Chapter 372 Adaptation (1)
"Clang!"
With an inappropriate sound, a plate on the long dining table suddenly turned over and then fell to the ground, which instantly attracted many members of the "Veter" crew who were sitting around to put down their bowls and chopsticks and looked over nervously. After finding out the source of the sound, the huge dining area on the set became silent for a moment.
By the way, this is the newly opened set in Yongsan District, Seoul after the filming of the "Vehicle" crew ended. The entire set was borrowed from a newly relocated police station building.
There is no reason why the crew members are so nervous. After all, the place where the sound just made was exactly the dining table where the main creators of the crew were. They seemed to have been arguing fiercely before, and they almost lost control several times, which had already caused everyone to get up and down.
At this moment, what made people feel even more panicked was that it was not someone else who directly made the plate of rice, but it was Kim Jong-ming who had just arrived on the set. Seeing that he looked like that, not only did he look bad, but he also had a hint of drunkenness and resentment. I don’t know who provoked him.
"What's wrong, Zhong Ming?" Liu Haizhen, who was discussing something seriously with Liu Chengwan, Huang Zhengmin and others, quickly stood up and asked... There was nothing he could do. Kim Jong Ming really wanted to lose his temper. The whole crew was the one who stood up to persuade him to make peace. No matter how famous the other directors and actors were, they could not do anything.
"It's okay." Kim Jong-ming, who was a little drunk, quickly waved his hand, then kicked the plate under the table, and then sat next to the other party with a dark face. "I'm sorry, it's either the crew's business, or I just discovered something very disgusting, I really couldn't help it. You guys continue... suddenly called me over, you should have something to say, right? I remember there was no show today."
Of course, there is no role for him. In fact, no matter how much the protagonists of this "Veter" are all Hwang Jung-min. The role of the second-generation chaebol Zhao Tai-hu played by Kim Jong-ming is actually quite limited. It can only be said that he can barely keep the position of a villain protagonist. The set is the police station, and Kim Jong-ming's role has nothing to do with here from beginning to end.
"It's a discussion about the plot, and we're a little stalemate." Liu Chengwan wisely did not ask again after hearing that it was not related to the crew, and the others hurriedly turned around and continued to have supper. "So ask Zhong Ming, you come and participate in the discussion."
"Let me tell me." Jin Zhongming quickly calmed down. No matter what, this movie was the thing he devoted the most energy to this stage. "But I agreed in advance that I was having dinner with someone before, drank two more drinks, and encountered another disgusting thing, which may not be able to keep up with everyone's thinking..."
"Actually, the discussion about the turning point of the plot." Seeing that the other party was still awake, Huang Zhengmin quickly spoke. "Zhong Ming, you see, the turning point of the whole movie plot is nothing more than those two things. The sudden appearance of a key witness made the criminal behavior of the second generation of the chaebol directly present; the other is that the boss of the criminal police team was shocked by the sincerity and dedication of his subordinates, and then changed his position and chose to support his subordinates..."
"That's right." Kim Jong-ming nodded. "This is the original plot of the comic. Is there anything wrong with it?"
"I don't think it's wrong, but everyone else thinks it's wrong." Huang Zhengmin replied helplessly.
"That's right." Liu Chengwan quickly interfered. They decided to call Kim Jong-ming over and hoped that the other party would help end the dispute. "I was too hasty when I took on the role. I just considered the shooting from a technical perspective and didn't think too much in-depth. However, after I took pictures of the plot in front of me, I suddenly felt that the two points that led to the plot twist were a bit too stiff."
"Director Liu's idea makes sense." Wu Dashu, who had not spoken, also nodded. "For example, the appearance of a key witness. What is the reason given in the comic? The chaebol does not regard his subordinates as human beings. When he is unhappy, he breaks his bodyguards on the fighting stage, and then drives the person out because his legs are ruined... But in fact, the male protagonist and the police were already chaebol chaebol at that time. In this case, even if the second generation of the chaebol acts violently and perverted, even if the chaebol leader disdains the lower-level employees, he won't drive people out at this critical moment, right? How come he thinks of this kind of behavior is a bit brainless?"
The main creators of the movies, from the editor to the actors, nodded one after another, only Huang Zhengmin still insisted: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, this is understandable... From a logical point of view, the tyrannical and perverted chaebol second generation broke the leg. When the president of the chaebol ordered all the employees involved to be fired, he did not know the messed things his son did, and the chaebol second generation himself did not dare to disobey his father, which makes sense; and from the color of the whole movie, this further shows that the arrogance of the chaebol is ultimately tangent with the theme; and the witness was fired due to injury and the cause of the main case, the reason why the truck driver came to protest was because he was fired at will, which was very dark humorous! So, I think from an artistic point of view, this is still acceptable."
"That's true." Jin Zhongming, who was lying on the table and holding his head with one hand, nodded slightly. "It was originally a comic, and it was the absurdity of traces. Although it could not resist the so-called reasonable direction, the style really seemed more relevant... After choosing, I agree more with the absurd black humor setting in the original comic."
"Yes?!" Huang Zhengmin was probably besieged by others for a long time, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. "When we talked about this to the comic author Mr. Zhu, he also said this."
"Since that's the case, that's fine." Liu Chengguan frowned slightly. "After all, the original author and you two protagonists both agree with this plot setting, but I can't give in so casually about the other point."
"What is the second point?" Kim Jong-ming asked seriously. He really forgot. After all, I really drank a little too much with Sunny before.
"The second point is the change in the boss's position." Liu Haizhen reminded helplessly.
"That's right." Liu Chengwan continued seriously. "To be fair, the boss of the criminal police team was still accepting disguised bribes from the chaebol company before, asking the other party to sponsor his daughter to hold a concert. How could such a person change his position because of the injury of a subordinate and then endorse the protagonist's actions? The sudden whitewashing was simply a trick!"
"That's true." Jin Zhongming nodded without comment. "It's indeed a bit stiff... What does Teacher Zhu say?"
"Teacher Zhu was also a little hesitant about this, but Chengwan and the screenwriters were not satisfied, so they seemed to be preparing to make concessions." Huang Zhengmin interrupted again. "But from the perspective of my role, I always feel that if I change it randomly, there would be something wrong."
"That..." Kim Jong-ming pressed the pocket of his suit vest and interrupted the other party a little. "The director should have a rough adaptation plan, right?"
"I have a wonderful design that will make this turning point look natural and in line with reality and logic." Liu Chengwan saw that Kim Jong-ming never made a statement this time, and his emotions were obviously rising. "Zhong Ming, have you noticed that the second generation of the chaebol you played in the movie was a concubine son born to a mistress, but in fact, he has never played it out. Although the whole article implies that his perverted and tyrannical personality was caused by the discrimination of the entire family in his childhood, in fact, his brothers and sisters only showed up once, and they flashed by and died in vain..."
"The director wants to write an article from here?" Kim Jong-ming heard a little.
"That's right." Liu Chengwan became more and more excited. "After all, we are adults. Don't you understand what this society is like? A superior in the police system cannot change his position for the sake of a small policeman's sense of justice, let alone he accepted bribes from the second generation of the chaebol, and his daughter's future is still in the hands of others! It's not that the transformation cannot be done, but that only higher-level superiors can be qualified to push him to change his position..."
At this point, Huang Zhengmin, who was listening carefully, and Kim Jong-ming, who was a little drunk, frowned at the same time. Of course, Liu Chengwan, who was in high spirits, did not notice this, and he continued to talk about his own opinions and wonderful original patches.
"So, what I mean is that the boss of the criminal police team suddenly jumped back in the later stage. On the surface, it was moved by the efforts of his subordinates, but in fact it was because the brothers and sisters of the second generation of the chaebol took action secretly! Why? Because the brothers and sisters of the second generation of the chaebol had that motivation and strength. More importantly, this original setting did not deviate from the theme of the comics, but instead increased the mockery of the Korean chaebol... What does Zhong Ming think?"
"It's a wonderful setting." Kim Jong-ming replied without hesitation. This is what he said in his heart. "It's very reasonable, very logical, and very realistic."
Liu Chengwan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but Huang Zhengmin was a little helpless. If Kim Jong-ming agreed with the change, then his personal opposition would be meaningless.
In fact, unlike the previous argument, although he always felt something was wrong in this adaptation, he could not express any organized objections. He had been stalemate before and found the original author, Mr. Zhu, and then found Kim Jong-ming, but it was actually just a force to hold on. Now, even Kim Jong-ming, who had the ability to finalize the finale, said that Liu Cheng-wan's adaptation was wonderful, so he really had no choice?
"Then let's change it like this?" Liu Haizhen concluded tentatively at Huang Zhengmin. "Zhong Ming also agrees with this original plot."
"Well!" Huang Zhengmin frowned, but was helpless.
"Wait first." Kim Jong-ming suddenly spoke again, which made the main creators of the crew stunned. "I agree with the wonderful setting, but it does not mean that I agree to the adaptation like this. In fact, I still think that the somewhat far-fetched plot in the original comic may be more suitable."
There was a stagnation on the dining table, and many people were speechless for a while... What is a far-fetched plot more appropriate? This sounds like a slander?
"How to say it?" Liu Chengwan had no choice but to bite the bullet and asked. "Is there anything you want to say?"
"Yes." Kim Jong-ming replied calmly, then took out a piece of paper from his pocket in the suit vest. "But let me slowly... Do you know why I was angry when I came? After reading this, you probably understand."
Liu Chengwan took the paper curiously, but after just a glance, he put it back like throwing a hot potato. Liu Haizhen, who was sitting next to Jin Zhongming, glanced slightly and turned his head away as if he had a pierced eye. The rest of the people basically had similar reactions... No matter how hard it was, what Jin Zhongming took out was a tax fine!
How did you come about? Do you still need to ask? But what is really eye-catching is the amount above!
No matter what, in the context of Che Enze’s uncle being fired from the Blue House, the huge fine of 500 million won was a bit too much, right? But Kim Jong-ming put this thing in front of the crew members, what did he want to express?
