Chapter 1636 Kong Liu
Gong Liu, born in Busan in 1979, graduated from Kyung Hee University. Gong Liu is a stage name, with his parents' surname, his father's surname Kong and his mother's surname is Liu.
Gong Yoo was admitted to MNET to work for VJ in his early years of college. As he said, being able to be VJ was uniquely attractive to college students back then. It was both fashionable and also meant good English skills. Later, Gong Yoo also worked as a costume model with an excellent appearance. In 2001, Gong Yoo made a KBS TV series "School 4" officially debuted in the Korean entertainment industry. So far, he has starred in many films and TV series.
In Kim Jong-sung's opinion, the resumes of Korean actors are really the same and rarely have special features. This is related to the Korean entertainment industry model like assembly line. Unlike the United States, many American actors' resumes look very personal.
What makes Gong Yoo special and precious is that when many Korean actors only pursue popularity and popularity, Gong Yoo, a male actor born on the Korean assembly line, has a persistence in art, and a sense of social responsibility and character. From this point of view, Gong Yoo is not just a male actor, but also has a little artistic style.
So in Kim Jong-sung's opinion, male actors like Gong Yoo are rare and valuable in Korea.
It is precisely because Gong Yoo has a persistence in art and a sense of social responsibility and character that he became the film-making broadcast of the novel "The Furnace" in his previous life, and he did his best to attract investment and plan for this movie, which led to the filming and production of this movie. Although Gong Yoo encountered many obstacles and pressures during the process, in the end, because of the movie "The Furnace", Gong Yoo was evaluated as a performing artist who contributed to society in South Korea, and was later appointed as the Special Representative for the rights of children by the United Nations Children's Fund Korea Committee.
In fact, Kong Yoo's specialness is not only reflected in the movie "The Furrow", but also in some of his other works.
For example, Kim Jingsung didn't have time to see the movie "Travel to Busan" in his previous life. This movie starring Kong Yoo started filming in 2015 and was released in 2016. This movie roughly tells the story of a single father Shi Woo and his daughter Soo-an taking the KTX train to Busan. The zombie virus brought by a girl on the train began to rage and spread, and the train fell into a disaster in an instant.
...
"Train to Busan" is indeed a good movie, and its plot is:
After an accidental traffic accident, a wild deer that was knocked to death began to twist and suddenly stood up. In order to cover up the facts caused by this unheard of virus, the South Korean government appeased the citizens and falsely claimed that there would be no problem with everyone's safety.
On a quiet morning, passengers all had their own reasons and boarded the ktx406 train to Busan.
There is Shi Yu (played by Kong Yoo), a financial manager who recently separated from his wife and treated her work more priority than her daughter. On her daughter Xiu'an's birthday, Shi Yu actually brought back a birthday gift that was the same as that of Children's Day in a busy day. When Xiu'an insisted on visiting her mother in Busan, Shi Yu had no choice but to put aside all work and board the train in the morning, so that she could return to the company at noon.
There are wrestlers Shanghua, who are about to be fathers in the same carriage and take their pregnant wife Sheng Jing (played by Cheng Yumi) to Busan, college baseball player Rong Guo, and cheerleader captain Zhen Hee.
When the train was running, Xiu'an saw a strange scene, but no one believed her words.
In order not to disturb his tired father Shi Yu, Xiu'an went to the bathroom quietly. He was pushed away by his uncle who was guarding the bathroom door for his pregnancy. Xiu'an had to go to another car.
At this time, a woman who got on the bus in a hurry fainted and suddenly climbed onto the flight attendant's back and bit the flight attendant. In an instant, the virus spread to the flight attendant's body, turning the flight attendant into a cruel infected person.
Shi Yu, who was woken up by the phone number of the subordinates of the Certificate Company in his sleep, found that his daughter Xiu'an was missing and he was not found in the bathroom. However, he saw a frightened man rushing over. The carriage was already in chaos, and the infected person accelerated the spread of the virus in the closed train.
Shi Yu found his daughter Xiu'an and ran with her daughter in her arms. When he saw the pregnant Shengjing couple running over, Shi Yu was about to close the door of the carriage. Finally, Shengjing couple barely squeezed into the carriage. Her husband Shanghua wanted to settle the score with Shi Yu, but his wife Shengjing was persuaded to stop him.
Everyone ran around and fled in the narrow train workshop and found that the infected person could not open the door and only responded to sound and light energy.
Everyone learned from the radio that Yashan Station, which was to be stopped at the next stop of the train, had also been occupied by infected people, and the train could only reach Daetian Station, which had already been arranged to suppress the infected people.
People followed the direction indicated by the conductor, and Daejeon Station was extremely quiet.
When Shi Yu was in the car, he secretly asked the military administrator he had managed by phone. Knowing that Datian Station had long been lost, he took his daughter Xiu'an to walk in another passage. Shi Yu asked Xiu'an to stay next to him for a while and walked over to check first, but unexpectedly, all the soldiers at Datian Station were infected. However, Shi Yu was too far away from Xiu'an at this time. Fortunately, Shengjing and his wife took Xiu'an away in time, and Shi Yu barely avoided the infected person and entered the door.
Faced with the rampant virus spreading and the emergence of infected people like a flood, everyone on the train fought back with great force...
...
Like "The Furnace", the movie "Travel to Busan" also has a sense of social responsibility and character. Its greatest significance is that it firmly believes that in a terrifying environment that is collapsed and before the end of the world, the reason why people are human is out of protection for the weak, helping others, trusting strangers, and even disappointing in the dark side of human beings. They together form the rich face of human beings themselves. Behind the film, the audience will see the Korean director's consideration of human nature, the complete international operation, and the bitter black satire of the Korean official system.
Of course, as a handsome Korean actor, Gong Yoo will inevitably appear in some popular works.
Gong Yoo is a smart person who knows how to balance works with social responsibility and character with popular works. He is also very lucky. Several popular works starring in previous lives are quite popular. For example, Gong Yoo collaborated with Yoon Eun Hye in 2007.
Back to the point, Kim Jong-sung is now directing "The Furnace" himself, so of course he will consider changing actors, because the movie in his previous life was filmed and produced in 2011, and now it is 2007, which means that some actors in the movie in his previous life are not suitable for use now.
However, from the beginning, Kim Jingsung decided to direct "The Furnace" himself until now, he never considered replacing Gong Yoo, the male star in his previous life. This was not only out of respect for Gong Yoo, but also because Kim Jingsung felt that Gong Yoo was indeed very suitable to star in the movie "The Furnace".
So in this life, Kim Jong-sung will still let Gong Yoo star in "The Furnace". Unlike his previous life, Gong Yoo was the one who recommended himself to challenge the male lead art teacher Kang In-ho in the past life after he facilitated the filming and production of the "The Furnace". In this life, Kim Jong-sung personally identified him!
