At a press conference for the movie 'Good News' held at the Beef Hill press conference of the Dong-dong Film Center in Haeundae-gu, Busan on the 19th, Hong Kyung said "The production company CEO and the producer gave us enough pre-production period"Thank you for enjoying the Japanese language skills"
The Netflix film 'Good News' is an invitation to the gala presentation at the 30th Busan International Film Festival. The film depicts a suspicious operation of people gathering together in 1970 to land a hijacked plane at all costs, and the megaphone is directed by Byun Sung-hyun of 'Bulhan: The World of the Bad guys'(hereinafter referred to as 'Bulhan', 'Kingmaker', and 'Gil Bok-soon'.
Hong-gyeong played Seo Seo Seo-myung, a lieutenant in the Air Force who was deployed in a secret operation. In response, he said "The ancient book existed, and the important person who was in that situation" appears in the intro of our movie, and the director reconstructed many parts of it with imagination. I thought a lot about how to solve the character that the director wrote in the script," he said.
In particular, Hong Kyung will even present Japanese lines in her work. On Hong-kyung's Japanese skills, Byun said, `I was surprised when Hong-kyung spoke Japanese. Usually, to act in a foreign language, you have to memorize the lines, but Hong-kyung starts studying Japanese hiragana, such as the Korean alphabet. I was surprised that he wanted to hear the story of the other actor."
Upon hearing this, Hong-kyung said, `I don't think it's very superior, and I'm a little embarrassed. The head of the production company and the producer gave me enough time. I owe it to the director, but being able to have a long pre-production period as an actor is an important factor for me without experience. The roles of the CEO and the producer were important. There is something embarrassing because (Japanese proficiency) is not proportional at that time. Thank you very much for your favorable comments."
Meanwhile, the 30th Busan International Film Festival will be held for 10 days from the 17th to the 26th around the Film Center in Haeundae-gu, Busan. 'Good News' will be released on Netflix on October 17.
