Someone replied that it might be the same show that Uhm Ki Joon is going to be in. A new variety show"Free Talking Before I Die " about foreign language learning.

 

 

"

On July 31, Korean media outlet TV Report announced that Uhm Ki Joon is gearing up to join the cast lineup for the JTBC program Free Talking Before I Die. Helmed by PD Jung Seung Il, the show will give the cast members a new challenge. The Escape of the Seven actors along with others will take on the task of learning new foreign languages. 

According to the report, the cast members including the actor recently sat for a preliminary meeting with the production team. The filming for the show will commence soon to release it in the second half of this year through the JTBC network."

I asked the person who posted where is the filming happening, and they said in England! So JH is in Europe right now. If this is true it's more than reasonable that JH will be attending his movie's premiere in Italy next week. Also- Ki seop was in Italy lasy week(?), so I wonder if they will be together

"It's more influential than Netflix dramas"...Venice Invited VR Film 'Apartment'

 

Director Chae Soo-eung, who was invited to the immersive competition section of the 81st Venice International Film Festival, which will open on Friday (local time) with the interactive VR film "Apartment: Ripley's World," said, "As it is an unfamiliar form of film, I will receive a lot of criticism." He explained that it is a growing pain for new possibilities for movies in the era of new media. Photo by Aria Studio

 

"It is the old way to induce empathy with one-way authorism. Younger generations can empathize only when they approach it through hands-on storytelling."

 

This is the words of director Chae Soo-eung (42), who was invited to the Immersive (Immersive) competition section of the 81st Venice International Film Festival, which will open on the 28th in Lido Island, Italy, with the VR (virtual reality) science fiction film "Apartment: Ripley's World (hereinafter referred to as "Apartment").

"Apartment" is the only Korean film to be invited to the official category of this year's Venice Film Festival. Chae is the second Korean film director to be invited after winning the best VR experience award in the same category in 2018 for his VR short animation "Buddy VR." The VR expansion category of the Venice Film Festival, which was established in 2017, has changed its name to the immersive category that covers all XR works in 2022.

"The Apartment" is an interactive film in which visitors participate in the investigation of a detective (Jang Hyuk) in 2080. In the future when the memory preservation system "mind upload" technology has been commercialized, it is necessary to access the memory data of a brain-dead boy who is the only witness to the unsolved murder that occurred in 2009 to look back at the scene and find out the truth.

 

The movie "Apartment: Ripley's World" is an interactive work in which a detective (Jang Hyuk, center) who accesses distorted memory data of a brain-dead boy to find clues to a long-term murder case in 2080 is involved directly through VR experience and communication with a Generative AI. 

 

At each screening, 15 to 25 audiences watch the 2D movie, which is about 30 minutes long, and one selected from the audience personally experiences the situation through a VR device. At the instruction of a Generative AI (artificial intelligence) actor who appeared on the screen, the reactions left by 2D audiences affect the mission performance of VR experiences.

After watching the movie, the audience talked and put together a story puzzle. The accumulated audience experience data affects the development of the story at the next screening time. The purpose of this work is to share this group experience. At this year's Venice Film Festival, a booth consisting of spaces where people can watch 2D and VR versions will be set up to be screened for six times every day during the festival.

The director once again broke down the theater boundaries and expanded the cinematic experience through the 3D and visual special effects (VFX) producer of the movie "Mr. Go" (2013), the general manager of VFX for "Enemy Girl 3" (2018), and directing the VR invitation film "White Rabbit" (2018) at the Cannes International Film Festival.

In a phone call with this newspaper on the 21st, he cited the recent rapid rise of audience-participating immersive performances as a cultural phenomenon that influenced the production of "apartments."

 

"VRChat videos have more impact than Netflix's 100 billion drama"

 

VR Chat is a VR-based metaverse community space where users can create and enjoy real-time games, chatting, drawing, sculpture, music, and performances using avatars that express their individuality. It is also attracting attention as broadcast content of streamers and creators around the world.

 

Director Chae said, "If the existing metaverse platform was nothing more than a device to visually show communication, VRChat has created an opportunity to communicate and empathize emotionally," adding, "As real-time communication takes place through streaming comments, VRChat videos have a much stronger impact than Netflix dramas with production costs of 100 billion won online."

 

"I thought a new movie should act as a medium in this era," he said, adding, "We tried to organize real-time memory data and communicate with each other by adding a Generative AI."

 

"Unfamiliar challenge in Venice, growing pains to survive even if criticized"

 

The audience in "Apartment: Ripley's World" communicates with a Generative AI who is set as a high-performance AI robot nurse through voice communication and digs out the truth of the past through the memory data of the boy, which is a mixture of lies and distortions. The photo shows the scene of the incident in the boy's memory. 

 

Online, the culture of sharing reviews in real-time comments while watching movies, dramas, and game content together has become popular. "Recreation videos" that uniquely enjoy or reinterpret existing works, such as interpretation and reaction to movies and dramas, are also popular.

 

Director Chae said, "The re-creation has become a grammar in online social experiences," adding, "We wanted to revive the energy that people communicate and enjoy through movies in a new format through 'Apartment'. The final completion of this work is achieved when the audience talks to each other after the movie is over."

"Apartment: Ripley's World" (pictured) consists of two-dimensional video clips and VR experience, each of which includes a conversation process in which audiences put their heads together and put together a story puzzle. 

 

This intention of directing is also in line with the purpose of the Venice Film Festival's immersive sector, which is expanding its scope to experiments on media genres. "If the film format has been made with film-based grammar for the past 120 years, the film content in the Internet environment should have different viability than before," he said. "I'm happy to present my challenge work in Venice."

 

"I am determined to be beaten harshly as it is my first time to show this work. It is a pain in growth that is necessary for the survival of my work."

So it is 30 minutes of a regular movie and then 20 minutes or so of what is essentially a game, only one person gets to play and the rest watch, if I understood correctly. 

What is interesting from JH's side is that he probably had to film each scene of the last 20 minutes in several different ways to allow for the "player's" choice.

Yeah i think so. Here is the proper English version of the synopsis:

 

In 2080, researchers at the CSAL (Computer Simulated After-Life) Institute commercialise the “Mind Upload” memory system. Detective Park uses it to investigate a cold murder case, delving into the memories of a brain-dead boy from 2009 who was the sole witness. However, the boy’s memories are distorted by Ripley’s Syndrome, blurring the line between truth and lies. Apartment: In the Realm of Ripley is an AI interactive thriller designed for audiences to enter a virtual world reconstructed from the boy’s memories, find the culprit, and choose the truth. Guided by an on-screen AI actor, the audience watches a 2D film and makes choices via voice interaction that influence the story’s outcome. A selected audience member engages in the VR experience, while the collective choices of the audience during the film impact the VR user’s journey. At the end of the experience, the audience interacts directly with the AI actor, realising that the 2D film and VR experiences were interconnected as they followed the AI actor’s guidance and influenced the story. All viewers will reinterpret the cinematic experience, breaking free from its traditional frame. By the end, they will question the boundaries of truth and reality they have chosen.
