Chapter 077: Involuntary Enlightenment (II)

PS: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone!

"What if...... You just left with Jin Wuxing, and you really won't be able to come back to this office again. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Aunt Park looked at the door mockingly. "I should have thought he would pick up the leak at the door!"

"Congressman Jin Wuxing has deep qualifications and strength, maybe he will help you choose and then try to do it yourself, and it is actually my blessing to invite me to coffee in this capacity." Jin Zhongming smiled slightly. "Why is the chairman so strong?"

"Don't talk about that." Aunt Park was sitting behind her desk, but her eyes drifted to the two photos on the table. "After you left, I thought about your words, and then thought about some things and people, so I think we can talk seriously again."

"In that case." Kim Jong-ming also looked at the two photos. "Why not start with these two photos?"

"It's just two pictures." Aunt Park was a little excited. "A photo of my family of five when I was a child, and a photo of my nephew and my brother's family after he was born three years ago...... Nothing to say. ”

"Actually......"

"Actually......" Aunt Park suddenly interrupted Kim Jong-myung's words. There's no need to hide it from you, I'm just thinking of my mother, and when I'm angry, I always come over to see my mother's picture...... It was her education as a child that made me reflect. She's the man...... Always be confident no matter what comes your way, she told me that it's good to do what needs to be done as best you can, panicking and being emotional will only make things worse. And tonight's incident, it was indeed me who panicked and was emotional, but I don't know if Song Kanghao's side has any effect, but because of my own uncalmness, I squeezed you, an outstanding junior who was originally helping me, into the opposite side of myself. I'm so sorry! ”

"That's why I'm so confident you're going to win the 2012 election." Jin Zhongming reached out and took off his glasses. "In the party of the Great National Party, which is habitually proud, you know how to be humble to people the most, and it is normal for people to be emotional for a while, and it is difficult for me as a junior to do so."

"Junior!" Aunt Park spoke again. "This word is the second reason why I came back to you, and the words of the Queen Mother are an advantage. I thought about it, even if I turned around and stunned you, it was useless, because you were too young to dodge it. And me, I'm almost 60 years old, and I know from the photo of my three-year-old nephew that if you can't die then one day he will look up to your snort, so why make a mess of each other? ”

Jin Zhongming blinked strangely.

"What's wrong?" Aunt Park asked puzzled. "Is there a problem with that?"

"It's not." Kim Jong-ming explained a little. "My purpose in coming here in the first place was to explain to you what Professor Ahn Cheol-so said to me. He said a lot, but the main one was a vague hint that I could be his successor in politics twenty or thirty years from now. ”

"Understandable." Aunt Park nodded. "You're an outlier, everybody can think of that. Actually, I let Zheng Jinzhou do it before, in addition to the movie thing that made my head a little confused, my fear of you is indeed a problem...... But aside, is he sure he's going to come out and choose? ”

"It's confirmed." Jin Zhongming nodded. "He officially told me about his candidacy, and before leaving, he offered to suggest that I come to you. At the same time, if memory serves, POSCO has officially bet on him, and such a move cannot be hidden, and soon there should be a signal. ”

"Good work." Aunt Park nodded, and there was really no wave on her face. "Anything else?"

"There should be none, nothing else is about politics." Jin Zhongming replied as usual.

"Then Zheng Mengzhun ...... Forget it, don't say anything. Aunt Park withdrew her gaze from the photo. Let's talk. I thought about it for a moment, it's not that I can't accept your reminder...... Or a warning. However, you have to pay the price. ”

"There is no shame in honoring the strong." Kim Jongming shrugged. "As long as you don't trample on my bottom line, I'm happy to pay the other costs."

"That's good." Aunt Park nodded again. "Actually, if it's really very simple, I'll give you a face, that is, to pull out the Song Kang-ho matter alone, I won't interfere with his freedom to make movies, but you have to make sure that there is no series of conspiracies and opposition caused by this before the election. At the same time, there are some things that need to be done to support me. ”

Some aspects of course refer to donations from certain foundations, and Jin Zhongming naturally understands this.

"That'll do." After seeing Jin Zhongming nodding, Aunt Park calmly clapped her hands. "That's the end of the matter, the rest is business as usual. We are still people who walk together, and we are still people who cooperate with each other. "The Melting Pot", you continue to shoot, China you continue to run, and business will do the same! In short, let's talk about things, and there are no problems between you and me in the big picture. That's it, Qi Chun...... Send down Zhong Ming! ”

"That's perfect," Jin Zhongming also nodded slightly and smiled. "Farewell."

In this way, Jin Qichun sent Jin Zhongming out directly, and since there was no Jin Wuxing waiting in the corridor this time, the two of them came to the underground parking lot smoothly all the way.

"Mr. Jin Zhongming." Just when Jin Zhongming was about to wake up Jia Chao, who was waiting here, Jin Qichun, who had been speechless all the way, suddenly spoke. "I don't understand."

"Don't understand what?" Jin Zhongming, who was wearing black-rimmed glasses, asked with a harmless smile.

"I'm next door the whole time and I can hear everything, so I want to ask you something." Jin Qichun leaned over and lowered his head and said seriously. "And be sure to clear your mind."

"Please."

"This matter, although it seems that you just spent money to buy an insurance policy for Mr. Song Kanghao." Jin Qichun smiled with difficulty, that low-eyed and pleasing look was really too different from when Jin Zhongming came. "But...... Everyone understands that after this night, the relationship between you and the chairman is not as close as before. Moreover, the chairman of the committee did not mention the matter of Chairman Jung Jin-ju and the Korean Filmmakers Federation, which means that your expansion of the Korean film industry will still encounter strong resistance...... Is it worth it? A Song Kang-ho, or the so-called chess piece principle? ”

"Secretary Kim." Jin Zhongming looked at the other party with a little emotion. "Actually, I earned it!"

Jin Qichun was a little confused.

"First of all, you have also heard about Zheng Jinzhou, sooner or later, what should come is always coming, it is nothing more than two years early, and I am not scared by him." Jin Zhongming chuckled. "As for what you value most about the relationship between the chairman and me...... Didn't you notice? ”

Jin Qichun still doesn't understand.

"Indeed." Jin Zhongming spread his hands. "We're definitely not that close after this time, but when she told me to go back and talk again, there was a noticeable sense of equality more than ever! It's only two points, but it's already remarkable. Because it means that, from this day forward, she no longer treats me as a junior or something in her own pocket, she sees me as a fair collaborator to a certain extent. ”

Jin Qichun was a little enlightened.

"Secretary Jin, you say, although I have lost a little personal relationship, I have gained equality, right?" Jin Zhongming said with a smile. "And considering that she is so powerful, and I am so helpless against her, isn't it that I have earned it now? I've actually gained respect tonight with my toughness, okay?! What's more, I'm going to go to Song Kanghao's predecessor now and ask him for merit and reward him in person...... To be grateful to him is a pleasant thing to think about. ”

Jin Qichun was suddenly a little overwhelmed, and was stunned for a long time.

"That Secretary Kim." Jin Zhongming, who had walked a few steps, suddenly remembered something, and turned his head and walked back. "You seem to have forgotten something."

Jin Qichun was puzzled, he didn't think he would lose everything, but then he was dumbfounded, because Jin Zhongming took out a white Go chess piece from the inner pocket of his zippered jacket.

"Put it away." Jin Zhongming slapped the chess pieces on the palm of the opponent's hand. "If I were you, I'd throw it right out of the window when I got into the hallway."

After that, Jin Zhongming turned around and knocked on his window in front of the car, waking up Jia Chao, and after a while, the Hyundai car drove out, leaving Secretary Jin standing alone in a daze.

And just as he said to Jin Qichun, Jin Zhongming asked Jia Chao to drive the car directly in the direction of Song Kanghao's house. In this way, when the time came to half past three in the morning, he really met Song Kanghao face-to-face at the other party's house, who had only been separated for a few hours.

Kim Jong-ming is not a person who does good deeds without leaving a name, he is here to show his merits, so he told the other party everything almost unabashedly - Aunt Park wants to use Zheng Jinju to deal with you Song Kang-ho, and he has taken back the dignity of Korean filmmakers from Aunt Park.

"I'm grateful for that." Song Kanghao, who was dressed in autumn pants and a thread shirt, pinched his big pie face. "There is no doubt that you are very grateful to Zhong Ming...... I'm sorry for what happened before, I did misunderstand you a little before...... However, you're late. ”

"What do you mean?" Jin Zhongming laughed. "I remember at the premiere of 'The Stateless,' you approached me about being invited by Moon Jae-in's adviser to make a film, and I suggested that you stagger with my 'The Crucible...... You're still angry, and we've been arguing for a long time...... Why is it late? ”

"I apologize to you again for that." Song Kanghao waved his hand. "I just received the invitation that day, and I was in a strange mood, and the person who asked for it said some bad things, so I misunderstood you. But these days, I have a general understanding of the things in "The Crucible", and my mind has become a lot clearer...... I think you didn't just do a good job, but you were right. ”

Jin Zhongming turned his finger, he didn't understand what the other party meant.

"That's right." Song Kanghao sighed, and then explained it clearly. "For two reasons, one is that I don't want to create an atmosphere of camp opposition as you said the other day, and Korean filmmakers should show unity. And the other reason is that I have recently learned more and more about "The Crucible", and I do understand your behavior of making this movie so seriously, and if you look at it from this point of view, then the request from the literary consultant has lost its basic foothold...... Didn't they say that your film was fabricated to deal with the Unification Party? Now ......"

"So you turned down that movie?" Jin Zhongming finally understood.

"Yes." Song Kanghao nodded slightly. "Yes! Refused! ”

"Did you feel the pressure from Ms. Park before?" The corners of Kim Jong-ming's mouth curled, of course, he was not mocking Song Kang-ho.

"It's a little." Song Kanghao admitted with a little emotion. "My wife has been chasing "Big Things", the first female president of South Korea...... And I'm not stupid, I can always feel a little bit of the wind and grass. However, the most important thing is that I am old and don't want to repeat the price that I paid in the original "Hyojadong Barber...... I was stressed after the movie was released at the time...... In fact, even if you block the most direct shooting resistance and top-level pressure for me, there will always be subordinates who will settle accounts for their leaders afterwards. Of course, I don't regret doing what I do. But now that he is older, his son is ready to enter the junior national team, and there are so many reasons...... I turned down the advisor. ”

"Then don't bother the seniors." Jin Zhongming stared at his water-stained shoes and listened for a long time, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was ready to leave. "But if the seniors still have the idea to make that movie again, you can try to come to me, since I have paid that price, to be honest, you don't need me to use it in vain, I can always block some wind and rain for you."

“…… I'm still sorry, but I feel sorry for you. Song Kang-ho stood up. I'll send you. ”

"It's windy outside and it's raining." Jin Zhongming stretched out his hand to stop the other party. "You rest, I have a driver by my side, and I'm going to go straight home and sleep."

Kim Jong-ming did what he said, he really turned around and left in the car, as if he didn't care that the big favors he had worked so hard to get from Aunt Park were wasted.

Jia Chao drove the car slowly, and the rain outside washed the windows, and the sound made it difficult for Jin Zhongming to sleep.

"Didn't it go very well?" Jia Chao noticed this scene from the rearview mirror. "So you can't sleep?"

"It's not." Jin Zhongming shook his head. "I was quite sure in my heart, but because I was too sleepy and couldn't concentrate, I wasn't sure for a while...... I can't sleep anyway. ”

"Whatever." Jia Chao was a little speechless. "I don't know what's going on anyway......"

"Then do you know Gyeongsangnam-do?" Jin Zhongming asked abruptly.

"Of course." Jia Chao was speechless. "South Korea is just that little place, how can you not know? Sister Xiaoya's mother is from Gyeongsangnam-do! ”

"Then tell me, who are the celebrities in Gyeongsangnam-do?" Jin Zhongming quickly asked. "Five! Say it quickly, don't think about it! ”

President Kim Yong-sam, President Roh Moo-hyun, Lee Byung-chul, and Song ...... Mr. Song Kang-ho...... Something else...... I really can't remember it for a while. ”

"I'm one more than you." Jin Zhongming chuckled. "Moon Jae-in, just these five."

"And then?" It was Jia Chao's turn to ask.

"What, then?" Jin Zhongming chuckled again. "No more. It's not like you've slept in the car for so long, I'm tired today, squint for a while, drive slower, and call me when I get home. ”

After that, Jin Zhongming turned over and lay on the back seat of the car, and really snored quickly.

Jia Chao looked confused, he really didn't understand what was going on.

Jia Chao doesn't understand, but someone does.

At this moment, in the living room of Song Kang-ho's house, the top actor in South Korea, who was still wearing autumn pants and a linear, did not choose to go back to the bedroom to sleep. In fact, after watching Kim Jong-ming leave and turning off the lights, Song Kang-ho chose to lie down on the sofa directly, in the dark, his eyes were staring at the ceiling of his house, as if he wanted to see something from it.

As a representative of Korean cinema, Song Kang-ho is a celebrity in Gyeongsangnam-do, and just like Kim Jong-ming just asked Jia Chao, he is the only hometown celebrity who is qualified to jump out and put together with two presidents and a Samsung founder, and even Moon Jae-in is not as well-known as him.

However, for the great actor Song Kang-ho, Kim Yong-sam and Lee Byung-chul are a little far away, and only the Roh Moo-hyun, who committed suicide by jumping off a cliff last year, is a real and accessible fellow countryman for him.

In fact, because of age and fame, the two have crossed paths a lot, and they have always been close. Even when the actors were making a fuss about reducing the quota, why was he, the actor who should have been the leader, pulled out by Choi Min-sik in a semi-forced way? Because he doesn't want to make trouble for Roh Moo-hyun, a fellow countryman who takes care of himself. In addition to being close, because the other party is nearly 20 years older than him, Song Kanghao also has an extra sense of respect and admiration for the other party. Of course, the growth of a poor boy who ends up becoming president is legendary, and when such a legend happens right in front of his eyes...... How could Song Kang-ho not worship and disrespect Roh Moo-hyun?

However, this worship evolved into a strong sense of grief and indignation last year, after the other party jumped off the cliff! Song Kanghao didn't go to the road festival at that time, but it was because he was afraid of causing trouble to the other party! And his feelings for Roh Moo-hyun are definitely more than those of talented literati like Kim Ji-dong!

Therefore, when Moon Jae-in came to him with the adaptation of the script from Roh Moo-hyun's previous experience, he, who was already ready to avoid Park Geun-hye's edge, nodded his head at once, and even believed Kim Jong-myung's claim that he was Park Geun-hye's film glove...... And today, he also has a reason not to tell Kim Jong-ming, that is, he is worried that this film will cause trouble for Roh Moo-hyun after it falls into partisan disputes, and it will make the fellow villager who has been buried unable to rest in peace!

However, putting aside these ridiculous political tricks, putting aside everything, and even putting aside Kim Jong-myung's Jang Yi assistance, when only the movie and the figure of Roh Moo-hyun are left in front of him...... Song Kang-ho found that he really couldn't let go of this movie, just like he couldn't let go of Roh Moo-hyun's death. The other party can use death to wash himself away in order to clear his name, shouldn't he do something for this name that has been kept in his heart for nearly 30 years? It's just a capricious hand purely for personal feelings! Then, what if you continue to avoid Ms. Park and hide for three years without touching the movie? Then, what about doing everything to repay Jin Zhongming's kindness? What can he take from himself? What is there to be reluctant to give up to yourself?

I don't know how long I thought about it, but the Korean actor, who was nervous when he thought about it, got up from the couch and returned to his bedroom.

"What time is it?" The wife was awakened by the movement of her husband coming back. "Why did it take so long to come back?"

"I want to make a movie!" Song Kang-ho replied as he lay on the bed with his head tilted up.

"Then shoot it!" The wife completely understands that it can't. "I asked you what time it was!"

"Whoever doesn't let me shoot can't do it!" Song Kanghao continued to say expressionlessly. "You can pay whatever it takes! This time, I don't care about any consequences, I just want to make a movie! ”

The wife sighed, helped the other party cover the quilt, and then turned over to sleep.

Time does not move, the location changes, just when Song Kanghao's wife and children are hot on the kang, Jin Zhongming, who has been working hard all night, shivered downstairs in his apartment! Jia Chao changed into the nanny car parked here in the garage downstairs and left, but he also took the things in the nanny car, he originally wanted to take a coat from it, but in a blink of an eye, the other party was gone......

And sure enough, the temperature outside was as Jin Zhongming expected, this time of the morning was the coldest time of the day, the end of October, how do you say that? The autumn wind and autumn rain are sad...... What's even more terrifying is that the garage elevator is locked in the middle of the night, so he has to go around the stairs to enter the stairway. But as soon as I entered the corridor, I was swept by a small wind, and then I shuddered, which I don't know if it's a good sign.

Mr. Kim Jong-ming ...... "The security guard is a newcomer, but it is clear that his strange expression is the same as that of his predecessors in the past." Someone has been waiting for you for a long time under the rain at the entrance of the building...... I asked them to come to me to warm up, but they insisted on waiting at the door...... Would you like to check it out? ”

Jin Zhongming looked out as if he had seen a ghost: "This weather ...... Waiting outside? How long has it been? Who? How many people? ”

"Before two o'clock in the morning, Miss Krystal told them that you hadn't come back yet, and they had been waiting, and then asked me to stop you when I saw you inside." The security guard continued to dutifully respond with that strange expression. "As for the rest...... It was two people, a man and a woman, who had been waiting outside. As for who...... You'll know when you see it, and I'm familiar with that man's face anyway. ”

Jin Zhongming looked at the door and then at the security guard, and after the security guard nodded repeatedly, he had to take out the black-framed glasses from his jacket again, and then came to the entrance of the stairs step by step, and tentatively stretched out his head......

"Two ...... It's really a rare guest! Jin Zhongming was not sleepy all of a sudden, in fact, he is now in good spirits.

"Zhong, Zhong Ming, meet again." Lee Byung-hun, who was wrapped in the same coat as Lee Min-jeong beside him, trembled his lips and responded, while Lee Min-jeong beside him was also trying to squeeze out a smiling face.

Kim Jong-ming lost his mind for a moment, because he suddenly thought of the early spring season four years ago, when Bae Yongjun seemed to have waited outside the door all night, and then greeted him with the same trembling......

I don't know how this person figured it out, but ...... It's like a world away! (To be continued.) )
