On the other hand, director Yoon Je-gyun said, “I hope that it will be an opportunity to re-illuminate our lives today through the story of our parents’ generation who have lived fiercely in this era.” Through the life of the main character 'Deok-soo', he vividly depicts the turbulent times they have lived in.

New attempts were made in terms of technology. .

The character's transformation was perfectly portrayed. After digesting the life story of a man who lived through the turbulent modern history from his 20s to his 70s, he said, “It is the first time I have played a person’s life through a work. I was confident because I had already experienced it from my 20s to my 40s, but acting in my 70s, which I haven't experienced yet, was a new challenge. From observing the behavior and tone of the elderly to expressing external changes, it took a lot of thought and research, but above all, I focused on expressing the inner side of 'Deoksoo', which has changed over the years.” > He talked about his feelings.

Director Yoon Je-gyun, who said that he worked with Hwang Jung-min in mind for the role of 'Deok-soo' from the screenplay stage, said, "I thought that only Hwang Jung-min could express the sincerity of a father living in this era.

[ Production Note ]

From Busan International Market, the home of refugees
Germany's Hamborn mine, to Vietnam at the height of the war
Locations in 3 countries connecting Korea – Czech Republic – Thailand!
From the international market, the home of the Deoksoo family, who fled to Busan during the Korean War in 1950, the Hamborn mine in Germany where they went to a miner after overcoming fierce competition of 100:1 in 1963, and the marriage fund for their youngest brother 'Kimsoon' in 1974. For this purpose, we conducted locations in three countries: South Korea, the Czech Republic, and Thailand, from Vietnam to Vietnam, where there was a war between dispatch as a technical worker. The historical space and the flow of the times that change along the life of Deok-soo, who has lived through the modern history of Korea, are captured in the film. From the 1950s to the 1980s, and to the present, the history of the Busan International Market as well as the history of the changes in the Busan International Market are preserved in the Coal Mine Museum in Ostrava, Czech Republic, depicting the hard labor of miners at that time, and the war is in full swing. In order to reproduce the situation in Vietnam at the time, filming was conducted in Thailand. Director of Photography Choi Young-hwan said, “I wanted to give a different feeling to each country when filming overseas, so I switched cameras with different textures and colors to shoot,” raising expectations for the visual beauty of each country.

In order to capture the current state of the international market where Deok-soo's family lives, location filming was conducted at the Busan International Market, and a large-scale set was built in Gijang-gun, Busan to reproduce the appearance of the international market from 1950 to 1980. He created a place for living. Art director Ryu Seong-hee revealed, “I put the most effort into the badge open set to reflect the unique characteristics of the Busan International Market, where the items for sale change gradually as life becomes more leisurely, starting from a market made by refugees.” It made people expect the appearance of the international market that has been revived. On the other hand, I visited the Czech Republic to capture the arduous daily life of 'Deoksu' and 'Dalgu' during the miners' days in Hamborn, Germany. “Because it was difficult to implement a huge mine in Korea, it was filmed at the Ostrava Coal Mine Museum in Czech Republic. The tip of my nose became cold when I saw the elevator going down to the basement to a great depth, as well as the poor environment that made my nose go black even if I went in for just one hour.” On the other hand, I tried to vividly express the wartime situation in Vietnam where 'Deoksoo' and 'Dalgu' were dispatched as technical workers. After searching for a place to portray the jungle where 'Deoksoo' and 'Dalgu' hide themselves from flying bullets in the movie, Samut Songkhram Banana Farm in Thailand was chosen as the filming location. In reality, there are subtle differences between Thailand and Vietnam, so actual props were airlifted from Vietnam to complete the scene according to the situation and space.

The three-country location campaign, filmed by the best staff in Chungmuro and local staff, includes exotic scenery captured in the Czech Republic and Thailand and vividly reproduced historical moments, as well as the familiar Kukje Market, Yongdusan Park, and Taejongdae, Busan. It is expected to draw the attention of the audience by providing a wealth of sights and high-quality reality that encompasses iconic landmarks.

The first attempt in Korean film history!
Bringing the flow of half a century into your face!
The movie <International Market>, which depicts the life of ‘Deok-soo’, the father of our era, who has lived through the times from 1950 to the present, tells the story of an actor from his 20s to his 70s, including Hwang Jung-min, Kim Yun-jin, Oh Dal-su, and Jang Young-nam. I chose a way to digest it. This is the first attempt in Korean film history to capture the flow of half a century on the faces of actors, such as restoring the appearance of an elderly person created with special makeup and a youthful appearance with age reduction CG.

Director Yoon Je-gyun hired a special makeup team from Sweden for <007 Skyfall>, which has the best technology in makeup for seniors around the world. Unlike the existing method of making one thin pattern and attaching it to the face for makeup for the elderly, 7 thin patterns are cut out to create the texture of the elderly person's face, allowing the movement of muscles and expressions to be realized more naturally, resulting in more diverse facial expressions. Hwang Jung-min, who played the real 'Deok-soo', did not feel awkward while walking around the street to eat while wearing special makeup. The actors who wore special make-up took about 4 hours per person, so it took a lot of time to prepare for their senior filming, so it took a total of 16 hours or more. Love Larson, who was in charge of special makeup for <International Market>, said, “We focused on making use of all the details, from skin tones to creating skeletal structures. Director Yoon Je-gyun wanted to be expressed as naturally as possible, so he consulted Korean movies and dramas and collected photos of real Koreans to familiarize himself with their appearance, skin tone, and makeup methods in advance.”

Tae-Jeong Han, VFX Supervisor, who oversaw the visual effects of <International Market>, said, “Since the emotional performances of Jung-Min Hwang, Yun-Jin Kim, and Dal-Soo Oh are so good, even when acting as an elderly person, even the movements of the actors’ fine muscles that are expressed outside of their makeup should be visible. I had a difficult homework to do. After playing emotionally to my heart’s content, I added sophisticated CG to post-production to create the best possible result.” Photon, a CG company specializing in age reduction in Japan, participated and revived the youth of the 20s of the actors with an average age of 40, and added CG to the makeup of the 70s to make it more natural. The aging reduction CG used in <International Market> goes beyond the stage of simply removing wrinkles on the face, and in order to express the characteristics of each age group, the facial features of Asians, including eye color, neck, skeleton, and hair thickness, are further detailed. The focus was on expression.

Vivid reproduction of 'then then'!
A realistic visual that captures the changing history of Korea!

“Making a large-scale open set in Gijang, Busan!
We wanted to capture not only the times but also our daily lives.”
#1_ <Monster> Art Director Ryu Seong-hee
It was difficult in the early stages to portray the international market, a market with a specificity formed by the gathering of refugees. In <Kukje Market>, while the surrounding shops changed according to the flow of time, 'Deoksoo' was very impressed with the way he kept 'Flowers'. I tried to reflect the times as I went. As for spatial characteristics, in the 1950s, the house of a young 'Deoksoo' in Heungnam, Hamgyeongnam-do was set as a thatched house to give a feeling of a hometown where 'Deoksoo' can be remembered continuously and even the audience can remember. Immediately after the evacuation, the Busan Yongdusan shantytown also wanted to show the times in which parents and grandparents lived, as well as the images that descendants should remember. In order to reproduce the corner of the international market, an open set was prepared in Gijang, Busan to capture the life of the people of that era. In addition, the art and props team worked hard for the longest time to produce the KBS main building in Yeouido, where the reunion of separated families was held in 1983. Because I wanted the story of each separated family to be seen in <International Market>, I made several ceilings of the poster to find separated families. The stories of people's lives are hidden in the poster, there is a sense of anger, and even humor and satire can be glimpsed.

“You can see the era by looking at the clothes!
We prepared nearly 10,000 costumes, 2,000 pieces each for each period.”
#2_<Gwanghae, the Man Who Became King> Costume Director Kwon Kwon & Im Seung-hee
Since it is a work that contains stories that penetrate the modern history of Korea, from the Korean War, to the miners, to the Vietnam War, and to separated families, it was difficult to prepare costumes for each period and character. The times change for each sequence, so it felt like I was shooting a different movie each time. It had to be made faithful to the historical evidence of the times, and nearly 10,000 costumes were prepared for each period, 2000, 60, 70, 80, Korea as of 2014, and Germany and Vietnam in the 1960s. If there is a characteristic of each character's costume, 'Deok-soo' is not stylish because he has to raise the family as the head of the family. On the other hand, 'Dal-gu', the son of a wealthy theater owner, admires James Dean and shows unusual fashion. On the other hand, 'Youngja', who went to Germany with a nurse's license, thought that he was a learned person, so he matched a French coat to reflect the image of a new woman at the time. I wanted to express a plump young lady with a different feeling from 'Youngja', who is not comfortable. I searched for clothes made at that time to reflect the times, and I also made costumes that appeared in newspaper articles and documentaries.

“Perfectly planned a free visual that is no different from the actual shooting!
Reality was saved based on historical evidence.”
#3_<Myeongryang> Taejeong Han, VFX Supervisor
Since each historical event in <International Market> is big enough to be used as the subject of a movie, all of those stories have to appear in one work, so I thought that CG needs several experts, both in terms of manpower and skills. In terms of character, the various age groups of a person from 20s to 70s have to be expressed through CG, as well as big events that show the modern history of Korea. took charge and expressed it. In particular, the Heungnam evacuation, the excavated miner, and the separated family are very unusual historical scenes, so after much consideration to portray those parts, a 20-minute pre-visual was produced in the pre-production stage to ensure unity of the finished version in advance. perfectly planned with In scenes that require historical verification, we basically referenced a lot of photographic materials. In particular, even the detailed props of the import shop 'Flower Flower' in the international market, the home of the 'Deoksoo' family, were made to maximize reality through coordination between reality and CG. Well, I tried

[ Special Story ]

Q> Why 'International Market'?
-> I wanted to one day express my gratitude and gratitude to the generations of our fathers, mothers, grandfathers, and grandmothers who gave everything for their families and children in those difficult, poor and difficult times. It is also a work that I thought I should do someday from the beginning of the movie. The reason why I chose 'International Market' was because 'International Market' was the place where refugees lived in the past and where the daily lives of ordinary people live and breathe.

Q> Work to vividly reproduce the drama that goes through the times
-> I thought to make it with the heart, not the head. It is the first movie in Korea that penetrates modern history, and I really wanted to put a lot of effort into it and I really wanted to make it well. I referenced a lot of documentary programs dealing with modern history, such as the Annals of KBS, and also reviewed interviews with actual refugees from Heungnam. Since it is a work of reproducing historical events, the most important factor was how accurately and delicately it was expressed.

Q> A movie with the cast No. 1 actors
-> I've been making movies for 10 years, but this is the first time I've cast like this. The character 'Deoksoo' was written with Hwang Jung-min in mind. The actors in <International Market> thought that the sincerity of an actor was more important than acting. I could not think of any actor other than Hwang Jung-min who could most sincerely express the father of our time. As you can see from the name, 'Dalgu' also had a character that reminded me of Oh Dal-soo, but as soon as I read the script, he willingly decided to appear unconditionally. As a director, I was really happy to be able to do the best casting.

Q> Actors who have acted throughout their lives from their 20s to their 70s, and CG
-> The part I had the most trouble with when writing the script was the part of acting in each age group. Concerned that the authenticity that penetrates the film from start to finish would be compromised, an actor wanted to portray all ages from his 20s to his 70s. When I was in my 20s, I worked on aging reduction with the help of the Japanese CG team. This is the first attempt in Korea, and in particular, you can really look forward to Oh Dal-soo's transformation in his 20s. On the other hand, the senior makeup in collaboration with the Swedish special makeup team that worked on <007 Skyfall> took more than 4 hours at a time, causing pain to the actors, but the deep acting of the actors added to the result that everyone was satisfied with. This was completed.

Q> Works where you can meet real historical events and historical figures
-> Through <International Market>, you can meet real historical events that penetrate the modern history of Korea, such as the evacuation of Heungnam, the miners who broke up, and the reunion of separated families. There are many films dealing with the modern history of each country, such as <Forrest Gump> in the United States, <The Sunset on Always 3rd Avenue> in Japan, and <Life> in China. am. In addition, symbolic historical figures in economic, social, and cultural aspects were selected and arranged to fit the time period.

In addition, the appearance of the family of Deok-soo (Hwang Jung-min), who broke up with his father and sister in the process of boarding the ship, conveys the pity of those who have suffered a heartbreaking parting due to war.

At that time, the competition ratio was over 100:1 and they went to the miners. The workers dispatched to West Germany were largely divided into miners and nurses. He took on the hard work of the hospital to the extent that his job was to clean the body.
