"The King's Man" can't be stopped anymore!

This is the incomparably certain perception that many people have after watching President Roh Moo-hyun's visit to ordinary theaters and watching the movie "The King's Man".

As some people have said, the president has no personal business to travel, and every action he makes in front of the public represents a signal from the government he presides, and there is no shortage of people across the country to interpret this signal.

Since March 2, "The King's Man" has had another terrifying outburst that all analysts had expected, and this time, the outburst was more violent than any other.

On the morning of March 2nd, Lotte Cinema's sales manager, Lotte Entertainment Headquarters Director Luo Hyun Zhen came to J.H Company, and in the afternoon, Lotte in Seoul's 20 directly affiliated theaters, all in the most conspicuous position laid out the poster of "The King's Man", and the next day, as many as 140 directly affiliated theaters and franchised theaters under Lotte Cinema also hung up the news of the screening of "The King's Man".

After three weeks of desertion, Lotte was finally defeated in the silent drums of war, and amid the angry rebuke from CJ Entertainment, he stepped on the chariot of "Wang Nan".

On the third day after President Roh Moo-hyun watched "Wang Nan", former South Korean President Kim Dae-jung, accompanied by his secretary, appeared in an ordinary screening room of the Lotte Cinema and watched the 120-minute movie in its entirety. It also truly reflects the people's life, customs, and ......"

Immediately afterwards, Seoul Mayor and Presidential Candidate Lee Myung-bak and relevant city officials visited a cinema in Sinchon and spent 120 minutes happily.

Park Geun-hye, the leader of South Korea's largest opposition party, the Grand National Party and presidential candidate, went to a theater in Seoul to watch "The King's Man" on March 7, accompanied by more than 10 lawmakers. At that time, a meeting of foreign ambassadors and ministers was convened, and ambassadors working in various countries around the world rushed back to China. A total of more than 100 people participated in the meeting. Meet collectively at the Korean Theater to watch "The King's Man".

Today, even the dullest person can discern what the government is trying to say.

Soon, the king's men appeared frequently in the newspapers.

Gwangju Mayor Park Kwang-tae and dozens of city government officials and lawmakers are scheduled to watch "The King's Man" this weekend, saying it is a very educational film. It serves as a good warning to the government to picket itself!" -- the front page headline of the "Central Daily".

"Busan Mayor Heo Nam-sik receives a delegation from Qingdao, China. The delegation was invited to watch "The King's Man". He said that "The King's Man" is a film with profound practical significance, and most of the plot reproduces the traditional art of Korea. It is a film that plays a positive role in the image of Korea. The head of the Qingdao delegation agreed with the view of "The King's Man" that satirizes absolute power!"

"When the issue of cabinet reshuffle broke out, MP Seo Song-taek cited the satirical plot of 'The King's Man' to insinuate that the current cabinet was shady, alluding to a number of cabinet members accepting illegal donations and revealing confidential government information, so that some underqualified enterprises were supported by the government, and the cabinet expressed anger at Rep. Suh Song-taek's insinuation!"

When a person is involved in politics, then the direction in which it is going is no longer controlled by itself, and no one else can control it.

Stimulated by the statements of major politicians, "The King's Man" exceeded 5 million (5,064,016 people specifically) on March 1, and "Wang Nan", which entered the fourth week of release, made another breakthrough in just 3 days and successfully entered 6 million people.

With the addition of Lotte Cinema, "Wang Nan" has obtained a sufficient scale of screening, and the number of theaters has reached 480, with 1,000 screens, accounting for half of the total screens of several major theater chains in South Korea.

"This is a miracle unimaginable for Korean filmmakers this year!" On the day when the number of moviegoers exceeded 6 million, the famous film critic Choi Kwang-hee said in the new issue of "PREMIERE", "The popularity of "The King's Man" exceeded everyone's expectations. I still remember when J.H said that he would invest 15 billion in "Wang Nan", the whole circle was full of ridicule, people said that J.H and Ahn Jun-hyuk were crazy, and they all said that Lee Jun-ik deceived an innocent child, so I want to ask, those who have said this kind of thing, when you see its box office exceed 6 million, do you still laugh?"

"...... when "Wang Nan" first appeared, a peer rated it as the best film of 2006, such an evaluation may have a lot of subjective colors, but in my opinion, "Wang Nan" is well-deserved, it is profound, and tender, it is not only a humanistic and artistic film that reflects reality, but also a well-made commercial film that does not lack connotation- There is a lack of such films in the current film industry, and filmmakers have gone crazy to copy the Hollywood model, they are obsessed with big productions and big promotions, but they forget that the core competitiveness of a film is to tell a good story......"

This issue of "PREMIERE" said in a one-sentence review: "The plot of "Wang Nan" is full of deep meaning, the production is exquisite, and the actors are superb in acting, all of which combine to make it the best film of the year, what are you waiting for?"

Other film critics naturally won't let Choi Kwang-hee specialize in beauty.

On the same day, the famous film critic Lee Dong-jin published a film review titled "The Lost Innocence" in "Screen", in which he praised the visual style of "Wang Nan", "...... This is the first time I have watched a movie with such an artistic component, and I have always been a dislike of Korean art films, because they are always full of too much hypocrisy, or they sell pornography in the name of art. "Wang Nan" claims to be a historical drama, but it is unique that it does not use too much screen language to express the heaviness of history, but uses a 'naïve' method to reveal the history of that period through the collision between the low-level ninth-rate characters and the 'king' and the 'court'......"

The plot of ...... "Wang Nan" is very touching, and all this is thanks to the performances of the three protagonists - Yan Shanjun, who is addicted to his clown world, and Yan Shanjun, who plays a blind man all his life, almost can't tell whether he is really blind or not, and of course, the most important Kong Ji...... When I first saw the character of Kong Ji appear, my heart was beating wildly, I really couldn't imagine that someone could actually express so many contradictory qualities together, the charming Kong Ji, the enchanting Kong Ji, and the pure Kong Ji like a ghostly orchid...... What's even more unimaginable is that the one who plays him is actually an 'uncle'"

"Do you see the crowd queuing outside the theater in front of your home? If you haven't seen it, act quickly, it will become fashionable, it will become popular, if you don't watch it, you will be out of touch with this society!" - "Screen" used such a sentence as the evaluation of "Wang Nan".

Since 1999, every year there has been a movie worth remembering in history, and last year there was a fault in this pattern, but fortunately, this year there is "The King's Man" - Cao Yongzhen's "Cine21".

A poignant, satirical fable of reality, the congressman uses its plot as an example to attack the cabinet, which obviously represents the recognition of the mainstream society, and the charm of "Wang Nan" lies in this - Jiang Youzheng "Film 2.0"

"The King's Man" is a masterpiece that should shock and even reflect on filmmakers, when you are trying in vain to die for a mere quota, it tells us that domestic films are not completely powerless in the face of Hollywood, at least it killed two Hollywood blockbusters - Zheng Shengyi's "ROAD. SHOW》

Such a good reputation is not only in terms of film critics, but also in the audience who have seen it.

As early as when "Wang Nan" exceeded 1 million people, more than 100 people voted for "Wang Nan" every day in the movie columns opened up by Naver, Nate, Daum and other portals.

At present, on Naver, which has the most voters, "Wang Nan" has reached a high score of 9.3 points, and as many as 3,000 short reviews have commented that it is "very good-looking, although it is a tragic story, but it has an unstoppable effect", "I love Kong Ji inside, I have to cry every time I watch the scene when I cut my wrists and dance, for his persistence and kindness", "I love Kong Ji the most, incredible performance".

A netizen used "a man more beautiful than a woman" to express his amazement at Ahn Junhyuk, the actor of Kong Ji in the film.

This is the most common word that people talk about after the release of "The King's Man", and most of the entertainment media when reporting on "The King's Man", in addition to its shocking box office potential, the main attention is focused on Ahn Jun-hyuk.

"Chosun Ilbo" said that Ahn Joon-hyuk created a new fashion fashion, and he brought the concept of "beautiful man" from the emerging vocabulary of the Internet to the hearts of millions of people, so that the people were overwhelmed by the beauty that was pure and surpassed that of women.

For the first time in the cultural world, there was a hot topic of neutral beauty, especially in the field of comics, many comic book serialized magazines, there were beautiful men who borrowed some of the characteristics of the character "Kong Ji", and at the same time, Ahn Jun Hyuk himself also began to frequently appear on the fashion page, many well-known fashion people analyzed his appearance, analyzed his wear, and every style of clothing he wore would cause people to be sought after in the fashion industry - even if he was sportswear or suit most of the time!

In the midst of such crazy praise across the country, "The King's Man" exceeded 7 million people without hindrance in the fourth week after its release, and marched towards 8 million without hindrance! (To be continued......
