Chapter 271. Overwhelming!
After the success of "Veteran", it immediately caused a big earthquake in the entire Korean entertainment industry, which shocked everyone!
"This drama is so good-looking, you will definitely regret not watching it!"
"Amazing, wonderful! It's even better than the strongest action scenes! ”
These are the praises of the audience after watching this play!
"I can't put into words how wonderful this play is, especially the action scenes in it are beyond everyone's imagination!"
"As a journalist, I have to speak with facts, and this "Veteran" is definitely worth watching!"
These are the compliments of those journalists.
"This drama filmed by Yin Tianyou gave us a lot of shock and inspiration, it turns out that the movie can still be filmed like this!"
"It is undeniable that the action movie FIVE was a success, and he opened up a new world with his acting skills!"
"Alas, depressed, FIVE is too powerful, and the drama "Veteran" is too sharp. Filming the show so well, how can you tell us peers to live in the future?! ”
This is the sentiment of those Korean filmmakers.
As the saying goes, gold and silver cups are not as good as people's reputation!
With the drama "Veteran," rave reviews. The box office sang all the way, and even some famous literati in South Korea couldn't help but catch a glimpse of this drama. Among them is the famous music critic and film critic Jiang Mingshi.
Speaking of which, Jiang Mingshi is also an old friend of Yin Tianyou, he couldn't help but itch his hands after watching this play, and wrote a manuscript of his feelings after watching it overnight.
"The Old Hand - The Carnival of the Weak, the Triumph of Lewdness" -
"I'm a strange person. I have always been most interested in three things, the first being words. The second is music, and the third is movies! But what amazed me was. Now my interest in cinema has obviously increased, and it was the play I watched last night, "Veteran," that made me make that change! ”
"The play is from beginning to end. It can be said to be a living man movie, very masculine, very hot-blooded, if you want to compare it, it is like a hot pot, which makes you go from the mouth to the bottom of your heart, and then your blood boils! I used to be very disgusted with this kind of passionate film, and I thought that watching such a movie was the preserve of those young people, but now I want to say it. This drama is definitely worth watching for everyone, because it can help you to rejuvenate your blood and stasis, and of course, in the spiritual aspect! ”
"If there is any deficiency in this film, it can only be said that the director's ambition is too great, and he wants to make a police film carry too many things. Reflection on the chaebol tycoon's contempt for law and order, the expression of the antagonism between the rich and the poor, the criticism of the view that the wicked do not necessarily have evil retribution, and the description of the omnipotence of money, etc. The director wanted to say too much, and the result was that everything was superficial. But I still have to say, this drama is definitely not to be missed! ”
Next, Jiang Mingshi analyzed the specific story content of this play.
"Many old movie worms who are accustomed to watching Korean police movies often sigh one thing: justice will prevail again. Now I have watched this "Veteran". I suddenly realized that although justice must win every time, the price paid this time is too great. And carefully analyze the character of the protagonist in the film. knows that the chaebol III played by Yin Tianyou is completely a lawless and self-respecting character. In order to be able to spare people's lives, especially the last part of the crazy car on the road. It can also reflect his distorted psychology. Maybe deep down in his heart, as long as he has money, he can buy everything, he can do mischief, and he can always do evil and get away with it. As for the criminal policeman played by Huang Zhengmin, the biggest difference from his previous roles is that he is upright and will never give up. In the face of pressure from the chaebol and the bureau, he never compromised, and even fought against the evil forces without hesitation when his own life and the lives of his family were threatened. Perhaps in his mind, the law is supreme, transcending money and social inequalities. ”
After all, most of the movie's audience are disadvantaged groups in society, and in South Korea, where the gap between the rich and the poor is widening, they hope that such heroes can appear, that they can be saved, and that those rich chaebol families can be punished by the law if they do evil things. Of course, this is a kind of collective obscenity, collective carnival, and under this old proposition of the triumph of good over evil, everyone has a very happy addiction. Some people may question that this useless lust can only make you weaker, but what I want to say is, if we don't even have the power to such cheap lust, what do we have to support ourselves? After all, today's society is really too unfair. ”
……
As soon as this movie review came out, it was like a nuclear explosion, and it immediately bombed the whole of South Korea upside down.
If you just talk about it casually after watching the movie, it's okay, but Jiang Mingshi obviously explained the problem too thoroughly, and directly rose to the height of social significance, which couldn't help but make everyone feel very surprised and surprised.
In fact, Kang Myung-seok has always liked to write about the disadvantages of the times, even though he mainly focuses on music criticism, but this time he pointed out very sharply the inequality of society and the pathology of the Korean people's self-anesthesia; Even if it's a little more restrained in the content, it's already groundbreaking enough.
In order to appease the stimulated audience and the Korean people, several critics immediately stood up collectively and acted as chicken soup for the soul to make new reviews of "Veteran".
Of course, the focus of these comments has all shifted from social contradictions, the gap between the rich and the poor, to the acting skills of the actors, intentionally or unintentionally.
So, as one Korean film critic wrote:
"It's hard to describe what happened in a pen and ink. The popularity of "Veteran" has made Korean media comment. And anyone who has watched this drama will only give a thumbs up and say a good word! ”
"But the filming is good, first of all, thanks to the actors, especially the actor of this play, Huang Zhengmin, who plays the criminal police, needless to say, as the pillar of the Korean film industry, there are no movies he has starred in recently that are not popular, and after being in the industry for so many years, almost every role he has played is so real and realistic, as if he has the magic to transform into this character. Especially this time, he performed the attitude, emotions, words and deeds of the criminal police before and after, as well as the persistence after discovering the truth of the matter, vividly and vividly; If you say that as a Korean senior, Huang Zhengmin can score more than 80 points in this performance. So as a junior in the Korean film industry, FIVE Yoon Woo, who is known as the new four little kings of Chungmuro. It gives people an extremely amazing feeling. As the first gorgeous transformation, he changed from an idol star to a bad guy. Yoon Tianyou went further and further in his self-destructive image, so much so that the audience didn't recognize him until three minutes after he appeared in this play. ”
"What kind of role is this? The family background is illustrious, and the psychology is distorted, so that he acts perversely and pervertedly, and he is even more lawless when he does things, and he sacrifices everything mercilessly for his own personal interests. It can be said that Yin Tianyou has played this role alive from beginning to end, so much so that the evil we see is him. He's the bad guy who makes people gnash their teeth. ”
If Jiang Mingshi was just throwing bricks and leading the way before, then this film critic's comment is the finishing touch. once again exploded the reputation of the drama "Veteran".
For a while, everyone in South Korea knew that Yin Tianyou performed well, and everyone was talking about his amazing acting skills, and everyone was talking about this drama. And this drama also attracted foreigners in South Korea, an American entertainment reporter praised: "This film is the best action movie FIVE has ever seen." It is certain that his posture will appear more in Korean films in the future, and perhaps he will be the king of Korean films in the future. ”
You know, South Korea has always admired American movies. This kind of worship is envious, jealous, hateful, and rejects American films to the limit, so it is absolutely extraordinary to hear him praise Korean stars from the mouth of an American film critic.
Arguably. In "Veteran", Yin Tianyou conquered countless audiences with his acting skills for the first time. Fans who are familiar with his early films said: "I only knew that he Tian Yuzhi acted well, but I didn't expect to make this kind of film even better!" ”
Meanwhile. Yoon Tianwoo's music album for this drama also began to be released in the Korean market for a while. In short supply. If in the past, Yoon Tianyou relied on albums to affect the box office of his movies, but now he relies on movies to promote his music.
Such a popularity has made Yoon Tianwoo's JYP Entertainment Company make billions of won in just a few weeks. It can be said that it took advantage of it.
……
Over time, after three weeks -
The Korean media commented on the release of "Veteran" -
The firepower of Huang Zhengmin and Yin Tianyou's new film "Veteran", which has been on the list for three weeks, continues to soar, and the box office has accumulated to 9.04 million, which is very likely to become the first local work to successfully break 1,000 in the second half of the year, and although the newly released "Secret and Great" has invited more than 20 big-name actors to make cameos, it has also been criticized for dazzling, but it is slightly inferior in terms of excitement.
Director Yoo Sung-won, who has always liked crime action movies, brought a new work "Veteran" in 2015, and the previous two hits "Improper Deal" and "Berlin" prefer to use the "Gang of Men" cast, "Berlin" at least has Jun Ji-hyun to take care of his eyes, but "Veteran" has restored the lineup of all-male classes such as Huang Jung-min, Yoon Tianyou, Wu Dashu, and Yoo Hae-jin. But of course, several actors are powerful, coupled with Director Liu's hard work on the script and the wonderful action scenes created by him, "Veteran" naturally has no reason not to become popular, and it has attracted 9.04 million viewers in the three weeks of its release.
The story of "Veteran" itself is not very novel, it tells the story of the veteran elites of the wide-area search team who each have their own areas of expertise, but in a new crime case, they are in a difficult situation, and the intuitive feeling is that the mastermind behind the scenes is the chaebol III Cho Tae-woo (played by Yoon Tianyou), and the action of the criminal policeman Seo Do-cheol (played by Hwang Jung-min) has a head-to-head confrontation with him, although he has repeatedly failed but does not give up. Huang Zhengmin, a national actor, has always given people the feeling of being very upright, this time in "Veteran", he played the role of a policeman steadily, and above him, what was more recognized by the audience was Yin Tianyou, who played the villain for the first time, Yin Tianyou, who looked both good and evil, became completely evil through "Veteran", and the rich three generations who had no one in his eyes were interpreted by him very well, which was greatly appreciated by the audience.
……
It can be said that this report came very timely, and laid a word-of-mouth foundation for the follow-up of Yin Tianyou's film, so that at Busan Station and Daegu Station, the screening of "Veteran" became even more popular. At the same time, in order to increase the promotion of this drama and film, Yoon Tianyou personally ran the field with director Yoo Sung-won, senior Hwang Jung-min and others, went to the scene to move with the audience at close range, and shouted to everyone to support the film together.
It was under such circumstances that the drama "Veteran" became completely popular and drove a huge wave of movie-watching, and Huang Zhengmin, as the leading actor, has become a veritable box office elixir, very popular, and Yin Tianyou, who played with him for the first time, is even more of a latecomer, red and purple. Whenever he appeared in a movie theater to interact with the audience, it caused screams and commotion among the fans. This situation has been going on for a long time, which has made Yoon Tianyou's popularity soar again, and even surpassed the South Korean president in media reports!
But this is not the end, the box office and the number of moviegoers of "Veteran" are still exerting force, constantly increasing, and constantly breaking records.
It broke through the 10 million mark on the 25th day of its release, becoming the 17th blockbuster in Korean film history and the 13th local Korean film with tens of millions of people.
In fact, the film exceeded 1 million people in 3 days, 2 million people in 4 days, 3 million people in 6 days, 4 million people in 9 days, 5 million people in 10 days, 6 million people in 12 days, 7 million people in 14 days, 8 million people in 18 days, 9 million people in 19 days, and now it has exceeded 10 million viewers in 25 days, and the single-day box office pre-sale rate is still high.
At the same time, South Korea's SBS TV station contacted JYP Entertainment Company for the first time, and although it was suspected of going through the back door, it triumphantly gained power and made an exclusive interview with the crew of "Veteran".
Yoo Sung-won, who has now become South Korea's "Ten Million Director", said in an interview with the media: "First of all, I would like to thank the audience who love and support "Veteran". I would also like to thank all the staff and actors who created this "Veteran", I think they all deserve applause. On behalf of myself, all the cast and crew of "Veterans", I would like to thank you all again. ”
As the actor who plays the role of justice in this play, Huang Zhengmin also said in an interview: "I was really happy when I filmed "Veteran". Now there are so many viewers who also enjoy the pleasure brought by this movie, and I am very grateful to them. It will also be further with a better image in the future. ”
FIVE Yoon Cheon-woo, who played the villain this time, said: "I'm sorry, but my role as Cho Tae-woo has caused public outrage across the country, and the uneasiness of playing this role has also been washed away by the love given by everyone. I will not let go of my vanity because of the number of tens of millions, but I will repay everyone's love with continuous challenges. ”
Oh Da-so, a famous golden supporting actor in South Korea, said: "I keep breaking my own records, and all this is a blessing to everyone. Liu Haizhen also said: "I sincerely thank all the viewers who love "Veteran". I will always remember this moment. "Veteran" is Nice, and the audience is also Nice. ”
As soon as this interview came out, the whole movie became popular again, and the momentum was unstoppable. (To be continued.) )
