On April 3, South Korea's Xijie Entertainment Co., Ltd. announced the start of filming of the film "Typhoon" with the largest investment in 04, directed by South Korean director Guo Jingze, South Korea's national actor, and Zhang Dongjian, one of the Korean troikas.

15 billion won is the largest investment in South Korea, and the director and cast are unprecedentedly strong.

And someone with a heart calculated it and found that unless someone postpones the release, two movies with similar shooting times will eventually meet in the summer vacation.

"Li Lin's new movie "The King's Man" encountered the national actor Zhang Dongjian's "Typhoon", and the future is worrying!"

In the newspaper, the headline of the big thorn directly indicated that Li Lin's new film would suffer a fiasco, and no one would believe that the combination of the great director Guo Jingze and the national actor Zhang Dongjian would lose to the combination of Li Lin and Li Junyi, and the investment gap between the two was too big.

"There's no hope." Li Junyi is very pessimistic, "How could "Typhoon" start filming at this time. ”

Typhoon?

Li Lin glanced at the cast, Dong Jian, Lee Jung-jae, and Lee Mi-yeon, and he suddenly sneered, "I didn't expect to encounter "Typhoon". ”

In the previous life, Typhoon was a masterpiece in 05, and it was favored by many media, thinking that this movie would sweep the Spring Festival stalls, but no one thought that "Typhoon" was swept, but not "Typhoon" swept others, but others swept "Typhoon".

And it was "The King's Man" that swept "Typhoon".

This movie, which received rave reviews and created the trend of Korean beautiful men in style, was matched with "Typhoon", which immediately crushed "Typhoon" and scared a group of people.

Unexpectedly, this time and space, "The King's Man" was advanced to 04 years. And "Typhoon" also followed to 04.

"Is it a fateful duel?" Li Lin raised his chin slightly, "But whether it's a fateful duel or what, since "Typhoon" is against "The King's Man". Just crush it. ”

"Don't worry." Li Junyi saw Li Lin silent, and thought that Li Lin was scared, so he hurriedly encouraged Li Lin, "Movies are not won by whoever invests big, who is famous, and who has a high status." ”

"It is not unheard of in history that a small boat overturned a big ship, like in foreign countries. So many small-budget films still achieve high box office, which proves that the film market is changing. ”

"I'm not worried." Li Lin said with a smile: "I think it's you who is worried, but you were worried at that time." ”

Li Junyi smiled bitterly when he heard this. "I am really worried, the investment is the largest, the national actor joined, and it is the new work of the great director Guo Jingze. It's stressful. ”

Guo Jingze. One of the great Korean directors, the movie shot as early as 01 won the Korean annual box office champion, and his movie is a hit, and he is a very high status in the circle of Korean directors.

As long as he said that he wanted to make a movie, there were immediately a large number of investors with money to invest.

"Don't be stressed, just shoot well." Li Lin encouraged.

He really isn't worried that "Typhoon" will overwhelm "The King's Man", the "King's Man" in this time and space is stronger than the lineup in the previous time and space. At least in his previous life, Li Junji, the star of "The King's Man", was just a newcomer, but Li Lin was the king of Asia. The popularity is very high, and the attention of the two is not at the same level.

"Hopefully!" Li Junyi smiled bitterly.

On June 19th, "The King's Man" was the first to be completed, and then "Typhoon" was announced, no one wanted to release it in advance, and everyone was waiting for the start of the summer vacation.

The box office number of non-summer vacation files and summer vacation files is not on the same level.

However, "Typhoon" is ambitious and wants to dominate the summer vacation, while "The King's Man" was pressed by Li Lin to go to the summer vacation.

In fact, "The King's Man" was completed in early June, and all that remains is post-processing and editing.

In order to make this movie achieve the effect of his previous life, Li Lin deliberately pressed Li Junyi to revise the movie and reshoot several scenes.

On June 28, as the summer vacation approached, "Korean Film Magazine" took the lead in opening the poll of "who is the most popular movie", and 455 votes topped the list, becoming the most anticipated movie among Korean fans.

At this time, everyone felt that they had guessed the ending, no one would be optimistic about "The King's Man", in various evaluations, "The King's Man" box office is expected to give a high score, but the expectation is very low, Korean media said that the reason why the box office of "The King's Man" is expected to be high is entirely due to Li Lin's popularity and early hype.

also said that in the hype of the Asian king's self-love, "The King's Man" will get a good box office, but fans' expectations for Li Lin will also be overdrawn because of this.

and said that the box office of this movie will be good, but Li Lin's popularity will plummet.

In July, the summer vacation was fully opened, and South Korea's "Typhoon" and "The King's Man" were filmed immediately after experiencing publicity, and like the media, the theater chain was very optimistic about "Typhoon", as for "The King's Man", although the film schedule was also given, neither the number nor the quality of the theater line was comparable to "Typhoon", and it was completely exploded by "Typhoon".

In the Seoul Cinema, a big "Typhoon" poster is placed on it, the poster of "The King's Man" is pitifully small, and the "Poster" is not as delicate as "Typhoon", only Li Lin is standing on top of the palace in a costume, and the big "King's Man" occupies a quarter of the country.

"Watch 'Typhoon.'"

A Korean student happily looked at the poster of "Typhoon" and was very happy, "The combination of Zhang Dongjian and Guo Jingze will definitely not disappoint us." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a scream, and it was his girlfriend who screamed, "Watch "The King's Man", Li Lin looks so handsome, so demonic, I like it so much." ”

Before he could react, he saw his girlfriend coming over with two movie tickets, "Let's watch "The King's Man" today. ”

Then, he was dragged into the theater.

Before the release, no one guessed what kind of miracle "The King's Man" would stage, so what happened that night shocked a lot of media. Actor, the jaw of the theater.

"The King's Man" set a record of 9.23 points, becoming the highest-rated film in Korean history. directly broke the 9.21 score record of "Tai Chi Flag Flying", which was released at the end of 03 and early 04.

You must know that "Tai Chi Flag Flying" is a masterpiece of the great Korean director Jiang Digui after a 5-year absence after "Life and Death", and once entered the international market, even Huaxia has heard the reputation of this movie, and even some directors are ready to adapt this movie.

But he hasn't spent a year setting a record, no. It was half a year, and it was directly broken by "The King's Man", and it was refreshed to 9.23 points.

That same evening. "The King's Man" had more than 200,000 viewers, breaking the record of "Life and Death", and in the following week, "The King's Man" exceeded one million viewers. once again refreshed the record of "Life and Death Spy".

In the same period, "Typhoon" was swept by "The King's Man" as an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves. This movie was also good at the box office, but the bad word-of-mouth movie finally couldn't hold up and began to rout in an all-round way.

At the beginning of the second week, the number of theatrical releases of "Typhoon" was reduced, and on the other hand, "The King's Man" began to expand its theaters, and the two films joined forces to occupy 80% of South Korea's film schedule.

"An inexplicable movie." Korean netizens gave "Typhoon" four stars, "One star for Jang Dongjian, one star for Lee Jung-jae, one star for the last little **...... Most of the plot of the movie is inexplicable, I don't understand, what the hell do you want to say, Koreans, North Koreans, Chinese, Thai, Russians, Americans...... Embarrassment.! ”

Still four stars. Korean netizen Zha Mingzhu commented: "Who are you? For whom? Koreans, Chinese. Russians, Americans, Thais, and it seems, Austrians...... What the hell do you want to say?? The story is so messy! The four stars are all given to the pirate version of Zhang Dongjian, whose eyes are too ruthless and dramatic. ”

"This film is ruthless, and it almost scolded several countries in the Six-Party Talks...... over and over again."

The counterpart to "Typhoon" is "The King's Man", which has received almost rave reviews.

"A very good-looking movie, Li Lin with the same flowers, Kong Ji with the same flowers."

"The director should be grateful to Li Lin, maybe only he can play Kong Ji so pitifully......

"This is the power of orthodox historical drama."

South Korean film critic Choi Jung-chuan posted a long comment on the Internet, "The gorgeous historical drama "The King's Man", which delicately describes the protagonists' respective ambitions, breaks through the realm of history and fiction, and is more suitable for the taste of modern people." The movie does not describe the historical figures Yan Shanjun and Lu Shui, who often appear in TV dramas, as complete tyrants and witches, but vividly shows their hidden inner loneliness and pain. ”

"In addition, some of the words of Li Lin's character Kong Ji in the play are completely based on the original words in historical documents, so the image of Kong Ji is more realistically portrayed."

Soon, "The King's Man" reached 2 million viewers, and this was only 9 days, and its single film accounted for 60% of the week's movie market, which means that during this week, "Typhoon" and other local films and Hollywood movies combined did not surpass "The King's Man" at the box office.

On July 20th, "The King's Man" was released for 20 days, breaking the box office of Li Lin's previous movie "Memories of Murder" and becoming the No. 1 box office movie in Li Lin's film history, and this is just the beginning.

At the beginning of the fourth week, South Korean President Kim Dae-jung personally went to the theater to watch "The King's Man", and then, Kim Dae-jung's successor, Roh Moo-hyun, who is about to take over the president, went to the South Korean theater to watch "The King's Man" and praised it as a "flower-like historical drama".

His words made the entire Korean media a sensation, the title of 'Boys Over Flowers' was officially buckled on Li Lin's head, and the words 'Boys Over Flowers' were everywhere on the pages of the Korean media, and the Korean Plastic Surgery Hospital put Li Lin's face on the recommendation table, and it didn't take long for a large number of Korean versions of Li Lin to appear in South Korea, which the media called 'Li Lin Syndrome'.

Korean singers began to learn from Li Lin's appearance and painted themselves with a 'demon' face, and the whole of Korea was full of neutral beauty, as if overnight, South Korea had reached the era of 'neutral beauty'.

At the same time, Li Lin's album, the original work "Er" of "The King's Man", Li Lin's posters, and Li Lin's endorsed goods are all sold out in South Korea, which economists call the 'Li Lin effect'.

South Korea's Samsung, South Korea's Hyundai, and South Korea's SK's three top consortia all sent endorsement invitations to Li Lin, offering 11 billion won for three years, 11.3 billion won for three years, and 12.4 billion won for three years, breaking the Korean endorsement record, breaking the Asian endorsement record, and becoming Li Lin's endorsement with the highest endorsement amount, Li Lin then chose Samsung.
