Chapter 362: Ministers of Nanshan
As mentioned before, the Directors Guild of Korea is a spontaneous industry organization. Its current president is the left-wing director Park Chan-wook. His films "Joint Security Area" and "Oldboy" have almost become symbols of the "Korean Wave" these days.

The key point to emphasize here is that Park Chan-wook's political stance is left-leaning and he is a staunch supporter of progressives.

Cui Mingde did not answer An Rusong's question. He continued to sit behind his desk, writing something in a notebook with his head down. He said, "I don't know what kind of deal you made with my grandfather, and I don't care about that..."

There was a pause, and the guy's tone of voice actually sounded a little difficult, as if he was a little embarrassed.

"I originally didn't want to... didn't want to accept your investment," the little fat man kept his head down, and his voice seemed to be a little softer, "Because I don't want to... don't want to use my grandfather's money, but my company and I really need this money now. We have a very good script in our hands, and I want to film it and send it to the big screen."

At this point, his voice paused again. After a few seconds, he emphasized his tone and said, "Anyway, no matter what I do, I can't stop Grandpa from falling. It's better to let him do some good things during his fall to reduce some of his crimes."

An Rusong laughed inwardly. What does "being both a leader and a subordinate" mean? See, this guy in front of him, who has a head full of middle school ideas, is a person who is both a leader and a subordinate.

Is Choi Shi-jung a good person? If we stand from the perspective of the entire country of South Korea, he is definitely not a good person, but if we stand from the same perspective, how many good people can there be among the nearly 50 million people in South Korea? But if we stand from Choi Myeong-deok's own perspective, what qualifications does he have to condemn and blame the old man Choi?

An Rushong didn't know how the relationship between Cui Mingde and Cui Shizhong, the grandfather and grandson, became antagonistic, but according to his speculation, it should be related to Cui Shizhong's current notoriety that was being criticized by thousands of people. In other words, it was related to his decision to accept Li Minbo's appointment as the first chairman of the Broadcasting and Communications Commission.

Because Cui Shizhong accepted the appointment, he became the target of attack by various associations dominated by progressives, which led to Cui Mingde being excluded from the Directors Association and even the director circle. As a result, the little fat man was deeply hit and did not dare to target those who excluded him, but instead hated old man Cui.

But on the one hand, he hated Old Man Cui, but on the other hand, he was reluctant to give up the help that Old Man Cui offered him. So, on the one hand, he expressed his opposition to Old Man Cui, and on the other hand, he showed an attitude of wanting to accept but not reject the money sent by An Rushong. What else could this be but being both a hypocrite and a hypocrite?
To be honest, with An Rusong's personality, he looked down on people like the little fat man, because such people are so-called people who are good at internal fighting but not good at external fighting. If it were An Rusong, he would not have so many concepts of good and evil. As long as someone in this world is truly good to him, even if he disagrees with or does not support the other party's position, he would not put on a selfless face to reject the other party and turn to please those who have nothing to do with him.

Perhaps it was related to the gray industry he was engaged in in his previous life. An Rusong himself did not have much of a sense of good and evil. He was a rather narrow-minded person. Therefore, in his eyes, killing relatives for the sake of justice was completely incomprehensible. Relatives were relatives, and justice was justice. Although the latter sounded very passionate and moral, it would never know the coldness and warmth of others, and would never extend a hand to someone without hesitation when he needed it. Only the former would, and would always do so.

However, no matter how he felt about this little fat boy, An Rushong, who had long learned to speak differently to different people, would not show his likes and dislikes in front of the other person. That would be too childish.

Not only will he not show his disagreement with this guy, he will also show that he is very optimistic about him and approves of his attitude. This is not for any other reason, but because this little fat guy is so immature. To put it bluntly, he is simple enough and easy to deceive.

Since being reborn into this world, An Rushong has come into contact with quite a few second-generation rich people. Among them, some are ruthless, some are arrogant and domineering, and some are talented and complicated. However, this is the first time he has seen someone as simple and immature as Cui Mingde.

Of course, this may also be related to his life experience. After all, Cui Shizhong's first half of his life was not very satisfactory. He should be the kind of person who achieved success late in life. The process of his life turnaround is actually closely related to Li Minbo's development in the political arena.

Looking at the somewhat naive little fat boy in front of him, and thinking about his grandfather who is about to become the first chairman of the "Korean Broadcasting and Communications Commission" and will hold all the power in the Korean broadcasting and communications industry in his hands, An Rushong feels that it is obviously necessary for him to spend more time on him.

"Director Cui, you don't have to explain this to me," An Rusong said with a smile, hiding his true thoughts deep in his heart, "Hasn't the relevant investment agreement been signed? Just as stated in the agreement, my money is not given to you, but used to invest in your company. I am optimistic about your development and the development of your company. That's it, nothing else."

Cui Mingde looked up at him, his thick lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

"Director Cui, are you doing storyboards?" An Rusong straightened his back, glanced at the small notebook in front of him, and asked, "I just saw you drawing something. Hmm, I guess I saw it right, right?"

Cui Mingde lowered his head again, hummed sullenly, and said sparingly, "Yes."

"Is that the great script you mentioned?" An Rusong fished out a cigarette from his pocket, took out a cigarette and held it between his fingers, saying, "Oh, sorry, can I have a cigarette?"

Cui Mingde picked up a cigarette box from the side and handed it to An Rushong. After waiting for a while, he felt that the other party did not take it, so he looked up and saw that An Rushong had already lit the cigarette and was gently shaking his fingers holding the cigarette towards him. "Okay, after all, you are also an investor in the company." Putting down the cigarette box, he stared at An Rushong for a few seconds, then he let out a long sigh, and while speaking, he handed over an obviously printed bound book at hand, "Just please don't spread the content of the script. If there is a copyright dispute, it will be very troublesome."

An Rushong didn't say anything either. He smiled, took the script and looked at the cover.

The cover of the script is very simple, just an A4 white paper with a line of Korean printed on it in vertical format: "Blade of Power".

Below this line of Korean, there are four names, Choi Myung-deok's name is among them, probably the name of the screenwriter.

After taking another look at the fat boy, An Rushong crossed his legs, placed the script on the knee of his right leg, and leisurely turned the pages.

The script was very thick, and there were many parts that needed to be revised and noted, which seemed a bit difficult to read, but An Rushong still flipped through it quickly, and he really understood what the story was about.

To be honest, after reading the first few pages of the script, An Rushong was reminded of a very famous Korean movie in his previous life. The name of that movie was "The Ministers of Namsan".

That's right, the content of this script is about the assassination of President Park, but the angle of description, narrative process and method are very different from "The Ministers of Namsan". It describes this historical event from the perspective of a small guard, and the story line is a bit simple.

What An Rushong can be sure of is that in the world of his previous life, there was definitely no Korean movie called "Blade of Power", at least he had never seen it or heard of it.

When An Rusong was looking through the script, Cui Mingde was still working on his storyboards, but from time to time, he would look up to see An Rusong's expression. He and three friends worked on this script together, and they were very confident in this work, just like all novice screenwriters, even overconfident.

An Rushong could be said to be the first audience of this script. Although Cui Mingde pretended to be calm, he actually wanted to know what kind of evaluation the other party would give to this script.

"How is it?" When An Rusong finally turned his eyes away from the script, Cui Mingde couldn't hold back his emotions and immediately asked, "What do you think of this script?"

The cigarette he had lit earlier had already been finished. An Rusong did not answer the other party's question directly. Instead, he lit another cigarette for himself, took two puffs, and then said, "I know what you want to shoot. The history of the Third Republic is indeed of great interest to people. If you can shoot it in a nearly realistic way, I believe the effect will be very good."

Hearing him say this, Cui Mingde's lips curled up slightly. Young people are just so impatient.

"However, I also have a story set in the same period. Do you want to hear it?" An Rushong put the script back on the table and pushed it in front of the other party before speaking.

"What story?" Cui Mingde blinked his round eyes and asked in confusion.

"Well, has Director Cui seen "The Ministers of Nanshan"? " An Rushong did not answer him directly, but asked back.

"The Ministers of Namsan" is actually a documentary literature. It was serialized in the Dong-A Ilbo nine years ago, but the content of the original work is very different from the plot in the movie.

Cui Mingde thought about it and nodded again.

"This story of mine is an extension of "The Ministers of Nanshan," An Rushong said with a smile.
