"Chairman Kim, your Film Promotion Committee is responsible for publicizing the new policies of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and accepting their applications to filmmakers and film production clubs, and President Li, your National Theatre is also responsible for publicizing the new policies of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and accepting their applications to major drama performance organizations, do you know?"

"Yes, we will immediately organize a working group to take care of this matter after we go back."

Kim Jong Kook and Lee Jung Woo stood up and said.

"Chairman Kim, are there any movies that are being filmed or preparing to be released recently?"

"I'm sorry, Minister Minister, please wait a moment, I'll have someone send me a list."

Kim Jong Kook called his subordinates, and a few minutes later his subordinates sent the list of films that each film production club had declared to the Film Promotion Committee this year, and Zheng Yun was typing out the list and handing it to Guo Dahai to browse.

There are more than 100 films on the list, including short films, anime films, documentaries, and 19 banned films in addition to normal feature films.

Among them, Guo Dahai is more familiar with the movies in his previous life: "Iron Rain", "Crime City", "The King", "Taxi Driver" and "I Can Say".

Among the above five films, Guo Dahai was most impressed by "Iron Rain" and "Crime City", in addition to "Iron Rain" and "Crime City", he drew a small circle behind the name of "I Can Say" with a pen and said: "The name of this movie is quite special, what story does it mainly tell?" ”

"Your Excellency, this movie is based on real events, mainly to tell the story of our country."

"An, this is indeed a very angry thing, I think the subject matter of this movie is very good, I have a hunch that it can become the box office champion of our country this year, our country needs a movie similar to "Can I Say", most of the movies in the current film market are full of violence and blood, otherwise what is it to expose the darkest side between politicians and chaebols, are our politicians in the Republic of Korea really so unbearable?"

"It's not."

Kim Jong Kook and Lee Jung Woo replied with a dry smile.

"I think we should make more movies and TV series related to history, arouse the patriotism of young people in our country, so that they will not forget the humiliation of their ancestors, do you think I am right?"

"Yes, of course, Your Minister's idea is very right, and if all of us can have such an idea as Your Minister, then our Republic of Korea will never be bullied by other countries at will again and cause a tragedy."

Understood Guo Dahai's thoughts, Park Mingzhen was the first to pat himself on the back.

"Very good, I really can't wait to watch the movie "I Can Say", Chairman Kim, when will the movie be released?"

"Previously, when they declared, they expected the filming time to be in March this year, and the release time was in September this year, but I heard that due to the lack of funds of investors and the blacklist of the art and cultural circles, the film has not been officially put into filming until now."

"That's it, I know" Guo Dahai looked at Park Mingzhen, the two glanced at each other, he retracted his gaze and said, "The work of the Film Promotion Committee is to make excellent movie scripts like "I Can Say" be filmed normally, what kind of blacklist in the art and cultural circles, those are all caused by those people before, and I don't have any list here, you know?" ”

"Yes, Minister, I will think of more ways for the crew of "I Can Say" in the future, and strive to get them to devote themselves to filming as soon as possible."

"Okay, since that's the case, you don't have to come again tomorrow, remember what I said, whether it's a red list or a black list, it won't exist in our Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and you have to convey what I said to the staff below you after you come down, and you can't restrict other people's work or careers because of any list, you know?"

"Yes, you are taking your words to heart, Your Excellency."

"If there are no other problems, just dismiss."

"Yes, goodbye, Minister."

Back in the office, Guo Dahai locked the door, and he took out his mobile phone to dial Xu Minzhen's phone number.

"Hey, Min-jeong."

"Yes, Sir."

The other party's tone sounded very cold, Guo Dahai paused and said, "I discussed with Min Zhen Xi last night, and now there is a chance to see if Min Zhen Xi is willing or not." ”

"What is the chance?"

"Min Jung xi, you go to director Kim Hyun Seok, he is preparing to shoot a movie called "I Can Say", I have read the plot introduction of the movie script, I think that content is very good, now director Kim Hyun Seok is not enough funds, Min Jung Xi you can invest in his movie."

"Sir Guo, do you still know movies?"

"I understand a little bit, this is a very good opportunity, I hope Minzhen Xi you don't miss it."

】

"Yes, I'll send someone to contact director Kim Hyun-seok later, but how much support money can the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism get for this film?"

"The subject matter of this film is very much in line with our policy, so I will support it at a maximum of 40% of the support fund."

"Yes, I understand, thank you, Chief Guo."

"It's nothing, goodbye Minzhenxi."

"Goodbye."

JB District, Seoul

Returning to Seoul at around 7 p.m., Kwak Dae had dinner with Ki Dongmin, Park Yong-jin, Kang Byung-won, Kim Hae-young and others from the National Assembly at the Hanwoo Barbecue Farm Restaurant, an old place in the Cow's Ear Cave in JB-gu.

"Congratulations, Sir."

At this time, the change of identity, Park Yongzhen and others also had to say honorifics to Guo Dahai.

"Eh, why should we talk to each other like this?"

"Chief Guo, how did you feel after you arrived at the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism?"

Qi Dongmin knew Guo Dahai's character, and he still spoke plain language with the other party.

"That's it, I don't have any personal time except for sleep every day."

"It's no better in the cabinet than in the Congress, even if Chief Guo wants to be lazy, those people below you won't allow it."

Seeing this, Jin Haiying also continued to speak plain with Guo Dahai.

"yes."

"Come, let's all give our Chief Guo a drink."

After the food was served, Park Yongzhen raised his wine glass and said.

"Cheers."

"Cheers."

After a glass of wine, Guo Dahai felt a chill in his stomach.

"Chief Guo, I heard that the budget funds for the holding of art festivals in various places are all applied for from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, right?"

Kim Hae-young asked with a smile.

"That's right, the art festivals that are bid for in various places are under the management of the Planning and Adjustment Office of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the affiliated National Culture and Arts Commission."

"What about the Busan Film Festival this October?"

"The Busan Film Festival is managed by the Film Promotion Committee."

"That's right......"

Kim Hae-young looked like she wanted to speak and stopped.

"Councilor Kim, all of you here today are your own people, so you can say anything you want."

Guo Dahai guessed Jin Haiying's thoughts, and he said so deliberately.

"Well, I have a very good friend who runs an event planning club in Busan, so you can see if you can get him involved in this year's Busan Film Festival and take care of a small part of it?"

"I'll go down and ask the people of the Film Promotion Committee, and then I'll give you an answer to Congressman Kim."

"Thank you."

"Nothing, let's have another drink."

After the second cup, Park Yongjin took the opportunity of Guo Dae's promise to Kim Hae-young, and he said to him: "Chief Guo, I have a nephew named Park Jun-so, he is now working in the Tourism Resources Development Headquarters of the Korea Tourism Corporation, and he has been there for almost six or seven years, and when our family gathered together some time ago, he said that the position of the head of the Tourism Integrated Operation and Management Department under their headquarters was vacant, so you can see if you can ...... it."

"I know, I'll take this to heart, Park Jun-so, right?"

"Yes, thank you, Chief Guo."

"Nothing, let's have a toast."

Guo Dahai agreed to their requests, and everyone drank up.

Guo Dahai and Qi Dongmin glanced at each other, and the other party said understandingly: "Sir Guo, you have helped us so much, and we will definitely support you in the future in the Congress, everyone said yes, right?" ”

"That's right, Chief Guo, if you need anything in the future, just say it."

Only the existence of common interests can bind everyone tighter, and not everyone is like the friendship between Qi Dongmin and Guo Dahai.

After eating and drinking, when they parted, Guo Dae found Kim Hae-young and said, "Councilor Kim, have you been in contact with President Kim Dong-won recently?" ”

"I haven't had any contact with President Kim since the last incident, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I mean, it's better not to happen to you like that before, we are politicians, we have to unite to fight against chaebol families like Kim Dong-won and them, do you understand what I mean?"

"Of course, I understand what you mean, Chief Guo, please rest assured."

"That's good, goodbye Councillor Kim."

"Sir Guo, be careful on the road."

After the party in Seoul ended, Choi In-geng drove Kwak Dae back to Sejong Special Self-Governing City.

"Ren Gengxi."

In the car, Guo Dahai, who had drunk a little too much today, suddenly wanted to chat with Cui Rengeng.

"Yes."

"You're 23 years old, aren't you?"

"Yes."

"Didn't you think about working for SK Group?"

"I don't have this plan for the time being, and I, Ernie, only came to work at SK Biopharma, a subsidiary of SK Group, this month."

"It's hard to drive me, isn't it?"

"Not really."

After a few minutes, Cui Rengeng said, "Sir, can I ask you a question?" ”

"Ren Gengxi, I seem to have said that you can be casual in private."

"I ...... What should I call you? ”

"You can call me brother like Shuhao, or if you think I'm old enough, you can call me uncle."

After some mental struggle, Cui Rengeng opened his mouth and said, "Brother, can I ask you a question?" ”

"Of course, Ren Geng, you ask."

"Brother, why aren't you getting married yet?"

Hearing Cui Rengeng's question, Guo Dahai smiled and said, "Who asked you to ask me?" ”

is going to have dinner with Lu Suying on the weekend, Guo Dahai guessed that she asked Cui Rengeng to test his tone.

"No, I'm just curious, if it were someone else, I would definitely marry Gu Yanxiu unconditionally, not to mention that Gu Yanxiu likes you so much."

"Ren Geng, let me ask you first, what kind of woman do you want to marry?"

"I haven't thought about getting married for the time being, and ......" Cui Rengeng laughed as he said it, "Brother, do you think I will be short of women?" ”

"Of course you won't."

"So, brother, I'm different from you, I want a woman if it's just a phone call, and you don't dare to be like me, right?"

"That's right."

"So brother, why don't you get married?"

"I didn't know, at first I thought I could marry Yeon-so, but then I found out that I ......"

Speaking of the back, Guo Dahai just smiled.

"So what kind of woman do you like, brother?"

Cui Rengeng understood what he meant, and he continued to ask.

"I don't know."

"Wouldn't it? Brother, haven't you met a woman who makes your heart flutter for so many years? ”

"Of course there is, isn't that what Yeonsu used to be."

"Then brother, you still broke up with Yeon Xiuxi?"

"Ren Geng, I heard a professor say something about love before, do you want to hear it?"

Guo Dahai drank a lot of wine today, and his words became more.

"Yes."

"He said something like this: 'Everyone wants to find a person they love, but after finding it, you will find that you love her today, you may not love her tomorrow, because people will change, if love is just a feeling, then when it encounters challenges, this feeling will be quickly eliminated, because we are easy to get this feeling in different people, so the most common statement of empathy is that I don't feel it anymore, but real love is not a feeling, it is more of a responsibility, It is a kind of mutual sacrifice and mutual achievement, and true love must not be momentarily moved, but must be a permanent commitment'. ”

Guo Dahai's long remarks made Cui Rengeng a little stunned, he was reflecting on what the other party said, and after a long time, he said: "That, brother, what you said doesn't seem to apply to us." ”

"No, it doesn't apply to you, do you know what commitment means?"

"I don't know."

"Commitment means that she can wronged herself for you, and if you meet such a woman one day, you can think about marrying her."

"Yes, I remember, but the implication of your words is that Yeon-so is not the kind of person who can commit to herself, right?"

"Sort of."

"Also, I'll give you another piece of advice."

"Yes."

"Ren Geng, who you decide to associate with in the future, including determining who to be your friend, you must not only look at the other party's appearance, social status, education level and economic income."

"So what should I look at?"
