The tiger CGI, pointed out as a blot on the film that surpassed 10 million admissions, will ultimately be revised.
On the 11th, the SBS program News Hunters featured The King's Warden director Jang Hang-jun.
That day Jang Hang-jun mentioned the tiger CGI as a disappointing element in the film. He said, "The disappointing part is undoubtedly the tiger. In the case of the tiger, the original release was not for Seol. It was April to May," he said.
He continued, "It was a blind screening where they gathered general audience members without telling them what the film was, and it was shown in theaters without the CG being finished," and noted, "When people rated the film, the score came out much higher than expected. The investor and distributor said it had to go into Seol."
Jang Hang-jun said, "Because the release was moved up so much, there was very little time to do the CG work," and "I was disappointed and the CG team was disappointed, but we had no choice but to release it. On the other hand, I hadn't thought about that. If the human acting had been poor, it would have been fatal. Fortunately, I think the CG did not ruin the acting."
He added, "We are still working on the CG. Because it will remain on OTT, because it will remain in history, the CG company wanted to try until the end, so they want to work on every single hair. You can't see it in theaters, but you will be able to see it on OTT."
The King's Warden is a work that depicts the year 1457 at Cheongnyeongpo and tells the story of a village head who volunteered for exile to revive the village and the young dethroned former king who was exiled. After recently joining the 10-million admissions club, it has continued its box office momentum, recording a cumulative audience of 11,884,042 through the 10th, and has sparked a phenomenon.
But there is controversy over the quality of the tiger CGI. The scene, shared through audience reviews, even earned the dishonorable nickname "namtti" (a newly coined term meaning ugly) tiger.
