The number of cumulative audiences has not reached 70,000 for 14 days. Although it attracted early attention with marketing using 'exposure of shock', 'color system' and 'Yonyanghwa', it missed my reins due to the limitations of workability and Acting ability. The movie Serve the People! (director Jang Cheol-soo), which was not going to provide Service to the OTT platform for more audiences in the theater, turned to IPTV in two weeks after its release.
'Serve the People!' Started IPTV and theater simultaneous VOD Service from 8th.
This work, which was released on the 23rd of last month, depicts the process of the model soldier, Yeon Woo-jin, who dreams of becoming a leader, falling into the temptation of an affair due to his meeting with his young wife, Jian. It is based on China famous novel, but it sets the background as a virtual Socialism country and completes a completely different quality from the original.
It was a lot of work just before the release. Not only the high-level beds that actors exposed to body hair, but also Jian's one-dimensional Acting ability and difficult-to-determine performance, the criticism was poured immediately after the media and distribution preview. Many of them said that they were left with such a '19 gold love movie' without taking advantage of the original message.
“The impact and stimulation are actually a factor in this movie,” said director Jang Chul-soo, who caught the megaphone, in an interview with a number of media outlets. Even when the color system first appeared, the story was ‘intimidating and unsavory’. But when I watched the movie, it did not feel like such a work at all. I think there is no problem if something stimulating is part of the movie by necessity. "But it was not enough to persuade the audience immediately after the release. The audience is saddened by the 'Yeon Woo-jin' on the portal site evaluation section. Why did you shoot such a movie?, I will meet such a manga in 2022, I do not know what I wanted to express, and I almost died.
"The training should be the power to lead the movie," Chang said. It needed a wide and warm embrace like the sea, and it also needed the spirit of the northern people who received the Goguryeo weather. As a director, Jian seems to have done well, "but the audience responded that" Acting is the worst, really "and" This is the first spring for the actress who is not immersed in Acting. "
Is this the reason? Serve the People! barely attracted 1,246 daily audiences and 69,885 cumulative audiences on the 8th, the second week of its release. Although it is a Corona 19 city, it can not be said that The Batman, the number one box office, has succeeded in box office success compared to the cumulative audience of 540,000 and the second largest Uncharted (released on February 16). It was an expected work by director Jang Cheol-soo, who directed Secretly Great and the whole story of Kim Bok-nam's murder, but it resulted in some bored results.
If we move to IPTV, will it be a little different? As we promoted it as a 'disclosure' before opening, demand is expected to be quite high. Since there were a lot of netizens who said, The theater is a waste and I will see it if it is released on IPTV after the release, the interest in this work is expected to increase for a while.
However, it is unclear whether the popularity of the work that has not been discovered will be poured out. If you are curious about the workability, you can see it on IPTV (KT olleh TV, SK Btv, LG U + TV), Home Choice, Google Play, TVING, wave, Naver series on, Kakao page, KT skylife.
