SEOUL, June 11 (Yonhap) -- Actor Son Suk-ku shared his experience filming the action scenes for his latest film 'Night Fishing,' describing them as even more intense than those in 'The Roundup' (Crime City 2). During a press conference held at CGV Yongsan I-Park Mall on the 11th, Son detailed the physically demanding nature of the shoot.
In 'The Roundup,' Son played the villain Kang Hae-sang, engaging in fierce combat with lead actor Ma Dong-seok. He recalled, "I think the action was more intense than when I fought Ma Dong-seok."
'Night Fishing' is a mystery thriller that follows an enigmatic agent named Romeo (played by Son Suk-ku) who attempts to capture a mysterious object while parked at an electric vehicle charging station. The film's unique premise required Son to perform a strenuous action sequence where his car’s windshield shatters, and he is violently thrown to the ground.
Son described the filming process: "All three elements – myself, the fishing rod, and the object being caught – had to align perfectly to get the 'OK' sign. The setup made editing difficult, so the shoot was physically taxing."
Son also took on the role of co-producer for 'Night Fishing,' emphasizing his creative input over logistical aspects. He stated, "Producers have different roles; some focus on planning, others on practical tasks, and some on creative involvement. My role was more about the creative extension of my acting."
The film's unique filming technique involves all scenes being viewed from cameras mounted on the car, restricting the action to the car's surroundings. This approach adds to the suspense, as the audience can only infer events from sounds and light when characters move away from the vehicle. The timestamps displayed on the screen enhance the film’s distinctive atmosphere, making it feel like a black box recording.
