Chapter 341: The Evil Man's Story
The recording of "Entertainer Agent" has ended.
Immediately afterwards, Kim Ki-hyeon, Ma Dong-seok and Kim Mu-yeol did not stop for a moment.
Immediately start recording the next show.
In just one week.
The three of them participated in almost every variety show that could promote the movie.
So, over the next two weeks.
Audiences will be able to see them frequently in various variety shows and broadcasts on the Peninsula.
At the same time, trailers for "The Evil Dead" are frequently broadcast on major online platforms and TV stations.
Its adrenaline-pumping fighting scenes and thrilling suspense segments immediately attracted the attention of countless viewers.
Saturday, April 25th.
The variety show "Entertainment Agency" where Kim Kye-hyun, Ma Dong-seok and Kim Mu-yeol first promoted the movie "The Devil" was broadcast.
The program team is well aware of the "Jin Qixuan effect".
When the trailer was played, almost all the clips were about Jin Qixuan's conversation, in order to attract the audience's attention.
Not to mention, this careful planning by the program team immediately aroused enthusiastic response from Jin Qixuan's fans.
At night, nine fifteen.
After the commercials, KBS 2TV aired this episode of "Entertainment Agent."
At the beginning of the program, the trailer of the movie was played.
However, this trailer is different from the version that was previously played online.
Previously, the trailer of "The Evil Dead" released online was version A.
The 90-second promotional video mainly features Ma Dong-seok.
Such as the cruelty of a human sandbag, the oppressive feeling of a back covered with tattoos, the well-received slap in the face to cure insomnia, and the scene where the teeth of the opponent's younger brother are pulled out and put in a wine glass, forcing Liu Zaiming (played by Liu Zaiming) to drink it.
Jin Qixuan is an important character throughout the whole story.
Only half of his face is revealed in the last few seconds of the trailer, giving people a mysterious feeling.
It whetted the audience's appetite and expectations.
In the B version of the trailer, Jin Qixuan plays a much larger role than in the A version.
The shot starts.
It was the scene of Jin Qixuan stabbing people crazily in the car on a rainy night.
Then, the camera switched to him beating a grandfather, a female high school student, and a truck driver at the dog farm.
And the scene where he wanted to kill the restaurant owner at the end, but didn't do it because of Kim Woo Yeol's sudden appearance.
Although these scenes only last for a short moment.
But because of its continuous appearance, it gives people a great visual impact.
Especially at the end of the trailer.
Jin Qixuan stood in the rain with a strange smile on his face. The dagger in his hand was still dripping with blood. He said in a low voice: "Can you kill someone?"
Along with the appearance of this sentence.
The camera quickly switches from a long shot to a close shot.
The picture finally froze on Jin Qixuan's face.
A pair of eyes that are indifferent to everything makes people shudder.
Then, the narrator said:
"He is evil without cause."
"It's a chaotic, indiscriminate, random crime."
"He is a born devil and a madman."
"But such a madman met a policeman who was crazier than him and a criminal gang leader who was more cunning than both of them."
“What kind of story will happen when all the villains collide?”
“Please look forward to the movie - "The Evil Dead"!”
“On May 15th, we will reveal the answer with you!”
As soon as the words fell.
The trailer ends.
The scene in the show switched to Kim Mu-yeol holding a mobile camera, greeting the audience with Kim Kye-hyun and Ma Dong-seok.
At this moment, the audience were just shocked by Jin Qixuan's crazy killing in the trailer.
When I suddenly saw Jin Qixuan's familiar, sunny and handsome face, I felt a little disconnected.
In an instant, the barrage of comments from people watching the show on their computers started rolling.
[I was scared to death! ]
[Is that really Jin Qixuan in the trailer just now? ]
[I can't see any trace of his other roles at all! ]
[Jin Qixuan's performance this time completely subverted his previous image! ]
【This is the plasticity of actors! 】
[It is undoubtedly the eight-colored bird. ]
[Oh my god! This trailer is completely different from the previous one! ]
[Yes, although the previous one was also very exciting, I have to say that this one is more exciting. Jin Qixuan didn't have a single line, but he created a very good atmosphere.]
[He is a ruthless person who doesn’t talk much. 】
[Jin Qixuan's acting is really amazing, especially that smile at the end, it gave me goosebumps. ]
[Yes, that look is so scary. Even as a boy like me, I feel a chill down my spine.]
[Indeed, the last person who gave me this feeling was the principal in The Crucible. The actor was a good person, but he played the villain in a way that was chilling.]
[Jin Qixuan's acting is amazing! ]
[I’m so excited, I can’t get enough of the trailer! ]
[Expectations +100, but I still have to wait another two weeks to see it, it’s so painful! ]
…
Looking at the scrolling comments, the head of the TV station couldn't stop laughing.
The Jin Qixuan effect really works! The show has just started, and the ratings are far higher than other shows in the same time slot.
Who knows, it may even break the show’s all-time highest ratings!
…
Because of the influence of the trailer and the fan effect.
At the beginning of the show, everyone's attention was on Jin Qixuan.
But after chatting for a while.
Everyone's attention was unconsciously drawn to Ma Dongseok.
After all, he is the main guest, so the MC naturally has to interact more with Ma Dong-seok.
Plus, he's so big that it's hard not to notice him.
Moreover, it is different from the appearance.
Ma Dong-seok has a shy and honest personality and speaks slowly, which gives people a cute contrast.
But, soon.
The attention of the audience watching the show shifted to Jin Qixuan again as the MC asked him questions.
"Because the two movies "The Evil Dead" and "Parasite" were released very close to each other, I would like to ask, which of these two roles was more difficult for you to perform?"
Hearing the question, Kim Ki-hyun in the picture answered without hesitation: "Of course it's Kim Ki-woo in Parasite."
“…”
At this moment, the audience who were watching the show were instantly conquered after listening to Jin Qixuan's long speech.
Especially when Jin Qixuan said, "The truly terrible poverty is the poverty of thought," it resonated with countless audiences.
As the saying goes - thoughts are the ladder of human progress! [Wow, Jin Qixuan's understanding of acting is so profound! ]
[No wonder he won two Best Actor awards for "My First Brother". With such acting skills, understanding and awareness, it is impossible not to admire him! ]
[Jin Qixuan's understanding of the role is indeed very profound. After hearing what you said, I am looking forward to "Parasite" even more. ]
[Yes, before, I only paid attention to the fact that "Parasite" is a movie about the poor and the rich. After listening to Jin Qixuan's words, I realized that my previous thoughts were too one-sided and too simple! ]
[This is what makes our Qixuan so great! He always makes people see his shining points! ]
[Yes, from relying on his looks to becoming a powerful actor, he has been improving and breaking through himself every time! ]
…
Watching the comments scrolling on the show.
The PD of "Entertainment Agent" once again smiled so hard that his eyebrows were not visible.
It was a great decision to invite Jin Qixuan here!
The ratings of this episode will definitely set a new record! When we promote "Parasite" in a few days, we will invite him to come! In the meantime.
With the end of the show and the release of the B version trailer of "The Villain".
Jin Qixuan's popularity on the Internet has risen again.
Countless netizens and fans are discussing Jin Qixuan's performance in the trailer of "The Devil".
in.
The most discussed topic is Jin Qixuan's smile in the last scene of the trailer.
[Did you notice that Jin Qixuan’s smile in the trailer is more restrained than Han Xiugang’s smile in “Brave Citizens”, but it feels… more terrifying! ”
[Indeed, that smile is really... I can smell the blood through the screen. ]
[Yeah, now when I think about it, I feel a chill down my spine. Is this really the well-behaved Jin Qixuan in the show?]
[Is the above person stupid? That is a character. Can the character be the same as the person himself? ]
[That’s right, if you don’t even understand the trailer, what’s the point of watching a movie? ]
[Jin Qixuan's acting skills are really amazing. Even a smile can make people shudder.]
[I have already moved my stool and waited for the release of "The Evil Dead". 】
…
Looking at the overwhelming discussions on the Internet and Jin Qixuan's high popularity.
Lee Won-tae, the director of "The Evil Dead," couldn't stop laughing.
Originally, he was worried that because of Jin Qixuan's outstanding performance in "My First Brother", the audience would be distracted when watching him play the role of "Jiang Jinghao".
Now it seems that he was completely overthinking.
With just one trailer, Jin Qixuan conquered the audience with his best-selling-award-winning performance.
With the heated discussion on the Internet.
The popularity of the movie "The Evil Dead" has soared again.
In an instant, the film became the most anticipated local film in May.
Speaking of which, the competition in May this year was not fierce at all.
Including "The Evil Dead", a total of 4 local films were released.
(Parasite was released on May 30, so it was kicked out of the May schedule.) Policewoman, starring Ra Mi-ran and Lee Sung-kyung, was released on May 9.
This film is also our sister Cui Youdu's first big screen work.
In addition, "The Jurors", starring veteran actress Moon So-ri, will be released on May 15th.
And, "Little Client", starring Lee Dong-hui for the first time, will be released on May 22.
The film "Little Client" is about child abuse.
Although the film is also adapted from real events.
But compared to films like "The Crucible" and "Hope", it still lacks in terms of attention and topicality.
Because most of the young people on the peninsula have already started.
Once upon a time, people on the peninsula believed in "four ups and five downs".
That is to say, if students can get into SKY (three top universities in Seoul, Korea, and Yonsei) by getting up at four o'clock to review, getting up at five o'clock is already too late.
However, when those students who spent huge amounts of money on tutoring and hair and finally got admitted to SKY University saw the 0.5% acceptance rate of Samsung, Hyundai and other companies after graduation, they were directly despaired.
I don’t want my children to go through the same life I have.
(Huge tuition fees, housing prices, school and workplace bullying, etc.) Therefore, no one has children on the peninsula now.
No matter how your government stimulates childbirth or provides subsidies, people just won’t have children.
So, they are even less interested in movies about child abuse.
Therefore, it is destined that the box office performance of the movie "The Little Client" in the local market will not be high.
Now, a film that can pose a threat to "The Evil Dead".
One is the already released "Avengers 4", and the other is the upcoming "Godzilla 2".
However, "Avengers 4" has been released for half a month, and the popularity has long since subsided.
In addition, with the running time of "Avengers 4" more than three hours, except for the IMAX theater.
An ordinary cinema can only show a few shows a day.
Therefore, it does not pose much threat to "The Evil Dead".
As for the Hollywood blockbuster "Godzilla 2", it can indeed pose a threat to "Godzilla: Ragnarok".
However, Jin Qixuan believes that "Godzilla: Ragnarok" will definitely not be worse than "Godzilla 2".
After all, the plot of "Godzilla 2" is ridiculous and illogical, and only the special effects are worth watching.
It's a pretty bad movie.
(Note: The above views only represent the views of Jin Qixuan of this book and have nothing to do with the author.) …
The three main creative staff frequently appeared on variety shows for ten consecutive days to promote "The Evil Dead".
Basically, the film's publicity momentum in the peninsula has reached its peak.
The four most important promotional channels left are a production conference, a media preview, a VIP preview and the Cannes Midnight Screening Unit.
On April 29th.
Jin Qixuan finally had a short break.
It is said to be short-lived.
Because tomorrow he will start promoting the movie "Parasite" with the crew...
Jin Qixuan has two things to do during today's break.
The first is to discuss the drama "Six Rounds" in detail with director Hwang Dong Hyuk.
The second is to visit Lee Ji-eun on set.
"Hotel Denarau" started filming in mid-April.
TV series like this one, which have a lot of CG special effects, are all semi-pre-produced.
——That is, shoot a few episodes in advance to prevent the shooting progress from not keeping up with the broadcasting progress due to heavy workload in the later stage.
Our classmate Ji Eun joined the group directly after completing her last concert of the Asia tour in Jeju Island.
This also resulted in the two of them not seeing each other for the past month and a half.
Usually I rely on phone calls and video calls to relieve the pain of missing someone.
…
morning.
Kim Ki-hyeon arrives at director Hwang Dong-hyuk's studio.
After a brief greeting, Jin Qixuan asked a few questions of his own.
"PDnim Huang, I want to know why this drama is not called "Squid Game"?"
Huang Donghe said helplessly:
“Because the producer dad felt that the title of ‘Squid Game’ would not resonate with people.”
“…”
It must be said that calling it "Squid Game" can at least evoke memories of people in the 1980s.
Who can resonate with your "Six Rounds"?
In fact, Huang Donghe thought so too.
He began to conceive and write this script in 2008.
As for why the filming was delayed until now.
Because no one invested, casting was not easy.
He finally found Netflix willing to invest, but he couldn't say anything when they wanted to change the name.
"I still think it sounds better called Squid Game."
Hearing this, Huang Donghe nodded in agreement and said, "I feel the same way."
"Then you try again?"
“…”
Huang Donghe was silent for a while, then said, "Let's put this matter aside for now. I will communicate with the producer and talk about your next question later."
"Okay, I want to know why the director chose me to play the male lead?"
"This drama will be released globally in the future, so Netflix wants to invite actors who have international influence."
International? Global? Hearing this, Jin Qixuan was stunned and asked in surprise: "Excuse me, who else will be starring in this drama?"
Huang Dong Hyuk did not hide it and said frankly: "In addition to you, I also invited Yoo Ah In, Gong Yoo, and Lee Byung Hun."
Good boy! If all four of them acted in this scene.
Then the attention to this drama was immediately maxed out.
Moreover, Jin Qixuan also wanted to cooperate with them.
but……
"Director, are you sure they will all take the role?"
"uncertain."
“…”
In fact, I was chatting with Huang Donghe for a few sentences.
Kim Ki-hyeon already knows about this drama and will digest it within Chungmuro.
Therefore, there will be no such thing as the online drama lowering its quality.
