Chapter 183: Shocking Twist

"Spider-Man" is still under intense filming, "The Da Vinci Code" has also entered the preparatory stage, and the movie "Friends" has begun his hurricane that has shocked the Korean entertainment industry and even the whole of South Korea.

Perhaps, the pre-sale of more than 15o moviegoers in a week has already made many people have a premonition, but when "Friends" was actually released, it still shocked many people.

The first week has passed, plus the pre-sale box office, the total box office has exceeded 4.3 million viewers, although this result is still a very big gap compared with those tens of millions of movies more than ten years later, especially Ming Liang, but at this time, it is a number that makes everyone stupid.

Nearly 70% of the screens in nearly 300 theaters in South Korea are showing the film, and they have unsurprisingly paid off, the box office of "Friends" fell by only 30% compared to the first week in the second week, and once again won 3.16 million people at the box office.

In just two weeks, "Friends" has received more than 7.46 million moviegoers at the box office, which has easily broken the record of 660,000 moviegoers of "Life and Death" and has become the highest-grossing film in Korean film history.

Of course, everyone knows that this is not the end, and when the box office is high, the media briefing no longer requires Imperial Entertainment to do much work, so it is reported wildly.

"A Miracle in the History of Korean Cinema" was the headline on the front page of Chosun Ilbo, not the entertainment and sports section. The article reads: "Just like Dr. Li and Director Guo said in an interview, this movie was a crazy move from the beginning, and then. This madness has continued to this day and will continue to go on.

In two weeks, nearly 8 million moviegoers, this is undoubtedly a miracle, such is another miracle created by Dr. Lee Chung-hee, and this thing looks a lot more dull to him. It's like we're all thinking, it's actually normal. Because this is Dr. Lee's work.

However, eight million in two weeks, this number is still terrifying, and there are even two weeks. People all over Korea went to the cinema to watch this movie, so what is the charm of this movie that attracts the audience?

Of course, let's not talk about the promotional measures of Imperial Entertainment here, it is said that it is a very large number, and it can easily make one or two movies, and we will now talk about the content of the movie.

Koreans' own "Once Upon a Time in America", this is what Dr. Lee Chung-hee and director Kwak Kyung-taek said in some interviews, but. Dr. Lee also said that he felt that "Once Upon a Time in America" was too slow and too pretentious. That's why he asked Director Guo to make this historical film of the Koreans themselves.

Perhaps, it is just because of feelings, but it is precisely because of feelings that this film is so pure. Perfect and amazing, the theme of the movie is friendship though. But interspersed with the customs and customs in the historical changes, and the entanglement of love, it has actually become a humanistic and artistic film of national exhibition changes.

Gangs are just carriers, and the social changes behind them are what the movie wants to express, some people say that this film is a gang film, which is really a slander against the film, and there is no doubt that it also reflects the cultural clumsiness of those who think so.

Just like Dr. Lee Chung-hee said, this film is a bashing of gangs, what a precious friendship, if Zhang Dongjian and Liu Wuxing and other four people are in another environment, I believe that their friendship will shine brightly, not the final cannibalism.

Or, at the beginning, Liu Wuxing's words and attitude show this, he hates gangs, he hates his father, he just wants to be a good student, a good husband, and have an ordinary family, but this qiē is ruined by his gang's father.......

"Chosun Ilbo" has made headlines on the front page, and other newspapers and magazines are naturally vulgar, after all, this is a major event for Korean films, and this can even be said to be a major event for Korean films against Hollywood films.

This made people in the Korean film industry begin to have confidence and are willing to spend money to make movies, which has an impact on Korean films to accelerate the development of Korean films from now on.

Just like Wen Jiying, director of Xijie Entertainment, said in an interview, "To be honest, although we felt that with Dr. Li's talent, the movie "Friend" would definitely not be wrong, but we didn't expect such good results, which also let us see the prospect of local films......." ”

He is naturally not easy to say now, in fact, he was not optimistic about it at all before, otherwise Xijie would not have directly ignored the exercise of power in this movie, and now, not only them, but also Lotte and Xiubao are all repentant.

After all, at that time, the three of them had the opportunity to win it, and it was taken as an additive, but they all refused, because of this matter, at the recent board meeting, the shareholders behind them slapped the table and scolded their mothers, saying that they were a group of rice buckets.

What else can I say, pinching my nose and admitting it, of course, they naturally won't do nothing, almost just after the third day of the first week, Xijie and other big labels blocked outside the office of the representative of the Imperial Film Company Gao Zuodong, and they were going to die or live.

Because what, it's because Imperial Film Company still has two films in its hands that have not entered the production schedule, "Big Guy Fighting Monk" and "Killer Company", both of which are basically gang films.

That is to say, they have a little bit of a relationship with "Friends", a film is a big hit, and the same genre will keep up with it is the basic rule of the film industry, no matter what other people say about what kind of film "Friends" is, in short, in the eyes of ordinary people, this film is basically the life of a gang, so they have to win one of the remaining two films of the Imperial Film Company.

Gao Zuodong finally tasted the taste of being high at this time, these days, when he saw the box office of "Friends" rushing up like a rocket, he had to admit that his boss, that young guy, was really a peerless genius who couldn't be guessed.

A gang film that no one is optimistic about, he also spent 1.5 billion yuan on publicity, if he hadn't been able to oppose it at that time, Gao Zuodong almost hit his head on the wall, even if he was rich, he didn't have such a loser.

Thinking about it now, his face is burning hot, but this is not just him who thinks so, too many people think so, including Guo Jingze and Zhang Dongjian and others.

"It's like what I said in an interview before, I just thought the script was good, and then I liked it, so I went crazy with Dr. Li, but I never thought that the box office would be so good, and even, I thought about it, if I lose money, my director's salary will be counted, and it should be an acquaintance!" Guo Jingze said.

And Zhang Dongjian also said to reporters with great emotion, "When Dr. Li and I were having dinner, I said with a smile that this movie would definitely be a big hit, but I and the director didn't think it was anyone."

I never thought that I would get so much attention because of this movie, in the past, people would just say that I was a TV drama actor, an artist who ate with his face, but this time, everyone will say that I am a good movie actor, and everyone will say that my acting skills are great or something.

It's a miracle, but we also say privately that it's Dr. Lee's work, so it's not surprising...... Haha, yes, he hasn't been in the crew much, but this is the script he wrote, he has good communication and tacit understanding with the director, I think he just has that kind of charm, no need to stay there all the time, ....... ”

"Friends" was a big hit at the box office, and there were voices of praise everywhere in South Korea, at this time, it is natural that not only the Korean entertainment industry, but also all walks of life in South Korean society, such as Tian Maosheng, the director of the Seoul District Police Agency, also stood up again.

He said, "'Friends' is a great film that criticizes the bad behavior of gangs and shows the social changes in Korea in the past two or three decades, and we will not allow some people to maliciously misinterpret it, so in order to show our support for Dr. Lee, we will once again carry out a severe gang crackdown in Seoul to build a quiet and peaceful social ...... for our people." ”

This hard-working sycophant was naturally instructed, not to mention, he did not receive less benefits from Li Zhengxi, as far as the current situation is concerned, his relationship with Li Zhengxi is closely linked.

And as soon as he spoke, the guy on Seoul Road finally determined that this guy was Lee Chung-hee's person, of course, not only that, if the relationship was further up, the back of the necks of those gang members began to have a cool breeze. I really can't afford to offend, so I'm still honestly squatting in the corner and pretending to be my grandson.

In this way, with the joint efforts of the top and bottom, the movie "Friends" will no longer be condemned by public opinion because of the subject matter like the original work, and now, everyone thinks that this is just because of "Once Upon a Time in America" and chose the theme of gangs.

But he is actually singing the praises of friendship and attacking gangs, and at the same time, his greater significance lies in the fact that he shows the social changes in South Korea in the past two or three decades, which are the most valuable and valuable aspects of this film, and are linked to awards.

Therefore, many people are already predicting how many of the awards of the Big Bell Award and the Baeksang Art Awards awarded in May and June this year will fall on this popular film.

For a while, all kinds of discussions were in the dust, but after all, there was still some time, and for Lee Chung-hee and Imperial Entertainment, they were paying attention to the next box office table.

In the third week, "Friends" still only fell by about 35% compared to the second week, winning 2.08 million viewers.

With the addition of this, it is infinitely close to the goal of 10 million moviegoers in Lee Chung-hee's mind, and at this time, the Korean media also discussed it again because of this excitement ....... (To be continued)
