The final box office of "Hot and Hot" stayed at 3.45 billion!
Although it is not as good as Jia Ling's last movie "Hello, Li Huanying", such box office data has exceeded the expectations of many netizens!
The reason is very simple: whether it is the plot, the cast, or the values conveyed by the whole movie, it is not a masterpiece, and it is incredible that such a work will become the box office champion of the Spring Festival stalls in 2024!
Regarding the success of "Hot and Hot", many netizens think that it is the crazy hype of Jia Ling's team that "tricked" the audience into the cinema!
Before, during, and after the release of this movie, we can see reports related to it, especially about Jia Ling losing 100 pounds!
If it is too much, when the intensity of propaganda is beyond the tolerance of the public, they will gag and even boycott!
The question is, the quality of "Hot and Hot" itself is not good, and the hype is disgusting, why can Jia Ling still earn 3.5 billion?
All this has to start with Feng Xiaogang's "garbage audience" remarks!
At a film symposium a few years ago, Feng Xiaogang talked about the endless chaos of junk movies
In the eyes of the audience, there are many garbage movies because the producers and directors are not good, and there is something wrong with their aesthetics
But in Feng Xiaogang's view, the fundamental reason why there are many garbage movies is that they get a high box office, driven by interests, more people will make garbage movies, why can garbage movies get a high box office? is because there are too many garbage audiences!
After Director Feng's remarks came out, he immediately ushered in the verbal criticism of many netizens, in their opinion, Feng Xiaogang was throwing the blame on the director and putting the responsibility of the director on the fans!
But with the frequent high box office of Shen Teng and Jia Ling's movies, we gradually realized: Director Feng's point of view is right!
In the past ten years, who has the highest box office? Obviously, it is not Jia Ling, let alone Lei Jiayin, but Shen Teng!
Happy Twist has made a lot of money with Shen Teng, and the total box office of the movies the latter has exceeded 40 billion, making him the highest-grossing comedian in China
But when it comes to Shen Teng, what works do you think of? Is it only "Charlotte's Troubles"?
The movies starring Shen Teng are still of acceptable quality, above the passing line, but what about the movies he made cameos? They are basically bad movies, such as "The Sun Never Sets Hotel", "Warm Embrace", "Li Cha's Aunt", "Super Family" and so on!
Don't watch the poor quality of the movie, but it basically makes the investor make money!
In terms of Jia Ling, "Hello Li Huanying" was ridiculed as an "extended version of the sketch", and "Hot and Hot" was ridiculed as a "weight loss film", but the two movies together got a box office of more than 8 billion, setting a record!
With the development of the times, the aesthetic level of movie fans should be higher and higher, why is it so tolerant of garbage movies?
One episode of "Round Table Pie" invited Wang Jing, a famous director from Hong Kong, China
Host Dou Wentao said: In China, being able to make people laugh is a first-class ability!
Wang Jing added: Not only China, but the whole world!
The implication is: as long as your movie is a comedy and can make people laugh, you can make money!
Whether it's Shen Teng or Jia Ling, they make a living by laughing at the audience, and it's not difficult to add some funny scenes to their film and television dramas!
For Chinese audiences, comedy is their favorite movie theme, and it has reached the point of "taking it all in"!
Therefore, as long as the publicity of "Hot and Hot" is in place, it is a high probability event to find a suitable schedule to be released, and make money!
Just like the real estate market in 2016, you can make money by buying a house at will!
As for when the "cold winter" of comedians will come, we will wait and see!
