Recently watched a very interesting Korean movie, I began to think that it was a small beauty between a Korean agent and a female star, but the story slammed into the Korean style of thick black political science fraud.
"Dangerous Rumors" is a novel work of Korean grafting entertainment and political themes, the whole film slot and praise coexist, from the story is relatively smooth, with the unique emotional rendering of Korean movies, always hook your attention, all the way to the end of the film.
I suddenly remembered this movie because the best in South Korea broke out again when a female artist was threatened by rumors. The incident in which Former Member of the Korean Girl Group Kara Gu Ho-ra and 27-year-old hair stylist boyfriend Choi Jong-bum beat each other recently caused concern in South Korean society. According to Korean media reports, Choi Jong-fan threatened Hora with a 2-segment, 38-second sex video.
Claiming to "ruin your acting career, I have nothing to lose anyway." The move scared Gu Ho-ra, and South Korean media exposed her kneeling to Choi Jong-bum at the elevator entrance, begging the other side not to leak the video. Korean actors are particularly hardworking, and the slightest wind and grass will make them tremble with fear.
Jeong Do-bin, Lee Eun-joo, u-nee, Choi Jin, Kim Yoo-ri, Ko Woo-ri, Lee Hye-rin, Park Hye-sang... Most of these female stars have embarked on a tragic strange road because they are under great pressure of speech.
In order to be able to take over the film, we must first continuously improve our own strength, and we must also ask those producers and directors. Unspoken rules are rife, the bullying of agents, and the humiliation of upper bosses make the actors who have superficial scenery unbearable.
South Korean actress Zhang Ziyan died because of this. Afterwards, 50 suicide notes, more than 200 pages long, were found in her home, recording more than 30 big-man figures who threatened to sleep with her, and the media was in an uproar and the public was angry.
Stars are influenced by public opinion, which is related to their star path and even their lives. "Dangerous Rumors" takes this as the main line, and also takes a political proposition to expose the audience the delicate relationship between gossip tabloids, celebrities and agents, politicians and female stars. Agent Yu Kun "fell in love at first sight" with the newcomer actress Eun Joo, and also violated the company's regulations and was kicked out of the company.
Eun Joo sees his kindness and wants to be his artist alone. After only collecting 100 won, she officially joined the small company of Yukun, which has only one artist.
From the bottom step by step, Eun Joo gradually became famous, took over the advertisement, and became a supporting role. Seeing that the road is smooth, a large-scale series is about to sign Eun Joo as the heroine, but a shocking scandal unexpectedly broke out.
Overnight, Eun Joo and a male parliamentarian quarreled over a scandal. Without warning, Eun Joo hangs himself in the bathroom at home.
Yu Kun was heartbroken. The two have long since gone beyond the simple relationship between the agent and the artist, and Yu Kun cannot accept such an ending. He begins to investigate who exactly posted the scandal of the mp and Eun Joo, and he doesn't believe Eun Joo would do such a thing behind his back. As the investigation deepened, he found that things had long exceeded his expectations.
It turned out that the information first came from an underground tabloid. This kind of online tabloid is distributed in the form of subscriptions to subscribers, who are often public relations figures or groups of journalists in the government, finance, and entertainment industries.
Tabloid information searchers will inquire about news through various channels and then exchange information with each other, and the information will not be sent to the right media at the first time, but will be released by these tabloids to subscribers, who will choose to expose on a large scale or suppress the news through means as needed.
The scandal between Eun Joo and the lawmakers was released because some people deliberately wanted to influence the lawmakers to run for the presidency of the government. Slowly, a large public relations company surfaced, they took it all in black and white, bribed reporters from large media, "only said good things", and did their best to use underground tabloids to spread scandals, suppress dissidents, and maintain the image of their own politicians.
Simply put, this large public company is the private propaganda apparatus of the upper echelons of politicians. In order to protect Eun Joo's reputation, Yu Kun climbed and rolled all the way, gathering the tabloid president Park who still maintained his journalistic ideals, eavesdropping on the master Bai Wen, and the group embarked on a dangerous road to explore the truth.
Dangerous Rumors is one of those hybrid crafts that grows out of the blood of the genre. Its form and expression are relatively honest, and there is a force that is not particularly fresh but appropriate. There are two points where it shoots well. One is a meticulous depiction of the channels and the role of rumors, and the sense of curiosity and freshness is obviously a very big charm.
Another point is that the various elements of the film, such as detective elements, political elements, and even secret agent elements, are finally unified into a complete theme.
Female stars and political figures hook up relationship, this is a very curious news, in the film, Eun Joo and political figures of the erotic video has always been Yu Kun's heart disease, but when Yu Kun through various means, finally got the video, the truth surprised everyone.
In tabloids, 98% are unfounded messages and rumors, only responsible for igniting the emotions of public opinion, not for truthfulness and rationality. But a group of people with conscience, journalistic ideals, and a sense of justice gathered together, did the opposite, and used tabloids to crush large public relations companies and remove high-level figures who could not be seen. Putting aside the dramatic design, the most powerful weapon of Yu Kun and his party is actually the truth itself.
But the truth was revealed, and the messages and rumors circulated in the tabloids were simply vulnerable and would soon fade on their own. Politicians are determined, control the media, and use tabloids to use information for their own purposes, but Yu Kun's words, "Once the truth is announced, you can't control people's fingers no matter what."
In the film, Yu Kun is repeatedly twisted off by the gang forces as a punishment. At the end of the film, after the truth spreads through the Internet, public companies can hardly extinguish the fire anyway, because netizens who are angry about the truth spontaneously knock on their mobile phones and computers, and the information spreads rapidly.
The resonance brought by the information instantly triggers the shaking of the earth. This is the power of truth, facts. Netizens are inherently resentful of deception, sympathetic to the weak, and the evidence of solidity will make those who try to control information and public opinion beg for themselves.
South Korean netizens faced the Guhola incident and almost completely fell to the side of female artists. South Korean netizens launched a petition on the Blue House petition website to demand severe punishment of "pornographic revenge" criminals like Choi Jong-fan, and as of the 7th, the number of petitioners had exceeded 200,000. At the same time, the incident also triggered a mass parade of South Korean women.
It is understood that the South Korean police have taken USB, mobile phones and other related evidence to investigate, if the suspicion of pornographic retaliation is established, Choi Jong-bum may face up to 5 years in prison and a fine of 100,000 won.
