Chapter 21 enters the crew
(I'm sorry everyone.,Sogou browser swallows the format if you don't pay attention)
Don't be too relieved if some things are solved, after all, life always has to go on. At 8 o'clock in the morning of March 18, Jin Zhongming, dressed in student clothes and carrying a backpack, walked out of the office of the director of the academic affairs office of his college. What should be focused on studying, what is not doing the right job, and what is not willing to lose the country's talents. In fact, when he first entered the interview, he had already told the school that he could take a long leave of absence if he needed to go to the crew, as long as he passed the final exam and had enough credits. But obviously, this director hasn't caught students to educate for a long time, so he has been addicted to Jin Zhongming. Thanks to Jin Zhongming, he knew in his heart that this person was his teacher, and if he really slapped him, he would have to make the headlines of the Central Daily tomorrow and be expelled by the way.
No matter how bad the mood is, there are still some things to do. Kim Jong-ming sat on the cement platform in the school's flower bed and pressed the phone. It's for Jung Jun-ha.
"Youbo Xiyou, Brother Junhe, I'm Jin Zhongming. β
"Hey, it's me, I'm here to make amends. β
"yes, I'm afraid I can't go to your birthday tonight. β
"Yes, I'm going to Gangwon Province today, I'm going to press conference right away, and I'll leave in the afternoon. β
On the other side of the phone, Jung Jun-ha, who was doing makeup at MBC, was very depressed, and he was expecting Kim Jong-ming to be the captain of the transportation team tonight, but he couldn't come. However, if people want to make movies, they can only encourage them at this time.
Putting down the phone, Kim Jong Ming pressed a number again.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Kim Jong-ming and a group of leading actors and directors met at the Shilla Hotel in Seoul, and at the same time attended the launch press conference and the head of the film production company FilmItSuda, which is understandable, after all, this film has invested almost 30% of the company's working capital, and the director is directing a film for the first time.
At half past ten, the film launch conference began, and after some routine questions, the press conference gradually entered a good situation. Some pointed questions also began to appear, but they were all general, and they were all directed at the director, questioning that his previous shooting experience was limited to commercials, which was unconvincing. This made Kim Jong-ming have some reverie, doesn't it mean that the director's background is very deep? Why are so many media embarrassed him?
But fortunately, Park Kwang-hyun has also been in the industry for more than ten years after all, how can he be stumped by these questions, and the back and forth between the two sides also makes the press conference interesting.
"Then Jin Zhongmingxi, can I ask you a question?" A female reporter with dark glasses suddenly raised her hand, and the microphone showed that she was from SBS TV.
"Of course, Madam Reporter, please speak. β
"Jin Zhongmingxi, can you stand up and let us see the writing on your clothes?"
Within a second, Jin Zhongming had already given the female reporter a thumbs up 100 times in his heart, and Lao Tzu had been waiting for this for a long time. Korean universities do not have uniforms, but there is a type of clothing that resembles a school uniformβa baseball jersey. This kind of clothing is exactly the same as a regular baseball team uniform in terms of clothing style. It is just that different logos and words are printed according to the name of different universities and colleges and majors.
Jin Zhongming has not appeared on the public stage for a long time, and many reporters also saw his introduction on the announcement text given by the organizer of the press conference, and remembered that he was the child star before. And this reporter's family happened to have a son who had just entered school this month like Jin Zhongming, so she noticed that Jin Zhongming's clothes were "college uniforms". So when others were busy playing with Park Kwang-hyun, she was always curious about where Kim Jong-myung, a former child star, was at university. But this curiosity, while not malicious, is not benevolent. One is that as a mother, she instinctively compares Kim Jong-ming with her son, hoping that his school is not as good as her son's Sungkyunkwan University. The other is an ordinary person's guess about the identity of the other party's child star, according to her thoughts, Jin Zhongming, as a child star, naturally has bad grades, so the university he was admitted to is not a good school.
The two were superimposed, and the female reporter finally couldn't hold back her curiosity and raised her hand to ask.
However, let her down. Kim Jong-myung's clothes are prominently displayed with the emblem of Seoul National University, the highest university in South Korea. It's just that he has been keeping his head down before, together with Liu Dehuan, another child star who was born to play a young soldier, the two of them sat on the edge very low-key, and no one noticed it at all. Kim Jong-myung turned around, and the identity of this year's new undergraduate student of Seoul National University's Department of History was revealed.
There was a lot of discussion among the reporters around. Park Guangxian's face was relaxed, this kid is good, and he immediately relieved me when he stood up. Several leading actors on the side also had light on their faces and nodded frequently. Liu Dehuan is even more envious, his grades are very bad, and it is estimated that he can only take the acting department or something.
Jin Zhongming's hand is quite beautiful. Koreans are almost the most diploma-minded in the world.
First of all, the Korean college entrance examination is very interesting, although after the miracle of the Han River, various universities have received strong resources, and well-known private universities have also sprung up, and South Korea's university resources have entered absolute saturation. However, Korean universities are determined not to expand their enrollment, and more than half of the annual college entrance examination must be completed, and it is even more difficult for good universities. South Korea's gaokao subjects are concentrated on one day, and at this time of year, the stock market is postponed, public officials are sheltered, and roads are closed. And on this day, all kinds of fairy and monster talismans flew all over the sky, even if it was Jin Zhongming's achievement, his parents and grandparents took leave to burn incense together, and interestingly, his grandparents went to worship the Buddhist temple, and his grandparents went to the church to pray. This situation and emotions show that Koreans attach great importance to diplomas. Ten years later, the economy is in recession, and it is difficult to find a job with a good diploma, and Koreans still care about this. And even more so now?
It's March, the university's admissions interview has just ended, and the topic is still the focus of public opinion. Therefore, when Kim Jong-ming sat down, many questions were thrown at him.
"Hey, that's right, I'm from the history department of Seoul University. β
"Why did you choose the Department of History? It's a hobby and an interest. When I was in high school, everyone could go to my high school, Hanyang High School, and I had two nicknames in high school. One is called the Prince of Baseball and the other is called the History Teacher. The main sport of the day is baseball, and the hobby outside of sports is reading history books. β
"Will you concentrate on your studies? It depends, but I still like movies very much. However, I made an agreement with my teacher that as long as I had a course credit, I would give up the film and concentrate on my studies. β
"17 years old? This was actually just a misunderstanding, it was summer when I came back from transferring from Los Angeles, and I went from fifth grade to first year of junior high school in a daze. But thankfully, the homework kept up. β
"I have great respect and recognition for director Park Kwang-hyun, and I feel honored to be able to star with Shin Ha-kyun, Jung Jae-young, and Kang Hye-jung. I think directing this film will not only help me successfully transition into an adult actor, but also reach the top box office record in 2005. β
"It's not a big deal, it's from my heart. It is a reflection of my trust in the director's skills. β
Seeing the reporters leave the hall, Kim Jong Ming stretched his waist and made his way to the chair again. But soon he immediately jumped up and bowed to the person in front of him, and Park Kwang-hyun personally came over to pull him to dinner. Kim Jong-ming unexpectedly rejected his director's invitation.
"Is there anything else? Park Guangxian was a little annoyed, he was optimistic about Kim Jong-myung, a child star who turned career, because he was recommended by Yoo Jae-seok, and this kid had just helped him out of the siege. You must know that in a film crew, the director has the most power. He personally came to take this kid to dinner to help him and tell the people in the crew that this kid was his person. But I didn't expect Jin Zhongming to be so ignorant.
"Yes, director nim. My teacher is coming soon, he is going to take me to say hello to you and a few seniors, I am going to go out to meet him, I really didn't expect you to come to me. Jin Zhongming is not a director who wants to offend him, and it is not the first time he has acted in a movie, so he doesn't know that the person in front of him is his own Qingtian master in the next few months. It's just that he doesn't dare to offend his teacher.
Park Kwang-hyun is not an unreasonable person, he heard that Kim Jong-myung's teacher was coming, and his face immediately returned to normal. Since he dares to accept apprentices, the person who comes is either a senior or a high-ranking person.
"In that case, let's invite your teacher to have dinner together, I don't know which senior?"
"It's Teacher Ann Shengji Nim. β
Park Kwang-hyun was dumbfounded.
Who is Ahn Sung-ki? Park Kwang-hyun can't remember how many actor titles An Sung-ki has in his hands. But the only thing that is certain is that this is the top three actors and seniors in the entire Chungmuro. Even if An Shengji will act in fewer movies in the future, or even stop filming. It's not something that a newly debuting film director can offend. How did this kid become Ahn Sung-ki's student? Why did Yoo Jae-seok come to introduce him to him in the first place? All kinds of doubts shook Park Kwang-hyun's head, but he couldn't afford to continue to think about it.
"Senior An Shengji is coming?"
"Teacher Nim said to be at the back door of the hotel on time at twelve o'clock and asked me to pick him up then. β
Park Kwang-hyun looked at his watch at 11:52. He nodded and said to Jin Zhongming: "Let's go, let's go together." β
An Shengji arrived on time as promised.
He is dressed very similarly to Kim Jong-ming today, both baseball uniforms, baseball caps, and sunglasses. Park Guangxian and Kim Jong-ming greeted them, and at the back door of the hotel, Ahn Sung-ki took Park Kwang-hyun's hand and said a few words, and then asked him to take care of Kim Jong-myung more, and at the same time be extremely strict with him. Park Guangxian naturally didn't interrupt without an eye, just kept nodding and agreeing, while Kim Jong-ming could only follow Ahn Sung-ki's words and keep bowing.
In this way, the three of them came to a banquet hall on the third floor, where the opening banquet of "Welcome to Dongmo Village" was being held. The so-called start-up banquet is a rare banquet in Korea that does not drink alcohol, mainly for the crew and actors to say hello to each other and fill their stomachs by the way. Because we had to go to a private ranch in Gangwon Province for filming, this kick-off banquet included almost all the actors and almost the entire crew of the crew, so it was very lively. Although the director has not yet arrived, the assistant director and the three leading actors have already started the atmosphere.
At the door, Ahn Sung-ki and Park Kwang-hyun symbolically excused themselves, and Ahn Sung-ki took the lead in the door.
