The sword pointed to the box office of 600 million, and the word-of-mouth of "Goldfinger" was seriously differentiated, and Tony Leung soared once
Who is the hottest in the film and television industry in 2023?
The TV drama aspect can be divided into three stages.
At the beginning of the year, "Hurricane" starring Zhang Songwen and Zhang Yi exploded in ratings and became a phenomenal domestic drama, and almost everyone was discussing this drama for a while.
In the middle of the year, Fan Wei and Qin Hao brought us "The Long Season", which told the fate of the little people under the torrent of the times in a eloquent way, and I couldn't get enough of it after reading it.
At the end of the year, Hu Ge stood out, and this time he joined Wong Kar-wai's "Flowers", which has set off a frenzy of watching dramas in just a few episodes, and the popularity has increased unabated.
In terms of movies, the popular "Goldfinger" happens to connect these three dramas, and Brother Brown loves it very much.
One
The old rule, let's first report to you on the box office ranking on Sunday, December 31, the New Year's Eve file is really extraordinary, the holiday movie-watching mood is high, and the market directly hit 732 million, a 52% increase from the previous day.
So far, the box office of the whole year of 2023 has ended, with a total of 54.9 billion yuan in rough reports, and the box office of 64.1 billion yuan in 2019, a difference of only about 9 billion.
This year's New Year's Eve file is also the most volatile in history, and the major producers are sharpening their knives, and the publicity and distribution methods are endless, all of which want to get a good result in this small period, so the competition is extremely fierce.
In the top ten list, except for "Aquaman 2" and "The Three Teams", the rest are new films, and the last three are the re-release version of "Your Wedding", "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 3" starring Ge You and Shu Qi, and Zheng Yuanjie's original IP animated film "Shuke Beta Pentagon Flying Saucer".
Taylor Swift's concert movie landed in mainland theaters yesterday and got 40.16 million on the first day, ranking fifth, much stronger than the previous Hollywood blockbusters.
On the third day of the release of "Sneaking" starring Andy Lau, Lin Jiadong and Peng Yuyan, the ranking slipped to fourth, and the space for film scheduling was seriously squeezed, and the predicted box office also fell from the previous 600 million to 480 million.
The top three are "Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle Star", "Annual Meeting Can't Stop!" and "Goldfinger".
Qu Chuxiao and Zhang Jianing starred in the fantasy romance film "Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle Star", which got an absolute advantage in the "Snow Field", so the box office exploded 552 million in two days, and it won the box office championship for two consecutive days.
However, the film's reputation is not proportional to the box office, so after the New Year's Day, the film is very likely to fall sharply.
The comedy "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop!" starring Dapeng, Bai Ke and Zhuang Dafei increased its box office by 95% on the second day of its release on Sunday, gaining 99.7 million again, with a cumulative box office of 231 million in two days, winning the runner-up.
This film will be the most powerful opponent of "Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle Star", such a prolific Dapeng continues to release high-quality works, "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop!" scored 8.0 points on Douban, surpassing Stephen Chow's comedy "Mermaid" and "Journey to the West".
is 0.2 points higher than Shen Teng Ma Li's "Charlotte's Troubles", and with the blessing of high word of mouth, the film schedule is also increasing accordingly, and many audiences will come to watch the movie.
It seems that the top spot in the comedy is about to change hands to Dapeng.
Andy Lau and Tony Leung starred in "Goldfinger" The box office increased slightly the next day, hitting 89.03 million in a single day, ranking third, with a total box office of 156 million in two days, and it is predicted that the box office will be 600 million.
To be honest, this result is still not ideal, and the possibility of earning a high box office is very small, and the main reason is that word-of-mouth presents two extremes.
Two
After the large-scale opening of "Goldfinger", Douban released a word-of-mouth score of 6.5, with 26,000 people participating in the rating, which is generally decent, and there is still a gap between what everyone expected before.
After all, everyone wants to see Zhuang Wenqiang create the pinnacle of "Infernal Affairs" and "Wushuang" again, but in fact, the vast majority of the audience has given an equal reputation.
There are 9.4% of viewers who hit five stars, 27.9% of those who have four stars, and 44.1% of those who have three stars.
Fans who like this movie think that this is a masterpiece, and the audience who can't watch it may feel that the film is useless.
"Goldfinger" is a movie adapted from Hong Kong's famous "Jianing Case", it can be said that this time Zhuang Wenqiang has almost done everything and completely put this sensational Hong Kong case on the big screen.
The prototype character of the story is Chen Songqing.
In 1972, Chen Songqing, who went bankrupt in Singapore, ran away and came to Hong Kong, and just started preparing to work as a civil engineer and engage in construction.
In 1979, Chen Songqing, who was hiding from the world, borrowed a large amount of money from U-Ming Min's finance, and then changed the shell of a small company to be listed, renamed Jianing Company, and then officially entered the Hong Kong stock market.
In 1980, he spent a lot of money to harvest the Golden Horse Building in Central with 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, and sold it for 1.7 billion half a year later, making a net profit of 700 million Hong Kong dollars.
In 1981, Chen Songqing set up a chain of companies in Hong Kong and around the world, and expanded his business to real estate, shipping, tourism, etc.
In 1982, after the Sino-British negotiations, the Hang Seng Index plummeted, and under its influence, Jianing's stock price continued to evaporate, the bubble burst, and tens of thousands of Hong Kong investors suffered heavy losses.
In 1983, Jianing was suspended and liquidated, and Chen Songqing was involved in many cases.
In 1996, Chen Songqing pleaded guilty to one of the minor charges and was sentenced to three years in prison.
So far, Chen Songqing lives a semi-retired life in Clear Water Bay, Hong Kong.
The story line of "Goldfinger" completely replicates the whole process of Chen Songqing's career to bankruptcy and imprisonment, if you want to watch "Infernal Affairs", you may be a little disappointed.
The characters are not as profound and capable as in "Infernal Affairs", but the core has a strong sense of irony, as a Chinese New Year blockbuster, it is a qualified work, especially Tony Leung's acting skills exploded again this time.
Three
In the minds of the vast majority of audiences, Tony Leung gives people the feeling that he is mature and steady, introverted, and more introverted, but in "Goldfinger", we see a different Tony Leung.
It can be said that this is Tony Leung's most arrogant performance since the movie, in a word, that is: Tony Leung soared once.
This involves the three dramas mentioned at the beginning of this article.
The first is "Hurricane".
Zhang Songwen portrayed the villain Gao Qiqiang in it, which became a topic of discussion after dinner, he started from a fishmonger, through his own learning Xi "Thirty-six Strategies" and Uncle Tai's cultivation, in just a few years, Jinghai Qiangsheng Group has flourished.
The reason why this drama is so good is that Gao Qiqiang's history is so exciting, coupled with Zhang Songwen's performance, he became famous all over the world in one fell swoop, and Zhang Songwen and "Hurricane" have achieved each other.
In "Goldfinger", Liu Qiyuan played by Andy Lau is exactly the same as An Xin played by Zhang Yi, who is stubborn to the end, and he must be brought to justice. And Cheng Yiyan played by Tony Leung is actually Gao Qiqiang in "Hurricane".
Similarly, Cheng Yiyan, the villain, was completely played by Tony Leung, and the behavior of an ordinary person before and after making a fortune, as well as the changes in mentality, were all brilliantly interpreted by Tony Leung.
Sure enough, villains are easy to shine out.
The second is "The Long Season".
The most typical feature of this drama is that it is slowly lyrical, and all the emotions are concentrated until episode 11 fully explodes.
The horse team beats the uncle, Fan Wei recognizes his son, Fan Wei and Liu Lin have a conversation in the taxi, Qin Hao's marriage with his lover, and the end of the relationship with the pigeon, and the horse team has a stroke in the KTV room......
Their end was already preordained.
In "Goldfinger", in the first half, director Zhuang Wenqiang used the technique of retrospective flashback, and the lawyer played by Fang Zhongxin taught the team members how to fight wits and courage with ICAC staff.
In one of them, the consortium behind the team's statement about Cheng Yiyan has made overseas war scenes.
And in the follow-up, almost all the team members did not have a good end, which is very similar to "The Long Season".
The third is "Flowers".
Mr. Bao played by Hu Ge, with the assistance of Mr. You Benchang, has developed from an unknown little person to a business wizard known to everyone on the Yellow River Road in Shanghai in just a few years.
And his first pot of gold came from Shanghai, he caught this train, and he became a legend after his career.
In "Goldfinger", Cheng Yiyan came to Hong Kong, penniless, Zeng Cambridge played by Ren Dahua, let him earn the first pot of gold, if you want to compare, Ren Dahua's role is You Benchang's role in "Flowers".
And Tony Leung is the boss of "Flowers", but the difference is that one is a villain and the other is decent.
Tony Leung vividly expressed Cheng Yiyan's "print as much as you want" personality of "printing as much as you want", the madness is funny and funny, it is really exquisite.
Overall, "Goldfinger" is still a very good movie, and I personally think it's great!
