Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
When "Invasion of the Wireworms" was released in China, it also received a lot of praise.
During the release of the film in South Korea, the number of moviegoers reached nearly 5oo, and the competition on the same stage defeated "Spider-Man", and then it was impacted by "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises", and the box office momentum is still unabated, becoming the most influential disaster film in Korean theaters in 2o12.
Because of the novel theme and shocking plot, it has attracted the continuous attention of the Korean people.
The film exceeded 1.32 million viewers in the first week of its release in South Korea, reached 2oo viewers on the 8th day, 3oo viewers on the 11th day, and 4oo000 viewers on the 17th. Under the attack of Hollywood blockbusters such as "Spider-Man" and "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises", it also did not show weakness and occupied a good ranking on the box office list, showing its competitiveness as a "biological" disaster movie in South Korea.
Korean films, these years are quite fast. Many big directors have entered Hollywood, and they are doing well.
If "Introduction to Architecture" and "Invasion of the Wireworms" are the two pioneers of Phantom Korea, then the blockbuster "League of Thieves" that followed was a bombshell.
This is also the biggest investment film of the Phantom this year, directed by the famous Korean director Choi Dongxun, attracting Korean local powerful actors Kim Yoon-seok, Kim Hye-so, Lee Jung-jae to join, as well as the goddess Jun Ji-hyun, and Kim so-hyun, who has recently become very popular because of the TV series.
As a crime action film, it tells the story of a ten-person theft team from South Korea and China who carry out a joint operation to steal a rare diamond hidden in a Macau casino. It is also the first time to invite Ren Dahua, Wu Dashu, Li Xinjie, and Zeng Guoxiang to star. Ren Dahua, as a veteran and powerful star in Hong Kong, is a little old because of the passing of time. can be more and more perfect.
This Korean movie, because it attracted so many stars at one time, has become a Korean topic since the start of filming. After the movie was released, the Phantom launched a lot of publicity, and the ensuing box office really lived up to the trust.
After its release on July 25. For more than two months, it has dominated the box office champion many times, and it was not until two months later that it fell out of the top ten of the Korean box office list, but when it entered September, the number of audiences of the movie in South Korea has reached 13o20,000, and it has continuously refreshed 17 box office records in Korean film history, officially surpassing "Monster of the Han River" (2oo6) 13o10,000. It became the highest-grossing local film in Korean history.
It took 7o days to break through 13oo people, which is 36 days faster than the 1o6 days of "Monster". Among all the films currently released in South Korea, only "Avatar" (1.36 million) has more viewers than it. Kim Yoon-seok, one of the film's leading actors, has grown in popularity and is now firmly among the most valuable male actors in South Korea, while Jun Ji-hyun, who plays a female thief, has finally escaped the notoriety of "box office poison".
When it was released in Hong Kong and other places, it was among Korean movies, which was not bad.
The ticket price of a regular movie ticket in South Korea is about 3o-4o yuan. "League of Thieves" has 13.20 million viewers, and the current total box office amount is 89.4 billion won, or about 500 million yuan. In 2oo2, even if it is placed in China, it is the top five results of the year.
The details of the film are handled well, the foreshadowing can basically be echoed, and the plot can basically be explained. The characters are basically consistent, and there are no inexplicable mutations. And it's full of some little humor, such as the sentence Andrew said when he teased Jun Ji-hyun: I heard that Koreans are all made up. There is also Jun Ji-hyun's escape from the hotel, and his name "stinks" Biaozi "" in the Times Times, this kind of humor can be seen everywhere.
There are many places where there are commendable things, and it is no accident that such results have been achieved.
The phantom's heavy blow can be regarded as shaking the Korean market. Originally, last year's Phantom won the top five seats of the year, and this year, many companies are struggling to open blockbusters and want to give it a go. Unexpectedly, it was all beaten by a "League of Thieves", and it also set a new box office record for Korean movies.
It's worth saying. A month after the release of "League of Thieves", the Phantom's fourth film, "Gone with the Wind", was also released.
The film is starring Cha Tae-hyun, and it is also his second time playing a costume role.
Originally, when he took over this play, some people were worried about whether he could play the costume image. Unexpectedly, after putting on makeup and putting on a beard, there was no sense of disobedience. It is not obtrusive at all when he wears an ancient costume, not only that, but also highlights Cha Taehyun's unique comedy temperament, which makes people look forward to the release of the film. This gave the Phantom a big boost in confidence.
As a well-known actor in South Korea, Cha Tae-hyun has always had a high box office appeal, and last year's "Scandal" with Phantom also achieved 8oo million viewers. He has no shortage of acting. This time, he took this scene, firstly, in the spirit of repaying his kindness, and the phantom warmly invited his brother Che Zhixian to be the producer.
Working with his own brother, he can't refuse.
When the movie was released, "League of Thieves" dominated the weekly championship for four consecutive weeks in the first month of the summer. But the screening arrangement has been set a long time ago, and I can't change it if I want to, so I can only release it head-on.
The Phantom tried its best to promote the film, and before the release of the film, it held a large-scale preview screening of 50,000 people not only in Gyeonggi, Daejeon, Daegu, Busan, Gwangju and other places, which was also an unprecedented feat in the history of Korean film preview screenings.
In addition to the box office guarantee brought by the actor Cha Tae-hyun, the film also gathered the powerful representatives of various eras of Zhongmuro to join, and Han Chaeyoung, who entered through the back door, also has a very good appearance.
As a result, this movie, which was released under the frenzy of "Thieves", achieved unexpectedly good results, exceeding 3oo million viewers in only 12 days. A week later, it once again exceeded 4oo viewers to watch the movie.
On the third weekend after the release of "Gone with the Wind", 16,843 viewers were mobilized nationwide on that day, and the cumulative number of viewers reached 4oo7,623. At the time of the film's drawing, according to the statistics of the Korea Film Promotion Commission, the movie "Gone with the Wind" had a total audience of 4,8341oo as of September 9, 2o12.
This result can rank among the top three Korean historical dramas, and it is more likely to enter the top five of the annual box office of Korean local films.
Joy Run!
The successor to "Gone with the Wind" is "Gwanghae, the Man Who Became the King" starring South Korean celebrity Lee Byung-hun.
Lee Dong-rae invited Lee Byung-hun to star in the Phantom movie at the celebration banquet last year. He agreed without much thought, and this time he really gave him a good reward.
The film is a historical masterpiece based on the plot of King Gwanghae of North Korea, in order to escape the palace conspiracy of being poisoned, and exchanging identities with civilians who look like him. The movie will reveal the secret of the Joseon Dynasty in the 8th year of Gwanghae-kun. The truth that disappeared for 15 days. Lee Byung-hun, who starred in costume works for the second time, played two roles.
The script of this play was played by Huang Chaoyun, the screenwriter of "Old Boy", and was caught by Li Donglai among many scripts.
Then An Shuzhen began to operate, including selecting a director to build the crew. The original director was Kang Woo-suk's, but he admired other actors who had played with him more in the selection of the leading role, and he had a disagreement with the Phantom. The starring role was personally decided by Li Donglai, and An Shuzhen naturally did not dare to change it. In the end, Qiu Changmin had to replace the director.
The heroine is a popular Korean actress, played by the very innocent Han Hyo-joo, and there is no shortage of bed scenes between Han Hyo-joo and Lee Byung-hun in the film.
is also indispensable for the grand publicity plan, Lee Byung-hun was originally one of the top actors in South Korea, and he played a very likable ninja role in both Hollywood blockbusters "Special Forces", and his popularity in South Korea has increased.
As a result, this "Sea of Light. "The Man Who Became the King" broke through the 2oo audience mark in 5 days after being staged in South Korea, ranking first steadily.
Since its release in Korea on September 13, "Gwanghae: The Man Who Became the King" has been screened 35oo times in 712 cinemas across the country, with a full capacity rate of more than 6%. The most rare thing is that "Guanghai: The Man Who Became the King" can still exceed 2oo viewers within 5 days of its performance after the end of the summer vacation, which is a remarkable achievement.
You must know that even "League of Thieves", which is the No. 1 grossing film in South Korea, took a week to break through 2oo viewers. The movie is released. It has received rave reviews not only in Korea, but also at the Arab Film Festival, Vietnam-Korea Film Festival, French-Korean Film Festival, and Anglo-Korean Film Festival.
has been released for 14 consecutive weeks, and it still attracts many fans.
According to a report by the Korea Film Promotion Council, "Gwanghae" mobilized 221,229 viewers in South Korea on January 2o, bringing the total number of viewers to 141,566. It took only 38 days for "Light Sea" to break through the 10 million movie viewing mark from its release, 7 days faster than "The King's Man", which ranked third in the Korean box office list, and the same as "Inception 3D" breaking through the 10 million movie viewing mark in South Korea.
Moreover, the other tens of millions of movie-watching movies before "Sea of Light" were all released in the peak box office season of summer and winter, while "Sea of Light" is a film released in September in the off-season of the box office in South Korea, and it can also break through the 10 million movie-watching mark.
Eventually, "Sea of Light. The Man Who Became the King" surpassed "The King's Man" with a total of 123o million 4ooo viewers. Within this year, it is second only to the other movie "League of Thieves" of the same company, and it can rank second at the annual box office without any suspense.
is another 10-million-level movie, and the Phantom of Korea will dominate the top two Korean movie box office charts for three consecutive years...... Perhaps the first three.
Among the many companies in South Korea, Xijie Entertainment, Lotte Entertainment, Shobox, NE, etc. have failed this time. They obviously won't sit back and wait for the Phantom to grow and bring the Korean market into control little by little.
A few days ago, it was reported that the four major film investment companies are currently preparing to produce a big movie, which will be released next year.
The release schedule is still under wraps, but there is no doubt that it is for the Phantom of Korea.
Next year, they will gather a collective return of top stars and famous directors, and with their many years of connections and strength, they will shake the embarrassing situation of the Phantom continuously dominating the charts.
Because Koreans know that the phantom belongs to Lee Donglai.
Although many people want Lee Donglai to become Korean, Lee Donglai is still Chinese, and there is still a gap between Korean Phantom and South Korea. So next year's battle is also called the battle of the rise by many stubborn media.
But if you think that this year's situation in Korean movies is like this, you are wrong!
