‘Squid Game’ team reveals why they cut ‘a lot’ of VIPs scenes from final season

VIPs have not received VIP treatment in the final modification of Calmar game This season.

The editor-in-chief of the Korean show Nam Na-Young says Weekly entertainment That she really cut “a lot” of the scenes of the last season featuring the rich and cruel that bet on the life of the players during the matches.

“In fact, there were more scenes with VIPs,” said Nam. “While I went up, I cut them a lot because when we are in the VIP room, the tension of the versions.

This is not the only secret revealed in the video “IT takes a village” from EW above, with Nam with Star Lee Jung-Jae, the creator-director Hwang Dong-Hyuk, the production designer Chae Kyoung-Sun, the filmmaker Kim Ji-Yong and compose it Jung Jae-il. The creative team behind Calmar game Decomposes the realization of the intense jumping rope game in season 3, which the star reveals was the most difficult in the whole series.

Regarding the construction of the set, the creator says that the whole team must think like the “brain” of the show behind the games that wanted to return to childhood at the end of his life – similar to Citizen KaneRosebud.

The production designer interpreted this as wanting to go home, which is why she invoked the feeling of a station that many people in Korea take to go home on vacation. Meanwhile, the giant robots that swing the rope, Chul-Soo and Young-Hee, were modeled with well-known characters in the textbooks of the Korean elementary school.

“We have designed young and chul-soo outfits to look like children dressed for their return trip,” said Chae. “With their shoes being pretty and clean. And with young people, we had to pay attention to the space between his legs, because the actors had to cross them – the visual design was important. One of the last things we did is to put him down, and while we were updating, we designed flowers on it.”

Although the fall in the platform is fatal for game players, it was much safer in real life for the actors – although some are always terrified.

“The real whole was about five feet from the ground,” said Hwang. “Even this height, the actors felt the fear of the heights.”

Each department, from the design of production to cascades with visual effects, had to work in close collaboration to ensure that no one was injured during the shooting of this scene.

“I was not mounted on a thread for that,” explains Lee. “If you fell, it would hurt.”

At least the actors were not at risk of being hit by a real metal post.

“The jump rope is actually CGI,” reveals Lee. “There were beeps for when the rope was going to move, so a long beep reported that it is at our feet. But it was not so easy, respecting the pace.”
