Chapter 106: The two sides are in a dilemma
"What's wrong?" After thinking for a while, Jin Zhongming pinched his cigarette a little weakly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Talk about it in advance, we have something to say, and we have to get straight to the point." ”
"I ...... I'm worried that I won't be able to act. Liu Renna came down with tears in her eyes, thanks to the fact that this movie requires her to wear no makeup throughout the whole process, otherwise her whole face would have been spent.
"And then?" Jin Zhongming asked with a frown. "What if you don't think you can act well?"
"Then ......" Liu Renna, who was originally pear blossoms and rain, was suddenly speechless.
Yes, what if the acting is not good, do you have to change people at this time? Not to mention whether you are willing to give up this opportunity, even your own family and the company have a positive attitude of encouragement for themselves to participate in this movie...... How can you give up so easily in this situation?
But then again, Liu Renna still has a feeling of being blocked by something in her heart...... If I don't say it, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night.
"I'm just afraid that I won't act well, and when the time comes, I will lower the level of the movie, and then I will become a sinner. Liu Renna gritted her teeth and wiped her tears and replied.
"What bullshit sinner...... Who told you this?" Jin Zhongming couldn't help but feel a little irritable.
"Nobody told me about this directly. Liu Renna explained in a low voice. "It's just that in the crew these days, some people are always a little stressful after being exposed to some things......"
"There are some things I understand. Kim took a half step back and leaned against the school wall. "Because this situation is common to everyone, after all, the concentrated shooting of some scenes in the plot is really difficult for those of us who live normally to accept...... But what do some people mean? Is there anyone on our crew that is stressing you out?"
Liu Renna didn't speak.
However, after thinking about it for a while, Jin Zhongming also understood what was going on.
You know, this is Gwangju after all, even if the Gwangju city government chose to remain silent about the filming of this film, so that the opposition forces have no unified organizers. However, this crew is still an unpopular group in all specific areas of the city, and what is their attitude, and whether they will obstruct it intentionally or unintentionally?
Therefore, in order to reduce unnecessary contact and avoid unnecessary trouble, the crew also adopted a closed shooting method accordingly, anyway, there is a natural closed set of the school at present! In fact, Kim Jong-ming and Hwang Dong-hyuk all set an example from the beginning to eat and live in this school, and most of the actors and crew also learned the same after seeing this scene and prepared to shoot intensively.
In this case, the members of the local human rights organizations in Gwangju, who had been working hard in the original incident, have now become a natural bridge of communication between the crew and the city outside. Necessary judicial procedures when erecting equipment, daily maintenance of filming equipment...... Even when it comes to ordering lunch boxes, these things are all covered with the participation and help of these Gwangju human rights organization volunteers. And their attention to this matter and the enthusiasm that these people have have really provided great help to the crew.
But...... Now it seems that their enthusiasm is a bit excessive!
"Sister Renna. Jin Zhongming was even more helpless after he figured it out. "You have to understand them...... For many of them, the incident is actually a curse, and some have even been haunted for a whole decade! What's more, people with a little common sense know that your character is their incarnation, and it is actually normal for them to expect more from you. ”
"I understand......" Liu Renna replied with a bowed head.
"But...... Still feel a lot of pressure, don't you?" Kim raised an eyebrow.
"That's right. Liu Renna bowed her head and replied. "I know it might be a shame to say that, but ...... The more enthusiastic they were about me and the more they expected me, the more worried I became. I know very well in my heart that this kind of movie that is destined to become a topic of conversation is very good if it is done well, but if it is really bad, then I will not become a joke? But I am the one with the worst acting skills and the least experience here!"
"That's the big truth. Jin Zhongming nodded very frankly. "But Sister Renna, have you thought about it, this kind of pressure is actually everyone, including me, it's true that you have little experience and poor acting skills, but I'm the most experienced and the biggest coffee position, isn't it a reason to have pressure? So what's the use of you looking for me? Can I promise you anything?"
"I also know it's useless to look for you...... But who can I go to?" Liu Renna replied with great difficulty. "Do you want me to go and tell the volunteers of the human rights organizations that please don't be so enthusiastic about me?"
Jin Zhongming acquiesced.
"But...... Why are you crying again?" After a moment of silence, Jin Zhongming cheered up and continued to ask. "It can't be because someone added an extra chicken leg when they handed you a boxed lunch, right?"
"Not really. Liu Renna still has that embarrassed expression. "Actually, I cried just now not because I was worried about acting badly, but I just thought about it after crying...... Actually, I saw Hyun-so stuffed into the washing machine at the girls' dormitory just now......"
"That's acting...... After Hyun-so's performance, didn't you still run out with a smile to grab snacks with In-so?" Kim Jong-myung interrupted the other party impatiently.
"But......" Liu Renna raised her head, feeling a little about to speak.
"But what?"
"But...... But although we are filming a scene, isn't there a real prototype behind this scene?" Liu Renna couldn't help but shed tears again. "The people from the human rights organization told me as soon as they came that these plots in the script were all real things, and that the deaf and dumb children in that school had really encountered these things before, and when I read the novel, it was also marked that it was based on real events...... But I didn't feel it at the time, and I could even bear it when I was filming today. But when the filming was over, when all of us actresses returned to the girls' dormitory that we used to shoot, I took my clothes and wanted to wash them, and I couldn't stand looking at the washing machine...... Did those people really soak such a young child in the washing machine? What are the more excesses?"
"Then shoot well. Jin Zhongming can only say so.
"But I'm afraid I won't be able to shoot well. Liu Renna cried even more fiercely. "If it was because I didn't make it well, the film didn't get attention...... Then how am I going to film in the future?"
"First!" replied Kim Jong-ming with a dark face. "Don't cry, what's the matter with you letting those little actors see it? Even if you don't consider them, what will other people think when they see the heroine having an emotional breakdown?"
Liu Renna tried her best to wipe away her tears.
"Secondly. Jin Zhongming continued to say with a straight face. "This movie will definitely be a success, and you don't have to worry about not acting well, because you are an actor I selected, even if I can't do it, I will bring you out even if I know how to do it!
Liu Renna nodded reluctantly.
Jin Zhongming breathed a sigh of relief, although he didn't know how much his method of coaxing and scaring could play a role, but he finally temporarily supported the scene.
"I'll give you a task!" After thinking about it for a while, Jin Zhongming, whose brain hurt uncomfortably, spoke again.
"Zhong Ming, you said. Liu Renna has regained her senses.
"Aren't you going to shoot 'Heroes' tomorrow?" said Kim Jong-ming, touching the cigarette case in his trouser pocket. "You want to go back to Seoul, right?"
"Hmm!"
"Then let's go now, and make a trip to our cube and meet someone there for me...... Be hidden. ”
"Who?"
Ms. Qian Changming, a psychological counselor in our company's medical room...... Find her and tell her about your situation and see if she can do anything. ”
"I ...... Got it. Liu Renna hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
"That's good. Jin Zhongming nodded and left directly, not caring about the other party's hesitation, because he knew that the other party was worried that the other party would have a bad reputation after the news of seeing a psychiatrist spread, and he was afraid of losing face. In fact, if it weren't for the same company's workplace culture in foreign trade, I'm afraid that even the artists and staff within CUBE would not have gone to Qian Changming. In the same way, as a Korean crew with no fewer rules and taboos than in the Xiangjiang film industry, it may be difficult for the people on the set to accept the comprehensive and fanfare of the psychiatrist...... It is even likely to send some bad signals to the outside world.
Of course, this is also the reason why Jin Zhongming did not contact Qian Changming directly, even if he vaguely felt in his heart that letting professionals intervene was the best way to deal with it.
And then...... Qian Changming's arrival was much faster than he imagined, in fact, that night, there was still a thin unknown object floating outside, and it was impossible to tell whether it was freezing rain or snow particles, so the female psychological counselor drove over directly.
"You are acting very irresponsibly!" As soon as they met, the royal sister made a conclusion to Jin Zhongming.
"What do you mean exactly? Let's go outside. Jin Zhongming answered casually, and pushed the other party to the road at the school gate.
In other words, because of the sudden freezing rain, the school was full of staff who helped clean up and cover the equipment, and Jin Zhongming didn't want these topics between himself and Qian Changming to be heard by the crew.
That would shake the morale of the military.
"I'm talking about three children!" Qian Changming's reason is very legitimate and reasonable. "You let them film this kind of scene, and you didn't even arrange a professional psychologist to guide them?! I'm talking about a serious psychologist, the kind of active treatment, not a passive psychological counselor like me. ”
"You have a point. Jin Zhongming nodded, but the expression on his face did not fluctuate in the slightest. "But...... You see, if I do that, the parents of the children will be the first to object, and they don't want their children to be labeled as mental illness when they make a movie. ”
Qian Changming is a lag.
"And...... The next objection will be to the people you know from your own company, who will tell you that you don't need a psychiatrist on set......"
"So...... Hmph!" Qian Changming sneered. "So, why did I wander abroad for so long before I came back...... The people of this country love face to the point of avoiding medical treatment!"
"How do you think this movie came about?" asked Kim Jong-ming unceremoniously. "A case that was originally extremely simple, even if it was an unfair verdict...... But if it weren't for the love of face of those big people, things were covered up and covered up layer by layer, and finally the entire upper echelons of Gwangju were dragged in, where would the absurd situation that is today be formed?"
"Then what are you going to do?" Qian Changming eased slightly.
"If I knew what to do, I wouldn't have asked Liu Renna to find you. Jin Zhongming smiled bitterly. "I'm driving myself crazy...... Let's put it this way, the children are actually in good shape, after all, the three children are playing together, and from time to time a group of children from Jeollanam-do come over to perform as a group performer, and we are all more attentive to this aspect of things...... Even I have thought about it, I can let you come to the crew as a family teacher, a teacher from Seoul University to Sungkyunkwan to help them with their homework, not only will the parents of the children not only not object, but I am afraid they will be very happy...... But now the question is ......"
"What's the problem now?" After hearing that Jin Zhongming had a way to let himself in the crew to take care of the child, Qian Changming's complexion immediately returned to the calm and calm image she had always given people.
"Now the question is...... It's not the children who are wrong, it's us adults. Jin Zhongming looked back at the brightly lit school behind him. "Do you have a way to get these actors and actresses who play perverts and sadists to accept your counseling, even if it's trickery or side counseling......
"No way. Qian Changming's face, which had just calmed down, became ugly again. "How mature are the minds of adults? What am I here for, they know it as soon as they come into contact with me, not to mention that there are so many colleagues in the company who know me...... In that case......"
"In that case, it will be difficult for them to accept your guidance, after all, there are so many people in the crew...... That's why it's difficult!" Kim Jong Ming was helpless. "Still the same sentence, why do you think I asked Liu Renna to find you?"
Qian Changming immediately fell silent, but after a while she spoke again: "But it can't go on like this, right? If there is really a large area of problems within the crew, the movie will not be able to be filmed." ”
"I know. Jin Zhongming took out half a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, and then lit another one for himself with fine snow slag scattered all around. "I've been making movies for so many years, so many films, and I've never thought that the most difficult thing about a movie is the shooting itself...... There are no technical limitations, no financial restrictions, no big-name actors, and not even a single situation that would theoretically cause the film to be interrupted...... However, it was almost impossible to shoot. Ultimately...... The most fundamental thing that affects the progress of a thing is the human heart!"
Qian Changming was silent again, this time she waited for a long time and didn't speak, but quietly watched Jin Zhongming finish smoking a cigarette in her hand, then lit another cigarette, smoked again, and smoked another.
"If you really can't do it, forget it. Kim Jong-ming put down the cigarette butt and decided not to waste any more time. "You can allow the film to be harder, rougher, to allow the actors to be emotionally aberrant, and you can also allow some scenes to be deleted...... Anyway, everyone did their best. At the end of the day, I was so self-righteous that I thought I had enough confidence in the movie, but in fact I underestimated it. ”
"Do you know what I'm thinking when I don't speak?" Qian Changming suddenly spoke.
"How do I know?"
"From a counselor's point of view, my position should be firm. Qian Changming replied. "That is, I don't care about any movie, I should take the mental health of personnel as the first purpose, so it stands to reason that I should agree with what you just thought. However, since you came to my office that day to see me for that consultation, I also have my own understanding of the film...... That is, it must be photographed seriously and with all its might...... Aside from the ridiculous political wrangling, the film itself is almost the only way to restore justice to those deaf children. ”
"Personally, I can do it. Jin Zhongming was a little irritable and casually brushed off the ice slag on the down jacket. "A ridiculous little consortium in Gwangju, I can go bankrupt by saying hello to Seungwen and Cheonghyun. ”
"I'm talking about justice. Qian Changming repeated solemnly.
Jin Zhongming immediately stopped talking, but he didn't mean to get up, as Qian Changming said, no matter how difficult it is, I have to shoot this movie seriously and with all my might, and now ...... For myself, this is already an obligation. But then again, it was this sense of responsibility that overwhelmed everyone in the crew, including himself.
In this way, seeing the colorful lights of Gwangju in front of him in the haze of snow or rain that I can't tell whether it is snow or rain, this male and female two high-achieving students from Seoul University have been sitting on the road in front of this school, and then staring at this city called Gwangju in reality, which was changed to Wujin by the writer in the movie. And those things that I don't know if it was rain or snow fell on the clothes of the two of them, and they easily melted and froze again, covering the clothes with a cold ice shell, and this thin shell was so heavy that the two of them couldn't get up all the time.
At nine o'clock in the evening, when Su Xiaoya came to ask Jin Zhongming to go back for dinner for the third time but was rejected by him, Qian Changming suddenly moved his body and shook off the ice shell on his coat.
"I ...... I thought back to some of the situations when Liu Renna came to me in the afternoon. Qian Changming actually spoke. "Actually...... Although I can't think of some direct and effective ways to deal with this situation, if you cut from the side and alleviate it to a certain extent...... There are still some methods of unknown effect. ”
"You speak. Jin Zhongming's face finally had a trace of anger again.
"The environment is something that has a huge impact on people's psyche. Qian Changming pointed to the school behind him without looking back. "You...... The reason for choosing a closed shooting is certainly speechless, but if there is an open shooting environment and allows the crew members to communicate more with the outside world, it will definitely alleviate everyone's psychological state to a certain extent...... Of course, this is just an idea, and the specific measures and effects should be looked at in detail. ”
Jin Zhongming did not directly respond to the other party's suggestion, but stretched out his hand and pointed to the city in front of him: "Do you know the senior......s? Educational, judicial, religious, government officials, local businesses, celebrities in the same city, local media...... Even the ordinary people all over the city, what is their attitude towards us as a crew? Not to mention...... The reason why this film disappeared from the media was not only due to the deliberate suppression of the Gwangju local government and the camp of the Cooks, but also because I myself mobilized forces to keep the media I knew with me from intervening, and at the same time to prevent the intervention of the conservative camp...... Because I don't want the film to be a weapon of political confrontation before it's even perfect...... That would be so pathetic!...... You have to have a clear conscience in artistic restoration, right? What did you just say...... Is it justice?"
"I mean......," Qian Changming replied with a little difficulty. "What if, I mean, open the crew to the outside world, but only accept the criticism and rudeness of the city, and not let the political forces behind you intervene?"
"That would put the crew in a different predicament. Jin Zhongming sneered. "Some people, just seeing some problems in the selection of the heroine before, can't wait to do something...... I won't say much about that, but I just want to say that some people are too stupid and short-sighted, and even if they send a little hint of weakness, then they will jump up and down, let alone simply let go of their hands and not fight back? ”
Zhong Ming...... You don't understand what I mean. Qian Changming sighed. "From the perspective of a counselor, I shouldn't do superfluous analysis and ...... of people's hearts Researched. However, in terms of the current situation of the crew...... If they feel all kinds of malice from the outside world, then maybe they will become more hardened and serious, and some unnecessary psychological problems may be suppressed...... It's human nature. ”
Jin Zhongming's hand that went to take out a cigarette was directly frozen on the spot.
"I'm in for dinner...... I've been hungry for a long time. Qian Changming stood up with difficulty. "I hope your lunch box on the set tastes good. ”
"What if...... The situation is out of control?" When the other party walked to the school gate, Jin Zhongming suddenly turned his head and asked. "If you let go...... Letting this city turn hostile to us will it turn to the collapse of the crew?"
"It depends on your level. Qian Changming walked into the school without looking back. "If you have what it takes, you can put an end to the city's malicious attacks at any time of the time...... Then open the door as much as you want. ”
Jin Zhongming turned around and still sat there, and after a long time, he lit the last cigarette in the cigarette case with some trembling.
This time, however, he didn't take a sip, but instead watched the cigarette burn out on its own.
