Hollywood blockbusters have always been loved by audiences for their world-leading picture texture and shooting technology. However, in recent years, the proportion of imported films in the cinema market in Chinese mainland has decreased significantly. Among domestic films, there are also hot works such as "Chosin Lake" and "The Wandering Earth" that represent the development of the film industry.
Today, the actor with the most commercial value in Chinese mainland is undoubtedly Wu Jing, who has a box office of 28.5 billion.
"Megalodon 2" was officially announced, and the box office was expected
The "Megalodon" series of movies is a typical action science fiction adventure film, the first film was joined by Li Bingbing, and finally got more than 1 billion at the box office in Chinese mainland. However, from the perspective of the word of mouth gained by the movie, the score of "Megalodon" in Douban is only 5.7 points, compared with the plot content of the movie, the attraction of "Megalodon" to the audience is actually the action scene and special effect texture.
Not surprisingly, Megalodon 2: The Abyss will follow the same route. However, "Megalodon 2" because of the joining of Wu Jing, the performance at the box office will definitely be more appealing than the first one. After all, although Li Bingbing is online, her presence in the film and television circle in recent years is not high, and the appeal of the box office is also very limited.
But Wu Jing is different, as an absolute strength actor in the Chinese mainland, he is basically a box office guarantee and a hot koi. His joining is almost equivalent to "Megalodon 2" taking the lead in winning the Chinese market.
Of course, the current news of the film is only in North America, and on August 4, 2023, the film will meet with fans in North America, and there is no accurate information as to when it will be launched Chinese mainland.
Of course, for Wu Jing, participating in "Megalodon 2" also has more advantages than disadvantages, although the reputation of the first part of the film is average, but the audience of Hollywood blockbusters is global film fans. The IP influence of the film itself and the eye-catching degree of Hollywood blockbusters will further promote Wu Jing's film and television career to go abroad and out of Asia.
The key is that with Wu Jing's influence in China, the movie "Megalodon 2" is destined to develop with a story line of two male protagonists, and there will never be a situation where Chinese actors play soy sauce or drag the plot in the first part. It is precisely because of this that the box office of "Megalodon 2" is quite exciting.
"Megalodon 2" has a brilliant lineup and is full of sincerity in production
According to the official information, "Megalodon 2" is also filmed in Shenzhen, and the Chinese actors in the movie are probably not only Wu Jing. On the technical level, "Megalodon 2" is destined to be a more shocking work than "Megalodon".
The filmmakers also promised the audience that "Megalodon 2" will give back to fans with a more gripping story and more intense and exciting scenes.
In fact, in the first part, the filmmakers have already shown sincerity, through modeling and various post-production means on the screen, so that the audience can see the most realistic special effects shark on the screen. The shark, which is 20 meters long and weighs nearly 70 tons, not only needs a huge rendering site and faster and more complex calculation methods, but also a huge team that supports the technology to be perfectly presented in the movie.
This sincerity, of course, will continue in "Megalodon 2", but in addition, the first slightly "more than technical, insufficient care" literary and dramatic situation will be further improved.
You should know that the reason why the first film is generally word-of-mouth performance is because the emotional line in it is abrupt and perfunctory. In particular, the role played by Li Bingbing is basically everywhere to let people save, inexplicably and the male protagonist look at each other, and the personal growth line has no point of view.
But obviously, Wu Jing's joining is destined to fight sharks with Statham, in addition to the wonderful fight scenes, the cp between Wu Jing and Statham is also likely to be a major attraction in the movie. And only when Wu Jing's role in the plot is highlighted, the Chinese market will be willing to pay.
At present, "Megalodon 2" not only has a brilliant lineup, but also clearly favors the Chinese market in terms of production sincerity, which alone is enough to make the film win the favor of the audience.
Of course, before the film was officially launched, no audience could predict the quality of the film and the acceptance of the post-release market. However, the author believes that Wu Jing's participation in the film is of great help to him personally and to the box office of the film.
Nowadays, in addition to expecting the two to play more rival scenes in the play, I believe that the audience hopes that the filmmakers will launch the Chinese market as soon as possible. Finally, I also hope that Wu Jing can have more blessings of character charm in the movie, so that the world can see his martial arts skills and professionalism.
