Chapter 362: "Extreme Escape" preview
The next day.
Kim Ki-hyeon received the premiere ratings of "Hotel Del Luna" from Lee Ji-eun.
The average is 7.3%, and the highest is 8.7%.
It ranked first in the ratings in the same time period and was also the drama with the highest premiere ratings on TVN in 2019.
It ranks 4th in the ratings of all TVN drama premieres.
The drama not only set off a craze for watching dramas in the peninsula.
It also attracted much attention in China, with a score of 9.0 on Douban, and directly became a hot topic.
It can be said that if there is no problem with the subsequent plot, this will definitely be another phenomenal drama.
Therefore, all the above achievements made Lee Ji-eun very proud.
I sent Jin Qixuan an emoticon with hands on hips early in the morning.
In response, Jin Qixuan did not discourage her enthusiasm and sent an emoticon pack that read "My wife is so awesome."
In fact, just take a look at the ratings when the show first airs.
It’s really great if the story doesn’t have a bad ending.
After all, the Hong sisters’ dramas are notoriously bad at ending.
First there was "A Korean Odyssey" and then there was "The Greatest Love"; basically they all started strong but ended low, and all the ones that could have had bad endings had bad endings.
I don’t know if “Hotel Del Luna” can escape the “bad ending” curse.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
The crew of "Light and Shadow" began filming the scene where the protagonist Lee Jung-tae enters the workplace.
This is also the beginning of the main plot of the film.
——Lee Jung-tae, who is full of justice, is about to be taught his first lesson in the police workplace by Cho Sung-ha, who follows the rules of slacking off.
Li Zhengtai’s first master, Zhao Chenghe, was an experienced police officer who had been in the profession for more than 20 years.
In these twenty years, he has never been shot, never been injured, never fired a gun, and never even caught any criminals.
Because, no matter what happened, he would not get out of the police car.
After all, safety comes first.
As long as he uses this police uniform to make his presence felt, his job is done.
If he sees any illegal transactions, he just needs to honk the horn and those people will disperse.
The life creed of veteran Zhao Chenghe is——
It's just a few dollars a month, why risk your life?
Inside the set.
Kim Ki-hyeon and Liu Haizhen were listening attentively to Lee Chang-dong's explanation of the play.
After listening to the story.
Jin Qixuan and Liu Haizhen went to the side to act again.
Twenty minutes later.
As the sound of hitting the board rang out.
Li Zhengtai, played by Jin Qixuan, wore a neat police uniform and marched to the front of his master Zhao Chenghe who was waiting for him. He saluted and shouted energetically:
"Reporting to Officer Zhao Chenghe, I am the newcomer Li Zhengtai, and I will be your partner in the future."
“Wow~”
Liu Haizhen looked Jin Qixuan up and down with a smile, opened his arms, and said with a smile: "Don't give me that, kid, there's no need to be so formal. Come, hold one."
Hearing this, Jin Qixuan looked surprised and said, "Really?"
"certainly!"
As he spoke, Zhao Chenghe, played by Liu Haizhen, patted him on the back enthusiastically and said with a smile: "Welcome to join the Busan Police Force. Now, let's go!"
"yes!"
Jin Qixuan's eyes lit up and he got into the police car happily.
“Crack!”
There's nothing difficult about this scene.
The main purpose is to establish Zhao Chenghe's character.
In a peninsula where hierarchy is deeply ingrained, the presence of such an outlier immediately creates a dramatic conflict.
After all, when the protagonist meets a master who never cares about status and has an eccentric personality.
There will definitely be a lot of interesting plots.
After the first scene, I saved two lines.
The crew then moved to a nearby closed block to film Zhao Chenghe's slacking teaching.
The sound of boards rang out.
Liu Haizhen drove slowly on the street.
According to the setting, they are on patrol at this time.
But if you look closely, you will find that the car is moving as slow as a snail, as if it is taking a walk.
Jin Qixuan naturally noticed this, but he didn't say anything.
Because he believes that this may be the unique patrol method of the veteran police officer.
At this moment, the radio in the car received a report from the police dispatch center:
"Everyone, please be advised. A robbery is taking place at the convenience store at No. 355, Pudong Street, Nampo-dong. Two suspects are armed and holding hostages. Please ask nearby police officers to go here immediately."
"Repeat that..."
Hearing this, Jin Qixuan, who was originally extremely bored, brightened his eyes and the corners of his mouth gradually curled up.
This is really like a pillow being given to me as soon as I dozed off!
However, just as he was about to ask for a fight, Liu Haizhen snatched the intercom and hung up.
"Silly boy, what are you doing?"
Hearing this, Jin Qixuan looked puzzled: "We are so close..."
"No, no, no. There are police officers closer than us. I've seen this happen a lot. By the time we arrive, someone will definitely be injured, and then the homicide squad will take over. So, there's no need for us to get close to the crime scene."
"But……"
"Don't say but."
Liu Haizhen rubbed his belly with a smile and said:
"My stomach is growling with hunger. Do you want to eat the best cold noodles with beef in this area?"
"All right……"
Although Jin Qixuan really wanted to go to the crime scene, obeying his superiors' orders was still the first priority.
"That's decided."
As he spoke, Liu Haizhen picked up the intercom, cleared his throat, and said:
"Dispatch center, this is Officer Jo Seong-ha and Officer Lee Jung-tae."
"Please go ahead."
"Just now a concerned citizen stopped us and reported to us that there was a suspect on West Market Street. We need to investigate."
"Got it. I'll report the situation and whether additional personnel are needed."
"over."
Seeing Liu Haizhen hang up the intercom, Jin Qixuan asked in confusion:
"Why lie?"
Hearing this, Liu Haizhen raised an eyebrow at Jin Qixuan and said with a smile, "This is to buy us more time to have a good meal."
As he spoke, the car, which was originally slow, suddenly picked up its speed.
Seeing this, Jin Qixuan gave a fake smile, then turned to look out the window and sighed helplessly.
“Crack!”
Sidelines.
Director Lee Chang-dong announced that this performance has come to a temporary end.
When he finished watching the replay of the scene on the monitor screen, he nodded with satisfaction.
In fact, this kind of simple dialogue scene is the one that tests an actor's basic skills the most.
Because there are no strong body movements in the dialogue scenes to attract the audience's attention, nor are there special effects and big scenes to divert attention.
Actors need to rely entirely on the rhythm of the lines, the strength of the voice, and the pitch of the voice to express the character's inner activities, so that the audience can experience the character's psychological and emotional changes.
Once the acting is not up to par, it will be immediately noticeable.
However, there is nothing wrong with Kim Ki-hyun and Liu Haizhen's performance, whether it is their expressions, demeanor, or lines.
“This one just passed.”
Lee Chang-dong held the intercom and said:
"Save one, and we'll move on to the next one."
…
The six scenes in the morning went smoothly.
At half past twelve, the crew took a lunch break and started to have lunch.
Because when they were filming the eating scene just now, Jin Qixuan and Liu Haizhen ate a lot.
Therefore, the two of them hid in the nanny car, enjoying the air conditioning and filming the scene that was to be shot in the afternoon.
Compared to the crew that Jin Qixuan had been in before, it was a high-intensity job that required 25 to 30 shots a day.
The shooting plan of the "Light and Shadow" crew can be described as extremely easy.
Just 12 to 16 shots a day.
After all, art films are mainly about polishing.
Jin Qixuan likes this rhythm very much.
Since there aren’t many scenes to shoot every day, he has plenty of time to delve into his next performance and the character’s inner transformation.
Not only Jin Qixuan enjoyed this rhythm, but Liu Haizhen did too.
His shooting schedule is one week.
But in fact, according to the progress of commercial films, his early scenes can be shot in three days at most.
Of course, that doesn’t mean these are the only parts he has.
Instead, the character of Zhao Chenghe was temporarily offline on the first day of the show.
The reason for going offline was that the two of them were just strolling around for the day.
When it was time to pack up, the protagonist saw that the new recruits who had joined at the same time all had bruises on their faces, and he felt very envious.
So, he complained to Zhao Chenghe in frustration.
Zhao Chenghe chuckled and took him to a nightclub to drink and play poker to relieve his boredom.
As a result, he suffered a heart attack due to excessive excitement and was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.
He will only come out to promote the plot after the protagonist Li Zhengtai "kills" his third master.
That evening, nine o'clock.
The crew finished work on time.
There are very few night scenes in "Light and Shadow", only about 20 shots.
And most of them are concentrated in the rivalry between Kim Ki-hyun and Hwang Jung-min.
therefore.
Jin Qixuan watched the second episode of "Hotel Del Luna" in the hotel on time again.
Prepare for Xiao Li's surprise test.
It’s just that the first episode was so popular.
The crew of "Hotel Del Luna" is rushing to film.
As a result, Xiao Li had no chance to take the exam.
When he had nothing to do, Jin Qixuan took a rare break from checking out the entertainment news.
As a result, this look.
The hottest gossip is the "Song-Song couple divorce" incident.
Although, this matter has been going on for more than half a month.
The key to Danone's continued popularity is that there have been follow-up revelations.
For example, Song Zhongji's brother posted a picture of "covering the sky with one hand", which is a metaphor for Song Hye Kyo.
Song Joong-ki's father frequently expressed his views on their divorce to the media and openly dissed Song Hye-kyo.
On the other hand, Song Hye Kyo remained silent and did not respond.
Even the "Peninsula's Tree Man of the Week" - Yoo Ah-in said nothing.
Based on his personality, he would definitely protect Song Hye Kyo if he knew the truth.
The relationship between Song Hye Kyo and Yoo Ah In can be described as good friends.
They both belong to UAA agency.
In the early days, there were only two of them in this agency.
Later, Park Hyung-sik was signed.
So, after thinking about it, Kim Ki-hyeon sent a question mark to Yoo Ah-in.
As a result, I didn't get his reply.
Lin Yuna's message came.
[Three days later at 4pm, there will be a VIP preview at the Myeongdong CGV Cinema, don’t forget to come. 】
【receive.】
After replying to Yoona, Jin Qixuan thought for a while and sent another message to Xiao Li.
[I watched the second episode carefully today, please give me some praise. ]
I waited for a long time but there was no reply.
Jin Qixuan smacked his lips, turned off the lights and went to sleep.
July 18th.
"Extreme Escape" held a VIP preview at CGV Cinema in Myeongdong.
Jin Qixuan also attended with Liu Haizhen.
Not to mention, Yoona Lin has quite a lot of connections in the film and television industry.
Those who attended to support her today included Hyun Bin, Son Ye-jin, Kong Hyo-jin, Uhm Ji-wan and others.
However, the sensation these people brought to the scene was not as great as that caused by Jin Qixuan.
When filming on the set, Liu Haizhen had no concrete idea of Jin Qixuan's popularity.
However, when he appeared on the photo backdrop.
Liu Haizhen intuitively felt what it means to be the "top of the top."
“Crack, crack…”
"Jin Qixuan, look here!"
"Look at me, look at me!"
"here!!!"
“…”
The crackling sound of flashes and photographers shouting "Look here" all demonstrate his extremely high popularity.
If you don’t know, you might think it was Jin Qixuan attending his own brand event! After the photo shoot.
Jin Qixuan and Liu Haizhen walked into the theater side by side.
At this point, the protagonist, Lim Yoona, hurried forward to greet them.
"Senior, Qixuan, thank you for coming."
Lin Yoona wore a white corset dress today, paired with a pair of high heels.
The slightly curly long hair falls naturally on the shoulders, adding a touch of intellectuality and gentleness to her temperament.
Maybe it was because she didn't dance enough, or maybe it was because she was padding with something, but at this moment the curve of her chest seemed fuller.
This makes her look very feminine even though she is already thirty years old.
I feel like I look better than when I was young.
"You're so welcome. I hope this movie does great at the box office!"
Since she is the protagonist today, she has to entertain many guests.
Therefore, the two of them didn't talk much to her. They just exchanged a few simple greetings and then sat down.
After sitting down, Liu Haizhen introduced Kim Ki-hyeon and Hyun Bin to each other.
"Hey, Senior, I'm your fan! I finally get to meet you in private! Can we take a photo together?"
Hyun Bin was a little overwhelmed by Jin Qixuan's enthusiasm and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
On the other side, Son Ye-jin covered her mouth and laughed.
If it were someone else, she would definitely think that the other person was just trying to get attention or curry favor with someone else.
But Jin Qixuan doesn't need it at all.
After all, overseas, he is more popular than Hyun Bin.
She had also heard people in the industry disparage Jin Qixuan.
However, all the artists and staff who have worked with him have given him humble, polite and enthusiastic comments.
From Liu Haizhen's willingness to introduce a friend to Jin Qixuan, it can be seen that this person is worth making friends with.
Seeing that Hyun Bin agreed, Kim Ki-hyeon immediately handed his mobile phone to Son Ye-jin and asked her to help take a photo.
"Thank you for your help, Senior."
"It doesn't matter."
Son Ye-jin took the phone with a smile.
Hyun Bin also took the initiative to put his arm around Kim Ki-hyeon's shoulders and leaned towards him.
After all, no one would reject the idea of a top star being their little fan.
“Crack!”
As Son Ye-jin pressed the shutter, the two completed the photo.
"Senior, can I post this photo on Instagram?"
Jin Qixuan took the phone, showed the photo to Hyun Bin, and asked.
"Of course, but you can call me senior."
However, Kim Ki-hyeon didn't know that Hyun Bin graduated from Chung-Ang University.
But it did not stop him from climbing up the pole.
"Okay, bro!"
After saying that, Jin Qixuan sent the photo to his Instagram.
And wrote: "I met a living idol! @Xuan Bin"
Before the movie starts.
The four of them had a very happy chat.
After a while, the guests gradually arrived.
The preview officially begins.
As a disaster movie, "Extreme Escape" has a very tight rhythm.
Ten minutes into the show, it reached its first climax.
The city where the protagonist Yongnan lives is filled with poisonous gas and citizens need to evacuate quickly.
As a rock climbing expert and the president of the rock climbing club in college.
Yongnan, who had been unemployed at home for many years after graduation, relied on his excellent rock climbing skills to escape from one dangerous situation after another with his family.
The audience in front of the screen was also nervous and excited as the protagonists escaped time and time again.
As a comedy, the movie's jokes aren't awkward.
As a disaster film, the special effects and thrills of this movie are sufficient.
It can be said that this movie is a benchmark among commercial films.
Lin Yuner's acting skills in the movie are also remarkable, especially the aggrieved crying scene on the rooftop, which was performed very well.
As the movie ended, the lights slowly came on.
There was applause at the scene.
Although due to the nature of the preview.
No one can tell how much encouragement, how much support, and how much sincerity are contained in this applause.
