This year’s New Year’s Eve show in mainland China is really exciting, including “Stealth” co-starring Andy Lau and Lam Jiadong, “Goldfinger” starring Andy Lau and Tony Leung, and “Twinkle, Twinkle,” which has a pre-sale box office of over 300 million yuan. "Stars", "The Annual Party Can't Stop" starring Dapeng and Baike, and "If You Are the One 3" directed by director Feng Xiaogang are all favorites to win this year's New Year's Eve schedule.
Among the top favorites, only "If You Are the One 3" directed by Feng Xiaogang is a sequel. It is the film directed by Feng Xiaogang again after four years. It is also the film that Director Feng Xiaogang has once again entered the Lunar New Year schedule after more than ten years. Carefully crafted.
"If You Are the One 3" has two predecessors, both starring Ge You and Shu Qi. The first film in the series was released during the Lunar New Year in 2008. It grossed a total of 260 million yuan in box office, second only to "Red Cliff" and ranked second in the annual box office. The second part of the series was released during the Lunar New Year in 2010, with a cumulative box office of nearly 500 million yuan, ranking fourth in the annual box office list.
Now thirteen years have passed, and the third film in the series is finally going to meet the audience. The director is still Feng Xiaogang, and the starring roles are Shu Qi and Ge You. In addition, there are Fan Wei, Yao Chen, Li Chengru, Yue Yunpeng, Zhang Hanyu and Wang Baoqiang. Many well-known actors have joined the cast. With the influence of the two previous films, coupled with such a strong cast, "If You Are the One 3" should indeed be worthy of the audience's expectations, and it should indeed create a very impressive box office performance.
As one of the leading actors in this film, Li Chengru said in an interview that when he first received the script of this film, he predicted that its box office would reach more than 2 billion yuan. During the filming, he felt that the box office of 2 billion yuan would reach 2 billion yuan. It is not as high as this film, so it is expected that its highest box office will be at least 3.5 billion yuan.
In the history of Lunar New Year movies in mainland China, there is only one film with a box office that has exceeded 2 billion yuan. This movie is the DC superhero blockbuster "Aquaman", which was released in the Lunar New Year period in 2018.
It is really difficult for the total box office of "If You Are the One 3" to reach or even exceed 3.5 billion yuan, because the current Lunar New Year schedule is no longer Feng Xiaogang's "world", especially the current overall performance of this movie The response wasn't very good either.
Thirteen years have passed, and the leading actors in the "If You Are the One" series are all over fifty. For example, Ge You is now 66 years old. And letting an old man who is close to 70 years old play the leading role in a romantic movie will more or less make people feel that it is a bit of a drama.
Also, after watching the trailer released before the film, I feel that the quality of this film is not very good. The overall tone is like a green screen, and the laughs are awkward. The most important thing is that this film also has science fiction elements, which makes it look nondescript. So the audience thinks that it is definitely not as good as the two previous films.
Let alone RMB 3.5 billion at the box office, RMB 500 million may be a hurdle. The current works directed by Feng Xiaogang do not have the strength to create a box office of 3.5 billion yuan.
