Rebirth of the Director in Korea

The time has entered the end of March, and after almost two weeks of hard work, the preparations for the production crew of “Old Thousand” are finally over, and the candidates for the main roles in the play are also all Must be selected within two weeks.

As the protagonist of the movie, Jung Hyuk-jae chose Cho Seung-woo, who won the South Korea Film Grand Bell Award and Baeksang Art Awards last year for his “Marathon”, and made his debut in 1999. Cho Seung-woo, who has no choice in acting, has enough box office appeal. Although he is not a handsome man, he is definitely a man of temperament and style.

The 2000 film “The Legend of Chunxiang” became South Korea’s first work shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival, and Cho Seung-woo played the actor Li Menglong in the film. In 2001, he starred in the movie “Wani and Jun-ha”, and in 2002, he starred in “WhoareYou”, “YMCA Baseball Team”, “H Murder” and other movies, successfully shaping the “Masses Sweetheart”. “image of.

In 2003, he starred as the male protagonist Wu Jun-ha in “Love Is Provided”. He has never won any awards in his debut for many years. With last year’s South Korea version of “Ah The movie “Marathon” of “Kan Zheng Chuan” won 8 nominations and won a total of 6 awards. The actor Cho Seung-woo became the double actor of the Grand Bell Award and the Baeksang Art Awards.

After the actor and several other male characters are determined, the only thing that bothers Jung Hyuk-jae is the beauty Boss Zheng in the comics. According to the description of her in the comics It is both a sexy bearing and charming temperament bar Boss and a charming casino beautiful and alluring’Lady Boss’. After testing Gonny’s gambling skills, he will be classified as a veteran who only serves himself, like Flowers and butterflies fly around in this male-dominated world, so beautiful that it is dazzling.

The most important thing in the entertainment industry is the beautiful female artist, but after several days of interviewing, Jung Hyuk-jae discovered that the candidate for this role is not that good choice. That’s not to say The artists who came for the interview were not beautiful. Even those who were not beautiful had big eyes, small noses and pointed chins. After all, they were not beautiful enough to dare to come out as artists.

Although there are a lot of beautiful female artists interviewed, but none of them matches the character setting of Ms. Zheng in the play. Their beauty seems to be on the surface.

There is such a plot in the script. It is about a flower card game after Ms. Zheng paid Gao Ni to her own banner. Ms. Zheng wearing a blue skirt will take the flower card in her hand. raised high, and then raised Erlang’s legs to deliberately expose his private parts, in order to entice other gamblers.

In the interview for the role of Ms. Zheng, Jung Hyuk-jae singled out this section and asked them to perform. The result came out very quickly. They are coy and coy, but I’m sorry. I’m sorry, I didn’t make this perfect performance. Although there are still a few who barely finished this performance, the style they deliberately showed is not enough, and I always feel that it is a little bit worse.

“Okay, the performance is all right here. If there is an intention, I will call your manager.”

Sitting behind a table, Jung Hyuk -jae put aside the information of the female artist in front of him, and then said to her.

Although Jung Hyuk-jae did not say anything, it is obvious that the face of the artist in front of him has stiffened a lot. Under normal circumstances, if the interviewer says this, then his hopes can be said to be unlimited The female artist cleaned up her things, turned and pushed open the door of the office, and left. After she left, Jung Hyuk-jae finally relaxed a little, and stretched her head back for a whole day. The interview is finally over.

“Is that okay just now?”

Beside Jung Hyuk-jae is Lee Joon-ik, who he caught to be a strong man, and he stayed with him all day today. He interviewed for the role of Ms. Zheng. As the heroine with the most scenes in the film, there were no fewer than dozens of people who came for the interview today. After a round of interviews, there was no time to rest at noon, and finally the interview was over. To criticize, the most frustrating thing is that I did not find a suitable candidate. Equivalent to I did useless work today.

Hearing Lee Joon-ik’s words, Jung Hyuk-jae glanced at the art photo blown out by the blower on the side material, and then shook the head, “Not enough flavor!”

After one day’s interview, Lee Joon-ik was almost driven mad by Jung Hyuk-jae. This is not good, that is almost. Anyway, there are dozens of female artists who don’t have what he wants. The literary point said that this is right. He directed the film with a serious and responsible attitude, but he was too inked. It is estimated that Lee Joon-ik is going to be crazy if he stays any longer.

Of course, Lee Joon-ik still appreciates Jung Hyuk-jae’s attitude from the bottom of his heart, especially a younger generation of directors like him, especially the first film he directed. , There is always nothing wrong with being serious.

Because of Jung Hyuk-jae’s remarks, Lee Joon-ik also cast his eyes on this document, then frowned and asked: “What do you think should be more flavorful?”

Hearing Lee Joon-ik’s question, Jung Hyuk-jae frowns in the same way. After a short while, he remembered a suitable adjective, “Mature. Female!”

“Sister Huixiu, Baeksang Art Awards sent the invitation letter Now, I invite you to be the guest of honor for this Baeksang Art Awards.”

In the backstage lounge of MBCTV Station, Kim Hye-soo is waiting to record the next conversation program, because today’s I had a few trips in the morning, so she felt a little tired. She was leaning against the sofa and squinting. The other hand was boringly curling up the ends of her hair to play, seemingly simple movements, in the presence of others. It seems to be full of temptation.

The assistant next to Kim Hye-soo is holding the itinerary sheet and reading the next itinerary.

“Baeksang Art Awards? What award do I want to give out?” When his assistant talked about Baeksang, Kim Hye-soo also came in spirit, opened his wistful eyes and said Asked.

“Best Actress Award, -eonni, you are not the winner of the previous time award, so Baeksang Art Awards naturally sent you an invitation letter, and the time, time and location of the award have been confirmed. Now, it will be held at the National Theater at 18:00 in the afternoon of April 14.” The assistant said according to the date on the invitation letter.

“Well, I know.” Kim Hye-soo nodded said.

Speaking of Kim Hye-soo’s name, it is almost known to everyone known to everyone in South Korea. She was born in 1970 when she was 15 years old with the “Nestlé Milo” advertisement. In the entertainment industry, she officially entered the ranks of actors in the movie “Contempt” in 1986. In the same year, she participated in the drama film “Gumbo” and won the best new actress award in the 23rd South Korea Baeksang Art Awards, 1993 In 2015, she starred in the youth romance film “First Love”, and won the 14th South Korea Blue Dragon Film Award for Best Actress: Then in 1995, she starred in the romantic comedy “Doctor Merry” and won Best Actress at the 16th South Korea Blue Dragon Film Awards. In 2004, she starred in the thriller romance “Shameless Beauty”, won the 42nd South Korea Film Grand Bell Award for Best Actress and the 41st South Korea Baeksang Art Awards Film Award-Best Actress Award.

Her achievements in film are far more than that. Since Kim Hye-soo started hosting the Blue Dragon Film Festival in 1999, she has won many awards at the Blue Dragon Film Festival, plus hosting this Work, is affectionately referred to by many viewers as the “Blue Dragon woman”, and many viewers once said, “Without Kim Hye-soo, Blue Dragon would no longer be Blue Dragon.” This is enough to tell Kim Hye-soo’s popularity among the audience.

After the little assistant said this, he sat aside quietly and far away. He didn’t dare to disturb Kim Hye-soo’s rest, and he didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.

Kim Hye-soo is so tired, a faint snoring sound came within a few minutes after closing his eyes.

“da da da!”

But sometimes when I want to go to bed, God doesn’t let myself go to sleep. It’s not like I just closed my eyes. It’s in the lounge. The door was slapped, and the scared assistant hurriedly got up and ran to the door and opened the door of the lounge. Before she could see the person who patted the door, she thought she was ignorant and had no eyesight. The junior of the price, the assistant was ready to say a few words, but when she saw a work card hanging on the person’s neck in front of her, her slightly opened mouth spit out softly: “May I ask who you are looking for? Isn’t it twenty minutes before the program recording starts?”

The young man in front of me turned out to be a staff member of MBCTV Station?

Hearing what the assistant said, Jung Hyuk-jae glanced inside, and then asked: “Not good, I am not a staff member of that column, I just want to ask Kim Hye-soo Is -ssi here?”

Because of Jung Hyuk-jae’s words, the assistant looked towards his eyes with a little more alertness, “May I ask if you have anything to do with her? ?”

“I’m here to talk to her about work.”

“Work?” The assistant is still going to ask more questions. Didn’t expect the lounge Kim Hye-soo, who heard the movement at the door, also woke up at this moment.

“Huizhen, let him in!”

On hearing Kim Hye-soo’s words, the assistant got up from the door and let go, by the way, he didn’t forget Jung Hyuk-jae glanced aside, and seemed to complain that he interrupted Kim Hye-soo’s rest.

When Jung Hyuk-jae walked into the lounge, Kim Hye-soo had already sat up straight from the sofa. After seeing the person coming, Kim Hye-soo rarely got up and smiled to greet him, “Jung Hyuk- jae -ssi? What brought you here today?”

When I saw Jung Hyuk-jae for the first time, Kim Hye-soo had already recognized him, as It is estimated that very few people in the circle don’t know him anymore. Leaving aside his achievements in TV dramas for the time being, this month’s remarks that he is going to direct and shoot a movie have also caused a great deal of Internet surfing. Discussing, my little assistant just entered the industry, and normally doesn’t pay much attention to TV dramas. It’s normal if I don’t know Jung Hyuk-jae.

“I’m not coming to the main hall for something. I heard that Kim Hye-soo -ssi is also here to record the program, so I want to visit you.” At the invitation of Kim Hye-soo Next, Jung Hyuk-jae sat down opposite her, staring directly at the woman who was nicknamed the “Blue Dragon” in front of her. He had already nodded in his heart. This is the smell!

“What else to visit Yah!! If I haven’t had a chance, I would have liked to meet Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi a long time ago.” Kim Hye-soo said with a smile, as he said The corners of the skirt were gathered on one side, and a simple movement was elegant and dignified with a little evil taste.

In the entertainment industry, Kim Hye-soo is not the most beautiful one, but she is the most flavorful female artist, and her age does not seem to be left too much on her body. Traces, Kim Hye-soo, who is 36 years old this year, is not young anymore, but the kind of “bad” woman is born with an irresistible sex appeal, even if it is not intentional, it makes the men present dream of it. .

Ms. Zheng is such a woman, extremely sexy, and the temptation to go deep into the bones is simply a sin! At that moment, Jung Hyuk-jae’s heart had already come to a conclusion, that Ms. Cheng’s role was none other than her!

“Actually, I came here today because I have something to look for you.” Jung Hyuk-jae considered the sentence and said.

Although the invitation contract for the movie character has been sent to Kim Hye-soo’s company, but I heard that Kim Hye-soo happened to be recording the program at MBCTV Station. Jung Hyuk-jae still wanted to come here in person. As far as Kim Hye-soo’s identity is concerned, the company has little control over her strength. In many cases, Kim Hye-soo is required to make decisions for the roles in movies and TV series. It is more formal to come here in person.

“Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi, please tell me.” Kim Hye-soo is not surprised at all. You must know that he has never contacted the Jung Hyuk-jae in front of you before, and suddenly came to him this time. She doesn’t think that it’s really to visit herself, as Jung Hyuk-jae said. It’s okay if she says she is a junior actor directly under her, but who is Jung Hyuk-jae? The creator of the TV drama ratings champion, Kim Hye-soo can’t think of a reason to come and visit him in person.

“Kim Hye-soo-ssi, take a look at this.” With that, Jung Hyuk-jae took out the script in white cover from his purse and put it in front of Kim Hye-soo.

“What is this?” Kim Hye-soo felt a little strange.

Jung Hyuk-jae explained with a smile: “This is the script of “Lao Qian”. I would like to invite you to play the role of Ms. Zheng in the play.”

I heard Jung Hyuk -jae’s invitation, Kim Hye-soo didn’t look through the script first, but looked up at Jung Hyuk-jae in front of him and asked, “Why me?”

“Because of the taste.” Jung Hyuk- Jae didn’t explain too much, “I think you and Ms. Zheng in the comics have the best temperament.”

Maybe it was Jung Hyuk-jae’s explanation that moved Kim Hye-soo, and she only took it. Started to study the script carefully, while Jung Hyuk-jae waited patiently on the side. When I flipped through the script and saw one-fifth of the script, it was estimated that the story happened to be when Ms. Zheng played for the first time. Kim Hye-soo suddenly lifts the head and looked at Jung Hyuk-jae in front of him and said: “I’ll take this role!”
