Chapter 879: All Ready

Shi Zhenqiu didn't have much time to care about public opinion on the Internet, and he didn't care.

Anyway, there are countermeasures behind it, so there is no hurry.

Besides, this May, he was very busy.

On the one hand, he has to supervise Hyo-min's solo production, as well as the filming of "Infinite Challenge" and "I Am a Singer".

But other work is more important than that.

Kim Tae-hee's "Blind Witness" has finally completed all the filming, and it's time to finish.

Such a big event, Shi Zhenqiu couldn't help but rush to the scene.

The story of "Blind Evidence" is actually quite bland, and there is no big scene. The final ending is also very traditional, all the fights are over, and the police are late.

If you want to say that the brilliance of this drama is completely supported by the heroine alone.

Kim Tae-hee poured all his heart and soul into this drama, and it took months to prepare.

And her hard work was worth it, and during the filming, everyone was impressed by her dedication.

Especially the blind woman she played, it is even more breathtaking.

Director Ahn Sang-hoon, who has held positions in major award ceremonies all year round, admitted frankly that Kim Tae-hee's performance is very promising to compete for Daejong or Cheongyong's actress.

And hearing his evaluation, Kim Tae-hee was even more confident.

She remembered that the origin of this movie was Shi Zhenqiu's desire to satisfy her acting skills.

Thinking of this, at the lively finale scene, Kim Tae-hee's eyes were like water, and only Shimoshi Zhenqiu was accommodated.

"Mo, why does Nu Na look at Zhenqiu like this?

Unexpectedly, Kim Tae-hee's affectionate appearance was noticed by Kim Hee-cheol.

This guy was not polite, and he poked it out directly.

Good fellow, all of a sudden, everyone around heard it and looked at it.

I didn't expect to be emotional, but I was discovered. Kim Tae-hee couldn't help but panic, and his cheeks were flushed.

Shi Zhenqiu glared at Kim Hee-cheol, very dissatisfied with this guy's big grin, and then stopped in front of Kim Tae-hee, blocking everyone's gaze.

"Alright, guys, now the filming of this movie is over. Thank you very much for your hard work over the past two months, without everyone's hard work, our film would not have gone so smoothly. So here today, we at Mystic and LUA Entertainment have prepared some small gifts to thank you all for your efforts. I hope that there will be opportunities in the future and we will be able to cooperate. ”

As soon as Shi Zhenqiu waved his hand, Eun Ho and Kim Tae-hee's agents led the way and began to distribute gifts to everyone present.

Not a very expensive gift, but beautiful.

What makes everyone most happy is that in addition to the small gifts, there are also shopping coupons worth 500,000 yuan in the box that everyone receives.

With these shopping coupons, you can go to the corresponding shopping mall and buy the corresponding goods.

These vouchers, while also part of the gift, are not money from Mystic and LUA Entertainment.

It was sent by the sponsor of the movie, which is considered a reward for everyone.

After working for such a long time, a lot of income was recorded in the account, and I got a very attentive gift, everyone was very happy, and everyone dispersed satisfied.

Shi Zhenqiu was still not idle, grabbed An Shangxun, and ordered.

"In the post-production of the film, you must hurry. Although the specific time it will be released has not yet been confirmed, it will not be too late. As for the soundtrack, I've already kept Director Sunbee busy, and I expect it to come out in about a month. ”

Shi Zhenqiu's movies have always been very efficient, and even the staff have to be in a hurry.

His play and soundtrack were all made by himself.

Because Sunbee, the music director, was on his side to help, Shi Zhenqiu only needed to get the tune out.

The rest of the post-production and compositing, as well as cutting and application, Sunbee can do just fine.

Ahn Sang-hoon doesn't want to delay, after all, this is his first time directing after a long time, and he is looking forward to his work.

"Screenwriter Shi, can't we determine the release date of our movie?"

Shi Zhenqiu shook his head.

"You know, that's the highlight of CJ Group's year. ”

Shi Zhenqiu promised Li Meijing that he would keep this year's box office champion at CJ. That's why CJ has a lot of emphasis on "Looking" and has been supervising the production of the whole process.

With the maximum investment of resources, the post-production of "Lookout" is very fast. It is expected to be submitted to the Image Grading Committee for grading by early June.

There is no submission system for Korean films, and only the Video Rating Committee needs to evaluate the people who are suitable for screening based on the content of the film.

Outside of this process, there are some exceptions.

For example, public welfare films are limited to small and short films that are shown to specific people over the age of 18 without any charge, films that are recommended by the Film Promotion Committee to be screened at film festivals, films that are produced and screened by groups recommended by the committee, and other films that the Minister of Culture and Tourism deems not necessary to be classified.

As an ordinary commercial film, "Lookout" obviously has to be evaluated by the Image Rating Committee.

However, there are no surprises in this process, as the Image Rating Committee only has the power to assign ratings, and cannot prevent the release of films.

The real trouble is not on the side of "Looking".

"Hey, I've been really annoyed lately. ”

In Lee Mi-kyung's office, it can be seen that the vice chairman of CJ Group, Lee Jae-X's sister, looks very haggard at this time.

"I shouldn't have promised you that I shouldn't have helped the Crucible shoot in the first place. ”

Shi Zhenqiu drank tea beautifully, and couldn't stop laughing when he heard the words.

"Nuna, weren't you also indignant at the time. ”

Li Meijing puffed in her nostrils.

"Hmph, I didn't expect it to be so difficult. Look at how brutal those people are. ”

As she spoke, she threw a report in front of Shi Zhenqiu.

After Shi Zhenqiu watched it, he realized that things were really difficult.

In order to restore the movie as much as possible, Kong Liu and the others chose the filming location in Gwangju at the beginning.

But it is conceivable that the local government has been taboo about this matter, and it is even more reluctant for anyone to expose it.

Therefore, the crew of "The Crucible" did not pass any of the venue applications and filming assistance.

Not only that, but when they were filming, they encountered obstruction and sabotage by community organizations.

Fortunately, Kong Liu and others worked together, so that some people did not succeed.

Rao is so, because of some realistic pressure, some actors have also chosen to quit, even if they pay liquidated damages, they can't go on.

Kong Liu, Kong Zhiyong and others are not vicious, and they understand very well how difficult it is for those who choose to quit, so they did not ask for liquidated damages, but let them go very happily.

As a last resort, there was no way to shoot in Gwangju, so Kong Liu and others had to change the filming location to Daejeon City in Chungnam.

Some people may ask, why just change to Chungnam?

Hmph, this is about the regional differences in Korea.

Chungnam and Gyeongbuk have always been the strongholds of the Conservative Party. Naturally, the people here don't have a good impression of the south side of the lake.

And the incident of "The Melting Pot" happened in Gwangju, the center of Ho Nam, which is a shame here.

The people of Ho Nam are ashamed to speak out, but the people of Chungnam are happy to expose their scars.

But it is precisely because of this speechless regional hostility that it has created an opportunity for the filming of "The Crucible". I have to say that the world is impermanent, which is embarrassing.

"Do they still have any difficulties now?"

It's not that Shi Zhenqiu doesn't want to pay more attention to "The Melting Pot", but Kong Liu, Kong Zhiyong and others don't let it.

In their words, Shi Zhenqiu was able to provide funds and production team to help with the shooting, which already made them grateful.

They know how difficult the road they have walked is, and Shi Zhenqiu has the status he has today.

They can't drag Shi Zhenqiu into the water because of this movie and let him be targeted.

In this regard, although Shi Zhenqiu repeatedly said that he didn't care, he still didn't let Kong Liu and others agree.

Especially his identity, it is what worries Kong Liu and others.

Because he is also from Hunan, his actions, in the words of those bastards, are betraying Hunan.

This lethality is greater than in other aspects.

It is because of this consideration that Kong Liu and others deliberately downplayed Shi Zhenqiu's influence, and tried not to let the outside world associate him with "The Melting Pot".

But in this way, if Shi Zhenqiu wants to know about the situation of "The Crucible", he can only go through CJ Group.

Similarly, the pressure that should have been put on him also ran to CJ Group.

The first to bear the brunt is Li Meijing, the leader.

What Shi Jin-choo didn't know was that Lee Mi-kyung had been attacked by lawmakers representing the Ho-Nam region many times and blamed CJ Group, and was under tremendous pressure as a result.

Hearing him ask about the situation of "The Crucible", Li Meijing sighed.

"Hey, what else can I do? There is no turning back from the bow, so I can only hold on. But don't worry too much, they don't have any problems at the moment. If someone is against it, someone will support it. In South Korea, there is no shortage of people who can't look down on others. Do you understand?"

Of course Shi Zhenqiu understood.

It turned out that other forces intervened and used "The Crucible" as a means to attack the opposition parties.

In the past, you have always advertised yourself as the vanguard of freedom and democracy, well, now that there is a scandal in your local area, why can't you handle it well?

It can be said that in the matter of "The Melting Pot", the opposition parties are under a lot of pressure.

Although Shi Zhenqiu has a good relationship with the opposition party, he also talked to so many parliamentarians. But he didn't have any sympathy, on the contrary, he felt that he had to teach these people a lesson.

Otherwise, these people will not be sober and will become no different from the ruling party.

Yes, the more he has contact with the high-level, the more Shi Zhenqiu finds that those politicians are really no different.

"Now our main job, J's side has been decided, and the movie will be released at the end of June. Before that, you also have to participate in the propaganda thing. ”

Facing Li Meijing's instructions, Shi Zhenqiu was dumbfounded again.

"No, why did the propaganda find me again? I'm a screenwriter, and these should be their actors' work. ”

Li Meijing waved her hand and said very unceremoniously: "Ah, boy, I will carry the black pot for you." What can you do if you run away and publicize? Why are you so reluctant? If it's not for you, it works well. Rest assured, you won't be looking for anything other than a TV campaign. ”

Korean film promotion also has the means of roadshows and lectures everywhere.

Various universities, various places, etc., are all places that the crew needs to run to.

In addition to that, it's the promotion of the TV show.

There are all big actors in "Looking", and there is no problem with acting skills. But when it comes to going on the show to promote the movie, they really can't do it.

Therefore, Li Meijing pushed this onto Shi Zhenqiu.
