China Entertainment 2000.

Chapter 215: In just one day, it broke three major box office records in South Korea

Taiwan Province, Hong Kong, and South Korea.

The premieres of "Monster" in the three regions were only three days apart.

Jiang Liu didn't think much about it. After finishing the promotion in the mainland, he went straight to South Korea, which has the largest population and is the most likely to have a box office miracle.

He said it had been four years since his debut.

However, among the four films produced in the past four years, "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger" has not received much attention outside the mainland, and has even been despised.

It took a long time for "Mobile Phone" to be sold to Hong Kong and Taiwan, but the result was that it was not adapted to the local conditions and the box office was only a few hundred thousand, which is hard to describe.

"Pirates" was a box office hit in the Mainland. Emperor took the initiative and bought the copyright from several producers early in an attempt to make a fortune in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

However, there are unforeseen circumstances, and people have misfortunes and misfortunes.

The release schedule chosen by Emperor for "Pirates" was too bad. "Pirates" had just been released after all the efforts, and was rushed into production, causing Emperor to lose blood.

Four films were made, one was not recognized and two failed in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

When it's "Monster"'s turn, it's obvious which region Jiang Liu focuses on promoting.

Not to mention him, Emperor Yang, who refused to admit defeat and once again assumed the distribution rights of "Monster" in Hong Kong and Taiwan Province, also said that Jiang Liu was not compatible with Hong Kong and Taiwan Province, and advised Jiang Liu to go to South Korea for promotion first.

Jiang Liu himself had the same plan, not to mention Li Meijing's urging calls one after another.

Therefore, on the eve of the release of "House of Flying Daggers", he flew to South Korea with Jiang Wen, Lu Yi and others before he had time to watch Zhang Weiping's show.

"Lao Jiang, take a break, and you'll be on the show when the time comes."

On the passenger plane, Jiang Liu persuaded Jiang Wendao.

After getting on the plane, Jiang Wen, Gao Damao and Lu Yi chatted hurriedly about resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea.

He was born in a large courtyard, and he had known many things since he was a child. He had a nose and an eye when he talked about it, which kept several people awake and looking at Jiang Wen in confusion.

"What show is on?"

"Funny variety show."

Jiang Wen said in disbelief: "Are you kidding me to go on a show like this?"

Jiang Liu choked back and said, "Otherwise you expect me to be funny on the show?"

Film promotion in South Korea is somewhat different from that in China.

A small part of Korean promotional films are promoted through road shows.

Most of the time I rely on TV shows for promotion.

South Korea's entertainment industry is developed and there are countless good entertainment programs. Many people love and are keen to watch comedy variety shows. The effect of participating in variety shows to promote movies is extremely effective.

There are currently relatively few variety shows in China, and people are keen on following TV series. To promote movies, they mainly rely on road shows in cities and on-site canvassing for votes.

As a film director, Jiang Liu should naturally participate in road shows to promote and interact with the audience.

It's a bit too much to let him participate in a comedy variety show and be ridiculed.

His status in Korea is at the level of the president of a large company. Once he is teased inappropriately by variety actors on a comedy show, he and the company will lose face.

"Let Lu Yi go. I am so old that I am going to make jokes. How can I still have the nerve to return to China?" Jiang Wen threw the problem to Lu Yi.

Lu Yi was very depressed: "I can't speak Korean."

Jiang Wen's attitude was extremely resolute, so Jiang Liu had no choice but to say to Lu Yi: "An interpreter will be arranged at that time, so don't be mentally burdened and just have fun."

"After all, you are an actor by background, and the Korean entertainment industry has a clear hierarchy. Generally, variety actors do not dare to make things difficult for Chungmulu actors on variety shows, and they just play games with them."

The matter was irreversible, so Lu Yi had no choice but to nod: "Okay, I'll listen to the two directors."

It only takes two hours to fly to Seoul, the magical capital, and it will arrive in a blink of an eye.

Jiang Liu and his party got off the passenger plane, and Li Meijing was already waiting outside the airport.

"Director Jiang, congratulations, "Monster" is doing very well at the box office in China, and the pre-sales for tonight's test screening in South Korea are also very good. I believe it will become Director Jiang's second movie in South Korea to exceed 500 million viewers." "Pre-sales Is it selling well? What’s the pre-sale rate?”

Li Meijing said with a smile on her face: "99%."

Jiang Wen, Lu Yi, and Jiang Liu all looked at the slightly taller Li Meijing: "President Li, are you kidding me?"

"No kidding, Director Jiang, Director Jiang Wen, please get in the car and we'll have a chat in the car."

After getting on the minibus, Li Meijing switched to more fluent Korean and introduced Jiang Liu about the promotion of "Han River Monster".

She and everyone at CJ Entertainment are also very optimistic about the box office prospects of "Monster". Jiang Liu plus Bong Joon Ho, "Pirates" plus "Memories of Murder", "Monster" can have more than 500 million moviegoers at the box office.

But the pre-sale box office still surprised Li Meijing and others.

South Korean people are even more optimistic about "Monster" than they are. With the promotion of Bong Joon Ho and Bae Doo Na, all 10 tickets for the preview screening on the eve of the film's premiere were sold out.

"You're saying that as long as the audience is satisfied with the quality of "Monster", the movie will have a huge impact on tens of millions of moviegoers?"

"Yes, since the second half of last year, South Korea has had two movies with box office attendances exceeding 10 million, namely "Silmido" and "Taegeukgi". The quality of "Monster" is not bad, and I believe the people will be satisfied."

"I hope so." Jiang Liu raised his eyebrows unconsciously.

He made "Monster" just to break the Korean box office record, otherwise why would he work so hard?

Li Meijing took Jiang Liu and her group directly to the KBS TV station they had contacted.

Together with Bong Joon-ho and Bae Doo-na, everyone spent several hours recording a talk show. South Korea has just begun to show off, and the preview screening before the premiere of "Monster" will begin soon.

Jiang Liu found an excuse to separate from the others and picked up Son Ye-jin, whom he had not seen for a long time, in Cheongdam-dong.

After he landed in South Korea, he made an appointment with Son Ye-jin to secretly watch the preview screening of "Monster" together.

When the two met, they were transported to Java at a preview screening or something.

Driving the car back to Xixi Huajian Villa in a dangerous manner, the two of them started to stage thunder and fire from the courtyard, all the way to the living room and the bedroom.

"Buzz."

"Oppa, Sarah hey!"

"Me too, but I still let Oppa answer the phone first."

The next morning, Jiang Liu dotingly turned over the naked Son Yejin and found the cell phone on the floor, which kept ringing in his trouser pocket.

"Director Jiang, where are you? The preview screening of "Monster" last night was watched by 15 people. The movie has officially premiered. I will send someone to pick you up now to record the program. There will be promotion in the afternoon."

Li Meijing was so excited that her words were somewhat inconsistent.

"I'm in Qingtan Cave. I'll go back later."

Putting down the phone, Jiang Liu took a bite of Son Yejin's pink chest and asked curiously: "The 15 preview screenings are very high?"

Son Ye-jin's screams stopped abruptly, and she looked in admiration and said in surprise: "Wow, Oppa, very, very tall!"

Jiang Liu was not sure how high Son Ye-jin's "Very Very High" was. Only when he saw Lee Meijing did he realize that 15 moviegoers broke the Korean test screening record.

The full name of this record in South Korea is: the largest audience (15 people) at a preview screening on the eve of release.

Moreover, the pre-sale rate of 99% at the preview screening of "Monster" is also a new box office record in South Korea.

On the same day, Friday, July 7, "Monster" premiered in 16 theaters in South Korea.

One day passed in the blink of an eye.

On the morning of a new day, Jiang Liu and Son Ye-jin are having a close relationship, Lee Meijing is searching for someone on her mobile phone again, and "Monster" broke the record at the Korean box office again, with the largest number of viewers (79) on its premiere day.

Just one day after its release in South Korea, "Monster" broke three box office records in South Korea.

　South Korea's record-breaking data is the real data of "The Monster of the Han River", but it is the data of 06, two years ahead of time in the book.
