Chapter 076: Involuntary Consciousness (Medium)
PS: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone!
Jin Zhongming smiled slightly and nodded to Congressman Luo Qingyuan, regarded as a salute, and then directly pulled a stool to sit on the other side of the chessboard, and began to watch the game seriously. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This office is large and has an ensuite, and if you sit in the bedroom with a window inside, you may feel the autumn rain outside, and if you open the door on the left and walk into the secretary's room, you may feel noisy and busy. But at this moment, in this place where chess is played, it seems that since Jin Zhongming came in, except for the sound of the two chess pieces in front of him when they were on the board, there was almost no other sound in the entire reception room.
How do you say that? It seems to be a little quiet and scary.
But Jin Zhongming didn't seem to feel this, he folded his hands, and then squinted his eyes slightly and stared at the chessboard, and he didn't mean to speak.
What a gentleman who is silent when watching chess!
At the same time, a few kilometers away in Cheongdam-dong, Lee Min-jeong, who had figured out the situation and made up her mind, reached out and hugged Lee Byung-hun, and seemed to be persuading the other party to something, and her tone was very gentle.
"There is no chance. Li Bingxian shook his head slightly dejectedly. "The gap in strength is too great. South Korea is a hierarchical society, and it is capital that determines the hierarchy, and it is an ironclad fact that he is richer and more powerful than me. Unless I'm going to buy a lottery ticket tomorrow...... But you have to go to the United States to buy lottery tickets, otherwise you won't be able to win a billion dollars, at least at the same level as him in terms of assets, otherwise Ben and I will not be qualified to get rid of his shadow!"
"Then you can hide!" Li Minzhen seriously proposed. "You can go to the United States, go to Europe, I can accompany you, let's hide for three or five years and then come back......"
"I actually thought about it. Li Bingxian smiled bitterly. "Right on this couch...... Of course, also in the office, and even at banquets...... In the past two months, as long as I am alone, I naturally think about it, and I have thought about it many times, and this is indeed a method. Koreans, no matter what kind of circle of struggle they have, it's too normal for the loser to run away, and the other party will never chase and kill, right?"
"Then why don't you leave?" Li Minzhen pressed her face to the man's chest.
"Because I'm reluctant!" Li Bingxian's expression changed quickly, and the helplessness on his face just now suddenly became firm and serious. "I've dreamed of making movies since I was in high school, and I used to try to rent a camera and shoot it myself during the summer vacation, and then my parents gave me a leash to do it...... If you don't let me Lee Byung-hun make a movie, it's better to kill me!"
Li Minzhen was slightly stunned, with her thoughts, it was difficult to understand why this man would react so much when he talked about his career, but she also understood the other party's jealousy of Kim Jong-ming better. South Korea is so big, the Korean film industry is even smaller, and Chungmu Road is just so long, Kim Jong-myung standing on the street staring at him is indeed enough to make it difficult for him to move an inch.
And when it comes to the topic of movies, Lee Byung-hun seems to be very clear-headed, and the logic of his speech has become much better: "I want to make movies, and this has never changed." However, all my film dreams are maintained in South Korea, and I have almost buried myself in the Korean film industry in the past 20 years. In this case, as long as I have a little passion, I can't give up...... It's easy to say in three years and five years, but who will remember Lee Byung-hun after he comes back?"
"Then ...... you," Li Minzhen asked, staring at the other party with wide eyes. "Why don't you give in?"
"I relented. Li Bingxian said indignantly. "I was already convinced, he stepped on my face like this, I didn't say a word, and asked Yeon Jung-hoon to help me make peace...... But he won't let me go!"
"Why?" Li Minzhen was even more puzzled. "Huang Zhengmin, those people just expressed their recognition at the movie level, and they didn't ...... at all"
"I have a personal grudge against him. Lee Byung-hun suddenly felt a little ridiculous. "It's been a long time, and several things ......"
Li Minzhen didn't speak again, but rolled her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.
At one o'clock in the morning, several secretaries had already left the office of the Grand National Party headquarters in Yeouido, but most of them were careful not to make a sound when they left, and they seemed to have long been accustomed to these situations.
And finally, at this time, Aunt Park also admitted defeat to Jin Wuxing.
In other words, as soon as he cast here, Jin Qichun walked out from next door with a dinner plate, four cups of hot coffee and two plates of nuts and nuts...... Jin Zhongming, who provoked him, stared at him from beginning to end, and it seems that being a secretary is quite hard.
"I conceded. Jin Wuxing smiled very heartily while holding his coffee.
"You're still a step ahead. Aunt Park didn't seem to care much about winning or losing, and she also began to twist the nuts.
"It's wonderful. Luo Qingyuan also applauded slightly, but immediately turned her attention to Jin Zhongming, who was directly opposite her. "Why, our new actor doesn't seem to be interested in Go, why do you keep looking at Secretary Jin Qichun?"
The other two seemed to have just discovered Jin Zhongming, and they also looked at it together.
"Not really...... Kim Jong Ming smiled. "I just think it's hard to be a politician, I arrived at 11 o'clock in the evening, when the lights were still bright downstairs. It's one o'clock in the morning now, and the three of them, whether it's Secretary Jin, they're all so full of energy...... I even have the heart to play Go......"
"It's just pleasure in suffering. Aunt Park finally spoke to Kim Jong-ming. "It's the bedroom anyway, I don't care about that. In other words, I haven't congratulated Zhong Ming on winning the actor...... Pretty happy, huh?"
"Definitely. Jin Zhongming smiled unabashedly and nodded. "Overall, tonight has been exciting until now, even ...... It's not normal to be a little excited. ”
"Abnormal is normal. Jin Wuxing hurriedly put down the coffee, and then made up the congratulations with a smile. "Congratulations, congratulations. ”
At this moment, Jin Qichun, who had just put down the coffee and started to clean up the chessboard, looked at Aunt Park with some embarrassment.
"What's wrong?" Aunt Park was a little puzzled.
"It seems to be missing a chess piece. Jin Qichun explained a little helplessly.
"Let's find it!" Aunt Park said with a slight frown.
"Yes. Jin Qichun immediately began to lean over the coffee table where the chessboard was placed and began to look for something.
Jin Zhongming couldn't help grinning when he saw this scene.
"Zhong Ming, what's wrong?" Luo Qingyuan kept looking at Jin Zhongming.
"Secretary Kim is amazing. Jin Zhongming stared at Jin Qichun and praised. "I was brought coffee in the hallway, and it didn't take him two minutes to find out what flavor I liked. Now in such a large game of Go, he actually counted while cleaning up the chessboard, and finally counted out that there was one missing chess piece! This level is ...... Tsk......"
Aunt Park also laughed.
"Ki Chun is indeed a wonderful young man. Jin Wuxing also sighed. "No wonder the chairman trusts him so much, but the chairman has always been good at using young people. ”
"But. Jin Zhongming suddenly sighed. "With all due respect, the game of Go, one less chess piece is one less, and it doesn't delay the game of chess, so why make Secretary Jin work so hard in the middle of the night?"
"Definitely. Jin Wuxing echoed again. "Then don't look for Qichun yet! It's been a hard day, let's rest!"
"yes. Aunt Park was slightly stunned and nodded immediately. "Qichun rests, and I'll look for it tomorrow at dawn." ”
Jin Qichun hurriedly got up and bowed slightly to Aunt Park, and then returned to the secretary's room with the chess set.
"Actually...... I noticed it just now. After watching the other party leave, Jin Zhongming suddenly opened his mouth to break the silence. "It's not just the small things like missing a chess piece, but even when you play chess, you always seem to be particularly obsessed with details...... Although I only know a little about Go, I can see the whole situation very clearly. ”
"Really?" Aunt Park asked lightly.
"Yes. Jin Zhongming's answer was particularly powerful and affirmative. "When I came in, it was clear that your white pieces were already gaining momentum, and Councilor Kim's could only compete with you for a little marginal space...... But I don't know what's going on, your attention is completely absorbed by the fight on that corner, and in the end, Councilor Kim secretly lays out a reinforcement and succeeds, and then sneaks up and kills one of your big dragons, and you don't even have time to rob it...... So, with all due respect, this junior has taken the liberty of saying that you have shown a trait that should not belong to superiors and leaders in this game of chess!"
Jin Wuxing looked up at the ceiling, as if he was recalling his masterpiece just now, and Luo Qingyuan was also seriously bowing his head and sipping coffee.
Aunt Park didn't move, after listening to Jin Zhongming's words, she first ate the twisted nuts in her hand, and then drank a sip of coffee to moisten her throat, and then opened her mouth again:
"It seems that Qingyuan is still wrong, Zhong Ming, your Go level is really good, we all thought you were asleep when we played chess just now...... Why, it seems that I usually play Go, right?"
Jin Zhongming shook his head firmly again: "I really rarely play Go......! Because of my personal preference, I even hate Go. ”
"How do you say that?" Luo Qingyuan smiled and interrupted. "Go is our national art, and when China, Japan, and South Korea, the three East Asian countries, talk about playing chess, no matter what, they still have to count the word Go. As a Korean, how can you hate Go?"
"Not necessarily. Jin Wuxing also smiled. "You also said that they are the three countries of East Asia, and Zhong Ming grew up in the United States......"
"It has nothing to do with this. Kim Jong-ming's seriousness contrasted sharply with the playfulness of the other two. "As I said, I hate Go as a matter of personal dislike...... To be precise, I just hate Go pieces!"
"It's new. Jin Wuxing stared at Jin Zhongming with interest. "Does anyone hate chess pieces?
Kim Jong Ming chuckled at the other party, and then looked up at Aunt Park, who was still eating nuts and drinking coffee, as if he didn't understand what he meant at all.
However, Jin Zhongming was not discouraged, but said to himself: "I am a young man, and young people always like to show their characteristics and respect their individuality, which is actually human nature. As for Go, the full game of chess pieces is indeed varied, and it is indeed endless in the display of IQ and the perception of philosophy. But...... Its chess pieces are all the same...... What's even more terrifying is that once the game is settled, it can't move again, and it can only be decided by the chess player, like a dead thing!
"Then what kind of chess do you like?" Aunt Park suddenly spoke.
"I love chess. Jin Zhongming spread his hands.
"The fate of chess pieces is actually in the hands of the chess players......" Luo Qingyuan seemed to want to persuade Jin Zhongming.
"But!" Jin Zhongming's voice was not high, but his tone suddenly became clear and serious, as if he had returned to the podium of the Great Bell Awards not long ago. "Chess pieces have their own rules. The horse walks like a field, and the soldier walks diagonally but does not leave the palace, so even if the person who plays chess thinks it is a waste, he can't throw it out casually! There is also a pawn, which looks the most ridiculous and sorrowful, but it does not want to retreat, and no one can force it to take half a step back! What if it has to make it retreat? It is also very simple, the person playing chess must first stand up and say to the person on the other side, 'I admit defeat and stop playing'! Then a person goes home and puts the chess pieces on the chessboard and plays by himself...... Councillor Luo, am I right?"
Luo Qingyuan was blocked there, unable to say a word.
However, Jin Zhongming didn't mean to stop there, he turned his head and looked directly at Aunt Park in front of him: "But...... An even more terrible situation appears in the real game, the real game actually has no chess players, everyone is just a chess piece with their own operating rules. It's just that some of these people can only be pawns now, while some people can already be chariots, horses, artillery, and generals. Chairman Park, I think you were deceived by your superiority before your real opponent appeared, and then mistakenly thought that you were capable of jumping off the chessboard as a chess player...... That's why I can take others so directly and urgently!"
Aunt Park didn't refute, she just took out a tissue and wiped her hand that had just pinched the nuts.
"Then I'll go home and rest first. Jin Wuxing stood up knowingly. "You talk slowly. ”
In this way, Luo Qingyuan also got up and left. In the reception room, there were only two people left, Kim Jong-ming and Aunt Park.
"How did you notice that?" Aunt Park opened first. "You came to me because of Zheng Jinzhou's matter, right? How long has it been? I asked him to wait for you to win the award before revealing it......
"He did tell me before he came today, but someone reminded me again this afternoon. Jin Zhongming laughed self-deprecatingly. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have figured out so many ways just by calming down at the door for more than an hour......"
"Who reminded you?" Aunt Park was slightly stunned, but immediately thought of a new question. "No, if you thought it clearly at the door, then it wasn't because of Zheng Jinzhou's matter that you came to me...... What's going on?"
"...... this afternoon," Kim sneered. "In the library of the Seoul National University School of History, Professor Ahn Cheol-so talked to me for a long time. Then he reminded me at one point that sooner or later you would intervene to contain my ......"
Aunt Park smiled dumbly, this is a coincidence.
Then, at the big bell award celebration banquet in the evening, the vice president of Hyundai Group came to speak on behalf of the former chairman......
Aunt Park smiled again: "I didn't expect you to be a sweetheart...... But it's also a sweet spot worth wooing. ”
"So, my sweetheart actually came to see you late at night with the intention of being loyal at the beginning!" Jin Zhongming said with a smile. "It's just that after being turned away by you, listening to the wind and rain outside, and drinking a lot, my mind suddenly became much clearer, and everything went back and forth...... It didn't take long to sort everything out...... First of all, Professor Ahn Cheol-so reminded that no one in power can stand my strong expansion, although the Korean film industry is not a particularly good place, but if it is really a word, I am afraid it will make people restless. So, of course you can understand that you are clamping me down......"
"Since it's understandable...... Why do you still have such a look of pending?" Aunt Park interrupted Kim Jong-ming's statement.
"Because of the purpose!" Jin Zhongming's eyes were calm. "I'm wondering what you're really doing this!"
Aunt Park was silent.
"I thought about it for a moment. Jin Zhongming sighed slightly in his heart. "If you just want me to try to serve as the chairman of the Film Promotion Committee and the president of the General Federation of Filmmakers...... So wouldn't it be too early and too urgent to do this, at least you have to wait for the movie "The Crucible" to come out before moving me, right?"
Aunt Park still didn't say a word.
"Actually, Chairman, if you are for this purpose, I can understand it completely. Today, I will calmly accept your cold reception, and then leave without saying a word after telling you that Professor Ahn Cheol-so and Mr. Zheng have come to me......"
"Then why do you talk so much nonsense?" Aunt Park laughed again. "It's a chess piece again, and it's a rule...... What is it that irritates you?"
"It's very simple, Chairman Park, the real reason why I'm so serious and even a little rude is ...... I'm very worried that you're doing this, not just because of this kind of 'technique' that is taken for granted by the superiors!, but because of something else that is not calm!" At this point, Jin Zhongming stared at the other party seriously. "So I want to ask you personally, does what you did has anything to do with the Crucible and Song Kang-ho's predecessors?! If so, I would like to remind you that what you are doing is actually doing the opposite!"
Aunt Park was stunned, she forgot to withdraw her hand to grab the nut, and the only action she made was just turning her head and looking at each other in amazement!
In other words, Aunt Park is like meeting this young man for the first day...... A feeling of appreciation and even admiration suddenly appeared in her heart...... For many years, she swore she had completely forgotten the feeling, and it was amazing.
How to say, now, she completely understands what the other party means!
First of all, this kid really doesn't care about arranging Zheng Jinzhou to expand his influence in the Korean film industry to restrain him...... What he really cared about was the pitiful, ridiculous, lamentable, but respectable dignity of Korean filmmakers.
The movie "The Melting Pot" is really an excellent means, and Gwangju, as Moon Jae-in's home base, would be wonderful if the whole country really felt that it was a mess there! But Kim Jong-myung actually rejected his proposal to join, and clearly told his own people that he could not use the means until the movie was released.
This one...... In fact, it has made Aunt Park very unhappy, and today's face is just because of this.
The real problem, though, lies with Song Kang-ho.
Song Kang-ho, to be honest, Aunt Park hates this person very much, and she hates this person unusually much. Not to mention anything else, a "Barber in the Filial Piety Cave" is enough! In that movie, the other party not only ridiculed his father, but even joked about his father's death, and finally poured dirty water on his father's assassination! Even his childhood, he was taken out of that movie and mocked him implicitly!
Let any person say, how can Song Kang-ho, as the leading actor, not be hated by Aunt Park?
And now, Aunt Park has got the exact news. That is, Moon Jae-in found Song Kang-ho again, and it seemed that he wanted him to go out of the mountain to play a political movie and fight in the ring with Kim Jong-myung's "The Melting Pot"!
But what can he do? Choi Min-sik can spend more than two years concentrating on worshipping the Buddha after smashing the medal issued by Lee Myung-bak, and Song Kang-ho will never lose half a bit of backbone than him! It's like Lim Kwon-taek can shave his bald head outside the Guanghua Gate without hesitation! Just like Ahn Sung-gi can throw down a half-filmed scene and run back to lead a Korean actor to a sit-in! There are always a few people of kind among Korean filmmakers!
And it is because of so many people of a kind that Aunt Park can't wait or even panic to enable Zheng Jinzhou, a person who has long taken refuge in her.
Her plan is actually very simple, she will greet and exert pressure in the back, and do her best to help Jung Jin-ju kill Jung In-yeol, the president of the General Federation of Filmmakers, and then let the chairman of the Korean Film Promotion Committee become the president of the General Federation of Filmmakers. At that time, Zheng Jinzhou will actually control the upper and lower channels of the government and the Korean film industry, and her Aunt Park can wantonly and openly spread public funds through this channel, so as to greatly spread her influence in the short term......
Is there any intention to suppress Kim Jong-ming in the future? Yes!
Is there any meaning to knock Jin Zhongming because the problem of "The Crucible" is not enough to cooperate?
However, more importantly, Aunt Park hopes that with her support, Jung Jin-ju can do her best to block some of Song Kang-ho's actions!
She hated that person so much!
However, so I said that now, there is a Korean filmmaker as kind as Song Kang-ho, who is only in his twenties and dares to sit in front of him so calmly, and then say that he is perverse! Think of Song Kang-ho, then think of Choi Min-sik, think of Ahn Sung-ki, think of Lim Kwon-taek, this is like a lineage!
"Get out!" Aunt Park is also a person, although she has been a professional politician for decades, but she has her own emotions, and Song Kanghao's three words really make her feel angry and even ashamed from the bottom of her heart, so although she is still gritting her teeth and trying to keep smiling, her tone is not as fierce as she imagined, but she is really telling Kim Jong-ming to get out.
Kim Jong-ming stood up calmly, then took out the black-framed glasses from his jacket and put them on: "Chairman Park, I'll leave now." But before I go, I still have to tell you these three things. ”
As he spoke, Jin Zhongming stretched out three fingers despite Aunt Park's cold eyes: "First of all, I still hope that you can think about what I said before, and I hope that you can try to respect people who are weaker than you but have their own survival principles." Secondly, please rest assured, no matter how principled I am, I will not change my course easily, and I will still do my best to help you in 2012. Finally, I may have to go to China at the end of the year...... This was planned for a long time, and I hope you don't think I'm scared of you and run away. In short, adhering to the fine tradition of a Korean filmmaker, I will not let Jung Jin-joo get stuck in the neck of Song Kang-ho's predecessors. In South Korea, as long as you don't break the law, you can shoot whatever you want, this is the most basic principle!
After that, Kim Jong-ming walked out directly when Aunt Park was already laughing at him.
At this moment, the corridor outside the door was empty, and Kim Jong-ming walked out of the corridor in a strange feeling of relaxation and tension, and he was ready for a storm of revenge when he was still sitting in this corridor. Krystal will have to go to school honestly in the next few years, and Sika will have to be more restrained...... Even Mama Zheng's café can be advised to close it first.
However, these are all worth it,
First of all, people must know how to respect and love themselves, if Aunt Park just asks him to contribute money and efforts, or even help create public opinion, then he has nothing to say, this is the rule of the game. However, if the other party only treats himself and the entire Korean film industry as a pawn in the game, and easily tramples on the chess piece's own rules of conduct and bottom line, then he will never agree, and he will show his attitude in the face of retaliation.
What's more, in the long run, at his age, it is not a big deal to sacrifice several years of development prospects. As long as he survives, then he Kim Jong-myung will get something that has never been seen before - the respect of all Korean filmmakers.
That's what he's really lacking.
"Zhong Ming, wait a minute. ”
At this moment, a very familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him, and the corners of Jin Zhongming's mouth slid a trace of mockery, but he immediately put it away, and then immediately turned around to meet it:
"Councilor Kim, why haven't you come home yet?"
"I'm waiting for you!" Jin Wuxing replied earnestly, and at the same time took Jin Zhongming's hand affectionately. "I've wanted to get close to you for a long time. Why don't we go to my office for a coffee? latte with milk and sugar, I know. ”
