Chapter 353 Two Su Yuan
When the two arrived in Changwon, it was already late.
The lights have been turned off on the entire set of "Su Yuan", and only a few security guards who have stayed here are still there. However, Jin Zhongming didn't care about anything, he asked the location of the hotel where the crew was staying, and then took Xu Xian to turn around and go to the hotel.
When they came to the hotel, some important people in the crew obviously got the news from the previous security personnel on the set, and many people waited at the door of the hotel early, and then swarmed to greet them.
"Why did you come here so late, I thought you would be here tomorrow?" The only one who can talk so casually is director Li Junyi, he is not only the top director in the country, but also the director of Kim Jong-ming when he won the first actor with the momentum of An Shengji, in a sense, he is a benefactor on the road of this movie, and it is the kind of special significance, so he can naturally be informal.
"There was a delay at noon at Jindo-gun. Jin Zhongming replied disapprehantly. "Then I drank a few more glasses, and I could only let Xiaoxian take my hand when I drove, so I came very slowly......"
Li Junyi nodded slightly in understanding, and the other people who came over also took the opportunity to speak out to Jin Zhongming for their hard work, and their attitude was extremely courteous.
However, Jin Zhongming obviously had no intention of communicating with these people, he smiled slightly and listened to these people after filming their sycophants, and then not only rejected the proposal to let the young actors who had fallen asleep come out to meet, but also took the initiative to dismiss most of the people gathered here. In fact, in the end, when the hotel sent the supper to the corner of the lobby, except for Jin Zhongming and Xu Xian, only Li Junyi was left alone, and even Xue Jingqiu was pushed back to the room by Jin Zhongming.
However, it is precisely like this, because of the first night driving for the first time, Xu Xian's whole body was tense, and Xu Xian finally felt a trace of complete relief.
Without him, Kim Jong-ming and Lee Jun-ik, the conversation between these two people is really normal, and the normal ones are a bit too much......
The two first talked about the performance of some actors, how Xue Jingqiu was, how the young actors were, and how the supporting actors were; then the equipment of the film, which part of the shooting needed this kind of shot, and then the filming process...... Or something like that.
In short, this made Xu Xian, who had been tired all day, both a little relieved and a little disappointed, relieved that she finally didn't have to think about those messy human feelings, and disappointed that she hadn't found out what was surprising about this movie that Kim Jong-ming was so fond of.
"Sounds like everything is going well. Jin Zhongming leaned on the sofa in the hotel lobby and said. "You don't have to worry about the hardware, I will do my best to satisfy this side, and then the little actor has spirituality, Xue Wan didn't use too much force, plus the local government didn't add any resistance, then basically there should be no problem......"
"Zhong Ming, you take it for granted. Li Junyi immediately interrupted the other party with a smile. "How can this kind of movie be so easy?"
"Specifically?" asked Kim Jong-ming earnestly. "Director Li, don't worry, since I said I would do my best, I will definitely do my best to help you get to the bottom of this movie. ”
"Not in that regard. Li Junyi continued to shake his head and smiled. "There's something you can't help with. ”
Jin Zhongming was stunned for a moment, but immediately laughed dryly: "It's because the plot is too embarrassing, and then who can't hold it psychologically?"
Li Junyi nodded, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the tip of his nose: "It's me." ”
Jin Zhongming was silent for a moment, but it was only for a moment: "The script was written by your predecessors." ”
"It's because I wrote it myself. Li Junyi couldn't help but smile bitterly. "So everyone else is fine, I'm the only one who can't hold on...... Have you read the script?"
"I know roughly the prototype of that thing, so I didn't dare to read your script. "Jin Zhongming is also a bachelor. "And I didn't even look at it. ”
"That's right. Li Junyi immediately sighed. "You only know the general idea of things, plus you have "The Crucible" at the bottom, and you can imagine something, so you didn't go at all, and you didn't take the initiative to understand the specific situation in reality...... This is understandable. But in that case, you may not be able to understand why I kept changing the script and changed it to the way it is...... To be honest, the current script is too far from the same. ”
Jin Zhongming hesitated for a moment, then got up from the sofa and leaned forward and said: "Director Li, with all due respect, sometimes, it is necessary to add some warm plots and sunny colors to the movie. This is like the movie "The Crucible", how can there be a protagonist who is desperate for the children in reality? The prototype of the two protagonists, one is to personify a social assistance organization with a large group of volunteers, and the other is to bring together several people who show their human side in the whole incident, which is barely constructed...... Without this kind of virtual righteous personality, where would the movie come from? It's too dark, to put it mildly, who is it for? And if no one watches it, what's the point of the movie, no matter how good the connotation is?"
"That's what I said. Li Junyi shook his head. "It's not that I don't understand the truth, so you don't need to comfort me, because this time I actually went too far...... Let me be honest with you, this time I am simply a woman, and if this continues, I am afraid that it will in turn affect the structure of the whole movie, and then cause another irreversible chaos. ”
"What the hell is going on?" Kim Jong Ming lay back on the back of the sofa.
"If you want to talk about this, you have to start with the prototype case itself, which you should know. Li Junyi said as he glanced at Xu Xian, who had not spoken all along. "Two cases, one is the 08-year-old girl, who was assaulted and disabled for life, and the other is the case that happened last year, the 7-year-old girl was assaulted and disabled for life......
Xu Xian felt that his eyelids immediately jumped uncontrollably.
That's right, with Li Junyi's rough narration, the two stories behind the movie "Su Yuan" are roughly spread out in front of you, and just like the story behind "The Melting Pot", each one is so depressing that people feel powerless even to sigh.
One of the cases occurred in '08, where an 8-year-old girl was assaulted and then disabled for life, but the judicial system was as malreassuring as ever, and the suspect was sentenced to 12 years in such a serious case, and Nima was sentenced to a reduced sentence because the suspect was drunk at the time. And what happened later was also a rehash of the old tune, the people were dissatisfied, the two factions in the parliament fought fiercely, one faction took the opportunity to use public opinion to attack the opponent, and Li Niu, who had just ended the beef crisis, wanted to gather public opinion, so he immediately jumped out and performed a wave of Li Qingtian's drama.
In the end, the judicial community was disgraced and the sentence was commuted to a heavy sentence, and the state compensated the child's medical expenses.
The second case took place in the past 12 years, when a 7-year-old girl took a nap at home in the summer, and then suffered the same cruelty as the other victim, also with a lifelong disability, and then the suspect also tried to seek a light sentence on the pretext that he was drunk.
Needless to say, the 12 years of consultation were more likely to get angry than the 08 years, so this incident once again caused public dissatisfaction with the judicial system. And this time, it was the Congress that quarreled first, and then Li Niu also played the role of Li Qingtian, and finally led and promoted the implementation of chemical castration in South Korea. At the same time, in view of the fact that the suspect himself has no civil capacity, this time it is also turned to the state to bear the medical expenses of the little girl.
In short, these two things can actually be called a single-player version of the "Crucible" event. The only difference is that the two suspects themselves have no power, and there is no Catholic lord behind them, so there is no pressure on the media and the public to scold, and the official action is extremely fast, and the matter is very fast.
However, what Li Junyi wants to say is not on this side.
"There is nothing to talk about in the case itself, and soon the dust settled, and no one can say that the government did not do enough in the end, and I forgot about it after a while after a while, as I was very concerned about this matter last year. Li Junyi smiled slightly self-deprecatingly. "Then it wasn't until the end of last year that all of a sudden, I saw a book called "Su Yuan", which was about the case in '08...... After reading it, I suddenly felt that my performance in the summer was really ridiculous, and I signed on the Internet to ask for a change of sentence, and I was interviewed by reporters and scolded for judicial dereliction of duty, because the crux of the problem is not at all how many years the criminal suspect was sentenced, but how to protect the little girl who was only seven or eight years old at the time!"
At this moment, Xu Xian's eyelids jumped again, but Jin Zhongming could still keep his composure, it seemed that he did understand some things for a long time.
After reading it, I couldn't help but contact the author in person, and I understood. Li Junyi continued to smile bitterly. "After the case was closed in '08, the little girl's life has been very difficult, her uterus and rectum are permanently damaged, she can only live on a fecal bag, she can't have children in her life, she is unlikely to have menstruation, and she needs treatment every once in a while...... But in those days, to tell the truth, even if there are medical expenses that the state is responsible for, what is the use, it is still a symptom rather than a cure, right? The little girl was eight years old at the time, and she already knew something, and when she grew up, she understood better what was going on, so she herself was already in a very painful state, but she was ridiculed by her classmates when she went to school, and she was whispered by new neighbors when she walked out the door, and a reporter would pop up from time to time on the way, and her parents would fight and quarrel every day because of her...... Who can stand it?"
"What should I do if I can't stand it?" Xu Xian asked cautiously, saying that she really couldn't help it.
"Of course it's suicide!" replied Kim Jong-ming with a blank face.
"yes. Li Junyi also nodded. "The ending of the case in 08 was that the child couldn't hold on when he grew up, and chose to commit suicide after he had a younger brother. ”
"Did you commit suicide?" Xu Xian actually had a premonition, but he still didn't get angry. "Now that the matter is over, why bother forcing the child to be like this, can't those people care more about the child?"
Li Junyi seemed to smile and ignored Xu Xian.
"Who are they?" Jin Zhongming squinted. "Who can't care about a little kid?"
"Of course it'......" Xu Xian couldn't say anything more after saying half of it, although he didn't think deeply, he also instinctively sensed the inappropriateness of his remarks under the momentary anger.
"Let's be fair. Jin Zhongming shook his head. "After the little girl's suicide, except for a suspect who went to prison, there is really no specific person who needs to be responsible. ”
"yes. Li Junyi also frowned and nodded. "I thought about this issue carefully when I was writing the script, and the author also seriously discussed this matter in it. Let's tell the truth, from the perspective of the state, it is already considered to be due diligence to bear the medical expenses for the families of the victims whose families are in difficulty, to impose heavy sentences on criminal suspects, and to revise laws and regulations! Even Lee Myung-bak, I rarely want to praise him, and he took the initiative to stand up for both things, and each time he was more responsible than the other, and last year's chemical castration was even more infuriating!"
Xu Xian wanted to speak and stopped.
"And from the perspective of the victim's parents, they are a working family, in order to get justice, they tried their best not to say anything, and once the matter was over, they took the initiative to give up their jobs and moved, and they have been doing their best for their children, but life is like this, the so-called poor couple mourns everything, the daughter is like this, life is not going well, is it something they can control if there is a conflict and a fight?" Li Junyi was obviously a little emotional, and his tone no longer had the calmness he had before. "They are also victims and need to live. I even want to say one more thing, as far as I know, the child's father's work unit in 08 was a chaebol company, and he took the initiative to transfer a new job after knowing that they were going to move...... At this time, do you want me to engage in political correctness in the movie and ridicule the chaebol enterprises for not having a sense of social responsibility?"
Xu Xian was further silent, and Kim Jong Ming also narrowed his eyes.
"As for the little girls' classmates. "Li Junyi's mood is even more wrong. "The little girl is only eight or nine years old, and her classmates are already eighteen years old? Even if there is any offense in the words, I am afraid it is only out of curiosity? In the same way, if the neighbors are responsible for their whispering, do those neighbors really have any bad intentions? Who is the one who sees such a little girl hanging a dung bag in front of them, will they not want to know or tell others what is going on? Maybe people are still telling their children not to discriminate against their new neighbors! Even those reporters who come to cover the news from time to time do not have the intention of upholding justice? If this one is responsible, and that one is also responsible, then can I, Li Junyi, who is now making a movie with this theme, also be regarded as a perpetrator? Am I not shouting about this kind of thing and the whole world knows about it?
Hearing this, of course, Kim Jong-ming couldn't be silent anymore, but Li Jun-ik didn't give him a chance to speak.
"Of course I know that's a bit of a stretch. Li Junyi suddenly exhaled a cloudy breath, and then reverted to the smile that looked like he was mocking someone at the beginning. "But that kid in '08 was forced to die by something after all...... Let's not talk about specific people, the whole society always has to bear some responsibility, right? Otherwise, why would people commit suicide?" At this point, Li Junyi stared at Kim Jong-ming's face. "The problem with the script is actually here, I can't find the person responsible, because it seems that everyone is righteous and warm, and from the perspective of a director, from the perspective of film language, I can't abandon any of these points of justice and warmth, so naturally there will be problems, big problems, because the movie made in this way is the opposite of the theme of the movie!"
"yes. Jin Zhongming pressed one knee on one of his hands, but he already understood what the other party meant. "After all, the movie is fragmented, if it is full of family affection, justice, and warmth, then why did the version of Su Yuan in 08 commit suicide in the end? Do you want to change the ending, change it to Su Yuan's happy and happy life from now on? But if it is really filmed cruelly, giving a dark and realistic ending, how can we, as movie-makers, face this 'Su Yuan' for 12 years? This Su Yuan is also hanging a dung bag, and she is only 8 years old, she is still alive and well, and her parents have not quarreled yet, if we make such a dark-oriented movie, to be honest, will it have a bad impact on this still alive Su Yuan? If that's the case, then we should really be responsible!"
Li Junyi nodded again and again: "That's what I meant, Zhong Ming, I really don't know how to shoot it now! I was going to make this movie, and the meaning of writing this script is very simple, that is, after knowing the fate of the first Su Yuan in 08, I don't want the second Su Yuan in 12 years to repeat the mistakes of the past!" It is to use the means within my power, that is, the movie, to warn some people, to remind some people, perhaps to explain to the whole society, you must pay attention to your own means, and do not inadvertently hurt such a poor child, we have a lesson from the past......!
Jin Zhongming nodded solemnly, of course he understood what Li Junyi meant - if you shoot according to the Su Yuan in 08, that is, the negative example, the movie itself will cause a kind of damage and hint to the 12-year-old version of 'Su Yuan' who is still alive, don't say that you can't bear it, if it really has any bad influence, then it will be called a hundred bodies that cannot be redeemed; but if you blindly emphasize warmth, it will form Li Junyi and "Su Yuan" The current state of the crew will not only make him worry that it will not play a warning role, but also have a sense of guilt for Su Yuan, who committed suicide in 08.
And there is another thing that must be known, that is, although there are only two prototypes of the movie "Su Yuan" on the surface, but in fact, the unspeakable social problem behind it is universal! And most of the victims have embarked on the road of Su Yuan in 08.
Rumors kill people, this is the truth that this movie must explain, if you don't say it, this movie will be meaningless.
But things come around again, it's not that I can't grasp it, and it's not that the cruel shots can't be shot properly, but how difficult it is to really do it?!
"Director Li told me this, I already have an idea, right?" Thinking of this, Jin Zhongming suddenly woke up, since Li Junyi has seen it so thoroughly, I am afraid that he already has an idea, but he is just a little embarrassed.
"There are some ideas. Li Junyi sighed again. "First of all, I'm going to be more open in terms of the ending, the living are the most important, and I can't let the movie end with the child committing suicide, but I can make some plausible hints, very simple hints, and even hints with obvious loopholes......"
"Good idea. Jin Zhongming did not hesitate to praise after a little thought, this is indeed a very high level of design, which can not only avoid some bad influences, but also let people have a warning, but when they think about it carefully, they have nothing to say, and even spit on those ideas, and the purpose of education and warning has been achieved...... In short, Li Junyi is indeed a very high-level director.
"The second. Li Junyi slowed down. "The movie can't be so full of warm shots anymore, there must be some warning things, such as the collective rejection of Su Yuan by classmates and parents, for example, the reporter forced Su Yuan to have nothing to hide, so that the dung bags are full, these are all written in the script, but I don't have the psychological quality to shoot them...... I think, Zhong Ming, after all, you have filmed "The Melting Pot", and your psychological quality is relatively strong, so can you come over and be a director of Group B for me, let's divide the work...... Zhong Ming!"
In fact, when Li Junyi said that he didn't have the psychological quality to shoot those shots, Jin Zhongming had already squinted his eyes, because he had already guessed something, so at that time he had already pinched his knees and was about to get up. And when Li Junyi finally lifted the veil directly and asked him to be the assistant director to shoot these scenes, then Kim Jong-ming simply pulled his legs and left!
What are you kidding?!!Why do you let yourself do this?!
In other words, last night Jin Zhongming was still complaining to others at the wine table, saying how hard it was during the filming of "The Melting Pot", and how depressed he was in his heart, but today there is such a new pit waiting in front of him?
On the other hand, watching Jin Zhongming give up halfway and leave, Li Junyi was not angry, but sat back calmly. In fact, he also took this opportunity to ask, after all, as he said, Jin Zhongming is an experienced and skilled person in this regard, and the division of labor and cooperation between the two is still very good. But on the other hand, he also knew that this was difficult for a strong man, and he was afraid of being like this, not to mention Jin Zhongming, who had suffered a similar hardship once?
Besides, after all, he Lee Jun-ik is also the top director in South Korea, and he is really out of line, and it's not that these shots can't be filmed...... It's just that it's going to be tough.
The kind that is both psychologically and physically difficult.
After glancing at the dark night outside the hotel, and finding that Jin Zhongming's figure quickly disappeared into the night, Xu Xian sat back in the distance again, she secretly glanced at Li Junyi, who was not very familiar, and turned her head to look down at her fingers.
Li Junyi was stunned, and then suddenly reacted: "Miss Xu Xian is not going with Zhong Ming?"
"No, Director. Xu Xian hurriedly put down his hand and shook his head.
"What's not to use?" Li Junyi was confused.
"I mean, Zhong Ming Oppa will be back soon. Xu Xian explained calmly. "So I don't have to go along. ”
"What came back?" Li Junyi asked with confusion. "You said he'd come back?"
"Definitely. Xu Xian continued to answer calmly. "Director, don't worry, in fact, oppa has been emphasizing this movie all the way, and he has obviously treated this movie as his own moral bottom line. Actually, it would be fine if you didn't ask for that, but since you have said so, then if he leaves like this today, he will definitely feel uneasy, and I, the oppa, have always been a responsible person who can grit his teeth...... So no matter how long the night breeze blows outside, he will come back eventually. ”
"What if you don't come?" Li Junyi couldn't help but ask again.
"Then he's a bastard who always tells lies to coax little girls. Xu Xian narrowed his eyes. "It has nothing to do with me, and I don't have to go with him in the middle of the night. ”
Li Junyi looked at Xu Xian a little seriously, to be honest, this little girl who has not behaved well since she came in is now a little surprised by him, from this moment on, Xu Xian is Xu Xian, not a label character such as 'a member of Girls' Generation' or 'idol who is quite familiar with Kim Jong-ming'.
And before Li Junyi could look at it for long, the door of the hotel suddenly popped open, and in the stunned eyes of the two waitresses on duty at the front desk, Jin Zhongming really came back:
"Xu Xian, can you go or not? I drank so much alcohol at noon, you don't know?"
Facing Jin Zhongming's questioning, Xu Xian smiled slightly, but remained silent, but Li Junyi got up to greet him.
ps: I'm sorry, this chapter is very difficult to write, mainly because Su Yuan's background information is difficult to check, a lot of contradictions, some of the sworn ones can't stand scrutiny, this statement in the text is my own family's words, if anyone has more detailed information, welcome to add.
