Whenever there is a popular enough movie in the film industry, then the movie released at the same time seems a bit tragic, and it is inevitable that it will be ignored by people and become a transparent person-like existence.

This is the case with "Welcome to Dongmo Village", the same is true for "The King's Man", and today in "Lao Qian", except for "X-Men 3: Last Stand", which can maintain a certain number of shows under the pressure of "Lao Qian", other movies released in the same schedule, the number of shows and the number of screens seem much more pitiful, and the number of shows and screens of several movies add up to one-third of "Lao Qian".

If it is said that the theater and the theater party had reservations in the number of appearances and the number of screens because of the leakage of the source of "Lao Qian", then when the box office results of "Lao Qian" in the first week were released, the attitude of the theater and the theater side immediately came to a 360° reversal.

In this circle, although there is never a shortage of inspirational stories, the word 'profit' is the one that will always be the topic, the one that will never fade out of style.

Although this week's movie box office statistics have not yet been fully released, there should be no big problem for the film "Lao Qian" directed by Jung Hyuk-jae to win the weekly box office championship in the second week, and the film won the first round in the summer movie war. And according to the statistics of the Film Promotion Committee, "Lao Qian", which was only released on July 8, has set a total box office of more than 2 million in nine days until yesterday, and also won the first place in the box office ranking last weekend.

The summer season has always been the most competitive time for blockbusters, and this year there are also blockbusters such as "Radio Star", "Nine-Tailed Fox Family", "Our Happy Time", and "The Resurrection of the Family" have been released one after another. "Lao Qian" has sprung up with a wonderful storyline, with a box office share of 48.8%.

"Lao Qian" is classified as a movie that can only be watched by people over 18 years old, and at the beginning of the screening, many relevant people and audiences generally believed that this would affect the box office of "Lao Qian", plus there was such a thing before the screening. The source of the film has been leaked, but with the wonderful performances of Cho Seung-woo, Kim Hye-so and other leading actors, the film has won praise from the audience, and the box office results have also achieved very good results.

Last week's movie box office rankings ranked behind "Lao Qian" were "The Resurrection of the Family" starring Shin Hyun-joon, "Our Happy Times" directed by Song Hae-sung, Park ****'s "Radio Star" and "Baby Project" starring Jackie Chan (blog), Hollywood movies are also "X-Men 3: Last Stand" is really a "Last Stand", although it has the bonus of "Hollywood" aura, the number of viewers of "X-Men's" is hot after three days of popularity over the weekend. Soon he was treated coldly, and at this time he could only sigh with emotion 'not adapting to the water and soil'.

The position of "X-Men 3: Last Stand" is a little awkward, but the results of "Lao Qian" are becoming more and more amazing.

The film "Lao Qian" directed by Jung Hyuk-jae exceeded 2 million viewers on the 9th day of release, reaching 2 million faster than the highest-grossing **** film "Friend" in history.

Compared with 2001, when "Friends" took 14 days to reach 2 million viewers, "Lao Qian" can be said to show a faster box office growth rate. And "Lao Qian" is currently being played in more than 400 theaters in South Korea, and the ticket booking of "Lao Qian" is also far ahead of the major movie ticket pre-sale websites, if the current trend continues, then "Lao Qian" has entered the TOP10 movies in Korean film history, and it is also expected to challenge the highest box office record of "Friends".

"Quick. Hurry, hurry! The reports on the main page of the new week have been sorted out, and they will be collectively sent to the printing house to start work in a while. ”

In the entertainment editorial room of "Asia Daily", everyone is in a bit of a hurry at the moment. It's about to be delivered to the printing house to start work, but the news on the main page has just been finalized, and there is no time to check for typos.

"Who is looking for this news?" The entertainment editor-in-chief suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the above article about a certain star attending a certain movie event or something.

Hearing the words of his editor-in-chief, one of the people in the audience timidly raised his hands. "Editor-in-chief, this is what I was looking for."

Hearing the words of his subordinates, the editor-in-chief turned his head. There were no other superfluous words, a simple word, but it was a true thought in his heart, "Change!" ”

"Change the headline news on the main page to news related to "Lao Qian"......"

Hearing the proposal from the editor-in-chief, everyone was a little surprised, "Isn't this too sudden, the media have been paying attention to the box office trend of "Lao Qian" recently, although the audience's attention is quite high, but it can't stand the diversion of newspapers and online media!" ”

"No problem!"

Since the editor-in-chief said so, everyone understands that it is not once or twice that the editor-in-chief wants to do this, everyone grinned, and then seized the time to devote themselves to the next typesetting work.

Soon the re-typesetting and arrangement of the layout was delivered, this time the editor-in-chief didn't say anything, but just put forward a small request, that is, to replace the photos of the original male and female leading actors of "Lao Qian" Cho Seung-woo and Kim Hye-so, but put the photos of Jung Hyuk-jae on it, everyone felt a little strange after seeing this change, after all, from the audience's familiarity, the attention of the male and female protagonists in the whole movie is higher, why not put the two of them on the front page, Instead, put Jung Hyuk-jae's photo on top?

Hearing that some of his subordinates didn't quite understand what he was doing this for, as the editor-in-chief, he explained: "Don't look at him, although he is only behind the scenes as a director, but when it comes to the audience's curiosity about him, Jung Hyuk-jae must be the first, celebrities and artists have a lot of time when their big and small affairs are public, and the news reports are rotten, and Jung Hyuk-jae is what everyone wants to know." ”

"However, we don't have much to do with Jung Hyuk-jae's private life here?" A subordinate immediately raised the question.

It's definitely okay to put Jung Hyuk-jae's photo on the front page. But you can't just put a photo and you're done, right? There must be some news or scandal about Jung Hyuk-jae, right?

This is indeed a problem, as the editor-in-chief, he just wanted to say something, when the door of his department was slammed open from the outside, a colleague ran into the office, first found a water dispenser, poured a few sips of water, he seemed to come back to life, looked up and saw that the editor-in-chief he was looking for was in front of him, and immediately trotted all the way to Gulai, standing in front of the editor-in-chief and several colleagues, while panting heavily. While showing the camera in his hand to everyone, "This ...... This is a photo taken in front of a theater...... Zheng ...... Jung Hyuk-jae and his girlfriend? ”

"Girlfriend?"

Hearing this news, everyone's interest came up, as a behind-the-scenes staff, the identity of the director seems to make Jung Hyuk-jae's scandal not so concerning, but now it's different, the audience is interested in "Lao Qian", and all the news about "Lao Qian" can get the greatest attention, at this time, Jung Hyuk-jae, who is the director, was unexpectedly revealed to be his girlfriend. Isn't that a godsend?

"Are you sure it's your girlfriend?"

"If it's not a girlfriend, will you still have a boyfriend? It doesn't look like a figure! ”

Just now, he wanted to find something to do when Jung Hyuk-jae was in college, but he didn't need it now, because there was this scandal!

After listening to the panting words of his subordinates, the editor-in-chief told him here. "Now the news is coming, let's carefully sort out the content and then show me the sample, we must be the first in this matter, and we must not let other newspapers take the lead!"

Hear the advice of the editor-in-chief. Everyone immediately replied, "Yes!" ”

The editor-in-chief turned around and left, just leave this kind of thing to his subordinates, all he has to do is grasp the general direction. Instead of doing everything himself, when he turned around, there was their shouting and discussion behind him, and a smile appeared on his lips after hearing everyone's discussion, what he wanted was such an effect, as a media person, he couldn't help but want to know the identity of this woman, not to mention the gossip viewers and fans.

"It's really tightly wrapped!" Everyone's eyes fell on the photos taken at the scene, and the pixels were not particularly high, while watching, everyone's complaints fell on the reporters who captured these photos on the side, staring at him, and the mouth fell, "You took these photos?" Isn't your photo hormone very good, why are these photos so blurry and the pixels are so low? ”

Seeing that everyone was gathering fire to 'attack' himself, his dignity as a photographer was immediately activated, and he immediately explained: "This was not taken, I mean that these photos were not taken by me, and when I arrived at the scene, Zheng Hyuk-jae and his rumored girlfriend had already left, I found a few viewers who took pictures at the scene, and it took a lot of effort to buy these photos, and then took a few more photos, if Zheng Hyuk-jae and his rumored girlfriend were still there when I arrived, I'm sure I can even get a picture of his eyelashes! ”

Speaking of which, he remembered a particularly important thing, "Huh...... Then will our newspaper reimburse me for the money I bought these photos? ”

The crowd pretended to be an 'ostrich', indicating that they had not heard what he had just said......

………………………………………………………………………………………………

"New director Jung Hyuk-jae fell into a love of drinking, and his girlfriend became a mystery?" This is the headline of the Seoul Daily, and it was seen by so many people in the theater yesterday that not only the Asia Daily News got the photo, but the Seoul Daily also bought the original version of the photo from the fans, and also drew up the title on the front page of the entertainment section.

By contrast, the headline of the Asia Daily was much simpler, with just three words, "Who is she?" ”

As a post-80s born in 1980, the young director Jung Hyuk-jae, who is only 27 years old this year, always gives people the appearance of an old city, although being a director is a behind-the-scenes job, but even during the promotion period, you rarely see him appear in some shows or be interviewed by some media, and unlike some other directors, they will talk a lot about their films, will explain a lot.

I remember that when I had the honor of interviewing director Jung Hyuk-jae before, I asked such a question, at that time, "My name is Kim Sam-soon" was in full swing, and it also caused a lot of heated discussions among the audience, "Do you have anything to say about your TV series?" At that time, I only remembered that director Jung Hyuk-jae smiled, that is, a smile for a moment, and I felt that he was only in his twenties, and he was only a young man compared to me, an old woman.

I still remember what he said very clearly, 'After the TV series is filmed, only the audience in front of the TV has the right to comment!' ’

At that time, I asked again, 'Can I talk about my feelings?' Then I saw him tilt his head a little and smile faintly, "Yes!" ’

To tell the truth, if it weren't for the fact that I was more than a round older than Jung Hyuk-jae, I would have jumped on it directly like a nymphomaniac, because I was teased by someone and didn't want it, so I kept telling myself in my heart that it was just a boy, not a man. In the following interview, I talked about some of my feelings after watching "My Name is Kim Sam Soon", director Jung Hyuk Jae is always listening very carefully, and it is not the kind of perfunctory, his eyes are very gentle, and when you speak, there is always a hint of a smile on the corner of your mouth, and the whole person looks like a warm feeling, just like the sun in early spring.

Although everyone always talks about Jung Hyuk-jae's works when they talk about his works, I want to talk more about himself, just like he was photographed watching a movie with a certain woman in a movie theater this week, I just want to ask you, who is the happy woman in his arms in the photo? ”

A report that could not be considered a report at all was published in Asia Daily, but it attracted the attention of a wide range of netizens, and the identity of the woman was also on Naver's search list for the first time......
