Chapter 314: Big news

The press 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-sung and Ma Dong-seok, and on the far side were Kong Seung-yeon and Choi Woo-sik.

Regarding the selection of actors, except for a few actors, Lee Seung-woo didn't bother to select some supporting roles one by one, and directly chose the actors from the original version.

The reason is simple, it saves trouble.

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

As a film director, Lee Seung-woo must be the first.

Smiling, Li Chengyou bowed slightly and said first: "Hello everyone, I am Li Chengyou, the director of the movie "Train to Busan". First of all, thank you for attending this press conference. This is my fourth movie.

, is also the movie that I have been preparing for the longest and that I value very much. 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 came the question-and-answer session for the media.

As soon as the question-and-answer session entered, the reporters immediately began to speak enthusiastically as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood.

"Director Li Chengyou, you just said that this is the movie that you have been preparing for the longest and that you value very much. What type is this movie? How long have you been preparing for it?"

Li Chengyou glanced at the reporter who asked the question and smiled: "If this journalist 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. In fact,

This time "Train to Busan" is also a zombie movie, and the script can be said to have been conceived before I made the first movie."

Smiling, Li Chengyou added: "As everyone knows, I was a fledgling and unknown new director two years ago. Of course, I am still a new director now. But with my fame and ability at that time, I wanted to film

For a real zombie movie, the investment alone is a big problem. And this movie can be regarded as fulfilling my dream when I first became a director, which is to make a real zombie movie.

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

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

"Well..."

Li Chengyou smiled and said: "Everyone will know after the movie is released. For now, please forgive me for leaving some suspense and a sense of mystery."

Seeing that Li Chengyou was unwilling to say more, the reporters understood.

After all, if the highlights of the movie are revealed now, the audience will not have much expectations.

then.

The reporters ignored Lee Seung-woo and started asking questions to other creators.

"Lee Jung Jae xi, as far as I know, this is your first collaboration with director Lee Seung Woo. What considerations made you decide to star in this movie?"

"The first thing is definitely trust."

Lee Jung Jae smiled and said: "I have carefully watched several of the works directed by Lee Seung Woo, whether it is the first "The Camera Don't Stop" or "The Untold Secret" which was released a few months ago, every film directed by Lee Seung Woo

The works are full of creativity and the scripts are also very good. The same is true for this time's "Train to Busan". In terms of script creation, director Lee Seung-woo is well known for his ability. I guess I don't need to introduce this to you.

The second thing is, of course, 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 also particularly like the role in this script. I also believe that after the film is completed and released, it will definitely

It can also bring a hearty movie-watching experience to the audience.”

"As far as I know, Lee Jung Jaexi and Director Lee Seung Woo both graduated from Dongguk University. Did this factor play a role 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 Ye-jinxi, 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 do you play in this movie?"

"As Senior Lee Jung Jae said just now, it is precisely because I have collaborated with Director Lee Seung Woo once, and the films we collaborated on have been recognized by the audience both in terms of word-of-mouth and box office. With such a successful cooperation foundation, I am very excited about Director Lee Seung Woo's directing.

Naturally, I have more trust in my abilities. As for the role I will play this time, I can tell you that I will play the role of a pregnant woman this time."

"Kim Eicheng xi, what role did you play in the movie this time? What is your evaluation of director Lee Seung-woo...?"

"Ma Dongxixi..."

"Cui Woo-sik xi..."

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

The reporters then put the question to Li Chengyou.

"Director Li Chengyou, 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, Li Chengyou decided to reveal a big story.

"If you check my first three movies, you should be able to know the specific box office. As for this new movie, this is the one I have been preparing for the longest and 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 combined box office of the previous three movies."

"Wow——"

After Li Chengyou finished speaking, the audience suddenly became noisy.

The reporters who were able to come to the press conference must have made preparations in advance, so even if they could not tell the box office accurately of Lee Seung Woo's first three movies, they all knew the approximate values.

"Don't Stop the Camera" has a box office of about 2 million, "Lost Delta" (Horror Cruise) has 5 million, and "The Untold Secret" has 5 million... In other words, Lee Seung-woo really has high hopes for this new movie.

The cumulative box office of the three movies... 12 million?

Do you want it to be so fierce?

This big news really shocked all the reporters at the scene.

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

12 million box office?

There are currently very few movies in South Korea that can reach 12 million viewers at the box office. Although Lee Seung-woo's talent is obvious to all, it has also been recognized by audiences and industry insiders.

But this time the movie is expected to have a box office of 12 million?
