Chapter 350: Seo Hyun's Social and Kim Jong Myeong's Movie (Part I) (How many in one, you guess?)
The Korean entertainment industry has entered a state of rapid prosperity.
There are many incentives for this, the stability of the current situation is on the one hand, the support of the old and new governments is on the other hand, the general environment of China and South Korea has improved, and the market expansion is a direct booster, and the copyrights of various programs, especially the copyrights of variety shows, are sold at sky-high prices, so as not to smash the Korean entertainment industry.
In this case, whether it is Jang Dongjian and others being hidden in the snow or the director of KBS TV being set aside by the 'supervisors' of the Blue House, it actually seems that it does not matter, because the opportunity to make money is right in front of you, and this is the root of everything. In fact, in this environment, even MBC did not strike, but just made a PD joint signature against the new director Kim Jong Kook, which simply fell through everyone's glasses, let alone others?
Of course, Kim Jong Kook did not dare to speak out or retaliate, because the Chinese copyright of variety shows such as "Infinite Challenge" is already in the agreement...... If he really provokes that group of PDs and then spoils the business, in the nine-member committee, whether it is the president, the opposition party, or the ruling party, I am afraid that he will not be spared!
And this seems to prove Jin Zhongming's previous statement from the side, the economy is everything, and for the sake of money, everyone will instinctively maintain this good situation.
In short, it is in this good situation that the fire is cooking oil and flowers, the number one person in the Korean entertainment industry, the so-called Kakao rumors, it is often rumored that Kim Jong-ming, the big boss of the Korean entertainment industry, suddenly came to Dongguo University.
"Maybe my understanding is not what you think...... But in my opinion, whether it is a director or an actor, it is only one of the necessary conditions for a work, the script, the investment guarantee, the market environment, and the level of the film industry, each of which plays no less than the role of the director and actors. In fact, I think the reason why actors and directors look bright, and why each work is the first to be watched by people as soon as it enters the public eye, is only because actors are at the forefront of the industry, and directors are at the point where the lines of this industry are summarized! In other words, the reason why these two professions attract everyone's attention is more because of the characteristics of their professions than because of their own weight. It's as if people in the directing department always like to write their own scripts, not necessarily because of interest, but because within the framework of Korean television, screenwriting is the profession that summarizes the internal lines of the industry...... As for the so-called star actors and star directors, that's another topic, President Li Xiuman of the company came over and told you how to make his operation popular......"
Naturally, it was Kim Jong-myung who spoke on the evening of April 19 at the main auditorium of the main campus of Namsan Main Campus in Seoul, Dongguk University, where he came to attend his charity ceremony of 10 billion won a year in one university building.
To tell the truth, Jin Zhongming didn't expect Dongguo University to give face like this, not only did no one hold him accountable for the matter of the slug university, but he was extremely enthusiastic, and the donation ceremony in the morning was very grand, not to mention, but more importantly, the backstage was exhausted, from the monks of Cao Xizong to the administrative officials of the school, almost no one was pulled.
In the afternoon, the people of Dongguk University even dragged him to hold a meeting in the school auditorium and other things, and the university's most famous college, that is, the Graduate School of Cinema and Film and Television Arts, where the theater performance and film and television arts are located, almost poured out. And the students were just as enthusiastic, neither throwing shoes at him nor pulling banners at him...... Well, perhaps, someone like Xu Xian who can hold a year's grudge is the real minority. However, when Jin Zhongming found that a familiar figure also appeared in the corner of the audience, he felt that he had a little villain's heart.
"Well, well, thank you Mr. Jin Zhongming for his wonderful explanation at the end, in my opinion, although his words are good words, but in fact, they are still unfinished. Obviously, Mr. Jin wants to exhort you to guard against arrogance and rashness, but considering that everyone is young and vigorous, and he doesn't want to discourage everyone's enthusiasm too much, he doesn't want to say more...... Of course, when we get back to the classroom, we professors will tell you about it, and that's our responsibility. Finally, the moderator of the meeting in the afternoon, who is also a professor at the Graduate School of Imaging of Dongguk University, is called Park Yong-hwan.
In other words, this name is certainly the most common name in Korea, and he himself is not a well-known professor, but in fact, Professor Park is not only clear and eloquent, sober-minded, but more importantly, he is also very young.
The so-called only thirty-seven or eighteen got the title of associate professor, which is remarkable in South Korea.
Of course, it was because of this that he had the opportunity to be the host. Dongguo University made a special explanation at lunch, saying that it was mainly due to the fact that Jin Zhongming himself was too young and needed a person with the right number to talk to him, so the youngest associate professor went up to partner with him...... Even so, one of the vice presidents in charge of teaching and learning at the University sat down in the audience and showed respect.
"It's already evening, and there is a dinner party in the evening, and Representative Jin Zhongming is here with him, right?" As soon as I finished the meeting, I took a photo with a few students in the front row, and the vice president of Dongguo University, who had been staring at the meeting, squeezed over again.
"It's already noisy at noon. Jin Zhongming smiled and decided to quit, after all, he had been smirking for a day, and he was really tired. "It's really embarrassing at night. β
"Out of the way. "This vice principal also has a discernment, and at a glance he can understand whether it is a real resignation or a fake politeness. "In that case, I won't bother Representative Jin Zhongming, I'm tired of you today......"
"Hey, thank you, it's me who should thank you......"
In this way, the two sides were a little polite, even if it was a peaceful end to such a thing...... I have to admit that the reason why Korean monks have such a big industry is that they still have their own uniqueness.
However, some things are prevaricated, and some are not...... After taking a photo with a few enthusiastic students or something, Jin Zhongming was just about to leave on his own, but was stopped by another person.
"What's wrong?" Jin Zhongming could see at a glance that Xu Xian was actually a little unhappy, but he was hiding it deeply.
"I have a few classmates who want to ask oppa if you have time to ......," Xu Xian replied a little sullenly. "Can we eat together in the evening?"
Jin Zhongming followed the other party's gaze, and sure enough, he saw three female students waiting in the far corner of the auditorium, looking anxious and expectant.
"I'll have to ask you. After retracting his gaze, Jin Zhongming immediately smiled. "You say I have time, I naturally have time, you say I don't have time, I naturally don't have time, but you are like this, I don't know if I have time or not......"
"Then there will be time!" Xu Xian looked back at his classmates. "Actually, they are all classmates who get along well on weekdays, not just came here with a shy face today, there is a junior in the entertainment industry who debuted and a senior in school...... Confused...... Anyway, I don't want to get too stiff. β
Kim Jong Ming smiled but did not speak.
"Is Representative Kim Jong-myung going to have dinner with Seo Hyun?" It is strange to say, the professor Park Yonghuan on the side was already about to pack up his things and leave when he saw that the end of the field, but after glancing at the group of female students waiting in the distance, he took the initiative to join in.
"Professor Park hasn't eaten either, has he?" Xu Xian's eyes suddenly lit up. "Come along, don't save me money for this oppa!"
Park Yonghuan nodded immediately, and agreed very neatly.
Jin Zhongming looked at the two of them, his heart moved slightly, but he still smiled and said nothing.
said that there was no need to save Kim Jong-ming money, but in fact, Xu Hyun still set dinner at the Namsan campus in Seoul, where Dongguo University is located, and the dishes she arranged were very simple and casual...... It can be seen that this girl is also mature and understands some subtle human feelings, after all, it doesn't matter how casual the food is if Jin Zhongming is there, but if the place is too disjointed, it is easy to cause pressure on a few female classmates.
People will grow up.
However, the kindness of the busy person didn't seem to have any effect, probably because a professor was suddenly added in, and the atmosphere at the dinner table has always been very dull, and several topics have been raised, but they are all dangling back and forth between Professor Park Yonghuan and Kim Jong-myeong, making it the same as the previous meeting...... The board is neat, but there is nothing to say.
To be honest, the atmosphere is out of place, considering it's a dinner table and not a school auditorium. So, in order to take care of the psychology of his classmates, Xu Xian, who is theoretically the middleman and should actually be the core of the interpersonal relationship at this dinner table, is not easy to talk about.
"Waiter, please add four desserts...... Do you have any favorite sweets?" After saying something, Jin Zhongming suddenly greeted the waiters for a few girls, obviously wanting to change the atmosphere. "Pick your own. β
"I've been a little fat lately, and the company has been telling me not to eat sweets. Before the others could speak, Xu Xian hurriedly waved his hand. "Oppa, let's call one less. β
"Then I'll eat. Jin Zhongming was completely unimpressed. "I saw pumpkin muffins on the menu before, bring me a ......"
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the three Dongguo University girls who had collapsed very tightly before also ordered a dessert one after another, and after the dessert was served, the atmosphere on the table was obviously much more relaxed.
"Mr. Kim Jong-myung is really level, it seems that he is very good at coaxing girls to be happy on weekdays, right?" Professor Park Yong-hwan glanced at the three girls, and then picked up his teacup with a smile.
"I'm really used to it. Jin Zhongming frowned slightly, but immediately hid his brows and changed back to the smile just now. "Since I was a child, I took the two in my family to run around, they are not polite, and when they don't consider their figure, they will definitely order sweets halfway, and it becomes a habit to come and go. β
"I see. β
"Actually, Zhong Ming's oppa is used to more than just those two people?" Xu Xian interjected a fair sentence. "When I was a trainee, the company was tight and strict, and everyone only had food in their eyes, and at that time, OPPA basically didn't lack a little money, everyone looked for him as soon as they got food, and then hula a lot of girls ......"
"I see. Park Yonghuan nodded again, but it was still the same sentence.
"Speaking of this......" At this moment, a girl who had never found a chance finally held her breath and spoke. "Representative Kim Jong-ming doesn't need to worry about his weight and body and the like? The actor's body control is also very strict, right?"
"It's nature. Jin Zhongming smiled and nodded. "But there are no movies recently, two variety shows, one eats and one runs, and there is no requirement for this. β
"I'm afraid it's not just that I didn't ask for it, right? I watched both programs, and I always felt that it was right for my seniors to eat more. Another girl also answered with a smile. ""RunningMan" requires physical strength, not to mention, and in "Three Hours and Three Meals", since the first day of cooking problems, I feel that Park So-yeon's seniors seem to be a little crazy, and they can always make some strange dishes under an inexplicable heart, and the seniors work hard to help her 'deal with the aftermath' every time......"
Kim Jong Ming smiled but did not speak.
In other words, the girl who spoke was surnamed Park, and she was the junior in the entertainment industry who Xu Xian said, but at the same time, she was a senior in Dongguk University, one year older than Xu Xian, and one level older, and she was a student majoring in drama performance. And what is more worth mentioning is that Jin Zhongming has long noticed that this person is obviously more outstanding than the other two, this outstanding not only refers to a more beautiful face and a better figure, after all, although there is no impression, but the young girl who can debut must have hard conditions...... This standout actually means that she has no stage fright and has an impeccable performance at the table. You know, the two girls next to him, one was nervous and didn't dare to speak, the other was nervous and didn't dare to touch anything at all, plus Xu Xian was a little sullen, and Professor Park had been talking about something very serious with his face, but it showed off the naturalness and excellence of this girl surnamed Park.
"That's ......," another girl who had been eating also took the opportunity to interject. "But Mr. Jin Zhongming is very good at everything, not to mention that the copyright of "RunningMan" is sold at a sky-high price, and if it goes on like this, "Three Hours and Three Meals" will also break the cable variety show ratings record of "Grandpa Over Flowers"!"
"Speak with a conscience. Jin Zhongming shook his head with a smile this time. ""Three Hours and Three Meals" can break the record if I am replaced by someone else, because the core of the success of this variety show lies in Luo Yingshi PD and his team. As for the rest, including me, as well as Sister Zhaoyan and Chu Long, and even to the TV station, they can only be said to have passed the performance, at least the point of driving the ratings is not on us......"
"Isn't Luo Yingshi's PD also working for Representative Jin Zhongming?" Professor Park praised in a rare and serious manner. "Without your openness and serious involvement as a boss, Luo PD would not have been able to unleash this potential...... As far as I know, TVN is one of the few industries that Kim Jong-myung directly controls, right?"
"I really envy Miss Park So-yeon and Miss Park Chu-long. The girl surnamed Pu couldn't help but interject, it seemed a little direct, but in terms of her identity, it was easy to understand, plus she had been behaving well before, so it was really difficult for people to be dissatisfied with this kind of talk.
But Jin Zhongming smiled slightly, but he didn't reply to the other party, which obviously disappointed this classmate Park.
"Luo Yingshi PD has a filmmaker's quality. At this moment, Professor Park Yong-hwan suddenly continued the topic with a straight face. "That variety show is so popular, I also watched it, I think Mr. Kim Jong Ming said something in the first episode is too right, although it is a bit of a joke, but it is true...... With the mature development of Hallyu variety shows, there are nothing more than two ways, one is the drama performance of Kim Tae-yong's PD, and the other is the realization of Luo Yingshi's PD's documentary! This summary is very incisive, Luo Yingshi's PD is no worse than some of the current messy film directors, it's just a name!"
"Is it possible to invite him to come to Dongguo University as a professor?" Jin Zhongming asked with a smile.
"That's how it should be. Park Yonghuan replied with a straight face. "No matter how much you talk about it, Luo PD is always better than a film director like me who has only made short films and commercials. In fact, there are more than 1,600 people with the title of full and associate professor at Dongguk University, and there are more than 400 people in our graduate school of imaging, and there are only a few people like me who have only made commercials......
"There are those who specialize in the art industry. Jin Zhongming chuckled softly. "Even though it's a graduate school of imaging, it doesn't necessarily mean that everyone has those experiences......"
"That's right. Park Yonghuan immediately stopped talking, but he didn't mean to take the opportunity to complain. "After all, a professor is an educational profession, not a practitioner in the industry, and the nature of the two is completely different, but because there are often situations where some directors and directors teach well, it seems that the two are the same...... This is the same topic as what we talked about in the auditorium in the afternoon, some actors act and you become popular stars, which seems to be the same, but in fact, actors and popular stars are two completely different concepts, but it is too easy to appear a combination of the two, so it will be misunderstood!"
Professor Park has a point. For this kind of politically correct old-fashioned remarks, Kim Jong-ming of course praised repeatedly.
"Speaking of this topic. At this time, the girl surnamed Park from the drama performance department had already recovered from the blow of the failed test just now, and then naturally participated in this topic. "When I was in the auditorium before, I listened to the professor say, senior, you actually have unfinished talking, what is going on? Why are stars and actors not the same thing? To be honest, I was admitted to university before I made my debut, so what is my understanding of this aspect...... How can I say that? I heard the words of the two of you in a fog. β
"It's not the same thing either. Jin Zhongming looked at the other party with interest. In fact, the classification of actors and stars has become very indifferent these days, plus the so-called noun concept has always been judged based on cognition, and when everyone in the whole society feels that the actor is a star, it doesn't matter if there is such a distinction. And when Professor Park and I talk about this, we have a sense of being outdated and outdated. β
"That's right. Park Yonghuan nodded. "Actually, although Mr. Jin Zhongming and I emphasized this point in the afternoon, it does not mean that this is a wise saying or an immutable concept. I talk a lot, but I'm just a little worried because you young people are too obsessed with the pursuit of so-called overnight success and often ignore acting...... Of course, having said that, I still have to say that although this perception is becoming more and more confusing, mainstream actors still value these differences, popular stars are popular stars, and actors are actors, right, Mr. Kim Jong-myeong?"
"It's nature. Jin Zhongming seemed to have come back from his stunned thoughts, and said perfunctorily.
"Listening to the professor and Mr. Jin Zhongming say so much, why do you still feel a little incomprehensible? Since it is a concept, how can it be indifferent and still the mainstream?" Saying that, the female student of the acting department couldn't help but smile ashamedly, and such a smile really looks very beautiful, with that extraordinarily outstanding figure, Jin Zhongming's heart will inevitably move, and it is no wonder that this Professor Park will insist on following to protect him.
"In fact, it is not impossible to take a median value with a discount. After retracting his mind, Jin Zhongming smiled slightly. "You can divide the actors of this year into those who eat by acting skills and those who eat by popularity, so that it is simple and clear......"
"Definitely. The eyes of the beautiful woman in the acting department lit up slightly, but after glancing at the popular idol Seo Hyun next to her, she seemed to realize something, and immediately regained her expression.
However, it is now clearly the latter of the two that is more favored. Park Yonghuan, as Xu Xian's teacher, naturally didn't have to care about this concern, so he took it and talked about it in a grand manner. "In some movies and TV series, I would rather use young actors who have no acting skills but are outstanding, rather than use unknown actors who are willing to polish their acting skills...... In fact, this is not enough, after all, film and television dramas need people to drive the topic in the early stage, or to use a fashionable phrase, someone needs to start driving traffic, which is also a kind of ability, and it is reasonable to eat with this. β
This is very reasonable, and it is very convincing to the popular idol Xu Xian, so this young man couldn't help but nod his head again and again.
"But what is really worrying is that there is too much difference between the remuneration of the so-called traffic manager and the acting director. After appeasing Seo Hyun, Park Yonghuan changed his words, but he did not hesitate to criticize the status quo of the entertainment industry. "The traffic manager can be exchanged for a high income, so the acting director should also get the same income after playing the same role, right? But in fact, all the glamour and money are divided by those popular artists, and even now the TV station pays according to the popularity grade......
The three girls at the table nodded together in agreement, and although Xu Xian felt a little stabbed, it was difficult to refute, and it was not easy to refute anything to the teacher, so he could only bow his head and remain silent.
"That's a no-brainer. After seeing this scene, Kim Jong-ming, who had always been a little perfunctory to Park Yong-hwan, shook his head with a rare smile. "To be honest, this so-called 'little fresh meat' atmosphere is naturally inconsistent with the traditional morality of East Asia, so the entertainment circles in China, Japan and South Korea have a trend of criticism of 'little fresh meat'. And the so-called 'Little Fresh Meat' star artists have obtained outrageous remuneration far exceeding their peers by virtue of their identity as traffic leaders, which has indeed further boosted this trend of thought...... However, now that we are at the wine table and not in the school auditorium, I will inevitably have to say more words in business!"
"I want to hear about it. Park Yonghuan also quickly straightened up, and it seems that Kim Jong-myeong's change of attitude has also put pressure on him.
"To exist is to be reasonable. Jin Zhongming's face was relaxed and he replied disapprehantly. "We have to understand that this kind of atmosphere is naturally brought about by business activities, and there are its own market laws behind it. It's hard to talk about the big internal reason, so let's talk about two small structural reasons from the perspective of investors...... First of all, let's talk about the concept of traffic responsibility, why does this concept exist? It's not because they can bring a kind of guaranteed basic traffic to the crew before the film and television work is officially produced, and the word guarantee is actually a very important thing psychologically for the investors behind any work and even for all non-actor members! Who doesn't use it? Xiao Xianrou must have bad acting skills? How about more salary? Purely buy insurance!"
"That's just as well. β
"The second one is that the acting skills of traffic are not necessarily bad...... In fact, there is another important difference between traffic and acting skills, that is, there is a time lag between the generation of these two concepts. The traffic responsibility can be reflected before the work is released, the number of fans is there, and the value is reflected as soon as it comes up, so you can naturally give a lot of money in the contract. But acting, no matter how good you are, then at least you have to wait for the director to have the final say during the filming of the work, right? Then you still need editing, and you also need the final evaluation of the audience and the media, do you want the crew to feel the dark and give money when they sign the contract at the beginning? Xiao Xianrou may not act badly, but the so-called powerful actors can ensure that they will perform at a high level this time before the filming of a work begins? To put it mildly, if it really reaches a level that is convincing before the start of filming, then a powerful actor of this level must be the boss of the top coffee position, and the share or salary is up to others, so how can they care about how many little fresh meat they have in the crew? I'm tired of defending them like I do, and if I'm impatient, I'll just talk to the crew and get out! Who do you think the crew listens to?"
"That's right...... It's really irrefutable!" Professor Park Yonghuan's face also darkened, and he took a deep breath. "But if you talk about it like this, shouldn't you still polish your acting skills first? Xiao Xian...... Popular stars are just virtual after all, and the actor's path is still the final word in the end!"
"Having said that, it's difficult!" Jin Zhongming finished speaking in one breath, and was about to eat his pumpkin muffin, but he put it down again and pushed it down. "Because the road of acting is too hard!"
"This ...... Choi Min-sik's predecessor ......, "Professor Park Yong-hwan didn't seem to expect Kim Jong-myung to have such a big reaction, so in a hurry, he could only instinctively say the name of the most famous actor from Dongguk University, but after saying it, he didn't know how to extend it."
"I don't know if you two understand it or not. Jin Zhongming glanced at the other party disapprenously, and then looked at the beautiful female student of the acting department. "But as far as I know, it is actually very painful for an actor to really get to the role of Cui Minzhi's predecessors!"
"What do you mean by that?" Park Yong-hwan immediately returned to his normal rhythm.
"Actors, if you really want to talk about acting, it's nothing more than those genres, the so-called experience, method, and performance......"
"That's right. β
"Song Kang-ho's predecessors are recognized as experientialists, Choi Min-sik is recognized as methodists, and Mr. Ahn Sung-gi and I are typical expressionists...... It's a clichΓ©. Jin Zhongming replied a little helplessly. Among them, the methodists may be more relaxed, the experiential school suffers the most, and the expressive school should pay attention to a fate, which is also a thing that everyone agrees on. β
"Is Mr. Jin Zhongming talking about the depth of the play, and then treating others with himself?" the girl seemed to understand. "It's really painful once you get into the play......"
"It's true that you live with yourself, but it's not a question of whether you enter the drama or not. Jin Zhongming shook his head again and again. "Because even if you just play a supporting role with two lines, even if you just simply build a model to show the role according to the director's requirements step by step, as long as you talk about some acting skills, then you must bring it in! The difference is that the experiential school pays attention to bringing in the entire role, the method school pays attention to bringing in a certain emotion, and the expressive school pays attention to building a model according to the rhythm of filming and then bringing it in, and then how many roles there are...... And since it is necessary to bring it in, it will inevitably be a painful process. β
He was already about to start bowing his head and eating the pumpkin muffin that Jin Zhongming pushed over, but when he heard this, he put it down.
"So far, I've acted in quite a few films. Jin Zhongming recalled a little weakly. "But behind the really high-rated movies, none of them are easy...... behind "Uncle" and "Horror Live" are all months of dedication and emotion, and that feeling is like ......"
"It's like being on drugs or having a psychotic episode. Xu Xian, who put down the muffin, suddenly interjected. "The whole person is different from usual, both overexcited and emotionally uncontrollable from time to time...... Jumping down from the fifth floor resolutely without a stand-in, no one can stop it; dilating the pupils with drugs, enlarging them so much that they can't take them back, the whole crew is terrified; the younger sister who holds it in the palm of her hand on weekdays is shouting that she wants to smash you to death, and she will use the wall to crush you into a meatloaf, so that no one dares to speak; people who can't sleep at night and rarely drink alcohol usually need two bottles of soju every night to fall asleep...... That state lasts for months at a time, and who can not hurt their bodies and hearts? How can they not be in pain?"
Park Yonghuan and the others opened their mouths, but they didn't know how to answer...... Because they should know all these things.
"That's actually pretty good. Jin Zhongming laughed dryly, but he didn't feel embarrassed because Xu Xian suddenly revealed his old background. "Some scenes are really unbearable!"
"Is there anything more excessive than this?" asked the beautiful woman surnamed Park puzzled, and at this time the other two girls had basically become listeners.
"Of course. Jin Zhongming replied calmly. "In those two movies, after all, I led the master bedroom, and no one could manage the entire set, and there was a complete emotional release at the end of the plot...... I was busy talking about drug use just now, to tell the truth, after the final emotions are released, the body and mind will be completely relaxed, which seems to be quite similar to drug use. But what if you come across a movie that can't release your emotions, what if you run into a crew that you can't lead and control everything? I'm afraid you're really going to get depression, and in my experience, this depression is more obvious than those two movies, one is "Mother" directed by Bong Joon-ho......"
"I'm afraid there is a director's bonus in this. Park Yong-hwan finally reconnected. "Director Bong Joon-ho is not easy to get along with. β
"That's just as well. Jin Zhongming nodded in agreement. "And I was still very young, I had less experience, and there were some outside influences...... But how to say it? During the filming of that movie, the whole person really fell into a very low state of mind...... And it was at that time that I suddenly reacted to why Cui Minzhi's predecessor was such a devout Buddhist, because I was reduced to the point of listening to a monk preach Buddhism to explain, not to mention Cui Dacang, who relied on a hammer to smash people to amaze the audience?"
The crowd was silent.
"I said that Cui Min-sik's predecessors must be very painful, and I am not lying. He is from your Dongguo University, a typical academic school, that is, a method school, and what he pays attention to is to bring in emotions. When he was young, he was unknown for a long time, but it can be seen from his later famous works that although his predecessors basically made a living by acting in stage plays during that time, he should have been down-to-earth according to what he learned in school, that is, he relied on bringing emotions to interpret the role, otherwise it would be impossible to be so amazing as soon as he stepped into the film circle in the later period...... But the so-called emotions brought in, if you look at what emotions he brought in? There are the emotions of murderers, the emotions of violent people, the emotions of perverts, the kind of unruliness, arrogance, pain, thinking, and ferocity...... In Hong Kong movies, Maggie Cheung and Leung Ka-fai filmed a crying scene, Maggie Cheung couldn't stop crying and crying, Leung Ka-fai sat on the edge of the bed and didn't dare to lift the quilt, and the whole person collapsed, does an actor of this level need to pretend that he is very good at acting? Kim Yun-seok's predecessor didn't dare to touch his own daughter who went to kindergarten for a few months after playing a pervert, and he really thought it was a joke? Is it also fake that Heath Ledger was so depressed that he committed suicide after playing a clown? Even I, no matter how bad I am, try to stay in the crew and not go home when acting, just so as not to bring some messy states and emotions to my family......"
The crowd remained silent.
"So, let's leave school now, don't say anything about acting, say anything about being able to endure loneliness. Kim Jong-ming continued to glance at Professor Park. "Some things are easy to say, but they are too difficult to do, acting is a handiwork, not so simple. So for young people, if there is a way to eat by popularity, why do they have to make themselves so uncomfortable? If it's that simple, why do so many actors enter the industry every year, and then mix up those few? Are all directors blind? Or are all the people in the crew goldfish, and they can't remember people after a few seconds?"
"That's just as well. Professor Park Young-hwan could only say yes.
"OPPA just said 'two movies', one 'Mother', and what else?" Seo Hyun interjected at the right time, trying to bring back the somewhat over-the-top atmosphere.
"The Crucible. As soon as Jin Zhongming opened his mouth, he blocked Xu Xian's mouth. "In fact, from the actor's point of view, I actually failed in that movie, because I really didn't have the mental strength to persevere, so that the performance was a bit superficial. Of course, I don't blame myself for anything, because everyone in the crew at that time, from the director to the actors, and even to the psychiatrist who is responsible for taking care of the young actors, everyone can't hold on, and I often tell people that the movie itself is a victory, and there is a reason for this. I just gave so many examples, and let's talk about one more, I remember the actor who was in charge of the evolution teacher at that time, it was an old drama bone, but there was a scene of beating a child, and he couldn't fan it...... In fact, if it is changed to another play, in reality, what if the teenage bear child is still a boy, what if he fans it? But in that atmosphere where the whole thing is full of guilt, he just can't fan it, and no one blames him, and neither the director nor I can say anything. β
"The Crucible" is indeed ......" Park Yong-hwan has been unable to continue the topic with Ben. "It's really better to listen to your words, than to read for ten years, I really think simple. β
Professor Park thought it would be more than that. Jin Zhongming smiled disapprehantly. "It's even more difficult to rely on acting skills to eat and hurt your body and heart, but what if you rely on popularity to eat?
"Xu Xian is really hard like this. Park Yonghuan laughed dryly, as if he had just figured out that Kim Jong-myeong's outburst seemed to be because he was talking nonsense in disregard of Seo Hyun's feelings, so that it caused him to protect his shortcomings.
"Xu Xianxin is not hard, I don't know. Kim Jong Ming seemed to be smiling. "But popularity is a thing, one depends on fate, this can't be managed, and the other is about capital and operation...... Professor Park really thought that I was mocking me when I said this afternoon that I should invite Chairman Lee so-man to come over and talk about popularity? I was talking sincerely! These days, except for a few people who have been lucky, which popular celebrity's popularity is blown by the wind?"
"It's all piled up by the company with resources. Xu Xian couldn't help but interject again. "Add to that the strict management and packaging, and the excellent means of operation...... Now that the first term of the contract has passed, I can relax, otherwise it would be difficult to stay in the school for a longer period of time. β
"Actually, it's okay if you don't come, as long as you don't learn from some artists and treat coming to school as a show, it's already good...... I'm not defending Yun'a, I'm praising you in disguise, it's always better than Yun'a to stay in school more...... Don't look at me like that, it's really not a mockery this time, how could I taunt a student because she likes to stay in school?"
"Actually, there is no need for OPPA to taunt Yun'er Oni. At this moment, Xu Xian was a little embarrassed. "I think there's a reason why Yoon'er Oni didn't come to your meeting......"
"What nonsense?" Jin Zhongming looked righteous. "The meeting was set temporarily, how could I blame her for this?"
"No wonder ......" Park Yonghuan, who couldn't interject, suddenly didn't know what to say.
"Actually, when it comes to the topic that popularity doesn't come for nothing, I often encounter some unbelievable things in the Korean Artists Rights Mutual Aid Committee. The other party obviously didn't want to talk anymore, but Jin Zhongming was interested again after hearing his voice. "Sometimes I come across some reports that a director or producer has asked for a sexual bribe, and then I go to investigate, and then of course the director or producer will not be able to hold up my strength, and will often pour out my ugly things one by one, and then the number of victims will increase, and we will go to other victims, but the other victims will basically blame us in turn...... This is not an isolated case, but a universal response. So in the end, we can only talk about things. To be honest, why are so many female artists who have just debuted willing to sleep with them?"
"I'll also tell you the truth, when I meet a director like Mr. Kim Jong-myung, I am willing to sleep with you, maybe a lot......" The film beauty who hadn't spoken for a long time suddenly stiffened her face and held half a sentence.
"yes, maybe there will be a lot. Jin Zhongming replied disapprehantly. "Maybe there will be a lot of bad old men like Kim Ki-duk's predecessors, after all, they can still win awards. But the reality is that even those bad movie directors who have no future and no standard, female artists are still flocking to them...... Why? Just asking for a chance! These days, the road of acting is so difficult to take, but is the road of popularity easy to take? Which person who has entered the industry does not want to be famous, but where is the opportunity and the stage to make you famous? For no reason, why should you be given a chance? They all say that you must endure loneliness and keep the bottom line, but is loneliness so easy to endure? Is the bottom line so easy to keep?"
"That's why the entertainment industry needs people like Mr. Kim Jong Ming to maintain the bottom line, and then create an atmosphere for everyone who can withstand loneliness......" Park Yonghuan can only shoot half of the sycophants lightly at this time.
Professor Park just took it for granted. Jin Zhongming sneered. "Mixed to the point of me, at most it is just to say that I am alone, I want to help the world, but it is even more difficult to do, I can only say that I do my best...... Over the years, I have grown up slowly, I have seen more and more people and things, and I have seen this society and people's hearts more and more thoroughly, in fact, this society is indeed sinister, but people's hearts are generally impetuous, what can I do?"
"yes. The beauties of the acting department also sighed. "Some things are easy to say, and everyone understands the truth, but there is always nothing to do about being truly immersive...... For example, they are all students from school, maybe they are classmates and friends, they are big stars and well-known artists early, and they don't want to touch TV dramas too early. And then everyone went out to eat together, talked to each other, and smiled naturally on their faces, but can they really hold up this kind of energy in their hearts?"
As these words came out, Xu Xian's face changed suddenly, but he immediately became gloomy.
Professor Park Yonghuan also glanced at the student a little helplessly, but finally didn't say anything.
"Let's take our leave. One of the two girls next to him suddenly reacted and was about to leave.
"Not really. The film beauties pulled each other a little. "It's not a big deal, Jin Zhongming's predecessor is also a reasonable person, and he is not the second generation of chaebol in the comics I talked about a few days ago, and he poured ice cubes into the neckline of the actress on the wine table without saying a word......"
"What kind of comic is this?" Kim Jongming was stunned.
"A very hot political satirical cartoon that is being serialized. Park Yonghuan hurriedly explained. "Mr. Kim Jong-ming, I won't tell you, Jingli is my student and my distant cousin in Busan, and she debuted as an idol for a year and was tepid...... I don't want to, but I'm a little clever and overdone, so that you can look at our brother and sister jokes in turn. β
"Not so much. Jin Zhongming also shook his head. "I did feel it, not to target and ridicule the two. Sibling...... I thought it was an uncle and nephew, but when I think Professor Park is thirty-seven or eighteen years old, it is understandable that his cousins are naturally understandable...... That caricature sounds funny, I'll be sure to check it out when I have time. β
"It's just a crime-themed cartoon, it's too exaggerated. Park Yonghuan laughed dryly. "Today...... I really know what demeanor and momentum are when I see Mr. Jin Zhongming...... Our brother and sister are thinking about it. β
"Not an exaggeration. Jin Zhongming still replied disapprerovingly. "I haven't seen ice cubes poured into the necklines of female celebrities, but I've seen too many directors who ask actresses to sleep with them, and I have personally experienced the second generation of chaebols who smash people's cars without saying a word, what is the difference between the two and the kind of behavior in the comics? Jing Li ...... I remember you said you were a member of Nine Muses? Which company is that?"
"Star Empire, but I made my debut halfway through and made up for it, Nine Muses debuted early......"
"Star Empire...... Son of the Empire, right? That combination has two outstanding characters, Huang Guangxi and Lin Shiwan, the former is a good player in variety shows, not to mention, Lin Shiwan is indeed a rare good actor Miaozi. β
"It was because of him that he had unrealistic ideas, and then he self-righteously chose the major of theater performance......" Park Jingli was embarrassed. "I knew him well when I was a trainee before, and I thought he could do it. β
"Needless to say, both of us have already talked too much today, and I won't say anything superfluous. Jin Zhongming picked up the glass of water on the table and moistened his throat. "Originally...... Well, your brother and sister did take the shelf a little too much this time, and they wanted to ask me for help, and they guarded me like a thief, and they were all messing around...... That's fine, the key is to hide it from me and Xiaoxian, so don't think too much about some things. β
"Yes. Park Jingli's voice was particularly bitter, and her cousin Park Yonghuan opposite her was also helpless.
"In this way, go back and tell your boss, let him pick two more people in your group, and then take you to TVN with me, and I will greet them over there, and let them arrange a few half-starring and half-supporting roles in the upcoming "Please Answer 1994", which can be regarded as a matter of hard work for Professor Park Yonghuan to help me host the meeting in the afternoon. β
"Thank you, senior!" Park Jingli suddenly got up and thanked him.
And Park Yonghuan on the side immediately reacted after a little thought, and immediately got up to thank him.
In other words, the kind of role that is half a dragon and half a supporting role can only leave a little impression at most, but it is still an opportunity, and some people are still rushing to it, not to mention "Please Answer" and TVN, which is now the most powerful?
However, more importantly, in the words that Park Kyung-ri was interrupted by Kim Jong-ming in the middle of her sentence just now, it was obvious that her biggest problem should be her halfway debut...... Since it is a halfway debut, how do you get along with each other in the group? What is the attitude of the company, and how will it allocate resources? I am afraid that these are the biggest problems. And now, although Kim Jong-ming doesn't give the other party any good opportunities, he asks Park Kyung-ri to go to her company boss with a few small opportunities from TVN's most popular drama under her own banner, and then you can also bring two group members with her, I'm afraid this is the most effective help, because Kim Jong-ming lent Park Kyung-ri a share of his face.
After all, few people in the entertainment industry dare to look down on Jin Zhongming's face in recent years.
"That's it. Looking at the other party, he should have understood what he meant, and Jin Zhongming nodded disappreciatively.
In this way, the brothers and sisters Park Jingli and Park Yonghuan breathed a sigh of relief and chose to say goodbye at the same time, and the two girls who had been playing soy sauce for a long time naturally did not stay longer, and for a while, only Xu Xian and Kim Jong Ming were left in the restaurant.
This dinner is particularly anticlimactic...... Of course, considering that Xu Xian was a little unhappy from the beginning, it is not impossible to say that it is a dog's head and a snake's tail.
And sure enough, after standing up and smiling and sending off the last two female classmates, as soon as Xu Xian came back, he nibbled on the pumpkin muffin that Jin Zhongming had placed in front of him before.
"Aren't you going to manage your figure?" Jin Zhongming was speechless.
"I'm in a bad mood!" Xu Xian gave a good reason.
Jin Zhongming was helpless, just beckoned the waiter to bring him another muffin.
"OPPA is also in a bad mood?" asked Xu Xian disapprovingly.
"Almost!"
"Yesterday was Sicaoni's birthday, and you didn't go either?"
"She didn't call me...... I'm in a worse mood when you say that, I'm afraid I'll have to eat more...... Trouble with two extra muffins. β
While talking, the two of them had already finished a muffin cake sullenly.
βoppaγ Xu Xian wiped her mouth with a tissue, as if she claimed to be in a bad mood, but she had no intention of continuing to eat with Jin Zhongming. "When did you notice that?"
"What do you perceive, the relationship between that Professor Park and your friend named Park Jingli?"
"Hmm. β
"When did you notice it?"
"I didn't notice anything. Xu Xian replied helplessly. "I just heard from your words that it was inappropriate, they didn't take the initiative to say that I probably didn't know they were brother and sister all along, after all, how did OPPA see their flaws?"
"Hmm...... Was the answer too coincidental? That Professor Park Yong-hwan was pretending to be too much? The intention to protect that Park Jing-ri was too obvious? Or was that Park Jing-ri's table manners too brilliant compared to her two female companions, and she seemed to be prepared? Actually, it was difficult for me to say any obvious flaws. Jin Zhongming shook his head. "Everything is vague and will be settled. I can only say that I am older and have run for three, so I have seen more people and have more social experience. Anyway, something felt something was wrong at first, and then it slowly became clear. Of course, it is also true that these two people seem to be a little deliberate and naΓ―ve, and I may not see it if they are more experienced in society. But then again, people who are really experienced enough to hide from me probably won't do this, as long as you inquire about my personality a little, and then apologize to you when you come, and be honest with me, I may not be able to give them a better chance...... But it's strange to say that, how do they seem to know so much about your character?
Oppa's words are excessive. Xu Xian replied unceremoniously. "I'm me, you're you, is that the same thing? I'm an idol, and I'm a student of Professor Park Yong-hwan, so what if I lie to me? No matter how angry I am, it's useless, right? Of course, people don't have to worry about it. But what about you, not to mention how they ask about your character, even if they can ask about it, can you believe it? don't do anything, in case it angers you, and then you really pour ice cubes on people's chests...... What can they do?"
"That's really ...... But didn't they think that a way would provoke me? I'm the most protective of all, how could I sit back and watch them bully us like this?"
Xu Xian let out a rare dry laugh, but avoided the topic: "I'm always forced to make a living, and then I can only choose a less dangerous way according to the conventional thinking, right?"
"You're right, but what kind of livelihood is this?" Jin Zhongming shook his head and smiled. "There are also people who earn less than one million won a month (6k soft girl coins) who are singing, and when they win the award, they ask if they can exchange them for bonuses; there are many actors who can't afford to rent a house, and there are many people on Chungmuro-ro; and there are even some comedy artists who are looking for opportunities to go on stage while working in a supermarket in Yeouido...... These are the ones who are really forced by their livelihoods! And this one, at least, is an artist from the star empire, and there is a distant cousin of a university professor to take care of it...... To put it bluntly, they are just unwilling to accept the status quo. β
"That Professor Park seems to be trying to express himself as well......"
It seems so, but not necessarily. Jin Zhongming frowned slightly. "At first glance, I want to express myself, so I say so many opinions that seem to make sense, but I always feel that it is a bit deliberate, and the words are a little shallow, not like the opinions that a person who has become a professor at such a young age should have...... Maybe he was using it as a foil for his cousin? You see, after he finished speaking, Park Jingli spoke several times and seemed particularly pertinent and appropriate. β
"The human heart is really complicated. Xu Xian sighed. "I don't understand ...... at all"
"The human heart is inherently complex. Jin Zhongming shook his head. "No matter when, no matter what, there are all kinds of thoughts mixed together, not to mention that everyone still has multiple identities and positions! Therefore, the key is to see whether what you say and do has reached a certain line, and if you cross the line, you will naturally do it, and it cannot be refuted, and everything will not matter if you don't cross the line. So, why do you want to do so much?"
"Speaking of crossing the line. Xu Xian's heart suddenly moved. "OPPA has said before that many female newcomers will be extremely unhappy with the commission's investigation into sexual bribery."
"That's right...... If you miss them, you may still have reputational worries after the news spreads. Jin Zhongming sneered. However, the complaints that directly complained were basically only when the committee was first established, and now there is no one. β
"Is it because the committee is now more trusted by artists?"
"It's because the committee is now more and more authoritarian, and they are afraid that expressing their true attitude will provoke me and the committee in turn. β
Xu Xian was silent again.
"Is there anything going on tomorrow?" Kim Jong-ming was already eating his third and final pumpkin muffin.
"It's fine. Xu Xian glanced at the other party puzzled.
"I'm going to visit a few places tomorrow, aren't you my new secretary? β
"I'm the secretary of the committee......," Xu Xian frowned.
"I'm just going to inspect the crews that have something to do with me. Jin Zhongming said calmly. "It's just right for you to follow. β
He nodded convincingly...... But after all, there was no more to say.
PS: I just found out that there is a weird rule at some point...... No more than 20,000 words are allowed in a chapter...... The egg hurts!
