Chapter 221: The Highest-Grossing Independent Film
Although the screening process of "No Regrets" watched by Zheng Yucheng in the cinema was quite embarrassing, the repercussions caused by the movie were different.
On November 17, according to the reports given by various theaters, the number of moviegoers after the movie "Never Regrets" was only about 1,000 a day after its release, and if it was dispersed to various theaters, there were only about 50 people in each theater, which was similar to what Zheng Yucheng had seen before. For an independent film, the number of viewers is not too high, and it certainly cannot be considered too low.
After all, independent films can't be compared with those movies with big productions and big investments, and the cost of publicity that people may have invested in has exceeded the production cost of Zheng Yucheng's filming of "Never Regret". Each theater has two to three floors of occupancy, which has far exceeded the expectations of director Lee Song Hee-il and even producer Kim Cho Kwang-so.
There is no market for same-sex independent films in themselves, which is the consensus that the two had at the beginning of their decision to make films.
However, if the number of viewers of "Never Regret" on the first day can be regarded as decent, not too disappointing and not much to expect. Then from the next day, that is, the 18th Golden Week, it was a bit unexpected for everyone.
Since Saturday, I don't know if it is because of the holiday and the relationship between not too many blockbusters, or the intentional or unintentional rendering of the media some time ago, the number of moviegoers of "Never Regret" began to rise slowly and steadily, with 1,300 viewers on Saturday and 1,500 on Sunday, and the cumulative number of moviegoers in three days has actually reached about 3,000 or nearly 4,000. Although, after that, the impact of the end of the holiday on Monday has declined, but it has also maintained the record of 800 moviegoers.
In less than five days, the number of moviegoers is 5,000, which can be said to be far beyond expectations for a small-themed independent film. Even, it was estimated that it would take less than half a month for "Never Regret" to be able to recoup the cost, which surprised Kim Zhao Guangxiu, who did not report his expectations for the movie.
This year, local films have been losing money all year long, who would have thought that at the end of the year, a small-budget independent film would actually buck the trend and shock the entire Korean film industry as a dark horse.
And, while reaping the box office, the reaction to "Never Regret" on the Internet is also unprecedentedly praised, only five days after the movie was released, there have been nearly 30,000 comments on the official website, although "Never Regret" is a sensitive movie with the same theme, but unexpectedly, the praise of netizens far outweighs the controversy.
……
Zheng Yanjing is one of the many positive comments on the official website of "Never Regret", of course, in fact, before "Never Regret" helped Zheng Yucheng win the Best Newcomer Award at the Film Critics Association Awards, she actually didn't know that there was such a movie. As a variety show fan of Zheng Yucheng's OPPA, she actually always thought that OPPA was just funny in variety shows, and occasionally saw the other party's appearance in the TV series, and she also watched it with unexpected surprises, and she didn't notice that Zheng Yucheng's acting skills had been affirmed.
When the news that Zheng Yucheng won the Best Newcomer Award came out, as a fan who has always supported him, Zheng Yanjing naturally felt a sense of honor. Proud, his idol is not only great in terms of funny, but also great in acting.
In addition to being proud, Zheng Yanjing naturally noticed the movie "Never Regret", although according to the description of a few news media, "Never Regret" is a movie about the same sex, but Xu is the reason why Zheng Yucheng has played this kind of role before, coupled with the continuation of the influence caused by "The King's Man", she has no aversion to this kind of theme.
After learning that the movie was going to be released, he planned to support the idol's first movie.
Of course, as a junior high school student, Zheng Yanjing naturally couldn't go to the midnight schedule to chase the movie, so she simply had one in the few theaters that screened "Never Regret" during the Saturday day, and she bought the tickets early and walked into the cinema with half anticipation and half excitement.
Fortunately, she just turned eighteen this year, so she doesn't have to worry about not being able to support Jung Woo Sung's first OPPA movie because of her age.
Walking into the theater, the couple who immediately sat in pairs made Zheng Yanjing a little restrained, carefully found a place to sit down, and waited for the movie to start.
……
The movie runs for nearly two hours, and when the credits roll down at the end, the lights in the cinema come on. Zheng Yanjing was still immersed in the love between Jaemin and so Min, and she was in a trance early. At the beginning of the movie, the white ass made Zheng Yanjing a little shy. However, all this changed while waiting for Zheng Yucheng to appear on the big screen.
is not the familiar Zheng Yucheng OPPA in variety shows, this is Zheng Yanjing's first reaction that flashed in the mind of Zaimin who saw him smoking in the bar, and then the classic picture of the two in the movie looking at each other wordlessly in the car, especially the smile outlined at the corner of Zheng Yucheng's mouth at the end, made Zheng Yanjing suddenly forget the difference between variety shows and movies, and was attracted to the past wholeheartedly.
Because so Min was worried about rejecting Jae Min's kindness, and sad because of the misunderstanding between Jae Min and so Min, Zheng Yanjing forgot who she came to the movie theater to support, and devoted herself to the plot, worried when she saw Jae Min and so Min being pushed into the pit, and finally smiled because of the two of them looking at each other and was sincerely happy.
The movie ended, but Zheng Yanjing, who was still immersed in the plot of the movie, opened the official website of "Never Regret" as soon as she returned home.
"Today I went to the cinema to watch the movie "Never Regret" starring Jung Woo-sung OPPA, the movie was a little hard to find, it took a long time to find it in a small theater, but it was definitely worth it. In the movie, Woo Sung OPPA's acting skills are completely great, and I forgot the image in "Infinite Challenge" and "Observation Camera". ”
"Although, I don't understand the love between Jae-min and So-min, but it's still very worrying to watch, especially the misunderstanding in the back I almost cried, but fortunately, the ending was good. Finally, I wish oppa's movie a big success, but it's strange why Jung Woo Sung oppa has always played such a role, is it ......"
"No matter what, I will continue to support Zheng Yucheng's oppa, "Never Regret" FIGHTING!"
