On September 11, 2008, just two months from shooting to editing to release, director Zhang Xun's first debut film "Movie Is a Movie" chose a low-key day like the 11th to hold a simple premiere, announcing that the movie was officially released.

The release time of the movie was discussed by investors Ahn Jae-sing, So Ji-sup and director Zhang Xun. He gave up the New Year competition at the end of the year and instead made a relatively off-season September as the release time. The previous summer season just ended, and the only Korean local movies released at the same time were Kim Soo-ro's latest movie "Our School et" which also chose to be released on the 11th, and Jeon Do-yeon Ha Jung-woo's "A Beautiful Day" which was released later.

One of these two movies is a relaxing campus comedy movie, while the other is a heavy sad romance movie. The theme has no repetition and there is no competitive relationship with "Movie Is Movie". An Zai-ying and the others also saw this and chose this release date to increase the vitality and competitiveness of the movie.

On September 11, at the premiere of "Movie Is a Movie" at 6 pm, the press conference was filled with dense reporters from the beginning, holding various long guns and cannons in their hands. The sound of flash shutters kept rising and falling during the entire press conference, and the press conference was filled with a hot atmosphere of interviews.

After all, although "Movie Is Movie" is not a big investment or a big scene, its starring lineup is definitely a front-line actor's plastic surgery, and So Ji-seok's first movie has returned. An Jae-seok's second movie after "The Chaser" at the beginning of the year, An Jae-seok and So Ji-seok's first collaboration movie, and the two first-line actors performed on the same stage.

In the opinion of reporters, the reason why "Movie Is a Movie" is not promoted is because there is no need for that publicity at all. Just standing with An Jae-sing and So Ji-seok has become the best publicity cover, just like the scenes of the two in the movie poster, it is enough to attract the audience to watch the movie.

"I would like to ask An Jae-sing Xi, what it feels like to star in the same movie with So Ji-soo?" At the press conference of the movie, Zhang Xun, as the director, became a role with a background in the movie. All questions revolved around An Jae-sing and So Ji-soo, who were the starring actors, started asking questions. Of course, Zhang Xun was also happy. After all, the more attention the star received, the more attention the movie received, and he wanted to do so.

In the face of the reporter's question, An Jae-sing performed easily, "I feel very happy. I am also very grateful to So Ji-soo. After all, if it weren't for Ji-soo's appearance, I wouldn't have such a good performance opportunity..." Today, in order to cooperate with the promotion of the movie "Movie Is a Movie", An Jae-sing deliberately wore a white suit like in the movie, with a white tie and white leather shoes all dressed from head to toe. And So Ji-soo's dress next to him also came from the black outfit in the movie, which made people feel strongly in contrast, and the flash light kept lit up on the two of them.

"So, what kind of reason does So Ji-seok make you choose to star in a movie with An Jae-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-sing-s

But obviously, the reporter's wish has failed. As So Ji-seok, who is also questioned by media and even more questions, there are naturally no good omissions for this situation than An Zai-sing. "When I just got the script of "Movie Is Movie" from director Zhang Xun, I felt that Suda's role was tied with An Zai-sing in my impression, so I naturally convinced him to star in the movie." He talked about his experience of finding An Zai-sing to star in the movie. During the interview, So Ji-seok did not forget to joke and make fun of it, and seemed very relaxed and comfortable. "Besides, I will certainly not refuse to be able to star in the movie with box office guarantee..."

"Haha~" A laugh came from the press conference, and An Jae-sing in front of the camera also showed a helpless expression. Indeed, when two movies were starring in a row, the media, which naturally had good things, put him in the box office guarantee. As the second movie he participated in this year, a large number of media also watched the box office situation. Let's see if An Jae-sing continues to maintain the "box office guarantee" title, or whether it has become a box office poison, and has suffered a tragic defeat.

...

After the movie press conference was completed as usual, it was time to judge the official release of the movie. As the main creators of the movie, Ahn Jae-sung and director Zhang Xun and his group were naturally arranged to the movie tickets of the cinema, which were directly opposite the big screen. In fact, for those who have watched the movie, they know that the seats for watching the movie are actually not as good as the front. The real good position is the seats in the middle of the cinema. The seats in the front are too dazzling, both the sound and the light effects are too dazzling. Because after the movie is over, they still have to go up to make the final statement, so Ahn Jae-sung and others have to sit there.

Under the dim light, the opening of the movie "Movie Is a Movie" began to appear on the big screen. As the movie began, the sound of the entire cinema gradually became smaller, and the attention of the audience gradually shifted from the leading actors in the front row to the screen. In the dim cinema, An Yan quietly turned his head to see the number of people in the cinema. Through the dim light of the movie projector, he could vaguely see the dense figures behind him.

Although today is not a festival or a holiday, the attendance rate of the movie "Movie Is a Movie" in this Seoul theater still reaches 89%. In other regions, second-tier cities such as Busan also have an attendance rate of more than 70%, which is enough to show the strong popularity of the starring actors Ahn Jae-sing and So Ji-soo. You should know that because the time from filming to release is too fast, there is no time left for Ran An Jae-sing and So Ji-soo to promote. The promotion period for ordinary movies that last for one month or half a month is only one week for them to promote. Under such a bad situation, there is still such a good attendance rate. The support of their fans is indelible.
Chapter completed!
