NRG Corporate Headquarters Meeting Room!

Today is the day when the crew of NRG's upcoming second film held a press conference, and as early as three months ago, all the actors about the film had been confirmed, but it was delayed until now in order to wait for Kim Tae-hee's schedule.

The name of the new movie was finally determined to be "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", which is the same as "The Little Thing of First Love", which was popular in the Korean film and television industry before, and is a youth campus theme.

The male protagonist Kim Ha-seok is played by Lee Jun-hee, the heroine Yoo Yeon-hee is played by Kim Tae-hee, and the rest of the roles, the male protagonist Kim Ha-seok's friend foursome are, Cho Seong-joon is played by Moon Se-hoon, the fat Park Myung-hoon is played by Gagman Cho Se-ho, Lee Young-hong is played by newcomer Gagman Heo Kyung-hwan, and Heo Sung-mo is played by Haha.

Heroine Yoo Yeon-hee's best friend Kang Woo-mi is played by Yoon Eun-hye, Yoon Eun-hye is filming KBS's new drama "The Boy in the Vineyard", playing the heroine Lee Ji-hyun in the play, although it is inevitable that the schedule will be a little tight, but fortunately, Yoon Eun-hye's roles are not particularly much, mainly concentrated in the first half of the movie, this time it can be regarded as standing for the company and supporting popularity.

The main plot of this movie will focus on these seven people, and some other unimportant characters, Li Junxi also invited some good friends in the circle to help, such as the neighbor who scolded the actor in English because the actor Jin Xiashi was reading English on the balcony, and the actor scolded in English, Li Junxi invited Jiang Hudong to help make a cameo, because of menopause, he lost his temper, and the English teacher who punished Jin Xiashi made a cameo by Lee Junxi's sister Cui Zhen.

During the time of waiting for Kim Tae-hee, Lee Jun-hee also re-perfected the script, making the characters in the play more vivid, and not making people feel face-painted when watching the movie.

The male protagonist of the movie, Kim Ha-seok, is a problem student who is mischievous at school. Cynical, poor academic performance, but kind-hearted, there is such a group of friends around him, Cao Chengjun, who is very handsome, and loves to play handsome, but he is always unfortunate and frustrated in love. That's why it's nicknamed Bo. Xu Chengmo. Lee Young-hong, who wants to win with comedy but always fails, for the girl they like together, the heroine Yoo Yeon-hee, they all went straight from Jingcheng Middle School to high school, all the way to the love battle they never completed.

The heroine Yoo Yeon-hee is pure and cute, and she is the object of the crush of many boys in the class, and the boys pursue and please her in different ways, some love to be handsome, and some like to be funny. There are also love-grabbing masters, but Yoo Yeon-hee has a soft spot for Jin Xia-shi who is sitting in front of her.

Kang Woo-mi is Yoo Yeon-hee's good friend, just like in reality, on campus. Every beauty must have a mediocre-looking girlfriend as a foil, Jiang Youmei is this foil, but this foil also has great ambitions. Her ambition is to become the most successful manga artist in Korea, and at the end of the story, she does succeed.

The beginning of the story. Jin Xiashi was punished by the teacher for changing seats and sat in front of Yoo Yeon-hee, Yoo Yeon-hee didn't bring textbooks in English class, Kim Ha-seok passed his own to her, but was corporal punished by the teacher, in order to thank Kim Ha-seok, Yoo Yeon-hee helped him out of the love exam paper.

Under Yoo Yeon-hee's supervision and encouragement, Kim Ha-seok's grades are like sesame blossoms, and gradually, he falls in love with Yoo Yeon-hee, who has an elegant temperament.

But Kim Ha-seok didn't dare to confess to the girl she loved, because Yoo Yeon-hee, who was liked by almost all boys, had an aversion to the boys who pursued her, and she just wanted to study hard and didn't want others to interfere in her life.

Jin Xiashi, who has never worked hard, launched an unspoken pursuit of her, he accompanied Yoo Yeon-hee to stay in school at night, and the two studied together, made progress together, and competed with each other.

The university list was released, and Liu Yanxi was strictly out of order, and he couldn't go to the agreed university with Jin Xiashi, but on the eve of leaving his hometown, he knew his heart for himself from Jin Xiashi's gift.

When he was dating Yoo Yeon-hee at Christmas, Kim Ha-seok, who couldn't muster up the courage to confess, held a free martial arts match afterwards, and was very naïve to want to tell Yoo Yeon-hee about his own strength, but the two had a big quarrel because of it, and in the heavy rain, Kim Ha-seok painfully gave up pursuing Yoo Yeon-hee, and the relationship between friends also weakened.

Later, after being admitted to the prosecutor's office, Kim Ha-seok began to write in his spare time, aspiring to become a novelist, and the rest of his friends also had their own developments.

One day, Kim Ha-seok received a call from Yoo Yeon-hee announcing her marriage, so she brought together everyone who had been absent for a long time again.

At the wedding, the boys couldn't help but smile with blessings when they watched the girl who had been chasing each other for many years become someone else's happy bride.

Everyone has grown up and continues to pursue their own happiness.

Like the previous success of "The Little Thing of First Love", this movie also records youth, as a screenwriter, what Lee Junxi wants to express to people is that youth has not failed, and the memories of those years are poetic and picturesque now.

In Lee Jun-hee's pen, youth is an infectious disease that cannot be cured in a lifetime, even in his old age, unforgettable youth, inseparable campus love, excess male hormones, and pure female students who study hard, as a screenwriter, Lee Jun-hee wants to use the movie to create a time machine, instead of the actor Kim Ha-seok to write a love letter to youth and Yoo Yeon-hee.

It can be said that this movie continues "The Little Thing of First Love" in style, and continues to run counter to traditional Korean youth films, completely abandoning the overly strong local flavor and marginal colors of Korean youth films, and always focusing on common youth emotions.

Whether it is a hot-blooded brother or the first love of youth, what points to is the worship and praise of youth, those youthful hazy love, sentimentality and confusion, simply and directly embellished in it, there is no cruel story of swords and lights, there is a positive and healthy attitude in the small freshness, just like the heroine Yoo Yeon-hee in the script.

However, it is obviously biased to completely classify the film as "little fresh", and the actor Jin Xiashi and his friends often blurt out "foul language". Rise, four-legged, six-legged beast and class fight. Fly. machine, group watching love action movies, etc., obviously sexual. The names and scenes of color are full of them, and in youth films that have always emphasized fresh style, these standard hardcore scenes can be described as ferocious and abnormal.

However, it is precisely the confidence in the heavy taste and the rational use of it. It is only then that Lee Jun-hee's new work is free from the freshness of simple warmth and tear-jerking, which is completely what the confident Lee Jun-hee dared to do after the success of "The Little Thing of First Love".

People who have read the script are not only moved by the small freshness, but also smile at the heavy taste, the combination of the two leads to warm memories, which can easily trigger people's feelings of youth.

Between brotherly friendship and campus love. This script is obviously more focused on the latter, with clear narrative threads that effectively channel the audience's emotions to the love story of Kim Ha-seok and Yoo Yeon-hee.

Love is an eternal theme, but it is also the easiest to go to clichés, in fact, the love in the script is also composed of some cliché plots, good students and bad students will always be tied into a one-on-one mutual support group and then gradually fall in love, and bad boys will always change their tricks to please girls in a masochistic way. There are always lines like Korean kimchi dramas and scenes of fighting each other.

However, Lee Jun-hee has succeeded in turning decay into magic, turning the cliché plot into a patchwork component of the overall narrative, and the pure emotions under the lines are easy to resonate.

About this script. Basically, it can be said that it was created under the inspiration given by Kim Tae-hee, with complete freedom. In fact, whether it is the author of the script, Lee Jun-hee, or those who have read the script, it is difficult to clearly describe what campus love looks like and why it can happen.

It's like the actor Kim Ha-seok doesn't understand why he is in Yoo Yeon-hee's predicament. Give the English textbook to Yoo Yeon-hee, instead of watching her make a fool of herself in public.

For Jin Xiashi, love is to turn the original boring life into not boring, Jin Xiashi was also like an anxious cat on a hot tin roof, with a group of "color. "Friends" do some boring things to pass the boring time, and the setting of brotherhood in the film is full of the carnival-like display of boring youth, as well as wanton ridicule of school and even the rules of life.

This kind of plot is actually a bit rebellious in Korean society!

However, when people who watched this movie in the future gradually got used to the unique way of greeting boys and girls in those years, they realized that studying hard had become a very bloody thing, and the reason was that the ambiguous emotions before they were spoken.

The male protagonist in the play, Kim Ha-seok, seems to never be mature, he thinks that fighting can best show masculine charm and win the love of girls, but Yoo Yeon-hee hates his self-righteous naivety, but it is difficult to deny that Yoo Yeon-hee likes this fearless naivety.

At the end of the plot, the wedding paragraph draws the most perfect exclamation point for the youth of those years, and also makes the plot reach an emotional peak.

The male protagonist Kim Ha-seok and the female protagonist Yoo Yeon-hee did not come together like a cliché idol drama, and he did not prove his love by stretching out his feet to trip the groom.

Happy newlywed, my youth!

Lee Jun-hee used his script to tell people: It turns out that if you love a girl, you will sincerely wish her eternal happiness.

However, in the end, we still believe in beauty more, and the wishing lamp that drifts away goes to another time and space, where the written questions and answers become vows and will be together forever.

Those years, different stories, the same youth.

The director of this movie, Lee Jun-hee, still chose Park Jun-yong, who had previously worked in "The Little Thing of First Love", in fact, this is not the first time that the two sides have cooperated, and the MV of the title song "One Day at a Time" of NRG's seventh album was shot by Park Junrong.

Tong Guò "The Little Thing of First Love", Park Junrong as a director is also famous and worth doubled, originally he had more choices, but when Lee Jun-hee handed over the script of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" to Park Junrong, after he watched it once, he immediately pushed aside all the movie invitations and devoted himself to the preparation of this movie.

Although this movie is still just staying in words, Park Junrong believes that after this movie is fully filmed, success is a sure thing, and he will once again use this movie to prove the great appeal of youth love, and individualized emotional writing is like an infectious disease, although everyone is not lightly ill, but still willing to be infected.

Park Junyong is one of them.

After waiting in the conference room for a while, Li Xiaozhen pushed the door and walked in: "Director! All the invited journalists have arrived, and the press conference will begin soon! ”

When outsiders are present, Lee Hyo-jung always calls Lee Jun-hee "director" instead of "oppa". Her clear personality of public and private makes Li Junxi quite helpless.

Lee Jun-hee turned to Park Jun-yong and said, "Director Park Jun-yong, let's go over now!" ”

Lee Jun-hee serves as the producer of the film, and the NRG company is responsible for the investment of the film, but in the crew, the director's right is paramount, so Yoo Jun-hee must discuss everything with Park Jun-yong.

Of course, Park Junrong is not a person who doesn't know what to do, and Lee Jun-hee gives him face. He naturally also knows the truth that everyone carries the sedan chair.

It's like when signing the director's contract before, Lee Jun-hee proposed that he wanted to be able to serve as an assistant director during the filming, and Park Jun-yong didn't hesitate at all and immediately agreed.

Park Junrong is very self-aware, although he is now famous because of "The Little Thing of First Love", he knows very well that whoever made the previous movie had the same result. Now this movie is the same, since Lee Jun-hee wants to learn some directorial knowledge, he doesn't need to have a stiff relationship with Lee Jun-hee because of this kind of thing.

The main creator of the crew was present. The reporters at the scene also immediately cheered up, before "The Little Thing of First Love" created a miracle in the number of viewers of youth campus movies in the Korean film and television industry, and now this new movie, which also wears the hat of youth campus theme, has naturally attracted the attention of many people.

The original "The Little Thing of First Love" before the public screening. Hardly many people are optimistic, but in the end, Lee Jun-hee is a real number. A big slap in the face to everyone who dared to question that movie, can this new film continue to create a zào miracle now?

People are waiting to see and find ways to dig for more information.

As soon as the main creator of the crew sat down, and the host announced the start of the press conference, a reporter raised his hand and asked: "Mr. Lee Junxi, do you have the confidence to continue to create the myth of Korean youth campus movies with this movie?" ”

Li Junxi smiled when he heard this: "Myth? If it was so easy to create zào, it can't be called a myth! Mr. reporter, I understand what you mean, if you are referring to, can this movie surpass the previous film, all I can say is that this is a new movie, I don't need to use this movie to fight with the previous film that I also wrote the screenplay, as for the final result, please wait and see, but I believe that as long as you can really understand the meaning of youth, you will like this movie, I don't know if my answer can satisfy you? ”

The reporter was obviously a little dissatisfied with Lee Jun-hee's answer, and what he was expecting was Lee Jun-hee's "big talk" and announcing that the film would surpass the classic "The Little Thing of First Love", and only in this way could it create a news selling point.

Since Lee Jun-hee didn't say it, the reporter immediately turned to Park Junrong and asked, "Director Park Junrong, do you also think the same way?" Or, do you have the confidence to make this movie surpass "The Little Thing of First Love"? ”

In the director's profession, Park Junrong is young, but after all, he has been mixed in society for so many years, and he can't be said to be a human spirit, but at least he is clear-minded.

"I don't like the word transcendence, I don't like mythology, I'm just serious about making movies."

The reporter asked again: "Isn't director Park Junrong worried that the final result of this movie will frustrate the prestige accumulated by your previous film "The Little Thing of First Love"?" ”

Park Junrong said calmly: "I'm not worried at all, to be honest, shooting a movie with the same type of theme is a challenge for any film director, especially the success of "The Little Thing of First Love" before, but when I saw the script of this movie, all my worries and worries were dispelled, because the script was very good, after reading the script, my mind was full of the situation when I was in school, there were nostalgia and regrets, so I didn't consider the worries you said, All I want now is to do my best to make this movie and live up to such a good script, that's all! ”

Seeing that there was no way to dig up big news on this topic, the reporters immediately changed the topic, the relationship between Lee Jun-hee and Kim Tae-hee.

Previously, when filming "The Little Thing of First Love", the scandal between Lee Jun-hee and Han Jiaren was also very noisy, but the reporters didn't grasp anything, and after the movie ended, Lee Jun-hee also deliberately avoided contacting Han Jiaren.

Now, the same drama has fallen on Lee Jun-hee and Kim Tae-hee again, in fact, the relationship between the two of them is no longer just hyped by the media, even ordinary people are very concerned.

It stands to reason that the two of them, who are idols, should be strongly opposed to them if they are really found to be in love, but the strange thing is that there are many people who are calling for the two to really be together, perhaps in the eyes of those people, a pair of handsome men and beautiful women, and they are both top students of Seoul National University, if they are together, they are a real match.

For people's thoughts, Li Junxi could only smile helplessly.

"This question doesn't seem to have anything to do with the movie, today is the press conference of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", please focus your attention on the movie, thank you!" (To be continued......)
