Chapter 323 Suddenly Want to Laugh (2)(1/3)

It sounds weird. Both representative figures in the Korean film industry have communicated several times across the air. However, whether others believe it or not, this is the first time that Kim Jong-ming and Kim Ki-duk have seen each other's real person.

And to be honest, just now when Choi Min-sik was distracted and Kim Jong-ming turned around and saw Kim Ki-duk and his group, he almost instinctively wanted to turn around and pretend that he didn't see the other person. But as soon as he thought about this, he suddenly felt something was wrong... As for?

So, Kim Jong-ming, who was driven by some strange mentality, twisted his body back and then went straight to meet him:

"Senior, I'm Kim Jong-ming when I first met."

By the way, when Kim Jong-ming stepped forward to introduce himself, he first bowed seriously, and then extended his hand to shake hands with the other party. Etiquette and other things are difficult to talk about, but his attitude does not make people find any faults.

But an interesting thing is that Kim Ki-dok is destined to be no character who can be judged by conventional ideas. In fact, a person who wears a Taoist bun like a Taoist and wears a coarse cloth robe to attend the award ceremony cannot be a normal person. Therefore, when Kim Jong-ming took the initiative to come forward to say hello, the short but weird-looking director almost looked at the person in front of him with an extremely vigilant look!

"Director, this is Mr. Kim Jong-ming!"

Seeing the other party like this, a female artist immediately reminded her helplessly among the crew of the "Sacred Sadness" behind Kim Ki-dou.

By the way, this person who spoke was naturally Zhao Minxiu, who was the highest among the group of people. She was born in KBS TV and became famous on MBC TV. Then she married a wealthy businessman early and gave birth to a child. Now she has become the actress with the big bell actress and has achieved a complete success with the "Sacred Saint". In short, there is no shortage of people, such as human nature, figure, and seniority. In fact, only she can stand up and smooth things out at this time.

"Hey, is there anything wrong with Mr. Kim Jong-ming?" Kim Ki-de was shouted by Zhao Min-soo, and knew that he was a little at a loss, so he barely spoke.

"Nothing happened." Jin Zhongming was also speechless. He introduced himself to himself and wanted to get to know the other party, but the other party asked him what he was doing. This obvious intention of keeping others from thousands of miles away really made him helpless... But when he thought of the other party's various rumors, he really didn't feel angry at this time.

"It's okay to forget it." Kim Ki-dok, who came to his senses, finally turned his head seriously. "I'm just a poor moviemaker. I have nothing to say to a big boss like Mr. Kim Jong-ming. I'll take a step first..."

After saying that, the symbolic figure of the Korean film industry directly stepped away with his short legs, lifted his coarse robe and walked away. The members of the "Sacred Saint" crew behind him all looked bitter, but they had to bow their heads and salute and quickly follow...

Kim Jong-ming was stunned on the spot, but he didn't even react to what happened! He just came over to say hello, why was he so straightforward and slapped in the face so quickly?!

"Mr. Kim Jong-ming, please don't care." It was still Zhao Min-soo, who was almost fifty years old, who had to stay and cut off the queen for the crew of "Sacred Sadness". "Director Kim Ki-duk actually had no malice..."

"Is that true?" Jin Zhongming was speechless. Isn't this a malice?

"What do you think of this person?" Zhao Minxiu hesitated for a moment and finally decided to be honest. "First of all, although he is indeed a bad personality, there are some reasons for doing this. Recently, he has indeed misunderstood you because of some media provocations..."

"That's what happened." Jin Zhongming suddenly wanted to laugh. "I've been much more relaxed, it's better to just 'take one step first' for no reason..."

Zhao Minxiu also smiled awkwardly, and then continued to explain: "Actually it's the issue of awards, you may not know..."

"Senior, please call me my name directly." After being played with Kim Ki-de, he suddenly started to communicate with normal people. Kim Jong-ming was a little disrespectful. After the other party called him, he realized that the people in front of him need respect, both in terms of seniority and age.

"Forget it, I can't just call your name directly. I'll save Director Kim Ki-dok's thoughts too much later." Zhao Min-soo smiled bitterly. "He is extremely sensitive... Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many things."

"I heard a little." Kim Jong-ming thoughtfully remembered some old things that everyone knew. "But senior, what happened this time? You just mentioned the award... Are there any bad rumors?"

"Actually, the main root is still at the last Big Bell Awards." Zhao Min-soo explained helplessly. "Director Kim Ki-dok still wants to change his previous style after his comeback this year. You should also know why he went to the mountain to live in seclusion in the past two years... So this time he was on a variety show and was interviewed again. In essence, he still wanted to make some efforts and change. The Big Bell Award was his first domestic award since he returned to China, so he also took it seriously..."

"I understand!" Kim Jong-ming laughed again. "The slander of "The Two-Faced King" was hit on my head, right? I heard that director Kim Ki-dou saw "The Two-Faced King" win awards one by one, and then left angrily before the award for Best Movie came out... Could it be that he had counted this matter on me?"

"It's not just that." Zhao Min-soo pointed to the iconic Qinglong pillar that was being arranged on the stage. "In fact, it's still new hatreds and old grievances. Before coming, the media inspires to ask Director Kim Ki-duk, that the Da Zhong Award was blocked by "Double-faced King". This time, he faced the "Horror Live" with a high voice and a good box office. If he missed again, does it mean that Korean filmmakers are still willing to recognize commercial movies and are unwilling to accept his movies?"

Kim Jong-ming felt funny again: "As for this kind of question? A media outlet... can he hate me?"

"He can hate himself for three years because of an accident or a normal job change, let alone others?" Zhao Minxiu continued to explain a little...a little annoyed. "So he told us on the road just now that if he met movies and filmmakers who spoke with money in this "Sacred Sorrow" again, he would never attend any domestic award ceremony again, and then he would meet you when he entered the door and say hello..."

Jin Zhongming immediately said nothing.

How do you say this person? No matter how unique or weird he is, there are two things you must recognize.

First, he is a natural film genius. A person who has never touched camera equipment comes to make a movie and becomes famous all over the world. Then, no matter whether you want to recognize it or not, he has become a banner of Korean movies all the way.

Secondly, he is indeed a person with personality, or more simply, a naive person... When he talks about this, he must explain some of the previous conversation between Kim Jong-ming and Zhao Min-soo. They repeatedly talked about "old things", "interesting", and "Kim Ki-dok's "sensitive", but in fact they all talked about one thing.

Speaking of 2008, Kim Ki-dou encountered two very normal things, at least it seems normal for outsiders... One is that when he was filming the movie "Sad Dream", an accident occurred on the set. When the heroine was filming the scene of suicide, she forgot to stop because of the director, and then fainted. However, it was proved that it was just a minor injury and woke up before she was sent to the hospital. The other was that the deputy director Zhang Xun, whom he trained, did not renew the contract after the contract expired that year, but chose to accept the capital injection of Shobo, established a small company similar to an external studio, and started shooting commercial films, and it was also a great success. The money earned by the movie "The Righteous Brothers" back then was more profitable than he had earned in half his life, not to mention that there was a more outstanding commercial film in a year later!

To be honest, what's the matter? What's there to worry about?

It was a good thing to catch fire on the set. The most important thing is that the actress was really just an accident and was rescued at that time. As for Jang Hoon's affairs, the so-called people going to high places and water flowing to low places is the norm in this society. What's more, it's already considered that people's job change before they expire, right? No normal person can speak... But the problem is that Kim Ki-duk is not a normal person, so he immediately became depressed! He first cried, forgot to stop crying for himself, but he cried and explained to others that he had no grudges with Jang Hoon!

That's not all. The more I think about it, the more I feel, the more I feel uncomfortable, and in the end I suffer from very serious social phobia!

In order to deal with this disease, the great director left everything at hand and cried to the reporter, saying, "Humanity is so terrible." Then he ran to the mountain alone and said he wanted to live in seclusion! It is said that he further set up a tent in his house to further isolate the society!

So how long did he last for this seclusion and isolation? The answer is for three years. During these three years, he has been wearing a Taoist priest's bun and a coarse cloth clothes every day. In summer, he has coarse cloth shorts and vests, and in winter, the coarse cloth robe that Jin Zhongming just saw, and probably a cotton jacket was covered in it.

Anyway, it's true seclusion!

Koreans didn't care at first, and felt that this guy was messing around, willful, and acting spoiled to society. Then three years passed, and he was still living there, so... there were even fewer people who paid attention to him. Everyone meant that you just died in it. If you don't come to trouble others, others won't bother you... Although this is exaggerated, that kind of meaning is not enough to escape.

However, Kim Ki-dok is definitely not a person you can guess. After living for three years, it was about the end of last year and the beginning of this year. Although this big director still lives in the mountains, he suddenly started running to Seoul. It is said that he felt that his illness was almost cured, and it was time to try to integrate into society again... This time, he had to make movies seriously, then hold media conferences seriously, and attend several variety shows interviews seriously. In short, he must work hard to communicate with the society!

The words sounded very good. Considering his courage to live in seclusion for three years, everyone thought that this guy was sincere, so news about him was flying all over the place during that time. Some people even asked Kim Jong-ming if he wanted to work with him, but Kim Jong-ming refused on the spot.

So back to the topic, what happened later proves that this guy might as well stay on the mountain, or rather, he might as well continue to learn from the past and not communicate with society!

Well, first of all, the movie he made was of course "Sacred Sadness". This movie that he had been tempered for three years was amazed half of Europe as soon as he appeared. The Golden Lion of Venice even broke the curse of no international awards in Asian films for five years... So, all South Korea and the world once again paid attention to this maverick art director.

But at this time, this great director who began to actively communicate with the media and society had an old problem again... He began to take the initiative to settle accounts and tell his grievances:

In Europe, he told European and American journalists that he was abandoned by Korean society and was forced to live in seclusion;

In Asia, he told reporters from China and Japan that he was hostile to the Korean film industry, so he was forced to live in seclusion;

In Korea, when he was on a variety show, he said how pitiful his past life experience was and how depressing the Korean society was, so he was forced to live in seclusion;

In the internal activities of the film industry, he told people every day that Korean movies have oppressed art, and art films are bullied by commercial films and have no way out, so they are forced to live in seclusion...

In addition, he always mentioned Zhang Xun in his words... Of course, he just kept explaining to others that "he has no grudges with Zhang Xun." But with this kind of active explanation facing the whole world, Zhang Xun was actually carrying an ungrateful name in the whole world! Finally, with the Golden Lion Award won the Golden Lion Award, almost all foreign media gave Zhang Xun the title of a villain!

Otherwise, who would read it if you don’t write it like this?

Let me say something more here. Under the tremendous psychological pressure, Jang Hoon almost completely retired from the film industry! Before Kim Ki-duk came back, he made a well-known and popular commercial movie every year, and after he came back, he did not touch a movie once every five years!

Back to the topic, no matter what, Zhao Min-soo has actually made Kim Ki-duk's meaning clear, because of some kind of delusion of being murdered. In addition, the previous incident in "The Two-Faced King" seemed to completely hurt the self-esteem of the great director, so he believed from the bottom of his bones that his "Holy Sorrow" award will be blocked by commercial films again. What stopped him this time was Kim Jong-ming, the leader of the money power in the Korean film industry, and his "Horror Live"!

So Kim Jong-ming was speechless.

"Has I been pulled back?" Choi Min-zhi, who had been watching from the side, didn't understand what was going on.

"What a weird thing." Jin Zhongming smiled helplessly and shook his head. "I pointed my finger at me for the first time when I met..."

"This kind of person can point his finger at you if he has never seen you." The person who speaks was Uncle Dapeng, who has always had a good temper. He came here today to scan his face, and was just for the release of "Snow Country Train". However, although it was not his own, he still took the initiative to join in the complaint. "I was talking about "The Righteous Brothers" because I collaborated with director Zhang Xun to film "The Righteous Brothers", but I never met him. However, the most important thing about him is that he often embarrasses you... "

Kim Jong-ming and Choi Min-sik looked at Song Kang-ho curiously.

"The two most important things are..." Song Kanghao sighed. "There is really no malice behind his embarrassment that makes you unacceptable. At the same time, he always feels that other people's normal actions are malicious..."

"That's like a child." Kim Jong-ming shook his head and smiled. "On the one hand, he is innocent in his heart, but he always hurts others inadvertently. On the other hand, he always feels that others are letting down and ignoring him, so he repeatedly acts of being angry and acting coquettish to the whole society..."

"I don't know if we are too mature or he is too naive?" Choi Min-zhi continued thoughtfully.

"No matter what, we can't let everyone else change because of his own ideas, right?" Kim Jong-ming was too lazy to think about this question. "Everyone is equal, he has the freedom to live in his own way of life, and we also have the right to communicate with each other to form a larger environment... Let it go immediately."

“That’s true.”

"That's right."

In this way, the three of them chatted for a few more times, and suddenly Choi Min-sik angrily yelled behind Kim Jong-ming.

"What?" Kim Jong-ming turned around and glanced at it from a distance, but didn't notice anything unusual.

"Are you looking for yours?" Song Kanghao also tried hard.

Kim Jong-ming turned back in surprise again, but this time he finally found that there was indeed an acquaintance behind him, perhaps a familiar furry child. In fact, it was because the other party stood behind him and bent down to the two seniors, and then his small figure disappeared directly behind the seat behind him, so he didn't notice that the other party's... was Jin Sae-ron.

"Why are you here?" He lowered his head at the two big bosses, and Kim Jong-ming turned around and walked away with Kim Sae-ron in his arms.

"Did Agassi ask me why I came to the Blue Dragon Award or why I came to you?" Kim Sae-ron was the same as before, which was in sharp contrast to Kim Ki-dok just now.

"All of them are there." Kim Jong-ming smiled. "Tell me one by one, why are you here for the Qinglong Award? Why are you looking for me again?"

"I'll be a mc!" Jin Sae-ron curled his lips. "It's specialized in the median literary performance. Then on such a cold day, I came in a dress according to their requirements, but I didn't even give me a blanket in the backstage, so I had to run to the front where the heater was enough to keep warm..."

"Why don't you give me a blanket?" Kim Jong-ming was a little confused. In his impression, no matter where the backstage was, girls always had a blanket.

"Because everyone has no blankets." Kim Sae-ron explained helplessly. "No idol has come today, and the actresses are not afraid of cold. The only female guest who came to sing is Senior Insunyi. How could she be afraid of cold?!"

Kim Jong-ming laughed again. Aunt In-sun Yi didn't look afraid of the cold, but no matter how she smiled, he took off his coat and put it on the little guy... This was not a show, but a disguised reminder to the KBS group of people to quickly get a blanket for the little girl, otherwise Kim Jong-ming would have to sit in the audience in a shirt for two hours.

"I only had three groups of guests today." After putting on my coat, Kim Sae-ron continued. "Senior Insunyi is the finale. She will start singing before the Best Picture Award comes out; then there is a mixed voice group that I don't know, which is the midfielder; but the most interesting thing is that Zhang Jihe and his faces group, they will sing "Heard the Rumor" before the Best Supporting Actor and Female Award..."

Jin Zhongming was a little confused. He didn't understand why the little girl told him about this.

"Agassi." Kim Sae-ron directly put his mouth in the other person's ear. "Heard the Rumor is the ost of "The Heyday of Bad Guys"... The Best Supporting Actor and Actress will be the Best Actor Award in the future."

Jin Zhongming suddenly realized and laughed silently... The little girl got the program list as a MC, and then ran over to convey inside information to herself.

Indeed, everyone knows that in this Qinglong Award, his biggest competitor in the "Best Film" award is of course "Sacred Sadness" and "Rogue of Thieves", but in the award of Qinglong Film Emperor, his only reliable competitor is Cui Dapao, who is panicked as soon as he sees him...

"What are Agassi laughing about?" Jin Sae-ron asked while wrapping his coat tightly. "Are you confident?"

"That's not necessarily." Kim Jong-ming didn't hide it from the other party. He pushed the little girl to the backstage and explained. "I'm not sure about the two main awards today. And I didn't say anything whether the actor gave to senior Choi Min-sik or the best movies... But I don't know what's going on, but I'm in a relaxed mood anyway, and it's like to be open-minded... Maybe it was funny to be funny by director Kim Ki-dou?"

Kim Sae-ron followed the other party and glanced at Kim Ki-duk in the distance, but didn't know what to say: "Why did director Kim Ki-duk dress like that?"

"Warm!" Jin Zhongming replied calmly.

Now, Jin Sae-ron laughed, his two front teeth were particularly conspicuous under the light.

As expected, shortly after Kim Sae-ron ran back to the backstage in Kim Jong-ming's coat, a KBS's on-site manager immediately ran out with his coat awkwardly, but he didn't find Kim Jong-ming for a while. Finally, under the strange eyes of a group of performing stars, he asked awkwardly around the front rows of seats for a long time, and then he found the other party in a back-side position in the entertainer area. At this time, Kim Jong-ming was with his 87/88 club.

The conversation was very pleasant... Not only Yoo Ya-in, Han Hyo-joo, Song Joong-ki, Moon Geun-young, Jang Geun-soo, but also Gao Ya-ra and Kim Soo-hyun, they all gathered here. The topics they talked about were all varied, from who had just gotten frosty rain outside to whom the clothes they wore today were quite stylish, and even the popular electronic games recently. In short, they didn't participate in the three major movie awards and were shortlisted for many awards. It was a bit like a group of college students meeting to watch the musical.

At this time, when he saw the people from KBS TV coming to deliver clothes, Kim Jong-ming didn't care. He just lowered his head and took the clothes from the KBS senior executive who had some impression... In his opinion, this was just a reminder to the backstage to keep the whole blanket of warming the little girl, and there was no other intention, and the other party should go back as soon as possible to continue their preparations.

You know, you should start to enter the indoor live broadcast in twenty minutes.
To be continued...
