《Jin Zhe》Released on November 20, the story begins in Yanji in 1983

In the summer of 1983, young Shangmin went to his grandma's house in Jitong Village, Yanji to spend the summer vacation, and met Jin Zhe, who was called a "fool" by the villagers.This friendship later remained in the memory of director Jin Chengfeng and became the starting point of the family comedy - Jin Zhe.The film has started pre-sale and will be released nationwide on November 20, 2026.

Jin Chengfeng is a local Yanji director and the screenwriter of the film.The film is based on his personal experience: a miss with a childhood friend became an unforgettable regret.He regarded this work as a reply to Jin Zhe, a reply that was 44 years late.

Wang Zhenxin plays Jin Zhe and Yu Jiyuan plays Sangmin.After selection and systematic performance training, two local children stood in front of the camera for the first time and performed a summer that was shot in Yanji and grew out of Yanji stories.The creation places poverty, prejudice, war and times in a distant background, focusing on leaving behind the loyalty of the two boys, the implicit love of their grandparents, and the familiar friendship between neighbors.

Also released along with the scheduled release date are the “Meet You” trailer and the film's original soundtrack.The trailer begins with Sang-min and his grandmother on a stone bridge: mountains and white clouds are seen in the distance, followed by a broken pencil tip and the child's helpless face.

Then, the events of the summer emerged one by one.The boys ran along stone walls and dirt roads, played with wooden slingshots, spread river mussels in their palms, played scarecrows in the rice fields, shared orange sodas, and wiped sweat and joked under the eaves.Sangmin shouted Jinzhe's name over and over again.Among the excitement, there are also silences in long-distance buses, profiles in the sunset and figures side by side on the slope.At the end, the two lay on the grass and looked at the clouds above their heads, echoing the sky at the beginning of the trailer.

The final poster adopts the composition of a summer family photo.In the front row are my grandmother wearing white traditional Korean clothes, my grandfather in a vest, and my mother in a white shirt; in the back row, Sangmin stands between his cousins ​​Yong Bin and Jin Zhe.Jin Zhe had a white cloth wrapped around his head, a red vest, and a water bottle and a military green bag slung across his body. His attire was different from the others.The white-bottomed blue and white porcelain bowls, brown clay pots and sauce jars in the old house, as well as the bamboo sieve and dustpan on the wall also retain traces of the characters' lives.

In order to restore the life of the Korean people in the 1980s, the crew reconstructed a village in real life.The slope of the roof of the thatched house, the distance between the wooden fences, the clothes dried in the courtyard, as well as the traditional furniture and kitchen utensils in the house are all arranged according to the era environment.

Korean traditional sports are also featured in the film: activities such as elephant hat dance, wrestling, tug-of-war, double swing, springboard and cake beating appear in the film.The camera also captured the interlacing light and shadow on the continuous fir forests, white clouds and grass in Yanji.
