shooting (3)
Wednesday afternoon, March 11th.
The ‘Heungshinso’ team is filming for the second day in Paju, Gyeonggi-do. It was past 5 o’clock and the filming location was an old cafe near the villa. It was a cafe combined with a restaurant. As if they had just finished a scene, about 15 staff members from ‘Healing Bureau’ were busy around the cafe. Cleaning up after.
There is a saying in the movie version that unfolds and folds.
It means setting up and organizing the situation, and even in commercial films, when outdoor filming is finished, it is quickly cleaned up. The short film had to be twice as fast to save on production costs.
anyway.
-Drop!
Top actress Hong Hye-yeon climbed into the van parked on the side of the road. As soon as she got into her van, she put on her long white padding, leaned her head against the backrest, and let out a long sigh.
“Whoa-”
As a bonus, she sweeps her long straight hair back. It has a certain atmosphere, like a scene from a shampoo commercial.
For Hong Hye-yeon, the filming of ‘Healing Investigation Bureau’ was completed with just the last scene. She was there for two days out of a total of five days of filming. It was originally a 3-day schedule, but due to her busy schedule and other things, the filming was made a little tighter. The scene just before was a two-shot scene with Kang Woo-jin, the main character of ‘Healing Office’.
Hong Hye-yeon, who was wearing long padding, ponders her emotions and the scene that remains in her mind.
‘It was a different feeling than watching it on a monitor. It’s different because I experienced it with my own eyes. I was a little intimidated in the middle, right? ‘Why did you do that?’
Hong Hye-yeon, who was questioning herself, chewed her lower lip.
‘Because while I was putting the acting together, I felt that my acting was disappointing.’
Hong Hye-yeon felt a sense of distance from her acting with Kang Woo-jin. Although she holds the title of top actress, her Kang Woo-jin background was still unknown. And yet she was far away. She felt so far away.
‘I don’t know, I think they decided to come in the middle.’
Because I didn’t trust myself, I asked director Shin Dong-chun for a few re-actions. As re-filming went on, Kang Woo-jin’s portrayal of Kim Ryu-jin became stronger, and the gap did not narrow.
Of course, in the grand scheme of things, her acting wasn’t bad.
No, it was actually good. Because director Shin Dong-chun was satisfied. Hong Hye-yeon’s acting skills were even higher among Korea’s top actresses. It’s just that Kang Woo-jin is such a ridiculous being.
‘How on earth do you do that? When you look at her, she expresses expressions that have been around for years in a truly dramatic world. With those eyes – just talent?’
She joined ‘Healing Bureau’ to uncover Kang Woo-jin’s crazy acting, but after experiencing it, she fell even deeper into the quagmire. She also received a new shock this time.
“······Kim Ryu-jin had a completely different tone from Assistant Manager Park. “How can the boundary between the two characters be so clear while the work is in progress at the same time?”
While Assistant Manager Park was sticky and profound, this time Kim Ryu-jin’s acting style was ingrained in a sense of sloppy life. Kang Woo-jin’s Assistant Manager Park and Kim Ryu-jin were completely separate. This is a skill that a rookie can never have.
“Do you have multiple personalities?”
Multiple personality. Yes, it could be seen as having multiple personalities. Their personalities are clearly different. At that moment, Hong Hye-yeon sighed.
“Is it possible to learn something like that?”
Kang Woo-jin even said he was self-taught. It was unknown at this time. It might not be possible. But she had to keep watching. Kang Woo-jin. Because she wanted to get better at acting.
Soon, Hong Hye-yeon.
-Sigh.
I took out my cell phone and called the agency representative. In other words, it was CEO Choi Seong-gun.
“brother! Kang Woo-jin, how much did you decide on the down payment?? what? “Isn’t it a bit small??”
Meanwhile, inside the cafe where the filming is in full swing.
Kang Woo-jin is sitting by the window of a generally shabby-looking cafe. Waiting to get in the car with the team. His current outfit was Kim Ryu-jin’s own, but his expression was expressionless.
But inside, it was different. I’m feeling pretty good.
‘I hugged him.’
To be exact, there was a scene where Hong Hye-yeon gave Kang Woo-jin a light back hug from behind. It is not a cut filled with affection. Rather, it was a scene that gave me goosebumps. But a back hug is a back hug. Hong Hye-yeon’s warmth was evident on Woo-jin’s back. For Woojin, a small-time citizen, it was something worth raising eyebrows about.
‘No, when will I get a back hug from Hong Hye-yeon? I have more to brag about to Daeyoung Kim.’
It was at this time.
“Mr. Woojin.”
A male voice woke Kang Woo-jin from his delusion. When I turn around, the square-jawed director Shin Dong-chun is smiling.
“What are you thinking like that?”
Back hug. Since he couldn’t say that, Woojin just answered in other words. Since we are filming, the acting must be good. Kang Woo-jin solemnly recited.
“I was thinking about the next scene.”
There was no lie so blatant as this. Director Shin Dong-chun, who had no idea about this, stuck the rolled up filming storyboard in the back pocket of his pants.
“Don’t push yourself too hard. They are already doing a great job for me. “If Woojin falls, it’s all stop, you know?”
“I will take care.”
Director Shin Dong-chun, with a satisfied smile, sat next to Woo-jin. Then he changed the subject.
“Woojin, haven’t you signed a contract with the agency yet?”
“Yes, not yet.”
“You must have received quite a few business cards at this ‘Profiler Hanryang’ reading, right?”
What is this, man? Should I lay down a mat? As Kang Woo-jin stared, square-jawed director Shin Dong-chun shrugged his shoulders.
“Well, I was also a drama producer in the past. I was pretty good? “A lot of entertainment officials attended the script reading, so I thought that if they had seen Woojin, they would have given him their business cards.”
“okay.”
“Are you worried? Hmm – I don’t know any other advice, but rookies or unknowns usually don’t receive a down payment when joining a company. Rather, it’s a situation where you have to pay money.”
“······”
“Entertainment is the one bringing in new talent and raising them, and they are the ones pouring money into it. Rookies and unknowns usually sign a contract for 7 years if it lasts 5 years, and after that, they can make a profit for 3 years at the earliest? “It takes four years.”
Here, director Shin Dong-chun suddenly changed his expression.
“But Mr. Woojin, get the down payment, get it and move in. It’s special, right? I’m already making money from acting, and the scale is ridiculously large. Oh, I’m not talking about mine, I’m talking about ‘a certain amount of profilers’.”
“yes.”
“You know that producer Song Man-woo and writer Park Eun-mi are amazing, right? Even top actors have a hard time joining that project. ”
I’m curious how much I should charge? When Woojin asked a question in his mind, director Shin Dong-chun began to give answers at will.
“The reason why entertainment companies covet Mr. Woojin so much now is because he went through his trainee days, which cost up to hundreds of millions of dollars. That’s bigger than you think. Money is money and time is also. “It takes three to five years.”
“I have a vague idea.”
“But what’s really scary is uncertainty. Even if you educate them, spend money, promote them, go to the production company’s broadcasting station, run sales, and raise them for three years, there is only one child out of a hundred that will become popular. The rest is completely ruined. “Even that is all about finding a small role, which is difficult.”
The entertainment industry is scary. Although there was no change in his expression, Kang Woo-jin was inwardly trembled. Either way, director Shin Dong-chun suddenly took a picture of Kang Woo-jin with his index finger.
“But how is Woojin now? You’re the main character in our ‘Healing Office’, right? In ‘Profiler Hanryang’?”
“Junior/supporting role.”
“It’s just the beginning, but without a gap of 3 to 5 years, you will immediately be assigned to the main character or supporting role? Even his acting is perfect, there is no need to train him. Star quality is also visible. It’s hard to say that you have to risk your life to run the business to even get a small role, but Mr. Woojin has made several times more on his own. “Wouldn’t entertainers drool over this?”
It’s going to be crazy. After listening to it, I understood it a hundred times over. It was Kang Woo-jin. Meanwhile, director Shin Dong-chun, with his arms crossed, thought for a moment and then opened his mouth again.
“I think it would be okay to ask for 20 million won as a down payment?”
Kang Woo-jin asked back fiercely. Of course, inside.
‘yes?! 20 million won???’
after.
By the time Kang Woo-jin was put back into filming ‘Healing Bureau’, ‘Profiler Hanryang’ was pouring out a waterfall of publicity saying that the script reading was over.
『[Star Talk] ‘Profiler Hanryang’ is currently reading the script, many stars are attending / Photo』
『Is this really a highly anticipated work? ‘Profiler Hanryang’, which was read in a rented condo, is the content as solid as the rumors say?』
Starting with a reading scene full of top actors and brief interviews with the actors, various rumors with proven sources were made known to the public through articles.
『[Issue Check] ‘Profiler Hanryang’ side “The first broadcast was scheduled for May”』
『’Profiler Hanryang’, which has a production presentation at the end of April, will probably be aired on Fridays and Saturdays』
『Who is the true scene-stealer actor mentioned by writer Park Eun-mi? Spreading rumors among netizens』
The first poster announcing the theme of the drama was also released. Against a background of billowing black and gray smoke, profiles with photos of the main characters, including Ryu Jung-min and Hong Hye-yeon, were sprinkled on the floor.
It emphasizes the feeling of being a profiler.
Of course, since this is the first poster, it will change when the official poster is released, but it was a success in sending a message to the public that production will be speeded up. A day later, on Thursday, the first teaser was released on the official YouTube channel of ‘Profiler Hanryang’.
-A taste of a script reading attended by a large number of top actors? I can’t stand this!!｜Profiler Hanryang

-2020. 3. 12
A 30-second short video that mainly focuses on script reading. However, the number of views for this video was not short.
-Views 1,001,332 times
Is it because of built-up expectations? Thanks to the destructive power that many big names participated in? The teaser video exceeded 1 million views in just one day of upload.
It was already late afternoon on Saturday the 14th.
Kang Woo-jin was found in the second-floor bathroom of the Paju villa. No, now he was Kim Ryu-jin. His eyes were full of wariness and he pressed his body against the wall. Kim Ryu-jin slowly hides behind the door.
Stay like that for about 10 seconds.
Someone shouted loudly toward the quiet second-floor bathroom.
“Cut!! Oh okay!!!”
It was the square-jawed director Shin Dong-chun, and he ran towards the calm Kang Woo-jin with red eyes.
“thank you! “You really worked hard, Woojin!!”
“Thank you for your hard work, Director.”
Because the filming of the short film ‘Healing Agent’ has been completed.
Same day, late at night.
The ‘Heungsinso’ team, including Kang Woo-jin, held a small dinner at a meat restaurant near their accommodation in Paju. The time was past 10 p.m. Unfortunately, Hong Hye-yeon was missing halfway through the schedule. Oh, of course, Kang Woo-jin feels sorry.
anyway.
“Please only place 3 servings of pork belly on each table here!”
“Yeah yeah-”
“Just give me three bottles of soju!”
At a place with 4 tables, the after-party for the ‘Heungsinso’ team of approximately 15 people began in earnest.
“Still, I had a fondness for that villa, but it’s a shame.”
“That’s right, it was completely comfortable, like my own home.”
“ha ha ha. “I can work hard and buy a villa, right?”
“Do you know why a villa is a villa? “It’s called a villa where you can pick the stars in the sky.”
The 15 staff members and actors were busy chatting about how they had become quite close over the past 5 days. Square-jawed director Shin Dong-chun looks at them with satisfaction. It was a feeling of pride as a new director.
In the meantime.
“······”
An expressionless man sitting next to director Shin Dong-chun. Kang Woo-jin, whose windbreaker zipper was up to his neck, was silently looking down at the cup. No, to be exact, I was looking back on the past 5 days that were mixed with ‘filming’.
‘I feel a bit strange. Feeling refreshed and sad?’
We express it as regret. Woojin still has some regrets. It’s been a long time since I felt a sense of accomplishment.
‘When I heard OK at the end of filming, I even felt a little nervous.’
It’s a short story, but it’s my first movie, my first shoot, and my first lead role.
Everything was unfamiliar to Kang Woo-jin at first, and the five-day filming was extremely difficult, but it was fun. Thanks to her unfamiliar environment, the novelty and excitement she was instilled every day was greater than the fatigue she was accumulating. Oh, of course, there was a mental burden on Woojin from maintaining the quality of her concept.
However, the conclusion of the main character, Kang Woo-jin, was ‘it was fun.’
‘I never felt this way when I was working at a design company. Well, anyway, it’s really tough. Is the short story at this level?’
It was Kang Woo-jin who suddenly imagined the pain of filming a proper commercial work or ‘Profiler Hanryang’. I got it right. ‘Heungsinso’ is a warm-up exercise.
‘Ha-I need to increase my stamina.’
Anyway, Kang Woo-jin’s life has changed dramatically.
at that time.
“Woojin?”
The female actor called Kang Woo-jin.
“Isn’t it hard? “You’re sitting very calmly, aren’t you?”
When the topic changed to Kang Woo-jin, the actors and staff added their words one by one.
“That’s right, Mr. Woojin, his expression didn’t change at all during the filming. “I thought it was amazing.”
“but. At the end of filming, Woojin was the only one who was really cool, right? “I don’t think I’ve ever seen you look tired.”
“At the same time, the tone of the acting is firm and unwavering. “It really wasn’t difficult at all??”
no? It was fucking hard. However, the pleading appearance did not suit Kang Woo-jin, who had a strong appearance. Somehow, I maintain a poker face. So the answer should be similar.
“It was worth holding on to.”
Behind him, director Shin Dong-chun laughed haha and tapped Kang Woo-jin on the shoulder a couple of times.
“I have good physical strength and a good mentality. To be honest, our Woojin lacks nothing as an actor. “Even if I was a drama producer, I would cast them right away.”
“thank you.”
“More than anything, we’re going to be deployed to a very large-scale site now, right? “It’s right that we shouldn’t give in to this.”
I know, I know. I had forgotten about it, but this guy reminds me of the fear. Whatever Kang Woo-jin’s true feelings were, other actors rushed in.
“Oh right! What are you filming? movie? drama?”
“Wow, I’m jealous. But Woojin admits it. “With that acting ability, you can do it anywhere.”
“When I see Woojin on TV or on screen, I have to brag to everyone around me. ah! Woojin, please give me an autograph.”
“···sign?”
As soon as the word ‘sign’ was spoken, all the actors raised their hands. It was square-jawed director Shin Dong-chun who stopped it.
“Hahaha, I’ll do that later. Mr. Woojin, the filming itself is finished. “I’m going to start post-production right away starting tomorrow.”
In other words, we are starting editing.
“But there will probably be some hindsight work.”
Director Shin Dong-chun gave a brief explanation. There will be audio post-production work due to rough narration, cuts where the sound is muffled by the surrounding environment, etc.
“I will do this all in one day. “I will contact you before scheduling.”
Although it was all knowledge and information he had never heard before, Kang Woo-jin calmly nodded.
“All right.”
I asked something I was curious about.
“Has the schedule for the ‘Mise-en-scène Short Film Festival’ been released?”
“No, not yet. The exact schedule is usually announced two weeks in advance. According to rumors, it will be around mid to late April. “There’s a little over a month left, so fortunately, I don’t think post-production work will be too busy.”
“okay.”
At that moment, director Shin Dong-chun’s eyes caught strength.
“Woojin’s cuts. So the quality of the ingredients is quite high. “The picture will be chosen brilliantly.”
Then.
“ah.”
Director Shin Dong-chun, who was filling Kang Woo-jin’s soju glass, suddenly changed the subject.
“Woojin, do you have a suit?”
suit? It has to be there. What I wore during the interview. It reminded me of the cheap suit that Kang Woo-jin bought on a buy-one-get-one deal.
“There is.”
“Um, but even if I have it, I’ll buy one. “Spend some money and become a decent person.”
“Is there a reason?”
“Honestly, before I met Woojin, I thought it was a dream, but for some reason I feel like it’s going to become reality now? You said it once last time, right? Among the hundreds of entries, only dozens of them make it to the finals of the ‘Mise-en-scène Film Festival.’ “There is also a significant portion of actor performance in the judging criteria.”
“yes.”
Here, square-jawed director Shin Dong-chun smiled with confidence.
“If a film is invited to the finals, of course the lead actor must also attend the film festival.”
He pointed to Kang Woo-jin.
“There are going to be amazing people from the movie industry, so I need to be in good shape, right?”
