The interview began. Perhaps it was because of her dressing today and Kim Jong-ming's praise that made her very confident. Lee Zhen seemed very good at the question, or she was recognized by Kim Jong-ming again.

"Mr. Kim Jong-ming, I am Li Jin, an intern reporter of "Touching neytodaystarnes". I will ask the first question. Please take care of me." Li Jin, who is wearing a professional attire, looks like Han Jiaren, who has no beauty mole, looks serious and bows to Kim Jong-ming to say hello, and Kim Jong-ming naturally would not be rude to such a senior.

But to be honest, behind the natural and easy-going politeness of both sides, Kim Jong-ming's casualness and Lee Jin's forced behavior cannot be covered. After all, as the worst of the four people in.k.l, Lee Jin is actually very anxious now. Needless to say, Lee Hyo-ri really interpreted the word "female idol" in the group and solo. Now that people are tired of playing, they are all thinking about adopting stray dogs; Sung Yoo-ri is an actor who is super popular, and she is a recognized female i in the circle.

Dol's transformational actor success is second only to Yoon Eun Hye, and it's just the finale of the Best Actress Award; as for Yu Joo Hyun, this guy is very happy in musicals, and she is now recognized as the leader in the field of Korean musicals. And Lee Jin... She wants to learn from Sung Yu-ri as an actor, but she has never succeeded much. Otherwise, she wouldn't have participated in "Heroes" by her seniority and in.k.l, but in fact, even in this show, Lu Hong-cheol often jokes about her current popularity...

Well, back to the topic, Li Zhen has officially started asking questions. It can be seen that she is ready: "Mr. Kim Jong-ming, I did some research during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday and found that you seem to have never stopped investing in variety shows since your debut. "Infinite Challenge", "Two Days and One Night", "My End", "Youth Invincible"... These permanent variety shows have almost been endless for several years. This situation is very common in South Korea, because until now, the gap between the industry is still very large. Many movie actors are not even willing to participate in a variety show as guests, but you, the best director, and the winner of the Grand Prix, have not let go of variety shows for nearly five years, and even contain a considerable variety show component in your Baeksang Grand Prix honor... So what is the reason behind this phenomenon? Or, does the variety show have any special significance to you?"

Jin Zhongming put his hands together and put them beside his mouth, silently maintaining his expressionless image for three or four minutes. Not to mention Li Zhen, the program team PDFs in front of him were a little uneasy.

However, in the end, Kim Jong-ming spoke seriously: "To be honest, this is a big proposition. After so many journeys, it is too perfunctory to explain it with a standard answer. Although we are in a variety show, we can't be perfunctory, but I suddenly don't want to be perfunctory... To be honest, reporter Li, this answer no longer has any standard for me. But if you have to say it in detail, in chronological order, you really only have interest and favors at the beginning, and there is no other intention!"

"It's totally understandable." Li Zhen replied with a smile, and at the same time he was relieved of the other party's silence. "You entered the variety show from the "Infinite Challenge" five and a half years ago, that is, the year you entered the university. And the m Yoo Jae-suk and Jung Joon-ha in that show are both people you have known for a long time. They are interested because they are young, and they have no scruples because they have familiar people. Then they naturally participated in the two specials of "Infinite Challenge"..."

"That's right." Kim Jong-ming nodded affirmatively. "The process and reasons for the participation can be understood by anyone. Many things start with similar interests and interpersonal relationships. In fact, these things are well known now. But the next thing is as you suggest. My actor path has developed very well, but it was at that time that I accepted the permanent invitation from "Infinite Challenge"! This made many people not understand. I remember that many people advised me not to do variety shows, and being an actor will have more prospects... But... do you want to listen to the truth or lies to this answer?"

"Of course it's the truth." Li Zhen couldn't help but roll her eyes, but she finally confirmed that Kim Jong-ming was discussing this issue sincerely.

"The truth is that in addition to some of the real hobbies, there are two other reasons that can be played an important role in the promotion at that time. One is my natural stubborn temper. When those seniors all acted like they were good for me, I had to do the opposite. The other is that at that time, I felt that variety shows would sooner or later become an indispensable and important part of the Korean entertainment industry, and I had a considerable career speculation mentality in it."

Everyone in the living room raised their heads quickly or slowly with Kim Jong-ming's answer. Lu Shiyan and a few older people in the program team were still able to remain calm. Lu Hongzhe and Lee Hui-chao were a little surprised, while young people like iu and Park Ji-yeon were completely confused. They didn't know why Kim Jong-ming said such disagreement...Aren't they filming variety shows? Shouldn't they be funny?

"It's really practical." Li Zhen was also silent for a moment, then raised her eyebrows involuntarily. "What's going on? What made you stick to the previous "Youth Invincible"?"

"If you stick to this topic, you have to talk about it in a few layers." Kim Jong-ming sighed slightly. "During that period, especially in the early stage of "Two Days and One Night", there was no sign of success at all, but he was often exhausted by the show... Anyway, after coming back from tired and hungry more than once, he simply lay on the sofa in front of him like a dead person, and didn't even want to move the bed. There was even one time, it seemed that because he didn't have a meal on the show, he came back and overeated with Brother Zhiyuan and others, and then went to film. When he came back in the middle of the night, he had to be hospitalized because of stomach problems."

It seemed that I had recalled something again, Kim Jong-ming's tone was slowing down: "I'm not afraid of you laughing at you. During that time, I almost opened my eyes and closed my eyes to think about the next shooting day. I counted some time to wait for the day, and then I would feel restless all day long. This is because I felt like I was going to the execution ground before shooting. You... I don't know what hardships are waiting for you before. It's just nonsense to talk about what I want to do at this time. At that time, I didn't think about it. I just held my breath and wanted to prove something to some people! It's just that personality is at work!"

Lu Hongzhe lowered his head and twitched his fingers, not knowing what he was thinking.

"But when the second year of "Two Days and One Night", things turned around. The hard work before finally paid off. At this time, I had already seen the dawn of this career and saw everything I had expected before. And during that period until I got off the car later, the huge popularity this show brought to me was undoubtedly a very huge fortune. So the subsequent variety show history was completely mixed with a large number of realistic utilitarian factors! No one can ignore this factor, just like you said, how did my grand prize come from? And how did my national awareness come from? To be honest, Jang Dong-gun and Lee Byung-hun, who were not respectful to the predecessors, even the two of them who were at the same time couldn't envy my achievements during that period... Don't laugh, don't avoid it. It's the truth. If you paid so much in the end but had no reward, who could persist?"

Li Zhen quickly put away his smile and began to take notes seriously.

"The last one I have to say is the program "Youth Invincible". " Kim Jong-ming sighed again. He found that he seemed to be very energetic today, so he always thought too much. "I used to be the main show in this program, and the company also invested some money, and was considered half the director. It was not until the beginning of this program that I realized that I had formed my own variety show concept without realizing it. It was a variety show concept that was different from Yoo Jae-suk and Kang Ho-dong, but more appropriate to Luo Ying-suk PDF. From which program, I think I can add the word "literary ideal" when discussing variety shows."

After two seconds, Kim Jong-ming finally began to summarize Li Zhen's big proposition that I don't know if it was a big problem: "In short, the more than five years of variety show history is there. No matter how accidental it started, it has been around the corner... Variety shows have been imprinted with me. Not to mention what the form it is, but for me it is indeed an inseparable thing. For example, although I don't have variety shows now, I have invested in "Ningman" and "Heroes". Will SBS look for me without the previous shows?... It's not to be hiding this, don't care. Business is business, but doing business requires comparing and considering experience and connections..."

"So do you have any idea of ​​continuing to stay or starting a new variety show?" Li Zhenshun was about to continue. She knew very well that whether it was "Heroes" or "Touching neytodaystarnes" there, there would not be a word left in this interview today, because not to mention that the other party rarely accepts such interviews, even if there is an interview, he would rarely give such serious and honest answers.

At this time, if you don’t seize the opportunity, it’s not Li Zhen! Although, she always felt a little scared after her statement.

"No!" Kim Jong-ming hesitated for a moment. "I have no idea for at least half a year. I was too tired in the past two or three years and needed some rest and adjustments. Moreover... I have been very busy with movies recently, and with some other things, I always have to make choices when necessary."

"So that's it." Li Zhen had forgotten to ask a few questions. "So since we mentioned getting off at "Two Days and One Night", what do you think of Jiang Hudong and M Meng? M Meng has just ended his public welfare labor sentence after such a long period of judicial litigation."

"I can't watch it! I'll cause trouble for them after I watch it. Brother Hudong is a little better. As soon as I open my mouth, some people will think that I'm using my influence to help him privately. So I dare not watch it!" Jin Zhongming didn't blink when he spoke, but while answering this question, he raised his hand and pressed the indicator light.

Li Zhen immediately reacted, and his question was indeed a bit... a little embarrassed. The other group of staff members of "Heroes" sitting were also a little unaware of what to say. On the one hand, they wanted to laugh at Li Zhen for losing his composure, but on the other hand, they didn't know what to say when facing this topic. Although this news has been very popular recently, Li Zhen still seemed a little frivolous when asked in front of Kim Jong-ming...

Park Ji-yeon sat over in a daze: "oppp?"

"Oh." Jin Zhongming got up and took two cups of yogurt and straw from the refrigerator, and handed them a cup.

"It's a question!" The voice should be Naha talking behind her. "Mr. Kim Jong-ming can press the light with plenty of room."

There was another burst of laughter in the living room, which caused Baker to scream vigilantly on the balcony again. The stiff atmosphere just now improved a lot for a while.

"Ask." Kim Jong-ming didn't even raise his head.

"oppa..." Ji Yeon seemed to have a real problem.

"You must call him Mr. Kim Jong-ming." Naha was interrupting again. Her setting in this show was a bit annoying, and she was basically a wild girl who was unruly.

"Mr. Kim Jong-ming." Ji Yeon really changed his name. "I just acted in a movie before, and the box office was pretty good, but my evaluation was one-sided. They all said that your performance in the last ten minutes of "Uncle" beat ten best actors in acting. So I want to ask you, are there any tricks for acting?"

"No." Kim Jong-ming was silly laughed at the other party's question at the beginning. "This thing is just as good as academic performance, it's just luck, talent, hard work, and experience. However, if you can find some roles that fit you in from the beginning and get started, it will be twice the result with half the effort."

"Oh!" Zhiyan responded simply and asked the next question. "The second question is, what should I do if the grasshopper is frozen to death? Do I need to dig a hole and buried it?"

The laughter in the living room could no longer be suppressed, and even seniors like Lu Shiyan and a bunch of staff couldn't help laughing.

"I usually throw it away..." Kim Jong-ming replied with difficulty. "However, if the relationship is really deep, I suggest you try frying or marinating and eating it, so that you can blend together."

The little dinosaur was stunned, but was driven away by Jin Zhongming's quick indicator lights.

Thanks to the interruption of the little dinosaur, communication became easier. People like Lu Shiyan, who are at the godmother level of songs, naturally know how to measure things, and will no longer ask about variety shows. Although Hong Xiuer and Seo In-young envy Park Ji-yeon and Kim Jong-ming's casualness, they also know that they have nothing to do with each other, so they are more careful and cautious when asking questions, and the questions they ask are often routine gossip questions.

Kim Jong-ming was also very cooperative in this regard. He basically had two or three questions for each person, and found an excuse to press the light in about five minutes... The only exception was Shin Feng-sun. As soon as she came up, she asked about the previous scandal with Kang Min-kyung, and then Kim Jong-ming immediately pressed the light and told her to get out without delaying for a second.

However, when it was Liu Renna's turn, she asked a question that made Kim Zhongming's heart slightly move.

The question is simple: "How does Mr. Kim Jong-ming view the cross-border issues of actors, idols, and funny artists?"

This question is very good, because Kim Jong-ming is the most exaggerated one in cross-border activities and is also very successful. Outsiders seem to his friend Jang Geun-soo is also imitating him and is constantly cross-border activities. Although it is not so successful, it cannot be said to be a failure, especially because this guy is still very popular in the idol-style mode! Even Song Joong-ki and Lee Kwang-soo go to "Ningman" and are considered to be learning about Kim Jong-ming, or at least influenced by him.

"I support cross-border." Kim Jong-ming thought for a few seconds before setting a tone for this question. "The entertainment industry in the future is destined to become more and more blurred in identity. Idol acts and actors do variety shows, these things are the general trend and cannot be changed, and sooner or later everyone will adapt to it."

If you want to be perfunctory, this question ends here. However, after pausing or hesitating for a while, Kim Jong-ming took the initiative to continue: "But there is a problem now. I mentioned it at the award ceremony of the Baeksang Awards very early, that is, the so-called hidden identity level issue. Actors always feel that they are nobler than singing, and those who sing seem to think that they are better than funny artists. And the so-called cross-border now is more about lower-level upward movements. For example, the most obvious trend at present is that idols are trying their best to transform into actors... This is not good!"

I don’t know how many people in the room felt a little sad.

"In fact, I think there is no distinction between high and low careers, not to mention that the times are changing. Those who are in the upper class of the circle should also put down their airs and take the initiative to engage in some things they looked down upon before, otherwise they will be out of date!"

Liu Renna regrets asking this question a little.

But Kim Jong-ming didn't care at all. Perhaps he was thinking a little too much today, or maybe he had a whim for a while. But in fact, after talking to Li Zhen before, he suddenly realized that he no longer needed to cover up some topics. In fact, he was already qualified to act as an opinion leader in this circle, and at least on the surface, few people dared not accept it!

"Given the simplest example." Kim Jong-ming continued to talk, and his tone accelerated a lot. "Many big-name actors are disdainful of doing variety shows. For more extreme examples, many movie actors even disdain to act in TV series after they stand on the big screen. In my opinion, these things are ridiculous... Sooner or later, such people will be abandoned by the times."

Liu Renna hesitated and did not dare to answer the conversation.

"Of course, due to the professionalism of the actors, the gap between movies and TV series does exist. Even if I go to TV series, I also require enough room for time, so this example is indeed a bit extreme. So, to be more direct, I refer to the kind of person who is unwilling to let go of his figure because of his ideas! I am really disgusted with such people." At this point, Kim Jong-ming had no scruples at all and almost let go. "So I have a special personal habit when making friends with big-name actors, that is, first, see if he has appeared on variety shows. People who are in their forties but have not appeared on them basically have to reduce the favorability of 50 yuan. Those who have been to guests will be added 20 yuan, and those who have stayed in the regular will basically be friends!"

"There are always some people who have special reasons." Liu Renna felt that she had to speak at this time, otherwise someone would not dare to hate Kim Jong-ming, and might hate her. "For example, personality...uh... personality..."

"Of course I know." Kim Jong-ming shrugged indifferently. "For example, Senior Choi Min-sik is dedicated to Buddha, and his spare time is either taking care of his old mother or worshiping Buddha. You won't blame him after knowing this kind of thing. The same is true for Senior Kim Yoon-seok. The elder brother didn't know where to put his hands when he was interviewed two years ago. It was a disaster for you to let him go on variety shows. Who would say what these two people in this situation? But I also said that it is my personal likes and dislikes, my personal impression, I just don't like those who pretend to be noble, so I'm not going to explain anything. When will South Korea not express personal ideas?"

Liu Inna laughed dryly. South Korea never allowed to express personal ideas! And the so-called freedom of speech is actually just for a real upper class person like you!

However, after thinking about it this way, she figured it out. Kim Jong-ming is indeed qualified to fire here, just like provoking Lee Byung-hun before. Who said what? On the contrary, he felt that he should be like that. At a certain point, he should have chosen a person like Lee Byung-hun to establish his authority. In the end, Lee Byung-hun's surrender made the incompleteness of the melon-eating crowd in the circle who wanted to watch the fun.

"Tell me just." Kim Jong-ming became more and more happy the more he said. "It's my teacher, our national actor, Mr. An Shengji. I often advised him to go to the last variety show, but he was always embarrassed..."

"Does this also have a debu with a 50-point preference reduction?" Liu Renna also had a little let go.

"Of course." Kim Jong-ming shook his head and said. "It's just that the teacher-student relationship has a favorability of +200, and the relationship has already overflowed."

"Then are you really sure to convince yourself that the teacher?" Liu Renna began to answer questions and answers.

"Look, I will definitely bring him "Breast Nningman" once!" Kim Jong-ming responded without hesitation. "Even if it's a debu who doesn't appear on variety shows for him, it's the case!"

"But why do you have to be obsessed with "Breast Nningman"?"

"It's not about "Breast Nningman", but about variety shows in the new era." Kim Jong-ming changed his hand and foot posture and continued to narrate calmly. "I always like to say that the times, people can change the times, but people need to adapt to the times more. In my opinion, in the future, Korean variety shows will enter an era of great explosion, and they may even replace the Korean dramas in the "Blue Life and Death Love" era and the idols in the Oriental God-Raise era, and then become the main output culture of Korean waves. At that time, more actors will take variety shows as the main performance platform, and more actors will regard variety shows as the way to accumulate popularity for their works... This is the general trend. Korean variety shows are destined to grow into a basic tray for the entire Korean entertainment industry at an extremely fast rate in the next few years."

"Is this why you invest heavily in variety shows?" Liu Renna asked curiously. "Are you that sure?"

"Yes, I'm just so sure. No one can stop this trend, it's okay to be unwilling to accept it, and it's not okay to look down on it. Apart from taking the initiative to accept it, it will only be abandoned." Kim Jong-ming said with confidence. "And I can tell you honestly that my investment in variety shows will never be limited to SBS and these two shows!"

"What about the movie?" Liu Renna did not dare to ask further, but instead whispered to reverse the topic.

"What?" Jin Zhongming didn't react for a moment.

"How do you think of the Korean film industry?" Liu Inna asked seriously.

"It is reviving!" Kim Jong-ming replied without hesitation. "The entire Korean entertainment market will usher in a booming period, but Korean movies have been glorious for countless times, and have just experienced a trough period of nearly collapse, so we can only say that it is reviving!"

"When it comes to the topic of Korean film revival, many people say that you have made great contributions in it." Liu Inna now knows how to flatter. "Especially this year's recovery craze..."

"This is the result of all the seniors and colleagues working together." Kim Jong-ming quickly made a correction. Variety shows are not the same weight as movies. He can wear some hats by himself, but he can't wear some hats. "Just like this crime film collectively burst into warming up the market, this is actually the result of the joint efforts of more than a dozen senior actors. It is said that "Uncle" can play four movies in one movie, and I can play ten movies alone. But in fact, if there is no atmosphere and market to create together, where will the glory of "Uncle" come from?"

"But after all, your acting skills in "Uncle" are really heartbreaking." Liu Renna smiled slightly. "Many male actors in this year's crime films have expressed their conviction. I went to watch it myself, and then I can't forget your chilling pupils at the end of the movie. This charm and acting skills are always undeniable, right?"

"When it comes to acting," Kim Jong-ming turned his head and looked at the bored little dinosaur who was holding his chin in a daze. "Ji Yeon just asked me about acting skills, I was not perfunctory, but I really lacked the right to speak on this issue. Have you noticed that I have acted in so many movies and won the best actors a long time ago, but many actors were not convinced before "Uncle". But on the other hand, many directors, producers, and film company owners all respected me early. This is why I am a top Korean filmmaker before "Uncle", but I can't call it a top Korean actor. The former topic is too big to unfold, so I won't say much. But, if I simply talk about the latter..."

"Does the latter mean that it has been difficult for you to satisfy the sense of identity you gain in your actor status?" Liu Renna said the idea.

"That's right, even though I'm very satisfied with my performance in "Uncle", I still hope to use more awards and roles to interpret my identity as an actor!" Kim Jong-ming replied. "I want to play more roles, get more actors, and get everyone convinced... This is a fundamental thing, and I will not give in at all."

The people in the room had quieted down very early. The female artists felt that they were a little uncomfortable, because even the insensitive people noticed that Kim Jong-ming did not regard this interview as a funny thing about a variety show, but was accepting the interview seriously, and then exhaling a lot of things in his chest!

"When it comes to this topic," Liu Renna continued to maintain that tepid tone, which seemed light but had a very clear pronunciation. "Aren't you shooting a new movie? We all know that UBE is auditioning young actors at the UBE, so can you talk about your new work?"

"The new work is very important to me. It represents my most primitive and basic film concept." Kim Jong-ming became more and more serious. "But I don't want to talk about the specific content, nor do I want to hype it too early. I'll talk about everything when the movie is released next year!"

After saying that, Kim Jong-ming pressed the indicator light, Liu Renna quickly left the seat, and then took a deep breath, not knowing whether she was sighing or relaxing.

It was Naha's turn to go up and it was nonsense. She and Kim Jong-ming were old partners.

And here, as soon as Liu Renna sat down, she was stabbed by Li Zhen with her elbow: "Are you scared?"

"Yes." Liu Renna quickly pinched her Mai and replied in a low voice. "I'm so scared, what's wrong with this person today?"

"Who knows?" Li Zhen shrugged slightly. "Anyway, his status has reached, so just say whatever he wants."

"But those of us who are interviewing will suffer." Liu Renna said bitterly. "I was so nervous just now... By the way, is the editor-in-chief of the magazine over there very happy?"

"How could she be unhappy?" Li Zhen asked speechlessly. "Forget it, we are all over anyway, so that's it."

Yoo Inna nodded quickly and then let go of Mai. However, just a few seconds later, Park Ji-yeon, the little dinosaur sitting on the other side of her, began to stab her again.

"What's going on?" Liu Renna was shocked and quickly pinched Mai again.
To be continued...
