147. Road trip (1)

(I’m about to do a road trip.)

(Suddenly? A road trip?)

Natalia asked Jaeik with a slightly dumbfounded expression. what does this mean again

He suddenly called me saying he had something to say, and then he said it was a road trip.

(Originally, life is sudden. I just want to refresh it. Tell Harold that there is no need to come. I will go there. I will contact you 3-4 days before arrival.)

(Uh, but. Uh. I get it. I’ll pass it on to Mr. Harold. Uh, but. That means he’s going to Broadway on a road trip right now.)

Natalia stopped talking and looked at Jaeik in surprise. A road trip across America. Considering the itinerary of stopping by intermediate and intermediate cities, is it a distance of about two weeks? Or it could have taken longer.

(Yes. From here to Broadway. I’m not just traveling blindly, I’m thinking of taking some You Tube videos by stopping by. I’m working on some songs and scripts.)

(Uh. Yes. First of all, I understand. It’s a pity that I can’t upload the road trip video on Mflix because it’s a nutube shoot.)

(Haha. I also have to post on youtube sometimes. Thanks. If there are any changes, I’ll let you know more.)

(Nothing to say. Of course it has to be done.)

It was an unexpected road trip across the United States, but didn’t Jaeik tell me that he was going to shoot a YouTube video while working on it?

No matter what Jaeik does or what he does, as long as there is no problem within the legal framework, Mflix will support Jaeik.

After Natalia left, she peeked at the recooked monitor screen and checked the time for the next meeting.

Detetiv’s meeting had already been resolved. These days, with untact technology, you can solve almost anything by phone or video wherever you are, and there is an electronic payment system.

And the fact that there is no urgent work right now also played a role. Because everything was going well.

Next is the Nutube team meeting.

Since it is a Nutube content that is being filmed in earnest in the United States, I was thinking of bringing all the Nutube teams waiting in Korea. Probably arrived today. When I was making a plan, the departure would probably be the middle of the next week, even if it was late this week at the earliest.

Rather than simply crossing the US, I was thinking of filming various contents during the crossing. A lot of real content, including vlogs.

Cooking, music, dancing, and writing.

Weiying-

At the same time, the phone rang and a familiar name was printed on the LCD screen.

“Brother, what are you doing!”

– What’s up! They said they were filming a cross-American road trip!

Na Young-jin spat out a grumble filled with regret over the phone.

“Haha. Somehow it happened. It was decided suddenly and in a hurry.”

There was really no sudden decision.

When the song work didn’t go well, I checked the proposals that came to me, and there were a few things that I was drawn to, and they happened to be held in Hollywood, New York, or Chicago.

Just 5 days ago.

– This is a totally nutube entertainment documentary! A cross-country road trip with Song Jae-ik! Inspiration just pops into my head already!

Na Young-jin lined up his plans one after another. Basically, it is a plan to show off everything they are good at while traveling in one camper and one food truck.

Whatever you do is free, but is it a device for various paintings? Of course, it didn’t matter if I didn’t use the food truck, either.

“Iknow, right. It would have been great to do it together. It’s more comfortable when you have a brother. It’s a star PD. But don’t you still have drama shooting?”

rattle-

After a long conversation with Na Young-jin, the door opened and people poured in.

Carrying a camera in one hand and audio equipment.

“So I came!!!”

Among the people who rushed in, Na Young-jin held up her cell phone and waved her hand with a bright expression.

“How can I fall for such a big project! Hahahaha!”

“older brother! What about the drama?”

Jaeik lightly hugged Na Youngjin with a genuinely happy expression.

I thought I would be at the end of an OMCTV drama for a while, but how can I not be happy to see my face in the United States?

“As soon as it was over, I got on the plane right away! Ooh, if I was really late for a day, I almost couldn’t have done it!”

Only then did I look closely, and it was clear that Na Young-jin had dark circles under her eyes.

“Still, thanks to you, I feel reassured. It was pretty daunting to prepare. right now “

Na Young-jin raised the corner of her mouth at Jae-ik’s reaction.

“Hyung, can you…?”

In the front yard that Na Young-jin went out with, a huge food truck and an even bigger camper were showing off their majesty.

“I have finished all the preparations. You just need to leave your body!”

“Huh. It was a little noisy outside earlier, was it because of this?”

“Did you hear that? I said it was a surprise, so it was handled quietly.”

“Because I have clear ears. It’s good.”

Jackie smiled and nodded his head. Because I had packed everything anyway.

“ah. By the way, I also loaded all my luggage.”

Next to him, Kang Seok, holding the camera for the first time in a while, drew a V and grinned. Next to him, Joo Soo-in, who finished filming the movie, is holding the camera and smiling happily.

“ruler! Then, let’s start right away without any back and forth?!”

Estimated total travel distance 4,515 km. Estimated driving time 42 hours.

The main character is me alone. Cameo Undecided. Directed by Na Young-jin, cinematographer Um Kang-seok, Joo Soo-in and helicam expert. Audio team, even coordinator.

It was a really large group.

“Jaeik, Slate!”

Jaeik, who was handed a slate with Day-1 written on it, turned to the camera in the center.

widely-

said, hitting the slate.

“A sudden American road trip. let’s begin.”

—

After tidying up, Jaeik told the security company that he would be away for a while and got into the driver’s seat of the camper.

The food truck was supposed to be driven by staff taking turns. It was planned to be used as a food truck during normal times and as a food truck when there is work.

The people in the camper were me, Kang Seok, Na Young-jin, and Joo Soo-in.

“Hehe. A cross-American road trip. I’ve always dreamed of a variety show like this.”

“Hyung-nim, didn’t you turn into a drama director?”

Na Young-jin vigorously shook his head at Kang-seok’s question.

“These days, thanks to Jaeik, the N job is back in fashion. I work as a drama director, a variety show director, and a nutube director. Is there anything I can’t say? You do whatever you want to do.”

“Right, right. You can do whatever you want to do.”

Jaeik giggled at the answer and drove to the outskirts of Hollywood.

Anyway, the destination is in the direction of Broadway in New York, so I knew it roughly.

“Would you like the title of Part 1 to be more like Beginning?”

“How about going to Begins after the Night Knights series? indirect advertising. Could it be that there is a production manager who will understand this level of parody?”

“Beginning or Begins. You have to tell us your destination. Do I go my own way?”

At Jaeik’s words, who took the steering wheel, Na Youngjin pressed the navigation button with a sad expression.

“ruler! The first stop on this trip is Joshua Tree National Park. We’ll be heading to Las Vegas after spending the night here. The first event will be held there.”

The distance is about 260 km. Estimated driving time is three and a half hours. I wondered if it was just right for the first destination.

Although the trip has just begun, it is already time for the sun to rise. I thought maybe it would be the time when the sun went down and night came soon.

“They say the stars you see in Joshua Tree National Park are so pretty. I have to capture it on camera.”

“Five. I heard that the sunset here is okay too? A lot of you tubes will be selected.”

Joo Soo-in muttered while looking at his phone while fiddling with the camera.

It’s been a while since I came to the US with Jaeik, but all I’ve done so far has been shooting movies, studying filming, and watching various movies that aren’t easily seen in Korea.

I couldn’t even dream of traveling because of my busy daily life. But all of a sudden, it’s crossing the US. I wondered if everyone on Jaeik’s road trip was thinking the same thing.

90% of them were Koreans, but who would take a cross-American road trip?

“A star. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a real star. There really isn’t much to do in Korea.”

“It’s not that there aren’t any stars in Korea, it’s because my older brother was confined to the editing room.”

“I’m not just beating people like that with facts, Kang Seok-ah.”

As I got out of downtown Los Angeles and drove down the desert roads on both sides, the sun was setting behind me, and people’s conversations in the camper still rang out loudly.

‘It’s good.’

It was really good. How long has it been since you felt this refresh? Does it feel like going on a trip with friends before enlisting in the army?

These days, once you start working, you really rush without a break.

“Big. It is a picture wherever you take it. it’s a picture It’s awesome.”

“older brother. It’s just a wasteland. Only wind turbines are densely packed”

“Kuhmm…! no romance romance.”

Na Young-jin also knew that he was overdoing it, so he bruised Kang-seok while clearing his throat with an embarrassed expression.

If you had been to the US, how long would you have been? Of course, I visited a few times while I was at the broadcasting station, but it was all because of work, so even this wasteland is strange.

Isn’t it something really American? A picture that reminds me of a certain romance I dreamed of as a child.

It was around sunset when I arrived at Joshua Tree National Park due to unexpected traffic jams.

The camping car and food truck were parked near the prearranged Airbnb accommodation, and the staff busily continued preparations for filming.

No matter how much it sounds like a trip, it was also filming.

Jaeik stretched his aching back and inspected the ingredients in the food truck.

Still, it’s the first day of my trip.

“Hmm. They just bought it because it wasn’t their money.”

Ingredients in the refrigerator were truly staggering. In the first place, the number of people was almost 15 people, but how many days would that 15 people eat?

I’m sure I’ll stop by the restaurant in the middle of the city.

And the most important fact.

“He puts out a lot of tea to have a barbecue today. Kang Seok is you, right?”

“Did you hear it?”

At the very front of the refrigerator, various kinds of meat were put on display. That’s even uncut chunks of meat.

Besides, apparently at first glance, the trunk of the car was full of tools to light a fire.

well, it wasn’t bad Aren’t everyone here anyway their own employees?

When Jaeik took the meat out of the refrigerator, Kangseok and other employees clenched their fists.

“Come on, make a fire.”

“Yes-write!”

Kang Seok playfully piled wood and started to set fire, and Jae-Ik shaped the meat to fit the size of the fire.

Salad to accompany the side.

Joo Soo-in gulped as if her mouth was watering and captured all of Jae-ik’s cooking scenes on camera.

And when you have finished trimming the material to some extent. I felt a strong orange light dizzy in front of my eyes.

Let’s raise our heads.

“ah.”

The sun went over the wide land and the line, spraying a strong sunset.

The light clouds were dyed red by the sunset, and on the other side, the dark blue night sky was rushing in with the twinkling stars as if driving away the sunset.

To the point where everyone stopped what they were doing and captured the sunset at the sight of the sunset, which cannot be expressed in any words even in a photograph.

“It’s really cool.”

As the sunset receded, the stars were tightly packed in the indigo sky, creating a magnificent view as if they were pouring down toward us.

First day of road trip.

It was like seeing the best view of my life.

At the same time, with a vague confidence that this trip will work out.
