Chapter 1933: Press Conference
On the afternoon of June 20, Park Ji-hoon's new film "Walking with God - Crime and Punishment" held a press conference, which was attended by Cha Tae-hyun, Lee Jung-jae, Kim Hyang-ki and other leading actors.
From the very beginning, the film attracted almost all the attention of the outside world.
First of all, it is adapted from the manga and has a large fan base. There is a precedent in South Korea for a long time in this regard. W is one of the best among them, "The Great Hidden One", "Unborn", "The Insider", etc., have all been adapted very successfully, so most fans of the original work are looking forward to it.
Secondly, the use of a large amount of CG is combined with live shooting. In order to present a different face of hell, a lot of CG is essential, and .W's CG company has become one of the best in the world, and many Hollywood companies have done a lot of work. However, when shooting, he did not rely entirely on green screen and CG, and used 600 tons of soil to create a mountain landscape, and then planted trees and paved the lawn to create a mountain landscape.
The most important point is that this is Park Ji-hoon's first self-directed and self-acted work since "The Battle of Mingliang".
A "Look" and a "Battle of Mingliang" pushed Park Ji-hoon's film career to the peak, whether as a director or an actor.
However, after that, he never directed a work again, but only starred in someone else's work.
There is also a lot of discussion about this, and the mainstream view is that he cherishes feathers. Whether as a director or an actor, it is enough to be proud and cherish one work of more than 10 million in his life, his "Lookout" has a good reputation, and he cooperated with Song Kanghao and Cha Taehyun, and the box office unfortunately stopped at 9.9 million.
The number of viewers of "The Battle of Mingliang" is more than 17 million, exceeding the second place "The Battle of Mingliang" by more than 3 million and the third place "Veteran" by 4 million, which is beyond the reach of manpower!
Most of the people in the film industry understand his pressure, and many people have expressed their personal opinions on various occasions, believing that he will not direct new works in a few years, and needs to accumulate more deeply.
The view was correct, but he did not follow common sense.
Moreover, the span this time is quite large, transforming from a costume historical movie to a fantasy blockbuster in one fell swoop!
Whether it is success or failure, everyone is waiting and waiting.
Some people hope that he will succeed, and some people will look forward to failure.
Either way, it's a good thing for the media that expects the news.
At this press conference, more reporters came than ever before, and the interviews were more detailed than ever, from the highlights during the filming, to the post-production, to the expectations of the movie box office, etc., I can't wait to turn the bottom up.
Finally.
"May I ask Mr. Park Ji-hoon, why did you choose June 28 to be released, and is there any special significance?" At the end of the press conference, a reporter suddenly asked.
June 28th is Xu Xian's birthday!
Not to mention the current relationship between Park Ji-hoon and Seo Hyun, the two once starred in "My Knot" together, and there are still many CP fans of the two until now!
As we all know, netizens have always been a group with vast powers and omnipotence.
After the release time of the movie was confirmed, there was a wave of craze on the Internet, which divided into two waves of controversy. Yibo thinks that he deliberately chose Xu Xian's birthday, not June 28, and Yibo thinks that he chose June 28, which happens to coincide with Xu Xian's birthday.
Originally, it was just a fan concern, but under this controversy, the momentum gradually expanded, more and more netizens joined, and the media began to pay attention.
"Yes, yes, no, no. Park Ji-hoon gave a vague answer, and then took the initiative to explain without waiting for a question: "The film schedule for this movie is at the end of June, so why not choose June 28? ”
Cha Taixian and others next to him didn't expect him to admit it directly.
However, despite the surprise in their hearts, they remained silent.
Maybe it's better to say that.
Moreover, this is also a topical, online debate, which is equivalent to free advertising, and it is also the kind with excellent results.
It is not unusual for him to say "borrowing qi rhyme", which is very popular in South Korea, and many students will borrow qi rhyme from college entrance examinations, film and television production, singers, politicians running for election, etc.
"What is Miss Xu Xian's reaction?" a reporter asked unwillingly.
His answer was very tactful, and he didn't dare to take it out of context, so he started making up a title and making it up. It doesn't matter to other artists, it's not good for him, D Agency doesn't dare to report his news, the Fang family of "Chosun Ilbo" is "hacked" by him, don't want it - it is more appropriate to say that the Fang family itself is too black, but other media dare not report it, after being with him last year, all kinds of black materials have been constantly exposed, and even the reputation of "Chosun Daily" has plummeted.
However, his personality is not as tough as before, and his mentality is much higher and bigger, so he basically doesn't mind asking questions like this.
"June 28th is not the only one who has a birthday, such as Ha Ji Won's predecessor is also on this birthday, and there are countless people. So, it should be said that there is this factor, but not only for her. I really don't know her reaction, everyone is busy during this time, and I haven't seen her yet. Park Ji-hoon skillfully helped her take a lot of possible pressure off her shoulders.
I've been waiting here for a long time, and I didn't mention Xu Xian in my previous answer.
As an artist, you must be appropriately tactful, and how to do it is your own business, but you can't explain it to the outside world.
This concludes the press conference.
The relevant personnel went to entertain a group of reporters, and naturally there was no need for Park Ji-hoon to come forward.
Several leading actors did not leave in a hurry, but discussed the topic of the movie together.
is about to be released, half expectant, half nervous.
"How much does Jihoon think the box office can have this time?" is naturally the most concerned about the box office.
While it can't be said that the box office decides everything, at least it decides most of it.
Moreover, this is a commercial film!
Park Ji-hoon is also good at commercial genres, whether it is romantic comedy, costume films, or fantasy films, they all have this in common.
Perhaps that's why he's so successful as a businessman.
"Just guessing out of thin air?" Park Ji-hoon asked with a smile.
hasn't been tested yet, so how can he guess?
"Just say a number, there's no need to be so serious. Cha Tae-hyun said, "After the movie is released, we will make a convention based on the actual situation." ”
The so-called "convention" is an agreement made by the actor or staff to the audience, which is generally what they will do if the box office exceeds the amount, such as inviting a group of audiences to coffee, doing some kind of performance, and so on.
"More than 6 million. Park Ji-hoon replied casually.
The two films were filmed together, with a total investment of 32 billion won, and more than 12 million moviegoers will not lose money.
"It's too conservative, why should it be more than 8 million, after all, it's you...... Ahh
Jin Xiangqi and others have long been surprised, and the two often fight during filming.
