Chapter 373 Adaptation (2)
"I just got it this afternoon." Jin Zhongming sneered. "I was in a good mood at the time. I met an old friend I hadn't seen for a long time. I agreed to go to Hongdae to have a drink together, so after I got it from the inspection hall, I kept my pocket in my pocket until I took the opportunity to take a look on the way I just came, and then I realized that I had been fooled!"
"It's indeed a bit too much." Someone next to him coughed.
"Fortunately, I left some face for me." Kim Jong-ming smiled. "Is it more or less? If I really want to be disgusted, I will give a very small ticket worth hundreds of thousands of wons, which will look really good..."
Everyone present became even more embarrassed when they heard this.
By the way, everyone is an adult, and is also an adult with rich social experience. Of course, they understand some of the tricks here... Not to mention those big companies that are often found by the tax Jicha, just say that in the entertainment industry, S.m has been fined and Loen has been fined, and the tricks here are definitely traceable. In fact, everyone knows that in terms of the scale of the Korean wave business of cube, the name of the Korean wave tax rebate written on this ticket, if the tax department wants to express a settlement and fool it, it should be a number of 10 to 20 million won. If it is 40 to 50 million, there will undoubtedly be a bad attitude. The fine of hundreds of million won will undoubtedly mean a serious warning, and the 500 million won is simply pointing at the nose and saying that you do have serious problems in taxation.
Of course, just like Kim Jong-ming said, if you really want to mess with you, you will be fined hundreds of thousands of won... It is obvious that he told the public that Kim Jong-ming has power and the tax inspection department dare not provoke you, that would be disgusting! If that is the case, Kim Jong-ming will still have to fight these bastards.
But no matter what, the current situation is that the matter has been concluded. Cha Eunze’s uncle Kim Sang-ru left the stage in three days. The angry young men at MBC also gave up their intention to use this matter as a preface and instead went to confront their director Kim Jong-kook wholeheartedly. In private unknown to the outside world, An Sung-ki and Bae Yong-joon also led the list of reorganized preparatory committees, and Kim Jong-ming also informed Lee Jae-hyun again. In fact, both sides had already been in peace.
So this ticket is probably like Sika almost went to Los Angeles. It is purely because the people below followed the official style and deliberately disgusted Kim Jong-ming.
There is no way, who made you turn against the president? Who made you Kim Jong-ming smaller than the president? Who blames you?
"Actually, the director is right. We are all adults. Isn't it a little bit like this society?" Kim Jong-ming said as he smiled and fiddled with the ticket in his hand. "So to be honest, the director's logic is right. If you want to see someone like Zhao Tai-hu who is protected by the power of a chaebol enterprise, you can only take action from someone at the same level or higher level, right?"
Many people sighed slightly, but the main creators were still frowning... They were more dedicated, and their minds were still on the movies, and they were waiting for Kim Jong-ming to speak thoroughly. As for Liu Chengwan, he had a slight move in his heart, as if he had captured something.
"To be honest, I'm giving this ticket to everyone. I don't want to say that I've been put on a trick, but I want to use this thing and the most famous thing about me recently to further confirm the director's logic and truth... At the beginning, Che Enze's little slut, everyone knows that he relies on his uncle's nepotism to establish the leader of the Economic Promotion Group. But without me, there are thousands of people in the Korean cultural circle, all of whom are elites, all of whom are social wise men, and all have a sense of justice. But who dares to stand up and criticize him?"
The atmosphere was a little awkward, and even Liu Chengwan touched his nose awkwardly.
"What then?" Kim Jong-ming continued to laugh with the alcohol. "I beat up the chief secretary of the Blue House, who is in all the glory. How could several prosecutors from the tax audit department dare to enforce the law so impartially? I found out that I evaded taxes and fined me 500 million won? It's not because they are really proficient in enforcing the law impartially, but because they think I'm evil about our president and are showing my loyalty! Without the background of turning against me and the Blue House, they give them ten thousand courage to punish me?!"
Many people laughed dryly, but immediately put away their inappropriate smiles.
"Recalling further, Hyundai Group was caught in a political donation scandal, which forced two mayors to commit suicide and cut off clues, but why did the prosecutor win later?" Kim Jong-ming became more and more excited, and even the most proud case in the South Korean inspection system was slandered. "Is they really passionate? It's nothing more than Kim Dae-jung. Roh Moo-hyun and both wanted to give the Zheng family a good look. With such a more powerful force in power behind the back, these prosecutors had the courage to investigate this case..."
"Zhong Ming, it's been so many years since this matter has happened, so it's better not to mention it..." As soon as this matter was said, some people were inevitably a little timid.
"But these words are all the truth. I don't believe that you don't talk about these things when you drink." Kim Jong-ming replied dismissively. "But it's okay, it's useless to say more of these words. Director, I'm just trying to tell you that your patch is indeed very realistic logic, but realistic logic is meaningless in this movie!"
"Is this movie... not a reality at all?" The topic returned from the suffocating reality to the movie, and Liu Chengwan obviously regained some combat power. "A movie that was originally a mocking social reality, how can it be said that it is meaningless?"
"This is the problem. Shaking social reality does not mean it is a realist movie." Kim Jong-ming narrowed his eyes and replied seriously. "If you really talk about reality, the ending should be the destruction of the male protagonist's family; if you really talk about reality, the male protagonist will be directly transferred to Jeju Island at the beginning of the investigation. Anyway, he just solved the smuggling case, and he happened to be promoted and raised. Everyone was happy. If you really talk about reality, this case would not happen at the beginning, because there are not many real second-generation chaebols who are so stupid, and a few stupid people don't kill anyone ruthlessly... Director, we have a saying that too much is too late, and even if you change it like this, it may even make the whole movie lose its soul..."
Liu Chengwan frowned slightly. It was obvious that he still couldn't give up his wonderful original plot.
In fact, the other party's words at the beginning touched him a little, and he did catch something. But later the other party suddenly took that kind of eye-catching tax fine and wandered around in front of him, and said so many sensitive topics in reality, which made him instinctively avoid related thoughts, and then he returned to his original position.
Moreover, no matter how you say it, "too much is too much, making the movie lose its soul." This extreme and harsh evaluation is really hard for him to accept. Or, in Liu Chengwan's opinion, Kim Jong-ming was drinking too much, so his tone of speaking was a bit high.
"Does the director think I'm calling a little high?" Kim Jong-ming seemed to understand the other party's meaning, and in a blink of an eye he said what the other party was thinking.
"I think it's just a small plot patch. If it's not suitable, it may not affect the theme of the movie." Liu Chengwan took a little effort. "Look, 99% of the other plots are there. How can such a small plot change make the movie lose its soul?"
"Director, let's go back to the argument of realism." Kim Jong-ming did not get emotional as he was as the other party, but instead calmed down his tone. At the same time, he kept stuffing the ticket into his vest's pocket. "First of all, this work is not a realism work, there is no problem with this?"
"This is of course." As a famous Korean director, Yoo Seung-wan certainly has a set of things. "Realism has an obvious feature, that is, it has a pessimistic understanding of moral progress and human ability... and the ending of this movie is to punish evil and promote good. The whole story happens to be based on the hero's sense of justice. From this point of view, it cannot be a realistic work. However, I have never said that this is a realistic work. I just think it has a certain realist component, especially in the ironic depiction of the chaebol class."
"That's right." Kim Jong-ming nodded repeatedly. "I also agree with this point. I have said a long time ago that although the plot of this comic is absurd, in fact, almost every detail can find real traces from the real society. This makes this comic particularly vivid in the depiction of villains. It was because of this that I was attracted..."
"So, how can the movie lose its soul by adding a little ironic plot to the already fulfilling and exciting chaebol class?" Liu Chengwan did not give in and put the problem out again.
"Because your brief adaptation will make the male protagonist of the movie and the entire police camp lose the value of existence!" Kim Jong-ming refuted without any hesitation. "This movie, to put it bluntly, is actually a fairy tale that is extremely vulgar... A policeman, with a sense of justice and courage, simply defeated money, power, and sin! It's that simple! The so-called large number of realistic descriptions before are just to empathize with Korean readers and audiences!"
Liu Chengguan was slightly stagnant.
"Director." Kim Jong-ming's tone eased. "Did you notice that although your adaptation is wonderful and small, and it also improves logical loopholes, it also inadvertently denies everything about the male protagonist in this movie. Because of this change, the second-generation chaebol Zhao Tai-hu, who defeated Zhao Tai-hu, is not the male protagonist, but has become a second-generation chaebol who is stronger than Zhao Tai-hu. In this case, what is the meaning of the male protagonist's passion, hard work, sense of justice, and even the character itself?"
The whole scene was silent. In fact, sometimes things are so simple after you break the key points.
"Say something hurtful." Jin Zhongming suddenly sniffed. "I thought that after I showed my ticket, the director and you will immediately understand what I mean... But now it seems that I am obviously self-indulgent, because you, who are full of realistic logic, have also lost your ability to think in the face of real social reality. This is like Ye Gong Haolong..."
The surroundings were still quite quiet, but Liu Chengwan's face turned blue and white. Obviously, while he recognized Kim Jong-ming's statement, he was embarrassed by the other party's mercilessness, but he didn't dare to say more.
Bang!
Before Liu Chengwan could speak, Huang Zhengmin next to him slammed the table and instantly attracted everyone's attention: "That's what I mean, this is what I want to express! It's because I started from my role that I was so disgusted with Chengwan's change. It's just that I'm stupid and not as high as the theoretical level of both of you, so I can't say it. But now Zhong Ming's words really have the most direct idea. As you Liu Chengwan change, reality is reality, but the male protagonist has become a joke!"
"Senior Zhengmin is indeed amazing." Kim Jong-ming probably felt that what he said just now was a little harsh, so he nodded and agreed. "He obviously understood this character to a certain extent, and had the shadow of the character, so this kind of instinctive consciousness of resistance appeared."
"So that's it." Liu Chengwan took the opportunity to sigh slightly. "So, I think it's just that I'm not thinking..."
"It is not necessary to count on your director." Kim Jong-ming continued to smile. "The main reason is that this comic is too exciting and profound in the description of the villain, which makes you fall into it... And don't care. I'm probably a little influenced by my role, so I have been a little arrogant and wanton recently. Just like just now, I just said it directly at the beginning, and I had to use a ticket to scare people. But this twists and turns are a bit too far, and my words are a little harsh... Don't care!"
"How could you care?" Liu Haizhen took the opportunity to laugh. "It's a good thing that both protagonists are involved in the show, and the director will only be happy."
"That's right." Liu Chengwan took the opportunity to draw a conclusion. "So overall, Zhong Ming's reason is still correct. In fact, judging from the vulgar plot of the victim suddenly awakening in the end of the comic, the so-called fairy tale is fine... This is a pure story of punishing evil and promoting good. The hero's passionate purity and the villain's evil purity. The overly complex character analysis and conspiracy plot will ruin the atmosphere."
"That's right." Kim Jong-ming sniffed, nodded and smiled again. "What you want is this pure collision of good and evil, and then make a clear decision on the victory or defeat."
For a moment, everyone agreed.
"Then let's settle it like this, it's better not to change it." Kim Jong-ming quickly made the final decision.
"Well!" Liu Chengguan also responded with affirmativeness, and everyone was very happy for a moment.
There was no Kim Jong-ming's scene, and Liu Haizhen's scene was over. After joking, the two walked out of the abandoned police station building together. In fact, there was another meaning. Although Liu Haizhen rarely spoke, he was particularly careful. He noticed that Kim Jong-ming had drunk wine and had not driven a car, so he was going to take the other party back.
In this way, two acquaintances who had known each other for a long time talked and laughed, then got into Liuhai Town's car together, and immediately drove towards Apgujeong.
"Zhong Ming," However, shortly after the car got on the road, Liu Haizhen, who was driving, glanced at the person in the passenger seat, and he actually asked another question related to the discussion just now. "Look, since the rare comics have created this second-generation chaebol so realistically, is there a possibility of deepening the entire movie? I mean, small changes are not suitable, so why not make major changes? We can mobilize the screenwriter team to create the entire weak justice camp for secondary creation, so that they will be more brilliant overall, and their image is more complex and three-dimensional. In this way, the story will appear more connotation?"
As soon as he said this, Kim Jong-ming on the co-pilot's eyelids jumped suddenly, and after the other party finished speaking, he immediately shook his head calmly: "This..., let alone the film has been filmed until now, and it is too late to change it. The key is that even if the second adaptation makes the movie more connotation, Brother Haizhen, do you think this is good for the movie?"
"Isn't it the meaning of having more connotations?" Liu Haizhen asked indifferently. "Zhong Ming, you are the one who made a movie like "The Furnace" and have also participated in the production of the recently popular "Su Yuan". How could you ask such a question?"
"That's not the same thing." Kim Jong-ming frowned slightly, but he could only say that. "That thing is called social justice. I have always regarded it as the responsibility and obligation of film and television works. However, the connotation is not connotation or anything else, and it should be based on the market's perspective. It cannot be connotation for the sake of connotation. Sometimes, Korean films' behavior of over-pursuing connotation will cause aesthetic fatigue in the market."
Liu Haizhen showed doubts on his face, and he was still a little puzzled... Because the other party's words were obviously wrong, there are certainly aesthetic fatigue, but when you carefully appreciate the success factors of Korean movies, which one is not the same? Such a small country has neither history nor literature as support, but there are so many literary works, so they have always used those things that are used to piece together. Aesthetic fatigue cannot be used as any reason.
"Well." Now, Kim Jong-ming finally couldn't hold on. "Actually, Brother Haizhen, think about it, think about it, and think about it on the other hand, sometimes pure and simple stories will probably be more popular with the market, such as "Uncle" back then and the recent box office champion "The Great Hidden". Aren't it all simple stories that have won the market and reputation? Good works don't need to be too complicated, and the simpler works are the more they can show the actor's excellence..."
Liu Haizhen looked at the old little brother expressionlessly, but suddenly woke up in his heart.
By the way, he finally understood why the other party had to go around the corner, why he refused to adapt, why he had to oppose the main creators of most of the crew because of a small change, and even stabbed director Liu Chengwan... What a bullshit realism, it's bullshit for the meaning of the role of the police, as for what he had drunk and had some of the play, so it was even more bullshit!
The answers to all are actually in the examples of "Uncle" and "The Great Hidden".
Looking at the movie "Uncle", the movie actually has nothing outstanding in the whole film. The script is very loopholes, and the fate of the characters can be seen at a glance. The final fight scene made a joke on the issue of guns... However, in the end, the movie finally won the box office championship of that year with its refreshing sense of rhythm and outstanding actor performance. When this work was successful, people tried to find some persuasive reasons from it, but were shocked to find that, in addition to Kim Jong-ming's outstanding performance, they could not find the second thing that could be put on the table.
So, in the end, the glory of the entire movie was taken away by Kim Jong-ming. He defeated many actors of the same period with this one, and then completely established his position as a movie actor.
As for "The Great Hidden", it's even more direct... After the movie was released and became the box office champion this month, the media and industry insiders were thinking about it over and over again, but they couldn't even see where the movie was outstanding. In the end, they could only give all the credit to Kim Soo-hyun, and said that this movie was the first idol-style movie in South Korea.
Translated by this, it actually means that this movie is basically supported by Kim Soo-hyun’s personal performance and popularity... It’s Kim Soo-hyun!
And after thinking of this level, Jin Zhongming's meaning was about to come out!
That's right, the character Zhao Tai-hu in the original comic is particularly outstanding, and Kim Jong-ming's personal performance is also particularly amazing. If that's the case, what if the plot is childish? So what if the character of the police male lead is assumed to be a little more common? So what if the character designs around him are simpler? How can it highlight the character of Zhao Tai-hu? If not, how can it highlight the wonderful performance of Kim Jong-ming? And if this movie really hits the audience's appetite, a box office result that is more eye-catching than "Great Hidden", then when there are any more actor appeal, who will say what Kim Soo-hyun? Isn't Kim Jong-ming?
It’s ridiculous that I and Liu Chengguan and others were trapped by the other party with a tax ticket before, and then they were thinking about it in circles. They never understood this meaning. It’s ridiculous.
"Brother Haizhen." Perhaps realizing that the other party had completely understood, Kim Jong-ming moved his body a little embarrassedly. "When do you think those people will react?"
"It's hard to say." Liu Haizhen came back to his senses, but no longer cared about those things, because since the other party was so honest with him, the previous twists and turns seemed indifferent. "I think senior Wu Dazhu is the oldest, has experienced the most, and hasn't spoken just now, so he probably has some understandings. Then Director Liu Chengwan, after all, is a director. When the movie is released, he will probably understand what should come immediately as soon as he puts it out. And Huang Zhengmin, to be honest, I can't see it, but I just think the timing of his table shooting is very interesting, and he should have some understandings, right? But you don't have to care about these..."
"What do you say?" Jin Zhongming asked for advice carefully.
"You just think about these people and you will know that Senior Wu Dazhu and I are actually just selling your face to help you out. They don't care about these things to us. No matter how good the changes are, we can't give us a movie hero, right?"
"Just as long as Brother Haizhen doesn't care."
"Then director Liu Chengwan, he is the youngest and the object of your direct foolings. Logically speaking, he should hate you the most, but he lacks honor." Liu Haizhen glanced at the other party with a smile. "If this movie is really successful, even if he wakes up, he will only be grateful to you. If he can still use the Dongfeng to get the best director or something, he will be even more grateful. What is this matter then?"
Kim Jong-ming immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Senior Huang Zhengmin?"
"As for Huang Zhengmin," Liu Haizhen narrowed his eyes slightly. "I think you are thinking too much. He has a very prominent advantage, called current affairs... If you are so nervous, do you think of him as someone else?"
"It's good to know the times!" Kim Jong-ming instinctively smiled and touched his nose, but he completely relaxed. "If the Korean actors are so aware of the times, I can save half of my heart! The movie circle is so difficult to win people's hearts, and I don't know how hard our president will be..."
Liu Haizhen's heart moved slightly again, and then the images of several people instantly appeared in front of him, but that's all. Liu Haizhen did not continue to ask... By the way, although he was definitely worth a lot of money in the movie circle when it comes to his personal relationship with Kim Jong-ming, he didn't want to pay attention to some things at all.
Chapter completed!
