, as a domestic movie, has been attracting attention in the "Two Tigers" released on November 29. The male lead is China’s first Cannes actor and Ge You, who can be called the mainland’s national treasure-level comedy master. The female lead is the first to star in a movie many years later. Actress Zhao Wei, together with the joining of many powerful comedians such as Qiao Shan, Yan Ni, Fan Wei, Pan Dalong, etc., also let netizens once called this film the most promising "dark horse comedy of the year".
In addition, in terms of breaking the circle, in order to attract young audiences, the film also released "Two Tigers" sung by super popular star Xiao Zhan in early November. When the MV
was released, because the lyrics were so magical, it really helped the new show attract a lot of fans. Many netizens said that it was because Xiao Zhan sang two tigers that they paid attention to the movie "Two Tigers"!
As the producer of the film and television, Zhao Wei also publicly stated that Xiao Zhan is indeed "a very hot actor and singer at the moment" and he also has a strong appeal. The reason why
invited him is also to attract more young people. I have to say that Zhao Wei is indeed very visionary!
But unfortunately, excellent old drama bones + well-known first-line actresses + golden comedy supporting roles + hot flow artists, such an impeccable lineup, ultimately failed to save the box office dilemma! "Two Tigers" was released for 11 days, and the box office barely exceeded 200 million!
and the movie rating is extremely bleak, 6.2 points, just past the passing line.
So, where is the problem?
Speaking of this, you might as well mention Su Youpeng first. In fact, as an old friend of Zhao Wei for many years, Su Youpeng's development trajectory is very similar to Zhao Wei. Both of them slowly transitioned from actors to directors, but the time difference is a little bit different.
For example, after Zhao Wei proved her director's talent through Virgo's "To Youth", many years later, the Virgo "Left Ear" directed by Su Youpeng also became popular. However, in the same year, Zhao Wei's "Hong Kong 囧" also appeared in the same year. .
finally ended with a box office of 1.614 billion in "Hong Kong 囧", while "Left Ear" was only 485 million, but in the end Su Youpeng was nominated for the best new director, and Ma Sichun was nominated for the best actress in the Golden Horse Award! The nomination of
is recognition. For Su Youpeng's first attempt to direct a work, it is not easy to have such an achievement!
But since 2015, in the past 4 years, Su Youyou has directed a "Suspect X's Devotion", except for occasional participation in variety shows, there has been no new work.
And "Devotion of Suspect X" ended up with only 402 million box office, not as good as the first "Left Ear" of 485 million! In fact,
only talks about the works, whether it is "Left Ear" or "Suspect X's Devotion", the influence of the original work and the audience's response after the filming started are mostly praised. Especially Zhang Luyi's acting skills have been crazy fans!
So, in other words, instead of asking why Zhao Wei's film is not at the box office, it is better to ask why Su Youpeng, who is constantly on his feet, stopped at this time? On this point, Su Youpeng himself has already given the answer↓
Recently, the 77th American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards were announced. Among them, the 6 nominations for "Marriage Story" made Su Youpeng, who has always loved movies, started to see the commotion again.
Su Youpeng also specially posted that "As soon as I see an exciting movie, I want to direct one by myself..." The tone of
can't help making netizens mistakenly believe that Su Youpeng has any big moves recently?
Fans who look forward to Su Youpeng's appearance as the hero in the comment area are also there! Some fans of
stood up straight to the end, saying "just do it if you want", but Su Youpeng replied with 8 characters "the market is not good, proceed with caution"! Although the eight characters
are simple, they can be said to expose the status quo of the entire film and television industry. After all, after the experience of "Shanghai Fortress" starring Lu Han in the middle of the year, the market feedback has shown that it has already passed. In the era of recognizing traffic, of course, although Su Youpeng did not name Zhao Wei, this also reflects the main reason for the bleak box office of "Two Tigers"!
This is like a bull market fool who makes money, but it’s hard to say when it comes to a bear market. Even the most outstanding work may be on the street.
Of course, Zhao Wei’s new drama is not onlyDue to the downturn in the market, there are indeed deficiencies in the content of the script. It is reported that the prototype of the script was that the director was drunk, and suddenly came out the next day. Later, director Li Fei called Zhao Wei, Zhao Wei found Qiao Shan again, so she put together a table, and the movie was talked about at the dinner table!
can hardly know that a script that cannot withstand scrutiny is like a "castle in the sky". Even if the actors are good, it is difficult to make up for the loopholes and deficiencies of the script. In a bad script, the better the actors perform, the more regrettable they are. !
Moreover, as of the end of November, the current total box office in the Mainland was only 3.474 billion yuan, a year-on-year drop of 262 million, a drop of 7%, and this kind of achievement is actually the same as "Nezha" and "Wandering Earth" in the film market this year. "Avenger 4" was produced in the case of the three super hot models.
It can be seen that in the movie market in 2019, the follow-up in the second half of the year is not only weak, it can even be said that there has been a serious fault! In this faulty situation, the quality of the film is obviously more important.
