Rebirth of the Director in Korea

On August 29, since its release on August 4, as of August 29, the audience has exceeded 5 million, which is the highest attendance rate in South Korea in 2005 The film, and squeezed into the top five box office in the history of Korean film.

Time enters September. In terms of time, although the summer season is over, a battle about the box office has just begun.

The “Honor of the Family 2-Family Crisis” is set on September 7. The “House” series of movies began in 2002, the first “The Family” starring Jung Joon-ho and *** “Honor” achieved a box office record of 5.2 million movie viewers at the time. It was the first time that the movie “Jiamen” was on the big screen again in three years. After all, the number of viewers of 1st Step reached 5 million. How can such a profitable series be so profitable? There is no sequel.

In addition, comedy movies like this kind can always arouse the audience’s watching**. Although it has not yet been released, the popularity of “Honor of Family 2-Family Crisis” can already be expected.

Apart from this, there is a long-awaited movie to be released on September 8th, which is the movie “Out” starring Bae Yong-joon and Son Ye-jin. On September 8, it was obvious that “Out of Home” and “Honor of Home 2” formed a battlefield.

In addition, “You Are My Fate” starring Jeon Doyeon and Hwang Jung-min also set the schedule in September, although compared with the previous two, the schedule is slightly delayed and set in September On the 23rd, but even so, “You Are My Fate” and “Out of Home” and “Honor of Family 2” still have a certain competitive relationship, and the final box office results are really not easy to say.

Because of these three films, September, which was originally a little peaceful, was suddenly covered with a smoke of gunpowder. The originally peaceful film industry seemed to have become a battlefield incarnation, and several films competed in real thing. Now, no one is going to let anyone!

For three consecutive weeks, “Welcome to Dongmakgol” has been dominating the weekly list of movie viewers, but after all, “the old emperor is old, the new emperor is enthroned”, these movies released in September The common goal of the film is to pull “Welcome to Dongmakgol” off the horse. As for who can become the champion of these films, I will say two things. Anyway, “Welcome to Dongmakgol” cannot be allowed to continue. Their common enemy This is the movie.

“Going Out”, “Honor of Home 2” and “You Are My Fate” belong to different distribution companies. Where there are rivers and lakes, there are struggles. This is no exception in the film industry. If said 8 If the month belongs to “Welcome to Dongmakgol”, then when the time enters into September, first is the beginning of “Home Honor 2 Home Crisis”, “Going Out” follow closely from behind, the two movies will inevitably be divided into “Welcome to Dongmakgol” The number of screens of “Welcome to Dongmakgol” has been affected by this, and the number of viewers in the first week of September has a clear downward trend.

Despite the fierce impact of such a dream, “Welcome to Dongmakgol” still achieved the second place in the weekly list of movie viewers in the first week of September, and the first place was awarded by the “Honor of Family”. “2 Family Crisis” won with a good score of 1.12 million. As for “Going Out” starring Bae Yong-joon and Son Ye-jin, the number of viewers in the first week was less than 100,000, which is the same as Bae Yong-joon’s Asian superstar. The title of ‘doesn’t match at all.

The theaters and theater representatives are very realistic. Seeing that Bae Yong-joon’s “Outing” can’t bring many viewers, the screen originally allocated to it has inevitably reduced a lot, on average. They were given out to “Honor of Family 2” and “Welcome to Dongmakgol”, which was like a pie in the sky, which made the publishing company of “Honor of Family 2” a great joy.

……………………………………….. ….

When the movie “Welcome to Dongmakgol” was released 1 month later, the first payment of the film’s box office had already hit the company’s books, 6.6 billion, which sounded very pleasant. digital. You know, Jung Hyuk-jae’s investment in this movie is only about 3.7 billion yuan. Even if it is robbing the bank, it is not so fast. This is how long it takes, from the preparation of the movie to the release. In just half a year, the funding has almost doubled, and this amount is just the box office share that’s all this month. Judging from the current attendance rate and the audience’s praise, it will take another month and a half to show. Not a problem.

Even if a movie is good-looking, its freshness is past, attendance is always a problem. Take “Welcome to Dongmakgol” as an example, in the first two weeks of its screening, major theaters in Seoul Almost all screenings can reach a 100% attendance rate, and only a few days later, the attendance rate is only 60%.

The attendance rate is closely related to the number of movie viewers. After all, there are only a few screens. If the attendance rate is high, the number of movie viewers will naturally increase, and vice versa. As a benchmark in the film industry in 2005, the attendance rate of properly speaking “Welcome to Dongmakgol” is already very good. For example, the attendance rate of the previous films has fallen below 40% after a week. Even if the movie looks good, the final result It’s not particularly ideal either.

“Welcome to Dongmakgol” is already a very good movie. It can be seen that the attendance rate can still be maintained at 60% two weeks after its release. The goal of this movie is 10 million. As for It is not easy to say whether it can reach ten million. After all, there are many factors that affect the movie, and there are many movies released in September, especially the impact of several Hollywood blockbusters. It can only be said that everything is random.

According to CJ.E&M’s idea, this week still needs to promote the movie, whether it’s the actors on the program and the announcement, or making the news headlines, this week is the most critical week. Whether the final number of movie viewers can break through tens of millions, this week is the most critical.

Even under the impact of “Honor of the House 2”, “Welcome to Dongmakgol” still firmly dominates the headlines of the news, and the most eye-catching one is naturally the film director Park Kwang-hyun The news of a passionate relationship with Kang Hye-jung, the heroine in the film.

On the evening of August 29th, a reporter photographed the two people entering a certain hotel together before and after they were alone for five hours before leaving at 12 o’clock in the evening. After the parking lot merged, Park Kwang-hyun personally drove her back downstairs to the rented apartment.

As an insider and insider, Jung Hyuk-jae is very clear about the entire process of development of this news. CJ.E&M is naturally behind the news, but if Saying that the relationship between Kang Hye-jung and Park Kwang-hyun was still pretending, then things developed differently after a few days, and the two people did a fake show!

A successful director who is only thirty-five years old and the other is a young actress who is twenty-three years old. There is a spark of love between the two. Jung Hyuk-jae is not surprised at all , You must know that Park Kwang-hyun is currently an extremely powerful and arrogant director in the circle. The rich and powerful naturally attract the attention of women.

If it is excusable to pretend to be before, then when this scene is really done, the development of things is somewhat unexpected. Someone dug up a photo of Kang Hye-jung shopping with a man in disguise last year. Although these two people can’t be seen clearly in the photo, they are very similar to Kang Hye-jung’s body, and the man in the photo is more It is a bit familiar, and some people claimed that the man in the photo had not broken up when the relationship between Kang Hye-jung and Park Kwang-hyun broke out.

This is great. News about this gossip flooded the front page headlines of the entertainment industry instantly. Some netizens scolded Kang Hye-jung for being carefree, others scolded Park Kwang-hyun, as for the photos. The man in, everyone responded with sympathy.

Not long after the news broke, someone in the know pointed out that That Man in the photo was the actor Cho Seung-woo in the circle. Once the news broke, reporters called or rushed to Cho. Seung-woo’s brokerage firm sought to verify the authenticity of the matter. Seeing this, Cho Seung-woo’s manager immediately stood up and said that the two of them knew a normal friendship, and there was nothing between them. Please don’t write anything indiscriminately. Random reports.

As for the brokerage company, these reporters simply wouldn’t believe it. Only when they believe in their mouths are there ghosts. Because they have been unable to contact Cho Seung-woo, the reporters turned their heads and looked at them. The other two protagonists in the incident – Park Kwang-hyun and Kang Hye-jung.

Do you think the relationship between news and movie box office is big? Just look at the number of moviegoers in these two days, because Park Kwang-hyun and Kang Hye-jung’s love for news broke out. , The attendance rate immediately increased by 8%, it can be said that the effect is quite obvious.

CJ.E&M can imagine that other issuing companies are naturally not stupid. They are all things that everyone has used. There is nothing they can’t do, and there is nothing that hasn’t been seen before. Everyone admires this time. Behind this news hype is the shadow of CJ.E&M. Then the news of Kang Hye-jung and Cho Seung-woo is exposed, and there are naturally other people behind it, otherwise there will be no such turmoil.

Because of this incident, Kang Hye-jung’s manager immediately came out to refute the rumors, and Park Kwang-hyun also had people from CJ.E&M to help deal with it, and strive to minimize the impact of this incident and prevent bad things. Turn into something good.

“Hyuk-jae-ssi, do you have time today?”

When Park Kwang-hyun’s call came in, Jung Hyuk-jae was writing about himself A newly created script. I connected to the phone. Listening to the voice of Park Kwang-hyun on the other end of the phone, Jung Hyuk-jae actually heard a slight depression in his mood. Obviously, he was in response to the news and reporter interviews over the past two days. , Park Kwang-hyun was so exhausted that his mind was about to blow up.

I heard Park Kwang-hyun’s emotional depression, Jung Hyuk-jae just shook the head and didn’t say anything. After all, he was not easy to say about this matter. When you say that the corner loves you, things are about the love of men and women, how can you be an outsider to say, “How can you not care about yourself” in the south? Or is the woman a bit’cheap’?

“What’s the matter?” After hearing what he said, Jung Hyuk-jae immediately got up and said; “Is something wrong with the movie screening?”

“No!” Park Kwang-hyun shook the head, knowing in his heart that although this is a good thing, but I don’t know why I’m happy in my heart does not raise.

“What the hell is going on? ?” Upon hearing Park Kwang-hyun’s words, Jung Hyuk-jae hurriedly asked.

“This afternoon, I just called the Film Promotion Committee just now, saying that our films are tired of this year’s Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film!” Having said that, Park Kwang-hyun’s The words brought a trace of excitement, and then he said.

“Really?”

Although it has its own variables, the trajectory of history is not bad. “Welcome to Dongmakgol” won the Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film. In Jung Hyuk-jae’s view, it is like chicken ribs, which belongs to the kind of award of “the tastelessness of food, it is a pity to discard it”.

Because Jung Hyuk-jae knows very well that in the end, this movie is impossible to win the best foreign language film award. You must know that in the movie, Park Kwang-hyun is a lot of black “American father”. How could Oscar choose this movie as the best foreign language film?

……………………………………

“Belonging to Victory”

‘This year’s domestic movies have received Many foreign films have been attacked, but summarizing the ranking list of the domestic box office in 2005, the top four are still their own works, and the first place is “Welcome to Dongmakgol”, which represented South Korea and won the Oscar for the best foreign language film. , This war film starring Jiang Hye-jeong and Shin Ha-kyun also defeated the “Kind Gold” and “Outing” starring the big stars.

Among the 20 highest-grossing domestic movies in the first half of this year, 14 were South Korea movies. Domestic audiences have always been fond of North and South Korea war movies. After the best-selling “Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War”, this year’s box office champion is another war film “Welcome to Dongmakgol”…………..’

Taking advantage of this shareholder enthusiasm, CJ.E&M immediately changed the subject, hoping that the Oscar ethos could cover the rumors between the three. After all, it would have an impact on everyone’s career. Speaking of the number of viewers in the final movie, the scandal even had a great impact on the career of the heroine Kang Hye-jung. Fortunately, the news of the Oscar nomination came in time and it was not too late.
