This week, the movie "Luck Key" has a cumulative audience of more than 4 million on its 11th day of release, becoming the fastest comedy film to exceed 4 million viewers.
On the afternoon of October 19, the online movie "Secret Service" held a media test screening at CGV, Yongsan, Seoul. Director Jin Jian, together with the main actors Kim Sang-jung, King Kong Yu and Zhou Yuan, appeared and told the behind-the-scenes story of the film's production.
The sci-fi monster-themed online movie "Secret Service" is divided into two parts, with a length of only 33 minutes, and was released on the Internet on October 21. Set against the backdrop of monster-ridden South Korea, the three generations of veteran, middle-aged and young secret service personnel have been unanimously praised for their gorgeous gunfight scenes, action scenes and eye-catching car chase scenes in the process of catching monsters.
In order to improve the worldview of the story and create a unique IP, the online movie and the webcomic are online at the same time, the timeline and the story line complement each other, and it is also a preliminary test for the future production of growth films.
As for the original intention of making the film, the representative of the production company Yoon Chang-yek explained: "It is really difficult to make a sci-fi action commercial blockbuster in South Korea. After director Bong Joon-ho made "The Monster of the Han River" 10 years ago, there has hardly been such a genre film in the past decade. If such content is to be made into a long film, it will require at least more than 10 billion production costs, and it is difficult to attract investment. We just made a 33-minute medium-length movie and it also needed a high investment, so there was indeed a ppl (implanted advertising) part of the investment. But we have good directors, actors, and skills and abilities that we want to show in this way. If we can get everyone's attention and support, and get more investment, then our preparation for feature films can also bear fruit. I hope that everyone can use inclusive vision to see the test and challenge of this time. ”
Director Jin Jian, who won awards at several international short film festivals for his first public debut with the sci-fi action short film "Never Stop" when he was a student, said: "If you want to make a feature film, you need more tests and practice, and it is the biggest regret that this online movie can't tell all the stories clearly." And webcomics and movies, together, can complement each other. ”
Director Yan Tae-hwa, who has gained attention with his independent film "Fighting Youth", joined hands with Jiang Dongyuan and newcomer Shin Yinxiu to create a fantasy movie full of topicality, "Covered Time". The film will be released on November 10.
"Covered Time" tells the story of Cheng Min (Jiang Dongyuan) suddenly returns a few days after the mysterious disappearance of Hualu Island, and the only person who believes in him is the young girl Xiulin (Shen Yinxiu), and the film will tell a special story that the two do not know. This is the first time that director Yan Taihua has directed a commercial film. It is also the big-screen debut of newcomer actress Shin Yinxiu selected through auditions.
