Regarding the various rumors circulating on the Internet, JHJEntertainment did not come forward to respond, allowing various versions of the statement to ferment on the Internet, but several media that have had close cooperation with JHJEntertainment have come forward to refute the rumors, relying on the current development of network technology, more and more netizens are absorbing news through the Internet, and the complex news on the Internet has also distracted their attention, after several days of headlines, Gradually, the heat will come down, and this is the sadness of the 'post-Internet era'.

Although the popularity of the scandal has come down, the discussion about the movie "Lao Qian" has started another wave of counter-current along with this wave of scandals, the original 30% attendance rate has rebounded to 45%, and the number of moviegoers that has been growing slowly has started a new round of growth, which is a miracle. In last week's weekly viewership competition, "Lao Qian", as a movie that has been released for six weeks, won the weekly box office championship for four consecutive weeks, it can be said that this achievement is definitely the brightest of this year's opening films, of course, the "King's Man" is not this year's, but last year's movie.

According to the box office statistics released by the Korean Film Promotion Council on the 25th, the Korean film "Lao Qian" co-starring Cho Seung-woo and Kim Hye-so attracted 540,529 audiences in 746 theaters across the country from the 23rd to the 25th of this month, and the cumulative number of moviegoers exceeded 6.5 million, firmly occupying the box office champion this year. It was a surprise for Jung Hyuk-jae.

"I can't believe that a movie that everyone is not optimistic about can get such a high box office!"

Some movie lovers gave an example of the ranking of '19 banned movies', and "Lao Qian", which has received more than 6.8 million viewers, is the strongest candidate to break the record of the movie "Friends" starring Zhang Dongjian. No, with a box office score of nearly seven million, "Lao Qian" can be said to have succeeded.

"Is it really not optimistic? I don't think so, the people of JHJFilm and Jung Hyuk-jae should have a lot of confidence in this movie, right? ”

"The key is that the source of this movie has been leaked to the Internet, is this incident not enough to deal a devastating blow to the box office of "Lao Qian"? can have such a high box office result now, I guess Jung Hyuk-jae will laugh out loud in his dreams, right? ”

Netizens are full of sympathy for the experience of "Lao Qian", but it is not that no one deliberately jumped out to sing the opposite, "Do you really think that the source of "Lao Qian" was leaked by that thief or something? It's too young, and this is just a premeditated propaganda by JHJFilm. Some netizens jumped out of this remark, which also attracted the recognition of many netizens, after all, the box office rise of "Lao Qian" is too rebellious. If the box office trend of "Lao Qian" is drawn on the chart, then it is simply a line that no one can understand.

Some netizens also praised it, "I don't think it's hype for the leakage of the film source, after all, the risk of doing so is too high, and I think JHJFilm's various recovery measures in the case of the leakage of his own movie source are really powerful, not only coaxing the audience back to the cinema, but also pushing the box office of the movie to 6.8 million in one fell swoop, which is a miracle!" ”

A website specially made a survey and filmed the 19 banned movies made in China over the years. Make options for netizens to choose, in this survey that is not too rigorous, netizens who choose "Lao Qian" accounted for 16.4%, and won the top spot in the list of favorite adult movies of all ages.

"The assistant over there hurry up and bring water!"

I heard a 'cut' from director Park Kwang-hyun. The assistant who had been waiting on the side for a long time immediately had the sight to bring water over, "Sister Yazhong, give water!" ”

The little assistant, who didn't look big, immediately ran over with water, and Jin Yazhong didn't bother to say thank you after taking it. It doesn't look like a lady at all, and it's far from her usual image.

After a few mouthfuls of water, Jin Yazhong put down the water bottle. Feeling like she was coming back to life, stretching out an arm comparable to the thigh of a little assistant, Jin Yazhong's whole person was embedded in a wide chair, which looked a little funny, not to mention that her original melon seed face had become the current pumpkin seed face, even if she was used to seeing it, but whenever she saw Jin Yazhong's appearance after makeup, everyone couldn't help but chuckle out loud.

"Sister Yazhong, just give me the water bottle."

Hearing the little assistant's words, Jin Yazhong nodded, then handed over the water bottle and added, "Thank you." ”

This is the set of "The Troubles of Beauty", a room built on the set was arranged to look like a KTV private room, everyone in the crew took advantage of the break in filming to rest and chat, and Jin Yazhong, as the heroine, was also slumped in the chair, recovering her little physical strength.

"The Troubles of Beauty" is adapted from the manga drawn by Japanese manga artist Yumiko Suzuki, and the original famous translation called "The Ugly Girl Turns Over", which is a film that tells the story of weight loss and plastic surgery that is closely related to the Korean people.

Weighing in at 200 pounds and lacking a gifted vocal voice, Hannah is a "faceless singer" who is responsible for providing a voice to the sexy singer Ami. At the same time, she falls in love with Yami's music producer Joon-sang. After she learns that Joon is kind to her just to take advantage of her, she has a full body plastic surgery and weight loss. A year later, she returned to Joon-sang as Jenny, and was chosen by Joon-sang as the new singer to replace Ami. But Jenny, who has a graceful body and angelic face, finds that she can't find herself......

Plastic surgery is a national topic in Korea, and not only women but even men are very concerned about their appearance.

After buying the rights to adapt Yumiko Suzuki's manga, Jung Hyuk-jae, as one of the screenwriters of the movie, almost completely rewrote the script of the movie, although it is not as twisty and bizarre as the storyline of the original book, just like the heroine in the film, she also underwent painful plastic surgery, showing the audience the essence of the story.

When receiving this movie, Park Kwang-hyun first took a fancy to the connotation of this movie. Although it is a comedy, it has a sad form that almost everyone who has plastic surgery can find their own shadow in.

If everyone in the crew is asked to choose the hardest role among everyone, then most of them will choose Jin Yazhong without hesitation, this is not because of the face, nor because everyone likes beautiful women, but as long as you see Jin Yazhong's makeup, you can experience the many difficulties of her role.

Because she has to play a fat woman who weighs 200 pounds, Jin Yazhong, who is a representative of her slender body, has suffered a lot, and the most uncomfortable of them may be makeup, which was enjoyed by makeup artists in the past. But on the set of "The Trouble of Beauty", makeup is a 5-hour torture, and every time you put on makeup, you need several hours to put on makeup and wear special fat clothes, don't look at the current weather atmosphere is not high, but on the shooting set, under the light and the clothes weighing dozens of pounds on the body, a layer of dense fine sweat will appear on Jin Yazhong's face in a short time.

Makeup is inconvenient, mobility is impossible, let alone after putting on a layer of artificial human skin. Even the words have changed a little, the corners of the mouth can't be opened, the voice is loud, it's all kinds of trouble.

There is also an anecdote about this fat coat. It is said that after Jin Yazhong put on fat makeup and walked on the street, people even talked behind her back that she was "about to vomit", which shows the 'charm' of obesity.

This is not the first time that Korean films have discussed the issue of weight and plastic surgery.

Park Chol-so filmed a slightly thriller-style "301302" in 1995, telling the story of two women living next to each other, one fat and one thin. The story ends with a skinny food columnist asking an obese chef to dismember himself into a dismemberment. In 2003, Park Chan-woo and six other directors co-produced a collection of short films on human rights, "Korean Style Painting". Among them, female director Lin Shunli's work "Her Weight" depicts the pressure of employment and even survival faced by a chubby senior high school girl. This ten-minute short film depicts the psychology of fat girls and this country where appearance is paramount.

What these movies mention is reflected in "The Troubles of Beauty", don't feel how ridiculous these scenes are, look at how many girls around you lose weight, envying good-looking people has long been popular. In order to become beautiful, people do not hesitate to pay a huge physical price for plastic surgery.

After resting for a while, I felt that my strength had recovered a little, and Kim Ya-jung got up and came to the side of director Park Kwang-hyun, "Director, how was that scene just now?" I'd like to see the effect. ”

"No problem."

Sitting behind the monitor, Park Guangxian brought up the shot just shot, the main content of this morning's shooting is in this KTV, in addition to the many inconveniences just mentioned, her appearance today is even more strange, the figure after makeup and fat clothes is very scary, plus a red tight-fitting dress, it is like pork strangled by a rope, which makes people laugh.

The plot is mainly about the male protagonist giving the female protagonist Hannah a dress and inviting her to the party, and when Hannah played by Jin Yazhong put on a dress and came to KTV, she saw the female number two next to the male protagonist, and the two of them collided......

Park Kwang-hyun's eyes noticed Hannah on the monitor, first of all, he must be sure of Kim Ah-jung's acting skills, but there were still some small problems in the shooting, such as the actor's movement and expression control, at least after another inspection, Park Kwang-hyun found that there was a person laughing in the group performance in the lower right corner of the screen, which means that the part just filmed had to be invalidated.

After resting for more than ten minutes, the film crew was put into the intense filming again, in fact, Park Guangxian was not nervous, as the boss of the crew of "The Troubles of Beauty", everyone in the crew ate, drank and lazard, and the daily expenses were a lot of money, and the filming progress of the movie was naturally as fast as possible under the premise of ensuring quality.

"President?"

Hearing a small commotion behind him, Park Kwang-hyun, who was wearing a side-to-side monitoring headset, turned his head and saw Jung Hyuk-jae, and was about to get up, but was stopped by Jung Hyuk-jae waving his hand, and Jung Hyuk-jae stood quietly behind a cameraman without disturbing the other staff, watching the filming of the film through his lens.

For example, if you want to show the protagonist pushing the door in, you need to shoot from other people's perspectives, and the camera position is the most important form of language in the film director's style, and different directors will have different directing styles and camera choices, which will be reflected in the movie.

In the picture, Jeong-min, played by Kim Hyun-sook, is Hannah's good friend, and under her leadership, Hannah walks into the private room with a handbag.

"Hannah, sit here." Han Sangjun, the actor played by Zhu Zhenmo, patted the seat next to him and said.

Jin Yazhong showed a hint of snickering, showing the woman's mentality very well, unconsciously shrugging her shoulders, and smiling unconsciously at the corner of her mouth, these are all manifestations of her acting skills.

"Please share a drink." Han Shangjun said.

Hannah struggled through the small gap between the people and the table, squeezed in and apologized embarrassedly as she walked: "Sorry, sorry! ”

The character played by Cheng Dongil looked at Hannah's performance, showing a trace of disdain, and there was a bit of helplessness in his tone, "You should come around from behind." ”

Hannah glanced at the gap behind the chair, bent down and nodded, and smiled awkwardly: "Ah! "Gesture and prepare to go back again.

"Let's come back!" The people around me really can't stand it.

Hannah came to the male protagonist's side with difficulty and handed over the gift that had been prepared: "I bought you something." ”

Han Shangjun took it and said with a smile: "It's so polite!" As he spoke, he opened the package, "Oh, I love it, thank you." ”

Although they have seen the shooting of this shot several times, the staff at the scene can't help but laugh out loud whenever they see this, but because they are still shooting, they hold back the laughter and their faces turn red.

With the experience of previous shooting, coupled with the stable performance of the actors this time, the camera passed over and over again, accompanied by Park Kwang-hyun's voice: "Cut! The staff on site breathed a sigh of relief.

Kim Ah-jung dragged his vain weight and weight to Park Kwang-hyun's side, and then saw Jung Hyuk-jae standing aside looking at him, and hurriedly bent down to greet, "Jung Hyuk-jae, hello!" ”

"Don't be so polite." Watching Kim Ya-jung bend over with difficulty after putting on makeup, Jung Hyuk-jae was a little unbearable.

After chatting for a few words after meeting, Jung Hyuk-jae talked to Park Kwang-hyun about shooting, while Kim Ah-jung waited to remove his makeup, and his eyes drifted to the person not far away from time to time......
