Recently, the Chinese film market has been quite lively, after all, the Hollywood blockbuster "Dune" has been released. Before and after the launch of this movie, the audience was not optimistic about its box office in China, and the fact is that its box office after the release of the movie was really not good, which pushed "Chosin Lake" to take the first place at the box office.
As of the time of this post, the box office of "Chosin Lake" has exceeded 5.2 billion, and it is only about 200 million yuan away from the 5.403 billion of "Hello Li Huanying", and the probability of "Chosin Lake" eventually surpassing "Hello Li Huanying" at the box office is almost a foregone conclusion at present, and the probability of finally surpassing "Wolf Warrior 2" is much smaller.
And whether "Wolf Warrior 2" or "Chosin Lake" Wu Jingjing is the absolute star, plus "The Wandering Earth" is the top overlord of the current Chinese film actors, this achievement is even inferior to Shen Teng, who is temporarily ranked second (Shen Teng has too many cameos and platter movies like "My Hometown and Me").
Speaking of China's 10 billion box office actor rankings, the current ranking refers to the above figure.
The actresses are currently closer to Jia Ling and Zhang Xiaofei, because no matter whether netizens think that "Hello Li Huanying" is qualified enough, but the 5.4 billion box office is indeed real, this is Ma Li, who starred in several comedies, Zhou Dongyu, who can star in the movie, Zhang Zifeng also has a chance.
Other actresses, including veteran actor Sandan Yibing, are not good now, and the box office results alone may not be as good as the later rise of Yuan Quan, Tan Zhuo and Chen Shu, after all, Yuan Quan Allah acting in box office blockbusters such as "Captain China" and "Chinese Doctor", Tan Zhuo has "Manslaughter", "I Am Not a Medicine God", "Fire Hero" and so on.
So why is it that not a single actress is in the top ten of China's 10 billion box office actors?
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="47" > is there not a single actress in the top ten of the 10 billion box office? This is true of movies all over the world</h1>
According to my personal shallow observation of the world's film and television industry, especially the film industry, other commercial blockbusters such as market sales, women's theme movies are indeed far less advantageous than male themes, and the number is much rarer.
This is not only the Chinese film market, but even Hollywood blockbusters.
For example, the Marvel Superhero Cinematic Universe, we will first remove the well-known IP with its own popularity attributes, and the fame of well-known actors and the reputation of superheroes combined with this point of view, separately talk about the absolute starring super movies, you will also find that there are very few female superhero-based movies.
In fact, there is only one "Captain Marvel", plus "Wonder Woman" on the DC side, and "Black Widow" that was finally filmed this year. Others like the Wasp Woman, Crimson Witch, Kamora, etc., but they are only the heroines and not the absolute dominance in the movie.
The films that are absolutely dominant are "Anna", "Agent Schoutert", "Extremely Cold City" and other female secret agent films. Then there are all kinds of horror films, youth films and romance films, and finally the real top blockbusters are only Julie of "Tomb Raider", and then Jorah of "Resident Evil".
This goes back to the same as marvel superhero movies, even if it is an actor, this IP comes with a huge popularity, halo effect. The value of superhero IP is in the IP itself, which does not reflect the value of male and female actors (there is a part of the actor, but not an absolute factor).
Like China's 10 billion box office actor list, "Changjin Lake" and "Wolf Warrior 2" Wu Jing weigh much heavier, while "The Wandering Earth" has a part of the effect of Liu Cixin's science fiction (before the chinese science fiction film, there is a part of the effect is not the decisive effect).
Shen Teng and Jia Ling's comedies are the same, they are the chinese film market is currently scarce actors.
Shen Teng is a comedy brother, and whether Jia Ling is a comedy sister or not depends on the follow-up works. In contrast, Zhang Xiaofei is a bit like picking up "cheap", just like Ma Li's comedy starring Shen Teng (you can watch other movies starring Ma Li alone, and Zhang Xiaofei's follow-up works to watch).
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="69" > commercial blockbusters starring actresses around the world are inferior to male actors? Why is that? </h1>
This answer is also simple, that is, the division of labor caused by historical development and social development, the social division of labor in the current formation of the audience's cultural consumption of a tendency, human society until the development of today, male theme blockbusters or more than female theme blockbusters have an advantage.
If you think about it, who are the audiences who enter the movie?
It is a small family that travels in a group, a small couple who has established a family, a small couple who is in love, and these are the rich people in the cinema. The most obvious feature of these three types of rich people is that they are usually male dominant, and you want men to pay for movies, at least in line with the common tastes of both men and women, right?
Female audiences like big movies, as well as women can absolutely star in the movie are love films, literary films and love films, you said that if you shoot well, such as "Dear", Zhang Zifeng's "My Sister" and Zhou Dongyu's "Young You" and the like, men can also accompany women to watch.
However, most of the top female artists in China can not watch the movies, and the reputation and quality are too collapsed. Yang Mi's "Small Times" series, Liu Yifei's "Mulan" and so on, the most regrettable previous Bai Baihe, her acting skills are really good, positioning is a chick movie, the box office summary can also carry a 5 billion, but it is a pity that people have collapsed.
The most crucial question is the tendency to cultural consumption formed by the historical development of mankind and the social division of labor. In addition to the movies that female audiences like, in addition to the partial love, idol romance movies (but also mainly young female audiences, such as delaying the demand for small fresh meat), the blockbusters they like are also middle-aged men-based movies.
These people usually have excellent acting skills, rich in the male charm that is common all over the world, and combined with the historical inertia of human cultural needs, you will eventually find that the world's top commercial blockbusters are basically these types.
Action blockbusters, war blockbusters, cop blockbusters, sci-fi films, adventure films, costume films and cartoons, etc.
In addition to the animation, there is no standard for live-action participation (like Hayao Miyazaki, Disney Princess animation is also a female absolute protagonist). Other kinds of themes in human history are really male participation, which is really not deliberately provoking anything.
unbelief?
If you think about it, the political game in the costume blockbuster, the dispute between the state and the individual. When it comes to ancient times, it is definitely male-dominated, and war blockbusters are whether they are ancient wars, World War II or modern wars. Those who lay in the trenches hiding from the rain of bullets and shells were mainly male soldiers.
In the secret agent blockbuster and the police blockbuster, the historical agents may not be as charming as 007, but it is true that most men do work in various countries; police films are usually male policemen, detectives and vicious gangsters. Either engage in wit fights or shoot each other in the streets.
Adventure blockbusters and science fiction blockbusters have until now been dominated by the West (Japan is running very far), adventure movies are the so-called adventures of the West after the Industrial Revolution when a group of men colonize the world and discover the new world. Science fiction blockbusters are the romance of science fiction, and the protagonists of popular culture works are usually male-dominated.
This is not to say that there are no great female scientists, but whether it is Asimov, Heinlein and Clark of the Western science fiction triumvirate, including Philip Dick, who pioneered the "cyberpunk" with Blade Runner, etc., are also predominantly male. Just as the four kings of Chinese science fiction are Liu Cixin, Han Song, Wang Jinkang, and He Xi are all men. Female science fiction writers are not absent, but they are back to the question of proportions.
This historical inertia of the development of human popular culture is combined with modern science and technology.
When we put this set of things in the movie, it tastes very strong? What does it taste like? That is, in modern times, all the films (including TV dramas) that promote the scientific and technological revolution in the film and television industry are precisely action movies, war movies, police films, science fiction films and other male-dominated film and television themes.
Female audiences like to star in romance films, youth romances, how many special effects are used, right?
Moreover, I personally believe that audiences who have experienced the era of the Industrial Revolution and the digital special effects revolution in film and television are concerned about the imaginary picture of the "spectacle of the screen" created by film and television dramas. It is not only male and female audiences, it should be that human audiences prefer to watch commercial special effects blockbusters, which are said above and are dominated by men.
So the question is, how can blockbusters starring women rise?
At least from the current division of labor in human society and historical inertia, actresses can only "correct" in male-dominated themes. The words behind this should be something that men can do, and we women can do it. For example, men can shoot action movies, and women are also very good at making action movies.
In this regard, European and American films have done a lot better, costume films and war films are difficult to operate because of historical problems, but there are many examples of agent films and action movies that fight with individuals, horror films that use weak women to better show, thrillers that are mainly heroines.
The opposite operation is the kind of taboo topic that women require, there are fewer domestic movies in recent years, and the big heroine costume drama does not need to be talked about much, and Hollywood's "Birds of Prey Squad" and other films are also examples. It's not that I personally have a bias, this kind of blockbuster film that is too stupid for male audiences does not like to watch, and female audiences do not like to watch.
There is a long gap between the development of Chinese pop culture and the West, and this project is even less on the works of female protagonists.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="95" > who will be the first Chinese 10 billion actress? Sandan Yibing was even inferior to Tan Zhuo, Ma Li and Yuan Quan</h1>
Finally, we predict who will be China's first 10 billion box office actress. If it is not the absolute starring of the top blockbuster (the so-called big heroine), but the heroine of the commercial blockbuster, Tan Zhuo, Ma Li and Yuan Quan have the most chances, which is even stronger than the old Middle Generation Sandan Yibing.
Tan Zhuo holds "I am not a medicine god", "Fire Hero", "Manslaughter" and other films, and it is easy to star in one or two blockbuster heroines, Ma Li and Yuan Quan are the same reason, Ma Li will have "Lone Moon" starring shen Teng in the future, and it is also fast. Yuan Quan also has "Fengshen Trilogy", although that movie is a group drama, if it explodes, it is also counted as a blow.
The actress who can really play the absolute starring role is currently looking at Zhou Dongyu, and Zhang Zifeng seems to have more opportunities. But the gap between the two is still very far, Zhou Dongyu still has to come to several "Young You", Zhang Zifeng's "My Sister" is the same reason, but the reality of the movie is too difficult.
It is temporarily difficult for the two to star in the heroines of top blockbusters, because in the current Chinese film market, they and Sandan Yibing, the positioning of Hua Dan after 85 is somewhat embarrassing.
Because at present, China's top commercial blockbusters either have no female protagonists, such as "Changjin Lake", "Tang Detective", "Eight Hundred", or the fringed heroines in male-dominated blockbusters, "Wolf Warrior 2", "Wandering Earth", "Red Sea Action", "I am not a medicine god", "Chinese Captain" and so on.
As mentioned above in this top commercial blockbuster, it is dominated by mesozoic males.
Once the three ice because of the status of the arrival, the film salary is also high is not good to arrange the role, the role is more, but also talk about love to refer to "The Climber"; Zhou Dongyu, Zhang Zifeng is too young to bear the position of the heroine of the blockbuster; you think about Zhou Dongyu, Zhang Zifeng to Wu Jing, Shen Teng, they are not suitable as wives, right. It can only be given to the roles of daughters, sisters and juniors, but this is very strict on the subject matter.
85 flowers is that the acting strength has not been enough, and the film circle has not been given a chance but really can't afford it.
In this way, Tan Zhuo, Yuan Quan, Chen Shu and Xiao Songjia, who are not lost in strength, age, good visibility, and low remuneration, will be on top of mesozoic Qingyi (Ma Li has market scarcity).
Finally, there is only one way for actresses to break the game, and they can only be corrected in action blockbusters, science fiction blockbusters, police gunfight blockbusters and other themes, but the current Chinese film and television industry. The controversy of the TV series big heroine costume drama is not small, but coupled with the fact that urban drama has become one of the mainstream themes of TV dramas, commercial blockbusters I personally have not seen any top projects for the time being.
From this point of view, although the quality and reputation of "Hello Li Huanying" are now widely criticized by netizens, Jia Ling's breakthrough in the theme of female comedy can be regarded as the biggest contribution. Of course, Jia Ling, including the films starring Zhang Xiaofei in the future, are also very important. If the copy is successful, it is called breaking the game, and if the copy fails, it is called "short-lived".
Finally, I hope that Chinese films and China's film and television industry are getting better and better!
