Chapter 201: Big Box Office Sales [Chapter 200: A New Beginning]

The audience has a good reputation, but it does not necessarily mean that the box office will become popular.

This depends on the situation. After all, different themes of the film have a certain audience, and the number of viewers and box office is affected too much, such as: the competitive relationship between movies in the same period, the topic and influence of performers, etc., these are all reasons that can affect the number of box office users.

Fortunately, "Welcome to Dongmo Village" chose a good schedule. The only threat to it among the films released in August is the movie "Celebrity Gold" directed by Park Chan-woo. In addition, there are few overseas blockbusters and Hollywood blockbusters throughout August, which is inseparable from South Korea's protection system for local films.

It is very common to protect local films around the world, including the United States, which is now regarded as the kingdom of films. In the 1950s and 1960s, in order to revitalize local films, it increased the restrictions on European films, which accounted for 80% of the American film market at that time. On the one hand, it protected local films and improved the quality of local films, and thus created the current Hollywood blockbusters.

Of course, this system in South Korea is not called the domestic film protection system, but the screen quota system or the obligatory screening system. South Korea began to implement policies to protect the film industry in the 1950s.

From the beginning to the age, while strictly implementing content censorship, the domestic film industrialization system was cultivated. After the 1990s, after the focus of policy shifted to revitalizing the cultural industry, a large number of policies to support the film industry were implemented.

After 1985, the screen quota system stipulated that each hall must voluntarily release local movies for more than 146 days each year. The quota was reduced to 106 days in 1996. In 1997, the Jindazhong government promised that when the market share of local movies exceeded 40%, the quota restrictions would be gradually relaxed.

On January 26, 1999, South Korea's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance and Economics, Han De-soo suddenly stated, "In order to cooperate with the smooth progress of South Korea and the United States, the film quota system was reduced in half in July. It dropped from 146 days to 73 days...", officially because of this news, Korean filmmakers launched a large-scale demonstration, and almost all filmmakers mobilized. Many male filmmakers even shaved their heads and sat quietly in Seoul National Hall, Guanghua Gate and other places to protest.

Because shaving a head is a very strong form of protest in South Korea, and this event is collectively participated by all Korean filmmakers. Therefore, it has been highly concerned by the world's public opinion and put great pressure on the South Korean government. It decided to continue the policy of national films that must be screened for 148 days in each cinema in South Korea.

"Welcome to Dongmo Village" is a blessing for the release of this system, and it just happened to catch up with a good time. If nothing goes wrong, next year, that is, in 2006, from July 1, 2006, the South Korean government will reduce the quota for domestic films to half and change it to 73 days. This is definitely bad news for domestic filmmakers.

Due to the lack of sensational blockbusters in the first half of 2005, the Korean film market declined for the first time this year after several consecutive years of growth.

Statistics from the South Korean National Bureau of Statistics show that although the box office revenue of Korean movies rose 477% in August this year compared with the same period in 2004, the total box office revenue of South Korea in the first half of this year decreased by 05% compared with 2004.

Early the next morning, Jung Hyukjae got up and prepared the meal first, then he came to his sister Jung Minchu's bedroom door and knocked on the door.

"Minchu, I'm out for dinner!"

After shouting a few times, I heard a weak kitten cry from the door, "Brother, let me sleep for a while. Today is Saturday and you don't have to go to school!"

"I'm out for dinner. Didn't you say you made an appointment with Lin Yuner and the others to go to the movie?"

Zheng Hyukjae said this. He heard the originally silent and deep room immediately become angry, and there were crackling sounds. A few minutes later, the beautiful Zheng Minchu appeared in front of Zheng Hyukjae.

"It's great. This outfit is quite good for you. I can't tell that I have started to learn how to pick clothes. I have the three-point vision of your brother!" Facing my sister Jung Hyukjae, he naturally put down his airs in the crew. Then he seemed to have a little bit of vitality and vitality as a young man. When he saw his newly-refined sister, he couldn't help but say a little stinky.

"Brother, I'm just talking about your aesthetic taste? The suit I asked for last time to attend the Baeksang Art Awards was chosen by Ou Ni, the beauty I asked for, for you?" At this point, Zheng Minchu couldn't help but curl her lips.

Jung Hyukjae, who was exposed in public, knocked her little head with a thunderous chest, "Go. Go and wash your face and brush your teeth, and comb your hair, it's like a chicken coop!"

After sending her sister away, Jung Hyukjae brought breakfast to the table. After doing all this, Jung Hyukjae had time to sit down and pick up today's newspaper and read it. From the current political news to the entertainment news, I didn't expect that the homepage of the B-page headline was a report on "Welcome to Dongmo Village".

"What movies to watch during the holidays? The first choice is "Welcome to Dongmo Village"!"

"The following content may be designed and spoiled, please watch it with caution!

"Welcome to Dongmo Village" is a film that describes the brotherhood of North and South Korea in the 1950s. The story tells the story of the People's Army and the United Army accidentally entered Dongdi Village, Gangwon Dok, which was not baptized by war. Here they temporarily forgot about everyone's hostile relationship, enjoyed their happiness, and jointly protected the village.

Domestic movies are increasingly telling real personal stories, and the emergence of "Welcome to Dongmo Village" proves that movies full of humanistic spirit do not only limit the story to real life.

It is precisely for these humanistic films that not only attract teenagers and 20s, but also attractive to 30s, which undoubtedly expands the audience's age group."

Such a title is a promotional article at a glance, and it must have been created by CJ Entertainment for promotion. Although insiders can see such manuscripts at a glance, the audience of newspapers is mainly ordinary readers and viewers. They always watch the movies with curiosity for such manuscripts. As long as they can attract audiences to the theater, this is a kind of success.

Of course, manuscripts like this cannot be published casually. At least the quality of the movie cannot be on the right side of the qualified line, or even off the qualified line, at least up to 80. If the audience of this movie has a bad reputation and the newspaper reports such nonsense, then this newspaper will definitely become a joke of the day.

It is good for the film company to be smart. But the newspaper is not stupid either. You can’t spend your own newspaper’s signature for hundreds of thousands of yuan, right? If you really do that, then there will be no need to open this newspaper again, and there will definitely be not many people watching it.

The main film manuscript, Jung Hyukjae, has roughly scanned the whole line, and there are words of praise. I wish I could praise this movie as a genius. What kind of literary and cultural movies have put all these titles on the movie.

Seeing this, Jung Hyukjae couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. Some literary movies or humanistic movies. Jung Hyukjae didn't want to lean over there. After all, "Welcome to Dongmo Village" is a real commercial movie, and it is a movie produced under a mature business model.

But if you put aside the commercial shell of the entire movie, the core of the movie is actually telling a story about people's hearts. Therefore, this kind of film model that combines business and humanities is quite pleasing. At least the audience will like to watch it, and they will not fall asleep due to boredom in the middle.

"Brother, where are you reading the newspaper?" Zheng Minchu came to the table and said with a smile. She was in a very good mood. She reached out to take a newspaper and turned it into the entertainment page and started reading.

"Time has entered August. A movie directed by Park Gwang Hyun "Welcome to Dongmo Village is presented to everyone. This is a unique war film. In this film you can see people living happily together, and war seems to have never happened."

"People may not be very familiar with the director of the movie Park Gwang-hyun, but if we talk about Jung Hyun, one of the producers of this movie, I think everyone has heard of this person's name. Although he is not a star or an artist, his appeal is the most popular among the fan group."

"Brother, I'm talking about you. I'm talking about you!" After reading this passage, Zheng Minchu said with a little excitement. As a qualified 'brother', all Zheng Minchu needs to do is to draw a cute red heart on all the news that praises her brother. The more she praises her brother's news, the happier the smile on her face.

"Okay, it's time to have a meal!" Jung Hyukjae said with a smile, snatched the newspaper from his sister's hand, and kindly reminded him.

"Oh, I get it."

Not a minute after closing his mouth, Jung Min-chu raised her head again, staring at Jung Hyukjae with big watery eyes, like a cute puppy, and asked curiously, "oppa, how many ten thousand people have watched this movie "Welcome to Dongmo Village"? Will it be better than last year's "Tai Chi Flag Flying"?"

"11.75 million?" That's the number of viewers of 11.75 million people. It's not that Jung Hyuk Jae dares not think about it, but that he is born with the theme. It's just that such a soothing war movie, coupled with powerful actors, naturally attracts no part of the audience without big stars playing star cards or fierce war scenes.

Anyway, Jung Hyukjae has only one goal at the moment, that is, "sitting for eight or nine, and then fighting for ten"!

If nothing unexpected happens, then the final number of viewers of "Welcome to Dongmo Village" will definitely stop at just over 8 million, but this life is different. With the large-scale advertising bombardment of CJ Entertainment, there is still some hope that the number of viewers of the film will exceed 9 million.

"It will definitely be difficult to break a million, but you can still look forward to it for eight million!"

"By the way, what movie are you going to watch today?" Jung Hyukzai asked in a low voice.

"We are going to watch "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". I heard that the United States will be released in mid-July. All the classmates who have watched the premiere said that the movie is very good, so today we plan to go and have a look together!"

Jung Hyukjae was about to say something, but before he could speak, the phone on the desktop rang out in one second at this moment. He looked at the caller ID. Unexpectedly, Park Kwang Hyun called it. Thinking of this, Jung Hyukjae picked up his phone and pressed the call button.

"Park Gwang Hyunxi, how about it? Did the box office number come out yesterday?" Jung Hyun-jae's first reaction was this.

When he heard Jung Hyukjae's question, Park Gwang-hyun on the phone didn't intend to hide it. After all, good news always needs to be shared with friends.

"Hurjaexi, the box office last night has already come out. After hearing this news, don't faint. The number of viewers on the first night of last year was 450,000!"

Even after reading this thin piece of paper several times, Park Gwang-hyun still felt like she was still living in a dream. In fact, when the number of viewers on the first night was released, the number of viewers as high as 450,000 was still a little scared.

Because he was worried about computer statistics errors, Park Gwang-hyun even asked Lee Sung-jun of CJ Entertainment, but he didn't expect that the result was real.

"Hyujaexi, when will you come here for a while? Let the three of us discuss the focus of the next movie work. After all, the plot of the first night is so exciting, and the subsequent episodes also need to keep up with the plot." Park Kwang Hyun explained on the phone.

"It's afternoon, I'll go there if I have time."

"Okay, I'll wait for you here. If you want to come here, just call me first."

He hung up the phone. Because such good news appeared, Jung Hyukjae's face had already had a warm smile. He really didn't expect that the number of viewers could reach such a high number of viewers on the first night of the movie's release.

If this continues, it will be fine if the number of viewers of the movie exceeds three million within a week.

"Sister Minchu, which movie should we watch?"

In the cinema, three girls stood in the cinema hall and looked very entangled.

"Or let's just watch "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". It's a good idea to say that there is a chocolate river here, why don't we go and have a look?" As the boss of the three of them, Zheng Minchu still speaks very vigorously.

"Minchu Ouni, Hyukjae Oppa's new movie is out. Are we sure we won't go and watch it?" Lin Yuner, who was standing beside him, suggested in a low voice.

"Then let's watch both of them together. Let's watch "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" first, and then let's watch the others!"

After hearing what Zheng Minchu said, everyone happily made a decision. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
