Chapter 183: Power on

On July 3, the MV for Kim Jong Kook's "If I Love You" starring Yoon Eun-hye premiered. Unsurprisingly, the MV attracted heated discussions from all parties as soon as it was released, and the rumored couple who became popular in "X-Man" in 2005, although after a period of cold treatment between the two parties, during which Yoon Eun-hye successfully transformed into an actor, Kim Jong Kook chose to serve in the military.

But obviously, the enthusiasm of the media and fans was not extinguished, and the MV was topped with naver hot search topics on the day it was released, and it occupied the top three positions in a short period of time, and its popularity was unmatched for a while. Especially when the male protagonist in the MV was discovered and speculated by sharp-eyed fans, it was likely that Kim Jong Kook, who was really on vacation to visit the class at that time, and the news about the relationship between the two on the Internet kept popping up.

Although, there are also a lot of dissatisfaction and anger against Kim Jong Kook for participating in the MV shooting during his military service, and Jung Woo Sung's unexpected appearance at the end, but obviously under the director's ingenious shooting method of only shooting the back, as well as the enthusiasm of the fans, it was covered up by the overwhelming pink stickers at all.

On the same day, the crew of "Never Regret" completed the opening ceremony of the movie in a remote bar in Cheongdam-dong in a low-key manner. For a low-budget independent film with a cost of only 100 million won (about 600,000 yuan), the opening ceremony of "Never Regret" is naturally impossible to complete the overwhelming pre-film publicity and press conference before filming has even started, like those films with large investments and big productions.

In fact, as a low-investment and marginal same-sex movie, Lee Song Hee-il, who started filming as a director, never expected to succeed, and was even ready to fail. All he wants to do is make the movie he wants.

Even, to put it mildly, the reason why Lee Song Hee-il chose Jung Woo-sung as the leading actor of the movie in the end was not only moved by his acting skills and feelings, but also the cheapness of the movie's salary also accounted for some influence. Because of this, he can put more money into the filming of the film.

This is the current state of independent films.

……

As the first scene of the movie "Never Regret", director Lee Song Hee-il deliberately chose the scene where Jae-min, who was drinking in a bar, called So-min, who was working as a part-time substitute driver, and the two met for the first time. is also used to help Lee Young-hoon, the actor of Jung Woo-sung and so-min, who met for the first time, to enter the role.

In the bar, melodious and faintly sad blues echoed in the dim light, and there were no customers at the bar, except for the sound of the bartender wiping his glasses and the sound of the man in front of the bar putting down his glass and colliding with the countertop.

Zheng Yucheng sat alone in front of the bar, looking sideways at a certain place in the bar, and when he turned around and saw the bartender re-pouring the wine for him, he immediately nodded and said in a deep voice, "Kangsang Mida~"

“Cut!”

Here, Zheng Yucheng didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his acting, but Li Song Xiri didn't think so, he looked at the picture in the monitor, and leaned out and swept over Zheng Yucheng who was sitting at the bar. He shouted softly, nodded and shook his head, pondered for a while, and then stood up and walked to Zheng Yucheng's side, pointing to the wine glass and saying, "Drink half of it." ”

"Inside." Although he didn't know the director's purpose, Zheng Yucheng still nodded and drank half of the wine glass. The wine glass was poured with real wine, and Zheng Yucheng, who was not low and spicy, had a little pain in his throat, but he still tried to endure it.

However, this is not the end, looking at Zheng Yucheng drinking half of the wine glass, Li Song Xiri turned around and took a cigarette from the prop, lit it and sent it to him, still without any explanation, "Take a sip." ”

"Whew~" took the cigarette, Zheng Yucheng took a small puff as required.

"Remember that feeling." Nodding, Li Song Xiri took a second look at Zheng Yucheng's appearance at the bar at the moment, and dropped such a sentence. He went straight back to the camera's monitor and shouted, "Never Regret, Scene 1, Shot, Action!" ”

Although he didn't seem to understand, but when he heard the director shouting there to start filming again, Zheng Yucheng still followed the feeling he said and started his own scene.

Regarding the character of Jaemin, he is not simply gay, he was born with a golden spoon and his fiancée and the family business that he can inherit, but although life has everything for him, it is not planned by his will, which makes him feel very painful.

This pain is repeated in the plot of the subsequent script. In order to understand the character attributes of Zaimin in the play, Zheng Yucheng has been studying the script half a month before the performance was confirmed, and according to the habits inherited from "Mr. Goodbye", he has been constantly designing the character's heart and details.

In the script, one night, so Min is hired to drive for Jae Min after drinking, and the two lonely people meet for the first time, although it is only a short journey, but they are deeply impressed by each other, and their hearts begin to shake inexplicably. It was from this scene that Jae-min began to gradually move closer to the same sex from the bisexual who had a fiancée before.

But more parts can be seen from the follow-up plot. For the audience watching the movie, they may enter the plot from the meeting, but for the actors, they start to figure out the characters on the premise that they already know all the plots.

The role of Zaimin is actually not too special, if it is placed in other film and television works, the rich son who is uneasy about the status quo will always encounter the love he wants, but changing this situation to "Never Regret" seems very special, because when love is replaced with the shackles of gender, anyone will feel extremely heavy.

In order to conform to the image of Zaimin in the play, in fact, Zheng Yucheng's semi-long hair is somewhat abrupt, and he was ready to cut it off before filming. But after watching it, director Lee Song Hee-il thought that because of this long hair, the resistance of the Jae-min and the vague same-sex appeal were shown from a small place.

Therefore, fortunately, his hair was not cut off but dyed back to black, and he changed the jumping image on the variety show with the old-fashioned makeup that looked a lot deeper. According to the description in the script, Jae Min's actual age is much older than Zheng Yucheng, and the whole person looks more mature and capable, so in order to match his age, the stylist designed his hairstyle into a side bangs that expose his forehead, and the weighted eyebrows and Zheng Yu became the cyan slag deliberately left by the character, and he suddenly aged a lot in the shot.
