Chapter 1008 Surprise
The "Bulin Incident" refers to the incident in September 1981 when the South Korean Chundo-hwan dictatorial government illegally arrested and imprisoned 22 teachers, staff and students who attended the reading club on the grounds of circulating harmful books, organizing illegal gatherings, and suspected of violating the National Security Law, and torture them to admit that there was no criminal fact. The court finally made a guilty verdict on 19 of the 22 people and sentenced them to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from one to seven years. At that time, the defendants were defended for free at Roh Moo-hyun, who later became South Korean President.
"Defense Attorney" is based on this matter.
Roh Moo-hyun has a high reputation in South Korea. Although he committed suicide because of the "Park Yuan Cimen", there are still many supporters in China, and there has been debate over right and wrong. Song Kang-ho refused to play because he was worried about having an impact on him. Later, he agreed at Park Ji-hoon's invitation.
Such a movie was born in N.E.W, which is of great significance.
If it weren't a Korean, or if it wasn't a fan of an actor in the movie, the movie would look a bit boring. But in South Korea, such a movie was given a lot of meaning.
The Korean film industry is relatively free, and works criticizing the government often appear. Even without Park Ji-hoon, this movie will definitely be born. However, with Park Ji-hoon taking pressure, directors, staff, etc., it will be much easier.
The movie will be officially released on Wednesday, December 18th.
Many people have entered the theater, including many middle-aged and elderly men who don’t usually watch movies.
Regardless of the intention of the movie, the name "Ro Moo-hyun" is a good gimmick. Moreover, after the VIP premiered, the media gave a high evaluation of the movie, and even used "The Furnace" to compare it!
Although the box office of "The Melting Furnace" is not very high, it has a very good reputation and a great social impact, which has aroused the attention of the entire society to the vulnerable groups.
Naturally, many people can't help but regard "Defense Attorney" as the "House of the Furnace" type of "High-up" and there are very few movies that can truly achieve word of mouth and box office. Therefore, filmmakers define "Seeing the Face" as the peak of Park Ji-hoon's directorial career.
As it turns out, media reporters did not lie.
"A very meaningful and touching movie, really worth watching!"
“A rare thought-provoking video.”
"Song Kanghao's acting skills are very wonderful, fully interpreting the charm of the character, and it makes people feel endless aftertaste!"
Audiences are different from film critics and professional journalists. They do not have so many in-depth analysis and comments, especially a group that does not often watch movies, often responds very monotonously. But it is these comments that support the reputation of a movie.
Although the media's publicity has a huge impact, the word-of-mouth transmission of the audience is even more powerful.
Yuri, Taeyeon, Seo Hyun and others went to see the midnight schedule together.
Because of their age and life experience, they did not have much deep feelings about the "Bulin Incident", but it did not prevent them from being impressed by the movie, especially the ending that made people unable to resist, and it was also a sublimation of the entire movie. When the lawyer played by Song Kang-ho was sentenced for being punished for disrupting public security and order, 99 of the 142 lawyers in Busan appeared in court to defend him!
This movie is the main feature of N.E.W Christmas.
All works have been published during the summer, Mid-Autumn Festival, Christmas, and N.E.W, especially the "trilogy" that dominates the entire summer. Although the audience is so excited about watching it, it has attracted many peers to be jealous and dissatisfied. These people do not consider their works, but think that because N.E.W's works are too excellent, their achievements are greatly affected.
During this Christmas holiday, many film companies are looking forward to being able to snipe "Defense Attorney" and suppress N.E.W's arrogance.
Otherwise, the whole of 2013 will become a one-man show for N.E.W!
The movies released at the same time include "The Road to Home" starring Jeon Do-yeon and Gossum, which is adapted from real events (released a week earlier), and the romantic comedy "The Heart-stealing Thieves" starring Zhou Won and Kim Ya-jung...and then, there is nothing.
Because N.E.W does not have its own cinema, it is easy to be restricted when it is released, and no one can avoid some small movements on the edge of the rules. CJE&M, Lotte Entertainment is the main force in the Christmas season and the main force in sniping N.E.W. The situation where Lotte and N.E.W teamed up to fight CJE&M has long been gone. This year's N.E.W is so strong that it was so strong that it was sniped by two of the four major film companies!
There were other movies waving flags and shouting, but when Christmas Eve box office data came out, the only ones that stayed in the top ten were CJE&M's "The Road Home" and Lotte's "The Heart-stealing Thieves". Other movies dissipated in the sun like bubbles, and the media that had previously built their momentum also quietly changed their camps.
"Defense Attorney" has a market share of 1.752,162 viewers, with a market share of 45.2%, and has dominated the top spot in the weekly box office list. It is also the only work that has exceeded one million this week!
"The Road Home" has a total of 1.43 million 0,279 viewers in two weeks of release, and 300,916 viewers in one week of release, which is completely different from "Defense Attorney"!
No one expected that the "Defense Attorney" who thought it was a very popular "The Furnace" would be so strong in box office.
"Is N.E.W's works really so unsolvable?" So, some filmmakers directly shouted out such questions.
Several major film companies join forces to suppress N.E.W's arrogance is already a semi-public secret in the film industry. Even N.E.W itself knows that it has no intention of a strong counterattack. Although Park Ji-hoon is very strong, the film industry has its own rules. Moreover, he also feels that N.E.W's results this year are too dazzling and should be rejected.
Therefore, the scale of publicity for "Defense Attorney" was not very large before.
But, nothing can resist the audience's love!
Not to mention the major film companies, even N.E.W himself was a little stunned. He was originally ready to go to the awards, but he was so surprised!
"This is the best Christmas gift!" The homepage of N.E.W official website marked Park Ji-hoon's words of thanks.
Today, N.E.W already has a group of its own fans.
The first week of "The Defense Attorney" was better than "The Gift of Room 7"!
You can look forward to more!
...
On Christmas Day, Park Ji-hoon was busy filming, and Taeyeon, Yuri and others all had their own announcements and had no time to meet.
Yoon Hee-jin is busy promoting the new movie.
Not to mention Jung Yeon-a, she was so busy that she was dizzy that she was even more unlikely to visit Park Ji-hoon.
In the end, Park Min-ah went alone.
I met someone else on the set. (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
