On the afternoon of December 20, in the autumn rain in Seoul, South Korea, a few neatly dressed people were drinking coffee in a café on Chungmuro. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In other words, this group of people is not simple, almost every one of them can be called a big man in Chungmuro, and they belong to the kind of people who can really shake the Korean film industry. Not to mention anything else, the waiter recognized Li Bingxian at a glance. However, even with Lee Byung-hun's status, he can only sit on the periphery of this large round table, and he smiles a little at everyone else...... However, if they looked closely, the waiters were quickly relieved, because they immediately recognized who the big-backed man who was sitting firmly in the middle - the great director Li Cangdong. With this person's qualifications, status, and age, there are very few people in South Korea who can keep him from sitting on the throne.

However, as time passed, whether it was Li Cangdong, Li Bingxian, or the remaining middle-aged people and old men, they gradually became a little anxious and irritable.

"Why haven't you come yet?" Choi Hee-kyu, president of the Korean Film Writers Association, was the first to hold back.

"You can't want to dry us again, do you?" Responding to Choi Hee-kyu was Han Jae-yi, the president of the Korea Film Technology Team Association. "It was like this before, didn't you say at the Big Bell Awards dinner that you would consider giving us an answer right away? The words are good, but it turned out that within two days of others running away, and it took nearly two months to run...... That's why we're so passive now! ”

"Hey, it's understandable that Zhong Ming left like that at the beginning." Next to him was Lee Jae-bin, who came on behalf of the Korean Filmmakers Association. At least his move to avoid the Blue Dragon Award is still very generous, otherwise Zheng Zaiyong will be embarrassed, in fact, the Blue Dragon Award Organizing Committee is grateful to him. What's more, people are also doing serious business in China, needless to say Bona's share swap ceremony, the record-breaking film "Let the Bullets Fly" also has a share in ......"

"Director Li, don't say such things." Cui Xikui was already a little indignant. "We are not unreasonable people, of course we can accept him giving up the Blue Dragon Award, and we will admit it if we want to do business. But the Blue Dragon Award is at the end of November, and the premiere of "Let the Bullets Fly" has also been held on December 6, where are the others for most of the next half a month? Isn't it deliberately avoiding us? We people can't wait left and right, and we still refuse to answer the phone, and in the end, we really have no way to start it in advance, otherwise we can make Zheng Renye jump until now?! ”

Li Zaibin immediately looked up at the ceiling, Lao Tzu came to make soy sauce, and the ghost took it!

"At the end of the day." Jung Jin-joo, chairman of the Korean Film Promotion Committee, finally spoke. "It's still our lack of strength, the nine associations have worked together, but we still let Zheng Renye's cunning guy last until now......"

"What are the Nine Great Associations?" Han Jae-yi sneered. "It's said that the Nine Associations are the one who pours him Zheng Renye, but in fact, only the Directors Association leads our Screenwriters Association and the Technical Association to help you...... The rest of us are waiting for the real person to speak! ”

While speaking, Han Jae-yi did not shy away from looking at Lee Byung-hun, but the new president of the Korean Actors Association, Lee Daye-i, was quite self-conscious, only to see him laugh dryly, and then Yi Yiran picked up the coffee, and by the way, he twisted his head out of the window...... Anyway, I don't take this stubble.

"Ahem, in fact, it is understandable that An Shengji's predecessors are reluctant to meddle in this matter." Zheng Jinzhou also had a headache when he looked at Li Bingxian, who was not in the oil and salt, of course he knew whose will Li Bingxian was adhering to, and he couldn't work in this half month. In other words, the major Korean film associations want to join forces to bring down Jung In-yeol, the president of the Korean Film Association, but the actors are watching the fire from the other side, which is simply a joke! In fact, it was the different attitudes of the nine associations that gave Zheng Renye the confidence to fight back, and let the old man bite him Zheng Jinzhou to death in turn.

"yes." Hearing Han Jinzhou's words come to Ahn Sung-ki, Cui Xikui also hurriedly came out to play the round. "Senior An Shengji is preparing a movie, so we don't need to bother......"

"That's it!" Li Cangdong, who had been sitting in the top position with an expressionless face, suddenly spoke at this time. "Don't talk this nonsense. Zhong Ming is not an unparticular person, since he agreed to come to see us, he will not not come. It is estimated that the torrential rain just now interrupted his trip, so don't call to urge, just wait. Besides, the reality of most of the previous half a month has clearly told us that it still takes someone else's help to get Zheng Renye down, since you have to rely on others, why gossip behind your back? ”

Li Cangdong served as Minister of Culture in 03 years, and was awarded the French Knight Medal in 06 years, and now "Poetry" is killing people in the world, plus this is actually the successor of the Directors Association who was handpicked by Lin Quanze...... Therefore, under the accumulation of power, no matter who it was, they all honestly closed their mouths after hearing him speak, and even Li Bingxian didn't look out the window.

In this way, seeing the clock on the wall walking slowly, nearly twenty minutes had passed since the time Jin Zhongming had made an appointment with him, that is, three o'clock in the afternoon, and Li Cangdong's mind began to turn back and forth.

I think that at the beginning, as a rookie with no governing experience, I was elected as the Minister of Culture by the cultural circles. At the beginning, I was really confident and ready to do something with the support of the cultural community. However, firstly, he really had no experience in governance, and secondly, the official did this only to win over the Korean cultural circles at that time, and he did not really use his own meaning at all, and several vice ministers (deputy ministers) took care of all affairs...... In the end, he only worked for 16 months before he stepped down.

However, the 16 months of experience in South Korea's top officialdom did not come in vain, although he did not expand his horizons, since then, Li Cangdong has found that his observation of people's hearts and the angle of looking at things do have an extra layer of understanding. There are some things behind it, when I was a writer and a director before, I wouldn't have thought about it anyway. And now, those things seem to be clearly attached to people, and you can see through them at a glance.

Let's take the situation at hand. Zheng Jinzhou seemed to want to leave a way out for himself after the general election, so he fell in love with the position of president of the association, and then he used his position to take out public funds from the Film Promotion Committee to buy the nine associations with benefits.

And what about that Jung In-yeol? It was indeed a little too greedy before, plus that guy had been working for too long, and it slowly became a climate, and he really regarded the Nine Great Associations as his subordinates, and what was even more terrifying was that this guy was still in love with him when he was about to retire. In this case, Korean filmmakers generally dislike him, and the general environment of Zheng In-yeol has actually been formed. Therefore, the two presidents in front of him and the directors association behind him will stand firm, and even complain that Kim Jong-ming does not pay attention to the overall situation.

However, putting aside the pressure exerted on him by the group of poor independent film directors and art film directors in the Directors Guild, Li Cangdong couldn't help but think about another question, that is, what does Jin Zhongming, who has become a climate, think about this Erzheng dispute?

He is only in his twenties, does he really hate that Zheng Renye, who is in his sixties, is more than Zheng Jinzhou, who is fifty years old? Age is a good thing to speculate on people's hearts.

While pondering, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the café, and Li Cangdong opened his eyes to see that it was indeed Jin Zhongming, but the other party's appearance seemed to be a little miserable......

"Don't move!" Kim Jong Ming slapped Baker the head. "I told you not to move, people are here to help you clean up, but you dump people with water!"

Baker, who had a monkey face, snorted, and then took half a step back with a slight grievance, and it couldn't help shaking its body in the rain...... This is nature, then everyone has said, nature cannot be taken away!

However, in the face of his master's obscenity, Baker finally surrendered his instincts honestly, and then crouched down and let the waiter come and wipe the water off his body.

"Thank you!" Jin Zhongming smiled and thanked the waiters who took the initiative to help. "It's still moulting, so let it squat at the door, and if something calls me, I'll take care of it...... Uh, and by the way, get me a hot latte with milk. ”

With that, Jin Zhongming put down the glorious shovel bag, and then walked to the big table where he was the only one with a wet basketball.

"Seniors, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Kim Jong-ming threw the basketball under the table. "It's too late, it's rude, seniors Haihan."

As he spoke, he twisted the hat of his sports jacket that he had just taken off, and saw the rain squeezing out......

At this moment, no matter how angry people are, they can't speak.

"Original...... Zhong Ming: Did you walk the dog or play basketball before? Looking back at the suits and leather shoes of a group of people here, Li Cangdong also felt that the painting style was a little wrong, but he couldn't speak, people in their twenties, how to walk the dog? How about playing basketball? It's not that all of you people are unproductive, and this age is mixed up with this?

"I'm really sorry for you guys this time." Jin Zhongming sat down calmly. "Baker was moulting and needed to run out every day, and it just so happened that Sika had been with him for so long and was so upset that I gave it to me as soon as I got back. Today's noon is like this, look at the time I think it's still early, I asked a few neighbors to go to the basketball court over there to play basketball, and at that time I was still thinking about the way, hit to half past two and then take the dog over, which is also a dog walk. Didn't think ......"

Then Jin Zhongming did not continue, but looked up at the rain line outside the window.

"Understandable." Han Zaiyi, who had been indignant before, nodded with emotion at this time. "It was overcast at noon, but there was no sign of rain...... It's really hard to get drenched like this and ask you to come over! ”

"yes." Lee Byung-hun also became active. "The rain just now was really too urgent, and no one will blame you for this."

"Your repeated apologies seem to be rude to us." Zheng Jinzhou, who had been frowning all the time just now, also smiled now.

And Li Zaibin, Cui Xikui and others nodded in agreement.

"In fact, what is even more rare is that Zhong Ming did not call a taxi, but insisted on walking over in the rain." Li Cangdong looked at the big white dog squatting at the door, and then opened his mouth as well. "Pets are allowed in Seoul taxis, but the dogs are moulting, so it's hard to clean up if you come by car. And this unknown choice is purely dependent on personal cultivation! ”

Everyone was stunned, but when you think about it, it is. It's raining, it's so dark, Jin Zhongming is wearing a hood again, and then leading the dog to carry a basketball, if he really gets into a taxi without saying a word, then he will come, and it is estimated that no one knows. But he was able to lead the dog alone in such a heavy rain...... This kind of decision-making, similar to that in a dark room, is indeed a reflection of a person's true level.

And I don't know what's going on, with Li Cangdong's casual compliment, these adults on the table are a little subtle, and their eyes at Jin Zhongming are more cautious.

"Hah!" Looking at the people on the table, Jin Zhongming chuckled. "It's just a trivial matter, it's not a matter of cultivation, Director Li praised it falsely, you don't dislike me for coming late, and you're already grateful to Dade...... So, it's raining, let's talk about something? ”

The table was quieter, Li Cangdong smiled and said nothing, Han Zaiyi and Cui Xikui began to pretend to be dead at all, they are not stupid, although it is a serious matter for them to kill Zheng Renye, but Zheng Jinzhou is here, no matter what, they don't need to speak. It's one thing to be in front of Zheng Jinzhou, but it's another thing to be in front of Kim Jong-ming, who has unknown intentions.

As for Lee Jae-bin and Lee Byung-hun, these two simply looked at Zheng Jinzhou, as if they wanted to urge him with their eyes.

"It's Zhong Ming." Zheng Jinzhou looked at Jin Zhongming, he also knew that he couldn't avoid this encounter, but he simply had the general environment of Zheng Renye, and with that Ms. Park supporting him, it was good to force the other party at this time. "About what was said at the last Big Bell Awards dinner...... You said you had to think about it, but then there was a series of situations, and I haven't received a reply from you, and our side really can't wait, so the nine associations started first...... So now what do you mean? ”

"Since you've all started...... Jin Zhongming took the hot coffee from the waiter, and he couldn't help but take a sip of it because he couldn't stand it. Then why ask me again? Aren't the major associations unanimous? ”

Li Zaibin couldn't help but bow his head and smile when he heard this, the group of businessmen in the producers association actually didn't care about this matter at all, and the directors association couldn't afford to offend everyone, so they naturally had to stand up and make a statement. But on the other hand, Kim Jong-ming's ambiguous attitude also made everyone only speak out, because everyone didn't want to offend Kim Jong-ming's business partner because of such an inconsequential matter.

"The question now is ......" Li Cangdong suddenly spoke, he was a little impatient with this matter, if it weren't for the position of the Directors Guild here, he would have gone home to watch the rain in a daze. Whether it's the Directors Guild, the Film Promotion Committee, or the major associations, everyone is out of their whack. And Zheng Renye is obviously about to retire, but he has to fall in love with the stack, which makes everyone tear their faces in the end...... In that case, Zhong Ming, you are back again, and we hope that you can take on the responsibilities within the Actors Guild and the Producers Guild......"

Li Cangdong's sudden statement caught everyone off guard. In the final analysis, what editorial associations and technical team associations in this 'Erzheng dispute' are all soy sauce, and the real power is nothing more than Zheng Jinzhou himself and the Directors Association. Especially the Directors Association, not to mention that the director is the general person in charge of a film, all filmmakers naturally have to be subservient to them, and more importantly, there are influential bigwigs like Li Cangdong and Lin Quanze everywhere in society, and they can cause waves by a single person, not to mention the current superposition state?

"Ah......" Jin Zhongming replied expressionlessly. I received exactly what Director Lee and the Directors Guild meant. ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Jin Zhongming's long-term ambiguous attitude was certainly a constraint, but how could it not be a burden? In the final analysis, Zheng Renye is indeed in the way of the vast majority of people, but there is no better replacement and leader to make him active until now, and now Zheng Jinzhou is willing to come forward, and he is also willing to give concessions to the actual interests of the major associations, which is actually really in line with everyone's wishes.

Even Li Zaibin, who is sitting here, even if he doesn't have any ideas, is willing to show his attitude and strength in order to sell well to most people.

From this point of view, Jin Zhongming's return to the mainstream seems to be a doomed thing, and Zheng Jinzhou dare to pull these people to force this palace.

"Let's be honest." Jin Zhongming looked around and understood everyone's thoughts. "I knew it from the beginning...... Zheng Renye is a little excessive, he is good for everyone...... It's the trend of the times. ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"But...... The reason why I have been reluctant to take a stand for a long time is actually a bit selfish. Jin Zhongming suddenly changed his words, and then reached out and patted Zheng Jinzhou's shoulder. To be honest, I've been climbing up the circle very quickly in the past few years, and most of the time I've been helped by my colleagues, so I always feel sensitive to some things...... Everyone said that Lao Zheng was doing the affairs of the revitalization committee and the general association alone, is the power too great? It's always unpleasant to have such a strong person on top of your head when the time comes, right? Young people are wild and a little selfish...... Let everyone laugh. ”

"That's not a problem." Li Bingxian held his chin and agreed. "If only Chairman Chung had the official power of the Revitalization Committee in one hand and the organizational power of the General Assembly in the other...... Some things can't be said well. Of course...... I can't believe Chairman Zheng when I say this, but the character of an actor is relatively free, and I always m......umble in my heart when I see such a thing."

"Bingxian and Zhong Ming are thinking too much." Cui Xikui chuckled beside him. "It is true that the president of the general meeting has always had no term limit, but the president of the revitalization committee is resigned to his fate, and he will be elected in 12 years...... Some things seem taken for granted, but they are not! ”

"yes." Han Jae-yi also laughed. "From this point of view, President Zheng has been working well with you in the past few years...... He retired for 12 years, and staying here at the club to exert his residual heat is also something that everyone is happy to see......"

"Really?" Jin Zhongming looked at Zheng Jinzhou, who was in a trance but didn't say a word, and nodded. "Maybe I'm thinking too much...... But ......"

"But what?" Li Zaibin sensed a little taste, but he hadn't figured it out yet.

"But...... I still want to hear the opinion of director Li Cangdong. Jin Zhongming looked at Li Cangdong. What I mean is pretty clear. But even so, I still respect the decisions of the directors even more...... If the Directors Guild has made up its mind, I am willing to change my mind for the sake of the directors. ”

This is clearly asking for the favor of the Directors Association, and it is also asking the Directors Association to endorse all Korean filmmakers for this action.

Li Cangdong hesitated for a moment, and for a moment he felt that Jin Zhongming was a little excessive, but a trace of doubt also surrounded him, that is, he really didn't understand why Jin Zhongming was so concerned about Zheng Jinzhou...... However, it doesn't matter, back to yourself, no matter what, the matter of Zheng Renye can't be stopped, otherwise the Directors Guild will become a joke. Moreover, those young directors who shoot independent films can't find any won from the cracks in the wall, even if Zheng Jinzhou is ambitious, then in the face of the funding he gave, the bigwigs of the directors association are actually difficult to ride!

"Zhong Ming!" Li Cangdong sat up straight solemnly. "This matter has been carefully studied by the members of the Directors Association, Zheng Renye must go, and President Zheng Jinzhou is a good candidate for the association."

"That's good." Jin Zhongming nodded. "Although I do not agree with the Directors Guild, I will support the decision of the Directors Guild."

Speaking of which, the matter has really been decided, and now, everyone is really relieved.

"Finally a matter of heart!" Han Jae-yi let out a long breath. "In that case...... I hope Zhong Ming can help as soon as possible, Zheng Renye's old guy is too bad! ”

"That's what Chairman Han said." Jin Zhongming nodded seriously. "I'll do it as soon as possible."

"That's good." Li Cangdong clapped his hands. "Let's disperse!"

The crowd responded, and after an afternoon of dry sitting, it was indeed time to disperse.

"Wait a moment." Jin Zhongming remained unmoved.

"Is there anything else Zhong Ming has to do?" Zheng Jinzhou's heart suddenly suddenly, almost instinctively feeling that something was wrong.

"I mean, since everyone wants me to express my stance as soon as possible, and I've been hiding from everyone for so long, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day." Jin Zhongming tilted his head and looked at Zheng Jinzhou, who stood up. "I've already made an appointment with President Zheng Renye, the time is set for 4 p.m., I'll let him get out today! How is it? In this way, Lao Zheng, you can be the president of the double tomorrow! ”

Most people's brains are like they're in a pulp, and they don't understand what's going on for a while. However, Li Cangdong had a lot of thoughts and figured out everything in an instant - Jin Zhongming had already expected this ending before he came, he had already had a backhand, and today's matter was not over!

Dozens of minutes later, Zheng Renye arrived as scheduled, and as soon as he came in, he was frightened by the formation in front of him, but what made him even more shocked was the first sentence that Kim Jong-ming spoke: "Chairman Zheng, the organization has been studied and decided, please resign from the position of president of the Korean Filmmakers Association, and go home and pick up the child with peace of mind!" You...... Do you want to recite two lines of poetry to express your thoughts at this moment? (To be continued.) )
