Once for Kim Woo-bin to stop shooting completely, this high-reputation director is really an industry legend Ah has such a high reputation, so today we come together to understand him ~ Choi Dong-hoon Director's biggest advantage Choi Dong-hoon Director's inadequacies Choi Dong-hoon Director's righteousness Choi Dong-hoon Director's next step

With the continuous emergence of excellent works in the Korean film and television industry, audiences are increasingly admiring writers who can write high-quality scripts and directors who export high-quality works.

If Kim Eun-sook is the golden sign of the TV drama industry, then the golden sign of the film industry has to mention director Choi Dong-hoon.

In recent years, there have been more and more works on Korean social reality, crime, terror and other themes. And director Choi Dong-hoon is one of the directors who can perfectly integrate his own interpretation into the film. It is reported that in order to participate in his works, artists have lined up to audition.

"Choi Dong Hoon director" is a word of mouth and box office guarantee

Choi Dong-hoon started out as an assistant director. In 2004, he wrote and directed the crime film The Great Seoul Robbery, which was also his film debut. Although he is just starting out, he won the Newcomer Director Award at the 41st Korean Film Grand Bell Awards, the Newcomer Director Award and the Best Screenplay Award at the 25th Korea Blue Dragon Film Awards for this film, which opened up his popularity in one leap.

Especially since then, the "Old Thousand" filmed in 2006 has made his reputation another level. Although the original comic itself is very popular, he portrays the character personality in the film with extra delicacy, desire, greed, and hatred, which are reflected in this work. The film topped the box office within two weeks of its release.

Since then, he has filmed many high-profile movies such as "Tian Yuzhi" and "The League of Thieves". In particular, the film "League of Thieves" broke seventeen records in Korean film history, including the highest box office record.

He has since directed the action film Assassination, which tells the story of members of the Independence Army, key members of the Korean Provisional Government, and professional killers joining forces to assassinate the pro-Japanese faction, which has not only gained recognition in South Korea, but also has similar historical factors and is also popular in China.

There are two reasons for the popularity of director Choi Dong-hoon's works, one is the character with a distinct personality, and the other is the famous lines that make people remember endlessly.

Choi Dong-hoon is from the Department of Chinese Literature, and he is known for 'being able to perfectly reflect the face of the times or fully display the character's personality with his lines. Most of the classic lines that appear in works such as "Old Thousand" and "League of Thieves" were conceived by him personally. For example, "I am a woman from Ewha Womans University."

When filming, in addition to the content of the script, sometimes the shooting will allow the actors to add their own understanding of improvisation, but Choi Dong-hoon is not.

He is very loyal to the script, not only in the early stage of planning for the character conception and script production is very careful, but also personally shows the actors the details during filming, so that the actors can show more delicate acting skills. So he also has such a famous saying: film directors are not only directors, but also people who want to become actors.

Although the works of director Choi Dong-hoon have almost all won high box office and good reputation, in fact, he also has places that have been criticized by the audience. The biggest opinion given by audiences who like his work is: "Lack of staying power". They think that the audience is easy to fall into the plot in the early stage of the movie because of the character image and famous lines, but after the plot reaches the climax, it begins to lack stamina, which will make people feel that their attention has declined.

Director Choi Dong-hoon shows true righteousness through anecdotes with actor Kim Woo-bin.

In 2017, Choi Dong-hoon collaborated with Kim Woo-bin on the film "Eavesdropping", but because Kim Woo-bin was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer at the time, film shooting was completely interrupted. At that time, Choi Dong-hoon said: "Until Kim Woo-bin is cured, the film production will be retained indefinitely", showing righteousness.

At the same time that the news of Kim Woo-bin's recovery was reported some time ago, some media said that Kim Woo-bin would star in a new science fiction work directed by Choi Dong-hoon after his recovery.

After "Assassination", after 4 years, Choi Dong-hoon will shoot his own new science fiction movie.

The film is divided into two parts, and the new work has not yet made the title and storyline public.

Kim Tae-ri and Yoo Joon-yeol have already decided to play the protagonists, and it has not yet been decided whether actors such as Kim Woo-bin and Jeon Ji-hyun, who have been mentioned by the media many times, will play the role.

The industry's high reputation, loyal to the script polishing details, and righteous to the actors, such a director is really superb! Looking forward to his next work!
