Huo Jianhua and Zhao Liying starred in "Flower Thousand Bone", which is a very popular Xianxia drama. But such a big IP always has to shoot a movie version. starring Chen Turin and Li Chengbin, it will be released on January 20, 2024, but the total box office is currently only 5.13 million, which can be regarded as hitting the street.
The box office of Flower Thousand Bones was dismal
When this movie was officially announced, everyone was not very optimistic. The content of the 50 episodes of the TV series is to be filmed into a 97-minute movie, so you can imagine how much content will have to be compressed and deleted.
Coupled with the casting of this movie, it's really hard to put into words.
Especially with the drama version of Zhuyu in front, how can the audience want to watch it?
Although it has only been released for 4 days, the box office growth and attendance are very dismal, and the predicted total box office is only 7.61 million.
I heard that the investment of the movie is 100 million, which is really bloodless, and the actors' salaries are estimated to be insufficient, right?
Although the crew also invited Zhao Liying to promote, the bleakness of the box office has become irreparable.
The director apologized for the miserable sale
Seeing that the box office was so bleak, director Zhang Chaoli was also anxious and released an apology video.
said that he felt unexpectedly guilty about seeing that the box office was not satisfactory.
I feel sorry for the producer and teammates, and 4 years of hard work have not paid off.
But this so-called apology did not reflect on himself at all, nor did he apologize to the audience.
They didn't realize the reason for the box office dismal at all, and it's no wonder that everyone didn't pay for it.
This kind of movie is almost as big as an Internet university, and it dares to be released in theaters.
There are no powerful celebrities and top performers, extremely inconsistent casting, tattered costumes, and the audience will not pay for it at all.
and Chen Duling's blackened makeup, it's really terrible. Hua Qiangu is a demon god, not a monster.
With such a thick eyeliner and lipstick, it looks like it has been poisoned. No matter how beautiful an actor is, he can't withstand such makeup.
Six princesses spicy comment
In addition to the audience complaining that they don't want to watch it, some media also have comments. Especially the six princesses of CCTV, that is, the Chinese film report.
The commentator is very sharp, and bluntly said that the movie Hua Qiangu is the first bad at the beginning of 2024.
It's rare to see the six princesses so straightforward, which shows how bad the movie is Hua Qiangu.
The casting of Bai Zihua is too bad
The male protagonist of Hua Qiangu's white painting is a typical peerless beautiful man, with a dusty temperament beyond ordinary people.
In the TV series, he is played by Huo Jianhua, a beautiful man in ancient costumes, although the headgear is not very suitable, but Huo Jianhua's appearance is still online.
But the actor Li Chengbin in the movie version doesn't match Bai Zihua at all, and he is not even a handsome guy in ancient costume.
Discordant facial features, abrupt nose, not enough slender figure.
Not to mention the comparison with Huo Jianhua's version, even if it is compared with Mao Zijun, the second male number in the same crew, he can't afford to be the male lead.
If Mao Zijun had been asked to play Bai Zihua, the effect would have been much better.
Although Mao Zijun is not very in line with Bai Zihua, when this movie started, he was at the peak of his appearance.
Mao Zijun's ancient costume is very good, and his acting skills are also online, which can completely make up for the incompatibility in appearance.
If Mao Zijun plays Baizi painting, at least he and Chen Duling are a pleasing pair.
Some good-looking classic TV series, such as Hua Qiangu, Why Sheng Xiaomo, Three Lives and Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms, etc.
After the drama version became popular, he made a TV series. But without exception, they are all drama versions of classic film versions hitting the streets.
The example of spending thousands of bones at the box office once again gave the film industry a little wake-up call. If you want the audience to pay, the actors' plots are indispensable, otherwise the box office will teach them to be people.
