The Peninsula Jjim Sauna is a very popular way to relax among the people of the Peninsula, second only to the karaoke room. So Lim Sung-hoon chose such a place as the scene that condenses the sadness of the movie "The Anchorman".
The first person to be caught in the shot is Cha Tae-hyun. He is sitting on the far right, facing the camera from his side, holding a half-peeled hot spring egg in his hand and eating it with soy sauce.
Cha Tae-hyun's boss, played by Yoo Jae-seok, sits cross-legged opposite Cha Tae-hyun. He has gray hair and old age makeup on his face. He is holding a stack of flower cards in his hand and flipping through the patterns on the flower cards one by one.
, seems to be remembering something.
The camera turned and moved to the left side of Cha Tae-hyun. Park Bo-young and Wang Suk-hyun came into the frame. Both of them looked restrained. They were playing movie roles this time. They were invited to the sauna as guests of a radio singing competition. On the surface,
It has nothing to do with the radio host Cha Tae Hyun.
The camera zooms out and pans 180 degrees to the door. Park Bo Young's ex-boyfriend, played by G-Dragon, is hiding in the corner of the door.
Behind him, the kindergarten principal played by Lee So-yeon came to the sauna with a bag in her hand. Suddenly she stood there and took out her flip phone from the bag. The three words "Lim Sung-hoon" appeared on the screen of the phone.
Passed by in a flash.
The screen split into two, and Lin Chengxun appeared on the other end of the phone, standing at the other entrance of the jjim sauna.
The next moment, everyone entered the sweat sauna room. Seven people were sitting or standing with different expressions. They very cleverly traced an ellipse of reincarnation in the camera. This irregular ellipse seemed harmonious, but the seven elements that made up the ellipse were all different.
At this point, the relationship between these seven characters is vaguely related but at the same time confronting each other.
Lin Chengxun planned to pause the time of this picture to give it a sense of ritual like the confrontation in Akira Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai".
These seven people, plus Huang Zhengnan's mother who did not appear in the movie, represent the eight sufferings of life.
Birth, old age, illness, and death are painful, separation from love is painful, resentment and hatred are painful, seeking and not getting it is painful, and the five yin beings are painful.
These eight sufferings of life are not described in detail in the movie. They are hidden in the past or future of the lives of these eight characters. They are said to be hidden threads, but they are hidden too deeply. If no one interprets this comedy too much,
, I’m afraid it’s hard for anyone to see it; but even so, when the audience watches this comedy, there will always be a faint sadness lingering in their hearts, which will not make them sad and cry, but will always touch their hearts inadvertently.
These eight hardships in life are what Lin Chengxun wants to talk about in this "Extraordinary Anchor".
In the camera, Cha Tae-hyun is silent, burying his head in his mouth and eating hot spring eggs. His butt is always restless, moving away from his daughter and grandson bit by bit, his eyes turning to avoid Park Bo-young's eyes from time to time. This time
Every little detail reveals his thoughts.
Nam Joo-hyun cannot accept the fact that he is a thirty-six-year-old single aristocrat but has a daughter and grandson. This can be seen when he unconsciously moves away from Hwang Jung-nam. Cha Tae-hyun performed this well, with that kind of embarrassment,
Depression and cowardice are vividly displayed.
Nam Joo Hyun, played by Cha Tae Hyun, has a very simple life goal. It is not like living happily with his daughter and grandson like in the final perfect ending. All he wants is to become famous and become a popular idol. For this reason, he can wear various masks in front of his boss.
, agents, and even a few fans, but the eight hardships in life are that you can't get what you ask for.
Among the seven people who entered the room, none of them, including Lin Sung-hoon, could express the character in such a three-dimensional and full way like Cha Tae-hyun. After all, he is a movie actor who has passed his prime, and he is better than the rest on the basis of acting.
many.
Except for Lim Sung-hoon, who has lived in two generations, the best performance among the others was actually Park Bo-young, who was 16 years old and had only one idol drama acting experience, but not Lee So-yeon, a veteran actor.
Unlike Cha Tae-hyun's understanding performance, she added all her enthusiasm to the role of Huang Zhengnan. Her big almond-like eyes looked at Wang Xixuan with a hint of motherhood. Unlike Cha Tae-hyun's erratic eyes, her gaze started from the beginning.
From the end, she kept an unblinking eye on her goal. The special growing environment created Huang Zhengnan's strong personality, but her fragile self-esteem made her unwilling to bow her head and compromise after being kicked out by her father.
Perhaps, being born as a human being made her feel sorry for the hardship;
Corresponding to this is her mother who has never been seen in the movie. She is probably the one who cherishes life the most. When she was young and unmarried, she became pregnant, and her daughter made the same mistake again. She chose to let the flower of life bloom every time, but fate changed her.
Death is painful;
Liu Zaishi had mottled hair on his temples and expensive cosmetics could not hide the age spots on his face. In this warm sauna room, he actually felt a sense of life force passing away. He held his favorite flower card from childhood in his hand, and in his mind
But he doesn’t have the face of a playmate, and being old always means suffering, but never the relief of looking down on everything.
The kindergarten principal played by Lee So-yeon sat together with Lim Sung-hoon. The girl's expression was filled with excitement and tears, and she was suffering from love and separation;
Lin Chengxun's expression was cold, and the ring on the table was still warm from the roots of his fingers. On the surface, Lin Chengxun could not see any of the eight hardships of life. In fact, the original script was not like this. Lin Chengxun was not this character. This role belonged to Xu Sol.
Smart, but with the industry gangsters like S Entertainment, Lin Chengxun can only catch up and get it on the shelves by himself.
The script needs to be changed temporarily, which is very troublesome! But Lin Chengxun said that there is no big problem. All adverse things in the world can be solved by incurable diseases, so Lin Chengxun looks pale in the camera, and a corner of medicine is exposed in his trouser pocket, with "Slow Grain Leukemia" vaguely written on it.
Four words: disease, pain that cannot be cured by medicine.
Quan Zhiyong plays a role in the play that is caused by love and hatred, and by jealousy. As the male protagonist who stole the forbidden fruit and had Huang Jidong, he reunited with Huang Zhengnan but because of an unexplained misunderstanding, he
He was resentful of Nam Zhuxian, and therefore thought that Huang Zhengnan was a money worshiper who put money first. Resentment and hatred were the perfect fit for him.
Among the last seven, only Huang Jidong, a six-year-old child, seems innocent, ignorant, and naive, but fundamentally, seven of the eight sufferings in life are caused by him. He is a thread, and one thread is connected to the other seven.
Everyone has a connecting thread, and the seven sufferings in life are caused by him. Huang Jidong is the last suffering, the suffering of the five yin blazing.
The seven sufferings of life are connected by the suffering of the five yins, and are woven into a web called the suffering of reincarnation to wrap around this movie. It is like the sky above our heads, visible and intangible, but it is always looking down above our heads.
us.
...
After the filming of the group portrait scene was completed, Lin Chengxun held the camera alone and watched the scene just now, not missing every frame.
Movies are an art called deception in the hands of the director. What the audience sees, hears, thinks, and thinks are all controlled by the invisible hands given to the movie by the director.
And this art called "Extraordinary Anchor" has now had a satisfactory opening for the director.
