Chapter 161: If there is a problem, it must be solved (II)

"Yes, yes!" Yin Jijun honestly stood up again this time, but this time he didn't pretend to be out of line, but really didn't have a way. "Anyway, that's it. There is a notorious local loan shark company in the investment, and the local villagers don't want to see us, and they play the plot of the local ama fighting for territory, and the local villagers don't want to see us, I really can't think of any solution!"

"The plot of the haenen's fight is over, and it is still preserved!" Kim Jong-ming gave an opinion. "After all, the artwork should reflect real life, and the director Yoon Ji-gyun who created this plot is a native of Busan, so I don't know if this kind of thing is true, and it can't be caused by the bad mood of the onlookers. ”

"Yes!" Yin Jijun nodded again and again, and said with some grievances. "I'm a native of Busan, am I maliciously scandalizing my hometown? I always feel that only real things have tension, and if I don't portray the life of an original Busan Haeundae, then when it comes to the disaster scenes later in the movie, the true beauty of the Busan people will not be reflected! I am still shooting these scenes to show the image of Busan later!"

The director's perseverance in upholding his own literary and artistic ethics is really remarkable. Jin Zhongming actually immediately applauded. And Li Zaibin next to him wanted to interject several times, but found that he didn't seem qualified to discuss this issue with the two directors, so he could only nod and applaud.

"But what about the problem of the loan shark company?" Jin Zhongming and the others immediately asked the people around him with extreme sincerity as soon as the applause passed. "It's a bad image. And then again, grievances are grievances, but maintaining a good relationship with the local people is also an important factor in maintaining filmmaking, shouldn't we remedy it?"

"Mr. Jin Zhongming, this matter is not as simple as you think. "It was Li Zaibin who spoke, and today he let Jin Zhongming out of the limelight for a night, which can be regarded as allowing him to catch a place where he can speak. On the movie, how can he not interject these two people, but when it comes to the old profession of film investment, he is an expert.

"This wish is well understood. Jin Zhongming rubbed his hands, turned around with a smile and looked at Li Zaibin, the other party was doing a good job.

"Then I'll tell you about this investment problem, especially the problem of loan sharks!" Li Zaibin pretended to smile bitterly, and then began to give a detailed interpretation to the crew members present.

Originally. The problem of this loan shark company is really difficult to solve.

First of all, no matter what the world thinks about the problem of usury, it is legal and widespread in South Korea. Maybe it's because of the extreme love of face, or because of the rapid economic development of South Korea in the past few years, or because the Korean banking industry is quite rubbish, anyway, many people would rather borrow those private loans with extremely high interest rates than show their faces in the bank and say that I am here to borrow money. It is precisely because of this that the interest rate on private loans in South Korea is very high (of course, the amount that Kim Jong-myung borrowed from SK's Choi Tae-won is too big. In addition, Choi Tae-won has a very strong idea of money laundering in it. So the interest rate is not very high), and some of the annual interest rates are as high as 50 percent! And loan sharks and debt collection companies are also very helplessly legal. Well, it's kind of like the existence of the Japanese underworld. Moreover, these companies are not only legal, but they are also very rich (nonsense)! So much so that they can often invite all kinds of big-name celebrities to endorse them! Not to mention now, in seven or eight years, you can still see big-name stars like Han Chaeying and Gao Xiaoying endorsing these loan shark companies! Even 20% of the advertising revenue of cable TV stations comes from these companies!

And you must not think that loan sharks will slowly disappear with the progress and development of society. What are you kidding, but let me give you an example to illustrate the vitality of this industry! In 2010, Kim Jong-myung's last life, someone in the South Korean parliament tried to change the guide interest rate for private lending, preparing to lower it from 50 percent to 40 percent. As a result, the loan shark company has a clear division of labor according to the geographical area, and the money that contributes money contributes the effort. In the end, they all attacked and won I don't know how many parliamentarians, anyway, in the end, this resolution was stopped by how to see how it would pass, and in the end, the national guidance interest rate is still 50%. And don't think that's the end of it! That's not all, the day after the National Assembly bill was not passed, the Korean loan sharks gathered nationwide and jointly passed an internal guidance plan. I took the initiative to lower the interest rate to 39%! and took the initiative to lower it in 2015, to 34.9%!

In a word, South Korea's loan sharks have broken through the sky! They not only know how to be tough, but they also know how to give in and give in, and at the same time they have self-discipline in the industry. And, of course, the scariest one. The more the economy is sluggish, the richer they are, and the more cash they have!

Of course, there is no doubt that loan sharks have a bad reputation at the same time. How many people have been forced by them to take risks? How many people have been forced by them to sign a declaration to sell their bodies with knives? How many people have been forced by them to ruin their families? In the final analysis, the nature of such companies is there, and the common people are not stupid. Therefore, those celebrities who endorse them generally end up with one end, that is, they pay the contract fee and then tear up the contract, and finally bow to the people and apologize.

However, money is moving, and how many celebrities will still step into this big hole.

And the difficulty this time is not only in the loan shark company itself, but also in the legitimacy of the other party's investment, and the other party seriously and honestly put the money in accordance with the procedures this time. You didn't say it at the time, but now you want to throw it away after you take other people's money and find that your hands are hot?

"That's not all!" Yin Jijun explained with sweat, uh, he was the guy who took other people's money at that time. "This time, people came in with a mix of local companies, and they invested through local official organizations, and we had to take into account the views of these people if we wanted to pay back. ”

"Yes!" Li Zaibin next to him said with a wry smile. "Zhong Ming, don't think too much, don't talk about the strength of the loan shark company itself, don't say that people came in in this time, not to mention that we need to take into account the ideas of the local high-level, even if it is for the safety of the film in the future, we have to endure it!"

"Yes!" replied Jin Zhongming with a little 'helplessness'. At the same time, I secretly complained in my heart, Zhong Ming is also called by you? "What if this company's dog jumps off the wall in a hurry? When the time comes, we will not be able to hold up a firecracker, dead cat, dead dog and the like thrown at our set every once in a while! This is their specialty." ”

"It's good that you can understand!" Li Zaibin looks like you are really interested, and you don't know as much as I am because I am an expert.

"But CJ Group has a big business, so can't it help maintain order on the set?" Or maybe it's okay to say hello to some people and let people help take care of it?" Kim Jong-myung then asked thoughtfully. "I remember when I was having dinner with a certain manager of your company, he said, "You know the director of the National Police Agency here in Busan, you know very well. Ask him to help, you know what I mean?"

"Hey, I understand. Li Zaibin said with a dry smile, he naturally knew that this was a card shown by a certain fool when he was competing for the producer, but he didn't expect it to be played by Jin Zhongming today. "But, Mr. Jin Zhongming, you must know that the premise of all this is that the loan shark company will launch our film! But in order to get the family to leave, we must find a local man of high status to act as an intermediary. And"

"I've found this!" replied in a loud voice. The audience was silent again.

"And we still have to get the understanding of the local commercial company!" said Lee, who immediately stopped laughing, and he could see that Kim Jong-ming was playing for real.

"I just went to visit the head of Hanjin Group in Busan Port this afternoon, and we had a great chat. Jin Zhongming replied unhurriedly.

"We have to clear up the officials!" Mr. Lee continued, gritting his teeth. "You have to do it both in Busan and in Haeundae. ”

"I also met with an old friend who is a city councilor in Busan, and I had a chat with the mayor of Haeundae-gu, Namgung, and they were all very supportive of my idea. Jin Zhongming still narrated unhurriedly.

"But we have to have someone to fill this investment gap, and it has to be a local company in Busan! "Lee Jae-bin has a headache. He vaguely felt that Jin Zhongming had already done everything at this moment, and he was purely playing himself as a monkey. But even now, he continued to refute with a glimmer of hope.

"Well, it's true that there's such and that or something" Jin Zhongming was a little embarrassed. "You know what? I did find a local company in Busan to fill the void, but this company has a significant part of my shares in it, which is like I am deliberately trying to grab a share of the people. Don't get me wrong!"

Li Zaibin pursed his lips and said nothing, he realized that he had really become a monkey who was funny. The whole audience set off each other's outstanding performance in front of the entire crew. The difficulties he exaggerated became Kim Jong-ming's merits at the moment, the helplessness he described became a testimony of Kim Jong-ming's hard work, and he tried his best to save the other party's face, but it was himself who was really embarrassed in the end! After the meal, the whole crew would talk about CJ's incompetence. Saying that he is incompetent, on the other hand, saying that Kim Jong-ming is really a person who does great things, and he has solved these problems without making a sound! What makes him even more speechless is that he saw Kim Jong-ming once again expand his share of the movie, but he was unable to do anything, and he even had to greet the chief of the Busan Police Department with a favor! The most terrible thing at that time was that he had to be amazed at Kim Jong-ming's energy like other people! Although he knew that Kim Jong-ming had some money, he did not expect that the other party had been operating so well in South Korea in the past few years!

However, after all, it is a child of the Li family with an excellent upbringing, Li Zaibin turned things around several times in his mind and then nodded with a smile after making a slight adjustment: "Then this is no problem, I will call the police chief here and ask him to help take care of our crew, we will tell the locals the news early tomorrow morning, and then take advantage of the summer vacation to recruit some local villagers to join the crew, then the conflict between us and them will definitely be eased a lot." ”

"As soon as I came in the morning, I had a few chats with the local governor, and I told him about the temporary hiring of locals. Kim Jong-myung still said unhurriedly, but this time he finally made a move, because he needed to turn to the director Yoon Ji-kyun on the other side. "That Director Yin, don't think I'm overstepping!"

"Nothing!" Yin Jijun jumped up from his seat like a rabbit, and then bowed to Jin Zhongming, who was younger than him. "I have to thank you for helping the crew with so much in one day!"

"Okay, eat!" Jin Zhongming stood up and raised his glass, but everyone knew that the banquet was actually over. (To be continued.) )
