298. Learning and catching up
As everyone's cooperation becomes more and more tacit, the shooting efficiency of the crew is also constantly improving, and among the three leading actors, due to the advantages of Lee Junhyuk's own conditions, all his action scenes are always the first to end.
But even so, he didn't stay idle, because after his scene ended, sitting next to the director and starting to learn the acting skills of Lee Byung-hun and Song Kang-ho became one of the things he had to do every day.
After being completely integrated into the crew, some of Lee Jun-hyuk's prejudices against so-called commercial films also disappeared as the filming progressed.
Indeed, compared with the drama films like "Chaser", which could be used for hurricane acting before, commercial-based action movies are worse in terms of plot and lines, but this is not to say that commercial films are a film that can be played well by finding a big-name star to casually come out and do action.
After personal experience, Lee Jun-hyuk found that compared with dramas that are desperately trying to set off their acting skills, both the plot and the atmosphere of the film are to set off their acting skills, in fact, these commercial films have higher requirements for actors.
It sounds incredible, but in reality, it's true. In a feature film, as long as the actor whose acting skills are passable, in the atmosphere that the entire crew does their best, they can perform very well, and if the director's skills are stronger, he can even give the audience in front of the screen a feeling of "Wow, his acting skills are so good". But in this kind of action blockbuster, whether an actor can play a role alive depends on the actor's own ability. Because whether it is the director or the crew, most of their minds will be on those big scenes. There are no delicate lines and complexes. There is no deliberate atmosphere either. So for the interpretation of the characters, everything has to be done by the actors themselves.
Like Lee Jun-ho's "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Strange Guys", because the whole film is run through action scenes and big scenes, there are very few places that can be left for actors to show their acting skills to show the character's own personality, so Lee Jun-hyuk must show the character's character through the processing of all the action details, which is undoubtedly a new challenge for him.
Fortunately, this filming was attended by two top Korean actors, and he was given a very, very vivid acting lesson. Lee Jun Hyuk was able to learn this new skill in a limited amount of time.
Lee Jun-hyuk's rapid progress has put a lot of pressure on Lee Byung-hun and Song Kang-ho at the same time. Although in the action scenes, the pictures they shot are not bad at all, but compared to Lee Junhyuk's understatement, the two of them are much worse, and Lee Byung-hun is even better, because of Lee Junhyuk's previous training, but Song Kang-ho is a little unbearable, after all, compared to the other two, he is the worst in terms of physical fitness.
In the early days when Lee Jun Hyuk joined the crew. Although the two of them have some envy for Lee Jun-hyuk's excellent athletic ability, they have no pressure. Because compared to skillful movements. Lee Jun-hyuk still looks very immature in the handling of details. But as the filming of the scene deepened day by day, Lee Jun-hyuk was able to handle the details very well unconsciously, which was a bit shocking for the two of them. You must know that whether it is Song Kang-ho or Lee Byung-hun, it has taken a long time of study and exercise to make these details perfect, and Lee Jun-hyuk, although he still shows his immature side from time to time, but judging from the shooting effect, he has also begun to consciously make all the details perfect.
In the action scenes, because of physical factors, the two stars were surpassed and it was nothing, but with Lee Jun-hyuk's obvious progress in handling many details, the two of them could not sit still.
After all, whether it is Song Kang-ho or Lee Byung-hun, they are now carrying the title of "first", Song Kang-ho is the first powerful actor in South Korea, this title is well-deserved, even Lee Byung-hun has no way to compare with him in this regard.
And Lee Byung-hun is now the number one star in South Korea, far ahead of all other actors in popularity, not to mention the fact that even if he has acting skills, he will not be worse than Song Kang-ho, but he has not won all the film awards, so he will be compared by Song Kang-ho in acting.
is such two people who are standing at the top, but now they are going to be caught up by a kid who has just debuted in a play, which is really intolerable to them.
Coincidentally, the two major actors, who originally only used 8 points of strength, also began to make every effort to play under the stimulation of Lee Jun-hyuk. And Lee Jun-hyuk, after seeing the super performances of the two major actors, he started a new round of learning and catching up.
Under such circumstances, all the scenes in Dunhuang exceeded Jin Zhiyun's expectations, and it took only 41 days to complete the filming. All that's left is post-processing in the studio, but that's all that happens after returning to Korea.
"Ah, it's been a long time since I've had such a new person put so much pressure on me. It's really old. On the way to Dunhuang Airport, Song Kanghao looked at Li Junhe, who was sleeping in the back row, and said with a sigh. In fact, it is said that it is pressure, but Song Kanghao is exaggerating. However, the speed of progress shown by Lee Jun-hyuk did give him a lot of shock.
"Yes, if there is another month, I guess we can learn all this little bit for him. It's terrifying to think of the unfinished look he had after the director announced the end. Hearing Song Kanghao's words, Li Bingxian nodded in agreement.
"It's the first time I've seen such a smart guy, and after reading a lot of things, I can take them the next day and use them myself." Song Kang-ho remembered the way Lee Jun-hyuk showed every day, and continued to sigh.
"It's better to say it's smart, it's better to say it's hard work, I've known him for 5 years, and I still have some understanding of his habits, although he is very low-key in front of people, but behind the scenes, it should have paid a lot of hard work. His agent came to me the other day and asked me to persuade the kid, saying that the kid only slept an average of about two hours a day after arriving here. It's really hard to say. Hearing Song Kang-ho's exclamation, Lee Byung-hun explained with a smile.
"Two hours a day, it's nice to be young. I think I had that kind of time at the beginning, but now, there are too few young people who work so hard, and the few so-called powerful new stars I have worked with before are just staying on the surface of idol, but they are still very confident in their acting skills, which is really disappointing. Bingxian, you have signed a baby this time, maybe in a few years, there will be a young man in your company who stands in the same class as us. After listening to Lee Byung-hun's words, Song Kang-ho's senses for Lee Jun-hyuk were better.
"I hope so, in fact, this kid also has all kinds of problems, you don't know what to do, he has always wanted to be an actor like you, but he has no fans, but his strength and box office appeal are high, this kind of big star, as for the reason, he feels that his popularity is too high and too troublesome. Sometimes, I'm helpless to take this kid. Although Li Bingxian felt very useful for Song Kanghao's praise, he was like a parent, but he still modestly said that everything else was not.
"There's nothing wrong with having a little personality, especially with such a low-key personality to him, it's better than those actors who are a little famous and don't know how much they don't know how much." Hearing Li Bingxian's words, Song Kanghao said disapprerovitically.
"It's also said that in this circle, the most difficult thing is not to be famous, but to be able to grasp yourself after becoming famous, in this regard, this kid is undoubtedly the best one among his age......" (to be continued......)
