748 There Is Always Light In This World
In fact, wanting to put "The Crucible" on the screen is also something he has always wanted to do. It's just that he's been too busy lately to spare time.
Unexpectedly, someone walked in front of him.
Shi Zhenqiu was not dissatisfied because his ideas were robbed, in fact, the adaptation of "The Melting Pot" was not for any honor and benefit at all, but for justice.
If it is righteousness, what difference does it make between him and someone else?
As long as someone does it and justice can be done, that's for the best.
And he was satisfied to be able to do something about this righteousness.
Seeing that his attitude was so clear, this made Kong and Liu look very excited.
Kong Liu rubbed his hands together, and in the expectation of Hwang Dong-hyuk and Kong Zhi-yong, he said his true purpose.
"That's right, maybe screenwriter Shi should be able to understand it too. Although we had the intention of adapting this into a movie, the difficulties we faced were too great. Among other things, many production and distribution companies are reluctant to take over. We approached a lot of producers one after another, but they were all pushed back. Screenwriter Seok, you are the best producer in our Republic of Korea, I wonder if you can help us?"
After Kong Liu finished speaking, the three of them all stared nervously at Shi Zhenqiu's mouth.
I don't know what will come out of his mouth.
When they came to see Shi Zhenqiu today, the three of them were mentally prepared enough.
Of course, you can't do it without mental preparation.
Because in order to prepare for this movie, they ran a lot of places. Many of them are well-known in the film industry, and even in the whole country, they are very influential.
But even such people, when they heard that "The Crucible" was going to be adapted, they all shook their heads, and on the contrary, they advised them not to fall into the quagmire.
The reason why Shi Zhenqiu was found was because the relationship between the three of them had already been used.
Here, is their last hope.
If Shi Zhenqiu can't help them, they don't know how long they will have to work hard to achieve the filming of this movie.
This is still just filming, and the problem of release is even more serious.
But the three of them can't think about it so long-term, at least they have to shoot the film first.
Although he had already made some preparations, Shi Zhenqiu's reaction was still beyond their expectations.
I saw that this person didn't hesitate at all, and said directly: "Of course you can, I agreed to this matter." What do you need help with? money, actors, or whatever. If you have any requests, just ask for them. ”
He agreed......
Kong and Liu looked at each other, completely unable to believe what they heard.
All along, they have been running around endlessly, and what they have been working hard for a long time but can't succeed in has become so happy here in Shi Zhenqiu.
Kong Zhiyong was pleasantly surprised, afraid that Shi Zhenqiu would not understand the situation, so he hurriedly explained: "Screenwriter Shi, maybe you don't know. This play ......"
Without waiting for her to finish, Shi Zhenqiu waved his hand, with a clear smile on his face.
"No, I know, I know everything. Isn't it that some people don't want to be exposed, and they think it's a shame. In fact, it is the greatest shame to let this happen without the perpetrators being punished. ”
Hearing his categorical words, the three of them were all in awe, and they didn't expect him to have such a righteous and awe-inspiring idea.
Under the reverent gaze of the three people, Shi Zhenqiu's words continued.
"The only thing we can do as filmmakers is to use our profession to expose these ugly things in broad daylight. I believe that any sin, as long as it sees the sun, there will be nothing to hide. ”
When he said this, Shi Zhenqiu was also remorseful.
As a filmmaker, why didn't he think of it for a long time?
Ever since he learned about it, he has been thinking about how he can get justice for the children who have been hurt.
However, he made a lot of efforts, but it didn't work.
It should have been thought a long time ago that if the movie had been used, this tragic story would have been seen by more people. If it attracts the attention of the people, will those who are in power dare to continue to remain indifferent?
Thinking about this, Shi Zhenqiu of course did not hesitate to support the release of this movie.
He doesn't care what some people think, no matter how much resistance there will be, he must do it.
Especially as a Jeonnam native, he has always felt ashamed to know that this incident happened in Gwangju. If those bastards are not punished, this shame will never go away.
It has always been said that men in the south and women in the north have men in the south, and some men in the south are not only in appearance, but also have a sense of responsibility like a man.
When Kong Liu and the others heard his remarks, they all showed ecstasy and agreement.
They have been under tremendous pressure to prepare for the adaptation, isn't it for this kind of public intention?
It's really unbelievable that I am not alone, and there are people who think the same as them.
Kong Liu excitedly grabbed Shi Zhenqiu's hand, and he was already in tears.
"Screenwriter Shi, thank you. Thank you very much, with your help, our wish will definitely come true. ”
Shi Zhenqiu was very calm and asked about the filmmaking.
"Senior, let's talk about what you need me to do, right?"
Kong Liu also knew that he was happy a little early, so he quickly cheered up.
"Our biggest problem at the moment is that we have adapted the script, but there is no production company to undertake it. If so, will Mystic89 be able to take on the production task? Please rest assured that we will do our best to prepare for the production costs. ”
For them at the moment, the biggest problem is shooting.
Kong Liu's company is a brokerage company, Kong Zhiyong is a writer, and Hwang Dong-hyuk can form a simple crew, but to complete the filming of the movie, it is impossible to think without the help of the production company.
This is also their biggest difficulty at the moment.
As it happens, Mystic89 is the production company.
However, Shi Zhenqiu heard something else from his words.
"What, your production costs are insufficient? It doesn't matter, I'll bear all the shortcomings. ”
As long as this movie can be turned into a movie, no matter how much cost is paid, Shi Zhenqiu doesn't care.
Seeing that Shi Zhenqiu not only agreed to help with the production, but also undertook the insufficient production costs, this really made Kong and Liu the three of them not know what to say.
Huang Donghyuk rubbed his hands together and said excitedly: "Screenwriter Shi, if those victims know about your righteous deeds, I don't know how to thank you?"
Shi Zhenqiu smiled subtly, he didn't care about this, but had something else to say.
"But I have a request, I wonder if you can agree to it?"
He has paid so much, if he doesn't ask for anything at all, Kong Liu and the others will feel strange.
So they all listened intently, not knowing what he was going to ask for.
Shi Zhenqiu's expression was very serious.
"My only request is that if this film is released, then all the income except for the production cost must be used as a fund to protect the rights and interests of the disabled. Do you have any comments?"
The drama "The Melting Pot", because of the strong spiritual shock, Shi Zhenqiu didn't plan to make any money from it at all.
Even if he makes money, he doesn't have to be in a meaningful place, and his conscience will not pass.
If such money is used for enjoyment, it will be damned.
Kong Liu and the others were shocked again, and they didn't expect that Shi Zhenqiu would not consider the issue of interests.
They were already thinking about this when they were looking for a producer.
The three of them prepared this movie, but they actually had the same idea as Shi Zhenqiu, and they didn't think about making any money.
If there is a producer to help make it, they don't even want a penny of profit.
But what they didn't expect was that Shi Zhenqiu was actually like this.
This is really like-minded, and for a while, the atmosphere between the four people is finally harmonious.
Kong Liu laughed, he had never been so high-spirited.
"Screenwriter Shi, your righteousness really touched us. So that's it?"
Shi Zhenqiu smiled, and also fulfilled a wish.
"We all have the same ideals, all for righteousness. Since we all have a noble purpose, we must carry this meaning through to the end. ”
Now Kong and Liu have made it clear that Shi Zhenqiu is the same kind of person as them.
What a blessing to be able to find such a collaborator.
Therefore, for Shi Zhenqiu's opinions, the three of them can listen unconditionally.
Shi Zhenqiu had already made up his mind.
"Don't worry about the release of the movie. I have a good relationship with Chairman Lee Mi-kyung of CJ Group, and I will personally convince her. ”
His words were not too full.
Because he couldn't be sure whether Li Meijing would agree.
After all, supporting the screening of "The Crucible" is not trivial, Li Meijing was born in a chaebol and knows more things.
Whether she or CJ Group's top management can agree or not, no one really knows.
But for the sake of this movie, he will do his best.
sent Kong and Liu away very well, and Shi Zhenqiu specially instructed them not to take care of the rest, just improve the script and crew.
Other things, he will solve.
This time, Shi Zhenqiu's role has changed. He stopped being a screenwriter and became a producer.
Personally watching Kong and Liu leave, Shi Zhenqiu called Enhao to stop.
"You're going to do one thing for me now, register a film production company. In anyone's name, it doesn't matter who is unknown. The only requirement is that it cannot be related to Mystic89. ”
When Shi Zhenqiu was discussing with Kong Liu and the others just now, Enhao was next to him, so he knew what was going on.
Shi Zhenqiu's approach is obviously to produce and distribute "The Crucible" in the name of a new production company.
"Director, he won't blame you, right?"
In his opinion, with the friendship between Shi Zhenqiu and Yin Zhongxin, even if "The Melting Pot" is produced and released in the name of Mystic89, Yin Zhongxin will have an opinion.
Shi Zhenqiu shook his head, knowing that Eun Hao didn't understand the seriousness.
"Forget it, Brother Zhong Xin has worked hard for so many years, and finally founded a company, so let's not toss his hard work. ”
Yoon Jong-shin obviously gambled the rest of his life on this company, and the last time Son Ye-jin's incident made Shi Zhenqiu feel the importance he attaches to this company.
So now in this matter, Shi Zhenqiu has become extremely cautious.
After all, compared with Son Ye-jin's matter, the impact of "The Melting Pot" will be very huge.
It is true that Shi Zhenqiu has enthusiasm, but he is not a person who fights for other people's careers.
After instructing Eun Hao, Shi Zhenqiu didn't tell anyone, and secretly drove to a place alone.
