Director Jang Jae-hyun, the director of the 「Farmyo」 (produced by Showbox and Pinetown Productions), which was released on February 22, was honored with the Director's Award at the 45th Blue Dragon Film Awards held on November 29. He made his debut in the film 『Black Priests』 in 2015 and added meaning by winning the Blue Dragon Film Award for the first time in nine years.
'Plumyo' is a work about a bizarre incident that occurs to feng shui monks, undertakers, and shamans who moved their suspicious graves for a large amount of money. Director Jang Jae-hyun's third occult film, 「Farmyo」, produced the syndrome of occult horror films in a familiar and most Korean approach based on the five elements of yin and yang and feng shui, which cannot be omitted from Korean folk beliefs.
Director Jang Jae-hyun, who completed the most dramatic award-winning performance at the Blue Dragon Film Awards, met with this newspaper and said, `I got a lot of calls after the Blue Dragon Film Awards. Director Ryu Seung-wan, who I respect, contacted me separately, but seeing my tears that were especially frequent, shouldn't I go to the hospital?He even teased me saying '. The previous work 'Sabaha'(19) was produced by director Ryu's production company, Oeyu Naeanggang, and they are deeply connected. To me, director Ryu is a teacher before he is a senior. He has comradeship and is special enough to always say hello on Teacher's Day. I cried a lot in front of director Ryu, but every time, director Ryu was embarrassed, saying, `People think I'm bothering them and crying,' but I think it's because I can put my mind down and rely on them"I'm embarrassed.

In this regard, did director Jang go as far as "Pueng Jae-hyun"Ulbogaebi"Okult Sadness"? Through this Blue Dragon Film Awards, it seems that the image was really imprinted as 'Crying Boy'. I don't know why I'm crying so much these days. To be honest, I'm worried that I might have misrepresented on stage after the awards ceremony. I tried monitoring the awards ceremony only once, but watching me wipe my tears made me cry again. I was so moved at that time that I cried while monitoring," he said with a smile.
Then "I have a different tear point than ordinary people. I don't cry because I'm sad, but I cry at an overwhelming moment. When I saw the vast Mother Nature, I cried because I was overwhelmed, and even at the time when I was about to release my work for four years, I cried because I was overwhelmed. So I cried at the premiere of 'Sabaha' During the Blue Dragon Film Awards, everything passed like a panorama at the time of 'Farmyo', making it even more overwhelming. It's embarrassing to be left like a director with a story unintentionally."
The person who pressed director Jang's tear button was Kim Go-eun, the main character of 'Pamyo' sitting in the audience. Director Jang expressed his gratitude in tears to Kim Go-eun, who led the box office with the shaman Lee Hwa-rim in "Pamyo", saying, "Respect Kim Go-eun, I'm so happy that you're a Korean actor.'
He said "Kim Go-eun and I are like Tom and Jerry. They build friendships and bonds by teasing and teasing each other. They enjoy the chemistry of teasing each other and the fun is quite interesting. I was watching the audience from the stage, and Kim Go-eun congratulated me so much that she was smiling because she wanted to play a joke. I was so overwhelmed by that look that I was crying. When I cried, Kim Go-eun tried to cry, and she cried again after seeing that. It was a series of tears. Kim Go-eun tried hard to hold back tears because of me. I held back tears to the point that my nose turned red."Whenever I saw Kim Go-eun, I didn't take her out of my mouth because I was embarrassed, but every time I was proud that she was a `Korean actor.' Isn't there a time when you feel that way even though you're not the daughter I gave birth to? He's a really great actor who's so proud of being a 'Korean actor'. That's why he confessed in his acceptance speech that such words came out of his mouth.
Of course, I also did not forget the respect I gave to Choi Min-sik, who played Kim Sang-deok, a feng shui historian, as the pillar of 'Pamyo'. Regarding the reason why director Jang mentioned Choi Min-sik, who couldn't attend this year's Blue Dragon Film Awards due to nicotine, he went on a trip to have an after party the next day with Choi Min-sik, who clapped for the Blue Dragon Film Awards because of nicotine. Min-sik also felt sorry that he couldn't be with us, and I think that expression came out because he just wanted to make the place a little pleasant. But I felt sorry again because Min-sik became an icon of smoking because of me. I was sorry in many ways because Minsik's photos reminded me of cigarettes"I shuddered.
Then "I always work on the work with the mindset of ' (乙)". Some people think that the director is a powerful person who leads everything in a work, but in reality, this is often not the case. Should I say that I always owe it to the actors and staff? I think it's because I think I'm going to suffer the other person. During 'Black Priests', Park So-dam's head was pushed away, and during 'Sabaha', Lee Jae-in's eyebrow was shaved. In 'Farmyo', Kim Go-eun was made to ride a jokdu. That's a debt I couldn't settle on one hand. So I'm so happy that whenever an actor or staff member who participated in my work receives an award, I feel like I'm paying off my debt little by little. It's great that I get the prize, but there's more joy than I get."

Director Jang was nominated for the Blue Dragon Film Award for Best New Director, Best Director, and was honored with the award in three times. I remember a lot of times when I was invited to the Best Director Award for 'Sabaha'. When I won the New Director's Award, there was a suit I bought with my mind because it was my first Blue Dragon Film Award, but I was so happy to wear it during the `Sabaha' period. But in the meantime, my physique must have grown without realizing it. My pants didn't fit me. The Blue Dragon Film Awards is coming, and I was thinking of buying new pants, but my wife carefully asked me about my opinion on the purchase, saying, "I don't think you'll stand up because of 'Parasite'(19, directed by Bong Joon-ho). I immediately agreed with my wife's words. That was the year Bong Joon-ho's 'Parasite' was nominated for Best Director and Best Picture. As soon as I was in a hurry, I wore black training pants that didn't show, but I guess it was too ridiculous. Director Ryu, who was a producer, was very surprised when he looked at me, saying, 'What are you doing?' So when I told her what my wife told me, she laughed right away, saying 'That's right' I won the director's award for this year's `Pillow' with a smile.

Director Jang said "Flood" seems really strange. Overall, it seems that we were able to achieve such a good result because we were in good harmony. I was really lucky. It's not just that 'Pillow' is loved by 10 million viewers, but as a movie director, I think it's a great time to make a movie and it's a very fun timeThere was also a brief moment when he became an unexpected box office director with a confession of "Damyo". Immediately after finishing the `Pillow', I dreamed of making another movie that would be so popular that I thought about the next movie, but I was completely wrong. I wasn't the director of a box office movie from the beginning. He is a director who started with the hope of making a movie that I can enjoy watching. But at some point, I witnessed myself making a strange operation to make a box office movie. 'Wow, I've gotten weird'Why can't you get your act together' I think I've had a time of self-blame for about five months' he confessed.
He said "Some people sometimes look forward to the next 10 million box office hits, and I completely abandoned my greed. The audience is really scary. I know exactly how much the coach does his best and makes it with all his might. First of all, I have to make a movie that feels fresh and fun. Success is the next problem. It took me a while to throw away these useless thoughts, but now I'm completely sober."

You can't make a movie just with the Avengers "Damyo" for the sequel. Shouldn't there be a tomb first? We need a big story to dig into. The character of 'Fillage' is so good, but we need a solid story that connects it. Still, on one side of my mind, I imagined that in the case of "The Seedlings", if I solved it for a long time and made it into a series, an interesting series would come out. "I don't want to make the same sequel as the previous one. I'm not sure I'll make a more interesting second movie than the first one. If someone does it for me, I think I'll be able to give a big round of applause and support."
Director Jang is preparing an occult water based on Vampire. He "The next work is preparing the stories of blood-sucking people. In a word, I'm preparing a vampire, Dracula story. In fact, vampires are really religious characters. Among the Christian denominations, I am trying to create a new story by melting the Eastern Orthodox Church. I think I'll go back to where I was and make an interesting movie again. This time, I'm going to focus on the movie a little faster and make it."
He said "Certainly, theaters these days are like spicy chicken noodles. Each movie should have a firm color, and it is spicy and stimulating like spicy stir-fried chicken noodles, but I think I should have a charm that keeps pulling once I eat it. However, if you focus too much on stimulation, the unique taste of the movie disappears. I want to bring joy to the audience while balancing that well. The most pleasing review at the time of 'Wimyo' was 'Time has gone by so quickly'. The favorable reviews that I was immersed in the movie enough to forget the time were the best compliments and compliments to me more than any other words. The goal of the next movie is to make a movie that will be `soon' \" The Blue Dragon Film Awards feels like a year-end party that can end this year happily with many twists and turns. There is a certain feeling of comforting each other by gathering together at the after-party of the year-end party. I don't think I'll forget it because I think I made him go through an after party full of anger. I will also be a director who visits the audience with interesting movies."
