Chapter 060: Huang Donghyuk
Jiang Minjing's matter ended here, there was nothing left except a headless and tailless scandal; Quan Baolan went back in a daze, and did not give back any superfluous information; Ms. Li Jingshu continued to run the coffee shop with peace of mind, Ms. Kwon Jin-sook, like the other two parents who are still working, is still very busy every day; Sika made her debut in Japan and became very popular; Krystal started her own group showcase, and at the same time prepared to participate in the family concert of S.M company along the way, and I don't know if she will gain two laps when she comes back; Chu Long's trainee career has also come to a critical point, all kinds of strange courses crowded her life......
In addition, even the coal was taken away by Busan Kanban Niang Zheng unreasonably, so Kim Jongming suddenly found that he was abandoned by everyone at once, just like poor little Baker, and it seemed that only he and a freshly weaned puppy were left in his whole life.

Affected by this, Jin Zhongming's daily life throughout September seems extremely simple, this simplicity starts every morning, to be specific, usually around half past six in the morning, when morning exercisers passing near the East Lake Bridge will see him, and he must be taking a white dog for a morning jog on the river embankment below the bridge. After the morning exercise, it was naturally breakfast, and Jin Zhongming had been buying breakfast at the breakfast shop downstairs for more than half a month, and then took it upstairs to share it with Baker. After that, he walked to the company to work, of course, he couldn't take Baker at this time, but Baker was unexpectedly very well-behaved when he was alone at home, and he would go to the toilet to play under the sofa, which rarely gave Jin Zhongming a headache when he came home in the evening. And in the evening, he would still sit on the balcony and think about the script he had been worrying about, bit by bit, bit by bit, little by little, and slowly the outline of the whole script would come out, and at this time, Baker would usually roll under his feet or sleep.
Day after day, that's all.
On weekends, Kim Jong-ming has more options, sometimes he will accompany his two fathers to the Han River to fish, although he usually plays the role of driver and porter there, and he also sleeps when he is actually fishing, and even the fish that his two fathers have worked hard to catch will become Baker's toys...... However, after all, it is to accompany the elders of the family to go fishing, and this is a very symbolic 'filial piety' in Korea.
Of course, you can't just fish, Jin Zhongming sometimes chooses to go to Zheng's mother's café to 'sit on the stage', you read that right, it's this word, it's to sit on the platform, he sits there, Baker sprinkles joy on the ground, basically the café is full. And it is worth mentioning that Baker's popularity over there seems to be far stronger than him, and he already has some potential as an Internet celebrity, and I even heard that someone has established a fanclub for it......
In addition, Kim Jong Ming sometimes goes to see some young actors' gatherings and accepts some media interviews, which is finally a bit of a normal life for artists, but that's all. More often, his life trajectory is more like an ordinary person's running account, dry, but natural.
In fact, Jin Zhongming's doing this is not only caused by being 'abandoned' by the people around him, but he also has a deliberate side, because these days of life actually reopened a long-sealed door for him. For a long time, as an entertainer and a successful businessman, he found that he had been out of the real life for too long, and the real routine life brought him not only peace of mind, but also a touch of extra insight......
Even, there is a touch of the script setting that he has always been difficult to make up his mind, and now when he looks at the book "The Crucible" and that story from the perspective of an ordinary person, in fact, many things feel completely different. He began to admire Kong Zhiyong's observation of this society more and more, and began to accept and understand more and more the details and concepts in the novel.
Not to mention anything else, from the perspective of the so-called hero, aside from the happy ending in the end, the whole novel is really touching, and the struggle of the protagonist in the whole book seems particularly real and helpless.
Because for a person who is immersed in life and needs to give everything for the happiness or helplessness of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, the concept of hero is not so clearly defined, and looking at the whole incident, almost all of them are just ordinary people.
However, this deep perception brings pressure, because with such a good dish in hand, it is your responsibility to do it badly.
In this way, in October, Jin Zhongming has completely had his own ideas about the character of the actor and even the tone of the entire movie script, and the script has been roughly completed.
So, now that you have the idea and the script, it's natural to start some preparations.
So, at the beginning of October, CUBE announced the film production decision of "The Crucible", and at the same time began to audition three young actors. Kim Jong Ming didn't use Kim Sae Ron, frankly speaking, Kim Sae Ron is a drama master, and it's not impossible for her to act, but the combination of Kim Jong Ming and Kim Sae Ron is too dramatic, and "Uncle" is in front of Zhuyu, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the audience to get rid of the impression of Uncle and Xiaomi. Then, the audition is a must.
But it is not only the young actors who need to audition, but also the heroine and director must also conduct an open recruitment, and the most troublesome of them is the director. Kim Jong-ming needs a director who understands himself, but this director also needs to control the rhythm and atmosphere of the film with his own experience and calmness...... This is especially difficult.
Five or six directors who came to the door in a row were politely rejected, and Kim Jong-ming didn't want to find a big-name director who was his ancestor, otherwise, if he really found Bong Joon-ho to come over, who would he listen to?
However, the hard work paid off, and when he set off for Gwangju one day to check the venue, another man wearing black-rimmed glasses came to recommend himself, and this time, Kim Jong Ming was completely moved.
"Introduce yourself. "The man is only in his forties, which is undoubtedly more like a rookie in the Korean director industry, and his self-introduction confirms this. "My name is Hwang Dong-hyuk, and I only have one work of real director at the moment......"
"It doesn't matter. Jin Zhongming chuckled. "Director Huang, you can rest assured...... I think the key to the problem is the understanding of the film, and it has nothing to do with experience. ”
"I think so. Hwang Dong-hyuk's expression was very flirtatious when he spoke, he was even in the mood to wink at Kim Jong-ming, and he had been smiling since he came to the office, which was completely different from the previous directors who looked bitter and hateful. "So continue my self-introduction, I am your senior at Seoul National University, a journalism graduate, and I wanted to make a film after graduation, so I went to USC to learn how to make movies, and before '05, I actually had been working in Hollywood......
Jin Zhongming instinctively despised the other party, no matter how high his education is, no matter how high his education is, no matter how American he is, no matter how big Southern California is, and then Hollywood, what is the matter with the level of the director? Not to mention that you are a rookie director.
"Then you must have read the novel before you came, right?" Regardless of what he thought in his heart, when the identity of the other party's senior was revealed, Jin Zhongming immediately changed his name, and he also poured a cup of coffee for the director himself. Among them, the actions in the back are not deliberately flattering, in fact, he has been like this to all directors these days, because for a creature like a Korean director, it is better to maintain respect for such small details, even if he himself is the best Korean director.
"Actually. Hwang Dong-hyuk took the coffee and smashed his mouth. "I read the whole story a long time ago, when the novel first came out. ”
"Oh?" Kim Jong Ming was slightly interested. "So what do you think of this novel. ”
"First of all, of course, I was touched. Hwang Dong-hyuk shrugged. "Who wouldn't be touched when you find that behind such a chilling story is a group of real victims? What's more, I've always felt very much about this kind of adaptation of real events, and my only official work is actually based on a real event, "My Father...... Daniel Henry's ......"
"I was very impressed. Jin Zhongming suddenly felt quite a big feeling at the person in front of him.
It's not because Kim Jong-ming really admired that movie for a long time, nor was he casually perfunctory and praised his seniors, but the real situation was because Daniel Henry beat Jang Keun Suk at the Blue Dragon Awards to win the best male newcomer with this movie!
Putting aside the political ass problem that made Kim Jong-ming uncomfortable in that movie, the quality of the whole movie is still quite good, especially in the real burning of these four words. The sense of calmness, spectatorship, and restraint in some of the shots in the middle of the film is very obvious, and this is exactly what Kim Jong-ming needs.
With the experience of this realistic film alone, Hwang Dong-hyuk has thrown the previous directors aside.
"Really?" Hwang Dong-hyuk didn't care. "That doesn't mean anything, let's go back to the Crucible novel itself...... To be honest, of course, it is also a big story, in addition to being deeply touched, I feel that the ending of the novel is too much pursuit of storytelling and literary conception, which is a bit disappointing to me. ”
"It's a need to be artistic. Jin Zhongming replied as usual.
"But the actor shouldn't be like that. Hwang Dong-hyuk shook his head. "It's too idealistic, and it completely contradicts my perception of 'reality'. Frankly speaking, whether you are an investor and copyright holder, or an actor and editor, I am just a person who came for an interview today, and I shouldn't say anything more. But I still have to state that if I become a director, the actor and even the plot must be redesigned!"
"What do you mean?" Kim Jongming remained noncommittal.
"The actor wants to return to the feeling of a small citizen. Hwang Dong-hyuk put away the casual feeling he had before, and his tone became serious. "We need to design an artistic image based on facts, in fact, the male protagonist has always been very cowardly and very small citizens, such a person should have a lot of weaknesses and handles, and the pure intentional heroine is different, he is not qualified to stick all the way! In other words, the male protagonist is not qualified to be idealized, this is determined by the real image behind him, as far as I know, the real thing is that you can make idealized actions in the short term and on the surface, but it is impossible to stick to it all the way, if it is really like that, then he must be a saint, and those bastards on the other side must have lost a long time ago, because they are not qualified to fight against a saint......"
"I'm not qualified, these three words, I'm going to give you a full score for seniors. Jin Zhongming, who had been bowing his head and being silent, suddenly spoke. "I think so too, in fact, I have been thinking about the theme of the film since I got the novel, because although it is an adaptation, there is still a huge gap between the film and the novel, which are two completely different art systems...... And after thinking about it, I think that what the movie should really show is not the corruption of justice or the darkness of the weak, which does not need to be deliberately created by us, after all, just putting the reality there is very cruel in itself, just take it out...... So I think the most important tone we need to show, or the central axis of the whole film, should be what you call 'unqualified'! The protagonist is not qualified to persevere, but the audience is not qualified to accuse him, and no one is qualified to face such a thing calmly......"
"So what adjustments do you think should be made when changing the script?" Hwang Dong-hyuk was also very excited. "I want to hear about it!"
"First of all, I want the protagonist to give in at the moment of truth and in the end. Kim Jong Ming finally revealed his true thoughts. Just as he had mustered up the courage to look directly into his conscience. He should indeed be struggling as much as he did in the novel...... But the final failure of the matter should also be due to his retreat. ”
"It takes a lot of courage. Hwang Dong-hyuk rubbed his hands excitedly. "But it really should be. In fact, I think that the writer Kong Zhiyong should also be aware of the reality and the result of real logical calculation, but she insisted on giving people a warm ending in the end...... It's a bit of a sigh. ”
"Writers have their own considerations. Jin Zhongming shook his head. "Just as we are saying that we are not qualified, we are not actually qualified to discuss and judge her, she has done well enough, and she is the first to stand up and speak out after things have fallen silent. ”
"You're right. Hwang Dong-hyuk calmed down. "It's true, a novel is a novel, and a movie is a movie. So, the novel by the writer Kong Zhiyong is very good, and this idea of yours is also very good, there is nothing to say. ”
"But it takes covert and good scriptwriting and editing. Kim Jong Ming added.
"We can do it!" Hwang Dong-hyuk replied without hesitation, and then eagerly continued. "You just said that first, there must be first, and secondly, secondly?"
"Secondly. Jin Zhongming looked down at his leather shoes. "I think we should show the kind of indifference of the whole people, the indifference of the small citizens, in the whole film. For a long time, no matter what form of literary and artistic work, it is not uncommon to tell the dark and corrupt examples of the powerful and the upper class. But, whatever it may be, the concept of the bottom and the underlying populace has always been true...... I think we need to make the audience realize that they are not qualified to blame the protagonist for the final retreat, and that the reason for this result is not only the source of the evil itself, but also the fact that they themselves do not speak out, and their willingness to be part of the melting pot is also an important and even the main reason for this result. You know what I mean?"
"I understand a little, but I don't understand it very well. Hwang Dong-hyuk replied frankly.
"I wanted to show a paradoxical concept. Jin Zhongming stretched out his hands and made an opposing gesture. "Apathy is an accomplice, but no one is in a position to accuse others of indifference, because everyone is apathetic. So in this film, I want to see the kind of indifference of the whole people, not only the indifference at the government and judicial levels, but also the teachers who have not been sexually assaulted and violent at all but have been ignoring all of this, as well as the parents who accepted the reconciliation letter at a critical moment, and the ordinary people of Gwangju who chose to ignore the protests...... But the most important thing is that whether it is the protagonist or those who choose to be indifferent, we have to show their own helplessness...... It's not that they don't want to, but everyone is in this melting pot, you have me, I have you, and I can melt the protagonist's conscience with others today, and that's because my conscience has been melted by others...... Just like the last sentence in the book......
"We fought all the way, not to change the world, but not to change us!" Hwang Dong-hyuk nodded and said. "When this sentence is said at the end of the film, it must make those who don't understand it feel resentful, and those who understand it must feel ashamed!"
"That's enough. Jin Zhongming laughed softly.
"Yes, that's enough. Hwang Dong-hyuk also smiled and nodded.
Before the words fell, the landline phone in Kim Jong-ming's hand suddenly rang, and Huang Dong-hyuk waved his hand to signal that he was okay, so Kim Jong-ming immediately picked up the phone. Two minutes later, after hanging up the phone, he leaned on the edge of his desk and spread his hands to Hwang Dong-hyuk, who was sitting opposite.
"What do you mean?" Huang Donghyuk was a little confused.
"Bad news. Kim Jong Ming suddenly felt a little funny. "I was going to see a school at the filming site in Gwangju, but suddenly I changed my mind, and the people at that school didn't hide it from me...... The city government put pressure on them. But...... I'm not angry, maybe I don't think I'm qualified, right?"
"We really don't have the right to say anything. Hwang Dong-hyuk also smiled. "Besides, all living beings have their own difficulties, and that school is in Gwangju, and they have too many hardships. ”
"However, if you can make a successful film. Jin Zhongming suddenly became solemn. "We're qualified to say something and some people!"
"Definitely. Hwang Dong-hyuk stood up solemnly. "So, I hope we have a good time working together. ”
"Then please seniors. Jin Zhongming got up and shook hands with the other party. "From now on, you'll have to worry about it, including casting. ”
"The duty lies. Huang Donghyuk replied meticulously, and the last bit of randomness in him disappeared with this sentence.
