Chapter 241 looks even more hollow rhetoric
There are many ways to so-called praise, but in the final analysis, it is to be crowned with a kind of praise that is divorced from reality. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It is a fact that Kim Jong-ming contracted half of the Baeksang Art Awards, and it is also a fact that many people are willing to pinch their noses to accept it, after all, every award is not black when it is opened in vain.
But to be honest, quite a few people who eat melons and peers in the industry still instinctively think that he 'ate too much' this time. Even, there are many people in the industry who quickly took advantage of this award to be vigilant against him and huddle together because of the so-called position problem. All, from this point of view, Kim Jong-ming is still too far from the so-called unified Korean film circle.
However, when it is placed in the "JoongAng Daily", which is not very on the opposite side of Kim Jong-myung, it depicts a picture of the whole film industry being happy and convinced, and even after reading the article, readers can vaguely feel a feeling that all Korean filmmakers bow down to him. As for the slogan of Kim Jong-myung's ascension to the throne as the emperor of Korean cinema in the title, it is even more staggering...... So, this is not a killing, what is a killing? Even because it is too much, and then thinking of the control of the upstream and downstream of the industry that Jin Zhongming has just completed, this is a bit of a high-level black meaning.
In comparison, South Korea's largest newspaper, Chosun Ilbo, looks worried about the country and the people. The largest conservative newspaper first congratulated Kim Jong-myung on winning Best Actor and Best Director, and then admitted that "The Crucible" was a positive promotion of social justice in the film industry, and that it was understandable to win the award. However, in the second half of the editorial, the newspaper immediately did not shy away from expressing concern about Kim Jong-myung's attempt to monopolize film production and distribution, believing that sooner or later, Kim Jong-ming would rely on capital to exert negative pressure and influence on the vitality and independence of the industry, which in turn would lead to a regression of the entire film industry...... This is obviously a bit unfounded.
To be honest, it's really interesting to read the two newspapers' reports on the Baeksang Awards together, and if it weren't for the fact that they were rivals in the first place, Kim would have suspected that they were playing double reeds with one song and one harmony.
However, it is worth mentioning that the pro-American "Dong-A Daily", which Kim Zhongming disdains the most, is decent this time, and it is rare to be fair. In their relevant comments, they sincerely and directly pointed out the practical predicament faced by Kim Jong--although they have completed a certain monopoly of the Korean film industry in terms of capital, but in the face of the powerful 'scholars' in the film industry, it is still unknown whether the new 'chaebol' can win, and it is even very likely to fall into a long-term stalemate.
At that time, I am afraid that the contradiction between 'chaebol' and 'academic valve' will replace the previous confrontation between the government and the people, and become the main theme of the contradiction in Korean films.
In short, what "Dong-A Daily" means is that there is really no need to worry too much about Kim Jong-ming's strength in the future, because the contradiction has never disappeared, and at this time, we should return our eyes to the Baeksang Art Awards, and then talk about things, awards, in fact, are not black.
To say more, the reason why "Dong-A Daily" is so fair is not because they like Kim Jong-ming so much, but because they hate the 'academic valves' composed of directors, professors, and screenwriters in the film industry! Those leftist cultural people naturally go in the wrong way with the American masters of the newspaper. In comparison, Jin Zhongming, a big capitalist, looks much cuter!
In this way, because the traditional paper media still controls the dominance of public opinion after all, with the three major newspapers entering together, in one day, the discussion about the Baeksang Art Awards and Kim Jong Ming, as well as his completion of the industrial layout of the film industry, has intensified. On the Internet, in the instant news, experts and professors emerge in an endless stream, you are worried about this, I predict that...... In short, in the end, many people faintly connected into a line, and it seems that there is a tendency for Jin Zhongming to stand up and express what kind of attitude can he let go.
In this regard, Jin Zhongming's attitude is to ignore and completely ignore it. In fact, from the morning of the second day after Baeksang, the man who was praised as the emperor of Korean movies really didn't pay attention to any movie issues anymore.
"The original team did not move, the policy was as usual, and the plan was self-determined. This is the instruction that Kim Jong-myung sent to CJ Pictures, CGV Cinemas, Mega Cinemas, and even CUBE related film companies.
And then he plunged headlong into TVN, as if he was looking for something from here.
"The development prospects of cable TV are very good!"
On the evening of the 26th, in the conference room of the TVN television station in Sangamdong, Mapo District, after taking a turn in the TV station that had just belonged to him, Kim Jong-ming immediately called a meeting with the core level of the TV station.
Here's what he had to say:
"Today's young people are becoming more and more open to paid entertainment, so we should take advantage of this trend to brand TV stations......"
"Don't take too big a step, dare to think and dare to do!"
"Don't worry about funds, don't worry about talents, I can guarantee that our TVN is the best in the industry on these two issues!"
"Don't stare at the performance table, don't stare at last year's ratings or anything, didn't I say, branding......! In short, everyone instinctively thinks of high quality, high standards, and high ratings when they hear the three letters ......TVN."
"Then it will ...... Mr. Representative. TVN director Kim Seok-hyun listened nervously to the new boss's instructions, and finally spoke cautiously. "What exactly does branding mean to achieve? Is it based on rigid ratings to set a standard, or is it about establishing some kind of advantage over its biggest competitor, JTBC?"
"It's so unproductive. Jin Zhongming scolded the other party without thinking about it. "Why do you want JTBC to be a competitor? Don't think of that kind of TV station as a standard or goal, and of course don't be too ambitious, for example, we can set a small goal first...... Specifically, in the field of TV dramas and variety shows, we at TVN should ensure that we become an equal existence with cable TV within five years. Specifically, after the fair replacement of ratings, we will crush the cable TV station, and in the Baeksang Art Awards, we will step in, from three to four...... It's easy, right?"
The audience was silent, from the top to the middle level, even including the acquaintances of Jin Zhongming in the Variety Show Bureau, in short, everyone who came to the meeting today was all frightened by this simple goal. Although everyone knows that 1% of the ratings of cable TV stations are worth 10% of wireless TV, but since it is so compared, there must be a reason, right? Or conversely, it is because there is no comparison between the two, which is why there is this kind of algorithm.
TVB's coverage, advertising costs, production team, social influence, and investment scale...... Which is the one that cable TV can compare?
But immediately, all the middle-level and relevant personnel of the Variety Show Bureau looked at the old team of the previous TV station...... The big guy instinctively thought that this was Kim Jong-myung playing on the topic, and was ready to use this 'retreat' method to get rid of the high-level personnel who had a deep relationship with CJ.
Reasonable, nothing to say.
Not only other people think so, but even those high-level executives themselves actually think so, and the director Kim Seok-hyun is even more depressed to the extreme, in his opinion, the so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, looking at this posture, I am afraid that he still can't tolerate the other party, but I don't know why the other party puts down so many companies and things on the movie side and doesn't ask, but starts cleaning from TVN first?
It's only been two and a half days since the deal was made, okay? You're here...... Can't wait?
In short, thinking about it, the director has already put his mind on the resignation report after the meeting, in other words, although he asked himself whether he was reluctant to this position, but the matter has come to this point, if the other party is resolute, then he has to find another way. It's just that although I have a lot of acquaintances in CJ's advertising department, as a manager, how difficult is it to find a job that matches my status there?
Besides, CJ doesn't seem to be very safe there, right? My sister and cousin can turn against each other, so I guess it's really done.
"Chief Jintai...... Am I right?" At this moment, Jin Zhongming's voice suddenly interrupted the reverie of the director.
Kim Seok-hyun, who is in his fifties, looked confused, and then he was even more powerless, saying that he was distracted in front of the new boss without any doubt just now, so he didn't hear what the other party said, this kind of thing is a big taboo in a workplace relationship with a better atmosphere, not to mention the current situation...... It seems that this time, probably, probably, it is really going to get out.
"Let me ask you if our TVN nickname was 'Nineteen Banned TV Stations' or 'Evil TV Stations'?" Kim Jong Ming repeated his question. Or maybe both. ”
"It's all my lack of leadership. Kim Seok-hyun honestly stood up and bowed. "It's the TV station that has such a stigma...... As the Representative said, both nicknames were real...... It was probably from the beginning of the establishment of the station until 98, during that time, the TV station basically survived on 19 banned programs and horror programs, and its reputation was very bad. ”
"I didn't mean to question you. Unexpectedly, Jin Zhongming waved his hand casually and let the other party sit down. On the contrary, I understand this phenomenon and even approve of this way of being. After all, as one of the earliest cable TV stations, the competition is fierce, and it is actually a clean-up or even a practice that conforms to the laws of the market if it wants to ensure its dominance in a number of entertaining cable TV stations and engage in some eye-catching and exciting programs. ”
Kim Seok-hyun was slightly stunned, and was a little moved at first, after all, this kind of good boss who can understand the inside story is really rare. But immediately, years of working instinct made him immediately aware of something subtle...... That is, although the other party has only just won this TV station for two and a half days, he really doesn't seem to be smiling, because he knows the inside story of the TV station, and it is obvious that he has done his homework, and this serious attitude seems to lead to something else.
Moreover, TVN's achievements over the years are not just about the nineteen bans and ghost legends. Sure enough, Jin Zhongming began to take advantage of the situation to appease the old people on the TV station. "After the market share stabilized, I think it was from '08 that the TV station began to try to transform...... This is also correct, after all, you can't do that kind of show for a lifetime. And in my opinion, the transition was a success, because we still maintain a leading position in cable TV. But that's not enough...... Because at this time last year, new relevant laws were passed, cable TV stations began to be allowed to receive comprehensive photos, a large amount of money and talent poured into the industry, and the market was also broadened across the board, so we must further reform!"
"Representative" means ...... You want to reapply for a comprehensive editing license, and then we TVN will also add current political news programs?" someone asked cautiously. "Transition to a full-fledged big TV station like JTBC?"
"Quite the opposite. Jin Zhongming glanced at the crowd in the conference room. "We don't want that, we continue to keep it purely entertaining, so as to make sure that there is enough space for all projects, and I will provide enough funds as a further guarantee! The reason why I asked you to ignore JTBC is actually what it means, they have obviously invested a lot of energy in current political news, and then they are still greedy enough to engage in variety shows and TV dramas...... There are 24 hours a day, everyone is the same, and their funds are not as good as ours, their talents are not as good as ours, and their stalls are so big, so why do they think that they are qualified to compete with us who have a solid foothold? So there is no competition between the two, because they are not qualified to compare with us!"
"Definitely. Luo Yingshi also spoke out at the right time under Jin Zhongming's eyes. "Not only JTBC, but also the three major TV stations only seem unattainable, not unshakable. Their biggest problem is that they are bloated and conservative, and we have no chance of winning in an all-round confrontation compared to the big guys, but ...... If we first let our minds fly, create interesting and potential projects, and then give enough production space and financial guarantee to excellent projects, we may not be able to form a crushing variety show and TV drama brand ......"
Jin Zhongming and a group of old acquaintances from the Variety Show Bureau sang and harmonized, in short, they were promoting their strategy of 'catching up with the United States and superying the British'. However, this still does not dispel the concerns of most people, after all, the advantages of cable TV stations are too great.
"The representative's words are indeed very reasonable, and in the case of variety shows, we are actually very confident. Seeing that Kim Jong-myung didn't seem to have the intention of picking people up, Kim Seok-hyun finally tentatively picked up the conversation from the perspective of work. "After all, we have the strongest variety show team in South Korea, and Luo Yingshi PD's new project "Grandpa Over Flowers" is ...... because of previous acquisitions Well, some of the turmoil has been delayed for a while, but it can be set sail again at any time. Moreover, I think that all of you from TVN Variety Show will definitely burst out with more vitality because of your arrival. But ......"
"But the TV series is really powerless, right?" Jin Zhongming calmly picked up the conversation. "And if TV dramas are the most basic projects of a TV station, if they can't form an advantage, then how can they be on an equal footing with TVB?"
There was silence in the room again...... It's not that there is no idea at all, it's that no one dares to stand up in front of the new boss. What should I do if I am the boss of the gun, and if the words are big, they will be big, and everyone will definitely pretend that there is no such thing, and the people who come out will probably be pushed to the top.
"Didn't you have any relevant ideas before?" Jin Zhongming asked casually, without the slightest intention of letting go of this group of people. "Didn't you say that you want to let your mind fly and break the boat? If you have a good idea, just say it, just plan it before, tell me about it. ”
"Ahem!" Another acquaintance, Li Minghan, the former initial chief PD of "Two Days and One Night" and now the head of the production department of TVN, couldn't help coughing dryly, he knew that he had to come forward to build a bridge at this time. "There are some ideas, and our production department has planned some plans, such as ...... about celebrity nostalgia"
"Good. Kim Jong Ming quickly interrupted the other party's statement. "Sounds good, but in fact, it doesn't matter what the plan is, it's good to have it, bring it over...... I'll direct it myself, how?"
The pace became too fast, Li Minghan was a little confused, and his speech was inevitably a little straight: "Zhong Ming, you are so busy, so many industries have not yet been integrated...... Why bother?"
"yes. Although Li Minghan's voice became smaller and quieter, he couldn't help but see that someone took the initiative to refute, so another senior executive who seemed to be in the production department hurriedly followed suit. "You've been so busy lately, and the time and effort it takes the director of a TV series to pass a little ......"
Jin Zhongming was silent, as if he was moved, and except for a few people who were familiar with him, the others seemed to understand his true intentions - to put pressure on the TV drama department, rather than really wanting to be a TV drama director, so everyone quickly followed and dissuaded him.
For a while, the conference room was unexpectedly lively.
"One cannot forget one's heart. Seeing that more and more people were talking, Jin Zhongming suddenly spoke, abruptly and quickly, and his tone was terrifying. "I know what you're thinking, don't you just think that if I don't integrate the theater chain and the film production department, it's not my business to come here to find fault? That's what I mean? But what kind of bullshit movie emperor do you believe? Or do you think that my reflection at the Baeksang Art Awards last night was a performance? Let me repeat, I, Kim Jong-ming, am first and foremost an acting practitioner, and secondly an entrepreneur! I understand what I'm doing, and I don't need you to teach me!"
As he spoke, Jin Zhongming glanced around the conference room with a not very friendly gaze, and the room full of people, including acquaintances like Li Minghan and Luo Yingshi, who had actually shut up quickly just now, couldn't help but sit up at this time.
In the final analysis, Jin Zhongming at this time is no longer the person who stripped naked and jumped into the ice water in "Two Days and One Night" in "Two Days and One Night". Times are changing, and if they are close, they should also respect each other's current status and identity.
"Since you don't trust me, then I don't bother to reason with you. Jin Zhongming's tone rose a little impatiently. First, TVN is independent from MNET, and from today onwards, Director Kim Seok-hyun will be directly responsible to me!"
"Yes!" Kim Seok-hyun stood up with a spirit, never expecting that not only did his station manager survive, but TVN also took this step.
"Second, to clarify the rumors, we will not apply for a variety editing license to engage in news business, and tell everyone inside and outside the TV station that we are focused on entertainment, and the two fists are variety shows and TV dramas. ”
"Understood. Li Minghan and Luo Yingshi glanced at each other and quickly nodded.
"Third, Luo PD, your "Grandpa Over Flowers" can't be delayed any longer. Jin Zhongming directly called the name. "The previous acquisition of TVN did cause trouble, but now that the dust has settled, it is necessary to quickly get rid of this turmoil, and the rapid launch of a program is the best response and explanation, and it is also a good medicine to calm people's hearts...... I can use whoever I want, and I will never interfere, but I want to see the show start as soon as possible. ”
"Leave it to me. Luo Yingshi's heart moved slightly, he had been a partner with Jin Zhongming for many years, but he heard a little different meaning.
"Fourth, the TV series plan is brought over, and I will be the director, so it's decided, no longer discussed!" At this point, Jin Zhongming glanced at everyone in the room again. "Finally, let me tell everyone that from now on, from the first day I sat here, from the night of April 26th, TVN has crushed all TV stations in the direction of dramas and variety shows at the same time...... Including cable television stations! This is not a fantasy and an ideal, this is a fact! Tell all employees, all peers, and all media exactly what they say! Tell them that this is what Kim Jong-ming said, who is not convinced? Come to me!"
