"Zhong Ming, on the side of the Federation of Filmmakers, many people feel that your behavior has made a very bad start, allowing political groups to publicly brush the box office, which is very harmful to the fairness of the Korean film market. ”

"One gain and one loss, today the conservatives brushed, tomorrow the dish cooking pie can also be brushed, and the right wing can also brush the left wing after brushing. And it's not just political groups, any civic group can come to the box office, women's rights groups can come to the box office of feminist films, and trade union members can come to the box office of movies that depict class oppression. ”

"This ......"

"I'll admit that this is not a good opening, but it is not a bad thing, at least it further develops the potential of the Korean film market, which has reached its limit...... Isn't that right?"

"It's true that there are some crooked reasons...... But that's true, but this time there are indeed many people who will be dissatisfied with this. ”

"I know this, the initiator, although this kind of thing will happen sooner or later, but the first person to do such a controversial thing is destined to bear criticism, which is very ...... for me who has been trying to bow my head and brush up on social prestige for many years Rare. ”

"It's not just a controversy, because this time it was a matter done by the Blue House, so it has a very bad impact on Zhong Ming's personal reputation, although many people didn't say it directly, they should think that you are too flattering...... In order to help the president do this kind of thing, he even gave up the box office record of the movie that he valued so much before, and it has only been a month!

"Why don't they say I'm so good and don't care about these false names?"

“……”

“……”

"Forget it, I understand your difficulties, anyway, you just know in your heart. ”

"I'll send the teacher. After some struggle, Jin Zhongming finally took a long breath, and then quickly stood up and sent An Shengji away.

That's right, that's it, when the aunt let go of her hands and feet to make a big news in Korean society, everything was going according to the rhythm of the previous expectation...... The box office of movies is growing rapidly, and the guidance of public opinion is constantly deflecting and shaking with the rapid growth of the box office. As for the public opinion within the film industry, as Jin Zhongming and Zheng Hucheng guessed, there is basically no opposition on the surface, and there are not many people who have a lot of complaints secretly, but there are still a few core figures who secretly and resolutely express their attitudes.

Among them, it goes without saying that Song Da Cake, a die-hard fan of Roh Moo-hyun, has basically been out of contact since New Year's Day; and then Choi Min-sik, although it was difficult to get out because he had to cooperate with the post-production of "Ming Liang", also called to clearly express his dissatisfaction; finally, Ahn Sung-ki also specially represented some people with great weight and qualifications to come and wake up.

Of course, just the words of these expected people, Jin Zhongming can still barely cope with it. After all, changes in people's hearts are not necessarily written on the surface, but more imperceptibly, and only a few people who are strong in their hearts or have enough strength to rely on are qualified to express them directly.

But at the same time, Kim Jong Ming also knows better than anyone else that he now relies on the power he uses to suppress his voice, whether it is from the fox and the fake tiger of the Blue House, or from his own hands, it is not something that the golden sun never sets...... This is because power is the human heart, and this kind of power that shakes people's hearts, once it is unleashed, will itself corrode power.

Therefore, after the Spring Festival, Jin Zhongming just wants this matter to pass as soon as possible.

And then it really passed, and everything was okay, all the well. And when winter turns to spring and the weather gets warmer, the restlessness in the previous winter seems to have been completely forgotten.

At the same time, I don't know what kind of psychology it is, it may indeed be that there is nothing to do, or it may be that the cat wants to come out and move its muscles and bones in winter, or it may just be impatient to get rid of the influence of that bad thing in winter...... In short, since the arrival of spring, Jin Zhongming has begun to frequently participate in some public or semi-public activities.

For example, at the beginning of March, he held a birthday party for Chu Long in the company with great fanfare, which was regarded as piercing some of the window paper that already had holes, and in mid-March, he participated in "You from the Stars" The TV series, which ended at the end of February, was a great success, with unnatural ratings on the Internet, and what was even more terrifying was its phenomenal success in China, and in late March, he went to Thailand with the family concert of Cube Company, which was regarded as a distraction, and soon after returning to South Korea, he soon received an unexpected invitation......

"What is this?" In the office, Jin Zhongming raised his head a little dazedly.

"Wedding invitations. Zhang Minya stood there with her hands tied, smiling like a flower, but her expression was a little nervous. "I'm getting married, next week. ”

"I guess it's also a wedding invitation. Jin Zhongming was still confused. "It stands to reason that I should have said congratulations first, but I really don't know who you're dating Sister Minya, right? Could it be that you were forced to marry by your family when you were old, and it was a so-called speed dating marriage?"

"Not really. Zhang Minya lowered her head and smiled. "I've been dating this guy for a long time, even longer than I've known you, but for some reason, we've been underground, and now we feel that it's too late to give each other an explanation if we don't get married, so we decided to have a beautiful wedding. ”

"Really?" this message made Jin Zhongming, who was about to open the invitation, both surprised and relieved.

Surprised, naturally surprised that the other party hid the relationship so well, and relieved that this kind of sudden life event is also common now, for example, Cui Zhenhao, the current CEO of Cube, he was originally going not to get married for the rest of his life, but as he grew older, he finally decided to give his live-in girlfriend an explanation, and then stepped into the palace of marriage...... However, when Kim Jong-ming actually opened the invitation, this relief disappeared immediately, and was replaced by a complete consternation.

Of course, he was shocked! Because he actually knew Zhang Minya's marriage partner, and he was very familiar, very familiar. In fact, this man is also part of his team of former agents.

This seems to be a good thing, but how can I say it? The combination of these two people is undoubtedly contrary to mainstream morality, and it is no wonder that Zhang Minya has always given people the feeling of a man's wife all these years.

"South Korean law should not allow it, right?" Kim Jong-ming looked at the two names of the invitation, and inevitably felt a little numb. "Does the family know?"

"I told them a long time ago. Zhang Minya replied with some embarrassment. "But they weren't very supportive, and I hadn't spoken to my father for a long time...... As for the legal issues, in fact, this is also a wedding, as I said, it is just a ceremony to give each other an explanation, just don't want to hide it anymore. ”

"I see!" Jin Zhongming suddenly exhaled. "The so-called 'scenery and scenery'...... Actually, do you want to make it clear?"

"Yes. ”

"How many people were invited?"

"There aren't many people in my family who are willing to come, and I don't have many friends, mainly from the company, so I don't know how much to invite, so I just follow the invitation card under the list of people invited by President Choi when he got married. ”

"That's a lot, where?"

"...... in Yeongdeungpo-gu"

"Okay?" Suddenly, Jin Zhongming abruptly interrupted the still harmonious conversation between the two. "Last time, Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon announced that he supported the legalization of same-sex marriage, but the next day there was something strange about the pastor of the sect who went to Gwanghwamun Gate to play (harmony) burning, and then in September last year, Kim Cho Kwang-so and his male companion held a wedding, and in the middle of the wedding, there were priests who poured dung on themselves and ran up to make a scene, and then there were monks ......"

"I'm mentally prepared for this. Zhang Minya interrupted the other party very calmly, very good, this is very Zhang Minya.

As for Hyun-eun...... That's right, Jang Min-ah's marriage partner is none other than Yoo Hyun-eun, who was recommended by her to manage Kim Jong-myeong's fan club. Although she does not have a strong sense of existence, she is indeed a member of Jin Zhongming's former agent team, and she joined too early and is old enough. So later, after Kim Jong-ming gradually got rid of the shackles of fans, she also held a middle-level management position in CUBE company...... But that's not the point, the point is that both of them are women, so they're standard same-sex marriages.

And the question of comrades is very troublesome in South Korea.

"It's not a question of being prepared or not being prepared. Jin Zhongming was a little helpless. "It would be embarrassing if something like that really happened, our company is an entertainment company, and it will cause media and social effects. ”

"Actually, Zhong Ming, I won't hide it from you. Zhang Minya bowed her head and said. "I've been hiding it all these years, and I've had enough, holding a wedding at this time is just for the sake of comrades......"

"Is there any explanation?" Jin Zhongming lay back in a bit of a breakdown, and then looked at the ceiling above him.

"It's director Kim Cho Kwang-so that you just mentioned. Zhang Minya is still very calm. "Everyone in the gay circle knows that he is going to apply for a marriage certificate from the court next month, which is a great opportunity for all Korean comrades. ”

"So you hope to hold a public wedding at this time to show solidarity with each other?" Kim Jong-ming finally understood the cause and effect. "It's just that this is obviously going to be a dilemma for the company. ”

"I ......" Zhang Minya wanted to speak and stopped.

"Sister Minya, you and I have been together for so long, and you and I are the only ones here, so I will say some things directly...... Up and down the company, except for a few extreme conservatives, most of the management and artists who received the invitation should give you face. But giving face to face does not mean that they support this kind of thing in their hearts, after all, the object of their face is the company's core senior Zhang Minya, not the lesbian Zhang Minya. At this point, Jin Zhongming paused slightly. "Actually, among the people who go, it is already very enlightened to be able to maintain an attitude of not supporting or opposing like me, and if you really let them know that you are going to take the opportunity to build momentum for your comrades, then I am afraid that the vast majority of people will be disgusted. ”

"So, I'm coming for you. also paused, but Zhang Minya still did not give up.

Jin Zhongming laughed dryly and didn't answer.

"Hyun-eun and I will choose to resign after our wedding. Zhang Minya continued, but it was already a little difficult in her words.

"What do you mean?" Jin Zhongming suddenly lost his temper.

That's what it means literally. After saying this, Zhang Minya seemed a lot more relaxed. "Zhong Ming, I know that doing this will inevitably lead to the suspicion of taking advantage of your trust in me and Xian'en, and even more with the intention of using your position to kidnap the company...... Actually, I don't want to deny it. But how to put it? I still can't give up this opportunity, and I'm even willing to pay the price for it. ”

"Is it worth it, is it worth it?" Jin Zhongming felt a little short of breath. "What is Zhao Jinguangxiu, do you really think that he can make any flowers as a young director? The time has not come! This kind of thing needs time to hone people's concepts. The time has not yet come, and it is not impossible to do so, but there must be political elections to warm up, and then there must be a bigwig of the level of Park Won-soon who will officially take the position and be willing to continue to endorse it, and finally there must be comrades at home and abroad to organize a large-scale campaign...... Only by doing so can we push the matter to the Constitutional Court and hold a vote with a low probability of success!"

"I know what you're saying. Zhang Minya tilted her head and stared at the other party and replied. "But Zhong Ming, I really can't stand your sister Minya anymore, I just want to enjoy my private life under the sun...... You all threw a birthday party for Chu Long in the company, and then took a ring off her neck and put it on her hand, saying that some things are more beautiful in the sun, why can't I?"

"Blame, blame me?" Kim Jongming was dumbfounded.

"Only by sacrificing more ambitions dare to change the sun and the moon into a new sky. Zhang Minya raised her eyes and looked at the other party again, and at this moment she seemed to have become a comrade in another sense. "I know that the probability of success is low, and the effect of solidarity will not be great, but the path is my own choice. What you're going to do now is actually the same as when you were still at YG many years ago, just say yes or no's to my plan, there's no need to dig into it. ”

"Your character has really never changed!" After a long pause, Jin Zhongming could only say so. "But my personality hasn't changed...... I would like to mention a few conditions. ”

"You say. ”

"First, don't be in Seoul, go to Hawaii for a wedding, I'll pay for it. Jin Zhongming said helplessly. "Don't get me wrong, I just don't want to meet someone who my head at the wedding...... Don't laugh, Korean religious maniacs would do that, you don't want to be so unhappy, right?"

"That's fine, but in that case, I'll arrange the media and reporters in advance. ”

"Whatever. Jin Zhongming continued. "And then number two, you have to tell all the guests in advance about the presence of the journalist and the purpose of the campaign, so that they can come and go freely...... I want to respect you, but I also have to respect them, and so do you!"

Zhang Minya was silent for a while, but finally nodded: "Yes." What else?"

"No, let's go!" Jin Zhongming waved his hand weakly. "No matter what others do, Chu Long and I will definitely go when the time comes. ”

"That's good. Zhang Minya breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.

For a while, only Jin Zhongming was left silent in the office to a pale white wedding card on the table.

However, this silence did not last long, and only a few minutes later, Choi Jin-ho knocked on the door and came in with the same wedding card as expected.

"I'll start with that. Without waiting for the other party to speak, Jin Zhongming raised his hand to stop the other party's intention to speak. "First of all, I know about it, secondly, I will go, and third, whether you go or not, it will not make any difference. All right...... You say!"

"It will make the outside world label our company unnecessarily. Cui Zhenhao replied without hesitation. "Zhang Minya is the core senior management of the company, the kind that holds the real power of daily work, few people in the company really dare to refuse her, and once the entire company's senior management sends blessings to them in front of reporters, it will inevitably be considered by the outside world to be the company's attitude!"

"So what?"

"Representative!" Cui Zhenhao said bitterly. "After all, this kind of thing is not mainstream in Korean society, and even more hostile in detail! It's hard to say it in front of her just now, but in fact, if she is really allowed to do this, I don't know if it can play a social role, but I am sure that this will definitely attract the hostility of conservatives and religious factions for the company!"

"And then?" said Kim Jong-ming, looking a little impatient. "Tell me now, aside from the company's position, from your original intention, will you go?"

Cui Zhenhao sighed a little helplessly: "Aside from the company's position, after all, I have been a colleague for many years, and I cooperate very well at work on weekdays, so although I don't support it, I should also keep a peaceful mind and send blessings...... Just a representative, as the president of the company, how can I put aside the company's position?"

"I said I can put it aside!" replied Jin Zhongming angrily. "Old Cui, I don't want to talk to you loudly and then attract unnecessary suspicion...... But when it comes to the company's position, is it up to you to decide on this company, or do I have the final say?"

Choi Jin-ho was speechless.

"Don't talk about the company's position, have you considered your personal position?" At this moment, the door behind Cui Zhenhao was suddenly pushed open again, and then another person with an invitation in his hand appeared in the office.

"Teacher. Jin Zhongming reluctantly owed a debt, and greeted An Shengji, who happened to be in the company.

"Zhong Ming. An Shengji shook the invitation card in his hand and sat down on the sofa beside him unceremoniously. "I have no position to intervene in the company's affairs, I came here for you. ”

You say. Jin Zhongming turned sideways and spread his hands helplessly.

"Tell me the truth, what are you going to do about this?"

"First of all, regardless of personal concepts, my main agent is married, and there is no reason not to go. Jin Zhongming replied calmly. "Then I will also send the matching real estate and stocks, as was the practice of the previous assistants...... Among them, Sister Min Ya is the main agent, and there may be more. ”

"But more of yours will make people murmur about you. An Shengji sincerely persuaded. "It's better to send it privately. ”

"Sister Minya made a request to me. Jin Zhongming replied dryly. "You should know when you receive the invitation, she held the wedding in order to promote and encourage the legalization of same-sex marriage, and then called the media, and it doesn't make sense to send it privately......"

But that will make people uneasy about your position. An Shengji couldn't help but sigh. "Zhong Ming, power comes from the hearts of the people, I have just experienced the kind of thing in the "International Market", and then there is a storm of supporting comrades, which will shake the hearts of many people in the committee, and even some professional politicians and social figures will openly deviate from our ......"

"Teacher. Even in the face of An Shengji, Kim Jong Ming finally got impatient. "Look at the clothes we have...... He and I are in suits, you are zip-uppers, and no one is wearing ancient official uniforms, so let's not be in an ancient official fighting drama! Of course, I know that power is the hearts of the people, and I also know that I do play the role of a power ruler, and I also know that participating in this kind of thing, which the vast majority of people do not approve of, and many people will even resent it, will lead to the dispersion of people's hearts and the instability of power! I don't even know what to throw dung and self-(harmonious) burning?"

"Since you're ......"

"But teacher!" An Shengji just wanted to speak again, but was interrupted by Jin Zhongming very rudely. Sister Minya is the main agent I relied on as soon as I debuted, and Sister Xian'en was also one of the assistants who followed me at that time, and they are now begging for me, and they even took the initiative to resign after the wedding...... What do you want me to do? I really don't care? If I do, will you people be relieved of me? Will having a student or boss who doesn't recognize you make you more comfortable?!"

These words seemed a little prickly, An Shengji, who was sitting, and Cui Zhenhao, who was standing, glanced at each other, and it was inevitable that Qiqi's momentum would drop sharply.

"Actually, whether it is a costume palace drama or an urban shopping mall drama, you have to pay attention to trade-offs. Jin Zhongming also seemed to feel that his words were a little more intense, so his tone was a lot calmer. "And more trade-offs are not calculable, because some opposing things are often cross-border and incompatible. Power and Friendship, Money and Love, Morality and Health...... There are some things that you can't see how they are related, but you just need to make a trade-off between them, and the reality is often more eerie than Guldan's green drink. At this time, it is meaningless to simply discuss the gains and losses from a certain angle, because you are the only one who really knows the gains and losses. ”

At this point, Jin Zhongming paused again, and further adjusted and softened his tone: "Now this is the case, let's speak in conscience, there is no problem with what the teacher and Lao Cui said, aside from personal feelings, Sister Min Ya is indeed this time, because of her private affairs, the reputation of our company and the stability of the power of the committee will have some losses." However, isn't it impossible to put aside personal feelings? Sister Minya's posture is obvious, in order to make me agree to this matter as much as possible, she is going to leave after the wedding, and I am not ready to stay, so from a personal point of view, I just want to give her an explanation!"

Ahn Sung-ji and Cui Zhenhao glanced at each other again, but they both wanted to say nothing.

"Anyway, that's what I do. Jin Zhongming finally said frankly. "For me this time, the weight of personal feelings is indeed a little heavier than some things. As for the loss of the company's reputation and the dispersion of power in the committee...... I think it's within my acceptable range. ”

"Then I have nothing to say. Ahn shook his head, then stood up with a hula, but did not pick up the wedding invitation he had put aside. "But I'll be honest with you, and that's from my point of view, I'm not going to be here anyway...... It's too hard to accept. ”

Jin Zhongming did not answer, but nodded hastily and messily.
