Chapter 160: If there is a problem, it must be solved (medium)
The dinner, or the first half hour of the banquet, was very harmonious, just as the old crew members guessed, even if CJ and Kim Jong-myung were a little dirty because of the control of the crew, but in front of the whole crew, everyone was very wise not to show their teeth and claws. After all, in the final analysis, making money together is the primary purpose, and the so-called control is just a small problem in front of money.
Therefore, everyone was relieved, and the atmosphere of the banquet became more and more harmonious.
However, after half an hour of the banquet, that is, when the wine had passed the three rounds and the dishes had passed the five flavors, just when everyone thought that tonight was just a condolence dinner for Jin Zhongming's pure reception of the crew members, he unexpectedly started a conversation: "Director Yin, are you the producer, aren't you?
"No, that's right!" Yin Jijun was caught off guard and quickly stood up.
"Then I'll have to criticize you. Jin Zhongming put down his chopsticks and said lightly. "I heard that the crew has had a lot of problems recently, but you haven't solved them?"
"Me?" Yin Jijun was sweating profusely, he still couldn't figure out why Jin Zhongming wanted to cut him, and Li Zaibin was also a little flustered, no matter what, it seemed that Jin Zhongming came prepared, but he didn't know anything. And the most surprising thing was the actors and staff of the whole crew, the whole scene was cold in an instant, no one dared to eat and no one dared to drink, they all stared at the middle table quietly, ready to see how things were going to develop.
"As a producer, if there is a problem with the crew, it has to be solved, why are you dragging it out like this? You are my predecessor in the capacity of director, you won't be angry when I say this, right?" Jin Zhongming continued to ask, and his words were already very polite.
"I'm sorry!" Yin Jijun has been in the shopping mall and movie circle for many years after all. Anyway, he was also a character, so he immediately came to his senses and cleared his head. "There have indeed been a lot of problems with the crew in the past few days, and in any case, these are the responsibilities of me, the director and producer, and I will punish myself three times first!"
Li Zaibin immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and he must oppose what the so-called enemy approves, and he must agree with what the enemy opposes. Since Kim Jong-myung came up to be aggressive towards Yoon Ji-kyun, wouldn't it be commendable that Yoon Ji-gyun showed his excellent coping methods? Moreover, in the final analysis, he didn't want to really stand up to Kim Jong-myung, and the CJ family had a great cause, so could it be that Kim Jong-myung was easy to mess with? He didn't know some of Kim Jong-myung's situation. So at this time, if Yin Jijun copes with it himself, it will be the best result.
Not only Lee Jae-bin, but everyone in the audience had their own thoughts, plus quietly watched Yoon Jijun drink three glasses of wine by himself, and then waited for Yoon Jijun's lines.
"That's right, Mr. Kim Jong-ming. Yin Jijun put down his wine glass and didn't sit down, but continued to stand there and say, so that the whole crew could see him clearly. "You are an investor. I invested a lot of money into the crew, and I, as a director and producer, should indeed take responsibility to keep your money from problems, but the current problems of the crew are not caused by my slackness at all!"
There were already people around nodding, but Jin Zhongming was still leaning back in the chair, looking unhappy, sad, angry and unhappy, which made people unable to see his true attitude.
"I think everyone knows the specific problem, it's nothing more than those two. Yin Jijun looked at the people around him and continued to speak bitterly. "The first one is that our accommodation is so poor and a lot of the cast and crew are working hard. So much so that some people openly complained. ”
The audience turned their attention to Xue Jingqiu, and Xue Wan also lowered his head in embarrassment. It's one thing to let the assistant complain a few words, it's another thing to be watched by the audience in front of so many people, and what's even worse is that he Xue Jingqiu really doesn't care about this very much, but he has to wear this hat at the moment.
"But seriously, the problem does exist. Yin Jijun replied with a little embarrassment. "I know what Mr. Kim Jong Ming thinks, you probably think, 'I invested 10 billion in it.'" You've made the actors' accommodation rooms crawling with ants.'" I understand that. But Mr. Kim Jong-ming, our film is very special to shoot, although the CG reservation is there, but who knows how much it will cost to actually do it?"
A lot of people nodded their heads again, especially the technical and financial staff.
"So. The whole crew is trying to save money. Yin Jijun saw that some people supported him, and he explained more neatly in the future. "Who hasn't worked hard to support me since then? Even in order to save money, everyone in the technical team actually looks at the scene and draws the CG image by themselves, so that you can save a lot of original costs. And even many of the seepage scenes I filmed before were not using tap water, all of them were seawater pumped up from the sea by the way! Mr. Jin Zhongming, it really embarrassed me that something went wrong, but everyone is working very hard to save money, and I am really reluctant to spend money to rent a house for everyone in this hotel!"
"What do Xue Jingqiu's predecessors think? I heard that the room where the accident occurred is yours? It really makes you aggrieved. Jin Zhongming didn't pay attention to Yin Jijun, because the other party had already said everything he wanted, so he simply aimed at Xue Jingqiu, the core of the matter.
"I'll tell you about it!" Xue Jingqiu stood up in embarrassment. "It's really bothering you to have such a thing, but the actors must put the crew first, just a bunch of ants, and I'll go back and ask the assistant to start watering the room. You really don't need to worry about this anymore. ”
"That's embarrassing. Jin Zhongming frowned and continued. "You are the male number one of this movie, the soul of this movie, if you can't sleep well, the whole crew won't be able to sleep well. I've actually booked you a room here at Park Hyatt."
"What nonsense?!" a small scolding suddenly sounded, completely reversing what seemed to be going to be solved, because the nature was different. "He's a big name, and if there are ants in the room, he will be wronged, and then let his assistant shout everywhere in the crew to make people panic! What about me? Don't I also live in a small hotel by the sea? Why didn't I say anything?! Let him live in a five-star hotel? Yes! Let him come and live, and I will sleep in his room with ants!"
After saying this, this person actually made a gesture to leave, as if he was about to go back and moved to Xue Jingqiu's room.
"Senior!" Xue Jingqiu's head buzzed widely, and then he stopped directly on the way in front of everyone and bowed ninety degrees. There is no way, he never expected that Song Zaihao, an old-timer who has a good temper and has never been involved in these things, will suddenly stand up and go crazy, is it okay if he goes out and says that he Xue Jingqiu is a big name, and he goes to live in a five-star hotel to let his old-timer sleep in his old house, and he will be scolded by thousands of people in the name of Xue Wan, and it is difficult to say that he will even be ruined.
"I'll just ask you. After Song Jaehao was persuaded to come back by the people around him, he confronted Xue Jingqiu, who was still bowing. "Is your behavior called playing a big name?"
"Senior, I really didn't care about the room problem!" Xue Jingqiu hurriedly opened his mouth to explain, he really didn't dare to play the name of a big name. "I know the assistant said a few things that shouldn't be said, but I really didn't care, I meant that she was fine, just a few words, if you can change the house, it doesn't matter if you can't. I'm all about movies. ”
"But that's not what others think?" Song Jae-ho replied coldly, and then he pointed to Kim Jong-ming, who was also bowing to him and apologizing. "Jin Zhongming, why do you have to change the hotel for others as soon as you hear Xue Jingqiu's assistant complain twice? Didn't you just come on the first day?"
"Seniors. Jin Zhongming straightened up and explained. "I can't help but think about this matter, when I first came to the crew, the whole crew was talking about this matter, I don't know how serious it is! What's more, as I just said, Xue Jingqiu's predecessor is the representative of this crew after all, and his every move will have a great impact on the crew, I really thought that his assistant came out to speak and meant Xue."
"Please don't say any more. Xue Jingqiu took a deep breath, and then interrupted Jin Zhongming's words. "I didn't think about it before, and I caused inconvenience to the whole crew, director Yoon Jijun, Mr. Kim Jong-myung, and Song Jae-ho. Please believe in my personality, and please don't break the bank with Mr. Kim Jong-myung, and similarly, please accept my apologies from Song Jae-ho's predecessors and director. I promise I'll stay in that room and devote myself to the movie. As for the assistant, I will let her go tonight, and I will not let her appear on any set in the future, and I hope that all my colleagues in the film will testify for me. ”
"That's fine!" Li Zaibin quickly stood up and played a round. "Senior Song Zaihao, please be sure to dissipate your anger, Mr. Xue Jingqiu, don't worry too much, in short, this matter is over. Come on, come on"
However, although the scene stopped, Lee Jae-bin and Yoon Ji-jun seemed to be particularly panicked, others didn't know, but these two people knew very well that Song Jae-ho was put in as an investor by Kim Jong-ming that day, and not long after "I Love You" ended, who will watch this double reed? Thinking of this, the two of them looked at Xue Jingqiu again, don't say anything else, but the dedication once you enter the set is rare, so it seems that Jin Zhongming really doesn't need to worry about him being mischievous in this play, uh, he doesn't have to worry about it.
In fact, not only these two people, but also many people on the scene who understand, all of them feel a little different when they look at Jin Zhongming, at least they can easily hold the sore feet of Xue Wan, who seems to be the biggest and most incompatible person in the crew, and force him to lower his head, which Yin Jijun has not been able to do.
"Well, if there is a problem, it has to be solved, since Xue Jingqiu's predecessors and Song Jaehao's predecessors are so generous, this matter is over!" Sure enough, Jin Zhongming spoke again. "However, Director Yoon Jijun, you just said that there seems to be a big problem, don't you, why don't we continue to talk?" )
