Chapter 136 Big news!
"I thought you would be in a bad state after returning from half a year of fatigue?" An Shengji raised his head and looked at his proud disciple with a smile. "Why... I feel like you are a little radiant?"
"Who knows?" Jin Zhongming, who was sitting opposite the table, lowered his head and smiled dryly. "Maybe I am a person born with unlimited energy..."
"Stop talking nonsense!" An Shengji was almost amused. "I have noticed it for a long time. You are actually just relying on your youth to wander here. In fact, your health is not good at all. You get sick, have a cold, have a fever, and have stomach acid... are those pretending?"
Jin Zhongming stopped talking immediately.
"But I haven't seen you like this before." An Shengji looked like a person who came here. "After all, after half a year of closure, outsiders will never know what happened. Since someone can be decadent, you can naturally be excited."
Kim Jong-ming continued to laugh, but still didn't say anything.
"It's like those directors, why do they all look like crazy when they appear in the media during the film promotion period?" An Shengji's conversation has already opened, and it can be seen that his mood is a bit strange at the moment. "It's not that it takes about half a year for a drama to start from the beginning to the release of the film. They are either in a mess on the set or in a editing room all day long. If they don't contact the outside world for a long time, they will naturally appear out of place. But it doesn't matter, they will soon return to normal after returning to society..."
"That's true." Jin Zhongming rubbed his fingers and his chin, not knowing what he thought of. "However, not showing up for a long time is not all a disadvantage..."
“What about?”
"For example... outsiders can't see through you." Kim Jong-ming glanced out the window as he said. The sunshine in May is always so shining, even more so when it comes to the glass. "If you don't contact the outside world for a long time, people outside will not see through you, and then they will be cautious and afraid of you... I really felt a lot yesterday."
"Normal." An Shengji nodded. "I also heard that yesterday you felt a little bit like a show from the airport to the TV station when you came back. You obviously went to the TV station to participate in variety shows every week at this time last year. At that time, I didn't see them so cautious... If they were far away, some things would be born out of thin air."
"I won't talk about this anymore." Kim Jong-ming shook his head, as if he was not interested in the topic he raised. "What happened when the teacher called me to come back the day before yesterday? Can't wait?"
"I'm not afraid of you making a joke." An Shengji smiled bitterly. "It's not that I can't wait, but I'm a little worried that our movie will be released as planned as it was... Just say it, I was scared."
"Sunny?" Kim Jong-ming asked softly.
"That's right."
Kim Jong-ming leaned against the seat and nodded slightly, without any surprise. In fact, he knew quite well about his teacher. This Korean national actor, the most powerful figure in the Korean film industry, is all right. He needs to be capable, prestige, and connections. Now he has the money he has to help... Logically speaking, he should be the same as killing all sides. But in fact, every time An Shengji comes to an end, he always instinctively hesitates and lacks the momentum of a shot. For this point, let alone the recent incident of formulating exclusive contract templates, even going back to the time when the filmmakers guard the movie quota system, Kim Jong-ming can clearly detect the other party's personality.
Well, it can only be said to be personality, not flaws... After all, this is a modern society, not a life-and-death chaotic world. Being cautious in everything may not be a bad thing. But then again, as a young man, Kim Jong-ming always can't stand this way, so every time he will take the initiative to push his teacher and force the other party to make a decision!
"I admit that it's a good movie." After a pause, Kim Jong-ming began to convince his teacher. "Box office and reputation are destined to be phenomenal, but... I don't think it will affect us."
"You're so confident?"
"It's not confidence... it's about clarifying your thoughts." Kim Jong-ming replied frankly. "If a movie wants to influence another movie, it's nothing more than starting from two points. One is direct, forming a squeeze from box office and word of mouth; the other is forming a conflict in the social influence of the movie..."
"It makes sense, and I probably understand something you want to say." Ann Son-ki pointed at the table with his index finger. "You want to talk about the subject matter and the audience type, right?"
"That's right." Kim Jong-ming nodded. "If nothing else is said, whether the box office and reputation will have a rush will still depend on the audience and theme of the movie. If it was like when "Uncle" was released last year, it was constantly full of crime films and was starring male popular actors, it would definitely form a strong contrast effect, and the impact between them would also appear very severe, so the better the better, the worse the worse the bad." Speaking of this, Kim Jong-ming paused a little. "In fact, I have to admit that the reason why "Uncle" was hit last year was largely reflected..."
Ann Saint-ki raised his eyebrows.
"But this time it's different." Kim Jong-ming continued to persuade seriously. "This time, "Sunny" is just a film based on a female perspective, and it focuses on the youthful memories of seventy and eighty generations of women. When I went to the cinema yesterday, most of the screening halls were middle-aged women crying and laughing. What about our movies? They are all discussing social issues, and the audience is all adult men with political demands. Therefore, the box office and reputation of the two movies will not conflict at all..."
"That's right." Ann Sung-ki recognized this statement. "But... what about social influence? You also said that this is a phenomenal movie from the perspective of women. The topic of feminism is always a hot topic in society."
"I admit it." Kim Jong-ming nodded repeatedly. "Just like the teacher, the social and artistic discussions triggered by this film have just begun..."
"That……"
"But teacher, have you ever thought about it? Is the connotation of our movie discussing very low-end?" Kim Jong-ming couldn't help but smile. "Isn't your "Broken Arrow" accusing the entire Korean judicial system?"
"Don't confuse the concept." Ann Son-ki sighed helplessly. "What I'm worried about is that the discussions triggered by "Sunny" overshadow our movies, rather than worrying that their movies will be unresponsive..."
"What do you think of the finale of "Sunny"?" Kim Jong-ming turned his head and asked a very strange and outspoken question. "I mean, in the end, everyone's difficulties were solved because of the money left by the eldest sister... What do you think of this result?"
"What did you say in an interview with Movie Weekly yesterday?" An Shengji threw the question back.
"Of course I said this is a failure... What a beautiful thing, how can we solve everything with worldly things in the end?"
"What's the matter?" An Shengji asked calmly.
"Actually... I'm deliberately singing high-profile. After all, I'm a public figure, and singing high-profile is an instinct and a need. However, I deeply agree with the ending of the movie." Kim Jong-ming replied without hesitation. "Because this is the cruelty of reality... Money can solve too many problems. The tragedy of the heroines is that dreams are pulled into reality. If you want to get rid of it, you can only get redemption from the perspective of reality... If there is no money left by my elder sister Xia Chunhua, no matter how beautiful their past is, then... you should be angry or suffer, and you should be suffering."
"What the hell do you want to say?" An Shengji felt a little smell.
"I want to say... In South Korea, no matter how high the slogan of feminism is, with outstanding works like "Sunny", there are even a female president and female party leader in the future... it seems amazing. But in fact, no matter how high the slogan is, no matter how loud the voice is, most women in South Korea are still alive in this society as male accessories!" As he said, Kim Jong-ming took action. "This is the sad thing about South Korea. However, suspending sympathy for women and returning to our own topics, women's discussion of feminism can certainly become the focus of Korean society for a while, but that premise is that no men are discussing their issues widely... If there is, women may eventually swallow their words silently, and then turn around without saying a word to prepare coffee for the men who are talking big."
After saying that, Kim Jong-ming had no intention of forcing him, but just waited quietly for the other party to respond.
An Shengki immediately became silent and raised her head after a long time: "But if that is the case... I mean their opportunities are so rare. Shouldn't we take the initiative to avoid it? It can be considered as leaving more space for the difficult Korean women? Even if it's verbal space?"
Kim Jong-ming opened his mouth, and in an instant, some slightly complicated emotions surged up. To be honest, in the face of his teacher's...this mind or demeanor, he was actually a little ashamed and felt that he was too villain. He was even convinced by the other party for a time, and then prepared to agree.
However, Kim Jong-ming also understood that it was impossible, because the gears behind things had begun to turn, and the entire Korean society would immediately focus on some things, and these things were all real major events with the entire Korean society as the stage, far beyond the scope of movies. In this case, he and his teacher could only choose to follow the trend, so how could he leave some space for other movies?
"What's wrong?" Ann Shengji asked. "Do you know something I don't know?"
"Teacher..." Kim Jong-ming replied with a little difficulty. "Some things are not something we can reverse. It is from this month. I guess they are numbers. Look at it, and the government and the country will be shaken soon, and the earth will be turned upside down!"
An Shengji was slightly stunned, but then he reacted: "Has it started?"
"That's right." Kim Jong-ming nodded. "So, with us or not, "Sunny" is destined to be only half a month old!"
"Then forget it." An Shengji sighed. "Let's go with the flow!"
This is what Kim Jong-ming is waiting for.
However... in the days that followed in May, there was no feeling of storm that Kim Jong-ming described. In fact, the first few days of May were sunny and calm, and half of the Koreans were just praising "Sunny". After all, the artistic nature of this movie, box office performance and audience reputation reached a peak. It would be strange if Koreans didn't blow their urination.
However, on Wednesday, May 4, after the movie Weekly published Kim Jong-ming's long film review, Korean public opinion finally felt a little excited because Kim Jong-ming's accusations of the ending of the movie were against the trend in the words of praise.
Sure enough, the director of "Sunny" immediately jumped out. However, the director who debuted as "Extraordinary Anchor" in 2008 did not refute or look aggressive. On the contrary, he put on a Chen-ken attitude of explaining why he had to set so much and why he had to choose so much... Uh, he said it sincerely, and he also revealed such a thing at the end of the interview. The reason why he forced "Sunny" to be released in April due to the criticism of the Korean Film Revitalization Committee on the swearing words of the movie was actually because he and the producer CJ Films heard that the two movies starring Kim Jong-ming and Ahn Sung-ki would be released at the end of the month... "Sunny" is actually afraid of a car crash!
So the fun became big!
Actually, it depends on how Jiang Jiongzhe understood this. He said that he had a very good attitude and was trying to show goodwill to the two people on the Cube side. But... he insisted that he could make sense to use his good movie results and good reputation here.
But no matter what, since the words have been expressed, the next decision to interpret is definitely not Jiang Jiongzhe, a young director who is recognized in the industry as only a little older than Kim Jong-ming, but the ecstatic media!
Kang Hyung-chul mocked Kim Jong-ming and Ahn Sung-ki for not having released a new movie. Kim Jong-ming looked down on Kang Hyung-cheol’s new movie was touted, and CJ was slapped in the face without any confidence in "Sunny"... And there are people further analyzed in depth why Kim Jong-ming looked down on Kang Hyung-cheol? It must be because he felt that his "Those Years" was the precedent for youth films. Kang Hyung-cheol was picking up people! Will there be troubles between CJ and Kim Jong-ming next? After all, "Sunny" is so popular. How should you schedule the films for the new movies of Kim Jong-ming and Ahn Sung-ki be released at the end of the month? Should you first consider the economic interests of theaters, or consider the overall cooperation between CJ and Cube first? Remember when Kim Jong-ming returned to Seoul, he complained that his cooperation with CJ was unfair?
Anyway, this kind of discussion is not a personal attack, so it is hard for the parties involved to say anything. But then again, compared to CJ and Jiang Jiongzhe who came out to respond appropriately to the media and expressed their dissatisfaction with some reports, Kim Jong-ming did not make any unnecessary reactions to the matter at all.
In fact, the number of times Kim Jong-ming appeared in the public eye throughout early May... Well, it was just one time, that was that he served as the host of "apinknews". In addition, Kim Jong-ming really never showed up, so many media spread rumors that he was under pressure from "Sunny" and was nervously re-editing his movie. At noon on May 10, the official website of cube released the news that An Sung-ki's new movie "Broken Arrow" and Kim Jong-ming's new movie "The Furnace" will premiere at the end of the month, which seems to be inconsistent with this statement.
However, just as the media continued the east wind of "Sunny" thinking about how to not offend people and get attention, with the arrival of mid-May, some diverse news emerged one after another, and some unnaturally stole the limelight of "Sunny".
First, there is the annual Korean wave dream concert, which has to be divided into a little bit of sight no matter what.
Then, on the second day of the concert, the reporter photographed Kim Jong-ming at the airport for the second time. He drove to the airport to see Shika and Krystal off, that's all. The latter two were to go abroad with most of the company's artists to conduct a large-scale tour. This performance was so solemn and urgent that FX could clearly gain one or two more, but he also gave up his singing tour.
On May 17, the School of History of Seoul University in South Korea announced the list of this year's master's defense and date arrangements, and Kim Jong-ming was listed. To be honest, most of the previous rumors that Kim Jong-ming was not accustomed to "Sunny" were eliminated. Many netizens felt a sudden realization. It was not that they were a big shot and ignored you, but that there was really something important.
On May 18, just as netizens continued to discuss the issue of academic qualifications, another very serious issue suddenly started to be discussed in Seoul. The impact of this issue is so great that it is so related to the vital interests of everyone that many housewives even gave up the opportunity to go to the cinema with their best friends.
It turned out that on that afternoon, the Seoul Municipal Government announced the administrative order to adjust the free lunch in Seoul primary and secondary schools. You should know that whether primary and secondary school students with difficulties were originally in school, they would enjoy free lunch provided by the municipal government. Now, in order to reduce welfare expenses, Seoul Mayor Wu Sehun "has no choice" to propose a reform, that is, children from ordinary families will no longer enjoy the supply of free lunch except for those identified in need.
This issue is particularly serious for housewives, so they cannot turn their attention from "Sunny" and feminism to the issue of their children's three meals a day.
As a result, the big discussion was vigorously opened, and all kinds of weird committees and civic organizations were included. As the Seoul Municipal Government tried many times to pass this new rule, the Seoul Municipal Council was driven back by the Seoul Municipal Council. In desperation, on May 22, Wu Sehun announced in public that due to the stalemate of the matter and the vital interests of the people of Seoul, the referendum will be held next month on this matter, and the referendum will be decided after the summer vacation.
Now, the incident that caused a lot of troubles has subsided. Just as the media were about to split it into two and pay close attention to the commemoration of the second anniversary of Roh Moo-hyun's death tomorrow, and the entertainment section quickly came back and continued to hype "Sunny", which had already been viewed by 5 million moviegoers, a bigger news broke out unexpectedly!
On the evening of the day, after the memorial service of Roh Moo-hyun in Busan, the city he started, all the members of the MPs of the Dangwata Party, party tycoon, former colleagues of the former Blue House Roh Moo-hyun government, leaders of the various cities, and even social celebrities with stable political positions did not leave. Instead, they set off from Busan and came to a chicken farm at the foot of Liangsan Mountain, which is actually very close to Busan (you read it correctly). Then they invited the former Blue House Secretary Office director who had raised chickens here for several years, Moon Jae-in, the current consultant of the Dangwata Party, to run for election in 2012!
Of course Moon Jae-in couldn't just say anything! He was determined to be a hermit. If you don't believe it, look at the chicken farms that are jumping around!
However, no matter how power is there, the morally noble consultant could not resist half of the Korean boss walking on chicken shit in the chicken farm and visiting the cottage three times? Seeing these people crying on chicken shit, "Brother Wen doesn't come out, why are the people of the Han Dynasty?" What, "Former President Lu doesn't regard you as despicable, betray yourself and drag you to your funeral?" How could you not "devote your whole life until you die"? Even in the end, even Moon Jae-in's wife questioned her husband, asking him if he remembers the grief and anger when he stood in front of the spirit of former President Lu's?
‘Anyway, when I saw you standing there, I already thought that you would become the next Korean president!’ This is Mrs. Wen’s original words.
In short, with the persuasion of his old wife, Consul Wen also remembered the appearance of his old friend Roh Moo-hyun, and looked at his close comrades in the chicken farm. He finally decided to take on his political wish to make friends!
Therefore, the heir of Roh Moo-hyun, recognized by all South Korea, swore on the spot to break the manipulation of South Korea by a few privileged classes!
Now, everyone in the chicken farm was very happy, the Blue House and the Grand National Party headquarters in Yeouido were frightened, while the whole of South Korea was stunned!
On the 24th, Cube released another small notice on its official website. The film "Defense Attorney" produced by new director Yang Yuxi and starring Song Kanghao has been completed and will be released at an optional date.
However, except for a very small number of people who are specifically concerned about these news, all South Korea is staring at Mr. Moon Jae-in. The news will be released, not to mention that it is only released at an optional date?
But on May 27, just three days after the news was released, the Korean Financial News, which had a good relationship with Cube, suddenly broke the news that three new movies of Cube will be premiered at the same time, and the premiere will be held at the unprecedented Yeouido Korean Congress Hall!
The next day, the three major newspapers verified this news at the same time without any prior experience.
"This little bastard always wants to make a big news!" Li Xiuman panted and threw the newspaper on his desk. "Advisor Wen, Mayor Wu and "Sunny" couldn't suppress him!"
"Fortunately, all the artists were sent out." Kim Young-min next to him responded, touching his pounding chest. "Hurry up and issue a ban order! Before the matter is clear, everyone is not allowed to publicly publish any news other than the entertainment itself from today...especially Sika and Krystal... for the time being... try not to let them come back!"
