All-Round Genius Who Eats Talent

110. Annals of Joseon Ghosts (2)

Drama filming, of course, does not proceed in order. If so, it would be very inefficient. Of course, there are movies and dramas that are filmed in order considering the emotions of the actors, but at least this wasn’t the case.

The first scene to be filmed is rather the last scene of the first episode. The first was the scene where the ghost appeared. Demons attacking the village and the people running away. And three characters appeared. It was the beginning of a serious story.

It was supposed to be a very difficult filming because CG was going to be used, so the acting had to be performed in empty space, but since it was the first filming, the spirit of the cast was not normal.

“The shot goes in! Quiet everyone!”

With the cry of the assistant director, the filming set became quiet, and the actors in the angle worked hard while waiting for Na Young-jin’s cry. Because I have to pour all my energy into acting with shouts.

“Ready-action!”

Houses were burned, and the people ran furiously through the alleys, chased by invisible ghosts.

“aaagh-!”

“Save people!!”

Screams rang out and someone was attacked by something invisible and fell down vomiting blood.

“…”

After the performance, Na Young-jin recalled the video she had just taken and opened her mouth with a deep smile.

“Cut! OK!”

Along with Na Young-jin’s cry, the staff vigorously clapped their hands. It was an applause for the OK sign that came out at once.

It was also an act that came out of the superstition that if it ended as well as it was the first filming, the drama would go smoothly in the future.

“I’ll take a shot otherwise!”

A rail was laid on one side of the drama, and the same scene was repeated once again to move and take pictures of the fleeing people.

“Cut-! OK! good!”

A series of OK’s that follow. There’s a chance that a mistake will happen or you’ll have to reshoot because you don’t like the acting. Na Young-jin and Song Jae-ik repeatedly shouted “cut” in any situation, checked the video once, and immediately shouted ok.

Rather, it was the production crew and actors who were puzzled by this situation. Because it was so fast that I wondered if it could be like this.

‘He’s real. you’re born A real genius.’

But what surprised me the most right now was none other than Na Young-jin.

Before filming, the two of them shared opinions on how to film the drama while writing the storyboard.

Song Jae-ik also actively talked about what the script he wrote meant, and Na Young-jin also talked about how to film it.

Substituting the completed storyboard and today’s shooting scene, the two matched perfectly.

Since the guidelines were completed, there was no hesitation in taking additional shots or shooting, except for NGs where lines were cut or mistakes occurred.

It was because the storyboard had already completed how to film and compose this first episode.

“Hey! good! If I shoot like this, I will shoot one episode a week instead of six months! The actors are doing so well. I’m going to rest for a while!”

“I’ll take a break!”

“Brother, let’s go and get some rest.”

At Na Young-jin’s cry, the crew put down the equipment for a while and the actors scattered one by one. Sung Joon-sik also moved to one side of the set with Jin Kyu-hyuk. Even if you take a break, it’s difficult to rest comfortably because of your clothes.

– Junshik, how is the atmosphere there? What is my director style?

– Misty’s atmosphere is the best. Song writer’s script is really amazing. As rumored.

time to take a break. When I checked the text messages from here and there, they all had a lot of questions about the drama.

How is the mood? How about director Na Young-jin? What about writer Song Jae-ik?

‘Good… me? They say it looks good.’

Sung Joon-sik has been living in the drama industry for over ten years, and he often felt the same way when filming a drama.

No matter how good the script is, there are times when I feel that it will be difficult when I start filming, and when I read the script, I am confused, but when I start filming, there is a feeling that it will turn out well.

However, it seemed that this work could not be easily concluded. Because I didn’t feel anything at all.

The script was definitely awesome. Filming was unusually fast. The atmosphere on set was perfect.

The chemistry between the production team and the actors is not bad either. Usually, the feeling that this is good should come strongly.

“I don’t know either.”

Seong Jun-sik didn’t know what to answer and just turned off his phone screen.

—

Unlike the decision to become a villain who took a passive part in directing the script I wanted as a writer, the Annals of the Ghosts of Joseon took part in various places from the beginning, so of course there were difficulties, but at the same time, there were definitely new feelings.

Because it was a completely new experience. From the props in the video to the costumes and the acting of the actors.

“I think it would be nice to feel like this here. Commonly speaking, it is the feeling of a crown prince who is angry with a ruler who ignores reality. My eyes are urgent right now. People are dying right in front of your eyes. Is that real in this meeting? isn’t it a lie It’s a situation where only nonsense comes out, like the situation was created to take advantage of it politically.”

At Jaeik’s words, Sung Junshik nodded. Maybe because it was easy to explain, I felt like I knew exactly what the camera felt like.

“With clenched fists! The anxiety of the people is getting deeper day by day! What the hell are you guys doing!”

As soon as Jaeik’s performance unfolded, the eyes of the actors watching the performance instantly shone. Because the vocalization, eyes, and acting just now weren’t normal. It was a moment, but it was enough to feel the crown prince Song Jae-ik drew.

“It’s such a feeling. Rather than desperately, just-just-cut off. Just like grit your teeth and endure anger.”

“Uh… where did you learn acting?”

“ah. I learned a little from Jeongyeon.”

“no wonder. But are you really good at acting?”

Sung Jun-sik nodded his head in surprise. Because Jeongyeon wasn’t an ordinary actress either.

“ah. The rest were the same. The important thing is how you use this situation to your advantage and to the faction you belong to. I think it should be given the feeling that people’s livelihood is taking a back seat. And whatever the crown prince says, he just puts on an uncomfortable expression. That kind of discomfort facing reality.”

“yes! All right!”

When the advice was over and he sat in the director’s seat outside the angle, Na Young-jin looked at Jae-ik with a curious look.

“You are real. He’s good at acting too. Didn’t you learn from Jeongyeon while filming my winter vacation?”

“Yes? Where else would I learn to act?”

In response, Na Young-jin’s expression turned strange. In an instant, the entertainment director’s senses jumped out.

“Jaeik, aren’t you popular on You Tube?”

“Yes? Because it has over 6 million subscribers.”

“then. How about this? You’re a cameo. Even if you can’t see your face. etc., it doesn’t matter Do you think it would be okay to hold a simultaneous screening of one episode by renting a theater on a first-come, first-served basis to the right person at the right place and at the right time?”

“Hoo?”

It seemed fine. It’s not like I’m acting anyway, it’s literally just a cameo here and there.

“Would that be fun?”

Eom Kang-seok, who was listening to this, asked about the development of a nutube distance, and even the actors expressed curiosity.

It was just one line, but I was curious. Did writer Song Jae-ik’s acting really shine with just that once? Or do you really have a talent for acting?

“What do you think? call?”

Jaeik was sure that Na Youngjin’s proposal was okay, but he felt strongly that he shouldn’t be able to say “OK” easily.

Anyway, for the sake of the drama, is there anything special?

“call! instead. If you’re going to do it, sure!”

One day while filming for a drama was in full swing.

“What is the title?”

“The Joseon Exorcist.”

Na Young-jin raised her eyebrows at the news the assistant director had asked. Doesn’t it seem clear that it will overlap with their drama just by hearing the title? Even the same subject at the same time.

“Damn it. This is a joke.”

”It is scheduled to air on MBS in March. Maybe it overlaps with us.”

“Whoa. It’s not like it can overlap, it overlaps, unconditionally. uh! All in all! First of all, I’ll look around once in a while. Even if it’s not detailed, rumors will definitely circulate, even if it’s roughly.”

Na Young-jin hurriedly contacted his acquaintances at the station. If it aired in March, MBS would be in production right now. You may know the news.

“it’s okay. Whether it’s terrestrial or whatever, I’m sure our drama will be better.”

“Still, it’s obvious that people’s eyes will be focused on terrestrial broadcasters. We have to hit hard from the beginning.”

“The ratings that should go up are bound to go up, right? And while we have the domestic market as well, there is a difference in that we are aiming for the overseas market at the same time.”

They are cable dramas, and Joseon Exorcist is terrestrial.

No matter how good they were, if they didn’t gain momentum in the beginning, it would be fatal. Moreover, if it is a drama aiming for the same target audience.

That’s why drama production is cruising right now, the atmosphere on set is good, and even if Jae-Ik tells me not to worry, there is bound to be anxiety.

Wei Ying-

“uh? contacted me.”

Na Young-jin received a call from a colleague and made a mysterious expression. But first of all, that was definitely not a positive expression.

“why? What’s with that expression?”

“The actors are really the best. Park Jin-ha in a drama comeback after 3 years. No other cast is missing. Even the idol actors were properly arranged. This is to say that I will give you strength and push you.”

“Hehe. Is that Park Jin-ha? I haven’t taken a single picture in years. Why are you suddenly jumping out of here?”

“So. Ah-oh! Looks like you really poured some MBS money into it.”

At Na Young-jin’s words, the other staff members made a fuss and stamped their feet. He was good at acting, but he was a very popular actor.

Among the middle-aged, when the face of Park Jin-ha comes out, don’t they put down the remote control they were trying to turn?

“ah. It’s already publicity.”

When everyone was talking about the Joseon Exorcite. The assistant director held out his cell phone.

[MBS Chosun Exorcist in production! Another K-Zombie Syndrome following the Mflix Kingdom!]

[Succeeded in selling billions of overseas copyrights even before airing!]

[MBS] ‘We will continue to challenge ourselves as a broadcasting station. This Joseon Exorcist will definitely be a fresh and shocking attempt. I’m sure it will show new fun to viewers.’]

The expressions of the production crew watching the news all rotted away, but the only one was Song Jae-ik.

Jaeikman laughed as if it had nothing to do with it. No matter who the opponent is, where they do it, and how much they pour.

Because I never thought I would lose. No, it was rather interesting. I wondered what kind of grades I would be able to achieve with such a handicap.
