Chapter 64: A Bright Future Is Far Away

Early the next morning, Jung Hyuk-jae dragged his tired body to the set, the crew was assembling the venue and props, and the other people who were okay were squatting together, holding the box lunch delivered by takeout and eating with relish.

"Zheng PD, are you here so early today?" When they saw the visitors, the staff all asked.

There are no secrets in the TV station, and the ratings of the first issue of "Love Letter" have spread all over the TV station as early as last night.

"I can't sleep in the morning, so I want to come over early!" Jung Hyuk-jae shook his drowsy head, yawned and said, "You go and make me a cup of coffee, I'll go and wake up my face!" ”

"Eh, Zheng PD, you are busy first, I'll come back when I go!"

Hearing Jung Hyuk-jae's instructions, the sharp-eyed staff quickly replied and hurried to make coffee.

After a trip to the bathroom and came back, Jung Hyuk-jae felt a little better. Last night, the column group had a dinner, and they all saw themselves naked. is like a big beauty, and like the cat who saw the fishy child, she can't wait to pour all the wine on herself.

When I got home last night, I was uncomfortable and vomited, and I finally fell asleep at two or three o'clock in the middle of the night, and woke up at half past five in the morning, with a terrible headache, and I couldn't sleep anymore. So I simply woke up, got dressed and made breakfast for my sister at home, and then took the morning bus to the TV station.

"Zheng PD, your coffee!"

Within ten minutes, the girl who trotted all the way to make coffee came back, holding a cup of coffee in the palm of her hand, and a bag of yogurt and bread in the other hand, "You haven't had breakfast yet, I'll take a trip to the office to get some bread and yogurt, if Zheng PD doesn't mind, you can pad your stomach first!" ”

Jung Hyuk-jae looked up at the slightly panting girl in front of him, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on the white nose, and his gaze at her softened a lot, "Trouble!" ”

"Zheng PD, it's okay!" Hearing Zheng Hyuk Jae say this, the girl waved her hand in embarrassment, and her neck and cheeks turned red visibly, "Zheng PD, if you don't have anything else to order, then I'll go and get busy first!" ”

"Okay, there you go!"

Looking at the figure of the girl running not far away, Jung Hyuk-jae smiled and felt that his mood seemed to be much better.

The person in charge of the field team was responsible for the layout and arrangement of the shooting site, and Jung Hyuk-jae hurriedly moved a chair to sit aside, drinking fragrant and slightly bitter coffee, and instantly felt refreshed, and his head was not as groggy as when he just got up.

"Zheng PD, why did you come so early today?"

"Zheng PD, I watched yesterday's "Love Letter" at home, and I heard about the ratings, when are you going to have dinner?"

"The ratings have broken 30%, and this rating is almost comparable to "X-man", right?"

The colleagues who came to work early in the morning seemed to pass by the filming location of "I'm Sorry, I Love You" intentionally and unintentionally, and saw Jung Hyuk-jae sitting on the side of the venue and stopped to say a few words to him.

"In the first issue, everyone thinks that "Love Letter" is quite novel, and it is also a blessing to the audience, and the ratings broke 30%!" Facing the seniors of these TV stations, Jung Hyuk-jae was a little cautious and polite, and said modestly.

"It's not good to be too modest, isn't "I'm Sorry, I Love You" about to be broadcast, when the time comes, let's go out and get together together!"

"Okay, no problem!"

Early in the morning, the colleagues who came to chat with Jung Hyuk-jae for a while came wave after wave, and after half an hour, they stopped, and Jung Hyuk-jae rubbed his temples that were a little painful and shook his head.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the male and female leading actors who had shooting tasks today rushed to the scene, and when they saw Jung Hyuk-jae, who was standing in front of the props room early, he suddenly admired the director.

From the beginning of the filming of the TV series, he has never seen a director as diligent and hard-working as him. is also the case when filming in Melbourne, Jung Hyuk-jae is always the first to wake up in the crew, although the big and small affairs of the crew are not too much to care about, but as long as he sees unreasonable and unsafe places, he will always pick them out for rectification.

The filming in Melbourne is very easy, at least in the filming process of Su Ji-sub's TV series in the past few years, it seems that it is very easy, there are not too many complicated things to harass, he just needs to concentrate on filming. From crew safety to logistics, don't look at the first time the chief director who is a few years younger than himself directs a TV series, but when it comes to doing things, the assistant director of the crew in his thirties can't compare.

"Zheng PD!"

Maybe it's because of nature, Su Ji-sub still has that light tone in the face of Jung Hyuk-jae, as if he is not very close to anyone, and even plays with the heroine Lin Xiujing in the play, unless necessary, he generally does not care about playing and trying his lines. Although the tone of his speech was very indifferent, he could clearly feel that his attitude was much better than when he first met.

Hearing Su Ji-sub speak, Jung Hyuk-jae smiled and seemed to remember his attitude when they first met. At first, he was worried that he was so young that he didn't know if he could suppress the trending male lead of the crew, but as far as the current situation is concerned, everything in the crew is moving in a normal and healthy direction.

"So Ji-sub is here?"

Jung Hyuk-jae pointed to the dressing room, "The costume artist and makeup artist are already waiting, just go and change the costume." After a while, when Lin Xiujing arrives, our shooting today will officially begin! ”

The actor went to put on makeup, only the heroine who was still on the road had not arrived, Jung Hyuk-jae raised his wrist and looked at the time, the minute hand had already pointed to half past eight, but Lin Xiujing, who was the heroine, had not yet arrived, his face gradually looked a little bad, and he was in a good mood in the morning, but she was torn apart.

"You go and call Lin Xiujing's agent and ask, why hasn't it arrived yet?"

Jung Hyuk-jae casually pointed to a staff member and advised, "When the phone is connected, you tell her that the crew is waiting for her alone!" ”

"Yes!"

The staff saw that the face of the boss of the crew changed, and his heart was tight, but he knew how the director, known as the 'cold face on the set', trained the heroine in the first place, where did he dare to delay now, and ran to call in three steps and two steps.

"I'm sorry, Zheng PD! I'm late today! ”

Within a minute, the heroine Lin Xiujing ran to Zheng Hyuk-jae's side with her chubby little follower in small steps.

Her little attendant saw Zheng Hyuk-jae and hurriedly explained, "Zheng PD, there was a car accident on the road I just came to, and all the cars coming in this direction were blocked at that intersection, so I couldn't come over at eight o'clock!" ”

Zheng Hyukzae had a cold face, stared at the two people in front of him without saying a word, and only after a few seconds did he speak: "Go over there and put on makeup!" ”

When he was some distance away from Jung Hyuk Jae, the chubby little follower Mei Na was still indignant and said, "What kind of expression did he have just now, did he think we were lying?" There was a car accident on the road and I didn't come in time, why don't you believe it? ”

"That's it! Don't complain, the company is still ready to let you be my agent, how can you do it like you? Lin Xiujing patted the assistant's hand and said: "When you are stuck in traffic on the road, you should make a phone call to Zheng PD in advance, so that you can be prepared here, you didn't call, and you didn't send text messages, of course Zheng PD was angry!" ”

Lin Xiujing's little follower was speechless, smiled, and stopped talking, it is estimated that she also knew in her heart that she had almost made a mistake.

Generally speaking, the agent belongs to the artist and the company, an intermediate hub of the artist's foreign-related affairs, he is responsible for all aspects of the artist's life and career, and he also bears the corresponding responsibilities.

For example, what should a seasoned agent do if it just happened?

If there is a traffic jam or other accidents on the way, the agent needs to discuss and coordinate with the crew, because the crew can't delay the crew's day's shooting because the artist alone can't delay the crew's day's shooting.

Lin Xiujing walked in front, and the assistant and follower followed behind her.

If it weren't for the fact that the brokerage company she belonged to was too small, Mina, as an assistant, would not have been able to work as an agent. But today, a female artist from the same company happened to be interviewing for the script, and the agent who was in charge of four or five artists also followed, so Lin Xiujing only brought her assistant over.

In the dressing room, the two makeup artists saw that no one was coming, and gathered together to discuss last night's variety show "Love Letter" in a whisper.

One of them was the first to ask, "Did you read it yesterday?" ”

"See what?" Another female makeup artist wondered.

"It's our TV station's new variety show "Love Letter"!" As she spoke, there was a hint of 'disdain' in her gaze, and her talking eyes seemed to say, 'You haven't even heard of this!'"

"No, my boyfriend came back from an outing last night and slept a little early!" The makeup artist whispered in her friend's ear with some embarrassment.

"How? What time was it last night? ”

"What time is it, I went to bed early last night, okay!" Deliberately pretending not to understand what her friend was saying, the female makeup artist's face was dyed with a layer of clouds.

"Ah, don't pretend to be garlic, okay!"

The two of them were still talking, Lin Xiujing pushed the door and walked in, and the two of them stopped, "Lin Xiujing xi!" ”

"Put on some makeup for me, I'm in trouble!"

At the shooting scene, Jung Hyuk-jae was not idle, and changed the camera position with the members of the film crew again in front of the monitor, until he achieved the ideal effect in his mind.

From yesterday to today, although Zheng Hyukjae feels physically and mentally tired, there is still a motivation in his heart to support himself to work forward.

Wiping the fine sweat on his forehead, Jung Hyuk-jae sat on the chair next to him, closed his eyes, and although it was dark as far as his eyes could see, he could feel that in this darkness there was also a better tomorrow!
