Chapter 354 Introduction(1/2)

Kim Jong-ming finally stayed to help.

To be honest, he really brought the so-called internationalism spirit to the extreme this time, because there is no personal reward for doing this, and it is purely to come and suffer and suffer.

Think about it, from late April to mid-May, Kim Jong-ming, as a director, helped the crew of "Su Yuan", spent a lot of time and energy on it, but only received all kinds of depression and fatigue. As for the reputation that such a movie can bring? To be honest, he is just an associate director. If there is any reputation in the future, it will be Lee Jun-yi's. What does it have to do with him? In fact, Kim Jong-ming ended up just letting Lee Jun-yi not have to worry about it, and don't write his name at all when it is released in the future.

By the way, he accidentally missed the 13-year Baeksang Art Awards. You should know that the effect period of "Horror Live" is still there, and the Baeksang Art Awards, which are changing the time everywhere, are scheduled in mid-May this year. Therefore, Kim Jong-ming is still a strong candidate for the Best Actor in this year, and even there is a clear tendency on Baeksang... However, this guy really forgot such an important thing!

Speaking of which noon, Kim Jong-ming finished recording "Three Meals" and then with a bunch of strange lunches made by Park So-yeon, he drove to Changwon by himself. When Su Xiaoya called in the evening, he had just arrived at Changwon, the southeastern South Korea, and there was no time for him to drive to Changwon.

And the Baeksang Art Awards are all the oldest and most official awards in Korea. After this attitude of not giving face is put on, no matter how awesome you are, you can't stick your cold butt with a warm face, right?

In short, Kim Jong-ming may have lost the Best Actor because of this.

However, all of this was a choice made by Kim Jong-ming himself. He probably felt that all this was worth it, because as Xu Xian said, he had vaguely regarded this movie as a personal bottom line. The bottom line is the bottom line. If you can't let go, you can't let go. It would be fine if you don't say it. Since you have made such a request, what if you help me and seek peace of mind?

And does he really care about the actors or something? For Kim Jong-ming today, being at ease is a luxury.

Of course, with the closing of the Baeksang Art Awards, Kim Jong-ming had actually finished the task assigned by Li Junyi to him. While putting down his psychological burden, he naturally had the intention to express his thoughts on this matter.

"Wood, Wood, where are we going?" The question was Zheng Ermao. It was noon on May 19, 2013, and the location was the recording of "Three Hourses and Three Meals". The recording of this hottest variety show has just ended here. Zheng Ermao, who came here for free as a visitor, just walked out of the house with Chu Long on his bag.

"I won't go to mbc anyway." Kim Jong-ming was standing in the potato field in the distance, checking the calls and text messages that had been in the past day and night. After hearing the question, he gave the other party a critical blow.

The audience burst into laughter, and Krystal was immediately furious and puffed up because it was hard not to remind people of MBC's most popular variety show "Dad, Where Are We Going" at the moment.

You should know that this popular program was also recorded in Gangwon Do in May, and today, Sunday, I should be able to catch up with the broadcast of this program after I go back. More importantly, the ratings of this program are currently firmly at the super high line of 15%, and it is the only program that exceeds "Three Times and Three Meals"... Of course, "Three Times and Three Meals" is a cable variety show, while the former is a variety show of TVB, which is incomparable.

In short, almost everyone on the scene could understand the jokes of the brother and sister. It seemed that Jin Zhongming was in a good mood.

"Wood, I will tell my mom about this." Krystal was speechless, but he could only think of going home to find the adults.

But then again, it seems quite reasonable to ask elders to support this time.

"Whatever." Jin Zhongming quickly put away his cell phone and walked towards the yard. "I happened to have an appointment with someone to go to my mother's cafe. It's quite a coincidence that you want to complain..."

"Don't you go to have a meal first?" Chu Long quickly interrupted. Anyway, she felt that Kim Jong-ming's joke was too much. If Krystal really made this joke out of his elders, Kim Jong-ming would have to be killed.

"Yes, let's go to have a meal first." Krystal became interested when he heard this word, but he forgot about the loss he had just suffered. "I want to eat roasted fish at the Chinese restaurant in Apgujeong..."

Before she finished speaking, the three people who had already gathered together in the yard all changed color. It turned out that at this moment, Park So-yeon, who had fallen at the end because of hard work in the pot, had already appeared at the door... She should be very sensitive to this topic.

"It's okay." Park Soo-yeon laughed dryly while locking the door. "Actually, I'm hungry too. Let's go back to Seoul to have roasted fish together. I know I've messed up lunch again. I shouldn't have roasted fish but I can't clean the fish scales, but I will study it carefully this week..."

Several people were speechless immediately, but the people in the program team couldn't help laughing. Park So-yeon's obsession and her various fancy recipes have become the main highlights of the program.

In this way, the assistants of several people, including Su Xiaoya, left directly as instructed, then Krystal drove, Park Soyoon took the co-pilot, Kim Jong-ming and Chu-long sat in the back seat, and then the electric sports car rushed all the way, heading straight for Seoul from Gangwon Road.

Then... the car was blocked at Guanghua Gate.

"Why are there traffic jams in the afternoon?" Krystal was speechless.

"What happened before?"

"How could there be a policeman?" Chu Long and Zhao Yan were also shocked.

"It's someone who is demonstrating." Krystal narrowed his eyes and looked carefully for a while, and then gave an answer that was not the answer. "There are only a few people. Why did such demonstrations block the road? There are also police?"

Jin Zhongming was speechless and quickly took out his mobile phone to search the Internet for keywords, but he couldn't find the news. It seemed that things were indeed an emergency... But after 20 or 30 minutes, as the police dispersed and the traffic resumed, there was finally movement on the Internet.

"It's a Hyundai employee." Chu Long explained as he looked at the screen of his mobile phone. "It was said that the Hyundai employee suddenly ran here and asked the government to arrest their boss. Because he did not report and even poured paint on the statue of King Sejong, he had a conflict with the police..."

"If you protest, you won't throw paint on King Sejong like you?" Zhaoyan couldn't help but turn around and asked. "Didn't such protests occur every day? Modern trade unions also go on strike every year, right?"

"I don't know this." Chu Long flipped through the news on his mobile phone, but couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.

"It's understandable." They are also reading the news, and they are reading the same news, but as a knowledgeable person, Kim Jong-ming got much more information from the lines. "The description of this news should be that Modern people cheated these employees, probably to save money, the company did not sign formal contracts with these people at the beginning, and was recruited as informal employees. Then, before the legal period of formalization was stipulated, they made reasons to hype these people..."

"Then this is really too much." Zhao Yan then understood a little. "These people must have worked very hard to get into a regular business, but they were fired at the last moment, which was like a waste of work. No wonder they were so intense."

Chu Long also nodded sympathetically: "There are indeed too many things happening with such informal employees recently. SK has had such a thing before."

"That's understandable." Krystal, who restarted the car, seemed to remember something. "I read the popular comic "Veter" online a few days ago. Didn't the cause of the big company suddenly fire informal employees?"

No one paid attention to her, as if she was the only one who reads this comic herself. Krystal had no choice but to drive seriously in the slow moving traffic.

However, at this moment, he turned his head and stared at Jin Zhongming outside the window and couldn't help but sigh.

"What are you doing with Oppa?" Chu Long asked immediately.

"What are Zhong Ming thinking?" Although Park Soo-yeon didn't look back, she also stared at the rearview mirror and asked.

Zheng Ermao in the driver's seat couldn't help but pout, but no one paid attention to his words. As a result, someone sighed but attracted everyone's concern. The difference in treatment...

"I'm thinking about the Korean commander in the Blue House behind me. She has only been on the stage for a few months and her life is not going well!" Kim Jong-ming was just right.

"What's wrong with this?" Before the other two people could speak, Krystal, who was driving, immediately rushed to interrupt. "Our president has brought the two presidents of CJ and SK to court at the same time, and both presidents have a tendency to surrender. With her current power, Hyundai should be very scared, right? This kind of thing may be solved as long as the president says..."

Kim Jong-ming didn't say a word, just continued to stare out the window, just like a god. Those who didn't know thought he was being hit by Krystal. However, others didn't know how could the three people in the car not understand? The brother and sister were stubborn, and Kim Jong-ming obviously disdained to argue Krystal.

"Wood." Krystal was a little dissatisfied. "What are you thinking? If I say something wrong, just tell me directly. What's the matter?"

"Actually, I am just lamenting the difficulty of the superiors, not deliberately ignoring you." Kim Jong-ming seemed to have come back to his senses, but he did not take his gaze from the car window. "Actually, you are right. President Park is on the momentum, but the so-called personal power is only personal power after all, and a superior cannot solve the problem by relying solely on personal authoritarianism. At least she cannot use this to deal with the big problems of labor-management relations and the overall downward trend of South Korea's manufacturing industry... Besides, the big things in this country have never been decided by the president."

"Who has the final say?" Krystal seemed to be pushing the bull, but Kim Jong-ming knew that this girl should have softened after she spoke a call and gave a step.

"Who knows?" Kim Jong-ming, who comforted his sister's emotions, felt a little emotionally lost. After he took back his eyes from the US Embassy outside the car window and the chaebol building, he was too lazy to talk about this topic.

The car arrived at Apgujeong without any obstacles, but Kim Jong-ming had to take the lead... After all, the car was delayed, and he had made an appointment with someone at Zheng's mother's cafe. If he wanted to go to have a meal, he would not be able to control the time. After a little discussion, Chu Long and Zhao Yeon were both ready to wait until Kim Jong-ming met with the man before going to have dinner together, just for dinner. Although Krystal was dissatisfied again, he could not help these two people, so he had to go to his mother's cafe with the three of them.

When they arrived at the cafe, the three of them understood what was going on... No, Kim Jong-ming actually met a reporter from the Korean Financial News here.

That's right, I met a reporter by chance in the afternoon when I had the least customers in a cafe. I was also a reporter from the entertainment version of the Korean Finance News, who had the best relationship with him. And the reporter came out to drink coffee and brought a recorder with him.

"It was indeed a special choice not to go to Baixiang site." In the corner of the cafe, I saw the three girls coming together, Zheng's mother and several working waiters chatting quietly at the counter. Jin Zhongming, who was calm, immediately started to talk to the reporter in front of me with shameless words. "This is actually carefully considered."

"Are you thinking carefully?" The reporter who came with the editor-in-chief's instructions seemed a little confused. After all, why did it feel wrong to hear this? However, he continued with a very professional ethics. "But Mr. Jin Zhongming, some things cannot be dispelled by just one thoughtful sentence... As far as I know, this time, you are the most popular actor in the Best Actor Award. Even before the opening, many media thought that this Best Actor Award was the only one. And more importantly, you officially accepted the Best Actor invitation before! Everyone knew the final result, but you did not appear at all. Therefore, many people, including the audience, said that you are despising the Best Actor Award with a long historical tradition..."

"How is this possible?" Kim Jong-ming shook his head quickly. "I am the youngest winner of the Grand Prix Awards. I have always been grateful to the Baeksang Art Awards and the relevant organizing committees, so how could I underestimate it?"

"But you didn't go after all, and you broke the promise."

"So I need to explain it specifically." Kim Jong-ming said with a serious expression. "First of all, of course, I have to apologize for the failure of the appointment, and secondly, I have to talk about what I thought about that day... In fact, what I said was that I was thinking carefully was mainly because I had won the Best Actor Award for "Horror Live" before!"

The reporter couldn't help but be stunned. He almost couldn't hold the recorder... After all, why does this feel a bit frustrating?

"This kind of idea has been around for a long time." Kim Jong-ming held his arms and continued to preach seriously. "But after leaving the recording site of "Three Times and Three Meals" that day, this idea was particularly strong. I always felt that if I rely on the previous video to give a second prize, it would be fine if I didn't win the award. If I won the award, it would make me feel a little sad!"

The Korean Financial News reporter said this twice in his mind before he could confirm what the other party meant: "Mr. Kim Jong-ming meant that, regardless of whether you win or lose all your movies in the future, you will only participate in the awards once?"

"That's what it means." Kim Jong-ming smiled. "Of course, it's limited to the three major prizes."

The reporter didn't know how to continue for a while.

To be honest, the reply given by Kim Jong-ming certainly seems noble, and this time, there is a perfect explanation for the missed Baixiang. Moreover, if this guy can really stick to this way, his reputation will definitely rise to another level in the future.

However, the reporter knew very well that there were actually two obvious problems hidden in the other party's reply, which was obviously impossible for Kim Jong-ming to think about it in advance.

First of all, no matter what, three award opportunities become once, there will always be a lot of honors. Today, I will shut up and say something. I won’t feel sorry for you at that time? Are you sure you can persevere?

But this is fine, because that is a matter of Kim Jong-ming’s personal choice and personal perseverance.

So, the real problem is secondly, that is, Kim Jong-ming's statement is not only self-abuse, but also sinful! And the ones offended those core Korean movie characters who are more experienced than him and are also very competitive!

It is conceivable that after these words are said, the young actors who just want to stand out and compete fiercely will certainly be secretly happy because Kim Jong-ming took the initiative to give up the opportunity! But what about those who were in the past? Those who had already won a lot of honors by sweeping? For the actors who were so noble, how can they handle themselves? For those seniors, are you doing this in disguise to devalue the honors we get? The most direct example is what your teacher An Shengji thinks? How many of his many actors were exchanged for the so-called "sweep". Have you ever calculated it?

"Actually, this idea mainly comes from Teacher An Shengji." Just when the reporter didn't know how to continue, Kim Jong-ming actually took the initiative to talk, and just took his teacher as an example.

"This..." The reporter felt a little dry.

"I don't know if I have ever mentioned it to the outside world. When I was a disciple of Mr. An Shengji, I once made a somewhat arrogant agreement to him, that is, I promise that I must get more Actor's trophysical master's trophy than him in my lifetime..." Kim Jong-ming narrowed his eyes and looked at the sunset in the glass window, as if he was recalling his golden years.

"Hmm...huh?" The reporter reacted a little.

"Now, I thought about it, I was really ignorant of the vastness of the world, but time had passed, and I saw that I had some capital to discuss this matter publicly, but I was a little scared of my heart and wanted to swallow my elephant."

"What do you mean..." The reporter's eyes became brighter, and he vaguely reacted. This was indeed a perfect excuse. To limit the matter to personal reasons such as teacher-student bondage, it would naturally give everyone else a step.

"When students always need to innovate, right?" Kim Jong-ming showed a little hesitant and ambition, and he became vocal in his words. "The times are progressing. What was the Korean film market in Mr. An Sung-ki's era and what was we like now? The teacher had a few excellent works a year at that time, so it was too normal for a good work to "sweep" after it came out. Even his "sweep" had a special meaning of boosting and boosting morale, which was a task given to him by the times. But when I came back, I am a student, but I am in such a completely different environment. The Korean film market is becoming increasingly mature, and it can even be called an explosion. There are so many outstanding and old male actors around me. In fact, it is particularly difficult to win awards all year round with a work!"

The reporter who had already understood the other party's meaning quickly cooperated and nodded repeatedly.

"So, instead of having multiple rounds of competition with those strong peers who have little chance of winning, it is better to set a limit for yourself in advance. Of course, doing this is actually a slightly opportunistic behavior. After all, if you do this for a long time, the organizing committee will consider my behavioral habits during the review."

The reporter smiled in agreement, and couldn't help but admire the other party... Because the other party could not say such words, but it really made him admire the other party's heroic spirit and believed that the other party had the perseverance to fulfill his promise.

"Anyway, this is what happened." Kim Jong-ming concluded seriously. "It's really a shame for the audience and movie fans not to go to the Baixiang scene, and it's also a very sorry for the Baixiang organizing committee. Behind this behavior is the young man's slightly strong self-esteem. As for the appearance of this self-esteem, it is because of a little story about the young man and a teacher related to the story, which is so powerful that it forms a shadow over his head... I hope everyone understands it."

"So that's it." The reporter completely relaxed. "I think both the audience and the peers, or everyone should understand Mr. Kim Jong-ming... But since talking about this topic, does Mr. Kim Jong-ming have the idea of ​​a new work? Our newspaper noticed that the film and television production companies and entertainment stations under your name have been very active recently, investing a lot of money and energy, and then produced multiple works at the same time, but I didn't see your name appear in the work."

"This...investment is a business behavior, and it has to be counted as a company, while personal performance decisions are personal decisions. There is no direct relationship between the two." Kim Jong-ming could only say so hard. "More importantly, I haven't encountered a suitable script for the past six months..."

"So do you have any specific ideas?" Since the task assigned by the superiors has been completed, the reporter naturally started to get free and asked what an entertainment reporter should ask. "For example, if you are interested in a specific movie type or character type?"

"Oh." Kim Jong-ming suddenly felt a little bit of energy. "I feel very satisfied recently in variety shows, and it is said that there has been a bad reputation, so I have been thinking about whether to play a villain who bullies women..."

"oh oh?!"

“…”

“…”

The interview gradually improved, and it was not until the sky gradually darkened.

"Wood, come on." As soon as Jin Zhongming turned around, he was waved to the counter by Zheng's mother. "If you have something to ask you."
To be continued...
