On September 3, "The Cry" was officially released.

Although he was unable to attend the VIP premiere, after Park Ji-hoon returned, he had already seen the release version in the company, but he only gave some opinions on the narration, shooting, etc., and then it was gone.

To be honest, he didn't understand it and was plausible.

After all, I only watched it once.

However, he didn't look at the thoroughly studied ideas a few times, it was too energy-consuming on the one hand, and on the other hand, this was also an attempt by Yin Xizhen, which was not very mature, there were many things he wanted to express, and there were many things to integrate, but he couldn't do it.

It's still hot.

Yoon Hee-jin also admitted it personally.

The reason why Park Ji-hoon didn't shoot such content was because he was afraid that this would happen.

However, she was supportive of Yin Xizhen's initiative to try, so that she could rest assured to shoot boldly, and it didn't matter if she failed - Yin Xizhen had already taken other scripts, but she saw the script of "The Cry" by chance and liked it at a glance. In this case, Park Ji-hoon naturally will not object.

He once told Yin Xizhen that he should never forget his original intention.

What is Yoon Hee-jin's original intention?

It's about making movies!

If possible, she hopes to be able to immerse herself in the world of movies, be a homebody quietly, and go to any banquet and ceremony!

So, there is a reason why people fall in love.

How could Park Ji-hoon stop her from chasing her ideals?

"The Cry" stars actor Hwang Jung-min, golden supporting actor Kwak Do-won, and Cheon Woo-hee, who starred in "Sunny" and won the Best Actress Award at the 35th Blue Dragon Film Awards and the Best Actress Award at the 34th Korean Film Critics Association Awards last year for her independent film "Princess Han", as well as Japanese actor Hayabusa Kunimura.

The story is about a village in Guseong-gun, Jeollanam-do, where strange things happen in the village due to the arrival of a strange Japanese, and the detective (played by Kwak Do-won) and the Taoist priest (played by Hwang Jung-min) who track down the truth try to unravel the mystery.

It looks like a crime suspense movie, but it is integrated by Yoon Hee-jin with supernatural powers, and even a combination of Chinese and Western, including shamanism, witchcraft, folk ghost and god beliefs, Christianity, devils, etc., South Korea's social customs are like this, deeply influenced by Confucian culture, but generally believe in Christianity.

It can be seen that Yoon Hee-jin is very ambitious, and a lot of metaphysical thinking is mixed in the movie. Perhaps it was the success of two consecutive films that made her thirst for the box office weakened, and she wanted to make a "truly connotative" work instead - this is also a common problem of many filmmakers, both at home and abroad.

Perhaps this style hits the G-spot of some filmmakers, "The Cry" appeared in the non-competition screening unit of the Cannes Film Festival and won unanimous praise from media people at Cannes, so it has been highly anticipated as early as the beginning of its release and is known as one of the most anticipated masterpieces of this year.

In 2015, there were many local masterpieces.

However, generally this type of movie is often polarized by word-of-mouth and box office, that is, professional filmmakers are optimistic about it, but the audience does not like it.

"The Cry" is no exception, it has just been released, and the box office is not bad, with 309,416 viewers, ranking first.

However, word-of-mouth is polarized, with film critics and other industry insiders giving high scores of 8.5 and 9, while a large number of viewers gave 1 point and left messages such as "too complicated" and "didn't understand...... To put it simply, it is a look of confusion. There are also those who feel uncomfortable, "I feel mentally impacted", "Don't watch a movie like the end of the world", "A movie that makes people speechless, so terrifying and cruel that it makes people's hairs stand on end, and they feel uncomfortable"......

Of course, there are also hardcore viewers who like it.

"Reverse and reverse, marvel at the director's skill!"

"Director Yin, let us take a breath too. ”

"A movie that really makes people cry!"

"Full marks for nervousness, but 9 for the end is too vague and leaves a lot of questions. ”

In contrast, there is an almost unanimous praise from filmmakers.

"It's a weird movie that's intense, terrifying, but still humorous. Movies that collide between good and evil, paganism and Catholicism, dreams and reality (9.25 points). ”

"There is no slackening in the 156 minutes, and the plot is dense, which makes people sigh that director Yoon Hee-jin's skills have improved again. Although the reality is so cold, like purgatory on earth, this movie is telling you to try to hold on if you are willing to endure it (9 points). ”

"The first half is a rampage of a village police officer who loses his mind, and although it is a manifestation of the primitiveness of the people living in a closed mountain village, it is still a little tired in appearance. However, the strong reversal that appears in the second half compensates for all the previous patience. The story is very large, and the degree of completion is high, and it is one of the few films that is full of ambition (7.75). ”

So much so that some netizens sighed on the Internet, .'s public relations and connections are really powerful!

There are indeed reasons for this.

Although friendship is fragile in the entertainment industry, the entertainment industry pays more attention to connections than other circles.

September 3 is Thursday, and as of September 6, the number of viewers of "The Cry" in the first week was 2,315,480, winning the weekly box office.

Truth be told, both Park Ji-hoon and Yoon Hee-jin themselves were surprised.

Park Ji-hoon looks at the film from the perspective of a "commercial director" and "audience", although there are highlights, the father-daughter relationship between the policeman played by Kwak Do-won and the daughter Hyo-jin played by young actor Kim Hwan-hee adheres to the consistent "family killing" of Korean films. Kwak Do-won heartily interpreted the helplessness and pain of a father looking for an exorcism for his daughter, and Kim Hwan-hee went from innocent to possessed gloomy, violent, wild, and even foul-mouthed, which was also brilliantly interpreted, and won unanimous praise from film critics and audiences, and was also praised by Yoon Hee-jin as "Regardless of age, Hwan Hee is a real actor"!

However, it is not very pleasing at the audience level, and it is destined to be a niche movie, and the box office can exceed 2 million viewers in just 4 days, which really surprised Park Ji-hoon.

Yin Xizhen doesn't think that this movie is a failure, but it is a pity that he is not strong enough and cannot express his thoughts completely and accurately, but he also knows that it is difficult to please the audience, so he has already been psychologically prepared at the box office. I didn't expect to surprise myself!

......

On September 6th, at about 21 o'clock in the evening, Park Ji-hoon's office in the film and television building.

Yin Xizhen specially brought coffee to see him and waited for him to get off work together.

It was drizzling outside.

In the past few days, it has been obscene and rainy, cloudy and uncertain, and this public relations ability has gone to heaven, let God render the atmosphere for "The Cry"!

"Have you seen a psychiatrist?" the two drank coffee and chatted for a while about the topic of "Crying", when Park Ji-hoon suddenly asked. ()
