Chapter 875 "Horror Live"
Last night, someone saw Park Ji-hoon staying in the Girls' Generation dormitory for nearly half an hour and taking photos. Although it was far away, he could still recognize him. This news was everywhere on the Internet this morning.
Late at night, a man went to the girls' dormitory and stayed for half an hour. No matter what he did, it was easy to make people think.
After hearing this from his agent, Yuri and others called Park Ji-hoon as soon as possible. Originally, Park Ji-hoon didn't want to enter the dormitory, but he was forced to invite him and others. If such an accident occurs, he naturally took the initiative to take responsibility.
Although they just had midnight snacks together and were all nine of them, the rumors on the Internet sometimes spread faster and wider the faster and wider.
"Didn't you take photos last night? I picked a few and posted them online." Park Ji-hoon understood what Yuri meant. It was nothing to have a midnight snack together. It was because he was worried about fans. Netizens explored a deeper issue - what kind of relationship is worthy of Park Ji-hoon buying midnight snacks for himself? Yuri meant that he was the one who decided to be himself.
"Yeah." Yuri replied softly.
Talking to Park Ji-hoon was easy. It wasn't that I couldn't think of such a solution, but I always had to tell him, and he also brought it up.
"Call me if you have any accidents," Park Ji-hoon said.
Every morning, he would think about the filming content of the day, including his own lines.
"Well, OPPA takes care of your health by yourself." Yuri whispered, "I'm dead."
It seems like a normal advice, but it carries a deep affection.
Listening to the sound of the phone hanging up, Park Ji-hoon was in a daze for nearly a minute before he restrained his thoughts and focused his attention on the script again.
Sure enough, after Yuri and others uploaded the photos, the situation was quickly controlled, and rumors were greatly reduced, and Park Ji-hoon didn't need to show up and explain anything.
Early in the morning on June 10, Yuri returned to the set.
The filming of "Pirates" ends this month. Sufficient preparations and two-line shooting save a lot of time.
In contrast, this movie uses a lot of special effects, and post-production editing will be more troublesome.
After having a clear mind, Park Ji-hoon finally calmed down and threw himself on the shooting. Haste is not enough, and the best way to be lazy is to work hard.
During this period, "The Watchers" exceeded 5.5 million viewers a month after its release, becoming the third-ranked movie in 2013 after "The Gift of Room 7" and "Berlin".
In addition to its own quality and company promotion, it is also closely related to the charm of the starring actors. As early as when the number of viewers exceeded 3 million, Jung Woo-sung said that if the number of viewers exceeded 5 million, one audience would choose to date her. Han Hyo-joo said that she would give her T-shirt with her own brand when she starred in "Runningman", and Lee Jun-ho also said that she would eat popcorn and watch movies with the audience.
Unfortunately, the film has limited potential and its performance is not strong enough. The number of viewers of 5.5 million has almost reached its limit, and there is still room for up to 200,000 to rise - the number of screens and attendance rates are declining significantly.
As for "Catch That Guy", despite its excellent reputation, the box office was barely exceeded 2.1 million.
However, "Horror Live" has successfully taken over the baton.
N.E.W has already announced plans for three summer movies, and "The Surveillance" has made a good start, which has achieved a very good publicity role for the subsequent "Horror Live".
However, due to the theme of the movie, the results of "Horror Live" were not good after the premiere, and the pre-sale results have been ranked fifth and sixth. The rating on Naver was only a little over 5.
Many viewers are not very interested in this dull, without many scene conversions.
At this time, the reputation, popularity, and N.E.W's own reputation accumulated by "Surveyors" played a very critical role, and there are still many viewers attending the fee to adapt! In the entertainment industry, this is a very rare thing, because most viewers are very impetuous and it is difficult to calm down and enjoy a movie. Sometimes some irresponsible comments can even ruin a movie that was originally very good.
Just as fans have a higher tolerance for celebrities than for young artists who have just debuted, audiences are constantly entering the theater and participating in comments.
On Naver, the rating of "Horror Live" was 5 points, reaching 7.58 before its official release, and its pre-sales score also soared first!
On June 19, "Horror Live" was officially released, with 673 screens nationwide, with 214,935 viewers on the first day, with a total of 342,000.
The paid trial results were too good, resulting in the movie being released two days in advance.
On June 20, the number of viewers was 293,000, with a total of 63.5 people.
On June 21, the number of viewers was 341,000, with a total of 976,000.
On Saturday, June 22, the number of viewers was 441,000, with a total of 1.417 million.
On Sunday, June 23, the number of viewers was 418,000, with a total of 1.835 million.
Another movie at the "Surveyors" level!
In the first week of release, it took the first throne without hesitation!
Of course, it has a lot to do with the poor performance of the movies during the same period. The Hollywood movie "Superman: Man of Steel" in the Superman series barely exceeded 1.2 million viewers in one week after the release, with many negative reviews; the movie "Doomsday", adapted from Mikes Brooks' best-selling novel, exceeded 1.5 million viewers in the first week of release. In contrast, Korean local films performed too far. The horror film "Doctor", which caused many topics at the Busan Film Festival last year, was officially released after more than half a year, but only 30,000 viewers entered the venue in two days on the first week weekend, which was similar to "The Monitors" which is about to end. The China-South Korea-Cooperated movie "Breakup Contract" was no longer in the past.
In addition, the movie "TheCall", which is also produced by N.E.W, attracted 51,246 viewers into the theaters in the first week of its release. Although it is far behind the top three, it still ranks fourth in the box office rankings that week!
Moreover, corresponding to the box office results, "Horror Live" has a very good reputation!
"90 minutes that make people breathe!"
"This is the best movie I have ever seen this year! During the progress of the event, 90% of the content took place in a narrow and closed live studio, and there were only a few characters. The main channel for the protagonist to contact the outside world was a live phone, and the TV surveillance screen in the director's room formed the extension of the scene. It was in this almost closed space that the director had a good grasp of the details and rhythm, and the audience's emotions were unconsciously driven by the plot. The rhythm continued to accelerate under the promotion of dialogue, and the story was written with twists and turns..."
"Ha Zhengyu's acting skills are really outstanding! In such a small-scale movie, the protagonist's expressions have become the biggest highlight of the film. The audience needs to intuitively understand the changes in the characters' inner heart from the expressions of the characters. Ha Zhengyu's performance is bright and chilling, interpreting the complex inner activities of "Yin Yinghua" vividly. The second half of the high\/The tide is extremely explosive..."
From the "dolent" during the preview to the almost one-sided praise now, "Horror Live" has unparalleled charm!
Especially among professional film critics, the movie's rating is as high as 8.62!
The director and the protagonist play a crucial role in such a movie!
Not to mention Ha Jung-woo's acting skills, he can almost be said to be a representative figure of Korean acting skills.
The director, screenwriter and editor of this movie are all handled by Kim Byung-woo. In the eyes of N.E.W and Park Ji-hoon, they are more rare than Ha Jung-woo! Unfortunately, the two sides only cooperated once, and Kim Byung-woo refused to join N.E.W. This has something to do with his personality. His first rarely known film "The Drama in the Drama", was produced, directed, screenwriter, edited, etc. If the first movie had not failed and the financial difficulties were difficult, his film would not have cooperated with N.E.W.
This is the only thing that is not enough.
But Park Ji-hoon did not underestimate him for this. On the contrary, he also released "Horror Live" in the summer, promoted it with all his might, and won excellent reputation in the company and even the entire circle!
...
June 27.
Park Ji-hoon and Yuri ended the filming of "Pirates" and returned to Seoul together.
The crew still has some scattered shots that need to be re-shooted, but there are no two people, and the construction will not be officially completed in July.
Yuri lost weight all over. After saying goodbye to the staff, she got into Park Ji-hoon's nanny car and relaxed immediately. Her legs stretched out, leaned against the seat casually, her arms were hanging beside her, her mouth slightly opened, and she refused to move again.
Judging from the shooting weight and difficulty alone, she is even more serious than Park Ji-hoon.
"The teeth have turned white." Park Ji-hoon's nerves that had been tense were relaxed, as if he had suddenly removed a thousand pounds of weight. After the car started, he suddenly said.
Yuri didn't react at first, lazily didn't even want to move her mind. After a while, she suddenly raised her hand and slapped Park Ji-hoon's thigh.
"Bang!" Park Ji-hoon's shorts were slapped firmly on the flesh, very loudly.
"You want to murder!" Park Ji-hoon shouted after chanting.
"I didn't use my strength, just let my hands fall freely. Who knows..." Yuri was also startled, looked at Park Ji-hoon's thighs, and stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, explaining.
"I'll give you a free fall, too?" Park Ji-hoon said with his hands raised.
"No!" Yuri suddenly shrank her legs together, protected her hands, and exclaimed softly.
She also wore shorts.
Fortunately, Park Ji-hoon just scared her.
"What gift OPPA is going to give Xiaoxian?" Yuri asked by changing the subject.
Tomorrow is Xu Xian’s birthday.
Unexpectedly, Park Ji-hoon showed a slightly helpless expression on his face.
"What's wrong?" Yuri asked when she saw it.
Chapter completed!
