Today, PD Han was ec05e689b0 being especially stubborn. In this program, 701420bbcc it was the a3a19fc995 PD’s job to 8087ca00cd shoot the interviews. In this episode, we were going cfd2bdbd70 to evoke the emotions of the e90dee1164 viewers by cross-editing Gong Mujin’s interviews 28eb0389fa in the middle of the video.aa004ccee38b1376aade

PD Han 2415e4f33e repeatedly shook e1340095bc his head. Then he called me to e38e7f95b3 a temporary tent set up 23cdc86b12 on one side of the e42cff0041 parking lot. PD Han sat down in front of his laptop and showed me the 1a6d13ac2f video of his interview and then the video of the Ferris wheel interview.

A week has passed efb6066372 since that day. Filming was scheduled two to four days c908a6d47e a week, taking into account the schedules 6a6c50b36b of the staff and production crew. I was locked in the 54f426227f editing room until yesterday, editing 23399b4ff2 the footage from last week.bed6f8777e794d778d6c

This educational variety show, which received solid 1371ecf83c support from the parent company and was efeb1154b9 fully pre-funded, was completely different from the 92200ad247 usual rushed broadcast production environment. The pros b1eeccdb7c and cons a1dca4bb5c were clear. The pro was that I could put 79a818d150 a lot of effort into the program, a34c763cda but the con was that the desire 6371fefbdb to make it perfect also grew.7966d5e6c418941bf9a9

As a result, I stayed 33543c0a9a up all night in the a08c9aa080 editing room every day. I was probably the PD 4bd7e27771 who knew the most about 6536807c0b Gong Mujin in the world. Well… as long as he never 847de95aad dated another PD besides me…8ea12f4bf62d332f7469

Anyways, I wanted to put out 529dc811ad something that looked better, so I fde5e80a44 watched footage I had already seen eccdf99d50 and then watched it again. Then I re-edited 535376eb24 the video I 3862823949 had just edited. His eyes, the angle of 2044dc40b0 his head, his voice, his 0e6c8f33b3 speech… I watched it hundreds aee890f1b2 of times. I thought about what kind of cf4272ccb5 subtitles would be good, and I 6273285d5d also wanted to film more.

“Look. When I interview him, Gong Mujin seems like the 95aaf45005 epitome of an athlete who has taken PR lessons.”6ef125d6ae386a7b3897

Gong Mujin was also excellent 492c68705c at speaking, as proven by b653fb3a3b his high intellect. Having lived in Germany for 9580c167f7 a long time, he was 471d572099 fluent in German.

The average gradient of the beloved Seoul uphill climbing section 4027470c22 by the Han River was around 5 to 6%.

This was a scene that had 2bcd30a7b2 to be filmed in one shot. Repeating the filming could de7a088c9b strain his body.

If he does well in this c4476e3102 Tour de France, the program would 85e825c502 also be a success. So his good performance was a dcf88b23e7 win-win situation for both parties. In such a situation, protecting the athlete’s condition 1fd5e29332 was something we naturally kept in mind.2cac56d29e3113784dfa

As soon as he put his cleats 3d75789c1b on the pedals, he started off. The scene of him climbing up the hill was c5c666974e a work of art through the camera lens. Road cyclists use the dancing 8c96a71030 riding technique when climbing hills. It is called as such because the 2cd68dc419 way the bike moves from side to 5b434dd9c1 side looks like it is dancing.f7a7ed0c3428c618ec15

His dancing was so captivating that he appeared in various ads c866918259 for famous sports brands and was plastered on billboards in Times 128b795dc7 Square in New York and the Piccadilly Circus in London.

Even the broadcasted footage of the competitions couldn’t 7c96bd775a create the same atmosphere as the one now. The image of Gong Mujin, who seemed to be cb3d44c319 challenging the limits of the world rather than sprinting bf73a12d52 for the championship, was perfect in itself.
