When I was in Reply 1988

Chapter 630 Confirmed
Compared with the full-frame 35mm, the photographer can capture a smaller range of images when shooting, which will affect the visual effect.

Traditional 135/full-frame film cameras advance the film horizontally.

In a movie camera, the film is advanced vertically.

This difference results in a reduction in the photosensitive area, making it impossible to capture the entire picture.

But it has one advantage, which is that it can widen the screen's visibility and increase the depth of field.

Near full-screen playback makes the visual images more realistic.

Lee Chang-dong bowed his head and thought for a while before saying, "It is indeed a bit bold, but no one in the current Korean film industry has tried it. If we use it, it will be the first attempt in the entire history of Korean cinema. If successful, it will not only be a breakthrough in technology, but also enhance the appeal of the story and the resonance of the audience in the film."

In fact, he didn’t say the most important thing.

The first time often represents honor and is remembered.

These two people have to be said to be geniuses, they have similar ideas.

Li Renyong sat up straight and said, "Since you like this script, we are here to invite you to be the first executive director. Do we have the honor to do so?"

Park Chan-wook looked stunned: "Eh? Didn't you ask me to be the chief director?"

Bro, how confident you are.

Li Renyong pointed at Li Changdong next to him.

Park Chan-wook turned his head and looked.

Li Changdong said with a smile: "I am the chief director, do you have any objection?"

There was a smile on his face, but his tone was chilly.

Fortunately, this is not Japan, otherwise Park Chan-wook would have to let him see what it means to overthrow the superior.

"No objection, no objection."

Ma Richeng took out a document from his briefcase and said, "This is a temporary contract, which will be in effect until the filming of the movie is finished. If possible, we can sign it now."

Originally, Li Renyong wanted to sign a 40-year contract, but Ma Richeng insisted on a trial period first.

He was afraid that this person had a bad character, and he would have a reason to kick him out.

Li Renyong couldn't argue with him, so he had to agree.

Their company is now in a state of rapid development, so they are not afraid that the director will run away after working with them.

What does a director want most?
In addition to investment, there is a good creative environment.

The country of Peninsula is different from other countries, it is divided.

Simply put, there is no sovereignty.

For example, what if Park Chan-wook wants to learn the Korean dialect?
We can only look for North Korean defectors.

Or, what if you want a gun?
At this point in time, a normal film company would definitely reject this request.

He is a North Korean defector, and he might be caught if he is not careful.

The Dongri Company founded by several people is a production company with a very complete execution system.

You said you wanted to understand the North Korean dialect, so I arranged for you to meet with North Korean defectors.

If you say you need a gun, I will ask around for you.

Before the official shooting begins, we will make all preparations for you.

The premise is that the finished film is worth the risk.

Park Chan-wook picked up the pen and quickly signed his name with a happy look on his face.

From being an assistant director to becoming the first executive director, what’s there to be unhappy about?

Now that the meeting is over, the only thing left is to find actors.

However, such matters are best discussed at the company, where detailed information on the actors can be found.

Lee Chang-dong touched his stomach and said, "Let's go eat, it's almost twelve o'clock."

Park Chan-wook pointed outside the door and said, "There are so many people blocking the way outside. You may not be able to get out."

Li Renyong said, "Hasn't it been a long time since you were banned? Why are there still so many reporters surrounding you?"

Park Chan-wook said somewhat embarrassedly: "You can see what kind of life I am living now. The day before yesterday, I couldn't help it and scolded them again. Who knew it would make the headlines."

You are very brave, bro.

Li Renyong patted his shoulder and said, "You are ours from now on, so don't be afraid of those things. Let's go out for dinner." Park Chan-wook nodded.

As soon as the group of five walked out of the door, they were greeted by all kinds of questions and flashing lights from reporters.

Several people kept walking and ran away.

I can't do it without running.

If we are surrounded, we won't be able to leave.

……

A few days later, the film industry received such news.

Teacher Li Renyong is looking for actors to star in his new play, and it's a bloody storm.

Who is Li Renyong?
Who in the circle doesn’t know this?

His script is a guarantee of ratings.

Those who had previously starred in his films were either newcomers or artists who had failed before.

Strangely enough, after starring in his movies, her popularity quickly rebounded.

Li Renyong's appeal in the entertainment industry is much stronger now than before, and he doesn't even need to remind people to send out audition invitations.

The actors came faster than each other and the conditions were very easy to negotiate.

Whether it is the pay or the schedule, everything can be negotiated.

Even some actors who didn't get an audition invitation became interested and asked others to find out the information in a roundabout way.

Is there any vacancy? I would also like to take part.

After all, the previous examples are there.

Who doesn’t want a second career boom?

There are a total of five leading roles in the movie "Joint Security Area".

There is only one female actor, and that is Jung Nam-joo.

Those who know the situation clearly dare not make any small moves.

Who doesn’t know the relationship between the creative team of Zheng Nanzhu and Li Renyong?

And now he is not just an artist.

He is also the audition judge for the film.

For the other four leading roles, the actors asked around to see who had received an audition invitation.

Do some small things in private.

Methods like smearing opponents are basic operations.

For a time, the atmosphere in the film industry was in chaos.

East Sun Company.

Zheng Nanzhu held the script and said, "There is one last protagonist left, and it is also the most important one. Let's send out some more audition invitations."

Ma Richeng said: "All the invitations that should be sent have been sent out. The remaining ones either have no schedule or are not suitable."

Lee Chang-dong smoked a cigar and said, "Didn't Yong say that he knew the protagonist?"

Ma Richeng said helplessly, "I don't know what's wrong with Ayong. He recently asked me to collect information about new actors, especially those who perform musicals. I don't think he wants to use musical actors."

Zheng Nanzhu frowned and said, "Uncle Ma, Ayong must have a reason for doing this. We should support him."

Ma Richeng waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Yes, yes."

Lee Chang-dong said: "This movie is about whether he can be exempted from military service. I think Yong will take it more seriously than us."

Park Chan-wook, who was sitting next to him, couldn't get a word in.

I discovered these days that they do things in perfect harmony.

Now I finally found an opportunity to say, "Didn't Teacher Li say that I should keep an eye on it every day?"

Li Renyong didn't care about these trivial matters. He still had to go to school. In any case, he had to review them in the end and act as the final auditor.
