[Nightline Invitation Seat] Super luxurious casting 'alien + human', the back story told by director Choi Dong-hoon

<Anchor>

is one of the top box office directors in Korea.

Director Choi Dong-hoon has released a new film for the first time in 7 years.

Director Choi Dong-hoon of <Alien + Human>, a movie that is collecting topics by putting things that have never been seen anywhere in one place and unraveling it in his own way, was invited to the night line today (26th).

[Choi Dong-hoon/Movie Director: We also had a very difficult time filming because of Corona.

I hope this movie will be a movie that allows those who are tired of Corona to go to the theater and watch the movie again.]

[Choi Dong-hoon/Director: This film is about alien airships, alien robots, and aliens from an unknown world who come to Earth and are tasked with fighting them, and humans.

At the same time, however, something similar happened in the Goryeo Dynasty.

So it can be said that such events are a kind of sci-fi adventure drama in which time gradually touches.]

[Choi Dong-hoon/Film Director: Everyone always says that there is no new story under the sky now, but I think there is always a new way of composition.

It is a film with a kind of Y-shaped structure.

This is a story where this world and this world meet as they go along, and it is a structure that the audience made predictions about while watching the movie and thought that the drama of this movie would be a little more interesting.

It's a fun movie that you can watch while watching the movie.]

[Choi Dong-hoon/Film Director: In the case of actor Kim Woo-bin, we had already planned to do a movie together before this movie, but that plan was a bit futile.

It's already been 5 years since I was planning an extraterrestrial + man.

I feel like that.

What makes me think that making a movie is a part of life is that the process of Kim Woo-bin's health recovery and the process of planning and making this film are similar.

I thought that the actor was going to be the fate of this movie.

So he was very happy to work with Kim Woo-bin and learned a lot.

In the case of actress Yeom Jung-hwa, I got to work on the third project together.

I'm a very lucky director.

An actress who is truly unmatched in the delivery of dramatic expressions and emotions, people don't know how well actress Yeom Jeong-hwa is good at comedy.

So, through this film, I wanted to show some of Yum's talent through this movie, and when I was thinking about what kind of actor to put next to him, I thought of Jo Woo-jin without hesitation.]

[Choi Dong-hoon / Film Director: At first, it was just a very fun and natural way for me.

So, probably because I lived in the countryside when I was young, we always gather and play in the countryside.

So, those methods were familiar to me, but now that I think about it, the people we meet in our lives are all important people.

Because everyone lives by meeting the main characters in that person's life.

So, it's like a movie, within a certain limit, I came to think of what it would be like if all the people in the movie were the main characters, and as I wrote the screenplay in that way, I gradually developed my own style.]

[Choi Dong-hoon/Film Director: In this movie, there is a battle scene of alien aircraft taking place in downtown Seoul.

But now, in the middle of the battle, there is a scene where an alien airship is chasing So Ji-sub and pushing him into an underground parking lot.

We moved all 100 buses parked there, and we prepared it for three days and filmed it in one day.

I think those scenes will now be enjoyed by the audience as well.

This is a story that connects time, where time meets time.

So, there are characters played by Ryu Jun-yeol or Kim Tae-ri in the past, and sometimes I meet myself as a young person.

like a dreamlike fantasy.

I hope those scenes become memorable scenes again.]

[Choi Dong-hoon / Film Director: I have to work hard to make a movie.

However, most of the Korean directors don't make wasted movies and put a lot of effort to breathe with the audience, and I learn a lot by watching that.

But I think I would be satisfied if I made a movie in my own way for a long time by working hard and studying hard, so that the audience only thought that the movie gave me a little bit of fun in my life.]
