Behind the Scenes Story: Adapted from the online novel of the same name

"Jenny Juno" is based on the story of a 15-year-old boy and girl becoming pregnant and giving birth to a child. It caused an uproar in South Korea even before filming started. The film's director, Kim Ho-joon, only came into people's attention last year with his debut film, "My Little Bride," which starred Moon Geun-young and Kim Rae-won and was a box office hit after it aired. In fact, "My Little Bride" and "Jenny Juno" are just a small part of a series of movies with underage themes. Both movies are produced by CultureCap Media. The company's next work is "Dancer's Innocence" starring Moon Geun-young and about a 19-year-old Yanbian girl who falls in love in South Korea. It will also launch "Dancer's Innocence" which shows real high school life. I am a teacher". Showeast, the investor in "Jenny Juno", is also worth mentioning. Showeast has invested in "Oldboy", which contains incest content, and "Samaria," which is about teenage prostitution. With directors, producers and investors who like this kind of unconventional theme, movies with more unconventional themes are just around the corner. Director Kim Ho-joon said, "I was prepared to be criticized for making this movie, but if it is accepted by the public, the next movie will lower the age group." The chairman of CultureCap Media said, "Even 10-year-old children now know what sex is, so don't belittle this movie with adult hypocrisy." The chairman of Showeast said, "I have long been accustomed to this kind of controversy. As long as the audience can generate a response, as in the past, I will not hesitate to invest."

Adapted from the online novel of the same name

This movie is adapted from the online novel of the same name. The author is not one but a group of people. In 2003, middle school students spelled out this in a solitaire style on the Internet. This work was extremely popular on the Internet, with more than 1 million readers at that time. This online novel tells the story of a well-behaved student who fell in love, had his own child, and gave birth to the child without telling adults. Since the teenage writer Kaitao started the craze for online novels and spread the craze to the film field, popular online novels have attracted the attention of many producers, and "Jenny Juno" has naturally caught the attention of people in the industry.

The fight for the film rights of the novel was very fierce. A production company went through a lot of effort to successfully obtain the rights. However, they racked their brains and could not figure out how to film the story of a middle school student's pregnancy in a high-sounding way, so they finally had to hand it over to Kim Ho-joon. Director, CultureCap Media and Showeast.

CultureCap Media was founded in 2002. It was originally an audio-visual planning and production company, and later transformed into a film production company. The company's philosophy is to shoot "5-free movies" without swearing, cigarettes, hooligans, violence, and sex. "Film, aiming to develop into a film company like Britain's Working Title. "My Little Bride" is the company's debut film, with more than 3 million viewers, making it the runner-up at the box office of Korean movies in the first half of 2004. In "Jenny Juno", Culture Cap Media still adheres to their "5 Nothings" concept, canceling the plot of Jenny and Juno having a relationship in the DVD room in the original novel, making the entire film present a fresh, bright, and beautiful fairy tale like style. Convinced that the film's content was healthy, the production company of "Jenny Juno" applied to the Korean Film Rating Committee for a "12-year-old restriction" rating. However, in December 2004, the rating committee approved the "18-year-old restriction" rating, leaving the film company in a dilemma. After re-applying, I only got the "15-year-old restricted grade". The Classification Committee believes that such films will have a negative guiding effect on young people. If strict control is not implemented, there is no telling how many outrageous films will be produced.

Actor Highlights: The male and female protagonists who have not shed their innocence

Park Min-ji, who plays Jenny, often shoots pictorials for some magazines, giving people the impression of a cute girl in a Japanese youth film. Kim Ho-jun The director thought her image fit perfectly with Jenny, so he chose her. Hye Sung, who plays Juno, looks childish, but he is the most perfect image of Prince Charming in the eyes of middle school girls. He is like a character who just stepped out of a comic book, and was caught by Director Kim at a glance. Park Min Ji and Kim Hye Sung are both still middle school students, but they have already attracted the attention of industry insiders and may soon become student stars like Moon Geun Young.

The staff guest-starred as extras

Director Kim promised the staff before the filming started that they would definitely appear in the film. This is a rare opportunity because Korean directors are usually reluctant to use guest stars from staff members. So the writer Jiang Shu in the crew became the blood sausage lady who sells blood sausage to Juno, the producer Park became the ridiculous taxi driver, the makeup artist became the director of the beauty salon who gave Jenny makeup on her wedding day, and the director team The assistant director turned into an "unidentified" teacher and appeared in the camera N times. The cameos of the staff made the atmosphere on the set quite relaxed, with constant laughter, and many of the dialogues were improvised, achieving unexpected effects.

A childish wedding scene

When filming this scene, Kim Hye-sung, who played Juno, and the photographer were tied up and hung 15 meters in the air. As Juno fell from the sky, the staff released more than 4,000 balloons, successfully capturing a romantic and dreamy scene. wedding.

Comment: Ironic and absurd story

In today's era, underage pregnancy has become an international problem, and children's precocious puberty of sex makes parents worry all day long. In fear, adults want to isolate their children into a pure world that is insulated from the complicated world. And this "Jenny Juno", which is based on the story of a 15-year-old middle school student's pregnancy and childbirth, would be weird if it didn't cause controversy.

The movie begins with Jenny using a pregnancy test to confirm whether she is pregnant. The frightened Jenny ran to school to tell her boyfriend Juno that she was pregnant. They were panicked at first, then thought about it seriously for a while, and finally The decision was made that "we have to protect our children ourselves." Juno said, "You are the girl I like, and I must be responsible for what I did." The movie is full of beautiful scenes like watercolor paintings. After Jenny became pregnant, the two of them traveled to the suburbs and had sex happily on the boat. Dance. Pregnancy did not bring much burden to the lives of Jenny and Juno. At least in the eyes of the two of them, it was just natural. Not long after, Jenny gave birth to her child successfully in the hospital. After having the baby, Jenny He and Juno plunged into the intense study life again, striving to achieve their goal of entering Harvard University.

Such a plot will inevitably be regarded as beautifying minor pregnancy. Pregnancy and childbirth are a painful process for every woman, but what the fifteen-year-old Jenny showed was... It is so relaxing and joyful, and is it true that after having a child, you can leave it to your parents and go back to your previous life track? This is why adults are worried. People are afraid that this is a wrong guide and will create a good illusion for children.

However, if you criticize the film because of its sensitive subject matter and absurd plot, it will be in vain for the director's good intentions. This movie has beautiful images and a relaxed plot, like a sweet chocolate candy, but if you chew it carefully, you can taste the bitter taste. In the film, the director sharply points out parents' lack of education and communication with their children, and also satirizes adults' rigid ways of thinking and fixed ideas about problems.

From this perspective, "Jenny Juno" has a positive practical significance. Today, when it is not only "problem teenagers" who behave in extraordinary ways, it makes people pay more attention to the pregnancy of such minors. social phenomenon, and seriously think about how to properly solve such problems and how to strengthen communication with the next generation.
