Chapter 50: The Invisible Confrontation

“oK,cut!”

Lee Hyung-min, the director of "Love at Harvard", sat in front of the monitor, and when he saw the state of the male and female leads, he couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, which seemed to indicate that the next shooting would be smoother.

Kim Tae-hee and Kim Rae-won took advantage of the free time to study the script, and Lee Hyung-min directed the on-site staff to set up the scenes and venues for the next shooting.

"Li PD, a group of reporters came out and all of them wanted to interview, do you think you need to come forward?"

"Interviews? What to interview? Li Hengmin was stunned, it seems that he didn't make an appointment to meet reporters today, right?

The crew has already started filming, in order to take care of the progress of filming, as long as it is not a particularly important interview, Li Hengmin will generally push it back, why is there another group of reporters today?

Li Hengmin was a little irritable, turned his head and waved his hand, "No, go and tell them that they will not be interviewed during the filming crew, and you should pay attention to the field affairs, don't let them interfere with the on-site shooting, otherwise you will be asked!" ”

"Yes!"

The staff hurriedly responded and ran away without daring to stop for a moment.

Lee Hyungmin turned around and continued to watch the playback of the monitor, carefully watching the positions and compositions of the heroes and heroines in the picture, and made sure that there was no trace of a problem, so he waved his hand and changed the scene.

Today's filming of "Love at Harvard" is really in a mountain in Gyeonggi-do. A hospital in the district, although outside news reports say that "Love at Harvard" is about to go to the United States for filming, but the actual situation is not so simple, and it is not a small amount in terms of budget alone.

In order to show the importance of the crew, and also to defeat sBs and mBc in the next month's fire drama war, the total investment in "Love at Harvard" has reached 5 billion won, although the total budget investment is not as good as mBc's 7 billion won "Dae Jang Geum", but for a 20-episode TV series, the cost of a single episode is as high as 250 million yuan, equivalent to about 1.6 million yuan. ("Dae Jang Geum" has a total of 54 episodes.) )

With such a large investment, KBs are naturally ambitious, and Lee Hyung-min does not dare to take this lightly, and from time to time he will discuss a few words with screenwriter Choi Wan-gyu to discuss the development of the plot and the selection of scenes.

"Did you read the comments on the Internet?" Lee Hyung-min sat idly in the director's chair and asked in a whisper.

Cui Wangui nodded, opened a bottle of mineral water and poured a few sips, and the dripping water droplets were even more stained with his beard, and he sighed after quenching his thirst: "Young people nowadays are really not simple!" ”

Needless to say, Lee Hyung-min also knows who the young man he is talking about.

"How's it going, what's going on with the next plot?" Lee Hyung-min asked.

The filming of Korean dramas has its fixed mode, and the form of filming and broadcasting is destined to be controllable, and the life and death of the male and female protagonists and supporting roles in the play are all in the palm of the screenwriter's hands. This all shows the status of the screenwriter in the crew.

It can be said that the role of the screenwriter in the crew is to draw a good path first, from the beginning to the end; The director is responsible for the scenery on this road, whether it is a soft and sunny spring day or a blazing heat, these are the director's work, and the two complement each other. The road from the beginning to the end is the same, but the scenery is different.

The script is written by the screenwriter, and generally speaking, the director has no right to change it, otherwise it is disrespectful to the screenwriter.

Hearing Lee Hyung-min mention this question, Choi Wan-gyu's wide-faced elder looked a little more symmetrical, rubbing the beard of his chin, while sighing, "It's not easy to write!" ”

Don't look at the story content of "Love at Harvard" is based on the novel, but some of the plots are not suitable for TV broadcasting. And the work of a screenwriter is not as simple as everyone thinks, from character relationships to dialogues, from scene to environmental description, a good TV drama script needs a good screenwriter to write.

Choi Wan-gyu's current worries are about the ending of "Love at Harvard".

The ending of Jung Hyuk Jae's novel version belongs to the standard Korean drama ending, where a person dies with a trace of nostalgia, which causes a lot of lethality among readers, some people cry, and some people cry and beg to change the ending, but Jung Hyuk Jae has never responded to these positively.

Choi Wan-gyu also wants to write down such a plot, and you can also insert memories in the middle, the ratings of such an ending must not be low, emotional dramas have always been his strength, and he dares to guarantee that the plot he writes like this will definitely be a depth charge thrown into the audience. However, as soon as he remembered the message on the official website of KBs TV, Choi Wan-gyu felt that he was covered in a cold sweat.

"Yikes! If you dare to write our lovely scholars to death, you will die! This is a statement left by an extreme netizen.

"Shurenmei's paper is cute, can you bear to write her to death?" This is a 'cute' male netizen, well, the message is also accompanied by a cute illustration of Shuren, the heroine of "Love at Harvard", with a pair of watery eyes wide, which is distressing.

"Although I don't know where the author's home of "Love at Harvard" is, I can inquire about the home of the screenwriter and director, don't ask me who I am!"

"The screenwriter Choi Wan-gyu is on our blacklist, as long as there is no TV series in his hands that is not a bloody romance drama, everyone must not be deceived by him, his name is 'Korean Void Abyss Hyun'!"

Although the readers of the novel version are very much looking forward to the TV drama version, they are not easy to serve, and they have asked the screenwriter to change the ending, Choi Wan-gyu is worried about this, if he doesn't take care of the emotions of this part of the people, it is very likely that the ratings of the TV series will plummet, and then he can hug the director Lee Hyung-min and cry bitterly.

Choi Wan-gyu said vaguely, but Lee Hyung-min knew his difficulties, so he could only reach out and pat him on the shoulder to encourage him, get up and instruct the staff to go.

"Assi! How does this make me write? Choi Wan-gyu felt a burst of pain when he held his head

Incheon International Airport in Incheon Metropolitan City, Korea's international passenger and cargo hub, has earned worldwide praise and reputation for its reliable and smooth operation and high-quality service since replacing the old Gimpo International Airport in 2001.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Jung Hyuk-jae traveled from downtown Seoul to Incheon in a car that took about an hour and a half on the road. In addition to the vehicles in which the two staff members were traveling, the team was followed by several large long vans, which were loaded with all the equipment needed for filming, from cameras to slides to large swingarms.

Overseas filming is not just lip service, long before the decision to shoot, Jung Hyuk-jae has already started the preparation of the crew, from the passports of the staff to the equipment needed, to the food and accommodation of the crew after arriving in Melbourne, to the communication between the filming venue and the local government, all of which are for him to contact.

Fortunately, sBs TV is also more interested in the drama "I'm Sorry, I Love You", and with the communication and negotiation of sBs TV in it, the above problems have finally been properly resolved before departure.

Arriving at Incheon International Airport, Jung Hyuk-jae got off the car and directed the staff to carry the equipment and consignment, and also coordinated with the airport before coming, with the help of the airport staff and transport vehicles, the speed was still fast, and all the equipment needed was shipped within 40 minutes.

"Who came over from the actors?" Jung Hyuk-jae asked the drama manager beside him, "After a while, you take a roll call, and the actors and staff who have already come will sign in separately, and see who hasn't arrived!" ”

In his previous life, he had run several overseas specials for overseas variety shows, so he was still quite good at these. The biggest problem faced by overseas filming is not about the cost, the filming schedule or anything, the biggest problem is precisely the personal safety of the entourage, after all, it is an unfamiliar environment and listening to unfamiliar language, so in this regard, Zheng Hyuk-jae is as careful as he is, and he does not dare to be careless.

"Haven't the male and female lead actors arrived yet?"

"I've just called to confirm, Lin Xiujing is stuck in traffic halfway, and it should be fifteen minutes before she arrives!" Following Jung Hyuk-jae's side, the drama soft girl explained softly.

"What about Su Ji-sub?"

Hearing Jung Hyuk-jae's question, the drama sister was obviously a little hesitant, "Ah, I asked about this, his agent said"

"Say? Say what? Jung Hyuk Jae hurriedly asked.

"When I called, Su Ji-sub had just finished a radio trip, and he was just about to leave!" Saying that, the drama girl herself felt a little embarrassed, as if she was his agent, buried her head deep in her chest, and didn't dare to look up at Jung Hyuk Jae in front of her.

"What? Assi! ”

Zheng Hyuk-jae, who is gentle and friendly on weekdays, also exploded, feeling particularly speechless, and pointed to the drama girl next to him with his hands in his pockets, and said: "Call his agent again and tell him that if he can't catch it within an hour and a half, you can let him buy his own ticket and take the next plane to Melbourne!" ”

"Yes!" The drama girl ran to the side to make a phone call, and Jung Hyuk Jae got up and came to the tall floor-to-ceiling window of the airport waiting room, looking at the plane parked on the airport tarmac, thinking silently about things in his heart.

"Zheng PD is still thinking about the male lead?" Yin Xiangyou didn't know when he came to his side, stood beside him and asked.

"Nope!" Jung Hyuk-jae shook his head, he was just angry for a moment just now, and he forgot about it later.

Yoon Xiangyou explained to Jung Hyuk-jae, "Actually, you can't blame Su Ji-subxi, after all, the company has already set the itinerary for him."

Jung Hyuk-jae waved his hand and signaled him not to say any more, the itinerary is one thing, the attitude is another, as long as you can come over within an hour and a half, everything is easy to say.
