Chapter 172

Han River Park.

Jiang Wen looked at the parts that were skillfully assembled by the photography team. When fully retracted, it was 3 meters long and weighed nearly [-] tons. He couldn't help but asked curiously: "Rent or buy?"

"Bought it while filming Pirates."

Jiang Wen sighed: "Yixin is really rich, you are too big."

"Film and television companies are not even willing to buy equipment. They are either insincere or small-scale."

Jiang Liu finished his sentence and walked towards Guan Xiaotong who was wearing a life jacket.

"Director Jiang, can you guarantee Xiaotong's safety?" Li Jun was usually very strict with his daughter. Seeing that Guan Xiaotong was about to get into trouble, he couldn't help but worry.

"Don't worry, she was dragged away by force. The lifeboat was four or five positions in front of the camera, and there were photographers following her. There were so many people watching on the shore."

Jiang Liu explained various safety measures to Li Jun. He bent down and put his hands on his knees and told Guan Xiaotong: "Don't struggle in the water. You are already dizzy. You can't speak or move, okay?"

"But I'm afraid that the water will choke me." Guan Xiaotong said crisply.

"If you listen to the martial arts master, you won't choke. Can you do it?"

"let me try."

Jiang Liu rubbed the little girl's head and turned to the tall Mao, who was dressed in all black and acted as a physical monster for the actor: "Be serious and look at the little girl."

"Brother, don't worry, I'm very good at water."

"Okay, get on board."

Jiang Liu nodded to Li Meijing, who was not far away.

After some murmurings between Li Meijing and the government officials of Gwangjin District, where the Han River Park is located, the part of the Han River needed by the crew was temporarily blocked, and tourists who were watching the crew were expelled.

Gao Da Mao and Guan Xiaotong arrived at the predetermined water surface, and the big swing arm was extended thirteen or four meters. The photographer used the walkie-talkie to notify that the shore was in place.

The plot is actually quite simple.

The male protagonist and a group of children feed the monster in the water.

Unexpectedly, this monster in the Han River is not as "shy" as the alien created by Ridley Scott, and likes to hide in the dark and do trouble.

The monsters in the Han River do not respect martial ethics, they will eat people when they come up, and they will chase people openly and openly.

After a chase and massacre, the male protagonist managed to escape, but his daughter was wrapped around the neck by the monster's tail, dragged into the water and lost track of her.

All departments and personnel were in place. Jiang Liu, Bong Junhao, Ning Hao, and the photography director stood behind the monitor and stared at the screen. The recorder made a note and the shooting began.

The shooting after turning on the camera was not as smooth as expected.

The little girl Guan Xiaotong either had water in her ears or had water in her nose and choked her. She tried it four or five times in a row. It was not until just before lunch that she recorded a scene that could be cut into the final film.

"Let Xiaotong stay in the same state and take another picture, then go ashore and buy her two ice creams." Jiang Liu said temptingly.

Children's scenes and animal scenes are the most difficult to film. Intimidation will only be self-defeating, and inducement is one of the few effective methods.

After successfully recording two more pieces, Jiang Liu was extremely satisfied and called it a day before dinner.

The crew's three meals a day, called instant rice, are provided by CJ Group.

The property allocated to Li Meijing's family by the Samsung Group was a sugar factory. Li Meijing's mother took over the sugar factory and expanded it, then gradually developed into the food industry and founded Daxida, White Jade Tofu, Tous Les Jours Bread, etc. Multiple brands.

Later, it entered the feed industry, entertainment industry, hotel industry, and biotechnology pharmaceutical industry.

Because Jiang Liu had paid special attention to "Parasite", he knew that CJ Group's business volume in China would be very large in the future, and there would be dozens of large local feed factories alone.

There are also many bakeries and hotels.

Even CGV Cinemas, a subsidiary of CJ Group, later opened several cinemas in the capital, Shanghai and other places.

After putting the shooting schedule in his pocket, he found a relatively clean lawn and sat down. He opened the lunch box and saw rice with dried tofu and some pickles. Jiang Liu couldn't help but feel bitter.

He used to love eating soy products, but no matter how much he loved it, he couldn't bear to eat it every day.

"Junhao." Li Meijing smiled and held down Bong Joonhao who was about to get up: "Eat."

After "Memories of Murder" was released, she now likes Bong Joon-ho more and more the more she watches it.

The production cost of "Memories of Murder" was only US$300 million. As of today, the number of moviegoers is almost 450 million.

The Korea Development Council stipulates that the viewing price per person is 7000 won, which means that the box office of "Memories of Murder" has reached 315 billion won, US$2419 million.

Bong Joon-ho became a national-level director in South Korea with "Memories of Murder".

Her CJ Entertainment is also making a lot of money.

Of course, Li Meijing likes such a director more and more the more she watches it, which is gratifying.

"It has been more than 2 months since I joined the crew of "Monster". Have you found any shining points in Jiang Liu? Don't underestimate him just because he is younger than you. "The Bandit Running to the Sea" has more than 400 million viewers The number of visitors fully proves that this person is extraordinary.”

"I even doubt that if "The Bandit Running to the Sea" was a Korean movie, the final box office would exceed "Friends" with 800 million viewers and win the box office championship in Korean history."

"Director Jiang's best thing is his rhythm control. He doesn't like to do a lot of long-term preparation before the conflict plot. I saw that Director Jiang Wen had quarreled with him several times about this. He is using the limited space to create a sense of oppression for the audience. He is also very strong in this aspect." Bong Joon Hao smiled innocently at Jiang Liu who looked not far away, and said to Li Meijing: "But I can also do this."

Rhythm control and the use of limited space to create a sense of oppression are the director's own talents. Li Meijing felt that it did not have much reference significance for the development of the film industry and the cultivation of film talents for CJ Entertainment, so she said: "Junhao, tell me some of your most intuitive feelings. .”

"The president should be able to feel most intuitively that there are two aspects that are most difficult to understand about the "Monster" crew."

"One: Finish work on time, work ten hours a day, never delay."

"Two: Except for meal time, no matter day or night, you are not allowed to sit down during the filming. Only the two white special effects directors and the little girl will lie down on the lawn regardless of it. According to my observation, none of the employees brought by Jiang Liu People violate this rule.”

"I have never been to Huaxia. President Li, is the management of the Huaxia crew so strict?"

Li Meijing reacted in an instant: "Yes, yes, no wonder I've been here several times and always feel like something is weird."

"It shouldn't be so strict. What is Jiang Liu's intention for doing this? This will slow down the filming schedule and the cost will be very high. What do you think?"

Bong Joon-ho pondered for a moment and said: "At first, we shot two or three scenes a day, and the progress was really slow. More than ten days ago, the number of scenes began to increase. I don't think the progress will be too slow, and the cost is high and limited."

"I can also guess the reason. Part of it is the extremely complete shooting plan."

"Secondly, it's because the crew has adjusted well in all aspects."

"As for the purpose of not being allowed to sit and rest, I still can't understand it, but I still have to abide by it."

"Yes, what could be the purpose of doing this? Finishing work on time can be said to allow the crew to have a good rest, which is more conducive to work. Can you understand why you are standing?"

Li Meijing's brain twisted into a Sichuan shape and she still couldn't figure it out. She gave up for the time being and said, "You can eat and listen more to Jiang Liu's tone. I'll go talk to Dou Na too."

"Director Oppa, can you sign your autograph for me?"

Jiang Liu looked at the little girl and said, "I can only write Chinese."

"Thank you Oppa, your Korean is so good."

Jiang Liu put down the shooting schedule and said modestly: "Only a little bit."

He has been in South Korea for more than two months, and his Korean and English have improved rapidly. By the time he returns to China after filming, he should have a good command of both languages.

In order not to expose his terrifying language talent, he already needs to stumble every day to hide the truth.

After signing several children's names in succession, Jiang Liu habitually picked up the shooting schedule and lay down straight back.

"Huh? The sky is pink?"

Jiang Liu sat up in an instant, raising the hem of his white skirt slightly, and said "Ah Xi."

Turning around and looking behind him, he looked around again and found that not many people paid attention to the scene just now. Jiang Liu couldn't help but said sullenly: "Why do you always get bad things when I meet you? I almost became a trapper. I don't understand." Right, it means a pervert. Although I am perverted, I don’t want to be a beast.”

"You're right. I'm always unlucky when I meet you. I almost say bad words again."

Son Ye-jin held her skirt and complained angrily to Guojiangliu. Her face turned curious, and she asked with a thirst for knowledge: "What's going on next?"

Jiang Liu was not interested in talking to each other and kept talking to himself. He waved his hand to signal Son Yejin to stand aside. He didn't want to be irritated by the pink panties anymore.

"whispering sound"

Son Ye-jin walked aside disdainfully and looked at the huge platform with a large stable swing arm on the edge of the Han River.

She has filmed several movies, and this is the first time she has seen such a large filming equipment.

"Yan Zhen, what are you looking at?"

"Sister Doona, are you an actor in this crew?"

"Yes." Bae Douna pointed to Jiang Liu who was holding the shooting schedule on the ground: "This is Director Jiang of our crew."

"Director Jiang, Yan Jin is also an actor from Chungmuro." Bae Doona pulled Son Ye Jin and sat down on Jiang Liu's camping cloth.

Son Ye Jin whispered in Bae Doona's ear: "Sister Doona, Yeon Jin is a name for someone close to you."

Jiang Liu didn't care about the Chungmulu actors, and he was not a Korean filmmaker. He asked, "Doona, what's the matter?"

"Ask Director Jiang what you want to eat tonight, I'll treat you."

"why?"

"Last time, the tall and hairy oppa invited me to drink soju. I knew it was the money from Director Jiang, so I invited him back."

"It makes sense. Let's eat BBQ. Go to the Pork and Beef BBQ restaurant in Euljiro. Last time we paid and left without eating a few bucks."

Jiang Liu spoke a long paragraph in Korean and English. Son Yejin couldn't quite understand what he said, but she understood the Pork and Beef Barbeque Restaurant and couldn't help but let out a "boo".

"OK, Yan Zhen, let's go together tonight."

Before Son Ye-jin could refuse, Bae Doo-na already stood up and walked towards Bong Joon-ho.
