Chapter 411: Salang Hi Yo
On November 13, 2008, after four months from filming to editing to release, Zheng Yucheng's first non-independent film "Western Antique Fruit Shop" chose a low-key day like the 13th to hold a simple premiere and announce the official release of the film.
As a remake of a low-budget healing movie, "Western Antique Fruit Shop" is very self-aware to give up the competition for the New Year at the end of the year, but to focus on the relatively off-season November as the release time, the previous summer boom has ended, and the Korean local films released at the same time are only the costume ******** movie "Beauty Picture" directed by Jeon Yunxiu and starring Kim Gyu-ri, Kim Nam-gil, Kim Young-ho, and Choo Ja Hyun, which also chose to be released on the 13th, and a low-cost IPTV movie " The Story of Wine.
At the same time, the comedy movie "Rapid Scandal" shot by Cha Tae-hyun and Park Bo-young, who had filmed CF with Jung Woo-sung, was cleverly released later, Cha Tae-hyun's movies have maintained a good reputation in recent years, so instead of being so unwise to take the egg of "Western Antique Fruit Shop" to crash into it, it is better to avoid it so as not to lose both.
On November 13th, at the press conference for the premiere of "Western Antique Fruit Shop" at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, it was crowded with reporters from the beginning, holding various spears and cannons in their hands.
After all, although "Western Antique Fruit Shop" is not a big investment, a big movie with a big scene, but its starring lineup is definitely very topical, Zheng Yucheng's first official film since independent films, Zheng Yucheng and Kim Chae-wook have collaborated again since "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop", whether Zheng Yucheng, as the highest-grossing independent film actor, can also make achievements in the mainstream film industry.
Because of this, although "Western Antique Foreign Fruit Shop" did not carry out much publicity, but. The attention and enthusiasm of media reporters for movies have not retreated.
"I want to ask Zheng Yucheng xi, what is it like to appear in "Western Antique Fruit Shop"?" At the press conference of the film, Min Kuidong, as the director, completely became a role with a general background in the movie, and the reporter's attention to him as a director was obviously lower than that of Zheng Yucheng, the leading actor, and most of the questions on the scene revolved around Zheng Yucheng as the starring role. Of course, director Min Kuidong is also happy to do this, after all, the more attention the leading actor gets, it also means that the movie gets more attention, and he can't wait for this.
In the face of reporters' questions, Zheng Yucheng performed with ease, "I feel very happy, and I am also very grateful to Jin Caiyu." Liu Yaren, Choi Ji-ho and other excellent actors starred in the movie together, and at the same time thanked Director Min Kuidong for inviting me to give me the opportunity to star in the movie...... "Because the movie "Western Antique Fruit Shop" has been completed, Zheng Yucheng also shaved off the two mustaches he had before, and it looks a little different from the mature temperament in the movie promotional poster.
"So, what kind of reason does Kim Jae-woo Xi have, and what do you want to say about starring in the movie with Jung Woo Sung-xi?" After asking several questions in a row, Zheng Yucheng answered them perfectly. The reporter, who was unwilling to accept the status quo, immediately changed his conversation and began to ask questions to Jin Caiyu next to him.
But apparently, the journalist's wish was disappointed, although there was some surprise at the reporter's sudden inquiry. But Jin Caiyu still reacted quickly, and replied that there was naturally nothing to miss, "I am very happy to be able to star in the movie "Western Antique Fruit Shop" with Zheng Yucheng, although it is the second time to work together. But I feel that this time the film shooting has made the relationship between the two closer. When I was filming before, I often asked Jung Woo-sung for acting skills for same-sex characters in movies, which helped me a lot. Talking eloquently, Zheng Yucheng helped him during the filming. After that, Jin Caiyu did not forget to joke, "Of course, I also hope that the movie can be a box office hit like all of Zheng Yucheng's works." ”
"Haha~" There was laughter at the press conference, and Zheng Yucheng in front of the camera also showed a helpless expression. Indeed, as Zheng Yucheng, who has a good reputation in variety shows and TV series, his first mainstream film since shooting an independent film, was naturally targeted by a large number of media at the box office, to see whether Zheng Yucheng, who entered the mainstream film industry, continued to maintain the "highest-grossing" reputation and rose steadily, or became a box office poison and suffered Waterloo.
……
After the premiere press conference of the film ended according to the custom, it was time for the official release of the movie to judge, as the main creators of the movie, Jung Woo-sung Kim Jae-wook, Yoo Ah-in, Choi Ji-ho and director Min Kyu-dong and his party were naturally arranged to the position of the movie ticket facing the big screen in the cinema. In fact, for anyone who has watched the movie, everyone knows that the seats for watching the movie are actually not as far forward as possible, the really good position is the seat in the middle of the cinema, and the seats in front of the movie are too dazzling in terms of sound and light effects, because after the movie is over, they still go up for the final conclusion, so Zheng Yucheng and they have to sit there.
With the start of the movie, the sound of the whole movie theater gradually became smaller, and the attention of the audience slowly shifted from the leading actor in the front row to the screen, Zheng Yucheng quietly turned his head to look at the number of people in the theater in the dim movie theater, and through the dim light of the movie projector, he could vaguely see the dense figure behind him.
Although it is not a holiday or a holiday, the movie "Western Antique Sweets" in this theater in Seoul still has a good attendance rate of 76 percent, and the movie theaters in other regions such as Busan have more than half of the attendance rate of more than 60 percent.
Don't underestimate this attendance rate doesn't seem to be very good, for a small genre movie like "Western Antique Fruit Shop" that has not been produced and promoted much, it is already a very good result. From here, it is enough to see the popularity of Zheng Yucheng as the leading actor, in fact, the reason why the movie premiere maintained such a good attendance rate is that Zheng Yucheng's popularity and his previous efforts to promote himself through his variety show are also indispensable.
"Miane, I can't go to the press conference to cheer up, I wish the new movie a big deal, FIGHTING! …… Finally, Hi Salang~"
"Why, Yucheng, what is it that makes you laugh so happily?" Noticing Zheng Yucheng's expression beside him, Jin Caiyu suddenly asked with some curiosity.
"Nothing." Shaking his head and putting away the mobile phone in his hand again, Zheng Yucheng put his eyes on the big movie screen in front of him, but the corners of his mouth were naturally filled with a smile that could not be concealed.
