Chapter 469: Box Office Competition

Because Jin Zhiyun was not until the filming was completed, there were still some worries about Lin Youming's acting skills, after all, he was too young, and later with the attitude of trying it out, he added this side line, but he didn't expect it to be an unexpected fit.

If you want to add a certain plot component to a commercial film, you must make the audience look adaptable, and this scene makes Lin Youming's bounty hunter character more three-dimensional and vivid.

However, there are also some critics who have high expectations or demand for the film and expressed great disappointment with this big production, pointing out that the characters in the movie are vague, the story is not convincing, and the second half of the pursuit is too long and boring.

It's just that the words of the media really can't be taken seriously and taken to heart, otherwise you will definitely be more entangled than the media, and the media is always afraid of chaos, such as always speculating about the harmony of the crew of "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys", because at the Cannes Film Festival, Lin Youmin did not act with Lee Byung-hun and them, so it is inevitable that there will be some voices saying that he was ostracized by the other two bigwigs.

When Lin Youyang saw the news, he just smiled and didn't take it to heart, his relationship with Lee Byung-hun and Song Kang-ho was not only not ordinary, but quite good, the two seniors took care of him like a nephew, and they also taught him a lot in the process of filming.

No matter how the outside media tries to capture the wind and movement in the crew, Song Kang-ho, Lee Byung-hun and Lim Woo-hyun always appear in a harmonious attitude in the process of promoting this movie, just to not give the media a chance to speculate.

Earlier, they even took the initiative to reduce the remuneration together and turned to investment to help the producers tide over the difficulties. Lin Youmeng agreed directly without thinking about it. This is undoubtedly a trust in Lee Byung-hun and Song Kang-ho.

If the film is a big hit. Lin Youmian and they can still enjoy the benefits, and they are not really at a loss, but once such a big production fails at the box office, it is destined to be in vain, because only after the cost recovery is determined, the dividend of the three leading actors will be considered.

Some people may ask, "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys" has so much input and such a strong cast. How could the box office not work!

But the truth is that it would be an absolute lie to say that the high production cost and the escort of three powerful actors with complementary styles can cover up the above shortcomings, because this film is a Western that has never been shot in South Korea.

Kim Ji-woon's takeover of the western seems to be a gamble to some extent, and the gamblers behind it are South Korean film investors and multi-party production companies.

Today's Westerns are more artistic, and they are willing to participate in competitions and win awards, but "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys" bears the heavy pressure of the commercial box office, and it can even be said that if it is not successful, it will become a benevolent. Once the film fails, South Korea will not easily play the idea of Westerns in the future. The pressure is palpable.

So how is the box office of "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys"?

At the time of the release of "The Most Wonderful Moment of My Life", Lin Youyang faintly understood what kind of motherland feelings pure Koreans have, anyway, it is not something that he can compare with half an American, and this time, "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Strange Guys", as the most anticipated movie in South Korea in 2008, let Lin Youyang see the madness of this patriotic feeling.

Most of the people of South Korea are very patriotic, and they have a very strong national consciousness for their motherland, and under all kinds of bombardment by the media, the release of "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Strange Guys" reached the ears of all Koreans as quickly as possible.

Many South Koreans don't care whether "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys" is good or not, for many people, as long as it can impress other foreigners in the world, it proves that South Korea can also make commercial blockbusters and has enough movie consumption power, which is enough.

In the case that you can't find a good movie to support the local film industry, how long has the people been holding back this energy? Just look at the unreasonable and expected box office of "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys".

Just four days after its release on July 17, the number of viewers of "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys" has surpassed the 2 million audience mark with an unstoppable momentum, which is an extremely incredible speed.

After the release of "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys", a total of 954 screens across Korea were launched, and the pre-sale rate exceeded 80%, setting a record for sales.

In the three days of the first weekend of its release, it attracted 1.67 million viewers, and the 1.01 million viewers of the remaining nine films on the box office list for the same period were far lower than the box office figures of "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys", which is a jaw-dropping statistic.

Although I know that the media publicity of "Good Guys, Bad Guys, and Weird Guys", coupled with the strong appeal of the three leading actors, the most suitable time for the summer file, and the top ten production casts known as the top ten in Korean historical investment, occupy the absolute right time and place, but no one would have thought that it would be crazy to such an extent.

In the first week of release, "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys" with a terrifying and crazy market share of 67% has accumulated 2.35 million viewers, that is to say, two out of every three people who went to the cinema this week chose to watch "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys".

Movies such as "Red Cliff" and "The Adventures of Doraemon" have been defeated. Smith and Charlize. Theron, the Oscar-winning actress, co-starred in the Hollywood movie "Superman for All", which also fell directly.

Everyone exclaimed, their eyes firmly sucked on the box office list of the movie that could not have gone wrong - in fact, when this data came out, many people wondered if the Film Promotion Committee had made a mistake in the data.

The last movie with such a crazy box office was "The King's Man" three years ago, but the situation is different, "The King's Man" was really too sensitive at the beginning, mainly relying on the strong word-of-mouth in the later stage and the hype of the president's movie-watching, as well as the long-term release, which pulled up the box office.

At the beginning of the release, even "The King's Man", in terms of the results of the first week, was far behind by the results of "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys" in the same period.

After confirming that it was correct, the praise that it deserved was overwhelming, and as a Korean, it was supposed to sing the praises of Korean movies, shouldn't it?

Compared to the sensitive same-sex of "The King's Man". Love theme, Korean film critics are not as open as Hollywood, and it is indeed a bit awkward and reserved to boast, and it is impossible to make a big show, but "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys" does not have the shackles of this theme.

This film proves that South Korea can also make big-budget commercial films, and it can't be overstated.

Among them, Jin Zhiyun, as the director, was the first to be praised on the altar, what kind of shooting techniques, boldly use newcomers - Lin Youyang, well, in the eyes of some film critics, before the release of "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys", Lin Youyun was just a quasi-newcomer, after all, his fame is not equal to Lee Byung-hun and Song Kang-ho.

Jin Zhiyun relieved to hand over the future of the box office to the shoulders of the three gentlemen, and the female elements simply disappeared, so Ye Ji Won's poor emotional scenes were also deleted.

As an entertainment film, hot action scenes are indispensable, and humorous elements are everywhere, but just like most blockbusters, the thin plot of this film has also become the bull's-eye of public opinion, but this doesn't matter, which commercial blockbuster is a popular word-of-mouth? It's almost all on Rotten Tomatoes, and there are still people cheering on it.

Most commercial movies will have one or another flaw without exception, but for such a movie, high box office is the last word, and it's no problem to find faults, anyway, the premise is that you have paid to watch it.

In fact, "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys" can achieve such a strong box office, and it is not all because of the above reasons, because the release date of "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys" is very delicate, and it just avoids its biggest competitor - "Batman"! (To be continued......)
