Tik returns to film in ‘I Miss You’

Photobucket

A horror film from Mthirtynine productions, the English title is ‘I miss you’, the Thai title is ‘Taa Ruk Chan, Ya Kit Teung Chan (If you love me, don’t miss me)’.  From what I got from the teaser, if you miss someone badly enough who has passed away, they will return. ‘Tik’ Jesadaporn Pholdee’s co-stars for the film are Ja Natthaweeranuch and ’Saipan’ Apinya Sakuljaroensuk. The director is  Monthon Arayangkul and the song playing in the teaser is titled ”Ruk Ter Tang Mot Kong Hua Jai (I love you with all my heart)’ song by Joe Amarin Luangboriboon.

Tik:’My love, when I think of you, do you think of me? When I think of your smile, will you smile back at me? When I think about when we were together, are you still standing beside me? There are many things I have not told you, there are many things I have not done for you, before I knew you were leaving me–departed forever to not return. ‘

Love Julinsee (Ruk Man Yai Mak) reigned supreme over the weekend

Kao-Mo-Now-Alex-MD-Saipan at the premier of their film

Over the weekend, the Thai teen flick ‘Love Julinsee (Ruk Man Yai Mak)’ did good, snagging the top position at the Thai Box Office with ease from big studio produced American films such as Rapunzel (Tangled), Unknown, and The Adjustment Bureau that premiered the same day. The difference in earnings is massive in the double digit range. According to sources at Pantip, ‘Love Julinsee (Ruk Man Yai Mak)’ made more on its first day than last year’s top grossing Thai film “Hello, Stranger” did. Love Julinsee made roughly 8 million baht something on it’s first day, where as Hello, Stranger made 7 million baht something. Sorry, I don’t remember the exact numbers. Either way, they should all be happy, there are decent numbers.

THAI 3 – 6 March (million baht)
1. Love Julinsee (Ruk Man Yai Mak) –>25.5
2. Rapunzel –>9.5
3. Unknown –>5.0
4. The Adjustment Bureau –> 4.1
5. I am Number Four –> 3.2

‘Love Julinsee (Ruk Man Yai Mak)’ is a teen comedy comprised of 4 stories of teen love.

The 4 themes are:

1.”Lampang is very cold” about love across an age group with ‘MD’ Nuttapong Pibultanakiet and ‘Saipan’ Apinya Sakuljaroensuk. She is a senior in high school and he is a much younger sophomore underclassmen who has a crush on her.

2.”Wait” to wait for love or to wait to break up with ‘Mouse’ Natcha Jantapan and ‘Ida’ Irada Siriwut. They like each other at the beginning, they start to date, then he goes aboard to study and he asked her to wait for him. She does but while aboard he finds another girl and never breaks up with her causing her to be wait aimlessly.

3.”Beloved friend”, it does get complicated when a close friendship turns into a romantic one. ‘Mo’ Monchanok Saengchaipiangpen and ‘Kao’ Jirayu La-ongmanee portray this story. I heard they did a really good job, one of the best part in the film. Then there were some who thought it had too much arom (mood) and they talked too much. It was TOO dramatic for some.

4. “Love is not something to be played with” with Alex Rendell and ‘Now’ Tisanart Sornseuk about two college students majoring in the traditional Thai dancing arts. They like each other but they just don’t have the guts to be upfront about it. I guess you can say she is unsure about his feelings for her so she pretends to have fake boyfriends, fake phone calls from other guys to get him jealous to make him profess his love first. It was very funny I heard, one of the most relatable stories.

By their performance and overall story, Kao and Alex’s themes seem to be the most popular among Thai audiences.

I love Nuna’s dress, it’s pixie, it’s cute, it’s pink, it’s suits her.

At the event, “Nuna” Neungthida Sophon lead actress in “Hello Stranger (Kuan Meun Ho)” and winner of the Best Actress award at the event cried up on stage. Ploy Chermarn cried too, not because she lost to Nuna in the Best Actress category, she cried out of shock because her film “Chua Fah Din Salai (Eternity)” won for Best Picture. ?? Okay. Emotional much?

“I was shocked when the film received the award because the crew and all the actors were exhausted by this film and especially when my teacher who is Mom Noi (the director of Eternity) went up to accept the award, I was very glad,” Ploy Chermarn explaining why she cried at the event.

Today not only did you come with Tar (Navin Yaowapalakul, Ploy’s bf) you brought your mother too, did you secretly have expectations this award (the best actress award), reporters asked Ploy.

Ploy said Tar being there or not, it didn’t matter;  Tar comes to these types of events with her often anyways. “If I don’t get that is fine because P’Tar comes to all my events. I’m very happy for Nuna who received this award. Up on stage, I even congratulated her. I don’t feel upset about it, I was delighted.”

The event was held at Central Pattana shopping center in Pattaya today. The special awards went to producers Charoen Iamphungporn from Five Star productions and “Sia Jiang” Somsak Techaratanaprasert from Sahamongkol Films productions.

Teaser for Kao’s new film “Love Julinsee (Ruk Man Yai Mak)”

Two things we know about this film.

One, our ‘Kao’ Jirayu La-ongmanee is in it, adorable kid, who recently turned 15. Woah, don’t I feel old. Secondly, the music is amazing. ‘Rue Du Ron (Summer)’ by the Thai rock band Paradox is the background song for the teaser. The song does give this vibe of summer, of being young and confuse about love. It’s not a new song, it is several years old, but it one of those songs that is ageless. I love it.

“Love Julinsee (Ruk Man Yai Mak)” is produced by M-Thirtynine (M๓๙) and will be opening nationwide in April.

It is a combination teen-drama love story, the title says it all–”Love Julinsee (Ruk Man Yai Mak-Love is enormous)”. I recognize 3 veteran young actors in this ensemble: ‘Saipan’ Apinya Sakuljaroensuk, Alex Rendell, and Kao Jirayu. The rest, they are all newbies.

The phrases in the teaser:

Sometimes love is not too mindful…youth.

At several instances you don’t have to LOVE a lot…but you must…be very clear.

Sometimes…you can love, but you must…be able to wait.

And if you think you can love a friend…you have to be willing to lose…your close friend.
