With a loss of 550 million yuan in 7 years and 6 movies in a row, Tony Leung finally came up with this new film that had been hidden for 2 years
As the acting god of Hong Kong movies, Tony Leung has been questioned too much in recent years!
From starring in Marvel's "Shang Qi", he played the controversial Mandarin. To the recent guest appearance in the MV of the Korean girl group, I originally wanted to please the Korean audience and brush a sense of presence in China by the way, but I didn't expect that this Korean girl group had stolen Chinese culture.
A national first-class actor, 9 actor awards, 61-year-old Tony Leung does not know what the picture is.
Perhaps the deeper reason is that Tony Leung is unwilling to integrate into the mainland film circle, you can see that Tony Leung has starred in many blockbusters over the years, but he is basically unwilling to come to the mainland to publicize, and there was a social fear character before, so the MV of this cameo Korean girl group is not easy to explain.
As the most skilled actor in Hong Kong movies, Tony Leung has contributed bad films in recent years!
A loss of 550 million in 7 years, 6 movies in a row! Tony Leung stepped down from the altar.
2016 should be a turning point in Tony Leung's film career.
The star-studded "Ferryman" broke through 482 million at the box office, but the Douban score was only 4.1 points, the most funny thing is that these movie stars do not care about the audience's feelings, film producer Wong Kar-wai put on an attitude, the audience does not like it, I like it!
As a result, almost all the stars of the entertainment industry came, brushing the screen like a water army: I like it.
I just want to press the audience and bow my head.
The most funny thing is that this film has invited too many stars, director Zhang Jiajia said that the box office needs 1 billion to return the cost, according to the total cost of the film is about 300 million, not only did not make money, but lost 120 million.
After that, Tony Leung seemed to have opened up the second pulse of the bad film Ren Du, "Monster Hunt" has a sparse reputation, in 2018, Tony Leung was stunned to shoot "Monster Hunt 2", although the box office broke 2.2 billion, but the Douban score fell to 4.9 points, and fans' impression of Tony Leung's movie was a little negative.
In the same year, Tony Leung also starred in the famous bad film "European Raiders".
This film cost 300 million yuan, filmed in many countries, Tony Leung is obviously invited by a lot of money, but it is a pity that this top idol surnamed Wu is now stepping on the sewing machine. The movie Douban score is 3.5, the box office is only 153 million, and the loss is more than 250 million.
"European Raiders" really broke the hearts of many fans, and also made Tony Leung not release a new film for 3 years.
As a result, the first movie made after his comeback in 2021 was "Shang Qi"! Due to well-known reasons, this film has not been released in the mainland, aside from the extra-the-scenes elements, "Shang Qi" is also a big bad film, the war scenes are small and familyish, the male and female protagonists have negative scores for their acting skills, and the whole movie is a Hollywood unqualified assembly line product in the name of currying favor with Chinese audiences.
In 2023, Tony Leung successively brought "Nameless" and "When the Wind Rises Again", and the reputation is average.
"Nameless" in the mainland market is almost the main Wang Yibo, Tony Leung is the same as stealth, "When the Wind Rises Again" has been hidden for many years and cost 200 million to produce, according to director Weng Ziguang, half of the cost of the film is the salary of Tony Leung and Kwok Fucheng.
As a result, the box office of "When the Wind Rises Again" was only 49.04 million, with a loss of more than 180 million, and "Nameless" was only barely able to preserve its capital.
It can be seen that from 2016 to 2023, in just 7 years, Tony Leung's 6 movies are all bad films, among which "The Ferryman", "European Raiders" and "When the Wind Rises Again" are all annual box office tragedies, with a cumulative loss of more than 550 million!
Especially in "When the Wind Rises Again", Kwok Fucheng plus Leung Chaowei and other Wang Fried lineup, the box office is less than 50 million.
It would have been unimaginable in previous years. Was Tony Leung really abandoned by mainland audiences? Perhaps this new film with Andy Lau is a lifesaver for Tony Leung!
After 2 years of snow storage, Tony Leung finally came up with this raw new film! It cost 350 million to produce.
"Goldfinger" is undoubtedly the last hope of this year's Hong Kong films, scheduled for December 30, 2023, a real finale blockbuster!
"Infernal Affairs" screenwriter Zhuang Wenqiang directed, Andy Lau and Tony Leung collaborated again after 20 years after "Infernal Affairs", and will be released simultaneously in nearly 20 markets around the world, after all, the golden signboard of "Infernal Affairs" is too attractive.
"Goldfinger" is a movie with a time span of 15 years, and Tony Leung plays the boss of a listed company, who made 10 billion yuan from scratch! The inside story during this period is jaw-dropping, and the senior investigation director played by Andy Lau has been tracking down Tony Leung for 15 years and finally reveals the truth.
The film started shooting in 2021 and was originally scheduled to be released in 2022, but due to the extremely large scale, it was delayed until the end of 2023 and was hidden in the snow for 2 years, which is extremely pressure for a blockbuster that costs 350 million yuan.
Fortunately, the film currently looks very good.
"Goldfinger" has released a final trailer, and Tony Leung's acting skills have returned to peak with the blessing of a reliable production team.
This year, Hong Kong films have really lost their armor in the mainland market, Jackie Chan's "Dragon Horse Spirit" pounced, Chow Yun-fat's "Don't Call Me a God of Gamblers" lost, Koo Tianle's "Drug Sweep 3" and "Assassination Storm" two consecutive pounces, Kwok Fucheng's "When the Wind Rises Again", "Cut the Internet" and "Drug Sweep 3" three times in a row.
Only Andy Lau has maintained the top box office appeal, there are Hong Kong films such as "Bomb Disposal Expert 2" and "Drug Sweep 2" in the box office ceiling in the mainland market, and there are also cases such as "The Wandering Earth 2" that participate in the top production and sales in the mainland, and then Andy Lau has "Crisis Route", "Operation Moscow", "Mr. Red Carpet" and "Sneak" many big-scale productions released.
Among them, "Sneak" is also scheduled for December 29, 2023, and Andy Lau will stage himself to beat himself on New Year's Eve.
I believe that with Andy Lau's blessing, "Goldfinger" and "Sneak" will achieve excellent box office results, and for Tony Leung and Hong Kong films, it can be regarded as a turnaround battle at the last moment of 2023!
