Four days after its release, Jackie Chan's new film "Dragon Horse Spirit" got more than 80 million box office. To be honest, this data is not worthy of an international superstar like Jackie Chan, and the final total box office will not be too high. It can be seen that Jackie Chan really can't carry the box office.
Jackie Chan can not carry the box office, not in the last year or two, in fact, since many years ago, Jackie Chan's box office appeal has declined, I don't believe you can look at the movies starring Jackie Chan in recent years, none of them have a box office of more than 1 billion, and the lowest is even "The Mystery of the Dragon Card" with a box office of 20 million.
I have to sigh that Lian Po is old, the era of Jackie Chan has passed, and now he can no longer carry the box office.
Hong Kong films have indeed declined, and in today's Hong Kong entertainment industry, not only Jackie Chan can't carry the box office, but many movie celebrities in the past can't carry the box office.
Let's start with Andy Lau. Andy Lau previously starred in "The Wandering Earth 2" with Wu Jing and was questioned by many netizens, saying that he could not carry the box office alone, and could only rub Wu Jing's popularity. The current Andy Lau should be an actor who can barely carry the box office in the current Hong Kong entertainment industry, but if he is really allowed to carry the box office alone, it is difficult to make a big hit.
Donnie Yen also has a great influence in the film industry, and the "Ip Man" series has established his status in the film industry. If it were before, Donnie Yen would definitely be able to carry the box office alone, but now he has also fallen off the altar, "Search and Rescue" box office hit the street, "The Legend of Qiao Feng" did not dare to go to the theater to fight, this is the best proof.
Gu Tianle has a good reputation and a big enough coffee position, but his box office results are decent, there is no big hit, and there is a certain box office appeal, but you have to let him carry the box office alone, sorry, now he is afraid that he really can't carry it.
Some time ago, Tony Leung and Kwok Fucheng Shuangwang starring "When the Wind Rises Again" hit the street at the box office, indicating that these two people could not carry the box office. To say that Kwok Fucheng is redundant, he has never had box office appeal.
There is also Nicholas Tse, whose influence is large enough and popular, and there are several film works with good box office results. However, to let him come out alone to carry the box office, it is almost interesting. Don't believe it, it is said that Nicholas Tse has made a few more movies, whether he can carry the box office and take it out to sneak out.
It can be seen that the movie celebrities in the Hong Kong entertainment industry are now facing a common problem - they cannot carry the box office alone. And the only person who is likely to carry the box office alone is only one person, that is, Stephen Chow.
That's right, Stephen Chow can be said to be the only actor in the current Hong Kong entertainment industry who is likely to carry the box office alone, and what I say is that it is possible, not necessarily certain.
The reason why Stephen Chow can carry the box office alone has nothing to do with acting skills and coffee positions, just because of feelings. Because Stephen Chow has not acted in a movie for many years, if he can star in a movie, relying on feelings alone, in the case of good scripts, publicity, and markets, he should still get a good box office result.
Of course, we don't know if Stephen Chow will act in a movie, but "Mermaid 2" directed by him should be released in the next year or two, and we can still look forward to it. Although he didn't participate in this movie, we can still use it to measure his box office appeal, so wait and see.
