Translated from http://s.163.com/13/0628/15/92FE6T2K00314Q8T.html ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/l8Fb8CN.jpg) State of Play is a documentary film starring professional gamer Jaedong, and it debuted in Seoul, Korea on the 26th. At the premiere, Steve, the director of the movie accepted a media interview, and spoke about the stories that took place during filming. At the same time, Steve also mentioned about the next documentary being about a player who switched to Starcraft 2 from Starcraft 1 and became king there - Mvp. This movie has finally been released. What're your thoughts? I am very happy to be able to attend the premiere event with the lead actor of the show. Today is also the first time the performers are watching the finished product, and so I am even more looking forward to it. It's said that there was a premiere in Belgium as well. We were played at the International Documentary Film Festival at Belgium, and the tickets were all sold out. The documentary is also receiving a lot of views online, and it even received the attention of Blizzard's CEO Mike Morhaime. Why did you choose the topic of esports for your documentary film? I started coming in contact with the game ever since Starcraft was released, and I play it frequently too. The filming for this movie started from the year 2009. At that time, esports was a really remote term to Europe. I saw esports in Korea, and it left on me a really deep impression, and as a gamer, I feel that there is no difference between esports and other sports, and so I wanted to express it through this movie. The filming process took 3.5 years. What's the hardest part of it? The first 1.5 years was the toughest. It was the hardest trying to get the players to come and take part in the movie, really hard to persuade them. Also, as everyone knows, at the start of 2010, Korean esports got struck by the match-fixing scandal. As a result of that, at that time, many relevant people, not just kespa, refused to cooperate, and even tried to prevent it. We spent a lot of time trying to convince and persuade them. The match-fixing scandal caused a break in the filming process of the film. How did you solve this crisis? I happened to be in Seoul when the incident happened, and so I remember the situation then really well. People really didn't want to help with the filming at all, and just refused to say anything. As a result, the only thing I could do was go back to Belgium. Four months later, I came back again, and it was at this time when I finally was able to get some people to help. I didn't have any strategy, except to give them a bit more time, so that the filming of the movie could continue. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/1c4nssc.jpg) Why did you choose Jaedong as your lead? I saw a few top players in 2009, and also had an audition. Amongst them, the one who appeared most natural in front of the camera was Jaedong. Furthermore, as a documentary directory, I trust my sixth sense, and through conversations with Jaedong, it made me even more certain of my choice. What about the filming for the prospective gamer and the amateur gamer? Out of all the players that I saw at the Kespa audition, Mekia was the one that felt most like Jaedong. And as for amateur gamer Park Yo Hwan, I just felt I could be friends with him the moment I looked at him (laughs). Without the support of the family of these two players, my film would never have been made, and I'd like to express my thanks here. We want to know what the film title State of Play means. Also, now that Jaedong is an EG player, why did you remove the EG parts? If we explain state as country, I suppose it would mean the country that plays that most games. And play has a dual meaning too. Even though it has the meaning of 'play', playing games isn't just simply playing. The reason I didn't include EG content is because if I wanted to film that as well, it'd take at least another 3 years of filming (laughs). Will this film have any negative impact on the esports scene? Actually, the first player I met for this film was Ma Jae Yoon sAviOr (former Starcraft 1 player, one of the culprits of the 2010 Korea match-fixing scandal). Since I made the decision already, I had to persevere on with it. Actually, I had many troubles with regards to him. But this movie isn't talking about the esports scandal, but has the esports spirit as its main theme, and so there won't be such an impact. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Ag4olAQ.jpg) What'll your next production be? Even though it's not like this Jaedong one, I have also followed and filmed another player for a very long time. This person is Mvp. We'll probably be able to see this movie in about 2-3 months time. It's mainly recording the process from his switch from Starcraft 1 to Starcraft 2, to finally becoming the new king. It's a very beautiful and amazing story (laughs). As a documentary film director, what do you think esports is? When other people ask me what esports is, I will say that it is a real sport, especially when it comes to the point where to become the winner, you have to work really hard. I also hope that all the young people will come to understand after watching this film, that esports is just like any other sport, and it is very difficult to reach the top level. Anything else you wish to add? I don't want to say anything more. For all the stories, please watch in the movie. I want to thank all the people who have helped me in any way during the filming process. | ||
