Marami ang nagulat sa Instagram post ng aktres na si Yoon Ji Hye dahil sa kanyang mga rebelasyon tungkol sa produksiyon ng pelikula niyang Clean Up na produced ng KAFA (Korean Academy of Film Arts).

Pahayag niya sa kanyang post last Dec. 14, kakaiba ang naging sistema sa filming at hindi ‘yung normal na pag­gawa ng isang pelikula.

“The film was not made like an ordinary movie and was produced by the KAFA (Korean Aca­demy of Film Arts), an educational insti­tu­tion for film directors, with a production cost of around 70 million won (approximately $59,600).

“The rest of the outsourced staff were merely helping the director, who had to take care of everything on their own. The PD (producing director) is also (helping), and some people only came when they wanted to, like it was a part-time job,” ang ba­hagi ng post ni Yoon Ji Hye sa Ko­rean language at translated sa Eng­lish ng Soompi.com.

“I had seen some nice productions made by this insti­tution, and I wanted to focus on acting. I even bowed to the director out of gratitude for writing this kind of scenario,” patuloy niya.

Isang buwan daw silang nag-shooting at sa ikatlong araw ay may na-sense na si­yang mali.

“We filmed day and night for a month. Around the third filming, I felt that the process was too strange, and I gradually began experiencing problems beyond common sense.

“I had to get off a car in motion without any measures of safety because the director was just watching the monitor and not yelling ‘cut.’ The taxis that were honking loudly and avoiding me probably thought I was crazy.

“When we were kicked out of the subway for filming secretly, I remember [the staff] making excuses about it being a student film and fleeing from place to place while walking on eggshells as if it would become a fun memory,” pagri-reveal ng aktres.

Ibinunyag din niyang ginamit ang kanyang larawan na wala namang kinalaman sa pe­likula to promote the film.

“I refused to be swayed by news that [the movie] was about to be released and was holding on by telling myself, ‘You can be in a better production.’

“Yesterday, I felt like I was back­stabbed once again when I saw pictures that had nothing to do with the movie being used for the film’s marketing. I’d like to ask, in whose eyes was the filming environment bright? Do you think all the pain I’ve suffered will be all right with a single photo of me smiling at the scene? Whose idea is the phrase ‘masterpiece’? Does winning a few awards make it into a masterpiece?”

“This movie is misery porn. Is it a good movie if the results are good? Those who pretend to own the film do not even deserve to use the ex­pressions ‘masterwork,’ ‘masterpiece,’ ‘suspicious,’ and ‘heavy.’

“I don’t want to suffer a second round of cajolement with the petty marketing. There were too many scars left by this work that I participated in with affection. I wanted to reveal the reality that I felt, and I thought I should warn other actors about the problems of my work with KAFA,” saad pa ni Yoon Ji Hye.

Lahad pa niya, ito ang unang pagkaka­taon na gumawa siya ng low-budget movie at mali raw ang kanyang inakalang magiging maganda ang experience niya na maka­trabaho ang mga baguhan.

“I made the choice myself, and aside from the money, I wanted to try out minimalistic work that was closer to the essence. It was my first time participating in such a low-budget project, and it turned out to be a great misunderstanding to think that I could feel something by working with beginners and thus work passionately.”

Kinabukasan, December 15, ay muling nagsalita si Yoon Ji Hye tungkol sa poor filming daw ng Clean Up.

Simula niya, “I was the oldest person on the scene and the person with the most experience in the field. As the lead actress and senior actor, I’d like to apologize once again for failing to provide better solutions to those who participated in it. I apologize to the people I worked with for not ha­ving the ease to do so and collapsing like this.”

Sinabi rin niyang nakahanda siyang harapin ang consequences ng kanyang mga rebelasyon at isinambulat dahil talagang hindi niya kayang manahimik na lang.

“Rather than overlooking this, I thought it would be better for my health to deal with the consequences after revealing everything. First of all, I couldn’t stand it because I was distressed, and I felt like I was going to die. Many of you are divided over what I’ve done with a lot of opinions… But I will not regret it. Please don’t judge the situation by just a fragment of the story.”

Patuloy pa niya, “I participated in this film regardless of the money, and at first, I was asked to do so [without being paid]. However, I dislike [the concept of working for no pay], which is considered a symbol of sacrifice and passion, so I told them I should be paid at least for the sake of being paid. Therefore, I was paid 1 million won [approximately $853]. It was a really perfunctory amount, less than the minimum hourly wage for labor, and only several hundred thousand won was deposited to me after dividing it with my agency.

“On a set where not even the minimum-required setups are made, the actor who is exposed to the front line becomes responsible for all the consequences, and the stress caused me to suffer intensely. I thank many people for sympathizing with me. I was expressing my personal pain, and I am [thankful] to be encouraged by so many people. I won’t be discouraged or tired. I’ll stay strong. I will not worry you. I will work hard to repay you with good acting.”

Well, kung ibabase sa atin, ang pelikulang ginawa ni Yoon Ji Hye ay maliwanag na indie (independent) film. At siguro ay hindi lang sanay ang aktres na gumawa ng ganitong klaseng movie dahil ayon sa kanya, first time niya ito.

Mukhang maganda ang pelikula dahil nanalo na ito ng New Current Award and KTH Award sa Busan International Film Festival at Best Film Award sa International Film Festival & Awards sa Macao.

In fairness to Yoon Ji Hye, magaling siyang aktres at napanood na namin siya sa dalawang Korean drama, sa Special Affairs Team Ten at sa part 2 nito na Ten 2.

Ang Clean Up ay ipapalabas sa South Korea sa Dec. 19.
