When the New Year's Day bell rang, only Jin Zhongming and Zheng Hucheng were left in the huge private room.

"Let Secretary Zheng laugh." After the bell was finished and the cheers sounded, Jin Zhongming spoke with a smile.

"What's the joke?" Zheng Hucheng was puzzled. "On the contrary, I have to admire the domineering arrogance of Representative Kim? Fourteen million... I can't even think about it!"

"After all, Director Bong Joon-ho won half of his demeanor." Kim Jong-ming sighed slightly, then raised the wine pot and poured half a glass of cold wine for himself.

Zheng Hucheng looked dissatisfied, but just as he was about to speak, he saw that the other party had done the inexplicable action again - spread his left hand, raised his right hand and gently stroked his left hand, and finally put the glass containing the wine back.

"Is this... what does it mean?" Zheng Hucheng immediately became puzzled. After all, doing this strange action once can be said to be accidental, but if it happens twice, then there must be something to say.

"I'm not afraid of Secretary Zheng's jokes." Kim Jong-ming smiled awkwardly. "I have ignored it on the surface in the past six months, but I'm almost thinking about this movie in secret, just waiting for it to make up for the shortcomings in my last movie achievements. Then when I'm bored, I'll think that if I can really get a breakthrough box office of 14 million, then I must prepare a handsome celebration posture... Later, I really thought of one."

Zheng Hucheng looked at the half glass of cold wine in a daze.

"It's very simple." Kim Jong-ming pointed to the cold wine and said with a smile. "When others toast me at the celebration meeting of the movie, I will pour the wine directly on my left hand in front of the crew and the media, and then shout, "At this moment, I am the emperor of Korean movies, and the first glass of wine will toast this left hand that crowned me.'...Isn't it a very second-rate?"

"Hey... I don't understand this very much." Zheng Hucheng quickly put away his confused expression. "But I have indeed heard of your left hand. It seems that in order to make this movie, the left hand was injured continuously, and it was quite serious. So, it must be a good thing to pay a cup to it on the day of success."

"What an elegant thing? Now that I calm down, I feel like I'm just sick, and I've been full of...similar thoughts." As he said that, Kim Jong-ming glanced at the other party. "I didn't expect that this kind of secondary disease was defeated by director Bong Joon-ho with his temperament on the first day of the movie's release, which was also embarrassing."

"The more you say, you are getting more and more!" Zheng Hucheng advised sincerely. "How old is he? How old are you? He used to be a vast ocean, but you are riding the wind and waves. So what if you are a little more heroic? Besides, those of them really have a high perspective like you? Can those of them really understand your urgent psychology now? You don't feel hurt when you speak when you stand, just act like a famous person."

Kim Jong-ming shook his head and did not say more about this matter. Instead, he asked the other party's purpose: "Speaking of this... Secretary Zheng and Director Yin Ji-jun came to me after they talked and waited until now. Do you have any other words to tell me?"

"Oh." Zheng Hucheng immediately became serious. "This time he came here, it was actually the president who gave me a special explanation. She asked me to tell you that the matter you mentioned to her before was already correct. Then the president asked me to convey her respect to you. She said that she appreciates your responsible attitude very much. Then the specific situation is like this. We have two ways now..."

Jin Zhongming listened carefully and said nothing.

Just like this, I don’t know how long it took, when he walked out of the restaurant gate alone, there were already few pedestrians on the road, but perhaps because of the New Year’s Day holiday, there are still many shops in the bustling Jiangnan side that have opened their doors all night.

Instead of starting the car, Kim Jong-ming greeted the assistants or bodyguards who had changed shifts, and then took only one of them, and then walked forward directly to go home to rest. However, just as he was standing on the edge of Hanjiang South Road, waiting for the green light to cross the road to go home, a decoration that was being dismantled at the door of a shop next to the road attracted his attention.

It was a Christmas tree that seemed a bit out of place.

So, for no reason, Kim Jong-ming turned his head.

"Why are you going to do it so late, Oni?" On the sofa, I turned around in a daze while watching TV while waiting for a shower while holding coal and petting the cat. "We will have mbc's New Year's Day live program tomorrow morning!"

"Do you care about me?" Chu Long didn't look back, and changed his shoes and threw the door and left.

Eun looked up expressionlessly and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized: "It's really rare!"

Then, he lay down again.

"oppa!" Below the building, Chu Long saw the familiar figure waiting not far away.

"For you." Kim Jong-ming was simply, and he reached out and took out a Christmas-wrapped gift box from his arms. "Christmas gift."

"Christmas?" Chu Long became confused for a moment like Endi who was about to fall asleep upstairs. "Today is New Year's Day, right?"

"What's there to pay attention to on New Year's Day? It's Christmas, you must not forget it." Kim Jong-ming replied with a smile.

"That's true." Chu Long was slightly stunned and reacted. Christmas is indeed a bit special to the two.

"I'll take it back and take it out. Now I'll have something to say to you." Just as Chu Long was about to lower his head to take it apart, Jin Zhongming suddenly spoke again.

"Yes." Chu Long obediently put away the gift box, then followed the other party and walked along the alley. She seemed a little excited when she looked.

"I'm so sorry." Kim Jong-ming closed his eyes off the other party. "I've been a little nervous these days, I've ignored you a little, and I've even forgotten about Christmas."

"What's the matter? I actually quite understand your hard work."

"It may not be hard work, it's just a little nervous." Jin Zhongming shook his head and smiled. "And Longlong, I am not a fool. Is my actions suitable? Do you still have any clues in your heart?"

"For an oriental man, career should be a part of life, right?" Chu Long was still defending the other party.

"Maybe." Kim Jong-ming nodded. "For traditional Eastern men, career achievements themselves will intoxicate them, and I am no exception... But now is not the time to talk about this."

Chu Long glanced at the other party with a little careful look. She had now understood a little bit. The other party should have some important things to say to her... But, what exactly is it?

"It's 2014." Looking up at the lights of the Nanshan Tower in the distance, Jin Zhongming said a huge truth.

"Yes." Chu Long nodded absent-mindedly. "Just an hour..."

"I'm going to serve this fall." Kim Jong-ming continued to say calmly.

Chu Long was stunned immediately, but for a moment he didn't know what to say...

Shocked? There should be one thing. Although the other party has revealed similar information to him for a long time, it is still a bit uneasy to say that he will serve this year;

Looking forward? Maybe there is one thing. The other party promised him that he would get married and serve before he was thirty, which means that the two were involved in time arrangements. If the other party was old, it means that when he came back, they would probably have a substantial arrangement, so of course they were looking forward to it;

Are you reluctant to leave? There must be some. Although the two have been very busy all the time, if they really go to serve, they will probably be completely isolated for two or three years. So how can they be willing to give up?

At the same time, many things and things will appear to be traced to this sentence... The promise I had reiterated to myself in the office inexplicably; a variety show that was created specifically for Krystal and Sika that was almost indulgent and compensation; leaving "runningman" early; and couldn't wait to make up for the shortcomings in the film's achievements...

Of course, there is also the anxiety and urgency that is inevitable when doing these things.

"Oppa, is there any explanation for the time of service?" After coming back to his senses, Chu Long hurriedly caught up and asked a key question.

"Of course there are." Kim Jong-ming replied frankly. "After all, I am a businessman worth billions of dollars. I am a figure in South Korea. With the kind of Korean army... that kind of bad. If I go in casually, someone who doesn't like me will collude with the army and take the opportunity to throw me to death..."

"You can't go?" Chu Long stopped and blurted out.

"It's just an extreme description, a low-probability event." Kim Jong-ming lowered his head and smiled, and then walked forward, which forced Chu Long to keep up again. "As for the question of whether to go or not, if I don't say, how much reputation capital will be taken away with my status, it will bring me an absolute amulet. If I can't go, there is actually an unusually critical issue here, that is, the dual nationality of the United States and South Korea in me now. This thing is actually a very ambiguous existence. Everything will naturally be safe before there is a problem. But what if the day the dish comes to the stage, or the situation changes more greatly, the environment does not allow such ambiguous things to continue to exist? Considering that my current foundation is already in Korea, it's better to declare a certain choice early and take the opportunity to exchange for some capital..."

"But...even if you don't talk about the danger, what should you do after entering the army?" Chu Long was still a little worried. "Isn't serving like going to jail?"

Kim Jong-ming laughed immediately after hearing this: "So, since you have to go in, you must be fully prepared. There are many reasons for me to choose to serve this year. Do you know? In recent years, due to the economic development, the commercial value of land in various places is getting heavier, and huge bases in downtown Seoul, such as Yongsan Base, which is in the center of Seoul, have become inappropriate. So after our new president came to power, we discussed with the Americans and have already begun to build a huge US military base in South Korea. The expected completion time is 2017, and most of the US military will be moved there. In this process, some small military bases will be vacated one after another with the reorganization of the US military, and will be entrusted to private security companies for maintenance before they are completely abandoned... Have you rarely seen Zhang Chengwen represented in the past six months?"

"Yes!" Chu Long looked suddenly. "Kara's Goo Hara asked me, are you going to deal with the military base for Oppa?"

"That's right." Kim Jong-ming nodded, ignoring Goo Hara's question. "He recently helped me take over a base in Busan. It would be my most suitable and comfortable service location, but I must spend the entire service period before the handover is completed to make me feel completely relieved."

Chu Long then relaxed. If he was serving in his military base, there would naturally be no problem with security and external communication. It is no wonder that his oppa would kill time.

"Just just now, the president has already helped me with some of the work done here and then officially notified me. This is a way for both parties to cooperate and win-win. As a representative of the rich, I will bring her a lot of fame. Before the base is abandoned, I will be responsible for maintaining it, which can save money for her. After the abandonment, the land will be sold to me first, and I will have a greater profit... But in this way, there should be no major changes in the approximate time of service." At this point, the two have arrived at the back of the cube company building, and Kim Jong-ming finally stopped. "So today I am looking for you, not just to make up a Christmas gift. The key is that I think this kind of thing should be the first to tell you."

Chulong nodded seriously.

"I'm really a little anxious recently, I'm sorry." Kim Jong-ming continued to look at the other party.

Chu Long hesitated for a moment, then nodded seriously again.

Kim Jong-ming immediately laughed, then lowered his head and kissed the other person on the cheek: "Then go back and have a rest early."

Chu Long nodded seriously again, then turned around and ran away.

"Representative." As soon as Long's back disappeared around the corner, he followed the bodyguard in the distance and leaned over directly. "It seemed like there was a reporter just now. It should be the entertainment reporter who was originally guarding the apink dormitory building. He followed him all the way. What should I do?"

"We have to go back to bed." Jin Zhongming waved his hands distractedly. "There is no need to worry about reporters, and there is no need to worry about them. Not to mention whether he dares to dare, it doesn't matter if he really dares to post the news."

The bodyguard immediately stopped.

In fact, Kim Jong-ming's guess was very accurate. Although the entertainment journalist followed along, he did not dare to report it at all. However, even so, from the first day of New Year's Day in 2014, the Korean entertainment news headlines still belonged to Kim Jong-ming, and it was exclusive.

The box office of "The Veteran" exceeded 700,000 viewers on the first day of the New Year's Day;

The total box office exceeded 2 million moviegoers during the three-day New Year's Day holiday;

It exceeded 3 million in five days;

It exceeded 5 million in a week;

Two weeks after its release, on the 14th day, the cumulative number of viewers of this movie reached 10.27 million, becoming another Korean movie of tens of millions, and also set a new record for the shortest achievement of this achievement!

Korean media commented on this that the original comics with a huge fan base, smooth plots, distinctive characters, CJ Pictures' light industrial modulation, plus the four actors and a director at their peak, this movie is good enough.

And if you add an excellent schedule and don’t have any pressure on your opponent, then you can be said to be in the right time, place and people.

What is more particularly worth mentioning is that Kim Jong-ming's extraordinary performance in "The Veteran" interprets the villain role of this movie to a point where he is almost unique, and has raised this movie, which is already qualified to enter the 10 million mark, and has become a model of commercial movies!

And amid the boasting sounds like adding fuel to the fire, as usual, the crew of "The Veteran" officially held a celebration banquet at the Hyundai Building near Zhongwu Road... All crew members and many media naturally arrived as scheduled.

"Mr. Kim Jong-ming."

"senior!"

"represent!"

The opening speech was made by Liu Chengwan, but the first glass of wine naturally came to Kim Jong-ming.

"Everyone." Faced with the enthusiasm, Kim Jong-ming did not refuse, but smiled and stood up and picked up the wine glass. "According to the data of booking tickets a week in advance, at the end of the third week, our "Veter" should have exceeded the 13 million mark..."

With a roar... a heat wave with a flash was instantly raised.

"Then, I decided to fix the effective release period of the movie within one month. I think the estimated box office of more than 14 million is enough to comfort you all the hard work before."

Another wave of heat surged, which made Kim Jong-ming smile and stretched out his hand to stop these people from continuing to make noise: "Okay, no matter what, since everyone comes to toast me, this glass of wine will still be drunk. Let's get up and say, since it is destined to break the box office record of Korean movies, at this time, my glass of wine is nothing more than two routines, one is more lively and the other is more serious. The lively one is naturally the leader to make a comeback, for example, let our actresses stand at the Shili CGV Cinema every day from tomorrow, and each person has to carry an audience to enter the venue before they can do something else..."

The laughter erupted again, and Eun-jing, Yoona, and Kang Min-kyung's table became the focus. If Kim Jong-ming hadn't finished speaking, everyone would have begun to coerce these actresses to agree.

"And if you are more serious, you should naturally talk about the pioneering achievements of your seniors." At this point, Kim Jong-ming's expression finally became serious. "From "Shiwei Island" directed by Kang Youshuo in 2003, "Tai Chi Flag Flying" directed by Kang Di-kyuk in 2004, "Hanjiang Monster" directed by Bong Joon-ho in 2006, and then to "Rogue Alliance" directed by Choi Dong-hoon the year before, we have to thank them one by one, and even the first glass of wine is very suitable to toast them... Just how do you say it? As juniors who have achieved success by stepping on the shoulders of their predecessors, we are also qualified to be arguing at this moment, so we have to toast ourselves for this glass of wine! Everyone..."

The audience immediately stood up with the cup.

"To celebrate our lucky luck, we will be half better than the son of heaven! Cheers!" After saying that, Jin Zhongming raised his left hand holding the wine glass and drank it all in one go.
