Chapter 285 Movies Need More Than Scripts (Part 2) (10,000 2 in 1)(1/2)
"Minister Cho, do you know that until last night, I had nothing in this movie." Kim Jong-ming, who was sitting in the host's seat, was dressed in formal attire, and the pair of black-framed glasses on her face, really had the smell of a news host. "However, with the assistance of Kim Young-soo, we created a movie script that was exciting all night, and I am really proud of this."
"This shows that Mr. Kim Jong-ming and Kim Young-soo representing him are extremely talented." Cao Daxian, who was sitting diagonally opposite the table, replied seriously with a stern face.
At this time, Kim Young-soo, who was leaning against the window, twisted his body uneasyly. To be honest, he would rather not be so talented.
"Maybe." Kim Jong-ming didn't mean to get entangled on this issue. "Then you should also know that movies need more than scripts."
“This is nature.”
"Yes." Jin Zhongming took a breath without expression, then looked up at the ceiling above his head. "You are the director of the TV station and have worked on more than a dozen TV series every year, so naturally you know these things clearly..."
Cao Daxian couldn't help but sigh.
"We won't say much about things like investment and producers. After all, KBSBei won't be a bit short of this." Kim Jong-ming ignored the change in the other party's emotions and continued to speak on his own. "So, for us, after we really got a good script, the first thing we should do is to find a director who can fully understand the script... For example, the director of our movie was decided yesterday, that is, the representative Kim Young-soo who participated in the script production throughout the process!"
"Then I have to congratulate Kim Young-soo on his behalf." Cao Daxian expressed his congratulations in surprise but without losing his composure.
"The position of director is very heavy for movies. I don't know how many good scripts are on the director's candidates, but on the other hand, if a movie can have a good director or a suitable director, then there will be basically no big problem with this movie." At this point, Kim Jong-ming stopped and thought for a while. "To be honest, the movie I have received a lot of favors from several directors. If I have to point out the most touching director, it is director Bong Joon-ho! To be honest, although the movie "Mother" he worked with was not the protagonist, it really made me feel like I was exhausted... I took the opportunity to think about my life and benefited a lot during that period of time, based on that feeling, and I really took the opportunity to think about my life and benefited a lot!"
"The ability and level of director Bong Joon-ho are unquestionable." Although he didn't understand why the other party was talking to him, Cao Daxian still listened and responded politely.
"Yes." Kim Jong-ming nodded begging. "Let's go on to say that the director has found it, and the next place is the venue and equipment. Of course, this venue and equipment specifically points out the kind that a film and television production company is routinely reserved... It's like shooting "Titanic" requires a special boat. You have to rent a school at least when you shoot a campus drama. In order to shoot this drama, I just finished writing the script outline and called you Director Li, expressing that I hope to rent a studio in your KBS..."
"It's totally understandable." Cao Daxian was already a little suspicious, but it still didn't show up. "Please rest assured, I promise to give the crew the greatest care during the filming..."
"Not that." Kim Jong-ming seemed to be ready to continue to remember the bitterness and sweetness. "What I think now is the biggest crisis I encountered in this regard... At that time, it was filming "The Furnace". In a deaf school in Gwangju, the crew was almost hostile to the whole city. In the end, the set was burned, and the fire was soaring into the sky. First, it snowed black, and then the heavy snow really came. Mayor Yin Zhuangxian and the bishop of the Gwangju Catholic Church also came. Finally, Ms. Ao Mia and Chairman Kim Mo-sung actually came... "
Cao Daxian no longer dared to take the lead.
"A good script has investors, producers, directors, venues, equipment... Then in the future, we should find some good actors." Kim Jong-ming continued to talk about his movie common sense lesson seriously, regardless of the anxiety that the person on the other side had gradually revealed. "I have acted in so many movies, and Minister Cao knows which one I am most proud of from the actor's perspective?"
"Mr. Jin Zhongming has too many excellent works, I really don't know." Cao Daxian shook his head quickly.
"Although there are quite a lot of works, but when it comes to the actor's duty, there are only those two good works." Kim Jong-ming laughed like a self-deprecatingly. "And among them, the one I am most proud of is "Uncle"..."
"So that's it." Cao Daxian nodded perfunctorily.
"The filming was very interesting. At the beginning, I felt like I was controlling it. It was raining heavily and it was slippery. But I jumped at the height of the five floors and didn't think about using a substitute. But when I finished filming, I forgot about ‘self’ and kept talking all night. In order to expand my pupils, I dripped eye drops regardless of the consequences, so that I later entered a state of out of focus... After the filming of that scene, I told the director that I did my best to do this movie, and your script was not worthy of my performance!"
"This matter has indeed been mentioned." Cao Daxian became more and more uneasy. He felt that perfunctory would not work and began to try to actively intervene in the conversation. "That time everyone said that Mr. Jin Zhongming was a person who could be tough on himself and would definitely become a great person in the future... But later it turned out that we still had a low vision. You have not only become a great person in the past two years?"
"The evaluation of ruthlessness is very consistent with the values of Koreans." Kim Jong-ming nodded thoughtfully. "But it should be 'hate'! The commander of Kim Dae-jung once had an extremely insightful evaluation of the Korean people's character, saying that the 'hate' culture and 'happy-end' culture run through the entire Korean society, so Koreans will act violently and impulsively. On the one hand, they can lose all their thoughts when they say they are lost. They jump into the river when they say they are successful. They are prone to self-intoxication, and they expand when they say they are expanding... I grew up abroad. At the beginning, it was difficult to understand the Korean thinking pattern, but gradually I also had some experience, even understanding and recognition. President Kim Dae-jung was indeed very skilled. He vigorously promoted the Korean wave industry based on 'happy', and I am afraid that he also saw the mentality of Koreans."
"In fact, South Korea's cultural industry itself is also very influenced by this culture." Cao Daxian took the opportunity to interrupt. "Especially Korean movies, the ruthlessness in Korean movies has always been too much, not missing. Even... the examples that Mr. Kim Jong-ming mentioned before have largely had such an indescribable spirit of "hate" or "enjoyment" that restricts it!"
"That's right." Kim Jong-ming nodded repeatedly. "I was deeply impressed by director Bong Joon-ho because he completely exposed my rationality and grace; the Gwangju fire was the consequence of the complete fervent conflict between the two sides; the uncle used myself to the extreme... However, although it was very painful at the time, you would show up when things were over. This excessive and rational spirit can actually make people unable to stop. In fact, in this state, people can always achieve the ultimate, thereby expressing some things that are difficult to express on weekdays!"
"Is this the same thing this time?" Cao Daxian suddenly had a glimmer of enlightenment.
"Do you know why I wear glasses?" Kim Jong-ming suddenly took off his black-framed glasses, and then he showed blood in his eyes. "I started writing the script last night. I completed the outline at around 9 o'clock, but I didn't rest after that. Instead, I quickly rushed and whipped it all night and completed the general script around four o'clock in the morning... Because I didn't finish writing it, I always felt a little uncomfortable."
"It's understandable." After a little lost, Cao Daxian quickly expressed his opinion.
"But it's not enough." Kim Jong-ming put on his glasses again and looked around at the studio in front of him. "As for people, whether they have entered the so-called "exhaustion" state, they might as well just say that they are stubborn. If they can't watch things be handled one by one, they will always feel disgusted... This is how, Minister Cao!"
"yes!"
"I'm going to blow up the KBS building in the movie!"
"Please don't joke." Cao Daxian immediately retorted with a solemn expression.
"And I want to get the official authorization of KBS to allow me to use the real KBS building exterior in the movie!"
"If, I mean, if it's just a crime movie and KBS is a simple victim, I can't tell the Master about this issue..." Faced with Kim Jong-ming's aggressiveness, Cao Daxian suddenly softened again. I don't know if Kim Jong-ming's previous preparations really played a role.
"Also, I am planning to put the scandal of Jiujiu News as film material." Faced with the other party's sudden concessions, Kim Jong-ming not only did not stop when he saw the good news, but instead made a big fuss. "The protagonist is the male anchor of Jiujiu News, who was driven down by the minister as a scapegoat because of the bribery incident..."
"Please don't joke with Mr. Kim Jong-ming!" Cao Daxian's face turned red and he slapped, and he really slapped... That's right, the KBS minister suddenly lost control of his emotions, and directly vividly interpreted what is the unique "hate" culture of Koreans.
"What's wrong?" Kim Jong-ming spread his hands disapprovingly. "Sarcastic current affairs are the most common plots in Korean movies and comics! The disgusting things you do are all on the news of JTB, so we are not allowed to shoot them? Otherwise, we have to sue JTB first, right?"
"But the Minister of KBS shirks the responsibility and seeking scapegoats... is totally slander!" Cao Daxian was furious. "And the two of them were in the same place as Jiujiu News, and I was not going to use them as scapegoats!"
"Oh!" Kim Jong-ming nodded immediately, looking like he suddenly realized. "I forgot that Minister Cao, you are a good person... Then that's fine, how about the director of KBS TV?"
"What?" Cao Daxian didn't understand.
"I mean, since this minister is a good person, the one who does bad things in the movie is better than the director of KBS TV." Kim Jong-ming pointed the table with a serious look on his face. "It was him who maliciously flattered the government first and instigated his subordinates to accept bribes from the Blue House to avoid negative news from the president and whitewash the image of the government. But afterwards, he took the news anchor as a scapegoat and kicked out... Then, in the main event in the movie, that is, when the KBS building faced a terrorist threat, he first chose to cooperate with the protagonist for the sake of ratings, but when things were not done, he betrayed his subordinates again..."
"Cough!" Jin Yingsuo, who was not far away, coughing dryly, and he didn't know if his throat was uncomfortable.
Cao Daxian breathed rapidly and his eyes flashed. It was obvious that he was dodging, but he slowly sat down without any intention of refuting.
Of course, Kim Jong-ming didn't let him go at all: "Minister Cao, you are also living in KBS. How sinister is this place that is half official and half mass media? Don't you know? You said, is my plot setting extremely absurd but real and credible? Is it very tense? I admire myself very much..."
Cao Daxian looked back at the studio. When the current Ube assistants had already guarded the door and there were only three people in the room, they couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Mr. Jin Zhongming, if you can say this, you must have known something..."
"I just thought of it." Kim Jong-ming replied disrespectfully. "If a competitor really likes Master KBS's position, how could he collude with Sun Shixi? Sun Shixi is the knife in the hands of Consultant Wen. Which side of the person who wants to mess with you? This makes no sense. Moreover, Master Li looked so perfunctory just now that I couldn't even stand it! So, what's going on?"
"Hmph!" Cao Daxian laughed like a self-deprecating. "After all, I am overestimating my abilities, but in fact, this is a simple matter..."
It turned out that as Kim Jong-ming guessed, the person who really watched the next KBS TV director's position was not someone else, and a man named Kim Shi-jun next to the aunt... That's right, before the aunt came on stage, his subordinates began to prepare to share the cake. But this is also a normal thing. The upper part talks about salary and remuneration. If you really talk about feelings, it's either the end of your life or the mind is in trouble... In short, the aunt responded in one go!
However, who is Li Bingchun here? He has long since defected to the aunt, and KBS TV station has been in his hands in recent years, such as turning losses into profits, not causing trouble, and never negative scandals of the current government and conservatives... In short, if the aunt goes up, his promotion will be inevitable!
So, it is precisely because of this that Li Bingchun took the position of Master Zhu early on and hung Cao Daxian!
As for what...'Oh, I'll be relieved to have ten thousand kbs in your hands in the future', and the like, "Kbs will only rely on you in the future." Cao Daxian had already heard the calluses when the two of them were drinking.
In fact, if it weren't for this, why would Cao Daxian work hard in the position of Minister over the years? You should know that the hard work is all his own, but the credit is all his own.
But what? When things are approaching, Li Bingchun's term is about to end. He is watching Professor An and Consultant Wen are still having fun with the aunt for whom they are the boss, and everything is going to be natural... But there is a Jin Shijun who doesn't know anyone who knows!
At this time, the so-called word "class" is really vivid again. Do you think you are Gencong, and you are called Bingchun in private? But in the eyes of Master Li Da, who is about to be promoted, you are nothing when you are useless! If nothing goes wrong, it is natural that it will be fine to pull you. You can still help you in the future. But that Jin Shijun is the aunt's confidant, and the aunt nodded. How can I refute my face? Why should I affect my future for the sake of the future of you, a subordinate?
Of course, Li Bingchun also understood that Cao Daxian was just to take over his position in recent years. He said directly that he might have to have a rebellious mentality. If he had a fuss, he would probably lose his face.
Just so happened that at this time, a branch of Sun Shixi attacked Jiujiu News and accepted bribes from the chaebol to reduce negative reports to the other party. Li Bingchun took advantage of the situation to bite to death and said that the other party was coming for Cao Daxian, just to prevent him from being the director of KBS TV!
That's very clear. Cao Daxian recognized this statement, and the minister continued to do it, and everyone fooled it. If you don't, then let alone the minister, don't do it anymore. Anyway, this matter is big or small. You will have a meeting next week. After the blame is taken, you will be the deputy director of the variety show bureau!
As for the scene that Kim Jong-ming encountered just now, it was actually Li Bingchun who wanted to be clean and refuse to admit his account, and he also wanted to be affectionate in public... You see, it's not that I don't want you to be the master. I have worked very hard, and I didn't even let Kim Jong-ming go by whom I happened to pass by! But, the matter is really difficult, don't be resentful to me in the future because of this matter!
However, after hearing this story, Kim Jong-ming immediately laughed: "Minister Cao, are you really in love with you Master Li, and you still protect him? Or do you think I am a fool?"
Cao Daxian, who finished speaking in one breath, laughed dryly, trying to say something, but then closed his mouth on his own initiative.
"I'll just pick it up!" Jin Zhongming shook his head helplessly. "It has always been a common practice for nine o'clock news to accept bribes, and everyone in the industry knows it. But why is such a scandal like a hidden rule not revealed earlier or later, but is it revealed now?"
Cao Daxian finally couldn't laugh, but he still didn't speak. Jin Yingshuo, who was sitting by the window, had his eyes straightened. He had guessed something according to his boss's words.
"Because Sun Shixi got the evidence." Kim Jong-ming sneered. "That was why he jumped out and cursed with confidence! But where did the evidence come from? Which chaebol has produced an insider, or which TV station has produced an insider?"
Not only did Cao Daxian stop laughing, but he also began to feel a little bit gritted, but immediately this feeling of resentment quickly turned into an indescribable loss and helplessness. In the end, his eyes turned red!
Zhenzhen clearly demonstrated the unique "hate" culture of Koreans!
"It seems that Minister Cao also understands that you are not only thrown away as waste, but even betrayed by others!" Jin Zhongming replied jokingly. "Master Li is afraid that you will be entangled, so he can take the initiative to find someone like Sun Shixi to get a handle... Of course, it must be just a handle! After stuffing, you have to pretend to be a good person and ask you to be grateful. You dare not not to cry out... How do you say it? It would be strange if Master Li can't climb up! And it seems that there is a reason why people like you are always under him, right?"
After a few words, Cao Daxian, who was told about the central matter, was already very aggrieved. In the end, without Kim Jong-ming stimulating him, he was already crying. He was a decades old, as a wronged as a child. Fortunately, there was no sour wine in front of him, otherwise he might have been able to jump into the Mapo Bridge and jump into the Han River after drinking a few bottles!
"However, Lao Li also made a huge mistake. He shouldn't use me as a prop to act." Jin Zhongming held his arms expressionlessly and continued to watch the show. "He neither knew my determination for this movie nor did he understand that my movie happened to tell the nature of cannibalism in this class society... Such a wonderful plot is right in front of me, but my interest doubled, and in the end I really guessed the story behind it!"
"Mr. Kim Jong-ming." Cao Daxian wiped his tears and his snot. "It's not that I'm ignorant. You said you want to blow up the KBS building. I also had this impulse when I was sleeping at night. You said that you revealed the disgusting behavior of the director in the movie. I actually yearn for it. But that's just a dream. In reality, I'm still the director of the KBS. Go down, I have to face the overall staff of KBS, so I have to do my best to maintain the reputation of KBS; go up, even in the end, even if it's the end.
For a few months, I will also face Master Li. The so-called senior official level crushing people to death. What can I do with his methods? So, whether it is to bomb a building or to edit this scandal into the plot of the movie, if you use a KB or something, I will support you ten thousand times, because in that case, at most, the KBs colleagues will scold you behind your back, and no one can say anything in person. But if you insist on naming KBs directly in the movie, I am afraid that I will never agree at all!”
"So... Minister Cao, you deserve to be played with by Master Li for the rest of your life." Kim Jong-ming continued to mock him helplessly. "Do you need me to emphasize it again? When the movie is released, it will be 2013 years since the life and death of Li Bingchun will be out of here!"
"So what?" Cao Daxian retorted weakly. "I'm still in KBS!"
"Then learn how to turn the blame?" Kim Jong-ming retorted expressionlessly. "Tell you the colleagues of KBS, the person who authorized Kim Jong-ming to stigmatize KBS was Master Lee who was in power at the time... It has nothing to do with you! If someone continues to refute, saying that movies are so bad, how could Master Lee agree? Just tell everyone that Master Lee calculates that the movie will be released after he leaves office. He is to disgust the next Master... Anyway, he has left, I am still the minister. Do you believe him or me? Don't believe it? If you don't believe it, go and ask Kim Jong-ming!"
Cao Daxian sucked his nose and was stunned on the spot.
Half an hour later, after KBS Director Lee Bingchun made a clear look, Kim Jong-ming and KBS Director Cao Daxian officially signed a studio rental contract, but the formally signed contract also included an authorization document with the seal of KBS Director... The contract was in duplicate, and Kim Jong-ming and Cao Daxian each kept it.
"What should I do next?"
Finally, another thing was done, so after walking out of the KBS headquarters building, Kim Jong-ming breathed a long sigh at the bright sunshine above his head.
"It should be recruiting actors." Kim Young-soo, who was next to him, replied carefully.
"Yes, I got the venue and authorization, it's time to recruit actors, and there are indeed several roles that are important..." Kim Jong-ming suddenly stopped and simply stood on the steps at the gate of KBS. He was under the sun, not saying that he didn't bother to say it, but he also raised his fingers, as if he wanted to calculate how many characters there were to recruit actors.
"The role of the boss is the most important... Well, then the female counter-terrorism expert, police chief, terrorist, and reporter's wife, these five characters are undoubtedly the most preferred roles." Kim Young-soo added immediately. "There is half the role of the host of a hostile TV station... However, it was just a dark face to question the protagonist with provocative news language, so this role is actually very simple. I think it is appropriate to find a real news anchor."
"That's right, so the most important thing is the first five. Who are these five characters looking for?" Jin Zhongming spread his palms and shook his five fingers. "You are the director, do you have any ideas?"
"There are too many ideas." Perhaps because he noticed his boss's determination to move forward, Kim Young-soo did not refuse and immediately made a serious suggestion. "Boss..."
"Master." Kim Jong-ming corrected. "We promised Minister Cao that we must be trustworthy."
"Yes, Director! The role of Director, I suggest appropriate stereotypes, highlighting the momentum and age and qualifications of superiors, as well as the cunning personality... Let the audience know at first glance that this person is standing above the protagonist on the TV station, and can easily play with the protagonist in the applause. Of course, stereotypes do not mean that there is no characteristics. But... there are only a few supporting actors in Korea who are outstanding in similar roles!"
"Senior Bai Yunzhi and Senior Li Jingrong." Kim Jong-ming immediately thought of the two candidates. "The former is better at the feeling of being scheming, while the latter is better at the momentum of the superiors... However, Senior Bai Yunzhi is a little older and is much different from our Senior Li Bingchun, and Senior Li Jingrong is more suitable!"
"I feel so too!" Kim Young-soo still didn't get along with the key issues. "And after all, Senior Bai Yun-sik is from KBS. If he asked him to act in such a play, he might not be able to explain to the TV station internally, so... it is more suitable for Senior Li Jingrong!"
"And they are all surnamed Li." Jin Zhongming teased jokingly. "I feel quite happy when I call Master Li..."
"Kim..." Kim Young-soo reminded in a low voice. "The next Minister is likely to be surnamed Jin! We promised Minister Cao to cover it up for him... I just said that Master Lee is too directed, and it will be difficult for him to shirk responsibility by then."
"No, it's just a little detail, there's not that much trouble." Kim Jong-ming replied indifferently. "Where can he turn the blame over and see my attitude at that time, it's not about this matter..."
To be continued...
