Chapter 043: Everyone is a Grasshopper (2-in-1)
Jin Zhongming's words actually almost pointed to his nose and said that the 11 leading actors of your 6 movies are all rubbish, and Lao Tzu is now going to fight ten except Zheng Zaiyong!
But unexpectedly, in the face of such an arrogant declaration or declaration of war, not only did no one jump like thunder, but no one even dared to calmly respond to the war! Two or three days have passed, but the entire Korean film industry has been quiet as if it had been silenced, and everyone seemed to be stunned by the guy who was standing in front of the pile of wood by the ridge and wiping his sweat. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Thereupon...... The goblin Korean media immediately analyzed one, two, three, four, five, and they came to the conclusion that Kim Jong-ming's words seemed to have a wide range of blows, and it seemed that he almost packed all the outstanding actors in South Korea together with his teacher, but in fact, there were not many target people involved.
First of all, Song Kanghao and Choi Min-sik knew that Kim Jong-ming didn't want to open his own stall, what he wanted was the seat vacated by his teacher after his teacher retired in two years, and he didn't come to himself at all. What's more, Song Dapan's ass is very crooked, thinking that a "Filial Son Cave Barber" was almost sprinkled with salt in Park Geun-hye's scar, and he is now ready to go home before the dust settles in Aunt Park 2012 to 'cultivate his life', where did he get the heart to yell at Kim Jong-ming here? As for Choi Dacang, this one has a hot temper, but everyone knows in their hearts that this one is sitting with Kim Jong-ming's ass......
Then counting down, Ha Jung-woo, Kim Yun-seok, and Hwang Jung-min have been taken out for a long time, and if you think about it carefully, Kim Jong-ming has saved face for these three people...... Uh, what about the trivial things before entering the barracks, I want to be honest like a little chick......; When you go out to swim, you can be regarded as a person who is in big news, where does the mind come from? As for you saying that Zheng Zaeyong? This is the only one who gives Kim Jong-ming a thumbs up......
So do the math, plus Kim Jong-myung's final name, it seems that these are the two movies that will be released soon, Lee Byung-hun, the actor of "Seeing the Devil", and Song Seung-heon, the star of "The Stateless", plus half of Zhu Jin-mo? These three people are pointed at their noses and humiliated......
So, the media took out the momentum of running to Gangwon Province to encircle Kim Jong-ming before, and they had to talk about their feelings. Then these three people are estimated to have been prepared for a long time, and they should have discussed it together, anyway, the three of them are very unanimous in saying that whether this movie is good or not is judged by the audience. What, when will our new movie be released, and welcome to taste it when the time comes...... It seems that he is looking at the wrong number of roads and is ready to be a turtle with a shrunken head.
However, there was a mistake in Baimi, and on the night of August 10th, Song Chengxian, who had drunk three or five more glasses, was blocked at the door of a nightclub by several reporters.
Of course, I want to spray someone, who doesn't follow the rules again and again, and doesn't respect the seniors. To tell the truth, there is no nutrition at all in this remark, and some things can still suppress the so-called traditional system of seniors and subordinates after all, and if you talk about seniors and juniors, at least the identities of the two sides cannot be too different before you can talk about it, right? Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon was only 45 years old when he took office, and all the people in South Korea who are qualified to deal with him are seniors...... Do you want him to bow three times in one step?
However, the dizzy Song Seung-hun was still completely put on as he spoke, and he began to stalk his neck and say that "Uncle" was only good at the box office, but in fact, when it came to depth, it was still his friend Lee Byung-hun's "Seeing the Devil", and even his "Stateless", which will be released next month, may not be without the power of a war...... It's kind of interesting.
But that's not all, in the end, Song Chengxian, who became more and more aggrieved the more he talked, finally couldn't hold back the little thoughts in his heart. He broke a big news to reporters, according to him, in fact, Jin Zhongming and himself are not once or twice, and it is not unacceptable to make a little antagonism, but in fact, the deep contradiction between the two sides only comes from the struggle for the leadership of some things between Zhang Dongjian and An Shengji in their heyday. It's just that now Zhang Dongjian is obviously almost gone, but the other party is still holding on to his group of people, and he doesn't have the bearing of a winner at all......
In this way, the reporters got satisfactory material, Song Seung-hun vented his emotions, and both parties were happy.
However, the next development of things is very interesting, and after sleeping until the next morning and waking up from alcohol, the frightened Song Seungxian did not feel too much turmoil in last night's events except for receiving a complaining phone call from Li Bingxun. And after looking at it on the Internet, he was frightened, but his heart was almost cold.
In other words, there is indeed a lot of noise on the Internet, but it is roughly the fans of "Uncle" and the fans of themselves, Lee Byung-hun, and Zhu Zhenmo are tearing each other there, this one says that we are so handsome and understandable, and the other one says that you are a little white face, we are real men...... Then the media kept analyzing and discussing how much impact the two new movies could have on "Uncle". And the crux of the matter is that almost all the media reported their dissatisfaction with "Uncle" last night, and their confidence in "The Stateless" and "Seeing the Devil...... However, none of the media mentioned their revelations about Zhang Dongjian and An Shengji yesterday......
Song Chengxian, who had been churning for a while to confirm the news, felt that his white hair was sweating out, and then he immediately became cold under the effect of the air conditioner, and in an instant, he had a strong urge of 'the earth is too dangerous, mom I want to go back to Mars'. And after sitting for half an hour, Song Seung-hun, an 'old boy' who has been popular all over Asia since the beginning of "Blue Life and Death Love", finally felt that his frozen thinking began to melt slowly, and he finally understood why Fingerprint, the production company of "The Stateless", did not dare to fight; finally figured out why Lee Byung-hun repeatedly asked him not to stand up and fight back; he finally understood why Zhang Dongjian has been so honest in the past two years; and he seems to have figured out why Bae Yongjun can get better and better now...... In short, Song Chengxian finally understood that it was time for him to make up his mind to be a low-key person.
Because, this world is too dangerous for a grasshopper like himself who can only show his presence by barking non-stop!
Well, even if the grasshopper is still a grasshopper, life still has to be passed, and then things develop as many people 'guess'. On August 11th, Showbox, which was really clueless, gritted its teeth and officially released "Seeing the Devil" according to the original plan. And the effect is not bad, and after the movie was released, it really caused a little blocking effect on "Uncle". But to be honest, Choi Min-sik and Lee Byung-hun teamed up with Kim Ji-woon, and it was a movie produced by Showbox, which only played a small blocking effect in the end, which is a big joke in itself.
The reality is like this, starting from the 11th, it took three or four days to be released, and it was not until the weekend that "Seeing the Devil" won the box office of less than 400,000 viewers, and "Uncle" next door has won 3.6 million people at the box office in the ten or so days after its release.
Tsk, this gap is really a bit ...... It's a bit of a disgrace.
So, when it came to one Friday, in this situation where I knew at a glance that I had lost everything, the side of "Seeing the Demon" finally became dumb. In the face of the media's push and malicious provocation, Showbox began to keep silent, Choi Min-sik devoted himself to Buddhism (running to Dongguk University every day), and Lee Byung-hun simply disappeared. Slowly, even the audience who went to the movie because of the appeal of the actors and directors couldn't help but publicly complain about the scale of the movie after returning from watching it...... In other words, the scale of this point shadow is really too big, what eat human flesh, feed dogs, rape, and divide corpses...... There are few viewers who can suppress their impetuous minds and watch it.
In short, facts speak louder than words, and the fact is that from word-of-mouth to box office, "Seeing the Devil" was almost beaten by "Uncle" with one hand! The media that have idle eggs are already shouting, Kim Jong-ming is not bragging about beating four by himself, "The Stateless" should not be delayed, hurry up! Let's see if the two of you can do one hand of "Uncle" with the four of you, now this situation is so boring, what about the battle between the male and female that you said when you were making the movie? A few days ago, Song Seung-heon, were you full of confidence in Lee Byung-hun? Isn't it cheating on our feelings?
However, Song Chengxian and Zhu Zhenmo are still honest and like something, they have not shown their heads for so long, and they seem to be gritting their teeth and preparing to be turtles with shrunken heads.
And at this time, there was an unexpected character who finally couldn't hold back, which could be regarded as adding a point of color to the boring one-sided war of "Uncle" and "Seeing the Devil", and it was only an increase in color. This person is the director of "Seeing the Devil", Kim Ji-yun, one of the representatives of the group of directors currently leading the way in South Korea.
How to say it, Kim Zhiyun, as a famous director, has actually refrained from participating in the feast of the top group of actors in South Korea before, after all, the ecological environment between the director and the actors is very interesting, not only is he hiding at this time, Kang Youshuo or something is also pretending not to see this good show. But...... In the face of the overall trend of public opinion, he and his movies are used as a contrast, this great director is also a little unbearable, you can say that the commercial failure of the film, you can also say that the scale is large, but because of the commercial failure and the large scale, he will be a little unbearable to depreciate the artistic achievements of the film and belittle the artistic achievements of the film. Therefore, in the end, Jin Zhiyun actually went down in person and explained the movie to the media.
"The artistry of the film was destroyed by the Film Promotion Committee, who did not understand our pursuit, and forcibly emasculated the film with a restrictive ban. ”
"We sent it three times, and the 141-minute film was cut to 130 minutes. ”
"Cannibalistic footage...... Isn't it uncomfortable to eat people? I don't think so. ”
"It's too cruel, why can't it be like "Uncle"? Why let good people be ruined or even become demons? Because our films value artistry more...... Commercial...... I'm willing to admit defeat on commercial issues, and this movie is estimated to not have one-third of the box office of "Uncle". ”
"What does it matter to us that Showbox and CJ are competing for business?"
"There is no disrespect for women...... But as you said, I also advise female viewers not to watch this film alone. ”
"I haven't seen "The Stateless", so I won't comment. Is it coming out?"
"Of course I've watched "Uncle"...... Kim Jong-ming's performance?...... To be honest, I think as he said, his performance in "Uncle" has gone beyond the scope of strength and acting, and a person who is so ruthless that he is willing to gamble with his life is entitled to victory...... I'm not saying that Lee Byung-hun and Choi Min-sik are inferior to him, it's just that for various reasons, as I just said, Kim Jong-myung's performance in "Uncle" is beyond imagination, so even if Lee Byung-hun and Choi Min-sik are both extremely good...... But whether it is the Big Bell Award or the Blue Dragon Award, I personally am indeed more optimistic about Zheng Jae-yong and Kim Jong-myeong. ”
"Who said that? Choi Min-sik senior...... In fact, he has long had the idea of not playing a demon anymore, and it is a fact that he is tired of the image of a murderer and violence, but the causal relationship with this movie has been reversed by you. It's not that he's tired of this movie, it's that he decided to make a break first, and then found this movie on Showbox...... Actually, I was also pulled by him. His role in this movie is very special, not a role, but a role in reality, as far as I know, Kim Jong Ming also gave a lot of things for him to be able to appear in this movie at that time, but fate is really interesting...... But it should be enough for Choi Min-sik's seniors, he just wants to play a demon!"
"Everybody's giving a lot, everybody's giving and that's really why I'm here...... But now it seems that in a way, I was too much of a demon, bloody, violent, cruel, and too much of a tribute to Park Chan-wook's revenge trilogy, and I did ignore other things...... No regrets, absolutely no regrets. Actually, you don't understand one thing, so many movies this year are all excellent, and some movies that are not even qualified to be on the table are enough to have a place in previous years, but the themes are similar, and they are all placed together, which forces everyone to divide into three, six, nine and so on. It's fair and it's not fair!"
"That's right, I think the deep-seated reason for this is the revival of Korean films. The noir-themed films that were uniformly selected due to the shrinking market before came together, which played a wonderful chemical reaction, and actors and actors, movies and movies, including the previous "Poetry" directed by Li Cangdong, can also be classified into the same category. Indeed, Korean cinema has indeed survived the most difficult moments...... But alas, the actors who stand at the highest point of this wave are not from my films...... If the director says it, I don't scare anyone! The same goes for director Lee Chang-dong and director Kang Woo-suk!"
"Off topic, change the subject? Have you ever thought about it, the current situation in Korean movies is actually an inevitable result. The market is reviving, and people's hearts are restless, but the hesitation and loss of the previous years have made everyone still hesitate. So, everybody is eager to see a representative work appear in front of them as a guiding light, and they also want to have a thoroughly successful character and actor to set an example, and the same ...... Everyone also longs for a new market, a new era, with a pure and safe order. Of course, the last one I just mentioned is far away, and trying to establish a new order in the Korean film industry is just a dream...... But no matter what, the change of seasons will appear soon, and this has nothing to do with everyone's expectations and hesitation, it will come over soon, exactly like the real change of seasons. ”
"What am I? I'm just a grasshopper with a lot of strength at the end of summer, reminding everyone in my voice that autumn is coming and the soybeans are about to be harvested...... And then the gnats will disappear for more than half a year, and they will probably die and will never be able to call out again. …… In fact, I have already made up my mind to leave the Korean film industry for a while and go to Hollywood to test the waters. ”
"That's right, it's a deserter, you can also call it a pathfinder, it doesn't matter. Let's talk about it if we fail, but we have to break through, right? Why should I take a showbox movie?"
"It's sincere!" Sitting in his office, Jin Zhongming said with emotion as he played the newspaper. "After all, the Korean film industry has gathered a lot of real elites in this country......"
"yes. An Shengji replied with a smile. "There are still a lot of real figures in the Korean film industry, because it is connected with the academic community at its roots, plus it also has some public opinion guidance and economic strength, and it has slowly and naturally formed a very independent force in South Korea. Otherwise, do you think that Li Cangdong and his cloth were directly seated in the Minister of Culture?"
Jin Zhongming nodded: "It is indeed a very strong and rich territory, and as this said, the people living here are eager for revival and at the same time looking forward to the birth of a better new order." ”
"How's it going?" Ahn Sung-ki looked at his student with a smirk. "Got an idea?"
Jin Zhongming raised his eyebrows, and did not say whether he wanted to or not, but gave another answer: "Difficult!"
"Of course it's hard!" An Shengji shook his head. "If it were easy, there would have been a new order here...... You have to understand that there are four different levels of this circle that are fighting each other, not to mention the unity of the entire film industry, and even each of the individual levels does not seem to have any hope of being integrated. ”
"The cultural and ideological level, the political level, the economic level, the organizational structure level of the practitioners. Jin Zhongming closed his eyes and said the answer. "The cultural and ideological level is the most difficult, or even impossible to integrate; the economic level is the most direct, but it needs hard power; the political level needs skills and leverage, but it is also the most affected by external forces, after all, this thing is the most balanced, no matter who is in power, they deliberately balance the bottom; as for the organizational structure level, although we have done a lot of work, we can ...... But it still seems out of reach. ”
"Want to be the de facto rule-maker of this circle......" Ahn Shengji sighed. "At least two of these levels are controlled, and then the other is affected. Otherwise, everyone is just a grasshopper, and the one that screams loudly is just a few more days in the fall. ”
"That's what you say. Kim Jong Ming grinned. "What if a person lives a lifetime, even if he becomes president? Isn't he still a grasshopper in the Blue House for five years? Confucius is still a wandering grasshopper. ”
"I knew you would say that. Ahn Sung-ki also smiled. "After all, am I old?"
“……”
"I recently saw a book. An Shengji said suddenly. "Critical of the judiciary, a documentary literary ...... adapted from a real case"
"Do you need anything?" Kim Jong-ming smiled and closed the newspaper. "If you want to make a movie, you don't need to tell me, you can just use the company's resources, copyright, project establishment, and personnel deployment, all of which are close to you. ”
"I just have a vague intention. An Shengji stood up and continued. "So I'll say hello to you first, if it's really confirmed, it's not me who blows, in South Korea, no one can stop me from making a movie. ”
"Is it a good case?" Kim Jong-ming also stood up.
"Uh......" An Shengji stopped. "After reading the book and reading the relevant reality report, the whole case gave me a very amazing feeling, I think this case already has the sense of symbolism that small people challenge the system, plus your performance in "Uncle" this year is really good, and I am also a little competitive. Real-life cases are always the best place for Korean movies to show their strength......"
"Oh. Jin Zhongming walked out from behind his desk without a face. "Listening to what you say, it seems that this movie should not run away. But teacher, I want to ask you a question...... If that's the subject matter and the reason, aren't you trying to learn how to scream like a grasshopper in vain?"
An Shengji, who was already holding the doorknob, turned his head, and finally smiled slightly after looking at his student for a few moments: "Zhong Ming, are you misunderstanding something, I don't mean to look down on the grasshopper." ”
"I didn't misunderstand anything. Jin Zhongming walked to the observation deck with a smile, and flicked the glass in front of him with his hand, and his voice was very crisp. "It's just that your words have aroused a little rebellion. ”
"What rebellious heart?" Ahn Sung-ki was amused. "24, right? You're graduating with a master's degree, and you're still rebellious?"
"Actually, you don't have to think too much, teacher, I have to say, since everyone is a grasshopper!" Jin Zhongming looked back and smiled. "Then why do you have to think about autumn and winter, isn't it enough to do the loudest one all the time?"
"Makes sense!"
"Thank you. ”
"Come on!"
"You too!"
