Many people must be a little surprised by the failure of "Mr. Red Carpet". After all, this is the New Year's Eve film of actor Andy Lau.
However, the cruel fact is before our eyes: when the movie was released during the Lunar New Year, the box office performance was very sluggish, and in desperation it was announced that it would withdraw from the Spring Festival period.
Unexpectedly, when the movie was re-released in March, attendance and film schedules were getting lower and lower, and the daily box office growth was only a few hundred thousand.
has reached more than 90 million yuan now, but it has been unable to break through the 100 million yuan threshold.
It’s a joke to say that the Spring Festival movie cannot break 100 million.
But the creator of the joke is Andy Lau, the male god in everyone's mind. This makes people sigh even more: is a hero who is late after all.
Previously, Andy Lau had never stayed away from the film industry and had been working hard in filming.
For example, in 2021, the aging Andy Lau also starred in "The Crowd".
is also a Lunar New Year movie, and the box office is not bad either.
In 2023, 62-year-old Andy Lau will star as a scientist and professor in "The Wandering Earth 2", exploring the secrets behind digital immortality.
performed the role particularly exquisitely and completely sublimated the core of the character.
He is still able to have such superb acting skills when he is over 60 years old. It is really amazing to see Andy Lau in his current state.
Only truly good actors who are impeccable can stand at the center of the entertainment industry throughout their lives.
However, even though he has done everything in his life, he still completely overturned in the movie "Mr. Red Carpet".
Actually, Andy Lau is not an exception. Among the middle-aged and elderly male stars in the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles, many have become outdated.
1. Jacky Cheung
In the past year, Jacky Cheung held more than a hundred concerts a year, but it was not to give back to his fans, but because he could not survive in the stock market.
His wife's stock lost 2 billion in four years, so he had to rely on this method to make money, and even sold the mansion.
2. Yan Chengxu
Yan Chengxu was once a star of idol dramas that was popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. He and f4 created a storm in Taiwan.
He still refused to admit defeat after reaching middle age, and carefully selected a script "Summer Flower", hoping to achieve a counterattack and turnaround. Unfortunately, this drama did not have any sparks.
3. Mingdao
Mingdao is no longer a protagonist in the film and television industry. He is just playing supporting roles.
Every time he appears, it makes people feel overwhelmed, which makes the quality of the entire TV series much weaker.
finally played a male character with a lot of scenes, but his "kiss me" relationship with Jiang Wenli shocked people.
4. Aaron Kwok
The same is true for Aaron Kwok. As he gets older, his popularity is no longer. However, his overturn did not just happen recently. In fact, the foreshadowing was laid many years ago.
At that time, facing Xiong Dailin, who had been with him for many years, Aaron Kwok kicked him away without hesitation.
A selfish person is not only selfish in one thing. Later, he married the young and beautiful Fang Yuan. Their marriage seemed to be very beautiful. In fact, Fang Yuan also sacrificed a lot and was completely reduced to housewife.
Aaron Kwok has also consumed the public's favor for him for these reasons. In recent years, no one is willing to pay for his concerts, and the ticket prices are not sold at very low figures.
From this point of view, time treats everyone in the world equally.
No one can escape the natural law of birth, old age, illness and death, or the invasion of time, so it is easy to overturn.
Perhaps if these male celebrities take good care of themselves, belittle their desires, and let go of worldly affairs, the good impression they leave on the audience will last longer.
