9. Ripple effect in the name of the devil

What is the director’s position in the film?

The directing of a movie, that is, the director, controls the entire filming site and implements the screenplay into an actual video.

It is common to say that theater is the actor’s art, drama is the writer’s art, and film is the director’s art. Film is a field where the quality of a work depends on the director’s capacity.

“Yeah.. Looking at it again, the emotional line is so good.”

Director Ko Yo-han, who is in charge of directing ‘In the Name of the Devil’, was impressed by the acting of the cast while working on the final editing.

As a result, it was a very difficult task to select a scene that could be cut through editing.

There was nothing to be said about the so-called.

Ko Yo-yeon recalled an actor she selected herself through an audition.

Song Kyu-ha.

A new actor who overwhelms all the judges at the audition and was cast for the role of Jeong Won-geun by unanimous vote of the judges.

Director Ko Yo-han had a very unfamiliar experience as a director while working with Song Kyu-ha this time.

Since my days as an assistant director, I have met a lot of actors while rolling on rough movie boards for nearly 10 years, and I found out that the acting they show is similar yet diverse.

Isn’t Cha Kyung-seok an authentic acting actor who rose to the top with his acting skills alone?

However, while watching Song Kyu-ha’s acting, there were times when I wondered, ‘Is that really acting?’

Usually, after seeing great acting, it was common to think “Wow, he is really good at acting”, but when looking at Song Kyu-ha’s acting, there were even fears such as “It’s really scary,” “I could really die,” and “Maybe I’m not really crazy?” I feel it.

Even getting that feeling from a normal and gentle face made me feel even more creepy.

Didn’t all the actors who filmed the scene where he was actually killed by Jung Won-geun hurriedly leave the scene after signing the cut, complaining of symptoms such as continuing to sweat or trembling limbs and not being able to meet Song Gyu-ha’s eyes?

As a result, Ko Yo-han even thought that Song Kyu-ha might actually be a real murderer.

“Poop! It’s gone too far.”

Even thinking about it, the calm director laughed at the absurdity and shook his head as if to shake off his thoughts.

“But I’m sure there is something different about Song Kyu-ha from other actors.”

In any case, as a director, it would be nice to see Kyu-ha’s presence, who creates an overwhelming sense of liveliness as if the role is really alive.

Gohan, who is in a hurry to edit with a summer release in mind, started to focus on editing again, away from idle thoughts.

Time passed like a river and the premiere day of ‘In the Name of the Devil’ approached.

‘In the Name of the Devil’ attracted quite a bit of media attention just by the fact that director Ko Jeong, who has built up quite a reputation in the independent film industry, is taking on a commercial film for the first time this time, and actor Cha Ki-seok, who has resumed his acting career after three years, are together. received.

However, in daily life, there were voices mixed with concerns about the part where Director Sil-eum has not yet been properly verified for commercial films and whether Cha Kyung-seok lost his senses due to his acting hiatus.

Quite a few box office premieres were held here, and it was also the venue where the premiere of ‘In the Name of the Devil’ was held.

Famous directors, representatives of film production companies, officials from various investment companies, and famous actors, who you may have heard of at least once in the film industry, visited the screening room and filled up the seats.

Actors who appeared were also assigned invitations to invite acquaintances, and Kyu-ha invited employees who worked with CEO Seol Woo-don.

“Hey, isn’t Kyu-ha completely successful at this level?”

Kim Cheol-chun, who was always by Kyu-ha’s side at the meat plant, looked at the poster for ‘In the Name of the Devil’ and said.

“Oh no time!! Everyone, let’s get in! Let the movie begin.”

President Seol Woo-don urged the employees who came with him and hurriedly took their seats.

“They say you don’t know what your life will be like… It’s so strange.”

President Seol Woo-don suddenly remembered the first time he met Kyu-ha.

At first glance, a black-haired student who looked like a high school student came to ask me to work.

What was quite impressive was the fact that he asked for a favor in a calm atmosphere with deep eyes unlike his age.

However, I firmly refused because I knew full well that the job of trimming meat was arduous, and that it would be difficult for adults to endure if they did not have a tolerable sense of humor and readiness.

Even then, Kyu-ha said calmly.

“Of course, I think you will not trust me. We will show it in action.”

Then, without looking back, he went back, and from the next day, he went around the factory and did chores such as picking up trash and cleaning toilets without missing a day for a month.

CEO Seol Woo-don had no choice but to be concerned when Kyu-ha, who had thought he was going to quit because he was tired, kept coming out and working steadily, and he had no choice but to admit it later.

So I called Kyuha and talked to him again.

Why the hell are you trying to do this at such a young age?

“I just think I can do my best. And I have to work because my parents are not around.”

At that time, CEO Seol Woo-don heard all about Kyu-ha’s past and circumstances, and only then did he understand Kyu-ha, who was in an uncharacteristically mature mood, and felt compassion for Kyu-ha.

Gyu-ha was hired as a full-time employee by paying for his hard work for a month and providing lodging and lodging.

Gyu-ha began to adapt to the slaughtering and meat processing work faster than he expected, and by the time he was in his third year, he had become the most outstanding technology and heavy-duty employee in the company.

President Seol Woo-don, who secretly thought of Kyu-ha as a child, felt deeply moved that Kyu-ha, who lived a life completely unrelated to acting, became an actor in just one year and invited him to the premiere like that. I was proud that Kyu-ha, who had been living her life, seemed to have found a job she liked.

At that time, when I was immersed in contemplation, reminiscing about the past, the premiere event began in earnest, and starting with the director, Gyeong-seok Cha, Se-ho Jeong, Seung-gu Lee, and Kyu-ha Song started introducing the cast and giving brief greetings.

“I would like to thank all the distinguished guests who came to our movie premiere. I am Ko Yo-yeon, who directed ‘In the Name of the Devil’. Our movie is a work that contains the events that happen when demons with their own reasons become intertwined like fate. You will also be able to appreciate the bold acting of the actors who appeared.”

As soon as the screening began with a brief introduction by the director, silence fell inside the theater and the audience was immersed in the movie.

Why do movie premieres happen?

The purpose of holding a preview can be several.

Largely, it is to check the reaction of the audience, and in a small way, the direction of marketing or changes in movie editing can be implemented.

Also, the biggest reason why the importance of premieres is growing is that audiences no longer trust experts’ ratings.

Some movie audiences yawn and swear because they are not having fun while watching, but some critics often give the highest rating while talking about artistic value that they cannot understand at all. , and recommendations from friends who have seen the movie in person, the audience trusts more, and this eventually turns out to be a viral marketing effect.

Therefore, for the same cost, a proper preview can have a greater publicity effect than an indiscriminate advertisement.

The premiere of ‘In the Name of the Devil’ also showed a great marketing effect.

Even though the movie screening was over and the ending credits were rolling, the audience could not get out of the afterglow of the movie, and even after leaving the screening room, the audience was all talking about the movie.

And the reaction and reviews of these audiences quickly spread virally through SNS such as Outstagram and White Book.

ㄴI left a review after going to the premiere in the name of Devil. When I go to see it, I always bring a diaper.

ㄴ ㅋ ㅋ ㅋ ㅋ The atmosphere of the movie is so scary. My heart shrivels the whole time I see it

ㄴ In particular, the murderer’s eyes and acting are crazy. It’s more scary because it looks like it’ll be around.

ㄴ ㅇㅅㅇㅅ He really has acting skills, but who is he? Are you a new actor?

b He is the one who came to the palace of the Blood Sea for a short time. But even there, the dogs are scary hahahaha

ㄴ Anyway, it’s been a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time since I’ve been in the name of the devil! Must see! Let’s see it twice!

“Awesome. The number of viewers has already exceeded 1 million in just 5 days of release!!! Even though it’s a bill-and-buy movie, these numbers are really staggering!”

Gyu-ha, who visited the Stellar Entertainment office building after a long absence, smiled as he looked at Han Jeong-hee, the head of the office, who was talking to him while looking at him in excitement.

“That’s fortunate. Still, I like the start.”

“It’s not just nice! With this level of box office momentum, at least 5 million viewers can be expected until the coffin is lowered. Anyway, the PR team is also actively publishing articles related to Kyu-ha, driving this momentum, so we will be able to raise awareness a lot this time.”

“You are suffering. I am strong.”

“ah! And I have something to offer you, Kyuha.”

“A suggestion? What is your suggestion?”

“It’s nothing else, Mr. Gyuha, do you have any plans to appear in a variety show?”

“You mean entertainment?”

And no one expected that this entertainment appearance would be a huge turning point in Kyu-ha’s career as an actor.
