After all, there are too many unfavorable factors for this movie, such as the theme of the mortician, Korean starring, small and medium cost...Although everyone did not have much expectation for profits, the cost should be recovered, right?

"The Undertaker" has a lot of selection itineraries, including the Yokohama Film Festival in Japan, China's Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards, foreign language film competitions for the Hong Kong Film Awards, and among so many film selections, the most important Nothing is better than the Montreal International Film Festival. .

The Montreal International Film Festival was founded in 1977. Every year in late August, the Montreal International Film Festival is held in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The purpose of the Montreal World Film Festival is to encourage cultural diversity and mutual understanding between people of all countries, and to stimulate films from all continents. The promotion of production to cultivate high-quality films, promote film workers and new creations, discover and encourage new talents, and promote exchanges among film professionals around the world.

The Montreal International Film Festival is one of the top five film festivals in the world, and it is also the only competitive film festival in North America recognized by the International Federation of Film Producers, an international category A film festival.

Although it is not as good as Cannes, Venice, and Berlin, the three most authoritative European film festivals, its professionalism and attention should not be underestimated, and it is also at the forefront of many world film festivals.

And when Lin Youmin knew the news, Yojiro Takita had already gone to Canada with the film, and Kim Tae Hee, the heroine, was also with him.

When preparing for this movie, her role was actually just a friend of the actor's wife. Later, in order to increase her role, she was directly changed to wife. For this reason, Kaoru Koyama even revised the script extensively.

Lin Youmin lacked skills, so Kim Tae Hee naturally couldn't be absent anymore. Originally, Takita Yojiro just planned to try his luck to see if he could get some attention through the film festival. Unexpectedly, maybe Kim Tae Hee really brought a good luck.

"The Undertaker" actually won the highest award at the film festival: the Americas Award!Also known as the Jury Award, it was voted by several famous directors who served as judges on the jury, and its influence and authority can be imagined.

This shocked Lin Youmin a lot. He never thought that such a surprise would suddenly come to people. Not only those related to them, but even the Japanese and Korean media were also shocked.

Needless to say about Japan, after all, this is a Japanese movie. As for South Korea, it is because the two leading actors are Korean. It is also something worthy of special mention.

Leaving aside the reactions caused by both parties, Lin Youmin has no time to take care of it. Anyway, "The Undertaker" has not been released yet, so let Takita Yojiro and Kim Tae Hee do other things.

His current main task is "Mischievous Kiss". Facing the strong competition from the two well-received TV series "The Painter of the Wind" and "Beethoven Virus", although Lin Youmin didn't say anything, but in his heart One can imagine the pressure on Bian, he doesn't like his works being suppressed too badly.

Although it is an idol drama, and the band is cooperating with a large number of newcomers, Lin Youmin will not give up easily. Fortunately, the news that "The Undertaker" won the award is still obvious. With this news, "Mischievous Kiss" Lin Youmin's attention has increased slightly in the ratings of the new episode, overwhelming "The Painter of the Wind", and only slightly behind Jin Mingmin's "Beethoven Virus".

On the other hand, "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys" was also released smoothly, and the final number of viewers stayed at 853 million. The top ten in film history is enough to be proud of.

Fortunately, if you don’t make much money, you still make money, at least you won’t lose money. Lin Youmin’s original investment cost, which was completely out of loyalty to Li Bingxian, can be regarded as recovered, and even after some overseas copyright income arrives in the account, there will still be a slight loss. surplus.

More importantly, the benefits of Lin Youmin's starring in "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys" are not limited to money income. His biggest gain is the momentum in the entertainment circle, because he has caught up with Li Bingxian and Song Kanghao With this big investment, Lin Youmin's influence has expanded a lot, and he has quickly gained a foothold in the film industry. Compared with the previous films, it looks like a small fight.

Lin Youmin's surprise was far from over.

Although "The Undertaker" is a purely Japanese film because the two leading actors are Korean, both the film studio and the media always treat this film with a deliberately suppressed low-key attitude.

But whether a movie is good or bad cannot be judged because of such external factors. Good movies will never be buried, let alone a movie like "The Undertaker" that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Even though many Japanese film critics and film critic media did not exaggerate and praise this movie too much, privately, the word-of-mouth of this movie has already exploded, and some film critic writers cannot comment openly, but this It does not prevent them from looking at this movie from the perspective of individuals and fans.

Just as an anonymous professional film critic commented on the Japanese popular film review: "The plot and structure of "The Undertaker" may be simple, the theme conveyed may be simple, the soundtrack may be plain, and even the leading actor South Korea; but the lens design of the film is unique, the editing and conception are exquisite, the soundtrack by Joe Hisaishi is delicate and profound, and the philosophy of life discussed in the film is deep and optimistic. It can be said that I like it This film is not only because of the soundtrack of Joe Hisaishi, but more about the meaning of life, the value of life, and the philosophy of life and death. In a word, I like this movie, even if it is all about that handsome Korean human lens."

"It is worth mentioning that there is also the music of the film. Although Dawu in the film is a failed cellist, the music of the film is an absolute masterwork. The heavy cello sound instantly touches the softest part of your heart. The sadness of a man takes you back to the boundless memories. When you see Dawu playing the violin on the embankment by the river, when you see Dawu experiencing death so closely, you may know what a thorough understanding is. life."

Compared with the low-key of many professional media, in terms of film critics, "The Undertaker" is almost all positive. So far, after collecting the ratings of film critics from tens of thousands of viewers, the praise rate of "The Undertaker" has reached an astonishing 90.5%. , the star rating of the movie is also as high as 4.5 stars. This level is absolutely no less than any popular Japanese movie with high reputation, or even higher.

This is directly reflected in the box office, which is the stability of "The Undertaker"-although it has never won the first place in the weekly box office, and it has not even entered the top three, it has always maintained the fifth to tenth position, which is no better than other films every time. The weekly box office has dropped sharply, and the box office of "The Undertaker" has maintained a surprisingly stable level.

And the comments and comments of the audience on the Internet also caught the attention of many media. Most of these comments did not mention how good Lin Youmin's acting skills are, but they almost all mentioned one element—Jo Hisaishi's movie soundtrack .

yes!It's not appropriate to praise Lin Yumin, and it's not appropriate to praise the whole movie as being particularly good, but with Joe Hisaishi's status in the world, no amount of praise can be overstated, and there is no taboo at all, let alone the soundtrack itself this time , it is already at the hall level, and it is completely worthy of praise.

Ever since, the Japanese entertainment media seemed to have found a bug in a certain game, their eyes were shining, and they focused all their evaluation firepower on the soundtrack of Joe Hisaishi. Anyway, this is also a disguised form of praise for "The Undertaker" .

On the South Korean side, at this time, it seems that they have also noticed the seemingly ordinary and extraordinary movie "The Undertaker", because of the starring roles of Lim Youmin and Kim Tae Hee, and the great achievements it has made, as well as the fact that it has not yet been released. With the full potential revealed, Korean media people unanimously reprinted articles from several major Japanese movie sites and began to praise the movie. (To be continued.)
