Up to now, everyone's mentality has long been completely different from many years ago, Kim Taeyeon is her own nonsense, but Kim Jong-myung is too lazy to understand the other party's hard work, he didn't wait for the self-sacrificing Kim team to return to the dormitory, so he called Kim Young-min, who was sleeping with his wife in his arms.

Jin Zhongming was too lazy to explain anything, and he didn't have time to explain anything because he had something to do tomorrow and needed to recuperate, so he directly rejected the strategy of this scandal, and seriously warned the other party not to do similar actions. And then as for what Kim Taeyeon will think, what path Kim Young-min will take without the most conventional and effective means of entertainment companies, he doesn't bother to pay attention to it at all!

If you are not convinced, you can be disobedient, and I didn't hold a knife around your company's neck like Yu Shanyu, right?

With a breath of inexplicable anger, Jin Zhongming went back to sleep, and when he woke up again, it was already more than nine o'clock in the morning, after washing up and eating something, he really received a call that had been scheduled...... This is Choi Min-sik calling.

"Don't worry, senior. Jin Zhongming comforted him on the phone. "I haven't heard from it yet. ”

"You trust the people you planted in the Film Promotion Committee and the Blue House so much?" Choi Dacannon on the other end of the phone is probably at home or somewhere, so his voice is very loud. "What if the other party hesitates and changes his mind and ignores you?"

Kim Jong Ming paused, he originally wanted to explain to the other party, but it may be that the tone that Kim Taeyeon's stupid girl brought to him yesterday is still there, so the words have changed again when they come to their mouths: "Don't worry, senior, the other party is quite reliable, if it really arrives, he will definitely notify us as soon as possible." ”

"Then don't nest at home, what if that person doesn't say hello suddenly arrives and then leaves suddenly?

"No...... Never mind. Jin Zhongming swallowed back what he wanted to say again. "Senior, do you mean that you want me to wait on Chungmuro?"

"Well, come on. Cui Min-sik on the other end of the phone seemed to have a hint of excitement in his tone. "I'm already in the film production company across the street from the Film Promotion Committee, which was opened by an old friend of mine, so you can just come over. ”

Kim Jong-ming was noncommittal.

In this way, most of the time, Jin Zhongming appeared here on Chungmu Road as promised, and Cui Dacang's old friend was really enthusiastic, not only did he ask more, but also took the initiative to give up a conference room with a window facing the entrance of the Film Promotion Committee, which can be called a dedication.

"The human heart still has a back. Cui Minzhi said with a slight sigh. "Otherwise, people wouldn't have helped so simply. ”

"Perhaps. Jin Zhongming replied disapprerovingly. "But I think these people don't know what we're going to do, and if they do, they may not be willing to help this kind of painless little favor. ”

"You think too badly of people. Choi Min-sik also disagreed.

"I don't think you're too kind to people. Jin Zhongming is still vibrant. "I think you're thinking too much about human beings, underestimating both the upper limit and the lower limit of human beings...... The complexity of a creature like a human is not something that can be easily guessed. ”

"We're talking about this friend who helps, and nothing else. Choi Min-sik shook his head again and again. "Why do you do all this?"

Jin Zhongming looked at the other party and shook his head, and didn't say anything more, and Cui Minzhi did the same, after a few words didn't match, he looked out the window, and then, his thoughts drifted with time.

In fact, what the two wanted to talk about just now was the recent situation in the entertainment industry.

The company's situation, the company feels the pressure of the government, the film industry, television stations, print media, and the music industry, almost all of them feel the personal pressure, which is more like a very representative microcosm of the entire entertainment circle. Moreover, the company can also use scandals to hype up this kind of soft practice of actively provoking hot spots to cover up, and the Korean film industry, which is stiffening, is even more difficult.

Come to think of it, South Korea is a very contradictory country, on the one hand, it is clothed in the skin of a liberal system, but on the other hand, it has the core of an authoritarian system. Therefore, when the foundation of the ruling party is still there, when the president of a country concentrates on exercising his power in one direction, the so-called idiom of power and fortune is particularly appropriate.

In fact, it was originally a neutral, even praised, adjective to describe a monarch when he exercised his power, and it was later alienated into a derogatory term.

By comparison, the slogan used by angry South Korean filmmakers to accuse the Blue House, that is, those who go along with it prosper and those who rebel perish...... Because after all, this country is still dressed in the skin of liberalism, so in this current situation, those who go along with it dare not prosper at all, and those who go against it have not yet died.

And today, Kim Jong-myung and Choi Min-sik came to the opposite side of the door of the Film Promotion Committee early, not to feel any summer Zen, but to get accurate information and prepare for a Jedi counterattack today.

"It's coming. Choi Min-sik stared at a convoy slowing down at the intersection in the distance, and then nodded at Kim Jong-ming with a little appreciation. "That friend of yours is really capable, and he said that it would take a few minutes to really take a few minutes...... I just don't know who is here this time, with such a big show, there must be seven or eight cars, right?"

"Nine cars, five are from the Blue House and four are from the Ministry of Culture. Jin Zhongming replied disapprehantly. "Jin Qichun came in person, he is the head of the Blue House Secretariat, although he is not as good as the prime minister of the foreign court in terms of name, but the actual power is not much worse, plus he is old and senior, it is inevitable that the pomp and circumstance will be bigger...... Then it seems that the newly appointed Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Ms. Cho Yoon-suon, is also in the convoy. ”

"No wonder...... But how do you know it's Jin Qichun?"

"Didn't I say it just now?" Jin Zhongming was slightly stunned. "I already said it when a friend from the Blue House called me just now. ”

"I'm sure you didn't. Choi Min-sik was speechless.

"But it doesn't matter. Jin Zhongming shook his head and said. "Whether it's the famous old Jin Qichun who came today, or the little Jin Qichun who has just been a spokesman for a year, we all have to do things, do we still go home because we are afraid of this old man?"

"That's just as well. Choi Min-sik sighed. "I'll ask you one last time, are you sure?"

Jin Zhongming glanced at the other party, didn't say anything, but got up and left directly.

Cui Dacang shook his head, and also stood up abruptly and followed.

Half an hour later, in the conference room of the Film Promotion Committee, a small-scale closed-door meeting was in serious progress, and sitting in the first place was Kim Ki-chun, director of the Secretariat of the South Korean Presidential Office, on his left hand was Cho Yunxuan, the new Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and on the right hand was Chung Jin-joo, chairman of the Korean Film Promotion Committee.

At this moment, it was the old secretary general Kim Qichun, who was over 70 years old, who was conveying his spirit with a black face: "The current Korean literary and art circles, especially the Korean film circles, are simply making trouble! These people are all uneducated and unskilled, and can only survive by relying on government subsidies and subsidies, but they are all self-righteous and always cause trouble for no reason. So, this time the government will not tolerate it, and the president has already made up his mind...... As subordinates, we must distinguish between the position of friend and foe in the film industry and even in the literary and artistic circles...... In short, on the one hand, it is necessary to encourage the activity of right-wing conservative groups in the film industry, and on the other hand, it is necessary to comprehensively suppress those left-wing filmmakers......"

Listening to the generous speech of the high-ranking secretary of the Blue House, the high-level officials of the Korean Film Promotion Committee on both sides had serious expressions, but their hearts did not fluctuate...... To tell the truth, they who are accustomed to seeing the wind and rain have long realized in their hearts, isn't it just a 'subsidy blacklist', and they can commit such a solemn thing?

In the past, the Lee Beung government had such a list, and even in the era of President Kim Dae-jung, who is said to have pioneered the great development of Hallyu culture...... The superior is always cautious, so why is it so aggressive?

"Uh...... That Secretary-General Kim?" Seeing an opportunity, Zheng Jinzhou finally interjected. "What about the specific range? To distinguish between friend and foe, you have to draw a range, right?"

"Chairman Zheng. Old Jin Qichun frowned slightly. "You're in too much of a hurry, aren't you?"

"Secretary-General Kim, Minister Zhao. Zheng Jinzhou bowed slightly to the two high-ranking people present. "Some things are easy to rush because they can't be overlooked. ”

"Look at what Chairman Zheng said. As a lady, Minister of Culture Cho Yunxuan, who had only been in office for less than a week, bowed her head and smiled. "Could it be that we're having a meeting here, and someone will break in later?"

Zheng Jinzhou became more serious: "The two, Jin Zhongming and An Shengjike are both members of the revitalization committee, they have been in the office here since the 05 stubborn quota movement, longer than I have been here, let's continue to drag on, maybe it will make them suspicious......"

"You mean someone will report the news?" Ms. Zhao Yunxuan also became serious. "In that case...... Secretary-General Kim, do you want to do it as soon as possible? If Jin Zhongming really breaks in, we won't be able to hold this meeting. ”

Jin Qichun couldn't help frowning: "Then as soon as possible......

"Cough!" At this moment, Zheng Jinzhou suddenly coughed again, which caused Jin Qichun's dissatisfaction and finally put the words away. "Secretary-General Kim, I mean...... The reason why Kim Jong-myung and Ahn Sung-ki have a name in the Film Promotion Committee is actually because they have a large amount of government aid funds. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Jin Qichun was stunned.

"Yes. Zheng Jinzhou nodded. "It was Roh Moo-hyun's time, and in order to compensate the film industry for concessions in domestic quotas, the government set up a special subsidy fund. ”

"That's right, the Ministry of Culture also has this allocation. Zhao Yunxuan echoed. Moreover, now their teachers and students still have a great influence on the Cultural Prosperity Fund. In other words, if we don't get their teachers and students to cooperate, I am afraid that it will be difficult to implement our policies. ”

After saying this, Zheng Jinzhou and Zhao Yunxuan couldn't help but raise their heads and glance at each other through Jin Qichun, and then they each lowered their heads, and the people below also looked at each other for a while.

Jin Qichun was also silent for a moment, but then spoke: "Actually, you don't have to worry about this, there will naturally be a statement from above, now we just need to deal with this matter within our purview and according to the intentions above...... Since we have to do it as soon as possible, then we'll get it right as soon as possible...... I would like to announce the scope of this need for strict control. ”

Everyone sat up straight in solemnity.

"Remember, internal documents, don't leak them!" Jin Qichun said sternly after glancing around. "Whoever leaks the news will get out!"

“……”

"First of all, there are not many people who directly spread rumors and oppose the government in the "Diving Bell" turmoil, because most of them are from the Busan Film Festival Executive Committee and the Filmmakers Federation, and people like former Minister Lee Chang-dong and director Lim Kwon-taek should also be respected...... is mainly the producer and distributor of "Diving Bell", as well as Choi Min-sik and Song Kang-ho...... There is a total of one film production company and 24 artists, let's take a look at the list first......"

A thin piece of paper was turned out of Jin Qichun's assistant's backpack, and then formally passed through the hands of the meeting participants, and finally put away by Zheng Jinzhou.

Everyone knows that this is just an appetizer, but Choi Min-sik and Song Kang-ho on the list are still eye-catching.

"Then there are the so-called leftists who openly criticized the government in the Sewol incident and unjustifiably demanded that the government be held accountable for the Sewol incident...... These people have no intention of asking that there is a political party, and there is no reason for the government to get used to them, a total of 570 people......"

This time, Secretary General Jin Qichun's assistant took out two pieces of paper that had been printed and bound together from his bag, and then everyone in the conference room couldn't help but pay a slight attention to the people on the list while passing them on...... If you have acquaintances, it is a matter of course to say hello, on the surface it is one thing to admit it or not, but in private it is another thing, and in the end, these two pieces of paper were also received by Zheng Jinzhou in his briefcase.

"And ......" With Jin Qichun's words, a commotion spread slightly, but it immediately subsided with the glance of the veteran politician. "There is another thing, which actually happened just last week, some people in the entertainment industry jointly signed a document asking the government to further investigate the truth about the Sewol...... There are some reasons I don't want to say, they jumped out and saved me trouble, the list you go to the Internet to find it yourself, I remember 754 people......"

It dawned on everyone that it was no wonder that the ready-made list was sent...... However, even if it is deduplicated, the number after adding one of the two lists may be a bit numb, there are too many people, and it is a bit troublesome!

"Do you think this is the end of it?" Jin Qichun looked around, and then continued to speak amid the stunned gazes of those insiders, including Zhao Yunxuan and Zheng Jinzhou. "Let me tell you clearly, this time the government says that it has made up its mind, and it will not end at the point...... Some people actually show their butts a long time ago, but they think we don't remember at all? Let me tell you clearly, this is not only a reckoning after the autumn, but also an early erasure and prevention of potential threats!"

The atmosphere in the conference room was a little tense and a little weird...... To tell the truth, everyone really doesn't know who Jin Qichun refers to? It has been less than two years since the president came to power, and the quarrel with the literary and artistic circles is only a recent thing.

"At the time of the Sewol accident, local elections were also underway in South Korea, and many election results were affected by this incident and reversed......

Everyone suddenly realized.

"The most troublesome thing is the re-election of Park Won-soon here in Seoul, and what is disturbing is that we have counted 1,608 people in the entertainment industry who openly cheered for Park Won-soon...... At this time, those who fall into the well must be severely punished!"

"Secretary-General Jin, isn't this number a bit much?" Zheng Jinzhou held a few pieces of paper again, but he didn't put them in his briefcase in a hurry, but couldn't help but question Jin Qichun a little.

"Not much. Jin Qichun looked Zheng Jinzhou up and down, and then gave a crisp answer.

"Yes. Zheng Jinzhou replied a little dejectedly, and then put the new list into his bag.

"It's not over yet!" Jin Qichun turned around and sneered at the group of people who were already pale. "What is this? ”

Everyone's eyes in the conference room were straight, because with Jin Qichun's 'bring it', I saw that the assistant to the secretary general actually took out a stack of lists directly from his bag...... It was really a stack! A list of dozens of pages, like a book, was handed to the head of the Blue House's secretarial office.

"During the 2012 presidential election, how many real-name supporters of Ahn Cheol-so and Moon Jae-in were two bastards in the entertainment industry, do you really think we don't remember? A total of 6,517 people!"

"This ......" Ms. Zhao Yunxuan was already pale.

And the rest of the people sitting below were simply stunned.

"Chairman Zheng Jinzhou asked me just now, is the number a little more?" Jin Qichun ignored the newly appointed Minister of Culture next to him, and shook the list in his hand with a sneer. "If you want me, a stubborn old man, the most ridiculous thing about you young people doing things is that you don't know how to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so that the spring breeze blows and grows ......."

"The predecessor said well!" At this moment, someone suddenly picked up Secretary General Jin's words without knowing whether he was alive or dead. "Cut the grass to the roots...... The juniors have been taught!"

Before the words fell, the thick book-like list had been snatched away by a big hand.
