Rebirth of the Director in Korea

“Hello, I am looking for Lee Joon-ik-ssi.”

A low-rise office building in Seoul Seocho District, the purpose of Jung Hyuk-jae’s visit this time I came to see Lee Joon-ik, the founder of Cineworld Entertainment film production company.

“Please wait a moment!” After listening to what he said, the Young Lady at the front desk picked up the phone on the stage and pressed the internal number, and asked a few softly.

“Sir, what is your name?”

“Jung Hyuk-jae.”

“Yes, it’s a youngster in his twenties, He said that his name is Jung Hyuk-jae.”

Jung Hyuk-jae reached out and put his hand on the desk at the front desk, and looked around the interior decoration of this office building, which belongs to the simple atmosphere. From the outside, I didn’t take my eyes off. This office building is only twenty stories high. The place where the tall building stands in the Seocho District can only be regarded as low.

“Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi? Please go up here from the elevator and press 15 layers.” The girl at the front desk of the office got up and pointed to him.

“Oh, good! Thank you.”

Get on the elevator and press 15 layers directly. According to the girl at the front desk, the Cineworld Entertainment created by Lee Joon-ik should be here. .

The office building is not too big. There are only three or four companies on the first floor. Through the transparent glass door at the entrance, Jung Hyuk-jae can clearly see the busy work inside. Just like in a war, you keep walking back and forth. Following the signs posted on the wall, Jung Hyuk-jae soon found Cineworld Entertainment.

“Is Lee Joon-ik -ssi here?”

“You are Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi? Come in, Lee Joon-ik Sunbae just went out. He hasn’t come back yet, but he told us before leaving for a while that someone is looking for him.” A man in his thirties led the way and led Jung Hyuk-jae to the company’s living room.

On the way to the meeting room, Jung Hyuk-jae took a look at the interior of the entire Cineworld Entertainment film production company. The 300-square-meter space is unobstructed. At a glance, there are almost 20 people in the past. Being busy, there are also many offices, from drama affairs to finance, these make up this film production company.

“Do you drink tea or coffee?”

“Oh, is there any water? Just give me a glass of water.”

middle-aged man After leaving, Jung Hyuk-jae sat on the sofa and took out the prepared script outline from his bag and put it on the table. A few days is not enough for Jung Hyuk-jae to complete the creation of the entire script of “The King and The Clown”. From characters to dialogue, it is enough trouble. Just don’t mention that “The King and The Clown” is a historical drama. A lot of historical facts have to be checked in the project of writing and creation. If you carefully count this outline alone, the number of words will be close to 100,000.

“Give it water!”

“Oh, thank you!”

Seeing the visitor, Jung Hyuk-jae quickly got up and took the water cup with both hands. On one side of the table.

“Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi, sit down!” The middle-aged man pointed his finger at the sofa and said in his mouth.

“Oh, haven’t you asked for your name?” Jung Hyuk-jae sat on the sofa, glanced at the middle-aged man in front of him, and asked.

“My name is Kim Myeon-joon, which is the Assistant Director of “The King and The Clown” this time.” Kim Myeon-joon said, but his eyes were on the outline of the script on the table, pointing The outline said: “Do you mind if I take a look at it first?”

“No problem.”

During the tenth generation of King Joseon, Prince Yeonsan, the tyrant King Yanshan was innocent, Corrupted officials were rampant, and the people didn’t live up to their lives. “The King and The Clown” is the story that happened in this period.

Zhang Sheng and Kong Ji are jugglers in the small bazaar, and they came to Hanyang, the capital of the capital, because of grievances with others. They performed a satirical program of Mountain Monarch and his chong concubine Zhang Lushui on the street, which was welcomed by the people.

The program they performed was accidentally discovered by the officers and soldiers, and arrested by the government in the name of disrespect to the king. When tortured, Zhang Sheng yelled at the mediocre officials, but didn’t expect them He was released because of this and was taken to perform in front of Yan Mountain Monarch.

It turned out that artists were afraid of the brutal Yan Mountain Monarch and could not let go when performing, so many people were punished for this. Yan Mountain Monarch promised them, as long as he could laugh, he let them go. The two were nervous and couldn’t make Yan Mountain Monarch laugh. In a critical moment, the gentle Kong Ji was quick witted in an emergency and showed his funny skills. , So Yan Mountain Monarch laughed.

Then, the two were left in the palace, ready to entertain Yan Mountain Monarch at any time. Kong Ji was especially loved by Yan Mountain Monarch because he looked like a woman….. .

Kim Myeon-joon didn’t read the script outline very fast with over 100,000 words. While watching carefully, he rubbed his fingers and thought, sometimes browse tightly frowns, and sometimes reveal a little bit. Smile, it looks like crazy.

Half an hour passed quickly, and Kim Myeon-joon looked up and came out of the script outline. Cautiously put the outline aside, staring at Jung Hyuk-jae in front of him with emotion. He said: “I didn’t expect time to pass so fast. I was a little worried about the script. I just read the outline of the script created by Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi. I don’t have any worries anymore!”

“Thank you!”

Kim Myeon-joon is thirty-six years old this year, almost eight years younger than his own Boss Lee Joon-ik. At first he started as a TV commercial director. Later He entered the film industry under the leadership of Lee Joon-ik, and then joined Lee Joon-ik’s Cineworld Entertainment company. This is already his sixth year in this company.

“didn’t expect Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi has been a choreographer and director at a young age. “I’m Sorry, I Love You” can be said to be the best TV series last year. “Kim Myeon-joon said quite enviously, but the expression in his eyes was not particularly obvious. It just sounded like a compliment that’s all.

This year is the sixth year that he joined Cineworld. In the past six years, he has entered a lot of production crews, large and small, but there is not much change in identity. They are collectively referred to as auxiliary directors and deputy directors. PD.

For some simple shots, such as landscapes, the director will naturally not do it. At this time, he needs to be on the stage. At the same time, he also needs to check the preparation of the shooting scene and assist the director to complete the shooting command. Until the completion of the entire movie queen period.

It seems that the force of a movie director is much higher than that of a TV series, but as an Assistant Director, he still admires Jung Hyuk-jae’s experience. After all, the director and the Assistant Director are only one word apart, but The content in charge is as different as heaven and earth.

Faced with Kim Myeon-joon’s praise, Jung Hyuk-jae had no words, just smiled.

“I don’t know what Jung Hyuk-jae-ssi thinks of the stage play “Er”?” After talking about some questions, Kim Myeon-joon turned the topic to the movie.

“When I was in college, I was close to the theater, so I watched “Er” with my classmates, but I didn’t understand it at the time, and the stage play was not special in the plot and cohesion. It’s good.” Because I watched the stage play “Er” too many times these days, Jung Hyuk-jae did not hesitate to talk about some of the problems in the play.

Kim Myeon-joon listened attentively, nodded from time to time expressing agreement, from time to time he would say a few words of his own opinion, and the inner Qi of the living room was extremely harmonious.

“Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi?”

Hearing the sound of pushing the door, Jung Hyuk-jae turned his head and glanced at the person. Although he had never met before, he I still recognize who the person is at a glance, “Lee Joon-ik Sunbae!”

“Brother, are you back?” Kim Myeon-joon also got up to greet him, and came to the door to greet him. When he came in, he turned around and went out to pour water.

“Mingjun, don’t go, sit down and let’s have a chat.”

Lee Joon-ik is sitting on the right side of the sofa, and Kim Myeon-joon is on the left. , Jung Hyuk-jae was caught in the middle of the two. This scene seemed to have several points of interrogation.

Lee Joon-ik, who was born in 1959, does not seem to be as old as his actual age. He is smiling at everybody he sees after he has passed, and he wears a pair of round-frame glasses on the bridge of his nose. , It seems a lot younger. It is not clear if it is his preference for hats. Although the temperature in Seoul has dropped a few degrees in recent days, Lee Joon-ik still wears a cap on his head, just like some hip-hop singers.

Speaking, Lee Joon-ik did not directly ask about “The King and The Clown”, but asked Jung Hyuk-jae about his first impression of his company.

Jung Hyuk-jae was stunned, and then he said: “It’s good, everyone is serious in their work, and the division of labor is very clear.”

Facing Lee Joon -ik’s sudden question, Jung Hyuk-jae’s answer after being absent did not seem so convincing. Besides, he just glanced at the door when he entered the door. How could it feel. If you have to say the feeling, there are not many women in the company.

After listening to Jung Hyuk-jae’s words, Lee Joon-ik didn’t say anything. The topic turned to the script, as if nothing happened just now.

“I just turned over a few pages of the outline. I don’t know when Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi can be created?”

“There is another month and a half.” Jung Hyuk-jae Said.

It looks like a long time, but you must know that the rigor of the movie script itself is different from that of the TV script, from the characters to the dialogue, even the scenes, the customs of that era, all of which he has to dabble in , Otherwise, there will be such a big bug in a historical movie, wouldn’t it be laughable and generous.

Of course, this time is also flexible. If there are no major problems in the creation and adaptation of the script, it may not take a month.

Lee Joon-ik is nodded. Although a month and a half is long, he still has a lot of production crew preparation work to do during this period, from equipment to manpower to the shooting location. He needs to prepare for the site survey.

Although the movie has been put on the agenda, the selection of actors has not yet begun.

“I don’t know if Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi will have time in a few weeks?” Lee Joon-ik asked aloud.

“What’s the matter?”

“The selection of actors will be scheduled in a few weeks…”
