However, there will always be exceptions that are unexpected.
In late May, "Aladdin" was released simultaneously in China and the United States. Although domestic audiences were not very interested in Disney real-life fairy tale movies, the domestic box office was only 367 million yuan, but "Aladdin" was madly sought after by movie fans all over the world. Rushing to $1.05 billion (approximately RMB 7.4 billion) in the global box office, becoming the sixth largest box office in the world in 2019, followed by "Joker", "Quick Gaiden" and "Frozen 2" , "Nezha", "The Wandering Earth", "How to Train Your Dragon 3", etc.
A film has a box office of 1 billion U.S. dollars. Such an achievement is difficult for many Hollywood first-line stars, not to mention the starring Mena Massoud and Naomi Scott compared to Hollywood A-level productions. It is equivalent to being a newcomer. It can be said that he was lucky enough to seize this opportunity. In the eyes of many people,
can win over $1 billion in the box office for the first time acting in a Hollywood A-level blockbuster. It should quickly become the darling of the market and the sweet pastry in the eyes of investors, but the experience of Mena Massoud It's surprising.
A few days ago, Mena Massoud, who played the actor "Aladdin" in "Aladdin", was interviewed and talked about the changes in the six months since the movie "Aladdin" was released-that is, no change.
Mena explained helplessly: “I’m tired of being silent all the time. I want everyone to know that after I finished "Aladdin," I didn’t always get flowers and applause.’ He must have made millions, He must have got a lot of film deals... "None of these. Since "Aladdin", I haven't received even one audition opportunity." The fact that
really surprised movie fans for a while, one billion box office movies The male protagonist has not had a contract for half a year, and this great success has not brought any qualitative changes to his career.
Netizens have different opinions on this matter. Some people did express their regrets to Mena: the image and acting skills are also good. After starring in "Aladdin", they are also familiar with the world. This should be It is said that Yingjing has a great advantage, but the six-month appointments are indeed a bit unclear.
and some netizens said it was normal, because many viewers watched "Aladdin", most of them were directed at the magic lamp played by Will Smith and Princess Jasmine played by Naomi Scott. Will Smith is in charge of playing treasures and Naomi is in charge of beauty. This is the highlight of "Aladdin", and Aladdin, played by Mayner, is really not a highlight.
Speaking of, there were no successful examples that should have been "popular" in the past. We have seen a lot of them over the years. Take Stephen Chow's movies as an example. The female starring appeared in Stephen Chow's movies since the 1990s, Everyone will be popular, and since Stephen Chow participated in the work of the director, the female protagonists he chose have come to the fore. In the early years, Cecilia Cheung, etc., in recent years, Zhang Yuqi, Lin Yun, etc., are without exception.
However, E Jingwen of "The New King of Comedy" broke this rule. Although it is embarrassing, she has to admit that she is still tepid and tepid when she acted in Stephen Chow's movie and became a star girl. This is indeed a lot of people. Unexpectedly.
