There is no doubt that the two programs that Li Donglai participated in when he returned to South Korea this time, "Family Birth" and "Strong Heart", have achieved huge repercussions after the final editing and broadcast.
Whether it is the funny wrestling match in "Family", or a series of interviews in "Strong Heart", and the guests of the show are all popular idols, they are all full of highlights, which can be called the most ferocious attention rate of Korean variety shows.
This episode of "Family" has even been translated into English and circulated in Europe and the United States, with record ratings. "Strong Heart" was also broadcast in two episodes, and in Tuesday's broadcast, the ratings also dominated the ratings, strongly suppressing other programs.
After the show aired, Ha Ji Won became the first female guest to be wrestled in "Family" and became one of the focuses of attention. The most dazzling thing is, of course, the PK that Li Donglai has appeared on the screen for the second time since WWE's strong PK to reverse its image. Although this time it was a funny game, there were still countless viewers.
Real kung fu is indeed more attractive than those who rely on stunts and cool action competitions. As everyone knows, when Bruce Lee was rampant in Europe and the United States, the word "kung fu" was very popular. Fighting Abdul-Jabbar and the giants of various countries are also battles with huge disparities, but there is no doubt that Bruce Lee's more solid skills are highlighted.
Later, after Bruce Lee's death, the movie "Game of Death" used Korean actor Tang Long as a stand-in, although he tried his best to cover it up with special effects, but it was still seen differently by the audience. Don't say anything else, just watch Bruce Lee kick the glass a second time, but Tang Long has to take a few steps back to help run, and then kick the broken glass. And when Bruce Lee kicks, his feet are straight, and Tang Long is curved, this is the gap.
There are also many points worth discussing in "Strong Heart", with Girls' Generation Kim Tae-yeon announcing the "Captain's Retirement Incident", Bigbang announcing the "Defection Incident", and so on. Of course, the most concerned is the new film plan announced by Li Donglai.
This episode of the program, as Li Donglai said, the term "strong heart" has really historically made the headlines of newspapers and entertainment pages in Europe and the United States. Major newspapers such as the Hollywood Entertainment Newspaper, the Los Angeles Times, and the New York Times have also reported on it.
Because at present, Li Donglai is in the limelight in the United States, he usually does not accept interviews much, and there is a little breakthrough news, which is naturally sought after countless times.
Although it is "Transformers 2" with an investment of nearly 300 million that is making waves on the North American box office list now, no one can ignore the movie "The Hangover". This movie has been released for five consecutive weeks, but it is still staying in the top 10, and the North American box office is very strong towards 300 million.
In the four weeks of overseas release, the total box office has successfully exceeded 200 million, and the global total box office has finally successfully exceeded the 500 million mark after more than a month of release. There are still some countries and regions that have not yet been released, such as Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and other places...... However, the publicity momentum is amazing, and I believe that it can achieve good box office results after its release.
In a word, a lot of money.
The Los Angeles Times once again published a review with the headline: "R-rated comedy film global box office record, Chinese to write." This time, with box office results in front of them, they were no longer conservative and praised: "This is a strong counterattack by the emperor of kung fu, and I suspect that it is the beginning of the revival of comedy."
When Li Donglai's first movie "Source Code" was released at the beginning of the year, almost not many people were optimistic. However, this small-budget film has achieved a box office result of nearly 200 million in North America, and the global box office has achieved a disparity of 100 times the investment cost.
And after Lee Dong-lai announced that the second movie was not an action movie that people expected, and an American-style comedy, everyone was pouring cold water, and they were all predicting that it would be a super bad movie. It seems that the young man has been seen bankrupt and depressed.
But what we see now is that this is a beautiful counterattack, the 22-year-old and 3-month-old director has come to the most gorgeous metamorphosis in history.
A year ago, he had to undress and flex his muscles to attract the attention of young girls in the idol movie "Twilight," but now he is one of the youngest billionaires.
A Chinese shoots an American-flavored comedy, which makes the American audience fall into it and can't extricate themselves. There are also countless big-name stars who are willing to ask him for tickets and take the initiative to enter the cinema to watch this comedy. ”
"He is a phenomenal director, and now even if he is out of the idol movie "Twilight", he is still a hot emerging director and actor. I believe that there will be countless film companies and film directors who will want to invite him to film. ”
After watching "The Hangover", people also knew that there would be a second part, but at this time, Li Donglai actually announced that he was going to start filming a new movie again, and it was not "The Hangover 2", how could it not be shocking.
A newspaper of Daily Entertainment wrote: "I have already shot two films in half a year, and all of them have been big hits, and now I am going to make a third film, which is a workaholic." ”
The entertainment edition of the Wall Street Journal said: "The investment of $35 million in the 'hangover' movie is a tenfold increase from the $3.5 million investment in the first movie, 'Source Code.'" In total, it has generated a global box office of nearly one billion, making the young Chinese one of the brightest billionaires in the world. But now he is not satisfied, 35 million still can't feed his appetite, he has already aimed at a big investment of 200 million US dollars, a big system......"
Catherine, a reporter for the Los Angeles Times, who has a good relationship with the Phantom Company, advised her peers in her column: "This time we need to remember for a long time, and not again, to make sarcastic remarks and say bad things before they are settled." We are the high-end media in the United States, and we don't want the Chinese to think that we are just an afterthought, without face and skin. I'm looking forward to giving him a fair review after the film is screened. Will it continue to create the glory of a phenomenal director, or will it be a flash in the pan...... One qiē is possible. ”
Catherine's report made some peers acquiesce, but some colleagues said some ugly things, reprimanding her for being Li Donglai's mistress, whether Li Donglai slept with her and fed her very well, so that she worked so hard to say good things to Li Dong.
……
However, the uproar of the media could no longer stop Li Donglai's ambitions.
As he said in "Strong Heart", the material for this new film is something he has been thinking about for a long time. He has traveled the world and has had a wealth of insight and strange experiences. These insights and experiences have provided him with the best motivation for creative new works. When he first traveled the world and lived in a fixed place, he didn't think about making any movies. After returning to China to settle down, the old man didn't want to move, and he began to have his own screenwriting ideas when he was working as a trick in Hengdian. Since then, fragments of whimsical ideas have been accumulating in my mind.
Now, two masterpieces have been created.
This one is also the best idea he thinks.
So after returning to the United States, he immediately mobilized everyone in the company. Start preparing equipment, props and other items that need to be prepared in advance. And he himself has free time, so he makes final revisions and improvements to the script.
