On October 3, the 18th Busan Film Festival opened at Haeundae, Busan as scheduled, and Aaron Kwok and Korean actress Kang Shouyan did the opening ceremony together.

And sure enough...... Well, there's no need for any reason, it's obviously more high-grade than any TV festival on the stage. In fact, in the eyes of Koreans, even at night, the plastic sheeting food stalls on the edge of Haeundae Beach seem to have a special charm, and even vaguely feel that it is a cultural tradition. Even at this time, major media will tacitly set aside a special page for relevant food stall reports.

For example, which famous director drank five bottles of soju in one sitting? Who sat with whom to show intimacy? Which goddess-level actor put down the shelf and laughed in public? Which foreign celebrities were tamed by this traditional Korean culture?

Anyway, something like that.

"The new government is not bad, there are a lot of subsidies for the cultural sector, and the market has picked up in the past two years, and Korean films do feel like they have entered a climax. I dare to assert that in the next few years, the highest box office of Korean films will continue to refresh ......"

"I recognize the speculation of the box office, but for the government...... I have a bit of an opinion, let's talk about the so-called not suffering from widowhood but suffering from unevenness, although the current government's subsidies for the cultural sector are a lot, but I feel that they all fall on variety shows, Korean dramas, and even those idols, and movies have not received much benefit. ”

"It's already good! Don't you watch the leftist filmmakers? Although the positions are different, there are not many complaints this year. ”

"The main thing is that the overall situation is good, and leftist filmmakers are not good at going against the trend. ”

"In fact, when it comes to leftists, in the eyes of the government, apart from those royal figures, the film industry, and even the entire cultural circle, which one is not a leftist?"

That's a big truth. ”

"What is Representative Kim Jong Ming looking at?"

"Huh?" Jin Zhongming came back to his senses and smiled at the person next to him. "I'm looking at the food stall opposite, and the person who went in just now seems to be Cui Minzhi's senior. ”

"Really?"

"I guess so, you guys, I'll go say hello. With that, Jin Zhongming put down the wine glass that had never touched his lips at all, patted the head of Baker, who was squatting on the ground, and left the scene directly.

"We ...... Did you say something wrong?" there was a moment of silence in the food stall under the plastic sheeting, and then someone immediately couldn't help but ask. "You think I just criticized the government? But hasn't this person already fallen out with the Blue House?"

"This kind of saying that there is no one who has a falling out with whom among the big people, it is just interests. ”

"That's right, I can't talk about the people all the way, haven't you watched the state visit a few days ago?

"But if that's the case, then he shouldn't care too much about what we say, right?"

"If you don't care, why do you want to listen to it?" said someone who had not spoken all this time. "Maybe Representative Kim Jong-ming really saw Cui Min-sik's seniors, and then he had something to explain!"

"Like...... It's really Choi Min-sik's senior!"

"In that case, don't worry, come, drink!"

"Cheers!"

In this way, the food stalls, which were already drunk with three points, immediately became lively again.

On the other side, I have to say that Baker is indeed a conspicuous guy, separated by two layers of plastic sheeting, in fact, Jin Zhongming doesn't know if the person inside just now is Cui Cannon, but he just walked over with a big dog, and the people over there were very sure who was coming. And when Jin Zhongming came to the door and opened the curtain, not only did the people inside get up to greet him, but even the seat at the top was vacated for him.

"Zhong Ming!" Cui Minzhi was really here, and probably because they had only met once in a few months, he looked a little happy when he got up to say hello.

"I felt like you just now, but I didn't dare to be sure. I didn't say you were going to come to Busan, but I remember you said you were going to stay on the boat until New Year's Day?" Kim Jong-ming tied Baker to the door, and then walked in with a smile. "Could it be that the crew thought you were acting too badly, and then kicked you out?"

"Hey. Choi Min-sik shook his head with a smile. "It's not that I broke my promise, and it's not that anyone dares to slap me off, it's really too sad on the boat, I want to vomit when I eat seafood every day in Jindo, and then I suddenly heard that Busan's seafood tastes more chic, so I can't help but escape......"

When the two of them finished their unfunny jokes, the rest of the crowd laughed for a while, and then they all sat down with the two.

"What the hell do you say?" After three rounds of drinking, Jin Zhongming asked about the crew again. "Didn't you say that the shooting task is very tight, how can the seniors have time?"

"The shooting was really tight, and I really didn't plan to come here. After drinking a few glasses of wine, Cui Minzhi, whose face was flushed, explained with a big tongue. "It's just the past few days on Jindo...... Well, what kind of ship collision or physical trajectory capture and the like are you doing it, you just use the computer every day to simulate some waves and boats on the footage that has been filmed, and then something goes wrong, so that the entire director team turns their attention away, and the actors' scenes naturally stop all of a sudden. Wouldn't it be helpful for me to stay over there, so I just came over and had a look, and it was a rest......"

Jin Zhongming nodded slowly, relieved: "It's reasonable, this kind of real-life shooting in a large-scale naval battle is the first time that South Korea has done it, and bumps and bumps are inevitable." ”

"It can't be said to be a bump. Hearing this, Cui Minzhi became more and more serious, although the smell of alcohol was still there, but the drunkenness disappeared a little in an instant. "On the contrary, the progress on our side is actually beyond expectations, and it is estimated that if it continues like this, it will be no problem to complete the production before the end of the year......"

"Really?" Jin Zhongming was stunned for a moment. "Was it a solar or lunar calendar before this year?"

"Of course, it's the lunar calendar, the year of the Spring Festival!" Cui Minzhi replied angrily. "New Year's Day is only more than two months old, how did it come in time?"

"That's going to be hard. Jin Zhongming frowned when he heard this, instead of being displeased.

"What do you say?" Choi Min-sik's drunkenness was a little less, and the other people at the wine table also held their breath.

"The issue of schedules. Jin Zhongming replied with a little embarrassment. "Don't tell you from your predecessors, if it's really the New Year's Day schedule, it's okay, because I was going to promote my own movie on the New Year's Day schedule, and I changed it. But if it's the Spring Festival schedule, I've actually promised Huang Zhengmin's predecessors "International Market" and "Ming Liang", I'm afraid I'll have to wait a little longer. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Cui Minzhi already understood which movie this "International Market" was, and who was promised the Spring Festival schedule, and there was a burst of instinctive irritability and dissatisfaction in his heart at the moment...... It's just that he suddenly remembered that the other party had just followed the Blue House to participate in a state visit, and some things seemed to be excusable. And besides, there are a lot of familiar juniors in front of him, and the atmosphere in the plastic shed is just right, and Jin Zhongming looks so embarrassed, so some things seem to be really hard to say.

Therefore, this cannon-like figure just frowned, nodded after all, and did not say much.

On the other side, Jin Zhongming glanced at the other party's reaction, but immediately put his mind at ease...... In fact, as the nominal producer and actual investor of the film, how could he not know the progress of the film? And the reason why he came to the other party was actually that he felt that the moment seemed to be a good opportunity for the other party to explain the matter. After all, this kind of thing has long been said to be good morning, if it really drags on to the matter and involves conflicts of interest, then even if it is sincere, I am afraid it will be useless.

As for this way of dealing with the atmosphere and turning around, it is actually a good thing, because Choi Min-sik has too many contradictions in him that it makes Kim Jong-ming feel elusive- A devout Buddhist and a top filial son, but his screen image has always been very fierce; he never pretends to the upper class, but he rarely grudges with others because of personal matters; decades of drama performance experience have made him have strong restraint and control over the acting itself, but he is always full of passion for the things in life; even this passion is divided, on the one hand, he seems to have a natural resistance to authority gene in him from the bottom, but on the other hand, he has achieved something in his career and has a high reputation, he always hopes to be able to expound his social value in a decent way, and finally, don't play with the universal impulse of Koreans……

Of course, no matter what, Choi Cannon, who may be difficult to entangle, still cares about the surrounding environment this time to save some face for Kim Jong-ming, it seems that for Koreans, the wine field is indeed a suitable place to talk.

And probably because he has a heart, he thinks that Kim Jong-ming is not the only one who is suitable to talk in the wine field, and the location cannot be limited to the food stalls of the Busan Film Festival. In fact, at this time in Seoul, there are also people holding wine glasses and saying some things that are not easy to say on weekdays, and compared to Kim Jong-ming's dragonfly water, when he touches it, this person is disemboweling his heart.

"We must not give up the strategic layout that we have adhered to for a long time because of some setbacks in front of us. Li Xiuman, who was sitting at the top, said slowly, and whether it was from the bloodshot eyes or from the extremely serious face, it seemed that the attitude of this tyrant-like figure at this moment should still be sincere.

But for some reason, in the face of such a sincere statement, the company's senior management looked bitter and did not say a word.

"Yes, I know!" Li Xiuman held the wine glass with one hand weakly, as if to support his body. "I know why you don't speak, and I know what you think...... Of course, I also know that since we set up relevant subsidiaries in order to complete the industrial layout, we have not once said about the past achievements. Not to mention the investment time and time again, it has become a laughing stock in the industry for various reasons...... The movies we make ourselves are jokes, and the movies we co-produce with insiders are also jokes, the TV series we make ourselves are jokes, and the TV series we cooperate with TV stations are still jokes, and it becomes a joke after signing a big-name actor, and even our idol, which was originally very promising in the film and television industry, is now a joke in the industry...... But I still have to say that we must not give up the industrial layout, the company's own small ecosystem of entertainment industry!"

"President. At this moment, an elderly company executive finally couldn't help but speak. "You don't have to. We all know what is going on in your family, and we all know what it means to call us all over this time, but no matter how you say it, it's just a temporary delegation of power, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation. And let's be honest, even if we don't understand, it doesn't matter, because we are all your henchmen. In the eyes of those of us, this company was built by you after all, and now you are still the largest shareholder and the chairman, and everything is still up to you. If you ask us to assist Kim Young-min or anyone, we will have no complaints, let alone the company's strategy? If you really set a fixed strategy, even if the person is not in the company, will we still oppose it if a phone call comes? Why is this so?"

"That's the problem. Li Xiuman looked helplessly at his undoubted henchman. "This thing, it's really not a phone call, because I don't want you to make a TV series again, but I want you old people who follow me to understand from your heart that this is a strategic thing, and it is the direction of development that the company must persevere!

The cronies immediately fell silent, and the problem returned to square one. As a matter of fact, everyone does not understand Li Xiuman's so-called strategy, and after so many years of implementation, how can he not understand it? Li Xiuman's intention to invite everyone to have a drink this time is not ununderstandable, and an entrepreneur with a strong personal color needs to delegate power appropriately because of his family and his own age, and he is afraid that people will leave and the government will rest, and he is also afraid that the situation will be unstable, so he calls his confidants to confess, and who does not understand?

The first half of the wine table, that is, about what personnel to cooperate with Kim Yingmin and the like, these people are still sincere, but when it comes to this company's strategic issue, as revealed in the conversation between Li Xiuman and his cronies, everyone has reservations after all.

The answer couldn't be simpler, what did President Li say about the industrial layout and what entertainment ecological strategy sounded very reasonable, but in fact, not to mention the benefits, and even so far there has been no light!

Therefore, you can rely on your own control to make everyone take a mouth, and you can even use your prestige to make everyone comply in behavior, but you can't convince everyone!

In the face of this situation, to be honest, Li Xiuman looked around, and inevitably felt a trace of bitterness in his heart, because in his opinion, SM Company is actually at a very critical moment......

In fact, years of ups and downs in the business world and immersion in the entertainment industry have made Li Xiuman have such a vision and awareness very early, that is, in the future, the boundaries between the entertainment industry will become smaller and smaller, and the diffusion of the idol industry will become more and more obvious. The position of the company will become more and more difficult, and on the other hand, if you want to manage the idol well, you will need more and more diverse resources.

Of course, it is to take the first step, lay out the industrial pattern in advance, and turn the rich returns of the Hallyu industry into investment over the years, and the company's core industries and advantageous industries cannot be lost, but if film and television dramas and variety shows can get involved in some of them, so that the company's funds can circulate in their own industrial ecology, then it is a real and stable situation.

But when he came back to the present, the group of people in front of him, or these cronies of his own, couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the times and couldn't keep up with their own ideas, which really disappointed Li Xiuman.

"Actually...... I think there's a little bit of a misunderstanding about our previous failures. In this way, there was silence on the wine table for about a few minutes, Li Xiuman suddenly gritted his teeth, and then took the wine glass and drank it all, but he regained his energy and continued to explain. "Let's not talk about getting involved in a new field, where is there a place where we don't meet? Let's just say that at the beginning, we tried to make our own movies and TV series, but now it seems that it is actually a crime of non-war!"

Everyone was slightly stunned.

"Let's be fair, when the film and television drama industry fell into a trough seven or eight years ago, who in the Hallyu circle wasn't eager to try?" Li Xiuman carefully observed, and sure enough, many people bowed slightly, so they became more and more helpless in their hearts, but they were still generous and high-spirited. "But now, what layman dares to get involved in the film and television drama industry wholeheartedly? After all, at that time, everyone in South Korea underestimated the barriers between circles. And now who doesn't know that movies are the bans of those traditional filmmakers in South Korea, and TV dramas are the bans of those TV stations? After so many years, isn't it just Kim Jong-ming who has successfully pressed into it? Moreover, he himself has been recognized in the industry by virtue of his own background. ”

At this moment, almost all the people in the table nodded yes.

"Speaking of which," Li Xiuman suddenly smiled bitterly. "The reason why I insist on expanding the industrial layout is also a layer of helplessness, that is, our company's position as an industry leader is actually very embarrassing, and sometimes we have to directly face the attitude of Jin Zhongming, a giant, and this attitude is a ...... with duality"

"This ...... President, what do you mean by duality?" the resolute cronie from before suddenly became sensitive.

"Do you have any inside information? Please let the president explain!" someone next to him immediately followed.

"Duplicity. Li Xiuman shook his head and smiled bitterly. "One is naturally that we have to guard against the other party suddenly turning their faces one day, think about it, if we don't have the ability and right to speak in making TV series and variety shows by ourselves, then one day the two families will fall out or people will want to rectify us, how should we deal with ourselves? At that time, people didn't let our idols be on variety shows, and didn't let our idols act in TV series, what can we do?"

"Not really?!" someone nervously unbuttoned the neckline. "Although it was a little inappropriate to say before, it was when he was young and unstable before. In the past two years, that is, the two years when Mr. Kim Jong Ming really called for wind and rain, haven't we always gotten along well? And Sika and Krystal ......"

"That's the second attitude I'm going to talk about. Li Xiuman looked at this person and smiled slightly. "As you said, there has been no direct conflict between our company and that little bastard in the past two years, and it can even be said that we have gotten along well, and this situation is probably due to the fact that the bond between Sika and Krystal has always been very strong. So what, calling him national oppa on the Internet, and calling him the first sister in Asia in China and Japan, it all makes sense. In short, the other people's industry is getting bigger and bigger, and the situation is getting more and more open, so it is understandable that we have some leeway for the sake of raising his two younger sisters. But have you ever wondered how long this solid bond can last? Girls' Generation will renew her contract next year, can it be stable in the future? Of course, the opportunity must be seized......

"President. Someone suddenly reacted with a little excitement. "Are you implying ...... The reason why the company insists so firmly on the road of horizontal expansion is because Representative Jin Zhongming has made a commitment and is willing to give us some opportunities in related aspects?"

The atmosphere on the wine table opened up instantly, and many people suddenly realized, and some people even looked forward to it.

"I can only say that there is a hint!" Li Xiuman secretly gritted his teeth again, but gave an affirmative reply with a smile on his face.

As soon as these words came out, I could only hear a bang, and the wine table immediately became lively. It can be seen that for the senior executives of these companies, their explanations that have been painstakingly spoken all night may not be as good as Jin Zhongming's specious and even illusory attitude of an outsider, and the effect brought by the latter is simply not ordinarily good.

But at the same time, President Li, who watched all this with a smile on his face and had been up and down in the business for many years, was a little indifferent in his heart, because just now, he had already sentenced all his henchmen to death in his heart...... Of course, this must have been after he snatched his wife back from cancer for the second time.

Before that, he had to temporarily entrust the company to Kim Young-min and ...... These people!
