"Hello, I'm looking for Li Junyixi."

A low-rise office building in Seocho-gu, Seoul, Jung Hyuk-jae came to find Lee Jun-ik, the founder of Cineworld Entertainment Film Production Company.

"Please wait a minute!" After listening to what he said, the lady at the front desk picked up the phone on the desk and pressed the internal number, and asked a few times softly.

"What is your name, sir?"

"Jung Hyuk-jae."

"Yes, it's a young man in his twenties, and he said his name is Jung Hyuk-jae."

Zheng Hyukzai stretched out his hand on the table at the front desk, and swept his eyes around the interior decoration of this office building, which belongs to the kind of very simple atmosphere, which is not picked up from the outside, this office building is more than 20 stories high, and it can only be regarded as short in the place where the high-rise building stands in Seocho District.

"Jung Hyuk Jae? Please go up from the elevator here and press down on the fifteenth floor. The girl at the front desk of the office building got up and pointed out a clear way for him.

"Oh good! Thank you. ”

took the elevator and pressed directly to the fifteenth floor, according to the girl at the front desk, the cineworldentertainment founded by Li Junyi should be here.

The office building is not large, there are only three or four companies on the first floor, and through the transparent glass door at the door, Zheng Hyukjae can clearly see the busy work inside, and all the white-collar workers are like fighting, walking back and forth non-stop. Following the signs posted on the wall, Jung Hyuk-jae soon found Cineworld Entertainment.

"Is Lee Jun Yi here?"

"You're Jung Hyuk Jae, right? Please come in, Senior Li Junyi just went out and hasn't come back yet, but he told us a little before leaving, and someone came to look for him. A man in his thirties led the way in front 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 CineworldEntertainment film production company, and the space of more than 300 square meters was unobstructed, and at a glance, there were almost 20 people busy, in addition to a number of offices, from drama affairs to finance, which made up this film production company.

"Would you rather drink tea or coffee?"

"Oh, is there water? Just bring me a glass of water. ”

The middle-aged man left, and 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 time for Jung Hyuk-jae to complete the creation of the entire script of "The King's Man", from the characters to the dialogue, it is enough to bother, not to mention that "The King's Man" is a historical drama, and there are a lot of historical facts to be checked in the preparation and creation of the project, if you carefully calculate this outline, then the number of words is nearly 100,000 words.

"Give water!"

"Oh, thank you!"

Seeing the visitor, Zheng Hyukzai hurriedly got up, took the water cup with both hands and put it on the table on the side.

"Jung Hyuk Jae, sit down!" The middle-aged man stretched out his hand and pointed to the sofa next to him, and said.

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

"My name is Kim Myung-joon, and I am the assistant director of "The King's Man" this time." Jin Mingjun said, but his eyes saw the outline of the script on the table, pointed to the outline and said, "Don't mind if I read this first, right?" ”

"No problem."

During the period of the tenth king of North Korea, the tyrant King Yanshan was mediocre, resulting in corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the people were miserable, and "The King's Man" is a story that happened during this period.

Zhang Sheng and Kong Ji are jugglers in a small market who came to the capital Hanyang because of a grudge with someone. Their street performances satirizing Yan Shanjun and his favorite concubine Zhang Lushui were well received by the people.

When they were tortured, Zhang Sheng loudly reprimanded the mediocre officials, but he did not expect them to be released and taken to perform in front of Yan Shanjun.

It turned out that the artists were afraid of the brutal Yan Shanjun and couldn't let go of it during the performance, so many people were punished for it. Yan Shanjun promised them that as long as he could laugh, he would let them go, and the two of them couldn't make Yan Shanjun laugh because they were nervous.

Subsequently, the two were left in the palace, ready to entertain Yan Shanjun at any time, and Kong Ji was especially favored by Yan Shanjun because he looked like a woman

The outline of the script of more than 100,000 words, Jin Mingjun didn't read it very fast, and while looking at it carefully, he rubbed his fingers and thought about it from time to time, sometimes frowning, sometimes showing a little smile, looking like crazy.

Half an hour passed quickly, and Kim Myung-jun raised his head and came out of the script outline, carefully put the outline aside, staring at Zheng Hyuk-jae in front of him and said with emotion: "I didn't expect time to pass so quickly, I was still a little worried about the script, but I just read the script outline created by Jung Hyuk-jae, and I don't worry at all!" ”

"Thank you!"

Kim Myung-joon is Chinese New Year's Eve, almost eight years younger than his boss Lee Jun-ik, and he first started as a TV commercial director, and later entered the film industry under the leadership of Lee Jun-ik, and then joined Lee Jun-ik's cineworld entertainment, which is his sixth year in this company.

"I didn't expect Jung Hyuk Jae to be a writer and director at a young age, "I'm Sorry, I Love You" can be said to be the best TV series last year." Jin Mingjun said with envy, but the eyes were not particularly obvious, and it sounded like just a compliment.

This year is his sixth year to join cineworld, and he has joined many crews in the past six years, big and small, but his identity has not changed much, collectively referred to as assistant director and deputy PD.

For some simple shots, such as landscapes, the director will naturally not do it, and this is when he needs to appear on the stage, and at the same time, he also has to check the preparation of the shooting scene, and assist the director to complete the work of shooting and directing, until the production of the whole film is completed.

It seems that the film director's compulsion is much higher than that of the TV series, but as an assistant director, he is still very envious of Jung Hyuk-jae's experience, after all, the director and the assistant director are only one word apart, but the content they are responsible for is very different.

In the face of Kim Myung-joon's praise, Jung Hyuk-jae had no words, just smiled.

"I don't know what Jung Hyuk Jae Xi thinks of the stage play "Er"?" After chatting about some digressions, Kim Myung-joon turned the conversation to the movie.

"When I was in college, I watched "Er" with my classmates because it was quite close to the theater, but I didn't understand it at the time, and the stage play was not particularly good in terms of plot and cohesion." Because I have watched the stage play "Er" many times in these days, Jung Hyuk-jae did not hesitate to talk about some of the problems in the play.

Jin Mingjun listened attentively, nodded his head in agreement from time to time, and said a few words of his opinion from time to time, and the atmosphere in the living room was extremely harmonious.

"Jung Hyuk Jae Xi?"

Hearing the sound of pushing the door, Jung Hyuk-jae turned his head to look at the person who came, although he had never met before, he still recognized at a glance who the person was coming, "Senior Li Junyi!" ”

"Brother, are you back?" Jin Mingjun also got up to greet him, came to the door and welcomed him in, turned around and went out to pour water again.

"Mingjun, don't go, sit down together and let's talk."

Lee Jun-ik sat on the right side of the sofa, Kim Myung-jun was on the left, and Jung Hyuk-jae was sandwiched between the two, and this scene looked a bit like a two-class trial.

Li Junyi, who was born in 1959, does not look so old as his actual age, he has passed the age of confusion, and he looks much younger when he sees everyone he sees, wearing a pair of round-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose. It's unclear if it's his preference for hats, but although the temperature in Seoul has dropped a few degrees in recent days, Lee Jun-ik still wears a peaked cap on his head, just like some hip-hop singers.

When he spoke, Lee Jun-ik did not directly ask questions related to "The King's Man", but asked Jung Hyuk-jae about his first impression of his company.

Zheng Hyukzai was stunned, and then he said: "It's very good, everyone is very serious about their work, and the division of labor is also very clear." ”

Faced with Li Junyi's sudden question, Jung Hyuk-jae's answer after losing his mind didn't seem so convincing, and he glanced at it a few times when he first entered the door, how could he feel anything. If I have to say that I have feelings, it is that there are not many women here in the company.

After listening to Jung Hyuk-jae's words, Lee Jun-ik didn't say anything, and the topic turned to the script, as if nothing had happened just now.

"I've just flipped through a few pages of the outline, and I don't know when Jung Hyuk Jae will be able to finish it?"

"One and a half more months." Jung Hyuk-jae said.

It seems to be a long time, but you must know that the rigor of the movie script itself is different from the TV script, from the characters to the dialogue, and even the scenes, the customs and customs of that era, he has to dabble in these, otherwise it would be ridiculous and generous to make such a big bug in a movie with a historical theme.

Of course, this time is also flexible, if there are no major problems in the creation and adaptation of the script, it will probably not take more than a month.

Li Junyi nodded, although a month and a half is quite long, he still has a lot of crew preparations to do during this period, from equipment to manpower, to the survey site of the filming location, he needs to prepare.

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

"I wonder if Jung Hyuk Jae Xi will have time in a few weeks?" Li Junyi asked out loud.

"What's the matter?"

"The casting session is scheduled for a few weeks"
