in "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop!" 24 days after its release, it still topped the single-day box office list. I have to say that Dapeng is still the biggest winner!
is only one step away from the 1 billion mark.
For Dapeng, this is his second film to hit 1 billion. When he was a guest in Fan Deng's live broadcast room earlier, he was still choking and crying because he was scolded for making a bad movie before. "Pancake Man" is the first film he directed, and it is also his only film with a box office of over 1 billion so far, but its reputation is not optimistic. This has been scolded by netizens for many years, and many people even said that Dapeng has been paying off debts in these years.
But later, Dapeng also proved himself with one work after another, and the debt had already been paid off.
In fact, he could have straightened up and responded to those bad reviews, and now he is finally about to usher in his second film with a box office of over 1 billion.
Dapeng is no longer the young and inexperienced Dapeng he was back then. Both his acting and directing abilities have been qualitatively improved, and he has even become a well-deserved king in the current comedy film industry.
Just look at how miserable Happy Twist is, and you will know how difficult it is for Dapeng. He also has his own persistence and pursuit. He has made progress in comedy films every year, and has once again produced a comedy film with a box office of over 1 billion.
Now there are many movies released in the same period, but they have not wavered in the "Annual Party Cannot Stop!" 》Championship position.
There are two videos among them that have also attracted much attention.
One is Aaron Kwok's new film "Temporary Robbery", and the other is the movie version of "A Thousand Bones of Flowers".
"Temporary Robbery" brings together three powerful actors, Aaron Kwok, Lin Jiadong, and Ren Xianqi. It tells the story of two decadent middle-aged brothers who planned a robbery, but were accidentally disrupted by gangsters. The three of them formed a temporary team by mistake.
This is another comedy film, but it is based on crime. For Aaron Kwok, this is the first time he has challenged comedy roles in so many years. In the film, he plays Mei Lantian, a "polite" gangster with a slovenly appearance, buck teeth, and a disfigured look that is unexpected. It is also full of comedy.
"In the past ten years, most of them have asked me to act in some very serious movies, and I have played a lot of police roles. This time, I will play a more absurd gangster role, which may give me more room to play, so I am taking the challenge. Just a moment."
Of course, it is not only a simple challenge, but also a buck-toothed shape is designed for the character, which makes this character more comedic.
This is something Aaron Kwok has never tried in the past ten years. He is no longer a serious character, but he is also eye-catching.
In terms of the overall plot design, it also has ulterior motives, and the use of multi-line narrative techniques adds a lot of flavor to the comedy. At its core, the story still tells about the frustrated life of middle-aged people, and it can also arouse the resonance of many people.
Although there are many problems, at least it is still unique among current Hong Kong films, which is why this film earned nearly 80 million box office in three days, ranking second in the single-day box office.
The worst thing was the movie version of "A Thousand Bones of Flowers". This was a movie adapted from a top-notch IP. I never expected that the box office would be terrible.
made less than 5 million in two days after its release. I'm afraid the salary for one of the leading actors is not enough.
Nine years ago, the drama version of "A Thousand Bones" starring Huo Jianhua and Zhao Liying was a hit, with more than 20 billion views. It even won the top ten most influential TV series in the 2015 National Drama Festival. It was also among the screams of 2016. He was awarded the title of "King of Drama of the Year" at the Night Gala, and was also nominated for the Best TV Drama at the 22nd Magnolia Awards in 2016.
Zhao Liying was also named the Audience Favorite Actress Award at the 28th Golden Eagle Awards for her role in this drama.
After nine years, this IP has been made into a movie again.
But the result is unexpected.
But from the perspective of the entire creative team, it seems to have been doomed.
The two leading actors, Chen Duling and Li Chengbin, cannot be compared with Huo Jianhua and Zhao Liying in any case. The female protagonist is still somewhat famous, but many people have never heard of the male protagonist.Even among the entire cast list, there are only a few that are truly famous.
The director is an actor and has no directing experience.
So this film has been the standard of Internet movies from the beginning, but in the end it insisted on being released in theaters. If it is not bad, no one will be bad.
Even if it is as popular as the drama version, the movie is another matter.
No, recently "Defiant 2" chose to return to the Internet. It was originally going to be released in theaters, but after careful consideration, it still chose the conservative route. And this online movie at least has a certain quality guarantee, and it has just returned to the Internet, not to mention this movie version of "A Thousand Bones of Flowers".
The movie version of "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" undoubtedly made the wrong bet this time.
Movies adapted from dramas are not always as good at the box office as "Twinkle Twinkle Star". What's more, the quality of the film itself is not very good, and it relies more on marketing and schedule support.
Like others, such as "Wanna Meet You" and "Love Is Delicious", especially "Love Is Delicious", the box office was also very poor.
Therefore, the adaptation of a drama to a film has its natural advantages, but the risks are also huge. If you just ride on the popularity without pursuing quality, you will naturally lose miserably.
Nowadays, the living space of low-quality videos is getting smaller and smaller, and the long-tail effect of high-quality videos is becoming more and more obvious. Just like now, "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop!" ” is soaring all the way, “Twinkle Twinkle Star” has long been stagnant, and “A Thousand Bones of Flowers” is even more miserable!
