Chapter 412 Go to Dali!
Jin Zhongming was silent, the office was very large, and there seemed to be many people in it when he looked at it carefully, but no one intervened or urged at this time.
Thinking about it, if this group of people didn't really have a way, how could they find Jin Zhongming? Moreover, considering their high-end status and the tricky nature of this matter, even if they have some ideas, they may not be able to say it in public...... What if he was scolded back in public like Jin Qichun, wouldn't he have to block the road? Who would bear the nameless fire of the one on the throne at that time?
"Let me think about it. Although Jin Zhongming lowered his head and was stunned for a long time, he didn't seem to know what to do for a while. "Does Secretary Zheng smoke cigarettes? I rarely smoke that stuff, and I'm not used to carrying it with me. β
"Yes. Zheng Hucheng also came back to his senses suddenly, and then groped around his body.
"Ahem!" someone coughed instinctively.
"Let's go out to the Garden of Infinity Flowers, and don't disturb the president's office. Jin Zhongming seemed to understand this reminder, and after saying hello, he turned around and walked out.
Zheng Hucheng glanced at the one on the throne, saw that the other party nodded slightly, and then immediately followed. At this moment, the rest of the people led by Jin Qichun suddenly felt bored, so they left one after another.
Although it was winter and the plants were withering, the Blue House Infinity Flower Garden outside the main building of the presidential palace could at least look sunny, and sitting on a bench in the garden for a while made a middle-aged and elderly person and a young man who were out of breath in the old presidential office feel a lot more relaxed.
Zheng Hucheng didn't forget about the cigarette, he took out the fire, lit one for himself first, took a hard puff, and then handed the whole pack of cigarettes and lighter to Jin Zhongming, but the latter raised his hand to block it.
"You're going to give me a problem. Jin Zhongming really didn't know what to say. "But how to say it, throughout the ages, there have been too many absurd scenes in the political arena in the southwest, north and south, and this is not bad. β
"Actually, I did it. Zheng Hucheng pinched his cigarette and replied embarrassedly. "I saw you so arrogant that night, and I thought that the movie seemed to be like that, so I later pleaded with the president and said that the movie could break the record, and I also had a share of the people who encouraged the government workers directly under the Blue House to buy tickets, and I also had a share of the people who went to Chungcheong-dola......
"Oh," Kim replied expressionlessly. "It doesn't matter, throughout the ages, in the southwest, the north and the south, there are too many people who can't help themselves in the political field, and you are not inferior either. β
Zheng Hucheng didn't say anything, but smoked a cigarette with his head down, and the gust of winter wind blew away, blowing away the smoke rings he spit out, and also ruffled his hair, and it was already a white under the surface of the dyed black...... It seems that this political secretary is really not an easy job.
However, the other party was silent, and Jin Zhongming didn't bother to make a sound, anyway, he really didn't want to wade into this troubled water...... South Korea's cultural scene is fine, but a clichΓ© is that the Korean film industry is generally left-leaning. Therefore, in order to achieve the military base, he pinched his nose and helped his aunt make this movie, which has caused a lot of discussions, and it has already made Jin Zhongming, who cherishes feathers, feel unhappy, what else should I do? !
In this way, the two sides fell into a stalemate, and this stalemate was not broken until the appearance of the group.
"What's that for?" asked Kim Jong-ming blankly.
"Doctor. Zheng Hucheng replied very neatly. "Give the president a routine treatment. β
"It's not like some traditional doctor, is it?" Jin Zhongming frowned slightly. "How does it look like a street fortune teller?"
"Qigong treatment. Zheng Hucheng replied very calmly. "It is said that he is a very high-level qigong master, who can perform exercises remotely without touching the human body, and the president trusts his medical skills very much. β
Jin Zhongming was dumbfounded, and he suddenly wanted to retract the words he had pretentiously said for the other party before.
"You don't believe this?" Zheng Hucheng certainly saw it.
"How can this thing be believed?!" Jin Zhongming was speechless.
"It's hard to talk about this kind of thing. Secretary Zheng still thinks it's not a big deal. "Are you still a materialist like Bei Mian? Bei Mian is only superficially talking, and those high-level people still believe it, and it was also very popular in China back then...... To put it bluntly, to borrow a word from you, throughout the ages, the center is north and south, and the more outstanding the characters, the more afraid they will be of death. Qigong treatment is better than taking elixir, right?"
Jin Zhongming wanted to speak and stopped, but he could only smile awkwardly.
"Actually, I understand. Zheng Hucheng, who had just refuted the other party, suddenly smiled bitterly and shook his head. "This kind of thing, whether you believe it or not, whether it is useful or not, is difficult to get into the hall of elegance after all. And not only that, here in the Blue House, there are many similar miscellaneous things...... As soon as Secretary General Kim Ki-chun returned, he directly lectured everyone on the issue of recruiting a wide range of talents from Seoul National University, and that it was imperative that the proportion of Seoul University graduates in the Blue House be more than that of Kyung Hee University...... Tell me, which of these kinds of things and this kind of remarks can be placed under the sun? Moreover, these are the three most powerful people in the Blue House, and the people above are like this, let alone the people below?"
Jin Zhongming looked at this Secretary Zheng with some doubts, to be honest, he was a little confused by the other party.
"The purpose for which I say this is actually quite simple. Zheng Hucheng seemed to understand the other party's question, and immediately explained calmly. Representative Xiaojin...... How old are you, I don't mind calling you a little gold representative, right?"
"Secretary Zheng, please feel free. "What else can Kim Jong Ming say.
"What I mean is very simple, Representative Xiaojin, even if that's the case, even if things are a little ...... As long as the president is still here, who cares about this? As long as the national policy is still running smoothly, as long as the economy is still passable, and as long as there is no big basket that pierces the sky, then even if those opposition parties attack and find fault?
Jin Zhongming immediately sighed weakly.
"I know what you're worried about. Zheng Hucheng continued to persuade. "You feel young, you feel innocent, you feel like you shouldn't wade into troubled waters, and because you've always been innocent, if you really tear your face, the president can't really do anything to you...... This is indeed the truth, and you have proven it! But you don't feel comfortable just letting the most powerful person in South Korea keep an eye on you, do you?"
"Is this a threat?" asked Kim Jong-ming coldly.
"If it was a threat, it wouldn't have come to the garden, and it wouldn't have been so long-winded before. Secretary Zheng replied a little tiredly. "I really want to be honest with you...... No matter how much you Xiaojin delegates, she is just an emperor in the film industry after all, and if the president is more chaotic here, then she is also the most powerful person in South Korea...... First, the president will remember your affection and will compensate you; second, there will be no fault with your enlistment and military bases; third, even if people in the film industry will have some complaints now, they will be relieved and understand as soon as the news of your service in the autumn spreads, and even if a few people are unwilling to understand, there will be no moral high ground to occupy at that time. β
"I'm not going to steal the box office. After a moment of silence, Jin Zhongming suddenly spoke.
Secretary Zheng wanted to speak and stopped.
"Listen to me first. Jin Zhongming raised his hand to stop the other party from speaking. "I know that's what you mean, that's what you meant when you called me in the first place. But Secretary Zheng, you have to understand how serious the consequences of this kind of action that directly shakes the foundation of the Korean film market are, once exposed, the next day that group of directors will dare to come to Gwanghwamun Square to shave their heads again, this is the style of Koreans! Don't say that some of you will be thrown out to resist the bag, I will immediately become the target of public criticism, and the reputation I have accumulated over the years may be lost overnight! And besides, if you really do it in a broken place like your Blue House, how big is the risk of things being exposed from you, don't you have a C in your heart? This is not counting the risk on the side of the Film Promotion Committee, which needs to be taken down by us...... Why didn't you directly pick out this request after sparing such a big circle? Don't tell me that you have a conscience, and you have some concerns! So, don't open your mouth for this kind of thing, I won't steal the box office if I die! I won't even make any false information about the data on the movie pre-order website! That's the foundation of my life! Don't even think about it!"
Secretary Zheng shook his head, but finally did not refute: "Is that you going in or am I going in to tell the president?"
"Let's go in together. Jin Zhongming shook his head and stood up with the back of the garden bench. "Actually, there is still a way, but I don't want to use it selfishly, but now it's no longer a problem......"
Hearing this, Zheng Hucheng, who had just gotten up, was so excited that he almost didn't stand firm, thanks to Jin Zhongming's hand.
"What's the method?" the aunt temporarily suspended the qigong treatment and returned to the office, and immediately became interested when she heard the words.
"It's simple. Jin Zhongming replied expressionlessly. "Continue to do it according to the previous methods of the Blue House masters, and just start the box office again!"
The aunt was immediately speechless.
Secretary Zheng, who was still full of joy and anticipation just now, never expected that the other party's so-called selfishness did not want to come up with such a 'good idea'!
"I'm exhausted. In desperation, Secretary Zheng had to remind the other party. "We have mobilized our own political base, but there are only a few hundred thousand people, useless!"
"Let them brush it again!" Kim Jong-ming spread his hands and replied calmly. "Isn't it just a few hundred thousand more?"
"Oops. Zheng Hucheng had no choice but to continue to explain patiently. "That is, tens of thousands of people who are completely in the political system can do this, and the people of Chungcheongdo in the basic plate do not have the enthusiasm to respond to the call to brush dozens of times, if we really had this kind of grassroots mobilization, we would have made a direct revolution a long time ago!"
"Yes. Auntie's expression has become darker and darker, as if she thinks that the other party is deliberately trying to have fun with herself. But Jin Zhongming still didn't feel the slightest nervousness, and his ideas became more and more unreasonable. "Then let those tens of thousands of people in the political system repeatedly brush up on the box office......"
"What about brushing it every day?" Secretary Zheng became even more helpless. "Tens of thousands of people, a month, that's just one million moviegoers...... What's the use?"
"Give out subsidies and let them bring their families and children to see it!"
Zheng Hucheng was shocked: "The subsidy seems to encourage movie-watching...... Isn't that even more empowering?"
"What about giving someone a handle?" Jin Zhongming asked unceremoniously. "Have you not already given people authority? So I am to say, just let go of your hands and do this kind of thing openly. And it's going to be big!"
Secretary Zheng was about to speak, but was completely stunned by the other party's storm.
"Not only party members who are very simple, but also civil servants in institutions directly under the government can be openly mobilized!"
"It is also possible to mobilize educators who are actually civil servants!"
"These people can directly find a hair subsidy and encourage them to bring their families to see it!"
"You can also say hello to the bosses of those big chaebol companies and ask them to mobilize their own company's employees to swipe tickets!"
"What I want is to brush it without any scruples, the kind that turns it upside down!"
"Moreover, the president should personally go to the movie to show his attitude!"
"I also want to go to the international labor ...... of the year"
"Do it openly, show your attitude openly. β
"The president can't openly stand up for a certain movie, and why can't the government publicly praise a film that shows the progress of the times?"
"Take 10,000 steps back, what about a daughter praising her father, what's so unseemly?"
Jin Zhongming finally stopped, and Secretary Zheng was dizzy and was about to explain, but was stopped by the aunt raising her hand: "Zhong Ming, is there anything to say here?"
"Yes. Jin Zhongming replied calmly. "First of all, we have to clarify the problem, now the problem is that the early Blue House people secretly swiped the box office, not only some painted tiger cats, but were caught by the opposition because of Secretary General Jin Qichun's active war-leading behavior. So, the president is worried that if the box office drops sharply, it will cause ridicule from the other side, and then make the movie a joke, right?"
"That's true. The aunt nodded slightly, and then asked with some puzzlement. "This is also where Secretary Zheng and I don't understand your solution, even if what you say makes sense, but if you really do it with such fanfare, the people and public opinion will openly ridicule it, isn't it useless......?
"But in South Korea, reputation is really tied to something like the box office. Jin Zhongming interrupted the president's Chrysostom royal voice with some confusion. "If you really get a certain box office, your reputation will naturally be there, and this kind of summary will be covered up. β
"How do you say this?" Secretary Zheng was stunned, but the aunt moved slightly.
"Quite simply, we should look at the people who will be stimulated in this matter and can really influence the direction of public opinion. As he spoke, Jin Zhongming showed three fingers at the other party. "Specifically, it is divided into three groups...... First of all, the opposition, the opposition, the left, or rather, the dish-boilers...... Anyway, anything goes! This kind of people and their die-hard supporters are there, no matter how well the movie does at the box office, and no matter how many small actions you make, I am afraid that they will not tolerate them, and they will oppose it no matter what. This is because there is a basic question about the historical positioning of President Ling Zun Xianpu. This is a fundamental contradiction and there is no possibility of reconciliation. And from your point of view, you don't have to worry about their attitude at all. β
"That's just as well. Auntie scoffed. "No matter how naΓ―ve I am, I wouldn't think I could influence those people. β
"And then a group that will be seriously stimulated and is likely to resist is actually the Korean film industry. Jin Zhongming continued to say seriously. "From their point of view, such a fanfare to brush the box office is against professional ethics, and it feels like insulting the sanctity of the industry, and of course there will be some resentment. However, a film with an investment of more than 10 billion won has a lot of division of labor and cooperation behind it, and a large number of practitioners are involved, and many film practitioners themselves are related to this movie. And if we immediately changed the film to a red-star system, so that all the people behind the scenes could get revenue from the box office......"
"I see. "After all, it's the president of a country, and my aunt will understand it immediately. "Let these people's income be linked to the box office, and they themselves will take the initiative to maintain the film in the industry. And considering the intricacies of the production personnel and institutions behind the film, as long as there are enough profits, it is naturally not good for the people around to offend their peers and upstream and downstream collaborators for the sake of a movie...... That's what it means, right?"
"To put it bluntly, it's a buy!" Jin Zhongming unbuttoned a button on his neckline with some irritability. "It's that simple. It's just that the best way to buy these people is to hand them the money openly through high box office, so that there is no moral pressure on everyone. β
"It's right to have you here. "Auntie has relaxed a lot at this time. "It really takes professionals to deal with this kind of person. β
The corners of Jin Zhongming's mouth twitched, as if he didn't want to take this stubble.
Her Excellency the female president of the Great Han Netherworld glanced at the other party with a smile, and then closed her mouth, saving a little face for the other party.
"The last group of people we call passers-by, or neutrals. They are the largest number of people, and getting them to be recognized is actually the main purpose of your film. Jin Zhongming continued to explain seriously. "And when it comes to neutrals, it also implies that they have the attribute of wallgrass......"
"So you can also buy it?" Zheng Hucheng on the side finally gradually came back to his senses. "But film practitioners can buy with money from the high box office, what do the national masses use to buy? There are too many of them, they are the main force in the national system, and the word "buy" is child's play!"
"It's not about buying their votes, it's not about buying them for support for a policy that is of vital interest. Jin Zhongming continued to reply seriously. "It's just trying to buy their senses into a movie...... Can't you really do it?"
"What exactly are you going to buy it?" said the aunt opened the royal mouth again.
"Take the honor. I don't know if it's an illusion, Jin Zhongming's face suddenly darkened. "The common people of South Korea generally pay attention to the self-esteem of a nation, and giving them some sense of honor is the best way to buy them. For example, if you, the president, visited China once and received a solemn courtesy, the approval rating rose by nearly 10 percentage points in an instant...... Isn't it because these five million people have a strong sense of self-esteem that they can easily be bought off with an ethereal sense of honor?"
"That's what I said, but what does this have to do with the box office?" Zheng Hucheng asked with a little seriousness.
"What if this movie breaks the box office record for Korean films again?" the two people in the office finally reacted, and Kim Jong-myung's face turned black and it was not an illusion. "Why should I ask the president to publicly mobilize civil servants, teachers, and employees of big corporations to go to the movies? Because if I don't do that, this 'International Market' won't be able to catch up with my 'Veteran'!"
Aunt and Secretary Zheng were silent.
"Actually, if it weren't for Jin Qichun's old foolishness and stubbornness, then as long as the box office can reach 10 million, the matter of brushing the box office in the past two days should have been washed away by this sense of honor of breaking 10 million movies. Jin Zhongming sighed slightly, looking quite struggling. "And in my experience, if it really breaks the box office record of Korean movies, then even if many people don't go to see this movie at all, they will defend the movie on the Internet and spontaneously become the guardian of this movie. It's a common trait of human beings, Easterners are more obvious, and Koreans are more intense here...... As for those media that are even more grassy, they will definitely stand in line with public opinion when the time comes, and this situation will naturally be self-defeating!"
After saying that, Jin Zhongming stood there and began to gasp, not knowing how tired he would be after saying these few words.
"That's it. After a long time, the aunt finally opened the royal mouth again, and it was decided in a word. "I'll let the people at the Blue House take care of it, and you can do the movie dividends...... However, I did wronged you by doing this, and I also know that you have put a lot of effort into that "Veteran", and there will definitely be compensation for you when the time comes. β
"No, you don't. Jin Zhongming waved his hand weakly. "The president will continue to be busy with state affairs, and if there is nothing else to do, I will go first. β
The aunt smiled and didn't care about the other party's attitude: "Secretary Zheng sent Zhong Ming for me." β
And just like that, two people came in together and went out together.
"I thought that I had to toss for a while in order to break up with you last year. Walking all the way to the garden, the two stood firmly, but Jin Zhongming couldn't help but sigh again. "I finally got out of the car, and this is actually on your thief ship again......"
"One time, another time. Zheng Hucheng can only say this. "Isn't this a matter of service that locks us up? This time I really wronged Xiaojin's representative, you also saw it just now, and the president is also very grateful. β
"I don't know what my colleagues in the film industry will say when I go back!" Jin Zhongming continued to shake his head, as if he was very unhappy.
"It doesn't matter. Zheng Hucheng reluctantly comforted. "Once the service is done, everything is over...... There is still a little more than half a year, as long as there is no big fork in the matter, just a little bit of people's words, there is nothing to worry about. β
"That's all I have to think. Jin Zhongming looked up at the sky and sighed perfunctorily. "I hope nothing goes wrong!"
