Chapter 315 Launch
After several days of intensive preparations.
The entire cast of the movie "When a Man Loves" has finally been confirmed.
The shooting location has also been settled.
The choice was made in AY City, Jin Qixuan’s hometown.
The movie "When a Man Loves" was filmed in Sinchon, Seoul in its original time and space.
It was a dilapidated area that was once home to a large number of erotic services and gang industries.
However, as time flies, Xincun is no longer what it used to be.
As early as a few years ago, Xincun ushered in drastic reconstruction.
The former red light districts and old communities were demolished one by one, and the gangs' influence was gradually washed away.
Today’s Xincun has undergone a magnificent transformation.
Becoming one of the most prosperous and vibrant business areas in Seoul.
Therefore, it is not suitable for the poor background setting of the heroine in the plot.
The director went through many days of on-site inspection.
Finally, several shooting scenes in AY City that met the needs of the plot were determined.
After the film shooting team settled in AY City.
Start setting up the shooting scene immediately.
They carefully selected several representative scenes.
Including an ancient residential house as the heroine's home.
An old street serves as a market scene in the movie.
There is also a quiet park that serves as a romantic date spot for the hero and heroine.
……
October 17th.
The opening ceremony of the movie "When a Man Loves" was held as scheduled.
The budget is very sufficient.
During the opening ceremony.
The crew specially held a press conference in order to increase the popularity.
Among the media who came, some were invited by paying money, and some applied for it on their own initiative.
A total of 36 entertainment media or UP hosts with millions of fans attended.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
Jin Qixuan and Li Zhien changed into the costumes in the drama in advance and participated in the opening ceremony.
Lee Ji-eun is dressed in the uniform of a KB bank employee, looking dignified yet cute.
Jin Qixuan looked unruly.
A floral shirt paired with a shiny gold chain doesn't look like a good guy at first glance.
With the appearance of the two people.
The originally deserted opening ceremony instantly became lively.
The reporters raised their cameras one after another and took pictures of the two people.
A moment later.
The opening ceremony concluded successfully.
Afterwards, a group of people walked onto the stage that had been set up.
Be prepared to be interviewed by the media and provide them with materials for writing articles.
The only people present this time were Kim Qixuan, Lee Ji-eun, director Han Dongwook and Warner CEO Choi Jae-won.
To maintain publicity.
Song Kanghao did not appear at this press conference.
Wait for the group to sit down.
The reporters in the audience raised their hands.
Then the staff handed the microphone to a female reporter.
“Hello, I am a reporter from kbs2. I would like to ask IUxi how she feels about starring in a movie for the first time?”
Hearing this, Li Zhien quickly picked up the microphone and said with a smile:
“I’m very happy.”
The female reporter continued to ask:
"You are the heroine in your first movie. Do you think you are qualified?"
Li Zhien nodded slightly and said:
"I will try my best to perform this role well." The role will not disappoint everyone.”
After the reporter finished asking the question, the next reporter continued to ask Li Zhien:
"By the way, this drama is the second collaboration between the two leading actors after three years, right?"
"Yes."< br>
"It is said that IUxi has canceled a lot of schedules for this drama. If the male lead was not Jin Qixuan, would you still play the role?"
"Uh..."
Actually, the male lead is not Jin Qixuan. words.
The film's heroine doesn't get her turn at all.
Seeing this, Jin Qixuan hurriedly protected his wife, picked up the microphone, and said:
"No matter who the male protagonist is, IUxi, as an excellent actor, will base her work on her own interests and the charm of the character. to decide whether to star."
Immediately afterwards, another reporter raised his hand and was given the opportunity to ask questions.
"Jin Qixuanxi, You and IUxi are collaborating again after three years. Do you have any new feelings?"
Jin Qixuan turned his head to look at the charming Li Zhien and smiled:
"IUxi has become more mature and beautiful, and the tacit understanding between us has become better."
The reporter nodded and continued to ask:
"Who are the two of you? Thoughts on love? ”
Hearing this, Jin Qixuan shook his head and laughed, and said:
"Do you want to ask so straightforwardly?"
Jin Qixuan's words caused laughter on the scene.
The reporter responded with a smile:
“This is an issue that everyone is concerned about!”
“This is an issue~”
With that said, Jin Qixuan turned to look at Li Zhien.
The two looked at each other, smiled, and said, "We may need to discuss it privately before we can give an answer."
This answer once again aroused laughter and applause from the reporters.
Obviously everyone is looking forward to the romance between this on-screen couple.
Next, the reporters’ questions gradually became more diverse and in-depth.
I asked Director Han Dong-wook about his considerations for casting.
I also asked Choi Jae-won about his views on the film market.
……
The press conference lasted for nearly an hour.
It ended successfully with a round of applause and flashing lights.
Kim Qixuan and Lee Ji-eun waved goodbye to reporters together with the director and Choi Jae-won.
Immediately, Jin Qixuan and Li Zhien began to shoot promotional posters.
There are three editions of the promotional poster.
Version A shows two people walking side by side on the street.
Li Zhien was walking with his head bowed while holding his little bag, his little face full of unhappiness.
Jin Qixuan on the side handed her an ice cream.
Version B shows Jin Qixuan riding a bicycle, with Li Zhien holding his waist in the back seat.
Version C shows Li Zhien sitting on a bench, looking down at Jin Qixuan who is pillowing on his lap with a smile.
Three versions of promotional posters show three different emotional states of the male and female protagonists in the movie.
From sweetness to tenderness to contradiction, every edition is full of a sense of story.
Because of the blessing of real emotions.
Whether it is static shooting or dynamic shooting.
The eye contact and physical contact between the two seemed extremely natural and real.
After shooting the promotional poster, it was almost noon.
Had a quick lunch.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the shooting officially started.
Because I was delayed all morning.
Therefore, there were only 15 sets of shots for the day's shooting task.
Most of these shots focus on Jin Qixuan.
The previous scenes are all about setting up the male protagonist.
He went to the church to collect loan sharks from the priest, but instead gave the priest a sum of money.
I went to a fried chicken restaurant to collect debts and left some money for my children’s tuition with the boss.
Going to the market to collect debts is also mainly about scaring.
If he can't be frightened, he will resort to self-harm to collect debts, but he will never be rude to the debtor.
However, Jin Qixuan failed twice in this scene.
The plot setting is that the male protagonist drinks gasoline and then forces the opposite boss who is in debt to drink it too.
But you definitely can’t use gasoline when shooting.
Water was used at first, but the effect shown by Jin Qixuan was not satisfactory.
It’s not that the acting is not good, it’s just that it’s not that vivid.
Later, the director thought about it.
Just use Chinese liquor instead.
Don’t say it, the effect is really good.
Jin Qixuan took a big gulp of liquor, and a mask of pain instantly appeared on his face.
The next second, he endured the physical discomfort and forced the actor opposite to drink together.
This scene is finished.
Added a few more shots.
At this moment, Jin Qixuan was already getting drunk.
“Director, have you passed?”
Jin Qixuan sat unsteadily next to Han Dongyu and asked.
"Wait a minute, let me take a look."
After waiting, Jin Qixuan held his head and fell asleep.
Although his drinking capacity is much better than when he poured two beers earlier.
But I can’t stand two ounces of 52% liquor!
"Director, Jin Qixuanxi seems to have fallen asleep..."
Seeing this, the field manager reminded the director who was watching the playback from each camera.
Hearing this, Han Dongyu turned around and gently pushed Jin Qixuan.
Then, Jin Qixuan lay in Han Dongyu's arms.
"..."
It wasn't until after four o'clock in the afternoon that Jin Qixuan woke up slowly.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Li Zhien sitting next to him.
"Where is this?"
Hearing Jin Qixuan's voice, Li Zhien raised his eyes and smiled:
"You're awake, this is a hotel room." Hearing this, Jin Qixuan raised his head and looked around. Circle, Road:
"Why am I here? I remember I was on the set..."
"You don't remember?"
As he spoke, Li Zhien handed over the prepared sobering soup and vividly recreated the scene for him, saying:
“You were drunk at the time, and then you lay in the director’s arms, holding his waist tightly. He let go and kept saying nonsense like "You've gained weight, I miss you so much, ￥%&*", and then he spat all over the director."
"..."
Jin Qixuan slowly placed the half-drunk sobering soup on the bedside table.
Then he covered his head with a quilt.
Taishe is dead!
What else are you taking pictures of?
No more pictures! Leave the group!
Seeing this, Li Zhien smiled and stretched out his hand to lift a corner of the quilt and said:
"Oh, are you shy?"
Jin Qixuan pulled the quilt over, buried his head deeper, and said in a muffled voice:
"Leave me alone, leave me alone. ”
When Li Zhien saw this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. He pressed directly on Jin Qixuan and joked:
"Oh, our Xuanxuan is so shy, let me see~"
"..."
In this way, Li Zhien teased Jin Qixuan with a smile for a while, and then said:
"I lied to you, you didn't do anything, you just fell asleep in the director's arms."
Wen After saying that, Jin Qixuan violently opened the quilt and asked: "Really?"
"Yeah."
"You Li Zhien, how dare you lie to me!"
After saying that, Jin Qixuan raised his hand and slapped Li Zhien's butt several times.
"Oh, I don't dare, I don't dare~"
Li Zhien begged for mercy while covering his butt, and then fell into Jin Qixuan's arms.
……
The two of them fought like this for a while.
Then we lay on the bed together.
“I really didn’t do anything?”
Jin Qixuan confirmed again.
“I really didn’t do anything.”
Li Zhien nodded affirmatively.
"That's good."
Hearing this, Jin Qixuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Actually, to create a character.
The twenty days of no contact between the two did not create any sense of alienation.
On the contrary, it made their relationship deeper.
Perhaps, this is the so-called "a little separation is better than a new marriage".
The two stayed in bed until after five o'clock before returning to the set.
“Director.”
Seeing Jin Qixuan come over to report, Han Dongyu asked:
"Are you awake? Can we still shoot today?"
Hearing this, Jin Qixuan nodded and said:
"It's no problem. I just drank the hangover soup, and I'll be fine now."
"Okay, go and get your hair done, and I'll shoot you in the next scene."
Jin Qixuan nodded in agreement, turned and walked to the dressing room.
With the skillful hands of the makeup artist, his hair was quickly neatly styled.
The image of the character in the play was restored.
The next few scenes that Jin Qixuan filmed were still based on human characters.
The image of the male protagonist is enriched little by little through family background, debt-ridden shop owner, company president, hair-washing girl, etc.
It wasn't until ten o'clock in the evening that the filming of the first scene between Jin Qixuan and Li Zhien started.
The male protagonist in this scene is sent by the president to the hospital to collect debts.
As a result, the debtor lay unconscious on the hospital bed.
The younger brothers have no idea where to start.
So the male protagonist forced the other party’s daughter to pay off the debt.
Because the core plot of the movie focuses entirely on the male and female protagonists.
Therefore, the first shot of the heroine is crucial.
The photo must be beautiful to show the charm of the heroine.
Otherwise, it would be unconvincing for the male protagonist to fall in love with the female protagonist at first sight.
To create a stunning effect.
The director repeated the scene of Li Zhien carrying a basin into the house more than 30 times.
Later, while Li Zhien was watching the replay, Jin Qixuan posted an update on INS.
——#recordcrewlife#
[It took more than 30 shots for one shot to pass, so amazing! 】
The accompanying picture shows Li Zhien standing in front of the monitor, watching the playing clips intently, with a bright smile.
After Li Zhien saw it, he glared at Jin Qixuan.
Immediately afterwards, I also posted an INS.
[An actor acted coquettishly and asked for a hug from the director on the set. 】
The accompanying picture shows Jin Qixuan drunkenly lying in the director's arms, while the director looks at him with a bewildered face.
After the two updates were posted, they quickly aroused heated discussions on the Internet.
Fans of the two people flocked to the comment section.
[Hahahaha, two childish ghosts. 】
【I feel like Zhien Oni must have been suppressing a smile when he took this photo, hahaha. 】
【IU’s smile is so healing, so beautiful! 】
[I have locked up this pair of CPs, and I have swallowed the key! 】
【Director: Who am I? Where am I? Why am I here? 】
【Jin Qixuan is so cute when he is drunk, I want to rua! 】
[Hahaha, I just like watching this kind of flirting scenes between young couples. 】
……
Originally, this movie had a high level of attention before filming started.
After all, two men and women in their twenties are working together at the top of their game.
This itself is a major attraction.
The two kept sending out sweets during the filming.
It even made many fans knock on their heads.
One after another went to the movie INS to leave messages, asking for more Reuters photos of the two of them.
In order to meet the expectations of fans, the film official.
He said that he would release some behind-the-scenes photos and videos of Kim Qixuan and Lee Ji-eun on Instagram in the future.
Inside the studio.
After Li Zhien completed the first shot of the heroine.
Then came the scene with Jin Qixuan.
Under the light.
Her face is as white as snow, exuding a pure and flawless beauty.
There is a slight sadness in the eyebrows due to worry about his father's condition.
It adds a bit of endearing temperament.
Looking at Li Zhien walking in the door.
Jin Qixuan's pupils shrank.
He was originally standing casually, but now he unconsciously straightened up.
My eyes followed her figure involuntarily.
Although he was stunned for a moment, he still did not forget the purpose of his visit.
After all, public is public and private is private.
Then, Jin Qixuan waved his hand and motioned to the two younger brothers to carry the old man out.
Li Zhien naturally refused.
There was a fierce quarrel between the two sides.
But she is a woman, how can she be a match for two men.
Not long after, the hospital bed was dragged to the door.
With no choice but to cry and scream, Li Zhien expressed his willingness to bear the debt.
Li Zhien also filmed many scenes for this scene.
Mainly because her performance was a little too hard.
To put it bluntly, the performance was a bit heavy and the crying was not beautiful.
But this is normal.
After all, she had previously filmed TV series.
I don’t have any acting skills either.
The main business is still a singer.
After shouting "cut".
Director Han Dongyu came out from behind the monitor, walked to Li Zhien and started to talk about the scene:
"For this scene, you can express it like this..."
Jin Qixuan watched silently from the side without saying anything.
After all, it is the director’s job to tell the story.
If you don’t teach acting, then what kind of director would you be?
Except, of course, Bong Joon-ho.
Follow Han Dongyu’s suggestion.
Li Zhien changed a new way to perform.
Crying doesn’t have to be hoarse, nor does it have to have a runny nose.
It can be expressed in a state of mourning more than dying.
This can not only maintain the beauty of the heroine, but also make people look distressed.
Sure enough, after the adjustment, Li Zhien's performance became much more natural.
After being NGed several times, Li Zhien’s condition is getting better and better.
When the score went up from 55 to 95, the director passed it.
In order to keep Li Zhien in the state of the performance just now.
After this scene, shoot the next scene directly.
Li Zhien was so heartbroken that he let the other party put his fingerprints on the contract like a puppet on strings.
The male protagonist played by Jin Qixuan looked at her like this, with a flash of complicated emotions in his eyes.
After the filming of their rivalry scene was completed.
Three more single shots were taken.
The shooting lasted until one o'clock in the morning.
