Every year on New Year's Day, there will be a lot of movies released one after another, and this year is the same, starting from December 30th, Feng Xiaogang, Xu Guanghan and other well-known directors and actors have come up with works that have been prepared for a long time.
For example: the movie "Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle Star", this movie relied on the popularity of the previously released online drama and the sentence "Zhang Wansen, it's snowing" before it was launched, which was expected by many netizens before it was launched, so as soon as this movie was released, many netizens immediately bought tickets to watch it.
"If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb 3" directed by Feng Xiaogang, although there is no fanfare for the promotion of the movie, with the accumulated reputation of the first two movies, it has also attracted many audiences to watch it in theaters.
In addition, many netizens went to the cinema to watch the movie "Your Wedding" starring Xu Guanghan because of the sentence "The movie can be re-screened, but we can't do it again".
However, among the New Year's Day films in which the gods fought, there was a movie that became the dark horse of the New Year's Day file, and the box office exceeded 100 million on the first day of release.
The dark horse of the New Year's Day file
As soon as the movie "Goldfinger" directed by Zhuang Wenqiang was released, it broke out of the encirclement among the movies released during the New Year's Day.
Zhuang Wenqiang is a well-known director in the entertainment industry, and has directed many film and television works like "Wushuang", which are loved by the audience.
This movie is based on the "Jianing Case", one of the top ten strange cases in Hong Kong, and Zhuang Wenqiang basically reproduced the original case when he filmed "Goldfinger".
The film is set in Hong Kong in 1960, when many people from the mainland came to Hong Kong to make money.
The same is true for the protagonist Cheng Yiyan, although Cheng Yiyan has ambitions and has found business opportunities, he does not have enough assets for him to develop in the industry he fancies.
Therefore, Cheng Yiyan contacted the bosses of some well-known enterprises in Hong Kong to invest in him, but because Cheng Yiyan was soft-spoken at the time, these bosses did not take him seriously.
Although Cheng Yiyan was very dissatisfied with this, in order to get what he wanted, he still laughed on the sidelines.
Later, as Cheng Yiyan changed from a poor ordinary person to the well-known boss of Jiawen Group, his original intention gradually changed and he became a ruthless businessman.
However, Cheng Yiyan did not live such a beautiful life for a few years, because of the company's poor management, which led to heavy losses for small shareholders, and Cheng Yiyan, as the boss of the company, did not bear any responsibility.
The movie "Goldfinger" not only has a wonderful plot and distinct characters, but also brings together many well-known actors in the movie.
A high-profile cast
Everyone should be familiar with the name Andy Lau, Andy Lau played the role of the investigation team leader "Liu Qiyuan" in the play, and it is not the first time that he has cooperated with the actor Cheng Yiyan's actor "Tony Leung".
They have participated in "Infernal Affairs" together before, but in these two film and television works they have collaborated on, what is surprising is that the roles of Andy Lau and Tony Leung have changed the position of the villain.
Before this movie, Andy Lau's roles on the screen were basically positive roles, and it was precisely because of this that it added a lot of highlights to "Goldfinger".
Similar to Andy Lau, Tony Leung also has Tony Leung, when the crew first announced that Tony Leung would play the role of "Cheng Yiyan", many netizens expressed their doubts, saying that Tony Leung's image did not match this role.
The reason why the audience thinks so is because Tony Leung has played almost all positive roles in his previous film and television works, while the actor "Cheng Yiyan" in "Goldfinger" is a notorious villain.
However, the audience's worries disappeared immediately after the movie was released, and Tony Leung has changed his previous impression in the hearts of the audience in this movie, and interpreted the role of "Cheng Yiyan" to the fullest.
In "Goldfinger", "Liu Qiyuan" has always regarded "Cheng Yiyan" as his enemy because of the accusations of shareholders, although on the surface he has never given up the investigation, but because of the forces behind "Cheng Yiyan", he has not been able to find Cheng Yiyan's flaws.
However, in fact, this behavior of "Liu Qiyuan" provided "Cheng Yiyan" with a lot of respite, and later, with the continuous efforts of "Liu Qiyuan", "Cheng Yiyan" was finally successfully sentenced.
Andy Lau and Tony Leung are rivals in the movie, and the rivalry between them has made many viewers addicted.
In addition to Andy Lau and Tony Leung, there are many other powerful actors in "Goldfinger", such as: The role of "Zhang Jiawen" played by Cai Zhuoyan is more tragic in the movie.
Cai Zhuoyan's performance in the movie is very exciting, for example, when she saw "Zhang Jiawen" and learned that her name was the same as the boss's wife, Cai Zhuoyan perfectly interpreted the disappointment and sadness of the character through her eyes, which made many viewers can't help but cry for her.
And although "Zhang Jiawen" already knew that he was just a stand-in, he still had to act as if nothing had happened in the scene, and the sense of brokenness shown made many netizens feel distressed.
When Ren Dahua starred in the movie, "Cheng Yiyan's" Bole "Zeng Cambridge" can be said to be inseparable from the help of "Zeng Cambridge" behind the success of "Cheng Yiyan".
But "Cheng Yiyan" attacked his Bole after becoming famous, and the reason why he ended up with such a fate is also inseparable from the fact that he once used "Cheng Yiyan".
However, he let go of "Liu Qiyuan" who has always wanted to bring him to justice, although in the movie, "Liu Qiyuan" has also encountered some things with his family, but it is not difficult to see from the words of "Cheng Yiyan" that this is not the hand of "Cheng Yiyan".
In these three characters, we can see the complexity and changeability of human nature, although in the movie, Ren Dahua's performance is not as good as Andy Lau and others to attract the audience's attention, but it also plays the role of "Zeng Cambridge" very well.
epilogue
In addition to the above-mentioned actors, there are also many powerful actors in "Goldfinger", with their blessing and the joint efforts of all the staff in the crew, the box office of "Goldfinger" exceeded 100 million on the first day of its release, and it has become a dark horse in the New Year's Day movie.
However, because everyone's preferences are different, it is understandable that although "Goldfinger" is so popular, there are still people who don't like it.
