Chapter 326 Song Kanghao can’t stand “Qixuan’s Law”
Mid-December.
In the blink of an eye, the crew of "When a Man Falls in Love" has started filming the second half of the plot.
The plot of the first half of the movie fits the theme of the movie's title.
——True love, that is, a cliché love story in which debt collection becomes love-making.
But the plot story in the second half has become
——"If I have three months left in my life".
That is, after the male protagonist knows that he is terminally ill.
In despair, I began to use all my remaining energy.
Here, more than 80% of the scenes are the highlights of Jin Qixuan.
An analysis of being beaten, crying, and talking to himself when he wanted his money back.
In order to prevent dancing.
Jin Qixuan successively refused to attend many end-of-year awards guests, event hosts, ELLE Fashion Ceremony and other events.
Under the influence of this immersive shooting, Jin Qixuan was completely immersed in the drama.
Moreover, in order to get closer to the appearance of people released from prison and terminally ill patients.
In early December, Jin Qixuan began to lose weight in an unhealthy way.
I often stay up late, making myself look even more haggard.
This also led to the muscles he finally gained after finishing "Parasite".
Training was in vain again...
Towards the end of the month.
Zhien took a few days off to attend the end-of-year singing competition of the three major channels.
Not a few days later.
The crew of "When a Man Loves" welcomes their final cast.
——Song Kanghao.
Jin Qixuan also ended his state of fighting alone.
And, he personally went to pick up Song Kanghao to join the team.
Song Kanghao has been busy promoting "The King of Anesthetics" a while ago.
Therefore, he hung out for a long time on the day of launch.
After watching Jin Qixuan's first scene, he took his script and the shooting schedule and left.
On the road.
Jin Qixuan made some insidious inquiries about the box office results of "The King of Anesthetics".
The results are known.
The box office results were not very satisfactory.
Half a month has passed before the number of moviegoers exceeded one million.
It looks like it may not even be able to pass the profit and loss point.
Jin Qixuan was very surprised by the result.
This is very unsong Kanghao.
The plot of this movie is similar to "Ice Hunt" filmed by Fishman.
Both are stories about the rise and fall of patriotic drug lords.
The background of the story is the peninsula in the 1970s, and is based on Li Tousen, the drug lord who dominated South Korea and Japan.
During the promotion period, "The King of Narcotics" was once hailed by the media as the most watched movie in December.
The director is Woo Min-ho.
The 19-box box office champion "The Insider" won the 2016 Blue Dragon Award for Best Film.
As for the cast.
Super cast, star-studded.
Song Kanghao, Bae Doona, Kim Daemyung, Cho Jung-seok.
Any one of them alone is enough to attract attention.
Li Xingmin also played a small supporting role in it.
Coupled with the exciting subject matter of a drug lord, it is definitely a hit.
Moreover, the pre-sale box office has always been at the top of the pre-sale list.
Song Kanghao also paid a lot for this movie.
She was soaked in sea water, stripped naked and hung, and even staged a scene where she drank urine.
Although drinking urine is staged, the humiliation is enough.
Unfortunately, as great as the expectations are, there will be great disappointments.
Once "The King of Narcotics" was released, its reputation plummeted.
The rating on the Naver film review website once dropped from 8.9 to 7.12.
And it keeps dropping.
The score of 7.12 is actually a good score for other actors.
But for Song Kanghao, this is the film with the lowest rating since he started filming.
To put it simply.
This piece is caviar stewed in hot water.
That is - the best materials (actors) were wasted.
Actually, this is the biggest problem of "King of Anesthetics".
Just trying to use a half-finished book that is clear and watery to tell a legendary story.
The story of Li Tousen, the prototype of this film, is not that gripping.
If you want a drug lord-level movie-watching experience, you must not make any mistakes.
Movies like "Po Hao", "The Legend of Lei Luo" and "Chasing the Dragon" can all be used for reference.
The result was more than two hours of running time.
Except for Song Kanghao’s acting alone, there is nothing else to see.
And, the second half of the movie.
A large part of it directly borrows the composition elements and storyboards from "Scarface".
Therefore, when the audience with high expectations encountered an exquisite and gorgeous running account.
The results are self-evident.
If it weren’t for Song Kanghao’s support.
Probably another "Werewolf" movie.
But rather than saying that, this movie gives Song Kanghao the greedy credit of supporting a movie alone.
Rather, I roasted him under the lamp for two and a half hours.
Facts have proved that it is useless to have good actors alone, a good script is the key.
After clarifying the ins and outs of the matter.
Jin Qixuan was at a loss for a while.
If once or twice is a coincidence.
So how will Song Kanghao explain this time...
Could it be that he is really poisonous?
Even Song Kanghao can’t handle it?
Moreover, "Wolf" starring Kim Moo Yeol has also come true.
Now, Jin Qixuan is a little worried about the performance of Ma Dongxi's next movie.
……
At noon.
Jin Qixuan and Song Kanghao arrived on the set.
The entire crew felt refreshed by Song Kanghao's arrival.
Welcome along the way.
Song Kanghao still plays Jin Qixuan’s father in this movie.
This character is a bus driver.
Later he suffered from intermittent Alzheimer's disease.
Occasionally when I am sober, I always complain that the protagonist does not have a wife and children.
The difficulty of this role is that it requires precise switching of eyes.
From the chaos of dementia to the brightness and clarity of wakefulness.
At the same time, he also needs to convey his love for his son.
The difficulty of this kind of role is nothing to Song Kanghao.
He can take on this movie.
Originally, I wasn’t accepted for this role, but for Jin Qixuan.
The main reason is that in "Parasite", he was not fully satisfied with the scene opposite Jin Qixuan.
I still want to collaborate for a few more shows.
Although, he has worked with many young actors.
But an actor like Jin Qixuan is unique in his acting skills.
He has only seen it in Yoo Ah In.
The day I joined the group.
Song Kanghao first took a few simple shots.
Use this to adapt to the role and slowly adjust your performance.
In other words, Song Kanghao is one of the best in today’s film industry.
There was no rehearsal at all for these scenes.
Shoot as soon as you come up, and pass as soon as you shoot.
The total time is only 2 hours.
After a few scenes.
Jin Qixuan said nothing.
But director Han Dongyu couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
Directing a movie with such an excellent actor ended up making a movie like "The King of Narcotics".
To be honest, he thinks it's okay for him to have sex with her.
Thinking of this, Han Dongyu couldn't help but feel a little satisfied.
……
That night.
Jin Qixuan has his first scene opposite Song Kanghao, who has already entered the role.
That is, when the male protagonist learns that his time is approaching, he pays filial piety to his father.
As a result, I accidentally learned that my father had Alzheimer's disease and would forget many things.
In order to help the old man improve his memory, the protagonist's eldest brother found him a part-time job that he could do - origami boxes. Jin Qixuan looked at Song Kanghao, who was sitting on the ground in advance and had already started folding the paper box, and was in a trance.
It seems like I am back to the days when I was folding paper shells in the semi-underground a few months ago.
It’s a joke!
“Each department prepares.”
"Action!"
"Pa!"
After the sound of the board sounded.
In Han Dongyu's eyes, Song Kanghao is still the same Song Kanghao.
But the moment the sound of the board sounded, I aged 20 years.
His eyes became chaotic, but at certain moments they revealed a clear light.
The cardboard box in his hand seemed to have become everything in his life.
Every action seems so focused and serious.
Five seconds later.
Jin Qixuan walks into the camera.
Slowly sat next to Song Kanghao, picked up a cardboard box and folded it silently.
After folding two.
Jin Qixuan placed the cartons in the piled position, turned to look at Song Kanghao, and asked:
"Dad, I heard that you have been a little confused recently?"
"Who?"
"Didn't I hear that your memory is not very good?"
Song Kanghao raised his head and glanced at him, with an imperceptible sobriety flashing in his eyes.
Then he lowered his head and continued to fold the paper box, responding vaguely:
"It's nothing."
Seeing this, Jin Qixuan's face showed a touch of worry, he sighed softly and said:
"Dad, I... I may have to go out for a while. Time, after a while you won’t even recognize me.”
Song Kanghao stopped moving his hands, turned his head and glanced at Jin Qixuan, saying:
"Didn't you just come out? Where are you going?"
"Alas..."
Jin Qixuan sighed.
Suddenly he picked Song Kanghao up around his waist and placed him on the mattress.
“Hey, what are you doing?”
Song Kanghao, who was in the air, had a look of uneasiness on his face and looked at him in surprise.
Jin Qixuan didn't reply. After putting him down, he raised his hand and kneaded his legs.
Half a sound.
Jin Qixuan slowly said:
"You can forget anything, but you can't forget the time I pinched your leg. I have been filial to you after all my life, so I must never forget it!"< br>
Hearing this, Song Kanghao opened his classic eyes and looked at Jin Qixuan for a while, then said:
"Get married."
"If you find someone to marry, that is called filial piety."
Jin Qixuan's hand movements paused slightly.
Then, he lowered his head and continued to knead Song Kanghao's legs.
After a while, Song Kanghao's snoring began.
Seeing this, Jin Qixuan glanced at him, then tilted his head, wiped his tears with his shoulder, and muttered:
"What this old man said is still so annoying..."
Then, Jin Qixuan stood up gently and covered Song Kanghao with the quilt.
Then he sat quietly by the bed and looked at his peaceful sleeping face.
"Click!"
Director Han Dongyu's voice sounded from the sidelines.
After a while, watch the playback of all cameras.
This scene has passed.
Today’s shooting task is completed.
After finishing work for the day.
Han Dongyu originally wanted to hold a wedding banquet for Song Kanghao.
Song Kanghao declined Han Dongyu’s kindness.
Expressed that he wanted to take a rest early to better adapt to the role and filming schedule.
Helpless, Han Dongyu had no choice but to turn down the already booked banquet.
After Jin Qixuan returned to his residence.
I briefly organized the shooting tasks for tomorrow and went to bed before eleven o'clock.
I am really tired these days.
There are no big scenes in the drama "When a Man Loves".
There are also no CG special effects.
There is no need for complicated and exquisite lens language and camera techniques like "Parasite".
As a feature film, all its difficulties lie in the performance.
As for the performance work, Jin Qixuan took on most of it.
In addition, recently, in order to adapt to the character's later stage state, I eat less.
It consumed a lot of his physical strength and made him a little exhausted.
I fell asleep within two minutes of lying on the bed.
The next day.
Finished washing up.
Jin Qixuan began to prepare for today's shooting.
The scene shot in the morning was the scene where the protagonist was in tears while eating noodles and making a will with his father.
This scene is one of the biggest tears in the film.
At the same time, it is also a one-man show by Jin Qixuan.
Song Kanghao has only one figure from behind.
Originally, Jin Qixuan was already in a relationship.
As a result, it was NG as soon as it started.
Without him, the instant noodles are too hot.
But Jin Qixuan was greedy and hungry, and he was in a hurry to eat.
The upper teeth were scalded and blistered all at once.
This is so sour...
"Quick, ice water!"
Seeing this, the director immediately shouted.
Upon hearing this, the crew member immediately brought a glass of ice water to him.
After a while, the burning pain subsided.
Jin Qixuan calmed down and then sincerely apologized to the director and other staff:
"I'm sorry, director, I'm ready, let's do it again."
"OK, 123, start!"
Jin Qixuan adjusted his state, began to enter the role, and muttered to himself Road:
"Dad, actually, I once had a chance and almost got married."
He swallowed and continued:
"But, I screwed it up."
Jin Qixuan gave a bitter smile, picked up the bowl next to him, and continued while eating:
"She works at KB Bank in front of the market. She is very beautiful, with fair skin, and is simply a goddess. Moreover, she is very Kind, even when her father was ill in bed, she always took care of him."
At this point, Jin Qixuan's eyes became dim, and he slowly lowered his head, his voice became hoarse, and he choked:
"But such a kind woman...how can I tell her about my condition? I can't bear to let her endure such pain."
Jin Qixuan took a deep breath and tried to control his emotions.
But the tears still slipped down involuntarily and dripped into the bowl in his hand:
"I'm just a passerby and will disappear soon."
"Dad, if I'm not here, she will live well, right?"
At this point, Jin Qixuan was already crying, and the words He also became incoherent.
"She no longer has a father. From now on, Dad, you will be her father... She is the only woman your son loves deeply..."
In this performance, Jin Qixuan presented a textbook emotional rendering.
It seemed calm at first.
As the emotion progressed, tears flowed down at the emotional point.
Then he gradually lost control until he finally burst into tears.
Actually, the crying scene is the same as the soundtrack.
They are all used to stir up the audience's emotions.
I am very particular about card points.
As for the crying scene, it stuck.
Jin Qixuan learned from Xue Jing ten times out of ten.
If Li Zhien is present.
She will see an emotional and layered crying scene.
It's a pity that she didn't see it.
The filming of this crying scene went extremely smoothly, it was a one time experience.
Even Song Kanghao also gave Jin Qixuan high praise.
After taking a few more shots inside the house.
Immediately started filming several scenes between the male protagonist and his father on the bus.
And this was shot inside the bus.
It is also the only part of the entire movie that was shot with a green screen and synthesized in post.
The car is a real car, but the scenery outside is not real.
Because Song Kanghao’s scenes were shot intensively.
Therefore, in this scene, Jin Qixuan's character will return to his original unruly appearance.
It is not difficult for Jin Qixuan to change his character's personality.
It is easy for him to play two or three triangles for one person.
However, what is difficult is the difference between the physical state and mental outlook of the character before and after the play.
After all, Jin Qixuan is here now.
No matter who looks at him, he looks sub-healthy.
So, the solution is to wear makeup.
