There is no trouble in the eighth day of the first month
Edit丨No worries about the eighth day of the first month
introduction
Every holiday is a time for a group of filmmakers to compete, from the director to the lineup, from the script to the film schedule, everyone can roll up, and the competition is quite fierce.
And in the just-concluded New Year's Day holiday, the cross-romance film "Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle Star" fired its first shot;
Xu Guanghan starred in the remake of "Your Wedding" and set off a love boom again;
Comedy star Dapeng also played steadily, followed with "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop!"
It's not over yet, this New Year's Day file also has Feng Xiaogang's special Ge You starring in "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 3", although this movie has not been widely promoted, but because it has been ten years since the previous one, the lineup is so luxurious, it is still full of expectations.
Judging from the director's cast, script background, and market situation, these films have great potential, and there is a high probability that they will occupy the top few at the box office.
Judging from the current statistics, there is a "dark horse" that broke in and won the third place!
Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle Star
After the broadcast of the online drama version of "Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle Star" in 2022, it has aroused heated discussions among netizens. The audience was saddened by the death of the male protagonist Zhang Wansen played by Qu Xiaosu, so the heroine's sentence "Zhang Wansen, it's snowing" has also become uneasy for the audience.
It is precisely because of the popularity of the online drama version that the production team launched the movie version of "Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle Star", and ingeniously said that it will bring the audience a special experience, "snowing" in the theater, so that the audience can immerse themselves in the scene and feel the psychology of the protagonist.
However, although "Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle Star" took the lead at the box office of 600 million and successfully won the first place, and the plot was not picky, there were many problems in the special link "snow".
As a result, "Zhang Wansen, an avalanche" and "Zhang Wansen, don't go down anymore" have become high-frequency complaints from the audience.
However, this snow is also a new attempt by the producer and the cinema, although there are many bad reviews in the link, but the final box office is still very ideal.
Do Not Disturb 3
As a comedy with feelings, the performance of "If You Are Honest 3" this time is not ideal, it can be said that it is very bad, ranking fifth at the box office, which is completely unexpected by everyone.
You must know that the first and second films of the year were all popular movies, especially "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", which won the first place at the box office of domestic films, but why is "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb 3" so bleak and has become what everyone calls a "bad movie"?
The reason is very simple, Feng Xiaogang and Ge You's comedy does not meet the appetite of contemporary young people!
In fact, there have been several iterations of Chinese comedy movies in the past few decades, and even Huang Bo and Xu Zheng have been defeated by today's most popular happy twist, not to mention the older Feng Xiaogang and Ge You.
For example, in this New Year's Day file, "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop!" starring Dapeng ranked second at the box office, and the results were quite good.
Today's audiences prefer novel, trendy, and network-like comedy movies, "If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb 3" is already outdated in terms of setting.
If we taste this movie carefully, we can find that his audience is older, and it can even be said that middle-aged and elderly people can empathize, and middle-aged and elderly people don't like to join in the excitement of the New Year's Eve with young people, so there is a dismal box office situation.
"Your Wedding"
Xu Guanghan has always been a popular actor in love movies and TV series, and the feedback on the films starring him is still very good.
However, netizens of "Your Wedding" did not buy it this time, and the box office fell directly out of the top five list, which was even more dismal than "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 3".
In terms of plot setting, the 2021 version of "Your Wedding" is old-fashioned, although there are a lot of box offices and the score is not low, but in fact, it is all supported by Xu Guanghan alone, especially after Xu Guanghan just became popular with "I Want to See You", "Your Wedding" was released.
In the face of competitors like "Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle Star", it is not surprising that "Your Wedding" will be suppressed.
Goldfinger
If you want to talk about an unexpected dark horse, it is definitely Andy Lau and Tony Leung's "Goldfinger".
In the past few years, these two actors-level figures have really made a lot of "bad movies", and the commercial atmosphere is strong, so when "Goldfinger" was promoted, although Andy Lau and Tony Leung faced off again after 20 years, many viewers did not look forward to it.
However, after its release, in the word of mouth of the audience, the box office of "Goldfinger" skyrocketed and successfully locked the third place on New Year's Day.
The reason why "Goldfinger" was able to break out of the encirclement this time is inseparable from the background of the script, which is adapted from the sensational Hong Kong financial fraud case "Jianing Case".
To date, the Jianing case remains the largest and most complex fraud and corruption case in Hong Kong, with an amount of more than HK$6 billion, and 4,000 square feet of room alone is required to store the evidence.
Because the case is too complex, there are many cases within the case, and murder is involved, so the Hong Kong ICAC investigation has taken more than 10 years alone. And it is still very difficult to condense the game of the past 10 years into a movie and put it on the big screen.
Fortunately, the director of "Goldfinger" is Zhuang Wenqiang, that is, the producer of "Infernal Affairs" 20 years ago.
In the movie, Tony Leung stands on the opposite side, playing Cheng Yiyan, the boss of Carnival Group, while Andy Lau plays the role of senior investigation director Liu Qiyuan, and the two have also been engaged in a game for 10 years in the movie.
In the opening film, Zhuang Wenqiang brought a strong sense of contrast to the audience, first Cheng Yiyan was drunk in a brilliant nightclub, and then the quick transition turned into Liu Qiyuan's difficult investigation.
The warm and cold tones made the audience feel a great impact and became nervous with the rhythm of the movie.
In the movie, Cheng Yiyan was originally just the owner of a travel agency, and it was very hard to lead the group in person, but I don't know what actions were made behind the scenes, so that the small Jiawen Travel Agency developed into a Jiawen Group with a market value of 10 billion.
The most important thing is that the listed Jiawen Group suddenly broke out of the debt crisis in just a few years, and the stock price plummeted and finally had to be liquidated, leaving countless shareholders with no return, but Cheng Yiyan did not have any punishment.
Because of this, Liu Qiyuan pursued Cheng Yiyan relentlessly, however, the complexity of this case was beyond his imagination, and almost affected the entire Hong Kong upper class.
In the preview, Zhuang Wenqiang hung his appetite and left enough suspense in how Cheng Yiyan made a fortune, some people said that he met a rich woman when he was leading the group, some people said that he encountered a local war when he was leading the group, and some people said that Cheng Yiyan was involved in the mafia struggle, in short, Cheng Yiyan seemed to have encountered some opportunity when leading the group, and he made a fortune all of a sudden.
Liu Qiyuan naturally didn't believe a word of these words, so he was very forbearing, kept looking for evidence, and vowed to make Cheng Yiyan pay the price.
What the ending looks like, we won't spoil it.
But in the context of the sluggish Hong Kong entertainment industry, "Goldfinger" is a very sincere movie, in addition to Andy Lau and Tony Leung, there are also big names, and movie stars such as Ren Dahua and Cai Zhuoyan also came to make cameos.
It is these reasons that make "Goldfinger" a dark horse, beating Feng Xiaogang and Xu Guanghan, and fighting a bloody way in the star-studded New Year's Day file, and the box office exceeded 100 million on the first day of release.
I don't know if there are any friends who patronized the cinema on New Year's Day, leave your opinions!
