Twin Peaks

It was predicted from the beginning that this year's Blue Dragon Award would be a showdown between "The King's Man" and "Monster of the Han River", two phenomenal films with more than 10 million viewers!

Because this year's Blue Dragon Film Festival "The King's Man" has won 11 nominations including Best Work, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actor, it will compete with "Monster of the Han River", which won 10 nominations.

Compared to some of the films that have nothing to say, whose popularity is sluggish and tasteless, both of which are word-of-mouth and box office stellar - any words would pale in comparison to the tens of millions of moviegoers.

However, before this, "The King's Man" has won the highest honor at the Daejong Awards, generally speaking, the Daejong Award and the Blue Dragon Award have some competitive meanings, and the Daejong Award, the favored object of the Qinglong Award, may not be favored, at least until now, plus the number of viewers of "Hanjiang Monster" is 13.56 million, surpassing "The King's Man" 12.73 million to become the first in the history of Korean films.

"Monster of the Han River" is invincible

"Monster of the Han River" directed by Bong Joon-ho, which had a booming number of moviegoers after its release, not only won 10 nominations at this Blue Dragon Awards, but also won the Best Technology Award, Best Lighting Award, Best Newcomer Actress Award, Best Supporting Actor Award, Best Film and other awards, beating the box office champion "The King's Man" in the first half of the year, and also became the biggest winner of this Blue Dragon Award.

The win-win box office and awards of "Monster of the Han River" once again proves the triumph of local films based on localized stories and supplemented by Hollywood technology. "Life and Death", which marked the revival of Korean films, and later "JSA Joint Security Area", "Friends", "Welcome to Dongmu Village", etc., the localized film stories laid a good foundation for the film to win the box office and word of mouth, and also set an example for the development of Korean films in the future. And this "Han River Monster", the most important thing is a solid and localized story, after all, the Han River monster from beginning to end of the film is just a foil, and the detailed portrayal of the Korean family's family concept has resonated with the audience.

Affection is priceless

However, as far as the film itself is concerned, the story and the actors' performances are superior, this work is not as good as the former "Memories of Murder", including the performance of the protagonist Song Jianghao It is difficult to surpass the previous work, and the disappointment in important awards such as Best Actor and Actress and Best Director is not unexpected.

Affection, including family, love, friendship, etc., is an important part of life, and it is also a common theme in art such as movies. But in this materialistic era, love is gradually expelled by money.

However, this year's Blue Dragon Awards basically award awards to films with the theme of love, such as "Han River Monster", family affection is the most important part of the film, and how to defeat the Han River monster depends mainly on the power of family affection; and "Radio Star", which won the Best Actor, is about the friendship between a pair of friends for many years; "The Birth of a Family", which won the Best Supporting Actress award, shows the three kinds of love in modern society in a three-part way, which does not tell the story of true love but separation for some reason like "Sad Story", but condenses a kind of "together" power.

Reminiscent of the revolt of artists caused by the new changes in the film quota system announced by the South Korean government at the beginning of this year, as well as the various behaviors of Koreans before them, these united feelings have a deep practical significance, and the choice to award the award to such films focusing on love is not only an encouragement for the film itself, but also a hope for reality.

A veteran with a new trend

The revival of Korean films is mainly a matter of the past eight years, and the veterans mentioned here, if compared with the Hong Kong film industry, they can basically only be regarded as newcomers, but the Korean film industry is a film industry where new forces are constantly emerging, and they often appear on the screen for four or five years to become "veterans", not to mention, filmmakers who became famous in the last century.

Bian Xifeng, who won the Best Supporting Actor award, is an actor who has been famous for many years; Park Joong-hoon, who won the Best Actor, is a famous comedian in the 90s, who had a wonderful performance in "Nowhere to Hide" (starring Ahn Sung-ki and Jang Dong-kun); The director of the best film "Monster of the Han River" also dedicated such classics as "Kidnapping the Dog at the Door" and "Memories of Murder...... In contrast, the prominence of the newcomer was not obvious this year, although the new director Lee Jun-ik won the second place at the total box office of Korean films with "The King's Man" and made one of the leading actors, Lee Jun-ki, a celebrity, and even received 11 nominations out of 15 awards at this year's Blue Dragon Awards, but only won the award for best music.

The Relic of the Green Dragon

A film award will inevitably leave some pearls in all aspects, let alone in the Korean film industry, where movie masterpieces are constantly emerging?

"The South of the Border", which is based on love life and set against the background of the division of North and South Korea, is one of the missing pearls, which integrates the localized love story with the background of the times very well, so that the characters have some resonance in the changes of the years; "Despicable Street" directed by Liu He also performed very well, and the helplessness of life was well expressed by the protagonist Zhao Rencheng; There is also "The Beat Inducer", the story itself is wonderful and rare in this year's Korean films......

This year's Blue Dragon Awards, although there are some regrets, are still commendable on the whole, and its support and encouragement for Korean localized stories and films with the theme of expressing affection revealed from the awards is actually a trend of Korean films in recent years.

-- Li Hong, editor of "New Perspective Film and Television".

The mainstream media represented by N Society basically made a more accurate report on this year's Blue Dragon Film Awards, but people can still see between the lines that this Blue Dragon Award belongs to the glory of AWM film and television.

"Film and TV Weekly" put it this way under the headline "The Biggest Winner":

"This year's Blue Dragon Award, AWM company is particularly dazzling, the best actor shortlisted for four-fifths of the total, Ahn Sung-ki, Park Chong-hoon ("Radio Star"), Song Kang-ho ("Han River Monster"), Gan Woo-sung (Wang's man), and the best actor was won by Ahn Sung-ki and Park Chong-hoon, and finally AWM's film won the best actor and film award of the two major domestic heavyweight film festivals this year, becoming the biggest winner in the film and television industry in 2006!"

"Just as "The King's Man" swept the Daejong Award in the first half of the year, "Monster of the Han River" swept the Blue Dragon Award, and even the small-budget film "Radio Star", which was not massively promoted, won the Double Egg Yolk Best Actor!

How can this not make the filmmaker's heart tremble. ”

“…… This year's Blue Dragon Award is the victory of the two films "Monster of the Han River" and "Radio Star".

One is well-deserved, and the other is small and big! Although the box office of "Radio Star" only did not lose money, it also won the throne of the actor, so it also gained a huge reputation.

The three classic movies "The King's Man", "Monster of the Han River" and "Radio Star" have formed a huge reputation and brand power for the long-term development of a company! Just like when you think of record companies, you think of JYP, YG, DSP, SM, which have many successful examples, and continue to make new idols popular and prosperous......

Nowadays, when it comes to film companies, it has to be AWM!

Even the film industry didn't expect that in 2006, which was gloomy for the Korean film industry, only this nascent film and television company became the biggest winner!

There are two phenomenal films, one Big Bell Award actor, two Blue Dragon Award winners, and three Best Picture Awards...... Almost won the awards of the three major film festivals.

Oh, my God! If it weren't for AWM, we wouldn't have imagined that such a company would be able to sweep all the major awards of this year's film festivals!

AWM Film and Television deserves to be ranked among the four largest film companies in South Korea.

In other words, CJ, Rakuten, and Showbox, the three nationally recognized film companies, are not as good as the rising star AWM this year!

Just this year, 2006, AWM's achievements will be remembered forever in film history! ”

……

"The King's Man! "Monster of the Han River"!

In the same year, there were two tens of millions of films, both from the same company.

I don't know what kind of magic can make a company win so many of the highest honors in the film industry in a short period of time! This is a height that many directors and film companies cannot reach in a lifetime, and a nascent company has done it!

Even if a director, a film, or a film and television company wins one of the awards, they can achieve the effect of a chicken dog ascending to heaven, not to mention the current AWM!

To put it mildly, this year's entire Chungmu Road is not as good as An Yuxi!

Who knew that he was just a shy young singer two years ago! But after becoming the leader of the company, he showed his courage, and did not hesitate to take over the almost bankrupt "The King's Man", and agreed to the filming of "Radio Star" with a stroke of the pen, and then spent 20 billion to shoot "Hanjiang Monster".

In terms of songs, the first half of the year was Baek Ji-young's "No More Love", and the second half of the year was Kwon Boa's "Don't Leave", which brought out AWM's two lyrical singers! In terms of movies, in the first half of the year, "The King's Man" swept the Daejong Award, in the second half of the year, "Monster of the Han River" won the Blue Dragon Award, and of course, the dark horse of "Radio Star......

His work swept all the festivals, and then all the festivals! (Because the three movies of AWM Film and Television all have An Yuxi's name written in the producer position)

I think this can be called the "Anyuxi phenomenon"!

If possible, I would really like to ask what is the secret of President Ahn's success!

Does he really have a pair of 'discerning eyes'?

Or can he see the future?

What a man chosen by God!

From film to music, AWM wrote a new 'myth' this year

Let's wait and see where the young president will take AWM......"

-- This is a report by a well-known entertainment tabloid D agency, and between the lines, it is extremely praised, and An Yuxi is praised to the sky.

Since then, An Yuxi has had another nickname!

However, the sentence "The entire Zhongwu Road is not as good as an An Yuxi" has caused a lot of repercussions in the film industry, because such words are really suspicious of killing, saying that so many senior filmmakers in Zhongwu Road are not as good as a stinky boy, isn't this a slap in the face! How can those bigwigs in the film industry accept this! Although this is not An Yuxi's original intention, and maybe it is not the original intention of D Society, the entire film industry does not have a very good impression of An Yuxi.

However, under this general trend, some statements with ulterior motives were immediately crushed to the point that there was no scum left, but An Yuxi did not ignore this remark, but issued a statement claiming that he was just at the right time, and attributed the credit to the director and crew, such a low profile was appreciated by many people.

Even the Korea Film Promotion Council presented a special merit award to AWM Group Chairman Ahn Woo-seo for his contribution to domestic films this year, and Ahn Woo-seo received the award in a low-key manner.

In 2006, Ahn Woo-hee, who was hidden behind the scenes, returned to people's topics again, and the attention was no less than when he was famous as a super idol, because he wrote an unprecedented glory in the history of Korean cinema!

For the results of the Blue Dragon Award, and a series of events that have occurred since then, the outside world has been dressed in a boil, almost to the point of omniscience, no one knows, all the media are vying to report this grand occasion, sought after, this overwhelming momentum makes the atmosphere of the end of the year is a variety of celebrations more exciting, lively.

Of course, the happiest is of course the headquarters of the A Society, there is no holiday, but the company is already a holiday atmosphere, although the weather in December is very cold, and it is snowing, but in the company can feel the vigorous and upward heat, any person from outside can feel this atmosphere, from everyone's face can see, a powerful force is injected into this young company, everyone's heart, so that its vitality is more vigorous, like the sun at o'clock!

That's the benefit of so much success!

At the same time, a good news also spread within the company, and soon the company also issued a notice.

To all colleagues of AWM Group: In the past 2006, the company has made outstanding achievements in all aspects, which are inseparable from the hard work of all employees of the company, everyone has worked hard, after discussion and decision of the board of directors, the first annual meeting of AWM Group will be held at 8 a.m. on January 1, 2007 at the Century Sky Evergrande Hotel in Yeouido.

All colleagues are invited to attend.
