Chapter 440: Celebration Banquet
Although many fans of Lee Jun-hee and Park Bo-young have been expressing their expectations, in fact, when this mediocre movie was announced, it was not favored by the audience and various film critics. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
If there is a bright spot, that is, a clue used in this play, it is actually a celebrity scandal, a common celebrity scandal, is nothing more than a celebrity artist's splitting legs and stealing fish, the star artist with a halo has always been the focus of public attention, as soon as there is a wind and grass, the city is full of wind and rain, obviously the celebrity scandal is packaged in comedy, it can indeed be regarded as a sword walking winger, but how to get rid of gossip and vulgarity, make a good level, and make the audience pay for it is difficult.
In "Speeding Scandal", a living mature woman suddenly fell from the sky, with a quirky big-headed ghost, and Nam Hyun-so, as the male protagonist, can only be in a state of innocence and insolvency. He tried his best to cover up the facts and prevent the scandal from appearing, but the result was that the paper could not contain the fire.
The movie began to change its tone in the second half of the movie, bringing a small emotional touch to the audience, but most of the more praise was focused on the continuous jokes, especially Nam Hyun-so and grandson Hwang Ki-dong started the competition from a pair.
This list of eyelid imps has fluffy curly hair, looks very capable, and often shows an innocent and evil smile, which makes Nam Hyun-so crazy, and the childlike expression changes and well-crafted character modeling of the little actor Wang Xixuan in the play have become a highlight of the film.
Wang Seok-hyun, the new national sister Park Bo-young, and the national idol Lee Jun-hee, such a funny trio stirred up the old theme, and actually burst out with unimaginable huge energy, in early 2010, this blockbuster was piled up, blocking Hollywood blockbusters alone, and breaking out of the sky, so that Lotte Cinemas, which was not optimistic about this movie, had to try their best to keep the number of screens of "Speed Scandal", such an opportunity is completely once in a decade.
"Speed Scandal" was a success, and within a week of its release, the theater attendance rate rose from 80% at the beginning to 100% the next day, and has remained high since then, and even audiences queued up at the entrance of many movie theaters, waiting to watch the movie.
This made those who were still waiting to see Lee Jun-hee's jokes obediently close their mouths one by one, and then hit the keyboard and sent one after another movie reviews with wonderful wording and sycophancy.
The reason why "Speed Scandal" can be successful is that Lee Junxi, as the director, actually adopted a very clever way, first of all, the choice of theme.
The private life of a star!
I have to admit that the society in which people live today has evolved to such a face, which celebrity is divorced today, and which celebrity can't think of tomorrow.
The gossip media captures the every move of idol celebrities, and a large number of revelations act as a talking point for the secular public, "Speeding Scandal" quotes the familiar daily setting, the outdated star Nam Hyun-so usually hosts the radio, and his life is quite nourishing, and one day when he opens the door, he suddenly loses an illegitimate daughter and a grandson in his life, and he himself is only in his early thirties.
This setting sounds very attractive, and it seems that the imagination of girls' generation and the boring vulgar tabloids have all seen similar story models.
It is said that the suicide rate of Korean artists is extremely high, there are constant scandals, and the lethality of scandals is also extremely high.
The subject matter is very exciting, but the narrative of the whole movie is very compact, and it is a little relaxed, what Lee Junxi wants to tell people is that "Speed Scandal" is a comedy, and I really want to expect it to provide what kind of artist self-cultivation, life warnings and other truths, then there is no need, on the contrary, girls must not be hot-headed, go and learn to live.
The first half of the film is quite spoofed, Nam Hyun-so is still complimenting the "unscrupulous paparazzi king", but at the same time, he is talking enthusiastically with the beautiful host in the car. Go home and prepare, red wine and delicious food and bath set, everything is ready, only the beauty is owed.
Thinking back to his performance outside the show before, the ridicule of the family search hotline, and the fact that he pushed the child away when filming the advertisement, and watched him slide to open the door beautifully, it was really a bit underwhelming.
After opening the door, he received a terrible punishment, and suddenly fell from heaven to hell, and the daughter who came to the door was the girl who called the hotline to find relatives, Nam Hyun-so suffered a big dumb loss, and he vigorously denied the fact that he was a father and became a grandfather.
The little grandson is a cute child, both obedient and polite, good card skills, nirvana is "rotten laughter", and there are hidden skills, which need to be triggered by the prop piano, of course, he also inherited his grandfather's "speed" gene, such as staring at the little girl in the kindergarten to do obsessive saliva, grandparents and grandchildren all the way, and then act as a little spy and microphone, he is between his grandfather and the principal, showing excellent comedy talent.
Nam Hyun-so's daughter became an unmarried teenage mother early, but she is by no means the type of a mixed sister, on the contrary, she is sensible to a certain extent and hard-working. Probably received a good family education and has a good nature, so he has never exposed his father's privacy, that is, Nam Hyun-so's speeding thing. One of her big hobbies is singing, and there are many songs and performances in the film, which are similar to the success of "The Ugly Girl", in other words, the popular music has also become a major box office factor.
Before the arrival of his daughter and grandson, Nam Hyun-so's home was like a greenhouse container, equipped with voice-activated smart devices, clean and bright, and worry-free about food and clothing. He is affectionate on the radio, and he looks infinitely concerned about the world, but in private it can be learned that he is an emotionally cold guy, who does not know how to really care about people, let alone be competent for a qualified role in a family.
In fact, his life is empty and dense, but he doesn't know anything, and in the opening part, the introduction of Nam Hyun-so is handled very cleverly, living in a high-rise building, having everything, and not living for anything.
When Nam Hyun-so suddenly had a real home, he felt at a loss and tried his best to escape, and then slowly got used to it, enjoying the warm affection brought by the family, the key to maintaining this degree is still the scandal, when the privacy was not exposed by reporters, Nam Hyun-so was content with the life in front of him, and he didn't think about taking any action, but once his interests were touched, conflicts would inevitably occur.
In the whole movie, Lee Jun-hee did not throw out any tear gas, and when people watched the movie, they were completely laughing, full of experience of the warm atmosphere created by the film itself, and enjoyed and moved unconsciously.
Four weeks after the movie was released, the number of moviegoers successfully exceeded 10 million, and "Speed Scandal" also became the sixth movie starring Lee Junxi to reach 10 million viewers, if the original "To Our Dying Youth" made Lee Junxi one of the first-line male stars in South Korea, "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" made him the strongest new director in South Korea, "Uncle" made him complete the transformation from an idol actor to a real acting school, then this "Speed Scandal" made him truly top the throne of South Korea's No. 1 actor.
If you want to compare, "Speed Scandal" is obviously not likely to exceed the historical record of 19 million viewers of "Uncle", and his performance in the play does not have the depth of "Uncle", and it is not even as good as the first work "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" directed by him!
However, in the Korean film and television industry, if an actor appears in six movies, the number of viewers of the six movies can exceed 10 million.
Even popular actors such as Lee Byung-hun , Jang Dong-jian , and Choi Min-sik have all starred in movies and suffered Waterloo at the box office, but Lee Jun-hee has never missed until now.
Now that Lee Jun-hee is the number one actor in the Korean film and television industry, even the most demanding person has no way to raise objections.
Maybe Lee Jun-hee has not won many awards, but in the Korean film and television industry, which actor has been recognized by the two major award ceremonies of Blue Dragon and Daejong at the same time, and was awarded the best actor?
The answer is, only Lee Jun-hee!
Lee Jun-hee didn't take the media praise to heart, all he paid attention to was the box office of the movie itself, and on the day of the movie's release for a month, NRG directly chartered the entire banquet hall at the Korea Hotel to hold a celebration banquet.
The number of moviegoers exceeded 10 million, such an achievement, after "Uncle", only last year's "Haeundae" has been reached, but comparing the investment of the two films, "Speed Scandal" can't even reach one-fifth of the investment in "Haeundae", looking at the current momentum, it is only a matter of time before it exceeds the 11 million viewers of "Haeundae".
Like the premiere that day, on the day of the celebration banquet, many friends in the circle also came to cheer and congratulate, but to Lee Junxi's disappointment, Han Xiaozhu still didn't come!
Originally, the relationship between the two had eased somewhat, and Lee Jun-hee was also ready to go home to live, but just in time for the release of "Speeding Scandal", as Lee Jun-hee's wife, Han Hyo-joo should appear anyway.
But~~~~~
After the premiere that day, Lee Jun-hee returned home, and the two quarreled inexplicably, and as a result, Lee Jun-hee returned to the dormitory again, and has not returned to this day.
“oppa! It's time for us to get in! ”
Lee Jun-hee looked at the time, knowing that Han Hyo-joo was afraid that he would not come, sighed slightly, smiled at Park Bo-young, and the two walked into the elevator side by side, and went up to the third floor, where the banquet hall was held. (To be continued.) )
