Chapter 357 "Parasite" explodes
May 30.
The highly anticipated "Parasite" has finally been released.
On the first day, it attracted 570,000 moviegoers.
Won the single-day box office championship in the same period.
On weekdays, it can still attract 570,000 moviegoers, which is not a bad achievement.
After all, the total population of South Korea is only 50 million.
On the NAVER film review website, nearly 10,000 netizens gave it a score of 9.23.
It’s so terrifying!
With the release of "Parasite", "The Evil Dead", which had been the daily box office champion, finally gave up its leading position at the box office.
In the past half month, the number of moviegoers of "The Legend of Evil" has also reached 3.28 million.
Although the stamina is slightly lacking, it is not a big problem if it can be released for 6 weeks and exceed the 5 million moviegoers.
After all, it was forbidden to watch the series as a teenager.
This box office result can be said to be quite good.
The box office performance of "New World", which is also the ceiling of word-of-mouth for this series, was only short of more than 300,000 viewers, failing to break through the watershed of 5 million moviegoers.
certainly.
If "New World" is released in 2019.
With the quality of this movie, it is not impossible to have more than 10 million moviegoers.
After all, after years of development, the peninsula's film market is no longer the same.
During this period, Jin Qixuan was very busy.
Either I'm participating in the road show of "Parasite", or I'm on the way to participate in the road show of "The Evil Dead".
If he hadn't been young and strong, he might not have been able to hold on long ago.
However, this situation of running on both sides did not last long.
On June 12th.
The road show promotion activities of "The Evil Dead" in Peninsula have been terminated.
Currently, the number of viewers of the film has reached 4.1 million.
Under the predictable circumstances, investors focused their promotion on Southeast Asian countries.
And this doesn't require Jin Qixuan to follow him.
Although the film crew really wanted to capitalize on Jin Qixuan's popularity, they did not dare to compete with CJ.
Therefore, Ma Dongxi can only run away by himself.
After finishing the road show of "The Bad Guy", Jin Qixuan was able to focus on "Parasite".
At this time, after 12 days of screening.
The number of viewers of "Parasite" has reached 6 million.
It can be called hot.
Not only has it been the daily box office champion for 12 consecutive days, the NAVER film review network also gave it a high score of 9.28.
The role of "Kim Ki-woo" played by Jin Qixuan in the film has been praised by countless fans.
Coupled with the popularity of "The Evil Dead" and "Parasite" being released in various regions around the world.
For a time, his popularity grew exponentially.
It took half a month for the number of followers on my personal Instagram to jump from more than 14 million to the 20 million mark!
Directly ranks third among current Peninsula artists in terms of Instagram followers.
It also strongly disrupted the top three fans of Peninsula artists on Instagram.
You must know that the number of fans of Peninsula actors is far less than that of these popular idols.
It’s already amazing to have over 10 million Instagram followers.
And now, Jin Qixuan jumped directly into third place.
She must be Scorpion Daddy among Korean entertainment actors.
Today.
The number of fans of Jin Qixuan is second only to Jin Zhini and Thai girls.
Speak of.
The highest number of fans among Peninsula artists is actually a Thai girl with 24 million+.
To know.
We Zhien only has 8 million Instagram fans at the moment.
The difference is a full three times.
This Thai girl was the first among the fans to become famous in Europe and the United States.
Later, through the operation of YG.
Other members of Fenmo Group have also become popular in Europe and the United States.
However, the most popular one is still this Thai girl.
During this period, Jin Qixuan once again intuitively felt the changes brought about by his surge in popularity.
Not to mention the friendly attitude of the staff and the love of the fans during the road show.
What’s more, various international endorsements are coming one after another.
After all, his advertising endorsements in Peninsula are already top-notch in various fields.
Because it involves brand endorsements in multiple countries and regions.
Agent Sheng Bingxu is equally busy with his feet on the ground.
For this reason, after discussing with Jin Qixuan.
Decided to expand the team.
After this.
He also transformed from an agent to the head of Jin Qixuan’s personal team.
Specially responsible for docking Jin Qixuan International’s business.
As for the agent, it is the former assistant.
In addition, public relations, legal affairs, and translation have also been expanded.
For a time, Jin Qixuan's team also reached 34 people.
It directly accounts for one-third of all members of Blossom Entertainment.
It can be called a giant in the company.
Jin Qixuan was also very happy about this.
Although, these people have to rely on him to support them.
But with his income, there is really no pressure at all.
Just one advertisement and the salary comes out.
And during this time.
With the surge in Jin Qixuan's popularity, Blossom Entertainment's status within the actor agency has also risen with the tide.
Therefore, Cha Taehyun has been putting a smile on his face recently.
There is no other way, my child is trying to live up to his expectations!
Cha Taehyun has had cross-border business with China in the past.
But with the promulgation of the county order, the only international business was also interrupted.
Now, Jin Qixuan has directly become a global spokesperson for Wu Luxury in Europe and America just by himself.
He is also the youngest double actor currently serving.
Basically, most actor agencies have one or two actors including movie kings, movie queens, movie kings, and movie queens.
And idol actors.
Even with the bonus of Korean dramas and outstanding looks, most actor agencies will have one or two TV drama actors who are very popular in Asia.
However, an actor like Jin Qixuan is top-notch in terms of popularity, business, image, and acting skills.
It’s really just Blossom Entertainment that owns it!
How can this not make Cha Taehyun happy?
Therefore, he also called Jin Qixuan from time to time to express condolences, for fear that the child would be wronged outside.
You know, Jin Qixuan is now the performance ceiling of Blossom Entertainment.
A money tree among money trees.
It is also the golden signature of Blossom Entertainment.
It has the same effect as the "publicity ambassador" of Central University.
This also led to Cha Taehyun usually not being willing to speak loudly to Jin Qixuan.
In fact, he knew about the suppression of Jin Qixuan within Zhongwulu.
But in Cha Taehyun's view, these exclusions are really not a big deal.
Because, apart from the Peninsula film and television industry, these people are just a pool of stagnant water, unable to make any waves.
When you leave the country, you don’t even recognize passers-by.
But Jin Qixuan is different.
In the future, they can rely on their strong box office appeal to force them to give up the so-called "grievance".
Not all Chungmuro actors are rich.
They also need exposure.
Just like Yoo Ah In said.
After Jin Qixuan proved his strong ability to handle the box office.
Someone will definitely start to change the direction of the trend.
The change in the direction of the wind means the collapse of "exclusion".
Just like the concept of NBA championship puzzle.
Want face or achievement?
After all, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
After retirement, Jin Qixuan can also rely on his strong business endorsements to make a living.
You can even enter Japanese entertainment and American entertainment.
No matter how bad you are, you can still join the TV industry.
Therefore, Cha Taehyun really didn't panic at all.
……
June 25th.
After twenty-five days of release. The number of viewers of "Parasite" has exceeded 10 million!
It became the 20th multi-million dollar movie in the history of Peninsula Cinema!
It is also Bong Joon-ho's achievement of reaching 10 million movie viewers again after "The Monster on the Han River".
The film’s score on the Naver film review website is also stable at 9 points.
True · Good harvest at box office and word of mouth.
On the other hand, the box office of "The Evil Dead" also successfully exceeded 5 million moviegoers.
And Jin Qixuan’s personal cumulative box office is about to approach the 50 million movie-viewing mark!
After top actors such as Song Kang-ho, Ryu Seung-yong, Seol Kyung-gu, Ha Jung-woo, Lee Jung-jae, and Hwang Jung-min.
To know.
These people are all leading actors in the Peninsula film and television industry.
And Jin Qixuan is about to catch up with them with only five movies.
This achievement is also outstanding among the new generation of actors.
It can be said that it is the best!
When Yoo Ah In saw it, he called him a good guy!
Regarding this, Jin Qixuan also put all the credit on the seniors of the "Screen Actors Guild" in the interview.
Claims that without their help, he would not be where he is today.
It can be said that it is a humble gesture.
As soon as this comment came out, he once again attracted a wave of favor from passers-by.
After all, it is considered an "open secret" that Jin Qixuan was excluded in the Chungmuro actor circle.
But under this premise, he can still remain humble, which is rare.
Of course, people inside and outside the circle look at things from different perspectives.
Jin Qixuan's "show of goodwill" did not induce the old diehards on Zhongwu Road to put down their "grievances."
In their opinion, Jin Qixuan was just showing off.
Chiguoguo shows off!
......
As the promotion of "Parasite" on the Peninsula comes to an end.
Bong Joon-ho took Song Kang-ho to North America to promote the movie.
Due to cultural and regional reasons.
It is considered an excellent achievement for a movie from Peninsula to gross a million dollars at the box office in North America.
And now.
With "Parasite" being released in North America.
This Peninsula film, which won the Palme d'Or at Cannes, also aroused a movie-watching craze in North America.
The box office on the first day alone reached 3 million!
Attracting a large number of North American audiences to watch in cinemas.
There are a lot of Chinese faces among them.
no way.
Jin Qixuan’s current number of fans in North America is definitely at the top level among Asian actors.
As the box office of movies soars, movie ratings are slowly rising on IMDB.
From 8.2 points at the beginning, it rose all the way to 8.5 points!
IMDB’s scoring mechanism is almost the same as the domestic Douban scoring mechanism.
It is very rare for an Asian movie to reach a high score of 8.5 on IMDB.
The last time such a grand occasion occurred was "Oldboy" directed by Park Chan-wook and starring Choi Min-sik fifteen years ago.
Moreover, "Parasite" not only has high ratings on IMDB.
It also received a professional score of 96 on Metacritic!
It can be called a word-of-mouth explosion.
Seeing how successful "Parasite" has been in the North American film market.
CJ also held a grand celebration banquet for this purpose.
They did not hold a celebration party on the day they won the Palme d'Or.
The main reason is that I am afraid that the movie will be well-received but not popular, and I will be slapped in the face.
After all, Li Cangdong's "Burning" scored a record-high 3.8 screening points at Cannes last year.
As a result, the box office should pounce or pounce.
And now.
The box office of "Parasite" also proves that not only the audiences in the peninsula recognize this movie, but its international results are also quite dazzling.
It has to be said that in today's "Spring and Autumn and Warring States" period, the peninsula film market structure is.
CJ is still the top film company firmly ranked in the TOP1.
There was "Parasite," which was the second highest-grossing film in Peninsula history, and then "Parasite," which won the Palme d'Or at Cannes and exceeded 10 million viewers.
These two movies, one after another, directly pushed CJ's reputation to the top.
Therefore.
Peninsula audiences are full of expectations for CJ’s next movie, "Extreme Escape" starring Cho Jung-seok and Lim Yoon-ah.
And Jin Qixuan has also upgraded from a "rating koi" to a "box office elixir."
Although he has not released many movies, only five.
But the worst number was also 5 million moviegoers.
Not to mention two films with tens of millions of viewers.
This has also led to various directors in the industry now wanting to collaborate with Jin Qixuan.
There are many directors like Park Chan-wook and Na Hong-jin among them.
After all, the popularity and acting skills are all online, and the box office is guaranteed.
Who doesn’t love such an actor?
But Jin Qixuan’s current schedule is really hard to make an appointment with.
The promotion of "Parasite" is over here.
He is about to join the cast of "Light and Shadow", his third starring film, written and directed by Li Cangdong.
In this regard, although they were declined by Jin Qixuan, these directors all expressed their understanding.
After all, Jin Qixuan is still young and has plenty of opportunities in the future.
Actors are not as short-lived as actresses.
The older you get, the more popular you become, and the more types of roles you can play.
Of course, this is all on the premise that the image remains the same.
Such a thing would naturally not happen to Jin Qixuan.
After all, no matter which industry the top people are in, they invest a lot of money in their bodies every year.
Not to mention the actors.
Both the company and himself are willing to spend a lot of money.
Not to mention having fitness fanatic Kim Jong Kook as his uncle.
June 26th.
The "Parasite" celebration banquet was held as scheduled.
CJ also set the standards for this celebration banquet very high.
Not only the leading actors but also the main creators are all invited.
Even Li Meijing, the vice president of CJ Entertainment, was present in person.
However, because Bong Joon-ho and Song Kang-ho are running the North American promotion of "Parasite".
Therefore, I missed the celebration banquet that day.
At the celebration banquet.
Jin Qixuan also met Li Meijing, the so-called "Godmother of Asian Entertainment" for the first time.
Although she is over sixty years old, Li Meijing, who is well-maintained, looks like she is in her early forties.
It is impossible to tell that this is already a grandma’s generation.
Due to her arrival, many people felt a little uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Li Meijing also smiled and waved his hands, saying:
"Don't be so nervous, everyone. I'm just here to enjoy the celebration banquet today. You can do your thing, don't synchronize with me."
< br>Despite what Li Meijing said.
But no one takes it seriously.
After all, her status is there.
Although he has now withdrawn from the decision-making level, the majesty accumulated over the years is still there.
But what no one expected was.
This "Godmother of Asian Entertainment" really means what she says.
After greeting everyone present, he went to eat on his own.
There is no airs at all.
During the dinner, Li Meijing also came to the actors' table.
Clinked glasses with Jin Qixuan, Li Shanjun, Zhao Ruzhen, Park Sudan and others.
While clinking glasses with Jin Qixuan, Li Meijing also smiled and said:
"Qixuan xi, we CJ have many outstanding actors. If there are schedules, we can cooperate more."
< br>Hearing this, Jin Qixuan was also slightly startled, and then he understood that Li Meijing was feeding him resources.
After all, no matter where you are or what industry you are in.
The attitude of the top management determines the ecology and resource tilt below.
Although Jin Qixuan is not short of resources, he is not interested in this person's "show of goodwill".
He was very willing to accept it.
After all, no one can struggle with resources.
Not to mention a favor of Li Meijing’s level.
"Of course, I am also very happy to cooperate with CJ's seniors. If there is a chance, I would like to ask Vice President Nim to help me make more connections."
Seeing this, Li Meijing also smiled and nodded.
She admires this kind of talented but not arrogant young people very much.
And Jin Qixuan's attitude also made her very satisfied.
