Chapter 280: Movie Premiere (Subscription Requested)
In September, just before the official premiere, "My Father" took the lead in holding a test screening in a small area at the Seoul Theater, mainly inviting major Korean media, film critics, and a few lucky fans of Lin Youyang's "Sapphire".
Lin Youmian still has a show itinerary, since the filming of "The War of Money", until now, he has not been to the show much, and now his popularity continues to explode, coupled with the identity of a professional model, the faxes invited by the organizers of those shows are almost soft, and the appearance fee is also going all the way, almost not inferior to the top models!
So at this small test screening, Lin Youming just showed his face at the beginning, took a photo with some fans, and then left in a hurry.
The movie has not yet been officially released, including the media, critics and even fans, who can only describe it in general terms without spoilers, and according to the preliminary understanding, the general impression is that it is "warm and emotional but slightly procrastinating".
Even some picky film critics still recognize this movie that Lin Youyang is involved in for the first time, and the procrastination of the movie is a common problem in Korean warm movies, not an isolated case, mainly a screenwriter's problem, which has nothing to do with the actors.
As pointed out by the special reporter of the entertainment column of South Korea's "Dong-A Ilbo", in terms of acting skills, whether it is Lin Youyang or Kim Yong-chul, in a limited time and limited funds, they have shown everything they can perform!
The acting skills of the leading actor are only part of the movie after all, not the whole thing. The mastery of the director, the excitement of the script, the timing of the release, and the degree of publicity. Indispensable!
The current Lin Youming. It's not to the point that just with his acting skills, he can be so magical that he can hold up a movie!
In "My Father", this reporter gave Lin Youmin a score of 7.8, and Kim Yong-chul scored 8.3, but the overall evaluation of the whole movie was only 6.8 points, which can be seen!
Among the more than 50 media outlets that participated in the preview screening, the average score was around 7. The satisfaction rate is 60%, as far as the professional level is concerned, the picture is delicate, the main performance is brilliant, the director is qualified, and the screenwriter is weak, which completely summarizes the characteristics of this movie!
To a certain extent, the recognition of professionals is also reflected in whether the audience buys or not, from now on, "My Father", which has begun to be pre-sold, has gone all the way, with a ticket pre-sale rate of 25.8%, beating the Hollywood imported movie "Rear Window Horror" and ranking first on the pre-sale list!
Pre-sale. As the name suggests, the movie has not yet opened. Without too many film reviews, only based on the initial publicity and trailer, coupled with the popularity of the director or starring actor, and the most direct reaction of the audience at the box office!
What is the pre-sale rate of a movie, you can basically see from the side whether it can make a difference at the box office!
Although the pre-sale rate of 25.8% of "My Father" is not worth mentioning or even inconspicuous compared to the 70% of those Korean local blockbusters or Hollywood blockbusters, the 80% pre-sale rate is not worth mentioning, or even inconspicuous, but you must know that this is a film that is essentially a literary film, and the production and publicity cost of 3 billion won may only be equivalent to a fraction of other big productions!
According to this pre-sale rate, no matter how much you earn, at least you won't lose money, you know, Lin Youming's salary still hasn't been paid! You also have to see how the box office of the movie is, and finally you can get your own share of the salary!
Afternoon, September 4th.
This day was the last special premiere of the film before its release, and it was the most solemn part of the film, and the premiere of "My Father" was held in the Melon-AX Hall.
It is worth mentioning that most of the funds for this event, according to Lin Suzhen, are funded by Jiang Minjing's support, although he went to CCM as a trainee and could not continue to manage the club, but Jiang Minjing would not be less than any support.
In terms of the embodiment of the actor's connections, Kim Yong-chul mainly invited friends of his generation, most of whom are old-timers who don't appear much in the entertainment industry now, which does not help much to attract the attention of the film.
Fortunately, Lin Youming's face is indeed not small, like Han Yise, who once worked with Lin Youming for the first time in a TV series, she has been busy with her own movies recently, but she still finds time to come over to support Lin Youming, and Song Chengxian, who met at a party and has also cooperated in CASS.
As for friends, such as Girls' Generation, Park Hyo-min, and Li Juli didn't come over for various reasons, and the only one who was interested in running over was Quan Baolan, but as soon as she came to the scene, she didn't know where to hide, she didn't need Lin Youmian to take care of her, and Lin Youmian was relieved enough. Others, who have a better relationship, such as Son Ye-jin, Kong Hyun-joo, SJ, Lee Min Ho, and Lee Jong Suk, all came over to cheer them on.
What makes Lin Youmian feel a little dull is that SJ is here, but Girls' Generation is absent, and it is not surprising that there are idols to cheer at the movie premiere, although Little's explanation is that there is just a TV station's group variety show to participate, but Lin Youmian doesn't believe it very much. This little depression was quickly left behind by Lin Youmiao, because another important guest came......
What is indispensable is that Lee Joon-gi's relationship with Lin You-myong can be called the most iron-clad friend, to Lim Woo-min's surprise, Lee Joon-gi not only came in person, but also brought a big man!
Ann Shengji!
Ahn Seung-gi, who is known as "Korean's favorite national actor"!
How big a card does he have?
Executive member of several artist organizations in Korea, representatives of several film organizations, including the vice chairman of the executive committee of the Busan International Film Festival......
In terms of personal honors, six Baeksang Art Awards for Best Actor, three Big Bell Award for Best Actor, and one Blue Dragon Award for Best Actor, these titles can scare people to death when stacked, just An Shengji has been acting since his debut as a child star, and the trophies he has won can fill a room of honor.
In South Korea, there are so-called recognized three carriages in the entertainment industry - Song Kang-ho, Xue Kyung-gu, and Choi Min-sik.
is known as the cornerstone of Korean films, but Ahn Seung-gi's status has to hold them down steadily, and its influence can be seen!
"Gorgeous Holiday", starring Ahn Sung-gi and Lee Joon-gi, which was released at the end of July, swept the entire Korean box office list in August, and competed with the sci-fi blockbuster "D-WAR", and so far, it has saved more than 6.5 million viewers!
In South Korea, the box office of a movie is not calculated by money figures, but by the number of people who watched the movie, which may be unique in the world film industry!
However, "Gorgeous Holiday" is still in full swing, refreshing its own box office record, strictly speaking, they are now the most direct competitors! (To be continued......)
