Cinema Street

Shit... I knew I got up on the wrong side of the bed.

Sir, do a lot of locals pass by here?

Nah... Not even locals come here

- Is this a private property? - Not a private property.

Is there an alternative road to get here by vehicle?

Yes, there is!

If you go this way, you can go that way.

The person in charge of this area is village chief, right? If you don't mind, can I get his phone number?

Why?

This is serious right?

Is this a secret investigation?

- Execuse me? - Hey chief!

I need you to be here ASAP.

A detective is here.

It looks like something's just happened here.

No, not that, Sir I am just...

- No, no I didn't do it. - I'm just working.

I am a location manager. I am just working right now.

We are hunting for a movie location. Sir.

What's this?

You scared me!

You take photos as if it's a crime scene.

I am sorry.

No, chief. They are shooting a movie here.

She's not a detective.

- She said she's a rocking... um... something. - Location manager!

By the way...

What's a "rocking"?

Location manager. Someone who searches for a place to be used in movies.

- Have some apple. - Thank you.

Have another one.

- Thank you, Sir! - Take care!

Yes, Sir.

Film location is not all about beautiful scenery.

All other necessary factors must be there to make it on screen.

I am playing hide and seek with film locations hidden somewhere in the vicinity.

- Yes, boss. - Hey, Sun-hwa.

The photo you just sent me, the director says he loves it.

You never disappoint the directors ever!

We are so proud of you, Sun-hwa.

That's great.

I am going to take a look at just one more place before I leave.

Oh, wait, wait, wait.

Right now the director for the next film came into office...

What? I am in Kijang, you want me to come back to office?

It's our first meeting, I think you better be here Sun-hwa.

- I will be waiting for you - No, Boss, Boss!

Places are also the inspirations for the story in the movie,

Sometimes, it conveys the director's intentions more deeply than hundred words.

So, among the various shooting conditions, the most difficult thing is the director's mind.

Sun-hwa, these are crews for our next project.

And this is the director.

And this is our location manager & production manager, our dear Gil Sun-hwa

Um... as for Sun-hwa..

What was that name? The bastard. Who was that picky director?

...all of a sudden. Then, Sun-hwa was like "Boss, just trust me."

She was like the main character in those superhero movies.

Anyway... I thought we would struggle for sure. Sun-hwa found those places less than 4 days?

Haesol.

What.

Oh, was it 3 days? It's 3 days.

No that's not what I'm saying. I need to talk to you...

What...?

Oh, okay. I’ll leave you guys here.

Actually, you won’t need to talk to me. She’s in charge of everything.

Haesol!

That's not what I meant. I need to talk to you.

I’m Cha Do-young.

Nice to meet you, Gil Sun-hwa

I should get you guy some coffee.

Why are you dragging me like this in front of everyone.

What is wrong with you today?

You remember the guy I always talk shit about whenever I am drunk?

The one that was drunk and cursed?

It wasn’t just one or two.

- Oh, the one who called you out in private and... - No, no.

Oh! The one who always asks you for the location sponsorship...

No, My ex, ex-boyfriend.

Oh, oh!

- The bastard who dumped you and took off for Seoul! - Yeah, the bastard’s over there, there, there.

Things will go smoothly, I think.

Don't you think so?

Yeah.

She found those places within three days. I think we found the right person.

Oh, my God.

So... What's your plan?

I am gonna tell them we can't do it.

No way!

We can't just walk away...

What do you mean? Do you want me to join them?

Sun-hwa...

Mrs. Gil?

If we complete this, we can finally have credits for twenty projects here in Busan.

Remember the Hollywood film that’s going to shoot in Busan? We can be part of them for sure!

I can't let some random productions residing in Seoul come down to Busan trying to find a film location.

Oh, it seems our Sun-hwa still has feelings for him.

No, no. That's not it. Boss!

Have I ever turned down a work before?

I cannot do this time for real. No, I won't do it.

Wait, what was the name of the actress you dated?

Kim Sohee. Imagine if Kim Sohee comes back...

Why do you bring up that thing again?

Exactly! Put yourself in my shoes!

Sun-hwa~

You just have to be patient for a week.

Your ex-boyfriend...

I mean...

Director Cha's production seems to have a connection with the Hollywood production.

Try to see the forest, not the trees.

If we do this, we can get the Hollywood one for sure! How many times did you sing to that?

By the way, did he not know I was in charge?

How could I know that?

Director Cha contacted us first.

Come on. And how long was it ago you broke up with him?

We are professionals, right?

Do you want to support other productions from Seoul for the rest of your life?

We deserve more than that.

So we need to take this chance...

Forget it! Screw it. I'm done.

What can I do? Sun-hwa just won't do it...

Well, as we always have, we can kiss ass again...

No... no.... I can't do that.

My wife left me, now you too, I don't need anyone, just go.

Uh, where are you going?

Let me introduce myself properly.

I'm Gil Sun-hwa, the location manager of NOON production.

- You're the assistant direction, right? - Right.

Please send me the scene number and reference of the place you need.

If I know how it feels like, I can list up the potential locations based on the pool I have.

Have you read the script?

I only have a week, so if you just tell me the scene number to be filmed in Busan...

I suggest you read it first.

You need to know the story to find the right place for it.

I know, right.

If my boss gave me the script in advance, I would have refused in advance...

Then can you find the place I want?

Yes, I will find all the places in 3 days and send you back to Seoul as soon as possible. DIRECTOR.

Is this the way you work with others, too?

No. No directors were so full of himself that he just spend a week and leave.

This is my first time working with such a great director...

...anyway, anyway.

Alright. I'll look forward to it.

Okay.

I'm home. Grandma, I'm back.

- Sun-Hwa, you home? - Did you have dinner?

I lost my appetite.

You lost what?

I didn’t know you could ever lose your appetite.

- Wow! Here we are! - Wow, it's so good.

It fits the mood of our movie.

The male and the female protagonist be looking at the scenery here.

Perfect!

- I think it could be used as an ending on that side? - That's right. I knew it.

And the sun seems to rise like this from here, can you please check the sunrise time?

Yes I will check the sunrise time.

It'll be amazing if this place comes after the scene in Seoul.

I think it would be just perfect.

Wow! Here we are.

Wow... I think it fits well with the male protagonist's dream scene here.

It's a bit windy, but that's okay, isn't it?

There's a plane passing by. Please check how often airplanes fly by this place

All right.

Sun-hwa, how do you know so many locations?

Ah... Here we are.

Are we?

I think it's good...

Let's move on to the next place.

- It's really good. - It is.

We didn’t even get there.

What don't you like it so much?

Ah, it doesn’t match with the mood I’ve thought.

Ha... I think you're just in a bad mood...

Well, what else can I do if you say so?

- He says it doesn’t match! Let's get back to the car! - Okay...

You won't be able to deny this.

Sun-hwa

- Sun-hwa? - Yes?

So, you were born and raised in Busan?

Well, yes.

It's a lovely city! I may be biased because I grew up here.

There are many delicious things This is also a good restaurant that only the locals know.

Director Cha loves Busan-style rice soup.

I think he eats 3-4 times a week in Seoul, too.

Do you eat raw fish every day?

If you live in Jangchung-dong, do you eat pork feet every day?

What kind of question is like that?

- Oh, well, then do you... - Come down. She is out of breath.

This is my first time in Busan. I have so many questions. I'm sorry.

It's okay. If anyone come from Seoul, they ask at least once.

And the next question will be that..

Why don't you come to Seoul?

Oh, yeah. You're in the film industry, why not come to Seoul?

I can do it here in Busan, too. I don't think it’s necessary to go to Seoul to make it.

Still, it must not have been easy because the infrastructure was all focused on Seoul...

Oh, didn't you also say that's why came to Seoul?

It’s hard to do it properly in Busan. Am I, right?

There is a saying these days.

Whoever will be, will be.

No matter where you are. Regardless where you live Seoul or Busan
