The premiere was held at the imax_theatre Cinema in the 63rd Building.

Senior executives and department heads including AWM President Ahn Woo-seo were all present, as well as YG's President Yang Hyun-suk, S.M's Director Lee so-man, famous MC Yoo Jae-seok, Kang Ho-dong, Kim Ji-dong, AWM's only singer "Lyric Queen" Baek Ji-young, the new "Lyric Queen" Boa, as well as S.M's TVXQ, SJ, and Heavenly Ji-hee...... Popular actress Yoon Eun-hye, famous actor Cha Tae-hyun...... It's really star-studded and star-studded.

Then came political representatives, National Assembly member Han Hee-myung, and Seoul National University professor Professor Kim Hee-jae, two heavyweights, who came to attend the ceremony with their families.

There are also fans who came to support.

The 63 building had already set up a booth, full of flowers, laid out the red carpet, the security guards were on standby, and a strong lineup of stars, fans and reporters gathered after hearing the news, such a lineup made Seoul in November enter the grand ceremony in advance.

The premiere is a total of 200 minutes, and the 40-minute interview and interaction are interesting under the common gags of the three MCs, and there is a lot of laughter on and off the stage, these three people are on the same stage at the same time, how long has it been since this happened?

"I miss the X-Man at that time!" Yin Eun-hye, who was sitting next to An Yuxi, suddenly sighed.

Today's Yin Enhui is very beautiful, well, she used to be very beautiful, with long hair shawl, slightly curly hair, wearing a black evening dress, of course, now wearing a small suit, covered in jewels, painted with slightly thick makeup, there is a smell of mature women between her gestures, and her frowning appearance makes people can't help but feel pity, she is indeed a beauty.

"You miss Brother Zhong Guo, right?" Looking at the image of the generous and lively "girl hero" around her, and Yoon Eun-hye, who has gradually transformed into an actor and become mature and stable, how could An Yuxi not know her current mood, a lot of things have indeed happened in the past year, and now I feel that there is a taste of things and people, but An Yuxi did not let her continue to be sad.

"Hahaha......" Hearing the conversation between Ahn Woo-seo and Yoon Eun-hye, the person next to him couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle.

"Yikes!" The frowning brows dissipated instantly, and the sorrowful eyebrows with a little charm also turned into white eyes, glaring at An Yuxi fiercely, it is estimated that if there were not so many people here, he would have been punched a long time ago.

An Yuxi, who was stared at, suffered this white eye, and was a little proud, looking like he was begging to be beaten.

"You guy, remember it for me!" Yoon Eun-hye said "through gritted teeth".

At the end of the 40-minute interview, it was the premiere of the film, and there were a number of well-known film critics invited, most of whom had a good relationship with AWM, after all, no one wants their work to be hacked.

The movie is 114 minutes long, and it is already 11:30 by the time it ends, which is the end of the day for many people, and for many people, the nightlife in Seoul has just begun!

"Teacher, Councillor, you go slowly!"

After sending off the guests, An Yuxi, Jiang Hudong, Liu Zaishi and other people drove to "Jiang Hudong 678".

The room is ready, the dishes are served, and the aroma of pork belly and beef has permeated the entire space.

"Yu Xi, you want to treat you today, then you have to eat more today!" Jiang Hudong, who was already sweating profusely, hugged An Yuxi's shoulders affectionately, and his voice was still as loud as usual.

"Brother Hudong, don't you usually let go of your stomach to eat?" Liu Zaishi took a bite of the dish and asked with squinted eyes.

"Of course, this is my shop, and if I pay for it, of course I have to eat less! If you can save a little bit, the economy is so sluggish now. Jiang Hudong naturally shared his "business experience".

"Oh, no!" Jiang Hudong, who realized that he had slipped his mouth, immediately covered his mouth in panic.

"Ahh No wonder I paid so much more than usual last time! It turns out that it's all yours! Haha next to him suddenly realized!

"Hahahaha!"

"Oppa, you're a thief!" Xiao Jing pulled Jiang Hudong's clothes, with an expression of "so you are this kind of person", that cute appearance, which made everyone happy again.

"Oh crystal, don't call it oppa, you have to call uncle!" Kim Jidong sat next to Crystal and instigated.

"Uncle Jidong......" Unexpectedly, the well-behaved little girl turned her cute little face and shouted to him.

"Ah...... Forehead...... "Stealing chickens is not a recipe for rice, Jin Jidong's expression is very exciting."

"Hahaha!" A group of people laughed wildly, and Jiang Hudong laughed even more.

Covering her mouth and laughing, Xiao Jing gently stuck out her tongue at Jin Jidong.

"Yu Xi, I didn't expect that your career is getting bigger and bigger now!" Liu Zaishi seemed to be very emotional after drinking two glasses.

"President An!" Haha suddenly pounced and yelled.

"President An, I heard that your company's benefits are very good, do you want actors?" Yin Enhui first gave An Yuxi a hard punch, and then leaned over and asked, the girl is not reserved outside at all, the high heels have long been taken off, and the evening dress has also been changed into the usual clothes, and the stomach will return to normal after a few glasses of wine.

"Okay, Sister Enhui, as long as you are willing to come, I will sign you for as much as you want!"

"Huh?" Unexpectedly, An Yuxi actually agreed, but Yin Enhui was a little overwhelmed, "......"

"As much as you want?!" Jiang Hudong, Liu Jae-shi, and Jin Jidong shouted at the same time, their expressions were very excited, and they seemed to be very interested.

"What about me! How am I? President Ann! The grasshopper, who was interested, changed his tone, began to scratch his head, and came over.

"I'll rub!" The grasshopper's undisciplined exercise made An Yuxi feel excited, and one hand pressed Liu Zaishi's big face to come over.

With Liu Zaishi taking the lead, the whole room began to "dance wildly".

"Hey, don't get excited, hey, talk well, don't do it! Ah! ”

Bai Zhiying crossed his legs, added a glass of soju, watched them make a mess, squinted his eyes and smiled like a fox, looked at Bao'er who was a little overwhelmed next to him, raised his wine glass from afar, and then drank it all.

At the same time, in an apartment in Samseong-dong, "Lu Shixi" who came back from watching the premiere, of course, this is just his stage name, which is a well-known name on the Internet and film critics, as for his real name Lu Zhengyu, few people know, even his colleagues have always called his stage name "Lu Shiv".

His diligence and his unique eye for cinema and humorous tone have made him famous in the industry now, and he is now able to have a foothold in the city of Seoul.

The publicity department of AWM company sent him an invitation as early as the beginning of November, because of the popularity of "The King's Man", he was very interested in "Monster of the Han River", no way, this is his profession, plus there is also a "tea fee", and he directly agreed.

"Monster of the Han River" did not disappoint him.

At about 1 o'clock in the morning, after Lu Zhengyu took a bath, he turned on the desk lamp, sat in front of the computer, and had a cup of steaming strong tea on his right hand, which is the standard for a "night owl" like him.

The clear screen of the computer emitted a faint fluorescence, Lu Zhengyu put his fingers on the keyboard, wandering out of the world, and after a while, his eyes gradually condensed, and his fingers began to tap on the keyboard.

A line of words appeared on the screen: "I've worked hard for a long time, but it's just a fart".

Before watching "Monster", I was full of curiosity: how can a monster film achieve political satire? And after reading it, I was completely convinced: no bragging! And it really does.

Movies should be like this, there are infinite possibilities for development. Director Bong Joon-ho is worthy of being a geek, and it is really refreshing to be able to break through the shackles of genre films and make such a movie with a strange taste, and I feel that I can still have something to remember after watching it.

In this movie, some of the seemingly buggy places are really deliberately absurd. The father received a call from his missing daughter and said it but no one believed him. ――Actually, wouldn't it be enough to check the phone records? -- Bong Joon-ho told us with sinister intentions: Yes, the so-called government is already absurd and incompetent to such an unbelievable level.

It's so vicious.

Since the government is inefficient and incompetent, it can only rely on individual efforts to fight the sudden "monster". Well, lone heroes, that's exactly what Hollywood does. Families go out in groups, and there are countless successful templates for small team movies to concoct with ease. In that case, let's make great strides on the broad road of commercial genre films, right?

However, it was a journey of constant derailment and overturning.

The first small ** in the film is the scene where a family of four chases monsters with guns. The monster was shot and fled, and everyone chased after him. Seeing the monster Jedi counterattack, the magnificent music played, and the close-up was given in slow motion, the grandfather's face was resolute and heroic, and he faced the wind and picked up the gun with only one bullet left...... It's about to get high!!

Kindness? The confused father pinched his fingers: It seems that there is no bullet in the gun?

Grandpa pulls the trigger and strikes the pin...... He looked back at his son helplessly: What about you playing with me? ……

In the Xingye movie, this is a hilarious nonsensical spoof. And in this movie, it is so humorous and cruel.

Between the lightning and flint, the grandfather died.

The aunt in the film is a master of archery. Carrying the long bow and pounding the dragon pond alone, it can be described as heroic and refreshing, which is heartbreaking. Finally, she meets the monster head-on under the bridge. The monster pounced quickly, and the aunt bent her bow and arrows, concentrating on it, but did not trigger it...... I see it's going to be high again!

- The monster is too fast. Before the arrow could be sent out, my aunt had already fallen under the bridge and fainted.

I'm grass, and it's overturned again. It makes people want to cry without tears.

The little girl is trapped in the sewer by a monster. The only chance to survive is to step on the monster's back and crawl out of the sewer while the monster is asleep. - The crow was silent, holding her breath, and finally the little girl struggled to take a step, and it was passionate music, and it was sensational slow motion. The little girl jumped and grabbed the rope to freedom!!

- Music stops. The little girl was expressionless. The camera moves slowly, and the monster's tail wraps around the little girl's waist.

This is already a naked sting in the hearts of every audience.

The final Armageddon. Uncle chases monsters with homemade Molotov cocktails. The monster screamed, and was guarded by the homeless man, dousing it with gasoline. Seeing that my uncle threw the last incendiary bomb, he could annihilate the monster in one fell swoop!

What is extremely absurd is that the uncle actually smashed the incendiary bomb by mistake.

――Seeing this, the audience must have become numb and feel sorry.

……

The cruel Bong Joon-ho mobilized the enthusiasm of the audience again and again, and poured cold water on his head again and again. This constant derailment and overturning scene is categorically impossible to appear in Hollywood blockbusters. The director undoubtedly made it clear that there is such an attitude: lone heroes do not exist. Individual efforts, in the face of the cruel reality, are often worthless.

As a joke goes: "Life is like poop, sometimes you work hard for a long time, but it's just a fart".

And what makes these little people so lonely and helpless?

Looking further back, my father was suspected of being infected with the monster's virus and was pushed onto the operating table like a specimen for monitoring. In a tireless shot, a cold and horrible metal instrument is placed on his head, and no matter how much he screams and struggles, it is in vain. The symbolism of this scene is all too obvious. What's even more ridiculous and lamentable, the so-called "virus" does not exist! In the face of an out-of-control, absurd society, where does the individual's sense of security begin? In the face of a deformed and indifferent society, the struggle of the individual is almost hopeless.

The enemies of this family, young and old, were never that monster.

In the end, the little girl did not survive. The whole film ended with a complete derailment and overturn, and the engine was scrapped. Even if the father finally stabbed the monster, even if the father adopted the little boy and regained the warmth of the cabin on a snowy night, it could only be regarded as a little relief after complete disappointment was better than nothing. If he doesn't even give this little comfort, Bong Joon-ho will be too inhuman. In this regard, we have no power to regret it, and can only feel deep helplessness.

If life is really like, then in the movie "Monster", it is not in terms of personal life, but directly in terms of social life that is everywhere and cannot be escaped. So, when will our fate not be a fart?
