Chapter 282 The Birth of a Crazy Script (Part 1)

The idea is very direct and violent, but the reality is very backbone, because in the following days, almost everyone told Kim Jong-ming that there was no such thing that could blow up Mapo Bridge... The script existed, and there was no such thing in the script library of all film production companies.

From CJ to Cube, and even Shobo, they helped to check all the inventory copyright scripts with great face. There was no such script that could blow up Mapo Bridge.

Why? Of course, Kim Jong-ming knows the reason.

Speaking of several landmark buildings around Yeouido, Seoul, the Capitol Building, the headquarters of the three major TV stations, the 63 Building, the sk headquarters, the Pure Gospel Church, the Stock Exchange... Of course, there is also the Mapo Bridge. What are these buildings? Which of them does not represent the highest authority of this country? Don’t forget that even the Mapo Bridge was built by Samsung and the government at the time!

So, who would blow up such a bridge in the script?

That's it, but Jin Zhongming was like a turtle eating a weight, determined to do such a thing. There was no script library in major film production companies, so he actually started to try to make an appointment!

That's right, he began to recruit scripts in the circle in semi-public. In fact, there is nothing to do with this. scripts are the basis for a movie project establishment, and it is the first step... Without a script, how can you start a bomb?!

Kim Jong-ming first made a recruitment request to the Korean Film Screenwriters Association, and then he thought about it and issued a recruitment request to the Korean Directors Association. After all, all these directors have everything in their hearts, and it can even be said that most of the real good books were made by the directors. Of course, choosing the directors association's notebook means that you have to give up the position of director...

However, in the first few days, this recruitment did not attract much attention, because there have been too many people recruiting scripts recently! By the way, just this summer vacation in 2012, everyone had a premonition before the release of "The League of Thieves". After the release of this movie, almost everyone fully understood that after the Korean movies experienced a plunge, a trough, and a revival, they finally officially entered a new market prosperity period.

So, the directors and actors were ready to act; producers and production companies jumped up and down, connecting left and right; and a large amount of funds also poured into this market again, intending to make a quick money.

Let me say one more thing here. The reason why the Directors Association could not hold on before was certainly because of the great methods of Kim Jong-ming, but to a certain extent, it was also an important reason why he did not dare to go against the trend of the entire industry. Otherwise, what kind of theaters are in their hands, it delays everyone's money making, no matter what kind of movie godfather or yeast you are? Get out together!

In short, in this case, there are not too many people looking for scripts! Even in the outside world, it is not normal for Kim Jong-ming, who has finished filming the TV series, to recruit a decent movie script...

However, at this moment, as "Rogue of Thieves" officially crossed the 10 million viewers and continued to run wildly with a record-breaking feeling, suddenly someone made a little conspiracy theory interpretation of Kim Jong-ming's script recruitment!

You should know that "The League of Thieves" is a good co-production between China and South Korea, and the actors are also good at participating in the industry. The Jeon Ji-hyun and Kim Soo-hyun are all people in the trap of Kim Jong-ming, and even the director Choi Dong-wook has a close relationship with Kim Jong-ming himself. But even so, it cannot cover up this movie that is destined to leave a strong mark in the history of Korean movie watching. It is the reality of the CJ Film competitor Shobo.

That's right, Kim Jong-ming did something at the same time, such as "Please Answer 1997" is about to break the TV series ratings record of cable TV. So he used to boast about Haikou, saying that TVN would suppress the three major TV stations in variety shows and TV series from the moment he took over. Now it is no longer a crazy saying, that's a fact.

However, in the eyes of the arrogant Korean filmmakers, movies are movies, which are not comparable to TV series and variety shows? And even those ratings are very good, they should be put on Li Jae-bin's sister Li Mei-kyung, right? After all, before TVN TV was stripped out, they were always in charge of M... Li Jae-bin, who has been in charge of CJ Film for more than ten years, isn't there any rush?

Therefore, considering the international hotspot situation in 2012, looking at the weird request for commissioning such as the blow-up of Mapo Bridge, think about CJ Pictures since it fell into Kim Jong-ming's hands... Well, suddenly, there were rumors in the entire movie circle that Kim Jong-ming wanted to make a big news and was preparing to fight with "The Thieves Alliance" with a big anti-terrorism production! Or to make face comeback!

Do you believe it or not, I believe it anyway!

So, just as it is wrong, Kim Jong-ming's script recruitment suddenly became popular because no screenwriter or director hates big investments? So, big production, big costs, anti-terrorism, international cooperation, multiple protagonists... all kinds of "Robber League"-style scripts flocked.

However, it must be emphasized that there will be no main theme, because no Korean filmmaker will do main theme movies except war and sports genres.

In fact, no one has ever speculated maliciously, thinking that Kim Jong-ming might just want to make a main theme anti-terrorism film, because this can be given to a new aunt who has just as a gift in 2013... But Korean filmmakers don't have anything else, and they still have moral integrity against the government, so there is no script to flatter the government.

But even so, on the morning of the third day after the rumors broke out, the two associations also delivered a large number of scripts at the agreed time, which were stacked on Jin Zhongming's desk and became spectacular, attracting everyone's attention from the company. I really don't know when he will finish reading it.

However, Kim Jong-ming was able to stand it. He took out several company-affiliated writing workers and actually sat in his office and read these mountain scripts.

"Remember." Kim Jong-ming ordered the people who entered the office. "Don't have international colors, don't have those who are stationed in South Korea, don't have those who appear, and don't even have the military to do it. Except for the Mapo Bridge, the more exciting the bombs, the more priority it is... Don't throw them after picking them, and then sort them out in duplicate, one for CJ Li Zaibin, and one for Representative Zhang Enhe to see if you can find some good scripts to keep or buy them!"

After giving the order, everyone did not sit down, but looked at me and I looked at you...

"What's wrong?" Kim Jong-ming didn't understand why.

"That oppa." In the end, Chu Long couldn't help but step forward and explained. "We naturally understand how much fried it, but what is the thrill of fried it?"

"There are many buildings beside the Mapo Bridge?" Kim Jong-ming put down the script in his hand and sneered. "But the TV station, the church, the chaebol headquarters, the Capitol... Of course, blowing up these things is more exciting than blowing up residential buildings!"

Everyone suddenly realized it, but they couldn't help but mutter to themselves... Their boss was indeed stimulated by "The League of Thieves", and was so crazy that he wanted to take half of Yeouido to take action!

Even Chu Long stared at his boyfriend with some concern, and hesitated in his heart whether to persuade him to relax in private...

Of course, Kim Jong-ming was not crazy. He knew the rumors outside, but he was too lazy to pay attention to it because it could bring him a script... In a sense, he didn't want to pay attention to anything else before he was allowed to blow up the bridge!

It’s convenient for manpower. By the evening, such a large stack of scripts had been sorted out, and Kim Jong-ming leaned on his seat and looked at the selected scripts one by one... However, as the viewing window behind him turned from bright to colorful, he couldn’t find what he wanted!

"Is this all?" After putting down a script again, Kim Jong-ming finally spoke. He was not angry, but the atmosphere in the office seemed a little solidified.

"What does it mean?" someone asked carefully.

"After the struggle between the protagonist and the terrorist, the bomb was finally removed..."

The office was silent, and even Chulong didn't dare to speak.

"Didn't I say it? Blow up the Mapo Bridge!" Kim Jong-ming frowned and emphasized. "It's blowing up, not blowing up a railing, not blowing up a few cars, not blowing up half, it's blowing up directly!"

Still no one spoke.

"Then add another requirement." Kim Jong-ming took a deep breath. "The Mapo Bridge was blown off within ten minutes of the movie. It would be better if it was blown off directly when it was the first regular climax in five or six minutes! Now you answer me, after reading so many scripts, is there anyone who meets this requirement?"

"No."

“It’s true.”

“No one like this.”

The staff who were pulled to read the script shook their heads.

"That's it!" Jin Zhongming felt disappointed in his heart, and then lowered his head helplessly.

"Will Zhong Ming continue to collect scripts?" At this time, Zhang Enhe, a bearded man waiting outside the door, finally took the opportunity to push the door and come in. He came to receive scripts and happened to hear this conversation.

"If it's all like this, it won't be necessary!" Jin Zhongming suddenly raised his head and replied.

"Your request is so strange..." Zhang Enhe walked up to him helplessly and knocked on his desk. "Actually, many scripts are good!"

"But none of them meet my strange requirements."

"Actually, this kind of strange idea may not be necessary." Zhang Enhe tried hard to persuade. "Senior Choi Min-sik received a very good script, which is a gang undercover theme, authorized by "Infernal Affairs", and several protagonists are excellent. I brought the script, you can try to choose one..."

"Then I can only write it myself." Kim Jong-ming answered very neatly and seemed very tough.

"Is there a story outline?" Zhang Enhe asked tentatively. "If there is, it's not impossible to write. Many excellent scripts come from a simple story idea..."

"There is only the idea of ​​blowing up the bridge and the intention to release all the complex emotions." Kim Jong-ming replied frankly.

Zhang Enhe was speechless for a moment.

In fact, in the eyes of this man who is both in movies and in life, although the boy in front of him is dressed in a capable manner, calm expression, speaks simply and moves easily... but he is already in a guise inside.

An actor, perhaps a director, may have adapted a novel into a movie by himself, but this does not mean that the other party has the ability to write a complete script without any story concept.

So, Zhang Enhe put down the script he brought, and then took the rest of the script with other staff. In an instant, only Chu Long and Jin Zhongming were left in the office.

"oppa?" Chu Long called the other party worriedly. "Do you want to have a meal?"

"You go by yourself." Jin Zhongming, who was sitting there, raised his head and replied. "By the way, let the cafeteria give me a bento...I want to try writing the script."

It’s hard for Chu Long to say anything, so he had to leave. Jin Zhongming was soon left in the huge office.

However, it was precisely this feeling that after Long carefully brought the door, Jin Zhongming seemed to have returned to the night a few days ago.

The closed space, the emotions that are eager to come out, and there is also a wonderful feeling that is powerless but is bursting out. On the one hand, I want to suppress those emotions in your body, but on the other hand, I seem to urge you to release everything as much as possible.

Turning over the chair, the viewing window behind me was transparent, and the prosperity of the Gangnam region of Seoul and the view of the Han River were unobstructed, but a layer of glass locked everything in reality outside.

King Wen was imprisoned and played Zhou Yi... After a long period of no gains, Jin Zhongming inexplicably remembered this sentence. Then, he laughed out loud again. He just wanted to write a script for a commercial movie, so what qualifications do he have to compare this with his ancestors?!

In fact, it is not just that there is too much difference in the lonely philosophical spirit. What happened in the next two hours simply proved that Kim Jong-ming was useless in literary creation and he didn't even hold up a word!

Or maybe it's a little bit better. When Kim Young-soo knocked on the door and came in, the only thing Kim Jong-ming did was to read the script left by Jong Eun-hyuk... Don't say that, this story of "New World" adapted from "Infernal Affairs" is very stunning, and it feels very good to read. If Kim Jong-ming hadn't been determined to bomb the bridge, he would have really wanted to get it together!

"What's the matter with Representative Kim Young-soo looking for me?" Kim Jong-ming suppressed his anxiety in his heart, and he still seemed calm on the surface.

"I... just heard from Representative Jang Eun-he that you are conceiving a script." Kim Young-soo got straight to the point. "I also heard about your special requests, so I have some ideas to share with you..."

By the way, this is the difference between Jang Eun-hyuk and Kim Young-soo, the two Kim Jong-ming film production.

The former is an elder in private by his boss and has the kindness of leading the way, so he can still maintain his reserve and height in front of Kim Jong-ming, and can also say goodbye directly when he finds Kim Jong-ming's requests absurd and persistent.

The latter, to put it bluntly, Kim Young-soo was able to climb to this day, relying entirely on Kim Jong-ming's appreciation and promotion. Therefore, he could put down his figure and help his boss solve the problem without any scruples. Even if this problem is so weird that it makes people unable to start... he can try to trick it with his feet.

"Tell me." Kim Jong-ming didn't care about the other party's camp at this time. In fact, he was really at a loss.

"Representative." Kim Young-soo took a step forward and suggested with a little contempt. "You have two requirements, first, blow up the bridge; second, release the complex emotions...is it right?"

"That's right."

"The former is pressed for the time being," Kim Young-soo continued. "I felt very familiar when I heard the request from Representative Jang Eun-he. I thought for a long time, and it was just now that I remembered what happened. It turned out that when I was working on the backstage of dramas on the other side of the University Road, I heard an old actor using similar words to teach his younger generations... He said at the time that dramas, movies, and TV series, the more you need to brew, the more intense the emotions you need to brew, and the more you move forward, the more intense the emotional release process..."

"It makes sense." Kim Jong-ming immediately became interested. "This is actually an alternative statement about the strength of performance. Just as the performance of the movie actors far exceeds that of the TV actors, the performance of the drama actors is indeed stronger than the performance of the movie actors. And in my request, let alone the bombing of the bridge or the complexity of the relationship, just talking about the intensity of the release of the feelings, it is indeed a pursuit of the strength of the performance."

"So have you ever wondered why this is the case?"

"Time and space." Of course, Kim Jong-ming is not a fool. Even if he gets into a guile, it is just an obsession in his heart and does not delay his thinking ability. So after a moment of thinking, he came up with the correct answer. "The reason why movies are more powerful than TV series is because of space limitations. The same story has dozens of episodes to tell slowly, but the movie only leaves the actors with a very short time to explain it. Therefore, a qualified movie actor naturally has more feelings in the performance and is released more intensely. As for drama, it is a step further, because compared to movies, it not only has the same short time requirements, but also the space limitations. Movies can use a large number of outdoor scenes and props, but the drama only has a simple stage, which requires drama actors to bear more things... I understand what you mean!"

At this point, Kim Jong-ming suddenly stood up: "What do you mean...I need to design a closed performance space similar to a drama stage?"

"Old Boy!" Kim Young-soo reminded with a smile. "Isn't the performance of Senior Choi Min-sik in "Old Boy" the intense catharsis of the feelings you are pursuing? Why is this? Because for a long plot, he was confined to a closed space."

"I do have this feeling." Kim Jong-ming began to walk around the desk. "It really needs a closed-minded suppression to squeeze out this feeling. This feeling is not only the actor's personal, but also the theme of the movie... You really wake up the dreamer in one sentence."

"But the problem is not that simple." Kim Young-soo, who was praised, was not anxious to make a contribution, but couldn't help but sigh. "I only thought of this step, but further down, I was trapped by your request... Using space to compress feelings will certainly make them intense, but how can I make this feeling more complicated at the same time?"

"It requires severe and frequent plot twists." Kim Jong-ming responded instinctively. "But how can this violent plot twist be reflected in a small space?"

"That's right." Kim Young-soo nodded. "And bombing the bridge, bombing the bridge itself also means a big picture and a big scene... So, how can you explain a big picture in a closed and narrow space?"

Jin Zhongming was silent for this. He stopped walking around the circle and stared at the viewing glass helplessly.

Kim Young-soo completely reminded himself that these two contradictions are the real problem of his weird script requirements, and it is also the real reason why so many scripts are not favored by me... The settings and time of the bombing bridge can be changed at will, and there are many scripts with frequent plot twists, but if you want to take into account both at the same time, you will also have an explosion in a depressing environment... that is really too difficult!

"Actually, now I think about it." Kim Young-soo smiled bitterly. "The reason why Zhang Enhe retreated was probably because he vaguely saw through these two contradictions? It means that you think about it here, and I have been thinking about it for a long time in the office, but I am really powerless. So if it really doesn't work, we..."

"However, I still don't want to retreat." Kim Jong-ming, staring at the night view outside the window with his hands behind his back, suddenly chuckled and interrupted the other party's persuasion. Then he took two steps forward, stretched out his right hand and gently tapped the hard viewing glass in front of him. "Because I have a good idea... Representative Kim Young-soo, come here."

Kim Young-soo was unclear, but he still came to the huge viewing window as he said.

"Clang! Clang!" Jin Zhongming smiled nervously, and tapped the viewing window in front of him again, then pointed his hand at the glass in front. "Did you see it?"

"What?" Kim Young-soo was still unclear.

"Is this office an enclosed space?" Jin Zhongming pointed at his feet.

"yes!"

"But from here, you can see the East Lake Bridge in my house..." Jin Zhongming pointed to the glass window again.

"yes……"

"Then, where can I see the Mapo Bridge?"

“…”
