Because Jin Zhiyun still had some worries about Lin Youmin's acting skills until the filming was completed. After all, he was too young. Later, with the attitude of giving it a try, he added this subline into it. Unexpectedly, it was an unexpected fit. . .

To add a certain plot element to a commercial film, the audience must get used to it. This scene made Lin Youmin's bounty hunter character more three-dimensional and vivid.

However, there are also some film critics who have high expectations or demanding expectations for this film, expressing great disappointment with this large production, pointing out that the characters in the film are vague, the story is not convincing, and the second half of the chase is too long It's annoying and stuff like that.

It's just that you really can't take what the media says seriously, and take it to heart, otherwise you will definitely be more entangled than the media. The media is always afraid of chaos, such as always speculating about the harmony of the crew of "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys", Because Lin Youmin did not act with Li Bingxian and the others at the Cannes Film Festival, it is inevitable that some voices said that he was rejected by the other two big shots.

When Lin Youmin saw the news, he just chuckled and didn't take it seriously. The relationship between him and Li Bingxian and Song Kanghao was not ordinary, but rather good. The two seniors treated him like nephews. Taking care, in the process of filming, also taught him a lot.

No matter how the outside media try to capture the rumors in the crew, Song Kanghao, Li Bingxian and Lin Youmin always appeared in a friendly manner during the process of promoting the film, just to prevent the media from making wild guesses.

In the early days, they even took the initiative to reduce their remuneration together, and turned to investment methods to help the producers tide over the difficulties.Lin Youmin agreed without even thinking about it.This is undoubtedly the trust in Lee Byung Hun and Song Kang Hao.

If the movie sells well.Lin Youmin and the others can still enjoy the benefits, not really a loss, but if such a big production fails at the box office, it is doomed to be a waste of money, because the dividends of the three leading actors will only be considered after the cost is recovered.

Some people may ask, "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys" has so much investment and such a strong cast.How could the box office fail!

But the truth is, if it is said that the high production cost and the escort of three powerful actors with complementary styles can cover up the above flaws, it is absolutely a lie, because this movie is a western that has never been shot in South Korea.

To a certain extent, Jin Zhiyun's taking over the western film seems to be a gamble, and the gamblers behind it are Korean film investors and multi-party production companies.

Today's westerns are more of an artistic trend, and they are willing to participate in exhibitions and competitions to win awards, but "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys" bears the heavy pressure of commercial box office, and it can even be said that if it doesn't succeed, it will succeed.Once the film fails, South Korea will not easily make Western films in the future.The pressure is palpable.

So how did "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys" fare at the box office?

When "The Most Wonderful Moment in My Life" was released, Lin Youming had a vague understanding of the kind of patriotic feelings that pure Koreans have. Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys, as the most anticipated movie in Korea in 08, let Lin Youmin see the madness of this patriotic emotion.

Movies such as "Red Cliff" and "The Adventures of Doraemon" have been defeated one after another. Even the Hollywood movie "Superman" jointly produced by Will Smith and Charlize Theron, the pair of Oscar winners and actresses, also fell directly. .

Everyone exclaimed, their gazes were firmly absorbed by the iron, and they were fixed on the box office list of movies that could not be wrong—in fact, when this data came out, many people suspected that Did the Film Council get the numbers wrong?

The last movie with such a crazy box office was "The King's Man" three years ago, but the situation is different. At the beginning of "The King's Man", the subject matter was too sensitive, mainly because of the strong reputation and the president's support in the later period. The hype of watching movies, as well as the long-term release, boosted the box office.

At the beginning of its release, even "The King's Man", in terms of first-week results, was far behind by "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys" in the same period.

After confirming that it was correct, the praises that should be expected were overwhelming. As a Korean, we should sing praises for Korean movies, right?

Compared with "The King's Man", which has a sensitive homosexual theme, Korean film critics are not as open as Hollywood. It is indeed awkward and reserved to exaggerate, and it is impossible to make a big splash, but "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys" There is no longer the shackles of this subject matter.

This film proves that South Korea can also produce large-scale commercial films, and it cannot be overstated.

Among them, Jin Zhiyun, as the director, bears the brunt of being promoted to the altar. What kind of shooting method, boldly using a newcomer-Lin Youmin, uh, in the eyes of some film critics, in "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys" Before the release of ", Lin Youmin was just a newcomer. After all, his reputation is not equal to that of Li Bingxian and Song Kanghao.

Jin Zhiyun confidently placed the future of the box office on the shoulders of the three men, and the female elements simply disappeared, so Ye Zhiyuan's poor emotional scenes were also deleted.

As an entertainment film, hot action scenes are essential, and humorous elements are everywhere, but just like most blockbusters with great momentum, the thin plot of this film has also become the target of public criticism, but this is not important , is there any commercial blockbuster that is popular by word of mouth?Almost all rotten tomatoes are everywhere, and there are still people cheering.

Without exception, most commercial films have shortcomings of one kind or another, but for such a film, a high box office is the last word, and it’s okay to pick faults, anyway, the premise is that you have paid to watch it.

In fact, "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys" can achieve such a strong box office, not all because of the above reasons, because the release date of "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys" is very subtle, just to avoid Opened his biggest competitor - "Batman"! . )
