South Korean drama " Squid Game " has spread all over the world, and the story is about 456 contestants competing for 45.6 billion yuan in prize money. The bonus figure that is very easy to read and easy to remember immediately caused heated discussion among the audience, "Why should the prize money be set at 45.6 billion (about NT$1.07 billion)". In this regard, director and screenwriter Huang Donghe was interviewed on the 328th and personally explained the meaning of numbers, which is actually related to lottery!

Huang Donghe was recently interviewed by Korean media and talked about the significance of the prize money in the play. He revealed that when he was writing the script, "When he wrote it 10 years ago, he originally wanted to say that one person had 10 million yuan, and the total was about 10 billion yuan." But as time went by and currency inflation, he thought that 10 billion yuan seemed too little, so he checked the highest winning amount of the Korean lottery at that time. The number of people with the highest winning amount in the initial prize was more than 40 billion yuan. "I want to say that it would be a little more than 40 billion yuan. If you order one person with 100 million yuan, the number 456 in the middle is easier to remember, so it was 45.6 billion yuan."

As for why the last protagonist "Qi Xun" dyed red hair? Huang Donghe also said, "The craziest thing in my opinion is dyeing red hair, and red hair also represents Qixun's anger, which is my very intuitive idea." "Squid Game" has been high since its launch, and Huang Donghe also said his inner thoughts: "I feel very good at once, and I feel a little nervous at once."
"Squid Game" is discussed enthusiastically, but it also revealed that the phone number is real controversy. (Photo/Provided by Netflix)
Apologizes for the real controversy of the phone number: "At first I thought of a number that does not exist, but I didn't expect that when the phone was broadcast, 010 (the first 3 numbers of South Korean mobile phone numbers are used, similar to Taiwan 09), there was an accident that the production team had never thought about. I am sorry for not verifying the truth, and I apologize to the victim again." He revealed that the producer is already formulating a compensation plan and will definitely be responsible for it.
The second season of public concern, Huang Donghe's words were retained: "I'm sorry about the second season. I can't give an answer for the time being. I may have to think about it again. It seems that it's a bit too early to tell everyone." There was no direct answer or not to shoot. But he also honestly said: "It's a pity for the drama to be popular but not have additional income." He also explained with a smile: "But I signed the contract only after I know it! Thank you very much for your warm support."
