Chapter 315 Booting up

After several days of intensive preparations.

The movie "When a Man Falls in Love" has finally confirmed its entire cast.

The filming location has also been finalized.

The location chosen was Jin Qixuan’s hometown – AY City.

The original filming location of the movie "When a Man Falls in Love" was Sinchon, Seoul.

It was a run-down area that was once filled with a large number of erotic services and gangster industries.

However, time flies and the new village is no longer what it used to be.

As early as a few years ago, the new village underwent a drastic reconstruction.

The former red-light districts and old residential areas have been demolished one by one, and the gang forces have been gradually whitewashed.

Today's Xincun has undergone a magnificent transformation.

It has become one of the most prosperous and vibrant commercial areas in Seoul.

Therefore, this place is not very suitable for the poor background setting of the heroine in the plot.

The director conducted field research for several days.

Finally, several shooting scenes in AY City were determined that met the needs of the plot.

After the film shooting team entered AY City.

Immediately began to intensively set up the shooting scene.

They carefully selected several representative scenes.

Including an old dwelling as the heroine's home.

An old street serves as the market scene in the movie.

There is also a quiet park as a romantic date spot for the hero and heroine.

……

October 17th.

The opening ceremony of the movie "When a Man Falls in Love" was held as scheduled.

Because the budget funds are very sufficient.

During the opening ceremony.

In order to create hype, the crew specially held a press conference.

Among these media that came, some were invited with money, while others applied to come on their own initiative.

A total of 36 entertainment media or UP hosts with millions of fans attended the event.

nine in the morning.

Kim Ki-hyun and Lee Ji-eun changed into their costumes for the drama in advance and attended the opening ceremony.

Lee Ji-eun wore a KB Bank employee uniform, looking dignified yet cute.

Jin Qixuan, on the other hand, looked unruly.

The floral shirt and shiny gold chain make him look like a bad guy.

With the appearance of the two people.

The originally deserted opening ceremony scene suddenly became lively.

Reporters raised their cameras and took pictures of the two people.

After a while.

The opening ceremony concluded successfully.

Then, a group of people walked onto the built stage.

Prepare to accept interviews from the media and provide them with material for writing articles.

The only people present this time were Kim Ki-hyun, Lee Ji-eun, director Han Dong-wook and Warner CEO Choi Jae-won.

In order to maintain the publicity bottom line.

Song Kang-ho did not appear at the press conference.

Wait until everyone is seated.

The reporters in the audience raised their hands.

Then the staff handed the microphone to a female reporter.

"Hello, I'm a reporter from KBS2. I'd like to ask IUxi how she feels about her first movie appearance."

Hearing this, Li Zhien quickly picked up the microphone and said with a smile:

"Very happy."

The female reporter continued to ask:
"This is your first film starring role. Do you think you are up to the task?"

Li Zhien nodded slightly and said:
"I will try my best to interpret this role well and not let everyone down."

This reporter finished asking questions, and the next reporter continued to ask Li Zhien:
"By the way, this drama is the first time the two leading actors have collaborated again after three years, right?"

"Yes."

"It is said that IUxi turned down many schedules for this drama. If the male lead is not Kim Ki-hyun, will you still act in it?"

"Uh……"

In fact, if the male lead is not Jin Qixuan.

She is not even qualified to be the heroine of this movie.

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan quickly protected his wife, picked up the microphone and said:

"No matter who the male lead is, IUxi, as an excellent actress, will decide whether to act based on her own interests and the charm of the character."

Then, another reporter raised his hand and got the opportunity to ask a question.

"Jin Qixuanxi, you and IUxi are working together again after three years. Do you have any new feelings?"

Jin Qixuan turned his head and glanced at the beautiful Li Zhien, and said with a smile:

"IUxi has become more mature and beautiful, and our chemistry has improved."

The reporter nodded and continued to ask:

"Do you two have any idea of falling in love?"

Hearing this, Jin Qixuan shook his head and laughed, saying:

"Do you have to ask so bluntly?"

Jin Qixuan's words caused laughter at the scene.

The reporter also responded with a smile:
“This is a question that everyone is concerned about!”

"That's a question~"

As he spoke, Jin Qixuan turned and looked at Li Zhien.

The two smiled at each other and said, "We may need to discuss this in private before we can give an answer."

This answer once again caused laughter and applause from the reporters.

Obviously, everyone is looking forward to the relationship between this screen couple.

Next, the reporters' questions gradually became more diverse and in-depth.

I asked director Han Dongyu about his considerations for casting.

I also asked Choi Jae-won about his views on the film market.

……

The press conference lasted nearly an hour.

It ended successfully with applause and flash lights.

Kim Ki-hyun and Lee Ji-eun waved goodbye to the reporters along with the director and Choi Jae-won.

Immediately afterwards, Kim Ki-hyun and Lee Ji-eun began shooting promotional posters.

The promotional poster has three pages in total.

Version A shows two people walking side by side on the street.

Lee Ji-eun walked with her head down, holding her small bag, with unhappiness written all over her little face.

Jin Qixuan on the side handed her an ice cream.

Version B shows Kim Ki-hyeon riding a bicycle and Lee Ji-eun hugging his waist on the back seat.

Version C shows Lee Ji-eun sitting on a bench, looking down with a smile at Kim Ki-hyeon who is resting his head on her legs.

The three versions of the promotional posters show three different emotional states of the male and female protagonists in the movie.

From sweetness to tenderness to contradiction, each version is full of story.

Because of the real emotions.

Whether it is static shooting or dynamic shooting.

The eye contact and physical contact between the two seemed extremely natural and real.

After shooting the promotional poster, it was almost noon.

Had a simple lunch.

The filming officially started at one o'clock in the afternoon.

Because I was delayed for the whole morning.

Therefore, the shooting task that day only consisted of 15 sets of shots.

And most of these shots are focused on Jin Qixuan.

The first few scenes are all about establishing the male protagonist’s character.

He went to the church to collect the high-interest loan from the priest, but instead gave the priest some money.

I went to the fried chicken shop to collect debts and left some money for my children's tuition to the owner.

Going to the market to collect debts also mainly relies on intimidation.

If they cannot threaten someone, they will resort to self-harm to collect debts, but they will never use violence against the debtors.

However, Jin Qixuan NGed twice in this scene.

The plot setting is that the male protagonist drinks gasoline and then forces the debtor boss across the street to drink it with him.

But you definitely can’t use gasoline when shooting.

Water was used at first, but the results shown by Jin Qixuan were not satisfactory.

It’s not that the acting is bad, but it’s not that vivid.

Later, the director thought about it.

Just use Chinese liquor instead.

You know what, the effect is really good.

Jin Qixuan took a big gulp of white wine, and a mask of pain instantly appeared on his face.

The next second, he endured the discomfort in his body and forced the actor opposite him to drink with him.

The scene is finished.

Added a few more shots.

At this moment, Jin Qixuan was already drunk.

"Director, is it over?"

Jin Qixuan staggered to sit next to Han Dongyu and asked.

"Wait a minute, let me take a look."

As he waited, Jin Qixuan held his head and fell asleep.

Although his alcohol tolerance is much better than before when he would get drunk after just two bottles of beer.

But it can’t withstand two taels of 2-proof liquor!

"Director, Jin Qixuanxi seems to have fallen asleep..."

Seeing this, the stagehand reminded the director who was watching the playback from various camera positions.

Hearing this, Han Dongyu turned around and gently pushed Jin Qixuan.

Then, Jin Qixuan lay in Han Dongyu's arms.

"..."

It was around four o'clock in the afternoon when Jin Qixuan slowly woke up.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Lee Ji-eun sitting next to him.

"Where is this?"

Hearing Jin Qixuan's voice, Li Zhien raised her eyes and smiled:
"You're awake. This is the hotel room." Hearing this, Jin Qixuan raised his head and looked around, saying:
"Why am I here? I remember I was on the set..."

"do not you remember?"

As she spoke, Li Zhien handed over the prepared hangover soup and vividly recreated the scene for him, saying:

"You were drunk at the time, and then you lay in the director's arms, holding his waist tightly and not letting go, saying things like you've gained weight, I miss you so much, ￥%&* and other lewd words, and then you vomited all over the director."

"..."

Jin Qixuan slowly placed the half-drunk hangover soup on the bedside table.

Then he covered his head with the quilt.

Taishe is dead!

What are you filming?

No more filming! Quit the group!
Seeing this, Li Zhien smiled and stretched out her hand to lift a corner of the quilt and said:
"Oh, are you shy?"

Jin Qixuan pulled the quilt over him, buried his head deeper, and said in a muffled voice:
"Leave me alone, and leave me alone."

Seeing this, Li Zhien couldn't help laughing out loud, and directly pressed on Jin Qixuan, teasing:

"Ouch, our Xuanxuan is shy, let me see~"

"..."

Just like that, Li Zhien teased Jin Qixuan for a while with a smile before saying:

"I was lying to you. You didn't do anything. You just fell asleep in the director's arms."

Hearing this, Jin Qixuan suddenly opened the quilt and asked, "Really?"

"Uh-huh."

"How dare you, Lee Ji-eun, lie to me!"

After saying that, Jin Qixuan raised his hand and slapped Li Zhien's butt a few times.

"Oh, I don't dare, I don't dare~"

Lee Ji-eun covered her butt and begged for mercy, then threw herself into Kim Ki-hyeon's arms.

……

The two of them played around like this for a while.

Then, they lay on the bed together.

"I really didn't do anything?"

Jin Qixuan confirmed again.

“Nothing was done really.”

Li Zhien nodded affirmatively.

"That's good."

Hearing this, Jin Qixuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Actually, to build the character.

The two of them didn't feel any strangeness after not contacting each other for twenty days.

Instead, it made their feelings even deeper.

Perhaps, this is what is called "a short absence is better than a new marriage."

The two of them stayed in bed until around five o'clock before returning to the set.

"director."

Seeing Jin Qixuan coming over to report, Han Dongyu asked:

"Are you awake? Can we still shoot today?"

Hearing this, Jin Qixuan nodded and said:
"It's okay. I just drank some hangover soup and I'm fine now."

"Okay then, go fix your hair. We'll film you in the next scene."

Jin Qixuan nodded in agreement, turned and walked towards the dressing room.

With the skillful hands of the makeup artist, his hair was quickly neatly groomed.

Restored the image of the characters in the play.

The next few scenes that Jin Qixuan filmed were still about establishing his character.

The image of the male protagonist is enriched little by little through his family background, the debt-ridden shop owner, the company president, the shampoo girl, etc.

It was not until ten o'clock in the evening that the filming of Kim Ki-hyeon and Lee Ji-eun's first rivalry scene began.

This scene tells the story of the male protagonist being sent to the hospital by the president to collect debts.

As a result, the debtor lay unconscious in the hospital bed.

The brothers didn't know where to start.

So the male protagonist forced the other party's daughter to repay the debt.

Because the core plot of the movie focuses entirely on the hero and heroine.

Therefore, the heroine's first appearance in the scene is crucial.

The photos must be taken beautifully to show the charm of the heroine.

Otherwise, the hero's love at first sight for the heroine would not be convincing.

To create a stunning effect.

The director shot the scene of Lee Ji-eun carrying a basin of water into the house more than 30 times.

Afterwards, while Lee Ji-eun was watching the replay, Kim Ki-hyeon posted a status on INS.

——#Record the crew life#
[It took more than 30 takes to get one shot right. So cool! ]

The accompanying picture shows Lee Ji-eun standing in front of the monitor, watching the playing clip attentively with a bright smile.

After seeing this, Lee Ji-eun glared at Kim Ki-hyeon.

Immediately afterwards, he also posted an INS.

[An actor was begging the director for a hug on the set. ]

The accompanying picture shows Jin Qixuan lying drunk in the director's arms, while the director looks at him at a loss.

After the two updates were released, they quickly sparked heated discussions on the Internet.

Fans of both men flocked to the comment section.

【Hahahaha, two childish ghosts.】

[It seems like Jieun must have been trying to hold back her laughter when she took this photo, hahaha. ]

[IU’s smile is so healing and beautiful! ]

[I have locked this couple up and I have swallowed the key! ]

【Director: Who am I? Where am I? Why am I here? 】

[Jin Qixuan is so cute when he is drunk, I want to rub him! ]

[Hahaha, I just like watching this kind of flirting between young couples.]

……

Originally, this movie received a lot of attention before filming began.

After all, it's a collaboration between two top male and female celebrities in their twenties.

This in itself is a major attraction.

The two of them continued to show their affection during the filming.

It even made many fans obsessed with it.

Many people went to the movie's Instagram to leave messages, requesting more leaked photos of the two of them.

The official film production team wants to meet the expectations of fans.

He said that he would post some behind-the-scenes photos and videos of Kim Ki-hyun and Lee Ji-eun on the set on INS in the future.

Inside the set.

After Lee Ji-eun completed the first shot of the heroine.

Then he entered into the rivalry segment with Jin Qixuan.

Under the light.

Her face was as white as snow, revealing a pure and flawless beauty.

There was a slight hint of sadness between his brows as he was worried about his father's illness.

It adds a bit of lovable temperament.

Looking at Lee Ji-eun who walked in.

Jin Qixuan's pupils shrank.

He was originally standing casually, but now he straightened up unconsciously.

My eyes involuntarily followed her figure.

Although he was stunned for a moment, he still did not forget the purpose of his visit.

After all, public is public and private is private.

Then, Jin Qixuan waved his hand, signaling his two younger brothers to carry the old man out.

Of course, Lee Ji-eun refused.

Then a fierce struggle broke out between the two sides.

But as a woman, how could she be a match for two men?

Not long after, the bed was dragged to the door.

Forced into a corner, Lee Ji-eun had no choice but to cry and scream and express her willingness to take on the debt.

Lee Ji-eun also shot many takes for this scene.

The main reason is that her performance was a bit too forced.

To put it bluntly, the acting was a bit heavy and the crying wasn't beautiful.

But this is normal.

After all, she had only filmed TV series before.

No acting skills either.

Main occupation is still singer.

After shouting "cut".

Director Han Dongyu came out from behind the monitor, walked over to Li Zhien and started talking about the play:
"For this scene, you can express it this way..."

Jin Qixuan watched silently from the side without saying anything.

After all, it is the director's job to tell the story.

If you don’t teach acting, then what’s the point of being a director!

Except Bong Joon-ho, of course.

Follow Han Dongyu's advice.

IU changed her way of performing.

Crying doesn't necessarily mean you have to cry at the top of your lungs or have a runny nose.

It can be fully expressed by a state of sorrow that is greater than a dead heart.

This not only maintains the beauty of the heroine, but also makes people look distressed.

Sure enough, after the adjustment, Lee Ji-eun's performance became much more natural.

After several NGs, Lee Ji-eun's condition is getting better and better.

When the score rose from 55 to 95, the director gave it a pass.
