Actors Hwang Jung-min and Jung Hae-in will take over the Chuseok holiday theater with the movie Veteran2.
On the afternoon of the 9th, the press and distribution premiere of the movie 'Veteran2' was held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Ichon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Actors Hwang Jung-min, Jung Hae-in, and director Ryu Seung-wan attended the scene.
'Veteran 2', which will be released on the 13th, is a sequel to the box office hit 'Veteran', which attracted 13.41 million viewers, and it is an action crime investigation drama that pursues a serial killer who caused a stir in the world when the youngest detective Park Sun-woo joins veteran Seo Do-cheol's violent crime investigation team to catch the bad guys until the end. Following the previous episode, coach Ryu Seung-wan took the megaphone.
'Veteran2' was officially invited to the Midnight Screening category at the 77th Cannes International Film Festival in May. Afterwards, he was officially invited to the special presentation section of the 49th Toronto International Film Festival held on the 5th, confirming his second screening move.
Director Ryu, who directed the film, arrived in Korea yesterday after going to the Toronto Film Festival. I went on a shorter trip than the Busan International Film Festival"Fortunately, the local audience responded well. Toronto's atmosphere was slightly subdued due to the Hallyu strike until last year, but this year, the theater was full of audiences."
Then "I think the audience recognized 'Veteran2' as a movie with a strong humor code than I thought." There was another reason why I was personally moved, and the audience said it felt like they had never seen 'Resell Weppon'. It was an honor to mention my favorite police series. However, the important thing is to meet with Korean audiences starting today.
Hwang Jung-min played Seo Do-cheol, a tough but passionate veteran of the violent crime unit. Returning to the second installment in nine years, he said "I didn't know it would take this long to make the second installment because the first installment went so well. I always had the character Seo Do-cheol on one side of my mind. There was a belief that I had to do the second film, and I talked a lot with the director" and "As the audience felt, I tried to give the impression that the second film came out in a short time following the first film"
As for the emphasis on acting in the first episode, Seo Do-cheol's child was in the third grade of elementary school, but after nine years, he became a high school student. " Seo-cheol's tone was bold, but I wanted to show him that he was living well as the head of a family. He also said, "I acted with the hope that the audience would think that it would be reassuring if there was a character named Seo Do-cheol around me."
In particular, Yoo Ah-in, who played Villain Cho Tae-oh in the first film, received a lot of attention from the audience even before the release. As for the reason for casting Jeong Hae-in, director Ryu said, "The starting point of the first and second films is different, so a completely different person with a different resolution " and needed an actor who could give credibility in the second film. As Jung Hae-in said, Park Sun-woo is a person who believes that his beliefs are firm and that what he does is right," he said. "Since I produced the movie 'Starting', I have had trust and faith in Jung Hae-in. Even though he is a young actor, he is heavy, calm, and tries to absorb what he is without prejudice. I felt that I was glad to be with this actor throughout the movie," he said.
In response, Jung Hae-in "There was little character burden as it led to the structure of evil and the formation of villain groups that felt different from the previous one."On the contrary, because it was a movie that was loved so much in the previous film, there was a lot of pressure to join the work itself. I wanted to be a villain who read the script before filmingThere was little pressure to show a completely different appearance.'
Finally, Hwang Jung-min commented on the point of view of 'Veteran 2'"If part 1 is milk chocolate, part 2 tastes like dark chocolate. It's different. I hope you pay attention to it"I hoped. Director Liu did not want to rehash the success of the first film. As a movie maker, I thought it was right to go on a different adventure if I cared about my character and world view. I thought the same thing when I finished the first episode. I am avoiding the expression 'commercial film'. Because the purpose of making a movie is not box office grades, it is described as 'Popular Film'. I'm the only one suffering if I aim at numbers. It is more important to steal the hearts of each and every audience who comes to choose and watch the movie and settle in that heart."
