Chapter 402: A Brilliant Supporting Character
"Western Antique Fruit Shop" is a remake adapted from a Japanese manga artist, however, there are still many changes to the plot compared to the Japanese version of the TV series. On the premise of retaining the original work's unconventional same-sex love plot, director Min Kyu-dong focused on the film's self-redemption and healing of Kim Jin-hyuk, the cake shop manager played by Jung Woo-sung.
It focuses on the healing process of the people in the cake and the cake shop, rather than using the outrageous homosexuality as the main thread that advances the plot of the film.
This is also the reason why Zheng Yucheng still took over the role on the premise of knowing that "Western Antique Foreign Fruit Shop" still has a same-sex plot. Of course, this also has a lot to do with the fact that Kim Jin-hyuk, the cake shop manager who invited him to play, is not a same-sex character, after all, the actor who plays the demon gay is Kim Jae-woo, and this brother is not himself, so what is there to scruple about.
Although the movie "Western Antique Fruit Shop" revolves around the storyline of Kim Jin-hyuk and other four people played by Jung Woo-sung, as a film with light comedy as the main tone, the crew's choice of various supporting roles also seems to be attentive.
Whether it is Ko Chang-seok, who has a beard and a round body, but plays the same-sex boss in the Gay bar nightclub, or the spicy fat female customer who is picky about the cake as a guest of the cake shop later, the special design of the production team in the supporting role is vividly displayed.
Even, halfway through the filming of the movie, every time Zheng Yucheng recalls playing against Gao Changxi's predecessors in a nightclub, the other party obviously has a beard, but he is wearing a gorgeous shirt with a sense of gay, and he can't help but feel a shiver and an urge to laugh when he plays against himself in a girlish tone.
In that scene, the impact of the scene was not covered at all. Even Zheng Yucheng felt that if this senior starred in a variety show, he would definitely be full of joy. I have to say that although there is a trend of getting longer and longer on the road of acting, Zheng Yucheng is still deeply influenced by Gagman's habits in his bones.
At every turn, I want to lead people to variety shows.
Of course, having said all this, in the end, I still have to talk about the issue of supporting roles in movies. As mentioned earlier, as a light comedy, although director Min Kyudong himself added a little suspenseful plot to the second half of the movie, but overall, "Western Antique Fruit Shop" is still a story about the hero Kim Jin-hyuk fighting against the shadow of his childhood until the end of the movie to complete self-healing.
At the beginning, when Zheng Yucheng read the script, he knew that a movie like "Western Antique Fruit Shop" was destined to become a popular movie theme, because it was not a big-budget movie, and second, it was not a mainstream love movie. And director Min Kuidong obviously has no intention of making it into these popular movies.
And when he was studying the script before, Zheng Yucheng also noticed it. Among the many supporting roles in the movie, the role of a high school girl who cares about the cake shop for a long time gives him a sense of déjà vu. In addition, because the relationship between the roles is not too important, it has not been decided, so he immediately recommended the idea of a guest appearance to a member of Girls' Generation who is familiar with him to Director Min Kyudong.
After all, if you really want to talk about it, the members of Girls' Generation are themselves young and beautiful flower girls, and they are also real high school girls, and playing the role of a female high school student in the movie is also a true performance, and it doesn't need too advanced acting skills.
Of course. Zheng Yucheng's recommendation is just a casual suggestion. didn't expect Director Min Kuidong to really accept it seriously, and finally agreed to his suggestion.
……
"Children," came to the filming site of "Western Antique Fruit Shop", and the agent of Girls' Generation paid great attention to Sam Taeyeon, Yuna and Jessica behind him, although now Girls' Generation has experienced the downturn of the Black Sea in the initial period. The popularity has gradually rebounded slightly, but in the face of the invitation to this movie, S.M still showed enough attention, "When you meet the director later, you must be polite, have you memorized the script of the movie?" ”
"Already remembered. OPPA。 Hearing the agent's advice, Taeyeon, as the team leader, naturally nodded in agreement, and at the same time glanced at the busy movie crew around her with a slightly nervous look. In particular, in order to fully reproduce the original scene, the crew spent a month in finding a very suitable alley in Seoul to produce the completed exterior set.
and the interior set full of high-priced antique furniture and accessories in the style of the original manga. The already nervous look is even more at a loss, of course, not to mention the squad leader Taeyeon, even if he has experience in filming TV dramas, and recently because Yuna, who played the heroine Sebi in the Japanese drama "You Are My Destiny", can't help but show a little nervousness in this atmosphere.
After all, compared with TV series, movies are more refined and rigorous in terms of scene layout and overall shooting atmosphere. Take the highlight cake of "Western Antique Fruit Shop" as an example, in this film, it is no longer a simple prop, but about the emotional line of the characters and the development of the story.
Therefore, in order to achieve excellence, the production team designed more than 100 kinds of cakes after a long time of preparation in the early stage of film shooting, and the filming set specially invited a team of professional cake chefs to make cakes on site. The cake making scene is not only a visual enjoyment, but has been sublimated to an aesthetic enjoyment.
Based on this, feeling this tense and orderly shooting atmosphere on the set naturally made Taeyeon and others, who were just newcomers, nervous. After all, in addition to Yun'er, the three people present have some experience in TV series shooting, and the others have the most contact with the shooting sites of MVs and variety shows.
Obviously, this completely different shooting atmosphere made even Jessica, who has always been known for her image as an ice princess, nervous. Especially thinking about the upcoming official shooting, which made the three of them a little worried, including Taeyeon.
