"The King's Man" is on fire, as for how far to live? Just go to the cinema and take a look.

"The King's Man" set a record on the day of its premiere. Based on a survey of the audience's impressions, the film created a high rating of 9. 23 records. This is 9 more than the 9 that broke through the movie "Taiji Flag Flying", which broke through the largest number of viewers in Korean history. 21 has a higher rating.

As of January 1, 2006, "The King's Man" has exceeded 1.12 million viewers nationwide, and due to its high popularity, many theaters have begun to increase the number of theaters.

"Get me two tickets for the most recent "The King's Man" movie!"

At a movie theater in Gangbuk-gu, Seoul, a man waved a bill in his hand and said to the conductor.

"I'm sorry, there is only one ticket left for the latest "The King's Man" movie, do you think you need it?" The ticket seller checked the ticket system of the theater, and it showed that the seats in the theater for 100 people had almost all turned red, leaving only a lonely position on the edge of the front row, which was not the most suitable place to watch the movie.

"Well, forget it!" The man turned his head to look at his girlfriend, who was waiting for him not far behind him, who rejected the offer, and then immediately asked, "So when is the next one?" ”

"The next one is half an hour later, at half past 19." The conductor looked up the theater system and said.

"Okay, book me this one, two row seats!"

The man handed over the money, and the conductor stretched out his hands to take the money and punched out two tickets, "Sir, your tickets!" ”

"Okay, thank you!"

Although he only bought tickets for the next movie, it was already very good to be able to buy them, and he had heard about it before coming to the cinema to watch the movie, saying that among the movies that are being shown in the theater now, there is a shortage of tickets for "The King's Man". In general, CJ Entertainment and Lotte Entertainment were well advertised, and word of mouth from the audience in the days following the premiere attracted a lot of new audiences.

This theater in Jiangbei District is not small, and there are a lot of visitors on weekdays, but on the first day of the new year, there are many people who come here to watch the movie, men, women and children, everyone invariably chooses to come to the cinema on this day to relax, and take their wives and children to watch a movie feast that belongs to the family. Isn't that a very heartwarming thing?

"Mom, watch Ice Age 2: Melt, let's go watch this!" The little girl jumped up to her parents, pointed to the three-dimensional 3D poster erected on the side and said, "That little squirrel is so cute!" ”

The gentle woman smiled and touched her daughter's little head, and then said, "Do you like this little squirrel?" ”

Hearing her mother's inquiry, the little girl nodded desperately, and the crisp and cute children's voice said affirmatively: "I like it, the little squirrel in the movie is so cute." Always strive for its pine cones! ”

"Did you think of it yourself?" She really didn't expect her daughter to think so deeply, not to mention whether her teacher taught her the word 'hard work', just because she could think of these things from the movie is already very good.

As she spoke, she crouched down. looked at his daughter at eye level, and a doting and happy smile appeared on his face, "Our family's Enxing has grown up, and she is a big girl!" He said. Stretched out his finger and gently tapped the tip of his daughter's nose, with a doting face.

"Mom, can we get a baby squirrel?" The little girl looked up. looked at my mother expectantly.

"Well, you're going to ask your dad!"

Hearing her mother say this, the little girl cast her coquettish gaze on her father, who had a tall figure on the side, and her little hand tightly pulled the corner of his clothes and pleaded: "Dad, can I keep a little squirrel in our house?" ”

"Eun Xing, this is not good!" The man heard his daughter's words with a little heartbeat in his heart, but he still shook his head firmly, the little animal like a squirrel is still too insecure, what if he accidentally scratches his daughter? Although he is usually a rough man, as long as the matter is related to his daughter, he always thinks about things in the long run

"Why?" The little girl cried and pursed her lips, looking like she was going to cry, "I will teach it not to defecate in the open!" ”

Hearing their daughter's innocent words, the two of them, as parents, smiled happily.

"Audiences of the movie "Ice Age 2: Dissolution", which starts at 19:10, can now check in and enter!"

The radio has begun to play the ticket inspection information in a loop, this family of three heard the broadcast, the man picked up one hand of his daughter, the other hand held his wife, and the family came to the ticket gate with a smile to prepare for the ticket check.

"Eh, husband, look at it!" Suddenly, the woman grabbed her husband's hand and exclaimed.

"What?"

"Look at this movie, a colleague in our company mentioned this "The King's Man" when chatting, and they all said that this movie is very good!" The woman explained to her husband.

"Really? So why don't we watch this one after watching it later? The man suggested.

"But it says you can watch it over fifteen." The woman shook her head with some regret.

"In this case, we'll have to wait until we have time!" As he spoke, the man touched his daughter's little head and whispered, "Enxing, you will grow up healthy and happy in the future!" ”

"Husband, let's go in, the movie is about to start."

In the 21st century, everyone likes to use data to speak, and this is also true in the film industry.

"The King's Man" is very popular, not only has it blown up the Internet, forums and websites, but it has also caused a heated discussion about 'beautiful men' and 'same-sex love'.

As of January 1, the number of viewers of "The King's Man" exceeded 1.12 million across the country, and the theater chain began to increase the number of screenings, but it still couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the audience. The original drama "Er" restarted on the 1st due to the high popularity of the movie, and ranked first in advance tickets in the drama and song and dance drama departments.

Due to the popularity of "The King's Man", a drama collection containing the original drama "Er" was also sold in bookstores. The first edition in 2003 has now launched a revised version of the series, which was out of stock for 3 weeks because of its high popularity, and many people rushed into the bookstore not only to read books, but also to grab books. Within half an hour, it was out of stock again.

And on January 6, nine days after the release of "The King's Man", the number of moviegoers exceeded 2 million viewers nationwide, and the pre-sale tickets ranked first on the movie pre-sale list, accounting for nearly 50% of the share.

This time, JHJFilm, CJ Entertainment, and Lotte Film and Television all laughed, and this achievement can only be summed up in two words, awesome!

"Director Lee Jun-ik, I want to thank you this time!"

Jiang Chengxin, the person in charge of Lotte Film and Television, raised the wine glass on the table and said.

"Where, where, the results of the film can be so good now. It is also inseparable from the vigorous promotion of CJ Entertainment and Lotte Films! Li Junyi also smiled and picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all, "Let's eat, eat!" Chat while eating, talk while eating! ”

"Haha, okay, let's talk while eating!" Lee Sung-in, the head of CJ Entertainment, picked up a bite of food with chopsticks and laughed very cheerfully.

On the evening of the 8th, the heads of the producers and distributors behind the scenes of "The King's Man" all gathered together, first, for the follow-up publicity of the "King's Man" movie a week after its release; Secondly. This is also a celebration banquet, the movie was released for a week, and the results have been in line with 3 million views, looking at this momentum is even more fierce than last year's "Welcome to Dongmo Village"; The third is also to start preparations for the exhibition of "The King's Man" at overseas film festivals. After all, the results of the movie are so good, I always feel a little lost if I don't pull it out for a walk, after all, in Li Junyi's opinion, the literary and artistic nature of the movie is still there.

At the table, Jung Hyuk-jae sat next to Lee Jun-ik. While eating the dishes, I chatted with the bigwigs around me from time to time, and the first two are still very reliable for the three issues we just talked about. With such good results, the follow-up publicity must not be left behind, and the cost of publicity has to be added a little; In addition, the results are so good, a celebration banquet should also be deserved, after all, everyone has worked hard for so long, and they should treat themselves. As for the third one, preparing for overseas film festivals or something, Jung Hyuk-jae has no confidence in this.

"The King's Man" is a good movie, taking the emotional entanglement of three men as its theme, which is also an innovation in Korean films, however, if you look at it from the perspective of exploring homosexual issues, this movie does not seem to have too much novelty, and it is still very different from the neighboring country "Farewell My Concubine", at least in terms of artistry, it is not as profound as Lee Junyi thought, the movie description is so tortuous, and the rhythm of the storytelling of the whole film is obviously dragged, and I want to participate in overseas film festivals, These shortcomings alone are enough to shoot them, and the probability of winning the award is the greatest if you run the domestic Baeksang, Qinglong, Dazhong or something.

But to put it mildly, Jung Hyuk-jae really doesn't care about these awards, "The King's Man" is still a commercial film adapted from a stage play in the final analysis, maybe this commercial film has added a little element of literary films, adding a love scene between three men, but it is still a commercial film, what is the most important thing about commercial films? Box office, of course! As long as "The King's Man" is high enough at the box office, it will be enough in Jung Hyuk-jae's heart.

But if you want to give it a try, maybe the world has changed because of your arrival? "The King's Man" has won awards overseas, which will naturally stimulate the domestic box office......

In a movie theater near Cheongdam-dong, a group of three or four girls came out of the movie theater, and two of them still had a trace of tears on their faces, obviously moved by watching the movie. Although these girls are not very old, they all belong to that kind of beauty embryo, and when they grow up a little more, they must be the beauties who attract the attention of passers-by the most.

"Ernie, aren't you moved after watching the movie?" Lin Yun'er has a pair of red eyes, like a little rabbit, although she doesn't particularly understand the kind of emotions between men shown in the movie, but the lines and soundtrack of the movie still moved her, it is clearly a tragedy, and people just want to cry.

Lin Yuna shouted 'Ernie' and said that it was Kim Taeyeon on the side, who was obviously just a little more than a year older than her, and two years old according to the Korean algorithm, but Kim Taeyeon was too calm, and after watching the movie, she was like a child, which made Lin Yuna a little unbearable.

"I'm moved, I'm very moved after reading it!" Kim Taeyeon nodded as she spoke, it was clearly a little perfunctory, she yawned while talking just now, and when she came out of the movie theater, the cold wind blew, and she was a little sober.

As he spoke, Jung Min-chu, who was walking aside, suddenly smiled, stretched out his hand and pointed at Kim Taeyeon and said, "I saw it when I was in the cinema just now, Taeyeon she fell asleep on the seat!" ”

"No, Ernie!" Lin Yuna only felt incredible for a while, in her opinion, although the movie "The King's Man" is not the kind that is particularly good-looking and fascinated at first glance, but at least Lin Yuna She can also watch it, but she didn't expect Kim Taeyeon, the oldest in her group, to fall asleep while watching the movie.

"Although this movie is not directed by Hejae Oppa, I also saw Oppa's name at the beginning of the movie, and even our movie tickets were given to us by Hejae Oppa, Sister Min Chu went back and said to Oppa, Ernie you fell asleep while watching the movie, what will Hejae Oppa think in his heart?" Lin Yun'er, who had a black belly, snickered in her heart, and said intimidatingly on her lips, teasing Ernie or something, this feeling is really great, Lin Yun'er, who was a little trembling in her heart, thought so.

"I didn't fall asleep, but I've been a little tired from training lately, so I accidentally took a nap near the end of the movie!" Hearing Lin Yuna's 'false accusation' against herself, Kim Taeyeon was a little anxious, her pink little face turned red because she was in a hurry, and she hurriedly explained.

Because some of the recent training is too tired, Kim Taeyeon will fall asleep in the movie theater halfway through the movie, and she doesn't know what she is talking about in the second half at all, and the length of the movie is a little too long for more than two hours and nearly three hours, so she can't help but fall asleep.

"Sister Min Chu, did you say?" Lin Yun'er handed the conversation to Zheng Minchu on the side, and winked at her as she spoke.

"yes!" As an accomplice, Zheng Minchu smiled and nodded.

Only Kim Taeyeon, who was blushing on the side, couldn't explain it, seeing this, Lin Yuna and Zheng Minchu looked at each other and smiled, haha, she was finally deceived!

Seeing this, Kim Taeyeon reacted, and her face turned red because she was angry, "Ah, Lin Yuna, don't run!" ”
