Yesterday, we set off bright and early at 9.30 am for a day outing involving Park Sihoo-ssi. We were watching him on set filming his drama “Local Hero” (“Neighborhood Hero”). It was so very exciting to watch our action hero in reel action! What a treat!
First stop was to the Donghe Duty Free Shop for some Park Sihoo-ssi “Dear Blossom” face masks! Imagine, 300 ladies making a beeline to the 5th floor for that tiny Skin, Soul and Beauty concession counter. What a big impact it must have made! Everyone was all eyes on that huge group crowding around the counter! Reinforcements had to be called to dispense the face masks and ring in the cash registers! The rest of the concessionaires must have been really green with envy! They must be wondering why their counters and sales were left cold when their products were endorsed by supposedly the biggest Korean stars who commanded the highest endorsement fees!
After getting our fill of Park Sihoo-ssi’s “Dear Blossom” face masks, it was off on set. I took the opportunity to catch up on my zzzzs during that one hour bus journey to the Paju Film Studios, which was close to the DMZ (demilitarized zone that separates North and South Korea.)
The filming took place in Studio B and we had to wait for maybe half an hour before we were let on set.
Guess what was in Studio B?
The famous Bar 이웃! Yes, we finally got to see Baek Siyoon’s Neighborhood Bar! It was huge, very well set up and comfortable!
All of us crowded in the allocated section of the film set, hoping to get the best spot to catch our hero in action. We had been warned in advance to keep absolutely quiet as the drama was using the latest technology and could pick up the slightest noise. Photograph taking was absolutely disallowed for copyright reasons. So you ain’t getting any “on set” photos from me!
Two scenes were shot when we were on set. One involved only Park Sihoo-ssi, shot in the interior of the bar. No idea what he was doing but it was a quick wrap in 3 takes.
The other was at the bar counter. Park Sihoo-ssi was busy wiping wine glasses when his friend strolled in. Apparently, they haven’t seen each other for a while. His friend was late for their meeting because he had just been let out from “prison”. His friend was wondering how he managed to find the money to buy such a nice bar…
A short segment but it took quite a few takes to get the director to call it a wrap. And our Park Sihoo boo-booed only once! He mis-read his line! He knew it and we knew it and we all had a good laugh!
Great job, Park Sihoo-ssi! You are such a pro!
Park Sihoo-ssi was focused on his shoot. We could see that he had rehearsed well. But with so many of his fans on site and visiting from afar, he couldn’t help but flash his gorgeous smile once in a while and sneak in a wave here and there in between shoots. And his high tech boy-toy camera, was of course on hand to capture selfies and photos of him and his fans.
We were in and out of the set in around half an hour, a very short period of time for such a long day. But we brought home precious moments for keeps!
More of the evening program later….
小区英雄现场拍摄!
昨天,我们一早9.30就出发参加施厚君的探班活动。大家都期待现场看他拍摄他的新剧“小区英雄”(“邻家英雄”)。因此,心情非常兴奋,兴高彩烈地出发!
第一站是到东和免税店购买施厚君的“Dear Blossom”面膜!想想看,300多 位女士直冲5楼到那个小小的Skin, Soul and Beauty 的专卖柜。可想象这个情景的巨大影响力呗!每位在场的人都目睹见证了施厚君的威力!为了应付那么多到来的顾客,免税店还要调来其他的员工帮助销售面膜和收银!其他专卖柜台的销售员应该是非常羡慕!一定很奇怪,为什么他们的柜台和产品都被冷漠了,他们可是用了鼎鼎大名,代言费收的最贵的韩星做代言人的!
买完厚厚的面膜,我们直冲拍摄现场。因为太累,我趁机在大巴上睡觉。从首尔到坡州的电影制片厂路程是一个小时左右。坡州电影制片厂靠近DMZ地区(分隔朝鲜和韩国的非军事区)。
拍摄是在电影制片厂的Studio B进行。到后,我们还需要等半小时才进入Studio B。
猜猜Studio B里是什么?
就是著名的Bar이웃了!是的,终于看到了施厚君饰演的白时允的邻里酒吧!好大,好舒适,好整齐的一个地方!
大家一窝蜂的挤在Studio B 分配为观看拍摄的区域,希望找到最佳角落,可以好好观看我们的行动派英雄进行拍摄。之前我们已经被提醒需要保持特别安静,因为电影制作采用了最新的技术,一丝毫的噪音都会被录进去。而且为了保护版权,现场拍照是绝对不允许的。所以,在这里妳们绝对不会看到昨天拍摄的情景!
昨天探班拍摄了两个场景。一个是施厚君拍摄在酒吧的内部。不知道他在做些什么,但就用三次重拍的过程就搞定!
另一个是在酒吧柜台。施厚君正忙着擦亮酒杯时,他的朋友走了进来。两位朋友好几没见面了,打了个招呼。朋友解释因为他刚刚从“监狱”被放出来,所以迟到了。朋友想知道白时允是怎么凑到钱买下那酒吧的。
拍摄花了相当长的时间,需要好几次的重拍,导演才满意。施厚君只是出错了一次!他误读了台词!自己发觉了,粉丝们发觉了,大家不约而同的笑了起来。
施厚君,干得好,好专业!
施厚君非常专注他的拍摄。明显的他排练得很顺畅。但在众多远到来的厚粉目睹之下,他不禁会不时对我们微笑,和招招手。在拍摄中,有时间时,就拿出他那高科技相机来自拍和拍摄厚粉们来做留念。
现场探班只是半小时,是很短的时间,但是,给我们留下了珍贵的回忆!
更好的节目在后头…请耐心等候后记!
