Chapter 319 I have something to say (Part 1)
ps: Sorry, I made a typo in the book I pushed yesterday. It was "In the Warm Time" not "In the Warm Time"... As I said so, I couldn't figure out which one was right, the title of this book...
Yoo Ah In is Kim Jong-ming's entrustment. How do you say this?
At least, after seeing the former's "convincing" film review and apology, everyone probably still didn't think about it in this direction, because the confession and apology came so naturally and so reasonable. When everyone knew that Kim Jong-ming forgave the other party and had lunch with the other party, most people still didn't think about it, because perhaps they felt that people with the identity of Kim Jong-ming should have this belly.
However, no matter whether it is speculation or serious thinking, some people can understand the results. So, in the middle of the night, Han Hyo-joo still appeared at Hongdae and joined the midnight snack.
There seems to be nothing to complain about. Everyone knows that Han Hyo-joo lives in Hannan Cave, almost one step away from Hongdae. She wants to come here in five minutes.
"Leave?" At twelve o'clock in the evening or around the early morning, Han Hyo-joo sat alone on a long table in a pig elbow shop in Hongdae. She waited for a long time before waiting for Liu Yaren back.
"Let's go." Yoo Ya-in sat down with relief. "He came to pick him up by someone from his security company."
Han Xiaozhu nodded, as if she wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a moment, she still didn't speak.
"If you want to ask, ask!" Liu Yaren said impatiently. "The fans waiting to take photos on the opposite door probably don't have the ability to eavesdrop. My home is far away and I have to go back to bed as soon as possible."
"Actually, it's nothing." Han Xiaozhu responded a little uneasy. "I just want to ask, when did you discuss it with him?"
"Correction." After hearing this question, Liu Yaren frowned sensitively. "It's not about discussion. There's no discussion between him and me, it's just a simple order and compliance, so it's meaningless to say that time is not worth it."
"Then another question, when did you...have started to have this sense of 'compliance'?" Han Xiaozhu felt a little reluctant to leave.
"I forgot too." Yoo Ya-in lowered his head and sipped the hot tea, then shook his head. "Anyway, things didn't happen overnight. I had to say anything. Maybe I heard that he had a close relationship with Candidate Park before, so I didn't save face at a certain awards ceremony, and then I got a warning..."
"Who warns you, he warns you?"
"That's not, it's Senior Choi Min-sik and Song Joong-ki." Yoo Ya-in recalled with emotion. " Senior Choi Min-sik noticed my reaction at that time, so he came over and asked me to take care of myself afterwards. Then, I went to talk to Jun-ki, hoping that he could give me some advice, but he said something very interesting to me..."
Han Hyo-joo tilted her head in time and expressed some concern.
"Jung Ki told me that no matter what we think, in fact, we have actually been taken care of by Kim Jong-ming, and to outsiders, we are all his people from Kim Jong-ming... So to some extent, what we think is meaningless."
Han Hyo-joo lowered her head and still didn't say anything.
"It's that simple truth, I'll finish it." Liu Yaren was obviously in a bad mood. "I'll leave first, my house is far away..."
"It's still something." Han Xiaozhu suddenly raised her head again. "I actually want to ask you something, are you willing?"
"What does it mean?" Liu Yaren frowned rarely.
"Everyone is all the same age, right?" Han Xiaozhu asked with her lips pursed. "He just calls for the wind and rain, and he doesn't even have any rituals and has no restraining identity, so he becomes our... 'Boss'? Don't you feel frustrated?"
"If I don't feel frustrated, I won't stay and say so much to you." Yoo Yaren finally couldn't help but sneer. "But so what about frustration? Do you think he acts too domineeringly, and then I do this completely against my will?"
"Who knows this except yourself?"
"Then let me just say that I can make a profit by doing this. I originally had a clear position against Candidate Park, which means to create an image of not fearing power. Now... Isn't this image actually more successful? And I also corrected it when I know the mistake, not brainless." At this point, Yoo Ya-in smiled self-deprecatingly. "There are too many people who rely on his breath, and too many people who can use it. I just happened to be very suitable, so the two sides hit it off. To some extent, I still benefited from it."
"But to say that, where does this feeling of suffocation that you and I both come from?"
"Is it because of the distance?" Liu Yaren's tone gradually calmed down.
"Do you think he blocked the rise of us?"
"On the contrary, if we had such a sense of competition with him two years ago, now, the problem between him and us is probably that there is too much space for each other."
Han Hyo-joo was silent about it.
At this point, Liu Yaren has completely calmed down: "The reserved space or distance I am talking about does not refer to identity, power, financial resources... Have you watched today's movie Xiaozhu? That is a real distance that makes people desperate. I have always been curious about what method he is going to use as a trump card? I have thought it was a transaction of power, a transfer of interests, and even thought it was something that I don't understand, but is more dirty at the higher level... those things
It’s not that I can’t accept it. Actually, I’m mentally prepared to accept it. But I never expected that his last trump card would be a movie that makes people’s scalp and hearts numb! This thing should have been the last sense of independence in front of him, or the last support for us to stand in front of him, but he was dug into a new barrier! In this case, how can I not feel aggrieved? What you are today... Actually, I think so, right?"
Han Hyo-joo couldn't help but breathe a deep breath: "It's almost the same. I think you should have the same feeling, so I ask this boring question. To put it bluntly, this feeling of suffocation is not because of being condescendingly exploited or ordered by others, but a kind of loss in all respects and a confusion that cannot see the hope of chasing... After all, it's also a peer, right?"
"My home is far away, I'm going back to sleep." Yoo Yaren reiterated his reasons again, and then stood up straight.
And this time, Han Hyo-joo finally didn't say anything more.
On the second day, the movie "Horror Live" really set off a wave of public opinion.
The plot that constantly reversal and ultimately sublimated, the exposure of the cannibal society class, sharp political satire, and involves the political gossip and confrontation in reality, as well as the sudden reversal of public opinion atmosphere, and the breaking and reconciliation between famous actors... All kinds of situations have indeed pushed up the attention of this movie.
Of course, the media is not following the trend without any use, and they have also summarized a lot of interesting things.
For example, the movie is concentrated in a closed live broadcast room with limited area, but it tells and discusses the big theme of the opposition between the government and the people, which is a typical small stage pattern; for example, the movie actually tells a complete theme story in a space within a day, and the protagonist only has one Kim Jong-ming, which is simply a classic return of classical drama; for example, the movie actually describes a TV story in the form of a drama, which can be said to fully discuss the two-word medium in a layered manner.
However, when it comes to the audience, no matter how many high-end comments are, they are just icing on the cake. What really attracts them is because this movie has enough "power".
When an audience member is attracted to the cinema and then comes out, it can be said that the camera is a bit shaky; it can be said that the CG is not as spectacular as imagined; it can also be said that the plot is too tight and I can't understand it; but except for a few people who deliberately make new and eye-catching, it is difficult for anyone to say the meaningless words of the movie "Horror Live".
Thinking about it, even if someone is confused about it, when the protagonist resolutely presses the bomb button and then, the KBS library, which is exactly the same as in reality, collapses and smashes into the Congress Hall together, he will be instantly shocked by the loud noise and sweat.
And in this cold sweat, the "exhaustion"-like catharsis advocated by Koreans has unknowingly achieved an effect beyond expectations.
So, as expected, "Horror Live" began a double crush on reputation and box office in December. The so-called... almost no enemy in one round is probably what it means.
Among them, the first but most helpless thing is "Skyscraper" jointly formed by Seo Jingqiu and Son Ye-jin!
It is a disaster film in a sense, and a satirical ugly situation in the social high-level state... If there is no "Horror Live", it will definitely have a good reputation and box office. However, the so-called "not afraid of people comparing people is afraid of goods comparing goods. After "Horror Live" was released at the same time, this disaster film, which was also released in early December, and then the big-produced disaster film with the same theme and connotation, began to dive directly!
This is inevitable that the box office will plummet. Movies with the same theme and connotation will be the most lethal in the box office! However, what is even more sad is that this obviously good movie has even lowered its reputation by 30%, and the actors' evaluation is almost pitiful!
In fact, in this big production, in addition to Seo Kyung-kook and Son Ye-jin's performance, there are also powerful actors such as Kim Sang-kyung and Do Ji-han. However, at this moment, they are all directly taken by unscrupulous media to take advantage of the steps:
They said that Seol Kyung-kook is not as good as Kim Jong-ming's hair, because Kim Jong-ming's hair can act, and he can always change the protagonist's emotions; then Sun Ye-jin is not as good as Lee Jin's eyes, because Lee Jin's eyes through the three layers of glass can simply perm the audience's heart; in the end, Kim Sang-kyung and Do-Ji-han plus a piece is not as good as Lee Jing-rong's sneer...
Of course, everyone understands that this is not the bad "Skyscraper", but the media is really unscrupulous! Otherwise, why did Kim Jong-ming ridicule them so unruly in the movie? And they were ridiculed more and more, but they were praised "Horror Live" more and more without any bottom line... This mentality is really interesting.
But no matter what, Kim Jong-ming is still self-aware.
He knew very well that even if his reputation was so great and even if it was infinitely raised by the political vortex, the movie was only about 90 minutes. Moreover, since it was indeed a temporary intention to play it, the later CG production really did not meet the standards, and even because of the strategy, the movie did not have time to invest in conventional publicity methods.
To put it bluntly, this is just a small production that wins purely by the plot.
A small-produced movie that wins with a plot is destined to be impossible to have a long period of popularity, because once the plot content is widely spread, the movie will immediately lose its appeal in viewing.
So, after learning that the average daily box office of the movie was as high as 300,000, Kim Jong-ming made a quick estimate and simply announced it directly:
Since the theme of the movie is to explore the relationship between the government and the people, in order to make the movie more realistic, "Horror Live" will be officially drawn the day before the election voting begins at the end of December, in order to call on more people to pay attention to and participate in the election.
As soon as this statement was made, from the Election Fairness Committee to the three main candidates (and Shen Xiang-jeong of the Justice Party, this seemingly meaningless insistence at this time was later proved to be an excellent decision, of course this is a later story), they praised Kim Jong-ming for his high sense of social responsibility! Especially the two people on the storm, the sincere smile seemed to be the same as the people and the media who were ridiculed by this movie two days ago.
But no matter what, this movie has its own established destiny after all.
As An Zhongfan said after the premiere, the actual value of this movie was completely reflected after that loud bang. What kind of box office reputation can only be said to be icing on the cake.
"So, Jin Qichun is going to get out?" Li Xiuman asked in shock. "It's just because of a movie?"
"It's because he made too many enemies, and then suddenly fell into a political credibility crisis, so he was squeezed out." As he said that, Kim Jong-ming took his eyes off the nine girls in the field, turned his head and explained it to Li Xiuman for a little. "On the contrary, my movies take advantage of his bad situation... In short, no matter what exists independently, it can only be said that the two sides interact."
"It's good to leave." Li Xiuman nodded with certainty after thinking for a moment. "This person is a typical conservative and hard-working man, and he is qualified and has a wide network of contacts. If he becomes an 'internal minister', life will definitely be even worse for us!"
"More?" Jin Zhongming of course noticed the implicit meaning in the other party's words.
"A few days left, and as the polls were ups and downs, consultant Kewen was basically hopeless." Li Xiuman replied with a little depressed look. "We are not you, we have the confidence to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai... I guess from now on, we will really be a human being with our tails together!"
"Who told you s.m to be a representative company in the industry?" Jin Zhongming sneered indifferently. "If it is really a small company, it will be easy to deal with. Let's join forces to buy back the equity of the National Pension Fund. You are half and I am half..."
Li Xiuman immediately sneered! What a joke? The second largest shareholder of s.m is the national pension fund, or the government. This is certainly a way for the government to control and influence enterprises, but for non-chaebol enterprises like them, it is also a kind of recognition plus an amulet! If you really drive this shareholder out and let Kim Jong-ming intervene in, it will be a place to die without a burial!
In fact, Kim Jong-ming’s meaning is indeed very clear. It’s okay not to be worried and scared. Don’t be the boss of the industry. Isn’t it enough to be my younger brother?
Of course, this is mostly joke. Of course, Li Xiuman would not be scared to let go because of the failure of the backstage... He did not give up his foundation even when he was driven to the United States, let alone now?
"However, you guys are so enthusiastic that they don't seem to be like being a human being with their tails in their hands, right?" After the joke, Kim Jong-ming smiled and leaned into the field. It turned out that the two of them had been standing in a dance practice room and watching the young man practiced their dance.
"The opposite." Li Xiuman put away his sneer and explained seriously. "This return is really careful... In order to protect them, they are neither afraid to return during the election, afraid of being exploited; nor dare to return after the lady comes on stage, for fear of being upset. Therefore, the window period left for our company is actually from the voting results next week, before taking office in February next year. During this window period, our company not only has to arrange their return, but also let Exo take the opportunity to debut! In short, it is so troublesome!"
"It's much better than yg." Kim Jong-ming smiled. "Yg is full of opportunities nowadays. Yang Hyun-soo also promises fans every day that which group will return, but in fact they are delaying it again and again. Unlike seniors, you can do it after you say it, and you never go back on your word without guarantee."
"I would rather believe that Yang Xianshuo was scared and disabled by you." Li Xiuman sneered again. "Since that time this summer, he has held a good hand and never dared to play. He has been thinking about how to clear the account for you first, but you just said that you don't have to hurry to give money..."
"It's still his personality is wrong." Jin Zhongming waved his hand quickly. "If you were senior, how could you take this into consideration? Maybe you would make money faster because of this!"
"What about you cubes?" Li Xiuman suddenly asked again. "I just point to the songs. What's going on this year? It was called the wind and rain in the first half of the year, but it was like that in the second half of the year? What did Hong Shengcheng run out well? Why did Cui Zhenhao take office again?"
"Old Hong is in poor health." Jin Zhongming sighed after hearing this. "There is nothing to hide from you. He will continue to treat him next. It is hard to say whether he can come back to work. Anyway, at present, there is no intention of coming back to take over by the middle of next year..."
"The body is like this." After hearing this, Li Xiuman was silent for a while. "For people of our age, sometimes it is more helpless than their personality... Anyway, he is no longer as good as before. He has money. He can live well with AIDS. Just recuperate for a while!"
Kim Jong-ming didn't say anything. He didn't want to get too much entanglement on this topic, but suddenly stared at someone in the young man in the venue with interest.
"What's going on?" Li Xiuman followed the other person's gaze in confusion, but did not find any inappropriateness.
"Hat." Kim Jong-ming pointed at the field casually. "Senior, don't you always say that you want to be a human being with your tail squashed? Why do you still ask Sunny and the others to wear such hats?"
Li Xiuman squinted his eyes and looked at the nine young people in the field. After a few seconds, his face suddenly changed drastically, and he shouted to stop dancing, and then there was a storm.
It turned out that Sunny and Seo Hyun each wore a baseball cap of a Korean fashion brand Vagx, and the one printed on it was simply nude swearing... And in this regular fourth episode of "Igotaboy", the title song style is really weird. The theme is the chatter of girls, and with their strange outfits, it would be difficult to notice if you really observe it carefully.
The storm comes and goes quickly. Li Xiuman, who claims to be a person with his tail, immediately formulated a strategy to use tape to dirt with dirty words, and the MV that has been produced must also be reviewed and edited again, and will never give anyone a handle.
After quickly resolving this incident, Li Xiuman finally stopped talking about the matter on the scene full of music and dance:
"Come on Zhong Ming, let's go to the door. I have something to tell you."
Kim Jong-ming agreed calmly.
