"Train to Busan" seems to have become an overnight hit!

There are a lot of friends in the circle of friends Amway, and they are proudly showing off when they grab tickets for the test screening... The word-of-mouth skyrocketed for several days, so that the audience who couldn't see it had to complain about the company. This time it's not about scolding them, but about letting them hurry up and release it on a large scale.

As for "Deadly Virus", in comparison, the box office is still stable, and it has exceeded one million moviegoers, but this is completely attracted by the fame of Kang Woo Suk and Song Kang Ho. Originally, the number of moviegoers was expected to exceed 5 million, but Shobox has lowered its expectations, and it is God forbid that it can exceed 2 million.

The popularity of the film has also attracted the attention of many industry insiders.

After quietly going to see it, there was nothing to say.

Are there any technical innovations in "Train to Busan"? Or is it the novelty of the subject matter that is attractive? No, this is a Hollywood-style script, coupled with Korean drama-style dog blood, the screenwriter let the leading actors hang up one by one in order to sensationalize, and in the end, even the male protagonist is no exception.

Will they be able to shoot it?

Of course you can, but at the end of the day, it's still a well-written script. Of course, Li Shushi's directing skills are not bad, and Li Mo's script is well shot into a movie.

Moreover, Li Mo metaphorized in the movie that the incompetence of the South Korean government would lead to such a tragedy in the movie, which really hit the audience's G-spot. Like the so-called cooking politics of American fathers, it is always the government that does the wrong thing, and it is always the government that bears the blame. In short, as long as the government is scolded wrong, in the new year, the economic environment is still so poor, and the ordinary people of South Korea are naturally holding their anger in their hearts.

Some public figures in South Korea have also used Li Mo's example to criticize the government for corruption and incompetence. Li Mo is a foreigner who sees the mistake, and the 'meat eaters' in high positions are still doing their own thing.

Regarding this, Li Mo resolutely refused to admit that he had the intention of criticizing the South Korean government. He's just a small businessman, just sneak a metaphor, who would stand up stupidly?

He's going to continue to make money in South Korea.

But soon Li Mo and others will face a difficult choice: should they give up the month-long test screening and small-scale screening to accumulate word of mouth, or continue to persevere?

"I think it's important to keep going. The disrupted plan that was already done will not only affect the follow-up work, but also have to renegotiate with the theater company at the same time, back and forth, and there are too many uncertain factors. Choi Jong-so originally had a radical personality, but at this time he insisted on a conservative attitude.

The more popular "Train to Busan" is, the more cautious you must be. If it is because of improper operation, this movie that looks like it is going to soar will die, it is not something that can be described with distress.

"No, both CJ-M and Rakuten Entertainment have contacted me and hope to release the movie on a large scale as soon as possible. Too many test screenings are likely to cause some audiences to get bored with the movie, after all, no one wants to be hung up. ”

"Are they willing to arrange a prime time slot for "Train to Busan"?"

"Of course, their evaluation department has raised the box office expectation for "Train to Busan" to 8 million viewers."

Choi Jong-so looked at Li Mo, who was turning his pen idle, "President Li, what is your opinion?" ”

This emergency meeting also brought Li Mo in.

"Soonest they can arrange a large-scale release?"

"The beginning of February was for sure."

Li Mo raised his eyebrows, "If you can arrange the schedule within a week, and you want the best time and the most venues." In that case, I have no opinion. ”

These two are the most difficult points, but the company's top management agrees with this suggestion. Now it is they who take the initiative, and if neither CJ-M nor Lotte can be satisfied, it will be a big deal to go ahead with the original plan.

Who knew that CJ-M and Lotte immediately agreed, and with the efforts of both parties, they did their best to prepare for a large-scale release.

On February 5, "Train to Busan" landed in major theaters.

Jiang Dongyuan, the leading actor, has long been in the military camp to serve, and he simply doesn't engage in such a vain thing as the premiere. However, the publicity still has to be done, and the leading actors ran to several places in a few days. The VIP show of the day was even more star-studded, and the two theater companies CJ-M and Lotte joined forces, and the stars were naturally happy to cheer on the show, and at the same time, they also wanted to watch the latest popular movies for the first time.

Although there was no premiere, there was no red carpet. But a large number of reporters and fans gathered at the theater door of the VIP show, and they cheered when they saw a star arrive, unaffected by the freezing temperature outside.

Kang Youshuo and Huang Junyu are also wrapped like zongzi, and they are wearing masks, so basically no one can recognize them.

Of course, coming to the cinema is not to watch his own movies, and the poor performance of "Deadly Virus" has his own part: he is in a hurry. And many ideas came to mind after reading Li Mo's half of the script, picking up people's teeth and wisdom and hurrying works, it seems that it is not surprising to encounter Waterloo.

But Kang Youshuo held his breath in his heart, he wanted to see how good Li Mo's script was so that the audience could unanimously approve it?

Huang Junyu is more tired, busy working, spending money and contributing, but he can't hold back Li Mo, the bastard!

With different thoughts, the two bought tickets and then entered the screening hall with the flow of people. The good reputation on the Internet has had a very good effect, and in the popular movie theaters, the attendance rate has even reached more than 90%.

Ninety minutes passed quickly, and Kang Woo Suk and Hwang Jun Woo, who watched the movie, were speechless. I didn't expect Li Mo to get to such a point, and in the second half of the period, people kept getting bento and hanging up, just to sensationalize, simple and rude. Even the scene at the end of the movie where the pregnant woman escaped with the little girl, and the little girl cried and sang at the same time, made the professionals even more disgusting.

But the audience watched it coolly, and online reviews said that the last scene was the most touching scene in the whole movie.

This situation is well reflected in the box office data obtained the next day.

872,232 people!

set the best premiere record, and the screenwriter of this movie turned out to be a Chinese, which directly made many Korean filmmakers ashamed.

, CJ-M, and Lotte all have made the publicity department more aggressive, and the higher the box office, the more money they make. On the contrary, the shobox, who rejected Li Mo for Kang Youshuo's sake, is now in charge, and his intestines are all repentant. You must know that Li Mo first asked them to cooperate, who knew that it would be cheaper than the competitors.

A week later.

The box office of "Train to Busan" was the number of people in the first week, setting the best first-week box office record in film history, and Korean filmmakers were suddenly silent!
