Story introduction
This is a work describing the profound friendship and life of four friends, which truly shows a thought-provoking betrayal. Yumin wants to get rid of the gangster world and desperately wants to go back to his girlfriend Meizhen. The only thing that worries Zhezhong is his sister. Three friends conspired to steal money from Douman, the leader of a rival gang, and then prepared to start a new life. Under the leadership of Kang Xie, they successfully won the money. But Zhezhong began to be jealous of Yumin's trust in Kang Xie and Dao Wan and their close relationship, so he gradually betrayed his friends. They were caught by the fighting men who came for revenge. Kang Xie's leg was amputated, Dao Wan became an addict, and Yumin took all the responsibilities after the police intervened and pleaded guilty. Two years later, Yumin was released early for good behavior. Yumin decided to forgive Zhezhong's betrayal and tried to use the money left to Kang Xie two years ago to get Kang Xie and Dao Wan to leave the gang. But to his surprise, Kang Xie lost all his money, Dao Wan became addicted to drugs, and Zhezhong became worse. Douman decided to let Yumin join his gang. The more Yumin wants to escape, the more fate obstructs him, and he falls into despair and has no way out. Betrayal, conspiracy and revenge surround these men, leaving them in a situation where they can't turn back.
Wonderful point of view
In the public poster, two male models, Quan Xiangyu and Song Seung Heon, are topless, showing their muscular bodies created through exercise. The main picture shows Song Seung Heon and Quan Xiangyu smiling side by side. The yellowed old photos and the cracks torn from the middle show the fate of Quan Xiangyu and Song Seung Heon in the film From Friends to Old Enemies. The words "After turning around, we became enemies" and "Destiny should aim at a friend's heart" on the poster also left a deep impression on the audience.
character introduction
Jin Yumin-played by Song Seung Heon
Tough enough to be reminiscent of a beast, he is trusted by colleagues and leaders in the organization. Although he is not good at expressing his feelings at ordinary times, no one wants to be his opponent, because important people can burst into explosive force that is out of anyone's control. After losing everything because of my good friend's betrayal, I feel unbearable anger and sadness about my betrayed friend, and the inner flame of revenge is about to burn everything. ...
Zhezhong-Played by Quan Xiangyu
A man is born with an evil desire to control everything, and he can do anything to survive. As long as he is excited, he is desperate to be a gangster, which has kept him alive until now. His eagerness for success and his desire for victory turned into his greed for money, which in turn became his reason for betraying his friends. Even in an irreversible situation, Zhezhong will not give up, he will go where he can. This is Zhao Zhezhong.
Daowan-Jin Renquan ornaments
He has sharp eyes and gorgeous knife skills that are different from ordinary people. On the surface, he is just an ordinary man, but his sharp eyes and gorgeous knife skills under sunglasses can make him a brave soldier in an instant. After Zhezhong's betrayal caused four friends to fall apart, Daowan became addicted to drugs. Even so, he is still obsessed with the glory of the past four groups, so his resentment against the philosopher who destroyed everything in the past is growing day by day. When his dependence on Yumin became lasting, his anger reached its peak.
Yinghuan-played by Zhicheng
A man with a gentle smile and quick brain is the brain of four people. Before the betrayal of Zhe Zhong, Yong Huan always played the role of strategist in the quartet. Yong-hwan silently guards his friends behind his back with his clever mind. Although he is not a stingy person, he deeply admires the profound friendship accumulated between Yumin, Zhezhong and Daowan. After the betrayal in central Zhejiang, he silently watched his former friends fall into intrigue as a bystander, but since he was involved in this struggle, he would not always lose. ...
Eun-young played by Park Han Byul.
Yumin's woman, caught in the whirlpool of four men's fate, lost herself, and was a person who was afraid of this cold world and chose to escape. During the time when she was hiding in the dark, she couldn't forget her past with Yumin.
titbits
Director's "Tell me the truth first"
When Hae-gon Kim met Kwone Sang Woo and Song Seung Heon shortly before the film was released, he joked, "If it is successful, I will ask you two to make my next film, and replace the darkness and tragic of this film with a bright and sunny script. If the audience reacts badly, they can only meet on the road and turn around like strangers. "
Poster story
In other words, the filming of movie posters can be regarded as a rare "eye trip" opportunity for the staff. Song Seung Heon and Quan Xiangyu's natural clothes-hanger figure, coupled with the need for them to shoot topless, has added a selling point: the old photos of light gray and yellow are side by side, and the two smiling people look so close, but the folds that tear them apart indicate the breakdown of friendship and the opposite fate. The word "be the enemy" embellished next to it highlights this theme more profoundly. Once this version of the poster, which combines vision and content, was exposed, it caused a heated discussion between the media and the audience and achieved good publicity results.
Scratch: The planner committed suicide.
He is the producer of Jin Haikun's last film "Unbearable Lightness of Love". Zhao Zhenwan, the planning director of this film, committed suicide at home in the middle of filming, which made the crew cry.
Song Seung Heon VS Quan Xiangyu: "Top Actor" Storm Event Book
The propaganda tactics of this film can be described as one after another. The injustice of the protagonist alone is already the fate of the real version.
"Love is stronger than gold" edition
In 2002, the two leading men collaborated in the movie "My windfall". At that time, Song Seung Heon was very popular with Love in Blue, and Quan Xiangyu was still a teenager who had just entered the entertainment circle. But after many years, the identity is different. Quan Xiangyu is entitled to sit side by side with Song Seung Heon. First of all, Quan Xiangyu chose this film not only because of its tragic beauty, but also because his philosophy degenerated in desire and because of his struggle with conscience. More importantly, his close personal relationship with Song Seung Heon. Many years ago, they were interviewed and said that they hoped to play a movie together in the future.
"Jealousy and Jealousy" Edition of Handsome Man
With the development of filming, it came out that Quan Xiangyu was dissatisfied with the producer's focus on Song Seung Heon, and said on his homepage that he had already got the script of fate, and he was not interested in the role of Yumin. He thought it was more difficult and more delicious to play the role of Zhezhong. Later, he learned that Song Seung Heon also participated in the performance: "It is certainly very happy to cooperate with old friends, but professional actors will not choose works that are not suitable for them for friendship and other things." There seems to be disdain between words.
"Harmony and Wealth" Edition
Many years ago, the story that Song Seung Heon and Quan Xiangyu often played golf together was always a beautiful story in the circle. "Two people who haven't cooperated for six years have had a fierce acting collision with unprecedented enthusiasm in their fate" should be the most appropriate statement to describe the relationship between them. The thin face under the retro coat, a little quiet and dull, Yumin hides a repressed beast in his heart, while Zhezhong, who has sharp eyes and strong reaction, is just the opposite. There is a fragile and sad side under the grumpy appearance. In fact, the two roles have their own space to play. Song Seung Heon and Quan Xiangyu also went to the scene to support and learn from each other's performances when they didn't have their own scenes, and went to the gym to exercise together after filming-no wonder there were martial arts scenes in the film that insisted on not using body double, and they all went out in person. Quan Xiangyu even said with a smile: "In the more than 20 days of shooting in Jeju Island, he has almost become my closest person-getting along with each other day and night." It turns out that when they have a rest at night, they will gather in Kwone Sang Woo's room to play fifa online games.
Fan vs. version
The shooting location originally chosen by the crew is a valley in Seoguipu City, which is a relatively remote and unknown place. However, fans in Song Seung Heon and Quan Xiangyu seem to have the ability to enter the earth, and they have just found their idols. In just a few days, the tiny Jeju Island was as red as a bee colony. It goes without saying that improving local international popularity will promote the development of tourism and other related industries. Therefore, not only did it give the green light to shoot in some scenic spots, but even the Jeju Island Imaging Committee also contributed 25 million won to sponsor the film as an encouragement. In addition, when the crew moved to Seoul to shoot, Ji-seob So, a good friend of the two leading actors, also came to visit the class because the shooting location was near his home, which provoked the fans of the three parties to chase after each other, which once hindered the shooting progress.
"adding fuel to the fire" edition
Chi Cheng, who joined later, made the film a real "major league of retired Hanbok male stars". Ying Huan, played by him, is a member of the "Friendship Map" of Jin Yumin and Zhe Zhongyuan. His kind and calm personality is in the middle, and he is a friend who does not lose himself in the cruel and decadent gang struggle and fights with Yumin to the end. He said that his role may not be as sharp as Song Hequan's, but since he played the peacemaker between Yumin and Zhezhong, he stood on Yumin's side against his former girlfriend and had a good opportunity to hone his acting skills, so he decided to play, regardless of whether he was a supporting role. Although the three leading men seem calm, their supporters have launched a "competition" through the internet and other means.
