Rebirth of the Director in Korea

“Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi, let’s meet again!” Kim Jae-yeol smiled and stretched out his hand.

Jung Hyuk-jae paused, and then he hurriedly stepped forward and shook hands with Kim Jae-yeol, “Yeah, I met again. I thought it was the last time I came to MBC last time.”

After listening to his words, Kim Jae-yeol Haha smiled, “How can it be that Jung Hyuk-jae-ssi wants to come to MBC in the future, anytime!” He said, pointing to the sofa to make Jung Hyuk- Jae sat down, sat beside him, and ordered the secretary to pour the water.

Jung Hyuk-jae bent over and sat down and glanced at Kim Jae-yeol. He couldn’t tell from his face what medicine he bought in the gourd. Kim Jae-yeol did not speak, and Jung Hyuk-jae was treated as if he hadn’t noticed. At this time, it is more patience. If anyone speaks first, whoever loses.

When it comes to who is more anxious to be two people, Kim Jae-yeol is definitely the first. Not to mention the PDs who went on strike outside MBCTV Station, even the recent TV series ratings are enough for him to have a headache, especially “Sad Love Story”, which cost seven to 1 billion but did not get the ratings at all. In contrast, KBS has received nearly 30% of the ratings with three 1.5 billion investment. This comparison shows how miserable MBCTV Station has lost in ratings.

“Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi, drink tea, drink tea!”

“Oh, thank you!”

Kim Jae-yeol picks up the teacup and sips After taking a sip, I asked Jung Hyuk-jae: “This is the Longjing tea my friend brought from China. I don’t know how Jung Hyuk-jae-ssi is drinking?”

Jung Hyuk-jae then It’s laughed, shook the head, “I don’t usually drink much tea, and I don’t know whether it’s good or bad. It’s costing Chief Kim.”

“Where, where! Tea, isn’t it just for drinking.”

Is it? Just quench your thirst.” Kim Jae-yeol smiled refreshingly, with a very enthusiastic attitude.

Looking at Kim Jae-yeol’s sudden change of attitude towards him, Jung Hyuk-jae has already had a deep understanding in his heart, and this time the cooperation document. Thinking of this, Jung Hyuk-jae laughed from the bottom of his heart, and his expression became more relaxed afterwards.

Kim Jae-yeol doesn’t speak, Jung Hyuk-jae never mentions cooperation, but she also knows that she can’t hang on his appetite for too long. You must know that although most recently MBCTV Station is a Japanese or Japanese drama Well, Water-Wood Drama, the ratings are very worrying, but everyone knows the truth of’a dying, starved camel is still bigger than a horse’. As long as there is a broadcasting platform, as long as the MBCTV Station is released, I believe that there are not a few people willing to cooperate.

“I heard that Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi did not graduate from the director department?”

Hearing Kim Jae-yeol’s inquiry, Jung Hyuk-jae was not surprised Kim Jae Why did -yeol know his own information? After thinking for a while, he replied: “Yes, my major is sociology.”

“Yonsei University? Bong Joon-woo -ssi is not also this school Did you mention Yonsei University? Kim Jae-yeol seemed to think of something. The previous year’s “Memories of Murder” caused a sensation. It was based on the 6 years from 1986 to 1991, which took place in “Memories of Murder” adapted from 10 real murders in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea.

With its thrilling and suspenseful story structure and content, not only has it achieved huge success at the box office, but also the director Bong Joon-woo, who debuted with “Barking Dogs Never Bite” in 2000. The 16th Tokyo Film Festival Best Asian Film Award, the 40th Grand Bell Award for Best Director, the 51st San Bastion International Film Festival New Director Award and FIPRESCI Award, and Busan Film Critics Association Best Screenplay Award , And the 2nd South Korea Film Awards for Best Director and many other awards.

“Yes.” Jung Hyuk-jae replied softly, without excessive words.

“I heard that Bong Joon-woo-ssi is not a student of director major?” Kim Jae-yeol didn’t know if he was really unclear, or pretending to know nothing, he asked in confusion.

“Bong Joon-woo Sunbae is an 8Level 8 student in the Department of Sociology.”

“putting it that way, and you are a professional?” It seems that I have found a way to convince myself Reason, Kim Jae-yeol said with emotion, “Didn’t expect Yonsei University has many directors. Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi is definitely the most promising young director in TV dramas I have ever seen.”

The topic is over, Kim Jae-yeol called in his secretary for a glass of water, he got up and took a thick script from his desk and placed it in front of Jung Hyuk-jae.

“Actually, Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi already guessed the purpose of my calling you this time, right?”

The two chatted for more than 20 minutes, Kim Jae -yeol finally turned to the topic. Jung Hyuk-jae thought he had prepared the script as a bargaining chip. Didn’t expect Kim Jae-yeol prepared himself the script for filming early and took over the thick script. Jung Hyuk-jae scanned the name on the cover of his eye, his eyelids jumped.

How he didn’t expect it to be this one.

“Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi, you should take a look at the script first.”

Jung Hyuk-jae turned to the first page of the script and looked at it seriously.

……………………………….

“Chief Han, you didn’t say that before. We at Ga-in not only pushed a lot of itineraries for this TV series, commercial performances, catwalks, these MBCTV Stations have to give an explanation, right?”

“I have explained to you, these are not things that I can decide by myself. You can take a look at the PDs who went on strike at the door for yourself. It has been a week. The station is bowing and paying compensation. In fact, it is not only This TV series, the TV series that is currently on the air, are about to stop, you let me find someone to make sense!”

Deputy Director Han of MBC TV Drama Production Bureau explained the anger in his heart and explained to her again. .

Seeing the Chief Han on the opposite side, there is a tendency to get angry, Hong Su-jin hurriedly stepped forward and explained, “Chief Han, I didn’t mean that.”

“Then what are you What do you mean? It’s the first time this week. Chief Kim is always doing the related matters for Production Crew. How can the director start shooting when the director is not there? Think about it!” Chief Han knocked on the table and stared at the person in front of him. Fat manager, explained word by word.

“Chief Han, you calm down, blame me for not speaking!” After saying that, Hong Su-jin reached out and slapped himself, then smiled and asked, “Actually, Chief Han is In this way, take a look, we Ga-in finally got the part of a heroine, this TV series said that if we don’t make it, we won’t film it, and it’s very difficult for us to do it.”

“It’s hard for you. It’s not difficult for me to do it?”

“Yes, yes, it’s all difficult, it’s all difficult!” Hong Su-jin said with a smile, “Chief Han, you give me a quasi-letter Hey, when will this TV series start filming, we have a plan in our hearts? Don’t you say it?” Hong Su-jin said softly, and Chief Han also disappeared from the bottom of his heart. After getting angry, said solemnly: “There is no specific news in this station. I will tell you in advance when there is a notice.”

“Our heroine of Ga-in, you see?” Hong Su-jin hurriedly asked.

“Surely you can’t run, don’t you worry now?” Chief Han answered.

“Then I can rest assured, Chief Han, thank you!” Hong Su-jin said with a trembling, fat smile.

“If it’s okay, you can go back.”

“Okay, no problem! Then, Chief Han, I will leave first.” With that, Hong Su-jin is ready to go. Turning to leave, a phone call broke the silence in the room.

Chief Han answered the phone, “Chief Kim, what did you say?”

“Oh, okay! The manager of Han Ga-in -ssi is here. Don’t need us to go there?”

“Okay, let’s go!”

Hong Su-jin’s original departure stopped because of Chief Han’s words, his eyes Staring at him closely, it is hard to hide the excitement in my heart.

“Hong Su-jin -ssi, you will come to Chief Kim’s office with me in a while. The new director of “Super Rookie” has been confirmed, and the TV series will start filming on another day. Then you can rest assured Right.”

“Okay!” Hong Su-jin replied, feeling excited just want to send the good news back to the company immediately.

……………………………………….. …..

“The expected investment of “Super Rookie” is 3.8 billion Korean Won. MBC supports it in manpower, material resources, and publicity. Your investment of 1.9 billion Korean Won accounts for the total domestic revenue. 35%.”

Kim Jae-yeol put the contract on the table, staring at Jung Hyuk-jae and said.

“No way, no way!”

After listening to Kim Jae-yeol’s conditions, Jung Hyuk-jae shook his head, “Chief Kim, let’s not talk secretly, you too Knowing the current predicament of MBCTV Station, I think even if there is a director to take over, I have to bear a lot of risk, right? I don’t need a cent for the director’s fee, but I have to account for half of the total domestic revenue.”

“Half is not good!” Kim Jae-yeol, Jung Hyuk-jae’s lion’s big password, shook his head. He didn’t think that he was young in front of him, but his appetite was not small, so he bit 50% of his mouth tightly.

“Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi, you have to be clear that I will release the news of the TV series start, but there will be many film and television companies rushing to cooperate.”

In Jung Hyuk-jae’s view, Kim Jae-yeol’s “threat” does not have much deterrence. The main reason for him to eat and live is the current scarcity of directors at MBCTV Station.

Jung Hyuk-jae laughed, “I know MBCrich and imposing, there is definitely no shortage of young backup directors, but since I dare to invest, then I am not afraid of losing my investment!”

Kim Jae-yeol thought about it for a while, and then reopened the mouth and said: “40% of the total domestic income cannot be higher.”

“45%!”

“40%!”

“45%!”

“40%!”……

Kim Jae-yeol is dead Biting 40% and not letting go, Jung Hyuk-jae stopped asking questions at the right time. Instead, he started talking about foreign income. “The ratings are over 20%, the foreign income is 37, the ratings are 25%, the foreign income is 46, the ratings Over 30%, the total foreign income is divided equally!”

After listening to what Jung Hyuk-jae said, Kim Jae-yeol originally wanted to refute, but later thought that “Sad Love Story” would never break 20 % Of the miserable ratings, the ghosts and gods also accepted nodded.

“ka ka!”

I heard someone knock on the door, Kim Jae-yeol complied, “Please come in!”

“Chief Kim, Han Ga-in’s Agent is here.”

Seeing the person coming, Kim Jae-yeol got up and introduced Jung Hyuk-jae next to him.

“Let me introduce to you, this is the new director of “Super Rookie”, Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi!”

Hong Su-jin looks at Jung in front of him Hyuk-jae, a little bit unbelievable with his eyes, opened his mouth in surprise and froze in a daze. How could the new director be him? How could it be him?

‘This is terrible! ‘This is the last thought in Hong Su-jin’s mind.
