Chapter 081 Pure Love VS Twilight Love (II)
Jiang Cao was stunned for half a minute, he didn't know if Jin Zhongming's words were a threat or a pleading, or a simple wall knock, uh, anyway, he never thought that his appearance would be knocked by the wall one day.
And Jin Zhongming didn't say much, just pressed the other party's shoulders and stared at the other party's eyes, quietly waiting for the answer.
"I said no, I will reshoot?" Jiang Cao awkwardly repeated the previous agreement between the two.
"That's right, you can watch the movie first, and if you can't do it, you can remake it!" Kim Jong-ming reaffirmed that promise categorically.
"That'll do. Jiang Cao nodded, and at the same time quietly pushed away Jin Zhongming's hands. "Tell me, what step of my work do you like?"
"Of course, it's your pioneering work "Innocence Comics"!" Kim Jong Ming said with a smile. "Is there a better fit? You can't let me shoot your thriller comics, right?"
Jiang Cao pursed her lips, and then glanced at Jin Zhongming helplessly: "I think you may be slapped in the face again." ”
Jin Zhongming immediately restrained his smile, and at the same time understood what the other party meant, he pointed to his feet and asked, "Liu Zhitai's predecessor also took a fancy to this "Innocent Comics"?"
"And I've agreed. "Now ginger grass is even more embarrassing. "Ten minutes before you came, I promised everything. ”
"I'm going to talk to him. Jin Zhongming patted his cheek, and then went downstairs directly.
"If you can't talk, you can only be slapped in the face. Jiang Cao kindly comforted, but before he finished speaking, Jin Zhongming had already gone downstairs, and he had no choice but to follow.
"I heard that my predecessors are going to shoot "Innocent Comics"?" Kim Jong-ming sighed first, and then sat opposite Liu Zhitai with a bench. He refused Lee Yoon-hee, who wanted to get up and give up his seat.
"That's right!" Liu Zhitai's face also became serious. Jin Zhongming's attitude also gave him a little headache. Of course, he is not afraid of Jin Zhongming, but how can he want to offend the other party.
"Isn't it negotiable?" Kim Jong Ming forced a breath to calm his mood, this comic was what he had in mind from the beginning.
"I'm afraid it's not negotiable. Liu Zhitai thought about it for a while, and decided to refuse with the most resolute attitude, if it was really entangled, it would make things worse. "I haven't touched a movie in two years, and it's rare to come across a script that makes my heart flutter, so I won't make any concessions and I won't talk to you. "Still. Having said that, Liu Zhitai still left a little leeway. "Of course, I'll make it clear first, my attitude is that I'm worried that you want to take the rights to adapt this manga or this character of mine away from my company and me. You know, first of all, I like this character very much, and secondly, SM-picture's cooperation with my company enjoys the rights to this movie, and I can occupy 30% without paying a penny, and I need to be responsible for the people of my company. So, if you had the idea of fighting, I wouldn't blink an eye even if Senior Choi Min-sik sat here and persuaded me. ”
Jin Zhongming nodded. Then quietly waited for the other party to continue, and it was obvious that the other party's words showed a resolute attitude. But it is also a little more modest.
"But if you want to act in this movie, I raise my hand and welcome!" Liu Zhitai continued to reply, and unceremoniously stretched out his hand to Cui Siyuan next to him. "In that case, you come, I'll let him go!"
Jin Zhongming glanced at Cui Siyuan expressionlessly, and Cui Dashao's face was already dripping with shame.
"So here's the problem. Liu Zhitai leaned back on the sofa behind him. "What the hell is Mr. Kim Jong-myung going to be like that? a filmmaker, my character, his role, or something else?"
"I don't want the power to make the film, nor the starring role. Jin Zhongming looked at several other people in the room, and finally set his eyes on director Liu Changhe. "I came for the director's position from the beginning. ”
There was an eerie silence in the room.
"Ahem!" Jiang Cao, as the owner, couldn't stand it anymore, and he coughed loudly from the stairs, which broke the strange atmosphere in the room.
Liu Changhe immediately laughed, he didn't want to express any ridicule or anything like that, just an instinctive feeling that was unbelievable.
"This is really, I never expected it!" Liu Zhitai also laughed at once. "I made so many short films just to be a good director. But you, you've only made a short film, and it's only been two or three days since it was released, so you're ready to take over a feature-length work. It really impresses me, it impresses me. ”
"I'll just think you're complimenting me. Jin Zhongming responded lightly.
"It was meant to be!" Liu Zhitai suddenly became serious. "Your determination is truly remarkable. It's not like me, who hesitate to make a short film, then shoot another one, and then hesitate and timid, and finally the short film can't stop at all. So you're really amazing, at least for me, because you gave me the urge to go and shoot that script that had been sitting for five or six years. ”
"If that's the case, I'm honored. Jin Zhongming continued to respond with that unhurried tone and natural expression. "Filmmakers all over Korea know that you are a great director, and if it is because of me that you are allowed to plunge directly into a feature-length film, then I will have bragging rights in the future. However, let's get back to the point, I'll be the director, you and Sister Zhen'an will be the starring, how about the release of the film and the investment in your company?"
"I'd love to say yes. Liu Zhitai replied without thinking. "But no. Director Liu Changhe: When I first debuted ten years ago, I used to "
"I see!" Kim Jong Ming interrupted the other party's narration very rudely. "There is no need for seniors to tell me stories, you are Liu Zhitai, I am Jin Zhongming, if you are not willing to give in, I have nothing to say. It's like director Bong Joon-ho gave me a male number two after rejecting my request for a leading role, and I'm not qualified to say anything to him. And your attitude is already very clear, if you don't have to talk about it, forget it. ”
Liu Zhitai stared at Jin Zhongming in a little surprise, he didn't expect the other party to agree so neatly. But at the same time, I was also a little uneasy.
"That's good!" Liu Changhe suddenly interjected unexpectedly. "Mr. Jin Zhongming. You can understand best. But I want to make it clear. I haven't made a movie in three or four years, and I was a little lax, but with someone like you standing behind me, I think I'd take this movie seriously. ”
"Then please leave!" Jin Zhongming stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, of course he understood the vague meaning of the demonstration and challenge in the other party's words, so he was even more polite. "I still have to discuss his other works with Mr. Jiang Cao, "Innocent Comics" is gone, I have to choose a similar one to fight with Director Liu Changhe, right?"
Liu Zhitai and Liu Changhe glanced at each other. The two of them are not boring people, since they have kept this "Innocent Comics", what kind of battle of will they still stay here to play? So the two got up and left directly.
And almost for a moment, Cai Zhen'an, who had been staring at something outside the window, also seemed to have recovered her strength, she nodded at Jin Zhongming with a smile, and then left with her. Li Yunxi did the same, she stood up and bowed to Jiang Cao, then nodded to Jin Zhongming, and quickly followed Cai Zhenan away.
But Cui Dashao was still sitting there.
"Why don't you leave?" asked Jin Zhongming with a frown. "How can I hear people say that you have become more sensible in the last year or two, what is this?"
"It's nothing. Choi Si-won stood up and replied. "I just want to express my admiration for you, and I also want to learn from your attitude of not asking for anything. Singing and composing. Making movies and learning to be a director is really amazing. ”
"I'm better than you. Jin Zhongming replied coldly. He still remembered the incident that had caused Sika.
Cui Siyuan stopped talking, he also stood up and bowed to Jiang Cao, and then turned his head and left.
"Handsome Mr. Gingergrass. When Cui Siyuan also left, Jin Zhongming turned his head and grabbed the other party's shoulder. "Now do you have any other works that you would recommend to me? ”
"What do you want?" Jiang Cao sighed, he felt that he was a little unlucky today, and his willpower was obviously wrong, and he actually had to give away the copyrights of two works in a row.
"Don't thriller comics. Kim held out his first finger.
"Then there's only one work left. Ginger Cao replied after rolling her eyes.
Jin Zhongming ignored the other party's answer, and then stretched out a second finger: "The fame and popularity are even better than "Innocent Comics". ”
"That's still just one work. Jiang Cao replied speechlessly.
"Which work?" Jin Zhongming's mood suddenly improved a lot, but at the same time, he was also a little puzzled, he had been paying attention to Jiang Cao's works for the past two months, and he really couldn't think of which work the other party was talking about.
"I just finished serializing. Jiang Cao rubbed his hands and replied. "I Love You. ”
"That comic about twilight love?" Kim Jong-ming shook his hand and almost didn't choke the other party's neck.
"Innocence, warmth, high popularity, good evaluation, that's my best work so far, I'm looking at giving you face in today's file to give you this comic that hasn't been materialized. Why, don't you?" asked Jiang Cao in turn.
Jin Zhongming frowned, he found that he wanted to refute but could not refute the other party's words at all. But then again, a work about twilight love will win an award, but how can it be just positive with Liu Changhe's innocent cartoon just now?
At the same time, in the parking lot not far from the villa, Liu Changhe and Liu Zhitai were also discussing this issue.
"Although Mr. Ginger Cao has a lot of works, there are really not many that can be compared to innocent comics. Liu Changhe is full of confidence. "So we're already on top. ”
"I hope so!" Liu Zhitai thought for a while, and could only answer like this.
"Senior!" At this time, Cui Siyuan quickly ran over from a distance.
"What's wrong with Shiyuan?" Liu Changhe glanced at Liu Zhitai, who was slightly embarrassed, and took the initiative to greet him.
"Director Liu, it's the same with you. Cui Siyuan glanced at Liu Zhitai, who turned his back, and then smiled at Liu Changhe in front of him. "I thought about it for a while, SJ's singing process has been busy recently, so I won't participate in this movie. Of course, don't worry about investment, I won't go wrong with the ticket, you can discuss it with Mr. Li Xiuman, and see who is suitable for you!"
After that, Cui Siyuan pulled his car and left directly, leaving only Liu Zhitai, who was as heavy as water, Liu Changhe and Li Yunxi, who were stunned, and Cai Zhenan, who didn't care about just watching the sky.
PS: Let's try to join the group as much as possible, it's very unfavorable to talk in the book review area. (To be continued.) )
