Don't underestimate the 44-year-old Deng Chao, his recent fall is not simple, and it may be a mirror in the entertainment industry. On February 17, the movie "Chinese Ping Pong" was released, although the box office failed to exceed 100 million, it has already indicated that it will hit the 150 million mark. All this was not so smooth sailing for Deng Chao.
It is said that the box office expectation of this film has been raised to 150 million. This number in itself is a signal that the audience is looking forward to the work, and they are seeing more than just the surface story of the film, but something deeper.
The film is like a rocking boat that struggles to navigate a profitable sea, but ultimately fails to reach the other side. Deng Chao's own investment in this film looked like a big gamble, but the result was not satisfactory.
It has experienced the torture of many withdrawals and rescheduling, and had to withdraw gloomily during the Spring Festival, which should have been the prime time of the movie. Even so, Deng Chao and director Yu Baimei did not give up. They still stick to their artistic path and continue to move forward.
Theaters are not enthusiastic about the film's scheduling, and it is often only screened during unpopular hours. This obviously affected the box office performance of the film, with a sparse audience and a dismal box office, far from achieving the desired effect.
Deng Chao's fall is not only his personal loss, but also reflects the helplessness in the depths of the film industry. In this impetuous era, good works may not be recognized and rewarded as they deserve.
The story of "Chinese Ping Pong", like Deng Chao's own story, is a story of perseverance and courage. In the movie, the athletes constantly train and compete for the sake of national glory and personal dreams, they experience failure, but never give up.
In order to restore the professional movements of table tennis players, Deng Chao and the crew members conducted long-term professional training. They not only have to learn the technique of table tennis, but also understand the mentality and life of the athletes.
When everything was ready and the movie was finally going to meet the audience, it encountered difficulties in scheduling the film. If there is not enough film scheduling, it means that there is not enough audience, and without audience, there will be no box office, which forms a vicious circle.
The movie was finally released, and although it was given a cold reception, some viewers were moved by the movie. They shared their feelings about watching the movie online, and they believe that this movie is not only about table tennis, but also about life. The scenes of hard work in the movie let them see their shadows.
