On the afternoon of December 20, there were rains in Seoul, South Korea. In a cafe on Chungwu Road, several neatly dressed people were drinking coffee.

By the way, this group of people is not simple. Almost every one can be called a big shot in Zhongwu Road, and is the kind of person who can truly shake the Korean film industry. Not to mention anything else, the waiter recognized Lee Byung-hun at a glance. However, even with Lee Byung-hun's status, he could only sit on the periphery of this big round table, and he was a little apologized to everyone else... However, after careful examination, the waiters were relieved, because they immediately recognized who the big back-headed man was sitting firmly in the middle - the great director Lee Cang-dong. With this person's qualifications, identity, and age, there are very few people in Korea who can not sit in the main seat.

However, as time passed, whether it was Lee Cangdong, Lee Byung-hun, or the remaining middle-aged and old men, they gradually felt anxious and irritable.

"Why haven't you come yet?" Choi Xikui, president of the Korean Film Screenwriters Association, could no longer hold back.

"Isn't it because I want to let us go again?" The person who responded to Choi Xikui was Han Zaiyi, the president of the Korean Film Technology Team Association. "That was the case before. Didn't we say that we would go back and consider giving us an answer immediately? The words were said well, but others ran away in just two days, and it took nearly two months to run... It made us so passive now!"

"Oh, it's understandable that Zhong Ming left that way." The person who spoke next to him was Li Jae-bin, who came on behalf of the Korean Filmmakers Association. "At least, his actions of avoiding the Qinglong Awards seemed generous, otherwise Zheng Zai-yong would be embarrassed. In fact, the Qinglong Award organizing committee was grateful to him. What's more, they are also doing business seriously in China. Needless to mention Bona's stock exchange ceremony, there are also people who have broken the record-breaking video of "Let the Bullets Fly"..."

"Director Lee, don't say such things." Cui Xikui was already a little angry. "We are not unreasonable people. Of course we can accept him giving up the Blue Dragon Award, and we accept it if we want to do business. But the Blue Dragon Award was at the end of November and on December 6, "Let the Bullets Fly" had its premiere. Where are others in the next half month? Aren't we deliberately avoiding us? We can't wait left and right and refuse to answer the phone. In the end, we were really helpless and started it in advance, otherwise we could make Zheng In-ye jump around until now?!"

Li Zaibin immediately looked up at the ceiling. I was here to make a fuss, and the genius answered this!

"After all," Zheng Jin-chung, chairman of the Korean Film Revitalization Committee, finally spoke. "We are still not strong enough. The nine associations work together, but they still let Zheng In-ye, the cunning guy, survive until now..."

"What nine associations?" Han Zaiyi sneered. "It is said that the nine associations defeat him Zheng Renye. In fact, only the directors association leads our screenwriter association and technical association to help you... the rest are waiting for the real person to speak!"

While speaking, Han Zaiyi looked at Lee Byung-hun without hesitation, but the new president of the Korean Actors Association, the actor Lee Da, was quite conscious of spitting on his face. He laughed dryly, then Yiran picked up the coffee, and turned his head out the window... Anyway, I won't take this.

"Well, it's understandable that Senior An Shengji is unwilling to intervene." Zheng Jin-joo also had a headache when he looked at Lee Byung-ho, who was not in trouble. Of course, he knew who Lee Byung-ho was following his will and did not work hard in the past half month. By the way, the major Korean film associations were going to join forces to defeat Jung In-ye, the president of the Korean Film Association, but the actors watched the fire from the other side of the river. This was simply a joke! In fact, it was the nine associations that gave Jung In-ye the confidence to counterattack, which made the old man bit him Jung In-ye tightly.

"Yes." Hearing Han Jin-zhou's words on An Shengji, Cui Xikui also hurried out to smooth things over. "Senior An Shengji is preparing for a movie, so there is no need to disturb us..."

"Okay!" Li Cangdong, who had been sitting in the upper position with a expressionless face, suddenly spoke at this time. "Don't say this nonsense. Zhong Ming is not a person who is not particular. Since he agreed to come to see us, he will not come. It is probably because the heavy rain just now interrupted his itinerary, so don't call and urge him, just wait. Besides, the reality of the past half a month has already told us clearly that it still needs others to do their best to drive Zheng Renye down. Since you have to rely on others, why bother to gossip behind your back?"

Lee Cangdong was the Minister of Culture in 2003, and was awarded the French Knight Medal in 2006. Now, "Poetry" has been a special killer internationally. In addition, this is actually the successor of the Directors Association who was appointed by Lin Quanze... So, under the influence of his power, no matter who it was, he shut his mouth honestly when he heard him speak, and even Lee Byung-hun didn't look out the window.

In this way, as the clock on the wall walked slowly, nearly twenty minutes had passed since the time Jin Zhongming and he made an appointment with him, that is, at 3:00 pm, and Li Cangdong's thoughts began to turn around.

I remember that as a rookie with no experience in governing, I was elected as the Minister of Culture by the cultural community. At the beginning, I was very confident and prepared to do something with the support of the cultural community. However, firstly, I did not have any experience in governing, and secondly, the official did this just to win over the Korean cultural community and had no intention of using it. All the affairs of all were taken care of by several secondary officials (vice ministers)... In the end, I stepped down in shame after only 16 months.

However, the 16-month experience in South Korea's top officialdom was not in vain. Although it did not expand its horizons, since then, Li Cangdong found that he had indeed had a layer of insight into the observation of people's hearts and the perspective of things. Some of the things behind them were not thought of when he was a writer and director before. But now, those things seem to be clearly placed on people, and he can see them clearly at a glance.

Let’s take the situation in front of him as an example. Zheng Jinzhou seemed to want to leave a way out for himself after the election, so he took the position of president of the General Association. Then he used his position to take out public funds from the Film Revitalization Committee to buy the nine major associations for profit.

And what about that Zheng Inye? He was indeed a little too greedy before. In addition, that guy worked for too long and gradually became a climate. He really regarded the nine major associations as subordinates. What's even more terrifying is that this guy is still in love with him when he is about to retire. In this case, Korean filmmakers generally hate him, and Zheng Inye's overall environment has actually been formed. Therefore, the two presidents in front of him and the people from the director association behind him will stand firm, and even blame Kim Jong-ming for not talking about the overall situation.

However, aside from the pressure put on himself by the poor film directors and art film directors in the Directors Association, Lee Cang-dong couldn't help but think about another question, that is, how does Kim Jong-ming, who has become a climate, feel about the dispute between the two Zheng?

Does he really hate Zheng Renye, who is in his twenties, who is more than Zheng Jinzhou in his 60s and more than Zheng Jinzhou in his fifties? Age is a good thing to speculate on people's hearts.

While he was thinking, a commotion suddenly sounded at the entrance of the cafe. Li Cangdong opened his eyes and saw that it was indeed Kim Jong-ming who came, but the other party seemed to be a little miserable...

"Don't move!" Jin Zhongming slapped Baker hard on the forehead. "I told you not to move. They are here to wipe you clean, but you are covered in water!"

Baker, with a monkey-faced face, whined, and then took a step back a little aggrievedly. He was soaked in the rain that he couldn't help but shake his body... This is nature, so everyone said that nature cannot be taken away!

However, facing the owner's tyranny, Baker finally honestly handed over his nature, and then squatted down and let the waiter come to help him wipe the water off his body.

"Thank you all!" Jin Zhongming smiled and thanked the waiters who came to help. "It's still changing hair, so let it squat at the door. If there is something to call me, I'll deal with it... Uh, by the way, help me with a cup of hot latte with milk."

After saying that, Kim Jong-ming put down the glorious poop bag, then walked to the only big table with a wet basketball.

"Sir, I'm sorry." Kim Jong-ming threw the basketball under the table. "I'm late, I'm rude, I'm sorry, seniors."

As he said that, the guy twisted the hat of his sports jacket that he had just taken off, and saw the raucous rain squeeze out...

Now, no matter how angry the person is, he can't speak.

"So... Zhong Ming, did you walk your dog or play basketball before?" Looking back at the suits and ties of a group of people here, Li Cangdong also felt that the style was a bit wrong, but he couldn't speak. He was in his twenties, so what was the way to walk his dog? What was the way to play basketball? You guys are all unpromising, and you are only at this age?

"I'm really sorry for you this time." Jin Zhongming sat down. "Baker is changing hair and needs to run out every day. It just so happened that Sika took it for so long, so I handed over this job to me as soon as I came back. It was like this at noon today. Seeing that it was still early, I asked a few neighbors to play basketball at the basketball court in Shili. I was thinking of going along the way. At that time, I led the dog over to walk the dog. I didn't expect it..."

Then Kim Jong-ming didn't continue to say it, but looked up at the rain line outside the window.

"It's understandable." Han Zaiyi, who had been angry before, nodded with emotion at this time. "Although the sky was gloomy at noon, there was no sign of rain at all... I still have to come over if I get wet like this, thank you for your hard work!"

"Yes." Lee Byung-hun also became active. "The shower was really too urgent just now, no one would blame you for this."

"Your repeated apology makes us too rude." Zheng Jinzhou, who had been frowning just now, also smiled.

Li Zaibin, Cui Xikui and others nodded and agreed.

"In fact, what's even more rare is that Zhong Ming did not call a taxi, but insisted on coming over in the rain." Li Cangdong looked at the big white dog squatting at the door, and then spoke. "Although the taxi in Seoul is allowed to carry pets, the dog is changing its hair. If it really comes by a car, it will be difficult to clean up the car. This unknown choice is purely based on personal cultivation!"

Everyone was stunned, but when they thought about it carefully, it was indeed the case. It was raining and the sky was so dark. Jin Zhongming was wearing a hood, and then he carried a dog and a basketball. If he had just gotten into the taxi without saying a word, he would have come. I guess no one knew. But he could just walk over with the dog and the rain alone... This decision similar to that in the dark room could indeed reflect a person's true level.

But for some reason, with Li Cangdong's casual praise, the adults on the table became subtle and their eyes looked at Jin Zhongming more cautiously.

"Ha!" After looking at the people on the table, Kim Jong-ming chuckled. "It's just a small matter, it's not a question of cultivation. Director Li praised me. You don't dislike me. I'm grateful for it... Let's do this, it's raining, and we have something to talk about?"

The table was quieter, Lee Cangdong smiled but didn't say anything, Han Zaiyi and Cui Xikui started to pretend to be dead, and they were not fools. Although killing Zheng Inye was serious for them, Zheng Jin-zhou people were here, so they didn't have to speak anyway. It was one thing in front of Zheng Jin-zhou, and it was naturally another thing in front of Kim Jong-ming, who had unknown intentions.

As for Li Jae-bin and Lee Byung-hun, the two of them simply looked at Zheng Jin-zhou, as if they were trying to urge him with their eyes.

"It's like this." Zheng Jin-chong looked at Kim Jong-ming. He knew that he could not escape this, but he simply had the environment to overthrow Jung In-ye. In addition, Ms. Park supported her and forced her to force her at this time. "About what she said at the last big bell award dinner... you said you had to think about it, but after that, a series of situations came out and you never received your reply. We really couldn't wait, so the nine associations started first... What do you mean now?"

"Since you all have started..." Jin Zhongming took the hot coffee delivered by the waiter. He couldn't stand it so cold that he couldn't help but take a sip. "Then why ask me again? Haven't the major associations unified their opinions?"

Li Zaibin couldn't help but lower his head and smiled. The group of businessmen in the Producers Association actually didn't care about this matter at all. The Directors Association could not afford to offend everyone, so they naturally had to stand up and express their opinions. But on the other hand, Kim Jong-ming's ambiguous attitude also made everyone speak out but not work hard, because no one wanted to offend Kim Jong-ming, the business partner because of such irrelevant things.

"The problem now is..." Li Cangdong suddenly spoke. He was a little impatient with this matter. If it weren't for the Directors Association's position here, he would have gone home to watch the rain and stared blankly. "Either the Directors Association, the Film Revitalization Committee, or the major associations, everyone has not been able to catch it. And Zheng Renye is obviously about to retire, but he has to fall in love with him, which makes everyone tear up in the end... Since that's the case, Zhong Ming, you are back again, we hope you can shoulder the responsibilities within the Actors Association and the Producers Association..."

Li Cangdong's sudden statement caught everyone off guard. After all, in this "Two Zheng Controversy", which editorial association and technical team association are all good at making a fuss. The real power is nothing more than Zheng Jinzhou himself and the Directors Association. Especially the Directors Association, not to mention that the director is the general manager of a movie, all filmmakers naturally have to succumb to them. More importantly, there are influential bigwigs like Li Cangdong and Lin Quanze in society. They can cause trouble if they speak out alone, let alone the current superposition state?

"Ah..." Kim Jong-ming responded expressionlessly. "I have received exactly what Director Lee and the Directors Association mean."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Kim Jong-ming's long-term ambiguous attitude is certainly a restraint, but also a burden? After all, Zheng In-ye has indeed blocked the path of most people, but there is no better replacement or leader to make him active until now. Now Zheng Jin-zhou is willing to stand up and concessions to the actual interests of major associations, which is actually in line with everyone's wishes.

Even Li Zaibin, who is sitting here, even though he has no idea, is willing to show his attitude and strength to sell it to most people.

From this principle, it seems that Kim Jong-ming's return to the mainstream has been destined, and Zheng Jin-zhou dared to pull these people to force the palace this time.

"To be honest." Kim Jong-ming looked around and understood everyone's thoughts. "From the beginning, I knew this... Zheng In-ye was a little too much. It was a general trend that he left well for everyone...

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"But... the reason why I have been reluctant to express my opinion for a long time is actually a bit selfish." Kim Jong-ming suddenly changed his mind, and then reached out to pat Zheng Jin-zhou on the shoulder. "To be honest, I have been in the circle very quickly in the past few years, and most of the time I have been helping my colleagues. Therefore, I always feel very sensitive to some things... Everyone says that Lao Zheng is doing the revitalization committee alone and doing the affairs of the General Association. Isn't the power too great? At that time, there is such a strong person above his head, which is always unhappy, right? The young man is wild and a little selfish... makes everyone laugh."

"This cannot be said to be a problem," Lee Byung-hun echoed with his chin. "If President Zheng really grasps the official power of the Revitalization Committee and the organizational power of the General Assembly with the other... Some things will be hard to say. Of course... I can't believe President Zheng, but he is more free and easy as an actor, and he always feels confused when he sees such things..."

"Binghun and Zhong Ming are thinking too much." Cui Xikui chuckled from the side. "The president of the General Assembly has always had no term limit, but the president of the Revitalization Committee accepts his fate. He will be elected in 12 years. Once the emperor is in a state of justice, he will let go as soon as he captures the power of the General Assembly... Some things seem natural, but in fact they are not like this!"

"Yes." Han Zaiyi also smiled. "From this perspective, President Zheng has been working with everyone very well in recent years... He has retired for 12 years and stayed at the Association to make use of his remaining energy. It is also something everyone is happy to see..."

"Is that true?" Jin Zhongming looked at Zheng Jinzhou, who was in a daze but did not say a word, and actually nodded. "That might be because I thought too much...but..."

"But what?" Li Zaibin noticed a little smell, but he hadn't figured it out yet.

"But... I still want to hear the opinions of director Lee Cangdong." Kim Jong-ming looked at Lee Cangdong. "My meaning is actually very clear. But even so, I still respect the decisions of the directors more... If the Directors Association has made up its mind, I am willing to change my feelings for the directors."

This is to ask for favors from the Directors Association, and it is to ask the Directors Association to endorse everyone Korean filmmakers for this action.

Lee Cangdong hesitated for a moment. For a moment, he felt that Kim Jong-ming was a bit too much, but a trace of doubt was also surrounded by his heart. That is, he really didn't understand why Kim Jong-ming was so concerned about Jung Jin-chong... But it didn't matter. When he came to himself, no matter what, Jung In-ye could no longer stop, otherwise the Directors Association would become a joke. Moreover, the young directors who were filming the movie wanted to find any Korean won from the cracks in the wall. Even if Jung Jin-chong was ambitious, then in the face of the grant he gave, the big men of the Directors Association were actually in trouble!

"Zhong Ming!" Li Cangdong sat up straight seriously. "The members of the Directors Association have carefully studied this matter. Zheng Renye must leave. President Zheng Jinzhou is a good candidate for the general association."

"That's good." Kim Jong-ming nodded. "Although I don't agree with the Directors Association, I will support the Directors Association's decision."

Speaking of this, things have really settled down, and everyone has really breathed a sigh of relief.

"After finally I've forgotten a thing of my worries!" Han Zaiyi exhaled a long sigh. "Since that... I hope Zhong Ming, you can help as soon as possible. That old guy Zheng Renye is too bad!"

"What President Han said is." Kim Jong-ming nodded seriously. "I will do it as soon as possible."

"That's good." Li Cangdong clapped his hands. "Let's go and leave!"

The crowd responded and sat there for an afternoon, and it was indeed time to part.

"Stay for a moment." Jin Zhongming remained motionless.

"Is there anything else in Zhong Ming?" Zheng Jinzhou felt a sudden heart and almost instinctively felt something was wrong.

"I mean, since everyone wants me to express my opinion as soon as possible, I have been hiding for so long, so it's better to choose a day than to hit the day." Kim Jong-ming looked at Zheng Jin-zhou who stood up with his head tilted. "I have already made President Zheng In-ye come over, and the time is set at 4 pm. I will let him get out today! How? In this way, Lao Zheng, you can be a double-departed president tomorrow!"

Most people's minds seemed to be in a paste and didn't understand what was going on for a while. However, Li Cangdong was thinking a lot and figured out everything in an instant - Jin Zhongming had already predicted this ending before he came. He had a backup plan and today's affairs were not over yet!

Tens of minutes later, Zheng In-ye arrived as scheduled, and as soon as he came in, he was frightened by the situation in front of him. But what surprised him even more was the first sentence Kim Jong-ming said: "President Zheng, the organization has already decided to resign from the position of president of the Korean Film Association and go home and take the child with peace of mind! Do you... do you want to recite a few poems to express your thoughts at this moment?"
Chapter completed!
