After all, there are too many unfavorable factors for this movie, such as the subject of an embalmer, Korean starring, and small and medium-sized costs Although no one has high expectations for profits, the cost should be recovered anyway, right? "The Embalmer" has participated in many competitions, including the Yokohama Film Festival in Japan, the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards in China, and the foreign language film competition for the Hong Kong Film Awards. Among so many film selections, the most important one is Look no further than the Montreal International Film Festival. The Montreal International Film Festival was founded in 1977. It is a competitive international film festival held in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, in late August every year. The purpose of the Montreal World Film Festival is to encourage cultural diversity and mutual understanding between people of all countries, and to stimulate films from all continents. To enhance production to cultivate high-quality films, promote filmmakers and new creative works, discover and encourage new talents, and promote exchanges among film professionals from around the world. The Montreal International Film Festival is one of the five major film festivals in the world. It is also the only competitive film festival in North America recognized by the International Federation of Film Producers and an international Class A film festival. Although it is not as good as Cannes, Venice and Berlin, the three most authoritative European film festivals, its professionalism and attention cannot be underestimated, and it is also at the forefront of many world film festivals. And when Lin Youmin knew the news, in fact, Takita Yojiro had already taken the movie to Canada, and Kim Tae Hee, who was the heroine, was also traveling with him. When we were preparing for this movie, her role was actually just a friend of the hero¡¯s wife. Later, in order to increase her role in the scene. I changed it directly to my wife. For this reason, Koyama Kundo even revised the script significantly. Lin You was so busy that Kim Tae Hee naturally couldn't be absent anymore. Originally, Takita Yojiro just planned to try his luck and see if he could get some attention through the film festival. Unexpectedly, maybe Kim Tae Hee really brought good luck. . "The Embalmer" actually won the highest award at the film festival: the American Grand Prix! Also known as the Jury Prize, it is jointly voted by several famous directors who serve as judges on the jury. Its influence and authority can be imagined. This shocked Lin Youmin. He never expected that such a surprise would suddenly come to people. Not only those related to them, but also the Japanese and Korean media were shocked. Needless to say, Japan, after all, this is a Japanese movie. As for South Korea, the two leading actors are Koreans. This seems to be a problem for the Korean entertainment industry, which has received less recognition in the international film industry. Something worth writing home about. Not to mention the reactions from both sides, Lin Youmin actually had no time to care. Anyway, "The Embalmer" hasn't been released yet, so let Takita Yojiro and Kim Tae-hee take care of other things. His current main task is "Prank Kiss". Faced with strong competition from two highly acclaimed TV series, "Wind Painter" and "Beethoven Virus", although Lin Youmin didn't say anything, you can imagine the pressure in his heart. He didn't like himself. His works were severely suppressed. Although it is an idol drama, and the band is working with a lot of newcomers, Lin Youmin will not give up easily. Fortunately, the benefits of the news that "The Embalmer" won the award are obvious. With this news, "Mischief Kiss" Im Woo-min's attention has improved slightly in the ratings of the new episode, beating "Wind Painter" and only slightly behind Kim Myung-min's "Beethoven Virus". On the other hand, "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys" was also successfully completed. The final number of viewers stayed at 8.53 million. This is already an extremely good result. Even if the profit is not much, South Korea alone Being among the top ten in film history is enough to be proud of. Fortunately, he made money even though he didn't make much money, at least he didn't lose money. The cost that Lin Youmin originally gave to Li Byung-hun to participate in the investment out of loyalty was recovered somewhat. Even after the income from some overseas copyrights arrived, he could still make a little profit. surplus. More importantly, the benefits of Lin Youmin starring in "Good Guys, Bad Guys, and Weird Guys" are not limited to monetary income. His biggest gain is the popularity in the entertainment industry, because he has caught up with Lee Byung-hun and Song Kang-ho With this big investment, Lin Youmin's influence has expanded a lot, and he has quickly established a foothold in the film industry. Compared with his previous movies, it seems like a small hit. Lin Youmin¡¯s surprise is far from over. Although "The Embalmer" is a purely Japanese film because the two leading actors are Koreans, both the film crew and the media always treat this film in a deliberately low-key manner. But whether a movie is good or bad is notBecause it can be judged by such external factors, a good movie will never be buried, let alone a movie that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even though many Japanese film critics and film review media did not exaggerate or praise this film too much, privately the film's reputation has already exploded. Some film review writers cannot comment openly, but this does not mean It does not prevent them from viewing this movie as a person or a movie fan. As an anonymous professional film critic on the Japanese popular film review website commented: "The plot and structure of "The Embalmer" may be simple, the themes conveyed may be superficial, the soundtrack may be simple, and even the leading actors are Korean. ; but the lens design of the film is unique, the editing and conception are exquisite, Hisaishi Joe's score is delicate and profound, and the philosophy of life explored in the film is deep and optimistic. It can be said that I like this. This movie is not only about Hisaishi Joe's soundtrack, but also explores the meaning of life, the value of life, and the philosophy of life and death. In short, I like this movie, even if it is full of handsome Koreans. "It is also worth mentioning the music of the film. Although Dawu in the film is a failed cellist, the music of the film is an absolute masterpiece. The thick cello sound instantly touches the softest part of your heart. , that is the sadness that belongs to men, taking you back to boundless memories. When you see the enlightenment of playing the piano on the embankment of the river, when you see the enlightenment of experiencing death so close, you may know what it is. A thorough understanding of life. "Compared with the low profile of many professional media, "The Embalmer" is almost always well received on film review websites. As of now, the film review rating of "The Embalmer" has been collected from tens of thousands of viewers. It has reached an astonishing 90.5%, and the film's star rating is as high as 4.5 stars. This level is definitely no less than any popular and highly praised Japanese movie, or even better. This is directly reflected in the box office, which is the stability of "The Embalmer" - although it has never won the first place in the weekly box office, or even entered the top three, it has always remained in the fifth to tenth position, no better than other movies. While the weekly box office dropped significantly, the box office of "The Embalmer" remained surprisingly stable. The comments and comments from viewers on the Internet also made many media shine. Most of these comments did not mention how good Lin Yumin's acting skills were, but they almost invariably mentioned one element - Hisaishi Joe's film score. . yes! It's inappropriate to praise Hayashi Yumi, and it's inappropriate to praise the entire movie as being particularly good. But considering Joe Hisaishi's status in the world, it can't be overstated. There's no such thing as a taboo at all, not to mention the soundtrack itself this time. , already at the palace level, completely worthy of praise. Since then, the Japanese entertainment media seemed to have found a bug in a certain game, their eyes were shining, and they focused all their evaluation firepower on Hisaishi Joe's soundtrack. In any case, this is also a disguised praise of "The Encoffiner". As for South Korea, it seems that they have also noticed the seemingly ordinary but extraordinary movie "The Embalmer" at this time, because of the starring roles of Lim Woo-min and Kim Tae-hee, as well as the great achievements it has made, and the films that have not yet been made. With its potential fully revealed, Korean media people unanimously reprinted articles on several major Japanese movie websites and began to praise this movie. (To be continued)
