Chapter 102: The hard-pressed rookie director

'Director', a profession that sounds incomparably tall, it seems that as long as the director opens his mouth, girls from all walks of life who want to become famous will immediately spread their legs and let them be ravaged.

Of course, this director also needs to be divided into a variety of situations, from mV to advertising, and even a promotional film of a local scenery, all of which need a director, but can such a director match the image that ordinary audiences think?

Obviously, it can't, because such a director is too low, and he is all low. No matter what acting stars you say, handsome men and beautiful women, this investment will be at least billions, right?

Well, in fact, there are too many viewers who directly position the profession of director as a film director, but in fact, there are still not many film directors in South Korea who can be named, and more are those mV directors and TV commercial directors who are struggling in various TV stations, earning a penny of hard money, hoping to one day realize their big screen dreams.

A trip to Chungmuro will reveal the state of the Korean film industry, which can really be called a 'directors are everywhere, and there are as many screenwriters as dogs', of course, this sentence is more or less derogatory, although it is true.

Compared with Korean dramas, Korean films started much earlier, and they have developed to such a state today through a long history. At the beginning of 1900, Korean films were mainly released in the form of short films, and corresponding short film theaters were formed.

History entered the 70s, television entered ordinary families, and the film industry entered a period of decline. However, during this period, best-selling films depicting young people's love stories, such as "The Hometown of the Stars" and "Winter Girl", still appeared.

In the 80s, the Korean film industry began to revivenation. It was during this period of the twentieth century that Korean films gradually flourished, mainly relying on the support of the local film industry in South Korea, and after the 90s, Korean films developed rapidly, and a large number of high-level masterpieces appeared.

1996 "Ginkgo Bed", 1999 "Life and Death Spy", 2000 "Joint Security Area", 2001 Korean films "My Savage Girlfriend", "My Wife is a Big Guy", "Friends", etc., 2002 "Homecoming", "Drunken Painting Fairy", and a large number of other films have provided great spiritual support for the recovery of the Korean film industry.

Like all industries, the scenery will always belong to a few people at the top of the industry, and there are more directors in the industry, or those young directors who are waiting for opportunities in TV stations.

Park Kwang-hyun was one of them, and almost one-sixth of the various fried chicken and beer advertisements broadcast on TV were all from him, and during that time, he also became a professional household of 'fried chicken beer' in everyone's mouth, so as to specialize in receiving such advertisements to survive.

After taking so many advertisements, it stands to reason that he should have saved a lot of savings, but if you look at his passbook, it is less than 10 million, which is already his entire net worth. has been a TV commercial director for so many years, logically speaking, it shouldn't be so hard, but the reality is so cruel and ruthless.

It should be said that every director has a dream of a big screen in his heart, Park Kwang-hyun also hopes that he can direct a movie and direct a blockbuster, from the time he chose this industry, film directing has always been his dream.

In 2002, he finally had such an opportunity to direct the movie - "The Enemy in Four Rooms", although this movie is composed of three stories, and he directed only one of them, but this is enough to make him excited, after waiting for so many years, he finally has the opportunity to take charge of the crew and shoot the story he wants.

The final release of "The Enemy in Four Rooms" did not turn out to be very good, and it can also be said that the environment in the Korean film industry is not very good, and only one of the four films shot every year can make money.

After "The Enemy in Four Rooms", Park Kwang-hyun is still working as his own advertising director, from sBs to KBs to mBc, it seems that every TV station has him, waiting for the next opportunity to come.

While filming the commercial, Park Kwang-hyun has been polishing the script he created, which is a film script that has been carefully prepared for nearly two years, and he sees it as if it were his own child.

Creating and polishing scripts, submitting script resumes to major film companies, and pulling investment, Park Kwang-hyun has been doing these things himself.

The film production companies that agreed to invest did not approve of his directorial resume, and they wanted to take the script and find a director with a more extensive resume to direct the film. For this, Park Kwang-hyun naturally disagrees.

Since the end of October last year, Park Kwang-hyun has been negotiating with major film production companies, but the results of the negotiations are not so satisfactory, he can't get investment, and his head is hot, so he put the savings he has accumulated over the years into the filming of the film.

The film decided to start filming in February, but after Park Kwang-hyun's repeated calculations, there was still a big hole in the budget of the film, and after his repeated calculations, if he wanted the final film to achieve the effect he wanted, the production cost would need at least 1.5 billion, plus his own investment, it would be almost 4 billion, and it can also be regarded as a small and medium-cost film in Korean films.

But the most important question is, where do investors come from?

Despite Park Kwang-hyun's repeated affirmations and vows, film production companies of all sizes still dare not put more than a billion dollars on him as a rookie director, and anyone who has seen his resume knows that Park Kwang-hyun's screening performance of "The Enemy in Four Rooms" is definitely not excellent, although the reason for the average performance of this film cannot be blamed on Park Kwang-hyun, but it is enough to negate his plans and proposals.

For two weeks, from cJ to showBox to new to Rakuten, there were very few companies that agreed, and most of the rest were formulaic answers, 'Park Kwang-hyunxi, please go back and wait patiently for a while, we will reply to you within a week after discussion.' ’

Park Kwang-hyun had already given up on these production companies, and looking at the list of film production companies on the table full of contact information and contact addresses, his first thought was to crumple them up and throw them in the trash.

Perhaps not giving up, with the idea of contacting one last time, Park Kwang-hyun dialed the next phone number

"Park Kwang-hyun, I really didn't expect our first meeting to unfold in such a way." Seeing someone coming, Jung Hyuk-jae got up and shook hands with him, then said with a smile.

"Do you know me?" Although the person in front of him looks a few years younger than him, Park Kwang-hyun has a very correct attitude when he speaks, after all, the owner in front of him cannot be offended, and the official start of filming of his film is indispensable to the support of the person in front of him.

"Of course I know, when I was in school, we took out the movie "Four Rooms" for appreciation, and the short story "My Nike" directed by Park Kwang-hyun Xi in the movie was one of our favorites at that time."

Zheng Hyuk-jae complimented him half-truthfully, he did watch the movie "The Enemy in the Four Rooms", and he was more impressed by the plot of the story, but his favorite thing was "The Enemy in the Four Rooms", a small story with the same name as the film.

"I didn't expect you to study directing too?" Park Kwang-hyun's tone was a little excited, although the two were not from the same school, but the identity of the same director was recognized by him.

Jung Hyuk-jae waved his hand and explained with a smile: "The director profession is not great, but I also entered the director industry by mistake." ”

Seeing what he said easily, but Park Kwang-hyun in front of him listened carefully, and it took him a while before he felt that the more he looked at it, the more familiar he felt, and he seemed to have seen him on TV recently.

Jung Hyuk-jae saw that Park Kwang-hyun had been staring, his face full of doubts, so he opened his mouth to reintroduce himself, "Jung Hyuk-jae, pen name 'Jeon Woo'. ”

"Oh!"

Hearing him say this, Park Kwang-hyun finally remembered why the name 'Jung Hyuk-jae' is so familiar, isn't this the protagonist of the 'sBs Acting Awards Shady' some time ago? It's just that before sBs TV suppressed the shady remarks of netizens on the Internet, everyone's attention was attracted by the 'X-Files' incident.

There has been no news of him for almost a month, some people say that Jung Hyuk Jae has resigned from sBs TV, others say that sBs TV has given him some compensation, and he has disappeared.

Park Kwang-hyun looked at the living Jung Hyuk-jae in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Don't mind me asking, I've always been curious about Jung Hyuk Jae's current situation." Park Kwang-hyun said.

"Well, I resigned from sBs TV some time ago, and recently I have been preparing for the preliminary work of the film production company." Jung Hyuk-jae replied with a smile and briefly talked about his recent situation.

"I don't know if I've read the script for you, do you need me to introduce the synopsis of the plot?"

Officially entering the negotiations, Park Kwang-hyun Jung-seol asked Jung Hyuk-jae about it.

Although he has already read the script once, it is better for Jung Hyuk-jae to understand Park Kwang-hyun's knowledge and understanding of his own script, which is both an experience and a rare insight for Jung Hyuk-jae.
