Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 783 - Temporary Press Conference
"cheer!"

Lin Yuna muttered softly without moving her red lips, and at the same time, she put the mineral water bottle in her hand flat and poked Chen Yu's lower back twice very covertly to make him stand straight.

As soon as Chen Yu landed, he was taken to a temporary press conference set up at the Gangnam District News Center by Lotte Film Production Company.

To be honest, Chen Yu was in a very bad condition at the moment. After all, it was an extremely long flight from Mauritius to Seoul.

Chen Yu not only had to fight jet lag, but also had to adapt to the weather in Seoul which had already entered late autumn.

A significant temperature drop within forty-eight hours can easily cause old fish to catch a severe cold.

In Mauritius, you will sweat even if you wear a short T-shirt, but when you arrive in Seoul, you must wrap yourself in a thick cotton coat to keep warm.

Chen Yu was drowsy and her eyelids were twitching, which was probably due to the fact that Seoul was particularly cold this morning. Even Lin Yoona was wrapped up tightly and wore a cute pompom hat on her head.

Gu Jiaohuan, who was sitting on Chen Yu's left, wiped his red nose tip repeatedly with a wet tissue in his hand.

This guy didn't have a cold, but his rhinitis suddenly relapsed due to the sudden drop in temperature.

The media and reporters at the scene were very considerate of Gu Kyo-hwan and did not let him answer too many questions. Currently, Lim Yoona is shouldering the responsibility of output and is discussing and communicating with the media and reporters below the stage.

Chen Yu acted like a rogue. He used the language barrier as an excuse to selectively answer questions.

"What are your expectations for the Korean version of Knives Out? A huge box office success, a great reputation, or both fame and fortune?"

Chen Yu tilted his head slightly and when he heard his English pronunciation he knew that this guy was Japanese.

Among the three countries in East Asia, the Chinese have the most pleasant and standard English pronunciation.

South Korea ranked second, while Japan ranked last.

What’s even more speechless is that group of monkeys in Southeast Asia speak English.

Of course, there are 100% experts in the above-mentioned countries and regions whose pronunciation is impeccable.

Chen Yu has traveled back and forth to and through Korea many times in the past two years, but he has only learned three sentences of the local dialect, and they are not very standard, so no one should laugh at each other about things like pronunciation.

Although Chen Yu could understand the questions asked by the reporter from Yomiuri Shimbun.

But in order to take care of the local media on the scene, Yoona still translated the question into Korean.

She also gives Chen Yu the opportunity to create ideas and organize language.

"I certainly hope that this work can achieve both fame and fortune."

Chen Yu would definitely not find fault with the Korean version of "Knives Out", even though he had no idea about this greatly revised work. Upon hearing this, Lin Yoona secretly gave a thumbs up.

A complicated smile appeared at the corner of Gu Kyo-hwan's lips.

If the Korean version of "Knives Out" follows the American version and makes some minor adjustments to suit local conditions, then he must be confident that it will be a big hit at the box office and gain good reputation.

It’s a pity that director Luo Hongzhen insisted on incorporating the grievances on the peninsula.

This makes the Korean version of "Knives Out" less like a suspense movie, but more closely related to geopolitics and international affairs. Gu Kyo-hwan feels that the role he plays is more like an agent than a detective!

Gu Kyo-hwan really couldn't understand what director Na Hong-jin was thinking.

"Knives Out" achieved fame and fortune in Europe and the United States by relying on retro detective routines.

Although the American version contains many allusions and spoofs of classic political and current events, the characters are not labeled with any party affiliation.

This leaves the audience with a vast amount of room for imagination and substitution.

Director Ryan played this trick quite skillfully.

He allows the audience who likes to identify with the characters to explore, analyze and even reconstruct this detective film from many angles, thus prompting the audience to watch and review it again and again.

On the contrary, the Korean version puts all political views on the table through the actors.

It seems as if they are afraid that the audience will not know which actors are awe-inspiring heroes, which characters are rough and tumble good guys, and which characters are despicable and insidious national scum and traitors.

Director Luo Hongzhen took the initiative to reduce the difficulty of watching the film, allowing the audience to quickly understand the context and characters of the work.

This would allow him to add more content to his work, such as criticizing the chaebols, denouncing the Korean legal system, and scolding the Korean police and supervisory agencies.

Director Na Hong-jin hopes to use the above content to turn the Korean version of "Knives Out" into a series, and gradually move away from the original version, which he believes has no depth at all.

Director Luo Hongzhen used his first work as a direct inducement.

According to the jargon of film and television, the Korean version of "Knives Out" is very close to the category of parody.

Director Luo Hongzhen uses the guise of remake to tell the story he wants to convey to the audience.

If the copyright agreement signed between Lionsgate, Lotte and Showcase was a little stricter.

Director Luo Hongzhen is very likely to be sued in court for such behavior.

The Korean version of "Knives Out" completed all post-production in early October. Both Koo Kyo-hwan and Lim Yoona have seen the refined version and have different opinions on the work.

Yoona didn't expect this work to be so profound and sharp.

The American version is interspersed with several witty and humorous segments. If you are familiar with European history, you will find that the characters' dialogues contain enough jokes to make you think about them over and over again.

Of course, Chen Yu’s former Soviet Union proverbs can also make the audience smile.

The Korean version of Knives Out is the opposite.

Director Luo Hongzhen uses a pseudo-documentary format to narrate the coldness of Korean society and interpersonal relationships.

There is no warmth or healing in the Korean version of "Knives Out", only cruel reality.

Lin Yoona didn't expect that the character she played would be full of acting tension after editing!

She estimates that she can be nominated for the Best Actress award in South Korea's three major awards again with this role.

Lim Yoona is an optimist and believes that this work should be able to create a sensation in Asia, but it is unlikely to become one of the top three in Europe, after all, the American version is too dazzling.

Lin Yuna is convinced that this work can reach the top of Korea's annual movie viewing list!

Koo Kyo-hwan is the exact opposite of Im Yoona.

He prefers audience applause rather than box office success.

In the end, this work became a gem in the ocean among film critics.

The Korean version of "Knives Out" was too depressing and heavy as a whole. After finishing filming, Gu Kyo-hwan took a full 20-day break before he could barely get out of the role's emotions.

Why is Lin Yuner like nothing happened? That can only show that she is strong and tenacious!
It’s not that this sister wasn’t into the role at all.

The impromptu press conference lasted nearly forty minutes. Chen Yu was not in the right state due to jet lag, and Gu Jiaohuan was suffering from rhinitis and had to serve as a human background.

Lin Yoona was busy from the beginning to the end.

The production company specifically reminded this sister to take good care of her voice as she had to record a variety show and do farm work in the countryside early the next morning.

Chen Yu hopes that the recording of the program will be postponed for one day, otherwise he will just be able to fill in the gaps in his current state.

If the director of this variety show doesn't care whether he really works hard, then it's okay to record it now.

When the guy sent by the variety show team to contact the person heard this, alarm bells immediately went off in his heart!
I guess when the official recording starts tomorrow morning, Chen Yu will definitely just work without putting in any effort.

The young man then said that he would ask his superiors if they could re-coordinate the official recording time.

Try to ensure that there is enough time for Chen Yu to rest, adjust and recover.

Gu Jiaohuan also agreed with Chen Yuti's idea.
