Set of 'Drug Dealer,' Suncheon
Filming for 'Drug Dealer' was already underway in a large set complex filled with period buildings and houses, evoking the feel of the 1990s.
"Cut!" I couldn't hear the line right now, so I'll save it and return!
There are numerous cameras, lighting, and audio equipment for each purpose, led by director Kim Do-hee, who still looks strong. Dozens of employees surrounded the devices.
The actors were divided into two groups: those who observed and those who acted.
The amusing thing is.
"But who exactly are they?"
"Representatives from the distributor and the production company."
"ah-"
A large number of people arrived at the scene today. The reason they appeared unexpectedly when they were not normally present was simple.
"Because the situation is so dire, I'm probably contemplating watching Kang Woo-jin arrive today."
"Are you concerned?"
"That may be true, but aren't you looking at the big picture?"
To meet Kang Woo-jin personally. This was significant because the production company is the production company and the distributor is the distribution company.
In this manner.
"Excellent! Cut cut!"
The previous scene was approved by director Kim Do-hee. He then gave the assistant director instructions.
"How about we take a 10-minute break?"
"Yep!" I'll take a 10-minute break and then I'm out!!
At the assistant director's command, the crew dashed to the filming location, while people gathered around director Kim Do-hee, who sat in front of three monitors.
They worked for a production or distribution company.
"Director, isn't it time for Kang Woo-jin to arrive?"
Director Kim Do-hee nodded in response to the question.
"I was told it would be there in 10 minutes."
Several people soon expressed their concern.
"Now that today has arrived, I've been thinking a lot about whether it's really okay."
"It was a bit of an adventure, because since Kang Woo-jin has been hot recently, the public will be aggressively attracted to him, but the time to prepare was a bit short." "After 3 weeks... would we have properly analyzed the role of 'Lee Sang-man' in 3 weeks?
Director Kim Do-hee, who was brushing his rough hair, also sighed quietly.
"I have to trust Woojin. I had great confidence at the time of the meeting. It's not Woojin's fault even if the result is disappointing. Even if the acting quality is a little low due to a lack of time, it's our fault. Above all, you can't find an actor who speaks Japanese as well as Woojin."
"That's correct."
The faces of employees from various production and distribution companies were obscured by darkness. Because I have yet to encounter Kang Woo-jin. Kang Woo-jin was just a bright rookie to them.
"Ah, I heard the director is changing the role of 'Lee Sang-man' today? Wouldn't it be best to cancel that as well?"
"If it becomes too much for me, I'm thinking about taking it out."
"No, well, I know Kang Woo-jin's acting skills from Hanryang, but a few weeks is too short, and it's also a difficult role. "No matter how tough he is, he's a rookie, so if you push her too hard, he'll definitely break."
Everyone seemed to be thinking something.
"You just imagine yourself playing the role of 'Lee Sang-man' all the way through, director."
It was already an adventurous cast, so let's avoid any further challenges and instead concentrate on covering up the problem. However, director Kim Do-hee, who enjoys creative challenges, was not pleased.
'I'm too preoccupied with fluttering. I'll look after it. 'Why are you guys acting this way? '
While he was grumbling inwardly, a distribution company executive abruptly changed the subject to Kang Woo-jin.
"However, after conducting some research in Hanryang, I discovered that Kang Woo-jin ate foreign food?"
Director Kim Do-hee, who wrote the scenario, responded quickly.
"Oh, that'd be Japanese."
"huh? Isn't it true? "I heard from a Hanryang's production company acquaintance that it had to be in an English-speaking country?
"Speak fluent in English?"
"Yes, they say that his English is at the level of a local?" Woojin's English was praised by the foreign staff.
A dozen staff members were buzzing around us, and there was a key tap to join the conversation: he was a lighting director.
"Uh oh, I heard that too. I'm close with lighting director Hanryang. You're from an overseas group. What did Woojin say?""
"What, everyone was interested in Kang Woo-jin and inquired?
"Ah, you're right. Isn't it true that the production companies are all the same? "I'm sure everyone was concerned and investigated it, right?"
"However, Hollywood has gone a little too far."
Actors gradually joined in.
"I heard that, despite being a rookie, he doesn't look like one at all. "Do you think my mindset is different because I eat foreign food?
Regardless of whether the role is primary or secondary.
"That friend Kang Woo-jin said directly at the Hanryang reading that he taught himself acting."
"That's not making any sense."
"What? "The character is so ridiculous?
"Just a rookie's spirit? Bluff?" "I guess it's something like that."
It was around this time.
"Director!! Kang Woo-jin has finally arrived!! "
The staff's shouts on Director Kim Do-hee's walkie-talkie spread loudly, along with a sign announcing the arrival of popular rookie Kang Woo-jin. Director Kim Do-hee soon stood up.
So, after some time.
Kang Woo-jin arrived at the filming location a few minutes later. The staff's passing glances weighed heavily on Woojin.
'Wait, why are they staring at me like this?
The more they did, the more serious Woojin's poker face became, and director Kim Do-hee dashed in front of him.
"Hello, Mr. Woojin!"
Kang Woo-jin approaches her calmly.
"Good day, Mr. Director."
"You came early?" "Yep. It feels different when I see it on site."
"Is that correct?"
Woojin inquired again, this time looking behind Director Kim Dohee. He was stunned on the inside.
'How many people are there, Mr.? What is the total number of units? 'Where had the war gone? '
There were simply too many people. At first glance, it appears that there are well over 60 people. It appeared that the issue was not limited to the staff. Choi Seong-geon, who was standing behind Woo-jin at the time, looked around to see if he recognized anyone in the crowd.
"Oh, Manager Lee? How have you been?"
"Hahaha, Choi Dae-pyo, you're right."
Kang Woo-jin stood in front of the main actors, led by director Kim Do-hee. I'll do a formal greeting later, but he needed to get acquainted with the staff first.
"This is actor Kang Woo-jin, as everyone knows."
"hello."
A distinct voice. The actors each awkwardly smiled and appropriately greeted Kang Woo-jin, and director Kim Do-hee gently handed Woo-jin several pieces of overlapping paper.
"Mr. Woojin, this is now a side story, but there were some changes made to the 'Lee Sang-man' cut, which is to emphasize Lee Sang-man's character, but it will suddenly become a bit difficult, right?"
On film sets, this was a common occurrence.
The general director's decision changes the lines, reverses the situation, or alters the emotions of the characters. Kang Woo-jin, on the other hand, was a rolled-around stone in some ways. He thought he had everything, but three weeks seemed like a long time to others.
Director Kim Do-hee was very passive as a result of this.
You can really consider it without pressure, so I guess it's too much, right?
Lee Sang-man's character could use some clarification, but if he goes overboard and rookie Kang Woo-jin'sform disintegrates, it will all be for naught.
Regardless, Kang Woo-jin.
"yes. "I'll look," you say.
It was inconsequential. It's more distant. why?
'A blank space appears. Then there's no issue.'
Because the side script was accompanied by a black square that was similar to the side script. Woojin raised his index finger in secret as he remembered the first script he read.
Take a step back.
It was only a split second. What made Kang Woo-jin come to a halt? For some, it's only a matter of seconds. Woojin, on the other hand, emerged from subspace after several tens of minutes.
'All right, let's play it cool and strong for a change. 'I'm also going to leave work early.'
Kang Woo-jin, his gaze fixed on the scenario, spoke softly to director Kim Do-hee, who stood in front of him.
"I believe you should give me five minutes."
"5 minutes? seriously?"
"Yes, five minutes."
"······?"
Kim Do-hee, the director, has question marks in his eyes. The actors around them were also whispering. That has to be the case.
'Who exactly is he? 'Don't you think you're a little cocky?
Because it was an absurd response.
'Five minutes? What exactly is he saying now? 'You have to be modest in your display.'
'It appears that he is trying to score points with his rookie spirit, but how can he learn lines and expressions in just 5 minutes? Director Kim must be struggling.'
The issue is.
"Yes, that's all."
Kang Woo-jin nodded because it only took three minutes instead of five.
"I am prepared."
It was after 7 p.m. before I realized it.
As the sun sets, the surroundings gradually darken. That could explain why the orange light from the street lights became noticeably brighter. In addition, four black sedans were parked in front of a building.
Cameras and lights were set up around it, and dozens of crew members surrounded the filming area.
Right now.
"sprinkler!!"
Kim Do-hee, the director, radioed from his seat. Rain began to fall in the filming zone as soon as he finished shouting. Hundreds of temporary workers wearing black long umbrellas enter at the same time. Everyone was dressed to the nines in suits.
"Please turn off the lights!"
"OK!"
"More, more, more!" "Let's go!"
A male staff member hit the slate in front of the camera as director Kim Do-hee shouted, and coach Kim Do-hee signaled into the walkie-talkie.
"The camera is rolling! Action!!"
The driver's seat of the sedan at the far end of the four parked sedans suddenly opened. A man in a suit holding an umbrella emerged, and he quickly moved to open the car door in the back seat.
-Sigh.
Kang Woo-jin stepped out of the backseat, a cigarette in his mouth. One hand was in his pocket. It was a suit, but there was no tie and the first button around the neck was undone. A dark tattoo can be seen at a glance on the visible flesh of the chest.
"Whoa-"
A long exhalation of cigarette smoke. If you look closely, you can see a scar on his left cheek gain. Also, the skin is rough. When touched, it appears to be scratchy. Only the hair pulled back was stylish. The pupils are fierce, but the pupils are slightly relaxed.
"······"
The ambiance is drab. That adaptable solemnity, however, contained violence. It had that kind of energy. It's powerful enough to stab you in the neck if you make a mistake when speaking.
Yes, he was now 'Lee Sang-man,' not Kang Woo-jin.
Lee Sang-man scratched his right forearm lightly before patting the shoulder of the subordinate who was holding the umbrella for him. The expression is still lackluster. The subordinate lowered his head, as if he recognized the compliment.
"Thank you very much."
Lee Sang-man yanked his subordinate's head, squinting one eye as if cigarette smoke had gotten into it.
"Close your eyes. "Everything gets wet."
"Coffee on ice!" sorry! "
"Or is that what you're after?"
"Oh, no!" exclaimed the older brother.
Lee Sang-man's voice is low and rough, as if there's a lot of phlegm in it, but there's a warning in every word. Soon, Lee Sang-man looks helplessly at his subordinate for a moment.
A nameless terror filled with abysses.
Even slowly closing your eyes is not a waste of time. Lee Sang-man maintained his gaze on his subordinate and slowly raised his hand to remove the cigarette from his mouth. The lungs are filled with cigarette smoke. The smoke has spread throughout the orange streetlights.
As long as he takes another long cigarette drag. It lacks expression but is still unpleasant. The current humidity, my mood, my itchiness in my forearms, and even the sound of rain hitting the umbrella.
That is the only possible solution.
-Sigh.
He shifted his gaze from the men gathered on the right to the distance behind them while holding a cigarette in his mouth. I noticed a lengthy row of street lights. One after another, closely spaced orange objects. You saw the street lights for what reason? since it's cool? Not at all.
"keep dancing."
This was due to the fact that Lee Sang-man's eyes were being gently shaken by orange lights. Only in his own eyes did he do that. the consequences of addiction. As a result, only Lee Sang grinned. What the heck is that? because it appeared to be a flash of light at first. The slight smile on Lee Sang-man's face slowly fades away.
"After-" Lee Sang-man covered his eyes with the cigarette smoke he exhaled, his face stiff and expressionless. Cigarette smoke, on the other hand, quickly rises into the sky. That's why Lee Sang-man could see those damn orange flashing lights again.
As a result, Lee Sang-man simply looks down at the man. His eyes were completely emotionless. Yes, it was a bug. It was just an eye staring at a bug. There isn't anything. That isn't necessary.
Then there was only one possible response. Step on it and it will die.
-Sure.
Lee Sang-man lowered his gaze to the man and extended his hand outside the umbrella. Raindrops were pelting his hands mercilessly. It's bitterly cold and excruciatingly painful. It was the same temperature as Lee Sang-man's environment.
Only Lee Sang muttered softly here.
"I'm about to blow."
The subordinate with the umbrella responded.
"yes?"
"The wind is blowing."
"ah."
Lee Sang-man then took a step closer to the bloodied man and squatted down. The man and he were on the same level. Scratch my forearm once more. Lee Sang-man was simply blowing a long stream of cigarette smoke into the face of her man.
"How come you're so thin?"
"Tongue, brother! I was really wrong! only once!"Please forgive me once!
"You mentioned you were skinny."
"······"
Lee Sang-man recited calmly, took the cigarette from his mouth, and placed it directly in front of the man's nose. No, he smoked a cigarette while raindrops streamed down the man's nose. The cigarette quickly began to crackle.
"Ah, go ahead and do it."
Lee Sang-man spoke in an unusual tone while holding a moist, extinguished cigarette in front of the man's eyes. However, she had a face that made me wonder what the guy was talking about.
"······yes??"
"Ah, go ahead and do it. "Open your mouth."
"!!"
"Be open."
Soon after, the bloodied man opened his mouth wide, and Lee Sang-man shoved the cigarette he was holding down his throat. There is no pity. He seemed to have the ability to drive her hand straight into the man's intestines.
"Kukkkeok!" and "Knock!"
"Let's get some facials and eat that."
"Wow! "Keuuk!"
"You've lost a lot of weight."
Lee Sang-man spoke harshly and slowly turned his head to look at the subordinate next to him. His movements are smooth from beginning to end.
"Gongguri."
The instructions were immediately understood by the subordinates. Throw the man and Gongguri into the sea together. Make his entire body plump. Several of her men quickly drag the man away. He screamed like a lunatic, but her ideals couldn't hear her.
Only that ideal was staring straight ahead, with no obstacles in the way.
The stairs leading up to the building can be seen. It's dreary and dark. The ominous stairs appeared to Lee Sang-man to be a path to liberation for some reason. As long as you move your feet immediately.
Before he knew it, he had an expression on his face.
"······"
There was a tiny chuckle. He twitches her facial muscles. My mood has improved. Your brain is telling you to act in a blind manner. It is directly in front of you; run. The laughter of Lee Sang-man was not amusing.
Not laughter, but death.
He is about to die.
It was a gentle and profound death. That was the expression and mannerism. Lee Sang-man's face gradually becomes more profoundly covered in death. Only Lee Sang enters the structure, death hanging over his face. Lee Sang-man moves past the camera that has been set up in front of the stairs at this point.
The view is still forward-facing. After walking past the camera, Lee Sang-man halted erect.
a pause for reflection.
The cut must now be revealed. However, there was silence. The only sound that resonates throughout the structure is that of rain.
It was an easy explanation.
"······crazy."
Director Kim Do-hee lost his soul as he fixed his gaze on the screen.
"I doubt Oh Jun-woo can perform bibi," I only see anomalies; I can't even see Kim Ryu-jin or Assistant Manager Park. All people can already be made to look different thanks to technology.
Of course, the staff, employees of the production company, distributors, and actors all followed suit. The new actor and the monster in the filming area are being watched by everyone in silence. Similar meanings could be read in the eyes.
What exactly did I see?
One supporting actor kept his eyes on Kang Woo-jin and struggled to speak at the time as dozens of people had stopped moving as if time had stopped.
"How and why does that happen?" I only briefly saw the side scenario.
But no one responded.
"······"
"······"
Because when they first encountered the monster, everyone's thoughts stopped.
