Chapter 123: Intimidation

So, what was Kim Jong-ming doing during the movie screening? Uh, how to say it? All kinds of miscellaneous things. After learning about the success of the film's premiere on July 1, he put his mind on some messy things. For example, you say that he once went to talk about his life with Song Kang-ho, Kim Ji-yun and others; for example, he also recruited a few interesting characters to detail the 'anti-professional oppression committee' of his teacher Ahn Sung-ki; you also said that he also successfully detonated a scandal that was only hot for one night; finally, by the way, he also spent the money earned from "I Love You" before he got it, uh, and posted a lot of private upside down.

Let's go through them one by one in chronological order.

The time to negotiate with Song Kang-ho and other creators of "Three Guys" was on the morning of July 2, the morning of the day after Kim Jong-myung confirmed the market performance of his film, he invited Choi Min-sik to drink Bae Yong-joon as a medium-sucker, and invited director Kim Ji-woon, Song Kang-ho, Jung Woo-sung, Lee Byung-hun and an executive from CJ Pictures, the film's distributor and producer, to have a cup of coffee together.

Of course, the negotiation process was extremely difficult. Jin Zhongming wanted to ask if the other party could postpone it a few days a little, even if it was a few days, he could make his "I Love You" reach the 3 million moviegoers, and he naturally fulfilled the promise he made because of an angry word. But from the other party's point of view, this is a bit dispensable, after all, they are a big investment with famous directors and famous actors, plus a very powerful distributor (CJ has a one-stop industrial chain from film production to distribution to theaters), there is some meaning in it. In other words, they don't need to sell Kim Jong-myung and Choi Min-sik to save face. Of course. It's no problem to sell face. But. The problem is that since it is okay to sell face or not. So why sell your face? Koreans live to save face.

Uh, these two sentences are a bit tongue-twisting, but in general, Jin Zhongming has said all the good things, and the other party's main creators push me, I push you, you just don't say a word of truth. The attitude of CJ's top management is even more interesting, as a member of the CJ Group, which has always been domineering, he actually looked at his nose and nose and mouth this time, and he was about to sit in meditation and become a Buddha.

"That. What does Senior Lee Byung-hun think?" Kim Jong-ming, who was really out of the question, decided to use the killer weapon, and he stared at the other party straightforwardly and asked. "You owe me a huge favor, when will you pay it back? Or do you not want to pay it back? What's the matter with Song Chengxian's predecessors always firing guns at me these days? Don't you say it has nothing to do with you?"

Cui Min-sik, Zheng Yusheng and Kim Zhiyun looked at each other, but Li Bingxian was really sweating, he was really worried for a while after the incident, but as time went by, he slowly forgot about it, and it wasn't until a while ago when he was drinking with his friend Song Chengxian that he inadvertently leaked out about that matter. I didn't think that Song Chengxian would say anything else, but he really smelled like him, so he immediately took this matter to heart, and he also stared at Jin Zhongming in the media three times and twice. At first, Li Bingxian was a little nervous. But slowly, he saw that Jin Zhongming never spoke and relieved himself, just letting Song Chengxian vent for him. But he didn't expect that Jin Zhongming would be so simply stabbed here today, and the other party at the beginning, Pei Yongjun, was also in front of him! At the same time, he vaguely felt that Pei Yongjun's attitude was a little unclear now, and this probably meant that his two hand-signed guarantees fell into the hands of the other party!

"yes. Bae Yongjun wiped his glasses. "Brother Bingxian, Zhong Ming helped a lot with that matter at the beginning, but now you don't say a few words to help, but let Chengxian shout there? ”

"Yongjun, you?" Li Bingxian's heart suddenly became cool, and he felt that you, the person who took the guarantee for us, really stood on Kim Zhongming's side, so wasn't I grabbed a super pigtail? If this thing was really stabbed out, how could I find those young female newcomers?

"Bingxian?" Jin Zhiyun really couldn't hold back.

"I don't think postponing it for three or five days will have no impact on our film, and Zhong Ming's film is currently looking good, so it is still necessary to avoid risks appropriately. Lee Byung-hun reacted immediately, and he immediately explained to Kim Ji-yun and Choi Min-sik beside him with a serious face. "And I don't hide it from you, I owe Zhong Ming a huge favor in the Guanghuamen incident in 06, in fact, all Korean filmmakers owe Zhong Ming a big favor, and now we have to give face to his first movie no matter what!"

The four main creators of this movie, but Zheng Yusheng can't be compared with the other three anyway, so he was honestly drinking coffee at the beginning, and he didn't have the slightest intention of interjecting. So in fact, the people who have the power to decide this matter are none other than Song Kang-ho, Lee Byung-hun, Kim Ji-woon, and CJ. And now Li Bingxian suddenly changed his tone, which made the rest of the people a little embarrassed.

"It's not impossible. Kim Zhiyun was the first to waver, as a director, he was actually unwilling to offend people, and Lee Byung-hun's words just now made him think of Ahn Sung-ki behind Kim Jong-myung, as well as the Chosun Ilbo and the Korean Film Promotion Committee that gradually merged with Ahn Sung-ki after that incident, Kim Jong-ming He didn't know the specific situation, but he didn't want to offend the latter three.

And at this moment, Song Kanghao was embarrassed. Song Kang-ho is recognized as one of the three mountains of Korean films, and the other two are Ahn Sung-gi and Choi Min-sik, and his status and influence are naturally not said, but he has an advantage, or a characteristic, that is, he never wants to touch things other than movies! He does not go to variety shows, does not accept any media interviews other than film promotion, does not engage in any side business at will, and even the second demonstration in Gwanghwamen, where all Korean filmmakers gathered last time, was pulled by Choi Min-sik. So, in a sense, Song Kang-ho is the purest actor in South Korea. It was precisely because of this that he felt some instinctive disgust at Jin Zhongming's request for them to postpone the date today. But people are people. Song Kanghao has also had a relationship of favor and face to this day. Don't say anything else. Choi Min-sik, who was sitting across from him, was a person he had to give face, and Kim Jong-myung's teacher, Ahn Sung-ki, was also a person he had to give face.

Therefore, Song Kanghao's eyes flickered all of a sudden. Eventually, he looked at the CJ executive, who had been bowing his head and not speaking, and the meaning of this action was already obvious.

"20th!" the CJ executive finally spoke. "We will release it on August 20, which is the greatest sincerity that CJ Group can express to Kim Jong-myung and Ahn Sung-ki. ”

"The 21st, right? The 21st is a new week, and you can calmly carry out a new filming schedule. "Jin Zhongming can fight for a little is a point, and the quality of "Three Guys" is one thing. But Lee Byung-hun and Song Kang-ho's appeal and CJ's ability to schedule films are another matter, and once this film is released, his "I Love You" will inevitably fall into a situation where he can only eat leftovers, there is no doubt about it.

"Good!" the man nodded. "This extra day is given for the sake of the face of the TV drama alliance hosted by Mr. Kim Jong-ming, and I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you in the future. ”

"Your surname?" Jin Zhongming stood up and shook hands with the other party.

"Lee Jae-bin. "This man cherishes words like gold.

"I see. Jin Zhongming looked at the other party's age in his forties, and heard this name again, how could he not understand?" ”

"It's done?" asked Cui Minzhi in surprise as soon as the other party left. "Song Kang-ho's stuffy gourd and CJ's company that likes to eat alone would actually agree? Lee Byung-hun actually had a handle in his hand and was caught in the mud? This is true, I didn't think it would work out at first. ”

"Maybe it's the conscience of these people who found out. Kim Jong-ming was reluctant to talk more about it. "In short, we did fight for 4 days, from July 1st to 21st, a full 20 days, and 3 million moviegoers should be no problem. But the publicity has to be intensified, and I have to go back to a meeting now. Is there anything wrong with realigning the propaganda phalanx and the seniors?"

"Hey. Choi Min-sik glanced at Bae Yong-jun, who immediately took the lead in leaving. "I heard that Zhong Ming is recruiting for your teacher's 'anti-professional oppression committee', uh, the 'outstanding young talent with a strong sense of responsibility, good execution, a sense of justice, and a strong physique', and 'among them those who have excellent martial arts or military training is preferred', is this the case?"

"Yes!" Jin Zhongming touched his nose in embarrassment and nodded. "I think this committee should be reformed to be more enforceable, after all, if we encounter some professional oppression incidents of a worse nature, I'm afraid it won't work with just words. ”

"That's good!" Cui Cannon nodded heavily to me. "I had a similar suggestion when your teacher was on this committee before, and in some sets, it's okay to let juniors buy 50 bottles of coffee for 50 won, and those who rely on their seniors or popularity status to take advantage of young actresses should castrate him directly (Li Bingxian, who has already walked to the door, can't help but feel cold in his crotch)! So it's right for you to set up an armed rangers, and I raise my hands in favor!"

"That and that armament is not good, we are just an NGO!" Jin Zhongming waved his hand again and again, his original intention was actually to scare the subordinates with a few more big men, but he didn't think that Cui Cannon was armed and wanted to be castrated, which was really a bit beyond his thoughts.

"That's okay!" Cui Dacang nodded excitedly. "Anyway, I'm going to go to the bottom of the Himalayas to practice for a while, and I don't really care about this, it's much better for you to do this than your teacher. I actually just wanted to recommend someone to you!"

"Oh?" Kim was stunned for a moment. "Do you have the right person for this?

"Ah, that's right!" Cui Dacang interrupted Jin Zhongming's words impatiently. "He also has a sense of justice, and at the same time he is a man with a high degree of education and high military value, he is simply a person who exists for you as a recruiter, I asked him to go to you this afternoon, and you asked the doorman to let him in, his name is Kim Zhexiu, and his English name is Tashi. ”

After that, Cui Dacang walked away, and it seemed that he was really going to Nepal to practice.

"Oh!" Jin Zhongming and the others disappeared before they agreed blankly.
