This year’s Spring Festival has indeed become the most crowded Spring Festival in Chinese film history. There are currently nine new films scheduled to be released during this year’s Spring Festival, eight of which are theatrical movies and one is an online movie.
Even if it is the most crowded Spring Festival period in Chinese film history, even if there are nine new films scheduled, it is difficult to avoid that this will be the Spring Festival period with the worst box office performance in the past five or six years. Because except for that big online movie, the remaining eight theatrical films do not have the ability to create high box office, and they are not very exciting. In particular, an animated film that was just announced to be scheduled not long ago is going to become the biggest "cannon fodder" in the entire schedule.
At first, many people thought that attention-grabbing big-budget sequel movies such as Stephen Chow's "Mermaid 2", Wu Ershan's "Fengshen Part 2", and director Jiaozi's "Nezha: The Devil Boy Havoc in the Sea" would all be successful. It may be released during the Spring Festival this year.
didn't expect that they were not among the movies that had been confirmed.
On January 29 this year, with less than half a month left before the Spring Festival, another new movie in the domestic market was confirmed to be released during the Spring Festival. But this new movie is not very exciting. Not only that, it is also likely to become the biggest "cannon fodder" during the Spring Festival.
A new movie that has just been scheduled for the Spring Festival is an animated fantasy comedy "Huang Pi: The God of Wealth Cat descends from the sky". Some of its storylines come from "Journey to the West", one of the four famous novels. It mainly tells the story of Huang Pi, who participated in the Huaguoshan uprising during the riot in the Heavenly Palace, and was beaten into a cat shape by the four heavenly kings. When his life was at stake, the God of Wealth Ancestor saved him. In order to repay the kindness of the ancestor of the God of Wealth, Huang Pi led five clones to the mortal world, preparing to find a feng shui treasure land in the world, plant a money tree of the Year of the Dragon, and give the ancestor of the God of Wealth a surprise story.
In the past six or seven years of China’s film history, the films that dare to be released during the Spring Festival are either big productions or highly anticipated works. And cartoons like "Huang Pi: The God of Wealth Cat from Heaven" that are not well-known and have not done any publicity will basically choose the off-season. Under such circumstances, it dared to choose to release during the Spring Festival, which shows that this film is very courageous.
has a new film scheduled. Although you can get a piece of the pie to some extent, if it is a new film that has received little attention and is not expected, it may make some people happy.
Before "Huang Pi: The God of Wealth Cat" is scheduled to be released, " Mr. Red Carpet " starring Andy Lau will most likely become the "cannon fodder" for this year's Spring Festival. It is very likely to be in the middle of the box office list for this year's Spring Festival. Ranked last. And with the arrival of "Huang Pi: The Cat Who Descends from the Sky", Andy Lau's movies may no longer be at the bottom, and the biggest "cannon fodder" will also change hands.
