Miss Understanding from Top Cinema (Original by topcinema, reproduction is strictly prohibited)
Who would have thought that in this March movie market, the person who lost the most was actually the superstar: Andy Lau.
Andy Lau.
Two movies were released, " Mr. Red Carpet " was miserable at the box office, and the other one was even worse than "Mr. Red Carpet".
The daily box office of " Life and Death Racing " is only 28,000, which makes people doubt their own eyes!
The king of movies, the king of movies, is it out of order?
"Mr. Red Carpet", starring Andy Lau and directed by Ning Hao, was released for a few days during the Spring Festival. It received mediocre reviews and failed to recover at the box office. It struggled to break over 100 million. After that, it was urgently withdrawn and rescheduled for release on March 15.
However, in March, a high-reputation movie " Remove Three Evils in Weekly " came with great force, and the reputation and box office were soaring all the way. Even the Hollywood science fiction blockbuster " Dune 2" was suppressed, which made "Red Carpet" try to rise again. Sir", misfired again.
Five days after its re-release, the daily box office of "Mr. Red Carpet" has not even reached 700,000, and the current cumulative box office has only exceeded 91 million. If it wants to exceed 100 million, it is still out of reach based on the current film schedule and daily box office.
As far as the current situation is concerned, there is no hope for the box office of "Mr. Red Carpet" to turn around. Compared with the investment of 260 million yuan, the current box office of this movie can only be described in four words: all money lost.
Although the problem with "Mr. Red Carpet" is not Andy Lau, as the main creator, he inevitably takes the blame along with director Ning Hao.
Objectively speaking, Andy Lau acted very carefully this time and even made breakthroughs. Some plots in the film are still testing the edge of danger. Director Ning Hao of
should bear the main responsibility. The overall script and editing were too narcissistic and did not take into account the viewing experience of ordinary audiences.
"Mr. Red Carpet" originally had a chance to win over the audience because it was billed as an "absurd comedy". However, the movie opened with Cantonese lines at the beginning, which actively cut off communication with many viewers.
The so-called comedy is not comedy enough. Some black humor elements are too obscure to reach the audience's point of laughter and cannot resonate. Some viewers even said after watching it: they don't know what they want to express.
I originally thought that "Mr. Red Carpet" was just a mistake by Andy Lau. Unexpectedly, on March 16, another movie starring Andy Lau was released, and he lost even more miserably.
was released for 4 days, and the cumulative box office was less than 500,000, and the daily box office was only 28,000.
This movie is "Racing of Life and Death" (formerly known as "") from Taiwan, China. The director and screenwriter are brothers Ke Youqian and Ke Youlun respectively.
The father of these two is the late famous artist and stuntman Ke Shouliang. He was also Andy Lau's former good brother, and they once sang the famous "Stupid Kid" together.
The Ke brothers chose to film a racing theme this time. On the one hand, they wanted to pay tribute to their father, and on the other hand, they felt that they wanted to replicate the success of "Initial Words d". But it is a pity that everyone has only watched the movie " Racing Life 2". The contrast in quality is too obvious and the audience is unable to complain.
The protagonist of this movie is not Andy Lau, but the rapper Shou Zi and the female singer Chen Jiahua.
Obviously, this time Andy Lau was taking care of the two brothers of the Ke family, and he made a friendly guest appearance in the movie "Racing". Everyone could see that he was repaying a debt of gratitude.
Andy Lau, despite his "advanced age" of over 60, drove a car in this racing-themed movie, which can be said to be his best effort. This time, he also played a husband and wife with his old screen partner Karen Lam.
It is worth mentioning that Andy Lau did not just pass by in this movie, but appeared solidly for almost 10 minutes.
Not only Andy Lau, but also Lan Xinmei, the eldest sister in the entertainment industry in Taiwan, also made a cameo appearance in this movie.
Even though the head of Andy Lau, who is not the protagonist, was placed in the center of the poster, which is the most conspicuous position, it still failed to save the film's reputation and box office.
Douban score is only 4.8 points, and Andy Lau is printed in the middle of the movie poster. The box office of this movie is now less than 500,000, which is simply unbelievable.
This shows that everyone is no longer foolishly paying for the king.
Andy Lau, what’s wrong?
What happened to the movie Andy Lau chose to star in?
What happened to the box office of the movie Andy Lau chose to star in?
From the decline in word-of-mouth and box office performance of Hong Kong movies in the past year, to Andy Lau's two consecutive losses of two movies in March, people have to think: What went wrong?
Favors must be returned, face must be given, and younger generations must also love and support them. However, when filming, we should still prioritize creation and satisfy the audience first, so that everyone can be happy.
must admit that actors are sometimes very passive and there are many uncertainties in their creations, but continuous sluggish productions will also make the audience lose confidence.
hopes that Andy Lau will stop playing with his good cards.
