Korean Entertainment: Predators in RM

On December 23rd in New York, USA, at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, assistant director David asked Chadhe to pick up Han Zaidao at the door of the premiere early, and he was accompanied by the soul of the film, who runs through the entire plot of the film. That dog.

As the leading actor, Han Zaidao had to come to the premiere early to prepare to accompany the assistant director David to deal with reporters. Fortunately, the premiere was located 1,500 meters directly north of Grandpa Han Zaidao's home in Dongcheng District. Even if the road was very congested, it only took 5 minutes to get there.

Although he arrived very early, as the director and starring actor, Han Zaidao could only sit backstage and wait for all the guests to enter before he and deputy director David went to the stage to answer questions.

A red carpet was prepared in front of the cinema. Even though the movie did not star any big-name Hollywood stars, the assistant director David, who has been in the industry for twenty years, still had stars he had worked with to support him.

In fact, apart from a few professional film magazine reporters, few of the reporters waiting here are here for movies. Most of them are here to take photos of celebrities.

After all, although this movie has been promoted for two months, it has no stars, relies on a Chinese man, and I heard that this is his first time filming a movie, how can this movie have a good box office?

The first to arrive were William, who had played the Green Goblin, and then Alan, who played Theon in Game of Thrones.

When these two people came together, all the reporters at the scene became excited. Just based on the red carpet photo of these two people, it was worthwhile to come here.

William is one of the more popular movie supporting actors in Hollywood right now, and his movie was nominated for the Golden Lion Award in 2014.

As someone who plays a more important role, he has to come to support him no matter what.

Allen, who worked together as a partner, joined the cast of the HBO TV series"Game of Thrones" in 2011 and played Theon Greyjoy, Eddard Stark's adopted son and hostage.

In 2013, he starred in the short film"The Body" and was nominated for Best Actor in the Short Film International Section of the 2014 CinEuphoria Awards for this film. He is also a well-known star.

Then, Michael, one of the villains, also appeared, making the reporter below secretly sigh at the friendship of assistant director David.

When all the guests arrived, assistant director David returned to the backstage, and Han Zaidao also stepped onto the stage from the side. It must be said that his body, temperament, and appearance are all what Europeans and Americans think are sexy and handsome.

Before even asking questions, some reporters had already begun to change their attitudes and waste film.

Since Han Zaido had shaved his beard, it was very different from the previously released posters, and he was actually not photogenic. So when the reporter saw him, he immediately sighed at his face. It was just like the one who looked directly like him decades ago. Just like Mr. Zunlong who conquered Hollywood with his acting skills and appearance.

After the questioning started, most of the questions were given to Han Zai Daoshen, who is the main director and starring actor.

Han Zaidao didn't have any stage fright when faced with the reporter's confrontation. Not only did he answer the questions beautifully, he also showed off his skills from time to time, making the adults present laugh.

After more than an hour of opening, the movie finally started.

The distribution company's logo fades and the picture becomes brighter. The noisy car radio and Han Zaido who was shot in the abdomen form the opening of a movie.

Faced with the gray life after his wife passed away and he retired as a killer, many spectators in the audience began to sigh and use modalities in harmony with the plot. Some reporters even began to forget their own jobs and join this army of modalities. middle.

When the movie reached its first climax, when the protagonist John, played by Han Zaido, was sneak-attacked by a gangster, the whole cinema actually rang out a neat sound of"garbage" that was similar to a curse word.

The audience looks at the plot, while the industry insiders look at the door. The movie stars, directors, and film critics in front of them have already roughly understood that the film of assistant director David is undoubtedly successful.

There is nothing artificial about this movie, inside or out. In the entire movie so far, the number of actors who have shown their faces has not exceeded 20.

Han Zaido's acting skills are very strong, coupled with his excellent grasp of lines, it can be said that the audience has been fascinated.

After all, if a movie with this theme performs well at the box office, the media will not be allowed to sing the opposite.

Now let’s go back and praise the director and actors. If the later movie succeeds at the box office, we will brag about it. If the movie fails at the box office, we will discuss the poor structure and the plot that is unfortunately not perfect.

When the audience originally thought John was rubbish, through the explanations from the second-hand dealer at the car lot and the gangster's father, the audience finally had a correct understanding of John's strength, and the word"Night Devil" was deeply remembered by them. Living.

When the first climax began, and the 12 killers shot by the underworld were killed by John like chickens, the movie theater even erupted with the word"cool".

Everyone understood that the movie was a huge success.

In the subsequent nightclub murders, when John rushed into the gang's lair with dozens of people alone and killed them all with short gun shooting, there were waves of cheers.

But there are always exceptions. When John was accidentally captured and almost killed by Michael, some people in the cinema even covered their mouths in fear.

Unfortunately, before they could scream, Willem Dafoe, John's friend, took action to kill the person who wanted to kill John, and John directly killed the opponent's top thug with his bound hands.

John, who was freed from the restraints, told the audience what the Night Stalker was through his actions, because he had already memorized the nearby terrain map in his mind, and then intercepted the villain Michael who wanted to run away in advance.

In order to survive, Michael had no choice but to betray his son and exchange his son's life for his own. This caused many viewers in the cinema to curse and call him a coward.

After that, in less than three minutes of film time, John killed all the dozen killers protecting his son one by one, and his son was also beaten to death in front of the container.

It’s just that the relationship between John and William was known to Michael, and Michael killed John’s friend William, which was equivalent to trying to vent his anger in disguise.

Because of this move, he who could have survived did not get on the escape helicopter during the subsequent dock battle. Instead, he was intercepted halfway on the road and killed more than a dozen of his men and himself in one go.

The movie plays here and is announced to be over, and the last scene of the movie, where John adopts another dog, gives the audience the idea that there is a second part of this movie.

As soon as the movie ended, reporters surrounded Zai Dao and asked,"Does the last scene of the movie mean there will be a sequel?"

To this, Zai Dao could only say:"We are busy preparing for"John Wick" The next two installments in the action series are scripted and we hope to shoot the second and third installments back-to-back early next year"

"Oh~ damn! This is really great, but please allow me to apologize to you first, because before watching this movie, I underestimated your acting skills and strength.

This reporter had something to say, and a fat reporter next to him even shrugged:"If someone gives me 10 million to kill Han's dog, then I will definitely throw 10 million in his face." , because maybe only a madman would take on this task."

At the end of the premiere, after bidding farewell to all the people, Han Zaidao found David and Chad and asked them to rest for a while. If nothing else happens, another movie will be released next year..............

The next day, almost all the film critics and reporters who attended the VIP premiere of the movie"John Wick" praised the film's excellence.

On the third day, one newspaper even directly said that at least one of the three best action movies at the end of this year has been booked.

A film review in the New York Entertainment Edition is considered the most fair and appropriate, and the daily's exclusive film and television reviewer commented like this:

Action movies like to have a character who walks in a moral gray area with a complicated background and personality. A stoic action hero stars.

What the audience needs now is a crime movie with clear boundaries and crisp style like"John Wick".

In the film, Jae Do Han plays a retired killer who is once again involved in the dark criminal life of the past because of the indiscretion of the son of an old colleague.

A delightful genre film that's a bright spot in a world dominated by overly complex action films, John Wick offers the kind of decisive and ultra-violent fun.

Although Zai Dao Han is a Chinese, his strength on the screen is irrefutable, and this time he gave a phenomenal screen dominance in"John Wick".

The film goes straight to the theme after a few simple foreshadowings, with a strong Spartan style.

Jae Do-han's performance completes the tone pursued by the film and perfectly interprets an adventure journey. By nature, the character of Wick is prone to violence, and nothing can stop him from taking revenge.

It's rare for a dog's death to be so serious, and it's also because of the character's background that Wick feels so sad about the dog's death.

And Jae Do Han's sincere performance allows the character's simple motivations to evolve into a gangster's revenge in a reasonable way.

The filming of the movie makes it difficult for people to believe that it was shot by Jae Do Han for the first time as a director.

But I have to say that he knows action movies well, and he can present Wick's story to the audience clearly and powerfully.

This simple story inspired the creative passion of the creators. They designed a series of interesting points for Wick to make this ruthless killer more comic-like and cute.

In the film, Wick's effective execution and his exquisite killing techniques allow him to have"84 lives in combat." This number is so exaggerated that everyone thinks it is a joke. These settings want the audience to pay attention to Their visual senses and psychological feelings do not need to pay too much attention to the characters themselves.

《"John Wick" is not a film that wants the audience to"burn their brains", but rather wants the audience to experience a thrilling and exciting journey. With each bullet hitting a character, the audience's tension will rise. A level.

However, any movie has negative reviews, and"John Wick" is no exception. Hollywood film critics even said:

The only shortcoming of the film is the soundtrack. Like everything else in the film, the soundtrack also has a retro style. ——This means that the film is full of guitar-led industrial alternative metal music.

This kind of heavy metal music seems to be overwhelming in some clips. It would be better if some gentle and low-key music can be used to express it.

Where all the current filmmakers want their characters to be physically and emotionally invulnerable, John Wick's hero is flawed, imperfect, but ultimately victorious.

This can be regarded as a satisfactory answer to the"80s tough guy style", just like"Jack Reacher" used modern techniques to"polished" the entire film.

For a time, there were a lot of good and bad reviews like this in Hollywood. However, although the reviews of the movie were very high, everyone also seriously gave predictions of low box office.

A movie without big-name stars is really unlikely to do well at the box office. The magazine with the highest rating believes that the movie is likely to have a box office of 50 million.

But just two weeks later, the media who attended the premiere were all slapped in the face. The main force that slapped them in the face was other media.

In the first week, at the beginning, there were only about a hundred theaters in North America showing the film, and the screening time was moved to the afternoon. However, what the media did not expect was that their admiration attracted quite a few colleagues to go there.

As a result, word of mouth began to ferment. Starting from traditional media, on the third day, newly emerging online media and netizens began to discuss these topics in forums on a large scale.

So starting from the third day, some people took the initiative to ask for information about this movie in the cinema, and more and more such people came, and the cinema was also happy to see such a movie consuming its fixed domestic film quota.

Following this, more large movie screens began to be added, and movie screening time periods were gradually adjusted.

On the one hand, it was the praise of the media, and on the other hand, it was word of mouth from the audience. Finally, after the first week, the movie"John Wick" began to become the mainstream of movie topics.

By the end of the second week, the movie's box office had exceeded 10 million US dollars, but in the third week it had reached 20 million US dollars.

By the end of January, the total box office of"John Wick" within a month was 37.23 million, and this figure is still growing.

Of course, this situation lasted until February. By the time it officially ended, the film's total score exceeded 54 million, which was 11 million higher than Zaidao's previous score as far as he knew.

The popularity of the movie not only increased Han Zaidao's fame, but also brought him a lot of trouble. Often when he was walking on the road, American people with tattoos would come up to him, and then they would be frightened and rush at Han Zaidao. Hold your fists.

This situation reached its peak in the second month of his stay in New York. It was no longer young people who harassed him, but a group of teenagers in some schools who were more difficult to deal with than those adults.

It would be fine if he just wanted to sign autographs or come over to ask how you feel about making movies, but in just two months, he has received hundreds of apprenticeship calls, because Americans all believe that the reason why John can deal with such There are many people because Zai Dao Han has Hua Chao Kung Fu.

Life is so boring and bleak, but even if it is so bleak and busy, Jae Tao still can't appear in RM's filming because he is too busy.

RM's filming missed five episodes in the middle, which made Hanguo's local fans worry that Jae Do would leave RM for acting like Joong Ki. The premiere date of Hanguo's movie was also postponed from January. Come February.

The countries where it was released at the same time include most countries in the world. In just half a month, the total global box office of"John Wick" reached 100 million.

And because of Zaidao's identity as a member of the Chinese Dynasty, this film was not rejected like in its previous life. Instead, it was approved by a certain TV executive and then appeared on the big screen in China.

It was at this time that people in China knew that their country had actually produced another Hollywood actor. But the funny thing is that before this movie, Zaidao originally wanted to appear in domestic variety shows, but he was not allowed to do so. Fame and declined.

After the movie was released, those variety shows found him. Unfortunately, Zaidao's response only had three words:"No time."

After finally surviving his most difficult period in January and February of 2017, Zaidao was finally able to take some rest..

When he thought of resting, this guy didn't even say a word to David or Chad, and just bought a ticket back to Seoul the next day.

In fact, compared to the worries of domestic fans, Zaido was the one who was the most panicked because the master and members called him midway.

The members all believe that Jae Do can quit RM if it is for his career. After all, Jae Do is now one of the leading male actors in Hollywood.

A group of people who were panicking about this, left? joke! He wants to see the day Kwang Soo’s child goes to serve in the military in RM!
