Chapter 364 Super Sweet Trailer Released
August 12th.
The first trailer and official poster of "When a Man Falls in Love" were officially released.
On the poster.
Jin Qixuan rested his head on Li Zhien's legs with a comfortable look on his face.
Lee Ji-eun lowered her head and looked at him lovingly, while her right hand gently stroked Kim Ki-hyeon's cheek.
There are a few big words written in the lower left corner of the poster.
"Fate is a bridge that binds two people together."
Just by looking at the poster, you can feel the deep love.
In the trailer, the two of them were showing their affection like crazy.
The first clip of the trailer shows Han Taiyi, played by Jin Qixuan, aggressively collecting debts from vendors, and the background music is full of dark melodies.
But then, the scene changed.
While collecting debts, Jin Qixuan fell in love at first sight with Zhou Haoting, played by Li Zhien, the daughter of the debtor.
From then on, Han Taiyi began his journey to pursue his wife.
Jin Qixuan also transformed himself from a gangster into a pure-hearted bootlicker.
At the same time, the prelude of the interlude song "Perfect" sung by Kim Taeyeon sounded.
In the picture, Kim Ki-hyeon and Lee Ji-eun are dancing in a nightclub.
As he slowly walked behind Lee Ji-eun and put on headphones for her, the people around him who were dancing wildly were instantly blurred.
In the entire picture, there are only two people gazing at each other affectionately.
Then, Kim Taeyeon's recognizable granular tone sounded:
"I found my love"
"Dear, just follow me and fall in love"
"I never thought that you were the one I was waiting for"
"We who fell in love are like innocent children"
“…”
Along with Kim Taeyeon's singing, the trailer shows Kim Ki-hyeon's various funny, sweet and romantic scenes of chasing his wife.
In the A version of the trailer, most of the shots that appear are clips that do not affect spoilers, and they mainly show the sweet interaction between the male and female protagonists.
End of the trailer.
Director Han Dong-wook imitated Lee Chang-dong's composition technique and shot a super beautiful kiss scene between Kim Ki-hyun and Lee Ji-eun.
Under the sunset.
Cherry blossoms are falling all over the screen.
Jin Qixuan lowered his head slightly and kissed Li Zhien gently.
Li Zhien also stood on tiptoe, tilted her head back, and slowly closed her eyes.
The whole picture is pure, sexy and super beautiful.
With the release of the trailer.
This song "Perfect", written and composed by Lee Ji-eun for the Sony headphone brand and sung by Kim Taeyeon, topped the seven major mainstream music charts in the peninsula at the same time.
"It's so good. I've been playing it on repeat for three hours."
"This song is really perfect for When a Man Falls in Love. It feels like it was tailor-made for the show."
"Sister is going crazy!"
"It's so beautiful. Taeyeon's voice is like a blooming universe. It makes me reborn, as if I was riding a rocket into space!"
"IU+Taeyeon, what kind of magical combination is this???"
“…”
As the saying goes, when some people are successful, others will be frustrated.
As soon as the sound source robber "Xin Ting Tai" released a song, the newbies like Nuwa and Yiji who had just released songs were miserable.
Thinking about it this way, I feel a little sorry for our Yuqi...
at the same time.
A large number of press releases about "When a Man Falls in Love" also appeared on the Internet.
#Kim Ki-Hyun and Lee Ji-Eun's beautiful kiss scene# #Kim Ki-Hyun's acting is explosive, perfectly interpreting what "a man stays young until he dies" means# #"When a Man Falls in Love" trailer released# #The secret hidden in the lyrics of "Perfect"# #"When a Man Falls in Love" official poster released# …
Online, discussions about "When a Man Falls in Love" have almost dominated the screen.
The two protagonists at the center of the attention are currently attending a meet-and-greet event at Central University.
Following the host's announcement.
Kim Ki-hyun and Lee Ji-eun walked hand in hand onto the stage with the version A poster of "When a Man Falls in Love" printed on it.
As a superstar of our school.
As soon as Jin Qixuan appeared on the stage, the audience burst into thunderous cheers.
Looking at the huge crowd below the stage, Jin Qixuan smiled and waved his hand, saying:
"Hello everyone, I'm Jin Qixuan. Today, I was invited by Principal Nim to return to my alma mater to hold a promotional meeting for a movie."
"Last year, when My First Brother was released, I saw on the school forum that many students were bashing me because the instructor asked them to write a review. I wrote down all your IDs."
“This year, you still have to write.”
Jin Qixuan's words caused the students at the scene to wail instantly.
"Brother Xue, we are one!!!"
"Wow, wow, senior brother, don't do this, I protest!"
"Brother, please let us go. The instructor uses you to torture us every day!"
“Help!!!”
“…”
Looking at his younger classmates who were wailing, Jin Qixuan laughed even more happily.
At this time, Lee Ji-eun, who was standing by, smiled and came to the rescue of her juniors, saying, "Don't tease them. Our drama is a romance film, not an art film for people with disabilities. It doesn't have any elements of after-sales experience."
After that, Li Zhien greeted everyone in the audience:
"Hello everyone, I'm IU."
"wow~"
“IU is awesome!”
"IU I love you!"
“…”
Compared to Kim Ki-hyun, Lee Ji-eun's popularity is not inferior at all, after all, she is also a national-level solo.
The atmosphere on the scene has been aroused.
The host did not hesitate and went straight to the point with the cue card.
"I just read the online reports backstage. The number of views of our trailer for When a Man Falls in Love has exceeded five million in just four hours. The topic of the movie has also been in the top ten of major forums. How do you feel about this?"
Hearing this, Jin Qixuan turned to Li Zhien, who shook her head.
Seeing this, Jin Qixuan picked up the microphone and said with a smile:
"I feel that I benefited from the overall film market environment, and I also thank everyone for their support."
"So, with all the hype surrounding the trailer, are you expecting what the film will do at the box office?"
The host asked.
This time, Kim Ki-hyeon signaled Lee Ji-eun to answer first.
Seeing this, Li Zhien thought for a moment, picked up the microphone, and said with a smile:
"This is my first big-screen work, so it's great if everyone likes it. As for the box office performance... I hope it can exceed 5 million viewers. After all, the person next to me is known as the 'box office panacea'."
To be honest, the result of 5 million moviegoers is still a bit "conservative".
Three million admissions is the break-even point for this film.
If you break even, you’ll make a profit.
However, after all, this is Lee Ji-eun's first big-screen starring role, so it is normal to be conservative.
"So, what about Qixuanxi?"
The host asked.
"In fact, I don't have much confidence. After all, the theme of the movie "When a Man Falls in Love" is a romance film, which is considered a niche theme. It would be great if it could have 5 million viewers."
Lee Ji-eun has made a "conservative" estimate, so Kim Ki-hyun can only follow his husband's lead.
"Besides, people are saying on the internet that I'm some 'box office magic drug', but in reality, I'm just a 'third-rate actor'."
Jin Qixuan's words made everyone in the audience burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha, senior brother really knows how to joke."
"Brother, if you are a third-rate actor, then what are we?"
"That's right, senior brother, don't underestimate yourself!"
“…”
In fact, what Jin Qixuan really expected to achieve at the box office was "The Wolf Boy", which would break the box office ceiling for romance-themed films.
"The Wolf Boy" was released in 2012, with two versions in total.
The box office of the normal version was over 6.6 million viewers, while the director's version had over 400,000 viewers.
The two versions have a total of 7.06 million viewers.
Therefore, Jin Qixuan's goal is to break the record of 7.06 million moviegoers.
To be honest, it is a bit difficult for this movie to achieve a box office result of tens of millions of viewers.
After all, the market for romance films is only so big.
It does not have as wide an audience as disaster films, action films, police and gangster films and other genres.
Just like the "Light and Shadow" he is currently filming, if the literary and artistic theme of social satire was replaced with a commercial police and gangster revenge film.
The box office can easily exceed 10 million viewers.
After all, this movie stars Kim Ki-hyun and Hwang Jung-min, two of the only two actors in the peninsula who have never starred in a bad movie.
"IUxi, you said on the show before that you hope to play Qixuanxi's mother. Why do you have this idea?"
The host suddenly changed the subject and asked.
Hearing this, Jin Qixuan turned around and looked at Li Zhien in surprise.
You are so good, Lee Ji-eun with thick eyebrows and big eyes, I treat you as my wife, but you want to be my mother? !
Not only Lee Ji-eun was amused by Kim Ki-hyeon's expression, but the younger students in the audience also laughed.
After a moment, Li Zhien explained with curved eyes: "We have already played lovers, so I think it would be a very special experience to play mother and son."
"Some time ago, I reviewed my performance in Scarlet Heart Ryeo and indeed found that I had many deficiencies in my acting skills. So I wanted to challenge myself in a costume drama again (cooperating with him)."
Hearing this, Jin Qixuan nodded slightly, picked up the microphone, and said:
"I can accept you as my mother, but I have to play the role of father myself."
Upon hearing this, the audience burst into laughter.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Senior brother really knows how to have fun!"
“…”
Seeing the sudden change in tone, the host brought the topic back in time.
He began to introduce the characters played by Kim Ki-hyeon and Lee Ji-eun in the drama and their background stories to the audience.
Then, he asked: "Did you two have any interesting stories on the set while working together? Can you share them with us?"
"have."
This time, Li Zhien did not give Jin Qixuan a chance to speak, and took the microphone and complained:
"He likes to improvise too much. As long as the director is not paying attention, he will act according to his own ideas. There have been several times when I couldn't follow the scene."
"oh?"
Hearing this, the host immediately became interested and asked:
"Can you tell me more about that?"
"For example, there was a scene in the play where he was going to do me a wall-bang, but he improvised and actually took off his pants! I was so dumbfounded at the time that I had no idea what to do."
"Is it so exciting?"
The host looked at Jin Qixuan in surprise.
"Forehead……"
Jin Qixuan touched his nose awkwardly, picked up the microphone, and explained: "In that scene, I felt that taking off his pants could better express Han Taiyi's character. As for the final effect, you will know when you go to the theater to watch it."
"Well, I think everyone will go to the theater to watch the movie after it is released."
The host nodded, looked at the cue card, and then asked:
"According to the films that have been scheduled in the market, our film "When a Man Falls in Love" will compete with "Bad Guys" starring the original cast in September, and "Tazza 3" which has good box office and word of mouth. Do you think it has a chance to win the box office championship during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
"Bad Guys" is a crime action film starring Ma Dong-seok.
"Tazza 3" is a crime-themed gambling film, in which Lee Kwang-soo also stars.
Both works have the support of fans of the series, so their base is naturally larger than that of "When a Man Falls in Love".
However, the issue needs to be considered from many perspectives.
For example, the hype created by the publicity and promotion department, the screening rate of theaters, the box office appeal of the actors, the reputation of the film, and the quality of the film that makes the audience watch it twice or three times.
Jin Qixuan didn't know what the quality of the other two movies was.
But he is very confident about his film.
After all, the box office performance of the movie "When a Man Falls in Love" is to maintain the top five and strive for the top seven.
The other two films must have the appeal of over five million viewers to compete with "When a Man Loves" for the box office champion during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
However, how easy is it to get 5 million moviegoers? "Do your best and leave the rest to fate."
Jin Qixuan picked up the microphone and said lightly.
"That's right. The film market is unpredictable. No one can say which movie will have a good box office and which movie will have a bad box office. It still depends on the word of mouth after the release."
After the host finished speaking, he started some game sessions to test the couple's tacit understanding.
In response to this, the two of them naturally did not blush or get nervous, and answered fluently.
After all, we know each other well, so how can we not have a tacit understanding? ...
After the meet-and-greet at Chung-Ang University.
The two of them spent a brief, tender moment in the nanny car.
After all, we haven't seen each other for more than a month, and we both missed the familiar scent and embrace of each other.
Jin Qixuan stroked Li Zhien's little face in his arms and said:
"How is the album preparation going? Can it be released before the concert?"
"No, I can't make it."
Lee Ji-eun's schedule is really tight.
After completing the concert to celebrate his tenth anniversary of debut at the beginning of the year, he directly joined the cast of "Hotel Del Luna".
Now that I have taken a break from "Hotel Del Luna", I have to continue the roadshow and promotion of "When a Man Falls in Love".
She hasn't had time to attend to her own advertising endorsements, commercial performances and other announcements.
This also means that she usually has to prepare for her new album in the early morning after finishing her work.
For this album, Lee Ji-eun really worked hard.
We recorded several versions of the DEMO for the title song "Blueming".
Actually, the songs could be produced, but the album concept was not good.
Her hairstyle for this album will have to have several colors.
If it is released too early, the album concept will be leaked, which will lead to a decrease in market interest.
After all, no one wants to see that the album they worked hard to prepare has no one paying for it.
Hearing this, Jin Qixuan asked:
"How are your preparations for the concert going?"
"It's easy to rent a venue, but it's a little hard to recruit staff."
"The lighting, stage design, props, special effects, makeup, security and other teams all need to be the best in the industry. Although the price we offered is very sincere, it is difficult for them to adjust their schedule, so we are still in communication."
Li Zhien said with a frown on her face.
"Give me more money. After all, this is the only official announcement."
"Yeah, that's what I thought."
"Then don't come with me to record variety shows during this period, and concentrate on preparing for the concert. I'll ask Kwang Soo to accompany me on a few shows."
Jin Qixuan rubbed Li Zhien's little head and said gently.
"But, I remember that you were invited to appear in "15 Nights on a Business Trip". Can it be done by just the two of you?"
"What do you mean by can do it? There is no script for that show, it's all improvisation to create the show effect. With my Kwang Soo brother's "Variety Saint Body", can't it be done easily?"
Jin Qixuan pinched Li Zhien's face with amusement.
Hearing this, Li Zhien thought about it and laughed.
"Well, the early promotion is all up to you~"
As she said that, IU raised her face and kissed him.
"Well, our declaration of love also depends on you."
After saying that, Jin Qixuan lowered his head and blocked Li Zhien's soft and sweet lips.
