Chapter four hundred and ninety-eight directors' gathering
After the award ceremony, no matter what you think, whether you recognize the award’s announcement must at least maintain a demeanor.
Some people are full of enthusiasm, but naturally some people end up in a dim mood.
As a beneficiary of this year's Big Bell Award, Kim Jong-kwon received congratulations and congratulations from many people, while Kim Jong-kwon, who was very flamboyant on stage, was polite in the audience, showing his calm and funny side to the fullest, gaining favor from many people, and also reversing some people's prejudice against him.
After it was over, Kim Jong-kwon was about to go to Taeyeon and the others to celebrate, but director Li Zhenfan's words made him interested and he was ready to postpone the celebration.
It’s nothing more, it’s just that they usually have difficulty getting together, and they basically have their own movies to shoot, and the annual awards ceremony undoubtedly provides a possibility to bring them together.
So, when director Lee Zhenfan said that some of their close friends were going to get together, and director Jang Hoon and director Kim Ki-dou would go, Kim Jong-kwon felt that this was a good opportunity.
With the relationship between Director Zhang Xun, Director Kim Ki-dou can give him some advice, otherwise Kim Jong-kwon always feels something is wrong.
So, Kim Jong-kwon insisted on following him.
"We are a party between old friends, all of them are directors. Why are you joining in the fun? Why are you going to change careers and become directors?" Director Li Zhenfan didn't expect that his casual words would make him so embarrassed.
It doesn't matter if it's an ordinary party. Kim Jong-kwon took him there if he wanted to. However, if he took Kim Jong-kwon over in this situation, he wouldn't know what others would think.
"Didn't I go there last time, it was director Jang Hoon who asked me to come over." It was that time that Kim Jong Kwon met several directors before he became involved in the two movies "National Representative" and "Uncle".
"Haha, that time, Zhang Xun praised you to the horizon. We couldn't afford to lose face, so we asked you to come and take a look." Director Li Zhenfan made up the knife.
Kim Jong-kwon was choked, but it was true. Even so, he hurried over, then toasted a few glasses of wine, and said a few words before being driven away. As for the director, it is understandable that he was a little bit shy.
"Don't worry, I just went to ask Director Jang Hoon and Director Kim Ki-dou to say a few words, and then leave after that, so I won't waste your time." Kim Jong-kwon said angrily, "The director is just a director, what awesome, I'm still the best actor."
Hearing Kim Jong-kwon's slightly sour words, Director Li Zhenfan was not too much, so he could only reluctantly agree. The main reason was that the influence was not good. A group of directors participated in the role of an actor and what others would think, and if this precedent was set, there would definitely be people who would find connections to squeeze in.
To put it most realistically, for actors, every director represents at least one opportunity to act. Who would be so stupid that he would not seize the opportunity to have a good relationship with so many directors?
So in the face of Kim Jong-kwon's request, director Li Zhenfan was so embarrassed.
However, since Kim Jong-kwon said that, it must be something that happened. Director Li Zhenfan is still somewhat sure about Kim Jong-kwon's understanding. He is not a person who studies opportunism like that.
In this way, Kim Jong-kwon successfully got involved in the gathering of these great directors.
There seems to be little or no connection between directors, but in fact it may not be.
Due to the different national conditions, South Korea is a country that pays great attention to the relationship between pre and juniors and its origins. From the same school, whether they recognize or not, they will become very close to each other after knowing this relationship. The younger generation will directly belong to the faction of the older generation, and the current generation will also take care of the younger generation.
For example, before director Zhang Xun was the deputy director of director Kim Ki-dou before he was independent, so Zhang Xun was Kim Ki-dou's direct line, so when Zhang Xun was filming, Kim Ki-dou would help him, and even allow him to use his name to invest or obtain some resources.
If it weren't for his own people, would Kim Ki-dou take such a great risk to help Jang Hoon?
There is also the director of Zhang Cheol-soo, the film shortlisted for this Dazhong Award, "Kim Funam Murder Case". He is also a member of Kim Ki-dou and is considered a senior brother to Zhang Hoon. Kim Ki-dou is not so stupid that he trains so many new directors for no reason.
On the contrary, those who can do this are real big shots. When Kim Ki-duk is looking for directors with potential and branded him as Kim Ki-duk, he is already a godfather-level figure.
When you can’t use it, it’s worthless, but when it shows its effect, it’s hard to buy it!
There are only two directors whose director style can be described in the word "vigorous" in Korea. One is Park Chan-woo, and his "revenge" series is simply terrible! Even if you haven't heard of this person, you must know the "Old Boy" he directed.
Another one is Kim Ki-dou, who is a director who has achieved great success late and has achieved success through hardships. His works are a frequent visitor to major overseas film festivals and have also been shortlisted for the Oscar Best Foreign Language Film. His style and strength can be imagined!
Therefore, such private small group gatherings between directors are very common, and most of them are maintained by previous and younger generations or supportive relationships.
Directors also need such an occasion to let them collide with each other inspire, and sooner or later they will have the day when they have exhausted their inspiration.
Today is actually the same as director Kim Ki-duk, or the gathering of directors who are more familiar with each other, and there are some relationships among the directors who can come.

Kim Jong-kwon followed the car directed by Lee Zhenfan and ran into a very remote place. Kim Jong-kwon didn't know that there were hotels in Seoul that would be opened in such places.
For a few seconds, Kim Jong-kwon was wondering if director Li Zhenfan didn't want to bring him over and was about to get rid of him.
But Kim Jong-kwon immediately smiled and threw this unrealistic idea out of his mind. Recently, he must have read too many conspiracy theories and made him suspicious in everything he saw.
Finally, Kim Jong-kwon saw director Li Zhenfan's car outside a very down-and-out barbecue restaurant, so he found a parking space and parked the car.
Kim Jong-kwon looked at the signs with most of the lights on the characters, and he really couldn't believe that so many big directors gathered together would be such a low place.
However, no matter how confused he was, Kim Jong-kwon still ordered his agent to stop.
Chapter completed!
