Chapter 319 - Something to Say (I)
PS: I'm sorry, but I made a typo yesterday when I pushed the book, it's "In the Broken Warm Time" and not "In the Warm Time...... Saying that, I can't figure out which one is right, the title of this book......
Liu Yaren is Kim Jong-ming's trust, what do you say about this?
At the very least, after seeing the former's 'convincing' film review and apology, it is estimated that everyone still has no intention of thinking in this direction, because this confession and apology are so natural and reasonable. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info And when everyone knew that Kim Jong Ming forgave the other party and ate supper with the other party in Hongdae, the vast majority of people still didn't think about it, because maybe they felt that a person with Kim Jong Ming's identity should have this belly.
However, regardless of whether it is a guess or a result of carefully following the clues, there are still people who can understand it. So, in the evening, Han Hyo-joo still quickly appeared on Hongdae's side and joined the supper.
This doesn't seem to be anything to complain about, everyone knows that Han Hyo-joo lives in Hannam-dong, almost one step away from Hongdae, and she can come over in five minutes if she wants to.
"Gone?" At twelve o'clock in the evening, or around the wee hours of the morning, Han Hyo-joo sat alone on a long table at a pork knuckle shop in Hongdae, and waited for a long time before waiting for Yoo Ah-in.
"Gone. Liu Yaren sat down with relief. "Someone from his security company came to pick him up. ”
Han Hyo-joo nodded, as if she wanted to say something, but hesitated and didn't speak.
"Just ask if you want to!" Liu Yaren said impatiently. "The few fans waiting to take pictures at the door probably don't have the ability to eavesdrop, my house is far away, and I have to go back to sleep as soon as possible. ”
"Actually, it's nothing. Han Hyo-joo replied with a little uneasiness. "I just want to ask, when did you negotiate with him?"
"Correct. After hearing this question, Liu Yaren frowned sensitively. "It's not a consultation, there is no discussion between me and him, it's just a simple order and obedience, so there's no point in saying anything. ”
"Then change the question, you ...... Since when did you start to have this sense of 'compliance'?" Han Hyo-joo felt a little in hot pursuit.
"I forgot too. Liu Yaren lowered his head and took a sip of hot tea, then shook his head. "Anyway, things didn't happen overnight, if you have to say anything about the landmark event, I probably heard that he had a close relationship with candidate Park, so he didn't save face at a certain award ceremony, and then got a warning......"
"Who warned, he warned you?"
"That's not it, it's Choi Min-sik and Song Joong Ki. Liu Yaren recalled with a little emotion. "Senior Choi Min-sik noticed my reaction at the time, so he came over to remind me afterwards and let me do it myself. Then, I went to Joong Ki and talked to him in the hope that he would give me some advice, but he said something very interesting to me......"
Han Xiaozhu tilted her head at the right time and expressed a certain concern.
"Joong Ki said to me, no matter what we think ourselves, in fact, we are actually under the care of Kim Jong Myung's influence, and in the eyes of outsiders, we are also his Kim Jong Myung's people...... So what we think about ourselves is in a way meaningless. ”
Han Xiaozhu lowered her head and still didn't speak.
"It's as simple as that, I'm done. Liu Yaren is obviously still in a bad mood. "I'll leave first if it's okay, my house is far away......"
"It's still something. Han Hyo-joo suddenly raised her head again. "I actually want to ask you in particular, are you willing?"
"What do you mean?" Liu Yaren frowned rarely.
"Everyone is the same age, right?" asked Han Hyo-joo, pursing her lips. "He just called for wind and rain, and he didn't even have any rituals and no restraining status, so he became our ...... 'boss'? Don't you feel aggrieved?"
"If I didn't feel aggrieved, I wouldn't have stayed and talked to you so much. Liu Yaren finally couldn't help but sneer. "But what about grievances, don't you think he's acting too domineering, and then I'm completely against my will?"
"Who knows this but yourself?"
"Then let me say it bluntly, I am making a profit by doing this, and my clear opposition to Candidate Park is to create an image of not being afraid of power, and now, ...... Isn't this kind of image actually more successful? And it changes when it is wrong, and it is not brainless. At this point, Liu Yaren laughed self-deprecatingly. "There are too many people who rely on him to snort, and there are too many people who can use him, and I just happen to be the right fit, so the two sides hit it off. In a way, I'm naked. ”
"But to put it this way, this kind of ...... Where does the feeling of suffocation that you and I all get from?"
"Is it because of the distance?" Liu Yaren's tone gradually calmed down.
"You think he's blocking our people's way up?"
"On the contrary, if we still had such a sense of competition with him two years ago, now, the problem between him and us is that the mutual reservation space is too big. ”
Han Hyo-joo was silent.
At this point, Liu Yaren has completely calmed down: "The reserved space or distance I am talking about does not refer to things such as identity, power, and financial resources...... Have you watched today's movie Hyo-joo? That's the kind of distance that really makes people desperate. I've always wondered what kind of trick he is going to use as his hole cards? I've thought about trading power, I've thought about the transfer of benefits, and I've even thought about something I don't understand, but it's higher and dirtier...... It's not that I can't accept those things, in fact, I'm mentally prepared to accept them. But I never expected that his last hole card turned out to be a movie that made people's scalps tingle and their hearts went out of control! This thing was supposed to be the last trace of self-reliance for us people in front of him, or the last support for us to stand in front of him, but he dug up a new moat! In this case, can I not feel aggrieved? What are you like today...... Actually, that's what you think, right?"
Han Xiaozhu couldn't help but take a deep breath: "Almost, I also think you should feel the same way, that's why you ask such a boring question." To put it bluntly, this sense of suffocation is not due to being condescendingly used or ordered, but a kind of all-round loss, and a kind of confusion that cannot see the hope of catching up at all...... Anyway, it's the same age, right?"
"I'm far away, so I'm going back to sleep. Liu Yaren reiterated his reasons again, and then straightened up.
And this time, Han Hyo-joo finally didn't say anything more.
On the second day, the movie "Horror Live" really set off a wave of public opinion.
The plot that keeps reversing and finally sublimating, the exposure of cannibalistic social classes, sharp political satire, and also involves political gossip and confrontation in reality, as well as the abrupt reversal of the atmosphere of public opinion and the rupture and reunion between famous actors...... All these circumstances have really boosted the attention of this movie.
Of course, the media is not useless to follow the trend, and they have also summed up a lot of interesting things.
For example, the film is concentrated in a closed live broadcast hall with a limited area, but it tells and explores the big theme of the confrontation between the government and the people, which can be called a typical small stage and big pattern; for example, the movie actually tells a complete theme story in one space in one day, and the protagonist has only one Jin Zhongming, which is simply a classic classical drama return; and for example, the movie actually uses the performance form of a drama to describe the story of a television, which can be called a vivid and incisive discussion of the word "medium" in different levels.
But back to the audience, no matter how many such lofty comments are, it's just icing on the cake, and what really attracts them is because this movie has enough 'strength'.
When an audience member is attracted to the cinema and comes out, it can be said that the camera is a little shaky, it can be said that the CG is not as spectacular as imagined, or it can be said that the plot is too tight to understand, but except for a few people who deliberately stand out from the crowd, it is difficult for anyone to say that the movie "Horror Live" is not interesting.
Think about it, even if some people look confused, but when the protagonist resolutely presses the bomb button in the end, and then collapses and smashes into the National Assembly building with the KBS annex and the main building, which are exactly the same in reality, it will also be instantly shocked by the loud noise and break out in a cold sweat.
And in this cold sweat, the catharsis of 'Xingduan' advocated by Koreans has unconsciously achieved an effect beyond expectations.
So, as expected, "Horror Live" began to crush both word-of-mouth and box office in December. The so-called ...... There are almost no enemies, that's probably what it means.
And among them, the first but most helpless is Xue Jingqiu and Son Yezhen's "Skyscraper"!
is also a disaster film in a certain sense, and it is also a satire on the ugliness of the high-level society in a sudden state...... If there is no "Horror Live", it will inevitably be a double harvest at the word-of-mouth box office. However, the so-called fear of comparing people is afraid of comparing goods, when "Horror Live" was released at the same time, this disaster movie, which was also released in early December, and then had the same theme and connotation, the big-budget disaster movie directly began to dive!
This is inevitable that the box office will dive, and movies with the same theme and connotation will be the most lethal at the box office! However, what is even more sad is that this obviously good movie has even had a bad reputation that has been forced down by 30%, and the actors' evaluations are almost pitiful!
In fact, in this big production, in addition to Xue Jingqiu and Son Ye-jin's good performance, there are also powerful actors such as Kim Sang-kyung and Do Zhihan joining, but at this moment, they are all directly taken by the unscrupulous media to step up:
They said that Xue Jingqiu was not as good as Kim Jong-myeong's hair, because Kim Jong-myung's hair could act, and he could always change with the protagonist's emotions; and then Son Ye-jin was not as good as Lee Jin's eyes, because Lee Jin's gaze through the three layers of glass could simply burn the audience's heart; in the end, Kim Sang-kyung and Do Zhihan were not as good as a Li Jingrong's sneer......
Of course, in fact, everyone understands that this is not that "Skyscraper" is bad, but that the media is really unscrupulous! Otherwise, why did Kim Jong-ming mock them so recklessly in the movie? And the more they were ridiculed, the more bottomless they touted "Horror Live...... This kind of mentality is also really interesting.
But no matter what, Kim Jong Ming is still self-aware.
He knows very well in his heart that even if the word of mouth is against the sky, even if it is infinitely exalted because of the political whirlpool, this movie is only about 90 minutes. Moreover, because it was indeed taken out for broadcast on a temporary basis, the CG production in the later stage really did not meet the standard, and even because of the strategy, the film did not have time to invest in conventional publicity means.
In the end, to put it bluntly, this is a small production that purely relies on the plot to win.
And a small-scale movie that wins with a plot is destined to have too long a hot period, because once the plot content is widely disseminated, the movie will immediately lose its appeal to viewers.
So, after learning that the average daily box office of the movie was as high as 300,000 people, Jin Zhongming made a slight estimate and simply announced it directly:
Since the theme of the film is to explore the relationship between the government and the people, in order to make the film more realistic, "Horror Live" will be officially drawn one day before the start of voting in the general election at the end of December, in order to call on more people to pay attention to and participate in this election.
As soon as this remark came out, everyone from the Election Fair Commission to the three main candidates (and Shim Sang-hyo of the Justice Party, whose seemingly pointless persistence at this time later proved to be an excellent decision, of course, this is a later story), praised Kim Jong-myung's high sense of social responsibility! Especially the two who were on the cusp of the storm, and their sincere smiles, as if they were not the ones who were ridiculed by the people and the media for this movie two days ago.
But no matter what, this movie has its own predetermined destiny after all.
As Ahn Jong-fan said after the premiere before, after that loud bang, the actual value of this movie has been thoroughly reflected, and then what box office reputation has can only be said to be the icing on the cake.
"So, Jin Qichun is going to get out?" asked Li Xiuman in shock. "Just because of a movie?"
"It's because he has made too many enemies, and then suddenly he fell into a crisis of political credibility, so he was squeezed out. As he spoke, Jin Zhongming withdrew his gaze from the nine girls in the venue, and turned his head to explain to Li Xiuman a little. "On the contrary, my films take advantage of the feeling of his poor situation...... In short, nothing exists independently, and it can only be said that the two sides interact with each other. ”
"It's okay to go. Li Xiuman thought for a moment and nodded affirmatively. "This person is a typical old-fashioned diehard, and he has a wide range of qualifications, if he becomes an 'internal minister', our people will definitely have a harder time!"
"What's more?" Jin Zhongming of course sensed the implicit meaning in the other party's words.
"There are still a few days to go, and seeing the ups and downs of the polls, the Kewen adviser is basically hopeless. Li Xiuman replied a little dejectedly. "We're not you, we have the confidence to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai...... I guess from now on, I'm really going to be a man with my tail between my legs!"
"Who told you that S.M is a representative company in the industry?" Jin Zhongming sneered disapprovingly. "If it's really a small business, it's easy to do, let's join forces and buy back the equity of the national pension fund, you half and I ......."
Li Xiuman immediately sneered! What are you kidding? The second largest shareholder of the S.M Company is the state pension fund, or the government, and this is certainly a way for the government to control and influence the enterprise, but for a non-chaebol enterprise like them, it is also a kind of recognition and a talisman! If this shareholder is really thrown out and Jin Zhongming is allowed to intervene, then there will be no place for death!
In fact, Jin Zhongming's meaning is indeed very clear, it's okay if you don't want to be scared, don't be the boss of the industry, just be my little brother?
Of course, this is mostly a joke, and Li Xiuman will certainly not be scared to let go because of the failure in the background...... He didn't give up this foundation when he was thrown to the United States, let alone now?
"However, you are in full swing, you don't seem to be a man with your tail between your legs, right?" After the joke ended, Jin Zhongming smiled and smiled at the venue, it turned out that the two of them had been standing in a dance practice room and watching the dance practice for a short time.
"Quite the opposite. Li Xiuman put away his sneer and explained seriously. "This return is really careful...... In order to protect them, they did not dare to return during the election for fear of being used, nor did they dare to return after the lady came to power, for fear of being an eyesore. Therefore, the window period left for our company is actually from next week's voting results to next week's official inauguration in February next year. During this window period, our company not only has to arrange their return, but also let EXO take the opportunity to debut!
"It's much better than YG. Jin Zhongming said with a smile. "YG is full of opportunities now, and Yang Hyun-seok also promises fans every day that which group will return, but in fact, it has been delayed again and again. Unlike your predecessors, you will definitely be able to do what you say, and you will never break your word if you don't pack a ticket. ”
"I'd rather believe that Yang Hyun Suk was crippled by your fear. Li Xiuman sneered again. "Since that one this summer, he didn't dare to play with a good hand, and he was thinking all day about how to clear the account for you first, but you just didn't say that you didn't have time to pay the money first......"
"Or is he not in the right direction. Jin Zhongming hurriedly waved his hand. "How can you take care of this if you are a senior, maybe you will make money faster because of this!"
"What about your CUBE?" Li Xiuman suddenly asked again. "I'm just referring to the ballads, what's going on this year? In the first half of the year, it was like that, but in the second half of the year, it was like that? Hong Shengcheng ran out so well? Why did Cui Zhenhao get on the throne again?"
"Lao Hong is not in good health. Jin Zhongming sighed when he heard this. "There's nothing to hide from you, he will continue to be treated next, it's hard to say whether he can come back to work, anyway, for now, he doesn't mean to come back to take over until the middle of next year......"
"The body is such a thing. After hearing this, Li Xiuman was silent for a while. "For people of our age, sometimes it's more frustrating than character...... Anyway, he is not as good as he used to be now, he has money, and if he has money, he can live a good life, and he will recuperate for a while!"
Jin Zhongming didn't say anything, he didn't want to dwell too much on this topic, but suddenly stared at someone in the field with interest.
"What's going on?" Li Xiuman followed the other party's gaze in confusion, but didn't find anything wrong.
"Hats. Jin Zhongming casually pointed to the venue. "Senior, don't you keep saying that you want to be a man with your tail between your legs, why do you still let Sunny wear this kind of hat?"
Li Xiuman squinted his eyes and looked at the nine people in the field, and after a few seconds, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he directly shouted to stop the dance, and then there was a burst of chickens and dogs.
It turned out that sunny and Seo Hyun were each wearing a baseball cap from the Korean fashion brand VAGX, and the printed on it was simply naked swear words...... And this time, in the regular fourth album "I got a boy" when I was young, the style of the title song is really a bit strange, and the theme is the girls' chirping, and with their strange outfits, I am afraid it will be quite difficult to detect if you don't really observe it carefully.
The turmoil came and went quickly, and Li Xiuman, who claimed to be a man with his tail between his legs, immediately formulated a strategy - to use duct tape and stain dirty words, and the MV that had been produced must be re-censored and edited, and never give people a handle.
And after quickly resolving this incident, Li Xiuman finally didn't have the mood to talk about things at the scene full of music and dance:
"Come on Zhong Ming, let's go to the door, I have something to tell you. ”
Jin Zhongming calmly agreed.
