The Korean-style Exorcism film "Lion" is set for summer release with Park Seo-joon, Ahn Sung-ki and Woo Do-hwan.
At the entrance of Lotte Cinema Counter in Seoul on the morning of the 26th, a report on the production of the movie "Lion" Footage was held. Actor Park Seo-joon, Ahn Sung-ki, Woo Do-hwan, and director Kim Joo-hwan attended the production.
"The Lion" depicts the story of the martial arts champion Yonghu (Park Seo-joon) meeting with the Guma priest Anshinbu (Ahn Sung-ki) and confronting the powerful evil (), which has left the World in turmoil. It is a reunited work by director Kim Joo-hwan and Park Seo-joon of the film "Youth Police" (5.65 million people), which dominated the theater in summer 2017, and presents a completely different genre.
Regarding the moment of the work, director Kim Joo-hwan said, "I have been to France once before, and I have seen a statue of an archangel holding a demon. There is a huge conflict. There are Universes such as Congering and Marvel overseas, and in Korea, there is such a World view, so I wondered what many people could fight. In the meantime, it seems that the "lion" has begun. I decided to "lion" after seeing the sculpture. "
"Our film is a film with a battle of good and evil, a film with conflicts between those who fight for good and those who take their own advantage through evil," he said briefly.
Park Seo-joon played the martial arts champion Yonghu, who faced evil in the play. He is a martial arts champion called the envoy, and he has long been closed to distrust of the World after losing his father as a child. After a nightmare, I meet with the bride with the wound of the unknown hand that suddenly occurred, and I know about the power of SEK in the wounded hand and the existence of evil hidden in the World. He will return to the screen two years after "Youth Police."
"I feel nervous and trembling. I think I will show a different look than I have shown in the past. It was released last summer, but I will say hello again this summer. I hope you feel our movie coolly in the theater. "
Park Seo-joon said, "I did not know what the story was until I saw the 'lion' scenario." "Can not it be made in our country?" I wanted to, but after seeing the Lion scenario, I thought, 'Would it be the most intense role I can show at my age?' When I talked, there were great things hidden. In some ways, it could be a challenge to the character. I think I can show visually interesting elements to Korean audiences. "
Asked "Why should it have been Park Seo-joon?" the director said: "It's a strong character with Action added to the exorcist genre, here's a dark character with severe scarring and deficiency. It is new that the main character is growing. I wanted to work together naturally, and Park Seo-joon can do it, but I do not know what I do. "
Park Seo-joon said, "When I saw the scenario, I wanted to do 'Action because I tried', but as I went through the day, I wanted to say, 'This is not the sum that ends today.' (Laughing) It would be very difficult to shoot. It was much harder because I had to pay attention to angles when shooting. There were key CGs in our movie, and it was difficult to postpone it by filling it with imagination. But at the same time, I thought I could grow up one step after shooting. "
Ahn Sung-ki took charge of the priesthood of Kuma who chased evil. A priest from the Vatican, a member of the Kuma priesthood Arma Lukis (the weapon of light), is looking for a powerful black bishop of evil who lurked in Korea. He is on duty with all his strong beliefs and good will, and he is amazed at the presence of the dragon in front of him when the latest man who helped him leaves and is at risk alone. It is a person who feels that the wounds on the hands of the dragon are not unusual.
"This movie seemed to be me," said Ahn Sung-ki. "I have been active for a few years, but I have been in movies every year, but I have few meetings with the audience. I thought I should meet with a lot of audiences through "Lion." The character of the bride is very attractive. I had to do it. "
"I thought I could show great energy. When I get older, it is easy to feel old. I want to be able to do something even though I am old," and "I want to give you strength." So this movie was good, "he said." I thought that the safe house had a long sense of Kuma, so I should look skillful. When I do something, I feel serious and charismatic. Instead, when I left work, I tried to express such a person who was as warm as my father and even more humorous. "
Regarding Ahn Sung-ki, director Kim Joo-hwan said, "I thought that the end king should come out when there is a Kumasa in many media. As Ahn Sung-ki came out, the necessary points for Catholic World were filled. I thought you were the best. "
"It was very good, actually Park Seo-joon was a son," said Ahn Sung-ki, who co-worked with his juniors. I did what I did when I was worried about the scene, but fortunately I was glad to follow it well. If you define Park Seo-joon in a word, it seems to be a mass of charm, and in a way it seems cool. "
Park Seo-joon said: "Ahn Sung-ki was really like a father, I first met him through this work, and he's a teacher to me. I called him teacher at first, and he said, "Let's just be senior." He said he looked older. That part felt pleasant. When I first started the movie, I was burdened, but I was dependent on seeing you. By the end of the film, I met you and thought about life a lot. It was like a father," she smiled.
Woo Do-hwan also said, "When I get older, I felt like I wanted to be like Ahn Sung-ki, Park Seo-joon senior. I can not forget the memory of eating rice and playing screen baseball after shooting, and I want to live an Actor life for a long time while being loved like this. "
"I'm still muttering, I still mumble when I sit in the bath," said Ahn Sung-ki, who memorized the Latin ambassador for the Kuma scene.
Woo Do-hwan digested the evil-spreading black bishop Jisin, a mysterious figure surrounded by veils, with an outstanding talent for penetrating and exploiting opponents' weaknesses. Jisin, who takes his own consciousness toward the existence of evil in a secret space, begins to crack in the plan due to the Anshin and the dragon, and begins to circle around them.
"I did not see the scenario for the first time and I was not drawn well in my head. I did not have the confidence to be implemented. I would like to see another World. 99.9% of the respondents who chose "lion" are thanks to Kim Joo-hwan. "
Host Park Kyung-rim said, "Park Seo-joon, Ahn Sung-ki, did you two appear in this movie with a few percent belief in the director? "Ahn Sung-ki said," I was from the time of the scenario. If I was dead, I would have said my name was 'safety', Park Seo-joon said, "As far as I know, the bishop invited Ahn Sung-ki to the premiere of 'Youth Police'. I was already waiting for senior Ahn Sung-ki, I've been talking about it since before the scenario, so it's almost 100%."
Woo Do-hwan, who plays mainly villains in the movie, played villains in "The Master" and villains in "The Lion". In fact, after The Master, all the villain scenarios came in. Lion is a villain, but Choices wanted to show other evil. He wanted a villain with a clear reason, not a friend who indiscriminately harmed people. Later, as you can see in the movie, he was an intelligent criminal and I felt attracted to that part. "
Park Seo-joon, who is about to release 'Lion', recently surpassed 9 million after 'Metabolic' starring SEK, following the Cannes Golden Palm. Although it appeared briefly in the early part of the movie, it took on an important character and left a strong impact. Choi Woo-shik, the main character of "The Lion," is raising expectations with SEK. Park Seo-joon and Choi Woo-shik are also known for their best friends in the entertainment industry.
"If you work with people who are humanly communicating, you will get good results. I met a lot with Mr. Woo-sik and Seo Jun. I talked about my favorite Actor movie, and I thought there were some points that I could do. It is more meaningful than SEK appearance. I think I can see a little bit when I see the movie. "
In addition, the director mentioned his previous work "Youth Police" and said, "It is difficult to compare 'lion' and 'youth police'. There was no work led by two young Actors in Chungmuro, and I tried to save freshness in 'Lion'. 'I have not seen this, and I hope you will feel that it is fun and fun in our country.' "
Meanwhile, 'Lion' will be released on July 31st.
