Chapter 171 Who Is Down? (Part 2) (Twelve Thousand)(1/2)
ps: 10,000 update, so it's gone tonight... Uh, that's it.
For the crew, in order to make a movie, they bought an old independent villa in Jeju Island, including the surrounding land, and even built a new one... This is indeed a bit luxurious or abrupt expense. You should know that generally, such low-cost urban romance films mostly use rental for real estate, and it is really a bit too much to buy directly.
However, the whole movie is actually only a little "excessive" expense. The original expense is the main part, that is, the rental and use of university campuses did not cost a penny! And it was easy and extremely pleasant.
By the way, Ube applied to Seoul University in early July, but less than half a day later, the other party gave a very enthusiastic reply:
First of all, people came up and said that this time the money would not be charged. At the same time, the school was willing to take the initiative to help the crew organize the school’s performing student groups during the summer vacation, so that they could take on the responsibility of campus drama extras. In fact, the reply document also attached a list of real professors of Seoul University’s "Introduction to Architecture" course. The meaning was very clear. If you like, tell us, let’s contact us in the center, so that he could play the supporting role of the professor!
There are many reasons for such a good atmosphere.
One reason for this is naturally the role of the appendix script in the application, the pure and realistic campus love story, the real and helpless middle-aged state, and the slightest sense of social criticism, but it has never left the scope of the love story itself, which should be very in line with the tastes of those people in college.
Secondly, Kim Jong-ming and Kim Tae-hee are both celebrity students at Seoul University, and they are their own people. And these two have contributed a lot to the image of Seoul University. Now they have worked together for the first time, and there is also a scene of campus love. It is natural to choose the old teaching building of Seoul University as a shooting base. There is really no reason to get bored with others.
The last and most important one, don’t forget Kim Jong-ming’s educational charity commitment of 10 billion per teaching building a year! Seoul University is the second university to accept donations, and because it is Kim Jong-ming’s alma mater, it has received a larger number. Damn the money is still hot now. What’s the reason to make people more trouble? How good are you taking this opportunity to hold an art performance? Hello, I, Hello, everyone, what are you wearing a bad air?!
Most of the time, this is actually the case. When the most difficult parts seem to be solved, the whole thing seems to be smooth and even as you wish...
The cooperation of Seoul University is refreshing, and the old house on Jeju Island has finally been made. So soon, at the beginning of August, with the start of several indoor scenes of Kim Jong-ming and Kim Tae-hee, the whole movie has actually officially started filming!
There is no worship of pig heads, and no opening press conference. It starts in a simple way, just like the feeling of reunion of first love in middle age in the plot.
This shooting sequence is not only because Jiyeon has not come back in Japan, but more importantly, Kim Tae-hee is also a long-famous vase in South Korea. Perhaps the performance intensity will never be related to her, but it shows the mature charm of a woman in her thirties, such as standing in an old house near the seaside in Jeju Island to show femininity in her camera with certain actions, or posing a slightly melancholy and helpless expression in the cafe, or being drunk at the small port of Jeju Island... This is always her strength! Therefore, choosing to let Kim Jong-ming and Kim Tae-hee plays as the starting point of the filming is undoubtedly hope that this smooth start will make the shooting of the whole movie rhythmic and smooth.
In fact, this shooting sequence has indeed had a good effect. It can even be said that the cooperation between Kim Jong-ming and Kim Tae-hee has an indescribable good chemical effect!
After all, in this movie, the role played by Kim Tae-hee doesn’t require much effort. What the movie needs is her beauty that is close and helpless. The beauty of the picture shown by this goddess of beauty is destined to become a kind of beauty that the audience can’t let go and describe!
In addition, Kim Jong-ming also experienced the acting exercises in "Uncle" and "The Furnace", which made the middle-aged men's expressions look relaxed and relaxed. The wrinkled corners of the eyes and the face that were not decorated but appeared clean, and the eyebrows occasionally felt worried about life... In short, various factors made the cooperation between the two almost natural.
So, shortly after the filming started, Kim Tae-hee, who was rarely involved in the filming realm, even took the initiative to take on the costume design of the heroine in the movie! Don’t forget that Kim Jong-ming, a senior sister, is a major in the costume design of Seoul! At first, she was only responsible for the clothes she wore in the movie, but gradually she began to design clothes for Ji Yeon, Kim Jong-ming, and Kim Soo-hyun according to the script... This undoubtedly further demonstrates her commitment.
Of course, things cannot be completely smooth. On August 20, Girls' Generation under the reception of Mrs. Lee Myung-bo, a one-day tour of the Blue House. The next day Tara temporarily returned to Japan (the transportation is convenient anyway). I guess I felt that if I want to continue to catch up, I had to start from the film and television aspect, so I don't know when others will continue to go to Japan, but the itinerary of the little dinosaur was completely readjusted and arranged. In other words, Ji Yeon came to the crew to report in advance. And with the little dinosaur's return to the team, new problems immediately emerged.
But to be honest, the new problems this time were actually expected by the crew core members, that is, Ji Yeon, who had a very poor acting level, could find it difficult to adapt to the current atmosphere and acting height of the crew.
"Stop! Ji Yeon..." A week later, at the foot of Guanyue Mountain, at the entrance of the old teaching building of the Department of Architecture of Seoul University, Kim Jong-ming had already called for a stop for the seventh time in this scene. However, this time he did not stop at the distance to guide him, but took the initiative to walk towards Ji Yeon, as if he was going to teach by words and deeds.
"Ji Yeon... let's say that, you have to understand what kind of image you want to show in this scene." Kim Jong-ming pointed to Kim Soo-hyun and several supporting roles and said. "Unlike the love scenes I filmed in the previous week, in those scenes you were either simply in love or had some scheming to hit Shengmin. But in this scene, your image is split, because at this time you were just appearing, and we had to move to this point because we needed extras to shoot."
"I don't understand..." Ji Yeon was obviously nervous. "I didn't copy Soo Hyun's oppa, but what I heard about was just watching the smoking tin oppa."
"I don't mean that." Kim Jong-ming continued to explain helplessly. "So, the actions before and after in this scene are different. One is the country girl Ruiying who covets her seniors, and the other is the cold goddess. I know why you don't understand, because I have talked to you about the drama before and talked about the image and context of the character Ruiying. But you have to know that you are not real you in this scene, or not just real you, because when you say goodbye in the second half, from that camera position, you are actually in the perspective of the male protagonist Shengmin at first sight. In his eyes, you are the cold goddess! If you really don't understand, you can think that the situation you lowered your head and smiled and said goodbye was actually the goddess style that Shengmin imagined in his mind!"
Ji Yeon was still confused and even a little scared because, as Kim Jong-ming said, this was a scene with many acts, but she had already ng it 7 times.
"Then forget it, do it with me!" Jin Zhongming pulled the other party back to the entrance of the teaching building, and really wanted to teach it step by step. "Hold the book, straighten your body, and slowly walk forward... Yes, that's it! Then stop here... Remember, you are a female college student from the countryside with a strong sense of self-esteem, and then you see the senior... At this time, you only have the senior in your eyes, and you become...uh, a little scheming. You looked for a long time... and found that the other party had not left, then you put your legs together, gently turned around, and smiled... and called the tall, rich and handsome senior...'That, oppa'... Then after the conversation with the senior, when I give you a signal, your expressions should be more restrained and your movements should be more reserved...'I'm leaving'... Do you understand?"
Jiyeon nodded repeatedly.
"That's good." Jin Zhongming snapped his fingers. "Don't be stressed... All departments are in place, do it again, and the students are working hard... and lunch boxed with chicken legs!"
There was a burst of laughter. The college student extras who were so idle during the summer vacation immediately echoed like a cheer.
With Kim Jong-ming's advice on almost every move, Ji-yeon finally succeeded in this scene (actually what she didn't know was that the look she stared at the senior was obviously not scheming enough, but Kim Jong-ming had decided to blur it in the later editing). Of course, no matter what, Kim Jong-ming's wave still had a good effect... By the way, Kim Jong-ming learned this from Tsui Hark. Mr. Xu has a treasure. No matter what it is, he can draw it vividly. Then whether it is a technician, an actor or a staff member, he can react at once... Correspondingly, Kim Jong-ming doesn't have this ability, but he can't resist being an actor. At worst, he can just show it on his own!
This is probably a unique skill among Korean directors.
"It's really not easy to be a director." While eating lunch boxes in the free classroom at noon, several young actors couldn't help discussing what had just happened.
"Yes, the actress's scenes are actually going to show off in person. The eyes of her legs together make me feel weak." The rich and handsome senior played Liu Yanxi, who couldn't help but agree. "It's really amazing!"
"It's not just that!" someone interrupted. "And, director Kim Jong-ming himself still has to act with Senior Kim Tae-hee there? This is really hard..."
"Would you be fine if you listen to me?" The one who was talking at the beginning was Cao Zhengshi, the third male actor. "I mean that, isn't there any chance this morning? I just went to help Deputy Director Lee Yong-joo move the camera, and I happened to hear Director Kim Jong-ming talking to Ji Yeon's agent..." Speaking of this, Cao Zhengshi couldn't help but shook his head. "He asked Park Ji-yeon's agent not to over-control the other party's appetite, and not to make her so hungry... It was said that the movie image was not an idol image, but too thin would be bad... It also ensured sleep, which made Ji-yeon's face look a little healthy and bloody! You said... do you really have to be a director?"
"I think it's still necessary." Someone immediately expressed his opinion. "Don't the director just take into account all aspects that affect the shooting effect? The more he takes into account, the more famous he is, the more he is a famous director, and on the contrary, he is a young director."
"So, everyone is about the same age, and we are still striving for the identity of the starring actor, and they are not only the starring actors but also the director, but also the trilogy." Yoo Yanxi was really moved. "This is not without a reason!"
Everyone said it and said it. Everyone was young actors of similar age, and they were having a lot of fun chatting. But among them, Kim Soo-hyun, who should be the core of this group of young male actors, always lowered her head and ate without saying a word. He has this kind of personality in private, quiet, and actually feels a bit consolate... However, many famous actors have consolate personalities, and don’t know what’s going on.
However, eating quietly does not mean that you have nothing to do to find him. At this moment, a field steward suddenly appeared not far away and waved to him: "So Hyun... the director called you!"
Kim Soo-hyun stood up in a daze, quickly put down the lunch box and ran over, and then came back for a quarter of an hour.
"What's wrong with this?" Yoo Yeon-seok, who was already holding the second lunch box, couldn't help but ask. "What did the director tell you?"
"Director Kim Jong-ming said to me..." Kim Soo-hyun picked up the lunch box again in a daze. "It is actually very easy for a good actor to play his role well, but it is not qualified to call him a good actor only if he plays his role well. Because a good actor has the obligation to drive his roles to perform well. At the very least, he must let the actors who play with him follow his steps and not fall behind. In this way, he can fully demonstrate his efforts and acting skills to the audience and colleagues in the industry..." After retelling this, Kim Soo-hyun held the lunch box and asked. "Is this a criticism? Isn't it a good match for me as a partner in the rival scene?... Today, Ji-yeon ng it 7 times, and I and Ben didn't help me!"
"I wish I could have such criticism!" Cao Zhengshi replied in a complicated mood. "This is obviously more anticipation, right? If you don't treat you as a so-called 'good actor', how could you tell you this?"
People around him nodded.
Kim Soo-hyun thought for a while and nodded.
However, this introverted and slutty "good actor" seed didn't tell the truth, or he didn't actually repeat Kim Jong-ming's words!
In fact, Kim Jong-ming just told him: If this actor still has the ambition to become the core of a movie, he must do his best to take care of all aspects of the entire crew while being a good actor.
"I thought about it, let's go and have a meal with Jiyeon, and then follow the lines of the evening." After thinking carefully about the word "core lead", Kim Soo-hyun finally stood up with the already cold lunch box.
His expression was still cold and unpretentious, but it was obvious that he could still listen to Kim Jong-ming's words.
"Go, go!" Others responded indifferently. In Korea, eating without companions would be a very bad behavior. Correspondingly, leaving without authorization at least requires clarity of the reason.
But... ten minutes later, Kim Soo-hyun walked back expressionlessly again, and the lunch box in her hand was obviously not missing much.
"What's wrong with this?" After dinner, the male actors who were obviously ready to take a nap while the hottest summer days stared at him speechlessly.
"I'm not embarrassed to go." Kim Soo-hyun's expression finally became vivid. "I spent a while to find out that when the director was looking for me, someone came to Ji Yeon's class. She was her teammate. Now the two are having dinner in the garden there..."
"What's so embarrassed about this?" Cao Zhengshi asked in confusion. "Didn't you have a good relationship with the person in that group? You've acted in TV series with...uh, Miss Han Enjing?"
"I don't know the people who came this time." Kim Soo-hyun responded helplessly. "And I... just found Ji Yeon crying. To be honest, I'm not very good at coaxing girls, and I'm still at this age... What's more, there is already a teammate with her who is comforting her."
Several male actors nodded perfunctorily together, and soon forgot about this matter that had nothing to do with them. After all, the fatigue of summer and the coolness of the old classroom made people unable to stop, and soon everyone fell asleep on the table.
Kim Soo-hyun originally wanted to finish the meal here, but when she saw the slump in front of her, she had to run outside the door and squat in the corridor before fiddling with the meal!
In the afternoon of summer, the sun is fierce, but there is no wind at all. In a pavilion with a green belt at the foot of Guanyue Mountain, there are crowing crows of cicadas.
At this moment, the little dinosaur who is usually stupid and silly today has a different image, with long hair draped over her shoulders, a plaid top, and a plain white skirt that is neither long nor short... More importantly, the face does not have much makeup, and it feels like not applying makeup. And now it is lying on the stone table with pear blossoms and rain, really looks like a goddess.
Sitting opposite her was Park Soo-yeon, who was wearing white shirt and jeans and had a little facial paralysis, which was the unfamiliar Tara member who came to visit the set today. Uh, then, when Zhao Yeon looked at her busy-nei at this moment, her expression was quite cold. If the little dinosaur was not very familiar with the other person and knew that it was facial paralysis, she would probably think that the other person was despising him!
"Why didn't Oni comfort me?" Even so, after crying for a while, the little dinosaur finally couldn't help but wipe away his tears and asked.
"I don't know how to comfort you!" Zhao Yan answered very quickly. She not only said the name of Zhao Yan because she said a lot of nonsense, but also because she dared to say anything. It's very important, but also because she said it very quickly. "Because I don't understand why you are crying now! Someone bullies you? Which scene has not passed? Or... what to do with what?"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to act well in the future!" Ji Yeon's tears came down again. "I heard before I came that the other three people played very well. I knew I was the one who dragged my back. As expected, I got more times when I came up than the other three people... "
"Isn't there Zhong Ming?" Zhaoyan persuaded weakly. "I heard about what happened just now... He ended up teaching you step by step, right? Then it's over."
"This is what I fear the most." Ji Yeon lowered his head and explained. "The burden on people is too heavy. This movie is not a summer horror movie, but a movie that ends the Joon Ming Oppa's love trilogy. Everyone is at the same level as "Those Years". And Oppa has been taking care of me like this, not only insisting on letting me play this role but also teaching me step by step... What should I do if I don't act well at that time? Will I be embarrassed to see him again in the future?"
"Ah!" Zhaoyan finally couldn't help but sighed to the sky with a vivid expression. "Actually... I knew you would ask this, but I didn't know how to answer... Jiyan, I can only say that you don't cry, it's useless to cry. Let's be good kids, just be obedient and act? Everything is there for you director!"
Now Ji Yeon felt even more aggrieved, but Park Soyoon was aware of this girl and had prepared for her when she came. She flipped through her big bag. Sure enough, a box of exquisitely-looking puffs was placed on the table in the pavilion: "Come on, eat quickly, the sun is dry for a while, I want to cry and cry after eating, don't waste it! Ah?"
Sure enough, at this time, the advantages of foodie attributes were undoubtedly revealed. After all, the little dinosaur was just a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old. In the face of delicious food, she quickly forgot her worries and burdens, and instead took on desserts wholeheartedly.
Kim Jong-ming, who had just finished some things, came to the pavilion in this situation. After all, Director Kim is very experienced, so how could he not notice the psychological ups and downs of the actors? To be honest, this situation... was long before he expected.
"Are you crying?" Kim Jong-ming casually sat on the stone stool next to Zhao Yeon.
Zhaoyan nodded immediately, while the little dinosaur looked at Kim Jong-ming at a loss, with at least two puffs stuffed in his mouth...
"How long have you cried?" Kim Jong-ming continued to ask jokingly, and also reached out to grab a puff.
"Ten minutes?" Zhaoyan replied unconfidently. "Or it's only five minutes... how can such a thing be timed?"
The little dinosaur was even more at a loss, but soon swallowed the puffs in his mouth and continued to catch two.
"That's good!" Kim Jong-ming swallowed a puff and comforted her with a smile. "Ji-yeon, don't think too much, and don't have too much burden. Being responsible is a good thing, but how many times you act can meet the requirements, and what others will think of it actually varies from person to person. For example, for me and senior Kim Tae-hee, if it's a simple literary drama three or four times in a row, everyone will feel something is wrong, because everyone's expectations for us are there. But you are different. Everyone knows that you are an idol, and you think that every scene is very hard, so how can you complain because you have a few more times? Be good, ah? Just be obedient and act seriously!"
Jiyeon nodded repeatedly.
"That's good." Kim Jong-ming continued to smile and comfort. "After eating this box of puffs, you will find a nap in the classroom. At three o'clock, your agent will call you up and memorize the lines. It's the line about how fair it is to do homework and how to call it... Don't forget that in the evening, we still have a scene in the old community outside the school!"
Ji Yeon nodded again, and immediately picked up the dessert box on the table and turned away. I don’t know if it was because he was worried that his puffs would be eaten too much by Kim Jong-ming or because he was particularly Kim Jong-ming’s words.
Of course, Zhaoyan must have thought it was the latter: "Do you feel it? Our family is very obedient and very well-behaved in front of you."
Kim Jong-ming didn't make any sound.
"Why don't you talk?" Zhaoyan asked while taking out a box of puffs from her big shoulder bag. "This box is for you."
"It's rare!" Kim Jong-ming expressed a little surprise, but he was not too polite... Others went to have dinner after filming the movie, but he kept busy and dragging it down until now.
"I asked you why you didn't speak." Zhaoyan asked helplessly. "I said that this little dinosaur in our family, who is well-behaved like a little rabbit in front of you...what happened?"
"I can't be well-behaved for a few days." Kim Jong-ming responded with some emotion. "Ji Yeon has also celebrated her 18th birthday and is here to 19... Is she considered an adult? She immediately released two albums and sang a few sexy songs, and performed two TV series and reported several scandals... Basically, she wouldn't have such a kind of well-behaved feeling."
"I'm a little unanswered." Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, but she could only say that. "Or maybe I don't want to say it, after all, her strange sense of trust in you should be from..."
Jin Zhongming glared at the other party lightly.
"Forget it." Park Soo-yeon sighed a little. "Although he answered the question, it was a huge truth, because no matter why she trusted you, or whether she would continue to trust you so much in the future, but when she really grew up, as time passed, the form of trust would definitely change... People have different thoughts and behaviors at different times..."
Kim Jong-ming couldn't help but smile: "When I came to Seoul University, I became very literary..."
Zhao Yeon couldn't help laughing: "Yes, I, a little high school student, actually reasoned to you? But when it comes to this... Zhong Ming, do you think the world is really unfair? Putting aside the person who wanted to be an idol from the beginning, I also know many classmates. They work the same hard, but some can only go to high school, while some can go to Seoul University..."
To be continued...
