Korean Entertainment: Little Umbrella of Happiness

On the outskirts of Shuiyuan City, in a school that went bankrupt in the past two years, the film crew led by Kim Ki-duk officially moved in yesterday.

I am not here to film a school drama. The second and third floors of the school have been perfectly renovated. A large part of the story in this movie script takes place in the hospital, but in fact, in larger hospitals,

It is difficult to apply for a long-term filming, and there is no confidentiality at all when going to a TV station's filming base.

So Li Huanxi and others finally chose to rent a school for renovation. Relatively speaking, schools are more suitable, because hospitals rarely have buildings of this size. If there are buildings of this size, they are usually in urban areas. Even if they go bankrupt,

The building was easy to sell, and there were also some school scenes in the script.

At this moment, the academic office on the second floor of the school has been arranged into a multi-person ward with three beds and a TV hanging on the wall. Many staff members are there at the moment.

Everyone looked miserable at this moment, and everyone's eyes fell on the little girl sitting on the bed in the middle, wearing a white dress and a down jacket and crying.

"Director, why don't you contact So-won's mother? Don't make the child cry if this continues!" Cha Seung-won, who was standing by the bed, said to Kim Ki-duk with a slightly panicked expression.

Regarding taking on the filming of this commercial film, firstly, he was introduced by Jin Xulu, and secondly, Li Huanxi’s script and the product concept of shooting this commercial convinced him. In addition, it was indeed a big production, so he agreed. Anyway, Li Huanxi

There was no mention of endorsements, it was just filming an advertising movie, and Li Huanxi's company also offered a sufficient price, Cha Shengyuan really couldn't think of a reason to refuse.

Cha Seung-won was born on June 7, 1970 in Anyang, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. In 1988, Cha Seung-won became a model and entered the entertainment industry. In 1995, he starred in the first TV series "Song of the Wind". In 1997, he participated in the filming of the first movie "Seoul Holiday"

.In 2000, he attracted attention for starring in the movie "Fire City".20

In 2003, Cha Seung-won won the Best Actor Award at the KBS Drama Awards for "The Bodyguard" and the Best Actor Award at the 39th Baeksang Arts Awards for "The Liberation Day Amnesty." In 2008, he starred in the action film "Retribution"

". In 2009, he won the SBS Drama Awards for Male Actor in a Mini-Series for "City Hall".

As an actor who has been in the entertainment industry for more than 20 years and has been in the entertainment industry for more than 15 years, Kim Ki-duk and others did not have any opinions on his acting skills. Li Huanhua, a layman, even less, not to mention that this was his suggestion.

In terms of image, regardless of his true personality and the image created by his works, if we only look at his appearance, he is an absolutely mature and handsome man, especially the aloof urban man's temperament, which is the most satisfying factor for Li Huanxi.

There are three important characters in the advertising script "Searching for Happiness" written by Li Huanxi.

The first one is Park Bo Young as the heroine. She auditions for the role of a fashionable and charming urban white-collar woman, but suffers from neurasthenia and often has nightmares.

The second one is the male protagonist played by Cha Seung-won, a psychiatrist and Park Bo-young's psychological counselor.

The third one is the howling little girl next to me.

The script seems to be a redemption-like story, but also full of some horror elements, but this is really for a movie.

As a safe product advertisement, it is more like a warning and accusation story.

In order to make the filmed things become a topic and become popular, Li Huanhua decided to spend money on special effects. He also implanted scenes from the popular "Inception" in his memory, which is "Inception".

Dream".

Of course, Li Huanhua doesn't have the ability or the time to study "The Interpretation of Dreams" to make the topic of dream stealing more scientific. Similarly, he has no real idea of ​​making a science fiction film. In reality, this film

The movie cannot be said to be a true science fiction film.

What Li Huanxi has to do is to bring the multi-layered dream scene into the advertising script he created.

In the setting of the script, the psychiatrist Cha Seung-won conducted the experiment is also a member of the American Dream Research Association, and the dream theory in "The Interpretation of Dreams" is highly respected. After there has been no progress in treating Park Bo-young, who has been plagued by nightmares for a long time and has neurasthenia.

, suggesting that you enter dreams to find the root cause.

Here, Li Huanxi directly borrowed from Inception, using a drug called somnacin and a machine to stay awake in dreams and achieve the effect of dream sharing, and all these stories in "Searching for Happiness" come from American sleep dreams.

Provision of research.

In fact, it is impossible to use drugs like somnacin to enter other people's dreams. However, some drugs can indeed significantly regulate our sleep, such as modafinil (modafinal), which can keep people awake all the time.

, there are also some new sleeping pills that can put people into "super sleep."

However, Li Huanxi did not want to make a science fiction blockbuster related to dreams. Applying the setting in "Inception" felt that it was enough.

Similarly, Li Huanxi did not follow the setting of dream levels, but only borrowed the method of dream detachment, and also proposed the side effects of this kind of dream treatment, such as mental damage, brain death, etc.

In the script, Cha Seung-won and Park Bo-young will enter the dreamland four times in total. The first time they enter is in school, and they see the sixteen-year-old Park Bo-young, who is like a school goddess. She attracts the attention of men wherever she goes, until she is captured by the school.

The same man of the hour is dating a handsome guy,

Then the man in the dream turned black and started to want to kill the two of them. The handsome guy was brutally dismembered and had his chicken cut off. Of course, it had to be a harmonious version. At the critical moment, Cha Seung-won found Park Bo-young and helped her regain her waking consciousness while she was in the dream. Finally, through

The way the school roof fell left the dreamland.

The first experience made Cha Seung-won know that Park Bo-young's subconscious was extremely aggressive, and that such aggression was not towards outsiders, but more towards herself, which was completely contrary to his previous judgment.

Unable to determine something, Park Bo Young also decided to solve this problem because of frequent nightmares, so the two used drugs and machines to fall asleep again a week later.

What's surprising about this dream is that Park Bo-young, 60, lives in a beachside villa. The whole dream world gives people a sense of loneliness, and this time it's more from the perspective of Cha Seung-won, who has been hiding around him.

Watch Park Bo-young's life as an elderly person living alone as a bystander.

Until a woman with a very sexy figure and appearance appeared, and this woman had a quarrel with Park Bo Young. In the end, she even pulled out a fruit knife on the fruit plate and wanted to kill her. At this time, Cha Seung Won naturally saved her, and

Let her regain her sanity,

But what followed was the anger of the sexy woman and the crazy tsunami. This is where the first CG special effects appeared in the movie, and the director of Haeundae was responsible for contacting the team to produce this part of the special effects.

And it was filmed by him and Kim Ki-duk.

The sexy woman chased the two men crazily. The road that was originally empty when Cha Shengyuan came, suddenly appeared various terrifying weapons while escaping, such as... chainsaws.

In this scene, the two people fled to the lighthouse on the coast. When the tsunami hit, the two people fell from the top of the lighthouse to escape from the dream again.

And Cha Seung-won clearly heard the sexy woman calling Park Bo-young's mother.

Returning to reality again, Park Bo Young became weird and ended the treatment on his own initiative. He didn't look for Cha Seung Won again for two weeks. It wasn't until Cha Seung Won saw the news about Park Bo Young's suicide attempt in the newspaper that he hurriedly found the hospital. Only then did he learn about Park Bo Young's suicide.

Her parents told her that she committed suicide by cutting her wrists one day before and was discovered by her mother and sent to the hospital for immediate rescue.

After Park Bo Young's parents learned about Cha Seung Won's identity, they also knew about their daughter's nightmare, but they didn't know the reason at all. It stands to reason that Park Bo Young has always been a beautiful girl from the sky since school, and she has also been very difficult in society.

As soon as they started working at the club, they really couldn't think of the reason, but they couldn't ignore the situation. In the end, they hoped that Cha Seung-won, a psychiatrist, could help Park Bo-young recover.

Later, Cha Seung-won saw the silent Park Bo-young, but to Cha Seung-won's expectation, this time Park Bo-young wanted Cha Seung-won to take the initiative to help her fall asleep, but did not say any reason.

But Cha Shengyuan also wanted to help the girl, and finally chose to accompany her to sleep with her again.

This time, the dream that the two entered was the spiral corridor scene being constructed in the United States, but it was not the hotel in Inception, but a hospital...

In this scene, all Che Shengyuan saw were busy doctors and nurses, some quarantined severely ill HIV patients, and many middle-aged and young men and women quarreling, giving it a sense of all kinds of life.

But Park Bo Young was not seen. After searching for a long time, he saw Park Bo Young crying outside the operating room, and she kept saying things like "I'm sorry" and "It's still too late."

To Cha Shengyuan's expectation, this time Park Bo Young was completely awake and entered the dream world, even with a strong purpose. Just when he walked up to ask the reason, the entire space darkened and the lights disappeared for a few seconds.

, after the light returned, the doctors, nurses, and patients all around disappeared.

Only the traffic lights on the operating room kept flashing and changing, and there was a spine-chilling child's voice calling mother.

The lights went out again, and after a few more seconds, a little girl wearing a white dress with her hair loose and holding a doll appeared at the door of the operating room. She was probably only five years old.

Such a dream was so strange that Cha Shengyuan even had chills running down his spine. On the contrary, Park Boying raised her head excitedly, stood up and walked towards the little girl. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
