Chapter 373 Adaptation (II)

"Just got it this afternoon. Jin Zhongming sneered. "I was in a good mood at the time, and I met an old friend I hadn't seen for a long time, and I said that I would go to Hongdae for a drink together, so after I got it from the inspection hall, I kept it in my pocket, and I didn't take the opportunity to glance at it until I was on the way over, and then I knew that I was being smashed!"

"It's a bit much, indeed. I don't know who coughed dryly.

"Thankfully, he saved me some face. Jin Zhongming said with a smile. "It's more, not less, if you really want to disgust me, come to a very small, hundreds of thousands of won fine, it will be really beautiful......"

Everyone present became even more embarrassed when they heard this.

In other words, everyone is an adult, and they are all adults with rich social experience, so of course they know some of the doorways...... Don't talk about those big companies that are often approached by tax collectors, let's just say that in the entertainment industry, they have been fined and loen has also been punished, and there are absolutely traces to follow. In fact, everyone knows that in terms of the scale of CUBE Company's Hallyu business, in the name of the Hallyu tax refund written on this fine, if the tax department wants to express reconciliation and fool the past, it should be 10 million won or 20 million won, if it is 40 or 50 million, there is undoubtedly a bad attitude in it, a fine of hundreds of millions of won will undoubtedly have a serious warning, and 500 million won is simply pointing at your nose and saying that you do have serious tax problems.

Of course, just like Kim Jong-ming said, if he really wants to mess with you, he will fine you hundreds of thousands of won...... Clearly tell the people that Jin Zhongming has power, and the tax inspection department will not dare to provoke him, so it will be disgusting to you! If that is the case, Jin Zhongming will turn his face and fight with this group of bastards.

But no matter what, the current situation is that the matter has been decided, Cha Eun-taek's uncle Kim Sang-ryul stepped down in three days, and the group of angry young people at MBC have also given up their intention to use this incident as a blame for the Blue House, and instead single-mindedly went to scold their own director Kim Jong-kook. And in private, which the outside world didn't know, Ahn Sung-ki and Bae Yong-jun also led the list of the re-formed preparatory committee, and Kim Jong-ming also re-informed Lee Jae-hyun, and the two sides were actually at peace for a long time.

Therefore, this ticket, I'm afraid it's just like Sika almost didn't go to Los Angeles, it's purely that the people below follow the officialdom and deliberately disgust Kim Jong-ming.

There is no way, who made you turn against the president? Who made you Kim Jong-ming a circle younger than the president? Who is to blame?

"Actually, the director is right, we are all adults, what is this society like, don't you have a score in your heart?" Kim Jong-ming fiddled with the ticket in his hand with a smile. "So to be honest, the director's logic is right, if you want to see Zhao Taiyue, a person who is maintained by the power of the chaebol enterprise, be brought to justice, then only people at the same level or higher can take action, right?"

Many people sighed slightly, but several of the main creators were still frowning...... They are more professional, their minds are still on the movie, and they are all waiting for Kim Jong Ming to speak thoroughly. As for Liu Chengguan, his heart moved slightly, as if he had captured something.

"To tell you the truth, I took this ticket to show you, not to say that I was put on the table, but to use this thing and the most famous incident on me recently to further confirm the director's logic and reason...... Let's talk about the beginning of the beginning, Cha Eunze is a little deflated three, everyone knows that he relies on his uncle's nepotism to determine the head of the creation economy promotion group, but without me to speak, thousands of people in the Korean cultural circle, all of them are elites, all of them are social elites, and all of them have a strong sense of justice, but who dares to stand up and scold him?"

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and even Liu Chengguan touched his nose in embarrassment.

"And then?" said Kim Jong-ming, who continued to laugh with the strength of his wine. "I brought down the chief secretary of the Blue House, and the prosecutors of several tax inspection departments dared to enforce the law so impartially, and found out that I had evaded taxes in a piecemeal manner, and fined me 500 million won? Not because they were really skilled in enforcing the law impartially, but because they felt that I had hated our president and were showing their loyalty to me! Without the background that I had turned against the Blue House, they had the courage to punish me with 10,000 courages?!"

Many people laughed dryly, but immediately put away their inappropriate smiles.

"Going back to the past, when Hyundai Group was caught in a political donation scandal, it forced two mayors to commit suicide one after another to cut off the clues, but why did the prosecutor win later?" Kim Jong-ming became more and more energetic, and even one of the most proud cases of the South Korean inspection system was smeared by others. "Are they really enthusiastic? It's nothing more than Kim Dae-jung and Roh Moo-hyun who are bent on giving the Zheng family a good look, and with such a stronger force in power behind them, this group of prosecutors has the courage to investigate this case......

"Zhong Ming, it's been a matter of many years, don't mention it......" As soon as this matter came out, some people were inevitably a little timid.

"But these words are all big truths, and I don't believe that people don't talk about these things when they drink. Jin Zhongming replied disapprehantly. "But it's okay, it's really useless to talk too much about this kind of thing, director, I just want to tell you that this patch of yours is indeed rich in realistic logic, but realistic logic is meaningless in this movie!"

"Such a movie...... Isn't reality bad at all?" The topic returned to the movie from the suffocating reality, and Liu Chengguan obviously regained some combat effectiveness. "It's a movie that's supposed to mock social reality, how can it be said that it's meaningless?"

"That's the problem, it mocks social reality, it doesn't mean it's a realistic film. Jin Zhongming narrowed his eyes and replied seriously. "If you really talk about reality, then the ending should be the hero's family ruined; if you really want to talk about reality, the actor will be directly transferred to Jeju Island as soon as he starts the investigation...... Director, we have a saying called overreach, and even if you change it like this, it may make the whole movie lose its soul......"

Liu Chengguan frowned slightly, obviously, he still couldn't let go of his wonderful original plot.

In fact, he was still a little touched by the other party's words at first, and he did catch something. It was only later that the other party suddenly took that kind of spicy-eyed tax ticket in front of him, and said so many sensitive topics in reality, which made him instinctively avoid relevant thoughts, and then returned to his original position.

And, no matter how you put it, the extreme and harsh evaluation of 'going too far and making the movie lose its soul' is really difficult for him to accept. Or, in Liu Chengguan's opinion, Jin Zhongming drank too much wine, so his tone of speech was a little high.

"Does the director think I'm shouting a little too high?" Kim Jong-ming seemed to understand what the other party meant, and said what the other party had in his heart in a blink of an eye.

"I think it's just a small plot patch, and if it's not suitable, it won't necessarily affect the theme of the movie. Liu Chengguan spread his hands slightly. "You see, nine out of ten of the rest of the plot is there, how can such a small plot change make the movie lose its soul?"

"Director, let's get back to the argument of realism. Jin Zhongming did not get as emotional as the other party, but calmed down, and at the same time he quietly stuffed the ticket into the pocket of the vest. "First of all, it's not a work of realism, so there's nothing wrong with that, right?"

"Of course. As a famous figure among Korean directors, Yoo Seung-wan certainly has a set. "One of the distinguishing features of realism is its pessimistic view of moral progress and human capacities...... And the ending of this movie is to punish evil and promote good, and the whole story happens to be based on the hero's sense of justice, from this point of view, it cannot be a realistic work. However, I never said that it was a realistic work, I just thought it had a certain element of realism, especially in its satirical portrayal of the chaebol class. ”

"That's right. Jin Zhongming nodded repeatedly. "I also agree with this, I have long said that although the plot of this comic is absurd, in fact, almost every detail can find real traces from the real society, which makes this comic especially good in the depiction of villains, and I was attracted to it because of this......"

"So, how can adding a little irony to the already substantial and wonderful portrayal of the chaebol class make the film lose its soul?"

"Because this short adaptation of yours will make the male protagonist of the movie, as well as the entire police camp, lose the value of existence!" Kim retorted without the slightest hesitation. "This movie, to put it bluntly, is actually a fairy tale that is extremely vulgar...... A policeman, with a sense of justice and courage, can simply defeat money, power, and crime! It's that simple! And the so-called massive realistic descriptions before are just for Korean readers and viewers to empathize!"

Liu Chengguan was slightly sluggish.

"Director. Jin Zhongming's tone softened. "Have you noticed, although your adaptation is wonderful and small, and it also improves the logical loopholes, it also inadvertently negates everything about the male protagonist of this movie. Because of this change, the one who defeated Zhao Taiyue, the second generation of the chaebol, was not the hero, but became the second generation of the chaebol who was stronger than Zhao Taiyue. In this case, what is the meaning of the hero's enthusiasm, hard work, sense of justice, and even the character itself?"

The audience was silent, in fact, sometimes things are so simple after breaking the key points.

"Say something hurtful. Jin Zhongming snorted suddenly. "I thought that when I showed my ticket, the director and everyone else would immediately understand what I meant...... But now it seems that I am obviously self-inflicted, because all of you who are full of realistic logic have also lost the ability to think in the face of real social reality, which is the same as Ye Gong Haolong......"

The surroundings were still quite quiet, but Liu Chengguan's face turned blue and white for a while, obviously, while he recognized Jin Zhongming's words, he was embarrassed by the other party's ruthlessness, but he didn't dare to say more.

Syllable!

Liu Chengguan hadn't spoken yet, but Huang Zhengmin next to him slammed the table, instantly attracting everyone's attention: "That's what it means, that's what I want to express! It's just that I'm stupid, and I don't have the same high theoretical level as the two of you, so I can't say it all the time. But now Zhong Ming's words are really to the most direct point, according to your Liu Chengguan, the reality is reality, but the actor has become a joke!"

"The predecessors of the government and the people are really remarkable. Jin Zhongming probably also felt that what he said just now was a bit harsh, so he quickly nodded and agreed. He obviously understands this character to a certain extent, and he has the shadow of the character on his body, so there is this instinctive sense of resistance. ”

"I see. Liu Chengguan took the opportunity to sigh slightly. "So, I think it's ...... worse."

"It doesn't have to be on the director's head. Jin Zhongming continued to laugh. "The main thing is that the portrayal of the villain in this comic is too wonderful and profound, and it seems a bit noisy, which makes you fall into it...... And don't worry, I'm probably also a little influenced by my character, so I've been a little flamboyant and wanton lately. Just like just now, in fact, it was just said directly at the beginning, and I had to take a ticket to scare people, but this twist and turn was a bit too much, and the words were a little harsh...... Don't care!"

"How can you care?" Liu Haizhen took the opportunity to laugh. "It's a good thing that both protagonists are in the play, and the director will only be happy. ”

"That's right. Liu Chengguan took the opportunity to draw conclusions. So on the whole, Zhong Ming's reasoning is still right, in fact, judging from the vulgar scene of the victim suddenly waking up at the end of the comic, the so-called fairy tale is no problem...... This is a pure story of punishing evil and promoting good, the hero's blood is pure, the villain is also evil, and the overly complex character analysis and conspiracy will spoil the atmosphere. ”

"That's right. Jin Zhongming sniffled, nodded again and smiled. "What I want is this kind of pure collision between good and evil, and then a hearty decision on the winner. ”

For a while, everyone agreed.

"Then it's decided, it's better not to change it. Jin Zhongming hurriedly made a final decision.

"That's it!" Liu Chengguan also replied affirmatively, and everyone was happy for a while.

There was no Jin Zhongming's scene at the scene, and Liu Haizhen's scene had ended, the two walked out of this abandoned police station building together after a while, in fact, there is another layer of meaning, Liu Haizhen Although he rarely speaks, he is very careful, he noticed that Jin Zhongming drank alcohol and didn't drive yet, so he was ready to send the other party back.

In this way, two acquaintances who had known each other for a long time talked and laughed, and then got into Liuhaizhen's car together, and immediately drove towards Apguting Apguting.

"Zhong Ming," However, not long after the car got on the road, after Liu Haizhen, who was driving, glanced at the person in the co-pilot, he actually asked another question related to the discussion just now. "You see, since it's rare that the comics portray this second generation of chaebol so realistically and so well, is there a possibility of deepening the whole movie in its entirety? I mean small changes are not appropriate, so why not change them slightly? We can mobilize the screenwriter team to recreate the entire weak camp of justice, so that they will be more brilliant as a whole, and the image will be more complex and three-dimensional, so that the story will not seem more connotative?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Jin Zhongming's eyelids on the co-pilot jumped suddenly, and after the other party finished speaking, he immediately shook his head quietly: "This...... Not to mention that it has been filmed until now, and it is too late to change it, the key is that even if it is a secondary adaptation to make the movie more connotative, Brother Haizhen, what do you think is the benefit of doing this to the movie?"

"Isn't it the meaning of more connotation?" Liu Haizhen asked disapprovingly. "Zhong Ming, you are the one who made a movie like "The Crucible", and you also participated in the production of the recently released "Su Yuan", how can you ask such a question?"

"That's not the same thing. Jin Zhongming frowned slightly, but he could only say that. "It's called social justice, and I've always seen it as a responsibility and obligation for film and television works. But the connotation is not connotative, it should be from the perspective of the market, not for the sake of connotation, and sometimes the behavior of Korean films that pursue connotation too much will cause aesthetic fatigue in the market. ”

Liu Haizhen looked puzzled, as if he was still a little puzzled...... Because what the other party said is obviously a little wrong, aesthetic fatigue certainly exists, but the success factors of Korean films are not the same as the same thing? Such a small country has neither history nor literature to support it, but there are still so many literary and artistic works, so it has always been put together with those rotten things, and aesthetic fatigue really can't be used as a reason.

"Ahem. At this moment, Jin Zhongming finally couldn't hold it anymore. "Actually, Brother Haizhen, think about it, think about it the other way, sometimes pure and simple stories are well acted, maybe they will be more favored by the market, for example, "Uncle" back then, and the recent box office champion "The Great Hidden One", aren't they all simple stories that have won the market and reputation, good works don't need to be too complicated, and the simpler the works, the more they can show the excellent ...... of the actors."

Liu Haizhen glanced at this former little brother expressionlessly, but his heart suddenly woke up.

In other words, he finally understood why the other party had made a detour before, why he refused to adapt, why he was opposed to most of the main creators of the crew because of a small change, and even stabbed Liu Chengguan, the director...... What kind of realism of bullshit, what kind of realism of bullshit, the meaning of existence of the role of the policeman, as for what else is a little into the drama after drinking, so it is even more nonsense to publicize it!

The answer to everything is actually in the two examples of "Uncle" and "The Great Hidden One".

Look at the movie "Uncle", this movie actually has nothing outstanding in the whole movie, the script has a lot of loopholes, the fate of the characters is known at a glance, and the final fight scene is even a joke about firearms...... However, in the end, the film finally won the box office championship of the year with its hearty rhythm and excellent actors. And when this work was successful, people tried to find some convincing reasons for it, but they were shocked to find that there was no second thing that could be put on the table except for the excellent performance of Kim Jong-ming.

So, in the end, all the glory of the whole movie was taken away by Kim Jong Ming, and he defeated many actor-level actors in the same period in one fell swoop, and then completely established his status as a movie actor.

As for The Great Hider, it's more straightforward...... After the movie was released and became the box office champion this month, the media and industry insiders thought about it over and over again, but they couldn't see where the movie was brilliant, and in the end they could only give all the credit to Kim so-hyun, and called this movie the first idol movie in South Korea.

Translated from this, it actually means that this movie is basically supported by Kim so-hyun's personal performance and popularity...... It's Kim so-hyun!

And after thinking of this layer, then the meaning of Jin Zhongming is about to come out!

That's right, the character of Zhao Taiyu in the original comic is particularly brilliant, and Kim Jong-ming's personal performance is also particularly amazing, in this case, what if the plot is naΓ―ve? What if the police male protagonist is a little fake? What if the characters around him are more universal? No, how can he bring out the brilliance of the role of Zhao Tai-ming? No, how can he bring out the wonderful performance of Kim Jong-ming? And if this movie really hits the audience's appetite, it comes to a better than "Great Hidden" is still a dazzling box office result, so when you mention anything about the appeal of actors, who will say anything about Kim so-hyun? Isn't it Kim Jong-myung?

It's ridiculous that he and Liu Chengguan were distracted by the other party with a tax fine before, and then they were thought by the other party in a circle, and they never understood this meaning, which is ridiculous.

"Brother Haizhen. Probably realizing that the other party had completely understood, Jin Zhongming moved his body slightly embarrassed. "When do you think those guys will react?"

"It's hard to say. Liu Haizhen came back to his senses, but he didn't care about those anymore, because since the other party was so honest with him, the previous bends didn't matter. "I think Oh Da-so's predecessors are the oldest, they have the most experience, and they haven't spoken just now, so they should have some understanding; and then director Yoo Seung-wan, he is a director after all, and when the movie is released, as soon as the things that should come are laid out, it is estimated that he will immediately understand; and Huang Zhengmin, to be honest, I can't see it, I just think the timing of his table shooting is very interesting, there should be some understanding, right? However, you don't have to care about these ......"

"What do you say?" Kim Jong-ming carefully asked.

"Just think about these people, Wu Dazhu's predecessors and I actually just sold your face, and we came to help you from the beginning, these things don't matter to us, no matter how good the change is, we can't give the two of us an actor, right?"

"Brother Haizhen doesn't care, it's fine. ”

"Then director Liu Chengguan, he is the youngest, and he is also the object of your direct fooling, it stands to reason that he should hate you the most, but he lacks honor. Liu Haizhen glanced at the other party with a smile. "If this movie is really successful, even if he wakes up, he will only be grateful to you, and if he can borrow Dongfeng to win a best director or something, he will be even more grateful, what is this thing at that time?"

Jin Zhongming immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "What about Huang Zhengmin's seniors?"

"As for Huang Zhengmin. Liu Haizhen narrowed his eyes slightly. "I think you're thinking too much, he has a very prominent advantage as a person, called knowing the times...... You're so nervous, do you think he's someone else?"

"It's good to know the times!" Jin Zhongming instinctively smiled and touched his nose, but he was completely relaxed. "If those actors in South Korea were so knowledgeable about current affairs, I would be able to save half of my heart! Gathering people's hearts is so difficult in a small film industry, and I don't know how hard our president will ......."

Liu Haizhen's heart moved slightly again, and then the images of several people instantly appeared in front of him, but that's all, Liu Haizhen didn't continue to ask...... In other words, although when it comes to his personal relationship with Kim Jong-ming, he is definitely the number one in the film industry, but there are some things he doesn't want to pay attention to at all.

After all, he is also quite knowledgeable about current affairs.
