Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Shipbreaker

When public opinion was still paying attention to Kwon Boa's relationship, the news that Jung Sung-hyun was going to make a movie attracted the attention of many media. According to director Lee Jun-ik, this is the script and investment that Jung Sung-hyun is responsible for, and it is a historical theme.

Earlier, when he was fighting with Kim Yoon-seok, someone suggested that Jung Sung-hyun could not write works that were in line with Korean culture, and the people once believed this statement, after all, his music and novels are in a European and American atmosphere, and now this slap is not resounding.

At the end of October, Jung Sung-hyun and Lee Jun-ik held a press conference, which was the second time he had faced so many reporters, and unlike the last time, this time it was for himself, and the tension was greater.

Jung Sung-hyun, who prides himself on not being good at dealing with the media, entrusted this important task to director Lee Jun-ik, and listened most of the time, only speaking briefly when asked about himself.

It's not all because of nervousness, it's just that as soon as he opened his mouth, the reporter was more concerned about his relationship with Quan Bao'er, which was contrary to the original intention of the press conference, so he would rather not say that he would go around with Li Junyi.

"Jung Sung-hyun, what prompted you to write this script this time? Or what is your original intention? We all know that your works are more European and American, is there any reason for suddenly coming up with such works this time!? "After being bored for a long time, a reporter finally got down to business.

Zheng Chengxian perked up and replied, "First of all, I want to explain, it's not that I only create European and American works, but it just so happens that these are the works that I am known for, like this "The King's Man", most of the music in "The King's Man" was composed by me, including the theme song! “

"Secondly, I finished this script a long time ago, and I only came out today, so please don't misunderstand the rumors. In the future, there will be more music works suitable for our Korean local to meet you, as for the novel, because of my agreement with the UK, the focus in the next few years will still be on the follow-up works of "Harry Potter". “

These words made the reporters stir a little, and today's clarification is suspected of the previous remarks of Kim Yoon-seok and others, and another reporter stood up,

"Jung Sung-hyun, is your remark in response to the previous arguments that people questioned that you can't create Korean works?"

"Not really, after all, it's impossible to explain everyone who denies me. Let's stop at this topic, it has nothing to do with today! After Zheng Chengxian finished speaking, he let go of the microphone and leaned lazily back in his chair.

"Today's press conference is for the movie "The King's Man", and please ask some questions about the movie, otherwise this press conference will be endless!" Li Junyi took the conversation and said with a chuckle.

The soft attitude made the reporter feel good, and he raised some common questions about the movie, Jin Xiulu mentioned dredging up the reporter before, and was opposed by Zheng Chengxian, and now it seems that he is worthy of being a figure in the entertainment industry for a long time, and he knows the stakes and harms.

"May I ask Director Lee Jun-ik, Writer Zheng once said wildly that he wanted to write a screenplay against Kim Won-jin, and the script written by such a mindful author, would you be worried about affecting your reputation?" Just when the atmosphere was harmonious, a reporter with eyes stood up and attacked directly.

Li Junyi was very embarrassed, glanced at Zheng Chengxian, who was pale, and cleared his throat and said, "I didn't know anything about Writer Zheng and screenwriter Kim Wonjin before, but even if I understand, it won't affect my participation in this shooting, I trust Zheng Sung-hyun as a writer and believe in my own vision!" “

These words are already the biggest response that Li Junyi can make, and this kind of question itself cannot be answered.

Zheng Chengxian grabbed the microphone and spoke with a cold face, "This reporter, I feel sorry for you for saying these remarks on an occasion like today, I have a personal grudge with Kim Won-jin and has nothing to do with this time, what you said made Director Lee Jun-ik who stayed out of the matter embarrassed, and also wasted the time of other reporters!" “

The other people around looked at the reporter who asked the question before with the eyes of a fool, which made him a little unable to get off the stage, and he was annoyed and angry.

"Your previous remarks caused a lot of damage to Kim Won-jin, and now he has just received a job as a screenwriter for the film, and you happen to release the news of a new movie, which has to make everyone suspect that you are targeting him!"

Zheng Chengxian leaned forward and leaned on the table angrily, suppressed his anger and said to the reporter with a provocative face:

"This gentleman, it seems that you are a friend of Jin Yuanzhen, and you are very considerate of him! kept saying that I hurt him, but didn't say a word about his previous nonsense, you are really fair! “

Ignoring the embarrassed reporter continued,

"If it weren't for your reminder, I really didn't know that he took over the job of a screenwriter for the film, could it be that because he was a screenwriter, I wouldn't be able to write the script? Otherwise it's against him? In that case, I would like to say a word to your face! Speaking of this, Zheng Chengxian paused

"No matter what script he writes, it's not worth mentioning in front of me! With director Lee Jun-ik cooperating with me, we will abuse the movies he participated in to scum! ”

After a brief silence in the hall after saying this, it exploded with a bang. Originally, I was just exploring Kwon Bao'er's love affair and paying attention to the new movie by the way, but I didn't expect such a hot news to appear. The enthusiasm of the reporters was ignited, and arms sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Li Junyi couldn't help but hold his forehead and lament after Zheng Chengxian finished speaking, he didn't expect Zheng Chengxian to say such wild words at the press conference, and regretted in his heart why he didn't find him so impulsive before!!

"May I ask Writer Zheng, are you serious about what you just said?" A reporter who was called stood up and asked excitedly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Chengxian also regretted it a little, not for anything else, but he was annoyed that he was impulsive again, but he had already broken off and did not take back the truth.

"Of course it's serious, I said you don't want to be joking! Maybe some people will think that I am talking wildly, then let's see the real chapter at the box office! "Jung Sung-hyun has full confidence in the movie.

"The King's Man" had an investment of less than 10 billion in its previous life, a direct income of 84 billion, breaking several records, and even the president led the crowd to watch, these honors are not something that can be done by talking.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the venue was getting warmer and warmer, Li Junyi stretched out his hand to signal everyone to calm down.

"Listen to me, I have read Writer Zheng's script, which can be said to be an absolutely excellent work, and I am confident that I can shoot it well! As for the box office, I believe everyone knows that there are too many uncontrollable factors in this, and we will do our best to do our best, and the final decision will be handed over to the audience! “

"Director Lee Jun-ik, is it convenient to reveal the content of the movie!?" God, it's been almost 2 hours since the press conference was held, and someone finally asked about the topic of the movie.

After Zheng Chengxian said those words, he stopped speaking, and sat next to him to make the set with peace of mind.

Even so, the reporter shouted that the trip was worthwhile, and the second half of the press conference was in a warm atmosphere, and no one paid attention to when the reporter who had provoked him left before.

"Hello Young Master Park, I'm Park Chengshun, I've done it according to your instructions, the effect is even better than you expected, tomorrow you will understand when you read the newspaper, and it is not clear on the phone!" As soon as the provocative reporter came out of the venue, he hid in a remote corner and pulled out his phone.

"Well, I know, thank you for your hard work! Thanks to you this time, I will be rewarded separately another day! A young man's voice rang on the phone, polite but not distant.

"Don't dare, it's my honor to serve Young Master Park!" Park Sung-soon replied respectfully, although he couldn't help bending down through the phone.

"Then let's do it first, I'll call you later, I hope we will continue to cooperate in the future!" The man was too lazy to continue to be polite, and hung up the phone straightforwardly.

Park Sung-soon put away the phone and couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, just a few simple questions and easily received a large amount of honorarium, he really didn't know whether to hate Jung Sung-hyun and embarrass himself, or thank Jung Sung-hyun for giving him the opportunity to make money.

"What if you are a writer, you will be unlucky if you offend someone you can't afford to provoke!" Park Sung-soon thought secretly in his heart......

On the same day, Zheng Chengxian's remarks appeared on the headlines of major websites, and it was rare for reporters not to add oil and vinegar to attract attention, and the ability of the incident was enough to attract attention.

The stars in the entertainment industry secretly hated Zheng Chengxian for stealing the limelight again, and the major entertainment companies tried to give their artists a blog page, and Zheng Chengxian occupied the headlines every time he understated, and this crazy headline grabbing behavior was unanimously despised in the circle, and Zheng Chengxian's title of "Headline Jun" slowly became popular.

"Chengxian, what you said that day was too much, do you know how I spent the past few days? Countless colleagues in the circle called me, caring, persuasive, and more sneering! Why are you so impulsive, we're roasted on the stove now! Li Junyi, who was sitting in the main seat of the interviewer, complained with a wry smile, and the assistant director next to him, who was pulled by the strong man, nodded with deep feelings.

After the press conference, Li Junyi began to prepare for this audition audition, not only to deal with the ridicule of his peers, but also to be busy, which made him miserable.

Unexpectedly, after several days of media hype, the movie "The King's Man" has received enough attention before filming has started. Listening to the report of the outside staff, the people who came to the interview on the first day can be described as crowded.

Zheng Chengxian has also been sad these days, greetings from friends, Quan Baolan's worries, Quan Bao'er's heartless support, Lin Lin has all kinds of troubles for him, he is never afraid of the enemy's attack, but the concern of his friends makes him even more confused.

"I'm not the same, people call me every day, all kinds of concerns and all kinds of greetings, and now I start to wonder if I'm doing something wrong!" Jung Sung-hyun responded to Lee Jun-yi's words in distress.

"I'm under so much pressure now, I'm afraid that if the box office is not good, you and I will be embarrassed!" Li Junyi said worriedly.

"What is there to be afraid of, if you want to be ashamed, I am ashamed! Is there pressure to be motivated? Although Jung Sung-hyun regretted his impulsiveness, he couldn't let others know.

If the leader starts to be at a loss, then the people below will be even more flustered!

"That's how we have to be more energetic, you need a work to prove yourself, and I need it too! Let's join forces to teach those who underestimate us a lesson! Zheng Chengxian cheered up and encouraged Li Junyi, and to be honest, young people encouraged middle-aged people, how strange this scene looked.

"Well, let's do it! I've been waiting too long for this moment! Li Junyi nodded heavily, completely unaware of how inconsistent this meeting was.

"Then let's get started!" Jung Sung-hyun sat up straight and motioned for the staff to start.

The rhetoric has been released, and there is no way to retreat, so you can only break the kettle and let it go.
