In the first quarter of 2021, the Korean cinema line was very deserted, basically no heavyweight new films were released, and most of the movies released in Korean theaters were imported into new films or old movies.
On March 31, a blockbuster new film was finally released, "Zishan Fish Recipe", a black-and-white film with historical themes, which tells the birth process of Korea's earliest fish picture book.
"Zishan Fish Recipe" is directed by the big director Li Maoyi, the director's most famous work is "Suyuan", he has also filmed "Si Mourning", "Lang in the Distance", "The King's Man" and other classic films.
This time, it was shot again, and a word-of-mouth masterpiece was achieved, "Zishan Fish Recipe" is the 14th work of director Li Maoyi.
On the South Korean Naver platform, South Korean audiences scored a high score of 9.3, while the media score was 7.0 points, the overall score was 9.0 points, and the word-of-mouth score was very good, and "Zishan Fish Recipe" is the highest rated new Korean film so far in 2021.
On the first day of release, "Zishan Fish Recipe" beat new films such as "Godzilla vs. King Kong" and "Minari" and rushed to the top of the Korean Daily box office, with a box office revenue of 220 million won on that day.
"Zishan Fish Recipe" is starring Xue Jingqiu, Bian Youhan, Li Yaoyi, Mindu Xi, Liu Chenglong, etc., which is Xue Jingqiu's new work after "Suyuan" and director Li Maoyi.
In this new film, Xue Jingqiu starred in Ding Ruoquan, who was exiled to Montenegro Island, Ding Ruoquan was once a courtier, because he had traveled with people who received Western learning ideas, he also believed in Catholicism, but later, Catholicism was characterized as a "cult" and banned, Ding Ruoquan was implicated and exiled, and went to Montenegro Island, where he established a compound fast on the island to educate the youth on the island.
At the same time, he wrote books such as "Zishan Fish Recipe" and "Analects of Difficulty", but only "Zishan Fish Recipe" was handed down.
The focus of "Zishan Fish Recipe" is the story between Ding Ruoquan and a fisherman named Changda on Montenegro Island, focusing on the friendship between the two, which has both realistic history, moving emotions and profound connotations.
