"Han Chaeyoung is getting married, are you going?" Hee-sung leaned against the door of the apartment and shook the invitation in his hand to Cha Tae-hyun, who had come out to take out the garbage.

"No, I'm not very familiar," Cha Tae-hyun shook his head, "I made an appointment with the doctor, and I will take your sister Xien to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow." ”

"To the hospital?" Hee-sung was startled and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Sister Xien?" ”

Downstairs to decorate, he has been living at home for more than a month, and he doesn't know what's going on.

"Hehe," Cha Tae-hyun smirked, "I'm about to be a father." ”

Xicheng was stunned for a long time before he understood what it meant to be a father, and said in surprise: "That's really congratulations, when did it happen?" ”

"It's been more than two months," Cha Tae-hyun said with happiness on his face.

"Ah, there has been a renovation downstairs recently, has it affected you," Xicheng suddenly remembered this, and his heart was suddenly full of guilt.

"It's okay," Cha Tae-hyun said gratefully, "Yuna Xi has already instructed them, only a few hours of construction during the day, and there is no problem at all." ”

The decoration is just more than a month, and the construction time is relatively short.

"Really, she didn't tell me either," Hee Sung grumbled, "I'm going to buy something delicious and go to your side to celebrate." ”

"I'm the one in charge of the kitchen now," Cha Tae-hyun laughed maliciously. His wife is pregnant, and he is reluctant to let her cook.

"Don't worry, I'm a chef now," Hee Sung said very smugly, "Wait a minute, let Sister Xien taste my craft, she has always cooked food for me." ”

Hee-sung and Cha Tae-hyun have a very close relationship and are genuinely happy for their soon-to-be-born baby.

On June 8, 2007, the 44th Korean Film Daejong Awards Ceremony was held at the Sejong Cultural Center in Seoul, South Korea.

Hee-sung was invited to participate, but he really didn't have anything to do with the awards.

"Monster of the Han River" won Best Director and Best Editing, while "The Trouble of a Beauty" won Kim Ah-jung Best Actress and Best Korean Popularity, as well as Best Cinematography and Best Score.

Both films produced by Hades have received good results.

This year's Big Bell Award. The main award for Best Picture was taken away by "The Birth of a Family".

With an investment of only 2 billion won, this work has repeatedly paid off at award ceremonies.

To be honest, seeing others on stage one by one to win awards, Hee Sung wants to say that he doesn't have any ideas, it is definitely a lie, he also wants to go on stage to win important awards, and he also wants his acting skills to be recognized by the big screen.

For Korean artists, funny artists are not as good as singers, singers are not as good as actors, and actors are subdivided into big screen and small screen actors. There is no doubt that big-screen actors are the ones with the highest status.

However, it's not so easy to compete for dominance on the big screen.

Looking at the current Korean film industry, Ahn Sung-ki was born in 1952, Moon Sung-geun was born in 1953, Choi Min-sik was born in 1962, Han Seok-gyu was born in 1964, Cho Jae-hyun was born in 1965, and Song Kang-ho was born in 1967. Xue Jingqiu was born in 1968, Zheng Jae-yong was born in 1970, Zhang Dongjian was born in 1972, and Zheng Yucheng was born in 1973......

There is no place for young actors on the big screen.

"Hee-sung. This is director Kim Ji-hoon," Bong Joon-ho pointed to a middle-aged man with long hair as soon as the award ceremony ended, introducing him to Hee-sung.

"Hello Senpai. It's a pleasure to see you," Hee Sung didn't know why, still bowing politely.

In such public places. Under normal circumstances, Bong Joon-ho and Hee-sung will not deliberately greet each other, which is not in line with Hee-sung's consistent low-key principle.

"Hee-sung," Kim Ji-hoon grabbed Hee-sung's hand and said with a bitter face, "You must help me this time." ”

Is it because he wants to invest himself, Hee Sung frowned, to be honest, he really doesn't have much money to invest in movies now, and almost all of his idle funds are invested in robbing the subprime mortgage crisis.

I didn't even have the money to buy an apartment for myself.

"If there's anything I can do to help, please just say," Hee-sung replied vaguely, "If I can, I won't refuse." ”

After all, it was Bong Joon-ho who brought him, and the least attitude he had to have was to do his best.

"I'm making a movie right now," Kim Ji-hoon was overjoyed, explaining, "There is a role that was originally finalized for Lee Joon-gi to play, but after he finished "First Snow", he needed to focus on filming the TV series "Time for the Dog and the Wolf", so he didn't have a strong desire to play ......"

"What do you mean?" Hearing that he didn't want to invest by himself, Hee Sung breathed a sigh of relief, if Bong Joon-ho came to ask for investment, he really couldn't simply refuse.

"I hope you can play this role," Kim Ji-hoon said earnestly, "I believe that with your popularity, you will be able to bring a better future to the movie." ”

If Hee Sung really takes over this movie, then it will basically be a big-screen debut, which is very important for Korean artists, and they will definitely star with the greatest enthusiasm.

Not to mention, as long as Xicheng's fans go to the cinema to watch it, at least it can increase the box office revenue of hundreds of thousands for the movie.

National director Lin Quanze's 100th work "Millennium Crane", since its release on April 12, 2007, the audience's response has been quite lukewarm, and the cumulative number of moviegoers nationwide has only exceeded 90,000 in two weeks.

"Hee-sung, if you can, you might as well take this movie as a workout," Bong Joon-ho is more able to grasp Hee-sung's psychological weaknesses, knowing that he doesn't like that little salary, but he will never ignore any rare and valuable exercise opportunity, thinking that in order to exercise his acting skills, Hee-sung was even willing to play a little dragon in "Hanjiang Monster" that only appeared for a few minutes.

"When is the film going to be released?" Hee Sung is indeed a little tempted.

From the perspective of investment, Korean films can't make much money at all, and the money he makes by investing in a "Juno" is as good as the three blockbuster films "Monster of the Han River", "The King's Man", and "The Ugly Girl's Turnover".

But if he has the opportunity to participate in the movie, as long as the role is suitable, he doesn't mind trying it.

"I'm going to release it at the end of July, and now it's already filming," Kim Ji-hoon said hesitantly: "The role of this role may be a little light, but I still hope that Hee-sung you can think about it carefully." ”

"I'm busy right now," Hee Sung said with a lot of embarrassment, "and my TV series will start filming next week." I don't know if I can take care of both sides in time. ”

At the beginning of the year, the TV series and the album were done together, and he wanted to go crazy when he was busy.

If you play movies and TV series together, it probably won't feel much better, and that kind of feeling is that after trying it once, you don't want to try it again.

"Boy, you don't shoot commercials, and I haven't heard that you're rushing to make announcements recently, so what's not to do both," Bong Joon-ho spoke to help Kim Ji-hoon. "This role is not heavy, and it only takes ten minutes of footage together, and it will be filmed in ten days, so I can't delay you for any time, besides, it's not good to fight hard at a young age, and you have to wait for your life to play when you're old."

Kim Ji-hoon only heard that Bong Joon-ho and Hee-sung knew each other, so he asked him to talk about things in the middle, but he didn't expect them to be so familiar with each other. It's so straightforward.

Didn't Hee Sung just show his face in "Monster of the Han River", how could he be so familiar with Bong Joon-ho, a national-level director.

However, then again, Bong Joon-ho is certainly powerful. is one of the best figures in the directing industry, but Hee Sung is not a soft persimmon, not to mention his wide connections, and the value of the small screen is also increasing day by day. Not to mention the extraordinary achievements of his own profession - the world of music.

"Don't say it, can't I take it?" Hee-sung grabbed the hair on his ears helplessly, regardless of whether he heard it or not. He knew that Bong Joon-ho was right.

If you don't fight, if you want to make a name for yourself in the Korean film industry, it is impossible to do it for more than ten or twenty years.

Don't look at Lee Jun-gi's role in the second-highest movie in the box office list of South Korea, in the circle of big-screen actors, he is not even second-rate, and many actors who are not well-known but have the right qualifications are more respected than him.

The work is done, the reputation is there, and the status naturally rises.

"It's like saying, if you want to be an actor, you have to lean on the big screen," Bong Joon-ho patted Hee-sung on the shoulder, looking very pleased.

"Yes, yes," Kim Zhixun cooperated very well, "When an actor becomes famous, he will act in a movie, and a director will want to make a movie when he is famous, and this movie is a hurdle in life." ”

"Hehe, what the two of you said is very right, I can be regarded as taught," Xicheng bowed slightly, "Then please ask Senior Jin, if there is something that is not done well in the future, I hope to give me more advice." ”

Subsequently, Kim Ji-hoon began to discuss the book with Hee-sung again.

The film mainly recreates the democratization movement in South Korea in the 80s, especially the popular protests in Gwangju on May 18, 1980.

Those blood shadows remain in the memory of Koreans to this day. Some people who have experienced the turmoil may still be entangled and struggling with this history in nightmares, and it is difficult to escape the self-blame of their hearts.

In the 80s, when director Kim Ji-hoon was a young man, he heard rumors about the "bad elements" and "thugs" in Gwangju, and at first, like other people who did not know the whole story, he was very disgusted with these people who "fought for democracy".

His wish is to bring the bloody conflict between the martial law army and the citizen army from May 18 to 27, 1980 on the screen through the magic of light and shadow, re-examine and objectively evaluate it from a holistic perspective, and complete this historical narrative full of rupture and tragedy in another way.

"Zhenyu can only be regarded as a supporting role, and the requirements for acting skills are not very high," Kim Zhixun said very frankly: "But with your small screen appearance, you still need to further strengthen your acting skills." ”

The implication is that your acting skills are not good, and there is still a distance from my requirements.

Hearing this, instead of getting angry, Hee-sung felt that he had not made a wrong decision.

He is willing to accept this role, saying that he wants to mix qualifications, and it is still very early, mainly because he hopes to improve in his acting skills.

Acting skills are related to a person's knowledge, experience, and even personality, but these things are either fixed, or they cannot be changed in a short period of time.

The best way to learn is to combine theory with practice, and this role is an opportunity for him to practice.

On June 8, Hee Sung accepted the invitation of the movie "Gorgeous Holiday" to play the younger brother of the male lead, with a salary of only a symbolic 10,000 won.

Through this play, he hopes that he can get a certain amount of public recognition.

On June 10, the crew of "Secret Garden" set up a studio, and the TV series officially started filming.

Hee Cheng invested 8 billion won in this TV series and personally starred as the male lead.
