By working in the Korean cinema industry for more than 30 years, veteran actor Kwon Hae-Hyo cooperated with some of the biggest names in the scene and witnessed the rise of Korean cinema as a global cultural power.
Over the course of these three decades, KWON has also developed a tremendous pair with the director of the heavy film Hong Sang Sue, where he appeared on 12 of his films so far. In addition to the Hong Film Championship, Coone worked in titles like Training to Busan sequel peninsulaProvoking crime Bogota: the lost city And legal drama PVR 8.
Upon arrival at Berlinale for the World, the first Hong, Hong, What does this nature tell you?Coone tells the pluscinemaz.comthat he is attracted to Hong's long style, which has repeatedly new and free challenge to him as an actor.
“With other films, you know from the beginning to finishing what it will be, but with director Hong Sang Soo, it's not the case,” says Coone. “When I photograph my views, I don't know how you will turn. I don't know where my personality is heading, and there is no plan in this way. This style of guidance is really giving me freedom about my personalities. It is not about some of the fact that we are trying to find. I face the right at that moment, and it is like living in the scene, at the present time.
What does this nature tell you? He follows a young poet dropping his girlfriend at her parents' house and being restored. She collides with her father (who is played by Conon), meets her mother and sister, and ends up spending a long day together.
Kwon shares how director Hong provides famous texts to actors on the same day of the shooting.
“The actors usually have a lot of pressure before they launched a scene, whether it is a fighting scene or a really emotional scene,” says Conan. “They are worried about what about acting and photography. But with Hong Sang Soo, it's not so-you can access the site and then get the text program. It's really close before starting filming.”
The audience members will also be surprised by the knowledge that despite Hong's spontaneous style at work, there are very few lines or improvised lines in his films.
“Of all Hong Sang Soo movies, there are almost no advertising films,” says Conon. “Of all the thirty films he presented, if all the lines that came from improvisation and not the text, it is likely that the total is less than a minute. Even for a long time really – those who number more than 15 minutes – we still have to release the dialogue completely. ”
On the secret of his length in the show, Coone said that participating in NGOs (NGOs) has helped him maintain a feeling of life.
“Sometimes, actors and performance artists can live in a small world of entertainment, but I have been participating in many different activities, such as NGOs. I feel that I live not only as an actor, but as a person in society and communicate with many different people from different The fields. This is one of the reasons why I am still active in my career for more than 30 years.
“Also, in business, there are many actors, hundreds of thousands of actors,” says Coone. “Sometimes I wonder how to be different from other actors, but I think what really drives me is that I am not trying to be different, I just try to be myself.”
When watching the explosive growth of Korean cinema over the past three decades – from the regional influence to global power, Coone says that changes in Korean policy had a significant impact on cinema.
“I think there are a lot of great directors such as Park Chan-Look, Bong Joon-Ho and Hong Sang-SOO. Coone says:” What prompted the Korean film industry is how society has grown since the fall of the authoritarian regime in Korea and the difficult times we have passed. ”
“It is important that films are not related to unrealistic dreams or life, they must be around society and reality,” added Coone.
