Chapter Twenty-Six: The Wind Has Changed
is different from the expectations of the people and the applause of various fans, the film industry and the actor circle are a wolf attitude.
Because of the sluggish film market and the impact of Hollywood films, last year, although the Korean film industry had "The King's Man" and "The Monster of the Han River" set new box office records one after another, but in addition, only 107 films shot hundreds of films shot throughout the year could be on the big screen, of which only 6 films with a yield of more than 50% included "The King's Man", "Monster of the Han River" and "Radio Star", only 13 films with a yield of 30%, and the remaining 88 films could not be offset.
From this, we can see that in the last year, only A made money, or a lot of money, although only three movies were made, but the income of the three movies exceeded 50%, which is directly reflected in the acquisition of 54 theaters under MegaBox in the first half of the year, with 400 screens, A has become a large company integrating film creation, production, distribution, and screening.
As the saying goes, peers are enemies, and last year's profit of his family was estimated to exceed the profit of Zhongwu Road for the whole year. (Chungmuro is a street in central Seoul, South Korea, which has a large number of filming locations and many directors, and is known as the "Hollywood" of South Korea, so it has become synonymous with the Korean film industry.) )
Last year, I watched A Company, watched An Yuxi spend money like water, waving money to buy movie theater chains, acquiring record companies, and spending hundreds of millions of dollars to fight with the telecom giant SKT...... Where did all this money come from? It's not that we were robbed of our money!
Didn't you see that Ahn Woo-seo could come up with 10 billion won to make a movie!
10 billion! 10 billion!
How can this not make other film companies jealous, envious, hate? Maybe his money doesn't just come from movies, but who cares so much!
As for CJ, Showbox, and Lotte, although these three film and television giants have a big business, they inevitably have some pimples in their hearts, seeing that other people's homes are booming, but their own family is gloomy, even if they won't go against A company clearly, but they don't want to see A company and An Yuxi's jokes, and they have to push it and disgust them.
What? Ahn Woo used to make a movie?
Well, you won't do it, you will act in a movie?
Why do you bother?
Come and steal our director's job!
And the jobs of our actors!
What are you talking about? An Yuxi wrote, directed, and acted by himself, and also scored his own soundtrack?, how confident you are!
And the script, you can take it out and read it! Is the script really written by you?
……
The heroine is a trainee under the age of 17?
What are the actors? Kang Ho-dong, Yoo Jae-seok, Kim Ji-dong? Are you sure this is a movie?
What? Actors have Kim Hee-cheol, Park Youtian, prodigy?
Gagman and Idol? Did they play well?
When I saw the list of performances, everyone felt this way - this is a challenge to the rhythm of the film industry and show business!
There is not a regular actor? Oh, did I see Yoon Eun-hye's name? It's just that she is a singer-turned-actress, right? Cha Tae-hyun's trick is so gorgeous and ignored.
Even the title of "Four Completes" is considered a gimmick.
In the Korean entertainment industry, film actor is the most "noble" profession, and this concept has been deeply imprinted in the mind of every Korean person, and almost every artist wants to make a movie with all his might.
However, An Yuxi, a person, actually relied on money to directly become the producer, director, and even actor of a large-scale movie.
His behavior aroused the disgust and jealousy of many people in the film industry, and some people even jumped out to criticize him shirtless.
"It is precisely because of this kind of existence in Korean films that Korean films will become sluggish day by day, and they are not as good as before. "Someone jumped out and said this, what a hatred this is, and actually put such a big hat on him!
"An Yuxi's behavior is to spoil art with money!"
All kinds of criticisms are coming like a tide, An Yuxi's identity as a singer before, which made his behavior touch the sensitive nerves of many people in the film industry.
Last year, we swept the music industry and are not satisfied?
These guys ignore his identity, a film major at Seoul National University, and just seize on his status in the entertainment industry to make a big fuss, obviously jealous.
He just made waves in the music industry...... Now he has come to our film industry to make trouble, of course, it will cause a backlash from people in the film industry, the cake is only so big, of course one more person is one less, and the appeal of A Club last year is still vivid!
Not only that, but his behavior also caused dissatisfaction among mainstream film actors, because no one in Ahn Yuxi's movies was born as a professional actor, you look at the starring role, Ahn Yuxi made his debut as a singer, Lin Xiaoyun is a member of the preparatory girl group, and Kim Hee-cheol, Kim Jae-jung, as well as Kang Hu-dong, Yoo Jae-seok, Kim Ji-dong...... Look at these people, where is there a professional actor!
Because in Korea, stars are divided into three levels, the first level is film and television actors, the second level is singer idols, and the third level is comedy artists that are Gagman!
In South Korea, where the hierarchy is deep-rooted, most people are still reluctant to cross over to grab their jobs from idol singers. Therefore, many singers-turned-actors are not welcomed by traditional actors, which is the dilemma faced by many singers, and they have crossed the line!
And An Yuxi is undoubtedly challenging this "unspoken rule"!
Don't do your job!
One's literary talent is at an ebb!
There were doubts on the Internet, and many media also changed the direction, and they were still saying good things about An Yuxi without discipline, but now they have changed their positions.
Some people say that An Yuxi is not doing his job, mainly because his identity as a former musician is deep-rooted, you just write your songs, why do you still come to make movies!
"Let's go back to your song world!" someone even came up with such a slogan.
Some people also came out to "speak" for An Yuxi, saying that the new movie is just An Yuxi's big toy, because this is his graduation work, and he funded it independently, I just hope that the movie he made will not smash the golden sign of AWM.
Here's what others say:
"Is AWM already exhausted, and he can't get any good movies, so he starts to rely on his own signboard to eat!"
"Is An Yuxi unable to write good songs, that's why he started to be an actor!"
There are also brain-dead fans who are not used to seeing it! Why does he want to play the leading actor himself, wouldn't it be good for him to be the director? Why don't let Mao play the leading role! -- Of course, there are also such people! After all, this is only a small group of people.
……
As for not holding a press conference, many people think that he is not confident enough......
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, especially the "noble circle" that is even more chaotic, and the voices of doubt have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
However, because of An Yuxi's previous "famous murderous name", it is not a state of collapse, An Yuxi also has the title of "little prince who slaps his face" in the media, when they attacked "The King's Man", when they attacked "No More Love", ...... Aren't they all slapped in the face one by one!
Especially a certain media that specializes in opposing An Yuxi, his face was swollen, and he finally became a little more honest.
That's what "Seoul Sports" said, "A director who hits the streets, an outdated singer, a group of third-rate actors, a new company that likes second-hand goods, and a disgusting brokeback plot" - this is "The King's Man." ”
This kind of report opened a map cannon, basically as long as the people involved in the movie were scolded, it is estimated that the Buddha is on fire, but "The King's Man" finally directly broke 10 million and slapped "Seoul Sports" in the face, and Seoul Sports has also become a laughing stock in the industry.
For the current behemoth of AWM, a little finger can be gently crushed to death.
There are still many people who remain neutral and support Ahn Woo-seok, such as Professor Kim Hee-jae of Seoul National University, who spoke directly in support of his students.
There are also fans who also support their idols, and the first to fight back is not An Yuxi's fans, but the fairy queen and goblins, and then the angel army also secretly put on a vest and went into battle.
Why do you say that our Oppa is not good! Come on, come on, tear up!
……
In this way, a war of words broke out on the Internet.
As for An Yuxi, he didn't have time to pay attention to it, anyway, his goal had been achieved.
Although he knew that it was rumored that he couldn't spit out any ivory, An Yuxi, who was still angry, almost smiled...... It's really a response to the saying that there are many people who are popular, and they always have no good words in their mouths for Mao?
"It's okay, there's no need for the company's publicity department to worry about this now, it's not the time yet, just pay attention to it, the main focus is still on Bigbang!"
"Yes, President Nim. The other party hung up the phone.
Call or text a few good people and tell them that they are okay, especially their mentor, Professor Kim Hee-jae, don't get so excited, and your grandfather, don't get excited!
"Wow, this report really makes people want to hit someone!" An Yuxi took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart.
"After all, you are still young and have developed so well, it is normal for many people to be jealous!" said producer Kim Jun-ho, who reassured that he didn't know how many people were waiting to see the joke!
"I know, but I guess everyone has seen the report, and I'll enlighten them later. "In this place like the entertainment industry, either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind, after so many years, An Yuxi has long been used to it.
"Everyone, gather together! The director has something to say!"
The actors and crew quickly put down what they were doing and concentrated.
"Everyone should have read the reports from the outside world!"
"Na!"
"Yes!" replied in a mixed voice, but An Yuxi knew that someone was affected.
"If you feel uncomfortable, don't watch it, so as not to affect the shooting!" This sentence felt a little negative, and some people muttered in their hearts.
"I've always proved it with practical actions!" An Yuxi's words made the eyes of the people below light up.
"So!" An Yuxi smiled slightly, raised his fist, and clenched it hard, "Fighting!"
"Fighting!" The previous uneasiness was swept away, and An Yuxi's confident smile and words calmed everyone's hearts.
Yes, we don't bother to fight back with words, we only use actual actions to prove a qiē!
