Chapter Twenty-Four: The Hot Box Office

The day after its premiere, the film was covered by various media outlets.

The biggest feature of the film is that it has created a "savage girlfriend" character that is rare in previous films, and "women beating men" has also become the biggest gimmick of the film. --- Korea Daily.

"My Sassy Girlfriend" is a typical Korean model of romantic romance: low-budget small production zuò + sensationalism + youth idol, which combines the freshness and delicacy of Japanese idol dramas, the romance of European literary films, and the nonsensical comedy of Hong Kong films, and evolves into a sensational story that takes place in our neighbors. --- Dong-A Ilbo.

"After the official release of this movie, it will definitely set off a trend throughout Asia, that is, women are proud to beat their boyfriends. But I advise the girls, if you don't have Jun Ji-hyun's looks, don't take it lightly. --- "Jingxiang News"......

Many Korean movie fans were attracted by these reports and wanted to see them. Three days later, "My Sassy Girlfriend" was officially released in South Korea.

Ji Mingzhe originally planned to have an Asian simultaneous release, but it was quite difficult to operate, so it could only be released in South Korea first.

The cinema chain of CJ Entertainment provided 425 screens for the film, and on the day of its official release, it attracted 650,000 people to the theater to watch the film, which was vigorously reported by various media, and Guo Jae-yong also took the actors to promote it all over South Korea, and the film reached a box office of 1.86 million people in the first week, and CJ Entertainment also increased its investment in the screen, taking out a total of 552 screens for the screening of the film.

"Oba! I heard that this movie is very good, and we want to watch it too, but we can only watch it if we are over 15 years old, what should we do?" Zheng Xiuyan and Huang Meiying pulled Ji Mingzhe's arm and coquettishly. Those girls all want to watch this movie that is now popular in South Korea, but when this movie passed the review, the level was over 15 years old to watch, and everyone except Quan Baolan and Lee Ji-hyun were barely old enough, and the other girls were not old enough, so at the instigation of the big guys, Xiuyan and Mi-young came out.

"Don't look at it, or you'll learn violence, you Jihyun Nuna! Now Korea is synonymous with barbarism. Ji Mingzhe put his arm around the shoulders of the two and said with a smile, now Jun Ji-hyun and Cha Tae-hyun are very popular in South Korea, and their fame has skyrocketed.

"Ohba, just take us to see it...... Is it okay?......" Hwang Mi-young so-yeon's face pressed against Ji Mingzhe's chest and continued to be coquettish.

"Okay!Okay! I'll go find someone to get a copy, don't expect to go to the movie theater, you're not old enough! I'll show it to you in the company's small screening room!" Chi Mingzhe looked at these two girls whose faces were attached to his coquettish girl, the little appearance made his heart itch, and as soon as he finished speaking, he kissed the two of them on the small mouth, and these intimate actions of the two of them He has not been less active during this time, and Chi Mingzhe can be regarded as completely letting go of his psychological burden, and slowly sliding towards the abyss of a perverted molester.

Xiuyan and Mi-young were silent, their faces turned red, Ji Mingzhe took their hands and left the company's corridor, but they didn't know that their actions just now were seen by Jeon Baolan and Lee Ji-hyun, who were hiding in the corner of the wall, and the two looked at each other with their mouths open in shock.

"Jihyun...... Our Elders ...... It can't be some kind of pervert, right?" Quan Baolan's hand trembled slightly.

"I think so-yeon and Mi-young are only 12 years old! He is really perverted!" Li Zhixian pursed his lips and made a gesture, and her words made Quan Baolan tremble even more.

"Then you have to be careful in the future, don't be caught by the president!" Quan Baolan watched as Li Zhixian grabbed her arm.

"Don't you do the same, the president probably just likes the younger, your face looks like a primary school student, he likes it more!" Li Zhixian pulled Quan Baolan away from the corner of the wall.

"What then?......" Quanbaolan's trembling voice echoed through the hallway.

If Chi Mingzhe knew that what he had just done had been discovered and had been regarded as a pervert, he wouldn't know how to feel, who would let these little girls who hadn't grown up yet be his favorites!

After eating at the Crystal Palace with the two girls, Ji Mingzhe answered a phone call and hurried to Jin Zaiyong's office.

"Brother Zai Yong, how is the situation?, people have found it?" Ji Mingzhe lit a cigarette and took a deep breath.

"Yes, now that guy is the president of a small trading company, and we've confirmed it again. Jin Zaiyong took out a bag and handed it to Ji Mingzhe.

Unwrapping the information bag, Chi Mingzhe took out a piece of paper and a photo from it and carefully identified them.

"Next week, we're going to Busan together, and there's something I have to settle down. He nodded, and a sneer crossed the corner of his mouth.

"Okay, Mingzhe! We're ready for your orders. By the way, we got all the "things", and the brothers loved it!"

The "thing" that Kim Jae-yong refers to is a private relationship between Ji Mingzhe and Mason in the United States, and secretly obtained a batch of South Korean munitions and equipment, 50 MP7 micro-punches, 50 Glock 19 pistols equipped with silencers, and even an M240 light machine gun, and the most important thing is four M136AT4-type US military rocket launchers, which make Ji Mingzhe spend a lot of money, and he can fight a small-scale battle.

At the beginning, the secret personnel recruited by Jin Zaiyong privately were named "Airborne Troops" by Chi Myung-cheol, intended to emulate the "big circle" of underground forces that once crisscrossed the world, these "big circles" were a group of veterans of the Vietnam War, in order to fight for living space from those original underworld forces, that was really daring to fight for their lives, and the "big circles" at that time killed the gangsters all over the world were frightened and urinated, no matter what organization you are, whether it is a group of three or a mafia, once you hear that it is a "big circle", they will retreat. Ji Mingzhe wants to form such a force to protect himself in South Korea, and even expand outward if necessary.

Jin Zaiyong opened the safe and took out a box, which was a Glock 19 pistol equipped with a silencer, and he handed the gun case to Ji Mingzhe, who played with it curiously, and quickly became familiar with it under Jin Zaiyong's guidance.

"Mingzhe, if you have time, you can practice your marksmanship more, and you will take this gun with you for self-defense, South Korea is not peaceful in private. Jin Zaiyong took out another box of bullets and put it in front of him.

After thinking about it, Ji Mingzhe nodded and asked Jin Zaiyong to find someone to teach him some self-defense skills, and Jin Zaiyong asked him to find Zheng Zexun to learn, after all, that kid's ability is still very strong.

Back at the villa, Chi Mingzhe looked at the photo he took out of the information bag in his hand and was stunned. In the photo, it was his father's former friend Min Jae-young, who first proposed to break up, and he must have been instructed by someone to do so. Then I thought of my father, remembered the qiē I saw in front of the window that day, and clenched the photo fiercely.

"Unforgivable...... What you did at the beginning, I want to get it back a thousand times over, I hate you gangsters the most, you are just waste, garbage, living will only waste food, when I was weak and incompetent, I could only swallow my anger and survive, now I can recycle you all, and even your family should die, because they make garbage ......" Chi Mingzhe's eyes were bloodshot and his face was hideous and he was muttering to himself.

After last week's box office fermentation, "My Sassy Girlfriend" continued its crazy box office results this week, with a total of 3.94 million box office hits in just 4 days. Kwak Jae-yong is now grinning all day long, another hit movie of the same period, directed by Park Chan-wook's "Joint Security Area", is also very strong, and now the box office has accumulated to 4.5 million people, and the news media is also speculating who will be this year's box office champion, when the reporter interviewed the directors of both sides, Kwok Jae-yong and Park Chan-wook both praised each other and expressed their appreciation, when the reporter asked if they could defeat the opponent, both sides refused to answer.

It was November 12, 2000, and Chi Mingzhe called Martin, a good classmate in New York, to inquire about the current stock market operation.

"William! Don't you know, now the United States can be lively, this election Bush Jr. and Gore are in trouble, both sides have gone to court, the news media actually made a mistake to directly announce that Bush Jr. was elected, what is even more ridiculous is that voters in one state have left these two hanging there for nearly a month, busy with stock market investment, we arranged it in early October, continue the NASDAQ short operation, and now we are making money again, a few days ago, the financial analysis report pointed out that now due to the collapse of the Internet myth, the U.S. stock market has disappeared directly by $5 trillion。 Oh my God, how much is that, how nice it is for us!" Martin sighed.

"Man, it's good to have something to earn, don't be overly greedy, I'll let you help me donate the money to the Bush Jr. Campaign Committee?" Ji asked Martin to help him donate $10 million to the Bush Jr. Campaign Committee, knowing that the next American political scene would be the era of George W. Bush.

"It's been given in your name, and Mr. Bush Jr. is grateful for that! But, I said man, aren't you afraid that all this money will be wasted? 10 million ......" Martin was distressed about his money.

"He's going to be elected, and if he sends me an invitation to the White House dinner, remember to let me know, by the way! How much did we earn this time?" Ji Mingzhe waited for Martin's reply.

"This time, according to the maximum leverage operation of 100 times you said, a large amount of margin will be paid, scattered in dozens of accounts, and it will all be delivered tomorrow......" Martin chattered.

"How much, man!" interrupted Ji Mingzhe.

"I guess we'll each be able to get more than $2.5 billion in the account, man! Your judgment is amazing, Schulke says you're a genius!"

"That's just luck, man! I know my account, I'll go straight in and I'll be back in the U.S. by Christmas." See you then!" Ji Mingzhe hung up the phone and turned to the window.

"Genius, who knows!" Ji Mingzhe smiled self-deprecatingly.
