"I'd like to watch it again. ”

"Okay, let's go buy tickets!"

The lights in the screening room turned on, and the two girls behind them sobbed for a while, and said in a nasal voice.

Park Jinyu rubbed his eyebrows, immediately put on his glasses, got up and walked out of the screening hall, the central air conditioning in the hall was running, and the air was warm like spring, but there was a faint coldness in his heart. The story just now is still being replayed in my mind, replaying the bright red that spun up and bloomed like a cosmos, and at the end of the replay, the king who sat upright in Mu Ran jumped up in the air and met Kong Ji and Changsheng in the next life.

The King's Man......

He still didn't see what the name meant, and after the story developed to the fullest, all his attention was attracted by the plot, for the sadness, for the feelings that couldn't be said whether it was love or not.

"Perhaps, I'll need to watch it again, too!"

He thought.

But it's a pity that the 120-minute movie has passed, and now it's close to 13 o'clock in the afternoon, and he came out today just to find an excuse to ask for leave, and if he doesn't go in the afternoon, I'm afraid he will be scolded by the editor-in-chief again.

Standing at the door of the screening hall, looking at the people walking by, after a short pause, most of them walked to the ticket hall, hesitated for a while, Park Jinyu still shook his head, walked out of the theater, and returned directly to the editorial office.

When he arrived, most of the colleagues who had had lunch had already arrived, and the time for work had not yet arrived, and those people got together in twos and threes to chat about the company's and the gossip in the circle. Go straight to the editor-in-chief's office.

Since the last time he relied on his own discernment, when many people were not very optimistic about "Jin Sanshun", he resolutely won the space allocated to him to compete for the editorial position, and published the first drama review about "Jin Sanshun", which made the editorial department show his face once in the industry, and the editor-in-chief often expressed his appreciation for him.

When I came to the editor-in-chief's office, I knocked on the door and opened it, and the editor-in-chief was sitting behind his desk on the phone, and he was standing silently waiting.

A few minutes later. The editor-in-chief smiled and said goodbye to the other end of the phone: "It's good, it's good." Please tell Chairman Kim to reassure him that as long as you can do it well, I can free up a page to report at any time...... Haluha, I can't play golf...... It's good, it's good. See you on Sunday!"

Hang up. The editor-in-chief wiped his half-bald hair. Xiang Park Jinyu smiled and said, "Hey, this group of capitalists, they don't pinch us out of the corner of their eyes when something happens." As soon as something happened, I thought about using the power of the media to reverse the image...... Jin Yu, are you feeling better?"

"Just a little uncomfortable, it's much better. ”

"That's good, that's good! Okay, let's go to work, the editorial department has been short of manpower recently, so your workload is a little bigger, I hope you will take care of it a little more, and when I report to the president at the end of the month, I will help you ask for a bonus." ”

"Xie Lu Xie Editor-in-Chief ......" bowed and thanked him, Park Jinyu hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Uh, editor-in-chief, I want to ask, is there any vacancy in the online version of the society?"

"Huh?" the editor-in-chief frowned, "why do you ask this?"

"That's it, I want to write a review of a new movie......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the editor-in-chief waving his hand: "Jin Yu, you are no longer a freelance writer, nor are you a professional film critic, you are now an editor, and your vision can no longer be limited to film and television, you have to look at the market! What is the current market? Is it that group of nonsensical filmmakers, what the people like to watch now are filmmakers and what jokes are made, and what new jokes are scolded by the media, who will read any film reviews? Hmm...... Which new movie?"

"The King's Man" ......"

The editor-in-chief frowned and thought for a moment, before he suddenly remembered: "Is it the one that Ahn Junhyuk participated in and produced?" Alas, I found that you were fascinated by that guy, and if you treat him as a lucky star, you can't stare at him every day, right? Besides, the current box office list is the world of "Head Master 2", even if you want to write a movie review, you should write it!"

Park Jinyu's mouth moved, but he didn't know what to say, he was stupid, otherwise he would not have narrowly lost to Song Bingshu when he was competing for the position, and then he still relied on luck to squeeze the other party down.

After some criticism that is not light or serious, the editor-in-chief naturally has to be appeased, seeing that he wants to speak and stop, the editor-in-chief scratches his bald head: "In this way, if you want to write a movie review for it, when will it be the box office box office list weekly champion, I will contact the club and leave a place for you in the headlines of the film and television section, how about it?"

Park Jinyu hesitated, thought about it, and nodded: "Xie Lu Xie Editor-in-Chief." ”

"Hehe, go to work!"

Seeing Park Jinwoo thank you and leave, the smile on the editor-in-chief's face gradually subsided, turned on the computer, searched on Naver, and did not see the report of "The King's Man" in the news.

"Champion...... How can it be so easy to break through?" The editor-in-chief secretly sneered, up to now, the box office of "Head Master 2" has exceeded 5 million viewers, dominating the box office list for as many as 4 weeks, and even Hollywood's two blockbusters "King Kong" and "The Chronicles of Narnia" have to be relegated to the bottom, a historical drama with a same-sex theme, how can it be possible to stand out and reach the top under their oppression!

is still young, and the blood is just unwilling to admit defeat, and after a while, when he sees "The King's Man" under the siege of many films, he will be able to understand the cruelty of that circle.

Thinking about it, the editor-in-chief forgot about it in a blink of an eye.

……

After watching the movie and returning home, Ahn Jun-hyuk began to hire online trolls to publish his impressions of "The King's Man" in various communities.

Now is a special time, the strength of the media is currently mainly focused on the continuous protest of filmmakers, the rigidity of the committee is unexpectedly tenacious, after the initial rustiness, headed by An Shengji, mainly composed of artists, this committee has gradually found the trick of confrontation with the media, and now the two sides have fought the offensive and defensive battles on various public opinion platforms, which has greatly satisfied the people's psychology of watching the excitement.

With this as a premise, pure film and television news, basically no one pays attention to it, and it can no longer be like before, after the movie is promoted and released, you can wait for the media to stand up and report to attract the attention of more audiences - publicity is to leave an impression on the audience, a large part of them can only be regarded as potential fans of a movie, and if they want to pay money to enter the cinema, they also need the media's evaluation of the film as a guide and mobilization.

Now, J.H has to do it himself!

But such fermentation still takes time, and on the first day of its premiere, "The King's Man" did not show the potential to be a blockbuster movie. After the day's screening, Mega.Box quickly counted the number of moviegoers in more than 50 theaters under Mega.Box on this day - this is the benefit of chain cinemas, as well as regular theater lines, the ticketing system is networked statistics, and a number is immediately recorded on the host when a piece is sold, which is very convenient, and can largely eliminate the possibility of stealing the box office.

Subsequently, Minister Hong Sung-woo, who is currently in charge of liaison with J.H on the Mega.Box side, called Ahn Jun-hyuk's mobile phone: "Ahn Jun-hyuk, the box office statistics are out, starting from the first screening at 10:30 in the morning and ending at 10 o'clock at night, a total of 6,700 screenings were screened on 502 screens across the country throughout the day, and the number of moviegoers was 191,265. ”

When Hong Chengyou reported the data, his tone was a little heavy.

Only 6,700 screenings of 500 screens, according to the original arrangement, indicate that many screening halls are idle - after all, Mega.Box has already drawn all other films offline - the reason for this situation is probably because the attendance rate of a single screening is too low, and in order to reduce operating costs, many theaters have to concentrate two or even three audiences together.

This also reflects from the side that the box office situation is not ideal, not to mention that the specific number of moviegoers is only 190,000.

500 screens, 190,000 people, an average income of more than 3 million won per screen, and then according to the agreement to share accounts, pay taxes, and pay various expenses of the theater (including liquidated damages), for a whole day, these more than 50 theaters under Mega.Box may only barely be enough to maintain the balance of payments!

Sitting in the study at home, Ahn Junhyuk also frowned slightly, although he thought that the results of the premiere were not ideal, but it was still a little unexpected to be so bad.

But soon, he suppressed the uncomfortable feeling and said to Hong Chengyou on the other end of the phone: "On the first day of the premiere, you don't have to worry, I haven't heard of any movie that can decide the final box office at the premiere, the beast a while ago, the premiere was close to 300,000, and then it became poison? Now there are no 100,000 viewers in a single week." ”

Over there, Hong Sung-woo also seemed to find that his tone was not very good, he was silent for a while, and said with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, I'm a little excited......" Ahn Jun-hyuk is right, the premiere can't decide the final box office, and now the two sides are still in a cooperative relationship, and before the final result comes out, there is no need to be dirty because of uncertain things.

Soon he adjusted his mentality and began to talk about other aspects: "Today is not all bad, although the box office performance is not very good, but the reputation is quite good, among the 190,000 people today, many of them have been watched twice or three times, we have selected a theater in each city to conduct a viewing survey, and the response is very good, with a total score of 10 points, "The King's Man" has a high evaluation of 9.25 points...... Ahn Jun Hyuk xi, this is a higher rating than "Tai Chi Flag Flying", breaking its record of 9.21 points, congratulations!"

"Rejoice and rejoice!"

In fact, both of them know that this evaluation score has no meaning now, and the high score of "Tai Chi Flag Flying" can be remembered and used as a record, the most important reason is its box office myth of 10 million viewers.

Without a box office base, who will remember the theatrical rating of an obscure film? South Korea does not have such an authoritative rating agency as IMDB.

However, although it didn't have much effect, Ahn Jun-hyuk still asked Hong Sung-woo for specific scoring results, and then put them on J.H.'s official website for "The King's Man".

Now, "The King's Man" has been publicized enough, and it is left to increase popularity and attract potential audiences to pay out of pocket for support, this kind of hype method of putting gold on their faces, naturally the more the better......!
