Chapter 242 A three million bet
Almost all artists invited to attend the premiere of "Extreme Anchor" unexpectedly saw so many Korean artists gathering in a movie premiere. Such grand occasions are rarely seen except for some large awards ceremony.
The host of this host was also Yoo Jae-suk, Kang Ho-dong and Kim Ji-dong, who were well-known hosts in South Korea. In this show, Jang Dong-gun, Song Hye-kyo, Jeon Ji-hyun and others were shocked.
Even though I had heard of Lee Sang-hyun before, this time I was invited by Lee Jung-hyun to participate in the premiere of the first film filmed by Shuangxian Film and Television, it was more of a favor for Lee Jung-hyun. Now it seems that this favor does not seem to be valuable!
‘Sage, if I weren’t in the cinema, I would have thought I would have come to an award ceremony. Seeing so many artists gathered together, even Dong Jianxi and Hui Qiaoxi who hadn’t seen for a long time, I was really a little nervous!’
Listening to Yoo Jae-suk's words, Kang Ho-dong and Kim Ji-dong, as hosts, naturally agreed and joking, which was a warm-up for this premiere. As such, it was naturally not a problem for the three of them to join forces.
When the three of them said the same thing, Jin Jidong said again: "Hudong, Zaishi, are we talking too much? Today we are here to host, not to be the protagonist. Should we invite our protagonist to appear?"
‘That’s right, let’s invite Li Shengxian, a very anchor writer and producer, to express his thoughts.’
With the invitation of three people, Lee Sang-hyun brought the main creators of the movie and all appeared at the premiere. After expressing his gratitude to the artists present, Lee Sang-hyun began to tell some of his thoughts about filming the movie.
‘I believe everyone knows that the Korean film market has not been very prosperous in the past two years. This has also led to the fact that I, a fledgling boy, look forward to more than three million viewers of this movie. However, it has ushered in doubts and criticism from many media.
I have never made any rebuttals or explanations before, and I think that too much verbal explanation is useless. Whether a movie is good or not is it not that they have the final say, but that the movie fans have the final say.
Before the screening, I still want to say, is there really a lot of people who watch the three million movies? If we don’t have confidence in domestic movies, how can we talk about revitalizing domestic movies?
Just because I am young, because the directors and some starring actors used in this movie are not famous, and they are old-fashioned family comedy. I am looking forward to the number of viewers of three million. Is it really overestimating my ability?
Today, in front of so many artists, I would like to say something a bit arrogant and conceited. If this movie does not reach the number of viewers of three million, then I can only say, you are right. I am indeed overestimating myself and will never get involved in any film-related professions from now on.
If the first movie I was lucky enough to create had exceeded three million viewers. Then I hope that those who criticized me and the media could proactively issue an apology statement, not apologize to me, but to apologize to domestic movies.
As long as we do not lose confidence in domestic movies, I believe that domestic movies will still become the favorite movies of movie fans in the future. I am indeed young, but it does not mean that I am not qualified to contribute to domestic movies."
In this case, the artists and media present also heard that Li Shengxian’s retaliation against those who were stomping on him some time ago. If the number of viewers exceeds three million, those people will be embarrassed if they slapped in the face.
The reporters who are qualified to enter the cinema today were also extremely excited when they heard what Li Shengxian said. This young man who has been a little unique since his debut still got angry.
Even the artists who were present also felt that Li Shengxian was a little impatient when he said such a bet in public. But think about what the media said to film critics some time ago, it is normal for them to get angry.
But putting aside the judgment of being stimulating, Li Shengxian dared to say, "It's only three million, and he will no longer be involved in any film profession." I think he is very confident about this movie. Thinking of this way, his previous words were not arrogant.
As Lee Sage said, the movie fans have the final say whether the movie is good or not.
With the official screening of the movie, this movie, which was jointly completed by an outdated comedian Cha Tae-hyun, an unknown Park Bo-young, and a director and screenwriter who had never made a movie, was surprising.
The new actor Park Bo-young and child star Wang Seok-hyun's skillful acting skills, as well as Cha Tae-hyun's unique funny style, formed the humorous atmosphere of the film, which made the audience laugh, and the family concept conveyed deeply touched the artists present.
In the movie, Cha Tae-hyun is worried that others will know that Park Bo-young is his daughter, and is afraid of those digging reporters, but he has to smile and greet him. Many big-name artists present have personal experiences.
The more famous an artist is, the more attention it receives from the media and reporters. Any bad news will be expanded many times invisibly. This is undoubtedly the most fearful and worried for artists.
In short, this movie, which seems to be absurd but is actually sincere, ended after a hundred minutes. The artists and fans who participated in the movie were all given a lot of applause and encouragement.
Although Cha Tae Hyun was a little excited when he heard the thunderous applause, he was still in good control. As the director, Kang Hyun-cheol, who was in his thirties, had his eyes red and he was undoubtedly very excited.
As for Park Bo Young, she had been under pressure for a long time and released her tears at this moment. She knew that these applause was enough to show that her acting skills were recognized by the audience.
‘Baoying, OK! Hurry up and wipe away your tears, this is just the beginning. When the screening is over, those who have denied you will not need to speak, and there will be fans who will seek justice for you. Let’s go, and you will be thanking you!’
‘Thank you oppa, I really can’t help it!’
As the leading female lead in this movie, Park Bo-young knows very well how much pressure the crew members have been under during this period. Not only her and Cha Tae-hyun, but also Lee Sung-hyun, as the screenwriter and producer, isn’t it?
Ignoring the ridicule and denial from the outside world, everyone held back their energy and strived to shoot this movie to perfection. Now that it is time to gain, it is inevitable that Park Bo Young is excited!
After reappearing, the three hosts also interviewed some artists about watching the movie. The artists who were interviewed temporarily gave high praise to this movie. As for the fans, they were naturally very satisfied.
With the help of this grand premiere and the end of the premiere, the movie fans who watched the movie successively gave comments. The box office results of the "extraordinary anchor" movie, which seemed to be filmed at a low cost, continued to rise.
The popularity of the filming cost exceeding one million in three days and recovering the shooting cost in four days is extremely popular. Those who know about this bet think that such a bet is a joke. The number of viewers of three million is definitely no problem! (To be continued)
