Chapter 118: Relay Demonstration (Part I)

March is cold!

It was the rush hour at half past seven in the morning, the biting wind was blowing, coupled with the foggy weather, and there was a lonely education and insurance building near Guanghuamen, so everyone walked by here and couldn't help but speed up their pace, wanting to quickly avoid the sudden cold.

However, in the cold wind, Jin Zhongming stood upright, with a cardboard sign hanging on his chest, on which the words 'Stick to the quota of domestic films' were written. As a human being in two lives, Jin Zhongming participated in this kind of secondary school behavior for the first time.

And the source of power that allows Jin Zhongming to straighten his waist is An Shengji, who is half a head shorter than him. An Shengji is also the same as Jin Zhongming, with a serious face hanging a slogan of the second secondary school, and unlike his own students, whenever someone comes, he will take the initiative to step forward and show the words on his chest.

At eight o'clock in the morning, perhaps the media also started to work, TV stations, newspapers, magazines, and even onlookers, including the onlookers, surrounded the teacher and student in the center on the third floor and the outer three floors. Just kidding! The gossip actor who is on fire, well, both of them are male protagonists, cough, the male protagonist is standing here, plus the rare national actor An Shengji, the teacher and student are standing here against the cold wind in order to protect the quota of domestic films, how beautiful and lively, uh no, what good news material, how can you not watch enough?

Of course, there are also those that spoil the atmosphere!

"Zhong Ming oppa, we are your registered fans, your variety show is so funny, can you sign us?" In front of nearly 100 media, on the almost paralyzed traffic line, three little girls who looked like middle school students ran over and asked Jin Zhongming for an autograph!

"Hurry up and go to school!" Jin Zhongming straightened his face and drove the three bear children away. If you really bow your head and sign it. Don't say the pen of hundreds of media outlets. Even An Shengji can't spare him!

Dozens of minutes later, when Ahn Sung-ki and Kim Jong-myung were interviewed by SBS and MBC respectively, Park Cheol-min, Park Won-sang, and Jung Seok-yong, several actors who live in Seoul and have enough incense with Ahn Sung-ki, also arrived and joined the team.

"Swear to defend domestic films!" An Shengji suddenly shouted a slogan.

"Swear to defend domestic films!" Thanks to Kim Jong-ming's excellent acting skills, almost immediately, he also raised his arms and shouted with An Shengji.

This is the real idea behind Kim Jong-myung's hideous face when he appeared in the Chosun Ilbo.

The matter is not over yet, An Shengji may be really excited, he waved his hand. With Kim Jong-myung and two or three big cats and kittens, they marched around the Seoul City Hall together.

"Domestic films need our defense!"

"Filmmakers are adamantly resistant to quota cuts!"

"Please face up to the pitiful situation of domestic films!"

At first, Jin Zhongming just kept repeating Ahn Sungji's words, but after taking a few steps, he was completely let go, and he could even take the initiative to shout slogans. It's just acting, this is Kim Jong-ming's physiognomy, anyway, he has to go to Gwangju to play a similar role when the summer comes.

The demonstration lasted for five hours, and at 12:30 p.m., Kim was finally able to follow Ahn Sung-ki to a Chinese restaurant for a bowl of fried noodles.

"What do you think? Will it work?" After the other people said goodbye, Ahn Sung-ki asked for another fried noodles, and asked Kim Jong-ming this question when he broke his disposable chopsticks.

Kim did not answer immediately. Instead, he glanced up at the teacher in front of him, and he didn't understand until now. It turned out that An Shengji had long known that this demonstration might not be fruitful.

"Then why does the teacher still take the lead in this committee?" Jin Zhongming asked with a frown.

"There's no way, since these companies, directors and officials usually treat me as the number one actor in South Korea, then I have to play this number one actor in Korea at this time. Besides, maybe this game will really succeed!" An Shengji has no reservations about his students.

"But I always felt that there was no chance of winning, and as far as I know of any director who came forward to echo you during the formation of the committee. Kim tried to steer the conversation to a key point.

"That's right, but I'll use my connections to summon a few directors to try it out these days. An Shengji stumbled and swallowed it in a big gulp.

It turns out that you still don't know the position of the directors guild this time, Kim Jong-ming is even more curious, so why does Ahn Sung-ki think that this time the chances are not good?

"So what does the teacher think is the problem?"

"I think it's the impact of the progress of the times, just like free trade is an unstoppable trend, and I'm afraid that the extreme protectionism of movies will be eliminated sooner or later, but I can't see the specific situation clearly, and I don't know if the power of protectionism is as fragile as electronic products or as strong as agricultural products, so"

"So you think you still have to stand up and give it a try?" Jin Zhongming nodded in his heart, An Shengji's judgment could not be said to be problematic, but he didn't realize that this incident actually had no possibility of success at all.

"That's right, what about you, do you think you'll succeed?"

"I think success depends on whether the directors are organized or not. ”

"That's not wrong at all, so let's take it one step at a time!"

To Kim Jong-myung's surprise, two famous directors were involved in this matter that afternoon, and when he first saw the news on the website, he thought it was Choi Dong-hoon fooling him, but fortunately he opened the webpage and read the news carefully, and then he realized what was going on.

The first director to speak out was Park Chan-wook, the fourth director of Chungmuro, who was in Germany at this time for the Berlin Film Festival public, and after learning the news, he actually held a one-day relay demonstration in Berlin, and the director held a sign at the gate of the German Film Palace for four hours! But if you think about it carefully, you can understand that firstly, this director in Germany may not know the decision of the director's union, and secondly, this is Choi Min-sik's absolute partner, Choi Min-sik's temper has always been the most fierce on the quota issue, and Park Chan-wook has to pinch his nose to play this play just for Choi Min-sik's face.

The second one to speak out is even more famous, this is Kim Ki-duk, the international signature of Korean art films! However, the attitude of Kim Ki-duk, who is also hanging out in Berlin, is very interesting, he does not support any quota system, but is purely approached by interested reporters to dismantle the stage! When the reporter asked him what he thought of Ahn Sung-ki's demonstration, Kim Ki-duk complained expressionlessly: "What does the quota system have to do with me? What is the use of me getting more awards? Isn't my empty room a Silver Lion Award? But it can only be shown in a theater in South Korea for one day! The quota system is not there and it is none of my business, it's a big deal that I can put a movie theater in my own wallet for a day!"

Well, this guy has a big opinion on the whole Korean movie, and it is his most common thing to go back and ridicule after winning the award, but even though everyone knows that this is just Kim Ki-duk, who likes to make trouble, he is still greatly demoralized.

"Teacher, forget it!" Kim Jong-myung went to a film company on Chungmuro Road, which was used as a temporary office by the Second Secondary Committee.

"It's always unwilling, let's wait!" An Shengji was a little excited, he worked hard to be the first to stand up and start this movement, even if he knew in his heart that he was being used as a gun by some people, but did he dare to say that he didn't have any ideas in his heart? Just like Lin Quanze, who was in the bald movement back then, he became the godfather of Korean movies, why can't he try it?

However, the next day came a major blow!

Jang Dong-jian, the most popular actor in South Korea at present, appeared! Just as everyone expected, the climax of the whole event was immediately set off! On the same day, as soon as Jang Dong-kyun appeared in Gwanghwamen, he caused a sensation, and in just a few dozen minutes, hundreds of media outlets and thousands of onlookers gathered. This was supposed to be a good thing, but Zhang Dongjian's idol fan was too strong, and thousands of onlookers immediately caused a diffusion effect, and in the end, the whole of South Korea knew that Zhang Dongjian came to Gwanghwamen, so jaw-dropping things appeared, thousands of female middle school students skipped class to see their idols, and the scene changed from a demonstration to a fan meeting. What makes people even more speechless is that after about 10 minutes, because of the paralysis of traffic, an old man fell down in the crowd! To be honest, there is no glorious tradition in South Korea that an old man cannot be helped if he falls, not to mention that hundreds of media are filming here, but Zhang Dongjian's legs trembled and he was stunned! This guy fled directly to the Jiaobao Building, and the whole demonstration was over!

But fortunately, the day after the end of this farce, a real morale-boosting event appeared, and the next morning Choi Min-sik sent all the medals and trophies issued by the government directly to Gwanghwamen!

Choi Min-sik has always been known for his violent temper and daring to speak and act in the whole of South Korea, the name of the shadow tree, he sent things to the city hall, and the people at the city hall did not dare not accept it. So Uncle Choi stood at the door of the city hall, holding the trophy that was about to be handed over, and the other holding a medal, and began to talk about the invasion of American culture, from the weak quota system of Korean films to the issue of the occupation of the American garrison!

In the afternoon and evening of the same day, almost all filmmakers with heads and faces began to talk about topics such as the preservation of Korean culture, and the whole movement immediately showed a wave of vitality, and almost every Korean was discussing whether another skinhead movement was about to appear! (To be continued......

PS: ps: An Shengji's incident happened a month ago in the plot, and it needs to be postponed for a month for the sake of the plot, so it doesn't have much impact
