Chapter 258: A Bad Press Conference
On April 1st, April Fool's Day, in the lobby of a hotel in Yeouido, SBS's special drama "Splendid Heritage" was being held here.
It's just that there's something wrong with the direction they care about.
"Mr. Jin Zhongming. A reporter from Chosun Ilbo asked with interest as he held up the microphone. "On S.M's abrupt abandonment of its previous tough attitude......
"What then. Jin Zhongming interjected helplessly. "I know it's rude to interrupt your question, but it's a ...... question."
"That's a different question. The reporter relied on his name as the Chosun Ilbo here. "There are rumors that the Fair Trade Commission and the Artists Rights Mutual Aid Committee will work together to promote a JYJ Law, and hope to further regulate unfair competition in the industry, what do you think about this matter, can you give me an exact explanation?"
"I think so. Jin Zhongming is really helpless. "You can try to ask my teacher, today is the launch conference of "Splendid Legacy", not the press conference of the committee, we have to respect the whole crew as much as possible, how do you see Hyo-joo's appearance today? Hyo-joo, can you introduce ......?"
There was a burst of laughter in the audience, and this group of reporters also felt that they had indeed gone too far this time, and even forced Jin Zhongming to take the initiative to ask questions for them. But come to think of it, the reporters can also be called persistent and tireless, and their problems are still focused on the sudden reluctance of S.M Company yesterday, after all, there are too many topics to track about this matter, and the topicality is much stronger than the regular problems of TV dramas. To put it mildly, even if they don't ask a question, they can come up with a report on the TV series when they go back. And it will be detailed and sincere.
As a result, Li Xiuman of S.M Company resigned as executive director, what shareholder changed, and rumors that Jin Zhongming went to the meeting alone, all kinds of related questions were still one after another, and they were all staring at Jin Zhongming. to the end. From 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., everyone else, such as the screenwriter, director, Han Hyo-joo, Moon Chae-won, Bae so-bin, and even the producer of SBS TV, these people together got a total of two questions, which were made by the press officer and SBS TV's own reporter who was temporarily arrested again.
The crew made their first public appearance, and Jin Zhongming used the media to teach the rest of the crew a good lesson, but what they never expected was that there would be more classes in the past few days.
"I'm a reporter for the Korea Finance Daily. Another named reporter stood up. "I would like to ask Mr. Jin Zhongming. Uh, you...... I remember you had a lot of interest in TV dramas, even if "Coffee Prince No. 1" was so successful before, but you still had a hard time getting used to the filming process of TV dramas after the fact, what made you change your mind? I mean, what attracted you to this TV series?"
Kim Jong-ming let out a long sigh, this reporter from the Korean Financial News is his own person, and it is estimated that he asked such a decent question because of his own first two big faces.
"It's the script!" After breathing a sigh of relief, Kim Jong-ming immediately gave a standard answer. "After getting the script last Christmas. I was immediately intrigued by the series. Actually, it's been a few years since I debuted. There are a lot of TV series invitations I have received, and it is difficult to give an exact number of TV drama scripts I have seen, but in my opinion, this is the best script I have ever seen, and Su Xianjing's screenwriting skills surprised me, I want to ......"
"Are you saying this is the best script you've ever seen?" the reporter interrupted Kim Jong-ming's narration in surprise. "How about comparing it to "Coffee Prince No. 1"? Or just let you compare this TV series to "Coffee Prince No. 1"?"
"First of all. Jin Zhongming first smiled bitterly. But the tone is still calm and calm. "I know it's offensive to say that, but I'm also a director, and I don't want to lie about it. Specifically, the TV series itself is not easy to compare, because one has already been filmed and the other has not been filmed. There's so much going on here, so I can't really assert it. However, this TV series is really better in terms of script, or more simply, I will give you the answer you want. ”
In fact, as early as the middle of last year, Kim Jong-ming showed a temperament different from most Korean filmmakers at the press conference of "I Love You", that is, he has always had one thing to say and two to say about the work itself, and he is not willing to be perfunctory in his attitude at all. Of course, the reporters also hoped that Jin Zhongming could say something 'cruel' this time, and the other party did not disappoint them.
"In terms of script, I think 'Splendid Legacy' is indeed better than 'Coffee Prince No.1'! and this script has laid the foundation for the TV series to become a national TV series!"
There was a commotion in the audience, putting aside those historical dramas and feature-length dramas, the only national TV drama that has been recognized since "My Name is Jin Sanshun" is "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop", if someone else said so, their group of reporters designated to go back and mock it again, but it was the actor of "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop" who said this, and he was the No. 1 hero of that national TV series...... What the hell is going on?
"I would venture to ask again. Of course, this reporter from South Korean finance will not give up this good opportunity, and he immediately interjected. "There are dramas on the three major TV stations in South Korea every day, but since 05, only the two TV dramas "My Name is Kim Sam Soon" and "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop" have been recognized by the whole people, I mean in case ......"
"I know what you mean. Jin Zhongming, as always, showed his serious and unsentimental attitude towards film and television works. "If its final ratings really don't meet the standards of national dramas, then it's the responsibility of me, Hyo-joo, SBS TV and the director, and it has nothing to do with the script and Su Hyun-jung's screenplay. That's what I really think, and you can just write it when you go back. ”
The audience immediately buzzed, many people were talking to each other, and all kinds of behaviors and remarks broke out in an instant. The entire hotel lobby becomes like a wet market.
Some reporters simply didn't know who Su Xianjing was, and they used their mobile phones to inquire while inquiring there; some reporters took pictures of everyone on the stage with great interest, as if they wanted to make a picture of what Kim Jong-ming said just now; and some reporters simply looked through the information released by SBS TV station before, and felt that these people did not come to the TV series in the first place, but only moved to pay attention after hearing Kim Jong-ming's evaluation.
And seeing that the reporters finally put their minds on the TV series, the vast majority of people on the stage were not only happy. But on the contrary, they all felt a little bad.
Su Xianjing is embarrassed, this is naturally needless to say, although she has been a screenwriter for many years and has many works, the most successful is only a daily drama, and the main drama can be said to be very ordinary. Now Kim Jong Ming praises her and his script, of course she is very grateful, and this script is indeed her proud work, whether it is SBS TV or the two leading actors, everyone is moved by the script. But at this moment. In the face of such a large-scale questioning behavior by the media, she has always been proud, but she doesn't know what to prove herself.
And the supporting actors next to him are Alexander, Jin Zhongming, as a big name in the crew plus the most professional person, he has almost been recognized by the media and even these people themselves as soon as he opens his mouth. But then the problem also arises, this person said personally, if this TV series is really bad, you have to blame someone other than the screenwriter. Who are the other people? Aren't they the ones who really smash the show when the time comes? Can it really be blamed on Kim Jong Ming and SBS TV? Who dares to blame it? Who dares to throw the black pot? Don't you want to mix in the circle? You know, in the past, screenwriters have always been professional black pot users in TV dramas, but they were easily covered with a golden bell jar by Jin Zhongming's such a fluttering sentence. Belch. What kind of national TV series are you talking about? These supporting characters really didn't think about it that way.
However, OnePlus is more difficult than one. Su Xianjing and these actors certainly feel very aggrieved and sad, but director Chen He already wants to hang himself at the moment, even if he doesn't hang himself, he wants to find a place where no one is going to cry!
There's really no way, he really feels that he is miserable, not pretending!
First of all, our director Chen He has long felt that his qualifications are too shallow. How shallow is he? He's always been a VJ. Then he began to turn into a TV series photographer the year before last, and at the end of last year, that is, when Wen Genying's "Wind Painter", he was named an assistant director, and it was precisely because he was in charge of Wen Genying's part in "Wind Painter" that he became a director with Wen Genying's outbreak. That's right. This is his first official directorial work! He is a junior of director Kim Jong-myung who sits next to him and is more than a round younger than him! The standard can't be more standard!
Secondly, our director Chen He still feels that his status is relatively low when he goes here today. You must know that directors also have to be classified, TV drama directors are not as good as screenwriters, and they also have to listen to the orders of the TV station producer, and now they are given the position of the leading actor by a senior who carries the name of a film director, plus it seems that the heroine Han Hyo-joo is originally Kim Jong-myung's person, and he can't afford to offend himself by touching his chest. So who can he, the 'director', manage now? Guan Wen Chaeyuan and Pei Xiubin? It doesn't seem right, Pei Xiubin is also a super old qualification, and he is still the most important pillar in Taiwan, and he can't control it himself. Do you want to ignore the following Cai Yuan? But it's a little girl who is idle and hurts to bully others?
In the end, our director Chen He also felt that he was squeezed into the corner by Jin Zhongming's words at the moment. That's according to what Jin Zhongming just said, combined with his own specific situation, Director Chen He was surprised to discover a big secret: If the TV series is really smashed, there is no doubt that the biggest black pot is his own, because he is the 'director'! But if the TV series is going to be successful, the credit is naturally only for the screenwriter and actors, and he is the one who hugs his thighs, because everyone knows that he is a 'you know' kind of 'director'!
What did I think before? Why did I feel that becoming a full-fledged director was an ecstatic thing? Why did I have to excitedly pull my colleagues to drink? Why do I proudly show off to my wife and children?
Is there a director in the world who is more bitter than me? To put it more simply, is there anyone in this crew who is more bitter than me?
The answer is yes, Park Won-jong, the special producer of SBS TV, who is sitting on the very edge, thinks that he is the hardest person in the crew! Moreover, he had already come to this conclusion nearly a week before the launch of the press conference.
That's right, as the confidant of SBS Minister Kim Yong-sub, Park Won-jong already understood the fundamental reason for his appointment as the TV drama producer when he had tea with Kim Yong-sub a week ago, and until now, Minister Kim Yong-sub's earnest teachings are still echoing in his ears.
"Yuanzong, I don't know who to find if I don't look for you for this matter. That bastard Kim Jong-ming asked me for a veto on the entire affairs of the crew, and I agreed. In other words, he is the emperor of this crew, and when you arrive at the crew, you must work hard to assist him in his work. If you can, please try to maintain the dignity of the TV station......"
Park Yuanzong doesn't remember the next words, and there are only three things in his mind now. First, try to make compromises, second, try to assist Kim Jong-ming, and third, while maintaining the first two items, we must also try to maintain the authority of SBS TV in the crew......
"Xiba!" this is the conclusion that Park Yuanzong finally came to conclusion.
"Okay, let's have one last question, please be sure to ask questions related to the crew. The press officer took a look at the time and decided to terminate the frustrating press conference. "Uh, that Seoul sports reporter over there. ”
"Seoul Sports & Entertainment Edition. The male reporter stood up with a smile. "I have a question for Miss Han Hyo-joo, as far as we know, in the entertainment industry, several actors born between 87 and 88 have always had a good relationship, and they are all commensurate with their relatives, such as Miss Han Hyo-joo, Mr. Kim Jong-myeong, Miss Moon Geun-young, Mr. Jang Geun-suk, Mr. Yoo Deok-hwan, ......"
Han Hyo-joo smiled and nodded, Moon Geun-young and Jang Keun-seok had just acted in a popular TV series, and now they are cooperating with Kim Jong-myung again, it would be strange if there were no related problems.
"That's like this. The male reporter smiled even more. "In the last period of February, when the contract campaign that Mr. Kim Jong-myung was working hard for was at its lowest, the previous group including Mr. Jang Keun Suk, Mr. Yoo Deok-hwan, Miss Moon Geun-young, etc., had spoken out in support of this movement, but we did not see Miss Han Hyo-joo that you had similar behavior, what is your attitude towards the previous campaign? Have you completed the relevant contract change with the brokerage company recently? Thank you. ”
"Xiba!" This is the only word that Han Hyo-joo, who has always had an excellent image, popped out of her heart at this moment.
