In this May Day file, the smell of gunpowder in the film market is really getting stronger and stronger. Everyone squeezed their heads to make a profit in this five-day holiday, but ah, there was a movie that surprised everyone, that is, "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" starring Louis Koo. The advance box office is only 180,000, which is simply faster than summer ice cream!
Think about it, Louis Koo, the "big man" in the Hong Kong film industry, used to make a popular film, and the box office appeal was not covered. But in the past few years, his movies have been one after another, but the word-of-mouth and box office don't seem to be very good. From "Dynasty Warriors" to "Anti-Corruption Storm 5", to "Tomorrow's War" and "Anti-Drug 3", it feels like he is going downhill, and the more he shoots, the more disappointing it becomes. This time, "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" invested a full 200 million, and I thought that I could make a beautiful turnaround, but now it seems that this turnaround battle is really a bit embarrassing.
To tell the truth, there are many big names in this movie, Louis Koo, Sammo Hung, and Ren Xianqi, which one is not a well-known name? Director Zheng Baorui is also a big name in the Hong Kong film industry, so it is said that such a combination will not be far behind, right? Why is the pre-sale box office so bleak? Is it true that the audience's feelings for Hong Kong films have faded?
Speaking of Hong Kong films, it has accompanied the growth of our generation after generation. Think about it back then, which of those classic Hong Kong films didn't make people's blood boil and tears? But now, Hong Kong films seem to be more and more difficult to touch our heartstrings. Is the audience changing, or is there something wrong with the Hong Kong film itself?
In this May Day file, in addition to "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City", there are actually many other good-looking domestic movies. There are blood-boiling war movies, comedies that make people laugh, and those mystery films that are full of suspense and excitement. These movies are all trying to compete for the audience's eyeballs and box office, and each one wants to become the box office dark horse of this May 1st stall.
However, Louis Koo and his "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" don't seem to take much advantage. The pressure they face is not small, there are wolves in front of them and tigers in the back, and it is not easy to succeed in counterattacking. But then again, the competition in the film market is so cruel that no one can guarantee that they will have the last laugh.
So, can this "Siege of the Kowloon Walled City," which has invested 200 million yuan, succeed in its counterattack on May Day? Can Louis Koo regain the audience's love and trust with this movie? All these are unknowns, and they are also the issues that everyone is most concerned about.
To be honest, I'm looking forward to this movie. After all, there are so many big-name actors and powerful directors joining, it shouldn't be too bad, right? But the dismal pre-sale box office makes me feel a little drummed, after all, the audience's eyes are bright, and they will not blindly buy tickets because of the fame of the actor or the status of the director.
So, for "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City", this May Day file is undoubtedly a huge test. They need to prove their strength and value with practical actions, and use the quality and reputation of the movie to touch the hearts of the audience. Only then will they be able to stand out in this competitive market and emerge as the ultimate winners.
And for us audiences, this May Day will also be a moment full of surprises and touches. We can expect those excellent domestic films to bring us endless joy and touching, and we can also look forward to those old stars and new directors to bring us new surprises and breakthroughs.
In short, this May Day is destined to be a moment full of variables and possibilities. Who will be the final box office dark horse? Who will win the love and recognition of the audience? All these are unknowns, and they are also the questions that everyone is most looking forward to. Let's wait and see what kind of surprises and touches this May Day file will bring us!
Of course, movies sometimes have to rely on word-of-mouth and audience popularity. Although Louis Koo has made a lot of movies in recent years, the quality is indeed uneven. Sometimes, actors have to pick the script well, don't take any film, otherwise it is really easy to lose the audience's popularity. This time "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City", to be honest, the plot and theme are quite attractive, but why is the pre-sale so poor?
I think it's probably because the audience is getting more and more picky now. Everyone watches movies, not only to see stars, but also to pay more attention to the story and connotation. If the movie itself has no highlights, or the plot is old-fashioned and lacks novelty, then the audience is naturally unwilling to pay for it.
But then again, movies sometimes depend on fate. Sometimes no matter how good a movie is, the audience just doesn't buy it, and sometimes a movie is scolded by everyone to the point where it is incomplete, but the box office can counterattack. Therefore, no one dares to say that "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" will definitely fail, or it will definitely succeed.
In general, this May Day film market is really lively. There are movies of all genres, and all kinds of stars are desperately promoting. As for which movie can have the last laugh and which movie can become a dark horse, it depends on the audience's choice and the market's reaction.
And for Louis Koo and "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City", this May Day file is undoubtedly a huge challenge and opportunity. Whether they can seize this opportunity and use the quality and reputation of the movie to move the hearts of the audience depends on their own performance.
As an audience, let's enjoy this May Day movie feast! See which movie can surprise and move us, and see which movie can become the dark horse in our hearts. After all, watching a movie,
