章 1: 256 - Gale 6
< Gale (6) >
Artist Nana Choi, wearing round glasses, looked up at the ceiling blankly for a moment, then slowly lowered her head again. Laptop visible from the front. A blinking cursor on the laptop screen.
Of course, I just put a period to it.
The script she was working on until just now was the final episode of 'Beneficial Evil'. The long writing process is over. It was a 'beneficial evil' with many changes. As a result, 'Beneficial Evil' had a total of 12 episodes and was the last episode.
Currently, we are looking at a seasonal system, but this was only possible when the results were certain.
Anyway, the scrawny writer Nana Choi looked at her laptop for a moment and then suddenly.
-hook!
I got up from my desk and raised my arms. Even then, it flaps like wings. It was because I was thrilled. The completion of the first full-length story. It's enough to make it understandable to dance in silence. It was unfortunate that there was no one in the studio. If there had been anyone, she, who has a timid personality, might have shed tears quietly.
Following.
-Sigh.
Writer Nana Choi, who had enjoyed it enough, took a deep breath and sat down at her desk again.
"You must be crazy, why do you feel so good?"
Of course, we finished the script for the last episode, but this wasn't the end. There must be confirmation from PD Song Man-woo, the general director. Still, author Nana Choi, with her smile on her face, moved her mouse and picked up her cell phone near her laptop. She moved the mouse to save and her cell phone to make a call.
Who is the person calling?
"Producer, are you busy??"
Producer Song Man-woo was the first to deliver this good news. Artist Nana Choi puts her cell phone to her ear. Perhaps because she was a little nervous, she swallowed her saliva.
This moment.
"Uh, writer."
Producer Song Man-woo's slightly flushed voice was heard over the cell phone, and writer Choi Nana, smiling, happily recited.
"Producer, I just put a period on the script for the last episode."
Producer Song Man-woo's exclamation is immediately audible.
"Oh oh! is it so? just now?"
"yes yes! "Can you come today??"
"Nice, good, good. today? Well, I'm busy today, so I'll go to the studio as soon as the sun rises tomorrow morning. Until then, I'm just checking the script for the last episode again."
"I understand, PD. uh? But where are you right now and are you busy?"
In response to the question, producer Song Man-woo answered with laughter over the cell phone.
"What can I do, I'm meeting an actor."
"ah! Is it a casting thing? "I'm sorry, then please call me again when you're done."
"Let's do that."
And just like that, the call was cut off.
At this time, producer Song Man-woo, who had just finished a phone call with writer Nana Choi, was sitting in an entertainment meeting room. No, to be exact, it was a hallway. He put his cell phone in his pocket and opened the meeting room door again. There were about five people sitting inside the meeting room.
Producer Song Man-woo has two people, and the remaining people are on the other side.
Among them, the woman sitting in the middle has a familiar face. Moles under her eyes, long hair hanging down to her chest, and a loose-fitting black hood. It was Hwarin. The makeup was basic, but her beauty was still noticeable.
The people on either side of her are the manager and management team leader.
Soon, producer Song Man-woo, who returned to his seat, asked for understanding.
"Huh- I'm sorry. "Call the writer."
Hwarin answered, covering her hands with the sleeves of her hood.
"Writer? "Are you, by any chance, writer Choi?"
"That's right, author Nana Choi. "I heard you just finished writing the script."
"Wow, I should contact you to congratulate you."
"Haha, I think the writer will like it."
Hwarin already had a relationship with writer Nana Choi as a 'male friend', and even when the official announcement of 'Beneficial Evil' was made, Hwarin contacted writer Nana Choi. However, PD Song Man-woo's visit was unexpected for Hwarin.
"But PD. "What's happening all of a sudden?"
Producer Song Man-woo, with his beard, smiled for business. In fact, he and Hwarin weren't that close. I know both of them because they are very famous, but I have never worked on them before. Producer Song Man-woo presented a transparent file to Hwarin.
And then he said it in a serious tone.
"What would it be like to come at this time? Mr. Hwarin came to us with the hope of appearing on 'Beneficial Evil'."
"·····Um, me??"
Hwarin's eyes, which were already small, grew even wider. It was well worth it. After all, she had recently suffered a bitter taste after failing the audition for 'Leech'. On the other hand, PD Song Man-woo was calm.
"Yes, Hwarin. However, it will not be a leading role."
"ah-"
"I'm not sure because the script storyboard work is still in progress, but I think the role I'm asking Ms. Hwarin will probably be somewhere between a main and supporting role."
In other words, I am asking you to join me in a supporting role. It was a slightly low offer for Hwarin, who had already reached the top ranks of idols and actors. Hwarin's fat manager, who figured it out, intervened.
"Well, PD, I'm so grateful for the offer. Can I ask why you think of our Hwarin as a supporting role? "Is there something missing?"
Bearded producer Song Man-woo, who turned his gaze, relaxed his expression slightly and shook his head.
"It can't be. Not at all. "I didn't give Hwarin the role because I was disappointed with his form, but to be honest, it's safe to say that 'Beneficial Evil' has no leading role except for Kang Woo-jin."
"yes?"
When asked again, Producer Song Man-woo's gaze returned to Hwarin. She still had her eyes wide open, and producer Song Man-woo continued his explanation while making eye contact with Hwarin and her.
"It's a bit difficult to open everything. "To put it mildly, there will be several episodes of 'Beneficial Evil' and the actors will change for each episode."
In other words, only Kang Woo-jin, who penetrates 'Beneficial Evil', is maintained, and the actors are changed to Tong in each episode. As a result, most actors have no choice but to play supporting roles. Producer Song Man-woo then added that the company has become bigger by merging with Netflix and that they are discussing with many actors, not just Hwarin.
"You may have seen that our 'Beneficial Evil' is aiming for a global launch."
Hwa-rin, who had been listening to a rather long explanation, looked at producer Song Man-woo in confusion, but in her mind, she was thinking about the target of her criticism. My favorite friend, Kang Woo-jin.
'···Kang Woo-jin, the only center lead in such a huge hit – isn't he so cool?'
Hwarin, who was filled with fan spirit, was thrilled. It was then that producer Song Man-woo opened his mouth.
"In addition, the reason I thought of Hwarin for this role was because of her 'male friend.' "I thought it would be perfect to remove the poison from that character's image."
Producer Song Man-woo spit out his conclusion to Hwarin, who tilted her head slightly.
"Although it is a supporting role, I am thinking of Hwarin as the villain in the first episode."
Two days later, the 8th. monday.
After the script reading for 'Leech' was over. Before we knew it, it was the first official filming day for 'Leech'. In other words, the day of cranking up has dawned. The film industry press was already in an uproar.
『[Movie Talk] 'Leech', which finished reading, cranked up today, the 8th, after only two days!』
『Finally, first photo shoot! 'Leech', which is attracting attention in the domestic film industry, immediately goes ahead with the schedule without a moment of rest』
Meanwhile, Kang Woo-jin had just arrived at the site of a comprehensive set in Jeonju. His black van stopped in the outdoor parking lot of a large lot.
The reason was simple.
This is because a large house set for 'Leech' was built on the site of this huge comprehensive set. In addition, not only the external set, but also the internal set was created here. In short, more than 50% of the filming of 'Leech' will be held in Jeonju, excluding location filming.
Whatever it is.
-Drur!
Kang Woo-jin just got out of the van. There is a lot of indifference today. Because it was a new filming location and environment, the concept was deepened. The first filming was imminent, but fortunately Woojin wasn't too nervous. Of course, my heart was pounding, but it was closer to anticipation than nervousness.
All the tension was blown away at the script reading two days ago.
Then, when Choi Seong-gun and the team got off the passenger seat and joined, Kang Woo-jin's feet moved. As I left the outdoor parking lot, two staff members with intercoms around their necks were waiting at the entrance. As soon as the two saw Woojin, they rushed over.
"hello!"
"hello!"
Kang Woo-jin also silently bowed his head in response to the greeting.
"hello."
Two staff members served as Woojin's guides. Soon, Kang Woo-jin, Choi Seong-gun, and the team arrived in front of the magnificent house, passing by the hectic staff. A set or a single-family home that will be the core of 'Leech'. A large yard with grass, a parking lot for foreign cars, a living room with large windows, and a main house that looks like three buildings combined.
Looking up at a set of houses that are mostly gray in tone.
"······"
Woojin, who had a calm face, was making a fuss inside.
'Wow!! It's so big! Does a house like this actually exist in Korea??! Anyway, it's great.'
Behind that huge set of single-family homes, several warehouses could be seen. The internal sets were probably located in that warehouse. Of course, currently, about 100 staff members of 'Leech' were gathered around the house set. Fifteen people were inside the house, some were in the parking lot, and nearly 20 were in the grassy yard.
Each team and each section were busy doing their own work.
At this time, Kang Woo-jin heard an old voice coming from the yard where many chairs and monitors were placed.
"You're here."
It was director Ang Bok, wearing lightweight padding and holding a scenario in one hand. He approaches Kang Woo-jin with a wrinkled smile.
"How is it? "Is the set useful?"
Is it usable? no? It doesn't come. Woojin answered internally and then changed his words shamelessly on the outside.
"Yes, it looks that way."
"is it so. "How do you feel compared to the scenario?"
The question was about synchronization. Woojin looked up at the set single-family home again. It was safe to say that they were almost identical. Of course, it is slightly different from the house that Kang Woo-jin saw in subspace, but that has nothing to do with it.
"I think it's almost similar."
Director Anga Bok, with a wrinkled smile, pointed to the back. A large tent was built outside the filming zone.
"That's the waiting room. I'm taking a break over there before putting on costumes and makeup. And-what about Woojin's style manager?"
Among the team members, the expressionless Han Ye-jeong raised her hand.
"That's me."
"Let me see."
As if she was used to it, Han Ye-jeong, head of the stylist department, took the 'Leech' coordination book and followed behind director Ga-bok Ang. Next, Kang Woo-jin was guided by the staff and moved to the actor waiting tent. What remains is Choi Seong-gun and a few members of the team.
Soon, Choi Seong-geon was tying his hair in a ponytail again.
-Sigh.
He looked up at the house in front and muttered softly.
"I'm finally posting this."
About an hour later.
The filming of 'Leech' is imminent. Cameras, lighting, audio, props, actors, etc. The setup was almost over and Director Ang Bok had gathered the key staff members and was briefing them.
"Again, time is tight, so I have no choice but to overdo it."
It was a situation where it was necessary to film all night or take a nap, and director Anga Bok had to cut down on that nap and also do the preliminary work of editing. The sound of the gates of hell opening. Director Ang Bok repeated the same briefing in the actor's tent.
Many actors, including Kang Woo-jin, Shin Shim-ho, Oh Hee-ryeong, Jin Jae-jun, and Han So-jin, had already arrived at the waiting tent.
Kang Woo-jin listened to director Ahn Ga-bok's briefing without much notice.
'Ha-I didn't like cutting and cutting today.'
I let out an indistinct sigh. Well, what can I do? I had already made up my mind, and since there was sub-space, it would work out somehow. Director Angabok then checked the time before leaving the tent.
"Let's have a staff bye in 10 minutes."
I glanced alternately at the great actors Shim Shim-ho and Kang Woo-jin, who had already become sloppy, with their beards and hair neatly trimmed. At the same time, I recalled a line from Joseph Felton, whom I had previously contacted.
'Because there is a Korean actor who is interested.'
At that time, director Ahn Ga-bok was convinced that the Korean actor Joseph mentioned was Shim Shim-ho. But now, my thoughts have changed a bit.
'It could be Kang Woo-jin.'
This is because a screen test case for a Hollywood movie involving Kang Woo-jin recently broke out. At that level, it was enough reason for a famous Hollywood producer to come by.
'It's funny, in my second year, I'm on par with that guy.'
Finally, director Gabok Ang, who had been looking at the calm Woojin, came out of the tent. The assistant director comes running. Director Angabok gave him instructions in a low voice.
"Let's put it on standby in 5 minutes."
"yep!"
The assistant director answered boldly and ran again among the hundred or so staff members. Soon, Director Ang Bok looked down at his watch and remembered the foreigners who had decided to come.
"I think it arrived slowly."
Meanwhile, unlike the first time, the outdoor parking lot was filled with numerous vans, vans, and minibuses. A group of foreigners suddenly came out of two vans that had arrived just before. Among them, two people particularly stood out. A black man who was almost a giant, and a blonde woman wearing a hat, sunglasses, and a mask. A group of foreigners, led by those two, slowly walked towards the set.
They immediately captured the attention of the staff members who passed by them.
"What, what are those foreigners?"
"Did you see more than that? "That blonde hair over there."
"no? "All I see is that big black guy?"
"Is this a special team called by the coach or something?"
Either way, the group of foreigners reached the entrance to the pre-arranged two sets of single-family homes. At this time, in the eyes of a group of foreigners.
"······"
"······"
Among the many actors, one stood out.
It was Kang Woo-jin with a poker face standing on the lawn.
This moment.
-Sigh.
Perhaps sensing that he was popular, Kang Woo-jin suddenly turned his head to check on the foreigners.
"······"
To be precise, Joseph and Kara made eye contact.
