let go of that director

Chapter 315
The conference site.

ten o'clock in the morning.

Lee Seung-woo led Lee Jung-jae, 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 sides, then Kim Eui-seong and Ma Dong-seok, and on the far side were Kong Seung-yeon and Choi Woo-sik.

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

The reason is simple and easy.

After a few people came to the stage, they made time for the reporters to take pictures. After a burst of flashing lights, the host briefly introduced the press conference process, and then began to let the main creators introduce themselves.

As the director of the film, Lee Seung Woo must be the first.

Smiling, Li Chengyou bowed slightly, and said first: "Hi everyone, I am Li Chengyou, the director of this movie "Train to Busan". First of all, thank you for attending this press conference. This is my fourth movie. , is also the movie I have been preparing for the longest and is very important to me, I hope everyone can support it."

After Lee Seung-woo, Lee Jung-jae and others also took turns to introduce themselves one by one, and then the media asked questions.

As soon as they entered the questioning session, the reporter immediately began to speak enthusiastically, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.

"Director Lee Seung-woo, you said just now that this is the movie you have been preparing for the longest time and that you value very much. What type of movie is this? How long have you been preparing for it?"

Li Chengyou glanced at the reporter who asked the question, and said with a smile: "If this reporter friend has seen my first movie, he should know that my first movie is about a crew shooting a zombie short film in an abandoned factory. Actually This time "Train to Busan" is also a zombie film, and the script can be said to have an idea before I made the first film."

Smiling, Li Chengyou said again: "It's just that everyone knows that two years ago I was a fledgling and unknown new director. Of course, I am still a new director now. But with my reputation and ability at that time, I wanted to shoot For a real zombie film, the investment alone is a big problem. And this film can be regarded as fulfilling my dream of being a director at the beginning, which is to make a real zombie film.

So it can be said that preparations for this movie have started two years ago. "

"So this time the movie is a disaster-type zombie movie, so I would like to ask Director Lee Seung-woo, what is the difference between your zombie movie and foreign zombie movies of the same type?"

"This is..."

Li Chengyou smiled: "After the movie is released, everyone will know. For now, please forgive me for leaving some suspense and mystery."

Seeing that Li Chengyou didn't want to say more, the reporters also understood.

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

then.

The reporters skipped over Lee Seung Woo and started asking questions of the other main creators.

"Lee Jung-jae, as far as I know, this is the first collaboration between you and director Lee Seung-woo. May I ask why you decided to act in this movie?"

"The first must be trust."

Lee Jung-jae smiled and said: "I have watched several works directed by Lee Seung-woo seriously, whether it is the first "Don't Stop the Camera" or "The Unspeakable Secret" released a few months ago, every film directed by Lee Seung-woo The works are full of creativity, and the script is also very good. The same is true for "Train to Busan" this time. Director Lee Seung-woo's ability in script creation is well known, and I don't think I need to introduce this point to you.

Second, of course, is trust.

I think as long as you are an actor, you will not reject a director who can achieve great success in every work, and I especially like the characters in this script.I also believe that after the film production is completed and released, it will definitely bring the audience a hearty movie-watching experience. "

"As far as I know, both Lee Jung-jae and director Lee Seung-woo were born at Dongguk University. Is there any factor in your decision to star in this movie?"

"There must be some factors in this regard, but the most important thing is that I have great trust in director Lee Seung Woo's ability."

"Son Yejin xi, this is your second collaboration with director Lee Seung-woo, can you tell me why you decided to collaborate with director Lee Seung-woo for the second time? What kind of role did you play in this movie?"

"Just like what senior Lee Jung-jae said just now, it is precisely because I have cooperated with director Lee Seung-woo once, and the films we collaborated with have been recognized by the audience in terms of word-of-mouth and box office. Naturally, I have more confidence in my ability. As for the role I will play this time, I can tell you one thing, this time I will play the role of a pregnant woman."

"Jin Yichengxi, what role did you play in the movie this time? For director Li Chengyou, what is your evaluation...?"

"Ma Dongxixi..."

"Cui Yuzhi Xi..."

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

The reporters then threw the question to Lee Seung Woo again.

"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 make a big news.

"If you inquire about my first three films, you should be able to know the specific box office. For this new film, this is the longest I have prepared and I have always wanted to shoot before I officially became a director. So if If possible, I hope that the box office of this movie...can reach the sum of the box office of the previous three movies combined."

"Wow—"

Li Chengyou's voice fell behind, and the audience suddenly became noisy.

The reporters who were able to come to the press conference must have made preparations beforehand, so even if they couldn't say exactly the box office of Lee Seung-woo's first three films, they all knew the approximate figures.

"Don't Stop the Camera" is about 200 million at the box office, "Lost Delta" (Terror Cruise) 500 million, "The Untold Secret" 500 million... In other words, Lee Seung-woo really has high hopes for this new movie. The cumulative box office of the three movies... 1200 million?
Do you want to be so fierce?
This big news really shocked all the reporters on the scene.

Not only the reporters, but several other main creators, Lee Jung Jae, Son Ye Jin, Kim Eui Sung and others all looked at Lee Seung Woo in unison when they heard Lee Seung Woo's words.

1200 million box office?
There are very few films in South Korea that can reach the box office of 1200 million viewers. Although Lee Seung Woo's talent is obvious to all, it has also been recognized by audiences and industry insiders.

But this movie is expected to be 1200 million at the box office?
This big talk is also...

Too exaggerated!
