Chapter 354 Introduction
Kim Jong-ming finally stayed to help.
In good conscience, he really brought the so-called internationalist spirit to the extreme, because there was no personal reward at all for doing so, and it was purely a matter of suffering and suffering.
Think about it, from late April to mid-May, Kim Jong-ming helped the crew of "Su Yuan" shoot a lot of scenes as a director, and spent a lot of time and energy for this, but only in exchange for all kinds of depression and exhaustion. As for the reputation that this kind of film can bring? To be honest, he is just an assistant director, and if there is any reputation for the film in the future, it will all belong to Li Junyi, so what does it have to do with him? In fact, Kim Jong-ming finally asked Li Junyi not to have much to do, and not to write his name at all when it is released in the future.
By the way, he also inadvertently missed the Baeksang Art Awards for 13 years. You must know that the effect period of "Horror Live" is still there, and the Baeksang Art Awards, which are changing the time everywhere, are vaguely set for mid-May this year, so Kim Jong-ming is still a strong candidate for this year's Baeksang actor, and even Baeksang still has some obvious tendencies...... However, this guy really forgot about such an important thing!
said that at noon that day, Kim Jong-ming finished recording "Three Meals at Three Hours", and then drove directly to Changwon with a belly of strange lunch made by Park So-yeon. And when Su Xiaoya called in the evening, he had just arrived in Changwon, the southeastern tip of South Korea, and he was too late for anything.
And what about the Baeksang Art Awards, no matter how you say it, it is also the oldest and most official award in South Korea, after this faceless gesture is put out, you can't even be a bull fork to stick your cold ass with a hot face, right?
All in all, Jin Zhongming is likely to lose an actor because of this.
However, all this is Kim Jong-ming's own choice, and he probably feels that it is all worth it in his heart, because as Xu Xian said, he has vaguely regarded this movie as a kind of personal bottom line. And the bottom line is the bottom line, if you can't let it go, you can't let it go, Li Junyi doesn't say it, since he has made such a request, how about helping to do it and seeking inner stability?
And the actor or something, does he really care? For Jin Zhongming today, peace of mind is a luxury.
Of course, with the closing of the Baeksang Art Awards, Kim Jong-ming has actually finished the task assigned to him by Li Junyi, and while letting go of his psychological baggage, he naturally has the heart to express a little bit about this matter.
"Wood, Wood, where are we going?" asked Zheng Ermao, the time was noon on May 19, 2013, and the location was the recording site of "Three Hours and Three Meals", which had just finished the recording of the hottest variety show, and Zheng Ermao, who came to eat as a visitor, had just walked out of the house with Chu Long carrying a bag.
"Anyway, don't go to MBC. Jin Zhongming was standing in the potato field in the distance, checking the calls and text messages from the previous day and night, and gave the other party a critical blow without raising his head after hearing the question.
The audience burst into laughter, and Krystal was immediately puffed up with anger, because Kim Jong-myung's words were hard not to be reminiscent of MBC's current hottest variety show "Dad, Where Are We Going".
You must know that the episodes of this popular program in May were also recorded in Gangwon Province, and today, Sunday, after going back, it should be able to hit the broadcast of this program, and more importantly, the ratings of this program are currently firmly on the ultra-high line of 15%, and it is the only program that surpasses "Three Hours and Three Meals...... Of course, "Three Hours and Three Meals" is a cable variety show, and the former is a variety show of TVB, which cannot be compared.
In short, almost everyone at the scene could understand the jokes of the brother and sister, and it seemed that Kim Jong-ming was still in a good mood.
"Wood, I'll tell my mom about this. Krystal was speechless, but he could only think of the way home to find the adult.
But then again, it seems quite reasonable to ask the elders for support this time.
"Whatever. Jin Zhongming quickly put away his mobile phone, and then walked over to the courtyard. "I happened to make an appointment to go to my mother's café, and if you want to sue, it's quite a good stop......"
"Aren't you going to eat first?" Chu Long hurriedly interrupted, anyway, she felt that Jin Zhongming's joke was too much, and if Krystal really poked this joke out from the elders, Jin Zhongming would have to eat and hang up.
"yes, let's go eat first, Wood. Krystal was so excited when he heard this word that he forgot about the loss he had just suffered. "Go to the Chinese restaurant in Apguting, I want to eat roasted fish......"
Before he finished speaking, the three people who had been gathered together in the courtyard changed color together, and it turned out that at this moment, Park Zhaoyan, who was left last because of the hard work of shabu-shabu, had already appeared at the door of the house...... She should be very sensitive to this topic.
"It doesn't matter. Park So-yeon let out a dry laugh as she locked the door. "Actually, I'm hungry too, let's go back to Seoul to eat grilled fish, I know I've messed up my lunch again, I shouldn't have burned fish but I can't clean the scales, but I'll study it carefully this week......"
Several people were speechless immediately, but the people in the program team couldn't help laughing, Park Zhaoyan's obsession and her various fancy recipes have become the main highlight of the show.
In this way, several assistants, including Su Xiaoya, left directly as instructed, and then Krystal drove, Park Zhaoyan sat in the co-pilot, Kim Jong-myung and Chu Long sat in the back seat, and then the electric sports car sped all the way from Gangwon Province to Seoul.
And then...... Then the car was blocked at Guanghua Gate.
"Why is there a traffic jam in the afternoon?" Krystal was speechless.
"What's going on up ahead?"
"How can there be police?" Chu Long and Zhao Yan were also shocked.
"It's someone who is demonstrating. Krystal narrowed his eyes and looked at it for a moment, then gave an answer that wasn't the answer. "There are only a few people, why are there road closures for this demonstration, and there are police?"
Jin Zhongming was also speechless, and quickly took out his mobile phone to search for keywords on the Internet, but he didn't find the news, it seems that the matter is indeed an emergency...... However, after staying up for twenty or thirty minutes, as the police dispersed and the traffic resumed, there was finally movement on the Internet.
"It's a modern employee. Chu Long looked at the phone screen and explained. "It was said that the employees of Hyundai suddenly came here to demand that the government arrest their boss, and because they did not report it and threw paint on the statue of King Sejong, they clashed with the police......
"If you protest, you won't be like the King of Sejong throwing paint, right?" Zhao Yan couldn't help but ask back. "Isn't there such a protest every day, and modern trade unions also go on strike every year, right?"
"It's not clear. Chu Long flipped through the news on his phone, and couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.
"Understandable. "It's the same news, and it's the same news, but as a knowledgeable person, Kim Jong-ming gets a lot more information from reading between the lines. "Looking at the description of this news, it should be that Hyundai cheated these employees, probably to save money or something, the company did not sign a formal contract with these people at the beginning, and was recruited as non-regular employees, and then found a reason to fire these people before the regularization period stipulated by law......
"That's too much. Zhao Yan understood a little. "These people must have worked very hard in order to become regulars, but they were fired at the last minute, which is equivalent to working for nothing, no wonder it is so intense. ”
Chu Long also nodded sympathetically: "Recently, there have been too many things about this kind of non-regular employees, and SK also made such a thing before." ”
"That's understandable. Krystal, who had restarted the car, seemed to remember something. "I read the popular comic "Veteran" on the Internet a few days ago, and the cause of the incident was the sudden dismissal of non-regular employees by a large company?"
No one paid attention to her, as if she was the only one who had read the cartoon, and Krystal had no choice but to drive seriously in the slow-moving traffic.
However, at this moment, Jin Zhongming couldn't help but sigh when he turned his head to stare out the window.
"Why are you sighing?" Chu Long asked immediately.
"What is Zhong Ming thinking?" Park Zhaoyan asked, although she didn't look back, she also stared in the rearview mirror.
Zheng Ermao in the driver's seat couldn't help but pout, no one paid attention to his words, but someone sighed but everyone cared about it, this treatment gap ......
"I'm thinking about the South Korean commander in the Blue House behind me, she has only been in power for a few months, and her life is not easy!" Kim Jong-ming was also direct.
"What's so bad about that. Before the other two could speak, Krystal, who was driving, immediately interjected. "Our president has taken both CJ and SK presidents to court at the same time, and both presidents have a tendency to give in, so with her current power, the Hyundai side should be scared, right? This kind of thing may be resolved as long as the president speaks a word......
Jin Zhongming didn't say a word, just continued to stare out the window, as if he was out of a trance, and he didn't know that he thought he was being stunned by Krystal. However, others don't know how the three people in the car can't understand that the brother and sister are on the hook, and Kim Jong Ming obviously disdains to refute Krystal.
"Wood. Krystal was a little dissatisfied. "What are you thinking? If I don't say it right, just tell me, what's this?"
"In fact, I am just lamenting the difficulty of the superiors, and I don't mean to ignore you. Jin Zhongming seemed to come back to his senses, but he didn't withdraw his gaze from the car window. "Actually, you're right, our President Park is gaining momentum, but the so-called personal power is only personal power after all, and it is impossible for a superior person to solve the problem by relying only on personal authority, at least she can't use this to deal with the big problem of labor relations and the overall decline of South Korea's manufacturing industry...... Besides, the president never has the final say on the big things in this country. ”
"Then who has the final say?" Krystal seemed to be bullish, but Jin Zhongming knew that the girl should have softened after she gave a step in the call.
"Who knows?" Kim Jong-ming, who had calmed his sister's emotions, was a little emotionally lost, and he didn't bother to talk about the topic after he withdrew his eyes from the U.S. Embassy and the chaebol buildings outside the car window.
The car drove all the way to Apguting, but Jin Zhongming had to take the first step...... After all, the car was delayed, and he had already made an appointment at Zheng's mother's café, so if he wanted to go to dinner, he couldn't control the time. And after a little discussion, Chu Long and Zhao Yan were ready to wait for Jin Zhongming to meet the man before going to eat together, and it was time to have dinner, although Krystal was dissatisfied again, but he couldn't get past these two people at all, so he had to go to his mother's café with the three of them.
When they arrived at the café, the three of them immediately understood what was going on...... Without him, Kim Jong-ming actually met a reporter from the "Korea Financial News" here.
That's right, I met the reporter by chance, in the afternoon when a café had the fewest customers, and he was also the reporter of the entertainment edition of the "Korea Financial News" with whom he had the best relationship, and the reporter came out for coffee and Nima brought a voice recorder.
"I really chose not to go to the Baeksang site. In the corner of the café, seeing the three girls who came together with Zheng's mother and a few part-time waiters chatting quietly at the counter, Jin Zhongming, who had calmed down, immediately opened the topic with the reporter in front of him. "It's actually very well thought out. ”
"Thoughtful?" the reporter who came with the editor-in-chief's instructions looked a little dazed, after all, it didn't feel right to hear this, but he continued with great ethics. "But Mr. Jin Zhongming, there are some things that cannot be dispelled by careful consideration...... As far as I know, this Baeksang Art Awards, first of all, you are the favorite actor, and even before the opening, many media thought that you were the best actor this time. And more importantly, you officially accepted Baeksang Invitation, and the final result is known to everyone, but you didn't show up at all, so many people, including the audience, said that you were belittling the Baeksang Art Awards, which has a long history and tradition......"
"How is this possible?" Jin Zhongming quickly shook his head. "I am the youngest winner of the Grand Prix and I have always been grateful to the Baeksang Art Awards and the relevant organizing committee, so how can I despise them?"
"But you didn't go, and you missed your appointment. ”
"So it needs to be explained. Jin Zhongming said with a serious face. "First of all, of course, I want to apologize for the no-show, and secondly, I want to say what I thought about that day...... In fact, what I said was thoughtful, mainly considering that when I was awarded the Blue Dragon Award before, I had already won the best actor once with "Horror Live"!"
The reporter couldn't help but be stunned, and he almost didn't even hold the recorder...... After all, how does this feel a little panicking?
"This kind of thinking has been around for a long time. Jin Zhongming hugged his arms and continued to preach seriously. "But after leaving the recording site of "Three Hours and Three Meals" that day, this idea is particularly strong, and I always feel that if I rely on the previous film to win the award for the second time, it will be okay not to win the award, if I win, it will make me feel a little unhappy!"
The reporter of "Korea Financial News" carefully went through this sentence twice in his mind before he dared to determine what the other party meant: "Does Mr. Kim Jong-myung mean that all your future films, regardless of victory or defeat, will only participate in the award once?"
That's what it means. Kim Jong Ming smiled. "Of course, limited to three grand prizes. ”
The reporter didn't know how to proceed for a while.
To tell the truth, the reply given by Jin Zhongming certainly seemed high-spirited, and the absence of Baeksang this time naturally had a perfect explanation. Moreover, if this guy can really continue to do it in this way, then his reputation will definitely rise to a new level in the future.
However, this reporter knows very well that there are actually two obvious problems hidden in the other party's reply, which are so obvious that it is absolutely impossible for Jin Zhongming himself not to think about it in advance.
First of all, no matter what, three chances to win the award will always be a lot less honor, today open your mouth and shut up a sentence came out, when the time comes, are you really distressed? Are you sure you can persevere?
But that's okay, because that's a matter of Kim Jong-ming's personal choice and personal perseverance.
Therefore, the real problem is secondly, that is, Kim Jong-myung's statement is not only self-abuse, but also a sinner! And it is the core figures of Korean films who are more qualified than him and are also very competitive!
It is conceivable that after these words are said, just saying that the male actors are good, the young actors who want to stand out and have fierce competition will of course be secretly happy in their hearts, because Kim Jong-ming actually took the initiative to give up the opportunity! But what about those who are in the right year? What about those actors who have won a lot of honors by sweeping? For the actors in the right year, how can they deal with themselves with such a high style and bright festival? For those old-timers, are you doing this in disguise to depreciate the honor we have got? The most direct example, what would your teacher An Shengji think? How many of his so many actors were exchanged for the so-called 'sweep', have you calculated?
Actually, this idea mainly came from Mr. An Shengji. Just when the reporter didn't know how to continue, Jin Zhongming took the initiative to continue, and he just used his teacher as an example.
"This ......" the reporter felt a little dry.
"I don't know if I have mentioned it to the outside world, I once mentioned to him a somewhat arrogant agreement when I was apprenticed to Mr. An Shengji, that is, I promise to get more actor trophies than him in my lifetime......" Jin Zhongming squinted his eyes and looked at the sunset on the glass window, as if he was reminiscing about his golden years.
"Hmm...... Huh?" the reporter reacted a little.
"Now that I think about it, I really didn't know the height of the sky at that time, but time has passed, and I see that I already have some capital to discuss this matter publicly, but I don't have enough heart to swallow the elephant. ”
"What do you mean......?" The reporter's eyes lit up a little, and he vaguely reacted, this is indeed a perfect excuse, and confined the matter to personal reasons such as the bond between teachers and students, which can naturally give everyone else a step.
"When a student always has to bring forth the new, right?" Jin Zhongming showed a little hesitation, and his words became eloquent. "The times are progressing, what was the Korean film market like in Mr. Ahn Sung-ki's time, and what is it like now, is it the same thing? At that time, it was rare for a teacher to have several excellent works a year, so it was too normal for a good work to be 'swept' after it came out, and even his kind of 'sweep' had a special significance of boosting and inspiring morale, which was a task entrusted to him by the times. And back in front of me, I, who am a student, am in such a completely different environment, the Korean film market is becoming more and more mature, and it can even be called an explosive state, and there are so many outstanding and young actors around, in fact, it is extremely difficult to win awards for a whole year with a work at this time!"
The reporter, who had thoroughly understood the meaning of the other party, hurriedly nodded in agreement.
"So, instead of competing with those powerful peers in multiple rounds with little chance of winning, it's better to set a limit for yourself in advance. Of course, if you do this, it is actually a slightly opportunistic behavior, after all, if you do this for a long time, the organizing committee will also consider my behavior and habits when judging. ”
The reporter smiled in agreement, but couldn't help but admire the other party a little...... Because the other party could not have said this kind of thing, but really saying it really made him admire the other party's pride, and also made him believe that the other party had the perseverance to fulfill his promise.
"Anyway, that's it. Jin Zhongming concluded. "I didn't go to the Baeksang scene, I really can't stand the audience and fans, and I'm also sorry for the Baeksang organizing committee. And behind this behavior, a young man's slightly exuberant self-esteem is at work. As for the appearance of this self-esteem, it is because of a little story about the young man's private and a teacher who is so powerful that a shadow hangs over his head...... I hope you understand. ”
"I see. The reporter was completely relaxed. "I think the audience, peers, and everyone should understand Mr. Kim Jong-myung...... But since you talk about this topic, do you have any ideas for a new work? Our newspaper has noticed that your film and television production company and entertainment television station have been active recently, and have invested a lot of money and energy, and then have been producing several works at the same time, but we have not seen your name appear in the work. ”
"This ...... Investment is a business behavior, which should be counted on the enterprise, while an individual's acting decision is a personal decision, and there is no direct relationship between the two. Jin Zhongming could only say it so stubbornly. "What's more important is that I haven't encountered a suitable script for the past six months......"
"Do you have any specific ideas?" Now that the task assigned by the above has been completed, the reporter naturally began to be casual, and asked questions about what an entertainment reporter should ask. "For example, interested in a particular genre of film or character?"
"Hey. Jin Zhongming suddenly came to his senses. "Recently, I have been bullying female artists every day in variety shows, which feels quite enjoyable, and it is said that it has been notorious, so I have been thinking about whether to play a villain who bullies women......"
"Oh...... Oh?!"
“……”
“……”
The interview got better and better, and it didn't end until it got dark.
"Wood, come on. After Jin Zhongming sent off the reporter, as soon as he turned around, he was beckoned to the counter by Zheng's mother. "Something to ask you. ”
"Yes. "This has a call, Jin Zhongming can't pretend to be thirteen no matter what. "Something happened to my mother, did Ermao talk nonsense to you?"
Krystal immediately grimaced.
"I heard you say just now that you really want to play a villain?" Mother Zheng ignored the quarrel between the two siblings, and after hesitating for a moment, she asked a question that caught Jin Zhongming a little off guard. "Isn't it a bit casual to tell the media about things that don't have a shadow yet?"
Jin Zhongming was stunned, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.
"What's the matter?" asked Zheng's mother, puzzled.
"Hey. Jin Zhongming smiled slightly awkwardly. "It's nothing, I thought you would tell me that a movie only participates in one award, and I'm ready to say it, but I didn't expect you to say this. ”
"You're thinking too much. Zheng's mother shook her head. "That kind of thing is indeed more important, but the more it is so, the more it shows that you have thought deeply before telling the reporter, and our principle has always been that the bigger the matter, the more you don't bother to ask about it...... It's about playing a negative role, haven't you thought that doing so would affect your image?"
"Don't worry, Mom. Jin Zhongming was immediately relieved after listening to the other party's explanation, and officially gave an explanation. "I've long passed the period when I needed a screen image to create a personal image, and now Kim Jong Ming is Kim Jong Ming, that's all, don't worry. ”
Mother Zheng nodded when she heard this, and she didn't pursue anything more, after all, she originally asked casually, and what she wanted was this kind of reply, as long as the other party was not negligent...... In other words, the older the children get, the less it will be her turn to worry about. In fact, if life hadn't become more and more boring, how could she have come to open this café?
In this way, seeing that the other party did not mean to speak again, and the other two girls except Ermao had always been a little cautious in front of him, Jin Zhongming immediately proposed to take the three girls to eat together. After all, from yesterday to now, he has been doing a show for a day and a night in Gangwon Province, and he can't eat well, and at this time, the matter is over, and he does feel a little tired and hungry.
"Then let's go play. Of course, Zheng's mother also understands that young people can't let go in front of themselves. "But if you have to go to a nightclub after eating, you have to take care of Ermao and let her drink less......"
"Peace of mind. Jin Zhongming hurriedly nodded in agreement. "I just want to go to dinner right now, and I really don't mean to play......"
"There's no need to take yourself too seriously on the big weekend. Zheng's mother was extraordinarily tolerant. "It's okay to relax, now I don't even bother to care about Maomao, let alone you? ”
Kim Jong-ming was noncommittal.
"That's right, Wood. Just when the four of them packed up their things and said goodbye and left, Zheng's mother suddenly remembered something again, and immediately opened her mouth a little casually. "Speaking of Maomao, have you checked the investment project with someone she has been doing recently?"
As soon as these words came out, the three girls were fine, but Jin Zhongming immediately squinted his eyes and turned his head.
PS: The state is very bad, whether you believe it or not, this excessive chapter has actually been written four or five times, near the end, the more I want to write better, the more embarrassed I feel, and then I am in a hurry, so that the inside of the nasal cavity is swollen, and the outside is good, but it hurts to breathe, and the nostrils are even more collapsed...... It feels like people are going to be wasted.
