In this year's summer cinema films, two blockbusters that broke 1 billion have been born.
One is the anti-epidemic drama "Chinese Doctor", and the other is the Hong Kong police film "Anger And Serious Case". The two films are a qualified theatrical blockbuster in terms of visual effects, dubbing sound effects and actor acting skills. Of course, there are some other types of works in theatrical films, which are also excellent.
However, among the more than 60 movies in this year's summer program, there is no shortage of bad films that are abusive. Today, the movie introduced by Xiao Guohu and everyone is a completely bad movie. The movie is called "Happy Affair".
The story tells the story of a funny comedic event in which several social figures from different sources compete for a valuable diamond ring in the course of the anti-gang crime campaign. These social figures mainly include, the former jianghu big brother Lin Chaoren (played by Liu Hua), the company's chairman Xu Jiang (played by Li Zixiong) and Yang Yiming (played by Yang Haoyu) on the underworld.
At first glance, isn't this a reproduction of the movie plot of Crazy Stone? The plot of the movie is almost exactly the same as the movie starring Huang Bo, Xu Zheng, Guo Tao and others fifteen years ago. And the most crucial thing is that Liu Hua in this "Happy Event of jianghu" is the actor himself who once played Dao Ge in the "Crazy Stone" movie.
After fifteen years, Liu Hua played the same role again, what was the effect after the film was released? Starting from the 106,000 box office on the opening day, this "Happy Event" has been falling every day, and by the seventh day of release, the single-day box office has fallen below 10,000, only 8,083 yuan, and by the eighth day of release, the box office has shrunk to 177 yuan. In the eight days of release, the box office received a total of 422,000, which can be said to be unbearable.
Even if the box office falls, word of mouth, it has achieved a second rollover. Many netizens who have seen the movie have given the movie a low score of one star. Some people say that watching this movie is a waste of time; others say that li Zixiong's old drama bones have also begun to pick up bad movies? Some people also said that only one star was given to the old actors in the movie; some more excited netizens said that this movie is a "garbage movie".
There is no doubt that this "Happy Event" has both hit the street in terms of box office and word of mouth. And Liu Hua, the lead actor in the movie, did not fry the cold rice this time, but the more it was fried, the cooler it became. Throughout Liu Hua's debut years of acting career, he has made no less than dozens of films, but why is he getting cooler and cooler?
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > made seven movies in a row in five years, with a minimum box office of only 640 yuan</h1>
Since 2016, in the past five years, among the films he has played a relatively large number of roles, the highest-grossing films are "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" with 484 million, "Raptors Across the River" with 204 million and "Crazy Aliens" with 2.214 billion. Among all the films that have grossed more than 100 million yuan, such as "I am not Pan Jinlian" directed by Feng Xiaogang, "Raptor Across the River" Starring Xiao Shenyang, Song Xiaobao and others, these films either have big-name directors or well-known stars. Once these well-known actors and directors are left, Liu Hua's works have a cliff-like box office decline.
Among the lower-grossing films he starred in, "Killing Melon", released in 2017, had the lowest box office, only 640 yuan; then "Three Twins" only had a box office of 150,000 yuan; then "Snowstorm" with a box office of 28.203 million, and finally "Lobster Cop" with a box office of 68.788 million. Ironically, after many years, in 2019's "Crazy Alien", he and Huang Bo collaborated again, winning the highest box office of his career film, 2.214 billion.
Therefore, some people say that after leaving a big-name star like Huang Bo and losing Huang Bo's aura, Liu Hua alone cannot support a theatrical movie. Judging from the films that Liu Hua has made, it seems to conform to this law.
But the current situation of a supporting actor like Liu Hua actually secretly reveals the cruel truth of the entertainment industry.
No actor in the entertainment industry is willing to be a supporting role in a movie. Everyone wants to grab the male number one and the female number one, and even often produces the behavior of "tearing the position", which shows the importance of the position for an actor. Huang Bo and Liu Hua, who came out of "Crazy Stone", are actually a protagonist and a supporting role.
In 2006, Liu Hua was well known to the audience because of the role of Dao Ge in "Crazy Stone". But unfortunately, this movie has won huang bo, Xu Zheng and Guo Tao and other people, but it has not won liu hua. After that, although Liu Hua had some fame and made a lot of movies, none of them could make him fire.
Huang Bo has experienced these 15 years of development, from a dirty sewer thief to a 10 billion box office movie emperor. And Liu Hua, who plays a supporting role, has developed for so many years and made dozens of movies, but has not improved. It wasn't until "Crazy Alien" worked with Huang Bo again that he won the highest box office record of his career.
Although Liu Hua strives to be the protagonist, the reality is cruel. Although his acting skills are very good, his starring role is generally unable to support the whole movie, and most of his roles belong to a genre and do not have much breakthrough, so the box office and word of mouth are easy to hit the street.
As an actor, if the role is too single, it will be limited by the role. Participating in the same type of role for a long time, although it can increase the impression of the audience, it often makes the actor lose creativity. Losing creativity, for an actor, loses the competitiveness of the industry. And once the competitiveness of the industry is lost, then the actor's film will lose both box office appeal and popularity. This is also the difference between Huang Bo and Liu Hua's development to today.
Xiao Guohu believes that an actor like Liu Hua can not have to struggle for the protagonist's position. It is better to learn from Uncle Da, cooperate with Zhou Xingchi to act for decades, although he has been playing a supporting role, he has also been recognized by many audiences, leaving a good reputation and influence in the industry. For example, ma Li and Shen Teng's "Shen Ma combination" is also a very strong comedy CP; there is also a comedy CP like Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang in "Tai 囧", which is also very emotional. Liu Hua can find a big coffee like Huang Bo to continue to cooperate in CP, I believe that such a comedy CP can bring wonderful works to the audience!
Well, today the small fruit shell will be shared with you here. I don't know what everyone thinks of Liu Hua? Feel free to leave a comment below and discuss it with me!
