The scene of the press conference.

Ten o'clock in the morning.

Lee Seung-woo led Lee Jung-jae and Son Ye-jin and others to the center of the stage, Lee Seung-woo stood in the middle, Lee Jung-jae and Son Ye-jin stood on his left and right, then Kim Eui-seong and Ma Dong-seok, and Kong Seung-yeon and Choi Woo-sik on the very edge.

In terms of the selection of actors, except for a very few actors, Lee Seung-woo did not bother to select some supporting roles one by one, and directly chose the original actors to play.

The reason is simple and hassle-free.

After a few people came on stage, they first made time for reporters to take pictures, and after a burst of 'click' flash, the host briefly introduced the process of the press conference, and then began to let several creators introduce themselves.

As the director of the movie, Lee Seung-woo is definitely the first.

Smiling, Lee Seung-woo bowed slightly, and spoke first: "Hello everyone, I'm Lee Seung-woo, and I'm the director of this movie "Train to Busan". First of all, thank you all for attending this press conference, this is my fourth film, and it is also the one I have been preparing for the longest time, and I hope you can support it a lot. ”

After Lee Seung-woo, Lee Jung-jae and others also took turns to introduce themselves one by one, and then there was a question session from the media.

As soon as he entered the question session, the reporter immediately began to speak enthusiastically.

"Director Lee Seung-woo, you just said that this is the movie you have been preparing for the longest time and you value very much, what kind of movie is this movie? How long have you been preparing? ”

Lee Seung-woo glanced at the reporter who asked the question and said with a smile: "If this journalist friend has seen my first movie, he should know that my first film is about a crew shooting a short film about zombies in an abandoned factory." In fact, this "Train to Busan" is also a zombie movie, and the script can be said to have had an idea before I made my first movie. ”

Smiling, Lee Seung-woo said again: "It's just that everyone knows that two years ago I was a fledgling and unknown rookie director, Of course, I am still a rookie director now." But with my fame and ability at that time, if I wanted to make a real zombie movie, investment alone was a big problem. And this movie can be regarded as fulfilling my dream at the beginning of my directorship, which is to make a real zombie movie.

So this movie can be said to have been in preparation since two years ago. ”

"So this movie is a disaster-type zombie movie, so may I ask Director Lee Seung-woo, what is the difference between your zombie film and the same type of zombie films abroad?"

"Well...... this"

Lee Seung-woo smiled: "After the movie is released, everyone will know." For now, forgive me for leaving a little suspense and a little mystery. ”

Seeing that Lee Seung-woo was reluctant to say more, the reporters also understood.

After all, if the highlights of the movie are said now, then the audience will not have much sense of expectation.

Thereupon.

The reporters skipped Lee Seung-woo and began to ask questions to the other main creators.

"Lee Jung-jae, as far as I know, this is your first collaboration with director Lee Seung-woo, what are the reasons why you decided to star in this movie?"

"The first is definitely trust."

Lee Jung-jae said with a smile: "I have carefully watched several works directed by Lee Seung-woo, whether it is the first part of "Don't Stop the Camera" or "The Unspeakable Secret" released a few months ago, every work directed by Lee Seung-woo is full of creativity and the script is also very good. The same is true for this "Train to Busan". In terms of script writing, director Lee Seung-woo's ability is well known, and I don't think I need to introduce this to you more.

And secondly, of course, it's trust.

I don't think anyone who is an actor can turn down a director who can be a great success in every work, and I really like the characters in this script. I also believe that when the film is completed and released, it will definitely bring a hearty viewing experience to the audience. ”

"As far as I know, Lee Jung-jae and director Lee Seung-woo both graduated from Dongguk University, so was there a factor in your decision to star in this movie?"

"There are definitely some factors in this, but the most important thing is that I have a lot of trust in the ability of director Lee Seung-woo."

"Son Ye-jin xi, this is your second collaboration with director Lee Seung-woo, can you tell us why you decided to work with director Lee Seung-woo for the second time? What kind of role did you play in this film? ”

"Just like Lee Jung-jae's predecessor said just now, because I worked with director Lee Seung-woo once, and the films we collaborated on have been recognized by the audience both in terms of word-of-mouth and box office, and with such a successful cooperation foundation, I naturally have more trust in director Lee Seung-woo's directing ability. As for my role this time, I can tell you a little bit about the role of a pregnant woman this time. ”

"Kim Eui-seongxi, what role are you playing in the movie this time? What is your assessment of director Lee Seung-woo, ......? ”

"Ma Dong Seok xi ......"

"Choi Woo-sik ......"

According to the process, the reporters asked questions to several creators one by one, and after everyone had asked questions, the rest was free time to ask questions.

The reporters then threw the question to Lee Seung-woo.

"Director Lee Seung-woo, I heard that you are also one of the investors in this movie, and I heard that the investment amount is not small, what is your box office expectation for this movie?"

Hearing this question, Lee Seung-woo decided to break a big news.

"My first three movies, if you look up, you should be able to know the specific box office. For this new film, this is the one I have been preparing for the longest time and I have wanted to shoot it since I became a director. So if I can, I expect the box office of this movie...... can reach the sum of the box office of the first three movies. ”

"Wow-"

Li Chengyou's voice lagged behind, and the audience was suddenly in a commotion.

The reporters who were able to come to the press conference must have made preparations in advance, so even if they can't accurately say the box office of Lee Seung-woo's first three films, they all know the approximate value.

"Don't Stop the Camera" has about 2 million box office, "Lost Delta" (Horror Cruise) 5 million, and "The Secret That Can't Be Said" 5 million...... In other words, Lee Seung-woo really has high hopes for this new movie, and the box office of the first three movies is ...... 12 million?

Do you want to be so fierce?

This big news really shocked all the reporters at the scene.

Not only reporters, but also several other main creators, Lee Jung-jae, Son Ye-jin, Kim Eui-seong and others heard Lee Seung-woo's words, and they all looked at Lee Seung-woo together.

12 million box office?

There are very few movies in South Korea that can reach 12 million moviegoers at the box office, and Lee Seung-woo's talent is obvious to all, but also recognized by audiences and industry insiders.

But this time the movie is expected to have a box office of 12 million?

This big talk is also ......

That's an exaggeration!
