The time for summer vacation for all ages is getting closer and closer, and the "film and television works" during the 24-year summer vacation are gradually becoming more and more anticipated.
The summer vacation of 2024 can be described as "strong as a cloud": there is the "Xihong City IP series" "Catch the Baby" co-starred by Shen Teng and Ma Li.
After this, there are the Hong Kong film masterpiece "Customs Front" and Jackie Chan's "Myth" sequel "Legend". Under the three major blockbusters, there are also some supporting works such as "Rafford Hotel" and "Inside Out 2". ”, “Cloudside Commissary” and a series of other works.
Of course, among these works, the most combative ones are Shen Teng, Jackie Chan and Nicholas Tse.
At first, the showdown between the three king-level actors was: Shen Teng and Ma Li were the only ones, followed closely by Nicholas Tse, and Jackie Chan was the third.
’s prediction is not unreasonable. Although Jackie Chan’s international influence is super strong, he is too old after all, and his thinking in the domestic entertainment market is somewhat derailed.
uses the international market approach to enter the mainland market. Not to mention the elderly Jackie Chan, the "young" Hollywood masterpieces such as Marvel and DC are all getting worse year by year. Jackie Chan is among the three strongest players. It makes sense that the box office will stretch your legs a bit.
As for Nicholas Tse ranking second, the reason is very simple: Jackie Chan and blockbusters are not the only ones who are declining? Hong Kong movies have long been unable to adapt to the mainland market. This can be seen in the fact that the box office of Hong Kong movies is not as good as the previous year. Therefore, Nicholas Tse may be better than Jackie Chan, but after all, it is limited.
It is also very reasonable to rank Shen Teng and Ma Li in the only category: Shen Teng is currently the only member of the "20 billion box office club" in China, and Ma Li is the "10 billion heroine". The two are strong. Strong alliance.
Although the works produced by Happy Twist over the years have been uneven, they have not been bad at the box office, not to mention that this "Catch the Baby" is Shen Teng's once again collaboration with Happy Twist's meritorious directors Yan Fei and Peng Damo.
Shen Teng's other two collaborations with Yan Fei and Peng Damo are "The Richest Man in Xihong City" and "Charlotte Trouble", which made Shen Teng a god. From the results of the two pearls, it is not difficult to predict " The achievement of "Catch Baby": 3 billion box office is inevitable, and the highest goal may be to hit 5 billion box office, ranking among the top three box office of domestic film and television works.
So here comes the question: Since there was a clear analysis very early on, why did a new "prediction" happen after the release was finalized?
The reason is very simple: Nicholas Tse's "Customs Front" has been rescheduled. The original "Customs Front" was scheduled to be released on July 5. It will be released during this time period, which can be regarded as "just in time for the golden period of summer vacation."
However, as the end of June approached, "Customs Front" directly advanced its schedule to June 28th.
seems to have only moved a few days, but for the film and television market, its release a few days in advance may affect the overall situation of the war: both good and bad.
Obviously, Nicholas Tse's "Customs Front" moving forward is a "good thing". How beneficial is
?
Shen Teng and Ma Li's "Catch a Baby" is scheduled to be released on July 18, and Jackie Chan's "Legend" is scheduled to be released on July 12. This means: for the 2024 summer vacation, the frontrunner is Nicholas Tse's "Customs Front" .
People in the world will always be more able to remember and trust the first. Sometimes taking the lead means seizing the market.
Judging from the timeline: "Customs Front" directly preceded "Catch a Baby" by 20 days. During these 20 days, "Customs Front" had almost no rivals.
And Nicholas Tse himself is very strong. His last "theatrical masterpiece" was "Fury: Crime", which shocked the world by earning more than 2 billion in box office even though the whole world was not optimistic about it. Nowadays, Nicholas Tse has "the most important thing" and the audience's trust has been greatly improved. In the absence of competitors, the box office of "Customs Front" can definitely "raise".
If we say "the original box office that "Customs Front" could achieve is the box office of "Wrath: Serious Case"", that is more than 2 billion.
"Customs Front", which was released in advance and took the lead in the summer vacation, now has the potential to hit the 3 billion market. The potential of "Customs Front" has increased, but the market share is only so much, which also means: Some are happy and some are sad.
If Nicholas Tse is happy, then Shen Teng is worried. After all, if "Customs Front" really has the potential to hit the 3 billion mark, then "Succession Plan"'s ambition to hit 5 billion will go to waste and create a "box office miracle" "The ambition will also drop directly to: beat "Customs Front" and retain the 2024 summer vacation box office championship.
If domestic entertainment works lose to Hong Kong movies, and "20 billion movie king" Shen Teng loses to Nicholas Tse, whose "main job is a cook and side job is filming", then that is a real joke. Shen Teng cannot afford to make such a joke.
Of course, market volume is a good thing for the audience.
The more volume the market has, the more refined the "fine chaff" the audience will eat. The peak showdown of
4's summer vacation is coming soon, so get ready and look forward to it.
