Chapter 289 "healing camp" (1)(1/2)
ps: The Thirteenth League... Well, the Thirteenth League of Singapore Wolves was actually sleeping on the keyboard yesterday, but after being woken up in the middle of the night, I thought that there was a new leader, so there was no reason not to update... So I stayed up for half a night and counted a chapter... I was very sorry.
—I am from Singapore’s dividing line—
One Saturday afternoon in mid-October, a thin old man wearing glasses was fiddling with a barbecue rack alone on the huge Han River beach. Behind him were two large tents, and next to him, a slightly younger man with glasses was also guarding a small stove. At this moment, a pot of water on the stove seemed to be boiling.
After a while, as water vapor gushed out of the teapot's spout, the young man with glasses greeted something in the tent. Then, a woman with capable short hair walked over with a few freshly washed tea cups...
Tsk tsk, just like this, it looks a bit like a family going out for an autumn outing! However, looking at the extremely disagreeable carts, seven or eight, cameras, and five or six types of microphones, plus dozens of people of all kinds squatting on both sides of the tent... the meaning of this recording program is too obvious.
"The autumn is so cool, Zhong Ming!" At this moment, watching a man wearing a black jacket slowly pace along the river embankment in the distance, the old man Li Jingkui finally put down the barbecue grill in his hand and greeted him weakly.
Jin Zhongming frowned and looked at the gloomy clouds above his head, and then felt the cool breeze blowing from the Han River. After thinking about it, he could only nod in agreement: "Oh, senior is right, the autumn air is clear and cool."
"The autumn is clear and the air is cool, and we will come out for barbecue. Today we have specially prepared high-end Korean beef and beer for you, and there are high-end teas for you in the afternoon... Our Miss Sung Yuli made it myself." Jin Jidong also stood up next to the stove with his glasses in his hand.
"Is it specially prepared for me?" Kim Jong-ming adopted a slightly vigilant attitude.
"What's your expression?" Jin Jidong wanted to laugh a little. "I heard that you have spent all the funds for the second half of the year. I'll tell you, even if it's the next issue of Girls' Generation, you have to cook ramen for them!"
"Yes, it's almost time to change its name to "Kim Jong-ming's Autumn Barbecue"!" Sung Yu-ri was also a little helpless. "The program team has never been so generous."
"I still understand how short my mouth is." As he spoke, Kim Jong-ming had already come to his eyes. He saluted Lee Jingkui a little, then crossed Kim Ji-dong and directly lifted the freshener box placed on the edge of the tent. "What a great Korean beef? How much ingredients do you have to give to you after eating this thing?"
"Just as you please." Li Jingkui responded with an introspection. "Just as you please, today I just chat casually, drink some tea and have a breeze first, and then barbecue in the evening..."
"The wool comes from the sheep, which is like I have never been on a conversation show." Kim Jong-ming looked helpless, but he still sat down on the reserved seat next to him. It can be seen that he really wanted to have a good rest.
"What's wrong with the waist?" Jin Jidong, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly interrupted and asked. He noticed that the other party instinctively had a protective action when he sat down.
"As for the recent movies, there was a flying action in the last few scenes, and I accidentally twisted it." Jin Zhongming replied casually.
"No problem?"
"fine."
After a simple question and answer, Kim Jong-ming suddenly laughed out loud with Kim Jong-dong.
"This is quite relevant." Sung Yuri laughed at the so-called high-end tea. "HP! Your waist should be ready when you go back."
"And it's also a waste of the opening remarks." Li Jingkui also shook his head and sat down. "Why don't we just start with the movie?"
"This lady is here. Today's theme is the latest movie... Thank you." Kim Jong-ming said while taking the hot tea handed over by Sung Yoo-ri. "With her here, at least the information you asked is still very good, right?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Sung Yoo-ri finally sat down after putting down the tea. "I am very professional. Unless it is a question that I am very curious about myself, I will never ask any questions about the plot here..."
"It doesn't matter. As long as it's not spoiled in the core plot, I can accept everyone." Kim Jong-ming lie comfortably on the camping chair, showing a attitude of Ren Zai Ren-che.
"Then let's start." Li Jingkui picked up the tea casually, but immediately put it back with a scalding. "From the movie, I'll get straight to the point..."
"Why!"
"Have you watched our show before? How do you think of our "HP"?"
“…”
“Is it difficult to speak?”
"It's really hard to say." Kim Jong-ming finally came back to his senses and took on the question of "righteousness". "Because I've never paid attention to this show. This time, after accepting the invitation from Senior Sung Yu-ri, I roughly listened to her talk about this show on the set. It was then that I realized that Senior and Brother Jidong were all here..."
"I'm really ugly." Li Jingkui laughed dryly.
"The weather is getting brighter and brighter." Under the increasingly gloomy clouds, Jin Zhongming put on a pergola in his hand and looked at the Han River in front of him with a smile. "It's a good weather for barbecue!"
"Don't talk about this topic anymore. If this continues, everyone will be hurt..." Sung Yu-ri made a fuss helplessly. "Are you going to talk about a movie?"
"Then let's talk about the movie." Kim Jidong followed with his eyes narrowed. "I heard from Yuli that the movie Zhong Ming's film took only one and a half months from being completed with inspiration, creating scripts, selecting directors, recruiting venues, recruiting actors, and including the filming of the entire movie?"
"No." Kim Jong-ming shook his head immediately. "This movie still requires a lot of CG special effects, and it is still far from the statement that the whole movie was finished!"
"But the actor's role has ended, right? It also includes the creation of the script and the whole story of forming the crew... It's really scary for a month and a half!"
"First of all, this is indeed the shortest filming period I have ever encountered." Kim Jong-ming took off his black-framed glasses and rubbed his eyes, which were still a little tired. "But there are many reasons, including the help of director Kim Young-soo when creating the script; everyone is willing to give face when recruiting actors; and our cube company's own production and reaction ability is also commendable..."
"But even so, you should be very tired after filming a movie in a month and a half, right?" Li Jingkui didn't want to hear the other party telling him what a fake, but went straight to attack. "As far as I know, you have been living in KBS during the filming..."
"Oh." Kim Jong-ming nodded. "This is a fact."
"Why not go home?" Li Jingkui asked in confusion. "KBS should be only half an hour's drive from your home..."
"First of all, it is convenient for rehearsing the lines." Kim Jong-ming shook his head helplessly. "I play a news anchor, and I have to recite and figure out my own lines in advance every day..."
"oh!"
"Then, I was a little bit involved during the filming, so every time I finished filming, I felt a little bit in the role. The explosion-like negative emotions and pressure really stuck to me. I really don't want my family to see me like that, especially Krystal will take the college entrance examination next month. In fact, I didn't even dare to go to "R" because I was afraid of having that kind of mood. If I counted, I have already asked for 6 episodes of the show for a while. I hope I can face it in a good state in the next episode..."
"I'm wrong. There is no Mid-Autumn Festival in the middle." Kim Jidong reminded him a little. "There was also a few days ago, Professor An Cheol-soo abandoned the election and instead supported Moon Jae-in's adviser. The presidential candidates began to register, and there were no variety shows on that weekend..."
"Wait a minute." Kim Jong-ming suddenly couldn't help laughing. "Is the Mid-Autumn Festival already over?"
"Have you been in this state already bad?" Li Jingkui was speechless.
"To be honest," Kim Jong-ming replied a little embarrassedly. "Even if you stay in KBS, if you don't drink two bottles of soju every night, I will simply not be able to sleep, and it's already that way... I have felt that my alcohol tolerance has increased in the past month and a half. How can I worry about the Mid-Autumn Festival in this state?"
"Is it really that way?" Li Jingkui was no longer speechless this time, but was completely surprised. "When I was filming "Masked Dahu", I spent all my money in it and told people that I retired if the movie was not successful... Under that pressure, I was just half a bottle of soju every night..."
"Maybe it's because my senior is old and I'm in poor health." Kim Jong-ming commented seriously. "I can only sleep with two bottles..."
"Have you seen it?" Kim Jidong turned around and cast a consultative look at Sung Yoo-ri.
"I've seen it." Sung Yu-ri nodded with emotion. "Since filming started three or five days ago, when he came to the set to make up in the morning, he was usually rehearsing himself, and at that time he felt like he was drunk. Later, when I had the most scenes, his emotions were so strong that he could not sleep. Then everyone in the crew knew that he could not sleep without drinking... In fact, including the Mid-Autumn Festival and so on, no one dared to tell him that he accompanied him to film the scene normally during the day."
"I feel so embarrassed, I'm really sorry for everyone." Kim Jong-ming nodded apologetically.
"Why does it sound like the plot doesn't seem to be very pleasing?" Kim Jidong couldn't help asking. "It's all negative emotions."
"The plot is very tense, but the character Zhong Ming keeps changing emotions throughout the movie, accumulating emotions, and is only released at the last moment... That's a bit tormenting." Sung Yu-ri wants to defend the movie anyway, this is her rare movie role.
"Actually, the shooting speed has something to do with this emotion." Kim Jong-ming seemed to have thought of something. "It can't be said that it's all bad things... First of all, an actor is deeply involved in the role, which makes shooting rarely go wrong; secondly, the splitting technique we use when shooting is divided according to the emotions that the protagonist needs to express. We shoot a set of emotions every week, just like KBS employees, work during the day, shoot for five hours, and leave the rest to ourselves to figure out..."
"This is really new!" Li Jingkui has also made movies, and is not an amateur. "But are there so many emotional changes?"
"Yes." Kim Jong-ming replied affirmatively. "Look, at first it was arrogance and hypocrisy, then cruelty and excitement, then panic and panic, and then sadness and anger and powerlessness. In the later stage, despair and collapse, and then in the end, there was another shattered hope and hope, which was really good six weeks! But in the end, it took another three more days to shoot the long shot in the finale... There must be a minute and a half long shot, where the emotions of the characters were completely released, and I could only talk to you like a normal person on this cool autumn day."
"It aroused my curiosity...at least this character is very interesting." Jin Jidong interrupted at the right time. "I will definitely go and see it..."
"Jung Ming can win the Best Actor again this time!" Sung Yuri suddenly said something that didn't look like the host. "I felt this way on the set. He felt that his hair and the dust on his face were full of performance strength... He really interpreted and controlled the characters' emotions to the extreme!"
"Can you win the Actor Award?" Li Jingkui narrowed his eyes and calmly dug a hole.
"At least I can say that my performance is at the level of the best actor!" Kim Jong-ming explained his confidence without vaguely, but avoided the trap in the other party's words. "I personally feel that this time is no worse than "Uncle"..."
"How do you let others live?" Li Jingkui immediately laughed. "Is the big clock award almost?"
"End of the month."
"Do you have any ideas at the end of the month?" Li Jingkui raised his legs and continued to bewitch him. "If you are doing CG in the later stage, try your best. It should be OK to release before the end of the month, right? Maybe a new actor will be included at the end of the month."
"No." Kim Jong-ming shook his head repeatedly. "Some things must be perfect. I have worked hard to make this point. How could I relax in post-production? I guess I will have to wait for another two or three months, until the CG is finished, the editing is completed, and the review is over. I guess... it will be released just before and after the election voting!"
"Cough!" Jin Jidong suddenly coughed dryly. "Why do you mean it's right? The movie has nothing to do with that?"
"Just take advantage of the popularity." Kim Jong-ming replied jokingly.
"What does it mean?" Kim Jidong suddenly noticed that even Sung Yuri smiled.
"I won't tell you." Sung Yu-ri naturally refused to say more.
"There's nothing to hide." Kim Jong-ming shook his head and smiled. "To be honest, I collapsed the Congress Hall in the movie..."
Jin Jidong was stunned.
"Is cg production the meaning of making this?" Li Jingkui also suddenly realized. "I just said that our Yuli said that the movie is a plot crime movie every day, but I kept muttering, why do crime drama movies still need to make cg? That can be considered a terrorist attack, right?"
"The name of the movie is "Horror Live"!" Kim Jong-ming was not ready to hide it. "It's about terrorists bombing the building, and then the character I played was brought in... facing the bomb threat!"
"So the pressure is so high that I drink." Jin Jidong suddenly realized. "I felt everything suddenly became clear..."
Kim Jong-ming and Sung Yoo-ri looked at each other, just smiled, but didn't say anything else.
"In that case, I mean since I am not going to win the new movie to win the Big Bell Award or even the Qinglong Award at the end of the year, then there are so many movies in the Big Bell Award this year, which one is good for? Who is optimistic about winning the award?" Lee Jingkui is a mature actor, and Kim Jidong is still suddenly enlightened. He already realized that Kim Jong-ming and Sung Yu-ri are not planning to introduce too much in the plot, so he naturally raised some other 'position' questions.
"I know the last few movies, but I haven't watched them..." Kim Jong-ming smiled a little tiredly. "Whether it is "The Double-Face King" with the best box office momentum now or "The Holy Sorrow" director Kim Ki-dou is as controversial as ever, I haven't watched them. You ask me to guess, I can't guess it either. And... I'm not going to attend the recent Da Zhong Awards, but I'm going to go to Busan to attend the Busan Film Festival and come back to rest for a while. I'm so tired recently."
"It's understandable." Li Jingkui nodded. "But we have prepared two installments for you... It's impossible to just let you go."
"I had expected it." Kim Jong-ming nodded again. "By asking, what's outside the movie, what's inside the movie, what's in business, what's in the relationship... just ask!"
"You are called a dead pig and you are not afraid of boiling water." Li Jingkui shook his head helplessly.
"Actually, when it comes to movies, I do have such a little doubt." Sung Yu-ri suddenly raised his hand and inserted it in. "I saved it in my stomach during the filming, but I didn't dare to ask about your condition at all..."
"That's right." Jin Zhongming signaled casually, and at the same time picked up the tea that had become a little hot... The wind on the Han River was getting stronger again, and it was a little cold.
"In the plot." Sung Yuri emphasized.
"That's just asking." Kim Jong-ming didn't care.
"Why..." Sung Yuri paused for a moment, as if he wanted to emphasize his tone. "Why must senior Yoo Jae-suk die in the plot?"
The SBS staff on both sides suddenly became turbulent, while Kim Jong-ming narrowed his eyes and fixed it there.
"What's the matter?" Jin Jidong was stunned for a moment and didn't react.
"Wait a minute, this question is very interesting." Lee Kyung-kui also became interested. "Do you kill Yoo Jae-suk in the movie? Or Yoo Jae-suk's role."
To be continued...
