Who would have thought that in this March film market, the person who lost the most was actually a superstar:

Andy lau.

Two movies were released, "Mr. Red Carpet" was miserable at the box office, and the other one was even worse than "Mr. Red Carpet".

The daily box office of "Life and Death Racing" is only 28,000, which makes people doubt their eyes!

The king, the actor, is it out of order?

"Mr. Red Carpet" starring Andy Lau and directed by Ning Hao was released for a few days during the Spring Festival, with a mediocre reputation, a slump at the box office, and it was difficult to break 100 million, and then it was urgently withdrawn and re-released on March 15.

However, in March, a high-reputation movie "Removing the Three Evils Around the Week" hit strongly, and the word-of-mouth box office sang all the way, and even the Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster "Dune 2" was suppressed, which made "Mr. Red Carpet", which was trying to rise again, become a fire again.

5 days after the re-release, the daily box office of "Mr. Red Carpet" could not even reach 700,000, and the current cumulative box office has only exceeded 91 million.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the box office of "Mr. Red Carpet" is hopeless, compared to the alleged investment of 260 million, the current box office of this movie can only be described in four words: no return.

Although the problem of "Mr. Red Carpet" is not Andy Lau, as the main creator, it is indispensable to follow director Ning Hao to take the blame.

Objectively speaking, Andy Lau acted very carefully this time, and even made breakthroughs, and some plots in the film are still on the verge of danger.

Director Ning Hao is mainly responsible, and the overall script and editing are too self-absorbed, and do not take into account the viewing experience of ordinary audiences.

"Mr. Red Carpet" originally had a chance to win the audience, because it was known as an "absurd comedy", but the movie opened with Cantonese lines at the beginning, and it took the initiative to cut off communication with many audiences.

The so-called comedy is not comedy enough, some black humor elements are used too obscurely, unable to reach the audience's laughter, and unable to resonate, and even some viewers said after watching it: I don't know what I want to express.

originally thought that "Mr. Red Carpet" was just a mistake by Andy Lau, but what I didn't expect was that on March 16, another movie starring Andy Lau was released and lost even more.

After 4 days of release, the cumulative box office was less than 500,000, and the daily box office was only 28,000.

This movie is "Life and Death Racing" (formerly known as "Speed Road") from Taiwan, China, and the director and screenwriter are Ke Youqian and Ke Youlun brothers respectively.

The father of these two is the late famous artist and stuntman Ke Shouliang, who was also Andy Lau's former good brother, and once sang the famous "Stupid Child" together.

The Ke brothers chose to shoot the theme of racing this time, on the one hand, to pay tribute to their father, and on the other hand, they felt that they wanted to replicate the success of "Initial D", but unfortunately everyone only watched a "Flying Life 2", the quality contrast of the film was too obvious, and the audience was powerless to complain.

The protagonist of this movie is not Andy Lau, but rapper Thin Man and female singer Chen Jiahua.

Obviously, this time Andy Lau took care of the two brothers of the Ke family, and it was a friendly cameo in the movie "Life and Death Racing", and everyone could see that he was paying off his debts.

Andy Lau is also over 60 years old, and he has done his best in this racing-themed movie. This time, he also played husband and wife with his old screen partner Lin Jiaxin.

It is worth mentioning that Andy Lau did not pass by in this movie, but appeared in a solid period of almost 10 minutes.

Not only Andy Lau, but even Lan Xinmei, the big sister in the entertainment industry in Taiwan, also made a cameo appearance in this movie.

Although the head of Andy Lau, who is not the protagonist, is placed in the center of the poster, which is the most conspicuous position, it still failed to save the reputation and box office of the movie.

The Douban score is only 4.8 points, and with Andy Lau printed in the middle of the movie poster, the box office of this movie is now less than 500,000, which is unbelievable.

This shows that everyone is no longer stupid to pay for the king.

Andy Lau, what's wrong?

Andy Lau chose to star in the movie, what's wrong?

Andy Lau chose to star in the movie, what happened to the box office?

From the word-of-mouth box office decline of Hong Kong films in the past year, to Andy Lau's two consecutive defeats of two films in March, one has to think: What went wrong?

The favor must be returned, the face must be given, and the younger generations must also be cared for, but filming should still give priority to creation, first satisfy the audience, and then everyone can be happy.

It must be admitted that actors are sometimes very passive, and there are many uncertainties in creation, but the downturn in continuous works will also make the audience lose confidence.

I hope Andy Lau has a good hand and doesn't play it anymore.
