we feel that we can accept it, we will take the initiative to make adjustments, if we feel that it is unacceptable, it is not too late to turn around when the time comes?
For no reason, I just shot it up and didn't say anything, and obviously wanted to poach our leading lady with emotions...... Why?!
"There must be a reason, so we still have to network as soon as possible and find out what is going on. After sitting for a while, Li Bingxian seemed to have finally sobered up, and he rubbed his puffy eye bubbles and instructed slightly. "And Hyo-joo, she's not what she used to be now, so she must hold on...... Although it is a good thing to take the initiative to tell us about this matter, it is likely that it is only because of her principles of being a person and doing things, and it does not mean that she will not leave. ”
"I'm already doing what I want to do. Sun Xiyu reminded a little helplessly. "But the effect is not very good, as soon as everyone hears that it is Jin Zhongming, they are reluctant to meddle or talk nonsense. As for the matter of Hyo-joo...... Bingxian, I have to remind you that she is after the impact of the movie, this is a major event that can affect her for a lifetime, and if she gets it, she will be able to rank with Jun Ji-hyun, Kim Ya-jung, Son Ye-jin, Kim Min-hee, and in this matter, Kim Jong-myeong's influence is much stronger than ours!"
Li Bingxian did not answer, but put down his hand and knocked on the table a little inexplicably, and Sun Xiyu did not speak again. In fact, when the words came to this, both of them reacted from the panic at the beginning, that is, if they want to solve this mess, they must find the crux of the matter, and before they understand the crux of the matter, in the face of Jin Zhongming's strength and strength, all complaints, discussions and actions are meaningless.
However, I don't know if everyone in the circle is concerned about Kim Jong-myeong's prestige, or whether Lee Byung-hun and BH Entertainment have been a little too ostentatious to be unpopular recently, or maybe Sun Xiyu is inquiring in the wrong direction, anyway, the two have been sitting in the office for hours, but they haven't gotten any useful news at all. Until eight or nine o'clock in the evening, after synthesizing all kinds of information, I vaguely learned that there seemed to be a villain who was indeed making trouble, and sent some black materials to Jin Zhongming. As for the specific materials, and the subsequent development, in fact, I am still confused.
After waiting for a while, seeing that there was still no progress, the two of them gradually lost their patience. And just as they were about to go home first, Sun Xiyu's mobile phone on the table suddenly trembled again...... Obviously, this is another message from someone through Kakao.
This scene has happened many times tonight, and I can only hope that this time it will not disappoint the two.
"Hyo-joo's message. Sun Xiyu clicked on it and glanced at it roughly, and then his face became a little confused. She was also inquiring about the reason for this incident, and she said that an acquaintance from TVN told her that it seemed that Kim Jong Ming had something wrong with you in a variety show. asked again, and the acquaintance was unwilling to risk offending his boss, but he just said that everyone would know when the variety show was broadcast next Tuesday, because Jin Zhongming specifically instructed him not to do editing...... You've been on a variety show with Kim Jong Ming recently?!How come I don't know?!"
Of course, Lee Byung-hun was also confused.
