Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 223: Good reviews...
The last shot of the movie was an open meadow where Quan Xuanhe appeared in front of the camera with his profile, holding a mobile phone, and finally pressed the shutter.

The moment the shutter button was pressed, the big screen went black, followed by the gradually playing of the ending song and the scrolling list of the cast and crew.

Shin Hye-sun as Jeong-in
Bae Jong-ok as Hanako
Kwon Hyun-hyuk as Jeong-soo

The lights in the theater came on, and applause gradually began, then became more frequent and louder, and finally stopped after lasting for dozens of seconds.

The leading actors once again stood in front of the screen and faced the media and guests who came to participate in the preview.

"How is it? What do you think of our movie?"

The director picked up the microphone and asked everyone present.

Then came a series of questions and answers from professional media. Among them, Quan Xuanhe, a newcomer with a very outstanding performance, received a lot of media attention, and questions came one after another.

The final preview officially ended here.

After the preview ended, Quan Xuanhe chatted for a while with some industry professionals present, learned from each other, asked how it went, and had some friendly exchanges.

"Great! The movie will definitely be a success."

Quan Xuanhe turned around and saw Zhou Ziyu and others waiting for him. Hearing Lin Nayeon's confident encouragement, he smiled and began to explain.

"Losing money is certain, but as long as the loss is small, it will be considered a success."

This statement aroused everyone's doubts, and they asked one after another: "Why do you say that?"

“Because of the epidemic.”

Quan Xuanhe waved his hand and spoke bluntly without any hesitation.

This reason indeed made everyone suddenly remember the current epidemic situation and the bad news coming out of the film and television industry that they see in the news every day.

It seems that it is indeed as he said.

"But the impact isn't significant. If the reviews are good, it would be great if the losses were reduced. Given the current situation, there's nothing we can do."

"Then why did you choose to take this movie?"

Minatozaki Sana, on the other hand, was very thoughtful and asked with a curious look on her face.

Kwon Hyun Hyuk took on this movie at the beginning of this year, and the epidemic had already broken out, so why did he insist on taking on the movie?

"Sometimes we can't just look at the box office; there are more important factors that can't be ignored."

"If it weren't for today, would you have seen such a wonderful performance from me?"

Quan Xuanhe didn't care and said with a smile.

A few people were chatting here, and they didn't know when Kim Ji-soo and Zhao Meiyan walked up to them.

Everyone knows each other, there are no strangers.

“It was a great performance.”

Kim Ji-soo smiled and praised sincerely.

First, she had the courage to act, and second, she acted surprisingly well. Who can't admire and marvel at this? Moreover, the two of them will be partners in the future. It is even more wonderful to have Quan Xuanhe, a good actor, to guide her.

She was still curious about what method Quan Xuanhe was talking about.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk looked around and nodded as Kim Ji-soo praised him.

Being surrounded by a group of beautiful girls with different looks and styles, each one more gorgeous than the other, all of them beautiful girls, is really a blessing.

The key point is that everyone gathered together today has more or less different relationships with him. Gathering together so densely makes Quan Xuanhe naturally feel a sense of crisis.

But Zhou Ziyu doesn't like to talk in public. She just stands quietly beside him, watching him chatting and laughing with others. Only when Quan Xuanhe talks to her will she respond with a few words full of heart.

This is Zhou Ziyu's habit after going through something, there's nothing she can do about it.

After a quick chat, Quan Xuanhe found an excuse to drive away the group of brightly blooming flowers in front of him.

The preview has officially ended, and Quan Xuanhe is looking forward to feedback from the outside world, and even more looking forward to the scene after the release.

Although he had already known the situation after the release through his sixth sense, Quan Xuanhe still hoped in his heart that his little butterfly could create some different scenery.

After the preview, the media's external reviews also came out one after another.

[Starnews: A wonderful drama, the flaws outweigh the merits! This is a film by]

In addition, professional film critic Min Sun-dong, who was present on the same day, gave a highly praised evaluation of Kwon Hyun-hyuk's performance.

"Kwon Hyun Hyuk's acting has improved at a rapid pace. The transformation from Ou Yitian to Qingbai is truly astonishing. As a newcomer, he has displayed mature and effortless acting. He possesses both a naturally beautiful face and the acting skills of diligent study. The most outstanding aspect is the emotional expression in Kwon Hyun Hyuk's eyes, which is absolutely outstanding and exceeds the standards of a melo actor."

Kwon Hyun-hyuk's performance was outstanding enough to conquer numerous media outlets and become a highlight in the otherwise mediocre movie "Innocence," a highlight that is difficult to fault.

Min Sun-dong originally thought that Kwon Hyun-hyuk would at most give a passing performance. After all, he had also watched the TV series Romantic Doctor Kim 2, in which Kwon Hyun-hyuk's performance was remarkable, but still within the normal range.

Unexpectedly, the release of the movie "Innocence" surprised him so much. He didn't expect that his performance would be so brilliant, especially the emotional changes in his eyes, which really made people marvel.

[Dispatch: "Innocence" features many veteran actors like Bae Jong-ok and Heo Jun-ho, but Kwon Hyun-hyuk stands out from the crowd. The film's most acclaimed performance after its release was for Kwon Hyun-hyuk's impressive acting, despite being a newcomer.]

cine21: The film's most striking features are two newcomers: Shin Hye-sun, who is taking on a leading role for the first time on screen, and Kwon Hyun-hyuk, who is making his feature film debut. Both newcomers display remarkable maturity, overcoming numerous obstacles. While taking the risk of their first big-screen lead roles, they also managed to maintain their presence among the seasoned cast.

Chosun Ilbo: "Innocence" is average compared to similar Korean crime films, with decent execution but lacking in sparkle. The film focuses more on ethical and family explorations, and the surface events reveal a complex mystery within a mystery.

[JoongAng Ilbo: As the epidemic rages, another batch of films are released despite the risks of the epidemic. This is the largest film release since the outbreak of the epidemic. We are looking forward to it.]

The distributor has a mature process for film promotion and release, and the same is true for pre-release promotion. A number of professional media and film critics and experts have been invited to comment on the film.

At the same time, due to the epidemic, the sharp comments of the media and experts have softened a little, so as to prevent the film industry, which has been in trouble since the epidemic, from suffering further losses due to their comments.

After the preview screening and the release of film reviews from media experts, Innocence was officially released on July 1, 2020.

On the day of the release, the CGV Cinema in Cheongdam-dong welcomed the first wave of audiences.

With her long black hair loose and wearing hot pants that revealed a pair of fair and slender legs, Liu Zhimin, who was wearing a loose and exquisite upper body dress, looked up at the theater. Jin Dongtian beside her put his arm around her, and they both walked into the theater.
