In the past few years, Xu Zheng can be said to have been holding back his energy, which is to prove his energy.
Four years ago, "囧Mom", the third film in the "囧 series" directed and starred by Xu Zheng, chose to withdraw from theaters due to the epidemic. Not long after, Xu Zheng sold the film to a platform for 600 million yuan, and domestic audiences were able to watch the film for free on the platform.
A movie was not released in theaters, but was broadcast for free on the platform. This is indeed a good thing for the audience, because we can watch it without spending a penny or spending too much time. to the movie you want to watch. However, such an operation can be regarded as an act that disrupts the market and directly offended all the filmmakers in the industry. Many directors and actors, including Chen Sicheng, have denounced Xu Zheng.
From that time until now, Xu Zheng has never directed or acted in a film. He even put the "囧 series" aside and began to prepare to shoot other types of films. And " retrograde life " is the new movie he wants to prove himself.
"Retrograde Life" is directed and starred by Xu Zheng. This is his first independent film outside of the "囧 series". In addition to Xu Zheng, Xin Zhilei, Wang Xiao, Jia Bing, Feng Many well-known actors such as Bing , Ding Yongdai and Ding Jiali have also joined the cast. The film is a drama comedy that focuses on people at the bottom. It mainly tells the story of Gao Zhilei (played by Xu Zheng), a former middle-level executive of a major Internet company, who became a "student at home" due to his impulse, but he did not expect that his life would "go into the reverse direction". story.
Not long ago, the new film "Retrograde Life" directed and starred by Xu Zheng released its final trailer and poster. It is officially announced that it will be released in mainland theaters starting on August 9 this year. This is Xu Zheng’s summer vacation in China again after six years.
Six years ago, " I am not the god of medicine " starring Xu Zheng was released in the summer season. It eventually earned a high box office of over 3 billion yuan and successfully won the box office championship in the summer season that year. In addition to high box office, the film also received unanimous praise from the audience, and its score even reached 9.0 points. This is the only domestic film with a score of 9.0 in the past ten years.
Now, Xu Zheng returns with "Retrograde Life". Judging from the film's subject matter and the just-released trailer, I feel that this film can also create very good box office results, and it may also be able to win the box office championship this summer.
Most viewers have high expectations for "Retrograde Life", and many people believe that the film will definitely be a box office hit.
Because this is Xu Zheng's ambitious work, it is his first film outside of the "囧 series". If the film can be highly praised by the audience after its official release, its final total box office may exceed 4 billion yuan. After all, the theme and storyline of the film are closely related to the lives of most domestic audiences. If its box office can really exceed 4 billion, then this film will successfully surpass "hothot" and become this year's box office champion.
