Chapter 120. My Sassy Girlfriend Released

The next day, not surprisingly, the media overwhelmingly reported on this world-class wedding, without exception, the one-sided praise made Lee Jung-hyun's image in South Korea instantly unparalleled, and no one competed.

However, the government department also officially announced the next day, inviting Lee Jung-hyun to serve as South Korea's image ambassador, diplomatic image ambassador, national tourism ambassador, and other three major image ambassadors, with an annual remuneration of up to 15 billion won.

This news instantly ignited the entertainment industry, and everyone sighed with envy for Li Zhengxian's strength, and in an interview with the media, he also made it clear that he supported Li Zhengxian as the three major image ambassadors.

However, Lee Jung-hyun didn't take these things to heart and handed them over to his agent to deal with, but he sat alone in his newlywed bedroom to write (plagiarize) the script.

Grief is grief, in Li Zhengxian's dictionary, there is no word bald, at least not yet, so Li Zhengxian sorted out his mood and was ready to struggle again, because he still has many ideals that have not been achieved, and it is inevitable to make efforts, let go of his children's affection, and replace his sadness with busy work, this is Li Zhengxian

Time flies, on August 1, 1999, Lee Jung-hyun, who had been silent at home for more than ten days, finally appeared in public, because his first movie "My Sassy Girlfriend" was officially scheduled to premiere on August 5, and Lee Jung-hyun also came forward to carry out all the publicity before the premiere.

Jun Ji-hyun, Lee Jung-hyun, Han Chae-young, Yoon Seok-ho, etc., a series of participants and key crew members attended the promotional event.

South Korea's five major cities, one city a day publicity, the last day of Seoul's publicity, thousands of empty alleys, but also blinded the eyes of countless people, Lee Jung-hyun's personal fans reached 30,000 people to watch, how spectacular, after meeting with a small number of fans to sign and take photos, Lee Jung-hyun left the publicity scene in advance, because he had to prepare for the premiere ceremony at eight o'clock in the evening.

After five busy days, Lee Jung-hyun was also exhausted, but seeing the cheers and expectant eyes of countless fans, Lee Jung-hyun felt full of strength, and his confidence in this work was slightly strengthened.

August 5, 1999, a special day destined to be recorded in the film and television milestone, because the first film of the national genius will officially premiere at 8 o'clock this evening, and the official national release at 10 o'clock in the evening, the first batch of 800,000 movie tickets were all sold out in just two hours, and there was a big queue for movie tickets for the third day of the next day.

As of 8 o'clock in the evening, at the beginning of the premiere, a total of 1.5 million tickets were pre-sold, plus the 800,000 tickets that had been sold, reaching 2.3 million, which was only the movie tickets for the first three days.

A "My Sassy Girlfriend" investment plus publicity is only one billion won, if it is converted into US dollars, it is only one million, according to the pre-sale price of Korean movie tickets of 5,000 won, 2.3 million times 5,000 has reached 11.5 billion won, excluding 45% of the movie theaters, 5% of the dividends of the participating actors, and removing the 1 billion won of the entire investment in the movie, Lee Jung-hyun made a net profit of more than 4 billion won in the first three days alone, it is conceivable how many people are envious, jealous and hateful? (Without the investment or participation of film and television companies, according to the Korean broadcast algorithm, it can indeed earn half of the box office).

At half past six in the evening, the premiere of "My Sassy Girlfriend" was selected at Lotte Cinema, the main Lotte Cinema is the property of the four major families, and it is also the property of Kwon Hengyuan's family, so Lee Jung-hyun is here now.

The movie-watching guests also came one after another, Lee Jung-hyun and a group of participating actors also stood at the gate to greet them one by one, more than half of the film and television actors in South Korea came to cheer, a popular movie, but it is really unreasonable to show his face, the main thing is that this work is his Lee Jung-hyun's, whether it is in the process of currying favor or making friends, there will always be a little bit of gain from a trip, at least it is not a problem to be familiar.

Therefore, those who were not included in the invitation also came to congratulate politely, and mixed their faces with a familiar face, Lee Jung-hyun was also welcomed and received equally, and the reporters on the scene were also excited, the premiere of a movie was stunned by Lee Jung-hyun like a film awards ceremony, which shows Lee Jung-hyun's influence in South Korea.

At half past seven o'clock in the evening, the guests basically arrived, Lee Jung-hyun and a group of participating actors also walked into the cinema, the on-site emcee is still Lee Jae-seok, because in Lee Jung-hyun's view, there are only a few who have excellent hosting skills in South Korea, Lee Jae-seok is one of them, and was invited by Lee Jung-hyun again, Lee Jae-seok is very excited, people who can have such prestige in the world, since they trust themselves so much, it is also a big opportunity for themselves, mainly they can follow Lee Jung-hyun and appear in the public's sight, therefore, Lee Jae-seok doubled his identity after presiding over Lee Jung-hyun's wedding, and once became the first host in South Korea, which made his peers both envious and jealous, but Lee Jae-seok knew that these were all given by Lee Jung-hyun, so Lee Jung-hyun invited him again, and Lee Jae-seok did not hesitate to push off all the itinerary and came over to host Lee Jung-hyun's movie premiere as the on-site emcee.

Lee Jae-seok easily finished his opening remarks, and went directly to the topic: "Now I have invited the director of "My Sassy Girlfriend" and the actors to speak on stage."

There was warm applause at the scene, Lee Jung-hyun, Yoon Seok-ho, Jun Ji-hyun, Han Chae-young and other actors came to the stage one after another, and Lee Jung-hyun picked up the microphone and said.

"Thank you for your support and the arrival of experts and scholars in film and television theory, and here I thank you for your presence on behalf of the entire crew of "My Sassy Girlfriend", saying Li Zhengxian and others bowed and thanked them.

After Li Zhengxian bowed, he continued: "Before the movie is screened, I will declare to you in advance that this work should not be appreciated with normal eyes, the main thing is that the content I want to express in this work is actually very simple, love is actually regardless of identity, love is love, there is no regional culture, etc., it mainly depends on how to deal with and face your own mentality, thank you, I promise that you will have a great harvest, okay, I will say so much, time for others"!

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, Jun Ji-hyun took the microphone, bowed and said: "First of all, I want to thank Jung-hyun, to be honest, I haven't had a decent work in the past few years since my debut, maybe everyone is familiar with me, but I don't know who I am or what works I have performed, but from today onwards, I dare to confidently say that when everyone sees me in the future, they will definitely remember me, and this work, because this work is a rare and excellent work, I don't believe you will know it later." ”

Han Chaeyoung and Yoon Seok-ho also spoke one after another, all of which were topics of confidence in the work and gratitude to Lee Jung-hyun, and Lee Jung-hyun didn't care, just smiled shyly, and ended his speech, Lee Jung-hyun and Jun Ji-hyun and others walked down the front desk and sat in the audience waiting for the movie to be screened

The 110-minute movie ended at the screening, and in the process of watching the movie, everyone burst into laughter, deleted tears, and cried and laughed for a while.

When the subtitles appeared on the movie screen, the audience stood up and applauded, and Lee Jung-hyun finally breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and bowed in thanks, expressing his gratitude

The next day, Lee Jung-hyun and "My Sassy Girlfriend", who had no suspense, once again made headlines, with rave reviews, and some newspaper critics, experts and scholars also expressed their personal opinions in the newspaper.

Ms. Lee Hye-rim, a critic of Seoul Daily and a famous Korean film and television writer, wrote in Seoul Daily: Throughout the history of film and television, how many people can become famous before the age of 20? I am also a screenwriter, and I know how difficult it is to write a good screenplay, but he Lee Jung-hyun made me really understand what a genius is, and he deserves it and is understandable.

Let's first talk about his two TV drama works, "Blue Life and Death Love" and "Winter Love Song", there are only three of them that have exceeded 60% of the ratings in South Korea's history, but he Lee Jung-hyun monopolizes two films, is this luck? Or is it Lee Jung-hyun's strong appeal? I don't deny that he has quite a high popularity and great appeal, but this is not the point, even if he Lee Jung-hyun has great appeal, if the work is scum, will there be such a big rating?

Looking at his filmed works, the plot is arranged with themes that run through the whole work, without fancy embellishments, and directly expresses love and hatred, which shows that his screenwriting skills are very solid, which shows that he has his unique opinions.

"My Sassy Girlfriend", which premiered last night, I thought it was just a pure love film, but after watching it, I was completely not calm, how difficult it is to be able to integrate humor, harmony, coordination, strong women and weak men to just the right amount! But he Li Zhengxian brushed it off, but it seems a lot more reasonable, I admit that I completely lost to him Li Zhengxian, there is no doubt that this movie will become a classic, don't believe it we will wait and see.

Seoul Film and Television News, the famous film and television critic Cha Moo-hyuk, and is famous for his "iron tongue", no matter who it is, he doesn't care about directly pointing at it, so he also joined in the excitement and directly commented on Lee Jung-hyun's works.

"If "My Sassy Girlfriend" is a pure love movie, there is no doubt that I will give a score of 99, this is the first time I have given such a high score, but last night, I looked at the whole film, I hesitated, if this movie is a movie with a sense of disobedience, I am really sorry for the female friends in the world, because my wife, daughter, and mother are also women, if I say that it is an influential movie worth advocating, I have a lot of entanglements in my heart, and I can't give myself a reason to convince myself, But Lee Jung-hyun's rationalized arrangement and clever link to the plot, I admit, Lee Jung-hyun xi, you are a genius, I admit it

There are countless similar comments, and a movie has collectively made Korean film critics completely entangled, dissatisfied with the influence of this atmosphere, but they don't know how to oppose it! The main reason is that he Lee Jung-hyun is smart, and the whole plot is completely rationalized and pure, if you feel against it, at least the crime of offending all women in South Korea cannot be escaped, so there are conservative comments similar to formalization
