The movie “The Spider’s Nest”, which will be released in Taiwan on October 13, held a global international online press conference yesterday, inviting reporters from 12 countries to join together across time differences. Director Kim Ji-woon and the main actors Song Kanghao, Wu Zhengshi, Lin Xiujing, Quan Rubin (Quan Yuyun) and Zheng Xiujing also attended the interview.
The movie “Spider’s Nest”has been sold to 183 countries and attracted the attention of global audiences. An online global press conference was also held. Director Jin Zhiyun said that through this work, he revisited his love for movies and the meaning of movies to him. The work also describes the dilemmas that all directors may encounter and need to overcome. He will use comedy techniques to express how the directors in the film break the existing rules. The director also said that he set the background of the film in the 1970s, the year when the director was born, and wanted to show the difficulties encountered by Korean films in that era.
National Best Actor Song Kanghao plays a director in a movie for the first time. He was asked if it is really possible for him to sit in the director’s chair in reality? He modestly stated that at this stage, he believes that the role of “director”is beyond his capabilities, so he has no plans in this regard. In this work, what he hopes everyone will pay attention to is not the identity of the director, but how to carry forward his passion to the end and achieve his goals.
Wu Zhengshi, who always wants to challenge new roles, believes that the biggest challenge in this work is that the director dared to choose him to play the role of a superstar actor in the film! He also revealed that because everyone was filming a “movie within a movie”in “The Spider’s Nest”, it was often unclear whether the director Song Kang-ho in the film was calling “Cut”or the real director Kim Ji-woon. Shout Cut! I praise Song Kanghao for his realistic acting.
As for Lin Xiujing, because of the era setting and reference to many classic old movies, she had to perform with a special tone and movement. Quan Rubin (Quan Yuyun) plays a producer in the film, and she also said that more and more female workers have begun to appear in many filming scenes, and perhaps she has not been able to fully express their characteristics., but hope to show their passion for movies in their works. Quan Rubin also emphasized that this character has no excuses for what she likes and just goes forward bravely and pursues what she wants. This is quite similar to herself.
Krystal, who was born in a girl group, has also met with everyone as an actress in recent years, and she answered directly in English throughout the process. She said she was often asked “Which one do I prefer, acting or singing?”MC originally wanted her to choose an answer anyway, but Krystal felt that acting was indeed more challenging for her, but her past as a girl group idol It is also a very precious memory, and there is really no way to make a choice.
Song Kanghao has collaborated with director Kim Ji-woon five times, and he also likened the 25-year process to a long journey. Every time, he is always curious about where the next destination is? Or what kind of transportation will you take? I am also looking forward to a new adventure this time. After hearing this, the MC directly asked Song Kanghao: “Have you actually traveled with the two directors?”Song Kanghao quickly denied that “we are not in that kind of relationship”and clarified that he was just likening the two to be traveling companions on the road to the movie.
Song Kanghao also mentioned that when the audience mentions Korean actors, a few faces will always come to mind. Maybe it is because he is “ordinary-looking”and is often thought of by directors, so he has so many opportunities to collaborate. He also dragged Wu Zhengshi next to him into trouble, saying that Wu Zhengshi might have the same appearance as him. Wu Zhengshi smiled bitterly and said, “I have no choice but to agree with Song Kanghao’s statement.”
Finally, Song Kanghao said with emotion that there are currently many channels and platforms for everyone to enjoy movie works, but the charm of watching movies in the cinema is still irreplaceable. I hope everyone can invest in the movie “The Spider’s Nest: A New Universe”and feel the magic brought by the movie. The director also added that he hopes that through this work, he can reawaken audiences who have long forgotten how beautiful and charming movies are, and make everyone fall in love with movies again.
