Chapter 31: The Movie Comes Through
Recently, Cui Zhenlong really feels that he has eaten a lot, has a lot of energy, and his anger is also relatively big and impulsive, and he may be really about to enter puberty. For the sake of his height in the future, he also specially asked his grandmother to improve the food standards at home, what beef, eggs, milk and the like are best to be supplied every day, anyway, there is no shortage of money at home now, and he himself has also formulated a strict physical exercise plan for this purpose, getting up early every day to run 10 kilometers, sit-ups, team up to play basketball, and of course, when he has time, he will go to the taekwondo gym to wrestle and roll to vent his excess energy.
At this moment, Cui Zhenlong, who is wearing a traditional white taekwondo uniform and wearing a red and black belt around his waist, is competing with a senior brother from a gym, because both of them know each other's strength, so they let go of their hands and feet to attack, how handsome Cui Zhenlong is. Don't look at the fact that he has not studied karate for a few years, but he already has the strength of the second rank of red and black belt, if it were not for the rule that teenagers under the age of 15 are not awarded the rank of black belt, he would have been able to rise to the second rank of black belt now.
"Zhenlong, come here!" A majestic male voice sounded from behind, and the senior brother who was practicing with Cui Zhenlong immediately stopped, and both of them took a step back, bowing and saluting according to the usual practice before leaving.
"Coach, you look for me" Cui Zhenlong respectfully saluted the man and knelt on the ground, he still has a lot of respect for this coach Min Donggen, not because Coach Min is a seventh-dan black belt in taekwondo and respects him, but he himself has good virtues, is a representative of the martial spirit, and is really silently doing a model of inheriting the spirit of taekwondo.
"Zhenlong, it's been several years since you came to my gym to study, and now you tell me, what is the spirit of Taekwondo?"
"The spirit of taekwondo is etiquette and shame, patience and self-denial, perseverance, loyalty, filial piety and bravery!"
"Well, that's a good point! However, these are not enough to talk about, but to really do it, I also know your character, the appearance is casual and unrestrained, but the heart is more serious and tenacious than anyone else, and it is not affected by any etiquette, and has its own judgment and determination" Coach Min picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, and continued: "I have also heard about your fights at school, and I don't want to say that you are wrong on this point. I think as a man, you have to shoot when you should shoot, don't hesitate, but you have to control the strength of your shot, we who practice martial arts are no better than ordinary people, and I don't need to explain the consequences of shooting too hard. So, Zhenlong, you have to have your own restraint in this regard, and I believe that you can do better than anyone else. ”
Coach Min still admires Cui Zhenlong, a little disciple, with good talent and intelligence, but his personality is relatively lazy, and he is not too diligent when he exercises, but even so, he has become the best among many students, if he can be more diligent, it is not impossible to be promoted to the seventh rank of the black belt or even exceed his rank, but it is still a pity, Cui Zhenlong is not here.
Cui Zhenlong also understands the meaning of Coach Min Donggen's words, but he has always adhered to the principle of "people don't offend me, I don't offend people; If someone offends me, I will pay it back", only by beating the person who offended me can we have the effect of killing chickens and monkeys and reducing those unnecessary troubles.

On December 15, 1999, after months of preparation and testing, the first card browser game "Korean Three Kingdoms Online" launched by Actoz was officially launched. In order to attract more users, Actoz also cooperated with MSN's South Korean operator to advertise on it, and paid a lot of money for this, but it is really impossible to see how effective it will be in the short term.
Also on the same day, the movie "I Am a Savage Girlfriend" also held its premiere at the famous Korean Theater in Chungmuro, the temperature on this day was a little low, but the actresses who were invited to walk the red carpet still dressed up to attend, it was really a beautiful "frozen" person, and the fan positions on both sides were also sending bursts of screams.
However, the biggest cheers appeared when the entire crew appeared, this is not to say how popular the two leading actors of the movie are now, but Park Xiuhui, who appeared as a screenwriter, became the focus of everyone, and no screenwriter received more cheers than the director and the leading actors at the premiere of any movie, even Park Xiuhui herself was taken aback by this sudden situation, she originally thought it was just a cutscene and a soy sauce, but she didn't expect to be the focus of the audience, but her good heart made her calm down immediately, Then, after bowing to the fans around him, he walked into the theater with a reserved smile and elegant steps, leaving the director and actors to interact with the fans. The limelight has come out, whether to be low-key or low-key, Park Xiuhui is still very clear about this aspect.
Until the movie officially began, Park so-hye did not appear in the center of the stage again, but sat under the stage to accompany her husband. Today Cui Gengyou also came to the scene in person, but he didn't have the leisure to walk the red carpet, when he saw that his wife was welcomed by so many people, he was also happy for her from the bottom of his heart, and now Park Xiuhui put down his body to sit next to him, Cui Gengyou is even more satisfied, and his self-esteem has been greatly satisfied, just like an innocent little boy secretly holding his wife's hand underneath, Park Xiuhui gave her husband a roll of eyes in a variety of ways, and today's occasion has given him enough face, Of course, what happens when you get home is another story.
The lights around dimmed, and the movie officially began, although almost everyone present had read Park Xiuhui's novel and knew the general direction of the plot, but the description on the text and the effect of the movie itself had completely different feelings, watching the heroine Cui Xiuhui vomit at a passenger after being drunk, the audience couldn't help but have a trace of nausea discomfort while laughing, and then the actor's series of joke-filled performances quickly infected everyone, and in an unnoticeable corner, There is a girl who leans forward and backwards laughing as the plot unfolds, not like a lady, she does not come with a task like the other reporters in the seats, but really enjoys the joy of the movie.
If this scene is seen by Cui Gengyou and his wife, they will be surprised, this girl is the female paper of the Cui family, Cui Zhenlong's aunt Cui Gengjing, in fact, she is a super fan of "I Am a Savage Girlfriend", but she is a fan of a bit special, she lives under the same roof with the author of the novel, sometimes she has always imagined that she is the heroine of the novel "Cui Xiuhui", one day she can meet a boy who is willing to be bullied by her and pay for her, then she will marry each other without hesitation... Well, even the female Han paper has a moment of longing for a beautiful love, and the outer appearance of the "Han paper" is the same, and there is a place for "girls" deep down.
The film continues to play, and the storyline has entered the second half, and the emotional entanglements between men and women gradually replace the funny clips in the first half. Friendship, love, and warmth are intertwined, and everyone in the theater has put away their smiles and truly integrated into the story, and their moods fluctuate with the emotional twists and turns of the hero and heroine.
Director Guo Zairong did not limit the script to the framework of the original novel, especially in the final ending, and adopted a favorite consummation method as the ending, which is not as ambiguous as written in the novel, and can be regarded as making up for the regrets in the hearts of many readers. And at the end of the film, our director Guo Da also deliberately added an easter egg, I saw that the hero and heroine who had been married for a few years were preparing to do some activities that were not suitable for children in their bedroom, and a knock on the door interrupted the two, and then a cute little boy walked in and began to tell the story to the husband and wife, and the film ended here...
Cui Gengyou looked at his wife with black lines, the last scene is too familiar, Nima is a live reproduction of what happened at home before, Park Xiuhui is smiling like a fox who stole a chicken at the moment, this last easter egg was specially added by her, her husband's stupid expression after reading it has already made her very satisfied, but what kind of expression will her own demon son have if he sees this scene? It's really exciting!
Cui Zhenlong, who was working hard to do the exercises, suddenly felt a cold on his body, and couldn't help sneezing, muttering to himself if he had a cold? This thing would never have thought that his mother had dug a pit for him, and when he bought a ticket to enter the cinema to see this scene in the future, he almost vomited blood and died, and thousands of grass and mud horses galloped past in his heart, and a thought flashed in his mind: "It turns out that I really disturbed Abba and Mom's good deeds that night, what a sin!" ”
On the second day after the premiere, major entertainment media reported the news of the release of "I Am a Sassy Girlfriend", and many film critics also gave their own opinions, almost one-sided praise, what redefined the concept of romantic comedy, the most unmissable romantic movie of the year, a must-see movie for couples, etc. Behind such a good publicity effect, of course, the "King Sejong" (Korean won) was used to open the way, but it is undeniable that the quality of the film itself is excellent, and the play of the male and female leading actors also plays a key role.
In addition, it coincides with the approaching Christmas, the enthusiasm of young couples to watch movies is generally high, and the major theaters in South Korea have appeared in line to buy tickets, and it can even be said that it is difficult to find a ticket, and the major theaters hurriedly adjusted the number of screenings to meet the needs of the public, according to preliminary statistics, in just three days, the number of moviegoers in South Korea exceeded 1.2 million, if it were not for the lack of preparation in the theater and the insufficient number of copies of the film, this number would be even more exaggerated, Many film companies are drooling over it, Nima should be so inhumane, it will only be three days before the cost is almost recovered, and everyone who goes to the theater to watch this movie in the future will be a real profit!
