Rebirth of the Director in Korea

Although TV dramas are different from large-scale productions like movies, but even so, it is not a small one for Jung Hyuk-jae, who directly directed 1 billion TV dramas for the second time. test.

As early as after the script review of the play “I’m Sorry, I Love You” passed, Jung Hyuk-jae has already started the preliminary preparations for Production crew, from the selection of production crew to The sorting of the script requires him, the director, to get involved in many matters.

The deployment of TV Station camera materials, the management and care of props, and the simple and trivial things need him to go through roughly.

Although I have a general impression of “I’m Sorry, I Love You” in my mind, Jung Hyuk-jae still needs to live with the Vice Group Leader of Production Crew’s VJ group leader and art director. Came to the scene, riding a rented Bicycle on the streets of Melbourne.

In many cases, the director does not need to do everything by himself, but he needs to know all aspects and know how to communicate.

The venue is ready, find the producer and translator to negotiate with the venue Chief-In-Charge about the lease, and need to discuss the rental time, cost, and safety issues that need to be paid attention to.

The venue has been found, and he needs to communicate with the photographer and art director about the placement of the camera and the laying of the track, how the camera should shoot, and how to shoot under the existing conditions. The desired effect.

In the evening, the actors are invited to gather together for a trial reading of the lines. He will explain the background of the characters in the story, so that the actors can study their own roles more deeply, understand them, and experience them. Roles. Everyone will also talk to each other about the problems encountered during the daytime shooting. Everyone speaks freely. He needs to listen carefully to everyone’s speech and record it.

He will also work out a plan for shooting. The overseas shooting of “I’m Sorry, I Love You” can be called a’time-critical task’, and it must be limited Complete all the plots in Melbourne in the script within time. This requires the director, Jung Hyuk-jae, to allocate the shooting time according to the venue and actors. The plot of a scene must be integrated together, striving to complete the shooting within a certain period of time.

In order to do this well, he must be familiar with the script and integrate the scenes. If the filming here is completed, and when I return to Seoul, I find that there is still a plot of Melbourne that has not been filmed, then it really becomes a big joke in the TV drama circle.

So, Jung Hyuk-jae’s heart has always been in his heart since the production crew was preparing to build it. Even when he arrived in Melbourne, he didn’t feel completely relieved, because As the young patriarch of this Production crew, he also needs to be personally responsible for everyone’s safety.

Melbourne is relatively safe, but which city does not have its dark side, and the same is true of Melbourne when the night falls. So long before the production crew shooting, unless it was a night shooting, everyone had to stay in the hotel Ne at night and were not allowed to go out.

Although this move has attracted a lot of criticism, but under the strong pressure of Jung Hyuk-jae, everyone still silently abides by what the director said.

…………

Melbourne’s streets, set up the scene early The staff circled the venue, and several staff members walked beyond the range that the camera can shoot, directing the passing crowd to prevent disturbing the shooting on the spot.

Perhaps everyone has become accustomed to such shooting. Except for a few black people jumping into the camera’s shooting range and making fun, most people can still look steadily forward and walk away.

The scene filmed on the streets of Melbourne today is’TV Station’s interview with abandoned orphans like Cha Moo-hyuk’. Actors So Ji-sub and Choi Yeo-jin are standing in front of the camera and sorting out Lines, waiting for the start of the director’s preparations.

Grey jeans with a gray half-sleeved jacket, a square scarf wrapped around the head, a few days of untrimmed beard stubble straight out, born in 1977, 27-year-old So Ji-sub looked older than his actual age at a glance.

“The second scene of “I’m Sorry, I Love You” is the first shot for the first shot, start!” The young man of Supervisor ran to the camera and slapped the board with the Supervisor card in his hand.

With a light sound of “click”, the staff present each raised their spirits and focused on their work meticulously.

In front of the camera, So Ji-sub puts a hand on the mailbox on the street, staring at the camera lens while chanting lines.

“I don’t remember anymore. I heard that I was adopted when I was two years old.” So Ji-sub pointed at the camera to extend the hand and gestured a ‘2’.

“What? Do you speak your mother tongue? I speak very slippery, my girlfriend taught me to say it!” With a bragging smile at the corner of his mouth, he stretched out his fingers and said, “I’m so bored I lost it to you. Look at me…I will say these things!” After speaking, So Ji-sub stretched his arm out of the screen and hugged Choi Yeo- Moon Ji-young played by Jin, “This is my girlfriend, Ji-young!”

“I can understand my mother, and I also know that she is compelled by circumstances, no one is willing to abandon it Things like this are also possible for your own biological flesh and blood. For example, the family is so poor that you can’t even afford milk powder. I want to let my little child live in a rich man’s life!”

In front of the monitor, Jung Hyuk-jae rubbed his chin and carefully checked the shot. So Ji-sub has almost thoroughly grasped the role of Cha Moo-hyuk. The lines are very good in terms of tone and action. Unlike many other actors who show their acting skills to the surface, he has been in many TV series since his debut for seven years. Understand the introverted acting skills.

Though I said that, after the shooting of this shot was completed, Jung Hyuk-jae carefully inspected the filmed content from beginning to end, and it seemed that there were some shortcomings.

So Ji-sub and Choi Yeo-jin stood behind him without saying a word. They seemed to want to see what kind of self this 24-year-old director could shoot.

Although I felt strange in my heart, Jung Hyuk-jae didn’t notice any problems at first glance. So Ji-sub and Choi Yeo-jin’s acting skills are very good, and there are no passersby in the lens. The person showed a strange look, but he checked it again, and the strange feeling in his heart became more and more intense.

Staring at the monitor again and seeing the finished picture again, Jung Hyuk-jae stared at So Ji-sub’s mouth in the picture, and finally understood where the weirdness in my heart came from .

He stretched out his hand and greeted him, calling the staff on the scene, “You go to the convenience store over there and buy a pack of gum and come back!”

“Me?” The guy who was able to react was stunned. Jung Hyuk-jae thought that because he didn’t give him money, he took out the small denomination of Australian dollars that he had exchanged yesterday and put it in his hands.

“You hurry up, buy a pack of gum and come back, hurry up! I need it for shooting!”

The guy only reacted to it, but the money was nodded and he walked quickly He ran to a convenience store not far away. He hadn’t even ran out a few steps before, but he ran back and scratched his head embarrassedly in front of Jung Hyuk-jae, “Jung PD, how do you say chewing gum in English?”

“ChewingGum!”

Standing behind Jung Hyuk-jae, So Ji-sub saw his every move clearly. Although he didn’t quite understand why he did it, So Ji -sub still patiently waits for his next move.

During the time when the guy ran to buy gum, Jung Hyuk-jae watched the shot over and over again, without the slightest impatience.

Five minutes later, the guy who bought the gum finally rushed back, gasping for breath and handed the gum to Jung Hyuk-jae.

“So Ji-sub -ssi, you will be able to chew gum while reciting lines when shooting, let’s do it again!” Jung Hyuk-jae explained.

“Yes!?” Hearing his explanation, So Ji-sub was still a little puzzled, but when he was standing in front of the camera with chewing gum in his mouth, even Jung Hyuk- The staff around Jae can see the difference between this scene and the one just shot.

If you say that Cha Moo-hyuk, played by So Ji-sub before, is still a bit serious, then when he chews gum in his mouth while reciting the lines, he has become a whole’ With an appearance of cynicism, he gently hooked his girlfriend Moon Ji-young on the shoulder, looking at the camera with a trace of evil charm, exuding a unique charm.

“The second scene of “I’m Sorry, I Love You” was shot for the second time, Action!” The Supervisor guy continued to play the game.

“I’m going to find my poor mother, buy her new clothes, buy her a steak, and give her a beautiful house!”

Speaking, Cha Moo-hyuk hugged his girlfriend Moon Ji-young again and shouted at the camera: “Mom, wait for me, I want you to live in ease and comfort for another five years! Just five years, okay? “

Cha Moo-hyuk stretched out his palm towards the camera, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was called’family affection’.

“OK, pass!”

Jung Hyuk-jae looked at the screen again and was slightly nodded after confirmation.

……………………………….

Incheon International Airport, a group of people from the same Centaur Grandiose waited for their flight to start, and a few people not far away were surrounded by reporters.

“Lee Hyung-min PD, do you have confidence in the Moon-Fire Drama you directed this time?”

Because there are cameras and reporters present, Lee Hyung-min Holding back the anger in his heart, he forced a smile from the corner of his mouth, “Of course I am confident that there are powerful actors like Kim Tae-hee and Kim Rae-won to join, and Choi Wan-gyu Screenwriter’s lead creation, “Love “Story In Harvard” will definitely take the lead in the next Moon-Fire Drama battle!”

“Do you mean that SBSTV Station and MBCTV Station will be steadily suppressed in terms of ratings?”

Lee Hyung-min didn’t say a word, pretending not to hear the reporter’s question.

“Excuse me, if “Love Story In Harvard” won first place in the next ratings battle, what do you think of the original author of this play’s novel-Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi? “

Listening to this reporter’s question, Lee Hyung-min’s mood was broken at the time, a big smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he silently shouted to the reporter: WCNM!
