Chapter 194 The Spectators of the Great Bell Award (8k)
When September comes to an end and October arrives, the weather becomes crisp and crisp. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
First of all, the filming of "Introduction to Architecture" became better with the arrival of autumn, and then another good news came, although it is difficult to say what will be the future cultivation and recovery, but Xiuying finally got back on her feet and began to slowly reintegrate into the team.
And when the time came to mid-October, after determining Xiuying's physical condition, Girls' Generation finally pushed out the long-brewing regular third album "Theboys", and the specific time was October 16. It is worth mentioning that this day happened to be a Sunday, which was the time for the second episode of the "RunningMan" special they participated in.
As for the effect of this album, Kim Jongming didn't care, or he couldn't care if he wanted to, because the next day he not only had to record a new episode of "RunningMan", but more importantly, this Monday night was also the 48th Daejong Awards ceremony, and he had no reason not to attend.
After all, this year's Big Bell Award means a lot to Jin Zhongming.
First of all, "The Defender", "Broken Arrow", and "The Crucible" are all three arrows, and this year's Big Bell Award Cube is bound to be the winner, it's just a matter of winning more and winning less.
Secondly, as the actor and producer of the influential film "The Crucible", no matter who you are, you must admit that Kim Jong-ming himself can covet awards such as Best Actor or Best Picture.
However, the most important point is not enough for outsiders to say. In other words, after the collapse of the Korean Filmmakers Federation last year and the retirement of Kim Dong-ho, the pattern of the Korean film industry has been reshuffled. Putting aside those struggles for power and profit that have not yet settled, at least Jin Zhongming is now qualified to cut the cake by himself...... Of course, it's one thing to be qualified to cut, it's another thing to be qualified to cut.
At five o'clock in the evening, Jin Zhongming arrived in a hurry a few minutes before the opening ceremony, and as he told the organizing committee, there are still variety shows to be recorded during the day, and there is no need to arrange a special red carpet time...... In fact, he entered through a side door. Even Liu Renna, Kim Jongming's undoubted partner, is actually a red carpet walked by a wronged person.
As soon as he entered the side door of the Sejong Cultural Auditorium, he was greeted by Jang Seung-moon...... That's right, probably to show some sincerity, Jung Jin-joo, who is currently the chairman of the Joint Filmmakers Association and the Korea Film Promotion Committee, chose Kim Jong-myung's security company to take on the security work for this year's Daejong Awards...... Due to the great symbolism, Zhang Chengwen, who had just returned from Australia, naturally wanted to come over in person.
"What's the matter?" Jin Zhongming asked a little strangely, in his impression, Zhang Chengwen is a very determined person, no matter how big things are, he should maintain his demeanor, why can't he wait to come up and talk as soon as he comes in?
"Lee Jae-hyun is here. Zhang Chengwen replied with a strange expression. "I sat in the last row of the guest seat with CJ Pictures' Lee Jae-bin......"
"It's supposed to be coming for me. Jin Zhongming reacted after a little thought. "You say hello to Mr. Ahn Sung-ki, I won't sit in the front row, go to the back row and talk nonsense to Lee Jae-hyun first......"
"Understood. Zhang Chengwen replied very neatly.
Lee Jae-hyun's dignified three-star crown prince, or CJ, the head of the chaebol who can count among the top 15 in South Korea, should be the focus of the audience no matter where he is. What's more, CJ's share of the entertainment industry is actually the largest of all the chaebols, which means that SK can be compared to it with its huge size. Therefore, his arrival really made some people at the scene feel a little panicked...... Even if you sit in the last row without saying a word, it will make half of the guest seat fall into an eerie silence.
"President Lee. “
"Why is Zhong Ming here? You are the protagonist today, why did you come here to accompany me a bad old man?" Lee Jae-hyun's attitude was very different from when they met for the first time.
However, it is worth mentioning that this is not the same thing as the change of attitude of others, others become cautious when facing Kim Jong-ming because Kim Jong-ming has become unrecognizable to them, while Lee Jae-hyun has this change because of the drastic change in himself...... It can be seen that I haven't seen him for several months, and this big man in South Korea is already a little haggard.
"Look at what you said. Jin Zhongming took the other party's hand affectionately, and bowed seriously, saying that a bow at the other party's age is really nothing. "I heard you're coming, so I'll be your narrator. “
It can be seen that Lee Jae-hyun's attitude towards Kim Jong-ming is still very useful, and the gloomy expression before suddenly relaxed, coupled with Lee Jae-bin echoing beside him, the three people sitting side by side in the corner of the guest seat quickly chatted.
Of course, Lee Jae-hyun is still Lee Jae-hyun after all, and he has been in South Korea for decades, even if the state is a little worse, there are still some city governments, but he still puts the topic on the movie, as if he is a real movie fan, guessing where tonight's major awards belong. Correspondingly, Jin Zhongming can be regarded as calm, since the other party wants to drag it down, he is also happy to play a real bell award commentator.
In this way, the 48th Dazhong Awards soon began in anticipation and apprehension, and with the opening remarks of the host on stage, Jin Zhongming had already explained the matter.
"In fact, as we all know, if there is no specific popular group or singer, then the opening performance is generally very suggestive......" Kim Jong Ming said.
"Definitely. Li Zaibin couldn't help but echo beside him. "This is a truth that everyone knows, guess the movie based on the opening performance, at least the award at the level of the actor and actress......"
Before the words were finished, a group of deaf and mute children appeared on the stage, dancing around a traditional singer in sign language, and the traditional singer sang "Let the World Be Full of Love".
Needless to say, most of the people in the guest seats couldn't help but look at Jin Zhongming.
Lee Jae-hyun smiled dumbly, and Kim Jong-myung had to smile awkwardly.
And with the end of the opening performance, the awards began to appear in turn...... Well, to be honest, the whole first half looked boring, after all, most of the awards lacked great contenders. For example, Ren Shiwan, the son of the empire, was not shortlisted for the best male newcomer at all, which almost guaranteed Li Dixun to win the award; and for example, among the new directors, only one "Watchmen" has a good appearance, and the rest can't compete with him at all; among them, the only highlight seems to be the competition for the best female newcomer, because there are three extremely amazing finalists for this award.
"Moon Chaewon's words have achieved excellent results in the TV series very early. Kim Jong-ming pointed to the big screen on the stage and analyzed it for Lee Jae-hyun. "Although I was very young, I have created many classic characters, such as Kabuki in "The Painter of the Wind", and I have worked with in "Splendid Legacy...... Then she went back to school for two years, and this time she just came back with two TV series and a movie, and her grades were all top-notch...... In terms of coffee positions, to be honest, the other four plus one piece is not more than half of hers. “
Lee Jae-hyun bowed slightly, and he didn't know if he was listening carefully.
"There is also Jiang Sula, frankly speaking, when it comes to acting skills alone, her performance in "Sunny" is absolutely fine. However...... crew of "Sunny" was very embarrassed with the organizers because of Shen Enjing's refusal to attend the Daejong Awards. After a pause, Kim Jong-ming told Lee Jae-hyun a little about the turmoil in Shen Eun-kyung. "Shen Enjing is a child star, an actor born in 94, this time the movie "sunny" was a big hit, and she was shortlisted for the actress at this age...... But because she was going to study abroad, she refused to attend the Big Bell Award, and then she was removed, and the two sides had several war of words in the media. “
"It's embarrassing. Of course Lee Jae-hyun understands what this means, if some other senior really can't come because of something, he will definitely not care if he comes to the scene or not, but in South Korea, which pays attention to seniority, you are a 94-year-old young man who has been shortlisted for the movie and is not yet on the scene...... Isn't that a slap in the face?
"Actually...... Shen Enjing is also smart. Lee Jae-bin added a little on the side. "The underage actress is too terrifying, there is no probability, it doesn't matter if she attends or not, but after a lot of trouble recently, the Big Bell Award has been hindered by her reputation, so she had to be given a candidate for Best Supporting Actress in the name of another movie. And this award is clearly ...... The probability is a bit greater. “
"I see. Lee Jae-hyun finally came to his senses. "It's really smart, but she's gone, and she just doesn't know what the rest of the "sunny" crew who are involved by her should think!"
"The last ......" Kim Jong Ming did not discuss the meaning of the topic in depth, but pointed to another person on the big screen.
"Of course I do. Lee Jae-hyun's eyes narrowed slightly. "Liu Renna, your "Melting Pot" is really ...... Just by virtue of the influence of the movie, it is impossible to say anything about giving her this award. “
Kim Jong Ming smiled but did not speak.
"The one who won the best acting female newcomer was...... Miss Liu Renna, congratulations!" the award presenters on the stage did not make the audience wait for a long time.
"Congratulations!" Lee Jae-hyun gave a round of applause without hesitation, but the applause was sent to Kim Jong-ming.
"Not me. Jin Zhongming smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I don't really say anything about this award......"
"That's even more precious. Lee Jae-hyun replied with a dry smile. "This shows that even if you don't do anything, no one can ignore your existence......
Kim Jong-ming was noncommittal.
The awards in the first half continued to be announced one by one, and Kim Jong Ming also won a Best Producer Award, which he also didn't know, but it was understandable, the pressure of the filming of "The Crucible" is well known, and the fire is still unclear so far.
However, near the end of the first half, Kim Jong-ming, who had always claimed that he knew nothing about the award arrangement, began to carefully tidy up his suit.
Lee Jae-hyun is okay, he is always a second knife who comes to join in the fun, and he is still confused about these things. It was Li Zaibin, but his face became strange...... Because he knows that before the end of the first half, there is only one award that meets Jin Zhongming's qualifications, and if this award is won by him, doesn't it mean that this guy is disqualified from competing for some important awards?
"The winner of the Toyota Best Popularity Award was...... Mr. Jin Zhongming, congratulations!"
With a brief remark from the president of Toyota Motor Korea, Kim Jong-myung, who had been prepared, jumped up from his seat and walked straight to the podium. And in the applause, many people felt a little dazed.
"What's going on?" Lee Jae-hyun looked at his cousin in confusion.
"It's such a big brother, and the value of the best popularity award depends on the evaluation criteria of the award. Li Zaibin explained a little dazed. "After the advent of online direct voting in recent years, coupled with the massive expansion of the popularity award and the constant change of rules, this award is almost child's play...... However, when there was no online means to vote directly in the past, the best popularity award was generally regarded as the consolation prize of the actor or actress, and it can be called a quasi-actor or a quasi-actress......"
"And what about this time?" Lee Jae-hyun reacted immediately.
"Zheng Jin and Zhou Xinguan have taken office three fires!" Li Zaibin laughed dryly. "This time, there is only one place for the popularity award, and it was voted for independently by the internal review panel...... The prize is still a very valuable luxury car. “
"In other words, with this consolation prize, it is equivalent to giving up the competition for the best actor, right?" Lee Jae-hyun curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Yes. Lee Jae-bin agreed.
"Is he going to take the initiative to give the actor to his teacher?"
"It should ...... Right. Lee Jae-bin replied with some certainty.
"Then it should be. Lee Jae-hyun looked at Kim Jong-ming, who was talking eloquently on the stage, and felt a slight sour feeling in his heart. "Take it up and put it down, be kind-hearted, the key is that you are still so young...... In comparison, when will my bear child mature a little bit?"
Lee Jae-bin kept silent, as a rare son of the Li family on Lee Jae-hyun's side, of course he knows Lee Jae-hyun's hardships better than anyone else, his father is dying, his son is young and not yet successful, and he is also sick, in this case, no matter what, he must rely on this presidential election to fight for the inheritance of three stars, at least to extend the competition for inheritance to himself...... Otherwise, what is it that has been in the picture for half a lifetime?
However, Lee Jae-bin, who knows better than anyone else about Lee Jae-hyun's family background, naturally knows it too...... What are the odds of his cousin's victory!
"Congratulations!" Seeing Kim Jong-ming walking down in high spirits, Lee Jae-hyun said a heartfelt congratulations.
Jin Zhongming smiled slightly, he naturally knew what the other party meant...... It's nothing more than that he feels that he can take it and let it go, and he has exchanged the honor at hand for Ahn Sung-ki to continue to sit for him, but he doesn't want to talk about this matter more: "What, just now I have announced that I will donate the high-end Toyota car worth 1.5 billion won for the popularity award...... President Lee is experienced, who do you think I should donate to?"
"It's easy to do. Lee Jae-hyun also smiled slightly. "Don't you have a great reputation for donating money to education......? How appropriate is it to have a scholarship at the Seoul National University School of History, where you are studying, to award one car a year?"
"Jiang is still old and spicy!" Jin Zhongming praised sincerely. "Those guys seem to really have a grudge against the car...... Let them resentment a little deeper. “
As the first half ended, the Sejong Cultural Hall finally became noisy, with people taking the opportunity to talk to each other, people walking around asking for news, and naturally there were people trying to turn it into a social arena from now on.
But I don't know what's going on, Kim Jong-ming and Lee Jae-hyun, the two big names in the eyes of others, seem to be addicted, and don't give others a chance to interject at all, and many people who came cautiously to say hello all returned.
Speaking of which. Seeing that the intermission was coming to an end and many of the people who had gathered around him were returning home, Lee Jae-hyun finally asked a strange question, seemingly inadvertently. "There is only one week left in the Seoul mayoral election, and Congressman Na Qingyuan and lawyer Park Won-soon still feel comparable?
"Nothing to look at. Jin Zhongming shook his head with a smile. "I think lawyer Park Won-soon seems to have a better chance of winning......"
"What do you mean by that?" Lee Jae-hyun looked uninterested, as if he was not the one who asked about the topic.
"Yes, Zhong Ming!" Li Zaibin also chimed in. "As far as I know, Zhong Ming, you've been very busy lately, right? Movies and variety shows haven't stopped, how can you still have the heart to pay attention to this?"
"I didn't deliberately pay attention to this topic. Jin Zhongming raised his eyebrows slightly. "It's just that it's not something you don't know if you don't pay attention to it. Speaking of this, Jin Zhongming paused slightly. "Does Chairman Lee know that there are billboards of two candidates at the door of my doll's café? Before, my doll mother asked me if this was not a good effect, and I told her that if she gave money, she would let it go, and nothing else should be done......
Lee Jae-hyun laughed dumbly.
"However, why is Zhong Ming more optimistic about lawyer Park Won-soon?" Lee Jae-bin is an understanding person, so he naturally knows what his cousin is laughing at...... Those billboards might be CJ's money!
"It's also interesting to say. Jin Zhongming replied calmly. "I don't bother to pay attention to such dramas, but that doesn't mean I can't observe something interesting...... You two should know that I always have a big white bear dog at home, right?"
The Lee Jae-hyun brothers looked at each other...... To be honest, the Baker of Kim Jong Ming's family is also famous throughout the country, but the relationship between the big white dog and the mayor of Seoul is ...... Forgive them for their lack of IQ balance, it seems that they really can't figure it out.
"Because I have been raising dogs, I have been active on the Internet about the breeding forum of the Great White Bear Dog. Jin Zhongming narrated with great interest, completely ignoring the fact that the second half of the Great Bell Award had arrived. So, naturally, I heard about the fact that after the election campaign was deadlocked, as a group of dog lovers, there was a quick discussion on the forum about which of the two candidates was more active in animal protection...... At the beginning, it was natural to support Congressman Luo Qingyuan, who had a huge advantage. “
"And rightfully so. Li Zaibin has completely listened to the story, and even took the initiative to help analyze it. "Generally speaking, people who breed large dogs are middle- and high-income groups, and they naturally belong to the conservative camp. What's more, Councillor Law has also led the animal protection bill...... It's the proposal in TARA's variety show, Zhong Ming should still have an impression, right?"
"Naturally!" replied with a smile on his face. "In short, Luo Pai has a huge advantage in the forum at the beginning......"
"So how did it reverse?" Li Zaibin asked curiously, listening to the other party's judgment at the beginning, he naturally knew that the final result had been reversed...... But why, he was really curious.
"It's easy to say. Jin Zhongming laughed dryly. "There was a boring uncle in the forum who actually took advantage of the weekend to really take his dog to the campaign headquarters of the two candidates, and took a video ...... with his mobile phone."
The Lee Jae-hyun brothers looked at each other, but they finally understood what was going on!
"Just like the two of you thought. Jin Zhongming shook his head helplessly. Although lawyer Park Won-soon did not have a corresponding campaign plan, the uncle was well received, and even volunteers ran over to take pictures with his big dog...... And Congressman Luo, who had previously made the corresponding proposal, did not allow the uncle to enter the campaign headquarters at all, because pets were strictly forbidden to enter and leave the headquarters. “
Lee Jae-hyun's face suddenly became ugly, he is not a fool, details determine success or failure, this kind of election campaign is nothing more than to try to unite all the people who can be united, and then try to minimize all the hostile positions that can be reduced...... If what Jin Zhongming said is true, then the small things are big, which shows that Luo Qingyuan is really a dou who can't be helped!
Pity yourself for the funds that you have gathered at such a big risk, every won is precious!
"Will it ...... Is it a scene played by Park Won-soon's supporters?" Lee Jae-bin saw that his cousin's face was not very good, and quickly interjected as if comforting.
"Congressman Na Luo is even more powerless!" Jin Zhongming spread his hands indifferently.
"Definitely. Lee Jae-bin thought about it for a while but had nothing to say, if Park Won-soon's mobilization and focus could be refined to a dog-raising forum, then it would be true that God didn't open his eyes if he didn't win.
In this way, Lee Jae-hyun, who was disturbed by a dog, completely quieted down, and did not make a sound again throughout the second half, and Kim Jong-ming was finally able to settle down to see where these heavyweight awards belonged in the second half!
The Best Supporting Actor was taken away by Park Won-sang of "Broken Arrow", and frankly this award is a bit thrilling, because the best supporting actor professional Park Hae-jin's performance in "The Defender" is also remarkable.
The Best Supporting Actress was naturally taken away by Shen Enjing, an international student who was not present today, and I don't know what the sister Jiang Sula, who even missed the newcomer award, would think in her heart.
And after the award ceremony, almost everyone began to get serious, including Kim Jong-ming.
Because, this is really something that cannot be helped. There are only a few awards, and one was taken away by "Highland Warfare", which has the support of the national image, and the competition for the actress is meaningless. As a result, so many excellent movies can only focus on the two awards of best director and actor.
Actually, one more nonsense here, the reason why Jin Zhongming let go of his hand and was unwilling to cut this cake, and even took the initiative to back down, was really not because he coaxed him, but because there were indeed more monks and less porridge.
"The Crucible", "Broken Arrow", "The Defender", "Sunny", who do you say the award is for?
So instead of this, it is better to endure for a while and wait for Qinglong and Baixiang. Moreover, his own forbearance can also greatly add points to An Shengji, who is one with him!
This approach may not be like the kind of 'take and put down' that Lee Jae-hyun lamented, but it is definitely a more mature approach, the cycle of the three awards is far away, and it may not be a good thing to exhaust the effort first, and appropriate concessions can not only seek compensation, but the own will be their own after all.
"The winner of the 48th Big Bell Award for Best Actor is...... "Broken Arrow", Mr. Ahn Sung-ki!"
Sure enough, Jin Zhongming's forbearance brought An Shengji a new actor title, and with Zheng Jinzhou's personal reading, Jin Zhongming immediately stood up and applauded, which can be regarded as celebrating the gap in the number of actor titles between his teacher and himself!
"Congratulations!" Some people who knew or didn't know around also greeted Jin Zhongming, and in the eyes of outsiders, Jin Zhongming and An Shengji teachers and students were one after all.
Jin Zhongming naturally thanked them one by one.
"The winner of the Best Director at the 48th Daejong Awards is ...... "Sunny", directed by Kang Hyung-chul!"
Before the words fell, there was a "snap", a big hand suddenly pressed the remote control, and the picture on the TV was turned off.
"Don't look at it like that?" asked a gentle female voice in surprise. "Isn't there another best picture?"
"That award was given to 'Highland Warfare'. Choi Tae-won pouted slightly. "Let's not look at it...... I didn't expect Kim Jong Ming to let the actor out. “
"Give it to your teacher. The woman replied unconcernedly. "What's not to think of?"
"For a young man like him, isn't the most difficult thing to do is to give in?" Choi Tae-won has his own set of theories.
"And then?" the woman asked curiously. "Isn't that a bad old man, too difficult, for you to give up all of SK's entertainment business?"
"It's not about letting it out, it's about selling. Choi Tae-won corrected. "It's going to be exchanged for money. What is he that deserves to be given to me?"
"Are you going to sell it to him, then?" the woman asked playfully.
"Not necessarily. Choi Tae-won shook his head. "Wait two more days. As far as I know, the Korea Filmmakers Federation is going to carry out a comprehensive reshuffle and election, and this is a big reshuffle...... Jin Zhongming's forbearance today is in exchange for his teacher's concession in the election?"
"Not really, right?"
"The heart is separated from the belly. Choi Tae-won frowned and looked at the cross in the living room. "A person lives in the world, it is nothing more than money, power and name, and he can resist the temptation...... Even if it's just once, then I'll be convinced. "The Crucible" has two more chances, and the three awards are three times a year, but the election that will determine the division of power in the Korean film industry in the next few years is this one chance, and I don't know when the next one will be...... Let's see how he's going to ......"
"Whatever you want!" the woman looked at Choi Tae-won, who was a little crazy, and really didn't bother to ask about these things. "It's good if you're happy. “
The Big Bell Award came to an abrupt end, so many excellent films, so many awards, are destined to make a few happy and a few sad. In the midst of this chaos, the celebration dinner is about to start, but Lee Jae-hyun is not ready to stay any longer.
After congratulating Ahn Sung-ki, Lee Jae-hyun walked towards the side gate of the Sejong Culture Hall in the midst of everyone's retention...... Kim Jong-ming, Ahn Sung-ki, and Lee Jae-bin were sent to the door.
"That's right. When he came to a group of security personnel, as if unintentionally, as if casually, Lee Jae-hyun suddenly took Kim Jong-myung's hand and asked. "How did I hear that...... Zhong Ming has recently acquired the cinema chain, what, do you have the idea of eating this bowl of rice?"
Everyone around him froze, but Jin Zhongming's face was as usual, and he answered very neatly, as if he had expected this question: "That's right, I am planning to acquire several small theaters recently, and I am preparing to form an art support theater to assist the film foundation in the teacher's hands...... Why, President Lee should also do good deeds?"
Li Zaixian stared at Jin Zhongming with a smile for a long time, but finally shook his head with a dry smile: "Zhong Ming thinks too much, I am a businessman, how can I do unprofitable things?
"I see. Jin Zhongming nodded calmly. "Then I'll do it with peace of mind. “
"Farewell. Lee Jae-hyun didn't stay any longer and turned around and left.
Li Zaibin hesitated for a moment, but shook his head gloomily, and then returned to the auditorium in disregard of etiquette.
"Fooled around?" An Shengji frowned slightly.
"It's not. Jin Zhongming shook his head. "Quite the opposite...... He must have discovered my real purpose for letting Chengwen go to Australia, and the evidence is conclusive......! There are three large commercial cinemas in South Korea, and he must have noticed such a big move. “
"Then why did he ...... Don't speak?" Zhang Chengwen didn't know where he came from.
"What about after that?" Jin Zhongming curled the corners of his mouth mockingly. "Yes, I want to buy Mega, and then cube will go from a simple film production to a behemoth from production to distribution, and it will be the opposite of CJ across the board. So as a leader in the industry, what can he do? After warning me, if I still insist on going my own way, he can only tear my face and start a war on all fronts, killing a hundred examples...... But now that he's weak like that, his mind is still focused on political games, what can he really do with me?"
"Are you already weak enough to do this?" Zhang Chengwen looked in surprise in the direction where Lee Jae-hyun disappeared.
"This time I didn't succeed in knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, but I exposed my powerlessness!" An Shengji also sighed slightly. "But if you don't come...... What will Lee Jae-bin and CGV Cinema think? Lee Jae-hyun is also helpless!"
Hearing this, Kim Jong Ming looked back at the door of the Sejong Culture Hall in the black hole, his eyes were blazing, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
PS: On the first day I came to Xi'an, I started to have headaches, nasal congestion, and sore throats, and then bear children and tablets, and then the smog in Xi'an...... It's better than death for me this year. I hope you don't be as unlucky as me!
There is also a book friend group, 457160898, everyone add it.
And also...... Really do your best.
