In the past few years, if Hong Kong films wanted to sell to overseas markets, they had to have a good box office in Hong Kong, but in the past two years it was very easy. One is that Hong Kong films were popular in East Asia, and the other is that the film markets in countries and regions such as South Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines, and Malaysia are becoming increasingly open, unlike the previous ones that only have a few films per year.

Nowadays, as long as there are movies starring Hong Kong first-tier stars, you don’t need to watch them as movies. You can sell them in Taiwan and Southeast Asia by just publishing a trailer.

As Hong Kong's number one high-box office director, Kang Jianfei's films are the target of film merchants and hospital merchants in various places.

When Kang Jianfei had just announced the filming of "My Savage Girlfriend", film merchants from all over the world came to Oriental Entertainment Distribution Company to seek cooperation, and the best share was given directly.

Oriental Entertainment is responsible for the distribution tasks of all the subsidiaries of Oriental Group. The best thing to do is to release Kang Jianfei's film. This time, "My Savage Girlfriend" was released in the Christmas seasons of Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea, Japan, the Philippines and Thailand at the same time. This is not a treatment that anyone can get.

Since December 13, Kang Jianfei and the creator of "My Savage Girlfriend" have become busy. Wang Shuxian is very popular in Japan and South Korea. She is responsible for the publicity and premiere of these two countries. Kang Jianfei takes the male lead to a walk around Nanyang.

South Korea, Seoul.

Due to the industrial and agricultural foundation laid by the dictator Park Chung-hee in the 1970s, South Korea began economic takeoff in the 1980s and became the last of the four Asian dragons.

The impact of the Gwangju incident has long passed. Although the Koreans are far less rich than Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singaporeans, their increasingly plump wallets still make the country's film market prosperous.

Even the global stock market crash did not seem to have eliminated the enthusiasm of Koreans. When Christmas is approaching, merchants in the capital Seoul began to perform various promotions happily.

On Christmas Eve, Seoul residents did not stay at home to watch TV like they did a few years ago. They were not interested in Christmas before, but they began to celebrate Western festivals because of their economic affluence.

Watching movies is naturally an important entertainment activity. There are 6 movies released in Seoul this Christmas, two of which are Hollywood films, one is Hong Kong film, and the other three are Korean local films.

That Hong Kong film is Kang Jianfei's "My Savage Girlfriend". As for Cheng Long's movie, it is basically selected to be released in South Korea. Because Mid-Autumn Festival is a very important festival in South Korea, it will take several days of vacation nationwide, which is a period comparable to the Spring Festival.

The tickets for the morning were easier to buy. Not long after noon, the theaters for Hollywood and Hong Kong films began to fill up, while the screening halls for the three Korean local films were deserted.

Korean and North Korean movies also appeared many classic movies decades ago, but later they were tragic because of politics.

Not to mention the political environment in North Korea, South Korea is actually not much better. During Park Chung-hee's rule, although South Korea's economy developed rapidly, it was severely confined in both music and film art fields.

In the 1960s, due to the interference of the state regime, South Korea's film companies decreased from 71 to 16. The entertainment control order in the 1970s continued, and the production of local Korean films decreased from 209 in 1970s to 96 in 1979. Many movies were banned by the government, and some directors were even thrown into prison.

It was not until three years ago that the South Korean government changed the film censorship system to a review system, and the South Korean film and television industry began to recover slowly. Korean films really began to develop, and they had to wait until the film censorship system was completely abolished next year. The so-called "Art Spring" of Korean films began to emerge from 1988.

Film movements in other regions were initiated by directors. But the "Art Spring" of Korean movies is a bit funny, and it actually comes a bit inexplicably.

After the Olympic Games were held in South Korea in the late 1980s, South Korea's domestic thinking was further opened up. The last dictator of South Korea wanted to divert the people's attention and actually proposed the "3S" (sports, screen, sex) policy, intending to let men vent too much hormones on the "seqin" movie.

As a result, during this period, the truly thoughtful films in South Korea were imprisoned, but the official censorship of erotic films was extremely bold and relaxed.

In addition, many foreign films released in Korea are directly purchased for screening rights, and the movies in Hollywood are too expensive to afford. So they all go to Eastern Europe to buy them.

The so-called "Art Spring" of Korean films is composed of Eastern European art films and erotic films, which cultivates the unique viewing taste of Koreans. Korean films after 2000 are the continuation of the original.

As for Korean local films before 1988, what can I say? Korean directors who have been imprisoned by their thoughts for 20 or 30 years, the films they made are not as interesting as films from mainland China.

How can such a local movie attract Korean audiences?

The Western culture and aesthetics of Hollywood have a layer of distant barriers, and then Hong Kong movies have become the favorite of Korean movie fans.

With the successful invasion of Hong Kong films in South Korea, Hong Kong stars are also well-known to Koreans. Then Cantonese songs take advantage of the opportunity to sell well in South Korea. Now many young Koreans choose Cantonese songs to sing in karaoke.

"Wow, there were so many people in the afternoon. Fortunately, you got two tickets from sister," Choi Jin-young followed her sister Choi Jin and squeezed into the screening room through the gaps in the crowd.

Cui Zhen said: "Of course, this is a new film directed by Kang Jianfei. I heard that it was released at the same time as Hong Kong. These two tickets were obtained by me very hard."

Cui Zhen is usually very frugal and basically eats kimchi every meal. She only eats vegetables and meat occasionally when she is on the crew. The reason why she is willing to watch expensive movies today is because Christmas Eve is her 20th birthday, and she wants to celebrate in this special way.

In another time and space, Choi Jin, who had become a big star 20 years later, committed suicide, and then her star brother Choi Jin-young also committed suicide.

At this time, Choi Zhen was just a little employee behind the MBC, and her younger brother Choi Zhenying had just graduated from high school and came to Seoul to explore for a few months.

After finally rushing into the screening hall, the siblings were not in a very good position. They had to keep raising their heads to watch the movie when they were on the side of the first row.

The familiar DreamWorks opening appeared on the big screen, followed by the burning clouds in the sky. A man stood under a tree and looked at the sky. The audio-visual sounded in the screening hall: "Two years ago today, she and I buried a time box here and made an appointment to meet here in two years. However, she did not appear..."

In the first two or three minutes of the movie, Wu Zhenyu was performing alone. Choi Zhen didn't know this Hong Kong male actor. However, Choi Zhen herself worked on a TV station. She thought Wu Zhenyu's acting skills were very good, at least better than many Korean actors.

"It's Wang Cuixian! It's Wang Cuixian!"

The scene at the subway station platform began. As soon as Wang Shuxian appeared, she was immediately recognized by Korean movie fans before she could even miss her face. Many people shouted her name excitedly.

Then there were bursts of laughter. Choi Jinying laughed when she saw Wang Tuanxian vomiting on the old man (played by Li Jiading)'s bald head. Wu Zhenyu covered her crotch with a scoop naked, and then the scene when the female policeman who was about to testified asked him to raise his hand even laughed out loud.

"It's so funny!"

"It's so unlucky for the cow to be honest."

"What an idiot who is cute."

"Wang Tuxian's performance was not gentle at all this time, but it was even more charming."

“…”

The plot of the movie develops to the heroine's birthday. The hero prepares a perfect birthday celebration program at Liyuan Amusement Park, but ends up messing up when he just entered the amusement Park.

A prisoner who had just escaped from the prison was sitting behind the wall of the amusement park and smoking with a gun. Wu Zhenyu, who had climbed over the wall, stepped on the prisoner's head, then stepped on the other party's shoulder, and used it as a foot-pad ladder. Then the heroine played by Wang Shuxian came again.

"Hahaha……"

There was constant laughter in the cinema. The hero and heroine being kidnapped by the fugitive did not make everyone worried or nervous, but instead made everyone laugh even happier.

Gradually, the fans couldn't laugh. The first half of the movie made people laugh so hard that they burst into tears, while the second half made people feel moved and laughed.

When Qianniu’s ten love principles came out, this classic line instantly captured the hearts of countless female audiences, and the male audience was quite touched.

The movie finally had a happy ending. When the theme song at the end of the film sounded, Korean audiences were surprised to find that the theme song was actually sung in Korean.

In fact, there are four versions of the theme song "I_believe" this time, namely Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese and Korean versions, which were sung by Zhang Guorong and two Japanese and Korean singers, in order to please audiences from different regions.

It is rare that there is a Hong Kong film with a Korean theme song, which greatly satisfys the vanity of the newly rich Koreans. In an instant, their senses for the movie "My Savage Girlfriend" have also increased by several levels.

"It's a great film, it's worthy of being a Hong Kong movie."

"Of course, Hong Kong is known as Oriental Hollywood."

"Hong Kong is so developed, and the subway station is so luxurious, and South Korea is not as good as it is."

"I didn't expect that Wang Tuxian would change into ancient costumes and act in modern dramas so beautifully."

"The male actor who played Qianniu is so considerate, but he just doesn't know what his name is."

"Kang Jianfei is worthy of being an international director."

"Actually, girls are pretty cute even if they are a little savage."

“…”

After watching the movie, the audience who had walked out of the theater was still excitedly discussing the video they had just watched.
