Rebirth of the Director in Korea

A group of people came to the booked hotel and checked in and checked in. The two protagonist Jung Hyuk-jae and Joe Hisaishi of this trip sat on the sofa in the corner of the hotel lobby Above, there is still a person sitting next to them. This time Jung Hyuk-jae invited a junior from his school to translate. He is responsible for the entire translation work at this time.

When he sat on the sofa, Joe Hisaishi took a detailed look at the much younger-looking producer in front of him. He looked like he had just graduated from college. His face was a little green and his mouth corners. There are thin stubbles on his head quietly showing up. At first sight, you might think that he is just a big boy that’s all, but after a period of contact, you will know that this doesn’t look big. Male children are far more difficult to deal with than some Old Fox.

Before coming to South Korea, Joe Hisaishi also inquired about some information, and according to what he learned, Jung Hyuk-jae is not only the producer of the movie “Welcome to Dongmakgol”, but also the film’s producer. One of the investors and beneficiaries.

As a film with a budget cost of four to 1 billion, a completely personal investment is much more powerful than that of a film production company. After all, if you don’t have absolute confidence in film retention, you definitely won’t. Even the well-known international director Cameron and the others will not do it by themselves, but Park Kwang-hyun and Jung Hyuk-jae did it. I don’t know if they are really big-hearted. Still stupid…

One of the reasons that prompted Joe Hisaishi to make up his mind to collaborate with “Welcome to Dongmakgol” is naturally its excellent script, and another reason is written by Jung Hyuk-jae That email, sincere and sincere, after reading the email and the script, Joe Hisaishi made up his mind to take over the background music creation of this movie.

“Jung-kun, I have read the script of “Welcome to Dongmakgol”. How are you going to shoot the film in terms of the rhythm?” Joe Hisaishi asked.

Jung Hyuk-jae has discussed this issue with Park Kwang-hyun before, but Jung Hyuk-jae is only responsible for making comments. As for the film director’s Park Kwang-hyun, it’s another question. It’s going to happen.

Park Kwang-hyun, who is the director of Production crew in the movie Production crew, is the boss of Production crew. This is the same as a TV series. No director will tolerate someone pointing his finger on his head, even if this person is an investment in the movie. The same goes for people and producers. He may not speak, but he will definitely curse in his heart.

The director’s identity is the same as the coach of the football team. He must maintain the absolute leadership of the team on the field. If there are superstars in the team, he has to hold himself or he will leave. Don’t leave by yourself. Different opinions can be raised in the lounge in private, but in the production crew, Park Kwang-hyun must be the main one.

Jung Hyuk-jae, who is also the director, understands Park Kwang-hyun’s mood well, and finally takes control of the camera lens again. He must miss the feeling when he made the movie.

Of course Jung Hyuk-jae also knows what he should do, he is only responsible for giving advice. It is precisely because of Jung Hyuk-jae’s this attitude that Park Kwang-hyun and Jung Hyuk-jae still get along very well during the production crew. The age difference is not too big, and they are both directors. When sitting and drinking together, they will always find the same language. If the time spent together is longer, the two will not have the chance to become friends.

After sorting out his own language, Jung Hyuk-jae said: “Joe Hisaishi -ssi, the rhythm can be slowed down appropriately in front of the movie, and the corresponding background music is also the same. If possible I hope that the background music of the film can reveal more stories and can be linked to the film.”

After listening to Jung Hyuk-jae’s words, Joe Hisaishi gave an’um’, then lowered his head and fell into In the midst of contemplation, the bright door of the brain was shining under the light. Perhaps this is his way of thinking. It may seem funny, but Jung Hyuk-jae looks a little nervous because he knows the background. Music is so important for a movie, which is why he found Joe Hisaishi from Japan not far from Ten Thousand Li after Park Kwang-hyun denied all the composing companies.

Movie music is an important part of the movie, it is the interpretation link to the movie, a good movie music plays a vital role in the whole movie. Usually a movie will be contrasted by multiple pieces of music to better set off the content that the movie needs to express.

Because the film is a comprehensive art, from the analysis of the film itself, it integrates literature, drama, photography, art, music… It is young, has a life force, and is an art form of everyone’s attractive spectacle. Movies have characteristics such as vividness, vividness, and richness. These characteristics determine that it can express concrete and profound thought content. This happens to complement each other with the abstractness of music, and the combination of the two complements each other.

If the actor’s words are the “first line” in the movie, then the music is the “second line” of the movie, because the appearance of music is often accompanied by grand scenes or major events. , And the psychological aspects of the characters in the film are more than those things that cannot be described in words. Among them, the movie music played a clever role of explanation. To make the viewer or the emotions excited, overwhelmed by emotions, or the heart hanging by a thread, tension suffocating, the wonderful soundtrack can be described as the finishing touch in the movie.

Why horror films make the heart pull together, and the sweaty body stands still. In addition to the visual shock of the grotesquely shaped or bloody scenes in the movie, the music also reflects the horror of the movie An important carrier of If you don’t believe me, you can turn off the music and watch a horror movie, and you’ll feel the difference right away.

As early as in the age of silent movies, every movie theater would have a pianist or a band, who was responsible for playing a specially written score or a hint explicitly provided by the film company, with audio as the accompaniment to the picture. As Lee R. Popeke said: “From the moment the first note was struck on a crappy piano to accompany silent films, music has always been a faithful companion to film images.” Even the early silent films in film history have Music is inseparable, and it shows its importance.

Movie music and movie songs are an important organic part of movies and a new genre of music art. Any film is not reality itself on the aesthetic level, it is a sense of reality, after all, it is not a work on the sociological level. Movie music and movie songs can highlight the lyricism, drama and atmosphere of the film. Film music has always played a subtle role in film performances. Music, like other sister art, can express what people desire in life; at the same time, it can vividly and thoroughly express human emotions such as human emotions; in addition, it has a strong The infectious power is an indispensable means to inspire fighting spirit and create a better life.

In film art, many grand scenes, with appropriate imposing manner and majestic music or dubbing, can play the role that language can’t play; the characters in the movie Mental state, inner activity or performance of unexpected events, tension, horror, intense scenes, or depiction of scenes, or enhanced rendering of plots such as joys and sorrows in the film, etc., for all of the above, the film music plays a huge role Positive, positive and indispensable role.

It is precisely because of the particularity of movie music that Jung Hyuk-jae is very concerned about this. When he emailed Joe Hisaishi back then, he agreed to talk about if. Not coming down to fly directly to Japan’s plan, fortunately Joe Hisaishi happily agreed after reading the script, but Jung Hyuk-jae’s many concerns were lost.

“At first in the film, a wide-angle lens is used to shoot the scenery of the mountain village. When the time comes, the soft and soothing music will be used when these lenses are needed. It can be said that in the first time, a combination like them is until Now is the best substitute in everyone’s mind.”

Movie music has the advantage of being blessed by heaven in expressing emotions and promoting the development of the plot. “When the language cannot be reached, the music will appear.” .

Modern film music has appropriately set off and supplemented the film’s picture. The successful EXP in well matching the film’s plot and shaping the characters, etc., requires us to summarize and learn from. The development process of film music is a process of continuous innovation and adventure. In the process of film music development, the style displayed in each period is a noteworthy feature. Each period also constitutes the continuation of the film music itself. It is the constantly changing and enriching life force of the movie music itself.

Music is an indispensable artistic language in movies. Through music, the audience’s vision and hearing can be combined to deepen the film’s sensory stimulation and soul shock, so that the audience can have a deeper understanding of the information that the film wants to convey, thereby helping the audience to better understand the connotation of the film. To achieve these effects, you must be good at using various musical elements: instruments, melody, rhythm and vocals, etc., in order to contribute to the plot of the movie.

Joe Hisaishi showed his thoughts for a while, and was about to speak to answer Jung Hyuk-jae’s questions, but a staff member of his own company came to Jung Hyuk-jae’s side and bent down gently In Jung Hyuk-jae’s ear, he said, “President, a lot of your news has suddenly appeared on the Internet. Do you need to talk to newspapers and magazines to delete these articles? Eliminate the impact?”

The male staff member who does not look big said with a serious face. Because as the filming work started, Jung Hyuk-jae recruited two more assistants for his company. Usually, they mainly help him with some work and life chores, so that Jung Hyuk-jae can naturally. In sleep.

After listening to the staff, Jung Hyuk-jae looked at the staff around him strangely, and then asked curiously: “What is the news?”

Jung Hyuk-jae asked. The staff took out their mobile phone and showed Jung Hyuk-jae a glance. They saw news about themselves in the mobile phone they had. It was nothing more than a rich second generation. Such kind of report, this kind of news report has no technical content at all.

Although it is said that, the person who broke the news has some real information in his hands. From the other side of the artist, he has learned about the idiosyncrasies of many artists. This is a bit out of Jung Hyuk- jae’s surprise.

“In addition, there are many media who want to conduct an interview with you. Their producer lost like this. The content of the interview is about you, the president!”

this time Jung Hyuk-jae’s first reaction was not rejected when he heard the words of his subordinates. He put down the mobile phone in his hand and thought for a while, and then nodded and said: “You go and inform the various media and reporters. I am today I plan to hold a press conference here. After you have notified, you will also talk to the liquor store in advance. The venue layout and everything should be arranged as soon as possible. If there are not enough staff, you can ask the hotel staff for help.!”

Sit up On the sofa, Joe Hisaishi stared at Jung Hyuk-jae in front of him. He just said to himself for a while. If there is a media interview, he needs to cooperate with him to promote the movie.

If you have the identity of Joe Hisaishi’s soundtrack master, you don’t need it.

In fact, Jung Hyuk-jae also had his own careful thoughts when he came to the development of the conference this time. The search rate of Jung Hyuk-jae on Naver has always been high.

Journalists are holding back their energy and want to interview themselves, while netizens want to experience all kinds of experience life in the movie by themselves. Jung Hyuk-jae does not think so, even though his body Wearing a close-fitting suit, but his mind has been on the promotion of the movie.

If a movie is divided according to the important process, and the shooting process accounts for almost one-half of the entire movie, then half of the remaining half should be advertised and distributed to occupied.

One-fifth to one third of the total production cost of a generally speaking film will be used as the promotional cost of the film. Generally speaking, movie announcements are no different from daily product promotion, and the money is spread on the channels.

How to let most people know about a movie?

The popular promotion channels used by film production companies include traditional media, new media, various platforms, and landing activities. To put it bluntly, all the carriers attached to the traffic, the movie promotion will not be missed! Flow = value, then you can imagine where the money will be spent.

Film announcements are actually equivalent to general product promotion, so the place where money is spent is similar to the promotion of products. The difference from real products is that 80% of movie announcements have no physical objects. Lies in labor costs.

Movies and media are not separated. Therefore, the main battlefield for movie announcements is still in the media.

The premise of any channel delivery is materials. General publicity drafts, film critic specials, stills, pilot posters, ultimate posters, pilot trailers, ultimate trailers, production specials, viral videos, etc., operated by different companies and different people, and the prices are different.

In fact, these things should have been considered by the distribution company of the final film, but it was just a coincidence that this time Jung Hyuk-jae was supposed to preheat the film in advance.
