After 3 years, Zhao Yincheng, the "long-legged male god", returned to the big screen with the new film "Mogadishu".
According to the latest data released by the Korea Film Promotion Commission, "Mogadishu" was released for 22 days, and the cumulative number of viewers reached 2,524,355, breaking the highest box office record of Korean films that has been maintained for nearly a year, and winning the first Korean film box office this year.
Movie "Mogadishu"
At the same time, "Mogadishu" also set a record of the fifth highest grossing of all the films released in the past two years.
The top 4 films are "The Ministers of The South Mountain" (2020), "Save Me from Sin" (2020), "Peninsula" (2020), "Black Widow" (2021).
Directed by Yoo Seung-wan and starring Kim Yoon-seok, Cho In-sung, Heo Joon-ho and Koo Kyo-hwan, the film "Mogadishu" tells the thrilling story of staff who infiltrated the embassy in Mogadishu, the somali capital, where civil war broke out in 1991.
The film is not only exciting in content, but the behind-the-scenes story is more dramatic than the main film.
Through the movie "Mogadishu", Cho Yin-sung not only formed a good friendship with Kim Yoon-seok, Heo Joon-ho and Gu Jiaohuan, but also developed a sense of trust in director Yoo Seung-wan.
In Zhao Yincheng's heart, although Liu Chengguan is a big man with a rough appearance, his heart is full of humanistic care, if he can cooperate early.
Zhao Yincheng
In fact, Director Zhao Yincheng and Director Liu Chengguan had the opportunity to cooperate 6 years ago.
At that time, the producers of the movie "Old Hand" proposed that Zhao Yincheng play the role of the arrogant chaebol III Zhao Taihui, but Zhao Yincheng refused the invitation because he did not want to repeat the role.
In the end, Liu Yaren took over the role of Zhao Taihui and left a golden sentence of "really obscure".
Zhao Taihui, played by Liu Yaren
One day many years later, director Liu Chengguan, representative Jiang Huizhen and Zhao Yincheng's agent talked freely together in the office of the production company Wai Rou Neigang, and accidentally mentioned Zhao Yincheng.
Talking about Zhao Yincheng when he was a child, he played in the nearby dream village Tucheng, Liu Chengguan proposed whether to contact Zhao Yincheng, and then the agent quickly agreed.
Liu Chengguan and Jiang Huizhen just wanted to meet with Zhao Yincheng, but they did not expect that Zhao Yincheng came with the idea of cooperation.
After the meeting, Liu Chengguan did not give the script, let alone reveal what role he wanted to play, but carefully asked Zhao Yincheng if he could cooperate?
Zhao Yin set up Ma and asked why not? So it was decided to star in "Mogadishu".
For Zhao Yincheng's sincerity, Liu Chengguan did not show it at the moment, but was deeply moved.
Not only that, director Liu Chengguan was touched by Zhao Yincheng again and again during the shooting.
In "Mogadishu", Jiang Dazhen, played by Zhao Yincheng, has many English lines.
Before filming, Zhao Yincheng complained that his English was poor.
But in fact, Zhao Yincheng's English is not bad, but very good, when he said "you are patboyretsiglet", director Liu Chengguan was completely shocked.
Director Liu Chengguan was not only amazed by Zhao Yincheng's performance, but also impressed by his humanity.
On the first day of filming, seeing Gu Jiaohuan, who felt a lot of pressure because of NG28, Zhao Yincheng immediately came forward to encourage and comfort him.
In the evening, Zhao Yincheng also secretly found director Liu Chengguan and said a lot of good things for Gu Jiaohuan before leaving.
What is even more valuable is that Zhao Yincheng has always maintained a humble and helpful attitude, no matter how tired he is.
Since the first collaboration was particularly enjoyable, director Liu Chengguan invited Zhao Yincheng to star in his next film "Smuggling".
"Smuggling" is a women's drama, starring Kim Hye-so and Lian Jingya, Zhao Yincheng's role is not much, at most it is a fringed male protagonist.
However, based on the trust in director Liu Chengguan, Zhao Yincheng still took over the role without hesitation.
Two consecutive works have been cooperated, which shows how deep the friendship between Zhao Yincheng and director Liu Chengguan is.
Perhaps in the near future, Zhao Yincheng will form a golden partnership with director Liu Chengguan like Huang Zhengmin, so let's look forward to it together.
