This year's Korean movie "The Determination to Break Up" should be a "dark horse" in the world's film industry. It not only became popular in South Korea, but also became popular in Cannes.
Currently, this movie has scored more than 3 points in the Cannes judges, which should have greatly improved the presence.
Just now, Tang Wui won the Best Actress , which is the Korean Blue Dragon Award. This is the first time this award is given to "foreigners".
This year, Tang Wei ushered in a big boom in his career, won the prizes, and won four actresses with this movie.
are the best actress at the 27th Korean Spring History Film Awards, the 2022 Korean Buri Film Awards, and the best actress at the Korean Film Critics Awards, respectively. In addition, she won the Baeksang Award in the past.
If you win a big clock award, Tang Wei may be able to achieve the "Grand Slam" of the Korean movie.
"The Determination to Break Up" is so popular for many reasons. The script and director are both great, and Tang Wei's acting skills are excellent.
But it is undeniable that there is an important reason why this movie is so successful, which is capital support.
I have to mention CJ Entertainment . The producer of "The Determination to Break Up" is Li Meijing, the president of CJ Entertainment. In order to win the Cannes Film Festival, I spent 100 billion US dollars on publicity expenses. The movie is so well-known internationally, relying on "real money".
dares to invest such a large amount of publicity, which shows Lee Mi-kyung's ambition to promote Korean movies internationally.

People may not be familiar with Lee Mi-kyung, but she has a nickname in the entertainment industry, called "Korean Po Godmother".
Korean movies have been very well-known on the international stage in recent years, and they are all "manufactured" by this aunt.
This time, at the Cannes International Film Festival, Tang Wei did not win the Best Actor Award, but she invested in another movie " Broker ". The male lead Song Kanghao won the Best Actor Award. The news of
reached China, and netizens were almost terrified. Is our movie that bad?
Get back to the topic, let’s sort out Lee Mi-kyung. She is the president of CJ Entertainment, a top Korean entertainment company with a market value of 24 billion yuan, and has a great influence in the Korean film industry.
This is not the first time she has invested in a film. She has won an award in the international film industry. She is considered a familiar customer.
2019 Korean movie " Parasite " won the Palme d'HTML award at the at the 72nd Cannes International Film Festival and won 4 awards at the 92nd Oscar.
That year was destined to be the most glorious moment of Korean movies, and we can only watch them dryly. It is not that the quality of domestic films is lost to South Korea, but that we lack an "ambitious" to promote Chinese film to the world's capitalist.

Li Meijing is so awesome because of the Samsung family behind it, the legendary chaebol family that contributes 20% of South Korea's GDP.
Although this branch is "destroyed", it does not affect her status in South Korea at all, and her value is as high as US$24 billion.
Please sort out the family tree of Samsung's family members. You can see that Li Meijing is Li Fuzhen's cousin, and her own father is someone else's uncle Li Mengxi .
Originally, Samsung's "heir" position has nothing to do with Li Fuzhen's lineage. The old man was the first two sons, and he also entrusted them with important responsibilities.
But the two sons are not good enough, and they have caused many problems. Because of corruption, Samsung's company almost failed to go bankrupt. The old man led the family and lived in 18 months in a low voice.
The second son in the middle is like Blue House reporting his old father "embezzled". Who knew that the President at that time, Park Chung-hee ( Park Geun-hye father) was concerned about Samsung's influence and chose to betray the reporter.
When the old man heard this, he was furious. He didn't count the kicking of his second son out of the house. Even his eldest son, who had a good relationship with him, "packed up and left" together.
Objectively speaking, the eldest son is not very capable. When he was in charge of the company, he really was not very good.
After such trouble, the third son Lee Kun-hee successfully took office, and Lee Boo-jin successfully became the "Emperor Princess" of Samsung.

When his father was deposed, Li Meijing was still in college and was fortunate to witness the "good things" her grandfather did with his own eyes. How to "force the second son away, drive away the eldest son away", and then support the "third son to take over" is a big show.
In 1984, Li Mengxi said in an interview that his father killed him, sent someone to his house to kidnap him, and injected him with drugs to try to make him mentally ill, so he could put him under house arrest.
Fortunately, I had a gun in my hand, otherwise I would be done. I don’t know if this is true. If I really do this, I can only say that the old man is not ordinary awesome!
But after all, the old man still leaves a way out for his eldest son's family. In 1987, Lee Byung-chul died and his property was basically inherited by the third brother Lee Kun-hee.
But the eldest family still gave a certain thing, which is the first sugar factory and the part of Samsung Insurance shares .
Of course, this requires mentioning Li Meijing's mother Sun Funan. Although she is a woman, she has a keen mind.
At that time, her husband lived in Beijing. She took care of several children alone and managed the family business very well.
For the company's development, it proposed a "share requirement" to replace it and completely control the first sugar factory.
In the future, the company developed into a CJ Group and became a Fortune 500 in the world. As for the company's entertainment career, it is mainly because of his daughter Li Meijing.

This Li Mei-kyung is also a strange person. In the past, she has been to various university offices around the world and has been to Seoul University , Harvard , Fudan , and Keio University in Japan. I am knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and I am also a Chinese expert.
Because she is a daughter, she herself has not participated in the family internal struggle excessively.
After graduating from university, she has been working abroad and married a Korean man, but she has divorced in the middle.
After that, she returned to help manage her mother's family's industry and joined CJ Group to start operating entertainment projects.
In this process, she gradually connected with the foreign film and television industry, continued to learn, and launched major entertainment programs. Under her leadership, the company has continued to grow and grow, and has launched many programs one after another, but it has also offended some people invisibly.
When Park Geun-hye, she was forced to fire and hide in the United States because of her investigation.
Anyway, my mother's family has been implicated a lot, but the Samsung family has been investigated again and nothing happened.
But now she goes back and chooses to make new efforts to lead Korean movies to the international level.
summary
South Korea's Samsung Group's abolished princess did not make her unable to recover, but found her own direction in life and was willing to fight for it.
Korean entertainment industry, having Lee Mi-kyung is a blessing and deserves China's envy!
