Director Im Soonrye, the first female movie director who produced the movie <The Point Men> with a budget exceeding 10 million won, talks about <The Point Men>  production, chemistry between Hwang Jungmin (played the role Diplomat Jaeho), Kang Kiyoung (played the role of Interpreter Kasim) and Hyun Bin (played the role of NIS Agent Daesik) with  Cine21 Korea January issue.  

 

”Hyun Bin is personally closed to Hwang Jung-min.  But the two never acted together.  I thought there was a chemistry came from the closeness of the two.  Maybe it was because they had human trust in each other” ~ Director Im Soonrye

<The Point Men> 

Producer Subak 

Director Im Soon-rye 

Starring Jung-min Hwang, Hyun Bin 

Distributing Megabox JoongAng Co., Ltd. PlusM 

Release Points to watch in 2022 Most of the story of <The Point Men> takes place in Afghanistan. The production team filmed Afghanistan in Jordan, and I am curious about how strange spaces and characters in the Middle East, where the sandstorm blows, would be captured in the film, and the chemistry and behind-the-scenes scenes created by Hwang Jung-min and Hyun Bin, who are filming together for the first time, in an overseas location. 

<The Point Men>, presented by Director Im Soon-rye after <Little Forest>, is a film adaptation of a real incident where 23 Koreans who went on a mission to Afghanistan in 2007 were kidnapped by the Taliban, an Afghan militant group. Extreme Islamism and Extreme Christianity. Although the incident occurred when two extreme religious beliefs collided, the film focuses on the humanistic activities of the two main characters trying to rescue the abducted Koreans safely. Hwang Jung-min plays Jae-ho, an employee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who is negotiating with the Taliban, and Hyun-bin plays Dae-shik, an employee of the National Intelligence Service (NIS) who works in the Middle East. Last year, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, director Im Soon-rye, who returned from an overseas location in Jordan, was almost finishing post-production.

 

Recently, I know that he resigned from the position of representative of KARA, who acted for animal rights and reassurance of the Korean Film Center for Gender Equality, to focus only on film work. 

Director Im: I was in charge of this and that, but I tried to put it down and rest. There is also a social age. Was the 60th birthday last year or last year? When it came to my sixtieth birthday, I had a desire to put down what I was doing and quietly retreat. When I was looking at tarot in the past, when I said something like this, I got the answer, “It won’t be like that.” (Laughs) I thought I would have a lot of time to focus on myself if I let go of the tasks I was in charge of, but in reality, that’s not the case. However, these days, I am only concentrating on movies. 

Is <The Point Men>  still in post-production? 

Director Im: I finished filming overseas in mid-September 2020 and came to Korea, and I started editing in October of that year and has been working on post-production for over a year. As soon as a release date is set, we are preparing everything so that it can be released immediately. 

After <Little Forest>, you chose <Negotiation> as your next project. There must have been many proposals to direct a work with a resolution similar to that of <Little Forest>, but I decided to present a completely different film from <Little Forest> as my next work.

Director Im: You would have expected a gentle human drama, but somehow it happened. From <Informant>, <Little Forest> and <The Point Men>, all three films have different personalities. All three films were planned by Shin Beom-soo, the director of the film company Subak. At the time of <Informant>, I was not confident when I only saw the scenario. After reading the thick report written by PD Han Hak-soo, I was able to see how intensely this person covered as a journalist, and I thought it would be okay if I focused on the media rather than the authenticity of stem cells, so I took on the role of directing. <Little Forest> also thought that it would not be an easy work as there were many concerns about how to deliver the atmosphere and rhythm of the original Japanese movie to the Korean audience. That was in the second half of 2016, when action movies like <Asura> were particularly successful, so on the other hand, as a reward for that, I became interested in the peace that a gentle movie like <Little Forest> can provide. When I first got the offer for <The Point Men>, it was similar to how I felt with <Informant>. <The Point Men> is a film based on the sensitive true story of the 2007 Sammul Church missionary abduction in Afghanistan, and it does not take the narrative structure of a typical genre film in which the villain, the hero, and the innocent victim are clearly distinguished. It is a sensitive story in which the religious beliefs of two extremes, extreme Christianity and extreme Muslim, collide. I thought it would be okay if the story focused on people who are responsible for the safety of the people, such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the National Intelligence Service.

 

 

As I said, the storytelling of the film was not easy because it was a case involving sensitive religious and diplomatic issues. 

Director Im: Usually, in works about abductees and hostages, they empathize with those in danger. I follow the story with a nervous mind that I hope to save them. However, since this incident occurred while the abductees were engaged in militant missionary activities, there were difficulties from the beginning of the story. The audience had to not feel resentment or liking for those who were taken hostage by the Taliban, and they had to be able to follow the lines of the two main characters, a diplomatic official (Hwang Jung-min) and a security official (Hyun Bin), who had to save them. It was difficult and important to get an exquisite stance. 

The main characters are Jae-ho, a diplomatic official, played by Hwang Jung-min, and Dae-shik, an NIS agent, played by Hyun Bin. 

Director Im: Jae-ho is a good diplomat and a good negotiator. Daeshik, on the other hand, is an outsider who has been wandering around the Middle East. Jaeho has a logical and rational way of thinking, and Daeshik is free to think and act. The two characters sometimes clash in personalities and sometimes because of differences in the positions of the departments in which they work. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has a firm principle that you can never negotiate with terrorists. Jaeho also moves within that principle at first. Eventually, he realizes that human life is more important than anything, and he tries to save the kidnapped people by any means. Even if they are endangered by their own cruelty, people's lives must be saved. Through the two characters, we show that there are protections we deserve as citizens, and the responsibility to save them rests with our government.
 

Hwang Jung-min and Hyun Bin, how did you come up with the combination of the two actors? 

Director Im: I did <Waikiki Brothers> with Hwang Jung-min, and after that, I thought that I would like to work together again someday. <The Point Men> needed a strong actor who could convince the audience well, and Jung Min came to mind. Hyun Bin is personally close to Hwang Jung-min. But the two never acted together. I thought there was a chemistry that came from the closeness of the two. Maybe it was because they had human trust in each other. Of course, in the play, they appear in a relationship that is wobbly. Many foreign actors also appear. There were many difficulties with language problems. Several languages are spoken in Afghanistan: Pashto is spoken by the Pashtuns and the Taliban, and Dari is spoken in the capital. However, the filming was not done in Afghanistan, but in Jordan, and local actors in Jordan speak Arabic. (Laughter) I had to teach Afghan to Jordanian actors. Korean actor Kang Ki-young, who played the role of interpreter Kasim, also had to speak Afghan, so it was difficult to find someone to teach the language in Korea, and he received Afghan language coaching. In addition, Afghan actors who are active in Hollywood were also cast, but there were multiple high schools such as language problems as the multinational actors moved from place to place. 

Since July 2020, you have been filming overseas in Jordan for about two months. Were there any difficulties?

Director Im: Fortunately, Jordan at the time was not in a situation where the COVID-19 pandemic was not severe. It was a time when Korea was attracting attention from the world for K quarantine. To say I was lucky, Jordan started to get worse as soon as I came to Korea after filming. Since I had visited Jordan three times in advance, I was not so unfamiliar with the country of Jordan when I started filming. There are a lot of staff who have a good understanding of movies and are fluent in English, probably because a lot of Hollywood movies were shot in Jordan. The filming infrastructure was well equipped. It was also one of the safest regions in the Middle East, and geographically similar to Afghanistan, so Jordan was chosen as an overseas location. What bothered us was the weather. It was supposed to be filmed in a desert area in the Middle East in midsummer, and when I was in the car, the thermometer read 53 degrees. The locals in Jordan terrified me that if we filmed in the desert in August, we would all collapse in the heat. When filming started, none of the Korean staff had collapsed, and if someone said they had collapsed, it was a Jordanian staff. Korean people are so toxic. (Laughs) The overseas location for Corona, language, temperature, and food wasn't easy, but I'm glad I came back safely after finishing the scheduled filming. It's a bit disappointing that I didn't actually film it in Afghanistan. 

It is a film with a net production cost of 14 billion won. Until now, in Korea, a female director has never directed a movie with a production cost of 10 billion won.

Director Im: When I was first offered the project, I thought that the production cost would exceed 10 billion won because it had to be filmed overseas. Overseas filming will be held in an unfamiliar place rather than a familiar country, and there were concerns about the Corona 19 issue. But there was such a belief. Although it is not a typical action blockbuster, it was invested in this work, good actors were attached, and talented staff participated. Through this process, it seems that this scenario has power, and on the contrary, I was confirmed the power of the scenario. So far, director Lee Eon-hee has made commercial films such as <Detective: Returns> and director Um Yuna has made commercial films such as <Malmoi>, but there has been no female director who has directed an action blockbuster genre worth 10 billion won, and it is true that this fact came as a burden. There was pressure that <Negotiation> should go well, but filming abroad has been safely completed, and luck seems to be with me so far. You must have some luck left for the opening. (Laughs) 

Coincidentally, as the Taliban took control of Afghanistan last year, news about Afghanistan appeared frequently in Korean news. 

Director Im: It was before the Taliban came to power when we were shooting the film. When the operation to escape the capital of Kabul was urgently taking place, it was very cinematic that the Afghan Minister of the Interior said, “I will bring the Afghans who helped Korea” to Korea and kept that promise. In the past, the Taliban and Afghanistan seemed vague and unfamiliar, but after the recent incident, I wonder if the story of <The Point Men> will come closer to reality. 

How would you like the audience to see <The Point Men> ?

Director Im: Scenery, people, or situations in the movie may be unfamiliar, but you will find beauty in unfamiliar things and universal things in exotic things. Religious extremism is the beginning of the story, but you can think of universal, common sense, and precious values in it. 

What are your plans for your next project? 

Director Im: There is one thing we are working on at the end of the scenario. It's an animal movie, and it's a dolphin story. I just come and go From the countryside to the desert, from the desert to the sea. (laugh)

I miss Hyun Bin, 'Confidential Assignment 2' → 'The Point Men'...Ten day notice

 2022.02.01. 11:02 am

By Kim Mi-hwa

[Reporter Mihwa Kim | STAR NEWS]
 

Actor Hyun Bin will meet the audience in various forms in 2022. 

Hyun Bin is back with the movie 'Confidential Assignment 2: International' after 4 years since 'Rampage' in 2018. 'Confidential Assignment 2: International’ is a North Korean detective named Im Cheol-ryeong (Hyun Bin) sent to South Korea to pursue a brutal and sophisticated criminal organization, and a South Korean detective named Kang Jin-tae (Yoo Hae-jin), who volunteers to be a partner to return to the Kwangsu University. Even Jack (Daniel Henney), it depicts an unpredictable global cooperative investigation between North and South American detectives united for their own purpose. 

While 'Confidential Assignment', which was released in 2017, received a lot of love, it is the sequel to the audience after 5 years. Hyun Bin, who showed a perfect action performance in 'Cooperation' at the time, is expected to deliver joy to the audience by playing the role of Rim Cheol-ryeong again this time. 

'The Point Men', which was filmed at an overseas location in Jordan with Hwang Jung-min through the corona virus, is also preparing for release this year. 'The Point Men' is a work about the rescue of abductees based on the abduction of a Korean in the Middle East. Director Im Soon-rye, who directed 'The Best Moment of Our Life' and 'Little Forest,' took the megaphone. Hyun Bin will play the role of Dae-shik, an employee of the National Intelligence Service (NIS) working in the Middle East, and will show chemistry with Hwang Jung-min, who plays Jae-ho, an employee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who negotiates with the Taliban. 

After the end of tvN's 'Crash Landing on You' last year, Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin started dating publicly and are attracting attention from the public. It is noteworthy that Hyun Bin, who is going to wear clothes for the first time since the release of the devotees, will show each of the two films.
