If Seoul during the day is about work, then Seoul at night is about fun, at least for the vast majority of young people.

Jung Hyuk-jae met Bong Joon-ho again near his alma mater, Yonsei University. Because Bong Joon-ho has been busy with the preparation of college students' film activities at the school in recent days, in line with the principle of being close and not far away, the two of them set the location here, which can be regarded as reliving the memories of their youth.

The restaurant is not very big, because I missed the peak time for dinner, so there are not many customers in the store, and the room seems very quiet. Although the style and taste of the dishes in this restaurant may not be as good as those restaurants with stars, the dishes here are all with the taste of youthful memories, I think that in the first few years, Jung Hyuk-jae also lived like this, but if you want to find it now, it is estimated that you can't find any traces of your life at that time.

The two found a place by the window, outside the wide and bright glass window is a more prosperous street near Yonsei University, students in the nearby university town will come out to walk here as long as they have time, there is a girlfriend who naturally holds his girlfriend's hand crazy street, and people who do not have a girlfriend naturally pull their right hand and their left hand, which seems quite sad.

Sitting in front of the window, Bong Joon-ho suddenly pointed his hand to a small café not far away, and then asked Jung Hyuk-jae, "I remember that the location of that house was not a bookstore?" How did it become a coffee shop now? ”

"This coffee shop has been open for two years, and the previous one may have moved and stopped working here, right?" Looking in the direction of Bong Joon-ho's finger, Jung Hyuk-jae saw the coffee shop not far away, he had been there before, but he didn't stay there too much.

"That's right!"

Bong Joon-ho sighed meaningfully, sure enough, all these years. The street here has changed much more than he remembers, after all, more than ten years have passed since he graduated, and the changes are naturally much greater.

The two chatted without saying a word, and many times it was Bong Joon-ho who spoke first, and Jung Hyuk-jae added.

"Hyuk Jae Xi, this is the full version of the script!"

As he spoke. Bong Joon-ho took out the complete version of the script of "Monster" from the schoolbag he was carrying, at this time "Monster" was not called "Hanjiang Monster", a well-known name, Bong Joon-ho looked at this movie more than anyone else, and he didn't dare to have the slightest deviation at this time, and when he took it out, it was like holding his own son in the palm of his hand.

Jung Hyuk-jae took the script handed over by Bong Joon-ho, and it seemed that it was a very weighty movie script, but when he looked at the cover, it was blank, nothing was written, and even the name of the movie was not displayed on the cover. As for the reason for this, I don't know, maybe it's Bong Joon-ho's special hobby.

"Is this the script for 'Monsters.'" Jung Hyuk-jae asked after taking the script.

In his previous life, "Monster of the Han River" was really popular, and he only saw the complete movie screen shown on the movie screen after the filming was completed, as for the behind-the-scenes, the script or anything, he didn't expect that the original script of this movie is now in his hands, and it seems that he can still decide the final fate of the next movie "Monster"!

A person always has his own strengths, and he will also have his own shortcomings, which is what the 'no one is perfect' people say. Everyone always has a few things they are good at, and there will also be things they are not good at. It's like Bong Joon-ho.

When it comes to the profession of director, Bong Joon-ho can definitely be called the best of the new generation of directors in recent years. No matter how you say it, he is also the leader of the new generation of directors in the circle, and Bong Joon-ho has also done a few times and made several investments, but in the end they all ended in failure, and since then, Bong Joon-ho has never thought about investment problems.

Compared with. As a TV drama director, Jung Hyuk-jae can also be said to have made a name for himself in the new generation, and what is even more incredible is that Jung Hyuk-jae has proved everything to everyone in terms of investment and the vision of watching movies.

The script of "Monster" has been polished by Bong Joon-ho for three years, and it can be said that the script is completely ready, and it is almost an investor.

Thinking of this, Bong Joon-ho looked at Jung Hyuk-jae with a little expectation in his eyes, if nothing else, just because only Jung Hyuk-jae was left interested in the script now.

Regarding Bong Joon-ho's thoughts, in fact, Jung Hyuk-jae's heart has always been clear, but he must show an attitude before he can occupy a favorable position and position in the next negotiations.

Bong Joon-ho's overall budget for his film is estimated to be about 12 billion won, and the production cost of the film alone is enough to be called a big production at the end of this year, although it can't catch up with this year's New Year's schedule and next year's spring schedule, but as long as the funds are in place and the actors and crew are well prepared, Bong Joon-ho is confident that he will finish filming before the start of next year's summer vacation, which can be regarded as a good schedule.

The negotiation process is always very boring, but it is intriguing, especially when facing an old fox like Bong Joon-ho, Jung Hyuk-jae doesn't dare to take it lightly, otherwise if he doesn't pay attention to it, he will be dug up by an old fox like Bong Joon-ho.

12 billion is definitely not a small amount, even the current Zheng Hyuk-jae has only seen such a long string of '0' on the company's account, 12 billion is definitely not something that can be given if you want to, and in the process of negotiation, Zheng Hyuk-jae is more cautious.

After more than two hours of arguing with each other, the contract was finally signed, and the total investment of the movie "Monster of the Han River" was 12 billion yuan invested by JHJFilm, Jung Hyuk-jae's company, and JHJFilm was also the sole investor of the film.

12 billion won sounds like a lot, but it is not something that can be received in one piece, the investment is invested according to the filming schedule of the film, and the money is not directly remitted to Bong Joon-ho's account, but a third-party guarantee company is chosen. Regularly remitting this money to the crew's account also saves Jung Hyuk-jae a lot of trouble

Although it is the end of 2005, November is almost over, followed by December, but Jung Hyuk-jae's work is not less than a few points.

Needless to say, the TV series "Palace" is adapted from the comics, and this work adapted from the comics is directed by Jung Hyuk-jae. The TV series "Palace" was followed by "The King's Man" in December. There are a lot of things, and even Jung Hyuk-jae feels that there is not enough time.

The next day, like the day before, he came to MBC TV's studio drama "Palace" early in the morning for filming, and there were a lot of exterior scenes and school shots in the TV series, so Jung Hyuk-jae asked the crew to discuss with the nearest high school and borrowed an empty classroom and playground for filming.

After class, I found a group of strange people in the school square early, and the rumors spread two, two and three. After hearing that there were celebrities coming to their schools to film, many students ran faster than rabbits, and in less than a few minutes, almost half of the school's students ran over, and the number is still growing.

Seeing that the situation was a little beyond his control, how could Zheng Hyukzai not be anxious, while beckoning the crew to pack up the camera equipment, he took out a loudspeaker in his hand and shouted: "Don't crowd, everyone." Don't move around, and be careful not to step on each other! ”

"Huh. Who is that woman? Outside the circle, a female classmate pointed to a woman in school uniform in the middle crew and asked, because the distance between the two was a little far, and the tall classmates around her were covered, she was still a little short-sighted, so she couldn't see what the woman looked like.

"Isn't that Yoon Eun-hye?"

"Which, which?" Hear the words of your classmates. The classmates who haven't found Yoon Eun-hye are a little anxious.

"Don't worry, isn't that her in the school uniform?"

Saying this, someone followed the gaze of his classmate's fingers, and sure enough, it was Yoon Eun-hye!

"Who are those two men?" Another classmate pointed to the male number one and male number two who had just arrived, and pointed to the two of them and asked.

"Oh. You're talking about them, they are the protagonists of this TV series, the one in front is Zhu Zhixun, and the other is Kim Jeong-hoon, who is no longer a newcomer in the TV drama circle, but he has starred in several TV series before and are only supporting roles, and the TV series has not become popular, so if you want to watch it, you have to watch it this time! ”

Perhaps because of the arrival of celebrities, the number of dropouts who have gathered in the circle has not decreased, but it has seen more and more situations.

Dare to say that these ten minutes between classes in this school are the longest ten minutes that Jung Hyuk-jae has ever experienced, if it weren't for the fear of something happening, Jung Hyuk-jae would have pulled the crew to shoot a long time ago, but because there is such a group of students hanging behind him no matter where he goes, it looks quite stylish.

Ten minutes after the recess, the school once again fell into silence, and the faint sound of reading in the classroom next door made Jung Hyuk Jae feel as if he was about to cross over.

"Okay, all departments are ready, let's move on to the next shot!" Jung Hyuk-jae looked at the crew in front of him and said.

"Jingle Bell Jingle Bell"

"Excuse me, I'll answer the phone!" After glancing at the caller ID, Jung Hyuk-jae got up and said to the many staff members who were seated, and then came to the side and pressed the answer button on his mobile phone.

"Oppa, where are you now?" On the phone, Han Jiaren suddenly asked.

"I, I'm at a high school here in Cheongdam-dong, what's wrong?" Jung Hyuk-jae asked.

"Oh, nothing!" On the phone, Han Jiaren laughed happily.

The call didn't last long, and soon the two hung up.

returned to the scene of the crew's shooting, because the chief PD Jung Hyuk-jae was not there, so everyone looked very relaxed when chatting together, but when Jung Hyuk-jae came back, the expression on his face was obviously much better than just now.

"Units are ready, the third shot is the fifth"

"Whose phone number?" Hong Xiuzhen, who had just returned from the bathroom outside, couldn't help but feel a little strange when she saw Han Jiaren hang up the phone.

Hearing his agent's inquiry, Han Jiaren took the lead and shook his head, "It's nothing." ”

Whose phone call Han Jiaren didn't say in the end, but although she didn't say it, she was as careful as Hong Xiuzhen, and she could more or less guess from Han Jiaren's performance on weekdays.

If it was just an ordinary phone call, Han Jiaren would not blush anything, so it can be inferred that at least the protagonist of Han Jiaren's phone call is not an ordinary person, otherwise you can't see the moment when Han Jiaren blushes.

"It's nothing, don't we still have an itinerary? Sister Xiuzhen, let's go quickly! Saying that, without waiting for Hong Xiuzhen to ask anything again, Han Jiaren grabbed Hong Xiuzhen and prepared to leave.

"Okay, okay, let's go." Because of Han Jiaren beside her, Hong Xiuzhen couldn't help but glance at her, how panicked this should be, it was like running for her life.

"Let's go, Sister Xiuzhen!" Han Jiaren said with a snickering on the corner of her mouth.

In fact, the phone call I just made with Jung Hyuk-jae didn't have any idea at all, but I suddenly remembered it and thought about making a call with him. After all, the entertainment industry is a fast-paced lifestyle circle, and many times what you like may not be liked by others.

The relationship between men and women is also very fragile in such a fast-paced entertainment industry, and here Han Jiaren comes out with various itineraries, advertisements, pictorials, and print advertisements, and there are other kinds of itineraries, such as TV dramas, variety shows, and so on.

Over there, Jung Hyuk-jae actually couldn't be idle, the filming of the TV series "Palace" has just entered an excellent state, and it will take a long time before the filming is completed.

Although they are both in the entertainment industry and are both people in the entertainment industry, in recent times, in addition to calling and chatting about lovesickness, the number of times the two have met is really not much. (To be continued.) )

PS: Thank you for the monthly pass support of Heaven and Earth Giant Axe, Feng Jixuan, Swordsman Feitian, and Li Mingquan 1986! Thank you for the forbidden area twilight, I never thought about it, the dark little white in my heart, the lonely bird of Luoxia, and the ugly reward!
