"The law will punish them and give them opportunities, but where is my daughter?" - This is the desperate cry of Li Changfeng's actor Wang Qianyuan in the trailer of the movie "The Wandering Blade ".
After the Qingming Festival, the mainland film market was a little quiet. Major producers were making final preparations for the May Day release. At this time, several new films were scheduled to be released.
First, Emperor Entertainment's annual blockbuster production, " Customs Front " starring Jacky Cheung and Nicholas Tse, has announced that it will enter the summer season and will be available to everyone on July 5th.
Secondly, the comedy film " I Love You " invested and produced by Dapeng is scheduled to be released on December 31. The starring roles are Jin Chen and Sun Yang from last year's hit film " All or Nothing ".
In addition, Dapeng has gained a lot. " The Eighth Suspect " was also nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Actor. I wonder if the New Year's Eve can replicate the box office trend of "The Annual Party Cannot Stop"?
Third, Gao Qunshu’s new work " Trident " will be released on May 24. It is adapted from the popular TV series of the same name. The cast includes Huang Zhizhong, Jiang Wu and Guo Tao. These are all middle-aged uncles with acting skills, and they are still very impressive. What people expect.
Fourth, Wang Qianyuan's "The Wandering Blade" is scheduled to be released on May 17.
Brother Fei said after watching the finalized trailer: The box office is stable!
's goal of 1 billion is very likely to be achieved. The four key words of provide a detailed analysis of the box office explosive potential.
1. Keigo Higashino and "The Wandering Blade".
First, let’s introduce the plot.
His daughter was the fate of single father Li Changfeng (played by Wang Qianyuan), but she was abused to death by several minors. What made him even more unbearable was that they made a video of the abuse of his daughter and sent it to him.
The desperate Li Changfeng embarked on the road of revenge. He will use his own way to make the young demons pay the due price.
Interpol Liang Jun, played by Wang Jingchun, takes action at a critical moment...
The film is adapted from the novel of the same name by Keigo Higashino.
Secondly, the writer Keigo Higashino.
I believe this novelist needs no introduction.
He is one of the top ten suspense novelists in the world, along with Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, Raymond Chandler and others.
's representative works include "The Secret", "White Night", "Galileo Galilei", "The Devotion of Suspect X", etc.
Keigo Higashino's novels have profound literary heritage and creative storylines. They are full of suspense elements and can give people a feeling of enlightenment in the end.
He is also particularly good at in-depth discussions on topics such as social reality and human nature, and a large number of his works resonate with readers.
For example, after the publication of "White Night Walk", a total of 10 million copies were sold between 2006 and 2018. The sales volume in China alone was as high as 4 million copies. Many Chinese people have a copy of "White Night Walk" in their bookcases.
Keigo Higashino's works are even more sought after by film and television practitioners. Like China's Jin Yong, almost every novel has been adapted into film and television dramas.
In the past few years, we have also begun to work on Higashino Keigo's novels, such as "The Devotion of Suspect X", "Jieyou Grocery Store", "Corridor Pavilion", etc., all of which have achieved relatively good box office results.
Finally, the masterpiece "The Wandering Blade".
This novel was written by Keigo Higashino in 2004. Its essence is to explore human nature and social phenomena.
currently has two adapted versions, one is the six-episode Japanese drama "The Wandering Blade" starring Yutaka Takenouchi; the other is the Korean movie "The Wandering Blade" starring Jung Jae-young.
has a great reputation.
In other words, the Chinese version of "The Wandering Blade" is based on IP, and if the gems come first, how can it not be a box office hit?
2. Wang Qianyuan.
I like this actor very much. I have watched all his works.
Who is the best in " Save My Mr. "?
is not Andy Lau, but the third supporting actor Wang Qianyuan.
This film helped him win multiple nominations at film festivals. His outstanding acting skills and changeable performance style made the audience remember him, and Wang Qianyuan became the biggest highlight of the entire film.
Going back further, "The Piano" was another wonderful performance, and the role of Chen Guilin was unforgettable. This film also won him the best actor crown at the Tokyo International Film Festival.
As a side note, the person played by Ethan Ruan in "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" is also named Chen Guilin.
Is it possible for someone named Chen Guilin to become a hit at the box office by word of mouth?
The above proves Wang Qianyuan’s acting skills, and the following proves that he can handle the box office.
Wang Qianyuan, the leading actor in Guan Hu's "八百", grossed a box office of 3.1 billion; "Big Shot" and "Deviolation" had box office of 380 million and 538 million respectively.
In the trailer of "The Wandering Blade", Wang Qianyuan holds his daughter's body, and his voice of despair hits people's hearts. As a powerful actor, as long as he encounters a great script, will his performance still make less money at the box office?
3. The murder of a junior high school student in Handan.
The plot summary introduced above, did you think of anything?
Yes, "The Wandering Blade" is highly consistent with the case of three junior high school students in Handan who bullied their classmates to death.
are all related to minor crimes.
This bad incident in Handan has aroused widespread attention and discussion from all walks of life. The seriousness of juvenile crime and social problems are right in front of us.
How should audiences usually solve the social reality issues involved in movies?
For example, there is a line in the trailer: "Is there any sentence at the age of forty, uncle."
Wang Qianyuan's character in "The Wandering Blade" starts from revenge, and extends to multi-dimensional discussions such as family, law and morality. , is a work of great social significance.
It is exactly the same as the sentence said at the beginning of this article:
"The law will punish them and give them opportunities, but what about my daughter?"
The murder of a junior high school student in Handan will add a layer of meaning and meaning to "The Wandering Blade" Empathy, the audience will have stronger curiosity and resonance with this subject matter.
also hopes that through this movie, we can see the fate of three junior high school students in Handan in advance. If the penalty is not recognized by the public, will the father of the murdered boy stage a real version of "The Wandering Blade"?
Therefore, combined with realistic themes, the movie "The Wandering Blade" will definitely bring high attention and topicality, and it will be a natural thing to trigger a movie-watching craze.
Brother Fei believes that as long as the reputation does not collapse, it will be easy to surpass Huang Bo's "Walking in the Angry Sea" with a box office of 549 million, and the target box office is 1 billion!
4. Competition for schedules.
html On May 17, there are currently four films that will compete on the top of the Forbidden City, namely " Zhaoyun Muyu ", "Stuntman", "You Are By My Side" and "The Wandering Blade".Who is the king in this period?
"You Are By My Side" starring Li Wenhan and He Nan is adapted from the popular novel "Tattoo" and has not received much attention. After fans of the original work and starring fans contribute some box office, the probability of a three-day trip to the theater is very high.
"Stuntman" is an action film directed by David Leitch and starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt. It was originally released on May 1st, but a number of movies came in later, so it was changed to May 1st. January 17th.
This is a Hollywood movie. As we all know, since "Avatar 2", Hollywood blockbusters have continued to decline in mainland China. Even Tom Cruise's "Mission: Impossible 7" and Vin Diesel's "Fast and Furious 10" "The box office crashed."
Therefore, "Stunt Maniac" does not have any advantage to compete with "Wandering Blade".
Zhou Dongyu’s new film is here!
Director Zhang Guoli, Fan Wei and Zhou Dongyu's "Morning Cloud and Muyu" will be the first to be scheduled.
Brother Fei watched the trailer. The suspense setting is very interesting, especially Chang Juan, played by Zhou Dongyu, is a highlight. The story hidden behind her will definitely be very exciting.
Zhou Dongyu's box office appeal has declined sharply in recent years. After "Young You" earned 1.558 billion at the box office, she began to decline.
Although "King of the Sky" scored 8.5 points at the box office, most of the credit goes to Wang Yibo, because she is not a starring role, so the results will not be counted on you.
Huang Bo and Jia Ling's " Embracing You Through the Cold Winter " and Zhang Yimou's "Sturdy as a Rock" are the same. As supporting roles, they cannot become Zhou Dongyu's masterpiece.
Last year, Zhou Dongyu released three works in one go, all of which hit the box office, such as "Burning Winter" with a box office of 26.07 million, "Hot Search" with a box office of 63.25 million, and "Parrot Killing" with a box office of 39.39 million.
With the debut of Mou Girl, and the blessing of a movie queen, such box office results are unjustifiable to both investors and audiences.
Zhou Dongyu needs a commercial box office masterpiece to prove his strength.
I originally thought that "Morning Cloud and Muyu" would shine in this period, but I didn't expect that "The Wandering Blade" would come later. Zhou Dongyu encountered a strong opponent.
If the real-life issues discussed in "Morning Cloud and Muyu" were not so profound and its reputation was average, it would most likely be beaten by "The Wandering Blade" this time.
Based on the above four key words, I think "The Wandering Blade"'s target of a billion box office is just around the corner!
5. Conclusion.
The latest news is that three junior high school students in Handan have been approved for prosecution.
At the same time, Changjiang Daily recently reported: Four minors aged 12 or over and under 14 were sentenced to 10 to 15 years in prison in accordance with the law.
I hope that "The Wandering Blade" can go deeper. It is best to analyze the root causes, solutions and social responsibilities of juvenile crime all at once.
also hopes that this movie can reach the heights of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" and draw national attention to juvenile crimes, so that parents can pay attention to their children and detect signs of it as soon as possible, whether they are being bullied or bullying classmates.
containment prevents such incidents from happening again!
