144 Reign in South Korea
South Korea, also known as South Korea, sums up the country's history in a few words: a vassal state of China, a colony of Japan, and a dog leg of the United States. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This evaluation basically shows the status of the country all along.
It is precisely because of such a historical background that the people of South Korea, an island nation, have an extremely sensitive national self-esteem, which has reached a level of neuroticism.
What's worse is that they are still a country with extremely inflated self-confidence.
When Korean entertainment culture began to become popular in Asia, the country immediately branded itself as a cultural powerhouse, as if we were the world's number one in the entertainment industry.
And because it has been suppressed by China so badly in history, the country, from the political parties to the people, is trying to get rid of China's influence. He even wants to suppress China in turn.
Because China's economy once came to a standstill in the last century, South Korea, because of the special background of the times, with the help of the United States, took off economically and became one of the four Asian tigers.
And along with the growth of the economy, there is also their self-confidence.
Since then, the country has gained self-confidence and the courage to dare to challenge its past masters.
As a Chinese, Chen Xueqian's reputation in South Korea has been mixed.
Previously, Song Hye Kyo participated in "The Hangover", and the whole South Korea was laughing at her, even the explosion of "L.A. Life and Death Love" failed to stop the mouths of the Korean people, and these people always talked about what Chen Xueqian said before about taking a Hollywood movie for Song Hye Kyo.
"Song Hye Kyo's switch to CC film and television is definitely a big failure in her career. If it's not made in the United States, it's called a Hollywood blockbuster. ”
This is the favorite thing to say in the Korean media.
The reason why they are so persistent is naturally inseparable from Chen Xueqian's identity as a Chinese.
Last year, one of his "Full House Romance" Korean TV series couldn't hold his head up. This time, the investment in "Life and Death Love in Los Angeles" made the TV series of the same period lose its temper.
As a result, the TV dramas that Koreans are proud of on weekdays have been marked with the mark of China, which makes it acceptable to those who think they are the first in the Korean universe?
It can be said that this year's Song Hye Kyo is the most helpless popular Korean actress ever, and it is clear that the TV series she starred in has exploded in ratings, but she is always accused of being groundless.
However, Song Hye Kyo never said a word about it, even if she was squeezed in public when promoting the TV series, she only forced herself to calm down.
It's just that her silence didn't stop those media in South Korea, who still chattered and sarcastically mocked Chen Hakqian and Song Hye Kyo on various occasions.
Originally, this kind of ridicule should have been quickly annoyed by everyone, but Song Hye Kyo's TV series is so popular, which makes her popularity in South Korea always high, so related topics can naturally be brought up all the time.
The whole public opinion did not stop until the end of the TV series in July, but many people felt sorry for Song Hye Kyo, if it were not for Chen Xueqian, Song Hye Kyo would definitely be able to continue last year's popularity this year.
And Song Hye Kyo's long-cherished Baeksang Art Awards are also very likely to be on the throne, but now in this situation, everyone is suddenly not optimistic about her.
Just in South Korea, it finally stopped for two months, and at the end of August, with the imminent release of "The Hangover", South Korea's ridicule of Chen Xueqian suddenly reappeared.
Soon, however, half of South Koreans were speechless under a piece of news.
"Chen Xueqian's acquisition of the American film company Summit Entertainment."
As soon as this news spread in South Korea, everyone's first reaction was disbelief, and then they wanted to say a few sour words, but before they could react, news came from the United States that Chen Xueqian officially joined forces with Carl Icahn, the wolf of Wall Street, and then, Summit Entertainment persisted for less than half a month before it was declared.
For a time, the entire public opinion in South Korea was silent.
In the past, they always thought that Chen Xueqian was just a grass stage team, and they dared to claim to be Hollywood movies, but now they have become a real Hollywood company through acquisitions, although Summit Entertainment is not famous.
But South Korean public opinion is still a little frightened, and it is really Chen Xueqian's cruelty.
The acquisition of Summit Entertainment cost 80 million US dollars, what a huge astronomical amount?
This undoubtedly makes many people scruples, but don't think that they will stop there. In fact, most of them are holding back their energy, and they will mock Chen Xueqian's movie after it is released.
finally waited for the release of this movie, and when the Korean media was excitedly waiting for the news of Chen Xueqian's box office Waterloo, the box office of "The Hangover" on the first day directly confused everyone who was waiting to see the joke.
The box office on the first day was $46 million!
This number makes everyone who is waiting to see the joke can't help but feel dizzy, what kind of achievement is this? At this time, no movie in South Korea has exceeded 10 million viewers, and when you convert the box office, the highest box office record is less than 70 million US dollars.
But look at people, a movie earned $46 million on the first day, how can they make a mockery?
Well, it's true that Song Hye Kyo is just a soy sauce character in the movie, but how many Korean actors are not soy sauce in Hollywood?
Not to mention the present, even in the future, the most mixed Korean actor in Hollywood, Song Byung-hun, is also mostly a dragon role.
In that case, why accuse Song Hye Kyo?
But the Korean media has been talking about this for more than half a year, and just yesterday many newspapers mockingly said: "Tomorrow, the Hollywood blockbuster starring my country's female artist Song Hye Kyo will be released." ”
It can be described as extremely ironic, and now that they are suddenly silent, the Korean people are not stupid, will they not know the strangeness of this?
The Korean media, which has nothing to do, can only use procrastination, but this can't be delayed for long, and the only hope is that Chen Xueqian's film will plummet at the box office the next day, but is this possible?
Soon the box office came out on the second day, and on the third day, the box office was $140 million a week.
The South Korean media was completely silent. This week's income alone is enough to sweep all the box office records of Korean movies. But they were ashamed to mock people before. If it is really a sin made by heaven, it is still against it, and it is impossible to live if it is done by itself.
However, at this time, some people on the Internet have begun to make noise, and Song Hye Kyo fans, who were suppressed before, also got the news early, how can they swallow this breath after being squeezed for so long.
Suddenly, the box office of "The Hangover" spread on the Internet, and then some tabloids who didn't care about discipline at all and were bent on reading money began to report at the same time.
This time not only the South Korean media was dumbfounded, but also those South Koreans who shared the same hatred and had extremely distorted national self-esteem.
What's the matter, how can this kind of result be black?
It's just that the miracle of "The Hangover" is still being staged, the box office is rising day by day, and the global release is even more topical. The whole of South Korea was left in a state of silence.
And Song Hye Kyo, who has been persevering, finally let out a bad breath, Chen Xueqian did not lose his trust, and sure enough, when the movie was released, everything got better.
At this time, although the Korean media was embarrassed to immediately change their faces to Song Hye Kyo and Chen Xueqian, Song Hye Kyo still felt the change, the most obvious is her advertising value, almost overnight, her value surpassed the previous advertising queen Kim Tae-hee and Lee Hyo-ri in one fell swoop, becoming a veritable advertising queen in South Korea.
Just when the South Korean media was slapped in the face and couldn't help himself, Chen Xueqian came to South Korea with this frenzy that swept the world.
For a while, the Korean media were entangled. Previously, they offended Chen Xueqian to his grandmother's house, and now they are going to interview others, so that they will not be ridiculed by others to have ghosts at home.
But at this time, Chen Xueqian because of the publicity of CC film and television, the Korean film crew, the Korean actress, and the Korean actor among them, so many Korean elements greatly satisfied the vanity of the Korean people.
At this time, many Koreans are scolding, those unscrupulous media, this is obviously a victory in the Korean film industry, but they have been ridiculed for so long for no reason, and the unscrupulous media are immoral and deliberately frame others!
These people have completely forgotten who was there in the first place.
In the end, the face could not resist the desire for sales, and a group of Korean media still pinched their noses and went to Incheon Airport, ready to interview Chen Xueqian as soon as possible! (To be continued.) )
