Under a spacious pergola with a diameter of four meters, the main creative staff of the "Train to Busan" movie were sitting and chatting. The topics they exchanged did not have much practical significance. They were just chatting to kill time. The filming of "Train to Busan"
The long hours and multiple interruptions in filming caused everyone in the crew to be physically and mentally exhausted. Not many people were willing to discuss work matters during the outdoor barbecue time with perfect daylight.
But there is one person who is an exception. This workaholic is Jang Dong Gun, who was appointed as the director's assistant by Lin Chengxun.
At this moment, everyone under the outdoor pavilion looked tired, but he was the only one who was in high spirits, holding a barbecue in his hand, but his eyes were observing Lin Chengxun from time to time.
Lin Chengxun clearly felt Zhang Dongjian's gaze. He touched the stubble that he had not shaved off because he played some adult games with Han Jiaren that morning. He wondered in his heart whether Gao Xiaoying was busy working for the m1 trendy brand, causing Zhang Dongjian to
Has this national male idol of the peninsula changed his mind?
Sitting next to Lin Chengxun, Ma Dongxi and Zheng Yusheng had their legs crossed and puffed out cigarettes. Compared to Lin Chengxun, they could read women's minds better. They could guess what Zhang Dongjian was thinking.
, especially Zheng Yusheng, who tried to develop in the direction of a director a few years ago, but unfortunately failed.
"By the way, how long will the post-production of our movie take?" Zheng Yusheng said with a yawn. After the filming of the movie, he also started to exercise to get back in shape. He couldn't get up late like Lin Chengxun every day and do some fun morning exercises.
, even at this barbecue table, I only saw him touching some vegetarian dishes, not touching the meat dishes, and he was even more polite about the drinks.
"Post-production dubbing, art, color grading, subtitles, special effects until the final film appears, it will take at least several months to carry out post-production work, and then I will get everyone to promote it. Why, I can't wait now
Do you want to do publicity work? Brother Yusheng."
Lin Chengxun detailed the post-production work from the end of the filming to the successful completion of the film. He couldn't help but have a headache. The various lens materials shot for "Train to Busan" totaled more than 20.
Hours later, he is now being asked to lock up all the footage and store it in a bank vault. At the very least, he has no plans to do post-production work on "Train to Busan" within a week.
"Do you need help with the post-editing of the movie?"
Taking advantage of the conversation started by Jung Woo Sung, Jang Dong Gun finally revealed his plan. In any case, even if he could just be a statue watching from the sidelines, Lim Sung Hoon, a director who is recognized by Peninsula as having very high-quality shot editing, would be good to edit it himself.
Hearing what Jang Dong Gun said, Lin Chengxun was stunned. He was very sure and praised Jang Dong Gun for having such a desire for progress, just like Han Jiaren's smoky, dark and turbid scenes during the late editing of "Love Is Not Blind".
I can't stay indoors.
However, when it comes to film editing, there is no benefit to having too many people. On the contrary, the edited film will be messy and messy because everyone wants different things. This is why most of the post-editing of Lin Chengxun's personal films is
If you do it yourself, at most, like on "Train to Busan", you will have two editors to help you. As for a novice editor like Jang Dong Gun, let alone helping, I'm afraid he will be criticized for taking up space if he stands in the editing room.
"I only watch, I only learn, I don't talk."
After getting along with each other for a while, Zhang Dongjian finally understood the meaning of Lin Chengxun's various actions. Now when he raised his eyes and frowned, he knew that Lin Chengxun had considered something. He simply said that he was working on the editing.
In the middle, you will stay humble and be small, even if you are a non-staff person who specializes in ordering takeout.
Lin Chengxun then nodded and agreed to take this big-name director assistant to participate in the post-production work.
The few of them chatted a few more interesting things during the filming of the movie. At this time, Han Jiaren, Yoona, and Cheng Yuli, who had gone to get food indoors, came back. When they saw the men chatting happily, the three women immediately slapped them.
Sitting in the empty seat next to Lin Chengxun, not to mention, Lin Chengxun, who was surrounded by three beauties at the moment, had an unfathomable aura, which was probably not much different from that empty young man with his own barrage of flower petals.
"what's the topic?"
The person who spoke was Han Jiaren. Speaking of it, she was the real host of today's wedding banquet. Both the location and the way of the banquet were all arranged by her as the major shareholder of S.L. Lin Chengxun, a movie director, was very good at eating.
"It's nothing. I'm talking about when I can work with Sung Hoon Xi again. Whether it's a movie or a TV series, I always feel like I can learn a lot."
Zhang Dongjian almost answered in a rush. It seemed that he didn't want to be exposed and publicly executed in front of women because he had made a low profile in order to participate in the editing work.
Oh, what a face the men of the Peninsula have.
"Really? Then..."
Before Han Jiaren could finish her words, she was interrupted by Lin Chengxun's hand on her thigh. She was still naive and did not hear Zhang Dongjian's intention to reveal this topic.
In fact, Lin Chengxun had noticed the novel that Han Jiaren had been carrying since the morning. In addition, during this period of time, she had been acting coquettishly no matter what the occasion. She had accumulated enough. She wanted to film a second work.
TV series to consolidate your directing skills.
So Lin Sung-hoon knew her purpose very well, but wouldn't it be too whimsical to ask Jang Dong-gun, who had just finished filming "Train to Busan", to be the leading actor in a TV series?
"The Sun Embracing the Moon?" Pulling out the novel from under Han Jiaren's buttocks, Lin Chengxun looked at the title and said, "Is this the best-selling Internet novel that you bought the adaptation rights for early?"
"Omo, have you seen it too?" Han Jiaren's eyes sparkled with brilliance. It would be best if Lin Chengxun could help adapt the script.
"The Sun Embracing the Moon"?...
Lin Chengxun nodded hesitantly. He was still somewhat impressed by Han Jiaren and Kim Soo-hyun's popular costume romance TV series in the peninsula. He had a rough memory of the plot. Of course, what he remembered most was classmate Han Jiaren's staring eyes from the beginning.
Acting that stares until the end.
But if you have an impression, you have an impression, but if you ask him to adapt the script of this TV series based on the original novel, it will be a bit difficult for him. Whether it is body or soul, Lin Chengxun is not a pure Peninsular, so he is adapting the ancient costume.
In dramas, even costume romance dramas, when it comes to costumes, culture, and even the etiquette, behavior, and movements of the old times, he, an out-and-out Chinese, knows nothing about it. This is why he has always stayed away from costume dramas.
reason.
"Let's discuss "The Sun Embracing the Moon" and the third child Li Chengcai's TV series at a meeting another day." Lin Chengxun thought about it for three seconds and then said to Han Jiaren. This time is not suitable to discuss these things.
Han Jiaren squinted her eyes and nodded noncommittally. She glanced at Yoona and Cheng Yuli who were silent beside her. She reached out and used a toothpick to prick a piece of sweet and delicious watermelon and put it in her mouth. She bit it with her white teeth and burst out.
It leaves a slightly sour taste in your mouth.
...
"Hey, isn't that Chengxun? Chengxun, Chengxun!"
When he heard someone calling his name, Lin Chengxun turned around and saw a long line of pedestrians not far away, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
At an outdoor barbecue dinner, we happened to catch up with the recording of "Running Man". I didn't know what the theme of their recording was. With such a big sun, the seven program hosts (Song Joong-ki and Lizzy quit) had sweat on their foreheads.
The hair at the temples was stuck to his face, but he was still full of energy. It was Ji Seok-jin, the elderly person in the show, who immediately saw Lim Sung-hoon and others having dinner here and shouted loudly.
Liu Zaishi and others were very happy when they saw Lin Chengxun. They thought that they would have some rest and food at Lin Chengxun's place no matter what. But when they walked in and took a look, they found Zhang Dongjian and others who were sitting at the same table with Lin Chengxun.
, now they were sitting on the wax, especially Lee Kwang Soo, who was considered a newcomer in the world of comedians. He stopped suddenly and bent down to say hello to Jang Dong Gun and others from a distance.
"Kwang Soo, come on, come on!"
Lin Sung-hoon waved to Lee Kwang-soo, and introduced with a smile to Jang Dong-gun and others at the table next to him: "Let me introduce to you, this is my very close brother I met some time ago, Lee Kwang-soo, one of the hosts of "Running Man"
The maknae has a very good sense of artistry.”
After Lin Sung-hoon made the introduction, Jang Dong-gun and others took the initiative to extend their hands to Lee Kwang-soo.
Speaking of which, Lee Kwang-soo is also a second-generation figure whose family has a fortune. Otherwise, he would not have quickly entered the actor's career soon after debuting as a model. His subsequent development has also been smooth. Of course, the most valuable thing is that he has a family with a fortune.
The second generation can still work so hard on variety shows. This work attitude is why Lin Chengxun admires him very much.
"Hey, brother."
Lin Chengxun turned sideways and gave up half of his butt position to Lee Kwang Soo. He took the lead in doing so. The rest of the people also gave way to "Running Man" and others. As for the VJ and director who were following the shooting, there was nothing they could do.
Let them sit down on the ground in the shade and rest. Of course, there will be no shortage of drinks, food, etc.
"Wow! Chengxun, you don't mean what you say. It's been a long time since I participated in "Running Man"."
After Yoo Jae Suk drank a mouthful of herbal tea, he challenged Lim Sung Hoon. What he said was that Lim Sung Hoon had promised to participate in the recording of "Running Man" with the crew of "Love Is Not Blind", but in the end, Han Jia and Yoona were left alone.
, Zhao Quan and others went, but he stayed on the set of "Train to Busan" and let Yoo Jae-seok and others go.
"Brother Shi, you have to blame me for this. Guangzhu, the accomplice, was punished so miserably by you later. How can I, the principal criminal, dare to participate in "Running Man"? Isn't this asking for death?"
As soon as Lin Chengxun finished speaking, everyone laughed. The "Running Man" episode in which Lin Chengxun and Han Hyo-joo participated had very good ratings on Peninsula because of Lin Chengxun's "real" performance, but because the final means of victory relied on Lee Kwang-soo
Because of his betrayal, he was criticized by many netizens on the Internet. Especially after the broadcast of that program, Lee Kwang Soo was protested by netizens for more than a month. On the "Running Man" program, he was also severely criticized by the powerful people represented by Kim Jong Kook.
He was "bullied" for a long time.
"Brother, how could you not come? I have been able to persist for so long just waiting for you to come and help me take revenge!"
Sitting next to Lin Chengxun, Lee Kwang-soo seemed to be suddenly filled with confidence. He glared at Kim Jong-kook "viciously". There was no doubt that the person he said he needed Lin Cheng-xun's help in revenge was the muscular man Kim Jong-kook.
"Yeah! Lee Kwang Soo!"
However, Kim Jong-guo's sudden roar startled the mighty Lee Kwang-soo again. His body suddenly trembled, and he actually slipped off the bench and sat down on the ground with a "duang" sound.
Lin Chengxun quickly helped Li Guangshu up with a smile, and said with a smile: "Is Guangshu okay?"
Li Guangzhu stood up with Lin Chengxun's strength, turned around and said aggrievedly: "Brother, I'm fine, I'm used to it, I feel this pain every week."
As soon as he said this, the entire space under the pergola was filled with a happy atmosphere.
Lin Chengxun, Liu Zaishi and others joked a few more, turned around and saw the PD in charge of the program was hesitant to speak. Then he rolled his eyes and noticed the flashing lights when the camera was running.
"PD, please turn off the camera. When "Train to Busan" is about to be released, I will take the leading actors to participate in "Running Man" to record a promotional film. I won't broadcast what happened today."
After hearing what Lin Chengxun said, PD asked the VJs to turn off the cameras, and everyone enjoyed the only relaxing time since the recording of "Running Man".
"Brother, is your new movie called "Train to Busan"?"
"Yes, it's a combination of a zombie movie and an escape movie. It's a pity that the filming has ended. Otherwise, if I had you, Kwang-soo, make a cameo, it should be able to make up for the lack of laughs in the movie." Lin Chengxun said politely with a smile.
A little more laughter in a movie may be a benefit, but "Train to Busan" is different. As a zombie escape film that seriously discusses society and human nature, filling it with laughter is a poison rather than a highlight.
Unexpectedly, when Li Guangzhu heard what Lin Chengxun said, his eyes lit up and he quickly climbed up the pole, "Really? Brother, I can also take pictures of your works?"
To be honest, Lin Chengxun's brain was confused at this moment. He was stunned for a while before he reacted and said with a smile: "Kwangsoo, I won't say polite words to you anymore. Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
When Lin Sung-hoon said this, Yoo Jae-seok, who was trying to help Lee Kwang-soo debunk this embarrassing topic, was surprised. Song Ji-hyo and others were also stunned for a moment. Then they remembered that among the big-name directors in Peninsula, only Lin Sung-hoon could do this.
It is a unique choice to choose comedians as the protagonists of the movie, especially since Liu Jae Suk also played an important role in "Speed Scandal".
"Brother, please tell the truth, I can bear it!" Li Guangzhu said seriously. He also realized belatedly that his previous words were somewhat overjoyed because Lin Chengxun treated him preferentially.
"The truth is that the reason comedians are not favored by a large number of directors is that your high exposure has led to a too fixed image positioning in the minds of the audience. If the role you are asked to play does not fit the image of a comedian,
It will make the overall plot of the movie or TV series biased; so you yourself know that most of the directors who seek you to star in are to take advantage of your high popularity, and the characters are usually fixed crazy and funny characters. If you want to get rid of this
If there are any restrictions, I can only think of two methods for now."
"What method?" Lee Kwang Soo and Song Ji Hyo's eyes shone brightly.
"The first one is the absolute contrast. If you don't want the audience outside the play to label you as a funny character and let them appear in the play, then make your role in the work have a big enough contrast with your usual character positioning. The simplest way is
The first positioning is to make the character die miserably."
Speaking of this, Yoona curled her lips. All the idol actors in "Train to Busan", including herself, should not die too tragically regardless of the severity of their roles. She has also seen the footage of herself and others, and she has to admit it.
Seeing yourself die so miserably can really make the audience abandon their idol image outside of the movie.
"What about the second method?"
"The second method is that you need to have amazing acting skills. The simplest example is Senior Zhang Guang in "The Melting Pot". If you have senior Zhang Guang's acting skills, it doesn't matter what your background is.
Already."
Senior Zhang Guang’s acting skills?
The beastly principal in "The Crucible" appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and many people sighed in their hearts. Not to mention Zhang Guang's interpretation of a principal with a human face and an animal heart, making the audience not only feel disgusted, despised, but even...
Fear and panic; even if I can show the same hysterical crying acting skills as Lin Chengxun, I will be satisfied.
