Chapter 108: Removing Obstacles (Part II)
Kim Jong-ming didn't talk to Jang Eun-hyuk in the car, this was because he suddenly came to his mind and followed Jang Eun-hyuk to the other party's new home in Jamsil, and he decided to take the opportunity to take a look at Aunt Lee Ting-hyang, who brought him into this line, and chatted with Jang Eun-hyuk at the dinner table by the way.
"So you've already made up your mind?" Jang Eun-hyuk put down the dishes and chopsticks in surprise. "Then why don't you tell me, and you shouldn't have talked to anyone in the company, right? You can just say it, and then make a decision directly, no one will object to you!"
"I can't do that. Jin Zhongming replied while nibbling on a piece of ribs. "Because this decision is problematic, no matter how much, there must be a certain probability that the quality of the film will be sacrificed. I'm not the kind of person who can give in to commercial interests at a cost, I learned this truth nine years ago that summer, so it's against Kim Jong Myung's will, and as the producer and director of this film, I shouldn't say anything like that, because it's against my professional philosophy, and finally, in the same way, as a representative of this company, I don't allow myself to make proposals that are detrimental to the corporate culture. ”
"What about you?" Jang Eun-hyuk was completely flustered.
"But in two days I have something to do that I can't be distracted from. Jin Zhongming explained slightly. "I hope you can understand, uncle. ”
"I can certainly understand that. Jang Eun-hyuk picked up the rice bowl again, but he immediately put it down again. "It's still not right, why don't you tell me directly secretly, that's also against me, today I am with that Kim Yingshuo, do you know what I mean?"
"I understand. Kim Jong-ming glanced at the two children who stared at him and Jang Eun-hyuk curiously, the older one was a boy, and now he was a glorious primary school student, and the younger one was a girl. Now I'm just holding chopsticks by myself, uh, but I'm not very skilled. "But didn't I just say it? This proposal is wrong, it's not right, that's why I asked that Kim Young-seok to make this suggestion. Well, that's a smart guy. And he is very adaptable, and now it seems that he, a person from the university road, has fully adapted to those things in Chungmuro. ”
"Zhong Ming, you really impress me. Jang Eun-hyuk was stunned for a moment and then couldn't help but smile bitterly. "And what about me? I'm still pretending to be a literary youth there. Original"
"So I came. Jin Zhongming replied calmly. "Come and tell you that trust and use are two different things, you can rest assured that you can maintain your original intention and ability in this company, and at the same time gain honor and wealth. I haven't changed, and you don't have to. It's as simple as that. As for Kim Young-suk, his ideas may not be in the right direction with us, but his ability is undoubted, and it is difficult for me as a filmmaker to accept him, but as a company representative. I will give him a raise and promotion, so that he can be fully rewarded for his efforts. ”
"I understand, I understand. Zhang Enhe nodded again and again, he really understood, said a thousand things and ten thousand, Jin Zhongming dangled in front of their husband and wife when he was a child, and some things don't need to be said too thoroughly, he also understands what the other party means.
"Alright, let's eat. Li Tingxiang saw that the two of them finished talking. So he immediately urged.
"Auntie is interested in coming out to work?" Jin Zhongming started a new topic after taking two bites casually.
"Me?" Li Tingxiang smiled suddenly. "Didn't you say that? The famous New Wave directors of our generation were all shooting stars, and they were gone when they flashed. Guo Zairong filmed "My Sassy Girlfriend", and then immediately began to be full of bad movies. I made a "Love, Come Home" and then simply stopped. What can I do if I go again?"
"Make the kind of pure art film that has hundreds of thousands of viewers. Jin Zhongming replied calmly. "Of course, a film company needs commercial interests if it wants to gain a foothold, but the kind of art film that loses money and makes money is a necessity in the process of the film company's growth. If you come, I'll let you be the director, and you can pull people by yourself and I can provide the funds. Then you go and pull a big name who wants to transform, won't an art film come out?"
"Why didn't you come to me when the company was founded?"
"It's simple. Jin Zhongming replied calmly. "At that time, I was already preparing to make Mr. Jiang Cao's innocent works, no matter what, your "Love, Go Home" is the peak of Korean innocent films, if I had pulled you into the company at that time. Auntie, do you say that I should ask you for advice or not? Will you give me advice or not? And later after it was determined that "I Love You", it was even more so, because the theme and warmth of this movie are more similar to "Love, Go Home", so I dare not look for you. ”
"You're still so stubborn. Li Tingxiang responded with a wry smile, Kim Jong-ming, who was sitting opposite her, was brought back to Seoul by his wife from Los Angeles when he was in elementary school, and he was the director of his first movie, but the other party didn't save her face at all, and the answer just now was that I was afraid that your existence would rob me of my reputation.
"Then Auntie, are you coming?" Jin Zhongming smiled and avoided the other party's accusation-like statement, he was qualified to play such a trick, because the two people sitting opposite him were the elders he could rank in the top ten and deserve to be close to.
"Of course. Li Tingxiang thought for a moment. "If I'm with Eunhyuk and I have enough time, I can really take care of the two children, and I do want to try again to see if it's what you said. ”
"What?" Jin Zhongming asked puzzled. "What am I talking about?"
"A New Wave film director like a shooting star, or something that has been scrapped or something. Li Tingxiang pouted and replied, and at the same time wiped her little daughter's mouth, although this little guy couldn't understand what the adults were saying, but it was obvious that she listened too attentively, and saliva and soup flowed out of her mouth.
"You're stubborn enough, too. Jin Zhongming smiled and replied to that sentence.
Guests and hosts have fun.
"That's right, Zhong Ming. When he went out to see Kim Jong-ming away, Jang Eun-hyuk suddenly remembered something. "You mentioned earlier in the meeting that the Tree Artist and SidusHQ seem to be trying to squeeze us, is this true or is it a lie made up in order to follow Kim Young-suk's decision as soon as possible?"
"Half-truths. Jin Zhongming sneered (this time I really want to sneer) and said. "SidusHQ's Cha Seung-jae does have a similar idea, but Queensway, a tree artist, is still hesitant, but none of this matters, because I can solve this problem right away, so you can prepare for the post-production work of the movie with peace of mind, uncle. ”
"I see. Jang Eun-hyuk nodded and went home with peace of mind.
Outside the house, the lights were already on, and Kim Jong-ming drove home to get ready for a good rest. However, at the same moment, someone fell into the point of behaving at a loss.
"No, Chairman Zheng, don't you be fooled by your own subordinates? Those people are all intertwined, if you do what they want today, how will you, the new president, continue to be the new president in the future?" In a high-end restaurant on Chungmuro, Cha Seung-jae was already sweating profusely.
"Representative Cha also knows that I just took office with President Lee this year?" asked Jung Jin-ju, the new chairman of the Korea Film Promotion Council, with a smile on his face. "Then what do you say I'm going to talk to the people in the Revitalization Committee? They hold the filmmakers when they are facing the government, and they don't let go of the government when they are facing the filmmakers. You know they're hard to deal with?"
"But, but I think I should be fine!" Cha Seung-jae's tears were about to come out, this big man who stabilized Lee so-man in the Korean entertainment industry was really anxious.
"If there is a problem, I really don't count. Zheng Jinzhou smiled and took Cha Seungjae's hand. "Lao Zheng, I have known you since I was a director of the tourism department of the Seoul Metropolitan Government ten years ago, and I will be honest with you today. For example, if you and I are on the censorship committee from top to bottom, dozens of people say in unison that your company's film can only be banned for 19 years, then what do you think I can do?"
"That's only 19 bans. Cha Seung-jae replied with a sad face. "I can't help it, and neither can you. But that group of people is still very reasonable, and if they say it in public, it means that the movie can really only be banned for 19. But what about me? How many movies have I produced? I'm also a well-known figure in this circle, and I'm about to retire, shouldn't I want to be a university professor? I don't lack money or fame in my life, and at the end of my life, I should take the name of a professor and mix up my social status? Am I not a professor for my contribution to the Korean film industry?"
"Of course you can!" replied Zheng Jinzhou with squinted eyes. "You can be a professor in any way, but it's a professor at Dongguk University, not a professor at Chung-Ang University. You go and become a professor at Dongguk University, and the offer will come down immediately. But the professor of the film department of Chung-Ang University is not so easy to be. First, as we just said, those committee members just don't want to write you this recommendation signature. Second, there seems to be something waiting for you to say something from Chuo University?"
"I'm not short of money. Cha Seung-jae immediately became energetic when he heard this, he would be mistaken, in fact, most of the time he and Jung Jin were discussing the issue of money when they were together.
"It's not about the money. Jung Jin Joo took Cha Seung Jae's hand and explained. "I'm in this position now, and I want to be the same as you, I also want to finish this five-year term and then go to a university professor, plus we have a friendship, so I deliberately asked about this matter carefully. Lao Che, tell me the truth, did you offend Ahn Sung-ki, who has a huge influence on the Korean film circle, and an unknown rich man who can influence the Central University Council? Otherwise, you would never have fallen into this situation and didn't know what was going on at the same time?"
"I know what's going on, and I know who it is!" Cha Seung-jae suddenly saw the light of day, he stood up and brushed his hair, and the previous bearing immediately returned, because thankfully, he knew that this time his film professor at Chung-Ang University was back in his hands.
PS: It's true that Cha Seung-jae has worked hard for several years to become a professor at Chung-Ang University, but in the end he can only become a professor at Dongguk University. The so-called people have their own ambitions, this person who has pressed Li Xiu for half his life is actually bent on retiring and becoming a professor when he is old, and he doesn't know whether to be sarcastic or admired.
