In today's entertainment market, the competition for the box office is becoming more and more fierce, especially when Hollywood blockbusters compete with domestic films. During the summer vacation of 2024, a high-profile Hollywood disaster film "Tornado" and Shen Teng's new work "Catching a Doll" will be released almost at the same time, but the market performance of the two is very different. In this article, we will explore the reasons behind this phenomenon and analyze the audience's expectations and preferences for film content.
Hollywood blockbusters failed at the box office
"Tornado", a Hollywood blockbuster costing up to $155 million, only 1.68 million yuan at the box office on the first day, is in stark contrast to the hot box office of Shen Teng's new work "Catching the Doll". This phenomenon makes one wonder if Hollywood blockbusters have lost their appeal in the Chinese market.
The lack of plot and character building
As a remake, "Tornado" has a plot similar to the 1966 film of the same name, lacking innovation. In the movie, the heroine, Kate, as a scientist with a passion for storms, joins adventure influencer Taylor to meet the challenge of a tornado. Although the special effects are well-made, the lack of plot advancement, character building, and emotional expression makes it difficult for the audience to resonate.
An imbalance between the special effects and the content
While pursuing visual stunning, Tornado ignores the depth of the story. While the audience is enjoying the visual feast brought by the special effects, it is difficult to be attracted by the empty storyline. This creative tendency of "emphasizing form over content" has become one of the important reasons for the film's box office failure.
Changes in the tastes of domestic audiences
At the same time, domestic comedies such as Shen Teng and Ma Li's works are becoming more and more popular in the domestic market. These works have won the love of the audience with their close-to-life, humorous and witty style. The success of "Catching the Doll" is not only reflected in the box office, but also in the fact that it meets the audience's demand for a relaxed and enjoyable viewing experience.
Feedback from movie review sites
On domestic film review websites such as Douban, "Tornado" has encountered an unprecedented wave of bad reviews. Netizens generally believe that although the special effects are excellent, the plot is old-fashioned, the characters are thin, and the rhythm drags on, which cannot attract their attention. This negative review further affected the film's market performance.
Summarize and think
The box office failure of "Tornado" reflects the gradual loss of Hollywood blockbusters in the Chinese market. At the same time, domestic films, especially comedies, are more in line with the aesthetic and viewing needs of Chinese people. Filmmakers should learn from this phenomenon and pay more attention to the depth and innovation of plot content to meet the tastes of increasingly discerning audiences.
For the film industry, this is a reminder that the value of artistic creation should not be overlooked while pursuing commercial interests. Only by combining the content of the story with the visual effects can you really win the hearts of the audience. For the audience, when choosing a movie, they should also pay more attention to the internal quality of the work, not just the external publicity and packaging.
In the future market competition, whether it is a Hollywood blockbuster or a domestic film, it should take high-quality content as its core competitiveness to meet the growing cultural needs of the audience. Only in this way can the film industry continue to develop healthily and bring more excellent works to the audience.
