Chapter 374 The First Scene Under the Stone Wall of Deoksugung Palace
Most of the supporting roles in the drama "Goblin" are Korean actors, and Wu Yuan also met them during the script seminar.
Although he couldn't call out the names of these people, most of them were indeed familiar to him. They had contributed outstanding performances in dramas such as "Full House", "My Girl", "Boys Over Flowers", and "Witch Yoo Hee", and they were all considered the golden supporting roles in the Korean TV drama circle.
There was only one role, the grandfather of the chairman of the Liu family Liushi Group who worshipped Goblins for nearly a thousand years in the script, and was played by Ge Da Ye as a guest.
However, Ge Da Ye would not come to Korea until the filming of his scenes was concentrated later, and it would take three to five days to shoot.
Ge Da Ye is the number one male actor in the mainland, and he is very busy. He will also shoot "Let the Bullets Fly" in the second half of the year.
Even if it was just a guest appearance, Wu Yuan was embarrassed to get it for free, so he offered him a guest appearance fee of one million, which was also a top friendship price.
On January 11, 2009, "Goblin: The Lonely and Great God" officially started filming in Seoul, South Korea.
On the day of the start of filming, the crew was very low-key, and did not hold any lively press conferences, nor did they invite many Korean journalists and media.
However, the news of the start of filming of this drama still spread throughout China and South Korea at the first time.
Most of the local Korean media are curious about this cooperation project between tvN and Guangying Times.
This is the first Sino-Korean co-production of a TV series, and it is of high standards from the beginning. It is one of the hot news in the Korean entertainment industry in recent months.
[Asian giant director Wu Yuan starred in a TV series for the first time, cooperating with his girlfriend Liu Yifei, a Sino-Korean co-production, a strong combination! ]
[Lee Dong-wook joined the Sino-Korean co-production "Goblin", and competed with Chinese director Wu Yuan and Asian goddess Liu Yifei in acting! ]
[Being spotted by director Wu Yuan, Lee Dong-wook was selected by director Wu Yuan to join "Goblin" after "My Girl". International director Wu Yuan also likes this outstanding actor from the Republic of Korea! 】
Such news is everywhere in Korea online and offline. Most of the local Korean media have focused on the only Korean lead actor, Lee Dong-wook.
Being noticed by Wu Yuan, an international director and a top Hollywood director, is certainly worth the Korean media's boasting.
After the news of his joining the crew spread, many Chungmuro film companies began to study his personal information, and some film projects that were being prepared also cast their eyes on him.
Originally, Lee Dong-wook, who could only hang out in the TV drama circle and had no access to film resources and was facing the requirement of military service, suddenly had his acting career opened up. The urging of his military service was replaced by various film invitations that came in like snowflakes.
The Korean military service department no longer urged him to serve in the military, and the film companies in Chungmuro were also optimistic about his acting skills.
But in the face of these olive branches coming one after another, Lee Dong-wook was still very calm. He did not dare to be distracted to deal with these invitations at all, and his mind was focused on how to shoot this TV series first.
No matter how many domestic film invitations there are, is it better to be promoted by Wu Yuan and go to Hollywood to make a movie?
Even if the probability is very small, at least we should go all out to fight for it.
Seoul, Deoksugung Stone Wall Road.
The crew of "Goblin" is busy setting up the camera positions before the start of filming.
Wu Yuan, wearing a woolen coat and a turtleneck sweater inside, is standing next to the monitor with interest.
Of course, he is not robbing the director Song Yang's work, but just standing by and watching quietly, and chatting with Liu Yifei, who is wearing a Korean JK school uniform and a sweater.
"Xixi, there is a legend about this Deoksugung Stone Wall Road."
"What legend?"
"It is said that the people living in Deoksugung are all concubines who have lost favor, which is what we often call the "cold palace". The concubines in this palace died with resentment because they were not favored, and they also cursed the couples who passed by the stone wall road to break up~"
"So Korean couples generally don't walk this road together."
"But we are going to shoot on this road next, do you think we will..."
Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at Wu Yuan in annoyance: "Why, are you hinting that we should break up after filming this TV series?"
"How dare I." Wu Yuan smiled embarrassedly, "This is a feudal superstition."
"I also heard that many Korean couples now deliberately want to walk this stone wall road together to express that their love is indestructible, and even curses will not succeed on them."
"Now this section The road has become a must-visit place for couples in Seoul. If you don't come here once, it seems that you can't prove that your love is strong. "
A Korean translator who was assigned to the crew heard Wu Yuan's louder voice and nodded in agreement: "Director Wu is right. Now Stonewall Road has become a holy place for couples."
"I think it's because of this that the crew chose this place as the filming location for the first meeting of the hero and heroine."
Liu Yifei nodded slightly with satisfaction and poked Wu Yuan's chest: "Don't joke like this next time, I don't like it!"
"It's not the behavior of a mature man to joke about breaking up all the time."
Wu Yuan coughed dryly and changed the subject awkwardly: "Everything is almost ready, can we start shooting?"
Song Yang, who had been watching the monitor and directing the placement of the camera, nodded knowingly: "It can start, let's try a few shots first to find the best shooting angle."
Wu Yuan then smiled at Liu Yifei ingratiatingly: "Xixi, let's start filming."
This is the first scene of the crew, and it is also a relatively simple scene.
Although it is the first meeting between the male and female protagonists, there is no dialogue between the two. They just walked from opposite directions and passed by each other. Wu Yuan stopped and looked back at Liu Yifei's back.
How to shoot this shot beautifully, beautifully, and with the romantic atmosphere of idol dramas is something that directors and cameramen should study.
As an actor, Wu Yuan only needs to follow the director's requirements and walk a few more times on this not-so-long Deoksugung stone wall road.
Not to mention, as a director who is used to giving orders, he doesn't need to worry about anything now, he doesn't need to consider anything, he just needs to wait for the director to say "start" and then walk on the street.
This feeling is quite novel to Wu Yuan.
After removing the director's overall planning, watching the camera position, and considering the overall effect, Wu Yuan, who only needs to focus on his own performance, is very relaxed.
He stood under the eaves of the stone wall with a smile on his face, holding a briefcase in one hand and putting one hand in his coat pocket. After fiddling with the "mature" hairstyle specially made by the makeup artist, he stretched out his hand and made an "OK" gesture.
"Okay!"
"All units get ready!"
"Start!"
