April 3 , Seoul Grand Hyatt Hotel.

The media from all parties who heard the news rushed here, and the long spear cannon aimed at this hotel. As for why?

The “Lao Qian” production conference will be held here soon!

The entertainment media from all parties who heard the news are like sharks smelling fishy smells. They rushed to the event site early. I thought I was the first to arrive, but didn’t expect There are also people who came earlier than themselves, especially acquaintances at first glance.

At nine o’clock in the morning, the media can enter the venue in full. It seems to have expected that so many media will come today. The Grand Hyatt Hotel, the organizer of the “Lao Qian” production conference, has already prepared. The largest Conference Hall was vacated in advance, so before the press conference started, I did not encounter the embarrassing situation where there were reporters and no place to sit.

What is a reporter? Every reporter is Deity, because he can say that the dead is alive, and that the alive is dead. Of course, most of the reporters are good, but there are a lot of bad moths among these people, especially It’s that this phenomenon is more common in the entertainment, and it’s almost a loss of ethics. It is estimated that if there is a situation where a reporter has no place to sit, it will be the same as the evil witch in the fairy tale “Sleeping Beauty”. After the press conference All kinds of black “Lao Qian”.

The same is true for the carriage fee, and its function is similar to the function of the’seal fee’. After reporters from the media arrived at the Conference Hall of the Grand Hyatt Hotel, they only needed to take out their work permits and sign a name to get a ride fee, not too much, of course not too much. Many reporters touched the thickness of the red envelopes and then the corners of their mouths. All showed a slight smile.

After all the media friends entered, the “Lao Qian” production conference officially began at ten o’clock in the morning.

Under the leadership of the director and the main creators, the protagonist Cho Seung-woo, Kim Hye-soo, Bai Yun-sik, Yoo Hae-jin, and director Choi Dong-hoon all attended the press conference.

When several protagonists walked out of the background, countless flashes on the scene turned on at the same time, so that people could hardly open their eyes, that is, at this time Jung Hyuk-jae finally understood why all of them When the star gets off the plane and walks out of the exit, he has to wear sunglasses. In fact, it is not to pretend to be forced, but the flash is too sad, and it is almost dazzling.

As the main creator and director of the movie, Jung Hyuk-jae took the lead in taking the microphone from the host on the side. Looking at the densely packed reporters, opened the mouth and said: “Thank you. Being able to come to attend the press conference of “Lao Qian”, I actually didn’t expect so many reporter friends to come. When it just came out, that shimmering Yah!! I thought I was going to be blind.”

“Haha…”

“It’s humorous.”

Jung Hyuk-jae’s words lead to After seeing the bursts of laughter from the Supervisors, it was indeed a young director. The lively atmosphere was quite good. After the laughter, everyone looked at Jung Hyuk-jae on stage, looking forward to his next performance. .

“Should everyone have read the manga “Lao Qian”?” Jung Hyuk-jae asked suddenly while holding the microphone.

Although it was a sudden question, the reporters in the audience were quite generous. Many people answered naturally, “I have seen it!”

“Go to school I saw this comic at some time.”

After finishing talking, several reporters look at me and I look at you, blushing and bowing their heads in unison. It seems that the two sides are swapping. The position is the same, as if I have become the interviewee, it is a bit embarrassing.

Hearing the answers from the reporters, Jung Hyuk-jae also smiled and continued: “Actually, I also watched it when I was in school. At that time, I really liked the protagonist Gao Ni’s unique gambling skills. , Thinking that if you can have such a hand, it would be great.”

Jung Hyuk-jae’s words drew a burst of kind laughter from the audience. After all, most of them were big men at the time. As for the child, there is still a time of dreaming. Because of the influence of “God of Gamblers”, the classic style and fancy tricks of Fa Ge in the movie are all the objects of male children imitating, and “Lao Qian” is naturally not exception.

“Xu Yingwan-ssi, the original author of “Old Thousand” is also a cartoonist I like very much. When I grow up, I can realize the dream I wanted the most when I was a child. This is for me The best gift for myself when I grow up, of course, I also really want to play the actor Gorny in it. After all, not only is young and gold, but also beautiful women like Kim Hye-soo -ssi can be accompanied. This should be a lot. A man yearn for something even in dreams, right?” Jung Hyuk-jae stretched his finger to Kim Hye-soo beside him, causing the heroine to blush and wave her hands again and again.

“Of course, I also know that I am not the life of the hero. After all, I can’t compare to a handsome man like Cho Seung-woo -ssi!” Follow closely from behind is also a compliment. The actor in the play not only drew rounds of applause from the audience, but also attracted the kind eyes and smiles of the protagonists. The effect was quite great.

“To be honest, to be able to direct the movie “Lao Qian”, when the manga was adapted, I would like to thank Xu Yingwan-ssi for directing and encouraging me. The perfect script was also released. Don’t take the credit of Xu Yingwan-ssi!”

At first of the press conference, Jung Hyuk-jae spent more than ten minutes selling the “Lao Qian” to the reporters at the scene. “This movie gave a good compliment to all the staff of Production crew, and then handed the microphone to Cho Seung-woo next to him.

Cho Seung-woo took the microphone handed over by Jung Hyuk-jae, laughed at Jung Hyuk-jae, and then said: “Just now Jung PD fiercely praised me, in the entertainment industry There are not many handsome male directors like Jung PD. People in the entertainment industry, if you don’t have a boyfriend, you have to hurry up. Jung PD is still single.”

Although he is not very familiar, but For the production conference, naturally, there is no need to be too serious. Some ridiculous words are also acceptable. This is not Cho Seung-woo’s tone barely fell. The audience suddenly burst into laughter, even though they knew it was. A joke, but there are still some young reporters who have cast their eyes on Jung Hyuk-jae. This is the “Golden Turtle Son-in-law”, so it looks like this!

Even Kim Hye-soo on the side could not help but look towards Jung Hyuk-jae on the side, thinking that if he was a few years younger, he did not want to eat this tender grass.

When the heroes and heroines in the play took the microphones, it was obvious that the reporters in the audience had more questions, especially Cho Seung-woo and Kim Hye-soo, a movie queen and a movie queen. They have appeared in this movie one after another, not to mention that there are old drama bones like Yoo Hae-jin and Bai Yunzhi, all of which are acting prowess. Such a luxurious Case combination naturally attracts the eyes of countless audiences.

“Cho Seung-woo -ssi, why did you take this movie?” a reporter asked in the audience.

For this question, Cho Seung-woo still thought about it carefully, and then replied: “In fact, the main reason is because of the invitation of Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi and the Mature script.”

” “Lao Qian” is a good comic, but the film adaptation is not the same as the comics, because in just two hours I want to integrate all the plots of the four comics It is unrealistic to mix them all together, so a good movie naturally needs a good Screenwriter, and the script brought by Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi is a mature and high-quality script. I like the high-quality script in the play very much. This role.”

“In addition, I am also a fan of “Old Thousand”.”

Cho Seung-woo, who was also born in 1980, looks at Jung Hyuk-jae at this point. After taking a look, after inadvertently holding a handful of each other, the two laughed kindly to each other, and the atmosphere of the Production crew was quite harmonious.

After the reporters asked Cho Seung-woo a few more questions, everyone in the audience had already noticed Kim Hye-soo who was sitting next to Jung Hyuk-jae, even just now. When asking Cho Seung-woo questions, many people’s eyes simply haven’t left Kim Hye-soo. Even if they simply sit on the stage, Kim Hye-soo is still the natural luminous body, which is deeply attracted. The eyes of men and women in the audience were both male and female.

Compared to the simple questions asked by Cho Seung-woo, the questions that reporters asked Kim Hye-soo afterwards seemed a bit tricky.

“Kim Hye-soo -ssi, in the original comic version of “Old Thousand”, Ms. Zheng has a lot of naked, revealing actions and behaviors. In the filming, whether these pictures Will it be filmed as well?”

A reporter asked tricky questions. This is a question he carefully prepared. Before coming to participate in this press conference, he had already prepared it. The previous preparations took advantage of this short period of time to look through the comics of “Lao Qian” roughly, and then there was such a problem.

Kim Hye-soo is no longer a newcomer in the entertainment industry. Although this kind of problem seems a bit tricky, it doesn’t really stump him. I saw Kim Hye-soo slightly smiled, and then he explained. “Actually, after reading the script brought by Jung Hyuk-jae Jung PD, I clearly understood that there are some naked and exposed scenes in the play.”

Kim Hye-soo’s words just After falling, there was a tumult in the audience, naked. Exposing the camera? Could it be said that a good gambling film is going to be made into a tertiary film? After listening to Kim Hye-soo’s words, the reporters could not help but raise such questions.

Kim Hye-soo has already predicted the uproar caused by his remarks. Although the time has entered into 2006, the domestic atmosphere in South Korea is still somewhat conservative to be honest. The audience is naturally curious about the film’s exposure. This can be considered an alternative publicity for the film!

“Of course, the nude scenes in the play are all for the next plot and will not appear as everyone imagined.” Kim Hye-soo then explained.

But even with that said, many reporters in the audience have already thought about tomorrow’s entertainment headline in their hearts, “The “Lao Qian” is naked. The lens is eye-catching, and the gambling film may change to three. Grade film”……
