"Of course you do!" Li Zhonglie immediately lifted his spirits. "I know that the person in charge of supporting the fund in the revitalization committee has a lot of investor connections, why does Mr. Kim Jong-ming also have it?"

"No!" Jin Zhongming shook his head. "I've only been here for a short time, and I don't know any investors, and if I do, I won't introduce anyone to a documentary that will be made independently. ”

"That's right!" replied Li Zhonglie embarrassedly. "That's true, but didn't you say you were going to introduce me to investors?"

"I won't introduce people to people because they won't want to invest in it. Jin Zhongming replied lightly. "So, I'm talking about this investor myself. ”

"Mr. Jin Zhongming himself?" asked Li Zhonglie with difficulty.

"That's right, do you think it's appropriate?" Kim Jong Ming turned sideways to face the other party in a comfortable position.

"Suitable!" Lee Chung-yeol's mind turned, and he immediately thought of this lord who could donate 300 million won to the coal bank. "I don't really need much, 400 million won is good!"

"Is it 400 million won? No wonder the investors want to run, this is the number is to take out the share you put in yourself, right? This is the total investment of the whole movie?" Kim Jong Ming immediately laughed after hearing this number, he knows a lot about Korean films, and the average independent film is only 100 million won or 200 million won, and 400 million won is really too tiger for a documentary with only a few dozen minutes. But how can I say it? He doesn't care, 400 million won is only 2 million yuan after all.

"Hey!" Li Zhonglie smiled awkwardly, he also knew that his reaction was a little overdone.

"Then 500 million won!" Kim Jong-ming also laughed, and then stood up suddenly. "I always feel that your "The Sound of the Cowbell" has a sense of déjà vu, and I don't know if it's an illusion. Let's say okay, I'll give you 500 million. I don't participate in the movie, and I lose it, but I'm going to take eighty percent of the profits when I make money, how about it? Okay, I'll let the lawyer go to you tomorrow?"

"Good!" Li Zhonglie took a deep breath, and then immediately stood up. "I won't let you down. ”

"Happy cooperation!" Jin Zhongming shook the other party's hand, and then turned his head and left.

The last day of '07 is coming to an end. Jin Zhongming didn't drive either, just walked on the road in a hurry, he didn't do it just now, nor did he do it out of pure kindness, but he really felt some déjà vu about this "Cowbell's Voice", and it could leave a little impression on him, which means that this movie is probably not different from ordinary independent documentaries, maybe it will surprise him, so he generously donated to see it. Uh, let's see if I can make some pocket money.

After returning home, Jin Zhongming, who contacted the lawyer, didn't care about this matter anymore, the first day of 08 was New Year's Day, and he was in the Donghu community where he ate and slept and played Doudou, uh, no, it was a life of eating, sleeping and teasing Ermao. And on the second of January. He returned to his house in Jiangnan and continued his weekend trip to "Two Days and One Night", and usually went to Zhongmu Road to check in and go to work.

And if you have to say that Kim Jong-ming has been there something unconventional recently. That is, he has been a little anxious recently, what are he anxious about? Anxious for a movie of his own, he can't wait to make a movie like "The Sound of Cowbells" for Li Zhonglie. But he also understands that there are some things that he can't rush to, for example, he has the script of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" in hand, but he knows very well in his heart that if he forcibly shoots this. At his current level, I'm afraid he will be beaten with chickens and eggs.

The most suitable is to make a short film or micro-film first, and then start making a literary film, only when the first two are successful can he be qualified to move the script of "Those Years".

However, what kind of micro-film should be made first, and then what kind of literary film should be made? He needs time to think about and plan.

But it turns out. Compared to some things obtained from hard thinking and meditation, a casual touch can make him burst out more sparks.

"Youbo Xiyou, Zhong Ming oppa, are you free?"

Kim Jong-myung was in the office of the Chungmuro Film Promotion Committee, but unexpectedly received a call from Krystal in the morning, but as soon as he picked up the microphone, he was a little confused, because the greeting on the other side was obviously not Krystal, but the voice of a little girl he couldn't remember for a while.

"You, you, you!" Jin Zhongming replied embarrassedly, and at the same time his head was running rapidly, who is this? Why can't I remember? But listening to the voice and tone, it is obvious that he is a familiar person, and Krystal will not give his mobile phone to the other party if he is not familiar with it.

"Oppa's tone doesn't sound good, what's wrong, are you feeling unwell?" asked the girl across from her with concern. "Two days and one night is really tiring, isn't it?"

"I've been busy lately, so I'm a little angry, and I actually fell asleep just now, but it's not a big deal, don't worry. Jin Zhongming immediately pretended to be confused, and at the same time secretly gave himself a thumbs up. "What's wrong? Is there anything you need OPPA to help with?"

"Well, I'd like to ask OPPA to take me to a premiere. The words of the person opposite made Jin Zhongming even more confused.

"Premiere?" Kim Jong-ming didn't even wear a suit, he was indeed confused. "What premiere? How am I confused? ”

"It would be strange if Oppa wasn't confused!" the little girl across from her immediately laughed. "I acted in this movie a few years ago, when I was still in elementary school, but now that it's finally going to be released, can you come and cheer me on?"

"I'm still a little confused!" replied Kim Jong-ming staring at the ceiling in confusion. "Why is it only two years old? Why should I go? Are we a good age match?"

"I don't know why it took two years to be released. The girl on the other side continued. "But what is the age match? It's not a red carpet together. I was just playing a supporting role when I was a child, and the reason why you asked you to take me there was because you took me to talk to Ha Ji Won seniors and Cha Tae-hyun seniors, otherwise they would have forgotten about me. ”

"Hey~~!" Kim Jong-ming dragged out this voice, and then quickly searched for the words Ha Ji Won, Cha Tae-hyun, and new movies on the MAVER homepage on the computer in front of him, and then immediately buzzed to understand everything on the web page, and the opposite side of his feelings was Choi Xueli. "That Shirley. You like movies so much? Do they remember what you have?"

"Oppa said you can't come!" Cui Xueli also made a small temperament.

"Last question!" Jin Zhongming will not be entangled by her coquettishness, the people who can entangle him with two sentences were Sika and Krystal when he was a child, and Krystal is alone now. "The year after tomorrow, uh, no, aren't you going to make your debut next year? Would your company allow this kind of activity?"

"That's why I just looked for you, the whole company knows that as long as you do something, from Teacher Li Xiuman to President Kim Youngmin, no one will be silent. Cui Shirley muttered in reply. "And you have more say in things like movies"

"Then let's go back to the question just now, aren't you an idol? Why do you pay so much attention to movies?" Kim Jong-ming thought of something specious, some almost instinctive dissatisfaction.

"Shouldn't you pay attention to movies?" asked Sherry Choi curiously. "Can idol be 30 years old? If you want to survive in the future, you will be either a lyricist or a professional actor, isn't it right that I am so concerned? I don't have Krystal a brother who can take her to the movie at any time."

"I, I know!" Jin Zhongming quickly interrupted the other party's chatter, he had just discovered his boredom, Cui Xueli has not debuted yet, what Cui Zi and what quit the group is not known which year, his problems are really boring. "Tell me the time and place. I'll pick you up. ”

"January 9 at 6 p.m., Lotte Cinema in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul. ”

"January 9th, why don't you just say the day after tomorrow?" replied Jin Zhongming speechlessly. "And the Lotte Cinema in Gwangjin District? This is a movie by Ha Ji Won and Cha Tae Hyun, why did you end up in this movie theater for the premiere? You know, at four o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, you sneak up to the Chinese restaurant at the back door of your company, and I will drive there and wait for you. ”

"So, you wonder why this movie was sealed for two years before it was released?" Five minutes later, in the office next to Kim Jong-ming. A head surnamed Huang, who was directly involved in the grading of the film called "The Fool", raised his head and looked at Jin Zhongming in surprise.

"Well, that's right. Jin Zhongming nodded. And then tell the truth. "One of the little actors here is my sister's classmate, and she just called and asked me to take her to the premiere. ”

"I understand your doubts. The head of the Huang room smiled and asked Jin Zhongming to sit down. "Whether the starring roles are Ha Ji Won and Cha Tae Hyun, or is it adapted from the successful work of a famous manga artist, and the subject matter is so healthy and uplifting, the most important thing is that this is still a CJ movie. So no matter how you think about it, there's no reason to refrigerate it for two years?"

"Yes!" Jin Zhongming also spread his hands. "That's why I couldn't help but be curious and came to you for advice. ”

"And not only that, but this movie has a good merit. Let me ask Zhong Ming a question for you. Director Huang continued to say with a smile. "Have you noticed the amount of investment in this film?"

"Five billion won?" Kim Jong-ming looked up and thought for a moment. "I remember just taking a look. ”

"That's right. Five billion won. Director Huang nodded, and then continued to sell his guanzi. "You are very careful, this figure still takes into account the salaries of Ha Ji Won and Cha Tae Hyun, so this is a very low-cost movie, and it only takes 500,000 viewers to pay off. And this number is simply pediatric. But CJ was still reluctant to make a film on it, and it dragged on for two years. ”

Jin Zhongming stopped talking, he was afraid that he would be able to sell the head of the room for another two years if he spoke again.

"Ahem!" Director Huang also sensed that he was wrong, so he gave a direct answer. "Half of the refrigeration time in the past two years has come from the disagreement between the comic book author, the director's side and CJ, and the remaining half of the time has come from external pressure, such as Zhong Ming, you have also delayed others for at least three months. ”

"Me?" Kim was dumbfounded.

"Yes. The head of the yellow room took a slow sip of tea. "You, your movie, to be exact!"

PS: Cui Xueli's movie will actually be released a month later, don't worry about it. (To be continued.) )
