Chapter 422 - Seeing Through (10k -2 in 1)

As the chairman of the executive committee of the Busan Film Festival and the dean of the Graduate School of Arts at Chung-Ang University in South Korea, Professor Lee Yong-kwan has always presented himself with a serious posture without smiling, but tonight, in the committee room on the top floor of CUBE Corporation, he was particularly serious.

"What do you think?" Unexpectedly, Jin Zhongming, who was sitting next to Professor Li Yongguan in a formal suit, looked quite relaxed, and even had a slight hint of frivolity in his tone and movements.

Maybe both of them are pretending!

Sitting diagonally opposite these two people is Kim Donghu, the founder of the Busan Film Festival, and at this moment, this retired old man is maliciously speculating in his heart about the two people opposite- As the actual person in charge of the current film festival, Li Yongguan needs to exaggerate things and difficulties, so that he can get more help on this occasion, and then after the problem is successfully solved or helpless, he can have more reasons to obtain higher evaluation or more understanding; as for Jin Zhongming, he is the person who controls the most resources here, can be said to be the person with the most methods, and the person who is most highly hoped, and in a certain sense he is also the leader or upper level of Li Yongguan, so he needs to pretend to be nothing, so as to give others confidence and prevent this group that has gathered temporarily from collapsing。

Maybe he shouldn't have retired so early? Probably sensing that his mind was still sharp, the old man Jin Donghu suddenly had another thought.

"Senior...... Zhong Ming asked you, what do you think?" At this moment, Li Cangdong, who was sitting next to Jin Donghu, couldn't help but jokingly reminded his old friend, or his old rival...... There was no way, the other party's sluggish reaction made him can't help but wonder if this old guy was already senile dementia.

"Ask me?" Jin Donghu really came back to his senses. "I ...... I'm in an awkward position, and I'm retired again, so there's something I don't want to get involved in. ”

Jin Zhongming suddenly snorted, as if he often did in the movie "Veteran", I just don't know if he is expressing dissatisfaction with the other party's frankness, or expressing understanding?

"If that's the case, the senior might as well go back first. Li Cangdong said sincerely. "Next we are going to talk about the topic of defending the freedom of Korean films, which may not be on your ears. ”

"At this time, we should be united, how can we still worry about each other because of some old things?" In the corner of the conference room, Cui Minzhi, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, but he unceremoniously accused Li Cangdong.

"Speaking of solidarity. Li Yongguan, who had a black face, suddenly felt even darker. "I'm going to say a few words today that aren't very united...... Mr. Choi Min-sik and Mr. Song Kang-ho, did you take our position and think a little bit about our film festival before you did this? Is it really interesting to play moral kidnapping?"

Choi Min-sik immediately shut up and said nothing, and Song Kang-ho next to him was inevitably a little sneering.

However, this did not make Li Yongguan relieved: "You two, especially Mr. Song Kanghao, I hope you understand that although based on the principled political correctness of freedom of artistic creation, the film festival is destined to fight this documentary for you." However, this does not mean that we are willing to be played as monkeys! You must see every price we pay in the future and keep it in mind! Korean filmmakers are not for nothing!"

"I already understand exactly what Professor Li Yongguan means. Song Kanghao could only bite the bullet and speak softly at this time.

"It's not just Song Kanghao's predecessors, you understand. Jin Zhongming said with a smile on the side. "You have to tell it to others, so that people can understand. In these days, anyone who goes to a convenience store to work has a minimum hourly wage, not to mention that it is rare for us Korean filmmakers to unite together to give people anti-bao...... Actually, let's not mention it alone, but the film festival and the Filmmakers Federation must sign an employment contract, otherwise if we are really chopped up by the aunt of the Blue House, then we can only wait for the cultural consultant to come on stage and then help us sew it up. ”

"Ahem!" Song Kang-ho became more and more embarrassed. "Isn't that the case? After all, everyone gets together for the sake of morality......"

"Don't say anything like that!" Director Lin Quanze, who was nesting in the other corner of the conference room, suddenly opened his eyes. "Kang Hao, didn't you use a trick to tie almost all the Korean filmmakers to your chariot through the film festival? And in doing so, in addition to speaking out for the victims of the Sewol, don't you have the slightest intention of helping your Mr. Moon Jae-in? Everyone knows that now the government is tightly controlled by the government and everything else, and your literary adviser ran into a wall everywhere, and then he went around trying to open up a new front, and at this time you just made a documentary and stuffed it into the film festival...... Are we really stupid?"

"Not ......"

"Isn't it? Oh, could it be that you are not supporting Mr. Moon Jae-in but Ms. Shen of the Justice Party? Or do you Song Kang-ho think that you are not a part of the Korean filmmakers, and if you play everyone, you will play it in vain? Song Kang-ho, let me tell you, the tragedy of the Sewol is not only known to one person, and we are not cold-blooded monsters, but today Zhong Ming called everyone to him, closed the door and sealed the window, didn't he just want everyone to let go of those things and say some scheming words? At this time, he still pretended to be a big head of garlic, but there was a bit of a loss!"

Uncle Flatbread was embarrassed to death, and if it were someone else, he might have been wise to dissect his heart, but it was the godfather of Korean movies who fired a cannon at himself...... He's really right.

"Let me say, first of all, we have to be clear about our position and firm in our convictions. After he didn't even dare to raise his head, the godfather of Korean films, who was already very good at playing political struggles, officially expressed his opinion. "Because no matter what, the matter has already come out, and this documentary has been unanimously approved by the executive committee of the Busan Film Festival yesterday morning, and the so-called wood is already in the boat! Then, in the face of possible political suppression, whether it is out of basic political correctness or procedural justice, whether it is someone who is happy to see it or someone who is angry, we have to bite the bullet! Moreover, we must unite! Whether it's the so-called professors in Busan, the actors in Chungmuro, the left or the right, we must unite at this time!"

Everyone bowed their heads, this is indeed what the godfather of a country's film should say, and in fact, in terms of Lin Quanze's position and character, it would be strange if he didn't say so.

"And, what if ...... I mean, if we Korean filmmakers are really forced by the situation to face off with the Blue House, that consultant will have to make a formal statement. Lin Quanze's tone gradually lowered, but the undoubted indifference in his tone became more and more prominent. "Just like what Zhong Ming and Professor Li Yongguan said just now, Korean filmmakers are not the kind of political hooligans hired by tens of thousands of won a day on the street! We are not vegetarians! Since we are used, we have to show our posture! He Moon Jae-in is not able to do anything, so we should be regarded as helpful, but if one day we can produce a positive result, then we must be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and our share should not be missing no matter what...... Otherwise, we'll take it ourselves! From Kim Dae-jung to Roh Moo-hyun, Korean filmmakers have never been stunned by anyone, and he is not inferior to Moon Jae-in!"

Kim Jong-ming was almost about to applaud! Really, if he hadn't coldly discovered that Choi Min-sik had been staring at him with strange eyes, he would have applauded directly!

"Ahem!" At this moment, Li Yongguan suddenly coughed dryly, as if he wanted to add his opinion. "Director Lim Kwon-taek is not wrong at all, and in principle, this should be done...... But I must emphasize that Director Lin also said that all this is based on the premise that the situation forces us to fight with the Blue House, and it is difficult to say to what extent the government will do it. Is it true that we can't all eat because of a documentary? I can't watch it. Moreover, it is also a question of who will define this so-called situation? What if the government really lifts it up and gently puts it down, but there are still people with bad intentions, repeating the trick, and then engaging in moral kidnapping again?"

Song Kanghao took a deep breath, then lowered his head and forcibly suppressed his anger.

"Professor Li Yongguan is right!" Jin Zhongming continued. "We are not gathered together to fight anyone in the streets, but to unify our consciousness and try to prevent the brainless antagonism in the political circle from spreading to us. Then, based on the attitude of the government and the general will of Korean filmmakers, they will respond accordingly...... The struggle must be fought, and the forbearance must also be forbearance. And what I personally mean is that no matter what the government's reaction is, first of all, those of us who are leading the way will have to show a spirit of sacrifice, and try to bridge the differences between the two sides on the premise of maintaining the normal operation of the festival, and if we can get understanding, then it is best to ......."

This singing and harmonizing is really still a capitalist!

Uncle Flatbread didn't speak, but in his heart he remembered the conversation with Sun Shixi's anchor that day, no matter how outstanding Jin Zhongming's private virtue and ability were, but he would eventually choose to fornicate with the powerful in order to protect his own interests, and now it seems that it is really right...... However, it is already the limit to do this step by yourself, and you can't help but interfere in the development of things in the future, so you can only watch it as a spectator.

Li Yongguan and the others nodded one after another, but the old man Jin Donghu frowned very inappropriately at this time: "Zhong Ming is very right, but there is no need to tell us, because whether it is a struggle or bridging differences, I, a retired old man, cannot be involved...... Sacrifice must also have something to sacrifice, right? Zhong Ming, if you want to maintain the relationship between the government and the film festival now, you can basically only count on you. ”

Some of them are relying on the old and selling the old! Many people around him secretly complained in their hearts.

Of course, considering Jin Donghu's passive situation when he retired, maybe people still have a grudge against these people in their hearts? Now it's hard to get his connections to play a role, and it's good to decorate garlic with garlic.

After all, when it comes to maintaining the relationship between the government and the film industry, it has to be Kim Donghu.

And sure enough, in the face of the old man's bad attitude, Jin Zhongming just smiled and didn't make a sound.

"Now that everyone has agreed on it, shouldn't we go and investigate the situation next?" An Shengji, who had not spoken, also interjected, not knowing if he had any intention of breaking the siege for his students.

"That'...... I'll go?!" The old man Jin Donghu took the opportunity to get angry and returned to his anger, and he was quite reliable at the critical moment. "I'm going to find an acquaintance at the Film Promotion Committee. ”

"It's a bit late. Song Kanghao also regained his mood at this time, and then joined in the rational discussion. "Already...... It's past seven o'clock, or the seniors will go to the Film Promotion Committee tomorrow, and today I can explore the wind with a few old friends from the Ministry of Culture, anyway, I can go to have a meal at this time. ”

"Yes. Jin Donghu bowed slightly.

"Actually, it doesn't have to be so troublesome. Jin Zhongming suddenly spoke again at this time. "After hearing the news yesterday afternoon, I asked people to help me keep an eye on it, and the Blue House and the Film Promotion Committee have all entrusted people, and Vice Minister Lee Byung-soon, who is now actually in charge of daily work, also gave me a promise not to carry out a surprise attack......

Everyone was stunned in unison, and then the old man Jin Donghu couldn't help but pull down his face: "Then why did you call me here?"

"It's up to your old man to listen to the news, and then bridge the differences. Jin Zhongming replied calmly. "In fact, the reason why everyone came here at this time was precisely because the response over there was not very good...... People in the Film Promotion Committee told me that Chairman Chung Jin-ju was called to the Blue House at around 2 p.m., and he hasn't come out yet...... If I'm not mistaken, it's been five hours?"

At this moment, even the old man Jin Donghu was stunned, and for a while, the scene seemed a little stiff.

"It seems that the government will not rest on its laurels. After a while, Lin Quanze narrowed his eyes slightly and took the lead in breaking the deadlock. "But Zhong Ming, even so, do you have to insist on bridging the differences?"

"The more this is the case, the more important it is to try to bridge the differences. Jin Zhongming replied proudly. "Because if the Blue House wants to play the game, it will definitely take advantage of the advantages of the government agencies and then expand the attack area as much as possible. In this case, even if we can hold on and are willing to hold on, we must also be responsible for the Korean filmmakers at the bottom...... Maybe some young directors who have just debuted can't make movies because they don't have government subsidy funds? Maybe some young actors will be turned away by some television stations because of the labels on their bodies? Maybe these people can't pay their rent if they can't find a job for two months? If something really happens, who will be responsible? Shouldn't it be us? Since we are responsible for them, shouldn't we know how to properly seek justice?"

Everyone stared at Jin Zhongming with strange expressions for a while, and then couldn't help but look at Song Kanghao in unison...... This made the latter almost die of shame, but there was nothing to say.

"It's all speculation now. After retracting his gaze from Song Kang-ho, Kim Dong-ho couldn't help but shake his head. "The government can also communicate, maybe things will turn around, we should try to limit the problem to a certain extent......"

"Don't have any illusions anymore!" Li Cangdong suddenly interrupted his old opponent's words. "Whether it is Zhong Ming or Jin Donghu's predecessors, don't have any grievances and seek satisfaction at this time! South Korea's political situation is a typical dog-eat-dog, and there are mad dogs on both sides. Isn't it just yesterday morning? Even the disadvantaged ones, who have a good relationship with us, and even have a formal alliance with us, can give us a chiller. What about the conservative camp that holds power and is not the same as us in the first place? Could it be that they have been discussing for five hours today just to give us a simple warning? Look, they won't leave us any leeway!"

"Wait!" Lin Quanze also shook his head. "Anyway, Zheng Jinzhou can't spend the night at the Blue House. Zhong Ming, you just said that the Film Promotion Committee and the Blue House have arranged people there?"

"Hey, I promise to put theirs ...... plan, the first time to tell you. As he spoke, Jin Zhongming took out two mobile phones from his arms, and then placed them side by side on the table in front of him, attracting everyone's attention.

I have to say that this kind of energy to get information 'the first time' is really scary.

"Then wait!" Lin Quanze shook his head, then closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

The wait was longer than expected, and it was harder than expected. In fact, almost everyone has become different in their minds over time.

Li Yongguan frowned, he is now full of the film festival, because no matter what means the government uses, the film festival will definitely bear the brunt. However, as a smart person, he soon figured out again where the joint was that he had already figured out a long time ago, that is, there were hundreds of people in the executive committee of the Busan Film Festival, and there was no way to communicate rationally, and the government was too strong, and I am afraid that it would not be able to communicate. As the chairman of the committee, he is nothing more than a choice between the government and the executive committee.

It's just that this still needs to be chosen? No matter how ruthless the government is, is it good that they can cut off the film festival's cooking, but can they also break their own cooking? And if they give up the executive committee, will the film festival that they have worked so hard to run for more than ten years still have to do with themselves?

However, Jin Zhongming's attitude is now an important issue, what kind of thoughts does he have in mind, and whether he wants to make peace or fight? It is really difficult for people to see through! However, the other party is the financier of a person like himself, and he can really cut off his own cooking, and he cannot but speculate carelessly.

Old man Jin Donghu was also thinking about things in a daze, after all, he was a retired person, and he was naturally branded by the conservative camp, so he had a little more calmness. According to him, it still depends on the government's determination in this regard, if the determination is not great, then build a bridge according to the wishes of these people to help; but if the government has made up its mind and is ready to make an example of the chickens and monkeys, then he will simply pat his ass and go back to hug his grandson, why sell his life here for a group of bastards who drove him away back then?

And besides, if the government is really ruthless and is ready to get rid of Li Yongguan and Li Cangdong, will he be able to disobey the old man in the future, and someone will have to come out to clean up the situation anyway, right?

Of course, Jin Zhongming seems to be a big trouble, rich and powerful, with him, the government may not be able to clean up Li Yongguan and others, and even if he cleans up the situation in the future, people will have more face than themselves.

So, it's really troublesome!

Li Cangdong and Lin Quanze glanced at each other from a distance, in fact, these two directors who have a generation difference but cooperate tacitly have some subtle differences in their minds.

Lin Quanze is old after all, so he can only be a memorial arch to express his attitude, and he can say it unscrupulously, and it is really hard to say how many people are willing to listen to him when he really starts to do things. Of course, this one doesn't need to care, as long as he sticks to his tough stance and keeps the evening, no one can do anything about him, and it is estimated that the government will have to go around him.

The six-word title of the godfather of Korean cinema was only obtained through several political campaigns against the government.

As for Li Cangdong, he looks smiling, and he comes up to ridicule the old man Jin Donghu, but in fact, he is likely to be the real mainstay of these people today.

First of all, people have status and appeal, not to mention the international reputation brought by their works, and he also served as the minister of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and he was jointly promoted by the cultural circles. Secondly, people are really knowledgeable, as Lu Xun's brainless fan, he has a very clear understanding of the nature of this society, and he never said anything about the religion of South Korea very early, but probably because of the unpleasant experience of the Minister of Culture, the great director also has a clear understanding of the two factions of Korean politics dog eat dog.

So if it really makes a fuss, this big director with a casual expression may give anyone who underestimates the energy of Korean filmmakers a good look!

In comparison, another character with a peaceful mind is really peaceful.

An Shengji, this is really nothing to think about, because he has a good student sitting there, this is not to say that this student will be arbitrary and not leave him some leeway, but he knows his student's energy very well, and the relationship between the two is there, so since the other party wants to do something, he doesn't need to think about anything, and it is enough to follow the knock.

In stark contrast to Ahn Sung-ki's peace is Song Kang-ho, Uncle Cake already feels that his brain has become groggy at this time, and he always feels that things are ...... It shouldn't be like that, right?

Yesterday morning, when he sent the documentary to the executive committee of the Busan Film Festival for review, he still had a pure sense of mission and justice, and the hundreds of film festival executive committee members present also took a firm stand and had an enthusiastic attitude. This gave him the illusion that filmmakers across South Korea would be on his side and charging the government without hesitation.

But after only one day's work, these real bigwigs all turned their faces, all of them sneered, and regarded themselves as beings who caused trouble. What's even more terrifying is that they also kidnapped morality with morality for the serious consequences that may be triggered, what young director can't make a movie, actors can't act, and in the end they can't pay the rent It's all their own pot? !

Of course, Uncle Cake is not a paranoid person, and he vaguely understands in his heart that if that situation really occurs, there is no need for these bigwigs to make any noise, and many people who can't eat will really point the finger at themselves. Otherwise, who else will you look for? Who will make this jump too obvious? But...... Why is this happening? Why did it become your own pot? You just sent a documentary to the film festival, okay?

For a while, Uncle Flatbread was a little puzzled.

Gradually, in the midst of the confusion, many people chose a kind of evasion mentality about the possible situation.

But as the two mobile phones on the table rang one after the other, the evasion became more and more ridiculous.

"The information on the two sides is not much different, and it is basically certain. Jin Zhongming put down his mobile phone and said to everyone expressionlessly. "First of all, the Blue House will not come forward directly, but the Busan Metropolitan Government will come forward and officially ask the film festival to take down the documentary. ”

"This is unacceptable. Li Yong replied directly without thinking about it. "The independence of the festival and the freedom of the subject matter are the most basic iron rules for us!"

"They thought about it too. Jin Zhongming nodded, and then continued. "So they have a follow-up plan. According to their plan, if the festival refuses, the Film Promotion Committee will cut half of the funding for next year's festival, and the Busan Metropolitan Government will withdraw all the funding for this year, from the venue to the funding......"

"This is even more unacceptable!" Unexpectedly, the biggest reaction turned out to be Kim Dong-ho. "It's going to ruin the festival!"

Everyone looked at this old man with a little sympathy, the biggest achievement of his life is this film festival, for him, what political stance, what retirement enjoyment, what is the wall view, all have to be built on the basis of the film festival itself is not too affected.

But now, the government is so crazy and tough that it will smash the festival itself! This is of course even more unacceptable.

Jin Zhongming shook his head, ready to continue.

"Wait a minute, I have a question to ask. At this moment, Uncle Flatbread suddenly interjected. "That's how the Busan Metropolitan Government listens to the Blue House?"

That's a good question, no doubt a good question, the city of Busan is the second largest city in South Korea, and the two major political camps are very competitive in Busan, if not as much as here in Seoul.

Even, even if the conservative camp is now in control of the Busan city government, even if it is in the same camp as the Blue House, and the importance of the position of mayor of Busan, this person is qualified to pull the pole to establish his own mountain. This is like the mayor of Seoul, Park Won-soon, who came to power by Ahn Cheol-so, but now he will really continue to obey Ahn Cheol-so, who is nothing? Come to think of it, the Busan Metropolitan Government must also have its own basic position.

"Definitely listening. Li Yongguan dispelled the other party's illusions with a dark face. "Although Mr. Song Kang-ho is from Busan, he has been in Seoul all the year round and does not know much...... At the time of the Sewol accident, it happened to be the local general election, and Busan had a new mayor, and our new mayor of Busan had a nickname a long time ago, do you know what it is?"

Song Kanghao was silent, he really didn't know.

"Park's loyal dog!" Li Yongguan said to everyone with a straight face. "Seo Byung-so, the alumnus of Sogang University at the Blue House, and the kind of alumni who took the same course, the core of the pro-Park alliance, was able to step into politics because of the Park family...... This kind of person will only increase the amount of instructions from the Blue House, and will never discount them!"

Song Kang-ho's face also darkened.

"What's more, Jin Zhongming will continue on your behalf!" Li Yongguan turned around and gestured to Jin Zhongming.

"And ...... If the Busan Film Festival is still going to hold on, then they will try to use the second measure before the festival opens, specifically sending prosecutors to check the accounts!"

"What do you mean?" Li Yong watched as he watched the battle.

That's what it means literally. Jin Zhongming spread his hands. "There are hundreds of executive committee members of the film festival, and if you have a meeting or something on weekdays, you have to entertain you with accommodation and catering, right?

"And then?" Li Yongguan rarely showed a flaw in his expression, he almost laughed, but instantly retracted it. "What are they going to do after they're done?"

"Then, after learning about the irregularities in some of the festival's accounts, they will directly make them public in order to gain the public's understanding. Jin Zhongming calmly introduced. "Then, we will take the big and let go of the small ones, abandon the law and not hold the public accountable, and further investigate the top members of the executive committee headed by Chairman Li Yongguan, and decide whether it is a prosecution based on the performance of these people...... I'm pretty sure that an acquaintance on the other side of the Blue House mentioned your name directly. ”

"Are you going to send me to prison?" Li Yongguan suddenly laughed again, but this time there was no more hideous expression.

"This is a tear face!" Li Cangdong also corrected the other party with a smile. "To be honest, although I expected it, I still didn't expect the other party to be so tough. ”

"I'm not done yet. Jin Zhongming suddenly laughed along. "They have a third measure, and a fourth that is not very clear. According to the intelligence, if it does not prevent the film from appearing at the film festival in the end, then immediately after, during the release of the film, the government will do a two-pronged approach, on the one hand, buy tickets and lock the venue so that no one can see the film, and on the other hand, let civil conservative groups sue the film's producers in the name of the audience......"

"What charge?" Song Kang-ho couldn't hold back again.

"Committing immoral consumption to the families of the victims violates the basic benign customs of the industry. Jin Zhongming replied calmly. "To be honest, I also think that the families of the victims and the families of the missing will have two very different perspectives on this documentary...... The absence of a body means that things are never over, and when a body is found, some of them want their children to rest in peace, which is human nature. ”

Uncle Flatbread was stunned again, and then immediately became dazed...... How did this justice-seeking film become immoral? Yet, he couldn't refute it.

"What is the fourth possible measure?" Lin Quanze suddenly asked from afar.

"Not so sure. Jin Zhongming replied with a smile. "It is said that the secretary general of the Blue House Secretariat, Kim Ki-chun, is still researching, but judging from the small amount of information they have revealed, it is likely that they will conduct a large-scale screening within the film industry, and then treat them differently, using the method of fighting one faction and pulling the other faction, and encouraging conservative filmmakers to confront progressive filmmakers within the film industry......

"Jin Qichun?" Lin Quanze also laughed. "The old dog...... I should have thought that only that old dog could be so mad!"

Everyone was laughing, and everyone's attitude was kind. In fact, it's a kind of calmness after making up your mind. Because now, everyone understands that the series of measures of the Blue House are not touching everyone's bottom line at all, but are going to destroy everyone's foundation.

Kim Dong-ho will not allow the Busan Film Festival, which he has worked hard for decades, to lose its economic foundation and become a second-rate; Lee Yong-kwan will not allow himself, the dean of the Graduate School of Arts of Chung-Ang University, to be investigated in the name of corruption and then discredited; Song Kang-ho will not allow the producer of this documentary to become the target of moral accusation because of his goodwill help; and Lee Chang-dong and Lim Kwon-taek will not allow the Korean filmmakers they have spent decades to be artificially divided into two factions......

Now, then, there is only one way to go to all-out war.

"Preemptively strike and disrupt their steps!" Li Cangdong nodded to the table and gave an overall response strategy. "And then show these people our toughness and strength. ”

"When I went back, I did my best to promote the documentary. Li Yongguan replied with his head tilted. "Then the accounts will be cleared and they will come and check it, and the Executive Committee will also make a new budget for the festival this year and next. ”

"I also want to stab this matter into international public opinion. Li Cangdong added. "Zhong Ming?"

"I see. Jin Zhongming nodded nonchalantly. "Leave it to me, the United States, China, Japan, and Europe. ”

"I'm going to talk to my old friends from the Ministry of Culture. Jin Donghu also took the initiative. "There are still people who will sell face to this old face, I have to tell them that they can't push the entire Korean movie to the opposite side because of the arbitrariness of some powerful figures, and they can't easily ruin the hard work of generations of filmmakers!"

"I'll go too. Li Cangdong wiped the smooth conference table with his fingers. "If the two of us go together, I'd like to see who in the Ministry of Culture would dare not give us face at the same time, and that would make them understand something. ”

"Then I'll go talk to Advisor Wen too. Song Kanghao said reluctantly. "I will definitely do my best to get a certain commitment for everyone. ”

"There will definitely be commitments, the key is strength. Li Cangdong replied calmly. "Don't look at him now lighting fires everywhere, looking like he is taking the initiative to attack, but in fact he is still at an extreme disadvantage. Besides, he is not the only one in the opposition who runs a chicken farm in Busan, and there is also a person who teaches in Seoul. So if you tell him that his surname is Wen, if he is not willing to give us a satisfactory promise, Zhong Ming will go and ask Professor An to come and sit here...... Anyway, everyone is a professor, and there are more common topics, so maybe we can talk about Lu Xun or something together after the movie. ”

"Yes......" Uncle Flatbread agreed.

"What did Zheng Jinzhou say?" Someone suddenly asked a key question. "This is a key person. As the chairman of the Film Promotion Committee, he is the official representative of the film industry, and he also holds the vast majority of government grants, and he is also a member of the executive committee of the General Federation of Filmmakers and the actual operator of the Daejong Award Organizing Committee...... After all, the Film Promotion Committee was originally the result of a compromise between the government and us in the political movement of the past, and he has a reason to lead the entire Film Promotion Committee to our side. And once he can come over and help, the situation will be completely different!"

Hearing this, many people lowered their heads and thought about it.

"What Min Sik said makes a lot of sense. After a while, An Shengji sighed and took the lead in replying to this suggestion. But the problem is that it has been a long time since Zhong Ming received the call. He received the order and then informed the people within the Film Promotion Committee of these messages, but he never contacted us...... Why? If you have a little thought, even if it's a wall-riding mind, you should talk to us, right?"

"The Film Promotion Committee will be handed over to me and Teacher An Shengji to be in charge!" Jin Zhongming also suddenly spoke. "We have been in business for a long time, and many of us are willing to listen to our opinions, and we can try to influence them...... This time, the willingness of someone to contact me to reveal information is a clear proof of this. As for Chairman Zheng Jinzhou...... Of course, we'll try to get him there. ”

"It's better not to have more illusions than reality. Li Cangdong, as the temporary commander-in-chief here, laughed again. However, Mr. Choi Min-sik's words remind us that from the perspective of the Federation of Filmmakers, we must also be aware of the collective boycott of the Daejong Award...... You don't even need to be conscious, as soon as the Revitalization Committee makes a move, we will directly announce and organize a boycott, and we will beat him up and talk about it!"

"No problem!"

"Yes. ”

"That's how it should be. ”

"If we don't let them feel pain, how can we know our strength?"

"Then it's decided?" After a few seconds, seeing that no one was talking, as the initiator of the meeting, Jin Zhongming naturally asked.

Of course, the crowd understood that this was a question of whether there was anything to be added, and if not, the meeting could be over.

"Of course. Li Cangdong looked around and nodded after seeing that no one continued to speak. "Let's do this first...... If there are twists and turns, we can always get here and discuss it again. ”

"Then it's settled. Jin Zhongming nodded hurriedly. "Do you want to go to dinner together? There's a good rice noodle downstairs. ”

"How can you still have the heart to eat any rice noodles?" the old man Jin Donghu scoffed at this. "It's still too late to go back in Busan, wipe the accounts as soon as possible, and then I don't know who else will stay in Seoul, I just want to go home and eat some hot food now, and then sleep to recuperate, and I have to be busy early tomorrow morning." ”

Not only Jin Donghu, but the others didn't seem to have any intention of staying, so Jin Zhongming could only nod again and again, and then watched everyone in the conference room leave cleanly...... Or maybe it's not so clean.

"Zhong Ming, tell me the truth, did you deliberately make up today's incident?"

Jin Zhongming was slightly stunned, and then put forward a very interesting suggestion: "Do you want to eat rice noodles seniors?"
