The King and the Clown props set

2022-03-02 08:01
The original budget for the production of the palace screen was 8 billion won, but it was made successfully with only 4.5 billion won. From the exterior of the palace to the place where the king handles state affairs, the historical appearance of that time is reproduced.
From jumping rope in the air to flying swallows and other thrilling moves, the masquerade artists showed gorgeous stunts. The movie reproduces the image of a masquerade artist in the palace in the early Joseon Dynasty. The film vividly shows the simple costumes performed by folk mask artists and the gorgeous costumes performed in the palace. Especially in the performances of masquerade performers with the background of the palace, paper costumes are used. Paper clothes were once used in Chinese Peking Opera performances, so the staff modified Chinese-style paper clothes into Korean-style clothes and used them in movies. Because it was made of paper, the actors were worried about breaking it, and in the hot summer, the staff had to be busy fanning them in order to prevent them from getting soaked in sweat. In contrast, Jun Yanshan and Lushui in the palace, who dressed themselves in gorgeous silk and satin, showed their authority. Some props used by masquerade performers, such as fans, masks, etc. It embodies the splendor of the palace even more. In particular, the gorgeous furniture decorated with cow bones in Lushui's residence reflects the seductive image of Lushui. In order to truly reflect the props and accessories used in the palace at that time, the production team also built a warehouse for props and accessories.

The King and the Clown quotes

  • Pal-bok: [From subtitles] Isn't she the King's Consort?

    Chil-duk: Sure is. What on earth is that woman doing?

    Pal-bok: People say, she a lady now but she still shits like a horse. So then the rumors were true after all!

  • [From subtitles]

    Gong-gil: [atop a tightrope] To be up here, away from the bustle, my legs like wings would spread.

    Jang-sang: [from below] Ahoy! What is that flower in full bloom I see yonder?

    Street musician: Dost thou not recognize the one and only?

    Jang-sang: So it is! The one and only! With rose petal'd lips. O Friend, beat thee thy leather while I go pick the flower.

    Gong-gil: [watching Jang-sang ascend the tightrope] My, my, there comes a fool, rash and proud! Never knew a fool who knew his place!

    Jang-sang: Ho! A tongue most untamed! Master of this house am I, come to bait thee!

    Gong-gil: A gallows-hung scoundrel is what I see with an ill-fitting coat to hide his sores!

    Jang-sang: Oh thorny Rose, is thy iris closed for me? Open them, and see as I walk the Master's gait. Oh, really!

    [Jang-sang precariously walks across the tightrope]

    Jang-sang: [finally reaching the other side] Good heavens! Me thought it would be a mere hop and a skip but t'was longer than a runny trip to the outhouse!

    Gong-gil: [having climbed down] Master gait, master bait, either way strains the balls!

    Jang-sang: And now, a fornicating wench, running off upon being surprised. 'Tis thy own form, saucy wench.

    [Jang-sang quickly walks back across the tightrope again]

    Gong-gil: I was expecting to see thee fall and crack thy frame. But not bad!

    Jang-sang: Indeed, gifted are my two legs, but it is my third that has true genius - and thou shall see it this night!

    [Jang-sang performs acrobatics on the tightrope]

    Blackhat: Master wants to see you.

    Gong-gil: Thy twin eggs, are they cracked yet or just in the crack?

    Jang-sang: [as the crowd laughs] Safely in the crack, plugging my bunghole! But now, I must drain my bladder. I gotta pee before I continue!

    Gong-gil: Why, you dirty boor! So then, let's try it on for size!

    Jang-sang: Good idea! I shall oblige!
