I was immediately mistaken as a monster genius actor - Episode 306
Long take. It was a technique used quite often in filming movies and dramas. Normally, filming is done in breaks, changing the composition for each scene, but in the case of long takes, filming continues from beginning to end without stopping..
Of course, there are pros and cons..
Advantages include liveliness and dynamism. It also hints at and maximizes the psychology and atmosphere of the characters in the play. Because it gives a sense of realism, the viewer feels like they are breathing with the main character. In other words, the feeling of amplifying the audience's emotions or sensations..
On the other hand, there are quite a few disadvantages as well..
First of all, the difficulty of filming is quite high. It was comparable to the level of extreme evil. It is essential to retry several or dozens of times until a cut without NG is produced. In addition, even if it was slightly awkward, it was immediately noticeable, so the audience even started cursing. It is also greatly influenced by the actor's acting skills and skills. First of all, if the actor's skills are lacking, long takes are close to impossible..
Nevertheless, long takes are often seen in Hollywood..
As the disadvantages are clear, the advantages that emerge are very sweet. Ethan, the leader of the stunt team, suggested such a long take technique to producer Song Man-woo. It was clearly written in the first line of the description of the storyboard he upgraded..
10One minute long take.
Clearly, it was not an easy decision. If you think about it, there is no need to do this difficult long take. However, bearded producer Song Man-woo.
‘······Long take-’
I was interested.
‘I'm greedy.’
It was Song Man-woo, who had decades of experience. He also had a lot of experience with long takes. It was also used in the recent ‘Profiler Hanryang’. Kang Woo-jin was also included in that scene. However, producer Song Man-woo also knew that this was Woo-jin's first time doing long takes for action scenes..
‘But Woojin will be able to do it..’
In addition, if Ethan's experience sitting in front is added, there is a high possibility that a very impactful scene will be created. Producer Song Man-woo, who was looking at the upgraded storyboard for a moment, turned his head. The martial arts director was also seeing the same thing..
“what do you think about it.”
“······I want to try it. Honestly, you know that you can cover all action scenes with long takes if you do it right..”
“know.”
“But - 10 minutes. It's a 10 minute long take. I feel like this is a bit excessive..”
“That kind of thing is now coordinated by the martial arts director. Can I do it or not?.”
“Even if you can’t do it, won’t they make you do it??”
Producer Song Man-woo, whose smile spreads.
“I'm already hooked.”
“Look at that. Phew - the hardships are clear. Well, it’s me too, but I need to talk to Kagam (camera director) too..”
“leave that to me.”
It wasn't just the cinematographer. To achieve the 10-minute long take that Ethan suggested, many teams had to be mobilized. Not only the filming team, but also lighting, props, art, audio, etc. To put it simply, it's like rewriting the board. Of course, the script written by Choi Nana is the basis, and Ethan Smith's skills are added on top of it..
100% The workload may have increased several times, but bearded producer Song Man-woo's smile has become even brighter..
‘How do you discard this 10-minute long take and large-scale battle scene?.’
The long take scene felt like ‘chilling out’ more than 30 opponents in a slang term..
‘Being able to use pistols, rifles, bare hands, and various props quickly and in a variety of ways is a bonus..’
The storyboard created by Ethan has already caught the eye of producer Song Man-woo. It became more colorful and full of excitement. What's the speed like? Not only was the long take scene itself the same, but the entire storyboard's breathing became twice as fast. The impact and texture of the action were rough yet flexible..
‘Indeed...Hollywood Jjambap is not going anywhere?.’
Leader Ethan's action design is both trendy and rugged..
It was similar to a Hollywood action storyboard..
The truly upgraded storyboard is specialized for ‘CQC’. It seemed like it was a storyboard that would make Kang Woo-jin shine..
-Palak, Palak.
Producer Song Man-woo quickly turned over the storyboards. I liked all the scenes.
especially.
‘The speed control is amazing.’
It was a storyboard that was quick and mastered the skill of taking a breath. At this time.
“How is it?”
A serious Ethan across from me asked in English..
“If there is any problem, it can be corrected immediately..”
Producer Song Man-woo, who was caught laughing, shook his head..
“No, let's just fix this and polish it..”
“Before that, there are two things I want to make clear..”
“What is it?”
“First of all, the production cost. As you can see from the storyboard, things that didn't exist before have been added. Various rifles, props, special effects, etc..”
Producer Song Man-woo responded right away as if there was no problem with that..
“You don't have to worry about money problems because I will solve them even if I spend all my money..”
“······Next is the actor.”
“actor?”
“Mr. Woojin Kang. Even in Hollywood, there are many actors who are reluctant to use long takes. His opinion is important before starting the actual work, because we need to talk with the actors later to refine the storyboard scenes..”
At this, PD Man-Woo Song and the martial arts director's smile deepened, and PD Man-Woo Song took out his cell phone and said:.
“That won't be a problem either. But I'll deal with it while the word is out..”
“Right away? Anyway, the actor needs time to think..”
In fact, even in Hollywood, if you suggest something related to an intense long take to an actor, it may take a week for him to respond. It was Ethan who actually witnessed it. On the other hand, PD Song Man-woo's actions were unstoppable..
“Ah, Woojin, I’m sorry. Are you busy? Can I make a short call??”
I had already called Kang Woo-jin. Producer Song Man-woo then put the phone on speaker phone and asked:.
“Ethan, the stunt team, brought the storyboard design, proposing an unprecedented 10-minute long take cut of a large-scale battle. how is it?”
Kang Woo-jin’s answer took less than a second..
“No problem.”
after.
The entire team of 'Beneficial Evil', including producer Song Man-woo and Ethan, focused on the newly designed 'CQC' storyboard. We delivered it to the missing key staff, and began work on officially writing an upgraded storyboard with the martial arts director..
Of course, it didn't happen right away..
First, after drafting a new storyboard based on Ethan's, we had to go to Bangkok, Thailand, the actual site, and complete location hunting to complete the final storyboard. Local minor actors were also important..
This meant that there were very important issues to be resolved in Bangkok related to the overseas location to which we were leaving..
“Oh, and this overseas location hunting..”
Producer Song Man-woo, who has a beard, announced to everyone that he was going to Bangkok to do location hunting and other work..
“It will be out around the 10th of this week. The accompanying team must prepare thoroughly..”
7The departure date was around the 10th of the month. Of course, the stunt team, with Ethan as the leader, was also there..
Time melted behind me.
7The day was over and the 8th dawned. Today again, Kang Woo-jin had to be buried in his schedule. One was added there. It was a martial art of ‘good evil’ and ‘CQC’ practice. Other actors were already in the process, and Kang Woo-jin, who had recently met with the stunt team, also had to join..
『A foreign stunt team joins the 'beneficial evil' targeting the world? “You give me the right strength.””』
『[[Drama Pic] ‘Beneficial Evil’, which is widely rumored to be located overseas, has additional rumors and a Hollywood stunt team attached.』
However, Kang Woo-jin had less to learn than other actors. Because she was okay with skipping basics or training. That's what I heard from Ethan, who was in charge of Woojin..
“For now, we will focus only on long take scenes and combine techniques using swords, guns, and props. After we finish hunting for places in Bangkok, we will begin in earnest..”
A model of an AK rifle was delivered to Kang Woo-jin, who started practicing. Woojin was truly amused by the fact that it looked so real..
‘K- I tried shooting it through reading (experience). It's definitely lighter than the real thing, this one. Anyway, John Jam.’
I can't stand guns.
In addition, Kang Woo-jin quickly became close with leader Ethan and his stunt team members. First of all, having a natural conversation was a huge help..
“Woojin, why do you always have a serious face? I don’t think I saw you smile.”
“It's just my usual expression.”
“I'm more surprised by Woojin's physical strength than his face. Why is my breathing always constant? Even we pant sometimes.”
“well.”
“Did you learn that in the special forces too??”
“······”
After finishing practice, Kang Woo-jin had to schedule his schedule until midnight..
‘If there wasn't space, I would have died a long time ago.?’
Advertisements, pictorials, interviews, 'Kang Woo-jin's alt-character', and SNS-related filming. And there was also the recent filming of ‘Island of the Missing’, which changed the history of Korean movies and received 20 million thanks..
『The actors of 'Island of the Missing', who changed the history of the Korean film industry, smile brightly and greet fans at 90 degrees / Photo』
『“2000Thank you!” Director Kwon Ki-taek, Kang Woo-jin, Ryu Jung-min, etc. gathered in one place for the first time in a while.』
Of course, director Kwon Ki-taek of 'Island of the Missing' and all the actors gathered together to film, and later on, there was even behind-the-scenes filming of 'Our Table' in the form of an interview. It wasn't large. All I had to do was chat with PD Yoon Byeong-seon and other production staff at the officetel office of ‘Our Table’ for about an hour..
Lastly, we filmed a promotional video related to the animation ‘Boyfriend: Remake’..
It was ‘Male Friend: Remake’, which had already begun full-fledged promotion. Kang Woo-jin, who played the male lead, also had to attend, but since he could not go to Japan due to his schedule, Woo-jin had to produce a separate promotional video in Korea..
Kang Woo-jin had to organize this much in about two days, and he did it. It was on the night of the 9th that Woojin completed his entire schedule..
‘Wow, this is crazy.??’
This is the end of Woojin's Korean schedule..
Meanwhile, L.A..
It was early morning in LA. The overall atmosphere was a rush to get to work. However, there were many people who had already started their daily routine. Among them was a blonde woman in a spacious recording studio filled with various audio equipment. It was Miley Kara, a global superstar working with several foreigners..
-♬♪
A song that resonates throughout the recording studio. Kara's voice was alternately included and not. In fact, Kara, wearing her gray hoodie, had only arrived at her recording studio about an hour ago, and she was currently busy working on her new album..
“This part, the tempo needs to be a little faster.?”
“I'll call you again?”
“huh. I'll go a little quickly so please check..”
“okay.”
Miley Kara enters the recording booth and shows off her vocals. Her makeup today was light. But she was still attractive with her matching blonde hair and sarcastic appearance. A few dozen minutes like that. As she took a break from her recording work, she placed her butt on the plush sofa behind her..
And then I picked up my cell phone..
At the same time, the manager handed her a bottle of bottled water. It was Jonathan with almost half-shaven hair. Even as Kara briefly thanked her, she asked a question..
“The hotel is ready?”
“Yes, Kara, just like you said, I made a reservation for a 5-star hotel..”
“We are responsible for all people who come with him. You also need to provide a vehicle to move from your accommodation..”
“I know, I prepared it.”
“You really need to feel like you’re being treated well, so check it thoroughly..”
Kara, who had nailed it firmly, looked down at her phone again. Kang Woo-jin's Instagram was displayed on her cell phone screen..
“This time it's not a chef, but a vocalist. No, you are coming as my guest..”
this moment.
-♬♪
Her cell phone rang. A phone call came. When I looked at the opponent, it was Joseph Felton, a famous Hollywood producer. Soon, Kara tilts her head. Call me in the morning? A face like that. Whatever it was, Kara put her phone to her ear..
“joseph?”
On the other side of the phone, Joseph seemed to be in a good mood..
“Haha, Miley. Your face appears on a large billboard on the way to work. I thought about it and called. Is work on the new album going well??”
“Sure. Joseph, I heard you're busy too..”
“Well, I'm always busy. It's even more so these days because I've caught a new project. But Miley, it’s time to choose your next project, right? Because you usually choose your work around the time of a new album..”
“That's why I called.”
“Just wanted to know.”
“I'm still out of my mind so I can't think about anything. You also have to pay attention to the guests who will come soon..”
“customer?”
“Kang Woo-jin, you know this from the article, right? I'll be there tomorrow because I'm working on my album..”
For a moment, Joseph was silent on the phone and then asked again..
“······Kang Woo-jin is coming to LA tomorrow.?”
Around this time, back to Korea.
For some reason, the domestic media was in an uproar. In addition, Incheon Airport was also shaken..
『[Star Photo] Kang Woo-jin who appeared at Incheon Airport/ Photo』
『2000Actor Kang Woo-jin leaves for LA to work on album with Miley Cara!』
『‘Kang Woo-jin's brief interview with reporters before departure: “I'm looking forward to working with Miley Cara.””』
It was because Kang Woo-jin boarded a plane to LA..
