-Did you see that article?
-Yeah, I found it online. But itâs in English, so I donât understand it.
-As expected of Moviegoer. You know about an article that just came out.
-Well, I canât speak English anyway, so I have to watch Moviegoerâs review.
-22 Moviegoer, please explain!
âSure. Iâll do my best to explain.â
Moviegoer smiled and opened his mouth.
âDo you remember when I told you about an actor named Davis Garrett? I said he was one of the most difficult actors to work with in Hollywood. That applies to actors, producers, and directors alike.â
-If you donât know, please watch [Redbone 2 Review]!
-Thank you!
Moviegoer laughed at the natural guidance of his long-time viewers.
âTo put it simply, Davis Garrett is an actor who values the atmosphere more than the script. He improvises based on his detailed character analysis and the feeling of the scene. He caused a lot of trouble because of that, but the results were good, so there are many places that deliberately look for him.â
-Could it be⦠the survivors too?
âYes. Thatâs right. According to Jeffreyâs interview, the survivors were originally not much different from a clichéd disaster movie. Raymond Wish and Ian Weaver were supposed to escape and Raymond Wish would join the rescue team and save his family and three others.â
-Wow. The original Raymond Wish was amazing. The Raymond Wish here is like a bomb about to explode.
-Should we change it? LOL
-But it feels like Iâve seen it somewhere before.
-It feels like a movie protagonist.
âJeffrey said that if he had filmed it that way, he might have had to edit out the stories of other characters because of the running time.â
-That makes sense. The survivors had a lot of scenes just for escaping. If they had to film escaping and rescuing, they would have cut a lot.
-It could have been Hyun-woo or Ian who got edited out.
-Ian âWishâ disappearing!
-He escapes with Ian and then goes back to rescue⦠Heâs amazing.
-But if Raymond Wish had escaped, he wouldnât have been as tense as Hyun-woo.
-222 The outcome would have been predictable.
âWhat changed that was Davis Garrett and Lee Seo-jun. As I said in Redbone 2 Review, there werenât many actors who could match Davis Garrettâs improvisation.â
-Why? Is it because the other person canât act?
âNo. Itâs not a matter of acting skills, but of personality. Improvisation requires a stage of creating dialogue, which is hard.â
-I see. Itâs not easy to make up dialogue on the spot.
-You have to do both dialogue and action.
âRight. And even if you spit out dialogue somehow, you have to think about how the story will unfold from that dialogue, whether the other actor will accept it well, whether the director will approve it, whether the writer will understand it. There are more than one or two problems to think about.â
-Davis Garrett doesnât care about any of that LOL
-I want to be like him!
Moviegoer and the viewers laughed together.
âHe even wrote it in his contract this time. He said he could modify the script.â
-Heâs persistent.
-Thatâs how you succeed.
âOf course, Davis Garrett doesnât act recklessly either. If he did, the movie wouldnât come out. Davis Garrett gauges the skill of his co-star and gives appropriate improvisation. But still, there must have been trial and error until he got an okay. But in this work, there was an actor who accepted his terrible improvisation at once.â
The viewers knew who he was without him saying it.
-Seo-jun!
-Awesome (thumbs up)
-Our Seo-junâ¦! (clenching teeth)
-The child (I canât believe it) actor Lee Seo-jun LOL
-Huh. Heâs still a child actor LOL
âYes. Our Lee Seo-jun.â
-Ours LOL
-LOL LOL
-Nice to meet you. Sprout!
Moviegoer scratched his cheek with an awkward face.
He didnât expect his inner feelings to show up. He was too excited after watching Jeffreyâs interview praising Seo-junâs acting over and over again.
âAhem. Anyway, Davis Garrett started improvising suddenly and Lee Seo-jun accepted it right away. Jeffrey said that at that time, Lee Seo-jun was the only one who wasnât surprised by Davis Garrettâs improvisation.â
-Wowâ¦
-I can only admire LOL
âThatâs when Raymond Wishâs personality and position changed and Hyun-wooâs personality and position changed. They slowly changed from the original script to the current survivors. There were a lot of script revisions in this process.â
-They must have revised a lot. Thereâs a script name in the interview. [Survivors Release Version_Modified7_8_Final_Finish_Finish2_Final2_Final3_End_Really End]
-I suddenly feel close to the Hollywood director LOL
-22 It feels like looking at my assignments on my laptop.
-I can guess how much they revised LOL
âThe change was noticeable when the adults fell behind. The original protagonist, Raymond Wish, who was supposed to survive until the end, fell behind first. Then Jackson Miller. And Cynthia Lindberg.â
-I wondered when they would disappear LOL
-I didnât expect none of the adults to survive.
-How can they do this to the kidsâ¦
âThatâs how all the adults disappeared and only two kids remained. Escaping was still not easy. Itâs not easy for tired kids to crawl through an uncertain escape route.â
-It could take an hour or two.
-And it could collapse at any timeâ¦
âThereâs a picture I want to show you. Itâs a picture that was released during this interview. Itâs a picture of the set of the survivors.â
Moviegoer showed a picture on the monitor.
The viewers were amazed by the picture of the set that looked like it was cut out of a cake, or cut out of the collapsed Galleria Mall.
Especially the ant tunnel-like, Hyun-woo and Ian Weaverâs escape route set, there was no green chroma key at all.
They couldnât help but admire it even if they saw it again.
âI thought it was all CG, but they actually made a set. They said the materials of the set were special, so there was no risk of injury. From here below,â
Moviegoer pointed to the bottom part of the set in the picture.
The viewers who had watched the survivors several times remembered a similar place.
-Thatâs where Cynthia Lindberg disappeared.
-Right. The dress and the plastic bottle behind it are familiar.
-â¦Scary. These peopleâ¦
Moviegoerâs finger slowly moved along the empty corridor.
The twisted corridor was familiar to the viewers.
It was Hyun-woo and Ian Weaverâs escape route.
Moviegoerâs finger reached the end of the set.
âUp to here. Lee Seo-jun and Andrew Walker acted as if they were crawling slowly. This is one scene. The rest of the escape scenes were also filmed in similar sets. And they said there was no set with the same shape.â
-They made it really well.
-I would have used one set for multiple times.
-Thatâs it. The Hollywood scaleâ¦
âAnd this is the set where we filmed the last escape scene.â
The set that appeared on the monitor was divided into two levels, like a first and second floor.
The first floor was the basement where the survivors were trapped, and the second floor was a part of the collapsed Galleria mall.
Unlike the other sets that had open ends, this one had a blocked passage.
âThis is where Lee Hyun-woo and Ian Weaver were. And this much was blocked.â
Moviegoer pointed at the dead end of the passage and then at the thick pile of rocks that covered it.
âThey said that during filming, an actor who played a rescue worker climbed up to the second floor and broke through the blocked passage to save the two actors. That made it more realistic.â
-Of course it felt real, they actually rescued them lol
-They must have been really immersed in their roles.
-I want to go see that set in person. Do you think theyâll make a survival course or something?
-It would be nice to take a picture next to 22.
-And wear some ragged clothes and makeup.
Moviegoer smiled at the viewersâ comments and said.
âIf Bearound makes such an experience product, Iâll post a review right away. Now letâs get back to the movie story. Lee Hyun-woo and Ian Weaver move through this narrow and dark place for 30 minutes.â
-But donât they rest a lot in between?
-222 If they do that for 30 minutes, they wonât get very far.
âThey probably meant 30 minutes without resting. If they include resting time, the rescue team might go down further than expected. They told them to crawl because they wanted them to consider their speed.â
-Wow⦠youâre smart.
-I noticed that Lee Hyun-woo kept checking his watch when he restedã ã
-I thought he was looking at the directionã ã
-He also looked at the compass and the watchã ã He was busyã
-But if they donât escape, itâs all in vainã
-Thatâs what makes me sad and proudã ã They try even though they donât know if they can escape or notã ã
Moviegoerâs eyes moistened as he saw the chat room filled with tears.
It was a scene that made him choke up no matter how many times he watched or remembered it.
âLee Hyun-woo tries to cheer up Ian Weaver by acting brightly, just like the adults did. The conversation is also part of that.â
-ã ã He acted so well that I cried.
-But what does it mean when he says heâll live with Raymond?
âHe probably thought of the worst-case scenario. When Raymond Wishâs family and Lee Hyun-wooâs family are both dead. He said that if we escape, weâll live together as people who lost their precious ones. Weâll endure the sorrow together. That means donât give up.â
-ã ã Iâm crying againã ã
-ã ã ã
-I donât care if Weaver couple dies.
-lol
âAs they talk, Lee Hyun-woo loses consciousness right before he hears a sound. I heard it in the theater too, but it was so faint that I almost missed it.â
-I didnât hear it. Because of the noise (swear swear)
-22 Someone had an alarm set. Just at that moment!!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
-I heard it after jumping n times, but still, the first viewing was the most memorable.
-I got goosebumps!
âLee Hyun-woo, who canât make a sound, tries to make some noise somehow. How loud would it be when rocks hit each other? I was nervous that it wouldnât reach outside.â
-Me too. Especially since so many people disappeared like that.
-Fortunately, it wasnât like that.
He paused for a moment and opened his mouth.
âSurvivors found. It still gives me chills when I remember it.â
-22 I was so touched when they said survivors foundã ã
-I was so grateful tooã ã
-I would have screamed if it wasnât a theater lol
-I cried again when Lee Hyun-woo got Ian out first. Just keep cryingã ã
-I remember againã ã
âFinally, Lee Hyun-woo, who is carried out on a stretcher, gathers his strength and speaks. He comes up with a way to save everyone he prepared with a thin hope. Honestly, I didnât think of it at all, so I thought the three adults just gave up.â
-I couldnât imagine it eitherã ã
-[A few days later] I thought there would be a caption like that and then a video of them being rescued lol
-22 Even if it was a happy ending, they barely survived.
-As expected, the national English speaking contest winner! He has a really good memory.
-But thereâs also that. Direction.
-Direction?
Someoneâs comment made Moviegoer nod.
âYes. Direction. Thatâs important too. The group of survivors headed north. But Lee Hyun-woo never said north. South. West. East. He changed the direction from the perspective of the rescue team, not the survivors.â
-Wow⦠thatâs true. If the escape route was north-west-north, he would have said south-east-south.
-I would have been too busy to speak;;;
-I wouldnât have thought of giving directions.
-Raymond Wishâs scene was also touching. And funny lol
-lol He thought he was going to die and then the rescue team came and called his name lol Itâs not like theyâre taking attendance or something lol
-He must have been confused lol
-He didnât know it then, but he would be grateful for the escape that Lee Hyun-woo had taught him.ã ã
âI liked this part the most. Lee Hyun-woo, who first appeared as a nuisance character and barely survived with the help of Jackson Miller, Cynthia Lindberg, Raymond Wish, and the younger Ian Weaver, he eventually saved Ian Weaver with his own will and rescued the three others. It was really great.â
-ã ã Thatâs trueã ã
-Now that I think about it, they saved each otherã ã
-I need to watch the movie againã
-I thought it was a disaster movie, but it turned out to be Lee Hyun-wooâs growth storyã ã
The viewers and the audience laughed at the comment that called it Lee Hyun-wooâs growth story.
âThe camera then shows the collapsed Galleria mall and the rescue of the survivors.â
The audience said with a smile.
âIf they had added a fluttering American flag here, it would have been a perfect American propaganda movie.â
The viewers who understood the audienceâs remark burst into laughter.
-ã ã ã I know what you meanã ã ã
-We have faced this crisis, but we will overcome it (solemn)
-But if you look closely, there is a flag near the rescue teamã ã ã
-At least itâs not bigã ã ã
âDonât you think it was in the original script?â
-Thatâs rightã ã The escape hero was supposed to be Raymond Wishã ã ã
-Raymond Wish is Americanã ã If they showed him saving the survivors, waving the American flag, and his family, it would have been hilariousã ã ã
-Maybe they changed their mind when the hero became Lee Hyun-wooã ã
-Itâs better without it (serious)
-Seriously (calligraphy)
The audience nodded in agreement with the comments.
âI agree. The scene ends with the survivors and shows a perfect happy ending in a cookie video. It was a really good cookie video.â
-Ian Wish ã ã ã
-I didnât think much until âIan Wiâ ã ã ã´ But as soon as I wrote âshâ, I cried again ã´ ã´
-The theater subtitles also showed âIanâ, âWiâ, âshâ one letter at a time.
-22 I thought Ian was doing well until âIan Wiâ.
-Who would have thought his last name would change from Weaver to Wish!!
-Be happy with your new family. Ian Wish ã´ ã´
The chat room was filled with tears as the audience changed the topic with a smile.
âThe story of the survivors changed completely with the improvisation of Davis Garrett and Lee Seo-jun. I havenât read the original script, but I like the changed story better.â
-22 Much better.
-333 There canât be a better story than this.
-Davis did a good job improvising!
-Seo-jun also matched him well!
âBut do you know what?â
The audience opened his mouth with a meaningful smile.
âThe director Jeffrey came up with a work after seeing their improvisation. Itâs called Survivors Directorâs Cut.â
The chat room that was buzzing with praises for Davis Garrett and Lee Seo-junâs improvisation stopped for a moment. The word âdirectorâs cutâ seemed to be emphasized more than usual.
After a few seconds of silence, one comment came up.
-â¦Why does that come up here?
âOkay. Now Iâll start reviewing Survivors Directorâs Cut!â
The chat room turned pale at the audienceâs smooth transition.
-No! Why does that come up here!?
