ps: Sometimes, I still think I can save it.

Also, the previous chapter was an additional update for Princess Crystal, and this chapter returns to the main topic. But it doesn’t matter, the scenes are on.

——————————————————

The lights are on, and the weather is cold.

Gwangju looks very far from Seoul, but in fact, South Korea is only a thousand miles away, and it is only a three or four-hour drive to take the train. Both places are south of the Dabai Little Bai Mountains, and the general climate is only affected by the Yellow Sea.

Therefore, if the weather in Seoul is like this, the weather in Gwangju should be like this.

Of course, the name of Gwangju is aliased by the writer Kong Zhiyong as a fogjin. After all, compared with Seoul, this place lacks the regulation effect of the Han River, and is more surrounded by mountains and seas. Therefore, if there is insufficient sunlight all day long, fog will be almost a common thing.

The same is true this evening.

However, in addition to climate, there are actually many similar places in the two places at this moment. For example, since the set is set up in the school, Kim Jong-ming actually enjoys the benefits of centralized heating like Krystal. Moreover, since this is a school and all the heating is paid by the state, the power plants in the distance are working harder. In short, they have to send a steady stream of heating here. Anyway, the more they are sent, the more subsidies the country gives. However, this makes people feel bitter and want to relax with a glass of wine here, because the entire school building complex is filled with a kind of heat that makes people feel dry and dry. There are even people with seats facing the radiator for a while and it feels like they have been roasted into jerky meat.

So, shortly after putting the food in a large classroom that was opened, everyone in the crew, including several elderly people, could not hold on. In the end, everyone moved the food to a temporary studio built in the school courtyard. They would rather blow the cold wind outside than enjoy the free heating.

Of course, although there is a little wind outside, the surrounding temporary buildings have the effect of blocking wind, and the effect of alcohol is not really cold. Moreover, the lights in the city of Gwangju are shining with the fog that has been pouring out routinely in the evening recently, and they are vague and colorful, with a unique flavor.

"Talk about it, Chung Ming, you actually want to perform martial arts after this movie, and you worked with director Tsui Hark... This is really..." Director Huang Dong-hyuk shook his head with a sigh. "Before I went to the United States to study movies, it was when Hong Kong martial arts movies were rampant in East Asia. At that time, director Tsui Hark was a big shot among martial arts directors."

"When I was in college, I remember when I was in college, it was when Jin Yong and Gu Long swept East Asia together. My favorite was the newly released "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which I watched in class every day." The person who followed Zhang Guang, who was also the leading man in the movie's two twin principals, and the actor of the academic director. This old actor, born in 1952, was just an ordinary film staff at the beginning. Later, he naturally started playing supporting roles on the set. Later in 2002, when he was in his fifties, he started to play supporting roles. Theoretically, this movie was his first challenge to the protagonist.

"That's all." Zhang Enhe also sighed with his unshaven chin. "Don't talk about you, it's okay for people of my age to read Chinese books, so I've also been obsessed with martial arts novels, but when people of director Huang Donghe are old, they may not be able to read Shun's novels."

"Yes." Huang Donghe nodded convincingly. "When I was in college, I could only rent a CD with Korean subtitles to watch martial arts movies, because I couldn't read Korean novels at all... and Chinese novels were really hard."

"It's time to be re-Sinicized." Zhang Enhe sneered. "I don't understand. Before, the military government always used to both Chinese and Korean. Why did you have to go to Chinese when it comes to the election?"

"It's because of the election that I go to Chinese." Yan Xiaoxie, who plays the role of the policeman who accepts bribes, also sneered. He was born in 1966. For him, the changes in that era were the clearest experience of his personal experience. "Nationalism and other things are the easiest to attract votes."

"Election and politics!" Even the old girl and the old senior Kim Ji-young sighed a little.

"Okay!" Kim Jong-ming, who had not spoken, suddenly raised his glass and smiled. "Let's stop talking about martial arts. Now Mr. Jin Yong is collecting copyrights everywhere. Mr. Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu" called for once that Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu had to pay 10,000 Hong Kong dollars. If we continue to say this, this small-cost movie will be completely compensated. Otherwise... in another way?!"

Of course, the actors knew what Kim Jong-ming meant, so they made a joke together, and then the table immediately started to drink. But after all, it was the Korean table after a day of work. As long as they had something in their minds, changing topics would be useless. However, the banquet had just started at this time, and everyone was willing to listen to his jokes. After a few glasses of wine, the Korean restaurant slid towards an uncontrollable level as usual, and the topics they were talking about naturally slowly returned to the previous track.

"When filming today, the group of believers from the Spirit Society came to the door to sing poems again." After Yan Xiaoxie took a few glasses of wine, he finally began to complain uncontrollably. There was no way, people who were talking about him when they were middle-aged. "I have never hated these Catholic believers as much as these days."

"Hey... don't expand this." Zhang Guang, as the two oldest people here, almost instinctively played the role of persuasionists. "The Aspiration Club is the Aspiration Club, Catholicism is the Catholic Church, and one-tenth of the people in Korea are Catholics. Are they all bad people? Even the people who come to sing poems at the door are just inspired by the people behind them."

"But the problem is... they did affect us filming." Huang Donghe, as the director, was the only one who was qualified to draw this conclusion at this time.

"Yes, when they came a few days ago, I was very angry and wanted to make a better shot so that I could prove it to these people in the future, but I didn't expect it to be...one came every day, which made the people on the set up up, and the other was...the only annoying guys were more than them." Some actors were helpless and followed the topic.

"In-su..." Kim Jong-ming suddenly called out the only young actor who was still there on the table next door.

"Yes, oppa, what's wrong?" Zheng Renxu responded while chewing something.

"I'll give you a task." Kim Jong-ming picked up a plate of some meat from the table. "Help me feed Baker... It should have been taken to play by Hyun Soo and Seung-hwan."

"Don't worry, leave it to me!" Although it was the most greedy of the three children, Kim Jong-ming gave instructions, and Zheng Renxu took the plate without saying a word and went to find Baker and his two friends.

"...I'm wrong." Yan Xiaoxie smashed his mouth. "You shouldn't mention these things in front of the child."

"The child is gone, too." Kim Jong-ming replied disrespectfully. "It's rare for everyone to have a drink together. Just say whatever you want! What's more, you have really been wronged these days. Not to mention that there are choirs coming to disturb us every day, and the application for closure of the street outside has not been approved, right?"

"More than that, the principal of this Renaissance school came here yesterday!" Huang Donghe sneered. "I said I wanted to see if there were any illegal constructions."

"I really don't know this." Kim Jong-ming gave himself half a glass of soju. "How did you deal with it?"

"I didn't let him in!" Huang Donghe continued to sneer. "Several friends from the Light Human Rights Commission blocked him directly at the door!"

"It seems that everyone is still in emotions?" Jin Zhongming asked slowly.

"How could it be that there was no emotion?" The old senior Kim Ji-young couldn't help it. "I don't understand. If we did not match the facts, please come and explain it clearly? Is it shameless to always use this method? Even if the group of singers at the door asked them where the filming was wrong... they even kept silent, 'There would not be such a sin under the eyes of the Lord's eyes... What is this reason? Who can't be angry if you hear such words?!"

"Actually, it's my fault." Kim Jong-ming explained embarrassingly after drinking a glass of soju. "I made two major mistakes in a row. First, I shouldn't have opened the previously closed set..."

"It's not your fault." Huang Donghe shook his head. "As a director, I also have the responsibility. In the closed shooting environment, I concentrated on shooting scenes of that kind of plot... Everyone was under a lot of pressure, including me, and they had bad psychological reactions, but things could only squeeze on you. In this case, it was understandable that you chose to open the set. In fact, in the two days before the opening of the set, didn't everyone's mood relieve a lot?"

Now, even Liu Renna, who had always been cautious in her words and actions, nodded.

"It's not like that." Kim Jong-ming also shook his head. "What I am talking about is not the matter of being open for no reason, but the fact that I have a little bit of the intention to use people's hearts in this matter, that is, the unbearable intention of using the kindness of everyone here."

Speaking of this, Jin Zhongming lowered his head and sighed. Qian Changming, who was listening carefully on the table next door, didn't know what was going on, but he also lowered his head.

"Let me say that, I foresee some of the current difficulties at that time." During the silence, Jin Zhongming calmed down and continued. "I want to show the faces of these people appropriately, so that everyone can feel rebellious, and then devote themselves to work more seriously and responsible. I didn't expect to... I took off my job."

"This is not a good use." Zhang Guang shook his head. "We accepted the invitation from Director Huang Donghe half a year ago and learned about this matter in detail. Moreover, everyone is an adult, and their values ​​have long been stable. What is good and what is bad, what is right and what is wrong, what should be done and what should not be done? Do you still need to teach these? After all, everyone really disgusted and disgusted these people from the bottom of their hearts."

Almost everyone nodded. The movie has been filmed so far. To be honest, those who have wrong views or are afraid of things will not accept this movie at the beginning. They have left long ago in the past few days when they can't stand it. And there are really a few supporting actors who haven't had time to appear and choose to leave and give up after seeing the situation here. At least those who can stay are consistent in moral concepts.

"So... if you say less, this matter is just a bold arrangement. After all, you are a producer. If you say more, it can be called a kind lie at most. How can you use the word "use"?" Zhang Guang continued to say that he concluded Jin Zhongming's "wrong".

"I feel much better if you say this." Kim Jong-ming stood up and toasted the other party with a glass of wine, sat down and filled himself with another glass. "But even so, the next mistake was purely something I asked for. As the saying goes, too much is too little, I overestimated the bottom line of this group of people... I want to think back and think about it, no matter what, I shouldn't give the script to the director, because it is tantamount to showing weakness to the entire Gwangju! The reason why I can make this movie happen is that I have shown a resolute attitude since I took over the novel. Now, once I relax, some people think too much."

Everyone fell silent. After a long time, Yan Xiaoxie, the middle-aged uncle, spoke: "Who could have thought that they were so unlucky?"

"yes."

"That's right."

Many people laughed dryly and started to agree.

"I can think of it." Kim Jong-ming shook his head. "And I should actually think of these things."

The studio became quiet again.

"Why do we come to the choir every day at the door?" Kim Jong-ming sneered and shook his head. "Because if this movie really caused a huge response, at least that In-ho School cannot be run, right? Right? If even this purpose cannot be achieved, then there is no need for us to shoot this movie. But in fact, the In-ho School has been operating until now, and every year it is still enjoying a lot of subsidies from the government... They are doing charity and do not charge families of deaf and mute children, but... the state and Gwangju Municipal Government will give them more things in accordance with the law, and even the school owners will receive more in other fields.

More tax reductions and other discounts are also the real reason why the small consortium has always been holding the school out of shame and is also the real reason why many people are willing to do charity. Everyone must understand that in South Korea... and even the whole world, doing charity is profitable. And when it comes to Lingguanghui, they not only have never given up on the status of Lieutenant Colonel Renhe as a school director, but also have no less than ten other charity education institutions in various places in Gwangju. These seem to be charity, but in fact they are real money. How could they give up?”

"Gwangju... is the education capital of South Korea!" I don't know who sighed softly. "Education subsidies are the best in the country."

"So... I just thought that the choir had arrived anyway, so it doesn't matter if I gave a script or something. Anyway, they always came to make trouble, just say it's for everyone to be excited." Jin Zhongming explained somewhat excitedly. "But who would have thought that it's not just a bright future! Municipal Government, Public Security Department, Education Department, Welfare Department... Those who saw the preset plots in our script came to make trouble. The municipal government did not give me a street approval document. The police station patrolled around the set three times a day. The education department always reminded us not to have children naked /// exposed scenes appear, and the welfare department also wanted to check if we had bought insurance for you..."

A malicious laughter immediately sounded, which made the stiff atmosphere liven up.

"Actually, the Fire Department has issued a notice," Zhang Enhe said with a smile. "They are coming to check fire hazards on the first day of the Lunar New Year and let us keep people..."

"Actually!" Director Huang Donghe also laughed. "I'll tell you something. Yesterday, the reason why I encouraged those friends from the Human Rights Commission to stop the principal was really not that he was unreasonable... It was a joke for everyone. Our bathroom renovation project was applied for a week in advance, but it was only today. In order not to delay tomorrow's scenes, we actually started construction secretly... In other words, when the principal came yesterday, we were really renovating his school in violation of regulations. I was not angry, but guilty!"

There was another burst of angrily and laughing around.

"Okay." Kim Jong-ming suddenly put away his smile and stood up, then slapped around him. "Actually, today I suggest everyone get together on the set, because of these things... First of all, I still have to apologize to you. There is no need to say about the mistakes I made. I have to take responsibility for this responsibility... I apologize to you."

As he said that, Kim Jong-ming suddenly bowed to the three surrounding directions in a formal manner. Everyone could not react in time and did not know how to react. He actually accepted his bow in a silent and slightly panic state.

"Secondly, the second thing." Kim Jong-ming stood up and continued to say seriously. "Let the past be put aside for the time being, we must find ways to overcome the difficulties! So, now we must cheer up and discuss how to deal with this situation that is hostile to half of the city."

Now, the sound that had just appeared around him disappeared without a trace. There was no way. Some things needed to be carried by a wide shoulder, and they were powerless from the basic things.

"Actually... I thought about it carefully. There are only two real problems we have encountered at the moment." Kim Jong-ming said with certainty. "First of all, one is a large number of complex harassment. From the government to the church to some local energy individuals, these people are in a mess, causing us trouble, intentionally or unintentionally. Their behaviors have quickly exceeded the scope of mental harassment in just one week. As Director Huang Dong-hyuk said just now, these destructive things have really affected normal shooting activities. Secondly, the question is actually to say that

One of the more prominent ones among these harassing activities is the issue of nude scenes of children raised by the Gwangju Municipal Education Department... I know it seems ridiculous to say this. After all, they were the ones who played the ball when they were attacked ten years ago when they were attacked by deaf and mute children, but we cannot ignore it because this is an extremely serious issue... And the real reason for driving away the three children just now is that I hope everyone will discuss this matter without any scruples. That's it... How about it, do you have any ideas? If you have any, please speak freely."

"Actually... the easiest way." Someone may have had plans, so he spoke immediately. "We can change cities to shoot... In that case, everything will be simple, and there will be no harassment or difficulties. We can shoot whatever we want! Why bother here to get angry?"

"A very practical method." Jin Zhongming nodded expressionlessly.

Now, everyone in the studio whispered to each other. I have to admit that this method is indeed completely complete and simple and effective.

but……

"But that's the case, isn't it equivalent to bowing to those people?" A young man in the crew could not bear it anymore, and naturally attracted the support of a group of people. Most of them were young, and they got very close to the people from the Gwangju Human Rights Council during the filming of the previous month. "We insisted on it for a month. We survived the filming so hard before, but now they will leave as soon as they pressed us. Then, if there are still people going back to Seoul in the future, would we still have to continue? This kind of thing cannot be compromised, and they will make it a step further!"

"It makes sense." Jin Zhongming nodded expressionlessly again. "In short, the school gate has been locked. As for surveillance and other things, it doesn't make any sense to us professionals. Let's go and say it!"

Now, there were many debates and discussions, and more people wanted to leave, but they were not tough enough, and fewer people insisted on keeping them, but they couldn't resist their voices, so they couldn't stand it for a while.

"I think it's better to analyze professional issues from a professional perspective first!" Huang Donghe, as a director, always has the prestige of the second-in-command. He said it a lot and quieted the studio a lot. "This problem is too big. Let's talk about it first and discuss the requirements of the Guangzhou Education Department. To be honest, although the words of the Education Department seem ridiculous, as Zhong Ming said, this is a very serious thing, so I think... whether it is to change the venue or not, this issue must be very cautious."

"Yes." Kim Ji-young's brows frowned. "But the movie has been prepared for a long time, so there should be a rigorous preset for this issue long ago, right?"

"This is natural." Huang Donghe quickly turned around and explained to the core senior of the crew who had a background in a human rights organization. "We had invited many special legal experts and child mental health experts to review the plot before the audition of the young actors, and even when the movie was just launched. In fact, for these crime scenes that occurred within the school, we drew professional storyboards very early in advance for each shot, and then invited professionals to check... I don't even hide it from everyone. Now the crew has arranged for psychologists to observe the three children's mental state at any time."

"Then why do we need to discuss it?" Kim Ji-young's brows frowned even more.

"Because the children's parents are affected by some bad rumors," Kim Jong-ming explained calmly. "Especially the parents of the two little girls... they should feel some pressure from those people. In this case, even if the crew has a contract, the matter itself has a clear conscience, but it is always difficult to exert its hands and feet when it is actually operated. More importantly, our movie is of a special nature, and we need to be very cautious in this kind of thing. Even if there is no problem at all, we must prevent those people from spreading rumors."

"So... after the parents of the two children came to me this morning, I discussed this issue with Zhong Ming." Huang Donghe continued. "I mean... don't get entangled in this kind of problem anymore. It's better to take a step back. After all, this issue is too sensitive. If there is a little mistake, I can't save us."

"Yes, and it's not impossible." An auxiliary screenwriter put down his glasses. "Change some things that were originally intended to be told in the camera to describe in words. These can be easily inserted in the trial scene and in the media interview scene."

"And from what you meant, Seung-hwan said, there shouldn't be much concern. After all, he is a boy... I can add his role. The child has a cheerful and precocious personality and will definitely not object."

"That's right."

"It's good."

"After all, the real essence of this movie lies in revealing the faces of the powerful in the later trial. Although the plot setting in the previous part is necessary, it cannot be adjusted."

Everyone was talking about it, but most of them tended to make appropriate adjustments. Kim Jong-ming and Wong Dong-hyuk looked at each other. This situation was actually as expected when they discussed it at noon. After all, this topic was too sensitive and no one dared to make a guarantee; secondly, don't forget where the pressure came from at the beginning, wasn't it just overwhelmed by the concentrated shooting of these shots? In this case, it is actually not difficult to guess the tendency of people's hearts.

"That's it." Kim Jong-ming made the final decision. "Thank you all in the screenwriter team to correct the plot overnight, and then send it to me no matter how late it is. And... no matter what, before the New Year, we must finish filming the scene of the infringement in Seung-hwan's bathroom... we can't delay it anymore."

"Don't worry!" the actor who played the beast teacher raised his hand and replied. "I can see that everyone is actually in trouble. Now the situation is like this, so we can't delay it anymore. Tomorrow! Anyway, it's an indoor drama. If it's a few more times tomorrow, the scene will be completely solved, and you can leave a few more shots to prepare."

"That's all for the hard work of seniors." Jin Zhongming nodded.

"Is this issue finished discussing?" someone smiled hard. "No matter what... he still has to go back to the previous issue. How should we deal with so many bad things, or whether to leave or stay?"
To be continued...
