Song Ye-jin, who is starring in the film ”It Can't Be Done,” said, ”I was worried about the slump in the film industry” after seven years... Lee Byung-hun mentions artificial intelligence (AI)

The actors of the film "It Can't Be Done" spoke about the sluggish film industry, comparing it to the situation of unemployment in the film. On the 17th, a press preview and press conference for the opening film "It Can't Be Done" was held at the Busan Film Center.
On the day, director Park Chan-wook, actors Lee Byung-hun, Song Ye-ji, Park Hee-soon, Lee Sun-min, Yeom Hye-ran, and Park Gain, the chief programmer (model) were present.
"It Can't Be Done" is about Man-soo (played by Lee Byung-hun), an office worker who was so satisfied with his life that he felt he had "accomplished everything," but is suddenly fired and left with his wife and two children.
This is a story that unfolds as a man prepares for his own war to find a new job, in order to protect his children and the home he has worked so hard to prepare for them.
In particular, this film marks Song Ye-Ji-in's return to the big screen after seven years.
In response, Song Yejin said, "I've been worried about how often and for how long I can act in films," and added, "The future of the film industry is uncertain."
What's more important is that directors like Park Chan-wook should make more films," he joked.
He added, "I will do my best in my position to help him improve."
Lee Byung Hun also said, "While attending the Venice and Toronto Film Festivals, I was asked questions about the crisis in the film industry, comparing it to the unemployment situation in movies."
"I believe it is theaters that are experiencing great difficulties, and I am thinking about how to overcome these difficulties and make theaters a place that is loved by audiences again."
He also said, "In fact, everyone has their own difficulties, not just in film," and "I'll raise the issue of artificial intelligence (AI) in the second half of the film."
However, I think that AI is also a significant factor that could pose a threat to actors and directors, and in that respect I felt we had a lot in common."
Park Hee Soon also said, "In a previous interview, I said, 'I've lived my life as a movie actor, but now I'm waiting for the movies.
"I once said, 'I'm going to starve to death,' but this seems to be the reality now," he said, adding, "The film industry has gotten so bad that it's difficult to survive if you just stick to film, and filmmakers, including directors, are losing their strength."
I hope that if they can produce a better film, the audience will respond better and it will be a good one."
Director Park Chan-wook's new film "Helpless," featuring mise-en-scène, solid direction, and even black comedy, will be screened as the opening film of the Busan International Film Festival.
After that, the film is scheduled to be released in Korean theaters on September 24th.
