Satisfying desire and reflecting trends

I haven't laughed at Korean movies in recent years. This is because the so-called Korean comedy film has disappeared from the theater district. However, in November last year, the perfect person, who opened after breaking through the weakness of'off-season', exceeded 5 million viewers, and the extreme job that was released while watching the Lunar New Year holiday in January became the first 10 million film this year. Ten million comedy films came out six years after the gift of Room 7 (2013), but, unfortunately, both films were released on January 23 by Ryu Seung-ryong as the main character. It is surprising when compared to last year, Korean movies, which cost more than 10 billion won, from the Chuseok holidays to the theater district at the end of the year, did not produce satisfactory results.

The best peak of Korean comedy films since the 2000s was in 2001, when Kim Sang-jin's Silla Moon and Kwak Jae-yong's bizarre released in the month of the summer, and Cho Jin-gyu's gangster wife soon swept through Chuseok. . Since then, the'Youth Comedy' and'The Gangster Comedy' films dominated Chungmuro ​​for a while. She has spread to her bizarre personalities, such as 토렌트, Kwon Sang-woo's younger brother (2003), who shares the origins of her PC communication novel, Moon Geun-young's young bride (2004), and Kim Jae-won's My Love Saga (2004). Let's play with the glory of Dharma and led to the series of Dusabi.

After all, what is important is the reflection of the trend that draws the sympathy of the audience and fulfillment of desire. If she was a bizarre PC communication novel that was popular at the time, like a lot of webtoon works being filmed, the gangster comedy also gave a sense of punishment to the upper group through gangsters. Although not a comedy film, the gangster of the insiders (2015) Ahn Sang-gu (Lee Byung-hun) was our agent who punished politicians (Lee management) and journalists (Bae Yoon-sik). The laughter doubles when Go-Ban (Ryu Seung-ryong), who became the president of the jackpot chicken restaurant unexpectedly even in extreme jobs, talks about “the small business's grievance.” Along with the gods who could actually classify them as comedy movies during last year's release, Seong Joo-shin (Ma Dong-suk) said, “I would rather have bought bitcoin,” in citation and poetry, commenting on cryptocurrency, funds, stocks, etc. The laughter in the theater was the greatest.

If such a specific genre shows success and decline at regular intervals, the Korean film now reveals the will to breathe actively with the public apart from the discussion on the work. It may not be possible to call it “the trend” with some success, but the important thing is that Ryu Seung-ryong recovered from the terrible failure of the telekinesis (2018) while Ma-Seok Ma-seok of “Mayomi” faltered. The fact that Park Jung-hoon, Song Kang-ho, Cha Seung-won, Yoo Hae-jin, and Ma Dong-suk added one more actor to believe and see about laughter is worth watching carefully for the revival of the Korean comedy film. Compared to other genres, comedy is a film that relies entirely on actors. I really need an actor who is “funny at the face”. So Korean audiences will find laughter for a while in the theater.

Most frustrating original cartoon film

What was the most frustrating original cartoon film?

In the movie, it's Bicheonmu. The movie just flowed into a love story, without the original message that the original told the reader, but it didn't even express itself. The production staff was only concerned with special effects, but the actor's acting was just over. Kim Hee-sun reads a book. Even when they are young and when they come out as children's mothers, they are not different. Whether the audience wants to empathize or not. Licking the surface of a watermelon cannot be this much. Drama is full house. This drama was about to put the popularity of the original work on the back. Nana was so popular that the original actors were so popular and the leading actors were very popular in Japan, but it was just boring to copy the original.

 

If there is a cartoon that seems to have a high chance of success when it is made into a drama or movie.

This is a manga I've been really recommending for a long time, and Akumi Yoshida's Lovers Kiss and Banana Fish. Lovers Kiss is a very suitable amount for a special play of about two copies. It is a total of two books, but the style of showing the same incident with different eyes. All elements such as summer, college student, first love, homosexuality, and separation are depicted cool. Banana Fish is similar to the massive spy of the same writer, but it is quite long and the emotions are complicated, so I think it would be okay to make a drama properly. If you look at the production cost of Korean dramas recently, you will be able to make enough. In particular, the ending is a great piece.

Starting in high school, he started buying comics in earnest. Right now, the room is small, so we have disposed of a lot of comic books that we have saved and have only about 200 books. However, even now, water droplets from 20th century boys and gods are collected every time a book is published. Slam Dunk was selected as the textbook for cartoon production, and the best cartoons were the sword of fire, Bichonmu, and a 20th century boy.

 

, Slam dunk, death note, etc.

If you pick the best cartoon drama (or movie).

beat. I think casting is almost the only thing that was better than the original. It seems to express the fun of cartoons in a cinematic way. I want to pick Tongki, the king of Figo as the animation. I remember broadcasting on TV during the holidays, and the special effects of the fireworks were amazing. It was literally ‘I cannot take my eyes off’. Next is Nodame Cantabile. Sir Mirchi, Senior Chiaki, and Nodame. There is no more perfect casting!

 

If you pick the most disappointing work.

Hulk. Director Ian, cinematization, Eric Barna's acting, and expectations were hugely disappointed. Dragon Head was also disappointed. It was only after seeing why the domestic release was forced. It will be fun to put Satoshi Tsumabuki on charcoal soot and make it stand for 2 hours.

 

What do you need most to turn a cartoon into a drama (or movie)?

The original cartoon drama or movie is wealthy. No matter how vain (even childish) you will be forgiven. The fan is already ready. If you want to make a cartoon-based drama or movie, casting is probably the key. Then, in the expression that replaces the cartoon, you will need to understand what the original work is, and adjust the water level accordingly (special effects, story structures). However, the most tragic is difficult to explain because it is all about the sense of the person who makes this entirely. Movies are made by tens of thousands of choices.

 

If there is a work you would like to make into a drama or movie.

1/2 There is a short collection of works by the artist Ranma, and her short stories are so strong and emotional that I feel like everything could be filmed. Yoshinaga Oku's masterpiece by Fumi. Even though it is an American-style omnibus documentary (?) cartoon that she can eat and live without her love, it would be fun to film. All of her cartoons may be filmed. another one. It's cool that 무료 웹툰 gave up trying to make it, and Masaru's film is also worth looking forward to. The bad guys of Inajung's table tennis writer appeared in a pirated version of up to 4 volumes in the country, but it would be great if Director Lee Sang-il or Soderberg made it. The story of Taro is made in Japan as a drama starring Arashi, but in Korea it would be fun to see Gang Dong-won.

Since I started buying and watching manga, I haven't seen it as before. I buy about 4 or 5 books in Hongdae once or twice a month. Nowadays

 

To collect all the collections, I am purchasing two copies of it. I recently bought an Iranian manga called Persepolis. It seems to have been about four years since I started buying it. It is impossible to choose the best manga. When I was in high school, Evangelion was the most addictive.
