Recently, the movie theater is in full swing, and many people have gone to the movie theater to watch the movies released on May Day.
Although only 6 days have passed since May Day, it seems that the final box office rankings of the movies released on May 1st will still need to wait a few more days to determine.
But in fact, from the evaluation of these movies by netizens, as well as the current box office situation, the movie situation of this year's May Day can basically be determined, who is the winner and who is the loser, in fact, it is already clear at a glance.
Before the May 1st stall started, the outside world had already estimated the box office situation of these movies, and as expected, most netizens believed that the movie "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team" starring Huang Jingyu and Wang Yibo would eventually become the box office champion of the May 1st stall.
Sure enough, judging from the current box office situation, "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team" does sit firmly in the first place, but it is unknown whether it will be surpassed by other movies next.
Of course, there are things we expected, and there are things we didn't expect, the first thing is the box office results of the movie "There is No Thing That Can't Be Solved by a Hot Pot", the film was released for 5 days, and the box office did not exceed 100 million.
You must know that the film is starring Yang Mi and Yu Qian, it stands to reason that the box office results cannot be bad, but the final result is that the film was announced to be urgently withdrawn 5 days after its release.
Secondly, the release result of the movie "Spending Money at the End of the Road" was also unexpected by many people, and the box office performance of the film was quite satisfactory, second only to "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team".
But the film's reputation is not very ideal, and many netizens complained that the plot can't stand scrutiny, it's disorganized, and it's blind to such excellent comedians as Jia Bing and Xiao Shenyang.
Finally, and what surprised us the most, that is, the movie "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" exploded and became the movie with the highest praise rate among netizens.
Before the release of "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City", netizens were almost all not optimistic about the film, and even "sang" the box office of the film early.
The reason is very simple, "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" is a movie with a strong flavor of Hong Kong films, but in recent years, Hong Kong films seem to be still "fried cold rice".
In addition to the cast of the film, in addition to Louis Koo, Ren Xianqi and Aaron Kwok, actors over 50 years old, there is also Sammo Hung, a Hong Kong film veteran.
rushed to this cast, many netizens have predicted that the film will "sell feelings" again, and it will definitely not bring us surprises, but the result is "slap in the face" of almost all netizens.
What we never expected was that although the plot of the film is decent, continuing the brotherhood plot of many classic Hong Kong films, the filming effect of the film has given the audience a lot of surprises.
First of all, it must be said that it is naturally the actor Louis Koo, originally netizens were not optimistic about "The Siege of Kowloon Walled City", a large part of the reason is because of him.
After all, in the hearts of many netizens, Gu Tianle has not had many good works over the years, and his own state is not very good, in some photos that have been leaked on the Internet in recent years, his appearance seems to have changed a lot.
In recent years, Gu Tianle seems to be getting farther and farther away from our impression of Gu Tianle, who can hardly hide his handsomeness even if his complexion turns dark, and his face has obviously collapsed, and he has even been complained by many netizens that he looks like a "Sanxingdui mask".
You must know that the big screen of the cinema will magnify some of the shortcomings of the actors, so many people had a premonition that the "face collapse" of Louis Koo would become one of the flaws of the film before the release of "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City".
What I didn't expect was that in "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City", although his appearance is far from his "peak appearance", it will not affect his perception.
Even many netizens felt that as soon as the "Tornado" played by Louis Koo appeared, only 4 big words appeared in front of their eyes, that is, "domineering side leakage".
Based on this alone, we can see that Louis Koo is definitely online in "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" this time.
However, what surprised us in "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" was far more than Louis Koo alone, as well as Lin Feng's image-free performance.
Lin Feng played "Chen Luojun", he fled to the Kowloon Walled City, in the Kowloon Walled City, he had been living a life without enough food at first.
The first time I ate barbecued pork rice, I even squirted out the rice because it was so delicious, just with this short eating scene, Lin Feng's acting skills don't know how many "fake eating" actors in internal entertainment have been "hanged".
The most important thing is that the action scenes of the film are also very amazing, and it is said that the action scenes invited Donnie Yen's martial arts team and the martial arts director of the movie "Angry Case".
Seeing this, I fully understand why the fight scenes in "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" are so hearty, and it is no wonder that the box office of the film has achieved a "reverse fall" under the endless praise of netizens.
"Reverse fall" means that the box office of "The Siege of Kowloon Walled City" has a rare situation that there are more on the second day than on the first day, and the reason for this situation is naturally inseparable from the spontaneous publicity of netizens.
In the endless praise from netizens, it is not difficult for us to find that they will always mention a person, this person is not "Tornado" played by Louis Koo, nor "Chen Luojun" played by Lin Feng.
is not the "big boss" played by Sammo Hung, but the "Xinyi" played by a "rookie actor" named Liu Junqian, and netizens are attracted by the handsomeness of "Xinyi".
In "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City", "Xinyi" played by Liu Junqian has curly hair, and his handsome appearance makes the audience unable to take their eyes off his appearance.
In the eyes of many netizens, "Xinyi" looks like Huang Zongze when he was young, and the shape of a denim jacket and tie has already made his handsome man come to him, who knows that he also rode a motorcycle.
The most important thing is that Liu Junqian's "Xinyi" also performed well in the film, he was handsome, and he could also play a role, and many netizens who watched the film left messages one after another, originally for Gu Tianle, but he was a fan of Liu Junqian.
Even some netizens have "brushed" "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" three times in order to see "Xinyi" played by Liu Junqian, so it is no wonder that the box office of the film has easily exceeded 300 million, and the box office is still growing.
In fact, seeing this, many netizens bluntly said that "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" can stand out from a number of big-budget movies in the mainland this time, because they bet on the right "rookie actor" Liu Junqian.
Many netizens watched Liu Junqian's performance in "The Siege of Kowloon Walled City", and even invariably changed the stereotype of Hong Kong films, bluntly saying that Hong Kong films still have a future.
However, to our surprise, don't look at Liu Junqian's face as a little unfamiliar, and mistakenly think that he is a newcomer in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, but in fact he is not a newcomer.
Liu Junqian, who was born in 1988, is 36 years old this year, and has debuted in the Hong Kong entertainment industry for more than 10 years.
But it's a pity that 10 years after his debut, Liu Junqian is still tepid, especially for mainland audiences, he is completely a fresh face.
It's no wonder that after Liu Junqian was noticed by mainland netizens this time with the role of "Xinyi" in "The Siege of Kowloon Walled City", basically all netizens seemed to have discovered the "New World".
And many people have the same hunch, that is, Liu Junqian will definitely be praised by Louis Koo next, who called the Hong Kong entertainment industry finally appeared such a hot actor.
And the reason why netizens gave the important task of making Liu Junqian popular to Louis Koo without hesitation is naturally because he has always been a senior in the Hong Kong circle who is very willing to cultivate newcomers.
The most important thing is that Louis Koo's status in the Hong Kong entertainment industry now far exceeds that of many seniors in the entertainment industry who are older than him, and he is now not only the president of the Hong Kong Performing Artists Association, but also has his own film and television company.
In 2023, the Emperor Film Tour is star-studded, and just a group photo is enough for us to see Louis Koo's current status in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
I saw that he was not only standing in the first row, but also not far from the emperor's boss Yang Shoucheng, and his treatment was really no less than that of Jackie Chan on the other side.
You must know that Andy Lau, who debuted longer than Louis Koo, and Tony Leung, who won the actor "softly", only stood in the second row.
With this photo, Louis Koo's status in the Hong Kong entertainment industry is needless to say, and he has the right to speak properly, Hong Kong actor Lin Xue also revealed that he said that those seniors in the Hong Kong actor circle, they are all very convinced by Louis Koo.
This is not only because Louis Koo is the president of the Entertainers Association, and he is often charitable on weekdays, but also because as the president, he has never missed any of his peers in the entertainment industry, and often takes out real money to help them.
And this is also why, even though Louis Koo, who is now 53 years old, is often complained that he is the "king of bad movies", and in recent years, many netizens have complained about his "collapsed face", but he still insists on filming.
Two years ago, when Yu Wenle and Wu Yanzu reunited to chat, the two of them talked about Gu Tianle, and bluntly said that the reason why Gu Tianle didn't dare to stop was because he was burdened with many people's wages.
Among them, there are retired seniors in the entertainment industry, and there are many juniors in the entertainment industry like Liu Junqian, who are waiting to make movies.
You must know that Louis Koo is not only an actor now, he is also an investor in Hong Kong films, and it is with his financial support that many Hong Kong films can start filming smoothly.
It is precisely because of this that a newcomer like Liu Junqian has the opportunity to be noticed by more and more audiences, so this time Liu Junqian became popular with "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City", and many netizens put the heavy responsibility of supporting Liu Junqian into the hands of Louis Koo.
In fact, netizens who pay attention to Louis Koo should know that he has already crossed paths with Liu Junqian, and it has long been helpful to his acting career.
In 2021, Liu Junqian participated in the movie "Anita Mui", in which he played "Leslie Cheung", because the actors who starred in the film are basically newcomers, including Wang Danni who played "Anita Mui".
This means that this movie, which is not favored by the outside world, must be blessed by well-known actors, so that fans will be willing to enter the cinema to support this movie.
So, in this movie, we saw Louis Koo, who played Anita Mui's friend, the famous costume designer "Liu Peiji".
At the beginning, many people watched the movie "Anita Mui", and they really watched it for Louis Koo, after all, everyone knew that he worked hard to film in order to save the withering Hong Kong film market.
It is precisely because of Louis Koo's joining that the movie "Anita Mui" can attract so much attention, and Liu Junqian was able to be noticed by mainland audiences, but he did not become popular because of this.
Fortunately, with this film, Liu Junqian has been noticed by more and more directors, and because of this, he is in the upcoming movies "Cold War 1994" and "Cold War 1995", as well as the movie "Redemption of Dreams" directed by Zhang Jiahui.
Liu Junqian in "The Siege of Kowloon Walled City" let us see the successors of Hong Kong films, and also reminded many people of Louis Koo's early experience.
You must know that at the beginning of Louis Koo's debut, as an unknown newcomer, even if he looked so amazing, he still couldn't escape the tepid fate, because he had no chance of becoming famous at all.
In 1994, when Leslie Cheung was participating in a talk show, when he was asked about the successor, he took the initiative to mention Louis Koo, who was still "little transparent".
It is said that he can play the role of "Yang Guo" in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", thanks to Leslie Cheung's optimism about him.
The next story, we are also very familiar with, after "The Condor Heroes", Louis Koo gradually became popular, and became the mainstay of the Hong Kong film industry, and even many netizens felt that he was "the last superstar in Hong Kong".
In fact, through Louis Koo's fame experience, we can understand that Louis Koo himself should understand very well that newcomer actors need to be promoted, which is why he established a company and signed many newcomers.
However, he has worked hard for so many years, but he still hasn't met a newcomer who can carry the future of Hong Kong films, but fortunately, Liu Junqian's explosion this time made him finally see hope.
Although Liu Junqian is not very young, he is always much younger than Louis Koo, Lin Feng, and Nicholas Tse, so this time Liu Junqian's explosion made many netizens feel that Louis Koo is going to support him next.
Louis Koo does have the strength in this area, as long as he invests in a few more movies for Liu Junqian to play, seeing this, many netizens have definitely begun to look forward to future Hong Kong films.
This is also what Louis Koo wants to see the most, as a senior in the Hong Kong circle, as an actor who has been promoted by Leslie Cheung, and as the president of the Hong Kong Performing Artists Association.
Behind these identities, they all remind him to work hard to support newcomers, hoping that "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" can really become a turning point for Hong Kong films!
