Chapter 347: JHJ's Big Move
On April 19, a few days after the Baeksang Art Awards ended, the Chosun Ilbo recounted in detail the miracle that happened to the film "The King's Man" and the impact of the film on all aspects of society under the title "The End of an Epoch-Making Film".
"From the release on December 29 last year to April 18 this year, the miracle caused by "The King's Man" still affects and continues in all aspects of people's lives, as of the 17th, "The King's Man" broke through 12.3 million 775 viewers in the country, and as of the final screening on the 18th, since its release on December 29, 2005, it lasted 112 days, and the total number of audiences in the country was 12.3 million 1289. The film was screened last night. The film, which has a pure production cost of only 6 billion won, is expected to receive more than 100 billion won in direct revenue from the box office, overseas output, and additional rights to the video.
In addition, CJ Entertainment and Lotte Films, the distribution companies of "The King's Man", jointly issued a statement saying, "Although some theaters will continue to screen the film after the final screening on the 18th, the distribution company will take the 18th as the final statistical deadline." As a result, the new record for the highest audience in the history of the film was finally fixed at 12,301,289.
At the same time, on the day of the final screening yesterday, the "Changsheng-Kongji" humanoid puppet used by Kong Ji in "The King's Man" finally appeared at the Shingae Department Store Seoul Gangnam Store.
As the hottest newcomer in the film and television industry this year, Li Junji has experienced a taste that only superstars can experience, turn on the TV, no matter which TV station you can see, this young star appears in various types of advertisers, from the latest mobile phones to various digital products, from international brand-name clothing products to cosmetics, drinks and so on.
The well-known domestic beverage brand "Lotte Seven Stars" invited Lee Joon-gi to endorse its newly launched guava drink, and on the day of the advertisement, the product was sold out, and Lee Joon-gi's poster pasted outside the store was also "stolen". The company's propagandists exclaimed: "It's the first time I've seen such a rapid advertising effect!" And to create this magical advertising effect. There is only Lee Joon-gi.
In the 42nd Baeksang Arts Awards held on the evening of April 14, "The King's Man" won the most heavyweight film department award in one fell swoop, and Lee Jun-ki won the Best Newcomer Acting Award for the role of Kong Ji in "The King's Man", and he also became the only artist to hold two trophies that night (Best Newcomer Acting Award + INSTYLE Fashion Clothing Award).
The beneficiary of "The King's Man" is far more than this, although Jiang Chengyan, who also has a good performance in the movie, does not have many scenes, but there is more than one company that has sent her an endorsement invitation.................."

"Boss. Bring me a copy of the Chosun Ilbo. ”
At a small newsstand on the streets of Seoul, Yan Chengqing, a light man, walked to the newsstand and stood still and said.
"What did you say?"
The one who was looking at the newsstand was an old man, probably because he didn't hear the man's words clearly behind his ears, so he leaned out of the newsstand with difficulty, looked at the man in front of him, and asked again loudly.
"I said to get me a copy of the Chosun Daily......" The man's lips moved, and finally he chose to give up, reached out and rummaged through the newsstand, and soon found a copy of the Chosun Daily published today, after finding it, he raised the newspaper in his hand and asked, "Uncle, how much is this?" ”
After paying for it. The man carefully clamped the newspaper in his hand in his squeaky socket, and then walked into the subway station, ready to take the morning subway to work.
Seoul is an international metropolis, housing prices are naturally not cheap, most of the young people rent in the outskirts of the metropolis, if you have to give an example, like Tongzhou and Daxing outside Beijing, and the place where they work and work is in the city, so there are not only many people who catch the subway early in the morning. And it's crowded. But his luck was good today, because he came relatively early. So I got a seat at the front of the line, and soon the subway car was filled with a surging crowd, and people outside the car were still crowding around, wanting to get on the first train.
Naturally, it was much more comfortable to sit than to stand, especially in the carriage that was crowded around like canned sardines, and he took out the newspaper he bought to pick up the news he was interested in.
"The King's Man" has been offline?"
I saw a report on "The King's Man" in the Chosun Ilbo. Yan Chengqing was depressed, because there was a software project in the company before, although he had known that a new movie called "The King's Man" was very good in the recent movie theater, but he had not been able to find time to watch it, and he originally thought that it would be okay to postpone it for two more days after the screening time was so long. When this project is over, he is ready to go to the cinema alone to masturbate, who let him not have a girlfriend. It's just that who would have thought that before I said I wanted to watch it, the movie would actually go offline!
The full expectation can only turn into the bitterness in the heart, and in the end, only tangled remains......
"Are you also from Busan?"
Yan Chengqing was still immersed in remorse, and a surprised voice came from above his head and asked him.
"Huh?" Hearing that someone seemed to be talking to him, Yan Chengqing raised his head and looked at it, and what caught his eye was a refreshing short-haired soft girl, leaning on the pillar next to his seat, struggling to maintain her balance in the crowded carriage, so as not to be squeezed around and in danger.
"I'm from Busan, why are you too?" Yan Chengqing also felt a little surprised, and it always made people feel a little touched when they met their old acquaintances in a foreign country, especially a beautiful girl.
"Yes, I'm under the sand of Busan, do you also like "The King's Man"?"
As a programmer, a single dog, and a senior FFF team member, Yan Chengqing probably the only thing he didn't learn was to communicate with girls, perhaps because he was flashed into the eyes by the beautiful girl in front of him, his face quickly turned rosy, and his speech became slurred, "Uh...... Yes...... I still like it, but I didn't wait for me to see it. The movie is already offline. ”
While speaking, Yan Chengqing reached out and grabbed the back of his head embarrassedly, and he didn't know that he was telling a lie to deceive the girl in front of him.
"You haven't seen it yet?" The girl was a little surprised, after all, this is a phenomenal movie with more than 12 million viewers, and there are only a total of 12 million people in South Korea? This means that almost one in four people has gone to see the movie "The King's Man".
"Hmm!" Yan Chengqing nodded.
Speaking of which, after staying at home for too long, he realized that his sister had been standing since she was talking to him just now. He hurriedly stood up and invited the girl to sit down, "Come, you come and sit here!" ”
"No thanks!" The girl waved her hand and refused, but in the end she couldn't match Yan Chengqing's enthusiasm.
"Thank you!" The girl said gratefully.
"Do you go to school or work in Seoul?"
The pretty girl blinked her eyes, "Do I look pretty small?" ”
"That's not what I meant." Yan Chengqing hurriedly waved his hand to explain, and his eyes were not easily perceptible from the girl's upturned chest, so as not to have a bad impression of herself.
"I'm already at work. Working in the Central District ......"
"Really?" Yan Chengqing was even more surprised now, "I'm too, I'm also in the Central District......"
This is just one of the thousands of stories that happened because of "The King's Man", and many more are still ongoing......
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
With the end of the final screening of "The King's Man", the search popularity of "The King's Man" and Lee Jun-ki on the Internet finally dropped, taking advantage of the popularity of "The King's Man", various domestic films and blockbusters imported from abroad in the Korean film industry, which had been suppressed for almost half a year, gathered together and chose "The King's Man" to be released before and after the final screening. Many distribution companies are still secretly glad that the movies released by their companies have not been touched by this big monster.
"Lian Lizhi", "The Captain and the Little Detective", "Campus Princess", "Youth Comics", "Lovesick Lightyear" and many other movies have chosen to be released at this time, naturally they are afraid of this 'king's man' from the bottom of their hearts. The plague god was finally sent away, and everyone was only happy.
The production costs of these films are high and low, and the quality of the movies is also good and bad, but in general, the quality of the movies is quite average, and after watching "The King's Man", ordinary movie fans' taste for movie choices seems to have risen to a higher level. For some movies with more ordinary plots, I can't watch it.
"What's the latest movie recommendation?"
"Youth Comics" is very good, I recommend going to the cinema to see ......"
"Isn't it true that a lot of people say that this movie is average?"
"I beg you to recommend a few movies with similar quality to "The King's Man"......"
"What? With "The King's Man"? Recently, there is no more in China, so you can go abroad and have a look......"
Just when many fans are obsessed with the charm of "The King's Man" and can't extricate themselves, JHJFilm, a film and television production company that has produced two phenomenal movies "Welcome to Dongmo Village" and "The King's Man", has released several blockbuster news to the outside world one after another.
After reading these messages. Many senior insiders in the film and television industry have only one thought floating in their hearts: the wolf is coming!
…………………………………………………………………………
"Bong Joon-hoxi, what made you choose to cooperate with JHJFilm this time?"
At the production press conference of "Monster of the Han River", a reporter asked.
"Monster of the Han River" is not the first film directed by Bong Joon-ho, a "Kidnapping the Dog at the Door" debuted in 2000, and with the second work "Memories of Murder" directed in 2003, in addition to winning a high reputation, he won many important awards.
Although he is only 38 years old this year, although he has only made two works, he is a well-established film production company, because of this, the reporters in the audience are curious about what prompted Bong Joon-ho to cooperate with JHJFilm to shoot this monster movie mentioned in the introduction, after all, with his status and fame in the circle, he does not have to choose JHJFilm, a film production company, it should be a veteran film production company that grabs a lot of money in the circle, as long as he says the script, it is estimated that many companies will compete to send the money up, right?
""Monster of the Han River" is not quite the same as my previous "Memories of Murder", "Memories of Murder" is a crime movie based on a real case, but "Monster of the Han River" is the first monster movie in China......" Speaking of this, Bong Joon-ho deliberately paused, and then said with a smile: "It should be the first one, right?" I haven't looked up the information in detail, so don't blame me if it's wrong. ”
The reporters in the audience also laughed at the right time, but they did not forget the purpose of their trip, and seized the time to ask: "Is it because other domestic film production companies are not optimistic about monster movies?" ”
A reporter keenly discovered this question and raised his hand to ask a question.
"Of course, it's not all about that......" Bong Joon-ho said vaguely, savoring his words, which means that he did not deny the question just raised by the reporter.
Everyone is not optimistic about monster movies? There are still a lot of doubts in everyone's hearts, even if they are not optimistic, after all, Bong Junhao's name is here, at least he will not lose money.
"So what is the budget for the production of this film?"
For this question, Bong Joon-ho did not choose to answer, but handed the microphone to Jung Hyuk-jae, who was sitting next to him.
"The total budget for the production is 12 billion!" Jung Hyuk-jae gently spit out a number into the microphone, and there was a burst of exclamations from the audience.
"Huh...... That's a lot! ”
"It's enough to make two "The King's Man"."
"With such a high production cost, how much money should it cost to recover the cost."
Although the reporters in the audience were discussing in a whisper, no one forgot who the protagonists would be, and when the protagonists on the stage left, they had nowhere to find even if they wanted to find some information to write a report.
"Jung Hyuk Jae, do you have a lot of confidence in this movie? With such a high production cost, did all the revenue of "The King's Man" be suppressed? Not to be outdone, a reporter raised his hand to ask questions.
In addition to Jung Hyuk-jae, as the director of "Monster of the Han River", Bong Joon-ho is also the object of attention by reporters, "Bong Joon-ho xi, are other production companies in the circle worried about the cost of the film and choose not to invest?" ”
"With such a high cost, what do you think of the prospects for this film?"
"Compared with this year's "The King's Man", do you think "Monster of the Han River" can surpass "The King's Man"?"
For a while, the venue seemed chaotic, and soon the news about the movie "Monster of the Han River" was posted on the Internet, and more and more netizens joined the discussion after seeing it......
