This year's summer theatrical films have not performed well, especially in the last weekend before the start of school, when few blockbusters have been released.
In this case, "Runaway Player" from Hollywood won the single-day box office champion for 6 consecutive days, and the total box office has exceeded 225 million, and Zhang Zifeng's "Goodbye, Teenager" in the domestic film released on the same day as the film is not good at the box office, and only won 18.66 million box office in 6 days of release, which is basically a street hit.
However, on the same day as these two star movies, there was also a youth inspirational film without any publicity, "Mistakenly Entering Youth", which attracted my attention, although the director is not famous, but this movie actually invited the original team of "Journey to the West" to be the main actor.
Despite so many stars participating, "Mistakenly Entering Youth" was too bad at the box office.
It can be seen that on August 27, the total box office of the film reached 688 yuan, and the number of moviegoers was 24, which is still the national data, if you really want to count, these 24 people even sit in a small movie hall.
Obviously, there are the feelings of the original team of "Journey to the West", why don't the audience buy it?
The main reason is that the original team in this movie is only nominal, because Sun Wukong's actor, Six Little Boys, did not appear, but chose Li Shihong, who had dubbed Sun Wukong, as the male number one, which was barely the return of Goku.
The most unexpected thing is to force together the "Journey to the West" crew, because the first version of the "Sand Monk" actor Yan Huaili has died, in order to let the original team gather, the final producer invited Liu Dagang of the "Journey to the West Sequel" to star, but in fact, he and Ma Dehua have not cooperated at all.
However, for the sake of money, it is not the first time that they have reunited to participate in activities or filming in the name of the original team of "Journey to the West".
At this point, Sun Wukong voice actor Li Shihong, Tang Monk played by Xu Shaohua, Eight Precepts actor Ma Dehua, Sha Monk played by Liu Dagang, and White Dragon Horse actor Wang Bozhao all arrived.
But such a luxurious lineup, the story filmed is still rubbing the "Journey to the West" heat is unexpected.
The plot summary of "Mistaken youth" alone makes people laugh off their teeth, "Journey to the West Five" in the movie claims to be a retired old drama bone accidentally met Ma Tianmei who wants to participate in art competitions, so several people worked together to make the little girl realize her "Wukong Dream".
To be honest, such a plot can only be said that the screenwriter's brain hole is too big. First of all, not all old actors can be called old drama bones, and then it is obvious that it is a little girl participating in an art competition, why do you want to imitate "Wukong", it is estimated that it is simply to express that the film and "Journey to the West" have an indissoluble relationship!
Seeing the introduction of the movie, I was very emotional that this gang of people had "finished" the wool of "Journey to the West".
Such a movie story is completely unattractive, not enough for the theater to give the film, and the final movie hit the street is expected.
The most humiliating thing is that the film side can get a share of the 230 yuan box office, which is probably not enough money for them to buy drinks when filming, and this time the "rubbing the heat of the west" ended in failure.
I don't know what the reason is, in the past, the most like to hang "Journey to the West" on the lips of the six-year-old children did not appear in this small-cost movie, it may be that the film party really can't afford to pay the film, and the sixth teacher did not come.
In the "Journey to the West" crowd, the appeal of the six-year-old child is undoubtedly the strongest, and the remaining division brothers after this movie lacked him had no box office explosion, which is also one of the reasons why "Mistakenly Entering Youth" suffered such a failure.
This can be clearly seen from the data, in the summer last year, the six-year-old children pulled Ma Dehua, Liu Dagang, Wang Yue composed of the original team of the journey to the west, the original team of people and horses feelings of the film "Money Fans" three days after the release of the box office, (later renamed "My Rich Daddy") landing on the network theater line also has tens of millions of plays, and the final sub-account box office is definitely much higher than the current "Mistaken into Youth" is much higher.
The same is to show off the "journey to the west feelings", "Mistakenly into Youth" can not even learn the "copy" homework, which is the most speechless.
"Journey to the West" is indeed very classic, it is a good drama that has accompanied countless Chinese people to grow up, but this group of actors who have achieved this drama has repeatedly mentioned this drama for decades, borrowing the popularity of this drama again and again to participate in commercial performances or get together to shoot new films to play the "feelings" card!
Classic film and television dramas carry the collective memory of the audience, and they themselves have their own topics and traffic, but if they have been repeating a routine, without sincerity and ingenuity, it is impossible to conquer the audience.
The saddest thing is that whether it is a six-year-old child or other actors in the crew, they have been addicted to the role of "Journey to the West" and have become a role, and finally become the laughing stock of the audience.
The audience originally wanted to see the old actors, but in the end they saw a belly fire, and again and again "the wolf is coming" was staged, how should the audience believe in the group of six young children, how to believe in the film and television industry.
In addition, those who invite old actors to play the sentiment card of capital also need to check, knowing that the probability of failure, why do you have to go forward to make these movies that no one watches, will there be any cattiness in this?
As for the six-year-old child, is his Sino-US co-production "Journey to the West" still filmed? If you don't shoot, then stop, only help you get here.
