Spielberg’s paper contained everything he needed to make it into a film. How will you plan and how will you produce?

What to include and what to show From the necessary budget to the manpower, the necessary level of the VFX team, the background and conditions necessary for production, and the equipment and technology.

It was a perfect storyboard, written in a kind of way, just without drawing. Of course, now you will see a little difference depending on what kind of screenplay you and Spielberg write.

It gave me goosebumps.

‘Is this the master’s ability?’

The notification that he digested his talent was put on the back burner. It was purely because I was busy admiring Spielberg’s ability.

‘Co-screenplay with a director like this?’

Isn’t it thrilling just to imagine it? I put it off for a while because I was chased by the drama, but my fingertips were itchy enough to want to start working on the screenplay right now.

“ha. It’s awesome.”

(Awesome.)

Jaeik and Spielberg’s mouths opened at the same time. And at the same time, they made eye contact and laughed out loud.

(Song on earth. I don’t know how far your limits are. A drama of this quality. It’s a pity that I’ve already watched it. If it’s a drama like this, you have to hold it for a day and slowly savor it until the end.)

While Jaeik was looking at the paper he handed him, Spielberg went to the third episode with the lines and finished watching the edited version, the fourth episode, and wiped away the goosebumps from his swollen arms.

Of course, since it’s a period drama, even if you can’t evaluate the details, the composition and directing of the story. Everything, right down to the acting, was literally awesome.

It’s like a feature film.

In addition, I heard enough explanation about the filming process from Na Young-jin next to me. What role did Song Jae-ik play in the drama and how did he act as a cinematographer or co-director?

‘It’s not just being a writer, is it? It shows that level of ability in a completely different area. Sounds like fun, right?’

He also had a high understanding of camera, lighting, and production. It was very visible to the eye that he paid attention to detail in every part.

Besides, didn’t you say that you even acted yourself? That too to a fairly satisfactory level.

This made filmmaking more fun than I thought.

(I’m really surprised too. I didn’t know the director would analyze my work to this extent.)

(It’s a natural process to make a movie.)

(I was really surprised. To be honest, I think there are many better parts that I didn’t think of or even though they were interpreted completely differently.)

Heartily. I seriously thought about changing some of the settings of the novel.

(The original author’s praise is that much, so you don’t have to worry. I think working on a movie will be fun.)

(Yes. It must be fun. Working on a film.)

(First of all, the script is the beginning. The script is the base of all works.)

(I see. How long are you planning to stay in Korea?)

(Um. A week at the earliest, two weeks at the latest?)

(It should be enough to lay the groundwork for that base.)

What about a week or two? Besides, there was a part that I expected more because it was a collaboration.

[Steven Spielberg’s friend and genius writer. I came to see the song.’]

[The author of OMCTV’s Chronicles of Joseon Ghosts, a nutuber, and a writer of the world behind famous novels!]

[What is Song Jae-ik’s work that the Hollywood master fell in love with?]

[Steven Spielberg is known to have headed straight for Song Jae-ik’s office.]

[How did the two of you come to be related? Proof shot with Hollywood masters posted on Song Jae-ik’s SNS is a hot topic.]

“Damn it! damn it! damn it!”

Kang Ji-an of the drama Korea C was hysterical, throwing things off the desk while watching the news that filled the Internet.

It has been a long time since the publicity of Joseon Exorcist, which cost hundreds of millions of dollars, has already been pushed to the back burner.

“It’s Spielberg!! damn it!”

It was already rumored that Joseon Exorcist was over-promoted. People are new to rice cakes.

It was only to find the nonsensical articles that Spielberg, the incomparable Hollywood master, spread.

Of course, for Kang Ji-an, the fact that the Hollywood master openly called Song Jae-ik a friend and personally visited Korea to see him was a nightmare in itself.

Thanks to this, reporters were promoting Jae-ik’s works, from the Annals of Ghosts in Joseon to the world behind the scenes, without spending publicity money, and they were promoting the character Song Jae-ik. It’s crazy too.

More than what they poured out for publicity! Of course, it was an unexpected situation. But the blow was too great.

“You have to find a way. How to.”

Kang Ji-an quickly shook his head. Is there any way to make sure it hits?

However, there was no way to use it right now.

Because there are only two days left for the broadcast right now. As announced, the making film was also released, but the viewership ratings were respected, but the publicity effect was disappointing.

Two days were not enough no matter what I tried. Then you had to look behind him. It’s not just that a drama ends after one episode, it airs for at least two or three months.

“okay. It was there.”

On top of that, I had to come up with a plan B, just in case. I had to do what the party ordered me to do unconditionally.

Otherwise, getting dumped would be an instant.

[Steven Spielberg visiting the Joseon Ghost Annals filming site.]

[Director Spielberg full of smiles. What was the conversation with writer Song Jae-ik on set?]

Spielberg rice cakes continued to burn without knowing how to cool down.

After coming to Korea, he doesn’t hide himself as if he suddenly lived in seclusion, but he visits the filming site of the Annals of Ghosts in Joseon and shows his appearance in public.

(Oh. Korean dramas are filmed this way. There are definitely differences.)

(Anyway, that’s the case. At least the filming location here is a co-production with Mflix, so it feels like a mixture of American and Korean styles?)

(There must be a big difference in culture or environment. That’s something that can’t be helped.)

It was natural for reporters to follow. OMCTV also couldn’t miss this opportunity to promote, so they invited several reporters to film the scene and put a spoonful of publicity on the drama in a way that did not interfere with Spielberg’s movement as much as possible.

“Oh my God Spielberg.”

“Our writer is really amazing.”

“Oh my gosh. The Internet atmosphere was like that these days, but it turned completely upside down.”

From the assistant performers who visited the filming site to the main cast. It was because I was feeling new when I saw Jaeik laughing and talking casually with Spielberg.

“As expected, writer! Because it’s really great. Yes? I told you. Whatever you think, you will see more.”

Only Jin Kyu-hyeok is looking at Song Jae-ik with bright eyes as if it were only natural.

“I know. Huh, true. Why don’t people like that appear on TV? I cannot understand.”

“So. To be honest, it would only take an instant to become popular once it came out on TV. The mask is fine, the sense of entertainment is good, and the acting is good.”

“I am just good at everything. Honestly, out of all the things you’ve shown so far, are there any things you’re not good at?”

“but.”

“It’s natural for writer Song. I’ve been with him since filming the drama before that, but I’ve never seen him do anything wrong.”

Even the actors gathered among themselves responded as if they could not understand.

To be honest, even the appearances I’ve shown so far were enough to chew up the title of an all-around entertainer that is commonly said on TV.

“ruler! Let’s all get ready to shoot! Everyone is nervous! The reporters are here, and the guests are also here, right?”

Na Young-jin also shouted, controlling his tense emotions. Because that word was true for me too.

“now! Did you hear me? Let’s get ready to shoot!”

“Oh! It’s the first broadcast today, so when you’re done filming, be sure to watch the first episode! 10 at night!”

The filming of the drama is almost in the second half, and there is not a single scene that is not important in a single scene to be filmed.

In the first place, the fact that the filming progress is quickly reduced without preliminary scenes and good results are also because I think about the filming scenes and editing points to be filmed in advance.

“right. Jackie, are you okay?”

At Na Young-jin’s question, Jae-ik tilted his head. Was there anything that wouldn’t be okay?

“yes? What?”

“Today, you have a photo shoot. Besides, there’s even an ambassador for today?”

(Oh! Are you also an actor now? That’s true. I’m looking forward to it.)

When the interpreter attached to Mflix translated, Spielberg looked at Jaeik with an excited expression. I heard about it in the office and saw the scene, but it would be new to see it in person.

“ah. this.”

The search for the hidden Song Jae-ik is not over yet.

—

Despite the excitement, after the filming was over and the dinner was over, Jae-Ik went home. Spielberg headed to his hotel.

The full-fledged script work will begin tomorrow, and today is the day that episode 1 of the Joseon Ghost Annals is finally aired.

– Bonbang shooter!

– I thought it wouldn’t come out well because of Joseon Exorcist.

– The board was turned upside down because of Spielberg. LOL

– I didn’t want to see you hit ads like crazy, but it turned out well.

– Exciting! A whopping 19 gold. That it was made for an adult target in the first place!

– Joseon Exorcist is 15 gold.

– 19 gold is much better than the ambiguous 15 gold.

– Big. Just have fun! only fun! please!

In many ways, the interest in the end was high, so the archivist was also heating up the fire with anticipation.

Wouldn’t it be nice if the work of the person you’re a fan of is successful?

When I played Joseon Ghost Annals on the TV in the living room and Joseon Exorcist on the tablet OTT, the title above the advertisement disappeared, announcing the start of the drama soon.

“uh? Five minutes early?”

The beginning of the broadcast of Joseon Exorcist was about 5 minutes earlier than the start of an average drama, and of course text messages flew in from here and there.

[Na Young-jin: Wow. look at these Did you want 5 minutes of broadcast time just to keep a little bit of viewers right now? Are these complete lambs?]

[Jeongyeon: Did you see it? The Exorcist has already started broadcasting?]

Jaeik had expected this far, but he couldn’t change anything from now on. I had no intention of changing it.

So I fixed my eyes on the tablet instead of the TV. I was curious about what a work that had so much publicity would be like.

“Hmm?”

When the drama started, Jaeik’s expression when he saw Joseon Exorcist was strange. It was really strange.

“Is it strange?”

At the same time, I couldn’t get rid of the idea that it was strange.

Since it was a drama airing in the same time zone anyway, I had no choice but to be interested in it, so I had read the synopsis or introduction materials.

“No matter how you look at it, it’s strange.”

The background is the early Joseon Dynasty. If so, it was understandable that the clothing of the late Goryeo Dynasty and the clothing or culture of Joseon were mixed.

by the way.

But why.

Why is the Chinese color so deep? Is it a Joseon background drama?
