'Tens of millions' is a very tempting word, although it also has another meaning, but for practitioners in the film industry, 'tens of millions' is a goal they have been pursuing, as film practitioners, tens of millions of movie-watching movies they have seen so far, a "Shiwei Island", a "Taiji Flag Flying", and a movie "Welcome to Dongmo Village", which became popular on the big and small screens last year, of course, its score is only a little more than 10 million, It is not excluded that there are behaviors of brushing the box office and stealing the box office, but this is also 10 million!

Besides, even so, this is also a height that many movies are difficult to achieve, after all, the foundation of "Welcome to Dongmo Village" is very good, and I have never seen any movie that can be brushed from seven or eight million viewers to 10 million, after all, no one will be idle to spend money to buy the box office, it is purely a lot of money and there is no place to burn.

The Korean film industry has entered a period of rapid development after entering the new millennium, during which because of the impact of Hollywood movies, resulting in South Korea's domestic films are gradually moving closer to Hollywood movies, starting from the 2003 movie "Sebi Island", the Korean film industry officially entered the circle of tens of millions of moviegoers, in addition to "Sebi Island", the 2004 movie "Taiji Flag Flying" and last year, that is, 2005 "Welcome to Dongmo Village", Maintaining the speed of one 10-million-level movie a year, the film industry is developing in a healthy and orderly manner.

Time into 2006, the rapid development of the Korean film industry in the past year has brought a lot of benefits to filmmakers, one of the purposes of people investing in the film industry is to make money, if the film is made and put into the market to make money, then it is estimated that there will not be so many film production companies have joined in, ready to eat the big cake of the 'film industry'.

The filmmakers are very happy, after all, the new year has arrived, according to the current development momentum of the Korean film industry. There will definitely be a 10-million-level movie this year, but I don't know if I have this blessing!

Someone thought so.

It's just that before these people's hearts can be happy, a 'bad news' came that completely dispelled their enthusiasm, and the news that the number of viewers of "The King's Man" exceeded 9 million came, and it seems that another '10 million' level movie is about to be released. Nine million moviegoers? It's a lot, it's a lot, but CJ Entertainment and Lotte Films, as the distributors, are not too much, 9 million, and seeing that '10 million' is just around the corner, how can you relax at this time?

in South Korea. TV dramas with ratings exceeding 40% are called "national TV dramas"; Films with more than 10 million viewers are called "national films". The reason for this is that the total population of South Korea is 51,448,183, and if the number of moviegoers exceeds 10 million, it means that 1 out of 5 people in Korea went to the cinema to see the movie.

On January 24, due to the popularity of "The King's Man", the Korean social and cultural circles began to set off a big discussion about same-sex love and gender-neutral charm. The entertainment and culture page is full of the words "beautiful men". Actor Lee Joon-gi, who stood out in "The King's Man", has become a vane of Korean culture, a representative of androgynous charmers, and even evolved "Lee Joon-gi Syndrome" among fans.

Then on January 26, "The King's Man" won the Best Director Award (Lee Jun-ik), Best Supporting Actor Award (Lee Joon-gi), and Best Trailer Award at the 3rd "MaxMovie" Best Film Awards, with 3 awards exclusively. It can be regarded as opening a journey to raise money for this movie.

Because South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun went to the Lotte Theater in downtown Seoul to watch a movie on the 21st, since "The King's Man" exceeded 6 million viewers on the 21st, news comments about the film began to extend from the cultural page to the political page. "The King's Man" has even become a compulsory course for politicians and civil servants. At the same time, South Korean politics began to quote "The King's Man" to set off a satirical offensive and defensive war on the issue of cabinet reshuffle.

When the box office performance of "The King's Man" exceeded 7 million, it also coincided with the consecutive holidays in South Korea. In order to welcome the arrival of the New Year's holiday, the number of theaters nationwide will be expanded from 350 to 400. The number of moviegoers has skyrocketed because of the consecutive holidays, and almost every theater is full, especially "The King's Man". The number of screenings is simply not enough, and there are a lot of people around the ticket counter.

On January 30, the number of viewers nationwide exceeded 8.21 million (8.206 million and 4 to be exact), ranking fourth among the best-selling films of all ages in South Korea, followed by "Welcome to Dongmo Village", and the original drama "Er" was re-staged. The performance of "Er", which had been extended to January 30, has been postponed again. At the invitation of the audience, we will tour Daegu, Busan, Daejeon and other places from February ~ March.

On February 2, according to the latest statistics, "The King's Man" topped the weekend advance ticket for the sixth consecutive week (38. 9%), successfully suppressing the Hollywood blockbuster "Memoirs of a Geisha" (second place, 20. 76%) and "Dou Master One" (third place, 14. 15%）。

Statistics on February 3: As of the 2nd, "The King's Man" has exceeded 8.8 million viewers nationwide, and the breakthrough of 9 million is just around the corner, and in the early morning of February 3, the number of viewers of "The King's Man" officially exceeded the 9 million mark. According to the latest statistics, "The King's Man" has been ranked first in weekend advance tickets for the sixth consecutive week (38. 9%), successfully suppressing the Hollywood blockbuster "Memoirs of a Geisha" (second place, 20. 76%) and "Head Master One" (third place, 14. 15%), which is not much of a threat at all.

More than 1/3 of the viewers who left messages on the message board of the official website have watched the movie many times. There was even a day when the "King's Man Fanatic", who watched it 4 times alternately and watched it a total of 35 times, appeared. The popularity of "The King's Man" has also spread to mobile communication networks, and people have begun to buy original scripts in the form of e-books, and it has become a trend to use mobile phones to download and read.

When the eyes of people in the film industry turned away from the shocking number of 'nine million', the name of the producer on the movie poster caught their eyes, how is this possible?

"The King's Man" director Lee Jun-ik and his company Cineworld Entertainment, everyone knows about it, after all, it is also a veteran production company in the circle, but this JHJEntertainment also feels a little familiar?

"Isn't this JHJFilm one of the production companies of last year's "Welcome to Dongmo Village"?" They still have the impression of the name JHJFilm. I just couldn't remember it for a while.

"What? It turned out to be the company that produced the movie "Welcome to Dongmo Village"? At present, there are three 10-million-level films in the Korean domestic film industry, counting the "King's Man", which is about to break 10 million, JHJFilm has two places, which is too scary, right?

"I was a little surprised when I saw it!" Hearing the voice of the person next to him, this person immediately responded, "Of the three tens of millions of movies, JHJFilm accounts for one, and this one is about to break 10 million." JHJFilm's strength is a bit too strong! ”

"When do you think "The King's Man" will break the record of 10 million people?" Someone asked with curiosity.

"I guess it's only in the next one or two days!"

Because of the red and purple box office results of "The King's Man", the topics about "The King's Man" are still swiped on the Internet without exception, and there are naturally fans and black ones, anyway, there is no need for CJ Entertainment to come forward, fans alone have already done a big thing, and the heat of the topic is hot, and the heat of the topic can't stop for a while.

As of the 8th, "The King's Man" has exceeded 9,715,472 viewers nationwide, ranking second in the pre-sale ticket list in the 7th week. The first place is the Hollywood film "Memoirs of a Geisha", but despite this, the momentum of "The King's Man" is still very strong, and it is estimated that the number of viewers will soon exceed 10 million. And this time, Jung Hyuk-jae waited with Lee Jun-ik for this exciting moment.

"Nervous?"

The lobby on the first floor of the Lotte Hotel in the center of Seoul has been contracted by the crew and distributor of "The King's Man", and there is enough food and drink. People come and go looking for a partner who speaks their language.

Li Junyi came to Jung Hyuk-jae's side with a glass of red wine, and the two touched their glasses lightly, and Li Junyi said with a smile: "Why don't you go over there and chat with everyone?" Long time no see. The big guys in the crew also miss you! ”

"I'm not going to join in the fun, it's good to be here alone, at least it's not so noisy." Zheng Hezai raised his neck and drank the red wine in his hand, and then said with a smile, "I guess they will come over to pour wine for the two of us in a while." ”

"Impossible, right?"

"How could it not be? Look behind you......" Hearing Lee Jun-ik's words, Jung Hyuk-jae stretched out his hand and pointed behind him, and then saw a man and a woman in the crew walking towards Lee Jun-ik with a full wine glass in their hands.

"Li PD, I toast you!"

"Well, thank you!"

Li Junyi didn't continue to drink after a few sips, even if he could control himself again, but there was a lot of wine at the buffet dinner tonight, and after sending away the two just now, Lee Junyi came to Jung Hyuk Jae's side and was just about to speak, when he heard someone shouting excitedly: "Success, success, the number of movie viewers has exceeded 10 million!" ”

Hearing the shouting of this staff member, the scene suddenly fell into a sea of joy, breaking 10 million, after more than a month of hard work, the total number of movie viewers finally reached 10 million, congratulations! (To be continued.) )
