Rebirth of the Director in Korea

On the night when I came to Gangwon-do, Jung Hyuk-jae invited all the members of Production crew to have a meal as a producer, and he was in a restaurant in the vicinity , Because there are as many as the production crew of the 100th National People’s Congress, the interior of the hotel is a bit too small, and finally the tables are moved outside before they are all sat down.

Before the meal, Jung Hyuk-jae said a few words, it was nothing more than to encourage everyone to continue working hard for the next filming work. Everyone also kept applauding and cheering for the face.

Because the filming will continue tomorrow, so there is no wine for this meal in the evening. Everyone eats food and drinks, and the atmosphere is no worse than when drinking. After eating, Park Kwang-hyun asked the big guys to go back to rest early. Recently, they have been busy working overtime and filming. The big guys in Production crew are actually quite tired.

Production crew members have all gone to rest. Park Kwang-hyun, the director, can’t rest. For tomorrow’s shooting, he also returned to his room early and began to organize tomorrow’s shooting plan. Come.

Just ten minutes after returning to the house, he heard someone knocking on his door, “Who?”

Hearing the movement outside, Park Kwang-hyun got up and went to the door, and looked out through the cat’s eyes. It turned out that it was Jung Hyuk-jae who was here. He opened the door as soon as he saw someone coming, and greeted Jung Hyuk-jae in with a smile.

“Hyuk-jae-ssi, why haven’t you rested so late?” Park Kwang-hyun asked with a smile when he looked at the visitor, and took Jung Hyuk-jae on his hands. Wine and vegetables on hand.

“Knowing that you didn’t drink well at night, I bought two bottles of wine. Let’s drink together for a while!”

“Haha, or Hyuk-jae -ssi knows me!”

There is no small wine table in the room, so Park Kwang-hyun moved a chair to put the wine and vegetables on it, and the two sat on the sofa while drinking and chatting. Heaven comes.

“Recently, the shooting went well, right?” After the two clinked and drank a few glasses, Jung Hyuk-jae took the lead in asking.

“It’s okay, compared to the moment when the filming started, the production crew members are almost the same!” Park Kwang-hyun took a few sips before putting down the glass and replied.

The establishment of a new Production crew, the members are more or less unaware of each other. At this time, the director is needed to act as a lubricant to connect the work of the various departments of Production crew together. , And finally complete the required scheduled shooting content.

In two months, no matter how to calculate this time, the big guys in Production crew should be almost running in.

“Has the rough cut of the film come out?” Jung Hyuk-jae asked.

Although there is still a part of the story content that has not had time to film, the rough story frame can be edited. Finally, the last part of the filming content of this part is re-edited inside, and it is almost complete. Editing of the film.

“The rough cut version is already available, but because this part of the plot is still too late to film, the coherence of the plot is still worse in some places.” Hearing Jung Hyuk-jae’s words, Park Kwang-hyun nodded subsequently replied.

“May I take a look first?”

“Yes, no problem!”

Speaking, Park Kwang-hyun got up and came to the door , I opened the door and walked out, and the rough cut film was placed in the safe Ne of Production crew editing studio. No wonder it was so careful. It was not unheard of the theft of rough cut tape in some previous films of Production crew, or There were incidents where the tapes of the films were leaked before they were released, and there were also some unfathomable mystery fire incidents.

Since then, all production crews have paid special attention to the mastering tape, minimizing the chance of someone coming into contact with the tape, and a fire-proof and anti-theft safe is a must-have for the production crew.

When I came to the editing studio at the shooting site, Park Kwang-hyun talked to the staff who was on duty at night today and opened the safe.

Jung Hyuk-jae couldn’t help but frowned just after the master tape was released. It was not that the film was not well edited, but that the characters and the plot were somewhat separated without background music. It happened. Although this can be corrected by re-editing in the later stage, the background music should take advantage of this time to find a soundtrack company to do it.

“When are you going to prepare the soundtrack for the movie?” Jung Hyuk-jae suddenly spoke to Park Kwang-hyun.

As soon as Jung Hyuk-jae said this, Park Kwang-hyun couldn’t help but frowned. The expression was very tangled and seemed a bit embarrassed. “In fact, I I have already found a family in China to make a short piece of music…”

Jung Hyuk-jae nodded, looked towards Park Kwang-hyun, and then asked: “What then? “

“Then I think the effect is not particularly ideal!” Park Kwang-hyun sorted out the language, which was replied, with a look of helplessness and entanglement.

As the first feature-length film that has gathered his many years of hard work, Park Kwang-hyun naturally hopes that all aspects of his film are perfect and without blemish. If you don’t care about the soundtrack, just add a paragraph. Music, from his point of view, is that this hurdle in my heart has passed.

In terms of the soundtrack, Park Kwang-hyun first looked for a domestic Livetone audio-visual effect company. Although it is known as the audio-visual audio company with the most advanced equipment in South Korea, Park Kwang-hyun is very important to their company. I’m not very satisfied with the soundtrack I created.

The only thing he thinks is not bad is the roar and bombing of planes, the explosion of grenade, gunfire in the film, and the onomatopoeia in these films. Park Kwang-hyun still has to admit at this point. Livetone does a pretty good job.

Listening to Park Kwang-hyun, Jung Hyuk-jae is somewhat nodded. Although there are many soundtracks in China, it is still worse than foreign ones when it comes to quality, because most of these companies are established The time is not too early, and the material and understanding of film soundtrack is far inferior to some senior foreign companies.

But understanding is understanding, but the movie editing is indeed real and can’t wait. A two-hour movie is also a huge amount of engineering in terms of the soundtrack. If you don’t hurry to get the soundtrack , Then it is difficult to say that it can catch up with the August schedule.

While watching the rough cut master tape of the movie, Park Kwang-hyun felt worried at the bottom of his heart. When he thinks about the soundtrack, he feels quite annoying. The key point is that it’s useless to be scorched. In terms of the soundtrack, even if you are a director, you can’t help much at all. That is to say, talk to the teacher of the soundtrack about the effect of the film you want to see, and the final soundtrack is presented. The result is actually in the hands of the teacher.

…………………………………

It was already past 11 o’clock in the evening when I came out of the editing studio. The very quiet and exhausted staff of the Production crew had already fallen asleep early, including Park Kwang-hyun and The two of Jung Hyuk-jae have arrived here and haven’t slept yet.

Because of time, I spent more than two hours watching the rough cut master tape. By now I only saw less than half of it. It is nearly four hours longer than the official version. This is a normal situation. The extra plot and content must be deleted when the final edit is made.

When filming, it is naturally for the continuity and causality of the plot, but when it is finally shown on the screen, the audience will not follow the plot to find the potential cause and effect, as long as there is no logical If the mistake is too big, the audience can watch it carefully. Of course, the premise is that the plot must be good-looking. At this time, a director’s editing skills need to be tested.

If the quality of the film occupies 40% at the time of shooting, then the editing must account for at least 30%, and the other 30% needs to be allocated to the actors’ acting and soundtrack, etc.

Returning to his room, Jung Hyuk-jae did not lie down directly on the bed. Instead, he opened the laptop that he brought with him and connected to the hotel’s wifi, and took out his cell phone by the way. I made a call at Junior Brother of Yonsei University.

Although it is already eleven o’clock in the evening, according to the memory in my own impression, my Junior Brother is the one who doesn’t sleep until early in the morning, and often during the day. Reversing the shift at night.

Jung Hyuk-jae made the call and it was connected, but no one answered it. A busy tone came from the microphone.

‘Maybe where is this guy playing? Let’s call him again later! ‘

Jung Hyuk-jae thought to himself, so he put the phone aside, sat in front of the notebook, opened the word that came with the computer and started typing.

Less than a minute after sitting down, my phone rang, and I looked at the caller ID, and it was him. Jung Hyuk-jae smiled and pressed the answer button, “Se Yoon Ah, where is it?”

“Brother Hyuk-jae, I’m in a bar right now. I was too messy to hear your call!” The male voice named Se Yoon replied.

Hearing his explanation like this, it is quite in line with his usual style. From time to time, he can hear music from the bar in the earpiece. It is estimated that he is making a call in the bathroom right now?

The boy named Se Yoon, whose surname is Liu, is Junior Brother two years younger than Jung Hyuk-jae. Because they are in the same major, they met each other in a competition in the department, because they have the same hobby. Both like to watch movies. The two people who made the movie met in this way, and their relationship at the school was pretty good. Later, under the recommendation of Jung Hyuk-jae, Yoo Se-yoon also joined the school’s movie club.

“Brother Hyuk-jae, is there anything wrong with you?”

Jung Hyuk-jae thought of this, and said in his mouth the purpose of this call. Come, “Yoo Se-yoon, it’s such a situation. I’ll send you two documents in a while. You can find a student from the Academy’s Japanese language department in our school and ask him to help me translate it. If the fee is charged, I’ll let you know. I’ll call you into your bank card.”

Listening to Jung Hyuk-jae’s words, Yoo Se-yoon on the other end waved his hand and said, “Brother, isn’t it just this little busy? Where do I need you to pay? I will have everything if you ask him to have a meal!”

“That’s not good. The meal is for the meal. The translation fee is still to be paid, otherwise, what would it look like? !” Jung Hyuk-jae explained, “I only have one request. The translation must be accurate. I don’t need to find people who are scumbags. I have this thing urgently. I better hand it over tomorrow morning!”

“Don’t worry about the cost. I will call you two million. If it is not enough, you will tell me!”

Yoo Se-yoon will know Jung when he hears this. Hyuk-jae was very anxious and replied: “Two million is enough, I will go back to find a few classmates, let them work overtime to translate!”

“Eh, that’s OK, for a while I will send the document to you, and pay attention to receiving it.” Before hanging up, Jung Hyuk-jae warned repeatedly.

“Okay, no problem!”

……………………….. …….

Hung up the phone, Yoo Se-yoon came out of the bathroom, because he just occupied a position in the bathroom, the door There was already a long queue outside, and seeing someone finally came out, everyone couldn’t help showing a smile of relief.

After washing his hands a little, Yoo Se-yoon returned to his seat. The classmates who came out this time were drinking wine, chatting and bragging, seeing Yoo Se -yoon finally came back and greeted him immediately.

“Shiyun, come! You know you brat is an excuse to go to the bathroom. Don’t think that you can escape the punishment of drinking alcohol!” A classmate picked up the wine glass on the table and handed it directly to her In front of.

“Yeah! Don’t you know my alcohol volume, do I need to use urine to escape this move?” Then, Yoo Se-yoon took the wine glass from the classmate and took the wine in the glass. He drank it, but the color of his face didn’t change at all.

“Okay, okay! That’s how it should be!”

Seeing Yoo Se-yoon’s domineering drink, everyone present clapped and urged him to have another drink. .

“No, no! I have something to go back to school in a while!” Yoo Se-yoon hurriedly shook his head and refused.

“What’s the important thing! If your girlfriend tells you to go back, you just say it’s fine to be outside!”

Listening to a few classmates, it’s not enough Yoo Se-yoon is busy hooking the head, “Not this time, Brother Hyuk-jae called me just now, am I going to go back to the Japanese department?”

“Japanese department ?”

Yoo Se-yoon nodded, “Brother Hyuk-jae seems to have something to translate, this doesn’t make the call to my mobile phone.”

, Yoo Se-yoon’s mobile phone text message prompt sounded suddenly, Yoo Se-yoon took out his mobile phone and glanced at the text message content, “Your bank account ********** was at 11:57 today Transfer-in amount: two million yuan…’

The money has already arrived, Yoo Se-yoon is naturally embarrassed not to go, and after a few apologies with a few classmates, Yoo Se-yoon went back to school in the dark, found the phone numbers of a few Japanese classmates, and called.

After twelve o’clock, an email was sent to his computer, he opened the email and downloaded two of the attachments, Yoo Se-yoon pressed his curiosity and opened it. Read the document.

“”Welcome to Dongmakgol”? Is this a script?”

Feel free to look through the script, this is not a complete script, but can be regarded as a summary So, although it’s a general outline, it’s amazing enough in terms of workload.

“What is this again?”

Yoo Se-yoon opened another document, and a familiar name suddenly popped in front of him.

‘Dear Mr. Hisaishi:

Hello! ……’
