Chapter 303: Star-Studded Premiere
On the evening of December 28, the crowd outside the Lotte Cinema in Samsan, Seoul, before 7 o'clock, a large number of audience fans and reporters had gathered outside the theater, a long red carpet was paved directly from the theater button to the road outside, and then extended out to the west, the theater staff and security guards maintained order on the scene, and fans and reporters were stopped outside the railing.
At a quarter past seven o'clock in the evening, the first nanny car stopped steadily on the side of the road, the door opened, and a person got out of it, waving his hands to the audience, with a hairstyle like a golden lion king, plus a beard deliberately grown for the promotion of the movie, which is really exactly the same as the image of Yan Shanjun played by himself in the poster, it is the actor Zheng Zhenrong who played Yan Shanjun in the movie.
Zheng Zhenrong is not the kind of cream student in the entertainment industry, but a rare powerful actor in the film industry, his appearance and image are a little rough, and he laughs well, if he doesn't laugh seriously, the whole person gives people a look of not entering, especially his eyes, no matter who he looks at, his gaze is cold, without a little temperature and body temperature, he can really scare children into crying.
Born in 1964, Jung Jin-young has actually been active on the stage of theater, and his debut work was "The Showdown on the Han River" in 1988, and then although he starred in the movie "Open the Closed School Gate", it was Lee Cang-dong, the director of "Green Fish", who really led him into the film industry, and what he learned in this film helped him complete his transformation into a film actor. Zheng Zhenrong, who starred in "Chengruo" in 1998, was affirmed by the Daejong Award.
In fact, this time he starred in the movie "The King's Man", not the first time he cooperated with director Li Junyi, as early as 2003, Zheng Zhenrong starred in another work directed by Li Junyi, the name of the movie is "Huangshan Felling". After cooperating with "Huangshan Expedition", the cooperation between the two was very pleasant. So long before Jung Hyuk-jae wrote the script of "The King's Man", Lee Jun-ik had already confirmed Jung Jin-young in his heart as the best candidate for 'Yanshanjun' in his mind.
"Zheng Zhenrong xi!"
Seeing someone get out of the car and walk on the red carpet, the eyes of the reporters instantly brightened, and when they saw that it was Zheng Zhenrong, the actor of Yan Shanjun in the movie, walking over here, a group of entertainment reporters were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. The microphone in his hand was held high, for fear that he would not see himself, and he drilled forward, if it wasn't for the eyes of the security guards on the side to stop him, it is estimated that he would be able to jump over the railing and rush directly.
"Zheng Zhenrongxi, may I ask what is the difference between the Yan Shanjun you played in the movie and the Yanshan Jun in history?" A reporter raised the microphone and asked.
Yan Sanjun was the tenth monarch of the Yi family, the half-brother of the eleventh monarch of Joseon Zhongzong, although he reigned for only 12 years, but he brought deep fear to the Joseon at that time. The Korean history books even commented on the word 'perverse'.
Originally, this time as the organizer of the Lotte Cinema Line did not prepare an outdoor interview, if there is a problem, after entering the theater, there is time to interview before the movie is shown, but this question is to Zheng Zhenrong's heart, originally he walked the red carpet is just a scene, but after hearing the reporter's question, Zheng Zhenrong slowed down his pace. Then stopped in front of the reporter.
Seeing Zheng Zhenrong stop, this group of reporters was even more crazy. There was a tall arm-long entertainment microphone that was about to stab Zheng Zhenrong in the face, so frightened that he quickly took a few steps back, and after retreating a safe distance, Zheng Zhenrong replied: "In addition to being a tyrant, he is also a flesh-and-blood, real person!" ”
For this one question. Zheng Zhenrong didn't say much, everything he wanted to express was reflected in the movie.
Zheng Zhenrong's words did not extinguish the fire in the hearts of these reporters, but aroused their inner curiosity even more, what does it mean to be 'he is more of a flesh-and-blood, real person'? Could it be that the movie subverted the image of Yan Shanjun in the film and television works in the past?
These questions have been haunting the minds of these journalists. Although entertainment reporters may be more often concerned about which star cheated, which star exposed their romance or something, but when they encounter this kind of topic that people pay attention to, they can always burst out with more vigorous curiosity, such as today's protagonist movie "The King's Man", in just one week, the topic and search popularity have jumped to the top of the weekly and monthly lists, and the popularity has not decreased, and there is quite a momentum of being on the list for a year.
In addition, on the list of search popularity, there are as many as eleven topics about "The King's Man", of which the most popular search is of course 'Flower Boy Li Junji'. Because I haven't seen how the finished movie will be, I haven't mentioned Lee Junji's performance in the movie for the time being, just the poster and trailer exposed by the promoter are enough to make many fans and lick enough of the screen.
Of course, there is also JHJ behind the popularity of this topic. Entertainment's boost, but it's called soft advertising, or marketing.
One of the leading actors, Zheng Zhenrong, has already arrived, so the leading actors of the next movie will naturally rush to the theater one after another, starring Gan Woo-sung, Kang Sung-yeon, director Lee Jun-yi are all here, and there are also friends of the actors who were invited to the scene, and the scene of the entire premiere can really be called a 'star-studded'.
Only reporters and fans have been waiting for more than half an hour Li Junji has not yet arrived, and the people at the scene are already looking through the autumn water, only then they saw a black car coming this way from a distance, and when they saw a car coming, the whole heart beat instantly, and the cameras and cameras that were quickly prepared were aimed at the incoming car, but when they saw who the person who got off the car was, the reporters' faces couldn't help but show a trace of disappointment, why is it not 'Li Junji'?
Jung Hyuk-jae got out of the car and gave the car keys to a staff member at the theater, and then walked on the red carpet, seeing the expressions on the faces of the reporters and friends in front of him, Jung Hyuk-jae couldn't help but smile, "Why, it doesn't seem like you're looking forward to my presence?" ”
"No, no!"
Because of a series of reasons for the TV series press conference and publicity, Jung Hyuk-jae is also familiar with the group of entertainment reporters in front of him. The face is familiar.,There's even a few in it that he can still name.,Of course, these are all girls with big breasts.、
Jung Hyuk-jae came alone, Han Jiaren didn't come with him this time, and at the last premiere, he could help each other with the cooperation he had just ended, if the two appeared together at the premiere again this time. Even a fool can guess what the relationship between Jung Hyuk-jae and Han Jiaren is, not to mention the group of entertainers in front of them who are better than monkeys.
Besides, although the filming of Han Jiaren's TV series "My Girl" is coming to an end, as the protagonist, her role is still very heavy, and naturally there is no time at this time, which is also the reason why Jung Hyuk-jae cares about her.
Jung Hyuk-jae came this time as the producer and investor of "The King's Man", although the reporters were calling his name one by one, but for Lee Jun-ki, who was following behind him, as the boss, he also had to give up the limelight for his artists.
"Wow. Joongi Oppa's car! ”
"Joongi Oppa!"
Zheng Hyukzai climbed the steps, looked at the fans who fell into frenzy in the audience, nodded silently in his heart, the atmosphere of the scene was very good, and the fans shouted hard enough, and went back to dinner to add a chicken leg, and gave them tens of thousands of yuan more for labor fees.
What the? Why give money to these fans, you ask? Don't you know that there's a term called 'professional fan'?
In fact, in the entertainment industry, the existence of 'professional fans' is very common. For example, if there is a small company in the circle that launches a new talent portfolio, if the company's channel resources are not very good. In the early days of the group, it could only brush up on popularity and popularity in Dongdaemun, and at this time, the power of professional fans appeared, and the slogans shouted under the stage can always attract the onlookers of the masses who do not know the truth, stop and watch the performance, and the popularity will slowly brush up, although this is suspected of being a trick. However, this is also an unspoken rule in the entertainment industry, and no one will break it.
Among the 100 fans cheering and screaming in the audience, almost half are professional fans, and the other half are naturally Li Junji's real fans, whether they are passers-by or fans. Yan Fan doesn't matter, anyway, after this premiere, he will become a diehard fan of Lee Junji.
"Joongi Oppa!"
"Oppa, hey, hey!"
Fans rushed to their targets, and the entertainment reporters also pointed the microphone at Lee Jun-gi who got out of the car, and the questions in their mouths popped up one after another, leaving Lee Jun-gi no time to react at all.
Li Junji saw his boss from a distance, nodded slightly, and then raised a smile on the corner of his mouth, and waved his hand to the fans at the scene.
Because of the appearance of Lee Jun-gi, the scene was a little messy, and Jung Hyuk-jae did not stay outside the theater for a long time, turned around and walked into the cinema accompanied by the theater staff, and walked into the IMAX screening hall specially prepared for "The King's Man".
"Hejae Xi, you're finally here, everyone has been waiting for you for almost half an hour, and I thought you wouldn't be here for today's premiere!" Lee Jun Yi grabbed Jung Hyuk Jae's arm and said with a smile.
"Today is the premiere of "The King's Man", how could I not come back, there is a traffic jam on the road to this side, so it is a little late to come." Jung Hyuk-jae explained.
Everyone didn't dwell on this topic much, they each found a seat to sit down, and the leading actor and the main creative staff sat down on one side of the screening room, waiting for the premiere ceremony to start for a while, Lee Jun-ik and Jung Hyuk-jae sat together and exchanged ideas in a whisper.
Today's premiere ceremony said that it was star-studded, which is naturally not bad, the starring role of "The King's Man" is almost the backbone of today's film actors, who have debuted for more than ten years, and there are naturally many people in the circle, and it is naturally possible to invite a few people to come to help him cheer up, after all, everyone has this kind of time, 'convenient for themselves', and it will definitely be useful to each other in the future.
The presence of male stars such as Kim Tae-woo, Lee Ki-chan, Lee Hyuk, Song Seung-hun and so on completely added a bit of color to the premiere ceremony of "The King's Man", as well as the appearance of beautiful actresses such as Shim Eun-jin, Park Shi-yeon, and Lee Shaojuan, which added a touch of beauty to this premiere.
While the entertainment reporters haven't come in yet, the stars gather together in groups and chat quietly, they have been busy with their schedules and work on weekdays, and there are really not many opportunities to meet new friends like this, everyone introduces themselves to each other and expands their contacts, and the whole theater is very lively.
"Zheng PD?"
After talking about things with Lee Jun-ik, Jung Hyuk-jae was just about to rest for a while when he heard someone next to him calling his name, and when he turned around, he was really familiar with the girl in front of him, isn't this Park Shi-yeon, who has recently cooperated with Han Jiaren? The two played the first and second women respectively in "My Girl".
"Oh, Park Shiyeonxi, hello!" Seeing the visitor, Zheng Hyuk-jae replied lightly.
Facing Park Shi-yeon, Jung Hyuk-jae can't talk about liking or hating it. It's just that because Han Jiaren had nagged with him before, the two didn't get along very well with the crew, so when facing Park Shiyan, Jung Hyuk-jae's attitude was a little unflattering and not particularly friendly.
"Hello Zheng PD, do you know me?" Hearing that Jung Hyuk-jae directly read his name, Park Shi-yeon still had a trace of secret joy in her heart, no matter what, being able to be called by Jung Hyuk-jae and Zheng PD, knowing herself is good news, after all, who makes Jung Hyuk-jae young and famous in the TV drama circle now! As for saying that Jung Hyuk Jae's attitude was all deliberately ignored by her, maybe because she disturbed him, Park Shi-yeon didn't think much about it.
If the company's positioning for her in the Chinese market is a few years, then last year, Park Shiyan gradually shifted her focus back to China, but because she failed to lay a foundation in China, most of the roles she received when the company received the capital were supporting roles, especially the vicious second female second, or even the third female and fourth female
If you want to open up your popularity in China, if you don't have a deeply rooted character, it is absolutely impossible, so naturally Park Shiyeon's eyes are on Jung Hyuk Jae.
Because it was in the theater, after saying a few words, Park Shi-yeon took the opportunity to sit down next to Jung Hyuk-jae, so that outsiders thought that the two of them were talking very happily!
In fact, the minds of these female artists are very easy to guess, they just want to be familiar in front of their faces, and they don't dare to say anything about the heroine, even if it is the second female in Jung Hyuk-jae's play, they are very happy to take over the role, who made Jung Hyuk-jae popular so many female artists?
While chatting with Jung Hyuk-jae, Park Shi-yeon's eyes carefully looked at Jung Hyuk-jae in front of her, and her pretty eyes were full of joy and thought......
