Chapter 55: Script Discussion
Luo Hongzhen, male, 35 years old, graduated from the Imaging Institute of Korea Art School.
After graduating, he devoted himself to the film directing industry, and has won the Best Work Award at the Short Film Festival for "The Perfect Red Snapper Cuisine" and the Daejong Award for Best Short Film for "Hate".
His works are mainly eye-catching with novel storylines, and he has been highly recognized by the industry for his outstanding visual performance.
After gaining recognition in the short film industry, Luo Hongzhen began to set his sights on the big screen, and he began to plan to shoot his first Virgo.
But while looking for the script, he ran into trouble.
His strength lies in the handling of plot and visual representation, so he wanted to shoot an action drama film, but he never had a suitable script.
The source of film scripts in South Korea is very different from that of other countries, and it is often the directors who write the scripts themselves and shoot them themselves. There are not many finished scripts on the market.
Like the famous movie "My Sassy Girlfriend", although it is adapted from the web novel of the same name, the adaptor is the director of this movie.
And some famous original scripts, many of which were created by the film director himself.
The main reason for this phenomenon is that Korean society attaches great importance to the issue of seniority, and the situation of seniority ranking is very serious. It is difficult for young directors to gain the trust of others and to get investment.
In this environment, people who are engaged in the directing profession have gained a long period of accumulation, during which they will not only learn a lot about the basic work of other aspects of film, but also often learn to write their own scripts.
As a result, many famous directors have the ability to write their own scripts. As a result, the film script industry is not well developed in South Korea.
Luo Hongzhen also wants to write his own scripts, but he is still young, compared to those seniors in his forties and fifties, his accumulation is not so much, and his creative skills are not rich enough.
Second, he chose an action drama film, which involved a lot of expertise in the judicial field, which also caused him a lot of trouble.
And Kim Yun-ho's script appeared in front of Luo Hongzhen at this point in time.
Shen Donghai's father is a private owner of a small factory, mainly engaged in the business of film and television peripherals, producing some small pendants and small handicrafts. Therefore, he is also half of the entertainment industry.
When Shin Dong-hae's father heard that it was his son's boss who wrote the script, he attached great importance to it and used all his connections to hand over the script to Kim Yun-ho, striving to do it well as soon as possible, so that Shin Dong-hae could leave a good impression in Kim Yun-ho's heart.
Yesterday, Shen Donghae's father's hard work paid off, and by chance, he sent the manuscript to Luo Hongzhen.
And after Luo Hongzhen finished reading it, he was like a treasure.
Although Kim Yunhao's manuscript cannot be called a script from the perspective of film and television, the serial murder case in the manuscript was favored by Luo Hongzhen, and the case recorded by Kim Yunhao was also very detailed and professionally summarized.
It just so happened that these things were all he desperately needed right now.
Last year, he wanted to shoot a movie with this theme, but first, he suddenly fell seriously ill at that time and didn't have the energy to get the script, and second, the investor who had a good relationship with him suddenly ran into trouble and couldn't invest in the film for him, so he had to find an investor again.
For a variety of reasons, his new film plan was delayed and postponed for a year.
Who knew that as soon as he dealt with these external unfavorable factors, he received Kim Yunhao's script, which made him overjoyed.
So, Luo Hongzhen replied to Shen Donghai's father on the spot, wanting to meet the author.
In this way, there was the previous conversation between Kim Yunhao and Shin Donghae.
Kim Yoon-ho and Shin Dong-hae were driving to the meeting place at this time to discuss the script with director Na Hong-jin.
The three of them are about to meet.
On the way here, Kim Yunhao didn't know that from today onwards, he would have another source of income in the future, and it would have a great impact on his future career development.
――
In the afternoon, Kim Yoon-ho and Shin Dong-hae arrived at the meeting place with Na Hong Jin, a high-end hall in Seocho-gu.
In a box on the third floor, Kim Yun-ho met director Luo Hong-jin, with a young face, black glasses and a beard on his chin, very literary.
"Hello, you're Prosecutor Kim Yoon-ho, right?"
After Kim Yun-ho was ordered into the house by the waiter, Luo Hongzhen greeted him, bowed, stretched out his hand, and said hello.
"Hello, I'm Kim Yoon-ho, and this is my investigator's assistant Shin Dong-hae." Kim Yunhao also bowed, shook hands with Luo Hongzhen, and introduced.
"Hello, I can't imagine you are more heroic than in the camera. Hehe, this is my assistant. Come, let's sit down and talk. Luo Hongzhen spoke very politely, but the speed of speech was a little fast.
After sitting down, the two sides exchanged pleasantries.
Kim Yunho was dealing with Luo Hongzhen while observing the environment in the house, no way, professional habits.
However, after careful observation, he did find something unusual.
First of all, this hall is very upscale, and this room is even more luxurious. Kim Yunho couldn't figure it out, Korean directors come to such a high-end place for daily communication? Or does Luo Hongzhen have some other background?
Secondly, Luo Hongzhen's attitude towards his assistant was very strange, and he seemed to be very polite to his assistant. In South Korea, a director is actually polite to his assistant? It doesn't make sense at all!
There are quirks!
However, Kim Yun-ho didn't think too much about it, and he didn't intend to guess the secret, he was only interested in how much money his manuscript could sell for.
"Director Luo Hongzhen, I don't know why you asked me to come today...?" Kim Yun-ho first talked about this topic.
Luo Hongzhen patted his head and smiled awkwardly: "Hehe, look at me, I patronized and chatted with you, and I forgot about business." ”
He took out a copy of the manuscript from his briefcase and pushed it in front of Kim Yun-ho: "Can you tell me about the part of your summary?" Although the manuscript seems to be detailed, it is not as vivid and impressive as you are to tell it. ”
Yoo Yong-chul's serial murder case was tried publicly, and the information about this case is completely open to the public and can be found everywhere on the Internet.
However, the sum of all the information is not as detailed as Kim Yun-ho's records, after all, he is from the judicial system and has a natural advantage in collecting case information.
Luo Hongzhen attaches great importance to these detailed information, but he attaches more importance to Kim Yunhao's personal discussion of this case, especially the discussion of the murderer's behavior, the discussion of the inaction of the police and prosecutors in the case, and the discussion of the judicial mechanism.
And these are all elements that can sublimate the film. Therefore, he wanted to hear Kim Yoon-ho speak in detail.
Kim Yun-ho didn't hide it either, this manuscript was mainly prepared for his graduation thesis at the Judicial Research Institute three years ago, and the contents of it appeared in that thesis, so there is nothing that cannot be said.
Therefore, Kim Yunhao spoke out boldly with confidence, and added some new insights and opinions in the past three years.
Listening to Kim Yunhao's narration, Luo Hongzhen's eyes became brighter and brighter.
At first, after reading the manuscript, he simply thought he had found a good script.
But after listening to Kim Yun-ho's personal account, especially after Kim Yun-ho integrated what he had newly learned in the past three years into this manuscript, Luo Hongzhen's eyes lit up and he was very excited.
Kim Yun-ho's discussion of this case can be used as the theme of the film, and it is very in-depth, which is likely to attract the attention and discussion of the whole society.
As for how to add these discussions to the movie, it is director Luo Hongzhen's own business, and he has no worries about this.
Although Kim Yun-ho's manuscript is not a formal script, it provides Luo Hongzhen with very good material and expression themes, which is the skeleton of the script.
And Luo Hongzhen is good at dealing with the plot, portraying the characters, and carving the flesh and blood of the script.
The two of them are each responsible for a part of the work, which adds up to a very good script.
After communicating with Kim Yun-ho, Luo Hongzhen couldn't wait to start filming immediately, but considering that the script was not perfect enough, he forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart.
Also, it's time to talk about the price of the script.
