More than an hour later, in the reception area in front of Kim Jong-ming's office, a group of people sat around a coffee table. Looking closely, the people who came to the scene at this time were no longer the people who Kim Jong-ming had verbally invited, because in the middle he added the chairman of the Film Revitalization Committee, the nominal organizer of this Da Zhong Award, and another heroine of Kim Hye-soo, the male protagonist Kim Yoon-suk, and also invited An Sung-ki as an agent...

In short, the parties involved who can be invited for this matter have basically come, and those who are not involved have basically come.

"That's it." I don't know if it's an illusion, but Li Zaibin's face was no longer as anxious and uneasy as before, and he seemed to have a little more confidence in his speech. After repeating what he did on his side according to Kim Jong-ming's request, he actually emphasized again. "In short, we have not done anything out of the ordinary. The most direct thing is to let Mr. Lee Byung-hun and Miss Han Hyo-joo organize a media breakfast meeting while the movie was announced, and only invited more than a dozen people... I think the problem is not with us!"

The scene fell silent for a while, and Li Zaibin's righteousness made most of the other party feel a little annoyed.

By the way, the group of people in "Rogue of Thieves" originally thought that this time they came because the other party realized that they had done too much under the pressure of the outside world, so they wanted to be soft-hearted in private and let themselves cooperate with public relations outside. In fact, they didn't want to let the media fan the flames. Then they wouldn't say that they wouldn't be able to fall into anything if they were just a knife. They would be held grudge against by the group opposite that monopolizes theaters and film and television production giants. That would be a problem. So, they came here barely.

But as soon as I sat down, I heard Li Zaibin’s domineering statement that “it’s not my fault”… It’s not your fault, is it still with us?

Our record-breaking "Rogue of Thieves" only won the best female teammate?

However, after looking at Jin Zhongming, who was sitting aside with a normal expression, several of the people were angry but didn't know how to speak, because they were inevitably afraid that they would burst out something bad to say when they opened their mouths.

"I'll say one thing, too." Zheng Jinzhou has been in a state of great trouble recently. He took over the hosting rights of the Dazhong Award for the first time. He changed the time and was one of the same ones. But he thought that this kind of thing happened these days. The media almost annoyed him. "Everyone, everyone now says that I personally teach you privately... But in fact, what's the situation? As an insider, you should understand that at least I can't do this in the program. To put it bluntly, do those judges listen to me?"

These two sentences made a little turbulent in the reception room, because although Zheng Jinzhou's intention to shirk in and out was very obvious, this was the truth... As this guy said, everyone here was an insider, and everyone knew the process of the Da Zhong Award.

According to the rules, each award is generated by group voting and is independent of each other. It is usually the night before the ceremony. The envelope will be handed over to Zheng Jinzhou on the afternoon of the ceremony. If he really wants to give it to him privately, he may have simply replaced the envelopes during that period... But if that is the case, how could so many people in the Filmmakers Association not notice it? How could it be that it would not make a fuss?

In fact, everyone figured it out from the beginning, that is, this result does meet the general voting results, and the problem can only lie before the judges vote... But in that case, if Li Zaibin had not taken the blame, how could such a weird result be possible?

"After all the time, this result is definitely abnormal." As the director of "The Thieves Alliance", Choi Dong-hoon finally couldn't help but speak. "So there must be something wrong with it in any link... If everyone has no responsibility, that's what you mean by deceiving yourself."

"Yes." Zheng Jinzhou quickly echoed after picking himself out. "Now the trouble is getting bigger and bigger. Yesterday, the two masters, the Zhongyi and Dongya Ilbo, had to take this mess to the general election, and they just pointed at their noses and scolded our Film Revitalization Committee and Zhong Ming for "private mutual education within the conservative camp"! If they really had a political label on them, it would be of no benefit to anyone. So while the college entrance examination, public opinion will definitely slow down. Let's try to figure out the matter as much as possible..."

As soon as this statement was made, it was fine for others, but Kim Hye-soo nodded slowly and seriously. Because as one of the most famous supporters of the In-Circle Ding Cooking Pi, her political stance is very stable, so if this matter is really politically labeled, it must have started from herself, Kim Jong-ming opposite and the Film Revitalization Committee.

If that is true, it would be fine, because I couldn't avoid it... But what would these colleagues in the film industry think? I just made a movie and got dragged down from the muddy waters. Who dares to cooperate with you in the future?

"Zhong Ming." An Shengji shouted, obviously asking his students to speak out.

"I just thought about it." The teacher was determined, and Jin Zhongming, who had been blindly speaking, finally spoke. "First of all, the problem still needs to be solved. It is not about giving an explanation to this newspaper or that newspaper, but the most important thing is to give yourself an explanation..."

Now, whether it was pretending or real, everyone became serious.

"Secondly, after thinking about it, such an extreme result occurred under the system of the Big Bell Awards. This means that there must be problems in most of the links, and then many inevitable factors are accidentally superimposed to this." At this point, Jin Zhongming looked around at the reception room. "Let's open the skylight and say something bright. There are too many people on the jury, and I'm afraid I can't find them, but no one here can escape... It's really not possible. Let's analyze each award and each award!"

Choi Dongxun was obviously a little unhappy: "That's not the case. This time your public relations are stronger, and we are convinced that some awards are given to you..."

"Which awards are the most outrageous?" Kim Jong-ming simply answered. "Director Cui agreed directly..."

"The best director is the most outrageous!" The person who spoke was An Shengji, who had a cleaner position. "Is this the truth?"

"Yes." Kim Jong-ming thought about it for a moment but frowned slightly. By the way, he finally understood why Choi Dong-wook was the most angry. You know, President Liu Zhenxun of Showbox has never spoken. "So let's go back and keep up, President Li Jae-bin, how much effort did you put into this award during public relations?"

"Although it is mainly to cast a large net, this award is the most powerful one." Li Zaibin responded calmly.

Cui Dongxu immediately let out a long sigh, and it was obvious that he was still very depressed about losing this best director.

However, Lee Jae-bin was not afraid and even made a statement: "From the perspective of our producers, of course we have to do our best for our films. "The Double-Face King" is actually very strong in all aspects, but the weakest in the position of director. Whether it is to face director Choi Dong-wook or director Kim Ki-dou, it is a very obvious disadvantage. Even a month ago, the media defined this award as the ultimate competition between commercial and artistic films! But sitting in my position, would you have to watch Director Qiu Changmin, who has worked hard for several months, follow these two people to accompany them?"

Choi Dongxun wanted to speak but stopped.

"Director Choi, don't be angry." Kim Jong-ming raised his eyebrows slightly. "After saying this, I have a little understanding of how the award for Best Director came from..."

Everyone was stunned.

"Actually, it's a very simple truth. But you were all emotional when you thought about it before, and were encouraged by the media, so you didn't notice the truth." Kim Jong-ming replied helplessly. "Although this is unfair to Director Qiu Changmin, it is obvious that the Directors Association is in a dilemma between Kim Ki-de and Director Choi, and finally made Director Qiu Changmin get a bargain."

Choi Dong-hoon's expression changed, but he immediately laughed like a self-deprecating... No, Kim Jong-ming reminded him immediately agreed with this statement.

By the way, Choi Dong-hoon used the power of movie-watching records to compete for the Best Director of the Big Bell Awards, but it was not favored at the beginning, but of course it was not because of Qiu Changmin, but because he also had an extremely strong competitor, Kim Ki-de... The latter had a Venetian Golden Lion in his hand to keep a house there!

However, although Kim Ki-dok has always been a sensation in Europe, he is basically hated by everyone in this acre of three-point land in South Korea... From the official to the public, from the publisher to the producer, no one likes him! However, the one who hates him the most and rejects him the most is the Korean directors!

Why? The conflict was too far at the beginning, so I won’t say much. Just talk about the vicious cycle of these years: Generally speaking, this guy was rejected by the entire Korean film industry in South Korea. He could not find money before filming, and he could not find an actor when filming, and after filming, he could not find a cinema. Finally, he was often forced to spend his wallet and play a symbolic moment in a cinema. It was also said that he was so miserable! However, when he turned to Europe, he immediately became the pearl of European film colleagues. Not to mention the awards, but the most hateful thing about this guy was that he was condescending to others after winning the awards in Europe... While telling people how he was persecuted by the entire Korean film colleagues in South Korea, he did not forget to open a map cannon to mock them, but Koreans still recognized the European awards, so at this time most Korean colleagues had to pinch their noses and endure it, and then wait for him to come back and "isolate" him even more excessively!

Time and time again, coupled with the bad habits between literati, the hatred between the two sides has become more and more irreconcilable... In this state, it would be strange if the Directors Association could willingly give him this best director!

And this is the root of Choi Dongxun's previous confidence.

However, if you really think from the perspective of others, you will find that Kim Ki-dou will have a big problem for the people on the jury. If you give Kim Ki-dou this award, it would be like slapping yourself in the mouth, and no one is that cheap! But if you ignore him and choose a business director Choi Dong-hoon, who has a clear image of opposition to Kim Ki-dou, it will seem too targeted!

After all, Kim Ki-dok won the Golden Lion Award this time, which was the best result of Asian films in five years (five years ago, Ang Lee's erotic precept), and no one felt good about "persecution" the other party.

At this time, Li Zaibin went to Qiu Changmin's public relations that no one had ever thought about before.

"I have nothing to say!" Choi Dong-hoon waved his hand, tilted his head and slumped on the sofa in the reception room. Although he was still unhappy, he had already had an affair... If he was still angry, he was also going to be for Kim Ki-dok, the public enemy of Korean movies.

What's this? Your Kim Ki-duk's movie is an art film, so you have to deny that I have a commercial film?!

"Okay, except for the most controversial director, what else is there?" Kim Jong-ming continued to ask slowly.

"The other awards... to be honest, although "The Two-Faced King" won fifteen awards this time, except for the best director, it seems that any other awards are still not bad." Zheng Jinzhou raised his legs and analyzed seriously. "But the doubts from the outside world are here. Although it is said alone, it is a bit too much to add each one to this movie... Especially for the technical awards, there are no one in ten technical awards. I watched the crew get up again and again in the audience and felt something was going to happen, because the discussion came out!"

"That's it." Lee Byung-hun also interrupted. "At the end of the day, there was no applause, and the audience started laughing. In the end, there were boos for the two awards..."

"Yes." Kim Jong-ming responded worriedly with his chin. "This is what I can't figure out. Ten technical awards, although it's basically a competition between two movies, one side is full of rounds, and I can't say the word "coincidence". But President Li Jae-bin repeatedly assured me that he didn't have a black public relations. What's going on? Is it really like what Senior Lee Byung-hun said before, Korean filmmakers now have to look at my eyes, so when they see a movie that is CJ, they want to sell it for me? Isn't it right?"

"This matter is probably related to Representative Kim." Liu Zhenxun, the president of showbox, who kept silent as soon as he came in, finally spoke with a strange expression under the reflection of Kim Jong-ming's black-framed glasses.

"President Liu, don't talk nonsense." Jin Zhongming shook his head repeatedly. "Even if they are willing to sell well, they will not be able to do this. Unless I find people from several major associations to threaten and induce them... What do you think I will do that?"

"Representative Kim definitely won't." Liu Zhenxun smiled bitterly. "I didn't say you would do this. I mean... Please see if there is such a possibility. For example, if we showbox considers that we will cooperate with Representative Kim's theater chain in the future, we will take the initiative to give up public relations?"

The whole hall was silent.

"I'm not to hide it from you." Liu Zhenxun continued to smile bitterly. "Actually, when the matter came out, I had already guessed the accident behind this storm. It was just that I was in my position. I was really embarrassed to speak... "The Thieves Alliance" broke the box office record. On the one hand, it was President Li Jae-bin's nervousness, and on the other hand, it was our showbox's complacent ambition, which was a big gap in attitude. Then at this time, both sides had to consider Mr. Kim Jong-ming's new position. For President Li Jae-bin, for President Li Jae-bin, it was a big gap in his attitude. Then at this time, both sides had to consider Mr. Kim Jong-ming's new position.

He needs to prove himself to Mr. Kim Jong-ming as soon as possible, so the PR efforts are inevitably a little stronger; for us showbox, competing with CJ Pictures is one thing, but cooperating with the theaters under Kim Jong-ming is another thing... Everyone, our showbox's main distribution channel has been Meijia Cinemas for a long time. Until now, Haoliyou Group is still the second shareholder of Meijia and Showbox. We don't want to embarrass Mr. Kim Jong-ming, after all, this is his first battle after acquiring CJ Pictures!"

"You all think too much!" Jin Zhongming glared speechlessly.

"Yes!" Liu Zhenxun earnestly accepted this evaluation. "Now it seems that we and President Li Zaibin are both overthinking, and in the end they have caused you unnecessary trouble..."

"But if this is the case, it seems that it makes sense, right?" Kim Yoon-suk, the oldest and most introverted actor among the actors present in "The League of Thieves", finally said something. "One has risen and the other has declined, and costume dramas can indeed better reflect the level of the film industry... Such a thing still gives people a feeling that it is too accidental, but at least it makes sense."

"really."

"That's right."

Kim Hye-soo and Jeon Ji-hyun also quickly agreed.

"Then let's continue!" Seeing that Ahn Sung-ki and Choi Dong-hoon both reluctantly nodded, Kim Jong-ming continued the topic. "What's going on with the actor award?"

"Is there any problem with the actor award?" Zheng Jinzhou was shocked and immediately retorted.

"Is it really okay to win the actor?" Kim Yoon-seok also smiled awkwardly, obviously a little uneasy. "I am very convinced that one person plays two roles."

"That's it." Kim Jong-ming frowned slightly. "But have you ever thought about it. Compared with each other awards, the corresponding film associations, the actor awards are led by the media and the audience. Among them, the former will instinctively balance, while the latter will do whatever they want... So why are the awards for male actors all from "Double-faced King"? Not to mention the best popularity between senior Kim Yoon-suk and senior Lee Byung-hun, I will say the best supporting actor... How outstanding is Senior Lee Jung-jae in "Rogue of Thieves"? Senior Yoo Seung-long is just so tiring? I just finished these two movies, but I don't feel like this... Why do you all have this expression?"

At this moment, another person who had been silent for a morning suddenly stood up and bowed respectfully to Kim Jong-ming. The latter looked up and found that it was Lee Jung-jae.

"I'm really sorry, Zhong Ming, you were filming those days, so some things are normal." Lee Jung-jae forced a smile. "Anyway, I'm worried. I have a show in the afternoon, so I'll take a step first!"

After saying this, Lee Jung-jae actually left in a hurry.

Now, Kim Jong-ming became even more puzzled: "What's going on?"

"Lee Jung-jae has dated a new girlfriend." Seeing the other party getting on the elevator, Lee Byung-hun coughed, saying that she explained to Kim Jong-ming. "The surname is Lin... The ex-wife of Vice President Lee Jae-yong, it is understandable that the media and Chairman Zheng have some concerns."

Jin Zhongming looked at the ceiling above his head, but he didn't react for a moment.

"Since the truth of the matter is basically clear, let's take a step first." Liu Zhenxun suddenly stood up, and the others quickly took the opportunity to get up. "We will definitely try our best to cooperate with the showbox after we go back. After all, it will not be beneficial for anyone to continue to hype this topic..."

"Thank you then." Li Jae-bin and Lee Byung-hun also stood up and socialized for a few words... Things seemed to come to an end.

However, after sending the group onto the elevator and then pulling back, Li Jae-bin hit Jin Zhongming with a cold look on his face: "Did you do it on purpose?"
