Chapter 171 The number of movie viewers exceeded [-] million

How was "Pirates" filmed?

Jiang Liu has talked about this kind of issue many times with audiences in China, and it is a commonplace.

The storms the crew experienced on the island, the difficulties they encountered during filming at sea, and all the magical experiences were told vividly and vividly, which made the Korean audience in front of the TV sigh with admiration.

Son Yejin curled her lips disdainfully.

Even if she had never been to China, she could still conclude that Jiang Liu was talking nonsense.

Encountered a whale, and the whale even swam around the crew's filming boat in a humane way?

This magical experience can only be deceived by children.

"Director Jiang, "The Bandit Running to the Sea" and "Memories of Murder" were released together, and they were loved by the people at the same time. Have you seen "Memories of Murder"? How do you evaluate this movie and Director Bong Joon-ho."

"I just finished watching it the day before yesterday. I personally think that "Memories of Murder" has become one of the classic Korean movies. In 10 or 20 years, there may not be any Korean movies that can reach the artistic level of this movie."

"Director Bong Joon-ho will become South Korea's top genre director, and we are working together on a movie."

"In addition, I hope that the Korean police can arrest the prototype real murderer in "Memories of Murder" as soon as possible."

"Song Kanghao is confused and unwilling, as if he is looking at the murderer off-camera. Coupled with the warm yellowish color tone of the work and the soundtrack that wanders within the plot, I have an epiphany and at the same time retain There is a hint of melancholy and a hint of sadness."

"Director Wa Gang is really, really worthy of being a director who has made movies that are loved by Korean people. Your interpretation of "Memories of Murder" is great. All of us citizens also wish the police to catch the murderer as soon as possible."

"Finally, I would like to ask Director Jiang, what other Korean movies do you like?"

"I have personally watched movies such as "Joint Security Area" directed by Park Chan-wook, "My Sassy Girl" directed by Kwak Jae-yong, and "If Love Has a Will" which was just released this year, and I think they are very good."

"The director's camera scheduling and the actors' performance are perfect."

"Thank you again, Director Jiang. I hope you will bring another good movie to the Korean people next year. I wish you a happy trip to Korea! Good luck with the filming!"

The interview with SBS Channel [-] was over. Son Ye-jin lay down on the sofa and was muttering, "She's not a bad person, but she actually praised me for my good performance." The ringtone of her phone rang.

"Sister Min Shu."

"Yan Zhen, have you watched SBS TV programs? Let's find a time to visit Director Jiang."

"Sister Minshu, please stop it. I was so..." Son Yejin said halfway, but couldn't continue.

She still felt hot thinking about the frivolous and blustering behavior more than a month ago.

She was usually quiet and reserved, but that day she was hit in the head and felt dizzy. She made a lot of frivolous moves in her anger, and even almost shouted the curse words "Ah Xiba".

It's okay for a 21-year-old girl to go crazy occasionally in front of a stranger. But when they turn around, they become strangers and never interact with each other again.

Who would have thought that Jiang Liu was indeed a director and screenwriter, and his movies became very popular in South Korea.

Her initial taunting and rolling eyes turned into a boomerang, trapping herself in it.

Kim Min-sook guessed Son Ye-jin's thoughts at once and persuaded with a smile: "It's okay. I saw that he also praised Director Guo Jae-yong on the show, "If Love Has God's Will" starring you. It seems that Jiang Liu is not a narrow-minded person. .”

"Sister Minshu, the more generous he is, the more stingy I am? I'd better not go."

Son Ye-jin's face turned red after she finished speaking. She didn't know whether it was from heat or embarrassment.

"Don't be afraid, I will accompany you to meet him. There are many reasons for us to meet him. To resolve the misunderstanding, apologize, or meet him by chance at Hanjiang Park. If nothing else works, I will ask Li Fuzhen to arrange for Samsung Entertainment to send us there."

Son Ye-jin said helplessly: "Then let's meet by chance."

Her agent and boss Kim Min-sook is a good friend and classmate of Samsung's eldest princess Li Fuzhen.

No matter how Son Ye-jin looked at herself, she found that it was not worth it for Sister Min-sook to use the eldest princess's connections.

Jiang Liu's interview on SBS TV not only made Kim Min-sook take Son Ye Jin to get to know Jiang Liu again, but also made Jiang Liu's image gradually grow in the hearts of Korean people.

Many Korean netizens on the NAVER community said:

Jiang Liu's professionalism as a director is unquestionable.

His evaluation of "Memories of Murder" was way ahead of the so-called film critics in Korea.

Jiang Liu is also extremely generous.

During the competition between "The Bandit" and "Memories of Murder", he could still sincerely believe that "Memories of Murder" is a good movie and a rare classic movie.

It can be seen that this person is really very generous. He would rather not win the box office but praise his opponents.

Relatively speaking, Bong Joon-ho is a bit worse, and has not given "The Bandit to the Sea" a good review so far.

Not even a review.

I don’t know if I really look down on the entertaining "Bandits Running to the Sea", or if I was given a death order by the chaebol behind me not to speak.

After all, Koreans all know that since CJ Entertainment was completely separated from Samsung in 1997, the two chaebols have long been in the same boat.

After many Korean netizens commented on Jiangliu, they also did not forget to accept several interviews and even Qin Lan who appeared on two Korean variety shows.

Qin Lan's performance as a female pirate in the movie was praised by Korean audiences as beautiful and sassy.

It’s the Chinese version of Jun Ji-hyun.

For this reason, Qin Lan joked to Jiang Liu on the bed that "she can even make her debut in Korea."

Relying on Samsung Group's strong publicity and distribution capabilities and the help of netizens, "The Bandit of the Sea" saw the dawn of winning its first weekly box office championship since its release in mid-to-late June.

According to data released by the Korea Film Promotion Commission on the morning of the 22nd:

The number of viewers of "Pirates" reached 22 million and 6 as of 400 a.m. on the 55nd.

"Pirates" currently has a box office share of over 30%, an increase of nearly 7.4% from 23% when it was first released. Moreover, the gap in the number of daily moviegoers between "Pirates" and "Memories of Murder" has narrowed to less than [-]. "Pirates" is likely to beat "Memories of Murder" for the first time this weekend and take the top spot at the box office this weekend.

An entertainment movie, the showdown with a genre movie continues.

News, netizens, and citizens are quarreling over which of the two movies is better.

Samsung Entertainment and CJ Entertainment are also at odds with each other.

The directors of the two films are happily creating "Monster".

"I'm stupid, Lao Jiang, I really shouldn't have found you to play the male lead."

On the viewing platform by the Han River, Jiang Liu looked at Jiang Wendao with a regretful expression.

"Can you blame me? I have told you that the plot design of this plot is unreasonable. A normal person with a good brain would not yell and run away when he sees such a big and ugly monster in the water. Throwing food and feeding it is extremely outrageous.”

Jiang Wen wrote the script and spoke plausibly.

"You will be regarded as the leading male character in the early stage and will be short-sighted."

"Being cunning at the front, but clever at the back, using various means to evade capture and save his family is not a contradiction. Ning Hao, you said there is no contradiction."

Jiang Wen was unrepentant and wanted to take Ning Hao with him. Jiang Liu was so angry that he flew into a rage and said, "Can you think of such a person on this earth with a population of billions?"

Jiang Wen's acting is that of a stubborn donkey.

If he feels that a plot is smooth, flawless, and reasonable, his performance will be like being possessed by the god of acting, making people involuntarily raise their thumbs.

On the contrary, he will either grind Jiang Liu to death or be mediocre.

"Monster" has been in production for more than a month, and Jiang Liu has argued with him several times. Counting, today is the fifth time.

"There are all kinds of people in this world, and there will definitely be a few weirdos."

"That's it, you are a weirdo. The character curve of the male lead I designed is just like this."

"Hey, you are swearing in disguise."

"Have you never scolded an actor on the set? Besides, for the character I scolded, you should adjust it quickly and call it a day."

Jiang Liu hurriedly took the script from Jiang Wen's hand and said to Ning Hao and others: "Start the camera in three minutes."

"Hi Jiang, I need a rest tomorrow at the weekend."

"Are you kidding? You think you're sitting in an office and have weekends off."

Jiang Liu glared at Porter, the conspicuous person in the crew.

After we have been together for more than a month, Porter, the special effects director sent by Weta Special Effects Company, is already recognized by the crew as a conspicuous person.

Jiang Liu also gave Porter a crew nickname for this, "Humanoid Queue-Jumping Special Effect Medicine".

South Korea is a very strange country. Many people in many countries around the world are more or less admiring foreigners.

However, many people in many countries keep their admiration for foreign countries secretly hidden in their hearts, and occasionally use it secretly to "show off".

South Korea is different. Many people in this country openly show their admiration for foreign countries. Not only do they not feel ashamed, but they also think it is normal.

I think it's normal, and passers-by also think it's normal.

Once, Jiang Liu, Gao Damao, Zhao Wenhong, and Porter opened a small restaurant.

Because the restaurant was popular, there was a long queue at night, and Jiang Liu and his entourage were ready to leave. Porter showed up and was invited from the end of the queue by the Koreans all the way to the front until he was personally welcomed into the restaurant by the restaurant owner.

They were all confused.

After trying it several times, I was able to rely on Porter without queuing almost every time.

When the crew officially started filming in Han River Park, Porter didn't even have to wait in line to buy a cold drink, which truly solidified the abnormal psychology of most people in South Korea who worship white people and old beauties to the point of bone marrow.

Porter has since officially become a prominent member of the crew.

Jiang Liuhe refused, and Porter quit, shouting: "No, tomorrow is the weekend, so it's time to rest. I really can't stand you, the tyrant of the crew, you are worse than my boss, that guy Jackson."

"Have a rest. It's such a big expense for one day, so get ready to start shooting."

"I don't care about you. I have to rest tomorrow. You people will definitely not be reconciled to God. You will only work and make money all your life."

Gao Da Mao choked: "If you don't make money, you want to go to heaven?"

"No, your logic is wrong. Life is short. You should seize the time to enjoy life. Making money is secondary. Who knows when I will meet God or go to hell. Tomorrow I will follow the example of Koreans and come here to sleep and barbecue. I found out I fell in love with this country."

Gao Damao thought for a moment and said, "Brother, I find that what Potter said seems to make sense."

"He earns two thousand pounds a week. He must be enjoying life. Why do you enjoy it? Start filming as soon as possible."

Wearing a black swimsuit, Wu Xing takes to the water as a monster in the camera.

The camera turned on, and Jiang Wen and a group of children stood on the steps closest to the water. From time to time, they tore off a piece of bread, kneaded it into a ball and threw it at the "monster" splashing in the water.

Jiang Wen's expression was dull, as if he was dying, and Jiang Liu didn't stop when he saw it.

This performance may not be vivid enough, but it still meets Jiang Liu's psychological expectations.
