Chapter 296: No. 1 at the Korean box office

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The screening didn't take much time, it only lasted less than half an hour, and then it was time to actually watch the movie.

The movie will be officially released tomorrow, and the more than 100 lucky people who came today actually want to see something interesting about the screening in addition to watching the movie.

It's a pity that this screening is too monotonous, except for Xicheng in front of him, which is a bit interesting, and the people who appear in the back are a little disappointing, all nervous, like criminals who are about to go to the prison.

In addition, people already knew that this movie was a same-sex theme similar to "Brokeback Mountain", so some people even wanted to leave the show early.

Fortunately, they still hold on to the hope of what happens, thinking that Hee-sung may show up again to thank him.

Xicheng, who rarely sees a real person on weekdays, suddenly appears here, and I have to say that it really played a role in the topic.

The movie version of "The King's Man" begins with the theme song, soft and gloomy, with a hint of lingering sadness.

From the very beginning, the film pulls a hundred and ten audience members into a mournful atmosphere.

This is the song sung by Taeyeon, and Yoona is in a trance as she listens to this familiar singing.

During that time, Taeyeon practiced for more than ten hours almost every day, practicing over and over again, regardless of whether her throat could withstand it or not.

I heard that even when I was dreaming, I was singing.

At the time, I thought it was ridiculous, but now Yuna can't laugh.

Glancing at the company juniors around her, who were a year older than herself, she looked like a child, and Yun'er's heart couldn't help but raise a lot of respect for her.

It's for a dream. A girl who can give a qiē to it, she loves music so much. Love is extremely pure.

Taeyeon opens her mouth and tries not to let herself laugh like an aunt, she is a girl with a very low laugh point, and she will laugh out loud at every turn.

The king's man, in the beginning, did not have any tragic tones.

Bright and cheerful, people who don't know that period of history may think of this movie as a comedy.

So. There are not a few people like Taeyeon who have a smile on her face.

Laugh, when you are crying, Hee Sung sneered in his heart as he walked, and it took a long time to finally reach his destination.

Changsheng played by Gan Woo-sung and Kong Ji played by Lee Joon-gi are just two artists who perform in the countryside. Dependent on each other, in order to get rid of the mercy of the troupe owner, Changsheng took Kong Ji to leave the troupe.

The movie is airing until Changsheng escapes with Kong Ji, the plot is very tense, and Yoona and Taeyeon are not in the mood to eat popcorn, and they open their mouths slightly. His eyes stared at the screen without blinking.

For the sake of immortality, Changsheng, who was cowardly by nature, accidentally killed the leader of the team who led people to capture them.

After the killing, the two fled again, this time finally escaping their pursuers.

Yuna breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go get popcorn. Something suddenly happened that made her almost scream.

Her hand was held!

I was in a state of tension all the time just now, and I didn't even realize that I was being taken advantage of.

Who is it. Could it be the legendary cinema pervert?

Yun'er reflexively turned her head, and through the faint light of the movie screen, she happened to see a handsome and hateful smiling face.

"Let go of me," she whispered through gritted teeth, cautiously turning her head to look at Taeyeon.

"Don't let go," Hee-sung's fingers were slender enough to wrap her completely.

At this time, the difference between men and women can be even more reflected, Hee-sung's hands are strong and even slightly rough, while Yun'a's hands are much softer, like a piece of dough.

Hee Sung likes this feeling very much, he chooses to follow his heart, pull if he wants, touch if he wants, as for whether he likes Yun'er or not now, this kind of problem that tests brain cells too much is better to put it aside for the time being.

As for the result of this, Hee-sung didn't know, but he at least knew that Yuna wouldn't sue him for harassment.

"You scoundrel, let me go," Yoona lost her usual neatness and only felt flustered, not knowing whether she was worried about Taeyeon Hyun or afraid that she would be more and more influenced by Hee Sung.

In fact, being made such a fuss by the two of them, Taeyeon's attention has been drawn.

"Ah, Hee...... Cheng, it's you," fortunately, she reacted in time, lowered her voice, and did not call out Hee-sung's name loudly.

Even so, she also received the white eyes of several people around her, if it weren't for the fact that she was a little girl, and everyone was concentrating on watching the movie, maybe someone would have reprimanded her.

The movie has a very strong sense of rhythm, and it is really engaging, and people can't wait to take in every shot.

On the way to escape, Kong Ji and Changsheng acted in the comedy of two blind people, green grass and blue sky, two free people, and two blooming souls. The flowers all over the mountains and fields, those are two people who are really happy.

But they left this joy and set out to go to the capital.

It's a dead end.

"The King's Man" is an adaptation of the opera, and it has its own prototype in history.

Most of the people clenched their fists, touched by such a doomed tragedy, and some even couldn't help but shout not to go.

No one blames him, everyone thinks the same way.

Yuna's hand was still being held, she didn't dare to struggle too violently, for fear of being revealed by Taeyeon, Hee-sung took advantage of her kind of mind and took advantage of the little beauty in a despicable way.

Nephrite jade is warm and fragrant, and even movies that make people cry seem cute.

If Li Junyi knew that someone watched two little people struggling for fate, but with a smug smile on their faces, they would definitely die of anger.

The plot of the movie is relaxed, Changsheng can always play the blind man to make him laugh when Kong Ji is down, even if he is penniless, he can find food to share with him, although this life is hard but very happy, and Changsheng is a wise and talented artist, his skills are quite agile, more than enough for street performances, and he also innovatively turned court stories into street performances, and was loved by the people in Hanyang.

If......

There is no if, no matter how beautiful the happiness. Also a warm-up for the coming storm.

Their acting talents got the attention of Gonggong Qiao in the palace, and he used the Forbidden Mansion to bring them into the palace. Performing for the king, Changsheng and Kong Ji began to get involved in the battle and political whirlpool of the palace of Wuxiu.

When the performance is no longer just a performance, when the performance is no longer just entertainment, when the performance has political intentions and is used by others, it is not what it used to be. Changsheng and Kong Ji acted, and through their performances, the bigger stage was under the stage. The scene of satirizing corrupt officials allowed Wang to take advantage of the opportunity to kill corrupt officials. Establish their own authority. The smell of blood began to fill the air.

The next scene involves the harem women fighting and killing each other out of jealousy, which reminds the king that his mother was given to death by the first king because of the jealousy of the harem women. The out-of-control king killed the two concubines of the former king related to his mother's death on the spot, and the queen mother also died suddenly on the spot.

The parting of life and death on the stage has become a bloody scene off the stage. This is not the original intention of the performance, the two scenes are intertwined, making it difficult to distinguish which is the real stage and which is the performer. Which is the audience?

Maybe it's because of his cold temperament and lack of feelings, it's hard for Hee Sung to imagine what kind of magic such a plot can make so many people forget in the cinema.

His thoughts are always different from ordinary people, and they even associate it with himself.

From this movie, Hee Sung can imagine why his grandfather opposes his entry into the entertainment industry.

The people in the play wear a paper crown. Dressed in gorgeous costumes, greased and powdered faces, under the brilliant lights, sexy, mysterious. It is a collection of thousands of pets, as if it is high up. But they are with the real magnates – the rulers. Those carnivores are bluffing and vulnerable.

How similar it is to artists in the real world.

"The King's Man" is actually the King's play, the King's clown, the King's toy.

Therefore, the artist Kong Ji is neither a man nor a woman, he is an ambiguous and sad being.

To the left of Kongi is the powerful ruler, or the secular society with an iron will; And to the right of Kong Ji is a real man-artist Changsheng.

If the tyrant Yanshan is the king of reality, and the artist Changsheng is the king of the heart.

Therefore, at the beginning of this movie, it did not describe the hardships of the artist's learning and the difficult and complicated growth process like a general artist biopic, but directly started from Changsheng's rebellion against the troupe owner, which illustrates one point, that is, Changsheng tried to be his own king, so he began to rebel against the rules of the world, and he did not want Kong Ji to succumb to the obscenity of the powerful, at this time, he really became a third person, a dissolute and uninhibited artist.

Of course, this also means that he chose a kind of self-exile within the earthly world, and it became inevitable that he would die blindly.

In fact, Yan Shanjun is also a play, a cruel and tragic play.

In the final scene, the king and his concubine are watching, Kong Ji is walking towards the blind immortal on the rope, the shouts of killing outside the door are getting closer and closer, and everyone is unmoved, and the king is happy to watch the performance of the two on the rope, because it is a great performance, "a performance that ends all performances".

Maybe Changsheng will regret coming to the capital, will regret teasing the king, and will regret entering the palace.

However, perhaps, this is fate, and no one can get rid of it.

Perhaps no one expected that the king would fall in love with Kong Ji at the beginning; Perhaps at first, Changsheng didn't expect that he would escape from a fire pit with him, but it was also him who would take him and jump into another, bigger fire pit; Perhaps at the beginning, Kong Ji would not have expected that he would make Wang intoxicated, and he would be unable to extricate himself step by step, and he would not be able to control him.

Tragedy is to tear beautiful things apart for people to see.

The movie unceremoniously tore up that bit of self-comfort in the audience's heart.

Changsheng, who was secretly released, refused to leave, and deliberately wandered above the palace, seeing that Yanshan Jun was about to shoot Changsheng, Kong Ji desperately hugged the king to obstruct him, and not only that, but also boarded the rope to meet the blind Changsheng.

He said to the crazy immortal, "If you were to be reincarnated, what kind of person would you want to be? Be a nobleman? Do you want to be the king? ”

Changsheng replied: "It doesn't mean anything to be a king, I'd rather be a drama again." ”

Then he asked Kong Ji: "Then what about reincarnating you?" ”

Kong Ji replied: "Don't do anything, just do drama, don't do anything else!" ”

He didn't regret it until he died, and this regret ran throughout. It's melancholy.

Yoona and Taeyeon hugged each other and seemed to be really crying.

I don't know if it's because of the misfortune of these two ancient artists. Or for other unknown reasons, girls are always more likely to be sentimental.

Hee-sung let go of Yun'er's hand, feeling a little lost in his heart.

Actually, he wanted to say, come to my arms and cry.

It's just that he suddenly doesn't have the confidence to afford this promise, even though he is not Changsheng and Yuna is not Kong Ji. There is no Yanshanjun in this world.

When the final scene of the play freezes on the screen, "The King's Man" finally comes to an end, and begins to roll the subtitles of the staff behind the scenes, and the lights in the theater are lit up.

Li Junyi, who was sitting in the VIP seat, observed the faces of the people in the audience with a rigorous expression, and his ears did not relax to catch any discussion about the perception of the movie.

The more than 100 viewers won't be able to win much for the film, even if they will be in the cinema tomorrow. But the audience's reaction can explain the quality of the movie from a certain point of view.

As far as the eye can see, most of them are gratifying, and people are still in a state of confusion and sadness, as if they don't know that the movie has ended.

It worked!

Li Junyi let go of the fist that he had been clenching, and the palm of his hand had been pinched and bleeding.

"Brother Junyi. Where's Hades? Lee Joon-gi just wants to know the answer to this question, he has been busy and has no time since he arrived here, and now that the movie is over, he can't help it.

"What are you looking for him," Lee Jun-yi knew that Hee-sung didn't want to reveal his identity. Naturally, they will cooperate to help conceal it.

"I want to thank him, in person. Thanking him solemnly, "Lee Joon-gi has stopped paying attention to people's reactions to watching the movie."

After so many days of hard shooting, there has always been a passion surging in his heart.

There is a person in this world who looks up to him, looks up to him as an insignificant little trick, and is willing to spend money to hire him to play the leading role.

Lee Joon-gi was poor before Wang Nan's audition, and on the one hand, he was living on a meager filming salary, and on the other hand, he needed to work part-time to earn tuition fees to complete art university, and often missed meals, saving money and looking for a way with his agent.

That day, with only money left to eat noodles, the two sat in front of the noodle stall, ready to eat this bowl of noodles and then return to their hometown, as if they had come to an end of desolation.

But he received a call from Li Junyi at the noodle stall, saying that someone recommended him to play the leading role in the movie.

Is this kind of encounter like the Tang people's so-called willows and flowers and another village?

The thin skin and flesh he was hungry for at this time, and the helpless Chunqing, aren't they just the portrayal of Kong Ji?

At the end of the road, with desperate determination, he tried his best to play this role to the extreme, not only as said in the play, "for life", but also a kind of resoluteness to die for a confidant.

Therefore, the person who recommended Lee Joon-gi to act in this movie has almost become a belief of him.

He can not care about the audience and not pay attention to the box office, but he stubbornly wants to see that person and thank him in person.

Because Hee Sung was reluctant to be in the limelight and cause trouble, Lee Jun-ik could only sue Lee Joon-gi that he was chosen by investor Hades to be the protagonist.

In fact, this is not false, Hades is not Xicheng, Xicheng is not Hades.

However, in this way, where to find a Hades to come over and ask him to thank him, Li Junyi said with a headache: "It's not convenient for him to come forward, so forget about the thanks, Zhun Gi, you played a good role and lived up to his expectations, let's talk about the matter of thanking him in person." ”

"I still hope to see him," Lee Joon-gi stood up and bowed solemnly to the director, his handsome face full of unrepentant stubbornness.

In fact, Lee Joon-gi's personality is not as feminine as he looks, he has a very straight temper, knows martial arts, and is extremely stubborn.

"You really should say thank you to the investors and toast with a glass of wine," Gan Woo-sung, who plays Changsheng, also echoed, and he received the highest salary of 300 million won, and he is also grateful for the generosity of investors.

"Is there anything inconvenient?" Zheng Zhenrong, who plays Wang, is older, contrary to Wang's irascible character, he is more mature and stable, and when he saw the director's embarrassed face, he played a round.

In fact, he is just as curious about the hidden investors.

"Alas, I'll try," Li Junyi was helpless, and was about to discuss with Hee-sung, but unfortunately, when he stood up and looked around, there was no trace of Hee-sung here.

"He's been here?" Lee Joon-gi asked urgently.

Looking at the director's appearance, he also knew that the person they met had at least appeared here.

"yes. You've all seen him," Li Junyi smiled wryly. "However, who would have thought that it seems that many miracles have appeared on him, since he doesn't want to show his face, let's be considerate."

The people who appear today?

The first thing that came to mind was Daniel Zhang.

Could it be him? It's unlikely, he is a director, and how can he make his own movies to attract investment, but he invests in others.

Is it mixed in with the audience? That's not easy to find.

Hey...... Wrong!

Hades, Daniel Zhang Yu......

If you just mention Hades, people have the impression that it is Hades in ancient Greek mythology.

However, if you put Hades and Daniel Zhang together in your imagination, these people in the film and television circle will naturally not ignore the most shocking salted fish turnaround this year.

Yes, Hades first appeared in the public eye. It was a review of "Clover" that was later brought back to life, and I heard that there was also a role for this person.

So, combined with today's Daniel Zhang, who is he the most affectionate with?

Could it be that it is Hee-sung!

The main members of the crew who were sitting in the VIP seat were so frightened by this thought that they almost jumped out of their chairs.

Hee Sung = Hades?

Singer, songwriter, MC, actor...... Maybe. And one more investor.

Since he thought of Xicheng's head, some people realized that he seemed to have invested in a variety show, with an investment of more than 2 billion.

Thinking about it this way, it's not surprising that he's an investor in the film.

Don't mention these tangled people. Not to mention Hee-sung, who accompanied Yoona and Taeyeon back, "The King's Man" was successfully screened. It also indicates that the box office storm at the end of 05 and the beginning of 06 has kicked off.

On December 29, 2oo5, "The King's Man" was released simultaneously in many theaters.

Let's take a look at its step-by-step journey to the altar.

On January 1, 2oo6, "The King's Man" has exceeded 1.12 million viewers nationwide, and due to its high popularity, it has begun to increase the number of theaters.

On January 8, "The King's Man" exceeded 2oo audiences nationwide within 9 days of its release, and the pre-sale tickets ranked first on the movie pre-sale list, accounting for nearly 5o% of the share.

On January 21, South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun went to the theater on the morning of the 21st to watch the historical drama film "The King's Man", which has exceeded 5oo viewers nationwide and has become a topic.

Because South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun went to the Lotte Theater in the center of Erer to watch a movie on the 21st, "The King's Man" has also become a compulsory course for politicians and civil servants. At the same time, South Korean politics began to quote "The King's Man" to set off a satirical offensive and defensive war on the issue of cabinet reshuffle.

On February 2, according to the latest statistics, "The King's Man" topped the weekend advance tickets for the sixth consecutive week, exceeding 88o viewers, successfully suppressing the Hollywood blockbusters "Memoirs of a Geisha" and "Dou Master" that challenged it before.

Statistics on February 9: As of the 8th, "The King's Man" has exceeded 9,715,472 viewers nationwide, ranking second in the 7th week of advance ticket sales.

On February 11, "The King's Man" broke through 1ooo viewers nationwide without suspense, becoming the third film in Korean history to break through 1ooo 10,000 viewers.

On February 16, it was reported that due to the upcoming meeting of foreign ambassadors, 1oo Korean ambassadors to overseas who work in countries around the world will return to Japan, and they are scheduled to watch "The King's Man" at the Korean Theater on February 19.

Subsequently, South Korea's largest opposition party, the Grand National Party representative (party) and presidential candidate Park Geun-hye (⊙_⊙ Khan), went to a theater in Ershi with more than 1o members of parliament to watch "The King's Man" on the afternoon of the 17th after the party work was over.

It is also reported that former President Kim Dae-jung also watched the film with his secretaries in the general audience on the 9th, and commented that "the movie is very compact and interesting." It not only describes the people's criticism of the absolute power, but also truly reflects the life and customs of the people."

On February 22, "The King's Man" exceeded 11,118,167 viewers nationwide, making it the second highest-grossing film in Korean film history. It is expected to break the record of 11.74 million viewers of "Tai Chi Flag Flying" around the 27th this weekend or early next week. And it will usher in a new era in the history of Korean cinema that will exceed 120,000 viewers for the last time.

According to statistics on February 27, as of the 26th, "The King's Man" exceeded 11,445,412 viewers across the country, only 3o people short of the 11.74 million record of "Tai Chi Flag Flying". At present, "The King's Man" still maintains the number of theaters in 48 and 217 nationwide. After rewriting the history of no historical drama film in the top 10 grossing films in Korean film history, the film is now challenging for the highest record.

After that, the legend continued to heat up, and it quickly left behind "Typhoon" and "King Kong" released at the same time, and the number of moviegoers finally reached 12,298,28o, and finally passed "Taiji Flag Flying", becoming the highest-grossing film in Korean film history.

After the release of "The King's Man", Lee Joon-gi's salary has risen more than five times, and the new film contract and advertising have been soft, and in the latest advertisement, he has begun to cooperate with South Korean first-line stars Jang Dongjian and Lee Hyo-ri.

All parties are happy, and each has achieved fame and fortune.

Hee Sung didn't suffer too much, although he pushed off the role of Kong Ji and made him miss the opportunity to become a god, but he earned the first huge sum of money in his life.

ps: It's very watery in the back, but this chapter has a lot of words, so please be considerate.
