Chapter 312: What a Movie! (Part I)

After living in South Korea for so many years, Kim Jong-ming has become accustomed to certain things, and even said something like pretending to be thirteen, thinking that he had seen the race turmoil in Los Angeles shortly after he was born. However, on the afternoon www.biquge.info of December 5th, at the gate of a certain cinema in the Meijia Cinema Line in Yeouido, Kim Jong-ming seemed to have seen a long time - he encountered a demonstration and protest, and it was against himself!

That's right, the reporters and the organizers of the premiere all went to ask carefully, and the slogans and slogans were clear that these dozens of socially responsible middle-aged protesters were coming for Kim Jong-myung, not for candidate Park. These people said that they are all movie lovers, and some of them are fans of Jin Zhongming, and the reason why they came here today is because they are upset about "Snowpiercer", and secondly, they are angry that Jin Zhongming gave up the ethics of a literary and artistic worker!

The former has tarnished their values, and the latter has failed their former passion!

To tell the truth, it is not uncommon for people in the Korean entertainment industry to encounter protests because of their political positions.

For example, Aunt Ren Soon-yi, in a certain time and space in the later life, was blocked by protesters because she accepted the invitation to the gala of the American garrison, because the time of the party was too sensitive, and it was only three days away from a certain anniversary date when the US military ran over and killed a Korean high school girl. And in the end, Aunt Ren Shunyi went (because she signed a contract), but after going on stage, she could only bow and thank you, and she didn't dare to sing a single song.

There is also the founder of the Busan Film Festival, Mr. Kim Dong-ho, the government's right-hand man in the film industry, who was once stopped by his own right-wingers and pointed at his nose and scolded. Later, when Mr. Kim Dong-ho talked about this, he was very aggrieved, and he was not alone in the Busan Film Festival, so why should most of the left-wing films in it be counted on his head?

Well, without further ado, back to the present. In December, South Korea is almost all over the country with rallies and speeches, and supporters and protesters of certain candidates are doing things with each other at an equally high pace. But then again, it's the first time Kim has seen protests against him...... It's really fresh.

However, fresh is new, but this protest must be taken seriously and properly handled, otherwise with the tradition of the Koreans who are always vigorous, something will really happen...... Well, of course, this tradition doesn't refer to the level of the dead, but if someone throws a glass bottle or something in the pile of artists who come and go, you're quite helpless, right?

And to be honest, this group of protesters who came out of nowhere probably noticed that their protest object, Kim Jong-ming, was paying attention to them, of course, it may also be because the media present maintained great interest in them, all kinds of interviews, photos, and photography, and some of them were not pulled down.

In short, seeing that the premiere is getting closer and closer, this group of people is getting more and more energetic.

"What's going on in this situation?" Kim Jong-ming grabbed a person sent by Candidate Park to fight the front station and humbly asked for advice.

"This must not be top of them, but it also can't be followed. "The person who came was really a professional, and the head of the story was the Tao. Or, never let them feel valued, but also not let them feel ignored, because both can stir up their emotions...... There is no fixed way to deal with these people, but in the final analysis, it is to let their enthusiasm fall. ”

Jin Zhongming nodded again and again, he didn't really understand, but he was a little dizzy when he encountered this for the first time, and at this time, after talking about it on the other side, it seemed to be a little bit clear.

So, when he came to his senses, he immediately took two small measures.

The first is to move the red carpet and other ceremonial venues to the studio, and the photo and interview areas are directly moved to the indoor hall of the studio, which not only greatly reduces the contact area between the artists and the protesters, but also forces a group of media to make a choice, either to come to the studio to play, or stay outside with the group of protesters to blow the cold wind of December day. Actually, the media are not stupid, they are just asking for news, so after taking some symbolic photos of the protesters, they still honestly went indoors and waited for other materials.

Another measure is also very simple, which is to send warmth to the protesters who remain outside and the security guards who maintain order, there is nothing else in the cinema, there is no shortage of popcorn and hot drinks, if you are tired of shouting, drink two sips and shout again.

The two-pronged approach has indeed diminished the enthusiasm of the protesters quite a bit. However, aside from these objective means, what really made these people's enthusiasm decline was some other imagination that appeared as the premiere approached the scene.

In other words, the reason why this group of people came to the door of the movie theater to protest was because it was easy to attract attention here, so as to create pressure on Jin Zhongming, so that he could be touched, and on the other hand, they came here in the hope that some artists could retreat in the face of difficulties like Aunt Ren Shunyi mentioned earlier, so as to more intuitively reflect the results of their protests.

But in fact, what discourages these people is that seeing the start time of the movie premiere getting closer and closer, under the cold wind of the early winter evening, more and more people from the entertainment industry come here to cheer without being affected. What's even more frustrating is that many of the guests are people they trust and respect very much in their daily lives, and some of them can be called so-called left-wing cultural figures.

In this case, their enthusiasm will inevitably decline even faster.

To be honest, it's understandable that An Shengji is here, after all, no matter how you say it, everyone is a teacher and a student.

Then Choi Min-sik, Jun Ji-hyun, Lee Jung-jae, Jang Hyuk and a group of people also came to cheer early, and they also cooperated very well to interact with reporters in the media area of the hall, which was not unacceptable. Because these people are actually signed actors under Kim Jong Ming, no matter how you say it, they are all eating the bowl of rice of CUBE, so it's not good not to come.

But then, famous directors such as Choi Dong-hoon, Kang Di-gyu, Na Hong-jin, Kim Ji-woon, famous actors such as Lee Byung-hun, Kim Yoon-seok, Han Hyo-joo, Moon Geun-young, Jang Keun-suk, Song Joong-ki, etc., also came in turn, which made these protesters standing in the cold wind feel a little unhappy. Because in their opinion, the artists who choose to come over at this time have a feeling of succumbing to power and standing in line, which is the kind of behavior they hate the most.

But the matter is not over yet, and after a while, the two big guys, Li Cangdong and Lin Quanze, each wore a small gray padded jacket and entered the studio slowly, uh...... It's a bit of a puzzle for them. But that's not all, the horror is still to come, and when the premiere is about to begin, Song Kang-ho, Park Chan-wook, Bong Joon-ho, the three main creators of "Snowpiercer", also came together and walked into the cinema in a grand manner, which is simply slapping this group of protesters in the face!

However, when I thought that the movie "Snowpiercer" seemed to be still sealed in CJ's hands, this group of people couldn't get angry, but that momentum was inevitably affected again.

Gradually, as the sun sets, the sky becomes darker and darker, and the weather gets colder and colder. And finally, seeing that Ms. Park and her party entered the theater in a low-key manner to 'have fun with the people', the last bit of artists and reporters at the entrance of the theater were all clean, and it seemed that they were ready to participate in the event in the warm theater...... At the entrance of the movie theater, it seems that only a group of loyal security company employees are left to accompany them and these protesters.

Therefore, after a few leaders discussed, it was really a bit of a retreat.

However, at this moment, Jin Zhongming actually sent someone over to send warmth, and a few reporters came with him. As a result, these dozens of protesters immediately reorganized their formations, and even organized a loud slogan to negotiate with Su Xiaoya, who came out to send warmth.

"What is this?" said one of the leading uncles.

"It's a movie ticket. Su Xiaoya replied helplessly. "Our boss wants to treat you to a movie. ”

"Which movie to watch? "Snowpiercer", we watch, "Horror Live" or anything, I'm not interested!"

"Our boss...... Mr. Jin Zhongming said that the people who came here today, whether they were film colleagues who came to watch the movie, or the audience who came to watch the movie, or all of you, actually came here out of love for movies. Su Xiaoya cheered up and said to these people. "So, everyone's starting point was the same. However, compared to others who are willing to believe in his professional ethics, you may have a deeper love for movies, so you may misunderstand him......"

"We can accept the evaluation of the love of movies, and we will not accept the misconception of this statement. ”

"That's good. Su Xiaoya nodded helplessly. "In short, there is such a grand event held in the theater today, Mr. Jin Zhongming really can't take the time to come out and explain to you in person, just let me convey his greetings...... What he means is that as a public figure, you have the right to judge how he is, but he also hopes that you will not take your personal grievances onto the film itself......"

"Is that what he said?"

"So you're going to let us watch a movie?"

"Actually, it makes a lot of sense...... It's so cold outside. ”

"You can't just go back, why don't you go in and have a look?"

The voices became jumbled, and it was clear that the group of people had been moved for various reasons, otherwise they wouldn't have made so many different sounds at the same time.

"Everyone, no matter what, the movie is innocent, you haven't seen this movie yet, why do you have to put a so-called label on it? Don't you be afraid that you will miss a really good movie because of this?" Noticing that these people were moved, Su Xiaoya hurriedly struck while the iron was hot. "This is a movie ticket, please give this movie a chance, this matter is only related to the movie, and has nothing to do with today's protest and the judgment of Mr. Kim Jong-ming...... How?"

said how, but in fact, Su Xiaoya had already distributed the tickets, and those people did not refuse again, and then after a period of discussion or self-persuasion, this group of people really entered the cinema with movie tickets in hand...... They didn't even forget to pack up the slogans and stuff them into the trash before leaving, and it seems that the environmental literacy of Koreans is still not black!

And just as Su Xiaoya, accompanied by several reporters, successfully fooled dozens of protesters into the cinema, on the other side, Jin Zhongming also began to fool reporters at the press conference...... To tell the truth, in the current sensitive situation, he would never allow this group of reporters to ask for anything, so he had to pinch his nose and sing a duet with some well-bought reporters.

I saw this guy wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, sitting on the stage, holding a microphone, and talked at length about the development process of Korean films, and talked about the economic and cultural effects brought about by the revival of the film market today...... Anyway, he is ready to talk about any issue to his heart's content, and he must fool the half-hour press conference.

In stark contrast, after the real big man Aunt Park came to the cinema, she did not engage in any leader inspection style, but was very close to the people, avoiding the stars and reporters here, and directly took the movie ticket into the screening hall...... This is actually a kind of normality, and you usually have to put on a show, not to mention the most critical statutory election month?

Of course, if you really have to look closely, some things can still see a little clue, because the people sitting in the positions around the aunt are either her senior assistants or bodyguards, and if you look closely, you can recognize a few other political bigwigs who often appear on TV, anyway, it is still a little far away from ordinary audiences.

In short, the whole premiere itself seemed extremely lackluster, there was no imaginary violent collision, no imaginary self-defeating, and the vast majority of guests had a feeling of drowsiness.

For these reporters who came to cheer, although this time the incident was very topical, the topic itself was focused on outside the premiere, and it was difficult for them to do something like a slap in the face in public with a thick red envelope and a targeted invitation, so the feeling of being dull and perfunctory in the audience was even more obvious.

However, fortunately, you can watch the movie after the press conference, even if this movie is suspected of being full, even if it is less than "Snowpiercer", there is such an expected collision, but in any case, this "Horror Live" is starring Kim Jong-ming. It's been so long, just as Song Kang-ho, Bong Joon-ho, and Park Chan-wook's movies won't be suspected, Kim Jong-myung's movies won't be considered bad movies anyway......

There is no special VIP screening room, and everyone's movie tickets are randomly collected when they enter the door, reporters, actors, directors, ordinary audiences, fans who came in by lottery to participate in the press conference, protesters who temporarily flickered in, as well as the main creators and guests, all of them were scattered together and randomly entered each screening hall.

The only thing that is certain is that Kim Jong-ming ignored everyone's strange eyes, went directly to the screening room where Ms. Park was, and then sat down in the middle of the campaign team in a grand manner...... In fact, the seat between the eldest aunt and her chairman of the election countermeasures committee, Kim Moo-sung, was originally reserved for him.

"Come to Zhong Ming, sit here, I heard that your sister's college entrance examination results are quite good?" Aunt Park looked extremely kind, and what she said when she met was also very homely, and she really felt like a neighbor aunt she met in the movie theater, so that people couldn't see any superfluous things. "Why, she didn't show up today?"

"Studying at home to prepare for the interview. Jin Zhongming chuckled. "However, in fact, I didn't call an idol today, no matter how familiar they were, they sent a message asking them not to come, making it like this, saving me trouble again......"

As soon as these words came out, several senior assistants sitting in the two rows behind Aunt Park, as well as the old Jin Qichun on the other side of her, laughed knowingly...... In such a sensitive period, compared to the actors who are still somewhat autonomous, the idols are almost all political vases at the mercy of others. If you really want to call a few idols with bright company backgrounds to come over and cheer you on, I'm afraid it will only add fuel to the fire in front of you. And Jin Zhongming said this, although he was self-deprecating, but he also faintly complained that the other party had dragged himself into the helpless situation in front of him.

But then again, if you look at a thing from many aspects, others think that Jin Zhongming is complaining, but Mr. Jin Qichun has a obviously different opinion on this: "Actually, don't say anything idol, those who engage in movies, all think that they have more backbone than others singing, and they also stand more stable, but today, aren't there still so many famous directors and actors? Therefore, these people who are engaged in literature and art are essentially the same thing! To deal with this kind of person, as long as you are tougher than him, the other party can only give in!"

Kim Jong Ming smiled but did not speak.

"Alright. Aunt Park also seemed to be a little helpless about her chief secretary, so she could only smile and wave her hand. "Zhong Ming is indeed quite difficult...... However, in South Korea, it is difficult to do anything, because as long as you do something, someone will jump out against you, and even if the thing is done in the end, there will always be people below who feel that they have been wronged and then hold a grudge...... But this is also something that can't be helped, South Korea is the national situation, you see, isn't the protest at the door today a ready-made example?"

Listening to the other party's change from Kwon Jin Qichun to refute himself, Jin Zhongming had no choice but to nod convincingly.

In this way, a few more gossips were spoken, and as the movie showtime approached, the lights in the screening room finally began to go out. Come to think of it, no matter which screening hall it is at this time, and no matter who it is, perhaps the vast majority of people have temporarily put aside things other than movies and are ready to simply watch this model movie about terrorist attacks.

"How does it feel...... Today's premiere lacks a bit of passion?" At this moment, Jin Wuxing, who was sitting next to Jin Zhongming, suddenly opened his mouth in a low voice, and because of his sensitive identity, as soon as he spoke, many people before and after him squinted their eyes and pricked up their ears, but when they heard this, they didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the other party.

"What do you mean by Commissar Kim?" Jin Zhongming also turned his head and asked unappreciatively.

"Literally...... This premiere feels so normal and smooth, it's all so normal that it has a sense of déjà vu. Jin Wuxing sneered. "I thought it would be quite exciting today, but when I looked around, there was nothing, and even a few protesting fans were pulled in to watch the movie...... To be honest, I was disappointed. ”

"Commissar Kim, this is not too troublesome to watch the excitement. Someone behind him jokingly followed for half a sentence, and the voice seemed to be like Aunt Park's number one think tank, Zheng Hucheng. "I don't understand the difficulties of Representative Kim Jong-ming at all...... Is it normal and smooth?"

"Actually...... I did this on purpose. Staring at the big screen that had lit up in front of him, Jin Zhongming finally explained casually. "The main reason is that the plot of this movie is too exciting, so it's better to be soft at the premiere or something, which is also taking into account your psychological endurance...... Anyway, you're all getting old, aren't you? Who's to blame for having a heart attack at the end?"

Compared with before, Jin Zhongming's tone at the moment seemed so different, as if the lights in the screening room had been turned off and his spirits had been lifted...... On both sides and behind them were the so-called political elites, and many of them looked at them in surprise, such as Jin Wuxing, who seemed to want to take the opportunity to say something more. But it's a pity that Jin Zhongming's time is very accurate, as soon as the words fall, the music at the beginning of the movie has already sounded in the ears of everyone over there, and the audience has already calmed down, and these people have to turn around and watch the screen.

On the big screen, the opening change is very fast, but it is just a twist of the head, the cube logo of CUBE and CJ's four-color windmill have been printed into the audience's eyes at the same time, and then the two logos quickly disappeared, and the picture quickly dimmed, turning into a black electronic flickering screen...... It's like someone is chasing you from behind.

And further down, there is no traditional movie name display, and there is no cumbersome labeling such as the leading actor. In fact, almost instantly, against a flickering black background, a familiar and standard radio female voice has begun to broadcast the news, which means that the film has officially begun:

“…… From the East Lake Bridge to the Thousand Households Bridge, the east-west traffic is good, and the road is smooth. In addition, there is a news about the road conditions that needs to be foretold...... This morning, the President will attend the 19th Diet Consultation and deliver a speech at the National Assembly Building, and traffic will be restricted near Yeouido. I wish you all a pleasant morning, and it is KBS Choi Hye-jung who will broadcast the road conditions for you. ”

It's good, it's powerful, and in the opening thirty seconds, when many people are still confused, the president has already appeared in a movie that is destined for a terrorist attack through the news. In addition, in these two short sentences, the undisguised Yeouido National Assembly Building, KBS without any traces of ps, and the real-name and real-life appearance of a well-known morning radio host in reality...... To tell the truth, although I know that this is done to create a real background and facilitate the audience to bring in, some sensitive audiences, especially the group of politicians around Kim Jong-ming, seem to have felt that this movie is a bit exciting at this moment!

At the end of the radio broadcast, the picture opened, a standard radio equipment appeared on the screen, and Kim Jong-ming's voice also sounded with a hint of fatigue: "Thursday morning, it's 9:31, you are listening to Yin Yinghua's "Daily Headlines", and now, let's listen to the audience's opinions on discussing the government's income tax reform......"

Fortunately, I don't know how many people breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately it was not Jin Zhongming's "Daily Headlines", and they knew to change their names.

The plot of the next two minutes is simple, tepid and common...... Kim Jong-myung plays a radio host who wears sunglasses but can't hide his tiredness, and hosts a morning current affairs show on KBS. And then appeared in turn, in addition to the PD and staff sitting outside, that is, the two interactive audience members who called in and appeared through their voices, one was a construction site worker who complained that the income tax was inclined to the rich, babbling that he couldn't pay the electricity bill, and the other was a fan who had no brains to show his love to the host...... In short, the two-minute plot and the protagonist's expression feel very consistent, that is, it is very similar to today's premiere, smooth but soft and collapsed, which makes people unmotivated.

However, before the first five minutes of the audience's enthusiasm period ended, it was only about the third minute or so, and the interesting things came to say...... The first person who called in to complain about the income tax actually called again to make a connection, and this time the KBS radio technician couldn't hang up his phone at all, forcing the radio program to go into commercial time! Then, the worker who claimed to be Park Roo-kyu became emotional because of the radio hanging up on him, and after a few words of speculation, he even made a declaration to the host Yoon Young-hwa -- I have a bomb, and I will blow up the Mapo Bridge on the Han River today!

People who don't know the movie know what's going on, and then, according to the conventional routine, it seems that it should be the battle of wits between the male protagonist and this terrorist...... However, without waiting for the audience to make up any flowers, the next second, the host played by Jin Zhongming sneered directly, and in turn urged the other party to quickly blow up the bridge to save trouble!

Crash?

Somewhat.

Isn't it reasonable?

That's reasonable! Normal people would answer this kind of declaration when they hear this...... Hurry up and fry it, I want to see it too!

For the first time in the screening room, there was laughter in the film, and even Aunt Park, who was next to Kim Jong-myung, laughed along...... However, it was just a little laughing, because the plot was still going at a pace and rhythm that no one could keep up with!

After this mocking and ridiculous dialogue, calculate the time, at this time the movie is only five minutes away, and with a rumbling noise, everyone is dazed along with the protagonist sitting in the studio...... Listening to the sound, it seems to be thundering outside the studio?

The actor instinctively tried to continue hosting the show, but immediately there was a rumbling sound...... This is a bit like thunder, in fact, everyone in the studio is starting to feel weak, and the actor finally can't sit still! He got up and opened the shutters of the studio on the upper floor of the KBS TV building, and then joined the audience in the whole screening hall in a stunned and dazed face!

It turns out that from this height of the KBS building, something is clearly visible -- the Mapo Bridge in Yeouido, which is so familiar to all Koreans, has been blown up! And it continues to be bombed!

The actor is a spirit, and he has just woken up from his tired face! The movie has just begun at this time!

Well, at the same time, all the audience in the screening hall woke up, among them, Jin Wuxing suddenly turned his head with an expression like Jin Zhongming's face in the movie, and looked at the initiator next to him - what about the main theme blockbuster in the background of the terrorist attack?

If you blow up the Mapo Bridge in the first five minutes, what are you going to do next?

However, it's also quite exciting!

PS: I'm sorry for everyone again...... Let me tell you what happened and then scold, the night before yesterday to 12 o'clock when the code was 3k, so I couldn't ask for leave, but I was about to sleep, and suddenly I had a weird feeling, and I always felt that the three thousand words had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu...... Could it be that I unknowingly plagiarized myself? So I couldn't sleep, but I couldn't find which chapter was similar to it, and finally I asked a time-poor book friend to help me read it...... His statement is, I don't feel it if you don't say that you have a sense of déjà vu, but when you say that I really have such a sense of déjà vu...... So the two of us started looking for what we called repeating chapters...... Anyway, the psychological factors are greater than the actual problem, and in the end, I didn't find it until more than four o'clock, and I didn't even get enough sleep...... And then it's the so-called chain effect, the next day I have to work in the laboratory, and because of sleepiness by the instructor training, I come back at night is not energetic, I am still very aggrieved in the summer, blowing the air conditioner is easy to hurt joints, blowing the fan dizziness, probably strong until seven or eight o'clock, directly fell asleep again, and then in the second half of the night nightmare was urged by you to wake up, up against the air conditioning cold wind code thousands of words, it is a chapter...... This kind of day, it's not that I find a reason for myself, it's true that part-time writers have a tight schedule and can't have problems, but when the weather is not right, this code word state is particularly fragile, and as a result, I encountered such a nonsensical thing, anyway, the whole person is not good!

And this chapter was changed in the morning because I didn't have time to correct the typo, and then I was afraid that you would scold, so I secretly yawned during my lunch break in the lab.
