A Genius Writer Loved by an Actress 70
“Ahh.”
The physical condition of the cinematographer was not serious. The foreboding I had felt since returning from the town hall was becoming a reality.
It was nauseating as if something had blocked the esophagus, but now the pain is like squeezing the intestines.
The cinematographer, unable to stand it any longer, sits on the bed and clutches his stomach.
The pain was so intense that I couldn’t even breathe.
“Oh, I’m going to die like this. 119.. 119… Uhh~~”
The screaming woke the cameraman who was sleeping in the bed next to him. And in real time, I witnessed the cinematographer holding his stomach and collapsing.
“I feel… Director. Are you okay?”
“Ah~~ 119.”
“Oh, it’s the director~~”
The cinematographer quickly called 911.
***
The set turned upside down. This is because half of the staff who went down to the town hall to eat last night were taken away by 119 ambulance.
Producer Cha Min-won followed the ambulance, and director Oh Sang-shik remained on the scene.
Beep- Beep- Beep-
Early in the morning before the sun rose, the loud sound of sirens tore through the air.
“What the hell happened?”
As the ambulance carrying the patient disappeared from sight, director Oh Sang-sik asked the assistant director. He also ate at the town hall yesterday but was fine.
The assistant director opened his mouth as if he wanted to say sorry.
“Ah… I think it’s because of the snake liquor.”
“What? Snake drink?”
“yes. I was about to stand up after I finished eating, but a villager brought snake wine. A few people drank it because they said it was good for rejuvenation, but I think only those who drank it got sick.”
“Was it a poisonous snake? Gosh.”
Director Sang-shik Oh covers his forehead with his hand.
The amount of filming we have to do today is huge, but it’s great that all the key characters, including the cinematographer, are missing.
At least it’s fortunate that the actors are okay, the assistant director is okay, and the head of the set is okay.
And writer Jaeho Yoon is also good.
The cinematographer tried to take me last night, but when I heard that the writer refused, I broke into a real cold sweat.
Anyway, we had to force the shooting with the remaining number of people.
“Director, how is the filming going today?”
the assistant director asked cautiously.
“I have to. even between us I can’t get off schedule with Yuri and Woohyuk again. Production costs will be overrun.”
“Then, should the auxiliary performers coming down from Seoul come as well?”
About 100 extras were waiting in two large buses. If the shooting was canceled, the assistant director asked because they had to cancel first.
“yes. tell it to come back I’m going to take a picture somehow.”
“all right.”
In an instant, the assistant director disappeared and only director Oh remained.
‘I’ll have to discuss it with the writer first. Since the only answer is to revise the script… Ah, then the quality of the drama would be drastically lowered…’
First of all, he found artist Jaeho Yoon.

When I was awakened by a loud noise and went outside, I heard someone whispering at the end of the hallway.
Looking closely, it was Min Yuri’s manager Nam Ki-sang and Kam Woo-hyeok’s manager Kim Soon-dol.
“Our Woohyuk hyung. I have a New Topic interview tomorrow afternoon. I’m really procrastinating and procrastinating. Oh, if I can’t go again because the filming is delayed, I’ll be a journalist and write an anti-journal…”

Kim Soon-dol, whose lips are dry, runs her tongue once.
“Hey, you can call a reporter here for an interview. I like it more if you show the atmosphere of the set. What a big deal.”
Read at noblemtl.com
Ki-sang Nam, who slams Soon-dol Kim’s circumstances into dust in the middle of the day, while only raising his own circumstances.
“Our Yuri has a fan meeting at Yoyogi Gym tomorrow. I’m really afraid of how much the penalty will be if I don’t catch the flight on time.”
“No, our Woohyuk hyung is also filming a CF after the interview. And the penalty is terrifying.”
What was so serious, I approached them first.
“M manager. Manager Kim.”
“Ah, writer.”
“I woke up because it was noisy outside. What’s going on?”
“Yes, some of the people who ate at the town hall yesterday had a big stomachache. But a few of them are the cinematographer, the martial arts director, and the lighting director.”
“Ha, I wonder if we can safely shoot today.”
“this.”
What if I followed you yesterday?
I think I did well to watch the drama indefinitely while watching the channel app.
“Are they all okay?”
“Yes, first of all, it was taken from 119, and the car PD followed, so we spent an hour.”
“I’m glad I did.”
“I’m really happy. But after we confirmed that they were okay, our feet went out on fire.”
“I just heard. Woohyuk and Yuri are worried that the schedules will go wrong.”
“yes. I’m worried about how today’s shooting will turn out.”
“If you don’t finish it on time, it will be really difficult.”
Do not worry. managers.
If I’m lucky out of misfortune, I’m fine.
In my head, the camera angle, composition, reflector position, sound, and movement are all in there. They even use it as an extra for costumes.
I studied a lot last night.
“Don’t worry about filming.”
“yes?”
“really?”
The two managers’ eyes widened at my confident voice.
“I can help you keep things on schedule. It is possible because I am a writer.”
“Really?”
“Can I trust you?”
“Absolutely. Mr. Yuri and Mr. Woohyuk are my actors whom I cast. Believe me. Today’s filming will go well.”
“Oh, thank you. Writer.”
“thank you so much.”
I haven’t even started yet, but I’m kind of grateful.
Anyway, reassuring the two managers,
“I need to get to know the director a little bit. I will go first.”
hurriedly turned around.
I had to meet with director Oh Sang-sik.
***
There was nothing far to go.
I met him right in the lobby of the dorm.
“Hey, writer.”
“Here, Director.”
We were desperate for each other, so we went to the main point.
“Writer, you know it’s an emergency right now, right?”
“Yes, I just heard. All the major directors said they had a stomachache.”
“you’re right. I’m not worried about their health since they went to the hospital, but our filming is a problem. I can’t put it off until later.”
“Yes.”
“So that’s what I mean.”
“Yes, please.”
“What if we revise the script? Complex action scenes are more concise and dialogue-oriented.”
Eh?
The perfect script that the channel allowed?
Can not be done. If that happens, the ratings I know will never come out.
paused for a while
How should I answer to convince the director Oh?
“Rather than revise the script, I will help.”
“Even if the writer helps, you won’t be able to do all of those people’s work.”
“No, I can.”
“yes?”
“That’s because I really put all my energy into writing this shoot. It’s not just bitter, it’s soul pierced.”
Director Oh gives strength to the eyes.
I spat harder.
“When I wrote the script, I calculated and wrote all the movements, even the number of extras and movements. In a word, everything about shooting is in my head. It appeared in my dream last night. It is also vivid.”
“Ah, did you come to the dream?”
It seemed persuasive.
“yes.”
“Hey. The author is really gifted. How to dream…”
“So I can help. Oh, if only the director would be by my side.”
“good. So let’s do it. I don’t really want to edit the script either. Today, we will work together with the author.”
“yes. Let’s try it by sticking together like a thread and a needle.”
A hot handshake of men!
I went to the filming set with a desperate determination.
***
As soon as we went to the filming set, Director Oh corrected the chaotic atmosphere.
“Everyone, please pay attention. Let’s talk about shooting today. After an internal discussion, it was decided that everything would go as planned. Here, writer Jaeho Yoon will help you a lot. Everyone is welcome to cooperate.”
As soon as director Oh’s words ran out, the staff found their seats and prepared for filming.
I’m watching to see how it’s getting ready.
“Director, please call the cinematographer, on-site FD assistant director, and key staff in each field.”
“all right.”
Called key staff members. For the purpose of taking care of the details that would normally be discussed between the parties, all at once.
After a while everyone gathers,
I tore and pasted the storyboards on the blackboard one by one and explained what I saw on the channel.
“So, this is my first cypress forest shoot. When the Opalju agents enter the cypress forest, the camera team divides the screen into 4 parts: top, bottom, left, and right. Opal State agents occupy the left side and gaze to the right. Leave the right side blank. That place is the domain of Opal Lord followers, whether there are followers or not.”
“You mean so that the audience can easily figure it out?”
“Yes, that’s right. When they mix with each other in large action scenes, viewers get confused about who is who.”
Staff nodding their heads.
“At the top and bottom, the Opalju agent occupies the bottom space, and conversely, the followers occupy the top space. FD, please ask the supporting actors who play Shinto not to go down.”
“all right.”
“This composition continues all the way to the main hall of Obulsanshin.”
At my explanation, everyone’s expression turned into a confident expression.
continued to lead.
“Listen to the lighting team this time. In Cypress Forest, the key light is from top to bottom. This means that the faces of the Opal agents should be illuminated and the faces of the followers should be dark.”
“Hey, writer.”
In the midst of listening, an aged lighting engineer raised his hand.
“Yes, please.”
“At this scale, the only thing that can be used as a key light is sunlight. However, the forest is so dense that it is difficult to get sunlight.”
“Wait.”
Looking back at the image in my head, I found the answer. I replied without delay.
“At one-third of the end of the cypress forest, there is a place with sparse trees if you slightly go up from the forest road. The sun will come in there.”
“Oh yeah?”
“Yeah, shooting there makes full use of sunlight. There is also a hill at the top, so it’s good for believers to attack.”
Wow!
and!
No, what does the author do not know?
What the hell is the author?
Admiration erupted everywhere.
There wasn’t even a moment to groan.
He continued to give instructions about tools, sounds, and clothes.
Finally ready.
“Now let’s shoot. Director.”
“Is that so? Everyone please take a seat. I’ll start right away.”
That’s how the shooting started.
The shooting was smooth and the speed was faster than usual. Because everyone followed my instructions well and I continued to take good care of them.
Everything went smoothly until the red sun I saw in the video slowly colored the lake.
Now all that’s left is Gil Byeong-soo’s Ilik Dangcheon.
A highlight scene that will show the mighty power of sweeping away the crowds on the narrow wooden deck at once.
“Pan the camera right from the end of the forest here to where it leads to the wood deck. and···”
As I walked on the deck, I explained in detail.
“I push straight into the trekking in. Then it says HH, right? In the hand-held method, the screen vibrates like Gil Byung-soo’s movement. Then, tilt the camera down to capture the action scene of ‘Gil Byung-soo’ reflected in the lake, and then tilt it up again to defeat the middle boss of the Shinto. So far.”
As soon as I finished my words, Director Oh stepped forward.
“Now, did you all listen to the author? Set up the rails for the filming team and move the lighting team quickly.”
His voice was raised a lot.
Until this morning, I thought it would be good to just edit the script and shoot,
On the contrary, I was able to finish high-quality scenes faster.
“Ready, action!”
A shooting that seemed so impossible was completed with a perfect action sequence.
***
As soon as I finished filming safely and returned to my dorm, I fell asleep.
and the next day,
Whew~
I woke up early in the morning to the sound of the wind blowing through the windows on the balcony.
The warm room temperature was good, so I tried to sleep a little more, but once I woke up, the sleep did not come anymore.
‘Shall we go for a walk? Yesterday was a really hard march.’
I put on my light workout clothes and went outside.
without eating or washing.
that buck that buck
Fog was thick in the silent forest where no one was there. Feeling sucked in, I kept moving forward.
As we walked, the fog grew thicker and thicker.
‘Should I go back?’
Looking back, the white fog is the same.
Going forward or backward, it seemed to be the same, so I kept going.
that buck that buck
From a wide forest road to a side road that diverges like a tributary stream.
Also, the road is a cherry tree tunnel.
And led me to a small stream.
For a long time, I walked aimlessly through the forest.
But when I came to my senses, I wondered where this place was.
The fog gets thicker and the road narrower.
I had lost my sense of direction and didn’t know where to go.
I’m just stuttering where I feel,
“oh! pick it up.”
A thorn bush that stabs the back of the hand.
A branch slapped against the face.
A small root that fertilizes your feet.
“Oh, what about it? You got it right.”
I felt gloomy.
I take out my cell phone from my pocket to ask for help from anyone.
As the sun rose from the ridge, the fog began to clear.
Squeak.
And the scenery that is revealed with a clear view.
I opened my mouth.
“Wow! What is here?”
Huge cliffs visible through a tunnel of lush trees.
The two cliffs facing each other as if someone cut them with a knife formed a decalcomani,
The distinctive vines and moss that covered it were even exotic.
“There was a forest like this in our country!”
At that moment, an idea comes to mind.
This is the real laboratory of a pharmaceutical company where secret experiments were conducted!!
It was the background of a laboratory where the bodies of people who died during experiments were thrown away or deformed people were locked up.
The reason I was holding on to the script until the end was because of this research institute.
It was unfolding before my eyes.
Turn your phone into a camera. And started taking pictures.
Cliffs, vines, moss, mist, branches, and small trails that seem to be cut off…
I saved everything possible so that even one of these feelings would disappear.
