Chapter 058 Farce Actor
The first rain since autumn finally stopped. The four consecutive days of rain were enough to dispel all people's enthusiasm. For example, "The Unreserved" released in the hot sky, the movie successfully made everyone forget it in just three or four days!
To be fair, whether it is director Song Hae-sung, starring Song Seung-heon, Joo Jin-mo, or even fingerprint, they all have such a hint of self-knowledge. Perhaps before the movie was released, especially after the three movies of "The Righteous Brothers", "Moss" and "Uncle" came out one after another, their hearts were already getting cold, but they didn't expect the funnel to have such a big effect!
What is the funnel effect? It’s very simple. As the worst mainstream commercial film this year, you must enjoy the ‘worst’ treatment, not the treatment you should have for the real movie quality. In fact, against the backdrop of many other movies, this is not only the previous three, but even includes the other two classic works that are not male crime themes - "The Beginning and End of the Kim Fu-nam Murder" and "Poetry"... In short, under the crushing of so many classic high-quality movies, the movie "The Unreliable" can almost only rely on the individual fans of the four male protagonists to maintain decent status!
Among them, especially "Kim Funam", this super-small-cost movie that almost didn't have money to shoot is very powerful in describing an isolated housewife who was suffering from domestic violence and eventually killed her husband. As a result, it was a strong crush on "The Unreliable" in September! It was obvious that investment, cast, producer, and publicity efforts were not of the same level, but "Kim Funam" was both well received and popular, while "The Unreliable" could only pick up his head and squat on the ground to report the measurements of a group of high-quality movies...
In short, just two or three days after the movie was released, it was obvious that from theaters to audiences to film critics, and even the fingerprint company itself gave up on this movie! Because not only no one compared this movie with other movies, no one even had the intention to scold it. The movie ratings of major websites were stable between 4-6 points in just two days!
This is simply embarrassing!
What does Song Joong-ki say? The so-called "Excellent plot, great actors, and achieved both box office and reputation success"... Of course, this is a panacea for the media that collected money to maintain their own "reputation of money to do business" without any means. There are indeed a lot of media writing like this, but when you turn the page, you will find that the next section is a large-scale editorial article discussing how women's rights are protected in remote areas...
In short, everyone cares about domestic violence, and "The Unreserved" is more like a farce!
However, it was not only the Korean media who had encountered a farce that received money, but Kim Jong-ming was shocked to find that he actually had the potential to become a farce actor.
"So... Mom..." In his living room, Jin Zhongming looked at Little Beck with his eyes blankly and kept circling around his feet but stopped talking. "Do you know what good things you did?"
"Don't say that to me." Ms. Quan Zhenshu looked indifferent. She was still in the mood to reach out and pick up the puppy and look at it for a few times. "I'm not a fool. I was just surrounded by those women at a banquet, and then I felt a little dizzy for a moment."
"But what you are touching is your son's mind." Kim Jong-ming corrected seriously. "You want to push him into the fire pit."
"Actually, I was really moved by the words at that time." Kwon Zhenshu still looked indifferent. "Wood, in fact, I still think that what they said makes sense to some extent... New Baker is a little bitch? Not bad, quite healthy."
"What's the point of selling your son?" Kim Jong-ming raised his head and lay on the sofa with a little annoyed. It's raining these days. When he comes back, he stays on the balcony and looks at the rain outside the window. Thinking about the restructuring of the male protagonist in "The Furnace". However, the so-called spring is in a state of difficulty, and the structure of the new character has a certain degree of result, but he often yawns and sleeps directly on the balcony for a long time.
"Wood, look." Kwon Jinshu put down Little Beck and let the little guy twist his chubby butt and ran to the shoe rack in the entrance hall. By the way, this age puppy became curious about everything after getting familiar with the environment. "No matter what, your largest company and reliance in South Korea are still the industry in Busan at present, right?"
"It's true from the moment." Kim Jong-ming did not deny it.
"So what is the industry that complements the most powerful enterprises in your area?"
"Of course it's logistics, otherwise I wouldn't let Han Jin touch my plate." Kim Jong-ming suddenly understood what his mother meant. "But Han Jin and I are disproportionate and cannot complement each other."
"But what about simple shipping?" Quan Zhenshu asked disapprovingly. "Do you know Han Jin's affairs better than me?"
Kim Jong-ming was silent because of this. Of course, I am not as clear as the human resources minister of Han Jin's headquarters.
"Now Han Jin is almost entirely dependent on bank blood transfusions to survive." Kwon Jinshu explained to his son seriously. "The small logistics service industry is good, it is the only profitable, but the scale is too small; the aviation industry barely protects itself, and there may be a certain probability that it will turn losses into profits after the economic situation completely improves; but shipping is basically at a collapse pace. I think your funds are already qualified to marry Han Jin's internal shipping system. Although they have been losing money, for an island country, how much does it mean to have so many freight ships from the world's largest logistics company have? That's not just an economic account. What's more, there are also the docks in Incheon and Busan? If you can get involved in the latter, even if it's only a part, it's enough to take you to a higher level!
"That's it." Kim Jong-ming, who had been slumped on the sofa and listening to his mother's introduction, still looked helpless. "What role can Kang Min-kyung play? She is just someone's granddaughter, not a granddaughter. As far as I know, her father has lost the right to speak within the family because of his inappropriate work. If he loses the favor of the helmsman in this kind of big family, they are actually nothing, so now this person is no longer a little princess from Han Jinhai Transport!"
"But if she marrys you, she will definitely become a little princess again, the real one." Quan Zhenshu's answer was simple and cruel. "And I have also noticed the little girl, and she said nothing about her figure and appearance..."
"So I said you are pushing your son into the fire pit." Kim Jong-ming glanced at his mother, and then interrupted the other party without hesitation. "Someone told me that if you want to live alone with you for the rest of your life, you must not mix any interests in this relationship. But you are good. This is a marriage that requires a naked marriage? Make profits first and then cultivate feelings? If this is true, I might as well find Soo-young. Then it is a big bunch of Choi named Choi in the Qingtandong, who is not stronger than Han Jin? What's more, even if you put aside personal concepts, this kind of big family is mixed, and it will definitely not be so simple after marriage. There are ten people, and you have to play a large palace fighting scene for all Korea to see... I think your son's reputation is quite valuable."
"So I didn't deny what you said." Ms. Quan Zhenshu still looked indifferent. "It was just at the banquet, and the atmosphere was lively. I drank a few more drinks, and I was surrounded by a group of people. I didn't refuse. But as soon as I got home, I felt something was wrong and didn't mention it to you at all. She just pretended not to remember this, but she didn't expect the other party to persevere...so..."
“So what?”
"So you go and fool it, just have to leave if you don't like it?"
Kim Jong-ming held his forehead and hesitated for five minutes before he sat up speechlessly. He wanted to make himself a farce actor. Isn't this not possible, his old ability?
"Well, when? Where?"
"Tonight, your mother Zheng's cafe."
"What's the matter?"
"What's wrong? Isn't it okay?"
"No, no," Jin Zhongming was speechless. "But mom, it seems that you really want to get rid of this trouble as soon as possible?"
"To a certain extent, compared to you, my mother has many strengths. For example, when facing such small things, I will never drag on it!"
“…”
"Ermao is not at home, clean up, take Baker with you, and set off!"
Jin Zhongming stood up powerlessly.
Zheng’s mother’s cafe is in Apgujeong. The store is presented by Kim Jong-ming in the first half of this year. The interior decoration that Sika had before going to Japan was not big or small. Anyway, she could only make an ordinary casual cafe like twenty or thirty people, so she was considered to find something for her idle mother Zheng. From Kim Jong-ming’s residence, who was also in Apgujeong, the mother and son came to their destination in less than five minutes.
However, Kim Jong-ming was stunned as soon as he arrived here, because there were quite a few guests here, and there was no private room or private room here. It would be nice to be able to be in a corner by the window. I feel that these two mothers are going to perform this farce in public!
There was no time to make adjustments and reactions! Because when guests saw Kim Jong-ming and Baker, they almost lined up to seek a photo and autograph.
In fact, there are so many cafes in Apgujeong. Many people just glance at them after they are tired of shopping. Then suddenly they remember that this new store that has no impression of seems to be a store promoted by Girls' Generation Sika on SNS, so they walked in. To a large extent, they just held the purpose of maybe seeing Sika or Krystal or even... Kim Jong-ming?
So, Kim Jong-ming smiled helplessly and held a coffee group photo exhibition. Fortunately, Baker's appearance attracted half of his attention, and he was the most difficult young female customer... So when the time was about to be agreed, with Kang Min-kyung and his mother coming as promised, the whole store became quieter - those who didn't come in didn't have the coffee to come in and wanted to take a photo, right?
However, the quiet became quiet, but everyone was watching a show, drinking coffee and eating desserts, while gossiping at this place, and there were young people secretly holding their mobile phones and pressing them against this place.
And the next thing is actually nothing to say.
In front of everyone, Kim Jong-ming accompanied Kang Min-kyung and three elders to drink two cups of coffee and talked a lot of gossip. Then, starting from religious beliefs, Kim Jong-ming clearly sang a counter-tongue with Kang Min-kyung's mother.
“I’m atheist who dozed off in church.”
By the way, the elder opposite turned pale as soon as he said this, and Jiang Min-kyung became a little uneasy.
"In fact, I have a very difficult time understanding the current situation of Catholicism in South Korea. It is too messy and too complicated. So after I come to Korea, I usually adopt the attitude of how far I can hide." Seeing the unexpected effect, Kim Jong-ming naturally had to talk freely. "In fact, both mothers, Sika and Krystal, both of them are deeply influenced by me on the issue of faith. They were originally very pious because of experiencing racial turmoil in Los Angeles. Now I have been led by me. Although Krystal still has a cross, he has not been to church for a year. I wonder if I do this in God's eyes, I am considered a sinner."
"God always loves the world." Kang Min-kyung mustered up the courage to show his position and refute it.
"That's what it means." Kim Jong-ming's acting skills are really good. "I actually hate this sentence very much."
"What sentence?" Jiang Min-kyung's face turned pale. "God always loves the world?"
"That's right." Kim Jong-ming shrugged. "Because of this sentence, I have not had a close relationship with Panny of Girls' Generation until now. You know, although I met her in Los Angeles as early as elementary school, it was because she always wanted me to be more religious... Forget it, let's not discuss the church, okay? I feel bad when I think of this."
The mother and daughter opposite each other looked even worse. Their family's attitude towards the church was extremely pious, and Kim Jong-ming's attitude was really hard for them to accept.
However, in fact, Zheng's mother, who is also very pious to Catholicism, did not say anything, because she knew Kim Jong-ming's true attitude towards religion. This naughty child is indeed an atheist, but not so pure. Basically, he will always be respectful when he sees gods and Buddhas, and will not easily interfere with the beliefs of his family. In addition, he is also a typical pragmatist. If the church can bring him benefits, he will immediately tell others that he was baptized as a child... Well, he is an extremely pious Christian, and may even hang a inferior cross necklace on his chest! And if Cao Xi Sect can bring him benefits, he must have held someone's hand and said that he was deeply influenced by senior Cui Minzhi, and has developed a great interest in Zen recently. The so-called "all Buddha's seals are not obtained from others"...
"Actually." Kim Jong-ming decided to strike while the iron is hot. "Under the influence of Senior Choi Min-zhi and other Buddhists in the company, I have been very interested in Buddhist Zen recently. In addition, I haven't been to church for a long time, so I suspect that my belief can be officially changed to a Buddhist of the Caoxi Sect. The so-called 'The seals of all Buddha Dharmas are not obtained from people', Zen Buddhism emphasizes personal inner cultivation. If I can maintain a heart towards Buddha..."
The two mothers looked at each other, and the mother and daughter on the opposite side also looked at each other, and the four of them lowered their heads together.
Needless to say, what happened later turned out to be. It turns out that Kim Jong-ming is not only an excellent movie and TV drama actor, but also an excellent farce actor. Dozens of people in and outside the store were watching, and he talked sharply, and the farce lasted only half an hour and was successfully concluded by him.
At 7:30 pm, the mother and daughter who had completely noticed Kim Jong-ming's intentions took the initiative to stand up and say goodbye. Neither of the party raised more and more in-depth topics... However, this was better, Kim Jong-ming didn't want to cause any misunderstandings, and he would cause trouble again.
But if misunderstanding such things can be avoided, it is not called misunderstanding.
Kang Min-kyung must have no misunderstanding, because as soon as she got home, Ms. Kwon Jin-suk called Kim Jong-ming and Kang Min-kyung's mother had called her to express her tactfully that there was no need to communicate in depth. This is the woman's privilege, so of course.
However, Kim Jong-ming ignored the existence of the audience. These people may not have heard his religious remarks, but in their opinion, this is a big gossip! Everyone is adults, and blind dates, who doesn’t understand? So Kim Jong-ming just returned home, and the online media there have begun to hype scandals. Of course, it doesn’t matter. This is Kim Jong-ming’s attitude after receiving Su Xiaoya’s reminder. It’s the scandals that he doesn’t care about, and Kang Min-kyung doesn’t care. Who cares?
The answer is that there is a creature called Quanbaolan who cares about it.
ps: There is also a book friend group 457160898, everyone add it. By the way, Coffee is still, did you call it wrong this time? (To be continued.)
