The matter between Jiang Min-kyung ended here, and nothing was left except for a scandal without a head or tail. Quan Baolan returned with a loss and did not give back any unnecessary information; Ms. Li Jingshu continued to run the coffee shop with peace of mind, and Ms. Quan Zhenshu was still busy every day like two other parents who were still working; Sika debuted in Japan and looked very prosperous; Krystal started her own group variety show, and she also had to prepare to participate in the company's family concert along the way. I don't know if she would get fatter again when she came back; Chu Long's career as a trainee has also reached a key point, and various strange courses have squeezed her life full...

In addition, even the coal was taken away by Busan prosecutor Zheng Wuli, so Kim Jong-ming suddenly found that he was abandoned by everyone, just like the poor little Beck. In his whole life, he seemed to be the only one who was left with a newly weaned puppy for life.

Affected by this, Kim Jong-ming's daily life throughout September seemed extremely simple. This simplicity starts every morning. Specifically, it is usually around 6:30 in the morning. At that time, morning practitioners passing by near the East Lake Bridge will see him. He must be carrying a white puppy to run on the river embankment under the bridge. After morning exercise, breakfast is naturally the case. Kim Jong-ming has been buying breakfast in the breakfast shop downstairs of his house for more than half a month, and then bringing him upstairs to Baker.

They shared the meal together. Later, they walked to the company to work. Of course, they couldn't take Baker at this time, but Baker was unexpectedly very obedient when he was alone at home. He could go to the toilet and drill under the sofa to play, which rarely gave Kim Jong-ming a headache when he returned home in the evening. At night, he would still sit on the balcony to conceive the script he had been worried about. Little by little, one by one, slowly the outline of the script came out. At this time, Baker would usually roll or sleep under his feet.

Day after day, that's all.

By the weekend, Kim Jong-ming had more choices. Sometimes he would accompany his two fathers to fish by the Han River. Although he usually acted as a driver and porter there, he would sleep when he was really fishing, and even the fish caught by his two fathers would become Baker's toys... However, he would always go fishing with his elders at home! And this is a very symbolic "filial piety" in South Korea.

Of course, you must not just fish. Kim Jong-ming sometimes chooses to go to Zheng’s mother’s cafe to “sit”. You read that right, just this word, it’s the table. When he sits there, Baker will have fun on the ground, and basically the cafe will be full. It is worth mentioning that Baker’s popularity seems to be far stronger than him, and he already has the potential of some internet celebrities. I even heard that someone has established a fanclub for it...

In addition, Kim Jong-ming sometimes goes to gatherings of young actors and accepts interviews from some media. This finally feels like an artist's normal life, but that's all. More often, his life trajectory is more like an ordinary person's turnover, dry and natural.

In fact, Kim Jong-ming did this not only because he was "abandoned" by the people around him, but also had a deliberate side, because life these days actually opened a long door for him. For a long time, as an artist and a successful businessman, he found that he had been out of his true life for too long. The real routine life brought him not only peace of mind, but also a little extra insight...

Even a little touched the script setting that he had never made up his mind. Now when he read the book "The Furnace" from the perspective of an ordinary person, the feeling of many things was completely different. He began to admire the writer Kong Zhiyong's observation of this society more and more, and began to accept and understand the details and concepts in the novel more and more.

Not to mention anything else, from the perspective of the so-called hero, aside from the final and beautiful ending, the whole novel is really touching, and the struggles of the protagonist in the whole book seem particularly real and helpless.

Because for a person who is immersed in life and needs to give everything for things like happiness or helplessness, such as food, food and food, the concept of hero is not so clear, but looking at the whole incident, almost everyone is just an ordinary person.

However, this profound perception brings pressure, because if such a good dish is in hand, it is your responsibility if it is broken.

In October, Kim Jong-ming had completely had his own ideas about the character of the male protagonist and even the tone of the entire movie script, and the script was roughly completed.

Then, since you have the idea and script, you can naturally start some preparations.

So, at the beginning of October, cube announced the decision to make the film "The Furnace" and started to audition three young actors at the same time. Kim Jong-ming did not use Kim Sylvie-ron. To be honest, Kim Sylvie-ron is a drama master, so it is not impossible to let her act, but the combination of Kim Jong-ming and Kim Sylvie-ron is too out of the way. "Uncle" is ahead of meticulous, so it is probably difficult for the audience to get rid of the impression of uncle and Xiaomi. Then, auditions are a must.

However, it is not only the young actors who need auditions, but also the heroines and directors must be recruited publicly, and the most troublesome one is the director. Kim Jong-ming needs a director who understands himself, but this director also needs to control the rhythm and atmosphere of the movie with his own experience and calmness... This seems particularly difficult.

Five or six directors who came to the door were politely rejected, and Kim Jong-ming didn't want to find a big-name director who was his ancestors. Otherwise, who would he listen to when he came to Bong Joon-ho?

However, hard work pays off. Just when he set off to Gwangju to check the venue one day, another man wearing black-framed glasses came to recommend himself. This time, Kim Jong-ming was completely moved.

"I'll introduce myself." The person who came is only in his forties, which is undoubtedly more like a newcomer who has just entered the industry in the Korean director world, and his self-introduction also confirms this. "My name is Hwang Dong-hyuk, and I currently have only one work that is a real director..."

"This doesn't matter." Kim Jong-ming chuckled. "Director Huang, please feel at ease... I think the key to the problem lies in the understanding of the film, it has nothing to do with experience."

"I think so." Huang Donghyuk spoke with a frivolous expression. He even blinked at Kim Jong-ming. Since he came to the office, he has always been smiling, which is completely different from those directors who looked bitter and revenge before. "So continue my self-introduction. I am your senior at Seoul University and a student who graduated from journalism. After graduation, I wanted to do movies, so I went to Nanka University to learn how to shoot movies. Before 2005, I actually had been hanging out in Hollywood..."

Kim Jong-ming instinctively underestimated the other party. No matter how high his education is, how American, Southern California, or Hollywood are, what's the matter with the director's level? What's more, you are a rookie director.

"Then you must have read the novel before you come?" No matter what you think, Kim Jong-ming immediately changed his name after the other party's senior was revealed, and he also poured a cup of coffee for the director himself. Among them, the subsequent actions were not deliberately pleasing. In fact, he has been like this to all directors these days, because for a creature like a Korean director, it is better to respect such small details, even if he himself is the best Korean director.

"Actually." Huang Donghe took the coffee and smashed his mouth. "I read the whole story carefully a long time ago, when the novel came out."

"Oh?" Kim Jong-ming became a little interested. "So what do you think of this novel?"

"First of all, of course, I was touched." Huang Donghe shrugged. "When you find that such a heartbreaking story is followed by a group of real victims, who will not be touched? What's more, I have always had a lot of feelings about the adaptation of such real events. My only official work is actually adapted from a real event, "My Father"... Daniel Henry's film..."

"I was very impressed." Jin Zhongming suddenly felt a lot of feelings about the person in front of him.

That's not because Kim Jong-ming really admired that movie for a long time, nor was he just perfunctorily and praised his seniors. The truth is because Daniel Henry defeated Jang Geun-suk at the Blue Dragon Awards for this movie and won the Best Newcomer! That's why he paid attention to and watched that movie.

Putting aside the political butt problem that made Kim Jong-ming uncomfortable in that movie, the quality of the whole movie is quite good, especially in the real burning of the four words. The calmness, bystander and restraint of some shots in the middle of the movie is very obvious, and this is exactly what Kim Jong-ming needs.

With this realist film experience alone, Huang Donghe has already thrown the previous directors aside.

"Is that?" Huang Donghe didn't care. "That doesn't mean it. We still have to go back to the novel "The Furnace" itself... To be honest, of course it's a big deal. In addition to being deeply touched, I feel that the ending of the novel is too pursuing storyline and artistic conception, which disappoints me a little."

"This is a necessity for artisticization." Jin Zhongming replied with a normal expression.

"But the male protagonist shouldn't be like that." Huang Donghe shook his head. "It's too ideal, it's completely inconsistent with my understanding of 'reality'. To be honest, are you an investor and copyright holder, or a male protagonist and editor? I'm just an interviewer today and shouldn't say much. But I still want to declare that if I am a director, the male protagonist and even the plot must be redesigned!"

"What does it mean?" Jin Zhongming still refused.

"The male protagonist wants to return to the feeling of a petty citizen." Huang Donghe put away the casual feeling before, and his tone became serious. "We need to design artistic images based on facts. In fact, the male protagonist has always been very cowardly and very petty citizen. Such a person should have a lot of weaknesses and handles. Unlike the purely intentional heroine, he is not qualified to persist all the way! Or, the male protagonist is not qualified to be idealized, which is determined by the real image behind him. As far as I know, real things can be made idealized in the short term and on the surface, but it is absolutely impossible to persist all the way. If that is true, then he must be a saint, and the bastards on the opposite side must have lost a long time ago because they are not qualified to face a saint..."

"I want to give you the three words "unqualified" to seniors." Kim Jong-ming, who kept bowing his head and silent, suddenly spoke. "I think so too. In fact, after I got the novel, I have been thinking about the theme of the movie, because although it is an adaptation, there is still a huge gap between the movie and the novel. These are two completely different artistic systems... And after thinking about it, I think the movie should really show not the judicial ** or the darkness encountered by the weak. Those that do not need us to deliberately create. After all, just putting reality there is very cruel, just take it out... So I think the most important tone we need to show, or the central axis of the whole film should be what you said 'not qualified'! The protagonist is not qualified to persist, but the audience is not qualified to accuse him. Everyone is not qualified to face such a thing calmly..."

"So what adjustments do you think should be made when changing to a script?" Huang Donghe was also very excited. "I hope to hear it carefully!"

"First of all, I want the protagonist to choose to surrender at critical moments and in the end." Kim Jong-ming finally revealed his true thoughts. "Just before he mustered up the courage to look straight into his conscience, his whole article should indeed be struggling like in the novel... But the final failure of things should also be due to his retreat."

"This takes a lot of courage." Huang Donghe rubbed his hands excitedly. "But it should be like this. In fact, I think writer Kong Zhiyong should have also noticed the result after real and real logic calculations, but she insisted on giving people a warm ending in the end... It's really a bit sighing."

"Writer Kong has his own considerations." Kim Jong-ming shook his head. "Just as if we were saying this sentence that was not qualified, we were not qualified to discuss and evaluate her. What she did was well enough. She was the first to stand up and speak out after things fell silent."

"You are right." Huang Donghe calmed down. "It is true, novels are novels, movies are movies. So, writer Kong Zhiyong's novels are very good, and your idea is also very good, and there is nothing to say."

"But this requires a secret and excellent screenwriter and editing." Kim Jong-ming added.

"We can do it!" Huang Donghe replied without hesitation, and then couldn't wait to continue asking. "You just said first, there must be second, and what about second?"

"Secondly." Kim Jong-ming looked down at his leather shoes. "I think we should show the indifference of the whole nation and the indifference of the petty citizens in the whole film. For a long time, no matter what form of literary works, it is actually not uncommon to tell examples of the powerful and the dark and decay of the upper class. However, no matter what it is, the concept of the bottom and basic people has always been correct... I think we need to make the audience realize that they are not qualified to accuse the protagonist of the final retreat. The reason for this result is not only the source of sin itself, but they have not spoken out themselves and are willing to be part of the furnace. It is also an important and even main reason for such a result. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand a little, but I don't understand a little." Huang Donghe answered frankly.

"I want to show a contradictory concept." Kim Jong-ming stretched out his hands and made an opposing gesture. "Indifference is an accomplice, but everyone is not qualified to accuse others of their indifference, because everyone is very cold. So in this movie, I hope to see the indifference of the whole people, not only the indifference in the government and judicial levels, but also teachers who have no sexual assault and violence at all but have always ignored all this, parents who have accepted the reconciliation book at critical moments, and ordinary people in Gwangju who chose to ignore it in the face of protests... But the most important thing is that whether it is the protagonist or those who choose to be indifferent, we must show their own helplessness... It is not that they personally don't want it, but that everyone is in this furnace, you have me and I have you, and I can melt the protagonist's conscience with others today, because my conscience has been melted by others... Just like the last warning in the book..."

"We are fighting all the way, not to change the world, but to prevent us from changing us!" Huang Donghe nodded and said. "When the video says this at the end, you must make people who don't understand feel angry, and you must make people who understand feel embarrassed!"

"That's enough." Kim Jong-ming laughed softly.

"Yes, that's enough." Huang Donghe also smiled and nodded.

Before he finished speaking, the landline phone number next to Kim Jong-ming suddenly rang, and Huang Dong-hyuk waved his hand and signaled that he was fine. So Kim Jong-ming immediately picked up the phone. Two minutes later, he hung up the phone and spread his hands on the edge of his desk and sat on the edge of his desk.

"What does it mean?" Huang Donghe was a little confused.

"A bad news." Kim Jong-ming suddenly felt a little funny. "I contacted the shooting site in Gwangju. I was going to see it with my own eyes today, but suddenly I changed my mind. The people from that school did not hide it from me... The municipal government put pressure on them. But... I was not angry, maybe I felt that I was not qualified, right?"

"We are really not qualified to say anything." Huang Donghe also smiled. "Besides, all living beings have their own difficulties. The school is local to Gwangju, and they have too many difficulties."

"However, if the movie can be successfully shot," Kim Jong-ming suddenly became solemn. "We are qualified to say something and some people!"

"It will definitely happen." Huang Donghe Surong stood up. "So, I hope we can have a happy cooperation."

"Then please give me a senior." Kim Jong-ming stood up and shook hands with the other party. "From now on, please worry more, including casting."

"The responsibility lies." Huang Donghe replied meticulously, and the last bit of casualness on him disappeared with this sentence.

By the way, after dividing it into two chapters yesterday, I actually lost 50 subscriptions. In the past, I could get 700 in 24 hours, but this time I only had 660... Isn't it appropriate to divide the small chapters?
Chapter completed!
