After finishing the filming of the apple orchard in the countryside, I returned to Er, and there was only one week left before the broadcast time.
Today's rare rest time, Lee Joon-yi is not sleeping, nor is he writing music, but reading a script. This script was not brought by Lin Xiyuan, but by Lee Yunzhen. Lee Yoon-jung was a well-known short film director before she successfully turned into a TV drama director, and this time her friend Luo Hongzhen is planning to shoot his first feature film.
When it comes to Luo Hongzhen, just like mentioning Lee Yunzhen, you will think of "Taereung Player Village", and the award-winning "Perfect Red Silk Cuisine" and the "Hate" that won the Best Short Film at the Daejong Award at the three major Korean film festivals are Luo Hongzhen's masterpieces. Luo Hongzhen's works have always been notable for their novel storylines, but also for their outstanding talent in visual expression.
This time, Luo Hongzhen decided to shoot his feature film, and has now found an investment and production team, and is selecting actors. Luo Hongzhen handed over his script to his friend Lee Yoon-jung to discuss the choice of actors. During a joking chit-chat, Lee Yoon-jeong mentioned the movie and asked Lee Joon-yi if he was interested. Lee Joon-yi has always been straightforward, so of course there is no problem with saying that the script is good. So Lee Yun-jung also copied a copy of the script to Lee Joon-yi.
Now, Lee Joon-jin is looking at the man in his hand called "Chaser." of Liben.
This is a crime film, listening to Lee Yoon-jeong, this script was created by Luo Hongzhen himself. Luo Hong Town was walking down the beaten track on a late night. I happened to see a woman on foot, and suddenly thought: If this woman suddenly disappeared at this time, and left no evidence or witnesses, would it be possible to find her? Based on this sudden inspiration, Luo Hongzhen created this police film with an outdated theme but a very novel perspective.
The story is actually quite simple.
Chung Ho, a former criminal police officer who has changed careers, runs a massage parlor. Recently, there have been many strange things in the massage parlor, and the massage girls in the hospital have disappeared one after another, and the last girl to leave is called Meizhen. The number of the guest who contacted Mi-jin's last phone was strikingly the same as the last number of all the missing girls, but Mi-jin could no longer be reached. In the process of finding Mi-jin. Chung-ho happened to meet a guy named Yingmin, and because he saw the blood stains on his clothes, he concluded that this person was the culprit who caused the massage girl to disappear one after another, and launched a pursuit of him.
Yingmin revealed that all the missing girls had been killed, and the whole police station was in an uproar for a while. However, in front of the already busy police, Yingmin smiled calmly and claimed that Mi-jin was still alive. There was no evidence to arrest the British. The police officers, frustrated by the bloodshed, are eager to find evidence related to the British people's murder. Chung-ho is the only one who firmly believes that Mi-jin is still alive, so he starts to search around.
To put it simply, it is the story of a former criminal police officer who struggles alone to rescue a missing massage girl. If you want to give the film some noble mission, it can also be summed up in one sentence: the heroic story of a man who saves the victims at all costs in order to defend the dignity of life.
In fact, the story is not complicated, just like Luo Hongzhen's original inspiration, it is just a very simple story with a line index. But "" pursuers. But it is significantly different from the plot setting of previous crime movies.
Traditional crime films generally focus on finding out the real character of the murderer, laying out all the characters and plots according to this task, and positioning the focus on "who is the murderer?" or "how to arrest him?". Above. And yet "" pursuers. But in another way, the identity of the prisoner was clearly explained in the first half of the film, and the prisoner even blatantly provoked the police, and the perfect criminal plan made the police unable to find the slightest flaw, so that they could not arrest him. As a result, the film has since staged individual heroism, and the protagonist Yan Zhonghao becomes the key person to save the sole survivor and solve the mystery of the whole incident.
At the same time, because the style of the film is close to the documentary, it can also be called a side reflection of Korean society in the century. In recent years, there has been a steady stream of civil terrorist incidents in South Korean society. The social turmoil brought about by such evil events as robbery, kidnapping, and serial murder is becoming more and more critical to the vital interests of citizens. This is also one of the reasons why the previous incident of attacking Li Zhunyi caused such a big social reaction. Now on the big screen, there are also many related films, hoping to sound the alarm for this society where individualism is rampant and self-interest is rampant, but the effect has not been obvious, and the film has not received enough attention.
This time, Luo Hongzhen put such a nose tension relationship directly in front of everyone, knowing that the murderer was in front of him, but there was no evidence that he did it, and the protagonist was even more with the last bit of humanity, believing that the last missing massage girl was still alive, and working hard to find this last survivor. The heroine of the film is positioned as a massage girl, a middle- and lower-class profession in society, and it can also be seen that Luo Hongzhen is serious about the discussion of social issues.
After reading this script, Li Zhunyi was very interested. Not to mention that this is a police and bandit action movie, which is completely different from the scenes Lee Joon-yi has taken before, but in terms of story theme and character charm, it is enough to attract Lee Joon-yi. Every decision of the protagonist Zhonghao in the film coincides with Lee Joon-yi's thoughts, not referring to the profound righteousness of standing up for justice, but to the courage and resoluteness of daring to love and hate. This made Lee Joon-yi resonate very much. And the other one in the play: the two purposes of the knife, the corner cooking of the murderous demon Yingmin is a huge challenge, crazy, addictive to the two slack IQ, playing with the police between applause, this is a huge test of acting skills.
Whether it is a positive role or a negative role, Lee Joon-yi has infinite interest, and he really loves this script.
However, when discussing with Lin Xiyuan, Xiao Lin Xiyuan showed a completely different attitude. Aside from the role, this script is definitely a small production, and before the director directed again, "Love the Sky" Natsuki Imai is the first time to direct a film independently, and the script is also written by the director himself.
Lin Xiyuan believes that after Lee Joon-yi took over three TV series and a Japanese movie, the next movies need to be strong and strong.
For Lin Xiyuan's point of view, Li Junyi is noncommittal, for film and television, the script is one of the most important conditions, the script of "Chaser" is undoubtedly good enough, if the director can accurately grasp the rhythm of the movie and create a sense of tension, then the movie is undoubtedly an excellent work.
However, Lin Xiyuan is far from saying that in Fuguo, it is definitely the director, not the actor, who has appeal at the box office. Luo Hongzhen is famous for short films in the industry, but it is the first time to make a feature film, and it has no appeal among the audience, and the box office is indeed not optimistic. What's more, Lee Joon-yi only has a successful work in the TV series at present, "Coffee Prince No. 1 Store" has not yet been broadcast, and "Love in the Sky" has not yet been released, and I don't know the results, so Li Junyi's box office appeal is completely impossible to talk about. So Lin Pingyuan's worries are not unreasonable.
The second reason for Lin Xiyuan's opposition is more sufficient, "Chaser." The two main characters in the play, Chung Ho and Youngmin, are both characters over the age of thirty, and even Chung Ho, a retired criminal police officer, needs to be close to forty years old. Age is not absolute, but what the role needs is a sense of vicissitudes and experience, which is the first major challenge in front of Li Zhunyi, who has not yet passed his twentieth birthday.
Speaking of this problem, Li Zhunyi lacks confidence, and there is no way to confidently say that he can rely on his acting skills to make up for the age gap. Although the face is not a problem, there are still twenty-year-old people who play the seventy or eighty-year-old through makeup, so it is not a problem for Lee Zhun Yi to show his appearance in his thirties and forties, but the focus is on the eyes, the vicissitudes and experience in his demeanor, which is the biggest obstacle for Li Zhun Yi.
Li Zhunyi knew that Lin Xiyuan was right. But Li Zhunyi really likes this script, and his intuition tells him that if he misses this script, he will regret it. So Li Zhunyi still decided to meet Luo Hongzhen.
Lin Xiyuan knows that Li Zhunyi has always had his own unique vision for selecting works, and he has proved this well in the year and a half since his debut. So seeing Li Zhunyi so insistent, Lin Xiyuan was a little more interested in the script, and after thinking about it again, Lin Xiyuan still felt that it was not appropriate to take over the script. This is also the first time that Lin Xiyuan has questioned Li Zhunyi's vision. However, Lin Xiyuan did not stop Li Zhunyi from meeting Luo Hongzhen, and actively set up a line for the two, in Lin Xiyuan's opinion, Luo Hongzhen would not think that Li Zhunyi was the right person for this role.
It's been a long, long time since Lee Joon-yi was so nervous about attending an interview, maybe because he cared. Of course, Lee Joon-yi hasn't been rejected for a long time, especially now that the script will be sent to the door. However, Luo Hongzhen, just like Lin Xiyuan's expectation, rejected Li Zhunyi outright.
The main reason is as expected, Li Zhun Yi is not yet twenty years old, no matter how good his makeup skills are, his eyes and expressions still have no way to show the vicissitudes of life, if he is not old, then he needs absolute acting strength to make up for the age difference. But Luo Hongzhen thinks that Li Zhunyi does not have such perfect acting skills at present. Moreover, Luo Hongzhen thinks that Lee Joon-yi is too handsome and not suitable for the role in the movie. This made Li Zhunyi quite crying and laughing.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Li Zhunyi had nothing to say, he just felt very regretful. After that, Li Zhunyi was unwilling, and found Luo Hongzhen twice, and carefully studied the script, and when he saw Luo Anzhen for the third time, he also performed a scene in the play in front of Luo Hongzhen. Lin Xiyuan has not seen Lee Joon-yi so committed for a long time, even when he was making the album "King", he didn't see Lee Joon-yi's expression so longing. Even if the filming of "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop" is busy, Xiao Li Zhunyi will occasionally find time to study the "pursuer." This one. Screenplay. Li Zhunyi's investment made Lin Xiyuan helpless, but also moved.
As the saying goes, "three visits to the thatched house" is full of sincerity, but Li Zhunyi's third meeting with Luo Hongzhen was still rejected. Seeing Lee Joon-yi being rejected three times in a row, Lin Xiyuan was moved, he changed his mind, and really hoped that Lee Joon-yi could get this role, whether it was the role of Chung-ho or Yingmin. Lee Joon-yi has shown too much desire for this script.
Today's first update, ask for votes, ask for votes, hehe.
