All-Round Genius Who Eats Talent

074. of Wonderland.

“Go carefully today! Go to the filming set and be nice to the writer! Don’t be discouraged!”

A small studio on the outskirts of Gyeonggi-do. Jin Gyu-hyeok left their small nest with his lovely wife seeing him off.

“Yes! Of course!

Jin Gyu-hyeok stroked his wife’s belly and smiled heartily.

Do you feel like you’ve recharged your energy for the day?

It takes about an hour and a half by car to the filming location. A used car that I bought with a big heart to move to the past filming location. He started his car with over 150,000 miles on it and connected the earphone jack to his cell phone.

[Listen and Repeat! I would say~]

“I Wood Say~”

[That’s a great idea! Let’s follow. I Wood Says A Good Idea!]

“I Wood Says A Good Idea!”

Repeated practice of English conversation on the way to work continued to flow from the speaker.

The road to the set was always happy. English conversation repetition practice practice for the future. It’s also the first time in my life to play a role with weight.

No, in fact, the role itself was so precious and precious. That’s why I was more grateful to writer Song Jae-ik, who gave me this role after seeing his acting at the audition, and I had to do well.

‘Besides, the last script of season 1 I saw yesterday.’

The most important fact is that he was not just a supporting actor. It is not just one of the important colleagues, but a person who draws a twist.

‘I can’t believe I have such a big role.’

I felt goosebumps all over my body. At the same time, there is pressure and excitement.

“Come to think of it, today is the day we shoot the first scene of episode 2.”

The set was quite tight, but at the same time busy and fast. It’s been a while since we started filming, but we’re already filming the first episode of the second episode.

I don’t know what the hell writer Song was thinking, but I rarely took the so-called preliminary cut. Just take the exact cut you need and you’re done. end. end.

However, it was truly surprising that there was almost no additional filming.

kiik-

“hello-“

“yes! hello. You may go in.”

“take care!”

While I was thinking about this and that, the car arrived at the filming location, greeted the security guard I was used to, and parked the car.

The parking lot was already full of fancy cars.

“hello. hello!”

Jin Kyu-hyeok entered the filming set greeting everyone he saw, whether he was looking at him or not, whether he made eye contact or not.

“Hi Kyu-Hyuk~ Are you energetic today?”

“Hello Director!”

There was still a lot of time left until the start of filming, but many actors had already arrived and were talking in groups of threes and fives. I’ve been to many filming locations, but is this the first time I’ve been to a filming location with such a good atmosphere?

“Hello everyone-”

And soon after, Jaeik entered the filming set, and smiles appeared on everyone’s faces.

“Gyu-hyeok, you came early? Isn’t this an afternoon shoot?”

“ah! yes! I don’t have anything to do, and watching other people’s shoots helped me a lot.”

At that, Jaeik smiled and raised his thumb.

“Oh, I saw the race yesterday. Congratulations on your 1st place. Did you rise to the top overall?”

I don’t know what the hell writer Song Jae-ik really is, but he seemed to be doing a lot of things besides his job as a writer.

Even if you just look at yesterday, didn’t you come to the filming set for a while in the morning and go to Inje, Gangwon-do right away?

It’s not like a drama filming location or something like that, but to participate in an ongoing motorsport competition. But there, we got 1st place again. And at the same time, it rose to first place overall.

“Did you see that? Ugh. Thank you. Since it was a night race, you must have been tired to watch it until late.”

“It’s a writer’s job, so of course you have to watch it! Interesting? I heard that next is the last race.”

“yes. maybe after 3 weeks? That will be the last race.”

“When the time comes, I will definitely go see it. I think the writer will rise to the podium for first place.”

“Ugh. It’s okay if you don’t do that. At least in Yongin.”

“If it’s Yongin, it’s close here!”

Jin Kyu-hyeok sincerely thought of going to see it whenever he had the time. To be honest, I was full of desire to look good. more than that.

I felt it while watching videos on the You Tube channel from time to time, but at the same time, should I say that I was inspired by the image of a writer named Song Jae-ik?

Even such a great person works so hard. I mean, keep trying.

“ah! We all have a preview of episode 1 today. Will you attend?”

“Absolutely! But are you out already?”

“It’s coming out soon.”

“Writer Song suffered a lot. To be honest, I did almost everything by myself, from editing to what and what.”

“a. The coach helped me a lot.”

“Uh ha ha. What is humility?”

And around an hour later, the actors who were filming today entered the set one after another. Faster than scheduled, faster. It wasn’t slow.

Originally, I thought the filming location was like this.

‘Am I weird? Or is it that writer Song is great?’

Because he only played a supporting role, he may not have seen the actual filming site.

“maybe. Is Kyu-hyeok thinking right?”

“hello! Seniors!”

“Ugh, what is it, senior?”

Jeongyeon, who had approached me before I knew it, smiled happily when she saw Jaeik laughing and chatting with many people.

“Did you think that Mr. Jaeik was amazing right now?”

“ah? Yes. to be honest. Although it is strange to say the age. I heard you’re not even in your 30s. You look really great.”

“But what’s so great right now is that I didn’t show even half of it properly.”

“yes? What is that?”

“Right. I’m really surprised too. I’m good at cooking too. It seems that he speaks 4 languages including singing, writing on the piano, webtoon, racing, and language. If you watch You Tube, have you seen the gangster video at the Cannes Film Festival? He is good at fighting.”

Jeongyeon opened her mouth once and started talking about Jaeik as if she were doing business.

“If you are curious about that, join the cafe.”

“A cafe? Is there a fan cafe for the author?”

“I am an archivist. Yes, this is Jaeik’s fan cafe. Just looking at what is listed there will surely be of great help.”

“Ah yes. thank you!”

“What is the name of that fancafe?”

Cha Won-gyu, who had been listening to their conversation before he knew it, asked Jeong-yeon as if he was interested.

“I am an archivist. Are you interested, too?”

“I am interested because I am curious about what the writer Song did. I hear the news everywhere. Are you good at cooking?”

“a. Do you think seniors will fall for you once they see you? It’s really good!”

I felt like I was Alice in Wonderland. Jeongyeon, Director Jung, who seems to be friendly with Jaeik, or the crew that goes to You Tube together.

Besides, this filming site was clearly far from the filming site he knew. The laughter didn’t stop. Not only the set, but also the actors.

“I envy you.”

really.

It’s been a while since today’s filming was over and it was past work hours, but 90% of the filming crew were still on set.

For voluntary reasons that no one forced. With a drink in hand, someone with a can of beer.

“now! Everyone sit down! If there are no chairs, just sit down anywhere! Subtitles will be unified in English! Most of the lines are in Korean anyway, right?”

Among foreigners, Hwang Chu-saeng has dual citizenship from the UK, so he speaks English well anyway.

“Sleep, everyone be quiet! Let’s see it soon. Curious! how it came out.”

Eom Kang-seok and Joo Soo-in installed cameras here and there and seated the actors. A large screen and beam were installed in front, and Song Jae-ik was sitting in front of the computer, preparing to play the first episode.

“Come on, let’s go!”

And when Jae-ik presses the play button and the video starts playing on the screen, he is at the very end of the group. I sat next to Natalia.

(Did you send it to the head office?)

(Yes. I probably sent the headquarters yesterday too, and I think I’ll check it when I go to work today.)

(I see. Then, the response will not come until tomorrow morning.)

Episode 1 was a kind of pilot episode to see the reaction. Besides, Reed Hastings was putting a lot of effort and attention into this work.

(I’m sure there will be a good response. I saw it too, and as an American myself, I thought it was really funny.)

Hearing Natalia’s words, he smiled lightly. Honestly, it would be a lie if I said I didn’t have even the slightest bit of a tight heart.

It wasn’t a penny-worthy project, it was a multi-billion-dollar drama. Besides, it was already getting a lot of attention. It was natural to be burdened.

It was simply a question of whether to collapse under the burden or to deal with it calmly. Of course, I think I handled it calmly.

(That’s fortunate.)

(You’re more blunt than I thought.)

(Dum-dum. I’m shaking a lot. I, right now.)

Natalia burst into laughter at Song Jae-ik’s reaction. Because this showrunner didn’t seem to be aware of what kind of work he was creating right now.

It has been over 10 years since I worked at Mflix. In the meantime, I have been able to say that I have developed an eye to see works of my own while watching, analyzing, and producing dozens, hundreds, or thousands of works that are difficult to express with countless words.

And when I watched the first episode of Song Jae-ik with that kind of eyes, I was convinced.

[I···! why···! Why… why…!]

And at the end of episode 1. The BGM that plays out in scenes where the main character is weeping.

“ha···”

It was a really crazy songwriting skill. In the process of searching, I knew that I could play the piano just as well, but I really didn’t expect it to be this good.

The music that was laid out along with the desperate acting of Cha Won-kyu is really good. Even though I had already seen this drama once, I was moved, but the actors I saw for the first time were already in tears. Some were in tears.

‘Was Umbrella Academy ranked second on the Mflix drama rankings last year?’

At least, I don’t know about Strange Things, which is number one. I had a strange conviction that it would come out better than the second-place work.

Piri-Rik-

With the sound of the door opening, Jin Gyu-hyeok entered the house.

already late at night. Filming overlapped with the premiere, so it was considerably later than the usual return time.

“I’m here?”

“What are you doing not sleeping! It was late at night.”

“I woke up~ Did the filming go well? Are you late?”

“yes. You did well today. It really wasn’t a joke today.”

“why?”

In the past, when I was in a minor role in a supporting role, if I talked about the filming set, I would just gloss over or avoid it. After I started filming this drama, I really liked the way my husband always put on a bright expression when he went and came back.

“I had an internal preview for episode 1 today. Oh, it was really creepy.”

“why? Did the drama go well?”

“It didn’t come out well. I’m in charge of Mflix. Natalie? Natalia? Everyone said that he was selected as the best of all time and that it would be good for everyone to look forward to it.”

“Oops. Is that enough? Won’t my husband become a famous actor?”

“Huh. Good then. I moved to a big house with my honey, gave my little one a room, and went to a good school. And I think the author is really great.”

“Why, writer?”

“Let’s see… Aki… Beast? Am I right?”

Jin Gyu-hyuk held out the screen of his phone.

“Wow, what is this? On the piano, in games, in cooking, in webtoons, in novels, in drama scripts.”

“So. I saw the subtitles go up later. he did it alone Composition, performance, translation, script editing. All Jaeik Song, Jaeik Song, Jaeik Song. He is a true all-round genius.”

“That’s really great. You said you were in your late 20s.”

“So. It makes me wonder what the hell he will do when he gets older.”

Jin Kyu-hyuk pressed the sign up button on the screen of his wife’s cell phone as if he had remembered something.

Because if it was a fan cafe of this kind of person, I had to join it unconditionally. And suddenly, as if thinking about it, he murmured.

“Wouldn’t it be fun to be with someone like that?”

—

(This is a very problematic piece.)

Reed Hastings looked at the video of Mflix employees and Jaeik and asked about the situation on the set in Korea, smiling as if he was dumbfounded.

(How was the situation on set right now?)

(Currently, they said they were filming episode 2.)

(It’s quite fast. Koreans say it’s fast. I never thought it would be this fast.)

(That’s right. I was worried because it was quite fast. What is this?)

(Honestly, even after watching this, I don’t have the confidence to wait until all 10 episodes are filmed.)

Reed Hastings had to decide. Like other works, will it be released on Mflix at once when all 10 episodes are filmed?

Unless that’s it.

(It goes into public release at the point where about 8 episodes are filmed. One episode per week.)

Is it going to be a way to release one episode per week, which is only used when it is a particularly hot topic or a work that deserves it?

(Eight episodes. One episode per week. I will deliver it like that.)

(And we start publicizing it on a large scale a week before the release. Then it will probably be easy to make a trailer. And all publicity should be done in consultation with the artist Song.)

maybe. Wouldn’t China feel like it was hit in the back of the head in an instant after forgetting Jae Ik’s work?

Of course, because I wanted that, I had delayed the publicity. Where would you like to eat properly?
