- Volume 17, Episode 9

409.   Mt. Jirisan Filming Site 2

When director Park Seon-jae says he can't work with him, director of photography Lee Tae-sik brims his eyes.

"Director Park. What did you do now?"

"Did I tell you? We can't do it together.

why?

"You chew on the continuity and shoot as you please? To be honest, right now, I'm not sure if this is my movie or the director's movie.

Not even a minute goes by."

Cinematographer Taesik Lee raised his voice.

"Hey, Director Park! Are you just listening to your wife and taking the film seriously? Do you know how much money this movie cost?"

I know. So I'm trying to be careful.

"Then listen to my advice! Don't risk your life on something that doesn't work!"

"That conti. I made it myself!"

As the fight between the general director and the cinematographer intensifies, CEO Shin Jong-ki raises his hand.

"What are you doing in front of me?"

Then, cinematographer Lee Tae-sik said that he felt uncomfortable.

CEO. Do I really look like this now? I came here to help director Ipbong Saepaun, what kind of disgrace is this?"

"It's done. First of all, leave work and apologize for the remarks you made a while ago."

Yes?

"I mean, I just listened to my wife and made a decision. that was a bit too much Ahn is the director of the production of this film, isn't it?

Cinematographer Tae-sik Lee counters by pretending not to win.

all right. I apologize for that."

"Not to me, but to Director Park!"

Cinematographer Lee Tae-sik turns his attention to director Park Seon-jae.

"Director Park. I think I'm overdoing it a bit. I'm sorry Sun.

Director Park Seon-jae answers with a slightly genuine tone of voice.

"I will accept that apology."

CEO Shin Jong-ki speaks to director Park Seon-jae this time.

"Director Park. There may be differences of opinion like this while filming. We're all grown-ups, so let's get along in moderation and focus on the movie. Why are people like this, who knows that screening dates are tight?"

Director Park Seon-jae sighed briefly.

"I know. but this time

after. Just promise me that director Lee will never direct himself again. Then I have no desire to fight."

Then the voice of cinematographer Tae-sik Lee, who had been quiet, rises once again.

"Director Park! And if the movie fails, will you be responsible? And my name is also on the staff roll, so you tell me to shut your mouth? If you're going to use a ratchet cinematographer who listens to you, then get someone else.

Director Park Seon-jae frowned.

"It's probably not possible. I see

NS. I'll save it for you.

As director Park Seon-jae shows no sign of backing down, cinematographer Lee Tae-sik looks at CEO Shin Jong-ki.

CEO. At the request of the CEO, I came up here prepared to stay in the living room, but I can't do it either. I'm just going to do it right here.

"Uh-huh! these people. Are you really like this?"

Director of Photography Lee Tae-sik turned around without answering.

Hey! filming team. Fold everyone! we phil

You don't have it."

The filming team looks at them and responds.

"Come on, Director. Even though "

what? Can't you hear me? Are you guys not going to work with me in the future?"

Most of the four crew members have worked with cinematographer Lee Tae-sik for many years.

As a result, I started packing my bags according to the words of Young-Dok Cho rather than CEO Shin-Shin-Ki.

CEO Shin Jong-ki gets angry as if there is no absurdity.

"What are these people doing now? Without this director, how are we supposed to film?"

"Oh, didn't you hear? You don't need me!

I couldn't watch it any longer.

Now it's time for me to go.

CEO.

CEO Shin Shin-ki turns his head.

Why? Chief Jung."

"This is how you mediate."

CEO Shin Jong-ki puts on an annoyed expression on his face.

"Why are you doing this to Team Leader Jeong? Even Team Leader Jeong should stop."

"In this situation, how would you choose the picture that Director Park wants? In that case, it would be better to bring someone else."

"Who is better than this director on the movie screen right now?"

For a moment, I pointed to Dong-ho Oh, a cinematographer who was at the side of cinematographer Tae-sik Lee, who was gathering equipment.

"Here it is."

CEO Shin Shin-ki rolls his eyes.

what? Who is this little friend?"

Yes. I am young, but I have a lot of experience."

Then I looked at the cinematographer Oh Dong-ho and asked.

"Oh, knight. Aren't you going to grab a camera?

"I, me?"

Yes. Oh, I've seen all the movies the knight has filmed. They all look great."

Let's list the past histories of cinematographer Oh Dong-ho, full of irritation

The expression of CEO Shin Shin-ki, which was his face, begins to change.

Because there is an alternative.

"Then this movie. If you leave it to that friend, there's no problem, right?

Yes. I will take responsibility. Mr. Oh has already worked as a cinematographer for short films more than three times."

CEO Shin Shin-ki nodded.

"Hmm. If Team Leader Jeong guarantees it, then... okay! okay.

CEO Shin Jong-ki believes only in my words and looks at the cinematographer Oh Dong-ho.

"Oh knight. Are you thinking of becoming a cinematographer? Daewoo will match you to the level of the third-year filming director."

"Oh no, that's

"Why don't you? Are you trying to treat me according to my abilities?"

The whole filming team contorts their faces at the ridiculously shocking promotion proposal.

When the youngest was raised as a cinematographer, they thought they were completely ignoring their seniors.

But, I chose only based on ability, not seniority.

At that time, cinematographer Lee Tae-sik raises his voice and starts to attack.

"Representative Shin? Are you really going to be like this? What did that manager say... "

CEO Shin Jong-ki looks at cinematographer Lee Tae-sik with a cold expression.

"Who is Team Leader Jeong? who is who When it comes to box office success, he is the person I trust the most!"

Yes? that, what... "

Cinematographer Lee Tae-sik was perplexed, but CEO Shin Jong-ki did not care.

"And that's it, Director. Let's see

Let's see, do I look like a hot pants wiggle? If I had intervened, I should have made concessions on my own!"

Shin Jong-ki, the CEO of the second-largest Korean movie distribution company, is a member of the chaebol LT Group.

He is greedy for business, so he goes to these sites, but he is a person that ordinary people cannot even look at.

At that moment, Director of Photography Lee Tae-sik makes an awake expression.

If it goes like this, I've only just realized now that I'm in a situation where LT will come to an end in the future.

"Damn, sir that, it's not

La..

"Okay, don't say more."

CEO Shin Jong-ki stopped cinematographer Tae-sik Lee and turned his attention to cinematographer Dong-ho Oh again.

"Oh knight. As you all know, are you willing to take on the role of cinematographer?"

Cinematographer Dong-Ho Oh responds carefully.

lack But I will do my best."

"Chief Jeong recommended it, but it wasn't enough.

is there lee Don't think useless thoughts, only take good care of Director Park. Because that's all I want."

Yes. I will keep that in mind!"

Cinematographer Oh Dong-ho looks at me and bows his head.

On the other hand, cinematographer Lee Tae-sik, unable to contain his anger, trembled, and eventually turned around and kicked the door out.

bang

The old door of Cheonwangsanjang rattles.

After that, with the exception of cinematographer Oh Dong-ho, the entire filming team crouched for the equipment.

I took it and followed the cinematographer Tae-sik Lee.

thud.

After snoring, Shin Jong-ki, the CEO, speaks to the field staff.

now. Now that the situation is over, we have to get things done. Are you on a tight schedule?"

"Oh, yes. CEO.

The staff came to their senses and started heading back to their seats.

* *

Cinematographer Dong-Ho Oh approaches the Steady Cam that Director Tae-Sik Lee took off.

Steadicam is a special equipment that is connected to a shock absorber and a leveling rod to reduce vibration to prevent the camera from shaking during shooting.

Since the entire crew had left, Dong-Ho Oh, now the cinematographer, was trying to put on a dress with a special pedestal by himself.

The staff moved to help

However, before that, I came forward and helped cinematographer Dong-Ho Oh.

Ah. thank you.

no. Director."

"I am not the director. I'm just a cinematographer... "

"Didn't you hear what CEO Shin said earlier? From now on, Dong-Ho Oh will be the cinematographer for 'Giri Mountain'."

"Haha, it's dark. This is my first time on this scale."

"Aside from the fact that it cost a little more to produce, wouldn't it be different? And you only need to take the 'Mt. Jirisan' story road

What are you worried about?"

Director Oh Dong-ho, wearing the equipment, nods his head.

"It's because the continuity came out so well. All right. And there... thank you.

You're welcome. But can I recommend someone holding you from behind?"

In a confined space, wearing Steadicam equipment and moving while looking only at the camera could result in injury.

So, when using Steadicam, there was always one assistant attached to it.

Yes. please.

The moment I got permission from cinematographer Oh Dong-ho, I immediately sang Deokbae.

It was a great opportunity to watch Lee Tae-poong and Ko Jae-soo's performances up close.

"Duckbae. Come on.

Deokbae puts down the tablet he was holding and approaches.

I asked Deokbae to put his hand on the cinematographer's waist, and then I continued explaining.

"During filming, the director

If you don't understand the situation, you might fall. So you put your hand on the director's waist and hold it tight. In the meantime, take a closer look at Typhoon and Jae-soo's acting."

"Yes, bro."

Deok-bae puts his hand on Director Oh Dong-ho's waist with a nervous expression.

Since I was ready, I told Director Park Seon-jae.

"Let's start filming right away, Director."

Director Park Seon-jae nodded and started giving instructions.

all right.

The lighting team and the sound team started setting up again.

After the disappearance of cinematographer Lee Tae-sik, director Park Seon-jae also looked a little nervous.

Now, if I made a mistake, it was because I had to take responsibility for everything myself.

But the original director's position was

it was a seat

This is because he must be able to bear all the burdens imposed on the filming site alone in order to become a full-fledged director.

Director Park Seon-jae took a deep breath and started giving instructions.

"Okay then, let's go to Scene 33."

But it was then.

Director Oh Dong-ho, who was fiddling with the camera, raises his hand.

Director Park Seon-jae makes a puzzled expression.

Yes. Oh, Director."

I I want to lower the light a bit, is that ok?"

The cinematographer not only takes pictures of the subject, but also directs all the scenes, from the surrounding lighting, props, and even the costumes.

That's why it's sometimes called the number 2 on set, but when young cinematographer Oh Dong-ho mentions some of those rights, everyone starts to show interest.

This is because a while ago, cinematographer Lee Tae-sik was kicked out for giving a monthly recommendation.

However, director Park Seon-jae willingly

accepted the offer.

It was a problem to shoot outside of the storyline, not to stop the cinematographer's work.

Yes. As long as you don't leave the continuity."

thank you. However, if I go beyond the director's intentions, please tell me right away."

all right.

After a brief sigh, cinematographer Oh Dong-ho began to give instructions with his eyes flashing.

First up was the lighting team.

"Can you dim the lights a little bit? Director Park."

"Dark?"

Yes. It's a dire situation on Conti Street, but the lighting seems to be too bright. Can you lower it by just 10 lux?"

The lighting director puts on a funny expression.

"If it's about 10 lux, you can do it as a post-correction."

"Because that's not the end."

"Then what else?"

"Just add a couple of more firewood to the brazier, and add a little red tone to the light."

When the youngest cinematographer, who was tidying up the lines, gave instructions one by one like a cinematographer, everyone showed a surprised expression.

Moreover, when I pointed out that the costumes of the two actors were too neat and a little messy, everyone was in admiration.

The lighting director looks at me and smiles.

"Did Team Leader Jeong choose one item correctly?"

How a Pro recognizes a Pro.

From then on, the director of lighting recognized Dong-ho Oh as the cinematographer.

"Lighting Team! From now on, follow Director Oh's advice and move right away! Manho. Add firewood one at a time and check if the color the cinematographer wants comes out."

Yes. Director."

"And what do the prop team and the costume team do without moving quickly? Did you not hear the directions of the cinematographer?"

Yes!

As cinematographer Oh Dong-ho's micro-control continued, the anxiety that cinematographer Tae-sik Lee had disappeared was quickly dissipating.

After a while.

When everything was ready, director Park Seon-jae gave an autograph with an excited expression.

"When you are ready, I will go right away. Scene 33. Ready~ Action!"

As soon as coach Park Seon-jae shouted a shot, he turned his gaze to the monitor.

Again, as I expected.

The video was filmed by cinematographer Dong-ho Oh.

was completely different from that of cinematographer Lee Tae-sik.

Not only did he keep the intention of director Park Seon-jae, but he also added his own color to it, maximizing the tense atmosphere of the storyline.

'It's also Oh Dong-ho.'

When the quality of the image projected on the monitor changes significantly, director Park Seon-jae gives instructions in an excited voice.

"Okay~ Oh, Director. Please hold the face shot a little tighter there. Yes. okay.

Director of Photography Oh Dong-ho

The oyster filled the screen and grabbed the camera.

While the main actor and the main villain are having a conversation, it is clear that they are slowly becoming hostile.

fluttering eyelashes.

The muscles of the temporomandibular joint protrude slightly because of the tightly bitten molars.

Even the movement of the cracked lips that speak slowly.

Because cinematographer Dong-ho Oh focused without missing out on the details, the emotions of Tae-poong Lee and Jae-soo Ko were vividly captured in the video.

After all, changing the cinematographer was a godsend.

Thanks to this, I was able to protect the film of Jirisan and the careers of my actors together.

At that moment, Ahn Yu-joo, the production manager, checks the monitor and raises two thumbs up to me and speaks in the shape of a mouth.

'Thank you, Chief!'
