Laughing Across Borders: Ryu Seung Ryong reveals behind the scenes, "playing to the fullest" with the movie

Ryu Seung-ryong is known as one of the veteran actors of the Korean big screen. With more than two decades of dedication to the seventh art, the actor has left many marks through a series of roles.

Around the end of 2024, Ryu Seung-ryong continued to attract attention when he took on the main role in the movie "Laughing Across Borders" (Amazon Bullseye) - a work that combines comedy and action elements, giving viewers many emotional experiences.

In the movie "Amazon Bullseye", Ryu Seung-ryong plays Jin-bong, a former national archer who is facing the risk of losing his job and his family falling apart. Jin-bong is given one last chance to prove himself with a challenging adventure in the Amazon jungle.

According to Ryu Seung-ryong, the filming process of this new film not only required acting skills but also physical challenges as most of the scenes were filmed in a tropical forest.

What makes the film so attractive is that Ryu Seung-ryong and his co-stars and crew put a lot of effort into their roles. The actor did not mind his old age and performed many dangerous scenes himself. At the same time, Ryu Seung-ryong portrayed Jin-bong with great emotion, a person who is cold on the outside but very warm on the inside.

Ryu Seung-ryong started his acting career in the 1990s. He quickly became a familiar and beloved face in a series of hit films such as: "The Admiral: Roaring Currents" - the highest-grossing work in Korean history, or "Miracle in Cell No. 7" which was once voted the most favorite work in Korea.

In addition, his recent role in the series "Moving" has helped him affirm his irreplaceable position. Although he is one of the leading actors in Korea, Ryu Seung-ryong is considered a humble artist, a "senior" who is highly respected by the next generation of actors. He is not afraid to share his experiences with young actors, even learning from young people to improve himself.

In his film career, Ryu Seung-ryong won many important awards, notably the "Best Actor" award at the Blue Dragon Film Awards and Baeksang.

About the film Laughter Across the Border directed by Kim Chang-ju. He has 20 years of experience as a film editor with blockbuster hits in Korea. Kim Chang-ju's directorial debut, Hard Hit, attracted nearly 1 million tickets during the pandemic in 2021.

The film brings together the cast: Ryu Seung-ryong, Jin Sun-kyu, Go Kyoung-pyo, Yeom Hye-ran... Each actor brings a distinct nuance in acting, from the calmness and depth of Ryu Seung-ryong, to the humor and charm of Jin Sun-kyu.

Not only that, Igor Pedroso and Luan Brum, with their natural and authentic style, promise to bring the humorous situations in the film to life. The perfect combination of these stars not only highlights the story but also creates a multi-dimensional, captivating picture, making it impossible for the audience to take their eyes off the screen.

Laughter Across Borders tells the story of Jin-bong (Ryu Seung-ryong), a former national archery champion. After retiring, he became an ordinary office worker but could not devote himself to the company. Facing the risk of being fired, Jin-bong had to take on an impossible mission of flying to the other side of the Earth in a desperate attempt to survive.

Surviving a life-threatening incident, Jin-bong lands in the Amazon jungle, where he meets a trio of natives with superb archery skills: Sika, Eeba, and Walbu. Believing he has found a way to save himself, Jin-bong teams up with a clueless translator Bbang-sik (Jin Sun-kyu) and takes the three archery warriors to Korea for a daring mission. From here, the trio's journey to the city with new experiences of culture, lifestyle, and people will help the film explode with countless funny situations for the audience.
