This study explores the factors contributing to the commercial success of remade films across countries by analyzing the original Hong Kong film Infernal Affairs and its remakes in the United States (The Departed), South Korea (New World), and Japan (Double Face). This paper analyzes the factors of success and failure based on Konstantin Verevis's remake film theory, focusing on aspects such as the selection of film texts, visual language, narrative structure, and cultural intertextuality. The analysis reveals that successful remade films enhance their visual appeal and strengthen emotional connections with audiences through structural completeness of the original text, creative narrative reconstruction, and differentiated cinematography. Conversely, the failure of some remakes is attributed to excessive replication of the original or the lack of consideration for cultural intertextuality, failing to resonate with audiences. This study emphasizes the need for an approach that maintains the identity of the original while incorporating new cultural sensibilities to achieve success in remakes. It aims to provide practical guidance that promotes multicultural exchange and cooperation in the global film market. The importance of strategic considerations in remaking films that reflect various cultural contexts is highlighted.

The objective of this study was to compare the shear bonding strength of zirconia after cleaning the crown contaminated by saliva or blood and determine the effect of thermocycling. 180 specimens were embedded in acrylic resin. 20 Specimens in the positive control group were bonded with resin cement without contamination. 20 Specimens in the negative control group were washed with water for 20 seconds and then dried for 10 seconds. 120 Specimens contaminated by saliva or blood were cleaned by using three cleaning methods: 37% phosphoric acid gel, commercial cleanse, and 2.5% NaOCl. All samples were bonded with resin cement and divided into two subgroups: One was not aged, and the other was tested with 30,000 thermocycling. In both groups contamination by saliva and blood, no statistically significant difference was not found in control, groups cleansed by commercial cleanser and 2.5% NaOCl. When the groups cleansed with water and 37% phosphate gel were compared with the control, significantly low shear bond strength was shown. Thermocycling group showed statistically significantly low shear bond stress compared to the groups without thermocycling. When zirconia was contaminated by saliva or blood, its original shear bond strength could be obtained if it was cleaned with commercial cleanser or 2.5% NaOCl.
