MTL - Spiritualist In Korea-Chapter 683 set a record
"Train to Busan" seems to be an overnight hit!
There are a lot of friends in the circle of friends. The movie Amway is proud to show off after grabbing the tickets for the preview... The word of mouth has skyrocketed for several days, and the audience who can't see it has to complain about N.E.W. This time, instead of scolding them, let them hurry up and release them on a large scale.
As for "Deadly Virus", the box office remains stable despite comparisons, and it has now surpassed one million viewers, but this is completely attracted by the fame of Kang Youshuo and Song Kanghao. Originally, the estimated number of viewers would exceed 5 million, but showbox has lowered its expectations, and it is God's blessing to be able to exceed 2 million.
The popularity of the film has also attracted the attention of many people in the industry.
After watching it quietly, there is nothing to say.
Are there any technological innovations in "Train to Busan"? Or is the subject matter new and attractive? No, this is a Hollywood-style script, coupled with Korean drama-style dog blood, the screenwriter let the leading actors hang up one by one in order to sensationalize, and finally even the male lead is no exception.
Can they film it?
Of course you can, but in the final analysis, the script is well written. Of course, Li Huishi's directing skills are not bad, and Li Mo's script was well shot into a movie.
And Li Mo's metaphor in the film that the incompetence of the Korean government will lead to such a tragedy in the film, which really hit the audience's G-spot. Like American Dad's so-called democratic politics, it is always the government that does the wrong thing, and the government is always to blame. In short, as long as the government is wrong, the economic environment is still so bad in the new year, and ordinary people in South Korea are naturally full of anger.
Some public figures in South Korea also used Li Mo as an example to criticize the government's corruption and incompetence. It is said that Li Mo, a foreigner, can see the mistakes in it, and the 'meat eaters' in high positions still go their own way.
For this point, Li Mo firmly refused to admit that he meant to criticize the South Korean government. He is just a small businessman, just sneak a metaphor, who would stand up stupidly?
He will continue to make money in Korea.
But soon, Li Mo and others will face a difficult choice: should they give up the month-long trial screening to accumulate word-of-mouth, or continue to persevere?
"I think we must continue to persevere. Disruption of the planned plan will not only affect the follow-up work, but also negotiate with the theater company again at the same time. There are too many uncertain factors." Choi Jong-soo originally Aggressive character, but at this time he insisted on a conservative attitude.
The more popular "Train to Busan" is, the more cautious it is. If this movie, which seemed to be soaring, died due to improper operation, it would not be described as distressed.
"No, both cj-m and Lotte Entertainment have contacted me, hoping to release the movie on a large scale as soon as possible. There are too many test screenings, which may cause some audiences to become bored with the movie. After all, no one wants to be hung up on their appetites. ."
"Are they willing to arrange a golden schedule for "Train to Busan"?"
"Of course, their evaluation department has boosted Train to Busan's box office forecast to 8 million viewers."
Cui Zhongxiu turned his attention to Li Mo who was doing nothing and was turning his pen, "President Li, what is your opinion?"
This emergency meeting also brought Li Mo in.
"The fastest they can arrange a large-scale release?"
"Early February for sure."
Li Mo raised his brows, "If the schedule can be arranged within a week, and the best time slot and the most games are requested. In this case, I have no opinion."
These two are the most difficult points, but the senior management of N.E.W company agrees with this suggestion. Now they are taking the initiative. If CJ-M and Lotte are not satisfied, the big deal will go as planned.
Who knew that CJ-M and Lotte agreed immediately, and with the efforts of both parties, they did their best to prepare for the large-scale release.
On February 5th, "Train to Busan" landed in major theaters.
The actor Jiang Dongyuan has already served in the military camp, and he simply does not do anything like the premiere ceremony. However, the publicity still has to be done well, and all the leading actors have gone to several places within a few days. The VIP screenings of the day were even more star-studded. CJ-M and Lotte two cinema companies joined forces, and the stars were naturally happy to join in, and at the same time, they wanted to watch such a popular movie for the first time.
Although there was no premiere and no red carpet. However, a large number of reporters and movie fans gathered outside the theaters of VIP screenings, cheering for a while when a star arrived, unaffected by the low temperature outside.
Kang Youshuo and Huang Junyu were also wrapped like zongzi and wore masks, so basically no one could recognize them.
Of course he didn’t come to the cinema to watch his own movie. He had part of the reason why “Deadly Virus” did not perform well: he was in a hurry. And many of the ideas came to me after reading the half of Li Mo's script, picking up people's teeth and making them in a hurry, it seems no accident that they encountered Waterloo.
But Kang Youshuo held his breath in his heart. He wanted to see how good Li Mo's script was and could make the audience unanimously approve?
Huang Junyu is more tired, busy, spending money and working hard, but he still can't hold back Li Mo, the bastard!
With different thoughts, the two bought tickets and entered the screening hall with the crowd. The good word-of-mouth on the Internet has played a very good role in the past few days. In the popular movie theater, the attendance rate has even reached more than 90%.
Ninety minutes passed quickly, and both Kang Youshuo and Huang Junyu after watching the movie were speechless. I didn't expect Li Mo to be such a philistine. In the second half of the time, people kept getting lunches and hanging up, just for the sake of sensationalism, simple and rude. Even at the end of the movie, the pregnant woman escaped with the little girl, and the scene where the little girl sang while crying made the professional look disgusting.
But the audience watched it very well, and online comments said that the last scene was the most touching scene in the whole movie.
This situation is well reflected in the box office data obtained the next day.
872,232 people!
set the best premiere record, and the screenwriter of this film turned out to be a Chinese. This achievement directly made many Korean filmmakers ashamed.
N.E.W, CJ-M and Lotte are all happy to let the publicity department increase their promotion efforts. The higher the box office, the more money they make. On the contrary, the current person in charge of the showbox who rejected Li Mo for Kang Youshuo's sake is full of regrets. If you know that Li Mo first asked them to cooperate, who knows that it will be cheaper for the competitors.
A week later.
"Train to Busan" had a box office of 5,315,567 people in its first week, setting the best first-week box office record in film history, and Korean filmmakers fell silent!
