In fact, this is not the first time Jin Zhongming has heard this kind of question, but some are concerned, some are mocking, some are hopeful, and some are worried.

But then again, no matter what kind of psychology it is, it is reasonable and even natural to ask such a sentence, because just the day before, the monster of the Han River has swallowed a full 9 million box office, and breaking 10 million is just around the corner, it is about to become the fourth 10 million-level movie after An Shengji's "Shiwei Island", Zhang Dongjian's "Tai Chi Flag Flying", and Li Junyi's "The King's Man", and don't think about it, at the end of the month, Kim Jong-ming's "Lao Qian" No movie has ever had any effect on this monster before it arrives, so breaking the record is almost a foregone conclusion.

However, the question is whether Kim Jong Ming will be afraid?

"Don't worry, it should be director Bong Joon-ho and Song Kang-ho's predecessors who should be afraid. Kim Jong-ming held up an empty soju glass and touched it with Jung Jun-ha.

"Are you so confident?" Zheng Junhe wordlessly poured down a full glass of soju, unaware that Jin Zhongming's cup was actually empty.

"Of course!" Kim Jongming was full of confidence, he had seen the edited film many times.

"How much box office do you estimate?" Liu Jae-seok was also worried about Kim Jong-ming, he listened to the conversation between the two and was a little impatient, so he directly asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.

"It's seven or eight million, it's five or six million off. Kim Jong-ming said his estimates.

"A nineteen-banned movie?" haha has also made a number of cameo appearances, and he knows very well what this number means.

"That's right, if it weren't for the loss of the nineteen prohibitions. Our movie can also break 10 million!" Jin Zhongming was a little helpless.

"It's good if you have faith. Everyone else breathed a sigh of relief. Only Park Myung-so seemed to remember something. "It's time for the Radio Star to draw. How much box office?"

"Unexpectedly high, three million!" Jin Zhongming himself felt a little incredible, his art film actually survived tenaciously under the squeeze of the Han River monster, and took away three million moviegoers from the mouth of this monster, many people said that there were only these two movies in the summer vacation after the Dazhong Award.

"Radio Star, a low-budget movie, can recover the production costs and remuneration with one million viewers, and two million can recover all the investment and make the distribution company and the production company profitable, and three million is already thankful. Zheng Junhe said with great experience. The crowd nodded their heads.

"If these two starring movies are a big hit, do you have any new plans for next year?" Mr. Jung Hyung-don no longer had the resentment of the show, and he asked some very practical questions.

"There is only one "Gorgeous Vacation" that has been filmed for a year, and it is estimated that it will be released next year. Jin Zhongming thought for a while, and was very honest and didn't hide it at all, the people at this table are still the group he trusts the most.

"The market is so good, why don't you get involved?" Park Myung-so was excited when he mentioned making money, but it was not purely a variety show setting.

"The market is not good at all!" Kim Jongming shook his head. "I suspect this year is a year of resurgence, so I'll look at the script, and only get involved with films that have the potential to make money or win awards, and the rest will have to wait. So do you. Don't invest if you have money, not just movies. The recession of the entire industry is coming. ”

"Makes sense!" Unexpectedly, the first person to nod was Park Myung-so, who just thought that Kim Jong-myung should take the initiative to participate in the film market, and he quickly explained when he saw that the people around him were watching. "The reason why I say this is because the catering market is almost at the stage of struggling to survive, so I am looking for new investment areas and environments. ”

"Has it come to this point?" Haha, who was about to open a store himself, immediately retreated.

"That's right, you, wait a minute, if you have any ideas, it's better to wait until you come back from service"

The topic turned to the economic field, which caused almost everyone to sigh, from PD to MC to writer and VJ, all involved, from prices to wages to raising children to buying a house, and for a while, the whole dining room became gloomy.

"The premiere at the end of the month came to help me cheer me on, so I won't send a special notice to my brothers. These are the words that Jin Zhongming forced to say at the moment before he felt drunk, and then staggered out of the restaurant and returned to the nanny car, because he no longer dared to get drunk outside because of the lesson last time.

The next day, September 10, the filmmakers officially announced through CJ Group's official website that the film "Lao Qian", directed by Choi Dong-hoon, starring Kim Jong-myung and Kim Hye-so, with Yoo Hae-jin and Kim Yoon-seok participating, will be released at the end of the month, and the premiere will be held at CJ Cinemas' VIP theater on the Han River. At the same time, the number of screens and theater distribution of the movie were also announced, as well as the nineteen banned labels that everyone gritted their teeth on.

Suddenly, the attention of the movie went up, and Kim Jong-myung's radio star, who received rave reviews and stubbornly took away 3 million moviegoers, had just finished painting, and many reporters persevered in blocking Kim Jong-myung at the door of YG.

"Mr. Jin Zhongming, what do you think of your own box office?"

"Six million!" Of course, Jin Zhongming has some reservations and beware of reporters.

"Do you have anything to say about the Han River monster, which is likely to break 10 million next week?" the reporter asked maliciously.

"What does Mr. Reporter want me to say?" Kim Jong-ming is not a novice for a long time, time will ferment everything, and the image of an adult actor for more than a year and the status of the entertainment industry that has been at a high level since the incident in March this year has allowed him to calmly flirt with reporters.

"The main thing is to ask Mr. Jin Zhongming what he thinks of the release of "Lao Qian" with only 200 screens? The Hanjiang Monster is a record-breaking 800 screens screened at the same time!" The reporter was also very helpless, this kid was like an old fritter, he had to give up the trap and ask directly.

"Ah, this matter!" Jin Zhongming nodded with emotion, of course he knew about the so-called eight hundred screen incidents. The market is sluggish. If there is a good movie, all the theaters will rush to it. Therefore, the box office of the Han River Monster has a lot to do with the snobbery of the theater chain. But the other movies released at the same time are not dry, because the screen is limited, and we will have less if you take more, and among these movies, only the radio star leaves a part of the screen with Ahn Sungji's face for broadcasting, and most of the movies can't even get a single screen.

"Is there anything you have to say about Mr. Kim Jong-ming?" the reporter was already excited.

"Hey, let's talk about it!" Kim Jong-myung sat on the steps in front of the YG building, which made the reporter very excited. "On the question of the number of movie screens. In the final analysis, it is a problem of the market, and the market"

Fifteen minutes later, Jin Zhongming finally stopped and asked, "Do you understand that?"

"Hey, Mr. Jin Zhongming's memory is really good!" The reporter replied hatefully, Jin Zhongming had been talking for a quarter of an hour and was actually reciting the quotations of his teacher An Shengji on this matter! No matter how intense the content was, it was none of his business.

"Is it okay, is it okay? I'm leaving?" asked Kim Jong-ming, getting up.

"Give me an invitation to the premiere. The reporter reluctantly gave up.

"Seoul Sports, yes, I'll have someone send you a piece of the past. Kim Jong-ming got up and patted his ass and left.

However, not only the media and people in the film industry are full of expectations and ideas for Lao Qian, but even Jin Zhongming's house is on fire.

"Give us four movie tickets for the premiere, and a few of us adults are going to see your movie!" Ms. Kwon Jin-sook has always been very neat.

"It's really rare that you would even think of watching my movie. Jin Zhongming nodded and agreed, which was also a little strange.

"It's not like you're moving out next month. It's also nice to show that we care about you. Ms. Kwon Jin-sook felt that her son's question was a bit boring.

"Wood, I'll tell you quietly!" Kim Jong-ming walked into his room to change his clothes, and as soon as he came out, he was blocked by Krystal.

"Tell me what?" asked Jin Zhongming with some strange feelings.

"Why do grown-ups go to your movies. Krystal gave a look of merit.

"Say it. Say yes and give you a reward. Kim Jong Ming took Krystal and walked to the balcony across the door, which was the safest place.

"Last night, the adults got together to discuss Kim Hye-so, and the mothers said that Kim Hye-so was very beautiful but very old, but the fathers said that they were very beautiful, and I didn't finish listening to the specific situation, anyway, in the end, my father was smashed by my mother with a pillow, and then they decided to go to the cinema to see what the newspaper said about the kiss scene between you and Kim Hye-so!" Krystal briefly recounted the situation.

"Goo. Jin Zhongming swallowed his saliva, but he found that he had no ability to stop his parents from going to see his kiss scene with Zheng's father and Zheng's mother.

"Wood!" the little princess shouted, waking up Jin Zhongming, who was in a daze.

"Is the reward? I'll give it to you" Jin Zhongming reacted and hurriedly took his wallet.

"I don't want this. "Krystal was also in high spirits today.

"Then what do you want?" Jin Zhongming was still a little flustered.

"Take me to your nineteen-banned movie!" Krystal reached out and grabbed his brother's arm, his eyes sparkling.

"How is that possible?" Jin Zhongming sneered. "How can a movie that is banned by the Nineteenth Forbidden come to you?"

"I've read the newspaper, and it says it's 19 banned because of gambling, does it matter?" Krystal was a little reluctant. "You go buy two tickets, and I'll put on platform shoes and go in with you. ”

"That's not good!" Jin Zhongming shook his hand and left, what kind of international jokes, adults can't control it, how can you let a little girl watch her kissing scene?

On September 28, 2006, on a Thursday, after the Han River Monster received more than 11 million views, it entered a state of obvious weakness, and this commercial film was officially released with absolute expectations by Kim Jong Ming!
