Chapter 19 The storm sweeping across Korea
On July 27, 2006, "The Legend" was finally released in South Korea. Chen Haoyu attended the premiere of the movie with the main creators of the movie. Chen Haoyu is a newcomer and a foreigner. He has no friends with no big names in the entertainment industry. Pei Douna takes good care of him and has always taken him with him. Chen Haoyu, who follows Pei Douna, feels that his eyes are not enough, and there are stars everywhere. The faces that can only be seen on the screen in the past are now by his side.
"Director Bong Joon-ho, congratulations on fulfilling your dream for years." A familiar voice sounded in Chen Haoyu's ears. Chen Haoyu, who turned his head, found that Li Xiuman and his parents appeared at the premiere.
Bong Joon-ho and Lee Soo-man shook hands and expressed their gratitude to Lee Soo-man for their support.
"Hello, Uncle Li!" Hearing her parents Chen Haoyu on such a major occasion, she greeted her slightly shyly.
"Uncle and aunt, Director Li, hello!" Pei Douna greeted Chen Haoyu's parents and Li Xiuman generously.
"Haoyu, why didn't I invite you to attend the premiere?" Li Xiuman joked with Chen Haoyu, and Chen Haoyu was so arrogant that he didn't know how to answer.
"You kid is still shy, it's rare!" Chen Anbang said with a smile when he saw Chen Haoyu's cheeks turned a little red.
"Haoyu, Douna, come and tell me about your movies." Li Haili rescued her son and invited him and Pei Douna to come over.
The premiere of the movie was not invited to the scene. The movie officially started after director Bong Joon-ho made a brief speech.
As the plot deepens, a suffocating horror atmosphere comes to the face. Screams of frightened from time to time in the cinema. When everyone sees Park Soo Hyun, played by Gao Yaxing, is swept away by monsters, they make huge exclamations. Yoo Jun, played by Chen Haoyu, appears. Yoo Jun tries his best to protect Soo Hyun, showing the responsibility of a man. Chen Haoyu's handsome face is covered with dark red blood and scars all over his body. It is believed that Lee Hae-ri is also holding his son's hand tightly with distress. The hazy male and female feelings revealed by Yoo Jun and Soo Hyun also infects the people watching the movie. When Yoo Jun used all his strength to shout that Soo Hyun must survive, people's low sobs sounded in the cinema...
The movie ended when Soo Hyun worshiped You Jun. People in the cinema also recalled the scenes of You Jun and Soo Hyun being separated from each other. The ending song of the movie only burst out with huge cheers and warm applause as if they woke up from a dream.
Chen Haoyu was very excited to listen to the applause and cheers of the people. He had watched the sample film with the crew before, and was not very clear about his performance. Now he has been recognized by the audience. As a newcomer, he is very grateful.
"Haoyu, your performance is very outstanding. I am looking forward to your TV series works now." Li Xiuman expressed his appreciation for Chen Haoyu's acting skills without any concealment. When his parents and Bae Doona heard the news, they asked Haoyu what was going on. Haoyu briefly explained that he was just attending the audition and was still waiting for the crew's notice.
The next day, according to the statistics of the producer, the premiered "Yu Junpian" - Yu Junpian, had a total of 447,000 viewers in 620 theaters across the country, breaking the record of the highest number of premiere audiences and the highest box office record in South Korea. Everyone is even more looking forward to the release of "Yu Junpian" - Soo Hyun Pian, which will be released today.
"This is a science fiction thriller that is different from the traditional Hollywood sense. "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" adds a lot of Korean cultural characteristics and is extremely oriental."
"The "Yu Jun" - Yu Jun's chapter shows us a strong, brave, upright, kind and full of wisdom. He sacrificed his life to protect his beloved. In Yu Jun, I saw the spirit of our nation and the future of our nation more optimistic about it."
The reports on "The Legend" in major Korean newspapers are overwhelming.
On the third day, "The Legend of the Condor" - Soo Hyun's chapter also delivered a perfect answer, and the number of viewers and box office even exceeded that of the previous You Jun chapter.
"Sulhyun and Yuu Junpong are so different. No matter from which perspective, the deep roots of the family view are the biggest highlight of this film. The scene of the whole family working together to fight monsters telling us that in a united family that is not lacking in love, it bursts out with unprecedented strength when encountering such a huge crisis."
"The performance of Gao Yaxing in Soo Hyun's chapter is particularly admirable, which is completely different from the soft and weak girl in Yoo Jun-joon. This time she bravely protected the injured little orphan, and she showed a responsibility far beyond her age."
"The same film, two different stories, show us the great power of family affection and love. I was completely impressed by director Bong Joon-ho. The performance of the two young actors is so excellent, and I look forward to their future works very much."
The great success of "The Legend of the Condor" made Korean media very interested in Bong Joon-ho's bold attempt. There are hundreds of reports about the creative ideas and shooting process. The most important point that Bong Joon-ho emphasized in the report is that when he first saw Chen Haoyu, he felt that he was the most ideal candidate in his heart. Because of the director's praise and the mature performance Chen Haoyu showed in the film, Chen Haoyu, who played a supporting role, faintly overshadowed the protagonist in his momentum, especially among young people, Chen Haoyu is very famous.
With the craze for "The Legend of the Sword", it has been continuously received interviews, director's recommendations, and actors in the same group, and the conjunctions of major search websites are almost all related to Chen Haoyu. From ulzzang to singing videos, from singing videos to saving people, all of them have been dug out by people. When they walk on the street, people will ask him to sign his autograph from time to time. (The number of viewers exceeded 1 million on two days after the release of "The Legend of the Sword" exceeded 1 million, and in 15 days after the release of "The Legend of the Sword", more than 20 million viewers watched the video, which means that almost 1 out of every two people in South Korea watched the video.)
The role of the TV series mbc has also been finalized. The determined protagonist candidate is Chen Haoyu as Lee Shin, Yoon Eun Hye as Shin Chae-jung, Kim Jeon-hoon as Lee Yoo, and Song Ji-hyo as Min Hyoly.
For the production of the TV series "Palace", MBC spent a huge amount of money. It is said that the investment of each episode exceeded 10 million won. It was originally planned to start filming in the late 2005 and the broadcast was broadcast in early 2006. Unfortunately, I found several more famous actresses who did not agree on their own reasons or schedule issues. They were once stranded. This was delayed until the second half of 2006 to decide to audition for actors. Chen Haoyu was also lucky to get this performance opportunity. Taking advantage of the storm that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in South Korea, the crew announced in a high-profile manner that the actor played by Chen Haoyu, who played Youjun in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and the heroine was Yoon Eun-hye, a member of the group who was once a babyvox.
The crew is still selecting actors of other roles. The director asks Chen Haoyu to become familiar with the script first. Chen Haoyu takes the scripts of the first few episodes of "Palace" at home every day and memorizes the lines seriously.
After several days like this, the preparations for the crew were completed and Chen Haoyu was notified to attend the meeting of the main actors of the crew.
Except for Yoon Eun Hye, a member of Babyvox, Chen Haoyu doesn't know much about the other two, and he has spent a lot of effort to search for their information online. After Chen Haoyu learned about it online, he realized that he is not only the youngest but also the least. Yoon Eun Hye has been debuting as a singer for 7 years. In the first half of 2006, there was another movie she participated in. Kim Jeong-hoon had participated in the shooting of two movies before, and he participated in the shooting of many TV series. Song Ji-hyo is also a ulzzang singer and has participated in the shooting of two movies. She also played the role of Mrs. Rui's recently released historical drama "Jumong". Chen Haoyu couldn't help but complain: "Which newcomer, although he has no experience as a starring actor, is a senior compared to himself."
Chen Haoyu came to Yeouido, the location of mbc alone. Li Xiuman once asked him if he needed the company to arrange an assistant for him. Chen Haoyu felt that this was too noticeable, so the newcomer would rather be low-key and declined Li Xiuman's kindness.
Chen Haoyu entered the mbc TV station and came to a small conference room according to the location told by the crew. Chen Haoyu knocked on the door first but failed to respond. He twisted his hand and went in. There was no one in the conference room. Chen Haoyu looked around and found a seat against the wall and sat down. Chen Haoyu, who was idle, took out his mobile phone and brought half of his headphones to listen to music. This was what the girls asked, and he asked him to learn songs anytime and anywhere, otherwise he would not be able to do anything during practice.
How to practice singing? After about ten minutes, staff members walked into the conference room one after another. Chen Haoyu quickly put his phone in his bag and took off his headphones to greet the staff. Perhaps it was the effect of "The Legend", everyone was very kind to Chen Haoyu. When chatting with the staff, Song Ji Hyo, Kim Jeon Hoon and Yoon Eun Hye also entered the conference room. Chen Haoyu greeted them one by one, calling them seniors. Finally, the director and two women also entered the conference room.
"Hello everyone, I am Huang Renlei. The filming of "Palace" is directed by me." Director Huang Renlei gave a brief introduction to himself, "The casting process this time is very hard. It is fate that everyone can finally get together to participate in the shooting of the TV series. I hope that in the next days, we can join forces to contribute a wonderful TV series to the audience." As soon as Director Huang finished his speech, everyone applauded. Director Huang showed a demonstration and continued: "This is Ms. Park So-hee, the author of the original comics, and Ms. Ren Yin'e, the screenwriter of the script. I will fully respect the opinions of both of you during the filming process." It turned out that the two ladies who came in with Director Huang were comic writers and script writers.
Next, the camera, lighting, and styling stood up one by one to meet everyone. After the staff said hello, Director Huang In-lei then introduced the four main actors to everyone, "Chun Haoyu, Lee Shin-shin's actor, Kim Jeong-hoon, Shin Chae-jeong's actor, Yoon Eun-hye, and Min Hyo-lyn's actor." Every time the director read a name, someone stood up to say hello to everyone, "Okay, I won't be more deadly than ever. You can introduce yourself."
Chen Haoyu looked at the other three and was a little hesitant whether he should be the first to stand up. Director Huang saw that everyone was still a little unfamiliar and called him and asked Chen Haoyu to introduce himself first.
"Hello everyone, my name is Chen Haoyu. This is my first time participating in the filming of a TV series. Although I have participated in the performance of "The Legend of the World", it is the first time I have been the protagonist. I hope everyone can correct me if I have anything done well. I will work hard to show my best side. The other three starring actors are my brothers and sisters, and they are seniors in the entertainment industry. I will learn from them well. Thank you everyone!" Chen Haoyu introduced himself with a very correct attitude.
Chen Haoyu, as the youngest actor, first introduced himself, Yoon Eun-hye, Kim Jeong-hoon and Song Ji-hyo also introduced himself. After everyone got to know each other, Director Hwang In-lei announced the end of the meeting and welcomed everyone to officially join the crew.
