On March 25, the only Sunday in late March, Kim Jong-myung's new film was finally about to be released, and for this reason, CUBE held a huge premiere in the name of the crew. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The reason why it is necessary to use the word "immense" is simple. For a Korean premiere, there are only two criteria for evaluating it, one is the process, arrangement, and time-consuming of the ceremony itself, and the other is the number of audiences, media, artists, and film practitioners who come to cheer.

And these two items, Kim Jong Ming can easily do the ultimate in South Korea, so of course he is qualified to call it huge. Otherwise, what else is there?

That's right, in Hollywood, if you want to make a splash, you have to do it at the China Grand Theater anyway? And in China, you don't want to go to the Great Hall for a really top movie? But in South Korea, it's unheard of that you can have a premiere in the National Assembly, do you want to do it twice? Especially if you're just a romance movie.

In fact, the premiere of Korean movies is really basically in theaters, and small productions include a small theater, and big productions package a high-end cinema, which is already a kind of limit. Even if he is not treated in the circle like Kim Ki-duk, he has to symbolize the next screening hall by himself and lead a few actors to watch the meaning together...... There's really not much to say about this.

But don't say it, these people who came to cheer today, from the media to the artists, even if everyone is not easy to say, but the focus of everyone's attention is still the location of this premiere!

Even if it's just a high-end theater that's all too common at Korean premieres...... Well, specifically, it's the Happy Cinema of Mega Cinemas in Gangnamyisandong.

"What do you think of this place?" Bong Joon-ho asked Lee Chang-dong with a slightly sensitive look in the corner of a screening room in the theater before the actors' meeting.

"What can you think?" Li Cangdong was simply sharp. Zhong Ming completed a trilogy of his directorial career at a young age, although with the extra help of director Li Yongzhou, as long as this film is not too bad, then his directorial status will be completely established......"

Bong Junhao frowned a little dissatisfied: "I'm asking about the ...... place"

"Place is also a good place, as if things are also good. Li Cangdong smiled without hesitation. "Isn't that right?"

"Seniors. "As smart as Bong Junhao, when he meets a senior like Li Cangdong, the old Wenqing can only be helpless. "Actually, I'm just thinking about it from the perspective of the movie, and I'm worried about whether it will be affected by this, after all, this is Yong Zhou's hard work for several years......"

"What can it be affected by?" Li Cangdong laughed, and then raised his head thoughtfully to look at the luxurious ceiling of this movie theater. "Lee Jae-hyun is busy with the lawsuit, how can he have any intention to turn his face with Kim Jong-ming, or simply Kim Jong-hyun saw that Lee Jae-hyun had no time to take care of him, so he walked with Hao Liyou, what is there to worry about?"

Bong Joon-ho sighed slightly, then nodded.

Holiyou, not the word Mega itself, this is a word that comes to everyone's mind the moment they see the address of the invitation.

You must know that the two biggest camps of Chinese investors in Korean movies are none other than Holiyo and CJ, and even the Lotte Group, which has deep pockets and Lotte Cinemas, can't compare the two...... Why?

Because CJ has CGV Cinemas and CJ Pictures, which have a path of production and distribution, and although Holiyo is not named, although it does not occupy an absolute share of the company, it has always maintained enough influence in showbox and Mijia Cinemas, and considering that the rest of the important parts of these two companies are all foreigners who do not want to get involved in domestic disputes in Korea, it is safe to say that this group also has its own film production and distribution chain.

Holiyo Group vs. CJ Group, two Korean giants specializing in food, showbox vs. CJ Pictures, the two largest film production companies in Korea, and Mega Cinemas vs. CJ's CGV Cinemas, two of the three major cinema chains in Korea...... The two sides are fighting each other, how long has this pattern lasted for ten years?

Interestingly, since the establishment of CUBE, the production company that has vaguely become the third largest film company in South Korea has chosen to cooperate with CJ almost every time. In fact, in terms of premieres alone, with the exception of the previous one in the National Assembly, almost every premiere was held at the iconic CGV Cinema in Seoul, which is the most luxurious and largest cinema owned by CJ.

And the effect of this cooperation is also obvious, especially in the past two years, CUBE and CJ have joined forces to almost completely defeat the opposite Haoliyu camp...... But now, Kim Jong-ming suddenly turned around! Ran to Meijia to play! What about hair?!

"But...... Not right either. After a moment of silence, Bong Joon-ho spoke again. "Even if Lee Jae-hyun has no time to take care of him now, and even he has a personal relationship with Kim Jong-ming and doesn't care about this kind of thing, but this kind of pattern of confrontation across the board in the industry is not something that the two bosses can easily change, this is a natural confrontation...... So when CJ gasped, wouldn't the two sides have to make a fuss again?"

"I actually know what you mean. Hearing the other party's more straightforward question, Li Cangdong paused slightly, but still told the truth simply. "You're not interested in these things, so from your point of view, you just want to have a stable creative environment, so you don't want to see CJ and Holiyo fight again......"

"It's not just my idea!" Bong Joon-ho replied angrily. "Have you forgotten what it was like in the two years of 06/07 when the two sides were at their most chaotic...... Why are there so many things in this place in South Korea?!"

"You're not wrong at all. Li Cangdong was calm. "The chaebol misunderstands the country, this is something that junior high school students understand. But Junhao, the national situation is like this, what's the use of us complaining? And from the perspective of the interests of the director group, this is actually a great thing...... Isn't that right?"

Bong Joon-ho stared at Lee Chang-dong for a while, and suddenly realized in his heart that although he was not the same director, he thought about the problem from the perspective of the creative environment, while the other party interpreted this matter from the perspective of the interests of the association and the director's right to speak.

So the question is, why does Li Cangdong keep saying that this is a good thing?

Very simply, these days, it is not the government and the management that are out of breath for the directors' association, but Kim Jong-ming, a freak who has united the actors and received the support of the capital camp...... This, as Bong Joon-ho said, is a natural camp antagonism, and has nothing to do with personal feelings and personal relationships.

Therefore, now that Kim Jong-myung and CJ are in trouble, it seems that there is a split in the capitalist camp that has been united for two years without chaos, which is of course a good thing.

Even to put it gloomily, Kim Jong-ming caused this kind of thing, and even Bong Joon-ho was worried that there would be a bad confrontation situation in the previous two years, and then it would affect the creative environment, so what about his basic plate, that is, those actors and film practitioners? Will they secretly complain in their hearts that Kim Jong-ming is causing trouble and affecting their livelihood?

From this point of view, of course, it is a good thing, Li Cangdong is of course in a happy mood!

In fact, Li Cangdong and Bong Joon-ho, two smart people, were right, at this time, in all corners of the huge cinema, there were already more and more actors and film practitioners whispering in groups.

Some people think that Kim Jong-ming is really a little inconsiderate about doing this, Korean movies have finally climbed back from the trough, and the good situation is not easy to come by, so why make trouble?

But some people also expressed their opinions on maintenance, after all, Jin Zhongming's teachers and students have done a lot of practical things before, not to mention the stubborn quota movement a long time ago, and it is very popular to ask for wages for grassroots workers in the film industry who have just been in arrears. What's more, the pair of teachers and students still have the right to supervise the hundreds of billions of won in government support funds every year......

And that's not all, many people who have already boarded Kim Jong Myung's thief ship are even advocating the 'balance theory'! They think that Kim Jong Myung is right to do this, and they can't let CJ bring down the showbox, otherwise it will be difficult to check and balance if the family is dominant.

Well, it's worth mentioning that it's none other than Bae Yongjun and Lee Byung-hun, two bigwig-level actors, who strongly uphold this opinion!

Of course, the so-called silent majority is the real majority, and when some people are uneasy or red-faced, the vast majority of people still bury this matter in their hearts, and communicate how they want to communicate...... After all, that's what people do, and your worries are all speculation, and I haven't been owed wages and therefore received favor from Kim Jong Ming...... In short, if it doesn't hinder me, that's people's freedom, when it really has a personal impact, let's talk about it then!

In short, there is a lot of disturbance, and it seems that the situation is quite stable, but the noise has more or less appeared after all. In fact, just this afternoon, there was already a direct reaction.

In the movie theater, a conference room that temporarily serves as a lounge is Kim Jong-myung, Ha-yong, Kim Tae-hee, Kim so-hyun, and Lee Yong-joo...... Wait for a bunch of creators to chat and chat, Kim Tae-hee and Chu Long are chatting about skincare, while the other three are playing the routine premiere game - guess the box office!

At this moment, the door was suddenly carefully unscrewed, and a figure wearing a moon-white sparse dress flashed, and then he was ready to quietly 'Shun' in.

Clinker, as soon as this figure entered the door, the main owner Jin Zhongming raised his head and 'caught' it: "Zhiyan, why did you come so late?"

"Yes, something. The little dinosaur replied with a little embarrassment. "Good afternoon oppa, good afternoon to the director and seniors......"

"Oh. Jin Zhongming looked suddenly enlightened. "I see, I heard that you have added a new member to TARA, did you arrange the seats yourself? Also, as the teammate of the main actor, all the members will come over to help the platform anyway, right? This is my mistake, I asked someone to arrange it for you...... With the addition of your president, eight front-row seats ......"

"No need. The little dinosaur spoke with a crying tone, saying that she was just stupid, after listening to Kim Kwang-so's bitter explanation before, and now listening to Kim Jong-ming's tone, you can also hear that the other party is teasing herself. "Except for one Zhao Yan Oni, no one else came. ”

"Sister Zhaoyan. Jin Zhongming was slightly stunned, and his thoughts of teasing the other party suddenly faded. "Rare!"

"It's going to be rare. Kim Tae-hee sighed slightly, and hurriedly walked over to protect Ji-yeon, who was about to cry, after a movie was filmed, although there was no rivalry, but at least he was familiar with a lot. "You are holding the premiere in Meijia, how can you make Tara better? That Park Zhaoyan can come over is already very righteous!"

"Oppa, you really don't always bully other girls. Chu Long also pulled Zhiyan a little helplessly and sat down. "Ji-yeon is just an idol, what can I do?"

"Okay, don't tease her. Jin Zhongming smiled and shook his head. "But Chu Long, don't you think it's strange that you call her name? She debuted two years before you...... It should be called senior. ”

"The seniors have to coax too. Chu Long replied helplessly. "Who made me old?"

Jin Zhongming smiled dumbly, and the atmosphere in the lounge suddenly improved.

However, maybe it's a matter of attention, there are always people who can't forget about this matter, and after a few minutes of talking and laughing, I don't know what's going on, and the topic returns to the fact that Tara didn't come.

"Actually, President Kim Kwang-so is a little sensitive and deliberate. Kim Young-suk, who was in charge of the film's distribution, shook his head helplessly. "This is the main road in the south of the Yangtze River in Yisandong, and it is very close to the entertainment companies in the south of the Yangtze River, and some people may not say anything if they come ...... foolishly."

"Definitely. Kim so-hyun obviously also has some opinions about the fact that Tara didn't come over to give Ji-yeon a platform, of course, this is because he looks a little wooden in private, and he is more familiar with several members of Tara before he speaks. "Now the outside is full of idols, and many people don't necessarily come here for any reason, but because the company is too close, the crew is embarrassed not to give invitations, and they are embarrassed not to come...... In this case, it doesn't matter if you come, but if you don't come, it seems deliberate. ”

"I don't think Ji-yeon's company is sensitive. Different people have different opinions, but Lee Yong-ju can understand Kim Kwang-so's approach very well. "Zhong Ming, your cooperation with Meijia...... Even I was a little surprised, not to mention that they were originally subsidiaries of CJ.

"It doesn't matter if you come or not, it's understandable if you're surprised or not. Kim Jong Ming smiled slightly. "After all...... However, as for why it's always CJ and this time it's Mika, I'll explain that later......"

"This ...... It's not necessary, right?" Not only Li Yongzhou, but almost everyone in the lounge became slightly nervous.

"Then let's not talk about it for now. "Jin Zhongming is as good as a stream. "Leave him alone today for things that have nothing to do with the movie, how about it?"

Li Yongzhou and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and their ambivalence was undoubtedly revealed...... In fact, it is a matter of one's own interests, gains and losses, inconsistencies, not to mention a Kim Kwang-so?
