Chapter 208: Lady Butterfly (1)
The filming set of Gyeongseong Lady was bustling with activity. The actors, arriving on set, found themselves staring in surprise at the unusually large number of staff members.
Even the outfits being worn were unfamiliar, and the murmurs of conversation were in a language that wasn’t Korean.
Japanese?
The realization dawned on everyone as their eyes met each other’s.
“Ah, that’s right.”
They remembered that Japanese representatives were supposed to visit the set. They were here to shoot promotional footage for Gyeongseong Lady.
“This is interesting. Director Baek Min’s films have always been well-regarded overseas, but...”
“This is the first time Japan’s shown this much interest, isn’t it? I heard they don’t usually care about foreign films.”
“Well, Japan’s film industry has its own distinct style, after all.”
Japan’s film industry was, in fact, a sizable market—or at least it seemed so in terms of numbers.
However, the actual number of people who went to see films wasn’t very large. While many films were produced, most didn’t achieve significant box office success and quietly disappeared from theaters.
In fact, animated films often outperformed live-action ones in terms of box office success.
