As a representative of Korean films, Bong Joon-ho, his movies are loved by many fans, and at the same time, movies about him are mostly called "realistic fables", "dark human nature", "hidden social pain" and "cruel truth", he can always let people get a glimpse of the entire human world through a corner, and let people understand that justice is never a shout, and human nature will eventually go through a hundred turns.

There are many people who like Bong Joon-ho, and there are many people who don't like him, including several well-known film critics in the film industry who have publicly stated that they don't like Bong Joon-ho's movies.

"Bong Joon-ho Xi is a very good storyteller director, whether it is his "Kidnapping the Dog at the Door" or "Memories of Murder", Bong Joon-ho tells us one wonderful story after another, people who like him love him to heaven, and people who don't like him will not watch it at all, it is very unfortunate that I belong to the category of people who don't like his movies, the movies he excludes are like a scalpel for me, cutting different affected areas every time, making people really touch the darkness of this society, And every time I get lost for a while because of his films.

It's just because of the peculiarity of my profession that I had to watch new movies recently, such as the story "Monster of the Han River" that Bong Joon-ho brought us for almost a year.

The following content may involve spoilers, if there are any viewers who haven't watched it, you can buy a ticket to read it first and then read this review of mine......"

At nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, the box office for the early morning premiere of "Monster of the Han River" had not yet come out, and although the results of the early morning had not yet been seen, when Bong Joon-ho came to a JHJ theater owned by Jung Hyuk-jae's company, when he saw the endless flow of people in the theater hall, Bong Joon-ho's heart finally relaxed.

People always see him as a well-known director in the film industry, but they don't know that every time he moves, he seems to be walking a tightrope, and he will fall off a cliff if he is not careful. For today's Bong Joon-ho, film is not only a craft to make a living, but also an ideal and an appeal to the society that he wants to represent a part of the masses, and film is more of a carrier, not a tool.

Everyone's impression of Bong Joon-ho seems to be linked to business and art, 'commercial and artistic are excellent', 'the best commercial film', 'the combination of commerciality and artistry is just right' and so on, to be honest, Bong Joon-ho is more tired than anyone else, not only to pay attention to artistry at the same time, but also not to let investors lose money, commercial performance is also good, which is a special test of a director's skills. Works such as "Kidnapping the Dog at the Door" and "Memories of Murder" are not high in investment, and on the premise of ensuring artistry, millions of moviegoers have recovered the cost, but this time "Monster of the Han River" is not the same as his previous works, as a big-budget movie from last year to the present, whether it can be recognized and loved by the audience and fans, Bong Joon-ho is also a little worried about this, afraid that there are not many fans watching the movie, and he is afraid that he will not be recognized by the audience.

"You're director Bong Joon-ho, right?"

Bong Joon-ho, who has curly hair and a scruffy beard, is actually very easy to recognize, especially these in-depth fans, for them, Idol and stars may not know each other, but the directors and screenwriters in the circle can say one, two, three, this is not Bong Joon-ho was recognized by fans not long after he came.

"You're all watching the movie together, aren't you?" Bong Joon-ho didn't deliberately hide anything, looking at the young man who looked like a young couple in front of him, he asked with a smile, "Are you here to watch "Monster of the Han River"?" ”

"Yes, Director Bong Joon-ho, you may not know it, but I'm a big fan of yours, and my goal is to become a director like you!" The boy in the little couple hurriedly took out a paper and pen from his backpack and handed them to Bong Joon-ho, as he spoke.

Bong Joon-ho saw the strange result of the paper and pen, and after skillfully signing his name, he said with a smile: "Then you need to work hard from now on." ”

"Senior Bong Joon-ho, there is a movie week in our school these days, do you have time to come and take a look? By the way, tell us about your cinematic path? ”

For the young juniors in the circle, Bong Junhao has always adhered to the attitude of being able to carry a handful, and after thinking for a while, he agreed, "This is my agent's phone number, just contact him after the time is determined, and I will give you another surprise when the time comes." ”

"Really? Thank you, seniors! The boy took the piece of paper with the phone number written on it and put it close to him like a treasure, "Senior, then we won't bother you for now." ”

"Have you taken back all the questionnaires for the premiere?"

Early in the morning, all the employees of JHJ Entertainment were busy, and the box office statistics, questionnaire surveys, and statistics could not be stopped.

"It's been taken back, and now the audience's praise is being counted, and it is expected to be counted in ten minutes."

"Hurry up, the president is still waiting!" The supervisor is urging the employees he has accepted behind him, and in the office not far away, Jung Hyuk-jae is having a good meeting with Bong Joon-ho.

"The box office of the premiere is almost counted, senior, you seem to be a little worried?" Looking at Bong Joon-ho in front of him, Jung Hyuk-jae couldn't help but say with a smile.

"It's an old problem, whenever a new movie is released, I'm always worried that I don't like it, and I'm worried that others don't want to watch it, ahhaha, I'm born to worry about my life!" Bong Joon-ho said with a self-deprecating sigh.

The two were chatting when the office door was pushed open through the outer door, and the employees walked in with the statistics they had counted.

"President, the number of box office moviegoers at the premiere in the early morning has been fully counted, and most of the questionnaire surveys at the premiere of 33 theaters across the country have also been collected, and fans generally reflect that the movie is not the same as they imagined, but it is very good, and the specific statistics are here."

Jung Hyuk-jae picked up the data sheet, glanced at the numbers on it, and finally let go of his heart completely, "Senior, get ready for a treat!" ”
