Chapter 16 "The Chaser"

"A ticket to the pursuer, thank you." The visitor expressed his meaning simply and clearly.

Just look at this man wearing a baseball cap with popular elements, a simple T-shirt on the upper body, a dark blue jeans and canvas shoes on the lower body, giving people a very clean and concise feeling.

"Please collect your tickets and wish you a happy movie viewing." The ticket seller said with a smile.

The man took the ticket and said nothing, turned around and walked in. It was Kim Jong-kwon who was in a quiet period.

After the Spring Festival, Kim Jong-kwon simply got together with So Ji-sup, so So Ji-sup was filming again, and Kim Jong-kwon started a boring life again. Kim Jong-kwon, who had been staying at home for more than a week, was really idle and moldy. Even patients with late-stage lazy cancer need to adjust their lives.

It happened to be released when "The Chaser", which was promoted for a long time, was released, so Kim Jong-kwon decided to come out to watch a movie to adjust his boring life and inquire about the "enemy situation".

Because "The Chaser" is also the debut feature film directed by Luo Hongzhen, it is not a high-cost movie. It relies on the adaptation of real events and the actors' acting skills to attract a lot of audiences.

Kim Jong-kwon found his seat with a ticket and prepared it. At this time, less than 5 minutes before the screening began. Kim Jong-kwon took a rough look and found that the attendance rate was very high and they were basically full.

After all, this movie is said to be adapted from the real case of the most cruel murderer in Korea, Liu Yongzhe, who caused a sensation in the entire Korean dynasty. With large-scale publicity and good cast, it has attracted the attention of many people. It is not surprising that there is such an attendance rate.

In this way, while Kim Jong Kwon was thinking about it, the screening began.

Since the movie started to be screened, Kim Jong-kwon has been focusing on watching the movies. The more I watch it, the more I feel scared. Originally, Kim Jong-kwon felt that the filming of "Movie Is a Movie" by him and So Ji-sup was very good, and he was very satisfied with his performance, and even a little satisfied.

However, after watching the emotional expression of Kim Yunshu and the murderer played by Ha Jung-woo, the eyes and body use deeply shocked him. If Kim Jong-kwon can increase the audience's sense of substitution and reality through real fighting during the filming of the movie, then Kim Yunshu and Ha Jung-woo's performances made the audience know that this is a movie and they are all fake, but they are still as if they were there, and their body and mind have always followed the characters in the movie, and they will feel sad, fear and even despair like them.

"This is the real performance, which can turn decay into magic and false into reality."

Kim Jong-kwon watched the murderer played by Ha Jung-woo picked up a hammer and smashed it on the woman's head. The audience outside the screen knew that it was just a shooting effect, but they were still immersed in it and exclaimed in surprise.

He felt as if he suddenly understood something and no longer treated actors as just a profession like before. Kim Jong-kwon suddenly had a new explanation for the term actor.

"One day I can do it too, let the audience laugh because of me and cry because of me. Maybe this is a real actor." Kim Jong-kwon looked at the audience who were completely immersed in the movie and stood up and walked out. This is a very good movie. The purpose has been achieved, and there is no need to continue watching it.

Walking out of the cinema door, the dazzling light made Kim Jong-kwon, who had just come out of the dark cinema, squint slightly. At this time, Kim Jong-kwon, who felt that he had found a way forward in life, was not as good as he imagined.

More worry about "Movie is Movie". These two movies have many similarities, such as under the guise of "reality", one is adapted from real events, and the other is real fight. Both are action dramas, which reveal the dark side of society.

Moreover, the current trend of "The Chaser" will inevitably affect the movies released after it. Compared with "The Chaser", "Movie Is a Movie" is obviously not as impactful and shocking as "The Chaser". This disadvantage makes Kim Jong-kwon, who has watched "The Chaser", feels very unconfident.

Until now, even if the movie will be released, Kim Jong Kwon feels very sad.

Although I never thought about how great the film could achieve, Kim Jong-kwon was still looking forward to it. After all, in his "inspiration", this is also a movie with some gains. But the current situation of the movie makes him very worried.

"Why..."

i'msosorrybutiloveyou

i'msosorrybutiloveyou are all lies I didn't understand now I understand I need you

i'msosorrybutiloveyou

i'msosorrybutiloveyou said hurtful words and I lost you unknowingly

Just as Kim Jong-kwon was feeling the mood, his cell phone rang.

"Yo Bu Bu Yu, director, why did you call me suddenly? Is there any good news?" Kim Jong-kwon saw that it was the director's phone number and quickly answered.

"Well, that's right, the great news. The theaters have already agreed to give 500 screens first, and then the movies will be released in real time. The distribution company has also been found, and they are willing to bear the promotional expenses. How about it, be happy." The director's excited voice came from the phone.

"Really? It's so great. Did Brother Ji Seok know?" Kim Jong-kwon waved his fist hard when he heard the good news, and the depression just now was wiped out.

"I understand. I'll notify Jisub before calling you."

"By the way, director, why did it suddenly go so smoothly? I have found so many people before, but it's useless. This time I'm so kind and have enough publicity for my face. The cost of publicity on the scale is not low." After being excited, Kim Jong-kwon felt something was wrong. He said so hard before, but suddenly his attitude changed so much that he couldn't help but wonder.

"...Well, it's nothing. It's just that some agreements have been reached. It's my personal business and it has nothing to do with you. Don't ask anymore." Hearing Kim Jong-kwon's question, the director lost his previous happiness. It was obvious that he had paid a considerable price for the smooth release of this movie.

"Is it really okay? Director, is there anything I can help with?" After the filming of the film, Kim Jong Kwon sincerely thanked the new director for his teaching. If it were another famous director, he would not have given him such a great opportunity, nor would he teach him carefully, so he was very grateful to the director.

"Don't worry, boy. If there is really anything, will I still call you here? If you can shoot well in the future, be obedient is my greatest help." The director's laughter and scolding came from the phone.

"Hey~ Director, am I that unbearable? Didn't the director praise me for being a good actor before?" Kim Jong Kwon began to 'disobedient' again.

"You boy, it seems that the training is not ruthless enough. Just pray that you don't fall into my hands, otherwise, hum."

"Ah, director, when will the movie be released? It's almost half a year since the movie was finished, and my hair is white." Kim Jong-kwon quickly changed the subject as he listened to the director's bad tone.

"Hmph, do you think I'm not in a hurry? How much effort did I put into the movie and how many people I beg for? You really stood up and didn't hurt your back, why don't you come!" The director scolded him in anger.

"Yes, yes, you have worked hard on your director, you are so great. So, when is the specific time of release? I really can't wait." Kim Jong Kwon casually praised the director.

He really couldn't wait anymore, and he invested all his wealth. If he failed to release, he could go to drink the northwest wind. And he was still waiting for the movie to accumulate fame after it was released. Now he is nothing, and he can't even get on TV shows, and no one knows him. If this continues, it will be farther and farther from his desire to be a big star.

"What is set to be released on March 28th on Friday. By then, "The Chaser" is almost over. Actually, I don't want to be released during this period. Now it seems that "The Chaser" will have some impact on us. After all, these two movies have many similar promotional points. By the way, have you watched "The Chaser"? Now many media and film critics have unanimously praised it. Although the box office statistics have not yet been released, the rumored survey results will definitely be a big hit."

"...I just finished watching it, it was really good. The plot was very suspenseful and nervous. The actor's acting skills were also unspeakable. Coupled with the gimmick of "The real case adaptation of the murderer Liu Yongzhe," it would probably be a big hit in both box office and reputation." Kim Jong-kwon also sighed.

"Well, we are actually not bad compared to them. Now Director Luo Hongjin has achieved success, and we are the next one. I believe our movie will do something." The director didn't know whether to cheer Kim Jong-kwon or himself, but in short, it was very impressive.

"Yeah, that's right, we will succeed, sure!" Kim Jong-kwon also threw away the uneasiness in his heart and said firmly.

"From tomorrow, the movie promotion plan will start. There will be some activities. You need to attend the press conference. You must be prepared. If you have any resources to promote it, use it quickly. The more the better. Let's see this goal now." After that, he hung up the phone.

Kim Jong Kwon looked at the phone that had been hung up speechlessly. "Your sister, would I be so miserable if I had publicity resources? I haven't been on TV for a long time. The most recent time was because of the 'beating' So Ji-sup... "

When he got home, Kim Jong-kwon lay on the bed, flipping through his "thin" phone book, and was worried. He understood the director's meaning. It was impossible for the press conference to be several times, and the influence was not enough. So Ji-seok was a big name and it was easy to be on the show, but this brother didn't agree at all.

Even though the director and Kim Jong Kwon talked a word, So Ji-seok didn't agree. This guy was so introverted that he was too embarrassed to let him go on variety shows to promote it. So the matter was left unresolved.

"What should I do? Find Ji In Nuna? No, no, Nuna has just finished the operation, and Nuna is in a bad situation now. Girls' Generation? Forget it. I still need others to take care of them, so how can I help others?" Kim Jong-kwon's hair was almost pulled off.

"Oh, it would be great if Brother Ji Sei agreed to appear on the show. Senior Yoo Jae-suk agreed to me, and I can choose the show at will."

Suddenly, Kim Jong-kwon's eyes lit up. Yes, Senior Yoo Jae-suk has so many good shows in his hands, so why not call and ask.

Although Yoo Jae-suk said he would drink with him before leaving last time, I don’t know if he had forgotten or was too busy and never looked for him. However, during the holidays, Kim Jong-kwon still sent a text message to greet him, and he also received a reply, proving that Yoo Jae-suk had not forgotten him.

"Hey, is it Senior Zaishi?"
