No matter what, with the arrival of the end of the month, the sky finally cleared, and with the sassy autumn wind blowing the whole world, Kim Jong Ming finally got rid of Zheng Xiuyan's outrageous devastation.

However, I don't know if it's cheap, there is no rain, and no one assigns him to work, in the face of harmonious weather and harmonious life, Jin Zhongming feels that the life in front of him has become boring again, and even the Blue Dragon Award on the 28th can't mention his interest.

Of course, then again, the 2013 Blue Dragon Award really has nothing to do with Jin Zhongming, he didn't have any movies shortlisted, and he didn't go to be a judge, and even the organizing committee invited him to be the guest of honor, but he hesitated to decline. In fact, the entire Blue Dragon Award ceremony, that is, a Han Hyo-joo is worthy of his attention...... Come to think of it, anyone wants to see the side they bet on win, it's just a common gambler's mentality.

However, after Han Hyo-joo really got what she wanted after getting the actress, Kim Jong-ming didn't feel anything anymore, and the two just chatted a few awkwardly at the banquet in the back, roughly as follows:

"Congratulations, well deserved. ”

"No matter what, I still appreciate you and admire your bearing. ”

"Bullshit, just recklessly. ”

“…… I heard that it's been hard lately, and I'm working as a spider-man and an assistant again?"

"Hey, I also read fairy tales to the little girls born in the 00s. ”

"It rained a lot the other day. ”

"It's sunny now......"

"Your movie is coming out next month?"

"Well, the premiere of the night before the New Year's Day holiday, and when the time comes, we will also invite our new Qinglong Shadow to come to the end. ”

"Why don't you go?" (laughs)

"It's not bad for you. ”

"You're a man...... Sometimes it's really annoying!"

In short, that's roughly the case.

And as time moved forward, when he came to the last month of 13 years, unexpectedly, Jin Zhongming really encountered something that made him feel slightly stimulated...... It's not that Sika is doing some tricks again, and it's not that Kim Zhongming forced the sisters to be footwashers and go to be original chefs in "Three Hours and Three Meals", but that something went wrong in another variety show.

That's right, the last two episodes of "RunningMan" in 2013 have arrived, and in this recording, it may be because of the formal long talk with the program team and Liu Zaishi and others in advance, indicating the intention of getting off, so Kim Jong-ming was particularly ruthless in the recording of the program.

The biggest highlight of these two year-end special programs is, of course, the final paper boat crossing the river...... And when Jin Zhongming capsized and fell into the water, he actually played a good show. In other words, at that time, he refused the help of the rescue team, but instead dragged the innocent member of the same group, Jiang Gary, carried the overturned paper boat, and then forcibly swam the last dozens of meters!

In the words of his trembling words after he came ashore, it was considered a winter swim...... It's also very bold.

But the price, naturally, is that he recuperated in a groggy state for four or five days before he could be considered healthy, and when he cheered up, New Year's Day was already in front of him. And this also means that the "Veteran" he has been brewing and looking forward to for a long time is finally going to be released.

The premiere? Actually, there's not much to say.

The location is still away from home, from Zhongwu Road, and from Jiangnan to the ten miles CGV Cinema, Jin Zhongming has long been accustomed to it;

In fact, even Han Hyo-joo, who was a little arrogant before and directly said that she might not come, still came honestly.

Of course, there are some surprises in the direction of guests, for example, since it is a movie starring Kim Jong-ming and Huang Zhengmin, there should be no reason why several top actors in the circle are not all in place. But in fact, although Ha Jung-woo, Xue Wanyi and others came to cheer as promised, Song Kang-ho and Choi Min-sik, the two big actors signed by CUBE companies, did not appear. And if the latter can still talk about the "Ming Liang" that he is in the critical period, no matter how you look at the former's absence, it will be a little wrong.

Soon, however, with the arrival of a slightly unexpected guest, the puzzle seemed to be solved in an instant...... Without him, this guest is none other than Chung Ho-sung, a close associate of the current president, senior political secretary of the Blue House Secretariat.

In other words, with the arrival of this person, almost everyone at the scene has a lot of imagination, but there are two thoughts that should be universal:

First of all, everyone understands why Song Kanghao is so faceless, the emotion is really not that Song Dabao is unwilling to give face to his boss, but that he can't give this face.

Secondly, everyone was in a trance and emotional, because in the first half of this year, the Blue House, especially the Blue House Secretariat, had a very unpleasant quarrel with Kim Jong-myung in public because of the head of the Creation Economy Promotion Group, but in the blink of an eye, it was a visit to follow the president, and what kind of main theme movie was it...... Now, another heavyweight from the Blue House took the initiative to attend a premiere, and the two sides acted as if nothing happened. This kind of complex relationship between big people, interests and conflicts, etc., is completely incomprehensible to the people below.

However, what these people don't know is that Jin Zhongming is actually a little helpless about Zheng Hucheng's arrival, his "Veteran" is completely a pure commercial movie, and he has a completely incompatible relationship with the other party, and he doesn't need the other party to support him. In fact, it might be better if Zheng Hucheng could be replaced by Uncle Flatbread.

Compared with the president of a country, that aunt is not only a little paranoid, but also a little narrow-sighted and short-sighted, and even emotional. She is so attached to the movie "International Market" that praises herself and her father, and it is not enough to call and ask from time to time, and it is really inexplicable that a senior political secretary should leave his work to inquire about the situation in person!

But if you talk about a thousand things and 10,000 yuan, can Jin Zhongming still not let people come to cheer on them? When people come as guests, can you still get them out? As for everyone's private thoughts, it can only be left to everyone's thoughts.

In this way, the red carpet, media meetings, and fan meetings are all going step by step...... Let's tell the truth here, no one questioned the whole process, and no one made trouble, from the red carpet at the beginning to the time when the popcorn was bought and sat on the seats, the atmosphere in the entire studio was harmonious. Think about it, this is South Korea, any Korean audience, whether you are a high-ranking official of the Blue House or a professional film critic who is single-mindedly picky, or simply a lucky audience who came in by lottery, no one will think that the movie co-created by Hwang Jung-min, Kim Jong-myung, Yoo Seung-wan, Yoo Hae-jin, and Oh Da-so who are at their peak will be a bad movie!

If these people really make a movie that makes people chew wax, it can only show that Korean movies are the basic pills!

In fact, judging from everyone's reaction after the movie, this movie did not disappoint everyone, basically most of the audience was there with a hearty and unfinished taste, and a few media reporters who wanted to rush the manuscript were also rushing to press the press in a hurry.

However, in the flow of people, our director Bong Joon-ho seemed a little withdrawn as always, he put on the hat that came with his down jacket, lowered his head, and walked out alone along the flow of people...... This is also something that can't be helped, he just can't change his stinky problem, every time he watches a movie, he brings his own small notebook and then comments on the movie there, making everyone around him helpless. And he himself knows that he is suspicious, so recently, he rarely participates in occasions such as premieres, and he picks a scene with few people to watch movies slowly, which is really inescapable, such as today, then he is always used to hiding in the corner of the screening room to watch movies alone, commenting alone, talking alone, and then avoiding reporters...... Go home alone.

However, this time the situation seemed to be a little different, because when he walked to the service hall of the studio, there was someone waiting for him.

"Director Feng!" Kim Jong-ming greeted the somewhat dazed director with a smile, and beside him stood Cui Dongxun, Kang Di-gyu, Choo Changmin, Lee Huan-kyung, Han Jae-lim and several other big directors, and they looked over one by one, and they all felt a little dazed, and I don't know if they were a little uncomfortable because of being watched- In other words, at this moment, not only some media reporters and audiences are surrounding these big directors, but also many idols and actors who came to attend the premiere have also stopped to act as temporary star chasers.

"Why don't you turn on your phone when the movie is over? Jin Zhongming stepped forward and grabbed the other party directly.

"Hey...... Forgot. Bong Joon-ho was obviously a little confused. "What are you looking for me? What are you going to do, are you going to have a director's meeting?"

"Nothing. Jin Zhongming smiled without hesitation. "I just wanted to invite a few directors to have a meal, and by the way, I asked some professional questions, so I booked a private room at the Chinese restaurant in Jiangnan. ”

"I see. Bong Joon-ho nodded a little confused.

To be honest, Director Bong Dae didn't know that the organizers would generally have some additional public relations actions after the premiere, but first, he didn't understand why Kim Jong-ming was so impatient, and even stopped his people in public; second, he couldn't figure out why Kim Jong-myung came to entertain his directors, shouldn't he have asked Yoo Seung-wan to come? Then Hwang Jung-min was responsible for entertaining the actors, and he Kim Jong-ming was responsible for dealing with the media, so it was reasonable, right?

"Director Lee Jun-ik and Director Yoon Ji-kyun are also coming. Jin Zhongming said as he affectionately pulled the other party out, and the group of directors behind him quickly pushed away the requirements such as taking a group photo and signing autographs. "It's just that these two people were temporarily stopped in the screening room by acquaintances, and director Lee Jun-ik seemed to have been stopped by a media acquaintance, director Yoon Jijun...... Well, but they all called and told us to go first, and then they'd follow in a while. ”

"I see. Bong Joon-ho nodded while pretending to be, still a little confused. "Director Lee Jun-ik and Director Yoon Ji-gyun ......"

At this point, Bong Joon-ho suddenly had a stirring in his mind, but he immediately looked back at the large list of directors who came out together, from Kim Jong-myung's fledgling director Choi Dong-hoon to Lee Hwan-kyung and Han Jae-lim, who have just risen recently with movies such as "The Gift of Room No. 7" and "Lookout...... Then, when he looked at Kim Jong-ming's smiling expression, a hint of enlightenment rose in the heart of the great director.

I see!

The lights are on, the New Year's Day holiday is approaching, and the whole of Seoul is drunk.

Half an hour later, in a Chinese restaurant in the south of the Yangtze River, in the exclusive private room of Jin Zhongming himself, with a series of high-end Chinese dishes delivered like flowing water, bottles of high-end liquor and low-alcohol Korean soju were placed in turn, but the atmosphere at this time was already much more casual than in the movie theater before.

After all, at this time, almost everyone seems to have understood like Bong Joon-ho before, and they know what Kim Jong-myung thinks.

What do you think? After sitting down and taking a closer look at these people who are here today, who still doesn't have a point A in their hearts?

Choi Dong-hoon - "League of Thieves" - the official record of the Film Promotion Committee, 12.98 million moviegoers;

Li Huanqing - "The Gift of Room No. 7" - 12.81 million viewers;

Jiang Digui - "Tai Chi Flag Flying" - 11.75 million viewers;

Qiu Changmin - "The Two-Faced King" - 10.01 million moviegoers (if it weren't for Kim Jong-ming's intervention, this number would be significantly more);

Bong Joon-ho - "Monster of the Han River" - 10.9 million viewers;

Bong Joon-ho - "Snowpiercer" - 9.35 million viewers;

Han Zailin - "Looking" - 9.13 million viewers;

If you add Lee Jun-ik and Yoon Ji-kyun, who are about to come, and their 10.35 million viewers of "The King's Man" and 11 million viewers of "Haeundae", it can be said that with the upcoming New Year's Day of 2014 as the deadline, the films with more than 9 million viewers in Korean films in this time and space, except for the bad old man Kang Woo-seok who did not come to the premiere today, then all the Korean high-grossing directors will be all available tonight.

In this case, considering that although Kim Jong-ming is extremely famous and has created a lot of movies, the box office has not exceeded 9 million precedent, so it seems that there is no need to say much about what 'professional issues' he wants to ask.

"I'll get a package ticket first. "Among everyone, Choi Dong-hoon is the most casual, he should eat, drink, and talk, no way, who made his family the debut director of Kim Jong-myung?" "Ten million is no problem!"

"No problem. ”

"No problem. ”

"10 million don't have to run ......"

"It shouldn't go wrong. ”

Since someone started the way, everyone was under no pressure, anyway, they were talking in private in the private room, and they were not afraid of being embarrassed when something went wrong. And more importantly, everyone also has real materials, and they vaguely understand in their hearts that this estimated number is really not holding Jin Zhongming, if they are not worried about being ridiculed and patted on the back, even if they let them say it to the media in public, it is nothing!

"Actually, there are some things that others may be embarrassed to say. Choi Dong-hoon, the current box office record holder for Korean films, swallowed a cup of Moutai and slowed down for five seconds before reluctantly continuing to speak. "It's not embarrassing for me to speak. In fact, the box office is obviously inversely proportional to the size and activity of the market, and now the box office of the movie has come to 9 million or 10 million this year, which is not the same thing as the record-setting movie of director Bong Joon-ho and director Kang Di-gyu in terms of difficulty. Zhong Ming, you can see that more than half of the people who came today and their works have created box office milestones in the past 13 years. Why? Because the market is very good now, and people are willing to watch movies. So Zhong Ming, don't take the box office of 9 million or 10 million movies as a hurdle, the market is just right, with your level, a good movie will naturally have a good result, right?"

"Absolutely. Jiang Digui, who had a very elegant posture, also opened his mouth with a smile. "Actually, let's say that if it weren't for the subject matter, Zhong Ming, some of your previous works might have broken records a long time ago, and the most valuable and representative of them is "Uncle". The movie "Uncle", a nineteen-ban, and a Korean movie happen to be at the lowest point in the market, otherwise it would have exploded a long time ago...... According to me, the so-called tens of millions of actors are completely natural for you, so you don't need to think too much. ”

The two of them opened their mouths, and everyone nodded one after another, even Han Jae-lim, Choo Changmin, Lee Huanqing and others who had the so-called '13 years to create a box office milestone' had no intention of refuting, because Choi Dong-hoon or Kang Di-gyu was telling the standard truth, and they couldn't refute it if they wanted to!

That's just the way it is!

"That's just as well. Jin Zhongming also smiled slightly. "In fact, on the way here, I just got a more accurate figure in my hand, the cumulative number of moviegoers in South Korea has reached about 210 million in 13 years, which is undoubtedly a very high number, and it is undoubtedly a figure close to the limit for the Korean population. From the perspective of this number, with a total of more than 200 million moviegoers, as long as any movie can get a good share in a relatively good schedule, it can basically have a good result, and 900 or 10 million just needs a dominant share. ”

"Since you know so well, why did you call us over to ask for advice?" Cui Dongxun was a little crying and laughing. "You don't need to ask us if the schedule is good, right? Isn't it up to you to have the final say? Monopolize the New Year's Day schedule and win a dominant market share, 10 million is easy, right?"

Kim Jong Ming smiled but did not speak.

"If I'm not mistaken, what Zhong Ming wants to ask is not a low-grade question of whether this movie can exceed 10 million. Bong Joon-ho, who hadn't spoken, just lowered his head to enjoy Dongpo's elbow, finally raised his head, revealing a mouth full of oil. "He came to us with only one meaning, that is, he wanted us seniors to help him analyze whether his film "Veteran" could get a 'breakthrough' box office, so as to fill the gap in his personal high box office achievements. Right?"

Jin Zhongming smiled slightly, nodded as usual, and ...... That's it.
