Chapter 251 Jung Eun-ji's Concert

Chapter 251 Jung Eun-ji's Concert
Although the movie "Reality" received poor reviews on Naver.

But it still couldn't resist the audience's enthusiasm to watch Kim Soo Hyun and Choi Sulli.

From the perspective of marketing gimmicks, "Reality" is quite successful.

Before the movie was released, it dominated the hot searches with the animated picture of Choi Sulli taking off her clothes.

Both the casting and the large-scale scenes have attracted widespread attention.

Therefore, this movie is full of topics without any hype.

The most important thing is that the pre-sale box office of this movie is higher than that of "Bhunga".

Therefore, in terms of marketing, "The Untamed" is inferior to "The Reality".

This has something to do with production costs.

Therefore, if "Bhunga" wants to achieve higher box office and theater screenings, a roadshow is necessary.

Roadshow is all about communicating well with theaters.

When a group of main creative staff come to your cinema for a roadshow, the film scheduling should be tilted to a certain extent.

Audiences also buy movie tickets because they want to interact closely with the artists.

So of course theaters have to reciprocate and increase their screenings.

If the roadshow is well arranged, it can at least influence the screening schedules of hundreds of cinemas, which is very helpful for the box office.

The process of the roadshow is actually about telling the story of creation, how hard the filming process was, the funny things that happened during the process, and the actors’ understanding of the characters.

Even though it's not very interesting, movie fans love to interact with their own artists.

Although Sol Kyung-gu's status in the Peninsula film industry has reached its ceiling, he still works hard and continues to do roadshows.

You know, roadshows are very tiring.

After seven games a day, even a young man like Jin Qixuan could hardly bear it, let alone the older Lao Xue.

Although it is hard work, the results are remarkable.

The first day’s box office will be counted the next day.

"Bhunga" attracted 28.3 viewers.

"Reality" attracted 14.6 viewers.

"Reality", which was the pre-sale box office champion, lost to "The Buhanna", which received rave reviews at Cannes, on the first day.

The rating of "The Untamed" on Naver was a bit inflated, and it dropped to 8.6 points in one day.

Overall, there are more positive reviews.

The rating of "Reality" dropped from 4.3 to 3.8, and its reputation is extremely bad.

It is said that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

This movie perfectly illustrates this statement.

The first-day result of nearly 150,000 moviegoers is not high for a movie with a production volume of over 10 billion yuan, but it can be considered barely passing.

However, due to the influence of word of mouth, "Reality" encountered Choi Sulli's large-scale scenes being secretly filmed and leaked on the second day of its release.

The only highlight and gimmick was leaked by Reuters, which made the movie a complete flop.

The next day.

The box office performance of "Bhunga" has steadily improved, reaching 500,000 moviegoers.

However, "Reality" suffered a Waterloo, with the cumulative box office revenue in two days adding up to only 200,000 moviegoers.

This also made Kim Soo Hyun the first time to become a hot topic because of a bad movie.

Even the media, who have always been tolerant and friendly to Kim Soo-hyun, couldn't help but start criticizing him.

The filming of the movie "Real" started after Kim Soo-hyun finished starring in "Producer".

The film went through a series of changes in directors, county magistrates, and a release date that was never set. It was finally rated R19 and was finally released after all that trouble.

After the original director Lee Jung-seop was replaced, Kim Soo-hyun's cousin Lee Sharon took over the director position.

After all, they are family, so he naturally filmed "Reality" as Kim Soo Hyun's personal home show.

He plays three roles at once, and most of the scenes in the entire movie focus on him.

In fact, Kim Soo Hyun’s acting skills are impeccable and he has not let his cousin down at all.

When there are not many lines.

Just through body language and facial details, Kim Soo-hyun was able to play three roles and four personalities very well without being out of character at all.

What's even more difficult is that the two Kim Soo Hyun became more and more alike in the later stages because one was trying hard to imitate the other.

So how to perform these subtle differences in imitation is the most complicated and the most challenging part for acting skills.

And Kim Soo Hyun passed this level.

I have to say that Kim Soo-hyun gave a performance worthy of an Oscar winner in this film, which was really amazing.

But despite this, the plot is really a bit gripping.

The great thing about this movie is that it once again breaks through the narrative routine of Peninsula commercial films.

From the very beginning, it was not intended for the audience to understand what the director was filming.

The most confusing part of the whole film for the audience is that there are three Kim Soo Hyuns in one movie.

Later on, the director directly filmed Kim Soo-hyun as a superhero.

When he swings his fist, there is a loud sound like thunder, which can knock the enemy into the sky.

The ending clip was supposed to be a fist-fighting scene, but it ended up being an awkward ballet on ice.

Kim Soo Hyun can knock his enemies away with just his "kingly aura"...

With this kind of illogical plot design, I guess no one would watch it a second time except for the true fans.

However, let me speak responsibly.

Choi Sulli's acting in this movie is really good.

The character she plays in this film is always wavering between the three Kim Soo Hyuns.

This kind of play is the most difficult to perform.

Because the function of this role is to set off the male protagonist, it is easy for her to be turned into a symbol.

But Choi Sulli used her acting skills to give this tragic character a sense of presence.

The love between young men and women in the gangster world is just a soft spot among the tempered steel.

The most feared thing is that too much is as bad as too little.

But Choi Sulli's performance in the film is just the right scale and intensity.

It can be said that her acting skills here are definitely promising and she is definitely qualified to be a rival for the three gold medals in Chungmuro in the future.

If she develops step by step, her future achievements cannot be underestimated.

But... due to her real life reputation, her acting skills in the film may be overlooked by the audience's stereotypes.

In fact, even if she doesn't film or appear on TV shows, it won't be a problem for her to make a name for herself with her resources in the fashion circle.

After all, she is the first female artist in SM Entertainment to appear on the cover of ELLE, one of the top five women's magazines.

Even though it’s the May issue, this issue is fully sponsored by Dior!

June 4th, weekend.

After three consecutive days and twenty road shows, Xue Jingqiu's old bones were almost falling apart.

However, in order to win the weekend box office championship, he gritted his teeth and persevered through the day.

Although the process was arduous, when everyone learned the box office results on Monday, they all felt that the hard work was worth it.

"Bhunga" attracted nearly 80 moviegoers over the two days of the weekend.

With a market share of 52.6%, it topped the weekend box office charts.

It really paid off for Jin Qixuan and Xue Jingqiu to run 25 roadshows in four days.

The number of screenings and the number of showings in all theaters are much higher than those of other competing films.

And "Reality" is the first competitor of "Bhunha".

A total of 30 viewers were attracted over the two days of the weekend, and the cumulative box office barely reached viewers.

For a multi-billion dollar movie, this result is dismal.

It is said that the cinema plans to directly remove the film from the screen.

It would be a waste of time to continue showing this kind of data.

It would be better to save the time and schedule an extra show of "The Untamed".

As a competitor, Jin Qixuan was happy that the film performed so poorly.

But as a colleague, he felt sad for Kim Soo-hyun's Waterloo.

No one can be successful forever, and not all actors are acting geniuses like Yoo Ah-in.

Therefore, Jin Qixuan plans to take some time to calm down after finishing filming "My First Brother" and the new work written by screenwriter Kim Eun-sook.

Monday, June 5th.

Because the box office performance prospects are very good.

The crew gave Lao Xue, who was about to fall apart, a day off to have a good rest.

Jin Qixuan also benefited from this and was able to take a day off.

He didn't just lie down at home to rest, but was invited to attend Jung Eun-ji's first solo concert.

Jung Eun-ji's concert was held on the weekend of the 3rd and 4th.

At that time, Jin Qixuan was unable to leave, so she did not go. However, at the strong request of her fans, she held an encore concert at the original venue on Monday.

So, Kim Ki-hyeon asked Park Bo-young to go watch it together.

Like Han Hyo Joo, Park Bo Young was surprised when she saw Kim Ki Heon for the first time and was amazed at how much weight he had lost.

She knew that Kim Ki-hyun was going to lose weight to shape his role in a new movie with Lee Kwang-soo, but she didn't expect Kim Ki-hyun to lose so much weight.

Jin Qixuan smiled and said, "Basic, but Sister Baoying seems to have recovered well. Any news about the new film?"

"Yeah." Park Bo-young nodded and said, "The new film is a love movie, it's already been decided."

"A romance movie? I, An Min Hyuk, disagree!"

"Hahaha~"

Seeing Park Bo Young's eyes curved with laughter, Jin Qixuan curled his lips and asked curiously, "Who is the male lead this time?"

"I don't know, it hasn't been finalized yet. Rumor has it that the director is in contact with Kang Ha Neul."

"Jiang Ha?" Jin Qixuan thought about it in his mind and nodded: "Not bad, it didn't lower the appearance of our ex-husband group."

……

The two chatted all the way until they arrived at Ewha Womans University.

After showing the concert ticket to the security personnel, he was allowed to enter.

After receiving Jung Eun-ji's cheering light board and glow sticks at the entrance of the venue, the two entered the venue and found the seats listed on the tickets and sat down.

After sitting down, Jin Qixuan looked around.

The auditorium of Ewha Womans University can accommodate about two thousand people, and it is almost full now.

Today is still Monday, and it’s the third game.

It can be seen that Jung Eun-ji's die-hard fans are very loyal.

After Kim Ki-hyun and Park Bo-young took a photo and checked in at their seats, they waited obediently for the concert to begin.

As the lights suddenly dimmed, everyone realized that Jung Eun-ji was about to appear.

As a result, the entire venue became silent in an instant.

Soon, the sound of light wind chimes was heard in the venue.

Then, the melodious accompaniment of harmonica and guitar chords sounded.

At the same time, a cold spotlight hit Jung Eun-ji's head in the center of the stage.

Hearing the familiar prelude, the fans sitting in the venue shouted the song's cheering slogan:
"Even if cherry blossoms are annoying, Jung Eun-ji is not annoying!"

"You're such a spring, Zheng! En! Di!"

"Wow~"

Accompanied by the cheers of fans, Jung Eun-ji stood on the stage, picked up the microphone, showed her signature smile, and slowly began to sing:
“Spring is coming again”

"I hate cherry blossoms because of me"

“Meet the lonely season again”

"got windy"

……

Jung Eun-ji's song "A Spring Like You" is the same as Lee Ji-eun's "Beyond Spring, Love and Cherry Blossoms".

These are the voices of bitter single people when spring comes and flowers bloom.

But Jung Eun-ji sang with a very healing feeling.

Maybe it was because of the third game.

She was in great spirits on stage.

He looks like he really enjoys singing.

Coupled with her sweet smile.

Jin Qixuan, who was watching in the audience, couldn't help but pick up the glow stick and slowly swayed along with her singing.

After singing one song, Jung Eun-ji did not stop and sang the second song "Girl's Boy" in succession.

This is a song for which she wrote the lyrics herself. It has a cheerful rhythm and a rare lively girlish style.

The melody is similar to Lee Ji-eun's new song "This Moment", both of which make people feel happy when listening to them.

After the song was over, Jung Eun-ji sat on a chair and greeted everyone:
"Hello everyone, I am Jung Eun-ji of APink who is having my last concert today. I am glad to see you all~"

"Wow~"

"Everyone knows that yesterday was originally the last concert, but today is the encore concert. At first, I was worried about how to arrange the program, afraid of making mistakes. But then I thought, I was lazy and copied the process of the last two concerts~"

Jung Eun-ji's playful look caused the fans at the scene to scream wildly.

"Let me ask you, please raise your hands if you are going to attend all three concerts."

When the words fell, 70% of the people at the scene raised their hands, which surprised Jung Eun-ji.

"What about those who have watched two shows?"

About 20% of the people raised their hands.

“Is this the first time you’ve seen it today?”

Kim Ki-hyeon and Park Bo-young raised their hands in response.

Because the venue was not large, there were not many people, and there were not many people raising their hands, Jung Eun-ji quickly noticed Kim Ki-hyeon.

"Okay, then friends who have seen it, don't be too obvious and don't tell the people next to you what the next song is."

"Inside~"

On the stage, Jung Eun-ji was chatting with the fans as if she was chatting with a friend.

Park Bo-young, who was in the audience, gently nudged Kim Ki-hyun.

Jin Qixuan turned his head and asked silently what was going on.

“Will Eunji sing the OST of our drama?”

"She doesn't have many songs, she will definitely sing them."

Park Bo Young nodded and said nothing.

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan thought for a moment, put his hands on his mouth and shouted at the top of his voice: "It's called your courtyard!!!"

On the stage, Jung Eun-ji was chatting with the audience with a smile on her face.

Jin Qixuan's sudden shout made her pause and her eyes widen.

Following the voice, Jung Eun-ji saw that it was Kim Ki-hyeon and laughed so hard that her neck was tilted back.

“kkkk…my friend at the back, please be quiet.”

It would have been fine if Jung Eun-ji hadn't said anything, and everyone would have thought it was some fanatical male fan and would have been used to it.

But when Jung Eun-ji said this, all the audience turned their heads and looked at Kim Ki-hyeon.

If it was a concert like Lee Ji-eun's with tens of thousands of people, Kim Ki-hyeon might not be recognized because the venue is too big and there are too many people to see clearly.

But in this small venue with only more than 2,000 people, Jin Qixuan, who became the focus, was naturally recognized.

Plus the popular Baeksang Arts actress Park Bo-young next to her.

There was an instant "Ah" sound and everyone at the scene screamed.

Many people started taking out their mobile phones to take pictures.

Seeing this, Jung Eun-ji on the stage became unhappy and said with her hands on her hips:

"Look, I'm here! Why are you looking over there! I'm the protagonist of this concert, look at me!"

"Hahaha~"

The audience burst into laughter.

Seeing that everyone's attention was on her, Jung Eun-ji picked up the microphone and said:
"Everyone knows that I sang the OST of a popular drama some time ago, right?"

The fans in the audience responded: "Yes~"

"Have you watched "Strong Woman Do Bong-soon"? "

"Seen!"

Zheng Endi patted her chest proudly and said:

"Every time the OST appears with the love scenes in this drama, it is sung by me."

As she spoke, Jung Eun-ji looked at Kim Ki-hyun and Park Bo-young and said:

"The leading male and female actors of this drama are also here."

Seeing this, the screams at the scene boiled over again.

"Wow~"

After the cheers died down a bit, Jung Eun-ji smiled and said:

"Well, the next song is 'The Courtyard Called Yours'. Please enjoy it."
