Chapter 396: Only one step away from a miracle

【Broadcast】Pay attention to "Reading at the starting point", get the first-hand news of 515 red envelopes, and students who have not grabbed red envelopes after the Chinese New Year can show their skills this time.

Even if the audience is reluctant to give up the world in the movie and the vivid and vivid characters in the movie, the screening of "Lao Qian" finally bid farewell to the theater after ten weeks of long online screening.

Film distribution companies generally sign film distribution contracts with movie theaters, and the release of the film is basically one month. If the attendance rate of the movie is quite low within a week or three weeks, the cinema and the cinema chain can make their own decisions to release the film, because the cinema company is the active party, so even if the movie is released in less than a month, the film distributor will not say anything.

Generally speaking, the release schedule of a new movie is 20-35 days, and the box office in the first week of the movie is enough to see the quality of the film and the market prospects, but this is theoretically if the box office is not good, the cinemas will show fewer screenings or even no screenings according to their own arrangements, but some movies are slow to heat up, maybe its opening attendance rate is not high, and the box office of the first week of the movie is not high, and the attendance rate is still poor, but it just has a kind of magic, when some cinemas are out of the film, This type of movie may also be re-released by many theaters due to its full stamina, and the release time will continue to be extended because of the increasing attendance.

There is a kind of small-budget film in the film industry, which is simply a "three-day tour of the theater", which was taken off the shelves as soon as it was launched, and it is necessary to arrange the number of screenings reasonably according to the audience's love for this film, of course, it is also possible because of this unexpectedly eye-catching, it may only be released for 4 weeks, it will be postponed to 7 or 8 weeks because of too many audiences, and normal movies will generally be released for 2-3 weeks, but the more you get to the back, the fewer the screenings.

"Lao Qian" does not belong to any of the above categories, because when it first started to be promoted, there were a lot of manga fans who paid attention, and CJ Entertainment and JHJEntertainment put a lot of effort into publicity. The number of moviegoers in the first week of "Lao Qian" has set a new record for 19 banned films, and after ten weeks of screening, the final number of moviegoers of "Lao Qian" is fixed at 8,931,321, surpassing the highest-grossing three in history. The final number of viewers of the film "Friends" starring Zhang Dongjian was 8.2 million, and "Lao Qian" successfully raised this record to 8.93 million people, which is actually only one step away from the miracle of 10 million, but unfortunately it still failed in the subject matter.

With the end of the movie, the attention of many media once again focused on the "Lao Qian" movie itself.

After ten weeks of screenings, "The Old Thousand" finally came to an end. Director Jung Hyuk-jae has created a real and virtual world for us, where there is a skilled gambler, a charming Ms. Jung, and a Pyeongkyung chief who always wears a gentleman's hat...... When the movie was first released, the reporter was fortunate to go to the premiere site, and when the movie ended, the lights in the theater were turned on, and the audience and many media people still failed to come out of the world created for us by the movie, and the vivid characters were as if they had lived around us.

I wrote a review of the movie just a week after it was released, and I gave it an 8.0 at the time. Now it seems that this score may be even higher, and after watching this movie, you will understand the meaning of the lens language used by director Jung Hyuk-jae in the movie. ”

"Maybe it's because it's my first time directing a film. In terms of the picture quality of the movie, the movie "Lao Qian" is not in the top class, but despite this, the picture language created by director Jung Hyuk Jae is convincing. Many of the gambling scenes in the film are filmed extremely tensely, but they are not muddy, and the passionate performances of Cho Seung-woo and Kim Hye-so are full of temptation and beauty. The characters are well positioned and the camera angles are ideal, and some of the small number of action scenes in the film are shot to good effect.

Of course, there are a few irritability points in the picture, and some areas that need to be expressed in detail are not particularly satisfying, at least in the dark scenes, the detail is not satisfactory, which makes the quality of the whole film at a medium level. In terms of color, except for the imperfect treatment of black, the other places are still remarkable, the accurate color temperature setting makes the image show a clearer texture, and the color design of the clothing is full of fashion, and every time Kim Hye-so appears, it is amazing.

There aren't many big dynamic scenes in this film, so it's a thing of the past to say that there is no DTS soundtrack. Cho Seung-woo and Kim Hye-so's Korean pronunciation sounds very moving, Cho Seung-woo's lines and dialogues give people a lazy feeling, which is very in line with the character's personality, the character voice is more obvious in Korean actresses, Kim Hye-so's voice is full of magnetism and appeal, and her narration-style commentary gives a deep impression, expressing a rich and real character. The details and sound effects are also rich, such as some slight movements of the characters in the details, as well as the background sound in the distance of the picture, etc., which are well reflected. The use of music also creates a strong atmosphere for the story. ”

"If it's not the first time you've watched this type of movie, you may remember the familiar scenes in the movie, as a gambling film, most of the elements in the comic plot of "Lao Qian" are copied from old Hong Kong gambling films, and its story blueprint is nothing new for people who are used to watching Hong Kong films. But sometimes, vulgar has to be vulgar enough. In this film, director Jung Hyuk-jae cleverly focuses on Goni's desires, revealing the true face of human nature, and on the gambling table, interests come first.

On the gambling table, gambling skills are talked about, but also about psychology. ”

Part of the media's attention fell on the movie "Lao Qian", and more media are more concerned about the actors who add flesh and blood to the film, "North Korea Sports" wrote an article - "The screening of "Lao Qian" came to an end, and it successfully jumped to the first place in the 19 banned films, and the audience received rave reviews, and Kim Hye-so has incomparable credit. ”

The title is a bit long, but it sums up the main content of the article well.

More media coverage focused on Kim Hye-so, a beauty born in 1970 who is known for her sexy performances and was controversial for her bold performance in "Faceless Beauty". Interestingly, although her performance is bold, she has never had any scandals or scandals since her debut, and she is also a master's student from Sungkyunkwan University, the oldest prestigious university in Korea.

Some media said that Kim Hye-so only appeared in the **** scene once, and she played the "femme fatale" Boss Zheng. The scene of talking to Cho Seung-woo (as Gony) naked makes people sigh "It's really Kim Hye-so". Some media bluntly praised: "Among the 8.9 million viewers of "Lao Qian", the fans attracted by Kim Hye-so can be said to account for more than half, and Jung Hyuk-jae, as the director, must privately send red envelopes to Kim Hye-so" and other remarks.

There are also some media articles saying that "Lao Qian" can become the first box office film in the history of South Korea's 19 banned films, and director Jung Hyuk-jae should first thank and bow to the comic book author.

Thanks to the bow, there is actually no need, but red envelopes are still indispensable, and the total number of viewers of "Lao Qian" can surpass that of "Friends" starring Jang Dongjian, which also surprised CJ Entertainment, which was originally leaked in the master tape of the film. The number of moviegoers can exceed 3 million is enough for them to be excited, but they didn't expect this number to increase to 8.9 million, almost three times as much as expected! After all, the more people who watch the movie, the more CJ Entertainment will share as the distributor, no wonder Lee Sung-in will smile so happily when he sees Jung Hyuk-jae, his move is not wrong, and it can be regarded as investing in the right potential stock.

The only thing that makes him feel a little regret is that the two films, "The Trouble of Beauty" and "Monster of the Han River", whether they are released or invested. CJ Entertainment has not been able to intervene, for Lee Sung-in, who has read the script of "The Troubles of Beauty", he is sure at a glance that this is a pretty good comedy movie, but it was snatched up by Lotte Films. This made Li Chengren annoyed, just like the pearl he found was valued by others, and he felt particularly depressed.

As for the movie "Monster of the Han River", Li Chengren is willing to invest. And the reputation and box office of many movies that Bong Joon-ho has directed before are not bad, and logically speaking, it will definitely not be wrong to invest in this movie. But the only thing that made Li Chengren hesitate was that "Monster of the Han River" belonged to a monster movie, which made him a little unable to understand the prospect of the movie, especially the budget of this movie is not generally high, and the investment of up to 12 billion yuan is not a small amount......

………………………………………………………………

The number of viewers of "Lao Qian" reached 8.9 million, and the celebration banquet was inevitable.

After the lottery, one hundred and fifty lucky fans came to the scene of the celebration banquet and had close contact with the main creators and leading actors of the crew of "Lao Qian", and the media reporters present were aimed at the main creators and leading actors on the stage with their long guns and short cannons.

Celebration banquet in Seoul. The Lotte Hotel in Myeongdong in the center of the city was held, and the host of the celebration banquet was Yoo Jae-seok, the famous representative of Gagman, because of the special episode of "Let's Play", the audience learned about the relationship between Jung Hyuk-jae and Yoo Jae-seok, and many fans were even more excited to see Yoo Jae-seok at the scene, and it was obvious that this was still a fan of the Great God Cult.

"Thank you fans and many media people for coming to the celebration banquet of the crew of "Lao Qian", let us welcome the main creators and leading actors of "Lao Qian" to the stage with warm applause!" Liu Zaishi took the lead in applauding and welcoming with a teleprompter card in his hand, and the main creators and actors who had been waiting for a long time also appeared on the stage in the expectation of fans and media people, and they were greeted by warm applause from the audience.

"Let's welcome Jung Hyuk-jae, the writer and director of "Lao Qian", Cho Seung-woo xi, who plays Goni in the film, and Kim Hye-so, who plays Ms. Jung, ......"

With Liu's name in Shikou, the audience responded with warm applause and cheers in a timely manner, and the atmosphere of the celebration banquet came to Gao from the beginning. tide, although this is not the first time Liu Zaishi has presided over a celebration banquet, but it is rare to see such a warm atmosphere like today.

Jung Hyuk-jae took the microphone handed by Yoo Jae-seok and responded with a smile to the fans who waved at him in the audience before saying: "Today is the celebration banquet of "Lao Qian", I didn't expect it to attract so many fans to participate, and we didn't think about it before, and now the fans who are still waiting outside the hotel, I'm really sorry!" ”

Jung Hyuk-jae apologized at the beginning: "Later, I will ask the staff to go outside to count the number of fans and contact details in and out of the venue today, and after the release of the DVD of "Lao Qian", we will personally deliver the DVD of "Lao Qian" to your home." ”

"Yay!"

"Great!"

This is actually just a plan that Jung Hyuk-jae thought of after he came to power, although the cost seems to be a bit much, but it is also equivalent to a warm-up for the launch of the "Lao Qian" DVD a few months in advance, and these fans are naturally ordinary DVDs, if it is a luxury limited edition, Jung Hyuk-jae is not reluctant, but even so, the fans at the scene are still very excited, and give him applause and cheers for more than ten seconds.

After Jung Hyuk-jae finished speaking, he handed the microphone in his hand to Cho Seung-woo and Kim Hye-so on the side, and under the auspices of Yoo Jae-seok's clever words, the atmosphere of the celebration banquet has been maintained very well, and the actors on the stage talked about the interesting things encountered during the filming, and the atmosphere was very joyful. The fans at the scene listened with relish, and the media reporters couldn't stay idle, the cameras in their hands couldn't stop at all, either the main creator or the starring role, and they would not let go of any detail.

With a few sounds of "Peng", Jung Hyuk-jae, together with Cho Seung-woo and Kim Hye-so, opened the champagne in his hand, and poured the champagne into the goblet arranged in a pyramid with a smile.

In fact, not only fans, but even the media are also paying attention to a question, that is, as another phenomenal work after "The King's Man" in the first half of this year, will there be a sequel?

To this question from fans, Jung Hyuk-jae replied like this: "For the sequel to "Lao Qian", although there are no plans yet, it is very likely that a sequel will be filmed. ”

Another question that the audience is extremely concerned about is whether Jung Hyuk-jae will direct the sequel to "Lao Qian" again?

Faced with this problem, Jung Hyuk-jae said half-seriously and half-jokingly: "Because the plot of the comic is very exciting, it will be a very exciting movie to make the comic directly into a movie, but I watched too many cards when I was filming the first part, so even if I make a sequel, I will not be a director anymore." ”
