Director Kwon Ki-taek, who was surveying the vast forest, smiled faintly.
'The weather is sultry, and the humidity is damp. I quite like this discomfort.'
This was his creation, 'Island of the Missing.' Kwon Ki-taek could visualize the world of 'Island of the Missing' whenever he closed his eyes. He turned around and spoke to a man who was filming the surroundings with a small camera a few steps away. It was the director of photography.
"How does this place look for the scene where Private Kim's head falls off?"
The mention of Private Kim's role signified the importance of this location, as Private Kim's character heralded the beginning of the incidents on 'Island of the Missing.'
Meanwhile.
"Phew, it's unbearably hot."
The director of photography, wiping his sweat after putting down his small camera, recalled Private Kim's role in 'Island of the Missing.' He then nodded.
"Looks good. Almost identical to the script. Especially the smell here. What on earth is this smell? Could there be a hidden corpse somewhere?"
'Could be,' Director Kwon, taking off his safari hat for a moment, crouched down and poked the ground with his finger.
The ground was soggy.
Consequently, his finger sank deep into the ground. Pulling his finger out, he casually wiped it on his thigh and looked up and said,
"For the scene where Private Kim's head falls. Tell them to make the head prop a bit heavier. It'll be interesting if it creates a dent when it hits the ground."
The response came from the assistant director, who was panting in the heat from behind.
"Yes! Understood."
Thus, the reason Director Kwon Ki-taek and the 'Island of the Missing' team were in Vietnam was simple. They were on a location hunt for overseas shooting.
However, this wasn't initially planned this way.
They had originally planned to shoot on a set, but after seeing the completed set, Director Kwon changed his mind. He decided on half set shooting, half overseas location. It was not unusual for the director to change his mind frequently. Eventually, Director Kwon had one thing to say.
'Contact PD Park in Vietnam.'
He was referring to the line producer they had worked with on a previous project. Therefore, the 'Island of the Missing' team had to quickly pack their bags and catch a flight to Vietnam. Now, they were already on their second day. As a result, there were some changes to the pre-production schedule that began around April.
But that was almost over now.
Around this time.
"PD Park."
Director Kwon, having put his safari hat back on and wiping his sweat, asked the line producer in a relaxed manner.
"List this place too. How many locations are left?"
"About five?"
"And the overall schedule?"
"Location hunting today and tomorrow, and then just a meeting with local staff. Should take about three days in total."
"All in three days, right?"
"Yes, director."
Director Kwon, who nodded slowly, called over the Planning Team Director, who was busy taking landscape photos.
