Chapter 314: Cooking Oil with Fire
"Student ID?" Shang Bin asked in surprise. "Do you still want a student ID?"
"You don't have to have a student ID, but if you're a history student at Seoul National University, you can ask your classmates to come in with you, or call someone who has already gone in to pick you up. The conductor explained with a dry smile. "In short, today's position is for Mr. Jin Zhongming's younger brothers and sisters, as long as they can prove their identity, movie tickets are not important...... What's the matter, I'll tell you straight, I can't let you in with a movie ticket, there were several groups of people who obviously asked for tickets from friends before, and as soon as they entered the movie theater, they asked for autographs everywhere, and the manager had already scolded me. β
Shang Bin turned his head to look at his cousin who was dazed not far away, and then sighed helplessly, this world is like this, people who want certain things can't live or die, and people who don't want to sit there can hit their heads.
Two minutes later, Shang Bin reluctantly left and went back to play with his classmates, he didn't want to waste the weekend, and Shang Ming took out his student ID and walked into the cinema after thinking about it again and again, in line with the idea of giving face to his seniors.
At the same time, CGV, CJ's theater chain, which has always been known for its large number of screening rooms and entertainment functions, is showing its strength.
Hundreds of Seoul National University history students, hundreds of media reporters, and almost the same number of celebrities have all been scheduled for the half-hour premiere. The students took their tickets and found their seats, and then started buying popcorn, Drinks and other snacks, from time to time where you can meet an idol to ask for an autograph; reporters gathered in a screening hall that was temporarily converted into a press conference site, and began to set up long guns and short cannons, preparing for the upcoming interview; the handling of artists is a little complicated, some people came to the press conference site to listen to how Kim Zhongming and others are talking nonsense, some people went to the arranged artist screening hall early to socialize there, and some people are impatient with these things. For example, director Bong Joon-ho, director Choi Dong-hoon, and director Lee Jun-ik, they went to a student screening room together, and each moved a chair to sit at the back, and then chatted with the students there while waiting for the movie to start.
In short, this theater, which has undergone three phases of expansion and is used to premieres, is now facing these things without a problem.
A little after seven o'clock in the evening. Seven young film creators appeared on stage as promised.
As soon as he sat down, Jin Zhongming pointed to Enjing, who was in a long white dress next to him, and joked with the reporters: "How is it, is my wife beautiful today?
The audience laughed, everyone knew how this wife came about, these two are playing an imaginary couple in MBC, so this joke is not too much. And Enjing also cooperated and covered her face and lowered her head, as if she was submissive to her little daughter-in-law.
"Show affection every day, be careful to divide quickly!" Somewhere in the last row of the audience, Quan Baolan was holding a big box of popcorn and nibbling there. After hearing Jin Zhongming's words, she still cursed a little indignantly.
"Sapphire Blue. Li Zhixian, who had already received his wife's nickname, snatched the popcorn from Quanbao Blue. "It's time for your kid to change his temper! Some things can be said and some things can't! And now it's full of journalists and entertainers......"
"yes. Park Ji-yeon calmly took the popcorn. "Sister Baolan, you see I didn't say anything, it's me who is usually most tired of Sister Enjing......"
"You can save it too!" Li Zhixian said angrily. "What about the two of them?"
"Sister Zhaoyan is over there. Park Ji-yeon said, stretched out her hand and pointed to another row not far away, and sure enough, Park So-yeon was talking to Sika and Hyoyeon affectionately. "As for Sister Xiaomin, I don't know where it is. β
"Hyo-min has no human rights. Ignore her. Quan Baolan replied calmly.
"So you have human rights?" Li Juli lowered her head and laughed, and Quan Baolan immediately wilted.
In fact, the ecology in this combination is already very stable. Li Juli became a super boss with a black belly and age, and then Enjing was the big boss on the surface, but in fact she was barely second. However, no one can stand Enjing's coquettishness, and even Li Juli never scolds her, so these two are the first echelon. Who's next? There is no doubt that Park Ji-yeon is busy. That's right, Zhiyan is tall and big, and she is very capable of fighting, which is the second strongest value after Eunjing, plus she is busy. It naturally hurts, so Ji-yeon's echelon on the second day is very stable. As for Quan Baolan and Park Zhaoyan, they are naturally the third echelon, and they are generally bullied, so although Quan Baolan is the eldest sister, she didn't dare to resist at all when she was drunk by her classmates.
Well, as for Park Hyo-min, who has no human rights, it really means that he has no human rights, and anyone can pinch his face and tease him. And at this moment, Park Hyo-min, who has no human rights, is getting together with Sunny and Yoo-ri of Girls' Generation, Goo Hara of Kara, Seonhwa of Secret, and Hyunah of 4Minute, and then seeking their basic human rights. That's right, the G7 members of "Youth Undefeated" present are at a party, and Hyomin doesn't need to worry about pinching his face if anyone comes up.
"From this angle, it looks like this oppa is quite handsome. Hyuna wore a baseball cap and curled up on her legs in a chair. "More handsome than Jang Geun Suk's predecessors. I've been in the same company with him for so long, and although I don't see him every day, I'm quite familiar with it, so why didn't I find out before?
"No!" explained Goo Hara, holding up a finger in a matter-of manner. "A man's charm is not only based on his appearance, but also on his bearing and ability. Now Zhong Ming oppa sits in the middle, and he talks and laughs freely with the reporters, which is the typical center of the audience, and he will shine, so of course you will find him more attractive. β
"It's rare that Hola isn't naΓ―ve this time. Sunny gave Hara a surprised look.
That's right, Jin Zhongming on the stage is smiling and smiling at the moment, and he is calm and comfortable with these reporters, not only the group of people in the audience think that he is shining, but also Eunjing, Gu Hye-sun, and even Liu Dehuan and others next to him have been staring at him with a little admiration.
"Mr. Jin Zhongming. Another reporter stood up after being signaled by Lee so-geun, who was acting as the host. "I'd like to ask you a question about the schedule of this film. β
"Please. Jin Zhongming calmly signaled.
"It's Mr. Kim Jong-ming, and the crew of this movie has only been officially established since August. So far, it's only a three-month production cycle, and even I've heard that the review of the film was only completed a few days ago, so does this make the release of the movie seem rushed? And there are rumors that you, like "Good Morning President", are afraid of "Avatar" at the end of next month, so you don't hesitate to sacrifice the quality of the movie to forcibly promote the production and release of the movie...... Do you have any response to that? Thank you. β
A burst of laughter and discussion instantly rang out in the audience, the question was too mean. If one is not good, he will be saddled with the reputation of domestic films afraid of Hollywood, and Jin Zhongming himself started by relying on the anti-quota system in early 06, if he really bears this name, it will be a considerable blow to his reputation.
"Are all these film and television reporters so mean?" asked Yu Li with some almost venting questioning. "Yun Hao OPPA was like this before, obviously his acting skills have made a breakthrough in the later period, but he was still scolded by this group of reporters for depression. β
Sunny glanced at his teammate, who got along day and night, and Little Sun knew that Yu Li was making an old mistake, and this child's personality was due to the characteristics of this child, on the one hand, he always wanted to make a breakthrough, but on the other hand, he suffered from gains and losses. That's actually the case for the past six months. She first saw the great achievements of Kim Jong-myung's "Splendid Heritage", so she always wanted to find an opportunity to act, but then saw that Zheng Yunhao's "Header to the Earth" not only ruined her career as an actor, but also caused Gao Yala to almost give up her previous achievements, so she retreated from the path of an actor again.
However, this thought was just a moment, and Sunny immediately turned her attention to Kim Jong Ming on stage, and she was also curious about the other party's response.
"Correct your two mistakes. Jin Zhongming replied with a smile. There was no sense of anger. "First, whether the quality of the film has been sacrificed is not judged by the length of the production cycle. Isn't that right?"
Of course, the reporter also smiled and nodded, the crux of the problem is not here, the quality of the movie is something that can only be concluded after watching the finished film, so there is no need to talk too much about this matter.
"Secondly, although I can admit that I did take the initiative to avoid the highly competitive schedule of Christmas-Chinese New Year, but. It's not because of the movie "Avatar" that I'm avoiding. As he spoke, Jin Zhongming spread his hands. "Everyone should have confidence in domestic films, and don't blindly tout Hollywood. In fact, in my opinion, in this schedule, Brother Yun Seok and Kang Dong Won's predecessors teamed up and directed by Choi Dong Hoon directed "Tian Yuzhi". This domestic Korean fantasy blockbuster with an investment of 10 billion won is a big production that is absolutely qualified to compete with "Avatar". What do you think? I'm really not afraid of "Avatar", I'm afraid of being torn apart by the strangulation vortex created by "Avatar" and "Tian Yuzhi", why do you have to squeeze into such a fierce schedule?"
I don't know how many reporters scolded in unison. Obviously, he was afraid of "Avatar", but he was afraid of "Tian Yuzhi". That's right, it's a crime to be afraid of Hollywood blockbusters in South Korea, where nationalism is rife, but it's not a sin to be afraid of "Tian Yuzhi", which is also a domestic film, and Kim Jong-ming has also taken advantage of the situation to praise "Tian Yuzhi" to the point of being called the same as "Avatar", is this a competitor to kill next year's awards? Are you so good? Director Choi Dongxun knows?
However, although I thought so in my heart, everyone thought about how to write the manuscript in an instant, it's very simple, let's go back and blow "Tian Yuzhi" with Kim Jong-ming! Anyway, Koreans like this experience, as soon as they hear that a certain domestic magic blockbuster can shake James Cameron's movie, I don't know how many Koreans will listen to the climax of excitement!
"I see. The reporter who asked the question also recognized Jin Zhongming's solution, and sat back with a smile.
"So let's talk about the last three questions. Jin Zhongming looked at the time and made a gesture to Li Xiugen, who was sitting on the very edge.
"Okay, let's have the last three questions. Li Xiugen stood up with a smile and said. "Hurry up and watch a movie after asking, well, or ...... The man with the glasses over there, the guy in the second row, yes. β
"That's right. The male reporter stood up and took the microphone and said impatiently. "I'm a reporter for Yahoo Korean Entertainment. I'd like to ask a direct question. β
"Just say it. Jin Zhongming smiled slightly. "Which of your questions is not direct?"
The male reporter with glasses also smiled: "My question is, since this "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" has avoided the fiercely competitive Christmas and Spring Festival stalls, then Mr. Kim Jong-ming, how much do you expect the box office of this movie? Or to be more direct, I saw Mr. Zhang Dongjian and Lee Soon-jae's predecessors are also here today, and the "Good Morning President" that the two of them collaborated on is now being screened, so do you have the confidence to suppress this movie? Everyone knows. How sluggish is the film market now, there are too few movies that can make money, and the confrontation between the two films seems inevitable, right?"
The answer is simple. Jin Zhongming put away his smile and replied very seriously. "Even though I have always admired Lee Soon-jae and Jang Dong-jian, and I appreciate "Good Morning President", I have more confidence in my films. So, there is no need to save face, and there is no need to shy away from it, I think it can beat "Good Morning President"! As for how much it will be at the box office, I don't know. No one can say for sure. In short, it's as simple as that. β
As soon as these words came out, the young creators around Jin Zhongming nodded one after another, except for the inexperienced Enjing, who was still a little apprehensive at this time, the attitude of the rest of the people was very resolute, and they couldn't be cowardly at this time!
However, the media in the audience did not care. In short, the topic is stirred up first. Then look at your box office, if you win, you are a cow. You're a fool if you lose! So this reporter naturally has nothing to say, this is the answer he wants, I'm afraid you won't be tough!
Subsequently, the penultimate question was pointed out by Lee so-geun to the Chosun Ilbo, which is the proper meaning of the question, since people are here. You have to give face to South Korea's No. 1 newspaper.
"Mr. Jin Zhongming. Naturally, the Chosun Ilbo reporters had a different focus. "I wanted to ask about the Big Bell Awards the night before yesterday, and we noticed that you left the show with FX's Krystal directly after the final Best Picture was announced. Anyway, I want to ask you to talk about how you feel about this year's Big Bell Awards, I mean it's so controversial, and the controversy has not broken since the nomination......"
"I know what you mean. Jin Zhongming nodded and interrupted the other party's question. Then he sighed. "I know what you're trying to ask, even though this is the premiere of our new movie, we shouldn't be talking about anything else, especially since there are a lot of people in the cinema who are more qualified to discuss it than I am, you can go to them. But since you asked, and I do have some feelings, I'll say a few more words. β
The reporters were shocked when they heard this, and the bombardment of the Big Bell Award is a hot topic, although it is a bit vulgar, but as long as it is scolded, it is still topical.
However, Jin Zhongming unexpectedly had a certain understanding of this year's Dazhong Awards.
"It was really angry and angry at first. Jin Zhongming replied frankly. "Our company has invested in "Haeundae", and "Mother" is what I starred in, these two films, 12 nominations, only won one Best Project and Best Supporting Actor, it was really difficult to understand at the time, so I made an uncalm behavior. But yesterday, after I tasted it carefully at home, I also felt the helplessness of the Big Bell Award Organizing Committee. β
Journalists are interested.
"Since last year, the Korean film market has fallen to the bottom, and the Japanese side simply said that Korean films have collapsed. Jin Zhongming continued. "Throughout the year, it's not bad to have a few movies that don't lose money. And this year? From a business point of view, there has been a certain improvement, I remember the return on investment has changed from 0.66 to 0.74? However, I don't think that Korean movies themselves have recovered because of this, on the contrary, they have been a little confused by a high fever. Not to mention anything else, we have to admit that none of the films nominated for this year's Big Bell Award are as convincing as last year's "Chaser". "Haeundae" is too commercial, and in the end, the plot doesn't draw a circle, and "Mother" is too deep, which makes me and Brother Yuanbin almost depressed...... Don't laugh, the audience can't understand it. I mean, we really lack a good work that coexists with word-of-mouth and commerce! The Big Bell Award is indeed misbehaved, which no one can deny, but we can't blindly put the responsibility on the head of the organizing committee, which is also unfair......"
"Then is your movie such a masterpiece?" a reporter asked in a loud voice.
"All I can say is I wish it was. Kim Jong Ming smiled. "Because the box office is decided by the audience, and the word of mouth is decided by you. Well, time is limited, let's have one last question. β
"Well, the lady in red on the far left in the fourth row. Because Jin Zhongming's words were too long, and he saw that the time was about to come, Li Xiugen pointed at it very casually, and didn't pay much attention to the sign at all.
"Mr. Kim Jong-myung, I am a reporter for the Seoul Sports Daily. As soon as the female reporter came to the report, the scene began to be a little noisy, and in recent years, paparazzi culture has inevitably appeared in South Korea. However, there is no professional paparazzi magazine yet, so the first of the paparazzi culture is the entertainment version of Seoul Sports, one of the four major sports newspapers in South Korea.
Therefore, the reporters around them were laughing or laughing, anyway, they were ready to watch the excitement, but the group of people on the stage were a little nervous, they were afraid of being asked some disgusting questions.
"Since this is the last question, I'll ask an interesting question. The female reporter waited quietly for the noise around her to pass before she began to ask questions in a hurry. "Mr. Jin Zhongming, I just noticed that when you were answering questions, Miss Han Enjing next to me kept smiling and staring at you......"
There was a burst of laughter in the audience, and Jin Zhongming also looked at Enjing with a flushed face in surprise.
"Plus two people who also play imaginary couples on MBC's show, as well as a scandal that has been widely circulated before......"
"What the hell are you trying to say?" Sensing Eun Jing's nervousness, Kim Jong Ming immediately turned his head to stare at the reporter. "Let's do it as soon as possible!"
"I want to say that regarding Miss Han Enjing's acting skills, she performed extremely clumsy in the previous "Examination of Death", which showed her face the most, so the fact that she was chosen as the heroine always makes people think about it......"
"Listen to what you mean, could it be that I have an unspoken rule, Enjing?" asked Jin Zhongmingpi with a smile.
"I don't ......"
"What do you think, Enjing?" Jin Zhongming turned his head again to look at Enjing, whose face had become a little gloomy. "People still can't believe you!"
The reporter of this Seoul Sports Newspaper followed closely without showing weakness: "I mean the acting ......"
"Let's watch a movie!" Kim Jong Ming stood up. "Friends of the media, please put away the equipment, and then go to the scheduled screening room to watch the movie!"
"Mr. Jin Zhongming!" the female reporter shouted unrelentingly. "You haven't answered my question yet! That's the last question, you promised. β
"I answered!" Jin Zhongming glanced at the other party coldly. "I said, 'Let's watch a movie!'"
After that, Jin Zhongming protected Eun Jing inside, and then left the press conference directly, and all the main creators also came out with black faces.
The female reporter from the Seoul Sports Newspaper was stunned for a moment, but she didn't ask any more questions, but lowered her head and began to pack up her equipment like the other reporters. Because as Kim Jong Ming said, just watch the movie, and the answer is in the movie.
To put it bluntly, it's still a king or a loser!
