After all, there are too many unfavorable factors for this movie, including the theme of the mortuary, the Korean starring, and the small and medium-sized cost...... Although no one has much expectation of profit, it should be said that the cost should be recovered, right?

"The Undertaker" has a lot of contests, including the Yokohama Film Festival in Japan, the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards in China, and the Xiangjiang Film Awards.

Founded in 1977 and held in late August in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, the Montreal International Film Festival aims to encourage cultural diversity and mutual understanding among peoples, to stimulate the promotion of filmmaking on all continents to nurture quality films, to promote filmmakers and new creations, to discover and encourage new talent, and to promote the exchange of film professionals from all over the world.

The Montreal International Film Festival is one of the five major film festivals in the world, and the only competitive film festival in North America recognized by the International Federation of Film Producers, and an international A-category film festival.

Although it is not as good as Cannes, Venice and Berlin, the three most authoritative European film festivals, its professionalism and attention cannot be underestimated, and it is also at the forefront of many world film festivals.

And when Lin Youyang knew the news, in fact, Yojiro Takida had already gone to Canada with the movie, accompanied by Kim Tae-hee as the heroine.

When preparing for this film, her character was actually just a friend of the male protagonist's wife. Later, in order to increase her role. It was directly changed to a wife. For this reason, Koyama Kaoru even revised the script at great length.

Lin You's doppelganger lacks skills, Kim Tae-hee naturally can't be absent anymore, originally Takida Yojiro just planned to try his luck and see if he could get some attention through the film festival, but unexpectedly, maybe Kim Tae-hee really brought good luck.

"The Undertaker" won the top award at the film festival: the Grand Prix of the Americas! Also known as the Grand Jury Prize, it is voted for by several famous directors who serve as judges on the jury, and its influence and authority can be imagined.

This frightened Lin Youmian a lot. He never imagined that he would suddenly give people such a surprise, not only related to them, but also the Japanese and Korean media.

Needless to say, Japan is a Japanese movie, after all, this is a Japanese movie, and on the Korean side, it is because the two leading actors are Koreans, which seems to be a thing worth mentioning for the Korean entertainment industry, which has received less recognition in the international film industry.

Not to mention the reactions caused by both sides, in fact, Lin Youyang has no time to take care of it. Anyway, "The Undertaker" hasn't been released yet, so let Yojiro Takida and Kim Tae-hee do the rest of the work.

His current main task is "Mischievous Kiss". Faced with the strong competition of the two well-received TV series "The Painter of the Wind" and "Beethoven Virus", although Lin You didn't say anything, the pressure in his heart can be imagined, he doesn't like his works to be suppressed too badly.

Although it is an idol drama, and it is working with a large number of newcomers, Lin Youmin will not admit defeat easily, fortunately, the benefits of the news of the award of "The Undertaker" are still obvious, with this news, "Mischievous Kiss" has improved a little in the ratings of the new episode with Lin Youmin's attention, and it has overwhelmed "The Painter of the Wind", but it is only slightly behind Kim Myung-min's "Beethoven Virus".

On the other hand, "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys" also went down smoothly, and the final number of viewers stayed at 8.53 million, which is already an extremely good result, even if the profit is not much, but the top ten results in the history of Korean films alone are enough to be proud of.

Fortunately, I didn't make much money, at least I won't lose money, and the cost that Lin Youming gave to Li Bingxian to participate in the investment completely out of righteousness can be regarded as recovering some, and even after some of the overseas copyright income arrives, there will be a slight surplus.

What's more, the benefits of Lin Youming's starring in "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys" are not only limited to monetary income, his biggest gain is the momentum in the entertainment industry, because of the big investment of Lee Byung-hun and Song Kang-ho, Lin Youming's influence has expanded a lot, and he has quickly gained a foothold in the film industry.

Lin Youming's surprise is far from over.

Although "The Undertaker" is a very pure Japanese film because the two leading actors are Koreans, both the filmmaker and the media always treat this movie in a deliberately suppressed low-key.

But the quality of a movie is not something that can be judged because of such external factors, and a good movie will never be buried, let alone a movie like "The Undertaker".

Even though many Japanese film critics and film critics have not praised this movie too much, but in private, the reputation of this movie has already exploded, and some film critics and writers cannot comment on it openly, but this does not prevent them from viewing this movie as an individual, a fan.

As an anonymous professional film critic commented on the Japanese popular film review website: "The plot and structure of "The Undertaker" may be simple, the theme may be simple, the soundtrack may be simple, and even the starring role is Korean; However, the film's lens design is unique, the editing and conception are exquisite, Hisaishi's soundtrack is delicate and profound, and the life philosophy discussed in the film is deep and optimistic. It can be said that I like this film not only because of the soundtrack of Jean Hisaishi, but also because it explores the meaning of life, the value of life, and the philosophy of life and death. In a word, I love this movie, even if it's all shots of that handsome Korean. ”

"It is worth mentioning the music of the film, although Daigo in the movie is a failed cellist, but the music of the film is an absolute masterpiece, the sound of the heavy cello instantly touches the softest part of your heart, which belongs to the sorrow of a man, and takes you back to boundless memories. When you see the great realization of the laqin on the embankment by the river, when you see the great realization of experiencing death so closely, you may know what it means to understand life thoroughly. ”

Compared with the low-key of many professional media, on the film review network, "The Undertaker" is almost all praised, up to now, in the collection of tens of thousands of viewers' film review ratings, the praise rate of "The Undertaker" has reached an astonishing 90.5%, and the star rating of the film is also as high as 4.5 stars, which is definitely not inferior to any popular high-reputation Japanese movie, and even surpasses it.

This is directly reflected in the box office, that is, the stability of "The Undertaker" - although it has never won the first place in the weekly box office, and has not even entered the top three, it has always maintained the fifth to tenth positions, which is not a significant decline in the weekly box office of other films, and the box office of "The Undertaker" has maintained an astonishing degree of stability.

And the comments and comments of those viewers on the Internet also made many media eyes shine, most of these comments did not say how good Lin Youming's acting skills were, but almost all of them mentioned an element - Hisaishi's film soundtrack.

That's right! It's not appropriate to praise the whole movie, but with Hisaishi's status in the rivers and lakes, it can't be exaggerated, and there is no shying away from it at all, not to mention that as far as the soundtrack itself is concerned, it is already at the palace level, and it is completely worthy of praise.

As a result, the Japanese entertainment media seems to have found a bug in a certain game, and their eyes are shining, and they focus all their evaluation firepower on Hisaishi's soundtrack, anyway, this is also a disguised praise for "The Undertaker".

And South Korea, at this time, seems to have noticed the seemingly ordinary and extraordinary movie "The Undertaker", because of the starring role of Lim Woo-myong and Kim Tae-hee, as well as its great achievements, as well as the potential that has not yet been fully revealed, Korean media people invariably reprinted articles from several major Japanese film websites and began to praise this movie.
