Someone is Not Happy with the Number of Viewers for 'KKN IN THE DANCER VILLAGE' Surpassing 'THE DEVIL'S SLAVE', Here's Calvin Jeremy's Comment

Kapanlagi.com - The enthusiasm of the Indonesian people towards the presence of the film KKN DI DESA PENARI is extraordinary. Two records were broken, namely becoming the best-selling Indonesian horror film of all time and the best-selling Indonesian film of all time.

However, this success apparently sparked pros and cons on social media. Some are quite disappointed that the audience for KKN DI DESA PENARI has displaced PENGABDI SETAN version Joko Anwar as the best-selling Indonesian horror film of all time.

1. Asking the Audience to Move On

Seeing this fact, Calvin Jeremy as one of the actors in the film KKN DI DESA PENARI asked the audience to move on from the previous record. Because the breaking of this record is actually a joyous thing for the film industry.

"PENGABDI SETAN was released in 2017, people have to know that time has passed. This is a momentum, the solution is to move on. But if there are those who don't accept it, it's okay too. In fact, it indicates that the Indonesian film industry is fertile ground because there are many pros and cons," said Calvin when contacted by KapanLagi.com.

2. Not Taken Personally

During the release of the film KKN DI DESA PENARI, of course, there are those who like the film or vice versa. Responding to this, Calvin admitted that he didn't take it too personally if there were criticisms.

"If I feel that everything that comes out in public will belong to the public. There are words that hurt when we bring it personally, but when it becomes public property, they have the right to say anything and not become a personal domain. I see it as just the dynamics of life," said the singer of the song Wanita Tak Biasa (Unordinary Woman).

3. Celebration for Indonesian Film Audience

Now KKN IN DESA PENARI has become the highest-grossing film in Indonesia of all time. For this achievement, Calvin Jeremy expressed his gratitude and thanks to the audience who took the time to watch it legally in theaters.

"I want to congratulate everyone who worked hard on KKN IN DESA PENARI. It's not easy to make a project go viral, waiting for two years. I also thank the Indonesian film audience because in the end, the celebration is not just for us who are involved in the film, but for the entire Indonesian society. This marks that local films are the rulers in their own country," Calvin said.
