The Netflix film 'Jeon, Lan' will open the 29th Busan International Film Festival.
On the afternoon of the 2nd, a press conference for the opening of the 29th Busan International Film Festival 'Jeon, Lan' was held at the Culture Hall of Shinsegae Department Store's Centum City branch in Udong, Haeundae-gu, Busan. Acting executive chairman Park Do-shin, actors Kang Dong-won, Park Jung-min, Cha Seung-won, Kim Shin-rok, Jin Sun-kyu, Jung Sung-il and Kim Sang-man attended the meeting.
The Netflix film 'Jeon, Lan', which was selected as the opening film of this year's Busan International Film Festival, is a story about Jong-ryeo, the son of Joseon's top military family, who grew up together, and Cheon-young, his body servant, becoming an enemy with his ancestors' closest military officer and righteous army and meeting again. Director Park Chan-wook participated in the production and screenplay and received great attention from the time the production was announced. Director Kim Sang-man, who directed "FM in the Late Night", grabbed a megaphone and completed a masterpiece of a sophisticated and powerful historical drama with outstanding staff.
Director Kim, who directed the film for the first time in 10 years and was selected as the opening film of the Busan International Film Festival, expressed his feelings, saying, `I'm happy to be with great actors.'
He also talked about receiving advice from director Park Chan-wook. Director Kim first met with the director at the Joint Security Area JSA. At that time, he was about to join the army, and he thought the director was like a teacher. In a way, the director suggested this work to see if he saw the merits of the work I've been doing, and he gave me a lot of advice from the scenario stage. He confirmed the scenario even though he was busy filming 'Co-worker', and while talking with me, he specifically said 'I wish he could do this'. Although he couldn't come to the scene a lot, he came to the scene at the beginning of the shoot and gave directions to the actors exactly one line."
In addition, Kang Dong-won and Park Jung-min, as well as trusted actors such as Cha Seung-won, Kim Shin-rok, Jin Sun-kyu and Jung Sung-il, predicted intense synergy. Kang Dong-won, who played the role of a slave Chun Young with the best swordsmanship, is a person who uses a freewheeling sword and is an excellent genius prosecutor who can imitate the swords of the characters he faced immediately. Since there are many scenes of fighting with various characters, there were various emotions such as anger and enjoyment toward the other person"I talked well with the martial arts team and the director and filmed it with my emotions intact," he said.
Taking on the role of Novi for the first time, he said, `I wanted to try it since the script came in"There were restrictions when it came to serving as an ambassador. I had to be careful with my words and refrain from expressing my emotions. As a noble class, I had to maintain dignity and dignity, but it was good to act comfortably and freely while doing body work. I tried to express my emotions more when I was acting. Action also used a free knife with the shape of the knife not falling off.'
Park Jung-min plays Jong-ryeo, the only son of Joseon's top military officer. In the play, Kang Dong-won and the sword action scene were played, and he returned with skills he had honed while escorting the king for about seven years after using swordsmanship similar to Cheon-young's before breaking up with Cheon-young. I wanted to implement a slightly different style of swordsmanship, so I discussed a lot with the director. It was made to use a sword thicker and larger than Cheonyeong and take it in a horizontal format rather than a vertical one", he explained.
As you all know about 'Jeon, Lan', which was selected as the opening film, the staff and actors in the movie scene intensified. I will continue to work hard and bring my work to such a good film festival." I think Korean movies will be loved by more people through "Jeon, Lan"I was confident.
Cha Seung-won, who acted as King Seonjo, who abandoned the people and fled, was a character with a lot of hands, so there were not many cases`. The stinking and majesty of being a king settled in his heart like a snake spinning, so that it could be derived from one god on both sides. While looking at the script, I talked a lot about that with the director. If the slope is slightly tilted, it looks ridiculous, so I should have been on the boundary well. Fortunately, the director opened up a lot of room, which helped to enrich the character."
In particular, the Busan International Film Festival drew attention by selecting OTT (Online Video Service) works as the opening film for the first time ever. Acting Executive Chairman Park Do-shin said "When I first saw this movie as a candidate, it was personal, but I enjoyed it so much. I thought it was a good work to approach the public. Youth viewing is also an adventure, but I thought it was worth trying. In the meantime, independent films have been selected as the opening film, but the stance does not change. However, if you have to think about popularity, it is open to OTT to some extent."
Meanwhile, the 29th Busan International Film Festival will be held for 10 days from the 2nd to the 11th around Haeundae Film Center in Busan. The Netflix film 'Jeon, Lan' will meet with the audience at the opening ceremony.
