Chapter 53: Filming in Progress (2)

Although TV dramas are different from big productions like movies, even so, it is not a small test for Jung Hyuk-jae, who directly directed billions of TV series for the second time.

As early as after the script review meeting of the drama "I'm Sorry, I Love You" was passed, Jung Hyuk-jae had already begun the preliminary preparations for the crew, from the selection of crew members to the sorting out of the script, many matters that required him as a director to participate.

The deployment of TV station shooting equipment, the management and care of props, and simple and trivial things all need to be roughly gone through by him.

Although he has a general impression of "I'm Sorry, I Love You" in his mind, Jung Hyuk-jae still needs to visit the scene with the VJ team leader, deputy team leader, and art director of the crew, and ride a rented bicycle around the streets and alleys of Melbourne.

Many times the director does not need to do everything himself, but he needs to know how to communicate in all aspects.

Once the venue is found, the producer and translator are hired to negotiate the rental with the person in charge of the venue, and it is necessary to discuss the rental time, cost, and safety matters that need to be paid attention to.

After finding the venue, he needed to communicate with the photographer and art director about the placement of the camera and the laying of the track, how the camera should shoot, and how to shoot the effect he wanted under the existing conditions.

In the evening, the actors will get together for a trial reading of the lines, and he will explain the background of the characters in the story, so that the actors can study their roles more deeply, understand the characters, and experience the characters. Everyone would also talk to each other about the problems they encountered during the daytime shooting, and everyone would talk freely, and he would listen carefully to everyone's speeches and record them.

He also had to draw up a schedule for filming, and the overseas filming of "Sorry, I Love You" was a 'tight schedule', and he had to complete all the plots in Melbourne in the script within a limited time. This requires director Jung Hyuk-jae to allocate the shooting time according to the venue and actors, and the plot of a scene must be all integrated together, and strive to complete all the filming within a certain time.

In order to do this well, he had to read the script well and integrate the scenes. If the filming here is completed, and when you return to Seoul, you find that there is still a plot in Melbourne that has not been filmed, it will really become a big laughing stock in the TV drama circle.

Therefore, from the moment the crew was prepared, Zheng Hyukzai's heart has always been on his heart, even when he arrived in Melbourne, he couldn't completely put his mind at ease, because as the young patriarch of this crew, he also needs to be responsible for everyone's safety.

Melbourne is relatively safe, but there's no city that doesn't have its dark side, and it's no different at night. Therefore, long before the crew filmed, unless it was a night shooting, everyone had to stay in the hotel at night and were not allowed to go out.

Although this move attracted criticism from many people, under the strong pressure of Jung Hyuk Jae, everyone still silently obeyed what the director said

On the streets of Melbourne, the staff who had set up the scene early enclosed the venue, and several staff members went beyond the range of the camera to direct the passing crowd in case they disturbed the filming of the scene.

Maybe everyone is used to this kind of shooting, except for a few black people who jumped into the camera shooting range to be funny, most people can still walk away without squinting.

The scene filmed on the streets of Melbourne today is a 'TV interview with an abandoned orphan like Cha Moo-hyuk', with actors So Ji-sub and Choi Yeo-jin standing in front of the camera sorting out their lines and waiting for the director's preparations to begin.

Gray jeans and a gray half-sleeved jacket, a square scarf wrapped around his head, and stubble that has not been trimmed for a few days comes straight out, born in 1977, 27-year-old Su Ji-sub looks older than his actual age at a glance.

"The second scene of "I'm Sorry, I Love You" was filmed for the first time, start!" The young man who recorded the field ran to the camera, holding the field card in his hand and playing the board.

There was a soft "click", and the staff present raised their spirits and focused on their work meticulously.

In front of the camera, Su Ji-sub put one hand on the mailbox on the street, staring at the camera lens and reading lines in his mouth.

"I don't remember anymore, I heard that I was adopted when I was two years old." As he spoke, Su Ji-sub stretched out his finger towards the camera and gestured a '2'.

"What? Do you speak your native language? I'm talking very slippery, my girlfriend taught me to say it! The corners of his mouth curled up with a hint of a show-off smile, and he stretched out his hand to count, "I'm annoyed, I've lost to you, I will say these things to me!" โ€

After speaking, Su Ji-sub stretched out his arm to the outside of the screen and hugged Moon Ji-young played by Choi Ru-jin, "This is my girlfriend, Ji-young!" โ€

"I can understand my mother, and I also know that she is forced to do so, where would anyone be willing to abandon their own flesh and blood, and things like this are also possible, for example, the family is so poor that they can't even afford milk powder, and they want their children to live the life of a rich family!"

In front of the monitor, Jung Hyuk Jae rubbed his chin and carefully examined the footage. Su Ji-sub has almost thoroughly understood the role of Cha Moo-hyuk, the lines are very good in terms of tone and action, unlike many other actors who show their acting skills on the surface, he has been in the industry for seven years and has participated in many TV series, he has already learned how to be restrained in his acting skills.

That being said, after the filming of this shot was completed, Jung Hyuk-jae carefully inspected the filmed content from beginning to end, and always felt that there seemed to be something shortcoming.

So Ji-sub and Choi Yeo-jin stood behind him without saying a word, as if they wanted to see what kind of self the twenty-four-year-old director could make.

Although I felt strange in my heart, Jung Hyuk-jae didn't find any problems from it at first sight, Su Ji-sub and Choi Ru-jin's acting skills were very good, and no passers-by in the camera showed any strange expressions, but I checked it again, and the strange feeling in my heart became stronger and stronger.

Staring at the monitor again and looking at the finished picture, Jung Hyuk-jae stared at Su Ji-sub's mouth in the picture, and finally understood where the weirdness in his heart came from.

Stretched out his hand to greet him, and called the staff who thought he was on the scene, "You go to the convenience store over there and buy a pack of chewing gum and come back!" โ€

"Me?" The young man who couldn't react for a while was stunned, and Jung Hyuk-jae thought that he was because he didn't give him money, so he took out the small denomination of Australian dollars from his pocket and put it in his hand.

"Hurry up, go buy a pack of gum and come back, hurry! Shoot what you need! โ€

Only then did the young man react, but Qian nodded and ran quickly to the convenience store not far away, he didn't run out a few steps but turned back and ran back, and came to Zheng Hyuk Jae and scratched his head embarrassedly, "Zheng PD, how do you say chewing gum in English?" โ€

โ€œchewinggum๏ผโ€

Standing behind Jung Hyuk-jae, So Ji-sub saw his every move clearly, although he didn't quite understand why he did it, but So Ji-sub still waited patiently for his next move.

During the time when the young man ran to buy chewing gum, Jung Hyuk-jae looked at the captured pictures over and over again without the slightest impatience.

Five minutes later, the guy who bought the gum finally rushed back and handed the gum to Jung Hyuk-jae out of breath.

"Su Ji-subxi, let you read the lines while chewing gum during the shooting, let's do it again!" Jung Hyuk-jae explained.

"Yes!?" Hearing his explanation, Su Ji-sub still had a trace of puzzlement in his heart, but when he stood in front of the camera chewing gum in his mouth, even the staff around Jung Hyuk-jae could see the difference between this scene and the picture just shot.

If Cha Moo-hyuk played by So Ji-sub before was still serious, then when he chewed gum and read the lines in his mouth, he finished turning into a 'cynical' appearance, gently hooking his girlfriend Moon Ji-young's shoulder, looking at the camera with a slight hint of evil eyes, exuding a unique charm.

"Sorry, I Love You" second scene one shot and second shot, action!" The young man continued to play on the camera.

"I'm going to go to my poor mom, buy her new clothes, treat her to a steak, and give her a beautiful house!"

Saying that, Cha Moo-hyuk hugged his girlfriend Moon Ji-young again and shouted at the camera: "Mom, wait for me, I want you to enjoy Qingfu next, wait for me for another five years!" Just five years, okay? โ€

Cha Moo-hyuk stretched out his palm to the camera, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was called 'family affection'.

"oK, too!"

Jung Hyuk-jae re-watched the picture and nodded slightly after confirming that it was correct

At Incheon International Airport, a crowd of people was also waiting for their flight to begin, and a few people were surrounded by reporters not far away.

"Lee Hyung-min PD, do you have confidence in the moonfire drama you directed and filmed this time?"

Because of the presence of cameras and reporters, Lee Hyung-min endured the anger in his heart, and a smile was forced on the corner of his mouth, "Of course I am confident, with powerful actors like Kim Tae-hee and Kim Rae-won joining, as well as Choi Wan-gyu's main creation of the screenplay, "Love at Harvard" will definitely come out on top in the next Moon Fire Drama War!" โ€

"Are you saying that sBs and mBc will be firmly suppressed in terms of ratings?"

Li Hengmin did not say a word, pretending not to hear the reporter's question.

"Excuse me, if "Love at Harvard" won the first place in the next ratings battle, what do you think of the original author of this novel, Jung Hyuk Jae?"

Hearing this reporter's question, Li Hengmin's mood at that time was broken, a big smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he silently shouted to the reporter in his heart: wcnm!
