Dragon Boat stall bottom! The box office of Zhou Yunfa's new film in 4 days is only 35.54 million, and the Hong Kong film has to wait for Stephen Chow to save the scene

This year's Dragon Boat Show "Don't Call Me God of Gamblers" box office dismal, in fact, reflects the dilemma of Hong Kong films in the mainland.

Although there are 11 new films released in the Dragon Boat Festival, the new films that really attract attention are "Disappearing Her" and "I Love You!" "Don't Call Me a God of Gamblers", "In the Octagon" 4 parts, "In the Octagon Cage" has a low box office, but after all, people are on demand, and there is still a chance to counterattack when it is officially released, "I Love You!" The box office broke 136 million in 4 days, which is also good for a small and medium-cost production.

And "Don't Call Me a God of Gamblers" is a real hit on the street.

Dragon Boat stall bottom! The box office in 4 days was only 35.54 million, and Chow Yun-fat failed to save the dilemma of Hong Kong films!

As of 17 o'clock on June 24, this year's Dragon Boat stall has basically ended.

"Disappearing Her" produced by Chen Sicheng won 489 million box office in 3 days, a proper big winner.

"I Love You" starring Liang Jiahui, Ni Dahong and other old drama bones, although it is a love theme for the elderly, it also won 137 million box office in 4 days of release. It can be regarded as the dark horse of this year's Dragon Boat Stall.

Although "In the Octagon Cage" is screened, the proportion of films has been maintained at 7%, and the box office exceeded 60.25 million in 3 days of screening, which can be regarded as laying a foundation for the official release on July 6, and the word-of-mouth score of 9.6 also gives Wang Baoqiang confidence in the face of "Drug Sweep 3" assembled by the three major actors, and overall it is not a loss.

But "Don't Call Me a God of Gamblers" is really disappointing.

The cumulative box office of the movie in 4 days of release was 35.54 million, the proportion of films fell all the way to 6.5%, the box office and attendance rate are the bottom of the Dragon Boat blockbuster, and even the four brothers of Hollywood Street "Transformers 7", "The Flash", "Crazy Element City" and "Spider-Man: Across the Universe" can't beat, you must know that these four Hollywood blockbusters have been released for a long time.

According to the current trend, the final box office of "Don't Call Me God of Gamblers" is about 70 million, and the film side can only share about 25 million, I don't know if it is enough to pay my brother. In terms of cost and production lineup, "Don't Call Me God of Gamblers" is undoubtedly the biggest box office tragedy in the Dragon Boat Festival.

Not only the box office, but even the quality of the film that Brother Fa is proud of is not good this time.

"Don't Call Me God of Gamblers" failed the Douban score, and the ticketing platform did not even dare to open a score until now, it is obvious that it is too low for fear of affecting the box office results, the movie can not actually be regarded as a bad film, but the heart of the movie rubbing heat does make the audience bored.

The plot of the movie is actually very simple and tacky.

Brother Fa plays the male protagonist bragging Hui, who was addicted to gambling when he was young, and was also amorous, so that the heroine played by Yuen Yongyi threw herself into her arms, and also made the heroine pregnant, but Bragging Hui still had nothing to do every day, and he knew to fool around with fox and dog friends.

In the end, the female protagonist was heartbroken and left the male protagonist.

Years later, Bragging Hui achieved nothing, and owed a lot of debts, barely relying on the barbershop to make a living, at this time the heroine came to the door to directly give Bragging Hui 100,000 yuan, the condition is to take care of a child for a month, the audience must be able to guess that this child is Bragging Hui's son, but Bragging Hui does not know, after all, at that time Bragging Hui did not know that the heroine was pregnant.

The child has mild autism and must always be cared for.

The whole movie is actually to shoot the daily life of the male protagonist and his son, and has nothing to do with what gamblers, of course, in order to rub the heat of feelings, the director deliberately let bragging imitate some clips of Brother Fa's classic movies, and even the famous scene of "The True Color of Heroes" Xiao Ma, but these are artificially made feelings and have nothing to do with the plot.

This kind of warm film director always wants to move the audience by hard sensationalism, but in the end he can only move himself.

The film was filmed in 2019, during which the title was changed from "Glory Years" to "Sunshine Years", and then changed to "I'm Not a God of Gamblers", and then to "Don't Call Me a God of Gamblers", these four titles actually reflect the heart of the producer, if it is released after "I Am Not the God of Medicine" in 2019, it is estimated that the title is "I am not the God of Gamblers", which dragged on for so long and finally returned to the crappy operation of selling feelings.

This year, Hong Kong films have really lost their armor in the mainland market.

The box office champion of Hong Kong films in the mainland in 2023 is Huang Zihua's "Poisonous Tongue Lawyer" with a box office of 187 million, and then Kwok Fucheng's "Broken Network", Tony Leung's "When the Wind Rises" and other blockbusters have not exceeded 100 million at the box office. I originally expected Brother Fa to be able to turn the tide, but I didn't expect that in the end, I couldn't even save myself.

Hong Kong films still have to wait for Stephen Chow to save the scene?

Double Monday Cheng used to be the representative of the most glorious time of Hong Kong films, but unfortunately now 69-year-old Jackie Chan can not play, it has been a long time since there was a blockbuster movie, not long ago released "Dragon Horse Spirit" plus Wu Jing, the box office is only 210 million, now Zhou Yunfa returned to the big screen after 5 years "Don't Call Me God of Gamblers" even broke 100 million is very difficult.

With the aging of superstars, Hong Kong films seem to have entered the last moment in the mainland, of course, Hong Kong films still have the biggest trump card.

After the box office failure of "The New King of Comedy" in the 2019 Spring Festival, Xingye has not seen the audience with a new film for 4 years, but at present, the box office of "The New King of Comedy", known as Pounce Street, is as high as 627 million, which shows that Xingye's box office appeal in the mainland is high.

At present, the work produced by Xingye is "Mermaid 2", and the work that is about to start is "Shaolin Women's Football", both are sequels to super IP, as long as there is no problem with quality, and even Xingye can star in "Shaolin Women's Football", Hong Kong films may usher in a wave of box office climax!
