147 – Movie (5)
It may seem a bit obvious, but before filming a movie or drama, you always have to go through a meeting process.
Every detail, such as how to compose the screen and the surrounding furniture and background, is decided in this process.
And actors usually also participate in these meetings.
It is much better in terms of time and quality to communicate directly with the staff rather than just being notified without knowing anything.
But that was only about the main and supporting characters, and extra roles are almost always notified.
The main reason was that since the camera did not focus on them in the first place, there was no need to pay attention to such detailed details.
In that sense, director Go Dong-bin said that the flash mob scene in Fly High was literally a raw filming.
Audiences watching the actors performing in the central square as if fascinated by something.
They were not pre-cast actors, nor were they people who were talked about.
It’s just that strangers happened to be at the scene and their reactions were captured on camera.
Of course, this brought the liveliness of the scene to life, ultimately creating the famous scene that marked the finale of Fly High.
Anyway.
Students from Hanbit Arts High School participating in this film also had to receive notification.
Anyway, I’m not saying any lines, and it’s not that important of a role.
Since the number of people is close to 30, all you need to do is briefly explain the shooting composition and the content of the scene to be shot.
At least, Go Dong-bin, who was in charge of the scene, thought so.
In the auditorium of Hanbit Arts High School, Seol So-young, Park Ha-jun, and the students participating in this filming were sitting in an orderly row.
And standing in front of them were Seo Eun-woo and Go Dong-bin, and behind them stood the staff of Studio N Mix.
And those who gathered in the auditorium for today’s filming were all concentrating on Seo Eun-woo’s words.
“First of all, the first scene to be filmed is #5, and we need 12 people, right? The location is a classroom, as written in the script. First, let’s select 12 people. First of all, we need four female students for the scene where Soyoung and Garam have a friendly conversation with their classmates, but there are only men in the theater and film department. So, you can come out of the theater department. I heard that senior Kang Ye-rin decided it in advance…… “
At Seo Eun-woo’s words, exactly four students raised their hands.
“Director Ko next to me will explain the details again right before we start filming, but I will explain them in advance. #5, It is important to capture images of a normal classroom during school recess. And about halfway through, the sound will be filled with my monologue, but until then, the conversation between the heroine and her friends needs to sound the same.”
What Seo Eun-woo wanted from the female students in the theater department was just a reflexive reaction.
First, Song Garam’s role, ‘Yoo Min-ju’, will bring up the topic of conversation.
A common topic of conversation among students is the rumor that someone is dating someone in the class next to them.
At that time, all you have to do is utter a bright exclamation like ‘Wow~ awesome!’ Or ‘Really?’ And that’s it.
“It’s easy, right? And besides, there are students wiping the blackboard at the front of the classroom, sleeping face down, and…… “
With Seo Eun-woo’s quick progress, all of the students’ roles were decided in an instant, and now it was time to move on to filming.
“… ….”
But before moving on to that step, Seo Eun-woo slowly observed the students’ reactions.
Of course, not everyone was like that, but most of the students’ expressions were a little stiff.
It seemed like he was probably nervous ahead of the upcoming filming.

Actually, that was a natural reaction.
The students here have little experience with cameras.
No matter how big your role is or how difficult it is, you still end up on camera.
Also, he is probably worried that the moment he makes a mistake, filming will be disrupted.
In fact, Seo Eun-woo also sympathized with this fact.
This is also his first time standing in front of a camera, and his first time acting at a filming location where everyone is watching.
Since he was the male protagonist, he couldn’t help but be even more nervous, and because of that, he gave an NG from the beginning during the first filming that took place a few days ago.
But.
─It’s my first time, so you can make mistakes. Instead, I will keep watching until I succeed.
Seo Eun-woo glanced at Seol So-young, who was sitting among the students.
This is the words of encouragement that Seol So-young said to him during his first filming a few days ago.
Hearing those words, Seo Eun-woo suddenly remembered his memories from the NG incident two years ago.
At that time, Seol So-young asked Seo Eun-woo for the last time before the call ended.
Please continue to watch my acting until I succeed in this climax scene…….
And Seol So-young immediately showed off her best acting skills as if to show him off.
Because of this, there was an incident two years ago that Seo Eun-woo misunderstood as meaning to be watched because he wanted to brag.
But when Seo Eun-woo thought about those words at a time when the roles were reversed, he finally understood why Seol So-young had asked him such a favor.
Seo Eun-woo firmly believed that Seol So-young would perform the climax scene well.
Seol So-young also felt his sincerity through the phone call, and that is why she wanted to live up to the expectations of the person who trusted her endlessly.
Of course, this time it is the opposite.
─Then you just have to watch it once.
Seo Eun-woo confidently responded to So-young’s words, and in the filming that immediately followed, he repaid her trust.
And Seo Eun-woo must have gained confidence at that time, so filming continued very smoothly until now.
In any case, Seo Eun-woo felt the need to give such confidence to the students in front of him.
The beginning is the most important in anything.
In that sense, if you make a mistake or cause trouble from the beginning, it will remain as a trauma in many ways.
So……
Seo Eun-woo smiled and opened his mouth to the students.
“If you don’t know anything, ask anything. If something doesn’t work, keep trying. I didn’t put you in the filming to tell you to do well now. “If that were the case, I would have given him a supporting role like Garam.”
Anyway, these words imply that Song Ga-ram, who took on the supporting role, must do well.
The person in question glares at Seo Eun-woo as if he is completely dissatisfied, but the students who understand that laugh.
In such a slightly refreshed atmosphere, Seo Eun-woo continued.
“Anyway, later on, when you become an actor like Seol So-young or Park Ha-joon, you start demanding perfection. It is natural that you are not perfect now. In that sense, what I want from you is…… “
Just enjoy shooting.
This is exactly what Seo Eun-woo wanted to say to them at this moment.
“So it’s okay to make mistakes. It doesn’t matter if you miss your lines or if your movements are wrong. However, you must continue to show that you are working hard to do it well. Studio N Mix and I are fully satisfied with that.”
That’s the end of Seo Eun-woo’s words.
And Go Dong-bin, who had been listening to Seo Eun-woo next to him, smiled bitterly.
For the students in front of them now, Seo Eun-woo may simply be a junior at the same school, or he may be a friend from the same grade.
However.
It was clear that the words just given were warm advice from the author of 927 for growing sprouts.
It was truly obvious what it meant to the students in front of us.
‘Thanks to you, the filming may end faster than I thought. ‘Everyone seems to be in a better mood.’
Because of this, Go Dong-bin looked at Seo Eun-woo again with slightly admiring eyes.
For several days, including today, Go Dong-bin has been watching the 927 author by her side.
In short, he is a warm and charismatic figure on the field.
In other words, it meant that he was a good leader.
‘If you were this good, you would have appeared on the scene a long time ago.’
But the more Go Dong-bin realized that fact, the more he sighed.
Up until now, when I was making his work, I always heard about it from producer Na Young-jin, so there were a lot of uncomfortable things.
But how comfortable are we when we can hear each other right next to us, like now, if it’s good, or if it’s not?
Thanks to this, Go Dong-bin began to have these questions as he felt a clear change in work speed.
When producing the previous three works of the 927 author, if he had personally appeared on site and conducted the work as he does now…….
Perhaps the three works that are still receiving rave reviews from everyone could have been produced with better quality?
And Ko Dong-bin says he wants to check the answer to that question for himself.
Perhaps we will know that through the results of this movie…….
