Chapter 286. "Ruthless City" Jung Kyung-ho!

The time finally came on May 15, 2013, and the drama "Horror Live" was finally about to start.

As the director and main investor of this play, Yin Tianyou naturally can't help but participate in the opening ceremony.

So early this morning, Yin Tianyou rushed to the Hanjiang set where the filming of "Horror Live" started.

As the first film after the establishment of the film and television department of JYP Entertainment, President Park Jin-young gave strong support, and as the director, Yoon Tian-woo was even more solemn, busy and tossing inside and out, and deliberately made this opening ceremony very lively, which opened Park Jin-young's eyes.

I saw a huge poster hanging in the center, and on the poster, it was a big avatar of Ha Jung-woo, Jang Kyung-young, Jung Kyung-ho and other leading actors.

Ha Jung-woo is sitting on a studio chair at the moment, one hand is gently pressed on the table, and the other hand is slowly holding a phone, as if he is listening, with surprise and fear in his eyes.

In the background of the poster, they are the mysterious man played by Jung Kyung-ho and the TV station director played by veteran actor Jang Kyung-young.

As an older generation of Korean actors, Zhang Jingrong is very dedicated, and of course, he also loves money very much. If you want to ask him to film, you must have a very large price, for example, if he plays a supporting role in a play, the price is often higher than ten supporting roles. But this time, he still only needed the money for a supporting role, and the reason was that Ha Jung-woo persuaded him.

For Ha Zhengyu, Zhang Jingrong's predecessors have always been his acting role models, so the two have a great relationship, and this time he was able to meet such a good script, Ha Zhengyu was addicted to drama, so he pulled Zhang Jingrong into the crew by the way. The reason is that you will only feel better if you partner with him to play opposite scenes.

For Yin Tianyou, he invisibly took a big advantage. And the cast of this drama directed by him has been upgraded again.

However, in the eyes of some insiders, the cast is large enough - after all, this is a small-budget movie with an investment of only two or three billion, but it is difficult to say whether Yin Tianyou, as a director, can control such two big-name predecessors.

Actually on this. Park Jin-young, who is the president of JYP, is also very worried, although the film and television department belongs to Yoon Tianyou's independent kingdom, it is still under the name of JYP.

No way, the company's image is more important than anything else these days, look at S-M company. Because of the last few scandals, the whole company has not turned over until now.

In addition to the huge movie posters, all the props for worshipping God were also prepared, and the stage was also temporarily built, and the banners were hung all over the place, and the streamers were flying. I knew that this was turning on, and if I didn't know, I thought it was singing a big show.

Say it in Korea. There are rules for this pre-boot worship ceremony, to set up the table, place all kinds of offerings, and then very devout to pray for the blessing of the gods to recite, occasionally invite some gods and other jumping gods to drive away ghosts and disasters.

Of course. In addition, there is another function of worshipping God when the movie is turned on, that is, to gather all the actors when worshipping God, so as to facilitate reporters to interview and promote the play......

However, this time, Yoon Tianyou's worship ceremony is somewhat different from the general worship of the gods in South Korea, because he imitates the Chinese model. In addition to offering sacrifices such as suckling pigs during the worship of the gods, a lion dance team is also invited.

That's right, it's the lion dance team.

This kind of scene of starting a lion dance is absolutely rare in South Korea, so much so that seeing this kind of scene made those Korean media think of the Hong Kong movie "Once Upon a Time" for the first time.

In the surprise and inexplicability, everyone was full of curiosity, after all, Yin Tianyou's identity as a Chinese is well known, and there is nothing wrong with people filming to worship gods and lion dances, but this strange way still surprised them inexplicably.

Just when the big guy was thinking, the sound of firecrackers "crackled", and then looked at the Chinese martial artist who was invited, majestically holding the lion's head with both hands and began to dance towards Park Zhenying.

According to Yoon Tianyou's meaning, as the president, it is best for Park Jin-young to be able to give the lion an eye-catcher, after all, he is the biggest.

But—

"God bless, you are the director of the film and television department, and you are the director and producer of this play, this time you will personally put the finishing touches on the film lion!" Park Jin-young took the cinnabar pen and handed it to Yoon Tianwoo instead.

Yin Tianyou was stunned for a moment and declined: "After a long time, Brother Zhenying, you still have to come to this eye-catching matter." ”

Park Zhenying smiled: "We don't pay attention to that...... What's more, in my opinion, this drama is all up to you, so it's up to you to put the finishing touch......"

Seeing Park Jinying's sincere attitude, Yoon Tianyou was embarrassed to refuse again, so he had to take the cinnabar pen and tap twice on the lion's eyes very decently.

After the finishing touch, the master of ceremonies: "Licheng!" The words fell, and the gongs and drums were noisy!

The lion dance is even more exciting, Yin Tianyou has also seen the lion dance before, especially during the New Year's holidays, there is a lion dance team in the Chinese community in South Korea to perform, which is very exciting.

It's just that with the boycott of Chinese culture by traditional Korean culture, Yin Tianyou hasn't seen a lion dance for a long time.

Occasionally, when I think of this lion dance scene, the best way is to watch old Hong Kong films, such as "The Lion King" and the like, which is very enjoyable.

Seeing the lion dance today, Yin Tianyou also watched intently. The lion dance from falling asleep and waking up, scratching its head and tail, looking up and looking down, detecting the direction to seeing green, breaking green, carnival, tumbling and other postures, all of them are flexible and vivid and surprising, and the skills such as going on the bench and climbing the pole have made the surrounding staff applaud.

The busy and lively worship of God finally came up with a clue, and when it came to the last worship session, Yin Tianyou, who is also a director and investor, once again stood in the first place. Led by his popular superstar, the Koreans lined up in a large area, each holding three large sandalwood sticks the thickness of their little fingers, and bowed three times to the incense table with various offerings such as suckling pig fruit in the Chinese way.

Religious or not, the ritual is simple, if you simply calculate the time to worship the gods in just a minute, and at this time, the really important part is actually just beginning, and that is a small press conference during the opening ceremony.

This kind of scene can be seen in the difference in treatment. Or the question of popularity, there are not many people who can sit on the chairs on the interview desk for interviews, just Yoon Tianwoo, Ha Jung-woo, Jang Kyung-young and Jung Kyung-ho, and some other supporting characters can only sit below. Of course, they are asked fewer questions, which is also a complete reflection of the newsworthiness.

After a brief introduction, it was time for the reporter to ask questions, but what I didn't expect was that the first question asked by the reporter was about Yin Tianyou and Zheng Xiujing.

But before they could continue to ask, Yin Tianyou interrupted their questioning and stated: "Today I only talk about things related to the movie, and I won't say anything else." ”

didn't expect Yin Tianyou's attitude to be so resolute, and those reporters who wanted to gossip were immediately dumbfounded.

The rest of the interview was very formal.

First of all, the media reporters aimed at the male protagonist of this drama - Ha Jung-woo.

"Mr. Ha Jung-woo. I heard that you are directing a movie called "Roller Coaster", but now you are the main star of this play, you are always so surprised, can you tell us what happened this time? ”

"Thank you!" Ha Jung-woo said politely, and glanced at director Yin Tianyou again, "To be honest, even I was a little surprised, in fact, my drama has basically been filmed." I happen to have that kind of time...... As for why I suddenly became the leading actor in this play, it was all Yin Tianyou's sincere invitation. Of course, this script is absolutely good enough, and those who know me well know that I am not immune to good scripts...... It is precisely because of the above two reasons that I have no hesitation to take on this important role, and I will try my best to play this role well. ”

A reporter from Entertainment Express also stood up. But this time, I was asking Yin Tianyou, "FIVE, I heard that the investment this time is not high, but the script is very good, how can you make a good film with limited funds?" ”

"Hmm. That's a good question. At first, like you, I felt that the funds were too small to shoot a blockbuster, but fortunately, the excellent script made up for this shortcoming. For me, being a director is really a good attempt, so from the beginning I didn't plan to extravagant the lineup, I just wanted to direct my own drama well. In terms of filming techniques and techniques, I need to use this drama to slowly learn and learn from my predecessors. So, this play is my Virgo and my first official directorial career, and I have high hopes for it and will try to do my best. Thank you! ”

"Then excuse me, why did you invite Ha Jung-woo seniors to participate in this play?" Another reporter asked.

"Hehe, this question is very simple, in my opinion, Ha Jung-woo's predecessors' acting skills are absolutely first-class. Yes, among many Korean actors, his excellence is obvious to all, and the "Yellow Sea" alone is amazing, so the actor in this drama is none other than him. ”

Many people believe in Yoon Tianyou's praise of Ha Jung-woo's acting skills, after all, Ha Jung-woo is an Asian actor and has participated in the Cannes Film Festival, plus he is from an acting family, and almost every play has a breakthrough in acting. Therefore, everyone is full of indescribable expectations for Ha Jung-woo's performance in this "Horror Live".

Just imagine, the talented FIVE, coupled with the first-class acting Ha Jung-woo, what kind of sparks will be created when the two work together?!

Seeing that the question about Yin Tianyou was almost asked, at this time, the reporter of "Entertainment Times" asked again, "FIVE, do you think Chen himself has turned from a singer, actor, and then a gorgeous turn to become a director, can the audience accept it?" ”

"The audience accepts a new director, just like a boyfriend and girlfriend, the first impression is very important, and what kind of impression the drama "Horror Live" will give you determines what you think of me, so I am under a lot of pressure, and of course, very motivated." Facing reporters, Yin Tianyou talked eloquently.

"As we all know, you are good at writing songs, but you wrote the script yourself, and now you have to be a director again, if you fail, will you disappoint the fans?" The reporter continued to ask.

"As the saying goes, failure is the mother of success, and there is no success without trying. So I'm ready to shoot this drama with the attitude of a primary school student, hoping that the results will be better. Yin Tianyou looked very modest.

"Having said that, as a director, it often has a lot to do with people's experience, and we all doubt that you can grasp that kind of situation where people's hearts change when you are so young."

The others nodded their heads in agreement.

Yin Tianyou laughed and said: "I think everyone is worried about this problem, although I am still young, but there are so many excellent seniors around me-" Yin Tianyou looked at Ha Zhengyu, Zhang Jingrong, and Cui Dongxun and others. "In my opinion, they are all my teachers...... As I said, the process of filming this drama is actually the process of my learning. So please believe me, and I will definitely work hard. Thank you all again! ”

What Yin Tianyou said is reasonable, and he is very modest and polite, even the most difficult reporter is embarrassed to ask any more questions.

So a reporter changed the topic and asked Yin Tianyou again, "FIVE, your talent is obvious to all, but we still want to ask you what your understanding of the script is, are you confident in directing, and what are your expectations at the box office." ”

"Well, as you all know, I wrote this script, and my theme is a series of thrilling stories that take place in a relatively small space. Therefore, when directing this play, I will focus on portraying and rendering the suspenseful atmosphere, which of course, is also a challenge to the actors' acting skills...... In short, what we need for this film is a more dramatic effect, in my opinion, the characters in the film are all very important, and I hope to surprise everyone at that time. ”

Yin Tianyou still looked very calm and calm, and his answer was decent, at this time, it is indeed a bit difficult to have strong content.

Someone finally turned his attention to Jung Kyung-ho, the seemingly most inexperienced actor in the entire crew.

Speaking of Zheng Kyung-ho, who was born in a family of directors, Korean industry insiders had to give a thumbs up and praise for being amazing, because this guy didn't rely on his father who was a director, and he created a world in the Korean entertainment industry.

Especially this year, as a rare powerful actor in South Korea, Jung Kyung-ho starred in the TV series "Ruthless City" on cable TV.

In this play, Jung Kyung-ho played the male protagonist nicknamed "Professor" to life, so much so that this drama was hailed as the Korean TV version of "Infernal Affairs", and some people even called him Tony Leung of South Korea.

In fact, if you are familiar with Zheng Jinghao, you know that Tony Leung has always been the idol in his acting life, in the words of Zheng Jinghao, "Wei Tsai is the person who is the best at acting with his eyes in the world." ”

It is the worship of Tony Leung that makes Zheng Jinghao have a strong strength among his peers in terms of acting skills.

However, the Korean media likes him, not because he is very good at acting, but because he is very "sincere", and some media once questioned whether he had plastic surgery - this guy was a little fat man when he was a child. Jung Kyung-ho's answer was - yes!

It can be said that few artists in South Korea dare to admit that they have had plastic surgery, and Jung Kyung-ho can be said to be the first.

Because of this, the South Korean media called him "a person who can't lie."

Now, these media are ready to target this person who can't lie, and pull out some secret information about the crew. (To be continued.) )
