The film tells a warm story between a young parent and a child suffering from premature senility. Recently, film directors Li Zairong and Song Hye Kyo accepted an exclusive interview with 1905 Film Network, and said that three films will be shown in mainland China one after another recently. Song Hye Kyo said that this does not mean that he will focus on China.
Song Hye Kyo, 33, is affectionately known as "Qiao Mei" in China. Plump, Plump, My Life is the first time that Qiao Mei plays a mother. She can play a 17-year-old high school student in the film, and the next scene will become the mother of a 16-year-old child who is plain. In this regard, Song Hye Kyo admits that it is not too difficult for her to play the role of mother, but when asked if she wants to be a mother in reality, she said that she is not ready. Song Hye Kyo also revealed that if she becomes a mother, she will make friends with her children.
Qiao Mei is not ready to be a mother. If she is a mother, she will be friends with her children.
In My Life, Song Hye Kyo plays a mother who is pregnant at the age of 17 and has a 16-year-old son. In the film, she sometimes appears as a mother, and sometimes returns to the youthful high school student style, which surprises fans who like her. For the first time, Song Hye Kyo did not find it difficult. "In fact, there is not much difficulty in the role of mother. I personally care more about the difficulty of acting, which is the most difficult."
It is not difficult for Song Hye Kyo to play the role of mother in the play, but outside the play, she admits that she is not ready to be a mother. For getting married and having children, 33-year-old Song Hye Kyo said that she is not young. She has considered these questions. "I am not sure if I am qualified to be a mother." However, Song Hye Kyo revealed, "I think I will be the kind of mother who is like a friend with my children, and I will be strict if necessary."
1905 Movie Network: In the movie, your modeling is very simple, and your appearance is basically plain. Will you not get used to it?
Song Hye Kyo: First of all, because of the needs of the role, Merlot’s modeling was decided through discussion and screening by the director, the costume group and the makeup group. Because of the needs of the role, only such an appearance can meet the character of Merlot, and there is not much burden. I have been asked before whether there will be any burden and pressure to appear on the screen as a plain face, because the role setting is like this, so there is not much pressure in this respect. My style in the picture is plain and my hair is simple, so it is more convenient to do it. It takes only 5 minutes to prepare and it is easier to shoot at that time.
1905 Movie Network: Is it difficult to play Mom for the first time?
Song Hye Kyo: I discussed this role with the director before shooting. Director Li Zairong is a very careful director. Before shooting, we had a lot of time to discuss it together. Together with the director, actors and other staff, the preparatory work was very good. No matter the role or the film, I have made good preparations, so there is not much difficulty in the role of mother. In fact, I personally care more about the difficulty of acting, which is the most difficult for me, such as emotional drama. Fortunately, this drama is more relaxed than I expected. The mother I played is a mother like a friend, not a mother like a friend as everyone thinks, which makes people feel very kind.
1905 Movie Network: 17-year-old Milo chooses the latter between her dream and her children. What would you choose?
Song Hye Kyo: Actually, I have been asked this question many times, and I have thought about it many times. While filming, I also wondered what I would do if I really faced the same situation as Milo. I think Milo and Daxiu are a great couple and can be responsible for their children. If such a thing really happens to me, I don’t know if I can treat it as well as Milo. This is a very difficult situation. Now I’m not sure if I can break through the predicament like Milo.
1905 Movie Network: How do you evaluate your acting skills now?
Song Hye Kyo: Actually, every actor, no matter who he is, will never be 100% satisfied with his performance in the play, and so am I. I try my best to play my role well, but I can also see my shortcomings, and I will try my best to modify my shortcomings and imperfections.
1905 Movie Network: If you become a mother in the future, will you be a "strict mother" or a mother like Milo?
Song Hye Kyo: I think I should be the kind of mother who is like friends with her children. I will be strict if necessary, but I think my children should be more obedient.
1905 Movie Network: Will you want to be a mother after this play? Do you have any plans to get married?
Song Hye Kyo: Melo in the movie is a very cheerful personality. Although the movie as a whole is a very sad story, I will be more cautious about my mother’s identity, and I will have very careful thoughts and concerns. Although I’m not young now, I’m not sure if I’m qualified to be a mother.
Song Hye Kyo said that the focus is not on China: China market is a good opportunity.
Li Zairong, the director who has directed movies such as,,, and, has a variety of styles. Regarding his new work, My Life, he said, "Although the theme of this movie is not the same as my previous one, I can discuss aging and death through this story, which is what I am worried about now." "My Life" is also Li Zairong’s first film released in China. He thinks that the scale of China’s film market is unimaginable in South Korea, and it is also a very good opportunity for him.
Recently, for China fans, there are many opportunities to see Song Hye Kyo on the big screen. In addition to The Grandmaster 3D at the end of last year, my life plopped plopped plopped, and Taiping Wheel (Part II) met with the audience one after another in the first half of this year. Previously, Song Hye Kyo had revealed that she had no intention to enter Hollywood, but she seemed to prefer the China market. However, Song Hye Kyo said in an exclusive interview that she had not shifted her focus to China, and it was a coincidence that three films were released one after another.
1905 Movie Network: I feel that now you focus on China. Why?
Song Hye Kyo: As far as I know, "I am the Queen" was supposed to be released at the end of last year, and it was delayed until the first half of this year, so it happened that three films were released this year. It seems that I shifted my focus to China, but it is not. Whether it’s China or South Korea, if there is a movie I like, I will shoot it. It’s not that I shift my focus to China or South Korea, so I will keep doing it.
1905 Movie Network: You have shot many different types of movies before. Why do you want to put this story on the screen?
Li Zairong: A few years ago, the original novel of this movie was very popular in Korea. I read this novel at that time, and when I read it, I thought it might be difficult to present the story on the big screen. Later, I suggested to a producer I was familiar with, "How about making this story into a movie?" So, I read this novel again. Although the theme style of this film is not quite the same as my previous one, I can discuss the problems of getting old or dying through the story of this family, which is what I am worried about now.
1905 Movie Network: "Plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop
Li Zairong: Actually, when I shoot this story, I feel that life can’t always be happy. Sometimes there needs to be sadness and separation. Only when it is difficult to face sadness with a smile can I feel that life really exists. It is more suitable for me to present my life through the stories of my warm family. If such a sad story is expressed in a sad way, the audience may look tired and feel dark inside, and it seems easier to express the audience in a happy way.
1905 Movie Network: How many box office do you expect this movie to have in China?
Li Zairong: Personally, it’s the first time for me to have my own film shown in China. On my way here, I heard that this time "My Life" was shown in China with a scale of 5,000 screen blocks. I also hope that my film will be successful in China.
1905 Movie Network: What do you think of China movie market? Like Song Hye Kyo, there have been many collaborations with director China in recent years. Do you have any plans in this regard?
Li Zairong: China’s films have developed very fast, and the market is also very large. Many films have been produced and shown, and some Korean directors with high quality projects are also very interested. I also have a lot of exchanges in this respect. The scale of China is unimaginable in South Korea, and the film market in China itself is a very large market, which I think is a very good opportunity.
