Walking out of the cinema, film critic Li Taiyong felt dazed and had not yet completely recovered from the emotions he had just experienced.

Next to me, some audience members who were watching the same movie were discussing the plot of the film with excited expressions.

"Oh, really, this plot is so heartbreaking..."

"My contact lenses are crying!"

"The last scene of the family dinner, where De Xiu was talking to his father's portrait, was really tear-jerking."

"What? It's such a tear-jerking movie. I'm totally unprepared!"

"The actor who played the male lead Dexiu was so good. I was completely attracted to him!"

"He seems to be the best actor in China! If he were in Korea, he would definitely be at the level of a Chungmuro ​​actor!"

"My grandfather always talked about how hard life was for the previous generation, but I couldn't relate. It turns out that's how they got through it..."

Hearing the discussions of others, Li Taiyong finally reacted and quickened his pace towards home.

There is no need to discuss whether the quality of this film is good or bad, the audience's reaction is the best proof.

It is foreseeable that the box office will be a huge hit.

What he needs to do now is to hurry up and write the film review. Now is the time to race against time. Every minute counts, and the heat will increase.

That afternoon, a long film review about "International Market" appeared on the Internet.

[The Promise of Half a Lifetime: How does a man support the soul of a family in an era? ]

"International Market, written by Ye Zhiqiu and directed by Park Zhengxian, outlines a man's life with extremely delicate strokes and details, and also reflects the history of the entire era..."

"From a young miner to an octogenarian, Hwang Jung-min has contributed one of the greatest cross-age performances in film history. The hunched back posture of carrying coal bags in his youth evolved into permanent spinal curvature in his old age; the clumsy tap dance steps when he first met Yingzi at the dance party turned into mechanical dragging when he supported his old partner on the rooftop sixty years later..."

“Without a doubt, we must pay tribute to the screenwriter Ye Zhiqiu. The emotional resonance of the story and the cultural recognition of family in the East Asian cultural circle, coupled with the excellent production and the excellent performance of the actors, make this film a great work.”

After this film review was released, it immediately became a hot topic on the Korean Internet and resonated with many netizens.

After its premiere, the film "International Market" became a hit as expected.

On the first day of its release, the film attracted over 20 viewers in South Korea, directly winning the box office championship that day.

In the following days, as word of mouth spread, the box office soared like a rocket.

Within three days of its release, the number of moviegoers per day exceeded 50; in the first week of its release, the total box office attendance directly exceeded 360 million!

This data directly broke the record of 10 million in October last year.

Coincidentally, the record holder last year was also a work written by Ye Zhiqiu - "Secret and Great".

Even before the film was released, the industry could see SG Entertainment’s emphasis on and confidence in the film through the overwhelming publicity.

After all, their previous work "My Sassy Girl" also achieved very good results, and now is the time to strike while the iron is hot.

At the same time, some people are not optimistic about the work "International Market".

There is no other reason. This is a "co-production" and the male lead with the most important role is an actor from China, so the audience's acceptance is questionable.

However, when the first week box office results came out, everyone was shocked, regardless of whether they had been optimistic about the film or not.

This result is no longer a question of whether it is good or not...

This is going to break the box office record in Korean film history!

Currently, the total box office of "Secretly Great" ranks among the top five in Korean film history, but the momentum of "International Market" is obviously even stronger...
