Chapter 313: What a Movie! (Medium)
The movie only officially started after the fifth minute, or whether it was the audience or the protagonist himself, they all woke up like a dream after watching the Mapo Bridge be blown up in front of their eyes......
When you wake up, it's time to get down to business!
When all the staff in the studio were still in a daze, he immediately returned to the radio station from the window, and then picked up the phone on the table to call back to the terrorist who said to blow it up, and when the host found that the phone was no longer available, he quickly called the police. At the same time www.biquge.info the radio host with the microphone also reveals a little bit of professional sensitivity of a media person - he holds the phone in one hand, but the other hand is already writing and drawing on a piece of paper.
A few words that are very scribbled - scoop, the word exclusive is also instinctively drawn in a circle.
Up to this point, the protagonist's behavior is quite normal and still within comprehension...... But then, a divine turn that was no less than the bombing of the bridge just now came again! The police call was connected, but I don't know what was going on, but the actor who was slightly stunned at the manuscript paper immediately told the police station that he had made a mistake and hung up directly. Moreover, he also stopped the PD who had just pulled out his phone to call the police!
PD was puzzled, but the actor gave a reason to convince everyone again - the other party's warning just now was actually during the advertisement, in other words, no one knows about this matter except for a few people in the studio, so from the perspective of a media person, this is a big scoop! And this level of scoop, as long as a camera comes over to do a live broadcast, it is a big rating, and then a big benefit!
What are the benefits? Maybe it's fame, maybe it's pure advertising money and other financial benefits, but in any case this logic is real, otherwise where would the media need to grab the news? The audience immediately 'accepted' the strange behavior of the protagonist, and the media who came to the premiere today also felt the same way.
That's right, once the police are called, this show can't be done! And the so-called fame and fortune are moving, so PD was immediately convinced.
Of course, with such a short plot, all the audience immediately understood that this protagonist is not the traditional protagonist in his imagination at all, he is clearly a utilitarian bastard!
In other words, PD was convinced, but just as he was about to apply for a camera from above, the protagonist took advantage of the fact that the other party was still a little unrelieved, and offered to leave everything to him, and he would negotiate with the above. Immediately, the actor walked out of the studio for the first time, on the one hand, he went to the bathroom to freshen up and get ready for the camera, and on the other hand, he also showed a very strong network that does not seem to be a radio anchor qualified to have at all, because he actually contacted Director Li of KBS TV station directly on a phone call, and called each other 'brother' very affectionately on the phone!
At this point, some of the protagonist's background is finally revealed through this phone call and later a simple phone call with his ex-wife:
used to be a KBS nine-o'clock news anchor, because of a program scandal that didn't know the specific situation, he was used as a scapegoat by the director, don't say that nine-o'clock news has nothing to do, he can't even get on TV, he can only become a radio anchor;
At the same time, after the so-called house leak happened to be rainy and his career collapsed, the former nine-o'clock news anchor named Yin Yinghua tried to make a comeback by stealing the exclusive news of his wife as a reporter, but the matter was revealed, and he was embarrassed again, and the two even got into a divorce and separation;
However, compared to the wariness of the TV station director because of the previous events, the protagonist still has deep affection for his ex-wife who is about to report on the bridge bombing, and all this he does is certainly for the sake of turning around in the workplace, but it is also to save the failed marriage.
Uh, one more thing, our protagonist asked PD to hand over the matter to him not only because he was too excited, in fact, in order to successfully pull the director into the water, Yin Yinghua directly asked the director to come over in person to share the honor and interests of this news, for this reason, he took the opportunity to kick out the innocent radio program PD!
At this point, the background of the protagonist has basically been explained, and the director has agreed to send a camera over, and the so-called "horror live broadcast" has been standard.
In the eyes of film professionals in the various screening halls of the cinema and the media who are accustomed to all kinds of rhythms, the so-called follow-up stage has actually been completely built at this time, and the main plot will officially unfold between the male protagonist Yin Yinghua between the anchor and the terrorist who is obsessed with Yin Yinghua himself......
In fact, in the next shot, Yin Yinghua has already tried to explain the so-called plot to the director played by Li Jingrong - this kind of live broadcast must be people-oriented, terrorists took advantage of the traffic light to blow up both ends of the bridge, trapped a large number of hostages on the bridge but did not kill anyone, which shows that the other party must have a story to dig up, who is he? and what is the purpose? And the task of the protagonist is to repent of the terrorist who said in the live broadcast that he didn't want to kill people and took the initiative to contact the media, preferably that he wanted to commit suicide, but in the end he was influenced by the protagonist to give up suicide and turn himself in.
It's just a perfect plot! The so-called ace-to-ace typical discussion.
But is that really the case? Or maybe from the moment the bridge was blown up, no one could keep up with the pace of the film.
Sure enough, the plot went down, when the actor who still had a bloody eye in the corner of his eyes sat in front of the camera like a dog and was ready to broadcast live...... Many knowledgeable people and even the audience noticed that something was wrong.
"This looks ......," Jin Wuxing sneered. "How do you feel that this Yin Yinghua anchor is full of decline, could it be that he will mess things up?"
Jin Zhongming was surprised to glance at the powerful faction next to him who was firmly in the top three in the ruling camp.
"Don't look at me like that...... I'm a real person, and I never like to act outside, so I'm often informal. As he spoke, Jin Wuxing laughed self-deprecatingly. "I have been scolded seven or eight times for 'playing a big name' at the airport, and last week I directly pushed the salute to the assistant and was photographed by reporters, and it made headlines, but I was immediately squeezed out by Zhong Ming's news......"
As soon as these words came out, not to mention a few laughs behind her, even Ms. Park on the other side couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth...... Jin Wuxing's biggest problem seems to be this, he always doesn't know how to put on a show, so his political image is not good. But then again, if he even has a prominent political image, how dare Aunt Park use him?
"That's not what I meant. Seeing that the seats around him were all figures from Aunt Park's campaign camp, Kim Jong Ming also smiled without scruples. "The reason why I look at you is actually to admire your vision...... Because at that time, this makeup was arranged and performed according to the so-called 'you can understand at first glance that this guy will definitely mess things up'. And in order to make this feel like this, I really stayed up every night during the whole shoot until my eyes were red, and then I smoked and drank alcohol to barely do it. At this point, Jin Zhongming paused slightly before continuing slowly. "From this point of view, Commissioner Jin Wuxing is still quite talented in acting, and when everyone is still unconscious, you can understand it at a glance!"
At this moment, Aunt Park, who was still laughing informally and chuckling at someone just now, immediately glanced at this side quietly, and Jin Wuxing also wisely closed his mouth with a straight face, and this area in the screening room was immediately silent.
"Good looks!"
As the saying goes, laymen look at the excitement, insiders look at the doorway, when the KBS TV anchor played by Kim Jong-myung appeared in the camera, in another screening room, Ahn Sung-ki, Choi Min-sik, Lee Jung-jae, Jun Ji-hyun, and Jang Hyuk sighed in their hearts from another angle...... Because in their opinion, the character in front of them can convey a certain artistic conception just by makeup and looks, and from the perspective of actors, it does play a certain role.
Zhong Ming said that he could win the actor in this movie...... Sure enough, it's not false. Choi Min-sik whispered.
"Hey. An Shengji replied easily. "If the character of a whole movie has this tension, even if you don't win the actor, it will be a masterpiece of the actor level, and then it doesn't matter if the actor is the actor or not......"
"That's because you have dozens of movie stars in your hands, the so-called full man doesn't know that the hungry man is hungry, and people like me and Zhong Ming still value that thing very much......"
"You've been pretty ...... lately Eager!"
"No way. Choi Min-sik's face was full of sadness. "All the energy in the past half a year has been on "New World", but not only did the two politicians (Lee) Jung-jae and (Hwang) Jung-min in the same movie perform well, but I also encountered this "Horror Live" and such a Zhong Ming, and I was really helpless. ”
"Finally speaking from the heart, you are actually afraid that Zhong Ming will press you, 13 years is another empty ......" An Shengji chuckled.
"I'm not afraid, if it goes on like this, not only you, but also Kang Hao will throw me down, Zhong Ming and Zhengzai will also come from behind, and it will be really embarrassing when the time comes......"
"A good movie depends on fate...... However, now that the film market is revived, there are still opportunities. ”
The two bigwigs, you and I said a word, and they actually discussed these gossips directly. And the other actors under CUBE, who were obviously one level lower than each other, looked as usual and seemed to be watching the movie seriously, but they muttered in their hearts, because they vaguely felt that something was wrong...... It stands to reason that now Kim Jong-ming is being scolded like that by the progressive media outside, there are still his own little brothers in the film industry who are anti-water, and today he is protesting from fans, and even now he is still in a show in another screening hall with a group of politicians who eat people and don't spit out bones, why are these two still in the mood to joke?
Can't figure it out!
However, there is one more person who can't figure it out, but the direction of this person's thinking is another matter.
In other words, the plot continued to go down at this fast pace while talking, and then as predicted by the host's terrible face, the plot also followed an equally bad development trend- The terrorist was obviously more difficult to control than the host and the director of the TV station imagined, and he immediately made a request for a whole amount of money, claiming that if he did not see the money, he would turn around and go to the MBC TV station in Yeouido, which was also in Yeouido...... The film is set from beginning to end to a point where some people find it weird and even unsettling.
"I don't think it's going to be that simple......" In the corner of a large screening room, Bong Joon-ho muttered to Han Hyo-joo beside him, taking a small notebook to take notes.
"Hey!" Han Hyo-joo replied softly in embarrassment.
Well, there's a reason why these two people sit together strangely. It was originally Park Chan-wook and Song Kang-ho, two old acquaintances, who came with Bong Joon-ho, but they knew Bong Joon-ho's old problems better than anyone else, and they knew that this guy would have to keep bb with people when he watched the movie, and if it was really a simple bb, the key was that the level of this guy was still high, and the plot analysis was basically inseparable...... When the time comes, sit with him, are you watching a movie or listening to a movie appreciation with spoilers?
So, not long after entering the cinema and getting the ticket, he bumped into Lee Byung-hun and Han Hyo-joo head-on, and heard that the tickets they took were in the back row, and the two immediately forced Bong Joon-ho to exchange tickets with Han Hyo-joo, but Lee Byung-hun is not stupid, he has also been in the Korean film industry for more than ten years, and Bong Joon-ho has never seen or heard of any, so he turned his head and took Han Hyo-joo's ticket.
So, after tossing around, it is now Lee Byung-hun, Song Kang-ho, and Park Chan-wook in another screening room, but Bong Joon-ho is sitting in the corner of this screening room with Han Hyo-joo, who doesn't dare to resist at all.
This can be regarded as an alternative fresh experience, the only pitiful thing is Han Hyo-joo, not long after the movie started, she was already stunned by this non-stop director...... And what's even more helpless is that, first, her seniority and position are there, and she can't help but cater to the other party, and secondly, the big director rarely predicted the plot wrong twice at the beginning, and now she is in new trouble, as if her mood has become a little unstable.
"I mean, the plot is not going to develop right, it seems that if it continues like this, it will really develop as the host and the director claimed...... But that's obviously not right. "Bong Joon-ho doesn't care what he pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, what does he say.
"That Fengdao, do you think the conjecture of the director and the host about the next development of things just now still makes sense?" may have felt that a simple perfunctory voice was a little impolite, and Han Xiaozhu hurriedly took the initiative to follow the other party. "Isn't this already a mess?"
"It still makes sense. Bong Joon-ho replied quickly to the other party. "This mess is just a trick gun, maybe it's an introduction, but it doesn't actually have any practical significance for this core live broadcast......"
As soon as the words fell, as Bong Joon-ho expected, the ransom episode was quickly resolved, and the terrorists in the movie immediately received the demanded amount...... Because the director believes that this money is meaningless in the face of what is destined to miraculous ratings.
"See, that's the problem. Bong Joon-ho was relieved after his prediction was successful once. "If you want to analyze whether the plot of a movie is reasonable or not, Hyo-joo must first learn to bring in each character and analyze it from his point of view. For example, at this time, we should analyze it from the perspective of the other protagonist who determines the direction of the plot, that is, the terrorist who did not show up......"
"But, the terrorists didn't show up with Ben?" Han Hyo-joo interjected cautiously and puzzled. "He just made a phone call. ”
"Why did he call?" Bong Joon-ho asked seriously, holding a pen in one hand and a small notebook in the other.
Han Xiaozhu's face was at a loss, in fact, she was just asking a 'polite' question, and she didn't think too much about any role at all.
"Because he wants to speak, he wants to talk to the outside world!" Bong Joon-ho temporarily closed the small notebook and analyzed for the other party. "He has very little information, but it is very important, he is a worker on the construction site, he is very dissatisfied with the gap between the rich and the poor and the national policy, he is very chattering when he calls, and he is very angry after being hung up......
"Yes. ”
This shows that as a person at the bottom of the society, he has no channel to speak at all, and he has no right to speak in this society, so like many criminals and terrorists, he regards the actor or the media represented by the actor as a voice channel, and he needs the media! Therefore, the appearance of this live broadcast is inevitable! And at this time, there is actually no difference between KBS and MBC, and since the actor is in KBS, he must stay in KBS live broadcast, otherwise it is better to let the actor go to MBC as a host......"
Han Hyo-joo kind of understood.
"But that's where I wondered. Bong Joon-ho continued to analyze. "You see, in terms of the characters who appeared, although the terrorists had bombs, although the host and KBS's ...... Well, Director Li, the two are very shameless, but the three need each other, and the goals of the three are the same on the issue of doing live broadcasts, so from this point of view, the success of live broadcast as a whole is inevitable......"
"However, the atmosphere of the plot and Zhong Mingxian's successful expression and posture imply that the live broadcast must be messed up, which is a bit contradictory, is this what it means?" Han Hyo-joo was finally clicked through.
"Yes. Bong Joon-ho frowned tightly. "But Zhong Ming, as a screenwriter, will definitely not be so stupid, there must be something destined to affect the direction of the plot, I haven't noticed......"
Han Hyo-joo glanced at Bong Joon-ho and then at the big screen, as if he had something to say.
"Did you notice something?" Bong Joon-ho reacted as well.
"Did Director Bong forget something?" Han Hyo-joo reminded with a chuckle. "The person the actor still loves very much, that is, the ex-wife played by Li Zhen's predecessors, is still interviewing on the spot...... This should be a major breakthrough point that changes the overall plot, right?"
"Oh!" Bong Joon-ho suddenly realized. "That's true...... The ex-wife has feelings for him, and the feelings will catalyze the plot, and then force the protagonist to change his neutral position and walk on the opposite side of the break with the terrorists......" At this point, Bong Joon-ho suddenly stopped, and even put away the small notebook in his hand irritably. "Still not right!"
"What's wrong?" Han Hyo-joo didn't know. "Isn't that a good plot direction?"
"It's not that the ex-wife is not important, but that jumping out of the movie, from the perspective of Kim Jong-ming, the creator of the plot, this plot is not to his liking at all. Bong Joon-ho held his chin with one hand, his eyes blazing, but his voice was muffled. "So, there must be something I haven't noticed. ”
Han Hyo-joo wanted to ask again, but the other party suddenly seemed to have no meaning to speak, so she had to give up.
"Based on my many years of experience in the workplace. But in the same screening room, a reporter from a TV station made an interesting discovery from another angle. "The PD who got kicked out will definitely get revenge. ”
"And then also based on my many years of experience working at the newspaper. Sitting next to him was another print reporter who was also a media person, and he also smiled and agreed. With Jin Zhongming's ridicule this time, this director will definitely betray the actor again...... Otherwise, it's unconscionable!"
As soon as these words came out, a group of media people around them nodded yes.
