On the day that AWM's official website announced that it would take over "The King's Man", "Seoul Sports" reported the news on the online version, and then it was reprinted everywhere. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Whether the person who sees the news is to ridicule AWM's first step is to accept the second-hand goods that others don't want, or reprimand AWM for grandstanding, or even insinuate that An Yuxi, a family member, is too stupid and naïve, in short, public opinion has to quarrel to pay attention, and a pool of stagnant news is never good news, at least people still maintain a lot of interest in the attention of "The King's Man".

Although the evaluation of "Seoul Sports" is very unpleasant, if you investigate it carefully, it can even be called insulting.

"Gan Woo-sung, Lee Jun-gi, Jung Jin-young, Kang Sung-yeon...... Four thunderous names, the moment you hear them, they can even startle your eyeballs, and you can't help but exclaim who are these people?? ”

"Seoul Sports" said this at the beginning, and then posted the resumes of the four people below, and the editor spared no effort to sarcastic: "...... In order to find out the above resume, I searched through the cast list of almost every film in recent years. But readers have to understand that otherwise, I'm really afraid of being accused of being unheard of for saying the wrong movie one of them has acted in...... I think they should be thankful to AWM, because AWM published their list, and then we were curious to look it up, and now, their names can finally be remembered! They are also lucky that after a month's break, they can finally continue to work and get paid! ”

“…… 10 billion, what a ridiculous number, is there one-20th of the total salary of several leading actors? What will the rest of the budget be spent on? Did it all go to the movie? I heard that it is a historical drama, so I may be able to expect that there may be a grand war scene? But unfortunately, I heard that there are still same-sex tendencies in it...... In this way, the so-called war seems to be a group of big men shirtless with affection? It's a sad subject......"

“…… An Yuxi may have been carried away by his success in music, and when Li Junyi showed him the script, he probably didn't know who Yan Shanjun was, or he didn't even know the name Zhang Lushui, he might only see that it was a historical drama. felt that the audience would buy it, so he enthusiastically paid for it to Li Junyi, the comedy director, to squander, he felt that his TV series was a big hit, the record was a big hit, and he was a hero? Can anything go smoothly? Today is not April Fool's Day! ”

"I'm still a young man, I only know how to be different." The editor seems to be laughing at An Yuxi's too young, too simple Tucson break.

"There is always no shortage of people who covet Chungwulu like this, and when they become a little famous and attract attention, they think that they are the center of the world, and some people don't understand what movies are at all, and they dream that I will definitely be able to pay attention to them, and then shoot a bunch of unsightly garbage that can't even get into one screen. 10 billion won, if there is really this money, it makes more sense to clean the toilets in Chungmuro-ro than this, if there is no such money, then in a few months, the news we see may be the joke of a certain celebrity filing for bankruptcy protection! ”

And it's not the only one who makes similar remarks, almost no one is optimistic about this movie, not almost, but not at all, and even the company is not very optimistic...

"Cine21" is not far behind, on the new issue of tracking "Unreleased Potential Movies" attention list, "The King's Man" dropped from the original ranking 6th to 15th, "Cine21" gave it an evaluation: "I can't see the hope of success!" ”

"Aren't the shareholders of AWM coming out to take care of it? Didn't President Lee Chen-so of CCM stop it? This kind of money-throwing behavior ・・・・・・"

These taunts are not unfounded.

Since the Asian financial crisis in 98 and the abolition of the film cutting system and the change to a film classification system, the revival of Korean films has inevitably suffered from shocks.

A large number of domestic capitalists have been affected by the financial turmoil on the investment industry, and they cannot spend the money in their hands, just as Wall Street hunted Hollywood in the United States decades ago, and the capitalists have also set their sights on the film industry, which is slowly reviving.

A large amount of money poured into Chungmuro, which was originally quite simple, but was soon stirred into a quagmire by the turbulent currents, and the arts, dreams, and struggles were gradually replaced by money and commerce, and the capitalists waved the money in their hands and frantically occupied Chungmuro, and a large number of movies were born.

More than 1,000 movies are produced in South Korea every year, and the total number of moviegoers per year remains at about 150 million.

On average, each movie is watched by less than 200,000 people at most, while the basic profit line of a movie is 1.5 million.

Capitalists invest in movies, not because they dislike too much money and throw it around, but because they want to make a profit and make money! To kill from so many movies, to let the audience see the movie they invested in from a bunch of messy titles, it is not enough to rely on the movie story alone, now is not the era when the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, gradually, big scenes, big stars, and big cost publicity have become the main factors in whether a movie can make a profit.

Among them, the role of stars is dominant.

The reason why those media criticize mercilessly is also because of this, a movie without big-name stars is congenitally weak, not to mention that it has dragged on for so long, as for winning the counterattack with a story? It's not impossible.

But just like "Screen" joked on the prospect prediction of "The King's Man": "Compared with this small probability event, I would rather believe that tomorrow there will be a meteorite from outer space that will smash into our editorial room. ”

In the face of doubts and merciless humiliation from the outside world, Ahn Woo-seo did not make any remarks, but he originally just wanted to participate in the production of film music, but he was also aroused, and he decided to serve as an assistant director with director Kim Jun-ho.

Everything, let the facts speak.

In the face of one-sided public opinion pressure, everyone's pressure is very great, although there are some resentments, but everyone dare not slack off, this is the first movie produced by the company!

Because the crew also came in a lot of people who were originally CCM and NA, it still took a little time to run in.

――

March 9 is Kim Tae-yeon's birthday.

At the same time, this day is the day when the second round of selection of the girl group named "Xu Xianzhen Group" by S.M Company was announced.

Now, the list of candidates for the second round of selection has been posted on the propaganda board, which is the biggest thing for S.M company recently, as soon as the list comes out, it is full of people, there are many female trainees, and there are also many male trainees, this part is mainly to see the excitement.

"Let one go, let one go." It was still Lin Xiaoyun and Cui Xiuying who opened the way, Jessica and Tiffany held hands, and a group of 8 people broke through the crowd and walked over, looking mighty and domineering.

Everyone consciously got out of the way, these girls don't care about their background, just their strength, and they were selected for the first round of selection, their status in the company is self-evident, and the relationship between them is also envied by many people.

"This is Kim Taeyeon?" Suddenly, someone whispered.

"Kim Taeyeon is here..."

Seeing someone mention herself, Kim Taeyeon didn't feel anything wrong, because she won the year-end award and she was Ahn Woo-si's younger sister, she was still well-known in the S.M company, but she felt that the way they looked at her was a little weird, Kim Taeyeon subconsciously lowered her head.

"Jessica, Kwon Yoo-ri, Choi so-young, Lim Yoon-a, Seo Joo-hyun, Kim Hyo-yeon, Tiffany..." Choi so-young was looking for it, and while reading the name, she suddenly got stuck.

"Where's Taeyeon?" Not hearing Kim Tae-yeon's name, Kwon Yoo-ri craned her neck and looked at the list.

"No Taeyeon!" Cui Xiuying looked for it again and said with some astonishment.

No Taeyeon!!

How could there be no Kim Taeyeon!

"No, it won't." Kim Tae-yeon, who was still laughing to ease her nervousness, felt that her heart was beating half a beat slower, her face became pale at once, there was no blood, and her hands and feet were cold.

“・・・・・・”

Kim Taeyeon seriously searched the list three times, but still did not have her name.

Defeated!

It was like being hit hard with a stick, Kim Taeyeon only felt that her head was a little dazed, tears were already rolling in her eyes, she bit her lower lip tightly, trying not to let herself cry, so many people watched.

Kim Taeyeon just thinks that everyone's eyes are hot, sympathetic, ridiculed, gloating...

An Yuxi's younger sister and the winner of the big prize at the end of last year's song festival, why wasn't she selected? Absolute strength, everyone sees it, it shouldn't be!

"There must be a mistake!" Although Lin Xiaoyun said this, he was a little lacking in confidence, how could this kind of thing be wrong.

"Maybe I've offended someone!"

"What, it must be Director Kim Young-min who has seen through her essence! Maybe her big reward is..." The others whispered, most of them not good words, and some even made slanderous remarks, and their dissatisfaction or jealousy of Kim Taeyeon suddenly exploded.

The wall fell down and everyone pushed it...

These words, like a knife, cut on her heart, drenched in blood, wanted to say something, but looking at the eyes of the people around her, Kim Taeyeon only felt that her whole body was exposed to the hot sun, drying all her strength, but her heart was very cold, as if she had been abandoned by the whole world, helpless, she didn't know what to do.

Until a hand was heavily placed on her shoulder, and she turned back blankly, it was Jessica, as well as Tiffany and others, who gave her a piece of warmth.

"Yikes! What are you guys talking about! Kim Hyo-yeon suddenly looked like a gangster in the village, frowned, and stood up with his legs crossed, and Choi so-young, Lim Xiao-yoon and others also stood up, surrounding the little Kim Taeyeon in the middle.

"It's fine." Kim Tae-yeon tugged at the corners of her mouth and made a smile that was more ugly than crying.

Losing the election, this incident is a huge blow to Kim Taeyeon.

Tiffany, who refused to come out with her, Kim Tae-yeon wore a down jacket and walked aimlessly on the streets of Seoul.

In the dark night, Seoul is brightly lit, the Hangang Bridge is still wrapped in New Year's lanterns, and countless vehicles are whizzing by.

There is only a lonely, thin back, slowly disappearing on the Han River Bridge, in the light.
