After the release of "500 Days with Shamo", the Chinese and Japanese media were still festive, while the South Korean media simply died down, and even struggled. What's the matter, not long ago because of Park Jae-beom's matter, he swaggered out of South Korea, and then the unpleasant quarrel between JYP and the "Yi family" made waves within the Korean entertainment industry, but Lee Joon-yi himself, the development in the United States is smooth, and now it is to have a box office, a word of mouth, and popularity. This left the South Korean media speechless.

In Hong Sung-hyun's words, "Lee Joon-yi's outstanding performance in two consecutive movies made those wall-to-wall media directly splashed with buckets of water, and then frozen into ice, and they couldn't even make the action of swaying with the wind." It's a pleasure."

Of course, there is a more direct way to express it, from the mouth of Park Jinwoo, he just put his hand on his neck, made a horizontal knife cutting motion, and then directly rolled his eyes to hang the dots. This action has directly become the hottest way to greet the "Yi family" recently.

In the third week of its release, "500 Days with Sammo" tripled in theaters, with a total of 266 theaters showing the film, and the cumulative box office exceeded 8 million, continuing to occupy the 11th place in the North American box office charts. Although "500 Days with Sammo" has never entered the top 10 since its release, she has been holding on to the eleventh place despite the continuous release of new films and blockbusters, which is a miracle in itself. Three weeks after the release, the crew officially announced that it had recovered its costs and made a preliminary profit, scattering flowers to celebrate.

In this week's North American box office charts, there is also news, that is, "The Hangover" is still stuck in eighth place, and "Transformers is tenth", not to mention the "Flying House Travelogue" that has been out of the list. Just when everyone thinks they know enough about the dark horse of a "hangover", a "hangover" can always bring new surprises.

To say that the most impressive picture left in the summer of 2009 may be "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" or "Transformers 2", but Lee Joon-yi with "The Hangover" and "Five Hundred Days with Shamo" These two works have disturbed a pool of summer water in the summer file, which can also be called a classic.

The voice of the South Korean media finally came out in the fourth week of the release of "500 Days with Sammo", because Lee Byung-hun's "Special Forces" was officially released, a total of more than 4,000 movie theaters, won the first week of 22 million, and won the top of the North American box office chart this week. Although this result is really not outstanding, and Lee Byung-hun is not the starring role, it finally made the Korean media find their voice. Even so, the face of the Korean media has long been lost, and in front of Lee Joon-yi, no one can straighten their backs, and everyone can only silently hope for the "Ninja Assassin" starring Rain.

In addition, another reason why the Korean media could not celebrate it was that "500 Days with Sammo" achieved the best result since its release in the fourth week, and after 817 theaters continued to expand its release, the cumulative box office reached 15 million US dollars, and defeated "The Hangover" and "Transformers", which continued to decline at the box office, entered the top 10 of the North American box office chart for the first time, ranking ninth. Such a victory really made the media lively again.

Next, the number of theaters broadcast by "500 Days with Shamo" has been increasing, and by the sixth week, it even increased to 1,300 theaters, and then the theater chain stopped growing and began to decline slowly. In terms of box office results, "500 Days with Shamo" stayed in the top 10 for another week, and then faded out of the list. Even so, the handful of theaters and independently produced small-budget films still stayed on the list for five weeks, which is not as big as last year's "Slumdog Millionaire", which is not a big miracle.

At the same time, the "special forces" quickly disappeared from the North American box office list, and the final box office was only 130 million US dollars, which was short-lived, and it was not even able to recover the cost, so that the voice of the Korean media came to an abrupt halt again.

After receiving numerous word-of-mouth acclaim, "500 Days with Shamo" was released in theaters across the United States for a jaw-dropping thirteen weeks, and ended up at $38 million at the box office. This is a box office miracle for an independent film with an investment of $7.5 million, and for a film with only 27 theaters at the beginning of its release, whether it can be compared with "Slumdog Millionaire", whether it can show its face again at the Golden Globe Awards, Oscars and other award ceremonies, but for Mark Webb, for Lee Joon-yi, Blake Lively, and for Fox Searchlight, this is a victory.

In fact, if you study carefully, the box office of "Twilight" and "The Hangover" has exceeded $200 million in North America and $1 billion around the world, and "500 Days with Sammo" has only achieved $38 million in North America, and in the world, the movie has only been broadcast intermittently in China, Japan, France, Italy, the United Kingdom and other places, and the global box office finally stumbled to $80 million. To make a comparison, there is naturally a gap.

On the year-end box office rankings, you don't need to wait until the end of the year to know, "500 Days with Shamo" has no way to squeeze into the top 20, this result can squeeze into the top 50, and the top 40 at most is the top sky, which is not good. But even so, all the media still gave the title of "Surprise of the Year" to "500 Days with Shamo".

In fact, if compared with itself, the results of "500 Days with Shamo" are still eye-opening, and the income has reached 1000%, which is not as good as the 1400% of "Twilight" and "Hangover", and it is still coveted by all investors and film companies. What's more, no one would have imagined that the "500 Days with Shamo", which was almost unattended, would be able to achieve such amazing results in North America and around the world.

The box office earnings are jaw-dropping, and the word-of-mouth is even more applauding, if you add the media's support for Lee Joon-yi's shortlisting for the Golden Globe Awards and the Oscar for Best Actor, it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that Lee Joon-yi is the hottest actor in the United States now. Therefore, the biggest winner of the summer season in 2009 is not a group of box office predators such as "Transformers 2" and "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", nor a group of shiny box office dark horses such as "Hangover" and "Fake Marriage", not to mention the film companies that count the money and have cramps, but Lee Joon-yi, who held the first place for five weeks after defeating Johnny Depp on the IMDB actor list.

Although five weeks later, Lee Joon-yi's name inevitably fell, and it still can't match Johnny Depp's years of accumulation, but Lee Joon-yi is still ranked fifth, which is also very amazing compared to Lee Joon-yi's debuting in the United States for less than a year and three releases.

"500 Days with Shamo" made Lee Joon-yi, Blake Lively, Mark Webb and Fox Searchlight all gain fame and fortune, and the media finally understood at this time that Christopher Nolan chose Lee Joon-yi's reason, "500 Days with Shamo" is indeed a good annotation. Of course, the scripts that flew like snowflakes from Lee Joon-yi at this time can be regarded as the best proof of Christopher Nolan's vision, but Fred Pyle didn't even read these scripts, let alone Lee Joon-yi. Taking over Christopher Nolan's "Inception" was already an unexpected accident, Fred Pyle didn't want to make Lee Joon-yi tired anymore, so many movies have been filmed this year, it was enough, let Lee Joon-yi take a good rest, finish filming the next "Lunar Eclipse" and "Inception", and then focus on the English album. This is what Fred Pyle and Lin Xiyuan have decided after discussion.

On the other hand, Fred Pyle also reached a preliminary agreement with Sony, a sincere Sony company, and Sony released two singles by Justin Bieber: the already released "" and the upcoming "". Compared with the superior people of the world, Sony's attitude has always been very sincere, even if it is not negotiated, their attitude is very friendly, and they will carefully inquire about Fred Pyle's ideas and decisions, and then go back to the meeting to discuss, obviously, their cooperation sincerity is much higher.

Of course, the issue of Lee Joon-yi's English-language album is still unclear, and Fred Pyle and Sony have only signed a contract for Justin Bieber's first two singles, and everything else is still unknown. But for now, Fred Pyle has had a great time working with Sony Records, which has allowed him to take his first steps in the music market.

In the blink of an eye, July has passed, and the filming time of the "lunar eclipse" is gradually approaching. However, this more than a month of rest: although it is necessary to promote "500 Days with Shamo", the promotion of this movie is definitely very easy, so Lee Joon-yi has made very good progress on the English album.

Not long ago, Lee Joon-yi and Blake Lively went to watch "The Hangover" together to contribute to the box office of the movie. After reading it, Lee Joon-yi wrote a song "Last." This song tells the story of a hangover, and I can't remember what I did last Friday. Look at the lyrics, "Last Friday, we danced at the table, we drank too much, we kissed but I don't remember." Last Friday, we maxed out our credit cards, got kicked out, and we hit Fifth Avenue. Last Friday, we were in the park, we were swimming in the dark, and we posted the photos online. Last Friday, we seemed to break the law, and we always said there would be no next time, but, wow, this Friday, we're still going to do it again."

Obviously, Lee Joon-yi's style of music and lyrics has found his own American rhythm, which is completely a direct description of "hangover", which also makes Blake Lively laugh and say, "This song should be the theme song of 'hangover'." ”

Today's second update, thank you for your support, and the third update later, hehe.
