087. Pork belly, direction and dream

[(Perfect. I sent it to Mflix right away because it didn’t seem to need any further editing. The enclosed BGM was also perfect. I don’t know who made it, but I don’t know who made it. The atmosphere of the novel is very well melted.)]

[(In the meantime, you’ve matured more. I’m looking forward to the novels you’ll create.)]

It was Stephen King’s reply that came a day after I sent the mail.

“What? Right to Mflix?”

It was just a rough draft with minor revisions. They said it was perfect and sent it straight to Mflix. That too along with Jeongyeon’s background music.

Besides, didn’t he send 10 copies of the script completed last night to Mflix at once?

“I guess I’ll check it soon.”

The time difference with California is 16 hours. It’s 9:00 in the morning, so it must have been around 5:00 in the US.

Weiying-

And sure enough. As if he had waited, Jaeik confirmed that Natalia had called and touched the call button with a smile.

“It’s been a while. Natalia.”

– Wow- Author! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! no hell!

(Haha- I’m talking. I’m talking.)

Perhaps having read both works, Natalia was at a loss for words and continued to spit out exclamations.

– What should I say? Awesome? Crazy? Wonderful? It makes me realize that I am so lacking in vocabulary.

(I’ll just say it’s perfect.)

-Right! perfect! As the writer King said, it is literally a perfect work. Oh my gosh.

Natalia made a fuss and agreed with Jaeik’s words. Literally perfect.

– Of course, the script goes without saying. I handed over the script to PD Jung, and I think I will set up a shooting date and a studio and start filming right away. Like last time, I think we will continue filming in Korea and America. I have already contacted all of the main actors.

(That’s fortunate.)

-anyway. I think I will coordinate the schedule and start filming for season 2. Season 2 is also exceptional. I can’t wait for the moment when it opens. If so, what will the next season be like?

I don’t know about Mflix yet, so I decided to become a villain. The prequel was written with a clear ending from the beginning. Because of that, along with the rapid development, I was steadily moving towards the ending.

-ah! And I handed over the data to the game development team, and they said the same thing. They said it wouldn’t take that long because it’s already done coding.

(Ugh, what about gold lacquer?)

– It’s not gold. Chairman Reed also read the author’s work first and was at a loss for words. ah! Come to think of it, who made that music? The atmosphere of the raw is alive as it is. You said you had to pay the price and buy it because it really fits the atmosphere.

(Ahaha… that’s it. I’ll tell the composer tomorrow and deliver it to you. I just sent it with you in the sense of thinking about that kind of atmosphere, but he said he liked it.)

-yes. By all means!

The 2nd week of my winter vacation starts tomorrow. As soon as filming started, I wanted to add one more episode.

“Mr. Jaeik!”

Read at noblemtl. com

Late afternoon. My winter vacation filming team arrived one by one to prepare for filming.

As soon as Na Young-jin arrived, he put everything aside and held Jae-ik’s hand. His face was full of smiles, and it seems like he put a lot of energy into his shoulders compared to the last shoot.

“How you doing? It’s been a very long time.”

“It’s been less than a week…”

“Ugh! That’s long enough! How much happened in the meantime! Even if you turn on the internet search box, everyone is talking about our variety show!”

“ah! But since the last shoot, there hasn’t been anything special. Even if I took a picture, I don’t think there will be anything useful.”

there was nothing It took me a day to pack my stuff from Seoul, and all I had to do was work on a manuscript for Stephen King, learn to code, and talk to Mflix.

“It’s okay, it’s okay! Starting today, I just need to pick a good picture for another 3 nights and 4 days of filming!”

No matter what Jaeik said, Na Youngjin didn’t erase his smile and just nodded his head loudly.

Because Na Young-jin is in a very good mood right now. Isn’t it obvious? A program that almost got stranded due to a cast member’s drunk driving is flying more than expected, and the first episode recorded a 10% viewership rating.

As a result of looking back on the reason, I found out that Jaeik’s fan club played a part. Seeing that even before the airing, Jaeik appeared as a guest, so there were a lot of posts calling for a live broadcast shooter.

Of course, on the same day, there was even a broadcast certification relay. It meant that he was not just a YouTuber with close to 5 million followers, but also had that much influence, and at the same time, he had a lot more than that.

And if it’s an entertainment PD, of course. Wouldn’t you want to take out all of those hidden charms?

“Jeongyeon said she would arrive tomorrow as soon as it dawned. By the way, what kind of content do you want to learn?”

“For PD-nim, it’s entertainment production.”

“Entertainment directing?”

“yes. I have learned drama, movie directing, and game planning, but I was curious about what kind of field it would be to direct or plan entertainment.”

‘Is it true that he directed the Mflix drama by himself? Having said that, I think you’re really interested. certainly.’

Even if this industry is big, in the end, it is bound to be connected as someone’s junior, classmate, or senior, and I have heard rumors about Jaeik from PD Jeong Dae-yoon through the drama’s motivational PD.

Although many conversations took place. In short, it was this. genius. real genius.

‘Are you a real genius? He said he directed the drama himself. He writes the script himself.’

Then it was understandable that he was interested in entertainment. I don’t know if I’ll do real entertainment or not. what is it Suddenly, you won’t be doing variety shows at a broadcasting station that you have no contact with. Even if you do, it’s better if you do it with yourself.

“Five! That part is completely my specialty! Still, I have some value in my name in this industry.”

“a. Would that reputation be worth a simple name?”

A PD who opened a new horizon in entertainment, a PD who broke down the wall between actors and production staff, the founder of seasonal entertainment and web entertainment, the king of TVM entertainment, one of the two major entertainment PDs, and the first entertainment PD to win the Baeksang Arts Awards.

Although he was such an easy-going and laughing PD, those titles were never simple or easily obtained.

“This is true. It’s embarrassing. In a way, Jaeik is a better person than I am.”

While talking with Na Young-jin, the staff preparing the dinner took out thick pork belly from the lid of a huge pot and a black plastic bag.

“Everyone, let’s prepare dinner!”

“Is it pork belly?”

“Everyone said that the pot lid was stuck in the pot lid the other day, so let’s try it today. Jaeik, take a bite too.”

Perhaps because they were the staff who shared the joys and sorrows of Na Young-jin for decades, lighting the firewood was also of a high level.

“Shall I bake it for you?”

At those words, Na Young-jin swallowed his saliva without realizing it. It was because he remembered the taste of the meat he ate last week.

“Ah, that. Still, I’m a cast member…”

Even if he said that, the reactions of the eyes and the reactions of the body that he saw through mind reading were honest.

“Although they are part of the cast, aren’t they master and disciple anyway? I would learn directing and learn camera techniques.”

“is it···?”

“Yes. Tongs please! I grill the meat!”

“Ooh! Is this the meat you ate last time?”

“Absolutely! hey Kimchi, bracken, chives, and garlic are all well prepared.”

“The meat Jaeik prepared last week should have been so delicious. But the taste wasn’t good either.”

“Hey. Absolutely. These are all chef skills. skill.”

Having said this, Youngjin reluctantly lowered the corner of his mouth that was slightly rising and nodded.

Of course, there were reasons for doing this. Of course, there were many talents to learn and eat from the division, including Na Young-jin, but the influence he had on this industry was honestly enormous.

One thing Jaeik has definitely felt while meeting so many people and going through so many situations.

that no one knows what people do. You never know when, where, or how your relationship will become entangled.

Aren’t Daniel Duke and Stephen King the people he expected to meet at all?

I was also looking forward to how this relationship would become entangled and bring something new.

Chi Ik-

The sound of meat cooking echoed through the lid of the hot pot, and the staff sat near the lid of the pot in twos and threes, everyone holding a glass in one hand and chopsticks in the other, waiting for the meat to be grilled.

Unlike the last time, only a few fixed cameras were installed, and it was literally a dinner party. of the staff and cast.

The meat was cooked fairly quickly, probably because it was a hot pot lid, and the meat was quickly cut and the meat cooked on a plate.

“I will enjoy this food!”

And the chopsticks rushing in as if they had been waiting.

Jaeik put the meat he had grilled in his mouth and spit out the words that it was delicious and smiled all over his face. For some reason, he felt better.

“To fulfill your dream, you must become a film director. not PD. After all, being a PD is a job that crosses boundaries, so you have to be flexible all the time. One thought of wanting to make something. And even the flexible thought that you can change that thought at any time.”

Na Young-jin, drunkenly with a drink or two, scratched the fried rice with scorched rice, swallowed it, and continued talking.

In the meantime, it is a bonus to say that boiled rice is the best.

“It is a job that requires both the intuition and rational thinking of an artist. It straddles the line between art and business. A beggar PD is a job that keeps discovering what the public wants.”

“The boundary you mentioned earlier?”

“Is not it! After all, Jaeik knows you well!”

After talking to Jaeik, they exchanged conversations and drank as if they had known each other for several years.

“A movie or a drama. Or, I don’t know the genre that all other directing goes into, but at least in entertainment, my directing philosophy is simple. Walking a tightrope between the familiar and the new.”

“Well. I think I understand what you mean. It’s like a web novel. familiar yet new. If it’s too the same, it’s boring, and if it’s too new, it’s uncomfortable.”

“Ha ha ha! Also! right. It’s not Hanbo. just half a step You should be only half a step ahead. Because the difference comes from that one point difference.”

“Right. But it is difficult to always keep that one edge.”

“right. I think you learn from everything. looking at it from a positive perspective. Can’t everything go my way? If so, you have to find an element that makes you feel a sense of accomplishment in a given situation.”

It was purely from experience. No matter how many different experiences I’ve had and I’ve been doing various things, the gaps in those experiences couldn’t be easily filled.

“I think any content culture today is never limited to one thing. Even if our entertainment right now, there are many reviews that say it is an entertainment with a documentary rather than a pure entertainment. whatever it is The word convergence is used a lot these days, right? It’s a fusion of genres.”

“Yes. Even if you only watch entertainment right now, what kind of scene will you put in the arrangement of props from the shooting. And what scenes did you direct? It’s all a collection of different domains rather than one domain. As I said before, isn’t this program somewhere in the middle between documentary and entertainment?”

“right!”

Anyway, the important thing is that even now, at this moment, Jaeik’s directing talent was digesting and repeating, and only the last digestion was ahead. It was also the result of the high purity of Na Young-jin’s lectures.

“Hmm.”

While Jaeik was away to go to the bathroom for a while. Na Young-jin rested her chin on her head and lost herself in thought.

Jackie obviously understood what he was saying. I wasn’t just talking like a lecture, I was just having a conversation with a colleague in the industry. We even had a conversation!

Then, all of a sudden, I got curious. Why is Song Jae-ik constantly trying to learn something by challenging himself in so many different fields?

It’s not just about working in one area. As a freelancer. To be honest, if you have that level of talent, you’ll be welcome anywhere. Looking at my relationship with Mflix, I can just write works.

“Oops. The glass is empty.”

The empty wine glass is refilled. Na Young-jin asked with a serious expression. Because I was very curious.

“Jaeik. What are you stretching your feet in so many different ways for? no. What is your dream exactly?”

“A dream?”

Obviously, shortly after digesting my talent, I remembered that I was asked the same question again by Kim Hyun-jin when I was making an animation.

“At that time, my dream was to make something with my name on it.”

“Yeah, what? What’s your name?”

It was a small mumble, so Na Young-jin tilted his head as if he couldn’t hear it well, but Jae-ik shook his head.

[You are K-Culture from now on!]

“Puha-! It’s K-culture. No, it is my dream to stand at the top of the cultural content industry.”

Not just in Korea, but in the world.
