Chapter 043 Enlightenment (II)
As soon as the other party said this, Jin Zhongming immediately figured it out with a little embarrassment, feeling that his own "Lao Qian" was also produced by CJ, and the six or seven million moviegoers were squeezed out by CJ with all his might, so how could there be any other space for "The Fool"? And it seems that CJ is also responsible for the distribution of "Gorgeous Vacation", a movie with seven or eight million viewers, and it was also stretched out by himself. In other words, just the two works I participated in pressed people's "Fools" in the refrigerator for half a year from the side!
"Then why did the author and director of this comic strip have a conflict with the producer?" Kim Jong-ming tilted his head and thought for a few seconds, deciding to wisely ignore words such as occupying resources, and instead extracted the main contradiction.
"Because of the plot!" the head of the room opposite continued to drink tea and sell Guanzi slowly. "You can go to the movies for the specific situation, and you'll understand after watching it. ”
"Then I know!" Jin Zhongming looked at the other party's expression of 'come and ask me, ask me sincerely, I'll tell you' and decided not to deal with this Huang Director anymore, anyway, the premiere is the day after tomorrow, I can't bear two days of hard work?
"This is leaving?" The head of the room was a little panicked when he saw Jin Zhongming nodding and leaving. "I'll tell you the truth"
"I'd better go to the movies!" replied without replying, and then disappeared directly at the door.
"I didn't expect you to come!" two days later. That is, on the afternoon of January 9, Kim Jong-ming took Cui Xueli to the Lotte Cinema as agreed, and his appearance directly surprised Cha Tae-hyun.
"I'm very curious about this movie!" Kim Jong-ming replied very seriously. "Brother Taehyun must tell me when the feature film will be released?"
"Six-ten!" Cha Tae-hyun replied awkwardly.
"Great!" replied Kim Jong-ming excitedly. "I've been holding it for two days. I couldn't help but read the comics, so I just waited to see this movie!"
"What do you say about this attitude?" Cha Tae-hyun replied speechlessly, holding his chin. "I don't know whether to be happy or unhappy. ”
"Brother Taehyun, wait a minute!" Jin Zhongming suddenly reacted. "Your press conference is only ten minutes?"
"There's a ghost press conference!" Cha Tae-hyun laughed out loud on the spot. "Where did the press conference of a literary film that has been refrigerated for two years come from? Not to mention how many reporters there are, even if the reporter wants to ask, he doesn't know what to ask! In the past ten minutes, I am afraid that fans of me and Jiwon will come, so let the two of us go and say hello. ”
"I see, but what is the matter with this premiere?" asked Kim Jong Ming in surprise. "There is no press conference, no reporters, and no stars, why do you have to hold a premiere?"
"I have to tell someone about the movie!" Cha Tae-hyun replied helplessly.
"Looks like Shirley is going to be disappointed. Jin Zhongming smashed his mouth. Then he looked at Cui Xueli, who was obviously pouting at hand. "Blind, you still look so good on such a cold day. ”
"Oh, it's the little girl who filmed with me at the beginning, the one who played my sister. Cha Tae-hyun tilted his head and glanced at it, and actually let him recognize it. "It's good to be here. It's good to come, it's like the crew is reunited, so you two know each other?"
"Ah, yes. That's what. Shirley, go with your brother!" Jin Zhongming pushed Cui Xueli, who was obviously a little lost. Pushed her to Cha Tae-hyun's side. "Your crew is reunited, I'll go buy a ticket. ”
"Come on!" Cha Taehyun stopped Kim Jong-myeong's movements speechlessly. "You're all here, and you're still going to buy tickets, and you're the only one who came tonight to cheer. What's that, let's all hurry in, it's not interesting to stay out so cold. ”
Walking into this theater, sure enough, just as Cha Tae-hyun said, only some fans of him and Ha Ji Hyun made a special trip to the audience, and there were only three reporters, and this is still the kind of reporter who has been in contact with Ha Ji Won and Cha Tae-hyun all year round. As for CJ, there was simply only one deputy minister. How shabby and shabby this noodle is.
So Kim Jong Ming greeted them one by one as soon as he entered, and then stuffed Choi Shirley to Ha Ji Won, and then ran to a suitable corner with a large bucket of popcorn by himself to prepare to watch a movie!
The movie started quickly, and Kim Jong Myung immediately fell into it.
The story is so ordinary that it can happen in any town. In our neighborhood, there lives a fool.
Ha Ji Won plays Ji Ho, a promising pianist who has studied abroad for many years, and she has never been able to return to her old form after her performance malfunctioned in a performance. Lost, she returns to the place where she grew up as a child, and is surprised to find that her childhood classmate Seung-ryong (that is, the fool played by Cha Tae-hyun) has the IQ of a 6-year-old child at the age of 27 due to an accident. Seung-ryong becomes very forgetful after the accident, but he clearly remembers Ji-ho, who he had a crush on when he was a student.
So, an old-fashioned love route began. Cha Tae-hyun continues to sell good-natured, ugly and ugly, playing a pure fool, while Ha Ji-won continues the beauty route, playing a returnee pianist Baek Cong-mi. The love story between the two is plain but touching.
As the plot progresses, the male number two and the female number two gradually become brilliant. Female No. 2, that is, Cui Xueli played the fool's sister in her childhood, and again and again because of face, she pretended not to know this foolish brother who raised herself by working hard to make sandwiches, and the meaning of her existence lies in torturing family affection and questioning conscience again and again, but the relationship between blood and water is destined to make her accept her brother.
And the male number two, that is, the gangster who runs a bar but has a good relationship with fools, his significance lies in introducing plot contradictions and increasing conflict and drama.
In fact, the follow-up development is also as Jin Zhongming expected, as the male number two involves the fool in the gang fight, the plot takes a sharp turn, the friend is hunted down, the first love is leaving, and the sister is also sick. Correspondingly, the fool must stand up at this time, and in a cruel way.
So, everything ends up in the eighty-seventh minute of the movie. From this moment on, the fool no longer has to worry about his sister's illness, his friend's troubles, and his first love, because everything is 'solved' by him.
"It's too early!" Kim Jong Ming muttered to himself. "I think it's been deleted. ”
Sure enough, the movie ended at the 104th minute, which is not embarrassing or embarrassing.
And at this moment, Kim Jong-myung has completely understood that the reason why this movie has been shelved for so long is not only because of the pressure of CJ Group's film scheduling, but also because of the plot. Specifically, this movie is too cruel! The female protagonist and the male protagonist are not together, the fool has not survived, and the sister has not had time to accept his brother while he is alive.
So the question is, what will be the result of a movie where good people don't get good rewards or even good feelings can't get good returns? You can give this movie a high score, but it is impossible to expect a breakthrough at the box office, although it will not be impossible to recover the cost, but if you want to spend a million, you have to watch the sky!
Judging from the fact that the movie is 104 minutes long, and the fool was shot to death in the 80th minute, the director and the original author must have reached a considerable compromise with the producer to get the movie released.
"What does Mr. Kim Jong-myung think of this movie?" The deputy minister of CJ waited for the movie to end and immediately found Kim Jong-myung, in his opinion, this actor, who has collaborated with CJ on two movies and has more than 7 million viewers, should have a common topic with him.
Ha Ji Won and Cha Tae-hyun went to see off their die-hard fans, and the three reporters also followed, and only a few actors, directors, screenwriters and others remained in the theater, so his question immediately attracted the attention of these people.
"How so?" Kim Jong-myung glanced at CJ's deputy minister. "Fools die well. ”
"Yes, yes?" the deputy minister was immediately embarrassed.
"Also, after this incident, I have some bad opinions about CJ. Kim Jong-ming ignored his reaction, but preached on his own. "No matter how big the film company is, it should respect the personality of the filmmaker, how much content have you deleted?"
The deputy minister immediately stopped talking, but it was clear that Kim Jong-ming was not prepared to let him go like that.
"And you people have to wait until someone else makes a movie to say this can't do that can't do it?" Kim Jong Ming continued to sneer. "If it doesn't work, don't buy other people's comics in the first place, and don't hire this director, what's going on? What a movie? It's ruined by you! Can you get a million moviegoers?"
"Mr. Kim Jong-myeong, we CJ" The vice minister couldn't hold back anymore when he heard this, and he was about to use CJ to suppress people.
"What's wrong with you CJ?" Kim Jong Ming asked, turning his head. "Am I afraid of you CJ? Do you control all of Korea's films? Can't you make movies without me? There are no less than eight film companies that are your equals in Korea! When is your CJ qualified not to allow others to comment on your films?"
"Mr. Jin Zhongming, don't button your hat indiscriminately, I didn't say it's not allowed"
"Then what nonsense are you talking about here?" Jin Zhongming scolded with an eyebrow raised. "Didn't you come and ask me what I thought of this movie?
"Bang bang!" Just when the deputy minister's face was blue and white, and most of the crew was at a loss, a fat man who was sitting not far away with an extremely ugly appearance applauded excitedly. "Mr. Jin Zhongming said it well. ”
Of course, Mr. Ginger Cao will think I am right. Jin Zhongming immediately changed a slightly flattering smile towards this ugly fat man. "Because I originally said this for Mr. Jiang Cao, how about it? Did Mr. Jiang Cao increase his opinion of me by 20 points because of this?"
