On the afternoon of the 11th, a press preview and press conference for the movie 'Ghost' (directed by Lee Hae-young) was held at Yongsan CGV, Yongsan I'Park Mall, Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Actors Sol Kyung-gu, Lee Ha-nui, and director Lee Hae-young attended the event.
In 'Ghost', there are two major fight scenes between Sol Kyeong-gu, who plays Junji, and Lee Ha-nui, who plays Park Cha-kyung, and the first of them is a fight scene with bare bodies without guns or swords. Sol Kyung-gu and Lee Ha-nui attracted attention by creating a tense atmosphere despite the clear weight difference.
Regarding the fight scene with Lee Ha-nui, Sol Kyeong-gu said, "It wasn't uncomfortable at all. Rather, I was tired of my strength. I think it was very difficult because actor Lee Ha-nui had long limbs, so it was a struggle. Because it was a fight with strength without technique," he said. “It was truly amazing,” he said.
Lee Ha-nui said, "I filmed my first action scene in the second half of the film. I lived with that scene in my head for six months. I thought I had to prepare my physical strength for this. Unlike action scenes that are put together and filmed beautifully, there has to be a struggle of strength and emotions. “Because it was an action scene, it took a lot of effort to do the take,” he said.
Lee Ha-nui continued, "I thought I had to fight against Yeokdo-san. In the finals, I acted while drawing Yeokdo-san. I threw my fist into Sol Kyeong-gu, but he didn't come out. I said, 'Wow, that's really Yeokdo-san.' 'Either you die or I die, you die. “It was either live or I live.”
Director Lee Hae-young said, "When I first planned the action scene, the first thing I wanted was for it to never be seen as a battle between the genders. I thought it would be nice not to have the feeling of men and women fighting." He added, "A battle between equal characters. Each person has their own position and rank insignia." “I thought it would be nice to separate genders and really stick together, as the saying goes,” he said.
He then said, “Of course, Sol Kyung-gu’s physical strength is superior, but at the moment when we were filming, I took about two shots and wondered if senior Sol Kyung-gu was okay. Actor Lee Ha-nui was very strong,” and added, “Actress Lee Ha-nui described Sol Kyeong-gu as a mountaineer, but Lee Ha-nui was Ma Dong-seok.”
'Ghost' is a story about the desperate struggle of suspects trapped in a remote hotel under suspicion as 'ghosts', spies planted by an anti-Japanese organization planted at the Japanese Government-General of Korea in Gyeongseong in 1933, and the unstoppable operation of the real 'ghosts' to overcome suspicion and escape. .
Released on January 18th.
