Rebirth of the Director in Korea

Chapter 269 Unexpected Calls

Once Production crew enters the shooting state, if you are an experienced director, then Production crew’s The operation must be orderly, and the entire Production crew is running like a precision machine. If the director’s experience and controlling ability are almost too good, the subsequent shooting process will certainly not go smoothly. Fortunately, Jung Hyuk-jae has no worries in this regard.

The TV series “Work” mainly tells a love story that takes place under the background of a fictitious monarchy. After all, the TV series is filmed for housewives who are at home all day long. Natural love is Indispensable.

A glance at the main content of the TV series, according to the eyes of Jung Hyuk-jae later generations, this story may seem a bit clichéd. The rich second generation in the TV series is usually replaced by the Crown under the monarchy. Prince, and the emperor Crown Prince’s ex-girlfriend did not agree to his marriage proposal in order to pursue his dream. Later, when the heroine appeared on the stage, she realized that she had already signed a marriage contract with the emperor Crown Prince…

This is simply a story of Cinderella and the overbearing president with a changed background. What’s so good about it!

But these are only in the opinion of some people. The TV series “Princess Hours” in the previous life can still get more than 30% of the ratings under the siege of the other two TV Stations. To explain the problem, the audience doesn’t really care whether this story is a Cinderella story in Beijing. What they care about is whether the plot of the story is good or not. For this, Jung Hyuk-jae is still very confident.

Although this TV series is adapted from Park So-hee’s comic “Princess Hours”, the plots described in the book do not necessarily apply in some plots, so in the adaptation of the script, Jung Hyuk-jae has also worked hard. In addition to reviewing the general plot of the entire previous life in his mind, he also added some of his own things. A work that was polished slower will definitely not be worse than the previous life.

The at first scene of the entire TV series appeared in the palace, and the deep background music sounded. On the edge of a bed, there was no expression on the doctor’s face, and the scene turned to another one. Out of the palace, through the half-open window, I saw the imperial doctor approaching a woman. The woman saw the visitor and asked anxiously: “What is the disease?”

These palaces in the lens look like The house was actually shot in the studio of MBCTV Station. It looks like the whole palace is quite big, and the interior decoration is also quite luxurious, but in fact, when looking inside from the camera, the camera lens There is no weak spot in the place that can be scanned. In fact, the lens only needs to be turned slightly to the side, and everything will be exposed.

What kind of palace is this? The place on the right was supposed to be a wall, but at this time, there was nothing there. A staff member was standing diagonally opposite looking at the opposition of several actors in the palace. Lines, while talking and chatting Tianer.

Look at the all around of the palace again, the splendorous and majestic decorations seem to attract everyone’s attention, but in fact, if you look closely, you will find out what solid wood is on the wall, simply that kind Are the thin plywood panels spliced ​​together?

Such a wall looks a little shabby, but in fact it is limited to insufficient funds. Jung Hyuk-jae will not embezzle the money that can be saved. Naturally, it will continue to invest in receiving During the next shooting.

The first day of shooting will not choose the difficult plot, but choose the plot with a few lines. This is not too difficult, and it is very simple. After taking two simple shots, Jung Hyuk-jae first called a pause, and let the Assistant Director of Production crew continue to stare at the production crew’s shooting, and then he came to the resting place of the set.

“Did anyone call me just now?” Jung Hyuk-jae came to the rest area and directly asked a production crew girl here.

“Hyuk-jae Sunbae, just put your phone here, and someone called in later. I answered it for you. It was indeed looking for you, but you were nervous at the time. Shooting, so I didn’t bother you.” The girl took out Jung Hyuk-jae’s mobile phone and handed it back to him, and then continued: “He didn’t say who he is on the phone, but just said that he will wait for you to come back. Give him a call back.”

“Okay, thank you!” Jung Hyuk-jae answered the call, faintly smiled and said thank you.

“It’s okay, Hyuk-jae Sunbae!” The girl waved her hand, a slight smile bloomed at the corner of her mouth, and her neck was dyed with a layer of blush. It seemed that she was indeed some girls The little shy.

As long as the Production crew controlled by Jung Hyuk-jae, under normal circumstances, he strictly requires that any staff of Production crew are not allowed to bring mobile phones to work, because doing so can easily interfere with the normal filming progress of the TV series , So he should play the leading role as it should be, just like all the team members, put his mobile phone in the rest area here.

Jung Hyuk-jae took his phone back, glanced at the caller ID, and saw that the phone number he had just called was a phone number he had never remembered before, which made Jung Hyuk-jae It’s a little weird. The phone in my hand contains my own private number. Under normal circumstances, it is really difficult for other people to get it. After all, that many relatives and friends are not added to this phone. So there are really not many people who know their own number.

In my mind, these thoughts were just a circle. Jung Hyuk-jae pressed the callback button on the phone keyboard. After more than ten seconds of busy tone, the phone was connected. Jung Hyuk- Jae heard the voice of someone talking, “Hello, are you?”

Jung Hyuk-jae’s mind was a little confused for a while when he heard the female voice from the microphone. , Why is it a woman, who is this calling yourself?

“Hello, hello, may I be the one you called me just now?” Jung Hyuk-jae asked, and then he heard the female voice on the other side shaking her head and explaining.

“You are Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi, the call just now was not from me.” After speaking, the girl began to explain, “Yes, Jung Hyuk-jae- ssi, I didn’t introduce myself to you just now. I’m the assistant of Bong Joon-woo-ssi. It was Bong Joon-woo who called you just now. Bong Joon-woo is still in a meeting at this moment. Wait for the meeting to end. I’ll let him call you back.”

What?

Jung Hyuk-jae was a little surprised when the girl on the other end said that. It turned out to be Bong Joon-woo. How did he find his private number? And why did he find himself here today?

Jung Hyuk-jae thought in his heart, hung up the phone, found a seat in the rest area, and waited patiently for Bong Joon-woo’s call.

Speaking of Bong Joon-woo, to be honest, there are not many audiences who know him now. He was born in Daegu Metropolitan City, South Korea on September 14, 1969. In 2000, he used his long Debut Work “Barking Dogs Never Bite” officially debuted. In 2003, a thriller and suspense film “Memory of Murder” surprised the world. The film is based on a real serial murder case and tells a suspenseful story. For film, Bong Joon-woo not only won the Best Director at the 2nd South Korea Film Awards, the film also won the Best Screenwriter Award at the 2nd Republic of Korea Film Awards, and the Best Asian Film Award at the 16th Tokyo Film Festival, 40th. The Grand Bell Award for Best Director, the 51st San Bastian International Film Festival New Director Award and FIPRESCI Award, and the Busan Film Critics Association Best Screenplay Award and other awards.

Even so, he is still not so conspicuous in the audience’s comments. After all, it is the work behind the scenes that the director is, and how can there be fans like this group of people!

He also graduated from Yonsei University, and speaking of which is still Jung Hyuk-jae’s big Sunbae. After all, Bong Joon-woo was born in 1969, which is almost bigger than Jung Hyuk-jae’s words. At about eleven, he enrolled much earlier than Jung Hyuk-jae. As a member of the 8Level 8 Department of Social Sciences who loves movies, speaking of which can also be regarded as fate, like Jung Hyuk-jae’s at school At that time, the student’s film club was established by Bong Joon-woo and a classmate who also loved movies. The first club’s president was Bong Joon-woo.

At Yonsei University’s anniversary last year, Jung Hyuk-jae, as the former president of the film club, once met Bong Joon-woo from a distance, not to mention this year’s anniversary, as the most recent Among the outstanding students cultivated by Yonsei University in the past few years, Jung Hyuk-jae obviously had a celebrity addiction during that time. Speeches at the school anniversary conference, interviews by various media reporters, and Kind of little fans reach out for candy.

Just, what exactly is this call from Bong Joon-woo today? Jung Hyuk-jae was also a little confused for a while.

“dīng líng líng …dīng líng líng …”

I was thinking, the phone Jung Hyuk-jae put on the table at this time rang at the right time , Jung Hyuk-jae picked up the phone and glanced at the caller ID. It was the phone number that was just called. He didn’t think much before pressing the call to see. Even after hearing a familiar voice from the other end, slightly It is low and very magnetic when speaking.

“Bong Joon-woo Sunbae!”

Hearing this familiar voice, Jung Hyuk-jae respectfully greeted him, this is Sunbae,

“Well, it’s Hyuk-jae-ssi, were you busy when I called you?” Bong Joon-woo on the other end of the phone said with a smile, and his tone was quite high than usual. Going up is also a lot lighter.

“The Water-Wood Drama of MBCTV Station just started filming today, so the production crew was a bit busy in business, so I didn’t get your call right away. “Jung Hyuk-jae said with a sigh.

The two people chatted for a while, and no one explained their purpose thoroughly, perhaps because the atmosphere between the two people was a bit strange.

“When will you have time to come to school?” Bong Joon-woo on the phone said, as if he had decided something in his heart.

“Back to school?”

Jung Hyuk-jae’s face became a little strange when he heard Bong Joon-woo’s words. What does Bong Joon-woo’s words mean? Could it be that there is something in the school that needs this group of own, or graduates like yourself to go back? It’s just that there are still a few months before the school’s celebration activities. At this time, Bong Joon-woo called and asked himself to go back. What does it mean?

“Well, you come to school first. I held a movie event for college students here. If you have time, come here first. In addition, there are some things that are not on the phone. It’s easy to explain.”

Bong Joon-woo said so, and Jung Hyuk-jae naturally didn’t dare to neglect, and agreed in a busy schedule, no matter what the busy time was.

…………………………………..

Hang up the phone, Jung Hyuk-jae handed the phone to the staff in the rest area to help with it, and then he returned to the shooting area on the set because of a phone call from Bong Joon-woo , Jung Hyuk-jae has been thinking about things in his heart at the moment, and has never been able to guess what Bong Joon-woo’s call really meant.

Returning to the set, as a director, Jung Hyuk-jae naturally took over the director’s stick again, and rechecked some shots completed by the Assistant Director just now through the monitor on the side. Jung Hyuk- Jae couldn’t help but be satisfied with nodded, the quality and effect of the shooting are not bad, and it’s not bad.

“Jung PD, was someone looking for you just now?” The Assistant Director on the side came over to see Jung Hyuk-jae back, and said to him with a smile.

“en!” Jung Hyuk-jae nodded, then didn’t say anything, picked up the microphone on the side and started directing the crew on the set to make the final prop adjustments, and then I was going to shoot the next one The lens, the time is very tight, can not tolerate half-point sloppy.

This set of MBCTV Station has no other advantages, only one advantage, that is, it is large enough. As early as a month before the start of the TV series, Jung Hyuk-jae not only handed over the scripts he had at hand to TV Station for review, he also did production crew art work, and he remembered some of the decorations that need to be used in the TV series. Ah, I have drawn some sketches about the style of the palace, how beautiful it can’t be called, it can only be said that it is visible and recognizable.

If it is understood by the art director of TV Station that he not only robbed Screenwriter’s job, but also his own job. I don’t know how many art directors would jump up and scold the streets!

Several half-rooms built for shooting are scattered throughout the studio. There are second and first floors. After all, it is impossible for anyone to really build a 2-Layer building on the studio, even These problems can be solved by switching the camera for more than a dozen floors.

What Jung Hyuk-jae needs to do is how to rationally dispatch the camera machinery and manpower, which is also a practical method that tests the director’s skills for the director.
