Chapter 115: Premiere
readx;
South Korea's special national conditions, especially the small population base, are also destined that Korean movies will not be determined by the box office directly like other countries. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
On the contrary, because the country has a small population, even if it is all into the movie, there is not much box office, not to mention that it is impractical and impossible to let the entire Korean population walk into the movie and watch a movie.
In the case that the box office cannot determine the level of Korean films, the unique way of determining the number of film viewers in Korea has naturally emerged.
That's right, movies in South Korea don't look at how well the movie box office, but how many people come to watch the movie in South Korea to decide everything.
As for the fact that the box office determines the movie, it simply does not work in South Korea. No matter how high the box office is, it can't go anywhere, so Korean movies are all determined by the number of people who watch the film.
As for the income after the release of the movie, it is not like other countries, which are dominated by the box office. The main thing is still based on the box office, plus the profit income driven by the periphery.
Because of the country's small population, even the success of the movie is calculated by the number of movie viewers. This has also led to the fact that the box office of Korean films is floating clouds in terms of income, and the most important thing is the peripheral interests related to the film, such as overseas copyrights, cartoons and some movies, and small commodities with copyright surnames to decide everything.
Nowadays, among Korean films, there are only five films that have exceeded 10 million views, and they are ranked from the first place, namely: "Monster of the Han River", "The King's Man", "Taeji Flag Flying", "Haeundae" and "Sibi Island".
In the movie, when the number of viewers of a movie can exceed 10 million, it is definitely a super success of Korean local films, and it can leave a conspicuous and bright record in Korean history.
You must know that "Dragon War", which ranks sixth, has only 8.4 million viewers, which is a gap of 2 million people from "Shiwei Island" in fifth place.
Don't underestimate these two million people, if you calculate the 50 million population of South Korea, that is equivalent to a difference of one-fiftieth. One in fiftieth is definitely a moat for a country with a small population like South Korea.
In other words, in South Korea, the number of moviegoers can exceed the 10 million population mark, which is equivalent to Hollywood's global box office exceeding a billion dollars. It can be seen that the mark of 10 million viewers is definitely a watershed in the field of Korean films, a huge watershed, and an existence that is enough for Korean filmmakers and actors to look up to.
At the same time, with the upcoming premiere of "Brothers", both Koreans and the media are full of infinite expectations for the movie "Brothers". Even before the movie was released, the slogan that the number of viewers of the film must pass the 10 million mark was shouted.
It's not just because the movie "Brothers" gathers the top artists in the Korean entertainment industry, both in the music and film worlds. What's more, the director, protagonist and screenwriter of the movie "Brothers" are personally responsible for Han Quanyou.
Thinking of Han Quanyou's scenery and strong achievements in Hollywood, this also makes everyone look forward to the movie "Brothers". Even on the topic of the 10 million mark, which is usually very cautious, people naturally ignore how difficult it is for Korean local films to break through the 10 million film viewer mark, and directly called out that if the number of viewers of the movie "Brother" does not exceed 10 million, it is not a successful movie.
In the history of Korean cinema, the most watched movie is that movie, which is obviously "The Monster of the Han River". But this does not mean that "Monster of the Han River" can become the most dazzling and beautiful existence in the history of Korean cinema.
Especially the movie "Monster of the Han River" came out because Bong Joon-ho was influenced by American Hollywood science fiction movies, especially "Alien". Although the number of viewers of "Han River Monster" has become the first in Korean film history, the Korean people really don't like "Han River Monster" very much.
Even some radical fans have attacked "Han River Monster". thinks that this movie is just an American science fiction movie dressed in the skin of Koreans, and it cannot be regarded as a local Korean movie.
In this regard, it also made Bong Joon-ho, who had become the most watched in Korean history because he became a movie, was in a good mood, and even a little fluttering.
Compared with "Monster of the Han River", the people of South Korea agree more with "The King's Man", which ranks second. Because for the Korean people, "The King's Man" is the real boss of Korean local films, it is a purely oriental, Korean-style movie, and it is not influenced by European and American films in the slightest.
What's more, because "The King's Man" itself is a movie describing Korean history, coupled with the extreme nationalist psychology of Koreans, there are a few slogans of Long Live the Republic of Korea at every turn, making the movie "The King's Man" a legendary film in Korean film history.
Basically, after "The King's Man" has achieved a series of results, the movies released after that basically have to find a target and object, whether it is the people or the media, they all choose "The King's Man". Even the appearance of "Monster of the Han River" did not make people change this idea.
Now, the film "Brothers" written, starring and directed by Han Kwon-woo is finally about to be released, which is a film about the history of South Korea in the 80s, and the Korean media and fans hope that the movie "Brothers" can be a huge success and become the pride of Korean local films like the movie "The King's Man".
It is best to be the twin stars of Korean cinema with the movie "The King's Man", a historical film and a modern film, which is definitely the most perfect effect.
"Brothers" has not been officially released yet, and the media have already listed a series of achievements of "The King's Man" in detail, quietly waiting for the release of "Brothers" to see if they can surpass "The King's Man" and break various records.
Uh~~~ This record is not the box office, but the number of people watching the film!
"How's it going?" After sending Kang Di-gyu to the guest area, Han Kwon-woo returned to the crew area and found Cha Gu-sung and asked.
"I just received the news, the situation is very good, it seems that the influence of our SS company and the promotion before the release of the movie are very good. At present, more than 40 major cities in South Korea, the movie theaters where our movie "Brothers" will be released are full of fans. Looks like. Looking at this posture, maybe our movie can break the record of the movie "The King's Man". ”
Bong Joon-ho and "Monster of the Han River" are in tears, obviously we are better than "The King's Man", is it just because of science fiction, because of the influence of some Hollywood movies, you ignore us. It's unfair, when filming, I especially emphasized the oriental elements, not the Hollywood model, we demand fairness and justice, and we "Monster of the Han River" are the bosses of Korean film history.
"Brothers" has not yet been officially released, but Che Guxing is already excited. Regarding Han Quanyou's appeal, Cha Guxing has never doubted it. As the assistant director of the movie, he is naturally one of the most familiar people with "Brothers".
Although the movie "Brothers" is not a movie with high acting skills, the movie was originally not an acting route, but was intended to resonate with Korean adults in the 80s, that is, now.
And it just so happened that after watching the final version of "Brothers" in post-production, Che Guxing couldn't help but get excited. As a middle-aged person, after watching the movie "Brothers", Che Guxing returned home in a daze, and did nothing, just took out the photo album, looked at the photos of the previous study period, especially the playmates from that time, and recalled all kinds of joys and sorrows at the beginning.
It can be seen that the movie "Brothers" is indeed very resonant with people. In this regard, Che Guxing is convinced.
Therefore, for the movie "Brothers", it seems that it can break the record of "The King's Man", and Che Guxing is full of confidence. Han Kwon Woo and SS Company's huge appeal and fan army, coupled with the strong resonance effect of the power supply itself, Cha Gu Sung will not think that it is an incredible thing for "Brothers" to surpass "The King's Man".
Even if it can't surpass "The King's Man", at least the number of viewers of the film will exceed 10 million, which is still very worth looking forward to, and it is still very likely to be achieved.
Thinking of this, Che Guxing couldn't help but be completely excited, the mark of 10 million film viewers, if he really did it, he would also have a lot of face, although in this movie, he is only an assistant director, but in how a deputy, he is also a director.
"Hehe, don't rush, let's take our time, there is time, "The King's Man" is indeed a miracle of Korean local films, and it has created too many miracles. But I believe that we can do it, and we can break one miracle after another in "The King's Man"! ”
Returning to his seat, Han Kwonwoo simply calmed the somewhat nervous BIGBANG and others, and before he could say a few words in a hurry, the movie officially began to premiere.
In an instant, the entire audience hall was silent, and everyone was watching the movie quietly and carefully.
At this moment, the big screen successfully attracted everyone's attention and attention, no matter what you were doing before, but the moment the big screen lit up, all the movements and sounds stopped instantly.
As soon as the film opens, a piece of the 80s sounds, with a kind of sad and confused music, and time makes everyone fully devote their minds to the movie.
A blurry and yellowed photo made everyone even more curious, and at the same time triggered the beginning of the whole story.
Like all Korean men, Xia Zhenghong lives almost repetitively every day, getting up, washing, eating breakfast, and then reluctantly going out of the house and going to work at the behest of his wife.
Han Quanyou relied on his transcendent acting skills, although he didn't say anything, but just relying on a few close-ups of his eyes, he could make people feel that Xia Zhenghong was really tired of this kind of life, and he was reluctant to go to work.
At this moment, Xia Zhenghong's depressed and irritable mood suddenly made all the office men who watched the movie sigh. Yes, I am not like Xia Zhenghong, forcing myself to go to work every day, just because I am the head of the family and I need to support my family, although I am still reluctant, I have to face it.
Suddenly, Xia Zhenghong received a movie from his mother, and then saw a very familiar name in the hospital, and finally returned home, silently took out a photo album alone, and opened the most conspicuous first page, there was only one photo, some yellowed photos.
The seven people in the photo are smiling so carefree and smiling so happily that even the fans, at this moment, can't help but show a smile on the corner of their mouths.
Yes, who has not been young, who has not experienced and experienced the simple, carefree life when he was a student.
When I returned to the hospital again, I inquired about my mother's physical condition, but I was met with cold reception from my mother, because my mother, along with all the patients and family members in the ward, was fascinated by the TV set that was playing.
Seeing this, everyone will smile, TV is definitely a very important existence in Korean families. Basically, every Korean has watched TV dramas with their family and friends, and they forget everything as soon as they are invested.
Seeing that his mother's mind was on the TV series, Xia Zhenghong couldn't help sighing, explained, and got up to leave without his mother responding.
And the originally quiet ward, because of the plot of the TV series, suddenly caused everyone's anger, a burst of sighs and curses. This also made the entire audience burst into laughter, yes, everyone has experienced this situation, and there are many times.
Before passing by the ward with Park Ji-hoon written on it, Ha Jung-hong plucked up the courage to walk in, and finally met his good brother Park Ji-hoon, whom he hadn't seen for 20 years.
The happy mood did not last for a few minutes, and was silenced by the news that Park Ji-hoon had terminal cancer and did not have time to live for a month. At the same time, he also accepted Park Ji-hoon's last request, wanting to meet the Big Dipper brothers for the last time.
In order to meet the last request of Park Ji-hoon's life, Ha Jung-hong once again returned to the original school, and stood motionless in the crowd of students who were hurrying to the school.
Suddenly, the entire auditorium erupted in a loud burst of laughter. Because the whole picture changed suddenly, Xia Zhenghong, who was originally played by Han Quanyou, suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by Xia Zhenghong when he was a student played by Dacheng.
can be called a stupid brother with Liu Zaishi in the "Birth of a Family" program, and in terms of great achievements and appearance, he definitely belongs to the kind of person who is very stupid.
Especially wearing the kind of clothes that look old-fashioned now from the eighties, plus Daesung's appearance and Han Kwonwoo's requirements. I saw Dacheng with a dumbfounded face, stupidly carrying a schoolbag, standing at the school gate, looking at the school dumbfounded.
The whole picture was brought to life by Dacheng, although Dacheng didn't do anything and said nothing. But in terms of Dacheng's appearance, coupled with the old-fashioned clothes of the 80s, the image of an authentic country child appeared in everyone's sight and was unanimously recognized by everyone.
Everyone's laughter also made Dacheng, who was sitting behind Han Quanyou, a little embarrassed. Unbeknownst to Dentons, however, this was just the beginning. With the new records of "Brothers", Daesung has also become the most simple and countryman-like NO?1 in the Korean artist industry.
Some timid, some nervous and scared walked into the classroom, with some local accents to introduce themselves, which suddenly made the audience burst into laughter.
Not only was there burst of laughter, but as Xia Zhenghong walked into the classroom and looked at the students in the classroom, the entire studio also erupted into a burst of exclamations.
Tsk~~~ This class is awesome, typical superstar classes: Bigbang, SS501, Wondergirls, Girls' Generation, 2pm, 2am, Missa, IU, A5?dm. Even the female head teacher is Cai Yan.
All of a sudden, the stars shone brightly, and everyone suddenly burst into exclamations. It doesn't matter who you are, but at this moment, you can find the idol you worship and like like madly in this moment.
Seeing that Xia Zhenghong, played by Dacheng, was bullied by Jin Zhizhong, played by Quan Zhilong, Xia Zhenghong was afraid of being honest, and once again made everyone look forward to it, looking forward to Xia Zhenghong's counterattack.
It's a pity that Xia Zhenghong didn't have the guts, but at this time, Park Ji-hoon, played by TOP, suddenly appeared and drove away Kim Ji-chung with a cold face, which won the screams of female fans.
In Han Quanyou's special request, the top in the movie is simply extremely cool, with a domineering face, an unruly face, and at the same time, he is uneven, and he helps Xia Zhenghong, who has just transferred to another school, and suddenly became the focus of female fans.
And after the class bell ended, everyone suddenly discovered that the person who had been sleeping beside Xia Zhenghong turned out to be a member of the SuperJunior group prodigy.
When he was forcibly pulled closer to the cafeteria by Park Ji-hoon to eat, chatting about the trend, Xia Zhenghong from the countryside once again felt inferior. And Lim Hexian, played by Shengli, suddenly appeared, saying that he was bullied by his seniors, as soon as he heard the news, Park Jixun suddenly became angry, forcibly pulled Xia Zhenghong, and said domineeringly: "Go, find them!" ”
Xia Zhenghong was scared and dragged by Park Ji-hoon and others to the garbage dump behind the school, and met the seniors who bullied Lim Hyuk-heon (2pm Seven, Khan!). The two sides disagreed a few times, and a fight began.
Perhaps because he was too scared, Xia Zhenghong finally broke out, and even beat down the boss Yu Ze at 2pm. When his whole body was stiff and he lost the ability to think, he was taken away by Park Ji-hoon by the hand to avoid the discovery of the school teachers.
And it was also from this moment that Xia Zhenghong really entered the circle of the Big Dipper, and finally became a member of the Big Dipper.
Subsequently, Xia Zhenghong completely integrated into the circle of the Big Dipper and began a crazy and happy campus life. And in this crazy and happy campus life with a hint of simplicity, Xia Zhenghong's relationship with the Big Dipper Six is getting better and better, and the friendship is getting deeper and deeper.
