"Who can stop it?"

The entertainment edition of the new day of "JoongAng Daily" published the latest box office information of "The King's Man", and the time entered mid-March, and "Wang Man" swept the film industry by a hurricane, strangling many films to the point that they had no power to fight back.

Released for 8 weeks, "Head Master 2" is the biggest victim, its final box office still did not reach more than 6.5 million, unfortunately stopped at 6.12 million people came to an end, the new week's weekly box office list, the two just-released movies "Promiscuous Scholar" and "Youth Comics", one after the other ranked below "Wang Nan", in the face of its release for 5 weeks, still maintaining a total box office share of 40% of the horror results trembling.

"Youth Comics" is the second film released by Kwon Sang-woo this year, the former popular king of South Korea, 2 months ago because of the box office failure of "Beast", ridiculed by film critics as box office poison, and also condemned by angry fans, on March 10, when "Youth Comics" held its premiere, when asked by the media what he thought of "Wang Nan", he expressed his hope to take over the championship of "Wang Nan"!

Then he was very depressed that night, and was besieged on the Internet by Wang Nan's fans who suffered from "Ahn Junhyuk Syndrome", scolding him for not doing his best.

He has reason to feel depressed, originally "Youth Comics" was going to premiere in early February, but when "Wang Nan" suddenly broke out, he had to postpone the release time again and again, until it was postponed for more than a month, and the production company could no longer be silent about the investment pressure, so it had to be launched today 5 weeks after the release of "Wang Nan".

The words he said, "I hope to take over the championship", are also the thoughts of the production and distributor, including the entire crew. Under normal circumstances, after 5 weeks of release, the potential of a movie has almost reached its limit, and even if it is still being released later, it should not be able to overwhelm the new film.

But what he didn't expect was that he was angrily scolded by the group of guys suffering from "Ahn Junhyuk syndrome" the night before, and the next day he made another ugly appearance in the box office list - the box office share of the premiere of "Youth Comics" was only 8%, and he was strangled by 40% of "Wang Nan"!

Kwon Sang-woo himself was forcibly given the title of "King of Bad Movies" by the media for the second time because of the lack of box office.

However, there is no shortage of challengers in this world. "Youth" is still alive. CJ Entertainment's blockbuster 'Promiscuous Scholar' was followed by a clarion call for the challenge.

CJ Entertainment's promotion of "The Promiscuous Scholar" was based on the gimmick of "a historical drama that is not inferior to "The King's Man", and the entire promotional plan also invested 2 billion yuan, and the premiere scale was also 500 screens. Everything is according to the standard specifications of "Wang Nan". Clear-eyed people can see that CJ Entertainment is targeting "The King's Man".

But it's a pity. No matter how plump the ideal is, it will be cut into a pile of clean ribs when it encounters reality, and "The Promiscuous Scholar" premiered 100,000 times. was chopped to pieces by the 240,000 "Wang Nan" of the day without any suspense!

The box office plummeted on the second day of the premiere, from the original 100,000 to 60,000, and the evaluation of it on the Internet was surprisingly consistent.

"There are no new works, and they can only rely on disgusting obscene names to win attention", "Can you dare to compare with Wang Nan at such a level? Can Han Seok-gyu's performance be compared to Ahn Jun-hyuk? Can it be compared to Gan Woo-sung?", "It's disappointing, I thought it was such an excellent film, but it turned out to be just an old-fashioned love drama"

It was also rated very low by critics.

In general, the film wants to show irony and secular aesthetics, but unfortunately the rhythm drags on, and the deliberately created sad ending makes the whole movie look different - "Korean Film Review"

There is an obvious rhythm problem, and the promotion also chooses the wrong focus, so that the audience has too much expectation, and then it is inevitable to be disappointed - "Korean Movie of the Week"

CJ Entertainment was obviously stimulated by "Wang Man" to lose its sense of proportion, so much so that it actually used this kind of stupid trick, but it's a pity that this is a pretty good film - "Movie Fashion"

Two new films in a row have not been able to break through the blockade of a movie that has been released for 5 weeks, such a thing is obviously beyond everyone's expectations.

Previously, some professionals analyzed that the final box office of "Wang Nan" could reach about 9 million, and many media even thought that this figure was a bit "too optimistic", but now, after completing the strangulation, "Wang Man" has exceeded 8.3 million viewers, successfully surpassing "Friends" (8.18 million), which ranks third in film history, and ranks among the top three in new history.

This box office figure has greatly stimulated the nerves of the media and the people, but "The King's Man" doesn't seem to want to stop at all, and the time has entered March 13, the 6th week of the release of "Wang Man", ranking first in the pre-sale list for 6 consecutive weeks, and ranking first in the single-day and single-week box office list for 6 consecutive weeks, and by the way, another challenger was strangled.

The new challenger, the Hollywood blockbuster "Memoirs of a Geisha," which was released last year and received multiple nominations and qualifies for the Oscars, has been surrounded by various halos since last year, with Hollywood's most famous director Steven Spielberg as its executive producer, based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Joseph Gordon, which Japan regards as the greatest film, and Hollywood is fascinated by the exoticism it depicts, describing Sayuri as breathtakingly beautiful.

But here, it suffered a Waterloo, ranking second with 150,000 premieres and less than 20% of the box office.

When the portal Daum Entertainment reported the news in real time, it joked in a witty tone that the "man" ran over the "woman", and the "man" did not stop!

And more media exclaimed-

"Who's going to stop it?"

No one!

Throughout March, the only thing that could pose a threat to it had been reduced to the bones at its feet, adding another glorious record to its brighter and brighter book of glory.

Then, in the excited, shocked, and fearful gaze of the people, it rumbled past the 9 million mark and continued to crush forward!

……

……

"Birth of the Record Terminator!"

On the day that the box office of "Wang Nan" exceeded 9 million, Yahoo Korea took the lead in shouting this slogan, "According to the record, the record of the fastest breakthrough from 8 million to 9 million in history was created by "Tai Chi Flag Flying", which took 6 days, and "Wang Man" set a new record today, it completed the transition from 8 million to 9 million 37 hours earlier than "Tai Chi Flag Flying"!"

"Record Terminator! How far does it have to go?"

This was a cry of excitement from Yahoo Korea, and no one could answer it.

One could only look at this terrible chariot in amazement, roaring and continuing to kill, it began to charge at the top two in film history, and it continued to set records.

In the 7th week, the number of theaters of "The King's Man" dropped to 350 across the country, and most independent theaters began to be unable to participate in the competition of Mega.Box and Lotte Cinema.

Although they are missing, the movie-going craze of "Wang Nan" has reappeared due to the reduction of theaters, and the pomp and circumstance of the film's first three weeks of release once again appeared in the media footage of the follow-up report, which made an SBS trainee anchor exclaim, "This is an unprecedented miracle".

But for fans who suffered from "Ahn Joon-hyuk Syndrome", she exclaimed too early.

They like the title of record terminator given to "Wang Nan" by the media, they like to see people surprised by the records set by "Wang Nan", and they like to see a lot of so-called professionals, so-called analysis experts, who are speechless because of the wrong prediction when predicting the box office of "Wang Nan".

They prefer to watch that with their efforts, "Wang Nan" is firmly and violently moving towards the box office peak of tens of millions of people step by step.

According to the latest statistics from some media, at present, on the message board of the official website of J.H "The King's Man", more than one-third of all the people who have left a message have contributed more than one movie ticket to "The King's Man", and some people have been chasing after it since the release, going to the cinema every few days or a week to see their "Kongji", and then posting it on the Internet to feel new feelings.

Some people who have only recently started and have just taken the time out to watch the movie and become obsessed with it, they are not shy about expressing their love on message boards, and then showing off the movie tickets they have bought.

The most exaggerated is a crazy lover, this fan who has received media attention, because he watched "The King's Man" alternately 4 times a day on average, a total of 35 times, and created his own personal record, and his record is still hanging on the J.H official website, no one has broken it for the time being!

The closer the time approaches the 10 million mark, the more fanatical the fans become, especially Ahn Junhyuk's original fans, those who have accompanied him from obscurity, started as a TV actor, and accompanied him through three rookie periods (TV, songs, movies), and also experienced the black ocean, all day long to mobilize on the An family Xiaozhu, whose scale has expanded again.

Because of the popularity of "The King's Man", the registered fans of An Jia Xiaozhu have exceeded 500,000, and it has also created a record for the number of registered fans of SOLO idol stars in South Korea, as well as the total record in the three fields of songs, television, and movies.

This record is the proudest honor of all fans, and it also stimulates them to try to push their idols to higher heights.

Under such a frenzy, time came to the 7th week weekend, on March 22, "The King's Man", which was released for 40 days, crossed 10 million people without suspense, and officially entered the 10 million box office club in Korean film history, becoming the third film with more than 10 million viewers since the birth of Korean films, closely following "Shibi Island" and "Taiji Flag Flying".

"Crazy phenomenon, crazy syndrome!" The "JoongAng Daily", which first called the fanaticism of fans who love "Kong Ji" and is obsessed with Ahn Junhyuk syndrome, once again described "syndrome" on this film that has brought too many miracles.

"How far can it go?" more media, while excited, couldn't help but ask this question again.

Once again, "Wang Nan" dominates the front pages of all media! (To be continued......)
