This film beat the Korean film " Busan trip " and became the highest-grossing film in Hong Kong history. of Asian movies. As the first mecha sci-fi film in Hong Kong,
has an investment of 450 million Hong Kong dollars, and it will take at least 1 billion to make a return. The film was first released in the mainland, and the box office was bleak at the beginning. Later, with the blessing of emotional marketing, the box office gradually increased. As of October 10, the box office of "Tomorrow's War" was 675 million yuan. In addition to the box office in Hong Kong and overseas, it is estimated that the total box office of the film is about 800 million. It is impossible to make money, but at least it will not lose so much.
"Tomorrow's War" in Hong Kong is like a rainbow, of course, it is a gratifying thing. This shows that Hong Kong people highly recognize the film, and it is also the best return for Louis Koo's hard work. After all, these days, there are really not many people like Gu Tianle who are willing to make money and make movies!
Everyone knows that in recent years, Louis Koo's One World Film Company has become the mainstay of the Hong Kong film industry. Behind many Hong Kong films, Gu Tianle can be seen. At the moment when Hong Kong films are gradually declining, Gu Tianle used his own power to make the once glorious Hong Kong films last longer and longer.
Therefore, from an emotional point of view, each of us owes Louis Koo a movie ticket.
However, objectively speaking, "The Battle of Tomorrow" " has valuable feelings, valuable exploration, but the plot is weak" . This film is very popular in Hong Kong, mainly because:
Geographical complex
This year, many Hong Kong films have created box office success in Hong Kong. For example, Gu Tianle also invested in "Fanxi Attack" (the mainland film title "I still think you are the best"), which has broken through 60 million at the box office; More than 30 million box office.
This shows that the audience has begun to show signs of rejuvenation after waiting for Hong Kong films for many years. When
thinks about it carefully, it is not difficult to find what they have in common - , from entertainers to stories, is dominated by the local market and . Except for "Tomorrow's War", the mainland elements have been greatly diluted, while the Hong Kong flavor is relatively strong. Among
, MIRROR members who have emerged in recent years have appeared in several best-selling movies successively. This is undoubtedly a good thing for Hong Kong films that Qinghuang has not accepted for many years.
It's just that Hong Kong is a very small market. Too much emphasis on the local is undoubtedly not conducive to going global. According to
media reports, a movie fan has a record of watching "Tomorrow's War":
35 times
has valuable feelings and sincerity, but after all, it is not a long-term way. Everyone knows that Hong Kong alone cannot support the film industry. The heyday of Hong Kong films in the 1980s and 1990s was supported by the Chinese market in Taiwan and Southeast Asia. In order for Hong Kong films to create greater glories, in the final analysis, they must go out of the country. So, are the Hong Kong films that will rejuvenate at the box office this year?
According to reports, "Grandma has and the second one" has a very poor box office in Taiwan, , Malaysia, , and Singapore. It can almost be described as "there is no such film".
As for "Fan Xi Gongxin", which has been released in the mainland, the cumulative box office has reached nearly 100 million, and the Douban score has also reached 7.6 points. This is a correct demonstration of the future of Hong Kong films - relying on excellent quality and fascinating plots, rather than repeatedly hyping "Hong Kong flavor" cold rice, or consuming a short-lived popularity boom.
Think of the heyday of Hong Kong films in the 1980s and 1990s, which not only swept the Chinese market, but also played invincible players in Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. At that time, no one emphasized whether the movie was "Hong Kong flavor", but it had the magic power to fascinate different markets; at that time, the stars were hard currency in Asia, and they could even enter the international hall. Their vision and territory can be changed from Not limited to Hong Kong eighteen districts !
Therefore, "Tomorrow's War" topped the list of Asian films in Hong Kong. On the one hand, it is gratifying;Movies with international standards are also needed!
