In the film industry, many superstars miss the golden time to make a lot of money, such as Jet Li is one of them. Although he earned enough money in Hollywood, compared with the rise of the mainland market and the explosion of the box office, the money he earned before can be described as a small witch. Jackie Chan has been in the film circle for decades, and after he came to the mainland to shoot a drama, he admitted that the current money is too good to earn, and the money collected for a play is topped by more than a dozen films before. It is a pity that one of the actresses is yang ziqiong, an action superstar, she is the "first sister" of the Chinese film industry, but she has not made money in China.
Young movie fans may not have heard of Yang Ziqiong now, but people who like Hong Kong films must have seen her movies. Although Yang Ziqiong is a woman, her film status is on a par with male action superstars such as Jackie Chan and Jet Li. When she was brilliant, she was on an equal footing with "Double J", and at that time, Zhen Zidan could only play the second and third leaders when she cooperated with her. In the mainland, this actress has also created a box office glory, such as this "Legend of The Heavenly Pulse" 18 years ago, which was very sensational, and the box office of the film that year also entered the top ten, ranking 7th in the year.
"Legend of Tianmai" is directed by Bao Dexi and starring Yang Ziqiong, Ben Chaplin, Richard Rousburg, Zhang Zhuonan and so on. The film tells the story of a relic left by a tibetan monk seven hundred years ago, which caused a series of battles and defenses. This kind of genre is actually not very good at selling at the box office, because many people have filmed it before, but the final results are average. Fortunately, the heroine of this film has a strong appeal, so even if the theme is not a hot genre, it has also achieved success in the domestic market.
In 2002, it was too difficult to collect the box office, because the mainland market had not yet risen, and we did not have any box office concept at that time. "Legend of Tianmai" is a blockbuster film that focuses on internationalization, and the filmmakers have high expectations for this film, and in many markets, it has indeed not disappointed investors. For example, in the mainland, it sold 26 million yuan, ranking 7th in the year, and 18 years ago, this achievement was already among the top in the industry, and this movie is also the most sensational yang Ziqiong has created in China.
Further back, Yang Ziqiong's domestic achievements are also very brilliant, such as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in 2000, which sold 15 million yuan and ranked 14th in the year. "Legend of Tianmai" doubled its box office, and Yang Ziqiong was truly worthy of being the "first sister" of the Chinese film industry at that time. This movie has performed well in Europe and the United States and other markets, although the box office is average, but the disc income is quite hot, which is the signature influence of the older generation of superstars.
Yang Ziqiong's career focus is not on the mainland, which has led to many young domestic film fans not knowing her. In fact, this is also no way, because the mainland market in the early years has not been the center of Chinese films, hong Kong films did not fall behind the Chinese people to rush to the Hollywood stage, at that time to the mainland filming is also mainly Hong Kong stars. Mainland artists can stand out by the rise of the market, and the luckiest ones are undoubtedly Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang, Huang Bo and others. In 2012, a "Tai 囧" detonated the mainland box office market, and since then, mainland stars have gradually gained the opportunity to take the initiative.
Yang Ziqiong also made some films in the mainland, but at that time, the market had not yet risen, so the box office results were average. For example, the quality of the "Sword Rain" film is very good, but it is not a hit, if it is put at least 1.5 billion at the current box office, right? And "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2" also received only 256 million at the box office, and when it was launched, the costume films were outdated. Yang Ziqiong is too pity, her peak luck is not as good as Jackie Chan Zhou Runfa Zhou Xingchi and other superstars, now the market is very good, but now she is retired and faded out of the film world.
