channel translated as "Lotto Battle". As of now, the number of viewers in South Korea has reached 1.97 million, and the global box office has exceeded 20 million US dollars, which is a complete recovery of the cost (5 billion won).
Korean NAVER online, the audience score of the video is 8.07, the expert score is 6.00, and the IMDb score is 7.3, with a good reputation.

Korean film critics described "6/45" as "the funny version of " Common Guard Zone ".
believes that this film is "a nostalgic product of the disappearing Korean comedy movies, and it also interprets the new era."
The talent of the actor is regarded as one of the keys to the success of the film.
This film is co-starred by Gao Gengpao (biāo) and Li Yi Geng .
Gao Geng-pyo is well-known for his role as "Sun Yu" in " Please Answer 1988". His strong plasticity has enabled him to participate in popular works such as "D.P: Death Warrants" and "Hidden Determination to Break Up " in the past two years.
In comparison, Li Yigeng's comedy image is more prominent.
In the 2018 sitcom "Hello, Waikiki ", he played Lee Junki, who contributed the most intensive and nonsensical jokes in Korean comedy in recent years.
"6/45" has a very clear story setting. At the border between North Korea and South Korea, the commander of the South Korean outpost Park Tianyu (played by Gao Geng Piao), accidentally picked up a lottery ticket. The lottery ticket of
is called 645. Among the numbers from 1 to 45, you can win the first prize by guessing 6 numbers correctly. The first prize of
is 5.7 billion won. After tax deduction, it will be exchanged for US dollars. According to what is said in the film, it will be a net collection of US$4 million.

The two soldiers who should have been incompatible with each other had to negotiate many times about the ownership of the lottery prize, and then people from both sides continued to join in and divide the money...
So far, the film uses the popular north and south themes of Korean movies to build a full of tension comedy space.
How can Korean soldiers go to South Korean Bank to South Korean Bank to receive bonuses according to the negotiated ratio, and then allocate them according to the negotiation ratio. There is a lot of story to write in the middle.
"6/45" did not "crazy off-line" like American comedies such as "Hangover" and "Ditor", but as mentioned earlier, it completed the nostalgia of early Korean comedies in a symmetrical neat format.
In the story, South Korea and North Korea each have three protagonists, and both sides have superior leaders intervene.
Therefore, a total of 6 people joined this lottery battle (maybe intentionally correspond to 6 winning numbers). A character structure like
is not only a tribute to the symmetrical and dangerous border power relationship between North and South Korea in "Common Guard Area", but also with its unique stability, the plot of the film is controlled within an ideal comedy situation.
For example, in order to ensure the smooth implementation of the agreement, the two sides decided to exchange a soldier as hostage.
This is a cliché but powerful design.
The number of people remains unchanged, and the change of nationality and identity will inevitably have an impact on the outposts of both sides. The attention of this impact will have a strong impact on the plans of both sides, thus giving the film more dangerous comedy flavor.

Like "Living with the Sex" in 2007, the funny points in "6/45" also have two characteristics.
is one of "a serious and funny thing", and the other is "designing funny points in the basic understanding of the region". These two points of
make the film separate from simple nonsensical comedy, thus biasing towards the field of black humor (of course, "Living With the Sex" is more calm and darker humor).
"Living with a Sex"
For example, after the lottery was blown to North Korea, Park Tianyu did not dare to climb over the barbed wire directly, so he could only dig a dog hole under the net at night and climb to North Korea through the dog hole to find the lottery.
The key is that he made sufficient theoretical preparations -
attempts to estimate the exact position of the lottery landing based on the temperature, wind direction, wind speed, lottery weight, free fall formula, and the specific value of the lottery flight distance.
And its basis is the famous " Riemann Hypothesis ".
Riemann hypothesis is one of the seven major mathematical problems in the world of , so when he reveals the draft paper in the night, the steep gap between the serious attitude and the conclusion of the play can naturally form a strong laugh point.
In addition, the contract signed by the two teams of North Korea and South Korea is planned to be decided by the United Nations International Court of Justice if a dispute arises;
Park Tianyu, who runs a cattle farm at home, uses the aphrodisiac atmosphere to make the chickens and ducks in the North Korean outpost lay hundreds of eggs overnight...
These all have a bit serious and funny taste. Other funny points of the video
require the audience to have a basic understanding of the current situation in North Korea and South Korea.
For example, both parties meet in the "joint water supply area" in private and analyze the lottery prize amount and tax rate.
The Korean side, the top soldier Kim Manzhe, threw out a large piece of paper, and listed all the data one by one on the paper.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 The comparison between
paper and projector is clearly a satirizing that North Korea was originally backward in technology, but insisted on making a good appearance in such small things.
"6/45" is a Korean movie. Naturally, it may convey the stereotype of North Korea in these aspects , but if you put aside this so-called "private goods", you can still experience the unique humor in the context of the north and south. There are many funny points in
films based on this.
For example, after Li Yonghao was replaced to a Korean outpost, he ate in the canteen and turned into a big eater;
used saliva instead of shoe polish to polish shoes for Korean veterans, and it was brighter than using shoe polish (because in North Korea, I usually don’t want to use shoe polish)...
these are a bit sad and a little bit "deliberate" of Korean filmmakers, but in terms of the contrast of comedy, the plot is very effective.
At the same time, the video also observes the characteristics of the big data era.
Kim Man-chol, who was entrusted with the important task of redemption of the bonus, arrived in Seoul, and was holding his underwear because the lottery was hidden in his underwear.
's behavior was photographed and uploaded. In less than a day, his name as a "perverted soldier" spread across the Internet.
became famous quickly and did not pay attention to the truth. This is a comedy and horrifying era syndrome in the current era, which is vividly displayed by "6/45".

To this day, the north and south themes have become one of the most important Korean film types.
"Common Guard Zone" released in 2000 has opened the curtain of the north and south themes of the 21st century.
Then, commercial films such as " Highland Wars ", "Secret and Great", " Assassination " unfold the north-south narrative from different dimensions.
In recent years, the themes of the north and south have been in a booming trend. Many masterpieces such as " Helping ", " Iron Rain ", " Agent ", " Mogadishu ", " Hunting ", etc. have jointly built an indispensable territory for Korean genre films.
"Total Help 2: International" was launched recently on streaming media
North and South themes, and almost all of them will converge to the same focus, that is, transcending countries and regions, and restoring people to people themselves. The same is true for
《6/45》.
director expressed too many "sarcasm" towards North Korea in the film, such as North Korean soldiers who have never seen water dispensers, do not understand animal husbandry technology, do not understand weather forecasts, and are overtrained.
But in the end, the film still puts the emotions of the soldiers on both sides in the same position.
Not only do they all fight for bonuses for their families, but they also establish a short-term friendship in the process of jointly redeeming the prize.
At the same time, a regretful love arose between South Korea's Park Tianyu and North Korean broadcaster Lee Yeon-hee.
can be seen in the video, they are first and then Koreans and North Koreans.
In this process, "6/45" presents the impact of Korean pop culture on both sides' ideology . In the
film, the sweet heroine Lee Yeon-hee is called "North Korea IU". At the meeting point, the two sides also danced the hot dance of the Korean girl group Brave Girls "Rollin'".
This is actually one of the common techniques used in the north and south themes. The most classic one is "Agent" directed by Yin Zhongbin .
"Agent" ends, South Korean queen Lee Hyori and North Korean dance superstar Zhao Myei cooperate with advertisements. The meeting between the two means the peace talks behind North Korea at that time.
, a plot replica of history, is enough to prove the driving role of popular culture in the north and south stories, and Lee Hyori's own performance makes "Agent" an example of Korean movies at this point.
"6/45" did not reach the height of "Agent", but it was also considered to be within the comedy framework and completed a relatively complete north-south narrative.
Of course, the video still has some flaws.
For example, after the lottery flew to North Korea, it seemed to have consciousness and kept following Li Yonghao and stopped until it was picked up by the puzzled Li Yonghao. The plot design of
is too purposeful. Although it can be ridiculed because the film is a comedy, it still seems stiff and coincidental.
Another example is that the video does not explain the specific way of winnings, which makes people wonder about the origin of the $4 million.
Let’s explain it here:
lottery may have been used by usury companies to launder money, that is, soldiers get cash, while usury companies use lottery to legalize illegal income.
As for the ending of the film, the director may want to counter-routines, so in the end, he only lets everyone get a small amount of money.
But for viewers who have always been worried that the bonus will be wasted, is it the real anti-routine to let everyone get full bonuses?
After all, life is already very hard, and comedy should have the perfect ending.
