Chapter 28: Broadcast
In South Korea, there is a strict process for filming TV dramas, and it is not immediately after the role is decided.
The general process of filming a TV series has to go through casting, script practice, joining the group, finalizing the costumes, taking promotional photos, and finally the official shooting.
After the role is determined, the main actors of the entire crew will gather at the TV station for script practice, and only after passing this level can they officially join the crew.
The so-called script practice is that the actors read the lines with the script and figure out the characters.
Through practice, the actors who play opposite each other find the rhythm of acting, run in, and lay a good foundation for future shooting. At the same time, during the practice, the director will also observe and analyze each actor's grasp of the role, find out what needs to be made up and improved, and correct the things that need to be improved before the TV series starts filming, so that the actors can better grasp the role and integrate into the role.
SBS TV, the rehearsal room of the crew of "Splendid Legacy".
After the actors introduced themselves one by one, Director Chen He stood up from his seat, clapped his hands, and made a concluding speech: "Okay, after introducing themselves, everyone has already known each other. From today onwards, we are a team, and an excellent TV series requires the joint efforts of the whole team to make a good film. I hope that in the next cooperation, our whole team can work together to create a wonderful series. Thank you. ”
After Director Chen He's concluding speech, the actors picked up the episode plots distributed in advance and began to study the script seriously.
The vast majority of Korean TV dramas are filmed-and-broadcast production models, that is, the TV drama is broadcast while the script is written for the director to shoot.
Taking a TV series of about 20 episodes as an example, before the broadcast, the screenwriter only needs to write a complete script of about four episodes and a plot synopsis of about 10 episodes to start filming, and after the broadcast, according to the original design and then integrate the audience's feedback to continue to complete the subsequent script.
Therefore, it only took half an hour for Li Zheng to memorize the five-episode script distributed to him, just to avoid being too prominent and jealous, and still practiced on the script like other actors.
The script was practiced for five days, with the actors studying alone on the first day and the second few days working with the actors.
In the drama "Splendid Heritage", the male and female protagonists and supporting roles are played by Lee Jung, Han Hyo-joo, Bae so-bin, and Moon Chae-won respectively.
After the actors introduced themselves on the first day, when they returned home, Lee Jung specially checked the details of each actor in the crew on the Internet, and asked Park Sun-ho to help improve them, so that he would not be at a loss when getting along with the actors in the same crew in the future.
Therefore, although they only got along for a few days, with their proper etiquette, humble attitude, handsome appearance, and understanding of various actors, Li Zheng quickly won the love of most of the actors in the crew.
Among the main actors, there is not much age difference between Lee Jung, Han Hyo-joo, and Moon Chae-won, and after a few days of contact, under Lee Jung's deliberate closeness, the three of them are no longer restrained in getting along.
Among the three, Moon Chae-won was born in November 1986, debuted in 2007 with "Run, Mackerel", and played the role of Lilac in the TV series "The Painter of the Wind" in 2008.
Wen Caiyuan looks dignified and has a classical temperament, but when he first got along, he seemed a little introverted and didn't talk much. Among the information he knew, Li Zheng learned that she loved painting, and deliberately led the topic to painting when chatting, and gradually became familiar with her.
Compared with the three, another important character in the play, Pei Xiubin, is much older than the three.
Bae Xiubin, formerly known as Yoon Tae-woo, was born in December 1976.
In 2001, he made his debut in **** "Exchange Tenderness", and then entered BJ Film Academy for further study on the recommendation of Wong Kar-wai; In 2002, he starred in the Chinese TV series "Proof of Memory", in 2006, he participated in the historical drama "Jumeng", which achieved a maximum rating of 51.9%, and in 2008, he participated in the costume TV series "The Painter of the Wind", so he won the 2008 SBS Acting Awards New Star Award.
Pei Xiubin has an elegant appearance and a mature and stable personality.
After learning about his experience, knowing that he had studied in China, Li Zheng specially used Chinese to talk to him, Li Zheng's correct Mandarin surprised Pei Xiubin, after chatting, learned that Li Zheng can not only proficiently use Chinese to read and write, but also English, French, German, Japanese, Spanish can also read and dialogue, which made Pei Xiubin's good impression of Li Zheng greatly increased, and Li Zheng gradually became close.
As the script practice progressed, time passed slowly, and the night before the script practice was about to end, the first TV drama role in which Li Zheng participated was officially broadcast.
…………
On February 9, at 8:50 p.m., the 11th episode of "Boys Over Flowers" will be broadcast.
Gao Yala sat cross-legged on the sofa with a bucket of popcorn on her lap, she glanced at Li Zheng, who was sitting on the sofa diagonally opposite, reading a book, and couldn't help but raise her foot and kick him lightly on his leg: "Hey, don't you feel nervous at all?"
Since Li Zheng moved next door, because he can cook good dishes, when Huang Shimu came, he would often call Gao Yala to his house for dinner, and after a few months of getting along, the two have become quite familiar, and in terms of etiquette, because of the experience of living abroad, Li Zheng does not care as much about it as ordinary Koreans, and over time, the way the two get along has become a little weird.
When outsiders are present, she will appear respectful and polite, but when there are only two of them, she will become uninhibited.
"This is your first TV drama role, don't you feel nervous at all?" Gao Yala saw that Li Zheng was only concerned about reading, and he didn't say anything, so she raised her foot and kicked him lightly.
Li Zheng put down the book helplessly, shook his head, and said with a smile: "Actually, I'm nervous. ”
Gao Yala pursed her lips: "You can still laugh when you are nervous?"
Li Zheng smiled: "It's because I'm nervous that I laugh." Just because I don't laugh doesn't mean I'm nervous, just as just because I laugh doesn't mean I'm not nervous. ”
"Huh~~, are you talking about tongue twisters?" Seeing Li Zheng's tongue twister, Gao Yala sighed softly.
Then she seemed to remember something, she put the popcorn on the sofa, leaned over and sat next to Li Zheng, as Gao Yala approached, a smell of baby powder penetrated into her nose, Li Zheng was stimulated to sneeze twice, and hurriedly raised her hand to press Gao Yala's forehead, pushing her away from herself.
"I told you, I'm allergic to baby powder. ”
"Hee-hee, sorry......"
Gao Yala grinned, sat a little farther away, clasped her right hand weakly, made an interview posture, and asked mischievously: "May I ask Li Zhengxi, what do you think of your first role, what do you think the audience will say about your performance after the broadcast?"
Seeing Gao Yala's funny appearance, Li Zheng shook his head helplessly, seeing that Gao Yala raised his eyebrows and signaled him to answer quickly, he laughed out loud, so he had to cooperate and put on a serious appearance.
"I think the audience will say...... He's so handsome!"
